Fox in the Penalty Area

"Fifteen minutes into the second half of the game, Leeds City is still at a disadvantage on the scene. The home team Bay Lighthouse continues to attack their penalty area. It seems that they want to use the time just started in the second half to try to score again. But so far The score was still 1:0, and the Bay Lighthouse failed to expand its lead..."

When the real-time score subtitles were played on the TV screen at the 60th minute, the commentator He Feng also made a oral broadcast.

In the second half, Leeds City adjusted their tactics. They no longer played defensive counterattacks at their own gates, but began to try to attack.

However, the morale of the Bay Lighthouse is so strong that it is very difficult for Leeds City to completely reverse the decline.

At most, they will be more determined when they seize the opportunity to fight back.

The only good news is that when Hou Lai touched the ball, the booing of the Bay Lighthouse fans was not as loud as in the first half. I don’t know if they were tired of booing or it was because of their hatred for Hou Lai after the score was ahead. The value is not that high anymore.

Or in other words, after a lackluster performance in the first half, Hu Lai's threat level in the eyes of Bay Lighthouse fans has plummeted, and it is no longer worth making them boo so much.

He Feng was conflicted about this.

On the one hand, he certainly hopes that the fans of the home team will stop targeting Hu Lai, so that as a fan of Hu Lai, he can feel better.

But on the other hand, he felt that if the Bay Lighthouse fans reduced their boos because Hu Lai couldn't create a threat, wouldn't that mean that Hu Lai did not perform well in this game?

Why do these Chinese who are thousands of miles away stay up all night watching the game in front of the TV? Isn't it just hope that Hu Lai can perform well in the first Champions League match of Chinese players?

What is "Excellent Performance"?

The best of course is scoring goals.

Scored the first goal of a Chinese player in the Champions League, so today's game, no matter what the final result is, is considered complete for Chinese fans.

"Dad, did you get this kind of treatment when you participated in the UEFA Europa League for the first time?" Qin Qi asked suddenly while sitting in front of the TV.

Qin Lin glanced at him: "What treatment?"

"Uh...that's..." Qin Qi, who has already entered high school, is no longer the ignorant kid before, he was keenly aware of the slight change in his father's tone,

So what I wanted to say was not said in the end.

Qin Lin did not continue to embarrass his son, but said with a straight face: "No."

"Ha, that's good, that's good..." The son made up for it.

Qin Lin didn't care about what he said, but continued: "After all, I don't have such 'good' luck as Hu Lai, and I met the Turkish team in the first game."

"Then Brother Hu, Brother Hu...can you still score our Chinese player's first goal in the Champions League?"

Qin Lin shook his head: "I don't know. It's not a big deal if you can't score, and you don't have to score in the first game..."

Qin Qi hesitated to speak.

"What do you have to say?"

Glanced at by his father, Qin Qi shrank his neck and said, "Uh, but I read online that Brother Hu has a 'tradition' of scoring goals in his first match..."

Qin Lin was amused: "Where did the feudal superstition come from? Do you believe that kind of nonsense? Did he score in the first FA Cup match? Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about the close... He scored in the Community Shield Yet?"

Qin Qi was speechless.

"It's 'survivor bias' to say he's going to score in his first game. It's just hyped up when he scores, and when he doesn't score everyone just pretends not to see it... "

Qin Qi nodded: "Oh..."

"Watch the game honestly, don't just watch the excitement. I managed to convince your mother to let you wake up to watch the game in the middle of the night, not to make you care about whether Hu Lai can score goals." Qin Lin's tone softened at the end Some.

In the football team of Jiaxiang High School, his son, who could play in multiple positions, was fixed as a central defender and showed amazing talent. Qin Lin hoped that Xiaoqi could achieve higher achievements than himself in the future, so he naturally had to train him carefully.

Take him to watch football, increase his knowledge, and let him learn experience from the game... Just like how he taught Xia Xiaoyu back then, Qin Lin now not only regards Qin Qi as his son, but also as his successor and proud disciple in his football career.

