Chapter 1804 Mental Pollution

After Kabanka used a long shot to help Catalonia take a 2:1 lead, Hou Lai hadn't shot for a while.

On the one hand, it was because he was defended by the opponent at every step, and on the other hand, it was also because the Catalan United had the upper hand in the current situation. The Madrid Pirates could only use counterattacks to threaten the Catalan United goal. There are naturally fewer opportunities to get kicks.

"I've counted it, bro. I haven't had a shot for six minutes and forty-eight seconds. Applause to you guys, you did a great job defending."

Even when Catalan was attacking, central defender Paul Fortune followed Hou Lai every step of the way—unless Hou Lai was in an offside position.

So Hu Lai took advantage of the opponent's attack and chatted with Fortune to relieve his boredom.

When he said that, he did not forget to give Fortune a thumbs up, with a smile on his face.

This scene fell into the eyes of the TV audience, and some people were puzzled:

What can Holly and Paul Fortune have to say? Thumbs up? Hu Lai, does this make no distinction between the enemy and the friend?

Someone got excited:

"Here we come! 'Cross talk football' is here again!"

Fortune didn't respond to Hu Lai's words, as if he didn't hear it.

But Hu Lai doesn't care if anyone responds to him, he has long been used to it, and he just continued on his own:

"...I'm very happy that you can follow me all the time, big brother, which fully reflects your respect for me. But I still have to say, even if you keep following me like this, it's useless. When it's time to score a goal, even if you stick Look at me, I will still score goals. But in fact, my scoring chances in a game are very small, maybe one percent of the game time? And for this one percent risk, your team is Don't you think that the greatest danger is to be in a situation with one less man fighting for the remaining ninety-nine percent of the time?"

Paul Fortune still ignored him.

Hu Lai also temporarily set his sights on the game.

When he saw the Madrid Pirates get the ball and start to organize the attack, he said to Fortune again:

"Brother, don't you think that when the football reaches my feet, I can only shoot? Let me tell you that although I don't have many assists, it doesn't mean that I can't assist. In the current situation, you are one goal ahead of us. If I suffer When it comes to your close defense, do you think I will shoot myself or pass the ball?"

As soon as these words were finished, Hu Lai suddenly started to run backwards.

Because at this time, the offense of the Madrid Pirates pushed the football up, Kamara took the ball behind, and Hou Lai wanted to go up to support his teammates.

Paul Fortune hastened to follow.

Kamara passes the ball over.

After Hu Lai received the ball, Paul Fortune quickly posted up to prevent him from turning easily.

Of course, Hu Lai didn't try to turn around, he just passed the football to Kamara who was running without the ball.

The two made a two-over-one cooperation.

After passing the ball, Hu Lai turned around and ran forward, while Kamara dribbled the ball diagonally towards the Catalan penalty area.

Then he took a long shot from outside the penalty area.

Unfortunately, the ball did not fly into the goal.

Although he didn't score, Hu Lai still said to Paul Fortune: "Look, brother, this ball doesn't need me to shoot, it can also threaten your goal. Don't say I didn't remind you, Kamara He has scored seven goals in the league this season, and he is the top scorer in our team besides me. How is it? Are you afraid?"

Paul Fortune only felt that his ears were "buzzing" all the time, as if there were countless flies lingering around.

On the other hand, Hu Lai was like a nuisance, talking non-stop on his own. To Paul Fortune, it was like mental pollution.

Fortune couldn't stand it anymore. He ran to find his central defender partner Joel Jimenez, then covered his mouth with his hands, and said in a low voice: "Hey, Joel. Let's change, you go to defend Hu .”

Joel Jimenez is a little strange: "But the coach arranged for you to defend Hu..."

"I know, I understand. But Joel, I'm in a little trouble, and I need to adjust... Don't worry, I'll replace you when I get it right."

"Okay..." Jimenez still agreed.

He agreed with some reluctance, because if he could choose, he didn't want to face Hu Lai directly in defense.

"Brothers!"

Paul Fortune patted him on the shoulder in thanks.

Hu Lai looked at Joel Jimenez standing beside him, he was a little puzzled and surprised at first, and then all these expressions gradually turned into smiles:

"Oh dude, you're here? Is this your new tactic? Let me guess... what's the name of this tactic? Um, 'Wheel Fighting'? Hey, why bother? Why don't you guys do it together? It'd be better to put you all together The full-backs and defensive midfielders are called. I want to play ten!"

He seamlessly switched from the French he spoke to Paul Fortune just now to the Catalan he spoke to the native Jimenez, as proficient as if he was a Catalan himself.

"Ha, just kidding, just kidding. 'I want to fight ten' is a meme, it doesn't mean that I really want to fight ten. Of course, if you really use ten people to defend me alone, then I can do it too hard challenge..."

A dumbfounded Joel Jimenez immediately understood why Paul switched places with him.

※※※

In front of the coaching bench of the home team on the sidelines, assistant coach Van Heuzen frowned and asked: "Why did Fortune change positions with Jimenez? We didn't have such an arrangement before the game."

