Chapter 184: not as expected

Sarria fans, who were travelling with the team, danced and cheered loudly in the stands at Pirates Park.
The Madrid Pirates fans in the stands next to them fell silent.
The score was just refreshed on the big screen at the scene:
0:1
The Madrid Pirates at home are behind!
In front of their goal, the Sarria players are running wild to celebrate.
The Argentine striker Carlos Torrado who scored the goal ran to Zhang Qinghuan, who was already waiting for him with open arms - this goal was scored by Zhang Qinghuan's assist and Torrado!
"Zhang Qinghuan's fifth assist in the league this season! He assisted Torado to score, and Saria led the Madrid Pirates 1:0 away!"
"Just played two national team games, and the Madrid Pirates with more international players are not in shape as a whole. Although Parrotti has rotated, the players still look very tired. Affected by the state of the whole team, Hu Lai's goal today is The previous feeling was also very ordinary... and Saria was obviously prepared. They took a high press on the road somewhat unexpectedly, which made the Madrid Pirates unprepared. Facing Saria's high press, the Madrid Pirates It was a very difficult first half..."

"Ah, hell! They caught our weakness..."
In front of the home team's coaching bench on the sidelines, assistant coach Valentine complained.
"Casas played a card that none of us expected..." Parrotti also shook his head and sighed helplessly. . .
His coaching staff never imagined before the game that Saria would adopt a high-position pressing strategy from the very beginning of the game, using tireless running to deal with the Madrid Pirates' pass.
The physical fitness of the Madrid Pirates players was affected by the national team's game, and they were generally not good, and it was difficult to cope with Saria's frantic pressing.
"Their physical fitness is so good..."
"The main reason is that they have few international players," Parrotti said.
The lack of international players means that the team is relatively weak, but at this special moment, the lack of international players has become Saria’s advantage.
The impact of the national team game on them is relatively small, so they can have relatively sufficient physical strength to implement this pressing tactic on the road.
At the same time, as the team's offensive organizer, Zhang Qinghuan did not travel to China, which is thousands of miles away, to participate in the top 40 this time, so he is very physically fit and can keep up with the rhythm of high-level pressing.
In the first half, the Madrid Pirates' physical fitness was slightly better, and they played very hard. They played indistinguishably with Saria and scored 0:0.
After a fifteen-minute break at half-time, the Madrid Pirates thought things would get better. After all, they won a respite.
As a result, Saria made rapid efforts at the beginning of the second half, and then finally broke the deadlock just nine minutes into the second half.
At that time, Zhang Qinghuan and teammate Mikel Lecco teamed up to break Tonini's ball, and then quickly sent a through ball.
Torado was successful in anti-offside, ran smartly into the space, adjusted slightly after catching the ball and kicked the goal.
This time Heywell was not able to play the role of a father, and could only lie on the ground and watch the football come in.
Pirates goal declared lost.
"Saria's high pressing is very effective. If they continue to press like this, our players are not able to play the ball... We have to make changes," Valentine said. "I think it's time for Kyrie to play."
Parrotti glanced at the time. It was the 60th minute of the game. If Kyrie was replaced at this time, he would have about 30 minutes left.
Two goals in thirty minutes...it's a bit difficult, but it should be possible.
Thinking of this, Parrotti nodded and accepted Valentine's suggestion.
※※※
Soon Maxi Carey was on the side of head coach Parrotti.
The narrators were all excited when they saw this scene:
"Wow! Kyrie's going to be replaced! He's finally back on the court after missing six months due to ankle surgery!"
"Maxi Carey, the legendary player of the Pirates of Madrid, he has brought countless honors to the team. Now he is in danger again!"
Not only the commentators, but the fans in the stands also stood up from their seats, ready to applaud Kyrie who was about to play.
As the number one player in helping the team win the league title, the Copa del Rey and the Europa League, Maxi Carey has a very high status in the hearts of Madrid Pirates fans.
It can even be said...a little higher than Hu Lai. Because of the emotional addition.
Hu Lai had just arrived after all.
Carey has been with this team for seven years, and the emotions that accompany them are more than those honors can match.
Applause from the stands erupted and grew louder as Carey stood on the sidelines waiting to replace Di Kunzo.
Sophia in the box also stood in front of the seats with her two children and applauded for Carey.
"What a touching scene! Although in the past two seasons, due to two serious injuries and missing two-thirds of the game, so many people forget that Kyrie is actually still in the Pirates, but the fans of the Pirates have always been Remember him! The applause is the best comeback gift for Kyrie!"
After high-fiving Di Kunzo on the sidelines, Carey ran onto the court.
While playing, he also drew a cross on his chest clockwise.
It was a simple prayer, hoping that the he believed in would bring him good luck in the game.

