Romantic on the Field

73.

“lee!”

Damien raised his hand and shouted loudly.

But again, Jamie chose to shoot instead of pass.

Per-billion.

Jamie’s shot seemed to fly in a straight line, but at some point it started to fluctuate greatly as if shaken by the wind.

‘uh?’

Damian, who was waiting for Jamie’s pass, realized that he didn’t have to.

‘This is a goal.’

It was because he intuitively sensed the goal.

Indeed, the shot grazed the Chelsea goalkeeper’s glove.

T-uh!

However, contrary to Damien’s intuition, the shot did not lead to a goal.

The ball hit the goal post with a heavy sound and went out of the goal line.

‘…is it because of my mood?’

Damian tilted his head at the sense of discomfort he had felt from earlier.

Subtly, no, the feeling of not openly giving a pass.

‘Couldn’t it be territorial or bullying?’

Damian, who had rarely experienced anything like it in his life, felt at a loss.

And 10 minutes later, Damian was convinced.

‘Right.’

As in practice, Damian signaled fullback Kaneshiro Kay-KK for an early cross.

But almost immediately after, Jamie asked to pass to him, and KK passed to the team’s ace instead of the freshman.

There was no reason to ask KK for a pass at that timing. No, even if he did, he didn’t have to raise his hand and scream and make a request.

‘What did I do wrong?’

Damien was originally a player with a strong ego.

If someone ostracized or did something to keep him in check, he wouldn’t care if he did or not, or rather flatten his nose.

However, the opponent was Jamie.

In Stoke City, Jamie’s status was truly ‘untouchable’. The player who had just transferred was not a player to say anything about.

‘What should I do?’

Aside from Damian’s concerns, the subsequent match proceeded in a similar fashion.

Jamie threatens Chelsea’s goal. It is not narrowly connected to the goal.

Immediately, Chelsea counterattacked with organized play. It also doesn’t produce results.

25 minutes in the first half, 35 minutes, that’s how time went by.

‘It can’t go on like this.’

The clock on the scoreboard was pointing to 40 minutes past 35 minutes in the first half. As the end of the first half drew closer, Damian started to get nervous.

‘I score a goal. Or help the team. One of these two must be fulfilled.’

Didn’t you hear this from coach Milo before the game?

If this continues, there is a high possibility of being replaced in the second half.

‘It’s not enough to just lead the defense.’

Even though it was in the second division, he was the one who scored double-digit goals in the professional league. At the end of the season, he also attracted interest from several first division teams.

‘We need to move more actively.’

Instinctively, he knew what he had to do. He came out of the penalty box.

“Harry!”

It didn’t stop there, it went down even further.

“…”

Roger Barrett, who had been marking him, stopped following him and returned to his seat.

done. Confirming this, Damian raised his hand to Harry, who had the ball.

Took. Fortunately, Jamie didn’t interfere this time, and Damien was able to receive Harry’s pass right away.

‘Uh, what should I do?’

The problem was then.

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

Modern soccer requires more diverse tasks from strikers, such as pulse nine (fake striker), pressure striker, and attacker specialized in linkage.

But Damien was more of a traditional striker. As a so-called ‘goal catcher’, his main pattern was to take a shot immediately after receiving the ball from inside the penalty box, especially close to the goal post.

In a situation where the opposing defense is all in place, like now, he has rarely produced results on his own outside the penalty box.

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

Moreover, the opponent is not the championship, but Chelsea, a strong player in the Premier League, who is going to the Champions League.

‘What should I do? Also, should I try to break through?’

For an instant, my mind went blank. I didn’t know what to do right now.

“Hey.”

Fortunately, Jamie rescued him.

Damien, who suddenly came to his senses, passed to Jamie and then penetrated into the penalty box again.

It was a different movement from being stuck in the penalty box like before and moving to a good position to receive a pass from time to time.

