Romantic on the Field

88.

Away seats at Arsenal’s home stadium, Ashburton Grove.

Sean Hawkins looked around the stands with a tired expression.

[Good Old Arsenal. ]

[It’s our honor to say that name. ]

Ashburton Grove once boasted a quiet cheering culture, nicknamed ‘The Library’.

But not now.

[Good Old Arsenal. ]

[It’s our honor to say that name. ]

[And while we sing this song]

[We will win the game. ]

Arsenal fans were singing their cheers even before the match started.

“Uh ha ha ha. It looks like you’ve been waiting for a while.”

Pastor Kane, who was sitting next to him, laughed out loud.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Isn’t it funny? That the Premier League team still remembers losing to the League One team.”

There were too many incidents between the two teams to put it that simply.

In the past, Charlie Adam strangled Alexis Sanchez.

A few years later, Charlie Adam, who became the director, mentioned him again.

At the time, Arsenal’s captain did an interview provoking such Stoke City, and Stoke City’s ace did an interview with a nuance that he did not know what the captain was doing.

“Come to think of it, it’s a real piece of shit.”

“what?”

“Nope.”

Whoops, whoops.

The moment he roughly answered Kane’s question, Sean’s cell phone rang.

[RIP]

[I wish Stoke-on-Trent countrymen in advance. ]

A message was sent from a friend who was sitting somewhere in the home stands on the other side.

Sean let out a laugh. It was because I thought that even if this guy gets old, he still has no immature teeth.

[Arsenal is also on a winning streak. Don’t be too conceited to believe in Jamie Lee alone. Because we also have Wonder Boy. ]

[Can you see the crowd cheering up now? ]

[Why is Wonwon-seok so quiet? ]

[Maybe because they’re villagers, so the away fans haven’t come for a while]

However, I couldn’t laugh any longer at the continued provocation.

“Call leader! what are you doing. we’re too far behind Try to lead a little more actively!”

In the end, Sean got up from his seat and took out his anger on the petty person.

“hahahaha, sorry. The musician was angry. Now, let’s all cheer up.”

Fortunately, Collider smiled and passed it over, and Sean sat back in his seat feeling a bit embarrassed.

“hahahaha, what is it? Sean, did you turn?”

“…”

Kane laughed again when he saw Sean like that.

“Kane.”

Embarrassed, Sean was silent for a while, then suddenly recalled the contents of the message earlier and called Kane.

“ok?”

“Are there any hot players at Arsenal these days?”

[Don’t be too arrogant to believe in Jamie Lee alone. Because we also have Wonder Boy. ]

Didn’t a friend of mine say that?

He was a little crazy, but he wasn’t the one talking about nothing.

“A rising player. Well, I’m not interested in Arsenal.”

“Mmm.”

Unfortunately, Kane wasn’t much help.

‘Since I said Wonder Boy, I don’t think I’m that old…’

Was there a promising prospect at Arsenal? Sean rummaged through his memory.

‘Oh, I don’t know. If he’s a real Wonder Boy, he’ll stand out on the field.’

However, there was no particular person that came to mind, and Sean decided to just wait for the game in silence.

Shortly thereafter, players from both teams entered.

“lee!”

“Jamie! Good luck today!”

The away fans cheered Jamie enthusiastically, and soon the match began.

‘Is it 4-4-1-1 today?’

Recently, Stoke City has been getting away from the existing asymmetric formation and bringing a 4-4-1-1 symmetric formation.

Today’s right winger was Robin Price.

Since Robin had almost no ability to break through the dribble, he played more like a ‘Raumdeuter’ who aimed to score directly based on a higher level of understanding than a traditional winger.

However, when playing as a winger, he was not able to show as much scoring ability as when he played as a forward striker.

“ah!”

“what a waste!”

Just like that.

Robin, who received Jamie’s pass from the right flank, immediately attempted a shot. However, it was a shot that was not completely shaken off the opponent’s fullback’s mark, so it missed the goal significantly.

Five minutes later, Robin, who received another pass from Jamie, failed to even attempt a shot this time. He tried to change direction towards the goal and lost the ball to the fullback.

“It’s fine!”

“Nice try, Robin!”

The away fans offered words of consolation, but Robin’s expression was very dark.

When Stoke City couldn’t save both chances that came in a row, Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack.

‘Is that him?’

Callum Jones. Along with Ned Keating, he is regarded as one of Wales’ next-generation aces.

Coincidentally, his position is right winger, so he would often run into Keating today.

“Nice, Keating!”

“Hey, this tackle was good.”

‘… that’s not true.’

After seeing Keating immediately lose the ball, Sean dropped Callum Jones from the list.

“lee! run!”

“lee!”

In the 20th minute of the first half, Stoke City had another chance. After crossing the half line, Jamie passed one of the midfielders and moved to the left. As a result, Brian, who was originally on the left, moved to the center, and at about the same time, Robin, who was on the right, penetrated into the center.

