Chapter 1020 I will score goals like this
"Williams shot from distance - a great save from Cordero! He kept the goal clean! Leeds got a corner... It was a chance to score, but also note that it was Catalonia who scored Opportunities because they can fight back..."
Matthew Cox reminds.
At the same time, in front of the home team's coaching bench on the sidelines, assistant coach Alberto Vazquez had returned to Bernal with French forward Fabian Bouffre, who was about to be replaced.
"Do you want to make a substitution now?" Vazquez asked.
But Bernal shook his head: "No, wait a moment, wait until the corner kick is finished."
Then he said to Vazquez: "Let Mario stay in front and don't come back to participate in the defense."
Vazquez knew immediately what Bernal was going to do.
He wanted to take advantage of this corner kick opportunity to counterattack Leeds City.
Salado is fast and good at dribbling and attacking. He is indeed the most suitable candidate for counterattack.
Although he had consumed a lot of energy before, after two minutes of rest, he still had enough energy to fight back just this time...
※※※
Mario Salado on the field saw Leeds City getting a corner kick and tried to return to the penalty area to participate in defense, just like before.
But on his way back he heard the assistant coach shouting instructions to stay in front.
He couldn't believe it at first and pointed at himself.
After getting a nod from the assistant coach, he took a deep breath and realized that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Although the assistant coach did not elaborate, the meaning of simply letting him stay in front and not return to defense was not simple. He knew very well that this arrangement was to allow him to counterattack from the front.
Mr. Bernal trusted him and gave him the most important tasks.
Then he must not live up to Mr. Bernal's expectations.
Even center Pettersson returned to the penalty area, but he could stay alone near the midline.
It's a huge pressure, but it also means a huge honor.
As Leeds centre-backs Ben Grist and Teddy Bradford raced past him, Salado flashed a smile he was trying to hide.
The opponent's two central defenders both went up, which means...
Mario, you are going to be the hero of the Sagrada Familia Stadium!
He took deep breaths, trying to get as much oxygen as possible.
His heart and lungs are like an engine, needing to inhale a large amount of oxygen in order to explode with more surging power.
And now he is storing energy for the next explosion.

As the two Leeds City center backs came to the Catalan United goal, all the Leeds City players involved in the corner kick attack arrived.
There is no doubt that the two central defenders have attracted the most attention from the Catalan United defense.
In particular, Ben Grist, who is over 1.9 meters tall, is currently the tallest person in front of the Catalan United goal. The tallest person in the Catalan United team is their center back Joel Jimenez, who is 1 meter tall. Eighty-eight, two centimeters shorter than Grist.
His centre-back partner Paul Fortune is only 1.84 meters tall.
Goalkeeper Carlos Cordero is 1.86 meters tall.
High center Pettersson is 1.87 meters tall.
They are the tallest people in the Catalan League.
As for Leeds City, Ben Grist is 1.9 meters tall and Teddy Bradford is 1.88 meters tall.
The arrival of the two of them has indeed added a lot of air defense pressure to Catalonia's defense.
Jimenez and Fortune naturally faced off against the two central defenders from Leeds City. The former entangled Grist, the latter followed Bradford.
This does not mean that Hu Lai is unguarded.
As the top scorer in the Leeds City team, Catalonia did not ignore Hulay in the set-piece defense because of his short height. They specially sent someone to follow Hulay at every step.
Insua looked at Hulay in front of him. This was his goal in this set-piece defense.
His task is simple. He doesn't have to worry about football, just keep an eye on the person in front of him. Wherever he goes, he will go.
Although Leeds City's corner kicks will most likely find two central defenders, what Insua has to guard against is Hulay's second goal.
The man in front of him has already scored two goals in this game.
This was even after the head coach Mr. Bernal repeatedly emphasized to them before the game that they must be on strict guard against Hu Lai...
Both goals took advantage of the successful counter-offside opportunity and caught the Catalan United defense by surprise.
This further illustrates how cunning the man in front of him is and how rogue he is when running without the ball.
So Su Ya dare not take it lightly.
He really stared at Hu Lai without blinking.
Just as he was staring at Hu Lai, the person he was staring at suddenly spoke: "Is there something on my face?"
Yinsuya was stunned for a moment and didn't realize why Hu Lai asked this.
"Why else are you staring at my face? Is it because I'm handsome?"
Insuya, who came back to his senses, hummed: "Don't be so sentimental. I'm just defending you."
