Stoke City have reached the FA Cup Round of 16.

And, the winter transfer window is over.

In the end, Stoke City did not sign Jorge Benjor.

“I should say I’m glad.”

“yes? what?”

“Nope.”

After the game against Stoke City, Jorge Benjor returned to the Trolls and sat on the bench as if nothing had happened.

In the meantime, Stoke City continued to do well.

[Wolverhampton trying to reduce the gap with 1st place. ‘All in’ to the league]

ㄴ [ Full operation of ‘SOS’ even in a tight schedule]

The difference between the 2nd place Wolverhampton Wanderers is 16 points. Wanderers gave up both the FA Cup and the League Cup and went all-in for the championship, but the gap did not narrow.

Currently, the difference between Sheffield United in third place and Watford in fourth place is much higher than that. Considering that up to 2nd place was a direct promotion, promotion could be confirmed within the next month at the earliest.

“Dude, I never thought I would see Stoke go to the Premier League in my lifetime.”

Hannah was cleaning the living room, and Jamie was folding towels on the living room sofa with the TV on.

And the father continued to mutter to himself while going back and forth between the living room and the master bedroom with Kai in his arms.

“father.”

“Should we all have a party on the day the promotion is confirmed?”

“Parties are good. But father.”

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 father passed Jamie and tried to go back to the master bedroom. I heard it clearly, but pretended not to hear it.

Of course, Jamie had no intention of letting go.

“Why did you come again?”

swish At his words that could not be ignored, the father’s head turned.

“Why am I coming to see my grandson? What, do you need another reason?”

Actually, Jamie didn’t mind. However, I couldn’t help but worry that Hannah would be uncomfortable.

“Oh, why! I said that, but what if my father doesn’t come anymore?”

Hanna ran ‘do-do-do’ and slapped Jamie on the back.

“Thanks to Kai for coming and looking after us like this, we can even clean the house that was overcrowded.”

Oh, is it? Jamie scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Well, every time my father came, he took care of Kai with all his enthusiasm and sincerity. It was the opposite of the father-in-law giving financial help, to the extent that it was a bit excessive.

“Kai seems to be asleep, now put it down and come over here.”

After a while, the cleaning was over and the three sat down at the table amicably. On the table was a set of high-quality refreshments sent by the father-in-law the other day.

“Who was your opponent in the round of 16?”

“Crystal Palace.”

“this.”

When he heard the name of the opposing team, his father’s expression hardened.

“why?”

“Why? It’s because it’s a strong opponent.”

After taking a sip of black tea, my father took out his cell phone.

“Look, we’re 13th in the Premier League right now.”

“It’s pretty high, isn’t it?”

13th. Considering that the Premier League is a very well-leveled league, it was by no means a low ranking.

“right. It’s different from Leeds United struggling in the relegation zone.”

Read from noble mtl dot com

Leeds United were currently 19th.

“If you’re 13th, you’re above Aston Villa.”

Aston Villa is 15th.

“Crystal Palace must have been in the Premier League longer than Aston Villa?”

Hanna helped from the side.

Shortly after her father passed away, Hannah showed the all-time Crystal Palace League record on her tablet PC.

“Oh, really. Was Aston Villa 10 years?”

“yes.”

Aston Villa, their opponent in the round of 3-64, has never been relegated to the Championship in 10 years.

Crystal Palace did more than that. He stayed in the Premier League for 38 years from 2013, a whopping 25 years.

“The league record this season is also good. There are a lot of goals conceded, but the score has to go to the top of the list.”

“really?”

“yes. Both wingers and central midfielders scored evenly. Uh, isn’t honey going to compete in the third line again?”

“Ah, no way…”

Jamie let out a big laugh and shook his head.

**

A few days later, Crystal Palace’s home stadium Selhurst Park.

‘I never thought I’d really run in the third line.’

Right before the game started, Jamie stood alone, blankly.

“Jay, Jay!”

Brian called out to Jamie, who was standing there blankly.

“Why are you so engrossed these days? Shall I wake you up with a kung fu kick?”

Selhurst Park is where Eric Cantona performed the famous ‘Kung Fu Kick’ in the past. That’s why Brian made that joke.

“no.”

Jamie replied, averting his gaze.

“Uh, what is it? Are you okay?”

“Yeah, Jamie has times when she’s scared too.”

Brian’s and Robin’s eyes widened.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No matter what the other person said, he calmly responded or ignored it altogether.

But you say ‘no’.

‘Was direct strikes Jamie’s weakness?’

The thought just popped into my head.

“I’m not saying it, I’m saying it all for Brian.”

However, Jamie’s words tilted their heads diagonally.

“Eh?”

“What if you do that to me and get shot by the Stoke fans? For Belarus, it means losing the next-generation ace.”

“…”

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

Making Brian shut up, Jamie walked towards the half-line.

“Come quickly. start.”

True to his words, the FA Cup Round of 16 was about to begin.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a long time.’

After a while, the game started, and Jamie slowly turned the ball down the half line.

Today, Jamie played as a third-line midfielder for the first time in a very long time.

This is because their opponent, Crystal Palace, is a strong team.

Today, the Stoke City coaching staff came out with an asymmetric 3-6-1 formation instead of the existing asymmetric 4-1-4-1 formation.

