In the 80th minute of the game, AC Milan realized its shame and became brave, setting off an offensive storm.

They tried to suppress San Remo with offense.

And the effect of this is indeed obvious.

In the past ten minutes, San Remo has not created any threats.

Including Lu Yang, they also retreated between their own penalty area and midfield, actively participating in defense.

As we all know, for many players, participating in defense is destined not to participate in offense. This is a zero-sum game.

Even in the future, the tactical system requires players to have the ability to play both offense and defense, but at a certain moment, players can still only play a single role, and it still does not change that offense and defense cannot be played at both ends.

"Baizami was strangled to death." Moric walked up to Lu Yang while defending the opponent's set kick.

Baizami will always be the vanguard of San Remo's counterattack.

His threat is visible to the naked eye.

Therefore... he rarely really plays a role in scoring on counterattacks. His threat is limited to threats.

Throughout San Remo, the player with the most counterattack scores was not Baizami at all, but... Lu Yang!

He is the arrow figure in San Remo's counterattack tactics.

"If you can't run anymore, we will definitely lose this game!" Moric said in a solemn tone.

Lu Yang flipped through his panel, considering that skills such as "Kaka's Long Stride" and "Bale's Outside Overtake" can only be activated when he has the ball or is surrounded by other defensive players. His speed when he has the ball may be faster than when he does not have the ball.

What's more... the speed of Lu Yang does not yet have the ability to accelerate twice.

Without the ball, even if he can get rid of the defensive players, it is difficult for him to force AC Milan's back line.

But it's different with the ball.

He also has top-notch passing skills such as Dragon Tail Flick, which makes him a stronger threat when he has the ball.

"Give me the ball, don't advance too much, I can beat them all!" Lu Yang looked at Moric.

The latter felt that Lu Yang was simply crazy.

But considering that Lu Yang had a history of "epilepsy", Moric had to reply, "Okay, I hope you can complete this great scene before breaking your leg. I'm really worried that you will fall directly to the ground when dribbling the ball, making AC Milan think that we San Remo are a porcelain team!"

The two men exchanged a few "friendly greetings" with each other and their relatives, and then returned to their respective posts.

AC Milan's free kick is in a good position. Although it is a bit far away, it can theoretically be shot directly.

Andres and another midfielder stood behind the football, seemingly preparing to play a cooperative game.

Then, Andres raised a finger.

Bang!

Another midfielder made a long pass and the football flew towards the San Remo penalty area.

This is a pass!

AC Milan's defender did not press forward, which also gave everyone the illusion that Andres was preparing to hit the goal directly.

So when this pass appeared, several San Remo players were hit more or less, and their judgment was wrong.

But at the critical moment, San Remo's First Striker Nagy showed his strong sense of smell in front of the goal.

He jumped up hard and pushed the football towards the outside of the penalty area before center AC Milan.

The football falls to Moric.

Moric was surrounded by people and did not have enough space to catch the ball, but he still relied on his strong balance and toughness to bend his body to make room for his own legs, turned around and volleyed the football away.

This is a failure Rocket Pass-Shot!

Because the placement of the football is not precise.

Moric simulated the approximate position of Lu Yang in his brain, but when the ball was passed, he was still a little disappointed.

He made a mistake.

This pass was also missed.

The football fell behind Lu Yang, and there was Andres, the core player of AC Milan.

Andres turned around and hooked the football with his instep.

Being able to control a high-altitude football with strong irregular rotation behind him like this is enough to prove how strong Andres's skills are at his feet.

But just at this moment.

Lu Yang In his mind, a card suddenly shattered!

Lu Yang felt wind under his feet, and his speed suddenly accelerated, like a supercar, the acceleration from zero to 100 mph was instantaneous.

Moment Card, Kaka,2007.4.24, AC Milan VS Manchester United, Champions League Semi-final first round.

Bang!

Andres had already stopped the football at the first blow, and the football bounced slightly to his left. After landing, he turned around and accelerated to immediately launch a second impact on San Remo's goal.

