Romantic on the Field

32.

Jamie’s 30-metre free kick goal soon became the winning goal.

The final score is 1 to 0.

It was Stoke City’s victory.

It was truly a catastrophe.

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

[We will always be together. ]

[ city! city! ]

After the match, Mutombo gazed at the Stoke City home crowd.

They were singing the Stoke City cheer, raising their voices. Among them, some fans who looked a little older shed tears.

“how?”

At that time, Harry approached from nowhere and started talking.

“Impressive.”

“Impressive? Oh, I was impressed by you.”

“Yes. Mutombo was impressed.”

Mutombo’s answer made Harry laugh.

“Originally famous. Our team supporters.”

“…Crying well?”

“hahahaha, no. With passion.”

Mutombo and Harry walked towards the stands.

“Harry! The overlapping was good today!”

“right. Go up a bit as usual! Don’t let Jamie suffer alone!”

“…”

However, at the shouts of some hooligans, they quickly turned to the locker room.

“Good work.”

After a while, coach Charlie entered the locker room and looked very happy.

“Today we beat Arsenal. This put us through to the League Cup final. It is the first League Cup final in 66 years.”

Kwa-ang.

It was so good that he even hit the whiteboard where he didn’t have to hit it.

“It’s been 66 years. 6 years, not 16 years, 66 years. Ha ha ha ha!”

Then, he showed his uvula and laughed out loud. The players naturally laughed along with that absurdly hearty laugh.

“Originally, masters do not give vacations in this situation. It’s because you think you’ve already achieved everything, and it can have a fatal impact on your motivation. But······.”

Coach Charlie said that and looked over the players.

“I am not a title. Also, you guys are not children either. tomorrow is vacation Let’s each get enough rest, get our own motivation, and see you at the training ground the day after tomorrow.”

whee-i. Starting with midfielder Jack’s whistle, the players cheered.

“Oh, instead, set aside time next weekend.”

pop.

It was immediately quiet again at Director Charlie’s meaningful words.

“what. Why are the faces like that? It was already announced during the pre-season.”

Oh right. What? Each reacted differently.

Jamie said, ‘What is it?’ it was on the side I joined after the start of the season, so I did not know what was announced during the preseason.

“It is said that the owner is also stopping by for a while, so everyone should participate. more.”

Until the father-in-law? Jamie’s eyes widened at Director Charlie’s words.

**

Kane is a pastor.

He also runs a charity called ‘Work Ministries’.

“K-ah!”

He drank a glass of draft beer in one gulp and put the glass on the table with a ‘bang’ sound.

“Put the glass down gently, it will break. No, can the pastor drink in the first place?”

“Why not? haven’t you read the bible? What did Jesus make with blood?”

Sean Hawkins shook his head at Kane’s reply.

“Sean, why aren’t you drinking?”

“I’ve gained too much belly fat lately.”

“Damn it. Is that what a rocker would say? If that’s the case, take off your leather jacket right now and put on your yoga clothes. No, why don’t you just take the balls off.”

“…”

What kind of bastard pastor’s mouth is so harsh? Sean stared straight into Kane’s face, then just shook his head again without saying anything.

“What about Wayne and Ron?”

“I don’t know, you bastards. I have to come see the pastor on this fine day, where did you go?”

The place where they are now is ‘Reflex Henry’. Originally, it is an ordinary club, but on Stoke City win days, like today, it turns off songs and lights. It is to be considerate so that supporters can freely sing cheering songs and play.

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

[We will always be together. ]

[ city! city! ]

In fact, while Sean and Kane were talking, the supporters were singing the Stoke City cheering song.

Normally, Sean would be at the center of it, but today he wanted to enjoy his victory in a calmer mood.

Stoke City beat Arsenal, a powerhouse of Premier League tradition, to advance to the League Cup final for the first time in 66 years.

I didn’t want to go on a spree and drink. Sober, I wanted to fully enjoy this moment.

“Sean! Why are you hanging around the corner?”

“right! Come and sing Jamie’s cheer!”

However, the supporters did not leave him alone.

“no. Pay me if you want to hear it.”

Since it was already the third request, Sean decided to go strong.

Indeed, as Sean intended, they flinched and shut their mouths.

That’s right, Sean was a musician whose name was known all over England. In fact, when you think of his performance fee, you have no choice but to keep your mouth shut.

“Hey. Sean. It’s a good day.”

was it a bit harsh While thinking that, Kane tapped him on the elbow.

“Yeah, it’s a good day.”

