Romantic on the Field

39.

A few months ago, Jamie and Hannah had this conversation.

“Let’s go on our honeymoon next time. You are on season.”

“yes? Still, it makes sense to go right after the wedding.”

“Nope. Let’s go comfortably after it’s over. Would you like to hear my plan?”

Read from noble mtl dot com

Let’s go on a leisurely honeymoon after the season is over. I think Korea is good. It’s perfect if you can rest comfortably for about two weeks in your home country and give birth after returning to England.

This was Hannah’s original plan.

However, as the delivery schedule was moved forward, all plans went awry.

“Well, it’s okay.”

Fortunately, Hannah was not disappointed.

“···yes?”

“No, rather good.”

The due date for giving birth was set again in early May.

It was right after the season ended.

“Let’s give birth to our baby in Korea. I think that would be more comfortable.”

In other words, after the season was over, Hannah’s changed plan was to go to Korea for a honeymoon, childbirth, and postpartum care.

“Mmm.”

“What is the euphony? I can’t. I need to contact my aunt.”

“···aunt?”

Jamie’s eyes widened.

“You don’t know what an aunt is, do you? My mother’s sister.”

“No, I know that…”

I knew that Hannah’s mother, or mother-in-law, had died when she was very young. But it was the first time I had heard that she had a younger sister.

“wait.”

Hannah didn’t hesitate and immediately called her aunt.

“aunt! Long time no see…, yes?”

For some reason, not long after the call, her eyes widened.

“If you do, I’d be grateful… Ah yes. May 8th.”

After a while, Hannah hung up the phone and looked at her with eyes that were still wide.

“My aunt said she made reservations for everything.”

“What?”

“The obstetrics and gynecology clinic, postpartum care center, and even the hotel to stay after that, everything.”

“…Ugh?”

Jamie’s eyes widened to follow her.

**

That night, Stoke City’s owner and ‘Bet 777’ chairman Choi Long-soo received a phone call out of the blue.

[ Brother-in-law! Are you going to leave your only daughter like that? ]

“Uh, huh?”

Since he was just about to fall asleep, the oldest man was very embarrassed.

I wondered if I was dreaming, so I checked the time and the caller on the screen of my phone again.

[PM 11:45]

[ Sister-in-law ]

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Near midnight, I suddenly got a call from my sister-in-law.

When I checked again, it was the same as I recognized it.

As the oldest, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

[This is why there must be a woman in the house. uh ]

“Oh, no. Suddenly what…”

[It’s okay, I’ll take care of it, so my brother-in-law takes good care of my baby when he comes back to England. ]

“England, when you come back…?”

Coming back means leaving somewhere.

Surprised, Choi Jang-soo jumped out of bed.

“Sister-in-law, what kind of cow…”

To-to-

But the phone was already disconnected.

‘Has Hannah left England?’

Dung, Dung, Dung. My heart started beating.

To him, Hannah was the only blood relative and the reason he lived.

Jangsu Choi quickly called Hannah.

And······.

[Oh, you woke up because of Dad! ]

To-to-

Hannah also said nothing and hung up the phone.

“…our Hannah inherited a lot of genes from her mother’s side.”

The oldest muttered blankly.

**

Preparations for childbirth were progressing steadily.

The very next day, I booked an obstetrics and gynecology clinic (my aunt did it), and I booked a plane ticket for my due date (Jamie did this).

I also prepared the necessary items one by one (my aunt bought them for me).

It wasn’t true until later, but Hannah’s decision to go to Korea was largely influenced by her aunt. This is because it was her aunt who could receive unconditional support for childbirth.

With the full support of my aunt, everything went smoothly.

[Stoke City, after Cambridge United, wins until Accrington Stanley! This is Stoke City, who further widen the gap to third place in the league. ]

[Oh, that’s great. Who would have predicted that perpetually relegated Stoke City would be second in the second half of the league? ]

Stoke City were also on their way to winning the league.

[Robin Price, here you go! ]

[ goal! Robin cleanly succeeds Jamie’s pass, which he stabbed in the second line! ]

[Gooool! Goal! Jamie Lee does it himself! ]

[Stoke City, Oxford United will also win! ]

Jamie returned to his original position, the second line. As a result, the scoring power of Robin and Brian as well as Jamie increased significantly.

‘Jamie who crossed the half line is unstoppable.’

It was a word that came out when he was playing in the third line.

However, there were more times when the second line ran from a position beyond the half line in the first place. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that not a single player could stop him in League One, let alone in the Premier League.

[Lee is carrying the ball. Brian on the left, Robin in the front. ]

[I have to hit it. You have to do it yourself! ]

[Uh, Jamie Lee. do you hit ]

[I’m in! ]

[This is Stoke City on the go! ]

As a result, the difference between Huddersfield Town and Huddersfield Town, which is currently in first place, has narrowed further.

At the point of leaving about a month until the end of the league, the difference between Huddersfield and Huddersfield was only 8 points.

