Chapter 164: Xia Xiaoyu's practice

"...Hu scored three very good goals against the King of Madrid, but after the game Hu attributed his hat-trick to 'good luck', which he believed was because he was in the Only after completing the 'Mary's Lucky Coin' ceremony before the game can he score three goals in the game... But I don't see it that way, except for the second goal, the remaining two goals are all a manifestation of his strength... ... Of course I'm not saying that there is no luck element at all, if there is no luck at all, it is indeed impossible. It's just that his own strength is more important..."
Xia Xiaoyu is watching news about the Madrid derby on a Portuguese news website.
A match in Spain next door was widely reported in the Portuguese media.
This is not something out of the ordinary, incredible.
It was a Madrid derby after all, a dialogue between two giants.
The influence of such games is worldwide.
Not just in Portugal, but in other parts of the European continent, from as far away as East Asia to the Americas, there are countless people watching the game.
Any player who performs well in such a performance can achieve "one-ball fame" worldwide.
But Hu Lai doesn't need to rely on the Madrid derby to become famous, he has already become famous.
Since the end of the Madrid derby, Xia Xiaoyu has seen reports of the game in many Portuguese media throughout the day. .
The focus of their reports is basically Hu Lai.
After all, he scored a hat-trick in the game.
Xia Xiaoyu also saw that these Portuguese media did not have some kind of curious mentality towards Hu Lai, as if it was incredible for a Chinese player to play well.
They introduced Hu Lai's various performances, and they just discussed him as a player of the Madrid Pirates.
They rarely even mention the word "China".
Just like reporting on Meli, there should be no media highlighting Meli's "Argentine" identity now, as if it is an amazing thing for an Argentine to play football well.
This is completely different from Xia Xiaoyu's own treatment.
He has also been featured in Portuguese media.
When he first joined Alvara, the local media in Lisbon, Portugal also reported on him at length.
However, in their reports, they always specifically mentioned their identity as a "Chinese player". They also mentioned that Xia Xiaoyu was the first Chinese player to join Alvara. They also took this opportunity to introduce Chinese football and China to the audience they reported.
It looks like Xia Xiaoyu is the link between the two countries.
Xia Xiaoyu believes that when Hu Lai landed in the Premier League, the English media would do the same when reporting.
The media are not malicious, they can even be said to be full of goodwill.
But Xia Xiaoyu still knew the meaning behind this kindness.
The reason why the current media does not do this when referring to Hu Lai is that Hu Lai's name has gone beyond other additional meanings.
So just mention "Hu Lai".
Everyone will naturally know who it was and what he did.
Compared with Hu Lai, Xia Xiaoyu knew that he still had a long way to go.
For example, in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, he does not know whether he can enter the squad.
All the Chinese media are hyping up the "China Derby" in the Champions League.
During this time, outside the Jose Tarcisio training base in Alvara, Xia Xiaoyu saw many faces of Chinese journalists.
Obviously, they're all here for themselves, for the Champions League match between Alvara and Tramede.
Xia Xiaoyu was a little worried, he even hoped that the Chinese media would not pay so much attention to him...
Not to mention the stupid question of running and asking coach Pedro Quita if he can make the roster.
In case of angering the manager, it is not as simple as not being able to play in the Champions League...
[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】
This season, he has always been a regular substitute in Alvara. More than half of the season, he has played a total of 19 times in all competitions, including three starts and sixteen substitute appearances.
Two of the three starts were in the Portuguese Cup and one in the league.
Only one of the sixteen substitute appearances was in the Champions League, the other fifteen were all in the league.
He's an addition to the team's roster, but definitely not an indispensable core.
Xia Xiaoyu, who is better at organizing offense, has almost become a midfielder in Al Lava - he was once replaced and played for ten minutes, and the task is only one: defense.
At that time, the team was leading by a goal, and the game time was running out. He was replaced to help set the bus.
He has also made a cameo appearance as a winger, trying to break through and send out crosses on the sidelines where he is not used to.
In short, he will go wherever he is needed.
Just like a screw, he will do whatever the team needs him to do, without any complaints.
No matter what position he plays and what task the head coach gives him, he diligently completes the task assigned to him.
Even if he is not good at defense, he takes advantage of his abundant physical strength as a substitute to run tirelessly and try his best to intercept the opponent.
He doesn't have the "pretentiousness" of some players at all. He feels that he is an organizational midfielder and can only organize the attack in the middle. Any other position and any task are not suitable for him.
Whether it's playing in Alvara's reserve team or playing in the first team, Xia Xiaoyu thinks it's his own tempering and training.
He regards this "doing it as a last resort" as a kind of practice, and then he faces it calmly, and accepts it, not only accepting it but also taking it seriously-whether it's a sapper or a sidewalk, he doesn't perfunctory.
Because he believes that all the efforts made now will be rewarded in the future.
※※※
Alvara announced the 18-man squad for the Champions League game on Monday, a day before Alvara's home game against Tramede.
Xia Xiaoyu's name is in it.
All the Chinese fans and the media let out a sigh of relief - regardless of whether Xia Xiaoyu can play or not, at least it is possible to play.
This "China Derby", maybe there is a real hope of winning it?
Tramed's side of Roque is naturally among them.
Although he is not yet the main player that Tramedre can't move, Rocca still sits firmly in the rotation with his excellent performance.
He's now the first offensive player Kevin Locke will look to when he needs to change the game.
In some less important games, as a member of the rotation, he also got the opportunity to start.
Such as the FA Cup and the League Cup.
He currently has one goal in the league, one in the FA Cup and one in the League Cup, for a total of three goals.
Although it doesn't seem like much, it is already excellent to have such a performance in a giant team like Tramede.
In fact, as long as they don't compete with Hu Lei, the performance of Chinese overseas players this season can be regarded as outstanding.
If it is not with Hu Lebi, then it is purely your own to find yourself unhappy.

