Chapter 112: Reunion, farewell and thunder

Latest website: Although Hu Lai scored in nearly 80 minutes, it gave Leeds a heavy blow to morale.
But Leeds coach Tony Clark did not give up.
With ten minutes left in the game, only one goal was left, and it was indeed not time to give up.
Clark quickly made substitution adjustments.
He used up the last substitution spot-Charlie Potter replaced Morikawa Junpei.
Don't defend the midfield at all.
After Charlie Porter came on the field, he went to the right to play wing midfielder, while Pete Williams returned to the center to partner with Jay Adams.
At this time, Pete didn't care about Ramirez anymore. He went up and faced off against the Madrid Pirates.
Of course, you may lose more goals, but anyway, it's dead. Why don't you fight to the death? Maybe you can turn defeat into victory?
No, I don't dare to think about turning defeat into victory for Clark now.
But if you can equalize the score and draw against the strongest Madrid Pirates in this group at home, then it is perfectly acceptable.
Morikawa Junpei lowered his head and walked off the field. Coach Clark gave him a light hug and patted behind him: "You did a good job, Morikawa. Don't blame yourself."
He knew that Morikawa Junpei was still regretful for not being able to prevent Hu Lai's second goal.
Morikawa Junpei nodded, said nothing, and walked back to the bench.
On the field, Leeds City seized the last ten minutes to launch a "death charge" to the Madrid Pirates.
The offensive was indeed sharp, and the Madrid pirates felt tremendous pressure.
Especially Camara, as if tirelessly, sprinting back and forth on the side, up and down, left and right.
Sprint, cut inside.
In-cut, change direction.
Shot, cross.
Come everything, he is everywhere.
Seeing this, Parotti quickly made adjustments, and the team reclaimed the defense.
Use the easiest way to attack or something-long pass and sling.
Use Ruiz's role as a fulcrum in the frontcourt and Hulay's ability to capture opportunities to harass Leeds City's defense while reducing the defensive pressure on the pirates.
The Leeds City fans in the stands cheered their team with singing.
But until the stoppage time, the score was not rewritten.
The Madrid Pirates' lead in this ball is like a moat, which makes Leeds insurmountable.
Among them, Zhou Zijing also had two shots, but once was outside the range of the goal frame, and the other was within the range of the goal frame, but because the angle was too straight, the pirate goalkeeper Haywell was taken into his arms without any suspense, even a corner kick or even a corner kick. No opportunity for teammates to make up shots was created.
Four minutes of stoppage time was the last hope for Leeds.
Until the third minute, they still failed to blast away the goal guarded by Haywell.
With only one minute left in the game, possession of the ball fell to the Madrid Pirates.
The shouts in the stands of the Flanders Stadium were much quieter.
Many Leeds City fans are aware that it is difficult for them to score again.
Sure enough, in the final moments of the game, the Madrid Pirates gave full play to their pass control advantages, passing the football up and down, mobilizing Leeds players to run in vain again and again.
Even the most loyal Leeds City fans in the North Stand are no longer in the game at this time.
"If Hu is still with us, we will definitely win this game!" Someone sighed with emotion.
"Don't think about things that are impossible to change, and accept the reality, man. No matter how reluctant, we have to get used to the days when there will be no Hus..." the people around him persuaded.
"Ugh……"
Everyone sighed together.
The Leeds City fans in the stands were silent and stared at the stadium.
If this is an ordinary game, facing an ordinary opponent, then at this moment, they can also use boos to express their dissatisfaction with the loss, and use boos to let their opponents feel the anger and anger of Leeds fans at this time. accurate.
But now facing Hulay, how can the Leeds fans bear the heart?
Hu Lai is unwilling to celebrate the goal in front of them, and they are naturally unwilling to boo Hu Lai because of the loss.
※※※
After passing back and forth, Tonini suddenly obliquely blocked the front court from the left, wanting to attack again.
While he passed the ball, Hu Lai rushed out for the first time, wanting to catch the ball.
By his side, Leeds captain Pete Williams chased him back with him.
But neither of the two touched the ball-Tonini passed the ball too big and was intercepted by Ben Grist.
Hu Lai slowed down upon seeing this.
Pete Williams beside him stopped the car synchronously.
The two former teammates appeared in the broadcast at the same time, but one of them was wearing the away jersey of the Madrid Pirates and turned to the left.
The other person, wearing a Leeds City jersey, turned to the right.
The English commentator Matthew Cox who watched this scene sighed: "I don't know how heartbreak this scene is for Leeds City fans. The most anticipated young talent in Leeds City in the past is now It just parted ways...
"I don't know if they will have a reunion in the future, or if this reunion will happen again in Leeds City... This is not what the Leeds City fans can decide. The only thing they can do is to keep the two. Those good times when a player played on the same team..."
