Fox in the Penalty Area

After a day of training, although it is still in the training period, Tony Clark will not conduct high-pressure management on the team. As long as everyone completes the daily training, there will be no strict restrictions on what they can do at night.

Anyway, as long as the players are in good condition in training the next day, he doesn't care.

This is true for most European teams, and Leeds City is no exception.

After training, the players can do whatever they want, even if they go clubbing or clubbing, it doesn't matter.

After all, this is their private time, and it is difficult for the coach to interfere.

And if their off-court activities affect their performance on the training ground, then the coach will naturally take action-maybe not directly accuse the players of their practices, but let the players measure up in training, or put him in the game. Pull out the starting lineup.

Although Pete Williams never said he would treat Kamala to dinner, he finally decided to honor the promise that Hou Lai made for him.

He didn't give Hu Lai face, he just thought that Hu Lai was right after careful consideration—when he wanted to win someone's favor, he really had to pay a price, and it was impossible to just do nothing and make people feel You are trustworthy.

So... He invited this meal.

But just when he and Hu Lai were about to go to Kamala, someone put an arm on their shoulders from behind.

"I heard it all." Charlie Potter's voice sounded from behind them.

Hu Lai said nothing, and Williams asked inexplicably, "What did you hear?"

"I heard you were going to invite Kamala to dinner." Potter whispered. "I'm telling you, you have to bring me, or I'll yell in the locker room and everyone knows you're going to be a treat, hey!"

Williams didn't expect Potter to be so despicable, he froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Hu Lai said, "Charlie, don't you dislike Kamala? We are going to have dinner with Kamala, why are you going to join in the fun?"

"Hehe, I really don't like that kid, but I like free dinner."

"You have to save face, Charlie."

"Before the free dinner,

What is the face? "Charlie Potter is confident.

Williams was speechless: "Well, count you in."

The person who paid the money had no objection, and Hu Lai naturally had no objection either.

The three of them found Kamala in this way, and Hu Lai conveyed the meaning: "Let's go, Ismail, Pete found a good Turkish restaurant, let's go to eat Turkish barbecue."

Kamara saw one more person, and didn't care. He got up, put on the backpack he had packed, and walked out of the locker room with the three of them.

After they walked for a while, Matt came to the door of the locker room, grabbed Quinn who had just come out and asked, "Is Hu still there?"

Quinn shook his head: "Leave early."

"Ah..." Matt was a little disappointed.

"What do you want from him, Matt?" Quinn asked.

"Forget it..." Matt waved his hand, "Thank you, Farek."

"You're welcome, I can't help you with anything."

Matt, who returned in vain, returned to Clark: "Hu Lai left as soon as the training was over. I don't know where he went. I didn't find him in the locker room."

Clark waved his hand: "There is no need to rush for a day or two, Matt. Helping Kamala is a long-term matter. Find him another day."

Matt nodded.

In a restaurant decorated with a strong Middle Eastern style, Hu Lai, Pete Williams, Charlie Potter and Ismail Kamara sat around the dining table.

They have just sat down and are ready to order.

"Let me order!" Charlie Potter volunteered to grab the menu.

Williams hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't stop him. It happened that he could also use this time to have a good chat with Kamala and enhance their relationship.

"Well, Ismail... which team's youth training did you train in before?" He planned to start by getting to know Kamara.

After listening to Hou Lai's translation, Kamara said to Hou Lai: "I have not received youth training. Before I was seventeen, I played football on the street."

After listening to Hu Lai's translation, Williams' eyes widened in surprise. Even Charlie Potter, who was looking at the menu, raised his head and cast his shocked eyes on the Frenchman.

Kamara, who played wild football on the street, entered a professional team without receiving a day's echelon youth training from the club, and now he has completed the triple jump and directly became a member of the Premier League team...

In their hearts, everyone felt incredible about their boss Tony Clark's vision of seeing people-how did the boss take a fancy to him?

When Williams was shocked and didn't know what to say, Hou Lai chatted with Kamara: "Wow, so you are similar to me."

Kamara also felt strange: "Did you also play wild football before the age of seventeen?"

Hu Lai shook his head: "No, I didn't even receive football training before I was sixteen."

"..." Kamala was stunned for a moment, and then showed a very strange expression, "Why do I think you are showing off to me on purpose, Huh?"

Hu Lai quickly waved his hand: "No, no, you're thinking too much. What's there to show off? I didn't discover my football talent until I was sixteen."

Kamara recalled Hou Lai's performance half a season after joining Leeds City, and asked again: "How old are you this year?"

"Not yet twenty-two."

Kamara opened his mouth, was stunned for a few seconds, and then heaved a long sigh: "I thought it took me only two years to go from playing street football to a Premier League player. An ordinary person who has no football training at all becomes a Premier League player... even more exaggerated!"

Williams finally came back to his senses, and he asked Hu Lai curiously: "What are you talking about with him?"

"It's nothing, business blows to each other."

Williams: "What does that... mean?"

"You can see it as getting closer to him."

Williams suddenly: "Oh——"

Hu Lai pointed to Williams again: "This kid is also a super genius. He played in the first team at the age of sixteen. Now he is considered to be the leader of Leeds City for the next ten years. At the end of last season, he continued with the team. After the appointment, the whole city of Leeds was celebrating."

"What are you talking about..." Williams asked curiously when he saw Hu Lai pointing at himself.

"Praise you."