Hu Lai felt much less pressure on his ears now, and the feeling of playing in the craziest cicadas in the first half was gone.

Although the Bay Lighthouse fans still want to boo him and scold him, it has changed from squall to moderate to heavy rain.

Compared with the home team fans in the stands, the players from the Bay Lighthouse caused him more trouble on the field.

They are rough and aggressive.

This is also the football style of the Gulf Beacon, a Turkish giant. It is difficult for the players to keep calm in such a frenzied home game. Everyone is like being hit with adrenaline, and it is easy to get on top.

Even if Hu Lai is equipped with [Broken Giant Bear Legguards], the chance of injury is greatly reduced, but it still hurts to be kicked on the leg...

But also because he has become the key defensive target of the Bay Lighthouse, other Leeds City players face much less defensive pressure.

Hu Lai also took time to find his striker partner Laski, and said to him in Polish: "You must pay more attention to my movements during the game. I am being watched by them very much now, but I still think about it." There is a way to create opportunities. Don't stay too far away from me, otherwise when the opportunity comes out, it will be a pity that you are not in the position..."

Laski nodded again and again, humbly accepting.

He even thought about the last game against the Stan Park Rangers. Not long after Hu Lai came on the field, a shot hit Stan Park Rangers goalkeeper Lemos, but he reacted a little too late in front of the goal. He failed to appear on the ball in time and missed the goal. His first chance to score in the Premier League.

And this time, he will not miss the opportunity again!

Although Dominic Laski is a well-known genius in Poland, he has high hopes. But after coming to Leeds, his attitude was still very upright in front of Hu Lai.

After all, Poland's top talent is really not enough to look at in front of the Premier League Golden Boot, the season's best and the World Cup Golden Boot...

Leaving aside the World Cup, I have yet to prove myself in the Premier League.

After Hu Lai approached Lasky, the latter had indeed been paying special attention to Hu Lai's movements during the game.

Not long after, Charlie Potter sent a cross.

Hu Lai ran forward, as if he was going to grab the landing point.

The Bay Lighthouse defenders followed him, never leaving him.

And it's not just one person, it's two people.

With such defensive strength, it is no wonder that Hu Lai has not yet been able to score the "Chinese player's first goal in the Champions League" that Chinese fans have been thinking about.

Bay Beacon centre-back Blake Mantegulu had been following Houlai in case he had the chance to flick himself to get a shot.

He doesn't care where the football is at all now, and his eyes are nailed to No. 14 of Leeds City.

At this moment, he saw Hu Lai's body shaking, and then suddenly fell forward!

Seeing this, Mantegulu raised his hands reflexively, signaling to the referee that when Hu Lai fell down, he did not move his hands.

So this is definitely not a foul!

But when Hu Lai fell to the ground, he didn't hear the whistle.

Instead, the football passed quickly over Hu Lai's body, and also flew past the stunned Manteguru...

Lasky was right behind Hu Lai and saw the football flying towards him, but he didn't expect it at all. Because his attention was all attracted by Hu Lai's sudden fall. He even wanted to raise his arm to signal the referee to foul...

Before he could make the move, the ball flew over and then flew away from his eyes!

"Potter cross... Holly fell! Also! Laski... oops!"

Seeing that Lasky didn't make a move and let the football fly past, He Feng yelled regretfully.

Before the words finished, Kamala suddenly came out from behind Lasky, facing the flying football, and swung his feet sideways!

Half volley!

The football was hit by his right instep, and it flew towards the goal of the Bay Lighthouse like a cannonball!

Gulf Beacon goalkeeper Atakan Arslan, who is also the goalkeeper of the Turkish national team, was obviously affected by Hu Lai's fall in front of the goal, and his reaction was half a beat slow. When he saw the football flying towards his goal, he turned back Fly into the air, before it's too late...

He missed the ball!

The football shot directly through his fingers and flew into the goal behind him!

"Brilliant!! Ismail Kamara!!!" Matthew Cox roared, "He scored Leeds City's first goal in the Champions League in team history! He also helped Leeds City equalize score!!"

