Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1765 The Bonus Ends

The King of Madrid lost 0:3 at home to the Catalan United, which put the team's head coach Miguel Tavares and the team's core Meli Banega under tremendous pressure.

Tavares was widely criticized for his tactical arrangements before the game and his on-the-spot command during the game.

Said that he only knew to rely on Meli before the game, but he didn't know how to solve the problem other than Meli when there was a problem in the game, which eventually led to the team's complete defeat at home to Catalan United.

After the game, it was also reported that the top management of the King of Madrid Club was considering letting Tavares leave get out of class.

As for Meli, because of his poor performance in the game, the team's loss is naturally inevitable.

Perhaps some Melly fans can use "Melly has tried his best" and "Melly is also a human being, not a machine, and will be tired" to justify.

But such excuses are meaningless.

As the core of the team, one cannot just enjoy the "welfare" of all the praise after the team wins, but refuse to bear the responsibility after losing.

In this game, the King of Madrid lost the game, and Meli really has to bear a lot of responsibility.

No matter what the reason is, if you don't perform well, you don't perform well, and the result will not be changed because of various objective and subjective reasons.

The same is true from the scores of many media after the game.

Even in the Madrid Kings team, Meli's score is relatively low.

Among the ratings of many media, the highest score is only 6 points, and the lowest is 5.1.

This rating is really too bad for a top star like Meli.

It fully shows how hip-stretching Meli's performance in the game is.

As for Kendor Kabanka, he scored twice and scored nine points.

At the same time, with these two goals, he also tied Meli in the league scorer list, and both scored ten goals.

Tied for second place on the scorer list.

But it is still far from Hu Laidu.

Because Hu Lai has scored 17 goals so far, leading them by 7 goals...

※※※

On the second night of the "National Derby", the Madrid Pirates challenged Baetik away.

Everyone focused on Hu Lai.

There is still one month and five days before the end of 2029. During this period, the Madrid Pirates still have nine to ten games. Can Hou Lai score ten goals in the remaining games and let himself The number of goals in the natural year reached triple digits.

This is what the public is most concerned about at the moment.

The result did not disappoint, as Houlai scored a goal in the game to help the Madrid Pirates beat Baetik 2-0 in the away game.

In the subsequent UEFA Champions League group stage, since the Madrid Pirates had qualified two rounds ahead of schedule, Parotti made some rotation adjustments to the team's starting lineup.

However, because he did not get the first place in the group ahead of time, Parotti did not rotate out all the main players.

At least Hu Lai is in the starting lineup.

The Madrid Pirates had a tough game in this game, because the Lyon Lions still have the qualifications to qualify for the group stage, so they worked hard.

If they can beat the Madrid Pirates in the away game, they will have the opportunity to compete with Insubre for the right to qualify for the group.

This is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone-because the Lyon Lions beat the Madrid Pirates, if the Madrid Pirates want to ensure that they get the first place in the group, they have to smash Insubre in the last round. As long as the Madrid Pirates can defeat Insubre, the Lyon Lions will beat Insubre, the weakest player in the group, in the final round, and they will be able to overtake Insubre in the standings and become second.

Otherwise, if the Lyon Lions can't win this game and let the Madrid Pirates determine the first round in advance, then in the last round of the group match, they may send all the substitutes to Insubre.

Based on the above reasons, the Lyon Lions in the away game used their lives, went all out, and tried every means to defeat the Madrid Pirates.

On the other hand, the Madrid Pirates, who did not play with all their main force, had a bit of a hard time coping.

It was the visiting team Lyon Lions who scored the first goal in the game.

They scored in the 53rd minute to break the deadlock and take the lead.

The Madrid Pirates did not equalize until the 70th minute of the game.

It was Hu Lai who scored the goal.

It was his tenth goal in the Champions League this season.

In the Champions League scorer list, he is also the leader, ahead of all players.

He also has the lowest odds of winning the Champions League Golden Boot this season, and major bookmakers are very optimistic about him winning the Champions League scorer list for three consecutive seasons.

If this is the case, then Hu Lai will create another record-the first player in history to win the Champions League Golden Boot three consecutive times.

After Hu Lai scored, the Madrid Pirates' counterattack momentum was completely up.

And scored again in the 82nd minute.

At that time, everyone thought that Hu Lai, who was catching the ball in the penalty area, would shoot the goal by himself, but he used the outside instep to push the football out.

So Vukovic, who plugged in from the back, rushed up, and with no defense at all, he pushed and shot!

The football flies into the goal!

With the goals of Hu Lai and Vukovic, the Madrid Pirates defeated the Lyon Lions 2:1 at home and won the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule.

The Lyon Lions also completely lost hope of qualifying.

Because in another group match at the same time, Insubre was tied 1:1 by Wieseldorf in an away game.

In this way, Insubret has seven points and the Lyon Lions have four points. It seems that there is still a three-point gap between the two teams. As long as the Madrid Pirates beat Insubre in the final round and the Lyon Lions beat Wisedov at home, they will be able to tie the difference.

