"Tognini passed a diagonal pass into the penalty area, he should be looking for Kyrie...Missed?! Kyrie missed...Huh! Ooooooooooooooo! gooooooooooooool!!"

Accompanied by the excited cheers of the commentator, in the picture, Hou Lai kicked the football into the goal of the King of Madrid.

Then the screen turned, Ramirez picked a pass into the penalty area, and Hou Lai and Peralta ran towards the football together.

"Ramirez first pass in the box... Huh... oh my god! What a brilliant backheel pass! The way Hu passed the ball to Kyrie... Kyrie! Beautiful! Goal! Lah! Beautiful! This is the Dutchman's first Champions League goal in the last two seasons!"

On the second day of the Champions League game... no, strictly speaking, before the game was over, these two goals by Carey and Hou Lai were all over the Internet.

Some reporters even said that if it weren't for the 34-meter undercut by Hu Lai in the group stage against Ruhr Rhine, it would be too shocking. Maybe he assisted Carey with the ball and the goal that Carey missed for him. A real chance to compete for the best goal in the Champions League this season.

Although missed the best of the Champions League, these two goals still make everyone talk about it.

Houlai's goal in the game was his 14th in the Champions League this season.

The record for the most goals scored in a single season in the Champions League in history is 17 goals, created by "The Great" Celius Caesar in the 00-01 season seven years ago. The start of the season also helped the Turin Bulls win the Champions League.

Hu Lai is still three goals away from this record. If he can reach the Champions League final, with his state, he may be able to tie or even break this record.

In addition, including Hou Lai's five Champions League goals in Leeds City last season, he has now scored 19 Champions League goals.

If he can score again in the semi-final of the next leg, he will break the record for the fastest 20 goals in the Champions League set by Mark Becker of Blue and White Munich.

The current record was set by Becker when he played for the Ruhr Rhein. He scored 20 goals in 25 Champions League games to complete this record.

Hu Lai has now scored 19 goals in 16 Champions League games.

Although he is a player with a completely different style from Meli, Hou Lai won the qualifications on par with Meli in world football because of his abnormal scoring efficiency.

When a player always scores goals, then naturally his playing style doesn't matter.

Besides, in terms of appreciation, Hu Lai is not bad. Many of his goals are so attractive that they are like works of art.

For example, his backhook goal against Ruhr Rhein, who dares to say that the backhook goal 34 meters away from the goal is not enough to watch?

Meyer used his talents to please the fans, while Hu Lai used his goals to please the audience.

The two of them are really indistinguishable.

And Maxi Carey's goal in this game is not only his first Champions League goal in these two seasons, but also his fifty-second Champions League goal in his career.

He currently ranks ninth on the all-time Champions League scorer list.

Ranked first is the eternal legend, "The Great" Celius Caesar, who scored a total of 118 goals in this event. He has not yet retired and still scored goals in the Champions League this season, and he will continue to write his own legend and record.

The second place is another "Four Kings", Serrados of the King of Madrid, who also scored more than 100 goals in the Champions League. The goal with the Madrid Pirates was his 103rd goal in the Champions League.

The two of them are the only two players on this list with more than 100 goals.

Although there is a clear gap between Carey and them, he is the Champions League scorer in the history of the Madrid Pirates Club. Forty-one of his fifty-two Champions League goals have been scored with Cortes de Madrid.

"Dear listeners and friends. Did you watch the UEFA Champions League semi-final last night? Don't tell me you haven't watched it... I don't believe that in Madrid last night, there will be no one who didn't watch that game! Whether it is going to Watch live or at home, it doesn't matter... If you watched, then congratulations, you have witnessed the return of Maxy Carey in the Champions League!"

Listening to the program on the car radio, the corners of Carey's mouth curled up slightly.

He just wanted to hear how the mean host praised him this time, and he guessed right, the host really praised him.

"...In last night's game, Kyrie scored a goal, which was his first Champions League goal in two seasons. In addition, although Hu's goal was not assisted by him, I personally think that that Carey's contribution is definitely greater than that of Tonini who passed the ball! The diagonal running position and missed ball are really wonderful! So although Hu scored a goal and an assist in the game, he was elected the best player in the game, but I I think Kyrie's performance is no worse than Hu's!"

Carey groaned in satisfaction.

This man finally had his point.

After the game, the best was taken away by Hu Lai, but Carey felt that he should also be the best in the game.

His only weakness is physical ability.

If he can play the whole game, how can the Pirates be just: 1 small win?

It's a pity that after experiencing serious injuries, Carey, who has not trained systematically, can only recover to the current state.

If he can finish playing this season in a healthy and safe manner, then start to reserve his physical fitness from the beginning in the new season, and don't suffer another serious injury that has been absent for more than half a year. His physical fitness should be much better than now.

It's just that the far water can't quench the near thirst.

It doesn't help that he has inexhaustible, inexhaustible physical energy right now.

The radio host on the car radio continued to praise Carey:

"...Currently, Kyrie has the last year left on his contract with the team. Looking at his performance after returning from injury, I even think the club should seriously consider giving Kyrie a new contract. Healthy Maxi Kyrie is still one of the best players in the world…”

Renew?

Hearing what the radio host said, Carey frowned slightly.

He has one more season left on his contract.

He should have expired after the end of this season, but his contract was renewed once in the summer of 2006. The three-year contract is valid and will not expire until the summer of 2009.

