Chapter 26 There is still a long way to go

"Fifteen minutes into the second half, Leeds City is still at a disadvantage. The home team Bay Lighthouse continues to attack their penalty area and seems to want to use the time just beginning of the second half to score more goals. But so far

So far, the score is still 1:0, and Bay Lighthouse has not been able to expand its lead..."

When the live score subtitles were played on the TV broadcast screen at the 60th minute, the commentator He Feng also gave a spoken broadcast.

 Leeds City adjusted their tactics in the second half. They no longer defended and counterattacked at their own doorstep, but began to try to attack out.

However, the morale of the Bay Lighthouse is so high that it will be difficult for Leeds City to completely reverse the decline.

 At best, you will be more decisive when you seize the opportunity to fight back.

The only good news is that when Hulay touched the ball, the Bay Lighthouse fans booed less loudly than in the first half. I don’t know if they were tired of booing, or because they had a hatred for Hulay after taking the lead.

The value is not that high either.

 Or in other words, after a lackluster performance in the first half, Hulay's threat level in the minds of Bay Lighthouse fans plummeted, and it was no longer worth the effort for them to boo.

He Feng was confused about this.

 On the one hand, he certainly hopes that the fans of the home team will stop targeting Hu Lai, so that as a fan of Hu Lai, he can feel better.

On the other hand, he felt that if the Bay Lighthouse fans reduced their boos because Hulay could not create a threat, wouldn't it mean that Hulay performed poorly in this game?

Why do they, the Chinese, who are thousands of miles away, stay up late in front of the TV to watch the game? Don't they just hope that Hu Lai can perform well in the first Champions League match for Chinese players?

 What does “excellent performance” mean?

 The best thing is of course scoring goals.

 Scoring the first goal for a Chinese player in the Champions League, then today's game, no matter what the final result is, for Chinese fans, it will be considered a success.

“Dad, when you participated in the Europa League for the first time, did you get such treatment?” Qin Qi asked suddenly while sitting in front of the TV.

Qin Lin glanced at him: "What kind of treatment?"

"Uh...it's..." Qin Qi, who has gone to high school, is no longer the ignorant little kid he was before. He was keenly aware of the slight change in the tone of his father's words, so he didn't say what he originally wanted to say.

come out.

Qin Lin did not continue to embarrass his son, but said with a straight face: "No."

 “Ha, that’s good, that’s good...” The son made up for it.

Qin Lin didn't care about what he said, but continued: "After all, we don't have such 'good' luck as Hu Lai, who met the Turkish team in the first game."

“Then Brother Hu, Brother Hu...can he still score the first goal for our Chinese players in the Champions League?”

 Qin Lin shook his head: "I don't know. It's not a big deal if you can't score. It doesn't mean you have to score in the first game..."

 Qin Qi wanted to speak but stopped.

 “What do you have to say.”

At being glanced at by his father, Qin Qi shrank his neck and said: "Well, but I read on the Internet that Brother Hu has a 'tradition' of scoring goals in the first game he participated in..."

Qin Lin was amused: "Where did this feudal superstition come from? Do you believe that kind of nonsense? Did he score in the first FA Cup match? Let's not talk about far away, let's talk about close... He scored in the Community Shield

Yet?"

 Qin Qi was speechless.

"To say that he will definitely score a goal in the first game he participates in is a 'survivor bias'. It's just that when he scores a goal, it will be publicized, and in games where he doesn't score, everyone pretends not to see it...

"

Qin Qi nodded: "Oh..."

"Watch the game honestly, don't just watch the excitement. I finally convinced your mother to let you get up in the middle of the night to watch the game, not to make you care about whether Hu Lai can score." Qin Lin's tone softened at the end.

Some.

On the Jiaxiang High School football team, his son, who was originally capable of playing multiple positions, was fixed at center back and showed amazing talent. Qin Lin hoped that Xiao Qi could achieve higher achievements than himself in the future, so he naturally had to be careful

nourish.

 Take him to watch football, increase his knowledge, and let him learn from the game... Just like he taught Xia Xiaoyu in the beginning, Qin Lin now not only regards Qin Qi as his own son, but also as the successor and proud disciple of his football career.

