Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 298: The New Season Begins

Although the coaching staff all agreed to let Hu Lai enter the squad, in fact, when he returned to the team and started training with the team, there was only one day left before the second round of the league.

Therefore, being selected for the competition squad is enough to prove Hu Lai's status in the minds of the team's coaching staff - for ordinary players, they can't even make the competition squad, so they will honestly rest at home.

Zhang Qinghuan, as the core midfielder of Saria, did not return to Barcelona at all, and others are still on vacation in China... He will not return to the club until he has participated in the top 12 of the national team.

After all, not everyone has Hu Lai's quick recovery ability.

Before the home game against the newly promoted Malo plus United, Parotti said at the pre-match press conference that although Hou Lai was selected for the squad, he would not let Hou Lai start the game.

As for whether Hu Lai can play, it also depends on the situation of the game.

Nevertheless, in the second round of the league, the fans of the Pirates of Madrid filled the stands of the Pirates Park stadium.

"Brothers! The new season has begun! The new season has really begun!"

In the stands of Pirates Park Stadium, Han Shuyu said excitedly while holding up the camera to record.

In fact, the new season has already started, and the first round of the league was just finished a week ago.

But for Han Shuyu, seeing Hu Lai is the beginning of a new season.

Most of the fans of the home team in the stands of Pirate Park also had the same thoughts as Han Shuyu.

That's why there are so many fans for this game - and not just because it's the first home game for the Madrid Pirates this season.

Hu Lai, who was sitting on the bench, was frequently visited by TV cameras.

In this game, the Madrid Pirates' striker partners are Kyrie and Di Kunzo.

Although it has been proved that the two of them can't pee in the same pot, there is no better alternative, and they can only start at the same time-the starting striker combination of the last game was Di Kunzo and Ruiz, but the effect is mediocre, and Ruiz was injured in the 66th minute and was replaced early. Although the injury was not serious, it was just for the sake of insurance in this game, Parotti did not arrange for Ruiz to continue to start.

Instead, let Carey and Di Kunzo work together, and Parrotti doesn't expect any sparks between the two of them, as long as they can each play to their own level.

With just eleven minutes to go, Maxi Carey took advantage of a direct free-kick to score.

Scored the first goal of the season for the Madrid Pirates.

It seems to indicate that in this game, the Madrid Pirates will easily beat a newly promoted team like Loga United at home.

But the good times didn't last long.

In the 33rd minute, Loga United equalized the score.

In this game, Danny Drew, like Hu Lai, did not play the game, and he did not even enter the game squad.

Because he came to the team for too short a time, he was one day earlier than Hu Lai...

He and his teammates are not familiar enough, Parotti naturally did not arrange for him to play.

He may have to wait until after the national team matchday if he wants to play for the Madrid Pirates.

The starting central defender of the Madrid Pirates in this game is the combination of Riva Moreno and Antonio Bettia in the final stage of last season.

As for the old central defender Kepa Amantegui, who was seriously injured last season and was reimbursed for the season, he is still in the recovery period and currently cannot meet the requirements for playing games.

For Antonio Betia, this was a chance for him to turn around. If he can perform well in games where Drew has not been able to play, maybe the future Pirates central defender combination should be him and Drew.

But it's a pity, judging from this conceded goal, whether it is mentality or strength, he still can't meet the requirements of being the main force of the pirates...

※※※

In the first half, the two sides fought to a 1:1 tie.

In the second half, they changed sides and played again. Loga United, who played away, shrank their defense and placed a bus in front of their own goal.

It looked like the goal was to hold that score.

Los Angeles United also has the confidence to do so.

As newly promoted horses, they were promoted to the First Division as champions of the Second Division.

In the first round of the league, they defeated last season's fifth place Sebastia 1:0 at home, breaking an upset.

In that game, Loga United scored a goal at the end of the first half, leading Sebastia 1:0.

Facing Sebastian's indiscriminate bombardment in the second half, they froze and defended.

In the end, a small victory with one goal, won the first La Liga victory in team history and the first La Liga points.

In this game, Los Angeles United obviously wanted to repeat the old tricks.

In the second half, after nearly 20 minutes of bombardment by the Madrid Pirates around the goal of Loga United, Parotti finally decided to make a substitution.

A huge cheer erupted from the home stands as Hou Lai walked to the sidelines with the fourth official.

"Hu Lai is going to play! Beautiful!! Thank you Luo Jialian!!" Han Shuyu shouted happily from the stands.

The other Madrid Pirates fans around her were just as excited, but they probably wouldn't be chanting "Thank you Roca United"...

※※※

"Hu Lai is about to play! He has just finished the Olympic Games, and immediately appeared in La Liga. This somewhat makes people worry about his physical fitness..."

He Feng, who also just finished the commentary for the Olympic Games and then returned to China and began to commentate La Liga non-stop, said.

"But it also shows how important Hou Lai is to the Madrid Pirates... As the top scorer in La Liga last season, the Madrid Pirates really cannot do without him. Parotti announced before the game that Hou Lai will be included in the game. The list is really a wise decision... I don't know what performance Hu Lai can show in La Liga after just finishing the Olympic Games. Is it to continue the excellent state in the Olympic Games, or is it affected by fatigue in the Olympic Games? Of course , Chinese fans definitely hope that he can continue his excellent state..."

Parotti replaced Hou Lai, naturally hoping that he could help the team win the game.

