Fox in the Penalty Area

As the game approached, there were more and more discussions in the outside media about Sean Barnett.

When the fans were interviewed, they also expressed their welcome to Sean's return home.

But inside the Leeds City team, everyone doesn't talk much about the former Leeds City star.

To say that it is because the fans specially returned to the North Stand to welcome Sean Barnett, which made the fans of Leeds City feel uncomfortable now, so they deliberately dealt with this matter coldly.

But the problem is that since Hu Lai came to Leeds City, he knows very little about the star player of the former team, and he rarely hears the name of Sean Barnett from other people.

This situation is really like when he first went to Flash Star, he had no idea that there was another Zhang Qinghuan in the team.

Of course, Sean Barnett is no longer in the team, which is not the same as Brother Huan's situation.

But since a player can be so loved by fans, why is there no voice inside the team?

After Uncle Yong's explanation, Hu Lai still couldn't understand the question.

So taking advantage of an opportunity after a training session, he raised his doubts to Charlie Potter in the locker room.

"This..." When it came to Sean Barnett, Charlie Potter, who usually dared to say anything in the team, hesitated a little, hesitant to speak.

Hu Lai was even more curious.

What can make Potter, a shameless person, restrain himself?

"Should I not ask?" he asked Potter.

Potter frowned: "No..."

Then sighed.

He sat on his bench, looked at the teammates coming and going in the locker room, and whispered: "You did ask a sensitive question, Hu."

Seeing that Potter had calmed down, Hu Lai also lowered his voice: "If it's inconvenient to say it..."

After he got up to leave, he really didn't want to embarrass Potter.

But he was caught by Porter: "It's not impossible to say,

It's just that there are too many people here..."

"Then shall I treat you to a meal?" Hu Lai asked tentatively.

"Okay, okay!" Potter nodded repeatedly.

"Farewell." Hu Lai was about to get up and leave again, and he was just curious about why everyone was acting weird to Sean Barnett. But to say that this gossip is worth asking him to treat him to a meal... what do you think? Of course it's not worth it!

It's just that Hu Lai didn't make it this time - he was held tightly by Potter.

"I really didn't expect you to be so stingy, Hu..." Looking at Hu Lai who sat back beside him again, Potter sighed.

"Hehe." Hu Lai sneered, "That means you don't know me well enough, Charlie."

This is not called being stingy, it is called good steel should be used on the blade.

A former Leeds City player and you gossip, if you want to talk, I will listen, if you don't talk, I won't spend money to inquire.

"Actually, it's nothing..." Porter said in a low voice, his voice was not prominent in the dressing room where loud music was playing. "Hu, what do you think of Pete?"

Hu Lai didn't expect the other party to ask himself a question first.

He frowned and thought for a while: "It's okay, except that sometimes it's too serious..."

In Hu Lai's opinion, Pete Williams is not like a young man younger than himself, but more like an uncle. It is mainly reflected in his style of speaking and doing things, he is calm and sophisticated, he will take the initiative to take responsibility, and he is also willing to take responsibility.

Not to mention the UK, even in China, Hu Lai rarely sees a twenty-year-old with such awareness.

There's a saying that certain people are born leaders, and Houley thinks Pete Williams must be such a person.

Potter went on: "But look, we're having a party and Pete's going too, right?"

Hu Lai nodded: "Yes." He still remembers clearly the party where he bought everyone a drink.

Although Pete Williams was very serious, he didn't refuse this kind of entertainment with a straight face, and came here with a shy face. It almost made Hu Lai think that someone else set up a collapse...

"But we used to have parties, and Sean Barnett never went to them."

Hu Lai was surprised: "Such a professional?"

Potter rolled his eyes: "What kind of profession...they just disdain to play with us."

"Understood, people are proud." Hu Lai nodded.

Porter continued: "Yes, proud. Barnett may be looking down on us... He was selected for the England national team early, and so many rich teams are vying for him..."

"Then why did he go to North London Rangers in the end? North London Rangers aren't considered rich, right?" Hu Lai pointed at himself, "I'm someone who doesn't even bother to go to the King of Madrid and Catalan United."

"Uh..." Porter found it annoying to talk to Hu Lai, but he still explained patiently, "Barnett once said in the team that he could only get more opportunities by going to the North London Wanderers."

Hu Lai nodded: "Understood, I am the same."

He's not pretending either. As long as he wants, he can really go to the King of Madrid.

It's just hard to say what treatment you can get after going to the King of Madrid.

It can't be said that at this time he is still playing in the second division B of the Madrid Kings B team.

Just like a 2B.

