Fox in the Penalty Area

"Faluk Namozov officially announced his withdrawal from the national team in an interview after the match. Although he said in this World Cup qualifier, this will be the last time he will participate in the World Cup qualifier... But when this When the moment really came, it still made people very reluctant...

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

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

What appeared in the picture was the captain of Uzbekistan, Faruk Namozov, who stood in front of the background board for an interview after the game yesterday.

He understands the standard Uzbek spoken by the news announcer, as well as the headline text on the news, so he knows what the news is about.

The football hero of a country is bidding farewell. He turned and walked behind the curtain of history. When the curtain fell again, he would never be seen again.

After accepting the interview, Namozov on the TV screen nodded and thanked the reporter, turned and walked out of the camera's lens range.

Hu Lai also retracted his gaze, pulled the suitcase and turned and continued to walk towards his boarding gate.

He had to fly back to England from Tashkent, and his national teammates took the opportunity to leave Tashkent a little earlier than him.

He was alone at the airport waiting for the announcement of his flight boarding.

Not only was he waiting, he had to complete this transfer twice alone, and took three flights of two airlines, and it took fifteen hours to arrive in London.

Then I saw my agent, Yong Jun, and took another three hours by car to return to his apartment in Leeds.

This is his journey alone, and the price he must pay to play abroad as "the only hope in the village".

Those days when I returned from the UK to participate in the competition, basically spent this way.

Hu Lai, with the boundless scenery on the court, walked by alone in an airport in a foreign country, dragging his suitcase and carrying a backpack.

Walking past those busy or deserted airport duty-free shops, sometimes following the flow of people, sometimes against the flow of people, occasionally stopping to read the news like today, most of the time rushing 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 game is temporarily over, and the journey of the World Cup is not over yet. But the league will also reignite warfare. Hu Lai must rush back non-stop to pay him a real salary so that he can contribute to a professional football club with football, so that he can 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 the imagination is that he passed the opposing player on the pitch, scored the football goal in a huge cheer, and then ran to celebrate. In his ears, he could not hear the narrator's passionate shout... His image It will appear in posters, star cards, advertisements, television broadcasts, and sports news.

No matter where he goes, someone will recognize him, come around to find him for an autograph, take a photo with him, and call his name loudly.

These are all the imagination of a kid about professional players.

At that time, Hu Lai absolutely never thought of becoming a real professional player. In fact, there are many very trivial things that are not even related to football.

However, when he now fully understands how difficult it is to become a professional player first, he did not feel that "it is not easy to do anything", but remains the same as before. He is fortunate to be a professional player. The players are happy and proud.

No matter it is not easy to do anything, this sentence is of course correct.

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

※※※

The distance between Tashkent, the capital of Tajikistan, and London, England, is closer than the distance between the Chinese capital and London, but Hu Lai spent more time on the journey than flying back to London from the more distant Chinese capital, and it was more tossing.

This is because Tashkent has no direct flights to London.

Therefore, although Hu Lai can use [Physical Strength Potion] to eliminate the fatigue of playing the last game, he still looks very tired after returning to Leeds United.

After finishing the game against London Bridge on October 5th, returning to Leeds City on October 15th. In ten days, he rushed from Leeds to London, then flew from London to the Chinese capital, and then flew from the capital to Tashkent, and finally from Tashkent via the Turkish capital Istanbul and Bulgarian capital Sofia, transiting back to London, and finally arrived. Leeds.

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

There are nearly forty-eight hours spent in the sky and the airport.

Not to mention the pain of jet lag back and forth.

So Huley was naturally out of the list of Leeds City away to challenge Waldhampton.

This was the first time he failed to be selected into the big squad after playing in Leeds City-after he returned from the top 12 before, Clark just didn't let him start, but he still put him in the big game. List of.

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

Leeds without Hulay eventually lost to Waldhampton 1:2 away.

Waldhampton ranked eleventh before this round of the league, and Leeds ranked second. It seems that the rankings of the two teams are quite different, but in actual performance, there is no nine-place difference between the two teams.

This is not the first time Leeds City has lost to a team that ranks significantly lower than them.

