Chapter 1488 The Impact of the Olympic Games
Hu Lai and Kamara really have a tacit understanding, you know, he hasn't even used the [Lingxi Card] in this game yet.
Kamara knows how Hulay wants to run and how to pass.
Hulay also knew that Kamara would pass the football to him.
The two people didn't seem to have become alienated after a season, but the tacit understanding remained the same.
This is probably the biggest gain for Madrid Pirates in this game.
This means that Hulay and Kamara do not need to re-find the rhythm of cooperation and can completely plug and play.
This will greatly shorten the team's adaptation period.
This is very important in a new season surrounded by strong enemies.
If the Madrid Pirates cannot find a rhythm as soon as possible, they may be completely left behind by their competitors. Since they won the league championship last season, Parotti certainly hopes that the team can successfully defend the title if possible this season.
Even if we lose the league title, we still have to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.
So what kind of result is considered a breakthrough in the Champions League?
At least we have to reach the finals, and the best thing is of course to win the championship.
Defending the league title and winning the Champions League.
This is what Madrid Pirates are aiming for this season.
It can also be said to be the target of a big gamble.
In the end, with Hulay's goal after coming off the bench, the Madrid Pirates defeated Loga United 2:1 at home and won their first victory of the new season.
With this victory, their ranking rose from 12th place before the round to sixth place.
Ranked first is still Catalonia United, who are also the only team to have won two consecutive games this season.
Although Kabangka has only played two rounds of the league, his role has already been reflected.
In the two rounds of the league, Catalonia United scored a total of four goals. Kabangka scored two goals and provided an assist, contributing three-quarters of all four goals.
Especially in this round of the league, his goal helped the team beat Real Catharon 1:0 away from home.
Just like Hulay's move to Madrid Pirates, Kabangka seems to have no adaptation period.
He was wise to give up competing in the Olympics as an overage player.
He did not miss even one day of Catalonia United's pre-season training. Whether it was physical reserves or the team's technical and tactical training, he was deeply involved in the entire process.
But having said that, Hu Lai is actually more adaptable than him.
Because Hulay only finalized the transfer to Madrid Pirates at the end of July, he missed the physical training phase of the Madrid Pirates' early training camp and also missed all the Madrid Pirates' warm-up matches.
Compared with Kabangka, Meli is a victim of the Olympics.
Although he did not reach the finals, he played in all six games - because there was still a third or fourth place final.
So he left the United States not much earlier than Hu Lai.
Moreover, Hu Lai gave up his ten-day vacation, but Meili chose to take it. It's not that he couldn't bear the hardship, it was because he was physically exhausted and he needed to rest.
The Madrid Kings, without Melli, had one win and one loss in the first two rounds of the new season and are currently ranked tenth.
In the first round of the league, they defeated the newly promoted team Moriles 2:0 at home. However, in the second round, they capsized away from home and lost to Sebastian 2:4.
This summer, the Madrid king tried to seduce Ruhrlein's young center Janus Edman, but failed. Ruhrlein refused to let him go. Although Edman himself was very interested in joining the Madrid Kings, there was nothing he could do. His contract with the club only expires in three years...
In the absence of Edman, Melly was also absent due to participating in the Olympics. It is normal for the Madrid King's performance to be unsatisfactory.

"Why doesn't Hu need to take a vacation? Is he participating in a fake Olympics?"
At home in Madrid, Melli faced the news that Hulay came on as a substitute and scored a goal with his first touch of the ball, issuing such a soul-searching question.
The agent Alfonso Candela sitting opposite him didn't know how to answer, because he also had the same doubts.
Melly had just finished playing in the Olympics, and he knew very well how tired he was. Otherwise, with Merry's temper, he would definitely return to the team to train directly. He is really too weak to do what he wants to do.
So Mellie accepted the vacation honestly.
After the Olympics, he returned directly to his hometown in Argentina and spent a short time with his parents before returning to Madrid yesterday.
As soon as I got off the plane, I heard that Hulay came on as a substitute in the game and scored a goal with his first touch of the ball... He was already ahead of him in the La Liga scorer list.
Fortunately, Melli does not mess with Zhihu, otherwise someone will definitely ask on Zhihu: "What do you think of Hulay scoring a goal with his first touch of the ball after coming off the bench in the game against Los Angeles United?" Then invite Melli to answer.
