Chapter 1097 Shi Yifeng
"... Just today, Alvara Football Club officially announced that Ricardo Moya will no longer serve as the team's head coach from now on. The club thanks him for his contribution to the team and wishes him all the best... ...Although the club has not admitted it, everyone believes that the main reason why the club decided to break up with Moya was the team's defeat in the Europa League..."
"Although Alvara, coached by Moya, did not perform very well in the league, the Europa League became the last straw for Moya. But it is a pity that he did not seize it... 1:3 at home, away Losing to Leeds City 0:3 and being eliminated with a total score of 1:6, Alvara only has the possibility of competing for the league championship this season, and the league's championship situation is not optimistic... This is not good for the wealthy Alvara. For Walla, this is naturally unacceptable..."
"The dismissal of Ricardo Moya may mean that for Chinese player Xia Xiaoyu, his career in Alvara will turn around..."
Xia Xiaoyu had just finished reading the news when he saw Hu Lai forwarding the news to the group and circling Xia Xiaoyu: "How is it, Xiaoyu? I will keep my word, right? Fortunately, I will live up to my promise! I am worthy of your request." That meal!”
"I'll go, get out of class is over so soon..." Chen Xingyi quickly jumped in to answer.
"I just said that the Europa League is their goal. Now that goal is gone, if Alvara Club doesn't do something, it would be really stupid!" Hulay was very proud that everything was going as he expected. developing. "At the very least, they have to ensure that they qualify for the Europa League next season, otherwise their work will be in vain? If Moya is not fired as soon as possible, they might not even be able to qualify for the Europa League next season. …”
Everyone in the group looked at what Hu Lai said on their mobile phones and all agreed.
As a Portuguese giant, it would be embarrassing if Alvara could not even qualify for the Europa League next season and completely miss the European war.
Xia Xiaoyu was changing clothes in the locker room when he saw Valente walking in from outside carrying a bag. After coming to Xia Xiaoyu, he sat down and lowered his voice and said to him: "Oh my God...Xia, have you heard about this? Moya Fired!”
"I just heard, Ruao." Xia Xiaoyu put away his phone and nodded to Valente.
"I don't know if this will be good news..." Valente continued to lower his voice, after all, they were discussing "treason".
Even if Moya has been confirmed to be dismissed from get out of class, there is no guarantee that there will be his supporters in the team...
"You have a chance, Xia!"
Xia Xiaoyu shook his head: "I won't think about it now, Joao. I will train and compete here. If the team thinks that I meet the conditions for joining the first team, they will definitely notify me. If they don't find me, That means I don’t meet the requirements yet. No matter what the situation is, I have to train.”
Valente muttered: "You have such a good attitude!"
Xia Xiaoyu smiled.
If you have a bad attitude, you're doomed.
From seniors such as Brother Hu and Brother Huan who studied abroad, the most he learned was to maintain a good attitude.
No matter what happens, just focus on football.
He firmly believes that as long as he does his job well, the goddess of luck will always favor him.
Peace is Xia Xiaoyu's path.

After all the Europa League quarter-finals have ended, the opponents Leeds City will face in the quarter-finals have also been released.
Real Catalon from La Liga.
The first leg of the quarter-finals will not kick off until March 12, with Leeds City playing home and then away.
Before that, they have to play three consecutive league games within two weeks.
February 27th, Saturday, the 27th round of the league. Leeds City, which had a personnel rotation and rest, lost 1:2 away to London Mars, currently ranked fourth in the league.
March 3, Wednesday, the 28th round of the league. Leeds City hosts London Bridge.
What is different from before is that before this game, the media and fans in China and South Korea did not hype the "Asian Derby".
Because Park Suntae was injured before this game, he was definitely unable to participate in this game.
So Hu Lai and him couldn't touch each other at all.
Since you can't even touch it, why bother speculating?
Besides, after Hu Lai won the league championship and the Golden Boot in the Premier League, China and South Korea have changed their positions in the competition for the "Light of Asia".
Korean media and fans basically no longer mention the keyword "Light of Asia" because now when "Light of Asia" is mentioned, everyone will naturally associate Hu Lai with this honorary title. They also Promoting "Light of Asia" is tantamount to promoting Hu Lai.
They also know that it is simply humiliating themselves to go to Chinese fans and media to talk about the word premise now.
Park Soon-tae is of course very good, and his achievements are also very high. He also won the Europa League as a main player. This is something Hu Lai has not yet done.
But the league golden boots and league championships are also things that Park Soon-tae does not have.
It should be said that both of them are the pride of Asian football and both are players representing Asia in Europe. But for various reasons, some people want to compete with the two of them.
If we must fight, today's Hu Lai has completely defeated Park Suntae except for the European war honors.
The Koreans have no intention of comparison, and the Chinese also feel that with Hu Lai's current achievements, it is really a bit low to compete with Park Soon Tae - Hu Lai's current goal should be the entire Europe, not just Park Soon Tae. Besides, Park Suntae's career is indeed declining as he gets older. Letting Hu Lai compete with a declining Park Soon Tae, I don't know whether it insulted Park Soon Tae or Hu Lai...
