Chapter 786 Cultural Export
Hulay's two goals gave Leeds City a three-goal lead over Widgerstown in the first half. This score made many Leeds City fans in the stands feel reassured - they were basically guaranteed to win!
But after the start of the second half, Wijston quickly pulled a goal back.
Just six minutes into the second half, Widgston forward John Joe scored in front of the goal, rewriting the score to 1:3.
On the sidelines, Wiggerston head coach Roger Biller excitedly rushed out of the coaching bench and waved his fist at the Flanders Stadium stands.
During the halftime break, he told his players in the locker room not to think about the score or winning or losing. He put down all the baggage and fought against Leeds City in the away game.
"...Aren't they good at attacking? Then let's attack them! Let's see who has the last laugh!"
So at the beginning of the second half, Wijston turned away and took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Leeds City's goal.
And it really caught Leeds City off guard and scored in just six minutes!
"Aha! This game is really interesting!" Cox, as the neutral commentator, sounded like he was watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. "A goal was scored within nine seconds of kick-off in the first half..."
During the halftime break, the official revised the specific time of Hu Lai's goal. When everyone first saw the goal and then paid attention to the game time, they found that it was ten seconds, so they all said it was scored within ten seconds of the opening. ball.
But the actual time the ball actually took was nine seconds. So now Cox has increased the time for Hulay's goal by another second.
Of course, even if the goal is nine seconds, it still has not set the record for the fastest goal in the Premier League - this record is eight seconds and thirty-seven seconds. It was created by then Highlanders forward Andy Dallas in the 2003-2004 season, against Sydenham.
"... There was a goal six minutes into the second half. It looks like today is going to turn into a goal battle! Let's see, after losing a goal to the opponent, Leeds City head coach Tony Clark will still What countermeasures are there..."
Clark's countermeasure is... to continue the attack!
This was not at all what Cox expected.
And that's what he wanted to see.
As a neutral party, of course I hope to see a goal feast...
Sure enough, neither side took it back and continued to attack.
Leeds City scored a goal from Pete Williams in the 69th minute.
Not to be outdone, Wijston used a long shot to rewrite the score to 2:4 three minutes later.
The last goal of the game occurred in the 82nd minute. When Kamara was making a pass from the wing to find Hulay, the center back Paul Godric who was guarding Hulay took the first kick and kicked him directly. Scored the goal...
Own goal!
"Ah!!" He Feng held his head in his hands and shouted regretfully when he saw this. "Godric scored an own goal! What a pity! If he hadn't touched the ball, Hu Lai behind him would have scored a hat trick!"
Although Leeds were once again three goals ahead, with around ten minutes left in the game, the scoreline meant they would have a strong chance of winning three points at home. But it is a pity that He Feng only considers Hu Lai's interests at this time.
Just as he said, if Godric didn't block it, Hu Lai, who was following him, would have scored a hat trick - this ball would have been no difficulty for him.
Hu Lai scored his first hat-trick in the Premier League against North London Wanderers last season, and was also the first hat-trick by an Asian player in the Premier League.
This season, Hu Lai has scored twice four times in ten league rounds and is only one step away from a hat trick, but has never been able to achieve his goal.
In front of the TV, Xie Lan angrily pointed at Godric, who was covering his face with his hands and making a sign of pain, and asked her husband: "Did this person do it on purpose?!"
Hu Lixin couldn't laugh or cry: "Listen to what you said...who would deliberately score an own goal?"
"In order to prevent our son from completing the hat trick, we did everything possible!" Xie Lan gritted his teeth.
"He definitely doesn't want to. But as a central defender, when defending closely, he has to take a shot even if the ball comes, and he doesn't consider those things at all. It's just that he is unlucky..." Hu Lixin explained.
Xie Lan knew that her husband was right, but she still couldn't help but feel regretful and unhappy that her son failed to complete the hat trick.
She sat down on the sofa again and looked at her son who had gone to celebrate the goal with his teammates. He seemed not to care about this matter at all...
On the TV, He Feng was comforting himself, and also the fans and viewers like Xie Lan in front of the TV: "...But it doesn't matter, the league has only played ten rounds, and there will be more opportunities in the future! When he just joined Leeds City last season , it took him fifteen league rounds to finally score eleven goals, and this season, he tied his total number of goals last season in just ten league rounds... With Hu Lai's form, he will definitely score a hat trick. ”
In the first round of the league, many people, including He Feng, were still discussing that this was Hu Lai's second season in the Premier League and that he would encounter many problems of this kind.
But now no one mentions it at all.
Because Hulay used goal after goal to prove to those who were worried about him or those who were not optimistic about him that there was no so-called "rookie wall" in front of him.
