Chapter 1347 The old dog still has a few teeth
"Cerados! Cerados!! Ooooh! Alexandra Cerados! The amazing 'King of the Madrid Derby'! This is his fifteenth goal in the Madrid derby Goal! He equalized the score for the Kings of Madrid! This is also his ninth goal at Pirates Park! I must say...it’s really worthy of Cerrados”
Sanchez shouted excitedly.
Cerrados was also very excited after the goal. He ran to the corner flag area of the stadium, and then put his finger to his lips to signal the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands who kept booing and yelling to shut up!
Although his action only made the boos and curses more intense, Cerrados didn't care.
He turned around, opened his arms and embraced his teammates who came to celebrate.
At the moment Cerrados shot, Melli turned to look at him in shock - he really thought Cerrados would pass the football back, and his movement was not to help Cerrados pull it away. The Pirates' defensive player, he really wants to hit the wall with Cerrados...
So Melli was stunned when he saw Cerrados choosing to shoot himself.
Especially after Cerrados scored a goal, Melly felt a little... uncomfortable.
He hoped that the goal was scored by himself...
For Meli, this game is an opportunity to compete with Hu Lai.
He held back his energy and scored in just two minutes, taking the lead.
As a result, Hu Lai scored two goals in a row and surpassed him in the number of goals scored.
Of course he is not willing to fall behind like this, so this ball is very important to him.
It's a pity that Cerrados didn't seem to notice the anxiety in Melli's heart. Instead, he took advantage of Melli's opportunity to help him take away the defensive player, and scored the equalizing goal in one fell swoop.
In this way, Melli missed his second goal of the game and was still one goal behind Hulay.
However, this somewhat lost emotion only lingered in Melly's mind for a short period of time, and he immediately put it behind him.
After all, the battle with Hu Lai is long-lasting and will even last throughout his entire career.
But in this game with the Pirates, he wanted to win.
And as long as they can win, it doesn't matter who scores.
Melli quickly adjusted his mentality, and together with other teammates, ran to captain Cerrados, hugged him and celebrated.

"...At this ball, the attention of almost all the Madrid Pirates defensive players was attracted by Melly who advanced into the penalty area. The previous task of Cerrados was indeed to create opportunities for Melly...but no one expected him. I chose to do it myself at this critical moment! And it was undoubtedly the right decision! A fake pass and then a quick shot, Cerados’s movements were very fast!”
"...The defenders of Madrid Pirates are too concerned about Melli, but forget that Cerrados is the real 'king' in the Madrid derby! This is his fifteenth goal in the Madrid derby! It is also his first goal in the Pirates The ninth goal in the park! He is the deserved number one in the derby! ”
"Ah, hell!" Parotti and his assistant coach Valentine also looked up to the sky and sighed after losing the ball.
Cerrados did not pass the ball to Melli, but chose to do it himself, which really surprised them.
This is actually not a big mistake, because Cerrados's state this season is very average, ups and downs, good and bad.
Only five goals have been scored in the league so far. It can be said that Cerrados has plummeted as his age increases this season.
The Kings Club is allocating resources to Melli. In fact, a large part of the reason is that Cerrados' current state and ability are not enough to lead the Kings forward.
It's just that Parotti and the others still ignored the "derby" attribute of Cerrados.
If this was an ordinary league game, Cerrados might not be in much better shape.
But this is a Madrid derby!
This is the stage that Cerrados is best at!
Everyone thought that Cerrados would withdraw from the stage of history due to Merry's strong rise.
But Cerrados used this ball to tell everyone:
Even old dogs have a few teeth!
※※※
As the Madrid Kings Club this season focuses its resources on the increasingly mature Argentinian genius Meli Banega, the star of the former "Four Kings" Alexandra Cerrados has dimmed a lot. In some cases, it is simply Virtually disappear.
This is the power of the top giants to have the right to speak.
When the club decides who to favor, they can quickly be molded into top players.
