chapter 23
23.
The Stoke-on-Trent area’s biggest rivalry match, the ‘Potterless Derby’, began to flow one-sidedly.
This is because Port Vale’s key midfielder Frank was sent off.
[Lee, run. ]
[ Instantly deletes two Fort Vale players from the side! ]
[ Lee moves to the center. ]
[It’s far away. Do you see Mikel? ]
Jamie was completely alone in Port Vale, which lacked one man.
[ GOOOAL! ]
[Lee scores the first goal from a long distance!」
And in the 5th minute of the second half, he scored a wonderful mid-range goal from a distance of 25 meters from the goal.
[ Mikel, heading! ]
[Gooool! Mikel solves it with his head! ]
Next was Mikel, the ‘telephone pole’. However, this also started with Jamie’s feet.
[ That’s a great goal! Lee’s pass was amazing, right? ]
[ That’s right. It was a nice pass that fooled the Port Vale defenders. ]
Jamie’s roving pass was directly headed by Mikel.
[ Brian, do you hit me? ]
[ ah! push Lee. ]
[ Lee, Jamie Lee·······. ]
[I’m in! Stoke City score another goal in the 5th minute! ]
The last one was also decorated by Jamie.
After receiving Brian’s pass, Jamie calmly pushed the ball into the goalpost, and the score widened to 3-0.
Coach Charlie, who thought victory was certain, took out Jamie in the 16th minute of the second half. After that, I wanted to see if the flow of the game would go over to Port Vale, but fortunately the result was not overturned.
[Jamie Lee, who had an overwhelming performance in the derby game]
[‘You’re too good to be in EFL League One’ fans of other teams clamor]
[‘Port Vale’ Baines coach, “Lee is a player who will work in the Premier League. I just couldn’t stop him.” ]
In the Papa John’s Pizza Cup, it was a match between division 3 teams. However, it was a derby match representing a region, and one player scored 2 goals and 1 assist and won the match. Of course, there were bound to be articles related to this.
“Lee is a player who will work in the Premier League. I couldn’t possibly stop him. Wow, did the rival manager say something like this?”
Hannah’s eyes widened as she read the article.
“That’s how great I am.”
“···weird.”
“yes?”
“I knew he was good at it, but I wondered if it was to this extent.”
“hahahaha.”
Hannah cracked a joke, and Jamie burst into laughter.
“Aren’t you doing too well? I’m going to win the real Premier League. ok?”
“ha ha ha. Because you really do.”
Jamie reacted positively to Hannah’s jokes. I know she’s joking on purpose to ease her anxiety.
Now this is the obstetrics and gynecology hall.
To be precise, it was an obstetrics and gynecology department in Corbridge Road, where Hannah received regular checkups.
Today was the day of the regular check-up, and they had finished all the tests and were waiting for the results.
“Hannah Choi?”
After a while, the nurse called for Hannah.
“Oh, the results seem to have come out.”
“Baby, I’m nervous.”
Hanna said with a worried expression as she placed her hand on her chest.
“Last time, the results were good. Why are you so anxious?”
“But…because I was in poor health before pregnancy.”
“It will be fine. Let’s go.”
It was a comforting position, but Jamie was also anxious inside. Originally, it was because Hannah’s health was not very good at this time.
The two got up from their seats and were soon escorted by a nurse into the treatment room.
“All test results are good. It is so healthy that it needs no explanation.”
The attending physician was a middle-aged man with a warm look, and he spoke in a soft tone with a smile on his lips as usual.
“uh? It was like that last time, and again?”
“Yes. Literally everything is fine. Both the child and the mother.”
The doctor then returned the baby ultrasound and other test results to Hannah.
“Do you remember when you first came?”
“Yes······. I was worried because my blood pressure was a bit high.”
“Preeclampsia is what mothers with high blood pressure should be most careful about. Hypertension associated with pregnancy. But it’s a bit strange. In fact, I checked it several times to see if the test was wrong. Let’s see this. From the second checkup, my blood pressure dropped miraculously, and now it’s completely normal, right?”
pregnancy toxemia.
Jamie was familiar with the name.
It was a disease that Hanna suffered from in her previous life.
‘But why did it change?’
He knew that Hannah had suffered from high blood pressure even before she was pregnant. After that, she developed preeclampsia, which played a decisive role in Hannah’s health deterioration.
However, now that he has returned to the past, it is said that he has become normal.
[If you ask, you won’t get an answer. I just know it’s my last chance and hope for the best. ]
The words my father said before returning to the past.
‘Did this give me another chance?’
Jamie couldn’t help but think so.
“In fact, when the results come out like this, there is not much I can say as a primary care physician. All I can say is that you are well and go home.”
“hahahaha.”
Even so, the doctor explained in detail, pointing out each item on the result sheet.
“How could that have been explained?”
“Ah yes. thank you.”
“Then see you at the next regular checkup.”
After Jamie and Hannah said hello-they used to say hello in Korean when dealing with doctors strangely, they came out of the hospital.
“Look at this. You said you’d be fine?”
said Jamie, holding Hannah’s hand.
“I don’t know. Do you feel more anxious because you always say good things?”
Hanna replied, looking back and forth between the hospital building and Jamie’s face.
“If the doctor says so, so be it. You even listened to the explanation while looking at the results. Really everything is fine.”
“That’s it, but…”
“Everything will be fine.”
