Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1723 A good or bad news

"Hulai Hulai!"

Hu Lai was suddenly surrounded by Wang Guangwei in the group.

He replied curiously: "What?"

Wang Guangwei: "You owe me a meal!"

Hu Lai first posted a question mark picture of a black man, and then said: "Old Wang, when I send this emoticon, it does not mean that I have a question, but that you have a question. Why do I owe a meal?"

Wang Guangwei didn't say anything, but directly posted a video to the group.

In the video, Insoubre is attacking, and their No. 10 midfielder Rossini takes the ball in the frontcourt and presses Eldrea's defense.

Wang Guangwei pressed out at the top of the penalty area and pulled Insubre forward Andy Hamel out of the penalty area as the defense retreated.

However, the moment Rossini passed the ball, he had already guessed Rossini's intention, tilted his body towards the goal, prepared to give up Hamel, turned around and rushed into the space behind him.

Sure enough, as the football drew an arc and flew backward, Wang Guangwei also completed his turn and rushed over.

Next, Marquez used his chest to stop the football forward and prepared to shoot. Wang Guangwei was already striding toward him.

Too quick to be a centre-back.

Then two people stretched their feet to kick the football at the same time.

In the end, Wang Guangwei poked the ball first and shoveled the football toward the baseline. Marquez collided with him, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.

Hu Lai heard the Italian commentator in the video exclaiming loudly: "King!... This is really unbelievable! I didn't expect him to appear here at all... This turn... This sprint speed! It's amazing!" Before Marquez stopped the ball and shot, he didn't expect that Wang would rush to him like a divine soldier from heaven, right?"

Hu Lai turned off the video and typed: "Old Wang, you just want to show off your defense, right? To be honest, it is really awesome, but what does this have to do with me? Why should I treat you to dinner? ?”

"Haha, you haven't finished watching the video, have you? Keep watching and finish watching the video." Wang Guangwei did not explain.

Hu Lai had no choice but to open the video again. This time he did not listen to how the Italian commentator praised Wang Guangwei again, but directly dragged the progress bar to the back.

The video started with Eldrea's goalkeeper hugging Wang Guangwei with all his strength. When Hu Lai saw this scene, he wanted to turn off the video and complain in the group: "Old Wang, are you officially announcing your coming out in this way? No wonder you I still don’t have a girlfriend yet!”

But he held it back, and then when the Eldrea players finished celebrating, the scene turned and Marquez, who had just shot, was still lying on the ground.

And he was slapping the turf with his hands, seemingly angry.

The voice of the Italian commentator sounded again:

"Marquios seems to be injured...he can't last in the game. This is bad news for Insubre! Because they will face Madrid Pirates in the middle of next week, and at this time the team's main right midfielder is Injured..."

The video ends here.

Hulece replied to the group chat: "Holy shit? Marquios is injured?!"

"So should you treat me to a meal?" Wang Guangwei smiled.

Hu Lai made a righteous expression, and then said: "I want to defeat my opponent in an upright manner. Lao Wang, if you do this, it seems that we are invincible. So why should I treat you to dinner? You are trying to ruin me. Good thing!"

Wang Guangwei sent a voice message: "You are here for me! Oh my god, you are so good when you get an advantage!"

The divers laughed loudly, and Chen Xingyi also teased Wang Guangwei: "Old Wang, it's not the first day you have met Hu Lai, so why are you still thinking of taking advantage of Hu Lai? You are 'stealing food with nonsense'!"

Wang Guangwei: "Little Xingxing, you are right, no wonder it is called a 'Hugou', dogs only protect food!"

There was an air of happiness in the group.

※※※

Hulay even knew about Marquez's injury earlier than the team's head coach Parotti.

Because Wang Guangwei had just finished the game and returned to the home team's locker room, he took out his mobile phone to "report the good news" to Hu Lai.

The official news was released some time after the game ended:

Marquez collided with Wang Guangwei during the game. It is not yet known the specific extent of the injury, but judging from a simple check after the game, he will definitely not be able to make it to the Champions League group stage with Madrid Pirates.

If you're lucky, maybe you can come back after a week's rest.

If you're not lucky, you may have to hang the no-fight card for the next month or two.

This is not good news for Insubre, but it is a good news for Madrid Pirates.

As the "Group of Death" in this group, Madrid Pirates have already defeated the Lyon Lions away from home in the first round of the group match. Now encounter the more powerful Insubre. As a result, the opponent's main players were injured before the game, which greatly damaged their strength.

"...But this is not good news."

After seeing the news, Parotti told everyone in the coaching staff group.

"Insoubre just lost a right midfielder, but if we really thought this was a good thing for us, then we might lose a victory. We must emphasize this to all players before the start of training tomorrow. Don't leave Marl Quios' injury is taken too seriously. How we prepared for the war before will be how we prepare for the war after. We have heard this news before, so don't take it too seriously."

Enzo Nacher, the team's second assistant coach, said: "I will pay attention to the status of the players."

First assistant coach Jesus Valentin said: "Actually, I think the team should be fine internally. After all, we just lost to Real Catajon. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for players to be proud and underestimate the enemy. of."

