In the 25th minute of the match, Ferreira repeated his previous tactic, attacking the Canyes area.
Canyes was having a real headache.
So everyone treats him like a hot commodity?
Of course, Canyes wasn't expected to make a huge contribution to the right flank defense in San Remo. He was just expected to get back into position to defend as soon as possible after holding off the opponent at their strong points.
Ferreira cut inside early this time, getting into the rib area very early.
Kente charged at him again.
Ferreira feinted a pass and made a sudden run, seemingly preparing for a one-two pass, but actually flicked the ball between Kente's legs with a Flip Flap.
Kente felt a chill between his legs.
I'm 1.68 meters tall, how the hell can you even fit my crotch?
Be a decent human being!
Kente turned and tackled her!
Ferreira was knocked to the ground.
The referee immediately rushed over and gave Kente a yellow card.
From a professional standpoint, Kente's defense was fine, but the opponent's penetration ability was too strong, so he used an unconventional breakthrough.
Such a brilliant breakthrough is rare in a single match.
Kente's decision to extinguish a golden opportunity for the opponent with a yellow card was spot on.
But... this yellow card came a bit too early.
As a result, some fans don't have much faith in Kente.
Logically speaking, interrupting the opponent's attack with a yellow card is essentially a sign of insufficient ability.
Is Kente already falling behind after only twenty minutes?
On the other side, Lu Yang sighed.
Kente is such an honest kid.
The yellow card was fine, but you intimidated the other person once and defended them once. Now that you have the card, you can say something tough, like, "Don't even think about getting past me, or you'll be in even worse shape next time," or "Do you want to break your leg, little brother? I was holding back just now!"
However, Kente said nothing, making it seem as if a successful defensive play had failed.
This will only embolden the other side.
Kente is almost impeccable defensively; if one had to nitpick, his mouth and face might not be fierce enough, which is perhaps his only shortcoming.
Five minutes later, Ferreira once again cut inside from behind Canyes.
Ferreira began a dazzling series of Stepover, showcasing the style of a South America player to the fullest.
But Kente seized the opportunity, making a tackle and successfully intercepting the ball.
Kente passes the ball to Lam.
Lam attempted a through ball from the backfield, but it was intercepted by the opposing team in the middle.
The opposing team passed the ball back to Ferreira.
Kente's position is now somewhat insecure.
Bang!
Ferreira knew how persistent Kente was, so he dared not show off his skills anymore and took a long-range shot from the flank.
Areola made a diving save.
But the ball was too fast, Areola was too slow.
when!
The football hit the goalpost.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the ball bounced back and struck Areola in the back, sending it into the net.
Goal!
Porto are leading 1-0 away from home!
The Makabaka Stadium was stunned.
No one could speak.
Kente's successful interception, Lam's failed through ball, and Kente's defensive intimidation prevented Ferreira from dribbling. Ferreira's long-range shot hit the post and bounced into the net behind Areola.
Whose fault is it?
You can't blame Areola for being too aggressive in his saves, can you?
Theoretically speaking, if Areola hadn't made the save, the ball wouldn't have gone in.
But is a goalkeeper who doesn't make saves a good goalkeeper?
If you're going to pretend, at least pretend to leap.
"GOAL! Ferreira is too strong! He stunned the San Remo defenders with his breakthrough and his stunning long-range shot forced Areola into an own goal!"
"Oh, it's an own goal, but it's still Ferreira's goal! According to UEFA rules, this goal belongs to Ferreira!"
" Ferreira did what a key player should do; he completely crippled San Remo's right flank today!"
The commentator's stance was too biased towards Porto.
Ferreira's goal was indeed spectacular, but it was a truly divine goal.
From a tactical perspective, this shot was actually a failure.
Kente's defense was perfect, but after the goal, his appearance in front of Ferreira became a mistake.
Many half-baked "professionals" will certainly write extensively about Ferreira's thrashing of Kente.
That's the cruel reality of football.
Truly outstanding players may not receive the recognition they deserve.
It doesn't matter for the time being.
