Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 38: your grandpa is your grandpa

"Fox of the Forbidden Zone"

Arthur was targeted by the Madrid Pirates, and everyone can see this.

The Sevilla Navigator coaching staff on the sidelines is no exception.

But they haven't been able to get another centre-back, Victor Poiatos, to help.

There are only four defenders and two central defenders. Everyone has their own defense zone and cannot run around casually.

Defense puts far more emphasis on position and discipline than offense.

Whose position belongs to that person, and they must not visit each other, otherwise it is easy to cause big problems.

So even though he saw that the situation on Artur's side was a bit critical, Voyagers coach Pier Brent did not direct Poyatos to change positions with Artur.

If someone who is used to playing left central defender goes to the position of right central defender, there will be problems as well.

In the end, the adjustment plan Brent made was to let the midfielder Victor Montero help Arthur to withstand the attack of the Madrid Pirates.

He could see that the Madrid Pirates were taking advantage of the momentum after scoring a goal, and they were very aggressive.

But they can't go on like this forever.

They're not **** Leeds after all.

So as long as this period of time is sustained, the pressure on the defense can be greatly reduced.

At that time, the Voyagers will control the ball and attack again, at least they will be able to maintain a balance of power.

Brent looked at his wrist watch. There were still about twenty minutes until the end of the game.

To score two goals in 20 minutes...somewhat difficult, but not impossible.

※※※

The reason why Brent was able to let Montero help Arthur and play a cameo as a central defender was mainly because the Madrid Pirates' midfielder did not have a top offensive midfielder like Pablo Becker.

The four midfielders of the Pirates of Madrid, in the middle are Juan Ramirez and Joaquin Bella.

Among them, Ramirez is a pure defensive midfielder with excellent defensive ability, but his offensive level is very average, and he hardly even has long-range shots.

Joaquin Bella's offensive and defensive balance.

That's a nice way of saying it.

A bad way to say it is "mediocre offense and defense".

Bella is a talented player cultivated by the Madrid Pirates himself, and has the advantage of household registration. In addition, he is indeed a hard-working, panacea-like player, so Parotti placed high hopes on him and focused on training him.

Although his offense and defense are mediocre now, he has only just turned twenty-five after all, and there is still room for growth—although not much. But Bella has always been diligent and hardworking. His tireless running and solid basic skills are indeed an important part of the midfield of Parotti's team.

What he needs to improve is awareness, the awareness of handling the ball correctly.

The current offense of the Madrid Pirates mainly relies on two flanks.

Especially on the left, the combination of Cardoso Tonini and Ion Martinez is top in La Liga.

So some media nicknamed their combination "Angel Left".

From this nickname, you can hear the embarrassment of the Madrid Pirates-angels only have a left wing, not a right wing, so the Madrid Pirates are "disabled angels" flying with one wing.

Why no right wing?

Because the state of Silvilio on the right is good and bad. When he is good, he is completely worthy of his worth of 70 million euros. When he is bad, he is the biggest parallel importer of the Madrid Pirates.

The Pirates also wanted to pursue an excellent right midfielder or right winger this summer, but due to various reasons, they failed to win several targets they were looking for. So even if Silvilio's condition is unstable, he can only make do with it and let him continue playing. At the same time, I pray that his good state can last longer...

In addition, the team's right back Jose Irazusta has just joined the team this season, and he and the team are also facing the problem of running in.

So the right side of the Madrid Pirates has not yet taken shape.

Montero, as the main defensive midfielder of the Sevilla Navigators, was able to retreat to help Arthur because the Madrid Pirates' attack in the middle of the midfield was not a big threat.

Of course, he still has to take care of the midfield defense. After all, he is only there to help, and he is not a serious central defender.

In the attack just now, Hu Lai went to fight for the top of a cross from the wing, but he didn't hit the ball, but collided with Montero.

The opponent pushed him hard.

In the end, neither of them got the point.

However, the football was pushed away by Poyatos, so Montero still completed the defensive task.

Hu Lai turned his head and took a look. The opponent was a Uruguayan player.

So he reminded the other party in Spanish: "Take it easy, brother. Do you want to recite a card too?"

Montero glanced at Holly.

He still remembers the Europa League final.

Hearing El Gurez talk about Hu Lai touching the trophy before the game, he also said at the time that he wanted to let the unbelieving Hou Lai see the cruelty of fate.

In the end, they Seville navigators saw how cruel fate is...

It was a really bad memory.

So now hearing Hu Lai say that again, Montero actually subconsciously believed that he could do what he said.

If I really get a yellow card from this kid... then the game will be really difficult!

