Chapter 323 – A Beautiful Farewell (3)

323

The 37/38 season ended with Newcastle’s wide move, and a major incident that broke out when all the eyes of the football world were going to the World Cup, which was not far away.

The first was Jorge Garcia, the ace of Real Madrid and Spain.
It was Jorge Garcia who upset Real Madrid with the remark, “Life in Madrid is coming to an end” After being eliminated after an all-time great match against Newcastle led by Hong Min-jun in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

However, despite the truly unbelievable performance at the time, along with Hong Min-joon, who deserved to be called “God”, The consensus that the disappointment was not the only one, and the prediction that the team would be disappointed with the sluggish appearance, and above all, the Real leadership It was possible to end up in an uproar because there was trust that transfer would not be allowed unless he was crazy.

No matter how much Jorge Garcia wants to transfer, he has two years left in his contract anyway, so if Real Madrid doesn’t agree, he will have to play for the team for at least two more years.

Jorge, who is full of professionalism, will not slow down, and temporarily and impulsively spit out words out of disappointment, but when time passes, won’t you renew the contract?

It’s been a bit sluggish lately, but it’s that “Real Madrid”.
Los Blancos believed in their team that did not miss anything, history, fundamentals, career, capital, but the reality was harsh.

“Shock!! Transfer of Jorge Garcia to Real Madrid accepted!!

The transfer of Jorge Garcia was officially allowed.

“The Real Madrid board has made a shocking announcement that they have allowed the transfer of key player Jorge Garcia.
The 19th president, Juan Luis, said, “We respect the will of the players. Considering the hard work of Jorge Garcia, who has devoted himself to the team, we decided that it was not right to block his path.”

“We need players who can show respect and dedication to the team. A player who does not have respect and passion for the white jersey and the stars engraved on it cannot be called Los Blancos,” He criticized indirectly.

Jorge Garcia was an ace of Spain’s age-group national team early on, leading three consecutive international championships by age group and a key player in Spain’s golden generation. He made his La Liga debut at the age of just 17.

Afterwards, he moved from Bilbao to Real Madrid with a sensational performance, recording 141 goals and 98 assists in 174 matches over 4 years, winning 3 league titles, 2 Champions League titles, 2 King’s Cup titles, 2 Club World Cup titles, and the Super Cup. Accomplished achievements such as winning two championships.

In particular, he achieved the feat of winning three consecutive Ballon d’Or titles for the first time since Lionel Messi, and together with Hong Min-joon, he was regarded as the best in his career and formed a sparkling rivalry.

With the announcement of the transfer of Jorge Garcia, who was considered the signboard and ace of Real Madrid, and the next captain, and the announcement of the leadership who accepted it, suspicions of conflict within the team are growing—”

* * *

“Tsk.”

I tried to calm down and read the article, but I clicked my tongue without realizing it.

Jorge here, Jorge there.
Why are there so many Jorge knights?

Because of his aggro, my bombshell remark that turned the welcome ceremony into a funeral was buried.

‘Shit… There wasn’t enough aggro.’

I’ll have to prepare more faithfully for the next interview.
I brought an interview with the first person in this field so that I can definitely attract aggro—

“June. What are you muttering about?”

As soon as the plane takes off, probably because of yesterday’s bullying, Anna, who was sleeping with her eye patch on, stretches her like a cat and asks.

“I read sports articles, but it’s all about Jorge. Here too… Uh? My article appeared.”

I refreshed, and in the meantime the headline has changed.

『Goodbye, Newcastle! Welcoming Ceremony to the Farewell Place』

Oh well, he’s handsome too
I was satisfied with the picture of my face hanging on the door, so I clicked it.

“—It was the last time I was presenting my impressions. The reason Hong Min-joon said goodbye.
Minjun Hong—
.
.
.
The protagonist of the Newcastle dynasty, the core of Newcastle, and the owner of Newcastle.
At first, fans reacted furiously to Hong Min-joon’s farewell declaration, which is called Seongju and is considered the best player in Newcastle’s history.

A place to welcome the quadruple players.
It was that moment when Newcastle-upon-Tyne, which was full of passionate fans, was excited.

“I would like to leave a last gift so that all the moments I had with Newcastle and the four years, which is not a short time, will all remain as shining memories. The only gift I can give you is the transfer fee.”

Hong Min-joon’s calm voice brought Newcastle fans to tears.

