Chapter 1314 Competition
"Oh, it's El Clasico this weekend."
Hu Lai, who was lying on the bed and scrolling through his mobile phone, suddenly said.
"Yeah."
Li Qingqing sat by the bed, applying body lotion and talking to Hu Lai.
"Well, your king is quite busy this weekend. First there is the El Clasico for the men's team, and then there is the Madrid derby for the women's team. It's a derby weekend!"
Li Qingqing glanced at Hu Lai: "Why do I hear some sarcasm in your tone?"
Hu Lai chuckled: "No, no. I'm just curious, when this week is over, will you want to avenge the men's team again..."
"Hey, don't curse us!"
"To tell you the truth, where is the curse? This week we will play the Turin Bulls in the Champions League and we will play Catalonia on the weekend. Have you decided which one to give up?" Hu Lai said with a smile.
Hearing Hu Lai's words, Li Qingqing had nothing to say.
The problem my boyfriend mentioned is very practical.
This national derby really comes at the wrong time.
The game against the Turin Bulls in midweek is very important and is likely to determine which of the two teams can top the group.
But the "El Clasico" against Catalonia at the weekend is also important.
In the last round of the league, Catalan United was tied with Pamplona in an away game, and the Madrid Pirates won. The Pirates have replaced Catalan United and become the first in the league.
At the same time, the Kings of Madrid have narrowed the gap with Catalonia United by defeating Atletico Malaga 2:0 at home with three points - they are still three points away.
If they can beat Catalan United in the weekend's "El Clasico", the Madrid Kings can tie Catalan United on points.
At the same time, it temporarily takes advantage of the relationship between victory and defeat.
La Liga is different from the Premier League. When two teams have the same points, the priority comparison is not which team has the better goal difference, but the winning-loss relationship between the two teams with the same points.
As long as the Kings of Madrid can defeat Catalonia, they will have an advantage in the outcome relationship with Catalonia.
By the end of the season, maybe this winning-loss relationship will come in handy?
But having to face two such strong opponents in a week is also a huge pressure for a giant like the Kings of Madrid...
Not even a week to be exact. The Champions League match between Kings Madrid and Turin Bulls is on Wednesday, while their El Clasico match against Catalonia United is on Saturday.
Just take two days off in between.
After the last round of the league, there were voices in the Madrid Kings Club that were dissatisfied with the schedule, believing that La Liga was deliberately targeting the Kings. It stands to reason that teams that play the Champions League on Wednesday should play the league on Sunday.
As a result, Madrid Pirates, who played in the Champions League on Tuesday, can enjoy the treatment of playing in the league on Sunday. The Kings, who were to play in the Champions League on Wednesday, had to advance to Saturday.
Although Catalonia United also plays on Saturday, the Champions League is played on Tuesday.
Therefore, among the three heroes of the Spanish Super League, only the Kings of Madrid suffered the most.
It's no wonder that the Madrid Kings Club is dissatisfied with this schedule.
Compare it with the other two teams, whoever comes next will feel that they are being targeted.
"Don't worry about our king's affairs. Play your own game well. Kiev is not easy to play."
Li Qingqing put on body lotion and got on the bed.
"Turn off the lights and go to sleep!"

"Hulai——!! Beautiful!!! 3:0! Madrid Pirates leads Kiev by three goals in the away game!"
As the commentator He Feng screamed at the top of his lungs, in the TV broadcast, the football broke through the fingers of the Kiev goalkeeper and flew into the goal.
"Wow!! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Another brace! Scored twice in three consecutive Champions League games! Such Hu is simply unstoppable!"
Spanish commentator Sanchez also exclaimed repeatedly.
At this moment, it was the 88th minute of the game. Hu Lai, who had already scored a goal before, scored his second goal of the game.
"Parotti used all the substitutions and did not take Hu off the field. Maybe he knew that Hu would score again?"
When Sanchez said this, the TV broadcast also cut to head coach Ettore Parotti who was celebrating the goal in front of the coaching bench.
"Honestly, Jesus. I kept Hu on the pitch partly because I wanted to see if he could continue to score goals... But when he actually scored, I was still surprised!"< br>
Parotti whispered this into first assistant coach Jesus Valentin's ear as he celebrated with him.
"Ettore, Hu's recent good condition even makes me feel scared..." Valentin said, covering his mouth.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Everything must be reversed... I'm really afraid that his scoring momentum will be interrupted next. In the league, he has broken Rivero's club record for consecutive goals. It can be said that there is nothing that can keep him going. Maintaining such high morale and goal scoring momentum..."
