Romantic on the Field

19.

Since Jamie’s wedding, Stoke City have played three league matches.

[Jamie, it’s a long way. do you hit ]

[Gooool! Enter. Jamie Lee scores a wonder goal from 30 meters away! ]

[No one can stop him. ]

Against Sheffield Wednesday, 1-0 win.

[ Lee, this is Lee again. ]

[Oh, no. This time it’s Brian. ]

[ Brian, hesitantly… ]

[ Huh? I’m in! Brian scores a great goal! ]

1-0 win over Shrewsbury.

[Stoke City dragged into the second half following the first half]

[I rarely get a chance. ]

[Ah, Director Charlie. In the end, Lee is put in. ]

[15 minutes left until the end of the match. Will Lee save the team? ]

And before Bolton.

Jamie was put in when the score was 0-1 until the 30th minute of the second half.

[Lee, look at the side. ]

[ Are you thinking of using Brian? ]

[Oh, no. You’re falling off the left side. ]

As Jamie trained last time, he fell to the side, and in response, Brian moved to the center.

“It’s the center!”

“Don’t follow me! Stay seated!”

As if monitoring the match against QPR, the Bolton defenders did not follow Jamie.

‘Honey.’

Jamie dribbled into the penalty box as if he had been waiting.

‘uh?’

Right in front of the penalty box is Brian, who is a good shooter, and Jamie and Robin are inside.

The Bolton defenders fell into momentary confusion, and Jamie didn’t miss it and continued shooting right away.

“eee-YAA!”

[Gooooool! ]

[ Entered! Accurate shooting aimed at the other side of the post! The goalkeeper couldn’t help but watch! ]

It was Jamie who scored the goal as soon as he entered. But he didn’t stop there.

“It’s Jamie.”

“Lee, Lida! Stop Lee!”

As before, the situation where he enters the penalty box from the side.

Bolton defenders quickly attached to him.

Took.

Jamie passed it straight away to Brian, who passed it back to Robin.

“eee-YEA!”

[Gooool! This time it’s Robin! ]

[Stoke City, gearco strikes a reverse goal! ]

[This is Robin Price’s third league goal! ]

The game ends just like that.

“Three wins in a row!”

Robin raised both arms and cheered.

‘It’s good.’

Jamie looked at him and smiled slightly.

He too was happy.

With today’s victory, we can aim to advance to the top 10 in the league. Moreover, there is not much difference in points from 5th place, which secures the right to advance to the playoffs.

If we did well, we could have risen to the top within the first half.

“lee. Get ready.”

As he was about to enter the locker room, Coach Nick Powell grabbed him.

“A press conference after the game, the coach said he will attend with you.”

“···Yes.”

It’s annoying. Jamie muttered to himself, but he couldn’t help it.

After a while······.

“This is Golcum’s Tom McKee. First of all, congratulations on winning the league three times in a row.”

“thank you.”

“I understand that Leicester City recently made a formal transfer offer to Lee. I would like to hear what the club’s position is on this.”

No, you said this from the first question? Jamie almost burst out laughing.

“Don’t you ask questions about today’s match?”

Director Charlie asked the reporter as if he had a similar idea, as if he was dumbfounded. At this, some people let out a low laugh.

“Well, since I got a question, I have to answer it. Naturally, the club wants to keep Lee. Oh, correct me. At least I want to keep Lee.”

Director Charlie glanced at Jamie, who was sitting next to him.

“But above all else, Lee’s will is the most important. I hate complicated things. Both the club’s position and my position as a manager are important, but I think it’s right to send Lee if he wants it.”

Oh. I’m too handsome In the end, Jamie couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the words of director Charlie.

“Well, then what do you think of Lee?”

Reporter Tom McKee, who asked the question, stuttered slightly as if embarrassed.

“Mmm.”

Jamie pulled the microphone and thought for a moment.

How can I say I couldn’t help but worry.

English professional football is a market where astronomical amounts come and go. It is said that the player’s intention is the most important, but it is impossible to present only one’s own opinion.

“I like Stoke City.”

Jamie was so lucky for once.

“My father-in-law is the owner of the team, and my wife also works as a scout here. Apart from that, I am from the youth of this team and I love the passionate supporters at Stoke City.”

