Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 131: People who demand progress

Tony Clark is alone in his office studying the edited video of the last game that Matt just submitted to him.

In this game, Leeds defeated Northumbria 2-0 in the final away game.

It was easy to win, and the opponent's performance was not very good.

But Clark still has to study the game video to find out what the team can improve and which problems should be paid attention to next time.

The brows that looked at him frowned.

Then he bowed his head and wrote down what he saw in his notebook.

When the team was training, Clark found Hu Lai alone.

"Hu, I'm very happy that you tried three long shots from outside the penalty area in the last game, but I found that your three-legged long shots were actually not the right timing, so the final effect was not very good, it was outrageous... To be honest, I don't think this is your normal level, do you have any ideas?" Clark frowned and asked.

Hu Lai scratched his head and smiled, a little embarrassed: "Uh, I think so, boss. I was interviewed after the game against the South Korean team and said that I would not shoot long distances, it was completely random. If I am going to be blinded right away. Just shoot high-quality long-range shots. Wouldn't it make people think that I was lying? Didn't it just hit me in the face?"

Clark just looked at Hu Lai without saying a word.

Under his gaze, the smile on Hu Lai's face gradually became awkward, and he had to say again: "Well, it's actually like this, boss. I scored a long shot against the South Korean team. It stands to reason. It is reasonable to say that I should have tasted the sweetness of long shot goals, so according to ordinary people's thinking, I will try more long shots in the game. But because I have never focused on long shots, so I am in the game. Naturally, the level of long shots in the game will not be as high... In short, I want to leave such an impression on outsiders who don’t know what’s inside. This way, when I need to use long shots to score goals at critical moments, I can be surprised... …"

After listening to Hu Lai's explanation this time, Clark grinned: "Sure enough, your kid is still thinking about how yin is..."

Hu Lai protested euphemistically: "Boss, this is wisdom. You should know the "Art of War", right?"

Clark nodded: "Of course, I know."

"The Art of War" is also well-known in the Western world. Clark has heard of this book, but he has not studied it carefully.

Seeing that the boss knew about this book, Hu Lai felt it was easier to talk about, because there is a famous book to endorse himself, which will make his next words particularly convincing.

He said: "The "Army of War" says that using soldiers to fight is actually a weird and deceptive action. So those who are capable must pretend to be incapable; those who want to act must pretend not to take action... You see, boss, I strictly follow the requirements of "The Art of War". Obviously I have the ability to shoot long distances, but I have to pretend that I can't shoot long distances... So how can this be a yin? This is our Chinese ancestor Thousands of years of wisdom! Boss! To put it bluntly, aren’t football tactics and war tactics the same? We also always have to induce our opponents in our tactics and maximize our strengths and avoid our weaknesses..."

Hearing what Hu Lai said, Clark frowned and fell into thought.

He had always thought that Hu Lai was full of spooky ideas because of his personality... But now he heard that he was foresight, and every thing he did was fully considered and planned.

I used to joke Matt about thinking of the young man in front of him too simply, but he didn't expect that now he seems to have made the same mistake as Matt.

"So you plan to act as a long-range beginner to paralyze your opponent?" Clark asked.

Hu Lai nodded: "Of course, boss."

"Doesn't it mean that you will not be able to score a goal with a long shot for a long time?"

"Of course not, boss. This way of scoring long shots still requires some luck...so I can occasionally score a goal with a long shot. The important thing is that the level of performance fluctuates, sometimes good and sometimes bad. This can further deepen the opponent’s doubts about me... After the boss taught me that day, I went back and thought about it. Since long shots can make it more difficult for my opponents to defend me, why don’t I make them even more confused? When they thought I would shoot long distances, I told them that I was blind. When they thought I was going to shoot long distances by luck, they would naturally relax their vigilance towards me, so that I would show my true level... Repeatedly cheating opponents like this will definitely make them completely confused."

Seeing what Hu Lai was talking about, Clark resisted the urge to sigh, and just waved his hand: "Okay, I see. Go and train."

"Okay, boss!" Hu Lai said, turned and ran back to the training ground.

Clark looked at his back and couldn't help thinking in his heart: Chinese people are so cunning...no, are they smart?

It seems that I should probably buy an English translation of "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" and study it carefully. It should also be helpful to my coaching.

Clark, who never relaxes his demands for progress, made up his mind secretly.

Pete Williams finished a day of training and drove back to the house where he lived with his grandma-why did he go back to his grandma's house instead of his parents' house?

