"Okay, the fans gave warm applause to Rui Andres. He came on as a substitute, and the one he replaced was Serie A, the top player Izelet. Today Izelet scored twice early in the first half, with two shots and one traditional goal to control the game..."

On the court, the second half of the game has just begun.

But Andres didn't care about the fans' applause, because he knew that it was not for him, but for Izelet.

In terms of playing style, he has accepted his fate and acts as an engineering player.

But in essence, Andres has never let go of his inner pride.

What he really enjoys is the core playing style in the midfield and frontcourt.

The coaching staff can actually feel that Andres still has many talents that have not been developed, so they have often given him the opportunity to lead the bench lineup in recent times.

Don't tell me, under the substitute lineup, Andres performed really well.

This year, in AC Milan and Italian Cup's games, Andres basically appeared in the attacking midfielder position to lead the team, and he did not live up to the team's trust.

Even when faced with a strong opponent like Inter Milan, Andres still perfectly played the core role and defeated the strong enemy when Izelet and others did not play.

It's a pity that all the limelight of that game was taken away by the mutual scolding and pushing between coaches Gutierrez and Inter Milan. Instead, Andres, the number one hero, was ignored by everyone.

Andres stood on the court like a slave, and he swore with tears that everyone must see me.

He will take over the next game today, and he will create the biggest massacre in the history of Italian Cup finals!

Only in this way will people notice that the team led by Andres is also so strong!

He needs this voice.

But soon, Andres discovered that the situation in the second half was a little different from what he had imagined.

San Remo, who had been beaten like a lost dog by AC Milan in the first half, actually started to press hard in the second half.

Moreover, they frequently knocked down AC Milan players forcefully.

Andres was knocked down three times in just five minutes.

"Are these people crazy?" Andres was very dissatisfied with San Remo's attitude and kept complaining to the referee.

But one thing is that the referee believes that the foul action committed by player San Remo just now is not enough to warrant a card.

What's more... you're all three to zero. If you keep a low profile, people won't jump over the wall in a hurry.

When you come up, you look like "Brothers, let's get three more of them". Who can stand it?

You still have Champions League finals to play, wake up brother!

It's a pity that the referee's eyes Andres didn't understand.

According to the standards of top teams, AC Milan's midfielder is somewhat mediocre and lacks creativity. Although Andres's appearance made up for this shortcoming, this flaw was once again reflected when San Remo pressed hard.

Andres's playing style is more of a classical attacking midfielder and requires a lot of holding the ball.

The same thing between him and Izelet is that they both prefer to break through to create opportunities.

The difference is that Andres has the dignity of a classic attacking midfielder. Most of his passes are the pursuit of the ultimate through ball.

And Izelet does not pursue the success rate of passing threatening balls or the final pass.

Therefore, under the pressure, Andres's ball-holding environment becomes worse, and it becomes more and more difficult to release the ball.

AC Milan's engineer midfielders were not active and smart enough to respond.

Therefore, AC Milan's attack became obscure for a while.

"This is the difference between Andres and Izelet." Soto was communicating with Lu Yang. As a AC Milan star, he must be very concerned about the team's situation. "Andres will undoubtedly become the core of the offense in a weak team. He has the ability to tear apart any enemy's defense."

"But if the opponent's defensive level is not low, his efficiency will decrease."

"It doesn't matter to a weak team. A weak team has no offensive efficiency and cannot create opportunities."

"But the strong team's own tactics and player strength determine that they can achieve a basic offensive efficiency no matter who they play. If the individual performance of the core players causes the team's efficiency to be worse than the efficiency without a core, then the team will abandon that seemingly talented core player."

"He is too stuck on the core. He is tired of data. If he is willing to ignore the so-called threatening passes, pass success rate, etc., he will become stronger, just like Izelet."

Lu Yang nodded and said, "Unfortunately, his position in the team is unstable. He must use these data to comfort his shaken mind."

"This is a paradox. He needs these data to support his self-confidence. Without this kind of playing style of playing for data, he will feel that he has really become an engineer. However, with this kind of playing style, he will never be regarded as the real core of the team."