He omitted the story that his father also played for Stoke City. I didn’t think there was any need to say that.

“But, I am a pro. someone said The most important thing for a pro is money. If Leicester City offers a huge amount to turn my mind around, I think I can consider it. However, if the amount is ambiguous, I will stay in Stoke City unconditionally. I have to exceed the standards I set.”

“That, how much… Oh, sorry. This is James Duarden of British Sports. May I know the standard Lee set?”

Read from noble mtl dot com

Leicester City only put in an official offer, but several clubs in the Premier League must be aiming for him.

But in this situation, does the person directly set the standard? It could become a snowball for England, and possibly the entire European football world. As a journalist, it is an issue that cannot be overlooked.

“One million.”

“···Yes?”

“A £1 million a week is the standard.”

1 million pounds. In Korean currency, it is about 1.5 billion won.

“…”

At that amount, which is unreasonable for a third-division leaguer to say, the hall was enveloped in silence in an instant.

“Ha ha, ha ha ha.”

It was Director Charlie who broke the silence.

“Ha ha ha ha ha. It’s neatly organized. I will take the next question.”

Director Charlie then looked around the crowd and said.

“…”

However, in shock, no one raised a hand.

“Baby, why did you do that…”

“yes?”

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Newlyweds’ house located on Fairbank Avenue.

“Look at this.”

Hanna sighed and showed her cell phone.

[‘Phantasy Star’ Jamie Requests £1 Million Weekly Wage]

b [ “I am a noble body, don’t even dream of being under a million pounds.” ]

“Even the things he didn’t say are being reported. oh my god.”

“Uh ha ha.”

Contrary to Hannah’s serious reaction, Jamie burst into laughter.

“Smile? Are you laughing now?”

“Why, did you say what I wanted to say? ha ha ha.”

Hannah shook her head.

“Hannah, how are people reacting?”

“People, who?”

“That, why? Reddit? what was it The community I showed you last time.”

It was Reddit.

Of course he knew, as he had checked on his way home just now, but Jamie pretended not to know.

“Reddit? Well. I haven’t checked yet.”

“See you now.”

“I feel uneasy.”

Hannah furrowed her eyebrows. However, when Jamie looked at him with his eyes shining, he logged on to Reddit as if he couldn’t help it.

[Lee is Korean. But why did you say the wrong number? Aren’t all Koreans smart? ]

b [ What does that mean? ]

ㄴ [I wonder if you said 100 pounds incorrectly, not 1 million pounds. 1 million pounds for a third division leaguer. That’s ridiculous. ]

ㄴ [That’s because I’m only half Korean. Half of him is a stupid Englishman. ]

It wasn’t good from the first post.

“These guys are funny, after all.”

“Not funny at all.”

[ Foxes (Leicester City’s nickname) Why are they so burning? Of course it’s a joke. Lee is a very loyal player. He just turned down Leicester’s offer. ]

ㄴ [Looking at making pottery, it seems that his brain has also become pottery. Even if it’s a joke, it’s a problem for a third division leaguer or something to talk about £1 million. ]

ㄴ [I don’t know about anything else, but it seems clear that Lee is stupid. Don’t you think you’re tied to Stoke, which is stuck in the 3rd tier with useless words? Leicester City, where you can play in the Premier League, is much better. ]

ㄴ [Stoke is the team that supported Lee when he was struggling. And Lee is to keep that loyalty. If it’s unfair, you shouldn’t have invested in advance then. stupid foxes. ]

B [That’s right. Lee was only jokingly expressing his loyalty. No matter how hard you try, you get nothing. ]

Fortunately, Stoke City fans were responding well.

[I’m a Manchester City fan, so you mean Lee will come for £1m? Wouldn’t Mansour give that much? ]

ㄴ [I’m also a Manchester City fan, but £1 million seems too much for a third division leaguer. I’m against ]

B [That’s right. It’s not Messi, it’s a million pounds. That’s an unbelievable amount. ]

ㄴ [That’s because you couldn’t watch Lee’s game. He’s been a different class since he was in Germany. He made the other Germans look like children. ]

ㄴ [Isn’t that just because Germans can’t play soccer? ]

Fans of other teams, not Stoke and Leicester fans, also showed considerable interest in this issue.

“that’s interesting.”

“yes?”

