Chapter two hundred and thirty-five two goals in a row
When Catalonia's right back Calderon turned his attention to Dikunzo, Irazusta did not stop, but continued to advance forward resolutely.
It was precisely because he saw his forward movement that Di Kunzo passed the football straight through.
When Irazusta received the ball, Catalonia's French center back Paul Fortune turned back twice in a row and failed to find his target, but those watching the live TV saw it clearly:
When Fortune looked back toward the goal for the first time, Hulay ducked away from the goal, right in Fortune's blind spot.
Then Fortune turned his head in another direction, and Hu Lai suddenly stopped and changed direction, dodging towards the door. He appeared out of Fortune's sight again.
At the same time Irazusta passed the ball.
Hulay appeared exactly on the football path.
The rest is too simple for a shooter of Hu Lai's level.
The Catalan United defensive midfielder Insuya only staggered a little when he tackled him, but before that, the football had already flown into the goal!
Changing directions to dodge twice in a row, this action did not pass through Hu Lai's brain at all and has become his instinct.
The speed was very fast and there was no warning, so neither Paul Fortune nor other Catalan players reacted, allowing Hulay to score the goal.
Seeing Hulay's goal, Catalan United head coach Jose Bernal sighed heavily on the sidelines.
He completely did not expect that the Madrid Pirates, who were playing away games, would dare to attack right from the start of the game, so Catalonia was caught off guard and acted very passively.
Bernal could only quickly ask the team to recover its defense and first withstand the series of offensives launched by the Pirates at the beginning.
But now his plan failed and the team failed to withstand it, allowing the Madrid Pirates to score the goal!
Less than ten minutes into the game, they lost the ball, which made Catalonia very passive...
There were boos in the stands, but I don’t know whether the boos were aimed at the Madrid Pirates or Catalan United. Catalan United’s performance in these ten minutes was indeed not satisfactory. As the home team, it was almost completely ignored.
The Madrid Pirates fought hard and had no power to fight back.
Now that the score is behind, Catalonia has no other choice but to attack and try to equalize the score as soon as possible. Otherwise, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to them.
But when he attacks, the space behind him...
Jose Bernal thought for a while and decided to attack.
Because this is the home court of Catalan United, Catalan United has no reason to give in when facing aggressive opponents at its home court.
If this was an away game, he wouldn't mind continuing to shrink his defense after conceding the ball to avoid conceding another goal in a short period of time...

When Hulay scored, Parotti and his fellow coaches rushed out of their seats, cheering and celebrating the goal.
Their tactical goal is to attack at the beginning, strive for the first goal, and take the initiative on their own side!
[By the way, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, install the latest version. 】
But while he was happy, Parotti did not forget to remind his team: "If Catalonia wants to attack, then we will attack them!"
There is no problem in retreating to defend after leading by one goal, but in this game, it is not wise to face Catalonia United away from home.
That is tantamount to giving up possession of the ball and space on the field.
Moreover, in the initial tactics, this was originally designed to attack and score first. After taking the lead, let Catalonia attack in full. The Madrid Pirates would not retreat to defend and counterattack, but would play in the midfield with Catalonia.
Frontal confrontation.
You must know that the advantage of Catalan United lies in the midfield. But the Madrid Pirates dare to do this, on the one hand because of the return of Carey, and on the other hand because of the performance of Gaspar Rosas, Catalan United’s midfield brain this season.
After the decline in form, Catalonia's midfield control is not as good as before.

