Kamala turned his attention to Hulay, and he remembered what Hulay said to him in the morning.
He really needs my help!
If I can disrupt the opponent's defense, then Hu Lai should be able to take advantage of the chaos...
After the game started, I don’t know if my opponents were affected by the warm-up match between Leeds City and Northumbria, and they didn’t defend me very strictly... They may have thought that I was an unknown player with no threat.
Kamala snorted.
Before he came to the away game with the team, his agent Aqi Fataki talked to him a lot.
To sum up, the central idea is actually very simple - the Premier League is completely different from the French Third Division that Kamara used to play, so Fataki asked his childhood friend not to have the same mentality of playing in French Third Division.
"This is the Premier League, do you know the Premier League? Europe... no, perhaps it is the highest level national league on the planet! It is very different from the French C League you played in before. One is high, like heaven, and the other is like a quagmire.
!You can’t face Premier League opponents with the mentality of playing in France C, you have to play smarter..."
Kamara still remembers how he answered Fataki at that time - he raised his middle finger to Fataki and interrupted his chatter: "Okay, Archie. Should you kick or me? Premier League
So what? Are three more players allowed per game than France C? Or will Premier League players bite?"
After saying these words, he retracted his middle finger and used his little finger to pick his ears: "For me, whether it is the Premier League or France C, it makes no difference. I still play how I play."
Seeing Kamara being so stubborn, Fataki became anxious on the spot: "Stop fucking joking, Ismail! Premier League players are countless times more capable than French C players. Those tricks of yours are useful against French C players."
, you can’t even make waves in front of them!”
After the poor performance in that warm-up match, he is now particularly worried that Kamara is still obsessed with using personal breakthroughs to deal with Premier League opponents. This will not only be as simple as being targeted for defense, but more importantly, once the team loses
ball, then all critical voices will be directed at Kamara.
To the angry fans and media, Kamara, who has a relatively unique playing style, is simply a natural-born scapegoat...
Unexpectedly, Kamara still spread his hands indifferently: "If my ability can't even make waves in front of Premier League opponents, then why did Leeds City want to buy me? Their head coach and scout team were collectively convulsed.
?"
This rhetorical question made Fataki speechless on the spot, and he didn’t know how to refute it.
Yeah, if Kamara is only so good at playing against French C opponents, why would the Premier League team Leeds City take a fancy to him?
Ismail Kamara looks at the Lancashire players on the pitch.
There was one thing he did not tell Archie at that time.
Even if what Archie said is right and makes sense, for him now, those things that are criticized are indeed what he is best at and the only thing he is good at.
If I throw away the only weapon I am good at, what else can I use to fight?
How to help Hu Lai?
He must be waiting for me...
Thinking of this, Kamala raised his head thoughtfully and saw Hu Lai looking at him from a distance. When he saw him looking over, he smiled slightly.
It seems to be encouragement and expectation.
Kamala took a deep breath and let it out sharply.
——
I don’t know what the difference is between the Premier League and France C.
I only know that my opponents are all two-legged people.

Achi Fataki stood in the living room of the rental house, watching the live game on the TV.
TV just gave Kamala a shot.
The commentator Matthew Cox introduced this scene to the audience: "Ismael Kamara, an 18-year-old French player, joined Leeds City this season. Before that, he played in a French team.
Playing for the C team, he has never had the experience of playing in the top league...but he is fast and has excellent skills with his feet. In the last warm-up match between Leeds City and Northumbria, he performed poorly and was criticized. Despite this,
, Coach Tony Clark still chose to start him in this game. It can be seen that Clark trusts him very much... I hope his performance can be worthy of the coach's trust..."
Come on, buddy!
Hearing what the commentator said, Fataki in front of the TV silently cheered for Kamala in his heart.
In the past, we could use the "warm-up match" as an excuse to tell everyone that the warm-up match is not a formal game, and the performance in the warm-up match cannot be counted.
But if we can’t produce anything in this official competition, I’m afraid the pressure will be extremely high.
Under such tremendous pressure, is head coach Mr. Clark still willing to give Kamara a chance?
He knew that at this very moment, in a cramped apartment in Caen, France, Camara's mother and his three siblings would be watching the Premier League game.
As the most promising child in the family, Kamala also shoulders the important responsibility of supporting the family.
His performance on the court was all his family's hope was to change the trajectory of their lives.
You can't be willful, brother...