This secondary impact is very fatal. At that time, the defensive formation will be completely scattered and full of loopholes.

San Remo scored AC Milan's first goal in this game, which came from such a second impact.

However, the football had already disappeared before it even hit the ground.

Andres looked up, and saw a blue and white figure galloping in front of him.

San Remo has two jerseys, one is red and white, and the other is blue and white.

Milan is wearing a red and black jersey today, and San Remo is naturally wearing a blue and white jersey.

"It's Lu Yang!"

"The moment Andres stopped the ball, Lu Yang suddenly accelerated. His burst was so powerful! He surpassed Andres in an instant and robbed the football!"

"Lu Yang ran all the way, and there was nothing in front of him except AC Milan's back line!"

"Andres is chasing back like crazy. This ball came from his mistake in stopping the ball... Maybe it was not a mistake in stopping the ball. Once Andres finally got the ball, it was a clever stop, saving the time difference for Andres to slow down, turn around and accelerate again, but it's a pity..."

"When the ball was taken away by Lu Yang, Andres made a complete mistake!"

"Oh! The distance has not been shortened! Andres, who also appeared in the second half, did not catch up with Lu Yang. It can be seen that he tried his best, but the distance between him and Lu Yang is getting farther and farther!"

"Why is it so fast? Lu Yang is so fast that there is no reason! Is his leg really injured?"

"AC Milan central defender rushed forward, Lu Yang faked the ball. He seemed to break to the left, but turned the ball to the right... He did not deceive the AC Milan central defender! The opponent correctly judged the direction of Lu Yang's breakthrough! Lu Yang, dangerous!"

"Oh my god! Lu Yang is too fast. Although the AC Milan central defender has judged the right direction, the time he spent thinking is enough for Lu Yang to walk away from him!"

"Andres hasn't given up yet, he is still chasing, but he is no longer a threat to Lu Yang's dribbling and attack. He is just like Moric less than ten minutes into the first half, helpless against Izelet!"

AC Milan The young player Chalobah is very capable. He quickly gathered up, stood in the central defender position and leaned against Lu Yang, and there was a physical confrontation with Lu Yang.

However, Chalobah felt like he had hit a high-speed moving wall, and he did not gain any advantage against it.

Even, he was being overtaken by Lu Yang.

But Chalobah did not return in vain

His confrontation made Lu Yang, who was dribbling the ball on the right side of the center, move further to the right, and forced Lu Yang to lift the football from his left foot to his right foot.

On the right side of the goal, take the ball with your right foot, which is not conducive to shooting.

At the same position, the angle of the left foot shot is more than twice as large as the angle of the right foot shot!

What's more, Lu Yang has an injury to his right knee, and his right foot shooting is already a weakness during this period.

To sum up, tactically, Chalobah made a very successful defense.

You can even compare this defense with the classic one-to-two defense of Van Dijk, the world's number one central defender at this stage.

However...

Bang!

Lu Yang suddenly kicked off his right foot during the confrontation.

The ball speed is not very fast, but the angle is very tricky.

The football passed the AC Milan goalkeeper and went straight to the goal line.

AC Milan's deep-lying center back quickly returned to defense, but rolled into the net with the football, failing to prevent the goal from happening.

"GOAL! Miracle! We witnessed a miracle!"

"Three to three! San Remo Miracle equalized the score!"

"Evening the score after more than 80 minutes, this may be a perfect tie!"

"Lu Yang scored twice! He traveled thousands of miles alone and completed a dribbling breakthrough of more than 60 meters by himself, eating AC Milan's entire defense line alive!"

"You can't believe that this is a player with a knee injury! You can't believe that he had a blocking injection before playing!"

"Many people said beforehand that Lu Yang's choice was in vain and that he was kidnapped by San Remo Miracle! But now it seems that a miracle is a miracle, and miracles can never be speculated based on common sense!"

"Today's Lu Yang performed no worse than Izelet! If Izelet were on the court, maybe they would become each other's strongest opponents!"

"AC Milan was really too careless. They replaced Izelet and the Butcher Plasedes in advance. This became the main reason for their collapse in this game!"

