" Sampdoria's defense had problems; they missed two goals from Baizami and Lu Yang San Remo, both of which were scored by beating the offside trap."
" Sampdoria is in trouble now, because although both of them have players missing, Baizami and Lu Yang have completely different styles."
"Yes, Baizami relies on his speed to create one-on-one opportunities, and a defender with good anticipation might be able to handle him. But Lu Yang's positioning is very unpredictable; nobody knows when he'll get into the penalty area."
" Lu Yang has a very keen sense of goal-scoring; it might just be a striker's intuition. And I feel like he's faster and more agile inside the penalty area, though I don't know if it's just my imagination."
During halftime, Luo Cheng, the domestic commentator broadcasting the match, was analyzing the first half's situation with the host.
"Of course, we must also recognize that the two one-on-one goals were largely due to the exquisite passes from Lu Yang and Moric. Apart from that, San Remo's attack today wasn't actually very good," Luo Cheng said. "Especially Canyes, one of San Remo's attacking engines, was clearly not in good form today."
Luo Cheng saw the problem.
The reason for this lies in the fact that Quagliarella Farella, who was cuddling with Canyes today, is too experienced.
His movement on the defensive end tormented Canyes.
Instead of directly attacking Palacios, he lingered in the shadow striker position, wearing down Canyes while also drawing Palacios and Lam's attention.
Perotti's earlier goal was also related to Farella's positioning.
Of course, Perotti's subsequent humiliation at the hands of Lu Yang was also partly due to Farella's absence from the center forward position.
It can be said that Perotti is the core of Sampdoria's attack.
But the one who truly controlled the offensive rhythm and distribution was the veteran center Farella.
As the saying goes, "old age brings wisdom," and at the age of thirty-four, Farella's experience is truly abundant. He knows exactly how to influence the course of the game.
He must have done in-depth research on the butterfly effect, and his Go skills must be quite good, because he can see several moves ahead in the game.
It's a bit of a waste for a player like him to play center forward; if he played midfield, he might have had the potential to become a master.
Unfortunately, he lacks the technical skills required of a midfielder, and besides, who can play as a striker but would choose to play as a midfielder?
The second half of the game began soon after.
Bang!
Not long after, Farella positioned himself on the flank, pressing Canyes and preparing to shoot.
Canyes fought desperately against Farella, but Farella ultimately just passed the ball behind Canyes.
A huge open space!
Sampdoria's left-back immediately delivered a brilliant cross.
Farella rushed forward, drawing fire.
The ball landed towards the far post area, but luckily Lam came back and headed it away, otherwise Sampdoria players would have had a chance to score.
Lu Yang glanced at Farella; this old man had bullied Canyes terribly.
They're not even in the same league.
No wonder he can still be a regular member of the Italy National Team at the age of 34.
In Lu Yang's opinion, if it had been Farella instead of Ancarelli in the last few qualifying matches, Italy might not have ended up having to play in the playoffs.
It's not that Farella is better than Ancarelli; Farella's rating is probably much lower than Ancarelli's.
Rather, it was Farella's control of the situation that made him far superior to Ancarelli, who was eager to prove himself.
He knows how to seize opportunities; he's a dangerous person.
In the 60th minute, Soto made a substitution.
Versace replaced Fernandez and moved to the midfield position.
Lu Yang, who was in midfield, moved up to the right winger position.
Soto clearly felt it wasn't safe, so he substituted Versace.
Although Versace's defensive ability is weaker than Lu Yang's, and he may not be able to completely stop Perotti, Lu Yang's move to the right wing will allow him to better limit Farella.
Don't let Lu Yang Lu Yang's position as a right winger fool you; if he moves back a little, he becomes a right midfielder.
It's not uncommon for 433 to instantly become 442.
If Lu Yang is in a good mood, he can even switch positions with Canyes temporarily. Canyes can fly up and Lu Yang can sit at right back, and they'll be just as stable!
