Fox in the Penalty Area

"Hu-Lai-! I know it, ha! I know it!"

Spanish TV commentator Alvarez Sanchez laughed in the studio.

When he said this, Hu Lai on the screen had just finished his iconic celebration.

"Hu scored again! His goal helped the Madrid Pirates lead Real Steele 2-0 away! This is his fifth consecutive La Liga goal! I don't know if he has a chance to break Rivero in 2003-2004. The record for consecutive goals scored in the Madrid Pirates this season..."

Former Uruguayan striker Augustine Rivero played for the Madrid Pirates at the turn of the century. He played for the Madrid Pirates for five seasons and helped the team score 128 goals in all competitions, ranking Madrid. The 10th place in the history of the pirate club scorer list.

The record Sanchez mentioned was set by Rivero in the 2003-2004 season. He scored eight consecutive league rounds that season and scored a total of eleven goals.

Of course, this is only the record of consecutive goals in the Madrid Pirates.

The record of consecutive goals in the history of La Liga belongs to the archenemy of the Madrid Pirates-the Madrid Kings.

The creator is the current captain of the Madrid Kings, one of the "four kings" Alexandra Cerrados. He was created in the 2022-2023 season, scoring 25 goals in 17 consecutive league rounds.

Hulai currently scored eight goals in five consecutive La Liga rounds.

It is not difficult to surpass Rivero to become the record of consecutive goals in the Madrid Pirates team.

But it is very difficult to break Cerrados's record of 25 goals in 17 games.

Completing this record is really indispensable for both strength and good luck.

As strong as Maxi Carey at his peak, he did not even break Rivero's record-he scored ten goals in six consecutive games, and his scoring efficiency was higher than that of Rivero, but he broke the record. It's useless.

With Hule and Tonini's goals, the Madrid Pirates finally defeated Real Steele 2:0 away.

They and Catalonia United have so far maintained a full victory in the league, with 15 points, but because the goal difference is not as much as Catalonia, they are temporarily ranked second.

Real Cateron, who was in third place, tied with Samir Sports in this round and was surpassed by the Madrid Kings who defeated Getafe 1326 in this round. Meli scored twice and scored six goals in the league, chasing Hu Lai on the scorer list.

The top three in La Liga have returned to the state of being dominated by the "Sanxiong".

Sarria, who has been in good shape since the start of the new season, ranked fourth this time.

After a bitter battle at home in this round of the league, they defeated Biscay 3:2.

Zhang Qinghuan did not score a goal in this round of the league, but had an assist and performed quite well.

And not only did he perform well in the league, he also performed well in the Europa League group stage that started last week.

In the first round of the Europa League group stage, Sarria's opponent was the Budapest Youth Team. In this game, Sarria shook hands with his opponent 1:1 at home.

But if it weren't for Zhang Qinghuan's assist in the 78th minute of the game, perhaps Sarria would have capsized at home.

Judging from the performance in the league and the Europa League, Sarria’s goal this season should be to pursue the results in the league first, the Europa League... Of course it is good to be able to achieve results, but if you can’t, it doesn’t matter. Don’t strive for it. .

In fact, the same is true. Before the start of the new season, Sarria’s goal for the team was to qualify for the European War in the league, while the Europa League did not put forward specific requirements.

Obviously, after a UEFA Europa League team was relegated once, Sarria’s top club leaders learned their lesson.

Knowing what is fundamental-of course, the league results.

Going further in the Europa League can certainly make a lot of money, but if you are relegated from the league, the economic loss is probably not enough to participate in the Europa League twice.

After playing the game against Real Steele, next Tuesday is the league again.

In this game Parotti is ready to rotate the team's starting lineup.

It's not that the team's physical fitness is not enough to cope with a week's doubles. After all, the Madrid Pirates have just finished their summer training, and the physical fitness is no problem.

The main reason for the rotation is the seventh round of the league next Saturday.

That was the first Madrid derby of the season.

The Madrid Pirates will challenge the Madrid Kings away.

In order to play this game well, the main players must be fully rested.

After playing the Madrid King's city derby, the next is the away challenge to Leeds City in the Champions League group stage.

The schedule is not only intensive, but also important competitions.

Only with Pamplona, ​​currently ranked 18th in the league, the Madrid Pirates can rotate.

"But there is a problem, Ettore." First assistant coach **** Valentine said to Parrotti, "Does Hu want to rotate?"

Parotti heard this question and did not give an answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

He knew why his assistant would ask this question.

It stands to reason that Hu Lai, as the team's current top scorer, is very important. It must be ensured that there will be no problems with his physical condition.

Therefore, it is normal to arrange for Hulai to rest during the game against Pamplona.

But this very normal thing still has differences in the coaching staff.

Some people worry that if Hu Lai is allowed to rest a game, it will interrupt his current scoring momentum.

You must know that he has scored eight goals in five games and scored in every game. What if the scoring momentum happens to be broken in the same city derby with the Madrid Kings when this round is rested?

