Fox in the Penalty Area - Chapter 442

Hu Lai stood in the interview area, behind him was a background board with the logo of the Champions League sponsors, and in front of him was the lens of a microphone and a camera.

“…I’m so grateful to the Blue and White Munich fans who were willing to applaud me after I beat their team and achieved a new record. I was really moved…really. I never thought of that. To be able to enjoy such treatment…Tonight will definitely be the most memorable moment of my career. For me, to be able to get the applause of the opponent’s fans is a greater honor than breaking records…”

After the game, the home team’s locker room was dead silent.

Losing the semi-finals and being eliminated from the competition was a huge blow to the Blue and White Munich players.

They put in a season of hard work, and now it’s in vain.

Everyone back in the locker room didn’t want to talk, they sat in their seats, staring blankly at the ceiling, or the floor.

This was no ordinary Champions League semi-final defeat.

They were completely defeated by Hu Lai with three goals in six minutes at their own home.

As a Bundesliga giant, Blue and White Munich has never had such a tragic moment.

And now, they made history.

It’s just this history… unforgettable.

Only the players are in the locker room at this time, and all coaches and staff are not allowed in.

Because this is a “sad moment” that belongs only to the players.

If there are outsiders, their emotions cannot really be relieved.

Players need a moment to lick their wounds alone.

The locker room door was pushed open again.

Captain Soren Griebusch came in with a football.

He looked around, then looked at Tobias Schlitt, the team’s second captain: “Tobias, do you have a marker?”

Although Schlitt didn’t understand what the captain was going to do, he still replied, “Yes.”

He dug out a black marker out of nowhere and handed it to Gribusch.

After the latter took the pen, he opened the cap and lowered his head to sign his name on the football he was holding.

After signing it, he handed it to Schlitter.

Schlitt looked at the football suspiciously, then looked up at the captain: “This is…”

“Help me sign your name, Tobias,” explained Griebusch. “This is the football I want from Hu…”

Hearing Hu Lai’s name, everyone in the locker room lowered their heads in silence, and turned a blind eye to the captain’s actions after he came in.

Seeing everyone looking over, Gribusch simply said to the team: “This is the ball that Hu scored a hat-trick in the game, and he wants to keep it as a souvenir. At the same time, it is also his record-breaking ball, so he wants to make it happen. His teammates signed for him. I happened to meet him, and I wondered why there can only be one team’s signature. This game is obviously a contest between two teams… So I asked for the football on my own initiative, I hope everyone can sign their names on this ball.”

Hearing what the captain said, a group of people looked at each other.

What is this operation?

Hu Lai wanted this ball as a souvenir, that’s normal.

It’s normal for his teammates to sign him.

But as his opponents, the object of his record-breaking, why should we sign him?

Seeing everyone’s puzzled eyes, Gribusch said, “Did you not see our fans standing up and applauding Hu after Hu scored the third goal? Since they can all applaud Hu. , why can’t we be more generous? Whether it’s the record itself, or the way he set it, it really deserves our respect.”

Hearing that, the vice-captain Schlitter no longer hesitated, took the football and the pen, and signed his name next to Griebusch’s name.

Then he handed it to the next teammate.

In this way, one by one, everyone signed on it one after another.

After Martin Lozada had signed, he was going to give the ball to the next guy.

But he hesitated while looking at Mark Becker beside him.

Asking Becker to sign this is like stabbing him in the wound…

Just when Losada hesitated, Becker took the initiative to take the football and the pen, bowed his head and signed his name on it, and then handed it over to the next one.

Like a drum beat, the football was passed in the hands of everyone in the locker room, and finally returned to the hands of captain Griebusch.

“Thank you for your cooperation. It turns out that the reason why Blue and White Munich is a giant is not just because of results.”

After Griebusch thanked everyone, he turned around and walked out the door with the football in his hand.

He thought he had to go to the visiting team’s locker room to return the football to Hu Lai.

Unexpectedly, just after opening the door, he saw Hu Lai standing outside anxiously.

I don’t know why Gribusch suddenly thought of how he was waiting anxiously outside the delivery room when his first child was born.

And the football in his hand has become a newborn baby…

The strong sense of disobedience caused Gribusch to throw this picture out of his mind.

Then he complained to Hu Lai: “What is your expression? Are you afraid that I will steal your ball?”

