Chapter 179: unpretentious 1 foot

"The Madrid Pirates must have underestimated the enemy. They have not been able to enter the game state for a long time in this game. When they finally find the rhythm of the game, there is not much time left for them!"
Deafening singing resounded through the screeching field, and England commentator Matthew Cox, who was on the field, had to raise the volume as much as possible to get his voice over the crowd.
"Including injury time, there are 14 minutes left in the game, and the Madrid Pirates are still 0:2 behind! The aggregate score is 2:2, Manchester Athletic is trying to kill them!"
"withstand!"
Juan Ramirez jumped up to compete with Manchester Athletic striker Jorge Cáceres, who managed to grab the spot and put the ball out.
After landing, he slapped hard and shouted to his players.
"Stand up! There is space behind them! As long as we can withstand their attack, we can fight their counterattack!"
Soon Manchester Athletic's offense made a comeback. This time, Argentine winger Ramon Cantero took the ball from the flank to break through Irasusta's defense.
Fortunately, the goalkeeper Haiwell responded very quickly. He had planned to pounce in the middle, but when he saw the football shot to the near corner again, he stretched his legs almost as a conditioned reflex, and used his toes to block the football from the bottom line!
"Wow! What a risk!" He Feng exclaimed first, and then let out a long breath.
"Manchester Athletic has fully gained momentum, and the Madrid Pirates can only be beaten passively! This Manchester Athletic team is completely different from the Manchester Athletic team at Pirates Park two weeks ago! Manchester Athletic players are very proactive and confident today. , From the beginning of the game, the rhythm of the game is firmly in his own hands... This is why after the reform of the Champions League, so far, no team has been able to successfully defend the title. Look at this game, it is indeed too difficult to defend the title It's gone!"
※※※
Hearing He Feng's words, Xie Lan hummed unhappily: "Isn't this the pirates who underestimate the enemy? What does it have to do with the difficulty of defending the title!"
Hu Lixin said: "The more the defending champions are, the easier it is for this to happen. After all, they are already defending champions, which means that they were the best team in the Champions League in the past season, and they have played well this season. , so it is inevitable to underestimate the enemy..."
"I think 'pride and underestimate the enemy' is a commonplace. Even a pseudo-fan like me knows not to underestimate the enemy, so why do they still underestimate the enemy?" Xie Lan asked, pointing to the TV screen.
"Players are human too. Humans make mistakes. Some things are known to be wrong, but they still make mistakes. There's nothing you can do about it. Think about it, after a season of high-intensity playing, players are under pressure both physically and psychologically. They are all very big. In addition, the Catalan United have been biting hard in the league, and they just want to relax. They played so well in the first round. No matter how the coach emphasizes, the players will definitely feel slack, it’s just a difference. ."
Hu Lixin explained patiently.
"Listening to your analysis, it's natural for pirates to be reversed and eliminated?"
"Of course not." Hu Lixin quickly waved his hand and changed the subject: "In fact, the most important thing now is not to get injured. The World Cup is coming soon. If you are injured at this time, even if it is a minor injury, even if you can recover before the World Cup, you will miss it. Co-training will affect the state..."
Hearing her husband say this, Xie Lan also frowned, showing a thoughtful look.
It was really sensitive before the World Cup.
Among the top 32 teams participating in the competition, international players have been absent from this World Cup due to injury.
One of the biggest names is Soren Griebusch, the midfield core of the German national team. He was seriously injured in the league after being eliminated from the Champions League. He originally planned to receive conservative treatment to catch up with the World Cup. But the effect was very bad, and in the end he had no choice but to choose surgery, which also determined that he would miss this World Cup completely. His injury casts a dark shadow over Germany's prospects of competing for the World Cup.
In addition, the captain of London Bridge, 34-year-old England central defender George Birx was injured in the Champions League quarter-finals and Ruhrlein. He crashed into Edman while defending, but instead sprained his ankle, causing the ankle ligament to rupture, and bid farewell to the World Cup completely.
In fact, this happens before every World Cup.
Usually fine, as soon as the World Cup is coming, I suddenly get injured. It's like some kind of magic.
Take Maxi Carey, the biggest player out of the last World Cup due to injury.
Thinking about it this way, Xie Lan also thinks that it is not the most important thing to defend the Champions League. When the World Cup is still two months away, don't get injured and keep a healthy body is the most important thing.
This season's Champions League is gone, and we can continue to work hard next season.
But if this year's World Cup is gone, it will have to wait another four years!
Xie Lan's originally irritable mood calmed down, and then watching the fierce competition on the field, the focus of attention has shifted from the outcome of the game to her son's health.
Hu Lai collided with Manchester Athletic centre-back Sam Hobson and fell to the ground when Hu Lai grabbed the landing spot, which caused Sheran's body on the sofa to involuntarily twitch.

