Fox in the Penalty Area

Even those who are closest to Hu Lai, such as his best friends, are sometimes confused by Hu Lai, wondering whether what he said in a serious manner is true or false, right or wrong.

Not to mention Mauro Albertazzi who didn't really know Hu Lai.

For example, if you want to ask him if he deliberately created his own "Bingshan" character design, then he will definitely shake his head and deny it without hesitation, because the "Bingshan" character design is indeed not created by him.

At the beginning, he didn't think about having a calm face after every save.

It's just that some saves are really too simple for him. There is no need to blah after the save, but it seems that the opponent's shooting level is so high. Isn't this giving the opponent a face?

So Albertazzi felt that he had just completed a very simple save, and his face was calm.

In the eyes of people with good intentions, I think this matter... is very interesting.

Someone started to collect Albertazzi's calm performance after the save, and then made a collection and put it on the Internet.

Named: "Iceberg Albertazzi"

Albertazzi was not an unknown person. From the youth team to the professional team, he was a super talent that everyone paid attention to.

So anything about him is in the limelight.

Soon everyone noticed this video, and was shocked and fascinated by the way Albertazzi got up from the ground with a calm face after every save in the video highlights.

It is not uncommon to make wonderful saves, but after making wonderful saves, he can still remain calm and calm, which does not match his age at all...it is very unusual.

As the video spread, more and more troublemakers began to look for those wonderful saves made by Albertazzi with a calm face.

It really made them find a lot.

More and more videos emerged, each with the hashtag "iceberg".

Over time, "Iceberg" became Mauro Albertazzi's nickname and logo.

Albertazzi may not have intended to create such a character at first.

But when more and more people began to call him that, he thought... this nickname was pretty good too.

So he began to move closer to becoming an "iceberg", intentionally or unintentionally.

The character design was not created by him, but he continued the character design.

So you think Hu Lai is talking nonsense?

But in the mind of the person concerned, Albertazzi, he was really told that his mind was on his mind.

He is indeed trying to maintain the "iceberg" personality.

In the past, after making a wonderful save, he would raise his arms and shout to cheer for himself and his teammates.

But ever since he recognized the nickname "Bingshan", he deliberately suppressed his impulse. No matter what the save, he will be deliberately deadpan.

On the one hand, he thinks it's cool to be an "iceberg", on the other hand, he doesn't want to disappoint the media and fans who call him "iceberg".

So he really isn't really an "iceberg".

He really couldn't keep his inner peace without the slightest fluctuation.

But is there anything wrong with this approach?

nor.

In life, no matter who is more or less, someone will set it up. Whether it's intentional or intentional.

It's not a big deal, and there's nothing wrong with it.

But when Hu Lai said it like that...it seemed to be a fatal problem.

Albertazzi didn't know whether Hou Lai was right or not. He felt that Hou Lai was right logically. But emotionally, he felt that what Hu Lai said was wrong.

He frowned deeply.

※※※

Hu Lai, who had already run out of the door, looked back at Albertazzi again. Seeing his thoughtful look, he covered his mouth and lowered his head to laugh.

From the moment the two sides shook hands and heard Albertazzi's words before the start of the game, Hou Lai felt that he had an opportunity to take advantage of this game.

In order to make the opportunities bigger and more, he added another fire.

His words are certainly exaggerated,

But the core essence is fine.

That is, he thinks that Albertazzi is not as stable as people say, nor is he as calm and calm as he was in an interview after the last round of the league.

It can even be said that his heart is on fire, so does it look like an "iceberg"?

He was excited, boiling, and burning, but neither ice nor cold.

To talk about Hu Lai, I have to thank Wang Guangwei.

Because after hearing Albertazzi's words, he immediately thought of Wang Guangwei.

In high school, Wang Guangwei was known as the most stable central defender in Anton High School, and even high schools in the country. He was mature, reliable and impeccable.

For him, who was still a rookie at the time, Wang Guangwei was like Albertazzi today, an almost insurmountable mountain.

In particular, the character set of "no one can mess with his hair" has been widely spread, and it has almost become an undefeated myth.

How similar is it to Albertazzi's expressionless "Iceberg" terrier after every save?

