Chapter 1300 Gradually cooling down
When Kamara's shot was saved by Pirates captain Ramirez with a diving header, many Leeds City fans were still feeling pity and regret for missing this scoring opportunity. They did not expect that the Madrid Pirates could quickly follow up. Pushed the offense into their half.
Matt Dawn, who was standing on the top floor of the stands, had his eyes wide open - if this was an American football game, then he could use the intercom to quickly convey the crisis he saw to the players wearing helmets on the field. Jean Grist must pay attention to Hu Lai.
But alas this is not the case.
English football also does not allow players to bring communication devices onto the field.
So he could only watch what happened next.
When Ion Martinez made a long pass, Matt saw that Hulay was already sprinting forward.
But when he was close to Grist, he did not continue to advance. Instead, he suddenly ran sideways. He was originally going to run from the outside of Grist, but as soon as he cut across, he went to the middle.
At the same time, it was this lateral movement that prevented him from being in an offside position when Ruiz headed the ball.
At that time, Grist was focused on the battle between Ruiz and Acheson, and for a moment he ignored Hu Lai who slipped past his nose. It was really right under his nose that the 1.9-meter-tall Grice Te raised his head at that time and cast his gaze diagonally forward into the air. The area below his nose was completely invisible in his field of vision.
And Hu Lai passed through there...
What happened next was not beyond Matt Down's expectation - Hulay successfully reversed the offside and received the ball behind Grist.
Fortunately, there is someone in Leeds City who always focuses on Hulay.
Therefore, Hu Lai has not yet formed a true single sword.
But unfortunately, Morikawa Junpei was quickly passed by Hu Lai...
Morikawa Junpei, who was lying on the ground, saw Hu Lai taking a shot, and it was too late to get up again.
As soon as he got up, he could only watch the football fly into the goal guarded by Van der Ven.
He gasped and looked at this scene, the cold rain hitting his body, stirring up a faint white mist.
He tried his best, but still couldn't stop Hu Lai.
In fact, he did well enough. After all, he was the only Leeds City player to follow Hulay.
But this is obviously not enough...

"Hu Lai! Hu Lai!!! Beautiful! Beautiful -!" He Feng raised his arms and shouted. "Two goals! 3:2! Madrid Pirates take the lead again!"
Sanchez also shouted: "HUUUUUUUGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL——!! GOLAZO! GOLAZO! GOLAZO!! After scoring twice in the Madrid derby against the Kings, Hu scored twice in two consecutive games. This is also his second consecutive Champions League game! Since joining the Pirates, his scoring performance has been super good! This goal fully reflects his off-the-ball movement and calm mentality in front of the goal! A long pass from the backcourt directly penetrated Leeds City’s defense!”
Matthew Cox sighed: "Leeds City paid the price for their aggressiveness... Clark may have thought that his team could score first, but he forgot that Hu is now on the Pirates side, not Leeds City." In the formation! With ten minutes left in the game, Hu’s goal pushed Leeds City to the edge of the cliff again! Facing his old club, Hu Ke was really merciless!”
When Hu Lai got out of the way of Morikawa Junpei, there was a burst of exclamation in the stands of Flanders Stadium.
When the football flew into the goal, the momentum in the stadium was significantly reduced.
Many Leeds City fans put their heads in their hands, pursed their lips and made no sound.
After scoring the goal, Hulay did not turn around and run back expressionlessly like he did when he scored the first goal.
Instead, he raised his hands slightly and made an apology gesture to the Leeds City fans in the stands.
He knew that with ten minutes left in the game, his goal was a heavy blow to Leeds City, which was already gaining momentum.
The originally good situation took a turn for the worse...
This ball really hit Leeds City hard.
Because this time there was no applause in the stands like when Hulay scored the first goal.
Leeds City fans couldn't applaud this goal that might have caused their team to lose the game like they did when they faced the first goal.
They love Hulay, but they also love their team.
This was not a must-lose game for Leeds, but a close one.
Leeds City has a chance to win, and the chance is not small.
Therefore, Hulay's goal at this time helped the Pirates take the lead again, which was a particularly heavy blow to Leeds City fans.
Being able to remain silent when your team may lose is already the greatest respect for Hu Lai.
In front of the coaching bench on the sidelines, Parotti was hugging his coaches and celebrating his goal.
A little further away, in front of the Leeds City coaching bench, Clark looked up to the sky and sighed.
