Chapter 18: bid farewell

The official announcement was finally made!
嘢嘢嘢!嘢!
Before entering the locker room, Zhou Zijing shook his fist vigorously outside the door to vent his excitement.
Starting today, Leeds City will bid farewell to the "Hu Lai Era" and enter the "Zhou Zijing Era"!
Afterwards Zhou Zijing arranged his appearance, concealed his excited expression, and walked into the dressing room calmly.
Just stepping through the door, he felt that the atmosphere of today's dressing room was very different from usual.
There is no music, no talk, no laughter.
Everyone stood in front of their closet, and said goodbye to Hu Lai one by one. He would not participate in today's training. He just came to the locker room to say goodbye to his teammates and was about to leave.
"Goodbye, man, good luck!"
"Goodbye, Hu, I hope you are all right..."
They hugged Hu Lai one by one, patted him on the shoulder, and said two words of blessing.
This made Zhou Zijing, who had just shook hands with them to meet them not long ago, realized that he was not so emotional that time.
Charlie Potter even had tears in his eyes: "Hu, you are getting more and more cocky now, don't forget me, if one day I go to Madrid to see you, you must not refuse!"
Hulai laughed: "Don't worry, Charlie. Don't say go to Madrid, if you go to China, I can still show you my pool party!"
"Don't mention your pool party!" Charlie Potter waved his hand again and again. "I don't want to leave a dozen or so girls in swimsuits, and run to play some group match!"
Everyone laughed.
The sadness of parting was finally relieved.
Hulay pushed Charlie away, walked to Camara, and said in French: "Goodbye, Ismail. I will miss your assists."
Camara shook his head: "You don't need me anymore, you are Mr. 100 million euros."
"No, I will always need it, Ismail."
Camara's eyes flickered.
Hulay patted him on the shoulder and walked to Pete Williams.
Before he could speak, Pete pulled over and hugged him firmly, while whispering in his ear: "I didn't expect that you started digging into the corner of the team before you left the team. Hu."
"What are you talking about, Pete?"
"Don't pretend to be confused, I know what you mean to Kamara."
"Hey, you really think too much...hehe!"
He coughed hard because Pete slapped him on the back with a slap when he was talking, making him breathless.
Lasky looked at Hu Lai, who was holding his heart and coughing, and said seriously: "I have benefited a lot from being able to play with you even though it is only one season, Hu. I am very grateful for your guidance to me. ."
"You're welcome...cough! You're welcome, that's your own natural ability, Dominic." Hu Lai coughed and waved his hand.
Jay Adams looked at Hu Lai like this and smiled at him: "Be careful, Hu. It's not that easy to get mixed up with rich people."
As the only person in the team with experience playing in giants, Adams, who was born in London Bridge, is naturally qualified to give advice.
Charlie Potter yelled next to him: "If you can't get anymore, please come back anytime, Hu. Even if you have nothing, Leeds is your home!"
Pete gave him a blank look: "Don't curse."
Hu Lai waved to them: "Don't worry, I won't come back if I don't mix well."
He walked to Morikawa Junpei again.
"Take care of yourself," he said.
Morikawa Junpei smiled: "I'm good at this, Hu Lai. So you don't have to worry about me."
When Hu Lai heard this answer, he thought about they left Morikawa alone in the big villa...
So he grabbed Zhou Zijing, who was watching the excitement next to him,: "Elbow sperm, you return to Leeds, so live with Morikawa. You two speak the same language, so you can take care of each other."
Zhou Zijing was a little unhappy: "I will find a house by myself..."
He didn't want to live in the place where Hu Lai lived, it would make him feel like he was "under the fence".
Hu Lai didn't seem to hear him at all, and continued: "My cabinet with the best wine in the audience is left to you. You will try to fill that cabinet in two seasons."
Zhou Zijing sneered: "It took two seasons to fill it up? You look down on me! I tell you, Hu Lai, I can fill you up in one season!"
"Okay, it's settled like that. You live together first, and then you can do whatever you want, whatever you want."
Hu Lai made a decision.
Morikawa Junpei has no objection either.
He and Zhou Zijing are neither familiar nor unfamiliar. Both can speak Chinese, so the communication is indeed smoother than with other teammates. Some people discussed what happened in the team.
This is indeed a good arrangement.
Finally, Hulai stood in front of Captain Lorenzo Esposito: "Sorry, Captain. I will not be here when you retired..."
Everyone knows that the new season will be the last season of Lorenzo's career.
Lorenzo raised his hand and touched his bald head. He smiled and said, "What's the matter? You have given me too many gifts. If it weren't for you, how could I have thought that one day I would be able to hold it up with my own hands? Europa League? You know, I was just an ordinary player who couldn't mix in Italy..."
His remarks are not exaggerated. Even if he helped Leeds to rise from the Premier League to the Premier League, he is just an ordinary player. He may lead the team to succeed as the captain, which is the peak moment of his career.
If it were not for Hu Lai, he would not have the chance to win the Premier League and the Europa League, nor would he be the captain to win those two trophies.
Now his figure trophy holding the cup will always be fixed in the history of Leeds City, and also fixed in the history of the Premier League and the Europa League.
Lorenzo Esposito will no longer be one of countless unknown professional players.
That's why he said that, this is the best career gift Hu Lai gave him.
With these two championships, his career has been much luckier and more exciting than most players.
"Well, guys, thank you very much for the two and a half years spent with you. I have nothing to say, good luck to everyone. If we meet in the future, I will not be merciful! "
Someone hissed: "Neither will we, Hu!"
Hu Lai laughed: "Then goodbye!"
He waved, turned and left.