  ※※※

 Hu Lai now feels that the pressure on his ears is much less, and the feeling of playing football amidst the craziest cicada chirping in the first half is gone.

Although the fans of the Bay Lighthouse still wanted to boo him and scold him, the storm had changed from a violent storm to a moderate to heavy rain.

 Compared to the home team fans in the stands, it was the Bay Lighthouse players who caused him more trouble on the field.

 They are rough and aggressive in their actions.

This is also the football style of the Turkish giant Gulf Lighthouse. Playing in such a frenetic home court, it is difficult for the players to stay calm. Everyone seems to be pumped with adrenaline, and it is easy to get headaches.

Even if Hu Lai is equipped with [Broken Bear Leg Guards], the chance of injury is greatly reduced, but it will still hurt if he is kicked in the leg...

But because he has become the key defensive target of the Bay Lighthouse, other Leeds City players face much less defensive pressure.

Hulay also took the time to run to his strike partner Lasky and said to him in Polish: "You must pay more attention to my movements during the game. I am being stared at very hard by them, but I still think about it."

There are ways to create opportunities. Don’t stay too far away from me, otherwise when the opportunity comes, it will be a pity if you are not in the position..."

 Lasky nodded repeatedly and accepted it humbly.

He even thought about the last game against Stan Park Rangers. Not long after Hulay came on the field, he hit Stan Park Rangers goalkeeper Lemos with a shot, but he was half-slow in reaction in front of the goal.

Shoot, failed to appear in time for the ball to land, and missed the opportunity to score his first Premier League goal.

 And this time, he will definitely not miss the opportunity again!

Although Dominik Laski is well-known as a genius in Poland and has high hopes, but after coming to Leeds City, his attitude was still very straight in front of Hulay.

  After all, Poland’s number one talent is really not enough to win the Premier League Golden Boot, the Best of the Season and the World Cup Golden Boot...

 Leave aside the World Cup, I haven’t proven myself in the Premier League yet.

After Hulay approached Lasky, the latter indeed paid special attention to Hulay's movements during the game.

 Not long after, Charlie Potter sent a cross.

 Hu Lai ran forward, seemingly trying to grab the landing spot.

The Bay Lighthouse defenders were following him, staying close to him.

 And it’s not just one person, it’s two people.

With such defensive intensity, it is no wonder that Hu Lai has not yet been able to score the "first goal of a Chinese player in the Champions League" that Chinese fans have longed for.

 Bay Lights centre-back Burak Manteguru followed Hulay in case he got a chance to get away from himself and get a shot.

He doesn't care where the football is now, his eyes are fixed on Leeds City's No. 14.

At this moment, he saw Hu Lai's body swaying, and then suddenly fell forward!

Upon seeing this, Mantegulu raised his hands reflexively and signaled to the referee that he did not move his hands when Hulay fell.

 So this is definitely not a foul on your own!

But when Hu Lai fell to the ground, he didn't hear the whistle.

On the contrary, the football passed quickly over Hulay's body and also flew past the stunned Manteguru...

Laski was just behind Hu Lai and saw the football flying over, but he didn't expect it at all. Because all his attention was attracted by Hu Lai's sudden fall. He even wanted to raise his arms and hit him.

The referee signals a foul to the opponent...

Before he could make a move, the ball flew over and then flew away from his eyes!

 "Porter's cross... Hulay fell down! And! Laski... Oops!"

 He Feng saw that Laski made no move and let the football fly past, and he shouted regretfully.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Kamara suddenly coming out from behind Lasky, facing the flying football, and directly swung his feet sideways!

 Half volley!

 The football was hit by his instep and flew towards the Bay Lighthouse goal like a cannonball!

Gulf Lighthouse goalkeeper Atakan Arslan, who is also the goalkeeper of the Turkish national team, was obviously affected by Hulay's fall in front of the goal. His reaction was half a beat slow. When he saw the football flying towards his goal, he turned back.

Flying into the air, it's too late...

 He failed to touch the ball!

 The football shot directly through his fingers and flew into the goal behind him!

"Brilliant!! Ismael Kamara!!" Matthew Cox shouted loudly, "He scored the first goal in the history of Leeds City in the Champions League! He also helped Leeds City equalize.

score!!"

