After Hu Lai ran onto the court, countless Chinese fans in front of the TV were in high spirits.
To be honest, the game between Leeds City and Burley was intense, but not exciting. Because most of the time the game was interrupted by physical confrontations between the two sides, and there was basically no smooth attack.
Such a game may be exciting for fans of both teams, but for the majority of neutral fans, it is simply ugly.
There are no wonderful dribbles, no beautiful shots, no amazing offensive and defensive duels, and no smooth teamwork... All the elements that a wonderful game should have are missing.
In addition, the weather for today's game was not good, and the sky that had been gloomy before the game finally started to rain during the game. After repeated trampling, the football field almost turned into a rotten vegetable field, making it difficult for the foot to control the ball and
It became very difficult to advance the ground ball, and every player's jersey was covered in mud.
The embarrassing image of the players and the frequently interrupted game rhythm make the Chinese fans watching the game in front of the TV as if they are eating chicken ribs, tasteless and a pity to discard - it doesn't look good, but if you don't watch it,
And I always think about what if Hu Lai comes on as a substitute, wouldn't I miss it?
After watching the 60-minute game in such a dilemma, now all Chinese fans can finally stop being in a dilemma.
Hulai Chong!

Hu Lai had just five minutes on the field when he was knocked to the ground by the opponent's defender in a penalty area duel.
Seeing him fall into the muddy water, Leeds City players raised their arms and complained to the referee about the foul by the opponent's defender.
He Feng also shouted: "Is this a penalty kick?!"
But the referee shook his head and hooked his hand to signal Hu Lai to get up.
Burley center back William Barton, who knocked over Hulay, glanced down and snorted slightly sarcastically: "Don't wait to get up, you can't get a penalty kick, kid."
Hu Lai, who was about to get up, heard this and looked up at him, and then said in English: "You misunderstood, brother. I didn't intend to cheat for a penalty kick. After all, I didn't need a penalty kick to score in your goal."
Barton's face fell, and he stared at Hu Lai fiercely.
Hu Lai shrugged, turned around and ran away, leaving him with a back covered in mud.
※※※
“Williams’ cross, Hu Lai——! Ah!”
With He Feng's roar, Hu Lai pushed the football over the bottom line.
"After Hu Lai came on the field, he was closely defended by the opponent's No. 5 center back Button. The header just now was because he was squeezed by the opponent and could not complete the action of shaking his head..."
After Patton completed his defense against Hu Lai, he smiled at the boy who had just provoked him: "Hey, thank you for your rescue."
He wanted to ridicule Hu Lai. It would be better if he could anger the other person and make him lose his mind.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai turned around and asked him seriously: "How are you going to thank me? Treat me to a meal or give me money?"
After leaving Barton stunned, he said disgustedly: "Don't just talk with your mouth. There is no sincerity! If you have the ability, don't follow me all the time!"
Hearing what Hu Lai said, Barton reacted and smiled even more happily: "What? Are you scared? Do you want to beg for mercy now? It's too late, Asian boy!"
The scene of two people bickering in the penalty area was naturally seen by people watching the game broadcast.
"Hu Lai... seemed to be chatting with Barton. I don't know what the two of them were talking about. They seemed quite happy?" He Feng was a little confused and not sure.
Yan Kang didn't know the content of the chat, but he couldn't say nothing, so he had to focus on Hu Lai's language skills: "By the way, Hu Lai seems to speak English very well. I think this is probably why he can integrate so quickly.
The reason for the team... After all, there is no language barrier, which makes it easier for him to communicate with his teammates and better understand the coach's tactical intentions..."
But He Feng was still very curious about what Hu Lai said. Both players covered their mouths and couldn't even read their lip movements, so he could only suppress his curiosity in his heart.
Tengfei Video owns the online broadcast rights of the Premier League. The commentator Shen Lang is not as reserved as He Feng. He directly talked about cross talk in the commentary: "Hu Lai must have asked Button, 'Have you eaten?', and then Button replied to him
"Eat fried noodles with soybean paste," Hu Lai said. "Oh, noodles with soybean paste are very particular..."
