Jamie Figures It Out

[@jamesBFC1887]

"stop goin to meh, start going through meh" *Instantly goes on 17 game winning streak*

[@michaelhackett3715]

'We get yeh.' - the team

[@ianzapcic1102]

This was such a metaphorically meaning scene because it shows that Jamie has gone from being the star of the team to the heart of the team

[@matthewdubay1180]

No shit?

[@Actor412]

I love that moment when Jamie realizes that everyone is totally paying attention to what's he saying.

[@MatthewK863]

Oh, people have given him plenty of attention before, but now they're doing it out of respect and admiration. Totally different type of attention! :)

[@boomerbobable]

And Roy gives him the "go on" nod too - well acted.

[@mjtingle1]

I always loved that too. I think Jamie always just saw himself as the talent, and not the leader. Regardless of how much skill you have, being able to command an entire room of professional athletes I would think is beyond challenging.

[@sgtlamancha805]

The Jamie Tartt ‘I’m finally growing up’ moment. Never happens without Ted and Roy

Mentor and Idol

[@Pokeysaurus]

I heard someone on one of these videos say, "Season 1, Jamie thinks he's 1 in a million. Season 2, Jamie decides he's just 1 of 11. Season 3, Jamie realizes he's both." It's true, and such a profound moment of synthesis that every top athlete in every team sport has to accept.

[@matthewdubay1180]

No shit? Isn't that the point? Well discovered.

[@boomerbobable]

Two favorite parts - "4 on 3 - 1 2 3 4" always makes me smile. And, I love how the entire scoring scene uses music that elevates throughout and how they cut back to the fans watching and enjoying the beauty of the game when played as a team. Very well done.

[@joshjamison1035]

If you watch the scene again where they score, all 11 players touch the ball. It’s brilliant. Cheers.

[@boomerbobable]

@@joshjamison1035 So cool - missed that!

[@Adamdidit]

"Four on three!" Love Isaacs wierd calls lol

[@Cloner552]

Actually very valid call, in football overloads are a huge part of the game and 4 on 3 gives the attackers the knowledge that they have a free man and more time to pick a pass or dribble!

[@RylanStorm]

@@Cloner552 I think you've missed the point of that. It's nothing to do with football. It's just what he wants them to yell when they put their hands in as a team.

[@chadh8132]

Best captain

[@hosehoundnchelios]

The beauty of this show was that almost every scene, every line, is reflective of or refers to another scene or line. Earlier in the season, Zava rearranges the board to place himself all alone while the rest of the team is grouped together away from him. Here, Jamie rearranges the board to place himself amongst the team, the complete opposite of what Zava did.

[@thevampirefrog06]

And the way that Jamie went from someone who expected to score all the goals himself, whose father belittled him for playing an assist, to someone who's greatest strength *is* passing to and supporting his teammates

[@PHN-2024]

People forget that Jamie was already familiar with the “Total Football” Concept because He did play with Manchester City FC and their Coach “PEP” was an Proponent as spotlighted in the introduction Video shown by the AFC Richmond Coaches.

[@righteousduke2704]

“THAT. WAS. BLOODY. GORGEOUS!”

[@jayseaborg3895]

Which describes not only that goal but the whole series.

[@itsmeprasad1987]

And that was arsenal football when wenger was there

[@spdcrzy]

It really was. As a passing coach, you couldn't ask for any more fluid of a progression through the field.

[@dclark142002]

I still vividly remember as a kid in 1990s USA who was always playing wingback and winger because of my passing ability...being totally confused by my coach's desire to train me as a Treqartista. You want me WHERE? You want the whole offense to go THROUGH me? What does that mean? How does that work? All I knew before then was the old static defense to forward crossing and long balls...but being the middle maestro...totally alien concept. I am ashamed to say I never did get it for that coach. I did get it a few years later and it was my favorite position to play. Some guys get that orgasmic rush from scoring a great goal...for me, I always got the rush from making that killer pass and setting up the goal. Oh man...best feeling in the world.

