Chapter 1878 I am the most threatening

It cannot be said that Leroy Kuhn and Moritz Reiden are baseless superstitions.

Although Hu Lai comforted Di Kunzo for the first time.

But the Italian striker missed this opportunity, which did bring a lot of shock to the players of the Madrid Pirates.

Everyone's morale will inevitably be affected, and many people may still be replaying the scene just now in their minds.

That was an almost empty opportunity!

Ruhrlein's goalkeeper Koenigs had already turned back from the front point and made a save-he was completely deceived by Hou Lai's running position and leg swing, thinking that Hou Lai was about to shoot.

Throwing his center of gravity out, it is impossible to react to Di Kunzo's shot from the back point.

And Amorim was also firmly attracted by Hu Lai, and Di Kunzo was completely unguarded.

This could not have been a better opportunity.

If Di Kunzo can score this goal, the Madrid Pirates can immediately reduce the total score to one goal again, making Ruhr Rhine's goal just now meaningless.

"Di Kunzo probably didn't expect Hu Lai to miss the ball..."

By watching the replay footage just now, He Feng found that Di Kunzo was obviously not ready, and the movement of raising his feet was slow, so that the ball was in front of his feet, but his feet had not been fully raised, so Without kicking the right part, it is naturally impossible to hit the football into the goal.

"It's really unexpected that Hu Lai missed the ball, otherwise he couldn't fool Koenigs and Amorim. But in the final analysis, it is Di Kunzo's own problem." Yan Kang said.

"After all, as a striker, you must always be ready in front of the goal. You can't take it for granted that Hou Lai will shoot every time because he has scored a lot of goals."

He Feng agreed: "This also shows the gap between Di Kunzo and Hu Lai, why Hu Lai can score so many goals in a season, because when every scoring opportunity arises, he is ready. This It has greatly improved his scoring efficiency."

"I think after the end of this season, the Madrid Pirates should consider bringing in another striker..." Yan Kang shook his head. "When Hu Lai fell into a scoring drought, Di Kunzo failed to stand up. After Carey left, the Madrid Pirates all relied on Hou Lai to score goals alone. There are still hidden dangers... Di Kunzo missed this game once Excellent opportunity, and the goal conceded by the Madrid Pirates in the first half is also related to Di Kunzo, his performance today is really not good!"

※※※

After Di Kunzo missed the opportunity, the game continued. The Madrid Pirates are still on the offensive.

But they were offside twice in four minutes, once by Houlai and once by Di Kunzo.

It was clear that everyone was impatient whether it was passing the ball or running.

Fortunately, after Parotti noticed the strangeness of the players, he immediately made adjustments.

He used the team's first substitution spot.

The Mexican high center Sanabria Ruiz was used to replace the underperforming Daniel Di Kunzo.

When Kuhn saw the substitution, he said to his assistant coach Moritz Reiden: "The pirates are going berserk, and the critical moment has come."

After speaking, he got up and walked to the sidelines, gesturing to his players.

Ruhr Rhine switched to defensive counterattack!

If you can't stand it, you will lose everything.

If you can withstand...Ruer Rhine will reach the final of this season's Champions League!

After making adjustments, Kuhn did not return to the coaching bench, but stood on the sidelines.

He could no longer sit in a chair and direct the game as he and his team faced the final judgment of fate.

※※※

The Madrid Pirates who replaced Ruiz played more simply and directly, and at the same time the offensive was more fierce.

As Kuhn expected, Ruhr Rhein's defensive pressure increased sharply.

If you continue to press the previous high position, Ruhr Rhein's defense line that is riddled with holes may really be scored twice by the Madrid Pirates in a short period of time...

The Pirates of Madrid found Ruiz with a cross from the side. Ruiz leaped high in the opponent's penalty area, attracting all the central defenders of Ruhr Rhein to compete with him, and then took advantage of the header to put the football to Hu Lai who went forward.

