Leeds have another international break ahead of Wednesday's game against Sheffield.The team will have 13 days of rest time, which is undoubtedly good news for Byram.

Originally, before Wednesday's game against Sheffield, Byram had been cleared by the team doctor to play.But Fatty did not take the risk of letting Byram start for the sake of continuing the winning lineup.Fatty believes that after 13 days of joint training with the team, Byram will definitely be able to improve to a state that satisfies everyone before the next match day.

Fatty didn't have to pick up Xia Tian's get off work on the game day. After a frustrating game, Fatty decided to go to the bar to relax.

The fat man drove to Yorkdale's Tavern and found his usual seat. The fat man quickly filled his table with beer.

After a while, a familiar face came into Fatty's eyes - Owen the man with glasses.Wait, he is holding a four or five-year-old girl who looks like a doll.Unexpectedly, Owen, who looks young, even has his daughter so old.

This made the fatty so curious, he immediately waved to the man with glasses and said, "Hi, Owen, come here."

After seeing it, Owen led the little girl and walked towards the fat man: "What's the matter? Steve, are you going to buy me a drink?"

After Owen approached, the fat man stepped forward and punched the man with glasses: "Stinky boy, you hide it very deeply. I didn't expect the child to be so big."

Owen smiled and touched the little girl's head, "There's nothing to hide, Cindy (Candy) just went back to the country with her mother to play for a few days. Otherwise, I would usually take Cindy to Elland Road to cheer for Leeds .Come on, Cindy, call Uncle Steve."

Cindy blinked her big smart eyes, and called out sweetly: "Steve~~ Shushu."

"Hey, good evening, little Cindy." Fatty felt his heart melt from being called.

The fat brother raised his head and punched Owen again, "I didn't expect, Owen. You look like a wretched virgin, but you have such a lovely daughter."

"Shit, I don't mind drinking you down for a while, so that you can see what a real man is." Owen laughed heartily after speaking.

"Speaking of which, Cindy is still a fan of Cook. I didn't expect that brat to conquer my precious daughter in just a dozen games."

"Uh?"

The fat man lowered his head and asked little Cindy, "Little beauty, tell uncle why you like Cook?"

The little girl lowered her head shyly and thought for a while, looked at the fat man again with those big eyes and said, "Because I saw him running tirelessly on the court and on TV. Every time he ran wildly to grab the ball, When dribbling, I always think that he will take a rest next second."

"But I am disappointed every time. He always spares no effort to chase the ball when I feel like giving up. Even if it is the kind of ball that obviously looks like it will go out of bounds, he will run until the second the ball goes out of bounds. .”

"I always imagine what I would do if I were in that situation. My answer is that I may only chase the ball two or three times out of a hundred. But I saw Cook give me the answer on the court: Even if he makes a hundred choices, he will rush towards the ball a hundred times, even if there is only one in ten thousand chance to get the ball."

When the little girl said this, her big eyes flickered: "So I admire him, and I think he will definitely become a superstar."

The fat man was moved. He didn't expect to be poked in the heart by the little girl's words. He couldn't help but reached out and touched the little girl's head, "Cindy, you have a good eye."

"Of course, you don't see whose daughter Cindy is." Owen stood aside with a proud face, looking at his daughter dotingly.

"Owen, bring Cindy to the training center tomorrow. This may be Cook's last training before reporting to the England U21 youth team."

"Uh, okay. Steve."

The fat man smiled again and said to Owen, "Open your mouth, Owen, I'll invite you tonight. To celebrate my meeting lovely Cindy."

"That's what you said, Steve. Don't cry with your wallet in your hands."

Fat Brother felt a pain in his flesh, and suddenly wanted to back down.But a man can't lose his temperament when he loses anything, "Owen, what are you doing mother-in-law? You didn't say that you want me to meet a real man. Don't cry in front of your daughter for a while."

Owen gritted his teeth, "Very good, Steve."

It was another night of passionate confrontation, and the fat brother once again forgot how he got home.

When he woke up the next day, Fat Brother glanced at the time on his phone dimly.It's a risk, but fortunately I can still catch up with the training.Wait, why are there so many missed calls.Oh my god, it was all called by Xia Tian, ​​Fat Brother woke up in a flash, and sat up in a swish.

The fat man actually missed sending Xia Tian to work, and his hands were sweating all of a sudden.Fatty thought that he must calm down, and if he called Xia Tian back at this time, a gust of wind and rain would be unavoidable.

The fat man suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he sincerely sent an apology text message to Xia Tian: "I'm sorry, dear Xia Tian. Unfortunately, your Uncle Steve got drunk again last night. It's all because of that goddamn Owen, Never let me go. I'm so sorry I couldn't get you to work."

