The facilities in the visiting team's dressing room at the Crown Stadium are simple and basic. Although they have everything they need, they are just adequate. It is completely different from the "luxury" style in the home team's dressing room.
Both the decoration and the furnishings give people a cold feeling.
This may be the effect that the owner of this stadium hopes to achieve, to pour a bucket of cold water on every visiting team that comes to the Crown Stadium to cool down physically and mentally.
In addition, the sound insulation effect of this locker room is also quite average, especially the door. Even if the door is closed, the noise coming from the stadium stands can be clearly heard.
One can't help but wonder if the stadium designer has specially designed a system to help the visiting team players better immerse themselves in the away atmosphere, so that even if they are sitting in the locker room, they can experience it as if they are on the stadium.
The feeling of being booed and yelled at by the home team fans.
This is of course a little thought that any home stadium would have.
If it were another team, it might really be affected.
But for the Madrid Pirates players, they have become accustomed to it.
It's not their first time playing in this stadium, and they know very well the attitude of the home team's fans towards them.
It is actually normal for the King of Madrid to treat them this way, and it does not deserve their too much attention.
If one day they come to this stadium to play a game and find that the stadium staff are greeting them and the visiting team's locker room is updated and upgraded, then they may be surprised, or even... horrified - there must be something evil if something goes wrong.
Parotti stood in the locker room, turning a deaf ear to the noise, but focused on speaking to his teammates:
"...It can be foreseen that when the game starts, they will attack with all their strength and try to equalize the total score first. Therefore, we will be under great pressure during this period, and everyone must grit their teeth and withstand it. In addition, everyone must do a good job
Be prepared to lose the ball first. If you lose the ball, you must not panic or be anxious. Stay steady first, and then slowly deal with them..."
Also in the locker room, the head coach of the Madrid Kings, Royvi, was loudly encouraging his players:
"From the first minute of the game, we must attack with all our strength! At this time, don't think about what if we attack and they sneak up on us... Don't think about these problems, just attack!"
This game is actually very simple for the Madrid Kings, as head coach Royvi said:
Just attack.
Being behind in the total score, they have nothing to worry about.
On the other hand, the situation of Madrid Pirates is more complicated - of course they cannot defend from the beginning to the end of the game. Because it is difficult to defend, and Madrid Pirates itself is not the kind of team that is good at setting up a bus.
So in addition to defense, Madrid Pirates also need to attack.
But when to attack and when to attack with all your strength, you have to look at the progress of the game, rather than thinking clearly before the game.
※※※
As expected, the King of Madrid attacked the Madrid Pirates from the beginning of the game and went all out to attack.
Coupled with the heart-stopping sound storm at the scene, it is indeed enough to make many players with poor psychological quality weak here.
[To be honest, I’ve been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it’s available on both Android and Apple.]
Hu Lai is not the kind of player with a glass heart. Not only did he not find these sounds disturbing him, but he also enjoyed them.
In fact, before the game started, when he followed his teammates onto the court, he took a deep breath. He fully felt the atmosphere of the "city derby", as if there was the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
He estimated that his move should have been caught on television. I wonder how the commentators would interpret his move?
It’s really interesting to think about it…
Such thoughts flashed through Hu Lai's mind, and he was not distracted by thinking about what was there and what was not.
Now the Kings of Madrid are on the attack.
This is not surprising, they have been attacking from the beginning of the game and have been attacking like this for twelve minutes.
In these twelve minutes, the Madrid Pirates did not attack once and were not able to advance the football within the 30-meter area of the Madrid King, let alone shoot - not even a single shot.
The Madrid Kings' offensive momentum was very strong, and they almost scored a goal once.
At that time, Cerrados' shot was saved by Hywell, hit the goal post and bounced back. Juan Ramirez took the lead and cleared the ball.
This scene caused the Kings fans in the stands to sigh collectively, and then burst into applause and cheers.
Although no goal was scored, the Kings fans still gave applause and praise without hesitation, hoping that the team could continue their efforts and strive to break through the Madrid Pirates goal as soon as possible.
In the two-round match, for the trailing side, the sooner they equalize the total score, the more favorable the situation will be for them.
If the score cannot be equalized for a long time, the opponent will become more confident as they defend.
"Being first" is very important.
However, there is also a hidden danger in the Madrid Kings' indiscriminate bombardment - the space behind them is too big.
