Chapter 1499 will not become reality
After Pablo Becker saw that Jensen failed to cut inside, he did not retreat to prepare for defense. Instead, he suddenly accelerated forward and rushed towards Vukovich!
As an experienced midfield organizer, he saw through Danny Drew's passing intentions.
At this time, Vukovic still had his back turned to him. As long as he could press up unexpectedly, he would have a high chance of successfully intercepting the ball, and then directly face an unexpected Pirates' defense line. At that time, whether he is passing or shooting, he can pose a threat!
As soon as Drew passed the football, he saw Becker launching a sneak attack on Vukovich from behind.
Because it all happened so fast, he didn't even have time to make a sound to remind him, or by the time he made a sound, the football might have been cut off by Becker.
He could only try to adjust his position and prepare for the attack.
Then he saw Vukovic turn his back to Becker and without even turning his head once, turn sideways and open his arms, then raise his feet to catch the ball... only to let the football slip from his feet!
At the same time, he turned around and blocked Becker behind him!
Becker missed it!
Vukovich took advantage of the situation to complete the turn!
"Oh! Beautiful!"
A mixture of frightened exclamations and excited cheers rang out from the stands.
Vukovich, who turned and dodged Becker, quickly started to catch up with the football.
At the same time, he looked up to observe the situation in front, and then he did not pass the football out immediately, but chose to dribble the ball forward himself!
As an attacking midfielder, Vukovic is definitely faster than Becker.
Facing his advancement with the ball, the players of Sevilla Navigator who were caught off guard quickly retreated, and no one stepped forward to force him.
On the one hand, this is at the front of the Madrid Pirates' penalty area. If the press is unsuccessful, it will leave a lot of space behind him, just like the mistake Vukovic made when returning to defense.
On the other hand, it is naturally because there are people in the backcourt of the Navigators to restrain them, so they do not dare to press forward easily and force Vukovich.
The man who can contain them is Maxi Carey.
The Dutch superstar did not immediately retreat to meet Vukovich, but turned around and rushed forward.
After bringing all the Navigators' defensive players back, he suddenly turned back and ran back to make a response.
Naturally, Navigator's midfielder Victor Montero had to follow, and there was no way to press Vukovich.
Vukovic ran 20 meters with the ball without any interference, reaching the midline.
During this dribbling process, he always looked up and observed the situation in front of him.
In front of him is Maxi Carey, who drops back to receive, and Montero next to him.
But Kyrie not only attracted Montero, but also another navigator central defender Poiatos. Although the latter did not go up and stick to Kyrie like Montero, he did not follow him, but let go. Slow down and focus on Kaili.
This means that the Navigators' backline has space and is incomplete.
Hu Lai is at the front, he can move flexibly and find the space!
Thinking of this, Vukovich directly used the outside instep of his left foot to hit the football while running!
The football passed over a large area of turf at low altitude and went straight to the space behind Poyatos!
At the same time, Hu Lai, who was originally in Artur's defense area, also sprinted diagonally and killed him!
Artur reacted a little slowly, and it was already half a step too late to pursue him.
Vukovic's long pass of more than 30 meters was passed just right. When the ball arrives, the person arrives!
Hu Lai didn't even need to slow down and directly led the football diagonally into the penalty area!
"Hu Lai!! Opportunity!!"
Amid He Feng's excited shouts, Hu Lai, who entered the penalty area, raised his left foot and shot directly!
Bang!
When the football was just taken out by him, Arthur tackled him - if Juledo had adjusted, there might not have been any room to shoot, or the ball would have been blocked by Arthur...
Hulay, who ran diagonally to the left, used his left foot to whip the football to the right side of the goal. Goalkeeper Marco Duric originally followed Hulay to move to the left, but now he pounces back to the right. It is difficult to make another move in any case. It's on guard...
Although he made a save, he didn't touch the ball at all.
The football plunged into the net!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!"
The Spanish commentator Alvarez Sanchez in the commentary box stood up and shouted to the sky.
