Laughter
I think we can safely say that we have a better team than Qinghai Oulu Institute.
This match wasn’t even close. It took us 22 minutes to score the first goal. By the time the dust had cleared, we had 10 goals to our credit against 0 by Qinghai.
Han Jin scored four, and young North Korean striker Kim Kuk-Jin had 3 as well.
We scored 3 of our goals on penalties, proving that Qinghai couldn’t touch us even if they tried to break the rules.
I’m seriously starting to wonder why we can’t just be promoted now and be done with it. We’ve now got 42 goals in 8 matches in the league, and are comfortably in first place despite having a game in hand over most of the other teams.
Han Jin
Well, after his surprise hat trick, I think it’s time to introduce you to Han Jin.
Like Fan Xiang, Han Jin is one of those players that I normally wouldn’t want to start. The coaches have reminded me that he doesn’t like to play in big matches, which isn’t going to work for our club in the long run. We’re a big match club, and we’re going to play in a lot of big matches in the future, and anybody who doesn’t like it is going to have to leave.
Mr. Han is 28 years old, a native of Yanji, and from a local ethnic Korean family. He is also an extremely professional player, always dressing nice, always showing up early to every event, and always courteous and respectful to everybody he speaks with.
The Koreans traditionally refer to themselves with phrases such as “동방예의지국” (東方禮儀之國 in 한자), which I translate loosely as “The country of courteous people in the East.” I don’t know if that counts for all Koreans in general, and it certainly doesn’t apply to the political leaders in North Korea. However, when it comes to Han Jin, this is absolutely the case. He’s as courteous and polite as they come, and is an absolute joy to be around.
Which means that Charlotte wants nothing to do with him, of course. He’s just not as handsome as Lee Jin-Yong, I’m afraid.
Anyway, Han Jin is an excellent leader for our team. When placed together with Fan Xiang and Ye Jie, Han Jin helps to form our own version of Les Trois Mousquetaires (The Three Musketeers). I just hope it will be enough to keep the egos in this squad at bay.
Jingchuan County
We might as well stay in the west. We’re playing in Gansu Province this time against Jingchuan County, a team located in the city of Dingxi.
I’ll be frank with you. I speak Chinese fluently, have lived in the country for several years, and consider myself knowledgeable in Chinese cultural and historical matters. And even I’ve never heard of Dingxi.
They expect us to pound the living daylights out of Jingchuan, and I think we’ll do that regardless of who we put out on the pitch.
