Fox in the Penalty Area

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Melli——! He finally scored! He broke the deadlock for the Kings of Madrid! After fifty-seven minutes of stalemate, the Kings of Madrid finally took the lead with Melli's goal!"

The boos at Royal Steele's home court were loud. Amidst the boos, Kalashnikov looked at the assistant coach Gonzalez in front of him and turned around and rushed out with a roar, and he himself was stunned for a second. After Zhong reacted, he also rushed out and cheered and celebrated with his teammates on the bench.

In the final sprint to compete with Madrid Pirates and Catalonia for the league championship, every point is precious.

And Melli's goal opened the door to victory for them.

It also made all the dark clouds that had been hanging over the bench dissipate!

After scoring the goal, Melly did not punch three times in the stands this time. Instead, he ran directly to Cerrados who assisted him, hugged him, and shouted in his ear: "Thank you, captain." ,Thanks!"

He knew in his heart that without the captain, this goal would not have been scored. Not because the captain passed the ball to him, but because the captain insisted that he stay in the frontcourt instead of retreating.

Although playing like this is not in line with his habits. But at critical moments, keeping him in the frontcourt can save time and energy.

When the captain lets him stay in the frontcourt, it means that the captain intends to let him be the terminator, and the captain himself will pave the way for him.

The captain has already rolled out the red carpet at Melly's feet. All Melly has to do is simple, step on the red carpet, welcome the flashing lights, and become the most dazzling star tonight.

Melly knew in his heart that this was the opportunity that the captain had sacrificed himself for.

Although he himself said that he wanted to compete with Hu Lai for the league's golden boot, the captain did not publicly support him in the locker room, but made his position clear with practical actions on the court.

Faced with Melly's sincere thanks, Cerados said nothing. He just patted his back hard and then raised his hand to rub Melly's hair into a mess.

Then the two were overwhelmed by other Madrid Kings players. .

Joseva Olmo in front of the TV saw this scene and sighed softly.

He thought again of what Cerrados said to him on the phone.

Then he was even more sad:

Even if our time has passed,

You don't have to lie down on the ground to be a stepping stone for Merry, right?

After Melly scored, he was still replaced in the 60th minute. Royvi did not give him extra time to score more goals just because he scored.

After all, there is the Champions League semi-final against Madrid Pirates next.

It is impossible for him to really affect the Champions League semi-finals just for Melli's league golden boot goal.

He is the head coach of the team, so he is naturally responsible for the team's performance. As for the individual players' performance, comparatively speaking, he does not pay that much attention and attention.

Melli had nothing to say. He also knew that the next Champions League semi-final against Madrid Pirates was the most important game.

So the expression on his face was as usual when he came off the field.

Although only scoring one goal is a bit small, it is better than not scoring a goal, right?

Melli's dismissal did not affect the performance of the Madrid Kings. His goal has helped the team break the deadlock. As long as the Madrid Kings play normally, they can control the rhythm of the game in their own hands.

In the 76th minute, the Kings of Madrid nearly sealed the victory with a long-range shot from midfielder Carles Regallon, who was on rotation, extending their lead.

After this goal, Royvi also replaced Cerrados, who started the game.

Although he handed over the firing rights in the team, Cerrados was still the team's main force most of the time. Next game against Madrid Pirates, Cerrados is needed even more.

Because he is the "King of the Madrid Derby", especially at Pirates Park. He has scored a total of fifteen goals in the Madrid Derby, and he has scored nine goals on the road, which is more than half of the total goals. It can be seen that Pirates Park has a "home away from home" effect for Cerrados.

Royvi hopes to use the special effects of Cerrados against Madrid Pirates to help the team defeat their rivals in the same city away from home and gain a head start.

In the 34th round of the league, the Madrid Kings defeated Real Steele 2:0 away from home. Melli scored a goal, which was his 26th league goal this season.

A little later, Madrid Pirates defeated Aher 1:0 at home and continued to lead the standings with a two-point advantage.

Hulay, who came on as a substitute in this game, did not score a goal - he came on the scene in the last ten minutes of the game, leaving too little time for him.

Because Hu Lai didn't score, the goal Melli scored before he was replaced is very precious. Now there is a five-goal difference between the two, and there are four rounds left in the league. Maybe Melli really hopes to counterattack Hu Lai. Where's Lai?

Parotti is also preparing for next Tuesday's Champions League semi-finals, resting many main players including Hulay.

It's normal for Hu Lai to take a rest.

But Maxi Carey, who performed well in the league last weekend, also took a rest, which makes people wonder-what is Parotti going to do?

During the game, the broadcast camera focused on Maxi Carey sitting on the bench many times, trying to infer Carey's inner thoughts through his expression.

As we all know, Carey is not a person who is good at hiding his emotions. If he is unhappy, he will show it directly.

So if Kyrie, who is sitting on the bench, shows something wrong, such as "disdain", "irritability", "anger" and other expressions, everyone will know that Kyrie is dissatisfied with this arrangement of making him a substitute.

