Chapter 4: Who betrayed whom

Matthew Miller opened the zipper of his backpack and saw the football he grabbed from Hu Lai's joining ceremony, with a happy smile on his face.
Luckily, I didn't expect that the first ball that Hu Lai kicked would just fall on him. He just opened his hand and easily received the football.
There is Hu Lai's signature on it!
He took a closer look. Is this a Chinese character?
It is very different from our English...
After reading it, he pulled up the zipper of the backpack again, put it on his back, and opened the door.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father David Miller standing with his hands on his hips, staring at him, while his mother and sister stood beside him.
His brother leaned out half of his body at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, telling his brother with his mouth and expression: You are done...
"Where have you been?" Dad asked in a deep voice.
When Matthew saw this, he simply admitted: "I went to Hu's joining ceremony."
Dad didn't seem to expect the little son to be so straightforward. He was taken aback for a moment and became even more angry: "Are you not willing to tell a lie?!"
Matthew changed shoes and said, "Dad, didn't you always teach us not to lie?"
"..." David Miller was speechless, and then furiously: "So many of us didn't go, don't you know why?"
"Yes. But Dad, what does that have to do with me? I didn't agree with your approach from the beginning, and I never said that I would join your actions." Matthew Miller raised his immature face and faced Father, taller than himself, bravely greeted him.
The brother who was on the stairs behind his father saw this and winked at him and made a cheering gesture.
Mother stood up worriedly to persuade peace: "Okay, little Matthew, just say a few words, go back to your room..."
But little Matthew didn't listen to his mother's words, as if he was going to fight his father completely today-he stood still and continued to look at his father.
"Just because the club agreed to the'daddy' resignation, you wouldn't allow all of us to watch the team games. You can express your attitude by not going, but you can't let us not go. You My son, I’m still playing in the Leeds City Juniors. What should I do? Do you want to quit the team? In case, I mean if one day the club chooses me to be a caddie, what do you want me to do? What the club said? Said my dad because you fired coach Lauren Gurry, that I would not have any relationship with you? Dad, you know, how much I am eager to be a caddie at the Flanders Stadium, holding Lorenzo Esposito, Pete Williams...they stepped on the Flemish turf."
Dad was completely enraged by his son's resistance. He waved his arms and roared loudly, as if he was about to come up and punch his son: "Because of someone like you, the club will ignore our protest! They have served the team. Thirteen years of meritorious coaches have abandoned them like wild dogs! Put the club’s traditions under their feet! Hope that our fans can continue to support them? Have a dream! Hell!"
His face flushed red, like a barrel of explosives that could explode at any time.

