Fox in the Penalty Area

"Hu Lai!!! The eleventh goal of the season! In the last round of the league, everyone had nothing to desire, but he continued to score goals! He helped Leeds City take the lead against Hudes! The desire to score is still like the first time he stepped on the pitch!"

"Listening to the sound of the scene, it is obvious that he conquered the fans of Leeds City in only half a game! He can play such a performance when he is new and still not used to it. If he is given a full pre-season During the training period for the battle, he will have a good run-in with his teammates, what can he do in the new season? It is really exciting!"

After Hu Lai's goal, He Feng and Yan Kang, who were far away in the studio in the capital of China, were also very excited.

Since today is the last round of the Premier League, they can also conclude the first season of Hu Lai's overseas study.

Obviously not only successful, but incredibly successful.

Hu Lai has scored more goals in the past half of the season than all Chinese players who have studied abroad before. Qin Lin is not a striker, he only scored six goals when he played in the Bundesliga.

Before Qin Lin, there were Chinese players who had stayed abroad, but that was a long time ago, and most of them had no outstanding performance. Some people even went out for a season without even playing a minute of the game, and finally terminated their contract with the club and returned to China freely.

"Hu Lai's performance in Leeds City proves that our excellent players can also gain a foothold in today's European football! I hope to see more Chinese players bravely go abroad and go to Europe in the future. Good for yourself, good for Chinese football!"

Xie Lan in front of the TV didn't care about the topic of "He is good, I am good, Chinese football is good". She was happy because her son was coming back from England after this league game!

Although it's only been half a year, she feels like three autumns have passed this time.

She had already agreed with her son on WeChat that when he came back, he would bring back the three best of the game and best of the round trophies, so as to enrich the "room of honor".

Hu Lai's goal was the only goal in this relaxed game. With this goal, Leeds City beat Hoods, who was relegated early and had no fighting spirit, at home 1-0.

End their 2024-2025 season with a win.

The North Stand fans singing in the stands, the Leeds City players gathered under the North Stand to complete their regular program after every home game - come here to interact with the Leeds City fans and thank the fans for their support.

in the player tunnel,

Lorraine Peretz, who was replaced early in the game, was wearing casual clothes, leaning against the wall, watching the scene on the field.

He used to be one of them.

When the Leeds City players finished interacting with the fans and walked into the player tunnel, they immediately saw Lorraine Peretz leaning against the wall waiting for them.

So everyone went up to greet him with a smile on their faces, high-fived each other, hugged, patted shoulders, and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Then leave.

Only Quinn remained.

When he saw Hu Lai walking into the corridor, he waved to Hu Lai: "Hu, come!"

Hu Lai also noticed these two people, and when Quinn called him to go, he went.

"Let me introduce you, Lorraine."

Peretz took the initiative to extend his hand to Hou Lai: "I left before you transferred to the team. But I often hear your name."

Hu Lai shook hands with him, then waved his hands to show modesty: "That's all a false name..."

"That's not a false name. Your goal is an important reason for Leeds City's success in relegation." Peretz said with a smile. "Ten goals, 15 points, the media has said it all. Without these 15 points, Leeds City may not be able to successfully relegation..."

Looking at the smiling person, Hu Lai found that they were also smiling, and Peretz made people feel much better than that Sean Barnett. There is a kind of warmth in the former's smile that makes people want to believe in him, while the latter's smile is very professional and professional.

No wonder he is so popular...

This first impression is really a plus.

"Lorraine is a very good person. When I moved to Leeds, I didn't know anyone. Lorraine was the first to be my friend and help me integrate into the team." Quinn saw two After everyone knew each other, they said. "I am very grateful to him. Without him, I might not be able to stay in Leeds. But I didn't expect Lorraine to leave Leeds earlier than me..."

"Falek..." Peretz quickly reminded Quinn when he saw which pot was unopened and which pot was being lifted.

But Quinn shook his head and turned to look at Hu Lai: "I once complained about your joining, and I was dissatisfied with your arrival because I thought you squeezed Lorraine away."

"It's nothing to do with him, Farek. You know, before he came, my performance in the team made the club want to sell me..." Peretz explained for Hou Lai, and then he turned to Hu Lai apologized for Quinn: "Fareke is just such a person. He has a straightforward personality and a more aggressive temper, but he is not bad...you just need to get in touch with him more..."

Hu Lai interrupted his defense with a smile and nodded: "I know, Lorraine."

Quinn was a little annoyed at Peretz's words, he frowned and waved at Peretz: "Lorraine, don't talk!"

Then he turned to Hu Lai and continued: "No matter what you think, that's what I saw at the time. And I have been staring at you all the time, wanting to see what ability you have to squeeze Lorraine away. Now I am convinced , Hu, I convince you. You are indeed better than Lorraine in scoring goals!"