So far this season, Leeds City has only lost three games. The first defeat was at home to their strong defending champion Stan Park Rangers. The remaining two games were lost to players who ranked much lower than them in the away game-the sixth round of the league lost 0:1 to the ninth-ranked Boscombe at the time, and the ninth round of the league away 1:1: 2 Lost to eleventh Waldhampton.

Compared with their performance against teams with lower rankings, Leeds City's performance against strong teams is often commendable:

Defeated Tramed 2:0 at home, beat the North London Rangers 4:3 away, and beat London Bridge 2:1 at home, both of which are the result of the traditional Premier League big6.

After losing to Waldhampton, a Chinese fan gave Leeds a nickname:

Rob the rich and help the poor in Leeds.

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

Although they lost the game, Leeds still ranks very well in the league.

With 18 points, they only slipped one place and ranked third.

Second place was replaced by Athletic Manchester, who defeated Sidham 2-0 in this round of the league.

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

Tramed, who had 15 points, drew 1:1 with the Stan Park Rangers at home and failed to catch up with Leeds.

The warship port, which had 15 points with Tramed, was overturned in the gutter and lost to the newly promoted Manosumbria 0:1 in the away game. We must know that this opponent is also the same away, Leeds City is 2:0 lightly.

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

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

But even if they win the ball, London Bridge now has only 14 points, four points short of Leeds City of 18 points.

Consider where Leeds City was last season, and where they are now after losing three league games.

No one criticized the team's performance.

Moreover, the next round of League Hulai is about to return, which also makes the fans of Leeds City full of expectations for the next round of the home game against Vijayston.

In the "White Rose" bar, members of the fan organization of the same name gathered together and closed the doors to practice the "Song of Hu" created by their boss, David Miller, before it opened.

I heard David Miller very satisfied: "I said this song is particularly easy to learn, right? The melody is simple enough and famous enough, the lyrics and pronunciation are also very suitable, and the changes are small. If you lose the last round of the league, you lose, anyway. It's also away, and Hu isn't there yet... In the next round we will play at Vijayston. We are at home and Hu will definitely play. When he scores the goal, we will sing it to him in the stands! I will send you all the lyrics. , Everyone must go back and learn well!"

"Ok……"

"If you insist..."

The partners responded weakly.

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

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

So just like that, the song David Miller wrote to Hu Lai was born.

However, because the next game is for the national team, Hu Lai left Leeds and returned to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers play-offs, so the song has not yet officially appeared.

After Hulai came back, he was not selected for the Leeds away game against Waldhampton. Therefore, this song is still unknown. The other members of the "White Rose" are very grateful. Only David Miller is not satisfied. For this reason, he still scolded Tony in the bar by drinking alcohol. Clark:

"...I know that he went to play in the national team, but even if he can't start, can't he be selected for the big squad so that he has the opportunity to come off the bench? I 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 opportunity to sing that song proudly and loudly! And we can win the game and take away three points..."

John’s answer to this was: "Damn it, David. Although I also hope that the team will win, this time I am really glad that Hu is not present...because I don’t really want to sing your song in front of so many people. Damn the song of Hu..."

The other companions were holding beer mugs and all agreed with John.

The thrilling David wanted to draw a sword on the spot to fight John...

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

He is right. Leeds will play against Wiggiston at home, and Hulay will return to the starting line-although the team did not make such an official announcement, the fans know that this is no secret. How could Leeds City's top scorer not make it to the starting roster when he is not injured or ill?

David felt that Levin's words were reasonable, and he patted the table happily: "Yes, when we wait for the next game, we will shock the audience!"

John glared at Levin and whispered: "Look at what you did!"

Levin knew that he was wrong, so he desperately tried to make up for it. He then proposed to David: "David, I think...we should sing after Hu scored a goal instead of singing at all times. This makes sense... After all, you. The song is written by Hu Goal..."

David Miller has no objection: "Yes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com sings after Hu scored a goal!"

John spread his hand and mumbled: "I don't want Hu to score a goal in a game for the first time..."

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

The other "White Rose" partners also nodded bitterly, feeling that John's wishful thinking would never be realized.

Because I don't know when, the fans of Leeds City don't seem to be too surprised about Hulai's goal.

Just like many football fields in the corner of this city, there are more and more teenagers who are popular to imitate Hu Lai's scoring moves after scoring a goal.

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