"Hewell--! The Belgian goalkeeper made a key save, he shut out Melli's shot!"
"The game has reached the seventy-seventh minute, and there is less and less time left for the king. Although their offensive is very fierce, the pirates still managed to withstand it!"
"Not only did the pirates withstand it, the pirates could even launch a counterattack..."
"Kyrie received a long pass from the backcourt in the frontcourt. He stopped the football and looked for Hulai! Hulai! Oh! Beautiful! Spain goalkeeper Barker saved the football!"
"Hulay managed to get to the spot under Peralta's close interference and finished the shot! Barker made a great save!"
"Including injury time, there are about 16 minutes left in the game. The Madrid Pirates have the ability to counterattack now, but this is not a bad thing for the King. Because if the Pirates can't shrink, then the King doesn't want to. It will also be difficult to score goals. But if they can score, there may be gaps behind them..."
"But for the Pirates, they can't just put the bus in front of the door without attacking... The Pirates are not the kind of team that is particularly good at setting the bus. Facing the King's fierce attack, it is also difficult for them to defend. Finally. Although even if you score a goal, you will not be eliminated directly. However, considering the morale of both sides, it is very fatal to lose the goal at this time. There are enough such lessons learned, so I don't need to list them... …

...
As the game progressed, commentators from all over the world analyzed the situation and trend of the game for everyone.
In fact, without their analysis, anyone watching the live broadcast of the game can feel:
Although the Pirates of Madrid had a one-goal lead on aggregate, the lead was not big enough for the Kings to give up the game.
Although one more goal was scored, the King of Madrid could not advance to the final, but he retained his hope of advancing. So they will definitely come out and attack desperately.
So until the referee blows the final whistle, no one can say that the Madrid Pirates will definitely be able to reach the final, and the King will definitely not be able to go to London.
That's the beauty of football.
※※※
Carey only played in the second half, his physical fitness was still good, and there was no situation where he could not run.
He asked for the ball more, but after getting the ball he wasn't in a rush to fight back.
Because there is no time to fight back.
He chose to use his ball-handling skills to help the Madrid Pirates delay time.
Of course, it would be better if you could lure the Kings into fouling.
But this time when he received the ball, he was knocked to the ground by Orsay from behind.
The whistle that Carey was expecting to hear, who fell to the ground, did not sound!
"Orsay stole Kyrie from behind. He was very precise and did not foul! The king launched an attack!"
The king caught Kyrie and was intercepted, and the Pirates were in the transition from defense to attack, and they attacked.
Melli, who retreated to the midfield, charged vertically after receiving the ball and went straight into the penalty area of ​​the Madrid Pirates!
It was Joaquín Bella who faced Meli in midfield as Ramirez dropped back into the box to help Betia defend. .
He lowered his center of gravity to block Merry head-on, but was easily swayed by Merry's upper body and the change in the rhythm of his feet. When Merry's right shoulder sank and his left foot was raised to buckle the football, he thought Merry was about to break through from his left, so his center of gravity shifted a little to that side.
At this moment, the outer instep of Merry's left foot gently pushed the football in the opposite direction, and the whole person brushed past Joaquin Bella's body.
Because the center of gravity didn't have time to adjust back, Joaquin Bella didn't even make a foul move. It seemed that his entire body fell into a certain state of rigidity, and was passed by Meili.
Melli, who passed Joaquin Bella, continued to drive the ball into the Pirates penalty area, and then met Ramirez there on the free throw arc.
He kicked up and shot before Ramirez was fully on his way.
Football slides out!
Here, Merry felt sorry for not hitting the door frame, and he put his head in his hands.
Behind him, Carey angrily snarled at the referee, who he thought should have been a foul by Orsay's move.
The referee signaled Kyrie to calm down, otherwise he would give him a yellow card.
Carey didn't continue to growl, but his mouth was still chattering: "He must be a foul, I promise, absolutely!"
But he didn't say it, the referee could see clearly that Orsay's movements were ferocious, but clean. It was really the ball that hit first and then knocked Kyrie to the ground. So it's not a foul as a rule.
It didn't take long for the Madrid Pirates to find Hu Lai with a long pass from the backcourt.
