Chapter 37: Goal like Maxi Carey

"People only remember Hu's crazy performance last season, thinking that he was the number one contributor to the team's triple crown and the most indispensable person in the Pirates team. But they ignored the real reason behind Hu's crazy performance..."
​​
​​
​​
On the coaching bench of the visiting team, the new assistant coach of Catalonia, Stein van Hoyncen, muttered to himself.
​​
"It turns out that Maxi Carey is the real engine of this team and the key man behind Hu's 95 goals in a single season. And Hu is the beneficiary."
​​
Head coach Riley Vicente said: "You can't say that, Stein. You see Kyrie went to Leeds City, why didn't the Leeds strikers score goals? It can only be said that Kyrie and Hu are complementary to each other. The relationship between them is equally important to the pirates. Losing anyone will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the pirates. Without Carey, Hu would be deeply encircled, and without Hu, the opportunities that Carey created would only be wasted."
​​
"So why didn't he renew his contract with the Pirates? It's good for him and the team, everyone is waiting for him to renew his contract..."
​​
Reilly shrugged: "You know, he's Maxi Carey. If everyone expects him to do one thing, he might not do it."
​​
"Ha, yes." Fan Huoyincen laughed. "Thanks to Kyrie for his weird temper. If he does re-sign with the Pirates, he might still be under the Pirates this season."
​​
"So we have to seize this opportunity. Apart from the pirates, the King's Tavares will only rely on Meli, and they won't go far..."
​​
※※※
​​
Hu Lai really felt the change in the game without Carey.
​​
When Kyrie is on the court, he just needs to run into position and he can always catch Kyrie's pass.
​​
No matter what method, Kyrie always seems to be able to pass the ball.
​​
Hu Lai thinks that the most powerful thing about Carey is not his excellent technique, but his powerful imagination.
​​
Some balls, it's not that ordinary players can't do it, it's that they can't think of it at all!
​​
For example, after he came off the bench in the second round of the Champions League semi-final, he assisted his own goal.
​​
Most people will choose to stop the football and then make plans. After stopping, they can either shoot, bring their own, or pass the ball.
​​
But under the circumstances at the time, as long as the ball stopped at the feet, the best opportunity was gone.
​​
So Kyrie chose to pretend to stop the ball and actually pass the ball.
​​
With just that light tap, the football was passed to his running route.
​​
To say how cool this technology is, it’s not, nor how difficult it is to do it. Any professional player can.
​​
The key is whether the brain can think of it.
​​
This gave him a lot of inspiration.
​​
Of course, he couldn't dribble the ball all the way from the midfield like Merry did.
​​
But it doesn't mean that he can only be a point shooter in front of the goal.
​​
Getting rid of defensive players requires not only movement, but also a little skill.
​​
He knows and masters the basic technical movements of football.
​​
With just a little brainstorming, you can combine those ordinary basic technical movements into some very amazing skills, so as to achieve unimaginable effects.
​​
Hu Lai thought to himself, what I don't lack the most is brains... No, it's imagination!
​​
After Butcher Zhang died, he did not eat pigs with hair.
​​
After leaving Maxi, am I still not scoring goals?
​​
Isn't this funny? !
​​
He turned his head around, and it was no surprise that he saw Paul Fortune beside him.
​​
So he grinned and gave the Catalan French centre-back a friendly smile.
​​
The Frenchman ignored him, his eyes clearly looked past him and looked forward - he had fought so many times, but he was really stupid.
​​
※※※
​​
Kabonca made a threat up front, but Mario Salado's shot in the box was easily picked up by Hewell.
​​
Then Hewell threw the ball to attack.
​​
The Madrid Pirates advanced all the way to the front of the Catalan penalty area.
​​
Then he moved to the left flank, and left back Yoon Martinez who was plugged in.
​​
When Yin Weng got the ball, Hu Lai did not wait for the opponent to pass in the middle, but took the initiative to meet it and ran to the ribs.
​​
It looked like he was there to pick up Yin Weng.
​​
Tonini was behind Yin Weng, further back.
​​
Catalan right-back Rico Indalgo was in front of Tonini, preventing him from entering the penalty area easily.
​​
When Yin Weng saw Hu Lai pull over to meet him, he passed the football to the middle.
​​
Hu Lai ran towards the football, then raised his left foot to stop the ball.
​​
Paul Fortune followed behind him, but he didn't stick to it right now. He planned to wait for Hu Lai to stop the ball before jumping on it.
​​
The timing should be just right, neither too early nor too late.
​​
Too early, Hu Lai will pass the football directly to his teammates who are responding outside the penalty area.
​​
If it's too late, Hu Lai will have more room to get the ball, and maybe he will turn around successfully.
​​
Paul Fortune seized the opportunity and stepped up to grab it!
​​
At the same time, Hu Lai received the ball.
​​
But instead of stopping the football at his feet, he turned around!
​​
With his right foot as the axis, he turned his body to the left, and the inside of his left foot pulled the ball behind him.
