Fox in the Penalty Area

There was a display screen hanging from the ceiling of the stand diagonally above Sun Juan, which was showing pictures of Pirates players celebrating their goals.

She didn't look, but looked down, at the figure standing on the court with his hands on his hips.

Although she was far away and could not clearly see the expression on his face, Sun Juan could feel the emotion of this figure.

He was disappointed with the goal.

Sun Juan was also disappointed.

Although Hulay scored a goal and set a new Pirates record belonging to him.

But what does this have to do with myself, a fan of Zhang Qinghuan?

She came all the way to Barcelona not just to watch Hu Lai show off his power.

Today I met the pretty girl who was watching the video and thought she was here for the "Chinese Derby".

But in fact, she just happened to take annual leave at this time.

The purpose of her coming here was very simple, just to watch Zhang Qinghuan play football live.

She even hoped that Sarria would face a relatively weak opponent in this game, because in this way, Zhang Qinghuan's chances of scoring goals and winning would be greatly increased...

She really wants Saria to win, but just like she said to the little beauty, rational analysis shows that even if Saria has the home advantage, it will be difficult to resist the powerful Madrid Pirates.

Of course, this does not mean that football matches are only about paper strength. Whichever player is worth more and whoever is stronger will definitely win... After all, football is round, and the final result cannot be determined simply by strength comparison.

But the recent form of Madrid Pirates is really good.

After the start of the league, they won all the first eight rounds, just like Catalonia.

Recently, they have also defeated their city rivals Kings of Madrid and their fierce rivals Leeds City in the Champions League group stage.

It's like a heavy-duty truck pushing the accelerator to the bottom, completely adding up the speed.

Anyone who gets in the way of this truck will be knocked away without mercy.

How could Saria be blocked with such a small body?

※※※

Zhang Qinghuan turned his attention to Hu Lai, who was celebrating his goal.

Then sighed.

really.

It is indeed difficult to defeat such Madrid Pirates.

Their recent state has been so good that even if there are some ups and downs and problems, they have been covered up by Hu Lai's consecutive goals.

No team can be without problems, even the rich ones.

Zhang Qinghuan feels that if this was the Madrid Pirates last season, they would have made countless mistakes in the past eight league rounds.

As a result, this season, because of a Hu Lai, he was dragged to this point.

In the first 29 minutes of the game, Zhang Qinghuan could feel that Saria did not lose too much on the scene. As long as he could seize one or two key opportunities, he could completely threaten the goal guarded by Haywell.

But Torado is still not as good as Hu Lai in his ability to seize opportunities...

One time it was clear that Torado ran into the space, and his ball was passed to his feet without any bias, but his shot was too straight... and he shot the ball directly into the arms of Haywell.

At that moment, he really had the urge to look up to the sky and sigh. If this ball had been shot by Hu Lai, he would probably have scored!

Because of the difference in staffing and tacit understanding, it is well known that it is easier to play in the club than in the national team.

But for the first time, Zhang Qinghuan felt that playing for the national team was easier than playing for the club...

※※※

The Madrid Pirates' celebration did not last long. Facing an opponent of Sarria's level, they could not use their celebration to delay time.

Start early and maybe score another goal.

We are going to play Kiev away from home in the middle of next week. In order to free up energy, the league must end early.

A two-goal lead is not enough, one more goal is needed.

After Sarria kicked off, the Madrid Pirates first recovered their defense and allowed the opponent to attack.

When Zhang Qinghuan received the ball in the 30-meter area, Ramirez followed up.

Despite this, Zhang Qinghuan still carried Ramirez and tried to send a through ball to Torado.

As a result, this time I don’t know whether he passed the ball too big or Torado ran slower. In short, Torado did not catch the ball.

The football rolled directly out of the bottom line, and Saria's attack ended there.

Zhang Qinghuan, who was knocked to the ground just after sending a through ball, got up from the ground and apologized to his forward teammate Torado.

Although the attack failed, there was still applause from the stands.

While applauding, Sun Juan was still encouraging Zhang Qinghuan: "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! Just do it again!"

It was as if Zhang Qinghuan on the court could hear her voice.

After applauding, Sarria fans continued to use cheers, songs and applause to encourage their players and cheer them on.

Although two goals behind, Saria fans have not given up yet, and they do not want the players on the field to give up.

Amidst the cheers, Zhang Qinghuan expanded his range of activities, and he was everywhere.

He ran around the field tirelessly, actively asked for the ball from his teammates, and then moved the ball to other positions, using his passing and running movements to connect the team's midfield and frontcourt attacks.

