Chapter 83: First to Lead
In the early morning of the next day, a round of sun slowly rose from the east, accompanied by a gentle breeze blowing across the water, young people in twos and threes were running around the roads in the community.
In Tang Fei's apartment, through the chestnut curtains, the soft sunlight had already shone into the bedroom, and he gently looked at Lily, who was still asleep in his arms, obviously too tired last night. In order not to wake up Lily, Tang Fei carefully pulled out Lily's pillowing arm, and then tiptoed out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.
As the saying goes, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Tang Fei, who was released for a night, began to prepare his own love breakfast after some washing, and after spending more than half an hour, the nutritious and nutritious Tang's eight-treasure porridge was out of the pot. As a standard snack, smelling the aroma wafting through the room, a dazed Lily had already gotten up from the bed. Then you feed me, I feed you, and the two of them finished the breakfast in this way that was so sweet that they were tired of death.
Although Haosen took himself out to fool around very wrongly yesterday, in line with the principle of repaying grievances with virtue, Tang Fei still served a bowl of porridge to Haosen before going out. As for Lily's prank, Tang Fei apparently chose to forget.
At Haosen's house, after taking the medicine, Haosen looked much better after a night's rest, but the severe lack of water in his body and the weakness of his limbs seemed to be unhealed for a while. Drinking the delicious eight-treasure porridge, Haosen, who was leaning on the bedside, was full of emotion, and immediately looked at Tang Fei with teary eyes when his true feelings were revealed, he was really a brother and reliable!
But it may also be that Hausen's emotional outburst is too violent! In Tang Fei's eyes, Haosen's teary eyes directly turned into affectionate veins, especially the little thumb raised when eating porridge. In the end, Tang Fei quickly fled the scene after a brief admonition.
It took more than 20 minutes for Tang Fei, who was jogging all the way as a warm-up, to the training base, and after saying hello to Uncle White, who was guarding the door, Tang Fei walked in the direction of the locker room. After changing into training clothes, he came out again, and Tang Fei saw Coach Wise talking to captain Thompson from a distance.
Coincidental! Since Tang Fei had already promised Haosen yesterday, he could only tell the head coach Wise the reason for his illness alone, preferably the abbreviated version, so Tang Fei had to find a separate time, and now is a good opportunity.
Seven or eight minutes later, seeing that the head coach Wise had already separated from the captain, Tang Fei, who had been thinking about it for a long time, walked up quickly, "Coach, I have something I want to talk to you about?" ”
"What's wrong?" After explaining the matter, Wise, who turned around and was about to leave, saw Tang Fei coming over.
"Johnny had continuous diarrhea last night, I went to see it this morning, although it eased but his whole body was weak, so I asked him to take two days off." Tang Fei said.
"Oh~, you tell him that the body is more important than anything else. Since you are sick, rest well at home and come back when you are well. As soon as he heard that Haosen was sick, Wise immediately instructed Tang Fei with concern.
For any football club, the players are the most important asset, and the physical condition of the players is also one of the concerns of the head coach, so according to the regulations, the whole team will have a comprehensive physical examination every once in a while.
Let's make the most obvious comparison. In China, if a person has a cold, it is a trivial matter. From a child of a few years old to an elderly person, the number of colds should be at least more than 500, and it is generally enough to take some cold medicine, and never delay study or work because of a cold.
But in Europe, a cold is a big deal. Not only is it very contagious, but even the disease is very serious, and there have even been cases of death due to a cold that is too severe, and there have been frequent large-scale deaths due to diseases in European history, so even a small cold will be sent home to recuperate until recovery.
But he deserved to be unlucky, and Wise, who had already taken steps to leave, just asked casually, "Didn't Johnny take you to the bar after training yesterday?" How did it just last night? ”
Tang Fei really didn't expect the coach to know about it, seeing that he couldn't hide it, Tang Fei could only say sorry in his heart and said: "Yesterday we went to the bar, Johnny was accosted with a beautiful woman, and the beauty put a laxative in the wine. ”
It's another fancy way to die, and Wise is slowly getting used to it now, and this time he can't even bother to use the strength of Qi. As a retired player, Wise thinks it's okay to go to a bar and relax as long as there's nothing going on, and it's understandable to soak up the eyebrows once in a while. But someone like Haosen who didn't get his head and was killed by someone suddenly felt a sense of contempt in his heart, which really embarrassed the face of a man.
"Just let him rest." With deep contempt, Wise strode toward his office.
In the subsequent training, Tang Fei briefly explained to everyone who came forward to inquire about Haosen's news, and everyone didn't think much about it, and continued to devote themselves to training after instructing Tang Fei to bring their own concern, and everyone was actively preparing for the league that would come in two days.
For the next game, Wise is still relatively relieved. Before the start of League One, many betting companies and prediction agencies were optimistic about Rotherheim as one of the favorites to be relegated this season, and so far, Rotherheim's manager and players have lived up to expectations, taking the team all the way to the relegation zone, playing 27 games in the league and currently sitting in 21st. So this time against the opponent at home, Wise will use a wide range of substitutes. Leeds United, who had set their starting line-up, then began training according to the established tactics.
In the blink of an eye, on January 17, the 28th round of the league started, and as a team that was already standing on the edge of the cliff, Rotherheim is now racing against time. Leeds United, on the other hand, was ambitious even as a substitute, and raised the banner of attack after the opening.
In the 37th development, Leeds United, who failed to attack several times, got a great chance. Andy Hughes dribbled down the middle and ran wildly with the ball, and when he reached the edge of the Rotherheim penalty area, Hughes immediately distributed the ball to Cairo, who was running down the right flank.
After getting the ball, Carlo continued to go down and dribble closer to the sideline, at this time, the Rotherheim left-back was very concentrated, and followed closely with Carlo step by step, seeing that there was no chance to start the ball, the unentangled Kairo heel knocked back to Weston who was inserted on the side, and Weston, who had already found a good passing target in the run, received the ball and passed a half-high ball directly to the middle.
Over there, Hughes, who had been waiting for a long time, was in the right position, leaned on the defender behind him tightly, and suddenly turned around with a beautiful right-footed pull after unloading the ball on his chest, and then slammed his left foot into the depths of the penalty area, instantly tearing through Rotherheim's defense. At this time, Beckford at the far end played his strengths, and he had already inserted at high speed to meet the ball and shoot hard. With such a quick transfer and cooperation, the Rotherheim goalkeeper, who was still in front, had no time to return to the defense, and could only watch the ball fly into the net.
1:0, Leeds United, who came off the bench, took the lead.
