Romantic on the Field

76.

It is difficult to single out one of the best professional leagues. This is because the evaluation criteria are different for each person.

But if you were to pick ‘the most competitive league’, nine out of ten would pick the Premier League.

The Premier League was a league in which a strong team could lose to a weak team at any time, and a league in which a weak team could create a surprise against a strong team at any time.

However, in the Premier League, as in other leagues, it was very difficult for the promoted team to achieve good results right away. Exactly, it was rare.

Statistically, the highest ranking in the first season of promotion is 20th. After that, of course, the 19th and 18th places.

ㄴ [ Vote for asepyi** – Chelsea fan ]

ㄴ [drawcu** – As a fan of another team, I’m just envious]

b [newalw** – That’s right. Everyone seems to admit that Stoke City’s momentum is great these days]

Since it is still early in the season, there was also a reaction to refrain from making hasty judgments. But most were genuinely surprised by Stoke City’s performance. In a way, it was a natural reaction.

[The key to Stoke City’s winning streak is Jamie Lee]

[Lee scored another wonder goal against Leicester City]

[Wonder goal that impressed the opposing team, standing ovation from Leicester City supporters]

[‘Every goal is a wonder goal’, Jamie Lee’s multi-goal against Leicester City 2-0 win]

Of course, there were also favorable reviews for Jamie, who is at the center of it.

Besides, it was still August, before the summer transfer window closed.

[Manchester City fans ask the club to ‘resign’]

[ Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich. Interest from big clubs outside of England]

As if it were natural, rumors of Jamie’s transfer poured in again.

[ lee. are you moving? ]

Accordingly, Jamie received a call from Agent John after a long time.

“no.”

[ yes. Then renew the contract? ]

“uh.”

[There was no surprise transfer, Jamie Lee signed a renewal contract. ]

[ (Official) Jamie Lee stays in Stoke City. ]

[ ‘Estimated £160,000’, more than twice the weekly wage “jumping” ]

Jamie had no reason to reject the contract. The contract was renewed immediately.

The amount was equivalent to 160,000 pounds – 250 million Korean won, as the press expected. Last year’s contract renewal amount was around £70,000 including all options, so it couldn’t be anything but an unconventional amount.

[ freema** – Official is out!!!! Lee re-contract!!! ]

[ mintcw** – Scream!!!! ]

[ grawaa** – Of course I thought I would do it, but… I was nervous, but now I feel relieved. I’m so glad. Thank you Lee! ]

[ deeppa** – How long has it been since you renewed your contract? Does the club have any money left? ]

ㄴ [freema** – Yeah~ A Leicester City fan who couldn’t recruit Lee because he didn’t have that money and went to Gyeonggi-do]

ㄴ [ noener** – If you’re a real Stoke City fan, you know the fact that money is surplus, right? Except for the recruiting of KK this time, I hardly spend any money]

b [ makesr** – That’s right. And Chairman Choi of Big Hand originally has a lot of money. Fools like you always make money on bet 777]

You might think that the team you support is spending unnecessary money, but most Stoke City fans are genuinely happy that Jamie has renewed his contract.

“J has renewed his contract this time. The reaction from the fans was good.”

Brian said, looking at Jamie.

Instead of answering, Jamie shrugged lightly.

Stoke City Training Ground.

Right after the ‘Stoke City Personal Training Meet’, we were training as usual and chatting before going home.

“of course. It’s not anyone else, it’s Jamie.”

Harry answered for Jamie.

“The news of Harry’s renewal of the contract was also well received?”

“I’m just pretending to like you out of loyalty.”

There is a sense of being buried in the news of Jamie’s renewal of the contract, but Harry also renewed the contract this time.

Harry’s contract period was 4 years.

It was natural for him to renew the contract as he was from youth and kept his starting position all the way through League One and Championship to the Premier League.

“By the way, when will Robin renew his contract?”

Brian asked, turning his gaze to Robin.

“hahahaha, well.”

Robin smiled awkwardly.

‘That idiot is talking ignorantly again.’

A situation where an excellent striker named Damien Manibel was recruited in the same position. Although he is using a new tactic called an asymmetric 4-4-2, he could always go back to one top.

Robin, who was old and had only a short contract period left, was bound to be anxious in many ways.

Besides, isn’t Robin more affectionate and loyal to the team than anyone else?

“Robin.”

Jamie pondered what to say, then stood up.

“yes?”

“Do you want to learn a shooting fake?”

That’s why I made that suggestion out of the blue.

“······uh?”

It was a proposal made after thinking of a solution in its own way, but to Robin, there was a high possibility that it would sound out of the blue.

“suddenly?”

He looked up at Jamie with a blank face.