In the stands, I don’t know who sang the song first. I only know that the song came from the north stand first:
"Whohad thewhata GOAL?"
The singing quickly spread, and more people joined in:
"WHO? Who? Who? Who? Who?"
All the stands on all sides of the Flanders Stadium sang in unison:
"’SwhataGOAL!"
Since there is no hope of winning, it is better to use the last moment of this game to remember the glorious years that are doomed to pass.
All the fans roared hoarsely:
"HU! HU! HU! HU! HU!"
"HU! HU! HU! HU! HU!"
In the roar, Hu Lai, who was walking slowly back, raised his head and looked towards the stands.
It was shown before the start of the game, and the giant TIFO that was put away after the start of the game was put down from the top of the South Stand.
As the canvas slowly unfolded, ";home", "HUUUUU!!!" and his celebrating movements gradually appeared in front of everyone.
It's like a curtain slowly lowering from the top of the stage after a big drama is over.
Han Shuyu pointed her mobile phone at the South Stand to shoot. The scene before her reminded her of what the Leeds fans interviewed before the game said:
This is a reunion and a farewell.
She suddenly felt that Hulay's two and a half years in Leeds did not really end until this moment.
At least for these Leeds City fans, September 28, 2027 is the day when they say goodbye to Hulay, and it is also the curtain call for Hulay at the Flanders Stadium.
※※※
I don't know if it was a coincidence. When the giant TIFO completely fell and unfolded, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game.
"The game is over! The Madrid Pirates defeated Leeds 3:2 away! Hulay scored twice in this game and is the best player deserved! He has continued his hot state since the start of the new season. It's just that. This time the victim at his feet has become the former club Leeds!"
The Madrid Pirates on the field began to celebrate the victory, and the substitute players off the field also ran on the field to celebrate with everyone.
The Leeds City players accepted this defeat relatively calmly.
The same is true for the fans in the stands. They reposted what they had written in advance and wanted to say to Hu Lai.
The TV broadcast footage also swept across the stands, showing these slogans one by one in front of everyone.
"Welcome back, Hu!"
"Flanders will always be your home!"
"Thank you for everything, Hu!"
"When you first came, we were unknown. When you leave, we are the kings of Europe!"
...
Every slogan is surrounded by Leeds City fans applauding.
After the game, the suspense ended, and they could finally express their feelings for Hu Lai without having to worry about it.
They were all ready before the game. Regardless of whether the game was won or lost, it was time to officially say goodbye to Hu Lai.
※※※
When Hulay saw Peter Williams, who was naked to the upper body and holding the Leeds City jersey in his hand, walked up to him, he knew what the other party was going to do.
"Come on, exchange the jerseys." Pete handed over the jerseys.
Without saying a word, Hu Lai took off his pirate jersey and handed it over.
But when he took over Pete's jersey, he was a little surprised: "This is..."
What he has in his hands is not Pete Williams' No. 10 Leeds City jersey, but the No. 14 jersey with his name printed on it!
"My grandma asked me to give it to you. She said she hopes you can wear the Leeds City shirt again."
Hu Lai was stunned when he heard the words.
Then he quickly bent down and lowered his head, spreading the jersey and putting it on.
Pete saw him wearing the Leeds City No. 14 jersey, smiled and nodded: "Well, sure enough. It's still the way you look pleasing... OK, go and say goodbye to them."
He patted Hu Lai on the back and pushed him to the stand.
Seeing Hu Lai put on the Leeds City jersey, in addition to applause, there was a burst of cheers.
"Ah, Hu put on the Leeds City shirt again! Then he caressed his heart and kept bowing slightly to the stands... Seeing this scene, I believe many Leeds City fans must be very happy... If you must say If there is any regret, it is that Hu did not have the opportunity to make his signature celebration in this stadium..."
Matthew Cox said affectionately.
"Before the game, the Leeds fans had a huge event. On the surface, they seemed to hope that Hu could celebrate the goal in the game... But I think they might just want to see the team again in Flanders. The hero fell from the sky. After all, the last time they saw this scene at their home court was on May 16 this year, the last round of the Premier League, when Hu scored his last goal in Flanders. There was obviously no one at the time. Realized that that goal was Hu's farewell to this stadium...
"Perhaps the fans in Leeds just want to make up for the shortcoming in their hearts, and the shortcoming of not being able to bid farewell to Hu at home..."
※※※
A song suddenly sounded on the live broadcast. It was not Leeds’s team song, nor was it "The Song of Hu", but a very classic old song, but the lyrics were slightly different from the original. (Note 1)
The singing was melodious, and the Leeds fans all began to sing along:
"Cityroads"
City road
"Takemehome"
take me Home
"Tothe; Ibelong"
To where I grew up
"WestYorkshire, MountainMama!"
West Yorkshire, Mother Mountain
"Cityroads"
City road
"Takemehome"
take me Home
"Cityroads"
"Takemehome"
Every Leeds City fan in the stands opened their arms and sang to the music.
