Chapter 1505 Turin Bull
"...Vukovic dribbles the ball forward! Long pass with the outside instep! Good ball! Huh!! Huh!! GOOOOOL!!!"
"Kaili made a diagonal pass and found Hu... Hu! Direct shot... spike! Wow beautiful! Hu! Hu!!! GOOOL!! GOOOOL!! GOOOOOOOOL!!!"
"...Madrid Pirates won a free kick in the frontcourt. This ball should be taken by their free kick master Tonini. This ball is very consistent with Tonini's free kick characteristics in terms of distance and position...Eh? Carey? Hu! Oh! Turn and volley!"
"The game restarted, and the players of Sevilla Navigator didn't seem to have recovered from the blow of losing the ball... Huh? Kyrie! Kyrie stole the ball from Becker's feet! Through ball! Lachlan Pei made a clearance... Hu! Unbelievable! Hu scored his fourth goal in this game! There is no suspense about the outcome..."
Albertazzi finished watching this video highlight of Hulay's shots and goals. This was specially edited by the goalkeeper coach for him. He asked him to go home and study it carefully. The purpose was to make him more familiar with Hulay's performance in the game. Shooting habits and technical characteristics, so as to achieve targeted defense in the game.
After all, the last time the two of them faced off was almost two years ago.
They are different now than they were then.
Albertazzi is no longer the naive kid who insists on his iceberg persona, and Hulay has grown into the Champions League Golden Boot and "Mr. Billion Dollars."
When handing the video to Albertazzi, the Turin Bulls goalkeeper coach also warned him that from these four goals, it can be seen that Hulay feels quite good in front of the goal, and he may be on the rise of his condition. So Albertazzi will have a heavy task in this game.
But Albertazzi felt no pressure.
Because this is the confrontation he longs for with Hu Lai.
His goalkeeper coach may feel that it is not a good thing to encounter Hu Lai who is in excellent form at this time.
But Albertazzi didn't want it, because he also wanted Hulay to see an Albertazzi in good condition.
After five rounds of Serie A this season, the Turin Bulls have won five of five games and are ranked first with 15 points.
In these five league rounds, the Turin Bulls scored seven goals and conceded only one.
This performance is fully worthy of the self-evaluation of "excellent condition".
This game against Madrid Pirates can be considered a tough battle for Albertazzi and the Turin Bulls - of course, if it were before the game between Madrid Pirates and Navigators, the Turin Bulls players might not be like this look.
After all, the Madrid Pirates at that time looked like weak persimmons. Even the teams ranked in the dozen or so in La Liga could make them miserable, let alone the Turin Bulls, who were the runner-up in Serie A last season.
Things have changed a bit now.
Just after the game between Pirates and Navigators, the head coach of the Turin Bulls, Matteo Zaccaroni, held a special meeting for the team. At the meeting, he showed everyone the highlights of the Madrid Pirates 4:0 Navigator game. look.
Tell them that this team has a completely different performance, and they must not look at them with the same eyes as before this game, otherwise they will suffer a big loss.
He analyzed a lot of things for the players, such as the importance of Vukovic in this Madrid Pirates, such as what threat Kyrie's sudden activity will bring to the team's defense...
He analyzed many people, but he didn't say much about Hu Lai.
Because there is nothing to say, what he said about every Pirates player will eventually fall on Hulay - everyone in the Madrid Pirates team performed well in every link, so in the end Hulay must be very good. threaten.
As long as the players of the Turin Bulls can contain the overall performance of the Madrid Pirates on the court, the threat that Hulay can pose will plummet. At least it will not be like the Sevilla Navigator, where every hit will almost set off a stir. There was a storm.
But that's all the business of his teammates. Albertazzi's task is simple - to block the shot no matter who it is.
Hulay's, Kyrie's, Kamara's, Vukovich's, Toni's... everyone's shots were all rejected.
He is no longer obsessed with creating an "Iceberg" character, but this does not mean that he is indifferent to the fact that his character was destroyed by Hu Lai.
On the contrary, he still broods about it and regards it as a key event that can affect him in the long run.
He must avenge this. It's impossible to just pretend that nothing happened and just let it go.
He is no longer an iceberg or a volcano, but he still hates losing the ball, especially being scored by Hu Lai.

"Hulai shoots!!"
Amid He Feng's shouts, Hulay grabbed a point in the penalty area. However, under the personal interference of Turin Bulls center back Petro Nazari, his kick failed to gain power and was beaten by goalkeeper Albertazzi. Easy to hold in your arms.
