Romantic on the Field

91.

15 minutes after the match started.

‘You crazy bastard, don’t look at me every time you catch the ball.’

Jamie was very uncomfortable with Ben.

Because when Ben got the ball, he looked at Jamie.

‘Ah-oh.’

There were rare times when I didn’t notice Jamie right away, but when I was at a crossroads whether to pass or break through, I checked Jamie without exception.

Because of that, Ben’s play was delayed by a beat.

‘I’m stronger than I thought?’

Apart from Ben’s burdensome gaze, Leeds United were stronger than expected.

To add a bit of exaggeration, it felt like a completely different team compared to the last time we met at home.

‘Should I say my balance has improved?’

Sorry Ben, but Leeds seemed to be a better team after Ben was gone.

The most notable among them was the one-top striker.

The striker, who had been squeamish in many ways when he was playing with Ben, was playing his game properly.

‘Edward Holcroft. I think he was a guy with good football intelligence.’

English central striker.

His position is an attacker, but his strength is more in linked play and passing than in scoring ability.

In fact, this season he has been assisting more than scoring.

“Stop!”

“back!”

Just like that too.

Upon receiving the winger’s cross, he did not shoot directly, but made a back pass to a fellow attacking midfielder in the penalty box arc.

[ Whoa! ]

The attacking midfielder took it as a direct shot. The shot went wide of the target, but it was a pretty good try.

‘Vincent Lucas.’

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

Moments later, Jamie caught the ball and glanced at his marked opponent.

If the core of Leeds United’s attack is Edward Holcroft, the core of their defense is this Vincent Lucas.

An ambitious player who spent most of Ben’s money in the transfer window this winter, he became a mainstay of the team in just a week.

‘Should I call it a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck?’

Although Leeds are performing above expectations today, Lucas was a waste to be in Leeds.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Not to mention defensive power, he had good stamina and a lot of activity. He was tall and quick on his feet. And above all…

‘Ugh.’

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

Mark is also a mark, but he was a player who walked the tightrope narrowly crossing the boundary between a legitimate physical fight and a foul.

Even now, as soon as Jamie crossed the half line, he actively tried to use his hands to stop him.

‘Am I going to fall?’

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No, it’s hard to get a card like this. It is an ambiguous position even for a free kick.

After judging, Jamie shook his hand and swung to the right.

“Aagh!”

However, Lucas openly fouled this time. It was as if he was saying, ‘Since you crossed the half line, I won’t bother playing ambiguous plays’.

look at this guy Jamie burst out laughing.

Even after that, Lucas continued to play smart if he was smart and weak if he was weak.

In the end, Jamie went down and played for a while. It wasn’t that he was afraid of Lucas, but that he didn’t feel the need to take the risk. He had the confidence to create opportunities even when playing from below.

‘now.’

Jamie pokes a long pass into the left corner.

The pass flew exactly three steps ahead of where Brian was standing, and Brian caught the ball well before it left the touchline.

‘Now, what shall I do?’

In fact, he wanted to continue shooting directly and passed.

However, judging from the fact that he was moving forward little by little and checking the location of his comrades, Brian didn’t seem to think so.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Near the penalty box, Damien was chained by the central defenders.

It was a long way to wait for Keating’s overlapping.

Then, there is only one option left.

Brian made a big turn to the right.

Ben kept it reliably.

It was a classic choice, and considering Ben’s breakthrough ability, it could be said to be a pretty good choice.

The problem was, Ben was different from usual.

As soon as he caught the ball, he glanced at Jamie again. Even, despite the situation where you can’t have a conversation because of the distance.

‘Take it on your own, little.’

Receiving no response from Jamie, Ben hesitantly closed the distance to the opponent’s left full-back. But almost immediately, Leeds’ central midfielder joined in and the front was blocked.

Ben looked flustered for a moment, but luckily he turned around and slid the ball between the midfielder’s crotch and got off the mark.

However, it was only a momentary escape from the crisis, but it was not a successful breakthrough. Rather, it is because the distance from the goalpost is far away.

‘Yes, I’m coming.’

Jamie crossed the half line.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No matter how much Lucas is, he can’t play rough against a player without the ball.

He followed, keeping his distance, and Jamie soon came close to Beng.

“Hey.”

Ben, who was avoiding his opponent by using upper body paint, handed over the ball as if he had met a savior when Jamie asked for a pass.

‘Pretending to catch the ball…’

Took. Jamie made a back pass with his heel to Harry who was following him with one touch.

It was a movement preceded by a very fine painting that lowered the center of gravity of the body.

It’s a skill he developed while playing for Real Madrid in his last life, and it came in very handy when you’re surrounded by a bunch of players or when Mark’s opponents are annoying.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

Now you just need to move to a location and receive a return pass.

However, right after sending the ball, Lucas’s foot came in, and his boots grazed Jamie’s shin.

brushed It was obviously just a brush.

I took my foot back to make a pass, so no matter how deep my foot came in, I had no choice but to brush it.

“Ah!”

Jamie screamed and collapsed in a great motion.

Anyone can see that he kicked the opponent’s shin after the ball had already escaped.

Beep Big. The referee ran up and showed Lucas a yellow card.

Lucas protested as if he was unfair, but soon after realizing that he was in a situation where he would not be able to eat, he went back to his seat without even apologizing to Jamie.

‘It’s still a long way, you bastard.’

Jamie, who had been through so much in his life that he was sick of guys like Lucas, woke up with an internal smile.

However, it was a bit disappointing that the location of the free kick was ambiguous.

‘Mutombo and Harry, Damian.’

