Frenzy [football]

"I asked where you went! Now, please answer my question!"

Although when facing Lei Yi, the French coach can always be said to be strict, and you can even say that he is a bit unreasonable.But no matter what, this was the first time Lei Yi encountered such a terrifying Nicholas.When he said it, you could hear the rage that couldn't be ignored in every syllable.

But Lei Yi, who had an unpleasant fight with the other party this morning, did not choose to give in blindly after the initial daze.After watching the third division game that made him feel uncomfortable, he said to his current coach: "I don't want to answer your question."

Lei Yi originally thought that after he said these words, he would hear Nicholas on the other end of the phone scolding him fiercely, but he didn't.After a moment of silence, he heard Nikolai say to him: "You disappoint me."

[You let me down. 】

Lei Yi heard these words when the sultry September wind in Rome was blowing again in the empty stadium.But for some reason, such words made the feverish Lei Yi feel more angry than the previous angry questioning.

And this is of course because in his opinion, his current coach has never placed any hope in him, so how can that person have the right to say "disappointed" to him!But the person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't want the conversation between them to stop with this sentence.Therefore, the other party's voice sounded a little cold at first, but it sounded again with a hint of aggression.

"And you make me feel ashamed of you. Because you don't even remember being a professional footballer! Now that you have a fever, you should go to the team doctor instead of turning off your phone or not answering the manager's call. Running around the world behind everyone's back! Even the students in the youth training camp know what to do in this situation! Now, let me ask you again, where have you been?"

Listening to those words, Lei Yi looked at the stadium jointly owned by Lazio and Roma, and then he just said an answer that seemed to have nothing to do with the other party's question: "I'm sorry, sir. It's just that I didn't Went to the youth academy, not even a day."

After that, Lei Yi said again: "Besides, I didn't skip training, I can go wherever I want."

After finishing speaking, Lei Yi hung up the phone, turned off the phone again, left without telling anyone that he had been here, and returned to London.

It's just that for a player, making such a move is not without paying the slightest price.It was from this day that he fell into a complete cold war with his club coach.

In the ensuing match against Malmö in the first round of the Champions League group stage belonging to Tottenham, Lei Yi, who had just created the most depressing record of 242 minutes without scoring in his career, was easily excluded from the 23. Outside the National People's Congress list.And at the pre-match press conference of this round of the league, Nikolai's explanation of this incident also made people unable to find any problems.

"Ha has the flu and is in bed," he said.

The European Golden Boot, who Tottenham spent a lot of money on, was excluded from the 23-man squad by the coach after six rounds of the league failed.This incident should have caused an uproar in the entire British sports media.After such news is exposed, they will naturally write a lot of large-scale reports, "ha was given up by the coach, or will leave the team this winter".Then, they are likely to follow the usual routine and start thinking for Tottenham who they should buy after selling Ha to fill the vacancy on the front line.But if ha is excluded from the squad due to injury, then of course things like this will not happen.

Some media gave news on their social network accounts that Ha will miss the seventh round of the Premier League match between Tottenham and Stoke City due to illness.Other than that, they didn't give this matter any extra space and related reports.

Originally, all of this should be all, but who would have thought that after the seventh round of the Premier League three days later, Leiy ha, who received much attention when he came here, entered the 23-man squad, but did not Did not enter the starting 11 list.

I missed the game three days ago because of the flu, and I sat on the bench for 10 minutes in the game three days later. Although such a thing will make the British media, which is full of troubles, smell a possibility There must be a taste of big news, but if it must be said that ha has not fully recovered from the flu so he stayed on the bench for 10 minutes, this explanation does not seem so unconvincing.

After all, it was only three days, not thirteen days.

But what if... he was placed on the bench in the eighth round of the Premier League six days later?

