The Return of The King

Signs of Weakness
We beat the Qingdao Red Lions, 5-1.
I’m worried, though. We scored all 5 goals in the first half, and basically coasted from there.
Luciano Parra had yet another hat trick, scoring all 3 goals within the first 21 minutes.
The only goal we gave up was a penalty. It was Ye Jie’s fault. His foul in the penalty box was silly and needless. It’s not exactly endearing to me, and makes me feel less likely to give him the extra playing time that he was moping about the other day.
But it’s the offense that I’m really worried about. We need to remember to finish off strong.
Return of the King
Charlotte seemed happier than usual. I bet you can guess why.
I tried to delay the news for as long as I could, but the press got word of Lee Jin-Yong’s recovery the other day.
He’s not entirely recovered from the broken ribs, but he’s good enough to start. We’re going to put him out there in our next match and will see how things go.
The Lee Jin-Yong fan club is in full force, awaiting his first home performance. Of course, we’re going to be on the road for our next match, visiting lovely Ningxia, far to the west.
Ningxia Renhaixi
We’re expected to win, of course.
Charlotte is going to attend the match with me. I knew she wanted to see our babyfaced beauty’s return. When I asked if she could use club funds to go, Chairman Guo’s only response was to insist that we fly first class and stay away from any nosy reporters.
