Fox in the Penalty Area

"Hey, Hu Lai...beautiful!! The goal has been scored!!" He Feng yelled after seeing the football fly into the goal, and at the same time his eyes were quickly paying attention to the referee's gestures in the TV broadcast.

In fact, he was also a little uncertain.

Because when the camera cut with the football, he saw Hou Lai appearing between Jimenez and goalkeeper Cordero. According to the rules, this position should be an offside area.

And Hu Lai is more... A little obvious.

Coupled with the way Jimenez stood behind Hu Lai raising his arms high, He Feng also became less confident.

He soon saw the referee standing on the line of the big penalty area turn around and wave his arm, pointing his finger at the middle circle!

The goal is valid!

Onside!

His hanging heart could finally be put back in his stomach, and he shouted without any scruples: "Hu Lai! The third Champions League goal this season! This time he finally broke the goal of the Catalan United! Holy Family Stadium! His goal helped Leeds City take the lead against Catalan United in less than 20 minutes!"

Hu Lai is not as unsure as He Feng is that he is not offside, because of the different perspectives, he clearly knows that he is not offside.

So after the goal, he got up from the ground, ran to the corner flag area, and waved to Lasky and other teammates, signaling them to come up and celebrate with him.

The Leeds City players ran towards him, howling excitedly.

Not far away, Catalan central defender Jimenez turned and ran to the referee, pointing his finger at Hu Lai who had already run away, indicating that the ball was offside just now!

The referee ignored him, and the live broadcast cut to the replay of Hu Lai's goal just now.

Through the slow-motion replay, it can be clearly seen that when Laski swung his foot against the football and was about to shoot directly, Hou Lai, who was standing in front of the small penalty area with Jimenez, suddenly took a step forward.

It was this step that allowed him to move away from Jimenez, but it also seemed to be in an offside position.

But look carefully at the far end, the side where Kamara passed the ball.

The Catalan right-back Oskui is still in place, and he is the last Catalan defensive player except goalkeeper Cordero!

He is closer to the bottom line than Hu Lai!

So Hu Lai's ball is not offside!

And Hu Lai obviously also saw Osquel's position,

Only then did he dare to take a sudden step forward, throwing Jimenez away.

Jimenez was all focused on Hu Lai at the time, and he didn't notice that his teammate Osquel was the last one behind...

"Aha! Oskui, who was chasing Kamara, didn't get back in time, so Hu Lai was not offside! The penalty was fine!" He Feng and Yan Kang happily patted their thighs after seeing it clearly.

Oskui himself was also a little confused. He didn't expect that he would walk so slowly, so he gave Hu Lai a chance to score...

In the close-up shot, he looked dazed, and even a little... stupid and cute.

But Catalan fans don't think that Osqui is cute at this moment, they only think that the Argentine international is stupid!

The Catalan United, which was focused on beating Leeds City at home and locked in the first place in the group, was hit by the opponent and was a little dizzy!

So after the initial astonishment, all kinds of hustle and bustle over the Holy Family Stadium became louder in decibels.

These are the anger of more than 80,000 Catalan fans at the scene.

Against such a turbulent wind, Hu Lai jumped high at the Sagrada Familia Stadium, made his signature celebration, and then landed to hug the swarming teammates.

In this way, the Leeds City players celebrated their lead under the collective gaze of the Catalan fans in the steep stands.

"Insua was suppressed by Williams, hell!"

After conceding the ball, Catalan coach José Bernal shook his fist angrily and cursed.

Instead, the assistant coach next to him, Alberto Vazquez, comforted him: "Pete Williams was one of the top ten best young players in Europe last season after all..."

"But the problem is, he came back from injury, Alberto!" Bernal was still upset.

This conceded goal was indeed beyond his expectation. Before the game, he had no idea that his team would concede the goal first.

He turned his eyes to the next door, where Leeds City manager Tony Clark was high-fiving the coaching staff around him, with an excited smile on his face.

"...I didn't expect Leeds City to attack in this game..." Bernal shook his head. "It's my responsibility, Alberto. I underestimated the madness of Tony Clark... tell the players, don't be intimidated by Leeds' attack, and you must not back down. Otherwise we will really put The initiative has been handed over! Leeds City is good at offense, but they must not forget that our Catalan United is also good at offense!"

