Romantic on the Field

Chapter 68

68.

[We will be with you, we will be with you. ]

[We will always be together. ]

[ city! city! ]

The point ahead of the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Jamie looked at the home fans who were chanting enthusiastically.

Standing on the field and watching them before the game has become almost a routine.

“Jay.”

“He’s doing that again.”

At that moment, Brian, the best idiot on the team, and Robin, the lesser idiot – a step down from ‘the only sane person’ – approached and started talking.

“Now tell me honestly. do you really care? In fact, it’s like a confirmation.”

“What else?”

“hahahahaha, Brian is right. Today is not the last game.”

The ‘virtually confirmed’ that Brian and Robin say was the highest scoring record in a single season.

Jamie’s scoring record is 40 goals, and his highest goal scorer record is 43 goals.

A tie record is three goals, and a new record needs four more goals. With more than four games left in the current league, it was easy to set a new record by scoring just one goal per game for the rest of the schedule.

Of course, ‘one goal per game’ was not as easy as it sounds. Even if he scored not just one goal, but half of that, or 0.5 goals, he could be regarded as one of the best players in the league.

But at least it wasn’t too difficult for Jamie, and Brian and Robin knew it, so they scolded him like this.

“Jamie, think about the interview beforehand.”

“Jamie Lee, you set a record that will go down in the history of football. How do you feel?”

“Oh, I don’t care.”

At the fuss between the two, Jamie let out a big smile.

“Jamie, you only have one mission today.”

To say the end, I heard this from manager Charlie Adam in the locker room.

“Just focus on scoring goals. Don’t even join the defense. Okay?”

It was said that achieving a new record by scoring four or more goals today also means accurately following the coach’s instructions.

However, it might have been a few days ago, right before the game, he didn’t care about the new record.

[ lee! Do you hit yourself? ]

[Gool! Jamie Lee scores the first goal! ]

[A surprise shooting in a situation where there is no angle! What a great goal! ]

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Nonetheless, Jamie ran into the net as soon as he scored the opening goal with a surprise shot without an angle.

“Jay, Jay!”

“You scored from that angle? That madman!”

The teammates rushed over excitedly, but Jamie shook them off and picked up the ball rolling on the floor.

“yes?”

“Where is he going?”

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Next, Jamie took the ball to Center Mark.

This was where the kick-off took place.

At the same time, Reflex Henry Club.

[I can’t believe it, it’s a great competitive spirit! Jamie Lee, despite scoring the opening goal early in the game, you pick up the ball yourself and put it on the center mark! Commentator Sam Glucas, how should we interpret this? ]

[I think it is an expression of the will to confirm the championship soon. ]

[I can’t believe it. His competitive spirit is truly phenomenal! ]

[hahahaha, that’s right. Now let me be honest. These are the reasons why I like Jamie Lee. ]

“Kuaa!”

At the broadcaster’s words, Kane let out a scalding exclamation.

“That’s a pro. That’s the root!”

ta-ang. Then he set down the beer mug he was holding.

“But, hasn’t this happened before?”

“uh?”

“I mean Lee. I was winning, but I picked up the ball myself and put it on the center mark.”

“Right, what kind of game was that…”

“That doesn’t really matter. The important thing is that Jamie Lee is a player with a great competitive spirit. There should be at least one or two players like that on the team. A strong competitive spirit has a positive effect on the motivation of the entire team.”

The people nearby responded to Kane’s words and talked to each other.

“But why are you silent?”

Cain asked, glancing at Sean.

“what.”

“As usual, I have to worship idols like Lee and that. Why are you not saying anything?”

“…what is idolatry?”

Sean raised one corner of his mouth. But the eyes weren’t laughing.

‘Would that be?’

Soccer was the field that Sean spent the most time in his life after music.

To him, the current tactics of Stoke City looked extremely poor.

Block Wolverhampton Wanderers’ attacker ‘SOS’ simply by lowering the defensive line.

And the attack is left to Jamie.

‘Isn’t that a naive idea?’

‘I scored the opening goal, but can I keep the victory for 90 minutes with just this?’

‘Can you call this a tactic?’

there was.

[ Jamie Lee, running again! ]

[ Lee, Lee······. ]

[Jamie Lee breaks the side of Wolverhampton! ]

“What is it, Lee again?”

Kane, who was watching TV, jumped up from his seat.

that became a sign The people in the club got up one by one, and Sean had to stand up because he had to look at the screen.

[Ned Keating runs again on the opposite side. ]

[The situation with Robin Price in the middle… ]

[ How is Jamie Lee doing? Do you cross up? ah! Break through directly! One, two, my God, unbelievable! Fools three defenders in an instant! ]

Just like when he scored the opening goal, Jamie pushed through the defenders from the right flank all the way to the penalty box.

And······.