The right flank corridor is entirely up to Lu Yang to decide how to play.
As expected.
Lu Yang, playing on the right wing, didn't initially participate in the defensive work. Instead, he immediately started acting as a disruptor in the attacking third, initiating a full-field pressing tactic!
Soguer, Baizami, and Moric were all willing to cooperate with Lu Yang, which made it difficult for Sampdoria's football to move from the backfield to the midfield.
San Remo often practices this high-pressing tactic in their 3-5-2 formation against weaker teams in the league.
Although the 3-5-2 formation mainly focuses on packing players in the middle to control the ball, they often launch a pressing attack immediately after losing possession in order to mitigate the defensive weaknesses of a three-man backline.
Those who coerce and seize power are often people like Moric, Soguer, Baizami, and Lu Yang.
So San Remo's Frontcourt Pressing is actually quite effective.
San Remo quickly gained possession of the ball.
Soguer attempted a combination play with Baizami, who had cut inside, just outside the penalty area.
But Baizami overran the ball, and it was picked up by the opposing defender.
The opposing defender passed the ball to the midfielder who had come back to receive it, but Lu Yang suddenly accelerated, arriving first despite being behind, and intercepted the pass.
Intercept in the attacking third!
Bang!
Without a second thought, Lu Yang intercepted the ball and immediately played a through pass.
With the Counterattack Master buff, his thinking was exceptionally clear!
Soguer stood still, unable to make a save, but Baizami on the left had just returned to an offside position and was unmarked!
He received the ball, took a step to adjust, and then shot.
Got it!
A second bloom!
Three to one!
San Remo extended their lead.
Against Sampdoria, they seized three unconventional attacking opportunities and efficiently secured three points!
At this moment, all the San Remo fans were excited.
A victory as a Christmas present for the team couldn't be better.
San Remo's mid-season championship is firmly in their grasp, and they have widened the gap with second-placed Sampdoria by three points!
However, starting from the 75th minute, Quagliarra Farella, the veteran, was immortal; Quagliarra had descended like a god!
Two goals in six minutes, Farella forcefully equalized the score.
Three to three!
Canyes was completely outmatched.
He was never a defensive stalwart, lacked physical strength, and was inexperienced in dealing with seasoned veterans, so his performance today was disastrous.
In the 81st minute, Soto had to make a substitution, replacing the dazed Canyes with Mathias.
This was the first time Canyes had looked so disheveled since arriving in San Remo.
In the 86th minute, Sampdoria launched an incredibly aggressive high press in their attacking third.
Their enthusiasm has already taken hold.
Although the Sampdoria people knew there were risks involved, they had to take the gamble.
A draw wouldn't mean much to them in this match.
Because the gap between San Remo and Sampdoria in the standings is more than ten points.
They must win to narrow the gap to within ten points, thus leaving enough room for imagination in the second half of the season.
Otherwise... this is truly despairing.
At least for now, none of the top five teams in the Serie B standings have given up on their pursuit of San Remo.
If they give up, it means that the promotion spots they have to compete for have been reduced from three to two.
At that time, the competition will be even more brutal.
In the 88th minute, San Remo's ball never crossed the midfield line, and the danger remained.
Bernulini received Versace's pass back, and with a quick glance, he indeed saw an opportunity.
Bang!
Bernulini launched an attack directly from the backfield with a long pass.
He has that ability.
On the right flank of the attacking third, Lu Yang suddenly accelerated, shaking off his defender and receiving the ball near the right byline.
Sampdoria's out-of-position left-back charged forward again.
Lu Yang controlled the ball with his right foot and moved it to the left, attempting to head-on with the left-back.
A defender who charges too aggressively can easily be beaten like this.
However, Sampdoria's left-back was clever enough to brake suddenly, spreading his right foot out to increase the defensive area.
