Chapter 217: The suspense of winning the championship

"Merry shot!"
Merry, who was dribbling sideways, shot with his left foot.
Pamplona's central defender Gagliar Prasueno stepped forward to block, and his hands were naturally open in order to maintain his balance.
But it is precisely because of his subconscious action that it brought disaster to the team!
His outstretched arm hits the football!
Or to be more precise, it should be the football shot by Meli...on Prasueno's arm!
"Eh? This ball... Prasueno is a handball!"
After finishing the shot, Merry raised his arm for the first time and complained to the referee.
The other Kings of Madrid players also raised their arms high and slapped their arms with the other hand, indicating that Prasueno was a handball foul!
The referee's whistle sounded decisively, and at the same time pointed to the penalty spot!
"A penalty kick! A penalty kick was awarded! In the 84th minute of the game, the King of Madrid won a penalty kick! In fact, whether or not this penalty kick has no effect on the result of the game, the King of Madrid has already 3: 0 ahead of Pamplona…

The commentator Sanchez said so, but he obviously did not understand the situation inside the King of Madrid team.
For example, why did the King of Madrid let Meli come off the bench in this game even though the Madrid Pirates did not let Hulai enter the squad for the game against Valentia?
This is because Meli wants to catch up with Hu Lai in the league's top scorer list, so Roive gave him 25 minutes of playing time.
So it is very important for Merry to have this penalty.
Now, after coming off the bench, he finally has a chance to score!
In the end, Merry stood in front of the penalty spot, and he was going to personally take the penalty he created.
There was no suspense. After the whistle sounded, Merry made it overnight, and the football flew into the goal!
"4:0!! The King of Madrid leads Pamplona 4:0 at home! Before the Pirates' game was played, they temporarily surpassed their city rivals in the standings and ranked first!"
After scoring the goal, Merry was very excited. He threw three hard punches at the Kings fans in the north stand of the Crown Stadium!
"This is Meli's 27th league goal of the season! For Meli, it's been a season where he's fully developed. Last season he only scored thirteen goals in the league, not yet this season. At the end, his league goals have doubled from last season... Although this is related to Roive's adjustment of tactics, Meli's performance has not lived up to Roive's expectations for him!"
Why else would Merry be said to be a top talent?
As a winger who played mostly on the flanks last season, Meli scored just thirteen league goals. But after gaining the right to fire this season, it took less than a season for him to complete the change in his tactical role. At the same time, after continuous training, his shooting skills also improved rapidly, and he was able to score so many goals. .
Blacksmith need its own hardware.
If his own shooting skills are not good enough, then no matter how he takes care of it tactically, it will not be easy for him to score so many goals.

