Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 53: Take it easy

Chapter 1726

Hu Lai only tried it once. First of all, is the competition really a place to try new things frequently? Second, he only needs to try once to know the result, and there is no need to try more times.

He is not the kind of unbelievers who insists on doing it again and again.

Now the score between the two sides is still 0:0, he is not qualified to squander and waste opportunities.

Still have to help the team score and take the lead.

It's just how to break through the tacit chain defense of Mortensen and Mattioli?

Fans may only see Mortensen and Mattioli teaming up to defend Hu Lai, but Hu Lai, as a witness, feels more.

Every time he got the ball near the box, it looked like Mortensen was posting it, but in fact the two were still in constant physical contact.

Hou Lai was being hit by Mortensen in places that the televised footage couldn't capture.

Mortensen, who is 1.9 meters tall, is a very strong central defender. Even if he didn't deliberately bump into Hu Lai, just relying on his own weight to squeeze in, it would still make Hu Lai feel uncomfortable. Not to mention that he did make full use of his advantages in strength and used reasonable collisions to squeeze Hu Lai's space for the ball.

Regardless of whether Hu Lai controlled the ball or not, the physical contest between the two sides did not stop.

Under his interference, it takes a lot of physical energy for Hu Lai to just run and grab the landing point, let alone control the ball when he is defending close to him.

Coupled with the tacit cooperation with Mortensen next to him, Mattioli, who is eyeing Hu Lai.

As long as Hu Lai has a slight mistake or flaw in ball control, Mattioli will immediately rush to steal the ball.

There have been several times in the game. Hu Lai tried his best to resist Mortensen and got a chance to shoot. The result was either destroyed by Mattioli, or he shot under Mattioli's interference. The deflection is too positive...

So it is not easy to get rid of these two central defenders who cooperate with each other and score goals.

Hou Lai also faced the Italian team last season, and he still paid more attention to defending the Turin Bulls.

But at that time, the two central defenders of the Turin Bulls, Petro Nazari and Paul Arce, were not in their peak state-mainly Paraguay's legendary central defender Paul Arce, who was already thirty at the time. At the age of six, his physical condition is far from what it used to be.

Moreover, neither Arce nor Nazari is a powerful central defender like Mortensen, and Hou Lai can withstand physical confrontation.

Although Mortensen is not flexible and fast, his shortcomings are made up by Mattioli.

So he can concentrate on fighting with Hu Lai.

This made Hu Lai very uncomfortable.

But this is not the most uncomfortable thing. The most uncomfortable thing is that the two first-class central defenders "served" him alone, passed Mortensen, and then Mattioli came up again.

Hu Lai felt that it would be unwise to make himself a one-on-two.

The other party may wish to be like this.

But if you want to score, you can't play one against two.

In comparison, Mortensen is relatively easy to deal with, because despite his strength advantage, he is not flexible enough.

If you want to score, you have to fight Mortensen one-on-one, and you can't let Mattioli have the opportunity to intervene in the duel between the two of them.

※※※

Hou Lai is trying to break through the blockade of Mortensen and Mattioli.

Rossini is also trying to create scoring opportunities here to help Insubret take the lead.

Playing the Madrid Pirates away, the result given by the head coach Piandi is that as long as he can defend a draw, he will be satisfied.

Rossini's understanding of "holding a tie" is definitely not really strictly guarding against death, but to create a situation leading by one goal.

Only if we are ahead can we hold the tie.

Otherwise, it would be bad for the Madrid Pirates to keep attacking like this.

It's not that he doesn't trust his defender teammates, but he knows that defense itself is a passive side, and the initiative is in the hands of the opponent, so we can't pin our hopes on the opponent's disadvantage in offense.

Helping the team score a goal, this is his contribution to the team's defense as an offensive player.

Rossini, who was born as a forward, actually has the ability to break through with the ball. So he's going to catch the Madrid Pirates by surprise...

They thought they would be afraid of Ramirez, a world-class midfielder, so they only dared to stay behind, then they would suddenly kill them!

He quickly found an opportunity to ask his teammates for the ball.

Then dribble forward with the ball.

But he was soon stalked by Vukovic.

The original attacking midfielder has now become an all-round midfielder who can both attack and defend.

Rossini was stopped by Vukovic before he met Ramirez.

He had to slow down to deal with Vukovic first.

But when he was concentrating on dealing with Vukovic, a person suddenly rushed up next to him, bumped into him, stretched out his foot and stabbed the football away!

Rossini staggered and almost lost his balance. He looked back and saw Joaquin Bella, No. 6 of the Madrid Pirates, catching up with the football and passing it forward!

A huge cheer erupted from the stands at Pirates Park.

"Bella steals the ball! Beautiful! Counterattack by the Madrid Pirates!"

Joaquin Bella passed the ball to Camara, who did not dribble down the ball immediately after receiving the ball, but first observed the situation ahead.