Losing the league match against Real Catajon caused Madrid Pirates' ranking in the league to drop from second place to fourth place, although the points difference with the top three was very close - just one point.

But it still attracted criticism from the media after the game.

After all, in the same round of the league, the Madrid Kings also capsized in the gutter - they were tied 0:0 by Atletico Malaga at home.

In this round of the league, it was not only Hulay who failed to score, but also Melli. It's just that everyone cares about Hu Lai not scoring, which led to the end of the consecutive scoring record. No one cares that Melli didn't score either. Besides, isn't it normal that Melli didn't score? Is there anything worth paying attention to?

If the Madrid Pirates can defeat Real Catajon in an away game, wouldn't they be able to take this opportunity to surpass the Kings and sit first in the league?

As a result, the Madrid Pirates slipped up and gave up such a good opportunity.

The Kings of Madrid are still first in the league, but they have been caught up by Real Catajon, who defeated Madrid Pirates.

The two teams are tied with 16 points, and the Madrid Kings are currently at the top of the list due to their goal difference.

Of course, this problem may be big or small.

Even if the Madrid Pirates don't take this opportunity to surpass their rivals in the same city, they still have the opportunity to "make up for it."

After the match against Insubre, the Madrid Pirates will welcome the Madrid Kings at home.

The first "Madrid Derby" of the season will be staged in the seventh round of the league.

It is precisely because of this local derby that Parotti's coaching staff must also take this game into consideration when considering tactical use and personnel matching.

Otherwise, the team will try their best in the Champions League match in midweek, and what will they do when they wait until the weekend derby?

Of course, the Kings of Madrid are facing the same problem - they also have a Champions League match this week, and their opponent is the seeded team in the group, last season's Ligue 1 champion Paris Eger.

The Kings of Madrid still have to spend a lot of energy in this game, which will also affect the weekend's city derby.

Moreover, the Kings of Madrid's Champions League match is an away game. They have to fly to Paris, France, and then fly back to Madrid from Paris to play the same-city derby.

The two games of Madrid Pirates are all at home, so they can completely "wait for work".

"Hu will definitely start in the Champions League in mid-week, but I suggest that we can finally choose 442 in mid-week and let Hu and Di Kunzo partner. Facing Insubre, 442 is more secure." Second assistant coach Enzo Naher suggested. "And Di Kunzo is an Italian player. He will be more comfortable playing against Italian teams..."

"We need to strengthen the interception and defense in the midfield. Rossini of Insoubre still has two brushes... If Dikunzo is allowed to start, there will be one less person in the midfield. Who will be taken down?"

"If we think about balance, we can actually have Kamara and Hu partner up front, and let Toni, Ramirez, Vela and Vukovic line up in the midfield. Or let Vukovic and Vela switch positions. , let Bella go to the wing. Bella can play multiple positions and is very adaptable..."

"I think we should still use 433, let Ramirez and Vela partner in the midfield, and Vukovic is slightly forward..."

…

The coaches held an impromptu tactical meeting in the group and had a heated discussion.

442 or 433 are the two choices faced by Madrid Pirates since the new season. Different formations represent different staffing and tactical choices. In 442, Hulay and Di Kunzo will start together, taking advantage of Dikunzo's dribbling advantage and letting him play the role of Maxi Carey before, feeding Hulay the ball.

But Di Kunzo's shortcoming is that he sticks to the ball a little. Although he will still pass the ball to Hulay in the end, he may lose the best passing opportunity because of sticking to the ball.

When it comes to playing ball for Hu Lai, he is really not as good as Maxi Carey.

However, if 442 is used, Vukovic can organize and dispatch from the midfielder position, and at the same time allow Dikunzo to retreat to support and connect the midfield and frontcourt.

433 is the one used in the second round of the Champions League semi-finals last season against Blue and White Munich. Joaquin Vela and Juan Ramirez were paired as midfielders, Vukovich's position was conditioned, and the organization was organized from behind. Become a centered organization. Hu Lai acted as an arrow on the front line, with Kamara and Tonini on the left and right.

It is said to be 433, but in fact it is more like 4231, because Toni and Kamara are slightly further forward than Vukovich. They are more like forming a line with Vukovich, not on the front line. Tied with Hu Lai.

At the beginning of the new season, the Madrid Pirates have been switching back and forth between these two formations. On the one hand, it is because they have left Maxi Carey and need to find alternatives. This is helpless. On the other hand, Parotti actively requested to practice one more tactic so that he would not be caught off guard when he needed to use it.

He didn't think which option was better, but considered which option was more suitable for the current situation.

In the end, head coach Parotti made the decision: "Let's stick with the 433 set."

The head coach said this, and other people have no opinions. They can only provide reference suggestions and cannot make decisions for the head coach.

During training the next day, Parotti seriously warned the players not to take Marquios' injury too seriously and to maintain a normal attitude in training and preparing for the game.

Then a new day of training officially begins.

For the Madrid Pirates, everything is ready now, just waiting for the Italian team to come.
