Chapter 116 Don't underestimate yourself

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

With goals from Holley, Pete Williams and Laski, Leeds finally beat Holt 3-0 at home.

Two consecutive victories while going two consecutive games without conceding a goal.

The performance of the Leeds City team is better than before.

This makes everyone look forward to their next Europa League.

In particular, the improvement in defense is obvious-after all, it has not conceded a goal in two consecutive games, which is unheard of in Leeds City this season!

The last time they did not concede a goal in two consecutive games dates back to April last year. In the thirty-third and thirty-fourth rounds of the league last season, Leeds City defeated Waldhampton 2-0 and 1. :0 against Athletic Manchester.

Coincidentally, this season, Leeds City's two consecutive rounds without conceding a goal also started with a 2-0 victory over Walder Hampton...

Walderhampton's best assist is well deserved!

Junpei Morikawa still started in this game and played the whole game.

He has played the whole game for two consecutive games, and he has no physical problems at all, which is reassuring.

Although he didn't have as many highlights in this game as in the previous game, an excellent defensive player doesn't need to be in the limelight all the time to be able to do a good job in defense, which is more level.

In many cases, Junpei Morikawa only needs to appear in the correct position to steal the ball.

Or get stuck in the right lane and force Holt's players to bypass him.

Although he didn't touch the ball, he didn't complete the tackle and tackle, it was also a successful defense.

Because he created a barrier in midfield, Leeds City's back line did not always have to face the opponent's attack directly.

They can naturally handle the ball more calmly.

Although it only appeared twice, many people were moved by the hard-working and dedicated Morikawa Junpei.

Especially the players of Leeds City, they can clearly perceive the different feelings during the game before and after Morikawa Junpei came to the team.

Jay Adams and Pete Williams, who partnered Morikawa in midfield, were full of praise for Morikawa's performance.

They think that the existence of Morikawa Junpei makes them feel at ease.

Especially Jay Adams.

Although he plays as a defensive midfielder, he still has to take on the task of organizing the offense, so sometimes he needs to go forward.

If it weren't for Junpei Morikawa, he would have been hesitant, and even if he went up, he would have been worried that he would always have to chase back, and he would have exhausted all his energy on it.

But now, after he went up, even if Leeds City lost the ball, he was not so afraid. Because Junpei Morikawa behind him will use various methods, either to slow down the opponent's offensive rhythm, or to steal the ball directly and pass the football to him.

The impact of this sense of security is great, and it can even make players perform better in the game.

It is especially important for a team that is good at offense like Leeds City-they can be more free in offense.

Back in the dressing room, Hu Lai put his arms around Junpei Morikawa: "Hurry up and take a shower and change clothes, and I'll take you to eat delicious food later!"

Charlie Potter, who heard the key words next to him, leaned forward shyly: "What did I hear? Aha! I heard it all, huh! To celebrate Morikawa's outstanding performance, I want to go too!"

"Go, go!" Hu Lai waved him away, "What's the matter with you!"

"Hey, it's nothing to do with me, I'm also part of the team!" Charlie Potter held his head high and proud.

He thought that Hu Lai would bring him with him in the end after saying "get out" like before.

But I didn't expect Hu Lai's attitude to be very firm this time: "No way, Charlie. This time is a work party."

"Work party?" Potter froze for a moment, "What is that?"

"To put it simply, we are talking about business." Hu Lai said seriously. "A business matter."

"Okay..." Charlie Potter had no choice but to reluctantly give up the chance to eat.

Sitting in the car, Morikawa Junpei still hesitated: "I won't go for your work, Hu Lai?"

But Hu Lai waved his hand: "That's for Charlie, it's actually a private party."

"It's even worse for me to go to a private party..."

"Oh, it's okay. I've made an agreement with the other side. You are my friend, so it's okay to take you with me. Besides, I'll go eat delicious food by myself. What's the point of throwing you at home alone?" Hu Lai comforted him, "Don't worry, just follow along. You are not strangers, you know them, and they know you."

"Could it be Brother Huan and the others?" Junpei Morikawa guessed.

"Where are they free? Don't guess, you'll know when you go!" Hu Lai focused on driving, heading towards the restaurant that had been booked in advance.

This time, I can no longer invite people to dinner at my own home.

Otherwise, everyone will see that Li Qingqing is familiar with the way... It's not clear!

※※※

When Morikawa Junping saw the smiling Li Qingqing, he first cast a glance at Hu Lai, and understood why Hu Lai would not want Charlie Potter to come.

At the same time, I am deeply honored that Hu Lai is willing to bring me here...

"Hi Morikawa, I'm Li Qingqing." Li Qingqing offered to extend his hand to Junpei Morikawa.

