Leeds City took the lead in the first ten seconds, which really surprised everyone.
Although everyone can guess that Leeds City want to take the opponent by surprise, this does not mean that their tactics will definitely be successful.
Who would have thought that... it would actually happen?
The first attack after kick-off, four passes, and within ten seconds, the football was sent into Widgston's goal.
People always talk about "a wonderful start", but when a truly wonderful start is placed in front of everyone, everyone feels incredible.
How can this be?
how did you do that?!
Oh, God……
Many people exclaimed in their hearts.
Even the DJ on the live broadcast was a little slow in responding and did not send out his "soul question" immediately.
Not to mention the Wiggerston fans who traveled with the team to the away game, they are still messy in the wind at this moment, so they can score goals? How funny! What are our players doing, are they all scared?!
I don’t know if the Widgston players were frightened, but the Widgston fans were definitely frightened. They held their heads in their hands and stared blankly into the stadium.
The Leeds City players had finished celebrating and returned to their own half. At this time, the DJ's three questions rang out on the radio: "Who is it? Who is it? Who scored the goal?!"
“HUUUUUU!!!”
Although Hu Lai did not make his signature celebration this time, the fans who came to their senses still responded to the live broadcast with this uniform roar.
Hearing the roar, Hu Lai, who was among his teammates, raised his arm and waved to the stands to greet the fans.

“Ahaha!” Tony Clark patted the assistant coach Randall next to him, “It actually worked!”
Landhir complained: "So you don't know what you're doing?!"
"Who can guarantee that every tactic will be successful?" Clark laughed and didn't care about this problem. "The important thing is that we really scored a goal! We took the lead in the first ten seconds. Is there any better start than this? Sam
, let me tell you, when you think Hu is acting out of imagination, it means that our opponents must not have expected that we would do this, so this unexpected approach is more likely to achieve miraculous results!"
Faced with the hard facts, Sam Randill had nothing to say.
He shook his head, and then laughed: "I really...can't figure out this Chinese boy..."
"Then I recommend you to read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, which may help you understand a genius like Hu!" Clark took the opportunity to promote the "Ancient Eastern Wisdom" book he was studying recently. "In fact, to sum up everything Hu has done,
There is a sentence in that book: 'Attack the enemy when he is unprepared and catch him by surprise'."
Clark pronounced this sentence in Chinese pronunciation. He thought that his image must have become mysterious and profound in Randhir's eyes.
"It means to attack where the opponent is not prepared and to surprise the opponent. You see, isn't this the tactic? Roger Biller must not have expected that we would do this, so he didn't give himself any warning before the game.
The players told us how to defend our attack. When our men rushed forward in a swarm, Widgerston's formation was like a fence that encountered floods. It collapsed as soon as it rushed forward and was completely defeated!"
※※※
Roger Biller indeed had no idea that few people in their right mind would have imagined that Leeds City would arrange such a tactic.
Of course he didn’t think this was a carefully planned conspiracy by Leeds City. He just thought it was Leeds City’s good luck and the whole team was just unlucky.
That’s why he became particularly angry after conceding the ball. Isn’t it natural that even opponents can score goals despite their bad luck?! We have made so many efforts before the game, including scouting reports and video analysis for Leeds City, which are targeted.
The training arrangements, the tactics that he racked his brains to design... all of these were turned into nothing just because the opponent got lucky. Who can bear this?!
At this time, Biller, who had white hair and wore dark sportswear, was furious, complaining to his assistant coach: "Damn it! A long pass from the backcourt can accurately find their tallest central defender.
, you can find the forward winger with just one header... How is it such a coincidence? How is it so accurate?! I bet if Leeds City uses this tactic again, they won't be able to score!"
Biller is right, this goal actually involves a lot of luck. If Leeds City is allowed to repeat it a few times, the result may be worse each time.
But this is why Biller was angry: It’s the first time, you scored on the first try! This is such unreasonable luck!
As the head coach of the team, he has done so much preparation work before the game. He can accept that his team's skills are not as good as others, and he can also accept mistakes and conceding goals due to his own negligence, but he just cannot accept the opponent's luck.
Anyway, he absolutely does not believe that Leeds City's tactics have any complicated core and require repeated and hard training.
To be honest, when the Leeds City players rushed forward in a swarm, the old coach almost thought he had traveled back to the English football world at the beginning of the last century.
The popular offensive tactic at that time was for the passer to kick the football forward, and then a group of people chased the football, relying on the numerical advantage created in the frontcourt to advance into the opponent's penalty area, and finally score a goal.