If Lu Yang wanted to dribble the ball from the byline to the edge of the penalty area to create a shooting angle, the ball would most likely be intercepted.
However, Lu Yang made a second touch on the ball with his right foot in the air, a perfect right-footed Flip Flap!
They followed the baseline and drove straight into the penalty area.
At this moment, Lu Yang flicked the ball to the right, creating a shooting angle.
An angle of less than fifteen degrees is practically nonexistent.
But Lu Yang didn't hesitate at all!
Bang!
Shoot the door with your right foot.
Logically speaking, shooting with the left foot from the right side of the penalty area, near the byline, would create a much wider angle and make it easier for the ball to go through the goal.
But Lu Yang did the opposite, hitting the door with his right foot.
This is because only in this way can a shot be made at the "near angle" in a narrow space, that is, the position between the left side of the goalkeeper and the goalpost.
This may seem like an unreasonable choice, but in reality... most top shooters, in this situation, would shoot from a closer angle, which is more difficult and has a smaller angle.
Bale's Outside Overtake and Salah's goal from a tight angle in Liverpool's recent 5-0 victory are strikingly similar.
This is the confidence of a top shooter.
For them, even with the smallest angle and limited space, scoring is still easier than shooting directly at the goalkeeper's primary defensive positions or the far corner.
Bang!
The Sampdoria goalkeeper touched the ball, but did not change its trajectory.
The football grazed the goalpost and flew into the net.
Four to three!
Lu Yang wins twice!
San Remo snatches a last-minute victory!
The Sampdoria players were stunned, their morale instantly shattered.
You can score from any angle!
Just how freakish is this kid?
Was that ball hit near the corner?
How could you think of that!
That ball was probably halfway out of bounds while it was still in the air!
But damn it, they still managed to get in!
"As expected of the golden right foot!" the commentator exclaimed, praising Lu Yang's goal.
Ever since Lu Yang unleashed that €100 million free kick with his signature "Lu Curler" Crescent Moon Curler, some have dubbed his right foot the "Golden Right Foot."
See? Every goal Lu Yang scores with his right foot is perfectly reasonable!
Three minutes later, the referee blew his whistle three times, ending the match.
The first half of the Serie B season has come to an end.
San Remo continues to lead Serie B with a double-digit points advantage.
Strong teams such as Sampdoria, Monza, Bologna, Perugia, and Vicenza followed in the standings.
Lu Yang has 24 goals and 8 assists, leading the Italian Serie B top scorer list by six goals over second-placed Colber.
Despite missing three games due to injury, Colber still ranks second in Serie B with eighteen goals, demonstrating the gap between him and the top scorers.
Farella originally had a chance to threaten Lu Yang and Colber, but the national team's call-up meant he missed too many long league matches.
Of course, considering that Lu Yang missed a few games due to rest and other reasons, Lu Yang's efficiency is ultimately higher than everything else.
If it weren't for the rotation system, the gap between Lu Yang and Colber would definitely be even greater.
Moric has four goals and thirteen assists, currently leading the league in assists at the halfway point of the season.
Lu Yang was ranked second on the assist list, which made Moric tremble with fear.
Brother Lu, why don't you let your underling have this assist king spot?
Let's leave aside last season, but if you resort to underhanded tactics again this season, we're no longer brothers!
What's terrifying is that the third-ranked player on the assist list is still a San Remo player – Canyes, with one goal and seven assists!
San Remo dominates the top three spots on the assist charts!
Their offensive power is terrifying!
In addition, Soguer has eight goals and three assists, Baizami has eight goals and one assist, both ranking in the top fifteen of the scoring charts!
Keep in mind that this is only the seventh round of the league.
There are still twenty-one rounds to go!
This gives a glimpse into how formidable San Remo's attacking line is.
Italy media then cried "wolf!"
San Remo now undoubtedly possesses an attacking level comparable to Serie A, allowing them to dominate Serie B!
