Chapter 1274 King’s Spirit
"Hu won a free kick in the middle of the frontcourt for the Madrid Pirates. This free kick has entered Tonini's shooting range... Sure enough, Tonini came to take the kick personally... The wall has been set up and the referee is retreating... …”
In the live commentary box, senior commentator Alvarez Sanchez introduced the situation on the court to the audience very quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear whistle sounded.
"Tonini runs...Tonini! Tonini-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! GOLAZOGOLAZOGOLAZOGOLAZO!! In the 28th minute, Madrid Pirates took the lead in the away game! Tonini's iconic elevator ball scored! Beautiful goal!"
"Oh, great goal!" He Feng roared hoarsely in the commentary box, "Tonini took a direct free kick and scored! The Madrid Pirates lead the Kings 1:0! This free kick was exactly what Hulay was doing in the frontcourt. I fought for it for the team! Although it’s not surprising who scores the first goal in the same city derby, this is not the case. It is actually the home court of the Kings! And judging from the situation before, the Kings had the advantage... The Madrid Pirates played very pragmatically in this game. They did not use passing control to attack the opponent, but instead contracted their defense and launched a counterattack. The results prove that their style of play has paid off!”

Han Shuyu's ears were filled with boos and curses. She also heard someone shouting around her: "This free kick shouldn't exist! Hu Mingming is a flop!"
She frowned, but she only dared to retort in her heart:
What kind of flop? Do you really think the video referee team is blind? !
If you're not happy about losing the ball, go ahead and scold Toni. What does it have to do with our Hu Lai? !
When Hulay was still playing in the Premier League, there were rumors about whether he liked diving. But in fact, since video referees have become an important basis for law enforcement, it has given Hu Lai's supporters great confidence - there was no problem with the fouls against Hu Lai, and they were all fouls with solid evidence.
So after all, Hu Lai's voice of diving is only a very small minority, and everyone knows that Hu Lai is very clean. Although his falls were a little exaggerated sometimes, in the final analysis, it was because the opponent really fouled him, kicked him, pushed him, or touched him.
With Hu Lai's physique, an exaggerated throw can be understood as a stress method for self-protection, or it can also be understood as attracting the attention of the referee to avoid suffering a dumb loss.
But no matter how you interpret it, it should never be misunderstood as "he likes to flop."
This is called smart!
Any normal person who has watched Hu Lai's games for a long time will agree with this:
If Hu Lai wasn't smart enough to protect himself, he would have been injured 800 times based on the defensive treatment he received with his physique.
How can I still live to the age of twenty-four with all my beard and tail like now?

After scoring the goal, Tonini rushed towards the corner flag area, with other Pirates players following behind him. Everyone hugged and celebrated in the area where the South Stand and the East Stand meet.
When the Pirates players came here to celebrate, the surrounding security police also surrounded them one after another as if they were facing a formidable enemy, raising their anti-riot shields to protect the Pirates players.
But they only had to guard against disposable soft plastic cups flying from the East Stand, because the South Stand was basically filled with Madrid Pirates fans, who were cheering for the victory, shaking their fists at the players and cheering them on.
Pirates fans also roared and gave the middle finger to Kings fans in the east stands, which were separated by police. It also helped the Pirates players attract the anger of many Kings fans.
In the north stand in the distance, Kings fans pointed at the group of rival players and yelled and cursed, and some threw disposable plastic cups containing beer, but they could not hit the Pirates players on the opposite side of the court.
This behavior is more like venting the anger in their hearts.
Han Shuyu still insisted on filming in the crowd of people cursing. At the same time, in order to prevent herself from being too calm and looking wrong, she also waved her fists to the other side along with the people around her.

