Chapter 172

On a slightly smaller training ground not far from Li Rui's training ground, two boys were sweating profusely.

Fabian Delph stepped on the ball, blew a whistle, then poked the ball forward with his left foot, chased towards the ball by himself, and pulled the ball when Jonathan Weber intercepted it One buckle and it breaks through.

"The 190th time!" Fabian Delph sat down on the ball, lifted his sweat-soaked jersey, wiped his forehead, unscrewed the mineral water bottle on the ground, and took a big gulp.

"Get up, come again!" Jonathan panted heavily. With a height of 175cm, he is not short for a 14-year-old boy. This seemingly strong boy has a heart stronger than his physique.

"Forget it, Jonathan." Fabian Delph panted, and said to himself, I'm still tired if you're not tired.

"No, every 200 times, so we must continue." Jonathan said in an unquestionable tone, and then, seeing Fabian Delph standing up and coming over with the ball, Jonathan immediately rushed over without hesitation. This time, Fabian Delph suddenly made an emergency stop, and then pulled the inside of his left foot, and the ball rolled past Jonathan. He just wanted to go around from the other side, but unexpectedly, Jonathan reacted in advance , the body moved half a step, stuck in position...

Under the acceleration of Fabian Delphi, he bumped into Jonathan's body with his head, and fell on the turf. He looked at Jonathan in surprise, obviously not believing that Jonathan had made a prediction in advance to stop him.

"Luck, Jonathan, you must have been lucky."

Jonathan himself didn't seem to think that he actually stopped Delphi's man from passing the ball. He just reacted intuitively and moved his body ahead of time. He didn't expect it to be successful. The team is a recognized talent, coach Mick. Jones even thinks he will be another Richardson of Leeds United.

…………

The 14-year-old Jonathan has a figure that is envied by most teammates and peers. He is 175 in height, weighs 75 kg, and has a dark skin. The boy's face still has a childish look. As a central defender, he still lacks a bit of vigor, but he is still young.

However, while God gave Jonathan a good physique, he did not seem to give him a player-specific talent. In the 14-year-old echelon of Leeds United, Jonathan is not outstanding. His talent can only be said to be average, and he looks a bit dull. This kid was out of the team one day and was eliminated. I guess no one will be surprised.

Therefore, Delphi was surprised that Jonathan had predicted his actions in advance. He decided to do it again. To be honest, if his friend could really perform well, he would be happy instead. Of course he didn't want Jonathan to be Eliminated, that's why he agreed to help Jonathan practice more.

…………

Li Rui didn't expect that the two boys he had seen were practicing here. He and Jamie Jones had been watching for 10 minutes. It didn't look like a 14-year-old boy, which surprised Li Rui. However, what really surprised Li Rui was that the kid named Jonathan, despite his failures and being teased by Delphi, was still full of fighting spirit. God knows, Where does this kid's self-confidence come from?

"Jonathan is a natural and typical English centre-back," said Jamie Jones.

"Well, Mr. Jones, I admit that Jonathan's fighting spirit is the most exuberant boy I have ever seen." Li Rui was a little speechless. Li Rui was only under 20 years old, and he was quite polite to the Leeds United star at the beginning. , However, when the old man boasted that he was not as good as him, Li Rui stopped being polite to him, and Jamie Jones didn't seem to mind it, "But, what does this have to do with me?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Jamie Jones glanced at Li Rui dissatisfied, "When you practice extra training at night, wouldn't it be better to have two helpers, that kid Delphi, that black kid, can help you Pass the ball and cooperate with you. As for the big man, a natural defender, he can help you practice, at least you don't have to practice rainbows in the air..."

Li Rui was speechless for a while. The old man said the matter as if he had taken advantage of himself. In fact, according to this method, he was also the training partner of these two boys in disguise. To put it bluntly, yes Half a master, as a first-team player, Li Rui being the master of these two 14-year-old children is not a boast.

…………

However, after Li Rui thought about it, it seemed that he really needed two helpers. The reason why he didn't ask Richardson and his fellows to practice together was because he knew that those fellows would not give up and relax, hey Pi's time and extra training with himself, now, these two echelon children under the age of 14 seem to be a good choice.

However, no matter how Li Rui thinks about this matter, he feels that he is a bit at a disadvantage. Moreover, the attitude expressed by this Mr. Jamie Jones seems to be determined by himself. You must know that Li Rui has never had a relationship with this person before. The coach of the echelon under the age of 14 has contacted him, and this is his most depressing place.

"Mr. Jones, it seems that we don't know each other very well." Li Rui muttered.

However, what Jamie Jones said next left Li Rui speechless, "In this training ground, there are only three of you who will practice extra. You have no choice."

