Chapter 99: 1 hammer

"Leeds City, which equalized the score, continues to attack. Obviously Coach Tony Clark is not willing to score a point at home like this..."
Li Qingqing sat cross-legged on the sofa in the apartment holding the fluffy doll.
There are only twelve teams in the Ligue 1 women's football team, and there are only 22 rounds in the league. At this time, the new season of the Ligue 1 women's football league has not yet started.
So even on weekends, she stayed in the apartment she rented and didn't go anywhere. She had enough free time to watch Hu Lai's game through TV broadcast.
When Hu Lai scored the first goal, she jumped up from her seat for the first time, and the doll in her arms was thrown into the sky by her, almost hitting the ceiling fan with lights on the ceiling.
Now ten minutes have passed since Hu Lai's goal, and she is also quietly sitting on the sofa and watching the live broadcast.
Even if the French TV commentator didn't say it, she could see that the head coach of Leeds was unwilling to score a point at home.
So now the team is being asked to fully attack, but there is also a huge risk.
The French TV commentator is evaluating the pros and cons of the Leeds City coach’s approach:
"...If Leeds can't score goals anymore, the situation will be very dangerous for them... This kind of offensive is impossible to last forever. Don't look at Tramed's situation a bit passive now, but in fact they A counterattack is brewing. As long as Leeds’ offensive momentum is weakened, they will make the most violent counterattack... I think Coach Clark should consider slowing down and taking the initiative to reclaim the defense. This is better than a sudden attack after being intercepted by the opponent. Cause the team to fall into a passive..."
Li Qingqing admitted that what the French narrator said was correct, and that Leeds did indeed have great hidden dangers.
But she can also understand the head coach.
Because this is the home court of Leeds City, they are weaker than their opponents. If they don't take advantage of the momentum of just equalizing the score, what else can they do to beat Tramed?
Although it can be said that it can be tied with a powerful team such as Tramed, it should be a very cost-effective result for Leeds.
But there will always be people who are unwilling to accept this result.
That Leeds City coach should be such a person.
Since Hu Lai joined Leeds, as long as there is no conflict in time, Li Qingqing has watched almost every game.
After watching so many Leeds City games, Li Qingqing is already familiar with the characteristics of this team.
I know that the head coach of this team is the kind of person who is very gambler. Whenever there is a chance, he just wants to win in his mind and doesn't want anything else.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, this is a bit stupid. After all, when you don't have the strength to match it, but you still have to win something that doesn't belong to you, it's ugly to say "I don't know what's good or bad."
Li Qingqing understands Clark very well because she also hopes Leeds will win.
After Hu Lai joined the team, he couldn't be relegated every year, right?
What's the point of staying with such a relegated team every year?
She hopes that the team will perform better, so that Hu Lai can be recognized by more people.
At least you must be able to participate in the European war!
So now, even if the French TV commentator is very good at analyzing it, Li Qingqing doesn't want to listen.
It makes sense, but if everything in this world ends up with a logical and reasonable result... how boring it would be!
Li Qingqing on the sofa frowned slightly, focusing on the figure on the screen.
I know, you are the one who disagrees with the truth... right, Hu Lai?

"Is it time to slow down?" Assistant coach Sam Randyl raised his wrist and glanced at the time displayed on the dial. "It's been seventy minutes, our stamina..."
"Our stamina can hold on for a while." Clark looked at the court and interrupted him. "Wait a second. We spent so much time in pre-season training to torture them so that they can withstand this time. . We are uncomfortable now, but believe me, Sam, Tramed’s people are equally uncomfortable.

Generally speaking, a football game has entered a bottleneck period for players on the field from 70 to 75 minutes. Most teams will encounter physical problems at this stage and their performance will decline. In order to avoid problems, teams will actively choose to slow down.
But Clark didn't do it because of a very simple truth-when everyone can't stand it, if his team can survive this time, will it be able to gain an advantage that others don't?
This is why Clark attaches so much importance to physical fitness.
The physical requirements of modern football have been much higher than before, and he has to be higher on this basis.
He just hopes to use his team's abundant physical strength to bring down the opponent. When the opponent is exhausted, he will give the opponent a fatal blow at this time!
