Fox in the Penalty Area

When everyone returned to the locker room after the physical examination, assistant coach Sam Randyll brought them a player: "Introduce, new teammate, Ismail Kamara, who is only eighteen years old. The French player has no experience in playing in the top league before, so please take care of him."

Captain Lorenzo went up to welcome the new teammate on behalf of the team.

Hu Lai looked at this new teammate in a daze - isn't this one of the two people who asked for his autograph outside the training base?

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Leeds City's signings for the new season...

It's not his fault for admitting his mistake. Who would have imagined that a professional player would report to a new team so easily?

Hu Lai, who was in a daze, found the captain calling him: "Hu!"

Hu Lai hurried forward: "What's the matter, captain?"

Lorenzo said to him: "I chatted with him just now, and found that he can't understand Italian, and English doesn't seem to be very good, and I can't speak French, can you translate for me? French you How about it?"

Hu Lai nodded and said confidently, "No problem, Captain."

"Okay, let me say, you translate." Lorenzo turned to Camara who was standing beside him, and began to dance:

"Hello, I'm Lorenzo Esposito, an Italian and captain of this team. You see I can be captain of an English team as an Italian, so you don't have to worry about it Integration problem, even though you are the only french in our team...We are a small team at Leeds, and a small team has the advantage of being a small team, which is more inclusive and easy to get along with. A little while I'll introduce you to them one by one... We have Englishmen, Scots, Dutchmen, Spaniards, Italians, Germans, Cameroonians, Chinese... Now we have a Frenchman. All right, world peace."

After finishing speaking, Hu Lai did not translate immediately, but asked Lorenzo: "Captain, do you have such a set of welcome words for every new team member?"

Lorenzo laughed: "Haha, quickly translate!"

Only then did Hu Lai translate what Lorenzo said just now.

When Kamara heard that Hu Lai could speak French, a surprised expression appeared on his face: "You are Chinese, why can you speak French?"

Hu Lai spread his hands: "What's the matter? I can also speak English, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Arabic, Russian... On behalf of myself, I also welcome you to join me.

Sorry for mistaking you for a fan outside the training base. "

As soon as he said that, Kamala remembered the signature.

How much self-confidence does it take to see someone and think that person is his fan, and want to ask him for an autograph...

※※※

Hu Lai followed the captain Lorenzo and acted as an interpreter, helping the captain introduce the teammates in the locker room to Kamara.

He also helped the captain tell Kamara some rules in the locker room.

After doing this, he returned to his seat and did his own thing.

Kamala, on the other hand, sat on the stool that had just been allocated, and began to put things away and change clothes.

After changing clothes, he was called for a medical examination.

After he left, Charlie Potter approached Hu Lai, frowned and whispered, "I don't like that kid very much..."

"Huh? Why?"

"I always feel that the kid is very attractive. But what's so attractive about him in front of us?" Porter snorted.

Others in the locker room were talking about the new addition.

"What do you mean you haven't played in the top league? Ligue 2?"

"No, it's lower than that, it's said to be from France C."

"My God, third tier? Why would a club buy a player who plays in the third tier?"

"Who knows?"

"Is there anything special about that kid?"

"He has a special hairstyle. When I saw his braids, I wondered how many hours a day does he have to fix his hair?"

"No, don't you really think that dreadlocks have to be rebraided every day?"

Everyone was talking about it, but basically there was nothing good to say.

On the one hand, it is to question the strength of this new aid: Why did the players in the French League C become a member of the Premier League team? What ability does he have to be on an equal footing with us?

On the other hand, he was dissatisfied with Kamala's attitude when he greeted them: when Kamala met each teammate alone, his reaction was very simple, and it could even be said to be a little... cold. This makes the players of Leeds City especially upset-you kid from the third tier league, what right do you have to treat us coldly? Normally speaking, shouldn't it be too late to flatter us?

If the top players in the Premier League transfer to join, be proud, everyone can understand and can only accept it.

But you, a player in the third tier of France, actually want to put on a show in front of us?

Hu Lai shook his head and said to Potter: "Maybe it's because they don't understand the language, so they can't say anything, and no matter how much they say, they can only be buried in their hearts, so they seem relatively cold..."

"No, it has nothing to do with the language, Hu. I can feel it. That kid is very arrogant, without reason. He may have a bit of talent, but to be honest, the most important thing in professional football is talent. A person who has no talent I've seen a lot, and most of them won't end well in this line of business." Even though Charlie Potter was only twenty-three years old, his words were old-fashioned.

In the end, Captain Lorenzo stood up and interrupted everyone's unfriendly comments on the new teammate: "Okay, he is only eighteen years old, and he is still a child. What are you doing with a child? I just said we It's an inclusive team, please restrain yourself and don't make it difficult for me as the captain!"