"Oh! What a pity!"
He Feng followed with a long sigh.
Yan Kang said from the side: "Nazari is a world-class central defender. It is really not easy to score goals under his defense."
Petro Nazari is currently the second captain of the Turin Bulls, with Serius Caesar as the first captain.
Nazari is a world-famous top central defender. In his career, he has almost always been the best at the central defender position - yes, when he was still very young, he was already the best in the world. The center back. As soon as he debuted, he became a talented player that attracted the attention of the world.
Although today's Danny Drew is also known as a talented central defender, he is still almost boring compared to the original Nazari. It can even be said that Drew's lifelong goal is to become the next Nazari.
Nazari, who is 1.88 meters tall, does not look strong, but he has a good combination of strength and flexibility. He is a central defender with both physical and technical skills.
He has rich experience, outstanding awareness and top-notch physical condition. Now, at the age of thirty-two, he can be said to be at the peak of his career.
His central defender partnership with Paraguay national team captain Paulo Arce is the top central defender partnership in the entire Serie A and even in European football.
Although Arce is currently older and his condition is not as stable as before, the Turin Bulls' defense still cannot be underestimated.
They have only conceded one goal so far this season, and it's not just Albertazzi's fault.
※※※
Hulay, who was unable to threaten Albertazzi, looked back at Nazari, who was defending him.
This is his first time competing against the Turin Bulls, and also his first time playing against Nazari.
He had faced off against Nazari's centre-back partner Arce before in the World Cup qualifying play-offs, and that was almost three years ago.
Arce at that time caused Hulay to suffer a lot.
Now Nazari gives Hulay the feeling of a comprehensively enhanced version of Arce.
It is indeed more difficult to deal with than Alsay.
But Hu Lai didn't care too much, because he is not the same person he was three years ago.
He withdrew his gaze and exited the restricted area.
Prepare for the next attack.
Albertazzi had already gotten up from the ground, throwing the football away, and the Turin Bulls launched an attack.
※※※
The football was quickly passed to the feet of Caesar, who was retreating.
This is actually Hu Lai's first confrontation with Caesar.
This somewhat saddened him.
Because he had just traveled through time and came to this world, he realized that the world he was in was different from the world in his mind. It was through Caesar - it was his classmates who talked about Caesar's beautiful goals during recess. , he discovered that the football-related aspects of the world have undergone earth-shaking changes.
There is no Messi or Ronaldo in this world that he is familiar with. Instead, there are some "Four Kings". The most prominent person among the Four Kings is a guy with the same name as the historical Julius Caesar. He is a superstar of Italian football. He is also the absolute main force of the Turin Bulls.
It was at that time that he first heard Caesar's name, and it was already nine years ago...
A lot has happened in the past nine years. He has also transformed from an ordinary high school student who was not even physically coordinated enough to a professional player, and he was also able to compete with Caesar on the Champions League stage.
The name he once only heard from his classmates has become his real opponent.
After Caesar dropped back to receive the ball, he handed the football to his teammates, then turned around and ran forward.
The Turin Bulls pushed the attack forward.
But when they passed the football back to Caesar's feet again, Caesar stopped the football and stopped it directly at the feet of Danny Drew in front of him.
Drew quickly moved the football away.
Caesar clapped his hands in annoyance, feeling dissatisfied that he had not stopped the ball well just now.
There is no other way. I return to defense, turn around and press forward, then retreat to respond, then turn around and sprint forward... This kind of continuous back and forth running is really very tiring.
So at the most critical moment, his physical strength was a little low and he couldn't run into position. He could only struggle to reach the ball, but ended up stabbing the ball to the feet of the opponent's defender...
It has been nine years since we traveled from Hule. At that time, the 27-year-old Caesar was entering the peak of his career. He was invincible on the court. After scoring a goal, he turned up his jersey collar. This iconic celebration made him His arrogance and arrogance were fully exposed.
Now thirty-six years old, he has undoubtedly begun to enter the twilight years of his career. In counterattacks, he can even end the team's offense on his own.
Although he can still be the main force for the Turin Bulls, in terms of personal ability, this is a great thing. But this also exactly illustrates some of the current "dilemma" of the Turin Bulls.
Relying on a thirty-six-year-old veteran to lead the team forward will not go far...
Although they are leading the league this season, they have only scored seven goals, which is definitely not a lot.
The reason why they are ranked first in the league is really due to their excellent defense.
Now the Turin Bulls' defense faces the test of the Madrid Pirates' offensive lineup. (End of chapter)