It can be said that he carries the expectations of countless fans and is also under tremendous pressure.

However, in the close-up of the TV broadcast, Hu Lai had a calm expression, standing on the sidelines still twisting his buttocks, waiting for Di Kunzo, who was replaced, to come down and hand over to him.

Di Kunzo was disappointed because he was the one who was replaced. This means that in the mind of head coach Parotti, the person who can partner with Hou Lai is not him, but Maxi Carey.

As long as Kyrie is not injured in the future, he will definitely be a substitute.

He ran off the field in a low mood, gave Hu Lai a high-five, and then walked to the bench with his head down.

When passing by the coach's bench, Parotti reached out to shake his hand, and he just touched it briefly, without any communication, appearing a little indifferent. Gu Yu

This kind of performance may lead to many speculations from the media after the game.

But now no one is paying attention to Di Kunzo's side, and everyone's eyes are all on Hu Lai.

As he ran onto the pitch, Spanish commentator Alvarez Sanchez said passionately:

"Welcome back to your 'promised land', your stage - on the pitch of La Liga! After a successful summer, I hope you haven't forgotten what it's like to score goals in the league... Ladies and gentlemen! Last season's top scorer in La Liga - Hu! Here we go!"

Amidst the loud cheers at the Pirate Park Stadium, Hu Lai ran to his position and gave his teammates a thumbs up.

※※※

Ismail Kamara laughed when he saw him complimenting himself.

It was his second game with the Pirates of Madrid, but he felt as if his pirate career had just begun.

The difference is that there was no Hu Lai in the first game, but there is in this game.

It's like a ship sailing in the dark sea, suddenly found the lighthouse, saw the land, and then had the direction to go.

He also gave Hu Lai a thumbs up and told him in this way:

Just run, Hu, I will definitely pass the ball to your feet!

※※※

"Kyrie got the ball in the middle, he chose to split the side..."

The football was moved to the right by a long diagonal pass from Carey.

Ismail Kamara nearly stopped the football on the touchline.

After sprinting at high speed, he jumped up and raised his right leg as high as possible before intercepting the ball in the air.

It may be that it looks a little embarrassed and extreme, which gave Loga United's defensive players the illusion that "you can go up and break his ball now".

So when Kamara just stopped the football, the Loga United players rushed up and tried to steal the ball.

Unexpectedly, Kamara, who had just made an extreme stop motion, reacted very quickly, and immediately poked the football forward with his right foot!

Then he turned around to dodge the pressing of the Luo Jialian players, and accelerated the pursuit of the ball!

It's that simple to leave the opponent behind!

"Kamala! Beautiful!"

Kamala, whose starting speed is not inferior to Kabanka, threw the opponent far away in the blink of an eye. When the opponent turned around, he could not even see Kamala's "taillights"...

"Kamala! It's so fast!"

With the extreme stop and the sudden start, Kamara's movements are very fast, completely catching the opponent by surprise!

In a blink of an eye, he had already reached the edge of the penalty area. Facing the Logan United defender who came up to grab him, Kamara pretended to make an emergency stop and then cut inside, deceiving the opponent to brake. He gently pokes the football forward with the outer instep of his right foot, and the football enters the penalty area from between the opponent's legs.

Kamara himself started after an emergency stop and overtook from the outside.

The opponent has already turned to the inside, and it is too late to stop him.

When he came back, Kamara had already received the ball in the penalty area and was approaching the bottom line!

"Oh!!" Sanchez exclaimed, "The man with the crotch passed the ball!"

The cheers from the stands grew louder.

After Kamara approached the bottom line, he also approached the goal at the same time.

Loga United's goalkeeper quickly moved to the near post, blocking the angle of Kamara's shot.

But Kamara can't shoot at all, he raised his foot and passed the football!

An inverted triangle pass, accurately find Hu Lai who is inserted in the back row of the center!

"HUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"

In the roar of Sanchez's protracted voice, Hou Lai held the defender of Loga United and stretched out his feet to push the football towards the goal!

There is no suspense, the goal is scored!

"Hu Lai!! Hey! Beautiful! Hu Lai! He just scored with the first touch of the ball!! The first goal of the season! It came so easily! This is due to his excellent running position, but also benefited from it. Assisted by Kamara's nanny! Madrid Pirates take the lead again! This ball comes from the cooperation of two former Leeds City team-mates! Ha!"

Hou Lai, who scored the goal, ran to the corner flag area and made his iconic celebration, and the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands also shouted:

"HUUUUU!!!"

After landing, Hu Lai pointed to Kamara who assisted him, laughed loudly, and then opened his arms and waited for the opponent to pounce on him.

Kamala jumped up happily and hugged him to celebrate.

The French winger suddenly found the long-lost feeling.

When was the last time he and Hu Lai hugged and celebrated a goal?

In the first away game where the Madrid Pirates were tied 0:0 by Valero, he started the game, but his performance was not very good. He was substituted early in the 71st minute.

After the game, some media believed that he had not adapted to the rhythm of La Liga. La Liga and the Premier League are two completely different worlds.

At the beginning, Kamara thought so too. He needed time to adapt to the rhythm and methods of La Liga games.

But now he felt that might not be the case.

What is the difference between La Liga and the Premier League?

Anyway, it's just passing the opponent, and then passing the ball to Hu...

The reason he didn't play well in the first game was just because there was no guy in the game who made him pass the ball.

And now, he has a passing target.

Everything is so familiar...
