After Kabangca used a long shot to help Catalonia take a 2:1 lead, Hulay had not shot for a while.
On the one hand, it is because he was defended by the opponent, and on the other hand, because Catalonia has the upper hand in the current situation, the Madrid Pirates can only use counterattacks to threaten the Catalan United goal. Under such circumstances, Hulay said
Naturally, there will be fewer kicking opportunities.
"I've counted, brother. I haven't shot for six minutes and 48 seconds. I applaud you, your defense is really good."
Even when Catalonia is attacking, center back Paul Fortune follows Hulay at every step - unless Hulay is in an offside position.
So Hu Lai took advantage of the opponent's attack to chat with Fortune to relieve his boredom.
When he said this, he did not forget to give Fortune a thumbs up with a smile on his face.
This scene fell in the eyes of the TV audience, and some people were confused:
What does Hu Lai have to say to Paul Fortune? Are you giving a thumbs up? Is Hu Lai indistinguishable between friend and foe?
Some people got excited:
"Coming, coming! 'Cross Talk Football' is here again!"
Fortune didn't give any reaction to Hu Lai's words, as if he didn't hear them.
But Hu Lai didn't care if anyone responded to him. He had long been used to it. He just continued to say:
"...I'm very happy that you can always follow me, brother. This fully reflects your respect for me. But I still have to say that even if you keep following me, it's useless. When it's time to score, even if you
If you stick to me, I will still score goals. But in fact, my scoring opportunities in a game are very few, maybe only one percent of the game time? And for this one percent risk, your team
But you have to spend the remaining ninety-nine percent of the time fighting with one less person. Don’t you think this is the biggest danger?”
Paul Fortune still ignored him.
Hu Lai also temporarily turned his attention to the competition.
When he saw the Madrid Pirates getting the ball and starting to organize an attack, he said to Fortune:
"Brother, you don't think that when the football comes to my feet, I can only shoot, right? Let me tell you that although I don't have many assists, it doesn't mean that I won't assist. In this situation, you are one goal ahead of us. If I get hit by
With your close defense, do you think I will shoot the ball myself or pass the ball?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Lai suddenly started running backwards.
Because at this time, the attack of the Madrid Pirates pushed the football up, Kamara got the ball from behind, and Hulay went up to support his teammates.
Paul Fortune also quickly followed.
Kamara passed the ball over.
After Hu Lai caught the ball, Paul Fortune quickly followed up and prevented him from turning around easily.
Of course Hulay didn't try to turn around, he just passed the football to Kamara who was running without the ball.
The two of them played a two-on-one match.
After passing the ball, Hulay turned around and ran forward, while Camara dribbled the ball diagonally towards the Catalan United penalty area.
Then he completed a long shot outside the penalty area.
It's a pity that the ball did not fly into the goal.
Although he didn't score, Hulay still said to Paul Fortune: "Brother, look, this ball doesn't need me to shoot, it can still threaten your goal. Don't say I didn't remind you, Kamara.
I have scored seven goals in the league this season, and I am the top scorer in our team besides me. How is it? Are you afraid?"
Paul Fortune felt like there was a constant "buzzing" in his ears, as if there were countless flies lingering around.
Hu Lai, on the other hand, is like an annoying person who keeps talking to himself. To Paul Fortune, it sounds like mental pollution.
Fortune really couldn't bear it. He ran to find his central defender, Joel Jimenez, and then covered his mouth with his hands and lowered his voice and said: "Hey, Joel. Let's switch, and you can defend."
Hu."
Joel Jimenez was a little strange: "But the coach arranged for you to guard against Hu..."
"I know, I understand. But Joel, I'm in a little trouble and I need to adjust... Don't worry, I will replace you after I adjust."
"Okay..." Jimenez agreed.
He agreed a little reluctantly because if he had a choice, he didn't want to face Hu Lai directly in defense.
"Brothers!"
Paul Fortune patted him on the shoulder to thank him.
Hu Lai looked at Joel Jimenez standing next to him. He was a little confused and surprised at first, and then all these expressions gradually turned into smiles:
"Ouch, brother, you're here? Is this your new tactic? Let me guess... what's the name of this tactic? Well, 'Wheel War'? Hey, why bother? Why don't you just go together? It's better to put it together
Call your full-backs and defensive midfielders. I'm going to hit ten!"
He seamlessly switched from speaking French to Paul Fortune to speaking Catalan to the local Jimenez, as if he was a Catalan himself.
"Ha, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. 'I'm going to fight ten' is a joke, but it doesn't mean that I really want to fight ten. Of course, if you really use ten people to defend me alone, then I can still do it.
The challenge..."
The stunned Joel Jimenez immediately understood why Paul wanted to change places with him.
※※※
In front of the home team's coaching bench on the sidelines, assistant coach Van Hoyzen frowned and asked: "Why did Fortune change positions with Jimenez? We didn't have such an arrangement before the game."
