Fox in the Penalty Area

"Fox in the Forbidden Zone"

Under the leadership of captain Juan Ramirez, Hulay walked into the locker room, and then met one by one with his teammates who would be with him day and night.

However, his mentality has changed dramatically from when he first went to Leeds City.

How did he meet his teammates for the first time?

In the team's cafeteria, he ate alone in a corner with the camera crew. He also thought about taking the initiative to get to know these people, but he didn't know how to get to know them or how to take that step. It was the team manager who brought captain Lorenzo here to get him connected with the team.

And it wasn't until Charlie Potter took the initiative to chat with him that he integrated into the team.

This process of contact and integration is not long, but it does exist.

Without Charlie Porter, it might have taken Hulay longer to integrate into the team.

He didn't even know how to integrate into a completely unfamiliar team - he had no similar experience before.

Whether he is on the Dongchuan Middle School team, or on the Flash Stars, Olympic team, or national team, he is always led by acquaintances.

In Dongchuan Middle School, there are Mao Xiao and Meng Xi.

When he went to the Poseidon Youth Team, he was directly guided by his "godfather" Zhao Kangming, so that he was strongly labeled as a "Zhao Kangming faction", was implicated by Zhao Kangming, and was ostracized by Sun He...

When he arrived at Flash Star, he also had Wang Guangwei as his leader, leading him to integrate into the first professional team in his career.

From then on, everything fell into place.

No matter how he moves around in the domestic football world, he will always meet acquaintances around him.

For example, if you go to the Olympic team, there will be Wang Zijian and others.

Who hasn’t heard of the story of scoring 11 goals in half a season and helping the Stars avoid relegation?

But when he left the country and went to a broader European stage, all the connections he had accumulated before were severed.

Clark and Matt were familiar with him, but they couldn't protect themselves at that time, so naturally they couldn't help him integrate into the team.

So when Charlie Potter took the initiative to talk to Hu Lai, it was really a great opportunity and help for Hu Lai himself.

At that time, Hu Lai still needed to be led and led by someone before he could truly step through the door.

Otherwise, he will always live in his own world - it's not like he can't do it. Before he met Li Qingqing, wasn't he always like this?

Inferiority and arrogance, timidity and stubbornness, seemingly contradictory personality traits all come together in him.

But it's completely different now.

Madrid Pirates is a wealthy club, and he came from a small team, Leeds City. But he will not have the mentality of "looking up to the rich", nor will he regard the players whose names he has heard of for a long time as stars, nor will he have any star-chasing mentality.

Because like them, the name "Hu Lai" has long been known to everyone.

Hulay found that he was more confident. Whether facing the Madrid Pirates or the Madrid Kings, he could treat them with a normal mind.

This kind of confidence is not a bluff, but a change that comes from the deepest part of your heart.

Thinking about it carefully, maybe his mentality has quietly changed since he caught up with Li Qingqing.

It's that feeling of "the goddess likes me, how can I not be embarrassed".

Not only does Hulay feel good about himself, but when the Madrid Pirates players see him, no one will treat him as a nobody.

Before Ramirez could introduce Cardoso Tonini, Ion Martinez, who had just been introduced, jumped out: "Introduction, Hu, this is the man you once scored in the World Cup. Cardoso Toni, the main player of the Brazilian team, scored three goals!”

Tonyni's hand that he just stretched out quickly retracted,

At the same time, he flew up and kicked Martinez next to him.

Martinez dodged like a reflex.

Then Tonini stopped shaking hands with Hulay and turned around to chase Martinez.

The two chased each other in the locker room again.

Others followed suit.

Hu Lai was dumbfounded...

In fact, Martinez didn't need to explain in particular, he also knew the origin of Toni in front of him and himself. But he didn't intend to mention it, because there was really no need to mention it... Why did he bring it up? Is it a slap in the face to show how powerful he is?

Unexpectedly, he didn’t mention it, but the Pirates teammates did it themselves!

Okay, maybe Martinez and Toni had a feud and a bad personal relationship. But looking at everyone's booing, it was just like watching the fun, and it didn't seem like there was any deep hatred.

And the two of them started chasing and fighting like this. Hey, this is a welcome ceremony for new players!

