Romantic on the Field

28.

Jamie’s original position is a second-line attacking midfielder.

And recently, he mainly played as a 3-line central midfielder.

Occasionally moved to the flanks to match Brian’s move to the middle, but the position was a central midfielder rather than a wide midfielder anyway.

‘Jamie Lee prefers to carry the ball from the half-line directly into the penalty box.’

‘We actively try to break through even in the center where players are concentrated.’

‘It doesn’t matter how far away he is, he’s going to make dangerous passes and shoots.’

So, the teams facing Jamie assumed that he would play in the center, as if it was natural, and prepared their tactics before the match.

The same goes for today’s opposing team, Accrington Stanley.

“That, Director. The flanks keep breaking through.”

“…”

Accrington Stanley coach rubbed his throbbing temples.

Robin, who had played as a wing a few times, was the starter, so of course I knew he would play as a wing.

However, Jamie, who should have coordinated the offense and defense in the center, came out to the side and smashed the right side of his team.

“Turn Darryl to the side”

“Uh… then the center is too empty.”

“Is that a problem now! It’s our team’s wing, fullback, and centerback, and it’s getting smashed from the side!”

“…”

The coach yelled, and silence fell on the Accrington bench for a moment.

“···I’m sorry. Anyway, let’s turn Darryl to the side.”

“all right.”

As a result, Accrington was tied to one Jamie, including the right wing, right fullback, and Darryl, who played as a defensive midfielder.

‘It’s getting fun.’

Jamie, who confirmed the change in the opposing team, smiled.

As many as three out of ten field players stick to themselves.

Even so, what if you make a big success?

Articles will pour in.

Internet communities will explode.

When I thought so, I laughed out loud.

‘I’m not going to change positions now.’

Jamie glanced at the Stoke bench where coach Charlie was.

Fortunately, director Charlie of Real Men did not take any action.

Just staring at the field in silence.

‘Aren’t you thinking about what to eat for dinner tonight?’

At that moment, such a question came to mind, but Jamie soon shook his head and decided to focus on playing again.

Director Charlie had complete trust in Jamie.

And living up to the coach’s beliefs was the virtue of a player.

“eee-Yaaa!”

“GO-OAL!”

“Are you going to score a goal there?”

“Jamie you freak!”

Of course, Jamie lived up to his expectations.

**

[Gooool! Jamie Lee scores an extra goal! ]

[Left foot, right foot. Both side and center are very active. Awesome, Lee! ]

[ Uh, this is Jamie Lee again. run Can you solve it yourself again? ]

[ no. This time it’s Robin! ]

[ goal! Robin Price scores the third goal from a nice pass from Jamie Lee! ]

[Stoke City, virtually confirmed victory! ]

Jamie later scored another goal with a long-range shot, and before being substituted, he gave Robin a nice pass to seal the victory.

[ Jamie Lee 2 goals, 1 assist, selected as MOM ]

[ Again, again, Jamie Lee did it. 2 goals and 1 assist. ]

[Accrington Stanley coach Dixon, “Lee is another class. He couldn’t be stopped.” ]

[Football TMI] [Why didn’t the player who scored the equalizer celebrate? ]

ㄴ[ Lee’s ‘Winning Mentality’ revealed in a colleague interview after the match]

As if it was natural, an article praising him appeared, and the post-match interview of Robin, who scored the team’s third goal, received a lot of attention.

[You see Robin interview? When I scored the tying goal, the Riga players slammed me. ]

b [ What? ]

ㄴ [Please go back to your seat. I have to score a come-from-behind goal hahahaha ]

ㄴ [ ㄴㅇ? Aren’t you the youngest? Ha ha ha ha It’s boring. ]

ㄴ [Are you going to be satisfied with a draw, I hear you yelled at me that you can’t go up to the championship if you do this… The root itself]

Even the words that Jamie didn’t say were spreading, but Jamie, the person involved, helped to beautify himself by pretending not to know and being silent.

[‘Continue the rise’, Stoke City facing Cheltenham Town]

[ Stoke City, unable to overcome Lee’s absence, lost 0-3 to Cheltenham Town ]

Unfortunately, the next match against Accrington Stanley, against Cheltenham Town, was a miserable defeat.

This is because not only Jamie, but also injured Brian and Harry could not play.

[Honey, what’s wrong with Anmok? ]

[ Pietro Mutombo. This player is the complete thing. ]

[I heard he wasn’t a player in the 6th division? ]

Fortunately, there was also some positive news.

A post-Ryckard, a player who would later challenge even world-class Jamie.

Hanna went all the way to Oxford to meet Pietro Mutombo.

Currently, Pietro Mutombo’s team is a different team from Oxford City in the 6th division and Oxford United in the 3rd division.

Originally, Mutombo’s mother lived near a factory in Oxfordshire. That’s why he joined Oxford City.

