"Louis, are there any gains from going to Leeds this time?"
When Francis returned to Madrid, he was quickly called by Harvey Sanchez, the football director of the Madrid Kings Club, to ask for details.
"Sorry, Harvey. Because Leeds eliminated Ferenc, the pre-arranged plan didn't come in handy..." Francis explained.
"Yeah, I know. After all, no one thought they could win in that situation..." Harvey Sanchez nodded and didn't care.
"But this also shows that Hu has indeed matured. If he can come to the Madrid Kings, it will be a powerful supplement to our lineup... You watched the match between him and Tramed on the spot, how do you feel? Louis?"
Francis said: "He is indeed very suitable for the King of Madrid, because he has a super tough heart. But his importance to Leeds is also self-evident. If we want him, I am afraid that we will have to pay a huge price... that It can’t be done with 50 or 60 million, Harvey. It is said that there is no liquidated damages in the contract between Hu and Leeds."
"Money is not the main issue, Louis." Harvey Sanchez waved his hand. "The key is the player's own wishes... Is he willing to come to the Madrid Kings?"
Francis shook his head: "I don't know. When I went to Leeds this time, I didn't talk to him about anything related to this."
Hearing that Sanchez was a little disappointed: "So we don't know his attitude at all?"
"I can't say that I don't know at all..." Francis said as he took the phone from his pocket, opened it to find a photo in the album, and then handed it to Sanchez.
"This is..." Sanchez took a look, it was a photo of Hu Lai and Francis in the dressing room.
It can be seen that in the locker room after the game, Hu Lai was still naked, wearing a pair of shorts, with his own wardrobe in the background.
"Basically, he and I spoke some scenes, not too deep. After all, we were surrounded by other players from Leeds City and the staff from Leeds City... But in general, the exchanges between me and him went smoothly. , The atmosphere is also very harmonious, nothing bad happened. But when the conversation was about to end, Hu offered to take a photo with me."
Francis pointed to Hulai in the photo and said.
"Propose..." Harvey Sanchez keenly grasped the key message in Francis' last sentence.
Who would take the initiative to take a photo with Francis?
Most of them are fans and admirers.
Hu Lai is not an ordinary fan, but he offered to take a group photo, indicating... he admires Francis?
Although he is a forward, Francis is a midfielder.
But no one stipulates that a striker can't like a midfielder.
Besides, Francis is a legendary player in world football and an idol of countless young players...this is normal.
So from the point that Hulai offered to take a photo with Francis, Harvey Sanchez could infer that Hulai had a good impression of Francis...
This is good for the future actions of the King of Madrid.
Sometimes, a good personal relationship is a key factor in determining whether a player can successfully join in the end.
Sanchez, who understood, raised his head and asked Francis: "Do you two have contact information for each other?"
"Yes, we left each other's phone numbers."
"That's good, keep in touch, Louis. If he is willing to take a photo with you, it means that at least he doesn't hate you."
"Yeah." Francis nodded. "I will continue to follow Hu. Aside from the club, I am also very interested in him."

"I always find it weird..."
In a bar, Matt Dawn said to Tony Clark at the wine table.
"What's weird?" Clark asked after taking a sip of his wine.
"Francis has never been associated with us, why did you come here suddenly?"
Clark glanced at him: "You still can't guess this? Obviously it was directed at Husband..."
"Bullishly poaching?" Matt frowned dissatisfied.
"It's not true. People are here to get Hu Lai on the line, and I should talk about it later."
"Hey..." Matt sighed. "Hu's hat-trick made him once again one of the hottest people in European football...the wealthy people are like sharks that smell of blood."
"It's inevitable, Matt. A good player needs a suitor wherever he goes."
Matt glanced at Clark. "Why are you so calm?"
Clark spread both hands: "Because of this, I can't decide. Hu's future depends on the club and himself, and has nothing to do with the coaching staff. Moreover, Matt. Not only Hu, but Camara, Pete, Adams...none of them. There is a shortage of buyers. So we must now consider their replacements."
"Hu's replacement is hard to find. A forward like him is as rare as a panda." Matt shook his head.
"To put it another way, we can't find Hu like this, so we will find other good forwards. Lasky has grown up, and we will match him with a partner..."
After the two discussed the team’s next team building policy for a while, Matt still sighed:
We have reached the Europa League semi-finals. It should be a very happy time, but now we feel that parting is suddenly coming. Right now..."
"Ha, Matt, take it easy. Even if one day you really want to part, it won't be now. Hu and the club's contract was only re-signed last summer. Any giant... even the Madrid Kings, think To take Hu away from us, we have to pay a very, very high price. This is not so easy."
"Will you persuade Hu to stay, Tony?"
Clark did not give an answer immediately this time, but thought for a while, and then shook his head: "I won't. If he wants to go, let him go. I don't want him to live in Leeds. It doesn't make sense. He should show his talent and talent on a larger stage."
"But Tony, we have discussed it. Hu's characteristics are not very in line with the requirements of mainstream tactics..."
Clark smiled: "I don't worry about this now, Matt. Because one day when Hu is leaving Leeds, with his abilities and status, he should not need to wrong himself to meet the tactical requirements of the head coach. Europe. With so many competent head coaches, I don’t believe that only I can use him well."
Matt nodded thoughtfully.

