Even though he was a bit hasty, his kick was still of high quality.

The football bounced off the ground in front of the goal, bypassing the hands of Vesuvius goalkeeper Jakobs Persson who was diving from the side, and then hit the outside of the goal post and missed the goal!

"Pillar! Ahhh!" He Feng shouted regretfully to the sky, "It's such a pity that the goal didn't go in! This is the best chance for the Madrid Pirates since the start of this game! What a pity!"

Hu Lai felt the same way himself. When he saw the football hit the goalpost and then missed the baseline, he raised his hands and held his head, grinning in pain.

Looking at Hu Lai's expression and movements, Spanish commentator Sanchez said: "What a pity! Hu Lai's shot was very sudden. It is very rare to be able to shoot such quality in such a hasty situation. If more preparations were made for him,

At that time, maybe the ball can hit the inside of the goalpost and bounce into the net?"

Wang Guangwei retracted his gaze towards the bottom line, then pointed at Hu Lai and shouted to Giuseppe Giordano, his center back partner who had just been guarding him: "Slow down, slow down! Go up faster!"

In fact, Giordano went up quickly enough, otherwise Hu Lai wouldn't have been able to get up in a hurry.

But in Wang Guangwei's view, this is not enough.

Giordano was not dissatisfied after being criticized, but nodded excitedly.

He also knows that he has done a good job, but...defending Hu Lai means going all out and doing the best!

Sure enough, this is the strongest forward in world football today!

Wang Guangwei noticed Giordano's expression, and he could guess what the boy was thinking.

He did not stop Giordano from having bold ideas. After all, as a talented central defender who has attracted much attention, he has to play against Hu Lai to test his quality...

※※※

Soon when Hu Lai got the ball in the Vesuvius penalty area, Giordano almost touched him before he could catch the ball.

And he pushed back very hard to show Hu Lai his determination.

So this time Hu Lai failed to make a shot. He didn't even turn around and passed the football directly to Vukovich.

The latter completed the shot.

The latter's shot was blocked by Wang Guangwei's foot.

"Wang Guangwei! Good shot! He blocked Vukovic's long shot!"

Wang Guangwei pointed to the corner flag area and shouted: "Defend the corner kick!"

Then in the corner kick attack of the Madrid Pirates, he jumped up with Danny Drew to compete for the top. Since he was stuck in the position first, he cleared the ball with his head before Drew.

"Wang Guangwei! Another successful defense!"

When Wang Guangwei had an outstanding performance, the Chinese commentators He Feng and Yan Kang were very excited and spoke several decibels louder.

"As of now, twenty-three minutes into the game, Vesuvius still leads the Madrid Pirates 2:0 at home. The Pirates' offensive improved slightly, but they still failed to break Vesuvius' goal. Although Vesuvius is not like

The Turin Bulls attach great importance to defense, but as an Italian team, how can they easily have problems on defense?" Spanish commentator Sanchez also sighed.

※※※

Hu Lai knew that he was being closely watched by Vesuvius.

Although his team has encountered many problems this season, his scoring efficiency still ranks first among the others.

The coaches and players of Vesuvius know exactly who is the most threatening player for Madrid Pirates...

Even though Farias scored a very beautiful goal in the last Champions League game, it did not help him attract much defensive firepower.

It seems you still have to rely on yourself.

When Wang Guangwei stood next to Hu Lai again, Hu Lai covered his mouth and said to him: "Why are you guarding me, Lao Wang? They have said that the most threatening person in our team is Farias."

"Haha." Wang Guangwei was already immune to Hu Lai's nonsense. He sneered in return, "It's okay for you to lie to others, Hu Lai. Who is complaining about this naughty boy Farias in the group? Just take care of yourself."

He doesn't care about his teammates at all and has no sense of teamwork? What threat can such a player pose? If he has the ability, he can score five goals in a row again?"

Hu Lai curled his lips and said: "We will treat each other with admiration after three days of separation. Old Wang, think about it carefully, how long has it been since I complained about Farias in the group?"

Wang Guangwei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, because indeed... Hu Lai seems to have not complained about Farias in the group for several days. Is it true...

As a result, just when he was thinking this, Hu Lai suddenly ran out!

And caught the ball!

Then before Wang Guangwei could pounce on him, he took a shot!