Ramirez seemed to have not seen the situation around him and said to Hulay: "Okay, since Toni has already introduced it. Let's continue."

What are you going to do?

Captain, didn't you see it? Is this considered an introduction?

But Ramirez still led him to another teammate: "This is the third captain of the team, Joaquin Vela. Joaquin was trained by our Pirates youth academy."

I also know Joaquín Bellajule, not in the sense of “I’ve heard his name”, but in the sense of having played against him on the court.

At the Madrid Olympics, the Chinese Olympic team reached the knockout round but was eliminated by the host country. At that time, Joaquin Vela was in the Spanish Olympic team as Hulay's opponent.

His deft and delicate foot skills caused a lot of trouble for the players of the Chinese Olympic team.

At that time, Joaquin Vela seemed to be a rotation player in Madrid Pirates. Unexpectedly, he was now the third captain...

But I heard that the players were trained by the Madrid Pirates themselves, and Hu Lai immediately understood.

Think Pete Williams.

European clubs, no matter how big or small, are still about inheritance.

Having a local household registration is an advantage.

Bella saw that Hu Lai was always attracted by the movement behind her, so she smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about them, they are just like this, we are all used to it."

Hu Lai asked cautiously: "Do they have a bad relationship?"

Bella shook her head: "No. In fact, the two of them are our team's golden partners on the left wing."

Then he brought the topic back to Hu Lai: "I didn't expect that after playing in the Olympics, I would be teammates with you one day, ha! Welcome to the Pirates, we are a group of happy pirates, we don't have to break the rules so much. Yes, it's different from the Kings - they even have requirements for players to drive to training, and they must drive cars provided by sponsors. We also have sponsors providing vehicles, but we don't force everyone to drive the same brand of cars. Come."

"Ah?" Hu Lai was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Hu Lai's reaction, Bella was a little strange: "What's wrong?"

Hu Lai said with some sadness: "I just bought a new car... If I had known that there would be a sponsor to send the car, I wouldn't have spent that money!"

Bella burst out laughing: "It's normal to have several cars, just drive them alternately."

Hu Lai thought in his heart that he might as well ask Fatty not to give Qingqing a car, but to let Qingqing drive his own car, while he waited for the club sponsor to drive.

Ramirez saw the two of them finish talking and continued walking down with Hu Lai.

Over there, Toni finally caught Martinez and kicked the latter in the butt, making everyone laugh.

Third captain Joaquin Vela was among the heckles.

Seeing this scene, Hu Lai felt so magical.

This wealthy family seems to be a little different from what I imagined...

※※※

When the excitement in the locker room finally subsided, Hulay was brought to a tall figure by Ramirez.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Hu Lai felt that the locker room suddenly became much quieter.

He knew who the tall man in front of him was.

"Maxi Carey." Carey took the initiative to speak without waiting for Ramirez's introduction.

But he did not reach out to Hu Lai like other teammates.

He had his arms folded across his chest, and he was tall, slender, and spoke with his neck straight, giving him a somewhat domineering look.

Everyone around thought they would see an embarrassing scene next, which was Hu Lai's outstretched hand hanging in the air...

But they didn't see it!

Because Hu Lai didn't take action in advance.

He seemed to have known for a long time that Kaili would not shake hands with him and did not take the initiative to ask for trouble.

Kaili lowered his eyelids, glanced at Hu Lai's hands hanging by his side, and then raised his eyes to look at the smiling face again.

His eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't shake hands with you because I don't like you. I know what you are here to do."

After saying that, he turned around and ignored Hu Lai.

Hu Laixin said that he guessed well last night. This superstar, who is aloof and arrogant, is not easy to get along with...

But it has nothing to do with myself.

But Ramirez's reaction made him even more strange.

The captain patted Hu Lai on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Maxi is just such a person, with a bad mouth and a bad personality, ha!"

He said this in front of Kaili, without deliberately lowering his voice, as if he didn't care what would happen if Kaili heard him.

And Kyrie really didn't care what the captain said about him. Hearing Ramirez's words, he didn't even turn his head.

It was as if the captain was not talking about him.

Hu Lai nodded in his mind.

This wealthy family is indeed different from what I imagined.
