Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 226: Accumulated 1 more defeats

Chapter 1899 Another failure accumulated

"In any game where Hou Lai scored a hat-trick, his team has never lost!"

He Feng said to the audience in front of the TV.

This is indeed the case. Since Hu Lai entered professional football, he has scored three goals or more in 47 games of all kinds.

And in these forty-seven games, not to mention losses, there were very few draws—just one.

In the 2026 World Cup group match, in the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, Hu Lai scored a hat-trick to help the Chinese team draw with Brazil.

Except for this one, all other games were won.

In other words, as long as Hu Lai can score at least three goals in the game, the game will be won.

This is actually very understandable, and it is not an incredible record.

After all, it's a three-goal guarantee.

With Hou Lai's state, if he can perform at least one hat-trick in the game, it means that he feels good in front of the goal.

How many teams dare to score against Hollei in this state?

How many teams can still fight back after being scored three goals by Hu Lai?

Of course there are, so in some games, Hu Lai scored more than three goals.

For example, in the UEFA Champions League final last season, Hou Lai scored a hat-trick and Meli also scored a hat-trick. In the end, Hou Lai scored another goal and became the first player in the history of the Champions League final to complete four goals.

In a word - if you dare to fight back, you will fight harder!

Back in this Champions League final, Hou Lai's hat-trick had a great impact on the morale of the Catalan players.

Bad memories of how many times they had been hat-tricked by Hou Lai came back.

That kind of lingering shadow...it's almost giving the Catalan players PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

After Hou Lai completed the hat-trick, the Catalan siege did not last, because some players were worried that the Madrid Pirates' counterattack would score another goal in a short time.

The players are not unified on the court, and the performance is split front and back in the game.

The attacking players in the frontcourt want to score as soon as possible, and then reduce the difference to two goals.

The defensive players in the backcourt are worried about continuing to lose the ball.

This chaos lasted for five or six minutes, during which the Catalan United was in danger in front of the goal, but fortunately they held the final baseline and did not allow Hou Lai to score again, nor did any other Madrid Pirates players score.

After that, the Catalan players gradually adjusted, and their active mistakes decreased a lot.

Then they launched a fierce attack on the goal of the Madrid Pirates.

At this time, there are still about twenty minutes before the end of the regular game time.

There is really not much time left for Catalan United, and they can no longer pass the control back and forth slowly.

The Cathay-Thailand United also began to try to play more simply and directly, and the formation became more and more pressing.

The result was that they were hit by the Madrid Pirates again in the 74th minute.

Vukovic turned around in the middle and got rid of Van der Stern who was defending him. The latter tried to foul directly but failed to tackle the man.

Falling to the ground, he was no longer able to stop Vukovic's breakthrough.

Vukovic dribbles the ball towards the Catalan defender!

"Vukovic! The Madrid Pirates' counterattack is coming again! Five against four in the frontcourt!"

Facing Vukovic with the ball, Catalonia's back line became very divided-wanted to go up but dared not go up.

Due to the lack of protection and help from the forward line, the two central defenders, Paul Fortune and Joel Jimenez, could only be pushed back by Hou Lai and Ruiz at the beginning.

Jimenez rushed up to block Vukovic until it was too late to retreat.

After the Serbian midfielder drew him out, he distributed the football to Tonini, who was outflanking on the left.

After receiving the ball, the Brazilian midfielder dribbled the ball diagonally towards the Catalan penalty area.

When Catalan right-back Osquiy stepped up to defend him, he crossed the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

The destination of his pass is the space after Joel Jimenez stepped forward.

There, Hu Lai and Paul Fortune ran to the landing point at the same time.

Hu Lai has a slight advantage of half body position, but Paul Fortune is also very close.

After running to the position, the football also rolled over.

Hu Lai didn't make any adjustments, just flicked the outside of his right foot and shot the football towards the goal!

Tony Schulman, who blocked the angle at the front point, couldn't react in time. Although he raised his hands reflexively, trying to block the goal, the football still flew in from above his hands!

This made him kneel on the ground and raise his hands as if he was surrendering to Hu Lai...

The football is already in the goal behind him!

"HUUUUUUUUUUUU! WOOOOOOOOOOW! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Hu's condition today is really good, he is crazy!"