Over time, players begin to doubt themselves, and even the best players eventually become less so.
So Lu Yang ran over to Kente, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You defended very well. He was lucky with that goal. That's football."
"If you keep going like this, I don't believe he can score against you again. He doesn't have that ability!"
Kente, the diminutive player excitedly charged forward, completely unaffected by conceding the goal.
A good mindset is also an essential quality for excellent defensive players.
For the next ten minutes, Porto seemed convinced that Ferreira could outmaneuver Kente, so they passed the ball to Ferreira frequently.
But Ferreira himself knew what was going on.
He simply lacked the confidence to get past Kente.
He used all his exceptional skills, but failed repeatedly.
Sometimes he had a chance to pass the ball to his teammates, and sometimes he would be dispossessed by Kente.
For a moment, Porto's attack came to a standstill.
Canyes also capitalized on his offensive strengths.
Thirty-seventh minute.
After Kente intercepted the ball, he passed it to Canyes had come back to receive it.
Canyes accelerated with a flick of the ball, outmaneuvering the Porto midfielder who came to defend.
Just as he was about to enter the third attack zone, Canyes had a sudden inspiration and saw Lu Yang running across from him.
Bang!
Without cutting inside or going to the byline, pass the ball directly at a 45-degree angle.
Lu Yang received the ball on the left flank at the edge of the attacking third.
Lu Yang directly Flip Flap with his left foot.
It appears to be a bottom edge, but it's actually an inward cut.
The football went through the legs of the opposing defender.
It replicated Ferreira's previous flashy dribbling skills.
Lu Yang initiated the incision!
The opposing player tried to pull Lu Yang away, but he wasn't as decisive as Kente, and Lu Yang was far stronger in physical duels than Ferreira.
Lu Yang slapped away the opponent's hand that was pulling at his jersey and charged into the left side of the penalty area.
The opposing center-back rushed out.
Lu Yang stopped the ball, then stepped on it with his right foot and rolled it to the left, seemingly preparing to cut inside and go down the wing.
The bottom of this position is extremely dangerous.
When players go down the flanks, they can basically only cross the ball into the box.
Some weirdo might insist on starting their incursion into the restricted area from here, but the success rate would be too low.
However, if you go down to the byline from just inside the penalty area's vertical line, you can either pass or shoot.
Many star players score from tight angles by going down the wing from this position and then unleashing a powerful shot from near the byline.
Recently, Vinicius and Salah each scored from a tight angle from the left or right side of the penalty area.
So the center-back followed Lu Yang's movement.
Especially since Lu Yang's right foot had already been inserted to the left of his left foot, he was definitely going to fall to the ground; there was no other choice.
However...
Lu Yang pulled his left foot out and landed quickly, tapping the ball with his heel.
The football immediately changed from "right to left" to "left to right" and bounced back.
A sideways flick to the ball!
It's a seemingly simple technical maneuver, but it's actually quite difficult to execute and very effective.
Players whose fundamental skills are not solid are prone to making mistakes when using this move.
Ronaldo's antics on the edge of the penalty area basically all came down to two moves: the Fried Meatballs and the sideways flick.
This move, if not used, will either kill or injure oneself.
Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney once demonstrated on the pitch just how absurd he can be after making a technical mistake.
Images are welcome here!
Lu Yang continued his incision.
This sideways flick turned Lu Yang's inside cut into a lightning bolt, like the one Harry Potter had on his head.
Although the route was winding, the goal remained unchanged.
However, as Lu Yang moved to the left, Porto's second center-back also moved over to cover for his teammate's movement.
So when Lu Yang finished his move, he ran right into the second Porto defender.
Lu Yang slowed down again, stepping on the ball with his right foot and pulling it to the left.
It seems like we're going to repeat the previous technical move.
Why would Porto's defenders fall for this again?
The best time for Lu Yang to intercept the ball is when his right foot lands and his left foot lifts up to tap it.
However, the center-back did not live to see that moment.
