Chapter 74 More attention(1/2)
Leeds United’s celebration lasted for a while and then ended.
When the young players filed into the locker room, Carson had a sudden thought.
"Guys, why don't we have another dinner together?" He stood in the center of the locker room, "Still at the Billy Bar!"
The young players, who had already experienced the taste after the last dinner together, were instantly moved by Carson's suggestion, and the locker room suddenly became noisy.
"What a great idea!"
"I applaud with both hands!"
"The mutton cooked by Li is excellent!"
Levi smiled bitterly and arched his bandaged left arm forward, "Actually, I also agree with Scott's suggestion, but I'm like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to cook."
"It's okay. I know that Li has taught the chef at Billy's Bar a lot of dishes. And although Li can't cook, he can still give guidance when the time comes."
It was Lennon who spoke out. As a roommate, he naturally knew more about Levi's part-time job situation.
Li Wei covered his forehead speechlessly, Alang, do you have to tear down your roommate?
In the excitement of the crowd, he had no choice but to agree.
Alas, these players are still too young to know the importance. If Eddie were here, I'm afraid they would be stopped from using Levi's injured number.
However, Levi didn't really care about the dinner party. After all, as Lennon said, he didn't have to do it himself, he could just give some directions.
At this time, what he was thinking about was more about another person he wanted to express his gratitude to.
Without Gu Xiaohan's guidance, he might not have had the opportunity to play this time. Of course, this is what he thought.
It's a pity that she can't be invited to this kind of private player dinner. Due to my injury, I guess I won't be able to cook in a short time, so I will have to wait for a while.
※※※※※※
It was already evening when we returned to Leeds from Manchester. Naturally, the young players went back to their respective homes and looked for their respective mothers.
But Levi still had no time to spare. Erwin, the team doctor with a strong sense of responsibility, took him directly to the treatment room for a detailed examination before letting him go home.
When they got home, both roommates had already gone to bed. Levi hurriedly washed up and went to bed, but his mind still couldn't calm down.
It wasn't because he was worried about the injury. Although Erwin's solemn expression during the examination gave him some bad premonitions, in that situation, even if it happened again, he would not be able to change his choice.
He doesn't want to sit on the sidelines and watch the team lose.
He has already experienced that feeling of powerlessness, and he doesn't want to experience it again.
At this moment, what he was thinking about was the system he often complained about.
Although he always complains a lot about the system, he has to admit that this victory, or even the gradual growth in the second half of the season, is probably half due to the first two rewards of the system.
Without Zhao Junzhe's basic skills and awareness, he would not have known that his debut in the youth team would have to wait until the end of the year; and without training against Messi, he would not have been able to face a counterattack player like Richardson with ease.
; Of course, the biggest help is Mikel’s ball-protecting skills. Leeds United’s equalizing goal in this game was thanks to him.
He began to have higher expectations for the system. If one day he could learn the whole world from the system, no, it should be the stunts of all the superstars in history, what kind of legend would that be?
If one person can combine Ronaldinho's skills, Miha's footwork, Messi's combination of man and ball, Cristiano Ronaldo's header, Zizou's vision, Rui Costa's passing, and Inzaghi's running
Position, Makelele’s blocking position, Baresi’s prediction, oh, I can’t even think about it!
Of course, this is just a fantasy. People's energy is limited after all. Even if the system really offers so many rewards, it is impossible for Levi to really cover everything.
But at the very least, Levi has begun to pay attention to the system.
But in this broken system, when you don't count on him, you can still be a little surprised; when you count on him, you don't even give a shit. He originally thought that by reaching the FA Youth Cup final, he would get at least one mission opportunity, but
But this guy is even colder than the goddess, and he doesn't even say "haha" to him.
How can I trigger the next mission?
Levi has a headache.
With resentment against the system, he fell asleep. However, when he was already asleep and unconscious, a chuckle seemed to come from his mind.
If he was still awake, he might be able to hear it, it seemed like "hehe"...
※※※※※※
Leeds United's entry into the FA Youth Cup final is of course a major event worthy of celebration for the young players of the youth team. Their dinner at Billy's Bar was naturally a feast for the guests and the host, so it goes without saying.<
/p>
However, youth team games, even key events such as the FA Youth Cup semi-finals, really cannot make any waves in English football. It is impossible for Levi to become a household star just because of this game.<
/p>
But this game finally won him more attention.
In addition to the increase in the number of fans coming to Sopuak every day, some fans who originally only came to Lennon and others for autographs now also come to take photos with Levi.
Of course, Levi was not sure whether it was because of that game or because he, an Oriental, looked too special here.
In addition, some changes that Levi cannot yet see are also happening quietly.
