Chapter 89: Is a tie an acceptable result?

Latest website: After all, the Madrid pirates withstood the counterattack of the angry king.
But it also paid a very heavy price.
Their captain defensive midfielder Juan Ramirez received a yellow card for a foul while defending Meli.
In addition to him, central defender Kepa Amanteji also carries a yellow card.
The second half just started and it was less than fifteen minutes, the two defenders both received yellow cards, and the rest of the game will be very difficult to play.
So although no goals were scored in this wave of offensive, the mood of the Madrid Kings fans has not been affected.
They sang collectively in the stands to cheer for the team.
Han Shuyu heard the Madrid Kings fans around her excitedly discussing:
"It's impossible for Ramirez to stop Meli! He has a yellow card on him, and another one will be sent off!"
"Goal is here! But the equalizing is just the beginning, and their defense is not enough to resist us! We should beat the pirates in one go!"
"Guys, let us continue to shout! Cheer for our team! The pirate is about to collapse!"
"Go ahead! King! We are the king!"
...
Han Shuyu also had to agree with those Kings fans.
I'm afraid the pirates will collapse soon.
Obviously their defense is unable to withstand the continuous attack of Meli and other Kings players.
Now the two starting midfielders of the Pirates both carry a yellow card, and the central defender is only clean on Moreno, but I believe he will not last long.
If Joaquin Bella didn't commit a retaliatory foul against Van den Berg in the first half, it would be much better if he didn't have that yellow card.
But this is the Madrid city derby. How many players can remain calm in such a frenetic atmosphere?
Not to mention the players on the court, even Han Shuyu among these enthusiastic fans felt very excited and almost forgot that he was in a dangerous situation-if it weren't for Hu Lai’s goal that came too suddenly, I’m afraid She was about to cheer on the spot, and then... I didn't want to be beaten, so I could only run away.
This is definitely not alarmist. In the history of Madrid's derby, there is no shortage of records where fans from both sides directly opened the stands in the stands.
In recent years, everyone has been relatively civilized, and large-scale group fights have disappeared. But if you accidentally sit in the stands of the opposing camp, you'd better hide your true identity. Otherwise, once you get caught, getting a few punches and being pushed around is simply a normal treatment. As for the pressure of hundreds of people around you pointing at you and yelling, it is definitely not small... It would be good luck to be kicked out by the security guard.
From the perspective of her own life and safety, perhaps she should sincerely hope that the Kings will win the game, so that even if the Kings fans around them find out her identity, they will probably let her go because they are happy...
Anyway, Hu Lai has already scored goals in the game. The biggest goal is completed. Han Shuyu doesn't care about the victory or defeat between the teams.
And doesn't this result exactly meet her previous expectations?
The King won the game and Hulai scored.
...
When Han Shuyu convinced herself that Hu Lai would lose his first Madrid Derby, she was touched.
"Hey, You."
A young guy next to her looked at her.
Han Shuyu looked at him blankly, not understanding why he called himself.
"Come on for the team!"
The young Madrid Kings fan pointed to the stadium.
He saw Han Shuyu wearing the King’s sportswear and regarded her as a Kings fan, but when everyone was shouting and cheering for the team, the female fan stood there in a daze, and seemed a little out of place with the environment...
Han Shuyu realized that his performance just now didn't match the personality of his King fans.
So she hurriedly chanted in Spanish with the people around her:
"Go ahead! King! Never give up! Fight to the end!"
Okay, she hadn't chanted this slogan less before, but she was also familiar with the road, and it didn't arouse the suspicion of people around...
※※※
"Dad, will we lose?"
In front of the TV, Maxi Carey's son suddenly turned to look at his father and asked.
Mom was a little surprised, she reached out and touched his head: "Why do you ask? We are leading the score now!"
The son pointed to the screen and said, "But didn't the narrator just say it? Pirates are very dangerous now..."
Sophia didn't know how to answer her son, so she turned her eyes to her husband.
Maxi Carey frowned and said, "It's really dangerous...but it might be a tie."
"Tie?" It was the wife who questioned this time.
"Well, it's a tie. Ramirez is a very good defensive player, even if he has a yellow card, it will not affect him. As long as he can contain Meli, the Kings offense will not be that threatening. The game is left. It’s less than thirty minutes...If the King’s goal appears after seventy-five minutes, we will be able to hold the tie.
Carey said to his wife and his son.
"Ah, the tie is also a good result." Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she prefers the Madrid Pirates to win, if she really can't win, then at least don't lose.
Just now the king's fierce offensive, she felt that a draw was completely acceptable.
After all, this is still the home of the Madrid Kings.
The pirates are fighting away, and they can draw the king, which can indeed be regarded as a victory.
