Chapter 1815

During the handshake before the game, Chen Xingyi saw Mauro Albertazzi.

The talented Italian goalkeeper has ridiculously large hands.

Chen Xingyi guessed that he might be able to cover his entire face with one hand, which should be part of Albertazzi's talent.

It was these big hands that firmly caught many **** that were shot at his goal.

During the handshake session, although Chen Xingyi looked at Albertazzi a few more times, the latter's eyes did not stop at the Chinese player in front of him.

Although there are already many Chinese players active in the European arena, there is only one person who can make him care.

Even throwing away nationality and expanding the scope of selection to the entire European football world, there is only one person who can make Albertazzi care so much.

Because that guy scored the most goals on him.

Only he is the most special one.

Apart from him, Albertazzi treated all opponents equally.

His hand just lightly touched Chen Xingyi's hand, then let go, and reached out to the next Athletic Amsterdam player.

Chen Xingyi didn't look back at him, but went on to the next Turin Bulls player.

“…the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match between the Torino Bulls and Sporting Amsterdam is about to start. Despite the ups and downs and poor performances in the previous league, the coach Munster still chooses to trust him. But we also need to know that, For Chen Xingyi, the confidence and patience of the head coach are limited. If he cannot quickly adjust his state and show a convincing performance again, his position in the league may not be guaranteed. It's..."

The Chinese commentator introduced this to the fans in front of the TV.

The commentators for this game were not the well-known He Feng and Yan Kang—they went to commentate the Madrid Pirates' away game against the Rotterdam Elite.

That game received more attention and was also broadcast live on the free sports channel.

The match between the Turin Bulls and Athletic Amsterdam was placed on the paid-for Fengyun Football Channel.

Although all Chinese players participated in the UEFA Champions League, the treatment they enjoyed was not the same.

This can't be helped, the fans want to watch Hu Lai's game more.

On the one hand, Hu Lai is now the most famous and most prestigious.

On the other hand, everyone feels that watching Hu Lai's game is guaranteed to see a goal.

As for watching Chen Xingyi's game...he is really not in a good state recently, and it is very likely that he will not enjoy any pleasure watching his game.

No goals, no assists, mediocre performance, and then what's so good about being replaced early?

Naturally, there is no need for such a game to be placed on a free channel with the widest audience.

Except for Chen Xingyi's own fans, I am afraid that everyone will vote with their feet and choose to watch the match between the Madrid Pirates and the Rotterdam Elite.

※※※

Sitting on the bed and leaning against the head of the bed, Chen Xingyi's mother, Zhuang Jianhong, yawned big.

The central heating in Tangdu city in late February has not stopped, which made it easier for her to get out of bed in the middle of the night.

But still sleepy.

She turned around and picked up the thermos cup from the bedside table, took a big sip of strong tea to dilute her sleepiness. Only then did he refocus his gaze on the TV screen on the opposite wall.

She was listening to the commentator analyzing Chen Xingyi's current predicament to domestic fans.

※※※

Chen Hantang was sitting on the sofa, with his legs spread apart, his feet on tiptoe, his elbows on his knees, his hands crossed, his thumbs against his cheeks, covering the part below his nose between his hands Down.

Ever since Chen Xingyi followed his teammates out of the tunnel, he has been watching the live broadcast in this posture.

He could only understand a fraction of the babble of the Dutch TV commentator.

Even so, he heard the commentator mention his son's name several times.

It should be referring to his performance after the new year.

The legs on tiptoe were trembling slightly, and even Chen Hantang's vision was shaking along with it.

He had to put his feet flat, changed his posture and continued to watch the game.

※※※

Zhuang Jianhong yawned again.

Although her son was a famous star player in the national high school football session in high school, even though her husband is an avid fan.

But she rarely watches football games.

Even now, she has little interest in football.

Her husband had instilled a lot of football-related things in her before, and she didn't remember much.

I remember the phrase "The Champions League is the most technical football game in the world today".

Because she was surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Isn't it the World Cup?"

Then my husband continued to introduce her a lot of knowledge about the World Cup and the Champions League.

It's a pity that she has forgotten all about it now.

Just remember one sentence: "The Champions League is the most technical football game in the world today."

She couldn't understand anything about the highest technical level, she just thought this competition...is not good.

It's been almost 20 minutes since we played, and the score is still 0:0.

Not only was the score 0:0, but the scene wasn't pretty either. Both sides didn't have many shots.

