Chapter 47: European player Hulay

Genius remembers this site address in one second: []https://fastest update! No ads!
Insuya is now under tremendous pressure-it is clear that Pete Williams and Jay Adams, two Leeds city midfielders, are making a fuss against him.
In addition, Hu Lai often retreats here to seek cooperation with two teammates.
Sometimes it is equivalent to three people besieging an Insuya.
And when other Catalan United players come to help, Leeds City will quickly move the football to the side. They don't love to fight in the middle. It would be better if they can directly create a threat from the middle, but if they can't, they will immediately move to the side to mobilize the defensive line of the Catalan United.
Unlike Catalonia, which relies on the delicate coordination of the midfield and frontcourt to instigate the attack, Leeds still has the style of football, playing more simple and direct. Cross passes are generally used for transfer, not for looking for opportunities. Just fell back and forth.
In this game, Clark specifically asked them to make more straight passes to play behind Catalonia United.
So whether it's Pete Williams or Jay Adams, when they get the ball in the midfield, they will pass the football behind the Catalan United defense whenever they have a chance.
Of course, the success rate of this kind of straight pass will be much lower, and there is a risk of being interrupted by the opponent to fight back.
But the reason why Leeds did this is because they have Hulay, a forward who is very good at looking for opportunities behind defensive players, so this kind of risk Leeds can afford and is worth taking.
Change to a general striker, I'm afraid Leeds will definitely not dare to do so. Because in all likelihood, they will be scored by the opponent before they score a goal-not that the opponent's efficiency is higher than their own, but their own scoring efficiency is too average.
Hu Lai, a player who is only good at shooting goals, was once considered by expert fans to be a person with little tactical effect and did not help the team's tactics.
After all, he can neither pull out a cross nor pull back the midfield cameo organization.
He is only good at shooting.
A pure center forward has become increasingly difficult to survive in today's football tactical system. Centers of other teams always have to hold multiple roles and have good comprehensive abilities. Shooting, passing, pulling... and even defense are necessary. It does not require every ability to be excellent, but a balanced hexagonal warrior is required, so as to have a better fit in the various tactics of the team. Matchability.
As a shooter, I'm afraid I can't even get on the court, so how can I show my scoring ability?
According to common sense, Hu Lai should be such an unwelcome "shooter."
But Leeds City coach Tony Clark's understanding of Hulay's tactical importance is different from those of others.
He doesn't think Hu Lai is not helpful to the team's tactics. On the contrary, he thinks Hu Lai is indispensable in his own tactics.
It is no exaggeration to say that Hu Lai is the most important piece of the puzzle in his tactical map. Without Hu Lai, there would be no Leeds city that is currently attacking unscrupulously.
Because Hu Lai's super high front efficiency guarantees that the offensive tactics that Clark envisioned have the basis for the realization, otherwise it will all be the castle in the sky in his mind, which is meaningless on paper.

"Jay Adams took the ball in the midfield... He looked up and watched. Camara jumped in from the wing... but he didn't give it. He sent a long pass to the forward Hu!" Ma Xiu Cox's voice is clean and neat, just like this attack by Leeds.
The moment Adams passed the ball, Hu Lai suddenly changed to go straight behind Jimenez!
Stop Adams' pass with his chest.
It is a pity that Fuqiong, another central defender of the Catalan United, retreated in time and appeared in front of Hu Lai with his own speed, and stretched his leg to block the latter's shot from the bottom line!
"Hoo-!" The Catalan fans cheering on Hu Lai again sounded from the stands.

Having just experienced a dangerous situation on the defense line, Catalonia is not to be outdone and seized every opportunity to attack.
Salado, who was in good shape in this game, became the arrow figure in Catalonia's offense, and even the Swedish striker Paterson assisted him.
In the attack, he jumped up and flew the header, passing the football to Salado.
Salado switched to the middle and moved closer to Paterson. After receiving the header from the latter, he used the outer instep of his right foot to straighten the football forward, and then kicked straight away at a distance of more than 20 meters. shoot!
The football crossed the leg of Leeds City defender Teddy Bradford, who came up to intercept, and went straight to the right side of the goal!
Leeds goalkeeper Van Devin made a wonderful save. He swooped, but he did not dare to hold the ball directly.
Salado's shot was heavy, and he was afraid of letting go if he held the ball directly.
So he chose to punch out!
After a huge muffled noise, the football was blocked out of the door.
Salado hugged his head with both hands, regretted for a moment, and quickly plunged into the game. In the close-up, he speeded up to chase the football.

