Chapter 1021 This is what I failed to do
At the beginning of this game, the Holy Family Stadium had a normal home atmosphere.
Mainly to cheer for Catalonia United, and did nothing extraordinary towards Leeds City, and did not target Leeds City.
As the game progressed, the atmosphere changed.
The noise, mixed with boos, grew louder.
This also represents the Catalan United fans' attitude towards this game and their view of Leeds City - they feel the threat posed by Leeds City, which makes them uncomfortable.
It should have been a game that was easy to win, but it turned out to be so difficult. This is indeed difficult to satisfy the Catalan fans.
After Leeds took the lead for the second time, the boos above the stadium were deafening and barely stopped.
Even when Catalonia had the ball, the boos continued.
It makes people a little confused - are they booing Leeds City or Catalonia United?
The entire Holy Family Stadium is like a boiling pot, extremely lively and full of danger...
But when Hu Lai jumped up on the spot, shook his head and headed the ball into the goal, all the boos disappeared.
The stadium with more than 80,000 people seated was unexpectedly quiet.
Although it is not "silent", compared with the previous extremely noisy, it makes people's ears feel a vacuum, as if they are wearing noise-cancelling headphones with the effect turned to the maximum, and feel uncomfortable.
These Catalan United fans stared at the stadium in stunned silence. Their mouths were open but they made no sound. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Even the big screen at the scene hesitated for a moment before showing the latest real-time score:
Catalan United 2:4 Leeds City
※※※
After landing, Hulay first confirmed that the football had entered the goal, then turned to find Insua, and spread his hands towards him, which seemed to be saying: "You see, I didn't lie to you, right? It's not my fault for losing the ball!"
After the football entered the goal, Insua turned to look for Hulay, and happened to look at him at this time.
His eyes were confused, his expression was dull, and he remained in disbelief - wasn't that the last thing he said? How come you took off and headed the ball halfway through? !
Hulay no longer paid attention to the shocked Insua. He turned and ran towards the corner flag area, preparing to perform the fixed procedure after he scored.
At this time, the silence of the scene was finally broken by the shouts of Leeds City players.
They chased Hu Lai's figure and ran towards him with joy.
Hu Lai fell from the sky, and after finishing his celebration, he was thrown to the ground.
They scrambled to press on and vent their emotions with the wildest moves!
At this time, all the sounds in the stands returned - the familiar boos and noises sounded again, filling the entire stadium!
"Huh! Huh!! Oh my god!!" Matthew Cox held his head in his hands in the studio and exclaimed again and again, "Huh, he completed a hat trick at the Holy Family Stadium! Unbelievable! This is just him First season in the Champions League! Ladies and gentlemen, can you believe it? ”
He quickly added: "Sorry, I'm too excited... This is of course Hu's first season in the Champions League, and he has only played five Champions League games and has already scored five goals, averaging one goal per game! But it's not something magical about him - it's just what he's capable of, he's always had this 'superpower' like him! Just like participating in the World Cup, the first World Cup, scoring five goals in just three games and winning the World Cup Golden Boot... So what else is impossible for him, ladies and gentlemen, for us? , this may be some kind of miracle, but for Hu, this is just his...his daily life!”
Leeds City's bench and coaching bench were empty - everyone, whether substitute players or coaches, had rushed to the corner flag area where the players gathered to celebrate the goal with the players on the field.
The person leading the charge was their head coach Tony Clark.
When Hulay ran towards the corner flag area, Clark roared and rushed over, arriving almost at the same time as the players on the field.
He first hugged Hu Lai, then hugged him and threw him to the ground. Then more Leeds City players rushed up and drowned them...
Looking at this battle, it seems as if Leeds City did not win this Champions League group stage, but won the Champions League championship!
The Catalan United fans in the stands faced such an ecstatic opponent, but they did not laugh at them as country bumpkins who had never seen the world, because they were not qualified to laugh at this "country bumpkin".
The score of "2:4" on the big screen was bloody, constantly reminding them:
You lost!

