All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 316

316. Selection (5)

Vice Chairman Chung Hyun-seong’s original plan was to beat Bin Hammam and become second place.

In that sense, the goal was achieved.

However, I never expected that Blatter would go down and the Bin Hammam would go up.

“shit.”

The tide turned sharply.

I wasn’t hoping to win this election.

I didn’t even look at victory in the first place because I knew very well how great Blatter’s power was within FIFA and how wide his influence was globally.

His goal was to secure only Asian and African votes and then roast and boil Bin Hammam and Prince Hussein.

However, a completely unexpected variable appeared and completely destroyed the game.

Of course, Jeong Hyun-seong also knew from a long time ago that Blatter was a hotbed of corruption, but he was so greedy that he could not use it as a weapon.

This is because if you are careful, you could face backlash.

But the Bin Hammam was different.

No matter how they knew that fact, they succeeded in exposing Blatter’s corruption by putting pressure on Ireland and South Africa.

It was as if he knew all the facts.

“Brother, aren’t we going to make a real fuss if we keep doing this?”

Chairman Jeong Hyun-gyu, who belatedly realized the seriousness of the situation, pursed his lips.

“….”

But Jeong Hyeon-seong did not have time to answer.

The answer was given by the managing director.

“President. In my opinion, the game will change once again depending on Woo Ho-young’s decision. Considering that Rucci called, I’m sure he would bring up something related to naturalization. Several media outlets have already posted articles about the possibility of Woo Ho-young’s naturalization. “This has so much power that there is nothing we can do to stop it.”

“What’s the reaction?”

“Of course it’s intense. We are checking in real time, but public opinion is quite unfavorable right now. “Criticism is pouring in our direction.”

The managing director immediately took out a clear example and showed it.

[If the situation continues like this, Woo Ho-young will be satisfied with the naturalization conditions set forth by Bin Hammam. In other words, you can leave Korea and naturalize as another nationality (Spanish) that your family (from parents to grandparents) has.

So what are the chances that Woo Ho-young will choose naturalization? Woo Ho-young, who retired from the national team just a few days ago after accusing the Korea Football Association and FIFA Vice President Chung Hyun-sung, is likely to leave Korea.

└Even if it were me, I would leave ㅡㅡ I’m so sick of it. How can soccer continue in Korea

? └What has our country really done for us?

└This is all because of the Korea Football Association

└This is all because of the Korea Football Association 22

└This is all because of the Korea Football Association 333

Numerous netizens were strongly criticizing the Korea Football Association.

If Woo Ho-young chooses naturalization rather than retirement, that will be the end of it.

Since Hoyoung had already announced his retirement, people’s anxiety was rapidly increasing.

If you were tired of playing for the Korean national team and thinking about retirement, it was obvious that you would also think about naturalization.

“So, was the announcement of retirement part of a preliminary work? To amplify the sense of discomfort?”

“I can only think so.”

“Oh my gosh.”

Jeong Hyeon-gyu felt like he had been stabbed in the back.

Isn’t this a complete play on a young boy who didn’t even have blood on his head?

Of course, I knew that Woo Ho-young was exceptional in areas such as prediction and judgment, but I never dreamed that he would take such a bold action against such corrupt politicians.

“He is not alone. “I’m sure Mansour is helping him fully.”

“I agree. “They must have been one gang to begin with.”

“So what should we do now? “You can’t remain silent forever.”

“That’s…”

“Shouldn’t this happen and beg for it right now? “If we somehow appease and appease him and send him to the next World Cup, he will be eliminated from the naturalization requirements.”

Actually, that was the most ideal way.

How to take back control with the least amount of criticism.

“But the trust has been too broken for Woo Ho-young to obediently follow that…”

Woo Ho-young is not an easy opponent.

I don’t know how many times I’ve already been caught looking at something funny.

Moreover, he was not alone.

Mansour.

He would provide the best solution for Woo Ho-young, whom he loved the most.

“What they want is an official apology. “They will tell us to honestly admit the lies we have been telling.”

That too was a problem.

I couldn’t even imagine how much criticism I would receive.

Trust in the Korea Football Association, which has already hit rock bottom, may have disappeared altogether.

A dilemma.

The most dangerous moment in the history of the Korea Football Association has arrived.

If we fail to catch Woo Ho-young like this, we will be branded as an incompetent executive.

Of course, this will also calm down over time.

All we have to do is cover it up internally using various tricks like we have done so far.

But this was a problem that could not be compared to retirement.

If Woo Ho-young becomes a naturalized citizen of Spain, wouldn’t we have to watch his activities for at least 10 years?

Also, playing in Spain’s uniform rather than Korea’s.

And then, if we ever face Korea…

‘That’s terrible.’

So now a decision had to be made.

It was at that moment that the managing director spoke out.

“President. “Now is the time to make a cool-headed judgment and push forward rather strongly.”

“Tell me in detail.”

“If Woo Ho-young says he wants to be naturalized, they will kill him through the media. “They are framing him as a traitor who betrayed his country because of his personal performance.”

“Hmm…”

They thought it was best.

The article came out the next day and was posted on various portal sites.