"Rozas is going to pass the ball...Fake action, he dunks it back, and then gives it to Campsano, who is closest to him! Campsano takes the ball forward and rides the bike...beautiful!!!"
Campsano used the continuous cycling to sway Vieira, who was in front of him, to the ground.
However, Leeds City's defense did not end there.
As soon as Vieira fell to the ground, Ben Grist quickly rushed up, strode up, and stretched his foot towards the football.
Campsano still wants to continue to pass Grist, but his short legs do not have any advantage in front of Grist's long legs, allowing the opponent to kick the football first.
Jay Adams, who was back in place, just received the ball from Grist's stabbing.
He kept the ball directly letting the football leak from between his legs, while turning around to adjust the direction.
Turn around and pass the football forward.
As soon as the football kicked, Rosas's leg shoveled over-if Adams made the ball later, the ball would return to Catalonia.
Although there were no goals in the game during this period of time, several Chinese overseas players in front of the TV watching the offensive and defensive transition of the two teams were short of breath, and they clenched their fists unknowingly.
This is not the first time they have watched a Champions League game, but they have felt what they have not experienced before watching the Champions League game.
In the past, when they were in China, although they didn't watch the live broadcast of the Champions League match much, they would also learn about the Champions League match through post-match highlights or sports news.
But watching the Champions League at that time was really just a show of excitement.
Everyone knows that the Champions League is the football game with the highest technical and tactical content on the planet today, but it is difficult to say exactly how high it is.
When they came to Europe, they received nearly half a season of training in Europe, after having a reference in their hearts. Looking at this UEFA Champions League game again, the shock was huge.
When they first came to Europe, they were amazed at the level of European football. Even the intensity of their daily training was no less than a Chinese Super League match. When they first came, they were still a little uncomfortable. At the same time, I also understand why in the documentary about Hu Lai joining Leeds City, after finishing training when he just arrived in Leeds City, he fell asleep directly when he was massaged by Uncle Yong.
It wasn't his performance, but it was really exhausting.
In terms of rhythm alone, the training rhythm of European teams is faster than that of the Super League.
And now if you look at the Champions League game again, you will find that the rhythm of the Champions League game is much faster than the rhythm of their respective teams and leagues.
So why is the Champions League the highest level of football in the world today?
It is reflected in these aspects.
While they are still struggling in their own team, Hu Lai is already very comfortable in such a game, playing with ease.
This is the gap between them and Hu Lai.
He came out a year and a half earlier than them, and his progress was amazing.
They have a very obvious feeling-they are still Chinese players, but Hu Lai is already like a European player.

The fierce confrontation between Leeds City and Catalonia continues, and the time of the game is also moving quickly in this kind of confrontation.
When everyone reacted, the whole game had entered 75 minutes.
"... There are fifteen minutes before the end of the game, and the score is still 2:2. Leeds performed very bravely, and what is even more commendable is that their bravery is not the courage of one man... They successfully withstood their outstanding offense. With the Catalan United offensive, the opponents hesitate to fear their offense and cannot do their best. This is why we say'the best defense is offense'..." He Feng commented.
"But there is another problem..." Yan Kang added, "At this point in the game, both sides will have physical problems, especially Leeds in away games. Will they be able to maintain their physical fitness even when their physical fitness declines rapidly? Such an offensive? If it can’t, will it be countered by the Catalan United, leading to a failure?"
He Feng couldn't answer this question, only Leeds on the court.
Yan Kang's worries are indeed justified. After all, at present, the reason why Leeds City can play a close match with Catalonia is completely dependent on their crazy offense. But if such an offensive cannot continue, does it mean...a collapse?
Xie Lan turned to cast an inquiring glance at her husband.
Feeling her gaze, Hu Lixin nodded to his wife and told him that the two commentators were right. Now for Leeds, it is indeed dangerous.
After receiving a positive answer from her husband, Xie Lan turned her worried eyes on the TV screen again.

Hu Lai was running in the frontcourt and saw Jay Adams making a move to pass the ball with his leg, so he immediately turned and jumped forward.
But when he ran a few meters away, he turned around and saw that Adams hadn't passed the football.
But he himself was in an offside position, so he had to turn around and ran back.
To be honest, this kind of repeated back-and-forth runs is really exhausting, but there is no way. As a forward, he must do it again and again, otherwise the opportunity will not come out.
Adams did see Hu Lai's advance and also planned to pass the ball. But at a critical moment, Jimenez moved a step and got stuck in his passing route. He was not sure to successfully pass the football to Hu Lai's feet, fearing that he would lose possession of the ball and give the opponent a chance to counterattack.
So he chose a conservative approach, passing the football across to Pete Williams who came up with a false shot.
As for Hu Lai... I can only sorry for letting him run for nothing. Anyway, for a forward like him, frequent return sprint runs are the norm.
When the football was passed to Williams, Hulay had already returned to where he started, but instead of stopping, he continued to run back, seeming to be going up to meet Williams.
Jimenez, who had blocked Adams' passing route at a critical moment, hurried forward upon seeing this and wanted to cut off the connection between Williams and Hulay.
But just as he ran up with Hu Lai, Williams suddenly sent the ball under his feet.
Go straight!
And Hu Lai, who had originally ran back, also suddenly turned around and sprinted back!
The match between the two is seamless!
Jimenez quickly raised his hand-he remembered his position was higher than Hu Lai, which means Hu Lai is behind him, this ball... Hu Lai is offside!
But the head referee's whistle did not sound, and the assistant referee did not stand still.
The referee does not think that Hu Lai is offside!
"Hu Lai! Eh chance! Anti-offside success!"
Amid the cheers of He Feng, Hu Lai, who sprinted back and sprinted, received a ball from Williams behind the entire back line of Catalan United!
At this time, others are already at the top of the free throw arc!
Catalan United goalkeeper Codlow decisively abandoned the goal almost as soon as Williams passed the ball, trying to block Hulay's shot-he seemed to have anticipated how Leeds would play this attack.
The Catalan fans in the stands made huge boos, trying to interfere with Hulai at the most critical moment.
But these things have no effect on Hu Lai.
He looked up and observed Codlow's position while receiving the ball, and then chose to shoot directly outside the penalty area!
He stretched his right leg, opened his arms, and made a vigorous volley.
But when the foot fell, it turned into a light shot!
Codlow, who hit the penalty spot, couldn't do anything with this kick. He couldn't even jump up. He could only raise his head on the ground and watch the football pass over his head and fly to the goal behind him~ EbookFREE.me~ At the same time pray to God in my heart, pray for this ball...Don't make it!
But God can't control Hu Lai!
He does not score every shot, but this unmarked shot with sufficient time to prepare is as easy as finishing a shot in training for Hu Lai!
In a huge boo, the football crossed over the head of the dumbfounded Codlow, and then fell!
Leap briskly into the goal behind him!
It's like a fish leaping into the sea, splashing waves and being caught by the net.
