Romantic on the Field

58.

Blackpool FC, which had been completely defensive, suffered a complete defeat.

Watford FC, which used the second-ranked striker in the league to fight back, also suffered a crushing defeat.

‘Then what tactics should I use?’

The team facing Stoke City naturally had no choice but to fall into this kind of trouble.

“Director, we need to make a decision soon.”

Same with Hull City.

“…”

“Director.”

“Let’s go as usual. Don’t overdo it, let’s show what we’re good at.”

Hull City’s Louis Coyle was a conservative manager. Therefore, ‘concentrate on Ace Jamie.’ I came to Stoke City with just this much of a countermeasure.

And the result…

[Gooool! Goal! Jamie Lee scores a great mid-range goal! ]

[ This is Jamie Lee who proves his class against Hull City! It may be premature, but it seems that no championship team can stop him! ]

[Hull City, helpless defeat to Stoke City]

[Stoke City, 3-0 win over Hull City]

[Jamie Lee scored a multi-goal against Hull City. ]

I was defeated for no reason.

On this day, Jamie made an outstanding performance without a doubt. In addition to scoring, he created numerous decisive chances and dismantled Hull City’s defensive camp alone.

[Hull City, director Louis Coyle “Lee is irresistible. I couldn’t stop him.” ]

ㄴ [Watford, director Tom Cleverley “You must also have a gun.” ]

As a result, the manager of Hull City described Jamie as ‘force majeure’.

While media attention was focused on the continued good performance, Stoke City players, including Jamie, were not swept away by this and were engaged in training as usual.

“Jay, are you still aiming for your heart? With this momentum, I think we’ll set a new record.”

Except for Brian.

“Jay. how is it? don’t you care If you’re like me, you’d be very concerned.”

He asked endless questions to Jamie, who was silently training.

It wasn’t a malicious question.

Brian was too nice and stupid for that.

“Brian.”

“ok?”

“You really don’t care?”

“…Ugh?”

Rest period before moving on to the next training session.

Jamie said to Brian, who had been chattering next to him throughout training.

“The preliminary list for the World Cup will be announced soon. Looking at the article, it seems that Belarus will be announced within this month.”

“Aagh! tell me why I had completely forgotten about it!”

“hahahaha.”

Robin, who was listening to the conversation from the side, burst into laughter.

“Bryan, who shines 6th in the championship scoring rankings. Are you ready to play for your country?”

“Aagh! stop!”

The 2038 World Cup will be held in November for the second time after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This is because the venue is Saudi Arabia, which boasts a heat comparable to that of Qatar.

And Brian was a dual national of Belarus, who joined almost last among 48 countries that advanced to the finals.

“I personally wish Brian would drop out.”

“Ahh. Robin! What are you doing again?”

“ha ha ha. The Premier League temporarily suspends play during the World Cup, but the Championship is not. It’s hard if you fall out.”

“ROOBI, why are you like that? You have Jamie.”

FIFA places the utmost importance on the individual player’s opinion whether or not a player from multiple nationalities participates in the national team. To what extent, it is to the extent that the refusal of an individual player to be selected as an exception is recognized until the nationality is selected.

In fact, Kevin Soren Haer, who played for Hamburg, played for the Korean national team under the name ‘Sumin Choi’ according to his own will. Conversely, a player named Marvin Back chose the Spanish national team.

In the case of Brian, he had received offers from both Britain and Belarus for a long time, but he chose Belarus in the end. Because that side has a higher chance of playing as the main player.

Jamie, on the other hand, was still putting the decision on hold.

Read from noble mtl dot com

Last year, the Korea Football Association inquired about joining the national team by age group through agent John. However, he politely declined the offer.

‘I have to save my knees.’

In his previous life, Jamie was dragged into various age groups from last year and suffered abuse, not abuse. This influence was not small in his decision to retire at the early age of his early 30s.

So, this time in my life, I planned to postpone participating in the national team as much as possible.

If the time came to make a decision, they were more likely to choose England over Korea.

‘Because you can focus more on Hannah and Stoke City.’

Fortunately, at this point, both Korea and England did not pay much attention to Jamie as they were concentrating on the Saudi World Cup that was just around the corner.

“Oh, the director is here.”

“Robin, take that back.”

“Well? what do you say?”

“You said you wish I was eliminated!”

“hahahaha. I’ll think about it.”

Even after training resumed, Brian continued to peck Robin, and Robin covered it up with a smile.

“lee.”

The training went off without a hitch, and Jamie was getting ready for extra training as usual.

But then, Milo Conrad, whom I thought had left with Charlie, approached me.

“Wait, can I talk to you?”

“…”

story? why again?

Jamie looked at him with a little uneasiness.

**

A few days later, the home locker room at Bet 777 Stadium.

“The key to today’s game is Brian Lekka.”

Ahead of the game against Cardiff City, coach Charlie said that right away.

“Brian. Haven’t you been spending a lot of time in Halfspace lately?”

“Yes.”

“How do you feel?”

At Charlie’s question, Brian pondered briefly.

“Certainly… I think I created more opportunities for my teammates.”

“hahahaha. right. Today’s game is an extension of that.”

Currently, Stoke City’s playmaking is only Jamie’s share.

Of course, at this point, Jamie alone is enough. But it was necessary to keep in mind when we faced a Premier League team in the FA Cup. Even Jamie could have a hard time if the defenders of top clubs in the Premier League, not the championship, intensively check him.

“We also had to be prepared for Jamie’s absence. This is why I have focused on training in half-space for the past month.”

In other words, today Brian plays the role of playmaker on the side.

“You never know. Maybe Brian will do as well as Jamie today and go to the World Cup,”

. . . .”

And Brian’s expression hardened at Charlie’s words that followed. Meanwhile, the other players burst into laughter.

