Chapter 371: It’s also a kind of experience... right?
"Thunder! Thunder!"
Assistant coach Fernando Gonzalez roared loudly on the training ground:
"Concentrate! This is training, not playing house! You won't achieve any training effect!"
Claudio Ray quickly apologized to his assistant coach and returned to training.
But it still caused head coach Roy Wei to snort in dissatisfaction.
After training, he returned to the locker room, and Claudio Ray quickly packed up and left.
As soon as he left, captain Cerrados returned to the locker room, looked around and asked: "Where is Claudio?"
Someone answered him: "I left, not long ago."
Cerrados sighed: "Forget it, I'll find him again tomorrow..."
"What's going on?" A teammate asked curiously. "Is Mr. Royvi looking for you just because of him?"
"Who else could it be for?" Cerrados shrugged, "Didn't you find that Claudio's mental state was not right after that game?"
In fact, strictly speaking, it was not after the game, but the day after the game.
As the video on the Internet spread more and more widely and became more and more influential, Claudio Ray's mental state began to plummet.
Obviously, those comments and discussions on the Internet deeply hurt him.
"I know it's not appropriate to say this, but I still have to say, this kid brought it all on himself!"
Peralta, the team's main center back, took off his training clothes and threw them at his feet, with his upper body naked, and hummed.
Albin Eström also agreed: "I remember I told him before the game, don't talk nonsense, right? Before he did this, we were ahead in terms of score and form.
In the end, he didn’t know what he was thinking, and actually went to provoke Hu... Then he not only angered Hu, but also activated Kaili, what a fucking ghost!"
As a midfielder, Estrom kept wiping Claudio Ray's butt in the second half of the game, but facing the crazy Maxi Carey and Vukovic, he was really unable to stand alone.
, the game was very embarrassing and very hard.
Originally, in the three-man midfielder, Osei, the real midfielder, was only responsible for defense, while Dudu Carlos was dedicated to organizing the offense. Estrom had to take care of both offense and defense, helping on both sides.
But in the Madrid Derby, he almost became a pure engineer later on.
This is actually not what Estrom is capable of, nor is it what he likes.
Without his support on the offensive end, Dudu Carlos can create fewer offensive opportunities.
With one move affecting the whole body, the offensive quality of the Kings of Madrid naturally plummeted, and they were defeated by the Madrid Pirates.
When it comes to Claudio Ray, Estrom also has a lot of opinions to complain about.
Others seemed to feel the same way, and everyone wanted to complain.
There were various analyzes after the game, and everyone could see that the turning point of the game was actually Claudio Ray running to provoke Hu Lai. After that, Hu Lai found Kyrie, chatted with Kyrie for a few words, and then
Kyrie burst out and equalized the score before the end of the first half.
In the second half, Hulay was unstoppable, which ultimately led to the defeat of the Madrid Kings.
From the fact that Hulay went to celebrate with Claudio Ray after completing his hat trick, it can be seen that he was indeed unhappy with Ray's provocation in the first half. And he did not celebrate after scoring the first goal.
Instead, he waited until he completed the hat. It shows that he was holding back his energy and wanted to score three goals before being shocked.
Isn’t it obvious that it was Lei who started this matter?
What made everyone very unhappy was that before the game, they actually told Lei specifically that they could not talk to Hu Lai during the game under any circumstances.
You must know that Cordero's "tragedy" is still fresh in our minds. Not long ago, no one wanted to become the second Cordero, so they were very concerned about this issue.
But all of them cared about it. Claudio Ray, who faced Julai for the first time in the game, turned a deaf ear because his willful actions put the whole team into an impossible situation.
This is the most annoying thing.
Cerrados saw such signs and quickly stood up as captain to interrupt the momentum. He said to everyone: "No matter what, he is one of us. We cannot simply take the responsibility for losing the game."
Push it to him alone..."
Now that the captain has said this, the others naturally can't continue to complain. They all shut up, but judging from their expressions... they still care a lot.
Of course, Cerrados knew what everyone was thinking. He looked around the locker room and finally his eyes fell on Mellie Banega, who had been silent and showed no obvious emotions.
Claudio Ray admired Melly very much, so Cerrados wanted to ask Melly to enlighten Ray. He named him: "Melly, do you want to take the time to talk to him?"
Unexpectedly, Melly's answer surprised Cerrados:
"I think now is not the best time to go to him. Captain Claudio has indeed been hit, but this is not a bad thing for him. People always have to experience setbacks to grow, and he also needs to experience something like this.
Frustration, otherwise if things go too smoothly, his mental endurance may not allow him to play in a club like the Kings..."
Cerrados understood that Merry didn't want to care.
He admitted that what Melly said made some sense, but the problem now was that the setback Claudio Ray encountered might... be too big.
