Chapter 423 Before the Champions League semi-finals
After leaving all the matters of building the museum to Song Jiajia, Hu Lai left it alone.
As for buying a villa, setting up a museum, and eventually buying it as a wedding room, Hu Lai had nothing to do with it.
In short, he doesn't need to worry about anything other than football.
Now he just needs to play well with peace of mind.
Or to be precise, to play well in the Champions League semi-finals against the Blue and White Munich.
However, before the Champions League semi-finals with Blue and White Munich, Madrid Pirates have one more league game, and they face Sporting Vizcaya at home.
As soon as this team played against the top three of the Western Premier League, it was as if they were beaten to death.
This time they also hope to take advantage of the fact that Madrid Pirates is preparing for the Champions League semi-finals with Blue and White Munich and defeat Madrid Pirates away from home.
They are currently 10th in the league, seven points adrift of sixth-placed Real Caterhorn, with four games remaining.
It's not that there is no chance to compete for the top six in the league and get the chance to participate in the European competition.
Of course, we have to defeat Madrid Pirates first.
Madrid Pirates will play the Champions League semi-finals next Tuesday, which is a good thing for Sporting Biscay.
Maybe they have a chance to win on the road.
But when it came to the game, they discovered that the situation was different from what they expected - Madrid Pirates had indeed rotated the lineup to a certain extent, and it could be seen that Parotti was also preparing for the Champions League in midweek.
But he didn't give up on the league completely.
Because the main offensive players including Hulay, Kamara and Vukovic are still on the court.
Especially Hu Lai.
Isn't there such a joke?
——Based on Hulay's performance this season, as long as he plays, the Madrid Pirates will start the game with a score of 1:0.
This is a joke, but it seems to be a fact.
Madrid Pirates have scored 79 goals in the league this season, Hulay has scored 50 goals alone, and the rest have only scored 29 goals combined.
If we only count those games in which Hulay's goals determined the outcome, then Hulay's goals brought a total of 64 points to the team.
And Madrid Pirates now only have 93 points in total.
Of course, behind Hulay's crazy performance, it was also the result of the entire Madrid Pirates team's strong support for him.
Because of Hulay alone, the Madrid Pirates have had three players with double figures in assists so far this season, namely Maxi Carey with 13 assists, Kamara with 12 assists, and 10 assists.
Vukovich.
Many times, assists become extremely simple - you only need to pass the football to Hu Lai, and you can get an assist.
Even though the Kings of Madrid and Catalonia United scored more goals than the Pirates of Madrid, many of their extra goals came from weak teams.
For example, in the fourth round of the league, the Kings of Madrid scored eight goals in away games against newly promoted Atlético Corvette and nine goals against Real Huelva.
Catalonia scored a total of nine goals in two rounds against Real Huelva, nine goals in two rounds against Aijer, and 13 goals in two rounds against Moriles.
Compared with them, Madrid Pirates' ability to score goals against weak teams is indeed worse, but they are particularly good at scoring goals against strong teams.
For example, he scored four goals in a single game against the Kings, four goals in a single game against Catalonia, seven goals in two games against Sevilla Navigators, and three goals in a single game against Valentia.
There was no ambiguity against Sporting Biscay. They scored four goals in the away game and defeated their opponent 4:1. Hulay scored twice and provided an assist in the game.
So this time Madrid Pirates will face Sporting Vizcaya at home. Even if the head coach makes some rotations in the lineup, with four rounds left in the league, the Pirates players cannot really give up on this game.
In other games in the same round that ended previously, Catalonia defeated Moriles 8:0 in an away game, temporarily reducing the points with Madrid Pirates to one point with one more game.
If the Madrid Pirates cannot win Sporting Vizcaya at home, the previous four-point lead will be gone, and it will also give Catalonia huge confidence in the penultimate round of the league, making them like mad dogs at home.
, want to defeat Madrid Pirates.
In order not to put their team into such a dangerous situation, the players of Madrid Pirates must also win the home game against Sporting Vizcaya.
In the end, relying on goals from Jule and Camara, Madrid Pirates defeated Sporting Vizcaya 2:0 at home.
Hulay scored his 51st goal in the league.
"Obviously, Hu has no intention of stopping yet! Maybe he can really score goals in the remaining games! That would be amazing!"
Hulay was substituted after scoring a goal, not because he was afraid of running out of energy for next Tuesday's game - Hulay has been fighting on multiple fronts this season, almost full attendance, scoring in every game, and in excellent form. Facts have proved that he does not exist
Physical issues - mainly because he is afraid of getting injured.