Hu Lai jumped up and competed with Peralta for the top, the football was pushed away by the latter, and Hu Lai was also knocked to the ground.
The same Pirate player fell to the ground, but the referee blew his whistle this time, blowing Peralta for a foul-the Argentine central defender jumped to Hulai during the fight for the top.
The Pirates of Madrid thus win a free kick slightly ahead of midfield.
Although the Madrid Pirates have two free-kick masters, this free kick 40 meters from the goal is basically difficult to threaten the king's goal.
But they can use this free kick to delay some time.
Therefore, Hu Lai, who was knocked to the ground, did not get up immediately, but lay on the ground with his head over his head for almost a minute. He didn't get up from the ground until he felt that if he didn't get up again, the referee would put the stretcher on the court.
Other Madrid Pirates players also ran up.
Although this ball cannot directly threaten the King's goal, it is still a rare opportunity for the Pirates who have been under pressure to push the attack into the King's half. It would be a waste of time if it was just used to delay time.
However, they did not invest a lot of troops. For example, the common situation of two central defenders pressing in front of the opponent's goal in set-piece offensive tactics did not occur.
Only Hu Lai and Carey were left in front.
The free kick was taken. Tonini, who took the free kick, still looked for Carey first, and then created a chance through Carey and passed it to Hu Lai.
It's very simple, and there are no secret killer moves. But with the support of Carey's excellent personal skills and Hu Lai's top off-the-ball movement, he even succeeded!
The Kings guards thought that Carey would pass the ball to Hu Lai, who ran out of space, and Carey turned his body in that direction, then raised his right leg and gestured to pass the ball.
After fooling Sequeros, who was defending him, Carey's right foot slammed the ball back, turned it back again, and kicked the ball with his right foot!
Carey shot straight to the far corner!
Barker fell to the ground and threw himself on the side, rubbing the tip of his finger, which changed the flight path of the football a little.
Finally flew out of the bottom line!
The exclamations and screams of the Kings fans sounded in the stands!
"Oops! Carey... What a pity! Almost!"
"Kyrie's shot was unexpected! But Barker was very focused and made a very good save! From the slow motion, he should have used his fingertips to rub the ball out!"
"Although the ball didn't go in, the Pirates also won a corner. If used well, this corner can still pose a threat to the King's goal!"
※※※
Although the Madrid Pirates won a corner kick, the Pirates did not seem to have any intention of taking the penalty.
At this point, there are actually about ten minutes before the end of the game - if the injury time is five minutes...
Until the referee pointed to his watch and reminded the Pirates players that he would count all the delays now in injury time, delaying time was useless.
The players of the Pirates of Madrid were only slightly more positive.
This corner kick is different from the free kick just now. This time the Pirates central defender Moreno came up to prepare for the top.
But another centre-back, Betia, stayed in the backcourt.
The set-piece tactics were originally practiced by the Pirates. If you can seize this corner kick and score a goal, you will no longer have to worry about the next few minutes of the game.
The reason why only one central defender came up and one was left behind was, of course, to guard against the king's counterattack.
The Pirates' concerns in this regard are justified, because the corner kick was not completed in the end, giving the King of Madrid a chance to counterattack!
Tonini kicked the ball and was punched directly by goalkeeper Barker.
The football that was played fell outside the penalty area, and Cerrados rubbed the football back as he rushed to the penalty area to fight for the top.
Merry, who was ahead of him, half turned and used the outer instep of his left foot to straighten the football forward, speeding up the sprint!
The cheers in the stands suddenly increased, but stopped abruptly.
Because the captain of the Pirates, Juan Ramirez, blocked Meli's path with the ball and pushed it mercilessly. Although he raised his hands, his knees were on Meli's thighs!
Merry rolled and fell to the ground, followed by the referee's whistle and the boos from the stands.
"Ramirez fouled Merry, this move is a bit big, he will definitely not escape a yellow card!"
Ramirez didn't care whether he took a yellow card or not, he used a yellow card to stop Merry's counterattack, which he felt was worth it.
Instead, Merry, who was knocked to the ground, did not roll on the ground while clutching his thigh muscles, but struggled to get up from the ground, and then limped angrily towards Ramirez.
