115.
A few days ago, Hannah filmed a reaction video of the Champions League draw with the wives of other soccer players. I thought it was a bit artificial setting for a documentary filming, but I still worked hard on the filming. I didn’t even know it was because, as Jamie said, ‘secretly a servant’.
“No, even the reaction video of the power analysis room.”
And time flies, the day of the Champions League match against Marseille.
“So. I will follow you home.”
The news of the filming in the power analysis room showed a negative reaction from the workers.
In fact, it was reasonable for power analysts.
They weren’t direct players. He was not the owner, director, or manager in charge of the team.
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
Nonetheless, the documentary crew took an unusually high interest in the power analysts. Even a few days ago, the filming team even followed us to an internal dinner party.
“When I talked about it the other day, other teams were similar. I understand that the production team is full of passion, but I think it’s a bit excessive.”
“Isn’t that the case with scouts?”
One of the disgruntled power analysts asked Hannah, who was silent.
In fact, there were several differences between them and Hannah. They are ordinary office workers, and Hannah is the daughter of the owner. They were the spouses of ordinary office workers and Hannah was the wife of a key Stoke City player.
“…Well, hahahaha. I am not working full time.”
Hannah knew this too, so she just glossed over it.
“Oh, there he comes.”
Fortunately, the film crew arrived before the conversation could go any further.
“How do you predict today’s game?”
“Surely Stoke City win.”
They asked for pre-interviews with several staff members, including Hannah.
“Hannah, do you want Jamie to score a goal today?”
“Actually, I don’t really hope for that. Whether you want it or not, I’ll put it in anyway.”
“Oh, that’s what I heard. ha ha ha. So, don’t you have any expectations while watching the game?”
“Even if you don’t expect anything, there is something you want.”
“What is it?”
“I hope Jamie doesn’t get hurt.”
The pre-interview consisted of obvious questions that made me wonder why they were doing it.
“Do it, do it.”
“Don’t be too conscious of the camera, just watch the game as usual.”
After a while, the pre-interview was over and the match finally started.
Aside from the filming team’s request to ‘look at it as usual’, Hannah was able to immerse herself in the game right away. Because Stoke City got their chance almost at the start.
“Five!”
Taking advantage of the gap where the Marseille defenders were not yet in line, Jamie attempted a surprise pass.
“Ahhh!”
However, Damien blew it in vain, and the power analysis room was filled with sighs.
‘what a waste······.’
Hannah felt sorry for herself.
“It’s a good start.”
“Isn’t that bad?”
“right. I blew it up too empty.”
“ha ha ha. But you took the chance first.”
People’s opinions about the scene a moment ago were a bit divided.
‘Not bad.’
Hannah thought it was a pretty good start, even if it was disappointing.
With his teammates showing good performances lately, Jamie seems to have put some pressure down. To be precise, from the beginning, he did not try to solve it himself, and in the beginning he took a somewhat wait-and-see attitude.
But today, I tried to pass actively from the start. It wasn’t just an ‘or else’ pass. Even if Damian blew it away, it seemed to be a pass aimed at the most goal and least effective shot.
‘Is it because it’s the champions?’
different from usual Maybe, today, I can actively come out from the beginning. With that thought in mind, Hannah looked up at the field.
[Oh, unstoppable Lee without a gun. ]
[Oh, unstoppable Lee without a gun. ]
[ I tell my son. ]
[Our team is the Premier League winning team. ]
[The team going to the Champions League. ]
[ Jamie Lee took me here. ]
Perhaps the crowd also felt that it was unusual, and they continued to sing Jamie’s personal cheering song.
“Five. run.”
It wasn’t long before Damien blew his chance. As if trying to live up to people’s expectations, Jamie tried to break through for the first time in a long time even though it was early in the game.
“Ohhhhh.”
It is a little known fact, but the French Ligue 1 is a league that prefers rough play as much as the Premier League.
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
Marseille is a Ligue 1 team.
When the Stoke City ace tried to break through directly, several players tried to play wildly in succession.
But Jamie, as if expecting this, sped up and ran away before he could make a proper attempt.
Of course, you can’t always avoid an opponent who is determined and rushing at you. Keating overlapped, and when Brian moved to the center in response, he opened it to the left without overdoing it.
“good.”
“Will you come up?”
“No, I have to go myself.”
While Keating kept the ball and went up, the staff in the power analysis room quickly exchanged opinions.
Two-woong. Keating’s choice was a breakthrough. After confirming that the Marseille defenders were concentrated near Jamie, he decided to solve it himself.
“Oh oh!”
The Marseille players couldn’t have known that Keating was showing good performance recently. Several defenders around Jamie immediately joined Keating.
“Ahhh!”
“I liked it!”
Keating then fired a powerful shot from an angleless situation, which unfortunately flew right in front of the goalkeeper.
“uh?”
But that wasn’t the end.
Jamie ran straight for the second ball, as if he knew ahead of time that Keating was going to shoot, and as if he had foreseen the angle the shot would go and which way the opposing goalkeeper would knock it off.
