After training, Ismail Kamara was about to return to the locker room, but was stopped by Hu Lai:
"Ismail, wait a moment."
Kamala looked back at him: "Is something wrong, Hu?"
"Uh, actually...it's Peter who wants to talk to you."
Kamala glanced at Williams next to him again, thinking that he had eaten the meal he invited, and was too embarrassed to leave directly, so he stayed.
When there was no one else on the training field, Williams said to Kamara: "Ismail, Hu and I...each of us has experienced ups and downs. It's not a big deal.
Don’t take it too seriously, take your time... If you need any help, just ask, I very much hope to be able to help you."
This time Hulay did not give free rein when translating, but honestly translated Williams' words to Kamala.
But after hearing this, the latter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm very grateful to you, Peter. But you may not be able to help me with my problem."
After Hulay heard what Kamala said, he did not translate it to Williams, but curled his lips: "What can't this do to help?"
Kamala looked at Hu Lai curiously and unexpectedly: "Can you help me?"
Kamara was still somewhat convinced of Hu Lai. After all, his strength was there. So he maintained enough patience and respect in front of Hu Lai.
Kamara's football world is very simple - I treat whoever is good to me, and whoever is good to me and has strength, I not only treat him well, I also respect him.
At this stage, Hu Lai perfectly meets the criteria in his mind.
"Isn't it because your performance in the first round was too good, and then the opponents targeted you? In addition, the scale of physical confrontation in the Premier League is too large, and many times the referee does not call a foul, so you were knocked to the ground.
It's all for nothing." Hu Lai curled his lips and said. "Because you are targeted like this, you can't perform normally, and of course you can't put up any decent performance."
Kamala was stunned for a moment when she heard what Hu Lai said, and then nodded.
He didn't expect Hu Lai to actually notice his situation.
"Let me tell you, you are just too honest. When someone tackles you, you get up without saying a word and continue to fight with the opponent... You said that you are so energetic and fierce, what referee would do that?
Do you think the opponent committed a foul?" Hu Lai continued. "You also know the standards of the Premier League, why are you still so reckless?"
Hearing what Hu Lai said, Kamala fell into deep thought for a while and said nothing.
"Hu, what are you two talking about?" Pete Williams didn't understand French. Seeing that Hu Lai and Kamala were chatting like this, he left him aside, confused.
Looking at the two people. Now that Kamala was silent, he was finally able to intervene.
"Oh, I'm helping him solve a problem."
"You? How did you solve it?"
Hu Lai was about to answer Williams when Kamara next to him suddenly spoke up. He slapped his hands: "I understand, I have to learn to flop!"
Hu Lai rolled his eyes: "What a fake! What a fake! What are you thinking about all day long? Can you think of something better?"
Kamara was scolded by Hu Lai, and she had no choice but to spread her hands in aggrieved manner: "Isn't that what you meant, Hu?"
"What do you mean? Who means that!" Hu Lai retorted seriously, "I mean you have to learn to use the rules reasonably to protect yourself. It's to protect, not to fall."
Kamala blinked: "What difference does it make?"
"The difference? Of course, young man, let me tell you, there is a big difference here!" Hu Lai said, grabbing the confused Williams: "Pete, come and demonstrate with me."
"Demonstrate what?"
"Demonstrate how to protect yourself. You will defend me and tackle me later."
Williams asked him back: "Are you sure?"
"OK." Hu Lai nodded.
"Oh well……"
Hu Lai turned to Kamara and said: "Look carefully, I will tell you the difference between flopping and self-protection."
Then he gestured to Williams: "Come on!"
In order to be realistic, he even found a football to bring with him, and then Williams tackled it from the side.
Just when Williams was about to shovel the football, Hu Lai poked the football away. At the same time, his heel was rubbed by Williams' foot just as he poked the football away.
"ah!"
Hu Lai screamed miserably and fell to the ground.
Williams immediately became nervous. He turned over and got up: "Hu, are you okay?"
Hu Lai waved to him, then turned over and sat up, looking up at Kamala: "This is self-protection."
He turned to Williams and said, "Let's do it again."
Williams was confused and didn't understand what Hu Lai wanted to do, but he did it anyway.
This time Hu Lai asked him to defend head-on, while he came up with the ball.
When Williams stretched his legs to steal the ball, Hu Lai threw the football far away. Then when Williams tried to close his feet, he suddenly screamed and rolled to the ground, holding his ankles and tumbling two times.
Week and a half.
"Uh..." Williams was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and shouted like a Frenchman: "I didn't touch you!"
Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground holding his ankles and rolling around with a painful expression before, heard Williams' words and immediately got up from the ground and said to the dazed Kamara: "Did you see? This is a fake fall.
!Pete didn’t touch me, I fell, it was a fake fall.”
He pointed at Williams.
"And Pete did touch me just now. Although it was just a slight rub, when running with the ball at high speed, the rub was enough to change my balance and make me fall to the ground. Whether I fell to the ground actively or passively, it was still a big deal.
It’s for self-protection. So it’s self-protection.”
Kamala stared at Hu Lai, looking thoughtful.
Williams finally understood and asked Hulay: "How can you teach him to flop?!"
Hu Lai said dissatisfied: "What kind of flopping? I have already said, self-protection, self-protection. The other party violated me. In order to avoid more serious injuries, I chose to fall to the ground to avoid it. Is this still wrong?"
