When the game started, everyone who watched the game realized that Valentia was not just playing tricks before the game, they really carefully studied how to deal with Hulay.
Their defense against Hu Lai was very tight.
For this reason, they would rather sacrifice their defensive efforts against other Pirates players.
So Madrid Pirates took the lead in the first thirteen minutes.
It was not Hu Lai who scored the goal, but it was Hu Lai who used his running position to create space for his teammates.
In the end it was Kamara who scored the goal.
"...Actually, there is no suspense about the outcome of this game. The only suspense is whether Hu Lai can score in this game..."
When the Madrid Pirates players celebrated taking the lead, CCTV commentator He Feng said this.
"It's simply harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself!"
Yao Yuling heard Peng Hao's cousin curse.
She also fully agreed.
But this is the status quo.
For Valentia, losing to Madrid Pirates in an away game is a very high probability, so they didn't even think about how to beat their opponent away from home.
Since you have to lose anyway, how is it in Valentia's best interest to lose?
Of course, don't let Hu Lai set a new record on himself.
Look at Real Catajon, they lost 0:1 at home to Madrid Pirates last season.
If you put it in normal times, it would be an ordinary game. If you lose, you lose. It’s no big deal.
But it happened that Hulay scored a goal in that game. It was his 50th goal in the league last season, breaking the 49 goals of former England legendary striker George Sforin in a single season in the five major European leagues.
Goal record.
Therefore, the game that Royal Caterhorn lost was mentioned repeatedly by people. Everyone was not laughing at Royal Caterhorn. They just praised Hu Lai's magical performance, but the name of Royal Caterhorn was mentioned every time.
To be honest, being the backdrop for the birth of a legendary record is not a pleasant feeling at all.
Perhaps it is for this reason that when the two sides met again this season, the entire Royal Caterhorn team was as good as chicken blood, and everyone performed very well.
Not only did they successfully silence Hulay, they also defeated Madrid Pirates.
This shows how harmful it is to have Hu Lai set a record on himself...
Now that he has learned from the past, Valentia certainly does not want to follow in the footsteps of Royal Catharion.
"Hey, when do you think Brother Hu will score?" Peng Hao's cousin asked.
This opened up everyone's conversation again.
Because the game has been going on for fifteen minutes, some people guessed twenty minutes, some people guessed before the end of the first half, and some people guessed the winner.
Peng Hao said: "Isn't that too conservative? Why can't it be within five minutes?"
Everyone laughed: "Haohao, you are deliberately different!"
Someone also asked Yao Yuling: "Xiao Yao (Lingling), what do you think? Do you think your boyfriend is right?"
All eyes turned to Yao Yuling.
Including the grandparents next to her, they also looked at her with smiles.
Although Yao Yuling felt that her boyfriend was a little too confident, judging from Valentia's defensive strength against Hulay in the first ten minutes, it was difficult to score in a short period of time.
But Yao Yuling also knows that in such public view, she has to "tie up" for her boyfriend no matter what (Note 1). Because this often represents a man's face.
So she smiled and said, "I also think it should be within five minutes."
When everyone heard this, they knew that she was defending her boyfriend, so they laughed and let it go.
Everyone happily turned their attention to the TV screen and continued to watch the game.

In the 17th minute of the game, Hu Lai got another scoring opportunity.
At that time, Vukovich sent a through ball, he ran diagonally, ran into the space, received the ball, half-turned and shot without stopping the ball!
The football goes straight to the far corner!
Valentia's goalkeeper Ruben Salva fell to the ground and dived sideways, but it was too late and he failed to touch the ball!
Then, amid huge cheers, the football... slid out and missed the baseline!
The cheers instantly turned into sighs of regret.
"Ouch! Hu Lai's shot is too angular!"
The commentator also shouted regretfully.
Although everyone felt a pity that Hu Lai didn't score the goal.
But Hu Lai himself didn't seem to care very much. Of course he put his head in his hands and looked regretful, but then he started laughing again.
He didn't score, but he made Valentia's players nervous.
Goalkeeper Salva stood up and pointed at Hulay and shouted to his teammates: "Visa, hey! Hey! Visa!"