But in fact, it can be seen from Wang Guangwei's big-backed head at that time that he was not as stable as he designed. The big-backed head of this mountain and beach boss showed Wang Guangwei's naive side.

The reason is very simple - what is lacking to show off.

In other words, the more these external means are used to create legends, the more it shows that he is different from the legends.

Hu Lai messed up Wang Guangwei's hair with his hands, and also messed up his heart - Hu Lai noticed when Wang Guangwei pushed him to the ground.

And now he could also see from Alberta Qi's thoughtful expression that the "iceberg" had melted.

In the case of Albertazzi, the confusion had serious consequences.

Because he is not only the last line of defense for Ferencz, but also the source of confidence for this team.

※※※

Shan Daosheng noticed that Wang Guangwei next to him was suddenly agitated, but at this moment, he quickly regained his composure.

This made him a little strange, so he asked, "What's the matter, Guangwei?"

"Uh, it's nothing, Uncle Shan..." Wang Guangwei shook his head in denial.

Shan Daosheng obviously felt the change in Wang Guangwei, but since the other party didn't admit it, he obviously didn't want to say it.

Then he didn't ask any more.

He nodded and continued to watch the Europa League live broadcast.

Wang Guangwei heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, Uncle Shan is a fastidious person and didn't break the casserole to ask the end.

Otherwise, how should I answer?

Said that he suddenly saw a certain sense of déjà vu in Albertazzi, who kept a straight face every time he made a save?

If Uncle Shan asks again, what is the sense of sight?

That would be a long story.

That has to start from my high school days...

It was related to a dark past that made him a little embarrassed.

At that time, my childish and ridiculous self... worked hard to create this setting that no one could mess with his hair, as if relying on this setting, he could perform well in the game.

But in the end, it was easily broken by that kid Hu Lai!

No matter how delicate the hairstyle is, it will become messy if you fiddle with it with your hands. This is common sense.

But when it comes to the game field, everyone's thinking seems to be fixed, and no one would think of messing with the opponent's hair with their hands.

As if football matters can only be resolved through football.

But this unspoken rule doesn't work on that kid Hu Lai!

So when Wang Guangwei saw Hu Lai running to speak in front of Albertazzi during two consecutive corner kicks, he became excited.

He felt that Hu Lai should also understand this truth...

So, there is a door!

Hu Lai has a goal in this game!

Thinking of this, Wang Guangwei still couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and said: "Uncle Shan, I think Hu Lai will score in this game..."

Shan Daosheng turned his head and looked at Wang Guangwei in surprise, but nodded without asking why.

Leeds City's fifth corner kick in the game did not pose any threat to Ferencz's goal.

Hu Lai didn't even grab the landing point, and the football was directly pushed out of the bottom line by Ben Grist.

It was Ferenc's turn to attack.

But their whole team is not focused on offense, so the offense is very sloppy.

It is difficult to threaten Leeds City's goal by relying on two wings.

Soon the ball changed hands.

When the football returned to the feet of the Leeds City players, all the players of Ferencz took it back like an ebb tide.

People always use "mercury pouring down the ground" to describe the team's offensive advancement is smooth and beautiful, and it is done in one go, which makes people watch happily.

And I'm afraid few people would have thought that the idiom "mercury pouring into the ground" could still be used to describe the scene where Ferencci retreated...

When the Leeds City players passed the football to the frontcourt, they faced another complete wall of iron and steel.

When Jay Adams had the ball, Ferenc striker Gouvillon Riddick ran up to press him.

Adams passed the ball to Pete Williams, and Riddick turned and ran towards Williams, seemingly not caring more than physical strength.

Don't underestimate the running and pressing of the Dutch striker on the first line of defense. It can also create huge psychological pressure on the Leeds City players who hold the ball, making them unable to observe carefully and carefully organize the attack...

Of course, neither Adams nor Williams would be overwhelmed by Riesdick's interception.

Williams sees Riesdick turn back towards him and passes the ball back to Adams again.

Adams did not stop the ball, but directly passed the ball diagonally to the left back Farrek Quinn on the left lane.

After receiving the ball, Quinn didn't continue to dribble forward—he made a gesture of dribbling the ball, but suddenly stopped after receiving the ball, taking this opportunity to throw away Ferenc's right midfielder Fabio Montesano.

