Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 91: Time is running out for the king

"Awesome! Hu Lai is awesome!"

"Awesome!"

"Fuck me, Hu Lai's a dick!"

In front of the TV, an unknown number of Chinese fans jumped up and waved their fists while cheering loudly.

This game kicks off at 10:00 p.m. in China. For Chinese fans, this is the best time to watch the game. It will not kick off at 6:00 p.m. It will not conflict with the prime time of various TV dramas and variety shows at eight or nine o'clock.

After ten o'clock in the evening, it belongs to the fans.

Therefore, a large number of fans watched this game, and some of them were not even fans, because the time was right and they came to join in the fun.

These people are undoubtedly lucky, because they witnessed Hu Lai's two wonderful goals in this game.

It would be great if some of them could fall in love with football because of it.

In addition to cheering in front of the TV, a large number of fans flocked to the Internet to express their feelings at this moment.

"When I scored with my first left foot, I thought it was luck. But two consecutive left foot goals, can't it be called luck?! Hu Lai's left foot has already done a great job?!"

"Although I am a Kings fan, I am also cheering for Hu Lai at this time, because Hu Lai is the pride of our Chinese football! There is no king in front of the country!"

"Brother! If only all Kings fans could be like you...I saw someone who claimed to be a Kings fan scolding Hu Lai on Weibo..."

"Friends, don't pay attention to such idiots. I believe that the vast majority of Chinese Kings fans are sensible!"

"Hahaha! How can I feel so happy when I hear the boos of the Kings fans?! Hu Lai is doing great!"

"Although many of our players have played in Europe this season. But sure enough... It really depends on Hu Lai!"

Li Qingqing saw Hu Lai rushing to the corner flag area, she also jumped up from the sofa, and made the same celebratory gestures as Hu Lai in front of the TV.

Then she turned around and looked at Hu Lai on the TV and smiled happily.

In another villa about tens of meters away from her, Maxi Carey's son also performed the same celebration and cheered at the same time: "Great! We are two goals ahead!"

Then he asked his father: "Dad, can we win this game?"

Kyrie sat on the couch, gaping at the court.

He didn't answer his son's question.

The televised footage showed Hullai embracing with his team-mates as they surrounded him and celebrated under the North Stand at the Crown Stadium.

And Maxi Carey, the derby hero who once scored the only goal for the Pirates in the 2022-2023 Madrid Derby and helped the team defeat the King in this stadium, can only sit on the sofa in his living room now Come on, be a... spectator.

This team seems to no longer need him, the former hero.

Because they have a new hero.

"...Hu scored twice to help the Madrid Pirates lead the Kings 3:1 in the away game! The precarious situation for the Pirates was suddenly reversed! The morale of the King was hit hard! The Pirates with a two-goal lead can also be more calm Defensive counterattack..."

On the TV, the commentator Alvarez Sanchez babbled.

A few minutes ago, it was the same him who said that the Madrid Pirates were in danger, and a tie was a satisfactory result.

On the TV, the Crown Stadium was extremely noisy.

Boos, curses, and cheers from 5,000 Pirates fans were all intertwined and spread to the living room through satellite signals and TV speakers.

"Left foot again?! It's luck this time?!"

Roy Wei stood in front of the coaching bench, spread his hands and questioned his coaching staff.

No one answered him, even the assistant coach Fernando Gonzalez, who thought Hou Lai's left-footed long-range shot was a dribble, shut up at this time.

A left-footed goal can of course be called luck, no problem.

But what about two left-footed goals?

And for the second goal, Hu Lai obviously deliberately deceived Peralta with a right-footed shot, and then shot with his left foot.

Why did he use his right foot to cheat?

Because the Peral tower defended Hu Lai's right foot.

A feint with his right foot and a real shot with his left foot means that he knows that his left foot is capable of scoring.

Under such circumstances, it doesn't make sense to say that scoring with a left foot is just luck... It doesn't make sense, it's an insult to people's IQ.

So Gonzalez can only draw one conclusion, that is, from the beginning, Hu Lai deliberately made them think that his left foot is unusable, but in fact his left foot can be the same as his right foot!

