Chapter 25: Exotic football culture

Although Leeds worked defense, they sacrificed their offense for the time being.
But they still lost the ball towards the end of the first half.
In the 41st minute of the game, the Bay Lighthouse continued to attack and finally broke the goal of Leeds City.
Turkey's midfielder Ibrahim Tastan made a low shot from the penalty area and penetrated the goal guarded by Van der Wein.
The Bay Stadium at Bay Lighthouse burst into the biggest cheer of the game so far.
There are red fires in all directions on the stands, and the entire stadium is shrouded in dense smoke and dust, as if the players on both sides are not in the stadium, but on the battlefield.
For safety reasons, such a frenetic atmosphere is no longer visible in today's Premier League.
So this makes Leeds City players from the Premier League seem uncomfortable.
Turkish fans create a stadium atmosphere that is different from that of England fans, not by singing, but by a more primitive and wild way.
The players at Bay Lighthouse are more adapted to this game.
Amidst huge cheers, they ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with the most avid home team fans-goalkeeper Tastan took his teammates into the front row of fans.
Then he was quickly overwhelmed by the fans rushing up from the back of the stands.
They accepted each other unreservedly like this, and it was heart palpitating to watch-not afraid of getting hurt when celebrating the goal...
This may be because the madness displayed by the Turkish fans makes many people think that they are a group of irrational chaotic monsters.
But in fact, in the eyes of the Bay Lighthouse players, these fanatical fans are their most solid backing, their most reliable partners, and their comrades fighting side by side in the same trench.
In that case, what is there to be afraid of?
Only by embracing these enthusiastic fans wholeheartedly can they feel the power they bring!

"Leeds City still lost the ball...Although Clark played an uncharacteristic defense, he still failed to get his team to defend the 0-0 score until the end of the first half. But it's normal... after all. This is the home court of the Bay Lighthouse. In this stadium, even if the European giants come, they don't necessarily win..." Matthew Cox said with a little helpless tone.
He was telling the truth, not justifying Leeds.
Several teams in Turkey are notoriously hard-boned. If they really go crazy, they will really block and kill the gods, and the Buddha will block the Buddha.
Therefore, as strong as the Kings of Madrid, Catalonia, Blue and White Munich, Turin Bulls, Stan Park Rangers and other European giants, coming to the Turkish team's home game may not be able to please.
There is a Chinese saying that "a strong dragon can't beat a local snake". Although Cox has never heard of this sentence, he also understands the meaning.
Although Leeds is the Premier League champion, it may be the weakest of the recent Premier League champions. It's even harder to take advantage of the Turkish game.
Clark chose a conservative tactic, but failed to achieve better results.
The TV broadcast also gave Clark a close-up shot after the team lost the ball. In the shot, the Leeds City coach had a calm expression.
He also covered his mouth and tilted his head to say something to the assistant coach Sam Randyll next to him.
※※※
"I'm afraid it won't work to continue playing like this in the second half, we have to make some changes..." Clark said to Randyll, covering his mouth.
Randyll also covered his mouth and said, "But you have to consider one thing, Tony. We attack and we may lose more. If we need to compare the goal difference then, we will not have the advantage..."
"Honestly, Sam. I don't want to think about qualifying in the group now. Do you think we can hold the 0:1 score in the current situation? Can you guarantee that our defense will not lose the ball in the second half? ?" Clark asked rhetorically.
Randyll said nothing, he didn't dare to make such a guarantee, because he didn't know what the second half would look like.
Thinking about it this way, in fact, Clark's plan to make a change is also a helpless move. Thinking of trying to give it a try, there may be a chance instead.
So he said, "Do what you want, Tony."
He knew what Clark was going to do...
※※※
"In the second half, we will not continue to guard the penalty area."
In the visiting team's locker room, head coach Tony Clarke is arranging the second half tactics for his players.
Not long after Tastan scored, the first half of the game ended.
The score is 1:0, and the Bay Lighthouse at home is leading.
"...They will definitely continue to attack in the second half, and we can take the opportunity to attack and confront them in the way we are good at."
Clark’s arrangement can be summed up in one sentence:
We still have to attack!
Offense is the soul of this team, and offense is the way this team is best at and accustomed to the game.
So there is nothing to say, attack!
After Clark adjusted his tactics, he left a little time for the players to arrange freely.
Hu Lai took the opportunity to enter the system space.
After the World Cup, he completed the World Cup task and received the task reward. But he didn't come to use the task rewards, because the rewards were all wrong.
In addition to the basic 300,000 points, the World Cup mission also rewards a bunch of various training scrolls, several [stamina potions] and a new item.
Named [Sneakers that don’t fit well]: After putting it on, it will increase the running speed of the wearer in a short period of time for five seconds. Damaged after it takes effect. A game can only be equipped once.
There is also a line of fine print below: The sneakers worn by a legendary player who is known for speed at the beginning of the trial training, because they did not fit well, affected his performance.
Seeing this explanation made Hu Lai want to complain: wearing unfit sneakers can increase the user's speed within five seconds. If it were the exclusive sneakers of this legendary star, how good would the effect be?
However, Hu Lai also understood the habit of this system. It is not a broken leg guard or a worn jersey... Now there is an unfit sneaker. Anyway, he will never give it to himself because he is afraid of himself. Is it too bad to open up, disrupt the balance, and then be obliterated?
