Fox in the Penalty Area

"Albertazzi is a monster..."

In the restaurant of the Amsterdam Athletic Training Base, Danny Drew was looking at his mobile phone while sighing to Chen Xingyi who was sitting opposite him.

"Is the Europa League still hot?" Chen Xingyi asked.

Ever since Albertazzi made an astonishing 18 saves against Leeds in the Europa League, European football has been talking about it all weekend.

Albertazzi is not considered famous in the first battle, because he has already become famous.

Everyone knows that he is a young talent, and he is the most likely to succeed Andrew Burnie in Italy. But even so, everyone was still surprised by his performance in that game.

Because Albertazzi's performance has gone beyond the category of "genius player".

Even those top goalkeepers, no one can create such a record.

But for the Chinese, last week when Albertazzi shined was a sad week.

First of all, in the league, Wang Guangwei became a stepping stone for Albertazzi at the last moment, and then in the Europa League, it was Hu Lai's turn to serve as a foil for Albertazzi.

In this crazy week of Alberta, all the victims were Chinese players.

So don't say that Leeds City fans are upset, Chinese fans are also upset.

Chen Xingyi, who is also a player in Europe, is naturally a little upset - don't look at him usually mocking Hu Lai in the group, but if he really encounters a foreign enemy, he will be unanimous. These overseas players are a whole, all prosperous and all lost.

"No, Albertazzi has another clean sheet in the league this weekend, and the opponent is the Turin Bulls where he will go to next season. Caesar took nine shots in a single game and failed to score... relying on Albertazzi's With zero seals, Ferencz actually won! Some fans of the Torino Bulls joked that they should have signed the avoidance clause of Albertazi when the Torino Bulls and Ferencz signed the contract..."

Chen Xingyi knew why Drew said that just now.

It is not uncommon to have zero seals in three consecutive games. Even Albertazzi himself has had more than three consecutive zero seals against opponents.

But at this time, these three consecutive games with zero seals can explain the problem-it shows that Albertazzi's recent state is particularly good.

This is not good news for Hou Lai and Leeds City.

No one can guarantee that their form will always be excellent, not even Albertazzi.

But he doesn't have to be good all the time, he just needs to maintain his form in these two weeks.

With his excellent form, he can eliminate Leeds City.

As for whether Ferencz can go further in the Europa League after eliminating Leeds City...does anyone care?

Seeing Chen Xingyi's uneasy expression, Danny Drew patted him on the shoulder: "Leeds City's luck is too bad, the Europa League is indeed more suitable for Ferencz and Albertazzi to play. If it weren't for Ferencz, I'm really optimistic about them reaching the final..."

Chen Xingyi seemed to have something to say, but in the end he still didn't say it, just shook his head slightly.

※※※

"... I'm happy to be able to use my own strength to help Ferencz win the game...Leeds City? I won't talk about the opponent until the game is over. All I have to do is give it my all, no matter who the opponent is... ..."

The tall and tall Albertazzi stood in front of the camera, facing the microphone in the reporter's hand, bowed his head slightly and said.

He was interviewed by reporters after the game against the Turin Bulls, because he had zero opponents in three consecutive games, especially after setting a record in the last Europa League game, he became the focus of media pursuit.

"Records? Records are in the past tense. I will look forward. Thank you."

After answering the reporters' questions very simply, he walked towards the locker room.

The Italian TV reporter who interviewed him turned around and said to the camera: "It can be seen that Albertazzi is very calm now,

He's not getting carried away with his recent good form. That's good news, because we were all worried he'd get carried away after a string of clean sheets...but right now, that's the utterance of a player not yet in his twenties. It is not surprising that this happened to Albertazzi..."

"Hu Lai, what is he talking about?" Morikawa Junping turned to look at Hu Lai and asked.

Hu Lai picked up the remote control, muted the TV, and explained to Junpei Morikawa: "To put it simply...it means that we can't beat Ferencz in the next game."

Junpei Morikawa frowned when he heard this: "Arrogance! It's as if they have already won!"

"Don't pay too much attention to the words of the media reporters, Morikawa. They are professional pickers. If they are objective and peaceful, they will not make money." Hu Lai waved his hand.

"Not only the media... There are too many idiots on the Internet!"