Once a team like this enters Serie A, it's unlikely to be as easily defeated as a typical newly promoted team!
With the winter break approaching, the players are enjoying their vacation.
Lu Yang and Sophia spent Christmas with Moric and Tia.
Everyone arrived very late, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
However, it's heartbreaking that Sophia had to return to the film set that very night.
Considering Sophia's physical condition, Lu Yang did not take things further with Sophia this time, but simply gave Sophia a full-body massage.
Sophia was sweating a lot, and Lu Yang's hand was soaked.
Cough cough.
To reiterate, it really is sweat.
Once Christmas is over, the winter transfer window opens.
This winter transfer window saw little activity from top clubs, but the second division and non-top clubs were quite lively.
San Remo have made a €7 million bid for Nice midfielder Kente.
This can be described as both expected and unexpected.
This is expected because the probability of trades occurring between teams that play against each other is extremely high.
Initially, the difficulty in scouting players stemmed from the limited flow of information. It was entirely possible for any mediocre talent to be hailed as a genius simply by receiving a few words of praise from the media.
Buying rashly will only result in huge losses.
Later, with the development of information technology, although the data is relatively transparent, the media's hype is also stronger and more likely to mislead people. Only by truly witnessing it firsthand or even playing against it can you determine whether a player is the one you want.
Normally, it's the team that stands out from the winning team that gets noticed by the losing team.
For example, Juventus Cristiano Ronaldo impressed Juventus, and Neymar and Messi impressed Paris Saint-Germain, etc.
But Kente is not among these types of players.
Because when Kente faced San Remo, he was dominated by San Remo and won 3-1.
Although Nice later won 3-1, it was Boe scored twice.
If San Remo were to buy, they should buy Boe.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, San Remo will likely have difficulty retaining Soguer next season.
Soguer has matured and AC Milan will definitely recall Soguer next season.
After a two-year loan spell, without Soto's influence, AC Milan might have recalled Soguer this season to serve as a backup striker and increase the team's squad depth.
Therefore, bringing in Boe, who has both potential and immediate combat effectiveness, is the right choice.
Of course, even if San Remo were to make an offer to Boe, it wouldn't be a good decision.
This would cause chaos in San Remo's attacking line and lead to disputes over the role of the team's offensive core.
However you analyze it, San Remo just happened to make an offer for Kente.
Given Kente's reputation, ability, and track record, seven million euros is a very reasonable price.
A key player in Top Five Leagues, still very young, positioned as a defensive workhorse, and lacking any offensive talent whatsoever. If it weren't for that last point, in an era where Premier League spending has increased everyone's acceptance of money, Kente for ten million euros.
But unfortunately, Kente has no offensive capabilities whatsoever, which is very frustrating.
Although Nice helped him score a goal and provide an assist, making him seem quite well-rounded.
But even a fool knows that Kente's attacking skills can never be developed.
Just when everyone thought the deal was going to go through—after all, by then everyone had come to their senses— San Remo fielded a reserve team against Nice in their final Europe. Who would believe there wasn't something fishy going on?
These two companies probably already had it all planned out!
This deal is definitely going to happen!
That's what everyone thinks.
Even though some people don't understand why Nice would still help Kente boost his stats after already negotiating a deal with San Remo for Kente.
But Nice responded quickly.
They believe Kente is worth ten million euros!
"Hahaha! San Remo deserves it!" The Red Bull coach immediately stepped forward to mock San Remo. "They were fooled by Nice! They thought fielding a reserve lineup would facilitate the deal, but Nice won't lose a single penny of what they're owed! San Remo is incredibly stupid!"
An executive from Zenit Saint Petersburg also commented. " San Remo has money, and many teams know that. How could Nice, which is right next to San Remo, miss such a good opportunity?"
"A substandard engineer sold for ten million? San Remo's people are stupid and have too much money! Haha!"
San Remo fans were also furious.
Nice is inhuman!