Hu Lai's speed is definitely not fast, he is indeed trapped by his running speed when some quick counterattacks, and can't get to the door in time. For this reason, he had to start in advance, but this would greatly increase the unnecessary consumption of physical fitness-for example, he ran up and found that his teammates could not successfully push the football up. But he couldn't help running, so his physical energy was consumed in the sprint and return runs.
Fortunately, he also has [Physical Strength Potion], and Clark is a head coach who pays great attention to physical fitness. His daily training emphasizes physical reserve. Therefore, Hu Lai's physical condition has improved a lot than before, and he will not hit the last ten minutes. Sometimes I can’t run.
Now that he has this sneaker, he can increase his running speed at critical moments, so that he will not miss the perfect opportunity, and he does not have to worry about running ahead of time and wasting energy...
It can be said that this pair of sneakers is very useful even if it is a prop that can only be used once in a game.
but not now.
Now Hu Lai does not need to improve his running speed.
What he needs is another thing.
So he didn't even look at the task rewards placed in the system space, but went straight to the system mall.
Find something called [Powerful Charm Essence Lotion] on the shelf and choose to exchange 50,000 points for a bottle.
[Powerful Charm Essence Emulsion]: After applying it on the face, it greatly enhances the user's charm, even if it is a deadly enemy, it can impress you. It lasts for two hours.
This is what he needs to use in this game.
The fans of the Turkish team like to claim that their home is the home of the Devil. The fans of the three super giants have also caused conflicts to fight for whose home is the most feared stadium in Turkey.
They desperately created the horror atmosphere of their home court, and over time, they formed the culture of Turkish football.
They even extended this culture to the outside of the football field. As mentioned earlier, going to the hotel where the visiting team is staying to harass the visiting team and let the other party have a good rest is also part of their "big devil's home stadium."
Leeds did not enjoy the treatment of being harassed in the hotel. Obviously, the fans of the Bay Lighthouse did not take Leeds in their eyes at the beginning.
They are often used to deal with the real European giants.
But not having to move off the court does not mean that they will not intimidate and insult opponent players on the court.
This is the football culture they are "proud" of.
As if roaring in the stadium stands, they can return to the glory of the old Ottoman Empire.
They are so noisy that even Hulai, who has a big heart, feels a bit annoyed-he has suffered similar treatment at the home court of Qatar, but the Qatari fans and the Turkish fans are relatively gentle...
Hu Lai decided to quiet them a little bit, and thought of this item in the system mall.
Fifty thousand points is not cheap, but considering the effect of this thing, "even a mortal enemy can convince you", Hu Lai decided to buy it.
Even if you can't let the Turkish fans stand up and applaud for him, at least they can make them less arrogant.
After redeeming things with points, Hu Lai reached into his sports bag, took the things out of the system space, and prepared to put them on himself.
Why not go to the toilet?
Because the toilet is now occupied.
There is not much time left for the intermission.
So Hu Lai decided to use it in the locker room, anyway, this thing looks unremarkable. It's normal to wipe something for a player, and it won't be particularly noticeable.
He just turned sideways slightly, blocked the sight of most of his teammates with his body, unscrewed the lid, dug out the essence inside, and patted it directly on his face.
This thing is not a real essence lotion. You don't need to consider the degree of skin absorption when using it. It will be effective as long as it touches the face.
So Hu Lai is also very perfunctory.
He felt that his movements were very natural and should not attract everyone's attention. As a result, he just forgot that he was a straight steel man who would not put anything on his face. When did his teammates see him smearing things on his face in the locker room?
So this attracted a person's curiosity instead.
Charlie Potter sneaked up behind Hu Lai, and while he was not paying attention, he reached out and picked up the bottle which Hu Lai had placed next to him: "When will you wipe this thing on your face? Hey? , I also try..."
After speaking, he reached into the bottle, trying to take advantage of it.
"What, that's it?" Potter looked surprised at the thin layer of white lotion on the tips of his fingers.
But he still applied that point to his face.
When Hu Lai was robbed of something, he wanted to stop it, but he suddenly became a little curious. The system didn't say whether this thing could be used by others. What would happen if it was used by others?
So he calmly watched Potter take advantage of him.
Potter didn't feel anything after he wiped something on his connection.
Wiped it, but it doesn’t seem to be wiped...
He frowned and didn't know what was going on, but in the end it could only be attributed to too few things.
"What's the use of just such a small bottle..." He still complained to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai raised his to him: "I didn't let you use it, Charlie. You robbed me of my things, and you think I have few things?"
"Ha...Hu, why did you suddenly think of using this kind of thing?" Potter changed the subject abruptly.
Hu Lai first snatched the empty bottle in his hand, for fear that he would throw it away and disappear, and then he would not be able to explain clearly.
"You can put so many chemicals on your face every day, but I can't?" Hu Lai stuffed the bottle into his backpack, looking for a reason.
"Ha, that's right!" Unexpectedly, Charlie Potter accepted his explanation easily~EbookFREE.me~ Then he winked at Hu Lai, and leaned in front of him to whisper: "I just listened to Pete. , In Paris, that girl..."
"FUCK!" Hu Lai cursed, Pete's big mouth!
Now that Charlie knows it, it will not be long before everyone in the team knows...
"We are..." he wanted to explain.
Potter suddenly covered his ears: "I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen...Would you like me to introduce some skin care products to you, the effect is very good, really!"
Hu Lai stood up and pushed him aside: "You should keep those things for yourself, Charlie."
At the same time, Captain Lorenzo slapped loudly: "It's on the stage, guys!!"
