Romantic on the Field

52.

‘About 10 minutes left.’

Jamie looked at the billboard.

Ten minutes was not enough time to score an equalizer.

However, the problem was that Wolverhampton did not loosen the reins of the attack despite scoring the opening goal. It seemed like the intention was to score a wedge goal while gaining momentum.

“Harry, Ralph. Cover the sides a little more!”

They focused on the flanks, but this itself was no different from their usual attack pattern. However, the details were different.

Galyeong, if in the past both ‘S’ broke through and supplied quality passes to ‘O’ in the middle, now the striker ‘O’ was only playing the role of holding the central defender.

Instead, both wingers exchanged the ball to the opposite side or attempted a cross aimed at the far post.

‘You did a good job analyzing it.’

Jamie had no choice but to admit that fact. It seemed that he brought a customized strategy according to him after analyzing in detail until Boavista FC, which tried to change the players’ first position as well as Stoke City’s recent league match.

“Look the other way!”

“Damn it, look at Silviu!”

The two S’s of ‘SOS’ constantly put up crosses with far posts as if they were teasing, and the Stoke defense was busy chasing them.

squash.

Eventually, in the 44th minute of the first half, Silviu again allowed an additional goal.

“I couldn’t help it.”

A few minutes later, away locker room at Molyneux Stadium.

Director Charlie said with a calm expression.

“The opposing coaches have been well prepared. This means that our coaching staff, no, I was lacking, so you guys don’t have to be too intimidated.”

It was not an appropriate remark for a coach who must be trusted by the players, but there was no sign of disappointment or disbelief on the faces of the players.

“In the second half, Harry and Ralph are placed a little more on the flanks.”

Knowing this or not, Charlie continued. Maybe he just didn’t care at all.

“It’s not just that the position changes, but the movement is a little wider horizontally. You know what I mean?

“Yep.”

Tuck, Tuck. Charlie moved the magnets on the tactics board.

Then the empty midfield was revealed.

“Then the center is too empty. Who carries the ball? Maybe you can ask me this question.”

True to his words, there was no player between Mario, who was almost on the same line as the defender, and Jamie, who was far above him.

“The ball delivery, as always, is done by our assault captain.”

widely. Finally, Charlie lowered Jamie’s position slightly.

‘yes. I have to do it.’

Jamie accepted it calmly now.

A situation where Stoke City have to follow two points. If you think simply, it is correct to raise the entire line.

However, if you try to attack and concede one more goal, the game is virtually over at that point.

For the coaching staff, it was a reasonable and safe choice to lean on Jamie.

“It’s only half over. You can’t be frustrated like this. right? Let’s show our fighting spirit to the away fans who have come this far. Stoke.”

“Stoke! Stoke!”

After Captain Oliver’s remarks, the players went out onto the field.

For the away fans who followed us this far, and for Hannah, who is watching the game on TV. Jamie looked back and forth between the crowd and the relay camera, then murmured softly.

The second half started soon.

‘They lowered the line.’

Read from noble mtl dot com

Leading by two goals, Wolverhampton lowered their offensive line.

If it was natural, it was a natural result. It was Wolverhampton who not only led by two goals, but also constantly tried to break through sprints and dribbles throughout the 45 minutes of the first half. If the same thing was repeated from the first half to the second half, the entire attacking team would be carried on a stretcher before 90 minutes had passed.

On the other hand, Jamie unintentionally conserved his stamina as he seldom got an attacking opportunity in the first half.

‘Twice, three times alone.’

After breaking through the dribble alone, he estimated the number of times he could score a goal, and to be exact, the number of attempts he could make.

Unlike last season, this season I was playing the full 90 minutes in a row.

If we had played with all our might in the first half, even this would have been impossible.

But this was enough.

Two-woong.

In the 5th minute of the second half, as soon as Jamie crossed the half line, he sent the ball forward and started running.

Robin and Brian, who were ahead of them, ran at a reasonable speed. It seemed to ease Jamie’s burden by accepting even a 2-to-1 pass.

‘I have to.’

I was grateful, but I didn’t have to.

Char-ah.

After avoiding the opponent’s central midfielder’s sliding tackle, he moved to the empty right space.

As if responding to this, Robin and Brian went up to their original positions, and the opposing defensive midfielder and left fullback pressed Jamie as if they were surrounded.

Jamie brought the ball close to his feet to gather information about his surroundings.

‘Right now, two people in front of me, and one more person behind me.’

Soon, as he recognized, ‘S’ Silviu, who scored two goals, also joined the ranks of the siege.

Despite being surrounded by three people, Jamie wasn’t anxious or nervous at all.

‘Should I at least sign it?’

Rather, it made me laugh.

It was because he felt like he was being escorted rather than under siege.

At that moment, the defensive midfielder right in front of him stretched out his foot toward the ball.

And that became a signal.

Tuduk. As soon as he passed the defensive midfielder with a phantom dribble, the fullback hit his shoulder roughly.

puck.

A heavy shock passed through Jamie’s body.

‘Am I going to fall?’

I had the urge for a moment, but I resisted it. Jamie balanced himself on the verge of falling and swerved straight into the penalty box. Silviu, who is quick on his feet, followed right away, but he quickly took it off with his upper body painting and turn.

