Chapter 382 Would you like to invite me to dinner?
In fact, Chinese fans are not very concerned about how Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi can perform in the Champions League.
What they are most concerned about right now is the weekend's La Liga match.
Can Hulay continue to score goals in the league and refresh his consecutive scoring record?
In the twenty-fourth round of the league, Madrid Pirates faced the Phoenicians at home.
Logically speaking, with the strength of the Phoenicians, currently ranked 16th, it is impossible to threaten the Madrid Pirates at their home court.
There is no suspense about the outcome of this game.
But Chinese fans are very worried about a situation like the last round when Madrid Pirates played away to Samirspor.
What if the Phoenicians just stared at Hulay throughout the game and allowed other Pirates players to score, and they also wanted to prevent Hulay from scoring?
Although after the last round of the game, no one in Samir Sports admitted that they deliberately prevented Hu Lai from scoring, but judging from the actual performance of the game, as long as the eyes are not blind and the brain is not flooded, anyone can see that.
Clues.
In the last round of the league, Samir Sports' tenacious blocking allowed Hulay to score a goal until the 71st minute, continuing his own record.
Although the goal was very beautiful.
But the better it goes, the more Chinese fans are on tenterhooks.
Because against Samir Sports, Hu Lai had to use the world wave method to score goals. Can Hu Lai have that kind of state and luck in every round of the league, and can he use the world wave to solve the problem?
Before the game even started, some Chinese fans were already yelling:
"When Cerrados set a new record, why didn't we see other La Liga teams guarding him alone? Just because Hulay is Chinese, so he is such a naked disgusting person? I think this is another case
A form of ‘racism’!”
Based on such worries, the match between the Madrid Pirates and the Phoenicians at home is definitely not as "no suspense" as the comparison of the strength of the two teams shows.
Before the game, some media interviewed Hu Lai and asked him how long this record can last before it is ended.
Hu Lai replied: "I don't know where the end of the record is, and I don't think about it. Anyway, just keep playing one game after another. I have already set a new record, so I don't really care about being able to score goals."
Of course it’s good, it’s not a big deal if you can’t score.”
His answer aroused heated discussion among everyone.
Some people say that he is really calm, while others say that he is pretending to be calm, but in fact he is worried to death.
As Hu Lai's fame increased, more and more voices surrounded him.
Every step he takes is inevitably accompanied by various sounds.
Some of these sounds are nice and sweet, while others are not so nice or even harsh.
Fortunately, Hu Lai has a big heart and is able to turn a deaf ear to these voices and prevent them from affecting his game performance.
※※※
Everyone was noisy before the game, but in the end we had to watch the game.
Whether Hu Lai is really relaxed or fake will be revealed after the game starts.
As a result, everyone argued so much that Madrid Pirates got a penalty kick just thirteen minutes into the game!
This penalty kick was created by Hulay himself - he broke into the penalty area to receive the ball and was pushed to the ground by the Phoenician defender when he received the ball.
The referee decisively blew the whistle and awarded the penalty kick!
There were thunderous cheers at Pirates Park.
All Pirates fans know what this penalty means...
The number one penalty kick taker in the Pirates team is Hu Lai, so even if there is no record, this penalty kick must be taken by Hu Lai.
In order to prevent misjudgments, the referee also communicated specifically with the video referee team and confirmed it through video replay.
The opponent's central defender did make a very obvious hand push. Although the force was not very strong, it was enough to make Hu Lai, who was running at high speed, lose his balance and fall to the ground.
"There is no doubt about this penalty kick!" He Feng said excitedly.
As long as Hulay can take the penalty kick he created, he will score goals in twenty consecutive league rounds.
Is there any difficulty in this ball?
For others, maybe.
After all, penalty kicks are not always scored, and sometimes the pressure to take penalty kicks is the greatest.
But for Hu Lai, there is no problem. Everyone believes that with his psychological endurance, the pressure of this penalty kick is too childish...
The Phoenicians still wanted to try harder.
Their goalkeeper Julian Marcos came up to Hulay when he was placing the football and said to him:
"I've heard rumors about you, Hu. But I'm going to save your shot this time!"
As a goalkeeper, on the one hand, he said this to engage in psychological warfare with Hu Lai, and on the other hand, he also wanted to increase his confidence.
