Fox in the Penalty Area

1st

Carlos Cordero was lying on the ground, his head facing the goal he was guarding.

And now, there is a football parked in the door.

Cordero covered his face with his hands and lay motionless on the ground.

This scene reminded many people of the game in the eighteenth round of this season.

Cordero also looked like this after losing the ball.

But he did this because his mistake resulted in conceding the ball.

But now it's not because of any low-level mistakes he made.

In fact, Cordero's performance in this game was okay, or normal, and he did not make any incredible mistakes.

But this still cannot change the result that his goal was penetrated by Hu Lai four times...

In the stands behind him, there was a big screen.

The big screen displays the real-time score of the game so far:

In the 82nd minute, Madrid Pirates led Catalonia 5:3.

The majestic Catalan giants were conceded five goals at the home stadium of Madrid Pirates.

So far, whether it is a total of eight goals or five goals, it is a record in the history of the confrontation between Catalonia United and Madrid Pirates in the past 40 years.

Deafening cheers echoed throughout Pirates Park.

Lying on the turf, Cordero seemed to really feel the stadium shaking...

Hulay, who scored the goal, did not make his signature celebration this time, but jumped towards the high center Sanabria Ruiz who gave him the assist.

The latter lifted him up so that almost the entire upper body of Hu Lai was higher than his shoulders.

Julay, who was being held by Ruiz, was shaking his fist at the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands.

Ruiz just held him in circles so that he could greet the fans in the stands on all sides.

Led by the on-site DJ, the fans at Pirates Park cheered in unison:

"Hulay! Hulay! Hulay! Hulay! Hulayhulayhulayhulayhulay——!!"

"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU——!"

“LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!!!”

The fourth goal scored by Hu Lai was unremarkable from a viewing point of view, far from beautiful.

It was a high ball pass from the wing, and then Ruiz nodded the ball in front of him. Hulay suddenly came out of the middle, stretched out his foot, and the football flew into the Catalan United goal...

But it was such an unremarkable goal that completely ignited the atmosphere at Pirates Park.

With about ten minutes left in the game, Julay's goal gave Madrid Pirates a two-goal lead.

what does that mean?

This means that Madrid Pirates will win the league championship one round ahead of schedule!

This does not mean to look down on Catalonia United.

Theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible for Catalonia to chase three goals in a row in the remaining ten minutes and turn defeat into victory.

But if Catalonia can do it, why can’t Madrid Pirates?

Of course Catalonia can score three goals in the remaining ten minutes, but Madrid Pirates can also score four goals in these ten minutes - who dares to say that the Pirates can't?

Therefore, for Catalonia United, the remaining ten minutes of the game are just a dying struggle and cannot change their final destiny.

For the second consecutive season, they lost the league title to Madrid Pirates in the final stages of the league.

Perhaps Catalonia should consider asking La Liga not to schedule their game against Madrid Pirates in the final rounds of the league.

In this way, even if they lose, the psychological impact on them will not be that strong...

"Big four! Hulay performed a big four! This is his second big four in the league this season! Before the game, there were voices saying that the away game against Catalonia was good news, because Hulay played at home. Catalan United, on the other hand, did not perform as well as away from home. The reason is that in the confrontation between the two sides at Pirates Park last season, Hulay did not score a single goal... Well, now Hulay has scored two goals in one game!"

"Since moving to Madrid Pirates, Hulay has faced the other two Western Premier League teams eight times in the league. In these eight games, he has scored a total of 17 goals! What a terrifying number of goals, how unbelievable Such efficiency! He is truly a 'rich killer'!"

"This season, we have scored goals in thirty-three consecutive league rounds, fifty-seven goals in a single season! When I reported these numbers, I even had a sense of unreality... There has never been such a terrifying situation in European football before. Phenomenon! Along the way, Hu Lai has trampled all the 'common sense', 'clear rules' and 'hidden rules'... all under his feet! He used practical actions to show that don't set limits for him and don't draw conclusions for him without authorization. Record ? Records are meant to be broken! Ceilings? Ceilings are meant to be broken! Those inherent perceptions, prepared labels, stereotypes... none of them apply to Hu Lai!"

