The following days that led up to the next match were filled with training and more training for Jason and his efforts were rewarded when the manager put his name in the line-up.

The manager wouldn't just pick him over more established players at the club just because he had performed well in just one game… actually, the manager could if he had a bias towards the player, but Sergio Conceicao wasn't that kind of manager.
Sergio Conceicao would not just put Jason in the team regardless of the other players' opinions as this could easily cause dissent in the team which was not good for the players' morale and the team's chemistry.