“I will never forget the memories I had with you. As before, please smile until the moment you leave so that it will remain as a beautiful memory.”

At the emperor’s request, all the citizens wept and laughed.
.
.
. 」

Um, um
Anna, who was looking into the screen next to her, smiled contentedly as she smiled contentedly.

“I remember. At first, I thought it was going to be a riot, so I was very nervous.”
“A riot. I am the King of Newcastle. No.1 Legend Hong Min-joon. What kind of riot is a riot that can’t stand a statue in front of the stadium?”
“It’s only on riot days. I thought the Newcastle dynasty would begin, but the founder ran away. The country will be pissed off too.”
“It still didn’t happen. Look, everyone laughs while crying at my words.”

As I was about to shake her head with a hearty smile, Anna tackled her again.

“Is that really for a beautiful farewell? Isn’t it because of the transfer fee?”
“Uh huh. It is not so. … Maybe.”
“It seems to me that they put up with it because they offered a hefty transfer fee. The legend catches the run, so you have to get a transfer fee then.”

Somehow she learns Korean and visits Korean Internet sites, and she only learns strange words.
She is arguing with Anna and then feels her plane go down. In-flight broadcasts coming soon.

“June.”
“Huh?”
“I was too hasty.”

As she gazed at the approaching land, she whispered softly to Anna.

“What?”
“You know. The transfer isn’t over until it’s over. You don’t know how it will turn out until the whole process is officially over. Because of your hasty announcement, we have to negotiate at a disadvantage.”

In fact, the announcement was made just now, but the coordination of the transfer started a long time ago.
The Newcastle executives, me, and the Real Madrid executives.

Negotiations on a large scale have already reached an agreement.
That’s why I was able to do it in the first place.

“Since you announced your transfer, the option of staying is gone. At a disadvantage in negotiations—”
“Anna.”

I can fully understand.
Because it is the transfer market that can change in an instant even after a verbal agreement.

But.

“You can’t get it wrong. We are the ones holding the hilt. Change the conditions and then just get up. There is nothing to grapple with.”

Staring into Anna’s eyes, she said firmly.

“Remember. Cap is us Real Madrid should be grateful that I was chosen.”
“… June.”

Are you surprised by my strength?
Anna hesitates and opens her mouth.

“Then it will be a big day… ? It was a verbal agreement and I accepted Jorge’s transfer… We won’t stay at Real Madrid if we break up. Besides, I won’t be able to stay in Newcastle as long as I declare this. We negotiated with Real Madrid early on… If the fact that he was tempered was known, he could be branded as a traitor by Newcastle fans.”
“Doesn’t care. What is a traitor?”
“Are you serious?”
“Of course. Don’t worry about my image and negotiate firmly. If you try to change an agreed-upon unfavorably or insert a strange clause, just stand up.”

Seriously.
What’s the use of being treated like a legend? When did romance disappear from the soccer field?

There is no place for a fool looking for romance or romance in the modern professional soccer world, which is thoroughly driven by the logic of capital.

What… Some players still have that illusion.
As a one-club man, to say that he will be with you until the end as a legend.

But will the club really think so?
If you are a player who has been playing soccer since childhood and is only in his 30s at most, there must be a few people who pursue ‘romance’.

However, will the worn-out club executives and those who deal with the realistic issue of finance really move with emotions such as romance or emotion?

If a player alone seeks romance, it will be discarded if it becomes ineffective.
After all, I am a mercenary.
He is not an immigrant or a naturalized citizen, he did not grow up in the club’s youth system from childhood, and he does not have any special connections in Europe.

A dark-haired mercenary from Asia at best.
They talk about legends and emperors now, but will they worship them like they do now even if their skills are low? Probably not

Of course, considering the achievements, I won’t confiscate my face… That’s something I don’t know either.

“No matter how much you talk about legends, in the end, the club and the players are just a business relationship. So think about this when you sign with Real Madrid. Real Madrid is just one step in my career.”

The door of the stopped plane opens.

Okay.
Unless I can achieve a one-club man-like romance, I must thoroughly pursue business and ‘achievements’.

To leave an immortal reputation as a dark-haired stranger in this strange Europe.

“Then let’s go join the national team. To prepare for the World Cup.”

… Well, it’s true that I’m thankful for Newcastle fans, so I should leave as much transfer money as possible.