Then Melly can really answer like this:
"Thank you for the invitation. I'm in Madrid and just got off the plane..."
Melly didn't get an answer from Candela, or he didn't actually want to hear the answer.
He later announced: "I will return directly to the team to resume training after attending the UEFA awards ceremony."
Candela was a little surprised: "Has your body recovered?"
"That's almost it." Meili shook her head firmly and said, "If Hu can do it, then so can I."
"You two are different, Meili... I have long heard that Hu's physical recovery ability is top-notch. Whether it is double games a week or three games a week, he can always recover quickly after the game. Just like this In this Olympics, with such a dense competition, his physical condition in each game was very good, not affected by the previous game at all... His body is like a mobile phone battery, as if it can be fully charged after sleeping Electricity..."
Candela tried to persuade Mellie to give up the idea.
As he said, Meili and Hu Lai are different. There is really no need to compete with Hu Lai on this matter.
Meili's skills are difficult for Hu Lai to learn, and Hu Lai's physical recovery ability is also difficult for Meli to master.
Hu Lai has a precedent of cramping due to exhaustion of physical energy in the game, but it is rare to hear that his performance in the next game was affected by exhaustion of physical energy in the previous game.
Let alone Meili, there are probably not many people on this planet who can recover as quickly as Hu Lai.
It can only be said that Hu Lai's talent is really high in some places...
In Candela's view, this is probably one of the important reasons why Hulay was able to score so many goals.
After all, continuous combat ability is an important quality that determines how many goals a player can score in a season.
After all, how can a player score goals if he can't even guarantee a chance to play?
After hearing what the agent said, Meili felt a little frustrated - why am I different from Hu Lai?
But he still has to admit that his agent is right, at least in terms of physical recovery ability, he is indeed not as good as Hu Lai.
Although he doesn’t understand why Hu Lai has such a strong recovery ability...
"I know, Alfonso. But I've had enough rest now, and now that I'm back in Madrid, I wouldn't be comfortable with staying at home instead of being with the team."
Of course Candela knew why Melly was so insistent - he felt the pressure from Hulay.
It’s not just a league game.
Throughout the Olympics, Melly felt the tremendous pressure Hulay brought to him.
This pressure has actually continued from last season to this day. Although Melli also eliminated Hulay in the Champions League semi-finals, the pressure did not disappear.
Because overall, Meili is still at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Hu Lai.
Especially in this Olympics, he was once again defeated in a direct dialogue with Hu Lai, and then watched Hu Lai take the lead, defeat the host United States team, and win the Olympic gold medal.
Candela has said before that for Melly, Hulay is a whip.
Now that Merry is being whipped by this whip, how can he possibly stay at home for the holidays with peace of mind?
Thinking of this, Candela sighed and said: "Okay, but I still have to remind you, Meili, to pay attention to your health and don't get injured. If you return to the team a few days later, you will not score fewer goals than Hulay. But if you are injured... …That’s troublesome.”
"I know. Thank you, Alfonso." Melly also knew that the agent was doing it for his own good. "I will be measured. Even if I return to the team, I will first conduct physical recovery training to let my body regain its feeling and rhythm."
When Candela heard what he said, he nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, step by step."
Then he changed the subject to a lighter topic: "Congratulations first, the new European Golden Globe winner!"
"It's not finalized yet, Alfonso." Melly did not smile.
No matter what Candela said, until he actually holds the Ballon d'Or trophy, he will not think that he can really get this coveted honor.
This is not because he is humble, but because he is cautious.
He doesn't want to get carried away and be slapped in the face by reality...
After all, before the start of the Olympic Games, he made a bold statement that his goal was to win the Olympic gold medal, but he was blocked from the final by Hu Lai. It hadn't been long before this happened.
After the Argentine Olympic team was eliminated, those scumbags on the Internet mocked him for talking too much before the game, but he was slapped in the face after the game.
Merry has learned well now and doesn't set up FLAG easily.
Just like Hu Lai, people said before the Olympics that their goal was to reach the semi-finals, but they ended up winning the championship.
So there are some things that just won’t work if you say them.
He is so concerned about whether he can win the Ballon d'Or that he must be careful.
If you have any words to say, let’s wait until he holds the Golden Globe trophy and say it while standing on the stage! (End of chapter)
