Chapter 11: Overseas career

Captain Pete Williams is taking Maxi Carey as he greets his new teammates in the locker room.
Zhou Zijing and Morikawa Junpei were sitting in front of their lockers, looking at each other from a distance, while chatting in Chinese.
"This person doesn't really come to us to defeat Hu Lai, does he?"
Zhou Zijing looked at Carey and asked Morikawa Junpei.
"Maybe it is." Morikawa Junpei said in a low voice. "Otherwise why didn't he go to Insubel and chose Leeds instead?"
"Then don't I have another opponent?" Zhou Zijing rubbed his chin.
Morikawa Junpei glanced at him and said nothing.
But Zhou Zijing keenly caught Morikawa Junpei's eyes, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"No... nothing."
"You're just saying 'yes, I have something to say'." Zhou Zijing put his arms around Morikawa Junpei's shoulder, "No, you have to say it. I hate people who stop talking!"
Morikawa Junpei sighed: "I am often called a 'Secondary'. But in the matter of 'Secondary', I think you are more 'Secondary' than me, Zhou Zijing..."
Zhou Zijing was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that Morikawa Junpei was calling him unrealistic, he stretched out his hands and stuck Morikawa Junpei's neck: "Don't raise other people's ambitions! Morikawa! Don't you forget that you want to defeat Hu Lai? Volunteer!"
The two were arguing, and Captain Williams brought Carey to them.
Zhou Zijing let go of Morikawa Junpei, stretched out his hand to Carey, and said in English, "Welcome, warm welcome! My name is Zhou Zijing, and I'm a center."
Carey shook his hand and said, also in accented English, "Hello."
Morikawa Junpei's attitude was much more normal. He took Carey's hand and bowed slightly: "Morikawa Junpei. Lower back."
"Hello."
After a brief greeting, Carey and Williams continued on their way.
Behind them, Morikawa Junpei asked Zhou Zijing in Chinese: "Don't you consider him an opponent? What's the matter with such an enthusiastic attitude just now?"
"Stupid you." Zhou Zijing smiled, "I have a good relationship with Kyrie, and when the game comes, he will pass the ball to me more, just like he tried to pass the ball to Hu Lai in the Pirates. Wouldn't it be easier to surpass Hu Lai? This wave, this wave is called 'turning an enemy into a friend'!"
Morikawa Junpei frowned and hesitated again.
Zhou Zijing glared at him: "Don't be like this, Morikawa. If you have something to say, just say it..."
Morikawa Junpei sighed: "It's different, Zhou Zijing."
"What's the difference?" Zhou Zijing hadn't reacted.
"I mean you're not the same as Hu Lai, so the scene you fantasize might not happen..."
Before Morikawa Junpei could finish his words, Zhou Zijing got stuck in his neck again.
"Which side are you on, Morikawa? Have you forgotten your intention to defeat Hu Lai?!"

Just as Luo Kai came out of the parking lot, he saw a group of people in the distance, hula-la walking towards him.
But today is not an open day. How can there be a filming team in the training base?
So he stopped and watched curiously.
"It's our new female football player."
At this moment, the voice of Ricardo Barlia came from beside him.
He turned his head and saw that the Portuguese was already standing beside him, stopping and watching with him.
"It takes such a big battle to introduce a female football player?" Luo Kai was a little puzzled.
Not to mention the women's football team, even Tramed's men's football team will not arrange such a large-scale filming team to shoot at the training base if there are any new signings.
After all, transfer signings are a very common thing, and there is no need to make a lot of fanfare.
"The club wants to show its importance to women's football..." Barea shrugged and whispered. "And the transferred players are very strong. Our women's team beat a lot of competitors to sign her. Of course, we must promote it well..."
"So pretty?" Luo Kai was a little surprised.
In his mind, only Li Qingqing can truly deserve the title of "superstar".
If Li Qingqing is here, then he can completely understand the battle in front of him.
But unfortunately... Li Qingqing can't come to Tramed.
Seeing the crowd walk in, Balia covered his mouth with his hand, leaned into Roque's ear, and whispered: "Lilith Laza, the main striker of the French national team, after Li Qingqing, the Paris Herger women's football team. Be a star. Are you pretty?"
When Barea was introducing, the crowd had already come.
Luo Kai was also able to see clearly who was surrounded by the crowd.
Then he froze.
It turned out to be the blonde woman who watched the Champions League final with him.
The latter also noticed Luo Kai's surprised eyes and cast a glance here.
After seeing Luo Kai, he smiled at him.

