Chapter 15: One Small Step and One Big Step(2/2)
“What you have to do is just like in training, ambush Lorenzo and look for opportunities.”
“Okay, boss.”
Hu Lai nodded and agreed, while spending 90,000 points in the system space to redeem three [Lingxi Cards]. The remaining points were no longer enough to exchange for the [Lover's Red Rope] to increase the luck value, so he had to give up.
Then he selected three targets for the three [Lingxi Cards] in the system vision.
They are Pete Williams, Charlie Porter and Lorenzo Esposito of the team respectively.
Williams is the core of the team's midfield and must be selected.
Charlie mainly plays on the right wing, and he has the best relationship with him and is most familiar with him. Using [Lingxi Card] can have an additional bonus of tacit understanding effect.
Captain Lorenzo is his strike partner. The task assigned by the boss is to work around Lorenzo, so of course it is impossible not to use him.
Three newly exchanged [Lingxi Cards] were used in a flash. In the system vision, Hu Lai saw that the three people had white light chains with him, and they were also connected to each other.
He then exited the system and quietly waited for his first Premier League game to come.
Charlie gave him a "come on" gesture, and he responded with a smile.
The captain cast an encouraging look at him, and he nodded in thanks.
Hu Lai didn't quite understand what Peter Williams meant when he came over. He seemed to be looking at him with a kind of scrutiny and a little expectation?
What the hell is this?
It seems that the inner drama of local geniuses is quite rich...
"...In the second half you have to keep putting pressure on their penalty area like you did in the first half! Don't think about defense - blast the opponent's goal away before we concede the ball! This is our home court, there is no reason for us to
Here we have to be timid and timid!"
Finally, Tony Clark used this passionate speech to end his adjustments and arrangements during the intermission.
Captain Lorenzo also stood up, clapped his hands and encouraged his teammates: "Cheer up! Win Sydenham at home and let us get out of the damn relegation zone!"
Pete Williams, as a local talented player in the team, is also shouting: "Come on! We can do it!"
Hulai followed the other teammates and howled: "Oh oh oh!"

Xie Lan’s eldest brother Xie Zelin also runs a company, and the house he lives in is the largest among the brothers and sisters.
But even so, the living room in his home was packed with more than twenty people at once, and it was still packed to the brim.
There was no room left on the sofa for a long time. Some people brought dining chairs, while others simply sat on the floor to watch the game.
But unfortunately, Hulay did not get a chance to play in the entire first half of the game.
Although CCTV commentator He Feng mentioned Hu Lai many times in the game commentary, he and his partner Yan Kang kept guessing when Hu Lai would play.
However, this kind of speculation can only make Xie Lan more annoyed in front of the TV.
One time, Hu Lai ran out from the bench to warm up, which made everyone in front of the TV excited. Later it turned out that their happiness was in vain...
Even though she was anxious inside, Xie Lan still resisted and did not show it on the outside. On the contrary, when someone tried to comfort her, she responded with a smile, as if "I have never seen any big storms."
Normally, she and her husband just watch the game at home, but now in front of so many people, she must keep her composure, otherwise she will be embarrassed.
During the halftime break, He Feng and Yan Kang continued to discuss Hu Lai's appearance. After analyzing and analyzing, they came to a conclusion-if the situation of the game did not turn around in the second half and Leeds City still had the advantage and did not score, Hu Lai would
There is a great chance to appear.
“Don’t just change it in the last few minutes...” Xie Zelin muttered.
“Crow’s mouth!” the old father yelled angrily.
Xie Zelin immediately shut up and said nothing.
After the commercials on the TV finished playing, the screen switched back to the players' tunnel at the game site.
People in front of the TV saw that familiar figure at a glance!
He was in the tunnel, chatting with his teammates and walking outside.
He was not wearing the white Leeds City sports jacket before, but the Leeds City home jersey with yellow on top and blue on the bottom.
At the same time, He Feng's excited voice sounded: "We just got the news that Hu Lai has been substituted! Leeds City will complete the substitution directly at the beginning of the second half! Hu Lai! The first game in his career
The Premier League, the first Premier League match for Chinese players... is about to begin! Audience friends, we are fortunate to witness history again!"
"Coach Clark gave Hu Lai a full forty-five minutes of playing time, which was more than all of us expected. It shows that he really trusts Hu Lai..." Yan Kang added next to him. "I hope.
Hu Lai, don’t feel any pressure and just perform normally!”
In front of the TV, Xie Lan was the first to cheer. She jumped up from the sofa, then fell back, leaning back on the back of the sofa and raising her arms.
"OK!"
“Come on Lailai!”
“Come on, cousin!!”
Applause and shouts rang out in the crowded living room, completely covering up the sound from the TV.

“Zi Qiang, when do you think Hu Lai can play?”
Father-in-law just posed this question to Li Ziqiang. Before he could answer, he saw a picture of Hu Lai wearing a jersey and walking to the court with his teammates on the TV.
At the same time, he clearly heard a loud roar coming from a window of the building opposite: "Come on Hu Lai!!"
“He is already going to play...” Li Ziqiang said.
“Oh, that’s great!” Mother-in-law clapped her hands and said happily.
※※※
“Beautiful!!” Everyone in the bar cheered.
After waiting for forty-five minutes for the first half and a fifteen-minute intermission, the Chinese fans watching the game could finally let go of their hearts and vent their emotions.
“It’s been a full forty-five minutes! It feels so good now!”
“Come on Hu Lai! Your school team teammates are supporting you!”
“Don’t think so much, just do it!”
“Hu Lai is awesome! Let them see how powerful you are!”
“WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!”
The excited people smashed their wine glasses on the table and timed their cheers.
At this moment, countless places and people in China are cheering, and the reason why they are so excited is just that Hu Lai is going to come on as a substitute...
It sounds incredible, it’s just an appearance.
But only these cheering people know in their hearts how long all Chinese fans have been waiting for this moment!
As He Feng said when Hu Lai walked onto the court:
“This is a small step for Hu Lai, but a big step for Chinese football!”
