Fox in the Penalty Area

"Leeds City is going to make a substitution! With the team behind, Tony Clark decided to replace Hu who was resting on the bench..."

When Matthew Cox said this, the Houlai people were standing next to the fourth official on the sidelines. The fourth official held up the sign for the substitution, signaling No. 9 Lorenzo Esposito to leave the field, and No. 14 Hu Lai is going to play.

There was deafening cheers and applause over the Flanders Stadium.

Looking around, the Leeds City fans in the stands stood up and applauded.

They were supposed to be applauding captain Lorenzo Esposito who was substituted.

As a great contributor to the team's breakthrough, captain Lorenzo has been diligent, low-key and humble in the team, and is loved by others.

Fans love him too.

Although he didn't have a decent performance in this game, the fans still gave him applause.

After Lorenzo handed over high-fives to Hou Lai who was waiting for him on the sidelines, Hou Lai ran on the field, and he himself returned to the bench.

Cheers from the stands replaced applause.

Francis, who was sitting in the box, looked at the Leeds City fans in the stands below.

It was determined that their cheers were for Hu Lai.

If you don't watch the game and just listen to the cheers, you will definitely think that Leeds City scored an equalizer...

Obviously, Hou Lai enjoys a very high status in this stadium.

He doesn't have to do anything, just show his face, and thirty thousand people can fall for him.

This is not unusual.

With his performance, it would be strange if there was no such treatment in Leeds City - of course, Francis would like this, because it would mean that Hou Lai would easily leave Leeds City.

Now...he has to think about whether the Leeds City Club can withstand the pressure of the fans and let Hu Lai go.

But in general, Francis is not very worried about this issue.

Because there has never been a precedent that the club will really not sell someone if the fans protest not to sell it.

Even if some are temporarily successful, they will still be sold in the end.

Although professional football cannot lack fans, many times, many things are really not the fans' final say.

As long as the price is right, there is no one that the King of Madrid can't take!

When Hu Lai came on the field, it was a dead ball opportunity formed by Leeds City's throw-in in the frontcourt.

After he was replaced, he ran straight to Tramed's penalty area, and then greeted Tramed's Brazilian central defender Luis Payson in the penalty area: "Have you eaten, brother?"

Payson:? ? ?

Seeing this, Hu Lai smiled again: "It's okay, you go and do your work, don't worry about me."

"Why don't I care about you? I'm in charge of defending you, Hu." Payson said in a deep voice.

"Ah? Really?" Hu Lai showed a look of surprise, and then asked, "Brother, guess, will I pass the ball to Lasky this time?"

Payson didn't expect that Hu Lai would mention this matter, and he reflexively cast a glance in the direction of Lasky. At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, Hu Lai suddenly rushed forward!

See the fucking ghosts!

Payson hastily chased after him, and stretched out his hand to interfere.

But he didn't catch Hu Lai, because Hu Lai suddenly stopped and retreated...just passing him!

At the same time he saw the football flying in from the wing!

The hasty and continuous changes in the center of gravity made it impossible for him to take off at this moment, so he could only stand still and turn his head to watch the football fly over his head and fly behind... Hu Lai!

Holly has taken off!

He didn't have a Tramed player in front, behind or around - Scott Wilson was on point before the seal, right back Joseba Iglesias was guarding Lasky, they handed Holly to Payson, In the end, Payson lost Hu Lai!

"Hu--!!"

Seeing Hu Lai jumping in the gap, the cheers in the stands of the Flanders Stadium could no longer be controlled.

Hu Lai in the air shakes his head against the flying football and attacks the goal!

too close,

Trammed's goalkeeper Tom Walker had no time to react, he could only stand on the goal line, turned his head and watched the football fly into the goal...

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

"It's his first touch of the ball since he came on! First touch! It's only been 20 seconds since he was brought on... after knocking down the 'iceberg' Albertazzi with a 'hat-trick' , Hu's form is very good! He equalized for Leeds City!!"

※※※

When Hu Lai scored, Francis was so surprised that he stood up directly from his seat.

He was totally unprepared, this Hu Lai could score with the first touch of the ball...

Although I have followed Hu Lai for a long time, I have also watched some of his live broadcasts, such as the last Leeds away game against Ferenc.

But when Francis sat down to watch Hu Lai's game for the first time, he realized something that was not reflected in those TV broadcasts...

He looked very relaxed after he came on the field.

For him, he has just participated in a Europa League life-and-death match, and then returned to the league, even when facing a strong opponent like Tramed, he behaved as if he was on vacation.

Relaxation may be an important reason why he can quickly enter the state after playing and exert 100% energy.

This kid...has a big heart!

