Chapter 717 Don’t bully young people into poverty
Kamara sat upright in the back seat of the Renault, staring out the window. When he saw the facade and roof of the Flanders Stadium appearing on the roadside, he patted the back of the front driver's seat. : "Archie, be careful to slow down when you turn around."
Then he rolled down half of the window so that people outside the car could see half of his face.
But not so much that his face was exposed, as if he was eager for others to know that he was sitting in the car.
Then he took out his sunglasses and put them on his face.
After doing all this, he leaned back on the back of the seat and tried hard to express the cool, handsome and charming expression and posture he imagined.
Soon the car turned onto the road leading to the training base.
From the intersection of this road to the gate of the training base, there are some people who obviously look like fans scattered along the roadside for tens of meters.
In addition to them, there are also some media reporters waiting with cameras.
Kamara tried hard to maintain a calm expression when she saw this, but her eyes hidden by her sunglasses couldn't help but glance out of the car to observe the movements of the fans.
As soon as they discovered him and showed intention to come up, he would immediately put down the window glass...
Sure enough, fans soon noticed Kamara in the car, and even though he was wearing sunglasses, he was still recognized.
Immediately, two fans came closer excitedly.
"Archie," Kamala whispered.
Fataki slowed down the car again so that the two fans could get closer.
Kamara lowered the window glass again and turned to look at the two fans.
"It's Kamara!" The fans who came closer finally confirmed it and they exclaimed.
Then he raised his mobile phone: "Kamala, can I take a photo with you?"
Kamala can now understand some simple English. Besides, the other person has a mobile phone in his hand, so it’s very clear what it means.
So he nodded, took off his sunglasses, and put his face close to her, so that the other person would be in the same frame as him outside the car.
After the fan's companion used his mobile phone to take a photo of the two of them, he exchanged the mobile phone and asked him to do it again.
After taking a group photo, the two each asked Kamala for an autograph.
"Thank you Kamara, your performance in yesterday's game was great! Come on! I believe you can succeed in the Premier League!"
The two fans whose demands were met happily praised Kamara for being so obedient and asking for no money.
"Thank you. Thank you." Kamara maintained his reserve as a star and nodded and smiled at them in thanks.
Then Fataki continued to drive forward slowly, and the distance of several dozen meters seemed to take him half an hour...
At this moment, Kamara noticed that the fans on the roadside were running, and the fans at the gate in front were also running towards him!
Kamala is excited!
Is your popularity so terrifying?
"Stop the car, Archie!"
The slowly moving car pulled over completely.
Kamara had a reserved smile on her face, waiting for the moment when she would be surrounded by fans.
But these fans ran straight past their car without even looking at Kamara in the back seat.
"What...what's going on?" Kamala was surprised.
Fataki in front glanced at the rearview mirror, and then said: "Brother, look back..."
Kamala turned around and looked back and found a car parked on the side of the road about ten meters behind their car.
A man got out of the car and was taking photos with the fans who gathered around him...
It's Hu Lai!
Kamala stared at this scene blankly.
He was extremely upset:
Why didn’t I think of getting off the car?
※※※
When he came to training the next day, Kamara asked Fataki to stop the car before turning into the intersection. He got out of the car, put on his backpack, and waved to Fataki in a farewell gesture.
Then a man turned around and turned onto the road leading to the training base.
Archie Fataki, who was in the driver's seat, looked at the figure walking towards the fans and shook his head with a smile.
Then he drove away.
Fans on the roadside quickly noticed Kamara walking to practice.
To be honest, apart from the young players who have just been transferred from the youth team to the first team, there are probably no other Leeds City players who come to training.
After discovering it was Kamara, more fans gathered this time and asked Kamara for autographs and photos.
Let him enjoy the feeling of a big star.
Just when he was feeling proud of his decision today, a car passed them, slowed down and finally stopped on the side of the road.
The Leeds City fans who originally surrounded Kamara cheered and turned and ran up, shouting: "Hu! It's Hu!"
Some fans ran to Hu Lai's car and did one of his signature celebration moves: "HUUUUU!!"
It made Hu Lai, who had just got off the car, laugh.
Most of the fans who had been surrounding Kamara suddenly disappeared, and Kamara grinned.
Still not working...the popularity is too different.
After satisfying the requests of the last few fans around him, Kamara walked around with a backpack on his back.
But he was stopped by Hu Lai.
"Hey, Ismail? Why... didn't you take the car?"
he asked in French while fielding fans' requests for photos and autographs.
"Ah, I...my car broke down..." Kamala made a random excuse.
"Really? How about you take my car tomorrow?" Hu Lai asked with concern.
"No, no need... Archie... my agent has already gone to fix it. It's a small problem. You're busy, I'll leave first..." After saying that, Kamala left quickly, leaving the large group of people behind. behind.
He finally understood why Hu Lai could ask people if they wanted an autograph.
People are really so popular here...
Kamala could only encourage herself in her heart: Come on, Ismail! You can do this too in the future!
※※※
With a whistle, Kamara rushed out, quickly dodging left and right through the gaps between several sign poles.
After rushing out of the sign pole, he listened to the coach's voice prompts, immediately braked and turned sharply to the left, then jumped over a low obstacle, landed and jumped over the second obstacle in reverse.
"Straight dash!"