But recently, when her mother moved to work in a pottery factory in Stoke-on-Trent, she became obscure in many ways.

Fortunately, Oxford City, which knows Mutombo’s circumstances well, decided to take care of him. If there is a team that wants Mutombo, it is decided to let him go by mutual agreement termination of the contract. That way he can live with his mother right away without waiting for the transfer window to open.

However, not everything can go smoothly.

[But there is a problem. I don’t know how I found out, but the Port Vale scout is here too. ]

[ They even approached Mutombo before us. ]

There is already a team that has been eyeing Mutombo.

To make matters worse, the team was beaten by Stoke City’s local rivals Port Vale FC.

[Oh, no. It’s not at all the level I approached first. Are you saying it’s almost certain? This, if done wrong, could be viewed as an attempt to hijack a recruited player from a rival team. ]

“Ha, then should I give up? Mutombo is a seonsun that must be caught.”

[I want to catch it too. No, you have to catch it unconditionally. wait. Let me tell you more. ]

Hanna then persuaded Mutombo for nearly three hours.

[ Honey, half success. ]

“half?”

[ yes. He said he saw the Port Vale game last time, but he hasn’t seen the Stoke City game yet. He said he would watch the game himself and decide where he would go. ]

done.

It’s not half success, but almost 90% passed.

After hanging up the phone, Jamie was convinced of Mutombo’s signing.

Since he was absent against Cheltenham Town, he was likely to start as a starter against Exeter City.

Exeter City are your average third division team.

‘I’ll show you an overwhelming victory.’

Sorry Exeter, but Jamie was going to offer Exeter as a sacrifice to recruit Mutombo.

**

The day before Exeter City, Stoke City’s home stadium ‘Bet 777 Stadium.

Sean, a third-generation Stoke City supporter, came to the stadium as if it were natural.

“Sean. I’ve never seen anyone bigger than you.”

“···Quiet. I will listen.”

He was pretty uncomfortable now.

To be precise, both the planting and the body were uncomfortable.

It was because there was a huge man sitting next to him.

“Sean! Why aren’t you singing today?”

“yes! The game is about to start. You have to cut off the start so we can sing along!”

Be quiet, you ignorant ones.

Sean groaned inwardly.

Originally, he got up from his seat before the game started and sang a cheering song loudly to raise the mood in the crowd.

But now the seat was very small and uncomfortable, and I was even more worried that I would get up and sing and offend the man sitting next to me.

“Sean.”

“why. Why do you keep calling me?”

“Cut your balls.”

“…Cut the balls?”

“Yeah, you stupid bastard.”

However, he was a rocker. He was a real man among men.

I couldn’t stand it when my friend Wayne, who was like a brother, provoked me from the side.

“Let’s sing a cheering song today as well. Is everyone ready!”

After taking a deep breath, he jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“Ohhh, yes! What song are you going to sing first?”

“lee?”

“Okay, let’s start with the Jamie Lee cheer!”

“No matter how it is, we should start with the team cheering song.”

Fortunately, the other supporters around me responded right away.

Whoa. Sean let out a sigh of relief and started singing the cheerleader.

[We will be with you, we will be with you. ]

[We will always be together. ]

[ city! city! ]

“city! city!””

Sean sings the lead, and the home fans sing along.

[ Lee’s play brings back good times. ]

[ When Stoke City commands the Premier League ]

When the excitement rose, I couldn’t see the big guy sitting next to me anymore.

Sean started to sing Jamie’s cheering song as well.

[Watching Lee play]

[ He takes us to a special place. ]

Sean leads, and the audience sings along.

thump, thump.

[Oh, oh, oh. Stoke’s Romantics. ]

[Oh, oh, oh. Stoke’s fantasy star. ]

Thanks to that, the atmosphere at Bet 777 Stadium instantly heated up.

“ha ha ha. If you do it well, why are you so scared? The best musician Stoke-on-Trent has ever produced.”

“…Who said you were scared?”

“Why are you lowering your voice again? hahahahaha.”

While Sean and Wayne were fighting, the preparations for the match were complete.

“do. Sean, the best musician born in Stoke-on-Trent. What do you think of today’s score?”

“I expect 3 to 0.”

“Of course we must be 3, right?”

“of course. Riga will do a hat trick. I missed the last game, so I think I will have enough stamina.”

It was literally.

“kid! Lida.”

“run! Run, Lee!”

In the 10th minute of the first half, Jamie caught the ball and started running from the half line.

“Oh, oh, oh. Lee is running Oh, oh, oh.”

“Who is the guy who changes the cheering song?”

“Is that important now? uh! pierced!”

Jamie beat the opposition full-back with only one run.

“Hit! Hit me!”

“No, the angle isn’t good yet.”

“It doesn’t matter, hit me!”

As if he had heard Sean’s words, Jamie attempted a bold mid-range shot from an unfavorable position.

“eee-YEAH!”