In the final ten minutes of the game, Parrotti played his last card to prepare for overtime.
He replaced the outstretched Irasusta with right-back Radu Gregory, a match-up substitution, mainly to avoid defending himself on the right in the 30-minute overtime. Destroyed by Manchester Athletic.
After the change, Parrotti stood on the sidelines watching the ball quietly.
Don't look at the fact that the opponent is attacking very fiercely, but he is not very panic.
Because the total score was 2:2, and it was just another 30 minutes of overtime, his team had not really been pushed to the edge of the cliff.
However, the imposing Manchester Athletic has hidden dangers - if their indiscriminate bombardment can be resisted by the Madrid Pirates, then when the game enters overtime, it will definitely affect the morale of Manchester Athletic players...
So the key is to stay calm.
The hustle and bustle in the stands can almost lift the ceiling of the shuttle stadium. The Italian coach stood in front of the coach's bench, but his face was calm, even a little... sluggish.
Manchester Athletic coach Hiero Gutierrez, who was in front of the home team's coach next to him, looked very excited and kept walking around the sidelines, yelling at the field from time to time and waving his arms vigorously.
The two head coaches stood still and moved, forming a stark contrast.
In the command of Gutierrez and the cheers of the home team fans.
Manchester Athletic's attack is also like the tide at high tide, wave after wave, constantly impacting the defense line of the Madrid Pirates.
At the height of their attack, goalkeeper Ze Correa was almost in the middle of the ring...
It looked like Manchester Athletic really wanted to settle the fight in 90 minutes.
In the 84th minute, Manchester Athletic attacked again.
Ramon Cantero crosses in from the flank, looking for striker Jorge Cáceres in the middle.
But the football was jacked out by Danny Drew.
The football flies out of the penalty area.
Juan Ramirez ran for the football, jumped up and fought for the top.
He threw the ball to Vukovic ahead of Manchester Athletic midfielder Joao Dias.
After catching the ball, the Serbian international directly sent a long diagonal pass with the outer instep of his right foot!
The football drew a clear line in the air, spanning more than 30 meters of court space, and flew to Kamara who was running!
The cheers in the stands of the Shuttle Stadium instantly switched to exclamations and boos!
Kamara, who caught up with the football, did not stop the ball, he directly slashed the football diagonally towards the penalty area!
Just like that, the Manchester Athletic centre-back William Nelson, who was smashed by the fly shovel, was simply shaken away.
The boos were so loud that no other sound could be heard at all!
Matthew Cox exclaimed: "Kamara! Nelson missed defense! How can he tackle?!"
The rest of things became extraordinarily simple for Kamara, who entered the restricted area:
Goalkeeper Ze Correa moved to the front as a result of his successful breakthrough, while centre-back Sam Hobson came in to cover.
The middle lane is completely empty!
So he passed an inverted triangle!
Pass behind Hobson, the huge gap near the penalty spot!
"HUUUUUUU—!"
Hu Lai slapped the horse, turned his ankles over, and pushed forward against the rolling football!
With a very unpretentious kick, the football flew into the goal!
Manchester Athletic's Portuguese goalkeeper Ze Correa had tried his best to turn over and throw back, but he was still too far behind to touch the ball and could only watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding!
"Oh oh oh oh oh! Hu Lai! Hu Lai! Goal in the 84th minute! In this game, the Pirates of Madrid are behind Manchester Athletic after 1:2, but the aggregate score is 3:2 ahead!"

"HUUUUUUU—GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!"
After the narrator Sanchez shouted these words, Sylvia heard Meli's sigh coming from her side.
She turned her head and saw that Merry was reclining on the back of the sofa.
There was no frowning expression on his face, but he looked at the screen calmly.
She asked cautiously, "A little disappointed?"
Merry looked at her, then twitched the corners of his mouth: "How come?"
"He scored, he could go to the semi-finals..."
"After the game with Catalonia, Kabangka found me." Merry said something that had nothing to do with the current situation.
Sylvia knew this too.
At that time, the two people covered their mouths and communicated, and the media reporter wanted to know what the two of them were talking about.
Because as the "enemy" who is notoriously difficult to deal with, there is very little communication between the two of them.
But in the post-match interview, neither Meli nor Kabonka~EbookFREE.me~ answered this question.
Seeing that Meli didn't want to talk, Sylvia naturally never asked.
Unexpectedly, Merry took the initiative to talk about this topic now.
So she looked at Merry, waiting for him to continue.
Merry really continued to say:
"He taught me to accept failure and to accept the fact that I am inferior to Hu. I thought he was mocking me at the time."
"This…"
Considering the relationship between the two of them, Sylvia felt that it was normal for Meli to think so.
But I didn't expect Merry to say next:
"Now I think he's right."
