Chapter 1043 He is different from ordinary people
Salif Seydoux, who was training, suddenly sat down with his hands on his knees. At first, everyone was stunned because there was no confrontation at all and there was no one else within five meters around him.
Everyone thought he was tired...
But soon everyone realized that Seydu was injured!
"Hell!" Assistant coach Sam Randall cursed before blowing the whistle to interrupt the ongoing match.
Then the team medical team on standby quickly came in to check Seydoux's condition.
At the same time, head coach Clark also strode towards Seydoux. At the same time, he signaled other players to get off the field and rest first and not to watch.
The players obediently walked to the rest area on the sidelines to replenish water, but they still turned their attention to Seydoux, appearing very concerned.
Clark did not stand directly next to Seydoux, but stopped a few steps away so as not to disturb the work of the team's medical team.
Tom Middle hadn't finished the examination, but just looking at the painful expression on Seydoux's face, Clark could guess based on experience that Seydoux was seriously injured.
Leeds City are really unlucky this season. They spent 30 million pounds, setting a club transfer fee, and bought what they thought was a tiger player. As a result, his performance on the field was mediocre, and he is still injured in training.
It stands to reason that the 29-year-old Seydoux is in his prime, and he does not have a glass body. He only suffered three injuries at Berlin-Gössen United, and none of them were serious injuries.
As a result, Leeds City caught up with the first serious knee injury!
Thirty million pounds just wasted...
Clark's guess was good, and soon Middle came over and whispered to him: "Sedou said that his knee was very painful. I think there should be a major problem with the knee ligament... We need to send him for a detailed examination... ”
"Okay, no problem." Clark nodded calmly.
Then he walked to Seydu, leaned over and patted his shoulder, comforting: "It's okay, Salif. It's not a big problem, you will be fine. Now go for a checkup with peace of mind..."
After comforting Seydoux for a while, he asked Midel to help Seydoux go for examination.
When Middle and the others left, they happened to pass by assistant coach Sam Landill.
Randhir did not stop the other party to ask another question, but patted Seydu on the shoulder to express comfort, then watched the other party leave, and then found Clark: "How is the situation?"
"I think Seydoux will be out for this season, Sam..." Clark expressed his judgment.
"What the hell!" cursed Randhir.
"Do you know what this means, Sam?"
"It means... uh, it means we lost a defensive midfielder?" Randhir tried to guess.
"It means I have to go to Eric and ask him why our recruitment work in the defensive midfielder position is progressing so slowly!"
The coaching team did not decide to continue to introduce defensive midfielders after Seydu was injured. Long before this, Clark had finalized several transfer targets with Matt Dawn and submitted the list to the club.
As a result, there has been no progress so far.
Seydoux's injury raised this issue again, and it has reached a point where it cannot be ignored.
"But Nevin is in charge of the signings." Randhir reminded him that Nevin Ball, the club's football director, is the person in charge of transfers.
"I know, Sam. But why go to Naveen if I can just go to Eric?"
Hearing Clark say this, Randhir grinned. From this sentence, he could tell how dissatisfied Clark was with the club's recruitment work.
He wanted to use general manager Eric Duffy to suppress Nevin Ball, lest he, the head coach, would not be able to speak well.
※※※
"We have bad news, Eric."
When Clark knocked on the door of the club's general manager's office, he spoke straight to the point to Eric Duffy, who was sitting behind his desk.
"Seydoux is injured and the whole season is over."
Eric Duffy was stunned for a moment and stood up from his seat. He had realized why Clark had come to him specifically to tell him the news.
Logically speaking, if a player is injured, there is no need to notify the general manager. He has many things to deal with, but player injuries are not under his control, and he is not a team doctor.
Clark's appearance here today is a tactful way of expressing his dissatisfaction with the club's recruitment efforts.
So he explained: "Tony, Nevin has been flying around Europe during this period just for the few names you have on the list. But I'm sorry, either the other club won't let him go, or... The asking price is too high... It’s no secret that we lack a good defensive midfielder, and everyone wants to take advantage of it.”
"Europe?" Clark asked, "Did he go to Asia?"
"Uh..." Du Fei was speechless.
Looking at him like this, Clark knew that Nevin Ball didn't go. He didn't get angry, but sighed.
Hearing his sigh, Eric Duffy felt even more guilty. He quickly explained: "We initially planned to give priority to recruiting players who play in Europe. After all, players who have played in Europe are easier to adapt to... ”
Clark did not argue with Duffy, although he felt in his heart that Naven and Duffy might just not want to deal with that damn fat man... But he did not say it out loud, but chose to accept Duffy's explanation, and then said : "Can Naiwen go to China now?"
"Go, go, make arrangements immediately." With that, Duffy picked up the phone and called football director Nevin Ball in front of Clark.
Since Clark led the team to win the Premier League championship, his status within the club has increased significantly, and even the general manager does not dare to offend him easily.
After all, a head coach like Clark is popular wherever he goes, but it is hard to say whether Leeds City can find such a high-level head coach after giving up on him...

"I'm full, thank you Brother Lin and sister-in-law."
Morikawa Junpei stood up from his chair as he spoke, and then bowed to thank Qin Lin and his wife.
