Chapter 116: Don't underestimate yourself

With Hulay, Pete Williams and Laski's goals, Leeds finally defeated Holt 3:0 at their home court.
Two consecutive victories and no goals lost in two consecutive games at the same time.
The performance of the Leeds City team is better than before.
This makes everyone look forward to their next Europa League.
Especially the improvement in defense is obvious-after all, two consecutive games without conceding a goal, which is unheard of in Leeds this season!
The last time they did not concede a goal in two consecutive games dates back to April last year. Last season, in the 33rd and 34th rounds of the league, Leeds defeated Waldhampton 2-0, and 1 :0 defeated Manchester Athletic.
Coincidentally, this season Leeds City's two consecutive rounds without conceding a goal still started with a 2-0 defeat of Waldhampton...
Waldhampton deserves his best assist!
Morikawa Junpei still started in this game and played the whole game.
After playing two games in a row, he has no physical problems at all, which is reassuring.
Although he did not have as many brilliant shots in this game as in the previous game, a good defensive player does not need to be always in the limelight to do a good job defensively. That is more level.
In many cases, Morikawa Junpei only needs to appear in the right position to intercept the ball.
Or get stuck on the right route, and you can force Holt's players to bypass him.
Although he did not touch the ball, did not complete the tackles and grabs, it was also a successful defense.
Because he builds a barrier in the midfield, Leeds's back line does not always have to face the opponent's attack directly.
They can naturally handle the pilling more calmly.
Although only two appearances, many people were moved by the diligent and conscientious Morikawa Junpei.
Especially the Leeds City players, they can clearly perceive the different feelings of Morikawa Junpei before and after coming to the team during the game.
Jay Adams and Pete Williams, as Morikawa Junpei's partners in midfield, were full of praise for Morikawa Junpei's performance.
They think that the existence of Morikawa Junpei makes them feel at ease.
Especially Jay Adams.
Although he is playing in the midfielder, he still has to take on the task of organizing the offense, so sometimes he needs to move forward.
If there was no Morikawa Junpei, he would hesitate, even if he went up, he would be worried that he would always chase after him, expending all his energy on it.
And now, after he went up, even if Leeds lost the ball, he was not so scared. Because the Morikawa Junpei behind him will use various methods, either to slow down the opponent's attacking rhythm, or to steal the ball directly and pass the football to him.
The impact of this sense of security is great, and it can even make the players perform better in the game.
It is especially important for a team that is good at offense like Leeds City-they can be more relaxed in the offense.
Back in the locker room, Hu Lai hugged Morikawa Junpei: "Hurry up and take a shower and change clothes, and I will take you to eat delicious food in a while!"
Charlie Potter, who heard the key words next to him, came up with a shy face: "What did I hear? Aha! I heard all of them, Hu! To celebrate Morikawa's outstanding performance, I want to go too!"
"Go go!" Hu Lai waved his hand and pushed him away, "What's the matter with you!"
"Hey, it's nothing to do with me, I'm also a member of the team!" Charlie Porter held his head high and was very proud.
He thought that as before, when Hu Lai said "get out", he would still bring himself on in the end.
But I didn't expect Hu Lai's attitude this time to be very firm: "It's not good, Charlie. This time it's a work party."
"Work party?" Potter was stunned. "What's that?"
"In short, we are talking about business." Hu Lai said sternly. "Working things."
"Okay..." Charlie Potter had to reluctantly give up the opportunity to eat rice.

Sitting in the car, Morikawa Junpei hesitated: "I won't go to your work, Hu Lai?"
Hu Lai waved his hand: "That was for Charlie, but it was actually a private party."
"Private parties, then I'm not going to..."
"Oh, it's okay, I'll just talk to that side. You are my friend, and it's okay to take you with you. Besides, I'll eat delicious food by myself. What would it be like to leave you alone at home?" Hu Lai comforted him, "Don't worry, just follow along. It's not a stranger, you know them, and they know you too."
"Could it be Brother Huan and the others?" Morikawa Junpei guessed.
"Where are they free? Don't guess, you will know when you go!" Hu Lai focused on driving and drove to the pre-booked restaurant.
This time I can no longer invite people to dinner in my own home.
Otherwise, everyone sees Li Qingqing's familiar roads... I can't explain it clearly!
※※※
When Morikawa Junpei saw the smiling Li Qingqing, he first glanced at Hu Lai and understood why Hu Lai would not let Charlie Potter come.
At the same time, I am deeply honored that Hu Lai is willing to bring herself...
"Hello Morikawa, I'm Li Qingqing." Li Qingqing offered to extend his hand to Junpei Morikawa.
The latter hurriedly grasped it, and at the same time politely did not hold on, but separated with a light touch.
He has seen and heard of Li Qingqing on many occasions.
In Japan, Li Qingqing is called the "Chinese Football Super Girl" by the Japanese media who likes to exaggerate. Her good appearance and excellent football skills, even in Japan, have many fans.
This is the first time he has faced Li Qingqing face to face in reality.
Sure enough, the girl feels full.
"Hello, I'm Morikawa Junpei, I met for the first time, please take care of me!" Morikawa Junpei bowed attentively, making it very formal.
Song Jiajia quickly said: "It doesn't need to be so formal..."
Morikawa Junpei said seriously: "No. This is a courtesy. Hu Lai rejected the Leeds City team, but only brought me here. I think this is my honor!"
Li Qingqing asked Hu Lai in surprise: "You rejected the whole team?"
Hu Lai waved his hand: "Don't listen to Morikawa's nonsense, that is, he refused Charlie alone. The kid overheard me saying please eat..."
Morikawa Junpei looked at him solemnly and said, "But Hu Lai, didn't you tell me that if Charlie Porter knows something like a dinner party, does it mean let the whole team know?"
Hu Lai is a little embarrassed: Why is your kid shaking outside?
The others laughed.
As rumored, Morikawa Junpei is a different person.

