Fox in the Penalty Area

The scene of Hobson fouling Hou Lai just now was replayed over and over again in the TV broadcast.

Said it was to let everyone see clearly how Hobson fouled.

But in fact, it's more like to let everyone appreciate again and again how Hu Lai just stopped and threw away the two Manchester Athletic central defenders in one breath!

"Sister Goose!!" Matthew Cox exclaimed, "This eclipse is so beautiful! Before Hu decided to eclipse, there was no sign at all! Both Nelson and Hobson thought Hu was I want to catch the ball with my back... I have to say that Hu's grasp of stopping the ball is really top-notch! And not only does he stop the ball steadily, he also thinks about the next move when he stops the ball, connecting them together, That's why he was able to stop and drive, and stuck Hobson behind him... If Hobson pounces at this time, there is no other way to stop Hu except for fouling!"

He Feng and Yan Kang were also full of praise for Hu Lai's stop action: "Hobson can only foul, because Hu Lai has already faced goalkeeper Correa in the penalty area! So Hobson has no choice. , he can only take a gamble—a bet on Leeds City’s penalty kick. In his opinion, the probability of Leeds City’s penalty kick may be higher than the probability of Hu Lai wasting this single-handedly... In the final analysis, Hu Lai Lai was so unexpected and perfect! A perfect stop is not just to stop the football at your feet, but also to be able to link up the next move perfectly! Well done, Hu Lai!"

"I think technically speaking, Hu Lai's stop of the ball is beautiful, but what is even more beautiful is Hu Lai's thinking-obviously when he was about to catch the ball, he had already thought about what to do next, How to do it. The brain always thinks more than the opponent, thinks a few more steps, and eventually he can be faster than the opponent... Before playing in the Super League, he rarely had such a performance. After going to the Premier League, he His thinking is getting closer and closer to that of European football... This is the biggest improvement for him to play abroad!"

"You are right, Yan Kang. The biggest difference between European football and our Chinese football lies in the rhythm. Their rhythm is very fast, and they will not give players a chance to stop the ball and then think about what to do slowly. ...And they have to think about what to do next before they catch the ball, which is the minimum standard. And those good players, world-class players, they can even think about how to do the next four or five steps... ..."

The Leeds City fans in the stands were cheering heartily, while the Leeds City players on the pitch pounced on Hou Lai, pulled him up and then embraced him, patting his back and shoulders hard to celebrate.

In their arms, Hu Lai smiled happily.

The foul Sam Hobson had nothing to say in the face of the referee's penalty, and he didn't even go up to defend himself. Because he knew that it was an obvious foul, the plea was meaningless, and he might get a yellow card for it—and he had already received a yellow card for this foul, if there was another one,

Then he will go down...

He just looked at Hu Lai surrounded by his teammates with his hands on his hips.

I really didn't expect Hu Lai to handle the ball like that.

Even if he was an opponent, he had to say "beautiful" in his heart.

Since the fouled Hobson had no objections, the other Manchester Athletic players naturally had very little objection. They were more frustrated than angry about the penalty kick.

So they can accept this result relatively calmly.

But the members of the Stan Park Rangers coaching staff in front of the TV are not calm.

"Fuck! What is Hobson doing? When Hu stopped the ball, he was three meters away! Why didn't he go up immediately?!"

"I would say that Nelson's problem is bigger. When Hu stopped the ball and turned around, he was like a tin man, motionless... If he can foul in time, then Leeds City will get a free kick at most, and Not a penalty!"

Brooks didn't make any comments, just sighed softly under the cover of the yelling of the coaches in the room.

Because both sides had no objection to the penalty, the referee quickly cleared the penalty area.

All irrelevant personnel left the restricted area.

But Hu Lai was stopped.

Captain Lorenzo held the football in his hand and shouted to Hu Lai who turned around and left the penalty area: "Huh! You come!"

Hu Lai was a little surprised.

The team's number one penalty shooter is the captain, and the head coach has never said that he will be the penalty shooter.

Seeing that Hu Lai was in a daze, Lorenzo simply turned around and walked up, stuffing the football into Hu Lai's hands: "You kick this penalty kick."

"But the captain..."