After the fat man edited the text message, he read it again and again, thinking that he was full of emotion and tears, and then he clicked the send button with satisfaction.After that, Fatty felt like he had waited for a century for so long, and he still didn't wait for Xia Tian's reply.

Fatty couldn't help thinking that Xia Tian must be busy, right?She's not still mad at me.Forget it, don't want to.I'll explain it to her when I pick her up at night.

The fat man quickly tidied himself up and rushed to the Leeds training center.

Aye and Brother Youtou are already leading the players in recovery training. After all, it is not appropriate to train too hard after a high-intensity game.

The fat man took a closer look at Byram, and found that he was recovering well.But just to be on the safe side, Fatty still called G. Southgate, head coach of the England U21 youth team, and asked him not to call Byram in this training camp.

Suo Shuai reluctantly agreed, but also proposed that another young talent from Leeds-Mowat would be recruited this time.The fat man could only agree with tears and highly praised Suo Shuai's unique insight.

Leeds' two main forwards and three main midfielders will be recruited on this international match day. The fat man only hopes that the head coaches of various countries will be more careless, so that they will have some fuel left in the tank after they come back.

The fat man was praying silently, and when he turned around, he saw Owen and Cindy outside the barbed wire.Now Cindy was sitting on Owen's shoulders, holding Dad's head and peering through the barbed wire.

Fatty followed Cindy's gaze back to the court, and he never left Cook for a second.Unexpectedly, this stinky boy gained a loyal fan so quickly, and Fat Brother really envied him to death.

After training, the players walked back to the locker room one after another.Mowat and Cook chose to stay for additional training. In the past, only Mowat practiced free kicks monotonously.Cook began to practice after wearing the captain's armband, mainly to practice defensive steps and tackles with Yevetz.

It's not that Cook didn't train hard enough before, the young man is often the one who works the hardest in training.He also wanted to practice more before, but the Leeds coaching staff was afraid that he would hurt himself if he practiced too hard, so he was not allowed to practice more.After all, Cook is only 17 years old, which is the age of growing his body.

But after Cook became the captain, he has been strongly demanding more training.The coaching staff couldn't bear his hard work and agreed to his request, but decided to keep Yevez with him, lest Cook practice too hard by himself.

At this time, only Fatty, Aye, Cook, and Mowat were left on the field.Fatty took another look outside the barbed wire, and the fans also slowly dispersed.Only Cindy, on Irving's shoulder, stared at Cook's training without blinking.

The fat man got up and walked towards the father and daughter, "Hey, Cindy, are you still home so late?"

"Steve Soma, you see, Cook hasn't given up running yet, how can I give up before him."

"Cindy, you spoke well. In order to reward you, Uncle decided to give you a gift."

The fat man turned to Cook and yelled, "Lewis, stop training. You come to me first."

Cook was obviously taken aback when he heard the call, but he still obeyed the head coach.

Cook walked up to the fat man, "What's the matter? Boss. I'm hurrying up for training."

The fat man smiled and said, "Lewis, take a break first. Come on, let me introduce you. This little girl is your die-hard fan, and her name is Cindy. Give her your autograph now."

Cook was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to go against Fatty's wishes.

"Owen, do you have a pen?"

"Of course. Shit, forgot to put Cindy in her Leeds shirt today."

"It's okay, Owen. Just let Cook sign it on Cindy's coat."

Cook took the pen and wrote on Cindy's back: "To Candy, Lewis Cook." Just when Cook finished writing and was about to return the pen to Owen, the fat man stopped him.Cook's eyes showed puzzlement in capital letters.

The fat man said to Cook Jr.: "Lewis, this is not enough. You should also add a sentence 'from a superstar, the main midfielder of England in the future'." After speaking, he blinked at Cook.

Little Cook was completely stunned, but he still blushed and made up for what the fat man said for Cindy.

Owen nodded in satisfaction after reading the signature, "Oh my God, this is amazing. Cindy will definitely tell her mother never to touch this dress again."

Cook smiled after hearing this, turned around and went back to training.What a grim man.

Fatty looked at the father and daughter who were about to die laughing, and the corners of their mouths also began to rise.Suddenly, the fat man thought of a terrible thing. He seemed to have stayed too long, and it was almost time to get off work in Xia Tian.

Before the fat man had time to say goodbye to Owen and Cindy, he ran towards the "Wild Horse".Fatty thought while running, he must make some actual compensation to make up for his fault for Xia Tian.

The fat man couldn't figure out how to do it well for a while, and looked back at the excited father and daughter, feeling that what he was going through right now was so wonderful, he turned his head and ran even more vigorously.
