When the Madrid Pirates players rushed into the locker room, almost everyone roared and roared excitedly.
It's as if he hasn't recovered from the excitement of Kyrie's goal just now.
They just extended the celebration off the field and into the locker room.
Carey scored in the 42nd minute of the first half. In fact, there were still a few minutes before the first half ended.
But in the collective frenzy, those few minutes of the game were as if they never happened.
Even the Catalan United players seemed to have disappeared.
They did not pose any threat to Madrid Pirates after the game restarted.
The fans in the stands also disappeared. After Kyrie scored, the Holy Family Stadium was as quiet as a morgue.
So from a psychological point of view, the Madrid Pirates players felt that they were still celebrating Kyrie's goal, and there was nothing wrong with them at all.
With a three-goal lead in the first half, it can be said that the championship trophy is waving to them.
This season's La Liga championship...they are determined!
Some people even shouted loudly: "Sibeleth! Sibeleth! Sibeleth!"
"Sibeles" is the name of the Harvest Goddess, and is also the name of the Harvest Goddess Square where the Madrid Pirates celebrate their victory.
The Pirates players shouting this is no different from simply chanting "We are the champions".
After being eliminated by their rivals in the Champions League semi-finals, all the Pirates players were holding back their energy: No matter what, they will never let the Kings become the "Triple Crown"!
So this league championship is more than just a "league championship".
The joy of winning the championship and the pleasure of revenge are intertwined, making them just want to vent their emotions.
They took a three-goal lead in the first half, which made Hu Lai very happy.
So although he didn't chant slogans like "We are the champions", he still had a smile on his face.
Until he saw Ion Martinez dragging out a bottle of... champagne from under the massage table!
Hu Lai's eyes widened, but the others were still cheering...
Hold!
Just when Ion shook the champagne bottle vigorously and was about to open the cork, Hu Lai rushed forward and held his hands down: "No!"
He roared so loudly that his voice broke.
It was incompatible with the joyful atmosphere in the locker room, so that everyone's eyes instantly turned to Hu Lai.
And Ion was frightened by Hu Lai who rushed towards him.
After Hu Lai came back to his senses, he also knew that his reaction just now was a bit excessive... Facing a room full of teammates who looked at him with puzzled expressions, he couldn't tell them that he knew an allusion to the tragedy after popping champagne at midfield, right?
Players in this world don’t know what the “Miracle of Istanbul” is.
But at least in the history of football in this world, there is a precedent of leading by three goals in the first half, only to be overturned in the second half.
And it’s also the story of what happened to the Madrid Pirates’ rival in the same city, the Kings of Madrid.
So he put on a straight face and said to everyone with a serious expression: "The game is not over yet. Do you open the champagne now because you think we can definitely win the championship? Everyone has forgotten where the King's famous slogan came from.
?"
The famous battle cry of the King of Madrid, "Forward, King! Never give up! Fight to the end" appeared in the context of the fact that the King was beaten 0:3 by Munich in the first half of the 1994 Champions League final.
Everyone, including themselves, thought the king was doomed.
The players of the Blue and White Munich couldn't wait to celebrate at halftime. Of course, they didn't open the champagne.
Luis Cuellar, the Kings' captain at the time, encouraged his teammates in the locker room and shouted this classic line.
In the second half, the Kings scored three goals in ten minutes.
Although it is remarkable to score three goals in a row, the Kings were able to achieve this, in addition to their own efforts, the hip performance of Blue and White Munich in the second half was also "indispensable".
Perhaps it was because they were too relaxed during the halftime break. Neither the players nor the head coach took the second half of the game too seriously. They thought the Kings had completely lost their will to fight, so when they saw the Kings regain the first place
I was a little surprised when I picked up the ball.
Immediately afterwards, the King quickly scored the second goal. The players of Blue and White Munich were not surprised, but... "horrified".
They thought the king had lost his will to fight, but in fact it was they themselves who had lost their will to fight.
Facing the King who was pursuing victory, the players of Blue and White Munich panicked and soon lost the third goal.
It wasn't until this moment that they calmed down a little.
Send the game into overtime.
But once the feeling of competition is lost, how can it be so easy to get it back?
