Fox in the Penalty Area

"Tonini made an oblique pass into the penalty area, he should be looking for Kyrie... Leaked?! Carey leaked... Hu-!! Oh oh oh oh! gooooooooooooooool!!!"

With the excited cheers of the commentator, Hulai kicked the football into the goal of the King of Madrid in the picture.

Then the screen changed, Ramirez picked a pass into the penalty area, Hulai and Peralta ran to the football together.

"Ramirez came into the box for the first time...Hu...Oh! Oh my gosh! What an ingenious heel pass! How could Hu pass the ball to Kyrie in such a way... Kyrie! Beautiful! Goal scored!! Beautiful! This is the Dutchman's first Champions League goal in the last two seasons!!"

On the second day of the Champions League game... no, strictly speaking, before the game was over, the two goals of Carey and Hu Lai were swiped on the Internet.

Some reporters even said that if it wasn't for Hu Lai's 34-meter undercut in the group match against Ruhrlein, maybe he assisted Kyrie's goal and the goal that Kyrie missed to him, A real chance to compete for the best goal in the Champions League this season.

Although missed the best in the Champions League, these two goals still make everyone talk about it.

Hulay's goal in the competition was his 14th in the Champions League this season.

The record for the most goals scored in a single season in the Champions League is 17 goals, created by "The Great" Celius Caesar in the 00-01 season seven years ago. The start of that season also helped the Turin Bulls win the Champions League.

Hu Lai is still three goals away from this record. If he can reach the Champions League final, with his state, he may be able to tie or even break this record.

Add to that Hulay's five Champions League goals for Leeds last season, and he has now scored 19 Champions League goals.

If he can score again in the semi-finals of the next leg, he will break the record of 20 fastest goals in the Champions League set by Mark Becker of Blue and White Munich.

The current record was set by Becker when he played at Ruhrlein. He scored 20 goals in 25 Champions League games to complete this record.

Hu Lai is now scoring 19 goals in 16 Champions League games.

Although he is a completely different player from Merry, Hu Lai won the qualification to be on a par with Merry in world football because of such a perverted scoring efficiency.

When a player always scores goals, his style of play doesn't really matter.

Besides, in terms of viewing, Hu Lai is not bad. Many of his goals are so attractive they are like works of art.

For example, his undercut goal against Ruhrlein, who dares to say that the undercut ball 34 meters away from the goal is not enough to watch?

May delighted the fans with her brilliance, while Hu Lai delighted the audience with goals.

The two of them are really indistinguishable.

And Maxi Carey's goal in this game is not only his first Champions League goal in the past two seasons, but also his fifty-second Champions League goal in his career.

He currently ranks ninth in the all-time top scorer in the Champions League.

In first place is the eternal legend, "The Great" Celius Caesar, who has scored 118 goals in this tournament. He still has goals in the Champions League this season, and he will continue to write his own legends and records.

The second place is another "four kings", Cerrados of the King of Madrid, who also scored 100 goals in the Champions League. The goal with the Madrid Pirates was his 103rd goal in the Champions League.

The two of them are the only players on this list to have scored 100 goals.

Although there is a clear gap between Kyrie and them, he is the Champions League scorer in the history of the Madrid Pirates club. Forty-one of his fifty-two Champions League goals came for the Pirates of Madrid.

"Dear listeners. Did you watch the Champions League semi-final last night? Don't tell me you haven't...I don't believe that in Madrid last night, there were people who didn't watch that game! Whether it was You can go live or watch the live broadcast at home... If you watched, then congratulations to you, witnessing the return of Maxi Carey in the Champions League!"

Listening to the program on the car radio, the corners of Carey's mouth twitched slightly.

He just wanted to hear how the mean host praised him this time. If he guessed it right, the host really praised him.

"...In the game last night, Kyrie scored a goal, which is his first Champions League goal in two seasons. In addition, although Hu's goal was not assisted by him, I personally feel that, That ball, Carey's credit is definitely greater than that of Tonini who passed the ball! That slanting movement and leaking the ball are really wonderful! So although Hu scored a goal and an assist in the game and was elected the best of the game, I But I think Carey's performance is no worse than Hu!"

Carey snorted with satisfaction.

This guy finally got his point.

The post-game best was taken by Hu Lai, but Carey felt that he should also be the best of the game.

His only weakness is physical fitness.

If he can play the full game, how could the Pirates be just a :1 win?

It’s a pity that after experiencing serious injuries, Carey, who has not trained systematically, can only return to the current state.

If he can finish this season healthily and safely, then start the new season to reserve his physical fitness, and don’t miss another serious injury for more than half a year, his physical fitness should be much better than now.

It's just that far can't quench near thirst.

This doesn't help him get an inexhaustible amount of physical energy right now.

The radio host on the car radio continued to praise Carey:

"...Kyrie has the last year of his contract with the team so far. Let's see how he performs after his return from injury. I even think the club should seriously consider and give Kyrie a new contract. Healthy Mark West Carey is still one of the best players in the world..."

Renew?

Hearing the radio host say this, Carey frowned slightly.

He has one season left on his contract.

He was supposed to expire after this season, but his contract was renewed once in the summer of 2006, and the three-year contract is valid until the summer of 2009.

