Chapter 17: Some Portable Medicines

The away game of the League One team is far less comfortable than the away game of the Premier League team.

After winning the game in the EFL Trophy against the Arsenal reserve team, the next opponent of Brentford is the MK Dons. This is also the first time Lucas has played away games with the team since becoming a professional player after transmigrating.

For Premier League players, away games are hard enough. However, in fact, the conditions for the players to play away are very good. Those five-star hotels are worth mentioning. The various services they enjoy when playing away games are even more coveted. Many teams even own their own private planes.

Players don't have to worry about their luggage since equipment managers handle everything. The players wake up to find their boots and kits already laid out for them.

The accommodation and dining environment for the players are naturally the best. It can be said that the only trouble the players need to solve when playing away is the unfamiliar environment and the boos of the fans during the game.

However, even so, the players shout that it is too hard to play away. But if they knew the normal state of League One players playing away games, they probably wouldn't feel it was hard.

First of all, it is hard for a League One team to provide players with an equipment manager. This also means that from personal items to game supplies, players must prepare themselves.

Secondly, the players do not have special planes to take. They all take the economy class of ordinary flights. Don't think that this will cause any commotion, because most people don't even know that the player sitting next to them is a professional player.

The long-distance away game is the one where they can fly. If the short-distance away game is a little closer, the team will arrange to take a bus. The equipment manager cannot afford it, but a team of long-distance drivers can still afford it.

What is gratifying about the League One players playing away games is that every away game, the players will get £50 in meal allowances during away trips, but compared to the Premier League, it's a far cry from being comparable.

Therefore, the players of the League One team are truly qualified to say: "It's really hard to play away."

"Lucas, have you been to Milton Keynes before?" Reggie, who was sitting on the plane, seemed to be in a good mood. Although the conditions for the players to play away games are difficult, for him, playing by plane is already a blessing in misfortune.

"I have never been. I only know that there are the MK Dons there." Lucas spread his hands. The original owner had never been here, let alone him, who had never been in England in his last life.

"Not much to see there, to be honest," Reggie said, chuckling. "But MK Dons... they're not a team to take lightly. Do you know who you'll be up against?"

"I have done my homework this time, Reggie. My opponent is that Smith, who was loaned from Tottenham. If nothing else, that guy should appear in the right back position."

Lucas studied the list of MK Dons players last night. I have to admit that Lucas does not know any of the players here. But only the name Adam Smith seems a little familiar.

Although Adam is still unknown, as a fan who has come from 2024, Lucas has somewhat heard of this Adam Smith; he was still playing in the Premier League at 33 years old when he transmigrated.

This is very remarkable to be able to play in the Premier League, let alone at 33 when one is a defender at a time when almost all players are in good physical shape.

Lucas has never felt anything towards this Adam Smith, neither hatred nor liking. After all, he only watched Premier League games occasionally, let alone from a team like Bournemouth where he played.

But there is one thing Lucas must admit: a guy who can be sent to confront Haaland and Antony the goat is definitely not a softie. Even though he is not as strong as he was at his peak, he is definitely a big killer in a place like League One.

Seeing Lucas say Adam Smith's name, Reggie instantly looked at his little brother with admiration. The only thing Lucas could pray for was an extra minute of playing time, but now he has begun to figure out how to beat his opponent tonight.

"Adam Smith is not an annoying guy. I heard that he was released this time not because of his lack of strength, but because he violated the team rules again. You know, Tottenham is a strong Premier League team; the manager will never allow a thorn in his team. So, after Adam made a mistake, he was thrown to MK Dons."

Reggie continued to fill Lucas in on the situation related to Adam, and he did much more to his opponent than Lucas did. After all, it's okay when you are idle in the car wash, and Reggie always likes to study opponents.

"So Adam may be more difficult to deal with than Luke Vargas. After all, he has Premier League-level strength, but his temper is a little weird. You must seize the opportunity, Lucas. The stronger the opponent you defeat, the better your chances of entering the Premier League!"

Lucas looked at Reggie, who was beaming, and said nothing more.

He fist-bumped him lightly. With such teammates, it is already three lives.

"I will continue to pass to you today, Reggie. We will defeat him together."

...

At a motel, Lucas was still surprised that the team would arrange for them to stay in a motel.

Although he had expected that the accommodation environment of the League One team would not be very good, he had hoped they would at least stay in a hotel with positive reviews.

But it turns out Lucas thought about his road trip too optimistically. Judging from the calm expressions of other teammates, staying in a motel should already be the norm.

After arriving, the first thing everyone does when they enter the room is to pack their luggage. Lucas's things are very conventional, such as clothes, shoes, toothbrushes, towels, and so on.

But there was something in Reggie's luggage that caught Lucas's attention.

"What is this? A small pillbox?" Seeing Reggie take out an unusual round small box and place it on the bedside table, Lucas picked it up curiously and looked at it.

There are many compartments in this palm-sized circular box, and each compartment contains some different tablets. In the past, Lucas saw that many elderly people used such small pillboxes to classify their medicines for convenient consumption.

But Reggie is not an old man; he is one of the strongest people in the world.

"Some portable medicines, don't worry about it." Reggie replied with a smile, but Lucas could see that his good friend's smile was unnatural.

Seeing that Reggie didn't want to answer, Lucas did not continue to ask. They have to adapt to the venue in the afternoon, so everyone has to take a break at noon.

On his first road trip, Lucas didn't want to make any trouble.
