Fox in the Penalty Area

Lorraine Peretz is not a player trained by Leeds City itself, but his status in the eyes of fans and players is very high.

Because he is such a nice guy.

Hu Lai felt this before the game even came.

Unlike when Sean Barnett returned to Flanders, this time the team is talking about Lorraine's return.

So even though Hu Lai didn't know anything about this Lorraine before, he knew a thing or two through everyone's discussions.

Lorraine Peretz moved to Leeds City, which was still in the English Championship, four seasons ago. As a striker, he joined Leeds City in his first season and scored for the team in the league. Scored seventeen balls.

In the season when the team rushed to the Super League, he also scored 13 goals. Although not as good as Sean Barnett, considering the difference in talent and ability between the two, this performance is still very impressive.

While his ability is outstanding, Peretz has a very good personality.

Enthusiastic, he is very willing to help other teammates in the team, no matter who is in difficulty, he is willing to help.

So such a person was quickly loved by the teammates of the team.

At the same time, because of his outstanding performance on the court, he has also been loved by the fans.

This is a player who is very popular among fans and players.

Therefore, when the club sold him in the winter transfer window and introduced Hou Lai at the same time, Leeds City fans would be dissatisfied with Hou Lai's arrival.

Although the club has never admitted it, they still believe that Lorraine Peretz was sold by the club in order to raise money for the introduction of Hou Lai and make room for salary.

Regarding this matter, Yong Jun had actually analyzed it with Hu Lai a long time ago, and this matter has little to do with him.

Even without Hou Lai, Lorraine Peretz's life in Leeds is actually not easy.

After suffering a serious injury last season, his performance in all aspects has declined.

Although after the arrival of Tony Clark, he can still become the team's starter from time to time, but that is also because Leeds City's striker really has few talents available.

It can be said that even without Hu Lai,

Leeds City are also considering selling Lorraine Peretz while he is still worth something. At the same time, new strikers are introduced to enhance the team's scoring ability.

A player who is very popular inside and outside the team, because of the decline in his competitive state, he still cannot escape the fate of being sold in the end.

This is the cruelty of professional football.

Small teams like Leeds City are fine, but there are more phenomena like this in the giant teams, and the situation is even more serious.

It can only be said that Hu Lai was unlucky and bumped into it, because after selling Lorraine Peretz, he came.

It's as if you were walking on the road, and suddenly an old lady in front of you fell down, and you ran to help the old lady out of kindness.

Just as my hand touched the old lady, suddenly a few people came from the corner of the street and saw this scene.

Most people will think you knocked the old lady down.

It just so happened.

Fortunately, Hou Lai won the hearts of Leeds City fans with his outstanding performance.

Compared with the real society, the football world is still simpler. As long as you can perform well and show your strength, no amount of gossip will affect you, and fans will gradually accept you.

Also returning to Flanders, Lorraine Peretz's return in the media has been quite calm.

Except for the local Leeds media that reported the incident, no other media mentioned it.

After all, Lorraine Peretz is just an ordinary professional player, not in the same breath as the talented player Sean Barnett.

But on the court, Lorraine Pretz still enjoys treatment no less than Sean Barnett.

When Lorraine Press walked out of the tunnel wearing a Hoods jersey, there was a huge cheer, and many fans held up signs that read "Welcome Home, Lorraine!" to show him.

Seeing this scene from the side, Hu Lai remembered the game before the round, when Leeds City played against the North London Wanderers at home, and they were so tender before the game.

But his mentality as a bystander was completely different from that at that time.

After all, at that time he already knew that Sean was not a fan who loved this team from the bottom of his heart, so what those fans did was more like winking to the blind.

Now, at least he didn't hear any negative comments from Lorraine among his teammates.

Seeing the blessings sent to him by the fans, he also raised his arms and waved to those fans.

The fans applauded him.

There is another thing that is different from when Sean came back: this time the fans of Leeds City did not have such a strong anger and hatred mentality.

After all, they have already relegated early, and there is no reason to continue to use the past to target the current club management.

So look, as long as you have good grades, many contradictions are actually not contradictions.

The most die-hard fans in the northern stand of Flanders did not make any slogans or banners to satirize the club, but simply welcomed Lorraine back.

There are also fans who wish Lorraine, because his Hudes has been relegated to the British Championship ahead of schedule.