“Jay!”

Just at that moment, Robin was seen penetrating between the central defenders.

The linebreaker’s menacing movement was also caught in the field of view of the defenders. Their eyes instantly focused on Robin.

‘Now.’

Jamie posted a quick and strong cross toward the far post on the other side, not the center where Robin penetrated.

squash.

Brian didn’t miss it. He scored a chase goal with just a light touch of his head.

[EE-YEA! ]

‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.’

Watching Brian run away cheering, Jamie remembered the sentence above.

“Jay! It was a nice cross. ha ha ha!”

“hahahahaha! How long does it take to score a header, Brian!”

Soon other colleagues came running and stroked the backs of Brian and Jamie’s heads. Some of them went beyond stroking and hitting, but Jamie shook off their hands and ran for the ball in the net.

“Let’s go back now. Gotta score the equalizer.”

“Oh yeah.”

After a while, Wolverhampton carried out the replacement of left winger Sam during ‘SOS’. He strengthened the defense by excluding him who lost his stamina from trying to break through the dribble throughout the first half.

‘If it were me, I would have left Sylvieu.’

Jamie thought to himself. It was Silviu who scored the goal, but his movement was more threatening. However, it was not that I did not understand the position of the manager of Wolverhampton because it could buy a backlash if a player who was about to score a hat trick was removed.

“Hey!”

And Silviu actually started greedy for a hat trick. Despite lowering the entire offensive line, he often came over to the Stoke camp alone and asked for a pass from his teammates.

“Sylvieu! calm down!”

Wolverhampton’s mentor and captain Gerson Mosquera tried to calm him down, but Silviu seldom listened.

“Sylvieu! Get down!”

In the end, I tried to break through the dribble alone and even heard a sound from the Wolverhampton coaches.

‘done.’

Jamie smiled.

At the same time, the coaching staff, who were running out of patience, was determined to create another chance before they cut him off.

“Ralph!”

“Catch up!”

In the 20th minute of the second half, Silviu hit Ralf, who had come down almost to the fullback position, and took it off with a run.

After that, he boldly advanced right into the penalty box.

ter- ong.

Next, he attempted a step over-floppy leg and was blocked by Mutombo.

“Mutombo!”

It’s a chance. Jamie immediately turned and ran.

The ball passed to Mutombo, then Vincent, and then Jamie.

Jamie dragged the ball back into the empty space on the right.

To-wook. Then, he hit the opposing fullback who was hurriedly following him, ran and ran, and entered the penalty box as Silviu did.

‘Gerson Mosquera’

The heart of Wolverhampton’s defense.

‘How should I cook it?’

Backshot, Phantom, Cruyfton. A few methods popped into my head. But Jamie chose none of them.

Just as Sylvieu had done a while ago, I cast a few step overs, and at one point turned left.

‘Five.’

Despite his age, he was not bad at reacting. Although it was belated, I followed Jamie’s movements.

But that wasn’t the end.

Jamie put his left foot back as if he were going to shoot, then turned right again when he saw Gerson Mosquera’s body lean to the left.

Gershon’s center of gravity collapsed. At the same time, the shooting angle was opened.

I didn’t have to think further. There was no need to kick hard. Jamie lightly kicked the ball with his right foot without any preparation.

The ball was neatly sucked into the right corner of the goal.

[EE-YEEA! ]

Stoke City fans who were sitting in the away table all stood up from their seats and shouted.

“Gool!”

“As expected Lee!”

“lee! lee!’

“I knew Lee could do it!”

“ha ha ha.”

Ned Keating, who was also in the crowd, burst into laughter.

pay back as it is

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Ned Keating, who had already been hit by Jamie a few times, felt a sense of fellowship with the Wolverhampton players.

Afterwards, Wolverhampton changed to a 4-4-2 formation by excluding Silbiu and injecting a good physical striker. It seemed that the intention was to bring victory back through simple attacks for the rest of the time.

In line with this, Stoke City also replaced Robin with tall striker Mikel.

Beep-big.

However, the match ended in a 2-2 draw with neither team having a clear chance after that.

As Wolverhampton, I missed the game that I caught all of them, and I caught up with the game that looked hopeless in Stoke’s position. Of course, the first contributor was Jamie.

‘Is it too much for Jamie alone?’

Conversely, no matter how much Jamie did, he couldn’t pull off a victory.

‘If there was even one person to help carry the ball, the result would have been different.’

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Ned Keating, who was watching the game with empathy, was very sorry about that fact.

He looked down at Jamie as he exchanged jerseys with opposing captain Gerson Mosquera after the game.

Soon, the team came to greet the fans, and Jamie, who was selected as MOM, conducted an interview. In the meantime, the spectators left the stadium one by one. However, Ned Keating stood still, standing tall in his place. After a while, after that was all over, Ned Keating was the only one left in the crowd.

A few more minutes passed, and then Ned Keating turned.

“Yes, this is Keating. Regarding what I said last time.”

And in his hand was a cell phone.

“Ah, that should be enough for Swansea to accept. It is fortunate that Stoke is well funded.”

The person on the phone was none other than Ned Keating’s agent.