"He is nobody! He is Hu Lai! He has walked the road that has been walked by his predecessors, and he has also walked the road that no one has walked! As a bystander, it is meaningless to care about and guess where he will end up before stopping. All we need to do is to appreciate the scenery along the way and... cheer for him! That's enough, friends, that's enough! Come on for him, friends. To have Hu Lai, we What a blessing!”

After Hu Lai completed his fourth birthday, He Feng, a literary and artistic young man, couldn't help but beat his heart violently and wrote an impromptu essay for Hu Lai.

Next to him, Yan Kang joked: "Madrid Pirates fans must also say: How lucky we are to have Hu Lai! Haha!"

※※※

Countless Madrid Pirates fans were cheering in the stands. Many of them couldn't wait for the game to end and were now shouting in the direction of the cemetery:

"Mom! We are defending the league championship!"

"Honey, did you see that? We are champions again!"

"Thank you, Dad, thank you for keeping Hu safe from injuries and illnesses this season. Did you see it? We are going to win the championship! Please continue to bless him and bless him to score in the Champions League final and defeat the Kings!"

"O God! Thank you for giving us the great and magical Hulay..."

…

They're crying, they're laughing.

Last season, Madrid Pirates defeated Catalonia United and won the championship on the road.

There weren't many Pirates fans at Holy Family Stadium.

Now, almost the entire stadium is filled with Pirates fans, who can celebrate to their heart's content and make up for the regret of not being there when the team won the championship last season.

The carnival of winning the championship has begun!

Cordero was still lying on the ground, and no one tried to pull him up. Because the other Catalan United players don't have the intention to comfort others - they themselves still need comfort.

The team's main center back Joel Jimenez stood in front of the goal with his hands on his hips, looking blankly at the celebrating Madrid Pirates players.

Hu Lai's goal just now was scored from in front of him.

Strictly speaking, it was because he failed to guard against Hu and reacted slowly.

But Jimenez didn't blame himself.

Failing to guard against Hu Lai seemed to be a matter of course and not worth mentioning in his mind.

I didn't guard against Hu... isn't that normal?

He has scored goals for every team this season... He has scored every opponent's goal, so why do you ask me to guard him?

Jimenez had to think this over and over in his mind, because otherwise, he was afraid that he would collapse.

It’s really frustrating...

Catalan United is also a European-level giant, and he is the main central defender of the Spanish national team and the main central defender who has won the World Cup!

But every time he faced Hu Lai, it was always the background when he celebrated his goals.

Why? !

Why? !

※※※

While Jimenez was constantly hypnotizing himself and doing some psychological self-construction, Kabangka also set his sights on the Pirates players celebrating the goal.

He leaned down, supported his knees with both hands, raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, and gasped for air. The sweat beads on his cheeks kept sliding down, and the soaked jersey stuck tightly to his slightly arched back.

He tried his best in this game, scoring twice and providing an assist.

Once again involved in all the team's goals.

But it was meaningless in front of Hu Lai's big four.

When he first transferred to Catalan United, he was very ambitious, thinking that based on his experience in defeating Hulay in the Premier League, he would lead Catalan United to defeat the Kings and Pirates and regain the championship when he came to La Liga.

Melly was beaten badly by Hu Lai last season, but he felt that he could have the upper hand when facing Hu Lai.

But when he came to Catalonia, he discovered that Hulay is much better than the young boy he was in the Premier League.

Hu Lai this season is simply a phenomenon he has never seen in his career... no, in his lifetime.

It was as if what he was facing was not an opponent, but...the Demon King!

He has a little bit... just a little bit of regret, regretting that he came to Catalonia from Manchester United. Otherwise, he should be able to lead Manchester United to win the Premier League championship this season and continue to dominate the Premier League.

However, this thought fleetingly passed through his mind and was thrown out of his mind.

Sometimes, you still need to step out of your comfort zone and face the storms in life.

You can't kill me, Hu...

I will appear in front of you with a stronger attitude next season!