This set of ideas is good, but if it can be realized, Clark can't be the master.
He can still control the previous physical training, but football matches are not better than long-distance running. Whoever has the best physical strength will definitely win.
After all, there will be a fatal blow in the end.
This problem was difficult for Clark to solve before. But when he introduced Hu Lai, he found a solution.
Who is best at delivering a fatal blow?
Of course it is Hu Lai!
With Hu Lai, an efficient killer, the last piece of Clark's tactical puzzle has returned, and he can try his own ideas.
For the current Leeds City, Tramed is a good opponent, strong enough, but not as strong as the defending champion Stan Park Rangers and runners-up Manchester Athletic. At the same time, Leeds City is still playing at home in this game, and has the advantage of a favorable geographical location and people.
Use such an opponent to test your own ideas, you can ensure that there is enough difficulty, and really have a test effect. It is not because it is too difficult to make the experiment unsuccessful, and finally the confidence of himself and the team is undermined for no reason.
From the perspective of the running of the players on both sides, the Leeds City players have already surpassed Tramed in terms of physical strength. His idea of ​​gaining the advantage of key time points on the court through physical advantage is feasible.
The next step is to see if Hu Lai, who has high hopes of him, can make a final decision!
He cast his eyes on the figure on the court.
※※※
The figure being watched by everyone just nearly finished a shot, if Tramed’s captain Connor Kirk hadn’t recovered to the penalty area in time to get the football out of the siege before Hulay...
Tramed's goal is really dangerous!
Therefore, a huge exhalation sounded from the stands of the Flanders Stadium, which is regretted by the Leeds City fans collectively.
In fact, the problems seen by the French TV station commentators can also be seen by ordinary fans. Everyone knows that Leeds’s offensive cannot be sustained forever. What if you can't maintain it and let your opponent come back?
Everyone is worried, and naturally hope that their team can score another goal.
Their idea is also very simple: as long as we score one more goal, we can lead. Then shrink back to defend and hold the victory.
Even if you are unlucky and the opponent scores, you can still get a tie. In the end, the score won't become zero in the final basket.
The football that was cleared by Kirk eventually fell outside the right sideline and Leeds City got a foul ball.
When everyone was preparing for this out-of-bounds ball, Hulay found Camara and said to him: "When you are on the wing for a while, pass behind the penalty area and try to pass as large as possible, Ismail."
"Later? Okay." Camara nodded, without asking in detail why this is the case.
Why are there so many?
Anyway, Hulai needs him to pass the ball, he just passes it.
The out-of-bounds ball was thrown by Leeds City's right back Toby Isherwood and went directly to Camara.
Because of the previous assist, even if Camara switched to the right, he was also marked by Tramed players.
Baria stood in front of him at this time, lowered his center of gravity, and put on a posture of guarding strictly.
After being snatched by the opponent in front of his own face, and then assisted with a goal, Baria is now particularly concerned about this No. 22, and will never let him go because of carelessness.
Camara took the ball to face Baria, instead of stepping on a bicycle and doing some flower work.
Instead, use the outer instep of your right foot to push the football to the bottom line!
His start was very sudden, even Baria was a little bit astonished for half a second before he reacted and quickly followed.
This place is relatively close to the bottom line, and the sprint space is very small. He believes that he will have the opportunity to block this kid here.
But at this moment, he saw Leeds City's No. 22 hit the ball directly!
At first he thought it was a fake move to disrupt his own rhythm, but he didn't think that the opponent would pass in such a simple and rude pass.
He hurriedly stretched his feet to block, only had time to rub his toes against the football!
Baria turned his head and watched the football leaping high and flying towards the goal. I wonder if this kick is considered a defensive success...
"Camara made a direct pass! The ball seemed to be blocked by Baria, and there was a slight change in line..."
Because Camara had a lot of power when passing the ball, even if it was blocked by Baria, the football still rushed to the back.
But after I let Barria block it, the trajectory of the football changed. It failed to turn back. Instead, it flew straight to the bottom line behind the goal. It seemed that it was going to fly directly out of bounds...
A smile appeared on Baria's face-I finally managed to destroy Leeds City's attack!
※※※
Hulai, who had been lying in ambush at the back point, saw Camara passing, so he speeded up and rushed to the back point, ready to grab the point.