For the super-rich King of Madrid, who is always under the spotlight and observed with a magnifying glass, it is perfect!

Because the King of Madrid fans are very demanding. For other teams, being able to play at home means glory and huge support.

But for the players of the King of Madrid... playing at home often means heavy pressure.

Because your performance is slightly unsatisfactory, you will hear unceremonious boos from the home fans, and the local media will criticize your performance in lengthy articles, amplifying your every move on the court and even in life.

Without a strong psychological capacity, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the King of Madrid.

And now, according to his observation, Hu Laicha has a capital that can gain a foothold in the King of Madrid!

Hou Lai's goal after coming off the bench helped Leeds City finally draw 1:1 with Tramed at home.

This result is a completely acceptable result for Leeds City, which doesn't care much about league results.

Tramed doesn't think so...

Because they were thinking of revenge.

This season, the two sides played against each other for the first time in the league, in the fourteenth round.

Coincidentally, Leeds City had just finished a European game at that time. They beat Catalan United 3:2 away, and Hu Lai scored a hat-trick in that game.

Now, Leeds City has just finished a Europa League match, also away, beating Ferenc 3:0, Hu Lai once again staged a hat-trick.

In the last confrontation, Hu Lai scored one goal and two assists in the game, helping Leeds City beat Tramed 3:2 in the away game, defeating the "Scarlet Witch"'s desire for revenge at home.

At the same time, it further intensified the hatred between Leeds City and Tramed, two teams that have their own regional grievances.

So this time Tramed's away challenge to Leeds City is still the same goal-to defeat Leeds City.

As a result, who would have thought that Hou Lai scored the goal with the first touch of the ball after coming off the bench, and Tramed's desire for revenge fell through again.

"It seems that Tramed wants to succeed in revenge and can only wait for another season..." Matthew Cox joked at the end of the game.

The Leeds fans chanted to the Tramed fans in the away stands at the end of the game:

"Whosyourdaddy?! Whosyourdaddy?! Whosyourdaddy?!"

"WHO?! WHO?! WHO?!"

"Husyourdaddy!! Husyourdaddy!! Husyourdaddy!!!"

"HU!! HU!!! HU!!!"

After shouting, they laughed at Tramed fans collectively.

This is also because the previous video was so popular on the Internet, so all Leeds City fans remembered this slogan.

I believe that in future games, Leeds City fans will inevitably greet visiting fans like this.

Francis walked into the Leeds dressing room after the game.

Leeds City players are very enthusiastic about Francis' visit. After all, he is a legend. Louis Francis, one of the four kings, is the idol of many players! Everyone rushed to shake hands with Francis, and Francis would chat with them and praise their performance.

Although Francis has an official identity as the ambassador of the King of Madrid, there is no conflict between Leeds City and the King of Madrid. If Francis is the representative of Catalan United, maybe everyone will be embarrassed...

If the current situation is embarrassing, it may only be embarrassing when Francis and Hu Lai meet.

But when Francis actually met Hu Lai, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Your performance impresses me, Hu." As soon as we met, Francis opened his arms.

Hu Lai has been playing football abroad for so long, how could he not understand what this means, so he leaned over and hugged Francis, and exchanged greetings: "Thank you, Mr. Francis, thank you!"

"It's amazing to score a goal with the first touch of the ball after being replaced." Francis gave a thumbs up and kept praising Hu Lai.

Hu Lai smiled and said, "Hey, good luck, good luck..."

"That's not luck." Francis smiled and shook his head. "You're an anomaly in today's football, huh. But I'm glad there's an anomaly like you. You've restored the center back to what it was...a job well done !congratulations!"

Hu Lai humbly accepted all of Francis' praise.

Perhaps because of his knowledge after playing football abroad, Hu Lai did not show any shyness and cowardice when facing Francis. Although standing in front of him is Louis Francis, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings", he is a living legend.

Instead, he thought about it wildly, and thought of Brother Huan, who is known as "Francis of China".

So he took the initiative to ask Francis for a group photo: "Can I take a photo with you, Mr. Francis?"

Francis was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Hu Lai was quite calm before, and finally showed his fan side...

But he didn't refuse, it was a good thing for him, he nodded again and again: "Of course, no problem!"

"That's great!" Hu Lai handed the phone to Morikawa Junpei next to him, and the staff next to him also raised the phone. This can be regarded as a glorious moment for Hu Lai and Leeds City...

Francis took the initiative to hug Hu Lai's shoulders, and the two were close together, looking very intimate.

In this way, in the dressing room of Leeds City, Hou Lai, who was naked from the upper body, and Francis, who was in a suit and leather shoes, completed a group photo.

And before leaving, Francis did not say that half-joking sentence to Hu Lai.