But in fact, due to the record of the two teams playing against each other, it is impossible for the Lyon Lions to surpass Insubre with the same points - the two teams played against each other in the group stage with 1 win and 1 loss , everyone won one game each, but the Lyon Lions only won 1:0 at home. After returning to his home court, Insubre defeated the Lyon Lions 2:0.

The relationship between the two teams is the same, but in terms of the "goal difference in the match", Insubre is dominant, so Insubre's ranking is higher than that of the Lyon Lions.

In this way, no matter what the final round of the game looks like, the Lyon Lions are out.

Even if Soubre lost to the Madrid Pirates by a big score at home, and the Lyon Lions beat Wisedov by a big score at home, it is meaningless, and it will not change the gap between the two sides in terms of goal difference.

It's such a sad ending.

The Lyon Lions tried their best in the away game and gave everything to win, but they still failed to change their destiny.

It was tough for the Madrid Pirates to win, but they won anyway.

This is the cruel side of competitive sports. Sometimes the effort you put in is often not proportional to the result...

The home team fans at the Pirates Park stadium cheered for the victory and Hou Lai's goal, while the Lyon Lions players who were visiting here could only leave the field sadly.

After securing the first place in the Champions League group one round ahead of schedule with five wins and five wins, the Madrid Pirates ushered in Sarria in the league.

In his pre-match press conference, Sarriah coach Arno Casas cracked a joke when asked how his side would deal with Houlay:

"I specially arranged for Zhang to guard him during the game. I think they must have a lot to talk about. He can do nothing, as long as he can hold Hu and chat all the time."

Then he said seriously: "Of course, I was joking just now. In fact, I hope they don't let Hu play..."

No matter how it sounds, it still sounds like a joke...

It's impossible for Hu Lai not to play.

In the past two games, he scored two goals. If the scoring rate in these two games is maintained, then he must score one goal in every game.

So how could Hu Lai not play in the match against Sarria?

Not only did he start, he scored goals.

And scored two goals in one breath.

With these two goals, the Madrid Pirates also beat Sarria 2:0 at home.

The post-match TV broadcast captured the picture of Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan chatting after the game. Both of them covered their mouths with their hands. No one could see their mouth shapes, so naturally they didn't know what they were talking about.

After the game, the reporters interviewed Zhang Qinghuan in the mixed zone and asked him what he and Hu Lai talked about.

Zhang Qinghuan: "I asked him to treat me to dinner, but he said I thought it was beautiful."

After making everyone laugh, he said sternly, "Of course not. I wish him a speedy breakthrough."

"Qing Huan, do you think he has a high chance of breaking 100?" a reporter asked. "When will it break the hundred?"

Zhang Qinghuan shook his head: "I don't guess, just wait and see. Whether he can break the hundred has already made history, so the final result will not affect his achievements."

He will not be led into the ditch by these reporters.

Then he waved goodbye to the reporters and turned away abruptly.

Although he lost the game, it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

Perhaps it is because Sarria is a small team and does not have too high requirements for performance. It is enough to be able to rank in the middle of the league standings stably.

Or maybe he is simply happy for his good friend Hu Lai...

The reporters looked at Zhang Qinghuan's back and guessed in their hearts.

The winning streak of the Madrid Pirates was terminated in the next match against Atletico Malaga.

Since losing 0:1 to Real Carterjon in the sixth round of the league, they have maintained an 11-game winning streak in all competitions.

On Tuesday, December 4th, the Madrid Pirates played away against Atlético de Malaga.

This game is the sixteenth round of the league in advance.

Because on December 20th, the team will leave for China to participate in the Club World Cup, so the sixteenth round of the league, which was supposed to be played on Sunday, the 23rd, was brought forward to this time.

Maybe it's double matches for a week, or maybe it's approaching the end of the year, the players are generally in poor physical condition.

The Madrid Pirates lost 2:3 away to Atletico Malaga in this early league game.

Losing the ball in one more game, and the points have not increased, it means that when the competitors also finish 16 rounds, the Madrid Pirates may fall from the second place in the league~www.novelmt.com~the only The consolation is that Hu Lai scored again.

He scored a goal in the game, his 95th goal of the year.

The goal of one hundred goals is getting closer and closer.

There are still five or six games to go this year, and it seems that there is no suspense in triple digits.

If someone spends money to bet that Hu Lai will score more than 100 goals this year, he will hardly make any money...

Of course, this does not mean that those who start early can make a lot of money-they actually don't make much money.

Because of Hu Lai's state, when the gaming company opened the market for this project, the odds of breaking 100 were not very high.

It is impossible to expect to get rich overnight.

As Hu Lai's fame and status grew, the bonus period for betting on him was completely over.

A story like that of Neil Mullin is destined to become a "legend" passed on by word of mouth of countless lottery players, and it is difficult to be replicated.
