Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 141: Carey's suggestion

Fox in the Restricted Zone Main Text Volume Chapter 141 Carey's Suggestion "Are you back? Why is it a little late today?"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Qingqing came out from the inside to meet him. Seeing Hu Lai whose expression was a bit strange, he asked again:

"What’s wrong with you?"

Hu Lai still had a weird look on his face and said, "I met Carey after training..."

Li Qingqing immediately understood why her boyfriend had such an expression.

Everyone knows that the relationship between Hu Lai and Maxi Carey is quite ordinary. They are teammates, but they are not friends. Although they are neighbors, they have no contact at all. As a result, now Kaili is looking for Hu Lai in private. This can't help but make Hu Lai feel weird, and Li Qingqing is also very strange: "Why is he looking for you?"

"He asked me if I wanted to make myself stronger..."

Li Qingqing stared at Hu Lai dumbfounded, never expecting that Kaili, who was at odds with her boyfriend, would say such a thing.

Hu Lai himself is still in shock, otherwise he wouldn't have the same expression when he saw Li Qingqing when he returned home.

He remembered the conversation he had had with Carey in the parking lot.

※※※

"How did you sleep after the game last night?"

When Kaili asked Hu Lai this way, Hu Lai was at a loss.

He said in his heart that you are not a health doctor, why do you still care about whether I sleep well?

Because he didn't know what Kaili was going to do, Hu Lai said perfunctorily based on the relationship between the two of them: "It's okay..."

Carey saw Hu Lai's prevarication at a glance, and he smiled: "I thought you would be tossing and turning in bed because you didn't score a goal and couldn't sleep at night."

"Why would I do that? I'm not a child..." Hu Lai pouted.

Carey pointed at him: "Well said. Only children can't fall asleep because of a game failure or poor performance. When they close their eyes, it's their poor performance in the game, and then they can't sleep. I blame myself for not being like this, not like that, and not behaving better... But when the child grows up, he will not do this, because he has seen too many failures, and knows that manpower is exhausted sometimes, not all failures You need to be responsible for yourself.”

After saying this, Carey looked at Hu Lai and said, "Congratulations, Chinese boy, you are an adult now."

Hu Lai frowned until he heard Kaili finish his last sentence before reacting: "Are you here to amuse me?"

He could hear the "sarcasm" in Carey's tone.

Carey shook his head: "What you said... I don't have the leisure to joke with you. I just came here to ask if you slept well last night. If you slept well, it means you don't need help .But if you're not sleeping well, maybe I have a suggestion you'll want to hear."

Having said that, he shrugged:

"You said you slept well. Then I'll pretend you slept well. Well, you don't need my help, and I'm actually not that willing to help you... goodbye."

After speaking, Carey got up from the car leaning on him, planning to leave.

At this moment, Hu Lai, who had reacted, suddenly stopped him: "I remembered, actually I didn't sleep very well last night."

Carey looked at him, but there was no embarrassment on the face of the person who just said the inconsistent words, as if telling nonsense was something he could do with his mouth.

Seeing that Kaili was still staring at him, Hu Lai even smiled flatteringly: "Brother, if you have any suggestions, just say it..."

Carey has always been hesitant about whether to advise Hu Lai on this matter. On the one hand, he knew the consequences of what he did, and on the other hand, of course, it was because he didn't like Hu Lai.

If you want to help someone you don't like, you need to do a lot of psychological construction.

But seeing such a hulai, the emotions in Carey's heart suddenly became dull in the end.

He still wanted to continue to sarcastically say a few words about Hu Lai, but now he didn't think it was interesting.

So he pouted and said: "As a striker, you do a good enough job of grabbing a shot, but you lack the ability to hold the ball. Of course, a striker who specializes in grabbing a shot does not need to take the ball, only needs two times A touch to stop the ball, a shot, or a shot at all...but if that's the case, why don't you stay at Leeds?"

In fact, there is still one sentence that Carey did not say, because he felt that if he said it, it would affect his compulsion.

After all, saying to Hu Lai, "Are you going to come to pirates to take my place?" seems to be begging him for mercy, or... acting like a baby.

Either way, Kyrie's ego wouldn't allow him to say that.

He bypassed the sentence and went on:

"... at least you'll have a better time at Leeds. The fans and team-mates there love you. I saw you back at Flanders and I must admit, it was moving. I even thought about it. , if one day I return to the Pirates Park as an opponent, I will not receive such treatment from you."

