Chapter 234: to get ahead

"Oh oh oh oh! Merry—!!"
With the roar of the commentator in a long voice, the Crown Stadium fell into jubilation.
"Melime Melli!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! It was only three minutes into the game and he opened the scoring for the Kings! It was his 31st league goal of the season! By the way, he is now away from the top scorer Hu is still two goals away!"
"There were some rumours before the game...now it turns out that those rumours are justified. It's going to be difficult for Saria, who has nothing to do, to stop the Kings on the road...and there's no reason for them to do it - if they do It dragged the king's footsteps, but finally let the city's mortal enemy Catalonia win the league championship, I'm afraid Saria can't accept this result..."
After the celebration, Merry and his teammates returned to the half. Halfway through, Merry turned and threw three punches in a row in the direction of the North Stand.
And the most die-hard King of Madrid fans in the north stand of the Crown Stadium also responded to him with three short and high-pitched cheers in a row.
Zhang Qinghuan watched this scene with his hands on his hips, very helpless.
He felt that his body wasn't running hot, he didn't even sweat, Merry scored a goal...
This Argentine genius is still as powerful as ever... No, he is even more powerful than the last time I saw him!
At least the last time at Saria's home, Mélica didn't score in the opening three minutes.
"Stay steady! The game has just started, we still have time!"
Zhang Qinghuan heard the team's captain, center defender Rojo Calidos, loudly boosting the morale of the players.
At this time, the players of the King of Madrid have all returned to their own half. They stood in their respective positions and waited for the kick-off.
From Zhang Qinghuan's point of view, the King's players seemed to be taller and bigger than usual, and the eyes they looked at were typical..."Neizhi".

"Oops!"
Seeing the picture uploaded from the tablet computer, Xie Lan sighed in disappointment, and then leaned back on the back of the sofa.
Seeing her limp look, Hu Lixin laughed: "I just said don't have any hope for Saria, you still have to watch the match between the Pirates and Catalan United. As long as the Pirates can win, then No surprises."
Xie Lan did not refute, but she did not turn off the other live broadcast signal on the tablet.
Anyway, the sound has been turned very low, and it will not affect their watching the Pirates and Catalan game.
The little bit of luck in her heart was not extinguished with her husband's words.

"The king scored? How long has it been..."
Second assistant coach Enzo Nacher was surprised by the news from the visiting team's bench at Sagrada Familia.
The first assistant coach Valentine shrugged: "Isn't this normal? Do you really expect Sarya to stop the king?"
"That being said, it's always a matter of luck..."
Coach Parrotti interrupted their discussion: "Don't care what happens over there, as long as we can beat Catalan United, the championship is ours. We don't need to look at anyone's face."
When he said this, his eyes never took his eyes off the court.
On the field, the Madrid Pirates who played away from the game actively attacked and looked for opportunities to score goals.
As if this was their home ground.
This kind of violent offensive is obviously not what the Catalan United did.
So now the Pirates are pressing the Catalan United on the road...
For this game, Parrotti sent his strongest lineup.
Maxi Carey only played for ten minutes as a substitute in the last round of the league, just to ensure that he has relatively sufficient physical strength in this game to cooperate with the team's offensive tactics.
If you want to suppress the Catalan United on the road, you must get ahead.
But if you can't score goals all the time, the so-called "first mover" is useless.
The first goal is to establish the score and psychological advantage first, and also create room for manoeuvre.
If you can't score the first goal, let the Catalans stabilize their position and drag the Pirates into the quagmire, then this game will not be easy to play. The Catalan United at home will always come through gradually.
After all, they are no less powerful than pirates.
Parrotti watched Hu Lai and Carey on the field.
He has high hopes for the striker formed by these two people, and hopes that they can live up to his hopes, at least not to let him lose confidence in next season's tactics...
He believes that Hu Lai and Kyrie can be the best striker combination in La Liga.
He still insists on this view to this day, even if the pair has never really formed due to various reasons.