With the whistle of the coach, the ongoing offensive and defensive training was blown off.
Finally, the coach stepped onto the court, grabbed Ou Yangjin's arm, and said to him as slowly as possible: "When the offensive player turns to face you, you must go up to support him. Don't stand still. .have you understood?"
Ou Yangjin nodded. He didn't really understand what he heard, but he understood what the head coach meant, that is, let him go up to meet his teammates.
"If he chooses to pass the ball to you, you have to figure out where to pass the ball next before you catch it, and don't hesitate after catching the ball. In your position, it is more important to not concede the ball than to send a beautiful through ball, understand Yet?"
"ok, ok, ok coach!" Ou Yangjin nodded again and again.
He's been in Glasgow's Claude Ranger for almost a week and is still trying to get used to everything here.
Although he was already learning the language before he came, Scottish English is still a bit far from the London accent he knows...
So many times, even if he doesn't understand, he nods his head to show that he understands, and then he goes back to ask his own translator.
"Very well, let's continue."
The coach left the training area and blew his whistle.
Offensive and defensive training on the field resumed.
After the training of the whole team, Ou Yangjin was left alone to carry out additional training under the leadership of the coach.
Practice passing.
At European level, his passing is really...not great.
His strength is defense, but in European football, the requirement for a midfielder is not just his defensive ability.
In other words, his defensive ability will not allow him to stand firm in the Soviet super giants like Claude Ranger.
In fact, on the first day he came to the team, Claude Ranger's coaching team gave him a "diagnostic certificate". His strengths and weaknesses are mentioned in detail.
The coaching team also developed a year-long training plan for him.
The passing training after the team's normal training is part of the training plan.
In the extra practice, the coach plays his teammate and simulates a situation first, that is, the full-back takes the ball, he goes up to receive it, and then quickly transfers the ball out.
When passing the ball, he needs to make different decisions: whether to pass to the attacking midfielder in front, or to the winger in front of the outside, or back to the central defender, or long to the striker - which means different A marker is placed at the contact point. The closer the pass is to the marker, the better the pass.
When playing in the domestic flash star, the coaching staff did not recommend Ou Yangjin to make a long pass of more than 15 meters. Because his long passing ability is really not to be complimented...
However, in Claude Ranger, the coaches believe that a midfielder must have comprehensive passing ability. If the long pass is an obvious shortcoming, then the opponent only needs to press Ou Yangjin's passing space for this point, forcing him to only pass long. , wouldn't that be able to get the ball right?
Therefore, the coaching staff of Claude Ranger will not only ban Ou Yangjin from long-distance passing, but will also deliberately train to strengthen his ability in this regard.
Don't ask him how accurate the pass is, at least the simple long pass should be able to pass closely.
Of course, in the game, the coach will warn Ou Yangjin to try to choose safe passes instead of passing smart balls. After all, the priority principle of the lower back is still safety, not to make mistakes, not to be in the limelight.
Fortunately, Ou Yangjin is only twenty-three years old, and he is still very malleable. If he was two or three years older, Claude Ranger probably wouldn't consider buying him.
The coach playing the right back passes the ball to Ou Yangjin, who then freely chooses who to pass the ball to.
One foot after another, after 15 consecutive passes, he could finally take a break.
There is no dialogue between the two, only the coach's occasional accented comments, such as:
"nice shot!"
"not so good!"
"try harder!"
After finishing a set, the two changed their positions. The coach who used to play the right back now turned into a center back, simulating the scene in which the center defender was about to play the ball, and Ou Yangjin, the midfielder, went up to respond.
The sound of kicking the ball and the coach's shouting sounded constantly on the training ground.
Ou Yangjin's dream of studying abroad has just begun.
