The fighting continued fiercely.
Enriquez took a long shot from outside, but Areola flew out and saved it.
Lam Bigfoot makes a rescue.
Moric outside the penalty area gets the ball and directly Rocket Pass-Shot without looking at anyone at all.
Ceballos was brought down in the frontcourt before, and the referee did not blow the whistle. At this time, it became the best response point.
He caught the football and there were only three people in the opponent's backfield.
A defender is near him, and a defender is on the way toward him.
There is another defender in the penalty area.
Ceballos glanced at the backcourt and found Lu Yang running towards the frontcourt.
So he moved around, being double-teamed by two opponents, dribbling the football and making various fake moves.
He brought the football to the sideline not to break through, but to delay time.
Finally, after Lu Yang crossed the center circle a few steps, Ceballos took the ball and turned and passed the ball while retreating.
Bang!
Ceballos was knocked down by the opponent.
He holds the ball for too long, which can easily irritate opposing defenders, just like Neymar always does.
But football has been spread!
Lu Yang rushes towards the penalty area.
There is only one central defender on the penalty area line.
The ball landed about one meter outside the penalty area, so the Spain goalkeeper could not attack and could only stay at the goal and pay attention to the situation at all times.
Lu Yang and Spain center backs begin to wrestle.
Football is getting closer.
Lu Yang has his back to the goal, leaning against the Spain centre-back, with the opponent behind and to his right.
This is to force Lu Yang to the left and minimize Lu Yang's shooting angle.
This is a very smart defense.
Soon, the football came flying.
Bang!
Lu Yang catches the ball with the inner instep of his left foot.
But this was not a stop. Lu Yang's foot gave the football a force, causing a slight change in the direction of the football, from the "/" direction to the "<" direction (the football moves from top to bottom along the line).
The football flew from the defensive player's right side into the penalty area.
At the same moment, Lu Yang turned to the left and passed the defender from the left side.
In an instant, Spain central defender was lost in the multiple-choice question "Should I block the football or Lu Yang?"
Opportunities can only be seized in one moment.
If you miss it once, you miss it forever.
Bergkamp's Knock-and-Run!
Spain The central defender is like a stone in the middle of the river.
Lu Yang and football are like rivers, they automatically diverge when encountering a stone, but quickly merge into one behind the stone.
Spain The goalkeeper watched the football pass his teammates and struck immediately.
But Lu Yang turned around and appeared directly behind the football.
Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Lu Yang calmly pushed into the far corner.
Spain The goalkeeper fell to the ground to save the ball, but because the ball still had a certain arc, he was unable to stop the ball in the end.
The eighty arc is no joke!
Lu Yang's shooting is no longer what it used to be!
The next second, white waves surged.
Lu Yang made a fist with his left hand and raised his right hand, high-fiving Ceballos in celebration.
Four to three!
Italy takes the lead again!
The time left for Spain is already less than ten minutes!
"Hat trick! Lu Yang completed the hat trick! He is a truly big-hearted player! His goal tipped the balance of victory to Italy!"
"This is Lu Yang's ninth personal goal this year for European Under-21 Championship! Therefore, he once again tied with Enriquez to top the European Under-21 Championship scorer list!"
"If Enriquez's performance in this game is impeccable, then Lu Yang's performance is even more shocking! Although I don't want to admit it, so far, Lu Yang has indeed overshadowed Enriquez!"
"This is a perfect combination of teamwork and individual heroism. This is what the most perfect football looks like!"
"Ceballos controls the ball a lot, which seems to delay the fight, but in fact it has been waiting for Lu Yang to move! During this period, if Ceballos's ability to control the ball and dribble is even worse, this opportunity will be gone!"
"In this competition, Ceballos's control ability has been fully demonstrated. He can definitely become the core of the frontcourt offense in any team!"
"Similarly, if Ceballos's ball control is the embodiment of technology, then Lu Yang's stoppage has transcended the category of technology and entered the realm of art!"
"I will never understand why when I stop the ball with my left foot, the ball does not fall on the spot or fly to the right, but flies from the right to the back!"
