Fox in the Penalty Area

Although the film crew of the Hulay documentary wanted to shoot Hulay’s first training session in Leeds.

But Tony Clark did not agree to this request, but allowed them to shoot during the first fifteen minutes of opening hours. It's just that the whole team was warming up at that time, and they couldn't produce any meaningful content. At most, it could only be used as a symbol of "Hu Lai has started training at the Leeds City Club" in the documentary.

The picture that can be obtained is that Hu Lai has put on the uniform light blue training uniform of Leeds City and his teammates are running on the training ground to warm up, and the teammates are helping each other to stretch.

They wanted to capture the scene where Hu Lai and his teammates were talking and laughing together, but they didn't appear in the camera.

Whether it was running or stretching, Hu Lai seemed focused and serious.

It stands to reason that this should be a good phenomenon.

However, someone from the camera crew who was waiting outside the training base for the time being looked at the shots replayed in their own machine, and still couldn't help frowning: "Oh, I always feel that Hu Lai is a little serious... and the feeling of training when he flashed the stars. It's so far away."

Someone next to him took a look and said, "It's normal, right? It's a strange environment after all, everyone is not familiar with it. Unlike him in Flash Star, he is surrounded by friends."

The emotional person said: "This is what I want to say. I am not worried about Hu Lai's ability, but I am worried that he has no friends here and cannot be integrated into the team. After all, he is a player who needs the support of his teammates after playing. Type, if no one passes the ball to him and helps him, his performance in Leeds will definitely not be as good as when he was flashing stars..."

The man comforted him: "It's far away... If Hu Lai can play his star performance in Leeds, then he is a superstar! What is the concept of 30 goals in a season in the Premier League? Let’s not be too anxious and wait patiently for Hu Lai’s growth."

The person being comforted stopped talking, and just repeatedly checked what he had just photographed.

I don't know if it is the difference between the "group performance" around him and the environment in which he is in. Looking at it this way, I feel that Hu Lai has become much more handsome.

Premier League player, one of the top football leagues in the world.

And Hu Lai has become a member of this event.

Perhaps my colleague is right, don't be too anxious, but be patient.

It is already a remarkable achievement that he can appear here and stand shoulder to shoulder with others.

On the training ground, Hu Lai was knocked to the ground by Farek Quinn, who was impressed yesterday.

He also failed to receive the ball.

But no whistle sounded, no one stopped training, everyone ran away after the football.

Only Quinn looked back at Hu Lai who had been hit on the ground by him, and said with a big tongue in English: "Don't lie on the ground and play dead!"

Hu Lai got up from the ground with a grin, and responded: "Thank you for reminding me, man."

Then crossed Quinn and reinvested in training.

Quinn was a little surprised by Hu Lai's response. He originally thought that this kid would quarrel with himself, so he would have an excuse to give him a bit of color.

As a result, the other party did not give himself such a chance.

I will stare at you, boy. See what you can do to replace Lorraine!

Quinn said silently in his heart.

Hu Lai, who ran to the new position, raised his arm again and asked his teammate for the ball.

Although the football was not passed, he did not give up, but continued to move to the next place.

After seeing this scene from the sidelines, assistant coach Sam Landier said to Tony Clark next to him: “He doesn’t look as introverted as I think the Chinese, although I didn’t see how he interacted with his teammates. We communicate. But in training he is actively asking for the ball."

Tony Clark naturally saw this, but he was more concerned about Hu Lai's position. He asked his assistant: "Sam, have you noticed his running without the ball?"

"Of course, although no conclusion can be drawn yet, as far as his moves, Matt is right. Hu is extremely talented in this area. But his body... he was just caught by Quinn. It's easy to knock down, if the referee won't even sound the whistle in the game." As an experienced coach, Sam Randyll saw Hu Lai's biggest shortcoming at a glance.

"Physically, of course, we will arrange a set of training content for him to increase his strength. But Sam, I don't think that is a big problem. He is not the kind of forward who fights against defensive players in the game. Even if he is in I was knocked down ten times in the game, but as long as I can seize the opportunity once, I think I did well."

"Is he so efficient?" Sam was a little surprised.

