Perhaps many people's impression of San Remo is still in the period last season when Moric was injured and missed the game.
Due to various reasons, although San Remo had an impressive record during that period, the process was often extremely difficult. In most games, they bucked the trend and reversed the game when they were lagging behind.
But this scene suddenly disappeared at the end of the Serie C League and at the beginning of this season.
Now San Remo can always be the first to score a goal, they are the leader.
The same goes for this game.
In the 33rd minute, both sides became familiar with each other's game rhythm and began to look for ways to break the game.
Ascoli thinks simpler. They hope to rely on their No. 10 player to break the game, and their No. 10 player does have such ability.
But they misjudged Lu Yang's ability on the defensive end.
After scoring the goal, Lu Yang was not in a hurry to open the account continuously.
Scoring goals is not that difficult, but players who think about scoring goals too simply often find it difficult to score goals.
Lu Yang, the left midfielder, even transformed into a left back during this period.
To be precise, he plays like a standard wing-back. He is responsible for defense in the backcourt most of the time, and only soars to the front line when the team needs it.
On the opposite side, Canyes plays more like a true full-back, always staying near the midline and able to go up at any time.
Bang!
Lu Yang is facing Slide Tackle, stealing the football under the helpless expression of Ascoli No. 10.
Facing high-level players, it becomes increasingly difficult to steal the ball directly.
This is one of Lu Yang's most intuitive feelings in several games this season.
In addition to suddenly getting down to tackle, most of the time you can only find a way to pass the opponent's pass.
Tackles on the ground require very precise judgment.
Once you fail to tackle, it is a foul or even a yellow card.
Whether you can make bold tackles and successfully destroy the football is the obvious difference between top defenders and ordinary defenders.
Lu Yang is undoubtedly a player with the potential to be a top defender.
After receiving the ball, Lu Yang quickly plays the ball to Latuidi.
Latuidi hit the wall with his back foot. Lu Yang broke through the encirclement and easily caught the ball. He once again strode to the ball and advanced quickly.
Moric saw the position of Lu Yang and quickly ran to the left to help Lu Yang pull it.
Not long after Lu Yang passed the center circle, he split the ball with a kick and gave it to Moric on the wing.
Moric stabilized the ball slightly after stopping the ball, then made a false pass and passed the ball directly along the sideline.
Prepare to respond to the Fernandez and Moric comparison calls from Moric, and place the bottom in advance to prevent offside.
This through ball directly tore through the opponent's defense on the wing. After receiving the ball, Fernandez was unguarded on the wing. He passed the ball without pressure. The conditions were very good.
The choice of this cross is also very smart.
Everyone thought that Fernandez was looking for Soguer, but it turned out that Fernandez was looking for Lu Yang plugged in from the back.
Lu Yang jumped high, but it was far away from the goal, and there was a high school defender in front of it, so the chance of scoring directly was too small.
But how incredible is Lu Yang's vision?
He pretended to hit the goal, but he was actually a Backward Header Flick.
The football flew diagonally out of the penalty area.
There, the inserted Canyes had already completed an inside cut without the ball and let loose outside the penalty area.
Facing this half-high header pass, Canyes's right foot seemed to be summoned.
Bang!
On the right side of the penalty area, Canyes shot from the outside of the instep of his right foot.
The football drew a classic C-shaped arc, bypassing the players in the penalty area and hitting the upper right corner of the goal.
Canyes may not be able to kick this kind of ball ten times again, because the arc is too big and the landing point is too clever.
But this time, Canyes hit the target.
"World wave! Canyes contributed a super world wave! This goal is enough to compete for the best goal in the league this round Serie B!"
"Canyes scored a goal! He is like a duck in water in this 352 system! He can pass and shoot!"
"Of course, the very clever thing about this goal is Lu Yang's offensive choice! His Backward Header Flick is simply a stroke of genius!"
"Lu Ye connected, these are the two people who are farthest apart in the San Remo formation, but they jointly contributed to the goal at this moment!"
"Two to zero! San Remo has completely gained the advantage!"
Canyes rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate warmly.
This feeling of scoring a goal, for a player who was born as a right back, is really something he hasn't seen for a long time.
After coming to San Remo, Canyes felt that he was being fully released.
During the halftime break, the commentator compared the first-half statistics of the two teams.
The results show that San Remo is significantly ahead of Ascoli in all data.
This means that San Remo's lead is not a fluke.
This is related to the formation of San Remo. Their formation determines that once they take the lead, their advantage will be even greater.
But it is also related to the abnormal performance of player Ascoli No. 10.
"He was frozen by Lu Yang! He had almost no outstanding performance in the first half of the game."
"Ascoli must adjust their condition, especially their No. 10 player."
