[LIVE] Manchester United 1 : 0 Stoke City.

└ Wow, what the hell, is Stoke City being so rough today?

└ These bastards seriously need to get relegated;;

└ It’s a home game for Man U, but if it’s like this, I’m already worried about the away game against Stoke.

└ Seriously, can we not let my brother go on the away game against Stoke City?

– A rough foul by Charlie Adam on Son Jinho.

└ What the hell was that crazy bastard doing right now?

└ Has he lost his mind;;

└ Ah, hahaha, but why is this so funny? 😂

└ It’s just ridiculously funny, damn it! 😂😂😂😂

└ The audience cracking up is legendary! 😂😂😂😂😂

– The referee is approaching Charlie Adam.

└ Ah, get lost now.

└ That’s definitely a red card, right?

└ If not, then the referee is not human.

– Charlie Adam being warned by the referee.

└ Is that really a warning?

└ Is the referee’s eye just for decoration, that crazy bastard?

└ Wow, the referee is truly legendary.

└ Well, you don’t see something like that in football often! 😂

└ Isn’t that actually a scene that shouldn’t even happen?

└ That referee must have gotten paid off by Stoke City.

└ Honestly, Stoke City would probably pay less than what Man U would offer them.

└ Hmm. So is there a reverse bet on this?

* * *

Despite the threatening tackles, I endured by engraving patience in my heart several times.

Honestly, I’m not the type to be like Ronaldo and swing my fists at an opponent’s head when I’m angry.

But the moment Charlie Adam’s arm touched my neck, the patience barely holding my rationality snapped.

While sitting on the grass and chuckling,

“Boooooo─! Play rugby, you idiot!”

The angry jeers of Manchester United fans rang in my ears.

The home fans of Manchester United jeered at Charlie Adam, who was showing roughness. There seemed to be some family insults mixed in, but frankly, if you play like that, you deserve to get insulted.

Anyways, the referee, who had been unusually strict with cards this match, walked over to Charlie Adam with a serious expression.

At that moment, all eyes in Old Trafford turned to the referee.

If a red card is given here, it could quell the angry crowd.

Even if I can’t take revenge, I can put it off for a little longer, right?

‘Probably, Zlatan took revenge on Materazzi after four years, right?’

Of course, not only the Man U fans but even Stoke City fans expected Charlie Adam to get sent off.

But the referee handed a warning instead of a red card to Charlie Adam, pouring gasoline onto the angry crowd.

“Phew…”

Watching him take out the cheese, I nodded, suppressing my rising annoyance.

Yeah, I get it.

Wasn’t there a time he didn’t pull out a yellow card during the Battle of San Wang?

At this point, I can’t help but think that the British referees are intentionally slacking off to create a rough league.

But Manchester United, excluding me, couldn’t accept the referee’s decision.

“Is your eye just for decoration? Why is an unqualified ref even here?!”

“Do you think that makes sense as a warning?”

Furious at the referee’s judgment, Alex Ferguson unleashed a stream of curses from the touchline, and the captains, including Nemanja Vidić, surrounded the referee to protest vehemently.

Unable to contain his anger over the insults directed at him, the referee turned to warn Alex Ferguson. In a moment of bravado, Ferguson took a step back, terrified.

“You bastard. It’s people like you that keep the Premier League from progressing. Get the hell out of here!”

During the match, Ronaldo, who had been having a nerve battle with Charlie Adam, rushed over in an absolute rage and shoved him, prompting Stoke City and Man U players to intervene and separate the two.

I felt a sense of pride watching that scene.

‘Still, my buddy has loyalty.’

All those times I supported him really paid off…

“Son Jinho! Get up! You can’t go down with just this little injury! You have to pass to me in the next match!”

‘…You bastard.’

There was absolutely nothing.

* * *

Even after Charlie Adam collected warnings, the game continued.

Manchester United defended against Stoke City’s attack.

[Nemanja Vidić successfully blocks a ball heading towards Peter Crouch!]

The ball cleared by Nemanja Vidić fell to Rio Ferdinand.

[Rio Ferdinand! Sending a long ball into space!]

Linking up directly to the front with Rio Ferdinand.

Ferdinand’s pass aimed towards Ronaldo, who was breaking into space.

[Connected to Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Dodges and shoots!!]

Ronaldo attempted a shot as soon as he received the pass.

But Ronaldo’s shot got intercepted due to Shawcross’s foul, and Manchester United earned a free kick from a good position.

[Van Persie, Ronaldo, and Son Jinho preparing for the free kick.]

As usual, Van Persie and Ronaldo started arguing over who would take the free kick.

“Step back, Robin. It’s my turn this time.”

“Chris, I was out injured, so cut me some slack.”