"Well, it is mainly reflected in his running position and superb shooting skills. Matt counted his performance in the just-concluded Chinese Super League. Hu played 22 games and scored 30 goals. Goal in seven consecutive rounds, scoring a total of 14 goals, averaging two goals per game." Tony Clark reported Matt sorted out the data for him. "He is not considered a strong player in the Super League. He has to face the defense of those strong defenders in the game, but he can still score so many goals..."

Seeing that Sam seemed to have something to say, Tony quickly said: "Of course I don't expect him to come to the Premier League to maintain such scoring efficiency. After all, both the rhythm and the confrontation here are much better than the Super League. But as long as He can score seven goals in half a season... No, five goals, I'm satisfied."

At present, Leeds City’s main scorer is their captain Lorenzo Esposito, the Italian veteran has scored five goals in the Premier League this season and is the team’s top scorer.

Although he is thirty-three years old, he is still the team's thigh.

The talented midfielder ranked second in the team's scorer list is Pete Williams, who scored four goals. However, due to problems with the negotiation of the contract extension between him and the club, his state is not good, and he has not scored a goal in 11 consecutive league rounds.

In addition, two players scored two goals, and there were five players who scored only one goal.

The team has scored a total of nine goals so far, scoring a total of 18 goals.

It is the third-lowest team in the league.

So Tony Clark felt that Hulay, a player who came halfway, would be good if he could score five goals in the remaining half of the season. Such requirements are not low, after all, the current top scorer Lorenzo Esposito also has five goals in half a season.

If Hu Lai can have such a performance, put it into the whole season, it is the result of being the team's top scorer.

The two were talking, Hu Lai on the field was defeated in a physical confrontation with his teammates and was knocked to the side.

"He still has a long way to go, Tony, you still don't think about how many goals he can score in half a season." Sam Randyll said upon seeing this.

Tony Clark rubbed his chin and fell silent.

After returning to the hotel for dinner in the evening, Hu Lai wore only a pair of shorts in his room, with his upper body naked, and asked Uncle Yong to apply medicine to him. In fact, it is simply to apply some safflower oil, and then to loosen it, and do a simple massage for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

The visual effect looks a little scary. Many places on Hu Lai's body are blue and purple, just like being domestically abused.

These are completely and faithfully presented in the shots of the CCTV documentary film crew.

When Yong Jun's hands rubbed and massaged him, Hu Lai took a breath: "Hiss..."

"It hurts?" Yong Jun stopped and asked.

"It's okay, Uncle Yong, continue." Hu Lai lay on the bed and shook his head.

Then he saw the camera lens, and said to the camera: "Actually, it is normal. I will have some bruises on my body after training and games when I was flashing stars. After all, football requires physical contact. Well."

Yong Jun poured some safflower oil on his palm next to him: "But it's not as much as it is now."

"This is the Premier League, Uncle Yong. The training intensity is almost catching up with our Chinese Super League. Coach Clark also specially arranged training for me to strengthen my physical confrontation ability this afternoon, and I also asked what I eat and drink every day. , I have to strictly follow that recipe to eat... Oh, I also learned at this time. It turns out that when Leeds City was coaching in Gary, the players had the custom of ordering pizza for dinner after the game... In that case, the dignified Premier League is not much better than our domestic professional."

"So why did Leeds not perform well in the past?" Yong Jun said half-jokingly, "There must be a certain reason. It's just that they have good foundations, and they are all non-professionals. They are definitely better than us. And in professional sports. If it is required by professional standards, even many world champions are not professional... I will not talk about drinking, just say smoking. Many players in the European League are smokers. Would someone use this to hold them down? ? It's nothing more than good grades."

This Hulai knows that many professional players in the European League smoke, and some people are addicted to smoking. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

Not to mention European football, Hu Lai knew that some people in the Flash Star team smoked, but they did not smoke in the locker room...

"In fact, this is fine now. Clark has arranged a special training plan for you, which shows that he really values ​​you and hopes you can improve. Be patient and continue to polish yourself." Yong Jun said while giving him a medicated massage.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry. I signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the club. I am still young. Take my time and lay the foundation, one step at a time..."

Hu Lai said and kept her voice down.

Yong Jun turned his head and glanced at him, and found that the kid had closed his eyes, had a long breath, and was obviously asleep.

So he stopped talking and his hand movements became much softer.

The photographer also performed his duties silently, recording the scene before him.

This is the first day of training for the "Hope of the Village" in the Premier League team.

He was covered with scars, but still optimistic.
