45.
In the 12th minute of the second half, Jamie was finally put in.
‘Vincent Herrero…’
Jamie glanced at the Mallorca defense.
It was someone I had already met in my previous life.
At that time, Vincent casually blocked Jamie’s ‘hit and run + back shot’ combo that no one had been able to block.
‘What is that?’
I was taken aback for a moment, but Jamie quickly found a way to break it, as always.
It was a series of irregular techniques such as rainbow flick-sandpaper.
In the end, on that day, Vincent allowed Jamie a hat trick and completely collapsed.
‘How is it now?’
When I watched it from the bench, it looked great.
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
No matter how bad the physical condition is, I don’t know why they rot as a candidate in Mallorca.
It was a pre-season friendly match today, so I sent him out as a starter, which was fortunate for Stoke City. In any case, I was able to see his true face.
At the same time, I was fortunate as Jamie.
It was because I was worried that if I smashed him today, the transfer would be cancelled.
However, since he had sufficiently proven his class in the first half, he felt that he could play the game more comfortably.
Took. The ball went straight to Jamie, who spun around to avoid the approaching midfielder.
Oh oh.
The home crowd exclaimed for a feat they hadn’t seen in a long time.
Tok, tok. Then Jamie, who had been moving forward little by little, suddenly increased his speed at some point.
Two-woong.
The defensive midfielder in front of him did not react to the sudden movement.
‘great.’
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 condition was good today. Jamie went straight ahead without hesitation, and reached the front of the penalty box right away.
And in front of him stood Vincent Herrero.
‘Your eyes are nice.’
He was fiercely staring at Jamie, as if he wanted to stop the opponent with just his eyes.
However, sharp eyes and soccer skills were completely different issues.
‘Can I stop this at this point?’
Jamie cast a back shot with a feeling of longing.
Whoa-woo.
A sigh immediately erupted from the crowd. Vincent blocked it again.
Jamie, who lost his center of gravity, fell to the floor, and Vincent hurriedly kicked the ball out of the touchline.
“Lee are you okay?”
Robin, who was nearby, approached me worriedly and asked.
“Oh, that’s cool.”
“Whiyu. Vincent or that guy is so bloody. The eyes are no joke.”
As Robin stuck his tongue out, Jamie stood up and glanced at the Stoke City bench.
‘Is this enough to be recruited?’
I couldn’t hear an answer, but the shocked look on Charlie’s and Milo’s faces seemed enough.
“Robin.”
“uh?”
“Let’s show it to the new head coach.”
“···What?”
“There is a player who has perfectly adapted to the new formation.”
Beep.
The referee ordered a throw-in, and right fullback Mario picked up the ball.
“Hey.”
Jamie stopped talking to Robin and ran towards it.
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
Mario passed him straight away.
‘What about Robin?’
was running
Jamie turned and checked the other side. Brian was also penetrating down the left flank.
done. Jamie gave the ball to Harry who approached and moved to the center of the field.
“Harry.”
And when he reached the penalty box, he asked for a pass, and Harry delivered the ball to him as if he had been waiting.
Again one-on-one with Vincent.
‘lets think. What am I trying to do?’
Jamie waited for Vincent while stepping over. However, Vincent did not rush into it, and waited for Jamie’s next move with his center of gravity back.
‘Isn’t it coming out like this?’
Following the painting of the upper body, he changed his body direction greatly as if he was shooting. Vincent only changed the direction of his body to match his movement, but still did not attack.
‘At this level, most championship players will be stopped.’
Jamie was satisfied.
But, just up there. Right now, I had to focus on the pre-season friendly matches.
Besides, now he has to quickly adapt to Milo Conrad’s new formation.
‘Now.’
Jamie took a big move as if he would break through soon, and stabbed a through pass with his right foot outside.
Took. Robin, who exquisitely broke the offside line, pushed it calmly.
“EE-YAA!”
hey cheers are good
Jamie couldn’t help but smile satisfied at the loud shouts he hadn’t heard in a long time.
“Jamie!”
After scoring the goal, Robin ran straight to Jamie.
