As soon as the second half of the game started, the short Kente noticed something was wrong.
Because the 1.85 meter guy opposite him actually got physical with him!
Whether with or without the ball, Lu Yang is looking for Kente to line up and try to make physical contact.
Kente began to intentionally avoid Lu Yang.
But Moric always runs in the area where Lu Yang is. Kente can't help but want to run into Lu Yang.
On the other side, Lu Yang actually felt a little emotional.
This little man's physical resistance is actually very strong!
Both are the essence of human height.
The 1.74 meter Moric Lu Yang can easily knock it over.
But this Kente, which is 1.68 meters tall, is as hard as a small soybean, wow!
This familiar process is not a good experience for both parties.
Kente and Lu Yang are both very uncomfortable.
Bang!
There was another physical contact, but Kente suddenly turned and changed direction, using Lu Yang as the axis, and slipped away from Lu Yang.
Because of the blind spot in the field of vision caused by Lu Yang's body, Moric was not fully prepared, so when he saw Kente rushing over, his reaction was already a step slower.
Bang!
Kente made a frontal shovel and successfully shoveled the football away from Moric's feet, and immediately got up and dribbled the ball forward.
Moric made a serious mistake!
Lu Yang quickly retreated and cut off Kente's passing route.
Kente himself is not terrible with the ball, his passing is beyond words.
Boe ran in time at this time, trying to meet Kente, or to get the ball and launch an attack.
But Lu Yang stuck Boe, allowing Boe to experience the joy of Kente.
Nice The other players ran around one after another, all of them extremely excited, fearing that their positions were not good enough and Kente the pass would not be in place.
If you want to receive the pass from Kente, it is best if there are no defensive players within ten meters of you, otherwise Kente is likely to pass the football directly to the opponent's feet.
Just like this, Kente, chased by Moric and blocked by Lu Yang, dribbled the ball all the way to the offensive third zone and appeared outside the left penalty area of San Remo.
This is a very good crossing opportunity.
Kente's professionalism told him that he should have made the pass.
His teammates also swarmed into the San Remo penalty area, preparing to header the ball.
Bang!
Kente kicks off.
No one can hinder him.
Although he is not a left-footed player, his left foot is not weak either. His left-footed crosses without defense are still accurate...
Within the restricted area.
Areola stares at the football in mid-air, ready to strike and knock it away at any time.
A goalkeeper who is confident in his height, jumping and placement judgment will be able to perform this kind of dominant clearance.
However, at the next moment, Areola quickly moved to the goal line, swooped down, and shot the football out.
But there was no excitement on his face. Instead, he pursed his lips and looked at Kente, who was passing the ball, somewhat speechlessly.
He was one step late.
He fished the football out of mid-air!
The football passed the goal line by nearly half a meter. This was an undisputed goal.
Sure enough!
The referee blows the whistle to indicate that the goal is valid.
But both the Nice fans and the on-site commentators were in a daze.
The camera locked on the goal scorer Kente. The little black man himself looked confused, and then a shy smile appeared on his face.
Lu Yang and Moric looked at each other twice, and they both had a "Japanese Tesco" expression.
Is this okay?
This is obviously a cross ball, but a short guy can actually kick it to such an extent?
This is no one else!
You shouldn't be called Kente, you should be called Sane!
After more than ten seconds, the commentator finally reacted. "Wow! Kente scored a goal! This is a very weird goal, because if our judgment is correct, this should be a pass."
"Kente himself is very embarrassed. He didn't celebrate. He doesn't know whether he should wave to his teammates and say sorry, or whether his teammates should give him a thumbs up."
"San Remo It's a bit unfair to lose the ball."
"If I have to say that someone failed to do a good job, maybe he chose to cut off the passing route between Kente and Boe, and did not press Kente's kick at the first time. Lu Yang has a certain responsibility."
"Of course, the portion of the pot is very reluctant."
Nice players then celebrated not too enthusiastically.
No one would be embarrassed to celebrate this kind of goal too much, after all, everyone has a sense of shame.
And Moric walked towards Lu Yang, his eyes full of doubt. "Are you sure the method you mentioned is effective? If this guy scores another goal, it may be really difficult for us to win this game."
Lu Yang said speechlessly, "How lucky do you think he was in scoring this goal? I think the full score is the same as his luck in scoring this goal. This is too outrageous, outrageous enough to prove my previous judgment, right?"
Moric also felt very embarrassed and nodded. "Okay, then I will hand him over to you."
The game starts again.
The leading Nice did not show more confidence on the offensive end.
Tell the truth.
Kente's goal made the whole Nice very embarrassed.
This kind of rumored goal makes it easier for people to think that Nice is a rookie with a lot of luck.
They even dared not face the eyes of San Remo players.