On the one hand, because grandma’s home is closer to the training base, on the other hand, because as a child brought up by her grandma, Williams and her grandma have a deeper relationship. After grandpa passed away, grandma lived in this house alone, and Williams moved in to accompany grandma.

Just after dinner, when he returned to his room, he suddenly heard grandma's panic shout: "Pete! Pete! Come on! Someone is looking for you!"

Williams, who was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, turned over and jumped off the bed, and then ran downstairs suspiciously.

Why does my grandma seem panicked when someone looks for me?

When he saw a brown-haired girl standing at the door, he was stunned.

Grandma has walked up to him quickly and said in a low voice, "Pete, grandma knows you are at that age now. But if you want to be satisfied next time..., can you converge a little bit and call the girl home directly? Come on, isn't it right?"

Hearing what grandma said, Williams finally understood why grandma's voice just sounded a little frightened... it turned out that she wanted to be crooked!

Williams had to explain: "Grandma, you think too much, she is the French teacher I hired. I only have time at night, so I had to call her home at night..."

Grandma winked her eyebrows: "I know, I know, the tutor...you young people really know how to play!"

"What is it, grandma..." Williams was dumbfounded, and decided that he was not ideal for the grandma who had too much visual power, and greeted him. Miss?"

"Yes, I'm Delphine Isabella. Mr. Williams." The young girl standing at the door, holding a satchel in both hands, stood in front of the Leeds super football star somewhat restrained.

She knew who invited herself when she accepted the offer. She also hesitated whether to refuse the job. She is different from those superficial girls who want to go to the celebrity bed. She feels like an ordinary person and super It's not necessarily a good thing that celebrities get involved.

But in the end, the high tuition fee persuaded her to take the job-no way, Pete Williams gave too much.

In this way, the 26-year-old young girl Delphine Isabella became the French tutor of the Leeds midfielder and football star Pete Williams.

"Then let's just start?" Williams pointed to the dining room table.

"Is it here?" Isabella looked there with some surprise.

"Yes, right here." While speaking, Williams glanced at his grandmother who had been beside him.

If he takes Isabella upstairs and teaches in his room, the ghost knows what plot his grandmother will come up with.

So the best way is to start class calmly in the restaurant, under the watchful eyes of grandma.

Only in this way can I prove to grandma that he hired a genuine French teacher, and that he himself really wants to learn French.

Of course Isabella had no objection. She and Williams walked to the dining table together and took out all the contents of her bag.

At the same time, he also handed a copy to Williams.

"What is this?" Williams asked.

"Your textbook, Mr. Williams."

"Oh, good." After Williams accepted, the two sat opposite each other and officially began to teach.

And grandma secretly observed next to him, and found that the two of them were actually taking French lessons seriously...

While relaxing, she couldn't help but worry about her grandson:

Even the call girl doesn't know how to find, what can my grandson do in the future...

※※※

Grandma, who had fallen asleep on the sofa, was awakened by the sound of closing the door. She opened her eyes and found that her grandson had just turned back from the gate.

She hurriedly struggled to sit up and asked, "Your class is over?"

"Well, today's class is over. I have an appointment with Miss Isabella, and I will come three times a week to teach me French."

Grandma opened her mouth wide, a little surprised: "You actually want to learn French..."

"Of course, am I a lie?" Williams said in a certain tone. He felt aggrieved when he thought of grandma's previous misunderstanding-am I actually such a person in my grandma's mind? !

So the tone of the speech is decisive.

Unexpectedly, he was not sure that it was okay, but the melancholy color on his grandma's face was even stronger.

"Pete, are you leaving Leeds to play in France?"

Williams really didn’t expect grandma to think of this thing... He waved his hand quickly: “No, no, grandma, don’t guess! I’m very satisfied with my playing in Leeds, and I didn’t want to leave, let alone. Go to France!"

"Then why do you want to learn French properly?" Grandma didn't quite believe the explanation of grandson.

"This... Grandma, you know, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Ismail is not very good at English now. I want to communicate with him, so I have to learn French."

"But didn't you say that there was a Hu to help you translate?"

Hearing the words of grandma, Williams showed an awkward look on his face: "...it is always troublesome, and Hu is not good, so I decided to beg for myself. It's really like this, grandma, anyway, don't guess. . I will not go to France to play!"

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Hearing the grandson say so, grandma smiled again.
