Chapter 20
"Li, that's a great pass."
Beckford shouted at Li Lei with a thumbs up at the training ground of Leicester City.
Just now, Li Lei's pass put the ball under his feet, but he failed to hold the ball down at the moment of shooting, and it went high.
Looking at the football that flew over the crossbar, the somewhat frustrated Beckford did not forget to praise Li Lei, indicating that it was not his fault.
After all, the responsibility lies with him. Taking the blame and taking the blame are different.
Yesterday, the head coach Pearson had already explained that Li Lei should have more contact with other forwards in the next few days to run in.
In the training match on the second day, Li Lei began to partner with Beckford on the front line, while Vardy was in their half.
Facing Beckford who failed to score, Li Lei also responded with encouraging applause.
For him, partnering with anyone would not affect his performance, but in this way, Vardy's opportunity would be taken by others.
But this was the coach's decision again. No one in the team could disobey the coach's decision, and he could only do nothing to help.
Today's training match is still mainly for recovery, indirectly cultivating the tacit understanding between the players and maintaining the ball sense, and no high-intensity training is arranged.
After the training, Li Lei and other players went to the shower room to wash off the smelly sweat on their bodies.
"Brother, you can't just ignore me!" Coming to Li Lei's side, Vardy complained to him
"You have changed. You have forgotten me, the old one, when you have a new one."
Looking at Vardy's resentful expression, Li Lei said helplessly:"Brother, you can't be so heartless when you speak."
"If it weren't for my assists in the last game, how could you have scored two goals?"
"Wow, first in the scorer list!"
When he said this, Li Lei showed an exaggerated and envious expression on his face.
"Tied for first place, tied for first place. I'll treat you to a good meal when I have time."
Looking at Li Lei's exaggerated expression, Vardy said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"A promise is a promise"
"Hey! I made you miss it again. I mean, don't forget that I am still on the front line!"
Looking at Li Lei walking away, Vardy could only shout at his back.
"No problem!"
Li Lei said, waving his hand without looking back.
For the next two days, Li Lei was training with the strikers.
He conducted targeted offensive cooperation exercises with Beckford, including receiving passes and connecting attacks.
Through constant tacit cooperation, they tried to find the best offensive opportunity.
There was nothing wrong with Li Lei's pass, but Beckford's shot was always a little bit short.
On the second day, Li Lei focused on cooperating with Harvey Barnes.
They conducted repeated cooperation drills on the training ground, focusing mainly on the combination of speed and technology.
Li Lei used his speed advantage to carry out a series of quick passes and cuts with Barnes, trying to break the opponent's defense.
Through frequent passes and changes of position, the defense is enhanced. The tacit understanding and mutual understanding between each other.
Li Lei had a fulfilling and enjoyable two days, and he has added a few killer moves.
Time came to the afternoon of August 21st, and head coach Pearson announced the list of players for tomorrow's game against Charlton.
Fortunately, Li Lei and Vardy appeared on the list again.
Regarding this selection, neither Li Lei nor the others showed more joy, as if it was an ordinary thing.
This time they challenged Charlton away, which required them to set off early today and go to Greenwich, southeast of London.
Sitting on the bus to London again, it made him feel like a world away.
The last time he walked this road was when he came for a trial. The two moods were completely different.
"Brother, look at the scenery on the road and see if it is familiar to you."Valdi beside him asked in a low voice
"Of course, brother, I remember you told me at that time that you were a star player."
Li Lei's voice was a little loud, and everyone in the car looked at them.
"Hey, bro, it was just a joke, don't take it to heart."Vardy said with embarrassment
"However, who would have thought that a semi-professional player like me could play in the Champions League?"
"Yes! I feel the same as you."
"Come on, brother!"
Soon after, the bus arrived at the hotel that had been rented in advance.
After getting off the bus, Li Lei looked up at the hotel and thought to himself,"Not bad!"
Just as he was stunned, his teammates behind him pushed him and brought him back.
Li Lei also made corresponding understandings about the opponent he will challenge away tomorrow.
The strength of this team located in London should not be underestimated. It has gone through different stages of development in the past few decades.
This team in London also has its own honors. It once won the top league of the English Football League in the 1930s and 1940s, but later declined.
They were promoted from the English League One to the English Championship last season, and they were successfully promoted as champions.
After the upgrade, the team made great reinforcements in the transfer period that has just passed, buying Razak from Manchester City and David from Tottenham Hotspur. Barton.
The ambition of the team can also be seen from this. They are ambitious and are not going for relegation at all.
In the last game against Birmingham, they tenaciously equalized the score after falling behind by one goal, and finally drew 1:1 away.
Tomorrow's game will definitely not be easy, and Li Lei is mentally prepared.
After a night of nothing, the next day quickly came, and the players who woke up naturally were full of energy.
The game will start at 18:45 in the afternoon, and the arrangements for the day will mainly focus on tactical explanations and watching information videos.
As time slowly came to the afternoon, Li Lei and his teammates boarded the bus to the stadium.
Along the way, fans of the two teams began to gather towards the Valley Stadium in the southeast of London.
"Old White, you finally can't sit still anymore! Haha!" Outside the game, Yanes joked to Old White in front of him
"I just want to see what kind of performance these little guys can have that you guys can brag about them so much!" Old White said indifferently.
"This Charlton is not easy to play against. Don't make me go there in vain."
"Don't worry! Believe me, you will be conquered by these guys after watching one game, don't you think?"
Yanes said confidently, and asked his companions for help.
The Leicester City fans who gathered together seemed to have found an organization, and joined in and headed for the stadium.
Compared with the home court, Leicester City fans were the weaker side, and the stadium was filled with a large number of Charlton fans.
It can also be seen from this that Charlton is a hot team.
