Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 2034 Not only...even...

After Hulay's goal, Vesuvius' home stadium, the Southern Stadium, fell into silence and relative calm for about a second.

Then huge boos came.

Vesuvius fans believed that Hulay was offside and the referee should not have ruled the goal valid.

At the very least, you should communicate with the video referee team before this, watch the video replay, and then decide whether the ball is valid.

But as soon as the football flew into the net, the referee turned around firmly and pointed his finger at the center circle - this was a valid gesture for scoring a goal.

Vesuvius fans thought that the referee was deliberately favoring the away team: You should confirm it!

But this is 2034. With the development of football, some penalties are no longer judged with such primitive technologies and methods.

For example, "offside", which was the most controversial issue in the past, is now easy to get a relatively accurate and non-controversial result through technical means.

Just like this ball.

When Hulay and his teammates celebrated the goal, the TV broadcast and the large screen on the scene simultaneously issued a technical judgment on whether the ball was offside.

Through the communication between multiple high-definition cameras, the built-in chip of the football and the signal receivers at various locations on the stadium, the computer's artificial intelligence can quickly complete the judgment of whether it is offside, and can also quickly complete the real-time dynamic animation of the stadium. Build, and the generated animation will appear in the broadcast signal for the first time.

At the moment when Vukovich passed the ball, the body projections of Hulay and Vesuvius's young center back Giuseppe Giordano were completely on the same line.

Then the animation was enlarged ten times. Only then did everyone see clearly that Hu Lai's body projection was actually a little behind Giordano's body projection, but only a little.

In fact, there is no problem in overlapping.

Anyone who knows a little bit about the offside rules can see this scene and know that Hu Lai is not offside.

Not only is it not offside, it also shows that Hu Lai has an excellent grasp of running positions.

It's like using a ruler to block movement.

"It's not offside! It's really not offside! There's nothing wrong with this ball!"

This offside judgment technology has been used in the competition systems of UEFA and FIFA for almost four years. The technology is mature and accepted by players and fans.

So when faced with the penalty result given by artificial intelligence, even Vesuvius fans were speechless.

Giordano, who was still a little unconvinced, looked up at the animation results on the big screen.

He held his head in his hands, pulling his hair painfully.

In fact, he should have kept pace with Wang Guangwei. When Wang Guangwei suddenly rushed for the ball, he followed the forward pressure.

In this way, Hu Lai must be in an offside position.

But he was so preoccupied with paying attention to Hu Lai that he neglected to keep pace with his partner.

Of course, this is also because he is still young and slightly lacking in experience.

Wang Guangwei saw Giordano sinking into self-blame and did not blame him.

He just sighed.

This is why Hu Lai is so difficult to guard against...

No one makes mistakes.

When Hulay scored, the Madrid Pirates coach Parotti on the coaching bench was not as excited as the Madrid Pirates players on the bench.

The calm expression on his face makes people look at him and think that he is the head coach of the team that lost the goal...

In the same shot, Tommaso Renzetti, the head coach of Vesuvius next door, grinned, appearing to be smiling at first glance.

But in fact, Renzetti was already heartbroken, and his expression was not a smile, but a "mask of pain."

On the contrary, Parotti's calmness was truly peaceful.

He Feng saw this scene and joked: "As expected of Parotti, he is used to seeing all kinds of big scenes. Similar to today's scene, he has seen it many times when he coached the pirates in the past. It's far away If not, let’s talk about the Champions League quarter-finals two weeks ago...haha!"

In fact, over the years, some people have really studied whether Parotti's calmness comes from his strong heart or whether it is an act.

Parotti's calmness has also become a meme on the Internet.

There are not many moments when he can lose his composure.

From conceding the goal in the opening minutes, to falling behind by two goals, to chasing two goals in a row to equalize the score, Parotti maintained a calm expression throughout.

It was as if everything was as expected.

After Hulay equalized the score, the Vesuvius players were a little panicked. After all, they basically couldn't accept the result that their two-goal lead was gone.

Faced with this scene, Parotti still stood on the sidelines with a calm expression and did not make any instructions or adjustments.

Doesn't he know how to take advantage of victory and pursue it?

of course I know.

He did nothing because he knew his players knew what to do.

Because most of the Madrid Pirates players on the field now are "old guys" who have played with him for many years, their tacit understanding with each other is not only reflected on the field.

So everyone used Parotti's "calmness" or "sluggishness" as a hindrance, but they never thought that the reason why Parotti rarely waved his arms on the sidelines and shouted to direct the game may be because he and his players He has a clear understanding of the situation. Many times he must do or say something, and the players on the field will naturally know how to play.

This also increases concealment and can catch the opponent by surprise.

This is actually why Parotti "favors" old players so much.

Because these old guys can indeed allow him to significantly reduce management costs, and he does not need to worry about it.

Just imagine, after leading such a team, how could anyone not rely on these veterans?

The Madrid Pirates, who are full of veterans, performed poorly in marathon events such as the league, and the performance of the old guys was also criticized a lot.

But in a competition like the Champions League, which is similar to a "cup match", the experience and composure of the old guys can actually help them stabilize the situation, and then use their rich experience to seize the opponent's flaws.

After equalizing the score, the Madrid Pirates stepped up their offensive, making it seem like they were the ones playing at home...

The real home team Vesuvius could only shrink its defense and performed in a very embarrassed manner.

"king!"

the Italian commentator exclaimed.

