Team Spirit

Chapter 16: No George Pig, but Eukaryotic Land

"Let's go to the convenience store and get something to eat. Ashley Yang's brothers are my brothers. I'll pay. Order whatever you want." Lu Kai pulled Brother Yang. "Our pearl bobo milk tea here is delicious. Would you like a cup?"

Ten-year-old Xiao Yang was so happy that he didn't even want to apply to Watford's youth training camp anymore, but wanted to apply to Dartford.

Ashley Young also felt proud, completely unaware that today's meal would be deducted from his weekly salary.

A few people had just ordered something in the store when Alfred's anxious voice came from outside: "Oh no, Kai, something bad has happened. George..."

Alfred was not paying attention and tripped over the threshold, rolling to the ground in a very embarrassing state.

Lu Kai quickly helped Tu Yuanfei up: "What's going on?"

Alfred gritted his teeth and said, "George's wife called and said she wasn't feeling well today and won't be playing football!"

Ashley Yang's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "WTF! This bastard must have done this on purpose! He's just jealous of Lu Kai's performance on the court!"

Jiang Mengyun's hand trembled as she poured the milk tea: "What? How could he do this?"

Emily, the team reporter, was furious: "How shameless! This behavior is terrible! He will be despised by the entire team!"

But now that things have come to this, no amount of scolding will solve the problem.

Lu Kai frowned slightly, but unlike Alfred, he was not panicking. Instead, after thinking for a while, he said, "It's okay. Without Zhang the Butcher, do we still have to eat hairy pigs?"

"Let Kylo start."

Alfred hesitated a bit. "Kylo is already warming up, but he can't play as a playmaker at all. He can only barely be a defensive midfielder."

Lu Kai's eyes went blank. "That's enough. Today we're playing 4-2-3-1. I'll drop back to the attacking midfielder position and be responsible for organizing the midfield! The midfielders just have to defend well."

"I've been playing like this in the past few games, and my style of play is pretty much the same as before. My teammates should be able to adapt to it."

"Please go and inform everyone and calm everyone down."

Alfred then went to the "air locker room" behind the stadium where everyone was currently gathered.

George wants to prove through this game that the team can't do without him, right?

it is good.

But Lu Kai wanted to use this game to prove that other teams were just as good, or even better!
This kind of drama of forcing the palace is okay for a true core player like Victor, but it is ridiculous for someone like George who has no idea of ​​his own abilities to use it!

[Ding! You've played as a front midfielder for the team for the first time. You've received the Black Iron Skill Chest.]

[Ding! You've obtained Basic Long Pass - Black Iron]

[Basic Long Pass·Black Iron: Your long pass ability is slightly improved]

You see, the system is unhappy with George.

This skill comes at the perfect time.

……

Soon, the game begins.

In one of the few seats in the stadium, there was a man wrapped tightly in a blanket, watching the game with a cold eye.

In the third minute, Hartley, the team that attacked today, took the lead in launching an attack.

Their winger passed the ball back to the bottom line, and the midfielder followed up with a shot.

Blocked by Kylo's body.

Kailo, who got the chance to start, fought very hard.

Due to the lack of an organizing core, Dartford was suppressed by Hartley in the first ten minutes.

In the twelfth minute, Lu Kai passed the ball back and forth with the full-back, adjusted his position, then received the ball, turned around and sent a long pass.

【Basic Long Pass·Black Iron】!
The football accurately found Oliver in front.

Unfortunately, Hartley's center back suppressed Oliver, and his goalkeeper then rushed out to confiscate the ball.

Oliver gave Lu Kai a thumbs up, indicating that the responsibility lies with him.

In the 17th minute, Lu Kai received the ball in the center circle and started passing the ball continuously, organizing the team to avoid the opponent's frontcourt pressure.

Every time he passed the ball, he actively moved and always provided his teammates with a passing route.

At the same time, he doesn't stick to the ball and doesn't give the opposing players around him the opportunity to steal the ball.

As a result, the other party tried to grab it several times but failed, so they gave up. It was only then that both sides discovered that Lu Kai, number 11, was the one in charge of the organization on the Dartford side.

Head coach Hartley was surprised. He looked at the data collected by the team before the game.

Isn’t this number 11 player a forward?

How can I organize the game well even if I retreat to play as a front midfielder?
No wonder he has scored nine goals and eight assists in the league so far, and is considered a rising star in the Kent Premier League.

It seems like he is not even fifteen years old?

Such a great talent doesn't have a place in Arsenal's youth team?

Just as the head coach was daydreaming, Lu Kai keenly noticed To Madera's intention of movement.

boom!
Lu Kai made a long pass to the right side of the penalty area.

Relatively deep.

Logically, there couldn't be any Dartford players there.

but……

"So fast! Dartford's right-wing player is so fast! He sprints into the penalty area without the ball..."

Looking at the football falling from the sky, To Madera knew that he might not be able to stop the ball with his own ball-stopping skills.

Might as well just give him a random kick.

boom!
To Madeira volleyed the ball.

Kicked it!
But it was precisely because of this that the football went into the net.

Goalkeeper Hartley was stunned.

"GOAL! One to zero! Dartford takes the lead!"

"Lu Kai, also known as Lukeham, made a long pass, and To Madeira volleyed the ball into the goal."

“Although the latter’s shot was full of luck, it must be said that being able to appear in that position itself is a kind of strength!”

"Lu Kai's strategic planning made it impossible for people to feel that Dartford's midfield core George did not play today."

"Can you please stop explaining in my ear!" The tightly wrapped fan protested to Emily beside him.

Emily shrugged. She had developed a habit when she was little, and writing always felt awkward if she didn't read it out loud.

She is writing down the details of the competition and will send it to China after it is over.

She is now not only the editor of The Sun, but also the European contact of China Sports Weekly.

A follow-up column has been opened for the Dartford Royal VCD, which has been widely praised.

"No, your voice sounds a bit like Joe..." Emily looked up.

The man wrapped in the condom is no longer there.

……

In the final period of the first half, Hartley launched an attack.

Their wingers have strong dribbling ability and made their way all the way to the front of the penalty area.

In a hurry, Kailo knocked down the opponent, giving him a free kick in a good position.

As a result, the opponent took a tactical free kick, and the defender scored with a header.

One to one, equalizing the score.

Kylo felt very guilty about this.

There are reasons for the substitution.

Even though he has a good defensive attitude, his ability is quite limited.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and started the game again.

Ashley Young showed off his personal abilities right from the start.