The barrage is full of 666.
Yan Yan, who was watching the game live at home, pointed at the screen and said to his parents: "This central defender is going to be unlucky!"
“You know what?” The mother rolled her eyes at him.
The son put his hands on his hips with great pride and shook his head: "I knew it!"
※※※
Williams saw that Hu Lai was being targeted by the opponent's No. 5 center back, so he simply fired a cold arrow from outside the penalty area.
The quality of this long-range shot is quite high.
The football moves forward close to the turf and bounces on the uneven and bumpy turf, making it more difficult for the goalkeeper to save.
Burley's goalkeeper made a quality save. He dived sideways and pushed the ball over the line with his fingertips.
"Williams! What a pity! In the 75th minute of the game, Leeds City got a corner kick..."
In the broadcast, Burley's players returned to defend the penalty area, and Leeds City's central defenders Luke Davis and Teddy Bradford, including the tall and powerful left back Farrak Quinn, were all together.
Run up, stand in the penalty area, and prepare for a corner kick.
Among them, Leeds City's two tallest players, the 1.92-meter-tall center captain Lorenzo Esposito and the 1.90-meter-tall center back Teddy Bradford, stood at the front.
In Burley's little penalty area.
Facing these two people, Burley's defenders should not be negligent. Except for the goalkeeper, all three Burley players are in the small penalty area, defending three against two. It cannot be said that they do not take it lightly.
In addition, there are two other Burley players standing just outside the small penalty area to protect the center. This is to prevent Leeds City players from suddenly checking in from behind and attacking the center.
After all, Leeds City still had three players behind them. Hu Lai, Luke Davis and Falek Quinn stood in the area between the penalty point and the penalty area line, and were beaten by three Leeds City players respectively.
Three players stay one-on-one.
Quinn noticed Hulay between himself and Davis, and he snorted: "You should be outside the penalty area, not here."
He felt that Hu Lai was not strong in physical confrontation and was of little use when fighting for corner kicks in the penalty area.
Hu Lai smiled at him: "I can protect you here, Farek."
“You’re covering me?” Quinn laughed, thinking this kid was talking nonsense.
“Yes, I’ll help you create opportunities.” Hu Lai nodded seriously.
“How do you cover that?” Quinn snorted.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hu Lai suddenly raise his arm and hook his hand towards the door...
※※※
Not counting the Burley goalkeeper, there are currently eight Burley players defending in the penalty area - in addition to the seven mentioned above, there is also a Burley player in the corner of the penalty area. He is guarding against possible
long shot.
On Leeds City’s side, five players entered the penalty area, two at the front and three at the back.
William Barton withstood Leeds City center back Teddy Bradford. At the same time, he noticed that Hulay was not at the front, so he looked at Hulay hiding behind and snorted.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Hu Lai hooking his hand in the distance:
Come here!
Barton was stunned. He didn't understand why Hu Lai did this... I'm here to defend your team's central defender, go over there and do it!
Seeing that he didn't come over, Hu Lai spread his hands towards Barton, shrugged his shoulders and curled his lips, fully demonstrating his disdain for this coward who didn't dare to defend himself.
Barton really didn’t expect that this Chinese player could be so mean - am I a coward? Damn... if you have the ability, come over here!
He grinned at Hu Lai.
Lancashire Burley captain Reese Hutchinson noticed something strange about his teammates, and he shouted: "William! Where are you looking? Keep an eye on your own people!"
He pointed his finger at crooked Teddy Bradford.
Barton had no choice but to glare hard at Hulay one last time, then withdrew his gaze and blocked the Leeds City center back.
※※※
“What are you doing?” Quinn asked Hu Lai with a dark face.
"I'm covering you. You see, I have angered the opponent's defender. When the corner kick comes out, he will definitely come straight to me, and when the time comes, you will get an opening in front of the goal! Come on, Farek,
Then you will be the hero who equalizes the score!"