"Of course, this is not the end yet. The score of three to three means that the game has restarted. Next, anyone may become the owner of the Italian Cup trophy!"

"AC Milan must work hard and use their best competitive state!"

"Oh...Andres What happened?"

"Wait, he... he vomited?"

On the court, Andres came to the sidelines and was retching in pain.

This scene is exactly the same as Moric after Izelet rode alone for thousands of miles in the first half.

Moric looked at Andres's back and felt inexplicably much better.

You see, we are all not the same.

They have all become the backdrop for others to travel thousands of miles alone.

You are the core midfielder of AC Milan, and I am the core midfielder of San Remo. We are brothers and sisters who are almost the same.

This goal completely awakened the will of San Remo fans.

"San Remo Miracle!"

In the stadium stands, San Remo fans are waving their homemade team flags wildly.

All San Remo fans shouted in unison, "It's setting sail!"

Miracle... here comes!

"Control, let me see your control of football, Andres!" Coach AC Milan was telling Andres who was retching on the sidelines, "Use the team's advantages to play a threatening offense, do you understand?"

"In addition, tell the team's defense that at any time, there must be at least three people standing in the backcourt! We can do without the midfield, but we cannot do without the defense!"

After saying that, coach AC Milan applied for a substitution.

AC Milan The central defender responsible for attacking today was too incompetent in the AC Milan central defender combination. He was easily passed by many times, so AC Milan replaced him and chose another starting central defender.

Yes, starting center back!

AC Milan didn't have to take this Italian Cup at first.

But now, they cannot accept a 3-0 counterattack.

This will have a huge impact on the team's morale.

In this game, they suddenly became unable to lose.

"Oh, AC Milan replaced a starting central defender. So far, they have used up three substitutions. And San Remo has also made adjustments. They replaced Becherci and replaced him with Beretelli!"

"This means that San Remo does not want to play overtime with AC Milan. Do they want to decide the winner in regular time?"

Different people have different opinions on this.

Some people think that Becherci performed well enough today. He was violated by AC Milan players many times and won many set pieces for the team.

San Remo's first goal came from a set kick he created.

He's out of gas.

In the last ten minutes or so, Becherci's threat has been greatly reduced. If overtime is played, his condition will be even worse. At that time, AC Milan can put pressure on San Remo without fear.

Therefore, when Beretelli is replaced, it is not necessarily because he does not want to play overtime, but it may be to prepare for overtime.

After all, this year's San Remo has a mystery, that is, they have never lost before entering overtime!

They are the kings of overtime!

In the seven rounds of the cup, four or five overtimes were played, one penalty shootout was used to win the opponent, and many overtimes were used to win the opponent.

If AC Milan is not afraid of this kind of metaphysics, it would be false.

Because they have now felt the power of metaphysics.

San Remo Miracle is setting sail, broken leg Lu Yang two shots and one pass, can you believe it?

Don't believe it, people wouldn't even dare to think about this before the game!

"Chalobah, don't go up when attacking. Whenever Lu Yang comes to our half, you have to come over in time to restrict him!" AC Milan, the starting center back, brought the instructions from the head coach.

The young general Chalobah means taking orders.

He looked at Lu Yang fiercely.

If it weren't for Lu Yang, he might have just completed a world-class defense.

But now... he has become one of the backdrops for a world-class goal.

It would be false to say that he doesn't hate Lu Yang.

After all, he is still a youth training player. He is not even a stable substitute for the first team in AC Milan. He needs every opportunity to shine.

Anyone who takes away his opportunity is his enemy.

Bang!

Soon, Lu Yang, who was catching the ball near the midfield, was knocked down by AC Milan, the left back Chalobah, as soon as he took the ball.

Considering the position of Chalobah, there is no doubt that this is a marking.

The referee came over quickly, but did not give Chalobah a yellow card because Chalobah's movement was not big. It was just a normal defense with a little force.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Yang will stand up quickly and glare at the other person to make the other person feel that he is angry and not easy to mess with.

