Chapter 1511 Don’t carry baggage forward
Kamara crosses the ball and Hu Lai comes forward!
But when he stopped the ball, he stopped the football several meters forward and watched the football roll towards the baseline, and even roll out of the baseline.
Some Chinese fans in front of the TV couldn't help but started to sigh - they thought Hu Lai had stopped playing.
Following closely, everyone saw Hu Lai striding to catch up with the football and then take off directly!
Until this time, almost everyone, including the TV audience, thought Hu Lai was going to cross to find teammates in front of the goal to outflank him.
So much so that when the football flew towards the goal, some people had not yet recovered...
When the football hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the net, they realized that Hu Lai had shot!
"Hu... Hulay!! Hulay! Oh, beautiful! What a beautiful goal! It was a goal from almost zero angle! Both Nazari and goalkeeper Albertazzi were deceived by him!"
He Feng shouted excitedly.
"Eighty-third minute! Madrid Pirates lead by two goals, Julei scored twice! The Turin Bulls had only conceded one goal in the six games before this season, and now they have conceded two in one game!"< br>
"Hulay is really Albertazzi's nemesis, hahaha! He scored a hat trick last time and scored twice this time!"
The two Chinese commentators laughed very happily.
Hu Lai's good performance is their biggest wish.
At first, some Chinese fans thought Hu Lai was trying to cross the ball, but the kick ended up being flawed.
But in the slow-motion replay, you can clearly see that Hu Lai straightened the instep of his right foot to volley - who would straighten the instep of his right foot to kick the ball?
This is a standard shooting motion.
Hulay wanted to shoot from a small angle from the beginning, catching Albertazzi and Nazari off guard!
He succeeded!
"Hu Lai played so skillfully..."
"It's really not Albertazzi's fault for this goal...it would have been difficult for anyone else to save it!"
Hulay's goal was replayed over and over again on TV from different angles.
At first, everyone thought it was stopping, but it turned out that it was done on purpose.
The last shot was also very decisive.
"...This shows that Hu Lai is very confident in his shooting skills!"
Yan Kang and He Feng were full of praise for Hu Lai's goal, proving Hu Lai's awesomeness from all aspects.
"... After adapting with the team at the beginning of the season, Hu Lai has obviously found his form and rhythm. It's like driving from a congested city evening rush hour road to an empty highway. Speeding up!”
※※※
The Madrid Pirates fans cheered and celebrated the goal, while the few Turin Bulls fans in the stands collectively fell into silence.
With the away team trailing by two goals as the game entered the final ten minutes, they had already seen the final outcome of the game.
Bulls coach Zacccaroni, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his hand and touched his bald head. He was helpless and speechless.
Is this conceding a result of poor performance of your own defense?
No, it's already good.
All positions were blocked, preventing the Madrid Pirates from passing the football around.
How did you lose the ball in the end?
In fact, the Bulls' defense was successful until Hulay shot.
Hu Lai feels so good in front of the goal that any position in the penalty area seems to be within his shooting range.
Faced with such a zero-angle ball loss, the defender had no fault and had nothing to say.
It can only be said that the Turin Bulls had bad luck and encountered the resurgent Madrid Pirates and Hulay.
If the schedule is reversed and the Turin Bulls challenge Madrid Pirates away from home in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Zaccaloni is confident of defeating his opponent.
But it happened that the Turin Bulls met Madrid Pirates after they defeated Sevilla Navigators...
Time is also destiny.
What bad luck!
In front of the home team's coaching bench next door, head coach Parotti said to assistant coach Valentin: "Okay, no need to worry about offense or defense. Now we can slow down appropriately and recycle defense."
Valentine laughed: "Hu helped us make the choice."

Hu Lai scored in the 83rd minute. After he scored, including injury time, there were about ten minutes left in the game.
In these ten minutes, the Turin Bulls tried to make a desperate struggle.
But it didn't work out.
Joaquin Vela and Juan Ramirez, who Parotti replaced in advance, sit in the midfielder, strengthening the defense of the midfield and protecting the back line.
At the same time, although Vukovich was in front of the midfielder, he also actively defended.
Now Vukovic has gradually adapted to a style of play that requires more defensive tasks on the court, so even if he is playing as an attacking midfielder, he will participate more in defense.
Anyway, he has excellent physical fitness, so he doesn't have to worry about running out of time.
Speaking of the Madrid Pirates' defense alone, it may not be as strong as the Turin Bulls.