If it were normal, Son Jinho would have intervened to mediate, but currently, he was too furious to concede.

While Van Persie and Ronaldo argued over the free kick possession.

Son Jinho signaled to the referee that he was ready, while the referee, pondering over the dinner menu, blew the whistle to order the free kick to be taken.

“Uh?! No! Jino!!!”

“Son Jinho, no! That free kick was mine! I have to take it! It’s mine!!”

As soon as the referee’s whistle sounded, Van Persie and Ronaldo looked at Son Jinho in shock.

In both of their eyes, Son Jinho had completed the shutdown.

[Charging out, Son Jinho! Bam!]

Son Jinho aimed directly for Charlie Adam’s face and slammed the ball.

Since the free kick was genuinely aimed at dunking Charlie Adam, the power was fully there.

Son Jinho, unknowingly smiling at having succeeded in revenge.

But contrary to Son Jinho’s expectations, Charlie Adam ducked, escaping the shot.

Son Jinho looked at Charlie Adam with an incredulous gaze.

Of course, the reason for setting up a wall is to block shooting space and prevent goals, right?

But Charlie Adam bent down and evaded the ball.

Just like Son Jinho assumed, Stoke City’s goalkeeper Asmir Begović, expecting Charlie Adam to block it with his body, failed to react as Adam avoided Son Jinho’s shot.

And Son Jinho’s shot split the net.

[……..]

And in the bizarre moment, the commentator momentarily lost his words. He quickly regained his composure and continued with the commentary.

[It went in!!! Son Jinho’s fantastic free kick goal! A shot with overwhelming power that even General Charlie Adam couldn’t stop!]

└ Hahahahahahaha

└ Crazy, the wall avoided the ball! 😂😂😂

└ Automatic door defense, what the hell! 😂😂😂😂

└ What a fresh defense method! 😂

* * *

As Manchester United started to lead by two goals, the Stoke City manager began prepping substitutions for tactical changes.

‘Ah, damn it, I need to take revenge quickly.’

Seeing this, I started to get anxious.

It was obvious to anyone that there were signs of taking Charlie Adam out.

After being tightly marked by the three musketeers, Charlie Adam was looking completely worn out.

Moreover, he was already carrying a warning.

It was a plain fact that Charlie Adam was at the top of the Stoke City substitution list.

“Chris! Robin! Press him!”

Still not satisfied with my revenge, I instructed Ronaldo and Van Persie, then pushed my tired body to move with all my might.

Strong pressure unfolding from the front.

The Stoke City players, flustered by our strong forward pressure, could only clear the ball long to the front.

The cleared ball by Shawcross aimed at Michael Carrick.

And Michael Carrick sent a long pass directly to the front.

But was it because Michael Carrick was exhausted?

His long pass was inaccurate and happened to go towards Charlie Adam.

I dashed in for a contest with Charlie Adam.

And did he feel threatened by my presence?

Charlie Adam used the referee, who was moving to avoid the ball, as a hostage.

In that unexpected moment where I hesitated to take revenge…

By chance, I made eye contact with the referee.

“NO! NO! Noooo!!!”

As if declaring that he would sacrifice himself for my revenge, the referee shook his head with a determined expression.

Touched by his sacrifice, I immediately built strength in my legs and ran towards the referee, or rather, Charlie Adam.

And as expected, Charlie Adam cowardly used the referee as a shield.

I didn’t hesitate and kicked away the shield.

I couldn’t let the referee’s willingness to sacrifice be in vain.

“Ugh!”

I heard a painful sound from below, but I ignored it and turned my head towards Charlie Adam.

Charlie Adam, having used the referee as a sacrificial lamb, looked completely unscathed.

Well, it didn’t matter. I wasn’t the only one waiting for this moment.

Ronaldo, who had been lying in wait for an opportunity, dashed forward the moment Charlie Adam exposed himself and unleashed a legendary martial arts move, swinging both fists and legs.

Charlie Adam, who got hit, went down next to the ball.

And Van Persie, who was stepped on by Charlie Adam, stepped on his head pretending it was an accident.

This was everything that happened while the referee lay on the ground struggling painfully.

Time passed, and the referee finally regained his senses and pulled out a red card at me with an angry expression.

Although I ended up getting sent off right before the match ended due to the referee’s mindset that there’s a difference when entering and exiting the bathroom, my sacrifice allowed us to complete our revenge.

I exchanged fist bumps with Ronaldo and Van Persie with a satisfied look and exited the stadium to the cheers of the crowd…

“Jino!! Get over here right now!!!”

Before I could escape, I got caught by Ferguson and tore apart.

Only then did I feel my sanity return, which had left the house.