This time, Lu Yang kicked the ball in the opposite direction before his right foot even touched the ground.
A sudden stop with a sideways pull!
Pulling the ball back half a step and then kicking it away adds a feint to the move compared to simply dribbling past an opponent.
You can think of this move as a slow-motion version of Flip Flap.
This movement is slower than starting by directly flicking the ball.
But it's faster than a sideways flick.
Lu Yang is almost there.
He broke past the center-back.
The breakthrough path is once again similar to lightning, only this lightning is smaller.
It's basically the same as the "continuous curves" road sign icon in China, except it's angled to the right.
He beat three people in a row.
There were no more obstacles in front of Lu Yang.
Bang!
A powerful shot from the center of the penalty area.
Batigoal!
The Porto goalkeeper could only be thankful he had dived in the wrong direction.
Otherwise, they will either die or be seriously injured!
"Well done! That was an artistic goal!"
"1-1! Lu Yang dribbles past three players and scores, San Remo equalizes at home!"
" Ferreira's world-class goal was certainly a divine goal, but Lu Yang's series of lightning-fast breakthroughs this time felt like God was playing football! He's a god incarnate!"
" Flip Flap, sideways flick, sideways stop! Lu Yang pulled off a triple-hit move that I can't even do in FIFA!"
"Too powerful! This is Soto's trump card!"
"The strength of the 3-5-2 formation depends entirely on the performance of the two wing-backs! And whether it's Canyes or Lu Yang, they can enable San Remo to attack from both flanks!"
"How can Porto possibly withstand such an offensive?"
One to one!
This is the score for the first half.
Although San Remo did not score again, they had gained the upper hand in attacking momentum.
Their extensive movement and maneuvering left Porto somewhat exhausted.
If the game had gone on a little longer, and if their attacks had been more refined, Porto might have dropped points.
But this is also one of Porto's lucky points.
During halftime, Porto's coach readjusted the team's playing style.
Ferreira couldn't handle that short guy!
Therefore, he shifted the focus of the attack, allowing Ferreira to play a key role in linking up play, and appropriately allocating some attacking resources to the right side of the team.
Ferreira nodded in agreement, but a sense of disappointment lingered in his heart.
This means that in the head coach's eyes, he is no longer the one who can help the team win; he can only start to play a supporting role and let others step up.
Ferreira wasn't unable to accept it, but he was somewhat disgusted by this feeling of powerlessness.
It's all that 1.68-meter guy's fault!
At the start of the second half, Ferreira earned a yellow card within minutes.
Because Kente is just too clingy!
Why can't you defend against other people?
Am I your father?
Ferreira could no longer even link up the team, and unable to contain his anger, he pushed Kente after a Kente interception, preventing Kente from passing the ball.
The yellow card elicited cheers from the San Remo fans.
"Our little guy seems pretty good!"
"Hahaha! Ferreira's mentality has collapsed! Kente is awesome!"
" Kente's defensive ability is truly unparalleled!"
Fans started actively defending Kente.
Meanwhile, Kente gave the angry Ferreira an innocent smile, "Good game, keep it up!"
Kente swore he genuinely thought Ferreira played well today; at the very least, while Ferreira was being frozen out by Kente, he also "froze" Kente.
Otherwise, Kente's defensive range could extend to the entire field.
But besides playing football, Ferreira also enjoys playing Dota and Hero Glory.
Amidst laughter and cheers, the game ended with a "GG" (good game) being typed.
If it weren't for his teammates stopping him, Ferreira would have almost received a red card.
Lu Yang, who was standing to the side, retracted his previous assessment of Kente.
This kid isn't very good at handling harsh words, but he can really upset you sometimes.
They're the kind of people who mess with you without you even realizing it.
Porto's attacking focus thus shifted completely away from Ferreira.
Porto's midfielder makes a pass, and Parrott receives the ball.
They directly challenged both Bernulini and Palacios.
And he actually succeeded.
Bang!
Parrott takes a shot.
Lam made a timely recovery and used his body to block the shot.
This also demonstrates the reliability of Lam's powerful backing.