Kamara looked at Williams and nodded. Although he has only been in the team for less than a month, he can already see the importance of this young man in the team. Although he is young, his words in the locker room are very important, and everyone listens to him.

At that time, he still didn't quite understand it, but now that he heard Hu Lai's explanation, he suddenly understood.

No wonder Williams holds such a high profile in the locker room.

Excellent talent, the most important thing is the team's youth training, the double halo blessing has the current status.

Charlie Potter, who was about to order food, heard Hu Lai saying that he was complimenting Williams to Kamala, so he quickly said, "What about me? Compliment me in front of that kid!"

Hu Lai pointed at him and said to Kamala, "This man is here for dinner, so you can ignore it."

Kamara looked at the smiling Potter and nodded slowly.

Potter was very interested in what Hu Lai said: "How did you praise me, Hu Lai?"

Hu Lai said casually: "I said you are also very strong."

"Hey!" Potter believed Hu Lai's statement, and happily raised his hand to call the waiter, who wanted to order food.

Seeing this, Hu Lai asked Kamala: "Is there anything you want to eat, or can't you eat?"

Kamala shrugged: "I can do both."

Hu Lai nodded, and said to Porter, "Just do whatever you want, Ismail has no taboos."

※※※

After ordering the meal, the four of them got together and started chatting.

Even Charlie Potter’s impression of Kamala has changed because of Hou Lai’s foreshadowing before—after all, Hou Lai praised him in front of Kamala, he is always embarrassed to continue to be cold-hearted to Kamala right?

Charlie Potter, as the team's "team darling", is always good at adjusting the atmosphere.

I have to say that although he coaxed and frightened him to come up this time, bringing him here really played a very good role.

He kept raising the topic, and Ismail Kamara told all three of his teammates present about his past.

Kamara is indeed worthy of the name of genius. He has never received formal echelon training of professional football clubs since he was a child, and he has no conditions to learn to play football because of his poor family. He grew up entirely by playing football with other kids on the street.

When he was not yet seventeen years old, his talent was discovered by the Flemish club and signed him. That's how he became a professional footballer, albeit only in the third division of France...

But for him, it was already a change from a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

Kamara is full of confidence in himself because after he entered Flemish, he found that those teammates in the team who had received professional team training were not as good as him.

"... On my first day of training in Flemish, I made the bosses of the team lose face. I passed them repeatedly, and they couldn't even hold my clothes..." Speaking of this, Kamara's face There is also a smug look on his face.

Whether it is Pete Williams or Charlie Potter, no one has seen Kamara play football, so they don't really believe what he said. But they didn't show it. Pete Williams was trying to help Kamara integrate into the team, so he naturally couldn't show any disdain.

Charlie Potter praised Hu Lai in front of Kamala because of him. At this time, he still has the burden of being an idol. Of course, he must work hard to maintain his image in Kamala's eyes.

However, through this conversation, they also resolved some of the previous misunderstandings about Kamara-his indifference was not because he looked down on his new teammates, but more because of the language barrier and the alertness of the new environment. of.

Now under the translation of Hu Lai, both of them saw a talkative Kamala, not the taciturn Kamala in the locker room, always hiding in the corner playing with the mobile phone alone, wearing earphones, and no one loves Kamala.

During the conversation, Kamala also learned about Hu Lai's past, knowing that Hu Lai not only did not accept football news before the age of 16, but was even a middle school student before the age of 18, and had never entered a professional career at all. team.

He was even more surprised by what Hu Lai could achieve now.

After the dishes were served, they continued to eat and talk, and they also asked for a bottle of wine to add to the fun.

After finishing the meal, when Williams went to pay the bill, Charlie Potter and Kamala were already leaning shoulder to shoulder.

Porter used English, and Kamala spoke French. The two bypassed Hou Lai and directly had a lively exchange.

After paying the bill, Williams came out to see the situation, and asked Hu Lai in surprise, "Can the two of them understand what each other is saying?"

Hu Lai shook his head: "Of course I don't understand."

"Then they..."

"The atmosphere is here, what you say is not important." Hu Lai waved his hand.

Williams looked at the two people talking and laughing happily, and said with a smile: "It's so good..."

But Hu Lai beside him frowned: "I don't think so."

"What's wrong?" Williams asked strangely.

"The effect didn't meet my expectations..." Hu Lai said solemnly.

"Where did it fail? I think the effect is very good. You can see how close the two of them are... Or maybe I thought they were friends who have known each other for many years!"

Hu Lai continued to shake his head: "It's just a temporary superficial phenomenon. It seems that it's not enough to just invite a meal..."

Williams grabbed Hu Lai and waved his hands again and again: "Don't! Don't! I think one meal is very effective. Your five thousand years of oriental wisdom in China is really powerful! Any problem will be solved with this meal ! No need to ask for a second meal..."

"It's just that Charlie's perception of Kamala has improved today, but the other teammates still have prejudice against Kamala..."

Williams held Hu Lai's arm tightly, and asked him in a serious tone: "Hu, I think you just want to rub me for a few more meals?"

Hu Lai sneered: "What do you think of me? Are a few meals enough? How many people are in our first team?!"

"Goodbye!" Williams turned to leave.

This time it was Hu Lailai who held him back: "Peter, what about your sense of honor and responsibility? You are going to be the leader of the team, so will you be frightened by asking for a few meals? You have disappointed me so much... ..."

Williams was too lazy to talk nonsense with Hu Lai, so he raised his middle finger at him.
