Two hundred and twentieth chapters do not admit defeat
"Hewel! The Belgian national goalkeeper made a key save. He blocked Melli's shot!"
"The game has reached the 77th minute, and the time left for the Kings is getting less and less. Although their offensive is very fierce, the Pirates still managed to withstand it!"
"Not only did they withstand it, the pirates were even able to launch a counterattack..."
"Kyrie received a long pass from the backcourt in the frontcourt. He stopped the football firmly and then looked for Hulay! Hulay! Oh! Beautiful! Spanish national goalkeeper Baccar saved the football!"
"Despite Peralta's personal interference, Hulay still grabbed the spot and completed the shot! Bakker made an amazing save!"
"Including injury time, there are about sixteen minutes left in the game. The Madrid Pirates now have the ability to counterattack, but this is not a bad thing for the Kings. Because if the Pirates never shrink, then even if the Kings want
It will also become very difficult to score goals. But if they can score, there may be space behind them..."
"But for the Pirates, they can't just put a bus in front of the goal and not attack...The Pirates are not the kind of team that is particularly good at setting up a bus. It is also difficult for them to defend against the fierce attack of the Kings.
Finally. Although it is said that even if a goal is scored, you will not be eliminated directly. However, considering the morale growth of both sides, conceding the ball at this time is very fatal. There are enough lessons learned from this experience, and I don’t need to list them for you...
…”
…
As the game progresses, commentators from all over the world analyze the situation and direction of the game for everyone.
In fact, without their analysis, anyone watching the live broadcast of the game can feel:
Although the Madrid Pirates are one goal ahead in the total score, this lead is not big enough for the Kings to give up the game.
Although the Kings of Madrid cannot advance to the finals even if they score one more goal, they still retain the hope of advancing. So they will definitely attack with all their strength.
Therefore, until the referee blows the final whistle, no one can say that the Madrid Pirates will definitely be able to reach the final, and the Kings will definitely not be able to go to London.
This is the charm of the football game.
※※※
Kyrie only came on the field in the second half. His physical fitness was quite good and he was not unable to run.
He took the initiative to ask for the ball more, but after getting the ball, he did not rush to launch a counterattack.
Because there is no time to fight back.
He chose to use his ball-handling skills to help Madrid Pirates delay.
Of course it would be better if the Kings players could be tempted to foul.
But this time when he caught the ball, he was knocked to the ground from behind by Osei.
The whistle that Kaili was expecting to hear as he fell to the ground did not sound!
"Osai stepped out from behind to steal Kyrie. His kick was very accurate and there was no foul! The King took advantage of the situation and launched an attack!"
The Kings caught Kyrie and the ball was intercepted. The Pirates attacked when they were switching from defense to offense.
Melli, who retreated to the midfield, received the ball and then made a vertical attack, straight into the penalty area of the Madrid Pirates!
Because Ramirez retreated into the penalty area to help Bedia defend, it was Joaquin Vela who faced Melly in the midfield...
He lowered his center of gravity to intercept Melli head-on, but was easily passed by Melli's upper body feint and the change of rhythm of his feet. When Melli's right shoulder sank and his left foot was raised to dunk the football, he thought Melli
He wanted to break through from his left side, so his center of gravity shifted slightly to that side.
At this moment, Melli's left instep gently pushed the football in the opposite direction, and his whole body passed by Joaquin Vela's body.
Because there was no time to adjust his center of gravity, Joaquin Vela didn't even make a foul move. It seemed as if his whole body had fallen into a state of stiffness, and he was passed by Melli.
Melly, who passed Joaquin Vela, continued to dribble toward the Pirates penalty area, and then met Ramirez at the penalty arc.
He took a shot before Ramirez could fully pounce on him.
The football slides out!
Here, Merry felt regretful that he didn't hit the door frame, and he put his head in his hands.
Behind him, Carey angrily yelled at the referee. He believed that what Osei had just done to him should have been a foul.
The referee signaled Carey to calm down, otherwise he would give him a yellow card.
Kyrie did not continue to roar, but he was still chattering: "He must have committed a foul, I guarantee it, absolutely!"
But it doesn't matter what he said. The referee could see clearly that although Osei's movements were fierce, they were very clean. He really touched the ball first and then knocked Carey to the ground. So according to the rules
No foul.
Not long after, Madrid Pirates found Hulay with a long pass from the backfield.
Hulay jumped up and competed with Peralta for the top. The football was pushed away by the latter, and Hulay was knocked to the ground.
