"Kyrie! Kyrie! Ooooh! Kyrie! He scored! This is his first goal in the Champions League this season... No! This is his first goal in the Champions League since he was injured before the World Cup.
The first goal! Wonderful assist from Hu! Hu! Wonderful! Beautiful! Unbelievable! Impressive performance!”
"Kyrie's goal... is there! Beautiful! Beautiful! Assist from Hu Lai! I remember that in the previous game between the Pirates and Cathorn, Kyrie used a very... very wonderful heel knock to assist Hu Lai's goal.
The ball. And now Hu Lai returns Kyrie with a beautiful back-heel assist! Who said the relationship between the two of them is not good? Hahahaha!"
Amidst the deafening cheers, the commentators, whether present or not, raised their voices and roared at the top of their lungs...
This is not because they are afraid that their voices will be drowned out by the volume of the scene. It is really difficult to control the volume of their voices and emotions after seeing such a goal. No one can remain indifferent in front of this goal.
Everyone who sees Hu Lai knocking the ball with his heels should put his head in his hands, widen his eyes, open his mouth and exclaim: "wtf!"
Seeing him being cornered by Peralta, why did things suddenly turn dark again?
Heel knocking the ball is not a technically difficult move for professional players, but choosing to heel knock the ball at this time does not test the technical level at all, but the player's imagination and creativity.
"... Hu's kick and Kerry's kick against Cathorn gave me the same feeling. That is... time and space seemed to be broken by their heels, and the two scenes overlapped in front of my eyes.
They overlapped so much that I couldn’t tell when it was right now..."
Sanchez's narrator is full of the flavor of some kind of magical literature.
In fact, these two back-heel passes were so close to each other that it was easy to associate them with each other.
In the TV broadcast, Kyrie's goal was replayed from different angles.
When Ramirez passed the ball into the penalty area, Carey was still outside the penalty area on the right side.
On the way Hu Lai rushed towards the football, he suddenly accelerated and cut inside and ran sideways towards the penalty area.
Next to him, the Madrid Kings left back Rafael Fonseca also ran back into the penalty area, but as a passive defender, his start was still slow, so he was half blocked by Carey.
The next step was Hu Lai's heel knocking the ball.
The timing of the pass was just right, although the accuracy of the pass was a bit poor and it almost passed behind Kyrie.
However, Kyrie easily passed the football and finished the shot with his left foot.
Judging from this replay from other angles, when Carey advanced to receive the ball from Hu Lai, he seemed to know that he would pass the football back, so he cut inside in time to follow up.
After all, apart from him, there were no other Madrid Pirates players in the penalty area.
If he didn't pick it up, then Hu Lai would really have hit a dead end.

