Romantic on the Field

94.

In today’s game, Jamie explained what to do after bengi breaks through.

“I understand?”

“yes.”

Time was running out and I couldn’t explain properly.

Besides, because of Beng’s poor vocabulary, he couldn’t confirm that he had understood it correctly, or to say it as he understood it.

“Are you sure?”

“certainty.”

“···yes.”

I just have to believe that you understand.

Stoke City’s corner attack went to nothing, but Chelsea’s attack also fizzled out afterwards.

‘There is no sure means of attack.’

Jamie glanced at the Chelsea half.

Before the season, there were several reasons why some media outlets had named Chelsea as favorites.

They had a lot of class-class midfielders in terms of activity and stamina, and Roger Barrett, the key defender of the England national team, was in the defense.

Also, since most of the main players have been working together for a long time, the teamwork was good. In the opening match against Stoke City, he showed organized play.

However, there was no ‘attack’ among the reasons.

A decent cross or a decent through pass. or moderate penetration. It was no exaggeration to say that this was all the attack patterns Chelsea could try.

There were times when I scored beautiful goals with good team play, but not many times.

It was worth diagnosing that Jamie had no clear means of attack.

On the other hand, Stoke City had a clear means of attack called Jamie.

Whether the game was losing or winning, whether the team was inferior or not, Jamie was the offensive tool that could somehow change the course of the game or create results.

‘And one more person.’

Jamie passed to ‘intermittent reliable means of attack’.

Took. As soon as Ben received the pass, he reflexively peeled off the opposing winger who was pressuring him.

‘How to. Do you keep drilling?’

And he looked at Jamie with such a questioning expression.

yes, i have to go on Jamie suppressed a laugh and nodded lightly.

That nod became a signal. As Chelsea’s central midfielder came to cover, Ben pulled the ball through his crotch.

[ Whoa-woo. ]

Stoke City home fans exclaimed in unison at a move that is rarely seen.

‘He’s a great guy.’

Jamie also admired inwardly. Of course, Jamie wasn’t a spectator, so he wasn’t just admiring it. On the other side, they penetrated with one defensive midfielder.

In the meantime, Ben has managed to break through Chelsea’s left full-back.

‘The next problem is.’

The key was how accurately Jamie executed the order he entered earlier, and whether he could knock down Roger Barrett, the giant who supports Chelsea’s defense.

Benn advanced towards Roger Barrett, who was covering.

Roger Barrett shifted his back foot and body toward that side to avoid allowing a shot after moving inside, aiming for a more direct opportunity.

If you try to break through or paint, here nine out of ten or ten out of ten will turn inside.

This is because the shooting angle becomes extremely narrow when bent outward. There was also a high probability of leaving the goal line as it was.

But Ben was a player who preferred to break through by surprise.

As if this was the standard, I hit the ball outward without hesitation.

“…!”

Even Roger Barrett could not react to the surprise breakthrough.

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

Maybe, he didn’t react. In that position, no matter how you kick it, there is a high probability that it will fly straight in front of the goalkeeper.

Of course, that didn’t mean Roger Barrett was completely idle. Almost immediately, Ben started to press him in case he swerved again.

‘Now.’

Jamie pretended to go get the ball, then swerved in the opposite direction from Ben.

The move was enough to shake the Chelsea defense.

Stoke City’s main scorer, and currently the top scorer in the Premier League, penetrates into the penalty box.

‘Should I upload it now?’

‘It’s Jamie!’

As a Chelsea defender, you have no choice but to think that way.

At that moment, Benn fired a low cross to Damian in the center with a very strong, almost shot-like intensity and speed.

It wasn’t a very good cross. First of all, it was too fast. It wasn’t even accurate.

However, Damien is a player who makes good use of difficult opportunities.

puck.

After momentarily pulling back, he connected Ben’s cross with a direct shot in a bizarre posture that was not acrobatic.

[eee-YeeeA! ]

Both the process and result were unique goals.

Stoke City supporters stood up from their seats holding their heads or looking in astonishment and shouting.

‘Whiyu.’

Jamie felt more relieved than delighted.

‘After defeating the last defense, pass it to Damien unconditionally. The pass is strong, almost like a shot.’

These were all the commands he gave Benn.

However, the intention was clear.

Benn’s breakthrough, in good form, is reliable. Especially if it’s a surprise breakthrough.

However, even after making a surprise breakthrough, if the next choice was an obvious choice that was easy to predict, there was a high possibility of being blocked. Moreover, the opponent is Roger Barrett.

It was a very obvious choice to cross to Damian in the middle.

So Jamie added a few more anomalous elements. One was that he ordered a strong cross rather than an ordinary pass, and the other was that he acted as a bait to attract the attention of the defenders.

‘by the way······.’

Jamie’s gaze shifted from Damien to Ben.

‘Did you decide to celebrate even after assisting?’

**

Ben made several breakthroughs after that, but failed to turn them into decisive opportunities. Jamie didn’t overdo it while he was winning, and the first half ended 1-0 without changing the score.

The second half was even less interesting. Jamie was replaced as previously stated, and Ben, who had no one to give orders to, was replaced after attempting a fruitless breakthrough.

Chelsea didn’t try to attack actively even though they were losing, whether they were saving themselves with the FA Cup match in mind. The midfielders, who showed great stamina and activity, also withered today.

[There is nothing to eat at the rumored feast. Stoke City v Chelsea FC, Stoke City’s easy win ]

In the end, the game ended after a boring run to the point where Beng’s breakthrough in the first half and Damien’s acrobatic goal were overshadowed. It was a victory for Stoke City that was fresher than I thought.

“George Benjor.”