At the same time, Tramed’s centre-back Joséva Iglesias followed.
In the process, he looked back at the football and found that something was wrong.
This ball seems... is going out of bounds?
He observed it again and found that football was indeed rushing out of bounds!
Seeing this, he slowed down and heaved a sigh of relief.
But the breath was only halfway through, and he saw a foot suddenly appeared in the air, with its toes facing upwards, stretching towards the flying football!
"It's Hu Lai!!" He Feng's voice and spirit were lifted.
Everyone thought that Leeds City had not succeeded in this attack, but they didn't expect Hu Lai to give up!
Seeing the football fly to the bottom line, he did not slow down like Iglesias beside him, but struggled to lift his left foot, trying to save the ball that was about to fly out of the bottom line!
Everyone turned their eyes to the figure near the bottom line, and saw that his right foot was supporting his body and his left foot was lifted up. In order to increase the height, he also struggled to stand up on the toes of his right foot, and opened his arms to maintain balance...
I don't know why, this clearly reluctant action, at this moment, in the eyes of many people, there is a stretch of sports beauty.
The eyes of everyone are in full view, as if the flow of time has slowed down many times!
Li Qingqing in front of the TV didn't know when she had sat up straight, and the doll she was holding also fell to the floor.
Seeing this scene reminded her of the distant high school era, that game that determined whether Hu Lai could enter the school team trial.
How similar is his third goal to this one?
It is also struggling to reach for the ball in the air.
But at that time, Hu Lai couldn't stop the ball at all. In the end, he hooked the football back and hit it the face, knocking out the nosebleeds.
And now...
※※※
No way, this kid can really...
Iglesias stared wide-eyed and watched the foot of Hulai, who was close at hand, approaching the football little by little, or the football and his feet were moving closer to each other.
Then he was really stopped by the back of his left foot!
"Hu Lai! When the ball was about to fly out of the baseline, he successfully saved the football back!"
Iglesias then started again and pounced, trying to destroy the ball.
The football was blocked by Hu Lai's right foot and flew back, just flying over his head and falling to the edge of the small penalty area behind him.
Connor Kirk rushed forward, intending to clear the football again.
Charlie Potter, who was by Kirk's side, looked around, only to realize that he was unmarked!
So he shouted: "Hu!!!"
At the same time, he opened his arms to signal Hu Lai to pass the ball to himself.
Pete Williams is also yelling: "Be careful!"
He was reminding Hu Lai to pay attention to Kirk who rushed past.
But Hu Lai seemed to have not heard these sounds at all, or that he could not care about them.
He grabbed Iglesias's body with one hand, stopped the inertia of the body's forward thrust, and at the same time completed his turn, ready to jump back towards the football.
Iglesias also grabbed his arm with his hand, which was the only thing he could do.
The two people are entangled in this way.
There were fans in the stands who could not wait to boo, they thought Tramed's central defender fouled.
Last season at Tramed’s home court, the referee called us a penalty kick, now the referee, dare you to return us a penalty kick? !
The referee did raise the whistle and put it to his mouth, his eyes widened, as if he was ready to blow it at any time.
On the other side, Kirk finally arrived. He lifted his right foot and kicked the football!
Almost at the same time, Hu Lai grabbed Iglesias with both hands, and after using him to stabilize his body and center of gravity, he also lifted his right leg!
The two legs are drawn to the football from the left and the right from different directions!
Bang!
Hu Lai felt his instep touched the football because his leg was pushed back by an obvious reaction force.
On the other side, Kirk emptied himself!
What about football?
Everyone is looking for it. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Finally, they saw Tramed's goalkeeper Walker kneeling on one knee in the near corner of the goal, still keeping his hands on the ball.
But the football is not in his hands or in his arms.
But...
In the goal next to it!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
After a brief silence, the Flanders Stadium was followed by a violent sonic explosion, and the sound blasted everything into the sky!
Even the stadium roof seems to be able to be overturned!
The fans above the stands jumped from their seats and surged down, layering on top of each other. Across the LED billboard, and the police security, they stretched their arms towards the court, seeming to want to get closer to the goalkeeper Hu Lai...
Hu Lai is running towards them!
