Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 79: Meli

Hu Lai, who used a penalty kick to score in the first half, was eventually replaced at halftime.

Now that he has completed the task of scoring, it doesn't make much sense to stay on the court.

After Hulet went off the field, the rotation of the Madrid Pirates played against Pamplona at home still very anxious.

In the second half, French midfielder Damian Dia extended the lead for the Madrid Pirates.

But in the 79th minute, the Madrid Pirates' goal was still broken by Pamplona.

Just one goal, Pamplona was greatly excited, launched a fierce offensive in the last ten minutes, hoping to draw the Madrid Pirates away.

Fortunately, no matter how the rotation, the main goalkeeper Jonathan Haywell still started.

The last ten minutes became his show.

He continued high and low gears, made two very wonderful saves, and tried to keep the goal.

The Madrid Pirates were able to beat Pamplona 2:1 and won the league's six consecutive victories.

However, because Catalonia defeated Sebastia 4:1 at home in this round of the league, the Madrid Pirates can only be ranked second.

Catalonia wants to get rid of the Madrid Pirates, but they can only count on their archenemy, the Madrid Kings, to give them some strength in the next round of the league.

As long as the Madrid Kings can defeat the Madrid Pirates, while Catalonia defeats the Phoenicians in the away game, the lead can be extended to three points.

As the defending champion of the season, Catalonia naturally hopes to be able to win the championship again.

Originally, they did not regard the Madrid Pirates as a rival to the league championship. They were wary of the Madrid Kings.

How can I think that the Madrid Pirates are in such good form after the start of the season...Of course, the main reason is that Hu Lai is in good condition. He seemed to have no adaptation and running-in period at all, seamlessly connecting, after coming to Madrid, the pirates directly killed the Quartet.

Hulet’s goal directly brought three victories to the Madrid Pirates:

In the first round of the league, Hulay’s hat-trick helped the team Cui beat the Seville Navigator 4:1 away; in the third round of the league, Hulay scored twice, and the Madrid Pirates defeated Sebastia 2:1 away in the league. In the sixth round, Hulet scored a penalty kick and opened the scoring for the team. In the end, the Madrid Pirates won Pamplona 2:1 at home.

If Hulay’s goals were not counted in these three games, the Madrid Pirates would have scored two draws and one loss, with only two points.

Hu Lai alone helped the team score seven points.

Besides, this is still a simple elementary school arithmetic problem. And the football game is not so simple. Without Hulai’s goal, the team’s morale and mentality will be completely different, and the final result is likely to be very different from what it is now-a match that was originally a tie will become a failure...

His importance to Madrid pirates is self-evident.

So basically no one cares about any recovery from Maxi Carey's injury.

If this is replaced by the injury that Maxi Carey suffered before the World Cup last season, the media has been discussing until his return from injury. Even if he did not perform well after recovering from injury, he has always been the focus of the media.

Because of Carey's injury, the Madrid Pirates had no results in the League, Copa del Rey and Champions League last season, and the three fronts were completely defeated.

The impact of his absence on the team is evident.

And this season, it was also Carey who was injured and missed, but the Madrid Pirates were advancing all the way, clinging to the defending champion in the league.

The only thing that can stop them may really be the next King of Madrid.

"Let Melly play."

Standing on the sidelines, watching the 1:1 score on the big screen, Madrid Kings coach Jimmy Roivi gave instructions to his assistant coach Fernando Gonzalez.

Meli Banega, who had been warming up before, quickly stood on the sidelines, ready to play.

The commentator said: "Royvey finally couldn't hold back and put Meli on the field. Now that the Madrid Kings have encountered Agel's tenacious resistance in the away game, they really need a blaster like Meli..."

Like Parotti of the Madrid Pirates, Roivi also made a rotation adjustment to the King's starting lineup for this game.

Their purpose is the same, for the weekend derby in the same city.

And their opponent is similar to that of the pirates, not strong, and he is ranked 17th.

But Eger was as tenacious as Pamplona, ​​who was one place below them.

Seeing that there are only more than twenty minutes left in the game, the Madrid Kings still can't take the lead, and Roivi can't sit still.

The Madrid Kings are not only going to win the same city derby next Saturday, they are also going to win the championship. So even if it is a rotation, it is not a reason for not being able to win Ahl in an away game.

Before Melly played, Royvey had already used up a substitution spot and replaced the main center Ryan Van den Berg.

