When Jay Adams took a shot, Mauro Albertazzi indeed deflected his center of gravity in the direction of the flight of the football and made a move to save it.
Under such circumstances, the football hit Ferenc defender Nicolo Serafini midway and then deflected, which was simply fatal.
Not to mention that there is still a Hu Lai guarding in the direction of this deflection!
This is doubly deadly!
At this moment, in the camera lens behind the goal, Albertazzi and the football changed direction at the same time!
He turned around very simply and kicked the ground, rushing back without hesitation!
It was precisely because he was so decisive that he rushed back when Hu Lai shot...
Then he saved Hu Lai's football from the bottom line with great danger!
The camera's close-up shot keenly captured Hulay's facial expression. He first looked at the goal with wide eyes, then turned his head following the football, and finally turned back, still looking at Albertazzi with wide eyes.
Although he didn't say a word, his expression betrayed all his inner thoughts.
The scene was frozen on Hulay's shocked face. The host and guests in the Italian Channel 5 studio laughed happily, and some even banged the table.
"Hahaha! Hu's expression seemed to say: 'No, buddy? You can save this ball?!'"
"Viewers, what you see now is that the concentrated essence of this game is all in Hu's big eyes!"
"Seeing Hu's expression reminded me of Eldrea's away game against Ferenc in the last round of the league. I remember Eldrea's Wang's header at the last moment of the game was missed by Al
After Betaqi pounced, he had the same expression..." a guest said.
The host immediately excitedly operated on the computer, brought up a photo, and displayed it on the big screen for everyone to see: "Is this the one you are talking about?"
Wang Guangwei in the picture also had his eyes widened, with "shock" written all over his face.
The host placed these two photos together, and the two stunned faces were particularly happy.
Everyone in the studio burst into laughter.
After the laughter, the host coughed, straightened his face and said in a serious tone: "Okay, no kidding. In fact, Ferenc was able to draw 0:0 away from home in this game, except for Albertazzi's heroic performance.
In addition, the outstanding performance of Ferenc's team is also one of the main reasons... In front of the united Ferenc, Leeds City's offensive methods, which are good at attacking, seem simple and crude, with no technical content... Hu was in this game.
Zhong also didn’t get too many opportunities. So the victory of the game cannot be attributed solely to Albertazzi’s personal heroism..."
The guest next to him still smiled and said: "But no matter what, the whole of Europe is now discussing Albertazzi's amazing record. Eighteen successful saves in a single game! It's incredible! I saw Agbo
En talked about Albertazzi in an interview yesterday, and he congratulated Albertazzi on his achievements..."
The Agborn mentioned by this guest is the former Swedish national goalkeeper Merkin Agborn. He represented the Danish giant Haken in the Europa League in the 2017-2018 season ten years ago and played against the Premier League Tramed.
In the quarter-finals, he set a Europa League record of thirteen saves in a single game.
Tramed shot a total of forty times in that game, fourteen of which hit the goal frame. Agboun saved thirteen of them. The only one he missed was Tramed's penalty kick...
…
In the end, Tramed also eliminated Haken with this overtime penalty kick.
Although he lost the game, Agborn was named the best of the match after the game.
However, Argenborn's thirteen saves in that game were based on 120 minutes of playing. In the 90 minutes, Tramed and Haken tied 0:0, because the first round was also 0:0.
0, so the game finally entered overtime.
Now, Albertazzi's eighteen saves are not only more than Agborn, but they also take less time. Counting the injury time in the first and second half, the total time is 96 minutes. This means that Albertazzi averages five saves.
It takes just over a minute to make an effective save.
It's no wonder that the whole of Europe was in shock after this game.
In a normal ninety-minute game, if a goalkeeper can make ten saves, it is already a top-notch and rare performance.
Albertazzi suddenly raised this ceiling to 18 times in a single game, almost doubling it!
As a person whose record was broken by Albertazzi, Agborn certainly had to express his gratitude at this time. He was full of praise for Albertazzi's performance:
"The English media always like to exaggerate. Under their boast, Leeds City's offense seemed to be unstoppable... But obviously, Mauro (Albertazzi) allowed them to see the ability of a top goalkeeper. I am proud of it.
He feels proud and proud. I think Mauro will definitely grow into a great goalkeeper. As for my record... it would be great if it could be broken by Mauro. Eighteen saves in a single game... My God
, I don’t even know how to use words to describe his performance... My record has been maintained for ten years, and in my opinion, Mauro’s record may be maintained for twenty years or more!"
Agborn's words were very helpful to the Italian fans and media, and they were very happy.
In turn, Leeds City became the object of their ridicule.
As Agborn said, the English media had often boasted about Leeds City's offensive firepower before this.
Before the first round, the English media believed that this game was a showdown between the strongest shield and the strongest spear. Of course, they were all optimistic that the "spear" Leeds City would win.
This naturally made the Italian media and fans unhappy.