The latter quickly grabbed it, and at the same time politely did not hold on, but separated with a light touch.

He had seen and heard of Li Qingqing on many occasions.

In Japan, Li Qingqing is called "the super beautiful girl of Chinese football" by the Japanese media who like to exaggerate. Her good appearance and excellent football skills have many fans even in Japan.

This was the first time he had met Li Qingqing face to face in reality.

Really girly.

"Hello, I'm Junpei Morikawa, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me!" Junpei Morikawa stood at attention and bowed, making it very formal.

Song Jiajia quickly said, "There's no need to be so formal..."

Junpei Morikawa said very seriously: "No. This is a courtesy. Hu Lai rejected the whole team of Leeds City, but only brought me here. I think it is my honor!"

Li Qingqing asked Hu Lai in surprise: "You rejected the whole team?"

Hu Lai waved his hand: "Don't listen to Morikawa's nonsense, it's just rejecting Charlie alone, that kid overheard me saying please eat..."

Junpei Morikawa looked at him solemnly and said, "But Hu Lai, didn't you tell me that if Charlie Potter knows about dinner treats, it means letting the whole team know?"

Hu Lai was a little embarrassed: Why are you shaking out of everything, kid?

The others burst out laughing.

As rumored, Junpei Morikawa was a different man.

"So you are going to shoot a promotional video for China's national competition?" At the dinner table, Morikawa Junpei looked at Hu Lai and Li Qingqing who were sitting together, and finally understood why Li Qingqing appeared in Leeds.

At first, he really thought that Li Qingqing was just here to visit Hu Lai - the two of them have such a good relationship, it's normal to come to see Hu Lai specifically.

I didn't expect that it was indeed for work.

"Why? You don't think the two of us look alike?" Hu Lai leaned closer to Li Qingqing as he spoke, bringing himself and Li Qingqing closer so that Junpei Morikawa could take a closer look.

Junpei Morikawa shook his head quickly: "No, no. I think it's great, you are a good match!"

Song Jiajia opened his mouth slightly and forgot to speak.

Li Qingqing still kept a smile on his face, but lowered his eyes, not knowing where to look.

Hu Lai laughed twice, but didn't answer.

The private room suddenly became quiet.

Junpei Morikawa also seemed to be aware of the embarrassment behind this quietness. Although he didn't know why it happened, it was always right to apologize first: "Ah, sorry, did I say the wrong thing? Is the use of 'good match' wrong?"

He looked at everyone sincerely.

Song Jiajia patted the table: "No, no, it's used correctly! It's used so well! It should be clear! Come to Senchuan for a walk!"

He raised the wine in his glass, and Junpei Morikawa responded with purified water.

When the two of them toasted and drank, Hu Lai secretly glanced at Li Qingqing, wanting to see her reaction.

Turning his head, he realized that Li Qingqing was looking at him.

The eyes of the two of them collided unexpectedly.

Although it was a bit of a surprise, this time, none of them looked away.

Just staring at each other.

※※※

After the dinner, Song Jiajia and Li Qingqing went back to the hotel where they were staying, while Hu Lai drove Morikawa Junping home.

In the car, Hu Lai, who was waiting for the green light, suddenly asked, "Sen Chuan, how do you know that Li Qingqing and I are a good match?"

Morikawa Junpei glanced at him, a little surprised: "Isn't this obvious at a glance?"

"Is it that obvious?" Hu Lai was even more surprised.

Junpei Morikawa smiled: "Then I don't know what others think, but in my eyes, even if the two of you just stand together casually, you won't feel that there is anything wrong. But if any of you I would feel weird if I were replaced by someone else..."

"Li Qingqing is the goddess in the hearts of countless people..."

"You are a role model for countless people, Hu Lai." Junpei Morikawa said seriously. "Li Qingqing will encourage many girls to play football. You can also encourage many people to play football. Like me."

Junpei Morikawa pointed at himself.

"If it wasn't for your encouragement, I'm afraid I would have retired. And Brother Huan, if it weren't for you, what would he look like now? Xiaoyu has always regarded you as a benchmark. Old Wang, little Xingxing... ...why do you think they got together?"

Hu Lai was speechless. Now that he thinks about it, he seems to have never thought about this question: Obviously everyone is such an excellent person. Brother Huan was once the number one talent in Chinese football. Famous in the national competition...why did it all have something to do with me in the end?

"So, don't underestimate yourself, Hu Sang!"

In the car with changing ambient lights, Hu Lai couldn't see his facial expression clearly when Morikawa Junpei said so.

The red light at the intersection outside the car is off and the green light is on.

Hu Lai withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look ahead of the road, released the brake, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car out of the stop line.

He stopped asking questions and focused on driving.

Morikawa Junpei also stopped talking, and looked ahead just as intently.
