"Ray! Ray!"

Assistant coach Fernando Gonzalez rants on the training ground:

"Concentrate! This is training, not playing tricks! You won't get any training effect like this!"

Claudio Ray quickly apologized to the assistant coach and returned to training.

But it still caused head coach Roy Wei to snort dissatisfiedly.

After training and returning to the locker room, Claudio Ray quickly packed himself up and left.

As soon as he left, captain Celados returned to the locker room, looked around and asked, "Where's Claudio?"

Someone answered him: "Gone, not long ago."

Serados sighed: "Forget it, I'll look for him tomorrow..."

"What's going on?" A teammate asked curiously. "Did Mr. Luo Yiwei come to you just because of him?"

"Who else could it be for?" Serrados shrugged, "Didn't you find that Claudio's mental state was not right after that match?"

In fact, strictly speaking, it is not after that game, but the day after the game.

When the video on the Internet was spread more and more widely and its influence became greater and greater, Claudio Lei's mental state began to plummet.

Obviously, those remarks and discussions on the Internet deeply hurt him.

"I know it's not appropriate to say this, but I still have to say, this kid asked for it!"

The team's main central defender, Peralta, took off his training clothes and threw them at his feet, with his upper body naked, humming.

Albin Estrom also agreed: "I remember I told him before the game, don't talk to nonsense, right? Before he did this, we were ahead in terms of score and form, In the end, he didn't know what to think, and he ran to provoke Hu... Then he not only angered Hu, but also activated Kaili, what a **** ghost!"

As a midfielder, Estrom kept rubbing Claudio Ray's **** in the second half of the game, but he was really alone against the already crazy Maxi Carey and Vukovic. , Playing very embarrassingly and hard.

Originally, in the three-man midfield, the real midfielder Orsay was only responsible for defense, while Dudu Carlos was full-time in organizing offense. Estrom has to take into account both offense and defense, helping on both sides.

But in Madrid Debiri, he almost became a pure engineer in the end.

It's not really something Esterom is capable of, nor is it something he likes.

Without his support on the offensive end, Dudu Carlos can create a lot less offensive opportunities.

The quality of the offense of the King of Madrid has naturally plummeted, and he was blown away by the Madrid Pirates.

As for Claudio Ray, Estrom also has a lot of opinions to spray.

Others seem to feel the same way, and they all want to follow suit.

There were various analyzes after the game, and everyone could see that the turning point of the game was actually when Claudio Ray went to challenge Hu Lai. After that, Hu Lai found Carey, chatted with Carey for a few words, and then Carey exploded, tying the score before the end of the first half.

Hou Lai was unstoppable again in the second half, which eventually led to the defeat of King Madrid.

From the fact that Hou Lai went to Claudio Lei to celebrate after completing the hat-trick, it can be seen that he was indeed very unhappy with Lei's provocation in the first half. And instead of celebrating after scoring the first goal, wait until the hat is done. It shows that he is holding back his energy and wants to score three goals and then hit the face of thunder.

Doesn't this make it clear that Lei provoked it?

And to everyone's displeasure, they actually told Lei before the game that they couldn't talk to Hu Lai during the game anyway.

You must know that Codlow's "tragedy" is still vivid. Not too long ago, everyone didn't want to be the second Codello, so they were very concerned about this issue.

But all of them cared about it. Claudio Ray, who faced Hu Lai for the first time in the game, turned a deaf ear to it. Because of his willful actions, the whole team fell into a hopeless situation.

That's what's most annoying.

Seeing such signs, Celados quickly stood up as the captain to interrupt this momentum. He said to everyone: "Anyway, he is one of us. We can't simply take the responsibility for our loss." Push it on him alone..."

Now that the captain has said so, the others naturally have no way to continue complaining. They shut up one after another, but judging by their expressions... they still care a little bit.

Of course, Serados knew what everyone was thinking. He looked around in the locker room, and finally his eyes fell on Meli Banega, who had been silent and showed no obvious emotions.

Claudio Ray admired Meli very much, so Celados wanted Meli to enlighten Lei. He asked by name: "Mali, do you want to take the time to chat with him?"

Unexpectedly, Meli's answer surprised Celados:

"I don't think now is the best time to go to him, Captain. Claudio did get hit, but it's not a bad thing for him. People always have to go through setbacks to grow, and he needs to go through this one too. Frustration, otherwise, if it goes too smoothly, the psychological endurance may not allow him to play in a club like the Kings..."

Celados understood, but Meli didn't want to care.

He admitted that what Meli said was somewhat reasonable, but the problem now is that the setback that Claudio Ray encountered may be... too big.

If it's just getting passed by Kyrie over and over again in the game and being scored on him by Hou Lai...that's fine.

