Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 24 The best in the game

Hu Lai's second goal occurred in the 86th minute of the game. Although it cannot be said to be a lore, it is not an exaggeration to say "quasi lore".

The ball drove Lancashire to a dead end, and also made the Lancashire fans in the stands who had been noisy for 86 minutes quiet a lot.

In fact, after being equalized by Leeds City, it is not wrong for Burleigh to choose to attack with all his strength. After all, they must win at home.

Under normal circumstances, when they attack with all their strength, the possibility of winning Leeds City at home is still very high.

Because the head coach of Leeds City, Tony Clark, has gone crazy again. He even played against Burleigh in the away game. I really think he died too slowly.

But this time, their wishful thinking was wrong.

Leeds went in before they scored!

The "gambler" who lost out of ten bets and lost nine times actually won this time!

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, assistant coach Sam Randyll suddenly said to Tony Clark: "I know why you have to ask the club to bring him in. He and your tactical thinking are simply a match made in heaven... There is such a player in the frontcourt. Efficient scorer, your tactics come into play."

Clark smiled and waved his hand: "Actually, I didn't think about it that much, Sam. I just think we need a forward who focuses on scoring, and Hu is such a person."

Leeds City had many forwards in the first team before Hou Lai. In addition to the captain Lorenzo Esposito, Lorraine Peretz and Sean Barnett are very good strikers-otherwise the club I will not choose to sell the two of them, because the two of them can get more money back.

Lorraine Peretz has comprehensive skills, Sean Barnett is fast, and has a good combination of man and ball.

But in terms of scoring ability alone, none of them are good.

Today in football, there are many famous forwards, but only a handful of them are good at scoring goals.

This is of course the development trend of world football, but sometimes this scene also makes people feel sorry-those center forwards who are good at scoring goals, but can only score goals, are about to become part of football history and be remembered by people up.

Randyll looked at Hu Lai, who was hugging with his teammates, and said with emotion: "He will become a different kind."

Then he turned to Clark and said, "You're an anomaly too, Tony."

Clark laughed: "Leeds City will also become an outlier,

Sam! "

In the remaining minutes of the game, Lanca Chabury finally failed to break the goal of Leeds City.

With so little time left, Leeds City coach Clark still asked the team to keep on the offensive and use offense to suppress Burleigh.

He won the bet.

After falling behind by one goal, Leeds City completed the reversal and finally defeated Lancashire Chabury with a score of 2:1, scoring a very valuable three points on the road to relegation.

With the victory of this game, their league ranking rose again, from 16th to 15th.

Escaping the relegation zone a little bit.

At the post-match press conference, Hu Lai became the focus of everyone's attention.

This time, even many local journalists in the UK mentioned the name frequently.

Tony Clark responded to reporters’ questions about Hu Lai in a unified way: “I once said that my team and I have been following him for more than two years. I am not lying, and I am not trying to please the Chinese market. All I said is To be honest. The club may have considerations from the club, but as a coach, I chose Hu only for competitive reasons. For me, Hu is a very good player and deserves so much money for him. Facts have also proved that we Judgment on him. Three goals in two games? It’s really unbelievable, but I don’t think it’s that exaggerated if it happened to Hu…”

At this time, he completely forgot his initial expectations with Sam Landier about how many goals Hu Lai could score this season.

"Will he start the next game? He's always been part of the team. I've also enjoyed seeing some fantastic chemistry on the pitch with his new team-mates... Has he settled into the Premier League? I'm still wondering. Can't say that, but I think he's really improving...scoring two games in a row, will that put pressure on him? Hu is a player with a big heart, I'm sure he can handle it well The current situation... I also want to remind everyone that Hu is not a nobody, he is already a very successful star in China, and he received no less attention when he played in China than he is now. So I don't think What pressure will he have at the moment."

What Tony Clark said made the Chinese reporters feel as comfortable as eating honey.

Ah, it is indeed the head coach who knows Hu Lai best!

You are right!

In China, Hu Lai received no less attention than it does now. Hu Lai is now a phenomenal professional player in China. Although his Weibo fans are only 30 million, he actually has hundreds of millions of fans. To put it bluntly, your entire population in the UK does not have as many fans as Hu Lai. Woolen cloth!

"Hu Lai won the best of the game, received champagne to experience the glory of the Premier League"

"... Hu Lai, who came off the bench, only had 30 minutes of performance time, but he was elected the best player after the game with two goals. His two goals after his appearance helped Leeds City in the game against Burleigh Undoubtedly, he is the most dazzling star in today's game, and winning this honor in just two games shows his super adaptability..."

A photo of Hou Lai in the locker room with champagne, the man of the match award, appears below this news story.

