Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1870 Let’s see whose sword is faster

"Ruerrhein dared to fight us at our home court and press high..."

exclaimed Madrid Pirates assistant coach Jesus Valentin.

Ruhrlein kicked off the first half of the game. They did not end their round hastily, but took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to plan a quite threatening attack.

It can be seen that Ruerrhein head coach Kuhn has specially designed this kind of kick-off attack.

However, although the offense was threatening, it did not really break through the Madrid Pirates' goal.

So next everyone thought that Ruhrlein should shrink its defense, place a bus in front of the goal, and prepare for the indiscriminate bombardment of the Madrid Pirates.

Unexpectedly, when Hywell was about to take the goal kick, the Ruhrlein players did not retreat to their own half. Instead, most of them were in the frontcourt, maintaining one-on-one marking.

Later, when Hewel kicked the football forward, the Ruhrlein players retreated one after another.

But as long as the Madrid Pirates pass the football back to their own backcourt, the Ruhrlein players will immediately step out, basically achieving one-on-one marking of the Madrid Pirates players in the frontcourt.

It is difficult for the Madrid Pirates to pass the ball continuously in the backfield, so they can only pass forward with big feet.

However, the accuracy of big-footed long passes is not as good as short passes, which will greatly reduce the success rate of Madrid Pirates' offense.

This is a very typical high press.

"Perhaps because they know that their defense will definitely not be able to prevent us from scoring..." second assistant coach Enzo Nacher said.

"It doesn't matter." Head coach Parotti covered his mouth with his hands and said to the two assistant coaches beside him. "No matter what tactics they use, it doesn't affect our style of play. They fight theirs, and we fight ours. They even use high positions to press, which saves us trouble. We don't have to worry about how to break their big formation... "

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up from his seat.

Because he saw Vukovich put the football straight into the penalty area.

Hu Lai made a diagonal run and shot directly without stopping the ball!

The ball was blocked by Ruerrhein goalkeeper Simon Koenigs!

Although he did not score a goal, Parotti applauded his team's attack from the sidelines, and finally gave Hulay a thumbs up.

"I want to say... in the face of their onslaught, is it really possible for us to score first than them?" Assistant coach Moritz Riden asked, looking at the Madrid Pirates players who were attacking his team on the field.

It was almost ten minutes since the game started. Although Ruhrlein adopted a high-position press, the Madrid Pirates still had the upper hand.

"I don't know if we can score first, Moritz." Kuhn looked at the game going on on the field and shook his head.

"But I know that this is our only option. The whole world knows that the Madrid Pirates have only one option, and that is to return to home and attack wildly. But in fact, we also have only one option, Moritz. To defend blindly is to block. You can't stop them. In other words, you can't stop Hu. He must be in good condition today..."

Speaking of which, he set his sights on Ruhrlein's main center Janus Edman.

"Of course, our Edman is also in good condition. Let's see who has the faster knife..."

"The game has started for almost ten minutes, and the ferocious offensive of the Madrid Pirates has continued for almost ten minutes. Ruhrlein did not set up a bus in front of the goal to defend, but unexpectedly chose to press high. During this time, they also I got two offensive opportunities, but the quality was not very high..."

The commentator is introducing the situation on the field.

While speaking, the Madrid Pirates launched another attack.

Ruhrlein still pressed high in the midfield, but due to Joaquin Vela's clever reverse movement in the midfield, John Sett, who was following up, was opened up, allowing Vukovic to pass the football to Hu Lai retreated to respond.

Parotti did not predict that Ruhrlein would use a high press before the game, but he quickly made his own on-the-spot adjustments after the game started.

He asked the two forwards, Hulay and Dikunzo, to take turns to retreat and participate in the passing of the midfield and backfield.

Isn’t Ruerlein marking one on one?

As long as one of Hulay and Di Kunzo withdraws, this balance can be broken.

DiQuinzo can carry and pass.

Although Hulay can't dribble the ball, he has trained with the Madrid Pirates for three seasons and has long been integrated into the Pirates' passing and control system.

Let him participate in the team's passing, and he can definitely become a qualified part, and the football will not become stagnant under his feet.