"It is possible and very common to pick the ball with your left foot and let the football fly behind you from the left. But flying behind you in the opposite direction, passing someone, and then turning around in the opposite direction is really outrageous! This series of actions can be as confusing as you want, but Lu Yang does it as naturally as breathing, without any twisting!"
"It was a perfect pass, no one had ever played like that before, never!"
"Now the European Under-21 Championship organizing committee has a headache. They can't choose the best goal of this year's European Under-21 Championship. Because several of Lu Yang's goals are considered to be the best! There is no way to choose!"
"Italy Youth National Team players are celebrating enthusiastically!"
"Italy's first international championship trophy in twelve years is about to be born? Let's wait and see!"
Spain, who was one goal behind, was a little panicked.
The championship is right in front of you, but you have to give it up to others?
And the other party is Italy Youth National Team, who has never been very outstanding.
Can you be angry about this?
"Let's run, we still have a chance, we have a chance!" Enriquez shouted excitedly to his teammates.
Teammates woke up one after another.
Yes, there is still a chance!
Enriquez God descended to earth today and could score one or two, why couldn't he score the third?
What Dongfang Lu can do, Enriquez can definitely do it too!
Because Enriquez is the best young football player in the world!
Soon, Spain launched an attack. They wanted to score another goal before the end of regular time!
But reality is often extremely cruel.
In the 84th minute, Enriquez was knocked head-on by Lu Yang while dribbling the ball.
The referee blew the whistle and gave Lu Yang a yellow card.
Two minutes later, Enriquez made a comeback, but this time Moric, who had been wiped out by him, immediately grabbed his jersey and followed Enriquez for three or four meters, causing Enriquez to lose his temper.
Enriquez waved his hands angrily, stopped breaking through, turned around and slapped Moric's hand away.
Moric spread his hands in a sly manner, meaning that there is nothing I can do, brother, who made you go too fast!
The referee came over again and handed out a yellow card to Moric.
The referee was also helpless.
At the last moment of the game, Italy National Team wanted to apply for yellow cards in batches to delay time. Although it was a bit despicable, it was indeed allowed within the rules.
It is even reasonable to waste time by replacing people one by one at this time.
In war, there is not only the bravery and bravery, but also the cowardice!
Only by combining odd victory with right combination, hardness and softness, can we achieve great success.
The whistle had just been blown here, and two minutes later, Italy National Team caught Spain's eagerness to attack and launched a successful counterattack.
Lu Yang received a pass from Moric in the frontcourt.
This time he used the human ball to pass the ball again, and he was so handsome.
But Spain did not let him pass on the 8th, because once Lu Yang passed, he would get a very threatening chance to hit the goal.
The No. 8 player knocked down Lu Yang with a shot from behind Slide Tackle!
Lu Yang rolled to the ground. He was not injured, but he had to admire the opponent's decisiveness.
Sure enough, at this time, no one is afraid of taking cards in order to win.
Italy can do this, and Spain can naturally do the same.
Beep!
The referee rushed over and took out a red card directly from behind. This was a dangerous move and hindered a very threatening attack.
Spain Midfielder No. 8 covered his face with a painful expression.
In fact, he knew it was bad after putting down the shovel, but he had no choice. Apart from that action, he couldn't think of any way to stop Lu Yang.
Enriquez and others rushed over and tried to get the referee to take back his life, but the referee never took back the cards he dealt out!
The referee put the red card back in his trouser pocket, um... indicating that there was no need to talk.
Lu Yang is speechless. This is the game. Even if he is not injured, the opponent will receive a red card and no one can change this.
Lu Yang walked up to Spain No. 8, patted his shoulder, and whispered to him, "You tried your best, you are very strong. I am honored to compete with you."
Spain No. 8 glanced at Lu Yang with a complicated expression, sighed and left sadly.
At this moment, the entire Spain Youth National Team completely collapsed.
Their core midfielder is gone.
In less than five minutes of the game, they had to fight with ten men.
This...
