Chapter 1875 There is still a chance for a comeback
When Hywell threw the football to Joaquin Vela, Hulay had just returned to defense and ran through the center circle.
He did not turn around and rush forward immediately, but stayed behind Di Kunzo, observing the situation around him while running.
Until he discovered that Camara's counterattack was running too fast. Except for him and Dikunzo, who was at the front, it was difficult for others to keep up.
If he wants to wait for more responses, Kamara must slow down and control the football.
This quick counterattack turned into a positional battle.
Yes, but not necessary.
So Hu Lai began to accelerate towards the penalty area.
Because he did not rush forward immediately, and because Kamara's breakthrough from the wing was so powerful, the attention of Ruhrlein's defensive players was attracted.
After left back Stefan Cobb was dumped, left midfielder Van Ooyen played as left back.
In this way, Ruhrlein's defensive players still felt that it was not safe. The center back captain Noah Bowman also ran to the front point to help defend to prevent Van Ooyen from being broken through. Ruhrlein's entire defense line was blocked by Kama.
Pulled through.
Another centre-back, Jose Amorim, also moved towards that side to keep the formation compact.
In the end, right back Javier Sene became a central defender.
Kamara's kick was not passed casually with his legs rounded. He was already looking up at the center before passing the ball.
In fact, when he was observing, Hu Lai was far from reaching his position, but he saw Hu Lai running up.
This is enough.
For Kamara, who has cooperated with Hulay since Leeds City, this is enough.
He passed the football.
The football drew an arc in the air, flew over a distance of about twenty meters, and landed within reach of Ruerrhein right back Sene's feet.
Then just as Kamara expected, or was determined, Hu Lai came with colorful auspicious clouds, did not waste his cross, and hit a very, very beautiful world wave!
"Hu Lai...oh this ball...this ball! It's so beautiful! It's a world-wide wave!!"
He Feng and Yan Kang shouted at the same time.
"Hu Lai! Well done! Hu Lai! 'Mr. Twice' scored twice again! Strictly speaking, this ball is not a very good opportunity, but players like Hu Lai have the ability to turn ordinary things into
Magical! Turn an opportunity that is not an opportunity into an opportunity!”
"Now the Madrid Pirates are only one goal away! The first half is not over yet, there is still a chance! Come on!"

After passing the ball, Kamara kept staring at Hulay. After seeing the football fly into the goal, he was even more excited than the scorer, Hulay. He jumped up with his arms raised and ran towards Hulay.
He reflexively wanted to celebrate with Hu Lai.
As a result, Hu Lai did not slow down after landing, but rushed forward towards the goal. He waved to him, pointed at the goal and shouted to him: "Quick! Ismail! Grab the ball!"
Only then did Kamara come to his senses, turned around and rushed towards the goal. Before Koenigs could react, he bent down to pick up the football in the goal, then turned around and ran out.
Hu Lai had just rushed over at this time. He put his arm around Kamala's shoulders, squeezed hard, and said to him: "Beautiful pass!"
"You shot beautifully, Hu! Your movements were like walking on the air! I didn't even expect you to shoot like that..."
"Mainly because I can't stop the ball, ha!" Hulay made a joke, which made Kamara even laugh.
The two of them ran side by side towards the center circle.
Di Kunzo joined in midway, high-fived Hu Lai, and said at the same time: "'phenomenon'! Hu, you are the 'phenomenon'!"
More teammates rushed up to surround Hu Lai, running with him to the center circle and back to their own half.
And just half a minute ago, they were just running from their own half to the frontcourt.
Now in this scene, it's as if they ran dozens of meters just to celebrate Hu Lai's goal...

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Leroy Kuhn kept his mouth closed, his teeth clenched beneath his calm appearance.
Although he guessed that the Madrid Pirates' offensive was very fierce, he also knew that it would be difficult for his team to prevent goals.
But no matter how much mental preparation he did before the game, when he saw Hu Lai really scoring goals again and again, he was still a little nervous.
However, this mood did not last long. He quickly got back into action, walked to the sidelines, and gestured to the Ruerrhein players on the court.
This time, he did not let the players continue to press high and attack the Madrid Pirates. Instead, he made a move to shrink the defense.
With just a few minutes left in the first half, Kuhn finally gave up his idea and chose to face the cruel reality.
The reality is that he is worried that if he continues to attack the Madrid Pirates like this, he will concede another goal before the end of the first half.
If the opponent equalizes the total score in the first half, all your plans will be in vain.
In order not to completely "waste" his hopes of promotion, Kuhn still acted pragmatically.

