Chapter 842: You’re Welcome
Charlie Goode was given a yellow card and Tottenham were given a penalty for the foul in the penalty box.
After getting up, Jason picked up the ball and threw it to Kane, saying, "You’re welcome," and then headed outside the box.
Laying on his back on the grass with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed, he waited for Harry Kane to score the penalty.
"What are you doing man?" Eric Dier asked, having come over when he saw Jason laying down.
"Just chilling for a bit, I’ll get up when the celebrations are over,"
"Join me," Jason grinned at him. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"..."
"Hell,night as well," Eric didn’t bother thinking too much and also lay down.
Even without looking, up, the commentatry kept them updated and the loud shouts of the Tottenham fans rocking the stadium let them know the ball had gone in.
What they weren’t updated about was that Kane after looking for Jason to celebrate with him saw him lying down up the field and ran over.
He didn’t know what Jason was doing, but he also lay down to join him and the other Tottenham players joined in as well.
The camera flashes got especially intense at this scene.
{Easy, Easy, Easy. They might as well just take a nap.
Conte didn’t even know what to think of his players when he saw them lying down on the field after scoring a goal.
The Tottenham fans however didn’t need to understand and began making sleeping gestures as well at the cameras.
On the field, Jason had noticed what his teammates were doing, but while they were doing it for celebration, he had initially done it because he was feeling a bit winded earlier after the tackle.
He didn’t know how that turned into all his teammates lying down around him in celebrations, but the match was still ongoing.
Rising up, he said with a smile, "I think we should get up now."
Standing up and sharing some hugs and high fives with each other before heading back to their positions.
The rest of the game was quickly passed by with Tottenham continuing to hold onto the reins of the game.
Conte’s attacking tactics usually involved his players running at their opponents, but it was based off the fact that Conte himself wasn’t a very technical player good with tight spaces when he played.
This was why it was considered vertical tikitaka. It didn’t require exceptional talent to play in that manner, but speed and moving the ball quickly were indisposable parts of the playing style.
Because of this, Conte usually made his players press all over the pitch, but also to draw back and make the opponents come onto them so that when they finally got an opportunity to counter, there were fewer players behind the ball and more space to run into.
Jason’s presence however changed things a bit and presented a new tactical opportunity to Conte’s men.
Jason could suddenly get past his marker in the middle of the field and begin running at defense forcing a counter opportunity without them having to waste so much time running up and down the pitch and it was usually just as sudden as the initial tactic.
This helped Conte’s men to avoid long spells of them chasing the ball or just passing it around because they couldn’t break past their opponents.
It also gave Jason a chance to "express" himself at the opponents expense and entertain the fans.
The only downside to this was that it was more draining to the players who were already high strung.
Also, it could cause problems if someone lost the ball when they were rushing forward.
Conte couldn’t even say anything to stop Jason because annoyingly enough, he hardly ever lost the ball when he began dribbling unless he was the one tackled and not the ball.
It was some of his teammates who couldn’t keep up with him and lost the ball, causing everyone to have to double back.
After a few more minutes of entertaining football, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
The two teams had come into the game as somewhat equal sides based on their performances up till now, but Brentford was suddenly thrashed out of nowhere and had barely looked threatening all game.
And it wasn’t because of a lack of effort, but rather because Thoma Frank’s side had been completely outplayed.
Rarely did one see such a game between two sides that were supposed to be equal.
Even on paper, Tottenham just had a few more exceptional players on their squad than Brentford did and safe to say, it was those exceptional players who made the difference in the game.
Those players were now giving interviews after the match.
"How did it feel to get your second goal of the season? Some relief perhaps?" A reporter asked Kane.
"It’s always good to score and I always want to score because it helps the team but I have a lot more than goals to offer the team,"
"If my role requires me to do things other than scoring, then as long as it helps the team to win, I’m all hands," Kane replied.
"With two goals here in this game, you extend your goal scoring record and maintain your place at the top scorer in the premier league this season. Do you think you can keep this up all season and maybe even finish as the top goal scorer?" The reporter asked Son.
"I hope so," Son said and laughed.
"I’ll work hard and I hope that can turn into goals because like Harry said. It helps the team when there are goals and I hope we can keep the fans happy," Son said, a bit more seriously.
"Jason, it’s your first premier league game after your injury and you looked really good out there. How did you feel coming into the game and now after the game?"
"Should we expect more appearances from you in the coming weeks?" The reporter turned to Jason.
"Uh, I feel good. We’re still monitoring the situation, but I’ve recovered well, I think and it feels really good to play in the Premier League again after so long," Jason replied with a small nod.
"That celebration after Harry’s goal where the team lay down on the pitch. What brought that about?"