Even a expressionless face can be interpreted as "indifferent".

But what disappoints some people who don't take it too seriously is that Kyrie, who is sitting on the bench, seems to be in a good mood. He is also chatting and laughing with left back Ion Martinez, who is also a substitute next to him.

Since Kyrie is not dissatisfied with the league making him a substitute, there is only one truth - Parotti should allow Kyrie to get more playing time in the next Champions League semi-final against Madrid Kings. Otherwise, how could he appease the grumpy Kaili?

Hu Lai only got the chance to play in the last ten minutes of this game, while Carey simply sat on the bench for 90 minutes without playing.

But he wasn't annoyed at all. At the end of the game, he and his teammates on the bench stood up to applaud the team's victory.

He did get a promise from coach Parotti - as long as his body is OK, then he will start in the Champions League semi-finals against Madrid Kings next Tuesday.

Be a starter, not a substitute.

This will be his first start in the Champions League this season.

So Kyrie has no problem at all with not playing in the league.

He was even eager to play because he could avoid injuries.

The thirty-fourth round of the league is over, and there is almost no change in the rankings of the teams in the standings.

The top three are even more so:

Madrid Pirates ranked first with 88 points, followed by the Kings with 86 points, and Catalonia ranked third with 84 points.

Next, Catalonia United can sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

Look how much impact the Champions League will have on their two rivals.

The best result is that the rivals of the same city, the Madrid Pirates and the Madrid Kings, will have their brains broken out in the Champions League, and then it will affect the league.

Especially Madrid Pirates, they are four points ahead of Catalan United. If Catalan United only hopes to defeat Madrid Pirates at home in the last round, Catalan United will not be able to counterattack and win the championship.

It would be better if Madrid Pirates made another mistake before this happens.

In their view, the league round between the two Champions League semi-final rounds is suitable.

Pirates of Madrid will travel to Valentia.

Does Valendia, who was just eliminated from the Champions League by Madrid Pirates, want revenge?

This is a great opportunity, don’t miss it if you pass by!

During the intra-team duel, Melly pretended to cut inside, and with a few small steps, he knocked down the full-back Gabriel Ngoza who was guarding him to the ground. Melly himself broke through Ngoza in a straight line and entered the penalty area.

Then facing center back Nuno Sequeiros, who rushed to block him inside, he also feinted with his upper body - pretending to cut in, but instead moved the football towards the outside baseline.

Then, at a very small angle, he shot into the near corner!

Although goalkeeper Rodriguez Bakker fell to the ground and dived sideways for the first time, he still could not stop it.

The football flew into the goal from the near corner.

Someone on the training ground whistled: "Oh! So beautiful!"

Assistant coach Gonzalez applauded on the sidelines and said to head coach Roy Wei: "Melli is in such good condition, he actually agrees to your request... How on earth did you convince him?"

In the match against Madrid Pirates, Royvi intends to make some changes.

If the Pirates' players focus their defense on Melly, then he will let Melly pass the ball to Cerrados to create scoring opportunities for Cerrados.

This is the inspiration that Royvi found in the league's "Madrid Derby".

In that game, he asked Roy Vido to pass the ball to Melli, hoping to take advantage of Melli's excellent form to score.

As a result, the Pirates tightened their defense against Melli, making it difficult for Melli to score.

At this time, Cerrados failed to pass the ball to Melli when he was supposed to pass it. Instead, he chose to shoot by himself, which achieved better results.

Royvi wanted to do the same in the Champions League semi-final against Pirates.

Melly has scored consecutive goals recently, and the Madrid Pirates will definitely defend him heavily, so Royvi will get more opportunities.

Coupled with a little metaphysical bonus, Royvi is ready to catch Madrid Pirates off guard in the away game.

However, there is a difficulty with this method, and that is how to convince Meili, who is competing with Hu Lai, to sacrifice himself to help Cerrados.

Last time, Melly took the initiative to come to Royvi and offered to start in the game against Royal Steele. From this incident, it can be seen that Melly is no longer the person who silently accepted everything he said before. , his self-awareness is getting stronger and stronger.

Unexpectedly, this time it turned out to be surprisingly smooth. After Royvi found Melli and expressed his plan, the Argentinian nodded and agreed without saying a word.

"I didn't convince him at all. I think maybe it was because of the game against Real Steele when Cerrados assisted him with a goal..." said Royvi.

Gonzalez guessed: "So he doesn't want to owe Cerrados a favor?"

Roy Wei shook his head: "No, he should have further understood 'sacrifice' and 'responsibility' from Roy Wei..."

The confrontation on the field continued. Melly, who scored a goal from a small angle on the wing, quickly made a comeback. Since he had just scored a goal in the same way, the defense invested more troops to contain him this time, almost killing him. All shooting angles and possibilities are blocked.

However, Melli used the outside instep of his left foot very covertly to move the football to the center.

Cerrados followed up with a push and the football flew into the goal guarded by Bakker again.
