77.

[ Jamie Lee joins Stoke City ]

[Stoke City, bring back the local boy. ]

[Stoke City embraces the ‘dark-haired fantasy star’. ]

One day, Jamie transferred to Stoke City.

‘uh? Why does he come here?’

Robin knew Jamie.

We talked about him when he was in the youth team, and even after he moved to Germany, we heard about him through articles.

it’s a great talent envy. I even thought of that in my heart.

‘I’m sure you’ll do well?’

Robin wished Jamie well. Stoke City was home to Robin. I hoped that the new family would settle in well and make the house a better place.

‘Let’s hope that the freshman becomes a real fantasy star.’

Charlie Adam, the director at the time, had this to say.

Fortunately, Jamie turned out to be a real fantasy star.

[Jamie Lee proves that he is a ‘fantasy star’. ]

[‘Again’ Jamie Lee, hat-trick blast. ]

[My team’s top scorer, Jamie Lee, saves Stoke City again]

Since his transfer, the team has undergone a very big change.

Brian and Harry have improved markedly. The team went from League One to the Championship and from the Championship to the Premier League.

Players like Ned Keating and Kaneshiro Kay, who would have been unimaginable before, have transferred.

‘Damien Manibel?’

Same with Damien.

It’s not to the point of ‘unimaginable’, but it was a player that would have been difficult to recruit if it had been Stoke City before Jamie came. Stoke City were in League One, Damien was in the Champions League and he was a promising prospect who was interested in several Premier League clubs.

‘It’s a good recruit.’

Robin, who truly loved the team beyond just playing for Stoke City, was very happy with that fact.

However, there was one problem. It was that Damian was a player whose position overlapped with Robin.

‘Yes, I’m sure it’s not enough.’

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand. With Mikel leaving the team, it was difficult to digest the league with just one Robin.

“Today’s starter is Damien Manible.”

That’s how Robin was excluded from the Chelsea game.

[Ah, Damien Manibel, who played as a starter, is out and Robin Price is in. ]

[Gool! Substitute Robin Price scores the key goal! ]

Fortunately, he announced his health by scoring a goal after being substituted, but the problem has not been resolved yet.

[Robin Price, how to break up with Stoke City? ]

It was that the club did not say anything even though the renewal of the contract was only 7 months away.

Robin, who had renewed his contract every year, had no choice but to be anxious.

Damien’s age is 23 years old, if he doesn’t transfer, he was old enough to lead Stoke City for the next 10 years.

Robin, on the other hand, was 33 years old. Now is the time to prepare for real retirement.

It could have been a natural decision for the club to terminate the contract with Robin.

‘Should I prepare my mind soon?’

I thought I was ready to retire.

If I couldn’t contribute to the team, I thought I could retire tomorrow.

But······.

‘I want to run a little more.’

‘I think I can still do more.’

I kept thinking like that.

‘Have you changed your mind since you came? Or is it because he believes he can still help the team?’

I couldn’t tell. What mattered was that he wanted to play more for Stoke City.

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

Might as well take less money. No, it didn’t matter if I didn’t get it at all. I wanted to play for Stoke City just a little longer, just one more year, and hear the cheers of the fans.

“Robin, would you like to learn a shooting fake?”

Around the time Robin recognized the fact himself, Jamie made such a suggestion out of the blue.

Time flies, before Liverpool FC.

After the opponent’s corner kick attack failed, Stoke City faced an opportunity to counterattack.

“Harry Harry!”

Robin started running.

I glanced back and saw Jamie, who had received Harry’s pass, crossed the half line.

‘done.’

Even though the opponents are Liverpool, Jamie can create chances.

Robyn, whose faith in him was certain, was relieved and went deeper.

Two-Duc.

Indeed, Jamie knocked the rushing midfielder off with a flip flap. Then, the ball was pulled out between the crotches of the next player who was pressing hard.

pug.

But, is it because he took the ball out between his crotch?

The opposing midfielder almost kicked Jamie’s back foot.

It was a blatant and malicious foul.

Beep-bibbic. The referee hurriedly blew the whistle and declared a foul.

“Hey!”

“What are you doing, bastard!”

Robin, who was running ahead, and Harry, who were following, approached the other player in anger.

“calm down.”

Jamie raised his hand and stopped Robin and Harry. The person who was fouled wants to calm down, but is there anything special? Robin glared at the opponent and went back to his seat.

He fouled openly on the counterattack opportunity. The opposing player was given a warning as if it were natural.

Unfortunately, Stoke City’s free kick was over, and the right of attack went back to Liverpool.

“Ralph, help Keating!”

Liverpool on the right.

“KK! Watch the space behind you!”

left.

“Nice clearing! Well done, Sancho!”

I tried to attack in several ways, including the center, but could not score.

The first half ended 0-0.

“Fortunately, I didn’t concede.”

Anfield away team locker room.

“Not conceding is good news, but on the other hand, we didn’t score either.”

