[READ ONLINE] Ebook Fox in the Penalty Area, Chapter 36: Reborn Catalan United online free

The Pirates Park stadium was full of people, and the live scores were displayed on the big screen in the stands:

1:1

The game has entered the second half, and the score is still 1:1.

The score was the same in the first half, and the score has not changed since the second half.

The scene that the Madrid Pirates fans hoped for their team to press the Catalan United did not appear.

The revenge scene that Catalan fans hoped... No, Catalan fans dare not think so. They were even afraid that a Catalan United player would make rhetoric about revenge before the game, and then stimulated the nonsense... Fortunately, what they were worried about did not really happen.

For example, before the game, the Spanish media ran to ask the newly joined goalkeeper Tone Schulman, and asked him what he thought about Hu Lai scoring in 35 consecutive league games across the season.

It's nothing more than trying to lure Shulman into releasing some rhetoric, such as "I know, but his record will end with me."

But Shulman was very cautious. He just praised the brave performance, but never mentioned how he would deal with it.

The cautious answer also reflected the mentality of the Catalan United team. After being cleaned up, they now understand. Without waiting for the end of the game, you must not lose the character first.

In the first half, the two sides were deadlocked, and the score of 1:1 was a good example of the balance of power between the two teams.

"The Catalan United in the new season has indeed undergone a reborn change..." commentator He Feng said.

Yan Kang agreed next to him:

"Just four months ago, at the same stadium, the Pirates defeated the Catalan United 5:3. Although the score seemed to be only two goals away, the Pirates had an absolute advantage on the scene... And now, Pirates don't get anything cheap in their home court..."

"The head coach Raleigh does have two brushes... Kabonka is closer to the goal than before, and he is more threatening. That ball in the first half is the best proof..."

The goal for the Catalan United side in the first half was scored by Kabonka.

He first dribbled the ball in the middle of the midfield, attracted all the defenders of the Madrid Pirates to the middle, and then distributed the football to the flanks.

When the Madrid Pirates' defensive focus shifted to the wing, he quietly ran into the penalty area.

When the football was passed from the wing to the middle, he just ran into the void and shot a half-volley, which caught the Madrid Pirates by surprise.

The football bounced off the ground in front of Heywell. No matter how brave "Dad Hai" was, he could do nothing but watch the football into the net.

With Kabonca's goal, Catalonia equalized the score away.

Kabangka has scored a goal, but Hu Lai has not yet "drawn a draw" in this game.

In fact, he had a good chance in the first half, when he grabbed the spot in front of the goal and headed the goal.

But the football was unexpectedly thrown out by the Catalan goalkeeper Tone Schulman - when Hu Lai rushed to the football, he was still in the front of the middle, Hu Lai threw the football back, but he was The ground kicked the ground and threw back, and then fished out the football in front of the back post.

At that time, the commentators were exclaiming "unbelievable".

If Hu Lai scored the goal, the Madrid Pirates would lead by two goals.

Even if Kabonca scored a goal later, it only narrowed the gap from two goals to one goal.

It can be said that Schulman's save indirectly helped Catalonia equalize the score.

The person standing in front of the Catalan United goal this season has changed from Carlos Cordero to Tone Schulman.

The Netherlands goalkeeper followed the new head coach Riley Vicente to the Catalan United with a clear purpose, to replace Cordero.

Although the latter is a player trained by Catalonia's own youth training system, after experiencing many "accidents" last season, the club has also lost patience with him.

In addition, he himself did not show the ability to compete with Shulman in the preseason.

was sent away at the end of August.

There was no transfer, but a loan.

The Catalan United leased him to the Premier League's Wiggerston. Although Wijston is not a giant team, it can neither play the Champions League nor the Europa League.

However, Wiggerston promised to make Cordero the main force.

So Cordero went.

The lease is for one year, and after one year, Wiggerston has a first buyout clause.

For Cordero, this also means that he is completely away from the giants.

In fact, it's not that his goalkeeping skills are not good, it's mainly that his major flaws in psychological quality were exposed when he played against Hu Lai. This made other giant teams dare not use him.

In important games and critical moments, what should I do if I can't stand the pressure and make mistakes?

Not to mention that the pressure on the giant teams itself is great.

Therefore, a non-big team like Wijeston is more suitable for him, at least it can help him find his game state and confidence now.

Schulman's "fight" in the first half proved his worth and ability, and the transfer fee of 78 million euros did not seem so expensive-after the announcement of the transfer deal, everyone was in a hurry. Laugh at the Catalan United for making a big deal and spend close to 80 million euros to buy a goalkeeper in the Eredivisie.

