Fox in the Penalty Area - Chapter 446
In the steps of the Madrid Pirates who want to achieve the “Triple Crown”, the Champions League is considered to be the most difficult, because the opponent is the strongest and has a special hatred bonus.
The Copa del Rey is the easiest, because the opponent Saria is not strong.
The league is in the middle, and in theory, the Madrid Pirates may have a very high chance of winning the title. The third-placed King of Madrid has withdrawn from the title race early, and they can only put all their hopes on the Champions League final.
But the Catalans still hope to compete for the league title.
They are only four points short of the Madrid Pirates. If they can beat the Madrid Pirates in the thirty-seventh round of the league, they can reduce the difference between the two sides to one point, so that the final round may create a miracle.
In the final round of the league, Catalan United is at home against Athletic Corvette, and the Madrid Pirates are away against Real Huelva.
Both teams are currently in the relegation zone and have the opportunity to land. It’s the toughest team to play.
Another advantage of Catalan United is the home game, Madrid Pirates can go to Real Huelva’s home.
What if they were really overthrown by Real Huelva on the road?
At that time, won’t the Catalan United create a miracle of reversing the championship?
No matter how slim the hope is, there is always a dream, what if it comes true?
Of course, to achieve miracles, you must first do your own thing.
For example, we must first beat the Madrid Pirates on the road, and then return to home to beat the Corvette Athletic.

The Catalan United team arrived in Madrid the day before the game, and in the evening they will have a training session at the Pirates Park and attend a pre-match press conference.
Typically, pre-match press conferences are attended by one or two players.
Bernal wasn’t surprised when Carlos Cordero approached coach Jose Bernal and said he wanted to attend the pre-match press conference.
“I knew you were looking for me.”
He even said that.
“But I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing to have you in the pre-match press conference…”
Afraid that the coach would disagree, Cordero fought hard and said, “Of course it’s a good thing, 100% good thing. I dream about that game a lot now, and I hope tomorrow’s game will be the end of that event. And even if I don’t Go to a press conference and almost all of the reporters’ questions are about me. I don’t want to be a coward in hiding.”
Bernal sighed. He knew he couldn’t convince Cordero, so he nodded: “Okay, I agree with you to go.”

“I came to Pirates Park with a very strong goal.”
At the pre-match press conference, goalkeeper Carlos Cordero really became the focus of everyone’s attention.
The Brazilian star Kabonca, who attended the press conference with him, seemed to be ignored.
However, Kabonka didn’t care. Hearing Cordero’s words, he patted his teammates on the shoulders to show encouragement and said he was standing with him.
Hearing Cordero say this, the reporters in the audience were also excited.
Everyone knows what Cordero is talking about-the eighteenth round of the league, the Madrid Pirates challenged the Catalan United away, and that game was finally the Madrid Pirates 4:1 victory over the Catalan United.
But more interesting than the results is the process.
The reason why Catalonia lost so badly is because Cordero made two very low-level mistakes in the game.
A direct pass to Kamara, helping Kamara to assist and score.
Another wild shot resulted in Cordero’s release, sending the ball over his shoulder and into the goal.
Cordero became the target of criticism after the game, although he said the first mistake was a deliberate trap created by Hu Lai, which did not relieve the pressure he was under.
Of course, Hu Lai also shared some of this, but Hu Lai doesn’t care…
It’s time to scold, I won, what’s the matter?
Cordero didn’t have such a good mentality, because Catalonia really lost.
It now seems that if the Catalan United did not lose in that game, even if it was a draw, the difference between the two teams would not be four points, but one point.
“Heaven Comes”
As long as Catalonia defeats the Madrid Pirates in this round of the league, they will be able to firmly control their fate without looking at the faces of other teams in the last round of the league.
So if the Catalan United did not win the league championship in the end, it can be said that they failed in the eighteenth round of the league, and they were doomed to miss the league championship.
Then Cordero, who made two mistakes, must bear the main responsibility.
“I know I made two mistakes in the last match, but it happened for a reason. Besides, it proves that if Hu didn’t use those bad tricks, he wouldn’t be able to score with me… I know that Hu has been 32 in a row. He has scored goals in every round of the league, so his streak streak is over!”
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar at the press conference.
Reporters finally hear what they want to hear most!
Carlos Cordero challenges Hu Lai!
He wants to end Hu Lai’s consecutive scoring record!
Will Hu Lai respond?
※※※
Hu Lai did not attend the pre-match press conference of the two sides. He was stopped by reporters on the way to the locker room when he got off the bus.
“I watched his (Cordero) interview. As for the record thing, I said from the beginning, I don’t really care how long I can keep the record. From the moment I set the record, I It’s clear that any record is made to be broken. So he’s going to end my record? No problem. Anyone can end my record.”
After simply answering the reporters’ questions, he followed the other teammates to the dedicated channel.
The reporters were talking behind him:
“Hu is so low-key?”
“Oh, what a pity, Hu didn’t answer. The two didn’t quarrel!”
“I think Hu’s approach is right. What’s the point of fighting so much before the game? Can Cordero really end Hu’s record? Don’t you know when the game is over?”
“Hu Zhen is getting more and more mature. Instead of fighting with Cordero, it’s better to talk about the scene…”
Chinese reporters also whispered together:
“Spanish reporters think Hu is getting more and more mature? Can’t they hear the sarcasm in Hu Lai’s words?”
“That’s right. What ‘anyone can end my record’ means ‘I’m going to hit ten’!”
“Cough… To be honest, if I didn’t know enough about Hu Lai’s true face, I wouldn’t be able to hear it…”
“Eh, don’t talk nonsense, don’t just guess what other people think. There is no such thing as ‘I want to fight ten’, there is no yin and yang strangeness. If Hu Lai didn’t say it, let’s not guess. Report the truth and it will be over.”
“Eh, that’s right! That’s right! Hu Lai kept a sober head when facing the challenge of Cordero, and was not disturbed by the outside world. He was single-mindedly focused on the game! He had a thunderous chest, and his face was like a flat lake. Be the general! Hu Lai is awesome!”

