Twenty minutes into the game, he observed that Atlético Amsterdam was indeed attacking Pirates of Madrid.
This is the same as what Little Star said to him yesterday.
No, I can’t say I didn’t lie to myself...
Because the players of Atlético Amsterdam did not defend themselves!
That Danny Drew is following closely!
Hulay glanced at the Amsterdam Athletic center defender next to him.
He is tall and has slightly dark skin, obviously not tanned, and looks like a mixed race.
This is the number one football talent of Sporting Amsterdam and even Dutch football.
In a country rich in all kinds of offensive talents, calling a center back the "number one genius" is enough to illustrate the level of Danny Drew.
He is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 89 kilograms. He can be said to be very strong.
What's even more commendable is that for such a strong and tall player, his foot speed is not slow at all - both running speed and kicking speed are very fast.
With such excellent physical fitness and excellent prediction ability, Drew has become a super talented central defender that is being watched closely all over Europe.
Even Athletic Amsterdam knows that they cannot keep Drew. It is said that Drew will leave the team after the end of this season.
Because his contract with the club will expire on June 30 next year, if Drew is not sold this summer, he will leave the team for free next year. Drew's agent has also publicly stated that his players will not
He renewed his contract with Amsterdam Athletic Club and it is already known to everyone that he wants to leave.
If Drew does leave the team as a free agent, it will be a huge loss for Sporting Amsterdam.
As an Eredivisie giant, Sporting Amsterdam relies heavily on the business method of cultivating talented players and then selling them at high prices. Therefore, they are not resistant to selling their top talents.
As long as enough money is given, no one is "not for sale".
Hulay once heard Pete Williams say that Danny Drew was very good because he defended Mellie in the World Cup and kept Mellie from scoring a goal.
When he said this, Hu Lai immediately understood how powerful Drew really was.
After fighting against Meili, Hu Lai knew how difficult it was to freeze Meili.
In today's game, Hu Lai also received special care from Drew.
Twenty minutes into the game, Hu Lai had a shot, but it missed due to Drew's interference.
Other times, he was guarded by Drew and found it difficult to get a shot.
The promised defense is useless, so why not stop it at all?
Do what you say!

Joaquin Vela sent the football into the penalty area, and Hulay rushed to the spot, preparing to grab the shot.
But when he landed, he was squeezed away by Drew, and he could only watch helplessly as Drew cleared the football.
"Drew made another key defense! Drew was in good shape in this game. Under his defense, Hu hasn't gotten any decent opportunities yet!"
The commentator on Dutch TV said excitedly.
In his opinion, the key to Atlético Amsterdam's victory over Madrid Pirates at home lies in two people.
On offense, look at Chen Xingyi’s performance, and on defense, look at Drew.
If Drew can freeze Hulay and prevent the Pirates from scoring easily, Atletico Amsterdam will at least win half the game.
Let’s look at Chen Xingyi’s performance next.
However, Chen Xingyi's condition in this game seems not to be very good...
※※※
Although he successfully defended Hu Lai, Danny Drew was not happy. He still had a tense face and did not show any relaxation.
Seeing this, Hu Lai couldn't help but said: "Hey, Drew, don't put on such an expression. You won just now, you really won."
Hearing what Hu Lai said, Drew almost replied to him: "beating you once in the game is not a win."
Fortunately, he remembered the coach's instructions to him, held back his words, pretended not to hear, and had no reaction to what Hu Lai said.
Hu Lai watched carefully from the side. After hearing what he said, the boy clearly reacted, and his preparatory movements for speaking were obvious.
So he heard what he said, not that he didn't hear it.
Since you heard it, why didn't you talk to me?
It's not that he didn't talk to me, but he suddenly held back when he was about to talk.
This is very... strange.
Why hold it back?
Is there anything you can’t say?
So Hu Lai asked his doubts directly:
"Weird, Drew. Are you holding back? Is there something you can't say directly? Are you afraid of hurting me? Oh no, don't worry about that. Let's be honest. If you have any problem with me, just tell me.
If I have offended you, I am willing to apologize to you. Really, there is no problem between us. Do you remember? We met for the first time at the European Best Young Player Award ceremony that year, and you took the initiative to talk to me.