Hu Lai, who retreated to receive the ball, was unmarked. He could even turn around calmly after receiving the ball and dribble forward.

Of course, when Ruerlein's midfielder Herbert Petrov came towards him, he did not stick to the ball, but immediately gave the ball to Kamara on the wing.

Then he accelerated forward on his own.

After Kamara received the ball from Hulay on the wing, he first dribbled the ball forward.

Ruerrhein's left-back Stefan Cobb moved up to pursue him.

When approaching the thirty-meter area, Hu Lai stabbed his right ribs diagonally.

And Kamara suddenly cut the football into the middle.

Stefan Cobb was busy competing with Kamara for speed, but he didn't expect that the opponent would hit the ball with his heel and cut inside during the high-speed sprint!

He braked reflexively, stretched out his hand to pull the ball, and stretched his foot to poke the ball.

But all came to nothing.

There is only a ball of air in his hand.

He didn't kick the ball at his feet, but tripped Kamara.

Kamara fell to the ground and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

"This is the first free kick of the game for Madrid Pirates!"

Cobb, who committed the foul, was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision. He believed that he did not commit a foul and that it was Kamara who dived.

After all, everyone knows that Kamala loves to flop.

So after he got up, he didn't go back. Instead, he ran forward to discuss the matter with the referee.

He made a diving motion with his hands, indicating to the referee that Kamara was probably diving.

As he did so, Kamala was picking herself up from the ground.

At the same time, he raised his head and saw Hu Lai looking at him in front.

There was no communication between the two, Hu Lai did not make any gestures to him, he just stared. Kamala immediately realized what Hu Lai was going to do.

This is the master-student relationship that the two developed from Leeds City to Madrid Pirates... No, it's a tacit understanding!

So he quickly picked up the football next to him and put it on the ground casually, as if he really just wanted to put the football there.

But when he let go of his hand, he poked the football out with his toe!

Others are still bending over!

The direction in which the football rolled was exactly Hu Lai who had just stabbed his ribs diagonally!

At this moment, Cobb is still discussing with the referee whether Kamara just flopped...

The defensive area where he was was completely empty!

Hu Lai is in the space in his ribs!

"... Cobb made a gesture, he thought Kamara was... a quick free kick! A chance for the Pirates!"

As the on-site commentators suddenly raised their voices and roared, the broadcast that was replaying the scene where Kamala fell suddenly cut back to the live scene.

The audience in front of the TV saw Hu Lai receiving the ball in the corner of the penalty area!

And there is not a single player from Ruhr Rhein around him!

"Hu!!"

"Hulai!!"

the commentators shouted excitedly.

Not only were they excited, but the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands were also excited.

Cheers suddenly sounded, and then quickly climbed to the top!

Li Qingqing, who was in the box, also suddenly stood up from his seat and leaned over to look into the field.

Xie Lan even held his breath in front of the TV, fearing that even taking a breath would affect his son...

With everyone watching, Hulay half-turned, took the ball from Kamara, took a step forward, then raised his right leg... and shot!

Ruerrhein's goalkeeper Simon Koenigs quickly moved forward to block the near corner when the football was passed to Hulay.

At the same time, lower your center of gravity and be ready to pounce at any time.

When Hulay turned around, he also adjusted the football to his right foot and shot with his foot. He pounced.

The football was shot into the far corner!

He also rushed to the far corner!

But he didn't touch the ball!

Although Koenigs didn't touch the ball, he didn't panic in his heart, because with his coverage area, if he didn't touch the ball, it meant that the ball would not hit the goal frame!

The other person is still in the air, but his eyes have turned back following the football.

Then he saw the football turning in the air!

Hu Lai used the outside instep of his right foot to draw the football in an arc!

The football just went around Koenigs' fingers, then hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the net!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Hu!!! In the 12th minute, he pulled a goal back for Madrid Pirates! The total score is 1:2! The Pirates are only one goal behind! Well done!"

Sanchez, who was commentating on the game, soon lost track of what he was saying.

Even though he was wearing noise-canceling headphones, he couldn't stop the roar coming from the stands at Pirates Park!

The opening goal every Madrid Pirates fan hoped for... came!
