Fox in the Penalty Area

After the training in the morning, Zhao Kangming and his colleagues from the coaching staff left the training ground. They had to go back to the office to summarize the training and prepare for the training in the afternoon. Today, Wednesday, is the only day of the week when we have to practice twice a day, and it is also the day of the week with the most intense training.

On the way back to the office, assistant coach Chen Mo asked Zhao Kangming, "How is it, Lao Zhao, are you satisfied with Hu Lai's performance?"

Two days ago, Zhao Kangming found him and asked him to modify the content of today's training. Originally, there was no attacking training with the ball in the form of forwards and midfielders today.

At first, Chen Mo didn't understand why Zhao Kangming did this. After watching the training today, he figured it out—Old Zhao wanted to see Hu Lai's current level and state.

After all, no matter how you knew Hu Lai before, it was half a year ago. After Lao Zhao and him both left one after another, Hu Lai persisted for several months. During these months, the place he was in The environment is very harsh. Has this harsh environment affected his training status?

This is something both Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo care about.

Zhao Kangming smiled: "Satisfied. This kid has a good attitude. Old Chen, you don't know. On the way to the locker room, he was still joking with me..."

"I'm not surprised at all." Chen Mo said, "Hu Lai is such a person."

As Hu Lai's head coach in the Poseidon youth team, Chen Mo naturally knew Hu Lai's character very well.

"That's right, that's why he has a good mentality. I was really worried that this transfer would make him uncomfortable, but now it seems that I was thinking too much..."

"It depends on how he gets along with his new teammates..." Chen Mo said.

"I don't think it should be a big problem." Zhao Kangming pondered. "I have learned that Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai in the team seem to know each other, and he can help Hu Lai integrate into the team."

"Wang Guangwei?" Chen Mo thought of Wang Guangwei's appearance, his calm appearance is indeed quite reliable...

He nodded.

After the morning training, Hu Lai returned to the locker room with his teammates.

Wang Guangwei came up together: "Shall we have dinner together?"

He extended an invitation to Hu Lai.

"Okay! I just don't know where the restaurant is yet." Hu Lai readily agreed.

So the two of them took a shower, changed their clothes, and walked towards the restaurant together.

The restaurant is actually in a building at the south gate of the training base, not far away, but Wang Guangwei still walked all the way to introduce the situation in the training base to Hu Lai.

"The gym is in the building where our locker rooms are, you see that?"

Hu Lai nodded: "I see."

Wang Guangwei turned his head to look at Hu Lai, and found that he was stronger than what he had seen in the Anton Cup competition.

But only a few.

He was a little curious: "Didn't you practice strength in Seagod before?"

"I have practiced, but the effect is mediocre. Director Zhao said that I am not that kind of strength player by nature, and told me not to spend too much effort on improving strength. Of course, if I must practice, it is not impossible to practice, but I want to Build muscle first, otherwise, it will affect my physical ability..." Hu Lai looked at Wang Guangwei, who was much stronger than in the Anton Cup final, "You have achieved remarkable results."

Wang Guangwei said with a smile: "We are in different positions. Central defenders have higher physical requirements, and forwards have different styles and focuses. You are not the kind of tank forward... This is the dormitory building of the youth team. , Behind the dormitory building is the youth team training ground, I lived here and trained here at the beginning.”

Wang Guangwei pointed to a small building on the left and introduced.

Seeing Hu Lai cast his gaze, he asked again: "Is the Poseidon's youth training camp more advanced than Shan Xing's?"

Hu Lai nodded: "The scale is larger than that of Flash Star, and Sea God really pays more attention to youth training."

Before transferring here, he also lived in the dormitory of the youth training camp. In fact, he didn't know much about the city of Lingnan. Except for the Chu team asking him to go out to play, he rarely left the training base.

Looking at Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei suddenly said: "If I didn't lose to you in the final that year, I should also go to the Super League team..."

Hu Lai crossed his hands in front of him: "Brother, I really didn't expect that we would still be in the same team in the future..."

Seeing him like this, Wang Guangwei smiled: "What are you doing? Do you think I will seek revenge from you?"

"We were also our masters at the time..."

Wang Guangwei smiled and shook his head: "I'm not complaining. In fact, I just feel fortunate that I didn't go to the Super League team. Otherwise, I might not be able to play in the first team now. The midfield team sounds very bluffing. But in terms of giving young players a chance, I think the Flash is better."

Seeing what Wang Guangwei said, Hu Lai breathed a sigh of relief, put down his arm in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I played for the Poseidon youth team for so long, even the first team's locker room I don't know which way the door opens..."

"That's the south gate of the training base. In fact, I usually enter and leave the training base through this gate, and I hardly go through the main entrance." Wang Guangwei continued to introduce Hu Lai like a tour guide.

"why?"

"Because the south gate is closer to the No. 12 bus stop. I have to take this bus to train every day."

