Chapter 718 still lacks the beating of the Premier League
The team resumed training the next day. Archie Fataki, who drove Kamara to training, asked him when he was about to arrive at the training base: "Brother, do you still need to get off the car and walk over in advance?"
Kamala, who was sitting in the back row, shook her head: "No, no need, Archie. I won't need it anymore..."
Fataki looked up at Kamala in the rearview mirror.
After this kid played, he still wanted to show off, but now he is so honest...
Of course he knew why.
The failure of Stan Park Rangers hit him hard, making him feel that what he did the past few days was simply childish and ridiculous.
Fataki has already persuaded him. Leeds City's opponent is the defending champion, and Johnson Law, who he plays against in the game, is the main right back of the England national team and has extraordinary strength.
Whether it is a team or an individual, losing to an opponent is normal.
But Kamala doesn’t see it that way.
He believes that if he loses, he loses, and there are no excuses or reasons.
He will not look for objective reasons to comfort himself. He thinks that is self-deception.
Faced with the stubborn Kamala, Fataki had no choice.
No one wants to lose a game, but professional players must also learn to face failure, whether they want to or not.
Otherwise they won't be able to move on.
After all, a professional player's career must have more than one failure. If you lose a game and you have to live or die, then it is basically impossible to become a successful professional player.
It's just that everyone's attitude towards failure and how to deal with failure are different.
Just after the game is the most painful time for the players, the atmosphere in the locker room will be relatively solemn at this moment.
The music that used to play after winning a game disappeared, and most people lowered their heads and changed clothes silently, not talking much. Even if someone wants to make a sound, they have to be careful.
After returning home, some players choose to use indulgent entertainment to make themselves forget the pain of failure - playing games, clubbing, having sex with their lover, spending money to find a "lover" if they don't have a lover or their lover is not around...< br>
Some players will lock themselves in a room alone and choose solitude and silence to help themselves calm down.
Some people will try to find positivity from negativity and try to make themselves think in a good direction - "We only lost two goals and didn't concede more goals, which is not bad." "After all, they are the defending champions, and their strengths are different. It’s so big, there’s nothing we can do about losing. “No one wants to lose, but losing to the defending champion is better than losing to a relegation competitor like Burley, right?”
Others choose to be numb, turn around and forget about the failure, as if the loss never happened.
There are also people who are irritated by failure and resent it.
Now it seems that Kamala should belong to this last category of people.

After finishing today's recovery training, the coaching staff came to the coffee break room to drink tea and snacks while discussing the situation.
"How's Kamara doing today?" Tony Clark first asked strength and conditioning coach Anthony Clement.
"That kid...seems like he hasn't recovered from yesterday's loss. He was making ping-pong noises with every piece of equipment he practiced in the gym, as if these training machines had a grudge against him." Clay Mentor recounted what he observed in the gym.
"Well..." After listening to Clement's introduction, Clark fell into deep thought.
Assistant coach Sam Landill said from the side: "In the next game against Abion, should we simply not let him start? Tell him to take a rest and reduce his pressure..."
But Clark shook his head and said: "No, let him start the next game."
Randall looked at Clark with wide eyes: "Tony, I don't think this is a good idea. After yesterday's game, I believe Abion's head coach Schiri must know how to deal with Kamara—— As long as the space for him to get the ball is compressed and he is tougher when defending him, the card will be blocked. Mara is stuck in the quagmire... He plays football too much. Although sometimes it is very entertaining, most of the time it does not have much effect other than irritating the opponent. This is his fatal weakness, if it does not change. , his future achievements may not be high.”
Randall seemed to be biased against Kamala, but what he said was true. Everyone present, even Matt Dawn, who originally recommended Kamala to Clark, admitted that Randall was right. right.
Kamara lacks the guidance of formal professional football training and still has a strong street football style.
Perhaps there is no problem in a low-level league like France C.
But in the Premier League, where the competition is more intense and the pace is faster, it will immediately become a big problem.
In fact, just after signing Kamara, there was a big discussion about him in the coffee room.
At that time, Randyll held the view just now, believing that if Kamara did not change, the future would be a dead end and the Premier League was definitely not suitable for him.
Two months later, his views remain unchanged.
Because Kamala hasn’t changed either.
He played well in the first league game, which covered up the problem to some extent, but the problem is still there and has not been solved, it is just invisible for the time being.
Clark laughed after listening to Randhir's words, and then asked Randall: "Sam, you ran to him and said: Sooner or later, if you keep playing like this, you will be finished. So you have to change your playing style - do you think Will that kid listen? ”
Randhir frowned, Clark was on to the point.
Kamara has been training with the team for almost two months. Head coach Clark also reminded Kamara and asked him to slightly change his way of playing that is too sticky and too fancy, but it has no effect.
This kid is very stubborn and has his own ideas. At the same time, it seems difficult to listen to other people's opinions.
This may be related to the environment in which he grew up in the past and the attitude of others towards him in the past.
