Chapter 1273 The side that loses the ball first
The Madrid Pirates' corner kick did not threaten the King's goal.
The game continued as before, with fierce confrontations in every corner of the stadium. While the two teams tried their best to break into the opponent's goal, they also did not delay at all in finding the opponent's players to give physical "cordial greetings"... This is unique to Derby. scenery.
The first yellow card in the city derby appeared in the 17th minute.
King of Madrid's main center Vandenberg jumped towards Pirates center back Riva Moreno when he was competing for a header in the penalty area. At that time, Moreno was in the air with absolutely no help. He was hit hard by Vandenberg and lost his balance. Then he landed in a very weird posture and almost twisted his waist...
This foul immediately caused dissatisfaction among the Madrid Pirates players.
Goalkeeper Hewel rushed out of the goal and came up to trouble Vandenberg.
But he did not reach out to push directly. Instead, he spread his hands and ran to Vandenberg and shouted loudly: "You are killing people!"
Vandenberg responded unceremoniously: "This is just an ordinary fight for the top! He is too weak!"
From a physical point of view, Moreno is indeed not as strong as Vandenberg, but even a fool can see that he is trying to make excuses...
Other players from both sides quickly gathered around, each talking to each team.
The Madrid Pirates team doctor also ran up to check Moreno.
They don't dare to take it lightly. It's not unprecedented for a player to get injured right after the start of the Derby.
Fortunately, after inspection, Moreno was fine.
But this will not make Pirates players any less dissatisfied with Vandenberg.
While Moreno was lying aside for inspection, the players from both sides were already touching each other.
Hulay was among them, and this time Joaquín Vela did not stop him from the crowd.
He gave full play to his language talent and skillfully used the native languages of the Madrid players from various countries to communicate with them enthusiastically, building a bridge of communication between the two teams.
"... In our country, fans have had their legs broken for such actions. If he (Van den Berg) can still stand on the field, he should be content and stop trying to make excuses!"
"...Even in the Premier League, this kind of action is a flagrant foul. It's okay to give a red card. If you give a yellow card, just have fun! How dare you come out to protest?"
"...What? You said that Moreno was not injured? It is just his luck that he was not injured. It does not prove that Vandenberg did nothing wrong! I thought that the king is a wealthy family among the wealthy, what can you say... I didn't expect it. I was so disappointed that he said such vulgar words... Tsk tsk! ”
Hu Lai wandered in the crowd and faced off against the Kings players, which made the other side very depressed - when they wanted to find Hu Lai for further reasoning, the latter stepped forward and approached them, threatening:
"What are you doing? Do you want to take action? Let me tell you that there is a video referee team now. No action can escape this!"
As he spoke, he also pointed to the "Flying Cat" just above their heads - a camera pulled by an electric motor and two steel cables to take aerial photography above the stadium.
Of course they didn't want to attack Hu Lai, and they weren't that stupid. They didn't really lose their minds. Who would do it in public? That’s the end of applying for it on your own initiative!
But they didn't do it, but Hu Lai said it seemed like they were going to do it... It feels like a mosquito is buzzing in your ear, and when you can't do anything about it, you will naturally feel depressed...< br>
Melly did not go up to participate in the conflict between the players on both sides - he was not very good at arguing with others, and he could not help much if he went up.
He saw the very active Hu Lai outside the crowd and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his grinning mouth.
Did this guy... get into the derby atmosphere so quickly?
Looking at his performance, you couldn't tell that this was his first time participating in the Madrid Derby. Instead, he looked like a veteran and stole the limelight from many people in this conflict.
※※※
Huge boos continued from the stands at the Crown Stadium.
Especially the die-hard Madrid Kings fans in the North Stand. Because the Pirates' restricted area is under the North Stand, these fans were on a first-come-first-served basis and pointed at the Pirates players with their middle fingers, accompanied by swear words.
And their main target of curses is of course the one who dances happily... Hu Lai.