…………

"Go on!" Li Rui picked up the football lightly, and the ball flew towards Delphi.

"Li?" The sudden appearance of Li Rui surprised the two little guys who were concentrating on training. They never thought that they would meet Li Rui at this time. Shouted, "Good job!" The chest stopped to control the ball and stepped on it.

"Starting tonight, I will train with the two of you." Li Rui said with a smile. He glanced at the grove beside the training field. He knew that Mr. Jamie Jones must not have left there. Only then did Li Rui know that Jamie Jones had been silently watching the training of these two boys, but the two boys didn't know about it. This moved Li Rui a little. This old man with a weird temper, The legendary star of Leeds United is really cute.

"I was already planning to give up Jonathan." This is what Jamie Jones said to Li Rui. In Jamie Jones' view, this big man has an enviable physique, but unfortunately his defensive awareness is too ordinary. In Leeds United Youth training usually means being eliminated, but it would be a pity to give up. Later, when Jamie Jones saw that Li Rui often practiced by himself, he had an idea and thought of letting Delphi and Jonathan be Li Rui. Rui's method of sparring, Jamie Jones seems to know with certainty that Li Rui will not refuse.

Seeing Fabian Delphi and Jonathan Weber stunned after seeing him, Li Rui clapped his palms to attract their attention, and said with a smile, "Why? You are not welcome."

…………

Jonathan insisted on completing the confrontation training with Delphi, which made Li Rui see the stubbornness of this strong guy up close for the first time.

Delphi rushed towards Jonathan with the ball. Delphi's dribbling speed was very fast, and the frequency of his legs back and forth was very high. The momentum was quite amazing!
After the two approached, Delphi swayed deftly, showing good physical flexibility and skillful technique.

"Fabian, I won't let you pass." Jonathan had a serious expression on his face. As long as this big man is in training or competition, his expression is serious. Jonathan didn't step out blindly and stabilized his center of gravity. , backing away slowly.

"Hey..." Delphi didn't take Jonathan seriously at all. In his opinion, it was pure luck that Jonathan broke the football under his feet. Now, seeing his role model Li Rui watching beside him, Delphi Fee is determined to show off her skills.

Delphi swayed his upper body to the left, and the sway was very large. He flicked the ball to the left, and then he was about to pull the ball back, ready to smash the ball.

However, what surprised Delphi was that Jonathan had stretched out his left foot beforehand, and poked the ball to the side first, and the ball was poked away.

Li Rui's eyes lit up next to him. Although he is a striker, he can tell that the timing of Jonathan's poke just now was well grasped. He suddenly felt a little absurd. The talent in the coach's mouth is not very good, so what kind of talent is good, I think it is true, if the talent is really bad, Jamie Jones will not take pains to cultivate it.

Li Rui was also very happy. After all, Jonathan's strength is not bad, so it's interesting to practice with him like this.

Delphi still couldn't believe it. It's not that he hasn't been intercepted by Jonathan before, but, like tonight, it's rare for Jonathan to make such an early prediction and steal the ball so beautifully.

…………

Li Rui let Delphi and Jonathan come up to defend him. He stepped on the ball and turned around smartly. After wiping Delphi away, he happened to face Jonathan. He took half a step out with his left foot, and at the same time, his upper body shook a few times. Before Jonathan could react, his legs quickly clamped the ball, and the back of his instep lifted in the opposite direction. Jonathan's head flew over, and at the same time, Li Rui immediately sped up, twisting his waist and was about to run past Jonathan, suddenly Ding Delphi ran over and carried it on his shoulder, Li Rui, who was caught off guard, suddenly fell into the mud, the football Also to Jonathan's feet.

"Foul! Foul!" Just when Li Rui was experiencing the thrill of breaking through, he was a little out of breath when he was hit all of a sudden. He got up and saw Delphi and Jonathan clapping excitedly. Obviously, the two The two guys were also excited to be able to work together to break their own ball, and Li Rui was also happy. He knew that although he was suspected of fouling, he did not break through. This is a fact and cannot be quibbled.

"Come again!" Li Rui is also in good spirits. It is rare to have someone to practice with. The three of them are all in high spirits. Delphi and Jonathan have gradually entered the state. They seem to have forgotten that Li Rui is the one who is in the limelight in the Premier League. They are shooters. Although the two are 5 years younger than Li Rui, it seems that this is not a problem. The practice is to break through, and Li Rui did not use his physical advantage to fight hard. Besides, Jonathan's physique, he is said to be 18 years old , it is estimated that no one will doubt it.

