Chapter 1154 It’s rude to not reciprocate
"Hu——!!!"
Matthew Cox hissed, and Hu Lai on the court just entered the penalty area. He had already shaken off Birx, although his steps were unsteady...
There were loud boos in the stands at Southfield Stadium, and the London Bridge fans had already smelled the danger in advance.
Their boos seemed to turn into invisible resistance, completely stopping the staggering Hulay and buying some time for the attacking goalkeeper Bueno.
But that's just their fantasy.
In fact, Hu Lai finally stabilized his body, and Birx did not dare to hit too hard - he was afraid of fouling. A foul in this position is likely to result in a red card for him. In this case, he will not be able to play in the second round of the semi-finals. This will have a great impact on London Bridge's defense.
So he still deliberately controlled his power.
What surprised him was that the seemingly frail figure adjusted his center of gravity in just two steps this time, and took a shot before goalkeeper Bueno...
And the quality of the shot is so high!
After the collision, Birx raised his hands to show his innocence. I don't know when he stopped completely. He looked at the football rolling up the net behind the goal line, and then turned his attention to Hu Lai.
He was still a little staggered when he turned around after shooting, but this time he didn't try to maintain his balance. Instead, he let his center of gravity completely disappear and dived directly onto the turf, as if he perfectly connected the shooting and diving celebration movements. ……
Lasky was the first to run, and he also dived and landed in advance. He rushed to Hu Lai and hugged him with both hands.
Other Leeds City players came up to celebrate.
2:2!
Even without the advantageous away goal rule, this score was enough to make the Leeds City players ecstatic!
"Hu!! Lai!!! He helped Leeds City equalize the score! The tenacious Leeds City fell behind twice in a row and equalized twice in a row! I have to say... Leeds City in the Europa League and Leeds City in the League Totally two teams! ”
※※※
As the Leeds coaches and bench celebrated wildly, German coach Julian Stodt at London Bridge vented his emotions with an angry false kick.
He didn't listen to assistant coach Hu En's advice. He really didn't think there was anything wrong with his decision.
At that time, the situation at London Bridge was very good, completely suppressing Leeds City.
No head coach in his position would give up his troops just because of possible risks.
There is no such truth!
Yes, there is no such reason...
But is there any reason why the opponent can score a goal with just one counterattack?
Here Hu En just reminded him, and the opponent scored!
Is there such a truth?
Do you want it to be so fast? !
Stoddard is messy.
Before this season, he had been working in German football.
He doesn't know much about the Premier League, but he doesn't know anything about Hu Lai either.
But now he feels that he still has a lot to know about Hu Lai...

"Hu Lai! Well done! Hu Lai!! Opportunity-hahahahaha!!" Shen Lang laughed loudly when he saw the football flying into the goal. "Oh, that's right! Park Soon-tae has scored a goal, how can we not score one? It's rude to come and go without reciprocating! Our country, China, is a country of etiquette, and we must not be rude... Hahaha!"
Xie Lan in front of the TV was also laughing.
Feeling relieved.
Although his son said he didn't care about the competition between him and Park Soon-tae.
But that's what he said, and it doesn't represent his mother's attitude.
Xie Lan said she didn't care, but if the Koreans insisted on discussing the matter, she wouldn't be afraid.
We Chinese never stir up trouble, but we are not afraid of it either!
So although she didn't know what the attitude of Korean fans and media would be after Park Suntae scored, Hu Lai's goal was to nip it in the bud - now we also have a goal, let's see what those sticks said? !
What Xie Lan didn't know was that although the Korean fans were very excited after Park Suntae scored, they had not yet got carried away and pulled Hu Lai out as a target on the outside net.
Because after these two years of education, they already know that it is best to be more conservative when it comes to Hu Lai.
If you really want to use Hu Lai to set off Park Soon Tae, you have to wait until after the game is over to confirm that Hu Lai really didn't score.
Their conservatism and caution paid off, Hu Lai scored!
Even some Korean fans were disappointed after seeing Hu Lai's goal, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief deep down - feeling lucky that they did not set up a FLAG online.
Otherwise it would be embarrassing now.