But Parrott is no pushover either.
Five minutes later, Parrott came back again, once again challenging Bernulini and Palacios after receiving a pass from his teammate.
This is also largely due to Kente being drawn away by Ferreira.
Parrott feigned a combination play with his teammates, but actually relied on his speed to dribble the ball.
Bernulini and Palacios retreated repeatedly.
Lam is on his way.
Lu Yang caught up with Parrott.
It appears that Parrott made a wrong choice.
San Remo's defensive tactics once again achieved the desired effect.
But the god of football seemed to be favoring Porto today.
Surrounded by four players, Parrott suddenly unleashed a shot from an extremely long distance, just three steps outside the right side of the penalty area.
A stunning breakthrough in football!
It slammed against the crossbeam and bounced into the net.
Areola was speechless with emotion.
Damn it!
Is this something a human can defend against?
Those were all incredible shots! Even Audi couldn't touch the ball, believe it or not!
Lu Yang and the others could only sigh.
It's finally here!
Is it the system bureau?
But you know what, there are quite a few incredible goals and matches like this in world football that leave you speechless.
That's what makes football so unpredictable.
Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United has been met with cheers from fans, but experts across the board are pessimistic about Cristiano Ronaldo future at the Manchester United.
From a conventional perspective, Cristiano Ronaldo's decline is quite evident, and Manchester United currently lacks the qualities of a championship-winning team, struggling significantly in terms of overall strength compared to other top teams.
However... Cristiano Ronaldo made a triumphant return, silencing all the experts and delivering game-winning goals time and again!
Ultimately, is it really that Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't gotten old yet?
No, this time he really is old, and there may be a time when he is powerless to change things.
But... the reason why Messi-Ronaldo and Ronaldo were destined to become football kings is not only because of their extremely high level of play and the extremely long duration of their peak periods, but also because they were just too good at scoring amazing goals!
A goal isn't just a spectacular one that can be called a "miracle goal."
Scoring a goal under impossible circumstances is also considered a miraculous goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the epitome of this kind of wonder goal.
Parrott today is channeling Cristiano Ronaldo; what can Lu Yang do?
"I'll keep an eye on him!" Lu Yang said to Moric.
What can we do?
Of course, you should go close to defend against him!
Why not just defend him like Emperor Lin instead of Cristiano Ronaldo?
At this point, both of San Remo's key players were now focused on marking the opponent's main offensive player.
Kente and Lu Yang followed Ferreira and Parrott, the latter two practically experiencing ecstasy.
The most ingenious part is that San Remo's system originally allowed Lu Yang to roam freely.
As long as Moric is there, they can play even without Lu Yang.
And Kente is a player from the "Lu faction," just like Lu Yang.
So even though San Remo was down two men, with only nine fighting, they were still able to function.
But Porto on the other side didn't have this kind of advanced style of play.
What's been frozen are their two true offensive cores!
Porto's attacking system was thus completely paralyzed.
So San Remo subsequently gained the upper hand in the offensive.
Canyes frequently made runs down the right flank, creating numerous threats.
He has become San Remo's devilish winger; as long as he plays well, Lu Yang and Moric will basically have nothing to do.
Canyes is San Remo's third tactical option, besides Moric and Lu Yang.
Today, Canyes clearly let loose.
Bang!
After several attempts, Canyes once again plunged into the danger zone.
He launched a cross from the wing, seemingly aimed at Soguer inside the penalty area, where Porto were also vying for the header.
However, when the football flew out, it deflected significantly and ended up outside the penalty area.
Passing the ball without looking!
A feint in the direction of the pass!
His technique was to pass into the penalty area, but when his foot actually made contact with the ball, he changed the point of contact and the technique, causing the ball's arc and direction to differ from what everyone initially expected.
Many midfielders possess this passing Bruno Fernandes, and Bruno Fernandez of Manchester United is particularly adept at and fond of using this technique.
This is also related to Manchester United's tactics, which allow him to deliver through balls facing the goal when his back is to the goal, thus completing an assist.