Hu Lai opened his legs and was about to shoot, but was cleared by John Setter, who was back on defense.

After completing this defense, John Setter pointed to Hu Lai and shouted to everyone: "Don't relax your defense on Hu Lai! He is the most threatening one!"

Hu Lai who was pointed at immediately nodded and said, "He is right, I am indeed the most threatening!"

John Seth, who had already turned around, heard Hu Lai say this, and suddenly turned around and looked back at him.

Hu Lai, who was watched, spread his hands and asked back: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

John Setter grinned and withdrew his puzzled gaze.

Based on his understanding of Hu Lai, he thought that after he said that, Hu Lai would deny it.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai actually followed his words...

This man doesn't play his cards right!

etc?

When he said that, didn't he want us to stare at him when we were defending, and ignore the other Madrid Pirates players?

Seth looked around and found that the players of the Madrid Pirates were indeed very close to Hou Lai, obviously intending to get closer.

Hu Lai noticed his movement and asked, "Where are you looking? The most threatening person is me."

Seth acted as if he hadn't heard it, and reminded his teammates loudly: "Also pay attention to other pirate players!"

Then he heard Hu Lai's sneer from behind: "Listen to what you said before and after, John. You will confuse your teammates!"

Seth still ignored him, without turning his head.

※※※

"Hu Lai and Seth seem to be talking about something, with smiles on their faces. From this point of view, although the score is two goals behind, and teammates also missed a good opportunity. But at least Hu Lai's mentality has not been affected..."

Madrid Pirates are still behind in the score, He Feng can only try to find something positive

The TV broadcast gave another shot of Li Qingqing in the VIP box.

As Hu Lai's girlfriend, she has a slightly serious expression.

"I don't know what Li Qingqing is thinking at this moment..." Yan Kang said.

Li Qingqing actually didn't think about anything, she just focused on watching the game.

On the other hand, Song Jiajia who was next to her suddenly covered her mouth and said, "With Ruhrlein taking it back, the restricted area is full of people, leaving less and less room for Hu Lai..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingqing turned to look at him.

"What?" he asked.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered high school..." Li Qingqing laughed.

※※※

"Hey, Li Qingqing actually laughed too?"

Because the camera has been on Li Qingqing during this period, He Feng and Yan Kang are also paying attention to Li Qingqing's performance.

When they saw Li Qingqing who suddenly smiled, they all exclaimed.

"The current situation on the field is still not conducive to the Madrid Pirates. So why is Li Qingqing laughing? Did Song Jiajia say anything to him? At this moment, the two are still in the mood to chat. Does it mean that they are very fond of Hu Lai? confidence?"

As the boss of Hu Lai's agency, Song Jiajia is naturally a face that both commentators and fans know.

※※※

"High school?" Song Jiajia frowned, not knowing why. "What happened to high school?"

"In high school, you were still a ball blind who didn't understand anything. How could you say what you just said?"

"Hey..." Song Jiajia didn't expect Li Qingqing to mention this.

Li Qingqing did not continue to tease Song Jiajia, but followed his topic just now and said: "There is really no space in the restricted area, so it is difficult for Hu Lai to get a chance. Do you think so, old Song?"

"Isn't it? Isn't this common sense? Qingqing, don't think of me as a football rookie anymore! I really didn't understand football before, but I do now! Look, that's all..."

Song Jiajia pointed to Ruhr Rhine's penalty area on the court.

"Because Ruerlein shrinks and defends against counterattacks, now they are full of people in the penalty area. Not only Ruerlein people, but also pirates. How can there be any free time? If there is no free time, where will Hu Lai get a chance? Didn't you say Is he particularly good at finding vacancies? Then there are no vacancies now, how can he find them?"

Following what he said, Li Qingqing nodded frequently, and when he finished speaking, Li Qingqing nodded vigorously again: "You are right, Lao Song. But the problem is that Hu Lai is not the same as Hu Lai before."

"ah?"

