Chapter 1142: Character collapse?
"Hu Lai——Oh! What a pity!!"
When the football grazed the toe of his shoe, Hu Lai, who had just completed the shovel shot, hammered the turf next to him hard.
The ground ball that Kamara sent him just now was fast and flat, completely penetrating Ferenc's defense.
But Hu Lai was a little late and could only watch the football slide past.
Albertazzi spread his hands and raised them slightly, making a gesture to let the football out of the baseline and not touch the ball.
Football has indeed gone beyond the baseline.
Because it was Kamara who kicked the football out, the ball counts as Ferenc's goal kick.
It seemed that Albertazzi calmly gave up the football to the bottom line and was absolutely sure of the ball.
But deep inside, the heart in Albertazzi's chest was beating at a rate of more than 170 times per minute.
Underneath his expressionless face were clenched teeth - he was afraid that if he let go, his heart would jump out of there...
The sudden burst of Hu Lai just now really scared him, and his heartbeat skyrocketed.
Until now, the heartbeat has not dropped back.
He turned to look at Hu Lai, who was getting up from the ground, looking very annoyed, and even kicked the empty turf as if there was a football there...
This man... still wants to score goals!
Does he want to score a hat trick on me? !
Albertazzi thought with some horror.
※※※
Seeing Hu Lai's annoyed look after missing the opportunity, Shen Lang praised him greatly: "Hu Lai, who has already scored twice, has not let go of any chance to score... I think this is why he was able to score goals last season. An important reason for becoming the Premier League Golden Boot and the World Cup Golden Boot - he always has a childlike thirst for goals. Hope. He tries his best to face every chance to score, and he will hate every chance he misses... And not only Hu Lai, the entire Leeds City team has not given up and continues to attack. It seems that we went together with Hu Lai, and they are constantly supporting Hu Lai..."
It stands to reason that after already leading by two goals, Leeds City should win this game. As long as we play steadily and don't get into trouble, the game will no longer be suspenseful.
Judging from the adjustment of Clark replacing Junpei Morikawa and replacing Pete Williams, it should also be meant to allow the team to hold on securely.
Unexpectedly, Leeds City's offensive is still unabated.
Even...because of the protection of Junpei Morikawa in the midfield, their offense became more unscrupulous than when they were leading by one goal.
"I gave them no such instructions."
On the sidelines, head coach Tony Clark shook his head at assistant coach Sam Landill who looked at him.
Although the other party didn't speak at all, he knew what Sam was going to ask.
"So they saw Hu's thoughts?" Randhir asked.
"Yeah. That should be it." Clark nodded.
"Oh...it's so good..." Randhir said with emotion.
"We found these young people one by one." When Clark said this, there was pride in his tone.
As onlookers said, there is no need for Leeds City, who are leading by two goals, to continue to fight Ferenc. Slow down the pace, relax a little, and pass the remaining twenty minutes of the game. They are The top four teams in the Europa League.
Clark replaced Junpei Morikawa in the hope that the team could slow down the pace.
But Hulay did not slow down. He seemed to be still competing with Albertazzi. He worked very hard every time he attacked.
It's normal to fight like this once or twice, and to fight like this every time. How could other Leeds City players not see it?
Especially Kamala.
He soon knew what Hulay was going to do - he wanted to score another goal and complete a hat trick!
This motive is not difficult to guess, nor is it surprising. After all, before this game, the Italian media and fans ridiculed and ridiculed Hulay a lot.
To say that Hu Lai wasn't holding back any energy... Kamala herself didn't believe it.
So Hu Lai must be hoping to use a hat trick to completely conquer that lonely "iceberg".
Yes, that must be the case!
Kamala is confident in the results of her reasoning.
Of course, Hulay always maintains a desire to score goals, but wouldn't it be better if he could score more goals from Albertazzi?
Since this is what Hu Lai wants to do, Kamala must help him.
After Kamara became more energetic, Hu Lai became even more energetic.
Hu Lai was even more energetic, and the other Leeds City players on the field also came to their senses - Hu Lai still wanted to score!
What to do?
Help him!
So just like that, Leeds City, which supposedly should have died down, suddenly picked up the pace again and launched a fierce attack on Ferenc's goal.
"Well, let Lasky come back and get ready to play." Seeing that the whole team was helping Hu Lai, Clark of course decided to go with the flow and replace Lasky to continue to strengthen the offense.

