Romantic on the Field

A family home on Fairbank Avenue, Stoke-on-Trent.

[(The Thing) Chelsea captain Roger Barrett reunites with his wife? Capture the weekend date scene]

ㄴ [Upload family photos to wife Maria Barrett’s SNS. ]

A man was looking at his cell phone with an expressionless face.

The reason why the man’s expression was expressionless despite the warm article was simple.

Because I’ve seen it too many times.

I saw it yesterday, I saw it the day before yesterday, and I saw it this morning. I saw it at the training ground and at lunch.

I literally watched it until I was bored.

It could be said that it was only natural for her to have an expressionless face after seeing what she saw.

“What, are you reading that article again?”

Then, at the sound of a voice coming from behind, a smile quickly appeared on his face.

“yes. No matter how I look at it, I don’t get tired of it.”

The man’s name is Roger Barrett.

He was the captain of Chelsea FC and the father of Chelsea FC supporter Tom Barrett.

“How are the comments?”

The woman holding him from behind is named Maria Barrett. Roger’s wife and Tom’s mother.

“Era of snow?”

Now that Tom was at school, Maria tried a bold touch.

“They say she’s just pretty. They say it looks good.”

However, it was too drastic.

huh Roger’s breathing changed momentarily.

Moreover, the glass balcony is open and there is a building directly across from it. He lifted her body up with both hands as if pulling a radish.

“stop?”

“What if the paparazzi are taking pictures?”

“Yes.”

Maria stroked Roger’s hair and headed through the living room to the kitchen. It was time for Tom to get home from school, and he was slowly preparing dinner.

‘Whiyu.’

After confirming this, Roger let out a short sigh and turned his gaze back to his phone.

[Stoke City who took victory against Chelsea. Our next opponent is Leicester City. ]

[‘Captain’ Roger Barrett overpowered Jamie Lee. Will he show an outstanding performance against Leicester City? ]

‘Stoke City….’

After confirming that Maria had gone, Roger thought for a moment.

‘This makes sense.’

In fact, he still couldn’t believe the reality.

I just did my best in the game as usual.

Even though he was a bit harsher than usual, no, even though he was ridiculed the most after debuting as a pro, that was just his own business.

I never expected that it would affect my relationship with Maria.

[ Maria – honey. Do you have time this weekend? Tom wants to see you. Let’s have dinner with Tom. ]

However, that appearance moved Maria’s heart.

We contacted each other for the first time in almost a year, ate together, reconciled, and lived together again.

‘Should I be thankful for this.’

When I thought about it, I laughed out loud.

Thank you for making fun of me so desperately. Even thinking about it was ridiculous.

‘still······.’

Still, I hope it goes well.

I couldn’t help but feel that way.

[Jamie Lee, will he perform well against Leicester City? ]

[ Who is the Ballon d’Or winner this time? Natal Munoz ‘powerful’, Jamie Lee ‘ambush’ ]

I hope you will show good performance in the upcoming game against Leicester City, and I hope you will perform well at the upcoming Ballon d’Or awards ceremony.

Roger murmured inwardly as if praying.

There was a time when Leicester City and Stoke City were at odds with each other.

[Part 3 leaguer Jamie Lee, will he become ‘Cinderella Man’?]

[Leicester City ‘under consideration’ for Lee recruitment rumors]

[ What is Jamie Lee’s opinion? ]

[“I’m a noble body, don’t even dream of being under a million pounds.” Jamie Lee asks for £1m a week in Leicester City offer

It was because Leicester City failed to sign Jamie.

To be precise, the problem was that Jamie ‘over’ed Leicester City’s offer.

[Gooool! Jamie Lee scores the opening goal with a surprise shot from long range! ]

[ Do you drive yourself? Oh no! It’s Jamie Lee again scoring from long range! ]

[This is Lee who scored a hat-trick against Roger Barrett in the last Chelsea match. ]

[It seems that he decided to only shoot mid-range shots today. ]

Of course, now, a few years later, it has become irrelevant.

[Stoke City, who won 3-0 against Leicester City after Chelsea. ]

[Too big power difference. The evaluation was ‘like a candidate for the championship’. ]

Compared to then, Stoke City’s status has changed so much.

Read from noble mtl dot com

Leicester City is still an ordinary Premier League mid-table team.

Against such Leicester, Stoke literally won a landslide victory with Jamie.

[‘Overwhelming League No. 1’, Stoke City. ]

[Is the league championship virtually confirmed? ]

At the point where the league is less than halfway through, the team that most football officials think is guaranteed to win.

[Stoke City, will advance to the Champions League round of 16 confirmed? ]

[Sporting CP wins against Marseille. The Champions League is also confirmed in Group 1. ]

[Jamie Lee, hat-trick in the Champions League. Current top scorer. ]

[‘Stoke City confirmed to advance to the round of 16’. ]

[The opponent in the round of 16 is FC Barcelona. ]

Despite their first appearance in the Champions League, the team is evaluated as capable of reaching the quarterfinals, semifinals, or even more.

That was the status of Stoke City right now.

And······.

[ (Official) 2041-42 Ballon d’Or, Natal Munoz ]

[ Ballon d’Or, with Munoz. “Spain’s greatest ever striker.” ]

[‘There was no change.’ Ballon d’Or winner Natal Munoz of Real Madrid. ]

[ Stoke City’s Jamie Lee, not Bayern Munich’s Carl Frey? Rumors about the Ballon d’Or rankings]

[Lee Byun is not a Ballon d’Or winner, but is in second place. Jamie Lee finished second, ahead of Carl Frey. ]

Jamie Lee’s status has also changed significantly.