In the Lisbon Arena, Alvara's home stadium, the crowd was full of people.
Home team fans are cheering for their team.
Their team is trailing Tramed 1-3 at home.
"Twenty-five minutes left in the game, and although Lesinho pulled a goal back for the team, they were still two goals behind... If the game ends with this score, then there is little suspense that Alvara will be eliminated. It's... Tramed's attack again!"
As the commentator suddenly raised the volume, Rocca forcibly cut in on the right, then pushed the ball out of a diagonal line with his left foot and gave it to Ricardo Barglia on the other side, who kept the ball and shot directly. .
The football bypassed the fingers of Alvara goalkeeper Ze Ferreira and went straight to the back of the goal.
In the exclamations, the football finally bypassed the far post and missed the bottom line!
The exclamations in the stands turned into the long sighs of the aftermath.
Although Barea was not booed by the Alvara fans when he scored for Tramede in the game, he did not celebrate the goal.
But Alvara fans still don't want their team to actually be eliminated by Tramede.
They just have feelings for Barea, which does not mean that they also have deep feelings for Tramed, where Barea is located.
"Rocca was very active in the starting game today! After he assisted Valeria and scored a goal, he frequently created murderous intentions and caused a lot of trouble for Alvara on the right flank... It can be seen that he has integrated into the team. The team has also been integrated into the tactical system of head coach Kevin Locke. As long as he can play in such a state every game, I believe that becoming the main force of Tramede is not far away for him..."
Hearing what He Feng said, Yan Kang sighed: "Unfortunately, Xia Xiaoyu can only sit on the bench. The 'China Derby' we expected to see did not appear..."
He Feng seems to be comforting him, but he is also comforting the Chinese fans in front of the TV: "It doesn't matter, there will be a wonderful 'China Derby' tomorrow!"
Tomorrow another Champions League quarter-final ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Madrid Pirates will play away to Atlético Amsterdam. Hu Lai, as the attacking core of the Pirates, must be the starter.
And Chen Xingyi has now become the main player of Amsterdam Athletic.
So in tomorrow's game, Chinese fans will definitely be able to see from the first minute of the game that two Chinese players are playing their respective roles in the Champions League, catching and fighting each other, and staged a real "China Derby".

"Our midfield was completely overwhelmed by Tramede and adjustments had to be made."
Alvara's assistant coach Miguel Mancha is advising coach Quetta to make a substitution.
Quitta was kind, and he followed the advice of his assistant.
He quickly made a decision:
"Go and call Xiaoyu back."
※※※
Xia Xiaoyu didn't sit on the bench all the time, especially in the second half when he and other teammates were called up by the coach to warm up.
This is so that when they need to come off the bench, they can be replaced directly without waiting for them to warm up now, forming "instant combat power".
When he heard the assistant coach shouting his name, he was surprised and delighted, realizing that he might be sent to the field!
This is the last substitution for Coach Quetta in this game!
He ran back quickly and stood in front of the head coach.
"Xiaoyu, I need you to come on the court to organize the attack."
When Kuita saw Xia Xiaoyu's first sentence, Xia Xiaoyu's eyes widened.
Did he finally not have to make another panacea? Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