"After eight rounds of the league, there was no harvest, and the former European golden boy's trip to the Premier League ended dismal? "" Decentralization of the bench, the coach's patience has run out! "

"The Most Expensive Substitute Player in History! "

"genius?idiot?Time will tell everything"

"This is the miracle boy who has conquered the Portuguese Super League, La Liga and Serie A, and now he has broken his dream of the Premier League" In fact, after Lei Yi made his debut at Tottenham, his performance in the 10 minutes of the game was lackluster His performance has already made the British media, who originally had high hopes for him, put away a considerable part of their praise for him.Then, when Lei Yi, who had almost never had a record of not scoring in 120 minutes before, kept refreshing his record of ball shortages, some voices of doubt and even criticism kept popping up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

As many players who have played in the Premier League have said, the media here can praise you as a football genius in the papers one week, and they can also describe you as a football genius in the papers next week. Insufferable stupidity.

It is impossible for the media here to always praise a certain player.Moreover, for any player with excellent reputation and high popularity, as long as he has a sluggish performance for more than a certain period of time, the media will "fire at him" without hesitation.

The only difference is that some players will be protected by the club in the face of such accusations, while others will not.And the difference between the two would of course be huge.

Obviously, in the past few weeks, the Tottenham Club has been very protective of Lei Yi. Even Tottenham coach Nicola will be very tough in protecting his players every time the media speaks against Lei Yi. .But now Ha's delegating to the bench has made the media smell a hint of hot news that is about to appear.

Not to mention, when Lei Yi appeared on the bench twice, neither he nor coach Nicola had eye contact.Especially Lei Yi, he didn't even turn his face in the direction of his coach.

For the media, this will of course be a very important signal worthy of in-depth study.

And just as many newspapers and media are focusing on this matter, the successive poor performances of the Premier League king in the last transfer window after transferring to Tottenham may have made the coach intolerable for him, and even the "Mirror" still When reporting on this incident with a photo of a stranded whale, the British "News of the World" gave a completely different possibility.

"Is there something hidden inside? ha Suspected to anger the coach! "

——[In the past week or even longer, Tottenham coach Nicola has not spoken a single word to Ha, and there seems to be an extremely serious conflict between the two...] London, England,

Tottenham Hotspur training base.

It's 06:30pm and a full day of training has come to an end at Tottenham Hotspur's training ground.It is precisely because of this that Noda's training base looks a bit empty, but in such a wide field, you can hear the sound of football being kicked vigorously.

The Tottenham right-back, who was born in England and grew up here, returned after leaving the training ground after leaving a gift for his girlfriend that day in the dressing room.Then, he was attracted by that voice. When he walked to the training field not too far from the locker room, he saw the one with his jersey number "11" printed on the training uniform, in front of him. Mr. European Golden Boot who has been caught in the quagmire recently.

At this time, the right winger, who had only been in Tottenham for more than a month and could not even speak English well, was training free kicks by himself.

Although he is not familiar with Ha, who started his football career from Brazil, Tottenham's right back Glenn knows that this summer's new signing has great footwork, and considering Ha's age, he His free kick can be called superb.But now ha frequently kicked free kicks.

Maybe it was because it was so weird, Glenn stopped to watch for a long time, and just watched the three free kicks kicked by Lei Wing again, he understood that this was Ha trying a new free kick.And his sight also made Lei Yi, who had no distractions, notice his existence, and turned to look at him like this.

Seeing that he had been spotted, the tall Englishman didn't dodge, just smiled at Lei Yi, and then walked over, intending to say hello to him and chat a few words before going to the locker room.

"Are you practicing a new way of kicking free kicks?" Glenn stepped forward and asked such a sentence, but it was only after he said it that he realized that his new teammate's English might not be good enough for them to communicate with each other. Communicate smoothly.

But before Glenn tried to explain what he just said in a slower speed, he heard Lei Yi say to him in English with some Latin accents: "Yes. I think Let's see if I can kick the leaf ball."

As we all know, Ha, who is only 21 years old this year, has an amazing sense of the ball, and his skills with his feet are also surprisingly good.And his control over football is even more amazing.It is precisely because of this that when he takes a free kick, he can always make arbitrary arcs and rotations in this sufficient space, which makes it impossible for the opponent's goalkeeper to guard against.

But even so, the fallen leaf ball is still a technical difficulty that he has never overcome after years of hard training.

For a while, he had even given up practicing deciduous ball.But when he fell into a trough in his career that made him feel unprepared and at a loss, he would want to open the "Principles and Practice Methods of Broken Leaf Ball" that he had read countless times, as if he had opened the book again. It's like a dream in my childhood.