“It’s kind of hard to say this with my own mouth, but Stoke City are in the third division anyway. But I think it is surprising that the fans of the Premier League team are also interested in him.”

“hahahaha. That’s right, because I’m a Wallcle.”

“…”

Hannah shook her head again.

Whoops.

Then, somewhere, I heard a cell phone vibrate.

It wasn’t Hannah’s cell phone, who was looking at the screen together.

“It’s yours. Check it.”

Jamie took his cell phone out of his pocket.

[ Father-in-law ]

“yes? Are you Dad?”

“I think you saw the press conference.”

I didn’t expect this. Jamie looked at Hannah and the cell phone screen with a tense expression, then answered the phone.

[ Jamie. Is that true? ]

As soon as I answered the phone, my father-in-law asked a question.

“Are you talking about the press conference?”

[ yes! That I’d go to Leicester City for a million pounds a week! So, can we offer a million pounds to capture you? I’ll tell the front desk right away. Prepare a million pounds, no, two million pounds! ]

Jamie looked at Hannah.

She was still furrowing her eyebrows.

“…That’s a joke. Father-in-law.”

[ hahahaha. I’m kidding too. ]

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

[ Ha ha ha ha ha. I called to say hello. Let’s have a meal together next time. Before that, let me talk to the front desk about your extra bonus. Even if it’s not up to 1 million pounds, shouldn’t you take care of something more? ]

“I’m fine, father-in-law.”

[I’m not okay. Well, anyway, see you next time. ]

“all right.”

Jamie burst out laughing and hung up the phone.

“…”

And beyond frowning her eyebrows, she looked at Hannah, who was making an expression full of disgust.

“···Why.”

“Oh, I don’t know. The fact that you and your dad get along so well, for some reason, is pissing me off.”

“hahahaha.”

“Do not laugh!”

“ha ha ha.”

Jamie continued to laugh.

“mango.”

“···yes?”

I stopped laughing.

“I want to eat a mango.”

“···suddenly?”

Suddenly, mango.

Jamie checked the time.

Fortunately, it was still the mart opening hours.

“You know if you can’t eat what you want to eat when you’re pregnant, it’s going to last forever, right?”

“······know.”

“Then let’s go shopping. Go with me instead.”

“Nope. I will go alone.”

“I hate it! go with me.”

Hannah groaned, putting her arms around her neck.

I can’t help it. Jamie let out a big laugh, and got off the bed with her in his arms.

“Wow. I’m scared.”

“Let’s go to the mart like this.”

“I hate it. What if someone sees it and writes an article?”

“How about inside? uh? My husband and I are so happy. Why don’t you brag?”

Hannah furrowed her eyebrows again. However, judging from the twitching of the corners of his mouth, it didn’t seem like he hated it.

“Get it down quickly! Let’s buy it right away.”

“Let’s go like this.”

“Ah, I was wrong. please.”

Jamie kissed her and put her down.

‘This is a happy newlywed life.’

I think so in my mind.

**

It’s been days since Leicester City’s offer and Jamie’s press conference created a lot of buzz.

Coincidentally, Stoke City faced Leicester City in a League Cup match.

“Now, today’s starting lineup.”

Occasionally, coaches remove players who are plagued by transfer rumors from the starting list.

It is to prevent the player’s mentality from being hindered by going up and down in people’s rooms for no reason, regardless of whether or not they believe in the player.

Isn’t it even Leicester City, the opponent of the transfer rumor? He could have played an outstanding role and made his intention to recruit him firm. In fact, Manchester United had recruited Cristiano Ronaldo earlier than planned when he played an outstanding performance.

So, many pundits expected Jamie to start on the bench in today’s game. No, beyond starting on the bench, I even considered being excluded from the list altogether.

But······.

“Lee, today is the selection.”

Director Charlie was a real man.

“Show yourself if you are a player worth £1m.”

A real man among men.

‘great.’

Jamie liked that.

“Oh, by the way, I think Oscar Turner will also appear.”

“…Who are you?”

“Jamie Bodie’s heir or something. The media has already published an article comparing you to him.”

Going further, even stimulating the desire to compete more actively.

“Are you confident, Lee?”

Of course, Jamie was confident.

“Yes.”

Although I didn’t know who it was.