This is a chorus of 30,000 people.
He Feng listened to the singing at the scene, and couldn't help saying: "Leeds City is the first stop for Hulay to land in Europe. In a sense, this is indeed his home in Europe. He grew up from an unknown person to Leeds City. No one knows the "Mr. Billion Yuan". He has made Leeds City, and Leeds City has made him. They met in the most beautiful time and wrote a legend about dreams and love together. I am still there. I still remember that on the New Year’s Day two and a half years ago, Hu Lai represented Leeds in the Premier League for the first time. He opened the door to a new world for us..."
Following He Feng's narration, many Chinese fans in front of the TV also seemed to have returned to the Spring Festival that year.
Hu Lai came off the bench and scored the first goal of a Chinese player in the history of the Premier League.
That was the beginning of a legend!
And now this legend has ended.
In the following days, whether it is Hulay or Leeds, they will have to embark on their own different paths, just like Hulay and Pete Williams in the game.
"Leeds City fans have prepared a song for Hu Lai's return, and I also have a song I want to give to Hu Lai's past years in Leeds!"
Then He Feng read:
"The past is unforgettable, as warm as yesterday, but still lingering in my heart. Don't rush and cherish each other, can you be deeply affectionate? The flowers bloom and fall, so many times like a dream, I hope you don't forget me..." (Note 2)
※※※
In the singing, Hu Lai came to the bottom of the North Stand and waved to thank the Leeds City fans.
Everyone squeezed forward desperately, extended their arms to Hu Lai, shouting: "Hu! Hu! Hu!!!"
The security and police at the scene surrounded them like enemies.
They weren't afraid that Hu Lai would be in danger.
Rather, I was worried that so many fans would squeeze in the forefront, which would cause a squeeze and stampede accident.
Seeing that the situation at the scene was out of control, Hu Lai waved his hand again and again, and then backed away.
The fans were still yelling, reaching out as if they wanted to keep him.
It wasn't until Hu Lai finally retreated into the player channel that the avid fans gradually regained their senses.
In the north stand, Levin looked at the direction of the player's entrance and asked blankly: "He... is he leaving now?"
"Yeah, let's go, Levin." David Miller said.
"This farewell is actually very good, except for one thing-we didn't give them a success in front of those Spanish fans." John sighed.
"Forget it, John. I believe those Spaniards will always learn." David Miller patted John on the shoulder.
"Who the cares if the Spaniard can learn it! I just want to cooperate with Hu at the Flanders Stadium and shout for him once..." Levin murmured next to him. "As a result, we never had such a chance again."
This time David Miller did not comfort him, because he felt sorry for it too.
Saying so much is actually an excuse, they just want to satisfy their selfishness.
A group of people stood in silence for a while, and the shouts at the scene gradually subsided.
David Miller said: "Let’s go, guys, let’s go back to the White Rose for a drink. Anyway, we finally gave Hu a grand farewell..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion from the direction of the west stand.
Little Matthew pointed over there and exclaimed: "Dad, look at it!"
Everyone followed the prestige and saw that Hu Lai, who had already retired, suddenly ran out of the player channel!
The Leeds City fans who were reluctant to leave after the game all saw this scene, and did not expect that Hulai, who had already left, could return to the game.
They all cheered.
Amidst cheers, Hu Lai, who reappeared on the sidelines, waved to everyone first, then pointed to the court under the north stand, and then he ran to that side.
David Miller, who was dumbfounded by Hu Lai's return in the stands, suddenly reacted and shouted, "Quick! Guys! Get ready!"
Others also came back to their senses, knowing what Hu Lai was going to do.
Although they were very excited, they were all suppressed.
As a result, the Flanders stadium, which was still thunderous in cheers before, suddenly fell silent.
The 1,100 Madrid Pirates fans at the southeast corner were leaving the stadium. They were also attracted by this sudden scene. They stopped and looked curiously inside the stadium.
They want to see what the Leeds City fans are going to do.
I saw Hu Lai, who ran to the north stand, adjusted his pace, sprinted, and then... leaped high!
"preparation--!"
Countless fans in the stands raised their arms.
When Han Shuyu in the media gallery saw Hu Lai suddenly returning to the stadium, she turned on the mobile phone shooting function. At this time, she also realized what would happen next.
She even held her breath, as if she was afraid that she would be out of rhythm.
In the air, Hu Lai folded his arms on his chest, and after turning 180 degrees in the air, he fell.
At the same time he opened his legs and waved his arms down from his chest.
At this moment, those Madrid pirates fans clearly heard the breathing movement of the Leeds City fans.
When Hu Lai fell from the sky with his feet firmly on the ground, showing his number and name behind his back...
The thunder over the Flemish stadium arrived on time:
"HUUUUU!!!"