Quinn looked at the serious Hu Lai and couldn't tell whether this guy was serious or just talking nonsense...
Before he had time to delve further into this issue, he heard a crisp whistle!
※※※
Peter Williams passed the ball to midfielder Robert Canroy who was standing next to the corner flag to meet him.
Then he ran back, seemingly trying to get around Canroy and receive Canroy's pass. After all, there was a huge space over there.
At the same time as Canroy received the ball, the Burley player who came up to defend suddenly realized that the situation was not good, because now in this area, he suddenly became an unfavorable situation facing two Leeds City players alone.
He quickly turned around and stretched out his hand to call on his teammates who were originally defending in the corner of the penalty area to come up and help him. At this moment, Williams suddenly changed his line and circled back to the baseline from behind Canroy, intending to attack the opponent's player.
Go straight into the restricted area!
At the same time Canroy passed the ball in front of Williams' run.
Burley's defensive player now didn't have to worry about whether to go up to block Canroy or drop back to defend Williams. He also didn't have time to wait for his teammates to come up to help him. He turned around and chased Williams directly.
At the same time, the three Leeds City players who were standing in the penalty area started to take action at the same time.
Davis, who was originally at the back point, accelerated and went straight forward, heading straight for the back point of Burley's small penalty area.
Quinn in front also went straight into the goal.
The movement of both of them simultaneously led the Burley players who were originally marking them to retreat together.
At the same time, Lorenzo and Bradford pushed hard towards the goal, firmly attracting all the Burley defensive players inside and outside the small penalty area.
What about Hu Lai?
He did not run towards the goal, but turned around and ran directly outside the penalty area!
This hit the Burley player who was defending him by surprise - he was stunned on the spot, not understanding what Hu Lai was going to do?
Then he saw Charlie Porter, who was outside the penalty area, speeding into the penalty area and running towards an unguarded space.
This Burley player was glad that he had not followed Hu Lai out immediately, otherwise the penalty area would have been empty now! He immediately didn't care about Hu Lai and ran directly towards Porter who was behind him.
Amid the huge boos from the Burley fans, Williams broke into Burley's penalty area and approached the baseline with the ball. After further pulling all Burley's defensive players over, he passed the ball!
There was no pass to captain Lorenzo who was in the small penalty area to meet him, nor was he to pass the football to his teammates who were advancing forward from behind.
But sweep it to Charlie Potter who inserted into the penalty area!
“Inverted triangle pass!”
Charlie Potter watched the football rolling over and raised his right foot. He was going to shoot!
At this moment, he heard a shout from behind him: "Charlie!!"
By some strange coincidence, Porter's feet were swung up, but they didn't fall down! It was as if the pause button had been pressed suddenly. He froze in place while maintaining the shooting posture, letting the football pass under his crotch.
, continue to roll behind you!
Behind him, Hu Lai, who was about to run out of the penalty area, turned back and came back again!
There was no Burley defensive player around him at this time - the Burley player who was originally defending him was attracted by Charlie Potter's movement!
"Hu Lai! Opportunity——!" He Feng shouted excitedly.
Facing the rolling football, Hu Lai raised his right leg, using the same shooting action as Charlie Potter just now, but this time he did not suddenly stop shooting, but kicked the football firmly!
The football was drawn into an arc, bypassing the crowd in front of the door, and also bypassing the fingers of the Burley goalkeeper!
Crash into the net!
"Oh oh oh oh! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!" Sky TV commentator Matthew Cox drawled and shouted, "His second Premier League game, second Premier League goal! He equalized the score for Leeds City
!”
The noisy stadium suddenly became a little quieter, and the boos in the sky became much quieter.
Burley fans didn’t expect that the goal would happen like this...
After scoring the goal, Hulay turned around and ran towards the corner flag area, and did his signature celebration for the second time.
When he fell in front of the camera, the number and name on his back happened to be displayed on the live TV screen.
No. 14
Hulai!
