Chapter 998 The real madman
Regarding Hulay's goal, TV viewers may see it more clearly.
When Kamara passed the ball, he was still competing with Mantegulu, and it seemed that all his strength was used to fight against the opponent. The two people's hands were entangled, and their bodies were leaning against each other, almost becoming one. triangle.
In this case, the best result may be that Hu Lai stops the football and tries to protect it. As long as he can hold the ball, Mantegulu will not dare to do anything to him out of fear, so that he can pass the ball out in the penalty area and create the next round of offense.
Most people didn't expect Leeds City's attack to be successful.
So they were unprepared for the next goal.
It wasn't until they saw Hu Lai stretching out his right foot in a ghostly manner and stabbing the football towards the goal with the outside instep that they realized... this was a shot!
"Good goal!! Beautiful——!!" Xie Lan slapped her face hard in front of the TV, stood up and shouted, completely ignoring that it was already past four in the morning.
But Hu Lixin did not stop her, but clapped his hands vigorously.
Li Ziqiang heard a cheer from next door and knew it must be from Sister-in-law Xie Lan.
Looking at the figure on the TV who was running towards the corner flag area to celebrate the goal, a faint smile appeared on his face...
※※※
"Coming!!"
Accompanied by Yan Kang's shout.
Hu Lai, who ran to the corner flag, jumped high, turned in the air, waved his hands down, and stood firmly on the turf of the corner flag pole with his legs!
"This is the first time that Hulay's iconic celebration has appeared in the Champions League!"
Yan Kang announced loudly and happily.
"We hope... we believe that this kind of scene will often appear in the Champions League!"
"And Yan Kang, I noticed that when Hulay made this celebration, the noise above the Bay Stadium seemed to be smaller... It seems that even the stubborn Turkish fans will be affected by Hulay's The performance is shocking! Hahaha!”
This was not He Feng's illusion. The boos and curses in the stadium were indeed quieter.
The team's assistant coach Sam Landill happily said to Clark: "Hu's goal knocked down the arrogance of the Bay Lighthouse!"
Clark nodded: "Tell the players, the opponent will definitely counterattack next, don't be afraid. Use the way we are good at, the best defense... is offense!"
※※※
Clark was right. When the game restarted, the Bay Lighthouse, which had lost the ball, did launch a fierce attack on Leeds City's goal.
The momentum was like eating Leeds City alive.
At this time, the average team will definitely choose to shrink their defense to avoid the sharp attack of the home team.
But Leeds City did the opposite.
The Bay Lights attack, and so do they!
Bay Lighthouse's offensive is fierce, and their offensive strength is not weak. They really dare to invest troops in the offense. They seem to not care at all if they lose the ball and are beaten into space by the opponent...
"Madman!" Gulf Lighthouse head coach Uno Ashatkin cursed gloomily.
The former Turkish national team coach has studied the opponents in this game very carefully.
He knew coach Tony Clark was an offensive maniac.
But he didn't expect that the other party could be so crazy...
In the first half, when he saw Clark choosing defensive counterattack tactics, he was still sarcastic in his mind - it seems that this "madman" is not really crazy. At least he knows how dangerous it is to continue attacking in an away game against Bay Lighthouse. matter.
Maybe the English media's reports about the head coach are exaggerated in themselves - it's normal. Exaggeration and distortion of facts are the most common methods used by the British media.
But now Atkinsha just wants to curse.
Because Leeds City manager Tony Clark is such a lunatic!
He finally took the lead. When the game ends with ten minutes left, shouldn't a normal coach ask his team to shrink their defense and try to hold on to this one-goal lead?
But he just let the team continue to attack... Is this because he is not satisfied with taking a one-goal lead and wants to continue scoring goals?
Damn it! He is indeed a lunatic!
Leeds City's desperate style of play now makes the Bay Lighthouse very uncomfortable.
Let's attack... I'm always worried that another one will be stolen behind me.
If you don't attack, you will watch your opponent take three points at their home court, and no one would be willing to change it.
In the end, Atkinsha gave the instruction - let the team continue to attack and ignore the defense.