"Lu Yang's defense is very solid. His defensive intensity has even surpassed Serie B level. Many Serie B defensive experts may not be able to do better."
"Everyone has seen that 352 liberated Canyes's offense, but everyone may have overlooked that this formation also liberated Lu Yang's defense."
"In fact, because he is on the wing, Lu Yang's defense is bolder and more deterrent."
"San Remo will face their first Europa League game in the middle of next week. Their opponent is Ligue 1's strong team Nice. Whether Lu Yang can freeze Nice's offensive core Boe may be the winner of that game!"
"Okay, the second half of the game is about to begin, let's get back to the game!"
Second half.
Sixty-five minutes.
Canyes took off again, directly hitting the opponent's wing, causing Ascoli to flip over.
Ascoli has accumulated heavy troops to guard the side road where Canyes is.
Canyes passed the ball to Moric, and Moric passed the ball to Lu Yang who passed the center line.
Moric is one of the few players who can move the ball in a wide range and get the ball into position much faster than the opponent's defensive players. This is due to his special footwork.
Lu Yang After receiving the ball, the opponent was not in place yet and was still approaching him quickly.
Bang!
Lu Yang made a prompt decision and kicked Super Through Ball at a 45-degree angle on the wing.
The football went straight to the top of the penalty area.
Fernandez, who is more like a shadow striker and attacking midfielder, easily got the ball.
However, when he had space to hold the ball, he did not choose to hold the ball. Instead, he gently moved the ball with his instep and continued to distribute the ball forward.
This time, it was as smooth as chocolate.
The Soguer in the penalty area has been activated for a long time and perfectly matches the football.
Soguer's closest defensive player was two positions behind him.
Soguer single knife!
Bang!
Soguer's feet are hard enough and he can push the ball without stopping and directly challenge the goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper failed to make a move at the first opportunity, allowing the football to cross the goal line first.
Three to zero!
San Remo is becoming more and more familiar with the 352 lineup, and each of the players is beginning to feel like a fish in water.
Fernandez successfully activated his assist account during the limited game time.
And Soguer scored two goals in three games, ranking fifth on the scorer list of Serie B!
Of course, there are as many as three players with the same rank as him.
But it's still excellent.
With the increased advantage in the midfield, Soguer will have better opportunities than he did in a three-forward lineup, and he may also score more goals.
After this goal, Soto began to warm up several players.
He's going to replace someone.
At the 70th minute, Soto waved his hand and used up all three places in one go.
This style is the same as the life-threatening Magic Bird and Qi Xuanzong.
Camihon came on the field and replaced Mathias.
Baizami came on the field and replaced Fernandez.
Finally, Nagy came on the field and replaced Palacios.
Soto did not set up obstacles for Nagy, because Nagy had already been crying and kneeling in his office and saying "fuck the sow".
Soto is very atmospheric.
But if Nagy gives him another trouble in this game, he is really afraid that his blood pressure will not come down.
Fortunately, Nagy didn't have any problems in this game, and it was quite satisfactory.
Baizami was extremely active after coming on the field, and Lu Yang, who became more excited towards the end of the game, took turns attacking the opponent's right back.
In the end, Baizami successfully passed the defensive player while cutting inside and reached the penalty area.
A sweeping pass in front of the goal, full of threats.
Soguer was stuck tightly, but no one expected that a little man would break in.
Moric, who had been pretending to be dead for more than ten minutes, used the blind spot in his field of vision to avoid the defensive player, got into the penalty area, and directly grabbed the spot with one kick.
The football fell into the net without any suspense.
Moric successfully scored!
San Remo four to zero!
Ascoli failed miserably!
Fans in the stands began to leave with five minutes left in the game, expressing their despair.
San Remo once again won a victory, completing Serie B's opening three consecutive victories.
Lu Yang won the honor of the best player of the game three times in a row with one shot, one pass and many instigations.
The attack power of San Remo also shocked the entire Serie B.
Not to mention three consecutive victories, he also won three consecutive games, scoring 13 goals in three games!
With such firepower, who can stop Serie B?
<Italy Gatlin! San Remo scored 13 goals in three games, dominating Serie B, seeking defeat alone! >
<Leading the standings! When will San Remo stop its winning streak?>
<Invincible? How can such San Remo, Nice defeat them?>
<The strongest fourth-tier team! Such San Remo is not to be underestimated!>
<Nice is in danger! San Remo is about to invade!>
<Three consecutive MVPs! What can we do against such Lu!>
San Remo has won three consecutive games. The most excited people are not the San Remo local media, but... the France Nice football media not far next door.
Looking at their titles, San Remo media might even think they are local newspapers.
Is this... so flattering to San Remo?
Isn't it necessary?
