Second Half Chapter 2

<<Isn’t that just a tear-jerking friendship. Player Reyes, having slipped away from his celebrating teammates, goes to comfort Player Ban Jerim… Oh.>>

<<…He brushed him off? He definitely brushed him off, right? Oh, that was quite catty.>>

<<…It’s an action only possible because they’re truly close! “Hey punk, why are you here? You go over there and lift the Big Ear.” Isn’t it likely some playful behavior like that? Then, we will wrap up the Spo-Channel broadcast here!>>

Today’s Catty Rat lolol

Catty—itself

⤷LOLOLOL Oh, Jeri~~~

⤷Let’s not do this with a candid capture, his mental state must be trashed anyway since they were Champions League runners-up;;;

⤷Anyway, it’s a fact that he brushed him off, isn’t it? k

⤷His expression, fuck lololol It was captured so funnily, there’s really no other expression for it besides catty… lololol

It’s freaking hilarious how the commentators got flustered and cut the broadcast in a hurry.

“Hey punk, why are you here! You go over there and lift the Big Ear!”

Leaving behind a legendary line of all time, fml lolololol

⤷It’s true though. He should’ve stayed with his own teammates playing patty-cake, why did he have to come over and “console” him? Pouring oil on a burning house?

⤷Those two were damn close during their youth days, so that’s probably why he came over?

⤷But they unfollowed each other after that legendary World Cup k

⤷⤷That was already 10 years ago, they must’ve reconciled.

⤷If they reconciled, they would’ve followed each other back,,???

⤷⤷There’s even a theory that the reason Ban Jerim hasn’t attended the Ballon d’Or ceremonies is because he hates the sight of Aaron, so fat chance they reconciled. h

Wow, but just how much does he hate him? hh

It’s my first time seeing Jeri react like that.

⤷FR, there have been times I was flustered because he was at another team’s players’ home party, but man, lolol

⤷It looks like he said something while brushing the hand off, but his mouth is covered so I don’t know. t_t Probably a curse?

⤷If it’s a curse, isn’t his personality totally amazing?? What’s with cursing at someone who’s trying to help you up.

⤷The mind-readers have arrived. k As if you guys could even understand if he spoke in Spanish.

Jerim really needs to have an exorcism.

This is the curse of the number 2.

⤷Gut~ Gut~

⤷It’s because there’s a “Jae” in his name, tell him to change it.

⤷Is the person above illiterate? Where is there a “Jae” in Ban Jerim?

⤷It’s not Ban Jae-rim, it’s Ban Jerim, you idiots who don’t even read biographies.

Should I say it’s a relief they got knocked out of the other cup competitions early on? ;;

If they had done a Kong-reble4)… horrible.

⤷Kong-jwi.

⤷⤷Hey, you’re really mean.

⤷Kong-jwi LMAO is this guy insane??

It is a pity.

Sigh.. the pass was really good t_t_t_t Is it easy to give a pass like that right after escaping pressure with three opponents on you?

⤷Lehmann Fritz, no matter how young he still is, his clinical finishing is, well,,,~

⤷You have to consider that this is Lehmann’s first season after moving leagues; his basic stats are originally okay.

⤷⤷Agreed… He’ll get better once his adaptation period is over. To be honest, I think Lehmann did well for a runner-up finish in his first season.

⤷Our Jeri was flying from his very first season after moving leagues at 18. t_t

⤷⤷That’s because Jeri is special. lololol Geniuses like Jeri or Aaron are exceptions, obviously.

⤷Even if it’s an adaptation period, still,, shouldn’t he at least be able to finish a spoon-fed goal? Even I could have put that in. lol

If Sefton wants to win the Champions League next season,

They need to bring in a veteran striker who’s ready to play this summer and keep Fritz as a substitute resource to gain experience.

⤷True, he needs to be fed some experience points… Scoring in clutch situations is a matter of mentality as much as finishing ability.

⤷Jerim should have just taken the shot himself.. t_t Why, when he scores long-range goals so well;;;

⤷⤷If he had kept the ball there, the shooting angle wouldn’t have opened up. Jerim made a good judgment on this.

Honestly, with this squad and this depth5), they did damn well.

Jerim hard-carried, for real.

⤷To say it’s a squad problem, it’s true the midfield and defense are good. It’s just that the attackers are the problem.

⤷Is there even a team where the attack, midfield, and defense are all good? It’s good if you have just two out of the three.

⤷⤷True, but at the very least, they shouldn’t be at the level of spitting it out. k Even when Jerim stabs in a killer pass, the Sefton strikers just mumble and “tueh” it out.

Fact: If they were truly at the level of spitting it out, they wouldn’t have even made it to the Champions League final.

You chauvinists, stop overhyping only Ban Jerim.

