Juan Ramirez, the captain of Madrid Pirates, stood in the locker room wearing casual clothes and mobilized everyone before the war:
"I'm sorry that I can't play, but I still believe that you all can take me to the finals. I believe in you, and you have never let me down. Facts can prove all this..."
Listening to the captain's words, Farias glanced at Tonini secretly.
Tonini started today's game, but he was not replaced by himself, he was replaced by the captain.
A full midfielder, a winger, but he plays as a defensive midfielder in the game...
It was still a temporary decision.
Although the captain says he trusts his teammates, can he really rest assured?
Or is it just lip service, just words to encourage teammates?
He turned his attention to other teammates.
He found that after hearing the captain's words, most of his teammates did not show any doubtful expressions.
They didn't doubt that they couldn't do it, and they didn't doubt that the captain was just encouraging them.
"Again, he was injured before the semi-finals, and he was not optimistic about the outside world... It sounds familiar, which is a good sign. I am now more confident in the goal Hu said!"
Not only did they have no doubts, they even burst into laughter when they heard the captain's words.

"Farias is an important breaking point in the Madrid Pirates' attack, which is why despite so many controversies, Parotti still insists on letting Farias start. Because he also knows that the current team
Pirates of Madrid need Farias."
In the dressing room of the home team Vesuvius, Vesuvius head coach Tommaso Renzetti said to his teammates.
"But in this game, our defensive focus still has to fall on their No. 14 Hu. No matter how good Farias is, in the end the only one who can threaten our goal is Hu. So facing Farias
When Si dribbles the ball, just surround him, don't give him space, and don't take a shot easily. Just interfere when he shoots. The key is to be stupid..."
Wang Guangwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he listened to his head coach mentioning Farias frequently, but in the end he always focused on nonsense.
It is true that people leave their names when they pass by, and geese leave their voices when they pass by.
I think when Hu Lai played against Vesuvius for the first time, the team didn't pay much attention to him.
Now Hu Lai has become an unavoidable name.
Although Farias was in charge of traffic during this period, professionals all know who is the real focus.
"In addition, because Ramirez was injured, they temporarily sent Tonini as a defensive midfielder. This is a big flaw in their lineup, and it is also an opportunity for us. We must attack Tonini in the midfield and frontcourt! No matter what
No matter where Toni gets the ball, he must immediately pounce on him and force him to make mistakes! Then use this as a breakthrough to pose a threat to Madrid Pirates' goal!"

When Hu Lai walked into the players' tunnel, he immediately saw Wang Guangwei who was already waiting to play.
So he went up and took the initiative to greet Wang Guangwei: "Hey, Lao Wang, are you guarding me today?"
Wang Guangwei originally wanted to tell the truth, but he suddenly thought that he was facing a bully, so what should he do honestly?
So he nodded along with Hu Lai's words: "Ah, yes, I am responsible for keeping an eye on you."
Hu Lai didn't have any doubts and just spread his hands: "No need, it's really not necessary. Your opponent should be Farias. That kid scored the best goal in the Champions League this season in the last Champions League game.
…”
"Haha, what about his performance in the league?" Wang Guangwei exposed his little thinking.
"Isn't this to save energy for the Champions League? How normal."
"I believe you are a ghost, you are doing this nonsense!"
Hu Lai laughed, and then said to Wang Guangwei: "I'm serious, you really have to pay special attention to Farias, otherwise you will suffer a big loss. Don't blame me for not reminding you then, Lao Wang. I just saw it.
We only revealed this because we have known each other for many years..."
Wang Guangwei sneered in his heart.
He is very aware of Hu Lai's little tricks.
Do you think you can make me believe it with your bad mouth?
Maybe others are afraid of your mouth, but I am not!
Hu Lai's mouth seemed to open up, and he was so famous in European football that many defensive players' blood pressure soared and their palms became sweaty when they met Hu Lai and came to talk to him on the court.
But Wang Guangwei was very unsettled.
This is not because his psychological quality is great - of course, as the captain of the Chinese team, Wang Guangwei's psychological quality is indeed very good - but because Wang Guangwei should be the first player in the world to be attacked by Hu Lai's "crosstalk football".
The "first-generation machine" has stronger immunity.
But that's not the main reason. The most important reason is that he has not only experienced Hu Lai's rhetorical skills, but also the other party's hands-on skills...
Now that Hu Lai is playing football, no matter how talkative he is, he rarely takes action, right?
No, I won't take action at all.
As for him, Wang Guangwei, his hair was messed up by random hands during the game!
Compared with using hands and feet, the power of words is naturally not enough for Wang Guangwei.
Now those players who have played against Hu Lai talk at length in interviews about the psychological damage Hu Lai's verbal attacks have caused to them, which makes Wang Guangwei sneer at them - every one of them behaves like a flower in a greenhouse.
In Wang Guangwei's view, Hu Lai, who is just talking about things now, can be regarded as "harmless to humans and animals".

