Chapter 1869 The 'Cornerstone' of the 'Cornerstone of Champions'
Janus Edman looked out through the car window and saw the flat and low cityscape of Madrid.
The city of Madrid is located on the flat Meseta plateau, and you can see the horizon at a glance.
"This scene really seems familiar..." Edelman said with emotion.
"You're talking nonsense, we just came here twenty days ago." John Sett beside him couldn't help but complain.
Edelman laughed when he heard this, and then he asked Seth: "John, have you read the interview with Hu?"
"I saw it. Is there anyone who hasn't seen it?"
"Then what do you think? Do you think what he said is true or false?"
"Go all out? That must be true."
"No, I mean in the end, he thought being two goals behind was not too big to catch up."
John Settle thought about it and then said, "I think what he said is true."
"Really?" Edman's eyes widened, "But historical records tell us that only one team has done it since the Champions League was restructured..."
"You are talking about history, I am talking about what Hu thinks. For Hu, what he said is indeed true, unlike our head coach who is deliberately lying to make the Pirates misjudge."
Said. "Do you still expect Hu to surrender? According to historical performance, a team that is two goals behind in the semi-finals will definitely not be able to advance to the finals, so the Pirates will definitely lose this time?"
"Of course I don't mean that..." Edman waved his hands repeatedly. "I'm just curious whether Hu really believes this? They can only attack at home. Hu's scoring ability is very good. They will definitely score our goals."
But when they pressed forward with the attack, there was no space behind them, and there was no Ramirez to control the situation...Do they think our offense was bad?"
Edelman said this very confidently.
His recent state indeed supports his statement.
In the last three games, two league games and one Champions League game, he has scored a total of seven goals.
The average is more than two goals per game.
This kind of performance allowed him to completely leave Becker behind in the Bundesliga scorer list. With the last round of the league left, there is no doubt that he will win the league golden boot.
Edman also ranks second in the Champions League scorer list with 11 goals, second only to Hulay who scored 15 goals.
Considering that he was only twenty years old, this performance was simply terrifying.
No wonder the German media believe that as long as Edman is not injured, his future achievements will definitely be higher than Hulay's.
In this World Cup, Edman is also very likely to partner with Becker on the German striker, giving the German tank the most terrifying striker firepower. However, Soren Gribsch is absent due to injury, which will have a huge impact on the German national team.
The loss may be
It's hard for Edman Becker to make up for it.
The German media believes that Edman's biggest advantage over Hulay is his better physical fitness, which gives him more possibilities and a higher ceiling than Hulay.
After all, physical condition is the greatest talent and it is difficult to change through hard work.
For example, no matter how hard Hu Lai trains scientifically, it is impossible for his height to increase to 1.89 meters, right? There is absolutely no way that his weight will increase to 88 kilograms.
The advantage of Hu Lai is that it is relatively flexible.
But if he has a body as domineering as Edman, why does he need to be flexible?
On the football field, flexibility is just a choice for those who are not strong enough.
Set said to this young talent that all Germany is optimistic about: "Isn't that good? We play against each other, they can score, and we can score. And we still have two goals more than them, and the advantage is still there.
our side."
Edelman thinks Sett is right.
No matter what Julay thinks, as Parotti said, the whole world knows what the Madrid Pirates will do in the second round.
But the whole world doesn't know what Ruerrhein will do.
At that time, we will calculate whether they have the intention or not, and the Ruhr Rheinland will still have a greater chance of advancing.
Thinking of this, Edman turned to look out the window again.
He could already see the tall exterior walls of Pirates Park.
He also saw the dense crowds of people on the roadside.
Pirates fans walking to the stadium.
Wearing blue clothes, they look like flowing water.
Li Qingqing was sitting in a box at Pirates Park, looking around curiously.
"Is it any different from the boxes at Crown Stadium?" Song Jiajia asked from the side.
Hu Lai did not let Li Qingqing come to watch the game alone, but asked Song Jiajia to accompany Li Qingqing.
After all, Li Qingqing was unfamiliar with this stadium, and she might not even know how to get to her own box.
"There's no difference, everything is there." After looking at it, Li Qingqing turned his attention to the court again.
Just now, the players from both sides finished their last warm-up before the game and returned to the locker room.
Now there is no one else on the course except the staff inspecting the turf.
"Are you nervous?" Song Jiajia asked again when he saw her staring at the empty turf in a daze.
Li Qingqing nodded: "A little bit."
"Afraid the pirates will be eliminated?"
"No, I'm worried about Hu Lai getting hurt."
After Luo Kai was injured yesterday, everyone's concern for Hu Lai's health has increased by an order of magnitude. It is obviously a life and death battle for Madrid Pirates, but Chinese fans are all concerned about whether Hu Lai will be injured.
Some domestic Pirates fans even expressed that they are willing to sacrifice the Madrid Pirates in exchange for a healthy Hu Lai.
Some fans called on everyone to calm down and stop scolding Hu Lai if he really did not perform well in the game. We must understand what Hu Lai did at this time, even if he did not work hard, it was normal.
After all, no one wants to see Hu Lai injured before the World Cup.
Some people also called on Chinese fans to unite. If there are comments attacking Hu Lai abroad after losing the game, they must go out and confront them head-on. We must not let those people wantonly smear our football hero!
But both Li Qingqing and Song Jiajia know that if Hu Lai plays, there is absolutely no way that he will not work hard and he will definitely give his best.
Just like he said in the interview before the game.