Since 2022, the Ballon d’Or award ceremony has been held based on the season, not the year, and Jamie was ranked second in the 2041-42 season at the Ballon d’Or.

I don’t know about this 42-43 season, but the 41-42 season was almost non-existent on the international stage.

In other words, he was ranked second in the Ballon d’Or purely with his performance in England, only with his team’s performance.

[The most unconventional Ballon d’Or in history, second place. ]

[Is the Ballon d’Or award for the next season a foregone conclusion? An anonymous official said, “Euro, even if you go to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, you will receive it.” ]

This word also became a story that Jamie could win the Ballon d’Or right away if he performed at least a minimum of his performance on the international stage this season.

“Jay.”

“···Yes?”

“Why are you so bruised? Didn’t you lose your concentration at the thought of winning the Ballon d’Or?”

Of course, it is too early to discuss this now.

“···no.”

Four days after the Ballon d’Or ceremony, away locker room at City of Manchester Stadium.

“like. Manchester City are currently in third place behind Newcastle.”

I was in the middle of a locker room conversation ahead of Manchester City.

“I also recorded a 0-2 loss against Newcastle just before. Now is a good time to break it.”

Milo hit the whiteboard with the palm of his hand, just as his predecessor, Charlie Adam, had done.

“Let’s win and come.”

Although Milo spoke quite spleenly, Jamie was actually quite carefree.

‘The power is much lower than that of Newcastle.’

I definitely realized it in the last game of last season.

The real contenders for the title are Newcastle United, not Manchester City.

Jamie was judging that.

‘Abel Simon and Ryan Young just need to block it well.’

Even until last year, Manchester City was obviously a tough opponent to beat. But now it is different. The players blended well into the new tactics and teamwork improved greatly. Furthermore, they recruited Mark Rice, who is called the ‘second Busquets’.

Now, objective power cannot be seen as falling behind.

“Let’s go, Stoke.”

“Stoke! Stoke!”

With that thought in mind, Jamie stepped onto the field.

Meanwhile, at that time.

FC Barcelona Power Analysis Lab.

“As expected, Jamie Lee, right?”

“I guess so.”

Coach Xavi Hernandez, who opened the era of the so-called ‘Second Xavi’, who took charge of Barcelona for the second time, was looking at the monitor with a spleen expression.

Xavi Hernandez.

A person who is evaluated as a living legend of Barcelona along with Lionel Messi.

There was a person he was paying attention to recently.

“Can Manchester City stop Lee?”

“well. I think it might be difficult.”

That’s Jamie Lee.

He was currently the ace of Stoke City.

“Well, that Roger Barrett couldn’t stop it either…”

In fact, it was Jamie who was paying attention not only to him but also to soccer people around the world.

“It’s starting.”

“Let’s see what countermeasures we have against Lee and how well they work.”

Soon the game started.

[ Jamie Lee. It’s aggressive from the start. ]

As the commentator said, Jamie drove the ball directly at the start of the first half.

[ Rafe Ekman grabs the uniform. ]

[ ah! Jamie Lee comes out softly! ]

Jamie then beat the central midfielder, the defensive midfielder, the fullback and the central defender in turn.

‘this.’

Xavi, who played alongside Lionel Messi during his active career, naturally had no choice but to think of him.

[Gooooool! Gooool! ]

[This is Lee who makes a wonder goal worth aiming for the Puskas Award again! ]

[ great! ]

Single run from the half line. Goal after beating four people in an instant.

“…I can’t stop it either.”

“Iknow, right.”

Coach Chavey, head coach, and power analysts stuck out their tongues.

[Gool! Jamie Lee scores multiple goals! ]

[ Jamie Lee shows his class. The Manchester City defense can’t stop him! ]

That wasn’t the end.

Jamie wore the Manchester City players throughout the game and drew the so-called ‘aggro’, and in the second half, he even scored a key goal to secure the team’s victory.

“This makes it clear.”

widely. Chabi turned off the monitor and said.

“You can’t stop Lee by just sitting down. You can’t stop him just by being dragged away.”

The staff nodded. They too had to agree.

“When is the Stoke City vs Newcastle United match?”

“It is mid-December, Director.”

“Fortunately, it’s before our match.”

The staff also nodded violently as if agreeing with Xavi’s words.

For them, it was fortunate that Stoke City faced Newcastle before their round of 16 match.

“How has Pavel been doing since moving to Newcastle?”

“Pavel Kopekki is currently second in scoring behind Jamie Lee.”

Newcastle was a team that was evaluated as the only weakness of the forward striker.

However, they overcame this by signing one of the league’s best strikers this season, Pavel Kopekki.

“Compared to Matteo Suarez, who has the edge?”

“… Uhm. I think it might be similar.”

This was a situation very similar to Barcelona today.

After losing the league title to Real Madrid last season, they signed Matteo Suárez, dubbed the ‘Uruguayan Superstar’. Thanks to that, this season I was competing with real madrid.

For them, Stoke City v Newcastle United couldn’t help but feel like a pre-sim.

“great. If Newcastle United win against Stoke City, it will be a lot of reference for us.”

However, the next words of the chabi did not immediately agree.

‘That’s good, but what if Newcastle loses?’

‘Aren’t we also unlikely?’

Maybe it’s because I saw Jamie’s performance a while ago. It was because such worries naturally came to my mind.
