Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1713 A hundred secrets will eventually lead to a loose end

"Kabonka!! Oh!! Kabangka! Scored twice! This is his second goal in this game! Beautiful!!"

Amid Sanchez's cheers, the Pirates Park stadium suddenly became much quieter.

But the silence was soon broken by a loud noise.

Among the noise were the cheers of Catalan United fans, as well as the boos and curses of Madrid Pirates fans.

"Thirteenth minute after Hulay scored, Catalan United equalized the score again! Catalan United was very tenacious today! Kabangca is in really good shape too!"

"This summer we changed the head coach, introduced new players, and at the same time truly established Kabangka's tactical core position. Catalan United is indeed a completely different team from last season!"

Even Chinese commentator He Feng gave very high praise to Catalan United and Kabangka.

Amid the huge noise, Kabangka, who scored the goal, ran towards Mario Salado, who assisted him.

While hugging him, he said loudly in his ear: "Nice pass, Mario! Just like this! You have speed! As long as there is space, just push forward! Behind you are Rosas and Campusa. No, they always have a way of passing the football to your feet!"

Salado wanted to say: Can you not teach me how to play football when celebrating a goal?

But he still swallowed the words.

Just don't ruin everyone's good mood...

Kabangka's goal helped Catalonia equalize the score.

There were nearly twenty minutes left in the game, during which time anything could happen.

Catalonia can score a goal and come back to win.

Madrid Pirates can naturally take the lead for the third time at home.

With little time left in the game, the competition between the two sides will surely become fierce.

Madrid Pirates are playing at home, and of course they have to defend their home glory.

For Catalonia, especially for the new head coach Reilly Vicente, this game must be won. Because defeating Madrid Pirates, especially defeating the defending champion away from home, is very important in Reilly Vicente's plan.

If the team can defeat the Madrid Pirates, it will enable the team to get rid of the decline faced by the Madrid Pirates in the past two seasons.

He needed this positive sign.

So after equalizing the score, Vicente was not satisfied with drawing the defending champion away from home, but directed the team to continue attacking.

Try to score more goals.

For the Madrid Pirates, Parotti also did not let the team shrink in the face of Catalonia's offensive. He chose to fight back.

The two teams launched a fierce attack and defense in the last twenty minutes of the game.

The two sides were going back and forth, and the fight was lively.

A moment later, Kabangka shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, forcing Hewel to make a wonderful save to keep the goal.

After a while, Hulay faked a shot and passed the ball in the penalty area, and suddenly passed the ball to Camara, but Camara's shot hit the goal post, shocking the Catalan United fans into a cold sweat.

Catalonia launched an attack, Rosas passed the ball to Kabangka, and Kabangka made another pass. Center Pettersson headed the ball over the crossbar.

On the Madrid Pirates side, Tonini and Ion Martinez hit the wall on the left wing to cooperate, penetrated into the penalty area and then made a pass. Catalan United center back Paul Fortune risked a tackle foul and shoveled the football to the other side before Hulay could reach him, almost causing an own goal.

There are many offensive and defensive scenes like this, and the atmosphere at Pirates Park has become extremely heated and cannot cool down at all.

Neither team wants to lose.

The commentators are all saying: "Based on their performance, it seems that a draw is the fairest result... But we know that if it really is a draw, no one can accept it. There will always be a winner." …”

※※※

Yes, there is always a winner.

When the game entered the last ten minutes, the score was still 2:2, and Catalonia United took the lead in making adjustments.

Riley Vicente did not let the team continue to maintain the previous fast-paced offense, but slowed down and recycled appropriately.

It seemed like he was content with a draw.

But in fact, they wanted to take advantage of Madrid Pirates' crazy counterattack in the last ten minutes.

Madrid Pirates certainly cannot accept the result of being tied at home.

After all, La Liga is different from other leagues. When the points are the same, the priority comparison is the mutual victory or defeat relationship between the two teams with the same points.

Madrid Pirates were tied by Catalonia United at home, so they would not have an advantage in terms of victory or defeat.

After all, there is still one round of competition between them, and then it will be Catalonia's home court.

If this game took place in the second half of the league, and the Madrid Pirates had previously defeated Catalonia United on the road, then Parotti would definitely shrink his defense and maintain a draw.

"Catalan Lenovo beat us to counterattack..." Assistant coach Valentin reminded.

