Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 2023 Predicament

When the football flew to the bottom line and was about to go out of bounds, many people thought the ball was gone, and Valero's attack was over.

Even if Peng Weijun can still catch up with the ball, so what if he catches up with the ball?

He had to stop the ball first, but the Sevilla Navigator defender was chasing back and was very close to him.

Even if he can stop the ball, he will be blocked again by the opposing defender.

The attack that was launched suddenly from the central defender position just now lost its suddenness.

At this time, the players of the Sevilla Voyagers are turning back to defend. Even if he can shake off the defensive players and make a pass, there are still people in front of the goal, which greatly increases the difficulty.

If this attack does not succeed in the end, everyone can only complain that Izquierdo, who passed the ball, used too much power, and half-complained and half-jokingly said: "As expected of a defender's footwork!"

Then let it go, and no one will blame Peng Weijun.

This is just one of countless unremarkable shots in this game, and it can't even impress everyone because of "regret".

But it was such an opportunity that was not a chance, but because of Peng Weijun's left foot volley, it turned decay into magic!

As the narrator said, this is a true theoretical zero angle!

When Hu Lai saw the goal in front of the TV, he almost jumped up from the sofa and kept saying, "Fuck!"

Li Qingqing beside him was also applauding.

But the reasons for the two of them cheering are completely different.

Li Qingqing applauded, of course it was pure applause.

From an ornamental point of view, this ball is absolutely beautiful. In terms of importance, it is also very important.

And it was Chinese players.

No matter from which point of view, Li Qingqing should applaud.

Hu Lai's exclamation was because the ball was exactly the same as the one in his memory...

Although after Peng Weijun moved to Valero, Hu Lai can often see Peng Weijun's games. From the perspective of position and playing style, Peng Weijun is almost like a yellow-skinned Roberto Carlos with long hair.

He also suggested that Peng Weijun should switch from left winger to left back based on some playing characteristics, height characteristics, and positional similarities.

However, such a perfect 1:1 replica of Carlos' zero-degree goal against Tenerife in the 26th round of La Liga in the 1997-1998 season still shocked Hu Lai.

In fact, Hu Lai already has a sense of sight when football is rushing to the bottom line.

When Peng Weijun swung his left leg, in Hu Lai's eyes, the figure of the little Brazilian man in the purple Real Madrid jersey seemed to overlap with that of Peng Weijun, and their movements were highly synchronized.

And then the ball goes in...

Seeing the football fly into the goal, for a moment, Hu Lai even thought that the Brazilian "guard with guns" in another time and space was reincarnated into Peng Weijun in this time and space.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

In the dark, it seems that there is something that connects the two completely different time and space...

※※※

Peng Weijun's goal became the last goal of that game.

In the away game, Valero, who was not optimistic, also relied on this zero-angle goal to defeat the Sevilla Navigator 2:1.

Peng Weijun was named the best player in the game after the game. This is also the first time he has received this honor in a competition.

After the game, his zero-angle goal quickly occupied the Internet space and became a hot topic of discussion.

This goal was also put again and again.

It was even compared with Farias' previous goal in the Champions League, and it was considered to be enough to become the best goal of the season.

The footsteps of the Seville navigators were stumbled by Valero, and the Madrid pirates kept their fourth place in the league.

However, the fourth position in the league is not stable.

The Sevilla Navigators lost to Valero, and they are still only two points away from the Madrid Pirates.

The fifth-ranked Athletic Vizcair also lost this round, but only one point less than the Madrid Pirates.

The Champions League qualification for next season is still unstable.

Of the remaining three league games, there is also a Madrid derby against the King of Madrid.

It is not so easy to keep the fourth place in the league...

In the last three rounds of the league, Farias has started all of them, but the evaluation of him by public opinion is like going downhill, and the game is worse than the game.

The team lost 1:2 to Aihr in the first game. Because Farias still has the halo of "absolute draw with Catalan" and "best goal in the Champions League", he actually received not much criticism. Most people Still relatively forgiving.

In the second game, the Pirates beat Pamplona 2:1 at home. Obviously won the ball, but Farias was criticized more violently than in the last game. Everyone said that if it wasn't for Hu Lai, the Madrid pirates would be dragged into the abyss by Farias.