[Will Woo Ho-young abandon the Red Devils and wear the Spanish uniform? Woo Ho-young currently stands at a crossroads between personal greed and patriotism. Whether he will turn his back on his country for personal achievement is emerging as the biggest issue. Real-time reactions from netizens are pouring in that do not view Woo Ho-young’s naturalization favorably, such as “That’s not right” and “No matter what, you’re not abandoning the country that raised you.”] └Huh

? What article did I just see?

└Reporter, did you take money from the National Livestock Cooperative?

└That damn patriotism is to die for. Did you always make them feel patriotic? Look how they treat you like a slave after the World Cup is over. I didn’t like how they were being overworked during the World Cup. It worked out better. Naturalize.

└Of course, it’s not that I don’t understand, but I still wish they didn’t become naturalized… Then what will they think of national soccer now? Instead, it

only faced a backlash, and public opinion, which had already been overturned once, was not easily changed.

Although Koreans were unfamiliar with the naturalization culture, half of them said they would support Hoyoung’s choice.

The other half were of the opinion that they did not want Hoyoung to be naturalized.

And the percentage of people criticizing Hoyoung was very small.

It didn’t end there.

[〈Reporter Hwang Tae-seok〉 Are Woo Ho-young’s naturalization and retirement issues really something to be criticized? The most important thing for a soccer player, no matter what color uniform he wears, is an environment where he can focus on soccer. However, blindly criticizing their choices is nothing but violence disguised as patriotism.]

A few days later, public opinion completely tilted towards Woo Ho-young.

In the end, Jeong Hyun-seong and Jeong Hyeon-gyu had no choice but to make a decision.

“Woo Ho-young continues to give off nuances related to naturalization. He said something like that in an interview with Marca last week. “You can become naturalized.”

The two became more and more desperate as time went by.

I didn’t know that there would be large-scale protests soon.

Sure enough, the area around the headquarters was already occupied by protesters.

So what they chose was a phone call with Woo Ho-young.

This was the best because he wouldn’t meet me even if I asked him to.

“Please understand that I want to talk to you on the phone like this.”

If I could change Hoyoung’s mind even by kneeling, I could have done it a hundred times.

“I’m really sorry. “I want to sincerely apologize.”

-Are you admitting the wrongdoings you have made to me so far?

“I’m sorry. “We were greedy.”

Chairman Jeong Hyun-gyu was speaking in a sorrowful voice.

Of course, I didn’t mean it.

I just hoped that all of this would pass quickly.

“So you forgive me everything now?”

-Forgiveness is not just for me.

“then? “Who are you talking about again?”

-You should also do this to the people you deceived.

“We’ll take care of it, so come back quickly. “If you come back, everything will be resolved.”

-I never said I would go back.

“…?”

-My answer ends here.

“Now wait a minute. “You don’t really want to be naturalized.”

-Whether you want it or not is none of your business.

“What what?!”

The call ended there.

And soon after, a follow-up article appeared.

[〈Breaking News〉 The phone call transcript between Woo Ho-young and Vice Chairman Chung Hyun-gyu has been released… Will the full story of the incident finally be revealed?]

[Woo Ho-young “I plan to naturalize. Unless the Korea Football Association changes, I don’t want to play soccer in a place like that while being treated like expendable items. The reason I did this wasn’t because I wanted to be a hero. To be honest, our country’s soccer has many problems. I hope that this incident will lead to some improvement. I also feel sorry to the people. “I would like to personally apologize in an official setting for causing controversy.”]

[Protests calling for reform of the Korea Football Association break out… This morning, about 20,000 soccer fans held a large-scale protest in front of the Korea Football Association Soccer Center on Sinmun-ro. took place That number is expected to increase in the future.]

[Chairman Chung Hyun-gyu, unable to withstand the pressure, eventually voluntarily resigns]

Now all that was left was Chairman Chung Hyun-sung.

Now that things were like this, there was only one way for him to survive.

The Bin Hammam collapsed after Blatter was found not guilty in the corruption case.

But that didn’t seem possible at all.

[Suspicion has been raised that Chairman Blatter received $100 million worth of bribes from LSI Sports Marketing Company and was guaranteed highly profitable TV broadcasting rights and marketing rights… FBI and Federal Police are investigating]

Far from being covered up, additional corruption cases are being reported one after another. As it was discovered, the situation became increasingly unfavorable.

A literal hotbed of corruption.

There was no end to the waves and waves.

Eventually, Chairman Blatter could not bear it and resigned voluntarily.

It was the moment when the long-term rule that had lasted for 13 years collapsed.

July 1st.

The 9th presidential election began at FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.

The election ended with a landslide victory for Muhammad bin Hamman, who caught Blatter’s corruption.

“I would like to thank you all for believing in me and supporting me. “I will carry out all of the strategies I have set out, and the naturalization policy reform, which was my core strategy, will be implemented first.”

After those winning remarks, a reporter asked a question.

This was the question everyone was most curious about.

“Where did you get the information about former Chairman Blatter’s corruption?”

“You mean that? Don’t be surprised. “The whole incident originated from the 3rd and 4th place match at the World Cup in South Africa.”

“If it’s a 3rd or 4th place match… “Isn’t it a match between Korea and Switzerland?”

“you’re right.”

Starting with those words, FIFA President Muhammad bin Hamman told an interesting story.

And at that time, Manchester Airport, England.

Eight senior officials dispatched from the Royal Spanish Football Association (Real Federacion Espanola de Futbol) entered the country in a solemn manner.

The destination was Woo Ho-young’s house.