This is somewhat similar to Becherci some time ago.

Only by truly letting go of those false reputations and integrating into the team as a character will you receive treatment that is no less than that of the core.

When Becherci now faces the enemy, isn't it just a threat to attack the core level?

Bang!

Latuidi completed a beautiful steal and Andres lost the ball.

Latuidi quickly passes it to Moric.

Moric passed the ball directly to the left side.

The opponent on the right side of Becherci is very strict. As we all know, the strong side of San Remo is on the right side and the weak side is on the left side, so most teams have less restrictions on San Remo's left side.

Fernandez tried to advance after receiving the ball, but the opponent was not in a hurry to grab it.

Moreover, AC Milan's players returned to position quickly.

Moric and Versace both came over, and Camihon also came up, trying to make a fuss on the left.

But AC Milan's defensive players also arrived immediately.

Bang!

Fernandez made a long pass and moved the football to the right.

Becherci chooses to cut inside after getting the ball.

AC Milan This side is relatively empty, which is a good opportunity to attack.

Bang!

Andres, who finally came back, brutally knocked down Becherci. He complained quite a bit about San Remo's pressing defense. He had been on the court for almost 20 minutes, but he had not performed well at all, which made him very angry.

Becherci got up and had an argument with Andres. The referee immediately intervened and calmed both sides down. San Remo won a well-positioned free kick.

At this time, San Remo made substitution adjustments.

Baizami replaced Fernandez.

This also sounded the clarion call for San Remo to counterattack. They were going to try some counterattacks.

With Baizami's speed, any team must be on guard.

The other thing is...

"Oh, we saw that Lu Yang is warming up! What does this mean? Is he going to play?"

"It is said that Lu Yang's injury has not recovered yet, so he probably won't play today!"

"The latest news, <la Repubblica> has just revealed a shocking inside story, Lu Yang received a blocking injection earlier today!"

"He's going to play, he's really going to play!"

"I really disagree with this situation, especially when players play in isolation. This has a great impact on the players' careers!"

"Lu Yang is so irrational. He was kidnapped by San Remo's honor and had to embark on a path of no return!"

"Why is he still so stupid when he clearly knows that this is a game that he will definitely lose?"

"Alas...San Remo harmed Lu Yang!"

"Lu Yang came on the field and replaced Versace. Versace hugged Lu Yang, as if telling Lu Yang to pay attention to his body."

On the court, when Lu Yang came on the stage, many people were silent.

Even if you are a San Remo fan.

Because they suddenly realized that their eager expectations were holding back Lu Yang's will?

Lu Yang, do you really want to be in this game?

"Soto loves this kid very much. At the Christmas party this year, he told me that I would never be able to guard against this kid's shot!" AC Milan On the bench, Plasedes was chatting and laughing with Izelet.

There are four the Butchers in Milan, and Plasedes is the only smallest the Butcher that is still fighting, and it is also the anchor of Milan in the post-the Butcher era.

Due to the existence of Soto, AC Milan actually has some good intentions towards San Remo.

"His eyes are very firm. I believe he is not just playing to deal with the fans." Izelet looked at Lu Yang's back.

Suddenly, Lu Yang turned around and looked at Izelet as well.

No words, no mouth movements, just eyes.

But in an instant, Izelet understood what Lu Yang meant.

"What does he mean?" Plasedes was a little confused, but he believed that Izelet should have understood the look in Lu Yang's eyes.

"He told us that we would regret that we ended up too early." Izelet said this slowly, and then kept staring at Lu Yang.

Izelet rarely regrets because his career has been so successful.

He was very curious about how far Lu Yang would go to make him regret it.

This is three to zero!

This is a score that is enough to make anyone despair.

What's more, Lu Yang is missing a leg!

On the field.

The free kick created by Becherci in this position is quite threatening.

He directly tried to hit the door, but was blocked by the door wall.

