Chapter 1541 This person’s heart is black
"Cordero, what happened to your mistake in the first half?!"
Back in the locker room, Cordero was questioned like a prisoner by head coach Jose Bernal.
Other Catalan League players also turned their attention.
They thought that Cordero would admit his mistake simply, but they didn't expect that he suddenly became excited when he was asked this question.
"It's all Hu's fault! It's all that Chinese's fault! He framed me!"
Everyone was confused, and even head coach Bernal was full of questions: "Are you saying that you made a mistake because of Hu's pressing?"
Although this is an objective reason, if Cordero shirks his responsibility like this, to be honest, as the head coach, Bernal will be very disappointed with him.
But what Cordero said next surprised everyone present.
"No, it wasn't because of his pressing. It was because he deceived me! He asked me to pass the ball to the left!"
"What?" Bernal thought it was too ridiculous, "He asked you to pass it and you passed it?"
"I thought it was Joel who asked me to pass it..."
Joel Jimenez pointed at himself: "Me? How is that possible?"
Cordero said: "I know this sounds ridiculous. But that's the fact. When he rushed over, he shouted in Catalan. I subconsciously thought it was Joel..."
< br>
Everyone in the locker room looked at each other, and Bernal captured an important message: "You mean Hu used Catalan to ask you to pass the ball to the left?"
Cordero nodded: "Yes, Catalan."
"Why does he know Catalan?" Bernal was even more surprised.
Cordero shook his head: "I don't know how he knows it, but he just knows it... After scoring the goal, he came over to thank me in Catalan. That's when I knew he knew Catalonia." Language.”
Catalan is the language of Catalonia, where Barcelona is located, and is different from Spanish.
In the Autonomous Region of Catalonia, this language has the same official status as Spanish.
Among the people it even surpasses Spanish.
Many local players who have played for Catalan United for many years actually communicate in Catalan on a daily basis.
The first language a foreign player in Catalonia needs to learn after joining is not Spanish, but Catalan.
Only in this way can you integrate well into the team.
If a foreign player can be interviewed in Catalan, it will definitely quickly win the favor of Catalan fans.
It's just that Catalan is not a widely spread language after all. Except for people living in this area, most people don't need to understand and learn Catalan.
It’s okay to say that Catalan is an “unpopular language”.
How did Hulay master such an "internal lingua franca" of the Catalan Federation?
Everyone was surprised.
"I have heard that Hu has a strong talent for languages. His ability to adapt seamlessly to La Liga has a lot to do with his proficiency in Spanish..."
"But no matter how talented he is, it's too much, right? I can understand why he learned Spanish in order to adapt to La Liga as quickly as possible. What's the purpose of learning Catalan? There's no way he would go a year in advance just for today's goal. Start learning Catalan on your own?" someone retorted.
The rebuttal was also very reasonable, so the person being rebutted couldn't come up with a better explanation and could only spread his hands: "Then how do you explain the current situation? Mr. Hu can't learn Catalonia overnight. Is it in Asian language?”
"Why can't it be overnight? Just learn a few words temporarily. How much time does it take?"
"Still doesn't make sense. How does he know what's going to happen in the game, so how does he know exactly which phrases to learn on the fly?"
Seeing that both sides had their own opinions, and no one could convince the other, captain Rosas came out to smooth things over: "It's also possible that he has started learning Catalan a long time ago. But it may not be for this game. You know, Hu Hu still wanted to learn Catalan at the beginning. We were also interested in him when he was playing in China..."
When he said this, everyone suddenly realized.
This makes sense - maybe Hu Lai has been interested in Catalonia since that time and planned to join. So I started teaching myself Catalan.
But I didn’t expect that Catalan United only announced their interest verbally, or maybe they were not interested at all. This was purely out of disgust for the Madrid king... So in the end, Catalan United did not make an actual offer, thus passing by Hulay.
Now it seems that this may be the "miss" that Catalan United regrets most.
Compare this to the Catalan language that Hulay learned in order to join Catalan United, and he can still use it freely now. It shows how much effort he put into it... Maybe he really wanted to join Catalonia United? Are you just heartbroken by Catalonia United's attitude? Thinking about it this way, it seems to explain why he is so excited every time he plays Catalonia United at the Sagrada Familia Stadium...
