Chapter 1881 In a Nightmare

When Hou Lai assisted Camara to equalize the total score, the coach of the Madrid Pirates was elated.

All the coaches huddled together.

After they withdrew from this extreme excitement, the professionalism of the coach made them start to think rationally and calmly about a very important question:

"What next?"

The first assistant coach Valentin and the second assistant coach Nahel both set their sights on the head coach Parotti.

Parotti said before that he could not be slow and must continue to attack, because the Madrid Pirates were always behind.

what about now?

Now that the Madrid Pirates have equalized the total score, can't they slow down?

Parotti, who was in the focus of his eyes, was indeed considering this issue.

This is not a decision that is taken lightly like before.

Before, they were behind anyway, and there was no need to consider other options besides offense.

The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, the Madrid pirates are barefoot.

But now the Madrid Pirates put their shoes on - they tied the score.

Now that you are no longer barefoot, you will naturally have concerns.

The Madrid Pirates who equalized the total score did have more options.

For individuals, more choice and the power to choose is a good thing.

But for the team, sometimes having the right to choose may not be a good thing, because it will cause hesitation.

Hesitating is never a good thing in football.

Continue to attack or slow down?

According to common sense, Parotti actually has nothing to hesitate.

The team's physical fitness is not enough to support them to continue playing like this, of course they have to slow down the pace, otherwise they will collapse.

Slow down the pace and shrink the defense, even if you can't score the rest of the game. But as long as it can be defended, it is guaranteed that Ruhr Rhine will not score.

That would send the game into overtime.

Speaking of overtime...

Parotti was about to frown.

If the Madrid Pirates are in a state of exhaustion after 70 minutes of mad attack, they must slow down. Would it be enough to play another 30 minutes of overtime to have physical fitness?

If physical fitness is considered, then the team should strive to end the game within regular time.

But to end the game within regular time, the Madrid Pirates should continue to attack while their morale is high, so that they have the possibility and hope of scoring.

It's just that even if the Madrid Pirates attack with all their strength, they may not be able to score a goal. Maybe they will give the opponent a sneak attack...

As the head coach of the team, Parrotti has to choose carefully now, he himself is the kind of head coach who is cautious. It is not easy to suddenly become an offensive maniac in this game.

If he was allowed to make a choice based on his past experience, he would choose to slow down in all likelihood.

But as long as Parotti has this idea in his mind, another idea will pop up, reminding him not to fall into the shackles of his own inherent experience.

What happened to the difficulties encountered by the Madrid Pirates before?

In the final analysis, isn't it because he habitually wants to be stable?

After losing Juan Ramirez, he still wanted to stabilize the defense, but instead ruined the offense.

After losing 0:2 away to Ruhr Rhein, he learned from the pain, worked hard to overcome the weaknesses in his character, and came up with a crazy version of the Madrid Pirates.

First take the league opponent Turias for a small test, and found that the effect is good, so I firmly decided to use the same tactic in this Champions League game.

Although he conceded two goals in the game, the team scored four goals. Overall, his tactical adjustment was successful.

Since it is successful...why not persist?

Sometimes, Parotti felt that his enemy was not Ruhr Rhine or Leroy Kuhn, but himself.

He is always trying to overcome his habitual thoughts.

Now when the habitual thoughts come out of his mind again, he knows what choice he should make.

"Attack, continue."

He said to the assistant coaches.

After listening to the first assistant coach Valentin, he turned around and strode to the sidelines, gesturing to the Madrid Pirates players who had returned to their own half.

Tell them the latest decision of the head coach.

Nothing changes.

※※※

Kamara, who had just walked back to the half, couldn't help covering his mouth and said to Hu Lai after seeing the gesture of assistant coach Valentine:

"Has our head coach called Clark?"

When Hu Lai heard this, he was happy.

Because he said similar things to Li Qingqing.

It seems that he is worthy of being an apprentice taught by himself, and his thoughts are highly synchronized with his master's.

"Isn't that good? Keep attacking, now it's just an equalizer, you still have to overtake." He said to Kamara. "The old man also understands this truth. And the reason why he is so persistent is because he trusts us. If he doesn't trust us, how dare he continue to attack?"

Kamala nodded.

From his personal growth experience, it feels really good to be trusted.

"Ismael, after the tee off, let's fight Seth together."

Kamala wondered why Hu Lai said so suddenly: "Why?"

"Maybe I can grab the ball directly to counterattack."

Kamara remembered what Hou Lai said when he passed by Seth after he scored just now, and he suddenly realized: "OK, no problem."

※※※

Looking at Hu Lai and Kamara who were talking and laughing, John Seth was still a little bit uneasy.

He is the core of the midfielder in Ruhr Rhein, and he is quite a stable figure. In front of Edman, he has played the role of "intimate big brother" for a long time. If Edman has any mentality problems, he still has to ask him to solve them.

But when he faced Hu Lai, he was always easily broken by Hu Lai.

And it's very inexplicable.

He thought he didn't provoke Hu Lai, but Hu Lai took the initiative to provoke him...