But so far this season, Schulman has yet to concede a goal in a campaign - the one against the Pirates of Madrid in the first half was his first goal of the season, and it was a free kick.
Tonini took advantage of a direct free-kick and put the ball into the goal to give the Pirates of Madrid the lead.

It was only fourteen minutes into the game.

Everyone thought the Madrid Pirates had a great start.

In the end, he was still struggling in the quagmire.

In the second half, after the two sides changed sides and fought again, the situation did not improve. The two sides were in a stalemate in the front, mid and back.

※※※

Hu Lai still looked around on the pitch, and then slowly approached the goal of the Catalan United.

Catalan central defender Paul Fortune is always by his side, preventing him from getting the ball easily.

He had done this before this game, and Hu Lai was also successfully defended by him, except for the header in front of the goal.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Shulman performed well and did not let him make a big mistake.

Facts have proved that defending Hu Lai does not mean that you can't make any mistakes.

It's just that when you make a mistake, you have to have reliable teammates to be able to figure it out.

Needless to say, Shulman is indeed more reliable than Cordero.

Although football is not on Hu Lai's side, the Netherlands goalkeeper will turn his attention to him from time to time to observe his movements.

This is Schulman's first confrontation with Hu Lai, but he is no stranger to Hu Lai.

Hu Lai's crazy performance last season has spread all over the world. Even in the Eredivisie, he felt the impact of Hu Lai's crazy performance.

Even in the elite Rotterdam team, every time Hu Lai accomplished something amazing or broke a record, everyone would talk about him in private.

Twenty-three goals in the Champions League, 95 goals in a single season, the unstoppable league record of consecutive goals...

He smashed every opponent's goal last season and no team was spared.

His efficiency has become almost every goalkeeper's nightmare.

But as a goalkeeper, Schulman has always been looking forward to competing with opponents like Hu Lai.

He wants to experience for himself what it's like to face a super scorer who can score 95 goals in a single season.

For the save in the first half, although he was calm amid the frantic hugs and slaps by his teammates, his heartbeat was actually very fast and his adrenaline was soaring.

He felt the thrill of walking on the edge of life and death.

Both fear and desire.

Afraid of Hu Lai's every shot, and eager to save every shot of his.

Shulman was constantly observing Hu Lai's movement when he saw the football being passed to Hu Lai. Shulman's whole body seemed to be compressed to the end, ready to eject at any time.

He quickly shifted his position, opened his arms, and prepared to make a save.

Immediately afterward, he saw Hu Lai shoot the ball under the interference of Fortune!

Although there was a personal interference from Fortune, he still hit the door frame with his kick!

At least Schulman thinks so - he didn't dare to bet that Hu Lai's ball didn't hit the door frame, so when he saw Hu Lai's shot, he immediately jumped in the direction of the football!

Then he hit the football with one palm!

"Shulman! He made a wonderful save! He blocked Hu's shot again! Of course, under the interference of Fortune, Hu shot a little bit right..."

"Sure enough, after the crazy goals last season, Hu Lai was thoroughly researched and targeted by his opponents in the new season. The difficulty of scoring has skyrocketed..."

"At the same time, after Kyrie left, the opponent's back line can put almost all of their energy on Hu Lai, which also increases the difficulty of Hu Lai's goal. Parrotti has fine-tuned the team's tactics, and Kamara and Tonini are no longer Like last season, he pulls to the side, but shrinks to the middle and strengthens the connection with Hu Lai... In this way, the offensive firepower of the Madrid Pirates can be guaranteed, but Hu Lai's goals will inevitably decline, because many times he has to Acting as a bait, creating chances for his teammates. In this way, his teammates have scored goals~EbookFREE.me~ His scoring opportunities have been reduced a lot..."

※※※

Shulman got up from the ground and looked at Hu Lai.

Hu Lai put his head in his hands and regretted that his shot was saved.

This made Schulman feel a little more fulfilled.

However, he is not arrogant and thinks that he can definitely end Hu Lai's record of scoring goals in 36 consecutive rounds in this game.

Before the final whistle of the game blew, he did not dare to slack off.

But if he can always block out the wild shots like this, maybe he will also reduce the number of shots and create opportunities for other Madrid Pirates players...

"The Female President's Almighty King"

Also had to guard against the other Madrid Pirates.

His task is to defend the goal of the Catalan United, not just to prevent Hu Lai from scoring.

Soon he saved another shot from the Madrid Pirates. This time it was not Hu Lai, but Vukovic.

His long-range shot from outside the penalty area is not very strong, and the angle is slightly positive. Shulman flies up and directly hugs him with both hands.

"Schulman! Beautiful! Steady play! Every save he makes is proving to the Catalan fans that the 78 million spent on him is worth it!"
