Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1857 Same score

"Ruer Rhine is here again!"

Whether it is the Spanish commentator Sanchez or the Chinese commentator He Feng, when they shouted this sentence, there was panic and worry in their voices.

Amid the deafening cheers at the Figner Arena, John Setter shrugged off Joaquin Bella before passing the ball to Janus Eyre in front before being knocked to the ground by Vukovic. Deman.

With his back to the attacking direction, Edman fended off Madrid Pirates centre-back Danny Drew and crossed the ball wide.

Then he turned around and rushed into the restricted area.

It was Ruhr Rhein's left-back Stefan Kobb who received a pass from Edman on the wing.

He began to adjust his footsteps when the football was passed to him. When the football rolled to his feet, he did not stop the ball, but swung his left leg and passed it directly!

The football arced and flew towards the goal of the Madrid Pirates.

There, Edman, who had just rushed into the penalty area, took a stride and jumped forward!

Facing another Madrid Pirates central defender Riva Moreno who rushed to try to compete with him for the top, Edman did not flinch and hit him head-on!

He took advantage of his physical advantages, carried Moreno away, and made a solid push to the top!

Boom!

The football in his forehead flew towards the goal!

Although Hywell made a save, there was not much he could do in the face of this close-in header...

The football flew into the goal before he could reach it!

"TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!!" the commentator on German TV yelled, "Edelmann! Janus Erdermann! A beautiful attack! The Ruhr Rhein leads the Madrid Pirates 2-0 at home! Ladies and gentlemen, this Is the result what you could have imagined before the game? The defending champion was defeated by Ruhr Rhein in the away game and had no power to fight back!"

"This ball fully reflects Edman's physical condition! It's simply outstanding! Moreno is also a player known for his outstanding physical confrontation ability, but he is like a paper man in front of Edman! This is Edman's second goal in this game is also his twelfth goal in the UEFA Champions League this season! At the same time, he scored twice in two consecutive UEFA Champions League games!"

After the goal, Edman ran to the corner flag area, and then did a somersault!

With his stature close to 1.9 meters, such somersaults are quite visually impactful.

It also shows how good his physical fitness is-when he landed, his body didn't even stagger.

The Ruhr Rhein players ran to him excitedly to celebrate the goal.

Behind them, or beside them, the players of the Madrid Pirates looked numb and frustrated.

The continuous blows made them not know what emotions to show.

pain?

anger?

Unwilling?

There may be all of them, so what finally appeared on the face all became "numb".

Less than ten minutes into the game, they were scored by Edman with a long shot.

In the 21st minute, Hou Lai evened the score for the Madrid Pirates.

However, VAR declared that Hu Lai was offside when receiving the ball, and the goal was invalid.

Ten minutes after the start of the second half, Ion Martinez, the main left back of the Madrid Pirates, was dissatisfied with the line referee because he kicked the football out of the touchline and awarded the penalty to Ruhr Rhine. All quite disrespectful. The referee who rushed over showed him a second yellow card and was sent off.

The Madrid Pirates with one less player are more passive.

Parotti had to replace Di Kunzo with Iceland left-back Olaf Brynjörsson to ensure the integrity of the team's defense.

But the offense of the Madrid Pirates was further weakened.

Finally, in the 76th minute, the Madrid Pirates, who had been passively beaten, conceded another goal.

With more than ten minutes left in the game, two goals behind and one player missing, this almost sentenced the Madrid Pirates to death in this game.

If you count their 1:2 away loss to Athletic Manchester in the second leg of the quarter-finals, the Madrid Pirates have suffered two consecutive losses in the Champions League.

This is very rare-it has never happened since Hu Lai joined the team.

The TV broadcast also gave Hu Lai a close-up shot at this time.

It seems to be using the lens language to question Hu Lai:

You see Edman scored twice, how about you? You don't intend to express it?

Seeing this scene, Xie Lan in front of the TV didn't cheer his son up loudly like before, but murmured: "Health and health are the greatest victory, not getting hurt is better than anything..."

I don't know if I really think so, or if it's an excuse for self-comfort.

※※※

Ricardo Balia glanced at Luo Kai beside him, and said, "I don't think you can meet Hu in the final..."

Luo Kai looked at Hu Lai's close-up on the screen, and the latter also had a helpless expression on his face.

He thought about it, he had never seen such a slightly embarrassed Hu Lai before.

Maybe... Hu Lai was like this in his freshman year of high school?

After that, whether it was in the school team or in professional football, there seemed to be no problem that Hu Lai could not solve.

He is always good at creating all kinds of miracles... Could it be that he really has nothing to do this time?

Luo Kai couldn't believe it.

It's like a deadly enemy who always fights against you. No matter what methods you use, no matter how hard you try, you can't kill him completely. He can always survive and escape from death.

So even if he saw with his own eyes that Hu Lai had very few chances during the 70-odd minutes of the game, he still couldn't believe that Hu Lai really couldn't score.

Maybe after the Madrid Pirates kick off, Hu Lai can take advantage of the kick-off and score a goal?

"Wait a minute, Ricardo, the game is not over yet." Luo Kai said. "As long as Hu Lai can score a goal, the Pirates will have the hope of a comeback when they return home in the second round."

