Chapter 1071 Across the ocean to see you
"...Hulay, who has finished playing for the national team, has returned to Leeds City. Today he completed his first training session after returning to the team. He did not train with the team, but was trained by the team's physical coach Anthony Clay Mente was doing recovery training on the side... regular press conference after the game On the day before, the team's head coach Clark said that Hulay was not injured in the national team game, but he was still a little tired, so he was not arranged to train with the team... but Clark refused to say whether he would exclude Hulay from playing against the warships. Hong Kong is not on the big list..."
In the video news, accompanied by the announcer's narration, there was a scene of Hu Lai jogging on the training ground under the leadership of the physical coach.
Li Qingqing switched her phone to the WeChat interface and sent a message to Hu Lai: "Are you going to play in the league on Sunday?"
It didn’t take long for Hu Lai to reply to her: “The boss said he wouldn’t put me on the roster for the competition.”
Seeing this answer, Li Qingqing switched to the ticket ordering APP.
Place an order for the flight ticket you selected previously.
After paying the payment, she switched back again: "Give you a chance to treat me to dinner."
Hu Lai posted a picture of a black man with a question mark.
"I'm coming to see you this Saturday."
This time Hu Lai posted a picture of a black man wearing a peaked cap with a question mark on his back, and then asked: "You came to see me? Did you mean to come to Leeds?"
"What else?"
"Let me go...you don't have any games on the weekend?"
"The women's football league is not as intensive as the men's football league. We only have one round every two weeks on average. This weekend happens to be unavailable. The team gave us two days off. I will come on Saturday and leave on Sunday." Li Qingqing explained.
After reading Li Qingqing's words, Hu Lai was shocked that Li Qingqing's obsession with letting him treat her to dinner was so strong...
But of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to say "No, you can't come."
He replied: "Okay, come on, I'll treat you to something delicious!"
"Red pepper? [grimace]"
"Red pepper won't work. The team's nutritionist won't let us. We can only eat one meal after the season, and it has to be after completing the task. You can choose the rest."
Naturally, Li Qingqing would not quarrel with Hu Lai on this issue. She was just joking: "I won't choose. You can eat whatever you like. It's up to you. I'm not familiar with any restaurants in Leeds."< br>
"Aren't you afraid that I'll treat you to Kaifeng dishes?"
"What are you afraid of? If you dare to treat me, you dare to eat!"
"Besides eating? Do you want to go somewhere else to play?"
"I don't know... is there anything interesting in Leeds?"
Hu Lai stared at Li Qingqing's words on the screen of his mobile phone, frowned and thought hard for a long time before replying: "I don't know either..."
"Otaku!"
"Aren't you a homebody too?"
"That's not me. I often hang out with my teammates during my vacation!" Li Qingqing retorted.
Seeing the word "teammate", Hu Lai's eyes lit up: "Yes, I will ask my teammates during training tomorrow and let them, the experienced players, recommend me."
"Okay."

After finishing the chat with Li Qingqing, Hu Lai looked up and saw Morikawa Junpei who was eating, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten the person in front of him...
When Li Qingqing comes, should I call Morikawa Junpei along?
Call me, it doesn't seem good.
Don't scream, it doesn't seem to be a good idea...
Morikawa Junpei, who was eating with his head down, felt something. He raised his head and saw Hu Lai looking directly at him, and asked: "What's wrong?"
Hu Lai, who came back to his senses, shook his head: "It's nothing, I just don't know if you can make the squad for this weekend's game..."
Junpei Morikawa was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Hu Lai to be considering whether he could get a chance to play.
He has been in Leeds City for almost a month and was only selected into the squad for the FA Cup fourth round a few days ago.
However, Leeds City lost 1:2 at home to Wiggerston in that game, and the FA Cup ended in the fourth round.
Junpei Morikawa sat on the bench for the entire game and did not get a chance to play.
