Chapter 1133 The mountain is high and the peak is man-made
"Albertazzi is such a monster..."
In the restaurant of the Amsterdam Athletic Training Base, Danny Drew sighed to Chen Xingyi sitting opposite him while looking at his mobile phone.
"Isn't the Europa League issue going away yet?" Chen Xingyi asked.
Ever since Albertazzi made an astonishing 18 saves against Leeds City in the Europa League, European football has been talking about it all weekend.
Albertazzi did not become famous in one battle, because he had already become famous.
Everyone knows that he is a young genius, the most likely to succeed Andrew Burnie in Italy. But even so, everyone was still surprised by his performance in that game.
Because Albertazzi's performance has gone beyond the category of "genius player".
Even among the top goalkeepers, no one can set such a record.
But for the Chinese, the last week when Albertazzi shined was a sad week.
First in the league, Wang Guangwei became Albertazzi's stepping stone at the last moment, and then in the Europa League, it was Hulay's turn to be Albertazzi's foil.
In this crazy week for Albertazzi, all the victims are Chinese players.
So not to mention Leeds City fans are unhappy, Chinese fans are also unhappy.
Chen Xingyi, who is also a player in Europe, will naturally be a little unhappy - even though he often mocks Hu Lai in the group, if he encounters a foreign enemy, he will still be consistent with the outside world. These overseas players are a whole, they all prosper and suffer.
"No, Albertazzi had another clean sheet in the league this weekend, and the opponent was the Turin Bulls, where he will go next season. Caesar took nine shots in a single game and failed to score... Just relying on Albertazzi's With a clean sheet, Ferenc actually won! Some Turin Bulls fans joked that if they had known, when the Turin Bulls signed with Ferenc, they should have signed an avoidance clause for Albertazzi..."
Chen Xingyi knew why Drew said that just now.
It is not unusual to keep clean sheets in three consecutive games. Even Albertazzi himself has kept clean sheets in more than three consecutive games.
But at this time, these three consecutive clean sheets are very telling - it shows that Albertazzi's recent state is very, very good.
This is not good news for Hulay and Leeds City.
No one can guarantee that they will always be in excellent condition, not even Albertazzi.
But he doesn't have to be great all the time, he just needs to be in shape during these two weeks.
He can eliminate Leeds City with his excellent form.
As for whether Ferenc can go further in the Europa League after knocking out Leeds City...does anyone care?
Seeing Chen Xingyi's expression not looking good, Danny Drew patted him on the shoulder: "Leeds City is so unlucky. Cups like the Europa League are indeed more suitable for Ferenc and Albertazzi. If they hadn’t run into Ferenc, I really expected them to reach the finals..."
Chen Xingyi seemed to have something to say, but in the end he didn't say it and just shook his head slightly.
※※※
"...I'm very happy to be able to use my own strength to help Ferenc win the game... Leeds City? I won't talk about the opponent until the game is over. All I have to do is go all out, no matter who the opponent is... …”
The tall Albertazzi stood in front of the camera, facing the microphone in the reporter's hand, bending slightly and lowering his head to speak.
He was being interviewed by reporters after the game against the Turin Bulls. Because he kept clean sheets in three consecutive games, especially after setting a record in the last Europa League game, he became the focus of the media.
"Record? Records are in the past tense, I will look forward to it. Thank you."
After simply answering the reporters' questions, he walked towards the locker room.
The Italian TV reporter who was interviewing him turned around and said to the camera: "It can be seen that Albertazzi is very calm now. He has not got carried away because of his recent excellent form. This is good news, because we They were all worried that he would get carried away after consecutive clean sheets... But now, this is what a player who is not yet twenty years old said. It is not surprising that this happened to Albertazzi..."
"Hu Lai, what is he talking about?" Morikawa Junpei turned to look at Hu Lai and asked.
Hu Lai picked up the remote control, muted the TV, and explained to Junpei Morikawa: "To put it simply... it means that we can't beat Ferenc in the next game."
Junpei Morikawa frowned when he heard this: "Arrogant! As if they have already won!"
"Don't pay too much attention to what the media reporters say, Morikawa. They are professionals who stir up trouble. If they were objective and peaceful, they wouldn't make any money." Hu Lai waved his hand.
"Not just the media...there are too many idiots on the Internet!"
