Chapter 91: There is still a lack of beatings in the Premier League
The team resumed training the next day. Archie Fataki, who drove Kamara to training, asked him when he was about to arrive at the training base: "Brother, do you still have to get off the car and walk over in advance?"
Kamala, who was sitting in the back row, shook her head: "No, no need, Archie. I won't need it anymore..."
Fataki raised his eyes and looked at Kamala in the rearview mirror.
After this kid played, he still wanted to be in the limelight, but now he is so honest...
Of course he knows why.
The failure of Stan Park Rangers hit him hard, making him feel that what he did the past few days was simply childish and ridiculous.
Fataki has already persuaded him. Leeds City’s opponent is the defending champion, and Johnson Law, who he plays against in the game, is the main right back of the England national team and his strength is extraordinary.
Whether it is a team or an individual, it is normal for him to lose to his opponent.
But Kamala doesn’t see it that way.
He believes that if he loses, he loses, and there are no excuses or reasons.
He will not look for objective reasons to comfort himself. He feels that it is self-deception.
Facing the stubborn Kamala, Fataki had no choice.
No one wants to lose a game, but professional players must also learn to face failure, whether they want to or not.
Otherwise they would not be able to move on.

After all, a professional player's career must have more than one failure. If you lose a game and you have to live and die, then it is basically impossible to become a successful professional player.
It’s just that everyone’s attitude towards failure and how to deal with failure are different.
Just after the game is when the players are in the most pain, the atmosphere in the locker room will be relatively solemn at this moment.
The music that used to be played after winning a game disappeared. Most people lowered their heads and changed clothes silently, not talking much. Even if someone wanted to make a sound, they had to be careful.
When they return home, some players choose to use indulgent entertainment to make themselves forget the pain of failure - playing games, clubbing, having sex with their lover, spending money to find a "lover" if they don't have a lover or their lover is not around...
Some players will lock themselves in a room alone and choose solitude and silence to help themselves calm down.
Some people will try to find positivity from negativity and try to think in a positive direction - "We only lost two goals and didn't concede more goals, which is not bad." "After all, we are the defending champions, so their strength is different.
It’s such a big game, there’s nothing we can do about losing.” “No one wants to lose, but losing to the defending champion is better than losing to a relegation competitor like Burley, right?”
There are still people who choose to be numb and turn around and throw the failure away, as if the loss never happened.
There are also people who are angered by failure and hold a grudge against it.
Now it seems that Kamala should belong to this last category of people.