"Take the bus? Don't you have a car yourself?" Hu Lai was a little surprised. When he was in the Poseidon youth team, he had seen some youth team players drive their cars to train. He didn't expect that Wang Guangwei, who had already gone to the professional team, would come Now I still take the bus to work at the training base...

"Do you have a car?" Seeing Hu Lai taking it for granted, Wang Guangwei asked back.

"Of course I have!"

Hu Lai's answer surprised Wang Guangwei: "What car?"

"That's a lot!" Hu Lai said proudly: "Little yellow car, little blue car, little orange car, little white car, little green car... Let me tell you that I change a color every day, and I can change the color every week. Heavy!"

Wang Guangwei was speechless: "Bike sharing!"

"Why this expression? Do you look down on the concept of green and low-carbon travel?"

"What and what!" Wang Guangwei realized that after all these years, Hu Lai was still so sluggish... Isn't this kid already an adult?

At the same time, he found that after so long, he still feels powerless in the face of Hu Lai... For example, now, he can only explain: "The house I rent is only eight stops away from here, and the training time and rush hour are also staggered. .It is very convenient to take the bus, and it is also green and low-carbon travel.”

Hu Lai has nothing to say, taking the bus is indeed a green and low-carbon way of travel, especially now that many buses are electric...

"Are you staying in a hotel now?" Wang Guangwei asked again.

Holly nodded.

"You can't stay in a hotel all the time, can you?"

"Will Flash Star have a rental subsidy?" Hu Lai didn't answer this question, but asked first.

"No." Wang Guangwei shook his head and said, "The money for your hotel stay is not unlimited, at most, you will be moved out in a month at most."

Hu Lai frowned upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Wang Guangwei asked, "How much allowance does the Poseidon youth team give you a month?"

"One thousand a month. If there is a game, the main players will be given another 700 subsidy for each game, and the subsidy will be 300. If they don't play, they won't get a penny." Hu Lai said.

"A little more than when I was in the Shining Star youth team..." Wang Guangwei nodded.

"It's a Chinese Super League club after all," Hu Lai said.

However, Wang Guangwei thought that he was still a native of Jincheng after all, and his expenses were relatively less. And Hu Lai was wandering in Lingnan alone, so he could understand why Hu Lai frowned when he heard that the club would not provide rental subsidies.

Although Hu Lai has signed a professional contract with the club, he will not be able to get the money immediately, and the salary is not likely to be high. After all, he only gets 10,000 yuan a month from the club, which is still before tax. . Presumably, Hu Lai's salary cannot be higher than his own.

After paying the tax, the salary of several thousand yuan is needed to rent a house, to eat, to live...

Many people think that professional players make a lot of money, but it's the same in every industry. The most profitable people are always those at the top of the pyramid. The low-level professional players, who account for a huge proportion, actually don’t earn much, and some of them are even worse than ordinary white-collar office workers.

Of course, when you are around twenty years old, you can earn a few thousand more per month, so you can't be considered poor, and you are already much better than many of your peers.

"If you want to rent a house...it happens that I am renting a two-bedroom house now, and one room is vacant. Otherwise, if you come to live, we will share the rent, and we can share the rent?" Wang Guangwei asked tentatively road.

When Hu Lai heard what he said, his eyes lit up: "Okay, no problem! Let's split the rent for utilities!"

At the beginning, I said that I would come out to make a lot of money, and help my family repay the 350,000 foreign debts as soon as possible. In the end, the money in the youth team was only enough for my own personal expenses, let alone 350,000, and even Fatty Song’s 50,000 yuan He never returned...

Now that Wang Guangwei proposes a joint lease, how can Hu Lai have any reason to refuse?

Of course, in line with the idea that saving a penny is a penny, I immediately agreed.

While talking, the two had already reached the entrance of the restaurant, a small three-story building.

"The first floor is the restaurant. I also ate here when I was in the youth team, but the youth team can only use the restaurant after the first team has finished eating." Wang Guangwei said while leading Hu Lai to the restaurant gate.

"We still have to wait for the first team to finish their meal?" Hu Lai was a little surprised. "Poseidon's side is a two-story restaurant. The first floor is dedicated to the echelon team, and the second floor is for the first team. The stairs are all outside, so they don't interfere with each other."

"Poseidon is a Chinese Super League club. It is richer than Shining Star." Wang Guangwei was not surprised. "Furthermore, except for the different meal times, everything else is the same here at Xingxing. The food standard is one hundred and fifty for three meals a day."

"Hey, the menu is pretty good. The Sea God is only two hundred...Damn it, it smells so good!"

Just as he walked to the door, Hu Lai took a deep breath and smelled the aroma wafting from the restaurant.

Wang Guangwei laughed: "Do you smell the local cuisine? The chefs in the club canteen are very skilled."

He took Hu Lai into the restaurant. From Hu Lai's point of view, the restaurant was smaller than the Sea God's restaurant, but although the sparrow was small, it had everything it should have.