Since you have to work hard, the possibility of injury is particularly high.
Song Jiajia had no way to make Li Qingqing relax, so she could only say half-jokingly: "Don't worry, that kid is a very thief, he won't be hurt that easily."
Li Qingqing sighed: "Fortunately, the opponent in this game is not a Korean team...
Song Jiajia had a question mark: "This is the Champions League, not the AFC Champions League."
"I know, I just want to blackmail the Koreans." Li Qingqing nodded.
Song Jiajia was speechless...
Kiss, kiss, kiss
Leroy Kuhn stood in the visiting team's locker room at Pirates Park and was saying to the players in front of him:
"I know that some fans and media deliberately interpreted Hu's words in the interview before the game out of fun. I admit that after being misinterpreted by them, things did become interesting. But you should
It’s very clear that today’s game is not interesting at all.”
When he said this, his expression was very serious and he didn't mean to be funny at all.
Everything stems from the last words Hu Lai said in the interview:
"It's just two balls, not too big to catch up with."
Then it was re-created by fans and media online...
Many people use secondary creation to create evil spirits.
After all, it's "just" two goals ahead...
——
Ah, yes, yes, Catalonia was "only" ahead of Tramed by two goals in the first round.
"In a sense, the nonsense is correct. With a two-goal lead, this score is very subtle. It is neither so big that it makes the Pirates lose their fighting spirit, nor is it so small that everyone can see that our victory is not
Solid...Today's game hasn't started yet, but as we all know, the Pirates' attack will be very, very fast. But we are not weak either! Believe in your own abilities, we can definitely go to Munich!"
Munich's Iron Dome is the venue for this season's Champions League final.
Kuhn told his players that they can definitely go to Munich and they can definitely reach the final.
"If Madrid Pirates think we are leading
If you score two goals first, you will be too proud to underestimate the enemy. They have an opportunity, so let them give it a try!"
In the home team's locker room at Pirates Park, Parotti had already given his final instructions before the start of the game.
He told the players to focus on the offense and not do anything that affects the offense. Don't argue with the referee, and don't be irritated by the opponent's flagrant foul and fall into the opponent's emotional trap.
If the Pirates score a goal, then everyone will go together and put the football in the center circle for Ruhrlein to kick off quickly.
If Ruhrlein scores a goal, then go and put the football in place yourself.
Wait for the referee to blow the kick-off whistle.
In this game, the Pirates' offensive firepower was squeezed to the extreme.
After Parotti finished speaking, he paused for a moment and wanted to announce the next news, but at this moment, Hu Lai couldn't wait to stand up from his seat and said to his teammates:
"I have a few words to say to everyone."
The chance of this happening to Hu Lai was very low, so when Parotti saw Hu Lai standing up, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
We can only make the people outside the door wait a little longer.
Facing a room full of teammates who were looking at him, Hu Lai said: "First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. When the team needed goals most, I failed to score in two consecutive games. In these two games, I failed to score.
The scoring games all brought bad results to the team...I failed to fulfill my responsibilities and failed everyone's expectations of me."
After he finished speaking, everyone bowed seriously.
This surprised his teammates, including Parotti.
The latter even said directly: "No, Hu. This is not your problem alone. To be responsible, it is my responsibility that is greater..."
Hu Lai shook his head and rejected the comfort from the head coach: Thank you for your kindness, sir. But I still remember what the captain said to me during halftime of last year's Champions League final. He said: "Hu Lai, go and do it for us.
Goal!, in those two most critical games, I failed to score for the team. However...here today I promise everyone, and I also promise the captain, that I will try my best to score goals! I
I'm not that all-around player, I'm not good enough in many aspects, but I'm confident in scoring goals."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and raised his head slightly, giving the impression that he was looking at people with his chin.
"I think if this game is about goals, we will win!"
"Well said! Hu! Well said!"
After Hulay said this, Kim Bella, who had been impatient for a long time, also stood up. In fact, he stood up from his seat when Hulay said it during the halftime break of last season's Champions League final.
Now he simply jumped to the center of the locker room to express his support for Hu Lai and shouted to his teammates:
"They all say that the captain is the cornerstone of the championship, and they are right! Many times before, we won the championship by standing on the captain's shoulders. But now, it is our turn to carry the captain into the finals and win the championship!
The captain is the cornerstone of the championship, and we must become the cornerstone of the captain!"
After Parotti finished his speech, Juan Ramirez, who was standing outside the door, gently put his hand on the door lock handle.
As soon as he heard Parotti calling his name, he pushed the door open and entered.
This was a "surprise" that he and the coaching staff discussed together to give his teammates.
Before this life-and-death battle, he came to the locker room as captain to cheer for his teammates.
Next, he will enter the locker room and cheer up his teammates one by one, telling them to cheer up and prepare to fight Ruhrlein.
But instead of waiting for Parotti to call his name, he heard Hu Lai mention him.
He just stood outside the door and listened quietly to the speeches of the two young people in the locker room.
Then he whispered to the second assistant coach next to him, Enzo Nacher: "Enzo."
"Huh?" Nahel responded.
"It seems there is no need for me to appear. Tell them for me that I have already booked a ticket to Munich, and I will see them there."
After saying that, he turned around and, with the support of his wife, walked slowly towards the entrance of the box.
Nacher did not stop Ramire
Si, but looked back to see him and his wife leaving.
Behind him, in the locker room across the door, were the Madrid Pirates players roaring crazily.
