Romantic on the Field

14.

[The romanticist on the field, who received Jamie Lee’s heart? ]

ㄴ [Stoke City’s new scout, Hannah Choi. ]

ㄴ [The bride-to-be before the wedding turned out to be the only daughter of the owner Choi.]

Against Oxford United, Jamie scored twice.

However, rather than his performance, Celebration, which sent ‘K-Heart’ to Hannah, became a hot topic.

“Do I really have to keep doing that?”

“Why, don’t you like it? Shall we not?”

Jamie looked into Hannah’s eyes and asked cautiously.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No matter how much it becomes a hot topic, it is right not to do it if Haena, the person in charge, does not like it. In the end, what matters is the intention of the parties. Why, isn’t a public confession considered a ‘public execution’ from a woman’s point of view?

“no. It’s not that I hate it…”

Hanna murmured, avoiding Jamie’s gaze.

I wonder if he really didn’t like it, so Jamie went beyond paying attention and pushed his face openly.

“What the heck, let’s go!”

A smile hung on her lips.

“Why are you laughing. uh? Then continue?”

Jamie attacked Hannah in the side, and eventually Hannah burst out laughing and told her to do as she pleased.

“ah. I don’t think I can go to the Cambridge United game.”

After a while, Hannah said as if she had just remembered.

“yes?”

“I’ve talked to the doctor, and he says that the spectators’ seats at a football stadium can be a bit dangerous, if it’s just a ‘place with a lot of people’.”

This match against Cambridge United was an away game, not a home game.

If it was home, you could watch the game in the power analysis room like last time, but away was different.

“They even prepare seats for the staff. Didn’t you go there?”

“It’s also outdoors anyway.”

Originally, I wondered if pregnancy had so many restrictions, but Jamie didn’t say much.

If not now, in the past life, Hannah had been in very poor health since the beginning of her pregnancy. There was nothing wrong with being careful.

“Just watch it comfortably at home. TV is big too.”

“Hey.”

“What is a hiing?”

Even as he said that, Jamie stroked her hair as if to comfort Hannah, who felt sorry for her.

“I just come to see the home games. Don’t be too sorry.”

“…but then you can’t do the ceremony.”

“uh?”

However, Hannah’s words widened her eyes slightly.

“A ceremony? Goal Celebration?”

“···yes.”

“What? Are you sad that you can’t do it?”

“No, it’s not that I’m sad…”

Jamie burst into laughter again.

“Why are you laughing all the time!”

“hahahaha. Do not worry about it. Because there is a way to do it all.”

“Way?”

Hannah asked again, and Jamie looked at the TV screen, which was turned off, instead of answering.

**

Of course, the third division also broadcasts.

“Sam, how are you today?”

“What.”

The UK’s largest football broadcasting channel ‘Skysport’ also broadcast, but Sam Glucas mainly took care of the championship and league one.

“What is it? It’s Stoke today.”

Tommy, the caster, tapped him on the shoulder.

Sam Glucas is a former player-turned commentator.

During his active career, he was a typical ‘Journeyman – a player who moves between different teams’.

He played for various teams including Mansfield Town, Chesterfield, Hull City and Swansea City. There were a total of nine teams he went through, but only three of them stayed for more than two years.

Those three places were Hereford United, Hull City and Stoke City.

“The only team to stay for more than four years.”

And Stoke City, as Tommy said, was the only team to stay for more than four years.

“doesn’t care. It’s not a team I’m very fond of.”

“what. When Lee scored a goal in the last game, he screamed until he fainted?”

“…I did it on purpose for the tension of the broadcast.”

At Sam’s reply, Tommy smiled and shook his head. It was because I knew that even if I said that, my affection for Stoke City was extraordinary.

“Is Lee going to play in the third line again today?”

“Caster doesn’t even know that? You keep coming out in the third line these days.”

“sorry. I have no interest in Stoke City.”

Tommy kept scratching Sam’s temper, and Sam kept ignoring him.

“do. Concentrate.”

“Yes.”

The two put on their headsets and immediately went into relay mode.

[Hello Skysport viewers. The weather is nice today. Caster Tommy Walker. Hello Sam. ]

[ Nice to meet you. This is Sam Glucas. ]

[ Cambridge United take on Stoke City at the Abbey Stadium. Sam, how are you feeling? ]

[ Same as usual. ]

[Even though you played for Stoke City for over 4 years? ]

[ ha ha ha. Not really that important. ]

Sam smiled and glared at Tommy.