The kitchen operation room is directly facing the door, separated from the dining area by transparent glass, so that people can see the scene inside at a glance, which is a way to have confidence in the hygiene of the kitchen and the chefs.

In the area between the kitchen operation room and the door, there is a self-service dining table. The aroma comes from the plate with the lid opened.

Before them, there were already first-team players picking up meals at the dining table.

Hu Lai followed Wang Guangwei to take the plate at the door, lined up to pick up the food, and at the same time stretched his neck to look over one by one to see what dishes were there.

Well, Potato Beef, Mapo Tofu, Steamed Sea Bass, Boiled Shrimp, Spicy Chicken Nuggets, Tomato Scrambled Eggs, Vinegar Potato Shreds, Radish Oxtail Soup, Seven Vegetables and One Soup. There are also vegetable salads and fruit salads, and the staple food is white rice, steamed buns, and noodles.

In addition, there are freshly squeezed juices and drinks such as coffee and yogurt.

The tempting scent made Hu Lai swallow, and he felt hungry.

The amount of training on Wednesday is indeed the biggest in the week. The training time in the morning is 100 minutes, and the training intensity is greater than that of Hu Lai when he was in the Poseidon youth team, so he has already used up the breakfast in the hotel. To say I'm hungry right now is an understatement.

In fact, before becoming a professional player, as a fan, Hu Lai only had some vague and general understanding of what professional players eat, thinking that professional players eat boiled chicken breast, steak, mashed potatoes, broccoli and so on every day.

But since he joined the Poseidon youth team, he realized that at least in Chinese football, eating is not as strict as the legend says. Even the first-team players of the Chinese Super League eat home-cooked food, but they completely abandon pork, and their diet is mainly high-protein.

Moreover, clubs in different regions will also consider local characteristics in their catering suppliers. For example, the Poseidon Club he went to has a lot of seafood and a light taste, which is in line with the tastes of the locals. It is said that the meals in the club restaurant over the mountains and seas are all on the sweet side. Hu Lai thought for a while, if the boiled beef is all sweet, he really doesn't know how to eat such "dark cuisine"...

After he came to Xingxing, the dishes here seemed to be heavy in taste, spicy and spicy. Similarly, the difference between Roasted Potatoes in Shining Star and Poseidon’s restaurant is that the Roasted Potatoes in Shining Star are all reddish in color, with a lot of chili and bean paste added. It is lighter, and the chili is more like a symbolic meaning...

Of course, not all of the two clubs are locals. In order to cater for the tastes of people from other places, there will be some non-local dishes. For example, if you can't take spicy food, the steamed sea bass is not spicy at all.

While choosing dishes, Hu Lai boasted: "It's really good, Lao Wang, you are right, the food of this Xingxing is really good, and it doesn't lose to the Chinese Super League team at all! Let me tell you the truth, I have been with Sea God for a year and a half. I always feel like a bird can fade out of my mouth when I eat..."

Wang Guangwei: "It's a good thing you didn't go to Athletic Green."

"Green Athletic? What is that?"

"A League Two team."

"Why do you know a League Two team?" Hu Lai was very strange.

"Some time ago, a self-media marketing account on the Internet reposted the news about this team, saying that the club owner is an environmentalist and advocates vegetarianism. At his request, the club restaurant only serves vegetarian food, without meat, eggs, or milk." Wang Guangwei said.

Hu Lai's eyes widened: "Are you sick? Are their minds full of grass? Professional players don't eat meat, eggs and milk, where do they get the strength to train and play games? Do you really think they are Popeye? No wonder they can only play in What about Ying B..."

Having said that, Hu Lai added another spoonful of beef to his dinner plate.

After choosing the dishes, Wang Guangwei did not take Hu Lai to sit alone, but took him to a round table where several people were already eating. Seeing Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai, they waved to them.

Hu Lai knew that Wang Guangwei did this to let him get acquainted with his new teammates as much as possible, so he sat down with Wang Guangwei with a smile.

After a quick glance, Hu Lai put these faces together according to the information introduced by the former captain Li Tielin.

There are goalkeepers Yu Zhiming and Tang Xin, defenders Han Di and Zhang Xiaolei, and midfielders Han Xiangfei, Ma Wenyi and Leng Jinyu.

As soon as he was seated, Hu Lai hurriedly cupped his hands to everyone: "Hello, everyone, I'm new here, so please take care of me in the future!"

Hearing what he said, the others quickly waved their hands: "Don't say that, everyone will be teammates in the future, and you should take care of each other."

"Right, right, take care of each other, take care of each other!"

Wang Guangwei quietly observed the reactions of his teammates, and found that when they said this, the smiles on their faces were not as stiff and perfunctory as they were in the locker room.

It can be seen that Hu Lai's method of carrying people in a sedan chair really made many people have a good impression of him...

He was worried that Hu Lai would not be able to integrate into the team and get along with his new teammates.

Looking at it now, how could this kid have such a problem?
