108.
Jamie, who allowed a chance to counterattack because of his own free kick, ran with all his might and blocked Pavel’s shot.
“what. Jay, are you crazy?”
“Ha ha ha. If there is a ‘Savior of the Year Award’, you will receive it.”
Stoke City players passed by and handed over a word of praise. However, Jamie, who ran at full speed from end to end of the field, was out of breath and could not answer properly.
Fortunately, West Ham didn’t get a clear chance until Jamie recovered.
“Jay, hit me!”
“Ah-oh! Does that miss you!”
However, Stoke City also did not seize a clear opportunity. Afterwards, Jamie made several more direct attempts, but they all narrowly missed the goal.
In the end, the first half ended with a point behind.
“I don’t think it’s going to be an easy match.”
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
Milo, who entered the locker room, made a fortune as if he were talking about other people.
‘Why am I doing that?’
Even his predecessor, director Charlie Adam, did this sometimes. Jamie didn’t understand either Charlie or Milo.
“Let’s not overdo it. Jay, don’t try to figure it out on your own, except for obvious offensive opportunities, and take over the overall attack coordination.”
Still, what followed was a fairly specific tactical instruction. It could be said to be the difference between Milo and Charlie.
“If we can’t make a tie until the end of the game, let’s use our teammates until then. Focus on creating chances for Ben and Damien in the right halfspace.”
“Yes.”
“Beng, now you’re used to moving to the center, right?”
“be used to.”
“like. Damien Manible, please move actively inside the penalty box. Like Robin.”
Even after that, Milo gave pretty detailed comments to each player.
“Jay.”
After the locker room conversation, I was about to head out into the hallway when Head Coach Nick approached Jamie.
“How is your condition. It’s fine?”
“…”
Why are you asking me all of a sudden, do you look like you’re not feeling well? With that thought in mind, Jamie put off an answer and looked at Nick.
“You did a hard sprint earlier.”
“ah.”
“The reason the director told me not to try to solve it myself was because he was worried about you. It’s an important match, but it’s a time when you run a lot of stamina, so don’t overdo it.”
It was Nick, who had been coaching since Charlie Adam’s days. No, he had been a coach since Jamie was in the youth team before that.
‘He’s a good coach.’
Although he was always under a manager with a strong personality, Nick was second to none in terms of his loyalty and affection for the team. He was also a coach who took care of each player quite meticulously, even if he didn’t show it off.
“···Yes.”
However, since he was not in a situation to say this directly to his face, Jamie just replied that way.
The second half started soon.
West Ham, a team famous for ‘Dak Gong’, pushed Stoke hard even though they scored the opening goal.
Of course, at the center were Pavel and Milos, but today Milos seemed to be tasked with thoroughly pushing Pavel.
“Cut the angle!”
“No, it’s Pavel!”
In the penalty box, even when he had a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper, he didn’t shoot directly and passed to Pavel.
It was so blatant that even the Stoke players could predict Milos’ next move, which allowed Mutombo and Sancho to react appropriately in every crisis.
“It’s Jamie!”
Stoke, trailing by one point, was not alone in suffering. Starting from Jamie, I tried to attack without rest.
“Pierce directly. Step back!”
In the meantime, it was Jamie who preferred to solve the game himself. So every time Jamie caught the ball, West Ham players had no choice but to be nervous, but thanks to that, Stoke City rather got a variety of attacking opportunities.
In the 8th minute of the second half, Damien’s shot also started from Jamie’s foot.
Ralph, who had carried the ball from the penalty box arc to the half line, passed it to Jamie, who was slightly biased to the right.
Jamie peeled off the rough Levi Steel with his upper body paint, then stabbed Beng diagonally through.
Weng changed direction several times, confusing the opposing full-backs. In the meantime, Jamie moved to the corner of the penalty box, and Bengi, who confirmed this, chose to pass instead of breaking through.
At that timing, Damian moved from the center of the penalty box to the right. Jamie’s one-touch pass towards him. Damien shoots again with one touch.
