When Valentine expressed this emotion, it had been six or seven minutes since Kyrie came on the court. During this period, he had a total of four chances to get the ball, but failed once.
When the Madrid Pirates' attack advanced to him, it was basically interrupted...
The reason is very simple. Kyrie is not used to the defensive intensity of Saria's players, or he is a little afraid of confrontation.
So as long as Sarria's players are a little stronger in defense, Carey will give up possession of the ball in order to avoid injury.
This situation was indeed something that the Madrid Pirates coaching staff did not expect before the game.
What they saw from the physical examination report was that Kyrie's body had recovered, and what they saw in training was that Kyrie's feet felt good, and everything was in line with the requirements for playing the game.
That's why he was allowed to play in this game.
Who would have thought that Kaili's biggest problem is psychological...
He seems to have not gotten over the shadow of two serious injuries in two years, and now he is a little afraid of physical confrontation on the court.
In particular, the actions of Saria's players are very targeted. When they move their feet, they seem to be aimed at Kyrie's ankles and knees.
This forced Carey to hide.
He didn't dare to bet that the other party was just bluffing.
What if the other party is playing for real?
For the 33-year-old Kyrie, if he suffers another serious injury that requires him to miss more than six months, his career will really be over.
"Casas has studied Kaili thoroughly and knows what he is afraid of now..." Parotti said helplessly.
None of them expected Casas to achieve this level of work.
The reason why Kyrie was not played in this game is that he hoped that Kyrie would act as a surprise force at the critical moment and catch Saria off guard.
As a result, not only was this adjustment completely within the opponent's expectations, the opponent also took Kaili's psychological problems into consideration.
Of course, players who have been injured continuously have some psychological shadow.
But during the training, neither Parotti nor Valentine, nor the members of the coaching staff noticed this.
Kyrie is very confident in training, he dares to make moves with the ball, and can even speed up breakthroughs.
Of course, no one will think in the direction of psychological shadow.
Then as soon as he came on stage, Kyrie's secret was revealed.
Facts have proven that no matter how close training is to actual combat, it cannot truly be compared with actual competition.

Hu Lai just ran into a gap and was waiting for Kyrie to pass the football. During this period of training, he ran into the gap and Kyrie passed the ball into the gap. They have practiced the simple offensive routine many times, and it can be said that they have mastered it quite well.
Become proficient.
As a result, after he ran into position, the football did not come, causing him to run directly to the offside position.
He quickly braked and drove back.
Looking up, Kyrie lost the ball again.
He was speechless.
Brother, aren't you performing very well in training?
Why did you stumble on the field?
He knew what Brother Huan meant yesterday.
It turns out that this is Saria's "trick".
They really got it right!
"Kyrie has never gotten into the rhythm of the game since he came on the field. His body is like a machine that has not moved for six months. Every joint is rusted to death. His movements are jerky, and he is also very afraid of confrontation... This is not good!"
He Feng was not very polite to Maxi Carey because he lost the ball just now, causing Hu Lai to miss the chance to score.
If the "Chinese Derby" in the Champions League last week made Chinese fans like He Feng have no special stance and can accept whoever wins or loses. Then in today's "Chinese Derby" in the league, everyone basically still hopes for Madrid Pirates.
Win.
Because only by winning can we continue to lead the standings.
If they lose this game, the Madrid Pirates will lose their top spot in the league. In another league game that ended before this game, the Kings of Madrid defeated Atletico Malaga 1:0 away from home, with Melli scoring the only goal.
Help the team score all three points.
Now the Madrid Kings have surpassed the Pirates in the standings and are temporarily ranked first. If the Pirates can win against Sarria, they can return to the first place. But if they cannot win, even if it is just a draw, they will have to
Dropped to second place.
There are two Chinese players in La Liga, but only Julay's Madrid Pirates are qualified and capable of competing for the league championship. Chinese fans certainly hope that Madrid Pirates can defeat Sarria and continue to lead the standings.
In this way, it is possible to win the league championship at the end of the league.
Hu Lai has already won the Chinese League Championship, the Chinese Super League Championship and the Premier League Championship. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could win the La Liga Championship again?
It may be unfair to Zhang Qinghuan to think this way, but this is indeed what the vast majority of Chinese fans really think at this moment.

In the VIP box, Sophia, who was watching the game with her son and daughter, frowned and looked at the stadium.
The two children were looking back at their mother with puzzled faces.
It seems that he wants to ask his mother why his father did not perform well after he came on the field?
Sofia knew the reason, but she didn't know how to explain it to the children.
Did they say that their father chose to escape because he was afraid of getting hurt?
How can that work?
In their minds, their father has always been an upright hero. How could something like this happen to him?
But her husband is indeed on the run.
Facing the close pressing of Sarria players, Carey quickly passed the ball back, without even daring to stop at his own feet.
In fact, the Sarria player's feet did not sweep over this time.
So Kyrie was so frightened that he took the initiative to pass the football back.
It makes him look like a clown.
If this were Saria's home stadium, there would be roars of laughter by now.