The football made an arc, bypassed the fingers of Vesuvius goalkeeper Jacobs Persson, then went around the far post... and flew out of the baseline!

"Ah!" He Feng looked up to the sky and shouted regretfully, "That shot was a beautiful shot! It's a pity that it missed slightly!"

The Italian commentator exclaimed: "Oh! What a risk! Hu's shot almost scored! He used his clever movement to get rid of Wang briefly!"

Seeing Hu Lai holding his head in his hands, Wang Guangwei wanted to slap himself - why did I almost get in trouble with this kid again!?

In his only previous experience of fighting against Hu Lai, wasn't this how Hu Lai suddenly jumped out while chatting with him?

Sure enough, it’s been too long since we’ve fought each other, so have I even forgotten this lesson? I was actually fooled by Hu Lai using the same trick...

He shook his head mockingly, and even wanted to give Hu Lai a thumbs up: Sure, Hu Lai, after all these years, he still "doesn't forget his original intention"?

But I am no longer the high school student that you easily teased to the point of becoming impatient!

Yin Weng Martinez actively moved forward and participated in the attack.

He started to pass from the left wing, looking for Hu Lai in front of the goal.

However, Hu Lai was not able to grab the spot this time.

Because the landing point has been occupied by Wang Guangwei in advance.

He blocked Hu Lai's header to clear the ball and pushed the football away, ending the Madrid Pirates' attack.

The Vesuvius fans in the stands gave Wang Guangwei applause without hesitation.

Since joining Vesuvius from Eldrea four years ago, he has completely established himself as the main force in this team in just half a season.

Wang Guangwei, who is not too tall at only 1.85 meters, has become an indispensable part of Vesuvius's defense thanks to his precise judgment of where the football will land, his tireless running, and his brave confrontation.

of iron gates.

Although he received praise from the fans, Wang Guangwei's face did not show any happiness or relaxation.

Instead, he pointed to the wing and loudly reminded his teammates not to give the Madrid Pirates a chance to cross easily.

In fact, it is not difficult to guard Hu Lai in one-on-one situations, because he is not the kind of player with particularly strong individual combat ability.

So why has Hu Lai still become a "nightmare" for all defenders?

Because as a defender, it is impossible to defend just once in a game. Within ninety minutes of a game, defensive players must stay focused at all times and cannot be distracted or careless.

But humans are not machines, so how can they not be distracted and make mistakes?

The scariest thing about Hu Lai is that he can very efficiently seize the opportunity for you to make mistakes and get distracted.

This requires defensive players to remain vigilant and alert at all times when defending against random attackers.

Being in a state of mental stress for a long time increases the chance that players will make mistakes and become distracted.

The more you tense up, the more you make mistakes, and the more you make mistakes, the more you become tense...it becomes a vicious cycle.

As a defender who knows Hu Lai very well, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Guangwei to be complacent and think that he can guard Hu Lai just because of a successful defense.

But his centre-back partner Giuseppe Giordano doesn't seem to think so.

After Wang Guangwei successfully defended Hu Lai, he gave Wang Guangwei a thumbs up and said loudly: "Well done, Wang! That's it, we can definitely defend him!"

Wang Guangwei ignored Giordano, he seemed a little too excited today...

He wondered if he should remind Giordano during the halftime break to stop being so excited.

※※※

Facing the increasingly fierce offensive of the Madrid Pirates, Vesuvius chose to recycle the formation.

Anyway, they have a two-goal lead, so they can completely launch a defensive counterattack.

How deep does their formation go?

Even after the two forwards retreated to the center circle, all eleven players on the field were in their own half.

When Madrid Pirates center back Danny Drew got the ball, he was already in the center circle of the opponent's half, and the two Vesuvius forwards were not far from him.

In front of him is an advanced line of four Vesuvian midfielders, about ten meters away from him.

About ten meters behind the forward line are four defenders.

The four forwards closely follow the Madrid Pirates midfielder.

The four defenders pressed in front of the top of the penalty arc in unison - they even knew how to flag offside.

Under their pressure, it was impossible for the Madrid Pirates' forwards to reach Vesuvius' penalty area, and they could only retreat outward.

Yin Weng Martinez, as a left back, was moved to the left wing position.

Not far from him is Farias.

The two left players are concentrated in one place, making the left wing a little crowded.
