Looking at the Turias players in front of him, Hu Lai suddenly laughed.
Because he remembered that after Sarria coach Casas dismissed get out of class, he also assured Brother Huan in the group that he would help Brother Huan defeat their relegation rival Turias in the penultimate round of the league.
Brother Huan successfully avoided relegation.
As a result, Brother Huan may not care about his help now - before this game, Turias had 32 points, and it is difficult to threaten Saria's position, which currently has 37 points. Even if Turias has 37 points
Yas has to fight to avoid relegation, and its competitors are not Saria, but Getafe 1326 and Atlético Oviedo, who have 35 points.
If Saria wants to avoid relegation, they still have to look at their own performance.
But I need Brother Huan’s help...
This time I really have to rely on Brother Huan, not just joking with Brother Huan like two years ago.
It has been less than a month since I vowed to help Brother Huan avoid relegation, but now I have to rely on Brother Huan to help me win the championship.
At that time, he had just scored a hat trick against Real Huelva, helping the team defeat Real Huelva 3:0, and he was in the limelight.
At that time, the league rankings of Sarria and Real Huelva were exactly the same as now: Sarria was 16th and Real Huelva was 17th.
At that time, the score difference between the two teams was four points.
Now it's only one point away.
In the past three rounds of the league, Saria has not won a game and only tied once after the coaching change.
With such a performance, it is indeed difficult for people to be optimistic about their performance in this round of Barcelona derby.
As for Hu Lai himself, he has only scored two goals in the past three rounds of the league, and his number of goals has plummeted.
This kind of performance really makes people unable to believe that he is a player who can decide the championship.
This is what football is like, when you don't perform well, you won't be able to speak back even if you are scolded...
But this time it's different.
In the training days before the game, the entire Madrid Pirates team already knew what to do next.
Head coach Parotti completely abandoned the current tactical style that makes everyone uncomfortable.
Although there is a risk of losing the ball in the new style of play, the risk is not low.
But at least the players are comfortable playing.
Only when you are comfortable playing football can you win.
The Madrid Pirates are not a team like the Turin Bulls who have defense built into their genes.

"Wow! Hu actually laughed!"
When the commentator Sanchez saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because he really couldn't understand why Hu Lai could still laugh under the current circumstances?
Judging from various media reports on Madrid Pirates recently, it is clear that this team has fallen into the biggest crisis in the past three seasons - even bigger than when they were eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals by their city rivals two years ago.
Being eliminated from the Champions League two years ago can be said to be an accident and will not have any impact on the team's subsequent games. This is also true. After being eliminated from the Champions League, Madrid Pirates still achieved three consecutive victories in the league.
Especially in the last round, they defeated Catalonia 4:1 away from home and won the league championship, which proved that the entire team was not affected by the loss in the Champions League.
The biggest problem for pirates now is that they encounter a crisis but cannot find a way out of it.
Some media analysts believe that the current crisis of Madrid Pirates was foreshadowed as early as last season's Triple Crown.
The decline of the Pirates began with the departure of Maxi Carey.
Carey's departure has deprived the Madrid Pirates of more variety and a breakthrough point in their attack.
This season, relying solely on Vukovic to organize the offense - the Serbian midfielder actually did a good job, but as human beings, there will always be times when the state fluctuates and the performance is poor.
Last season we had Kyrie and him as a dual core, but now there is only one core. If something goes wrong, the offensive organization will immediately fall into chaos.
Then there is the irreplaceable importance of Ramirez.
The media's "hindsight" analysis believes that the Madrid Pirates should have found a substitute for Ramirez after winning the Triple Crown last season. However, the club did not do this at all and missed the best opportunity to make a supplement.
It seems that in the mindset of everyone in the Madrid Pirates, Juan Ramirez is a "steel warrior" who is always tireless and will not get injured, let alone have ups and downs in form.
Ramirez's sudden injury was the last straw for the Madrid Pirates.
As the "eyes" of this team, his importance is unparalleled. Without him, the entire team is in chaos, unable to defend and attack.
Hu Lai, the team's number one star, fell into a scoring drought for two consecutive games, and also suffered a lot of infamy and was under tremendous pressure.
Everyone... seemed to be in a mess, exhausted from the torment.
Based on this understanding, Sanchez was naturally very surprised when he saw Hulay's smile.
He couldn't understand how Hu Lai could still laugh?
I wonder if he will still be able to laugh after the game starts...
Li Qingqing, who was in front of the TV, saw Hu Lai's smile and started laughing too, as if he was infected.
Unlike Sanchez who was "kept in the dark", she knew exactly why her boyfriend had such an expression.
He's been in really good shape in training recently - you can guess that from the way he looks excited when he comes home every day.
