Fox in the Penalty Area

When Hu Lai came down from the second floor, walked outside the kitchen, and saw the figure making breakfast standing inside the Western-style kitchen counter, he was still in a daze.

First reaction: When did Uncle Yong come back?

Second reaction: When did Uncle Yong become so young?

Third reaction: Shit, Morikawa!

The fourth reaction: Oh, by the way, Morikawa moved to Leeds City, and we became teammates and roommates again.

As for Morikawa Junpei appearing in the kitchen to make breakfast, Hu Lai was not surprised.

In the past, when the six of them rented together, they also had to cook their own breakfast.

But lazy people like Hu Lai will find excuses not to do it.

And almost every time he was lazy, it was Morikawa Junpei who helped him pack everyone's breakfast.

So Junpei Morikawa not only knows how to make breakfast, but also makes it delicious.

There are many categories, rich nutrition, excellent taste, and fast action.

If it weren't for being unable to point at a sheep, Hu Lai would have wanted Morikawa Junpei to be their official designated breakfast provider...

Everyone asked about why Junpei Morikawa was so capable. Morikawa told them that it was because he left home since he was a child to go to the Japanese club echelon to receive training, and he had to deal with all matters in daily life alone.

In other words, it was forced out by life.

In Morikawa Junpei, the young Chinese players were shocked by the independence and self-discipline of the Japanese players.

"Hu Lai, are you up?" Junpei Morikawa, who was busy, heard the movement, looked up and saw Hu Lai standing outside, and said with a smile, "Have you washed? I'll be fine soon."

Hu Lai walked in: "I'm done washing."

Then he took out the breakfast that Morikawa Junpei had prepared one by one, and put them all on the table.

Whole wheat bread, sliced ​​toast, fried bacon, slightly browned fried eggs, diced fruit, latte chocolate sauce, block butter, hot milk...

After Hu Lai set it up, he took out his phone to take a picture and sent it to the group: "I made breakfast!"

Soon Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi and others jumped out: "You did a fart!"

Wang Guangwei: "It looks like Morikawa did it.

I know why Hu Lai asked people to move in the first time, just to eat! Hu Lai, were you a lazy ghost or a starving ghost in your previous life? "

"Hehe, you are jealous." Hu Lai put down the phone with satisfaction.

Junpei Morikawa had finished washing his hands and came to the dining table.

His manager Mitsui Takato left the UK yesterday and flew back to Japan.

Now there are only Morikawa Junpei and Hu Lai in this room.

This will basically be the case in the future-Yong Jun will continue to stay in Barcelona, ​​Spain to accompany Zhang Qinghuan.

"Did Hiroto Mogi contact you?" Hu Lai asked Junpei Morikawa while eating breakfast.

"Supervisor Motegi called me when I transferred to Leeds City and encouraged me to play well here. I didn't say anything else."

"After being eliminated, he didn't show much?" Hu Lai frowned, "I thought he would think of you right away..."

"I haven't played in Leeds yet." Junpei Morikawa shook his head. "I'm not in a hurry. It doesn't matter when the national team enters. The key is to play in Leeds."

"You have been training with the team for almost a month, do you have any ideas?" Hu Lai asked.

"Leeds City emphasizes offense. Although Adams is a defensive midfielder, he will also go up when the team is attacking. If the opponent steals the ball and counterattacks, he may not be able to come back, so Leeds City's defense is problematic. But because of this For tactical reasons, whoever plays the midfielder will be under a lot of pressure..." Junpei Morikawa analyzed seriously.

Hu Lai nodded straight - this kid has only been on the team for a month, and he has almost figured out the situation.

The problem of Leeds City is indeed like this, because too much emphasis on offense has caused some imbalance. In fact, Leeds City's back line is not bad, and the main reason for the poor defense is that the waist is not good.

The original midfielder Jose Vieira has limited abilities. He was barely able to cope with the Premier League games, but when he went to the European arena, he was unable to do what he wanted.

That's why the club spent 30 million to buy the iron waist Salif Seydoux who was once selected to the best team of the Bundesliga.

As a result, Sedu didn't expect that he was not acclimatized. He played well in the Bundesliga, but his performance was greatly reduced when he came to Leeds City. He couldn't adapt to Leeds City's fast running tactics at all.

Seydu's body is very strong and has outstanding air defense capabilities, but he can't run well, the coverage is average, and some can't keep up with the rhythm of Leeds City, so his performance is not good.

Now it's even more hurt. The club had no choice but to buy a midfielder after the winter transfer window opened, and this time it bought his teammate Junpei Morikawa from Shining Star.

To be honest, when Hu Lai heard the news for the first time, he was very surprised-because the club had not consulted his opinion before, so Junpei Morikawa was definitely not recommended by him to the team.

That being the case, the team chose Junpei Morikawa...Is this Matt playing the live-action "Godfather of Champions" again?

But in any case, Hu Lai is still very happy that Junpei Morikawa can come to Europe to play football smoothly, and he is also very happy that he and himself are teammates again.

He still knows Morikawa Junpei's ability very well, and the team has indeed selected a suitable candidate this time.

Junpei Morikawa's physical condition is not very good, but his core strength is not bad. So the appearance does not look strong, but the ability to fight is not weak.

At least before coming to the Premier League, it was difficult for Hu Lai to easily suppress Junpei Morikawa in the confrontation.

The treatment that Hu Lai enjoyed when the two confronted for the first time will never be there again.

Junpei Morikawa still has some problems when competing for overhead balls. After all, he is not tall enough, only 1.78 meters, two centimeters shorter than Hu Lai.

But his advantages are very prominent, that is, his physical fitness, strong running ability, large coverage and good speed. At the same time, he has a good ability to read the game, predicts well in defense, and can cut off the opponent's passing route in advance.