“eee-eee-yeah!”
It was almost like an empty goalpost. Jamie calmly scored the second ball.
[eee-YeeeA! ]
“Jay! lee!”
“hahahaha!”
The audience and power analysis room were all filled with excitement.
“Yaaa! Ha ha ha! Crazy!”
Same goes for Hannah.
“First Champions League goal. Stoke City’s historic first goal was scored by Honey! Crazy, really!”
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
No, among them, he was uniquely excited and screamed.
Despite the fact that he told the interviewer earlier that he was not expecting a goal.
**
After scoring the goal, Jamie ran straight to the power analysis room. Through the glass wall, I could see Hannah, who was beyond delighted and almost went mad.
“ha ha ha.”
When I saw it, I burst into laughter.
Jamie and Hannah each scored a goal celebration to the camera and shared the joy with their teammates.
‘I got a little lucky.’
The game resumed soon after, and Jamie caught his breath and reviewed the goal situation a moment ago.
‘There are a lot of defenders in the middle. On the other side is Ben. Therefore, Keating will choose to shoot directly after breaking through. However, in that case, since there is no angle, there is a high possibility that the shot will be directed in front of the goalkeeper…’
Even in a brief moment, Jamie predicted what would happen next, and his prediction came true. Although he had some luck, it was possible because he had been evaluated as a world class for a long time, including his past life.
‘When was the last time you picked it up and ate it?’
I thought so.
Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while.
Although it is often expressed as ‘picking up and eating’, it is not easy to connect the second ball to the goal. Various abilities such as predictive ability, situation judgment, and activity are required.
In the case of Jamie, he had all of the above abilities, but apart from that, his role in Stoke City was more focused on solving himself or giving his teammates a chance, so there were not many things to score ‘pick up’ goals.
‘There could be more of this happening now.’
But not anymore. Stoke City’s attacking options have diversified. Not only that, but the performance of Keating and other colleagues has increased to an extent that cannot be compared to last season.
‘Then there will be more things that connect the second ball to the goal. Even if it’s not me.’
The thought went all the way there.
“Damien.”
Jamie didn’t want to end his thoughts with mere thoughts.
After a while, after the first half, I called and stopped Damian as he entered the locker room.
“lee. The opening goal wasn’t very elegant, unlike you.”
Damien didn’t even know Jamie’s heart and talked nonsense. He said that Jamie’s ‘pick up and eat’ opening goal did not conform to his highest priority in life, ‘elegance’.
“Scoring 0 goals gracefully vs scoring 20 goals not gracefully.”
Of course, Jamie wasn’t the type to listen to such nonsense.
went straight to the point.
“Well?”
“Choose. Do you want to live as an elegant half striker, or a less elegant and goal scoring striker?”
“…”
Damien was no fool either. I understood Jamie’s words at once and immediately fell into thought.
“Think about it. If possible, finish worrying before the start of the second half.”
It was Jamie, not anyone else. Damien couldn’t hear it through one ear.
“like. The overlapping was good, and the movement of Jamie and Brian, who had defenders, was good. Damian. Damian Manibel? Are you listening to me?”
“…”
So, even after the locker room conversation began, he continued to think to himself.
“this. Is it a silent protest for replacement? Then, in the second half, take out Damien and use Robin…”
“Oh no!”
Fortunately, I suddenly came to my senses at Director Milo’s threats, not threats.
“You seemed to be in a daze, did you come to your senses? Then Damien, move wider in the second half. If necessary, apply forward pressure. Show off your presence a little more. It is troublesome as it is.”
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’s words that followed were quite mind-boggling. Unlike usual, he asked for direct improvement from Damian. Milo could also be said to be proof that Damien’s goalless streak was not to be taken lightly.
“You are winning. But, it’s home. Besides, I’m someone who thinks we’re a team many times better than our opponents. 1 to 0 is a pity. No, it’s not enough. Everyone, please work harder.”
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 left the locker room one last time.
“…”
Even though I was winning, I heard quite bitter voices. The air in the locker room was heavy.
“…That, shall we go soon?”
The atmosphere did not recover until halftime was almost over, and at the words of captain Oliver, the players rose one by one from their seats.
In the hallway leading to the field, Jamie pondered whether or not to add a word to Damian before changing the subject and approaching Keating.
“Can you actively shoot in the second half?”
However, he spoke loud enough for Damian to hear.
“Well? yes. can do it But why?”
“Even in the second half, actively look for the second ball. Brian, can you do it too?”
He immediately made the same request to Brian.
“of course. But if I hit a shot, I might not be able to catch the second ball. Because there is a high possibility that it will lead directly to the goal.”
“Yes, yes.”
Brian’s reply that followed went through one ear, Jamie thought to himself.
‘I’ve done this, but he’ll come to his senses.’
If he couldn’t come to his senses after all this, there was nothing more he could do.
And after a while, the second half begins…
‘No, this much?’
Jamie was a little taken aback.
