Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1726: It’s easy to lift a weight

Hu Lai only tried it once. First of all, the game is really not a place where he frequently tries new things. Secondly, he only needs to try it once to know the result. There is no need to try a few more times.

He is not the kind of person who does not believe in evil and insists on doing it again and again.

Now the score between the two sides is still 0:0, and he is not qualified to squander the opportunity.

You still have to help the team score goals and take the lead.

Just how to break through the chain defense of Mortensen and Mattioli who have such a tacit understanding?

Fans may only be able to see Mortensen and Mattioli team up to defend Hulay, but Hulay, as a witness, feels more.

Every time he got the ball near the penalty area, it looked like Mortensen was coming, but in fact the two men were still engaging in physical confrontation.

In a place that could not be captured by the television cameras, Hulay was bearing the impact of Mortensen.

Mortensen, who is 1.9 meters tall, is a very strong central defender. Even if he does not deliberately collide with Hu Lai, he can still make Hu Lai uncomfortable just by relying on his own weight advantage. Not to mention that he did make full use of his strength advantage and used reasonable collisions to squeeze Hu Lai's ball-taking space.

Regardless of whether Hu Lai controlled the ball or not, the physical contest between the two sides never stopped.

Under his interference, Hu Lai needs to expend a lot of energy just to move and grab the spot, let alone control the ball when he is defending closely.

Coupled with the tacit cooperation with Mortensen next to him, Mattioli is eyeing Hu Lai.

As long as Hulay makes a slight mistake or flaw in controlling the ball, Mattioli will immediately pounce to steal the ball.

This has happened several times in the game. Hulay tried his best to resist Mortensen and got a shooting opportunity. However, he was either destroyed by Mattioli or missed the shot due to Mattioli's interference. The deflection is too positive...

So it is not easy to get rid of these two central defenders who work well together to score.

Hulay also faced the Italian team last season, and he still paid more attention to defending the Turin Bulls.

However, at that time, the two center backs of the Turin Bulls, Petro Nazari and Paul Arce, were no longer in their peak form - mainly Paraguay's legendary center back Paul Arce, who was already three years old at the time. At the age of sixteen, his physical condition is far worse than before.

Moreover, neither Arce nor Nazari is a powerful central defender like Mortensen. Hulay can withstand physical confrontation.

Although Mortensen is not agile and fast, his shortcomings are made up for by Mattioli.

So he can concentrate on fighting Hu Lai physically.

This made Hu Lai very uncomfortable.

But that's not the most uncomfortable thing. The most uncomfortable thing is that the two first-class central defenders "serve" him alone, overcoming Mortensen, and then Mattioli came up again.

Hu Lai felt that it would be unwise to let himself go one-on-one.

The other party may want this for themselves.

But if you want to score, you can't go one-on-one.

Comparatively speaking, Mortensen is relatively easy to deal with, because although he has a strength advantage, he is not flexible enough.

If you want to score, you have to duel with Mortensen, and Mattioli cannot be given the opportunity to intervene in the duel between the two of them.

※※※

Hulay is trying to find a way to break through the blockade of Mortensen Mattioli.

Rossini is also looking for ways to create scoring opportunities to help Insubre take the lead.

Playing away against Madrid Pirates, head coach Piandi gave the result that he would be satisfied as long as he could hold on to a draw.

Rossini's understanding of "defending a draw" is definitely not really about defending to the death, but about creating a one-goal lead.

Only if we are ahead can we keep the tie.

Otherwise it would not be good for the Madrid Pirates to keep attacking like this.

It's not that he doesn't trust his fellow defenders, but he knows that the defense itself is a passive side, and the initiative lies in the opponent's hands, and he cannot pin his hopes on the opponent's offensive disadvantage.

Helping the team score a goal is his contribution as an offensive player to the team's defense.

As a forward, Rossini actually has the ability to break through with the ball. So he planned to catch the Madrid Pirates off guard...

They thought they would be afraid of Ramirez, a world-class defensive midfielder, so they would only dare to stay behind, and then they would suddenly attack!

He quickly found an opportunity to ask his teammates for the ball.

Then drive the ball forward.

But he soon became entangled with Vukovich.

This former attacking midfielder has now become a versatile midfielder who can attack and defend.

Rossini was stopped by Vukovich before he met Ramirez.

He had to slow down to deal with Vukovic first.

But just when he was concentrating on dealing with Vukovich, a man suddenly rushed up from beside him. After bumping into him, he stretched out his foot and stabbed the football away!

Rossini staggered and almost lost his balance. He looked back and saw Madrid Pirates' No. 6 Joaquin Vela catching up with the football and passing the ball forward!

A huge cheer erupted from the stands at Pirates Park.

"Bella steals the ball! Beautiful! Madrid Pirates' counterattack!"

Joaquin Vela passed the ball to Camara, who did not immediately take the ball down after receiving the ball, but first observed the situation in front.