After finishing today’s recovery training, the coaching staff came to the coffee break room to drink tea and snacks while discussing the situation.
"How's Kamara doing today?" Tony Clark first asked strength and conditioning coach Anthony Clement.
"That kid... doesn't seem to have recovered from yesterday's loss. He was making ping-pong noises with every piece of equipment he practiced in the gym, as if these training machines had a grudge against him." Clay
Mente told what he observed in the gym.
“Well…” After listening to Clement’s introduction, Clark fell into deep thought.
Assistant coach Sam Landill said from the side: "In the next game against Abion, should we simply not let him start? Tell him to take a rest and reduce his pressure..."
But Clark shook his head and said: "No, let him start the next game."
Randall looked at Clark with wide eyes: "Tony, I don't think this is a good idea. After yesterday's game, I believe Abion's head coach Schiri must know how to deal with Kamara——
As long as he compresses the space for him to get the ball and defends him tougher, he can put Kamara into a quagmire... He plays football too hard. Although sometimes it is very enjoyable to watch, most of the time it only angers the opponent and cannot afford it.
It has no big effect. This is his fatal weakness. If he doesn’t change, his future achievements may not be as high.”
Randall seemed to be biased against Kamala, but what he said was true. Everyone present, even Matt Dawn, who originally recommended Kamala to Clark, admitted that Randall was right.
right.
Kamara lacks the guidance of formal professional football training and still has a strong street football style.
Perhaps there is no problem in a low-level league like France C.
But in the Premier League, where the competition is more intense and the pace is faster, it will immediately become a big problem.
In fact, just after signing Kamara, there was a big discussion about him in the coffee room.
At that time, Randyll held the same view as before, believing that if Kamara did not change, the future would be a dead end and the Premier League was definitely not suitable for him.
Nearly two months have passed, and his view remains unchanged.
Because Kamala hasn’t changed either.
He played well in the first league game, which covered up the problem to some extent, but the problem is still there and has not been solved, it is just invisible for the time being.
Clark laughed after listening to Randall's words, and then asked Randall: "Sam, you ran to him and said: Sooner or later you will be finished if you keep playing like this. So you must change your playing style - do you think
Will that kid listen?"
Randhir frowned, Clark had hit the point.
Kamara has been training with the team for almost two months. Head coach Clark also reminded Kamara and asked him to slightly change the way he plays that is too sticky and too fancy, but it has no effect.
This guy is very stubborn and has his own ideas. At the same time, it seems difficult to listen to other people's opinions.
This may be related to the environment in which he grew up in the past, and the attitude of others towards him in the past.
"For Kamara now, he wants to achieve results as soon as possible, and his excellent foot skills are his most proud ability. And now you ask him to destroy his most proud ability.
Then he will think: Are you kidding? What I am best at is gone, how can I still play? So he will definitely not listen to it."
Clark spread his hands and continued to explain: "So now I have figured it out. Instead of us telling him, it is better for him to go to the stadium to see the real Premier League and what the real top league is like. When he really realizes
Only when his own problems have to be corrected can he truly transform."
“What if he still doesn’t realize it, or he realizes it but is unwilling to change it?” Randhir asked rhetorically.
Clark didn't speak this time, and Matt Down next to him said: "Then we will only lose 300,000 pounds. Then we will continue to look for players suitable for our team in the transfer market."
Landhir had nothing to say.
Clark ended the topic: "Okay. That's enough about Kamara. Let's talk about Adams. How is he adapting to his new position?"
Randall opened the tablet, found Jay Adams' training performance report from it, and reported to Clark: "Overall, it's getting better, but Adams has some opinions about the new position. He doesn't think he is just a simple person."
A defensive engineer. He talked to me and said that we can actually take advantage of his excellent overall view and awareness and add a ball release point in the midfielder position. This can also free up Williams and prevent him from frequently retreating to connect in series.
, able to concentrate on organizing the offense..."
Clark nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "As expected, he was regarded as the core midfielder of England and London Bridge for the next twenty years. In fact, I also have this plan. I originally wanted to ask his opinion, but now I can save this step...
...But this requires a lot of his personal ability, and he has to improve his long passing ability to another level."
Landhir lowered his head and recorded on the tablet: "I will increase the proportion of his long ball training."
“Where’s Hu Lai? How is his long-range shooting?”
"His leg muscle strength has increased significantly, so he has the strength foundation for long-range shooting." Physical coach Clement came out to answer coach Clark's question. "In addition, because the leg muscle strength has increased, his speed and jumping ability have also improved.
The improvement..."
Landil added: "The problem now is Hulay's own consciousness - he is still used to getting into the penalty area, trying to get as close to the goal and then shooting. We need to change his thoughts and habits."
“Ah, it takes time for players to get used to their preferences...” Matt Down said from the sidelines.
Clark waved his hand: "That's okay, we are not in a hurry in this regard. I always think that the saying that he will be thoroughly studied in the second year is a common misunderstanding. Guys, to be honest, you think Hu Lai is a difficult person to study.
Players?”
He asked the question, everyone looked at each other, and then Randhir answered: "I don't think so. His characteristics are very single, everyone knows it."
Clark smiled and said: "Yes, that's it. Hu Lai is a player with a single characteristic and obvious advantages and disadvantages. Anyone who knows a little bit about penalty kicks can see it, so I don't believe the head coaches of those Premier League teams.
We still need to spend another season studying him. But the question is, is Hulay the kind of player who can be guarded by people who have studied him thoroughly?"
Matt laughed out loud when he heard Clark ask this. He knew what Clark was going to say.
Randhir also showed a look of astonishment.
Tony is right!
Hulai is a player who is best at shooting and can only shoot.
Everyone knows this, there is no secret.
In the first round of the league, Burley's head coach O'Drisco made defensive arrangements for Hulay and strengthened his defense.
But were you able to defend yourself in the end?
As long as Hulay enters the penalty area, Burley's center back William Barton will not leave his side.
Shouldn't he still score two goals?
What does this mean?
It shows that Hu Lai is the kind of player who you know what he will do and you know how to guard against him, but this does not mean that you will definitely be able to guard against him.
When arranging tactical theory, we can say clearly and logically, we will do this, then we will do that, and finally we can do this and that...
But in actual games, the players who execute tactics are not pre-programmed robots, but living people with emotions and desires.
It’s human to make mistakes.
Hulai is exactly the player who is best at catching his opponent's mistakes.
How do you think you can guard against such a person?
That's why Clark said he wasn't worried about Hu Lai.
Hullay did not score a goal against Stan Park Rangers, and he does not think there is anything wrong with Hulay. Just give him enough trust.
He and Leeds City both have plenty of time.
Hu Lai joined halfway through last season and had no time to integrate with the team, yet he still performed so well.
It makes no sense that Hu Lai, who has been with the team since the beginning of the season training, and who trained with everyone, did not perform as well as last season.
If that's the case...Tony Clark wouldn't think that Hu Lai has encountered the "rookie wall", but that he is too incompetent as a head coach!

PS, statement:
The English part yesterday was really not because of my poor English skills...although my English skills are indeed not very good.
But the reason why I wrote such an English that was obviously full of errors was to reflect Hu Lai’s weirdness.
At first I wanted to write directly in Chinese "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty", but I felt it was meaningless to write it like this. Who knows what kind of English he said to Williams?
After all, this is what I meant after translating and processing it.
So I thought why not let Hu Lai directly translate this famous line into English without paying attention to grammar?
Isn’t it more comedic?
That's why Williams was filled with questions when he translated that sentence literally in English...
So don’t say that I just used the translation results of a web page to make up the numbers.
Even if I use translation software, I have to change it several times before finally coming up with this version.