If the Pirates can seize the opportunity and launch a counterattack, they can threaten the King of Madrid's goal.
Although there is no sign so far that pirates can do this, who can say for sure?
※※※
The Kings of Madrid have just finished an attack.
Although Vandenberg's header was caught by Hywell, basically all the players of the Madrid Kings did not move back. Their front three were guarding just outside the Pirates' penalty area, trying to get in front of the center.
The field directly counterattacked.
Seeing this, Hywell directly drove the football forward, looking for high center forward Ruiz.
Ruiz is 1.9 meters tall and has good header ability. He is the bridgehead for the Madrid Pirates when attacking in the frontcourt.
Of course, he also received the attention of the Madrid King's defense.
In the high ball duel, Ruiz's threat is even higher than Hulay.
King Madrid's young center back Nuno Sequeiros jumped up and challenged Ruiz for the top.
The two collided in the air, and the football was pushed back by Sequeiros.
Hu Lai, who was grabbing the second spot next to him, was originally planning to run back, but when he looked back at the situation behind him, he immediately turned around and moved forward without hesitation.
Behind him, DiQuinzo was running toward the football, with no Kings players around him.
This made Hu Lai realize that this might be an opportunity to fight back.
He hoped DiCunzo would see his movement.
DiQuinzo did see it, and he saw it before catching the ball, so he already knew in his heart what he should do next.
He did not stop the ball, but raised his right leg, faced the football being pushed, and straightened his instep to sweep over!
The football was swept diagonally forward by him towards the middle, flying low and close to the turf!
"Di Kunzo's big pass...beautiful! Opportunity!"
As the commentator shouted, the camera followed the move and caught up.
Everyone saw a blue figure behind the Madrid King's defense, running wildly towards the football!
"Hu Lai! This ball should not be offside! Yes, it is not offside!" He Feng confirmed.
Peralta followed closely behind him, but due to the slow start, he was left behind by Hulay.
He is trying his best to catch up and gradually close the distance with Hu Lai.
But Hulay is also shortening the distance between himself and the King of Madrid's goal!
For Peralta, he still has another chance, which is to wait for Hulay to catch the ball.
Hu Lai will slow down when he catches the ball. This is a good opportunity for you to tag in and entangle him without fouling.
As long as he can get involved, it will be difficult to get past him with Hu Lai's ball dribbling ability.
Hu Lai, who was running, turned to look at the football flying from behind.
The ball speed is very fast, and it is difficult to stop when there are pursuers behind.
Hu Lai looked up at the goal in front of him. Goalkeeper Bakker did not immediately retreat to the goal, but stood near the penalty spot. He seemed to be still observing the development of the situation and considering whether to come up to block his shot angle or retreat to the goal.
Prevent the hanging door from hanging in front...
Hu Lai has made his decision.
Following the rolling football, he raised his right leg.
Peralta stared at this scene, but did not take any action - he was afraid of fouling. If he fouled at this time, he would probably be sent off directly with a red card.
So he had to wait for Hu Lai to stop the ball, and then lean forward suddenly, not too hard, but enough to allow him to adjust a few more times to protect the football.
This is how Peralta made his wishful thinking in his mind, uu reading, but he was only halfway through the calculation when his eyes suddenly widened, and at the same time, he no longer hesitated and directly stepped towards football and Hu Lai!
Because he discovered that Hu Lai raised his right leg not to stop the ball, but... to shoot directly!
Bang!
He still couldn't stop Hu Lai.
After a muffled sound, Hu Lai whipped the football towards the goal with the instep of his right foot!
Seeing Hulay's shot, Bucker had no time to step forward to block the angle. He could only make a hasty save, and ejected his body backwards, trying to extend the distance between himself and the football as much as possible to buy time for his save.
.
However, the football shot by Hu Lai did not fly at a low altitude, but flew upwards, like a plane, pulling up before Bucker and flying into the sky!
Bucker could only watch the football fly past his face, he could do nothing!
The football has already flown into the goal behind Bucker, pulling up the net behind the goal and straightening it!
Only fourteen minutes into the game, the away team Madrid Pirates unexpectedly took the lead!
It was their main striker Hulay who scored the goal. He scored his fifteenth goal in the Champions League this season. It was also his twentieth Champions League goal in his career, and he only took ten
In seven games, he surpassed German striker Mark Becker and created a new Champions League record for him!