He found that it might be because Subre was still attacking just now, and now he has switched from offense to defense, not everyone is in position.

The front door is relatively empty.

But if he dribbles the ball again, the opponent will come back-the Italian team's return speed is still quite fast.

So Kamara decided to take a little risk and pass the football directly!

The reason why it is a risk is because it is very likely that the Madrid Pirates' offense will fail because of his kick. After all, this approach cannot ensure the accuracy of the pass, and naturally there is no way to guarantee the success rate of the offense.

It is very likely that the ball was finally grabbed by the backcourt, and a good counterattack opportunity ended his risky diagonal pass.

But when you are attacking, you should take risks.

"Kamala...a direct cross from a forty-five-degree angle!"

The commentator didn't expect that Kamara would make a direct pass, let alone Insubre's defensive players—before he passed the ball, Insubre's defensive players were still waiting in front of him to prevent his breakthrough with the ball .

The football arced in the air, flew high over Insubre's backfield, and headed straight for their goal.

"There's only one fool in the middle!" He Feng was also surprised, thinking that Kamara passed the ball too hastily.

As long as Hu Lai can't form a shot, the attack will be considered a failure.

Even if Hu Lai can control the first landing point, due to lack of support, Hu Lai will be in a tight siege, and there is a great chance of losing the ball. After all, long-term possession of the ball is not what Hu Lai is good at.

In his mind, Kamara should break through with the ball, which can not only further disrupt Insubre's defense, but also wait for other Madrid Pirates players to come up to respond.

※※※

The football flew into the penalty area of ​​Insubre in the air.

Insubre's two central defenders were in the penalty area, but Mattioli did not go up to Hu Lai, but took his position nearby.

Mortensen and Hou Lai ran towards the football landing point.

The football flew over from the right in front of them, and they looked up at the ball while running to confirm where it landed.

Then Mortensen suddenly noticed that Hu Lai was approaching him. He reflexively thought that Hu Lai was here to compete with him for the landing point, so he immediately stretched his body and squeezed the approaching Hu Lai to the outside, or said, " Collide".

When he "bumped", Hu Lai bounced off like a ball.

But after Hou Lai was bounced off, Mortensen was surprised to find that the football fell to the place where Hou Lai bounced off!

He suddenly realized that maybe when Hu Lai approached him, he wasn't here to grab the landing point, but to deceive him, telling him to stay where he was and not go up to grab the landing point with Hu Lai!

It was too late for Mortensen to pounce on Hu Lai again.

As for Mattioli, the longer the distance, the more impossible it is to come up to stop Hu Lai-he originally wanted to wait for an opportunity to come up to make up for the defense.

Who would have thought that Mortensen would push Hu Lai further and further away from them!

"Hu Lai! Chance!"

He Feng, who was still moaning before, let out a howl.

Many Chinese fans in front of the TV cheered up and stared at the screen.

Seeing that Hu Lai, who was "bumped" towards the landing point of the football, raised his right leg while running, as if he was going to volley directly!

Insoubre's goalkeeper, Omar Tori, kept his center of gravity low, ready to vacate for a volley at any moment.

Then he saw Hu Lai's right foot swung towards the football, but the posture of his ankle seemed to be a bit wrong...

Ordinary people will straighten their insteps if they want to volley, so that the football drawn out has strength.

But Hu Lai's ankle was left aside, more like... an action to push and shoot.

But his legs are swung from bottom to top, how to push and shoot?

Push it to the sky?

Before Tori figured this out, Hu Lai's feet had already touched the football.

It's not a volley or a push, but...a "end" of the football up!

Tori was about to pop out to both sides of his body, but he didn't expect the football to fly upwards!

He was like a leaky ball, all the energy accumulated in his body was drained, completely useless.

The body swayed, but finally stayed where it was, and then looked up dumbfounded to watch the football fly high above the height of the crossbar.

Then fall down from that height ~lightnovelpub.net~ to the far corner behind him...

And he couldn't do anything except stand where he was and turn around to watch him off.

Not only him, Mortensen, Mattioli, all three Insubre players in the penalty area can only stand on the ground at this moment, watching the football fall from the sky and fall into their goal...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!"

The Spanish commentator Sanchez connected the exclamation and cheers together, and then he changed his breath and started the traditional performance of the Spanish commentators. The football commentator "Guankou":

"Hu-le! Hole! Hole! Hole! Wonderful goal! Like a dream! The football is as light as a feather, and Tori was caught off guard! Whether it is Mortensen or Mateo Li, facing such a beautiful offense, there is nothing they can do! They can only watch! Watch like a fan! Their position is the seat! The best viewing point!"

In comparison, He Feng's words are much simpler and clearer:

"Wow! The goal is scored! Hu Lai! This goal is so beautiful! Audience friends, what is the goal of 'lifting weight like light'? This is it! It is smart, elegant, and deadly!"
