Chapter 24: Remote but not romantic Turkey

Regarding Leeds football and Turkey, there is actually a public case.
That year, Leeds United participated in the first round of the 2000 Europa League semi-finals and challenged the Turkish team Galatasaray away.
As a result, before that game, Leeds United fans made trouble in Istanbul, causing a conflict between the two fans. Two Leeds United fans were stabbed to death by Galatasaray fans.
This matter is very troublesome. As a result, the Turkish Embassy in the United Kingdom received many threats and intimidation calls. Some Turks and Turkish nationals living in the United Kingdom were also personally attacked. In the end, the second round had to be held in a neutral position.
It is even said that some Dutch football hooligans issued an appeal to the British football hooligans afterwards, calling on the two football hooligans to join forces to retaliate against Turkish fans during the European Cup that year.
This bloodshed that happened before Hu Lai was born, Hu Lai himself only learned about the incident afterwards.
At first he thought the innocent English fans were attacked by the brutal Turkish football hooligans on the road. Later, he learned that it was the two football hooligans fighting in groups and the dogs biting the dogs. I have to say that the fighting power of the British football hooligans is really weak, just like their national football team, thanks to the developed Fleet Street propaganda skills, they all look very powerful, but in fact they are vulnerable...
Of course, this happened in the time and space before Hu Lai crossed.
In this time and space, there is no Leeds United, nor Galatasaray, and Leeds has not participated in any European wars before this year. Naturally, there is no such thing as a big show of British and Turkish football hooligans blooding the streets of Istanbul.
No Turkish team is a deadly enemy of Leeds.
Leeds City has no influence in Turkey, even though they won the Premier League title.
This may be explained by one thing-when the Leeds City team arrived in Istanbul, they actually slept peacefully that night.
You must know that before they came, they had heard of the fanaticism of Turkish fans and... "not polite".
Before them, there is no shortage of European teams who came here to play away games and were harassed by Turkish fans.
Therefore, the Leeds City players are fully prepared.
For example, Charlie Porter prepared a lot of earplugs to block his ears while sleeping to minimize noise interference outside.
As a result, when they woke up, they realized that the outside of the hotel yesterday was surprisingly quiet and normal.
what does that mean?
"This means we are looked down upon..."
In the hotel restaurant, Sam Landier, who was having breakfast, said with emotion to his colleagues in the coaching staff.
"It's normal to be looked down upon. We have never won against European teams before the season. Moreover, this is the home court of the Bay Lighthouse. They have home court advantage. Isn't it easy to beat us?" Matt said with a smile.
Clark said: "I hope they look down on us again..."
"Don't always think about good things!" Randyll poured cold water on him mercilessly.
In the dining area of ​​the players, everyone is also discussing the amazing scene last night.
"Isn't it said that Turkish fans are famously terrifying? I read the media descriptions, and I feel that Turkish fans are almost all'devils' with horns on their heads and fangs in their mouths. Now it seems that they are all those from the United Kingdom. Unscrupulous media deliberately discredited?"
"It's not enough to discredit, it's just an exaggeration..."
"Isn't that good?" Charlie Porter leaned forward. "I heard that the Turkish team's home court is the'Devil's home court.' If it is so polite...that would be a good thing for us, maybe It's not that scary..."
Everyone nodded and agreed with Charlie Porter's words.

"FUCK..."
The players of Leeds City looked at the fire-flickering stands. For a while, they were not sure whether it was the hand-held flare of the fanatical Turkish fans, or whether they had really lighted the stands, causing the stands in half of the stadium to fall into flames and smoke. Among them, even the goal of the Bay Lighthouse in the distance became hazy...
"British bastard, look at this!"
A group of brawny men with red paint on their faces and naked upper bodies are pointing their middle fingers to the Leeds City players on the court.
This is already the most "polite" greeting.
When the Leeds City players were still waiting to play in the player channel, the live broadcast sounded: "Let's welcome guests from afar-Premier League champion Leeds City!!"
The announcer's voice was very enthusiastic, and the fans in the stands were a hundred times more enthusiastic than him-they sent a Turkish "welcome" with deafening boos and roars.
Even overwhelmed the live theme song of the Champions League.
Then the Leeds City players began to walk out of the tunnel and towards the court. At this time, the Bay Lighthouse fans on the high platforms on both sides of the passageway issued various roars and abuses to attack the "British guests" from afar.
The scolding is very dirty, how dirty is it?
It's so dirty that if you write them out in a horrible way, I'm afraid this chapter will be blocked.
This left those Leeds City players who thought the Bay Lighthouse fans were polite before the game deeply speechless.
As the number one star of Leeds City, Hulay is naturally also the focus of greetings from Turkish fans.
At this time, Hu Lai realized the disadvantages of being fluent in various languages-he understood all these Turkish fans scolded him!
Greetings to his family is a routine operation.
The angle at which some home team fans attacked Hulai was also very strange. For example, they kept roaring at Hu Lai: "Your JJ is like a toothpick!"
This is very confusing-you said that a professional player's place is not big, what does it have to do with his game? Even if Hu Lai's place is really as small as a toothpick, wouldn't he be able to score your goals?
It's better to scold him as "Ask you how worried you can be, just like a group of eunuchs going to the brothel". Anyway, he can beg a favor and curse Hu Lai for not shooting for ninety minutes...what? Turks don’t understand Chinese? Oh, that's all right.
Hulay listened to the swear words of the Turkish fans, and took a deep breath: It is really good to participate in the Champions League. You can learn about different customs and customs by following the team in the away game...

