Romantic on the Field

17.

“Now, think about it.”

Jamie asked, looking around at the members of the Stoke City Personal Training Group.

“Who do you think the opposing team fears the most?”

“That’s right…”

“That would be me.”

Harry tried to answer, but Jamie quickly intercepted him.

‘What, if it’s like this, why did you ask?’

Harry muttered to himself.

“Brian has scored a lot of goals lately, but as long as I am in the game, the mark will be on me. Why?”

“You’re a threat…”

“Because I am the best.”

Took. After saying that, Jamie sent the ball in front of his feet to Brian.

“It’s not just about being good at it. It’s literally overwhelming. What do you mean by this, it means that you are always wary of me.”

Then I moved to the left side of the penalty box.

“It is the same when I fall to the side. Harry, if you were in that position, who would you mark?”

“Ro, Robin?”

“yes. You are smarter than you think.”

Harry’s answer made Jamie burst into laughter.

Even though I deliberately laid a lot of ground rice, Harry didn’t come over.

“No matter how good a player I am, I can’t mark when I don’t even have the ball. In this situation, it’s better to mark Brian who has the ball or Robin who is penetrating inside. What does this mean?”

After Jamie said that, he gave Robin a chin.

Then, with a hook, Robin suddenly ran behind Harry’s back.

It was not a conscious act. For Robin, it was almost an instinctive move.

Consciously or not, it was embarrassing for Harry, who was in charge of defense.

ugh I groaned and quickly followed him.

“Brian, hit me!”

This made Brian a no-mark, and he fired without hesitation.

squash.

The ball left Brian’s foot and shook the net.

Scoring a goal on a goalpost with no marking defense and no goalkeeper was as easy as eating a piece of cake for Brian.

“Hey, did you see it? Just my move to the side opened up opportunities for both Brian and Robin. Of course, there will be more defense than this in a real game, but the core doesn’t change.”

Jamie walked back to the penalty box where they were standing.

“I will tell you how Brian and Robin should move when I move to the side. Don’t do anything else today, just train for this.”

“Yeah, yes.”

“great!

Harry replied shyly, and Brian vigorously.

“…”

And Robin, the eldest, was speechless, not knowing what to say.

‘Is this 20-year-old giving me orders?’

Naturally, that thought came to my mind.

“Robin.”

“···uh?”

“Are you not answering? do not want to do it?”

“Oh, no.”

However, he had no choice but to reflexively respond to Jamie’s pressure that followed.

**

A few days later, in front of the power analysis room at ‘Bet 777 Stadium’.

“What, why did you come all the way here?”

Before the match, Jamie came to see Hannah’s face for a moment.

“What if someone else sees it? Get in quickly.”

“What, were we secretly dating?”

“Oh, no. That’s not it…”

Hannah was a shy person.

So Jamie deliberately stroked her cheek just in time for the person passing by.

“Everyone sees other people. Go quickly.”

“ha ha ha.”

Indeed, as he intended, Hannah’s face quickly heated up.

“If I even kiss you, my face will explode.”

“Ah! Stop it, dear.”

“hahahaha. Okay. Call me when you’re done.”

“Yes.”

After Jamie left, Hannah had to cool off and go into the power analysis room.

“Hey, he’s really handsome.”

“Ah, Mr. Surprise!”

Then, I was surprised to see power analyzer Tae-Wan popping out of the entrance.

“what. Pretend to be popular. You must be a ghost.”

“ha ha ha. How would it feel to live with such a handsome man?”

“…that, well.”

Feeling embarrassed, Hanna tried to gloss over it. However, Tae-wan continued to stare at him as if he was really curious, and in the end, she had no choice but to answer.

“I like every moment.”

Hearing Hannah’s answer, Taewan grinned.

“This week?”

“Oh, a wedding? Yes.”

“I look forward to it. All of our power analysis team decided to attend. I am going with my wife.”

“Oh, really? Thank you.”

Taewan pointed at the power analysis room with the palm of his hand.

“Today’s game is the last game before the wedding. Shall we go see how well the new groom is playing?”

“ha ha ha.”

Having said that, Jamie starts on the bench today.

Since he has played in almost every game recently, he seemed to have decided that it would be unreasonable to make him a starter until today.

“Ah, Robin is the starter again.”

After entering the power analysis room, Tae-wan, who was preparing data, widened his eyes.

“Again? It’s already the third match.”

“Ugh. Iknow, right. Movement is good.”

In the last game, I came out as a two-top with Mikel. Today, however, he pushed out Mikel and competed as a one-top player.

‘I’d do better if I came out with Jamie…’

Looking at the warming-up Robin, Hannah thought.

