Chapter 720 I want it all
After training, Ismail Kamara was about to return to the locker room, but was stopped by Hulay:
"Ismail, wait a moment."
Kamala looked back at him: "Is something wrong, Hu?"
"Well, actually...it was Pete who wanted to talk to you."
Kamala glanced at Williams next to him again, thinking that he had eaten the meal he invited, and was too embarrassed to leave directly, so he stayed.
When there was no one else on the training field, Williams said to Kamara: "Ismail, Hu and I... each of us has experienced ups and downs. It's not a big deal. Don’t take it too seriously, take your time... If you need help, just ask, I very much hope to help you.”
This time Hulay did not give free rein when translating, but honestly translated Williams' words to Kamara.
But after hearing this, the latter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I thank you very much, Peter. But you may not be able to help me with my problem."
After Hulay heard what Kamala said, he did not translate it to Williams, but curled his lips: "What can't this help with?"
Kamala looked at Hu Lai curiously and unexpectedly: "Can you help me?"
Kamara is still somewhat convinced of Hu Lai, after all, his strength is there. So he maintained enough patience and respect in front of Hu Lai.
Kamara's football world is very simple - I treat whoever is good to me, and whoever is good to me and has strength, I not only treat him well, I also respect him.
At this stage, Hu Lai perfectly meets this criterion in his mind.
"Isn't it because your performance in the first round was too good, and then your opponents targeted you? In addition, the scale of physical confrontation in the Premier League is too large, and many times the referee does not call a foul, so you were knocked to the ground. It's all for nothing," Hu Lai curled his lips and said. "Because you have been targeted like this, you can't perform normally, and of course you can't put up any decent performance."
Kamala was stunned for a moment when she heard what Hu Lai said, and then nodded.
He didn't expect Hu Lai to really notice his situation.
"Let me tell you, you are just too honest. When someone tackles you, you get up without saying a word and continue to fight with the opponent... You said that you are so energetic and fierce, what referee would do that? Do you think the opponent committed a foul?" Hu Lai continued. "You also know the standards of the Premier League, why are you still so reckless?"
Hearing what Hu Lai said, Kamala fell into deep thought and did not speak.
"Hu, what are you two talking about?" Pete Williams didn't understand French. Seeing that Hu Lai and Kamala were just talking, he left him aside, confused. Look at the two people. Now that Kamala was silent, he was finally able to interject.
"Oh, I'm helping him solve his problem."
"You? How did you solve it?"
Hu Lai was about to answer Williams when Kamara next to him suddenly spoke up. He clapped his hands: "I understand, I have to learn to flop!"
Hu Lai rolled his eyes: "What a fake! What a fake! What are you thinking about all day long? Can you think of something better?"
Kamara was scolded by Hu Lai, and she had no choice but to spread her hands aggrievedly: "Isn't that what you meant, Hu?"
"What do you mean? Who means that!" Hu Lai refuted seriously, "I mean you have to learn to use the rules reasonably to protect yourself. It's protection, not diving."
Kamala blinked: "What difference does it make?"
"The difference? Of course, young man, let me tell you, there is a huge difference!" Hu Lai said, grabbing the confused Williams: "Pete, come and demonstrate with me."
"Demonstrate what?"
"Demonstrate how to protect yourself. In a moment you will defend me and tackle me."
Williams asked him: "Are you sure?"
"OK." Hu Lai nodded.
"Okay then..."
Hu Lai turned to Kamala and said: "Look carefully, I will tell you the difference between flopping and self-protection."
Then he motioned to Williams: "Come on!"
In order to be realistic, he even found a football to bring with him, and then Williams tackled it from the side.
Just when Williams was about to shovel the football, Hulay poked the football away. At the same time, he was rubbed by Williams' foot just as he poked away the heel of the football.
"Ah!"
Hu Lai screamed and fell to the ground.
Williams immediately became nervous. He turned over and got up: "Hu, are you okay?"
Hu Lai waved to him, then turned over and sat up, looking up at Kamala: "This is self-protection."
He said to Williams again: "Let's do it again."
Williams was confused and didn't understand what Hulay wanted to do, but he did it anyway.
This time Hu Lai asked him to defend head-on, while he came up with the ball.
When Williams stretched his legs to steal the ball, Hu Lai threw the football far away. Then when Williams tried to close his feet, he suddenly screamed and rolled to the ground, holding his ankles and tumbling two times. Week and a half.
"Uh..." Williams was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and shouted like a Frenchman: "I didn't touch you!"
Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground holding his ankles and rolling around with a painful expression, heard Williams' words and immediately got up from the ground and said to the dazed Kamara: "Did you see? This is a flop." ! Pete didn’t touch me, I fell, it was a fake fall.”
He pointed at Williams.
"And Pete did touch me just now. Although it was just a slight rub, when running with the ball at high speed, the rub was enough to change my balance and make me fall to the ground. Whether I fell to the ground actively or passively, it was still a big deal. It’s for self-protection.”
Kamala stared at Hulay, looking thoughtful.
Williams finally understood and asked Hulay: "How can you teach him to flop?!"
Hu Lai said dissatisfied: "What kind of flopping? I have already said, self-protection, self-protection. The other party violated me, and in order to avoid more serious injuries, I chose to fall to the ground to avoid it. Is this still wrong?"