At the same time in the studio in the Chinese capital, He Feng pumped his fist and shouted: "Good goal -!! Good goal!! Hu Lai! A simple and neat shot! In the 37th minute, he scored for Madrid The Pirates opened the scoring and broke the deadlock! ”
Yan Kang also praised: "There are no extra adjustments or fancy moves, just run to the position and then take the shot! Simple and efficient! This is Hu Lai!!"
※※※
Vukovich basically stopped running after passing the ball.
It is still very tiring to turn around and dribble the ball forward from the edge of your penalty area, run all the way to the midline, and then use your outside instep to deliver a precise through ball.
So he didn't let himself go any further.
In fact, there was no need for him to rush forward, because he was almost thirty meters away from Hu Lai. Regardless of whether the ball goes in or not, when he runs up, the offense is over.
He just stood in the center circle and watched quietly.
Watching Hu Lai running diagonally, adjusting his pace while running, and shooting the ball directly into the reverse angle without stopping.
The football just flew into the goal...
He was panting heavily and jumped up, then opened his arms and rushed forward!
This is his first assist since coming to Madrid Pirates!
The heavy burden that originally weighed on him, making him breathless and giving him nightmares when he slept, was suddenly lifted. He felt a sudden lightness in his body, as if he was about to fly.
※※※
"Haha! Look what I said! I said it!"
Seeing the goal, Madrid Pirates head coach Parotti also jumped up excitedly. He turned around and shouted to the assistant coach Valentin next to him.
Valentin was equally excited. He laughed and hugged Parotti: "You are right, Ettore! Hu is indeed a 'famous' navigator!!"
The smile on Parotti's face froze for a second: "Well, that's not what I meant... I mean this is what I hope Vukovic will do. He should be such an all-around midfielder, not just a pure midfielder." Midfielder...but you are right!”
Halfway through the explanation, Parotti gave up the idea of continuing to explain, because he did say that meeting a navigator at this time is a good thing...
So what else is there to explain?
Just celebrate and that’s it!
※※※
After scoring, Hulay first confirmed that the football was in the goal, and then he opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area.
The cheering Madrid Pirates fans in the stands knew what he was going to do. They took a breath between cheers and waited for Hulay to jump up.
"Coming, coming, brothers!" Han Shuyu pointed the camera lens firmly at Hu Lai. After saying this, she held her breath and waited for that moment to arrive.
In the camera, Hu Lai leaps high, spins in the air, and falls down with a wave of his hand!
Meanwhile:
"HUUUUU!!!"
Then came thunderous applause.
Amid applause, the Pirates of Madrid anthem played from the radio at Pirates Park:
"United! People! Never! Will be! Defeated!"
"United! People! Never! Will be! Defeated!"
"Get up! Sing! We go to victory!"
"The flag of unity is already moving forward!"
"Come too, march with us!"
"You will see singing and flags flying!!"
While filming, Han Shuyu also sang along with the fans at the scene and joined the chorus.
She no longer cares whether she will be denounced as a "traitor" by the domestic Madrid King fans. She is just cheering for Hu Lai. She has never betrayed her motherland, so how can she be called a "traitor"?
※※※
Vukovic ran up to Hulay after he finished his celebration. Hulay was already waiting for him with open arms. While hugging him, he said to him in Serbian: "Beautiful pass, Milos! Pass! Be beautiful!”
Not only Hu Lai, but other teammates who rushed up to participate in the celebration also slapped his head and body. It felt as if he, the person who passed the ball and assisted, was the protagonist in this attack...
In fact, that’s right.
He is truly the star of this offense.
If it weren't for his smart turn when receiving Drew's pass, not only Hulay's goal would have ceased to exist, but the Pirates might even have lost a goal...
It was he who got rid of Becker, transported the football from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and helped Hulay complete the fatal blow.
If we are to reward according to merit, Vukovich's contribution in this goal definitely exceeds 50%, ranking first among them.
The most important thing is that he performed so well under tremendous pressure.
Teammates know what this period of time means to Vukovic.
So everyone came to congratulate him and congratulate him.
Surrounded by everyone, Vukovich grinned happily - although the game was not over yet, he felt that the dream would not become a reality! (End of chapter)