Gonzalez himself was horrified when he came to this conclusion—how could this be possible?

It's no secret that Hu Lai was not good at left foot before. He himself admitted in previous interviews that his left foot is far worse than his right foot.

Gonzalez has also heard that after the transfer to the Madrid Pirates, Hou Lai seems to be consciously strengthening his left foot training.

But even so, the same sentence - how is this possible?

He came to the Pirates in late July, and it has only been two months now.

Two months!

Train your left foot from zero to 100 in two months?

No, don't say one hundred, even if you get to sixty points of the passing line, that's impossible!

In Gonzalez's twenty-four years of coaching, he has never seen a player improve so much.

It's not that he has never seen those geniuses. For example, Meli is such a super genius.

These geniuses are always savvy, they can easily understand the problems that ordinary people need to think for a long time to understand.

They can also easily do tricks that others take a great deal of time and effort to learn.

But this learning is something they are born with.

Was Hu Lai born with a left foot?

Gonzalez couldn't understand how Hou Lai learned to score with his left foot in two months.

He could only give himself another logical conclusion in his heart, that is, Hou Lai did not start practicing his left foot after he came to the Madrid Pirates, but he did it as early as in Leeds City.

This also makes sense.

He hit a football in his face with his left foot in the Europa League quarter-finals, and was ridiculed that his left foot was equivalent to disability. Perhaps it was at that time that he started training his left foot?

It has been almost half a year since then.

Although the time is still very short, it is better to accept than two months, right?

But these are the analysis in Gonzalez's own heart, he didn't say it out.

Because now is not a good time to share your experience with Luo Yiwei.

The team trailed by two goals with less than thirty minutes left in the game. It's pointless to dwell on how Hou Lai managed to score with his left foot all of a sudden.

Royvi finally replaced the midfielder Orsay with the 19-year-old Russian winger Andrei Kalashnikov.

This is the way to strengthen the offense.

Kalashnikov, who only transferred from Russia to the King of Madrid this summer, is a talented winger in Russia. He is fast and has a strong ability to attack forward.

In Russia, he is known as the "Russian Meli", a testament to how good he is at dribbling.

Andrei Kalashnikov and Meli do have some similarities, and it's not just that they are good at dribbling.

In terms of body size, he is also relatively close to Melly-neither is very strong, nor tall. So flexible.

Speaking of which, Kalashnikov and Hu Lai still had a relationship once - in the 2026 World Cup in the United States and Canada, Kalashnikov, who was only 18 years old, participated as the youngest player in the Russian national team. But only came off the bench for eight minutes in the final game against Algeria...

There was nothing wrong with him in the game against the Chinese team. He watched the whole game from the bench.

So he and Hu Lai only met once, but never fought against each other.

The King of Madrid's scouting system finally landed Kalashnikov this summer after observing him in Russia for two years.

After coming to the Kings, Kalashnikov ran at both ends. While receiving training with the first team, he also went to the second team to participate in the second team competition. This way he could adapt to Spanish football as soon as possible.

Occasionally, however, he is placed in the squad for first-team matches.

Like this Madrid derby.

Royvi prepared a backup player because he considered that Meli might be marked by the Pirates during the game.

Now this backhand has worked.

After replacing the defensive midfielder Orsay, Royvi intends to let Meli retreat to the midfield position he was familiar with before, centering in the front.

And leave the original right winger position to Kalashnikov who just played ~lightnovelpub.net~ This formation is still 433, but it is more offensive and murderous.

The King of Madrid is ready to fight to the death.

There are more than 20 minutes left in the game. If they want to continue their record of victories against the Pirates at home for four consecutive seasons since the 2023-2024 season, the King of Madrid will have to score three more goals...

There is not much time left for the king!

The sky above the Crown Stadium was full of shouts from Kings fans.

They don't know how many times they shouted the famous slogan in this game:

"Forward! King! Never give up! Fight to the end!"

"Forward! King! Never give up! Fight to the end!"

But this time, I don't know if the king's spirit can shine and work...