***********
The orange curtains are shaking with the wind. The summer in Leeds is actually relatively cool. Now, it has entered September, which is not bad.

Today, with Fabian Delphi and Jonathan Weber, two boys who are 5 years younger than me, I was a little too excited about the training. I came home almost an hour later than usual. Li Rui didn't make dinner by himself. Just buy instant noodles at the convenience store and come back, eat whatever you want and you'll be fine.

After dinner, he turned on the computer, first habitually read the news on the club’s official website, then sneaked into the forum of the Leeds United fan club like a thief, and secretly voted for himself in the selection of the fans’ favorite player. I browsed some posts in the fan forum, and then left in a sneaky way.

The coffee spoon was slowly stirred, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of coffee. Li Rui laughed too. He was probably the only player who voted for himself in the fan forum. Li Rui had no other intentions. He is using this kind of behavior to cheer himself up. In Li Rui's logic, if he doesn't support himself or recognize himself, why should he ask himself to do better so that others will recognize him.

I have to say that although this approach is a bit nonsense, it still makes sense.

…………

In the group, a head of Garfield popped out, and it was Alan Lennon who spoke.

This group was established by a few young people from Leeds United. This proposal was put forward by Milner, and everyone immediately agreed with it. They all thought it was a good proposal and it was convenient for everyone to contact. We can discuss it together for a while, besides, to put it bluntly, if someone is having a quarrel, you can also make a scene in the group, scold a few words, and it will be fine, they are all young people, with low face, and it is not easy to say it in person , it will be easier to talk online.

The role of the network is still quite large.

"Brothers, I think, I'm in love." Alan Lennon made a shy expression after saying this.

"My God, didn't you just fall in love last month?"

"This time, who do you want to harm? Say, is it a small star or a small model." The topic of Alan Lennon immediately detonated the originally quiet group. Li Rui's English typing is relatively slow, so most people When I was there, I was just watching and not talking. Now that I saw the group being so lively, I couldn’t help but curse secretly. They are really a group of guys who are full of energy and have nowhere to vent. Did you scold me?gosh.

…………

"I am pure, purer than the first drop of dew in the morning in the Alps." Alan Lennon's words are really nasty enough.

Li Rui was overjoyed, took a sip of coffee, and started typing.

Li Rui himself is doing stock trading when he has nothing to do. Now, many players are investing in stocks and buying and selling funds. Li Rui was pulled into the market by Richardson. Of course, those big-name players are all managed by professionals. , Li Rui and the others are just playing for themselves now. Although it is just a small fight, there are profits and losses, but, as Richardson said, try the water first, so as not to understand anything in the future, and be caught Those unscrupulous brokers cheated and didn't know it.

Now, except for Pennant, these people in the group have invested a little money in the stock market. In the beginning, as soon as the training is over, a few guys will hurry to check the market on the Internet in the lounge of the base. , making money is not the goal, the key is that the life of the players is relatively boring, and a few young people also have something to do, so they want to be fresh.

…………

"When a girl falls in love, it's like a female stockholder entering the market. When someone touches her hand, it's like she's falling for the first time. Yay, I'm so nervous. Aaron don't want it..." Li Rui checked the grammar for no mistakes And word, sent out.

"Yeah, Aaron, don't do it." Milner immediately followed up. Everyone was amused by Li Rui's words, and Milner came out to make a fuss. It is conceivable that everyone was in front of the computer, happy It's shaky.

Richardson is a relatively professional stock speculator among the few people. At the same time, this guy is also a veteran in the field of love. He immediately followed Li Rui's words, "Well, then, I was suddenly touched on the chest and buttocks, as if It’s the second fall, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah it’s terrible ah, you don’t want it Aaron, what are you doing…bad Aaron.”

Hahahaha!

Li Rui almost squirted the coffee in his mouth onto the computer screen, barely swallowed it, was choked enough, and coughed violently, this is too good to take, talent.

…………

At this time, the silent goalkeeper Carson spoke. This man let everyone see what it means to be a muffled man!

"Then, the last step, being put on the bed, was the third fall, and it hit the limit directly. Oh, oh, Aaron, it's so painful... Allen said, dear, bear with it, if you fall again, you will fall out I'm so excited..."

Puchi!

Li Rui couldn't take it anymore, turned his head, and sprayed all the coffee on the floor, this, this guy is too powerful.

Just like Li Rui, everyone was stunned. At this time, a group of prostitutes discovered that there was such a boring bastard hidden in the group. Everyone sighed, and Milner even covered his face and wept. Emotionally, I have been wronged all the time, and I am not the most boring one.

"By the way, Alan, that girl... what floor did you fall to?" Carson asked again quietly.