“ha ha ha. well thought out The Lord will give you extra points for heaven.”

“…just with something like this?”

Sean burst out laughing and got up from his seat and went up on stage.

“It’s a feeling. It’s the first time in 66 years that we have advanced to the finals. Can you give us a free performance? Instead, there is no accompaniment.”

“Yeah-eh!”

Amid cheers from the crowd, Sean cleared his throat once and began to sing.

[Her laugh brings back the good times in me. ]

[When everything is as beautiful as the blue sky]

[ Looking at her face, she takes me to a special place. ]

[Oh, oh, oh. sweet you ]

[Oh, oh, oh. my sweet love ]

It was not Jamie’s cheering song, but the original song, ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ by Guns N’ Roses.

Well? A few people reacted with curiosity, but they quickly adapted and clapped and sang along to Sean’s song.

[ Lee’s play brings back good times. ]

[ When Stoke City commands the Premier League ]

[ Watching Lee play, he takes us to special places. ]

[Oh, oh, oh. Stoke’s Romantics. ]

[Oh, oh, oh. Stoke’s fantasy star. ]

And the second verse was changed to the lyrics of Jamie’s cheering song.

“bravo!”

“Yeah. It’s Sean.”

“ha ha ha. Thanks, Sean!”

When the song ended, people stood up and cheered him. Sean bowed in an exaggerated motion, then returned to his seat.

“Good job. hahahaha.”

Then Kane patted him on the shoulder.

“What is suffering?”

“Well? Isn’t this much suffering?”

“…what else are you going to talk about?”

“You’re quick to notice. Do you want to come to Work Minitree next weekend?”

Then he asked, lowering his voice slightly.

“Because I’m not going. And when you say come to some volunteer group, you talk like you’re dealing drugs.”

“ha ha ha.”

As usual, Sean rejected Kane’s offer with a single knife.

He flatly refuses to visit a charity run by an acquaintance. Just looking at this fact, he may seem like a very heartless person, but in reality he was not.

He donates a considerable amount each year to Work Ministries.

The reason I didn’t go directly was because I was just shy.

“Please understand my feelings of rejection every time. uh? It just makes me feel like the bad guy.”

“ha ha ha. sorry. But, will you come this time too?”

“Well? I don’t want you to come, but you will come? What do you mean?”

This time Kane shook his head.

“You haven’t been interested in the real Stoke City in the meantime. hahahaha. It was a fact that was already announced during the pre-season.”

“In pre-season? Mmm. At that time, you just don’t know. What. Is it related to Stoke?”

“right. Originally around this time of year, you are volunteering for the athletes, right? This time, they said they came as a work mini-triss. I won’t stay long because I have to go to the nursery school right away, but isn’t it a great opportunity to take a picture with Lee?”

Not too long ago, Sean was enraged because he found out belatedly that his friend Wayne had taken a picture with Jamie Lee.

“Will Lee come too?”

“of course. The owner said he would stop by for a while, but Lee didn’t come and he would be hungry.”

hum, hum. Sean thought for a moment.

To be precise, I pretended to be worried.

“Is it because your conscience pricked you that you didn’t come until now, and then came quickly when you heard that Lee was coming?”

“…”

It was.

Being so caught up in the middle, Sean couldn’t answer and gave an affirmative silence.

**

“Dad said why are you coming?”

“Why didn’t you want to come?”

“Oh, no. That’s not it…”

Next weekend, on the day of the team’s volunteer activity.

“yes. Come to think of it, if it wasn’t for Dad, other people wouldn’t have come.”

At the entrance of the Walk Minitrees, not only the players, but also the coaches, scouting team, and even the power analysis team, and other club officials were pouring in.

The same goes for Jamie and Hannah.

Others took the club bus, but the two asked for permission in advance and moved separately. Because Hannah is pregnant.

“At first, I was forced to go to volunteer work because of my dad, but after going once, I kept going. The people who came here today must be the same.”

Yes, it was. Recalling the memory, Jamie smiled.

I can’t go because I’m pregnant now, but Hannah has been constantly volunteering at a nearby charity or an orphanage since her school days.

“oh. Choi, the baby will come out soon.”

“ha ha ha. We are still far away.”

“really? Did you have a good stomach?”

After a while, several female staff members approached her and pretended to know her. Due to the nature of the scout, he often works outside, so there were a lot of people who saw him after a long time.

Hannah immediately put on a social mask and had a conversation with them without any awkwardness.

‘Hey, our Hana. You have a good social life.’