But the current situation is that after the game, the "Internet violence" against Claudio Ray not only did not disappear, but intensified.

Celados didn't even know if Ray would make it through.

Of course, if he can really do it, then the future is bound to be limitless.

But what if you can't make it through?

Someone has to help this young man, right? This is the duty of the veteran.

Celadus still decided to come by himself.

In any case, he is also a talented player cultivated by the king himself. As the captain of the king, how can he ignore it?

"I heard that there seems to be something wrong with Ray..."

During dinner, Li Qingqing talked to Hu Lai about the gossip she had heard in the team.

"what is the problem?"

"I was out of shape for several days of training and was scolded by the coach. Everyone is saying that I was hurt by your celebration..."

Hu Lai laughed: "Is that kid's psychological endurance so poor? This is why he is not as good as our Chinese players."

"How to say?"

"We have been scolded since we were young, and we have already developed a copper-skinned iron body and a big heart! No matter what winds are blowing from east to west, I will stand still!"

With his hands behind his back, Hu Lai said with his head held high.

Li Qingqing reached out and patted him: "You are quite proud!"

Then he said: "But I'm not worried that Kings fans will come and scold you because of this. Your heart is bigger than Ray's."

"Hey, I'm old everywhere!" Hu Lai continued to be proud.

Li Qingqing was happy: "Yo ho, you want me to avenge the king again?"

Hu Lai hesitated instantly: "No, no, I didn't mean that..."

Then he changed the subject: "I'm worried that you will be implicated by me. They know it's useless to scold me. What if they come to scold you?"

Li Qingqing snorted: "If you really scold me, I will transfer to the pirates!"

Hu Lai was surprised: "What the hell?"

Li Qingqing waved his hands again and again: "I'm just kidding! Kings fans will not come to trouble me. My teammates also said that this matter is always the result of Lei's provocation... If he didn't provoke you with the World Footballer, I guess you would too. won't do that."

Hu Lai nodded and said: "Of course. It's normal to fight on the court. You have to suffer if you lose, and there is nothing to be wronged. If there is anything unconvinced, won't it be enough to win the next game? Or wait until this Thursday You want to avenge Ray?"

Li Qingqing gave Hu Lai a blank look: "Why should I avenge him?"

Hu Lai was a little surprised: "You didn't even ask me why it's Thursday?"

"Because you have the Copa del Rey semi-final with Royal Catjon on Wednesday." Li Qingqing replied.

Hu Lai chuckled: "That's what it means."

※※※

On Wednesday night, February 7th, the Madrid Pirates played against Real Caterjon at home.

This is the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final.

In fact, before the "Madrid Derby" with the King of Madrid, they played a Copa del Rey. The Madrid Pirates defeated Samir Sports 3:2 at home with half of the main lineup rotated.

Hou Lai came off the bench in the second half of that game, but failed to score.

Let him play just to keep the game in order to better deal with the King of Madrid.

In the context of the Madrid derby, this Copa del Rey game did not attract people's attention at all. Some people even didn't know that the team had a Copa del Rey game three days before the derby in the same city.

Originally, I didn't put too much energy into the competition, which was just training the rotation lineup, but now I reached the semi-finals in one go, so I can no longer treat it with the mentality of "training the team".

So in the first round of the semi-final against Real Caterjon, even though he had just finished the Madrid derby, Parrotti was almost on the main team and only rotated in a few positions. For example, in the goalkeeper position, the 33-year-old substitute goalkeeper Olmer Caballo replaced Heywell in the starting lineup.

The 29-year-old Heywell is at the peak of his career. As long as he is not injured, it is difficult for the substitute goalkeeper to shake his position. In order to allow the substitute goalkeeper to also have a chance to play, Caballo has always been allowed to start before the Copa del Rey.

If the team reaches the Copa del Rey final, it will still be arranged this way.

This is also the feeling of taking care of the substitute goalkeeper as much as possible.

Otherwise, in the team's several seasons, the number of appearances did not add up to double digits, which is really unreasonable...

However, in the key positions other than the goalkeeper, Parrotti is still doing his best.

The starting striker combination is still Maxi Carey and Hou Lai.

Midfielder Vukovic also did not have a rotation break.

Only captain Juan Ramirez was replaced by Joaquin Bella.

Joaquin Bella is an excellent jack-of-all-trades, with balanced offense and defense, and can naturally play as a defensive midfielder.

In the end, with the goals of Hou Lai and left back Olaf Brynjörsson, the Madrid Pirates beat Real Catjon 2-0 at home and won the first chance in the semi-finals.

The second leg of the semi-final is not until a month later, to make way for the league and the upcoming knockout round of the Champions League - two months after the group stage, the Champions League knockout game is finally coming.