But it was an FA Cup game after all, and in the mind of boss Clark, it was a game that was destined to be abandoned. At that time, many main players were taking turns, so Junpei Morikawa could get the opportunity to enter the squad.
Sunday's away game against Warship Harbor is a league match, and its importance is self-evident.
After Leeds City defeated Sydenham 2:1 at home in the last round, they accumulated 33 points and their ranking rose from 12th to 10th. After two consecutive defeats, Warship Port's ranking dropped to twelfth, currently with 31 points.
If they lose to Warship Harbor, Leeds City will drop back to outside the top ten.
Although the possibility of relegation is not very high, who wants to lose?
In such a game, will Boss Clark put Morikawa Junpei on the roster?
Although he was very grateful to Hu Lai for caring about him, Morikawa Junpei still shook his head: "I don't know... but I'm not in a hurry."
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued eating.
Hu Lai continued to meditate:
If Junpei Morikawa did not go to London with the team, could Morikawa be asked to go with him to meet Li Qingqing...
※※※
After the day's training, head coach Clark stood on the training field, facing the players who were warming up after training, and took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.
All players know that the boss is going to announce who can follow the team to London to play away games.
Although the game will not be played until the day after tomorrow, the roster will be announced two days in advance, so that when everyone comes to train tomorrow, they will pack their luggage in advance and go to the away game with the team after the training.
After training there to adapt to the venue, we stayed one night to prepare for the final game.
Unless the two places are very close to each other, you usually have to go to the away game one day in advance.
For most players, everyone knows who can make the roster and who cannot. After all, Clark's position as their head coach lasted only a day or two, and his selection criteria were no secret. Under the premise of adapting to the tactical requirements, whoever has a more correct attitude and can run better will be selected.
Therefore, few people will feel uneasy, excited and looking forward to it when the boss announces the roster.
People like Hu Lai, who was told by the head coach that he would not be selected for the squad a few days before the game, should be calm.
But when he saw his boss take out the piece of paper, his whole body tensed up.
This obvious change in attitude surprised Charlie Potter next to him. He asked strangely: "What's wrong with you, Hu? Why do I feel that you are a little nervous? Didn't the boss say that you won't participate in this game?" ”
Hu Lai glanced at him, and then turned his attention to Morikawa Junpei: "I am nervous for Morikawa, and I hope he can be selected for this competition."
Upon hearing this, Charlie Potter was in awe of Hu Lai - Hu Lai really values love and justice!
Clark began to read out the names of the players selected for the game one by one.
As I was thinking about it, a name with a slightly weird pronunciation popped out:
"Morikawa."
This is the Roman pronunciation of Morikawa, and it is also the English name printed on his jersey!
Junpei Morikawa was stunned for a moment when his name was read, but Hu Lai behind him cheered: "Aha! Congratulations, Morikawa!"
Junpei Morikawa looked back and saw Hu Lai's smiling face, and then he was sure that he had indeed been included in the game roster by the head coach.
Although this does not mean that he will definitely be able to play in the game against Battleship Port, there is always hope.
So he also grinned at Hu Lai.
Because he was interrupted by Hu Lai's voice, Clark looked up, but he did not blame Hu Lai. Instead, he was satisfied with the unity and friendship shown among the players.
He smiled and continued to read with his head down.
The little commotion caused by Hu Lai soon ended.
After announcing Leeds City's squad for next game, the team disbanded and everyone headed to the dressing room.
Hu Lai pulled Charlie Potter: "Charlie, do you know any fun places in Leeds?"
"Fun? Hey, you asked the right person, Hu! PRYZM, Venus, Paradise, and Digital Music are all good, the atmosphere is great, the DJ is superb, and the girls there are also very hot..."
Hu Lai heard this... Good guy, it's all nightclubs!
He knew that he had found the wrong person, so he turned around and left, regardless of Charlie Potter's efforts to stay.
"Farewell!"(End of Chapter)