“Yes, yes. thank you?”
“ha ha ha. right. The pass timing was amazing.”
Right now, Robin was playing as an attacker who leaned slightly to the right rather than in the middle. So, if the timing was a little early or late, he could catch the ball with an ambiguous shooting angle, but when he caught the ball, he penetrated exactly at the timing when the angle to the goal was exactly 45 degrees.
“That’s right, but your movement was good too. Robin.”
Jamie gave Robin a high-five and went back to his seat.
After that, the game went a little bland. Feeling a sense of crisis, the Mallorca coach substituted Vincent, a candidate, and put in the main defender. However, it turned into a handshake and allowed Jamie not only an equalizer but also a come-from-behind goal and an additional goal.
“hahahahaha. No one expected our team to win, but we won. I’m sorry that I surprised people with this. “
“hahahaha.”
Home team locker room after game.
Director Charlie seemed very happy.

Not only Charlie, but everyone else present was also in a good mood.
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
Not long ago, a team that belonged to the 3rd division won against a team from the Spanish 1st division.
Even in the last friendly match of the pre-season.
It was a situation where the atmosphere couldn’t be bad.
“I’m glad we finished the last pre-season game well. Everyone suffered.”
pair, pair. Captain Oliver clapped his hands briefly, and soon everyone in the room clapped.
“Well? why are you applauding The game is over, but training will continue.”
But at the words that followed, the applause gradually subsided.
“No, the real training should start now. Everyone be prepared.”
“…”
Soon, not only the applause but also the smiles on the faces of the players disappeared.

Now Stoke City is also a club belonging to the Championship.
The news of the big win against Mallorca continued on the day of the match, the day after that, and the day after that.

‘A good player would have come out of the regular game. He is just a player who has been working on the bench for the second year. It’s the wrong recruitment.’
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
Not only fans, but also the media and soccer experts gave mixed reactions.
At this point, it could have been quite confusing for the Stoke City board.
However, Stoke City owner Choi Jang-su and manager Charlie Adam were real men.
[ (Official) Stoke City signs Mallorca defender Vincent Herrero ]
[‘Vincent Errero joins’ Stoke City, aiming for championship retention. ]
They just recruited right away.
“Robin, did you see the article?”
A few days later, Stoke City training ground.
The players, who could not have known this fact, were chatting while waiting for the transfer student.
“Vincent Herrero?”
“uh. What kind of transfer did you do in such a hurry? Even the medical tests have already been completed.”
“hahahaha. Well, there’s nothing wrong with joining early.”
“But Vincent’s mood wasn’t a joke. Your eyes are so cruel As good as head coach Conrad.”
“Brian, come to think of it, Primera Liga has been on loan before. Have you ever met a transfer student?”
“···doesn’t exist.”
Each expressed their expectations and curiosity, but for some reason, Brian was very quiet, unlike usual.
“what. Where are you sick?”
“no. It’s fine.”
It’s strange. Jamie looked at Brian with his eyes narrowed. didn’t look sick. Rather than that…
‘Are you paying attention?’
I don’t know why, but it felt like I was looking at my colleagues.
“Hey, the director is coming.”
“uh? what.”
“Vincent Herrero?”
“Wow, are you joining us already?”
After a while, when coach Charlie, coaches, and transfer students appeared together, attention was focused in an instant.
To be precise, all eyes were on transfer student Vincent Herrero, who had a presence on the pitch a few days ago.
“ruler. Vincent Herrero, who has joined Stoke City as of today. Erero, introduce yourself.”
Read from noble mtl dot com
Like a real man, Charlie made me introduce himself without saying anything.
It was a somewhat burdensome way if you were shy or introverted, but fortunately Vincent had a nice personality.
“Hola~”
He smiled brightly and said hello.
“Oh?”
“what. Which country are you talking about?”
“It’s French. You stupid bastard.”
“It’s Spanish. It’s embarrassing, so please don’t say something stupid.”
Some of the players were embarrassed by the sudden Spanish language.
“Ola means hello. hi. My name is Vincent Herrera from Mallorca. My name is Vincent Herrera Sanchez, but just call me Sancho.”
