Fox in the Penalty Area

"This really surprised us..."

When Valentine made such a sigh, it had been six or seven minutes since Carey played. During this time, he had a total of four chances to get the ball, but none of them succeeded.

The offense of the Madrid Pirates advanced to him, and it was basically interrupted.

The reason is simple. Carey is not used to the defensive intensity of Saria players, or he is a little afraid of confrontation. .

So as long as the Saria players are a little bit stronger in defense, Carey will give up possession of the ball in order to avoid injury.

This situation was indeed something that the Madrid Pirates coaching staff did not expect before the game.

What they saw from the physical examination report was that Kyrie's body had healed, and what they saw in training was that Kyrie's feet felt good, and everything met the requirements for playing the game.

That's why he was allowed to play in this game.

Who would have thought that Carey's biggest problem was a psychological problem...

He seems to have not come out of the shadow of two serious injuries in two years, and now he is a little afraid of physical confrontation on the court.

In particular, the actions of Sarri's players are still very targeted-when they step down, they seem to be directed at Kyrie's ankles and knees.

This made Kelly have to hide.

He didn't dare to bet that the other party was just bluffing.

What if the other party is playing for real?

For the 33-year-old Carey, if he suffers another serious injury that needs to miss more than six months, then his career can really be completely over.

"Casas has studied Kaili thoroughly, and knows what he is afraid of now..." Parotti said helplessly.

None of them expected Casas to do the job so far.

The reason why Carey was not allowed to start this game is that he hoped that Carey would be a surprise soldier at a critical time and beat Sarria by surprise.

As a result, this adjustment was not only completely within the opponent's expectations, but even Carey's psychological problems were taken into consideration by the opponent.

Of course, players who have been injured in a row have psychological shadows to some extent.

But during the training, neither Parotti nor Valentine, members of the coaching staff found this.

In training, Carey is very confident, dares to make moves with the ball, and can even accelerate breakthroughs.

Of course, everyone will not think in the direction of psychological shadow.

Then as soon as he got on the court, Carey revealed his stuff.

Facts have proved that no matter how close the training is to actual combat, it is impossible to truly compare with the actual competition.

Hu Lai just ran into an open space, and was waiting for Kyrie to pass the football over—during this period of training, he ran open, and they have practiced the simple offensive routine of Kyrie passing the open space many times. It can be said that they have mastered it. more proficient.

As a result, after he ran to the position, the football did not come, causing him to run directly to the offside position.

He slammed on the brakes and turned back.

Looking up, Kyrie dropped the ball again.

He was speechless.

Aren't you awesome in training, brother?

How did you stumble on the stage?

He knew what Brother Huan said yesterday.

It turns out that this is Sarria's "trick".

It really made them bet!

"Kyrie has never entered the rhythm of the game since he came on the court. His body is like a machine that has not moved for six months. Every joint is rusted to death. The movements are jerky, and he is afraid of confrontation... This is not possible!" He Feng was not very polite to Maxi Carey, because he lost the ball just now, which caused Hu Lai to miss the chance to score.

If the "Chinese Derby" in the Champions League last week made Chinese fans like He Feng have no special position, whoever wins or loses can accept it. So in today's "China Derby" in the league, everyone basically hopes that the Madrid Pirates will win.

Because only by winning can we continue to maintain our lead in the standings.

If they lose this game, the Madrid Pirates will lose the first place in the league-in another league game that ended before this game, the King of Madrid defeated Atletico Malaga 1-0 away, and Meli scored the only goal. The ball helps the team get all three points.

Now the King of Madrid has surpassed the Pirates in the standings and is temporarily ranked first. If the Pirates can win Sarria, they can return to the first place. But if they can't win, even if it's just a tie, they will have to fall to second place.

There are two Chinese players in La Liga, but only the Madrid Pirates where Hu Lai is qualified and capable of competing for the league championship. Chinese fans certainly hope that the Madrid Pirates can beat Sarria and continue to lead the standings.

In this way, at the end of the league, it is possible to win the league championship.

Hu Lai has already won the Chinese Premier League champion, the Chinese Super League champion and the Premier League champion. Wouldn't it be great if he could win the La Liga champion again?

It may be unfair to Zhang Qinghuan to think so, but this is indeed the true thinking of the vast majority of Chinese fans at this moment.

In the VIP box, Sophia, who was watching the game with her son and daughter, frowned and looked at the stadium.

The two children were looking back at their mother with puzzled faces.

It seems that I want to ask my mother why my father's performance is not good after playing?

Sophia knew why, but she didn't know how to explain it to the children.

Said that their father chose to escape because he was afraid of getting hurt?

How about that?

In their minds, Dad has always been an indomitable hero. How could such a thing as escape happen to Dad?

But her husband is indeed at large.

Facing the close-fitting press of the Saria players, Carey quickly passed the ball back, not even daring to stop at his feet.