"Unbelievable... unbelievable! I can't believe that Catalonia's defense was beaten to pieces by Leeds City at their home court!" The Spanish TV commentator kept shaking his head and said in pain. "We all know that Catalonia is better at attacking, but this does not mean that their defense is weak... In fact, Catalonia's defense is not weak! In La Liga last season, they only conceded 30 goals... But now they were actually scored four goals by Leeds City at their home court! The goals they conceded in one game were more than one-tenth of the total goals they conceded in the league last season. I don’t know what happened in this game! What..."
The Spanish TV commentator said he could not understand the game and was shocked.
The TV broadcast arrived in front of the Catalan United coach's bench. The people there all had the same expression as the commentator - staring blankly at the court, occasionally turning their necks to let people know that this was not a still picture, but there was still a clear look in their eyes. Deeply confused.
They also couldn't understand the game and were shocked.
I can't believe that Catalonia was conceded four goals at their home court and was two goals behind.
With little game time left, the difference between these two goals means that it is almost impossible for Catalonia United to make a comeback at home and get three points!
Catalonia has actually lost this game.
Mario Salado is still standing on the center line. He tried to get as close to Leeds City's half without letting himself go offside, hoping that when the football was kicked over, he could run less distance and reduce his physical burden.
He didn't expect that the load reduction would be so successful - he didn't need to put in any physical effort at all, because the football didn't come over!
He watched helplessly as Hulay used two changes of direction to throw Insua away from the center line, then jumped up and headed the ball into the goal...
Salado covered his face with his hands, unable to bear to look any further.
No matter from which perspective, he lost without any suspense in the duel with Hu Lai...

"Hahaha! You are indeed my son!" Xie Lan laughed loudly in front of the TV. Hu Lixin beside her did not remind her to pay attention to the volume so as not to disturb others.
Because just when Hu Lai scored, he had already heard several roars coming from the window, coming from different directions.
Obviously, they were not the only family watching this Champions League game in the community late at night.
This is not surprising. They have seen young people wearing Hu Lai's Anton Star or Leeds City jerseys in the community. So there must be Hu Lai fans in their community.
It's just that they don't know that their favorite player actually lives in this community...
Since everyone was watching the game in the middle of the night and everyone was screaming, there was no need for him to remind his wife to pay attention to the volume.
Anyway, even if it was noisy, it would only disturb Lao Li next door. He might also be watching the game...
Footage from the stands of the Holy Family Stadium appeared on the television, and the camera panned over the sheets of angry, disappointed, and miserable people.
In the dark tone of the picture, an oriental face with black hair and yellow skin suddenly appeared. He was wearing a sports coat with the Catalan United emblem printed on it, but the coat could be clearly seen from the unzipped zipper. The yellow Leeds City jersey inside...
He was shaking his fist and roaring among a group of Catalan United fans holding their heads in pain and confusion.
Just looking at his actions will make people feel that he is no different from those angry Catalan United fans, not outstanding, but if you look closely at his expression... he is completely different from the angry and disappointed Catalan United fans around him, he is smiling!
He Feng recognized this person almost at a glance. He was very happy because of Hu Lai's hat trick and simply laughed out loud: "Good guy, it's you again!"
Yes, it was the same Chinese fan who wore a Catalan United jersey to celebrate Zhang Qinghuan's goal in the Barcelona derby three days ago!
Not only He Feng, but countless fans across the country laughed at this moment, and the air of joy almost filled the entire China...

hat trick!
Luo Kai in front of the TV clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably.
The violent rise and fall of his chest clearly revealed his emotions at this moment.
The emotions of envy, jealousy, and unwillingness were mixed together, as if they were a sour and spicy cocktail that he had just swallowed.
He knew that at this moment many people must be congratulating Hu Lai and congratulating Hu Lai.
But he can't do this, he can't even pretend.
He couldn't be sincerely happy for Hu Lai's achievements.
He just felt...uneasy.
hat trick!
"Good thing!"
With this cheer, Li Qingqing threw the doll he was holding into the sky.
After catching it, she buried her face in the doll, rubbed it vigorously, then lifted the doll, looked up at it and smiled:
"That's great! That's great! A hat-trick in the Champions League! That's amazing! You did what I didn't even do, Hu Lai!"