"He did it! Four goals to go!"
Assistant coach Gonzalez cheered in front of the Madrid King's bench.
As the Madrid Pirates have announced the squad for tomorrow's away game against Valentia, Hu Lai is not among them. So Merry really caught up with Hu Lai further.
From six goals behind to four goals behind.
There are still three rounds left in the league, maybe it really can?
"He has a fire in his heart..." Coach Roive nodded approvingly. "I feel that after the Champions League semi-finals, although he didn't win, he became more fierce. Take advantage of this and we can definitely make a comeback at home!"
※※※
After the celebration, Merry and his teammates ran back to their own half.
With an excited smile on his face, he was clearly in a good mood.
When he came off the bench, he only had twenty minutes of performance time, but he still seized the opportunity to score a goal, and finally did not let himself do anything in vain.
Although it is said to be scored by a penalty kick, this penalty kick was also created by him, so it is not considered to be taking advantage of it. .
Not much playing time, but good performance.
Merry continued his performance in the Champions League.
But if someone uses this to praise him, he should not approve.
Because he felt he didn't do well in the Champions League semi-finals.
If it was good, the King of Madrid would not have lost the game, and at the very least should have won a draw - the last shot, he should have grasped.
There was also the second goal scored by the Pirates, which was launched after Ramirez broke a pass to himself.
At that time, he tried to defend, but it was just a simple act... If he could work harder, or simply put Ramirez to the ground, even if he paid the price of a yellow card, he would not have the goal behind Kyrie. ah.
So although everyone praised Merry's performance after the game, he himself was not satisfied.
For this reason, he has been holding back a lot of energy in his heart.
In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final next Wednesday, he will never leave himself any regrets.
He and Hu Lai have played against each other four times since the Olympics.
All four times, he lost.
So he thinks the debates on the Internet about who is stronger between him and Hu Lai are ridiculous.
If I'm really better than Hu Lai, then why haven't I won a single time yet?
Regardless of how I perform in the game, the results are there. If you don't win, you don't win, and it's useless to find more reasons and excuses.
The whole world says that Meli Banega is the top superstar after the "Four Heavenly Kings".
But if I can't beat Hu, then I'm not qualified to accept the compliments everyone gives.
Because I don't deserve it!
There are also fans who give reasons for Meli's failure, saying that football is a collective sport, and the failure of the King of Madrid cannot prove Meli's failure.
Merry also does not agree with this statement. As a key player of the Kings, the team's failure is indeed his personal failure.
Moreover, the overall strength of the king is not weak, even slightly stronger than that of the pirates.
Then why can't the king win?
Hu Lai can help the Pirates win the game, why can't I help the King win?
Am I worse than him?
Meli does not accept this conclusion, he must lead the King of Madrid to defeat Hulai.
※※※
Merry scored the penalty in the 86th minute, with a few minutes to go before the end of the game.
When the game resumed, Merry, who had already scored, was still very active.
He also wants to score.
If he is only satisfied with scoring one goal in a game, he will not be able to catch up with Hu Lai by the end of the league.
So he wants to hurry up and score another goal.
But this time Pamplona did not meet Merry's wish.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score did not change, and it was fixed at 4:0.
The Kings of Madrid beat Pamplona by four goals at home.
In this game, they used a rotation lineup, but Pamplona was not strong, and the Kings played at home again, so they won by four goals in the end.
In the league between the two Champions League semi-finals, they passed smoothly.
The Madrid Pirates who are also in rotation are not so easy to pass. They ushered in a strong enemy in this round:
Valentia.
It's really a narrow road - Valentia has just been eliminated by the Pirates in the Champions League quarter-finals.
It's really revenge for the injustice, revenge for the revenge.
Moreover, neither Hu Lai nor Carey came away with the team this time, and the rotation of the Madrid Pirates was very large.
It almost makes one wonder if Parrotti is about to give up the domestic league.
In the face of the aggressive Valendia, Parrotti let the team play defensive counterattacks.
Except for the back line, almost all other positions have been rotated.
In the last game, he came on as a temporary substitute, and Betia, who played in place of the injured Amantegui, also started the game.
Parrotti hopes that he can play more games and find the feeling of the game.
There is no problem with Betia's physical fitness. Parrotti is not worried that after playing this game, he will not be able to cope with the Champions League semi-final with the King of Madrid.
After Amantegui was out for the season, the only solution Parrotti could find was to let Betia come on top.
Antonio Betia is in the team, itself a regular rotation.
He was trained by the Madrid Pirates club's own youth academy, and was in the same class as Joaquín Bella.
The ability is slightly weaker, but the victory lies in being loyal enough to the team to let him play as a substitute, and he has no complaints and no temper. He is very clear about his position and knows that he cannot compete with the main combination of Moreno and Amantegui, but he still enjoys playing for the team he has supported since he was a child. Low wages and not being able to play in the main force are not a problem for him, because he has realized his childhood dream.
It can be said that unless the Pirates club does not need him, he will not take the initiative to apply for a transfer to leave.
Such a player is an indispensable role in any team, and is also liked by any head coach.
For substitute players, ability is not the most important thing. Otherwise, who is willing to be a substitute if he has the ability?
Valentia launched a fierce attack on the Pirates goal from the start of the game.
They were vengeful and wanted to beat the Madrid Pirates at home.
As long as they can beat the Madrid Pirates, the King of Madrid can take the opportunity.
Although Valendia is not a supporter of the King, if the Pirates can lose the league title, it will be avenged for being knocked out of the Champions League by the Pirates.
The aggressive Valendia also did advance the ball.
But they were only happy for 18 minutes, just before the end of the first half, they were equalized by the Madrid Pirates.
The goal is the rotation of the game's starting center forward Ruiz.
Then Valentia fought fiercely.
But even if they paid the price of a red card, they still failed to rewrite the score.
The score of 1:1 remained until the end, and the Madrid Pirates took one point away.
As a result, the Madrid Pirates accumulated 89 points, the same as the King. With the advantages of the relationship between the two sides, the Pirates still ranked first.
It's just that this first place is not guaranteed~EbookFREE.me~ The suspense of winning the championship has surged.
In this round of the league, the Catalan United, without the interference of the Champions League, defeated Real Cateron 3:2 away.
Assuming that before the final round of the league, all three teams maintain a complete victory, then the points situation should be that the Madrid Pirates are the first with 95 points, the King of Madrid is the second with 95 points, and the Catalan United with 93 points. name.
If Catalonia want to win the title, they must beat the Madrid Pirates at home, and at the same time have to rely on their city rivals to help them beat the King of Madrid on the road.
In this way, the hope of Catalan winning the championship is the slimmest.
The king is the easiest, they only need to defeat the weak Saria at home.
The Madrid Pirates, who have been in the lead for most of the season, are very likely to lose the league title in the end.
If this really happened, it would be a capital tragedy...
