Chapter 763 A happy thing
When Leeds City midfielder Jay Adams passed the ball back to goalkeeper Van de Ven, North London Wanderers forward Sean Barnett sprinted towards the ball. He seemed not to give up and hoped to use it. The opportunity put psychological pressure on the Leeds City goalkeeper.
If Van der Ven can make a mistake on the fly and pass the football directly to his feet, wouldn't that be an opportunity to miss an empty goal?
If Barnett's behavior had been played at Leeds City's home court, there would have been boos all over the place.
But at St. John's Stadium, Barnett's actions won applause and cheers from the North London Rangers fans.
As for the curses from the one or two thousand Leeds City fans, they were completely drowned out by the cheers of the home team fans.
"Barnett is still pressing... He really worked hard today!"
Seeing this, Van der Ven had no time to observe the situation in front to decide how to pass the ball, so he had no choice but to kick the football to the right side of the front court with a big kick in the penalty area.
The pressing right-back Josh Lawler and the North London Wanderers players jumped up and competed for the top of the ball near the touchline.
In the end, it was Lawler who rubbed the football forward.
Charlie Porter retreated in time to control the second point.
However, at this time, Porter's back was facing the direction of the attack and there was no way to release the ball immediately.
Therefore, Hu Lai, who was not far in front of him, did not immediately start to move forward. Instead, he walked slowly and followed the North London Rangers midfielder Jack Emmett who came here to protect him. At the same time, he always turned his head to observe the situation on Potter's side.
The French national team's fringe international player's attention was all on Charlie Porter who was holding the ball at this moment, and he did not notice that there was another person behind him.
Porter has completed his turn adjustment and intends to pass the football directly to Lawler, who is advancing at high speed from the side. After the latter touches the football, he actively rushes forward.
Upon seeing this, Hu Lai decided to speed up and rush forward.
But Porter's intention to pass the ball was too obvious, and was spotted by North London Wanderers' left back Kyle Hawkins. He stepped forward and blocked the football.
So Hu Lai, who had just started, had to brake suddenly again and turned around to observe the situation behind him.
He saw fellow midfielder Jay Adams coming forward to receive the ball that was blocked by Hawkins. Instead of stopping the ball to adjust, he directly used his right foot to transfer the football laterally to the left.
The fullback over there, Farrak Quinn, is running forward at high speed towards the football.
Hu Lai immediately crossed into the free throw arc area at the front of the penalty area, but at the same time he did not forget to look back and observe the movement of his teammates. When he discovered that Pete Williams was also diagonally inserting into the middle at high speed, he immediately changed his running route and moved straight forward into the ribs of the penalty area instead of the middle, and raised his arms to signal to Farrek Kui. En pass the football.
Because there is no North London Rangers player within three meters around him at this time - just now the Rangers' midfielders Emmett and Hawkins were attracted by the cooperation between Charlie Porter and Josh Lawler on the wing. passed.
At the same time, Kamara ran forward closer to the center than him, and also took away the Rangers center back Rolin Menaye who was originally guarding here.
However, Quinn may not have seen this opening, or he may not be confident enough that he can accurately pass the ball to Hu Lai's feet. In short, he did not pass the ball immediately, but continued to dribble the ball forward to the north. A no-go zone for London Wanderers.
"Leeds City's counterattack! They advance very quickly! Whether they are forwards, full-backs, or midfielders... everyone is sprinting forward. It's hard to believe that these people have played from the starting line up to 85 Minutes!”
Seeing that Quinn did not pass the ball to him, Hu Lai did not dare to continue to advance in a straight line for fear that he would be offside, so he instead ran laterally, trying to stay in line with the retreating North London Wanderers defenders.
At this time, Quinn had already dribbled the ball to the distance of the penalty arc. When he saw Kamara, who was originally in the center, accelerating suddenly and trying to get behind the North London Wanderers defense, he immediately stabbed the football with the outside of his left foot. Go out and deliver a through ball!
The football passed by Ollie Battersby, another central defender of North London Wanderers, and was received by Kamara who had already crossed behind Battersby!
"Beautiful! Kamala is chasing the ball!"
Kamara uses his starting speed advantage to chase the football.
At the same time, North London Wanderers goalkeeper Julian Lame also quickly moved over. He chose to attack, pounced on the football, and blocked Kamara's shot angle.
Hu Lai, who originally ran to the middle, saw this change in offense and defense. Behind Menaye, he changed direction again and accelerated, rushing in front of Menaye!
