Romantic on the Field

[The English Premier League ahead of the opening. Will Manchester City win anyway? ]

[The English Premier League kicks off this season with the match between Chelsea FC and Stoke City. The team that is considered a strong contender for the championship is definitely Manchester City. (Omitted) Other favorites to win include Liverpool FC and Newcastle United. (omission) ]

[ Who is the main character of the opening game? EPL traditional powerhouse Chelsea FC and promoted team Stoke City. ]

[Last season’s ‘team of the topic’ Stoke City, what was the performance in the Premier League? ]

[The core of Stoke City is definitely ‘Jamie Lee’]

[‘A team with no reason to pay attention except for Lee’, Stoke City with the lowest probability of winning in statistical media]

[Stoke City, will the ‘Jamie Lee one-man team’ shake off the stigma? ]

[The point of watching the opening game is ‘spear and shield?’ ]

[‘Jamie Lee’, who broke the record for the most goals in a single season last year’s championship, and ‘Roger Barrett’, England’s national defender, ‘attention’ ]

[ phont** – Didn’t the spear and shield change? Stoke City is the window? Sincerity? ]

[ backn** – That’s right. It’s a match between a promoted team and a team that has advanced to the continental competition. What kind of spear and shield are they? ]

[ bornw** – Stoke is perfect for the championship ]

[playm** – Championship + Jamie Lee Isn’t it a one-man team? Is the reporter ignorant? ]

Finally, the opening day of the Premier League has arrived.

“Honey, have a good trip.”

“yes. Don’t fight with Kai and have a good time.”

“Why am I fighting with Kai? shocking.”

Jamie kissed Hannah lightly and got into the car.

It was the time before an important game, but the commute to work was no different than usual.

‘Who is going to be the starting pitcher today?’

However, as soon as I got into the car, I immediately thought about today’s match.

Damien Manable, and Kaneshiro Kay.

Stoke City signed two players at the start of the summer transfer window.

Originally, the transfer student would not be immediately selected as a starter, but Stoke City has just been promoted from the Championship.

It was a very common case for a promoted team to use a high-quality player as a starter immediately after signing it, so the possibility of a change in the Stoke City starting lineup seemed very high today.

First of all, the right fullback seemed to be confirmed as Kaneshiro Kei-KK.

The problem was the forward striker.

It was unknown who would start, Damian or Robin.

If you only look at grades, it was Damian. He scored two more goals than Robin in the Championship last season.

Two goals in the same league. Although it may seem like nothing, in reality it is not.

This is because Damien played for Coventry, a mid-tier team in the league, and Robin played for Stoke, the league champions.

Besides, Stoke City has Jamie.

If they had played for a team of the same level, at least if Jamie had been in Coventry, the goal difference between the two players would have been much greater.

However, there were many variables to judge based on simple records.

A typical example of this was the fact that Damien had not fully integrated into the team yet, and that he was not originally a player with good teamwork.

[ A collection of selfish plays by Damien Manible of Coventry City ]

ㄴ [bornw** – I’m a fan of another team, but I wanted to lose it the whole time I was watching the video. How are the Coventry fans? ]

ㄴ [betma** – Damian fan, but I want to lose it]

To the extent that videos and articles are uploaded from time to time.

In fact, even in the team practice game a few days ago, Damien did not pass a single pass to his teammates.

‘What choice will Milo make?’

Former manager Charlie Adam was the type to respect individual players’ personalities a lot. So, if he were still a manager, Damien Manibel would be more likely to start today.

However, we still haven’t figured out what type of current manager Milo Conrad is.

“Today’s starter is Damien Manible.”

After a while, the away team’s locker room at Stamford Bridge, home stadium of Chelsea FC.

‘It was similar to Charlie.’

Jamie thought to himself.

“However, there are things Manibel should keep in mind.”

ta-ang. Milo slapped the whiteboard with his palm, just as Charlie had done before him.

“You know that you are famous for your self-righteous play, right?”

“…”

Damian affirmed silently.

