106.
The position was not too good for shooting. To be precise, the angle didn’t come out. To the point where you can’t even aim for the opposite post.
In other words, there were only two courses Jamie could aim for right now: above the goalkeeper and between the crotch of the goalkeeper.
‘Was the opponent a good goalkeeper between the crotch?’
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
My memory was fuzzy.
Tall goalkeepers have a relatively weak mid-crotch defense. But now the Manchester City goalkeeper was on the short side for a goalkeeper.
‘Then what’s left is…’
It’s over your head.
I didn’t have to think any further. Jamie shot very hard.
Per-billion.
The moment it hit the instep, there was a great sound. If someone I didn’t know heard it, I’d think it was the sound of something exploding.
“!”
His shooting was very fast and strong. The goalkeeper couldn’t even react.
It was, without a doubt, a perfect goal.
Beep-yee.
‘uh?’
However, the moment the shot shook the net, a sudden tinnitus came to Jamie.
[ ······! ]
Tinnitus absorbed all the thunderous cheers of the crowd and the shouts of his exasperated peers. It was a very intense tinnitus that I had never felt before.
Jamie’s focus wavered. So it was difficult to properly grasp the shape of my colleagues’ mouths, and I couldn’t figure out what they were saying.
“Run!”
Then, at some point, the tinnitus stopped, and not only hearing but other senses returned at once.
“···uh?”
“ha ha ha. I have to run to my wife, what are you doing?”
“ah.”
When I heard it, I was right.
So Jamie did.
“Hannah!”
After 20 minutes of the second half, they were leading with two goals.
That fact reassured Jamie.
I didn’t feel like floating anymore, and I didn’t hear tinnitus anymore.
I could still feel the chilly wind and the moist air clearly. The grass swaying in the wind, the gloomy sky, and beyond the glass wall below, the cheering Hannah was clearly visible.
“what? ha ha ha.”
Then he burst into laughter as he saw Hannah again shouting incomprehensible words.
‘Well?’
Suddenly, he realized that Hannah was repeating certain words, and she frowned.
‘Whoa? What is it?’
Jamie, who inferred the words by looking at the shape of her mouth, soon realized what she was saying.
However, since it was a somewhat unexpected word, he couldn’t help but tilt his head.
‘musical?’
**
“What are you going to do if you win the Premier League?”
One day, Hannah asked that question.
“We should put Hannah and Kai on both shoulders and have a car parade.”
“No kidding, for real.”
“It’s true.”
Jamie, who had never really thought about it, blunted it like that.
“I’m serious, honey.”
“…it’s because I can’t think of it right away.”
“Excluding me, excluding Kai. Just think of honey as something you want to do. One for honey.”
Fortunately, Hannah helped.
“What do I want to do?”
“yes.”
what i want to do
Jamie reflexively thought of Hannah-related things.
“I made it clear. Think without me, without Kai.”
“…”
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
More than five minutes had passed since then, but Jamie couldn’t come up with a proper answer. Still, Hannah continued to wait, and eventually, when about 10 minutes had passed, Jamie was able to come up with an answer.
“musical.”
In the past life, the club once gave the players a ticket to a family musical as a welfare measure.
Coincidentally, among the main players at the time, Jamie was the only one living alone.
It was something that could be passed on as something insignificant. No, if it was Jamie, he would have taken it lightly and overlooked it. Because musicals were a field I had no interest in.
However, on that day, Jamie was lonely. It was sad. I missed Hannah.
So I cried alone in a room with the lights off.
“···Eh? musical? suddenly?”
“yes. I want to see a musical.”
It was related to Hannah, but Hannah had no way of knowing if she didn’t say it.
“Ok, fine. Come to think of it, I’ve seen ballet before, but I’ve never seen a musical.”