This scene made CCTV commentators He Feng and Yan Kang think of the treatment Sean received when he returned to this stadium last time, and they couldn't help but sigh: "Leeds City fans are really emotional! First Sean, Now it's Lorraine's turn again..."

At the same time, they are also looking forward to, will Hu Lai enjoy such treatment one day?

If there is such a day, it must be very warm...

※※※

The game was indeed carried out in a warm atmosphere.

Because whether it is Leeds City or Hudes, their fate this season has been determined.

Leeds City relegated two rounds ahead of schedule, and this last round of the league is more like allowing their fans to revel and celebrate at home.

Hudes also determined to fall into the British Championship early on, and no matter whether he wins or loses this game, it will not change the result.

The competition is not intense.

The fans in the stands are enjoying the joy of relegation success and the warm time when "good guy" Lorraine returns home.

Tony Clark on the sidelines was paying attention to the game seriously, but his attention was basically not on his team, but on the opponent.

Because of this game, Ben Grist, the substitute central defender in Hoeds' team, started the game.

This is a good opportunity to watch him up close.

Although Tony Clark knows enough, he still doesn't want to let go of any opportunity to learn about the players.

"His weight is really his biggest burden..." After observing for a while, Tony Clark said to assistant coach Sam Randyll beside him.

"Well, it's no wonder he suffered a knee injury before. Such a large weight combined with his every take-off, landing and acceleration start is a great burden on his knees." Randyll nodded.

"If we can introduce him, we must make a comprehensive physical training plan for him." Tony Clark said.

Randyll was a little worried: "The old injury on his knee..."

"As long as he can successfully lose weight, I believe the impact will be much smaller. Then strengthen his muscle strength to protect his knees. The rest is left to God. God bless us not to be so unlucky and get injured as soon as we buy it... "

There really wasn't much better to do about it than Tony Clark.

Injuries are commonplace for professional players. It is now impossible to buy a professional player with no injuries at all. Some professional players have suffered major injuries in their lives when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. Every professional player has various injuries.

Both of them stopped talking, but continued to stare at the game on the field.

At this moment, Leeds City is attacking.

Ben Grist happened to be guarding Holly.

Standing together, the two formed a strong contrast—Grist, who was 1.95 meters tall and weighed more than 90 kilograms, and Hu Lai, who was 1.79 meters tall and weighed 70 kilograms, stood together, as if they were the same In a fight with no weight limit, everyone can see that Hu Lai will lose without any suspense.

But football isn't MMA, and sheer force isn't that useful here.

When Farrek Quinn passed the football from the wing, Hou Lai, who was running forward, suddenly stopped and retreated, easily throwing off the bulky Ben Grist.

In the process of retreating, Hu Lai jumped up, and the football just flew.

At the same time, Grist had just stopped the car, before he could turn around, he just looked back at Hu Lai behind him.

Seeing that figure is already flying in the air, he will push the ball backwards in the future!

Nevin Bauer, the football director of the club on the rostrum saw this scene and couldn't help frowning—what can such a clumsy central defender do?

The football flew over Grist's head and towards the back of the goal.

Hoedes' goalkeeper turned over and jumped back, and just missed the football again. He waved his arms in vain and missed the football.

Eventually the football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!

Nevin Ball got up from his seat and slapped his hands hard enough to keep the smile on his face captured by the camera.

But his joy was not feigned.

Or Hu Lai's transfer deal is reliable!

This is his eleventh goal of the season!

In half a season, after only playing for half a season, he scored eleven goals!

What terrifying efficiency?

And from what Tony said, the team's tactics and staffing this season are not the most suitable for Hu Lai. If the personnel and tactics are suitable enough until next season, what performance can Hu Lai show?

Nevin Ball felt excited just thinking about it. Can't wait for the new season to come quickly...

※※※

Hou Lai, who scored 11 goals in the season, turned and ran to the corner flag area, and made his signature celebration again.

When he landed, there was another short roar in the sky above the Flanders Stadium:

"HUUUUUU!!!"

Compared with the last time it appeared at the Flanders Stadium, this time the voice was louder and louder.

After landing, Hu Lai opened his arms and greeted his teammates who were flying towards him with a smile.

Lorraine Peretz in the distance sighed slightly when he saw this scene.
