Truck driver Andy Warman parked his car in the rest area. He had already eaten dinner in the car, packed up all his things, and was now sitting on the bed behind the driver's seat, watching on the satellite TV in the car.
Live broadcast of a La Liga match.
As a Tramed fan, he not only watched the live broadcast of La Liga games, but was also very immersed in watching them, and his whole body was tense and extremely nervous.
The reason that made him so nervous was the game in front of him.
Pirates of Madrid challenge Real Catalon away.
The game has reached the 70th minute, and the score is still 0:0.
On TV, the British commentator was saying:
"...Before this round of the league, Real Catajon was ranked sixth with 50 points, which is a ranking that can participate in the European War. But they are only six points more than seventh-placed Saria in the league. In this round of the league,
Saria defeated Real Huelva 2:1 in the away game, which has reduced the points gap between the two teams to three points. Therefore, if Real Catajon cannot defeat Madrid Pirates at home, they may lose the European Cup in the last four rounds of the league.
Qualified. So Royal Cathorn played very tenaciously in this game..."
Before the commentator finished speaking, an offensive organized by Madrid Pirates hit the penalty area of Real Catajon.
Under the personal interference of the opponent's two defensive players, Hu Lai still relied on his extraordinary judgment of the football's placement to grab the spot and form an attack.
However, under the double-team defense of two people, his shot did not have any power and was easily confiscated by Real Catajon goalkeeper Salva Rodriguez.
"Damn it! Come on, Hu!"
Seeing this scene, Andy Warman hit the bed under him hard, making a dull sound.
"e on! Show off your scoring form at our home court! Aren't you very good at scoring goals? You can score three goals against Tramed. Are Real Catharon better than Tramed?!
Do not make jokes!"
Just seven days ago, the truck driver was still shouting curses at Hu Lai in the stands of the Red Roof Stadium because he scored three goals in one go, completely ruining Tramed's hopes of a comeback.
And now, Andy Warman is also cursing Hu Lai loudly, but it's because Hu Lai can't score a goal...
Are these two extreme manifestations the loss of morality or the distortion of human nature? Is there any ulterior secret behind this?
nothing.
In fact, Warman just placed a bet on Hu Lai, betting that he could score 50 or more goals in a single season, betting that he could score continuously until the end of the league.
Andy Warman bet two hundred pounds on each of these two outcomes.
Although when he placed the bet, the odds were no longer as high as when the market opened, it still allowed Warman to make a small profit.
Even if it doesn't make him rich overnight like Neil Mullin, it's still a good result for Warman.
Now Hu Lai is only one goal away from his 50th league goal, and Warman is only one goal away from winning 200,000 pounds.
At the same time, if Hu Lai can continue to score goals in this game, he can continue his scoring momentum this season. Warman bets that he can score goals until the end of the season so that his money will not be wasted.
The two together add up to almost half a million pounds before tax.
So if Hu Lai can score a goal now, it will be a goal worth half a million pounds!
How could Andy Warman not care and be nervous?
At first, he was lying on the bed watching the game. Later, as the game progressed, his posture continued to change.
After hammering the bed board hard, he simply got off the bed and stood in the cockpit of the truck to watch the game. This is a standard posture for fans to watch games when they feel nervous.
On the small TV screen, the Madrid Pirates were laying siege to Real Catajon's goal.
Just looking at this picture, one must think that this is the home stadium of Madrid Pirates, and their backfield is filled with large spaces.
If a Madrid Pirates fan saw this scene, he would definitely be worried that the team that was outnumbered would not only fail to score a goal at the last moment of the game, but would also have one stolen by Real Catalon.
In fact, this is how Royal Cathorn's tactics are arranged...
In this game, they have taken advantage of Madrid Pirates' offensive opportunities many times to counterattack them.
However, Real Catalon lacked an efficient shooter like Hu Lai, and the excellent performance of Madrid Pirates goalkeeper Hewel prevented Real Catalon from succeeding in a sneak attack.
