Chapter 208: arrogance

Remember [New] for a second,! "Damn it! Damn it! ＊＊＊＊＊! ＊＊＊! ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊! ＊＊!"
After seeing the "substitution" signal from the team doctor Nick Kitt from the field, no matter how good-tempered "good guy" Parrotti was, he couldn't help but scolded a series of swear words in his native language.
The swear words were too dirty to be displayed and were automatically replaced with "" signs.
Coupled with the rich gestures unique to the Italians, it fully proves how bad Parrotti is now.
This is simply the best portrayal of "the house leaks and it rains overnight" - while losing the ball first, his main central defender was injured!
Kepa Amantegui has been the main centre-back for the Pirates of Madrid for the past eight seasons. He is one metre tall, has excellent air defense, is physically strong and is good at frontal defense.
Although the turn is a little slower, as a central defender, this is not a big problem.
Besides, Riva Moreno, who is his partner, is more flexible and can make up for this problem very well.
In the 2026 World Cup in the United States and Canada, Amantegui, as the main center back of the Spanish national team, won the World Cup trophy for the second time for the team and made great contributions.
After winning the World Cup, Amantegui announced his withdrawal from the national team and devoted all his energy to the club.
In fact, Amantegui was only 33 years old at the time, and he was still in his prime as a centre-back.
It is not a problem to deal with the two-line battle between the national team and the club. .
But Amantegui still made such a decision.
After withdrawing from the national team, Amantegui won more rest time, and his body did not turn on the red light. He played consistently and steadily, and was an indispensable and absolute main force for the team.
The injury was his first in nearly two seasons since the World Cup.
As a result, the first time I got injured, I got a big one. My knee was injured and I couldn't keep up with the game, so I had to be replaced.
Maybe after a detailed examination, the injury will become more serious...
Not only can't play this game, but also can't play the league against Valentia next time, and I don't know if I can play the second leg of the next Champions League semi-final against the King of Madrid.
If they can't play, the impact on the Madrid Pirates' defense will be huge and far-reaching.

After Kepa Amantegui was carried off on a stretcher, Parrotti took the initiative to ask about the situation.
"How's it going?" he asked team doctor Nick Kitt.
The latter shook his head at him: "The initial judgment should be a torn cruciate ligament..."
"..." Parrotti took a deep breath and did not continue to swear in front of the players.
Then he squatted down and patted Amantegui, who was lying on the stretcher: "Thank you for your hard work, Kepa. Next, take a good rest..."
Really need a good rest, because he may need to rest until next season...
Substitute central defender Antonio Bettia has been replaced in a hurry--really hastily, without even doing a warm-up, or simply pressing his legs and twisting his waist, even if it is a warm-up. There was really no time to warm up for him. In order to avoid giving the King of Madrid the opportunity to play more and less, it is absolutely impossible to let the game resume without substitutions.
Fortunately, everyone did a warm-up before the game, and the effect should not completely disappear until now.
Let Betia run more and pass the ball to each other a few more times, it should be fine.