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Hu Lai said again: "Or... Brother, if you don't make those little tricks, you won't be able to guard against me?"

Montero took a deep breath, resisting the urge to squirt back.

He realized that the other party was provoking him, trying to provoke him.

So pay attention to your actions, and you must not take cards from this kid.

Keep calm, Montero!

Daniele Di Kunzo is the Italy international who joined the Madrid Pirates from Ferencz last summer.

He has not played in the Europa League between Ferencz and Leeds City, nor has he actually played against Hou Lai on the court.

But he and Albertazzi have been teammates for three seasons, and he knows the ability of this talented Italian goalkeeper very well.

Taking Albertazzi as the reference standard, he knew how strong Hu Lai was.

This is a person who can perform a hat-trick in front of Albertazzi!

He still remembers how he felt when he learned that Albertazzi conceded three goals in a single game-he thought the news was wrong.

For this reason, he went to look for the highlights of the game.

After watching it, I was shocked by Hu Lai's performance.

As a striker, when he was in Ferenc, he often played against Albertazzi in team training.

Even in training with a lower intensity, he failed to achieve the triple goal alone in the face of "Iceberg".

This is a shooter who was born to score goals!

So during the intermission, coach Parotti asked him to use his skills to create chaos near the Sevilla Navigator's penalty area, and then he looked for Hou Lai.

He has no opinion.

If Hu Lai was replaced by a boy who just came to Europe, he would definitely slander the head coach's arrangement in his heart.

But he won't feel bad about making a wedding dress for someone who can break the "iceberg".

Not to mention Hu Lai's goal just now.

Strictly speaking, that is not a very good opportunity.

Because the defensive players and offensive players are posted together, too close to each other. Not enough space.

But Hu Lai still relied on his strong ability to judge the football's landing, accurately found the space where he could kick, and completed a wonderful volley.

The reason why Sevilla Voyager goalkeeper Dulic didn't make a save is because he didn't expect Hou Lai to complete the shot in that place.

Di Kunzo is only 1.68 meters tall, and he is really inferior in terms of grabbing ability.

Most of his eighteen goals last season were scored after breaking through.

He can contribute an average of 3.8 dribbles per game, which can be ranked in the top ten results in the entire Europe.

Scoring in this way is very inefficient.

But if it's used as an assist...

The diminutive Di Kunzo has a very low center of gravity, so although his physical strength is not strong, he can still face physical confrontation in dribbling.

It looks staggering, but it is not so easy to lose the ball.

Like right now, he's catching the ball with his back to the offense.

Sevilla Navigators midfielder Becker was behind him, not wanting him to turn.

But Di Kunzo took advantage of his low center of gravity, simply flipped the football to the side, and then turned around...it turned successfully!

When Becker stretched out his foot to steal the ball, he went around and sent the football to the Sevilla Navigator's penalty area!

Facing the central defender Poyatos who came up to intercept him, Di Kunzo raised his left foot to make a cross pass. The tricked Poyatos paused for a moment, trying to intercept his passing route, but he lifted it up. The left foot followed and dunked the football into the penalty area!

When Poyatos wanted to turn around again, he was obviously a beat slower.

Compared with the short and flexible Di Kunzo~lightnovelpub.net~ he is like a big robot with rusty joints.

When Di Kunzo broke into the penalty area, there were boos from the Sevilla Navigator fans in the stands.

During the booing, Di Kunzo continued to bring the football forward. After leading the goalkeeper Duric to the front point, he passed the football sideways with his right foot.

Montero glanced at Hou Lai in the middle, and found that he was speeding up and wanted to go around to grab a point, so he hurried forward to block Hou Lai's route.

As a result, Hu Lai just feinted and shot around!

After making this fake move, he immediately flashed from behind Montero to the other side of him, still going forward, but not from the right, but from Montero's left!

Squeeze in between Montero and Artur!

Seeing Hu Lai coming in, Artur quickly raised his hands, indicating that he didn't move.

With a yellow card on his back, he is really in a state of panic now, and he is afraid of sending the opponent a penalty kick, and if he receives another yellow card, he will have to end...

Montero watched the football pass to his left, then turned around and saw Hou Lai appearing there, blocking Arthur behind him.

Artur made half of the tackle and didn't dare to continue. He raised his hands and half-kneeled on the line of the small penalty area.

Hu Lai lifted his right foot unaffected, crossed his ankle, and knocked the rolling football towards the empty goal!

Goalkeeper Dulic turned over and rushed back, it was too late!

"gooooooooooooooooool!! Hu! Hu! Scored twice! The Madrid Pirates lead the Sevilla Navigators 3:1 away!"