We must know that in the two rounds of the Madrid Derby last season, the Pirates were double-killed by the Kings, losing 0:2 away and 1:2 at home.
Last season, the Madrid Pirates lost to the Kings 1:4 away.
The last time the Pirates defeated the Madrid Kings in an away game has been going back to the 2022-2023 season five seasons ago. That season, the Pirates defeated the Kings 1-0 in an away game, and they also won the final league championship.

"For now, if the Pirates can finally take away a point from the away game, it will be a completely acceptable result..."
Hearing what the TV commentator said, Li Qingqing curled his lips.
Is a draw acceptable?
This should be said to the king!
Obviously they are behind now!
Why should the leader accept the tie?
She admitted that part of what the commentator said was right. For example, the Madrid King is now on the offensive and the pirates are pressed in his own half. It is difficult to fight back and there are few opportunities.
But the lack of opportunities does not mean that there is no opportunity.
You know now that pirates own Hulai!
What kind of striker is Hu Lai?
A shooter.
Such players often need a lot of support from the team, otherwise they are useless.
But unlike everyone's inherent impression of this kind of shooter, Hu Lai is not a "pure shooter" in the traditional sense.
Because he doesn't need many opportunities, and he doesn't need to devote the whole team to support him.
Whether it's in Flash Star or Leeds City, or in the Chinese team, her boyfriend has never been the kind of striker who shoots dozens or 20s in a game and then only scores one goal.
From the very beginning, Hu Lai developed the habit of seizing every opportunity as much as possible. This may have something to do with his initial experience in the Dongchuan Middle School team. He knew that he didn't have so many opportunities to splurge. If he wanted to be on top, he had better seize the first opportunity. Because this is the first time, and it is very likely the only and last chance.
So Li Qingqing doesn't think that in this game, the pirates have fewer offensive opportunities, which means that her boyfriend has fewer opportunities.
At this time, the TV broadcast gave a close-up shot of the Pirates' leader Hu Lai.
Hu Lai in the camera is shaking his head left and right, which should be observing the surrounding situation.
Then the close-up shot was cut off and quickly turned into a distant view.
Looking down from the host position, I saw that the pirates launched a counterattack.
When besieged by the King of Madrid, the pirates were not completely powerless to fight back.
Using a sharp counterattack, they still hit the football to the frontcourt.
Hu Lai once again caught the ball outside the penalty area, and then faced Peralta's defense.
※※※
Peralta saw Hu Lai receive the ball outside the top of the penalty arc again, and the whole person became nervous-because Hu Lai's goal just at the beginning of the second half was scored at almost this position...
Then he saw Hu Lai curl his left leg!
Peralta's body is like a tight spring, which must be ejected at any time. In fact, his right leg has been lifted and moved forward, intending to block Hu Lai's shot.
But Hu Lai did not shoot, his left foot lifted up and down, but he just buckled the football to his right foot!
Peralta seemed to rush to the air, but his second reaction was quick, and he quickly turned around. When Hu Lai raised his right foot to take a shot, he stretched out to block!
The football shot by Hu Lai hit his leg fiercely, jumped high, drew a parabola, and flew out of the bottom line!
He successfully prevented Hu Lai's shot!
"Ah! What a pity!" He Feng yelled regretfully from the commentator. "Hu Lai almost fooled Peralta, but the Argentine responded very quickly! He blocked Hu Lai's shot from the bottom line. ...But it doesn't matter. The Pirates won a corner kick. For the pirates who are currently at a disadvantage, the set kick is the most precious opportunity to score goals, as long as they are grasped properly..."
He Feng did not go on. He knew that this corner kick was a rare opportunity for the pirates, and he didn't want to chatter about losing character.
Han Shuyu in the stands was widening her eyes, because she also knew what this corner kick meant.
Anyone who knows a little about penalty kicks will understand.
She quickly turned on the video recording function of her mobile phone and pointed the camera at the Madrid King’s goal.
She doesn't know that there will be no goals in this corner kick, but she knows that as the game progresses, the pirates will have fewer and fewer opportunities like this ~ EbookFREE.me ~ can't miss any chance.
This is the creed of a video VLOG photographer.
Because you never know what wonderful moments you will miss if you are lazy...
In the distance of the field, the Madrid Pirates' two centre-backs Moreno and Amantegui ran up from his backcourt.
Captain Juan Ramirez dragged behind, acting as the last line of defense before the goalkeeper Haywell.
His target is Meli Banega who has a speed advantage in the counterattack.
He noticed that Meli did not retreat to the penalty area to participate in the defense, but became the first Madrid King player to stay outside the penalty area.
The set-piece is of course an opportunity for the pirates, but at the same time it is also an opportunity for the Kings to counterattack and score.
