Chapter 14: king of europe

, !
After returning from the International Champions Cup in the United States, the Madrid Pirates took a break and then set off from Madrid to Budapest, the capital of Hungary.
There they will meet their European Super Cup opponents, the Sevilla Navigators of the Spanish team.
The Sevilla Navigators ended up finishing sixth in La Liga last season, failing to qualify for the Champions League and instead qualify for the Europa League.
Although in the Champions League, the Sevilla navigators can strike hard in the Europa League.
They once again showed why the Europa League is called the "Voyager's Cup" and went all the way to win the Europa League.
Naturally, they will also meet the Champions League champions Madrid Pirates in the European Super Cup.
When seeing this opponent, many people thought, "Let's just award the European Super Cup directly to the Madrid Pirates!"
I don't think the game is suspenseful.
Everyone knows what happens when the Seville navigator encounters the Madrid pirates.
To be precise, everyone knows what happens every time they encounter Hu Lai.
"Famous" after all.
If there is no luck, can the Sevilla Voyagers still win this game?
The game has not yet started, and various optimistic voices have appeared on the Internet.
There is even a joke that is not known whether it is made up or the truth-someone posted a screenshot of the news on the Internet, the news said that the Madrid Pirates defeated the Sevilla Navigator and won the 2029 UEFA Super Cup.
The game is still playing, and the news of the Madrid Pirates' victory came out first! just outrageous...
For a while, many Sevilla Voyager fans shouted "shady".
※※※
Although everyone was optimistic before the game, the actual situation in the game was completely different from what everyone imagined.
The Madrid Pirates, who had 442 in this game, struggled against the Sevilla Navigators.
Hu Lai made his debut and failed to show his "Navigator Famous" demeanor.
The Pirates did not score a goal in the first half, but instead allowed the Navigator to take the lead.
At halftime, Parrotti changed teams, from 442 to 433, removed the striker Danielle Dikun left, who started with Hu Lai, and replaced him with Joaquin Bella.
Joaquin Bella and Ramirez sit in the defensive midfield, and Vukovic is slightly forward to organize the attack.
On the front line, Hu Lai is in the middle, with Tonini on the left and Kamara on the right.
The Madrid Pirates have reverted to the formation they used against Blue and White Munich in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, which was originally intended to strengthen the defence.
But now Parrotti wants to use this lineup to attack.
The Madrid Pirates have to adapt to how they will play without Maxi Carey.
Vukovic has to take on more important work, while Joaquin Bella has to grow up quickly.
Although the lineup and tactics have been changed, the performance of the Madrid Pirates has not improved immediately, and the team is still struggling.
It was the Sevilla Navigator who threatened the Madrid Pirates' goal several times, almost increasing the score on several occasions.
Until the 69th minute, the Madrid Pirates won a free kick in the frontcourt.
Tonini, the team's free-kick master, stood in front of the ball and took the free-kick slightly to the left.
His left foot kicked a very high quality elevator ball.
The soccer ball plummeted over the human wall and got into the goal before Sevilla Navigator keeper Antonio Gakua could swoop in!
Madrid Pirates finally equalized the score!
Next, both sides have some chances, but neither can finish the game.
The game was therefore dragged into overtime.
The European Super Cup chooses a single-game tie-breaker mode. If the game is tied in 90 minutes, then 30 minutes of extra time will be played.
Even after extra time, it was a penalty shootout.
The Sevilla navigator, who was always beaten by the Madrid pirates in the league before, became more excited this time.
It was indistinguishable from the Madrid pirates.
However, they suffered a blowout as soon as overtime began.
Hu Lai, who was limited for 90 minutes, finally caught a mistake on the back line of the Sevilla Navigator and made a smart shot in front of the goal!
Although the goalkeeper of the Sevilla Navigator Garcua fell to the ground and made a save, Hu Lai's shot was very thief, and the football was very fast.
Although Gakua's leg touched the ball, the ball bounced into the goal!
"Wow! It's not easy! Hu Lai finally scored!" Shen Lang, who was explaining the game, let out a sigh of relief.
Since the beginning of the game, Hu Lai has been unable to score goals, and he has been explaining to the audience that because Hu Lai's performance last season was so terrifying, the current opponents have done everything possible to stop Hu Lai.
In order to prevent Hu Lai from scoring, three players of the Sevilla Navigator received yellow cards on Hu Lai in this game, and another player received a yellow card on Kamala, which is also related to Hu Lai-because he did not agree with him. Pulling a foul, the French winger can send the ball to Hu Lai's feet in the penalty area...
"Despite being heavily defended by opponents, Hu Lai was able to seize the opportunity. To be fair, the Sevilla Navigator's back line played quite well. But they still made mistakes. It's not their fault, any Teams make mistakes. It’s just that Hu Lai is really good at taking chances…