Having scored 11 goals in ten league games, he continues to lead the Premier League scorer list, and he is still far ahead!
From this perspective, we should indeed have confidence in Hu Lai. There were no hats in this game and there will definitely be in the future.
※※※
After Godric scored an own goal, both sides could no longer achieve anything.
The attack that lasted the entire second half also died down.
Of course, Wijston was unwilling to lose to Leeds City in an away game, but due to their lack of strength and bad luck, they had no choice but to accept it.
Leeds City is naturally extremely satisfied with this result - they don't care about the two goals conceded, as long as they can get three points.
In the end, Leeds City defeated Widgerstown 5:2 at home.
The two teams scored seven goals and presented a wonderful goal battle to the fans.
Everyone but the Wiggerston fans were satisfied.
In addition, this game also produced two other particularly gimmick things. One is naturally Leeds City's goal in the first nine seconds, and the special tactics used in this goal. Another thing is that Hu Lai finally has a song written specifically for him by fans, but this song sounds a bit...funny.
So what does Hu Lai himself think?
When Hu Lai was interviewed after the game, he was asked by reporters what he thought of the song given to him by the fans. He smiled and said: "I think it's very good and I like it very much. This is my first time." Hearing the song with my name during the game, I am very grateful to the fans for their love for me.”
The reporter asked with a smile: "Do you know the original song of this song?"
Hu Lai shrugged: "Of course, "Wholetthedogout?". I think the fans are so talented for thinking of adapting this song! I really like their idea, ha!"
< br>

David Miller pointed at the TV screen in the bar and excitedly shouted to other "White Rose" fans: "Nonsense he loves this song! There is no better recognition than this!" < br>
Then he picked up the wine glass and raised it high: "Come, let's drink to Leeds City's victory and Hu's goal - cheers!!"
After other fans looked at each other, they also picked up their wine glasses.
What more can be said?
Hu Lai himself said that he likes this song. Our boss is just unlucky that such a joke-like song can be liked by Hu Lai...
John Falkinghan muttered in a low voice: "Hu actually likes such a song. Now I have some doubts about Hu's taste and aesthetics..."
"Cheers!!"
The shouts of his companions masked John's confused complaints.
Levin, who was right next to him, still heard it. He smiled and patted John on the shoulder: "John, don't say it. After I sang it a few times, I thought this song was actually pretty good, ha!" < br>
John rolled his eyes at him and drank the beer in his glass.
News about the game continued to play on the television above their heads.
The team's head coach Tony Clark clarified the doubts of reporters at the post-match press conference: "...That tactic in the opening game? That was not my idea, although I also hope that I came up with it... But I I can’t lie to you. In fact, this post-kick-off tactic was Hu’s idea. . He came up with it during training, and I thought it was interesting, so I gave it a try... To be honest, I didn't expect it to succeed the first time, because this goal won us the game. It’s a good start and brings good luck... Ha!”
The Leeds City fans in the bar looked up at the TV with surprised expressions.
"God, this tactical idea was actually proposed by nonsense?"
"Being able to score goals and help the team design tactics...is there anything else that Hu can't do?"
※※※
The same question also occurs on the Internet.
Before the game was over, the video and GIF pictures of Leeds City's first goal were already circulating on the Internet.
Many fans said on the Internet that Tony Clark is truly a "madman" and that ordinary people can't come up with such an idea.
As a result, Clark now announced the correct answer. It turns out that this tactic was not designed by him, but by Hu Lai!
Many people quickly changed their minds on the Internet: Genius and madman can only be separated by a thought. Hu Lai is truly a genius!
The lively discussion about this ball on the foreign Internet also attracted the attention of Chinese fans. When everyone saw the fuss made by foreign fans about Hu Lai's ideas, they felt that they were just a group of country bumpkins who had never seen the world...
Because Chinese fans are generally familiar with Hu Lai's weird ideas.
Some Chinese fans spread the "Tiannu Scattering" corner kick tactic that Hu Lai invented at Flash Star, as well as his fancy celebrations during the campus football era, to foreign countries.
Tell those "hillbillies":
The things that shocked you are no longer surprising in our eyes. For Hu Lai, these are just basic operations!
Some foreign fans excitedly announced on social media that they had learned a Chinese word used by Chinese fans to praise Hu Lai, and explained the meaning of the word in detail.
Don’t do it 6: For Hu Lai, this is just his basic operation. Please don’t make a fuss about it and stay calm so that you don’t look like a fan who has just fallen in love with Hu Lai. This matter was reported back to the Chinese Internet, and Chinese fans and netizens praised it one after another:
Good guy, culture is exported!