[ Ahhh! ]
Unfortunately, the shot hit the defender’s foot and was out.
‘Dino Igreg…’
It was Dino Igreg who blocked the shot.
Dino Igreg, a Croatian national team player signed during the transfer window last winter.
It’s hard to believe that he was signed mid-season, so he quickly melted into the team and quickly established himself as the heart of West Ham’s defence.
“Keatting, go up!”
Even after that, Dino Igreg’s activities continued.
Jamie draws the attention of West Ham players, while Ben and Damien actively take action.
Occasionally Brian would join in center or Keating would overlap.
“Nice try, Keating.”
“Almost there! Let’s move a little more actively.”
However, it didn’t lead to a goal every time. To be precise, at the crucial moment, Dino Igreg blocked it.
‘I’ll have to make a decision soon.’
It’s not like you can’t just trust your teammates and play forever. Jamie felt that the time was coming when he had to deal with it on his own.
25 minutes in the second half. In the end, after discovering that the opposing players were concentrated in the penalty box, I decided to try shooting myself.
‘I have to pull it out at this point.’
It was a judgment that included such calculations beyond simply trying to solve it on its own.
puck.
He passed Levi Steel and the fullback who had abandoned Weng in succession, then hit a shot with the instep.
“…”
And for a moment I was taken aback.
The shot hit the West Ham defender’s face, who hurriedly raised his head.
“Seo, the save was good!”
“great job!”
I guess I got hit right. Aren’t you injured? I was worried about that since I was a human being, but I was relieved to see the player who was hit get up right away.
coo coo coo.
A moment of relief. Immediately, the rain-soaked dark clouds made an ominous sound as if they had indigestion.
It’s raining. pouring soon It was a fact anyone could have guessed. Jamie looked at the dark clouds floating in the sky and the electronic display board below them with an uneasy gaze.
After that, Stoke’s corner kick attack went back to nothing, and West Ham pushed Stoke again with Pavel and Milos as if they could not give up the initiative.
“Jay!”
And when the 35th minute of the second half was approaching, Milo came out to the technical area and called Jamie.
“…?”
As Jamie looked up, he raised both hands and pointed towards the West Ham net.
It means to climb up and play.
‘do.’
Yes, I’ve been patient for a long time, I thought.
Jamie, who was allowed to release the seal, started running as soon as he caught the ball in the right half space.
The air was humid. It felt like moisture was filling my lungs with every breath I took. So running was more difficult than usual, but it was not a situation to complain about.
‘Brian, Keating.’
Even while running, I kept checking the position of the players on the field.
Keating was overlapping, and Brian was moving to the center.
Correspondingly, Jamie turned and moved from right to center, then from center to left halfspace.
In the middle, Levi Steel tried a rough fight, but each time he got away with a painting move.
‘Is it now?’
As he approached the left corner of the penalty box, the West Ham full-back followed the overlapping Keating. Thanks to that, there was a space in front of the moment, and Jamie put his left foot back as if he was going to shoot.
Char-evil. As anyone can see, it was the shooting timing, so the central defender, who had ‘face-blocked’ a moment ago, made a tackle as if he was falling forward.
‘done.’
Jamie made a shooting fake and a change of direction at the same time. The shooting angle was opened again.
puck.
However, this time, Jamie’s shot hit the defender at the end and went out. The difference was that this time it was the head, not the face, and the player who blocked it was Dino Igreg.
‘little bit more······.’
It was disappointing, but Jamie wasn’t too disappointed. I held my breath and waited for the next opportunity. Even with the extra time, there were only about 10 minutes left. There was no time to be disappointed.
“Brian. then go ahead Pay attention to the offside line.”
“Okay.”
He called Brian, who was going to kick the corner, and gave a brief command. It was an instruction that was conscious of Dino Igreg, who stopped scoring at the last minute every time.
‘I’m sure you’re watching?’
I had to score the equalizer right away. There was literally no time to be disappointed.
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
Nonetheless, at this moment he remembered a person watching the game at home.
‘No, two people.’
He glanced at the relay camera on the touchline.
