"Actually, Hu Lai, your left foot can already be used."
After seeing Hu Lai use his left foot to stop the ball passed by him, Li Qingqing said to the opposite side.
"Didn't you try to shoot with your left foot in training?"
Hu Lai nodded: "I tried it."
"How about it?"
"I scored some goals." Hu Lai said and passed the football back to Li Qingqing with his left foot.
He did score goals with his left foot in training, and it was not a matter of luck. Even the coach and teammates were surprised and praised the speed of his left foot's progress.
"Then why don't you try a left-footed shot in the game?" Li Qingqing asked strangely.
She has watched Hu Lai's games and made careful statistics.
Unlike when he forced himself to use his left foot to control the ball and shoot in training, he seemed to force himself not to use his left foot to shoot in games.
So so far, Hu Lai has never had a left-footed shot in the game...
"Uh, this..." Hu Lai hesitated, "Good steel should be used on the blade..."
"Blade?" Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then slapped him: "Okay, do you want King Yin?"
"Tsk! Those words are so ugly! What is 'yin'?" Hu Lai said dissatisfiedly after his thoughts were revealed.
"Is not it?"
"Of course not! This is called 'tactics'! Then the king will be caught off guard!"
"Understood, everyone who plays tactics has a heart." Li Qingqing nodded and passed the ball at the same time.
Hu Lai caught the ball and let out a laugh, but did not make any further excuses.
Li Qingqing suddenly asked: "Now that you've told me your 'tactics', aren't you afraid that I'll leak the secret?"
Hu Lai pouted: "Will you leak secrets?"
Li Qingqing shook his head: "No."
"Then it's over?" Hu Lai spread his hands, "If I can't trust you, who else can I trust?"
When Li Qingqing heard Hu Lai's words, he put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "You are right, Hu Lai! You can always trust Li Qingqing!"
"Wang Po..." Hu Lai muttered.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing, I said continue!"
Hu Lai signaled Li Qingqing to pass the ball quickly.
"Go on!" Li Qingqing volleyed vigorously.
"Wow, you shot!" Although he exclaimed, Hu Lai stopped the football this time.
Although he is not as skilled as his right foot, considering that he only started practicing his left foot with him when he came to Madrid Pirates at the end of July, he can achieve such results, which is a rapid improvement and is very remarkable.
"Not bad, Hu Lai."
"Well, you don't even know who I am? A genius among geniuses!" Hu Laitian was shameless.
Li Qingqing gave a thumbs up: "Give me a thumbs up, a great teacher makes a great disciple!"

"Series of tasks: Try to use your left foot to score a goal in the game. Task reward: [Stamina Potion] × 5, points × 10,000, and the next stage of the task will be started at the same time."
Hu Lai looked at the task in his task log.
This is not a new task. In fact, this task has appeared in his system task log for some time.
It suddenly appeared about half a month ago.
The task is very simple. In fact, it is to let him score a goal with his left foot.
Considering that Hu Lai has already scored goals with his left foot in training matches, this requirement is not difficult.
Perhaps because of this, the rewards for missions are very average.
Ten thousand points and five bottles of [Stamina Potion].
If it were just for these two mission rewards, Hu Lai probably wouldn't bother to take a look at them.
But the description of "starting the next phase of the mission" made Hu Lai's imagination wander.
This is a series of tasks. It is normal that the reward for the first step of the task is low, but as long as you reach the last step of the task, I believe the reward will not be bad.
It's just that... even though this task has been in the diary for half a month, Hu Lai still has no intention of completing it.
Just like he explained to Li Qingqing, good steel should be used on the blade.
Since you must score a goal with your left foot, of course you cannot complete the task casually.
The best choice is to combine the completion of tasks with actual needs.
So Hu Lai never completed this task, because he planned to do it again at the most critical moment.
His left foot is his secret weapon and he will never use it until critical moments.
So what is the critical moment?
The next round of the game against Madrid Kings is a critical moment.
But is the current game against Pamplona, which is ranked 18th in the league, considered a critical moment?
Originally it didn't count, but now it's hard to tell.
