Before the game, Madrid Pirates captain Joaquin Vela won the kick-off.

When Hu Lai stood in the center circle with a football under his feet, he looked up at Vesuvius' goal and found the opponent's goalkeeper Jakobs Persson standing on the goal line.

Someone asked on a well-known domestic pretentious website:

"Why has Hu Zi never scored a goal directly from the center circle since the 2030 World Cup?"

Why?

Open your eyes and see for yourself, this is the reason!

Now whenever the Pirates of Madrid or the Chinese team kick off, the opponent's goalkeeper's standard position is on the goal line.

This has become a fixed tactic.

Even though Hu Lai repeatedly emphasized in interviews that his ability to score in the center circle was all due to luck and was not replicable at all, let everyone rest assured.

But as the saying goes, "a liar is a liar."

The more he emphasized, the less everyone believed him.

So Hu Lai was helpless.

After both players were in position, the referee looked at his watch and blew the opening whistle.

"Game start!"

Hu Lai turned around and passed the football to the backcourt, and the football flew straight to center back Danny Drew.

At the same time, Vesuvius forward Merlin Ulrich chased the ball towards the Dutch centre-back.

Other Vesuvian players also swarmed over the center line.

Facing the menacing Ulrich, Drew passed the football diagonally to the left with a big foot.

It was given to Farias, who was standing close to the touchline.

Because it was too close to the sideline, Farias stopped the ball directly from the sideline under the interference of Vesuvius right back Roberto Accardi.

The Vesuvius fans in the stands let out a burst of gloating laughter.

In recent times, Farias has also been responsible for traffic in European football.

Fans of other European teams do not have as clear a stance as the Madrid Pirates fans regarding the tweet he gave fans to criticize the head coach. They don’t care who is right or wrong, they just want to watch the fun and not take it too seriously.

Mentality, both sides are booing.

Now that they see Farias making a mistake, of course they want to laugh at him. It would be better if they can make this kid lose his mind.

After gaining possession of the ball, Vesuvius attacked the Madrid Pirates goal.

However, their attack failed and they were quickly defended by Madrid Pirates.

When the ball was at the feet of centre-back Riva Moreno, only one Vesuvius player rushed forward.

As soon as the ball was passed to Toni by Moreno, two Vesuvian players immediately rushed towards Toni from different angles.

Under their pressure, Toni was unable to even control the ball and could only choose to pass it directly back to the goalkeeper.

Moreover, under the pressure of the opponent, the force of his return kick was quite strong.

Hywell did not dare to stop casually, for fear that the ball would not be stopped properly and the opponent's players would seize the opportunity - just as Toni passed the ball over, Vesuvius' forward Ulrich also caught up.

Hewel chose to pass the ball directly.

He did not pass the ball to the left wing where personnel were concentrated, but moved it to the right wing.

There is no one there, and right back Ettore Navarro can receive the ball relatively calmly.

But just after Navarro received the ball, Vesuvius' players had already reached him!

"Vesuvius' players pressed really hard!" He Feng exclaimed.

Upon seeing this, Navarro planned to pass the football to the center, but the Vesuvian players saw through it and stretched out his foot to block the ball and blocked it from the sideline.

Madrid Pirates win a throw-in.

Navarro came to throw, and Tonini stepped forward to respond.

Navarro threw the football to him, and immediately a Vesuvius player came up to press him.

Tonini followed the trajectory of the football and turned around to stop the ball. As soon as he turned around, he saw a Vesuvius player, forward Merlin Ulrich!

He hesitated a little and did not immediately pass the football back to Navarro, who was on the sideline to meet him.

Betra quickly stepped forward to press for him.

Tonini tried to take the football away, but the opponent took the first step and stabbed the football away!

The football was pushed towards the center!

There are no Madrid Pirates players there!

Vesuvian captain Victor Montero strode forward and intercepted the football!

Then he passed the football straight forward into the Madrid Pirates penalty area!

Vesuvius striker Ulrich, who just stole the football, has now entered the penalty area and received the ball!

Fortunately, Danny Drew arrived in time and interfered with his body, preventing Ulrich from maintaining his balance when catching the ball and making more adjustments.

When he started to shoot again, he had lost the space to shoot.

The football hit Drew's leg and bounced away.

Tonini made up for it, appearing at the top of the penalty arc, turning around and walking away with the football, and then passed it to Vukovich who was retreating in front.

Vukovich used a "fried meatball" to temporarily get rid of the pressure of the Vesuvius players, but he could not pass the football forward and could only pass the football to the side.

Pass to the retreating right winger Wesley Hodt.

Also in the process of passing the ball, Vesuvius' players rushed towards Hodet immediately.

Hodette was forced not to stop the ball and could only pass back to Navarro.

Vesuvian midfielder Hassan Insidi, who was originally chasing Vukovic, immediately dropped the Serbian midfielder and turned towards Navarro.

Navarro was forced to use his big feet to drive the football forward.

This kind of offense is of course not of high quality, and the ball can easily change hands.

"Vesuvius played very proactively at their home court! They used a high press to press the Madrid Pirates' ball-carrying players and pass-receiving points in the frontcourt... As an Italian team, Vesuvius has both Italian

Football attaches great importance to the tradition of defense, and it is also more passionate on offense..."

Hearing He Feng say this, Yan Kang next to him said with emotion: "So it makes sense that Vesuvius can lead the Turin Bulls and Insubre by so many points in the league this season!"

※※※

When Hassan Insidi dribbled the ball through the midfield, Tonini followed him and tried several times but failed to break the ball.

Inside tried a through ball and looked for the forward Ulrich in front.

Fortunately, Yin Weng Martinez retracted decisively when defending, blocked Yin Sidi's passing route, and kicked the ball back with his feet.

The football throws a parabola and flies back to the center circle.

Vesuvius' midfielder and captain Victor Montero once again appeared at the ball's landing point, first stopped the ball with his chest, and then passed the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot.

There was Vesuvian right back Roberto Accardi, who stepped in to connect.

When Acardi received the ball, there was no Pirates player around him because the Madrid Pirates defenders were deeper.

Left winger Farias is still in front and has not returned.

After receiving the ball, Arkadi calmly adjusted and observed, and then passed the football back to Ulrich who was pulling away to meet him.

Then he accelerated and moved forward from behind Ulrich, as if he was going to cooperate with Ulrich in the attack.

His movement attracted Madrid Pirates' left back Yin Weng Martinez, who did not dare to attack Ulrich who had the ball easily - he had to guard against Ulrich passing the ball forward after he went up.

of Arcardi.

Taking advantage of Accardi's opportunity to attract the attention of the Pirates' defense, Ulrich dribbled the ball diagonally towards the corner of the Madrid Pirates' penalty area.

After attracting Madrid Pirates center back Danny Drew to press forward, he suddenly passed the ball to the space behind Drew!

Vesuvius' Turkish international midfielder Hassan Insidi is cutting in!

At the same time, another forward Valerio Betra is holding down Pirates' center back Riva Moreno in the middle...

No one can rush over to defend Yin Sidi!

The latter inserts into the space, receives the ball, turns around and shoots!

The football flew straight to the far corner!

Faced with this shot that was so close, goalkeeper Hywell was still a little slow in getting down, and his hand failed to reach the football!

He could only watch the football fly from the back corner into the goal he was guarding!

Vesuvius’ home stadium, the Southern Stadium, burst into deafening cheers!
