Diemoney (1)
How is the public opinion?
President. It’s a great success. The people’s satisfaction can’t be better than this. This is even better than when we reached the World Cup quarterfinals.
Haha, having a coach like Diena. What luck. Ha-neul is really a lucky guy. His skills and thanks to him, a coach like Diena came to Korea.
Yes. It’s really a luck for Korean football.
Cheon Yu-kyung smiled brightly at the secretary’s words.
Actually, Cheon Yu-kyung wasn’t particularly involved with football. She just enjoyed the World Cup like everyone else?
But regardless of Cheon Yu-kyung, the place that gave 80% of the Korean Football Association’s budget was the Cheon family conglomerate, AT Group, to which she belonged. Since the most important thing in the organization was the money line, the AT Group had been steadily recommending people to the football association and producing presidents for the association.
But when she first took the position of president, Cheon Yu-kyung’s mood wasn’t good.
In the group, the president’s bloodline taking the football association president’s position was basically like being fired, so when she was pushed to become the president of the football association, she could only think that her mother was throwing her away.
But who would have known that the president position was a jackpot.
After Cheon Yu-kyung took the president position, a few years later, South Korea succeeded in reaching the World Cup quarterfinals, and with the addition of a world-class coach named Diena, her visibility had surpassed all the bloodlines.
And with the public opinion that ‘President Cheon Yu-kyung is doing a good job’, there was no backing…
‘If we do well in this Asian Cup and the next World Cup, perhaps my mother will call me back.’
It wasn’t unreasonable for Cheon Yu-kyung to dream of returning to the front lines.
And she knew well that her own rise was thanks to the boy named Ryu Ha-neul. Not only his football skills, but also his connections that allowed him to recruit Diena as coach.
Later, when Ha-neul returns to Korea, let’s arrange a few ads. For the expensive ones.
Yes, understood. I’ll tell the headquarters.
Haha, it’s really good.
Cheon Yu-kyung smiled kindly at the secretary and waved her hand to leave, then looked back at the computer screen.
The computer screen showed a sports article’s overseas football section that she had never seen in her life before this moment.
- Ryu Ha-neul, 1 assist, 4:0 victory!
…… Barcelona renewed their unbeaten streak by winning in the 12th round of the Spanish La Liga. Barcelona had drawn with Sevilla in the 9th round, but then won the next 3 matches… Meanwhile, Barcelona has 11 wins and 1 draw in the league and 2 wins and 1 draw in the Champions League, continuing their unbeaten streak this season…
Since it’s Korea, even with 1 assist, the article emphasizes the Korean player Ryu Ha-neul.
Um, um. As expected, he plays football well. Football is really Spain, right?
Cheon Yu-kyung nodded in satisfaction, looking at the article where Ryu Ha-neul was emphasized to her taste.
After looking at several overseas football articles with the sound of drr drr, another article caught her eye.
- Kang Yu-ri, 1 goal 1 assist performance!
…… Deportivo recorded a 2:2 draw thanks to Kang Yu-ri’s performance…
Kang Yu-ri, Kang Yu-ri…. Let me check. I think I’ve heard the name somewhere? It didn’t seem to be on the list.
It was an article about Yu-ri’s name. Cheon Yu-kyung, feeling like she had heard the name Kang Yu-ri somewhere, pressed the keyboard one letter at a time to search for Kang Yu-ri’s name.
Kang Yu-ri…. Oh, this friend is the daughter of the player Kang Yeon-hee? She was great in 2002. Let me see….
And as soon as she learned about Yu-ri, a thought sprang up in Cheon Yu-kyung.
Ah, she’s a friend of Ha-neul. Hmm…. The childhood friends are playing in the national team and performing well? Nice picture? Hmm, shall I mention it to Coach Diena?
The performance of the two, Ryu Ha-neul and his friend Kang Yu-ri, who have been close since childhood and are children of 2002 heroes, seemed like a quite nice picture.
Beep.
President, may I come in?
Haha, not yet.
Ah, sorry. President.
Yes. Kim, Secretary. Please call Diena.
Coach Diena? Understood.
After killing time like that, Diena knocked on the president’s office door.
Ah, Coach! You’re here.
Hello. How are you?
Even though she greeted in English, Diena greeted in Korean, and Cheon Yu-kyung thought again that she had picked Diena well.