You can’t give up a free kick just because you’re sorry. Jamie pondered in his head how to cross.

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 and Harry are marked by tall defenders no less than them.

Then, there is only one choice left.

Tuung.

Jamie’s pass flew slightly behind where Damien was standing.

It was obvious that if I raised it to the standard, it would get caught by the defender, so I made a little change.

Whether it’s getting a header somehow, or trying an acrobatic shot as usual. I had the heart to try it out.

“ah!”

Damian did the former.

However, the results were disappointing. Damian’s header went wide of the post.

‘Well, it’s not General Meng-kun.’

Unfortunately, Jamie didn’t care too much.

Because I thought the opportunity would come again soon.

To be precise, it was because he promised himself that he would create an opportunity right away.

“Jay!”

“Go up!”

Indeed, it wasn’t long before Jamie drove the ball himself and crossed the half line.

Read from noble mtl dot com

Lucas, who was booked early in the first half, did not play his usual rough game. Of course, he wasn’t a player who could only play rough, but that didn’t matter too much to Jamie.

Two-woong. He took off Lucas with an instant hit and run.

He was fast-footed and covered right away, but he broke the center of gravity again with a back shot and widened the distance.

Then Jamie moves to the right side.

‘ah.’

If it was Brian or Robin, he would have naturally moved to the center, but his opponent was Ben.

He looked at Jamie with a bewildered expression, as if he were looking at someone who dared to choose the urinal next to him among many, many seats in a public bathroom.

‘I didn’t tell you this.’

Jamie panicked for a moment, but calmed down and drove the ball past him directly into the center.

Char-evil. However, that one second of bewilderment gave Lucas a chance. Even though he had a card, he boldly made a sliding tackle and took the ball out.

“Beng.”

“lee.”

Preparing for the corner kick, Jamie approached Ben.

“If I come to the right, you go to the center.”

“yes.”

the answer is good Where are you good at that? Jamie shook his head briefly and went to his seat.

**

Unfortunately, Stoke City’s corner kick went void.

Afterwards, the first half ended without changing the score after repeating ‘General Menggun’ as Jamie recalled.

‘At this rate, it’s embarrassing to talk loudly before the game.’

Jamie was the only Stoke City player who showed a threatening move, but he wasn’t very happy with himself.

So, as soon as the second half started, he ran the ball himself through the Leeds United half.

“ah-!”

“Nice shooting, Jamie. You’re out of luck today.”

However, as Robin, who was put in place of Damien, said, luck did not follow. Jamie’s shot ended up hitting the post or being cleared by a defender just before it was on goal.

‘I’m not feeling well.’

Sometimes teams like Bayern Munich have unexpected draws or losses against underdog teams throughout the game.

There are many cases where the decisive shot hits the post several times, or drives the opponent throughout the game and then gets the goal right before the end.

There are many reasons for this to happen, but if I had to pick just one, it would be ‘luck’.

Objectively, Stoke City weren’t quite as strong as Bayern Munich, and Leeds United weren’t relatively underdog either.

In this situation, if you have a lot of bad luck, it wouldn’t be too surprising if you ended up with a draw or a loss.

In this case, a player with a class had to create opportunities or make a clear decision.

A prime example is Lionel Messi scoring the winning goal in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Argentina vs. Iran.

‘Ah-oh.’

Jamie, who could not be unaware of this fact, began to get nervous.

In the meantime, Beng, who is the only one capable of explosive breakthroughs along with Jamie, was eating up the flow of the game by hesitating.

“go! Edward!”

[ Edward! Edward! ]

As Stoke City continued to fail to capitalize on their chances, Leeds launched a counterattack with Holcroft at the fore.

[ Ahh! ]

Fortunately, Leeds also had several chances, but did not produce results.

In the 14th minute of the second half, the offensive midfielder, who received Holcroft’s third decisive pass, fired a shot that was wide of the goal again.

‘Well?’

And in the 19th minute of the second half, the moment Holcroft turned around after receiving a long pass from Lucas, Vincent Herrero-Sancho accurately took the ball out.

‘It’s a counterattack.’

Jamie ‘refreshed’ the information on the field.

What about Damian? Two central defenders are on the mark.

Brian and Benn each have a fullback attached.

i do Having made his decision, Jamie quickly raised his hand, and Sancho delivered the pass right away.

When the ball got close to Jamie, Lucas and a central midfielder pressed, but Jamie didn’t care.

Two-woong. Once again, ‘hit and run’ took off Lucas and the central midfielder. It was similar after that. Quick-footed Lucas immediately covered.

‘to the right? Or to Damian?’

Jamie looked up and checked ahead. At that moment, Damian, who was in the middle of the penalty box, moved slightly to the right.

The fullback, who had been marking Ben at the move, sensed that Damian was taking his eyes off him.

I didn’t see it exactly. I literally sensed it. This was possible because Jamie’s cognitive ability was beyond the normal range.

‘Now.’

It was a very small loophole.

But even a small loophole was a loophole. Jamie didn’t want to miss that loophole.

Took. After passing to Ben, I also ran near him.

Ben hesitated, glancing at Jamie, as in the first half.

‘I have to move to the center.’

Jamie was frustrated.

In the meantime, the central midfielder Jamie had passed over joined in and put Benn under pressure.

In an instant, Ben was surrounded by two people, and Jamie moved into a better position to receive a pass.

‘Well?’

That slight movement created another small loophole.

The fullback who was conscious of Damien a moment ago is conscious of Jamie this time. The difference from just a moment ago was that this time, it flinched noticeably.

‘Now.’

Jamie had a hunch.

“Break-uh!”

Jamie called out right away, and Beng did.