San Remo player: Come on, if you have the ability to shoot, your shooting is not as threatening to the goal as passing the ball!
Nice player: Brother, if I don't shoot, don't mock us, okay?
For a time, San Remo, who had been given a "lucky ball", performed even stronger.
Team momentum is a very mysterious thing.
Sometimes they are obviously the weaker side, but their momentum always makes people feel that they will win and score goals.
Lu Yang advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt with the ball. He took the initiative to find Kente and used a Dribbling Trap.
However, Kente actually saw through Lu Yang's trap very insidiously, and used it to create a defensive trap.
Kente calculated mentally but not intentionally, and continuously faked moves to grab, retreat, and grab.
He actually took the football away from Lu Yang.
But Lu Yang is not someone who has never lost the ball.
Boss Mei loses the ball more than 20 times a game. Since Lu Yang has moved forward, it is common for him to lose the ball.
Lu Yang's strength is not that he doesn't lose the ball, but that he is very good at counterattacking after losing the ball. Don't forget his running ability and defensive ability.
Lu Yang chased Kente all the way, but kept a certain distance.
Most people can't understand Lu Yang's intention, but Kente is already sweating on his head.
Too strong!
Kente kept sighing in his heart, Lu Yang is simply an octagonal spider!
Completely covering all his ball routes!
All!
Kente dribbles the ball beyond the sideline because the defensive pressure on the sideline is much less.
Dribbling the ball in the middle will be subject to defensive pressure from many aspects.
Normal midfielders can actually handle this kind of pressure.
But Kente does not have it.
It's not that his vision is poor and he has no time to take care of enemies from many aspects.
It's that his passing ability is too poor. If he doesn't adjust his passing ability, it will be even weaker. When he is attacked from the front and back, he can't play the ball at all.
Everyone saw the previous goal, and it was still his adjusted cross without anyone defending him.
If this is not adjusted, it will be really difficult to predict where football will go.
When you are closer to the sideline, you only need to deal with the defender on one side, which makes it much easier.
But Kente didn't expect that the appearance of Lu Yang would turn his right choice of staying close to the sideline into a dead end.
"Pass the ball, Kente!"
"Eng! This way!"
"Middle, there's someone in the middle!"
"I'm behind you, Kente!"
"Straight through, straight from the front!"
Teammates around Kente shouted various things to him through Lu Yang.
But Engels could only dribble the ball with his head down, not passing it at all.
He didn't even look up at his teammates.
Kente's teammates can't understand Kente's behavior at all, because in their opinion, there is only one Lu Yang following Kente, why doesn't Kente pass?
Can one player kill another player?
Anyone who has played football knows that this is almost impossible!
But...
Kente's teammates have no idea what Kente is going through at this moment.
There is a ball route in front, a good opportunity, etc... Lu Yang is preparing to accelerate, he sees the open space! Now the probability of being intercepted by him when passing the ball is as high as over 90%!
What about the pass from the middle? My teammate is in a good position... No, no, no, this is passing the ball to Lu Yang. He just ran and stretched my lateral distance by one meter. Did he see his side and behind?
The back, the back should be... No! Lu Yang's emergency stop and start ability is better than mine. The few speed changes just now didn't get past him at all, and my pass couldn't go out!
Kente was sweating on his forehead anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.
Because he knows that Lu Yang, like him and Moric, is a player with extremely talented vision!
This is the sense of identity among geniuses.
Excellent offensive players need to possess a variety of qualities, but one quality is particularly outstanding. They can be very strong even if other qualities are missing, such as players like Baizami.
But defensive players are different. Defensive players have a rigid indicator.
It's not height and weight, nor frontal tackling ability, but... vision!
Top defensive players are definitely great visionaries!
This probability is easier than finding a vision expert among top midfielders, because some top midfielders do not have good vision.
Therefore, all the ball routes that Kente saw, Lu Yang could also see, and he practiced "defensive coverage" of Kente!
Of course, this is also related to Kente's own poor personal passing ability.
For Kente, it is extremely difficult to pass a ball over ten meters. If it is over twenty meters, it is not within his "accurate passing" range. Even if it is passed out, the deviation will be huge.
Therefore, the range of passing options for Kente is extremely small.
If it is Moric, even if he is so enveloped by Lu Yang, he can easily pass the football out, even without hindering the team's offensive momentum.
Because the passing radius of Moric is more than 30 meters long, if the position is suitable, it can basically cover the entire stadium without blind spots.
But all Kente experienced was only him, Lu Yang, and Moric who was hanging around to make up for some defensive holes that Lu Yang couldn't control.
Two vision masters teamed up to block another vision master.
At this moment, Kente Ningyuan himself did not steal the ball from Lu Yang.