Originally, Hulay's rejection of the Madrid Kings made many Kings fans unhappy. Joining the Madrid Pirates gave them a reason to attack Hulay openly - because they are mortal enemies. In the current derby in the same city, Hu Lai is so out of touch in the conflict, which will naturally be regarded as an "active provocation" by Kings fans.
scold him!
When Han Shuyu held up his mobile phone to record the shooting, he complained in his heart:
How many special noise-cancelling effects should I add during post-editing?
I'm afraid that when this video is released, it will all be "beep beep beep beep beep"...
※※※
"Beep beep beep!"
The referee blew a quick whistle and ran in to separate the players from both sides, warning them to calm down.
Then a yellow card was shown to Vandenberg for the foul.
Vandenberg seemed a little dissatisfied with the penalty. He spread his hands and kept saying something to the referee, probably to defend himself.
But it's not so much self-defense as it is putting pressure on the referee.
"The referee finally remembered that he had taken the card today..." He Feng complained, "Vandenberg's foul was indeed very dangerous and almost caused Moreno to be injured... But this is the most intense and popular derby match in Spain. ——Madrid Derby!”
To the whole world, Spain's most famous derby is the "El Clasico" between Madrid Kings and Catalonia United. However, in terms of intensity, the El Clasico is actually inferior to the "Madrid Derby".
Only in the Madrid derby can you see two giant teams fighting each other like barbarians, rolling in the mire, making their gorgeous clothes dirty, looking hideous and without any grace at all. , not like a wealthy family at all.
Five minutes later, when Vandenberg turned around to protect the football in the center circle, he was kicked and pushed by Joaquin Vela, knocking him to the ground, which caused loud boos from the stands.
Joaquin Vela also received a yellow card.
After players from both teams received yellow cards, they seemed to be planning to play well again.
The Madrid Kings continued to threaten the Pirates' goal with their home advantage.
Haywell made a wonderful save to keep the goal.
The Pirates, who were playing away games, launched a defensive counterattack, retracting the defensive line position and using the speed of the two wings to counterattack.
The Kings of Madrid used pressing to suppress the Pirates' ball-taking and ball-playing space, gradually gaining an advantage in the situation.
Hu Lai didn't have many opportunities to perform during this period.
On the one hand, because he is followed closely by Peralta, and on the other hand, because the Pirates are generally on the defensive and have few offensive opportunities, Hulay naturally appears less often.
"...The focus of the game during this period is basically focused on the Madrid Pirates' half..." Han Shuyu turned his phone to the front lens to shoot, and started talking to himself to the camera while watching the ball. "Peralta kept a close eye on Hulay... Just now, Hulay had a chance, but Peralta pushed aside and didn't catch the ball. I used to like Peralta quite a bit. Yes, although his playing is controversial, he is cruel to the Kings' opponents after all. He is actually very cute in the team... But now it is a bit... well, it's hard to say because his opponent has been replaced by Hu. Lai. Compared with winning or losing the game, I am actually more worried that Hu Lai will be injured..."
Fortunately, she was surrounded by Spanish people and could not understand Chinese. Naturally, you don’t have to worry about your identity being discovered.
When she was recording with the front camera, the Madrid Kings fans behind her noticed Han Shuyu who was taking a selfie and made faces at the camera.
Clearly in a good mood.
During this period, the Madrid Kings were dominant, and the fans were certainly in a good mood.
Han Shuyu had to force a smile - after noticing the funny fan behind him, Han Shuyu quickly unfurled his frown and smiled. Avoid unnecessary misunderstandings because you are incompatible with the people around you.
※※※
When the Madrid Pirates launched a counterattack, Hulay did not go to the front alone, but chose to retreat to respond.
He seemed to be trying to take Peralta out of his defensive position.
But Peralta didn't follow this time, because the Pirates' attack on the wing had almost reached the thirty-meter area. If he follows out, the center will be empty.
Hu Lai ran out of the penalty area, which is equivalent to running out of his defense zone.
He handed Hulay to his defensive midfielder teammate Mohammed Osei.
