Fox in the Penalty Area

When King Madrid captain Alessandra Celados knocked on the door of Meli Banega's room, he was surprised to find that the TV in his room was showing the Champions League match between Catalan United and Leeds City.

"You are actually watching the Catalan United game?"

Meli said with a smile: "I'm not watching the Catalan game, captain, I'm watching the Leeds game."

Serados froze for a moment before realizing: "Oh, Hu..."

Ever since Meli ran to look for Hou Lai in full view at the best award ceremony in European football, the grievances between him and Hou Lai are no longer a secret.

Not only inside the King of Madrid, but also outside, many people know that Meli regards Hou Lai as an opponent.

If this matter had been exposed a year ago, it would have amazed many people and made them feel incredible.

But now after the World Cup, no one will think that it is ridiculous for Meli to regard Hou Lai as an opponent.

After all, a Premier League golden boot, the best player in the Premier League, and the top scorer in the World Cup... If he is not qualified to be Melli's opponent, is this humiliating Hu Lai or Merry?

Meli has basically completed the Grand Slam from the league championship to the Champions League championship in his club career, but at the national team level, his honor is still zero.

Although everyone thinks that he is recognized as the strongest among the younger generation of players, he is not yet strong enough to be the best.

Kabanka was able to fight back and forth with him.

So, as the second player after Kabanka to win both the season's best and best young player honors selected by the Premier League Players Association, why can't Hu Lai be regarded as a threat by Meli?

Celados himself was also deeply impressed by Hu Lai.

Because of this World Cup, he scored four goals and had two assists, and won the best player in the World Cup. The World Cup Golden Boot was won by Hu Lai.

If Hu Lai scored one less goal, Celados could take advantage of more assists and win the World Cup Golden Boot and best player.

"Do you think Leeds City can reach the knockout stage?" Serrados asked.

Meli shook his head: "I don't know, the hope is very slim now. But as long as he can still participate in the Champions League, we can always meet in the game."

"It's hard... Hu is a good player,

But Leeds..." Serados shook his head.

It's not that he looks down on Leeds City, but he knows that it is a miracle that this team won the league championship last season. Take a look at their standings in the league this season.

Not to mention the league title, they probably won't even be able to qualify for the Champions League next season...

Melly frowned when she heard the captain's words.

This is indeed a very serious question.

If Hu Lai is limited by the strength of Leeds City and cannot participate in the Champions League, how can he play against Hu Lai again?

Count on the national team?

That's even slimmer.

Meli looked at the TV screen that had resumed the game, and suddenly said: "If he performed well in this game and was spotted by the Catalan United... Maybe the Catalan United will sign him?"

As long as Hou Lai goes to the Catalan United, there is no need to wait until the Champions League, and Meli can often play against Hou Lai.

Serrados didn't expect that such an idea would pop up in Meli's mind. He was taken aback and quickly waved his hands: "Are you crazy, Meli? If he really went to Catalan, Mr. Sanchez will go crazy."

Meli remembered the "story" between the club's football director Xavi Sanchez and Hou Lai, he stuck out his tongue quickly, and then laughed: "I forgot about this..."

Everyone knows that the King of Madrid really bid for Hou Lai, but in the end Hou Lai rejected the King of Madrid and switched to Leeds City.

People who knew about it at the time were only amazed at Hu Lai's courage, and some felt sorry for him. After all, he just passed by the top giants King Madrid, and missed the opportunity to join King Madrid, which may be the only time in his life.

But no one thinks that way anymore. People who know about this are now looking at Harvey Sanchez with a strange look.

There are rumors, it is said... It is said that after Hu Lai won the best player in the Premier League, the Golden Boot and the Premier League championship, Mr. Xavi Sanchez's face has not been good in those few days.

Merry didn't know if it was true, because he hadn't seen Mr. Sanchez during that time. This rumor is said to have come from people close to Mr. Sanchez.

But from this rumor, everyone knows that Mr. Sanchez is not very calm about not being able to sign Hou Lai as he has shown-in the beginning, when Hou Lai made his mark in the Premier League, some media asked Mr. Sanchez, what about the original signing of Hu Lai? Do you regret or regret not being able to sign Hu Lai?

How did Mr. Sanchez answer: "The King of Madrid looks for enough talented players all over the world every year, and everyone who can be spotted by the King of Madrid is talented. So for Hu's achievements in Leeds City, I am a little bit impressed. No surprise, because he has the quality. But regret? Sorry, the king of Madrid will not regret not being able to sign someone, after all, we are kings."

These words are very domineering, but Sanchez has the qualifications to say such words.

Countless professional players cried and wanted to join the King of Madrid, and some of them even protested at their original club’s home in order to join the King of Madrid. You can smoothly join your favorite team and realize your dream as a boy.

It's not that no one has rejected the King of Madrid. For example, Catalan players will not easily transfer to the King of Madrid.

But there are very few young players who can reject the King of Madrid.

There have always been only people who are not wanted by the King of Madrid, and there are very few people who don't want the King of Madrid.

Regarding Hu Lai, everyone thought that it was the King of Madrid who gave up on him, not him rejecting the King of Madrid.