While the Madrid Pirates players were celebrating the goal, Kings captain Cerrados was slapping his hands hard to encourage his teammates: "There is still time, it's not a big deal. We can come back, and this is at our home court! How can it be possible?" Let them run wild at our home court! Don’t be affected by this goal!”
Later, he went to comfort midfielder Osai.
After all, this free kick was the result of Osay's foul on Hulay. He didn't want Osay to carry a baggage into the next game.
As the defensive midfielder in the Madrid King's midfield triangle, Osei's performance is crucial.
After comforting Osai, Cerrados ran to the center circle, where Melli had placed the football, waiting for him to kick off.
Standing in the center circle with a football under his feet, Cerrados turned around and shouted to his teammates: "Go forward, king! Never give up! Fight to the end!"
What he shouted was the famous saying of King legend Luis Cuellar, which also represents the spirit of King.
Not only him, but the Kings fans in the stands were also chanting this slogan in unison after recovering from the initial anger and dissatisfaction of losing the ball.
"Onward, King! Never give up! Fight to the end!"
"Onward, King! Never give up! Fight to the end!"
Such shouts resounded from the stands on all sides, eventually combining to form a storm.
This sentence was once shouted by Cuellar when cheering for his teammates in the Champions League final in 1994. The Kings of Madrid trailed Blue and White Munich by three goals at halftime. Everyone felt that the Kings were finished and the championship definitely belonged to Blue and White Munich.
During halftime, the then captain Cuellar shouted to his teammates in the locker room: "Go forward, King! Never give up! Fight to the end!"
He successfully aroused the enthusiasm of his teammates. When the Madrid Kings returned to the game in the second half, they scored three consecutive goals in ten minutes, leveling the score at 3:3, and the game was dragged into overtime.
Cuellar personally created a penalty kick in overtime and scored the penalty, helping the Madrid Kings reverse the Blue and White Munich 4:3 and successfully win the eighth Champions League trophy in the club's history.
This game has also become a classic game in the history of the Champions League final.
Cuela shouted "Go forward, King! Never give up! Fight to the end!" and his image of holding the championship trophy after the game have been written into the history of the Champions League and the Madrid Kings, becoming an eternal classic.
Since then, this sentence has become the best interpretation and representative of the fighting spirit of the Madrid Kings. Whenever the team falls behind, the fans of the Madrid Kings will chant this sentence during the game to give their team Cheer up.
In response to this sentence, five thousand Madrid Pirates fans collectively chanted their slogan:
"United! People! Never! Will be! Defeated!"
"United! People! Never! Will be! Defeated!"
Five thousand people was actually quite a lot, and the collective momentum was astonishing, but in front of 80,000 people they still seemed so alone.
So as soon as their voices came out, they were drowned out by the shouts of the Madrid Kings fans.
But the Pirates fans didn't give up. They kept up their own pace and shouted loudly in the stands.
※※※
The game restarted, and the King who lost the ball was like an enraged bull, fighting even more fiercely.
The Madrid Pirates' passing advantage disappeared in the face of their high pressure.
The leading side played more awkwardly...
Melli was particularly active because of his superb dribbling skills.
Facing the shrinking defense of Madrid Pirates, he has the ability to explode alone.
So the football was passed more to Mellie.
And it is indeed difficult for the Pirates to guard players like Melly who have outstanding personal abilities.
After all, no matter how tight their defensive formation is, it cannot be completely seamless physically.
The meaning of the existence of super geniuses or top stars is to use personal abilities to break the deadlock and disrupt the defense line that strictly adheres to tactical disciplines.
Originally, the Madrid Pirates also had such a top star, and that was Maxi Carey.
During Kyrie's peak period, his personal ability ranked first in La Liga. He can often perform a good show of riding through a level alone, messing up the opponent's defense and then scoring a goal or assisting his teammates.
And now with Carey injured and Mellie rising strongly, it’s the Pirates’ turn to experience the treatment they received from their opponents in the past...
Parotti also made special defensive arrangements for Melli before the game.
But for a player with such outstanding personal ability, it is difficult to achieve full effect no matter how he is arranged.
In view of Melli's characteristic of playing forward but liking to retreat to the midfield to get the ball, it is natural to let Juan Ramirez follow Melli.
But in this case, Dudu Carlos has no restrictions.
If Joaquin Vela goes to guard Dudu, who will guard Albin Eström, another attacking midfielder of the Madrid Kings?
In short, because of Melly's super personal ability, Royvi allows him to move freely in the frontcourt, which can disrupt the Pirates' defensive arrangement, because the Pirates will always have one less person in the midfield.
There are obviously four midfielders, but against the three midfielders of the Madrid Kings, the Pirates seem to be the side with fewer people.
To say that there is no way to guard against Merry is of course not.
Just a foul.
But if you commit a foul, you will get a card, and if it is serious, you will be kicked off the game early.
Therefore, Parotti will not let the Pirates players on the field easily foul Mellie unless it is absolutely necessary.
Even if you have to commit a foul, you have to choose a place and a method, and try not to get any cards.
In short, it is easy to say it, but it is very difficult to actually operate it on the court.
Sometimes I can't even keep up with thinking with my head and can only listen to the instinct of my body.
For example, when you obviously shouldn't foul, you commit a foul... not only giving the opponent a free kick in a dangerous position, but also giving yourself a yellow card.
Is it because the fouling player didn't know that there shouldn't be a foul?
In hindsight, or he knew it right after the foul.
But in that situation, when adrenaline was secreted in large amounts, the brain would not think about the problem. Seeing that the opponent is about to run away, it doesn’t matter whether there is a foul or not, as long as the opponent can stay, you can do whatever you want...
When Melly charged forward with the ball, Juan Ramirez first tried to catch Melly during the chase, but Melly twisted and avoided it.
Ramirez bumped into him again. Although Melli was staggered by the collision, he still maintained control of the football at his feet.
Taking advantage of Melli's unsteady steps, Ramirez stepped down to steal the ball!
Melly took the football away first and at the same time dodged Ramirez's outstretched foot very quickly!
Ramirez lost his balance during this steal and could only watch as Melli slipped away from him.
Fortunately, Pirates center back Moreno anticipated this situation and did not distance himself from Ramirez. So when the captain was passed, he quickly made a move.
Taking advantage of Melli's opportunity to stretch the football slightly, he intercepted the football first!
"Merry...Oh! What a pity!" Sanchez sighed.
"In the battle with Ramirez, Melly had already won. But Moreno was very alert and did not give him any room to continue passing... After losing the ball, Melly became obviously more active. Although this The attack failed, but if he continues to play like this, the Pirates' defense will be under tremendous pressure! This is not good news for the Pirates..."
The Madrid Kings fans in the stands chanted Melli's name in unison, hoping that Melli could become the hero who saves the team and the crisis.
"Go forward, Merry! Go forward!" (End of Chapter)