Now that there is no such tension between the two sides, it doesn't matter whether Park Soon-tae is present or not in this game.
In the end, after ninety minutes of fierce battle, Leeds City shook hands with London Bridge 1:1 at home.
After this game, there are still ten rounds left in the league.
Leeds City are currently in tenth place with 40 points.
Everyone can see that Leeds City has been "returned to its original shape" this season. Definitely don't count on the defending league champion, and it will be difficult to even qualify for the European competition next season.
This is where Leeds City should be - with no hope of winning the title and no worries about relegation.
In fact, as a small team that was still fighting for relegation last season, it is already a very remarkable achievement to be able to stabilize in the middle of the league.
If Leeds City can stay in the league between eighth and twelfth every season in the future, it will be a great success. When they can stabilize in this range, they can try to qualify for the European competition.
And when that time comes, the European qualifications they have obtained will be the reflection of their true strength.
There will be no roller coaster ride - suddenly reaching the top and then suddenly falling back into the mire.
Perhaps they feel that Leeds City's current performance and ranking are within the normal range, so when Leeds City lost two consecutive rounds, there was not much criticism against them in the media.
After all, they are also participating in the Europa League at the same time.
Being able to remain in the top ten in the league despite the impact of the European war is good enough.
Those who perform poorly should now be struggling in the relegation zone.

In the twenty-ninth round of the league, Leeds City challenged newly promoted Helmer in an away game.
Although there is a Europa League match next week, Clark did not make a large-scale rotation in the league this time.
Because next week's Europa League is on Friday, and this league round is on Saturday, there is almost a week in between. There is no need to rotate a lot in order to conserve energy.
Instead, consider allowing the main players to maintain their condition through games.
So facing Helmer, who is currently ranked third from the bottom, Leeds City sent out a full lineup.
Helmer is so weak that even in an away game, Leeds City won easily.
Hulay and Kamara both scored twice in the game, helping Leeds City defeat Helmer 4:1.
With two goals, Hulay has scored fifteen goals in the league this season.
This is seven fewer goals than he scored in the same period last season.
So before this, some people criticized Hu Lai's performance this season is not good enough, which is far worse than last season.
This data now seems to support this view.
However, considering that Leeds City is fighting on multiple fronts this season, Hu Lai also missed eight rounds of the league because of participating in the Asian Cup.
After all, Hulay only had to participate in the Premier League last season, he didn't even play in the League Cup and FA Cup.
This season, he not only participated in the league, but also distracted himself from playing in the Champions League and Europa League. In addition, he played eight fewer league rounds compared to last season. Under such circumstances, he scored a total of 23 goals in these three competitions - 15 goals in the league, five goals in the Champions League, and three goals in the Europa League - one more than the same period last season.
He also has four assists in the league - more assists than all of last season.
The data doesn't lie. This data fully proves that his performance has not declined, but has gotten better.
He can score goals in all competitions and is the team's top scorer in these three competitions, which fully demonstrates that Hulay has become more comprehensive and has a stronger ability to adapt to different competitions.
Some strikers thrive in the league, but perform sluggishly in European competitions. Some players are just the opposite. They were in hot form in the European war, but then died down when they returned to the league. They seemed to be recharging their energy for the European war.
Hu Lai does not have such a situation. He can maintain stable output in events with different characteristics and requirements.
This is exactly what a super forward should have. After all, a super forward needs to score a lot of goals every season, but if he can only score goals in certain specific events, it will be difficult to achieve a considerable number of goals every season.
Hu Lai already has the prototype of becoming a super forward.
How many consecutive seasons have he scored more than one goal? This is an important indicator to measure whether a forward is a top player. After all, whether a player is a top player or not is not only tested in a certain season, but also in the continuous and stable performance in his career. .
The number of goals scored per season is the only criterion for whether a forward is stable.
If a player can score more than 30 goals for ten consecutive seasons, he will definitely be the world's top forward.
On the contrary, if a player scored thirty-five goals last season, the next season the number of goals dropped to a dozen, and the next season he scored more than twenty goals, and then dropped to a dozen goals again... Judging from the number of goals scored, although it is also very good, it is not the best.
There are many factors that affect the number of goals scored: personal ability; state stability; the luck of not being seriously injured or missing too many games for many consecutive years.
All of these must be indispensable to achieve such a remarkable achievement and become the number one forward in the world... It's so stringent.
Hulay is now only seven goals away from scoring more than 30 goals for two consecutive seasons. There are still nine rounds of the league and the Europa League has not yet been eliminated. It is entirely possible for him to achieve this achievement.
Only when he scores more than 30 goals in two consecutive seasons will he be qualified to climb the peak called "World's First Forward". As for whether he can successfully reach the top in the end, it depends on his future career. performance in his career. (End of chapter)