There are also people who worry that Hu Lai will be allowed to rest at this time, and Hu Lai will not do it himself.

Although I don’t know if Hulay can definitely break Augustine Rivero’s consecutive goals record, but with this momentum, asking him to rotate, doesn’t it mean letting him give up the opportunity to break the record?

Will Hu Lai accept such an arrangement?

Since joining the team, Hu Lai's character is very talkative and does not cause trouble. But who doesn't have a temper yet?

Can't run to ask Hu Lai "Do you care about the consecutive scoring record? If you don't care, take a break"?

How could it be possible!

In the end Parrotti turned his attention to the team's fitness coach Diego Morales: "Has the physical test report come out?"

Before the start of each game, a physical test will be conducted on the players to obtain their physical condition.

If you do not pass the physical test, you cannot participate in the competition. If the physical fitness has not fully recovered, it may be placed on the bench list.

Morales nodded: "Come out. As before, Hu's stamina is 100% okay. He seems to have never played a game against Royal Steele..."

The rest of the coaching staff couldn't help but exclaim.

This was not the first time, but when they saw Hu Lai's amazing and outstanding physical recovery ability again, they still felt incredible.

In the physical test before each game, Hu Lai's physical fitness was very good.

At that time, the physical fitness coach Morales noticed one thing and talked to Hu Lai specifically. The latter told him that his physical fitness recovery speed is different from that of ordinary people, and it can be regarded as a kind of talent.

But at that time, even though Hu Lai's physical performance was good, it was not too exaggerated. Some players with good physical fitness can do it too.

But since returning to the club after participating in the national team game, the team has been in double matches for a week.

Under such circumstances, Hu Lai's physical fitness is still among the best in every physical test.

This has to make people surprised-is Hu Lai's physical fitness already so good?

There are only three or four days between each game, and there is a rush to and fro between the two ends of the Eurasian continent, which did not affect his physical recovery...

In the end, Parotti made a decision: "Let him start, but he needs to be replaced in advance."

Hearing that, Valentine wrote Hu Lai's name into the starting list.

There are not many names on this list. The candidates for most positions have not yet been finalized, and they have to be decided based on the two days of training.

"Hu Lai, if your head coach tells you to rest in Pamplona, ​​what would you do?"

During dinner, Li Qingqing asked Hu Lai such a question.

"I will talk to him alone, hoping that he will change his mind."

"I thought you would accept the head coach's arrangement... So would you accidentally talk about the record-breaking thing?" Li Qingqing asked Hu Lai with wide-eyed eyes.

"Of course, I want to break the record." Hu Lai nodded honestly. "If I can, I would like to break the Cerrados record. But what I want to break the most is Rivero's record of eight consecutive goals. I feel that I have been in a good state recently, and I want to put it in this state Continue."

In fact, there is another important reason why Hu Lai didn't tell Li Qingqing because he couldn't tell.

That is, he still has system tasks...

After he scored six goals in three games, he received the task issued by the system:

"Task: Please try to maintain the momentum of scoring goals in each round of the league, the longer the better. The task reward: Determined according to the final degree of completion. Each additional round of league points will increase by 50,000, [Powerful Smart Potion] × 1. Current progress : 6/unknown"

This was the first task he received after his transfer to the Madrid Pirates.

Now Hu Lai has become accustomed to the mysterious mission system, or in other words, has lost everything.

This task depends entirely on the mood of the system. UU reading www.uukanshu.com will release the task to you when you are in a good mood. If you are in a bad mood, you can stay silent for several months.

Although with Hu Lai's current ability, the system can only assist him-when he first came to this world and was a football rookie, the system was very important to him. At that time, he didn't have system help, and it would be difficult for him to make any progress.

But now, how to say, I have received so many years of training in a professional team.

At present, the most obvious thing that the system makes him perceive is the [Physical Strength Potion] and various training scrolls.

[Lover’s Red String] has become a permanent item, worn on his wrist, and does not need to spend 10,000 points to redeem each game.

[Broken Giant Bear Legguards] and [Lingshi Card] are very useful, but they are not needed in every game.

Despite this, Hu Lai still wants to complete the task, hoping to have more tasks.

Because he needs to accumulate enough points.

These points are mainly used in national team games, such as the key game of the World Cup qualifiers, or simply the World Cup races.

Those places are where he needs the system most.

Li Qingqing naturally doesn't think about the system-she can't even think of her boyfriend having a relationship if she wants to break her head-but she also understands Hu Lai's urgency.

Who would think that there are fewer goals?

Who will hesitate when it is possible to set a new record?

So she said: "I'll help you practice your left foot after I finish reviewing in a while. You must be the target of the public now, and the opponent will definitely defend against your right foot. If you shoot with your left foot as soon as possible at this time, you will be fine. Increase the difficulty for the opponent to defend you."

Hu Lai nodded: "Then please, coach!"