During the previous period, there was basically no smile on his face when he came home, and he would always frown involuntarily. Even though he didn't say it, Li Qingqing could feel his emotional changes.
Now that he can see Hu Lai's smile on the field, Li Qingqing is full of expectations for this game.

"Hu Lai...header! Oops!"
He Feng first shouted excitedly, and then yelled regretfully.
Hulay's header in the penalty area was saved by Turias' goalkeeper.
This is actually a good opportunity, but Hu Lai's performance makes people can't help but think of his performance in the previous two games.
"Although this attack did not result in a goal, the Madrid Pirates have obviously strengthened their attack in this game. The game has only started for fifteen minutes, and the Madrid Pirates have already had four shots on goal. The momentum is very strong!"
He Feng seemed to be afraid that the Chinese fans would be disappointed, so he quickly made up for it.
When he said this, after the football was saved by the Turias goalkeeper, it was not cleared too far, but fell into the control of the Madrid Pirates players.
Joaquín Vela pressed directly forward, grabbed the ball before Turias' midfielder, and quickly distributed it to left back Ion Martinez on the wing.
Since there is a Champions League match against Ruerrhein next Wednesday, Parotti still made rotation adjustments to the team's starting lineup for this league match.
Ion Martinez, who was suspended by a red card in the next Champions League game, started, but not all the main players started in this game.
After the Madrid Pirates' starting lineup for this game came out, some reporters said on the Internet that Parotti was still experimenting with new tactics. It seemed that the Italian coach could not change his habit of paying too much attention to tactics... This shows that in this game, the Madrid Pirates played away from home.
There is a lot of bad luck in Yasi.
After Ion received the ball, he originally wanted to pass the ball directly, but Turias's defenders were also very smart and followed the football to press out to cause offside.
If he passes the ball directly, both Hulay and high center Ruiz will be offside.
So he paused for a moment.
The opponent's full-back immediately pounced on him.
Ion used the outside instep of his left foot to move the football toward the baseline, and then relied on his own starting speed to get rid of Turias' defender.
Even though the latter was still reaching out to pull him, he still made a pass despite the confrontation!
The football drew an arc and flew to the goal.
There, Turias's center back jumped up and tried to clear the ball, but he missed it - he couldn't judge the ball's placement accurately!
Behind him who jumped up, Hu Lai stood on the ground, even lowering his body slightly and stopping the flying football with his chest!
Then, without waiting for the football to hit the ground, he swung his feet and kicked it directly!
The football flew past the oncoming Turias defenders and headed straight for the back corner of the goal!
Turias' goalkeeper was blocked by his teammates who rushed to block the ball - he thought that after Hulay stopped the ball, he would be surrounded by his teammates.
So when he saw the football flying over, he didn't react at all.
He still reflexively made the save, but it was completely slow...
When he made the move, the football had already flown into the goal behind him!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!"
Sanchez raised his arms and shouted.
"Hu!! Hu! Hu Lai!! He finally broke his 'scoring drought' of failing to score in two consecutive games! When the team needed someone to step up the most, he stepped up! Facing the relegation goal
Team Turias, Madrid Pirates scored in the first seventeen minutes! A good start!"
And He Feng was even more excited than him:
"Hu Lai! Stop...Okay! Shot - the ball went in!!! Beautiful! Hu Lai! Hu Lai!!! Ahhhh! Hu Lai! This goal is beautiful!! So beautiful!!"
His roaring voice was hoarse.
He didn't know how Hu Lai was doing in the past few days, but as Hu Lai's staunch and loyal supporter, He Feng felt that he was under a lot of pressure.
It's not that he can't accept Hulay's defeat. As a professional, objective and rational commentator, he certainly knows that Hulay's victory cannot be maintained forever, and one day he will lose the championship. This is an inevitable law of football.
But he couldn't accept Hu Lai's failure when he was ridiculed and attacked by so many people.
Deep down in his heart, he still hopes that Hu Lai can stand up and respond to those who mock him with goals.
Because of such expectations, when He Feng saw the goal at this moment, he was naturally extremely excited.
"Hu Lai! He withstood the pressure! He scored again! That's right! There have been some voices of this and that recently, and the team and he are in trouble... But what should we do at this time? The best way to do it.
It’s about focusing on what you are good at! What is Hu Lai best at? What he is best at is scoring goals...so now...his goals are here again!"
At this point, He Feng was not done yet. He took a deep breath and continued to output with high intensity:
"So... when someone laughs at him, I hope those who laugh at him remember that the person you are laughing at has scored 105 goals in the past year! He once had 40 consecutive league games.
They all scored goals! He scored sixty goals in one season of the league! He also scored twenty-three goals in the Champions League in a single season! Almost all goals records on this planet so far,
They all have his name! How dare you... dare to laugh at him for not scoring a goal?!"