Jamie tightened the hand he held and said.
“Our Hannah and our baby in the belly are all safe. Everything will be fine.”
“really?”
Is it really so? In a fleeting moment, such a question crossed his mind, but Jamie was immediately convinced.
Unlike the original history, I came to Stoke City, not Dortmund.
Unlike the original history, the house was immediately merged and the wedding was held.
Unlike the original history, Hannah’s health and the health of the child in her stomach were all good.
everything was fine Nothing could be worse.
“really.”
Jamie tightened the hand he held once again and said.
**
everything was fine
Except for Stoke City’s skills.
“Aww! Can’t you put that in!”
“Hey Michael, do you score goals only with your header? If you’re going to do that, cut off your feet!”

League match against Bristol Rovers FC.
In the 27th minute of the second half, Mikel, who played as a starter, missed a decisive opportunity.
The score is 0 to 0.
It was home, and it was a game that corresponds to the turning point to rise to the top, so I couldn’t be satisfied with a draw.
“lee.”
In the end, Director Charlie prepared Jamie.
“Go in and just do whatever you want.”
That was the end of the operational instructions. And three minutes later, Harry was removed and Jamie was put in.
“Hey, he lived.”
Brian, who was struggling alone on the front line, brightened when he found Jamie.
“Lee, the front is very blocked. It’s like my asshole the year before last.”
“···what?”
“At that time, I was constipated because of the stress. Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha.”
Jamie didn’t respond and went to his seat.
The score was 0-0, tied, but the content of the game itself was pushed a lot by Stoke. Excluding the chance Mikel missed a moment ago, it was actually possible to draw.
‘Do whatever you want.’
Jamie remembered what coach Charlie had said before he was put in.
When pushed unilaterally like this, even if a goal was scored in a so-called ‘one-man show’, there was a possibility of allowing an equalizer right away. No, there were times when I provoked the opponent and even allowed a come-from-behind goal.
‘The stadium atmosphere must be completely changed.’
Jamie was determined.
In this case, a large room, no, a fancy room is needed.
“Jay!”
In the 37th minute of the second half, the chance finally came.
Brian cut the ball down the half line and passed it to Jamie.
‘A splendid room.’
Tok, tok. After receiving the ball, Jamie rolled the ball with his toes and moved forward little by little.
‘Let’s try it, what.’
Then, at some point, it suddenly sped up and sprinted forward.
‘Hmm?’
It was a normal ‘hit and run’, but the nearby Bristol players couldn’t stop it.
‘feel so good.’
Read from noble mtl dot com
Literally, it felt good. Originally, Stoke-on-Trent, among them, the home stadium ‘Bet 777 Stadium’ was a particularly windy place. Today, however, it wasn’t just a strong wind, but a wind blew from behind as if to push my back, saying ‘try running’.
Jamie kept running without slowing down. Then I ran into another Bristol defender, and I quickly took off the mark with two light upper body paints.
‘do. can do.’
It just didn’t feel good. My condition was good today.
“Don’t run! Keep your distance!”
In front of the penalty box, the defender kept the distance by changing his feet in line with Jamie’s movements.
Jamie tried to step over and paint the upper body several times, but it didn’t come through.
‘He likes Mark.’
Jamie admired inwardly.
at that time. Brian penetrated diagonally from the left.
Jamie glanced over there and raised his left foot as if to make a pass.
‘Break through while pretending!’
And, on the other hand, lunge forward with your feet folded.
ugh
The defender, who tried to quickly change his balance due to Jamie’s painting, fell down.
‘Now all that’s left is two central defenders.’
The current situation is to beat three defenders.
The last two remaining defenders stood awkwardly, neither coming forward nor keeping their seats.
In fact, there was nothing they could do about it. At the diagonal, Brian with a good kick was taking his place, and behind Jamie, Robin, who was in good condition recently, was ready to penetrate at any time.
Took.
Jamie sent the ball slightly forward.
flinch.
A visibly flinching defender.
‘Should I try it boldly?’
The defenders were too stiff. As I watched it, an idea popped into my head.
‘This is originally for fun…’
Otherwise, an angry defender could have tackled him roughly. However, now that they were too conscious of Jamie and withdrawn, I thought it would be okay to give it a try.
Jamie made a big motion as if to run forward again, then suddenly stopped with both feet side by side with the ball.
‘uh?’
‘no way?’
A few quick-witted people noticed Jamie’s intentions.
“Oh shit…”
The same goes for the coach of the opposing team who was watching the game.
The moment you unknowingly spit out swear words…
hook.
The ball passed Jamie’s heel, then his back and head, and finally the defender’s head before it landed back at Jamie’s feet.
It was a technique called rainbow kick, rainbow flick, sandpaper, etc.
“…”
The technique succeeded so neatly, the defender who marked Jamie and even the goalkeeper in front of him stared blankly at the ball for a moment.
Only Jamie, who succeeded in the technique, calmly continued the next move.
As it was, he fired a shot into the left corner of the goal.
squash.
The goalkeeper hurled his body late, but the ball had already hit the net.
[eee-eeeYA! ]
The cheers of the crowd rang out half a beat later than usual.
“wow.”
“That crazy…”
“What a monster.”
The teammates did not cheer, unlike usual, but looked at Jamie with puzzled expressions.
However, Jamie calmly performed a goal celebration and ran towards the power analysis room where Hannah was.
