Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 404: The charm of football 1

Luo Kai ran all the way to score the football. When celebrating the goal, his eyes were full of tears and his nose was red.

This scene all appeared in the footage of the TV broadcast.

But most people don't know the real reason why Luo Kai was so excited after scoring, only when he was happy that he was able to score in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

With the replay of the goal, He Feng and Yan Kang were full of praise for Luo Kai's performance, throwing out all kinds of obedient words as if they didn't want money.

For Chinese commentators, this game is probably the most neutral one.

Whether it is Hu Lai or Luo Kai, their outstanding performance will be sincerely praised by the two commentators.

It's just that Luo Kai scored a goal, so the two praised Luo Kai more strongly.

It was so big that Xie Lan in front of the TV was a little upset when he heard it:

"Oh, this ball is like a lore..."

How could Hu Lixin fail to understand the hidden meaning in his wife's words?

He laughed: "It's really not easy for Luo Kai to score a goal in the Champions League, so it's okay to praise a few more."

Xie Lan remained silent, she still understood the truth of "rare things are more valuable".

Her son has scored goals in every game now, and the tone of the commentators must not be as excited as when he scored his first goal abroad in the Premier League.

She suddenly pointed to Luo Kai on the screen and asked her husband: "You promised to let your players watch the video of the game, but now that Luo Kai has performed so well, the limelight even overwhelmed our son, are you embarrassed?"

"What's so embarrassing?" Hu Lixin asked with a smile, "I think it's better this way."

"Why?"

"A wonderful contest is always better than a one-man show. If both of them can perform well in this game and play a wonderful game, then it is just right for me to show it to children, and they can feel more of the charm of football. One of the greatest charms of football is to compete with others and have good opponents. Besides, don’t you have confidence in Hu Lai?”

"Who doesn't have confidence?"

"Then why do you think that Luo Kai scored a goal and Hu Lai was overwhelmed?"

"Hey!" Xie Lan didn't expect Hu Lixin to turn against the customer.

Seeing her like this, Hu Lixin smiled happily: "So watch the game with peace of mind."

Vukovic's goal for the Pirates of Madrid came in the 30th minute, and Roquet's equalizer for Tramed came in the 40th minute.

Not long after his goal, the first half was over.

In the last few minutes, it was impossible for Tramed to pursue the victory, and the Madrid Pirates could not quickly score a goal to overtake the score.

The two sides chose to slow down the pace tacitly.

Any adjustments will wait until the intermission.

Back in the dressing room, Madrid Pirates coach Parotti did not blame the team for conceding a goal late in the first half.

It is normal for the team to be attacked by the opponent because they want to score another goal.

If you criticize the players because of this kind of thing, then the next time this happens, the players may be timid and afraid to take risks.

So not every conceded goal has to find someone to take responsibility.

Conceding the ball is part of the football game, and sometimes you have to take it easy.

Parotti skipped the conceded goal and went straight to telling the players what to do in the second half.

Parotti's countermeasures were strong against Tramed's rapid assaults on both flanks - we also attacked from the flanks to press Tramed's offensive back.

If it was the Madrid Pirates last season, I'm afraid they don't have such confidence.

The main reason is that Silviglio, who was on the right side last season, performed poorly and his state was unstable. Now that it is Kamara, the biggest shortcoming has been made up. Of course, Parotti is confident that his team will face the opponent head-on on the wing.

Tramed is not the only one who can fly on both wings.

Meanwhile in the visiting dressing room, Trammed manager Kevin Locke was full of praise for his players:

"You did a good job, boys! Although we conceded a goal, we withstood their fierce offensive at the end of the conceded goal, especially the defense against Hu was in place! We were also very decisive when we counterattacked! Continue to play like this in the second half, resolutely make a fuss on the wing!"

Then he praised Luo Kai by name: "I don't ask for more from you, Luo. I just hope that you continue to play like you did in the first half."

Hearing what the head coach said, although Luo Kai nodded without any expression on his face, he couldn't help but burst into joy in his heart—this is exactly what he hoped to hear.

Praise and recognition from the head coach.

This means that after this game is over, his status in the team will change. He is no longer just a player who starts in insignificant games and can only be rotated in important games.

Luo Kai secretly swore in his heart that he would work harder and desperately in the second half than in the first half.

He can't control a lot of things, but he can decide his own game attitude.

That is to live up to every minute of appearance!

※※※

After the two sides adjusted and recovered after the intermission, they changed sides and fought again in the second half.

At the beginning of the game, the Madrid Pirates, who were playing at home, launched a fierce attack on Tramed's goal.

And it was launched from the side.