Even though she was a rookie, she was a scout anyway. He was confident that his eyes for football and players are second to none.

To her, Robin was definitely not a bad player. As the daughter of the owner of Stoke City and a staff member, I have no words to say, but I am sure that if he had played for a better team than Stoke, he would have performed much better than he does now.

After a while, the match started and Hannah was able to confirm that she was right.

‘Oh, Robin, it’s empty! Why don’t you pass!’

‘Look at this. Again Robin infiltrates alone. What are the other players doing?’

10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes…

Throughout the first half, Robin showed a threatening move, but as a result, it became meaningless as there was no player to stab the pass.

‘No, isn’t there a player who can stab a proper pass?’

Hannah felt frustrated.

The only player to look forward to was Brian, but he was being intensively checked as if he was considered the only threat in the current situation without Jamie.

Brian was a good kicker but struggled to break through pressure or get past defenders.

Beep.

In the end, the first half ended with neither team having a clear chance.

“Phew. Still, I didn’t lose.”

“…”

Tae-wan and other power analysts seemed satisfied with the draw, but Hae-na was not.

‘No, you’re not going to promote? Can I play lukewarm like this?’

Unfortunately, the second half also proceeded in a similar fashion.

Portsmouth focus on defense, while Stoke City also attempt a lukewarm attack and are blocked.

“Oh, come out.”

“hahahaha. A new groom appears.”

The cramped flow of the game suddenly changed in the 30th minute of the second half, as soon as Jamie entered.

“Oh, I caught the ball with the new groom.”

As soon as Tae-wan finished speaking, two Portsmouth defenders pressed him at the same time.

Jamie unbalanced the defense with a few upper-body feints, then slipped between the two in an instant after a flip flap.

“Ohhhhh.”

The people in the power analysis room and the home crowd were all in awe.

Jamie didn’t stop there and drove the ball all the way to the left side.

‘Well? Why is it falling to the side?’

Hanna tilted her head at the unusual movement.

Opponents also seemed to be flustered. Whether to block the Stoke players in the middle or to block Jamie who fell to the side, he hesitated and could not move hastily.

The rule here is to block the center. No matter how good a cross from the side is, it means nothing if you can’t connect it with a shot.

However, the Portsmouth players decided to press on Jamie, who fell to the side.

“come!”

“Hit it!”

Relatively to this, Brian, who was in front of the penalty box, had space, and Jamie passed him right away.

Brian is a player who can fire threatening shots from any position.

He raised his arm high as if he were about to shoot.

‘It’s Robin.’

At that moment, Hannah was wandering around the defender in the penalty box, and at some point found Robin penetrating her.

Took.

Brian didn’t hit the shot. I just send the ball forward like a push.

“Lo, Robin!”

“Hit it!”

Robin, who exquisitely broke the offside trap, took Brian’s pass with a direct shot.

“aaagh!”

“what a waste!”

Robin’s shot flew to a very good course, but was blocked by the Portsmouth goalkeeper.

“uh?’

However, that wasn’t the end.

The ball kicked by the goalkeeper flowed to the left, and Jamie on the side caught it and entered the penalty box.

“What, when did you get there?”

“When, do you hit me?”

The angle was not good.

But Jamie didn’t hesitate and fired right away.

“Gool! went in!”

[ eee-YAH! ]

[YEE-aaa! ]

Everyone in the power analysis room stood up at once and cheered. The same goes for the home crowd. He shouted so loudly that it felt like the floor was shaking.

whoops, whoops. Even though it’s already been a few times, Hannah felt an indescribable elation every time she saw it.

Before the owner’s daughter, before scouts, it was Stoke City that I had been rooting for since I was very young.

Moreover, not just a player, but her prospective husband scored a goal in front of her eyes at the home stadium.

It was strange that he wasn’t extremely excited.

The joke she made the other day about ‘I almost fell for a child’ was by no means an exaggeration.

“Oh, come again.”

Besides, that wasn’t the end.

Jamie was running toward the power analysis room again, just like last time.

“ha ha ha. What shall we do this time?”

Contrary to people’s reactions, Hannah looked at him with an uneasy feeling.

What kind of strange celebration should I do? Wouldn’t it be possible to go beyond the finger heart and kneel down to propose? A lot of thoughts popped into my head.

However, Jamie’s celebration was very gentle.

All he had to do was kiss the Stoke City emblem on his uniform once, and then kiss his ring finger while looking at her.

“Ohhhhh!”

“Kiss the ring! Kiss the ring!”

“Ring Celebration! kyaa Crazy!”

Although the reaction was quite intense.
