Chapter 1011 Merry’s opponent
When Madrid Kings captain Alexandra Cerrados knocked on the door of Melly Banega's room, he was surprised to find that the TV in his room was showing the Champions League match between Catalonia United and Leeds City.
"Are you watching the Catalan United game?"
Melly smiled and said: "I'm not watching the Catalan United game, captain, I'm watching the Leeds City game."
Cerrados was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Oh, Hu..."
Ever since Melly ran to find Hulay at the best awards ceremony in European football in full view of the public, his feud with Hulay is no longer a secret.
Not only within the King of Madrid, but also outside, many people know that Melly regards Hulay as his opponent.
If this matter had been exposed a year ago, it would have surprised many people and made them feel incredible.
But now after the World Cup, no one will think it is ridiculous for Melly to regard Hulay as his opponent.
After all, if a Premier League Golden Boot, the best player in the Premier League, the top scorer in the World Cup... are not qualified to be Melli's opponent, is this humiliating Hu Lai or humiliating Melli?
Melly has basically completed a grand slam from league title to Champions League title in his club career, but at the national team level, he still has zero honors.
Although everyone believes that he is recognized as the strongest among the younger generation of players, he is not yet strong enough to dominate the field.
Kabangka can fight him back and forth.
So as the second player after Kabangka to win both the Best of the Season and Best Young Player honors selected by the Premier League Players Association, why can't Hulay be regarded as a threat by Melly?
Cerrados himself was also impressed by Hu Lai.
Because of this World Cup, he scored four goals and had two assists, and won the World Cup Best Player. The World Cup Golden Boot was won by Hu Lai.
If Hulay scores one less goal, Cerrados can take advantage of more assists and win the World Cup's Golden Boot and Best Player.
"Do you think Leeds City can reach the knockout rounds?" Cerrados asked.
Melli shook his head: "I don't know, the hope is slim now. But as long as he can still participate in the Champions League, we can always meet in the game."
"It's difficult... Hu is a good player, but Leeds City..." Cerrados shook his head.
It's not that he looks down on Leeds City, but he knows very well that it was a miracle that this team won the league championship last season. Let’s look at where they stand in the league this season.
Not to mention the league championship, they probably won't even be able to qualify for the Champions League next season...
Merry also frowned when he heard the captain's words.
This is indeed a serious issue.
If Hulay is unable to participate in the Champions League due to Leeds City's strength, how can he play against Hulay again?
Count on the national team?
That's even slimmer.
Melli looked at the TV screen that had resumed the game and suddenly said: "If he performs well in this game and is spotted by Catalonia... maybe Catalonia will sign him?"
As long as Hulay goes to Catalonia, there is no need to wait for the Champions League, and Melly can often play against Hulay.
Cerrados didn't expect that such an idea would pop up in Melly's mind. He was shocked and waved his hands quickly: "Are you crazy, Melly? If he really goes to Catalonia, Mr. Sanchez will go crazy."
Melly remembered the "story" between the club's football director Xavi Sanchez and Hulay. He quickly stuck out his tongue and then laughed: "I forgot about this..."
Everyone knows that the King of Madrid really made a bid for Hulay, but in the end Hulay rejected the King of Madrid and switched to Leeds City.
People who knew about this at the time just marveled at Hulay's courage, and some people felt sorry for him. After all, he just passed by the top giants Madrid Kings and missed what may be the only opportunity in his life to join the Madrid Kings.
But no one thinks so now. People who know this now look at Xavi Sanchez with a strange look.
There are rumors, it is said... It is said that after Hulay won the Premier League Player of the Year, the Golden Boot and the Premier League Championship, Mr. Xavi Sanchez's face was not good-looking in those days.
Melly didn't know if this was true, because he didn't see Mr. Sanchez during that time. The rumor is said to have come from someone close to Mr. Sanchez.
But from the beginning of this rumor, everyone knew that Mr. Sanchez was not as calm as he showed about his failure to sign Hulay. When Hulay first emerged in the Premier League, some media asked Mr. Sanchez about the original Do you have any regrets or regrets about not being able to sign Hu Lai?
How did Mr. Sanchez answer: "The King of Madrid searches for enough talented players around the world every year, and everyone who can be spotted by the King of Madrid is of outstanding talent. So I am not satisfied with Hu's achievements in Leeds City. It’s not surprising, because he has such ability. But regret? Sorry, the King of Madrid will not regret not being able to sign anyone, after all, we are the king.”
This is very domineering, but Sanchez is qualified to say this.
Countless professional players are crying and wanting to join the Madrid Kings. Some even go on strike to protest at their original club's home, or even take a vacation without returning, forcing the club to agree to the Madrid Kings' offer so that they can You can successfully join your favorite team and realize your dream as a boy.
It’s not like no one has rejected the Madrid Kings. For example, players from Catalonia United will not transfer to the Madrid Kings easily.
But there are few young players who can resist the Madrid king.
There have always been people who did not want the King of Madrid, and there were very few people who did not want the King of Madrid.
As for Hulay, everyone thought it was the King of Madrid who gave up on him, rather than him rejecting the King of Madrid.