"The pirates are ahead..."
The Pirates of Madrid are paying attention to the game between the Kings and Saria, and the same is true for the Kings.
They even care more about their rivals in the same city.
Because whether the Madrid Kings can win the league championship depends on the results of the Pirates and Catalonia games.
If the Pirates defeat Catalonia, even if the Kings beat Saria with ten goals, it will be of no avail.
Kings head coach Royce didn't stop his coaches from paying attention to another game.
"What are Catalonia doing? Isn't that their home stadium?"
"It was Hu who scored the goal?"
"Well, it's him. The 34th goal in the league."
"It's really scary. La Liga's single-season scoring record is 38 goals, right?"
…
When Royvi heard such whispers, he couldn't help but snorted: "Melli is also great. He has scored more than 30 goals now. Considering this is his first season as the team's main attacker,
It’s even more amazing that you can perform like this with your hands.”
"Of course. In fact, even if Melli doesn't win the league's Golden Boot this season, I believe he will win this honor next season..." Assistant coach Gonzalez echoed.
The head coach and assistant coach both said this, and the others remained silent. The topic ended here.
Calm returned in front of the coach's bench, and everyone turned their attention to the stadium. The King of Madrid was beating Saria at home.
But Saria played very tenaciously.
Although they fell behind by a goal in the first three minutes, they quickly stabilized their position. Even though the Kings bombarded their half, they didn't collapse. So far, they haven't conceded any more goals.
The silence on the coaching bench did not last long, and suddenly there was a burst of harsh boos from the Crown Stadium.
Amidst the boos, an exclamation came from the corner of the coaching bench: "God! Hu scored again?!"
Royvi and Gonzalez simultaneously turned to look at the exclaimed coach in surprise.
※※ ※
The boos at the Holy Family Stadium were loud, and the real-time score at this moment was displayed on the stadium's big screen.
The game had only started for 18 minutes, and Catalonia was already 0-0 behind.
In the corner flag area below the big screen, Hu Lai jumped high and made his signature celebration move.
When he landed, I don't know if it was an illusion, but the boos became even louder.
But Hu Lai didn't care. He happily greeted his running teammates, opened his arms and hugged them.
"Hulay! Hulay! Beautiful!! An unexpected long-range shot! Hulay's shot completely penetrated Catalonia's defense! It was still a kick to the ground! Hulay scored his third goal of the season
Fifteen league goals helped Madrid Pirates lead Catalonia United 0:0 in the away game! And it’s only...eighteen minutes!"
In front of the TV, Yan Yan, Chu Yifan and others all jumped up from the sofa, chairs and the floor, raising their arms and shouting.
"I'm so fucking awesome!"
"Hu Lai is awesome!"
"Two goals! Oh my god! It's only been less than twenty minutes! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!"
A group of people were crying and howling, not caring whether such roaring would disturb the neighbors next door or something... Because when Hu Lai scored the first goal, they heard roars coming from all directions in the community. Obviously everyone was watching the ball.
, even if you cheer loudly at this time, no one will come to your door!
Xie Lan laughed and danced in front of the TV, and even clapped her hands vigorously.
He was still mumbling: "Well done! Well done! That's it! Merry scores one and you score two!"
Hu Lixin looked at his wife who looked like a crazy woman and couldn't help but laugh: "You..."
Xie Lan turned to stare at him: "Me what?"
Hu Lixin shook his head: "No, you are fine!"
"Huh!" Xie Lan snorted, standing in front of the TV with his hands on his hips, like a proud hen.

"This is the perfect start!"
Assistant coach Valentin shouted excitedly on the sidelines.
When Hu Lai scored in nine minutes, he thought it was a perfect start, but now it is truly a perfect start!
After conceding the first goal, Catalonia came out to attack, trying to use their home court advantage to suppress the Madrid Pirates and equalize the score as soon as possible.
But as a result, their defense was vacant, but Madrid Pirates seized the opportunity to score another victory.
Parotti's arrangement after scoring the first goal worked.
If he was only satisfied with a one-goal lead, or was worried about Catalonia's offensive power at home and chose to let the team shrink back, then this second goal would never be seen now.
While everyone around him was cheering for Hulay's two goals, Parotti remained calm. He pulled Valentin and said to him: "When they finish celebrating, tell them to slow down the pace next."
Stop attacking Catalonia!"
Valentin was stunned for a moment and asked: "What if Catalonia doesn't attack?"
"That's the same. Anyway, we are two goals ahead now. It will be beneficial to us if we delay."
Parotti was cautious at this time. He was afraid that after the players went crazy, they would get carried away and lose their minds on the court, and Catalan United would seize the opportunity...
A two-goal lead seems quite safe, but to put it bluntly, if the opponent scores a goal, it becomes a one-goal lead, and the opponent's morale will be boosted, while your own side will be hit. If one goes against the other, the game situation will become
Very unfavorable.
So there's nothing wrong with being steady at times like this.

"The long shot outside the penalty area was very sudden..."
After learning how Hulay scored the second goal, the coaches on the Kings coaching staff fell into silence for a while.
There is no exquisite coordination, nor is it any clever tactical arrangement.
Hu Lai retreated out of the penalty area, received a pass from his teammate, and then shot a cold shot before the defensive player completely blocked him.
The football was close to the turf and rushed toward the Catalan United goal... There were legs inside and outside the penalty area. Catalan United goalkeeper Cordero couldn't react in time. In addition, the shot was really tricky. He was helpless, even though he made a save.
, but can only watch the football go into the net...
Faced with such an unreasonable goal, what can you say?
Assistant coach Gonzalez set his sights on head coach Roy Wei.
Roy Wei frowned, but there was nothing he could do.
This was a match between Pirates of Madrid and Catalan United. He could do nothing but hope that Catalan United could be awakened by these two goals.
After all, the game has only started for 20 minutes, and this is at their home court... They can't just throw up their hands and surrender, right? (To be continued.)
