When Alexandra Cerrados, captain of the Kings of Madrid, knocked on the door of Mellie Banega's room, he was surprised to find that the TV in his room was playing the Champions League match between Catalonia United and Leeds City.
“You are actually watching the Catalan United game?”
Meili smiled and said: "I'm not watching the Catalan United game, captain, I'm watching the Leeds City game."
Cerrados was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Oh, Hu..."
Ever since Melly ran to find Hulay in full view of everyone at the best awards ceremonies in European football, his grudge with Hulay is no longer a secret.
Not only within the King of Madrid, but also in the outside world, many people know that Melly regards Julay as his opponent.
If this matter had been exposed a year ago, it would have aroused many people’s surprise and made them feel incredible.
But now after the World Cup, no one will think it is ridiculous for Melli to regard Hulay as his opponent.
After all, a Premier League golden boot, the best player in the Premier League, the top scorer in the World Cup... If he is not qualified to be Melli's opponent, is he humiliating Hu Lai or humiliating Melli?
Meli has basically completed a grand slam from the league championship to the Champions League in his club career, but at the national team level, he still has zero honors.
Although everyone agrees that he is recognized as the strongest among the younger generation of players, he is not yet strong enough to dominate all players.
Kabonka can fight him back and forth.
So as the second player after Kabangka to win both the Player of the Season and Best Young Player of the Season honors selected by the Premier League Players Association, why can’t Hulay be regarded as a threat by Melli?
Cerrados himself was also deeply impressed by Hulay.
Because of this World Cup, he scored four goals and had two assists, and won the World Cup Player of the Year. The World Cup Golden Boot was won by Hu Lai.
If Hulay scores one less goal, Cerrados can take advantage of more assists and win the World Cup's Golden Boot and Best Player.
“Do you think Leeds City can reach the knockout rounds?” Cerrados asked.
Meili shook his head: "I don't know, the hope is slim now. But as long as he can still participate in the Champions League, we can always meet in the game."
"It's difficult... Hu is a good player, but Leeds City..." Cerrados shook his head.
It’s not that he looks down on Leeds City, but he knows very well that it was a miracle that this team won the league championship last season. Let’s look at their ranking in the league this season.
Let alone the league championship, they probably won't even be able to qualify for the Champions League next season...
Merry also frowned when he heard the captain's words.
This is indeed a very serious issue.
If Hulay is unable to participate in the Champions League due to Leeds City's strength, how will he play against Hulay again?
Are you counting on the national team?
That’s even more elusive.
Meli looked at the TV screen that had resumed the game and suddenly said: "If he performs well in this game and is spotted by Catalonia... maybe Catalonia will sign him?"
As long as Julay goes to Catalonia, there is no need to wait for the Champions League, and Melli can often play against Julay.
Cerrados did not expect that such an idea would pop up in Melly's mind. He was shocked and waved his hands quickly: "Are you crazy, Melly? If he really goes to Catalonia, Mr. Sanchez will go crazy."
Meli remembered the "story" between the club's football director Xavi Sanchez and Hulay. He quickly stuck out his tongue and then laughed: "I forgot about this..."
Everyone knows that the King of Madrid really made a bid for Julay, but in the end Julay rejected the King of Madrid and switched to Leeds City.
People who knew about this at the time were just amazed by Hulay's courage, and some people felt sorry for him. After all, he just passed by the top giants Madrid Kings and missed what may be the only opportunity in his life to join the Madrid Kings.
But no one thinks that way anymore. People who know about it now look at Xavi Sanchez in a strange way.
There are rumors, it is said... It is said that after Hulay won the Premier League Player of the Year, the Golden Boot and the Premier League Championship, Mr. Xavi Sanchez's face was not good-looking in those days.
Meli didn’t know whether this was true, because he had not seen Mr. Sanchez during that time. This rumor was said to have come from people close to Mr. Sanchez.
But from the beginning of this rumor, everyone knew that Mr. Sanchez was not as calm as he showed about his failure to sign Hulay. When Hulay first emerged in the Premier League, some media asked Mr. Sanchez about his failure to sign Hulay.
Do you feel regretful or regret signing Hu Lai?
How did Mr. Sanchez answer: "The King of Madrid searches for enough talented players around the world every year, and everyone who can be chosen by the King of Madrid is of outstanding talent. So I am not satisfied with Hu's achievements in Leeds City.
It’s not surprising, because he has such ability. But regret? Sorry, the King of Madrid will not regret not being able to sign anyone, after all, we are the king.”
These words are very domineering, but Sanchez has the qualifications to say such things.
Countless professional players are crying and wanting to join the Madrid Kings. Some even go on strike to protest at their original club's home, or even take a vacation without returning, forcing the club to agree to the Madrid Kings' offer so that they can
You can successfully join your favorite team and realize your dream as a boy.
It’s not that no one has rejected the Madrid Kings. For example, players from Catalonia United will not transfer to the Madrid Kings easily.
But there are few young players who can resist the Madrid king.
There are always people who are not wanted by the King of Madrid, and there are very few people who are not wanted by the King of Madrid.
As for Hulay, everyone thought it was the King of Madrid who gave up on him, rather than his rejection of the King of Madrid.