The captain said so, and the other team members didn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, so they didn't speak ill of Kamala behind their backs.

Of course, it's just not to say anything on the surface, and everyone can't control what they think in their hearts. Lorenzo's captaincy doesn't help here either.

"Kamara's gone to the locker room and met with the rest of the team." Sam Randyll told head coach Tony Clark.

At this time, Karak and other members of the coaching staff were in a lounge, drinking tea and communicating with each other.

Hearing this, Tony Clark nodded: "Well, he has already gone to Tom's for a physical examination. First, enter his physical data into the database, so that we can compare later."

"Some people in the media and on the Internet questioned why we should introduce a player from the French third-tier league. I guess you will soon face reporters' doubts at the press conference, Tony." Randall sighed .

Clark smiled: "Let's not talk about the reporters, Nevin can't even figure it out."

"To be honest, I don't really understand it," Randyll said. "Maybe this kid is really talented, but he is too inexperienced. And there is no shortage of players with his ability in the transfer market."

"But no one can be cheaper than him. With only 300,000 pounds, we got this player from Flemish, which has created a historical record for their club." Matt Dorn said beside him.

"We are the coaching staff, and we don't need to help Bradley consider the club's financial situation." Randyll disagreed with this reason and retorted, "And after he comes, he still needs to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League. Come in handy..."

The significance of the existence of this lounge is to allow members of the coaching staff to speak freely and express their opinions, so it is normal to even have disputes here. Clark even encouraged quarrels, but also stipulated that the quarrels were limited to this room, and the coaching staff must be united when they leave the room, and no differences are allowed. If you have any questions, bring them to the tea break room for discussion.

So now neither Randall nor Matt sees any problem with this argument.

"Buying Kamala is not for the present, or not just for the present. He is only 18 years old and has outstanding talents. I believe he will benefit us a lot in the future." Matt Dawn explained.

"But our goal for the new season is still relegation. I'm afraid we don't have so many opportunities for young people to grow slowly..."

Clark intervened in the debate between the two: "I decided to sign him, not for future considerations. I want him to form a combat effectiveness this season. He can increase the team's breakthrough ability, and he can also deliver shells to Hu Lai ... We lacked variety in attacking from the wing last season, relying on simple crosses from the wing...We can't do that again this season."

Randyll frowned and said, "Tony, I didn't throw cold water on you. I heard that Kamara has a nickname that is not very nice, called 'Lone Wolf'. I believe you must know what this nickname means. In fact That's my biggest fear, that he might not fit in at all..."

In the tea room, it's okay to confront the head coach face to face, which is why Randyll can speak so bluntly.

Speaking of which, the tradition of this tea room is still the "inheritance" left by Lauren Galley to Leeds City, and it is also one of the few things that has the color of Lauren Galley preserved after Clark took over the team.

Because he found that this way of everyone getting together to drink tea and have snacks to communicate is very conducive to the coaches getting together to discuss tactics, sum up experience and lessons, and discuss a week's training schedule, which is better than in the office.

Although Lauren Galli was very critical of his successor, Clark did not feel that everything that "Daddy" left in the team was original sin. practice.

He just canceled the unscientific things of Lauren Galli, while the effective and beneficial ones were kept.

"I don't know if he can integrate into the team, maybe he can, maybe he can't. But before it proves that we have failed, we still have to give him a chance. Let's observe his performance through training and warm-up games. After all, every signing This kind of talented young player is actually a gamble." Clark did not refute Randall's words, "The only thing that can give me a little confidence is Matt's follow-up observation of Kamara in "The Godfather of Champions", although It’s a game, but it’s a game that helped us get a holeshot, and I hope it doesn’t take us too far this time.”

With that said, all eyes were on Matt Dawn.

The team's video analyst, but sometimes he's like a part-time scout.

Before Hu Lai joined the team, everyone only regarded him as a video analyst. After Hu Lai joined the team, many people felt that Matt really had some vision.

Holley's success story is so convincing that Randyll has nothing to say: "Well, let's hope God is on our side this time."

PS, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass in March! !

In addition, I found that everyone misunderstood one thing. I released Hu Lai's signature in the Easter Egg Chapter at the end of the last chapter, but some people seemed to think that was my ugly handwriting... Don't make a mistake!

This is Hu Lai's signature!

It was written by Hu Lai himself, so how can you blame me for being ugly? It's Hu Lai's ugly character!

Do you still remember when I wrote Hu Lai in the first volume to give people an autograph, and what did others see when he signed it?

The words are ugly!

So the ugly character is the reason for Hu Lai. I am just a porter, and I just sent out the signature of Hu Lai that I got by chance for everyone to see.

What does Hu Lai's ugly characters have to do with me as an author?