Kamara rushed to the next change point in two steps, turned around the green sign pole, sprinted in a straight line again in front of a red sign pole, stopped suddenly, turned around and rushed towards the first corner cone.
Using the pyramid as a turning mark, he stopped suddenly and returned to the red sign pole, and continued his sprint. This time he rushed to the second pyramid before turning back...
After turning back four times in a row like this, he sprinted another fifteen meters in one breath, ran to the blue sign pole and rushed back in a circle. He went back the same way and did all the actions he had just done.
After rushing back to the starting line, assistant coach Sam Landill also pressed the stopwatch in his hand, and then praised with an approving tone: "Not bad, Kamara. Your time is faster again."
Hearing the coach's praise, a smile appeared on the face of the panting Kamara.
Looking at the smiling Kamara, Clark nodded and decided to let him continue to start in the next home game against the defending champion.
※※※
On Saturday, August 16th, Leeds City played their first home game of the season against the powerful Stan Park Rangers.
Last season's league champion is currently ranked third after one league round.
Leeds City are just one place below them, ranked fourth.
Both teams won the first round of the league and had the same goal difference, the same three goal difference. However, Stan Park Rangers scored one more goal than Leeds City, ranking above Leeds City with the advantage of total goals.
This does not mean that Leeds City and Stan Park Rangers are teams of the same level.
In the game, Kamara, who performed well in the last game, encountered the tight defense of Stan Park Rangers.
His speed advantage and technical advantage cannot be fully utilized in the opponent's defensive system.
In particular, he met Johnson Law, the main right back of the England national team.
This England's main right back is fast, experienced, and capable of both offense and defense. He can be ranked among the top five right backs in the entire world of football.
Young Kamala looked too immature in front of him.
In terms of absolute speed, Johnson Law may not be as good as Kamara. But a football match is not just about running. People will use their rich experience to make it impossible for Kamara to rush forward at all.
Coupled with accurate, decisive and ruthless tackles, Kamara played very hard against Law.
Although he played very hard against Burley in the last game, the hard work cannot be compared to now. The former is like the necessary fun for you to pass the game. No matter how difficult it is, players can always overcome these difficulties. When you pass the level, these difficulties become part of the player's game achievements, making players always look back on them with shame. With a smile.
But compared with the hard work of Stan Park Ranger, that is, a first-level blank slate player who has just been born. Facing the top BOSS, no matter how you try to change your strategy or how to run over again and again, it is absolutely impossible. Defeating the opponent will only result in being killed instantly. This kind of hard work is meaningless and seriously affects the game experience. Even people who like to abuse themselves will not be happy to play games like this.
Facing Johnson Law, Ismael Kamara fell behind in all aspects and had no choice.
After being shoveled out of the sideline by Law with a flying kick, the referee did not call Johnson Law a foul.
Because the latter did not commit a foul.
Law stood up and reached out to Kamara with a smile on his face, as if saying: "Welcome to the Premier League."
Kamala raised her head and saw him like this, but instead of holding his hand, she gritted her teeth and got up from the ground.
Seeing his unfriendly look, Lao didn't take it seriously. Instead, he smiled, then shook his head and backed away.
※※※
Kamara, who failed to perform as he did in the last game after playing 65 minutes, was replaced by head coach Tony Clark.
After being substituted, he lowered his head and looked very frustrated and unhappy.
When he returned to the bench, he took off his sneakers and slammed them on the ground in front of him.
He could only vent his unwillingness in this way.
Kamara's inability to face Johnson Law is a microcosm of the situation between the two teams in this game.
Leeds City, playing at home, was almost unable to resist when facing the defending champion.
In the end we lost 0:2.
Back in the locker room after the game, Kamara looked frustrated.
Peter Williams comforted him: "The loss is not your responsibility alone, Ismail. There is still a big gap in strength between us and the defending champion, and it cannot be made up by one person..."
Both he and Hu Lai worked hard in this game, but they still couldn't do anything against Stan Park Rangers.
Hulay shot a total of five times in this game, three of which were on target. As a result, all three shots were blocked by Stan Park Rangers goalkeeper Victor Lemos.
As the main goalkeeper of the Brazilian national team, the 27-year-old Lemos is definitely not a cat or a dog. Standing 1.89 meters tall, he has a slender figure and an excellent wingspan. He can easily resolve some balls that seem difficult to save by simply stretching his arms.
The same was true for Pete Williams, who was marked by Stan Park Rangers midfielder Harry Bogard in midfield and was unable to perform to his best ability.
Although Pete Williams, as a young rookie trained by Leeds City, may be selected for the England national team, he encountered in this game the double captain of Stan Park Rangers and the England national team. The famous "tough guy" in English football, an all-around midfielder with a strong fighting spirit, never tired and a tenacious style.
In front of Bogarde, Williams is still too immature.
It can be said that the Leeds City team is completely suppressed by the defending champion no matter where they are. Even if they have home field advantage, there is no room for improvement.
In fact, Williams didn't need to say anything, Kamara could see it, but he was still dissatisfied with his performance.
Facing Williams' comfort, he clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth in French: "I will work harder. Next time, I will make that guy look good! I swear!"
Williams looked at Hu Lai next to him, meaning: What did he say?
Hu Lai spread his hands:
"Thirtyyearsineastoftheriver,thirtyyearsinwestoftheriver.Don'tbullyyoungpeoplebecauseheispoor." Williams:? ? ?