< br>
Then he ignored Williams who was shouting on the side and said to Kamara: "The purpose of self-protection is not to frame the opponent's players, but to protect yourself. A player with your playing style will definitely become a leader on the court. If you remain silent every time you are kicked, then The referee will think it's not a big deal. Your opponent will also become more aggressive because of this. If you don't want the opponent to kick you in the ankle when the game comes, then you'd better let them know that you are not easy to mess with... Not to mess with' involves not only courage, but also some... cunning."
When Williams heard Hu Lai's tirade, he was afraid that Hu Lai was brainwashing Kamala, so he quickly grabbed Hu Lai: "You translate for me, Hu, let me tell him. Don't translate randomly for me..."< br>
"When did I translate randomly?" Hu Lai protested. "You are questioning my self-cultivation as a professional translator!"
Williams didn't talk nonsense with Hulay. He pulled Hulay and said to Kamala sincerely: "Ismail, you may not like what I say next, but this is what I must do after serious consideration. I told you. Because I believe it will be good for you.”
At this point, he turned to look at Hu Lai. Under his piercing gaze, Hu Lai had no choice but to translate Williams' words to Kamala.
Through these two months of getting along, Kamala also knows that Pete Williams is not that kind of hypocritical person, and what he says must be true.
So he nodded: "It's okay, just tell me, Pete."
After receiving permission, Pete Williams said with a serious face: "Maybe you think your advantage lies in your excellent foot skills, especially those moves with obvious street football marks. But I think your problem now comes from This. Your approach of keeping the football at your feet and controlling it will not work in a fast-paced and fierce league like the Premier League. In the game, it is very disadvantageous. Maybe sometimes, you can perform some wonderful performances with this characteristic, just like in the first round of the league, but it is difficult to perform consistently in the Premier League. The basis for establishing a foothold in this level of league...Hu, don’t extract my central idea, just translate it to him word for word!”
Williams also emphasized to Hu Lai, as if he was afraid that after he said so much, Hu Lai would finish the translation in just one or two sentences.
Hu Lai rolled his eyes: Do you still need to say that? What about the most basic trust between people?
He faithfully translated Williams' words to Kamala, word for word.
Kamala didn't say anything after hearing this. She looked down at some piece of turf, as if in a trance.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Williams continued: "I'm not asking you to give up your foot skills completely, but I'm saying that most of the time, you may have to put down your desire to perform. Unlike street football, we play football Not only to please the audience, but also to win. If you don't make changes, your opponents will attack you over and over again for this very obvious shortcoming. If this continues, opponents across the Premier League will know what to do. How to deal with you. Is this the Premier League you want to play in? ”
Kamala still said nothing and maintained the same posture as before.
Hu Lai turned to look at Williams to see if he had anything to say.
Williams really does.
"If you can slightly change the style of playing, it will be simpler and more efficient. Make full use of your speed and flexibility, simplify the movement of passing the ball, and focus on efficiency rather than viewing. I believe that even in In the Premier League, there are probably not many people who can stop you. Even Johnson Law will give you a headache." After saying some harsh words just now, Williams quickly gave Kamara some sugar. , it’s really like coaxing a child.
After Hu Lai translated all these words, Kamala still did not speak.
A slightly awkward silence suddenly fell between the three people.
Hu Lai looked at Williams and asked him with his eyes: Do you have anything else to say? Hurry!
Williams answered him with his eyes: No more...it’s really gone this time!
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more embarrassing, Hu Lai coughed and said to Kamala: "Well, Ismail... I think you have to learn to protect yourself first."
Upon seeing this, Williams also said in English: "I really recommend that you change your style, Ismail. Especially in the long run, changing your style will only benefit you."
Hu Lai sneered: "Bala Bala...you talk so much, do you think he can understand it?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as he can refine the central idea."
"Hey!" Hu Lai rolled his eyes. "Ismail, protect yourself."
"Change your style, Ismail!"
"Protect yourself!"
"Change your style!"
"Boys must learn to protect themselves, Ismail..."
"Changing your style can make you more focused, which is equivalent to sharpening the dagger in your hand faster!"
The two of them even fought over each other.
Kamara, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. He raised his head and looked at the two teammates standing side by side on the opposite side: "You two, stop fighting. In fact, what you said... is right, so I want both. We must not only learn to protect ourselves, but also try to change our playing style.”
Hu Lai and Williams looked at each other, and then Hu Lai smiled and said: "That's right. Only children take multiple-choice questions, and of course adults take all of them!"
Williams was relieved when he heard Kamala say this: "Of course it's best if you can figure it out on your own..."
Kamala went up and opened her arms to hug the two people: "Thank you, Hu, and Pete. I know what I should do next."
Williams smiled: "You're welcome, Ismail, we are friends, of course we hope our friends will be good."
Hu Lai nodded: "Yes, just remember to treat us to dinner."
Williams turned to look at Hu Lai: "I've always had a question, Hu. You usually don't eat at home, so you just expect your teammates to treat you well."
Hu Lai snorted: "Do you think of me as someone like Charlie? In China, inviting people to dinner is a very high hospitality etiquette. I'm just following our fine tradition of five thousand years of history!"
Seeing the two people bickering, Kamala, who was caught in the middle, grinned.
He thought that transferring to Leeds City might be a decision that could affect his entire future career. (End of chapter)