The same Pirates player fell to the ground, but this time the referee blew the whistle, calling Peralta a foul. The Argentine center back jumped towards Jule during the aerial battle.
Pirates of Madrid thus win a free kick slightly higher in the midfield.
Although the Madrid Pirates have two free kick masters, this free kick 40 meters away from the goal is basically difficult to threaten the King's goal.
However, they can use this free kick to delay some time.
So Hu Lai, who was knocked to the ground, didn't get up immediately. Instead, he lay on the ground covering his head for almost a minute. It wasn't until he felt that if he didn't get up, the referee would let a stretcher come on that he got up from the ground.
Other Madrid Pirates players also ran up.
Although this ball cannot directly threaten the Kings goal, it is still a rare opportunity for the Pirates, who have been pressed hard, to advance the offense into the Kings half. If it is just used to delay time, it would be too wasteful.
.
However, they did not invest a lot of troops. For example, the situation where two central defenders pressed in front of the opponent's goal, which is common in set-piece offensive tactics, did not occur.
There are only two forwards left in the front, Hu Lai and Carey.
The free kick was taken, and Tonini, who took the free kick, looked for Carey first, and then created an opportunity through Carey and passed it to Hulay.
It's a very simple style of play, and there is no secret killer move. But with the support of Kaili's excellent personal skills and Hu Lai's top-notch running without the ball, it turned out to be a success!
The Kings defenders all thought that Kyrie would pass the football to Hu Lai who ran out of space. Kyrie indeed turned his body that way, then raised his right leg as if to pass the ball.
After deceiving Cequeros who was guarding him, Kyrie suddenly pulled the football back with his right foot, turned back at the same time, stepped away from the angle and shot!
Carey's shot went straight to the far corner!
Bucker fell to the ground and threw himself on his side. He rubbed the ball with his fingertips, causing the football to change its flight path a little.
Finally flew out of the bottom line!
Kings fans screamed and screamed in the stands!
"Oops! Kairi...what a pity! It was almost!"
"Kyrie's shot was unexpected! But Bucker was highly focused and made a very good save! From the slow motion view, he should have used his fingertips to rub the ball out!"
"Although the ball didn't go in, the Pirates also got a corner kick. If used properly, this corner kick can still pose a threat to the Kings goal!"
※※※
Although the Madrid Pirates got a corner kick, the Pirates didn't seem to have any intention of taking the penalty. Everyone was dawdling and taking their time, which caused the Kings fans in the stands to boo wildly.
At this time, there are actually about ten minutes left before the end of the game. If the injury time is five minutes...
Until the referee pointed to his watch and reminded the Pirates players that he would count all the delayed time into injury time, and that delaying time was useless.
The players of Madrid Pirates were just a little more active.
This corner kick is different from the free kick just now. This time Pirates center back Moreno comes up to fight for the top.
But the other centre-back Bedia stayed in the backcourt.
The set-piece tactic has been specially practiced by the Pirates. If they can seize the opportunity of this corner kick and score a goal, they will no longer have to worry about the next few minutes of the game.
The reason why only one center back came up and one was left behind was, of course, to guard against the King's counterattack.
The Pirates' concerns in this regard are justified, because the corner kick attack was not successful in the end, giving the Madrid King a chance to counterattack!
The ball kicked by Toni was directly punched out by goalkeeper Bakker.
The football that was played fell outside the penalty area. When Cerrados rushed towards the penalty area to fight for the top, he rubbed the football backwards.
Melli, who was further forward than him, half-turned and used the outside instep of his left foot to push the football forward, speeding up and sprinting!
The cheers in the stands suddenly grew louder, but then stopped abruptly.
Because the captain of the Pirates, Juan Ramirez, blocked Melly's path to dribble the ball and pushed forward mercilessly. Although he raised his hands, his knee was on Melly's thigh!
Melly rolled and fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle and boos from the stands sounded.
"Ramirez fouled Melli. This action was a bit big. He will definitely not escape a yellow card!"
Ramirez didn't care whether he got a yellow card or not. He used a yellow card to stop Melly's counterattack. He felt it was a good deal.
However, Melly, who was knocked to the ground, did not hold his thigh muscles and roll on the ground. Instead, he struggled to get up from the ground, and then limped towards Ramirez angrily.
Although he was immediately caught by his quick-eyed teammates, he still roared at Ramirez: "You committed a flagrant foul! You should be sent off with a red card!"
