Chapter 648 Someone is going to be in trouble
After Hu Lai ran onto the court, countless Chinese fans in front of the TV were in high spirits.
To be honest, the game between Leeds City and Burley was intense, but not exciting. Because most of the time the game was interrupted by physical confrontations between the two sides, there was basically no smooth offense.
Such a game may be exciting for fans of both teams, but for the majority of neutral fans, it is simply ugly.
There were no wonderful dribbles, no beautiful shots, no amazing offensive and defensive duels, and no smooth teamwork... All the elements that a wonderful game should have were missing.
In addition, the weather for today's game was not good. The sky that had been gloomy before the game finally started to rain during the game. After repeated trampling, the football field has almost turned into a rotten vegetable field, making it very difficult to control the ball underfoot and advance the ball on the ground. Every player's jersey is covered with mud.
The embarrassing image of the players and the frequently interrupted game rhythm make the Chinese fans watching the game in front of the TV feel like they are eating chicken ribs, tasteless and a pity to discard - it doesn't look good, but if you don't watch it, And I always think about what if Hu Lai comes on as a substitute, wouldn't I miss it?
After watching the 60-minute game in such a dilemma, now all Chinese fans can finally stop being in a dilemma.
Hulai rush!
※※※
Hu Lai had just been on the field for five minutes when he was knocked to the ground by the opponent's defender during a contention in the penalty area.
Seeing him fall into the muddy water, Leeds City players raised their arms and complained to the referee about the foul by the opponent's defender.
He Feng also shouted: "Is this a penalty kick?!"
But the referee shook his head and hooked his hand to signal Hu Lai to get up.
William Barton, the Burley center back who knocked over Hulay, glanced down and snorted slightly sarcastically: "Don't wait to get up, you can't cheat a penalty, kid."
Hu Lai, who was about to get up, heard this, looked up at him, and said in English: "You misunderstood, brother. I didn't intend to cheat for a penalty kick. After all, it didn't take a penalty kick to score your goal."
Barton's face fell, and he stared at Hu Lai fiercely.
Hu Lai shrugged, turned around and ran away, leaving him with a back covered in mud.
※※※
"Williams passed the ball, Hu Lai——! Ah!"
With He Feng's roar, Hu Lai pushed the football over the bottom line.
"After Hu Lai came on the field, he was closely defended by the opponent's No. 5 center back Button. The header just now was because he was squeezed by the opponent and failed to complete the head-shaking action..."
After Patton completed his defense against Hu Lai, he smiled at the boy who had just provoked him: "Hey, thank you for your rescue."
He wanted to ridicule Hu Lai. It would be better if he could anger the other party and make him lose his mind.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai turned around and asked him seriously: "How are you going to thank me? Treat me to dinner or give me money?"
After leaving Barton stunned, he said disgustedly: "Don't just talk. There is no sincerity! If you have the ability, don't follow me all the time!"
Hearing what Hu Lai said, Barton reacted and smiled even more happily: "What? Are you scared? Do you want to beg for mercy now? It's too late, Asian boy!"
The scene of two people bickering in the penalty area was naturally seen by people watching the game broadcast.
"Hu Lai... seemed to be chatting with Barton. I wonder what the two of them were talking about. They seemed quite happy?" He Feng was a little confused and not sure.
Yan Kang didn't know the content of the chat, but he couldn't say nothing, so he had to focus on Hu Lai's language skills: "By the way, Hu Lai seems to speak English very well. I think this is probably why he can integrate so quickly. The reason for the team... After all, there is no language barrier, which makes it easier for him to communicate with his teammates and better understand the coach's tactical intentions..."
But He Feng was still curious about what Hu Lai said. Both players covered their mouths and couldn't even read their mouths to interpret lip language. He could only suppress his curiosity in his heart.
Tengfei Video owns the online broadcast rights of the Premier League. The commentator Shen Lang is not as reserved as He Feng. He directly talked about cross talk in the commentary: "Hu Lai must have asked Button, 'Have you eaten?', and then Button replied to him "Eat fried noodles with soybean paste," Hu Lai said.