[ First, let me introduce the lineup of the home team, Cambridge United. ]

Of course, Tommy didn’t even look at him. As usual, he calmly introduced the position and player name.

[Kion Walcott is worth noting at Cambridge United, right? ]

[ That’s right. He doesn’t score a lot of goals, but he’s a dangerous player every game. ]

The camera shows Kion Walcott warming up.

[Next is the away team Stoke City. ]

Tommy listed the names of the Stoke players in the same plain tone he used to introduce the Cambridge players.

[Also, Stoke City deserves attention for Jamie Lee, right? ]

However, immediately after the introduction, he looked at Sam with a playful face.

‘Your favorite Jamie Lee. Right?’

as if to say

[ ···Yes. This is the player who currently records the most attack points in Stoke City. ]

[What’s the secret? ]

Same this time.

With a mischievous face, he asked one question at a time.

‘Did this bastard turn? Of course it’s because I’m good at soccer.’

Sam almost cried for a moment, but managed to calm himself down.

[There are still questions about the physical aspect and aerial competition, but it can be said that he is an excellent player in all other abilities. His vision, passing, shooting and technique are all impeccable. ]

[That’s a very generous evaluation, Sam]

[Because it deserves it. ]

[ Ha ha ha ha ha. Okay. In fact, Cambridge and Stoke’s team colors are quite similar. Oh, only for this season. ]

[ you’re right. Both teams are teams that play thick football after thick defense. And…, yes. Also, there is one player that stands out. ]

Cambridge was Keon Walcott, Stoke was Jamie.

[Conversely, how well Stoke City can block Kion Walcott and how far Cambridge United can block Jamie Lee are the key to this game. ]

[ That’s right. ]

While the two introduced the two teams, the preparations were over and the kickoff approached.

[The game has started. The team attacking from left to right is away Stoke City, and the team attacking from right to left is home Cambridge United. ]

The first half of the match flowed into an exploration match. Neither team tried to attack too much, and Jamie seemed to be looking for an opportunity by spinning the ball from the back.

5 minutes, 10 minutes. Time continues to flow, and when you want the game to be boring…

[Kion Walcott]

[Tap and leave. Uh, speed it up. ]

The first to move was Cambridge.

**

At the same time, a luxury home on Fairbank Avenue in Stoke-on-Trent.

“no!”

Hannah was nervously watching the ‘SG Electronics’ TV, which was a bit excessive.

[Kion Walcott advances to the front of the penalty box! ]

Except for Kion Walcott, Cambridge was Hannah who thought they were nothing. But that Kion Walcott was a problem.

[Do you hit me? Oh, it’s a fake. Stoke’s centre-back loses his balance and goes down! ]

Kion Walcott, who broke through the final defense, fired a shot without hesitation.

[ ah! Keon Walcott’s first shot! rises high. ]

[For Stoke City, it’s fortunate. It’s completely open. ]

[ That’s right! It’s a shame for Cambridge. ]

[ Ah yes. ]

Whiyu. Hannah let out a sigh of relief.

I had a doctor’s advice, so I tried to watch the game calmly.

At first it was possible. No, it was a bit boring because it was not calm.

However, in the 15th minute of the first half, when Keone Walcott began to step forward in earnest, it was difficult to maintain composure.

Hannah was a Stoke City fan before scouting.

[ Another Kion Walcott! ]

[Ah, Lee only steals the ball neatly with a sliding tackle! ]

However, he was not alone in being stalked.

To be precise, Jamie started to step out in earnest.

“go! Jay, go!”

After getting the ball from Walcott, Jamie drove the ball alone for almost 50 meters near the half-line and into the penalty box.

[ Jamie Lee falls! ]

[Oh, the referee blows his whistle. Are you PK? ]

[ I took it! Referee, penalty kick! ]

“uh? Daebaaak! It’s also Jay!”