“Hey-aaa! went in! Crazy!”

“Aww! right! Lee is crazy!”

The result is goal.

“Come on, let’s all sing a song for Lee!”

Again, Jamie’s cheering song rang out at Bat 777 Stadium.

“Wait, Lee got the ball again.”

“Could it be, this time too?”

“Damn it. hahahahaha Lee is smashing the side of Exeter again!”

Thirty minutes later, Riga again scored another goal after devastating Exeter’s right side.

“eee-YA!”

“LEE! LEE! LEE!”

And in the 20th minute of the second half, when Jamie completed a hat-trick, Sean was very excited.

“Hey, big. you wake up too Get up and sing!”

Is it because I drank too much beer during halftime? He thrust his reddened face into the man next to him and spattered his spittle.

“If you watch Lee play! He takes us to special places! Come on, sing along!”

“Sher, Sean. too drunk.”

“Yes, I am drunk! ha ha ha Dude, get up now! Are you going to keep sitting there like a nerd who doesn’t fit your size?”

Wayne’s face went white as he watched the scene. It was because he had witnessed the big man’s eyebrows and mouth wriggling as if they were going to be crumpled at any moment.

“I-I’m sorry. Understand me. My friend is in such a good mood today.”

“…It reminds me of my hometown more. Do not worry about it.”

So Wayne apologized for Sean, but the big man gave an incomprehensible answer.

“You remember your hometown? ha ha ha Are your hometown guys as passionate as the Stoke-on-Trent guys?”

Rather, drunken Sean managed to understand what the man was saying.

“It’s the first time I see this face, are you originally from Stoke? Oh, I said it reminds me of my hometown. Well, no. How are you? get up quickly Let’s sing together!”

Sean then grabbed the man by the shoulder and started shaking him.

At this point, the man also quietly got up from his seat.

“great! Attention everyone! I have a friend here who came to the stadium for the first time from a far away country. Just looking at it, I think I will come to the stadium every time from now on. Next time we see each other, let’s pretend we know each other. Okay?”

“Sean! You are too drunk right now!”

“right. So let’s sing a song!”

People around him booed Sean.

Either way, Sean started singing loudly, still with his arm around the man’s shoulder.

[Watching Lee play]

[ He takes us to a special place. ]

[Oh, oh, oh. Stoke’s Romantics. ]

[Oh, oh, oh. Stoke’s fantasy star. ]

Oh, oh, oh.

The drunken Sean couldn’t hear it, but the man sang along to his song very quietly, barely audible.

A smile appeared on his lips as he sang along.

**

A few days later, Stoke City training ground.

“What is that size?”

“It is very big. who is this?”

Several Stoke players were gathering at the entrance and whispering.

“Aren’t you a transfer student?”

“The transfer market hasn’t even opened yet, so what kind of transfer student are you?”

“Then who are you? Are you the head coach? Suko’s seat is vacant right now.”

“If you are that curious, go and ask yourself. Who are you?”

“no. you ask.”

The reason they are doing this now is simple.

It was because there was a person he hadn’t seen before at the training ground.

“Move.”

“···uh?”

“Why are you blocking the entrance like this? Get out of the way.”

“Ah, sorry.”

After a while, they had to come out of the entrance right away when Jamie appeared.

“uh? Mutombo?”

“Well?”

And my eyes widened at the immediately following situation.

‘What, did he pretend to know someone first like that?’

Jamie Lee. It was because he, who rarely talked to his teammates, except for a few players who were training together, approached the unknown man and pretended to know him first.

“Did you two know each other? Seeing as Lee pretends to know me first, they seem pretty close.”

“Maybe parents or siblings?”

“You idiot, they are of different races.”

Jamie heard the players babbling too. However, I didn’t really care.

“Are you planning to join today?”

He just talked to the player he recommended for recruitment as if nothing had happened.

“Well? Do you know Mutombo?”

The person in question didn’t seem to recognize it.

“I saw you in front of the mart then. I do not remember?”

“You are smart. Mutombo is smart, but you are smart too.”

“hahahaha. So, Mutombo. Why are you on our team? He said that he was almost certain to go to Port Vale.”

The last words lowered his voice. Because there is no need for someone else to listen to it.

“Mmm.”

Mutombo thought for a moment about Jamie’s question…

“Stoke City fans feel good.”

He gave a somewhat nonsensical answer.

“You mean you came because the fans liked you?”

“Yes.”

Luckily, Jamie figured it out right away.

“He’s more romantic than I thought. hahahaha.”

“Romance is important. Of course, the mood is also important.”

yes. romance, mood. it all matters We hadn’t talked much yet, but Jamie really liked Mutombo.

“Yes, Mutombo. The only thing left to do is to feel better.”

“What makes you feel better? What is it?”

At Mutombo’s question, Jamie was about to lower his voice again, but just answered in his usual tone.

“Championship.”
