Chapter 1687

After returning from the International Champions Cup in the United States, the Madrid Pirates took a short rest and set off from Madrid to Budapest, the capital of Hungary.

There they will welcome their opponents in the UEFA Super Cup, the Sevilla Navigators, who are also the Spanish team.

The Sevilla Voyagers finished sixth in La Liga last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League, instead qualifying for the Europa League.

Although they are submissive in the Champions League, in the Europa League, the Sevilla Navigator can strike hard.

They once again showed why the Europa League is called the "Voyager's Cup" and went all the way to win the Europa League.

They will naturally also meet the Champions League champions Madrid Pirates in the UEFA Super Cup.

When seeing this opponent, many people thought, "Just award the European Super Cup directly to the Madrid Pirates!"

I think this game is over.

Everyone knows the result of the Seville navigator encountering the Madrid pirates every time.

To be precise, everyone knows what happens to Hu Lai every time they meet.

After all, it is a "famous place".

With Hu Lai here, can the Sevilla Navigator still win this game?

The game has not yet started, and there are already various optimistic voices on the Internet.

There is even a joke that I don’t know whether it is a made-up joke or a real thing-someone posted a screenshot of a news on the Internet. The news said that the Madrid Pirates defeated the Sevilla Navigator and won the 2029 UEFA Super Cup.

Even before the game was played, the news of the Madrid Pirates' victory came out first! outrageous...

For a while, many Seville Navigator fans shouted "shady".

※※※

Although everyone was optimistic before the game, the actual situation in the game was completely different from what everyone imagined.

The Madrid Pirates, who ranked 442 in this game, struggled very much against the Sevilla Navigators.

Hu Lai started the game, but he failed to reflect his "navigator's famous" demeanor.

The Pirates failed to score a goal in the first half, but instead allowed the Voyagers to take the lead.

During the intermission, Parotti changed the lineup, from 442 to 433, removed the striker Danielle Di Kunzo who started with Hou Lai, and replaced him with Joaquin Bella.

Joaquin Bella and Ramirez sit in the midfield, and Vukovic is slightly forward and is responsible for organizing the attack.

On the front line, Hou Lai is alone in the center, with Tonini on the left and Kamara on the right.

The Madrid Pirates reverted to the formation they used against Albania Munich in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, which was originally intended to strengthen the defense.

But now Parrotti wants to use this lineup to attack.

The Madrid Pirates will have to get used to how they play without Maxi Carey.

Vukovic has to take on more important work, and Joaquin Bella has to grow up quickly.

Although the lineup and tactics have been changed, the performance of the Madrid Pirates has not improved immediately, and the team is still struggling.

On the contrary, the Sevilla navigator threatened the goal of the Madrid pirates many times, and almost expanded the score several times.

Until the 69th minute, the Madrid Pirates won a frontcourt free kick.

The team's free kick master Tonini stood in front of the ball and took this slightly left free kick.

He kicked a very high-quality elevator ball with his left foot.

After the football crossed the wall, it fell rapidly, and it got into the goal before the Sevilla Navigator goalkeeper Antonio Gacua threw it!

The Madrid Pirates finally equalized the score!

Next, both sides had some chances, but neither could end the game.

The game was therefore dragged into overtime.

The European Super Cup chooses a single-game decision mode. If the game is tied after 90 minutes, then another 30 minutes of overtime will be played.

Even if the game is tied in overtime, it will be a penalty shootout.

The Seville Navigators, who were always beaten by the Madrid Pirates in the league before, cheered up this time.

It turned out to be inseparable from the Madrid pirates.

However, when they just started overtime, they encountered a slap in the face.

Hou Lai, who was restricted for 90 minutes, finally caught a mistake in the Sevilla Navigator's defense line, and made a quick shot in front of the goal!

Although the goalkeeper of the Sevilla Voyagers, Gacua, fell to the ground and made a save, but Hu Lai shot very stealthily, and the football moved forward very fast.

Even though Gakua's leg touched the ball, the football bounced into the goal!

"Wow! It's not easy! Hu Lai finally scored a goal!" Shen Lang, who commented on the game, let out a long breath.