“It’s teamwork and nabal, and I will only score goals. It doesn’t matter if you go into the game with this mindset. Because strikers speak in goals. But if not, you should at least show an effort to help the team. It may sound obvious, but whether or not you can actually do it is another matter. score a goal Or help the team. One of these two must be fulfilled.”

As long as you score a lot of goals, it doesn’t matter if you act like a single player. If you don’t have the confidence to do that, melt into the team.

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

Milo’s words could be summarized in the above two sentences.

“Jamie Lee downstairs and Brian Lekca on the left. And then…”

There was another change. As Jamie expected, the right fullback was also replaced by former member Troy by KK.

“It is the opening game. Please reassure football fans that Stoke City are also playing in the Premier League.”

After saying that, Milo left the locker room.

‘They look cool too.’

Jamie almost burst out laughing.

“Now, the vice-captain says something.”

After a while, Captain Oliver looked at Jamie and said.

“…no, I’ll do it again?”

The smile disappeared from Jamie’s face.

“Vice-captain. Didn’t you even think about the opening remarks?”

“ha ha ha.”

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

Meanwhile, all the other players burst into laughter.

Last week, Jamie was appointed the new vice-captain.

It was even more meaningful that he was appointed over Robin Price, who had been active in Stoke for nearly 10 years, and Harry Harris, who was from youth and never came down from the starting position after being called up to an adult team.

“…”

However, the person concerned felt unfamiliar and awkward with the current situation.

In his previous life, Jamie was a journeyman who had never been on a team for more than two years, regardless of his ability, so he was never included in the captaincy. In a way, it was natural that it was unfamiliar and awkward.

“What, did you really not think?”

“Wow, even for Jamie, this is a bit.”

As the new vice-captain hesitated, several players cracked jokes.

“I saw an article on the way.”

Jamie got lucky after much trouble.

“Stoke City is a Jamie Lee one-man team.”

Then he looked around the team and said.

“He said.”

“What are you bragging about?”

“No way.”

Jamie’s gaze shifted from Oliver to Robin, then back to Harry. Then it led to Ralph, Mutombo, and Sancho.

“Today, let’s prove that article is wrong.”

After making eye contact with each and every member of the team, he said with a little bit of spleen.

“······by the way.”

The locker room fell silent for a moment.

“Doesn’t that sound completely wrong?”

It was Brian who broke the silence.

“It’s true that Jamie is the best.”

Robin agreed.

“That’s right.”

“right. You’re doing too well alone.”

Other players agreed.

“Yes, think as you like.”

Jamie could only shake his head.

“ha ha ha. Jamie is right. Breaking people’s expectations is our specialty. Let’s try it again today. Come on, let’s go. Stoke.”

“Stoke! Stoke!”

However, a joke is just a joke.

The faces of the players leaving the locker room were determined.

‘To come to the real Premier League.’

‘I never thought I’d meet Chelsea in the opening match.’

‘It won’t be much different from the championship. can do.’

‘The claim is correct.’

Tension, immersion, and concentration were clearly visible on his face.

‘Except for one guy.’

In the corridor leading to the field, Jamie glanced at Damien’s profile.

Even though it was his first time playing in the Premier League, Damien’s face looked quite calm.

‘As expected, he’s strong-hearted.’

Jamie smiled inwardly.

A striker must have a big wall. In that sense, Damian’s carefree attitude did not seem particularly ironic.

‘I’ll have to fix the habit in advance.’

However, apart from that, Jamie was thinking of fixing Damien’s habit today.

**

[selfish player]

[ Players who do not pass to teammates ]

[However, a player who cannot do anything without another colleague’s pass]

Unsurprisingly, the Stoke City coaching staff were well aware of Damien’s shortcomings.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Nevertheless, the reason they pushed for Damian was simple.

It was because Jamie was in Stoke City.

“Even in the early stages of the game, the movement is good.”

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

Milo said to head coach Nick in the seat next to him.

“Yes. After all, he is a good player with a natural sense.”

Both Milo, who spoke first, and Nick, who responded, all had their eyes fixed on the field. To be precise, I was looking at Damian, who started today.