However, the king's morale was high, and the two sides changed their offensive and defensive positions. In the end, Blue and White Munich sent a penalty kick to the Madrid Kings in overtime. The captain of the Madrid Kings, Cuellar, personally took the penalty and defeated the Blue and White Munich.
That game became a classic battle in the history of the Champions League final and a classic synonym for "reversal". Blue and white Munich became the representative of "reversal".
So Hu Lai doesn't need to introduce much. He just needs to talk about this game and everyone will understand what he means.
Everyone also understood why Hulay stopped Ion from opening the champagne. Although the Blue and White Munich did not open the champagne during halftime in the final that year to celebrate the victory, everyone knew the meaning of opening the champagne.
"Nonsense is right. Although we played well in the first half, we still shouldn't get too carried away."
Coach Parotti's voice sounded at the door of the locker room. Everyone turned to look at the coach, who also had a serious expression.
With the arrival of the head coach, the carnival atmosphere in the locker room gradually faded away.
"Catalan United is not an ordinary team, this is their home court. No matter what, they will definitely cause us trouble in the second half. Under such circumstances, we ourselves are not well prepared, and all it takes is a little spark.
It will detonate the ammunition depot and blow us all into the sky... If we lose the league championship in this way today, then we will not only lose a championship, we will also be like the blue and white Munich in 1994... No
, it should be said that we will replace the blue and white Munich team and become the object of ridicule for a long time in the future. Until I don’t know how long later, the next unlucky guy will replace our historical position... You hope that
?"
Faced with Parotti's inquiry and gaze, all the players shook their heads vigorously.
"No no no! We don't want that!"
"Yeah, coach, no one wants to be laughed at!"
"The victims only need the blue and white Munich!"
※※※
As the referee blew his whistle, the Madrid Kings players walked off the field one after another.
If you only looked at their expressions, combined with the score on the big screen behind them that was blurred by the camera, you would definitely think that the Madrid Kings had a bad start in the first half and were led 2:0 by Saria, who played away from home...
But in fact, the reason why each of them looked depressed was simple. At the end of the first half, they heard the fourth large-scale booing in the game.
So they knew that something must have happened at the Holy Family Stadium that would get them into trouble.
In all likelihood, it was the Madrid Pirates who scored again...
They already knew it before. Although the Madrid King fans booed three times, the Pirates actually led Catalonia 2:0.
So now the Pirates may lead Catalonia 3:0...
It was only half the game, and Catalonia was already three goals behind!
Is this how a wealthy family should behave?!
Simply shameful!
From that moment on, although the game was not over yet, the minds of the Madrid Kings players had already flown to the locker room at halftime. They couldn’t wait to pick up their mobile phones and learn about Catalonia’s performance through the Internet.
The home team conceded three goals in just 45 minutes...
"Damn it, Hu Mei fired twice!"
"What are Catalonia doing? They actually retreated after conceding two goals!"
"I suspect that Catalonia does not want to win this game at all. They just want to give the Pirates a victory and the league championship as revenge against us..."
Back in the locker room, the players of the King of Madrid picked up their mobile phones and looked at the game highlights there, and they were all stunned.
The achievement of "Triple Crown" is so attractive that the players of the Madrid Kings have made it clear that their goal this season is to win the first "Triple Crown" in the history of Spanish football.
That's why everyone cares so much now that they are a little nervous...
Before the game, they were all optimistic that Catalan United would cause huge trouble to the Pirates at home. As a result, Catalan United surrendered without even resisting for half the game...
The Madrid Kings players felt angry about being "stabbed in the back".
Melly's face didn't look very good either.
On the one hand, this is because his hope of winning the league title is getting slimmer, and on the other hand, his chances of competing for the league's Golden Boot are almost nil.
When Vandenberg scored the team's second goal, Melly had already taken the opportunity to celebrate the goal and asked his substitute teammates about the match between Pirates and Catalonia.
I know that Madrid Pirates leads Catalonia United by two goals, and both goals were scored by Hu Lai.
When he returned to the locker room, he checked on the Internet and it was indeed Hulay who scored twice.
This means that although he scored a goal in the game, the gap between him and Hu Lai in the scorer list has not widened, but has become further and further away.
He is still four goals behind Hulay. If he wants to win the Golden Boot or even share the Golden Boot with Hulay, he has to score four goals in the second half.
But looking at how Sarria defended him in the first half, how is this possible?