Since the start of the game, Hu Lai has been unable to score for a long time, and he has been explaining to the audience, because Hu Lai's performance last season was really scary, so the current opponents have done everything they can to stop Hu Lai.

In order to prevent Hou Lai from scoring, three players of the Sevilla Navigator received yellow cards on Hou Lai in this game, and another player received a yellow card on Kamara, which was also related to Hou Lai—because he was wrong Kamara fouled, the French winger could send the ball to Hou Lai in the penalty area...

"Although they were closely defended by their opponents, Hu Lai was able to seize the opportunity. To be fair, the defense of the Sevilla Voyagers played quite well. But they still made mistakes. It's not their fault, Any team will make mistakes. It's just that Hu Lai is really too good at capturing opportunities..."

Shen Lang said with emotion.

"Defending Holley is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world because you can't make mistakes, absolutely absolutely can't make mistakes. But who doesn't make mistakes?"

After scoring the goal, Hu Lai happily hugged and celebrated with his teammates.

He doesn't seem to care that as a "Sevilla navigator", he only scored one goal in this game.

Of course, he only brought up the stalk of fame when it was beneficial to him.

It would be nice to win against Navigator now, how could he still care about how many he scored in a game?

※※※

After Hu Lai scored, the Madrid Pirates took advantage of the situation to shrink their defense.

Anyway, their 433 was originally used to strengthen defense.

Joaquin Bella and Juan Ramirez blocked the midfield, and Vukovic also had some defensive ability.

Kamara and Tonini moved back, from winger to winger, midfielder from three to five, and formation from 433 to 451.

The Madrid Pirates are not a good defensive team, but that doesn't mean their defense is bad.

After completing the defensive adjustment tactically, the Madrid Pirates withstood the attack of the Seville Navigator abruptly.

Hou Lai was substituted in the 112th minute.

Eight minutes later the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The Madrid Pirates defeated the Sevilla Navigators 2:1 and won the UEFA Super Cup!

"The game is over! Congratulations to the pirates! They won again! Although the process was very difficult, the end result is good... this is enough! Pirates of Madrid, the king of Europe!"

Shen Lang is very excited, because another championship has been added to Hu Lai's honor book, which will help him win the European Golden Globe Award, and even the World Footballer selected at the end of this year.

In order to win these two awards, it is natural that any honor must be firmly held in one's own hands, so that everyone's mouths can be blocked. With the most undisputed attitude, he won the highest honor of the world football individual award.

Can't he see that the Madrid Pirates are having a tough game?

Of course I saw it.

But both the Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year depend on the results. As long as there are enough champions and enough influence, it will be difficult for others to compete with Hu Lai.

The European Golden Globe Awards will be announced soon, and the World Footballer is still half a year away. In the remaining six months, in addition to the European Super Cup, Shen Lang hopes that Hu Lai can also help the Madrid Pirates win the Club World Cup at the end of the year.

With all the championships he can win this year, he doesn't believe that there will be nothing wrong with the selection of the World Footballer of the Year.

The Spanish commentator Sanchez is neutral ~lightnovelpub.net~ but cares more about what is behind the game.

He commented objectively:

"Although the Sevilla Voyagers lost the Super Cup, their performance in the game was remarkable. It can be said that it was an honor to lose. Conversely, the Madrid Pirates won the European Super Cup, but their performance was outstanding. Unsatisfactory. Facing the Voyagers, who were easily defeated before, it was very difficult for them to win this time-this incident in itself is enough to explain many problems. It can be seen that the league is about to start, and the team's tactical play Not yet fully finalized. After Maxi Carey left, the Pirates still need an adaptation period. It’s just that this adaptation period should not be too long, otherwise both the King of Madrid and the Catalan United will be watching from behind...

"If this game is not a cup game, but a league game, it means that Hu was defended by Sevilla Navigator and failed to score. I think it is not good news for the Pirates. The coaches of other teams must be paying attention to this game, maybe they can find a way and confidence to beat the Pirates from it."

When he said this, on the podium, the Madrid Pirates players bouncing around the trophy, and the gold medal hanging on their chest fluttered up and down, constantly reflecting dazzling light.

Everyone had a smile on their face.
