Fox in the Penalty Area - Chapter 466
, the fox of the restricted area
“At the beginning of this game, the King of Madrid put forward the speed and rhythm… The two teams have played each other a lot in the league, and they are very familiar with each other. They don’t need to test each other at all. So the Kings attacked in the way they were best at. The pirates’ back line…”
Ten minutes into the game, He Feng told the Chinese fans in front of the TV his observations of the ten-minute game.
In these ten minutes, although the Pirates kicked off the ball, it was the King who dominated the field and created more chances.
As analyzed by experts and celebrities before the game.
The Kings of Madrid have more experience in finals and they know how to play the Champions League final.
The players are more confident and dare to make moves.
This is a very important advantage for the proactive party.
The Madrid Pirates were obviously constrained by their lack of experience in the Champions League final, and they played more cautiously after the start of the game, so they were on the defensive.
No matter how coach Parrotti stressed to the players in the dressing room before the game that this was just an ordinary game, the fact would not change.
The truth is that this was no ordinary game.
This is the Champions League final!
No matter how you hint at ignoring the special significance of this game, the halo of the Champions League final cannot be erased.
So the Pirates players played carefully after the game, for fear of making mistakes.
Of course, this was also because they tried to slow down the pace of the game according to Parrotti’s tactics.
As long as the ball is at their feet, they will not pass forward immediately, but pass laterally or pass back.
Unless the opportunity is particularly good, it will be passed forward.
“Parrotti wants to turn the Pirates’ midfield into a quagmire, so as to trap the King’s players moving forward.”
In the stands, Tony Clark was chatting with his friend and assistant Matt Dawn about what he had observed.
“Parotti is a solid head coach. And their midfield does have an advantage relatively — after Kyrie dropped back,” Matt said.
“But I don’t think that’s right, Matt.” Clark shook his head. “Ten minutes into the game, Hu didn’t get a shot at goal. If I had Hu, I would never let such a savage situation happen…”
Matt joked: “You did have it, Tony.”
Clark was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “Yes, we used to have it.”
He continued: “If I were Parrotti, I would make the team play a little bit more aggressively, put the ball at Hu’s feet more, let him shoot, do everything possible to create scoring opportunities for him. Instead of thinking about slowing down the king first…”
“Not everyone is a ‘madman,’ Tony.” Matt laughed. “Put away your occupational disease, we’re just here to cheer Hu.”
Clark touched his chin and stopped talking.
But rather than saying that he was a prisoner of occupational disease, it would be better to say that he misses Hu Lai a little.
This season, Leeds finally finished sixth in the league and qualified for the European competition again after a year, although it was the Europa League, not the Champions League.
But for Leeds City, which is not a giant, such a result is already very good.
The club even gave him a new contract to renew for another three years to show their satisfaction with Clark’s work.
Clark has signed the contract, and it is a coach’s happiness to be able to work in a club that supports him at a high level.
It’s just that Clark still feels pity for Hu Lai’s departure. He even imagined that if Hu Lai did not leave, maybe he would not be standing in the stands of the Champions League final today, but in the coaching bench on the sidelines.

“The King of Madrid has been very aggressive during this time, especially Meli, who is very active!”
Just as He Feng was talking, Meili got the ball again.
He took the ball with his back to the attacking direction.
Knock the football behind you while catching the ball.
The football slipped through the crotch of Madrid Pirates left-back Ion Martinez defending him!
Merry turned around and sprinted!
He is as flexible as a loach!
As a fast full-back, Ion’s turning speed is actually not slow, but compared with Merry, he is still slow.
By the time he turned around, Merry had already left him and was about to cut from the wing to the middle.
At this moment, Tonini, the left midfielder who was returning to the defense, pounced on him and knocked Melli, who had cut inward, to the ground.
The referee’s whistle sounded along with the boos.
“Tonini fouled! In the twelfth minute of the game, the King of Madrid won a free kick in the frontcourt!”
This was actually just an ordinary foul, but the players of the King of Madrid immediately surrounded him. Some of them were looking for trouble for Tonini who fouled, while others put pressure on the referee, hoping to get Tonini a yellow card.
If the referee resisted their pressure, then if Tonini was stimulated and couldn’t hold back, maybe he would also take the initiative to apply for a yellow card.
It’s also part of the experience of the Champions League final.
However, Tonini shouted fiercely in the face of the provocation of the King’s players, but did not move his hands-this is one of the experiences of the Pirates players in the battle with the King.
So the Kings players were busy.
The referee didn’t give Tonini a yellow card for this foul either – the final has just started 12 minutes, and such a foul is not worth a yellow card at all.
However, the fans on both sides in the stands were excitedly scolding each other.