Football is a hot potato right now.
Bang!
Finally, while Kente was hesitating, Lu Yang released the shovel!
Kente's dribbling is also not outstanding.
A clean tackle to save the ball!
Not only did he complete the steal, but he also allowed Lu Yang to gain control of the football in the first place.
Bang!
Lu Yang He stood up and raised his feet almost at the same time.
The football flew towards the Nice backcourt instantly like a cannonball.
Totti's spoon pass!
Nice is fighting back. In order to respond to Kente, the teammates in the backcourt are rushing forward, and some are coming towards Lu Yang and Kente.
As a result, a huge loophole was exposed this time.
Soguer has good habits and was not in the offside area. After Lu Yang passed the ball, his speed increased instantly.
He is also tall, but he is more or less faster than Nice's center back.
A center like Soguer actually relies on his speed to defeat his opponents and hold the ball alone.
This was simply a textbook counterattack.
Soguer controlled the football three meters outside the penalty area and continued to dribble for two steps.
Nice The goalkeeper didn't have the confidence to attack before, but now it seems too late to attack. Looking forward and backward, it is impossible to prevent Soguer's high-precision push shot.
One to one!
San Remo completed the chase within five minutes after losing the ball and equalized the score!
"GOAL! Soguer scored a single goal! He scored the first goal for San Remo that belongs to this team's Europa League journey. This will always be recorded in the history of San Remo!"
"Lu Yang's pass was so wonderful. The position put the Nice goalkeeper in a dilemma. You can hardly believe that it was his quick pass! At this moment, Lu Yang Moric is possessed!"
"Of course, the most exciting part of this ball actually happened before Lu Yang passed the ball!"
"After Lu Yang was intercepted by Kente, he chased back without giving up. Not only did he regain the ball, he also completed an assist! This spirit is the most important reason why San Remo Miracle is able to get to where he is today!"
The fans of the team who went from San Remo to Nice to watch the game started celebrating wildly!
There were not many of them, but they celebrated louder than the Nice fans a few minutes ago.
At this time, Nice fans regretted it. If they had known this, why did they do it in the first place?
Five minutes ago, they should have been celebrating.
Damn it!
So what if a goal is passed?
A goal is a goal!
It's all Kente's fault. You're actually celebrating when you score a goal!
Why do you look so embarrassed?
Look at Emperor Lin, no matter how he scores the goal, he just has one word, Hi!
If you were like this, would we be so passive now?
The fans secretly cursed Kente.
At the same time, several players from the Nice team also ran towards Kente.
"Man? What's going on with you? Are you too lonely?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Can you pass the ball?"
"What the hell are you going to do? Can you play football all by yourself?"
"Kente, your handling of this ball is really bad!"
"Brother, do you know if our zero seal award is gone?"
A lot of people accused Kente, and even Kente's good friend Boe chose to remain silent at this time.
Lu Yang looked on with cold eyes, feeling really sorry for Kente.
This is the biggest tragedy for team players and organizational defensive players.
Their value is not realized by the team or teammates.
The current situation of Kente is not an exception, but a common situation.
Back then, Real Madrid provided more than five superstars in the team with annual salary contracts of more than 6 million euros.
And their defense hub Makelele's annual salary is only 1.2 million euros.
Later, Makelele asked for a salary increase, but Real Madrid refused. After Makelele left, the first phase of Galacticos collapsed instantly!
This is a true portrayal of non-star players on defense.
Kente is not a good passer and average dribbler, which makes him very average among midfielders who like to judge their skills based on their skills. Neither he nor his teammates think he is an excellent midfielder.
At the same time, although Kente's personal defensive data is excellent, it does not reach the level of Tihua Show.
The reason is that he sacrificed some "personal performances" in order to make the team's defensive system more efficient and stable.
In fact, just like Lu Yang, when in the backcourt, in order to keep the defensive players in check, he attacks more. When in the frontcourt, in order to prevent the opponent from passing through and creating threats as much as possible, he takes up position to play support, and forces the opponent into the defense range of his teammates, allowing his teammates to take action to deal with the opponent.
In this way, the data of this defensive core is actually shared.
And... if teammates are not up to a sufficient level, they may even think that their defensive strength is good, and they do not know that it is actually the person beside them who creates such a good steal opportunity.
People can only see what they know.
When you don't have this concept in your mind, you can never become Bergkamp.
When you don't have the concept of a midfield lob in your mind, you won't know how to try a long-range lob even if the opponent's goalkeeper walks outside the penalty area.
When there is no player in your mind who can perform at a high level over the age of 33, you will easily let go of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.
When you don't have top-level vision and sensitivity to open positions in your mind, you will never see the value of Kente.
"I admit that your method is right." Moric, who also witnessed all this, had mixed feelings in his heart.
