Fox in the Penalty Area

Mario Salado raised his hand for the ball on the wing.

Catalan United midfielder Victor Campuzano transferred the football.

But Salado stopped the ball directly from the sideline with almost no physical confrontation or pressing...

The Catalan United fans in the stands were still shouting to cheer for the team. When they saw his mistake, they let out a loud and obvious sigh.

"The Catalan United players are a little panicked..." He Feng said upon seeing this. "Salado's mistake is really hard to describe. This is not his normal level."

Yan Kang laughed: "It's normal to panic. They haven't been in the game since the beginning of the game. Hu Lai scored two goals in a row, which made everyone panic. Bernal has not faced the ball after losing the ball." No matter what adjustments he made to the team's tactics, he still let the team continue to attack like this, but in fact the players of Catalonia United are a little confused now... They want to attack, but they are afraid of conceding another goal."

In fact, the reason why Catalan United head coach Jose Bernal did not make adjustments was because he was still hesitant and didn't think clearly about what he should do.

Should we let the team continue to attack, or should we shrink our defense and slow down for a while?

Until he saw Mario Salado's mistake, he realized that although he should attack hard after losing the ball and seek opportunities to get a goal back, the current situation is that since the beginning of the game, Catalan United has not been stable. Lived in the trenches...

They were overwhelmed by the Madrid Pirates.

Therefore, what we should do at this time is not to encourage the players to continue attacking, but to slow down the pace and let the players take a break. Otherwise, there will be many mistakes like Mario Salado. Every active mistake is a heavy blow to the morale and confidence of his team.

Moreover, he saw that the Pirates did not pursue the victory after the goal, but shrank. He was worried that the Pirates were planning a counterattack and sneak attack.

After Hu Lai scored two goals in nine minutes, he admitted that he was indeed scared, for fear that this person would score another hat trick.

In fact, it's no wonder that Bernal suddenly became "cautious".

There are indeed "painful" lessons learned from the past:

In last season’s Champions League group stage,

Hulay is still playing for Leeds City, and he visited the Holy Family Stadium for the first time with Leeds City. That game was Hulay's first visit to Catalonia's home court.

No one was optimistic about Leeds City before the game.

But Hu Lai scored a hat trick in this game!

Helped Leeds City beat Catalonia 4 away games...

In fact, after seeing Hulay score twice in nine minutes, Bernal had a strong sense of déjà vu, and then began to wonder if Hulay felt better at the Holy Family Stadium?

How else to explain that every time he comes here, it's like he's been injected with chicken blood?

When he was still in Leeds City last season, Leeds City faced Catalonia United at home. Leeds City lost 1: in that game. The person who scored the only goal for Leeds City was Jay Adams. Hu Lai failed to score.

In La Liga this season, Madrid Pirates faced Catalonia United at home, and the two sides played 0:0. Hu Lai still failed to score.

So as long as the opponent is Catalonia United, his performance in the away game must be better than at home?

Does the Holy Family Stadium have any status bonus for Hulay?

After Jose Bernal made his decision, he conveyed it to the players on the court through gestures on the sidelines.

"Catal United slowed down, and Pirates slowed down before... After a fierce first twenty minutes, both sides died down. It's amazing that this game ended like this. I think Most people probably didn't expect that the Pirates playing away games could score two goals so easily after the start of the game... Pre-match analysis believed that even if the Pirates could win, they would be in a hard fight and pay a heavy price. Because Catalonia Catalonia United also has the possibility of winning the championship...but now it seems that maybe we have overestimated Catalonia United’s determination to win the championship?”

Commentator Sanchez analyzed.

"After all, compared with the Pirates and Kings, Catalonia United has the smallest hope of winning the championship. Not only do they have to work hard to defeat the Pirates, but they also have to look at the results of the game between the Kings and Saria. This may lead to the Catalan United players being less motivated... …”

Although the performance of the Catalan League players after the start of the game was indeed not very good, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that they lacked motivation to win the championship.

