"Cordero, what happened to your mistake in the first half?!"
Back in the locker room, Cordero was questioned like a prisoner by head coach Jose Bernal.
Other Catalan League players also turned their attention.
They thought that Cordero would admit his mistake straightforwardly, but they didn't expect that he suddenly became excited when he was asked this question.
"It's all Hu's fault! It's all that Chinese's fault! He framed me!"
Everyone was confused. Even head coach Bernal was full of questions: "Are you saying that you made a mistake because of Hu's pressing?"
Although this is an objective reason, if Cordero shirks his responsibility like this, to be honest, as the head coach, Bernal will be very disappointed with him.
But what Cordero said next surprised everyone present.
"No, it wasn't because of his pressing. It was because he deceived me! He asked me to pass the ball to the left!"
"What?" Bernal thought it was too ridiculous, "He asked you to pass it and you passed it?"
"I thought it was Joel who asked me to pass it on..."
Joel Jimenez pointed his finger at himself: "Me? How is that possible?"
Cordero said: "I know this sounds ridiculous. But that's the fact. When he rushed over, he shouted in Catalan. I subconsciously thought it was a challenge. Everyone in the locker room looked at each other.
Naar captured an important message: "You mean Hu asked you to pass the ball to the left in Catalan?"
Cordero nodded: "Yes, Catalan."
"Why does he know Catalan?" Bernal was even more surprised.
Cordero shook his head: "I don't know how he can do it, but he just knows it... After scoring the goal, he even came over to thank me in Catalan.
That’s when I realized he actually knew Catalan.”
Catalan is the language of Catalonia, where Barcelona is located, and is different from Spanish.
In the Autonomous Region of Catalonia, this language has the same official status as Spanish.
Among the people it even surpasses Spanish.
Many local players who have played for Catalan League for many years actually communicate in Catalan on a daily basis.
The first language a foreign player in Catalonia needs to learn after joining is not Spanish, but Catalan.
Only in this way can you integrate well into the team.
If a foreign player can be interviewed in Catalan, he will definitely win the love of Catalan fans quickly.
It's just that Catalan is not a widely spread language after all. Except for people living in this area, most people don't need to understand and learn Catalan.
It’s okay to say that Catalan is an “unpopular language”.
How did Hulay master such an "internal lingua franca" of the Catalan Federation?
Everyone was surprised.
"I have heard that Hu has a strong talent for languages. His ability to adapt seamlessly to La Liga has a lot to do with his proficiency in Spanish...
"But no matter how talented he is, it is too much, right? I can understand why he learned Spanish in order to adapt to La Liga as soon as possible. What is the purpose of learning Catalan? It is impossible to advance a year for today's game.
Why don’t you start learning Catalan on your own?” someone refuted.
The rebuttal was also very reasonable, so the person being rebutted could not come up with a better explanation and could only spread his hands: "Then how do you explain the current situation? Mr. Hu can't learn Catalonia overnight.
Is it in Asian language?”
"Why can't it be overnight? Just learn a few words temporarily. How much effort does it take?"
"Still doesn't make sense. How does he know what's going to happen in the game, so how does he know exactly which phrases to learn on the fly?"
Seeing that both sides had their own opinions, and no one could convince the other, captain Rosas came out to smooth things over: "It's also possible that he has started learning Catalan a long time ago. But it may not be for this game. You know, Hu Hu still wanted to learn Catalan at the beginning.
When he was playing in China, we were also interested in him...
When he said this, everyone suddenly realized.
This makes sense - maybe Hulay had been interested in Catalan United from that time and planned to join. So he started to learn Catalan on his own.
But I didn’t expect that Catalan United only announced their interest verbally, or maybe they were not interested at all. This was purely out of disgust for the Madrid king... So in the end, Catalan United did not make an actual offer, thus passing by Hulay.
Now it seems that this may be the "miss" that Catalan United regrets the most.
Compare this to the Catalan language that Hulay learned in order to join Catalan United. He can still use it freely now. It shows how much effort he put in at the beginning. Maybe he really wanted to join Catalan United.
?It’s just that I was heartbroken by the attitude of Catalonia United? When I think about it,
It seems to explain why he is so excited every time he plays Catalonia at the Sagrada Familia Stadium because this was once the place he was eager to fight for!