In fact, in the game against Royal Catjon, after he assisted Hou Lai with his heel, his agent Jim Castien asked him about extending his contract.

Castien believes that with his outstanding performance, now is a good time to negotiate with the club to renew his contract.

This can win more favorable conditions for Carey.

Although Carey once told him that he would not retire from the Pirates, but would return to the Hague Hercules where he debuted at the end of his career. But he certainly won't bid farewell to the mainstream stage of European football at the age of thirty-four.

So it is also time to negotiate a contract extension with the club.

But Carey's reaction at the time was a bit beyond Castian's expectations-he did not directly agree to let Castian negotiate with the club to renew his contract.

The reasons given are:

I haven't considered whether to renew the contract yet.

Castian was puzzled at the time, what else should be considered?

Brother, you have worked for the Pirates for many years, and your children were born and raised here. The fans here still love you, and your status in the hearts of the fans has not been obviously impacted by Hu Lai. When you were injured, the club gave you a new contract without a salary cut...

We have been working together for many years, and everyone is very happy.

Why do you have to consider renewing the contract?

Carey did not explain to Castiando at the time, and only he knew the reason for his hesitation.

Without Hou Lai, or without Hou Lai's outstanding performance during his injury, then he has no opinion on re-signing with the Pirates.

But the current situation made him have other ideas...

"Although Kyrie has performed very well recently, Ettore, I still suggest that we should find his successor as soon as possible instead of considering giving him a new contract."

In head coach Parotti's office, assistant coach Jesús Valentine voiced a proposal he'd been pondering all night.

Parotti glanced at Valentine: "The club is really considering renewing the contract with Kyrie. They hope to sign a +1 contract with Kyrie. If in the next two seasons, Kyrie does not If the injury is too serious, if the attendance rate reaches the normal level, it will be automatically extended for one year. This should be the last contract."

"I don't think it's the right decision." Valentine shrugged and pouted. "Even if it's the last one. The club should speed up their actions in the transfer market and introduce Kyrie's successor. Instead of waiting until he really can't play..."

"But signings and contract extensions don't conflict, Jesús."

"If we just introduce a substitute for Kyrie, of course there is no conflict. But if we want to introduce a player who can replace Kyrie, there will be a conflict. There are a few players who are capable of replacing Kyrie. How about Kyrie as a substitute for the next two seasons? Similarly, if the players we bring in are capable of replacing Kyrie, why should we let Kyrie continue to play the main force?" Valentine asked repeatedly.

Parrotti sighed after listening: "You are right, Jesus. But the problem is that we are planning to sign on the right side this summer, and the asking price for the targets we are looking at is not low. In addition, this time Oman Tegui's injury also reminded us - we also need to recruit at the center back."

"How is Armanteji doing?" Valentine asked.

"The anterior cruciate ligament is ruptured, and surgery is required, and he will be reimbursed for the season." Parotti briefly introduced.

He didn't need to say too much, just the first key word made Valentine fall into silence.

The rupture of the cruciate ligament means that even if Amantegui returns from injury next season, his physical function will be greatly affected. I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the high-intensity requirements of the pirates' multi-line operations.

Therefore, the club must introduce a high-level central defender this summer to fill the vacancy of Amantegui.

And high-level central defenders have always been sought-after in the transfer market, and it is difficult to grab them without paying enough "sincerity".

Besides, sometimes even if you give enough money, people may not be willing to come, because there are too many choices.

Thinking about it this way, Valentine also realized why Parotti tended to support the club and renew Carey's contract.

At the very least, we should stagger this summer and wait until next summer to introduce Kyrie's replacement. From the perspective of economic pressure, it will be much easier.

"Well, I hope Kyrie doesn't get hurt again...God bless." Valentine sighed helplessly. "So are we going to buy out Schwyz?"

Parotti shook his head: "If his agent doesn't ask for a high price, he can be considered to buy him out. He is still a useful addition to our lineup."

The Swiss international Omer Schwyz, who came on loan from Sakasenstad during the winter break, performed quite well. If Kyrie's performance has been sluggish, Schwytz may start some games.

But now that Kyrie's condition has recovered, Schwytz has become a dispensable substitute.

The buyout fee of 15 million is not expensive, but if his agent asks for a salary that is too high, then the club is unlikely to satisfy him. After all, there are many places where the Pirates Club needs to spend money this summer, and they are all places where they spend a lot of money.

The team's salary space is limited. In order to attract enough good players to join the team, they must be willing to pay high salaries.

If there is too much here, the salaries for other players will have to be reduced.

If Schwyz must have a high salary~lightnovelpub.net~, then we can only say goodbye to him.

Schwyz's annual salary in Saxonstadt is 7 million euros before tax, and the pirates assumed 40% of his salary and came on loan.

If the pirates want to buy him out, perhaps the acceptable annual salary should not exceed 50% of 7 million, which is 3.5 million euros.

As for whether Schwyz and his agent can accept this number...

To be honest, Parotti felt that the other party might find it difficult to accept.

After all, from 7 million to 3.5 million, it has shrunk by more than half. For a 28-year-old international player who is in his prime, it is indeed a bit small...

"If Schwyz is unwilling to accept... I think we should consider a young midfielder with potential, spend two seasons training him, and prepare him in advance." Valentine still did not give up looking for someone to replace Kyrie idea.

This time Parotti did not object. (to be continued)