[@Aztwecas]

My god dude, trequartista is just a term introduced into football language through Football Manager. It had no meaning before the 2010s when it was used as a term to try and group players together like Di Natale, Del Piero, and to a lesser degree, Totti. There's no way you or your coach were using the term in 1990s amateur schoolboy football.

[@talleysuehohlfeld446]

the definition of "team player"--doing your own job in a way that makes it really easy for your other teammates to succeed.

[@dclark142002]

@@Aztwecas, not the term...no. The concept, yes.

[@aleosti]

@@Aztwecas”trequartista” (an italian term), is definitely from before 2010s and NOT from a videogame. It’s used since AT LEAST the ‘70s/80s here in Italy. I played from early 90s to 2005-2006 here in Italy, and everyone used it as a term. It usually was the position of the number 10. It literally means “player of the three fourths”, meaning the offensive zone of the field between midfield and the box.

[@CROMAT30]

@@Aztwecas we found the edgy reddit nerd who thinks he is better than everybody...hope you are proud of your comment xD and as showing in the comments already, trenquartista is a much older term than football manager and even you.

[@jordandavies4482]

A small detail of Jaime’s character growth I just noticed after rewatching the show, in the first season he would pronounces Richards name the English way, because he didn’t care about him enough to know how to pronounce it properly. Now he cares about his teammates and friends and respects them enough to pronounce his name properly.

[@gabrielbotsford791]

Tres bien

[@johntate6537]

There's a similar moment in No Weddings and a Funeral involving Rebecca. Previously, she hadn't known Nate's name. When some of the players and Nate get out of the bus and go to her to pay their respects, she names them all in turn. Of course, she knows Sam's name, but knowing the rest show that she's become more like Ted - caring who people are and not just seeing them as a means to an end.

[@kaidenparker6259]

"I Should be Hair!!!"

[@tyrant-den884]

its also a good relatively believable way for the team to use Total Football without the actual amount of training that would take. Limited total Football.

[@Thee-bob]

That back heel was beautiful

[@boomerbobable]

Bloody gorgeous :)

[@JosephNoble-x4y]

So happy to see Richard scoring

[@surgeoninwaiting]

I also love Jamie's character development in pronouncing Richard's name properly. He always called him the Anglocised "Richard" but this time he said, "re-shard".

[@meanmutton]

Jamie Tart realizing he needs to become Frank Lampard (a center attacking midfielder for Chelsea and the English National Team and my favorite player all time) is fucking priceless.

[@NoneOfYourBeesWax1]

"attacking midfielder for..." Chelsea? YNWA

[@lorenzohampton2061]

Had to think on this one, Good point brother

[@donthoren8079]

Only difference is Jamie grew up from the jerk he was, Lampard never will.

[@pknv3]

I think he's playing a false 9, like Messi before MSN. It's a playstyle where the center-foward leaves his position and drops to the midfield to create space and to receive the ball in better positions to playmake. Roberto Firmino, one of my favorite players, also played like that at Liverpool.

As a defensive guy, I’m surprised Arsenal gave so much room in the middle and missed more than one mark. But that back heel? Outstanding.

[@DrZaius3141]

I'm still a bit annoyed how they didn't flesh out the progression properly. Roy - a defensive midfielder - was giving Jamie extra coaching. This could have been more than just the cardio they did together.

[@CROMAT30]

at its core, the show isn't about football, its about progression as a person. change football to basketball, hockey or even professional golf (if golf was a team sport) the show would play out the same way. also roy kent was the idol of Tartt, so its like the master is giving the gauntlet to the student, passing all his knowlage to the younger generation :) also they did 3 trainings per day if im not mistaken, could be they only shown cardio, maybe they did work on skills as well

[@gusgrannan2353]

That goal resembles the 2006 Argentina goal against Serbia that Cambiasso finished - 21 passes in a row.