After all, as a wealthy team, they also face the problem of championship PI.

They reached the final of the Copa del Rey, but lost to the Kings of Madrid.

If we can't win the league championship again, this season will really be a waste of water.

This is a complete failure for the giant Catalan United, and head coach Jose Bernal is under tremendous pressure.

So how could they not be motivated enough?

It can only be said that they were stunned by the combination attack of Madrid Pirates after the opening game.

After booing wildly, the Catalan United fans in the stands fell into silence watching the team's performance.

The pace of the game between the two sides was slowed down, and the fiery atmosphere at the Holy Family Stadium gradually cooled down.

Han Shuyu stood in the media box and looked around, taking in the silent Catalan United fans and the cheering Pirates fans. He was still a little confused. Wasn't it said that this was a difficult game?

How difficult it is!

It’s only half an hour and we’re already leading by two goals. If we keep playing, maybe we’ll be 0 in the first half, right?

Wouldn't that be...

No, you can't think so!

Han Shuyu shook his head vigorously to get this somewhat optimistic thought out of his mind.

What if the situation changes suddenly and Catalonia United chases three goals in a row?

Anything can happen in a football match. Even if the Madrid Pirates have the upper hand now, if Catalonia scores a goal, regardless of how the goal is scored, the direction of the wind will change...

So you can’t lose your character, you can’t stand it up!

Han Shuyu suppressed his inner joy and tried to maintain a tense expression.

Melli had just completed a wonderful pass, and his shot was saved by Saria goalkeeper Frederic Bajon.

Although he didn't score, it was still a very good performance.

Logically speaking, the stands should have applauded his wonderful performance at this time.

But all he heard were boos.

Melly looked up in surprise:

Did the Madrid Pirates score again? Who will score this time? Is it Hu Lai or someone else?

Melly didn't feel that these boos were for him. He immediately thought of another game.

This is because Kings fans have booed twice before.

So the Madrid Kings players know very well that this boo is not for them.

But it is not good news for them, because every time the boos sound, it means that the Madrid Pirates have scored a goal. Although they have not confirmed this through other channels, judging from experience, it should be like this. wrong.

But this time Melli and the other Madrid players guessed wrong.

"Catalan United recycled it?"

"Is this still their home court? Is it actually the Pirates who are playing at home?"

"Damn it! That coward Bernal!"

…

In front of the Madrid King's coaching bench, the coaches expressed their opinions on the latest news. Most of them were dissatisfied with Catalonia United's tactical adjustments.

Catalan United did not continue to attack when they fell behind by two goals. Instead, they shrunk their line, slowed down the pace, and went on the defensive.

This made the coaches of the Kings of Madrid very dissatisfied. They still expected Catalonia to fight back and equalize the score.

"It's really unpleasant... The Pirates only need to win Catalonia to win the championship, and we still have to see their faces..."

I don't know who complained in the end, and the rest of the discussion disappeared.

Because this is really a frustrating thing...

Zhang Qinghuan also heard the boos from the Crown Arena and came to the same conclusion as other Kings players:

It must be another goal from the Madrid Pirates side...

In addition to the previous boos, this is the third time.

So this means that Pirates Madrid leads Catalonia United away from home: 0?

Zhang Qinghuan suddenly felt funny. He had planned to make Hu Lai owe him a favor before.

As a result, I don’t need help at all, I can solve the problem on my own...

It's only been half an hour, and we can lead Catalonia by three goals. No matter how we think about it, there is no possibility of overturning. So this champion Madrid Pirates should be determined...

Although Zhang Qinghuan didn't know who scored these three goals, based on his understanding of Hu Lai, at least one of the three goals would be scored by Hu Lai, and most of the rest were closely related to him.

That stingy bitch, did you fight so hard to avoid being treated?

Zhang Qinghuan thought this and shook his head slightly.

fair enough.

After all, we are not here to provide Hu Lai with some divine assists...

It’s here to bring our season to a perfect end! (To be continued.)