These advantages are all at the technical level. At the spiritual level, Morikawa Junpei's advantages are even more prominent-tenacious.

His tenacity beyond ordinary people's imagination makes him a defender that no offensive player wants to face alone in the game.

The offensive players in the Super League are impressed by this.

No matter how the game progresses, he always has a high fighting spirit. This can ensure that he plays stably without much ups and downs.

Junpei Morikawa has some tendons, but as a defender, being one tendons is simply one of the most powerful qualities.

Leeds City invests a lot of troops when attacking, and defensive players often need to bear tremendous pressure. Junpei Morikawa has outstanding ability to resist pressure, and he can adapt well to that kind of game situation.

At the same time, his excellent running ability ensures that he can cover a large enough area when Adams is pressing up to attack.

His tenacious style allows him to delay opponents even if he cannot steal the ball immediately and buy time for his teammates to return to defense.

Looking at it this way, Morikawa Junpei is almost tailor-made for Leeds City.

The only problem is that I don't know whether Junpei Morikawa's ability can adapt to the Premier League and European competitions. After all, characteristics belong to characteristics, ability is ability, and the two are completely different systems.

"I have a suggestion, Morikawa. When you are free, go to the Internet to watch the video collections of Premier League offensive players. There are also many netizens who make videos analyzing player abilities, so you can also look for them. This way you can play as soon as possible. Familiarize yourself with the opponents you may face in a game, and when you do meet them in a game, you will know how to deal with them."

Holly made a suggestion.

"You can be regarded as a stranger to the whole of Europe. They don't know you, but you can understand them. When the time comes for a match, the opponent is in the open and you are in the dark. You can catch them by surprise."

Morikawa Junpei's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

※※※

After breakfast and some simple tidying up, Hu Lai and Junpei Morikawa went out.

Driven by Hu Lai—By the way, Hu Lai has already obtained a British driver's license and owns the first car in his life.

He didn't spend any money on this car, it was sponsored by a Chinese car company.

It's not just sponsoring him alone, but sponsoring the Leeds City Club. At that time, an activity was also organized to let the Leeds City players each choose a car of this brand to drive before this season.

Although this brand is Chinese, it is also well-known in Europe because it is an independent brand jointly established by the Chinese parent company and its famous car sub-brand in Europe. It has been working in the European market for ten years. Although it is still not well-known compared with traditional European car companies, and there are few vehicles of this brand on the road, it does not mean that it is an unknown person in China.

The reason why this car brand chose to sponsor Leeds City is naturally because of Hu Lai. But there is another very important reason. With Leeds City's outstanding performance in the Premier League and outstanding results, the brand also hopes to expand their popularity in the European market through cooperation with Leeds City.

Many Chinese companies cooperate with European clubs to advertise on European football stadiums, all of which are aimed at the Chinese domestic market, as can be seen from the various Chinese character billboards. By binding with foreigners to highlight itself as a high-end and high-end brand.

But this car is obviously not for the domestic market, they just want to go to Europe and the old traditional car companies in Europe to grab cakes.

The two parties have reached a preliminary agreement that next season Leeds City's chest advertisement will be replaced by the car's LOGO.

Hu Lai chose a compact and flexible sedan. It is said that the prototype car has won the annual championship of the WTCR International Touring Car Cup for three consecutive years. He doesn't really have much research on cars, but with his experience as a novice, it's really easy to drive.

When a general car brand sponsors a team, it will send a car to each member of the team. However, it is not mandatory for players to drive their own brand of cars. Daily players can drive whatever they should. But there are also players who will drive the car given by the sponsor out of psychological factors such as saving money or not using it for nothing.

Especially for a club like Leeds City that is not rich and powerful, most of its players are not top stars, and the money they earn is not exaggerated to the point where they can be extravagant and lustful. Many people did not drive high-end luxury cars before, but now there are free cars to drive, even if they are Chinese brands, they are willing to drive.

So the parking lot of the training base in Leeds City is full of colorful Chinese brand cars, and they have been hyped up by domestic marketing accounts under the banner of "boiling"...

This car with the pedigree of the world champion, even the car paint color is the same as the world champion car. It emits a low and restless roar and occasional backfire sound from the exhaust pipe, but it is driven in the hands of Hu Lai. It's like "Old Man Music".

Drive slowly into the training base and start a day of training.

※※※

Tony Clark gave Hu Lai a big hug on the sidelines of the training field, and he patted Hu Lai on the back vigorously: "It's a pity that the Chinese team failed to make further progress. I was optimistic about you winning the Asian championship." of……"

Hu Lai was photographed grinning: "Boss, next time you say this, don't be so excited with your body movements, I might really believe it..."

"Hahaha!" Clark, who was exposed, laughed loudly, without embarrassment at all. "We have prepared special training content for you. You will follow Anthony for recovery training. In the past few days, you are mainly training for physical recovery. This Sunday, we will not put you in the game for our away game against Warship Harbor. The big list is out, you should rest at home."

Hu Lai nodded without expressing any objection.

Although he has [Physical Potion], it doesn't mean that he doesn't need to rest.

The impact of a cup competition on the body also includes the accumulation of various minor injuries, and those minor problems cannot be dealt with by [Physical Potion], and [Broken Bear Legguards] can only reduce the chance of serious injuries. This little bump doesn't matter.

Therefore, after one and a half months of training and competition in the national team, the fatigue and discomfort accumulated in his body need to be relieved through special physical training.

He is not in a hurry to play the one or two games in front of him. After all, there are still half a season of domestic league and Europa League games waiting for him.

Today's rest is for a better start in the future.