Then, AC Milan's center back made a big-footed clearance, and the football flew to the feet of Moric on the left near the center circle.

"Move!" Moric danced and asked his teammates to quickly return to their positions in an attempt to stabilize the rhythm.

San Remo's defenders evacuated immediately to avoid being counterattacked by AC Milan.

Although Izelet was defeated, every attack by AC Milan was still very threatening to San Remo.

At the same time, AC Milan's goalkeeper also signaled his defenders to take the opportunity to improve their defense.

Perhaps from the perspective of fans, everyone does not want their home team to set up a high defense line, because in this mode, if the defender makes a mistake, it will give the opponent's forward a broad sprint space.

Considering the speed of the central defender, this is basically a one-on-one shot to the opponent.

But as a goalkeeper, I actually hope that the defender's defense line can be higher.

The reason is very simple... if the defender's defense line is near the penalty area, then the opponent's direct shot after receiving the ball will also be at the penalty area line.

As for the long-range shot from this position, the goalkeeper has a high probability of being able to block it.

But if the defender's defense line is in a small penalty area, and the opponent's player can take the ball from the penalty spot or even closer to the penalty spot, then no matter how good a goalkeeper you are, it will be difficult for you to save the opponent's shot, or even react to the opponent's shot.

Human reaction takes time!

Just like that, players from both sides were quickly withdrawing from the AC Milan penalty area.

Many players became relaxed at this moment.

At this moment, a figure suddenly "swam upstream" from the retreating team!

At the same time, Moric, who was directing his teammates to retreat to his own half, suddenly started kicking without looking back.

Bang!

The football passed the crowd and flew into the AC Milan penalty area.

And there, a figure jumped up slightly.

The football landed on the man's ankle and stopped firmly.

"Single knife! Lu Yang reverse run! Moric overhead pass, Lu Yang single knife!"

"AC Milan's goalkeeper obviously hasn't recovered yet."

"Hit the far corner with your right foot! Lu Yang The shot is not very powerful this time!"

"Oops! The AC Milan goalkeeper is only one centimeter away from the ball! The football has a small arc and just passes the AC Milan goalkeeper's fingers!"

"The goal is in! San Remo scored a goal! Lu Yang came on as a substitute and scored a goal for San Remo in less than a minute!"

"San Remo Well done! San Remo used his tenacious spirit to interpret what it means to be glorious despite defeat!"

"AC Milan's players never thought that San Remo would dare to play like this! If the ball is intercepted by AC Milan, they will have a chance to fatally counterattack!"

"San Remo's playing style became bolder after Lu Yang came on the field. Obviously, Lu Yang is the courage of San Remo!"

"They are a small team. They were beaten 3-0 at halftime, but they never gave up. They told the world with their actions that they can also score goals against the world's top clubs!"

"Lu Yang's appearance may not be beyond the expectations of some people. But Lu Yang's appearance is definitely not just to comfort the fans, but just to show off."

"As long as he is still standing on the court, no matter how many injuries he suffers or how much criticism he receives, he will devote himself to the game!"

"Many people think that Lu Yang is playing behind closed doors just for the sake of gimmicks and is a hype!"

"Now I want to ask those people, is the goal just a hype? If there is such a hype, then I hope a little more! Every fan hopes a little more!"

"Lu Yang is awesome! Everyone shouts with me, Lu Yang is awesome!"

At the scene, San Remo fans finally let out their own cheers for the first time.

They have been suppressed for too long.

Even when Lu Yang came on the stage, they didn't cheer because the situation was really bad.

They are worried that the miracle they have been looking forward to will come to an end this time.

When Lu Yang failed, everyone hoped that he would. But when Lu Yang succeeded, everyone was worried that Lu Yang would not be able to create a miracle, thereby disappointing everyone.

This is a very complex mentality.

But fortunately, this time they finally got the right to breathe!

Lu Yang continues San Remo Miracle.

San Remo accomplished the highest goal set by many fans for this game... scoring a goal!

"What a wonderful reverse run, this guy is so smart!" Plasedes praised, "Of course, that Moric's pass is even more amazing, you can see it!"