※※※

Antonio Valero in the stands saw the team's assistant coach, Mr. Alberto Vazquez, hurried to the sidelines and was gesturing to the players on the field, signaling them to go out.

He turned his attention to his good friend Mario Salado.

The game has just started less than 20 minutes, the time is really short, so short that Salado has no chance to play.

But at the same time, Hu Lai has already scored a goal...

This means that even if you don't care about the previous games, just look at the performance in this game, Hu Lai is already ahead of his good friend.

I don't know how upset Salado must be now...

But no matter how upset you are, you must control your emotions, Mario. You can't get carried away by your emotions, get carried away and focus on the game...

You can do it, believe in yourself, you absolutely can!

You are the greatest talent in our youth team! You are the hope of Catalan for the next ten years!

Come on, Super Mario!

※※※

On the court, Salado's eyes were almost breathing fire, and he was looking at the direction of Leeds City players celebrating from a distance.

Although he was surrounded by the crowd and couldn't see his target at all, he still didn't look away.

Before the game, he was full of confidence to compete with Hou Lai in this game. At the same time, he also proved to Meli who was far away in Madrid that only he was qualified to be his opponent and challenge him.

As a result, not long after the game started, Hu Lai scored first...

Third Champions League goal of the season!

And what about myself?

Let alone this game, even in the UEFA Champions League throughout his career, he has yet to score a goal.

Although this is related to the fact that Salado is not the main attacker of the Catalan United, it is difficult for him to appear in front of the goal to get a chance to shoot because he is mainly active on the wing. He and Hu Lai have very different tactical positions in the team...

But Salado will not find these reasons for himself.

Since he regarded Hu Lai as his opponent, it meant that he didn't take his and Hu Lai's surprise into consideration.

He just wants to use goals to compete with Hu Lai.

Could he not know that Hu Lai is good at scoring goals?

of course I know.

But a person who is determined to challenge Melly, the best of the younger generation, doesn't even have the courage to do so?

So he chose to score with Hollei.

As a result, this meeting... Hu Lai took the lead.

He kept staring at the celebrating Leeds City players for a while, until they finally ended the celebration, and then saw Hu Lai again.

He ran back to half-time with his teammates, and raised his arms halfway to wave to the few Leeds City fans in the stands.

Salado's gaze followed Hu Lai all the time, until he returned to his position and stopped, and the talented young man of the Catalan United then withdrew his gaze.

It was a bad result when the ball was conceded just ten minutes into the game.

But precisely because the ball was lost early, Salado had more than 70 minutes to catch up with Hu Lai, which is a good thing.

The assistant coach is waving his arms on the sidelines to signal the team to attack and stop shrinking the defense.

This is exactly what Salado wants.

Hou Lai stood in his place and waited for the game to restart.

He raised his head and cast his eyes on the famous steep slope stands of the Sagrada Família Stadium.

Today's Sagrada Familia stadium is not full, and most of the top seats are empty.

But more than 80,000 people gathered here, and the visual impact it brings is shocking enough.

After all, in the entire Premier League, it is not easy to find a stadium that can accommodate more than 80,000 people.

Now more than 80,000 angry Catalan fans are shaking their fists in the stands. Sure enough, as the rumors say, there will be a kind of them rushing down from the hillsides in all directions, trying to get close to their noses to shake The Fist Illusion...

The Champions League is really interesting!

Being able to go to different stadiums and experience different exotic football cultures!

Facing the crushed stands of the Holy Family Stadium, Hu Lai grinned and raised his eyebrows.

※※※

Luo Kai in front of the TV stared intently at the close-up of Hu Lai on the screen.

He could also hear a loud din coming from the field ahead.

Those voices are not very friendly, and the signal has been attenuated through the satellite relay signal, but it is still "deafening" when it reaches Luo Kai's ears.

So it is completely conceivable how strong a heart is needed to compete in such an environment...

But Luo Kai still envied this person in front of him.

After all, this is the Champions League game!

This is the home court of Catalan United!

For countless professional players, La Liga giants Catalan and King Madrid are the end of their careers.

Being able to compete in such an environment should not be torture, but an honor.

Now, such glory belongs entirely to Hu Lai.

As for how long it will take for him to stand on that stage.

But... I'll catch up with you, Hu Lai.

No matter how far you leave me behind, I will catch up with you. The game between the two of us is not this one, nor is it at this moment.

Don't even try to get rid of me completely!