A Europa League Cup group match, or the first one, is this going to be a public opinion tactic?
Nice The attitude of the media is really confusing to many people.
But in fact, if you understand the relationship between Nice and San Remo, you will know why they say this.
Nice is the second largest tourist city in France, second only to Paris. There are more than four million tourists visiting their urban area every year.
But under this background, their local people prefer to travel to the surrounding areas after leisure.
It is said that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. What do Nice locals not know about Nice? They want to relax, and most people will choose San Remo next door to Italy.
Therefore, Nice locals are simply too familiar with San Remo.
In addition, Ligue 1 or the entire France has a strategy of bringing in black people. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, this approach will be resisted by the locals to a certain extent.
Most of the players on the Nice team are black players.
Although they are excellent, they have also squeezed out the promotion opportunities of many white players in local youth training, which makes the local people's feelings towards the Nice team even more complicated.
They support Nice, but they do not support all members of Nice. Even Nice's most shining star at present, Hashim Boe, is treated harshly by them because of his skin color.
Therefore, on the one hand, they hope that Nice can achieve good results, but on the other hand, they do not want Nice's black players to be too prominent.
So they would rather go far to praise a San Remo team, praise Italy people, praise Chinese Americans... anyone is fine, as long as they are not black.
This angered the team's supernova Boe.
"They are a bunch of idiots! I really can't stand this city anymore!" Boe complained to his friend Enge Kente, a player with the same skin color on the team, "I will leave here! This is my last season here!"
Kente is not surprised, because he also suffered the same treatment as Boe, or even worse.
After all, Boe is a supernova, while Kente is just an ordinary midfielder.
He was only 1.68 meters tall, which made him almost insulated from football.
The reason why he was left behind by Nice in the end was just because he was very willing to run.
The importance of running is not directly reflected in the top leagues from the beginning.
On the contrary, in many lower-level leagues, running can often change the situation of the game.
Although Ligue 1 is also one of Top Five Leagues, like Bundesliga, except for a very small number of teams, the level of most of the other teams has not reached the top league level.
Missed by half a line.
There are also many young people in these two leagues, and the competition environment is very suitable for talented players to shine.
"Then you have to make good use of this season, perform well, and let more teams pay transfer fees for you." Kente pursed his lips. In fact, he also wanted to leave here, really.
"Already have it!" Boe smiled and whispered, "Lyon contacted me this summer."
Kente looks shocked!
Ligue 1 Lyon, one of the two super wealthy families?
Just like Bayern Munich has unparalleled dominance in Bundesliga, on Ligue 1's side, Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon are two well-deserved class leaders, one step above other teams, and can be called a French Super League team!
Marseille, Monaco, Lille, etc. could only threaten them for a very short period of time, but they had never overturned these two mountains.
Ligue 1 The only two Champions League qualifications every year are almost all occupied by them.
"Then why don't you go this season?" Kente was puzzled.
Boe's smile froze and he didn't explain too much.
Of course, it's because this year's European Under-21 Championship and France Youth National Team didn't perform well, so Lyon hesitated and planned to inspect Boe for a while.
This is also the reason why Boe angrily criticized Italy National Team after European Under-21 Championship.
Because he received a notice from his agent at that time, saying that he could not go to Lyon for the time being.
Damn it!
And the most outrageous thing is that Lyon reportedly wants to inspect Moric and Lu Yang of Italy.
These are two midfielders!
Who do you think this is an insult to temporarily giving up signing a striker because of the investigation of two midfielders?
Nice VS San Remo's Europa League group stage was quickly put on the schedule.
September 18th.
Allianz Riviera Stadium.
Nice vs. San Remo.
In this game, both sides have a 433 formation.
San Remo adopts a classic combination for the first time.
Baizami, Soguer, Fernandez
Lu Yang, Moric
Latuidi
Camihon, Bernulini, Palacios, Canyes
Areola
As soon as the game started, Nice showed the characteristics of the Ligue 1 team.
Big move!
Different from Premier League's fast pace which leads to fierce confrontation, the Ligue 1 team simply makes big moves, which can also be understood as dirty.
Thinking about Xixi's game at Ligue 1, it was extremely difficult to fall to the ground because the opponent not only had to drag you down but also pull you up again. This one-stop service was simply overwhelming.
In this situation, Lu Yang also hits the front midfielder and directly returns to the back midfielder position. He and Latuidi first stabilize the situation.
In the rear area, Lu Yang saw the situation more clearly.
He soon discovered that today's battle was a tough one!
"Oops, we lost the ball again! Moric is in a very bad state today. So far, he has not completed the task of stabilizing the midfield. San Remo's football is difficult to reach the frontcourt." The commentator kept talking.
His description was correct, but his reasoning was wrong.