This is the iron-blooded side of Lu Yang.

But this time, Lu Yang fell to the ground and did not get up for a long time.

"What's going on?"

"Let's take a look at the replay... Oh, Lu Yang's right foot was the supporting leg when he caught the ball. Chalobah pressed over, and Lu Yang withstood the energy of his entire body and gravity acceleration."

"Lu Yang's right leg has an obvious unnatural bending movement!"

"After the blocking injection, Lu Yang not only has no pain in the right knee, but also has no feeling at all in the right knee. Without feeling, you can easily injure it."

"Lu Yang's unloading method just now was incorrect, or he was eager to control the ball and did not have the extra energy to control his body, which directly sprained his right leg!"

"His right leg may not hurt, but his right leg seems to be unable to exert force. We can see that Lu Yang is sitting on the ground and is hitting his right leg hard, as if to wake up his already necrotic body!"

"Oh my god, I can't bear to see what happens next."

"The San Remo players gathered around him immediately, but they did not ask Chalobah for a theory, nor did they go forward to comfort Lu Yang. They didn't know what else they could do at this time. Perhaps they had never seen their leader look so helpless."

"Moric ask the team doctor to come in quickly, San Remo's team doctor is checking."

"The situation seems to be very bad. The team doctor is asking Lu Yang some information, such as whether it hurts, can you feel me pressing your knee, etc., but Lu Yang keeps shaking his head."

"Chalobah's collision was just a trigger. Lu Yang's injury and playing closed was the fundamental reason. And... the 60-meter super run just now was shocking and shattered AC Milan's arrogance and confidence, but it also completely destroyed Lu Yang's right leg."

"That kind of load is completely beyond Lu Yang's ability to bear. It's not just pain, I even wonder if Lu Yang's key muscles and tendons have been ruptured! I'm also worried that his meniscus has been worn out!"

"This is an injury beyond the will!"

"Oh, my God! San Remo The team doctor motioned for the stretcher to come on."

"Wait a minute, Lu Yang refused the stretcher! Lu Yang stood up!"

In the middle of the court, Lu Yang stretched out his hand to indicate that he did not need a stretcher, and stood up on his own initiative. He tapped his right thigh to the team doctors and told them, "Relax, guys, I just lost some strength. You see, I have no problem at all now!"

After saying that, Lu Yang smiled, jumped twice slightly, and trotted all the way, trying to prove that there was nothing wrong with him.

But soon...

Plop!

Lu Yang, who had not run two meters, suddenly fell to the ground.

He couldn't feel his right leg.

He was like a cripple, his right side was empty.

This is a situation that cannot be undone even with a closed needle.

This means that there must be a big problem with Lu Yang's right leg!

It's definitely not just a big problem with muscle strain!

It could be a cruciate ligament problem!

"You can really do it!" Lu Yang buried his head on the grass and finally showed a wry smile.

After driving for such a long time, I got used to the smooth sailing, but in the end, a muscle strain was actually caused by myself and became serious. I guess it is possible that the cruciate ligament is torn and the tendon is completely ruptured, right?

Damn it!

Unexpectedly, Kaka and Moment Card can't deal with injuries.

Lu Yang I originally thought that with Moment Card, I could at least finish the second half.

As a result, I didn't expect Kaka's dragon to be so fierce. Lu Yang's body had to be fully fired up to support it, so the injury became so serious in an instant.

So, did you lose the bet this time?

Lu Yang competed with Serie D and Serie C. He never lost a single match and never thought that he would lose the championship if he lost once!

The most important thing is, forget about Maniero's mission.

Iron Man No chance!

Sure enough, if you give it a try, your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle, and you will lose your pants!

Lu Yang slapped the lawn helplessly.

At this moment, the game was stopped because of him.

The camera was locked on Lu Yang lying on the lawn for a long time.

The commentator didn't know what else to say at this moment. He could only mechanically describe what he saw. "Lu Yang fell on the lawn, covering his face and crying. He slapped the lawn. Maybe he had a premonition of the team's fate."