"In the past, Hu Lai really relied heavily on the ability to run around. But now he is not the one who can only run around to 'find leaks'. If there is no space, he can't find opportunities. He can create opportunities by himself."

"Create opportunities by yourself?" Song Jiajia's tone was full of uncertainty and doubt.

Li Qingqing nodded: "Yes."

※※※

The TV broadcast did not stay on Li Qingqing for a long time, so many conversations between her and Song Jiajia were actually not captured.

Now everyone's sight and attention are back on the court following the broadcast camera.

The Madrid Pirates couldn't attack for a long time, but Ruhr Rhine's defensive counterattack was very successful.

In the fifty-eighth minute, the Madrid Pirates failed to attack and were counterattacked by Ruhr Rhine.

Edman singled out Danny Drew and Moreno in the frontcourt, protected the football, waited for his teammates to come up, and then passed the football to John Setter.

The latter swung his foot and shot the goal, which was saved from the bottom line by Hewell.

Ruhr Rhein also won a corner.

They didn't hit the high ball directly in front of the corner kick, even though they had high point players like Edman, Amorim and Bowman.

Instead, he made a long pass directly to the middle circle.

Then back and forth and back, slowly pass.

Hopefully the Madrid Pirates players will come out of the box so their defense will have more space.

If the Madrid Pirates don't make the rob, then Ruhr Rhine is not in a hurry, they can take the opportunity to delay the time.

Anyway, now that they are leading by two goals, they are not the ones to worry about.

Sure enough, the Madrid Pirates pressed forward collectively, and Hou Lai and Ruiz rushed up to try to grab the ball.

Then the players of the Ruhr Rhine used a pass to mobilize and make a switchback run.

After passing for a while, they played the ball wide and played a direct cross to find the high point in front of the goal, Janus Erdmann.

The latter jumped up in front of the goal to compete with Danny Drew.

Drew was forced by him to have no choice but to push the football over the baseline again and gave Ruhrlein a corner kick...

※※※

"During this period of time, Ruhr Rhine's offensive threat was even greater. The two-goal lead in the total score allowed them to advance, attack, retreat, and defend, and their mentality was more stable...The physical fitness of the pirate players also began to have problems. When they were unable to maintain a high-pressure attack , and how to solve the gap between the two balls?"

He Feng's tone was full of depression and pain, as well as a little despair.

"It's almost done... Do you really expect my son Kerry to be in the audience? The most important thing is not to get hurt..."

When Hu Lixin heard his wife beside him say this, he turned his head and took a look.

"Why?" The wife stared back, "I'm not right?"

Hu Lixin quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes."

※※※

When the Madrid Pirates began to attack, Ruhr Rhine quickly retreated, just like the ebb tide.

This is the complete opposite of their previous high-position press performance, and they are like two teams.

"I really have to admire Kuhn." Sitting on the coach's bench, Parotti covered his mouth with his hand and said to the assistant coaches beside him. "You can switch between two completely different tactics. They must have put a lot of effort into this training in the last two weeks."

"Sir, now is not the time to praise others. We are still two goals behind..." The second assistant coach Enzo Naher looked dignified.

"I can't help it. People really did a good job, after all, we have to admit that others have done well..." Parotti didn't care.

First assistant coach Jesús Valentine asked: "Our fitness has started to decline, what if we can't score before then?"

"Then slow down..." Parotti stopped before he finished speaking, with a thoughtful expression on his face. Soon he shook his head and denied what he just said.

"No, it's still the same. It's useless to slow down when you are two goals behind. Because the opponent wants us to do it. There is only one way for us in this game, and that is to attack. Nothing else but attack hard. Think. If you can’t win, you have to fight until the end, even if you lose in the end. But if you don’t fight, you are really dead.”

The two assistant coaches stopped talking, and they also deeply felt this helplessness.