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

Manager Milo Conrad looked around the squad and said.

‘Is it being replaced?’

Robin expected so.

‘I don’t want to be replaced.’

At the same time, I felt that way.

“I would like to change the attacking line.”

As if reading Robin’s anxiety, Milo immediately continued.

rattle.

When I heard those words, I felt as if my heart sank about 1 cm.

“Ralph is out and Damien is in. Excluding midfielders and adding more strikers will put more pressure on the defense. Harry, please come down further.”

‘Oh, am I not into it?’

Robin was surprised rather than relieved.

“Liverpool’s central defenders are not very tall. When Damien is put in, the opponent has no choice but to be nervous. We have to play to our advantage.”

After Milo said that, he turned his gaze to Robin.

“Robin Price, do you understand?”

“···Yes.”

Why did you mention Jamie by pointing at me? Robin was puzzled, but Milo left the locker room without further explanation.

The second half started soon.

“Sancho, cover!”

“Harry! what are you doing. Go down further!”

The increase in the number of strikers was disappointing, and at the start of the second half, Stoke City began to be greatly pushed back.

[ Ahhh! ]

This has led to a lot of lamentation by Liverpool home fans. If the Liverpool striker had been a better class player than ‘Colin Weaver’, he would have scored two or three goals already.

Stoke City didn’t let go either. To be precise, Jamie started rampaging more aggressively.

Beyond beating three or four Liverpool players alone, he actively used provocative techniques such as nutmeg, commonly referred to as ‘knowledge’.

“Chief! Foul!”

“Hey! This is too much!”

Whether it’s because of that or ‘thanks to’, the number of fouls by Liverpool players has increased.

Just like that too.

A player committed a near-body foul towards Jamie as he pulled the ball through his crotch and was cautioned.

‘uh?’

Robin’s eyes widened slightly.

The opposing defensive midfielder and central midfielder each received one yellow card.

Both players have a lot of contact with Jamie.

‘The current might come to us.’

C-Ah!

In the midst of such thoughts, Jamie’s free kick hit the post as if to prove that fact.

‘The flow comes.’

‘Surely, an opportunity will come to us.’

Afterwards, even as Liverpool pushed Stoke City hard, Robin did not doubt.

And······.

“Aagh!”

In the 20th minute of the second half, the opposing defensive midfielder, who continued to play rough against Jamie, was sent off.

‘done!’

11 v 10. This increased the possibility that the flow of the game would go over to Stoke City.

Beep-. After a while, the Liverpool bench replaced striker Colin Weaver, who showed an ambiguous performance, and put in a fast-footed winger. And lowered the entire defensive line. As long as one player is missing, the usual forward pressure tactic was abandoned and the player defense was changed to a counterattack tactic.

Conversely, Stoke City tried a more compact attack. Kaneshiro Kei-KK puts an early cross on Damien. In preparation for this, as Liverpool strengthened their central defense, Jamie fired a mid-range shot and drew out the players concentrated in the center.

‘Just a little more, a little more.’

Stoke City’s decisive opportunity will soon come. Robin, who has an eye for the game, could guess that fact without difficulty.

And in the 38th minute of the second half, the ‘decisive opportunity’ finally came.

Read from noble mtl dot com

Liverpool defenders had no choice but to come forward to Jamie’s continued mid-range shooting, which loosened the inside of the penalty box.

“K!”

Damien raises his hand, and KK crosses high towards him.

Robin quickly identified the positions of the defenders.

Two central defenders and a taller central midfielder.

One of them is marking himself.

After completing his grasp, Robin pretended to move in front of the player who was marking him, but instead pulled himself back.

In the meantime, two players surrounded Damien.

‘Shooting is impossible.’

As expected by Robin, Damien succeeded in winning the ball, but failed to connect it with a shot. Instead, he dropped the ball towards Jamie, who was behind him.

Jamie also couldn’t shoot right away because there were so many players in the center.

‘Jay!’

Robin was about to shout.

But Jamie passed right before he could shout, without even looking where he was.

Took.

The ball went straight to Robin’s feet.

The defender who was marking him blocked the front with his arms behind his back as if he were holding his hands behind his back. His intention was to block the shot with his body.

‘Robin, do you know how to flip flaps?’

‘uh? suddenly? Ha, I know how to do it. But I’ve never been successful in combat.’

‘That’s all right. You don’t have to make it successful. You just need to understand the principle.’

Following Jamie’s advice at the training ground, Robin moved his right foot outward and then inward as if doing a flip flap.

The movements were very slow and clumsy.

The opponent was Liverpool’s main defender, of course he wasn’t fooled.

‘doesn’t care.’

‘No, I rather like it.’

Robin moved the ball to his left foot, then kicked his left foot back as if he were going to shoot.

When the painting doesn’t work, I just shoot right away. It was important for the other person to recognize this.

Indeed, the opponent turned his body at the expected shooting angle.

‘done.’