I just said that he is the most threatening person-isn't this normal?

The result is endless.

After Hu Lai scored the goal, he taunted himself, and now he taunted himself after assisting his teammates to score!

Seth really wanted to ask Hu Lai: Didn't we two have any grievances before? Brother, what did I do wrong before? You tell me, I can change...really!

What is the saddest thing?

After the two-goal lead is gone, Hu Lai's yin and yang will have to be accepted!

※※※

With the whistle of the referee, Edman passed the football back to John Setter, and then ran forward in the first place.

While he was running towards the Madrid Pirates' half, Hou Lai, who was standing at the junction of the center line and the center circle, also rushed into the Ruhr Rhine's half.

Straight to John Setter!

It stands to reason that Seth has faced this situation many times.

In the past, as the team's first catcher after the kickoff, he knew what to do.

Most of the time he will choose to turn around and pass the football back, and very few times, he will directly pass the opponent player who comes up to grab him.

But this time, he neither turned around to pass back, nor passed Hu Lai.

He turned around, but he still controlled the football at his feet.

Then put Hu Lai behind him to protect the football.

Then it stands to reason that he should pass the football out.

but no.

John Setter also controls the football.

Let Hu Lai keep trying to steal the ball behind him, but he just missed the pass.

No one knows what he thinks.

Just after John Setter charged at Holly, Kamara charged up too.

Then, while Seth was concentrating on guarding against Hu Lai, he stretched out his foot from the side and stabbed the football that Seth had worked so hard to protect!

"Seth lost the ball!"

With the exclamation of the commentator, Seth tried to fight back, and then he kicked Kamara down.

A crisp whistle sounded.

He fouled!

Seth looked at Kamara who fell to the ground in shock, and didn't even bother to defend himself.

He seemed to wake up from a nightmare, realizing what a serious mistake he had just made.

Fortunately, he used a foul to prevent the Madrid Pirates from counterattacking, which can be regarded as "remedial work".

Otherwise, he will really become the "sinner" of the team...

Hu Lai went up to pull Kamala up: "It's a pity, he actually fouled the first time..."

"Nonsense. They are not stupid." Kamala shook her head. "If you lose the ball and don't foul, wait for me to do too much?"

"Don't brag, Ismail, you can't beat people in one go. The area around the Ruhr-Rhin restricted area is full of people. You can't survive one or two, but you can't survive three or four."

Kamala really wanted to say "I can", but he was afraid that Hu Lai would really let him live. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he didn't succeed? So he wisely kept silent.

Seth saw the two people communicating in French beside him. Although he couldn't understand what they were saying, seeing their expressions of shaking their heads and sighing, he should be feeling sorry.

This is the only thing Seth can be thankful for.

Although the ball was given up to the pirates, at least they did not let the opponent directly threaten the goal.

He admitted that he was a little distracted just now, but this scare can be regarded as a wake-up call for him.

There will be no more in the future!

※※※

The Madrid Pirates won a free kick in midfield by pressing aggressively.

Ruhr Rhine is naturally in his own penalty area and is ready.

Center Janus Edman, who had already run to the half of the Madrid Pirates, also returned to his own penalty area to participate in the defense.

Tonini came to take the penalty. Instead of shooting directly, he passed the football into the penalty area.

He wants to find high center Ruiz.

But the football was punched out by Ruhr Rhein goalkeeper Koenigs.

Vukovic controlled the second point outside the penalty area, then he passed the ball to Kamara on the wing.

After Kamara stopped the football, Ruhr Rhein's left-back Stefan Cobb pounced on him, but he didn't go up directly, but stood cautiously about three or four meters away from Kamara. It is to prevent him from breaking through.

Seeing this, Kamara simply made a cross.

He didn't have a run-up, he swung his legs on the spot, and passed the football to the goal!

High center Ruiz took off again in the penalty area and competed with Ruhrlein's captain Noah Baumann for the first spot.

Under Bowman's personal interference, although Ruiz hit the football, he failed to head straight.

Or to be precise, he just got into football...

He originally wanted to throw the football towards the goal, but he just rubbed lightly. The football did not fly towards the goal, but flew behind him.

It's just that there was a slight drop in height - after all, he was caught~lightnovelpub.net~ Although Ruiz failed to push the football towards the goal, behind him, there was a figure flying in the air!

Twist your waist and shake your head!

Put the football flying in the air into a solid top!

"Holly!"

"Hu-!"

Amidst the exclamations one after another, Hu Lai shook his head like a lion and threw the football towards the goal!

The goalkeeper of Ruhr Rhein, Koenigs, was obviously a little slower in the face of this close-in header.

The football flew into the goal behind him, and he rose into the air and made a save...

Seeing the football fly into the goal, John Setter, who was participating in the defense on the penalty area line, widened his eyes. How he wished that he was really still in the nightmare!

PS, I seem to have forgotten the match between Wales and Iran?

That's nothing to say, Wales beat Iran by one goal, and Iran will become the first team to be eliminated from the group in this World Cup!