At this time, Menaye finally remembered Hu Lai behind him, and he looked back to confirm the boy's location.
But he looked confused - where are the people? !
Hu Lai, who was originally following him, disappeared! Such a big living person disappeared right under his nose!
Then he heard a huge boo from the stands!
At the same time, a gust of wind passed by his side!
When Menaye turned his head again, Hulay had already rushed in front of him, and he could only see Hulay's back.
He stretched out his hand to pull it, but Hu Lai slapped it away!
"Hulai!!!"
Kamara, who drew goalkeeper Lame out, did not shoot, but passed the football across with his left foot.
Hu Lai followed up and hit the ball with a kick!
The ball hit the net!
"Oh oh oh oh oh! Beautiful!! Hu! Hu Lai!! He scored twice in the 86th minute! Leeds City finally took the lead again!!"
"Hu Lai's running without the ball is really beautiful!" He Feng in the studio behind also said excitedly. "Continuously changing his running route and intentions, cooperating with his teammates' offensive advancement, he finally appeared in the most lethal position and delivered a fatal blow! He is worthy of being the 'Fox of the Forbidden Zone'!"
As for the nickname "Fox of the Forbidden Zone", I forgot who said it in the first place and where it appeared. Because of his accurate summary of Hu Lai's playing style, it spread.
Everyone knows that Hu Lai is the fox in the penalty area, very cunning. If you are not careful, you may regret it!
Now it's North London Rovers' turn to take the fox's bite.
※※※
Kamara, who completed the assist, saw Hulay scoring and opened his arms to him.
Hulay didn't slow down after finishing the shot. He went around the goal post, ran towards Kamara, and jumped on top of him.
Kamala leaned back slightly, but still caught Hu Lai firmly.
On him, Hulay raised his fist to those North London Wanderers fans in the stands!
In the past, North London Wanderers fans may have had absolutely no interest in this Chinese player, neither liking nor hating him.
But starting from today, they put Hu Lai on the "undesirable" list in their hearts.
In two meetings, Hu Lai scored five goals for their Rangers!
How much hatred is this...
There were loud boos in the stands.
Hu Lai didn't care. He turned around and shook his fist at the North London Wanderers fans in another stand, successfully inciting boos from the North London Wanderers fans in that stand.
He wanted to continue provoking, but Kamala let him go. Then his teammates gathered around him and surrounded him.
In front of the Leeds City coaching bench on the sidelines, Tony Clark excitedly rushed out of the coaching area, ran directly into the stadium, took a circle and ran out again, giving Sam Randall a warm hug. .
He won the bet again!

"HUUUUUUU——!!!"
Accompanied by the long-drawn roar of the French commentator on the TV, Li Qingqing in front of the TV jumped on the spot, turned 180 degrees in the air, and performed Hu Lai's celebration!
Then she quickly turned around and looked at the live game on the screen again, with an excited smile on her face.
"Well done, Hu Lai! Well done!"
She shook her fist at the man on the television.
It was like people were there, cheering for Hulay's goal with the Leeds City substitutes.

"Hu Lai's physical fitness has really improved a lot..." Qin Lin said with emotion when he saw this goal.
He said this because he saw Hu Lai accelerate and change direction many times during this attack.
These anaerobic exercises are physically demanding during the final five minutes of the game.
He has played football abroad, so he knows very well that the physical requirements for domestic football matches and foreign football matches are completely different.
If many Chinese Super League players were to play in Europe, it would be difficult for them to make such continuous changes of direction in a game. Because their physical fitness cannot keep up, their muscle strength is not enough to support the body's movements.
But Hu Lai could make these series of changes so easily.
Especially at the end, when he accelerated from behind Menayer to the front, and rushed forward, he kicked the ground with great force. When shooting, the left leg serves as a supporting foot to stabilize the body, preventing the body from shaking and causing the shot to lose its accuracy.
These seemingly ordinary scenes are actually the sweat and efforts of a professional player.
Without the training and accumulation of physical strength in normal training, Hu Lai's legs softened at the critical moment, and the ball could directly fire the anti-aircraft cannon.
The young people nearby did not view Hu Lai's goal from the perspective of coach Qin Lin. They listened to the live sounds coming from the home theater, with boos and shouts intertwined. It came from different directions, making them feel as if they were actually there.
Everyone's heart is on fire.
Gotta go out!
Must go out!
It is a pleasure to play in such an environment and compete against high-level opponents, whether you win cheers or boos!