The Bay Lighthouse is lagging behind anyway, and the worst result is nothing more than losing one more goal. But if we can score first, we can even the score...
At this time, Atkinsha no longer thinks about defeating the Premier League champions at home and taking all three points.
Instead, lower your goal:
Even if you can draw your opponent at home and gain a point, that's fine.

After both coaches made their decisions, the last ten minutes of the game were exciting and exciting.
Whether they are Leeds City fans, Bay Lighthouse fans, or fans thousands of miles away in China, their hearts are in their throats.
I hope that a goal will appear, but I am also worried that I will enter the door that I shouldn’t enter...
"Watching the Leeds City game is good for everything. You can not only appreciate the hearty attack, but also cheer for Hulay's goal... There is one thing - it is not very friendly to the heart. I recommend that friends with poor tolerance not to watch it. It’s live broadcast. It will be better to watch the replay after knowing the score after the game..."
Some Chinese fans complained like this online.
This suggestion, which is obviously not in line with the normal practice of watching football matches, has been recognized and praised by many people. It shows how deeply rooted the concept of "watching Leeds City matches is heart-breaking" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...
Fortunately, such an intense and exciting game only lasts ten minutes.
Neither side was able to score again in these ten minutes.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the boos above the Bay Stadium reached their peak - the home team fans were dissatisfied that their team actually lost to Leeds City, the weakest seed team in this Champions League at home...< br>
Amid huge boos, Leeds City players celebrated their first Champions League victory in the club's history.
"The game is over! The game is over! Leeds City defeated Bay Lights 2:1 away! Victory in their first Champions League game! Congratulations to Tony Clark, he became another Champions League player Congratulations to the winning England manager! , his goal is the first Champions League goal in the history of Leeds City! Congratulations to Hu! His first goal in the Champions League helped Leeds City gain three points!" Matthew Cox shouted at the top of his lungs! Said, "This is... this is the strength of the Premier League champion!"
Putting aside Catalonia and Vesuvius, if Leeds City cannot win even the fourth-tier team in this group, it will indeed make the proud and fragile British feel frustrated...
It is conceivable that if Leeds City plays according to the way they played in the first half and loses the game in the end, they will definitely be criticized by the British media when they return to the UK.
Even those who had previously criticized them for "only knowing how to attack but not knowing how to defend" would turn their guns and angrily accuse them of being cowardly and timid, saying "they only know how to defend and dare not attack."
Well now, Clark and his team have won the right to breathe - no matter how the next games against Catalan United and Vesuvius go, the fourth-tier team must win. . This is everyone’s minimum requirement for Leeds City’s results in this Champions League group stage.
※※※
After the game between Leeds City and Bay Lighthouse, the whistle kicked off for the strong dialogue in this group.
Catalan United faced Vesuvius at home.
This game is regarded as a battle for first place in the group.
The La Liga giants already led Vesuvius by three goals at the end of the first half, fully demonstrating their strength.
Perhaps it was the three-goal lead at halftime that made them lose their guard.
Not long after the second half started, Vesuvius got a goal back.
Five minutes later Vesuvius scored another goal to tie the score at 2:3.
Catalan United became nervous, while Vesuvius' morale was boosted and seemed to overturn Catalan United in the away game.
At the last moment of the game, Catalonia had to huddle in its own penalty area and was beaten so hard that it couldn't hold its head up.
If it weren't for his bad luck, Vesuvius might have evened the score...
It's a pity that until the end, they failed to erase Catalonia's one-goal lead.
At the end of the game, Catalonia narrowly defeated Vesuvius 3:2 at home.
Got three points.
In this way, Catalan United and Leeds City have three points, and the goal difference is also one goal. However, Catalan United's total number of goals is one more than Leeds City's, so Catalan United is temporarily ranked first in the group. Leeds City follows closely behind.
Vesuvius ranked third in the group, with Bay Lighthouse at the bottom.
"Ahhhh!"
After the game, in the Catalan United locker room, Mario Salado suddenly yelled, attracting the attention of other teammates.
"What's wrong, Mario?"