Reilly Vicente looked at Joel Jimenez, who had a rather unlovely expression, and then shifted his gaze to Hou Lai beside him. It can be said to be "glamorous"...

So he said to his assistant: "Stein, Fortune reminded us that we should indeed adopt a rotation strategy to deal with Hu, and we cannot allow one person to defend against Hu throughout the game. Because the psychological pressure of defending him is great, No one can play 90 minutes under such pressure without making mistakes..."

Van Hoyzen suddenly realized.

※※※

It's not the first time Joel Jimenez has played against Hou Lai, and he has also heard stories about how broken Hou Lai's mouth can be.

But today he realized for the first time how powerful Hu Lai's verbal skills are.

The other party can actually chat with me non-stop!

Most people wonder why there are so many things to talk about?

Jimenez is also weird.

But Hu Lai can talk about anything, and he will naturally extend from one topic to another.

Jimenez had no idea what was going on in this kid's mind...

In addition, Hu Lai has another ability, that is, he can chat with Jimenez casually while still playing normally, as if he can say those words without passing through his mind at all...

Most people's brains can't think when they're talking. Therefore, leaders generally speak slowly, this is to think carefully while speaking, so as not to say wrong words.

There is a small experiment to prove this: when a person is on the phone, no matter what you hand him, he will pick it up without any doubt, because his brain is completely unaware of other things outside the moment. for analysis.

This is why Hu Lai's "Crosstalk Football" is so harmful.

Of course there are cases of spamming each other on the football field, but before Hu Lai, no one spammed while passing others, right?

However, Hu Lai can fight with the opponent's defender for a landing point and run, while talking non-stop.

Only now did Joel Jimenez know that Hu Lai didn’t keep saying that it wasn’t that he couldn’t, but that he didn’t want to…

"Hey, look at this ball, do you think I will go up to catch it?"

Hou Lai covered his mouth with one hand and asked Jimenez beside him.

At the same time, the Madrid Pirates team pushed the football up, and there were enough support points in the midfield, so Hu Lai was still at the forefront and did not retreat immediately to support.

After Jimenez didn't answer, Hu Lai suddenly accelerated and rushed to meet. Facing Joaquin Bella's pass, he didn't stop the ball and directly made it to Vukovic who was stretched horizontally.

Then he turned around, but did not run forward in a hurry, but grinned at Jimenez who followed him: "Ha, you guessed wrong, I came up to meet you!"

Jimenez would love to go to Paul Fortune now and switch back.

But he can't, because the Madrid Pirates' attack is not over yet.

Although Hu Lai didn't go up immediately, the Madrid Pirates' attack advanced very quickly.

Jimenez dropped Hou Lai and accelerated back to the defense. At the same time, he handed Hou Lai to the defensive midfielder Van der Stern.

When rushing back to the penalty area, Jimenez actually had a sense of pleasure...

But this comfortable feeling didn't last long.

Because Hu Lai also accelerated towards the door.

When he ran to the penalty spot, he turned suddenly and turned to the back point!

Immediately afterwards, Kamara made a cross!

Jimenez moved closer to Hou Lai for the first time, preparing to stick to him, preventing him from having space to shoot easily.

Paul Fortune in the middle jumped high, hoping to clear the football directly.

It's just that he failed.

The football went over his head and fell behind the goal!

Jimenez and Hou Lai ran to the landing point at the same time!

The former did not fight for the top, but squeezed his body towards Hu Lai.

Under his interference, Hu Lai pointed his head at the falling football while sprinting forward.

Jimenez's interference still had an effect, because Hu Lai didn't straighten up this time, but rubbed it a little.

The football was rubbed by him and fell straight down, but it happened to be kicked by his left foot!

The Catalan goalkeeper Schulman focused all his attention on Hou Lai's header, and his eyes were focused on the height of Hou Lai's head.

Unexpectedly, the football suddenly folded down and quickly entered the blind spot of his sight!

He just felt something flicker under the corner of his eye...

Immediately following the Sagrada Família there was a deafening din ~lightnovelpub.net~ with cheers, exclamations, screams and boos.

Hearing the sound, Schulman realized...he missed the ball!

PS, sorry, I'm going to ask for leave next.

I took my children to go camping in Luhu Lake yesterday, and I tossed and turned all night in the sweltering tent. After being woken up early this morning, I felt dizzy and dizzy, as if I had reversed height. I don't know if it's because I didn't sleep well, or because of my cervical spine...

Strenuously drove home, tidied up briefly, but I couldn't hold on any longer and needed a good rest.

Originally, I was camping outside yesterday, and I even took the time to write two chapters. Among them, the second chapter was not finished until after two o'clock in the morning...

Originally thought that there would be no need to delay the codeword, but it turned out to be completely finished today.

I can't code, so I have to go to bed early and lie down.

In the case of only three chapters of manuscripts saved, if I don’t code words for a day, my saved manuscripts will not be able to keep up.

I had no choice but to ask for leave temporarily, so that I could take care of my body.
