Fox in the Penalty Area

"Mellie shoots!"

Melli, who dribbled over laterally, shot with his left foot.

Pamplona's center back Gagliar Prasueno stepped forward to block the ball. In order to maintain his balance, his hands naturally opened.

But it was precisely because of his subconscious action that brought disaster to the team!

His outstretched arm hit the football!

Or to be precise, the football that Melli shot out... hit Prasueno's arm!

"Eh? This ball...Plazueno handballed it!"

After completing the shot, Melli immediately raised his arm and complained to the referee.

Other Madrid Kings players also raised their arms high and slapped their arms with the other hand, indicating to Prasueno that this was a handball foul!

The referee's whistle sounded decisively and he pointed to the penalty spot!

"Penalty kick! A penalty kick was awarded! In the 84th minute of the game, the Madrid Kings won a penalty! In fact, whether or not this penalty kick does not affect the result of this game, the Madrid Kings are already 3: at home. 0 ahead of Pamplona…”

The commentator Sanchez said this, but he obviously did not understand the situation inside the Madrid Kings team.

For example, why did the Madrid Kings still let Melli come on as a substitute for this game even though the Madrid Pirates did not include Julay in the squad for the game against Valentia?

This is because Melli wanted to catch up with Hulay in the league's top scorer list, so Royvi gave him 25 minutes of playing time.

So whether or not this penalty kick is important to Melly is important.

Now that he comes off the bench, he finally has a chance to score!

In the end, Melli stood in front of the penalty spot, and he wanted to take the penalty himself.

There was no suspense. After the whistle sounded, Melly made it in one fell swoop and the football flew into the goal!

"4:0!! The Kings of Madrid lead Pamplona 4:0 at home! Before the Pirates game started, they temporarily surpassed their rivals in the same city and ranked first in the standings!"

Melli was very excited after scoring the goal.

He punched three times hard at the Kings fans in the north stand of Crown Stadium!

"This is Melli's twenty-seventh league goal this season! For Melli, this is a season where he breaks out. He only scored 13 goals in the league last season and has not scored yet this season. At the end, his number of goals in the league has doubled from last season... Although this is related to Royvi’s adjustment of tactics, Melly’s performance did not live up to Royvi’s expectations of him!”

Otherwise, why is Merry said to be a top genius?

As a winger who mainly played on the wing last season, Melly only scored 13 league goals. But after gaining the right to fire in the tactical position this season, it took him less than a season to complete the change in tactical role. At the same time, through continuous training, his shooting skills also improved rapidly, and he was able to score so many goals. .

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

If his own shooting skills are not up to par, no matter how well he takes care of his tactics, it will not be easy for him to score so many goals.

"He did it! Four goals to go!"

In front of the Madrid Kings coaching bench, assistant coach Gonzalez cheered.

Since the Madrid Pirates have announced their squad for tomorrow's away game against Valentia, Hulay is not among them. So Meili really caught up with Hu Lai further.

From six goals behind to four goals behind.

There are still three rounds left in the league, maybe it can really be done?

"He has a fire in his heart..." Head coach Roy Wei nodded approvingly. "I feel that after playing in the Champions League semi-finals, even though he didn't win, he became more ferocious. If we make good use of this, we will definitely be able to make a comeback at home!"

※※※

After the celebration, Melli ran back to his own half with his teammates.

He had an excited smile on his face, and he was obviously in a good mood.

Coming off the bench and only having 20 minutes of performance time, he still seized the opportunity to score a goal. Finally, his efforts were not in vain.

Although it was said that the goal was scored by a penalty kick, the penalty kick was also created by him himself, so it was not considered an advantage. .

He didn't have much playing time but performed very well.

Melli continued his performance in the Champions League.

But if someone used this to praise him, he probably wouldn't recognize it.

Because he felt that his performance in the Champions League semi-finals was not good.

If it goes well, the Madrid king will not lose the game, and at least it should get a draw - he should have grasped the last shot.

And the second goal scored by the Pirates was started after Ramirez intercepted the ball passed to him.

At that time, he tried to defend, but he was just pretending... If he could have worked harder, or simply knocked Ramirez to the ground, even if he paid the price of a yellow card, Kyrie's goal would not have been achieved. Yes.

So although everyone was praising Melli's performance after the game, he himself was not satisfied.

For this reason, he has been holding back a lot of energy in his heart.

He will definitely not leave himself any regrets in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals next Wednesday.

Since the Olympics, he and Hu Lai have played against each other four times.

He lost all four times.

So he thinks the arguments on the Internet about who is stronger between him and Hu Lai are ridiculous.

If I'm really better than Hu Lai, then why haven't I won even once?

No matter how I perform in the game, the results are there. If you don’t win, you don’t win. No matter how many reasons and excuses you find, it’s useless.

The whole world says that Mellie Banega is the top star after the "Four Kings".

