Fox in the Penalty Area

"Ruhrlein is here again!"

Whether it was the Spanish commentator Sanchez or the Chinese commentator He Feng, there was panic and worry in their voices when they shouted this sentence.

To deafening cheers at the Figna Arena, John Set shook off Joaquín Vela and then passed the ball to Janus Aye in front before being knocked to the ground by Vukovic. Deman.

With his back to the direction of attack, Edman resisted Madrid Pirates' center back Danny Drew and passed the football to the wing.

Then he turned around and rushed into the penalty area.

It was Ruhrlein's left back Stefan Cobb who received Edman's pass on the wing.

He began to adjust his steps when the football was passed towards him. When the football rolled to his feet, he did not stop the ball, but raised his left leg and passed directly!

The football drew an arc and flew towards the goal of the Madrid Pirates.

There, Edman, who had just rushed into the penalty area, took a lunge and leaped forward!

Facing another Madrid Pirates center back Riva Moreno who rushed over and tried to compete with him, Edman did not flinch and ran into him head-on!

He used his physical advantage to push away Moreno and then made a solid push to the top!

Bang!

The football hit by his forehead flew toward the goal!

Although Hewel made a save, there was not much he could do in the face of this close header...

The football flew into the goal before he could pounce on it!

"tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur!!!" the commentator of the German TV station shouted, "Edman! A beautiful attack by Janus Edman! Ruerrhein leads Madrid Pirates 2:0 at home! Ladies and gentlemen, this result Is this what you could have imagined before the game? The defending champion was beaten away by Ruerrhein and was unable to fight back! "

"This ball fully reflects Edman's physical condition! It's simply outstanding! Moreno is also a player known for his outstanding physical confrontation ability, but in front of Edman, he is like a paper man! This is Edman's second goal in this game is also his twelfth goal in the Champions League this season! It is also his brace in two consecutive Champions League games! "

After scoring, Edman ran towards the corner flag and then did a somersault!

With his height of nearly 1.9 meters, such a somersault is quite visually impactful.

It also fully illustrates how good his physical fitness is - when he landed, his body didn't even stagger.

The Ruhrlein players ran towards him excitedly to celebrate the goal.

Behind them, or around them, the Madrid Pirates players looked numb and frustrated.

The continuous blows made them no longer know what emotions to show.

pain?

anger?

Not willing?

Maybe it's all possible, so what finally showed up on the face was "numbness".

It's less than ten minutes since the game started.

They were scored by Edman with a long shot.

In the 21st minute, Hulay equalized the score for Madrid Pirates.

However, Var announced that Hu Lai was offside when receiving the ball, and the goal was invalid.

Ten minutes into the second half, Ion Martinez, the main left back of the Madrid Pirates, was dissatisfied with the line referee for kicking the football out of the sideline and awarding the throw-in to Ruhrlein. He yelled at the linesman with his tone and attitude. All quite disrespectful. The referee who rushed over showed him a second yellow card and was sent off.

With one less player, the Madrid Pirates are more passive.

Parotti had to replace Dikunzo with Icelandic left-back Olaf Brynjolfsson to ensure the integrity of the team's defense.

But the Madrid Pirates' offense was further weakened.

Finally, in the 76th minute, the Madrid Pirates, who had been passively beaten, conceded another goal.

With ten minutes left in the game, trailing by two goals and one man missing, this almost spelled the end of the game for the Madrid Pirates.

punishment.

If you include their 1:2 away defeat to Manchester United in the second leg of the quarter-finals, the Madrid Pirates have suffered two consecutive defeats in the Champions League.

This is very rare - this has never happened since Hu Lai joined the team.

The TV broadcast also gave Hu Lai a close-up shot at this time.

It seems that he is using camera language to question Hu Lai:

You see Edman has scored twice, what about you? You don’t intend to express it?

Seeing this shot, Xie Lan in front of the TV did not cheer for his son noisily before, but murmured: "Being healthy is the greatest victory. Not getting hurt is better than anything else..."

I don’t know if I really think so, or if I’m just looking for an excuse to comfort myself.

Ricardo Barria glanced at Luo Kai beside him and said, "I don't think you can compete with Hu in the final..."

Luo Kai looked at Hu Laite on the screen, who also had a look of helplessness on his face.

He thought for a while, he had never seen such a slightly embarrassed Hu Lai before.

Maybe... Hu Lai was like this when he was a freshman in high school?

After that, whether he was on the school team or entering professional football, there seemed to be no problem that Hu Lai couldn't solve.

He is always good at creating all kinds of miracles... Is there really nothing he can do this time?

Luo Kai couldn't believe it.

It's like a mortal enemy who is always against you. No matter what methods you use and all your efforts, you can't kill him completely. He can always survive and escape from desperate situations.

So even if he saw with his own eyes that Hu Lai had very few opportunities in these more than 70 minutes of game time, he couldn't believe that Hu Lai really couldn't score.

Maybe when the Madrid Pirates kick off, Hulay can take advantage of the kick-off opportunity to score a goal?

"Wait a minute, Ricardo, the game is not over yet." Luo Kai said. "As long as Hulay can score a goal, the Pirates will have hope of a comeback when they return home in the second round."