Bang!
Moric arrived quickly, and the shooting opportunity was excellent.
The football was shot into the net – a world-class goal, a long-range shot of extremely high quality!
" Canyes delivers a brilliant pass, Moric unleashes a superb long-range shot! 2-2, San Remo has equalized again at home!"
"If Parrott's long-range shot was an unexpected wonder goal, then Moric's long-range shot was exactly what everyone expected—brilliant and precise!"
" Moric's long-range shooting ability is quite good; Porto made a mistake by leaving that position open."
" Canyes drew away two defenders, Soguer attracted defenders in the penalty area. When Lu Yang was marking Parrott, he would sometimes drop back into his own attacking third to make runs; he covered the most distance in the game today!"
" Kente ran the second-longest distance of the game, with very little difference between the two, but the gap between them and the other players was huge. They ran a full two kilometers more than the player who ran the third-longest distance!"
"Can San Remo hold onto their home ground? Let's wait and see!"
In the 79th minute of the match, Canyes suffered a leg cramp. After a brief treatment, he returned to the field, but a minute later, Soto made a substitution.
Canyes had a comfortable flight today, but his physical strength was greatly depleted.
In his determination to win, Soto decided to take a gamble.
Mathias replaced Canyes as a substitute.
Nagy replaced Palacios, who was too old and struggled in high-level matches.
Versace, who was in good form in other competitions, replaced Baizami and moved to Lu Yang's position.
Lu Yang took the spot in the "2" of the 352 formation, forming a partnership with Soguer.
Placing the player most likely to score goals closest to the ball— Soto's football philosophy is that simple and practical.
Eighty-eighth minute of the match.
Lu Yang's positioning was unpredictable, triggering Shadow Ghost and Nimble Lightning in succession, before making a through pass from Moric inside the penalty area.
Lu Yang received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, but Porto's center-back made a strong collision with him.
Soguer was there to provide support, but Lu Yang had no space to pass the ball.
After penetrating into the penalty area, Lu Yang still couldn't fully control the ball, and the opponent's physical strength was extremely strong, seemingly intending to push Lu Yang out of bounds.
Bang!
Lu Yang swayed as he kicked.
Moreover, because the opponent was on Lu Yang's left and too close, Lu Yang could only shoot with his right foot to avoid losing possession.
A right-footed shot from inside the six-yard box, near the byline.
This means the angle is very small!
This kind of shot is very difficult to score.
when!
Sure enough, the football hit the goalpost.
The Makabaka Stadium really treated people horribly today.
Not only did they cause an own goal for San Remo, but they also blocked Lu Yang's shot.
And coincidentally, the Porto goalkeeper also rushed over, but missed as well.
Moreover, when the ball hit the post and bounced back, it also struck the Porto goalkeeper in the back!
But the ball didn't bounce into Porto's goal.
Instead, its trajectory was slightly altered, its speed slowed, and it flew away from the goal.
San Remo fans were filled with regret and sighs.
That's it, the game is over!
But there was one person who didn't give up.
Lu Yang didn't just leave the game after taking the shot.
On the contrary, without the obstacle of the ball, he was able to focus entirely on battling the opposing center-back and thus gained the upper hand.
Lu Yang reached out and pinned down the opposing center-back, then forcefully cut inside past him.
The center-back, who had been physically battling Lu Yang, never expected that Lu Yang would exert force even after passing the ball, and was directly disadvantaged in the confrontation, falling over inside the penalty area.
Lu Yang, having dealt with the center-back, saw the ball bounce back.
The goalposts wouldn't let me score, Porto goalkeeper's back couldn't block an own goal, so I'll take the rebound myself and see if you can still refuse our goal!
Bang!
Lu Yang extended his leg for a follow-up shot.
At the same time, after the Porto goalkeeper fell to the ground, he saw the ball moving at a slow speed and prepared to make two consecutive saves.
His hand was about to touch the soccer ball when it was suddenly kicked by a foot.
With the next kick, the white football tumbled in the net.