Fortunately, he could speak English.
“Sancho?”
“Isn’t that Mexican food?”
“That’s nacho. please.”
However, he still said things he couldn’t understand.
“Your last name is Sanchez, why do you call me Sancho?”
Robin, the only common sense person in the team, asked.
“do not know. Sanchez originally meant Sancho’s son, but for some reason, my father called me that since I was a child. It’s just like a nickname I’ve been called since I was little.”
When out of play for a long time, even the brightest of personalities tend to become depressed or moody. But there was no worry or concern on Vincent Herrera’s face.
‘He has a comfortable personality.’
Jamie summed it up that way.
“By the way, Vincent, no, now I should call myself Sancho. Anyway, Sancho also marked the uniform with that name, so everyone should refer to it.”
Director Charlie said with a smile on his face.
“Everybody clap.”
Applause ensued, and Sancho playfully bowed and walked over to the team.
“Now, let’s introduce the next transfer student. come forward.”
“uh?”
“Wasn’t Vincent Herrero the end?”
“I told you to call me Nacho.”
“It’s Sancho…”
And at Charlie’s next words, the team started buzzing again.
As if it was funny, Charlie said with a smile still on his face.
“Come forward. Brian.”
“Eh?”
All eyes were on Brian.
Then he smiled awkwardly and took a step forward.
“What is it, Brian? You are on our team.”
Since it was Brian who had been with Stoke for almost two years, it was only natural for the players to be flustered.
“You guys really don’t care about your colleagues. ha ha ha Brian was originally a rental student.”
“ah.”
Some of the players spat out short exclamations as if they remembered it now.
“It was a two-year long-term lease, but there was a full transfer option. So I was thinking of extending it for another year, but I just brought it with me. All welcome applause.”
Applause continued, and Brian, who had been making an awkward expression, smiled brightly only then.
I was quite nervous because I thought it was a surprise announcement in my own way.
“This is the end of today’s transfer student introduction. Since we already have two transfer students, we will now have a water jug member. Do you remember what Head Coach Conrad said last time?”
Oh yeah. water jug. It was a word that most of the players had forgotten for a while.
“Can’t you see one right now?”
Following Charlie’s words, the squad started whispering again.
“what. no one.”
“Did you mean the water jug was released?”
“Who has been released already?”
While the players were whispering, a person walked from afar.
With a pitcher of water directly in your hand.
“…Head coach Conrad?”
Jamie, who belatedly confirmed his identity, muttered out loud involuntarily.
“hahahahaha. yes, that’s right Of course, assistant coach Conrad is not a pitcher of water. I just brought it.”
Charlie laughed loudly at Jamie’s self-talk.
‘How can there be no sane person?’
Jamie, on the other hand, wanted to sigh.
“In the future, before the opening, I will check the training score and tactical understanding for the day. It’s called scoring. And the athlete with the lowest score that day actually draws water from that water jug until training is over the next day.”
“Ahh······.”
Some players let out a sigh.
“hahahahaha. The opening game was not far off. Let’s all run to the death together to achieve this season’s goal.”
Either way, Charlie burst out laughing again at the top of his head, wondering what was so good about it.
“Director. Can I ask you something?”
The dumbfounded players couldn’t react like this, but Jamie raised his hand alone.
“uh? lee? What is it? Ask all the questions first.”
Charlie’s eyes widened.
“I think we haven’t told you our goals for this season yet.”
And at Jamie’s question, Charlie grinned and turned around.
ta-ang.
There stood Milo Conrad, who had set a pitcher of water on the floor.
“It’s a promotion.”
He answered for Charlie.
“Direct promotion to the Premier League. That is our goal this season.”
“…”
Everyone was shocked by that ambitious answer.
But Milo Conrad didn’t stop there.
“Moreover, we aim to win the FA Cup.”
In the yard that can’t be guaranteed to remain in the championship, beyond promotion to win the FA Cup.
“…”
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
None of the players could open their mouths to that absurd aspiration.
“It’s good.”
Only Jamie responded plainly.
