Romantic on the Field

79.

Damien’s acrobatic pass followed by Jamie’s direct shot.

It was a goal that even a non-soccer would say was “cool.”

That Wonder Goal seems to have ignited Ryan’s fighting spirit.

He stared at Jamie as he returned to his camp.

‘Why are you staring at a person’s face like that?’

He looked so openly that it was difficult for Jamie to not notice his gaze.

I would have said a word if victory was likely, but originally, ‘personality’ is worthwhile only when you are winning.

‘I’m going to punch a hole in your face. Stop watching.’

So I just thought to myself and passed him by.

At the beginning of the game, it started to lead with a wonder goal.

The flow was good.

With luck, the promoted team seemed to be able to create a surprise by catching last year’s winning team.

“Mario! Close the gap!”

“Don’t just sit down! go up!”

However, Manchester City was also not an easy opponent. After conceding the opening goal, they fiercely pushed Stoke.

“KK! Don’t blindly follow me! Wait and join Sancho!”

As a result, the Stoke City coaching staff has been busy.

‘Lucca and Ugo.’

Jamie looked at his opponent, who continued to make threatening moves.

The heart of Manchester City’s attack could be said to be Ryan Young and Abel Simon.

However, one or two outstanding players cannot make it to the UEFA Champions League final. Manchester City had several players of class besides these two.

‘Luca Posetto’, who is evaluated as having come down slightly from his prime, but still records double-digit attack points in the league, and ‘Ugo Brill’, whose strength is explosive speed, are examples.

“Sancho, cover the space behind the side!”

Luca and Hugo constantly harass Stoke City’s side. All in all, Ugo’s fast-footed Mark opponent was Kaneshiro Kei-KK. I don’t know anything else, but KK, whose main power is just okay, managed to block Ugo with the help of Vincent Errero, who covered the back space.

‘It’s dangerous if we go on like this.’

If the 3rd line side was the problem, I could go to help, but if the side continued to be robbed, there was nothing Jamie could do. I can only watch the scene with an uneasy feeling.

However, Manchester City’s equalizer came from a slightly unexpected place.

Ryan Young’s mid-range shot from outside the penalty box led to the goal.

[ eee-Yeee! ]

Home fans cheered at the City of Manchester Stadium.

Either way, Ryan ran to get the ball in the net without a goal celebration.

The score is 1 to 1, back to zero.

‘It’s not easy.’

Jamie had a hunch that today’s match would be difficult.

Of course, I couldn’t let go of that.

The difference between Newcastle United and the points in the ranking right below is also almost non-existent. If we lost helplessly today, we couldn’t even guarantee second place in the league.

“Ah-oh!”

“what a waste!”

“Jamie, good job! Keep trying!”

Even in the middle of the millie, I kept trying to create opportunities.

In the 34th minute of the first half, he passed the defender and passed to Damian, but he could not reach it by a span.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, he overcame the opponent’s persistent mark and connected with a shot. However, the goalkeeper’s save did not lead to a goal.

‘Just a little more, a little more!’

There was just 2 percent short of a decisive opportunity.

If you fill that 2 pro and go into the second half with a one-point lead, it couldn’t have been better for Stoke City.

However, it was Manchester City who seized the opportunity.

Regular time is over, and even the 2 minutes of extra time are almost over. Ryan, who received a roving through pass from Abel Simon, calmly shook Stoke City’s net.

This makes the score 2 to 1.

It was Manchester City running away by one point again.

‘ah.’

Beep-big. And almost immediately, the referee announces the end of the first half.

As Jamie, who tried to attack Kkuyeokkku, had no choice but to collapse.

“Hmm, the timing for conceding was not good. I must say I was out of luck.”

Having conceded just before the end of the first half, we have to face the second half with a point behind. You can get the feeling that you start by dropping a point.

As coach Milo said, skill is skill, but luck doesn’t seem to follow.

“Ahhh!”

The bad luck continued in the second half.

In the 14th minute of the second half, Brian received a great pass from Jamie and fired a shot. Unfortunately, the ball narrowly brushed past the goal post.

In the 30th minute of the second half, Jamie, who exchanged 2-to-1 passes with Damien, attempted a kick. However, it was again blocked by the goalkeeper’s save.

In the 41st minute of the second half, Kaneshiro Kei-KK’s cross was successful until Damien hit the head, but it missed the goal.

In the 45th minute of the second half, Jamie succeeded in penetrating four defenses by himself, but he tripped on the defender’s leg just before shooting and fell. The referee checked the VAR, but the result was no foul.

In the meantime, Abel and Ryan, as well as wingers Luca and Hugo, constantly threatened Stoke City’s goal post.

Beep-big. However, the score was not changed and the game ended in a 2-1 victory for Manchester City.