※※※

Laski saw the football flying in front of his eyes, and he realized what he had missed. He turned around and tried to make up for it. As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Kamara rushing out from behind him, facing the football and half-volleying sideways.

The muffled sound echoed in his ears!

Kamara, who scored the goal, first looked into the goal, and then looked away after confirming that the football flew into the goal.

Then he glanced at Laski who was close at hand, then at Hu Lai who was jumping ahead, and then ran up.

Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground, looked up and saw the football in the goal, knowing that the goal had been scored, so he got up from the ground and wanted to go to Lasky to hug and celebrate - he thought it was Lasky who scored the goal...

As a result, as soon as he got up, he was hugged by Kamala.

"Huh?" Surprised, he saw Lasky running up from behind Kamara's shoulder with annoyed expression on his face, and then he realized that it wasn't Lasky who scored the goal, but Kamara!

Charlie Potter also ran up, and while hugging them, he complained: "Why did you come running to hug Hu, Ismail, didn't I pass this ball?!"

Kamara pointed to Hu Lai and said, "He's pretty..."

After Laski understood this sentence, his eyes widened: Hu Lai just missed the ball? !

Seeing this, Hu Lai knew that Laski probably didn't expect that he would suddenly miss the ball, so he missed this opportunity.

Sure enough, after finishing the celebration and returning to his own half, Lasky approached Hu Lai and explained to him in Polish: "I thought you were pushed down... I was going to call the referee..."

Hu Lai pointed to Charlie Potter who was running in front: "The height of that kid's pass is neither high nor low. Get down on the ground to pass the football."

Laski covered his face with his hands.

Hu Lai patted him on the shoulder: "Stop thinking about it, next time you have a chance, no matter what the situation is, shoot the football into the goal first. You see, Ismail is very experienced...even if the goal is blown by the referee It’s better to come out than this.”

The Polish genius was very speechless and could only nod to show that he remembered.

By Hu Lai's side, he felt that he still had a long way to go...

PS, I haven’t coded for nearly a week at a time, and it’s really hard to find the status again. As soon as I got home, I went back to the routine of writing until two or three in the morning... It turned out that when I was traveling, I could go to bed after ten o’clock and eleven o’clock every day, and I woke up at six or seven o’clock the next morning, with a regular and healthy schedule . As a result, now my wife said that I went back to before liberation overnight, and she went back to the days of widowed marriage...

I feel that before the book is finished, I should try my best not to stop writing words at all for a week. In the future, even if I want to go out to play, I will bring my computer with me, and try to write as much as I can.

Even if you go out for a week and write two or three chapters, you still have to keep yourself in the state of writing as much as possible.

I really want to relax completely, wait until this book is finished...

I roughly estimated that according to my current writing speed and plot length, at least I can write until next year. But I don't know if it will be the first half of next year or the second half.

In short, I will not pre-set a completion timeline for myself, and then all work will go to this timeline.

I will not deliberately speed up the speed and rhythm in order to finish the book, I will still follow the previous rhythm and writing method, and take it slowly.

But even less, in order to catch up with a certain time point, I will deliberately pour water into the book, repeat the game plots from season to season, and try to stretch the book as long as possible like ramen.

When and how to finish the book must be determined according to the content itself. I will take the trouble to write everything I want to write, just like the World Cup plot, I can't wait to write every minute of the 90-minute game.

But I will not be polite about the places that should be brought, maybe months of time in the book will pass after one chapter.

With the start of the wave of Chinese players studying abroad in the book, I will not always focus on Hu Lai alone, nor will I just write about Hu Lai and his group.

So don't be surprised if Hu Lai doesn't appear as the protagonist in several chapters in the future.

In the end, there are double monthly tickets for the first four days of August, so please vote for us, so that our ranking on the monthly ticket list can be raised further, so that this book can be seen by more people, and the results will be great. better.

After all, the average subscription distance for this book is 1,500 away from 10,000. It would be a good thing if this process can be accelerated...

Thank you all!