The Madrid Pirates got a throw-in just five or six meters past the midline.
Tonini, who was the closest to the football, took the ball thrown by the caddie and tried to serve it.
But it was stopped by Yoon Martinez.
“Go away, Tonini! Go!”
Yin Weng ran up and waved Tonini back on the court.
He’s coming for the throw-in.
Nicknamed “The Grenadier”, Yoon Martinez is known for throwing the foul ball with his powerful hand.
If it is a throw-in very close to the penalty area, the Catalan team will be highly nervous.
But the ball is a little far from the goal and the penalty area, and it is difficult to threaten the goal, so Catalan’s defense focus is still on Tonini who ran a distance along the left side.
They believed that Yoon Weng was going to play with Tonini and throw the football to the Brazilian fullback.
Unexpectedly, Yin Weng retreated three or four meters with the football in his arms-because there was a billboard on the side of the court and there was not enough space, he still retreated diagonally.
Seeing this situation, the Catalan United players immediately realized that Yin Weng was about to “grenade” again!
They immediately looked for possible catch targets.
Who else could it be?
Of course it’s bullshit!
Originally, there was a Catalan United center defender Paul Fortune next to Hu Lai, but now he has another center defender, Joel Jimenez.
Two people want to double-team Hu Lai.
At this moment, Hu Lai suddenly started forward and ran behind the two central defenders!
This puts him in an offside position.
But… it’s not offside on the foul ball!
So although Hu Lai inserted behind the two of them, he was offside.
But Yin Weng on the sideline still tried his best to throw the football to Hu Lai in the distance!
The football flew about 30 meters in the air and landed in front of the Catalan United penalty area!
This is outrageous!
“Yin Weng! Strong throw-in! Great shot!
”
Catalan goalkeeper Carlos Cordero immediately pressed forward, but instead of abandoning the goal, he shortened the distance between himself and Hu Lai and blocked his shooting angle.
At the same time, Joel Jimenez chased from the side, trying to squeeze Hu Lai to the wing.
He succeeded.
Because when Hu Lai stopped the ball, he really used the outer instep of his left foot to stop the football to the outside.
Others also followed the ball, deviated from the goal, and the angle became smaller and smaller~www.mtlnovel.com~ But after catching up with the football, Hu Lai did not give up the idea of shooting. Straight up the left foot!
One and a half turned around and shot!
The football is flying high towards the goal!
When Cordero saw the football flying, he jumped up immediately, raised his arms high, and made a save!
He didn’t dare to bet that Hu Lai’s kick would directly hit the plane…
His hand didn’t touch the ball!
The football flew over his palm and then suddenly fell!
The Cordero was still in the air, he turned his head hard and saw the football crash into his goal from the far corner!
After the throw-in, Yoon Martinez, who was standing on the sideline to watch the play, saw the football flying towards the goal from a distance, raised his arms, turned to the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands, and cheered with them!
Assist, it’s that simple!
“Ahhh! Hu! Hu!
! mess!
“Sanchez roared filial piety.” Only seventeen minutes into the opening, Hu took the lead for the Madrid Pirates! He scored the first goal and scored in the 33rd consecutive round of the league! The fifty-fourth goal of the season! Such a hoot is unstoppable! ”
He Feng roared: “Hu Lai! Beautiful! World wave! Difficulty turning around and shooting! He even played an elevator ball! Before the game, Cordero said that he wanted Hu Lai’s consecutive scoring record to end with him. Now His mission ended early! There is nothing to say, the ball is not offside, and the throw-in is not offside!”
Yan Kang was even more excited: “Isn’t Cordero unconvinced? Come on! Unconvinced by dictatorship! Hahaha!”
Carlos Cordero, who fell from the air, lay on the ground, staring blankly at the football in the goal.
This time he made no mistakes, and Hu Lai did not play any tricks.
But he still lost the ball!