Although he was immediately pulled by his quick-eyed teammates, he was still roaring at Ramirez: "You are a malicious foul! You should be sent off with a red card!"
He was so frightened that Ramirez took a step back and looked at him in surprise. He didn't even react to the yellow card the referee showed him.
I don't know if Meli's anger came from Ramirez, who fouled, or the referee who only gave a yellow card...
"Melly is very angry!" said the commentator Sanchez, "of course he should be angry! Because Ramirez's foul is deliberately directed at others, the purpose is to prevent him from successfully taking him over! The game time is running out, every time Offensive opportunities are precious to the Kings! And Ramirez just killed another chance for the Kings!"
As he said that, there were heart-stopping boos from Kings fans in the stadium.
The voice was so loud that he had to say the above words in a loud voice.
It was only after Merry roared that he realized that Ramirez's outer right thigh was very painful. He stroked it and walked with a limping.
Therados came up and asked him, "Are you all right?"
Merry shook his head: "It's okay, I can, Captain."
"Okay." Therados didn't say much, just patted Merry's shoulder.
There are still a few minutes left in the game. During this time, the team really needs Merry, and it is impossible for him to say anything to let Merry rest. That is too hypocritical.
※※※
"Melly was taking the initiative to ask for the ball, but Dudu Carlos still passed the ball... Now the king really can only rely on Melli's personal ability! There are only a few minutes left in the game, and the Pirates recovered all of them, even Hu and Kai. Ridu retreated to the defensive third to defend..."
The King of Madrid got to the front of the Pirates' penalty area and the ball was passed to Meli, who was retreating.
Just as Merry received the ball, Tonini rushed over him.
Merry made Tonini over the top with a fake move that pretended to speed up the drive with the ball.
Then Meli moved the football forward again and killed the penalty area of ​​the Madrid Pirates!
The pirate players had already rushed towards him from all directions, and this time even Hu Lai was among them, wanting to sneak attack from behind.
But before he could even get close to Merry, Merry passed Joaquín Bella and continued to dribble forward.
The rest of the things Hu Lai can't really help.
Meli dashed to the Pirates penalty area with the ball. In front of and beside him were the Madrid Pirates players who were on the move.
At this time, no one has considered whether their rush to surround Merry will cause the emptiness of other places.
Because their bodies instinctively believe in Emily's ability, if everyone doesn't go together, they will all be passed over by him!
"Merry is under siege!"
"He passed Betiya!"
"Ramirez!"
Merry wanted to pass Ramirez again, but there was a burst of pain in the thigh muscle of his right leg that was pushed by the opponent before, causing him to almost lose his balance and fall to the ground!
How can I admit defeat here...
Merry gritted his teeth, the muscles in his right leg tightened again, supporting his already leaning body, and at the same time, he used the outer instep of his right foot to move the football to the outside~EbookFREE.me~ dodged Rami Reese's frontal interception.
But he was also forced away from the goal...
The pirate captain turned around quickly and continued to force Merry to the wing. As long as he did not directly threaten the goal, this defense was considered a success!
Hu Lai, who had been slowly hanging behind, saw this scene, but suddenly accelerated and started, turned to the other side, and rushed into the penalty area!
As he started, Merry, who appeared to be pushed outside by Ramirez, suddenly lifted his right foot and kicked the football, looking like he was about to shoot.
So Ramirez and another central defender of the Madrid Pirates, Moreno, shoveled over at the same time!
They form a double insurance between Meli and the goal!
But the football was not shot towards the goal!
Merry's right foot fell gently, dunked the football in the opposite direction, and knocked down Ramirez and Moreno at the same time!
Then he swept the ball to the middle before Ion stabbed the ball!
He did not shoot, but chose to cross!
"Hu Lai!"
"Therados!"
When Hu Lai saw the ball being passed, he kicked his legs hard to shovel the incoming ball. Even if he shoveled the ball at this angle, it was likely to be an own goal, he would not care about it at all!
But he didn't touch the ball!
He was about half a meter away from the football, and the football passed in front of him and rolled towards Cerrados behind him!
The "King of the Madrid Derby" faced the rolling football and raised his foot to push the shot!
Heywell just turned over and threw back, and could only watch the football fly over the line and enter his door!