Maxi Carey dropped back to midfield to receive the ball.
When he received the football, Catalan United midfielder Pedro Insua had already pasted up from behind him, putting his hands on Kyrie's midfielder, preventing him from turning around easily.
[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]
After Kyrie caught the ball, he used the outer instep of his right foot to dial the football to the outside, ready to turn around.
Insuya rushed forward immediately, stretched out her feet to block it, and at the same time pushed her body up.
Carey used the toe of his right foot to pull the ball back.
Insuya rushed back.
Just as he rushed back, Kyrie, who had his back to him, stepped on the football with his right foot and pulled it behind him, and the ball jumped between Insua's legs!
Immediately afterwards, Carey used his right foot as the axis and quickly turned around!
Just left Insuya behind!
There was an exclamation from the stands of the Sagrada Familia.
This exclamation made Insua unable to hang on his face. He turned around and quickly chased after him. At the same time, he stretched out his foot and stabbed the football. He looked like he couldn't stop football and wanted to keep Kyrie...
But Carey once again pulled the football back with the sole of his right foot, shaking off Insua, who was rushing over his head!
The exclamation grew louder.
"Good guy! Carey showed them what 'art' is at the Catalan United home!" He Feng also exclaimed.
Carey, who shook off Insuya lightly, did not drive the ball forward directly, but raised his right leg and made a long pass, transferring the football from the left side of the court to the right front.
There, Di Kunzone cut to attract Catalan's defensive attention, while leaving wide space for right-back Ira Susta.
"Nice transfer! Carey's field of vision is quite wide!"
Irasusta almost stopped the football on the touchline, which can be said to be the limit of the ball.
However, it also avoided the volley of the Catalan players in the middle.
After Irasusta stopped the ball, he immediately passed the football to Di Kunzo, who stepped forward to meet him, and he continued to move forward.
The Catalan left-back Francisco Cadron was immediately faced with a situation of choosing one of the two - what about Di Quinzo, who stepped forward to press for the ball? Or retreat and follow Irashusta who is plugged in?
He chose to retreat with Irasusta.
Di Kunzo's defensive pressure is much lighter.
He tried to dribble sideways against Victor Campsano's one-man defense.
Caderon, who had retreated with Irasusta, saw Dikunzo cut in horizontally, and his attention was immediately attracted. Just then he saw Di Kunzo push the football sideways with his left foot in the process of dribbling sideways... It was exactly the gap between Calderon and center back Jimenez!
And the direction of his pass is the bottom line...
Calderon came back to his senses~EbookFREE.me~ and saw that Irasusta had circled behind him, chasing after the football!
This completely messed up the defense in front of the Catalan United.
Some of them went to fight Irasusta, some went back to the defense, and some went to Hulai.
Looking for Hu Lai?
Why are you looking for Hu Lai?
It was thought that in this chaos, the Catalan defenders lost trace of Hu Lai - French central defender Paul Fortune looked back at Hu Lai who was behind him, and found that there was no one there!
He hurriedly turned his head in another direction, but there was still no one there!
Just when Fortune just took his eyes back, Irasusta made a pass!
He sent the football from between the goalkeeper and the back line to the goal!
This passing route is very thief. It not only makes it inconvenient for goalkeeper Carlos Cordero to attack, but also makes it difficult for the Catalan defenders to stretch their feet to clear the siege, because it is easy to cause an own goal...
Fortune could only watch the football pass by him, even if he didn't have time to step, he didn't dare to step.
His eyes followed the football and looked back, in the direction he first looked back to Hu Lai, this time he finally found Hu Lai!
The latter is kicking his right foot to the football!
The goalkeeper Kordero turned and rushed back, and the midfielder Insuya shoveled Hulai...but they were all too late!
Under everyone's attention, Hu Lai swept the rolling football into the goal with a clean kick!
"Hu... Hu Lai! Goal scored!! Good job! Hu Lai!! Nine minutes into the game, Hu Lai opened the scoring for the Madrid Pirates! They have a fantastic start!"
In front of He Feng's cheers, Xie Lan, Yan Yan, Chu Yifan and the others all jumped up!
It was this moment that they had been waiting for since the beginning of the game! (To be continued)