It's really sad and sighing...
Kabangka also didn't expect that there was such a story behind the team's second goal conceded.
After figuring out the reason, he was extremely speechless.
He knew that Hu Lai's language talent was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that his super language talent could be used in this way...
He originally thought that chatting with the opponent's defender on the court was the limit of what Hu Lai could do.
Now it seems that his lower limit for Hu Lai is still too high!
He was actually able to use the native language of the opposing player to deceive the opponent during the game...
You must know that South American players are famous for being "dirty". Brazilian player Kabangca has seen a lot of dirty tricks since he was a child. But compared with Hulay, South American players are like "angels".
No matter how dirty you are, Hu Lai is not as dirty as Hu Lai. Hu Lai is the real dirty guy, he is black from the inside out!
Throw him into a swimming pool and the water in the pool will turn black!

"So you asked Cordero to pass that kick?"
In the visiting team's locker room, everyone gathered around Hu Lai to inquire about the specific situation at that time.
It's just that as Hulay's teammates, they don't worry about why he can speak Catalan - they are most impressed by Hulay's language talent. In the Madrid Pirates team, there are players from all over the world, no matter what the person's language talent is.
Regardless of the language, Hu Lai can communicate fluently with the other party's language.
After getting used to it, the Madrid Pirates players have long stopped exploring why Hulay speaks so many languages and what languages he knows.
"yes."
"It's a pity that Cordero already knows that you can speak Catalan, otherwise there might be another scam in the second half..." Ion Martinez said regretfully.
Others also nodded in agreement.
Tonini said to Hulay: "If I were you, I wouldn't run to thank him after scoring the goal. Then let them guess at halftime who asked Cordero to pass to the left..."
"Yes, let them fall into mutual suspicion!"
"Maybe it can make them fight among themselves? It would be better to have a fight! Haha!"
Everyone "offered suggestions and advice" as a hindsight.
But Hu Lai had a different opinion: "You can't fool them for long, guys. They can easily guess it's me. It's not a secret that I speak multiple languages. I hope this will make them fight among themselves.
It's impossible. But letting Cordero know that he was deceived by me can actually make his mentality explode. Because such a goalkeeper is difficult to accept..."
The Pirates' main goalkeeper, Haywell, raised his hand in agreement with Hulay: "Nonsense is right. As a goalkeeper, it's wonderful to be able to accept the opponent's shot. I can also accept the opponent's missed goal even if I try my best to save it.
He had no choice but to lose the ball after using a fake move to shake himself away. But if he was tricked into losing the ball by this kind of off-the-table trick, anyone’s mentality would explode. I can only say that fortunately Hu and I are teammates!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Not only Hewel, but others also felt that it was lucky that they and Hu Lai were teammates, otherwise it would have been torture every time they met Hu Lai.
"Very good." Coach Parotti stood up and said, "So in the second half we have to continue to put pressure on Cordero and try to shoot more if we have the opportunity. If we can force him to make another mistake, that would be even better!"
※※※ Catalan United head coach Jose Bernal grabbed Cordero’s shoulders with both hands, almost pressed his forehead against them, looked directly at him and said:
"Listen, Carlos. The goal conceded in the first half is not your responsibility, but Hu is too cunning. No one in your position can do better than you. So forget about the first half.
Conceded the goal and focused on the second half! "
Cordero gritted his teeth and nodded: "I understand. I won't let that goal loss affect me!"
What he was most worried about was that the mistake would mess up Cordero's mood and make him feel self-blame during the game, which would affect his performance in the next game.
The position of goalkeeper is very critical.
Catalan United emphasizes overall passing and control, and the goalkeeper is naturally a part of the passing and controlling system.
When Jimenez lost the ball in the first half, it was a very normal return pass to the goalkeeper. Cordero chose to pass it across to his teammate on the side instead of kicking it directly forward. This was also the case for Catalonia United.
Tactical requirements and habits.
Therefore, if Cordero is restless and has random thoughts, it will not only affect the safety of the goal, but also affect Catalonia's overall passing control in the second half.
Seeing Cordero's performance, Bernal was slightly relieved.
I hope Cordero can really try to come out of the shadow of low-level mistakes in the first half, as he said...
※※※P, please give me a monthly pass during the double period!