Applause erupted in Pirates Park as Maxi Carey ran onto the court.
In such a touching scene, Sarria head coach Arnold Casas turned his attention to Kyrie and instead of feeling troubled, a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing Maxi Carey's name in the Madrid Pirates' roster yesterday, he realized that Parrotti's putting Carey back from injury into this list must not be for nothing.
Now, as he guessed, Kyrie came off the bench.
As for when Kyrie can return to the court, in fact, as early as when he practiced together with the team, there were discussions in the media.
Waiting until now to appear is no longer a surprise, but a late arrival - Casas believes that Carey can already play for the Madrid Pirates.
But it took so long to be included in the competition roster.
What does this mean?
Does it mean that Carey's injury recovery is not smooth?
Perhaps it also shows that the team is very cautious about Kyrie's comeback.
Especially Carey himself thinks so.
Otherwise, why has there been no voice that Carey wants to make an early comeback?
Casas thinks this may mean that Carey himself is cautious.
If he really thinks so, he's doing himself a big favor...
Amid thunderous applause, Casas made a special gesture after waving his arms towards the field, attracting the attention of his players.
Every Saria player who saw the gesture immediately understood what they should do in the next game.

Maxi Carey ran onto the court, breathing the slightly grassy air, and the fans were shouting in his ears.
All this was both foreign and familiar to him.
After a long wait, he finally set foot on the court again.
This is the moment he's been looking forward to for a long time, and he's going to give those who laughed at him, criticized him, gave up hope for him, and even forgot about him, a loud slap in the face!
I, Maxi Carey, are back!
I am still the best "MAX"!
When the Madrid Pirates attacked, Carey raised his arm and signaled his teammates to pass him the ball.
But in fact, he doesn't have to do this, his teammates will pass the ball to him.
Because in day-to-day training, Carey's role is clear and everyone knows it.
Although he is a striker, he has to use his foot skills and creativity to be responsible for the tandem attack after he comes on the court.
The ball will naturally be handed to him.
Carey watched the football rolling towards him, and an idea popped into his mind—he thought of Hulay's turn against Peralta against the King of Madrid.
He decided to show Hu Lai a more dashing look.
So he raised his foot in front of the football and made preparations to catch the ball, but when the football rolled to him, he let it go and turned around suddenly!
That way when he turns around, the ball will pass between the defender's legs.
But Kyrie didn't succeed, because just as he turned around, he was slammed out by another Sarria player who was slashing from the side.
Even the 1.9-meter Carey couldn't compete with this kind of power in motion, and he was knocked down neatly to the ground.
The referee's whistle and boos followed.
The fouled Saria player Mikel Lecco hurriedly made an apologetic gesture to the running referee, which allowed him to avoid a yellow card.
The referee only gave him a verbal warning and did not play a card.
Carey was lying on the ground, clutching the rib that was hit, grinning in pain.
I don't know if it's psychological or if it's really that painful.
Holding his ribs, he slowly turned over and got up from the ground.
Such a collision is indeed much more violent than in training...
Carey moved a little after getting up, he was a little worried that he had injured his knee or ankle just now.
Looking at it now, luck is better, and it didn't hurt anywhere.
There is some pain in the waist and ribs, but it should be a hard injury caused by the collision. That's okay, it's just pain.
It's been a while since it hurt.
※※※
When Kyrie got the ball again, this time he didn't try to turn around directly, but just stopped the football at his feet.
But soon Saria's players rushed up from the side and swept the football.
It stands to reason that Carey can completely smash the football away in advance, but he took off on the spot like a conditioned reflex. Although he avoided the "sweeping leg" of the Saria player, the football he originally stepped on was broken...
"Oh, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Carey threw the ball... He seems to care about his feet a little bit, and he was too easy to hide just now..."
Although Kyrie quickly chased back after losing the ball, it was too late.
The opponent had already passed the football away.
Carey shook his fist angrily.
I don’t know if I am dissatisfied with losing the ball, or I am dissatisfied with the moment I jumped up to dodge...
But in short, it was only after half a year that he finally set foot on the court again, but what he encountered was not what Maxi Carey imagined.
He is not welcome here.