Riley Vicente looked at Joel Jimenez, who looked a little lifeless, and then moved his eyes to Hulay next to him, who was covering his mouth with his hands. Looking at his expression, it was simply...
It can be said to be "ecstatic"...
So he said to his assistant: "Stein, Fortune reminded us that we should adopt a rotation strategy to deal with Hu. We cannot let one person guard Hu for the whole game. Because the psychological pressure of guarding him is very high.
No one can play a game for ninety minutes under such great pressure without making mistakes..."
Van Hoyzen suddenly understood.
※※※
This is not the first time Joel Jimenez has fought against Hulay, and he has also heard stories about how broken Hulay's mouth can be.
But today, for the first time, he realized how powerful Hu Lai's verbal skills were.
The other party can actually chat with me completely non-stop!
Most people would wonder why there are so many things to talk about?
Jimenez is also weird.
But Hu Lai can talk about anything, and he will naturally extend from one topic to another.
Jimenez has no idea what's going on in this kid's mind...
In addition, Hu Lai also has another ability, that is, he can chat casually with Jimenez while still playing normally, as if he can say those words without thinking at all...
Most people's brains cannot think when they are talking. Therefore, leaders generally speak at a slower speed in order to think carefully while speaking, so as not to say the wrong thing.
There is a small experiment to prove this: when a person is on the phone, no matter what you hand him, he will catch it without any doubt, because his brain will not pay attention to other external things at this moment.
Perform analysis.
This is also the reason why Hu Lai’s “cross talk football” is so harmful.
Of course there are instances of trash-talking at each other on the football field, but before Hu Lai, no one had ever trash-talked while passing someone, right?
Hu Lai, on the other hand, can compete with the opponent's defender for position and keep talking at the same time.
Now Joel Jimenez knows that Hu Lai didn't keep saying it before, not because he couldn't, but because he didn't want to...
"Hey, look at this ball. Do you think I will go up to catch it?"
Hulay covered his mouth with one hand and asked Jimenez next to him.
At the same time, the Madrid Pirates team pushed the football forward and had enough contact points in the midfield and frontcourt, so Hulay was still at the front and did not immediately retreat to receive the ball.
After Jimenez didn't answer, Hulay suddenly accelerated and rushed to respond. Facing Joaquin Vela's pass, he didn't stop the ball and directly passed it to Vukovic who was pulling away laterally.
Then he turned around, but did not run forward in a hurry. Instead, he grinned at Jimenez who was following him: "Ha, you guessed wrong, I came up to take over!"
Jimenez really wants to find Paul Fortune now and change his position.
But he couldn't, because the Madrid Pirates' attack was not over yet.
Although Hulay did not go up immediately, the Madrid Pirates' attack advanced very quickly.
Jimenez dropped Hulay and accelerated back to defense. At the same time, he handed Hulay to defensive midfielder Vander Stern.
When rushing back to the penalty area, Jimenez actually felt a sense of joy...
But this comfortable feeling did not last long.
Because Hu Lai also accelerated towards the door.
When he reached the penalty spot, he suddenly turned and turned to the back spot!
Then Kamara kicked up and made a pass!
Jimenez immediately moved closer to Hulay, preparing to stick to him and deny him any space to easily shoot.
Paul Fortune in the middle jumped high, hoping to clear the football directly.
It's just that he failed.
The football passed over his head and fell towards the back of the goal!
Jimenez and Hulay ran towards the landing point at the same time!
The former did not fight for the top, but squeezed his body towards Hu Lai.
Under his interference, Hu Lai stretched his head towards the falling football while sprinting forward.
Jimenez's interference still had an effect, because Hu Lai did not stand upright this time, but rubbed it a little.
The football was knocked straight down by him, but was hit by his left foot!
Catalan United goalkeeper Schulman focused all his attention on Hulay's header, and his eyes were focused on the height of Hulay's head.
Unexpectedly, the football suddenly folded down and quickly entered the blind spot of his sight!
He only felt something flash under the corner of his eye...
Immediately afterwards, the Holy Family Stadium erupted into a deafening noise, with cheers, exclamations, screams and boos.
Hearing this sound, Schulman realized...he had lost the ball!

PS, sorry, I have to ask for leave next.
Yesterday I took my children to Luxury Lake for camping. After tossing and turning all night in the extremely hot tent, I woke up early this morning and felt dizzy, as if I had a high fever. I don’t know if it was because I didn’t sleep well or it was caused by my cervical spine.
…
I drove home and tidied up briefly, but I really couldn't hold on any longer and needed a good rest.
I was camping out yesterday, so I took the time to type and write two chapters. The second chapter was not finished until around two o'clock in the morning...
I originally thought I wouldn't need to delay coding, but it turned out that I was completely screwed today.
You can't code, you have to go to bed early and lie down.
With only three chapters saved, if I don't type in a day, I won't be able to keep up with the saved manuscripts.
I have no choice but to take a leave of absence temporarily so that I can recuperate my body.