“Now Jamie just needs to hit a good pass.”

“hahahaha, yes.”

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Nick tried to laugh and reply, but he was actually quite uneasy on the inside.

‘Isn’t the director really worried?’

Premier League Opening Day. The opponent is a strong team representing London. Plus away matches.

He could be nervous, no, he was nervous, but there was no sign of that on Milo’s face.

“Oh, it runs. Jamie runs. hahahaha.”

“…”

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Nick thought Milo was a ‘real man’ kind of like Charlie. But looking at it now, the two seemed a little different. If Charlie was a cool real man, Milo seemed a little closer to madness.

“lee!”

“Look ahead!”

When Jamie crossed the half line, the coaching staff got busy.

The same goes for Damien, who was wandering around in front.

He immediately raised his arm and asked for a pass.

‘uh?’

Jamie didn’t pass.

There was no way Jamie, who boasted a phenomenal field of view beyond the usual wide range, could not fail to see Damien.

Even Damian’s location was good.

‘Why?’

Seeing the scene, Nick felt a sense of wonder.

“Oh oh!”

In the meantime, Jamie used techniques such as back shot and drag back as usual to break through the defense by himself and reach the vicinity of the penalty box.

Just in time for that, Damien raised his hand again.

It was a too blatant move, but the timing and positioning were so good that it was enough to make a pass even if it was checked by the defense.

However, this time, Jamie’s choice was not to pass.

puck-.

The shot was fired even though there were quite a few players in the penalty box.

“Ahh!”

The away fans and Stoke City coaches who came all the way to Stamford Bridge let out a sigh.

The shot, which seemed to be sucked toward the goal, was hit by Roger Barrett, the key player in Chelsea’s defense, who appeared before he knew it.

“It’s okay, good job!”

The coaches cheered Jamie up by clapping their hands.

“Lee, that was a good try!”

Same goes for Nick.

‘Still, I was overpowered.’

Isn’t it the opening game of the Premier League beyond the first game after promotion? No matter how bold Stoke City had so many players, it was only natural to feel intimidated.

In that sense, that shot just seemed like a good choice for the purpose of reminding us that ‘yes, we have Jamie’.

Like all sports, soccer is a mental sport.

It was a matter of course that a team full of confidence had a higher chance of winning.

But······.

“stick!”

“Don’t back down!”

Contrary to Nick’s thoughts, Stoke City faced a crisis shortly after.

Unlike Stoke, which relied on Jamie’s individual skills, Chelsea moved forward metallurgically from the center through organized pass play, and at some point, the side players came in.

A surprise diagonal penetration into halfspace.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No matter how much the players showed impenetrable defense in the championship, there is no business in a surprise attack.

Stoke City conceded a shot from close range.

“Oliver!”

“Nice save!”

Fortunately, goalkeeper Oliver made a save and did not lead to a goal.

‘Whiyu.’

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Nick got up from his seat, sighed in relief, and sat back down.

“lee!”

But I had to get up again soon.

“Jamie! go up!”

Also because Jamie started running.

“Jamie! go up!”

Also because Jamie started running.

“Don’t run!”

“Keep your distance! Close the angle inside the penalty box!”

The Chelsea bench has also been busy.

Two-woong.

Of course, just because the coaching staff became busy didn’t change anything.

Jamie boldly tried to break through, as if it was no different whether the opponent was League One, Championship or Premier League.

“…!”

They easily beat the defenders.

“lee!”

Damien, who was inside the penalty box, raised his hand. This time, he even shouted and called his name.

When Damien came out like that, this time the attention of the Chelsea defense had no choice but to be diverted.

The same goes for Roger Barrett, who blocked Jamie’s shot with his body earlier.

‘great.’

Jamie kicked the ball hard in the middle.

To be precise, the moment I stepped on my step foot, I gave strength to my foot and kicked it hard at a place slightly below the diagonal from the center.

Per-billion.

With a very dull sound, the ball flew all the way toward the goal without spinning.