Carey's performance was not as good as expected, making the Madrid Pirates even more passive.
We were already one goal behind and needed to attack, but Carey, as the offensive coordinator, could not function properly.
銆愭帹 drill鄪笅锛屽挭鍜阒呰 faintclounder
Parotti had to continue making adjustments.
In the 72nd minute, he replaced another high center forward Ruiz who had just recovered from injury.
Then let Carey drop back into the midfield to replace the replaced midfielder Damien Daya.
This also allows Kyrie to avoid having to turn his back to the offensive direction like a forward, and then fight the opponent hand-to-hand where the defensive players are most concentrated.
The pressure on him could be reduced and his performance might improve.
But this positional adjustment seems to have little effect on helping Kyrie get rid of his psychological shadow.
In other words, Carey has fallen into a vicious cycle.
In short, Kyrie's performance was not very good even though he was playing in a deeper position.
In the last ten minutes of the game, the score was still 0:1, with Madrid Pirates playing at home falling behind.
The home team simply played the simplest long pass.
Find high center forward Ruiz directly from the backcourt, and then let Hulay roam around Ruiz to control the second goal.
At the same time, Saria has completely given up attacking, retreating to the goal and building a wall in the penalty area.
They only need to hold on for ten more minutes to take away three points from the away game.
This is an amazing victory!
In the last ten minutes of the game, the Madrid Pirates had no other tactics. They just kept passing high balls into the penalty area from the side and from behind, looking for Ruiz.
Using this style of play to deal with Saria, who is not very strong, is really embarrassing for a wealthy club.
But the pirate couldn't think about that now.
They don't even expect to win now, as long as they don't lose... that's fine!
Zhang Qinghuan was substituted in the 80th minute, and Casas replaced him with a central defender to strengthen the air defense in the penalty area.
Zhang Qinghuan is now wearing a coat and nervously watching the game on the bench.
He was really nervous, afraid that the cooked duck would fly away.
Hu Lai is still on the court!
In such chaotic battles, Hu Lai is often the trump card because he can find murderous intent in the chaos!
When Zhang Qinghuan was replaced, Parotti also used up his last substitution spot. He replaced Luka Cerovic with Tonini in this game.
Hulay remained on the court and was not replaced.
Hu Lai's condition in this game is indeed average, but a player like him, no matter how average his condition is, may be able to play a key role as long as he stays on the court.

Replacing Ion Martinez as the Pirates' left back in this game is Icelandic international Olaf Brynjolfsson.
Although he also participated in the national team game, as the Pirates' substitute left back, he was still arranged to play in this game by Parotti to allow Ion Martinez to fully rest and prepare for the Champions League quarter-finals next week.
Preparing for the second leg of the final.
Brynjolfsson failed to force a breakthrough from the wing, and the Sarria full-back was stuck next to him, giving him no space to cross.
So Brynjolfsson could only make a sudden stop near the baseline and pass the football to Toni who was supporting him from behind.
Tonini directly kicked the pass and he didn't dare to stop the ball. The Saria players pounced very fiercely. If he stopped the ball, he was afraid that the opponent would be in front of him and there would be no room for him to kick.
So he simply passed the ball directly.
As for the accuracy of such a direct cross...that's not what he should consider.
Anyway, now the Madrid Pirates are all playing bastard boxing. What they consider is not the success rate at all, but the plan to constantly use crosses to add weight to Saria. Who knows which cross will be the one that crushes Saria?
Where is the last straw?
Tonini's cross flew high into Saria's penalty area.
Not only was Ruiz in front of the goal, but in the last ten minutes, even center back Amantegui rushed to the goal, temporarily playing as a high center, competing for headers.
The football that flew into the penalty area was hit by Amantegui.
He pushed the football towards the goal!
Sarria goalkeeper Frederic Bahon jumped into the air and struggled to block the ball.
After holding up the football with his hand, the football flew towards the crossbar, hit the crossbar and bounced back!
It's like dropping a handful of feed into a calm pond...
There was a buzz in front of the door!
Everyone rushed towards the spot where the football landed.
But Hu Lai’s prediction of football’s placement is the most accurate!
In the chaos, he took the lead in blocking the position and stretched out his foot to stab the flying football.
Sarria defender Adrian Juanma was caught behind Jule and also stretched his foot to kick the football.
Doing so may cause him to foul Hu Lai and be awarded a penalty kick, or it may allow him to score an own goal... but he can no longer care about that much!
He kicked Hu Lai's foot, and Hu Lai's foot hit the football!
Juanma's kick did not disturb Hulay. Facing the football, Hulay's feet were surprisingly stable.
After eighty-seven mediocre minutes, Hulay's right foot put the football into Saria's goal!