[ fontsim** – Isn’t this how Stoke really wins? ]

ㄴ [aircond** – I won the League Cup, but can’t I win the League One? ]

ㄴ [ seanha** – I still can’t believe it. Is this Stoke City struggling in the League One relegation zone? ]

[ byrand** – Shall we tell you more surprising facts? One more Stoke City trophy left

b [ moriat** – League One? ]

ㄴ [ifriend** – No, that’s what I said above, you idiot. I’m talking about Papa John’s Pizza Cups. ]

Besides, that wasn’t the end.

[Stoke City’s blast continues. Following the league match, Barnsley was also smashed in the Papa John’s Pizza Cup. 3-0 win ]

Following the League Cup, they advanced to the finals of the Papa John’s Pizza Cup.

[Stoke City with just one game ahead of the ‘2 Crowns’. Opponent is the ‘repulsive’ Luton Town FC. ]

Their opponents in the final were Luton Town FC.

It was a team that belonged to a fairly strong team in League One.

[ seanha** – I recruited a player, but I didn’t expect the team to change this much. Following the Liga League Cup, we will also win the Pizza Cup. ]

ㄴ [mindse** – There is no player greater than the team. Lee did not do well alone. ]

ㄴ [ seanha** – Do you wear your eyes in foam? At the beginning of the season, there was only Lee on the field. ]

“You didn’t watch the game at the beginning of the season, you.”

“…That’s what it says.”

‘Reflex Henry’ club located in Stoke-on-Trent.

There, Sean was diligently typing with his oversized fingers.

And Wayne was looking at him like he was pathetic.

“···Why.”

Sensing his gaze, Sean glanced at Wayne.

“Can I use my real name? You are famous.”

[ seanha ** ]

That was Sean’s nickname.

“There’s an asterisk behind it.”

“…”

Today is the day where Luton Town and Papa John’s Pizza Cup finals are held.

Sean and Wayne decided to watch the game here rather than the stadium as an exception.

The president of Reflex Henry decided to give the whole thing to Stoke City supporters today.

Of course, it wasn’t free, and Sean paid for it all.

“Sean! Can I really drink as much as I want?”

if u see this you eather reading in epub or from somewhere other than noble so just bear with it it may break the flow but nothing can be done sigh

Moments later, Pastor Kane entered the club and asked loudly.

“yes. But… why did you bring so many?”

Sean asked in a bewildered mood.

He dragged all the people involved in the ‘Work Minitris’ he runs.

“Why not? How many do you want to send home?”

It was a question he asked, knowing that Sean would dissuade him.

“······done.”

“Uh ha ha ha. also a rocker The barrel is big!”

Indeed, Sean let out a sigh but couldn’t bear to say so, and Kane burst into laughter.

“How do you think you will win today? Who was your opponent?”

“Luton Town.”

“Ahh. Did we win the league?”

“No, it was tied.”

It was.

At the beginning of the season, coach Charlie, who had not yet grasped Jamie well, left him out, so he missed the game he won.

‘If Charlie hadn’t made a stupid choice then, I would have been one step closer to winning the league.’

I couldn’t see it in real time, but Sean, who looked up the related content later, still regretted that fact.

“Isn’t Luton the next game after the league? It’s become unfortunate.”

“Well, I will win.”

“Ugh. I am anxious.”

Despite Sean’s optimistic answer, Kane shook his head.

“What are you worried about?”

“You don’t even know Sean. If you want to be a little good, it’s a characteristic of Stoke City to be a bitch. You’ve been on a winning streak since you caught Manchester City. It’s time to get screwed over.”

“…”

There was some truth in Kane’s words.

It was Sean who had supported Stoke City for the third generation.

He’s been watching Stoke City games since before he picked up the guitar, or almost since he was a toddler.

‘Is it really different this time?’

‘Are they really promoted this year?’

Every time I thought about this, Stoke City crashed like a ghost.

“Don’t be silly, Kane.”

Although shaken for a moment, Sean struggled to deny Kane’s words.

“It’s not the FA Cup, it’s the Pizza Cup. It’s a tournament I’ve already won twice.”

Then, as if brainwashing himself, he continued to talk.

“Oh, what a negative Sean. hahahahaha!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Kane laughed, and Wayne, who was next to him, also laughed.

Ugh, what kind of wealth did I call these guys to enjoy? Sean had to sigh again.

“Do it, do it.”

Thirty minutes later, the image of the team appeared on the large TV installed on the wall of the club.

“uh? Isn’t Lee selected?”

“Eh?”

As soon as the starting lineup came out, the club started to stir.

“what. Jack Why is that guy a starter?”

“Charlie Adam, I knew that bastard would do that. Ah-oh!”

In the final, Jamie starts on the bench.

This fact alone made the atmosphere grim in an instant.

“Isn’t this going to crash the store today? hahahahaha!”

Kane laughed out loud again.

‘I’m anxious.’

Sean, trying hard to think positively, started biting his nails.

‘What if all the good results so far are just luck?’

‘What if there really is nothing without Lee?’

‘What if Charlie Adam returns to his original state?’

Positivity led to anxiety, and eventually to the usual negative thoughts.

[ ah! Fortunately, the. Pietro Mutombo clears the ball just before it crosses the goal line! ]

Soon the match started, and soon after, the anxiety seemed to be coming into reality.