This is the first time he has won the award - he also scored in the previous game, but the man of the match went to Pete Williams with a goal and an assist.

This time, he scored all two goals of the team and helped the team hit three points in the Lancashire and West Yorkshire derby. No one can compete with Hu Lai for the best player in the game.

He deserved the champagne.

"...'I am very happy to receive this award, which is a recognition of my hard work in training and competition. But the most important thing is that we can get all three points in the away game, so that we have taken another step towards the goal of relegation success... Hu Lai was very humble when interviewed by our reporter. In his eyes, the interests of the team are still greater than the individual. When a reporter jokingly asked him how he planned to dispose of the bottle of wine, he said that he would put it in the apartment. won't drink it..."

Xie Lan put down her cell phone and said to her husband, "Old Hu, I think the guest room in our house has to be vacated..."

"Why?" Hu Lixin asked puzzled.

"I only considered my son's room of honor, but I didn't expect that the Premier League's best of the game trophy would be wine... So I plan to free up the guest room as a wine cellar, dedicated to storing our son's best of the match trophy."

Hu Lixin was a little dizzy: "They are all trophies, so they should be placed in the honor room. They are all honors..."

"I don't think it fits in the room of honor."

"Why can't you let go? He only has a few trophies now?"

"This champagne is given out one for each game. It won't be long before the small room can't hold enough!" Xie Lan pointed to the photo of his son on the phone. "Or do you think our son won't get the best of the match many times?"

Xie Lan tilted her head and stared at her husband.

Hu Lixin stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, Xie Lan said happily: "That's the decision. Let's go home after the Chinese New Year and vacate the guest room, then go to the furniture store to see if there is a wine cabinet, and buy two sets for the house, specially for Let our son be the best in the game!"

"As long as you like it..." Hu Lixin said helplessly.

David Miller chats with his old buddies over beer at a bar.

Britain has a tradition of "afternoon tea", but for David and others, "afternoon tea" is actually "afternoon beer".

Gathered in the frequented "White Rose" bar, a dozen people sat at several tables and chatted.

Usually they would talk about the things they encountered in their life and work, but today they talked most about the Premier League game that ended yesterday.

"How nice to shut up those bastards in Lancashire!"

"Haha, yes! Seeing the Burleigh fans in the stands are all speechless on TV, how cool it is!"

"Burley's level is not much higher than ours, and he keeps relegation every year. That is to say, he was promoted to the Premier League a few years earlier than us. I really don't know what is in front of us..."

Everyone took a sip of beer and cursed Lancashire's enemies, and the aroma of beer lingered in their mouths, which was very refreshing.

In such a joyous atmosphere, someone suddenly sighed: "It's fun to watch in front of the TV, and I want to go to the scene to greet the Lancashire mother..."

His words attracted the attention of others because he touched on a very sensitive issue.

Since they decided not to go to the live game to protest to the club, everyone was careful not to mention the live game in their usual chats.

"Tsk, John, what do you say?"

Sure enough, some people in the crowd immediately expressed their dissatisfaction with this kind of remarks.

John, who was named, didn't speak immediately. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he drank the remaining beer in his glass, and then wiped the wine sticking to his beard with the back of his hand.

After all this, he stood up and looked at the big guys: "Sorry, guys. I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't deceive myself and you...Actually, I disagreed with everyone's approach at the beginning, but I think we It is a group, we have to advance and retreat together... The result is that every Leeds game is like a torment for me. I want to go to the stadium to watch the game, I want to sing, cheer, Curse those enemies who provoke us...instead of just being a spectator in front of the TV like now."

"John what are you talking about?"

"I know I've let you down, sorry again guys. I just... I just came to say goodbye and the next game we play at home against Glamorgan I'll be in Flanders. My fury at the club It can't turn into my indifference to the team..."

"John! Calm down, no one here is indifferent to the team!" Someone stood up and spread his hands and said.

"We're fans, and if we can't support our team in the stands, it's called 'indifference'!" John retorted, "Anyway, you can call me a traitor, call me whatever you want. But I'm going to be back in the stands and support the team as we try to avoid relegation. See you guys."

After speaking, the fan named "John" turned and walked out of the bar.

Everyone watched as he opened the door of the bar, then flashed out, and when the door closed, he disappeared.

Someone yelled angrily: "What is this doing? Why did he say that? It made us look like a group of people who don't support the team!"

"That's right! A traitor! He betrayed our cause!"

"I really didn't expect John to be such a person... What was he seduced by?"

"It is because of bastards like John that the club tramples on our traditions and our passion with such brazenness! Shameless! Despicable!"

Those who remained angrily denounced their former companions who had left.

David Miller was in it, watching the scene in front of him, he didn't participate in the attack on his former companions, he just picked up his glass and drank.