“Now, the opponent is a team that has strong pressure and enjoys rough physical fights. Everyone, be careful of injuries and play smart. more.”

The locker room conversation is over.

‘I wonder if it’s okay.’

After a while, the game started, and Jamie glanced at Brian, who had a hard expression on his face.

‘Before Cardiff soon. Give Brian the first half.’

A few days ago, at the training ground, head coach Milo gave me a tip, not a tip beforehand.

‘Cardiff will come out rough in the beginning. Especially when Jamie catches the ball. So in the first half, it’s better to be a bit reserved.’

Of course, I didn’t mean that Brian could get hurt. It’s just that compared to Jamie, he’s less likely to be checked.

In addition, if he played in real life, Brian would be able to adapt to his new role a little faster.

Okay, let’s try it. Jamie drove the ball himself until Brian got into the right position.

Per-billion.

Indeed, as Milo said, the other person pushed his body roughly.

‘It’s real.’

To the point of laughing at the play so blatantly and at Milo’s prediction so accurate.

It seemed that a rougher foul would come in if he held on for nothing, so Jamie induced a free kick by falling moderately.

Beep-big. Immediately, the referee blew his whistle and came running.

“Brian!”

Jamie brushed herself off and called out to him.

“You are the car!”

“… Ugh? I?”

“yes.”

After that, he walked near the penalty box.

‘Mutombo, Harry.’

These two players are capable of threatening attacks in set-piece situations.

And the players who can finish the ball or loose ball dropped by these two are Keating and Robin.

‘I’ll have to leave the indirect free kick to Brian from now on.’

If you add Jamie to this, the chances of scoring from set pieces will go up even more.

Jamie, whose thoughts had reached that point, smiled.

Tung-

Soon, Brian posted a high cross close to the post.

The opposing goalkeeper and centre-back, as well as Mutombo and Harry, mingled together to win the ball in the air.

In the meantime, Jamie moved little by little, anticipating the location of the loose ball.

Took. In the end, it was Mutombo who won the ball. He dropped his header to the other side, as if blocking a cross, before the ball reached the goalkeeper’s hands.

Jamie was standing there.

puck.

Jamie continued this with a direct shot.

‘uh?’

And I was a little taken aback when I saw the ball pass between the defenders and get sucked right into the bottom left corner of the goal.

[eee-YeeeA! ]

“aaa! Goal as soon as it starts! madman!”

“Isn’t this really setting a new record? hahahahaha.”

Amid cheers from the home crowd and teammates.

‘Ah, I need to use Brian.’

The person who scored the goal was in a very difficult mood.

**

Cardiff City, who allowed Jamie the opening goal, bumped his body roughly every time he caught the ball.

‘Now they’re openly attacking me.’

Jamie dodged the tackle with skill, passing the pass to Brian whenever he had the chance.

The opponent is in a situation where only Jamie is intensively checking. This was a good opportunity for Brian, who was not familiar with playmaking yet.

[ eee-YeeeA! ]

In the 44th minute of the first half, just before the end, Robin received a pass from Brian and calmly scored an additional goal.

“Nice pass, Brian!”

“hahahahaha, it was a pass worthy of the national team!”

“…don’t do that.”

20 minutes in the second half.

Jamie shook off the pressing midfielder and passed to Brian.

Hoo-wook. And right into the penalty box.

The eyes of the opposing players were naturally focused on Jamie, and Brian stabbed a through pass to Keating, who went back instead of Jamie.

After receiving the ball, Keating crosses it to Robin on the other side.

whoa-oh

“Ah, sorry!”

“Nice cross, Keating.”

“You had a good through pass before that, Brian.”

Unfortunately, it didn’t lead to a goal as the defender cleared it before reaching Robin, but the process was good until then.

And 35 minutes into the second half.

In a situation where the left flank and center, Keating and Robin penetrated at the same time, Brian pushed a pass to Jamie, who was positioned in front of the penalty box.

Already plagued by two, the Cardiff defenders struggled for a moment on who to mark, and Jamie fired a shot before they could decide.

[ eee-YeeeA! ]

Brian’s second assist of the game, and Jamie’s second goal.

After that, the game went without any major changes, and Stoke City continued its good performance by destroying Cardiff City 3-0.

[ Jamie Lee crosses the half line. ]

[Do you drag yourself? ]

[Ah, pass to Brian Rekka. ]

The next match, against Norwich City, went in a similar fashion.

[This is Brian, who showed a good performance against Cardiff City last time. What kind of image will we show this time? ]

[ Ned Keating runs. Brian stabbing left. ]

[ Keating, do you do it yourself? ah! Cutback to Jamie Lee in the back! ]

[Gooool! Goal! It’s Jamie Lee with 18 league goals! ]

Early on, Jamie shakes his opponent. Brian scores an assist or, if not, creates a chance to start a goal. Jamie or Robin or Keating scores the goals. In the end, Stoke wins.

“It’s a big deal.”

“what.”

“Even if we win the league game, we will do that.”

“hahahaha.”

Inside the squad bus after the match against Norwich.

Jamie finished reading the article after giving a rough answer to Robin, who was sitting next to him.

[Even Norwich City sinks. ]

[ ‘There is no match for the championship’ ]

ㄴ [playno** – I’ll tell you to prove the champs next year ]

ㄴ [ worldc** – ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ]

Today’s comment response is also good. Jamie, who was looking at the phone with a happy heart, lowered the screen. I was there to see the next article.

‘uh?’

Then, when I found a related article hanging at the end of the screen, I frowned.

[ Belarus, Saudi Arabia World Cup Preliminary List Announcement ]

He immediately clicked on the title of the article.

“Ah-aaagh Picked!”

And before I could check the contents of the article, Brian, who was sitting in the front seat, screamed.