​​
In this way, he turned his back to Paul Fortune to facing Paul Fortune!
"Oh drift..."
​​
Seeing Hu Lai turn around, He Feng couldn't help but slapped the eucalyptus.
​​
But before he had time to exclaim, he saw Paul Fortune stretch his legs and kick the football on the field, and then Hu Lai, who had just turned around, pushed the football forward with his left foot sideways!
​​
The football jumped between Fortune's open legs!
​​
At the same time, Hu Lai accelerated again and started, passing by the fluttering Fortune, catching up with the football!
​​
"Wow!
​​
"Yan Kang next to He Feng exclaimed. "Beautiful! pretty!
​​
"
​​
The Pirates Park stadium exploded with huge cheers.
​​
Paul Fortune rushed over his head. He wanted to reach out and tug at Hu Lai, but he only caught a cloud of air...
​​
Goalkeeper Tone Schulman quickly pressed forward from the front point, rushed out of the goal, quickly shortened the distance between himself and Hu Lai, and blocked his shooting angle!
​​
At the same time, another Catalan central defender, Joel Jimenez, also came over from the middle, trying to stop him!
​​
Hu Lai, who had just caught up with the football, didn't hesitate to shoot directly!
​​
He shoots with his right foot, but instead of hitting the back, he straightens his foot for a volley!
​​
The football goes straight to the near corner of the goal against the turf!
​​
Tone Schulman initially guessed that Hu Lai might shoot from the far corner of the pocket, so his center of gravity was shifted to the outside.
​​
When the football was shot, the others had already fallen to the outside. When he saw the football go straight to the near corner of the goal, all he could do was to stretch his legs as much as possible and drag him behind to block it...
​​
He did block the ball!
​​
But just kicked the football to the near post!
​​
The football hit the inside of the goal post and bounced back into the goal!
​​
Shulman fell to the ground, turned his head and looked back at the football in the goal behind him.
​​
Joel Jimenez just ran to Hu Lai, he also turned his head to look at the goal.
​​
Paul Fortune didn't even have time to catch up, he stood where he had pounced, turned his head and looked into the goal.
​​
Hu Lai is also looking at the goal, he is confirming the result of his shot.
​​
When he saw that the football was already in the goal, he pushed aside Joel Jimenez who was in front of him, turned and rushed towards the corner flag.
​​
Amid the huge and enthusiastic cheers at Pirates Park, before he reached the corner flag area, he jumped high and turned 180 degrees in the air, making his signature celebration.
​​
Although he took off early, the pirates at Pirates Park still followed quickly:
​​
"huuuuu!
​​
! "
​​
※※※
​​
"huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
​​
! "Spanish commentator Alvarez Sanchez raised his arms and shouted from the live commentary box. "An acrobatic goal!" Hu teased Paul Fortune with his turn! For Fortune, he didn't even know what was going on and was passed over! "
​​
"Hu Lai! It's beautiful! It's beautiful! This ball is so beautiful! It was so beautiful!" He Feng and Yan Kang shouted in the studio at the back.
​​
"Oh, this ball! This ball... it's so imaginative! Hu Lai passed by so that Fortune was stunned, he just stood there in a daze! Haha!"
​​
"This ball..."
​​
On the sidelines, the assistant coach of Catalonia United, Stein van Hoyincen, was stunned and didn't know what to say.
​​
Merry Vicente said solemnly:
​​
"It seems that Hu has also improved, and he is not satisfied with his performance last season..."
​​
※※※
​​
Hu Lai hugged and celebrated with his teammates who rushed forward. Everyone was shocked that Hu Lai could score such a juggling goal.
​​
They all exclaimed: "How did you do it, Hu?!"
​​
"How did you do it? Instinct." Hu said.
​​
But everyone didn't believe it, because Hu Lai's ability, as his teammate, was very clear.
​​
Maxi Carey used to be good at this kind of ball, Hu Lai?
​​
Good luck!
​​
But Hu Lai really didn't lie and pretend to be coercive this time~EbookFREE.me~ He is indeed a physical instinct.
​​
In fact, it is a very simple technical movement of catching the ball and turning around. Because of the practice, the instinct of the body is formed.
​​
The hard part was that after he caught the ball and turned around, he met Paul Fortune and suddenly grabbed the ball. He chose to directly push the ball that he had just pulled back out.
​​
This is actually a physical instinct.
​​
It wasn't designed by Hu Lai in advance - there is no way to design this ball.
​​
Just be adaptable.
​​
At this time, the importance of basic skills is reflected. If you are not proficient in your own technical movements, it is absolutely impossible to play this kind of ball.
​​
Of course, the most important thing is...to dare to think.
​​
Why do you have to keep your back to the goal to catch the ball?
​​
Why can't you turn around while catching the ball, and then wear a crotch after turning around?
​​
The movements are all common technical movements, but they have unexpected effects when combined according to the actual situation.
​​
The teammates were all joking, saying that he was blind.
​​
Hu Lai himself felt as if a door opened in front of him, and a whole new realm appeared in front of him.
​​