And time passed…
[Stoke City 2-0 win over Manchester City]
[The gap widened with Manchester City in second place. virtually guaranteed victory
[Stoke-on-Trent, where the whole city is enveloped in a festive atmosphere]
[ The competition to win the Premier League, virtually ended at Bet 777 Stadium. ‘Stoke City win confirmed’ ]
[Jamie Lee multi-goal explosion. Taking 2nd place Manchester City and virtually confirming the championship. First Premier League title in club history
When articles like this started pouring in after a league match against Manchester City, Jamie was watching a musical with Hannah.
“Kaiya. fun?”
“yes!”
With Kai, of course.
‘Yeah, I’m glad you’re having fun too.’
The title of the musical they are watching now is [Candy in the Forest].
As you can guess from the title, it was a children’s creative musical.
However, coming to see a children’s musical was a different thing from Kai. It was because this was the only musical performance you could see in downtown Stoke-on-Trent right after today’s match. I was only able to see this because I booked with the expectation that Hannah would win the match against Manchester City.
‘It’s worth seeing in its own way.’
I didn’t expect much because it was a children’s musical, but it was quite fun to see it.
[Candy in the Forest] is a creative musical, but it seemed to have taken many motifs from [Hansel and Gretel]. The only difference was that the main characters were not siblings but childhood friends.
‘uh?’
It’s fun. I will come often in the future. Jamie, who had such thoughts, was completely immersed in the play at some point. Then, at the end, I felt like tears would come out in the scene where the two childhood friends reunite after overcoming the crisis.
‘why not?’
I was dumbfounded myself.
It is neither an adult musical nor a children’s musical.
I was a little immersed, but never to the point of crying.
Fortunately, Jamie was able to control his emotions before Hannah found out, and shortly after the show ended, the lights came on in the theater.
“It was fun?”
Jamie controlled his expression and turned his head to Hannah and Kai.
“yes.”
Kai answered brightly…
“Uhhhhh. I’m so sad.”
“…”
Hannah answered while crying.
“ah. Did you overdo it with empathy?”
After a while, on the way home.
Hanna said with a shy smile.
“There is something that a grown adult can empathize with.”
Jamie replied bluntly. It was because he didn’t want to find out that he almost cried.
“How many elements to empathize with! The two main characters are childhood friends.”
“···uh? That’s right.”
“It was just like us! And, that, how to say… The musical ends here, but I thought that the two main characters would continue to live after that, so I suddenly thought of us and my heart felt warm.”
Hannah eagerly expressed her opinion.
“Then you shouldn’t cry any more.”
“Yes?”
“We live happily ever after. The main characters are like that too.”
“…”
Then, at Jamie’s reply, she looked at him with her eyes wide open for a moment.
“honey.”
“yes?”
“Why are you talking so well all of a sudden?”
“I’m always good at talking.”
Ohh. Hannah’s eyes flashed with mischief.
“Good.”
“Well?”
“Because interview requests will pour in soon.”
Oh, sure. Jamie immediately understood what Hannah was saying.
A few days ago, Agent John said that there were over 30 interview requests this year alone. Although he rejected all of them because it was in the middle of the season, his explanation was that requests for interviews would pour in again as soon as the championship was confirmed or the league schedule was over.
“I’m going to make the interview amazing again.”
“Uh ha ha. funny.”
‘It’s annoying, but should I put it off until the season is over…’
Contrary to what he said to Hannah, Jamie thought to himself.
**
a few days later
“My name is Daniel Bart of Sportstime.”
On the way back from training, Jamie is surrounded by reporters.
I couldn’t refuse because it was pre-arranged with the club.
it could be. As a professional player, it is a problem that you have to endure. Besides, don’t you like receiving attention? Jamie tried to convince that.
‘No, I’ll go to the other players as well.’
However, when all of the 20 or so reporters were focused only on themselves, I couldn’t help but worry.
“It is practically the same as winning the league title. Instead, at least two games were left before the championship was officially confirmed. From the standpoint of Stoke City fans, you’ll want to enjoy the joy properly after confirming the championship soon. Are you confident enough to give the fans an official win within two games?”
What an obvious question. I thought so in my heart, but Jamie didn’t express it.
“Of course, I am confident.”