Yan Ruo is a reporter, editor, translator, office director, cleaner, and... In short, he is the only one on this site.
Compared with large publications such as "Sports Weekly" and "Football Weekly" that have permanent sites or special writers all over the UK, "Football Half Moon Talk" is a small magazine that is not well-known even in China.
The power in the UK can be said to be so weak that it can be ignored.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Therefore, it is impossible for Yan Ruo to get any exclusive news at ordinary times, so he can only pick up some leftovers behind the two major newspapers, or else he can be a second-rate dealer, translating news reported locally in the UK into Chinese and sending it to the country.
p>
For this young man who is less than thirty years old, his five years in the UK may be completely wasted. When he first arrived in the UK, he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to occupy a place in Fleet Street. Although he
There is only one person, but he still travels around the scene all day long, and his footprints are almost all over the major stadiums in England.
However, he soon discovered that apart from buying tickets to watch the game live without any obstruction, it was impossible to conduct exclusive interviews with players and coaches. He could not even squeeze in to the press conference of a big club.
.
For the English football world, someone like him, who comes from a weak football country and is a reporter for an obscure newspaper in a weak football country, is like a pebble thrown into the sea, unable to make waves, and no one will take notice of him.
One glance.
Gradually, after running into obstacles everywhere, Yan Ruo stopped doing those useless tasks.
When a wave of Chinese players such as Sun Jihai and Li Zhi joined the Premier League, Yan Ruo originally thought it was time to turn around, but he did not expect that these stars had exclusive reporters when they were in China, and this time they also came to the UK.
And these reporters also regard Sun Jihai and Li Zhi as rare commodities that they can live in. Perhaps foreign reporters can still come and welcome them. After all, they can only rely on them to promote their international reputation, but their attitude towards their compatriots at home is quite
It’s too bad. Guys like Yan Ruo are not allowed to get involved.
This blow also made Yan Ruo completely despair about his journalistic career in England.
Originally, he was from a well-off family. A small magazine like "Football Half-Moon Talk" did not have the financial resources to support setting up a website in the UK. It was Yan Ruo who invested a lot of his own wealth in pursuit of his dream to get this permanent website.
Opportunity.
But after so many years, he has been unable to make ends meet for a long time, and finally reached the point where he could no longer support himself.
On this day, Yan Ruo was packing up the things he was going to take back home. His office was already in a mess, with various newspapers and magazines piled up everywhere, some of which were even yellowed. It was obvious that Yan Ruo had not taken care of things for a long time.<
/p>
He originally planned to throw away this pile of garbage today, but when he picked up a stack of old newspapers, one fell out.
He was about to pick it up when he saw a picture in the lower left corner of the newspaper.
That was probably the perspective of the camera behind the goal. The picture was frozen at the moment when a young player with yellow skin and black hair wearing a white jersey jumped up high and hit the ball hard with a tomahawk-like posture.
p>
Yan Ruo was a little surprised. Although he only took a glance, he was convinced that this was an Asian player he had never seen in the Premier League. He just didn't know if he was Chinese, Japanese, or Korean?
He picked up the newspaper, which was a "Manchester Evening News" with yesterday's date. This was not surprising, as his subscription to major newspapers in England did not expire until the end of this year.
So even though the place was as messy as a chicken coop, the newspaper delivery person still delivered it diligently, but Yan Ruo had no intention of looking at it carefully, and all was thrown into this pile of garbage.
Yan Ruo found the report next to the picture and read it carefully:
"In the second leg of the FA Youth Cup semi-finals yesterday afternoon, the Leeds United youth team defeated the Manchester United youth team 2-1 and successfully advanced to the final with a total score of 5-4 over the two legs..."
"...The supernova in the Leeds United youth team, who just joined the team at the beginning of this year, the 16-year-old Chinese player Wei Li scored the winning goal and instigated the first goal.
The number one contributor to Leeds United's victory in every game..."
"The picture shows the shot of Wei Li scoring the winning goal."
"...The first leg of this season's FA Youth Cup final will be held at the Riverside Stadium on the 17th of this month."
Wei Li?Li Wei?
Yan Ruo didn't know whether the report introduced names according to Chinese or Western customs, so he wasn't sure about the little guy's name. Of course, the name Li Wei was probably more likely, but he couldn't rule it out.
Maybe the surname is Wei.
But one thing he is absolutely sure of is that this is a name that he has never heard of before. No, it should be a name that all Chinese sports media have never heard of.
Although he has made up his mind to return to China, he is still very confident in his professional field: he has never heard of this name, which means that no well-known sports newspapers have reported on this little guy.
To be continued...
