On the sidelines of the coaching bench, assistant coach Sam Landill joked with Tony Clark after celebrating his goal: "Tony, are you nervous now?"
“Nervous?” Clark was confused, “Why should I be nervous?”
"Because Hu has already scored four goals." Randhir pointed out four fingers, "There is only one goal left before your bet with him. Are you panicking now?"
Clark then reacted and laughed loudly: "If he can score in every round, even if I lose to him for a few more meals, I will be happy!"
“Average one goal per game?” Randyll murmured, “He actually averaged one goal per game in the Chinese League, and the Premier League…”
"Forget it about the Premier League, Sam. Do you really care about this?" Clark patted him on the shoulder, "I still say the same thing, he can score five goals in the remaining half of the season, I will be very happy.
I'm happy. So even if he doesn't score a single goal after scoring five goals, I can totally accept it and don't think it's because of his poor performance. He's still young and has a long way to go, and our staffing this season isn't the same.
What suits him best."
Landier also felt that it was really funny that he had actually carefully calculated what Hulay would be like if he averaged one goal per game in the Premier League just now.
This is simply impossible!
What does it mean to average one goal per game in the Premier League?
means that he can score 38 goals in the 38 rounds of the Premier League. This number of goals is enough for him to break the single-season scoring record since the establishment of the Premier League.
So many great shooters in history have failed to do it, how could Hu Lai do it?
impossible, impossible...

“It’s really not a boast. When I saw Hu Lai chatting with the opponent’s defender, I knew that the ball must be there! Sure enough!”
“Hahaha, brother, how did you guess so accurately?”
“New here upstairs? Haven’t you heard of the famous ‘cross talk football’ genre? We old fans all know that when Hu Lai is looking for someone to chat with on the court, that’s when he wants to score...”
“It’s okay to shake forward, 666!”
…
Li Qingqing was laughing so hard on the sofa while holding her mobile phone.
The first half ended not long after Hulay's goal. Hulay scored the only goal so far, helping Leeds City lead Glamorgan 1:0 at home.
Taking advantage of the intermission, she picked up the mobile phone at hand, logged on to Weibo, and refreshed the topic about Hu Lai.
And the domestic netizens did not disappoint her. After Hu Lai scored the goal, she frequently posted golden quotes, which made her feel happy.
Sometimes, she even feels that after Hu Lai scores a goal or plays a game, going to the Internet to see how those netizens praise Hu Lai has become a fixed pattern for watching Hu Lai's games.
No matter how much netizens praised Hu Lai, she felt that it was almost meaningless.
Just looking at it and smiling, time flies by.
When she raised her head again, the fifteen-minute intermission had ended and the second half was about to begin.
So she threw the phone aside again, hugged the stuffed doll, sat cross-legged on the sofa and continued to watch the game.
Looking at Hu Lai walking out of the tunnel with her teammates, she said silently in her heart:
Come on Hu Lai!

Hulai’s goal in the first half was like a reassurance for the whole team.
Although they only scored one goal in the first half, Leeds City's offensive obviously picked up. It was just that there was not much time left for them in the first half, so they failed to score.
After the start of the second half, Leeds City, who played with ease and confidence, completely controlled the situation on the field.
Less than ten minutes into the game, in the 54th minute of the game, when Charlie Porter was cutting in from the left outside the penalty area, he suddenly shot a cold arrow. The football drew an arc on the turf and bypassed Guerra.
Morgan goalkeeper's fingers closed and he drilled into the goal!
Flanders Stadium is boiling again.
“Porter!! Wonderful goal! Leeds City are two goals ahead of Glamorgan!”
Glamorgan, who were two goals behind, fought back. After all, they are now ranked 18th, in the relegation zone, and need to avoid relegation.
But their attack gave Leeds City more opportunities.
Tony Clark, the head coach, did not choose to recycle the defense when he was two goals ahead, but further strengthened the offense.
As if he is not satisfied with the two-goal lead...
In the 69th minute, full-back Farek Quinn took advantage of the corner kick and scored with a header, helping Leeds City change the score to 3:0!
“The whole Leeds City team went crazy today! Everyone is in good condition! This is really rare!” Cox couldn’t help but sigh.
John and the others were standing side by side, holding hands, singing and dancing together in rhythm in the stands.
“Onward, Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!”
“We love you, Liz! Liz! Liz!”
※※※
Leeds City fans in the "White Rose" bar stood side by side, holding hands with each other, just like they did in the Flanders North Stand, and sang in unison to the TV broadcast:
“We love you, Liz! Liz! Liz!”
“We go through it together, through the ups and downs!”
“We will walk together until the earth stops spinning!”
“Onward, Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!!”
Then the TV broadcast flashed across the North Stand, and they saw several familiar faces, also singing.
The song in the bar suddenly stopped singing. A group of people pointed at the TV screen and shouted: "John!"
“And there’s Joe, Stone and Eric!”
“They are indeed there!”
“Damn it! Traitor!”
David Miller not only saw John and the others, he also saw his son Matthew.
He was holding John's arm and singing with him.
In the past, he should have been holding his own arm...
The father and son were in the stands, holding each other's arms, and then sang together for Leeds City.
“Damn that bastard John!!” David Miller, who had always avoided attacking his companions before, finally cursed out this time.

