Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 217: suspense

"Meli shot!"

Meli, who dribbled laterally, took a left-footed shot.

Pamplona's central defender Gagliar Prasueno stepped forward to block, his hands naturally open in order to maintain his body balance.

But it was precisely because of his subconscious action that it brought disaster to the team!

His outstretched arm just hit the football!

Or to be precise, it should be the football shot by Meli...it hit Prasueno's arm!

"Eh? This ball...Prasuino handballed it!"

Meli, who finished the shot, immediately raised his arm and complained to the referee.

The other Kings of Madrid players also raised their arms high and slapped their arms with the other hand, indicating that Prasuino was a handball foul!

The referee's whistle sounded decisively, and at the same time pointed to the penalty spot with his finger!

"Penalty kick! A penalty kick was awarded! In the 84th minute of the game, the King of Madrid won a penalty kick! In fact, whether there is a penalty kick does not affect the result of the game. The King of Madrid is already 3: 0 ahead of Pamplona…”

The commentator Sanchez said so, but he obviously didn't understand the internal situation of the King Madrid team.

For example, under the premise that the Madrid Pirates didn't let Hou Lai enter the squad for the game against Valentia, why did the King of Madrid let Meli come off the bench in this game?

This is because Meli wanted to catch up with Hu Lai in the league's top scorer list, so Roy Wei gave him 25 minutes of playing time.

Therefore, it is very important for Meli to have this penalty.

Now after he comes off the bench, he finally has a chance to score!

In the end, Meli stood in front of the penalty spot, and he was going to take the penalty kick he created himself.

There was no suspense, after the whistle sounded, Meli made it in one fell swoop, and the football flew into the goal!

"4:0! The King of Madrid led Pamplona 4:0 at home! Before the Pirates game, they temporarily surpassed their rivals in the same city and ranked first in the standings!"

After the goal, Meli was very excited. He punched three times at the Kings fans in the North Stand of the Crown Stadium!

"This is Meli's 27th league goal of the season! For Meli, this is a full-scale season. He only scored thirteen goals in the league last season. At the end, his number of goals in the league has already doubled that of last season...Although this is related to Royvi's adjustment of tactics, Melly's performance has not lived up to Royway's expectations of him!"

Otherwise, why is it said that Meli is a top talent?

Last season, as a winger who mainly played on the wing, Meli scored only 13 league goals. But after gaining the right to fire in terms of tactical positioning this season, it took him less than a season to complete the transformation of his tactical role. At the same time, after continuous training, his shooting skills also improved rapidly, and he was able to score so many goals. .

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

If his own shooting skills are not good enough, no matter how he takes care of tactics, it will not be easy for him to score so many goals.

"He did it! Four goals short!"

In front of the coaching bench of the King of Madrid, assistant coach Gonzalez cheered.

Since the Madrid Pirates have announced the squad for tomorrow's away game against Valentia, Hu Lai is not among them. So Mei Li really caught up with Hu Lai further.

From six goals behind to four goals behind.

There are three rounds left in the league, maybe it is really possible?

"He has a fire in his heart..." Head coach Roy Wei nodded approvingly. "I feel that after the semi-finals of the Champions League, although he didn't win, he became more fierce. By making good use of this, we will definitely be able to comeback at home!"

※※※

After the celebration, Meli and his teammates ran back to their own half.

With an excited smile on his face, he was obviously in a good mood.

Coming off the bench, he only had 20 minutes to perform, but he still seized the opportunity to score a goal, and finally he didn't let his work go in vain.

Although it is said to be scored by a penalty kick, but this penalty kick was created by himself, so it is not considered to be an advantage. .

Not much playing time, but a good performance.

Meli continued his performance in the Champions League.

But if someone used this to praise him, he probably wouldn't agree.

Because he felt that his performance in the Champions League semi-finals was not good.

If it is good, the King of Madrid will not lose the game, at least he should have a draw-the last shot, he should have grasped it.

And the second goal scored by the Pirates, it was Ramirez who cut off the pass to himself and launched it.

At that time, he tried to defend, but he just put on a simple show... If he could work harder, or simply put Ramirez on the ground, even if he paid the price of a yellow card, there would be no goal like Kyrie's later ah.

So although everyone praised Meli's performance after the game, he himself was not satisfied.

For this reason, he has been holding back a lot of energy in his heart.

He will never leave any regrets for himself in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final next Wednesday.

Since the Olympics, he and Hou Lai have played against each other four times.

He lost all four times.

So he thinks those debates on the Internet about who is stronger between him and Hu Lai are ridiculous.

If I'm really better than Hu Lai, why haven't I won even once?

No matter how I perform in the game, the result is there. If you don't win, you don't win. No matter how many reasons and excuses you find, it's useless.

The whole world says that Meli Banega is the top superstar after the "Four Heavenly Kings".