"Four! Four goals! After becoming the first player in the history of the Champions League to score three goals in the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, Hu Lai became the first player to score four goals in the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons! Unbelievable! This Champions League final has become a one-man show for him!"

"Hu Lai! He set a new record for scoring 23 goals in the UEFA Champions League last season! 24 goals! There is no one before, only... Hu Lai himself!"

"Last season, the Madrid Pirates had to play back and forth with the Madrid King, but this season they have already had a final experience, but they played a near crushing performance against the Catalan United! This team The team is maturing!"

"With fifteen minutes left in the game, the Madrid Pirates led the Catalan United with four goals! There is no suspense about the outcome of this game! The first team to successfully defend the title after the Champions League restructuring is about to be born! Hu made history, The Madrid Pirates also made history!"

The Iron Dome erupted in louder cheers than ever before.

Because the fans of the Madrid Pirates also know that Hu Lai's ball sealed the victory and completely eliminated the possibility of a Catalan comeback!

They no longer have to worry about what accidents will happen, and can vent all the emotions in their hearts to their heart's content.

"Stable! Completely stable!" Xie Lan announced loudly in the stands, and then hugged Li Qingqing.

Hu Lixin and Li Ziqiang looked at them, applauding and laughing at the same time.

※※※

Hu Lai didn't even have time to make his own celebration this time-the crazy Madrid Pirates hugged him halfway, and then dragged him to the ground. Everyone ran up, pressed on him, and folded Arhat!

Even the goalkeeper Heywell traveled thousands of miles to the frontcourt to participate in the "Jenga" activity.

The Pirates players on the bench also actively joined in, and the people behind could no longer stack up, so they could only press past from the side, forming a spectacular "people pile".

The head coach Parrotti, who was always calm in the past, was also waving his fist wildly after hugging the assistant coaches at this time. After being shaken, his gray hair hung messily on his forehead and temples. The italian coach now looks very unrefined...

It's not his fault either.

Facing the opportunity to make history, it is difficult for anyone to remain calm.

He already led the team to win the Champions League last season.

But winning the Champions League is not uncommon.

Before him, countless head coaches have done it, and there is always a champion coach born every year.

And leading the team to win the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, that's not the same...

From now on, he, Ettore Parotti's name will be written in a prominent position in football history!

※※※

While the Madrid Pirates were celebrating to their heart's content, the Catalan United were all stunned.

Even Raleigh Vicente, who had vowed before the game to settle all accounts in this game, stood blankly on the sidelines at this moment, with a dazed expression on his face.

He never imagined how the final that he carefully prepared would turn out like this...

To say that the Madrid Pirates chose a high position to press at the beginning is something beyond his expectations. But just because of this unexpected situation, his team would not be three goals behind at the beginning of the final, and now it is even four goals behind, right?

He feels his coaching career has been hit by a major crisis...

On the court, Renaldo Lima turned his head to look at Kendor Kabunca, and found that his big brother in the national team had a sluggish expression. He didn't slap his hands and encourage his teammates loudly like he had conceded the ball a few times before. …

Seeing Kabangka like this, Lima remembered what Kabangka told himself before the game.

He said: "You remember, Renardo. No matter what Hu does or says in the game, don't take it to heart. We just play our own ball."

But Kendor...how could he not take it to heart?

He has scored four goals!

Kabanka didn't notice the way Lima was watching him~lightnovelpub.net~he was in great pain.

He thought that during this game, Hu Lai would use some off-the-box tricks to interfere and affect his teammates, so he specifically warned his teammates not to entangle with Hu Lai before the game, and to maintain a normal mind.

As a result, Hu Lai hasn't made any mistakes since the players from both sides met in the player tunnel until now.

He's really just playing the game.

Yes, played the game normally, and as of the 75th minute of the game, he scored four goals.

I thought that Hu Lai would use off-the-box tricks because he couldn't take advantage of normal kicks.

Now Kabangka realizes how terrifying a Hu Lai who concentrates on playing the game is.

Maybe that Hu Lai with a hippie smile chatting with opponent players on the field is cuter...

He raised his head and looked at the night sky reddened by the lights.

It looked like he had accumulated another failure.