When the game restarted, Tony Clark raised his wrist to check the time, and then he said to Sam Landill: "I'm going to replace Hu."
Landhir was a little surprised: "Don't let him play the whole game?"
“It’s almost the first time, take your time...” Clark explained.
But Randhir looked at him suspiciously: "You kid...are you worried that Hu will win the bet with you in just three games?"
"Where are you thinking, Sam? Am I that kind of person? I'm not!" Clark said sternly. "I just want him to enjoy the applause given by the fans alone. He deserves such treatment.
."
“Okay, let’s switch to Kerry?” Randhir asked.
The full name of "Kerry" in his mouth is Lloyd Kerry, a forward from Leeds City. Before Hulay transferred to the team, he was the team's substitute forward. Lorraine Peretz transferred and left.
After that, he became the main player, but his performance has been tepid.
Now that Hu Lai is in excellent form, he will naturally return to the bench.
Clark nodded: "That's right, let him go up instead."
In fact, Kerry is not a good choice, but who told him that there is no better candidate?
Landhir turned and went to the bench: "Kerry, go warm up!"
Lloyd Kerry quickly put on his yellow vest and got up to warm up.

Hu Lai on the court didn’t know that the head coach was going to replace him.
Although the team has a three-goal lead, he is not satisfied with this.
After all, he is one goal away from winning the bet with the manager.
As long as he can score five goals, he can win a meal.
He has already asked Charlie Potter and Uncle Yong about it. "Red Pepper" is a famous Chinese restaurant in Leeds. The Anton cuisine and Capital Roast Duck there are very authentic, and the taste is incredible.
He hasn’t eaten there yet. After all, Ms. Schmidt doesn’t allow herself to eat greasy but delicious Chinese food...
Finally, the head coach was extra kind and invited him to eat. How could he let go of this opportunity?
The [Lingxi Card] is only valid for these three games. He must score as many goals as possible in these three games and strive to score five goals in only three games.
After all, props should be put to their best use and should not be wasted.
When Leeds City was attacking, he kept observing the movement of the football, and then ran back and forth around the penalty area, never standing in one place for more than three seconds.
He was still muttering:
“Twice-cooked pork. Kung Pao chicken. Roast duck...”
Burrell was surprised when he heard the Chinese player's plausible remarks: "What are you saying?"
Hulai glanced at him and grinned: "Goal spell."
Burrell frowned when he heard this, feeling that he had made a wrong decision - the other party obviously didn't want to tell him the answer. He was simply asking for trouble.
So he no longer paid attention to this godly guy.
He turned his attention back to Lorenzo, a high forward who was over 1.9 meters tall and put a lot of pressure on him in the penalty area.
After receiving the ball from his teammate from the wing, Peter Williams did not stop, but pushed directly sideways, pushing the football straight into the Glamorgan penalty area.
At the same time, Lorenzo used his body to hold Burrell and catch the ball with his back.
Burrell used his hands and feet to hold the opponent back from behind, preventing him from turning around.
Lorenzo tried to turn to his left, but failed.
Then he suddenly knocked the football to the right with his heel!
There, Williams, who was passing the ball outside just now, inserted into the penalty area at high speed and received the ball!
“Williams!”
The cheers in the stands suddenly increased.
Williams took a step forward after receiving the ball, attracting the Glamorgan defender to defend, and then he swung his foot to shoot.
A Glamorgan centre-back stepped forward to block the ball, but Williams did not actually shoot, but instead pushed the football sideways to the center...
There, Hulay grabbed a tackle before the Glamorgan player!
“Fish-flavored shredded pork!”
Glamorgan’s goalkeeper was too late to turn over and dive back.
The football just rolled into the goal he was guarding!
“4:0!!HUUUUUUU! Scored twice in two consecutive games! It’s incredible! It’s amazing!”
“Hu Lai——!!! Beautiful!! He scored again! The second goal in this game! Five goals in the last three games!!”
The Chinese and foreign commentators raised their arms and shouted at the same time.
※※※
After scoring the goal, Hu Lai got up from the ground, called his teammates to come up, and ran towards the corner flag area.
Then he did his signature celebration again!
Charlie Potter laughed and ran up, taking the lead in hugging Hu Lai who had just landed.
Captain Lorenzo ran halfway and turned around to see Peter Williams, and winked at him: "You still said you don't have a tacit understanding?"
Williams helplessly spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Captain, I haven't talked to him as much as you to him. Where did we get the tacit understanding before?"
“It doesn’t matter.” Lorenzo laughed and put his arm around Williams’ shoulders, “I didn’t have it before, but I have it now!”
Then he hugged Williams, ran towards Hu Lai, and plunged into the crowd of celebrating people.