The narrators were also very excited:
“This is the derby! The first Madrid derby in the history of the Champions League final! It is said that the final has no name since ancient times, but with the bonus of the Madrid derby, maybe this game will become a ‘famous game’?”

The referee did not give Tonini a yellow card, and the two sides began to prepare for this free kick.
The place where Tonini fouled was on the rib that transitioned from the wing to the middle, and the straight-line distance from the goal was about 312 meters.
The Madrid Pirates arranged for four players to line up the wall, while the others mingled with the Kings’ attacking players in the penalty area.
On the King’s side, the two midfielders, Dudu Carlos and Albin Estrom, stood in front of the football, and both of them could take free kicks.
After the whistle sounded, Dudu passed the football to the goal with his left foot, but the height was not high enough, the football hit the wall, and was cleared by Madrid Pirates defender Riva Moreno in the wall.
But at this moment, the referee suddenly blew the whistle to suspend the game, and at the same time firmly pointed his hand… at the penalty spot!
“Eh?!” He Feng was shocked, “What’s the situation? The referee awarded a penalty?!”
There was also an uproar at the scene!
The Pirate players spread their hands and looked puzzled, while the King of Madrid players cheered.
When everyone was still a little stunned, the TV broadcast gave the video to slow down in time.
Through the slow-motion replay, the football can be seen bouncing off the wall of the Madrid Pirates.
At first, some people speculated whether it was a wall player from the Madrid Pirates, but when they saw the slow motion, they found that the football was hitting the wall player’s body, and there was no handball.
The football bounced down and fell into the penalty area, and both sides fought for the ball.
In the scramble, Cerrados and Moreno got together, and Moreno took the lead to clear the football.
But while he was clearing the siege, his open arm hit Therados in the face!
Yes, he stepped forward, waved his hand back, and then slapped Cerrados, who was sticking up to grab the ball…
Cerrados, who was hit, covered his face and fell into the penalty area.
Only now did everyone know how the king’s captain suddenly fell…
There’s nothing to say about it. Regardless of whether it’s intentional or not, if you hit someone with your arm, that’s a foul.
After all, he rounded his arm and swung it out. In the eyes of the referee, it could not be regarded as a “normal and reasonable” defensive action.
“…This is really…” After seeing the slow play, He Feng was speechless, “Moreno is an experienced defender anyway, so he shouldn’t open his arms at this time…”
“Actually, Moreno was a subconscious action, mainly because Cerrados was too active, and he posted it soon…” Yan Kang justified Moreno in two sentences.
But whether or not to justify, the sentence cannot be changed.
Moreno pointed to himself and asked the referee to complain, indicating that he didn’t do it on purpose. The referee ignored him and went straight to the penalty spot.
At this moment, the boos over the center court are thundering.
Both the Madrid Pirates fans and the Kings fans were booing.
The former thinks that the penalty should not be awarded – their reasons are the same as Moreno himself, they all think that it is not intentional and should not be awarded.
The latter thinks that the referee only awarded a penalty and did not give Moreno a yellow card!
This is a direct slap in the face of Therados!
As the main central defender of the Madrid Pirates, if Moreno can get a yellow card in the first 12 minutes of the game, then the next game will be much easier for the King.
But the referee just awarded a penalty and didn’t give a card, which is equivalent to letting the pirates go.
The Kings fans are naturally dissatisfied.
It’s just that their dissatisfaction quickly dissipated, after all, they won a penalty kick.
On the contrary, the anger of the Pirates fans became more and more intense. In the end, only the boos of the Pirates fans were left in the stands, mixed with the cheers of the Kings fans.
The coaches of the two sides also showed diametrically opposite states on the sidelines-after the penalty kick, the Kings coach Roy Wei raised his arms and shouted ~www.mtlnovel.com~ had already celebrated in advance.
Parrotti first spread out his hands to protest the appeal to the fourth official, then returned to the coach’s bench and kept shaking his head at his assistants. Obviously he was very dissatisfied with the penalty, but he had no choice but to complain a few words. , there will be no more aggressive words and actions.
As expected of a “good guy”.
If it is replaced by Hantecek, I am afraid that I will have to compete with the fourth official…
Seeing that the result could no longer be changed, He Feng and Yan Kang sighed:
“The game has just started ten… Four minutes, the Madrid Pirates will be sentenced to death. For them who have no experience in the Champions League final, such a start is simply hell…”
Neutral commentators were very excited. For example, British commentator Matthew Cox shouted excitedly: “It was only fourteen minutes into the game, and there was already a penalty kick! If the King of Madrid can take advantage of this penalty kick, Madrid will take the lead. Can the Pirates be able to play so steadily? If the Madrid Pirates also attack and meet the king who is sharp and direct in attack… I don’t know how many goals will be scored in this game!”
He is eager for a goal battle in this game. As for who wins the championship, he doesn’t care very much.
