Chapter 10
  Because he needed to further observe and learn Berbatov's playing habits, Leo deliberately took the initiative to approach the opponent.

Brother Xiaosha also invited two younger brothers, Leo and Bell, to his home.

This is a treatment that many other Tottenham teammates who have worked with him for more than a season have not enjoyed.

Beba's residence in London was not very luxurious, which surprised both Leo and the others when they saw it.

"This is nothing. I don't plan to live here for a long time. It's just a temporary residence."

"Dimita, do you live alone?"

Leo noticed that there seemed to be no trace of female life in the house, but it was so tidy that it didn't look like a place where a bachelor lived.

Berbatov gave the two young men a smile that every man could understand, and Leo didn't ask any more ignorant questions.

In fact, Berbatov had already "hooked up" with Bulgarian supermodel Vilinova at this time.

Almost every weekend the beauty known as "Bulgaria's sexiest woman" will appear at Berba's home in London.

Obviously, as Bulgaria's biggest star, Berbatov is having fun.

Maybe he himself would not have thought that in a year he would settle down, marry Elena and soon get a lovely daughter.

"Sit anywhere and just treat yourself as your own home. What would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee? Or juice?
  Forget about drinking, you are still too young, hahaha! "

The legal drinking age in the UK is 18, but children over the age of 5 can drink legally if under the guidance of their parents.

Rules are rules, and in fact, except for liquor stores, basically no one cares about this age limit.

Beiba was just joking with them to let Leo and Bell, who were guests at his home for the first time, relax a little.

After giving each of the two young men a bottle of drink, Berbatov suddenly looked at Leo.

"Leo, I noticed that sometimes when you are on the court, you feel a bit like I am playing football. Do you understand what I mean?

Although our technical characteristics are not particularly similar, the feeling..."

Leo had already prepared his words, and he replied without embarrassment:

"Because you are my idol! Before coming to Tottenham, I often watched your games in Milan, and I might imitate your movements and playing style without knowing it.

I'm so happy to be your teammate! It's just that we didn't know each other well before, so I never had the nerve to tell you this. "

Brother Xiaosha nodded suddenly, "That's no wonder. Come on, tell me what you think!"

Leo told him the theory he had come up with before, but he didn't expect the other party to shake his head.

"No, you still don't understand, I didn't intentionally play like that on the field."

Beiba stood up, straightened his custom-made suit, took out a small mirror and smoothed his hair, showing a charming smile.

"Elegance! Staying elegant is the key! Do you understand this?"

Leo nodded in understanding, and turned around to see a confused Gareth Bale.

……

Being a guest at Berbatov's home was very rewarding. With a deeper understanding of Brother Xiaosa's playing style, Leo's template matching degree also reached 20%.

This is not to say that Leo's current ability is only one-fifth of Berbatov's, but that he has increased the gap between him and Berbatov by 20% based on his original strength.

This also means that Leo's abilities in all aspects have been comprehensively improved, especially in ball control and scoring, which Brother Xiaosha is best at.

Although Leo's rating is still C+, he feels that he is not far from being upgraded. It's a pity that it's a bit difficult to make further progress in a short period of time. You can only rely on the 0.1 points from the daily auxiliary training rewards to slowly improve the matching degree.

But speaking of it, 20% of the talent is already like this, and Leo really wants to experience the effect of the full version as soon as possible.

Leo's progress was noticed by Tottenham's first team coach, but unfortunately, he was not even included in the squad for the first game of the new season.

Sharing the same fate as him was "good gay friend" Gareth Bale. Although the two young men followed the team to Sunderland, they could only watch the entire game from the sidelines.

Facing the Black Cats' worst defense in the Premier League, Tottenham's offensive players couldn't find a chance to score.

The striker composed of Berbatov and Robbie Keane posed no threat to the opponent at all.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on the forwards. The midfielder's inability to provide them with support is the bigger problem.

In addition, the injuries of Ledley King and Michael Dawson have also caused instability in Tottenham's rear.

In the end, Sunderland forward Chopra, who came on as a substitute, scored the winning goal. The Black Cats scored 0-0 at home and the Lily Army had a good start to the new season!

Looking at the home team fans celebrating their victory, Leo and Bell looked at each other helplessly. There was nothing they could do.

The atmosphere on Tottenham's losing side was naturally much more depressing. Head coach Martin Jol returned to the locker room and cursed the entire team bloody!

Originally, the Dutch wanted to maintain stability and continue the lineup from last season, but the injured players were not fully recovered enough to play, and new injuries appeared.

With such a shortage of personnel, Martin still did not bring Leo and Bell with him.

He did not want and was unwilling to put the blame on two young men who were not yet eighteen years old.

Yes, Martin Yoel can boldly send Leo and the others onto the field. If he wins the game, he has the wisdom to use new players.

Even if he lost, it can be said that the young players were in unstable condition and failed to show their due strength.

He is a good head coach both inside and outside, but the pressure from the outside world will be passed on to the two young players.

Therefore, in the second round of the Premier League three days later, the Lily Legion coach was still a little rigid and sent out a starting lineup that was almost the same as the previous game.

The only change is that Darren Bent, Tottenham's "bidding king" in the summer transfer window, got the chance to start. The official formation was still 442, with Robbie Keane moving to the right.

But in reality it might be a bit closer to a three-forward lineup.

But none of this mattered anymore. Tottenham were beaten 3-0 by Everton at White Hart Lane.

The scene and score were all at a disadvantage. Only three minutes into the game, the away team scored with a header from Lescott on a corner kick.

Then Osman and Alan Stubbs scored one after another, and the Toffees easily defeated Tottenham away from home.

After two consecutive defeats, including a complete loss to Everton at home, the outside world's doubts about Tottenham have gradually become louder.

The media and fans remained surprisingly consistent, targeting head coach Martin Jol.

"The league has just begun. Losing one or two games doesn't mean anything. I believe we can adjust soon."

It seems that if he loses again, his handsome position will be really unstable.

What can be done? Martin Jol looked at the Tottenham players training seriously on the field and fell into deep thought.

How about taking a gamble?
  On August 2007, 8, Tottenham Hotspur sat at home and ushered in the third round of the 18-07 Premier League season against Derby County.