After the first round match between Leeds City and Ferenc, Junpei Morikawa naturally learned about the behavior of the Italian media and fans on the Internet.
In fact, do we have to say that the Italian media and fans have any prejudice against Julay?
Not really.
In the past, the two sides had no intersection at all, and there was no grudge.
In fact, Hulay can be regarded as lying on his back to a certain extent - because the Italian fans and media were unhappy with the English media and fans, and they vented their anger on Hulay.
They pranked Leeds City, so as Leeds City's top scorer, how could Hulay be absent?
In fact, Italian fans not only made a video of Hulay being "taught a man" by Albertazzi, but also made a video highlight of Albertazzi's game against the entire Leeds City, including all of his eighteen saves, and also took a lot of money. The domineering name "One person vs. one team".
It's just that Hu Lai is famous, so he attracts more attention.
Besides, forwards and goalkeepers have always been sworn enemies, and the battle between these two is certainly the most eye-catching.
But Junpei Morikawa will still be unhappy.
Fight the injustice for Hu Lai.
He felt that Hulay did not get the respect he deserved.
Of course Hu Lai knew what Morikawa Junpei was thinking. He patted the other party on the head: "Don't worry about me."
Then he patted his heart again and signaled to Junpei Morikawa: "Big heart, big man!"
Junpei Morikawa was a little disappointed: "I'm sorry I can't help you..."
He is a full-time defensive midfielder, and he really played no role in the game against Ferenc - in the first round of the match between the two sides, Morikawa Junpei started the game, and then was replaced just after the first half.
Because Clark found that there was no need for midfield defense at all, Ferenc's offense could not threaten Leeds City's goal. Keeping Junpei Morikawa on the court is a waste of a position.
So he was taken off and replaced by Jack Walsh.
Later, Clark replaced Charlie Porter and Lorenzo...all offensive choices.
It turned out to be of little use.
It just couldn't get past Albertazzi's goal.
Hu Lai rubbed Morikawa Junpei's hair: "Don't worry, Morikawa. There is no goalkeeper in this world who will never concede the ball. No matter how high the mountain is, there are still people who can climb it."
Morikawa Junpei nodded and said nothing.
He knew in his heart that Hu Lai was saying "don't worry" and "don't worry", as if he was "under control". But in fact, he must also be nervous and under a lot of pressure.
How can you see it?
Because when Hu Lai comforted him just now, he was consoling him very seriously...
In order not to add any more pressure to Hu Lai, Morikawa Junpei chose to pretend to believe Hu Lai's words.

Louis Francis took out his mobile phone and booked himself a ticket to Leeds, England, for next Sunday.
He then sent an email to Leeds City's communications department.
Tell the other party that he hopes to go to watch the game between Leeds City and Tramed.
Generally speaking, as a football star and legend, if Francis wants to watch any team's game live, the other team will not refuse, even if it is Madrid Pirates and Catalonia United, the mortal enemies of the King of Madrid.
For Leeds City, it's even an honor.
So if nothing else happens, maybe tomorrow at the latest, Francis will get a reply and permission from the Leeds City Club.
Then he was able to go to Leeds City in a private capacity to watch their game against Tramed, and then went to the dressing room after the game to greet the Leeds City players and chat with Leeds City head coach Tony Clark. sentence, complimenting his great achievements in leading the team to win the Premier League championship last season.
Finally, of course, meeting Hulay, praising his performance and regretting that he was eliminated from the Europa League. Then he half-jokingly asked him if he would like to come to Madrid.
This matter is considered completed.
He didn't need Hu Lai to answer him on the spot, he only needed this sentence. When Leeds City had just been eliminated from the Europa League and missed the Champions League next season, this sentence was equivalent to knocking a root in Hu Lai's heart. prick.
Finally, at a certain point, a spiritual storm was triggered.
He would realize that only the King of Madrid could satisfy all his ambitions.
Francis didn’t wait until tomorrow, he quickly received a reply from Leeds City Club.
Leeds City Football Club is delighted and honored to receive a visit from the legendary Louis Francis. Not just next Sunday, but they welcome Francis to visit the Leeds City club at any time convenient to him.
In order to maintain contact and communication with Francis, they also left a special phone number. This is the contact information of the club's general manager Eric Duffy.
Francis smiled when he saw the email.
The mission is about to be completed.