Liverpool FC’s home stadium, Anfield.

About 10 minutes into the game, Jamie thought Liverpool were the favorites.

The match going on now is the 4th round of the Premier League. Liverpool FC v Stoke City.

The current share is approximately 7 to 3.

Of course, Liverpool was the former.

‘I think I know why they wanted to recruit me.’

Read from noble mtl dot com

Liverpool was a team that played classic football.

When in possession of the ball, build up slowly from the rear without trying to attack too much. Then, if the center is empty, they attack in the center, and if the side is empty, they pass to the winger and attempt a cross. Occasionally, if the opponent’s defense is too centered, he will try a bold mid-range shot. It couldn’t have been a standard attack development.

Conversely, when the opponent possessed the ball, they exerted strong pressure from the front. However, this, like the attack deployment, was not overdoing it. I just applied the pressure to the point where my opponent couldn’t comfortably launch an attack.

This process proceeded in a very natural flow, as most strong teams do, and there seemed to be no part of the process to be distracted or to look for loopholes.

The only regret was that there was no clear ‘fixer’ in the team.

There was an English striker named Colin Weaver, but he did not live up to the reputation of the team called Liverpool. He was a player who would have been released a long time ago if it had not been for the English nationality and the team’s youth background premium.

This is why Liverpool were interested in Jamie. Even though his position was not a striker, he was a player who surely produced results anyway.

“Sancho, nice tackle!”

It’s the same now.

In the penalty box against Vincent Herrero-Sancho, he lost the ball while trying to break through a clumsy dribble.

“Hey.”

Jamie quickly raised his hand.

It wasn’t a clear counterattack opportunity, but it was still a situation where the opponent hadn’t properly managed the formation yet. It seemed like it would be a good idea to try an attack before settling down.

Two-woong.

Sancho immediately gave a long pass to Jamie, and Jamie kept the ball cleanly avoiding the opposing midfielder who was close to him.

Two-Duc.

He then stripped him off with a phantom dribble and crossed the half line.

[ Oh oh! ]

[ lee! lee! ]

[ run! ]

The away fans exclaimed or cheered.

‘Brian.’

Jamie, who was aware of the position in advance, gave the ball to Brian running from the left halfspace.

Brian waited for Ned Keating overlapping from the left and Jamie running near him, and when the defense pressed up, he gave the ball back to Jamie without straining.

Two-Duc. The scene from before was replayed again. The Liverpool midfielder presses Jamie, and Jamie beats the opponent with a phantom dribble.

Another player immediately pressed on, but it didn’t matter.

‘Now.’

It’s enough to stab Robin with a through pass as he runs behind the defenders.

[ Ahhh! ]

Robin succeeded in catching the ball, but could not avoid the defender’s tackle. The ball was lost right away, and the Stoke fans sitting in the away table sighed.

“Nice pass.”

Robin gave Jamie a thumbs up. Jamie nodded, and held up a finger.

‘As expected, line breaking alone is difficult.’

Jamie had always thought that Robin’s line-breaking would work in the Premier League.

However, just because it works in the Premier League doesn’t mean that it works for all teams in the Premier League.

It was difficult to break through a strong team’s defense with just a simple line breaking if it was not accompanied by a dribble breakthrough, a mid-range shot, or a surprise move.

“Harry, come out!”

“this! Sancho!”

Stoke City, who failed to take advantage of the first chance they had after the start of the game, faced a crisis right away.

After the opponent’s central midfielder penetrated Harry, he stabbed a good pass to Colin Weaver, who was nestled in the penalty box.

Colin Weaver fired the shot without hesitation.

puck.

Fortunately, Sancho hurriedly reached out and blocked the shot.

[ Woah-ooh ]

Liverpool fans clenched their heads in disappointment.

“The right to attack is still with the opponent! Concentrate and check your mark opponent!”

Liverpool corner kick.

As the players made their way to their seats, Jamie walked towards Robin.

“Robin.”

“ok?”

“Next.”

next.

“···yes.”

It was a short word, but Robin understood Jamie’s words right away.

Beep-.

The Liverpool midfielder, who had just penetrated Harry, fired a corner kick.

It was Stoke City who seldom conceded goals in set-piece situations except for the opponent’s surprise-precisely promised play.

Same this time.

“great!”

“Nice clearing, Mutombo!”

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 made use of his tall height to easily cut off the opponent’s corner kick.

“Harry Harry!”

Harry picked up a loose ball, and Jamie saw it, called Harry, and started running without looking back.

‘great.’

I looked ahead and saw Robin running too.

‘Old man, show me you’re not dead yet.’

Jamie thought to himself and sped up.