‘Robin? Brian? Or Damien?’

Jamie’s choice was Brian.

“Ah-oh!”

After receiving the pass, Brian attempted a back shot, one of Jamie’s specialties, but was immediately blocked by the opposing defender.

‘Is that him?’

The name of the defender who blocked Brian’s breakthrough was Bryn Cale.

‘Oh no.’

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No matter how much, I wouldn’t give the central defender the nickname ‘Wonder Boy’. Sean shook his head internally.

After that, the game went into a somewhat lull.

“You do quite a bit, Arsenal.”

“Yeah. I thought you would win easily.”

To the conversation of the Stoke City fans sitting next to him, Sean agreed inwardly.

Currently, Arsenal’s performance is almost the same as Manchester United’s. Didn’t Stoke City win the match just before, even though Jamie only played the first half? I thought Arsenal would be no different.

However, Arsenal held on well without conceding until the end of the first half.

‘Wonder Boy, was it out of excitement?’

However, on the contrary, Arsenal also failed to seize a clear opportunity. In addition, the ‘Wonder Boy’ that Sean’s friend talked about was nowhere to be seen.

well, it can be Sean said yes and decided to move on. Isn’t it the heart of a fan to tremble with excitement the moment a promising prospect appears on the team they cheer for?

“Ah, sorry.”

“Yeah. I thought Lee would do something for me.”

In the end, the first half ended with a score of 0-0.

“Sean, I’m going to buy you a beer, would you like a drink too?”

“I’m done.”

“Tsk. If the guy comes to the soccer field, we should have a beer. Whew.”

Sean wrote back to his friend, ignoring Kane, who was talking like an old man.

[Wonderboy what. I only see young people. ]

Ugh.

The reply came right away.

[Our Wonder Boy is a slow starter. He plays only the first half, and rabbits are different from your aces. ]

“…”

what to do with this guy Sean had to catch his breath to control the anger that was building up for a moment.

And after a while…

As the second half begins, Sean realizes that his friend’s words are not entirely wrong.

‘That’s him.’

The ‘Wonder Boy’ my friend talked about was neither a winger nor a defender.

He was a 3rd midfielder.

The moment he saw a through pass from the back toward the frontline striker, Sean was convinced.

“Whoa-ooh!”

“Wow, I almost got hit.”

Fortunately, the Arsenal striker didn’t concede as he blew a chance.

However, 5 minutes later and 10 minutes later, the Wonder Boy continued to fire threatening passes from the rear.

“what. What’s that bastard’s name?”

Kane also seemed to feel that it was not serious. I asked with a frown.

“Rupert Moseley.”

Sean, who had been searching for it for a while, replied.

It was said that he was a player who had been selected for the national team for each age group, but was seldom seen in the adult national team.

“Was there a guy like that?”

Kane muttered, sticking out his tongue.

“Yeah. My friend said that he is Arsenal’s new ‘Wonder Boy’.”

In fact, Sean was a player I didn’t even know well. Instead, I did a search and found quite a few articles. Among them, there was an article that not only showed outstanding performance this season, but also that the national team manager had changed, so he could now be selected for the adult national team.

“But, well, not as much as Lee.”

After a while, Kane spoke in a voice that seemed to have lost his pulse for some reason.

“Well?”

“You keep creating opportunities, but you can’t create results alone.”

Compared to Lee, of course…

Sean, who was about to reply, frowned.

“come.”

Then, as if possessed by something, he muttered to himself and got up from his seat.

“lee! run!”

Kane also got up after him.

It was because Jamie, who moved to the right, passed both the opposition winger and full-back and turned to the center.

“crazy······!”

Jamie’s subsequent play gave the crowd a gasp of astonishment.

After entering the penalty box, Jamie turned all the defenders including Bryn Cale into scarecrows with a single shooting fake.

“Hit it!”

There were many other players in the penalty box, such as Damian and Brian, but the defensive line was not in order, so it seemed highly likely that a pass would be offside. It was a ‘offside in confusion’ situation that happens quite often.

Jamie seems to be conscious of this fact as well.

puck.

As if he didn’t care about the pass, unlike usual, he shot so hard that the sound of the kick was heard all the way to the spectators.

“Hey-hey!”

The result is goal.

“lee! lee!”

“That guy is a monster!”

Other spectators around stood up and cheered.

“I knew Lee could do it! hahahaha!”

“lee! come here! You should come here and celebrate!”

“hahahaha! did you see There’s not a single guy in the Premier League who does as much as Lee! hahahahaha!”

The most excited of them all was Kane. He sighed and expressed his satisfaction.

“Thank you, Jay. Thanks to Jay, I was able to recruit ‘Beng’.”

In response, Jamie heard words of gratitude from manager Milo. It was because he had asked me over the phone to persuade Jorge Benjor to join me.

“…”

But Jamie was embarrassed.

‘I haven’t called yet…’

because nothing was done.
