Fox in the Penalty Area

"Faruk Namozov officially announced his withdrawal from the national team in an interview after the game. Although he expressed during this World Cup qualifier that this will be his last World Cup qualifier...but when this When the moment really comes, it is still very sad...

"Namozov calmly stated this decision in front of the camera. He didn't explain too much, and he didn't say anything else. He only said that he would focus on the club's events..."

Hu Lai, who was at the airport, saw the news broadcast on the airport TV, so he stopped and stopped to watch.

Appearing in the picture is Uzbekistan captain Faruk Namozov standing in front of the background panel for an interview after yesterday's game.

He can understand the standard Uzbek spoken by the news announcer, and he can also understand the headlines on the news, so he naturally knows what the news is about.

A national football hero is saying farewell as he turns and walks behind the curtain of history. When the curtain fell again, he was no longer seen.

After accepting the interview, Namozov on the TV screen nodded his thanks to the reporter, turned around and walked out of the scope of the camera lens.

Hu Lai also looked away, pulled the suitcase and turned around to continue walking towards his boarding gate.

He had to fly back to England from Tashkent, which his national team-mates had left earlier than him.

He was alone at the airport waiting for his own flight announcement to board.

Not only was he waiting, but he also had to make two transfers by himself, take three flights of two airlines, and travel 15 hours before arriving in London.

Then he met his agent Yong Jun there, and took a car for more than three hours to return to his apartment in Leeds.

This is a journey that belongs to him alone, and it is the price he must pay to play football abroad as "the only hope of the whole village".

That's basically how it went during those days when I came back from the UK to compete.

Hu Lai, who is so beautiful on the court, walks alone in the airport in a foreign country, dragging a suitcase and carrying a backpack.

Walking through the bustling or deserted airport duty-free shops, sometimes I go with the flow of people, sometimes I go against the flow of people, I occasionally stop to watch the news like today, and most of the time I rush to the lounge or the boarding gate.

Because the time card is very tight, he has no personal time like shopping at all.

The national team competition has come to an end for the time being, and the journey of the World Cup is not over yet. But the league will also rekindle the flames of war. Hu Lai must rush back non-stop to contribute to the professional football club that really pays him and allows him to use football as a profession. Only in this way can he be worthy of the salary given by others.

Before becoming a professional player, when he was just an ordinary fan, Hu Lai imagined what a professional player should look like. All imaginings of him dribbling past opponents on the pitch, scoring the football to the goal amidst huge cheers, and then running to celebrate, with the impassioned cries of the commentators that were actually not heard at all... the image of him It will appear in posters, star cards, advertisements, and also in TV broadcasts and sports news.

No matter where he goes, people will recognize him, surround him for autographs, take photos with him, and shout his name loudly.

These are all a child's imagination about professional players.

At that time, Hu Lai never thought of becoming a real professional player. In fact, there were still many very trivial things that had nothing to do with football that he needed to worry about.

However, now that he has fully understood how difficult it is to become a professional player first, he did not feel that "it is not easy to do anything". The players are happy and proud.

It is certainly true that nothing is easy to do.

But if what you do is something you like, no matter how hard it is, it will be sweet.

※※※

The distance between Tashkent, the capital of Tajikistan, and London, England is closer than that between the capital of China and London, but the time spent on the journey by Hu Lai is longer and more troublesome than flying back to London from the farther capital of China.

This is because there are no direct flights from Tashkent to London.

Therefore, even though Hu Lai could use [Physical Potion] to eliminate the fatigue from the last game, he still looked very tired after returning to Leeds United.

After finishing the match against London Bridge on October 5th, he returned to Leeds on October 15th. In ten days, he traveled from Leeds to London, from London to the capital of China, from the capital to Tashkent, and finally from Tashkent via Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, and Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, back to London, and finally arrived at leeds.

The total flight mileage is almost enough to circle the earth once.

Nearly forty-eight hours were spent in the sky and at the airport.

Not to mention the pain of jet lag.

So of course Hu Lai was not selected for Leeds City's away game against Walder Hampton.

This is the first time since he played in Leeds City, he was not selected for the squad for the game-after he returned from participating in the top 12 before, Clark just didn't let him start, but he still put him in the squad list of.

Tony Clark considered that he was the player of the Leeds City team with the longest flight time, the longest flight distance, and the longest playing time during the national team match day, so he simply gave him a vacation and let him rest at home.

Leeds City, without Hou Lai, finally lost 1:2 away to Walder Hampton.

Walderhampton ranked 11th before this round of the league, and Leeds City ranked second. It seems that the rankings of the two teams are very different, but in actual performance, there is no difference of nine places between the two teams.

This isn't the first time Leeds have lost to a team significantly lower than them.

So far this season, Leeds City have only lost three games. The first loss was at home to their strong defending champion Stan Park Rangers. The remaining two games were lost away to players ranked much lower than them - 0:1 away in the sixth round of the league to Boscomb, who was ranked ninth at the time, and 1:1 away in the ninth round of the league. 2 lost to No. 11 Walder Hampton.