In terms of promotional resources, there is less media surrounding Cerrados and less news about him. Of course, Cerrados is a relatively low-key player. After Louis Francis retired, he took over as the captain of the team and was also the number one star. No matter how low-key he was, everyone could always tell him about it in various media. Saw the news about him.
It is filled with all kinds of news about his performance on the court, or comparisons between him and other top stars, etc...
This is exposure.
Naturally, Cerrados does not have such exposure now. With Melli's strong rise, everyone knows that although Cerrados is the team's captain, he is no longer the number one star of the Madrid Kings.
At the tactical level, Cerrados also lost his original position as the team's top scorer and gave up the right to fire to Melli.
However, this is not a suppression of the captain, but a tradition of the Madrid Kings Club.
Cerrados did not express any objection, but accepted the club's arrangements calmly and cooperatively.
Although assisting Melli is not what a player like him is good at, he still did his job conscientiously on the court. Even if he was criticized for his poor condition and poor performance, he did not defend himself.
It is obvious from the statistics that Cerrados' status in the team has declined this season.
The league has reached the twenty-sixth round. Counting the goal in this game, Melli has scored twenty league goals.
Cerrados, the former top scorer of the Madrid Kings, only had five goals, a huge gap.
In the Champions League group stage, Melli scored five goals.
Cerrados only had one goal.
Melli's performance this season is so good, and Cerrados is in mediocre, even poor form.
So many people have forgotten that when it comes to Madrid Derby, Cerrados is the well-deserved "king".
Cerrados made his first appearance in the Madrid Derby at the age of seventeen, and is about to turn thirty-four now. In the past seventeen years, he has played a total of thirty-two times in the Madrid Derby and scored fourteen goals.
He is the top scorer in Madrid Derby history.
He is also the greatest player in the history of the Madrid Derby.
Now, he has scored his fifteenth goal in the history of Madrid Derby, pushing his scoring record a little further.
Whether it is Melly who replaced him in the club, or Hulay who has enjoyed great success this season, in front of him, he is still a complete "younger brother" in the history of Madrid Derby.
Melly also started participating in Madrid derbies at the age of seventeen. Now he is twenty-four. Counting today's game, he has played eleven Madrid derbies in seven years and only scored five goals.
He can replace Cerrados with the support of the club and the team, but he still has a long way to go before surpassing Cerrados in the history of Madrid Derby.
Not to mention Hulay, today is only his second Madrid derby.
However, when it comes to catching up with the number of goals scored by the "King of Derby" Cerrados in the Madrid Derby, Hulay is obviously more hopeful than Melli.
Because he scored four goals in just two games, his efficiency was far higher than Cerrados and Melly.
Of course, the premise is that he needs to stay with the Madrid Pirates team long enough.
The reason why Cerrados became the "King of Madrid Derby" has a lot to do with the fact that he has been playing for the Madrid Kings.
With a record of thirty-two Madrid derby appearances in seventeen years, Cerrados is also the player who has participated in the most Madrid derbies.
No matter how efficient Hulay is, if he only stays for three or four seasons, it will be difficult to surpass Cerrados.

After finishing their celebration, the Madrid Kings players surrounded their captain and ran back to their own half.
Hulay and his Pirates teammates were already in position, ready to kick off.
Now it's the pirates' turn to be anxious.
Instead, the Madrid Kings players slowly returned to their own half.
Although in theory, every city derby should strive to win.
But the Kings, playing away from home, can completely accept the result of a draw.
So now the mentality of both sides has changed, and the strategies to be adopted for the game have also changed.
The Madrid Pirates, who had previously responded to external changes by remaining unchanged, must take the initiative to break the current situation.
And now there is only ten minutes left for them.
When Melly ran back to his half with his teammates, he passed the center circle and saw Hu Lai, who was already standing inside waiting for the kick-off.
He found that Hu Lai was also looking at him.
The two people's eyes collided, and neither of them avoided it. (End of chapter)