After scoring the goal, Carey ran to the corner flag area and did not make any too excited celebrations. Instead, he gradually slowed down and finally walked to the corner flag area with a "pacing" pace.
At the same time, he held his head high and his chest high, with an arrogant expression, like a lion king patrolling his territory.
It wasn't until his teammates pounced on him that a smile broke out on his face and he hugged everyone.
"In the past two years, we have rarely seen Kaili smiling like this..."
Sanchez sighed after seeing this scene.
"For him, most of these two seasons have been difficult. But anyway, he seems to have finally come out of the quagmire... Although he is not at his strongest yet, we can see that he is very good now.
Shaohui used his explosive power to run with the ball on the court, and his physical fitness was not as good as before. But the darkness has finally passed, and the dawn is already visible to the naked eye on the distant horizon...
"Although because of Hu's outstanding performance this season, many people are questioning whether the team still needs Maxi Carey. But judging from the performance of this game, if we can have a healthy Carey, it will be better for the Pirates.
For me, it is definitely a very beneficial thing..."
Madrid Kings head coach Royvi stood silent on the sidelines, in sharp contrast to the lively atmosphere.
He does hope that the "powder keg" of Kaili will explode, but he does not want this powder keg to explode in his own restricted area!
Next door to him, in front of the coach of the home team, Parotti and his colleagues on the coaching staff huddled together and cheered in celebration, which was in sharp contrast to the lifeless Madrid Kings coaching bench.
"Fortunately, I hesitated, haha!"
Parotti laughed excitedly.
"If we had replaced him immediately, how could we have scored this goal?! This is the role of super geniuses! When tactics cannot cover it, we can only rely on the personal talents of the players. Super geniuses can always outperform the average
Players play a bigger and more critical role!"
Was this goal a tactic from their coaching staff?
Obviously not, this is the players' active decision on the court.
In a game, it is often the improvisation of these players on the field that can bring about breakthrough changes.
Genius players are better at improvising, and can naturally deliver decisive performances at critical moments.
This ball is the best proof.
Whether it was Hu Lai's heel knock or Kyrie's sudden inward cut, they had never been practiced in previous trainings.
This is not the team's established offensive routine at all, it is an improvisation performed by two people.
While Valentin was celebrating with his colleagues in front of the coaching bench, a thought suddenly came to his mind:
If Kyrie can still perform like this next season, will the club be willing to introduce another organizational midfielder?
Maybe... they will be more willing to give the club legend a new contract?
But Valentine insisted that the club should take advantage of the opportunity before Kyrie has fully recovered to complete the replacement.
After all, no matter how good Kyrie performs, he will be 35 years old next season.
How long can he remain at his peak?
Instead of renewing the contract with such a veteran who has suffered two serious injuries, it is better to introduce fresh blood and prepare for a rainy day...
Of course, such an idea only flashed through Valentine's mind.
He didn't speak out and tell anyone, especially at this time.
He just cheered and celebrated with everyone.
No matter what happens in the future, at least Maxi Carey's goal now helps them regain the lead...
At this time, it would be too cruel to think about how to cleanse the goal scorers.
Valentin shook his head, and then Parotti grabbed his shoulder: "Jesus!"
"Ah?" Valentin was startled. He almost thought that Parotti noticed his slight change in expression...
But Parotti just told him: "Get Ruiz over here! It's his turn!"
"Are you going to replace Kyrie?"
"Of course, who else can I replace?" Parotti felt that Valentin's question was nonsense.
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away!" Valentin also realized that he was a little out of control, so he quickly excused himself, turned around and ran to the bench.
Fortunately, during the halftime break, Ruiz, as a substitute player, warmed up under the leadership of second assistant coach Enzo Naher, so there is no need to warm up now, just simple stretching is enough.

Kyrie ended his celebration, turned around and walked back with his teammates.
He saw Hu Lai standing in front of him, raising his arms.
"What?" he asked strangely.
"High five, high five. I assisted you with this goal." Hu Lai said with a smile.
Although Kaili thought it was strange that Hu Lai smiled so attentively, he also admitted that what Hu Lai said made sense. Since he assisted me, it is normal to give a high five to celebrate...
So he also raised his palm.
Then before he could react, Hu Lai slapped him hard!
How hard?
He even jumped when he gave high fives...
Snapped!
Kaili bared his teeth and frowned, it hurt...it hurt so much!
Then he felt that the palm that Hu Lai had photographed was almost numb...
Then it turns red visibly.
Oh shit……
Kaili, who seemed to be wearing a "mask of pain", looked at Hu Lai, who had turned and left. The latter waved his hands, obviously also in pain.
This petty bastard who harms others without benefiting himself!

After Carey scored, Parotti replaced Ruiz.
When he walked off the field, Pirates Park erupted into thunderous applause.
Pirates fans expressed their love and support for Kyrie in this way and welcomed his return in the Champions League.
Kyrie didn't have any dissatisfaction because he was replaced early. He walked to the sidelines, raised his hands, and waved to the fans in the stands. He wanted to return the applause, but his palms still hurt a little.
It’s really hard to applaud...
Ruiz, who was waiting outside the court, raised his hands and wanted to high-five Kyrie to complete the handover procedure, but Kyrie hugged him directly.
This surprised Ruiz and made the Dutch a little excited?
But he soon figured it out again.
After all, this is his first goal in the Champions League in two seasons!
Thinking of this, Ruiz hugged Kyrie and patted Kyrie's back hard before running onto the court.
After Kyrie came off the field, he continued to wave to the fans cheering for him in the stands.
After doing this, he walked towards the head coach Parotti who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Perfect performance." Parotti smiled and extended his hand to him, "I don't know how to praise you anymore, 'max'."
Hearing the head coach's praise, Carey smiled slightly: "It's easy, sir. I just did what I should do."
"That's right, you just do what you should do, and that's enough for 80,000 people to cheer for you." Parotti raised his hand and pointed to the stands behind him.
There were many Pirates fans who rushed to the front row, waving their fists and shouting to Kyrie in front of the coach's bench:
"Well done, Max!"
"You're the best, max!"
"Congratulations, Max, you are back!"
…
Seeing these fans who were shouting hoarsely and even with tears in their eyes, "Max" Kyrie moved slightly, and then tightly pressed his trembling lips.