"The two of them have a perfect tacit understanding, and they seem to be connected with each other!" Izelet also nodded, "But Lu's right leg must have been really weak. His shot just now was almost saved."

"If it were him before, he would have blasted the ball so the goalkeeper didn't even have time to react."

Plasedes said, "Come on, you only know how to make fun of others. No matter how stupid Lu is, he will not get into trouble with him if he hurts his leg with a blast. In the future, his long-range shots will probably become unparalleled and rare to see."

The coach AC Milan next to him was very dissatisfied with the team's attitude and cursed, "The team is careless and the players have slacked off. Someone should have been keeping an eye on Lu Yang just now. Even if no one was keeping an eye on him, it is an absolute dereliction of duty for the defenders to be distracted in such an important game!"

That's right.

The goal just now was wonderful, and the tacit understanding between Lu Yang and Moric amazed everyone.

But the more reason for this goal came from the carelessness of the AC Milan defense.

Lu Yang runs counterattack easily, and it's not too easy to get a chance to score a single goal.

Ironically, even after Lu Yang got a single shot, AC Milan's defenders were still telling the referee that Lu Yang was offside, and no one rushed towards Lu Yang first.

Otherwise, Lu Yang does not have time to adjust, and may not be able to score the single shot just now.

This dropped the ball, the attitude problem is too serious.

"Focus! Focus on me!" Coach AC Milan walked from the bench to the sidelines and started yelling.

AC Milan The players woke up from a dream and were ready to kick off.

But whether they have become more focused or not, only they themselves know.

"Tackle! Baizami, tackle! You are so fast, why don't you try to tackle? Wan-Bissaka Have you ever heard of it? Just shovel!"

After kick-off, AC Milan entered the offensive state, but soon Lu Yang's voice broke the peace on the court. He was very dissatisfied with Baizami's defense just now.

"Be determined! Be more determined! Camihon, forcefully knock them down! If you don't take the yellow card, is it difficult for Latuidi to take it?"

"Mathias, use more tackles! Only tackles can interrupt their attack. This is AC Milan. Any one of their players has the ability to challenge our defense!"

To be honest, the players of AC Milan did not feel honored after hearing Lu Yang's shouting. They were wailing in their hearts.

Need more strength?

Is there any mistake?

You have already scored a goal!

Stop shoveling, if this shovel hurts two people, will you help us play in the Champions League final?

"Give up the ball!" AC Milan Another midfielder was brought down. He came to respond to Andres, but the consequences were disastrous, so he gave this advice.

Andres looked at the eyes of his teammates and had to nod.

AC Milan hands over the ball, thereby minimizing physical contact with San Remo players and reducing the possibility of injury.

They went into defensive mode.

The big score massacre that Andres wants is impossible.

Even considering that Izelet is not present, AC Milan's counterattack threat has dropped significantly.

San Remo began to become the side with the ball.

Under Moric's combing, San Remo quickly played the left and right wings.

The left and right wings began to attack and coordinate with each other.

But AC Milan's defense was very solid, and most of San Remo's offense ended in vain.

Bang!

Lu Yang received a pass from Baizami from outside the penalty area and his left-footed volley was blocked by AC Milan central defender Chalobah.

This was his second failed long-range shot.

Today AC Milan was fully prepared for his left-footed shot.

They were sure that Lu Yang did not dare to shoot with his right foot.

Especially when Lu Yang scored a goal before, it confirmed the suspicion of the AC Milan players.

Lu Yang's right foot cannot exert force!

That kind of strong and domineering long-range shot, Lu Yang probably won't be able to kick it today, so you only need to guard Lu Yang's left foot.

And Chalobah's personal ability is indeed outstanding. So far, he has beaten Lu Yang to death.

Lu Yang ran to the penalty spot immediately.

He positioned the football and looked like he was going to take the corner kick.

The linesman stood aside and saw that Lu Yang was ready, so he looked towards the penalty area.