However, he was not replaced to allow Van den Berg to score, but to strengthen the control of the Madrid Kings in the Agel penalty area.

Belgian international Van den Berg is a strong center forward with first-rate ball skills, but a slightly weaker scoring ability.

But the Madrid King didn't expect him to score. When he partnered with Cerrados before, he was a tactical center who was specifically responsible for attracting defensive firepower to Cerrados and passing assists for him.

So although there are times when Van den Berg will have "happy moments" in which he can't make a goal in the face of an empty goal, which has attracted criticism and ridicule from many fans, his position is very stable under Roivi.

This season Roivi adjusted the Madrid King’s formation to 433 and brought Meli, who was originally in the midfield, to the front line. Van den Berg will not only serve Cerrados, but also play for Meli. Valley

In this game, both Melly and Van den Berg were on the bench, and the only starting lineup was Captain Cerrados.

Now with Melly's appearance, the king's main striker has finally gathered.

Royvey is going to give Aher a fatal blow.

Take the three-pointer back to the home court to face the deadly enemy pirates.

※※※

Meli retraced to get the ball in the frontcourt.

After being pushed to the forward line, he often retreated to the midfield to get the ball like this.

This is his playing habit, and it is also what the head coach Royvey asked him to do.

Although he is nominally a forward, he is sometimes more like a free agent in the frontcourt.

Intersperse running positions on the left and right sides and back and forth, using his own drive to promote the team's offense and create chaos.

Hu Lai has scored goals in this afternoon's game, scoring nine goals in six league games, ranking first in the league's scorer list.

Naturally, Meli didn't want to stay behind.

After retreating to get the ball, he turned and rushed forward.

After attracting enough Ehl players, he pushed the football forward to center Van den Berg.

After passing the ball, he didn't stop, but moved forward slightly after moving laterally.

On the edge of the penalty area, Van den Berg received the ball with his back to the goal, and used his physical advantage to resist Ehl's central defender and knocked the football sideways.

Melicha came up at this time, led the football in front of him, and shook away the Ehl central defender who shoveled hastily.

Amid the exclamations and screams of the Ehl fans, Meli, who broke into the penalty area, shot a low shot!

The football ran towards the far corner of the goal against the turf.

Even though the goalkeeper of Aigel fell to the ground to save and stretched his handle as far as possible, he was still a step late!

The football rubbed the far post and rolled the goal!

"Melly-Banega!" the narrator snarled in a prolonged voice. "Melly! Melly! Beautiful! He scored again! He scored two consecutive league rounds! This is his seventh goal in six league rounds! He is chasing Hu!"

※※※

Alfonso Candela, who watched the game live on TV, saw Meli's wild celebration after scoring, and thought of Meli's previous conversation with him.

Melly was really... was stimulated by Hu Lai.

Such Meli has never been seen in Candela's memory.

Last season was the best season for Meli’s statistics. He scored 38 goals in the league plus cup and UEFA Champions League ~lightnovelpub.net~ Even so, he did not score seven in the first six rounds of the league. A ball...

Coupled with a brace in the Champions League, Meli has scored nine goals in seven games.

If this momentum can continue, Melly's goals this season can definitely easily exceed forty goals.

Candela really wants to thank Hulay, and more thanks to the Madrid pirates.

If they hadn't intercepted King Hu and snatched Hu Lai, how could there be Meli like today?

If Hulai had joined the Kings, with Hulai's scoring ability, how could Royvi allow Meli to get so much firepower?

At that time, Meli is afraid that he will become a special support for Hu Lai assists...

Even if Melly can break through and dribble the ball, Hu Lai will be the last to score a goal in the limelight.

To be honest, this may be a good thing for the Madrid Kings team.

But for Melly himself, it was definitely not a good thing.

Now this is the best way for Melly.

The Madrid Kings will focus all resources on Meli, and Meli himself is also eager to be strong.

Candela believes that as long as Meli can get good enough results, the next "Four Kings" must be Meli Banega!

Although Hulai can score a goal, he is far less spectative than Melly...Don’t take that barb goal as an example, as Klein said. Such a goal is a gift from God. In Hulai All of his goals are rare cases.

Therefore, Hu Lai must be no better than Meli when it comes to the appreciation of playing football.

At that time, Meli is not only good at scoring goals, but also very enjoyable, winning both honors and fans...

Simply invincible in the world!

As Melly's agent, Candela couldn't help but get excited at the thought of such a future.