  ※※※

Laski saw the football flying past his eyes, and then he came to his senses and realized what he had missed. He quickly turned around and tried to make up for it. As a result, as soon as he turned around, he saw Kamara coming out from behind him and turning half sideways to face the football.

Volley.

That muffled sound echoed in his ears!

 Kamara, who scored the goal, first looked into the goal to confirm that the football flew into the goal before looking back.

Then he glanced at Lasky who was close at hand, then looked at Hu Lai who was rushing forward, and then ran up.

Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground, looked up and saw the football in the goal. He knew that the goal had been scored, so he got up from the ground and wanted to hug Laski to celebrate - he thought the goal was scored by Laski...

 As soon as he stood up, Kamala hugged him into his arms.

“Huh?” He was surprised when he saw Lasky running up from behind Kamara’s shoulder with an annoyed look on his face, and then he realized that the goal was not scored by Lasky, but by Kamara!

 Charlie Potter also ran up, hugged them, and complained: "Ismail, why did you run up to hug Hu? Didn't I pass the ball?!"

Kamara pointed at Hulay and said: "He has beautiful breasts..."

After Laski understood this sentence, his eyes widened: Hu Lai just missed the ball?!

When Hulay saw this, he knew that Lasky probably didn't expect that he would suddenly miss the ball, so he missed this opportunity.

Sure enough, after finishing the celebration and returning to his own half, Lasky found Hulay and explained to him in Polish: "I thought you were pushed down... I was going to call the referee..."

Hu Lai pointed at Charlie Porter who was running in front: "The height of that kid's pass was neither high nor low, which was very embarrassing. When he jumped, he could easily hit the crotch, and when he bent down, it turned into a header... So I had to throw my whole body

Only by lying down can the football pass."

 Lasky covered his face with his hands.

Hu Lai patted him on the shoulder: "Stop thinking nonsense. No matter what the situation is next time you have a chance, shoot the football into the goal first. You see, Ismail is very experienced... Even if the goal is disallowed by the referee

It’s better to come out than this.”

The Polish genius was speechless and could only nod to show that he remembered.

With Hu Lai, he felt as if he still had a long way to go...

PS, I haven’t coded for nearly a week, and it’s really hard to find the state again. As soon as I got home, I went back to writing until two or three in the morning every day... It turns out that when I was traveling, I could still write every day.

I went to bed between ten and eleven, and got up at six or seven the next morning. My schedule was regular and healthy. But now my wife said that I went back to before liberation overnight, and she went back to the days of a widowed marriage...

I feel like I should try not to stop typing for a week before finishing this book. In the future, even if I have to go out for fun, I will take my computer with me and try to write as much as I can.

 Even if you go out and write two or three chapters for a week, you still have to keep yourself in a writing state as much as possible.

 If you really want to relax completely, wait until this book is finished...

I have made a rough estimate. According to my current writing speed and the length of the plot, I can write it until at least next year. But I don’t know whether it will be the first half or the second half of next year.

 In short, I will not set a timeline for the completion of the book in advance, and then all the work will be directed towards this timeline.

 I will not deliberately speed up the writing in order to complete the book. I will still follow the previous rhythm and writing techniques and take my time.

 But in order to catch up with a certain time point, I will not deliberately fill the book with water, repeat the game plots from season to season, and try to stretch the book as long as possible like ramen.

When and how to finish the book must be decided based on the content of the novel itself. I will take the trouble to write about everything I want to write, just like the plot of the World Cup. I can’t wait to cover every minute of the ninety-minute game.

Write it down.

But I won’t be polite when it comes to the places that need to be mentioned. Maybe a few months will pass in the book after one chapter.

With the beginning of the wave of Chinese players studying abroad in the book, I will not always focus on Hu Lai alone, nor will I only write about Hu Lai and his group.

So please don’t be surprised if Hu Lai does not appear as the protagonist in several chapters in the future.

Finally, there are double monthly votes for the first four days of August, so please vote for us and help us move up the rankings on the monthly vote list. This will allow more people to see this book, and the results will be great.

better.

  After all, the average order of this book is only 1,500 away from 10,000. It would be a good thing if this process could be accelerated...

 Thank you everyone!