But when Hulay won the Premier League title, this view changed. More details about the original transfer were revealed, and everyone knew that it was the player who rejected the Madrid Kings and would rather go to a newly promoted team in the Premier League.
And seeing Leeds City's Premier League championship, can anyone say that Hulay's choice was wrong?
In the face of such results, everyone will think that the Madrid Kings will regret that they did not resolutely sign Hulay.
This time Sanchez did not answer questions about Hulay in front of the media.
But this silence itself speaks volumes...
Cerrados waved his hand and decided to end the topic: "Go to rest early, Melly. We still have our game tomorrow."
"Don't worry, captain. I'll go to bed after watching the game."
Cerrados said nothing more, nodded, closed the door and left.
After taking two steps, he stopped and looked back at the door of Melly's room.
He suddenly remembered the rumor about Merry being a petty person.
When he first heard this rumor, Cerrados scorned it.
Because Melli's performance in the Madrid Kings has nothing to do with being petty.
But looking at it now... Of course he is not petty, but Meili's obsession with Hu Lai is obviously not as simple as that of ordinary opponents. After all, the two of them have only fought once so far, but Melly still remembers it until now...
Professional players have to play many games in their lifetime, and no one can guarantee that they will only win or not lose. Contrary to what many people think, the most important thing for a professional player may not be the pursuit of victory, but learning how to face failure correctly.
Losing is certainly painful, regrettable and unwilling. But the more this happens, the more you have to learn to let go. If you are always immersed in the emotion of losing, then such a player will not achieve much.
He believed that Melli was not the kind of player who would be immersed in the failure of a game, but why was he so worried about the Chinese player?
Cerrados couldn't understand.
Could it be that you are really petty...
No, how can anyone be narrow-minded to only one person?

Melly returned to the TV and continued to watch the live broadcast of the game while lying on the bed.
In the picture, Catalonia is attacking Leeds City's goal.
If Melly remembers correctly, when the captain knocked on his door just now, Catalonia was attacking, and now they are still attacking...
Is this a wave of offensive that has not been completed? Are you still keeping pressure on Leeds City?
He was half lying on the bed, with his back leaning against the head of the bed, and continued to watch the Champions League group match between Leeds City and Catalonia United seriously.
※※※
The lagging Catalan United was completely angered.
This is their territory, let alone Leeds City. Even if the King of Madrid dares to lead Catalan United at the Sagrada Familia Stadium, he must be prepared to withstand the wrath of Catalan United.
They continued to attack Leeds City.
Driven by the organization of Rosas and Campuzano, the offensives continued one after another.
This gave the Leeds City players a very strange feeling, as if they were playing against themselves, because they were like this when they continued to attack... No, no, they were playing against an enhanced version of themselves.
"Rosas easily passed Vieira! He passed the ball to Campuzano on the sideline...Campusano was passing the ball to Salado!"
When Salado catches the ball, he passes the football directly forward!
At the same time, he jumped over from the side and dodged Leeds City right back Josh Lawler who came up to intercept him!
Then, amid cheers from the Holy Family Stadium, he accelerated away from Lawler, caught up with the football, and then took the football into the penalty area.
Although in the end when he tried to break into the penalty area, Jay Adams who came to help defend broke the bottom line.
But his sharp breakthrough still won him deafening cheers and applause from the stadium stands.
With Catalonia lagging behind, they badly need such a boosting scene.
The scene where Salado just passed the ball without stopping and broke through Leeds City's wing defense was very exciting.
After the team won a corner kick, Salado also made an action that ignited the atmosphere of the audience - he kept raising his arms, encouraging the Catalan United fans in the stands to cheer even louder for the team and give the team Come on and cheer!
Valero in the stands and the Catalan United fans around him stood up from their seats, waved their arms and roared towards the Leeds City goal.
At the same time, he shouted in his heart: Well done, Mario! that's all! Just kick it!
※※※
The atmosphere at the scene was further inflamed.
Amid deafening shouts, Rosas took a corner kick.
After Jimenez and Fortune attracted the attention of the Leeds City defenders in front of the goal, Swedish striker Edmund Pettersson suddenly came out from the outside, leaped into the air, and made a powerful top shot!
Although Leeds City goalkeeper Van der Ven made a save for this powerful header that was close at hand, this subconscious save did not work!
Before he could reach it, the football flew into the goal!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Pettersson!! Pettersson!! GOOOOOOOOOOOL!! Catalonia equalized the score! Equalized the score seven minutes after conceding the goal!! Beautiful!! They told Leeds City with this goal , whose home field is this! ”
The continuous cheers at the Holy Family Stadium reached a climax at this moment.
After scoring the goal, Pettersson excitedly ran towards Rosas who passed the ball to him. Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, the two people hugged each other.
Other Catalan United players followed, jumped on them, and celebrated with them.
Salado was among them. After he ran over, he did not rush to hug. Instead, he faced the stands and continued to raise his arms to inflame the atmosphere and make everyone cheer louder and louder.
The Catalan United fans in the stands collectively responded to his call and tried their best to raise the decibel level of their cheers again.
There was a sound storm in the entire Holy Family Stadium.
Every Catalan United fan is hysterical in their seats - this is the performance we want to see!
At their home court, Catalonia United finally brought the game back to the same starting line!
