Romantic on the Field

61.

Premier League veterans conceded the opening goal against a Championship team.

Even though Jamie continued to be pushed back after the injection, Aston Villa had no choice but to actively aim for a tie.

But······.

[ Ned Keating Cross! Mikel, Head! ]

[Oh, it’s not shooting. Mikel dropping it backwards! ]

[Gooooool! ]

[ Jamie scores the second goal! ]

With assists from Keating and Mikel, Jamie scored the second goal to seal the game.

Beep.

After a while, the referee declared the game over.

[ great! Just like last season, this is Stoke City winning against top league clubs again this season! Can Stoke City write history once again? ]

[Even though we only played one game, looking at the contents of today’s game, it seems to have a lot of potential. ]

[ Jamie Lee did a great job today. Didn’t you say winning was your goal at the press conference? Do you really think Riga can win Stoke City? ]

[ well. It is difficult for a particular player to be solely responsible for the team’s performance. However, Jamie Lee’s influence at Stoke City is far beyond imagination. It’s too early to talk about winning, but I don’t think it’s possible to say that there’s no possibility if you continue to show like today.]

The result is 2 to 0.

It was Stoke City that once again created a surprise with Jamie’s performance.

“Isn’t it the starting point for the opposing team’s pool?”

“uh. A complete group.”

“Uh ha ha ha.

It was more meaningful because it was a win against the Premier League team 1, unlike last season, which was mainly against the 2nd or 1.5th team.

“At this level, I think I will be competitive even if I go to the Premier League.”

“Well. Since the FA Cup is a tournament after all, wouldn’t the league be a bit different…?”

“Robin, why are you pouring cold water on a good mood?”

“hahahaha.”

Robin was right. It was quite common for a team with poor objective power to create a surprise in a single game. However, digesting the league for a year was a completely different story. In order to play dozens of games for a year and produce consistent results, more was needed.

“Which of these do you think is the most important?”

After returning home, while having dinner together, Hannah asked such a question out of the blue.

Jamie thought about the answer to the question, not chopping steaks—after the game, he had to eat high-calorie foods.

“money?”

“ha ha ha. As expected, Honey knows how to see the core.”

Hanna popped the cherry tomato into her mouth and then lifted up the tablet PC she had been putting beside her.

“Look at this.”

“No, what are you doing while eating? Let Kai watch and learn.”

“Kai, you’ve been sleeping since before? Look at this for a second.”

[ Team strength report against winter transfer market ]

Such a phrase appeared on the tablet PC screen.

“I don’t need anything else, just look at this.”

widely. When I manipulated the screen again, the position that needed reinforcement and the recruiting target corresponding to that position appeared.

“To get good results in the league, the player base has to be thick. To do that, as honey said, we need money.”

Winger, 2nd line central midfielder, 3rd line midfielder etc… According to the report, almost every position seemed to need reinforcement.

“Why three lines?”

“We use three people in midfield. Including honey, there are four of us. Even if one or two of them fall out, it’s an emergency.”

It made sense.

“Any wingers?”

“We actually only have wingers Brian and Troy on our team.”

“Robin can play on the wing…”

Jamie stopped talking and frowned.

“George Benjor?”

“ok?”

Hanna followed Jamie and frowned.

‘Honey, are there any wingers who are good at breaking through?’

‘whiz? Well. I know a player who is only good at breaking through.’

‘yes? What do you mean?’

‘My name is Jorge Benjor. One dribble breakthrough is amazing, but that is all. Will it come up if I search for it? But why?’

Jamie recalled a conversation he had with Hannah a few days earlier.

It was just an answer without much thought, I didn’t know it would make it into the official team report.

‘It’s too much of a gamble…’

Before returning to the past, Jamie, who had played together at Manchester United, was overcome with anxiety.

George Benjor. aka ‘Beng’

A player who set a phenomenal record of 16 breakthrough successes in one game.

At the same time, he was also a player who set a phenomenal record of 38 turnovers (mistakes, failure to break through) in the same game.

And above all…

‘Jay! What should I do? Should I just break through first?’

‘Jay, do I have to cross even though there’s no one on the other side?’

‘Jay, why does the goalkeeper block all my shots?’

‘Jay, Jay!’

‘Jay!’

It was a very annoying existence.

“You’re not going to sign this player right away, are you?”

“hahahahaha, how do I know that? But well, you’re using an asymmetric formation without a right winger right now.”

“right.”

“If we get promoted next year and change tactics, won’t we recruit them? I already spent a lot of money, but there is no need to overdo it.”

This, too, made sense.

Even if Jamie’s father-in-law, the owner of Stoke City, had a lot of money, it wasn’t as rich as Arab oil. In the transfer market this summer, they are looking to sign Ned Keating from the same league.

I used quite a bit of money.

At this point, Jorge Benjor plays for Premier League side Leeds United.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No matter how much the bench resource is, he was once quite a promising prospect, so Leeds will not be offered at a bargain price.