You guys only made it out of the group stage thanks to your dad's match-fixing, and now you dare to ask for ten million euros?
Grass!
Next time I see you guys, I'll kick you to pieces!
Immediately, claims of incompetence from San Remo's management surfaced.
Many clubs that were waiting to take advantage of the deals made their move.
Livorno, Serie A team, has offered €500,000 for San Remo's backup right-back Mathias!
Serie A club Fnosiloni has offered €700,000 for San Remo left-back Camihon!
< Serie A team Pescara makes a €1 million bid for San Remo striker Fernandez!>
Inter Milan offer €800,000 for San Remo's backup center- Nagy!
Arsenal make €2 million bid for San Remo star striker Baizami!
The San Remo supermarket seemed to be opening ahead of schedule.
San Remo fans were both angry and amused.
What's infuriating is that these three bottom-ranked teams in Serie A dare to take advantage of San Remo?
Don't you even know your own worth?!
We're definitely playing in Serie A next year!
And you'll most likely be playing in Serie B next year!
They're trying to poach our employees?
And is the price you offered a fair price?
At his peak, Mathias was a key player for any Serie B team, and a price tag of two million euros wouldn't be unreasonable!
Camihon is still a key player for San Remo. He's young and clearly poised to make a name for himself. If he stays consistent for a year or two, five million is a definite bonus!
Needless to say, Fernandez, despite his limited talent and potential, is very intelligent. Although he has played fewer games this season, that's a protective measure by Soto.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Fernandez's future net worth of tens of millions is a certainty!
Moreover... Fernandez might stay in San Remo for a long time, and he might not be sold for any amount of money.
The same applies to Nagy.
Inter Milan are being poached by other clubs, and the contract renewals of their key players are constantly delayed. Now they're criticizing other teams' defenders. Aren't they afraid Finger will go to the Premier League?
Mind your own business first!
Nagy is San Remo's destined successor to the captain's armband; he's the kid San Remo is using to go head-to-head with Gerando!
Finally... Nana, oh Nana, that's not fair of you!
Although you have always been optimistic about our Lu Yang and Moric, and have repeatedly helped Lu Yang when public opinion was unfavorable, you are loyal and righteous.
But you think you can take Baizami away for just two million?
If Fernandez's future market value is likely to exceed ten million...
Therefore, Baizami has the potential to reach 20 million or even 30 million in the future!
Baizami is getting better and better at San Remo, and his current market value is at least six or seven million. If he can maintain his consistent performance in Serie A, his value will easily exceed ten million.
If a player has explosive stats in a particular season, earning at least 20 million is not a dream!
Two million for a player like that?
Nana, you've changed!
It is clear that this offer was not approved by Mr. Wenger.
This offer completely destroyed the goodwill and even gratitude that San Remo and its fans had always held for Arsenal.
If Arsenal, under Mr. Wenger's management, had the opportunity to acquire Lu Yang or Moric at a low price in the future...
So such preferential treatment probably doesn't exist anymore.
The sheer volume of quotes was chaotic and unpredictable.
until...
According to Hans's Live Football News: San Remo has made a formal offer of €15 million for Liverpool's defensive midfielder Fabinho!
A piece of news shocked the world.
Those who previously spent hundreds of thousands of euros are now ashamed and can't even lift their heads.
Do you really think San Remo is still the same boy he used to be?
They're a team aiming to play in Serie A next year!
They'd be embarrassed to spend a few million, but they'd ask for fifteen million to be befit their status as a tycoon!
Just when everyone thought San Remo was just joking, San Remo surprisingly released several more offers.
San Remo has offered €12 million for AC Milan's star midfielder Andres!
San Remo have offered €10 million for Juventus defensive midfielder Alonso Vidal!
A string of eight-digit numbers was sent out, making it seem like this wasn't a winter transfer window, but a summer one!
In no time, everyone knew that San Remo was rich!
The winter trading window is heating up!
