Chapter 24: Newcomers

Early the next morning, Song Jiajia saw Hu Lai and asked, "How was your sleep last night?"
"very good."
When Hu Lai answered, Song Jiajia stared at Hu Lai's expression and found that his expression was as usual, without panic or concealing his hesitant expression.
So he was puzzled: "You really didn't do anything last night?"
"It's done."
"Oh, what did you do?" Song Jiajia became excited.
"Qingqing and I had a special training on left-footed football last night!"
The fat man who was excited by Bai put up two middle fingers: "Damn, playing football with Qingqing in the evening, you kid is really a talent!"
Then he threw the key in his hand to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai caught: "What's this?"
"The key to your new car. AMGE63S, powerful horsepower, be careful when you first start driving, don't step on the accelerator pedal to the end." Song Jiajia pointed to the dark green sedan parked in the yard and said.
Hu Lai suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that I just heard you enter the door so loudly, so loudly, it reminds me of the ghost fire boy who bombed the street in the middle of the night..."
"You're a ghost!" Song Jiajia gave him a white glance, "I wanted to give you the whole sports car, but I thought that your kid is driving like an old man, why do you want a sports car."
"Then you give me the whole eh love hen?"
"I can't really give you the entire Volkswagen Polo, right? You are Mr. 100 million euros anyway, at least the car must be worthy of your identity. This car is neither high-profile, nor low-grade. It is just right for you... Why? ?"
Song Jiajia looked at Hu Lai's outstretched palm and asked.
"Bring one hundred million euros! They all said that I am Mr. 100 million euros. I have never seen so much money from the beginning to the end!"
Song Jiajia knocked his hand off, looked at Li Qingqing walking out of the house and asked with a smile: "Qingqing, your driver's license certification will be done soon. I will give you one at that time. What car do you want?"
Li Qingqing asked: "Did you send it?"
"Yeah, I'll give it to you!"
"Really?" Li Qingqing seemed to be unable to believe it.
Song Jiajia patted her chest and promised: "Send it if you say it!"
"Then I want A45, S."
Song Jiajia was stunned for a moment, and Hu Lai teased him when he saw this: "No way, fat guy, are you going to regret it?"
"I regret it!" Song Jiajia gave him a white look, "I just didn't expect Qingqing such a cute girl to drive such a wild car..."
Li Qingqing smiled and said, "I'm kidding, Mini will do."
Song Jiajia was still surprised: "But Qingqing, you actually know A45S."
"I saw it in Benavente's parking lot. It was Melika."
Song Jiajia and Hu Lai were very surprised. They didn't expect Meli's good boy to fire this kind of small steel cannon...
The two glanced at each other, seeming to imagine that Meli, who was an obedient child, got into his car and listened to the roar of the engine, transforming himself into a tofu delivery. Whatever shifting gears with the toe, or cornering the drain, he moved it so that everyone could only see his taillights, just like he flashed a defensive player on the court...
Suddenly feel a little sensational, what's the matter?
※※※
Hu Lai sat in the driving seat of the car, Song Jiajia sat in the co-pilot, the window opened, and Li Qingqing stood outside the car to watch them.
Hu Lai raised his right hand and hung in the air again: "Where is the blocking lever?"
"This is a Mercedes-Benz, hold on!" Song Jiajia pointed to the lever on the right side of the steering wheel speechlessly.
"Oh, I thought it was a wiper..."
Then Hu Lai looked down and said, "Which side is the throttle?" (Note 1)
Song Jiajia was so frightened that he opened the door: "Brother, come down, I'll open it!"
Hu Lai caught him: "What's the panic! I remember it physically!"
Then he stepped his foot on the brake and started the car.
There was a loud burst of cannons, and then it turned into a deep and powerful hum, and the V8 performance monster was awakened.
"Be careful on the road." Li Qingqing waved to them-the taxi she called was coming soon, and she was leaving home to train. Because the two sides were in completely opposite directions, Hu Lai couldn't drive Li Qingqing to Benavente first, and then go to Casa by himself.
This is why it is necessary to prepare two cars.
The small town of Herrera is in the middle of the two training bases, and the distance to each side is the same. Therefore, it is deeply loved by the players who play in the two giants clubs, and they have chosen to settle their homes here.
But the disadvantage is that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing went out and went out of the way, and they drove the car in different directions, so they couldn't go along the way.
After all, the other players who bought properties here have never had their troubles-a family of two belong to two different clubs.
After Hu Lai drove the car to the Casa training base smoothly, Song Jiajia got off the car with him. Song Jiajia took the car to continue talking to the pirate club. After Hu Lai’s transfer was completed, it didn’t mean that all the work would be gone. It's decided, his brokerage company still has specific work to do.
Hu Lai first went to meet with the team's coaching staff, and then was taken to meet with his teammates.
That will be their first meeting.
No, this statement is not rigorous, because it is not the first time someone has met Hu Lai.

