Chapter 22 Stud(1/2)
"Hulehulehulehu-lai!!! Beautiful! Beautiful!! Hulei is beautiful! Scored goals in two consecutive games! Amazing performance!"
"He Feng, He Feng... This is really incredible! No matter how confident I was in Hu Lai before, I never dared to think that he could score goals in two consecutive games! This is simply... unbelievable! Although I have experienced
It took nearly a month to adapt, but now it seems that the special training during this period is effective...it helped him quickly adapt to the Premier League!"
He Feng and Yan Kang each said their own words, their voices tangled together. They were too excited to coordinate with each other.
The scene in the studio was a bit chaotic, but this was indeed the most authentic reaction from two Chinese football supporters.
Not to mention the two of them, even the staff controlling the multi-channel signals in the broadcast room applauded and cheered for Hu Lai's goal.
The first goal in the first game gave everyone a feeling of "mission accomplished".
Some people even feel that even if Hu Lai doesn't score next, this one goal will be enough for them to brag about it for a long time.
With this thought, when they saw Hulay's second goal, they naturally didn't hold back.
Our top scorer in the Chinese Super League can also score consecutive goals in the Premier League!
And his goal was not based on illusory luck, but on real skills - Hulay's series of moves before this goal was his golden signature and his strength.
In front of the TV, Xie Lan couldn't help but shout "Hello".
After shouting, I remembered that my mother was still sleeping in the back room. Don’t wake her up with this voice...
So he quickly covered his mouth and stared at the TV screen with wide eyes.
Beside her, although the old father did not speak, he was patting his thigh.
The father and daughter seemed to feel something, they turned their heads at the same time and smiled at each other.

Leeds City players all ran towards Hulay who scored the goal, except for Falek Quinn.
He was stunned for a moment, and then fell to the back.
Seeing Hu Lai's small body, he reflexively thought that the opponent had no chance to play in the corner kick, but he did not expect that Hu Lai scored the final goal!
This little Chinese guy...
He originally thought that the club spent money to buy a water dispenser for the Chinese market.
Selling Lorraine just for such an image spokesperson... He could not agree with the club's approach anyway.
Are we going to avoid relegation, sell Lorraine, and only rely on captain Lorenzo to score goals?
He felt that the club’s senior management must have had some trouble in their minds.
Really, how can you do such an operation without water?
In order to make money from the Chinese market, they even lose face.
At that time, if the team is really unfortunate enough to be relegated from the Premier League, a lot of money will be lost.
Hence, since the Chinese player came to the team, Quinn has not given him any good looks. Even though he seems to be quite popular in the team now, Quinn has treated him with a cold face and talked with a stick.
He always wants to find trouble with Hu Lai and induce him to conflict with him, so that he can teach him a lesson.
At least you can give Lorraine some words, right?
That’s what Quinn thought.
It’s just that the boy is very cunning. No matter what he says, he always smiles...
So Quinn planned to sit on the sidelines and wait to see him hit a wall in the Premier League.
Then came his two goals in the Premier League...
So he’s not here to help sell jerseys?
By the time Quinn came to his senses, everyone had surrounded Hu Lai. He hesitated for a while, but ultimately failed to run up and join in the celebration. Instead, he chose to turn around and return to his position in the second half. He is the team's leader.
The left back, who has the furthest distance to return to his position, needs to leave early.
Quinn mentally explained his somewhat unsociable behavior in this way.

"Oh my god! Hu, when I saw you suddenly running out of the penalty area, I was still thinking why you did that. As a result...how did you know that Pete would pass the football?" witnessed it on the sideline.
Canroy exclaimed during the whole process of scoring the goal.
"Honestly, when I saw Charlie coming up, I thought he was going to shoot, but I didn't expect that he would miss it to Hu behind him... We have never practiced this corner kick tactic before!"
“That’s right, Charlie, that shot you missed was so beautiful! You even laid out the shooting action, but you were surprised to be able to hold it back!”
Charlie Potter laughed loudly: "I heard Hu calling me from behind, and I knew he must want me to pass the football to him, so I passed it!"
“Pete, you wanted to pass it to Hu from the beginning, right? I think your pass is quite powerful...”
Hu Lai smiled and said: "I said we have a tacit understanding!"
Pete Williams waved his hand quickly: "I wanted to pass it to Charlie, but I didn't expect that he missed it!"
Captain Lorenzo happily patted the heads of several young people: "Anyway, we scored! There are still fifteen minutes left in the game. Everyone, hang on and don't concede any more goals!"
The Leeds City players ended their celebration and turned around and ran back to their own half.

Amidst the huge noise and a whistle, the game continued to start.
Lancashire Bury, who had equalized the score, launched a fierce attack on Leeds City's goal after the game started.
This is their home court. As a team that also needs to avoid relegation, they certainly cannot accept the result of being tied by a relegation opponent at their home court.
Tony Clark saw the opponent's offensive getting more and more fierce off the court and made up his mind.
He walked to the sidelines and told the Leeds City players on the field through gestures:
We also attack!
Although this is an away game, it stands to reason that one point is enough. But Tony Clark is not that kind of person.
Leeds City, who had just equalized the score, were greatly boosted in morale, and at the same time, Burley were all out to take the lead again.
How can we justify not taking the opportunity to steal something at this time?
If it succeeds, you will make a lot of money!
What? What do you think we would do if we failed?
What do you do with so much?
Thinking about failure before you even do it is not Tony Clark’s style!
The Leeds City players on the field quickly received the latest instructions from the head coach.
“The boss wants us to fight against Burley!”
“Then attack them. Are we still afraid of the Lancashires?!”
Prompted by this mentality, Leeds City and Lancashire Bury started a battle.
Seeing that Leeds City did not withdraw its defense, but instead attacked and attacked Burley.
Burley fans in the stands booed loudly and screamed with excitement.
In their view, Leeds City is asking for death, which just gives them a chance to defeat Leeds City at home.

Xie Lan was looking anxiously in front of the TV. She couldn't help but ask her husband next to her: "Shouldn't we shrink the defense after the equalizer?"
She has watched the game with her husband for so long, and she understands some things to some extent. She no longer understands nothing like she did at the beginning, just watching the fun.
Now she can say something about the format of the competition.
“Logically speaking, it should be like this, to avoid conceding the ball again…” Hu Lixin explained. “But Leeds City’s head coach doesn’t seem to have that style… I think he prefers to gamble.”
“Gamble?”
“Well, it’s a big gamble. He still wants to win.” After Hu Lai decided to transfer to Leeds City, Hu Lixin went to study the Leeds City team’s performance this season.
He found that the team's ups and downs in performance actually had a lot to do with their head coach.
There are some games that, if you seek stability, you can at least get a draw and gain one point. However, head coach Tony Clark often chooses to attack boldly and strive to win.
In this way, before the opponent's goal is scored, one's own goal will be lost.
So the one point you got becomes zero points.
This is also one of the reasons why some Leeds City fans are dissatisfied with the new head coach.
When Lauren Galli coached Leeds City, the team's style was to play steadily and step by step. If the game could be won with a score of 1:0, then Galli would never take risks.
The result of this is that Leeds City cannot win when it encounters a team that cannot win, but fortunately it is not so easy to lose when it encounters evenly matched opponents.
After Tony Clark took charge, he changed the team's tactical thinking and style of play, and also injected a new style into the team. That is, if there is a chance and it is possible to defeat the opponent, then he will let the team try its best.
If the team is in good form and wins, it will get three points. If the team fails, it will not even get a guaranteed point.
In short, this is a coach who likes stud very much...