"Oh, I told you not to be so polite..." Wang Yuan waved her hand, feeling that Morikawa Junpei was too stubborn. "We have to eat every day anyway, and having you one more means adding a pair of chopsticks. It's really not a bother."
Qin Lin looked up at Morikawa Junpei who stood up: "Morikawa, why don't you move out? You are not used to living in such a big apartment alone."
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Lin." Morikawa Junpei shook his head and said, "But this is my home in Jincheng. Where can I live if I don't live at home?"
Qin Lin had seen Morikawa Junpei's stubbornness, but now he just shook his head and did not continue to persuade.
"Then, Brother Lin and sister-in-law, I take my leave." Seeing that neither of them had anything to say, Morikawa Junpei nodded his thanks again, then turned and went out.
"I'll see you off." Qin Lin also stood up.
Junpei Morikawa did not reject Brother Lin's kindness. He just stopped and bowed again: "Thank you, Brother Lin."
Qin Lin waved his hand, then put his arm around his shoulders and went out with him.
But it was just at the door of his yard. He squeezed Morikawa Junpei's shoulders hard and waved goodbye.
Then Qin Lin stood at the door and watched Morikawa Junpei cross a road and arrive in front of the large white palace-like villa. He took out the key and opened the door.
After opening the door, he turned back and looked towards Qin Lin. Seeing that Qin Lin was still at the door, he bowed again.
It wasn't until he saw Qin Lin waving his hand for him to hurry in that he turned around and walked into the house.
The heavy door was closed with a muffled sound.
"The same goes for this kid Morikawa... Wouldn't it be scary to live alone in such a big house?" His wife Wang Yuan's voice rang in Qin Lin's ears. "In our house, Qiqi and I wouldn't even dare to turn off the lights..."
Qin Lin looked back at his wife who was standing beside him at some point, and then continued to cast his gaze on the white house in the dusk.
"Indeed, I'm afraid of living alone in that house," he said.
Wang Yuan and her husband looked over together, still chattering: "This kid Morikawa is very pitiful. Hu Lai and the others have left, so I am left alone to look after the house. The Japanese team did not recruit him for the Asian Cup, just because of him He stayed in the Stars and played in the Chinese Super League... He was able to play in the World Cup half a year ago, but now he can't even play in the Asian Cup. Oh, it's really..."
"I remember Lao Zhao said that Morikawa's ideas are very different from those of ordinary people, so others often cannot understand him. Privately, they feel that he..." Qin Lin pointed at his temples when he said this. "Whether it's the same in Japanese clubs or the Olympic team, it doesn't seem to change when he joins the national team. He doesn't have many friends in Japan."
Wang Yuan nodded. Based on her contact and understanding of Morikawa Junpei, she could also feel that this man's spiritual world seemed to be very different from ordinary people.
"But in Flash Star, he made friends. This house must have extraordinary meaning to him. We think it's scary for one person to live in such a big house, but he thinks it's better to be bigger. Only when it's bigger can we accommodate it. He and his friends..."
"But all his friends have left. Didn't they also agree that this house will be vacant?" Wang Yuan asked.
Qin Lin looked at the villa and said, "That's why Morikawa's thoughts are different from ours. He doesn't live here to live, but to protect it. Because if the house is unoccupied for a long time... it will break down."
As he spoke, orange light came from the windows on the second floor of the villa.
※※※
Junpei Morikawa closed the door of the villa, changed his shoes and walked through the dark and empty living room. He turned from the right and walked up the stairs to the second floor. He first turned on the lights in the corridor.
Then he turned and walked to the bathroom.
After a while, there was the sound of running water in the bathroom. Then he reappeared in the corridor with a mop and started... mopping the floor.
Dragging it from one end to the other, dragging it all over the corridor. Then he used the key to open the door of Wang Guangwei's room, turned on the lights, and mopped the floor.
After mopping, he turned off the light and came out, then locked the door. Turn around and go to the bathroom to wash the mop.
The sound of water started and disappeared.
Morikawa Junpei walked out empty-handed and returned to his room.
After turning on the lights to brighten the room, he sat down at the desk and spread out a notebook on the table.
This is a health duty record.
When they rented this villa together, they would regularly hire hourly workers to clean the common areas of the villa.
But everyone's room is cleaned by themselves.
Now that they are all gone, no one cleans their respective rooms, so Morikawa Junpei took over the job.
He was alone and had to train and compete, so he didn't have much time to do housework. He could only find time to clean one room today and another room tomorrow.
Just like this, day after day, it took a week to clean the rooms of all six of them.
In order to avoid forgetting which room had been cleaned or not, he prepared a sanitation duty record with the names of six people written on it.
For all rooms that have been cleaned, put a check mark under the corresponding name.
Now he took up his pen and added a new "√" under "Old Wang", which meant that Wang Guangwei's room had been cleaned by him this week.
After recording, he closed the duty record and put it aside.
Then I picked up the tablet on the other side of the table, and under the two Hu Lai jerseys hanging on the wall, I hunkered down and started learning English with the APP.
The room with a single lamp on was soon filled with two tones of English reciting. (End of chapter)