Although in the group stage, ten players from Italy faced off against England and created a miracle comeback.
But that's Italy.
The team that created the miracle is not Spain, but Italy opposite Spain at this moment.
The player who created the miracle is not Enriquez, but Lu Yang who defeated Enriquez in this game!
The third minute of stoppage time is the last minute.
Enriquez dribbles the ball and attempts consecutive passes.
He almost completed a wonderful one-three.
But in the end, the appearance of Lu Yang made him fall short.
Lu Yang successfully stole the ball and passed the football to Moric immediately.
Moric has already understood the overall situation and knows where to pass the football without looking at the frontcourt.
Bang!
A long pass.
Pompeti in the frontcourt moved at high speed and successfully got the ball.
Spain has been fighting for his life for a long time. At this moment, there is only one person behind him, and he is still quite far away from Pompeti.
Pompeti holds the ball and cuts inside, almost a single shot.
Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he was not nervous because Italy was the leading side at this time.
He has enough time to observe the opponent's goalkeeper's movements.
The Spain goalkeeper does not have this condition.
So, Pompeti raised his right foot a little, and Spain the goalkeeper got off the ground.
However, Pompeti changed the direction of the ball at this time, passed the goalkeeper, and directly pushed the ball into the empty goal!
Five to three!
Italy scores another goal!
Pompeti, kill the game!
"Pompeti! Pompeti scored! It's over! The game is over! Spain has no chance!"
"Beautiful long pass and single shot! Italy people didn't give Espanyol any chance!"
"Spain players all covered their faces in despair. Even Enriquez, who had previously had endless fighting spirit, stood still and stared blankly ahead."
"Enriquez did not lose. He was almost the second best player on the court today! But unfortunately, he encountered Lu Yang who shot three times and passed one!"
"The referee indicated that the goal was valid and blew the whistle to end the game!"
"The game is over! The game is officially over!"
"Dear audience friends, this year's European Under-21 Championship has officially come to an end. In the final championship competition, Italy miraculously defeated Spain with a score of five to three, becoming this year's new king of Europe!"
"Italy Youth National Team became the champion of this year's European Under-21 Championship! Let us congratulate them!"
"Of course, Spain also performed very well today, especially their leading player Enriquez, who scored nine goals and became the European Under-21 Championship Golden Boot this year!"
"Finally, we have to say congratulations to Lu Yang who scored a hat trick today! He also tied with Enriquez to become this year's European Under-21 Championship Golden Boot with nine goals!"
"Even if assists were also considered in the evaluation criteria of European Under-21 Championship's Golden Boot, his four assists would be one more than Enriquez's!"
"Similarly, let us also congratulate Moric, who has become the assist king of this year European Under-21 Championship with the only data of seven assists!"
"Italy Youth National Team went from not being favored at the beginning, to miraculously qualifying in the group stage, to advancing to the finals and winning the championship. They have experienced too much this year, but they survived."
"Oh, Maniero rushed into the court. He was surrounded by players, who were throwing him into the sky! He deserves such treatment. He was called in at the last moment, but he led Italy Youth National Team to new heights. He is a magical coach."
"Perhaps, if Italy does not perform well in European Championship next year, Maniero may take office and become the next coach of Italy National Team! He is by far the most popular candidate, no one!"
"Lu Yang walked to the stands... it's Sophia! Sophia has been in the stands. She was too low-key today and covered herself up so tightly that the director didn't notice her!"
"Lu Yang and Sophia hugged. Sophia kissed Lu Yang's cheek excitedly. She took out a ball of red stuff from her black luxury bag and handed it to Lu Yang. What is this?"
"It's the flag!"
"This is a Italy flag. Lu Yang put it on him. He... wait, the other side of the Italy flag is red?"
"This is not one national flag! It's two national flags sewn together! One side is the Italy flag, and the other side is the bright red Five-Star Red Flag!"
"Oh my God! Lu Yang rushed to the corner flag area wearing Five-Star Red Flag, and he shouted to the camera, 'We are the champions'!"