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

Mario, who played as a defensive midfielder, was lowered to the middle of the back three, and Ralph and Harry were rather raised.

Jamie, on the other hand, sits lower than Harry and Ralph originally played.

Of course, it wasn’t just because Crystal Palace was a strong team that they put Jamie down. If it were simply lowering the defensive line, Harry and Ralph would have lowered too.

Today, Jamie takes on what is commonly referred to as the ‘deep lying playmaker’.

Crystal Palace was likely to aim for the first goal by applying strong pressure against Stoke City, which is considered a relatively weak team. So, by lowering Jamie to the back where the intensity of the pressure was weak, the coaches not only relieved the burden of pressure, but also made it possible to coordinate the overall game.

‘I said both wingers and 2nd and 3rd midfielders are threatening.’

The left winger was a Costa Rican, the right winger was a Mexican, and the attacking central midfielder was a Colombian.

Getting visas for non-Europeans in the Premier League, if not the Championship, was very difficult – to be exact, the Championship was more on the ridiculously tricky side.

In other words, if he was good enough to play in the Premier League, he would at least become a regular player in his national team.

The same goes for those Latin American trio.

‘Oops.’

Among them, the Colombian came down to the rear where Jamie was and pressed hard.

Jamie turned left and tried to pass it to Keating, who also saw the Mexican pressing and turned the ball around the back.

‘It won’t be easy.’

First half, 5 minutes, 10 minutes… Time continued to pass, but Stoke City failed to develop a proper attack.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Now, I need to unfold the strategy I prepared. By the time I had such troubles, Crystal Palace seized the opportunity first.

The Mexican presses the ball away from Ralph and crosses near the goal line.

Mutombo cleared it without difficulty, but the second ball landed close to the Colombian.

Jamie, who was in front of me, hurriedly put his feet together and narrowed the shooting angle. Thanks to that, Colombia’s shot went straight to goalkeeper Oliver.

Oliver effortlessly bounced the ball over the goal line.

“Nice save!”

“Each of you check out the Mark players!”

The Stoke City coaches shouted and the players took their seats.

The kicker is a left winger.

A Costa Rican, it was a player named ‘Navas’ who recorded an assist against Belarus during the World Cup.

Jamie, as usual, took a position outside the penalty box for a counterattack.

oh-oh Navas fired a corner kick towards the far post.

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

Mutombo is on the near post side, and Harry is in the center of the penalty box next to it.

Jamie’s head turned.

‘this.’

Keating, who is relatively short, was competing for a header with a Colombian player a while ago.

squash.

Unfortunately, the ball hit the opponent’s head and shook the net.

[ eee-YEE! ]

The home crowd that came to Selhurst Park cheered.

It’s not easy either. Jamie let out a short sigh.

‘Is this a Premier League mid-table team?’

I thought so.

Conversely, it was also a story that Stoke City would have to improve much more than they are now if they are to be competitive in the Premier League next year.

“It’s fine! It’s still early in the game. I can catch up anytime.”

Still, Jamie encouraged his teammates by clapping their hands.

“Mister, Mr! Jay is right!”

Vincent Herrero-Sancho also joined in by clapping his hands.

great. Harry smiled and walked over to Harry.

“Harry Harry. know?”

“yes.”

Originally, Harry was a player whose strengths were excellent stamina and activity. Hearing Jamie’s advice here, he developed a strength in heading.

Today, Jamie was thinking of making use of such Harry.

Beep-big. The game resumed soon after. Jamie turned the ball from behind, saw Keating overlapping, and turned to Harry.

‘Now.’

I didn’t even have to take it out. Harry crossed the half-line immediately with Jamie’s chin.

Took. After checking Harry’s movements, Jamie pricked a long pass to Brian, who was loitering in the left half-space.

Brian caught the ball reliably. And at about the same time, Crystal Palace players have been pressing him.

Brian didn’t overdo it. He gave the ball right away to Harry, who had just arrived nearby.

‘What about Keating?’

Jamie’s gaze moved to the left. Keating crossed the half line and reached a position where he could cross.

done. Now everything is in place. Jamie also crossed the half line.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Now, without Mikel, Harry was the only player to play the role of ‘human telephone pole’ or ‘tukbaegi’. Mutombo was better in terms of air possession, but he was a central defender. It was a much safer choice for Harry, who has excellent stamina and activity, to go back and forth between the midfield and the opposing team’s penalty box.

Took. Under heavy pressure, Harry turned the ball to Jamie.

Almost at the same time as Jamie received the ball, Harry entered the penalty box, and the opponents who were pressuring him shifted the pressure to Jamie.

Jamie pretended to turn backwards to avoid the pressure, then turned around again, hitting the ball outside. It was a turn in which David Silva’s frequently used technique called ‘La Pelopinha’ was improved to suit him.

Oh oh. Stoke away fans who followed us all the way to Selhurst Park made a sound of admiration.

To-wook. Then Jamie showed off a through pass that skillfully passed between the opposing defenders, and everyone rose from their seats.

“go! go!”

“Up, Keating!”

Stoke away fans, and the coaches sitting on the bench shouted at Keating.

Keating glanced inside the penalty box and fired a cross towards Harry, who was positioned in the center.

puck-

Harry managed to hit the ball right on his head.