"You need this ball, and we also need this ball." After Lorenzo made a pun, he did not allow Hu Lai to refuse, so he exited the penalty area and pushed Hu Lai to the penalty spot.

Hu Lai was not hypocritical when he saw this.

He is competing with Stones for the league golden boot and does need more goals. Before this game, he scored 24 goals in the league and Stones scored 21 goals. The difference between the two sides was only three goals.

In this game, Stones, as the main striker of Athletic Manchester, worked very hard, but due to the situation of the field and the performance of the whole team, he has not scored a goal so far.

Leeds City won a penalty, usually let Lorenzo take the kick, and now the captain gave it to him, what does this mean, Hu Lai also knows in his heart.

Hu Lai didn't refuse the captain's kindness just because he thought kicking a penalty kick had no technical content. For him, no matter if it is a penalty kick, free kick or other goals, as long as it is finally counted in his name, he will always come.

"Oh! Lorenzo gave Hu Lai the chance to take the penalty kick!" He Feng said excitedly after seeing this scene.

He also knew that Stones was chasing Hu Lai very closely now.

It would be nice to have one more ball at this time.

Marvin Stones stood outside the penalty area, his eyes flickered when he saw this scene, and he knew that Leeds City was doing its best to help Hou Lai win the Golden Boot. He also wants to defend the Golden Boot, but unfortunately he has not scored in this game so far...

He also couldn't prevent Hou Lai from taking a penalty, and could only hope that his teammate Ze Correa could save the penalty.

Off the court, Tony Clark turned his head and saw Randyll looking at him, and quickly said: "It's not me, I didn't talk to Lorenzo about the penalty candidate."

"Did Lorenzo notice something?"

"I've never talked about who will take the penalty in other occasions ... I think he may just want Hudo to score."

Randyll accepted Clark's explanation and sighed slightly: "Lorenzo is really a good man, but unfortunately his state has declined this season...We should introduce a new center to replace him in the summer, Tony."

"I know." Clark nodded. "We'll have a good talk with Lorenzo at the end of the season. But for now, let's not think about that."

Except for the goalkeepers Correa and Hou Lai, as well as the referee, everyone else exited the penalty area.

It's still raining, and it hasn't stopped at all.

The most ardent Leeds fans in the Flanders North Stand behind the Athletic Manchester goal were drenched in the rain, but they didn't care. Some people simply took off their shirts and sang and danced in the stands shirtless to cheer for the team.

But at this moment, they all fell silent.

Watch nervously in the penalty area below the stands in the pouring rain.

Hu Lai had already set up the football, stepped back, turned to look at the referee, and waited for the referee to give him a signal.

The scene was quiet, only the sound of heavy rain falling.

"In the 66th minute of the game, Leeds City won a penalty, and Hu Lai took the penalty..." Cox couldn't help lowering his voice.

In the quiet stadium, the whistle was particularly crisp and clear.

After hearing the whistle, Hu Lai didn't shake any forward, and went straight to run!

Correa opened his arms and slightly lowered his center of gravity, making his knees like compressed springs, storing energy and ready to be ejected at any time.

He is ready for everything.

The eyes are fixed on the football, and the feet behind the football.

He tried to guess the next flight direction of the football from the subtle changes in Hu Lai's running and footsteps...

But the rain was heavy, which affected his vision, and he couldn't see clearly.

At this moment, Hu Lai had already run behind the football and kicked him!

Without any feints or psychological warfare, he just shot the football towards the goal with such a clean kick!

With the exploding rain and fog, the football rushed out of the chaos and appeared suddenly!

Correa didn't see any clues, he could only gamble, choose one side, and pounce without hesitation!

He jumped to his right!

But the football flew to his left!

Misdirection!

The football hit the net, shattering all the water droplets hanging on the net rope, splashing and flying!

"Hu Lai - the goal is scored!!! Beautiful! The goal is scored! The twenty-fifth goal in the league!! He helped Leeds City lead Manchester Athletic 1-0 at home! In the competition for the league title, they temporarily took the lead !"

The Flanders Stadium, which was unusually quiet just now, has resumed its hustle and bustle, and all the rainwater that fell on this stadium seems to be shaken away.

This huge sound wave echoed in the hotel room through the TV.

The Stan Park Rangers coaching staff stared at the screen in silence.