[Cambridge United players strongly protest. How was the situation? ]

[I need to take a look at the slow screen. ]

[ well. Doesn’t it look fine on the screen? ]

[He touched Jamie Lee’s thigh before the ball. It looks like it could be seen as a foul. ]

[ ah. After checking VAR, the referee overturns the penalty kick. It’s a pity for Stoke City. ]

[ … that’s a pity. ]

[ uh? Did you say you’re sorry now? ]

[It was a pity from the point of view of Stoke City. ]

“Ah, sorry.”

Although it did not lead to a goal, Stoke City, riding the flow, pushed Cambridge harder.

[ Jamie Lee, near the half-line. look at the side ]

Of course, Jamie was at the center of it all.

He launched attacks in various directions, regardless of left or right center. When the situation did not go well, he himself drove the ball like a bulldozer.

[ Jamie Lee, do you hit? ]

Same now.

When he didn’t get a chance, he broke through the defenses right in front of the penalty box.

[It should stick. He is a good scorer even from long distances. ]

The defender who was marking Jamie came forward to reduce the angle. However, Jamie’s choice was the opposite.

He made a pass with a subtle posture, as if he had bent his ankle. The ball rolled very slowly, like a slow screen, to the left corner.

It was Brian who got the pass.

[Ah, that’s a nice pass. ]

[ Brian, do you upload right away? Raise! Mikel, Mikel! ]

[I’m in! ]

[Gooool! Mikel! Score a goal after a long time! ]

[That’s a great goal. Jamie Lee’s base pass was great! ]

Fortunately for Stoke, they scored the opening goal before the end of the first half.

‘Mmm.’

However, while watching the game, Hanna licked her lips as if something was missing.

As the second half began, Cambridge, who conceded the opening goal, pushed Stoke back with Kion Walcott at the center.

[This is Walcott again. ]

I hate that baby. Hannah murmured softly.

[ Kion Walcott’s movements are very sharp today. ]

[ But Jamie Lee is not easy either. Didn’t it become the starting point for the opening goal in the first half? ]

[ Ari. As soon as he finished speaking, he cut off Walcott’s dribble again. ]

Of course, Jamie wasn’t standing still.

[ hahahaha. Today Jamie Lee is Kion Walcott’s nemesis! ]

[ Lee, Jamie Lee. do you go up? ]

After taking the ball from Walcott, he exchanged 2-on-1 passes with a teammate. Then, at some point, he increased the hook speed.

The Cambridge player in front of him hurriedly tried to stop it with a foul, but Jamie didn’t even allow that.

[ Shake it off again! Cambridge United can’t stop him today! ]

Jamie crosses the half line again and reaches the front of the penalty box.

As before, there is a defense in front.

Jamie pretended to pass to the left this time, but went in the opposite direction.

[I opened it. lee! ]

[ Jamie Lee, shoot as it is! ]

[Gooool! Enter! Lee, who uses both feet freely, scores with his left foot this time! ]

“It went in aaa!”

Hannah, who was sitting on the sofa, jumped up from her seat.

[Gooooool! Goal! ]

[Lee solved it herself this time. ]

[Wah ha ha ha. What a great goal! lee! Save Stoke again! ]

[ hahahaha. Sam, don’t you like it? ]

“As expected, Jay!”

Both Sam, who was commentating, and Hanna, who was watching TV, all shouted excitedly.

[Lee, where are you going? ]

[Ah, it’s a camera. It’s that celebration! Ahahahaha. ]

However, as soon as Jamie was caught filling the TV screen, Hannah became quiet.

[ hahahaha. British-Korean dual nationality Lee blows Korea’s heart. ]

[ Lee’s fiancé must be watching this scene, right? ]

I was watching.

with his face dyed red.

‘No, why are the commentators saying that?’

Hannah couldn’t understand.

[A great dribble, a great fake followed by a great goal, and even a great look and celebration. Perfect. ]

[I wonder if not a few English women envy Lee’s fiancée. hahahaha. ]

“…”

At the words of the commentators who were scolded, Hannah eventually picked up the remote control and pressed the ‘mute’ button.

**

A few days later, the day before the League Cup match.

“I’m going to start the next game.”

In the words of Stoke City coach Nick Powell, there is a man whose expression darkens.

“This is your last chance, right?”

“What are you talking about, Robin? Don’t worry about anything and take care of your condition.”

“···All right.”

His name is Robin Price.

A player who has been playing for Stoke City for 10 years.

And after Jamie was recruited, he was the player who couldn’t appear in the game.