In the third game, their prophecy seemed to be right...

Farias performed very badly in this game, and this kind of badness was not as bad as the previous two games... It was completely out of shape, and he couldn't even dribble the ball to the end of time.

So he was substituted in the 60th minute - before he was off in the loss to Aicher.

Seeing that next season's Champions League qualification is about to fly.

Online criticism of Farias has reached a crescendo.

If you only look at the words he is being scolded now, you will definitely feel puzzled:

What they are talking about is the "hero" Nestor who broke into Longtan alone in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League two weeks ago, scored "the best goal in the UEFA Champions League this season" and scored the "best goal in the UEFA Champions League this season". Al Farias?

The evaluation after the Champions League game and the evaluation of the same person after the loss to Valentia can show such an extreme difference.

But that's football.

When you perform well, everyone blows you up like you're already the king of the world.

But if you perform poorly in two or three consecutive games, then it seems to be a heinous sinner, a "clown" that everyone can ridicule and laugh at.

Such an extreme public opinion environment is the daily life of world football today.

In the past, professional football did not have such a well-developed network environment. Even if the fans wanted to scold, the players would not be able to hear them.

But now almost every player has an online social media account, and so does every fan.

Fans criticize players online and they can circle them so they can see.

The power of public opinion is infinitely magnified, and everyone is engulfed in it.

Enjoy a hundred times the cheers compared to before, then you have to bear a hundred times the pressure compared to before.

This is one of the reasons why the psychological pressure on professional players is increasing.

People with poor psychological endurance are really not suitable to be professional players.

In other words, not suitable for success in this line of work.

Nestor Farias' psychological endurance is actually not weak among his peers, but he is just a child who is not yet twenty years old.

How happy those praises made him after he drew with Catalonia, how much pain those criticisms can make him now. Especially since he actually knows how bad he was against Valentia...

He hasn't reached the point where he can't be surprised by honor or disgrace, and his face is not thick enough.

In the face of the flood of criticism and scolding, Farias, who can still remain tough in front of his teammates, can't stand it anymore.

As the favorite of heaven, his career has always been smooth, and he has received more praise than criticism.

In Argentina, when he first came to Spain, he was almost soaked in honey.

And when he had conflicts with coach Parotti, most of the fans were on his side.

Even when he praised Parotti's Twitter, which caused dissatisfaction among many Pirates fans, there were also many fans who stood by him and expressed understanding, sympathy and support for him.

Only this time, he was almost overwhelmingly criticized and criticized, and very few people spoke for him.

Perhaps because of the decline in the league rankings, the Pirates fans felt that a huge crisis was at hand.

This season is already going to be nothing, if next season can't even participate in the Champions League... who can bear it?

Although the previous Madrid Pirates did not participate in the Champions League every year, they also played in the Europa League-the first championship of the team coached by Parotti was the Europa League champion.

But when was that?

At that time, how many years had it been since the Madrid Pirates had not reached the semi-finals of the Champions League?

Champions League qualification is not the minimum goal.

European qualification is.

What time is it now?

The current Madrid Pirates have won three Champions League titles in the past five years.

If such a team cannot participate in the Champions League, it will be the end of the world.

Farias' agent, Augusto Ayala, was silent for a long time in the face of the criticism and insults on the Internet, and suddenly said as if he wanted to understand: "So...why did Tonini take the initiative to give up the starting line~www. novelmt.com~Is it because he wanted you to be the scapegoat? Then the main responsibility for the failure of the team will be on you..."

He didn't finish as Farias looked up at him: "Augusto, that's not what you said before. When I scored against Catalina, you said the future was bright." , I no longer have to worry about whether others will discuss whether I am worthy of starting. How can it become a long-planned conspiracy against me now?"

"Uh..." Ayala was speechless, and he also felt that what he just said was too forced. He originally wanted to comfort Farias, but now it seems that it has completely backfired.

Farias was silent for a while and said: "I will go to Parotti and have a good talk about the starting..."

Ayala exclaimed: "Are you crazy, Nestor? The next game is our UEFA Champions League semi-final against Vesuvius! Are you going to give up starting in this game?"

Farias did not answer the question directly, but repeated: "I need to have a good talk with him."