In fact, after his heel assist against Hu Lai against Real Cathoun, his agent Jim Castian asked him about the contract extension.

Castian believes that with his outstanding performance, now is a good time to negotiate a contract extension with the club.

This can obtain more favorable conditions for Carey.

Although Carey once said to him that he will not retire in the Pirates, but will return to the Hague Hercules where he debuted at the end of his career. But he certainly won't leave the mainstream stage of European football at the age of thirty-four.

So it's time to negotiate a contract extension with the club.

But Carey's reaction at the time was a bit unexpected by Castian - he did not directly agree to let Castian and the club negotiate a contract extension.

The reasons given are:

I haven't thought about renewing my contract yet.

Castien was at a loss for words, what else was there to consider?

Brother, you have worked in pirates for many years, and your children were born and raised here. The fans here still love you, and your status in the hearts of the fans has not been significantly impacted by Hu Lai. When you were injured, the People's Club gave you a new contract without a pay cut...

We have been working together for many years, and everyone is very happy.

Why should I consider renewing the contract?

Carey didn't explain much to Castion at the time, and only he knew the reason for the hesitation.

Without Hu Lai, or Hu Lai's outstanding performance during his injury, he would have no problem with re-signing with the Buccaneers.

But the current situation made him have other ideas...

※※※

"Although Kyrie's performances have been excellent recently, Ettore, I would suggest that we should look for a replacement for him as soon as possible rather than consider giving him a new contract."

In head coach Parrotti's office, assistant coach **** Valentin spoke out on a suggestion he had been considering for an evening.

Parrotti glanced at Valentin: "The club is really considering renewing Kyrie's contract, they hope to sign a +1 contract with Kyrie. If Kyrie does not have a contract for the next two seasons What is too serious an injury, the attendance rate reaches a normal level, it is automatically extended by one year. This should be the last contract."

"I don't think it was the right decision." Valentine shrugged. "Even if it's the last one. The club should speed up its moves in the transfer market and introduce Kyrie's successor. Instead of waiting until he really can't play..."

"But signings and contract renewals don't conflict, Jesus."

"If we just bring in a Kyrie substitute, then of course there is no conflict. But if we want to bring in a player who can replace Kyrie, it will conflict. There are players who can replace Kyrie, and there are a few people who can endure it. What about replacing Kyrie in the next two seasons? Similarly, if the players we introduce are capable of replacing Kyrie, why should Kyrie continue to play as the main force?" Valentine asked one after another.

Parrotti sighed after listening to it: "You are right, Jesus. But the problem is that we are going to sign on the right this summer, and the target price we are looking at is not low. In addition, this time Oman Tegui's injury also reminded us - we need to add at centre-back as well."

Valentine asked, "How's Amantegui?"

"The anterior cruciate ligament is ruptured, surgery is required, and the season is reimbursed." Parrotti briefly introduced.

He didn't need to say too much, just the first key word made Valentine fall into silence.

The rupture of the cruciate ligament means that even if Amantegui returns from injury next season, his physical function will be greatly affected, and I am afraid it will be difficult to meet the high-intensity requirements of the pirates' multi-line operations.

So the club must introduce a high-level central defender this summer to fill the vacancy of Amantegui.

And high-level central defenders have always been in demand in the transfer market, and it is difficult to grab them without paying enough "sincerity".

Moreover, sometimes even if you give enough money, people may not be willing to come because there are so many choices.

Thinking of this, Valentine also realized why Parrotti would tend to support the club and Kyrie to renew his contract.

At the very least, it is necessary to stagger this summer and wait until next summer to introduce a replacement for Kyrie. In terms of economic pressure, it will be much easier.

"Well, I hope Kyrie doesn't get hurt again... God bless." Valentine sighed helplessly. "So are we going to buy out Schwytz?"

Parrotti shook his head: "If his agent's offer is not high, you can consider buying him out. He is a useful addition to our lineup."

Switzerland international Omer Schwyz, who was on loan from Sakarsenstad during the winter break, was doing well. If Kyrie's performance doesn't improve, Schwytz might start some games.

But now that Kyrie has recovered, Schwytz has become a dispensable backup.

The 15 million buyout fee is not expensive, but if his agent is asking for too much salary, the club is unlikely to satisfy him. After all, there are plenty of places for the Pirates to spend money this summer, and they're all places to spend big.

The salary space of the whole team is limited. In order to attract enough good players to join the team, we must be willing to pay high salaries.

If you give more here~www.readwn.com~ the salary to other players will have to be reduced.

If Schwytz has to be paid well, it'll have to say goodbye to him.

Schwyz's annual salary in Saxonystad is 7 million euros before tax, and the Pirates took 40% of his salary and came on loan.

If the pirates want to buy him out, the annual salary that may be acceptable should not exceed 50% of the seven million, which is three and a half million euros.

As for whether Schwytz and his agent can accept that number...

To be honest, Parrotti thinks it may be difficult for the other party to accept.

After all, from 7 million to 3.5 million, it has shrunk by more than half. For a 28-year-old international player who is in his prime, it is indeed a little bit...

"If Schwytz is not willing to accept... I think we should consider a potential young midfielder, spend two seasons training him, and prepare in advance." Valentine still did not give up looking for someone to replace Kai ideas in.

This time Parrotti did not object. (To be continued)