In fact, the Saria player's feet did not sweep over this time.

So Carey was so frightened that he took the initiative to pass the football back.

It makes him look like a clown.

If this is Saria's home court, I'm afraid there will be laughter by now.

Carey's performance was not as good as expected, making the Madrid Pirates more passive.

He was already one goal behind and needed to attack, but Carey, as the organizer of the offensive series, could not play a normal role.

Parotti had to continue making adjustments.

He replaced another high center forward Ruiz who had just recovered from injury in the 72nd minute.

Then let Carey retreat and withdraw to the midfield to replace the replaced midfielder Damian Daya.

This also allows Kyrie to not have to turn his back to the offensive direction like a forward, and then fight hand-to-hand with the opponent where the defensive players are most dense.

His pressure can be less, and his performance may also improve.

But this positional adjustment seems to do little to help Carey get rid of the psychological shadow.

In other words, Carey has fallen into a vicious circle.

In short, Carey's performance in the retreat position is not very good.

In the last ten minutes of the game, the score was still 0:1, and the Madrid Pirates at home were behind.

The home team simply played the simplest long pass.

Go directly to high center forward Ruiz from the backcourt, and then let Hu Lai cruise around Ruiz to control the second landing.

At the same time, Sarria has completely given up attacking, and all members retreated to the goal, building a wall in the penalty area.

They only need to hold on for another ten minutes to take away three points from the away game.

This is an amazing victory!

In the last ten minutes of the game, the Madrid Pirates had no other tactics. They just kept passing high balls into the penalty area from the wing and from behind, looking for Ruiz.

Using this style of play to deal with Sarria, who is not strong, is really embarrassing for a giant.

But the pirates can't think about it now.

They don't even have the extravagant hope of winning now, as long as they don't lose... that's fine!

Zhang Qinghuan was substituted in the 80th minute, and Casas replaced him with a central defender to strengthen the air defense in the penalty area.

Zhang Qinghuan is now wearing a coat, watching the game nervously on the bench.

He was really nervous, for fear that the cooked duck would fly away.

Hu Lai is still on the field!

In this kind of chaotic battle, Hu Lai is often the trump card. Because he can find murderous opportunities in chaos!

When Zhang Qinghuan was replaced, Parotti also used up his last substitution quota. He replaced Luka Celovich, who started the game, with Tonini.

Hou Lai remained on the court and was not replaced.

Hu Lai's state in this game is indeed very average, but a player like him, even if his state is average, may play a key role as long as he stays on the court.

In this game, replacing Ion Martinez as the Pirates' starting left back is Iceland international Olaf Brinjorsson.

Although he also participated in the national team game, as a substitute left back for the Pirates, he was arranged by Parotti to start this game, allowing Ion Martinez to fully rest and set up eight points for the Champions League in the middle of next week Prepare for the second round of one of the finals.

Brynjolfsson failed to force a breakthrough from the wing, and the Saria full-back stuck around him, without giving him any space to kick the cross.

So Brynjorsson could only slam on the brakes near the baseline and pass the football to Tonini who supported him behind.

Tonini kicks the ball straight in - he doesn't dare stop the ball. The Sarria player is very aggressive. If he stops the ball, the opponent will be pushed in front of him and there will be no space to kick.

So he simply crossed directly.

As for the accuracy of such a direct cross...that's not what he should consider.

Anyway, now the Madrid Pirates are playing big punches, and the consideration is not the success rate at all, but intends to continue to use crosses to add weight to Sarria. Who knows which crosses will become the crushing Sarria The last straw?

Tonini's cross flew high into Sarri's box.

Not only Ruiz was in front of the goal, but in the last ten minutes, even the central defender Amantegui rushed to the goal, temporarily playing as a high center forward, competing for a header.

The football that flew into the penalty area was hit by Aman Teji.

He headed the football towards the goal!

Saria goalkeeper Frederick Bajon leaps into the air and struggles to block it.

After holding the football with his hand, the football flew to the crossbar, hit the crossbar and bounced back!

Like dropping a handful of feed into a calm pond...

Boiling up in front of the door!

Everyone rushed towards the football landing point.

But it is still Hu Lai who has the most accurate prediction of where football will fall!

In the chaos, he was the first to get stuck and stretched out his foot to stab the flying football.

Saria defender Adrian Juanma, who was behind Houleika, also stretched his foot to kick the football.

Doing so may cause him to foul Hu Lai and be awarded a penalty kick, or it may allow him to score an own goal...but he can't care about that much anymore!

He kicked Hu Lai's foot, and Hu Lai's foot hit the football!

Juanma's kick did not interfere with Hu Lai. Facing the football, Hu Lai's feet were surprisingly stable.

After 87 minutes of doing nothing, Hou Lai's right foot put the football into Saria's goal!