"Hey, Uncle Yong. By the way, the Leeds City Club really just opened up the great hero who led the team to upgrade and relegation, isn't it a bit too extreme?"
Hu Lai and Yong Jun, who had just watched one house and were sitting in the car to see another house, chatted again.
I went to the club for the first time today, so he cared more about the club.
"This matter..." Yong Jun obviously knows more than Hu Lai, he said after some consideration, "If you want to say absolutely, it must be absolutely absolutely. But it is not absolutely absolutely..."
Then he told Hu Lai everything he had learned on the way to the next house.
To put it simply, in the first season of promotion to the Super League, after Lauren Grate led the thrilling relegation of Leeds City, he hopes that the team can continue to increase investment so as to get rid of the fate of relegation.
As the head coach of the team, it is natural to have such an idea, and it can even be said that every head coach should have it.
But the problem is that after the success of the Super League, he has asked the club to increase investment, but the result of increased investment is not very good-the team did not relegation until the final round. Two times in the middle, there was news that the meritorious coach might be dismissing get out of class. This is obviously not groundless. It can be seen that the coach's performance on the way to the Premier League is not satisfactory.
The increase in investment in the first season of the Premier League did not result in an increase in strength, and the club was also burdened with huge debts.
Under such circumstances, if we continue to increase investment, let alone whether the club has so much money to burn, we will say that UEFA’s fiscal fairness policy will not pass. Although the Premier League’s TV broadcast costs and match day costs are quite high, the Leeds City Club has invested more.
After being promoted to the Premier League, Leeds City bought a lot of players. To compete with other teams, they must provide more attractive conditions. The transfer fee must be higher, and the salary must not be less.
In this way, the Leeds City Club is getting closer and closer to the debt threshold of 39 million pounds within three years stipulated by the fiscal fairness policy.
If the dead line is broken, then Leeds City will face penalties in the new season. This is a fatal blow to the relegation team-after all, every point in relegation requires the whole team to fight for it. If seven or eight points are issued at the beginning of the season, Leeds can stay in place. Downgraded.
In order to alleviate the debt situation, the club had to start a fire sale model. Some players who were only bought last season and played for a year but did not perform well were sold at low prices. These people have fallen a lot compared with their value when they were bought. Selling now is actually selling at a loss. But the club still has to sell them, just to save salary expenses.
It is not enough to just sell the players who have performed poorly.
So before the start of the 2024-2025 season, the club sold the talented forward Sean Barnett that the team had cultivated to the North London Rangers for 25 million pounds.
This transfer fee, which created a record in the history of the Leeds City club, greatly eased the club's financial crisis, but also angered Lauren Gurry, who brought Sean Barnett out.
He publicly criticized the club’s management practices in the media, and scolded football director Nevin Ball. Believing that this young guy is destroying the foundations of Leeds City, he also criticized Jug Hodge no longer loving his club and criticized the club’s commercial director Harry Bradley, an American who doesn’t understand football at all. He was in the club. To be a commercial director is entirely a layman commanding an insider...
In short, this "daddy" who is lenient to the players but always grumpy to the management has scolded almost all the management of Leeds City Club and made the Leeds City Club panic...
The new season preparations for signings have also been greatly disrupted.
"...I think that Lauren Gurry's resignation may be used to threaten the club. I want to use his reputation in this team and in this city. He has resigned. How can the club be forced by public opinion? The pressure bowed to him." Yong Jun analyzed to Hu Lai.
"As a result, I didn't expect to meet the head of the club, Yogg Hodge, and he agreed to it... Then things became irreversible. If we look at it from a neutral point of view, you have to say that the fans are doing it for you. Lun Gurry is unfair. But is Yogg Hodge a heinous bastard? Gary has been in charge of the team for thirteen seasons and has been the team’s super hero. Hodge is also for this. The club has dedicated ten years to the owner and ten years of continuous investment and operation... Isn’t the team upgraded without the owner’s credit? Who supported Lauren Gurry’s signing goals? Is Hodge’s money? Is the wind blowing? Hodge is a local businessman, and he certainly has no worse feelings for Leeds. Is it unfair for the fans to attack him so frantically?"
Hearing what Yong Jun said, Hu Lai sighed: "It's like Gong Dou. People just want to play football..."
Yong Jun smiled and said: "In fact, these things have nothing to do with you. As you said, you just have to behave well. The good news is that at least the head coach is on your side. There is also good news about club management. Because this matter is tied to Tony Clark, they can only go one way to the black and fully support a coach who is optimistic about you. So I think your position in the team should still be guaranteed, as long as You can be in good shape during training and convince your teammates."
Come out in good shape during training...
Hu Lai thought to his system that there were 100,000 points awarded for completing the Golden Boot mission of the Chinese Super League and ten advanced training scrolls for shooting and stopping the ball.
The training scroll is used at this time.
As for the 100,000 points, he intends to keep it until he has a chance to play.
The so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, one hundred thousand points can be exchanged for three [smart cards], so that three people in this unfamiliar team can have a tacit understanding with him, which is of great help to him at the beginning of Leeds City.
But choosing who to use the [Lingxi Card] is exquisite. It does not mean that you can just choose three people in the lineup to match yourself.
For example, choosing a goalkeeper and a central defender to use the [Spirit Card] is a bit of a waste. They are so far away from themselves, it is difficult to connect with them, and it is not very helpful to them.
So Hu Lai intends to get acquainted with his teammates in daily training, and finally select the target.
As long as you have a chance to play, you can use the [Spirit Card] on the selected target, I believe it can play a key role in the final word.

In fact, both fathers and sons know each other's position, and quarrels often occur because of this matter.
The whole family is used to the quarrels that sound at home from time to time.
After all, they are still the same.
The father is on the stand of Lauren Gurry, and the son is on the stand of the club and the team.
If anyone is wrong...no.
I am afraid it is difficult to tell right from wrong in this matter.
Even within the big group of Leeds City fans, there are still different groups of people with very different opinions. Someone, like David Miller, chose to protest to the club by not going to watch the game.
Some people still go to the scene to cheer for the team every home game. They believe that if the fans' protests eventually demoted the team, they would lose their original intention. After all, I believe that Lauren Gurry does not want the team he has worked so hard to bring back to the Championship.
Even now, there is no result.
All that should be said, Matthew Miller no longer talks nonsense, he intends to walk around his father.
At this moment, David Miller hummed: "Do you really expect that the Chinese forward can bring anything? Don't you know Hodge's routine? He just wants to take this opportunity to attract Chinese investment. That Chinese forward is just a tool for him to cheat money from the pockets of Chinese people! A glamorous advertising sign!"
Matthew Miller turned to look at his father and shook his head with a smile: "But Dad, I have watched his Olympic Games highlights, I believe in my vision and judgment. You know, your son is from the Leeds City Junior Team. The core!"
After speaking, he bypassed his father and went straight upstairs.
But David Miller stood there and said no more cruel words.
Because the last words of his son made him unable to refute.
After all, his youngest son, Matthew Miller, was the young genius of Leeds who made his family proud a year ago.
But now, this young genius has become a "traitor" who rebelled against his father.
This makes David Miller extremely complicated.