Ion Martinez smiled and leaned in front of Cardoso Tonini: "Tonini, I want to ask you something."
Tonini raised his head and saw his expression, and he became vigilant: "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing, you don't need to be nervous. I'm really just asking a question, a small question." Martinez waved his hand again and again.
Tonini looked at him, thought for a while and said, "Then ask."
"I want to ask, how did you feel when you were tied by Hu's hat-trick at the World Cup... Ahahaha!" Martinez just finished speaking, turned and ran, laughing while running, like A neurosis.
Behind his ass, Tonini kicked it empty.
"Yon, you kid, don't run!" Tonini yelled behind him.
"Then you come after me!" Martinez turned to provoke Tonini.
Tonini lunged at him.
The two chased in the locker room.
They shuttled past the other teammates, causing others to follow suit.
"Catch him, Tonini, come on!"
"Run, Yon, run!"
Everyone threw aside what they had in their hands and cheered for the two of them.
The two of them chased all the way to the door of the dressing room amidst everyone's roar. At this moment, the door was opened.
A tall figure appeared at the door, almost colliding with Martinez who was rushing towards him.
Martinez stepped on the brakes and was hugged by Tonini behind him: "Grab your kid... eh?"
He also saw the people appearing at the door.
Maxi Carey.

Hulet once again met Ettore Parotti, the head coach of the Madrid Pirates.
"Seeing you are so energetic, obviously you had a good rest last night. I'm relieved." The Italian coach said with a smile, looking like a kind-hearted old man, but in fact he is still dissatisfied. Sixty years old, fifty-seven this year. It's just that long-term coaching work has made his hair almost white.
This shows how much pressure the football head coach is.
"Today is your first day to train with the team. Although you did not participate in the physical training phase of our pre-season training, I know that Leeds is a team that emphasizes physical fitness. Coach Clark also focuses on physical training. . So your physical fitness shouldn’t be a problem. Leeds City’s performance in the Europa League final was amazing. It’s amazing to be able to play in such a fast-paced manner in the final game of the season... by the way, that game. I watched the game on the spot."
Hu Lai was a little surprised: "Coach, are you on the scene?"
"Yes, I watched the game live with Captain Ramirez."
Hu Lai suddenly realized and remembered one thing-before the Europa League final, the trophy was brought to the scene by the captain of the previous champion Madrid Pirates Juan Ramirez.
But he didn't expect the team's head coach to follow along.
"To be honest, we didn’t send special scouts to follow you before, because we don’t need them. We can see your performance in the media almost every once in a while. So you don’t have to because we didn’t contact you in advance. I’m worried that the pirates’ coaching staff doesn’t know you well enough."
Hu Lai hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I have no such worries, coach. You are all very professional."
Parotti smiled and said: "We only need to determine one thing, that is, when you want to leave Leeds, we will pursue you when."
Parotti is right, Hu Lai is not a nameless man for the entire European football world today.
So those giants chasing him this summer do not need to send scouts a season or six months in advance to examine Hu Lai’s performance-what is Hu Lai’s performance, weekly Premier League, Champions League and Europa League matches All manifested clearly.
As a center with obvious characteristics and a single tactical role, Hu Lai's advantages and disadvantages are also well understood by everyone, and no matter how much analysis is done, it is impossible to analyze it.
Therefore, these giants did not deploy in advance on Hu Lai. It is not as high-profile as the King of Madrid is known to the world-of course this is the tradition of the King of Madrid, they have always been high-profile. After all, this is the only one who always talks about "the best players should play for the Kings".
Clubs such as the Madrid Pirates and Turin Bulls just waited quietly.
Waiting for the signal that Hu Lai leaves the team.
"Fortunately, we finally succeeded in chasing you, ha!" Parotti patted Hu Lai the shoulder, laughing heartily.
"The Pirates already have top players like Maxi Carey, but no one would think that there are too many players, don't they? I think the combination of you and Carey can be the strongest offensive line in La Liga. Overcome the Kings striker composed of Cerrados, Mellie and Van den Berg. Because you are both good at scoring. The team paid a lot of money to sign you so that you can concentrate on scoring goals and score more goals. I I believe you will be able to do this too, right?"
Hu Lai grinned: "I am really only good at scoring goals."
Parrotti was very satisfied with Hu Lai's answer. Then he introduced his coaching staff to Hu Lai one by one.
"Jesus Valentine, our first assistant coach."
A middle-aged bald man stood in front of Hu Lai and smiled at him: "Hello, Hu. I am a very demanding coach in training."
Hu Lai shook hands with him: "Hello, Coach Valentin, I will not let you down in training."
"This is the second assistant coach, Enzo Nagel, like me, an Italian."
A significantly younger coach reached out to Hu Lai: "Hello, Hu."
After Hu Lai shook hands with him, another coach stood in front of him.
"Diego Morales, is the team's fitness coach." This voluntarily introduced himself. He was thin, not tall and strong, and was the same as the muscular maniac fitness coach Anthony Huley met in Leeds. · Clement is completely in two ways.
Parotti smiled next to him: "Diego is a very powerful fitness coach. He has a very high evaluation of Leeds City's fitness training."
Morales nodded: "So I think even if you don't follow us in physical training, you can keep up with our rhythm in the next training and competition. Therefore, we will not lower your requirements during training."
Hu Lai quickly said: "Don't worry, coach, I can keep up."
"Physical fitness coach Javier Campos."
When shaking hands with Hu Lai, he added: "I am Diego's assistant."
Hu Lai was speechless in his heart-two assistant coaches and two physical coaches. The Madrid Pirates and Leeds City are really different. The rich are the rich...
"Goalkeeper coach Ramon Lopez."
A tall man who needs to look up to Hu Lai smiled and stretched out his big hand to him: "I retired two seasons ago. Before that, I played in the pirates for ten years. I am familiar with everything here. I love pirates. So glad you didn't go to the king, ha!"
Hulay met with the members of the coaching staff one by one. He didn't know whether every player who joined the Madrid Pirates had the necessary process, or only he had such special treatment.
After all, he is "Mr. 100 million"...
Fuck, the media talk all day long, I have to believe it!
After meeting with the coaching staff, the door of the head coach's office was knocked open and someone walked in.
Parotti introduced to Hulet: "This is the captain of the team Juan Ramirez. He will take you to meet other players and hope you get along well."
Hu Lai nodded, bid farewell to the coaching staff, and left with the captain.
Valentin waited for them to close the door and went out, then said to Parrotti: "It seems that Hu is a very good person to get along with."
Fitness coach Morales agreed: "He is very polite. And Maxi are two completely different types of people."
When it comes to Maxi Carey, Palotti is silent.

