Chapter 1224 La Liga debut
Sevilla Navigator ultimately failed to score another goal before the end of the first half and took the lead.
The two sides tied at 1:1 at halftime.
Hu Lai, who had warmed up in advance, ran from the warm-up area to the player tunnel with his teammates after the half-time whistle.
The live broadcast also gave him a special shot.
The shot shows his back running into the tunnel.
The director uses this lens language to tell everyone who knows a little bit about penalty kicks:
Madrid Pirates will complete the substitutions at halftime, and Hulay will be replaced.
As for who will be replaced, it's hard to say.
He Feng and Yan Kang made guesses while analyzing the first and second half of the game in the studio.
They believe that head coach Parotti may replace Maxi Carey with Hulay.
Although Carey scored a goal in the first half, he was completely restricted by Sevilla Navigator after scoring, and he never performed well again. After all, after he returns from injury, he will still care about the injured area.
After being targeted by navigators, no matter how good the technology is, there is no use for it.
Staying on the court is of little use.
※※※
Maxi Carey thinks so himself.
When he saw Hu Lai follow him into the locker room, he realized that he might be replaced at halftime.
After all, he really had no other better performance except the goal in the first half.
But when he thought that he was going to be replaced by Hu Lai, the Dutch superstar still felt a little unhappy and unwilling.
However, in front of Hu Lai, he did not show this emotion, but seemed very indifferent.
He still looked calm and calm, like he had never seen anything before.
As he expected, Parotti made personnel adjustments during the halftime break and replaced Carey with Hu Lai.
When he replaced Kyrie, he specifically praised Kyrie's performance in the first half and kept silent about the fact that he was frozen by the opponent after scoring.
I want to maintain Kaili's self-esteem in this way.
Kyrie looked indifferent from beginning to end. He did not express dissatisfaction with being replaced, nor was he happy with the head coach's praise and maintenance.
After Parotti saw that Carey had no objection, he quickly changed the topic to adjustments for the second half.
Because Hu Lai plays, the team's offensive tactics will definitely be adjusted from the first half.
After all, Hu Lai's characteristics are not the same as Maxi Carey.
Maxi Carey could have had more of the ball in the first half.
Judging from Hu Lai's current proficiency in cooperating with the team, don't expect him to be deeply involved in the team's passing and control system.
Although Parotti hopes Hu Lai can do that, that is only a long-term goal after all.
In the current game, the team is in trouble, and it would be too rigid to stick to that routine.
Of course, how can one score a goal at a time like this?
So Parotti decided to let Hulay do what he does best in the way he does best - score points.
He said to Hulay: "You play like you did in Leeds City, without changing anything. You played against Sevilla Navigators in the Europa League final, so you should know very well what their defense is like. Just kick as you like!”
Hu Lai nodded to express his understanding.
At the same time, he was in the system space, using the [Lingxi Card] that he had exchanged for 300,000 points on his teammates one by one.
Whether he is grabbing points or integrating into the team's system, his tacit understanding with his teammates is indispensable.
Fortunately he survived.
Thank you System Dad!
Hu Lai thought silently in his heart.

When Hulay followed his teammates out of the locker room and walked to the court, teammate Joaquin Vela came over and said to him: "There are some differences between La Liga and the Premier League, but I don't think the difference is big. Don't worry. , you’ll get used to it soon.”
He was telling Hu Lai, who was playing in La Liga for the first time.
Hu Lai smiled and nodded at the friendly Bella: "Don't worry, Joaquin. I'm not in a hurry."
"Well, it's important to be patient. After all, this is your first La Liga game. Although Mr. Parotti brought you on at this time, he has high hopes for you. But I still want to say, relax and don't try. Putting the whole team on one’s shoulders.”
Bella is such a kind person, Hu Lai replied to him seriously: "No, Joaquin. I won't be so reckless."
Bella didn't say anything more, just nodded.
They walked out of the passage together.
"Hu Lai is finally going to be substituted!"
He Feng and Yan Kang, who saw this scene in the studio behind, said excitedly.
"Viewers! Julay is about to play his first La Liga game in his career! After writing his legend in the Premier League, Julay comes to Spain. Today, he will take the first step to create history in Spain ! ”
These words made Xie Lan tremble in front of the TV.
"Come on, son!"
She cheered for her son across tens of thousands of kilometers of time and space.