And individual fans of other players, please get lost, this power struggle is disgusting.

⤷True, please!!!! I’m sick of seeing it.

⤷Ah, I really relate t_t_t There are many Sefton team fans here, too, you know??? fml I’m already pissed about being runners-up.

Aaron Reyes vs. Lehmann Fritz

Isn’t it an undeniable fact that Reyes is on another level?

⤷Compare things that are comparable;

⤷I admit Fritz is a prospect, but Reyes… lol He’s incomparable.

⤷Excuse me, Aaron has three Ballon d’Ors at age 27. He’s the same age as Jerim in Korean age, but Jerim has no Ballon d’Ors. t_t

⤷Jerim is a nationality issue. If he had naturalized to Spain during his youth days, he’d be playing well for Tabarona and winning the Ballon d’Or now, right?

⤷⤷But wouldn’t his Korean nickname be “traitor” then?? He has enough bad nicknames as it is, sigh…

⤷⤷If it means winning the World Cup + a Ballon d’Or,,, I’d just be a traitor. hh

If Aaron comes to Sefton, the dream squad will be complete.

Isn’t the contract renewal with Tabarona not making progress? Transfer to Sefton.

⤷Yeah, that’s never happening~ Tabarona FC = Aaron Reyes.

⤷Where do these people think they are, trying to pull out the main pillar of someone else’s house;; kah-tueh

⤷He’s a pure-blood Tabarona youth product and the captain of the Spanish national team, there’s no reason for him to transfer.

⤷Would the ace of a club that wins the Champions League as easily as eating meals even come,,? Delaying the renewal is probably just to negotiate weekly wages.

⤷The comments above, was it already a month ago? lol That actually happened.

Aaron to Sefton, Here We Go is up!!!!!!!

(Article Link)

⤷wtf

⤷Heol, and it’s even a free transfer6);;;; He’s going to get criticized like crazy, right? shiver

⤷Is this a dream?

⤷Suddenly? Did the little boy inside his heart whisper “Sefton”?

⤷Wow, this actually happened.

⤷What is this?? What???? For real, what is this????

1. When a player achieves three goals in one match.
2. The Champions League trophy.
3. England’s professional football first division, collectively referred to as the Premier League.
4. Kong-reble, meaning finishing as runner-up in three competitions in one season.
5. A term referring to the combined skill levels of the starting players and the backup players.
6. The act of transferring after a contract period ends without paying a transfer fee to the current club.
7. Otra Vez

Even inside the car heading to the airport, Jerim could not take his hands off his phone. Usually, he suffered from severe motion sickness to the point where he would put on an eye mask and sleep as soon as he got in a car unless he was driving himself, but today, his sense of desolation beat the motion sickness. The way he was scrolling down and reading internet articles in a trance made it look as if he were about to be sucked into the phone screen, which was smaller than his palm.

<Aaron Reyes, No Particular Reason for Sudden Transfer… Just Felt It Was Time for a Turning Point in Life>

What kind of crazy bullshit is this, really? Since winning the league every season is the standard, and he lifts things like the Pichichi7), the Ballon d’Or, and the Big Ear as easily as eating, is he spouting ungrateful bullshit about life becoming boring? Next, for now.

<Tabarona in Mourning, Spanish Public Opinion Also Pleads “Reyes, Please Don’t Go”>

It was an article with a large-scale photo of a young boy in a Tabarona jersey crying. In reality, that photo was of the boy rejoicing when Tabarona achieved two consecutive Champions League titles… Whether it was Korea, England, or Spain, he was used to the behavior of drawing attention with photos that didn’t fit the situation, so he moved on.

The content of the article itself was interesting. Thanks to the kind inclusion of social media reactions in Spanish, he could vividly see what kind of reactions the locals were showing toward this transfer.

“Be… trayal. This sucks. Ungrateful. Suddenly…”

Jerim stumbled over the Spanish he hadn’t read in a long time. Since he had dated people from Spanish-speaking cultures a few times and there were quite a few players in the club who spoke Spanish, he had opportunities to keep speaking the language, but interpreting internet posts covered in all sorts of slang took a bit of time. Having managed to read it all, he knit his brows.

“No, if you’re going to curse, just curse that guy, why our team…”

Shitty club. That phrase pierced Jerim’s heart. To be more precise, the full text was asking why he would leave the world’s most prestigious club to go to such a shitty club.

Fuck, seriously, this is so absurd. What shitty club in the world consistently maintains a spot in the EPL Big 4, and has this season’s record of second in the league and Champions League runner-up?

Of course, it was true that Sefton’s performance was overall lower compared to Tabarona. Sefton had no players who had won the Ballon d’Or (Jerim was only ever nominated), and they weren’t a team that took winning the league for granted every season. However, since the leagues were different to begin with, a definitive comparison was impossible.