In the penalty area, players from both sides were quietly blocking positions, fighting openly and covertly, preparing to grab points.

However, at this time, Lu Yang suddenly reached out to Moric, who was squeezed out of the penalty area, and pointed to his right knee, signaling Moric to take the penalty kick. His right foot was inconvenient.

"Fuck!"

The AC Milan players were speechless for a while.

I was stuck for a long time, but you said you wanted to substitute for free throws.

Lu Yang left the corner kick area after finishing his action.

Moric was also preparing to lift his feet and walk from the small restricted area towards the corner flag area.

AC Milan's defenders took this time to renegotiate the issue of marking.

"That Becherci is looking for an opportunity to shoot from a long distance outside. Later, everyone should actively fight for the second spot."

"Soguer This big guy has come to the penalty area, Chalobah, you keep an eye on him... forget it, I'll keep an eye on him, Chalobah, you keep an eye on the players coming in behind to grab points."

"Who will follow this San Remo defender who scored an own goal? He is still a threat with a header."

Everyone in the penalty area is racing against time to redistribute marking targets.

Many corner kicks conceded are due to unclear marking targets and unclear defensive strategies such as marking or zone defense.

As long as these tasks are done well, conceding goals at set pieces will be greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, defense is still a matter of attitude. With a correct attitude, more training, and more communication, once a tacit understanding is formed, it will not be too bad.

But when everyone was discussing.

Bang!

Lu Yang, who seemed to be leaving the corner flag area, suddenly turned around, returned to the corner flag area, raised his foot and passed the ground ball.

Many people didn't understand what was going on.

But AC Milan's coach on the sidelines understood. "Fuck! Defend! Defend!"

Unfortunately, his voice failed to wake everyone up.

When the football landed at the feet of Moric near the small penalty area, no one except the goalkeeper AC Milan reacted.

Then... Moric fired a shot, and the football went straight into the upper left corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper pounced downward, which was completely opposite to the direction of the ball.

"GOAL!"

When the football hit the net, Moric jumped high to celebrate, and then quickly ran in the direction of Lu Yang. The two celebrated selflessly, trying to confirm the goal and prevent the referee from being influenced by others and changing the result.

It was only then that the AC Milan players realized what had just happened.

They looked at each other and didn't even think of complaining about the corner kick immediately.

Although this corner kick is not a foul, looking for trouble after the opponent scores a goal is what any player who loses the ball should do.

But the players of AC Milan forgot.

This means that they acknowledged San Remo's goal, and it also means that they still don't pay that much attention to this conceded goal.

Because they are still ahead.

They are three to two. Hey, how come San Remo has two goals?

In an instant, the AC Milan players felt a sense of crisis.

"Perfect! Lu Yang is so smart! He sent a world assist!"

"San Remo's second goal appeared, made by Moric!"

"San Remo Twins is shining, they can change the score in any situation!"

"Lu Yang pretended not to take a corner kick, but when AC Milan players turned around and communicated carelessly, they suddenly took a corner kick."

"Through the replay, we can see that not only AC Milan's players, but also San Remo's own players were misled by Lu Yang's actions."

"Soguer was still discussing positions with Nagy, but Moric saw the football coming from Lu Yang."

"Moric's feet are so strong, he kicked the ball with great force! First-Time Shot, his footwork is really accurate!"

"Lu Yang's passing choice is also very clever. He chose ground balls instead of air passes. If it was the latter, Moric might not be able to do anything. After all, he is only 1.74 meters tall."

"Three to two! There is only one goal difference between the two sides! AC Milan players, you should wake up. Because what is standing opposite you is a miracle! They can do anything, anything!"

"I take back what I said in the first half that the AC Milan players can pop the champagne during halftime. The suspense of the game still exists. San Remo is as tenacious as a hard iron block. They have won everyone's respect!"

I didn't consult Taozi when I had a bad cold, I just came as I was told, and I could only try my best to update these days.

It's mainly dizziness and nausea, which affects my state too much. I hope everyone can understand... Sigh...