Ricardo Balia thought about it, and felt that what Luo Kai said made sense.

The Madrid Pirates don't need to win this game, they only need to score one goal to rewrite the total score to 1:2. After returning to their home court in the second round, the Madrid Pirates still have a high chance of advancing.

Just scoring one goal...it's still possible.

※※※

Twenty minutes later.

Barea shook his head and asserted: "Although there is still one round left, I think the defending champion must be out."

Luo Kai did not express any objection this time.

He just silently watched the players on both sides who reacted differently on the TV screen:

The Ruhr Rhine players are celebrating, while the Madrid Pirates players are dejected.

Seeing that Luo Kai did not speak, Barea thought he was still feeling unwilling for his compatriots, so he asked: "What? Do you really think that the Madrid Pirates can turn the tables? The two-goal lead is not that big, but now The pirates have a big problem. Even if they go home, they can’t solve the offensive problem, so how can they come back?”

Luo Kai doesn't know how to make a comeback. The current problem of the Madrid Pirates is indeed serious.

Maybe Hu Lai is really powerless this time, right?

Counting injury time, in the remaining 20 minutes of the game, Hu Lai also failed to score, and the Madrid Pirates finally lost 0:2 to Ruhr Rhine.

"So we have to work hard, Luo. We will try to beat the Catalan United tomorrow and reach the final!" Ricardo Balia encouraged Luo Kai. "At that time, you will be the only Chinese player representative in the Champions League final!"

Luo Kai nodded, he did have such a self-consciousness.

And in a sense, this can be regarded as him defeating Hu Lai...

※※※

"competition is over!"

Simultaneously with the cheers of the Catalan fans, the Catalan team song was played on the radio at the Sagrada Família Stadium.

Luo Kai leaned over, put his hands on his knees, panting heavily, and at the same time he looked up at the Catalan players who were cheering and celebrating.

Farther in the direction he looked, there was a large screen above the stands of the Sagrada Familia.

It shows the final score of the game.

Catalan United 2:0 Tramed

This score definitely did not fully reflect the actual performance of the two teams in this game.

If the score is determined according to their respective performances, then this score has to be doubled, and it should be Catalan United 4:0 Tramed.

The Catalan United were not lucky. They missed several excellent scoring opportunities, which resulted in them only winning two goals against Tramed... Otherwise, they would have ended the suspense of two rounds in one round.

Watching the match between Madrid Pirates and Catalan United before, I felt that Catalan United, a giant, has a vain reputation, and it can still make Hu Lai a sieve in his own home court.

Now that it's his turn to experience it for himself, Luo Kai really wants to know, how did Catalan United allow Hu Lai to perform a hat-trick for four consecutive home games?

Obviously very strong!

Especially Kabanka.

Tramed players are no strangers to Kabanka, because the two are rivals in the same city.

Not only Luo Kai, this match made every Tramed player feel the changes in Kabanka.

Kabanka scored both goals in this game.

Secondly, he also created two very threatening opportunities, but unfortunately his teammates failed to grasp them.

Otherwise, why is the score not just 2:0?

Now Tramed lost 0:2 in the first round, and even the score is the same as yesterday's game.

Luo Kai thought of Hu Lai's embarrassment yesterday.

It turned out that I was just as embarrassed as him...

※※※

"...In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final that ended on the night of Tuesday the 30th, the Madrid Pirates lost 0:2 to Ruhr Rhine in the away game. They were already at a disadvantage in the two rounds... This is the first time that the Madrid Pirates have played in the Champions League this season Couldn't score a goal in the game..."

"Since Ramirez was injured, the Madrid Pirates have been in big trouble. In the three league games before this Champions League, the Madrid Pirates won two and one draw, and the two wins were 1:0. The game is 0:0, and their offense has encountered a serious crisis. From these three league games, you can see the hidden dangers of the Madrid Pirates. So when they met the stronger Ruhr Rhine in the Champions League, all problems were solved. exposed..."

"Hu started this game ~www.novelmt.com~ and played the whole game, but failed to score. Counting the previous game against Valero, Hu has failed to score in two consecutive games ... two consecutive games without a goal is not very common for Hou Lai..."

"...When Hou Lai was in the quagmire in Dortmund, his teammate Luo Kai in the national team also lost to Barcelona. Tramed was beaten 0:2 by Catalan in the away game. Although Luo Kai Started the game and played the whole game, but his performance was mediocre...

"You must know that Luo Kai's performance in the quarter-finals was very good, and he was an important contributor to the team's advancement to the semi-finals. But in the first round of the semi-finals, his performance was very mediocre. Plus Thai United's strong strength and terrible home atmosphere seem to limit his performance...

"I think for Chinese fans, the most important thing now may not be whether Hu Lai can defend the league and Champions League titles, or whether Hu Lai and Luo Kai can meet in the Champions League final, the most important thing is to pray that Hu Lai and Luo Kai Kai don't get injured in the rest of the game...Considering that after the Champions League final, there is only half a month left before the World Cup. Maybe the Madrid Pirates and Tramed will be eliminated in the Champions League semi-final. For Chinese fans Instead, the most favorable outcome…”