※※※
Park Soon-tai saw Hu Lai running back to his half with his teammates. The opponent's face was still a little dirty and stained with grass clippings. It must have been from lying on the ground celebrating with his teammates just now.
But none of this matters.
What's important is that he has a bright smile on his young face.
In the past few years, Park Soon Tae has played against Hu Lai many times.
It can be said that he is the Chinese player he is most familiar with.
He is indeed a genius who can win the Premier League Golden Boot and the World Cup Golden Boot...
At this time, Park Suntae sighed secretly from the bottom of his heart.
But this also makes him more worried about the future of Korean football.
Because Korean football has not yet seen a young man who can compete with Hu Lai...
Japanese football has Tatsuya Sugiyama, but what does Korean football have?
Park Guixian, who was originally as famous as Tatsuya Sugiyama in the youth team, has been further and further behind after entering the adult team.
He can't even compare to Sugiyama Tatsuya, let alone Hu Lai.
Not just Hu Lai, but also those Chinese players who are playing in Europe. Maybe they haven't done as well as the Korean players who have studied abroad in Europe, but they are still young, as young as Hu Lai.
Just like the economy, when a country with a large population finally finds the right path, the advantages of their scale start to show. In the face of such a terrifying scale, what's impossible about the emergence of a few geniuses?
Park Suntae has never envied Chinese football, but at this moment, he was a little envious...
Park Suntae, who is about to turn 32 this year, has entered the late stage of his career, but he still has to persevere. If Korean football still needs him at the Iberian Peninsula World Cup three years later, he will do it at the age of 35. Don’t hesitate to stand up.
But when he thought that his thirty-four-year-old self would have to face a group of Chinese players who were ten years younger than him in the Asian qualifiers, Park Soon-tae couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Well done!"
In front of the Leeds City coaching bench, although the celebration had ended, the coaches were still very happy to see the players returning to their own half.
There was an uncontrollable smile on everyone's face.
Randhir walked up to Clark with a smile and asked: "Hu really did not disappoint us! Now the initiative is in our hands!"
The score of 2:2 allowed Leeds City to advance, attack, retreat or defend, much more calmly.
However, London Bridge was forced into a desperate situation - Hulay's goal was in the 69th minute, and after the celebration it was now 71 minutes.
Including injury time, there is about twenty-five minutes of game time left.
It is absolutely impossible for London Bridge to accept the result of being tied by Leeds City at home. If they cannot win at home, can they still expect to beat the same opponent away from home?
In the history of European competitions, there are not always good performances of failing to win at home in the first round and then coming back in the second round.
But as a coach, when considering problems, you should not base your thinking on things that have not happened in the future, but should strive to grasp the present.
Going to the away game for a comeback in the second round was a helpless move caused by not winning the first round, rather than a path set in advance.
So don't think about it, in the next game, London Bridge will definitely attack with all their strength and strive to defeat Leeds City at home.
Then for Leeds City, the situation becomes simple.
"Next we will defend and counterattack." Clark said simply. "Just like this ball."
Randhir nodded.
In fact, not only Hu Lai's goal, but Leeds City's two goals in this game were scored on counterattacks.
Leeds City, which has speed on the wing, does have the capital to play defensive counterattack.
It's just that most of the time, Clark's stereotype makes people think that the Leeds City team only attacks like crazy...

"Thomas, go get Barnes back, I want him to play!"
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Stodd gave an order to his assistant coach Hoon.
"Who?" Hu En asked smoothly.
"Hussman." Stoddard reported the name of defensive midfielder Marcus Hussman.
Hu En understood what he meant, nodded, turned around and ran towards the warm-up area.
Replacement of midfielder Marcus Hussmann with forward Scott Barnes, Stoddard is going to fight for his life.
But it's not a desperate struggle to completely lose one's mind.
Hoon knows Leeds City coach Tony Clark and knows that he is an offensive maniac and a madman.
There are many precedents for losing games due to being too aggressive. So maybe after taking the lead this time, Clark will ask the team to continue attacking as he did in the past?
If we fight against each other...London Bridge may not have a chance!