Maxi Carey moved to the right and, with his help, Kamara sped up to the football and slashed towards Tramed's penalty area after doing a wall run with him on the wing.

Ricardo Balia quickly chased back, and when Kamara crossed, he tackled and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

"Nice defense!"

Amid praise from British commentator Matthew Cox, Barea rose from the ground and glanced back at Kamara.

The two have clashed quite a bit in the Premier League, and they are very familiar with each other.

The two of them landed in the Premier League at the same time, and the first encounter was impressive.

At that time, the two fought fiercely, and Barea was once intercepted by Kamara directly by speed.

For Barea, who is very fast, this is a great shame.

Since that fight, Barea has been very concerned about Kamara.

Later, every time the two faced each other in the Premier League, there would be a direct dialogue, although Kamara and Barea could not be directly on the field-Camara in Leeds played on the left, and he played in Tramed. It's true that Barea on the left doesn't match up - but the two of them have to get together even if they switch positions with their teammates.

Sensing Balia's gaze, Kamara asked back, "What are you looking at?"

"It's a good run, but it's a pity that you met me." Balia responded.

"Oh? Really? Then you'd better follow me closely." Kamala retorted. "Don't get lost."

※※※

The Pirates of Madrid's corner was headed by Danny Drew in the box, but he headed the ball high with a close interference from Tramed centre-back Luis Payson and did not threaten Trame Germany's goal.

It was Tramed's turn to attack.

Ricardo Balia took the ball on the left and tried to get past Kamara, who was tackled off the touchline.

He shoveled with the ball, but the referee did not call Kamara for a foul.

This made Barea very upset, and he stood up and roared at the referee in protest.

Kamara sneered next to him: "Don't be like a wronged child."

Hearing this, Balia turned and glared at him.

Seeing this, Kamara snorted coldly: "What? Did I say something wrong? If you fall, you will only complain to the child who complained to the referee."

But his heart was shouting excitedly: Come on, push me! Hurry up!

However, under his slightly provocative gaze, Barea, who was still very angry just now, calmed down. He said to Kamala: "I remembered, you and Hu have a good relationship."

After speaking, he turned and ran away.

Only Camara was left looking disappointed and depressed at Ricardo Balea who ran away.

I have a good relationship with Hu, what does it have to do with you?

You are getting started!

What are you running! ?

※※※

Barea was not fooled by Camara, but this does not change the fact that Tramed's two flanks were held down by the Madrid Pirates.

Barea was blocked on the left and Rokai was also trapped on the right.

Since he scored a goal in the first half of the game, he was also heavily marked by the Madrid Pirates in the second half.

Especially Madrid Pirates' left-back Ion Martinez.

This full-back usually has strong offense and weak defense. On the one hand, it is because his offensive ability is stronger than his defensive ability. On the other hand, it is also because he prefers offense to defense and is not willing to defend.

But now, he followed Luo Kai tightly, preventing the opponent from having any space to dribble.

Luo Kai tried to force a breakthrough with the ball once, but was pushed up by Ion, and he pushed back directly, and the ball also fell to Ion's feet.

"The defensive intensity Luo Kai faced was significantly higher than in the first half!"

"However, in a sense, this is also a good thing. It means that Luo Kai can indeed threaten the defense of the Madrid Pirates, so he will be valued by the Pirates' defenders..."

※※※

After seeing such a tough countermeasure of the Madrid Pirates on the sidelines, Kevin Locke immediately made adjustments.

He let the team recover properly, slow down, and slowly deal with the Madrid Pirates.

Anyway, this is an away game, and Tramed can completely accept a draw.

On the contrary, the Madrid Pirates may not be able to bear being tied by Tramed.

So as long as Tramed is patient, he will wait until the Madrid Pirates players become impatient.

Then is Tramed's chance.

Of course, Tramed's recovery is not a completely passive defense.

He still maintained the team's ability to fight back.

Because he knows very well that if he just defends passively and is not prepared to counterattack, he may not be able to defend the score of 1:1 in the end.

After all, the Madrid Pirates have Hou Lai.

Although he has not scored a goal so far, no one dares to underestimate him.

Not to mention now, even if he didn't score in the 89th minute, who can guarantee that he won't score in the 90th minute?

At this moment, Hou Lai got a chance to shoot in the penalty area. Although he was pushed aside by Luis Payson, he still kicked the football to the goal!

It was a high-quality shot, forcing goalkeeper Tom Walker to save the football with a narrow margin!

"Keep an eye on him! Don't give him a chance!"

Kevin Locke nervously pointed at Hou Lai and yelled from the sidelines.

Not only him, goalkeeper Walker also pointed at Hu Lai and shouted the same words after turning over.

No one dared to turn a blind eye to Hu Lai.