In other words, as Hannah said, it seemed unlikely that she would forcefully recruit the team at this point.

“But isn’t Leeds United our next opponent in the FA Cup?”

I let out a sigh of relief, but Hannah said that right away.

“···Eh?”

Jamie’s eyes widened.

**

Bet 777 Stadium, where the FA Cup Round 4-32 will be held on January 27th.

The winter transfer window is only four days away.

Fortunately, there was no movement to recruit players.

“Jay. lee!”

“uh?”

“What, why are you bruised? Hey, the opponent is calling.”

Brian’s words turned Jamie’s head.

“…”

And after confirming the opponent, Jamie quickly turned his head again.

“Ugh? why are you ignoring Shake your hand at least.”

Jamie didn’t respond.

“Um, who is that player?”

Robin, who was next to him, asked.

“What was his name, he was Beng.”

“Ahh. Is that Jorge Benn what that player? The first time I praised Jay in an interview…”

“right. Jamie Lee is my idol. I have admired him ever since he was in Germany. What else did you say?”

Yes. Jorge Benjor has been bothering Jamie for a very long time. In a way, it was similar to Ned Keating.

“But why are you doing that from afar?”

“They say they don’t speak English well.”

Jamie moved on without a word.

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, the game started and Jamie crossed the half line right away.

It’s ‘Beng’ and it’s Nabal, and I had to focus on the game right away – above all, Ben was on the bench today.

Read from noble mtl dot com

Leeds United are part of the Premier League, but unlike Aston Villa, they have been relegated to the Championship several times over the past decade. Last year, he narrowly succeeded in staying in 17th place.

The overall player base may be thicker, but in terms of pure first-team power, there was no big difference from Stoke City.

So, if we got a clear win in the beginning, there was a high possibility that the game would be easier than we thought.

‘Ralph.’

Jamie saw that the players in front hadn’t taken their seats yet, so he passed to Ralph, who was slightly below him.

Among the three midfielders today, Harry played a defensive role and Ralph played a more attacking role.

Ralph, who received the ball, moved forward little by little, and immediately returned the ball to Jamie when the opponent pressed him.

Tutuk. Jamie then took off the opponent’s mark with a flip flap, then exchanged two-on-one passes with Ralph again. This simple move caused a crack in Leeds United’s midfield.

‘great.’

Condition was good. The flow seemed good. Jamie decided to solve it himself after a long time.

Brian and Robin were working hard to shake the opponent’s defense, and Keating was coming up from the side.

Jamie pretended to poke a pass at Robin and swerved to the left.

The situation with Brian and Keating on the left. As a result, the Leeds defenders’ body direction and stepping foot also moved to the left.

Coincidentally, at this timing, Keating sped up and came up to the side of the penalty box.

It is now. It didn’t take long to ponder.

Two-woong.

Jamie swerved diagonally to the right again and sprinted forward.

“…!”

Two consecutive turns, then a sprint.

Despite the presence of defenders near the penalty box, Leeds could not react immediately.

The shooting angle soon opened up, and Jamie didn’t hesitate.

C-Ah!

“ah.”

The process was good. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was perfect. However, the results did not follow.

Jamie’s shot hit the end of the post and was out, and the Stoke home fans let out a sigh.

‘It’s fine.’

Football goes through a crisis right away if it doesn’t take advantage of the opportunity. Although he knew this better than anyone else, Jamie struggled to shake off his anxiety.

“Nice cut, Mutombo!”

“great. I like the flow now!”

Fortunately, Mutombo got out of danger by blocking the opponent’s attack.

Afterwards, Leeds United attempted a few more attacks but failed to produce results, which soon became Stoke City’s chance.

“Ralph!”

“Go up!”

Ralph crossed the half-line again, and this time led the ball directly to the empty right.

Jamie infiltrated the right near post.

Ralph didn’t miss it. He pricked a pass right away before the defenders caught up.

‘Two on the side, one on the back.’

Jamie didn’t have to check where the defenders were. The information was already loaded into my head.

Took. As soon as he touched the ball, he bent his body further to the right.

‘Blind shooting!’

The Leeds defense and the goalkeeper had no choice but to be nervous for a moment as there were not a few times when the goal was scored in a situation where there was no angle.

But Jamie caught them off guard.

With his right heel, he passed to Robin, who was standing diagonally.

“…!”

Robin did not miss such an opportunity.

Stoke home fans, who knew that fact better than anyone else, rose from their seats in advance.

[ eee-YeeeA! ]

And Robin lived up to the expectations of the home fans.

“crazy! After all, it’s Robin!”

“Jamie’s heel pass was also good.”

“No, Lee’s pass was better. You crazy bastard!”

Jamie only smiled slightly at the rave reviews from home fans and teammates.

match. Then he high-fived Robin, who scored the goal, and then turned around.

We definitely had to score another goal at this point.

‘There are also risk factors.’

Jamie glanced at the Leeds United bench.

There, a player who could be a crack that destroys the opposing team or a troll that destroys his own team was looking at himself with shining eyes.
