Chapter 38 The King of Vesuvius(1/3)

 When the football flew into the goal, Wang Guangwei, who witnessed the whole process, could not hide the deep pain in his eyes.

Then he turned back to see Hu Lai.

After scoring the goal, he turned around and ran towards the corner flag area, about to make his signature celebration, but he was hugged by his teammate Hodt halfway, and then more Madrid Pirates players swarmed over.

The two of them gathered around and hugged each other to celebrate the goal.

For a moment, Wang Guangwei seemed to have returned to his high school days.

Hu Lai was also surrounded by his teammates after he scored a goal.

It was just that at that time, it was not easy for Hu Lai to score a goal in front of him. He kept distracting himself with chatting, and had to rely on the help of teammates to block him in order to win the chance to get rid of the shot.

.

But now, he doesn't need to bother so much. He can get rid of himself with just one click and kick to score.

Fifteen years have passed, and I have grown a lot, but Hu Laize can no longer be described as "growing". That kid is completely like a "rocket taking off"!

He barely managed to climb Mount Everest, but he was almost out of the solar system...

Wang Guangwei really hopes that he can go back to his high school days, so that at least he can have a slight upper hand when facing Hu Lai.

But he quickly shook his head gently:

What are you thinking about?

It’s not easy for us to stand in Europe and compete with each other. If we really go back to high school, wouldn’t all the hard work along the way be in vain?!

"Hu Lai scored twice to help the Madrid Pirates overtake the score! But it was Wang Guangwei's defense that he broke through! This scene is really complicated for Chinese fans, both happy and uncomfortable..."

He Feng himself saw Wang Guangwei put his hands on his hips and shook his head slightly, feeling equally happy and uncomfortable.

I am happy for Hu Lai, but sad for Wang Guangwei.

There have actually been quite a few "Chinese Derbys" in the European War, and this is not the first time he has commented on it. But in the past, "Chinese Derbys" were all contests between offensive players. It was rare to see defenders versus forwards like today.

A direct "contradictory confrontation".

The previous "Chinese Derby" was actually a contest between two teams with Chinese players.

But now it can be specific to people.

It's the contest between Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei.

The two of them may not directly determine the victory or defeat of the team, but it is actually the victory or defeat between them personally.

Hu Lai faced Wang Guangwei's defensive goal, which was Hu Lai's victory and Wang Guangwei's failure.

The losing side has absolutely no excuses.

Seeing the captain of the Chinese national team showing such a painful expression during the game, anyone who has feelings for Chinese football can't help but feel his own emotions and feel sad for Wang Guangwei.

Especially...if you know the relationship between Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai, the complicated emotions will be even stronger.

Of course there will always be people who react differently than most people.

Xia Wu, who stayed up late watching the game at home, pointed at the TV screen and said to his wife in a slightly showy tone: "Hey! Let me tell you, the last time our Kings team played against Hu Lai, I was

She was there! She was really there, not just a joke!"

The wife nodded repeatedly and said in a perfunctory tone: "Yes, yes, you are here. You have told me this countless times..."

Xia Wu said proudly: "This kind of thing can be boasted about for a lifetime, of course it must be boasted about for a lifetime!"

Hu Lai scored twice in the 46th minute of the game, which actually entered stoppage time.

However, after the current injury time rules have been revised, injury time as long as five or six minutes has become commonplace.

After he scored, the game lasted another five minutes before the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

In these five minutes, the Madrid Pirates did not pursue the victory again, but gave up on the good news.

They no longer continued to besiege Vesuvius' defensive third zone as before, but instead slowed down their pace and actively contracted their formation.

Facing the Madrid Pirates who were shrinking their defense, Vesuvius mustered up his fighting spirit and counterattacked, but it was just a show.

Because Vesuvius' attack did not threaten the Madrid Pirates' goal at all, they seemed to be worried about being attacked by the Madrid Pirates on counterattack and could not completely let go.

So the last few minutes of the first half of the game ended calmly.

"Listen to me! Listen to me!"