Shen Lang said with emotion.
"Defending bullies is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world, because you can't make mistakes, you absolutely can't make mistakes. But who doesn't make mistakes?"
After scoring the goal, Hu Lai happily hugged and celebrated with his teammates.
He doesn't seem to care about being a "Sevilla navigator", he only scored one goal in this game.
Of course, he only mentioned it when it was beneficial to him.
It would be nice to win the Voyager now, how could he care how many points in a game?

After Hulai scored, the Madrid Pirates shrank their defense.
Anyway, their 433 was originally used to strengthen the defense.
Joaquin Bella and Juan Ramirez blocked the midfield, and Vukovic also had some defensive ability.
Kamara and Tonini moved back, from winger to full-back, midfielder from three to five, and the formation also changed from 433 to 451.
The Madrid Pirates are not a good defensive team, but that doesn't mean they are bad defensively.
After completing the defensive adjustment tactically, the Madrid pirates faced the attack of the Sevilla navigators and resisted abruptly.
Hu Lai was substituted in the 112th minute.
Eight minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Madrid Pirates beat Sevilla Navigator 2:1 to win the European Super Cup!
"The game is over! Congrats to the Pirates! They won again! Although the process was difficult, the end result was good... That's enough! Pirates of Madrid, King of Europe!"
Shen Lang is very excited because another championship has been added to Hu Lai's list of honors, which will help him win the European Ballon d'Or and even the World Player of the Year award at the end of this year.
In order to win these two awards, it is natural that any honor must be firmly held in one's own hands in order to stop everyone's mouths. With the most undisputed gesture, he won the highest honor of the individual awards in world football.
Couldn't he see how hard the Pirates of Madrid played in this game?
Of course it did.
But the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer all depend on the result. As long as there are enough champions and enough influence, it will be difficult for others to compete with Hu Lai.
The European Ballon d'Or is about to be announced, and the World Player of the Year is still half a year away. In the second half of the year, in addition to this European Super Cup, Shen Lang hopes that Hu Lai can help the Madrid Pirates win the Club World Cup at the end of the year.
With all the championships that he can win this year, he doesn't believe in the selection of the world footballer at that time, and what other moths can come out.
Spanish commentator Sanchez is neutral~EbookFREE.me~ is more concerned about what is shown behind the game.
He commented objectively:
"Although the Sevilla Navigators lost the Super Cup, their performance in the game was remarkable. It can be said that they were defeated. In turn, the Madrid Pirates won the European Super Cup, but their performance was not It's not satisfactory. Facing the Navigators who could easily beat them before, they won this time very hard - this fact itself is enough to explain many problems. It can be seen that the league is about to start, and the team's tactical play The law has not yet been completely finalized. After Maxi Carey is gone, the pirates still need an adaptation period. But this adaptation period cannot be too long, otherwise, whether it is the King of Madrid or the Catalan United, they will all be watching from behind...
"If this game is not a cup match, but a league match, it means that Hu was defended by the Sevilla navigators and failed to score. I don't think it's good news for the Pirates. The coaches of other teams must be watching this game, maybe they can find a way and confidence to beat the Pirates."
When he said this, on the podium, the players of the Madrid Pirates jumped around with the trophy, and the gold medal hanging on their chest flew up and down, constantly reflecting the dazzling light.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