But if I can't defeat Hu, then I'm not qualified to accept the praise everyone gives me.

Because I don't deserve it!

Some fans found reasons for Melli's failure, saying that football is a collective sport and the failure of the Madrid Kings cannot prove Melli's failure.

Melly does not agree with this statement. As a key player of the Kings, the team's failure is indeed his personal failure.

Moreover, the king's overall strength is not weak, and is even slightly stronger than the pirates.

So why couldn't the king win?

Hu Lai can help the Pirates win the game, why can't I help the Kings win?

Am I worse than him?

Melly did not accept this conclusion. He must lead the King of Madrid to defeat Julay.

※※※

Melly scored the penalty kick in the 86th minute, a few minutes before the end of the game.

When the game restarted, Melli, who had already scored, was still very active.

He also wants to score goals.

If he is just satisfied with scoring one goal in a game, he will not be able to catch up with Hu Lai by the end of the league.

So he wanted to seize the moment and score another goal.

But this time Pamplona did not fulfill Melli's wish.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score did not change anymore and was fixed at 4:0.

The Kings of Madrid beat Pamplona with four goals at home.

They used a rotating lineup in this game, but Pamplona was not strong and the Kings were playing at home, so they ended up winning with four goals.

In the league between the two Champions League semi-finals, they passed smoothly.

The Madrid Pirates who also rotated were not so easy to pass. They faced a strong enemy in this round:

Valentia.

It's really a narrow road for enemies - Valentia has just been eliminated by Pirates in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It’s true that those who have been wronged must be repaid with injustice, and those with grievances must be revenged.

Moreover, neither Hulay nor Carey came with the team to the away game this time. The rotation of the Madrid Pirates is very large.

It almost makes one wonder whether Parotti is giving up on the domestic league.

Facing the aggressive Valentia, Parotti asked the team to play defensive counterattack.

Except for the back line, almost all other positions have been rotated.

Betiya, who came on as a temporary substitute in the last game to replace the injured Amantegui, also started this game.

Parotti hopes that he can play more games and find the feeling of the game.

There is no problem with Betia's physical fitness. Parotti is not worried that after playing this game, he will not be physically able to cope with the Champions League semi-finals against the Kings of Madrid.

After Amantegui was retired for the season, the only solution Parotti could find was to put Betia on top.

Antonio Betia is in the team and is a regular rotation player.

He was trained by the Madrid Pirates Club's own youth academy and was in the same class as Joaquin Vela.

His ability is slightly weaker, but the victory is that he is loyal enough to the team to let him play as a substitute, and he does not complain or lose his temper. He is very clear about his positioning and knows that he cannot compete with the main combination of Moreno and Armantegui, but he still enjoys playing for the team he has supported since childhood. Low salary and not being able to play in the main team are not problems for him, because he has realized his childhood dream.

It can be said that unless the Pirates Club no longer needs him, he will not take the initiative to apply for a transfer and leave.

Such a player is an indispensable role in any team, and is also loved by any head coach.

For substitute players, ability is not the most important thing. Otherwise, who would be willing to be a substitute if they had the ability?

Valentia launched a fierce attack on the Pirates goal from the beginning of the game.

They are hungry for revenge and want to defeat Madrid Pirates at home.

As long as they can defeat the Madrid Pirates, the Madrid King will take the opportunity to take over.

Although Valentia is not a supporter of the King, if the Pirates can lose the league championship, it will be revenge for being eliminated from the Champions League by the Pirates.

The aggressive Valendia did get the ball first.

But they were only happy for eighteen minutes, before the end of the first half, they were equalized by Madrid Pirates.

The goal was scored by high center forward Ruiz, who started the rotation in this game.

Then Valentia fought hard.

But even though they paid the price of a red card, they still failed to change the score.

The score of 1:1 remained until the end, and the Madrid Pirates took one point away from home.

As a result, the Madrid Pirates have 89 points, the same as the Kings. With the advantage of the winning relationship between the two sides, the Pirates still rank first.

It's just that this first place is not guaranteed, and the suspense of winning the championship has increased sharply.

In this round of the league, Catalonia, which had no interference from the Champions League, defeated Real Catalon 3:2 away from home.

Assuming that all three teams maintain complete victory before the last round of the league, then the points situation should be that Madrid Pirates ranks first with 95 points, Madrid Kings second with 95 points, and Catalonia United third with 93 points. name.

If Catalonia want to win the championship, they must defeat Madrid Pirates at home, and they must also count on their city rivals to help defeat the Madrid Kings away from home.

From this point of view, Catalonia's hope of winning the championship is the slimmest.

The Kings have the easiest time, they only need to defeat Saria, which is not strong, at home.

The Madrid Pirates, who have been in the lead for most of the season, are very likely to lose the league championship in the end.

If this really happened, it would be really tragic...