After the first round match between Leeds City and Ferencz, Junpei Morikawa naturally learned about the behavior of the Italian media and fans on the Internet.

In fact, do you want to say that the Italian media and fans have any prejudice against Hu Lai?

Not really.

In the past, the two sides had no intersection at all, and there was no grievance.

In fact, Hou Lai can be regarded as lying to a certain extent-because Italian fans and the media were unhappy with the English media and fans, and blamed Hou Lai.

They spoofed Leeds City, so how could Hou Lai, the top scorer of Leeds City, be absent?

In fact, Italian fans not only made a video of Hu Lai being "taught to be a man" by Albertazzi, but also made a video highlight of Albertazzi's game against the entire Leeds City, including all 18 of his saves, and took a very Domineering name "one person VS one team".

It's just that Hu Lai is famous, so he gets more attention.

Besides, forwards and goalkeepers have always been rivals. Of course, the contest between these two people is the most eye-catching.

But Morikawa Junping will still be very upset.

Fight for Hu Lai.

He thinks Hou Lai is not getting the respect he deserves.

Of course Hu Lai knew what Junpei Morikawa was thinking, he patted the other person on the head: "Don't worry about me."

Then he patted his heart again, and signaled to Junpei Morikawa, "Big heart, man!"

Junpei Morikawa was a little disappointed: "I'm sorry I can't help you..."

He is a full-time defensive midfielder, and he really couldn't play a role in the game against Ferencz. In the first round of the match between the two sides, Junpei Morikawa started and was replaced just after the first half.

Because Clark found that there was no need for midfield defense at all, Ferencz's offense could not threaten Leeds City's goal. Letting Junpei Morikawa stay on the court is tantamount to wasting a position.

So he was replaced by Jack Walsh.

Then Clark puts on Charlie Potter, puts on Lorenzo... all offensive options.

It turned out to be of no use.

It just couldn't open Albertazzi's goal.

Hu Lai rubbed Morikawa Junpei's hair: "Don't worry, Morikawa. There is no goalkeeper in this world who will never lose the ball. No matter how high the mountain is, there are people who can climb it."

Morikawa Junpei nodded and said nothing.

He knew in his heart that Hu Lai said "don't worry" and "don't worry", as if he was "under control". But in fact, he must be nervous and under a lot of pressure.

How can I see it?

Because when Hu Lai comforted him just now, he was comforting him very seriously...

In order not to put further pressure on Hu Lai, Morikawa Junping chose to pretend to believe Hu Lai's words.

Louis Francis took out his mobile phone and booked himself a ticket to Leeds, England next Sunday.

He then sent an email to the Leeds City club's communications department.

Tell the other party that I hope to go to the scene to watch the game between Leeds City and Tramed.

Generally speaking, as a famous and legendary figure in football, Francis will not refuse to watch any team's game live, even if it is the Madrid King's mortal enemies Madrid Pirates and Catalan United.

For the Leeds City club, this is even an honor.

So if there is no accident, maybe tomorrow at the latest, Francis will get a reply and permission from the Leeds City Club.

Then he was able to go to Leeds City to watch their game against Tramed in a private capacity, and then go to the dressing room after the game to say hello to the Leeds City players and have a few chats with Leeds City manager Tony Clarke. In other words, to compliment his great achievements in leading the team to the Premier League championship last season.

In the end, of course, I met Hu Lai, praised his performance, and regretted that he was eliminated from the Europa League. Then half-jokingly asked him if he would like to come to Madrid King.

Even if this is done.

He didn't need Hu Lai to answer him on the spot. He only needed to have this sentence. At the moment when Leeds City had just been eliminated from the Europa League and missed the UEFA Champions League next season, this sentence was like knocking a hole in Hu Lai's heart. prick.

In the end, at a certain point, a spiritual storm was triggered.

He will realize that only the king of Madrid can satisfy all his ambitions.

Francis did not wait until tomorrow, he soon received a reply from the Leeds City club.

Leeds City Club were pleasantly surprised and honored by the visit of the legendary Louis Francis. Not just next Sunday, they welcome Francis to visit the Leeds City club whenever it is convenient for him.

In order to keep in touch and communicate with Francis, they also left a special phone number, which is the contact information of the club's general manager Eric Duffy.

Seeing the email, Francis smiled.

The task is about to be completed.