"For Kamara now, he wants to achieve results as soon as possible, and his excellent foot skills are his most proud ability. And now you ask him to destroy his most proud ability, Then he will think: Are you kidding? What I am good at is gone, so how can I play? "
Clark spread his hands and continued to explain: "So now I have figured it out. Instead of us telling him, it is better for him to go to the stadium to see the real Premier League and what the real top league is like. When he really realizes Only when his own problems have to be corrected can he truly transform.”
"Then what if he still doesn't realize it, or he realizes it but is unwilling to change it?" Randhir asked rhetorically.
This time Clark didn't speak, and Matt Down next to him said: "Then we will only lose 300,000 pounds. Then we will continue to look for players suitable for our team in the transfer market."
< br>
Randhir was speechless.
Clark ended the topic: "Okay. That's enough about Kamara, let's talk about Adams. How is he adapting to the new position?"
Randall opened the tablet, found Jay Adams' training performance report from it, and reported to Clark: "Overall, it's getting better, but Adams has some opinions about the new position. He doesn't think he is just a simple person." A defensive engineer. He talked to me and said that he can actually take advantage of his excellent overall view and awareness and add a ball release point in the midfielder position. This can also free up Williams so that he no longer has to retreat frequently. , able to concentrate on organizing the offense..."
Clark nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "As expected, he was considered the core midfielder of England and London Bridge for the next twenty years. In fact, I also have this plan. I originally wanted to ask his opinion, but now I can save this step... ...But this requires a lot of his personal ability, and he has to improve his long-passing ability.”
Randhir lowered his head and recorded on the tablet: "I will increase the proportion of his long passing training."
"Where is Hu Lai? How is his long-range shooting?"
"His leg muscle strength has increased significantly, so he has the strength foundation for long-range shots." Physical coach Clement came out to answer head coach Clark's question. "In addition, due to the increased strength of his leg muscles, his speed and jumping ability have also improved..."
Randhir added: "The problem now is Hulay's own consciousness - he is still used to getting into the penalty area, trying to get as close to the goal and then shooting. We need to change his thoughts and habits."
"Ah, it takes time for players to get used to preferences..." Matt Dawn said next to him.
Clark waved his hand: "That's okay, we are not in a hurry in this regard. I have always felt that the saying that he will be thoroughly studied in the second year is a common misunderstanding. Guys, to be honest, you think Hu Lai is a difficult person to study. ”
He asked the question, everyone looked at each other, and then Randhir answered: "I don't think so. His characteristics are very single, everyone knows it."
Clark smiled and said: "Yes, that's it. Hu Lai is a player with a single characteristic and obvious advantages and disadvantages. Anyone who knows a little bit about penalty kicks can see it, so I don't believe the head coaches of those Premier League teams. We still need to spend another season studying him. But the question is, is Hu Lai the kind of player who can be guarded by people who have studied him thoroughly?"
Matt laughed out loud when he heard Clark ask. He knew what Clark was going to say.
Randhir also looked surprised.
Tony is right!
Hulay is a player who is best at shooting and can only shoot.
Everyone knows this, there is no secret.
In the first round of the league, Burley's head coach O'Drisco made defensive arrangements for Hulay and strengthened his defense.
But was it defended in the end?
As long as Hulay enters the penalty area, Burley's center back William Barton will not leave him.
Didn't he still score two goals?
What does this mean?
It shows that Hu Lai is the kind of player who you know what he will do and you know how to guard against him, but this does not mean that you will definitely be able to guard against him.
When arranging tactical theory, we can say it clearly and logically, we want to do this, then we will do that, and finally we can do this and that...
But in actual games, the players who execute tactics are not pre-programmed robots, but living people with emotions and desires.
Human beings can make mistakes.
Hu Lai is the player who is best at catching his opponent's mistakes.
How do you think you can guard against such a person?
That's why Clark said he wasn't worried about Hu Lai.
Hu Lai didn't score against Stan Park Rangers, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Hu Lai. Just give him enough trust.
He and Leeds City both have plenty of time.
Hu Lai joined midway through last season and performed so well without having any time to integrate with the team.
It makes no sense that Hu Lai, who has been with the team since training at the beginning of the season, did not perform as well as last season when he trained with everyone.
If that were the case... Tony Clark wouldn't think that Hu Lai had encountered the "rookie wall", but that he was too incompetent as a head coach!

PS, statement:
The English part yesterday was really not because of my poor English skills... although my English skills are indeed not very good.
But the reason why he wrote such an English language that was obviously full of mistakes was to reflect Hu Lai's weirdness.
At first I wanted to write directly in Chinese "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty", but I didn't think it would be interesting to write it like this. Who knows what kind of English he spoke to Williams? After all, this is what I meant after translating and processing it.
So I thought why not let Hu Lai directly translate this famous line into English without paying attention to grammar?
Wouldn't it have more comedic effect?
When he literally translated that sentence in English, Williams was filled with questions...
So don’t say that I just used the translation results of a web page to make up the numbers.
Even when using translation software, I changed it several times before finally coming up with this version. (End of chapter)