“What do you think is the biggest factor in determining a quick win?”
Well? However, the question that followed was not obvious.
‘What should I answer? Support from fans? Teamwork?’
After thinking about it for a while, Jamie decided to give a non-obvious answer.
“That’s me.”
“…?”
Reporter Daniel Bart, who asked the question, made a puzzled expression. The expressions of the other reporters around him were not much different. For a moment, an expression as if asking, “What are you talking about?” came to mind.
“If I do well, I will win.”
“…”
As a member of the team, I will do my best. Then, won’t good results come naturally?
could have said this
However, Jamie did not want to give a mild answer by distorting the context.
‘If I work hard, I will be able to win.’
‘If I do well, I win.’
For Jamie, the difference between the two was huge.
“ha ha ha. All right.”
The reporter seemed to like Jamie’s answer and took a step back with a smile.
“This is Richard Owen of English Sporty. Are you sure that Stoke City will secure the title after the next two matches?”
“Yes. I am sure.”
“ha ha ha. Will Lee be active?”
“Yes.”
After that, Jamie answered questions from other reporters with almost the same nuance.
[ Whether Stoke City will win, ‘I am the key’ Jamie Lee’s bold answer ]
[“I just need to do well.” The grounded confidence of Jamie Lee, who is ranked first in both scoring and assists]
[“I will make the team win.” Official Jamie Lee. ]
[“I can win the league by myself.” Will Jamie Lee’s provocative remarks come true? ]
Should I say it’s because of it or because of it? That evening, not only soccer-related sites but also general portal sites were covered with Jamie’s interview articles.
“What, you say you’re good at talking?”
Hanna showed the knights with a playful face.
“You are good at it. You are good at telling the truth without embellishment.”
“what the.”
She burst into laughter at the shameless reply that followed.
“hit. You asked me what I wanted to do when the championship was confirmed then. I said I wanted to see a musical.”
“yes.”
“Is there anything Hannah wants to do?”
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
Normally, it would have been time to lie down in bed, but the two of them were hanging out in the living room. It’s been a while since Kai fell asleep early, so it could be that he felt it was a waste to just fall asleep like this.
“Midnight Snack?”
“yes?”
“Eating without a late-night snack? During the season, you can only eat it on game days.”
“What is it. ha ha ha.”
It was too simple for the daughter of the Premier League owner. Jamie couldn’t help but laugh.
“Actually, there is nothing. Do you remember when Honey first returned to Stoke City?”
“Of course I remember.”
“At that time, I will promote directly to the Premier League. I want to win in 5 years. You made a promise that wasn’t like this.”
Hannah put one of her legs on top of Jamie’s thigh. And I was fiddling with my ankles as if I were stretching them.
“It’s heavy.”
“Be patient. anyway. I thought it was nonsense at the time.”
Hannah switched legs, but it seemed uncomfortable, so she just returned to her original position.
“So honey, for the sake of my career, if I can’t keep my promise, I’ll have to transfer to another club right away. I thought so in my heart.”
“But did I keep my promise?”
“So that’s what I mean.”
“ha ha ha.”
Jamie laughed again.
“So now I want to know what to do. Like the musical we saw, it has a happy ending.”
happy ending.
yes, happy ending. Jamie nodded.
If it was a musical, a play, or a movie, now was the perfect time to make an ending.
But life is different.
“What are you talking about. It was a long way to the end.”
“yes?”
Jamie got up from the sofa.
“How many things do you still have to do? Next year we have to win the Champions League, and in a few years we have to go to the World Cup.”
“Oh, honey, honey is insatiable.”
Hannah shook her head. Jamie also shook his head after her.
“Well, right now we have to confirm the league championship. And······.”
“And?”
“We have to win the FA Cup too.”
“ah.”
As if she had forgotten, Hanna opened her mouth in a daze.
Jamie bent down and kissed Hannah on the mouth briefly.
“Let’s go to bed.”
“yes.”
Hannah laughed and rose from the couch, and Jamie smiled along with her.
