Fox in the Penalty Area

"Those pirates are doing that ritual again..."

"It's a strange tradition, obviously useless, but it has persisted for so many years..."

"It's normal, they always like to waste energy on things that don't work."

...

When Hu Lai and Ramirez, witnessed by tens of thousands of Madrid Pirates fans, were throwing coins and performing a blessing ceremony, the Madrid King players who had just come on the field to warm up were naturally attracted.

After seeing what Hu Lai was doing, they all started complaining.

Don't look at the famous "Mary's Lucky Coin" ceremony, and it has persisted for so many years, and various legends about this ceremony have emerged one after another.

But in fact, there is no luck that can really be prayed for in this world.

If Marie Maganto was truly the "lady fortune" among Pirates fans, she couldn't have died in a car accident.

This lucky ritual is more of a behavior similar to encouragement and psychological comfort, and can't really bring luck to the Madrid pirates.

Pirates fans and players themselves are probably well aware of this. .

After all, the Pirates of Madrid did not win every home game against the King of Madrid, nor did they score three goals every time they faced the King of Madrid at home.

But just like the curse of not touching the trophy before the game, people are always used to remembering more dramatic examples, not all results.

Those games that were not won after a lucky ceremony before the game were naturally "forgotten" by the Madrid Pirates fans.

And as long as the lucky ceremony has played a role, the media will write about it, and the fans will talk about it, as if this lucky ceremony really played a role.

In fact, the reason why they do this is that they hope to use this method to strengthen the confidence of the players and form a subtle influence in their hearts.

To put it bluntly, it is still a mental stimulant used by less powerful pirates to hypnotize themselves.

Both Kings fans and players scoffed at the tradition of the Madrid Pirates.

They simply do not have such a tradition of playing tricks.

Because they are stronger, they don't need self-hypnosis to boost their confidence.

After the warm-up, players from both teams returned to their locker rooms to make final preparations for the game.

Hu Lai entered the system. He did not choose the [Lingxi Card], but equipped himself with two items, the [Broken Giant Bear Leggings] and [Worn Bear Jersey].

Because the previous task of scoring consecutive goals was finally fixed in eleven games, Hu Lai earned 1.1 million points in that one task alone—one hundred thousand more points for each additional round of the league.

Now Hu Lai can be said to be very rich.

But he still saves the use of points.

[Lingxi Card] If you can, you don't need to use it.

Now Hu Lai is less and less dependent on the system.

Originally, these points were reserved for the World Cup, but because of the Olympic Games this summer, more points have become a bit stretched.

It has been a long time since he exchanged items in the system space to help him compete.

This game is equipped with [broken giant bear shin guards] mainly to defend the Argentine center back Sergi Peralta of the King of Madrid.

Hu Lai could have imagined with his **** that he would be strictly guarded by the irritable brother during the game. Roive might give Peralta this order:

"Do everything but foul to stop him from scoring! If necessary, foul!"

Hu Lai, who knows Peralta's playing style, is naturally not stupid enough to think that he will be unscathed in this game.

He always has to speculate on his opponent with the greatest malice, so as to make the best preparations, otherwise he may have been kicked and broken.

Competitive sports have nothing to do with race or nationality. Don't think that only Chinese football has the kind of garbage that kicks and breaks people's legs.

European football, which has a larger player base, has more tragedies than Chinese football.

※※※

Then the players from both sides walked out of the locker room and came to the player tunnel to prepare to play.

The player tunnel at Pirates Park is not the same as at the Crown.

There is a wall in the player tunnel of the Crown Stadium to separate the players of the home team and the away team. They will only meet at the end of the tunnel. Before, they were separated by a wall. At most, there was a fence in the middle so that everyone could say hello to each other. What.

But this kind of arrangement also reduces the possibility of "extraordinarily jealous when the enemy meets"-perhaps even the King Club of Madrid knows that they have more enemies?

The Pirates Park Stadium, the home of the Madrid Pirates, is an ordinary player channel.

The players of the two teams stood directly side by side in the passage, with their eyes slightly slanted, so that they could see each other.

Hu Lai could see Merry, and Merry could see him.

However, although the two were in the channel, there was no communication.

No words, not even eyes.

Hu Lai seemed to regard Meli as air, and Meli turned a blind eye to Hu Lai.

In fact, there is a special camera aimed at the two of them, wanting to capture the interaction between the two.

But the two didn't let the camera get their way.

They all looked ahead and waited quietly for admission.

Occasionally, he would greet his teammates and exchange a few words, and more often he would just stand there honestly.

Outside, the huge song has been sung, and the Pirate Park is like an oversized pirate bar, full of people, and the chaos is full of vitality.

They were then taken out of the tunnel by the referee team and onto the pitch.

When the players from both sides played, the volume of the Madrid Pirates song in the stands also suddenly increased.

Pirates fans used this way to assert their sovereignty and let the Kings players know whose turf is here.

But in fact, this move is useless for most of the King of Madrid players.

Especially those players who often participate in the Madrid derby, they have experienced many battles and have long been used to it.

Like Alexandra Cerrados, captain of the Kings of Madrid. As the player with the most goals in city derbies, he has scored 14 goals in all Madrid derbies he has participated in in the past.

And eight of his fourteen goals were scored away from home, making him arguably the most unwelcome person on the pitch.

He didn't care about the hustle and bustle at Pirates Park.

Merry also didn't care.

