Chapter 33 Birthday Party

Tottenham head coach Martin Jol led his team to a 4-0 home victory over Wigan Athletic.

And Leo, who wanted to perform well, also exceeded his expectations. He scored three goals with two shots and one pass, which was undoubtedly the best of the game.

“I’m happy that my performance can help the team.

I was pleasantly surprised to score two goals in this game.

But this is the result of the joint efforts of the whole team. I would like to thank my teammates for their help and support and the head coach for trusting me.

At the same time, I will not be proud. I will continue to work hard in future games and strive to give back to the fans who support me with better performance!"

When facing reporters after the game, Leo answered with ease, but judging from the hastily concluded interview, it seemed that they were not very satisfied.

I answered pretty well, right? Is there something wrong? Leo didn't know why.

Martin Jol hopes that Leo can continue this good form, but it is a pity that the next round of the league will have to wait until fourteen days.

It's the national team match day again, and it's hard to say whether Leo can maintain his current excellent form in the next game two weeks later.

The Dutch are very troubled by this, and so are the other players in the team. They have just regained some form and have to go to the national team to play in the European Cup qualifiers.

It's hard to say what kind of state Tottenham's players will be in when they return in the next round of the Premier League after the national team game is over. Thank God if they can avoid injuries.

At present, there is still some distance between Leo and the Italian national team, but Francesco Rocca, the head coach of the Azzurri U19 youth team, called him a few days ago.

The natural meaning is to ask Leo if he is willing to be selected for the Italian youth team to participate in the two U19 European Youth Championship qualifiers.

It's a pity that the game time conflicts with Tottenham's Premier League game. As Leo is the main player, the club cannot release him.

Francisco also expressed his understanding of this and promised that there will still be a place for Leo in the team after the end of the season.

After all, in the U2008 European Youth Championship held in the Czech Republic in July 7, if the Italian team could recruit two strong players, Leo and Balotelli, it would be really promising to win the championship!
  On November 11th, the rainy London received a rare good weather.

The gentle sunlight shines on Leo's body through the window, making the young man who is busy in the kitchen shine brightly.

"Do you need any help?"

Berbatov, the oldest among the invited guests, took the initiative to come and help, but was rejected by Leo.

"No, just rest outside and wait for dinner!
  My family owns a restaurant, and I have been cooking since elementary school. It is no worse than my playing skills, so you can rest assured. "

Today is his 17th birthday. He invited his two best friends in Tottenham, Berbatov and Bale, to visit his home. At the same time, King Dong, who was far away in Manchester, also took a day off and drove over.

To put it bluntly, no one cares if he doesn't ask for leave. He won't be able to play at Manchester United at all.

After the training yesterday, the host family's grandparents took Leo to the supermarket to buy all the ingredients needed for today and went to the dessert shop to order a birthday cake.

Today, after greeting the guests, they entered the room very wisely, leaving space for the young people, so that neither party would be embarrassed.

There weren't many people, so Leo simply cooked a few dishes.

"Kung pao chicken, beef tenderloin with green pepper, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a potato ribs are stewed and we can eat."

"Wow, it smells so good! I didn't realize that Leo, you are really good at cooking!"

"If I had known better, I would have brought my girlfriend here. She really likes Chinese food."

"Girlfriend? Is it the one from before?"

The birthday boy is busy cooking in the kitchen, and all the friends who came to celebrate his birthday are watching at the door. This is also a very interesting scene.

"Okay, okay, everyone, come to the table and sit down and get ready to eat!"

Leo brought the last dish to the table, and their small-scale "birthday party" was finally about to begin.

Belle lit the candles on the cake, and King Dong smiled and put a birthday hat on Leo.

"Is it time to sing the birthday song? Happy birthday to you~"

Two of the three were tone-deaf, and Beba was quickly led out of tune by the two of them.

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, blow out the candles and make a wish and then you can eat!"

This was Leo's first birthday in a foreign country, but with three friends accompanying him, he didn't feel lonely. Leo blew out the candles, closed his eyes and made a wish silently.

"Okay, let me cut the cake first. The small size cake I bought specially should be divided between the four of us so that it doesn't go to waste."

"Leo, what do you wish for? Find a beautiful girlfriend?"

"I don't think so. Based on his character, he might win the Golden Globe Award?"

Compared to Bell and Brother Xiaosha, Wang Dong didn't talk much because he wasn't familiar with them.

It's actually very interesting. These three friends of Leo, whether they are Bell, Beiba or Wang Dong, are not the kind of people who are good at communicating with others and have a particularly outgoing personality.

If it weren't for Leo, it's likely that the three of them wouldn't have much intersection, but it was because of Leo's appearance that they got together.

In the end, their development was very different. It can only be said that on the football field, strength may be more important than character.

"I won't tell you, it won't work if you say your wish."

As he spoke, Leo cut the cake and distributed it to the three of them.

"It sounds like it can actually come true without saying it."

Bell curled his lips and muttered something in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, let's have a drink first, and then let's eat!"

"cheers!"

Wang Dong took a bite of beef tenderloin out of curiosity. The tender texture and refreshing black pepper seasoning made him hooked.

“It’s delicious! I’ve rarely had such delicious Chinese food after going abroad!”

"Is it so delicious?"

Bell didn't quite believe it. He looked at it and took a bite of Kung Pao Chicken with a spoon.

"Ahem! This is too spicy for you! It's different from what I had in a Chinese restaurant. Shouldn't it be sweet?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't consider the taste of you two foreigners."

Although he said he was sorry, Leo didn't mean to apologize at all.

He and Wang Dong, two Chinese people, looked at each other, "Hahahaha!"

"I think it's just right. Although it's spicy, it's really delicious!"

Beiba also took a bite of Kung Pao Chicken and sighed in admiration.

After eating and drinking, the topic of conversation among several people was naturally inseparable from football.

Berbatov, who was feeling unwell and did not report to the national team this time, mentioned injuries first. I have to say that the injury problem in Tottenham is really too serious.

The three central defenders, Ledley King, Michael Dawson and Kabul, have not been healthy at the same time in the team since the beginning of the season.

Lennon was injured again not long after his previous injury, Asuector was immediately reimbursed for the season, and Hoddlestone was injured at every turn.

Injuries are really the last thing that players like them want to encounter.

"Physical health is more important than anything else. I don't understand the point of holding on for a game and then aggravating the injury?
  Not to mention that insisting on playing even if you are injured is obviously irresponsible to the team and yourself. Does anyone really think that players can show their normal strength when playing with injuries? "

"You can't say that. Sometimes it's sad to be injured and unable to play in important games. Most players will be willing to sacrifice."

“If it’s a cup final, or an important league that involves relegation or winning the championship, it might be worth fighting for.

Can you understand that some head coaches ask injured players to take six injections and play in friendly matches in isolation? "

"Huh? Friendly match? Are you sick? Why are you so stupid? You're not a human being at all!"

"I don't think it's possible. Players are not fools. Are they just so obedient?"