He was reminding his teammate Visa Martel not to give Hulay such a chance.
It was indeed a mistake that Valentia made in defense just now - Martel did not concentrate on the whole process when defending Hulay, and lost Hulay, allowing him to penetrate into the space and receive the ball.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't have given Hu Lai such a large space to shoot - and that's exactly what they did in the first fifteen minutes of the game.
"... So it turns out that it is very difficult to completely defend Hu Lai. Less than twenty minutes into the game, Valentia's defense made a mistake... What happened next
They will definitely make mistakes during the game!"
He Feng told the Chinese fans in front of the TV with a confident tone: Don't panic.
When Peng Hao's uncle heard what He Feng said, he said to Peng Hao: "Haohao, look, He Feng has said so, but I'm afraid there will be a wait for Valentia to make a mistake. It will definitely happen within five minutes."
It’s no longer possible…”
Peng Hao laughed twice and did not argue.
Valentia's defense just made a mistake, and it is indeed impossible to expect them to make another mistake in a short period of time.
The reason why he said within five minutes before was because no one else chose this option.
For such a small bet, winning or losing doesn't matter.
Anyway, as long as Hu Lai scores the goal in the end, there will be no losers, everyone will win.
Now he has matured a lot and will no longer fight his uncle in front of him.

The Madrid Pirates attacked again. This time Hulay did not wait in the middle, but rarely pulled to the right.
Then he raised his hand for the ball.
Vukovich quickly moved the ball over.
Hu Lai received the ball on the wing.
For a moment, Valentia's left back Abila Cubilla was a little confused, wondering if he should come up to guard Hulay.
Especially at the same time, Madrid Pirates' right back Irazusta was moving forward at high speed, intending to get behind Hulay.
Cubilla obviously thought that Julay would pass the football to Irazusta. After all, Julay rarely dribbled the ball to start an attack, let alone dribbling the ball from the wing.
So when Irazusta passed Hulay, Cuvelia followed and retreated.
At this moment, Hu Lai stepped forward with the football and dribbled the ball towards the penalty area!
This caught all the Valentia defenders off guard. As Irazusta advanced at high speed, Valentia's defenders all retreated collectively, preparing to position themselves in front of the goal to defend against Irazusta.
Star's cross from the wing.
As a result, Hu Lai suddenly cut inside, and their previous retreat created space for Hu Lai...
So everyone came back one after another.
At this moment, Hu Lai passed the ball.
He passed the football to Kamara who ran diagonally in the middle.
Valentia's defenders had just stepped forward when they saw Hulay passing the ball to Camara.
Some people pounced firmly on Hulay, while others were worried that Hulay would assist Kamara to score - not everyone can bear to lose two goals in a short period of time.
As a result, Valentia's defense line, which had been moving uniformly, instantly turned into a jagged line - some rushed forward, while others trailed behind.
Kamara, who was running diagonally, didn't catch the ball. He directly knocked back the ball passed by Hu Lai with his heel during the movement!
The Valentia defender came back and missed the ball.
But Visa Martel rushed towards Hulay resolutely - he didn't care whether Kamara would score twice, he just wanted to follow Hulay.
His mission in this game is just one: to prevent Hu Lai from scoring.
He almost made a mistake just now, and he must not make another mistake this time!
And the facts prove that he did the right thing this time!
Because after passing the ball, Hu Lai did not stay where he was, but continued to run laterally. This is a posture to catch the ball!
Sure enough, the football was passed back again!
Visa Martel stepped forward, trying to interfere with Hulay's ball.
But Hu Lai didn't want to take the ball at all. He raised his left leg and rubbed the ball passed by Kamara directly towards the goal!
Shooting near the top of the free throw arc in the penalty area!
The football drew an arc, just around Martel's outstretched foot, and headed towards the goal behind him!
When Martel turned his head, he only saw the figure of goalkeeper teammate Reuven Salva rising into the air, and...the football in the goal behind him!
At 18 minutes and 32 seconds of game time, Hu Lai scored his 83rd goal in 2029!