Hearing his words, Hu Lai burst out laughing: "You're just going to defend me with your eyes like this? Come on, let me teach you how to defend me. I'll run forward to catch the ball in a while..."
At this point, he pointed to the previous point specifically, as if he was afraid that Insuya wouldn't know the specific location.
As expected, Yinsuya looked along.
Seeing this, Hu Lai smiled slightly: "But this is just a fake move. Then I will suddenly change direction and run to the back point. That is the landing point of the football. If you don't follow me closely, you will be completely thrown away by me here." Then I will put the ball into the goal from the back point to complete the hat trick, am I clear enough?”
Yinsuya opened her mouth slightly and looked at Hu Lai in surprise, with an expression as if she heard "The Queen is pregnant"...
Although the 24-year-old Insua is not a veteran, he has played many games in Catalonia. This is the first time for him to meet an opponent who tells his next move so frankly during the game. .
After the initial shock, he fell into deep thought - so was this the nonsense of the kid in front of him, or was it true?
Wait, Insuya, what are you thinking about?
How could it be true? !
How could an offensive player tell a defensive player all his running routes? !
There are absolutely no such stupid people in the world!
And those who believe this nonsense are even more stupid!
Seeing that Insuya was confused, Hu Lai smiled in a contemptuous tone: "I told you everything. If you really lose the ball then, don't blame me for not telling you in advance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle, and Pete Williams lowered his raised arms and started running to kick the ball!
The football is flying towards the penalty area!
And almost at the same time as the football took off, Hu Lai did run forward!
Seeing this, Yinsuya quickly followed.
He was stuck inside, with his back to the goal, and he didn't look where the football was. His eyes were all focused on Hu Lai.
In his sight, Hu Lai, who was running forward, suddenly stopped and changed direction...
Sure enough, we turned back to the back point!
Yin Suya was shocked in his heart - he didn't expect that Hu Lai was not tricking him!
He quickly followed.
Despite this, Insuya has been thrown away by Hu Lai a little bit...
"Then I will suddenly change direction and run to the back point. That is the landing point of the football. If you don't follow me closely, you will be completely thrown away by me here..."
Insua's mind was filled with these words at this time.
I must not be thrown away by him!
Insuya picks up the speed and accelerates!
Then he successfully surpassed Hu Lai!
Just when Yinsuya was overjoyed, he suddenly realized that something was wrong - because he saw that Hu Lai, who was overtaken by him, did not come up to block his position, but just let himself be overtaken...
This gave him a very strange feeling: maybe it was not that he was faster than Hu Lai just now, but that Hu Lai took the initiative to slow down and was overtaken by him!
As for why he took the initiative to slow down...
Needless to say?
In Suya's eyes widening, Hu Lai, who had slowed down, pulled onions on dry land and jumped on the spot!
He did not go to the front point or the back point, but right in the middle, under the cover of Ben Grist and Teddy Brayford, rising out of the dense crowd!
"Hu Lai!!"
Both Jimenez and Fortune intend to stop Hulay, but there are two Leeds City center backs between them and the latter, so they can only watch the ball and sigh, unable to do anything!
The closest person to Hu Lai is Insuya, but he has been thrown away long ago and is one body away from Hu Lai. Now he can only reach out his hand reflexively and catch nothing in vain!
"Hu——!!"
Catalan United fans in the stands of the Sagrada Familia booed loudly.
Hu Lai jumped up behind the crowd amid the boos, like the rising sun!
He hit the ball exactly where it landed!
The football flew over the people in front of the goal and towards the goal!
Goalkeeper Cordero was obviously blocked from sight by the dense crowd in front of him. When he saw the football flying over and jumped into the air to save it... it was already too late!
The football flew into the goal before he could reach it!
When the ball really flew into the goal, whether it was Catalan United fans, Leeds City fans, or Chinese fans who stayed up late in front of the TV thousands of miles away... many people couldn't even believe their eyes. , when they saw the net being lifted up, they thought a football had hit the side netting from the outside.
It wasn't until they saw that the football did not go away without returning, flying out of the baseline, but was trapped in the "cage" woven by the net... They suddenly realized - this ball... this ball went in!
Cheers from bars large and small resounded over Leeds.
The sleeping land of China was almost awakened by the sudden roar!
"Hulay...Hulay! Hulay performed his first...hat-trick in the Champions League!!!"