"We are the champions! We are the champions!"
In the China Television Sports Channel studio hall, Luo Cheng's eyes turned red and he suddenly shouted, "Champion, we are the champion! This is a championship that partly belongs to China people!"
"This is the championship brought to us by Lu Yang!"
The host next to him did not stop Luo Cheng because he was also shocked by this scene.
Champion?
This word is really unfamiliar to China football.
For a long time, what stings China fans the most is not the "championship" at all, but "qualification"!
Everyone's requirements have been lowered to this level, but what's the result?
Just don't mention it.
And now, everyone actually has the opportunity to shout out the phrase "We are the champions" with Lu Yang.
This has a huge impact on domestic fans.
Since the awards ceremony still needs to be broadcast, almost all major broadcasts are still going on.
In the camera, Lu Yang found Enriquez wearing the national flag after celebrating.
"You are a very good player. This is the first time we have played against each other, but it will definitely not be the last time we play against each other." Lu Yang extended his right hand towards Enriquez.
Enriquez held Lu Yang's hand and said, "Yes, whether it is the national team or the club, I hope to meet you again. But next time, I will definitely win!"
"We'll see!" Lu Yang then took off his jersey and exchanged it with Enriquez.
Similarly, Moric also found the No. 8 player Spain who was crying on the sidelines, and exchanged with him.
The opponent's strength and attitude earned Moric's respect.
This is not easy, after all, Momo's eyes are on the top of his head, and there are very few players that he can take notice of.
And Ceballos also found Spain's midfielder and exchanged with him.
Soon, the award podium was set up.
Spain players went up first and received the runner-up medal, but it was difficult to squeeze out a smile. Second place is actually a good result, but the cruel part is that they have to receive the award and face the media right after being defeated by others, without any buffer.
The overall good and the local bad are conflicting extremely fiercely at this moment!
Then, the Italy players stepped onto the podium and wore the championship medals.
Lu Yang was undoubtedly elected as the best player of this year European Under-21 Championship!
At the same time, he also led the best lineup of this year's European Under-21 Championship.
Enriquez Pavlovsky Mancini
Lu Yang, Moric, Melkan, Ceballos
England full-back, France central defender, Spain full-back
Areola
This best lineup fully reflects the trend of young people in today's football.
There are so many talents in the midfield and frontcourt that even the core midfielder of a championship team like Spain, No. 8 player, cannot be included in the best lineup.
However, there are not many talents in the backcourt, and the players who are reluctantly selected are not on the same level as the midfielders and frontcourts.
It can be deduced from this that in the future of world football, top backcourt players may be very scarce. The value and salary of backcourt players may be far higher than those of players of the same level in the future due to the relationship between supply and demand.
Finally, Chairman UEFA personally presented the championship trophy to Italy!
This Italy Youth National Team is very young, most of them were re-selected by Maniero, and the captain is Pirola, an old player who was not outstanding before.
But Pirola knows very well that he is not the leader of this team.
So, at the invitation of Pirola, Lu Yang and Pirola each held one side of the trophy and raised the trophy high together.
At this moment, the flash lights exploded!
Everyone believes that this will be the prelude to the rise of blue Italy!
After the awards were given, it was time for the players to interact with the trophy.
The trophy was passed around in their hands, and everyone took crazy photos and records while holding the trophy.
Especially the substitute players. Although they did not play too much, it was precisely because of this that they cherished this trophy even more, for fear that they would not leave enough scenes and would be forgotten by people.
Not everyone can have smooth sailing and be remembered by the media. For most young players, being able to appear on the European Under-21 Championship roster is already the most glorious moment in their lives.
Just like for most boys, being able to appear on the high school basketball team, no, the class team, is basically the most glorious moment of their youth.
But Italy Youth National Team's real thigh was just wearing a medal and Hongqi, silently watching the crazy celebrations of his teammates, without disturbing or robbing his teammates of their glory.
Even when the team's substitute goalkeeper was celebrating, Lu Yang noticed that there were very few media, so he took the initiative to get together with the substitute goalkeeper and motioned for the media to come and take notes.