I can’t. Jamie looked at the scene with a pleased expression.

“Are you hungry?”

As they left, Hannah muttered as she stroked her belly.

“Well. I don’t know if it’s because I see it every day.”

“Well, it deserves a lot. Because it’s only a few months away now. I hope it comes out soon anyway. In my mind, I want to give birth right away tomorrow.”

“yes? Why?”

“I want to see you soon.”

“hahahaha.”

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

“Okay, let the ceremony begin. There are a lot of people, so I think we need to divide the area. The athletes will come inside the Walk Minitrees, and the staff will organize outside and around the building.”

Soon after, a member of the marketing team came and spoke loudly.

“See you later.”

“yes. Call me if anything happens.”

Serious service activities began. Jamie also worked hard this time without taking it out. Aside from the good and the bad, I thought volunteer work was part of fan service.

‘Jamie, why are you like that?’

‘what?’

‘Are you working really hard?’

‘Kids are inherently good. It’s because he doesn’t speak well.’

After seeing that, some players whispered.

“That······.”

Time passed quickly, and it was time to move on to the next place.

“lee.”

I was about to throw my dusty gloves in the trash and leave the building when a man called me.

“Well?”

“Oh, hello. My name is Sean Hawkins. I am doing music, do you know?”

I didn’t know.

“Ocean? Sean Hawkins? Of course you know.”

However, Jamie, sincere to the fans, pretended to know with a smile.

“Wow, really? do you know me Ha ha ha ha ha. It’s an honor. Oh, this is not it. i am your huge fan Today, Walkie Minitrees also heard that you were coming. If you don’t mind…”

“Is there an autograph?”

“uh?”

“It’s a sign. Oh, the pen must be different too. wait.”

“Yes, I have a pen!”

At Jamie’s words, a fan named Sean hurriedly took out a pen.

Jamie took him and signed the uniform, followed by taking pictures.

“Uh ha ha ha. I’ll have to show it to Wayne right away. thanks, thank you so much! Lee, all the Stoke fans are rooting for you. Me too. You are already our hero.”

After that, Sean left after making a lot of fuss, and Jamie tried to move to the car with a smile on his face.

“duck. I was here I didn’t see it, so I looked for something for a long time.”

However, he was caught by someone else in the middle.

This guy’s popularity, I really can’t help it. Jamie turned his head toward the sound, still smiling.

“…Ah, father-in-law. No, Chairman.”

“Just call me father-in-law. ha ha ha.”

The one who stopped him was the father-in-law, Chairman Choi Jang-soo.

“It’s just fine. Allen, call the squad over here. Wilkinson brings presents.”

Gift? While Jamie was confused, the staff moved quickly, and soon the entire squad gathered around him.

“Everyone has a lot of trouble digesting the club schedule on the weekend.”

After taking a look around the squad, Choi Jang-soo said with a smile on his face.

“Today’s volunteer work, and reaching the League Cup final for the first time in 66 years. Everyone deserves praise.”

After talking that far, Choi Jang-soo waved to Wilkinson, the employee he had spoken to earlier. Then he dragged a large cart to the front of the team.

“I am not the kind of person who only praises words. Isn’t it a compliment to tell you to feel better?”

Then he took the gift out of the cart and delivered it to the players.

“Oliver, I hope you keep the center of the team well in the future.”

Even handing out comments to each person.

Even these gifts were all personally chosen by the oldest person.

The price of the gift ranged from as little as 500 pounds to as much as 1000 pounds, in addition to considering the performance in its own way, it was prepared as a gift that the player in question would want.

“Go, thank you.”

Not after the end of the season, but in the middle of the season, the owner personally selects and delivers the gift. The players, who grumbled about what kind of volunteer work they were doing on their day off, were in a situation where they couldn’t help but be moved.

Of course, this wasn’t the end. In the future, it was planned to officially give bonuses to the entire team according to their performance in league and cup competitions.

“Finally, this is the end. The ace of our team in name and reality.”

Last was Jamie.

“Your present is different. Can I talk to you for a minute after the schedule is over?”

“Ah, of course, father-in-law.”

“Then call your agent ahead of time.”

Jamie’s eyes widened as he inadvertently tried to answer. agent? suddenly?

“Even at this moment, transfer offers are coming from top clubs. If you don’t want to lose the team’s ace, you have to renew the contract. Be sure to tell the agent ahead of time that you will be offering significantly higher terms.”

re-contract.

Renewing the contract at the point less than half a year after the transfer?

It was an unheard of case for Jamie.