[The one-top striker, who was only inside the penalty box, suddenly came down and wanted to receive the ball, then passed it directly to the second-line midfielder and penetrated into the penalty box again. ]

To be precise, it was a move that could throw the defense into confusion.

‘done.’

Damien’s movement, which was difficult to understand, created a small crack in the Chelsea defense.

puck.

Jamie fired a low, quick shot through the crack.

“ah-!”

Beyond the goalposts, away fans let out a sigh.

Jamie’s shot literally went off the target by a span.

Oh, that’s too bad. Damian, who had been chasing the ball, sighed inwardly and turned around.

‘uh?’

Then he found Jamie, who gave him a sneaky thumbs up.

“Nice pass.”

“…”

‘It was an incredibly simple pass.’

Damian answered in his mind.

“like. The performance itself is unequal. In fact, the first goal seems more likely for us to score first. I especially liked the movement of Damien Manible at the end.”

But what is this?

After the first half, coach Milo also praised me.

“Let’s go to this member for a little while longer.”

I don’t know, but I’m glad I did well anyway. Besides, there was no replacement. Considering that it was before their debut, it was not a bad achievement.

‘Should I move more actively?’

As the second half began, Damien moved widely even sideways.

Thanks to that, he exchanged passes with Brian, who played as a left winger, and in the 10th minute of the second half, he stabbed an overlapping fullback Keating with a space pass.

However, he could not seize the proper opportunity as he was far from the goal post.

‘Shall we try to infiltrate again?’

Songchungi eat pine needles, and humans have to chew and swallow what they can digest. Same goes for football players. You have to do what you are good at.

‘To get a starting spot, I have to show my strengths.’

Damian, whose thoughts had reached that point, stopped moving sideways and tried to penetrate into the penalty box.

“Hey.”

But at that moment, Jamie passed him.

“…”

It was the first pass after the game started.

It was a pass at a completely unexpected point, so Damien was a little embarrassed even though it was a fleeting moment.

“Hey.”

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

Meanwhile, Jamie called him again. I wanted to ask for it right away, but when I looked up, he was already penetrating into the penalty box.

‘Now.’

If you are even 1 second late, it is offside. It wasn’t too difficult to figure that out.

Took.

The ball left Damien’s feet and landed on Jamie.

Immediately, Roger Barrett, the core of the Chelsea defense, sent his arms behind his back as if he were holding his hands behind his back, and then blocked Jamie.

And right away I lost my balance. Jamie swung outward after flip flaps.

However, it seems that the touch was a little long. The ball went very close to the goal, and as expected, the Chelsea goalkeeper jumped out.

‘Caught.’

The distance was too close. If you shoot, there is a 99%, no 100% chance of getting hit by the goalkeeper.

uh? Damien’s eyes widened at that thought.

Jamie seemed to have expected his shot to be blocked as well. So he even passed the goalkeeper.

[ eee-YeeeA! ]

It is natural to score a goal into an empty goalpost.

The away fans cheered beyond the goalpost, and Jamie also performed a goal celebration plainly as if it were natural.

‘As expected, Jamie.’

Looking at his back, Damien admired.

I thought it was great when we met as the opposing team, but it was more than that when we played as the same team.

‘He’s a more self-centered player than I thought, but he still has skills…’

At that moment when her thoughts led to that point, after the celebration, Jamie turned and looked straight at Damian.

“Nice assist.”

And the praise that follows.

“…hahahaha, it was an elegant goal. lee.”

Damien replied with an awkward smile.

Soon Jamie passed Damien and returned to his seat.

‘Did you mean by any chance?’

Damien was also going back to his seat, and a sudden thought occurred to him.

‘I didn’t pass in the first half, was it not just territorial or bullying, but an act to change my movement?’

Actually, because of that, I had to move differently than usual, and thanks to that, I was able to assist Jamie.

‘If it’s real…’

Damien turned his gaze back to Jamie.

**

‘It’s much better.’