Parotti nodded: "That's just right. We can attack boldly with confidence."

He waved his hand, signaling for the team to press forward.

"Follow him! Keep an eye on him!"

Catalan United's main goalkeeper Tone Schulman pointed at Hulay and loudly reminded his teammates.

Although Hu Lai has only scored one goal so far under the joint defense of their back line, no one dares to take it lightly.

Because facts have proven time and time again that as long as you dare to ignore the slightest distraction during the game, Hu Lai may score you to see God.

It is recognized in football that playing against Hu Lai is the most tiring. Because you don't dare to make a mistake for a minute the entire game.

But humans are not machines, so how can they not make mistakes?

It's very tiring to have nerves on edge for the whole game.

After Hulay's crazy goals last season, there was a craze in European football to study Hulay.

Countless experts and celebrities are trying to figure out a question: Why is Hu Lai, who has no outstanding physical condition, is not fast, has poor strength, and is not good at dribbling the ball, able to score so many goals? Why can we score every game?

After studying a large number of Hu Lai's games, experts expressed their opinions and put forward many conclusions of their own.

For example, Hu Lai has a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, superb shooting skills, and smart handling of stopping the ball...

But the person who played against Hu Lai on the field said it best.

After the end of last season, Danny Drew, who had played against Hulay as an opponent and then moved to Madrid Pirates to be Hulay's teammate, returned to his hometown and was interviewed by a Dutch media. He talked about his feelings for Hulay. The view on why Rai was able to score so many goals reveals the essence of the problem:

"Playing against Hu is twice as tiring as playing the whole game. I would rather play one game against top players like Meli and Kabangka than play against Hu Lai.

"The thing is very simple. Melly is the kind of player who can only create a threat when he has the ball at his feet. He always needs to have the ball. As a defender, I just need to defend him when he has the ball.

"But not Hu. He is the kind of player who is very threatening with and without the ball, especially without the ball. So even if he doesn't have the ball, you have to keep an eye on him and not relax at all... Of course he plays like this. I'm very tired. I can't guarantee that I won't make any mistakes during the game, and I can't guarantee that I will be 100% focused on him. Playing one game with him is equivalent to playing two games for me..."

After this interview was released, some fans joked:

"So that's why you moved to Madrid Pirates?"

This is of course a joke, but in a sense, it is actually the "truth".

At least after Drew went to the Pirates, he only had to endure Hulay's torture in training, not in games.

As we all know, training and competition are completely different.

Hu Lai's performance in training is definitely not equal to his performance in the game.

Some players perform very well in training, but when it comes to games, they cannot even perform at two-thirds of their usual training level.

Hu Lai is just the opposite. His performance in games is often better than in training.

Now, although Tone Schulman reminded his teammates to pay attention, and although the Catalan United defenders did focus on Hulay.

However, after eighty minutes of the game, as physical fitness further declines, the players will inevitably lose concentration.

This is an objective law. No matter how much we pay attention to it subjectively, it will not help.

Because players are humans, not machines, they cannot set up a program and then automatically run it according to the program.

Paul Fortune kept turning his head to observe Hu Lai beside him, but he could not always keep his eyes on Hu Lai.

Especially when Kamara dribbles the ball into the penalty area, he will definitely turn his attention to Kamara, who has more ball.

At this time, he will briefly lose control of Hu Lai's movements around him.

And just when he didn't look back for more than two seconds, Hu Lai suddenly accelerated from behind him!

Another central defender, Joel Jimenez, noticed Hulay because Hulay came out of the gap between him and Paul Jones.

But by the time he saw Hu Lai and decided to defend, it was already too late!

Just as Hulay advanced from behind Paul Jones, Kamara, who had just entered the penalty area, sent a cross!

The football flew past Paul Jones so fast that Jones didn't even have time to make a tackle.

When Jones' eyes followed the football and shifted back, he saw Hulay facing goalkeeper Tone Schulman in front of the goal to block him, raising his foot to shoot the incoming football towards the goal!

Schulman almost sat on the ground, spreading his legs and arms to try to expand his defensive area.

Still, he couldn't stop the football.

The ball slipped through the gap between his arm and leg!

Flying into the goal without any suspense!

"Julay - here we go!! Even though we were tightly defended by the Catalan United defenders throughout the game, there was always a gap in the air! The goal that was supposed to come came!"

He Feng, who was far away in the studio behind, raised his arms and cheered.