As soon as Vesuvius' head coach Renzetti returned to his dressing room, he raised his hands and repeated these words loudly, attracting the attention of all the players to himself.

After making sure everyone was looking at him, Renzetti said:

"Listen to me! Listen to me! I know that going from a two-goal lead to one goal behind is a very unacceptable result. But I must remind you that this is only the first half of the game! We still have enough

Forty-five minutes are used to do something to change this result. At the same time...there is no away goal advantage in current Champions League games! So no matter how many goals they score here, they are only one goal ahead of us!"

From leading by two goals to being chased by the opponent for three goals in a row, Renzetti felt the morale of his players drop.

He must do everything possible to save the team's morale, otherwise the collapse will happen in an instant.

One thing he said is right. Fortunately, the away goal advantage has been eliminated in the current Champions League. Otherwise, even if there is still half a game, he will not be able to restore the fighting spirit of his players and fight to the death against the Madrid Pirates.

When UEFA announced that it would abolish the away goal advantage rule in European competitions, Renzetti expressed his dissatisfaction on social media.

Now he has to sincerely thank the implementation of this rule...

Renzetti set his sights on Wang Guangwei. After boosting the morale of the team, he had to make some specific arrangements.

"Wang, if they don't put so much pressure on our defense in the second half, then you can press forward and participate in the attack depending on the situation."

Wang Guangwei nodded.

As a central defender, he has certain offensive abilities. This was a clear request made by Jorge Dillon to Wang Guangwei when he was coaching the Chinese team. But in fact, before that, Wang Guangwei had already penetrated forward to participate in the attack.

records - for example, when the Chinese team reached the World Cup finals for the first time, it was Wang Guangwei who provided Hu Lai with a key assist. He was a central defender at the time, but he rushed to Paraguay's goal.

In Eldrea and Vesuvius, he also demonstrated his forward penetration ability many times.

Head coach Renzetti also knows very well that in some cases, if he wants to break the deadlock in the offense, then Wang Guangwei is a candidate that can be considered.

As a central defender, Wang Guangwei moves forward to attack, so Vesuvius' defense must also adjust accordingly.

So Renzetti looked at Wang Guangwei's center back partner Giuseppe Giordano: "Giuseppe, you were a little too excited in the first half. Control your emotions a little. As a defensive player, you need to be calm.

Be calm rather than impulsive and excited.”

He pressed down with both hands.

"When the king comes to attack, you are the only central defender. Don't be rash at this time!"

"I know..." Giordano responded with his head drooped, somewhat depressed.

Wang Guangwei smiled at him.

Originally, he planned to remind Giordano not to get too excited during the halftime break.

It saves me a lot of trouble now.

"I'll leave it to you, Giuseppe."

Wang Guangwei smiled and said to Giordano.

He knows the temper of his partner. When you express that you need him, he will be particularly motivated and perform better.

Sure enough, when Wang Guangwei handed his back to him, Giordano puffed up his chest and patted it hard:

"Don't worry, Wang. I will be your solid backing!"

In the visiting team's locker room next door, Madrid Pirates coach Parotti was praising his players' performance.

He praised every player by name.

Even Farias was praised by name, although his performance in the first half, apart from the goal, was not very outstanding. There were still many mistakes and goals conceded.

But Parotti still gave him a thumbs up, praised his performance, and allowed him to continue to try to control the ball more in the second half.

Parotti's praise was definitely not a perfunctory one, but really pointed out their outstanding performance in the game. It made people feel that the head coach really took his performance into heart.

.

Such praise will make the person being praised feel valued and respected.

Thus recognizing Parotti from the bottom of my heart.

This is Parotti's "personality charm".

It is definitely not the so-called Parotti who is "easy to talk" and "indulgent to the players" as promoted by some media...that makes the players like him as a "good old man" head coach.

After praising the players' performance, Parotti reminded his players:

"... Vesuvius, who are lagging behind, will definitely step up their offensive in the second half. We need to be more patient and calm. Even if they score a goal, don't panic. Because if they just equalize the score, it will be useless. They must be in