After shaking the angle, Quinn didn't dare to neglect, kicked a cross!

The football flew into the penalty area of ​​Ferencz.

Lorenzo leaps high to fight for the top of the opposing centre-back Jacob Dvořák.

He failed to hit the football, and Dvořák headed the ball outside the penalty area.

At the top of the free throw arc outside the penalty area, Pete Williams rushed up to compete with Ferenc's German midfielder Henry Schlitter, and he pushed the football to the side.

Jay Adams receives the ball and then distributes the ball to Kamara in the half.

Kamara took the ball to face the defender, first pretended to cut inside, and then suddenly changed his direction to drill into the penalty area.

Andriano Mandelli, Ferencz's right-back, stuck up and stuck inside, denying Kamara a chance to go inside.

After all, the threat level of cutting inside and bottoming out is different.

Kamara was forced to go to the baseline.

The only good news is that because in the penalty area, Ferenc's defensive players are somewhat cautious and dare not make a move. But Kamara also has other things to do-Manderley is stuck inside, and it is impossible for him to break through. The space is too small, and breaking through means losing the ball.

When Kamara was forced near the bottom line, he really had no choice but to cross!

Mandeli guessed that he would make a cross, and what he was waiting for was this one, and he stretched out his foot to block it!

The football hit his calf against the bone, jumped up, and flew towards the front of the goal...

There, Hou Lai, who had moved ahead of time, was already stuck in front of Serafini. He was opening his arms and leaning back slightly, trying to squeeze against the latter to prevent him from regaining his position.

Serafini keeps pushing Hou Lai forward from behind. As long as he is a little bit weak, he will be squeezed away from his current position... So Hou Lai must devote all his energy to physical confrontation, so it will be difficult for him Then have the energy to do other things.

Like...shooting.

The contest between Hu Lai and Serafini was actually very short. In the blink of an eye, the football flew over.

I saw Hu Lai, who was fighting with Serafini, raised his right foot, as if to catch the ball.

But in this way, he only has one left foot still standing on the ground, supporting his body.

However, Serafini did not take this opportunity to continue to exert pressure. Instead, he stuck firmly behind Hou Lai without making any stronger moves.

He was worried that if he tried harder, if Hu Lai fell down and the referee called him a foul, wouldn't it be a loss?

For him now, doing nothing is actually the best choice.

Because Hu Lai's back was facing the attacking direction and it was still at a small angle, it was no longer possible to shoot.

It's good if he can stop the ball.

It's just that in the current situation, what's the use of him even stopping?

Serafini, whose sight was blocked by Hou Lai's body, did not see Hou Lai's next move, otherwise he would not really be stuck behind Hou Lai and do nothing...

Hu Lai raised his right foot but did not stop the ball. Instead, he directly knocked the football that was about to land to the goal behind him with his heel!

Albertazzi blocked the shot angle at the front point, and seeing Serafeneca behind Hou Lai, he began to scan the situation around Hou Lai-he had to beware that Hou Lai would pass the football to the nearby Leeds City players, and then It's up to them to finish the shot.

After scanning, he turned his attention back to Hu Lai.

In addition to passing the ball to his teammates, Albertazzi had to guard against another possibility.

That is, Hu Lai will shoot directly.

This sounds unbelievable-how does Hou Lai complete the shot when his back is turned to the goal and he is still defended by the central defender?

But Albertazzi never underestimated Hou Lai, he thought it was possible for Hou Lai to shoot.

Like... with your heels.

So he lowered his center of gravity, looked between Serafini's legs, and saw that after Hu Lai lifted his right foot, he didn't stop the ball!

Instead, hit the ball with one heel!

The football that landed came from under Serafini's crotch!

Alberta Qi's center of gravity sank quickly, ready to fall to the ground to catch the ball!

But then his eyes widened, his body tilted, and he didn't fall down.

what did he see

After the football came under Serafini's crotch, it didn't roll against the turf, but jumped up, drew a parabola, and passed by Albertazzi's side...!

The height is just about the top of his head.

Due to inertia, Albertazzi was completely unable to react.

He could only turn his head and watch the football leap past him...

And crashing into the goal behind him...