The barrage was full of 666.
Yan Yan, who was watching the game live at home, pointed at the screen and said to his parents: "This central defender is going to be unlucky!"
"You know what?" The mother rolled her eyes at him.
The son put his hands on his hips with great pride and shook his head: "I knew it!"
※※※
Seeing that Hu Lai was being targeted by the opponent's No. 5 center back, Williams simply shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area.
The quality of this long-range shot is quite high.
The football moved forward against the turf and bounced on the uneven surface of the turf, making it more difficult for the goalkeeper to save.
Burley's goalkeeper made a quality save, diving sideways and flicking the ball over the line with his fingertips.
"Williams! What a pity! In the 75th minute of the game, Leeds City got a corner kick..."
In the broadcast, Burley's players returned to defend the penalty area, and Leeds City's central defenders Luke Davis and Teddy Bradford, including the tall and powerful left back Farrak Quinn, were all together. Run up, stand in the penalty area, and prepare for a corner kick.
Among them, Leeds City's two tallest players, the 1.92-meter-tall center captain Lorenzo Esposito and the 1.90-meter-tall center back Teddy Bradford, stood at the front. In Burley's small penalty area.
Facing these two people, Burley's defenders should not neglect it. Except for the goalkeeper, all three Burley players are in the small penalty area, defending three against two. It cannot be said that they do not take it lightly.
In addition to this, there are two other Burley players standing just outside the small penalty area, protecting the center. This is to prevent Leeds City players from suddenly cutting in from the back and attacking the center.
After all, Leeds City still had three players behind them. Hu Lai, Luke Davis and Falek Quinn stood in the area between the penalty spot and the penalty area line, and were blocked by three Lanans respectively. Chaberly's players stayed one-on-one.
Quinn noticed Hulay between himself and Davis, and he snorted: "You should be outside the penalty area, not here."
He felt that Hu Lai was not strong in physical confrontation and was of little use when fighting for corner kicks in the penalty area.
Hu Lai smiled at him: "I can protect you here, Farek."
"You're covering me?" Quinn laughed, thinking this kid was talking nonsense.
"Yes, I'll help you create opportunities." Hu Lai nodded seriously.
"How do you cover it?" Quinn snorted.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hu Lai suddenly raise his arm and hook his hand towards the door...
※※※
Not counting the Burley goalkeeper, there are currently eight Burley players defending in the penalty area - in addition to the seven mentioned above, there is also a Burley player in the corner of the penalty area, who is preventing possible long shot.
On Leeds City's side, five players entered the penalty area, two at the front and three at the back.
William Barton withstood Leeds City center back Teddy Bradford. At the same time, he noticed that Hulay was not at the front, so he looked at Hulay hiding behind and snorted.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Hu Lai hooking his hand in the distance:
Come here!
Button was stunned. He didn't understand why Hu Lai did this... I'm here to defend your team's central defender, go over there and do it!
Seeing that he didn't come over, Hu Lai spread his hands towards Barton, shrugged and curled his lips, fully demonstrating his disdain for this coward who didn't dare to defend him.
Button really didn't expect that this Chinese player could be so cheap - am I a coward? Damn... if you have the ability, come over here!
He bared his teeth at Hu Lai.
Lancashire captain Reese Hutchinson noticed something strange about his teammates, and he shouted: "William! Where are you looking? Keep an eye on your own people!"
He pointed his finger at crooked Teddy Bradford.
Button had no choice but to glare at Hulay for the last time, then withdrew his gaze and blocked the Leeds City center back.
※※※
"What are you doing?" Quinn asked Hu Lai with a dark face.
"I'm covering you. You see, I have angered the opponent's defender. When the corner kick comes out, he will definitely come straight to me, and when the time comes, you will get an opening in front of the goal! Come on, Farek, Then you will be the hero who equalizes the score!”
