Chapter 719: Worried about the naughty child
"... Clark still started Kamara today, even though his performance in the last game was very poor. However, his outstanding performance in the first round of the league was still impressive, and the team coach was willing to give more Opportunity... But Kamara still seems to have not found his form today... Abion was not polite to his defense at all, and his movements were very big, but this is the standard of the Premier League, and he must learn to adapt to this as soon as possible... "Matthew Cox is commentating on the game between Leeds City and Abion.
Kamara continued to start in this game, and it was obvious that he had high hopes from head coach Clark.
But his performance was not worthy of the head coach's trust.
What he was good at was completely ineffective in the face of Abion's fierce and targeted defense.
Because his side's offense couldn't be played, it affected the team's overall offense.
Leeds City is now clearly one goal ahead, but the situation looks very dangerous.
After Abion withstood Leeds City's attack, they began to step up their offensive in an attempt to equalize the score.
"With the ball just now, if Kamara could pass the football to Quinn in time instead of making a few more fancy moves, Leeds City's offense might have been able to hit the center directly from the side... ...But it's a pity. He had a little more time here, and the overall rhythm of Leeds City's offense was slowed down..."
"You're still young... After his good performance in the first round, he seemed a little complacent. You must know that his excellent performance in the first round had a lot to do with the fact that Burley didn't understand him and didn't pay attention to him. It's not that he just It’s really time to reach the Premier League.”
Two CCTV commentators also expressed their opinions on Kamara's performance.
After watching the first round of the league, they all hope that Kamara can continue to perform like that. After all, that way you can give Hu Lai more assists and allow Hu Lai to score more goals.
But Kamara's subsequent performance disappointed them.

"Get ready for a substitution, Sam."
After hearing Clark's words, Randhir nodded, ran to the warm-up area, and called Joe Taylor back who was warming up.
Then Kamara was replaced.
When he came off the field and sat back on the bench, he glanced at the big screen.
Fifty-eighth minute of the game...
He was substituted seven minutes earlier than he was substituted in the previous game.
what does that mean?
Kamala is stubborn, but not stupid.
He knows the coach's patience with him is growing thin.
Maybe it was because he was the one who asked me to come, so I braced myself, believed in myself, and kept giving myself opportunities.
He has played three games since the beginning of the new season, and he has started in all of them.
This kind of treatment is simply unheard of for a former French C player who has never played in the top league before.
If it wasn't impossible, he might have believed that he was the boss's illegitimate son...
But no matter how much patience you have, it will slowly be worn away.
If he still can't put in a decent performance, I'm afraid the starting lineup will have to say goodbye to him completely. By then it will be considered good if he can appear on the bench in every game...
Kamara, who was sitting on the bench, clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
※※※
Hu Lai on the field saw Kamara sitting on the bench with his head bowed, shook his head slightly and sighed in his heart.
In the first league game, he used [Spirit Card] on both Pete Williams and Kamara. The first game also really played a huge role.
However, in the second game, Stan Park Rangers' strong strength made the two [Spirit Cards] completely useless.
He originally thought that in this third game against Abion, who was not too strong, the [Lingxi Card] on Kamala would be able to function normally, right?
No, there isn't.
Kamala's condition continues to be sluggish, and even [Lingxi Card] cannot save her.
Fortunately, this was not the first time Hu Lai had encountered this situation, otherwise he would have really suspected that there was something wrong with the system.
At the previous Olympic Games, the Chinese team reached the knockout stage and met the host Spanish Olympic team.
At that time, Hu Lai spent all his points in exchange for a few [Lingxi Cards] for his teammates to use.
But even so, the Chinese Olympic team, which was already at the end of its strength at the time, still failed to defeat the Spanish Olympic team and was eliminated from the competition.
Precisely because of the experience of the previous Olympic team, Hu Lai is completely able to accept that Kamara has no performance in two consecutive games with the help of [Lingxi Card].
After all, the system props are just an auxiliary, and it is the players themselves who ultimately play the decisive role.
Otherwise, why doesn't the system just set the price of the [World Wave Experience Card] to 1,000 points to exchange for one? He can shoot all the World Waves in one game. Even if this card is not guaranteed to score a goal, after so many attempts, there can always be a few wonderful world wave goals, right?
To put it bluntly, the system does not want to make success come too easily and does not want Hu Lai to win on his own. If you want to succeed, how can you do it without putting in your own efforts?
It’s just that the system can give you another push based on your preparation to help you better utilize the results of your usual training.
Kamala's problem now is that he's not ready yet...
Hu Lai shook his head slightly.
Kamara's performance was not as good as expected, which indeed affected his progress in completing the task, but this did not become a reason for Hulay to stop.
He also scored eleven goals in fifteen league games last season without Kamara.
Wouldn't he have scored without Kamara this season?
You have to go in when you have to.
※※※
In the 71st minute, Abion's continuous attack on Leeds City's penalty area finally came to an end.
They still failed to break through Leeds City's goal. The score was 0:1. Abion, who played at home, was temporarily one goal behind.
After withstanding Abion's continuous offensive, Leeds City also began to counterattack.
They did not relax just because the lead was theirs - in Tony Clark's tactical thinking, a one-goal lead was not a lead at all.
You have to keep scoring goals and keep attacking.
Pete Williams moved to the left wing, taking on Kamara's previous role.