Even if he lost the ball under Ramirez's tight defense, the Sarria fans in the stands did not blame him, let alone boo.

Instead he shouted:

"Well done, Zhang!"

"It's okay, Zhang!"

"Come on, Zhang!"

Sun Juanting cannot understand Spanish, but she understands the pronunciation of "Zhang". She guessed that these Saria fans were cheering for Zhang Qinghuan.

Then a smile appeared on her face, so proud.

Although Zhang Qinghuan worked hard to connect the team, under his leadership, Saria's offensive gradually improved.

But the superior Pirates scored again in the 66th minute.

Hulay's shot in the penalty area was saved by Sarria goalkeeper Bahun, and the Pirates won a corner kick.

It was through this corner kick that Madrid Pirates centre-back Kepa Amantegui scored with a header.

The score was rewritten to 0:3, and Saria, playing at home, was three goals behind.

The Parrot Stadium, which was quite lively before, suddenly became much quieter.

Although there is still nearly half an hour left in the game, everyone knows that facing the Madrid Pirates in such a state, the game is over.

Parotti began to make substitutions, and he replaced Dikunzo with high center Sanabria Ruiz.

Playing against Leeds City, Parotti plans to add a new scoring weapon to his team.

While Maxi Carey has not returned from injury, Parotti can only use this method to enhance the team's offensive firepower.

Madrid Pirates began to make substitutions, and Sarria's head coach Casas was also making substitutions.

He replaced Torado, who was not in good condition.

I wonder if Torado has been thinking about getting a bonus of 500,000 euros if he scores another goal. He played a little impatiently in this game.

Torado walked off the field a little disappointed.

He is indeed still thinking about his half a million...

※※※

Substitutions began, and the Madrid Pirates, who were preparing for the Champions League next week, gradually shrank their formation and slowed down the pace of the game.

Saria, on the other hand, presses forward. No matter whether he can win or not, at least he cannot be shaved off by the opponent at his home court.

They fought a positional battle in front of the Madrid Pirates penalty area.

Zhang Qinghuan still kept running left and right, connecting the team's offense.

But the Madrid Pirates defense is very thick, and the three lines of defense are not so easy to penetrate.

If the Madrid Pirates don't make mistakes themselves, it will be really difficult to score.

After passing the football back and forth, it still failed to penetrate the Madrid Pirates' defense.

Seeing that his teammates wanted to pass the ball directly from the wing to try their luck, Zhang Qinghuan decisively called a stop. He stepped forward and motioned for his teammates to pass the football back.

His teammates still trusted Zhang Qinghuan and quickly passed the football over.

Zhang Qing welcomed him up and prepared to catch the ball.

Ramirez saw this and came out of the defense to guard him.

But Zhang Qinghuan did not catch the ball.

When the football was about to roll in front of him, he turned sideways to let the football pass. At the same time, he used his body to block Ramirez from behind, letting the football roll past him.

"Zhang Qinghuan... give in! What a great shot!"

Amid the unexpected praise from commentator He Feng, Zhang Qinghuan quickly turned around and caught up with the football. Then... he picked up his left leg and used the power of his turn to kick the football directly!

When the ball just came out, Ramirez came over with a lunge. He pushed his foot out hard, but did not touch the ball!

The football rotated strongly to avoid Ramirez's blockage, and also bypassed the dense crowd in the penalty area.

Create a channel in the air and reach the goal!

Seeing the football flying towards the goal, Sun Juan in the stands widened her eyes and opened her mouth.

She was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe.

She saw the Belgian national goalkeeper of Madrid Pirates, Hewel, rising into the air and struggling to reach the football.

His wingspan of over two meters makes him look like an insurmountable wall in the air...

But this time, the little football was like a light butterfly, dodging away when it was about to be pounced on and breaking through Hewel's defense.

Then he dove into the goal!

Sun Juan came to life. She and all the Sarria fans around her jumped up, raised their arms and screamed:

"Ahhhhhh!!"

"Zhang Qinghuan! Zhang Qinghuan wow!! Beautiful!! Beautiful!! World wave!! Zhang Qinghuan faced the defense of Ramirez and Seawell and scored a world wave goal!"

He Feng also yelled crazily.

"Hu Lai scored a goal, and Zhang Qinghuan completed such a beautiful goal in the game! The two of them met in La Liga and gave us a wonderful 'Chinese Derby'!"

After Zhang Qinghuan made his iconic celebration, deafening shouts rang out from the stands of Parrot Stadium.

Although the tone is a bit weird, if you listen carefully, you can still hear what these Sarria fans are shouting.

They were chanting:

"Brother Huan, awesome!!"