With huge boos and curses, Leeds ushered in the first European game in the history of their team.
At the beginning of the game, the home team, Bay Lighthouse, launched a fierce offensive towards the goal of Leeds City in the frenzied cheer of the fans.
According to the information they have before the game, Leeds City is a team that is good at offensive and poor defensive.
Then the Bay Lighthouse sits on the home court and uses a fierce attack to crush the opponent and reap a victory.
But after more than ten minutes of attacking like this, they realized that Leeds’s defense line was not so easy to break down...
The legendary offensive madman "lunatic" Tony Clark did not let his team attack the Bay Lighthouse in the game!
Clark watched the Leeds players who were under siege on the court and smiled at Sam Randyll next to him: "Ha, so why do I never deny the misunderstandings of me in the media? Because I just want them to treat me Form this kind of inherent impression. Who said that a coach who is good at offensive wouldn’t let his team defend? I’m crazy, but I’m not stupid! Knowing that you’re going to die, what should I attack?

Randy shook his head and said, "Sometimes, I don't know if you deliberately run this image to confuse people, or if your personality is enough to confuse people, Tony..."
Clark glanced at him: "Is there any difference? It's all confusing anyway."
Randyle tilted his head for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Damn it, it really makes no difference."
In the first half of the game, Leeds City's main energy was used for defense.
In fact, starting from this season's pre-season training, Clark has spent a lot of effort training the team's defense.
Although this does not allow Leeds to become a defensive bus-type team, it can still improve the team's defensive level.
Especially when making up your mind to shrink the defense.
Just like this game.
Facing the aggressive offensive of the Gulf Lighthouse, Leeds contracted its defense and avoided its edge, while using the individual combat capabilities of Camara and Laski to counterattack and reduce the pressure on the line of defense.
Yes, the purpose of Leeds City's counterattack is not to score goals, but to defend.
Avoid being too unbridled by the Bay Lighthouse in your home court.
Hu Lai's performance on the court is not as bright as his striker partner Laski.
Of course, this also has something to do with the close defense of his opponents and the malicious treatment of the fans.
As long as he gets the ball, the boo is very loud, which can be said to be the highest decibel of all players on the Leeds City team.
Those who do not understand the virtues of the Turkish fans will be surprised. This is the first time Hulet has played against a Turkish team. He has never heard of any grudges between him and the Turkish team before.
Why would Turkish fans not wait to see Hulai?
In fact, it's not that Turkish fans don't wait to see Hulai, nor is it that they have any personal grievances with Hulai.
There is only one reason why they treat Hulai this way, and that is Hulai is the most threatened and most famous player in Leeds.
Turkish fans don't boo who he boo?
Could you just find an unknown person to boo?
The Turkish fans are not doing it yet-their emotions are not infinite supply.
"...This actually shows that Hu Lai made the fans of Bay Lighthouse feel threatened, otherwise they would not be so crazy against Hu Lai... This is the first time Hu Lai has participated in the Champions League. He should be very clear that it is similar to this. There will definitely be scenes in the future. As his fame and performance improve, he will definitely have this kind of treatment that is completely different from other teammates in the away game... But again, this is the only way to become a superstar. Any top player must have a super strong heart. I think Hu Lai has this heart..." He Feng praised Hu Lai while comforting the Chinese fans.
This is Hu Lai's first appearance in the Champions League, and it is also the first appearance of a Chinese player in the Champions League.
So even though the game is past 2 o'clock in the morning of China's capital time, there are many fans waiting in front of the TV just to witness this historical moment.
It's just that after the start of the game, Hu Lai didn't have any dazzling performance.
In addition, every time he takes the ball, there will be shrill boos in the stands. It is really the Chinese fans who watched the TV suffocating.
He Feng was also very upset, but as a narrator, some things can be said and some things cannot be said.
Therefore, his discomfort can only be held in his heart. On the surface, he still needs to explain the game fairly and objectively.
"He received insufficient support ~EbookFREE.me~ After all, the team's tactic is to shrink the defense. In addition, the Bay Lighthouse is more brutal, so this performance is normal..." Hu Lixin added to his wife.
Xie Lan nodded, but gave a hmm.
This made Hu Lixin a little surprised. He glanced at his wife secretly and found that she was watching the game seriously and intently, as if he really didn't feel anxious for his son.
Although I don't understand why, Hu Lixin thinks this is a good thing. Otherwise, he would be shocked by watching the ball, and his heart can't stand it...

PS, two more updates will be resumed tomorrow! Thank you for your understanding and support!
In addition, there is really no codeword when going out, not even the computer.
I didn’t have a code word for many days, and when I came back to find the state again, I felt that even my typing fingers were stumbling, and I often typed wrong words...