Jamie glanced at Damien, who was looking at him.

Of course, compared to Robin, he still lacked a lot in terms of movement. Still, I thought this was pretty good for my first try.

Above all, it would have been difficult to break through Chelsea’s thick defense with only Damian’s play, which is like a single player. Even so, it was very meaningful in that I came up with an improvement plan and even produced the result right away, even though I received help instead of Jamie’s help myself after one game.

Beep-big.

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, Damien was substituted out and Robin was brought in.

At the same time, Chelsea also made a change of players.

‘…Chelsea’s manager is also mad.’

Roger Barrett, who showed excellent defense throughout the first half, was put in an attacker.

It was very common for the losing team to drop a defender and add an attacker when time was running out. I could understand.

However, there was no need to leave out Roger Barrett, who is doing well among the two central defenders.

‘Well, it’s a good thing for us.’

A misjudgment by the head coach will present a crisis to the team and an opportunity to the opposing team. Stoke City did just that after Jamie’s transfer. Manager Charlie, who had not yet properly identified the players, made several irrational moves, which soon led to Stoke City’s unfortunate draw or defeat.

“Jamie!”

In the 44th minute of the second half, before the end of the game.

“Lee, run!”

Jamie caught a pass from Vincent Herrero-Sancho near the half-line.

[LEE! ]

[ RUN! ]

[ lee! lee! ]

Stoke City coaching staff and away fans chanted his name.

One of Jamie’s specialties was to score a goal after breaking through dozens of meters alone in a counterattack situation.

It was natural for them to have expectations.

Took.

However, Jamie didn’t.

He stabbed Robin with a through pass at a very early timing, enough to make the Chelsea defense team, which was very nervous, lose steam.

‘Since the freshmen did one thing, our veterans should show that they are still alive and well.’

Jamie’s through pass had such an intention behind it.

[ eee-YeeeA! ]

Fortunately, the Stoke City veteran has proven that he is not dead yet.

[Unexpected changes from before the opening. Reasons to look forward to the Premier League this season]

[Chelsea FC, who was aiming for the championship beyond the Champions League, ‘Ducked’ to the promoted team. 0-2 defeat to Stoke City]

[ Who is the main character of the opening game? 1 goal and 1 help, Jamie Lee made a big success]

The promoted team won the opening match against a strong team that was aiming for the championship beyond the Champions League.

Of course, as soon as the game ended, numerous articles poured in.

[ ecpese** – aaa! can not believe it. Stoke City beat Chelsea in their Premier League opener! ]

[ peperm** – calm down, friend ]

[ deskja** – Where are all the guys who said Stoke City won the Championship? come out all ]

[ toweln** – I hope Jamie Lee will come out with the guys who said he’s going to win the championship. ]

[ natura** – Sorry. That’s me. To be honest, I didn’t know it would work in the Premier League. ]

[ sleepw** – I said. Lee said that he is a player of a different class no matter which stage he plays on. ]

[ thothu** – Anyway, it feels good to win. The cheering song was right. Lee will take you to a good place. All the way to the top of the Premier League. ]

[ chelse** – Are you sane? Stoke City are a team that just got promoted. I only won one game. I know it feels good to win Chelsea, but don’t overdo it.]

[ gwarat** – yes, next Chelsea fan ]

The reaction of football fans was also hot.

Half of them were praising Jamie, the other half expressing surprise at Stoke City.

[ Damien_Prince ] [ Me, Damien’s debut. To be honest, I struggled in the beginning. However, the adaptability of geniuses is different from that of criminals. As expected, I showed my class as soon as the second half started. It was a pretty satisfying match. ]

[Ah, Jamie Lee’s play was beyond imagination. ]

[How much? ]

[I showed off enough play to change even Damian. ]

[I, Damien, was a player on a different level…]

Because of that, the transfer student’s debut and the transfer student’s personal SNS posts were buried without much attention.