Seeing Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei in the same frame, He Feng said with emotion: "This is really a historic moment - because this game is actually the first time in their careers that Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei have been opponents in an official game!
"The last time they played against each other in a game was back when they were in middle school, and that was the only time they played against each other. Doesn't it sound incredible? In fact, when we first found out this information, we were also surprised. It was nonsense.
His career officially started at Anton Flash Star, and Wang Guangwei was also at Anton Flash Star. At that time, the two were teammates.
"When Hu Lai left Anton Shining Star and transferred to Leeds City, the two separated. Later Wang Guangwei also went to Europe and played for Eldrea. However, Eldrea's strength was limited and he did not participate in the European Cup.
Therefore, Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai have never met. Four years ago, Wang Guangwei transferred from Eldrea to Vesuvius and was finally able to participate in the European war, but he failed to meet Hu Lai in the Champions League... until today.
, it’s the first time they appear in the same frame as opponents. Destiny... it’s really wonderful!”
After talking about the situation of the match between Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei, He Feng introduced other aspects of this game to the audience in front of the TV.
"Before this game, Madrid Pirates captain Ramirez strained a muscle and was unable to play. So Parotti made some adjustments to the starting lineup for this game. Farias, whose performance before the game was controversial
Still appearing in the starting lineup, Ramirez's replacement is Brazilian winger Toni. He will sit in the middle of this game. This is a very bold adjustment, but it is also very helpless. After all, Toni usually plays
The one I am most used to is the left wing. The requirements for wing players and center players are completely different..."
As he said this, close-ups of Farias and Tonini appeared on the television broadcast.
These two rivals for the same position have never appeared on the court at the same time before, and now they are in the same frame.
"What happened to Madrid Pirates recently is all bad news. On the other hand, Vesuvius is far ahead in the league. They are waiting for work in the Champions League and are still playing at home. It will be difficult for Madrid Pirates to win this game. Realistically, as long as they can
Holding a draw in an away game is considered a victory. But judging from Parotti's lineup arrangement, he did not choose to be conservative. After all, letting Tonini start, I must still place hope on Tonini's offensive ability..."
Yan Kang comforted the Chinese fans in front of the TV: "Fortunately, we have three Chinese players who have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. No matter who loses or wins in this game, there will be a Chinese player in the final..."
Hearing this, Xie Lan snorted.
She was not comforted at all, and she did not need such comfort.

After the players from both sides had gathered in the tunnel, the caddies also took their places.
The referee team finally came to the right spot.
The referee called on the players from both sides to follow, and then under the call of the Champions League theme song, he led the players and ball boys from both sides out of the tunnel.
When passing through the Champions League arch, the referee picked up the match ball that was placed on the table, and the audience burst into cheers.
"Players from both sides are on stage! The first leg of the 2033-2034 Champions League semi-finals is about to begin! I hope the two teams will give us a wonderful game!"