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai really nodded: “Yes! If you don’t come out, I’m going to smash the door!”

Gribusch took a deep breath: “I kind of regret letting my teammates autograph for you…”

Hu Lai heard the words, and at the same time saw the densely packed names on the football, and his face quickly put a smile on his face: “Thank you! I know you Munich people are very particular, you can’t just hack me a broken football!”

He also gave Gribusch a thumbs up.

Griebusch stuffed the football into Hu Lai’s arms, turned around and went back to the locker room.

Originally, he wanted to show a gentleman’s demeanor, but when he saw Hu Lai’s face, he suddenly stopped thinking about it.

Hu Lai didn’t care about Gribusch’s sudden change of face. He carefully held the unsigned side of the football, hummed and turned away.

Soren Gribusch returned to his locker room, and the second captain Schlitter came up, covered his mouth and whispered: “Are you planning to brush Hu’s favorability so that he can consider coming to our team in the future? ?”

Gribusch turned his head to look at him and nodded to admit: “I also got inspiration from the applauding fans. If he really thinks about leaving the Pirates in the future, then what happened here tonight may make him in the When choosing a team, we are more emotionally inclined towards us…”

“I guess it’s… but the devil knows when he’s going to want to leave the pirates.”

“No matter when, there’s no harm in selling someone right now.”

Schlitt gave his captain a thumbs up. He really admired this captain who was always thinking about poaching for Blue and White Munich.

“I’m very happy that I was able to break the record with a hat-trick. After Becker’s goal, the only thing we could do was to give it a shot… We gave it all and got a good result… at this moment , there are so many people I want to thank, please allow me not to repeat them here, this is not an awards ceremony after all… But the only one I want to thank especially is our head coach, Mr. Ettore Parrotti , he gave me the greatest tolerance and the highest trust, he is a respected coach, we all like him very much. Leading the team to the Champions League final is the best embodiment of his work, and we will The whole team will work hard to win the Champions League and we have this confidence under Mr Parrotti…he is our manager and the ‘captain’ of this team.”

After reading the German subtitles of Hule’s interview, Michel Stad told Hantschek:

“He’s talking for Parrotti on purpose.”

Hantecek shrugged: “He is a player introduced by Parrotti. He doesn’t help Parrotti to speak, so why should he speak for me?”

“Buyon, I feel like you’ve lost all your goodwill in the hearts of Pirate fans this time. It was supposed to win, but now we’ve been eliminated…”

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Hantecek what he thought of Parrotti’s team accomplishing what he hadn’t done before when he was coaching the Pirates – reaching the Champions League final.

Hantecek said with his usual arrogant attitude: “I congratulate Parrotti and his team, but I also have to say that the final is only the beginning, not the end. It is dangerous to celebrate with the idea of ​​reaching the final. Yes. If you lose the final, it seems to me no different from stopping in the semi-finals…”

“Actually, you don’t need to say that, you just need to congratulate the old club. The game is over, there is no need to fight any more psychological warfare. I can imagine how the Spanish media will scold you tomorrow, saying that you cursed the old club. Lose the final…”

Stade persuaded his old partner.

Hantecek suddenly asked, “Michelle, do you know why I didn’t renew my contract with the Pirates?”

Stad didn’t understand why Hantecek suddenly mentioned this matter, but he really wanted to know, because Hantecek didn’t tell anyone why he didn’t renew his contract, not even his partner.

So he asked, “Why?”

“In the season we lost to the Torino Bulls, we were also empty-handed at home, and we only won one Copa del Rey in the last season~www.mtlnovel.com~ After reviewing the game, I felt that this team was better than before. They have the fighting ability, but I am afraid it will be difficult for them to win the Champions League. I am not confident in myself, I am not confident in this team. I feel that my stuff does not fully apply to this team…”

Hantecek said.

“Staying in the Pirates, the team won’t win the championship because of my staying, and I will lose the chance to become the top coach in the world. I think it’s a lose-lose. So I decided not to renew the contract with the club, regardless of them. What conditions were offered. As you see, I won the treble in my first season in Blue and White Munich, and it turned out that I was right not to renew the contract with the Madrid Pirates.”

Michel Stade asked: “So you think the Pirates won’t be able to win the Champions League?”

Hantecek shook his head:

“No. I mean…now I think they can win.”

With that, he smiled at Stade.