After Camara placed the football on the kick-off point in the center circle, other Madrid Pirates players withdrew from the center circle, returning the "stage" to the Ruhrlein players.
Madrid Pirates fans were singing and dancing in the stands, and the atmosphere at Pirates Park was very lively.
Hulay's two goals made the stadium come alive again.
Before his goal, because the two sides were back and forth and the game was very open, Pirates fans were always worried that their team would be scored by Ruhrlein.
If the point difference widens to three goals, it will be even more difficult for the Madrid Pirates to advance to the finals.
Hulay's goal was equivalent to pulling back the Madrid Pirates who were sliding into the abyss.
Everyone has a little more confidence in making a comeback at home and advancing to the finals.
Especially when they discovered that after the game started, Ruerlein did not continue the high-position press that they had persisted for forty minutes before, nor did they attack the Madrid Pirates, but instead retracted their defense...
The cheers in the stands became even louder.
It was as if they had defeated Ruerrhein.
Amid the cheers, Pirates second assistant coach Enzo Nacher said sarcastically: "Oh, I thought Ruhrlein was going to fight us to the end..."
"Kun is just brave, not stupid." After the first assistant coach Valentin finished speaking, he turned his attention to head coach Parotti, obviously waiting for Parotti to give orders.
When the first half ends with a few minutes left, shouldn't we also slow down?
On the one hand, it allows the players to recover their physical fitness, and on the other hand, it also prevents them from being attacked by Ruhrlein.
But Parotti did not make such an adjustment. Under everyone's gaze, he said: "Continue to attack. We need to rest. There are fifteen minutes after the end of the first half."
Valentin stopped looking at him after receiving the instruction, but second assistant coach Enzo Naher couldn't help but ask:
"In these few minutes...can we still score?"
"It shouldn't be possible," Parotti replied.
"Then why..."
"Because I said it before the game." Parotti turned to look at Nacher, whom he brought to Spain from Italy, "I said, don't think about anything else except scoring goals. My players
, They did exactly that. They focused on scoring goals. You see, after Hu scored two goals, he didn’t even celebrate. So how could I be the first to set a bad example now? Let them do other things besides scoring goals.
Other things besides?"
Nahel, who was looking directly at Parotti, realized that he had just asked a very stupid question, and he understood why Parotti did what he did.
It's to give the players some kind of psychological hint.
Let them not have their minds wavered and have other thoughts that are not conducive to scoring goals.
If Parotti chooses to slow down the tempo at this time, recycle the defense, and deal with Ruerrhein until the end of the first half.
From a tactical perspective, I can't find anything wrong with this choice.
But from the players' point of view, will this adjustment make them have any doubts about what their head coach said - didn't they agree to only consider offense?
When they need to work hard in the second half, will the players think of what happened in the first half and hesitate?
No wonder Parotti is the head coach, he is an assistant coach, or the second assistant coach...
The angles and starting points for considering the problem are completely different.
Nahel felt that he had to learn from his mentor.
※※※
Kuhn's choice was correct. Because after he asked the team to recover their defense, the Madrid Pirates' offensive was still very fierce, as if they wanted to tie the total score in the first half.
With a more pragmatic choice, Ruhrlein withstood the final minutes of the first half as Madrid Pirates continued their fierce offensive.
"The first half is over! The Madrid Pirates temporarily lead Ruerrhein 2:1 at home, but the total score is still 2:3 behind! But there is only one goal! There is only one goal, and there are forty-five minutes left in the game! They
There is a real chance to make a comeback at home!”

PS, what, the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador was an accident.
But there won’t be any surprises in the match between England and Iran, right?
Even though England is often ridiculed as the "King of Terribles", in all fairness this team is very strong.
Iran is considered top-notch in Asia, but everyone should have seen the gap between Asian football and world football through the opening game.
So I really can't think of the possibility of England losing to Iran. However, considering England's urination, I am still more cautious. I think England should beat Iran by one goal.
The second game between the Netherlands and Senegal was much simpler.
Senegal's number one star Mane is injured and the Netherlands is stronger overall and should win. But it is better to be cautious and win with one goal.
In the third game between the United States and Wales, I think the two teams should have drawn.
As for whether what I said is right, let us wait and see!