But this "outsider" model did not last long.
Official interviews soon surrounded Lu Yang, and they had ten thousand interests in Lu Yang.
However, the first words they asked had nothing to do with the game.
Reporter: "Lu Yang, was the national flag you are approving now made by you yourself?"
Lu Yang: "No, it was Sophia who sewed it for me. I didn't have the time because I was preparing for the war. Thanks to Sophia, she was able to help me whenever I needed it. This was not easy, and she delayed a lot of her own things."
The reporter looked like MMP. Are you sure she can help you whenever you need her?
So... what about in the dead of night?
Is it also Sophia?
Should I use my hands or my mouth?
Reporter: "You are now a player of Italy Youth National Team. Wouldn't it be bad if you wear Five-Star Red Flag?"
Lu Yang: "But this is my hometown. This is a fact that no one can deny, right? I fought for Italy in the international arena and won honors. But at the same time, my personal existence and brilliance are also part of the China football honor. This is what I will stick to in the past, present and future!"
Reporter: "Italy is an inclusive country, and I don't think the fans will let you down. But are you sure your actions can be understood by China fans?"
Lu Yang: "Of course! I know that many people in China are paying attention to me and supporting me. Due to various reasons, it is a pity that I cannot play for China, but what I want to say is that from now on, all the honors and brilliance I receive in the international arena will also belong to China fans!"
"I am not China football, but I hope that I can represent China football and make our own voice in the center of world football! In the future, I hope that China fans can also have a sense of participation in the highest level competitions in world football!"
"This is of positive significance to China football, Europe football, and World Soccer!"
Reporter: "These are very sincere words. I hope you can be understood by both parties. So what is your evaluation of the Spain players in this game?"
Lu Yang: "Spain Youth National Team is very strong. Their control of the ball kept us busy most of the time. Their No. 8 player's control of the midfield is not inferior to Moric, the best young midfielder in my opinion."
"Enriquez is one of the strongest players of his age that I have ever encountered. He once made us doubt ourselves today. He is destined to become a superstar in the future."
Reporter: "Then who do you think is better, Enriquez or Mancini? Now all the media are having endless discussions about which of the two is the number one young star."
Lu Yang: "Really? Then this issue actually does not need to be discussed in the future."
Reporter: "Watt? Do you already have the answer?"
Lu Yang patted his chest and said, "Of course! Both of them are indeed excellent, but it is meaningless to distinguish between them. Because I defeated both of them at this European Under-21 Championship, I should be the best young star on the planet!"
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he smiled at the camera, confident and sunny.
But the reporters nearby were completely confused.
Because they were awakened by Lu Yang, they discovered a super blind spot!
That is... the little-known Italy youngster Lu Yang, indeed defeated the two best young stars in the world at this European Under-21 Championship!
No, not just to suppress them, but to eliminate and defeat them with your own feet!
You want to say that Lu Yang is arrogant, boastful, and putting money in his own face?
Nine goals and four assists!
European Under-21 Championship best player!
European Under-21 Championship golden boots!
European Under-21 Championship is the second assist king!
Just ask why you are not worthy?
Okay, but if you want to say that Lu Yang, Mancini, and Enriquez are players in the same league, this is really hard to accept.
After all, he has been playing in the top league for at least two years, so his reputation is not something he just blows off.
No matter how good Salah Kane is, if they want to compete with Messi-Ronaldo, they have to stay at their peak for six or seven years before they have a chance.
No matter how strong Lu Yang is now, without a long period of highlight, it is still not enough to compete with the two of them.
Not to mention compared with these two, even compared with Pavlovsky, Melkan and others who are slightly below, Lu Yang is far behind in terms of credibility and popularity.
But no matter what... the reporters had ten thousand words of rebuttal, but they were all stuck in their throats.
After all, the championship medal around his neck and the European Under-21 Championship best player trophy in his hand are all so dazzling!
Traveling to another city to attend a college friend's wedding is tiring but worth it!