When Burley attacked, Kamara did not stay in the frontcourt, but ran back to the backcourt and actively participated in the defense.
This is the request of the head coach. At the same time, the deep retracement will make it easier for him to take advantage of his speed.
Soon, Burley's attack was stopped by Leeds City at the front of the penalty area.
Peter Williams received Vieira's pass with his back to the attacking direction and did not look up to observe. Burley's captain Reese Hutchinson had already posted up, and he did not have time to slowly observe.
As if he knew where Kamara was, Peter made a long diagonal pass and moved the football to the left wing.
Kamara almost stopped the football with his chest on the touchline.
At the same time, Burley's right back Ryan Sweeney rushed up and tried to steal Kamara's foothold before he could get a foothold.
Even if the steal is not successful, the opponent can be forced to regain possession of the ball. This will make it difficult for Leeds City to play a fast break.
But just when Sweeney pounced on him, he saw Kamara suddenly use the outside instep of his right foot to gently bump the falling football upwards before the football hit the ground...
The football passed over Sweeney’s head as he tackled the ball!
At the same time, Kamara stood on one leg on the sideline, turned 360 degrees, and avoided Sweeney!
Like a ballerina dancing in Swan Lake.
There was an exclamation in the stands at Cadweiler Stadium.
Leeds City fans in the northeast corner stand also widened their eyes.
After turning around, Kamara pushed the football in the air forward with his head to put a distance between the football and himself, allowing him to use his speed.
Then, like a modified racing car with the nitrogen valve opened, he kicked off the ground and accelerated out!
When Sweeney turned around and chased back, the opponent had already run several meters away.
"Kamara--! Oh beautiful!" screamed Cox. "Nice turn! Beautiful lob! Brilliant! Sweeney was like a dull scarecrow in front of him! Now the scarecrow is
He tried his best to chase back, but he couldn't catch up because Kamala was so fast!"
Kamara is really fast.
Especially when there is a vast expanse of land ahead of him.
He caught up with the football, pushed the football forward, and the ball rolled ten meters away. He continued to catch up, almost without slowing down the whole time.
Like a small Category 12 hurricane passing by the sidelines of Cadweiler Stadium, the grass clippings and soil were plowed out by the shoe spikes, and then turned up. Some of them were even thrown into the face of Sweeney, who was chasing him behind...
In a blink of an eye, he dribbled the ball to the 30-meter area of Burley.
At this time, most of Burley's players have not yet returned to their defensive positions...
He is really fast!
Kamara did not continue to move on the wing, but used the outside instep of his right foot to push the football inward and directly dribbled the ball towards the center!
Aidan Benning, another central defender of Burley in Lancashire, did not dare to go up to him, because now apart from goalkeeper Ed Campbell, he and William Barton were the only two people in Burley's penalty area.
Patton wants to defend Hulay, and he wants to defend Lorenzo. Who dares to go up?
What should I do if there is a gap behind me when I get up?
He would rather let this kid take a long shot than leave his own defense zone.
Kamara saw this and did not shoot outside the penalty area. Instead, he continued to dribble the ball and pressed directly into the penalty area!
The moment he entered the penalty area, Burley's captain and midfielder Hutchinson rushed over and reached out to pull Kamara. However, after seeing that the latter was already in the penalty area, he retracted his hand.
, for fear that the opponent would fall in the penalty area, then he wouldn't be able to tell clearly...

“Kamara entered the restricted area!”
In a shabby apartment building in Caen, a city in northern France, Kamala’s mother and three siblings were crowded into a small house, waving their fists at the TV: “Come on, Ismael!
"
Fataki, who was also in front of the TV, tensed up and muttered: "Come on, come on, come on...Brother, you can do it!"
At this time, he had long forgotten his instructions to Kamara before the game.
※※※
Kamara’s determined move into the penalty area was the final blow that crushed Burley’s fragile backline.
Leeds City now have three people in Burley's penalty area, while Burley only have two people besides the goalkeeper.
Three against two, Leeds City has the advantage in local numbers!
Aidan Benning could no longer shrink back at this time. He didn't care about Lorenzo, who he was defending, and rushed directly towards Camara.
Kamara, who was originally breaking through in a straight line, suddenly stopped at this moment and gently moved the football to the right with the tip of his left foot, passing Benning so easily.
Go towards the middle!
“He’s still taking it!!” Cox exclaimed, “Oh my god! Is he going to take the football into the goal?!”
Leeds City assistant coach Sam Landill roared on the sidelines: "Quickly - pass - the ball -!"
But amidst the deafening boos, his roar was dispersed in the air as soon as it flew out of his mouth.
Oh shit!
William Patton saw Kamara running toward him, cursed in his mind, and rushed forward, trying to destroy the ball at Kamara's feet.
Kamara, who was adjusting the football with his head down, should not be able to see his actions, as long as he could suddenly appear in front of him...
At this moment, he saw Kamara push the football away with the outside of his right foot - he passed the ball?!
Yes, he passed the ball!
The "lone wolf" who was scolded bloody for being too sticky to the ball in the last warm-up match passed the ball!
He passed the football to...
FUCK!!
Button's heart sank when he saw the direction of the football. He knew who the opponent had passed the ball to...
※※※
“Hu——Lai——”
Amid He Feng's long-drawn roar, Hu Lai, who was pulled to the back point, was in an unguarded state - thanks to Kamara's interference in the penalty area, all the Lancashire players' defensive attention was attracted
In the past, he became a forgotten object.
But he likes this kind of forgetfulness.
The Forgotten Hulay accepted the gift from Kamala without hesitation and accepted it with a smile!
He raised his right leg and without stopping the ball, he swung the football towards the back corner of the goal.
The Burley goalkeeper Campbell, who turned over and fought back, just missed the football...
Then the football hit the inside of the far goalpost and bounced into the net!
Hulai, a second-year Premier League player, scored his first goal of the new season in the 21st minute of his first Premier League match this season.
The long preparation period for the season has passed, and the new season has officially kicked off. Please vote for me!