This tactic has long been eliminated by modern football, but it actually works for our own team. This is simply ridiculous!
Why don't you Leeds City let me play with the Renaissance?!
It’s simply too deceiving!
Old coach Roger Buehler felt greatly insulted...
A face turned red.

Leeds City players finally ran back to their own half, and they didn’t spend as long celebrating the goal as they did...
Widgeston's players have already taken their positions. Forward John Joe is standing in the center circle with a football under his feet, waiting for the kick-off.
Looking at Hu Lai walking through the center circle and passing him, I remembered what Hu Lai said to me two minutes ago.
At that time, Hulay advised them not to move after the kick-off in Leeds City, because they would be back for the kick-off right away anyway, so there was no need to waste energy running around.
After he said this, many Widgston players laughed at him, and forward John Joe was among them.
Now he was staring at the smiling Hu Lai, but he couldn't smile at all.
Because they are really back to kick off!
At first I thought Leeds City were clowns, but now I know the clowns are actually them...
But the game has just begun. Although you scored the ball first, we still have ninety minutes to counterattack!
John Joe clenched his fists and stared at Hu Lai's figure.
Many people would find it frustrating to concede a goal at the start of the game, but John Joe is able to see the positive side from negative things.
This will not dampen our morale, on the contrary, Leeds City's humiliating way of scoring will definitely arouse our fighting spirit. So next... the game has just begun, Leeds City!
Just when John Joe was thinking this, he heard singing suddenly coming from the direction of the north grandstand behind him.
※※※
When the Leeds City players ran back to their own half, two minutes had passed since the goal. Everyone's initial enthusiasm gradually subsided. The cheers of the Leeds City fans in the stands stopped for a while, and everyone was waiting for the kick-off to resume.
The Flanders Stadium was much quieter than before.
So the singing voice became particularly prominent and clear in such an environment.
“What a GOAL?” (Who scored such a beautiful goal?)
It was as if someone was asking loudly.
Then more people repeated the question loudly:
“??”(Who? Who? Who is who? Who is who?)
“HULAI’s what a GOAL!” (Such a beautiful ball was scored by Hu Lai!)
Someone answered the question loudly, and then more people began to shout:
“!!”(It’s Hu! Hu! Hu Huhu!)
(Note 1)
When the singing started, many people didn’t care, but when they heard this, they almost all laughed.
This song is very familiar to them. It is a funny song in itself. Its original name is " " (Who let the dog go?). From the title of the song, you can know that this is not a serious song. The "!" in the song is actually imitating a dog.
The cry came.
Unexpectedly, someone adapted this song into a cheering song for Hu Lai. This is really... So is Hu Lai a dog?
Others are just shutting the door and letting the dogs out, but Leeds City is shutting the door and letting the dogs out?
Even the Wiggerston fans who had just lost the ball and were in a low mood couldn't help laughing when they heard this song.
Laughter spread in the stands, and spread to the court, as well as the bench and coaching bench beside the court.
When they heard the song that sounded like a barking dog, they couldn't help but grin.
Charlie Potter also winked at Hu Lai and motioned for him to listen to the song.
The laughter became louder and louder, becoming more and more obvious, almost drowning out the singing.
At this time, the members of the "White Rose" in the north stand heard the roar of laughter and knew that their strange song was being laughed at mercilessly.
but……
We’ve all been laughed at anyway, that’s it anyway, so let’s just sing louder!
David If this is what you want to "shock the whole house", then we really "shocked the fucking house"!
The fans of the "White Rose" had the idea of "breaking the can, breaking it", and continued to repeat these lyrics loudly in the stands with their necks stretched out.
“What a GOAL?”
“??”
“HULAI’s what a GOAL!”
ˆ “!!”
The devilishly brainwashing lyrics and melody echoed repeatedly on the court, and some people even started shouting "!!" along with them...
※※※
Note: "This song has a profound impact on this book, because the protagonist's name comes from the empty-eared name of the song "Hu Lai's Left Hand".
So after giving the protagonist this name, I had already decided to use this song as Hu Lai’s character’s cheering song.
The style is also highly consistent with Hu Lai’s own characteristics. It can be said to be a match made in heaven!
Hulai is a real dog after all...
However, because I am an English idiot myself, in order to make up the homophones of the original lyrics, I asked some readers in the group for advice, and finally came up with this version. Maybe the grammar or interpretation is not completely consistent with the Chinese translation, but
That’s what it means, as long as everyone can understand it.