Because this was once the place he longed to fight for!
It’s really sad and emotional...
Kabangka also didn't expect that there was such a story behind the team's second goal conceded.
After figuring out the reason, he was extremely speechless.
He knew that Hu Lai's language talent was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that his super language talent could be used in this way...
He originally thought that chatting with the opponent's defender on the court was the limit of what Hu Lai could do.
Now it seems that his lower limit for Hu Lai is still too high!
He was actually able to use the opponent's player's native language to deceive the opponent during the game...
You must know that South American players are famous for being "dirty". Brazilian player Kabangca has also seen a lot of dirty tricks since he was a child. But compared with Hu Lai, South American players are simply like "angels".
No matter how dirty you are, you can't be more dirty than Hu Lai. This kid Hu Lai is the real dirty one. He is black from the inside out!
Throw him into a swimming pool and the water in the pool will turn black!

"So you asked Cordero to pass that kick?"
In the visiting team's locker room, everyone gathered around Hu Lai to inquire about the specific situation at that time.
It's just that as Hulay's teammates, they don't worry about why he speaks Catalan - they are most impressed by Hulay's language talent. In the Madrid Pirates team, there are players from all over the world, and no matter what language the person speaks, Hulay can communicate with them fluently in the other party's language.
After getting used to it, the Madrid Pirates players have long stopped exploring why Hulay can speak so many languages, and what languages Hulay can speak.
"That's right."
"It's a pity that Cordero already knows that you can speak Catalan, otherwise there might be another scam in the second half..." Ion Martinez said regretfully.
Others nodded in agreement.
Tonini said to Hulay: "If I were you, I wouldn't run to thank him after scoring the goal. Then let them guess at halftime who asked Cordero to pass to the left... ”
"Yes, let them fall into mutual suspicion!"
"Maybe we can also make them fight among themselves? It would be better to have a fight! Haha!"
Everyone "offered suggestions and advice" as a hindsight.
But Hu Lai had a different opinion: "You can't fool them for long, guys. They can easily guess it's me. It's not a secret that I speak multiple languages. I hope this will make them fight among themselves. It's impossible. But letting Cordero know that he was cheated by me can actually make his mentality explode, because it is difficult for a goalkeeper to accept such a goal..."
Pirates' main goalkeeper Hewel raised his hand in agreement with Hulay: "Nonsense is right. As a goalkeeper, it is so wonderful to accept the opponent's shot, but I can't save the goal even though I tried my best. I can also accept the opponent's use. I had no choice but to lose the ball after making a fake move, but anyone’s mentality would explode if I was tricked into losing the ball. I can only say that luckily Hu and I are teammates!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Not only Hewel, but others also felt that it was lucky that they and Hu Lai were teammates, otherwise it would have been torture every time they met Hu Lai.
"Very good." Coach Parotti stood up and said, "So in the second half we have to continue to put pressure on Cordero and try to shoot more if we have the opportunity. If we can force him to make another mistake, that would be even better!"< br>

Catalan United head coach Jose Bernal grabbed Cordero's shoulders with both hands, almost pressed his forehead against them, looked directly at him and said:
"Listen, Carlos. The goal conceded in the first half was not your responsibility, but Hu was too cunning. No one in your position could have done better than you. So forget about the first half. Lost the ball and focused on the second half!”
Cordero gritted his teeth and nodded: "I understand. I won't let that goal affect me!"
"Very good!" Bernal patted Cordero's cheek gently.
What he was most worried about was that the mistake would mess up Cordero's mood and make him feel self-blame during the game, which would affect his performance in the next game.
The goalkeeper position is very critical.
Catalan United emphasizes overall passing and control, and the goalkeeper is naturally a part of the passing and controlling system.
When Jimenez lost the ball in the first half, it was a very normal pass back to the goalkeeper. Cordero chose to pass the ball across to his teammate on the side instead of kicking it directly forward. This was also the case for Catalonia United. Tactical requirements and habits.
Therefore, if Cordero is restless and has random thoughts, it will not only affect the safety of the goal, but also affect Catalonia's overall passing and control in the second half.
Seeing Cordero's performance, Bernal was slightly relieved.
I hope Cordero can really try to come out of the shadow of low-level mistakes in the first half, as he said...