Quinn looked at the serious Hu Lai and couldn't tell whether this kid was serious or just talking nonsense...
Before he could continue to delve into this issue, he heard a crisp whistle!
※※※
Pete Williams passed the ball to midfielder Robert Canroy, who was standing next to him at the corner flag.
He then ran back, seemingly trying to get around Canroy and receive Canroy's pass. After all, there is a huge space over there.
When Canroy received the ball, the Burley player who came up to defend suddenly realized that the situation was not good, because now in this area, it suddenly became an unfavorable situation for him to face two Leeds City players alone.
He quickly turned around and stretched out his hand to call on his teammates who were originally defending in the corner of the penalty area to come up and help him. At this moment, Williams suddenly changed his line and circled back to the baseline from behind Canroy, intending to attack the opponent's player. Straight into the penalty area!
At the same time Canroy passed the football in front of Williams' run.
Burley's defensive player now didn't have to worry about whether to go up to block Canroy or retreat to defend Williams. He didn't have time to wait for his teammates to come up to help him. He turned directly to chase Williams.
At the same time, the three Leeds City players who were standing in the penalty area took action at the same time.
Davis, who was originally at the back point, accelerated and went straight forward, heading straight for the back point of Burley's small penalty area.
Quinn in front also went straight into the goal.
Both of their movements simultaneously led the Burley players who were originally marking them to retreat together.
At the same time, Lorenzo and Bradford struggled to squeeze in front of the goal, firmly attracting all Burley defensive players inside and outside the small penalty area.
Where is Hu Lai?
He didn't run towards the goal, but turned around and ran outside the penalty area!
This caught the Burley player who was defending him off guard - he froze on the spot, wondering what Hu Lai was going to do?
Then he saw Charlie Porter, who was outside the penalty area, speeding into the penalty area and running towards an unguarded space.
This Burley player is glad that he did not follow Hu Lai out immediately, otherwise the penalty area would be empty now! He immediately didn't care about Hu Lai anymore and ran directly towards Porter who was getting in behind him.
Amid the huge boos from the Burley fans, Williams broke into Burley's penalty area and approached the baseline with the ball. After further pulling all Burley's defensive players over, he passed the ball!
He did not pass the ball to his captain Lorenzo, who was in the small penalty area to meet him, nor did he pass the football to his teammates who were advancing forward from behind.
Instead, he swiped it to Charlie Potter who had inserted into the restricted area!
"Inverted triangle pass!"
Charlie Potter watched the football roll over and then swung his right foot. He was going to shoot!
Just then, he heard a shout from behind: "Charlie!!"
Somehow, Potter's feet were swung up, but he didn't fall down! As if the pause button was suddenly pressed, he froze in place while maintaining his shooting posture, letting the football pass under his crotch and continue to roll behind him!
Behind him, Hu Lai, who was about to run out of the penalty area, turned back and came back again!
At this time, there was no Burley defensive player around him - the Burley player who was originally defending him was attracted by Charlie Potter's movement!
"Hu Lai! Opportunity -!" He Feng shouted excitedly.
Facing the rolling football, Hu Lai raised his right leg, using the same shooting action as Charlie Porter just now, but this time he did not suddenly stop shooting, but kicked the football firmly!
The football was twisted into an arc, bypassing the crowd in front of the door, and also bypassing the fingers of the Burley goalkeeper!
Crash into the net!
"Oh oh oh oh! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!" Sky TV commentator Matthew Cox drawled and shouted, "His second Premier League game, second Premier League goal! He equalized the score for Leeds City ! ”
The noisy stadium suddenly became quieter, and the boos in the sky became much quieter.
None of the Burley fans expected that the goal would happen like this...
After scoring, Hu Lai turned around and ran towards the corner flag area, doing his signature celebration for the second time.
When he landed in front of the camera, the number and name on his back happened to be displayed on the live TV screen.
No. 14
Hu Lai!