"Mario, what are you crazy about?"
"Depressed!" Salado said.
"What are you so depressed about?"
"I didn't score..."
When everyone heard this, they dispersed one after another - this guy was clearly showing off!
Salado performed very well in this game. Although he did not score a goal, he had a direct assist, and he also had a shot in the game that caused an own goal by Vesuvius center back Lorenzo Pinola.
He made two goals by himself, and a super star is rising.
It can be said that if it weren't for his outstanding performance, Catalonia United might not have been able to win Vesuvius at home.
"Hey, don't leave... I'm serious, I'm really sorry that I didn't score..." Salado reached out to his teammates who turned to leave, as if he wanted to retain them.
But no one paid any attention to him.
Only his friend Antonio Valero was still sitting next to him - because they were sitting next to each other...
So Salado turned to Valero and said: "Antonio, can you understand me? Hu Dou scored in the game, but I didn't!"
Valero nodded: "I understand you, Salado."
He really understands his friend, rather than being perfunctory.
Because he knew exactly why his best friend was so excited.
Although he represented the first team in the Champions League last season, after one season, Salado had two assists in the Champions League, but not even a goal.
Of course, it was Salado's first Champions League season after all, and it can be said that he was still gaining experience.
So after a season of training, he will definitely achieve something in the Champions League this season, right?
No.
Although his shot caused the opponent's own goal, the ball definitely cannot be attributed to him - because after the football hit the opponent's defender's leg, it even changed its direction before flying into the goal. This kind of ball cannot be counted as a goal for the shooter in any way.
So he still didn't score.
Considering that this is the first Champions League game of the season, in fact, if there is no goal, there is no goal, which is not a big deal.
But the problem is that in another Champions League game that ended earlier, Hulay, who Salado was particularly concerned about, made a breakthrough in his first Champions League game and scored a goal.
It was also his first time playing in the Champions League, and Salado spent a season failing to do so. Hu Lai scored in the first game...
Based on Valero's understanding of Salado, he will definitely be resentful.
That's why he yelled depressedly in the locker room.
He patted Salado: "It doesn't matter, Mario. This season's Champions League has just begun, you will definitely score..."
Salado did not feel comforted, but cried sadly: "But Antonio, on the Champions League scorer list, I am already 0:1 behind..."
Valero had to change his perspective: "You have to think about it this way, Mario - as long as you can defeat Hu in a direct dialogue with Leeds City, wouldn't it be enough? Hu is the core of Leeds City's offense, and the whole team gives He passes the ball, and you are just a winger in the team... There is really no need to compare your total goals with him..."
Salado thought for a while and felt that what his friend said made sense, and the smile reappeared on his face: "You are right, Antonio! The main thing is that I can beat him in the next two games against Leeds City. , that’s it! ”
He also specifically added: "It's the individual goals that beat him, not the team that beat him!"
After all, Catalonia United is stronger than Leeds City. It is too easy to defeat Leeds City at the team level. In Salado's heart, he has benefited from the team and does not really win against Hu Lai. It is not worth mentioning. .
"Come on, Mario, you can do it!" A good friend cheered him up.

"FUCK!"
Charlie Potter was sitting in the nightclub, looking at the hot girls around him who were turning a blind eye to him, and he made a curse word.
He still clearly remembers that at the end of the game against the Bay Lights, he came off the field and walked to the locker room. Near the tunnel, he raised his hand to wave to the fans in the stands as usual. Then he saw a charming female fan ogling him.
At that time, Potter's heart beat violently and unsatisfactorily - Could it be that I, Charlie Potter, also have spring?
This is the first time!
This is the first time a female fan showed her love to him on the spot!
So Porter returned to England the night after the game. He didn't even return home, so he went straight to the nightclub. He wanted to use the momentum of defeating the Bay Lighthouse, become a little prince of the nightclub, and conquer those hot "queens".
Who would have thought that when he came to the nightclub with great interest, he would see such a scene...
Everything is not much different from before.
Nothing changed, just like the flirtatious look he felt at the stadium... was just an illusion, a beautiful misunderstanding. (End of chapter)