[ Another Luton Town counterattack! ]

[This is Mutombo. Pietro Mutombo! Rescue the team from danger once again! ]

The performance itself was not pushed back like it used to be. However, they continued to allow Luton Town a chance to counterattack, and in the 30th minute of the first half, they were on the verge of conceding.

‘ah.’

Just before the end of the first half, Sean realized what was wrong.

“It’s a matter of doing better.”

“uh? what are you talking about It’s still in crisis.”

Wayne tilted his head at Sean’s muttering.

“no. As for the game itself, we’re pushing it all the way. Even if you don’t get a decisive opportunity.”

It was literally.

Originally, Stoke City was a team that tried to counterattack with physical after strengthening the defense.

However, as their performance has recently increased, they have been able to lead the game, and on the contrary, they have continued to allow opportunities for Luton, whose strength is the counterattack with speed.

“If I had Lee, I would have created a decisive opportunity…”

“What is Charlie Adam thinking? Why did you cut Lee out of the draft?”

Sean, Wayne, Kane, and other fans present all complained.

“Damn it. When the hell is Lee coming in?”

Dissatisfaction grew stronger. Even after the first half, Jamie was not put in.

Fortunately, there was no big crisis in the second half. Instead, Stoke City also failed to create clear chances.

“uh?”

“Lida!”

“Yeah. I’m finally putting it in!”

And in the 40th minute of the second half, Jamie was finally put in.

“Run.”

“lee! You solve it!”

Jamie immediately created a decisive opportunity after past two Luton Town defenders.

“Hit it!”

“Put it in! please!”

In front of the penalty box, he pretended to shoot and stabbed a pass to Robin who penetrated inside.

“E-YA!”

“YEA!”

[GOAL! GOAL! ]

[ great! As soon as Jamie Lee enters, he creates a goal! ]

[I can’t believe it. ha ha ha. In the final of the cup competition, a player who came in 5 minutes before the end scored the winning goal. does this make sense? ]

[ hahahaha. Isn’t this enough to write the history of every match? ]

The result was a 1-0 win for Stoke City.

“ha ha ha! As expected Li!”

“Robin’s finish was good too!”

“lee! lee!”

“Two crowns! hahahahaha! What is this!”

“…”

While everyone was shouting in excitement, only Sean was staring blankly at the TV.

‘Five minutes is enough, is this?’

After today’s game, we have to play a series of league matches. Among them was Huddersfield, who is currently ranked first. Even, Huddersfield match was the final round.

In other words, in order to win the league, the final goal, it was necessary to keep Jamie, a key player in the team, in top condition.

‘You’re drawing the big picture.’

It felt like I finally saw the true face of director Charlie.

“Isn’t this… a real master commander?”

It was the moment when the number of people who seriously believed in the ‘Charlie Master Chief’ increased by one more.

**

A few hours later, in Director Charlie’s room.

Slowly, Director Charlie was scrolling down his mouse with a serious expression.

The current time is one in the morning.

Originally, he was a ‘man of good life’ who went to bed at eleven and woke up at seven in the morning.

However, since a few months ago, there were many times when I was awake until five in the morning, let alone one or two in the morning.

‘As expected, the player base is too thin.’

Director Charlie muttered, raising his rimless glasses, which he did not normally wear.

Because the lights were off, his face was stained blue by the monitor light.

‘Now, it’s difficult to use Lee as a wide midfielder… Um, should I recruit the wing first?’

As time passed, his bluish face grew more and more serious.

‘Let’s save first.’

He pressed the keyboard control key and the S key at the same time.

Then, on the monitor screen, [Saving. Don’t quit the game. ] came to mind.

The screen Director Charlie is looking at right now is [Football Management 2038].

It was a game commonly referred to as ‘FM’.

Soon after the save was completed, director Charlie thought for a while and then picked up his cell phone.

It was too late to call anyone, but the person on the other end was usually awake by this time, so it wasn’t too much of a problem.

“Oh, yes. You receive it right away. Thank you for your advice last time.”

Druck, druck. Even while talking on the phone, I didn’t stop my hand.

“As you say, it is best to use Lee as a central attacking midfielder. ha ha ha. uh? Oh yeah. He was written as a progressive playmaker.”

click. As he clicked the mouse, the phrase [Winter transfer market has begun] popped up on the screen.

“The reason I called this time was no different, the transfer market was open, and I was wondering which position would be better to reinforce. Wouldn’t it be better to recruit Wing? Well? Get a central defender? Even with Mutombo?”

The call then went on for over 10 minutes.

“Yes, thank you for today. ha ha ha. Go to sleep before it’s too late.”

After a while, director Charlie added, as if he had just remembered, as he was trying to end the call.

“ah. The offer I made last time, to join our team as head coach. Think about it one more time. You will come back anyway.”

if u see this you eather reading in epub or from somewhere other than noble so just bear with it it may break the flow but nothing can be done sigh

My contact name is Milo Conrad.

He was the manager who conquered the Scottish League with the so-called ‘Conrad Ball’ and the person who had the most stake in the current ‘Charlie legend’.