Then he ignored Williams who was shouting on the side and said to Kamara: "The purpose of self-protection is not to frame the opponent's players, but to protect yourself. A player with your playing style will definitely become a leader on the court.
It is a public criticism. If you remain silent every time you are kicked, then the referee will think it is no big deal. Your opponent will also become more aggressive because of this. If you don’t want the opponent to attack you every time you play.
Ankle kick, then you'd better let them know that you are not someone to be trifled with... This kind of 'not to be trifled with' includes not only courage, but also some... cunning."
When Williams heard Hu Lai's tirade, he was afraid that Hu Lai was brainwashing Kamala, so he quickly grabbed Hu Lai: "You translate for me, Hu Lai, let me tell him. Don't translate randomly for me..."
"When did I ever translate randomly?" Hu Lai protested. "You are questioning my self-cultivation as a professional translator!"
Williams didn't talk nonsense with Hulay. He pulled Hulay and said to Kamara sincerely: "Ismail, you may not like what I say next, but this is what I must do after serious consideration.
I tell you this because I believe it will be good for you."
At this point, he turned to look at Hu Lai. Under his piercing gaze, Hu Lai had no choice but to translate Williams' words to Kamala.
Through these two months of getting along, Kamala also knows that Pete Williams is not that kind of hypocritical person, and what he says must be true.
So he nodded: "It's okay, just tell me, Pete."
After receiving permission, Pete Williams said with a serious face: "Maybe you think your advantage lies in your excellent foot skills, especially those moves with obvious street football marks. But I think your problem now comes from
Therefore, your approach of keeping the football at your feet and controlling it is very disadvantageous in a fast-paced and fierce league like the Premier League. Maybe sometimes, you can use this characteristic to play
There are some wonderful performances, just like those in the first round of the league. But it is difficult to achieve sustained and stable performance. And this is the basis for gaining a foothold in a league like the Premier League... Hu, don't extract my central idea,
Just translate it to him word for word!"
Williams also emphasized to Hu Lai, as if he was afraid that after he said so much, Hu Lai would finish the translation in just one or two sentences.
Hu Lai rolled his eyes: What do you think? What about the most basic trust between people?
He faithfully translated Williams' words to Kamala, word for word.
Kamala didn't say anything after hearing this. She looked down at some piece of turf, as if she was in a trance.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Williams continued: "I'm not asking you to give up your foot skills completely, but I'm saying that most of the time, you may have to put down your desire to perform. Unlike street football, we play football
Not only to please the audience, but also to win. If you don't make changes, then your opponents will attack you again and again for this very obvious shortcoming. If this continues, opponents in the entire Premier League will know what to do.
How to deal with you. Is this the Premier League you want to play in, Ismail?"
Kamala still said nothing and maintained the same posture as before.
Hu Lai turned to look at Williams to see if he had anything to say.
Williams really does.
"If you can slightly change the style of playing football, it will be simpler and more efficient. Make full use of your speed and flexibility, simplify the movement of passing the ball, and focus on efficiency rather than viewing. I believe that even if you are
In the Premier League, there are probably not many people who can stop you. Even... Johnson Law will give you a headache." After saying some harsh words just now, Williams quickly fed Kamara some sugar.
, it’s really like coaxing a child.
After Hu Lai translated all these words, Kamala still did not speak.
There was suddenly a slightly awkward silence between the three people.
Hu Lai looked at Williams and asked him with his eyes: Do you have anything else to say? Hurry up!
Williams answered him with his eyes: No more...it’s really gone this time!
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more embarrassing, Hu Lai coughed and said to Kamala: "Well, Ismail... I think you have to learn to protect yourself first."
Upon seeing this, Williams also said in English: "I sincerely suggest you change your style, Ismail. Especially in the long run, changing your style will only benefit you."
Hu Lai sneered: "Bala Bala...you talk so much, do you think he can understand it?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as he can refine the central idea."
"Hey!" Hu Lai rolled his eyes. "Ismail, protect yourself."
"Change your style, Ismail!"
"protect yourself!"
“Change your style!”
"Boys must learn to protect themselves, Ismail..."
"Changing your style can make you more focused, which is equivalent to sharpening the dagger in your hand faster!"
The two of them even fought over each other.
Kamara, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. He raised his head and looked at the two teammates standing side by side on the opposite side: "You two, stop arguing. In fact, what you said... is right, so I want both.
We must not only learn to protect ourselves, but also try to change our playing style.”
Hu Lai and Williams looked at each other, and then Hu Lai smiled and said: "That's right. Only children take multiple-choice questions, and of course adults take all of them!"
Williams was relieved when he heard Kamala say this: "Of course it's best if you can figure it out on your own..."
Kamala went up and opened her arms to hug the two people: "Thank you, Hu, and Pete. I know what I should do next."
Williams smiled: "You're welcome, Ismail, we are friends. Of course we hope our friends will be good."
Hu Lai nodded: "Yes, just remember to treat us to dinner."
Williams turned to look at Hu Lai: "I've always had a question, Hu. You don't usually eat at home, so you just expect your teammates to treat you?"
Hu Lai snorted: "Do you think of me as someone like Charlie? In China, inviting people to dinner is a very high hospitality etiquette. I'm just following our fine tradition of five thousand years of history!"
Seeing the two people bickering, Kamala, who was caught in the middle, grinned.
He thought that transferring to Leeds City might be a decision that could affect his entire future career.