As a result, Leeds City was tied by Ferenc at home, and achieved Albertazzi's unprecedented record. Although they did not lose, they actually lost...
The Italian media and fans have been celebrating the Chinese New Year these days.
In addition to media such as TV 5, fans have also used their talents to create various memes and videos online.
For example, a video was specially produced of the duel between Hulay and Albertazzi in the game. Hulay shot again and again, and Albertazzi saved again and again. The last kick was followed by Hulay's stunned expression, and Albertazzi's response.
Get up from the ground and glance at his close-up lightly. Then add a red light to Albertazzi's eyes...
What this means is self-evident.
The Italian media also congratulated Leeds City for also setting a record:
“With forty-four shots in a single game, Leeds City also set a record for the most shots in a single game in the history of the Europa League since statistics are available. And what they broke was Tramed’s forty shots.
Record number of times. It seems that shooting forty shots in one game is really a 'tradition' of the English team... It's really gratifying. Like Albertazzi's record, this record of Leeds City will probably not be easily forgotten for many years.
Broken! This is the glorious record of an English team in the Europa League! The team with the strongest offensive firepower deserves such a record. Only forty-four shots in a single game can demonstrate the offensive firepower of Leeds City!"

"Those Italian bastards! I really want to chop them up!"
In the north stand of the Flanders Stadium, Levin angrily cursed.
His companion and enemy John Falkingham sarcastically said: "Forget it, Levin. You asked for it, you shouldn't have read those messages online after the game... Look at me, I even
No one is online!”
"What's the difference between you and an ostrich? You can't solve the problem if you don't look at it," Levin snorted.
"Then if you look at it, can you solve the problem?" John retorted.
"Okay, okay, let's focus on this game!" Matthew Miller advised his two companions.
John shrugged: "What's the point in this? We're going to lose."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
John is right.
Leeds City is definitely losing this game. Although the game is not over yet, Leeds City is now trailing Stan Park Rangers with a score of 0:3.
There are still thirteen minutes left in the game. No matter what, it is impossible for Leeds City to complete such a reversal at their home court.
Morale aside, this Leeds team is not the main force.
That's right, Clark gave up on the league again.
Even though he was tied by Ferenc in the last Europa League game, Clark still chose to fight for the Europa League.
In order to conserve energy and recharge for the Europa League second-leg match on Thursday, April 15, Clark used all his substitutes in the match against Stan Park Rangers...
Leeds City's schedule during this period is not very good either.
Before and after these two Europa League games, Leeds City will have to play against three strong teams: Manchester Athletic, Stan Park Rangers, and Tramed.
If they do not give up the league, Leeds City will inevitably be involved in a lot of energy in the matches with these three teams, and there is also the risk of injuries to the main players.
In Clark's view, this is a normal choice.
But in the eyes of some people, Clark seems to be mentally unstable.
Before this round of the league, Leeds City ranked ninth with 46 points, and Stan Park Rangers ranked sixth with 54 points. The eight-point difference was not as big as imagined.
In fact, if Leeds City had devoted all their energy to the league after being eliminated from the Champions League, their current ranking would not be so low.
Even if there is the impact of Hu Lai's participation in the Asian Cup, counting from the time he returns to the club after participating in the Asian Cup, if it were not for the Europa League, Leeds City would have been able to get at least four more points, and these four points are in the current ranking.
What they got from their opponents who were further ahead was one and the other, and this was not just four points.
If we sprint all out in the second half of the league, with Leeds City's strength, and achieve the top six rankings in the league, it may be a big deal to qualify for the Europa League next season.
As a result, Clark made the mistake of betting all his money on the Europa League.
This kind of persistence is simply incomprehensible. Does he think that Leeds City, which is participating in the Europa League for the first time, can win this competition?
After all, only if you win the Europa League, all the efforts you put in will be meaningful. Otherwise, being the runner-up in the Europa League means nothing.
There are neither honors nor trophies, nor qualifications to participate in next season's Champions League.
The question is, is it more difficult to win the Europa League? Or is it more difficult to win the top six in the Premier League?
However, Leeds City fans will not settle this debt now. They are united with Clark and 100% support giving up the league and fighting for the Europa League.
It's not because I want to compete for the championship, but because I can't swallow that breath.
No matter what, the Italians must be killed!
Leeds City can advance to the semi-finals and then be eliminated, or they can win nothing in the league this season.
But we just can’t be kicked out of the Europa League by Ferenc!
Otherwise, those Italian fans and media wouldn’t be able to go to heaven?!
"The game is over! Leeds City lost 0:3 to Stan Park Rangers at home... Clark quickly left the field after shaking hands with Brooks briefly... I believe that at this moment his mind is no longer on the league.
, but flew to the distant Florence, Italy!”

PS, two updates will be resumed tomorrow...
Speaking of single orders, the order volume grows very fast, I really can’t bear to part with it...[face covering]