Peretz next to him had a black line on his head: "I am Farrek, although I say you are straightforward, but you don't need to strengthen your personality in this aspect..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed first.

Quinn also laughed: "I'm telling the truth. Have you ever performed a hat-trick in Leeds?"

"Stop talking..." Peretz covered his heart.

Seeing the two good friends joking, Hu Lai also laughed.

Then he said: "I can understand your feelings, Farek. Because I also said goodbye to my friends. I also have very good friends in the Chinese team, but now they are tens of thousands of kilometers and eight away from me. Hours of time difference."

The two looked at him at the same time, and Peretz raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "You will also have a lot of good friends here. Leeds City is a small team, and the advantage of a small team is that it is not so complicated. In the locker room, everyone is easy to get along with. Even the most difficult people have been conquered by you..."

As he spoke, he nudged Quinn next to him with his elbow.

"Go to hell, Lorraine!"

While resisting his friend's "attack" with his hands, Peretz said to Hou Lai: "I still want to thank you, Hou Lai."

"Why should you thank me?" Hu Lai was surprised.

"Because you helped Leeds City succeed in relegation."

Hu Lai was even more strange: "But you are no longer a player of Leeds City."

"Yeah, but I was. I played four seasons at Leeds, I have feelings for this team, everyone here is great, so I want them to be well. Like this... ..." As he spoke, Peretz put his arms around Quinn's neck and pulled him in front of him.

"Fareke's bad temper would not have been better in Leeds no matter where he went. He bought a house here and took his wife with him. He has obviously made it his own. Home. So I want to thank you, if Leeds City do get relegated, it will change the future of many people, including his naturally."

Quinn broke free from Peretz's shackles, and said angrily: "I also have a lot of teams wanting it, okay, Lorraine?"

"But they all want you to play centre-back. Only in Leeds can you play your favorite full-back."

Quinn fell silent.

Seeing that Quinn was quiet, Peretz turned to Hou Lai again and said goodbye to him: "I asked Farek to introduce you to me, because I want to say thank you to you in person, and I hope you can forgive Farek. Lake's unkindness to you..."

Hu Lai waved his hand quickly: "I've never been dissatisfied with this, Lorraine. I said I can understand him."

Peretz still smiled: "That's good. I should go. I wish you good luck in the Premier League. I hope I have the opportunity to return to Flanders again."

He patted Quinn again, turned and left.

Quinn didn't go up to see him off, but stood there with Hu Lai, watching him leave.

When they couldn't see Peretz, Quinn said: "Lorraine is really happy."

"Well, I can tell."

"Thank you, Hu."

"Then treat me to dinner, Farek."

Hearing what Hu Lai said, Quinn turned to look at Hu Lai: "I'd better pass you a few more balls..."

"Ah, isn't it? Is he so stingy?" Hu Lai complained.

"You don't seem qualified to talk about me, Hu?"

"why?"

"Charlie says you're the cheapest guy he's ever met."

Hu Lai, who felt that he was victimized by his reputation, cursed: "FUCK! Charlie is a bitch!"

Didn't you just not invite him to dinner?

But the question is, is that bit of gossip about Sean Barnett worth a meal?

Speaking of treats, by the way, the boss also said to treat himself to Chinese food...

At the beginning, five goals were agreed to be a meal, but now I have scored eleven goals, so that is two meals!

※※※

Not long after Hou Lai and Quinn returned to the locker room, the head coach Tony Clark, who participated in the post-match press conference, led his coaching team into the locker room again.

Then he expressed his thanks to the players on behalf of the coaching team.

"...I would like to thank you for your hard work and your persistence in training. This achievement belongs to all of us." Clark had a smile on his face.

"Tomorrow the whole team still needs to gather for training and have a half-day recovery training. After the training, there will be a physical examination. After the physical examination, the official holiday will be held. I hope everyone has a happy holiday, but don't relax too much. After all, when you come back, we have to do another physical examination for you. If someone’s physical fitness declines too obviously, be careful-I assure you that we will definitely do a big job in the Premier League next season. Don't be absent at such a time."

After speaking, Clark turned and left with the coaching team, and returned the locker room to the players.

Hu Lai originally wanted to ask the boss about the dinner, but the boss didn't give him a chance to communicate in private, so he just left.

Not only that, when Hu Lai was talking just now, Hu Lai kept staring at the boss, but found that the other party didn't look at him, as if he was avoiding it on purpose...

No way?

No way?

The head coach of a dignified team can't count his words, right?

Hu Lai decided to wait until the end of training tomorrow to go straight to the boss and ask him to fulfill his promise.

In any case, let the boss invite him to dinner. It is impossible to renege on the debt.

No one can owe him a meal without cashing it!