Now as the end of the game approaches, the Madrid Pirates' offense is getting more and more crazy. Maybe they really have a chance to be successfully attacked by Real Catajon?
But Andy Warman doesn't care.
It doesn't matter to him whether the Madrid Pirates lose or not, he only cares whether he scores or not.
As long as Hu Lai can score goals, it doesn't matter even if the Madrid Pirates lose the league championship.
※※※
The attack of the Madrid Pirates on the field was finally completed by Vukovic, whose long shot was blocked by the opponent's Jacob Tipland.
Madrid Pirates receive a corner kick.
When Andy Warman saw people squeezing in front of the door, he couldn't help but worry: "What are you doing in front of the door? With your small body, what can you do if you go there? You should pull out! Only when you pull out will you be free.
!Aren’t you very good at finding openings? There is a ghost opening in front of the door!”
He pointed at the TV screen anxiously, like a real Madrid Pirates fan.
However, it was impossible for Hu Lai to hear his complaints in distant England, so he still stood in front of the door and squeezed into the densest crowd.
Just when Warman was getting angry, a clear whistle sounded and Vukovich kicked the football towards the goal.
Hu Lai, who was originally crowded with others in the small penalty area, suddenly pulled away laterally and sprinted forward!
Then he jumped high before everyone else, then turned in the air and threw the flying football towards the back of the goal!
Royal Caterhorn's center back Jacob Tipland did not catch up in time and was left behind. He could only stretch out his hand to pull Hu Lai in an attempt to interfere with him.
But he didn’t even touch Hu Lai’s jersey!
The football was thrown towards the back of the goal. Goalkeeper Salva Rodriguez jumped into the air, stretched out his arms, and tried to save the football.
But he didn't touch the ball!
Hu Lai is very tricky with this move!
He was not just shaking his head, but his whole body was spinning along with it. After heading the ball, he changed from facing away from the goal to facing the goal, as if he was sitting on a swivel chair!
The football passed through the hands of Salva Rodriguez, hit the inside of the far post, and finally bounced into the goal!
"Hu!! He scored! He scored! He finally scored! 1:0! He gave Madrid Pirates the lead! At the same time, this was also his fiftieth goal in La Liga this season!! He became the first person in history! The first player in history to score 50 goals in a single season in La Liga! The first player in history to score 50 goals in a single season in the five major European leagues! This season belongs to Hu of!"
"Hu!! Hu Lai!! Ahahahaha! Hahaha! Beautiful!! Hu! Beautiful!!"
Andy Warman in the cockpit excitedly threw himself on the bed, beat the bed board hard, and laughed loudly.
Then he stood up and rushed to the driver's seat, slapping the horn on the steering wheel hard.
The truck made a deafening beep.
He didn't care that this might disturb the truck drivers who were also resting around him. He could no longer think calmly and rationally and just wanted to vent his inner emotions.
As happy as a random fan...
After he finally calmed down a little, he returned to the TV, looked at the slow motion of the goal being replayed on the screen, and murmured: "Okay, I forgive you for eliminating Tramed, Hu... …You are amazing! I love you! I love you to death! I hope your girlfriend doesn’t mind…ha!”
Then he sat down with satisfaction, leaned on the bed, took out his mobile phone and couldn't wait to send a message to Neil Mullin: "I sent it, man! Thank you, Neil, I want to buy you a drink!"
Although the match between Madrid Pirates and Real Catajon is not over yet, he no longer cares about the result of the game or whether Real Catajon can still fight back.
For him, Hu Lai scored the 50th goal in the league and scored in the 30th consecutive round, which is what this game is all about.
※※※
Hu Lai scored his 50th goal in the league this season and has scored goals in 30 consecutive league games. It is indeed all about the away game between Madrid Pirates and Real Catajon.
After Hu Lai scored, the score never changed again.
In the end, Madrid Pirates defeated Real Catajon 1:0 in an away game and continued to lead the league standings.
Apart from Hu Lai's goal, there was nothing else worth mentioning in this game.