Ricardo Barria thought about it and felt that what Luo Kai said made sense.

The Madrid Pirates do not need to win this game, they only need to score a goal to change the total score to 1:2. After returning to their home court in the second round, the Madrid Pirates still have a high chance of advancing.

If he just scores a goal... it's still possible.

※※※

Twenty minutes later.

Barea shook his head and asserted: "Although there is one round left, I think the defending champion is definitely out."

Luo Kai did not express any objection this time.

He just stared silently at the players from both sides who had different reactions on the TV screen:

The Ruhrlein players were celebrating, while the Madrid Pirates players looked dejected.

Seeing that Luo Kai didn't speak, Barea thought that he was still feeling unwilling for his compatriots, so he asked: "What? Do you really think that the Madrid Pirates can reverse the comeback? The two-goal lead is not big, but now The Pirates have a big problem. Even if they return home and can't solve their offensive problems, how can they make a comeback?"

Luo Kai doesn't know how to make a comeback. Madrid Pirates' current problems are indeed serious.

Maybe Hu Lai is really powerless this time?

Including injury time, Hulay failed to score in the remaining 20 minutes of the game, and the Madrid Pirates eventually lost to Ruhrlein 0:2.

"So let's go for it, Luo. Try to defeat Catalonia United tomorrow and reach the final!" Ricardo Barria encouraged Luo Kai. "You will be the only Chinese player representative in the Champions League final!"

Luo Kai nodded, he indeed had such a consciousness.

And in a sense, this can be regarded as his defeat of Hu Lai...

※※※

"competition is over!"

At the same time as the cheers of the Catalan United fans, the Catalan United song was played on the radio at the Sagrada Familia Stadium.

Luo Kai leaned over and put his hands on his knees, breathing heavily. At the same time, he looked up at the Catalan United players who were cheering and celebrating.

Further in the direction he looked, there was a large screen above the stands of the Holy Family Stadium.

The final score of the game is displayed on it.

Catalan United 2:0 Tramed

This score definitely does not fully reflect the actual performance of the two teams in this game.

If the score is determined based on their respective performances, then the score will have to be doubled. It should be Catalonia 4:0 Tramed.

Catalonia United's luck was not good, and they missed several excellent scoring opportunities. As a result, they could only beat Tramed by two goals...otherwise, they would have ended the suspense of two rounds in one round.

I watched the match between Madrid Pirates and Catalan United before, and I felt that Catalan United, a giant, had a false reputation, and it was possible for Hulay to beat him at his home court, which was a joke.

Now that it was his turn to experience it for himself, Luo Kai wanted to know how Catalonia allowed Hulay to score hat tricks at four consecutive home games?

It's obviously very strong!

Especially Kabangka.

Tramed players are no strangers to Kabangka, as the two are rivals in the same city.

Not just Luo Kai, this match made every Tramed player feel the changes in Kabangka.

Both goals in this game were scored by Kabangka.

Secondly, he also created two very threatening opportunities, but it was a pity that his teammates failed to grasp them.

Otherwise, why is the score not just 2:0?

Now Tramed lost 0:2 in the first round, and even the score was the same as yesterday's game.

Luo Kai then thought of Hu Lai's embarrassing appearance yesterday.

It turns out that I am just as embarrassed as him...

"... In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals that ended on Tuesday night on the 30th, the away team Madrid Pirates lost 0:2 to Ruerrhein. They were already at a disadvantage in the two rounds... This is the first time this season that the Madrid Pirates Failed to score in the Champions League..."

"Since Ramirez was injured, the Madrid Pirates have been in trouble. In the three league games before this Champions League, the Madrid Pirates won two and drew one. The two wins were both 1:0, and the draw was That game was 0:0, and their offense encountered a serious crisis. From these three league games, we can see the hidden dangers of Madrid Pirates. So when they met the stronger Ruhrlein in the Champions League, all the All the problems were exposed..."

"Hu started @in this game and played the whole game, but failed to score. Counting the previous game with Valero, Hu has failed to score in two consecutive games. Two consecutive games It’s not common for Hu Lai to not score in every game..."

"...When Hulay was in deep trouble in Dortmund, his teammate Luo Kai in the national team also lost to Barcelona. Tramed was beaten 0:2 by Catalonia United in the away game and Luo Kai was unable to fight back. Although @started the game and played the entire game, his performance was mediocre...

"You must know that Luo Kai's performance in the quarter-finals was very good, and he was an important contributor to the team's advancement to the semi-finals. But in the first round of this semi-final, his performance was very mediocre. Plus The strong strength of Thai United and the terrible home atmosphere seem to have restricted his performance...

"I think for Chinese fans, the most important thing now may not be whether Hu Lai can defend the league and Champions League titles, nor whether Hu Lai and Luo Kai can meet in the Champions League final. The most important thing is actually to pray for Hu Lai and Luo Kai. Kai should not be injured in the remaining games... Considering that after the Champions League final, there is only half a month left before the start of the World Cup. It is possible that Madrid Pirates and Tramed will be eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals, which will be very disappointing to Chinese fans. On the contrary, the most beneficial result..."