A commander-in-chief who forced such an excellent future "No. 1 Middle School" player to look like that was actually scolded like a dog by a group of teammates.
The key is that Kente himself has a very honest and conscientious character. Although he felt wronged, he never argued with his teammates. He just nodded silently and expressed his apology.
Such behavior is very sad and does not bring about the so-called respect.
"If your plan succeeds, Nice's results this season will not be very good, because they don't know who their real defensive boss is!" Moric was very angry.
He empathizes with Kente's experience, because the organizational midfielder has been underestimated in the past and has not received the respect it deserves.
Soon, the game started again.
Nice players learned their shame and became brave again, wanting to take the lead again.
Because they are the only Top Five Leagues team among Europa League Group C.
Forget about Russian Premier League and Belgian Pro League, how dare Serie B come forward?
However, under the connection of Moric, Nice's steal efficiency was not high, and they failed to organize the operation of San Remo's midfield.
The first reason is that their personal defensive capabilities are not as strong as they think.
Without Kente to organize the defense and guide both sides, Nice's midfield players' pressing was full of loopholes.
The second thing is... why is there no Kente organized defense?
Because this time, although the person in charge of connecting San Remo is Moric, the person in charge of connecting with Kente has become Lu Yang.
Moric passed the ball to Lu Yang, and Lu Yang took the initiative to look for Kente after holding the ball.
After Kente takes charge of Lu Yang, the rest of the defensive players naturally have to evacuate a little and take charge of Moric, which Kente should have been responsible for.
But Nice, except Kente, no one can freeze Moric, and Moric regains its vitality.
Lu Yang's dribbling and ball control skills may be lower than Moric's, but... his physical strength, resistance, height, and weight are much better than Moric's.
And these are the only things that Kente cannot make up for by relying on vision, anticipation, rushing, and impact.
After a half-time contest, Lu Yang can guarantee that Kente cannot guard against a player of his "iron tower" type.
To put it harshly, no matter how good the perimeter defender is, he can't prevent a big-ass back-up attack from outside the three-point line.
Lu Yang is now using a "back-up" style of ball control to compete with Kente.
Kente is retreating steadily.
Although some bruises gradually appeared on Lu Yang's body, Lu Yang had a huge advantage in the scene.
On the other hand, San Remo made a move to "short Kente" on the defensive end.
They will not press Kente, but mainly block Kente's passing route, and follow Kente roughly five meters away.
Kente Whether he wants to advance with the ball or hit the goal with a long shot, it doesn't matter, San Remo won't stop him.
As a result, the other members of Team Nice were heavily guarded by San Remo.
However, Kente, the only one who enjoys a relaxed environment, cannot help the team's offense.
His performance at this time was even worse than Manchester United's recent Sancho.
The characteristic of Sancho is that he cannot attack the opponent's defense after getting the ball. He habitually chooses to pass back. His personal dribbling speed is quite slow, making him an offensive constipation device.
But Sancho still has some basic skills in transmission and control.
But Kente is bad in every aspect.
Therefore, Nice's offense completely stagnated, and for almost ten minutes, it was unable to launch an effective attack.
This made the entire Nice team anxious to equalize the score.
For the Nice coaching staff, problems have arisen.
The person who affects the team's offense is obviously Kente. If a player with the ability to organize offense is placed in Kente's "position", Nice will definitely have scored a goal now!
The reason why this position is in quotation marks is because this position does not refer to Kente's "midfielder" position. It refers to the opportunities Kente gets on the court.
But the Nice coaching staff never thought that if it were another player, would he be able to get the same treatment as Kente?
It's like Chelsea's golden reconnaissance plane Werner is really bad at shooting. If these opportunities were replaced by other reliable strikers, they would score ten more goals than him.
But... if it were another striker, it would be impossible for him to have as many chances to threaten the goal as Werner.
Therefore, although the scoring efficiency of Werner is indeed very low, it is actually much higher than what everyone sees.
Beep!
Kente made a tactical foul, which killed San Remo's counterattack, and because his action was smart enough, he didn't even get a yellow card.
To destroy a counterattack, if you strike at the moment the opponent gets the ball, you may not get a card.
But if you make a move when the opponent has been dribbling the ball for a while and sees that this is a good opportunity to counterattack, you will get a black card.
Kente has enough football wisdom.
Kente took the initiative to reach out and pulled up Lu Yang who was knocked down by him.
Lu Yang smiled helplessly.
It's helpless because Kente is so smart. As soon as Kente hesitates, Lu Yang takes off.
And the reason for laughing is...Lu Yang saw it from the sidelines!
The next moment, the substitution board lit up on the sidelines.
Team Nice replaced Kente with a substitute midfielder.