"So you are shooting a promotional video for China's national competition?" At the dinner table, Morikawa Junpei looked at Hu Lai and Li Qingqing who were sitting together, and finally understood why Li Qingqing would appear in Leeds.
At first, he really thought that Li Qingqing just came to visit Hu Lai—the two of them have such a good relationship, it is normal to visit Hu Lai exclusively.
Unexpectedly, it was indeed for work.
"What? Do you think the two of us are not alike?" Hu Lai leaned against Li Qingqing, bringing himself and Li Qingqing closer, so that Morikawa Junpei could take a closer look.
Morikawa Junpei shook his head quickly: "No no. I think it's great, you guys are very good match!"
Song Jiajia opened her mouth slightly and forgot to speak.
Li Qingqing still kept a smile on her face, but she lowered her eyes, not knowing where she was looking.
Hu Lai laughed dryly, without talking.
The private room suddenly became quiet.
Morikawa Junpei seems to have also noticed the embarrassment behind this quietness. Although he doesn't know why this is the case, it is always correct to apologize first: "Ah sorry, did I say the wrong thing? The ‘good match’ is wrong?"
He looked at everyone sincerely.
Song Jiajia slapped the table: "No, no, it's a good use! It's a great use! It's a big deal! Come to Morikawa!"
He raised the wine in the glass, and Junpei Morikawa responded with purified water.
When the two of them were toasting and drinking, Hu Lai secretly glanced at Li Qingqing, wanting to see her reaction.
Turning his head, he realized that Li Qingqing was looking at him.
The eyes of the two of them were caught off guard.
Although it was a bit unexpected, this time, none of them looked away.
Just stare at each other like this.
※※※
After the dinner, Song Jiajia and Li Qingqing returned to their hotel, while Hu Lai drove home with Junpei Morikawa.
In the car, Hu Lai, who was waiting for the green light, suddenly asked, "Morikawa, how do you see that I and Li Qingqing match well?"
Morikawa Junpei glanced at him, a little surprised: "Isn't this you can tell at a glance?"
"So obvious?" Hu Lai was even more surprised.
Morikawa Junpei smiled: "Then I don't know how others think, but in my eyes, even if you two stand together casually, nothing is wrong. But if any one of you I’ll find it weird if people are replaced by others..."
"Li Qingqing is the goddess of countless people..."
"You are a role model in the minds of countless people, Hu Lai." Junpei Morikawa said seriously. "Li Qingqing will encourage many girls to go to the football field. You can also encourage many people to play football. For example, me."
Morikawa Junpei pointed to himself.
"If it weren't for your encouragement to me, I'm afraid I would have retired. And Brother Huan, if it weren't for you, what would he look like now? Xiaoyu has always regarded you as a benchmark. Pharaoh, Little Xingxing... …Why do you think they got together?"
Hu Lai was speechless. Thinking about it now, it seems that he has never thought about this problem: It is clear that everyone is such an excellent person~EbookFREE.me~ Brother Huan was once the number one genius of Chinese football, Lao Wang and Chen Xingyi. I was already famous in national competitions before myself...Why did they all have something to do with me in the end?
"So, don't underestimate yourself, Hu Sang!"
In the car with changing atmosphere lights, Hu Lai couldn't see his facial expression when Junpei Morikawa said so.
The red light at the intersection outside the car goes out and the green light comes on.
Hu Lai retracted his gaze, turned to look to the front of the road, released the brake, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car out of the parking line.
He stopped asking questions and drove intently.
Morikawa Junpei also stopped talking, looking ahead intently as well.