**
Hannah was watching TV while biting her nails.
It was time for the sun to set.
In mid-May, it was time to get warmer, but the place where the FA Cup final is going on now is England. It was famous for its unpredictable weather.
The sun will set soon, and to make matters worse, when it starts to rain, the risk of injury will rise exponentially.
When the accident reached that point, Hannah couldn’t help but worry.
[ Ahh-! Pietro Mutombo’s shot misses the target! ]
The game also didn’t go well. Stoke City continued to attack, but were unable to score an equalizer until the 40th minute of the second half.
[ Pavel takes the pass from Milos. ]
[Do you hit me? ]
[ ah! Vincent Errero cuts it off at just the right time! ]
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, West Ham did not let go of the attack even though they were winning. It wouldn’t be strange to concede an extra goal at any time.
“Daddy lost?”
It seemed that Kai, who did not know the rules of soccer at all, seemed uneasy even to the point of view. I quietly watched TV from the side and asked in a trembling voice.
“Nope. Dad will score goals.”
“goal?”
“Ha ha, Dad will win.”
“…”
Kai tilted his head.
“really?”
“Yeah, really. Let’s trust Dad. No, let’s cheer hard.”
“Hmm?”
Kai tilted his head again at the unfamiliar word.
“Cheering! Try it. Stoke!”
“Sudo……?”
“Oh my goodness. Stoke, stoke!”
“Sudoku, Sudoku.”
[ Jamie Lee, running again! ]
While Hannah was doing early education, she heard Caster’s urgent voice.
[Maybe it could be Stoke City’s last attack. ]
[ Shall we try to break through directly this time? ]
Jamie crossed the half line.
“Kaiya, look at Dad! Dad.”
“Dad!”
He moved from the right halfspace to the center and back to the left, passing the opponents, just like the attacking attempt earlier.
[ Jamie Lee, great technique to get out of the pressure! ]
[ Ned Keating, running on the left… ]
[Should we make the same choice as before? ]
Keating moved to the left and Brian to the center. However, unlike before, Brian, who was moving sideways, suddenly changed direction and tried to penetrate forward.
The move caught the attention of the West Ham defense.
“honey!”
“Dad!”
Hannah and Kai shouted almost simultaneously. If someone else had seen it, they might have thought it was a very funny scene, but their expressions were infinitely serious.
[ Jamie Lee overtakes Levi Steel, who is quickly following! ]
As if answering the call of the two, Jamie took a shot right after passing Levi Steel through a change of direction.
It was a rather hasty move, so Jamie lost his center of gravity and fell as soon as he fired the shot.
Fortunately, the shot flew right into the corner of the goal.
[ eee-YeeeA! ]
The result is goal.
[I’m in! Jamie Lee! Score a great goal! ]
[ This is Jamie Lee scoring the theater equalizer just before the end of the game! ]
“Kyaaa! Honey! Kaiya! am i right? Dad scored a goal!”
“Dad!”
Excited Hanna hugged Kai and screamed.
She wasn’t the only one excited. Immediately, Stoke City players jumped on top of the fallen Jamie.
[ What a wonderful goal! ]
[ Jamie Lee returns to square one right before the end! ]
[This is Jamie, who is congratulated by her colleagues. ]
[hahahahaha, hahahaha…, huh? ]
[ Angry, angry Jamie Lee. ]
Ugh? Hannah, who was performing a goal celebration with Kai at the relay’s words, returned to TV.
On the TV screen, Jamie was caught getting angry at his colleagues as the broadcaster said.
“Why are you angry…?”
After a moment of doubt, Jamie, who expressed anger, ran towards the relay camera. Then, he hurriedly kissed his ring finger, overlapped his fingers to show the so-called ‘K-Heart’, and kissed the camera in a hesitant manner.
“ha ha ha.”
I’m mad at you for interrupting the celebration. Hannah, realizing the reason belatedly, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Dad!”
“ha ha ha.”
Kai struggled as if he wanted to run towards the TV, and Hanna burst into laughter once more.