Albertazzi gritted his teeth and got up from the ground - he had just saved Hulay's shot, but failed to hold it. It’s not his fault. In that situation, he was already very good at saving the football. He still wanted to hold it? That's really hard to do.
But precisely because he did not control the football, Leeds City still had an opportunity to attack, and he had to make a second reaction as soon as possible.
He struggled to get up from the ground, and before he could fully stand up, he threw himself out again.
The scope of such a hasty second save must be limited, but Albertazzi no longer cares about that much.
Fortunately, Lasky, who followed up with a follow-up shot, did not kick the football within the goal frame.
The crisis is over!
He may have been disturbed by the impact of Albertazzi's second save, so Albertazzi's save still worked.
Never give up at any time, because maybe it will really work this time?
However, after completing the interference this time, Albertazzi did not stand up from the ground with an indifferent expression. Instead, he jumped up from the ground like a spring, then clapped his gloves hard, making a dull sound, and loudly reminded his teammates: "Buck up again! Don't always let them get opportunities so easily!" ! Concentrate! You shouldn’t have given them the chance to shoot!”
His behavior surprised his teammates - "Iceberg" got angry? !
Seeing that his teammates were still in a daze, Albertazzi directly pushed Jacob Dvořák, the nearest center back, to signal him to return to his position.
The Italian commentator was so excited that he was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was cold for several seconds before speaking: "Well... Albertazzi is a little anxious, which is very rare... I think he is under tremendous pressure now..."
This is complete nonsense. He didn't need to say it, everyone could see it.
But what can you say otherwise?
Could it be that "the 'Iceberg' Alberta has collapsed"?
※※※
In front of the TV, Danny Drew turned to look at Chen Xingyi and said in an unbelievable tone: "I have played against Albertazzi before, and I have never seen him look so angry... He is a little bit nervous now. It’s not like an ‘iceberg’, but more like a ‘volcano’ that is erupting violently!”
Chen Xingyi was not surprised at all: "I told you, Danny. On the court, if you meet Hu Lai, the best way to defend is to wear earplugs. You thought I was joking at the time, but You also saw today's game. Hulay went to talk to Albertazzi twice, and then Albertazzi did this..."
He pointed at the television screen.
Drew remembered this. It was at the beginning of this season. He had just become close to Chen Xingyi because of an injury in training, so he ran to Chen Xingyi to find out about Hu Lai. After all, he was determined to get The person who won the Best Young Player Award in Europe will also be his opponent in the future.
It's normal for him to want to know more.
In the end, Chen Xingyi almost killed him.
What does "playing with earplugs on" mean? Who can play football with earplugs on?
Players always need to shout when playing on the court to remind each other of their positions and surrounding situations. It's just that because the fans are so numerous and vocal, the shouts of the players on the field are drowned in the voices of the fans, making it difficult for the fans to hear it through television broadcasts.
But if you look for an empty game and watch it, you will find that those professional players are actually playing in the game. In fact, they are no different from amateur players in some aspects.
For example, they will keep shouting on the court:
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"Here! Pass the ball! Pass the ball!"
"Leak!"
"Behind me!!"
"Force him, force him, force him, force him!!"
It was precisely because of the need for this kind of verbal communication that Drew felt that Chen Xingyi was joking with him and did not take it seriously.
As a result, after watching this game now, he began to want to believe Chen Xingyi's words...
He did see Hulay chatting with Albertazzi during the game, because Hulay didn't cover his mouth to cover it, he just spoke so directly, his lips were moving, and everyone could tell that he was talking.
Drew frowned and began to seriously think about how to deal with this situation when he encounters Hu Lai in the future.
It is absolutely impossible to wear earplugs, not for the rest of your life.
So it seems that there is only one way left... and that is to ignore it.
No matter what he says, don't pay attention.
But Drew believes that his character has not yet reached the level of an "iceberg". Since even "Iceberg" Albertazzi cannot avoid being affected, how can he be able to do so?
He might even take the initiative to chat with Hu Lai...
"Did you have lunch, brother?"
"Have you eaten? What did you eat?"
"Hey, what good food can you, the English team, have? Or our Dutch team..."
Drew felt bitter when he thought of such a scene.
He was originally looking forward to meeting this shooter who was known as "cunning as a fox" during the game, but now he was a little afraid and didn't want to meet him in the game.
It was really because of the confrontation with Hu Lai that it was a bit over the top...(End of Chapter)