This black midfielder meets all the characteristics of "black and hard". He has a strong body, excellent running ability, good heading and air defense capabilities, and is steady and accurate in stealing.
The only drawback may be that it is slightly slower.
Silverio passed the football to Hulay who retreated to receive the ball.
After Hulay caught the ball, he tried to pass the football crosswise to Joaquin Vela, who came in behind.
But before he could do so, he was kicked in the right heel by Osei.
He fell to the ground with a scream, covering the place where he was kicked with his hands.
The referee immediately blew the whistle, stopped the game, ruled that Osei had fouled, and gave the Pirates a free kick in the middle 34 meters away from the goal.
But no yellow card was shown to Osay...
Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground, gestured to the referee for a card with some dissatisfaction, but the latter ignored him.
"Hu Lai was kicked down again! That's why he threatened the goal with that header after the game started..." Han Shuyu said to the camera. "As someone who has scored nine goals in six consecutive league rounds, he encountered the top defensive treatment in this game!"
Behind him, the Madrid Kings fan who had been acting weird just now was booing. I don’t know whether he was dissatisfied with the referee for calling an Olympiad foul, or with Hulay’s action of asking for a card.
Han Shuyu did not dare to show any other emotions and tried to be calm when he spoke.
Xie Lan, who was in front of the TV, didn't have the same scruples as Han Shuyu. She pointed at the TV screen and cursed: "Shameless king! You won't be given a card for such a foul? Do you want my son to do a triple somersault for you?" One hundred and sixty degrees? Black whistle!”
Hu Lixin and Li Ziqiang sat nearby. The two men were used to Xie Lan's style of watching football.
This is certainly not a black whistle in the strict sense.
But Xie Lan’s anger is understandable.
Li Ziqiang finally consoled him: "It's okay, thank you. The Pirates got a free kick. For Toni, this free kick was at a right angle and a moderate distance. So maybe this is an opportunity for the Pirates to score?"< br>
On the TV, Toni is placing a football.
※※※
The Madrid Kings players began to line up nervously.
Obviously they also know the reputation of Tonini, the free kick master.
Toni's name sounds a bit cute, but his free kicks are not cute at all.
On the contrary, he was too cunning.
Because he's good at elevator kicking.
After setting up the human wall, Toni also placed the football, backed out of a sufficient running distance, stood with his hands on his hips, looked at the referee, and waited for his whistle.
Hu Lai stood inconspicuously among the crowds on both sides behind the human wall.
But he was ready, just waiting for Toni to kick the football out, he would go in front of the goal. If there is an opportunity for a follow-up shot, never let it go!
This is one of the secrets why he, as a forward who does not seem to have outstanding qualities in all aspects, is very good at scoring goals.
That is to never let go of any possible scoring opportunity!
The whistle finally sounded.
Tonini takes a run-up and shoots!
When the football was played, Hu Lai quickly cut through the crowd and headed towards the goal!
The football flew high in the air over the leaping Madrid Kings wall and headed straight for the upper left corner of the goal. If this trend continues, the football is likely to fly directly over the crossbar and into the noisy stands behind...
Before anyone else could recover, Hu Lai had already fought his way out of the crowd.
The football remains almost motionless in the air, not spinning at all.
Hu Lai looked up at the goal. The football reached the goal one step ahead of him...and then suddenly fell!
Goalkeeper Rodriguez Barker was already in the air and swung his arm, but failed to touch the ball!
The football rubbed the lower edge of the crossbar and flew into the goal!
Hu Lai spread his arms and jumped up.
Huge cheers erupted from the South Stand behind the goal, coming from the visiting fans gathered here.
After the game started, it was the Madrid Pirates who scored first!
Han Shuyu stood in the North Stand and looked at the cheering crowd and the surging flags in the South Stand in the distance. She saw many red Chinese flags among them.
In the north stand where she was standing, she had just recovered from her brief shock when huge boos and curses broke out. No one expected that the Madrid Kings, who gradually took the initiative with their home advantage and fierce pressing, would be the first to concede the ball!