I said hello. I thought we were already friends...Okay, maybe my definition of friends is broader, but at least we are not enemies, right? So why are you hesitant to say anything now? "
Danny Drew suddenly thought of what Chen Xingyi once said to him:
If one day you meet Hu in a game, remember to wear soundproof earplugs to play.
He thought it was funny, why should I wear soundproof earplugs?
Later I found out that this was because Hu Lai was very good at talking.
But so what?
Aren't you just using chatting to distract me?
I ignored him and let him speak for himself. Could he keep talking?
Hell, it turns out he can really go on and on!
So Drew now understands why Star had to make him wear earplugs.
Of course, in a real game, it is impossible to wear earplugs.
But precisely because he couldn't wear it, Drew felt like his head was going to explode when faced with Hu Lai's noise.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his boiling brain a little.
Hu Lai noticed Drew's action of taking a deep breath, and he quickly asked: "Did you take a deep breath? It means you heard what I just said, right? Since you heard it, why didn't you speak? It's not convenient to speak? Your throat is uncomfortable.
? Hoarse throat? It's okay, I understand. You always have to yell during football matches. After all, the venue is so noisy... If you don't want to speak, or say you can't speak, then you can respond to me with body language, such as nodding.
Or shake your head. Is that okay?"
Inside Drew's pursed lips were clenched teeth.
He never thought that "not being allowed to speak" would be such a difficult test.
Drew turned and ran away.
Hu Lai saw this scene behind him and was still puzzled - I'm not so annoying, am I?
Little Star said something bad about me in front of Drew?
That bastard!
※※※
Hu Lai didn't understand why Drew didn't want to talk to him.
But he won't dwell on it either.
After all, he is here to compete, not to compete with Drew.
He soon continued to devote all his energy to the game.
Although Drew defended him very tightly, Hulay's strength was that he could always find an opening.
Soon, the Madrid Pirates' attack reached the 30-meter area. Hulay ran diagonally in the penalty area, raised his right leg in the direction of the football, and seemed to want to shoot directly.
But when his right leg came down, he suddenly dunked the football to the left.
At the same time, he turned sideways and quickly raised his left leg to shoot!
The football he shot did not fly towards the goal. It could be said that it had just risen into the air and was blocked by a leg from the bottom line!
"Danny Drew!! Oh--! Nice defense!"
As the Dutch commentator shouted, the Amsterdam Athletic fans in the stands exclaimed and then gave Drew a thunderous applause.
"Hold!"
Hu Lai, whose shot was blocked, put his head in his hands and cursed.
Before spiking the ball, he used the corner of his eye to confirm Drew's position. He thought that his fake move should deceive Drew...
Drew heard a familiar pronunciation from behind. He had also heard this sound from Chen Xingyi's mouth.
Have a rough idea of what that means.
Hu Lai was annoyed and angry that his shot was blocked by himself.
However, Drew was not happy because he successfully defended Hu Lai again.
On the contrary, hidden beneath his calm expression was a violently beating heart.
He felt scared - if he hadn't rushed back in time just now, this ball might really threaten the goal guarded by the captain!
But he almost failed to catch up.
In order to block the shot, he stretched out his long legs.
For a moment, he even thought his thigh muscles were going to be strained...
If the football deflects a little further, he may not be able to block it even if he strains a muscle.
So Drew doesn't think this defensive success is his fault, he thinks it's his good luck.
He was really deceived by Hu Lai's first shot fake just now. Fortunately, he has excellent physical fitness and stopped his force midway and turned back.
Now the knee supporting his foot made him a little concerned - when he turned around and twisted back, the knee of his right leg bore all the kinetic energy.
Although everything seems to be normal now, if it happens a few more times, maybe... my knee will be injured.
He had carefully studied the game between Julay and the Madrid Kings. When he saw Julay using a very difficult turn to get rid of Peralta and score a goal, he was still wondering if it was a time.
Accident.
After all, Hu Lai had seldom, if ever, done this before.
Now it seems that that may not be an accident.
※※※
After spitting out the fragrance, Hu Lai waved his arms vigorously to vent his regret just now.
Then he turned to look at the serious-looking No. 4 centre-back of Atlético Amsterdam.
Danny Drew, right?
You can't score a goal against Demelli in the World Cup, right?
Just right.
I also see Merry as my rival.
Let me test my quality with you!
Hulay, who missed the chance to score, stared at Drew and grinned, like a "clown" trying to attract the opponent's attention.