In actual matches, when a penalty kick occurs, this kind of confrontation between the goalkeeper and the kicker is very common, and it can be said that it is not uncommon.
However, Hu Lai's response was a bit unreasonable, leaving Marcos stunned.
"Really? Then if I score, will you treat me to dinner?"
Marcos was stunned for a moment.
What the hell is asking for dinner?!
Seeing that Marcos did not answer, Hulay added: "How about this? If you save my penalty kick, treat me to a meal as a thank you for allowing you to save the penalty kick. How about that?"
Marcos finally realized that Hu Lai was playing tricks on himself!
His breathing suddenly became much heavier.
Then he ignored the other party and retreated to the goal line, panting heavily.
When he stood up, he heard Hu Lai reminding him loudly: "Remember, I like spicy food!"
Marcos ignored him, but lowered his waist, lowered his center of gravity, opened his arms, and was ready to pounce on the ball.
Hu Lai didn't care, he smiled slightly when he saw it.
After the referee blew the whistle, he started to run and shoot!
He pushed the football steadily towards the lower right corner of the goal, while goalkeeper Marcos pounced towards the lower left corner, completely misjudging the direction!
"Hu - Lai!!! The ball is scored! Good goal! What a good goal! Hu Lai has scored goals in twenty consecutive league rounds! His record continues!"
The biggest suspense of this game is over.
※※※
Hulay's goal opened the door to victory for Madrid Pirates. In the 20th minute, Maxi Carey volleyed from the penalty area.
Marcos missed the save and the ball hit the net.
Madrid Pirates leads Phoenicians 2:0.
Nine minutes later, Vukovic suddenly shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area and scored from a long distance.
Madrid Pirates lead 3:0.
Before the first half of the game ended, Madrid Pirates had basically sealed the victory.
All suspense in this game is gone.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, but no one scored again.
In the end, Madrid Pirates defeated the Phoenicians 3-0 at home with three goals in the first half and continued to lead the league standings.

In the Champions League match in midweek, Luo Kai did not start in Tramed's away game against the Turin Bulls, but came on as a substitute in the 77th minute.
This is not a tactical adjustment, but a replacement for the injured Welsh right midfielder George Payne.
At that time, the score was 1:1, and his main task after coming on was to defend the right side to ensure that the Turin Bulls, who were desperately counterattacking, would not threaten the goal through the right side.
He did a good job.
For Luo Kai, who can play as a right back in the national team, defense is not too difficult.
In the end, with the collective efforts of all Tramed players, they drew 1:1 with the Turin Bulls in the away game, laying a solid foundation for advancing to the quarterfinals.
One day later, Chen Xingyi's Athletic Amsterdam lost 1:2 at home to Paris Eger, losing the opportunity to advance to the quarterfinals, but it was not completely hopeless.
In the other two Champions League quarter-finals, St. Petersburg Metallurgical lost to Blue and White Munich 1:3 at home. Mark Becker completed a hat trick, surpassing Hulay with nine Champions League goals, and regained the top spot in the Champions League scorer list.
Melli's Madrid Kings also won on the road, beating Westphalia 3:0.
The Argentine had one goal and one assist and was elected the best of the match.
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is all over.
The second round will not resume until two weeks later.
This time is reserved for their respective domestic cup competitions.
Whether it's the King's Cup, the FA Cup or the German Cup, you can take the time to play.
Madrid Pirates are now first in the league, two points ahead of second-placed Madrid Kings.
In the King's Cup, they also reached the second leg of the semi-finals. In the first round, they defeated Real Catajon 2:0. If nothing else, they have great hopes of reaching the King's Cup final.
If they really reach the final, they will hope to achieve the first Triple Crown in Spanish football history this season.
The Madrid king came very close to this achievement last season, but failed.
It was the Pirates of Madrid who stopped them.
This season, I wonder if the Kings will be able to stop their rivals in the same city like the Pirates did last season.
At least in the Copa del Rey, they can only be spectators - they were eliminated by Sporting Vizcaya in the quarter-finals and were not even qualified to participate in the semi-finals.
The other semi-final of the King's Cup is between Sporting Vizcaya and Saria, who eliminated the King of Madrid. The two teams are currently tied 0:0 in the first round, but the second round is Saria's home court.
Has a favorable location.
This made many Zhang Qinghuan fans very excited, hoping to see Brother Huan and Hu Lai meet in the King's Cup final.