Sporting Vizcaya's style of play is relatively rough, and they make big movements when playing football. It's almost like the Madrid Pirates players have a grudge against killing their fathers.
This season... no, since joining Madrid Pirates, Hulay has remained healthy and has not suffered any injuries.
Parotti believes that this is the team's good luck, but he does not think that the good luck can last forever. If good luck is always expected to keep Hulay away from injuries, but the team's coaching staff does nothing, then Hulay
Lai is probably not far away from being injured.
So the Italian coach almost immediately replaced Julei - Julei had just finished celebrating his goal and was replaced by Ruiz after the game resumed.
If Hulay doesn't score again, Parotti really doesn't know if he will replace him.
After all, Hu Lai has broken many records now. If the consecutive scoring record ends at this time, he may not complain about himself?
Fortunately, Hulay scored in the 61st minute and did not let Parotti have to do this multiple choice question.
"Hulay has completed his task in this game, and now I hope he can continue his good form in the Champions League semi-finals next week."
Seeing Hu Lai waving to the home fans after he walked off the field, He Feng gave his heartfelt blessings.
Now all Chinese fans, including him, are already thinking about the early morning of next Wednesday.
At that time, Madrid Pirates will face Blue and White Munich at home.
Last season Hulay failed to reach the Champions League semi-finals and failed to go further.
He is in such good condition this time, and everyone hopes that he can go one step further and become the first Chinese player to reach the Champions League final.
However, the Madrid Pirates are still fighting head-to-head with Catalan United and King of Madrid in the league, which has affected their performance in the Champions League to some extent. For example, in this league, they cannot rotate all their players to rest, and they have to risk injuries to their main players.
They are locked in a fierce battle with Sporting Vizcaya. If Hulay or other key players had any shortcomings in this game, Parotti would probably be able to transform from a "good guy" to a "devil" in an instant.
In comparison, Blue and White Munich does have a slight advantage this time.
Because they had already won the domestic league title in advance last week, Ruerrhein was completely unable to threaten them.
Therefore, Blue and White Munich can now allow its main players to fully rest and fully prepare for the Champions League semi-finals.
※※※
On the same weekend, Blue and White Munich made extensive rotations in their away game against Vesseldorf.
Almost all the main players have been replaced.
Even the main goalkeeper Tobias Schlitt was not included in the squad.
Their main striker Mark Becker was not substituted until the 82nd minute of the game.
At that time, Blue and White Munich was already trailing Vesseldorf 0:3 in the away game.
Head coach Hantcheck replaced Becker at this time, obviously not expecting him to score four goals in ten minutes to help Blue and White Munich come back to win.
"Hantczek replaced Becker at this time just to let him find his match condition and prepare for the Champions League semi-finals in midweek..." the German commentator told the TV audience the answer.
In this game, the whole Blue and White Munich team was not thinking about the league, including Mark Becker.
Ten minutes after he came on the field, he scored a goal.
The game ended in vain.
After the game he was blocked by reporters in the mixed zone:
"The next game is the Champions League semi-final against Madrid Pirates. Now can you talk about your opponent Hu? He just scored the 51st goal in the league..."
"Hu is a very powerful forward. Being able to play against such an opponent is an important charm of the Champions League - because this competition brings together the best players in the world..."
Becker's answer is obviously evasive, but this is also a necessary skill for stars when facing media challenges.
If anyone still answers reporters' questions honestly, he will be tricked to death sooner or later.
When reporters saw that Becker was tactfully refusing to be compared to Hulay, they changed their tactics.
"You have scored 16 goals in the Champions League this season and are very close to Caesar's record of 17 goals. Are you confident in setting a new record for yourself?"
"Of course I'm happy to be able to break the record, and I hope so. But now I'm more focused on the team's performance. For me, as long as we can make it to the finals, it doesn't matter whether I break the record or not."
After Becker left, reporters discussed one after another:
"How hypocritical! If he can make it to the finals, doesn't it mean that he will definitely break Caesar's record?"
"You can't say that, what if he really can't score in these two semi-finals?"
"I think with his condition, this is impossible."
"Becker is very low-key. He seems to be avoiding unnecessary controversy. But the more he is like this, the more it shows that he is determined to win the Golden Boot and the record."
"Hu actually has a chance..."
"Relatively speaking, the chance is even smaller. He is still two goals away from Becker. Unless Becker doesn't score in these two games, but how is that possible? The attitude shown by Becker now shows that he
We really take this matter seriously!”
"Hey, do you know? I heard that everyone in the Blue and White Munich locker room has expressed their support for Becker to win the Champions League Golden Boot and break the record..."