Charlie Potter didn't feel that Holly was pretending this time, because it was. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts what kind of treatment young players like them get if they go to a wealthy family, unless you are really talented, and you have already attracted the attention of the whole of Europe at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Otherwise, we should honestly go to the small team to upgrade step by step. After all, super talents like Meli and Kabanka are very few.

Through Charlie Potter's narration, Hu Lai has figured out what kind of person Sean Barnett is.

All in all, a person who is extremely talented but also very self-confident is a bit arrogant, but at the same time he is also very clear-headed and knows what he wants. So he chose the North London Wanderers, who are not bad among the non-rich teams.

If you want to talk about Ao alone, Hu Lai feels a bit like the brother Huan he met when he first went to Xingxing. But Brother Huan just used "arrogance" as a disguise to cover up his weakness and incompetence.

Brother Huan, who later returned to normal, was not arrogant at all, or his pride was buried in his heart, and he never showed it to others easily. It seemed much more normal.

As for this Sean Barnett, he is really proud and has the capital to be proud.

After all, in the current Leeds City, Pete Williams is only likely to be selected for the England national team, so many fans and local media hold it in the palm of their hands. And Sean Barnett has already been selected for the England national team, and it was the season when Leeds City was just promoted to the Premier League. When the Leeds City team was struggling to relegation, he could be selected for the England national team , indicating that there is real ability.

Judging from the time of entering the national team, Sean Barnett may indeed be more talented than Pete Williams...

But... well, what does that have to do with me?

I'm here to hear gossip.

Hu Lai raised his hand and patted Potter's shoulder: "Thank you for the explanation, Charlie."

"You're welcome, Hu. If you could treat me to dinner..."

Before he finished speaking, Hu Lai had already returned to his own position across the locker room.

"FUCK!" Potter pointed the middle finger to Hu Lai.

"Uncle Yong, I heard some gossip from Charlie today about Sean Barnett..."

Sitting in the car driven by Yong Jun who came to pick him up, Hu Lai told Uncle Yong the gossip he heard from his teammates.

"Well, I can understand why everyone tried to avoid talking about Barnett in the locker room." After listening to the gossip, Yong Jun said to Hu Lai.

"Why?"

"Do you still remember what we talked about yesterday?" Yong Jun asked.

"Remember, a group of fans are going back to the North Stand to welcome Barnett."

"Yeah. Obviously regardless of what his former team-mates think of him, in the eyes of the fans, Sean Barnett is not only a talent for Leeds City, but also a superstar. Plus he was sold by the club to North London for money. The matter of the homeless man gave him the aura of a 'tragic hero'." Yong Jun analyzed to Hu Lai while driving.

"A person with such a high status in the eyes of the fans, can the fans tolerate someone saying bad things about him?"

Hu Lai shook his head without thinking, "No."

He sort of understood why everyone kept secret about this former team's number one talent.

After all, most people may not like this arrogant former teammate, but the fans like it, even fanatically. So if they don't want to piss off fans, they better shut up about everything about Sean Barnett.

So this formed a very weird atmosphere-the outside world has already paid a lot of attention to Sean Barnett's return to Flanders, various media reports, and fans on the Internet have been discussing Looking forward to the game. However, as Barnett's teammates, they all kept silent on this matter, and only a few people came out to welcome Barnett's "going home".

Moreover, some of these people who expressed their opinions had to speak out because of their status.

※※※

"I'm happy to be back in Flanders... I still miss my time at Leeds...Of course I don't celebrate after I score..."

Pete Williams looked up at the smiling Sean Barnett on the TV screen, then quickly looked away and continued to tie his shoelaces.

At the same time, his agent, Rachel Kayo, stood by and told him: "The host will ask you about Barnett later, so don't talk nonsense..."

Hearing the manager's nervous voice, Williams didn't raise his head: "Don't worry, Rachel. I know what to say and what not to say."

"That's good……"

"...One of the most interesting news in the Premier League recently is of course the return of Sean Barnett to Flanders... Hi Pete. You and Sean are known to be very close, he is four years older than you, you I also once said that in your football journey, Sean has always been your role model and goal... So for his return to Flanders, do you have anything to say to him?"

On the TV, Pete Williams is sitting in the studio in casual clothes, being interviewed by the host of the show.

After hearing the question, Pete Williams looked at the camera with a smile and said: "Welcome home Sean. No matter what, Leeds will always be your home."

As if the camera is really Sean Barnett.

Barnett was sitting on the large and soft sofa, with his legs crossed, holding a goblet in his hand, the liquid in the glass was sloshing.

Looking at Pete Williams on the screen, he smiled slightly and said softly, "So when are you going to leave this wretched place, little Pete?"

A scantily clad blonde was kneeling between his legs...