Compared with their performance against teams ranked lower than them, Leeds City's performance against strong teams is often remarkable:

Defeated Tramed 2:0 at home, North London Rangers 4:3 away, and London Bridge 2:1 at home. These are all results between the traditional Premier League big6.

After losing to Walderhampton, some Chinese fans nicknamed Leeds City:

Steal from the rich and give to the poor in Leeds.

Don't say it, it's really a bit apt...

Although they lost the game, Leeds City's ranking in the league is still very good.

Still accumulating 18 points, they just slipped one place and ranked third.

The second place was replaced by Manchester Athletic who defeated Sydenham 2-0 away in this round of the league.

Fortunately, the performance of the teams behind Leeds City was not satisfactory.

With 15 points, Tramed drew 1:1 with Stan Park Rangers at home and failed to take the opportunity to catch up with Leeds City.

Warship Harbor, which has 15 points with Tramed, was overturned in the gutter, losing 0:1 to the newly promoted Northumbria in the away game. You must know that the same opponent is also an away game. Leeds City won 2:0 lightly.

North London Rangers shook hands with West Hertz 1:1 at home.

Only London Bridge won the ball, they beat the Highlanders 1-0 at home.

But even if they win the game, London Bridge now only has 14 points, four points away from Leeds City with 18 points.

Consider where Leeds were last season and where they are now after three league losses.

No one criticized the team's performance.

Moreover, Hu Lai is about to return in the next round of the league, which also makes Leeds City fans full of expectations for the next round of home games against Wijston.

In the "White Rose" bar, members of the fan organization of the same name gathered together, and while they were not open for business, they closed the door and practiced the "Hu Song" created by their boss David Miller again.

David Miller was very satisfied when he heard it: "I just said that this song is very easy to learn, right? The melody is simple enough and famous enough, and the pronunciation of the lyrics is also very suitable, and the changes are very small. If you lose in the last round of the league, you lose, anyway. It's also an away game, and Hu isn't here... The next round is against Wiggerston, we are at home, and Hu will definitely play. When he scores a goal, we will sing to him from the stands! I have sent you the lyrics , everyone must go back and learn by heart!"

"Ok……"

"If you insist..."

The partners responded feebly.

Miller didn't care about their attitude, but waved his hand in satisfaction: "Let's do it again!"

His inspiration for this song came from Leeds City's 2:1 home game against London Bridge. He wrote the lyrics after the game. Although John and Levin seemed to have different opinions on this song, David · Miller insisted on his own opinion, and made his decision as the boss.

And so, David Miller's song for Holly was born.

However, because of the upcoming national team match, Hu Lai left Leeds City and returned to China to participate in the World Cup qualifier play-offs, so this song has not yet officially appeared.

After Hou Lai came back, he was not selected for Leeds City's away game against Walder Hampton. So this song is still unknown, and the other members of "White Rose" are very grateful for this, only David Miller is not satisfied, for which he also scolded Tony in the bar for drinking. clark:

"...I know he went to play for the national team, but even if he can't start, can't he be selected in the squad so that he can have a chance to come off the bench? Let me tell you, even if he comes off the bench, as long as he can play, he must We can score! Then we will have the chance to sing that song proudly and loudly! And we can win the game and take the three points..."

And John's answer to this was: "Damn, David. I really want the team to win, but this time I'm really glad Hu wasn't there... because I don't want to actually sing your song in front of so many people." Damn 'Hu Zhige'..."

The other companions held beer glasses and expressed their approval for John.

The excited David wanted to draw his sword and fight John on the spot...

Fortunately, Levin persuaded him: "Calm down, David. Think about it, Hu will definitely be able to play in the next league match between us and Wiggerston. So we just have to wait for another round..."

He was right, when Leeds City played against Wiggerston at home, Hu Lai will return to the starting lineup-although the team did not make such an official announcement, fans all know that this is no secret. How could the top scorer of Leeds City not be able to enter the starting list when he was not injured or ill?

David felt that what Levin said made sense, and happily patted the table: "That's right, we will shock the audience in the next game!"

John glared at Levin and complained in a low voice: "Look at what you've done!"

Levin knew he was in the wrong, so he desperately tried to make up for it. He suggested to David: "David, I think...we should sing after Hu scored a goal, instead of singing it at any time, so it makes sense... After all, you The song is about Hu Gouqiu..."

David Miller had no objection: "Yes, after Hu scored!"

John spread his hands and muttered: "For the first time, I don't want Hu to score in the game..."

David was very happy and laughed loudly: "John, you are daydreaming!"

The other "White Rose" partners also nodded bitterly, feeling that John's wishful thinking was impossible to realize.

Because I don't know when, Leeds City fans seem to have stopped making too much fuss about Hu Lai's goal.

Just like many football fields in this corner of the city, there are more and more teenagers imitating Hu Lai's scoring moves after scoring goals.

Some things have begun to integrate into the city and become a part of people's lives here.