Hu Lai sent a photo of himself and Francis to the group, and circled Zhang Qinghuan.
"Brother Huan, do you see who this is?"
"I'm going, Francis!" The first person to jump out was Chen Xingyi. "Why did you take a photo with him?"
"He went to our home court to watch our game against Tramed, and then met us in the locker room after the game." Hu Lai explained. "I thought it was fun at the time. Wasn't Brother Huan a'pirated Francis'? Now that I met with the genuine Francis, I wanted to take a photo together and show Brother Huan this pirated copy..."
"What is special about Hu Lai...what the is the pirated version!" Zhang Qinghuan jumped out, "Tsk tusk, I haven't met Francis yet. You didn't help me ask for a signature or something?"
"Brother Huan, didn't you say it earlier. I didn't want it. I'm not a fan of him. What do you want to autograph?"
"Ah, that's okay. Next time I have the opportunity to ask him for it myself." Since Zhang Qinghuan is called "Chinese Francis", he naturally has feelings for Louis Francis.
After he lost his explosive power, he was almost a little bit interested in breaking through. But because of this, in terms of passing, it really looks more and more like Francis who lost his speed in his late career.
If you can take a photo with Francis, for Zhang Qinghuan, you can be regarded as seeing his idol when he played football and fulfilling a little dream.
They were chatting, Wang Guangwei suddenly came out and asked, "Why did Francis suddenly go to watch the Leeds match? Isn't it a lobbyist for the King of Madrid?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone felt reasonable.
After all, Francis and Leeds are really out of reach-no one in this team knows Francis, and coach Clark and Francis have no personal relationships... Leeds City Club and Madrid Kings Club did not have any intersection before this. .
Why is he going to visit Leeds City Club suddenly?
"Francis said he was visiting as a private person. And he didn't mention the King of Madrid during the whole process..." Hulai said, "but what about him? I am not so easy to listen to what others say."
Everyone believes this, otherwise Hu Lai would not choose to come to Leeds, but to go directly to the King of Madrid. Why go around a big circle?
"Will you really go to the Madrid King in the future, Brother Hu?" Xia Xiaoyu asked in the group.
Hu Lai thought for a while and replied: "Maybe now, let's talk about it later."
Chen Xingyi: "Heh, I don't think this'later' will be too long. You have been tossing in the Europa League, and now there is news everywhere about where you are going and where you are going..."
"It's all nonsense!" Hu Lai sent out an emoticon that refused to Sanlian.
"But Hu Lai, you know you can't stay in Leeds forever, right?" Wang Guangwei continued to ask.
This time Hu Lai was silent for a long time.
Yes…
Will he stay in Leeds forever?
Although he is very happy playing here now... but people are always ambitious.
And no one can tell the future.
He chose Leeds City instead of the Madrid Kings, not because he didn't like the Madrid Kings or the giants, but because he knew that it was the best time to go to a small team at that time.
Then, in the future, a wealthy family will throw an olive branch to him. Will he still feel that it is most appropriate to continue to stay in Leeds with his own strength at that time?
After thinking about it for a long time, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Hu Lai said in the group: "I don't know if I will go, if I go where to go. Let's talk about it then, and talk about it then..."
This is not just perfunctory, but he really doesn't have a clear answer yet.
Others could understand Hu Lai's current state of mind, so they didn't rush to make suggestions.
Because of my career, I always have to plan it myself. Listen to other people's words, if you step in the pit, who is it?
These people are also playing abroad for the first time, and no one is more experienced than anyone else.
Even in terms of experience, Hu Lai, the first to go abroad, has the most experience.
He doesn't know how to go ahead, and the others have no right to speak.
Moreover, these people are not worried about Hu Lai. Hu Lai doesn’t know where to go next, and they don’t know when they can gain a foothold in their team...

At breakfast the next day, Junpei Morikawa said to Hu Lai very seriously: "If you plan to leave Leeds one day, leave, Hu Sang."
Morikawa Junpei generally uses the name "Sang" for Hu Lai only when he is very formal, and he usually calls him by his first name directly.
So when he heard this name, Hu Lai knew that Morikawa Junpei must be worried that his existence would make him hesitate when deciding to stay.
So he nodded: "Okay, Morikawa."
Morikawa Junpei stopped talking, bowed his head and continued to eat breakfast.
Hu Lai said: "But now I don't think about that. We haven't achieved our goal this season. We will wait until we win the Europa League."
All Leeds City players know that if they want to participate in the Champions League next season, they must win the Europa League this season.
Now they are...three games away from this goal.