Kepa Amantegui is a quiet, low-key player. On the pitch, he is neither as fierce as Moreno, nor as controversial as Peralta. He is a well-established centre-back with a mediocre playing style. Even if he loses the ball, he will rarely become everyone. hotly debated center.
Although the turn is slow, the position selection is good, and most of the time, the problem can be solved by the card position.
But it is definitely not the kind of central defender who plays very cleanly. He will definitely foul when it is time to foul, and he will not be soft when it is time to use underhand tricks.
Although he is close to 1.9 meters tall and has excellent headers, in the Madrid Pirates' frontcourt set-piece tactics, he was mostly responsible for creating header opportunities for his partner Moreno in pick-and-rolls.
These characteristics make him seem to have no sense of existence, and most of the time he is silent so that people will not think of him for the first time.
There are always such players on the football field, that is, when they are on the field, they are not conspicuous, and some people even think why they should be the starters.
Only when these people are not on the field will everyone think of them and realize their goodness.
Amantegui isn't the type of player that makes you question why he's starting, but he's definitely one you'll miss when he's not there - and if Amantegui can be replaced, he won't always be They are the main defenders of the team.
Compared with him, the twenty-six-year-old Antonio Bettia is much more immature.
It stands to reason that the age of 26 is already the age of playing. As long as the strength is outstanding, he should be able to play the main force in the team.
But Betia couldn't take the main position from the thirty-five-year-old Amantegui, which shows what level he is.
After Betia played, he soon became the focus of the King of Madrid's attack.
After the 26-year-old substitute central defender came on the field, he had not had time to enter the game state, which was also the breakthrough of the King of Madrid's attack.
In order to support Betia, the midfielder Ramirez almost became a center back and retreated to the penalty area to help the defense.
And Joaquin Bella shouldered the task of midfield interception.
But he had to deal with the attacking midfielders of the two kings, Dudu Carlos and Albin Estrom, alone.
So the Madrid Pirates followed the recovery of the entire team, basically gave up the attack.
Carey all retreated to the backcourt to participate in the defense. He tried to break the ball from Merry's foot, but the latter threw him off with a flexible pace, then dribbled sideways and then kicked the ball.
If it wasn't for Ramirez to grab it in time, stretch his foot to block, and block the shot with his leg, the ball would have gone straight to the goal.
"Huh!" Pirate fans collectively exhaled from the stands of Pirate Park Stadium.
Meli put her head in her hands, looking very regretful.
Cerrados gave him a thumbs up next to him, indicating that Merry played well.
"Merry's condition is so good..." On the sidelines, assistant coach Valentine frowned and sighed with emotion. "If it goes on like this, Betia is in danger... Ramirez can't help him all the time, as long as he is a little negligent, it may be fatal..."
Parrotti also frowned: "There's no way. Now the king's momentum is very strong, they can kick any way. We can only pass this period of time first."
※※※
Kyrie on the field set his sights on Merry.
Although it was Cerados who scored the goal, this little Argentine became the best and most eye-catching player in the game.
Almost every time he gets the ball, he can arouse the exclamations of the Pirates fans in the stands and make the hearts of the Pirates players on the court faster.
Just like Betia, who was just replaced.
Look at his tense expression, and some stiff movements.
It is estimated that if he can choose, he must not want to be played in the Champions League semi-final against the King of Madrid.
Against Merry, there is always a lot of pressure.
This may be a little too cruel for Betia...
But there is no way, at this time he has to go up. If he can't stand it, once the team's defense line breaks in him, it may be directly collapsed.
Kyrie is a forward, and he can't help much defensively. It's like he tried to break Merry's ball just now, but was thrown away by the opponent.
But who says you can't do anything if you don't defend?
Carey decided to use his own way to help the team turn the situation around, at least to suppress the king's arrogance first.
Show your skills in front of me?
Am I allowed!
※※※
Maxi Carey dropped back to the wing to catch the ball.
Although he is a striker, he is very flexible on the field. Sometimes he looks like a playmaking midfielder, sometimes he looks like a shadow striker, and now he looks like a full-back.
Kyrie, who received the ball, immediately faced the defense of King Madrid midfielder Dudu Carlos.
The latter did not rush up to steal the ball immediately, because he knew that Carey's skills were delicate, and if he rashly made a move, he might be passed by the opponent.
So Dudu Carlos just got stuck about two meters in front of Carey, didn't stretch his foot, didn't stick to it.
Then wait for your teammates to return to the defense and reorganize the defense.
In the face of Dudu Carlos' waiting, Carey leaned slightly to the outside and turned his head at the same time, which made Dudu think that Carey was going to force a breakthrough along the sideline.
So he also turned around and prepared to stick it on.
But at this moment, Carey's right foot gently pushed the football into the field, in the exact opposite direction of his twist!
nolookpass!
Du Du didn't expect Kyrie to do this, he was stunned for a moment - because he remembered that he had confirmed just now that there were no Madrid Pirates players in that direction, so who was Kyrie passing the ball to? Or is this a Carey mistake?
Before Du Du could react, Carey, who was still trying to break through along the wing, suddenly turned back, accelerated and started chasing the football - he just kicked the football lightly, so the ball is not far from him now. !
Not dribbling along the flank, nor "nolookpass", but cutting inside!
Du Du was caught off guard, and when he turned around again, Merry had already cut in front of him and blocked him behind. Unless he committed a foul, he could not stop Carey!
"Wow!!!"
A huge exclamation broke out from the stands at Pirates Park.
"Kyrie! Ow! Fantastic fake! What is this? It's two fakes in a row! Dudu's shaking his head!"
The exclamations over the field quickly turned to cheers.
Carey did not continue to entangle with Dudu Carlos after catching up with the football, and he was worried that the opponent would use the foul to stop the team's counterattack.
So he quickly passed the football out, diagonally to Tonini who responded to him in the middle.
Then keep running forward.
The cheers in the stands grew louder and continued.
The cheers peaked until Kyrie received the ball again in front of the Madrid King's penalty area and took a long shot!
The football flew to the near corner of the goal against the turf, and the King of Madrid goalkeeper Rodriguez Bakr quickly fell to the ground and threw himself, and then bravely pressed the shot directly to the ground~EbookFREE.me~ just as he had just When he was holding the football, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him!
Barker's second reaction was very quick, and he quickly took the football he was holding into his arms and pressed it under him.
Hu Lai, who rushed in front of Buckle, raised his feet, and he could only brake his legs when he saw this.
The cheers eventually turned into huge sighs.
But soon, the sigh disappeared, replaced by applause.
Very warm applause.
Since conceding the ball, this is the most threatening attack by the Madrid Pirates.
Although he didn't score a goal, at least the King of Madrid was scared into a cold sweat. The arrogance of the King of Madrid just now pressing the Pirates was also weakened a lot.
For this wonderful attack, the Madrid Pirates fans should also send a sincere and warm applause for encouragement.