Although Zhuang Jianhong doesn't know football, he can tell that whether it's the Torino Bulls or Athletic Amsterdam, it seems that the ball will be lost after a few passes.

And the game is always interrupted by the whistle, someone fell to the ground for a while, and the football flew out of the line for a while... Anyway, most of the game time was stopped and waited for the game to resume.

Such a game, even Zhuang Jianhong, who basically doesn't understand football, can see that it is not good.

As for her son's performance... Zhuang Jianhong thinks it should not be considered good, because he neither scored nor assisted, and didn't even take a shot.

Such a performance can't be considered good anyway, can it?

"Fuck, this Italian team is a real dog!"

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Hantang cursed while changing positions.

Although he can't understand the Dutch commentary very well, he can fully see what tactics the Turin Bulls are playing in this game without the commentary.

It is nothing more than frequent interruptions of the game, so that Athletic Amsterdam cannot smoothly advance the offense.

On the one hand, it prevents the game from following the familiar rhythm of the Amsterdam Athletic players. On the other hand, it can also disrupt the mentality of the Amsterdam Athletic players and prevent them from performing normally.

But the problem is that such tactics are generally used in away games.

And this is the home court of the Turin Bulls themselves!

That's why Chen Hantang felt that the Turin Bull was a real dog.

They simply don't want to fight Amsterdam Athletic in a dignified manner.

With Caesar getting older and his state declining seriously, he can hardly take on the heavy burden of offense, resulting in a sharp drop in the team's offensive firepower. The only thing the Turin Bulls can rely on is defense.

And the defense naturally does everything possible to make the offensive side play uncomfortable.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, the Turin Bulls struggled a lot. In the end, they just overwhelmed Westphalia in the Bundesliga, becoming second in the group and getting the right to qualify.

After entering the knockout stage of the game, it is a major benefit to the Turin Bulls.

First of all, the advantage of away goals was cancelled, which has a positive impact on the Turin Bulls, whose offensive firepower is already weak.

Anyway, their offensive firepower is weak, and it is difficult to score away goals.

Canceled away goals, only look at the total score, as long as the total score is the same, it will enter overtime. If there is still a tie in overtime, it will be a penalty shootout.

This is all the more favorable for the Torino Bulls because they have a top goalkeeper in Mauro Albertazzi.

Now that the Turin Bulls are adopting such a negative and ugly tactic, Chen Xingyi also loses room to play.

It was only then that Chen Hantang cursed.

Then at this moment, he saw the subtitles at the bottom of the screen:

Rotterdam Elite 0:1 Madrid Pirates

Scorer: Hu Lai

※※※

As soon as Chen Xingyi received the ball, he faced two players from the Turin Bulls.

"Chen Xingyi catches the ball. The Torino Bulls come up with two players, let's see what he's going to do..."

Chen Xingyi took advantage of the fact that the opponent had not formed a siege, and tried to take the football out from between the two of them.

But just as he stabbed the football away, he was knocked to the ground by the Turin Bulls midfielder Kramenini who was defending him, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Jianhong couldn't help but patted the quilt covering his legs hard, feeling sorry for his son.

The commentator on the TV also said: "Chen Xingyi tried to break through with the ball, but was blocked by a foul by Kramenini who came up, alas..."

At this moment ~lightnovelpub.net~ a subtitle appeared at the bottom of the TV screen, and the narrator, who was still weak at first, suddenly cheered up like a chicken blood:

"...Oh? There was a goal in another game! The Rotterdam elite fell behind the Madrid Pirates 0:1 at home, and the one who scored the goal was undoubtedly Hou Lai! Ha! This is his twelfth goal in the Champions League this season Goal! It's amazing! Currently Hu Lai is far ahead in the Champions League scorer list, the most suspenseful thing in the Champions League this season is who can get the top scorer!"

His voice was an octave higher than it had been a few seconds earlier, excitedly announcing the good news to the crowd watching the Torino Bulls-Amsterdam Athletic match.

Zhuang Jianhong in front of the TV listened to the excited voice of the commentator and said in his heart:

Oh, it turns out that you can also be very passionate. I thought lukewarm water was your commentary style...

PS, in the days of the single update, the average growth rate is gratifying, which makes me a little bit reluctant... Haha, just kidding.

Using the single update during this period, I finally increased the number of manuscripts to ten chapters after a long absence.

So starting from tomorrow, double updates will be resumed!