What made him scream was Wang Guangwei. Before Hu Lai's kick, he decisively chose to tackle and shovel the football out of the baseline.

Although the Madrid Pirates were given a corner kick, all the Vesuvius fans and Italian commentators were cheering for him.

Because if he didn't give Madrid Pirates a corner kick, the opponent might have scored.

In his own penalty area, he makes a decisive tackle, but his opponent is Hu Lai, who is still "falling down". How much courage and courage does this require?

Just as Wang Guangwei shoveled the football away, Hu Lai's foot came over and kicked him in the leg.

Then he screamed and fell to the ground.

Although Wang Guangwei was in pain himself, when he turned around and saw Hu Lai shouting on the ground, he was so angry that he ignored his own pain and said "greetings" in his hometown dialect:

"You call me a hammer! I'm the one who gets kicked!"

Hu Lai still held his toes with his hands, grinning and frowning: "You are so stupid that you don't know how to sneer at each other?!"

Wang Guangwei didn't give him a chance to continue the performance. He turned over directly, put his hands on Hu Lai's arms, and pulled him up from the ground: "Hammer! Don't pretend! I don't know what a fool..."

"Pretend to be a shovel (pronounced chuanchuan), it really hurts!"

Hu Lai said as he limped slowly away from Wang Guangwei.

Behind him, Wang Guangwei, who made a successful defense and was praised by everyone, did not look relaxed at all.

The Madrid Pirates' offensive is getting more and more fierce. He was lucky enough to defend Hu Lai this time, but there is no guarantee that he will be able to successfully defend the opponent every time in the following games.

It turns out that even with a two-goal lead, all the players on the team could still maintain a relatively good mentality.

Now tied by Madrid Pirates, most people's mentality is wrong, and mistakes will definitely increase.

In such a situation, it is almost impossible not to keep conceding the ball.

Wang Guangwei can only hope that he and his teammates can work hard to maintain the 2:2 score until the end of the first half.

Then use the halftime break to allow the head coach to make effective responses and adjustments, while also allowing him and his teammates to take a breath and relieve their anxiety and tension.

※※※

Vesuvius took a two-goal lead in the 16th minute of the game. Twelve minutes later, in the 28th minute, Farias helped Madrid Pirates get a goal back.

When Hu Lai helped the team equalize the score, it was the 38th minute of the game, exactly ten minutes apart.

At this time, it was actually not far from the end of the first half.

Vesuvius didn't need to hold out for long before they could go into halftime and get some breathing space.

Without anyone reminding them, Madrid Pirates' players knew what Vesuvius' players wanted to do.

Whatever the enemy wants to do, it must not be allowed to happen.

This is a "truth" in the game.

At the last moment of the first half, the Madrid Pirates stepped up their offensive and once overwhelmed Vesuvius, both in terms of football and players, unable to even make it past halftime.

Vesuvius fans in the stands continued to boo to put pressure on the Madrid Pirates players who took the ball.

So the boos over the Southern Stadium never stopped.

Especially when Farias got the ball, the boos in the stands were particularly loud.

If Farias fails to dribble past a defender or makes a ball-handling error, the boos will quickly turn to laughter.

Just like this time.

He dribbled the ball and tried to cut in from the wing, but because his intention was too obvious, when he was cutting in, he was disrupted by the kick of Montero, the Vesuvian midfielder who came to specifically defend him.

The moment the football was stabbed away by Montero, huge roars of laughter rang out over the Southern Stadium.

The football that was poked fell at the feet of Hu Lai - Hu Lai, who was originally in the penalty area, came out of the penalty area and intercepted the football that Montero poked.

The laughter quickly turned to catcalls.

Hulay, who was booed, passed the football to Joaquin Vela, and then made a diagonal run himself.

At the same time, he also made a gesture to signal Bella to pass the ball again.

Joaquin Vela did not hesitate and sent a diagonal pass directly, looking for Hu Lai.

Hu Lai, who crossed into the penalty area, looked back at the football while running.

Wang Guangwei quickly followed up and got stuck on the inside, denying Hu Lai a chance to kick.

If Hu Lai wants to force a shot, he will block it immediately.

Sure enough, he saw Hu Lai raising his right leg while running, as if he was going to shoot directly with his right foot.

Wang Guangwei didn't dare not be on guard, but he still had a trick up his sleeve.

He uses his body to block the position so that he doesn't have to throw all his weight out when extending his legs, leaving room for adjustment and maneuverability.

Sure enough, Hu Lai's right foot was just a feint and did not actually shoot. When his right foot fell, he dunked the football to the left.

Wang Guangwei immediately stopped and turned around, ready to continue intercepting.

But the football did not roll over, but was knocked back by Hu Lai's left foot!

Then Hu Lai took a lunge to the right!

In this way, the distance between him and Wang Guangwei was instantly opened, and then he raised his right leg again...this time for real!

Shoot!

Bang!

Wang Guangwei turned around in a hurry, and it was too late to block the shot. He just heard a muffled sound in his ears, and the football rushed past him and headed towards the near corner of the goal!

Vesuvius goalkeeper Jakobs Persson was also stunned by Hulay's fake move just now. He did not fully react to Hulay's powerful, heavy and decisive shot.

Although he made a save, he failed to completely block the angle.

When he rushed over, the football had already flown from his hands into the upper corner of the goal!

Both goalkeeper Persson and Wang Guangwei looked at the football spinning in the goal with painful eyes.

Not only did they fail to maintain their two-goal lead in the first half, they even fell behind!