San Remo couldn't start the offense today, not because Moric was in bad shape.
But because... there is a person over there at Nice who is destroying the field control ecosystem established by Moric.
The connection of a core player can make the team's conduction orderly.
This places high demands on the core players. He must determine his ball release point in an instant and analyze the quality of the receiving environment at the ball release point. Otherwise, if the football is passed out, it will not be passed back.
However, today, there was a short man over Nice who was shorter than Moric, which really disrupted Moric's arrangement.
The short guy is not slow, and his running coverage is very large. Almost every time Moric plays the ball, the short guy is an interference factor.
Moreover, one second he was interfering with Moric, and the next second he was interfering with another player.
The key is that this little guy has a bright head.
I'm not mocking him for being bald, but saying that he has great court intelligence.
Moric is good at thinking about the player receiving the ball, and this little guy is also very good at it.
This makes every pass Moric very tiring, because you only had to think about two moves before, but now you have to think about three moves, or even five moves!
In just over ten minutes, Moric felt like her hair was falling out.
No wonder that little guy has no hair, he is definitely overusing his brain.
"Aren't you tired?" Moric asked the short Engel Kente next to him after a return pass, "Your running distance is probably the highest in the game now! Our team Lu Yang is not as willing to run as you are!"
The little man smiled slightly, showing his white teeth. "If the moon doesn't sleep, I won't be tired. I'm a bald baby!"
Moric A mouthful of old blood spurted out.
666!
Co-written with you, you are still a rapper, freestyle is here, beautiful single pressure!
Because of the presence of Kente, both sides' offense in the first half was a mess.
Isn't it a bit strange?
It's understandable that San Remo didn't hit the ball offensively, because Kente froze Moric's passing and control in a way that goes hand in hand with football.
But what about Nice?
Also because of Kente, the offense is not smooth.
"Kente intercepted the ball, beautiful! Kente passed the ball, alas... it was not passed well again!"
This is what the commentators said the most in the first half.
Kente plays a great role on the defensive end, but he does not have the ability to release the ball immediately after stealing the ball.
His long pass was very bad, which made Boe in the frontcourt furious.
As long as it is reliable, Boe can at least give you two more chances to stand alone.
Of course, this is just what Boe thinks. He feels that his speed can eat San Remo's aging central defenders alive.
But even if Bernulini is not fast, its predictive defense is still very powerful, but it is just not used now.
On Nice's side, after Kente missed a few passes, he was criticized by his teammates. His face turned red and he no longer dared to pass the ball.
Every time after stealing the ball, Kente can only hand it to the nearest teammate immediately.
This caused his interception ball to lose its reverse polarity.
The first half of the two sides ended in a dull score of 0-0.
After returning to the locker room, Moric was the first to find Lu Yang, and said depressedly, "Can no one control that little guy? I can't control the field without him!"
Lu Yang almost stopped laughing.
Moric It's finally time to call others short.
No wonder he played like shit in the first half, but he wasn't particularly angry. It turned out that he found satisfaction here.
"He is a very special kind of defensive player. He is very smart and has a very high football IQ!" Lu Yang and Moric discussed seriously. "From a defensive perspective alone, he is an enhanced version of me!"
"He has the same coverage as I do, covering the entire stadium."
"And he's also very willing to run, he's always chasing the football, he's just a free man."
"His front-on steal ability is very strong, and his shots are very accurate. Basically, his shots are to steal the ball. Baizami, Fernandez, including you, it will be difficult for you to pass him head-on."
"But what really made him freeze our offense... was his interception ability!"
Both Moric and Lu Yang know this.
Kente does not often intercept the ball from Moric, but when the person who receives the pass from Moric throws the ball, there is a high probability that it will be intercepted by Kente.
Even in many cases, Kente will cleverly use his teammates to restrict the ball player.
Short people are generally defensive holes. This is the inertial thinking in football.
But this short man is probably defining a new concept of defensive powerhouse.
But also because a player like him has never appeared before, so... Nice's teammates don't seem to attach much importance to this little guy.
At least, when Kente missed the pass in the first half, almost everyone was scolding him.
His status in the team is not high.
Unlike Lu Yang, who can devote himself wholeheartedly but also demands absolute control and respect, perhaps due to personal experience, Kente only knows how to give everything in a low-key manner, but never explains or asks for anything.
Because for many black boys who were once poor, if they can have enough food and clothing, they should not ask for anything more!
They don't know that blindly showing kindness and giving will sometimes lose value.
"How about we try this?" Lu Yang expressed his thoughts.
Moric was skeptical, but felt it was indeed worth a try.
This method may be a bit... too underhanded.
This might be a huge injury to that little man.
This kind of method appears more often on the basketball court.
But on the football field... it really... hurts other people's pride!