"Parotti couldn't wait to replace Hu at halftime, and Carey, who scored for the Pirates in the first half, was replaced." La Liga commentator Alvarez Sanchez watched the TV broadcast. The screen said that he did not go to the scene for this game, but provided commentary through broadcast signals from behind.
"This is Hu's first La Liga game. It's curious what kind of performance he can perform in a completely unfamiliar league..."
Before he finished speaking, a huge and harsh boo sounded from the stands of the Windsurfing Stadium.
There is no doubt that these boos are for Hu Lai.
So Sanchez laughed: "Aha! Welcome to La Liga, Hu! This is the warmest 'welcome' to you from the Navigators fans!"
Of course he knew it wasn't a "welcome."
Navigators fans hate Hu Lai so much, how can they welcome him?
The grudge between Navigators and Hulay is not just as simple as losing to Leeds City in the Europa League final.
Also because many Navigators fans feel that they are not respected by Hu Lai.
Because Hu Lai provoked the Navigators fans in an interview after the game, saying that he was able to sprint quickly at the last moment of the game because he got good luck by touching the trophy before the game...
Isn't this a naked attack on the Voyager fans?
Because after Hu Lai touched the trophy before the game, the happiest fans were the Navigators, who thought that Leeds City was destined to lose.
Others call Hulay a "team star" who helped the Navigators win the Europa League.
As a result, after Leeds City won the championship, what Hu Lai said was no different from "whipping the corpse" in the eyes of the Navigators fans.
They were already unhappy about losing the Europa League title, but now they are even more unhappy when Hu Lai says this.
"Every match between the Navigators and the Pirates will be very intense, especially the away game against the Navigators. So what kind of report card can Hu give us?"
Sanchez said this with anticipation.
Maxi Carey, who was already sitting on the bench, looked at the court and seemed to want to see what answer Hulay could give.

Players from both sides returned to the court and stood in their respective positions after switching places.
The referee blows the whistle to start the second half.
The ball was passed back into the backcourt by Sevilla Navigator forward Rafael Hergues in the center circle.
Hu Lai, who was standing just outside the center circle, took the lead and chased after the football.
The second half of the game begins!
Sevilla Navigator, who failed to overtake the score in the first half, continued to launch a fierce attack on the Madrid Pirates goal, hoping to score at the beginning of the second half.
They have the home advantage and there is no need to slowly deal with the Madrid Pirates at this time.
If you can attack, don't stop.
So Hulay had to run back quickly after he ran up, because the Sevilla Navigator played the offense up, and he also had to go back to participate in the defense.
With the opportunity to serve, the Navigators formed a crossing opportunity.
However, their cross was intercepted by Pirates goalkeeper Jonathan Highwell.
The best goalkeeper in the World Cup between the United States and Canada is 1.97 meters tall and has a wingspan of more than two meters. His physical condition is very outstanding. He has played for the Pirates for four seasons and is the team's unbeatable and absolute main force.
With his height and wingspan, it is not difficult to attack such a high and floating cross.
After intercepting the ball, he looked around and wanted to quickly launch a counterattack.
But the players of Sevilla Navigator have quickly retreated, like an ebbing tide, retreating very quickly.
So Hewel changed his mind about launching an attack by throwing the ball, and instead waited for his teammates to gradually get in position.
Then he threw the football in his hand to the ground and passed it with his foot to the full-back Ion Martinez who was pulling over.
Pass and control, coach Parotti asked them to try to use passes to advance the offense into the frontcourt, instead of just kicking the ball forward.
Especially when the opponent shrinks their defense and does not press forward.
There are forty-five minutes left in the game.
The Madrid Pirates, who are playing away from home, have no reason to be anxious. They can just deal with the Navigators slowly.
If the Sevilla navigator reveals a flaw in his hurry, the pirates will catch it. If they also play steadily, the Pirates won't be in a hurry.
It’s true that the two teams are mortal enemies.
But this does not mean that the whole game has to be straightforward and head-on.
Parotti stood on the sidelines, hands in his pockets, watching the field quietly.
He seemed calm.
He wasn't pretending.
But it’s really peace of mind that comes from within.
Because he now owns Hu Lai.
That top killer who is extremely efficient.
But the navigator, who had just suffered a loss at Hu Lai's feet, should be nervous about Hu Lai's appearance.
Look at it now, the Pirates' offense has not yet advanced, and Hulay is already standing next to Navigator's center back Arthur. (End of chapter)