“Lee, I was lucky today.”

After the match, Ryan smiled embarrassed for some reason and talked to me.

“…”

Where did those bloody eyes from earlier go, and he came back as a purebred. Aside from feeling bad about losing, Jamie was a little embarrassed.

“The equalizer earlier was really staggering. Darmian? Did you talk to that player beforehand? Promised play?”

“It’s Damian. It was just spontaneous.”

“Wow, that was an impromptu play? ha ha ha. I am still a long way off.”

“…Don’t undercut your own skills.”

It seemed that the conversation would continue without end if he continued to accept it, so Jamie gave comfort rather than casual consolation.

“Oh yeah. right. You’re learning something new today. Do not undermine your own skills.”

“…”

Jamie shook his head and quickly left his seat. Aside from the fact that the consolation didn’t work, it was because I thought he would propose to change the uniform again.

“Lee, wait! Where? I have to change my uniform!”

Sure enough, Ryan’s cry came from behind.

**

A loss to Manchester City ended Stoke City’s winning streak.

In addition, Stoke City, which had only a ‘win’ until the 7th round, finally had a ‘loss’.

[ Manchester City v Stoke City, final score 2-1 ]

[ First loss since the start of the season, Stoke City fell to second place in the league rankings ]

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

Manchester City were runners-up in the UEFA Champions League last season. Few would criticize Stoke City for losing against such a team.

[“I lost, but I fought well.” Stoke City’s unexpected promotion ]

[ Ryan Young, selected as MOM, ‘I learned a lot from Jamie Lee today.’ Sudden Jamie Lee praise ]

[ aromay** – All the players who have worked hard and the coaches who have come up with great strategies deserve praise. ]

It wasn’t almost non-existent, it was non-existent. No, there were more people who praised it.

“We will be the only team that is praised even after losing. Isn’t it?”

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 didn’t seem to like this. After all, pros speak in terms of results.

“Let’s make this game a result that is not ashamed even if it is really praised.”

Fortunately, the players carried out Milo’s words.

[Gool! goal! Brian Lekka breaks down Watford’s thick defense with a great long-range shot! ]

2-0 win against Watford FC.

[ Ned Keating runs straight from the half line to the goal line! ]

[ cross······. ]

[Gool! Damien Manibel scores a great header!

3-0 win over Fulham.

[Ah, Stoke City’s winning streak comes to an end again. ]

[ Brentford scores a dramatic draw at home against Stoke City! ]

2-2 draw against Brentford.

[ Kaneshiro Kei, do you cross? ]

[Uhhhhh, here we shoot! ]

[I’m in! went in! That’s really great! ]

[This is Kei Kaneshiro who scores the first league goal after transferring! ]

2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

Although he stumbled once at Brentford in the middle, he recorded three victories in his four league matches since the match against Liverpool.

Of course, Jamie was at the center of it all.

Jamie’s attack point is also an attack point, but he tried to break through the dribble and pass forward with his eyes lit like a person hungry for victory.

“Five. grades are good. Has anyone seen the league table? It ranks pretty high.”

At the time of the 12th round of the league, the current record of Stoke City is 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

If it had been another season, it would have been an overwhelming first place, but unfortunately, Manchester City’s momentum was so good that they were recording second place.

And······.

“hahahaha, but what is this? I must have met the 3rd place in the league at this timing.”

Read from noble mtl dot com

Like Stoke City, I met a team in third place in the league who are doing well enough to record first place in the league if it had been another season.

“This match against Newcastle United could be the turning point that decides the fate of the first half of the league, to add a bit of exaggeration this season.”

The opponent is Newcastle United.

After meeting the so-called ‘sugar daddy’ in the early 20’s, the team has grown into a strong team.

Before the start of this season, it was also a team that was considered a strong candidate for the championship along with Manchester City and Liverpool.

“Newcastle United are only two points behind us. If we lose today, we could drop to third place.”

Stoke City currently have 31 points.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Newcastle United have 29 points.

“Isn’t it too negative to say this? So let’s say something positive. If we win this match, we might be able to take back the top spot again.”

And, Manchester City, who are currently in first place, had 33 points.

In other words, with today’s game, Stoke City can rise to 1st place or fall to 3rd place.

“First and third place. Which rank do you prefer?”

“No. 1!”

Brian answered Milo’s question right away.

ha ha ha. Immediately, laughter flowed from all over the place, and the stiff locker room atmosphere relaxed a little.

“great. Believe in Daddy Suga, let’s scold the Newcastle guys who install, and come back to the number one spot.”

Stoke City was at a crossroads, whether or not the good performance so far was the luck of a beginner, or whether it was a leap forward as a true strong team.