But looking at the overall situation, because the offense and defense are integrated and the whole team cooperates very well, the Madrid Pirates withstood the dying struggle of the Turin Bulls in the last ten minutes.
After four minutes of injury time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
"Game over!"
Amid the cheers of Madrid Pirates fans, commentator Sanchez happily shouted:
"The Pirates defeated the Turin Bulls 2-0 at home. Not only did they win their first victory in the Champions League group stage this season, they also won their first direct meeting with the Turin Bulls! This is a very crucial victory! And more The important thing is that we all saw the changes in the Madrid Pirates from this victory. They are completely different from the performance at the beginning of the season! Parotti's team is finally on the fast track!"
After defeating Sevilla Navigator 4:0, some people felt that the outbreak of that game did not explain anything. The test is the Champions League group match against the Turin Bulls in midweek.
Now I believe they can no longer find a reason.

"Let's go..."
Nazari patted Albertazzi on the shoulder, awakening the young goalkeeper from his depressed mood.
He knew the grudge between his teammates and Hulay, so he understood why Albertazzi behaved like this.
Everyone was depressed after losing to Madrid Pirates, but Albertazzi was more depressed than all of them.
He came to the away game with the desire for revenge, but as a result, the old grudge was not avenged, but a new grudge was added.
Albertazzi walked off the field with a fresh bruise, and then turned to look at the Madrid Pirates players who were celebrating their victory.
Hu Lai was the focus of everyone's attention. He was followed by a photographer carrying a camera with a Steadicam stabilizer, who was tracking and shooting.
As the best player in the game, you deserve such treatment.
Although Albertazzi made many wonderful saves in the game, as long as he conceded the ball, he was a loser.
This is the special nature of the goalkeeper position.
Unless you keep a clean sheet, it's hard to enjoy the cheers.
Albertazzi looked at this scene with bitterness in his heart.
At this moment, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. Looking back, it was Pirates center back Danny Drew.
"Hi, Mauro." Drew greeted him in accented English with a smile on his face.
Albertazzi said angrily: "What are you doing? Are you here to see my joke?"
Drew's eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "Why did you say that? I just haven't seen you for a long time, so I came up to say hello."
Albertazzi also realized that he was affected by his mood and his attitude towards Drew was a bit harsh. He apologized: "I'm sorry..."
"No need to apologize, Mauro. I understand you. I was in a bad mood after being eliminated by the Pirates last season." Drew shook his head and grinned. "Your performance is actually very good and you are a great opponent."
Hearing this, Albertazi subconsciously turned towards Hulay.
Is your performance considered very good? What about Hu Lai? God descends to earth?
Noticing his look, Drew grinned: "Don't look at him, Mauro. Don't compare with him."
"How can I not compete with him? I'm the goalkeeper, Danny. My job is to face him in the game."
"I mean if you want to be more open, it's not a big deal if he scores a goal."
Albertazi said with a hint of sarcasm: "If you can't beat it, why don't you join?"
Drew didn't care what Albertazzi said. He shrugged: "You know how public opinion ridiculed me after I lost to Melli."
"So being called 'elementary schoolboy' is no big deal?" Albertazzi stared at Drew, as if he wanted to see the slightest change in expression on his face.
Drew grinned: "You know? After that game, Hu started calling me a 'schoolboy' on the team."
Albertazzi looked surprised when he heard this.
Facing the surprised Albertazzi, Drew smiled slightly and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Be more open-minded, Mauro. Let's have another good match when we get to your home court."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
"He's right."
Albertazi turned around, and Captain Caesar stood behind him at some point. It was exactly what he said just now.
"You won't get far if you always carry all the baggage on your shoulders. You will have more confrontations with Hu in the future. If you lose, you will win. You have done a good job in this game, there is no need to be so frustrated. ”
"Thank you, Captain." Albertazzi took a deep breath and said to Caesar.
"Yeah."
Caesar nodded and turned towards the other team members.
Albertazzi looked at his back.
He could already imagine how the Italian media would criticize the captain after the game. After all, the captain did not threaten the Madrid Pirates' goal in this game.
Maybe he will be labeled by the media as the number one culprit for the team's away defeat...
He is also under tremendous pressure, but he still has to relieve the pressure on his teammates.
Compared with the captain, I seem a bit pretentious...
Albertazzi turned again to look for Hulay, who had been called to the sidelines for an interview.
As the man of the match, this is the treatment he deserves.
Albertazzi no longer paid attention to Hulay, and he walked off the court.
Danny Drew is right, there is still one game left, let’s have a good fight then! (End of chapter)