But if I can't beat Hu, then I'm not qualified to accept those praises from everyone.

Because I don't deserve it!

There are also fans who find reasons for Meli's failure, saying that football is a collective sport, and the failure of the King of Madrid cannot prove Meli's failure.

Meli also doesn't agree with this statement. As a key player of the Kings, the team's failure is indeed his personal failure.

Moreover, the king's overall strength is not weak, even slightly stronger than the pirates.

So why can't the king win?

Hu Lai can help the Pirates win the game, why can't I help the Kings win?

Am I worse than him?

Meli does not accept this conclusion, he must lead the King of Madrid to defeat Hou Lai.

※※※

It was the 86th minute when Meli scored the penalty, a few minutes before the end of the game.

When the game resumed, Meli, who had already scored, was still very active.

He also wants to score goals.

If he is only satisfied with scoring one goal in a game, then he will not be able to catch up with Hu Lai by the end of the league.

So he wants to hurry up and score another goal.

But this time Pamplona did not fulfill Meli's wish.

By the time the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score remained unchanged at 4:0.

The King of Madrid beat Pamplona by four goals at home.

They used a rotation lineup in this game, but Pamplona is not strong, and the Kings are playing at home, so they finally won with four goals.

In the league between the two Champions League semi-finals, they passed smoothly.

The same rotation of the Madrid Pirates is not so easy to pass, they ushered in a strong enemy in this round:

Valentia.

It's a narrow road - Valentia has just been knocked out by the Pirates in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

It's really revenge for those who are wronged, and revenge for those who have revenge.

Moreover, neither Hu Lai nor Carey came to the away game with the team this time, and the Madrid Pirates' rotation is very large.

It almost makes people wonder if Parotti is going to give up the domestic league.

Facing the aggressive Valentia, Parotti let the team play defensive counterattack.

Except for the back line, almost all other positions have been rotated.

Bedia, who came off the bench temporarily in the last game and replaced the injured Amantegui, also started this game.

Parrotti hopes that he can play more games and find the feeling of the game.

Betia's physical fitness is not a problem. Parotti is not worried that after playing this game, he will not have the physical fitness to cope with the Champions League semi-final against the King of Madrid.

After Amantegui was reimbursed for the season, the only solution Parotti could find was to put Bettia on top.

Antonio Betia is in the team and is a regular rotation in itself.

He was trained by the Madrid Pirates Club's own youth training camp, and was in the same class as Joaquin Bella.

His ability is slightly weaker, but he is loyal enough to the team to let him play as a substitute, and he has no complaints or loses his temper. He has a clear position on himself, knowing that he cannot compete with the main combination of Moreno and Amantegui, but he still enjoys playing for the team he supported since childhood. Low salary and not being able to play the main team are not problems for him, because he has realized his childhood dream.

It can be said that unless the Pirates Club doesn't need him anymore, he will not take the initiative to apply for a transfer and leave.

Such a player is an indispensable role in any team, and it is also the favorite of any head coach.

For substitute players, ability is not the most important thing. Otherwise, if they have the ability, who would be willing to be a substitute?

Valentia launched a fierce attack on the Pirates goal from the beginning of the game.

They are hungry for revenge and want to beat the Madrid Pirates at home.

As long as they can beat the Madrid Pirates, the King of Madrid will be able to take the opportunity.

Although Valentia is not a supporter of the King, but if the Pirates can lose the league championship, it will be regarded as revenge for being eliminated from the Champions League by the Pirates.

The aggressive Valentia also did advance the ball.

But they were only happy for 18 minutes, and just before the end of the first half, they were equalized by the Madrid Pirates.

It was the high center forward Ruiz who started the game in rotation.

Then Valentia fought hard.

It's just that even if they paid the price of a red card, they still failed to rewrite the score.

The 1:1 score was maintained until the end, and the Madrid Pirates took away one point.

As a result, the Madrid Pirates have eighty-nine points, the same as the Kings. Relying on the advantages of the relationship between the two sides, the Pirates still rank first.

It's just that this first place is not guaranteed~lightnovelpub.net~ The suspense of winning the championship surged.

In this round of the league, the Catalan United, without the interference of the Champions League, defeated Real Catjon 3:2 away.

Assuming that before the last round of the league, all three teams have maintained a complete victory, then the score situation should be that the Madrid Pirates rank first with 95 points, the Madrid Kings rank second with 95 points, and Catalan United ranks third with 93 points. name.

If Catalina wants to win the title, they must beat the Madrid Pirates at home, and at the same time they have to count on their city rivals to beat the King of Madrid away.

Looking at it this way, Catalan United's chances of winning the championship are the slimmest.

The Kings are the easiest, they only need to beat Sarria, who is not strong at home.

The Madrid Pirates, who have been leading for most of the season, are very likely to lose the league title in the end.

If this really happened, it would be a big tragedy...