The completely different performances of the two coaches were placed in the same frame by the telephoto lens of the television broadcast. The contrast is sharp and is one of the best annotations of this game.
※※※
The Madrid Pirates players rushed towards Julay and hugged him again.
They excitedly slapped Hulay, roared in his ears, and some excitedly shook their fists at the Leeds City fans in the stands.
But Hu Lai, who was in their arms, had a serious expression and didn't even show a smile.
Next to him, Leeds City goalkeeper Van der Ven got up from the ground. He looked back at the football that was already in the goal, and then looked back at Hulay, who was surrounded by Pirates players.
He put his hands on his hips, shook his head and sighed.
In fact, when he abandoned the door and attacked, he had already somewhat guessed the result.
But he could only attack and take a gamble.
This is the only time he lost the bet.
……
Ben Grist, running back, only had time to watch the football crash into the goal and put his hands up to cover his face.
He believed that he was responsible for conceding the goal.
If his attention hadn't been briefly attracted by football, how could he have missed Hu Lai?
As a former teammate of Hu Lai, he certainly knew not to make mistakes or lose focus when facing Hu Lai.
But it was still difficult for him to control himself from being distracted or making mistakes.
Defending Hu Lai is really a torturous thing!
……
During Leeds City's previous attack, Pete Williams was still on the right, and the ball cleared by Ramirez happened to fly here.
He originally wanted to block Ion, but he let the latter push the football forward with his head and throw him away.
Now seeing the ball lost, Pete Williams was extremely upset - I should have fouled just now! Just knock Ion down!
hateful!
……
When Juan Ramirez used his head to clear the football, Camara put his head in his hands and was still regretting that he had not been able to score this must-goal, when he heard a huge exclamation from the stands.
So he didn't care about continuing to regret, turned around and ran all the way, desperately chasing after him.
But when Hu Lai scored, he just ran through the center circle and was completely unable to prevent the ball from being lost.
Kamara, who was out of breath from running, stopped, put his hands on his knees, supported his upper body, and raised his head to look at his own penalty area.
……
Zhou Zijing looked in the direction of his own goal, and the Madrid Pirates players cheered and ran past him.
When you were in China, you always thought there was something so great about him?
When I go to Europe, I can kill everyone like him!
But after I really came to the Premier League, I realized how great everything Hu Lai had done here, and now the gap between me and him is even wider...
It's almost like the Pennine Mountains that stretch to the west of the city.
Zhou Zijing raised his head, closed his eyes, and let the cold rain hit his face.
……
The Leeds City fans in the stands were also silent, letting the rain soak them.
Only 1,100 Madrid Pirates fans cheered excitedly in the visiting team stand in the southeast corner.
This scene fell in the eyes of David Miller in the North Stand. He couldn't help but hum: "Stupid Spaniard! I still don't know how to celebrate Hu's goal correctly! The home fans are obviously worse than us. There are many, but the momentum created is not as good as ours... What a waste of resources!”
Little Matthew heard his father complaining next to him. This time he did not argue with his father. He fully understood why his father was complaining like this.
Because at this moment, he has the same mood as his father:
He was unwilling from the bottom of his heart that Hu would leave Leeds City and then return to Flanders Stadium as an opponent.
Of course he knows that going to Madrid Pirates is a good thing for Hulay's career.
Look at his state with Madrid Pirates, scoring in nine consecutive games in the league and Champions League... Playing in a wealthy club, the upper limit will be higher.
But emotion and reason are in conflict.
No matter how you understand intellectually that it is right for Hu Lai to leave Leeds City, your emotions will tell those Leeds City fans, including Matthew and his son:
We hope Hu can always wear a Leeds shirt and perform his trademark celebrations at Flanders Stadium.
Let God's things belong to God and Satan's things belong to Satan, and we just want to be stupid!
This huge emotion of disappointment and regret struck every Leeds City fan present, leaving them silent.
Their silence quickly cooled down the stadium that had been noisy for eighty minutes.

PS, it’s the last day of 2021, please give me 100 million monthly votes!
I also recommend a book that I am also following recently:
"What to do if the heroine runs out of the book"
Author: Laser Bottle
The ideal heroine in the book suddenly came to Chu Ge, the author of the book. The daily dog food between the Creator and the people in the book... To be honest, this idea is really brilliant. Think about it if Hu Lai and Li Qingqing in my book came to reality from the book... Damn it, I am willing to dedicate Twenty pounds of flesh on my body as the price!