"But no matter what, I still hope that Lu Yang can leave the field for treatment as soon as possible. He is the most shining star on this court today, no one!"

The next moment, the entire audience started to applaud, including the audience of AC Milan.

"Now I know why Soto likes him." Plasedes's mind has always been filled with the image of Lu Yang running with a smile and then falling down without warning, "This kid is so damn hard!"

"If it were me, I might not be able to fight against the destiny." Izelet applauded Lu Yang.

Including Andres, who suffered a lot in front of Lu Yang in this game, all applauded and said, "Lu Yang, you are a real hero!"

The applause was enthusiastic and resounded throughout San Siro!

On the sidelines, Maniero's eyelids jumped as he had fallen into a state of silence since Lu Yang scored his first goal.

His hands were shaking.

"What's wrong with you?" Martivni asked, "You went to the San Remo locker room during the halftime break and something didn't feel right. I know that the closure of the Chinese mainland affected your plan for European Under-21 Championship, but you have to admit that he made the right bet in this game!"

"After playing such a brilliant record, no matter what his future is, he will be remembered forever. This is the meaning of the famous game! He is indeed a player with a big heart!"

"Of course, the price of this famous competition is also heavy. I think he may not be able to participate in European Under-21 Championship!"

"The only pity is that without his Italy Youth National Team, I don't know how far we can go in this European Under-21 Championship. You have to hold on, Maniero, if you are eliminated early, we will all be doomed!"

Maniero was absent-minded and obviously did not listen to Martivni's worried words.

He just squinted his eyes slightly.

Because at this moment, in the eyes of Maniero, the light on Lu Yang... is too strong!

He remembered the previous conversation with Lu Yang in the corridor.

Maniero knows that he is not the "devout believer" who God sent people to save three times but failed to save.

But the small wooden boat he used to save himself was indeed overturned by the huge waves of reality. Just like Lu Yang at this moment, desperate and helpless, all in but lost everything!

The same story happened for the third time. This time, can the person named Lu Yang survive the huge waves and ride the wind and waves?

On the court, Lu Yang finally stood up again. There were no tears on his face, only perseverance.

He looked into the stands and looked at Maniero.

Their eyes met, at this moment, Maniero seemed to have returned to the original playing field.

At the last moment of the European Championship final more than ten years ago, facing a desperate score, Maniero once thought, if he had not been injured, would the result of this game be different?

Yes, in fact, he is still not relieved in his heart, and he is still worried about the game during the injury period.

While walking in the aisle, he told Soto that he had no regrets.

But in his heart, he couldn't do it without complaining.

Until this moment, until he saw Lu Yang's eyes, Maniero discovered that Lu Yang had no complaints about this game, this injury, and the decision to play a closed game! No regrets!

He lived to pursue victory until death.

Although he is not a Iron Man, his will is stronger than steel!

Vaguely, Maniero thought of a perfect player that he had dreamed of countless times.

He can overcome all injuries. He has a strong body and advanced playing concepts that transcend the times. He is the self that Maniero envisioned, but he has never seen clearly what his "perfect self" looks like.

But now, he seemed to finally see it clearly.

That man... has an oriental face.

"Thank you, Lu!" Maniero's eyes were red and he murmured in a low voice. It was Lu Yang who really made him feel relieved.

The next moment, there was a roar in Lu Yang's mind.

"Thank you, Maniero!" Lu Yang looked at Maniero, with a smile gradually appearing on his face.

"Ding! You have completed the special mission, Maniero's vision!"

"Ding! You have obtained the superstar skill 'Iron Man-Maniero'"

"Iron Man-Maniero, you have a body that may not be strong. You may not look tall and powerful, but deep in your flesh and blood is a backbone made of steel! Your obsession with victory can make you ignore all injuries! When you stand on the court, you will be exempt from injury, and no matter how serious the injury is, it will not stop you from continuing to play."

"Note: After the game, the injuries will still exist, but they will be randomly reduced by 50% to 90%. At the same time, your injury recovery speed will also be increased by 200%!"