And in Lei Yi's heart, there will always be an idea that he won't mention to others: "If I can even learn the most difficult broken leaf ball, then the trough in front of me will definitely disappear. '

But this free kick stunt that few people in European football can really learn is obviously not so easy to learn.And the current Lei Yi will not lose his temper after trying twenty times without success like he did when he was still at Atletico Madrid.

Hearing this unexpected answer with a double meaning, Glenn and Lei Yi smiled, and then he and Lei Yi casually chatted about the weather.And then...he obviously raised his foot to go to the locker room, but he backed away after a few steps. The tall defender thought for a moment, and then asked Lei Yi: "What did I say?" Can you understand English?"

Regarding this, Lei Yi thought about it seriously, and then told him: "I can't, but I can try to listen."

After getting this answer, Glenn nodded, then changed to the simplest words, combined with his movements and said to Lei Yi: "Now our whole team knows that there is a conflict between you and the coach, and this conflict It has affected our daily training to a certain extent. Of course, I don’t want to accuse you of anything ha. I just want to say that no matter what happens between you and the coach in private, it is very bad to let this state continue Sensible."

Lei Yi couldn't quite understand every word in the words Glenn said, but when they were all connected together, and then looked at the expressions and eyes of the other party when he said these, he could probably understand the other party's meaning .

This made Lei Yi look into the opponent's eyes, and after a long silence, he nodded slightly.But his teammate at Tottenham could understand that Ha's nodding this time did not mean that he agreed with him, but only meant that the other party understood his words.

But Glenn was not in a hurry, he just said: "It seems that you understand what I mean? Good, then I will continue. Maybe you think he is too strict with you, more than everyone else. A few. But based on our relationship over the past month, I don’t think that Mr. Nicholas is actually a person who is so cold that he can’t communicate with him. He’s just the kind of coach who is not used to being friends with players…”

"You...you wait, let me think about it again." At first, Lei Yi could roughly understand the meaning of the other party, but as the other party spoke faster and faster, he felt that his hearing and brain were not enough, so He motioned for the other party to listen, wait for him, let him chew what the other party just said, chew it and think about it.

And Glenn didn't care, he just stood there waiting for Lei Yi, and patiently repeated when the other party was half thinking about it and felt confused and asked him to repeat a certain sentence from the words just said .In the end, he said to Lei Yi: "I think that the coach may prefer the role of a controller than a friend. If you figure this out, getting along and communicating with him may not be so difficult."

In this regard, although Lei Yi did not fully understand the meaning of this sentence, he still thanked this teammate who had conveyed his kindness to him.But after that, he couldn't continue to put all his attention on the football under his feet.

Looking at the still bright sky, he sat down on the ground, and then lay down on the lawn with his right hand clenched into a fist, beating on the ground time after time...

He is 21 years old.

He went to Brazil when he was 17 and put on the professional jersey from the very beginning. At the age of [-], he represented his country in his first World Cup, where he played Tigos and Enzo.Time passed quickly, he started his campaign in European football in Portugal, and he won a surprising number of fans in Spain.Later, he found a "home" in Italy where he wanted to settle down. The nest of that home had a badge of a blue eagle.

From the time he decided to go to Brazil to play, he always grasped every game he could play.He was always in a rush, in a rush to win every win he could.He knew that if it wasn't like this, he would definitely not be able to become the "king of the ball".

But now, he is 21 years old, but he hasn't finished shooting for almost two months, and he doesn't know how to get back to his previous state in a team that is completely unfamiliar to him.

He knows that his good friend Tigos has led the Premier League scorer list this season, and his shot has also become the best goal of the month.He also knows that Real Madrid, which has Enzo and Javier, is now No.1 in the La Liga standings. He even watched the highlights of Enzo's through ball in the new season yesterday.At the same time, he also knew that Duncan, who had won him in the selection of the European Golden Boy, was leading Hertha Berlin, which he played for, to launch another impact towards the quarter-finals of this year's Champions League as a leader.

He knows, he knows.

Although, when he was not so good, his friends would not come to talk to him about it, but he just knew it.

He knew that when he was wading through the mud and couldn't move forward, his friends were running, running to the champions' thrones.