"Oops."
Since Hu Lai left, Matt, who had been sitting on the sofa suddenly called out, and Clark next to him turned his head to look at him: "What's the matter?"
"I remember when I played "The Godfather of Champions", if a player wants to retire, he can choose to arrange a farewell game for him..."
"What are you thinking about, he just moved and left, not retiring." Clark was speechless.
"Yes, I know. I'm just... somewhat emotional." Matt Dawn shook his head.
"He doesn't need a farewell ceremony, he is not twenty-four years old, Matt. His future career is still very long..." Clark said.
Just a few minutes ago, Hu Lai made a special trip to them and bid them farewell.
He thanked Matt for discovering himself in the game, and went to Jincheng to tell him this.
He also thanked Clark for the opportunity he gave him.
From China to the UK, Hu Lai has to thank many people for this journey, but it is the two people he should be most grateful for.
The two of them are his Bole in Europe.
Chollima often has it, but Bole doesn't often have it.
"Honestly, Tony. I don't know if the Pirates coach Parotti knows how to use Hu correctly..." Matt was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Matt. Hu is no longer the newcomer who came to Europe in the first place and needs our careful care. Now he has the ability and confidence to deal with all challenges." Clark laughed.

"The transfer event of Hu Lai, which has been concerned by Chinese fans, has come to an end. At 6:30 in the evening in Madrid local time, Hu Lai, accompanied by his management team, took a private chartered plane and arrived at Madrid Barajas Airport...Through the camera, We can see that Hu Lai was in a good mood when he got off the plane, talking and laughing with his good friend Song Jiajia..."
"...Despite the presence of many media reporters at the scene, Hu Lai did not accept any reporter interviews at the airport. He came out of the dedicated VIP passage. There were already many Madrid pirate fans who had arrived after hearing the news. We were among them. I saw some oriental faces. I guess it should be Chinese students studying in Spain... These pirate fans made a special trip to welcome Hu Lai, some of them have already put on Hu Lai's pirates in Madrid jersey Hu Lai has confirmed that he is a pirate in Madrid The jersey number ~EbookFREE.me~ is the same as his in Leeds City and the Chinese national team, it is still the number fourteen..."
"...After Hu Lai waved to the enthusiastic fans at the scene, he got on a black commercial car surrounded by the management team. Then he drove away from our sight..."
Hu Lai sat in the car, looking out the window of the horizon extending towards the sky in the twilight, where the orange sunset was sandwiched between the black earth and the cyan sky, and the twilight was thick.
This will be where he will live next.
A city completely different from Leeds.
The food, weather, and football here are very different from those in England.
He will face many challenges here, but Hu Lai is not worried or uneasy about the future.
Both the past championships and the pirate fans who welcomed him at the airport today prove one thing:
He Hu Lai is no longer the nameless man in Europe!