"I watched the UEFA Europa League final on the spot, and your two goals were very beautiful. I am very happy that someone finally broke the Voyager's record of'everyone enters the Europa League final'."
On the way from the head coach's office to the locker room, Captain Juan Ramirez and Hu Lai talked.
Hulay was a little surprised: "Aren't you all Spanish teams, shouldn't you be on the same front with each other?"
After all, if the Voyager wins the championship, then the Europa League honor belongs to Spanish football.
But Ramirez shook his head: "We don't deal with them."
"why?"
"Look at the names of our two teams. They are navigators. We are pirates. We are natural rivals." Ramirez laughed and said, "Just kidding. We have enemies with them. But not because of the name. Anyway, remember, Hu, if you score a goal against the Voyager, you will quickly win the recognition of the pirate fans..."
Hu Lai remembered the scene he saw in the lounge yesterday, pointing to himself and said: "But captain, I think it seems that the pirate fans have a high degree of recognition for me..."
Ramirez reacted and laughed again: "Yes! You are the one who rejected the king twice in a row! The whole world thought you were going to the King of Madrid, but you came to us and did a great job! Pirates! The fans like everyone who opposes the King, so you really won their favor."
Today is the first day that Hu Lai officially joined the Madrid Pirates. Before he even met his teammates, he already felt the hatred between the rivals in the same city.
This is very new and interesting for him, who has never had similar experience before.
They all say "extreme derby, no football", and he finally has a chance to feel the derby.
"Guys are all very easy to get along with. Pirates are not kings. We don’t pretend to be like them. We will say anything directly, even if it is a contradiction, we can solve it by saying it. If we don’t say it, we don’t know. , It becomes a bomb. So if there is any problem, you can find me, if I am not there, you can find Riva, Riva Moreno, he is the second captain of the team. The third captain is Joaquin Bella. I'll introduce you one by one in a while...You can also say it directly in the team, but no matter what it is, remember, Hu, everything is limited to the inside of the team, you know?"
When he was about to walk into the locker room, Captain Juan Ramirez stopped suddenly, looked at Hu Lai's eyes, and said something to him in a very serious tone.
Hu Lai was a little confused, and didn't quite understand why the captain was so serious suddenly~EbookFREE.me~ but he also became serious, nodding his head with a straight face, and promised: "Don't worry, captain, I am the most straightforward person, no So many flowers intestines."
"Very well, you speak Spanish very well. I heard that you are a language genius, so there is no biggest obstacle for you to integrate into the team. Now let's go, I will take you to meet the pirates."
Ramirez stepped forward and pushed open the locker room door.
"Guys! Newcomers join!"

Note 1: The real thing that happened to me-there was a gathering of friends, everyone drank alcohol during the dinner, but I did not drink, so I asked me to drive the driver on the way back. As a result, when I got into the car, I asked "Which side of the brakes is coming?", scared my friend half-wake up from the alcohol, and asked me if I could do it, or it was called a substitute driving.
In fact, my brain was convulsed at the time, and I asked that sentence. But if you want me to tell me which side is the accelerator and which side is the brake pedal, I still have to think about it before answering. I can't blurt it out. But if you let me drive directly, then my body will automatically put my feet in the correct position.
This is muscle memory.