He found that perhaps because Soubre was still attacking just now and now switched from offense to defense, not everyone was in position.

The front door is relatively empty.

But if he dribbles the ball again, the opponent will come back - the Italian team's defensive speed is quite fast.

So Kamara decided to take a little risk and pass the football directly!

The reason why it is said to be risky is because it is very likely that the Madrid Pirates' attack will not be successful because of his kick. After all, this method cannot ensure the accuracy of the pass, and naturally it cannot guarantee the success rate of the attack.

It is very likely that the ball was finally grabbed in the backcourt, and a good counterattack opportunity ended with his risky long diagonal pass.

But when attacking, you should take risks.

"Kamara... made a direct pass at a 45-degree angle!"

The commentators didn't expect Kamara to pass the ball directly, and Insubre's defenders even less expected it. Before he passed the ball, Insubre's defenders were still waiting in front of him to prevent him from dribbling the ball. Woolen cloth.

The football drew an arc in the air, flew high past Insubre's backcourt, and headed straight for their goal.

"There's just a Hu Lai in the middle!" He Feng was also surprised, thinking that Kamara passed the ball too hastily.

As long as Hu Lai cannot form a shot, the attack will be considered a failure.

Even if Hu Lai can control the first landing point, Hu Lai will be trapped due to lack of support and has a great chance of losing the ball. After all, holding the ball for a long time is not what Hu Lai is good at.

In his opinion, Kamara should dribble the ball and break through, which can further disrupt Insoubre's defense and wait for other Madrid Pirates players to come up and respond.

※※※

The football flew in the air towards Insoubre's penalty area.

Insoubre's two central defenders were both in the penalty area, but Mattioli did not go up to attack Hulay, but stood in his position nearby.

Mortensen and Hu Lai ran towards the landing point of the football.

The football flew over from the right in front of them. As they ran, they looked up at the ball to confirm where it landed.

Then Mortensen suddenly discovered that Hu Lai was approaching him. He reflexively thought that Hu Lai was coming to compete with him for the landing point, so he immediately tensed up his body and pushed Hu Lai to the outside, or said " Collide".

After his "bump", Hu Lai was bounced away by him like a ball.

But just after Hulay was bounced away, Mortensen was surprised to find that the football actually fell to the place where Hulay bounced!

He suddenly realized that perhaps Hu Lai was not coming to seize the landing spot when he approached him, but was deceiving him to stay where he was and not go up to compete with Hu Lai for the landing spot!

Mortensen tried to pounce on Hu Lai again, but it was already too late.

As for Mattioli, the distance is further away, and it is even less likely to come up to stop Hu Lai - he originally wanted to wait for an opportunity to come up to make up for the defense.

Who would have thought that Mortensen would push Hu Lai further and further away from them!

"Hu Lai!! Opportunity!"

He Feng, who was still sighing before, howled loudly.

Many Chinese fans in front of the TV also cheered up and stared at the screen.

Hu Lai, who was "bumped" towards the landing point of the football, raised his right leg while running, as if he was going to volley directly!

Insubre's goalkeeper Omar Tory lowered his center of gravity and was ready to go out and save the volley at any time.

Then he saw Hu Lai's right foot swinging towards the football, but the posture of the ankle seemed a little wrong...

Most people will straighten their insteps when they want to volley, so that the football they pull out will be powerful.

But Hu Lai's ankles were moved away, more like... an action to push.

But his legs are swinging from bottom to top. How can he push and shoot?

Push it to heaven?

Before Tori could figure this out, Hulay's feet had already touched the football.

It's not a volley, nor a push, but... push the football up!

Tori was ready to bounce the football to both sides of his body, but he didn't expect the football to fly upward!

He was like a deflated rubber ball, all the strength he had accumulated drained away, completely useless.

The body swayed for a moment, but finally stayed in place, and then looked up dumbfounded as the football flew up, higher than the height of the crossbar.

Then fall from that height, towards the far corner behind him...

And he could do nothing but stand there and turn around to watch.

Not only him, but Mortensen, Mattioli, and all three Insoubre players in the penalty area could only stand on the ground at this moment, watching the football fall from the sky and fall into their goal...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"

Spanish commentator Sanchez combined exclamations and cheers, then he changed his breath and began the traditional performance of Spanish commentators, football commentary "Guankou":

"Hu - Lai!! Hu Lai! Hu Lai! Hu Lai!! Wonderful goal! Like a dream! The football is as light as a feather, Tori was caught off guard! Whether it was Mortensen or Mattioli, facing such a beautiful attack, is powerless! They can only watch! Watch like fans! Where they are is a seat! The best viewing point!"

In comparison, He Feng's wording is much simpler and clearer:

"Wow! The goal is scored! Hu Lai! This goal is so beautiful! Audience friends, what is a 'light weight' goal? This is it! It is smart, elegant, and deadly!"