"It's not easy to get your praise." Hu Lai retorted.

After he came to the Madrid Pirates, the teammates here treated him very well, maybe because of his character, or maybe because he showed enough strength.

Anyway, he didn't encounter any bad people or things in this team.

But also because of this, when he could taunt Carey without any psychological burden, he actually felt... Well, this feeling is really good.

But Carey didn't seem to realize that Hu Lai was mocking him, but nodded along:

"You're right, it's really hard for ordinary people to get my praise."

His expression seemed quite proud.

Hu Lai rolled his eyes: "You misunderstood, I'm not praising you."

Carey raised his head slightly, and he, who was already tall, looked at Hu Lai with a feeling of disdain: "You just stated a fact, of course it's not a compliment."

"Damn..." Hu Lai finally understood why Kaili was called the "King of Kings"...

Although he has been with the Pirates for half a season, he doesn't have much contact with Kyrie. This private conversation between the two of them in the parking lot today was the first real contact between the two of them.

"Okay, big brother, don't pretend to be aggressive in front of me... If you talk about pretending to be aggressive, I'll be number two..." Seeing that Kaili was looking at him, Hu Lai changed his words temporarily, "You are number one! Since you are so good at pretending, don't act in front of me. Brother, if you have any advice for younger brother, just say it directly."

Carey was overwhelmed by the nonsense Hu Lai, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered what he wanted to say to Hu Lai just now, and he asked, "It's nothing, I just want to ask, why did you want to Leaving Leeds, where you had a great time?"

Hu Lai almost blurted out: "Because I want to become stronger."

Carey looked at him.

Hu Lai, who was watching, said frankly:

"Although I am very happy in Leeds City, I don't think I can continue to become stronger."

Then he turned to look at Kaili and asked, "So big brother, can you make me stronger?"

The initiative seemed to return to Hu Lai at once. Kaili frowned, a little disgusted by this feeling, but he still nodded: "I can't make you stronger, I can just give you some advice..."

※※※

Li Qingqing's eyes widened: "So Carey actually suggested that you try to improve your ball-handling skills, but it's not for you to use it to pass several people, but to increase your ability to hold the ball?"

She had already listened to Hu Lai's narration.

Hu Lai nodded: "Yes, that's pretty much what it means. Let me no longer be a point-grabbing striker who can only catch passes from teammates and then shoot, but one who can hold the ball in the penalty area anyway..."

Without saying a word, he heard a "pop!"

I saw Li Qingqing clapping his hands together, with a happy smile on his face: "Yes! Hu Lai! He is right! What you lack now is not the ability to score with your left foot, nor the ability to dribble. What you need is... the ability to control the ball in tight spaces! As long as you can control the ball, instead of shooting directly, it means you can create more chances in the opponent's box, and these chances may It will be more deadly than your direct shot!"

After being told by Li Qingqing, Hu Lai also remembered that most of his goals were fatal with one blow.

It's like a top assassin, possessing the most extreme agility, if he doesn't make a move, he can target his weak point and give him a fatal blow.

But this kind of assassin also has a weakness, that is, high attack and low defense. He must ensure that he cannot be touched by the opponent, even if he is scratched, he will be seriously injured.

So if such an assassin encounters an opponent who cannot kill him with one blow, he will be powerless when he has to carry the opponent's blow hard to injure him.

And Maxi Carey's suggestion to him is to let this assassin have the ability to carry the opponent's attack and send a fatal blow~lightnovelpub.net~ In short, an assassin with high attack and high defense.

He can kill one shot in the penalty area, or he can control the ball and create opportunities for another one-shot kill.

"I was thinking wrong. I always feel that you have to practice dribbling. It is still very difficult for your physical coordination ability, but you don't need to dribble past several players in a row. You don't even need to dribble. You just have to give your body a feint or two to get the angle off the shot. And it requires a lot less coordination!"

The more Li Qingqing said, the more excited she became:

"So Hu Lai, what you need to practice is not to excel, but to control the ball. Controlling the ball can give you the ability to launch a second attack. Compared with a stud, the second attack is the most deterrent method!"

Speaking of which, she took Hu Lai's hand and was about to go to the backyard.

Looking at Li Qingqing, who was more excited than himself, Hu Lai laughed, and obediently followed her out.