‘Really, a friend who is polite unlike Westerners.’
First, let’s do a round and talk, Coach.
Cheon Yu-kyung nodded with a satisfied expression and opened her mouth. Since the two could speak English, communication wasn’t a big problem between them.
Ah, good.
And what she liked even more was that she could play golf. With equal skill.
She did well for her superiors, knew how to play golf, and after that, when drinking, she was fun like a Westerner. And as a coach, she was top class.
She wanted to raise her salary immediately.
Coach, let me tell you. I saw a friend named Yu-ri, what do you think?
Ah! Yu-ri! Good. I was watching too.
Is that so? Haha, she seems to fit well in the national team too.
Yes. Haha, President really has an eye for football. There’s a reason Korean football is doing well.
Ahahaha, is it that much? Well, I’ve heard that kind of talk often.
In the car to the golf course, Cheon Yu-kyung told her thoughts, and Diena laughed and agreed, like they were soul partners.
After finishing the simple talk, they got to the main topic.
Ah, how much should we bet? Shall we bet lightly 10 million?
Haha, then I have to try hard? It’s a bit of a burden though….
Ah, I’ll shoot the second one today.
Then of course call. Hahaha. The guys over there were fine then….
Don’t worry. I’ll tell my side.
Cheon Yu-kyung, who was in high spirits from Diena’s flattery, showed her broad-mindedness for the first time in a long time,
‘10 million? Then I’ll win today and take it. Plus the guys. Having such a good job. Really, Korea is heaven.’
Diena smiled slyly inside while listening to Cheon Yu-kyung’s words. But even if she smiled slyly inside, it was true that Korea was like heaven.
First of all, the salary she received was enormous, and here, when walking the streets, fans requesting autographs came, and places where you enter the store and get free food. It was almost like feeling like a superstar?
Moreover, the nagging husband wasn’t thinking of coming to this place from Spain, and the president here was different from Barcelona’s president in that she had a big allowance and was foolish. After losing a few times, she believed she played golf better, and even if you scratch a little itchy spot, she would spend money like that.
In addition, work is just going to watch a few football matches occasionally and leaving it to the coaches.
The place where the work-life balance was perfectly set, which would be unimaginable during her Barcelona days, was this place, Korea.
To enjoy all this, it’s just flattering a few times and saying in the interview that she loves Korea!
‘There was such a heaven…. I don’t want to leave at all.’
Diena wanted to live in Korea her whole life.
Ah, I lost today.
Haha, you were lucky.
The best thing about life in Korea was being able to spend a night with countless men after golf.
Then shall we wash up and go?
Yes, President.
Just as Diena was enjoying life in Korea, a woman jumped out from the golf course.
President! Coach! Big trouble! Big trouble.
Hahaha, Kim Secretary. Is it something that Coach Diena shouldn’t hear?
No, it’s related to the football association.
Then speak in English.
Ah, understood.
Diena’s face hardened for a moment at the serious expression of Kim Secretary. And then the words Kim Secretary put out were enough to make that face even more distorted.
From the United Arab Emirates, they sent a notice that they will not allow Ryu Ha-neul’s participation!
The words coming out of Kim Secretary’s mouth were shocking content that they would not allow Ryu Ha-neul’s participation at the host of the Asian Cup.
‘These crazy religious fanatics…!’
Diena recalled the nightmare of being chased out of Barcelona by those words. Even if her tactics were to leave everything to Ha-neul, there was nothing to say. But if Ha-neul is gone? Then she wouldn’t be fired from the coaching position, but there would definitely be a crack in this comfortable life.
At least the work would be more demanding. And there would be no such good public opinion as now. Diena didn’t want to lose the 50 million fans who overwhelmingly supported her.
Especially, the number of young male fans sending secret DMs was something she didn’t want to think about.
Eh? What? Coach, what do we do about this?
First, officially protest to FIFA. Just trust me, President. Such things will never happen.
Huh…. First, let’s contact Barcelona. Maria, Maria will definitely help. And if such a precedent is set, Ha-neul won’t be able to go to the World Cup, so Barcelona won’t like it…. Contacting Maria or the president is a bit reluctant, but in this case, Maria won’t be able to back out.
With that, Diena made up her mind to do everything for her comfortable life in Korea.