Parotti smiled and shook his head: "Isn't this normal? Of course he can't keep scoring goals. So his scoring momentum will definitely end. But so what, Jesus? The important thing is that he has already scored goals. We scored so many goals. Even if he doesn’t score in the next game, I’m totally fine with that.”
"That's what it is said... But people are always greedy. I still hope that he can continue to score goals and score more goals... Create history in Pirates - it seems that no one has ever been able to score in four consecutive Champions League games. Scored twice, right?”
Hearing Valentin's question, Parotti was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It doesn't seem like..."
"So as long as Hu scores twice in the next home game against Kiev, he will become the first person in history. Ettore, don't you think this is exciting?"
Parotti nodded: "Indeed..."
Valentin said: "Look, if you start to have expectations for this matter, you will definitely worry about gains and losses - if Hu does not continue to score goals, he will miss a great opportunity to become the first person in history... ”
Parotti understood what his assistant meant, and he laughed: "No, I'm not worrying about gains and losses, Jesus. I just think that if Hu doesn't become the first person in history this time, he will make a comeback sooner or later. He will come back in the future. There are plenty of opportunities...especially After Carey recovers from injury, as long as the two of them can cooperate, I believe that Hu will be the strongest at that time. He is still young, and Jesus has just turned twenty-four, and there will be many times in the future. Opportunities make history.”

The game time at this moment is displayed on the big screen at the Crown Stadium.
84:44
The score is 1:1.
The match between the Madrid Kings and the Turin Bulls is indeed a strong dialogue.
The Madrid Kings got off to a perfect start with a goal from Dudu Carlos in the sixth minute of the game.
But the Turin Bulls equalized the score twenty minutes later.
The goal was of course the ever-stronger Selius Caesar.
The Turin Bulls, who had equalized the score, immediately shrank their defense like a hedgehog curling up.
They seemed to be hoping to take away a point away from home.
Judging from the current competition, they are indeed very hopeful to do so.
The King of Madrid laid siege to the Turin Bulls' goal for almost seventy minutes, but could not break through the goal guarded by Mauro Albertazzi.
Just now, the twenty-year-old talented goalkeeper made another wonderful save, making the Madrid Kings fans in the stands happy in vain.
Melly looked at Albertazzi who got up from the ground.
The talented Italian goalkeeper was scored three goals in a single game for the first time in the Europa League last season, and the "iceberg" was directly melted... and the culprit was Hulay.
As a result, when facing the King of Madrid, the melted iceberg seemed to have become a towering mountain, insurmountable.
Hulay was able to complete a hat trick against Albertazzi. Am I not as good as Hulay?
Mellie thought so in her heart.
In yesterday's Champions League match, Hulay scored twice in three consecutive Champions League matches and has scored six goals this season.
And I have not been able to score a goal in this game so far...
Does it really seem to prove that he is not as good as Hu Lai?
※※※
The team laid siege for seventy minutes but still couldn't score.
There were boos from the stands at Crown Stadium.
Of course, this boo is not just for the Turin Bulls who set up a bus in front of the goal, but also for the King who has been unable to score.
The fans of the King of Madrid are...really strict.
Although this approach is annoying to many people, it also shows that if you want to succeed in Madrid, you really need to endure unimaginable pressure and pay an unimaginable price. Because of this difficulty, the players who can finally succeed here can become the strongest players recognized by everyone.
Amidst the boos, the King of Madrid continued to attack the Turin Bulls' goal.
Dudu Carlos pulled to the ribs this time to get the ball.
He looked up and saw that there was a space at the back point, and Cerrados was inserting it there, so he planned to send a diagonal ball.
Just as he was passing the ball, Albertazzi had already noticed his passing intention, pointed at Cerrados who was running behind and shouted: "Keep an eye on him!"
It was at this time that Merry, who was in the crowd, suddenly started to accelerate and stabbed out diagonally!
Then he stretched his legs to block Dudu's pass!
This was beyond everyone's expectations. When he rushed out, no defender from the Turin Bulls followed him, and even goalkeeper Albertazzi couldn't react in time - his center of gravity had fallen backwards. As a result, now the football It was intercepted at the previous point!
"Merry!"
This was followed by a loud roar from the commentator, Sanchez.
Melli intercepted the ball and quickly took a shot. Before Albertazzi could react, he swept the football into the goal!
Albertazzi fell to the ground and raised one hand upward, as if to indicate that Melli was offside...
But the referee did not call the ball invalid, but turned and pointed to the center circle.
"Melli! Melli! He scored in Albertazzi's goal!"
There were no boos at the Crown Stadium as everyone cheered for their hero. (End of chapter)