“Call me Beng.”

“George Benjor.”

“Beng.”

“Originally, celebrations are only for players who score goals. That’s basic.”

The next day, apart from the bland game results, Ben had to listen to Damian’s nagging at the training ground, not nagging.

“Because of you, my elegant goal celebration was buried.”

“Wow?”

“Yeah, wow. It’s because he’s an elegant Damian, so it goes beyond this. Ignorant bastards would have punched first.”

“yes.”

“Be careful in the future. Jorge Benjor.”

“yes.”

Damien was about to say something more, but just shook his head and went back to his seat.

“hahahaha.”

Seeing this, Robin burst into laughter.

You can smile without embellishment like that while looking at your competitors. Jamie was inwardly amazed.

Of course, it was something Jamie could do. However, it was possible because he was always in an overwhelmingly advantageous position, so the situation was different from Robin.

‘People are really nice.’

Robin was one of the best personalities Jamie had ever met in his entire life.

“Looks like the team colors have changed a bit.”

Perhaps noticing her gaze, Robin came over to Jamie and started talking.

“How has it changed?”

“It was originally a team with passion, but it feels like the direction of passion has changed.”

“direction?”

“is not it. yes no this would be more accurate The passion is still overflowing, but the form has diversified. To put it in a good way, I think there are more players with individuality.”

“To put it badly, does it feel like there are more nerds?”

What else? Jamie smiled, thinking that words like that would come out of Robin’s mouth.

“Not long ago, there was only one Jamie, ha ha ha ha.”

Although I quickly erased my laughter at the words that followed.

“Robin. How about you.”

Then, out of nowhere, a question popped up, and Jamie decided to just ask it outright.

“ok?”

“A team that has been around for close to 10 years has undergone drastic changes in recent years.”

“right?”

“How are you as a veteran of the team?”

Depending on the person, it was a question that could feel like a fight. However, Robin was a person of character, and he did not take offense at Jamie’s question and began to think seriously.

“Well?”

However, the answer that came out was nothing to seriously think about.

“I don’t know, ha ha ha.”

“…”

Jamie shook his head in despair.

“Maybe he just kept quiet?”

“Well?”

A few hours later, Hannah, who heard today’s anecdote from Jamie, came up with an opinion from an unexpected point of view.

“What is the biggest factor in team change? share? The person who occupied it is honey.”

“is it?”

“right! The person who contributed the most to direct promotion to Division 1 is Honey.”

Hannah said as if it was absurd.

“It’s Dad!”

Kai also stood beside him.

For a moment, Jamie was taken aback, then smiled when he realized that Kai was just repeating what he was saying and not understanding the real conversation.

“Yes, Dad.”

“swimming.”

Heh- Heh-na’s smile was so similar to Jamie’s, so Jamie’s smile couldn’t help but become clearer.

“Anyway, it wasn’t anyone else, but Honey, who could be said to be the culprit, asked openly.”

“The main culprit.”

“From Robin’s point of view, it would have been difficult to elaborate.”

I thought there was a point.

“Robin’s stats dropped a lot this season, right?”

“Is that so? wait for a sec.”

Then, another question suddenly came to mind, and Hannah picked up the tablet PC next to her and checked it.

“yes. That’s right. The attack points have been drastically reduced. But this is true of other players besides Robin.”

“The other player, who?”

“Brian and Keating.”

“Ummm… Is it because of the league level difference? Because there is a difference between the Championship and the Premier League.”

Hanna manipulated the tablet PC again.

“I don’t think so. You know KK. Kaneshiro Kay. Compared to when he was in his former team, this friend also lacks the number of attack points.”

“You’re still in the middle of the league.”

“Compared to the same period, yes.”

uh? Jamie’s eyes widened.

“It really is.”

**

Two days later, Chelsea FC’s home stadium, Stamford Bridge.

‘League matches were controlled by strength.’

Originally, Chelsea is a team with the most active midfielders in the league.

However, in the last game, he did not show a noticeable performance, and perhaps because of that, Stoke City had a rather bland victory.

“Keeting! Narrow it down a bit!”

“Mario, don’t sit down! come out!”

Today was different.

At the start of the game, he ran through the Stoke City camp, and continued this pressure intensity without slowing down even once until the 40th minute in the first half.

This resulted in several shooting opportunities. It didn’t lead to a decisive opportunity because there was no clear means of attack, but I couldn’t be complacent.

And in the 43rd minute of the first half, Chelsea finally had a decisive chance.

As soon as the one-top striker caught the ball from the penalty box arc, the three central midfielders entered the penalty box at once. It was a completely unexpected attack for Stoke City, and it was an attack that could be done because it was Chelsea, where teamwork is an advantage.

puck-.

The attacker passed to one of the central midfielders, and the midfielder continued with a direct shot.

Fortunately, Vincent Herrero-Sancho hurriedly threw his body to block the shot.

If it wasn’t for Sancho’s last save, it would have been an almost perfect concession crisis.

“Concentrate!”

Sancho, who was always laughing at the training ground, clapped his hands and urged the players.

Afterwards, Chelsea’s corner kick attack was also quite threatening. The ball was connected to the winger on the far post side instead of the taller player. This was also a promised play, but this time Keating blocked it well.

‘Teamwork is scary.’

Jamie recalled a rather plain impression.

A crisis is just a crisis, but we haven’t scored a goal yet. Even if I score a goal, I just have to pay it back right away. Jamie prepared for a counterattack with such optimistic thoughts.

‘uh?’

Then, I suddenly came up with an overly hopeful idea beyond optimism, an assumption that was almost a leap forward.

‘If Stoke City has this level of teamwork, will Europe just eat it up?’