Although he is young, he has experienced the Madrid derby many times. A "Derby Veteran".

He turned a blind eye to the noise the Pirates fans were making.

So on to the field.

"Friends from the audience! Welcome to the Pirates Park! Follow me to watch a key battle of this round of La Liga! The league leaders Madrid Pirates will play against the rival Madrid King at home! The captains of the two sides are fighting before the game. ceremony……

"Before this game, the good news for the Pirates of Madrid is that Joaquín Bella is back from injury to catch up with this game. His return can increase the hardness of the Pirates of Madrid in midfield and relieve Ramirez. The burden... But Kyrie finally failed to return before this important game, and so did Ruiz. Therefore, there are few adjustments and changes that can be made in the offense of the Pirates in this game, and they are basically studied by the King of Madrid. now...

"Of course, the Pirates are also very familiar with the King of Madrid. As rivals in the same city who have been entangled with each other for more than a hundred years, the two teams are familiar with each other, so there are no tricks in this game, and both sides will face each other with their own strengths. This is a pure competition of strength!"

Accompanied by the gushing of the narrator, the captains of both sides finished their side picks, returned to their teams, boosted morale for the last time, and then took their places amid the huge noise.

The Madrid Pirates won the right to pick the side. Ramirez chose to fight against the south stand in the first half and attacked the south stand in the second half.

The King of Madrid has the right to kick the ball and they will take the lead in attacking.

Merry stood in the center circle with a football under his feet. Today, he has replaced the "Four Heavenly Kings" Alexandra Therados as the sharpest spear in the king's hands.

When the hustle and bustle over Pirates Park finally fell from its peak and gradually subsided, a crisp whistle sounded.

Game start!

※※※

After Merry passed the ball back, he ran diagonally forward.

Behind him, Cerrados received the ball and passed it to midfield commander Dudu Carlos.

After receiving the ball, the Brazilian midfielder did not continue to pass back, but looked up. At the same time, he naturally dunked the football to the right with his feet, and then dunked Hu Lai, who came to **** him.

Then he kicked the ball.

Passed the ball directly to Merry, who ran to the right flank.

Although he has become the spear of the king, Merry is still more used to playing on the wing, and has not stayed in the middle like a center.

He does not need to score like Hu Lai, always in the penalty area, in front of goal, in the middle.

Because he has foot skills that Hu Lai does not have, he can dribble the ball to attack.

He is both the initiator of the attack and the finisher of the attack.

Seeing Merry catch the ball, the other players of the King pressed forward, including the two fullbacks Rafael Fonseca and Paddin Garcia, who also pressed directly.

Obviously they have a lot of trust in Meli, knowing that the football is at his feet and will not be easily lost.

Even if you can't open the situation, you can keep the football from being stolen.

In this way, the king players in the back will naturally dare to come forward and participate in the attack with confidence.

Otherwise, if you run halfway and the ball will be broken, who would dare to come up?

Are you okay to come to the race to practice the turnaround run?

The current pirate attack is not as sharp as it used to be for this reason.

After Maxi Carey was injured, the Pirates lacked players who could hold the ball in the frontcourt. Ruiz was able to hold the ball, but his skills were relatively rough, and his effect was still far worse than that of Carey.

After the lack of players who can hold the ball and play the ball in the frontcourt, the Pirates' two full-backs naturally dare not press on them easily. In some cases the offensive effect will be greatly reduced.

※※※

After receiving the ball, Meli did not use his best personal skills to smash the ball to the Madrid Pirates' goal, but patiently dealt with the Pirates' left-back Ion Martinez.

He doesn't take the initiative to go up, so Ion can only guard against him and can't go anywhere.

Even if the right-back of the King of Madrid, Paddin Garcia, passed him, he would not dare to retreat, because compared to his teammate in the Spanish national team, Meli, who still had the ball, was obviously more threatening.

So Melli passed the football to Garcia, who was left alone.

When he passed the ball out, Ion quickly turned around and retreated to add West Asia.

Merry moved quickly to the middle.

And Dudu Carlos went to the right rib to meet Garcia, and he and Meli crossed.

Ramirez handed Carlos to Joaquin Bella, and went to Merry himself-in this game, Ramirez still had only one task, that is, when Merry came to the middle of the event, nail it. kill him.

Garcia took the ball on the right to face Ion, who was chasing back, and initially chose to force a breakthrough.

But he was not able to break through the main left-back of the Spanish national team, Ion Martinez, so he took control of the football and handed it over to Dudu Carlos who came up to pick him up.

The Brazilian did not stop the ball at the moment of receiving the ball, but directly sent the football into the penalty area with a through ball.

Melli, who was originally outside the penalty area, began to accelerate into the penalty area when Garcia passed the ball to Carlos.

Although Ramirez also followed up~www.readwn.com~, there is a big gap in the speed between the two.

Merry took the initiative to move again, and quickly left Ramirez behind, straight into the gap where Carlos went straight!

"Merry! He got the ball in the ribs in the Pirates box! Dangerous!"

He Feng exclaimed.

I saw that Merry, who received the ball in the empty space, did not continue to dribble the ball inward, but directly swiped his foot and shot!

The football sprinted towards the back corner of the goal against the turf!

Goalkeeper Heywell fell to the ground quickly, but he was still a little slower. The hand he swung out did not touch the ball!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the football slammed directly into the goal and hit the side net!

Just two minutes into the game, the King of Madrid has already led the Pirates by one goal!