[ Lee, shoot…! ]

[I’m in! gool! Goal! Jamie Lee hits Wolverhampton’s net once more! ]

[Hey, that’s really great. Stoke City doesn’t seem to need an offensive tactic at all. Jamie Lee, he’s the tactic! ]

Jamie scored his 42nd goal in the league and the second as the team moved one step closer to winning the league.

“eee-YeeeA!”

“GOOO-AL!”

“Leee!

“Aww! lee! lee!”

And at the shouts that filled the club, Sean suddenly came to his senses.

“hahahaha! Sean! saw? Did you see it? Lee is a god! He is the only god in Stoke-on-Trent!”

In the meantime, Kane was so excited that he was pouring out words that the pastor shouldn’t have said.

“Jay, you crazy bastard!”

“Where else are you going!”

“ha ha ha! look at that! Because you care!”

There was no new record in Jamie’s head as he headed toward the center mark with the ball.

score a goal and win

It was just these two thoughts.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No, before these two thoughts, there was one fundamental idea underlying both his conscious and unconscious mind.

‘Hanna.’

He glanced at the relay camera.

For her sake, to keep his promise to her, today he planned to go over to the Wolverhampton camp again and again.

“Lida!”

“Stop! Drive it to the side!”

After that, Jamie made several more threatening moves. Unfortunately, however, the goal was not scored, and soon the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the first half.

“Jamie. Is it worth it?”

The locker room again.

Director Charlie cut back and forth and asked such a question out of the blue.

“Yes.”

It was a rather vague question, but Jamie didn’t say much either.

It was worth it. I thought I could score more goals.

“great. The second half goes like this.”

That was the end of the locker room conversation.

If it ends like this, it will be the first Premier League advance in 21 years. let’s all do our best He was supposed to say that, but Charlie just walked out of the locker room coolly.

Jamie also made his way up the field, through the locker rooms and corridors, with a calm mind.

Beep-big.

The second half begins soon, and Wolverhampton exerted strong pressure from the front, just like the last Stoke City opponents.

‘Then I’d allow more space in the back.’

I thought so, but I understood Wolverhampton’s position.

They are already losing by two goals. It was a situation where it was more important to score a comeback goal even if the risk of an additional goal was taken.

Of course, it didn’t matter much if Jamie understood their situation or not.

“Sancho!”

12 minutes into the second half.

Jamie raised his hand after seeing Vincent Herrero-Sancho catch a loose ball.

Two-woong. He made a long pass right away, and Jamie crossed the half line at the same time as he passed the opposing defensive midfielder with just two touches.

But, that was it. Unlike the first half, I did not drive the ball directly to the front of the penalty box.

‘I can’t keep walking in vain.’

He turned the pass to overlapping Ned Keating. The left side was also empty.

[ Ned Keating runs! ]

[ Ned Keating on the left, Jamie Lee on the right. Wolverhampton defenders seem to be very difficult. ]

Keating is running down the left flank, and Jamie is running on the other side. And in the center are Brian and Robin.

It was a catastrophic situation for the Wolverhampton defense.

Then, as Keating approached the goal line, Jamie, who was running to the right, suddenly changed the direction he was running.

With this, three players, Brian, Robin, and Jamie, entered the penalty box.

“Up!”

Immediately, Keating stepped back with his left foot as if he was about to cross.

“Lida!”

“Stop Jamie Lee!”

At that moment, the Wolverhampton coaches shouted, and the defense left Brian and Robin in the danger zone and all stuck to Jamie.

‘Look at these.’

Although it was a fleeting moment, Jamie was genuinely impressed. In this situation, the determination of Wolverhampton, who boldly gave up all other attackers and ‘all-in’ to himself, felt great.

The Wolverhampton defense immediately surrounded him.

In front is Gerson Mosquera, the core of the defense, another central defender diagonally, and a fullback in the back.

Even if he caught the ball, it would not be easy to continue shooting.

puck. Finally Keating crosses.

The ball flew right past Brian and Robin in front of Jamie.

Jamie stretched out his left foot and caught the ball stably. But the next problem was shooting. Regardless of which foot was kicked, whether it was strong or accurate, there seemed to be a high probability of being hit by the body of the defenders surrounding him. Because all angles are blocked.

‘pass?’

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No, that didn’t seem like a good choice either. In Brian’s case, he was across the offside line, and when he passed to Robin, he was about to be caught by the goalkeeper.

‘Do it yourself.’

In this case, you have to be caught off guard.

Jamie, who intuitively recalled the law of destruction, did not hesitate. I crossed my right foot, which was my stepping foot, behind my left foot.

Took.

The Wolverhampton defense and goalkeeper got the ball sucked into the goal at a completely unexpected timing and at an angle they never expected.

“…!”

Goal with a Rabona kick while surrounded by three defenders.

In a scene that was hard to believe even after seeing it with the naked eye, Bet 777 Stadium was enveloped in silence for a moment.

[ eee-YEE-aaa! ]

The silence did not last long.

“Ouch! Jay! What else have you done!”

“That crazy bastard!”