Because there is not much time left for Hu Lai.
Although he was put on the roster, before the game started, head coach Parotti specifically told him that he would be replaced early during the game. The specific time of substitution is not yet certain, it may be sixty minutes, but
Maybe during halftime.
And now the first half has been played for thirty minutes, and Hu Lai has not scored a goal yet.
In other words, he still has at least fifteen minutes before he scores consecutive goals.
Just now, two minutes ago, he had a good chance in the penalty area.
At that time, the football came from the right, and Hu Lai only needed to use his left foot to push and score.
But he stopped the ball with his left foot and then adjusted to his right foot to shoot.
The Pamplona center back blocked the baseline with his legs as the football was driven towards him.
So... should I use my left foot to score goals?
Hu Lai finally shook his head.
It’s not to the point where I can’t score a goal without using my left foot.
※※※
In the 38th minute, Madrid Pirates launched an attack from the left side of the frontcourt.
Ion Martinez got the ball from the wing and dribbled laterally. After attracting the opponent's defensive attention, he sent a through ball and passed it behind Pamplona's defense.
Luka Cerovic, who replaced Tonini in this game, received the ball right there and then broke into the penalty area!
When he entered the penalty area, he was tripped to the ground by the Pamplona defender who rushed over.
The referee decisively blew the whistle for a foul on the Pamplona player and gave the Madrid Pirates a penalty kick!
"Penalty kick! Hu Lai's chance!"
He Feng cheered happily when he saw this.
Sure enough, I saw Hu Lai running over and picking up the football with his feet, and then carrying it to the penalty spot.
He was not polite to anyone, and no one came up to compete with him for the right to take the penalty kick.
This is not because everyone knows that Hulay needs this goal, but because during the team's penalty kick training, everyone knows that Hulay's penalty kicks are very stable, so Parotti has given the power to take penalty kicks.
Hu Lai.
In other words, Julet is now the number one penalty kicker for Madrid Pirates.
As long as there is a penalty kick during the game, if he does not come off the field, the penalty kick will definitely be taken by him.
Seeing Hu Lai put the football on the penalty spot, many people became nervous.
Although penalty kicks are a scoring method with a high goal rate, it does not mean that penalty kicks are 100% sure to be scored.
Precisely because everyone thinks that penalty kicks are easy to score, they place high demands on penalty kick players. It is normal to score goals. If you cannot score, there is something wrong with you.
When a thing is only allowed to succeed and not fail, failure is actually not far away.
In the face of huge pressure, it is not uncommon for players to lose their movements and miss penalty kicks.
Now everyone knows how much Hulay needs this goal, so can he withstand the pressure and kick the ball in?
Pamplona's goalkeeper jumped up and down on the goal line, looking very relaxed.
At the same time, he was also taking this opportunity to put pressure on Hu Lai and interfere with him.
The TV broadcast gave a close-up shot of Hulay preparing to take the penalty kick.
He looked calm in the camera.
The camera zooms out, the whistle sounds, Hu Lai takes a run, kicks off, and shoots!
The goalkeeper pounces decisively to his left. A player on Hu Lai's right who is good at his right foot will be more inclined to kick the football to the side of his advantageous foot.
But when he pounced, he discovered that Hu Lai had pushed him in the middle!
The football rolled against the turf and into the goal!
"Beautiful! Hu Lai! Scored goals in six consecutive league rounds! He is making steady progress towards Rivero's record!"
After scoring the goal, Hulay ran to the corner flag area and made his signature celebration.
This time, in the stands of Pirates Park, a roar of "HUUUUU!" echoed in response to his actions.
But it's still sporadic, not neat enough, and not impressive enough.
It's a bit of a pity. If 80,000 people can be unified, then the roar of the crowd will definitely be more shocking than the 30,000 people at the Flanders Stadium...
The Madrid Pirates players rushed up to hug Hulay after he finished his celebration. They all slapped his body and shouted excitedly.
Parotti and Valentin on the sidelines looked at each other and smiled, and they could tell that each other was relieved.
The team broke the deadlock at home, and they could replace Hu Lai to rest without any burden...