But when Hulay won the Premier League title, this view changed. More details about the original transfer were revealed, and everyone knew that it was the player who rejected the Madrid Kings and would rather go to a newly promoted team in the Premier League.
And seeing Leeds City’s Premier League title, can anyone say that Hulay’s choice was wrong?
Faced with such results, everyone will think that the Madrid Kings will regret that they did not resolutely sign Jule.
Sanchez did not answer questions about Hulay in front of the media this time.
But this silence itself is very telling...
Cerrados waved his hand and decided to end the topic: "Go to rest early, Melly. We still have our game tomorrow."
“Don’t worry, captain. I’ll go to bed after watching the game.”
Cerrados said nothing more, nodded, closed the door and left.
After taking two steps, he stopped again and looked back at the door of Melly's room.
He suddenly remembered the rumor about Merry being a petty person.
When he first heard this rumor, Cerados scorned it.
Because Melli’s performance and small-mindedness in the Madrid Kings are completely different.
But looking at it now... Of course he is not petty, but Melly's obsession with Hu Lai is obviously not as simple as ordinary opponents. After all, the two of them have only fought once so far, but Melly has always remembered it until now...
Professional players have to play many games in their lifetime, and no one can guarantee that they will only win and not lose. Contrary to what many people think, the most important thing for a professional player may not be to pursue victory, but to learn how to face failure correctly.
It is certainly painful, regrettable, and unwilling to lose. But the more it happens, the more you have to learn to let go. If you are always immersed in the emotion of losing and cannot extricate yourself, then such a player will not achieve much.
He believes that Melli is not the kind of player who would be immersed in the failure of a game, but why is he so worried about the Chinese player?
Cerrados couldn't understand.
Could it be that you are really petty...
No, how can anyone be petty towards only one person?

Meli returned to the TV and continued to watch the live game while lying on the bed.
In the picture, Catalonia is attacking Leeds City’s goal.
If Melly remembers correctly, when the captain knocked on his door just now, Catalonia was attacking, and they are still attacking now...
Is this an unfinished offensive? Or are they still suppressing Leeds City?
He was half lying on the bed, leaning against the bedside, and continued to watch the Champions League group match between Leeds City and Catalonia attentively.
※※※
The lagging Catalan United were completely angered.
This is their territory, let alone Leeds City. Even if the King of Madrid dares to lead the Catalan United at the Sagrada Familia Stadium, he must be prepared to withstand the wrath of the Catalan United.
They launched continuous attacks on Leeds City.
Promoted by the organization of Rosas and Campuzano, the offensives continued one after another.
This gave the Leeds City players a very strange feeling, as if they were playing against themselves, because they were like this when they continued to attack... No, no, they were playing against an enhanced version of themselves.
“Rosas passed Vieira easily! He passed the ball to Campuzano on the sideline...Campusano was passing the ball to Salado!”
When Salado catches the ball, he passes the football directly forward!
At the same time, he jumped over from the side and dodged Leeds City right back Josh Lawler who came up to intercept him!
Subsequently, amid the cheers from the Holy Family Stadium, he accelerated away from Lawler, caught up with the football, and then took the football into the penalty area.
Although in the end when he tried to break into the penalty area, Jay Adams who rushed to help defend broke the bottom line.
But his sharp breakthrough still won him deafening cheers and applause from the stadium stands.
With Catalonia lagging behind, they really need such a boosting scene.
The scene when Salado didn't stop the ball and directly passed the ball past Leeds City's wing defense was very exciting.
After the team won a corner kick, Salado also made an action that ignited the atmosphere of the audience. He kept raising his arms, encouraging the Catalan United fans in the stands to cheer the team even louder and cheer for the team.
!
Valero in the stands and the Catalan United fans around him stood up from their seats, waved their arms and roared in the direction of Leeds City's goal.
At the same time, he shouted in his heart: Well done, Mario! Just like this! Just kick like this!
※※※
The atmosphere at the scene was further inflamed.
Amidst deafening shouts, Rosas took a corner kick.
After Jimenez and Fortune attracted the attention of the Leeds City defenders in front of the goal, Swedish striker Edmund Pettersson suddenly came out from the outside, jumped into the air, and made a powerful top shot!
Leeds City goalkeeper Van de Ven made a save for this powerful header that was close at hand, but this subconscious save had no effect!
Before he could wave his hand, the football flew into the goal!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Pettersson!! Pettersson!! GOOOOOOOOOOOL!! Catalonia equalized the score! Equalized the score seven minutes after conceding the goal!! Beautiful!! They told Leeds City with this goal
,Whose home field is this?”
The continuous cheers at the Holy Family Stadium reached a climax at this moment.
After scoring the goal, Pettersson excitedly ran towards Rosas who passed the ball to him. Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, the two hugged each other.
Other Catalan United players followed, jumped on them, and celebrated with them.
Salado was among them. After he ran over, he did not rush to hug. Instead, he faced the stands and continued to raise his arms to inflame the atmosphere and make everyone cheer louder and louder.
The Catalan United fans in the stands collectively responded to his call and tried their best to raise the decibel level of their cheers again.
A storm of sound arose throughout the Holy Family Stadium.
Every Catalan United fan is hysterical in their seats. This is the performance we want to see!
At their home court, Catalonia United finally brought the game back to the same starting line!