Originally, Hu Lai and the whole team were in better condition than in the first round, but Ruerrhein's state and performance in this game were also very good... Although the head coach of Ruerrhein spoke a little crazy before the game, it seemed completely It's like not taking the Madrid Pirates seriously.

But as soon as the actual game started, they knew that they were deceived by Kuhn's statement.

It's not that the opponent doesn't pay much attention to this game, but it's so important that they have to play tricks before the game.

※※※

On the pitch, the Madrid Pirates' offense progressed smoothly because Ruhr Rhein performed a defensive counterattack instead of a high press.

They didn't encounter relatively tenacious resistance until they were near the 30-meter line of the Ruhr Rhine.

Vukovic passes the ball to Brynjorsson on the wing.

Tonini slips in from behind Brynjolfsson.

The Iceland international has passed the football to the Brazilian again.

When Tonini received the ball, it was Rührlein's right-back Sene who stood in front of him and prevented him from breaking into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Ruhr Rhine's defensive players and the Madrid Pirates' offensive players are completely one-on-one.

Noah Bowman held off Ruiz and Jose Amorim followed Houlay.

Ruiz goes to the middle.

Hu Lai ran forward and took a stand.

Amorim followed him closely, using his advantage in physical strength to withstand him.

In the end, the two fell into a "wrestling" at the previous point.

Hu Lai leaned back hard, while Amorim pushed forward hard.

At the same time, Hou Lai also raised his hand to ask Tonini for the ball.

Tonini made a gesture to pass directly with his left foot, but Sené was unmoved.

So Tonini buckled the football to the right with his left foot, as if making adjustments.

But suddenly he pushed the football in a straight line with his right foot and passed it to Hu Lai who asked for the ball in the front point.

Holly catches the ball with his back.

The wrestling between the two of them also became intense—Amorim almost hugged him with both hands.

Under his interference, although Hu Lai caught the ball, he was completely unable to threaten the goal.

Ruiz was closing in on him, trying to support him.

In addition, Vukovic also inserted into the penalty area.

Tonini, who passed the ball to him, quickly dodged and ran to the baseline, so that if Hu Lai passed the football to him, he would be able to run near the baseline and make a cross.

But Hu Lai didn't pass on to anyone.

He stepped on the football and rubbed it forward, as if he was going to pass the ball to Vukovic or Ruiz, and then suddenly pulled the football behind with the sole of his shoe!

At the same time, he shrank, turned around from Amorim's armpit and slipped past!

Amorim did not expect that Hu Lai's movements were so decisive and flexible, and the ball under his feet was extremely smooth, without wasting time at all.

His arms were still around Hu Lai, which was originally intended to restrict Hu Lai's movements, but now it caused him great trouble - because instead, his whole body was thrown off balance by Hu Lai's turn!

He turned over and fell to the ground!

Hu Lai has already completed his turn and swung his left foot to shoot directly!

On the line of the small penalty area, he suddenly turned and shot, and he hit hard!

Although the goalkeeper Koenigs is close at hand, facing this shot, he can only wave his arms reflexively...the ball is not touched at all!

The football flew into the goal from above his head!

PS, Argentina is really...

This is really not my beacon!

How many people in the world could have guessed that Argentina would lose to Saudi Arabia?

This is the super upset in the World Cup!

But it's just a game~lightnovelpub.net~ It can't explain too many problems.

Don't rush to badmouth Argentina. In the 1990 World Cup, Argentina lost their first group match to Cameroon with Uncle Mira, and didn't they also make it to the final?

In the 2010 World Cup, Spain lost to Switzerland in the first round of the group stage. Isn't it the same as winning the cup in the end?

So the result of the first round of the group stage does not completely mean that Argentina is finished.

I believe that this failure is a good thing for Argentina, which can make them realize the problem and make adjustments and changes.

There is still a chance!

Here are the predictions for today's game:

Morocco lost to Croatia by one goal;

The German team beat Japan by one goal;

Spain beat Costa Rica by three goals;

Belgium beat Canada by four goals!

Just sauce!