But when Hou Lai won the title in the Premier League, this view was changed. More details about the original transfer were revealed, and everyone knew that it was the player who rejected the King of Madrid and would rather go to a newly promoted team in the Premier League.

And seeing Leeds City's Premier League champions, can anyone say that Hu Lai's choice is wrong?

In the face of such results, everyone would think that the King of Madrid must regret that they failed to resolutely sign Hou Lai.

This time Sanchez did not answer any questions about Hou Lai in front of the media.

But this silence itself is very telling...

Celados waved his hand and decided to end the topic: "Rest early, Meli. We still have a match tomorrow."

"Don't worry, captain. I'll sleep after watching the game."

Serados said nothing more, nodded, closed the door and left.

After taking two steps, he stopped and looked back at the door of Melly's room.

He suddenly remembered the rumor about Melly being narrow-minded.

When he first heard this rumor, Serados scoffed at it.

Because Meli's performance and narrow-mindedness in the Kings of Madrid are not at all close.

But looking at it now... It's not that narrow-minded, but Melly's obsession with Hu Lai is obviously not as simple as that of ordinary opponents. After all, the two of them have only fought once so far, but Meili has remembered it until now...

Professional players have to play many games in their lifetime, and no one can guarantee that they will only win and not lose. Contrary to what many people think, the most important thing about being a professional player may not be to pursue victory, but to learn how to face failure correctly.

Losing is certainly painful, regrettable, and unwilling. But the more this is the case, the more you have to learn to let go. If you are always immersed in the emotion of losing, then such a player will not achieve much.

He believes that Meli is not the kind of player who would indulge in losing a game, but why is he so worried about that Chinese player?

Serados couldn't figure it out.

Is it possible to be careful...

No, how can anyone be narrow-minded about only one person?

Meli returned to the TV and continued to watch the live broadcast of the game while lying on the bed.

In the picture, Catalan United is attacking Leeds City's goal.

If Meli remembers correctly, when the captain knocked on his door just now, the Catalan United were attacking, and now they are still attacking...

Is this an unfinished offensive? Are you still playing against Leeds?

He was half lying on the bed, leaning against the head of the bed, and continued to watch the UEFA Champions League group match between Leeds City and Catalan United seriously.

※※※

The lagging Catalan United was thoroughly irritated.

This is their territory, let alone Leeds City, even if the King of Madrid dares to lead the Catalan United at the Sagrada Familia, they must be prepared to bear the fury of the Catalan United.

They continued to attack Leeds City.

Driven by the organization of Rosas and Campusano, the offensive continued wave after wave.

It gave the Leeds players a weird feeling, as if they were playing against themselves, because that's what they were doing when they kept attacking... no, no, they were playing against a better version of themselves.

"Rosas passed Vieira with ease! He passed the ball to Campsano on the wide side...Campusano is passing the ball to Salado!"

When Salado catches the ball, he puts the football straight forward for another trip!

At the same time, he jumped from the side and dodged the Leeds City right back Josh Lawler who came up to intercept him!

Then amid the cheers at the Sagrada Familia, he sped away from Lawler, caught up with the football, and brought the football into the penalty area.

Although in the end when he tried to break into the penalty area, Jay Adams who caught up to help defend him broke the bottom line.

But his sharp breakthrough won him deafening cheers and applause from the stadium stands.

With the Catalan United falling behind, they need such a boosting scene too much.

The scene where Salado didn't stop the ball and directly passed the ball to break through the Leeds City's wing defense just now made people's blood pumping.

And Salado also made an action to ignite the atmosphere of the audience after the team won a corner kick-he kept raising his arms, encouraging the Catalan fans in the stands to send even greater cheers for the team. Come on!

Valero in the stands stood up from his seats with the Catalan fans around him, waved his arms and roared towards the goal of Leeds City.

At the same time he shouted in his heart: Well done, Mario! that's it! Just kick like this!

※※※

The atmosphere at the scene was further inflamed.

Amid the deafening shouts, Rosas kicked a corner kick.

After Jimenez and Fortune attracted the attention of the Leeds City defenders in front of the goal, the Swedish striker Edmund Pettersson suddenly came out from the outside, jumped into the air, and made a powerful shot to the top!

Although Leeds City goalkeeper van der Ven made a save action for this powerful header that was close at hand, but this subconscious save did not work!

The football flew into the goal before he could even wave it!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Peterson!! Peterson!! GOOOOOOOOOOOL!! Catalan equalized! Seven minutes after conceding the goal!! Brilliant!! They told Leeds with this goal , whose home field is here!!"

The continuous cheers at the Holy Family Stadium reached a climax at this moment.

After scoring the goal, Paterson excitedly ran towards Rosas who passed the ball to him. Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, the two hugged each other.

The rest of the Catalan players followed, jumped on them, and celebrated with them.

Salado was also among them. After he ran over, he did not rush to hug, but faced the stands, and continued to raise his arms to incite the atmosphere of the scene, making everyone cheer louder and louder.

The Catalan fans in the stands responded to his call collectively and tried their best to raise the decibel of the cheers again.

It caused a storm of sound in the entire Sagrada Família Stadium.

Every Catalan fan is hysterical in their seats - that's what we want to see!

At their home court, the Catalan United finally brought the game back to the same starting line!