If he was just passed by Kyrie again and again in the game, and Hu Lai scored on him... then it would be no problem.
But the current situation is that after the game, the "cyber violence" against Claudio Ray not only did not disappear, but also intensified.
Cerrados didn't even know if Ray could make it through.
Of course, if he can really do it, his future will be limitless.
But what if you can’t make it through?
Someone has to help this young man, right? This is the duty of the veteran.
Cerrados decided to do it himself.
After all, he is a talented player trained by the Kings themselves. As the captain of the Kings, how can he ignore it?

"I heard there seems to be something wrong with Ray..."
During dinner, Li Qingqing talked to Hu Lai about the gossip she heard in the team.
"what is the problem?"
"I was out of shape during training for several days and was scolded by the coach. Everyone is saying that it was because of your celebration..."
Hu Lai laughed: "Is that kid's mental endurance that bad? This is where he is not as good as our Chinese players."
"How to say?"
"We have been scolded since childhood, and we have already developed a body of copper and iron, and a big heart! No matter how wind blows from east to west, north or south, I will remain unmoved!"
Hu Lai said with his hands behind his back and his head held high.
Li Qingqing reached out and patted him: "You are quite proud!"
Then he added: "But I'm not worried about Kings fans coming to scold you for this. You have a bigger heart than Ray."
"Hey, I'm great everywhere!" Hu Lai continued to be proud.
Li Qingqing was happy: "Hey, you want me to avenge the king again?"
Hu Lai was instantly frightened: "No, no, I didn't mean that..."
Then he changed the subject: "I'm worried that you will be implicated by me. They know that scolding me is useless, what if they come to scold you?"
Li Qingqing snorted: "If you really scold me, I will transfer to the Pirates!"
Hu Lai was surprised: "What the hell?"
Li Qingqing waved his hands repeatedly: "You're kidding! Kings fans won't come to trouble me. My teammates also said that this incident was always the result of Lei's provocation... If he didn't provoke you with the World Footballer, I guess you
I won’t do that either.”
Hu Lai nodded and said: "Of course. It's normal to have a war of words on the court. You have to suffer if you lose. There's nothing to feel wronged about. If you're not convinced, just win it in the next game, right? Or wait until this Thursday.
Can you help Lei get revenge?"
Li Qingqing rolled her eyes at Hu Lai: "Why should I help him get revenge?"
Hu Lai was a little surprised: "You didn't ask me why it was Thursday?"
"Because you have the King's Cup semi-final against Royal Catharon on Wednesday." Li Qingqing replied.
Hu Lai chuckled: "That's what I mean."

On the evening of Wednesday, February 7th, Madrid Pirates faced Real Catajon at home.
This is the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
In fact, before the "Madrid Derby" with the Madrid Kings, they played a Copa del Rey game. The Madrid Pirates defeated Samirspor 3:2 at home with half of the main lineup rotated.
Hulay came on as a substitute in the second half of that game, but did not score.
Letting him play is just to maintain the game condition so that he can better deal with the King of Madrid.
In the context of the Madrid derby, this Copa del Rey match did not attract people's attention at all. Some people even didn't know that three days before the derby in the same city, the team had a Copa del Rey match.
Originally I didn't put much effort into the tournament, it was just a training for the rotation of the lineup, but now I have reached the semi-finals in one go, so I can no longer treat it with the mentality of "training the team".
So in the first round of the semi-finals against Real Catajon, even though the Madrid derby had just been played, Parotti was still almost in the main lineup, only rotating in a few positions. For example, in the goalkeeper position, Thirty-Three
The 20-year-old backup goalkeeper Olmer Caballo started in place of Hewel.
The 29-year-old Hywell is at the peak of his career. As long as he is not injured, it is difficult for the substitute goalkeeper to shake his position. In order to give the substitute goalkeeper a chance to play, Cabaro has always been started before the King's Cup.
of.
If the team reaches the King's Cup final, this will still be the arrangement.
This is also the feeling of trying to take care of the substitute goalkeeper.
Otherwise, in several seasons of the team, the total number of appearances has not reached double digits, which is really unjustifiable...
However, in addition to the goalkeeper, Parotti still used his main players in key positions.
The starting striker combination is still Maxi Carey and Hu Lai.
Midfielder Vukovich also did not take a rest.
However, captain Juan Ramirez was replaced by Joaquin Vela.
Joaquin Vela is an excellent jack-of-all-trades, with a balanced offense and defense, and can naturally play as a defensive midfielder.
In the end, with goals from Hulay and left-back Olaf Brynjolfsson, Madrid Pirates defeated Real Catajon 2:0 at home and won the opportunity to advance to the semifinals.
The second leg of the semi-finals will have to wait until a month later to make way for the league and the upcoming Champions League knockout rounds - two months after the group stage, the Champions League knockout rounds are finally coming.