Although his speed is not as sharp as Kamara, his breakthrough ability is not weak, at least better than Zhang Qinghuan...
After Williams got the ball on the wing, he pretended to do a one-two with Quinn who hit the wall after covering the wing. After Quinn pulled the defensive player away, he suddenly broke through from the ribs and penetrated into Abion's penalty area.
Facing the Abion players who rushed forward in a hurry, he swept the football towards the center with one kick.
Hu Lai, who was ambushing at the back point, suddenly changed direction and went forward. He got stuck in front of the Abien center back and stretched out his foot to block the football and blocked it into the goal!
"Hu——Great goal!! He helped Leeds City expand its lead! 2:0!"
"Hulay Hulay...Hulay is here again! The third goal in the league! Although Kamara is in poor condition, it does not affect Hulay's continued scoring! Three goals in three league games, an average of one per game Ball, terrifyingly efficient! ”
※※※
"HUUUUUU!!!"
Even in the away game, you can clearly hear the shouts of more than a thousand Leeds City fans traveling with the team at this time.
The moment Hulay scored, Kamara and other teammates jumped up from their seats and cheered for the goal.
It's all a conditioned reflex.
But now his teammates around him are still celebrating the goal, but he has stopped and stood there looking at that figure.
The man scored again.
Even without your own help.
So actually he doesn’t need his own...
The first round of the league was like a dream. He had a wonderful dream.
But now it is just waking up from a dream.
Everyone was celebrating, but Kamala felt that the cheers had become hollow.
It's hard to tell whether it's reality or fantasy.
※※※
With Hulay's goal in front of the goal, Leeds City finally defeated Abion 2:0 away from home and won their second victory of the season.
Although they lost to Stan Park Rangers at home in the last round, considering the strength gap between the two teams, no one actually took that defeat too seriously.
Kamara has performed poorly in two consecutive games, and in the context of the team's two wins in three rounds, it seems less important.
There was not as much criticism of Kamala in the media and online as Achie Fataki imagined.
Leeds City fans are happy about Leeds City's current position in the league - after three rounds of the league, Leeds City has two wins and one loss, with six points, relying on the advantage of goals to surpass the same two wins and one. Warship Harbor, which has a negative score of six points, is actually ranked third behind Stan Park Rangers and Manchester Athletic!
Not to mention last season, when "Daddy" Lauren Galli led the team last season, Leeds City did not appear in such a high position, even if it was only temporarily...
In fact, all Leeds City fans know that by the end of the season, they will 100% not be able to stay in this position. But that doesn't stop them from being happy with the team's ranking now.
After the start of the new season, Leeds City has indeed undergone many welcome changes compared with last season.
The entire team is more in line with Tony Clark's tactics. The players on the field understand what the coach asks them to do and how to do it.
This is much better than the chaotic situation last season where the players did not understand the head coach's tactics and the head coach's tactics lacked the right people to implement them.
The number of Leeds City fans who miss Lauren Galli is slowly dwindling these days. They may still miss "Dad", but they are only grateful for his contribution in bringing the team to the Premier League in the past, and do not want him to return to the coaching bench of Leeds City again.
Clark is taking care of him well now, what will he do in exchange for it?
If the team can maintain this momentum, they may not have to wait until there are two rounds left in the league to successfully avoid relegation...
※※※
After returning to Leeds with the victory, everyone said goodbye at the training base and drove away in their own cars.
Hu Lai and Kamala got off the bus and waited directly on the roadside for their respective agents to pick them up.
He noticed that Kamara was in a very low mood from the end of the game to the time he came back. While his teammates in the car were singing and dancing to celebrate the victory, he huddled in his seat and played with his mobile phone.
It made him feel as if the kid was back to where he was before Pete Williams invited him to dinner.
This is not a good sign.
Thinking of this, he comforted Kamala: "Don't worry, Ismail, every newcomer has this stage. He performs well at the beginning, then not so well. This kind of ups and downs is normal..."
Kamara turned around and asked: "But Hu, you scored five goals in three consecutive games when you came to this team."
"Uh..." Hu Lai also felt that he did not have the position to say those words to Kamala.
At this moment, a Renault car stopped next to Kamala. He opened the door and waved to Hu Lai: "Thank you, Hu. Goodbye."
After saying that, he got into the car and left the training base.
Hu Lai frowned as he looked at the car going away, and said to himself: "But I didn't even enter the competition roster for a full month..."
"Hey, Hu."
Hu Lai turned to look at Pete Williams sticking his head out of the car: "What are you doing, Pete?"
"What did you and Ismail talk about?"
"It's nothing, I tried to comfort him...but it didn't seem to work."
"Did you also notice something strange about him? I came to you just to ask you to come with me to help him out of trouble. Tomorrow...after the training tomorrow, I want to talk to Kamala alone, and you can help me translate Right? ”
Hu Lai looked at Williams' slightly naive but serious face and sighed: "No problem, Pete. You are such a responsible and good person..."
Hearing Hulay's praise, Williams smiled sheepishly: "We are all teammates. And if Ismail can play the same state as he did in the first round of the league, it will be a good thing for the team."< br>
After saying that, he waved goodbye and drove away in his BMW Mini.
Hu Lai watched him go away again, and then couldn't help but sigh: Everyone is so worried about an eighteen-year-old kid. The naughty kid really doesn't make people worry!