He was so frightened that Ramirez took a step back reflexively, and then looked at him in surprise. He even showed no reaction to the yellow card shown to him by the referee.
I don’t know whether Melli’s anger came from Ramirez who committed the foul, or the referee who only gave a yellow card...
"Melli is very angry!" commentator Sanchez said, "Of course he should be angry! Because Ramirez's foul was deliberately directed at others, with the purpose of preventing him from successfully passing! There is not much time left in the game, and every time
Offensive opportunities are precious to the Kings! And Ramirez just killed another opportunity for the Kings!"
When he said this, the Kings fans in the stadium booed heart-stoppingly.
The sound was so loud that the on-site commentator had to shout out the above words at the top of his lungs.
It was only after Melly finished yelling that he realized the pain in the outer muscles of his right thigh from being pushed by Ramirez. He stroked the area and limped when he walked.
Cerrados came up to him and asked: "Are you okay?"
Melly shook his head: "It's okay, I can do it, captain."
"Okay." Cerrados didn't say much, just patted Melly on the shoulder.
There were a few minutes left in the game, and the team really needed Melli during this period. He couldn't say anything to let Melli rest. That would be too pretentious.
※※※
"Melli took the initiative to ask for the ball, but Dudu Carlos still passed the ball... Now the Kings can only count on Melli's personal ability! There were only a few minutes left in the game, and the Pirates recovered everything, even Hu and Kai
Lidu retreated to the defensive third zone to defend..."
The King of Madrid attacked the edge of the Pirates' penalty area, and the football was passed to Melli who retreated.
When Melly just caught the ball, Tonini rushed over from beside him.
However, Melli used a fake move to speed up and break through with the ball, allowing Toni to overshoot.
Then Melli moved the football forward and headed towards the penalty area of the Madrid Pirates!
The Pirates players had rushed towards him from all directions, and this time even Hu Lai was among them, trying to sneak attack from behind.
But before he even had time to get close to Melli, Melli had already passed Joaquin Vela and continued to dribble the ball forward.
Hu Lai actually couldn't help much with the rest.
Melly dribbled the ball towards the Pirates penalty area. In front of him and beside him were Madrid Pirates players who had heard the news.
At this time, no one thought about whether their swarm of troops to surround Meili would lead to a lack of troops in other places.
Because their bodies instinctively believe in Meli's ability, if everyone doesn't come together, they will all be defeated by him!
"Merry is under siege!"
"He passed Bettia!"
"Ramirez!"
Melly wanted to pass Ramirez again, but there was a burst of pain in the thigh muscles of his right leg that had been pushed by the opponent before, causing him to almost lose his balance and fall to the ground!
How can I admit defeat here...
Melly gritted his teeth and tightened the muscles of his right leg again to support his tilted body. At the same time, he used the outside instep of his right foot to move the football to the outside, avoiding Ramirez's frontal interception.
But he was also forced to move away from the goal...
The Pirates captain quickly turned around and continued to push Mellie to the side. As long as he did not directly threaten the goal, this defense was considered a success!
Hu Lai, who had been slowly staying behind before, saw this scene, but suddenly accelerated, turned to the other side, and rushed into the penalty area!
At the same time as he started, Melli, who seemed to be forced to the outside by Ramirez, suddenly raised his right foot and kicked the football, looking like he was going to shoot.
So Ramirez and another Madrid Pirates center back Moreno tackled over at the same time!
They formed a double insurance between Mellie and the goal!
But the football was not shot toward the goal!
Melli's right foot came down slightly and he dunked the football in the opposite direction, knocking down Ramirez and Moreno at the same time!
Then he rushed the ball to the center before Ion poked it!
Instead of shooting, he chose to cross!
"Hulai!"
"Cerados!"
When Hu Lai saw the football being passed, he kicked his legs hard to tackle the ball. Even if he hit the football from this angle, it would probably be an own goal, but he didn't care at all!
But he didn't touch the ball!
He was about half a meter away from the football, and the football passed in front of him and rolled towards Cerrados behind him!
The "King of Madrid Derby" faced the rolling football and raised his foot to shoot!
Hewel just turned over and rushed back from the front point, and could only watch the football fly over the line and enter his door!

PS, let’s add another chapter to let this game finally settle down. The fourth update will be posted soon.
Also, by the way, I will save the manuscripts tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Now I only have five chapters saved. I have no food in hand and I feel panic...
