This heaven-defying vision of the game reminds Chivu of Sneijder!

The passing lane just now was actually excellent.

Whether it was the spot or the direction, it was just right!

However, Tang Long knew that the reason this ball wasn't passed well, the key issue wasn't that the Green Field Intelligence Engine System had given the wrong prompt.

The AI system's prompt was actually not wrong at all!

It was just that such a prompt was based on an analysis of 1,000 professional football matches.

Among them were top-tier passers like Pirlo, Iniesta, and Ronaldinho.

The ideas and lines provided by the system were flawless.

This was fed by a massive database of 1,000 matches.

The crux of the problem was that Tang Long's own passing ability was too poor!

This is what is often said on the football pitch—the technique didn't keep up with the vision!

Tang Long understood this principle, and the assistant coach Chivu on the sidelines naturally understood it even better!

But back in his playing days, as a top player who had once played for Ajax, Roma, and Inter Milan, Chivu also understood another straightforward truth:

Sometimes, having the right vision is more important than precise technique!

Because technique can be continuously refined through training.

However, in the lightning-fast moments on the pitch, being able to make the correct decision in an instant—that is what better reflects a player's potential!

Especially for a young player like Tang Long, this point is even more important!

It is also the key flash of brilliance that best reflects the growth ceiling of this player.

That is why Chivu was applauding Tang Long so excitedly from the sidelines.

It doesn't matter if the pass wasn't good, as long as the vision is correct, then one is always on the path of progress.

"That ball just now was indeed a good one. To pass it first-time while being sandwiched by two defenders, and with his weak foot at that—in all my years of coaching, no one in the Inter Milan Youth Academy has ever been able to do that."

Chivu thought to himself.

The match continued.

Team B, which had been suppressed for over ten minutes, was now gradually recovering, starting to organize effective passing and movement.

And Tang Long also gradually moved back from the defensive midfield position to his familiar attacking midfield role.

Because Team A was playing with high pressing, Tang Long actually faced less defensive pressure in the attacking midfield position, which was closer to the opponent's penalty area.

"Tang, receive!"

After the Team B full-back played a one-two with the midfielder, he passed the ball to Tang Long in the attacking midfield position.

Seeing Tang Long preparing to receive the ball, Team B's striker Enzo was immediately excited~

He repeated his old trick, running laterally right away, expecting Tang Long's pass to arrive.

Especially when he noticed that Tang Long was able to receive the ball with his non-dominant right foot this time, Enzo believed that the probability of him successfully receiving a brilliant pass from Tang Long was much higher.

"Watch Enzo's position!"

Chivu on the sidelines couldn't help but immediately give instructions to Tang Long.

However, this time Tang Long did not pass the ball first-time, but instead trapped the ball at his feet.

He immediately pulled the ball back, shifting from facing the goal to turning his back to it.

Seeing that Tang Long did not pass, the Team A defenders immediately pushed their line forward.

Enzo of Team B instantly fell into an offside position.

"Sigh, still not decisive enough. There was clearly a great passing lane..."

Chivu frowned.

"It seems that the previous side-footed pass with his weak foot was just a flash in the pan; Tang Long's control of the pitch is still mediocre."

However, the very next second, Tang Long executed a pass that shocked everyone on the field, including his opponents!

He dragged the ball and spun around, using the outside of his right foot to curl a high arc toward the far left side of the pitch!

The ball soared into the air!

Because Team B had been controlling the ball on the right flank for so long, the left side of the pitch was left wide open.

Therefore, even though Tang Long's pass was struck with the outside of his foot, the ball speed was slow and floated through the air, yet it still landed right at the feet of the overlapping Team B left-back—

The defense was torn open once again!

The attacking situation for Team B suddenly opened up!

"Ah! He—he actually saw the other side!"

Chivu's jaw nearly hit the ground.

You have to understand, even someone at Chivu's level, had his focus entirely on the congested right side of the pitch.

Even he hadn't noticed that the Team B left-back was already making a rapid run forward!

Instead of trying to coordinate with Enzo in the crowded right lane, it was far better to launch the ball to the left.

"Holy crap! The ball actually came!"

At the same time, the Team B left-back who received the ball on the left felt the surprise had come a bit too suddenly.

To be honest, this run forward was entirely subconscious!

He never expected Tang Long to be able to pass the ball to him.

After being stretched like this, the left-back who received the ball was facing nothing but open space, and immediately accelerated toward the penalty area!

With no one defending him, he sent a simple cross, and Enzo tapped it into the net.

"Perfect! That was simply a perfect pass! The decision-making was spot on! I never expected a youth player from Inter Milan to possess such vision!"

Chivu didn't clap this time, but instead took a deep breath on the sidelines.

His heart was pounding!

He was reminded of his own playing days at Inter Milan.

Back then, when he would push forward from the left-back position, he would occasionally receive such outside-of-the-foot passes from the master playmaker, the Dutchman Sneijder.

They could tear through the gaps in the defense in an instant!

Although Chivu knew, that Tang Long's outside-of-the-foot pass just now, whether in terms of ball speed or precision, They were all far inferior to the Sneijder of those years!

But, so what?

As an 18-year-old youth player, at least at the moment Tang Long delivered that pass, in Chivu's eyes, his vision was not the slightest bit inferior to the midfield maestro Sneijder, who had led the team to a treble in 2010!

"Vision, vision, vision!"

Chivu muttered this football term to himself repeatedly on the sidelines.

At this moment, he saw infinite potential on the pitch in Tang Long.

In the remainder of the match, Chivu's eyes didn't look at anyone else, all his focus was concentrated solely on Tang Long.

To tell the truth.

The level of the Team B players was still far inferior to Team A.

Although the final score was Team A defeating Team B 3:1, if he had to choose a Man of the Match, Chivu would award it to Tang Long without the slightest hesitation.

In these short 30 minutes, the vision and overall awareness Tang Long displayed on the pitch

far surpassed his teammates and opponents.

Several times with through balls in front of the penalty area, Tang Long's decision-making was completely flawless!

He had already anticipated his teammates' runs and the defensive setup of the opposition.

But either the weight of the pass wasn't controlled well, or it was because his teammates didn't make their runs in time, so they couldn't convert into assists.

However, the flash of brilliance in Tang Long's command of the game had already conquered Chivu on the sidelines.

"Tang, not bad, did you feel like you were cheating today?"

"How did you think of those passing lanes? They were textbook through balls!"

"I'm really sorry, Tang, that chip pass near the end—if I hadn't been a step slow, that ball would definitely have been a one-on-one, sigh!"

Tang Long said mysteriously: "It's mainly because I like watching football. I watch a lot of games, you know?"

After the match ended, several teammates gathered around, chattering away with Tang Long about the game that had just finished, discussing Tang Long's excellent passing.

"Tang, don't go to the locker room yet, come straight to my office."

Chivu walked over with a smile.

He patted Tang Long on the shoulder.

He signaled for him to accompany him to the coach's office.
