"GOAL! A game-winning shot! Lu Yang has sealed the victory!"
"A rebound goal! Lu Yang's shot from a tight angle hit the post, but he followed up and scored!"
"Here's a detail! After taking the shot, Lu Yang didn't give up and kept rushing towards the goal. He didn't know the ball would be blocked by the post, but his professional instincts kept him focused on the goal!"
" Lu Yang is not a striker, but this season, when he occasionally plays as a striker, he has demonstrated very strong professional qualities as a forward."
"Furthermore, his goal-scoring instinct is absolutely terrifying! No wonder he has scored so many goals!"
"Perhaps that's why he scored sixty goals in a single season. He's a natural goalscorer!"
The score remained unchanged in this match.
San Remo defeated Porto 3-2 at home.
Lu Yang scored twice, securing the victory and earning the Man of the Match award.
Moric dominated the game with two assists and a goal, and was tied with Lu Yang on points.
The data alone shows that goals are more important than assists.
Otherwise, Moric would have won Man of the Match.
Surprisingly, the third-highest scorer for San Remo wasn't Canyes, who provided an assist, but rather Kente.
But it's not entirely incomprehensible.
Canyes was on fire in attack, but the results will depend on his goals, and in fact, he didn't orchestrate or directly participate in many goals.
That's fate.
If Kanyes' teammates hadn't squandered those Canyes, and he had provided three assists, he would definitely have been the Man of the Match.
Similarly, Kente's ability to shut down Ferreira was undeniable, and coupled with his running statistics and the most tackles and interceptions in the entire game, such a high score is to be expected.
Furthermore, Kente's poor passing ability was significantly improved in this match.
If he continues to perform at this level, his market value will easily double!
However, after the match, opinions on the entire game became extremely polarized.
The Italy media, without a second thought, launched into a massive chorus of praise.
Why?
Because in this round of the Europa League, all three of the " Serie A- Europa League trio" except for San Remo lost their matches!
Lazio, in particular, suffered a terrible defeat!
They faced Arsenal, who had fallen from the Champions League, and initially thought they would be an easy opponent.
But who knew Arsenal would also be furious?
They spent almost 30 million to buy a Tsar, but he couldn't even get through the Champions League group stage.
In a fit of anger, Nana thrashed Lazio 3-0!
So, what makes Lazio think they can turn things around?
Lazio's star striker, Colombia international Duvan Ilic, shed tears of joy after the match!
He knew that Lazio's European campaign was likely coming to an end.
Duvan Ilic worked his way up to become a star player, even a top-tier one, but he never had the chance to win a championship, whether for the national team or his club.
He's no longer young. He has about three more years of peak performance left. If he can't win a championship of significant caliber by then, it wouldn't be wrong to say he'll never win one in his life.
This is unacceptable for an ambitious star player!
Inter Milan is in a worse situation than Lazio.
We were defeated 1-0 at the Meazza Stadium stadium!
Considering that the opponent's goal was scored away from home, each goal is counted as 1.5 goals, so Inter Milan's chances of advancing are equally slim.
Inter Milan fans even angrily cursed Talista because of this.
As the team's main striker, if you don't score, shouldn't the fans criticize you?
Talista looked completely bewildered.
Are you kidding me?
I'm among the top three scorers in the league!
This is my first season at Inter Milan, my first season in Serie A.
Have you ever seen such a strong young striker?
My performance wasn't any worse than Gutierrez's when he first arrived, was it?
He's no worse than Perotta, Carlisle, Ancarelli in their first three years of their careers, right?
He's practically the best first-year striker in Serie A history!
Why are you criticizing this?
Is it my fault that we didn't score in this match?
Finger has never made a single successful through pass, and you guys criticize me instead of him?
Talista, known for his fiery temper, immediately retorted to the fans, "I don't know how to satisfy Inter Milan's fans. If you hurl insults at me when I don't score, then I don't need your applause when I do!"
It's no surprise that Talista has always had a poor relationship with the team's fans.
In fact, Inter Milan's performance has been fluctuating during this period, and the main problem lies in the midfield.
The problem lies in the fluctuations in Finger's performance.
Inter Milan also recognized this problem and promptly initiated a new round of negotiations with Finger's agent.
It's still a contract renewal issue.
Finger is sticking to his demand for a six million euro annual salary, otherwise Finger will consider transferring this summer.
Inter Milan, left with no other option, finally reached a gentleman's agreement with Finger's agent.
If Inter Milan can turn the tide in the second leg of the knockout stage, then Inter Milan can accept Finger's salary demands.
Inter Milan had no choice but to back down!
Who can Finger when Finger is currently the top star player on the domestic team?
If the team's star player transfers away for two consecutive years, it will be a huge blow to the team's morale.
Both fans and players will feel uneasy about this.
To be honest, Finger does indeed deserve the top salary in Serie A.
His next salary contract should have been the highest in Serie A.
The problem is that the top salary in Serie A was three million before, four million last year, but it's already six million this year.
Players like Gutierrez, Izelet, Chelsea, Ancarelli made outstanding contributions to breaking through the player salary cap.
If Inter Milan has to match the maximum salary sooner or later, then they have no reason to hesitate.
They simply wanted Finger to demonstrate his abilities before investing, to solidify their confidence and convince them that their decision was correct.
In conclusion, San Remo is the only Italy team to win the first leg of their Europa League campaign.
If the media doesn't hype up San Remo, who else will they hype up?
<A series of lightning-fast dribbles! Lu Yang's spectacular breakthrough outshines the Portuguese giants!>
<Winged Takes Flight! Canyes's nimble pass helps San Remo equalize!>
<Super Defender! Kente's insane defensive stats freeze Argentina prodigy Ferreira!>
A born goal scorer! Lu Yang is a beast in the penalty area; Primeira Liga defenders are scrambling and falling over, yet still lose the game!
Two assists and one goal! Moric leads San Remo to upset the Primeira Liga leaders!
Even the fans were overjoyed by San Remo's victory.
On the other hand, the Portugal media were also cheering for Porto.
Unstoppable! Ferreira and Parrott secure two valuable away goals for Porto!
We've won half the battle! The away goal is invaluable; a 1-0 victory against Porto in the next match will secure our advancement!
<A win is all it takes! Porto has a great chance! Sanremo is in dire straits!>
You know what, the Portugal media really do have a unique perspective.
The key point is that what they said does make sense.
Is it difficult to win 1-0?
For strong teams, it's not difficult.
Porto can win as long as they score 1-0 or 2-1 in the next match!
These scores were all relatively easy to achieve.
Therefore, Porto certainly has a great chance in their next match.
Moreover, from the perspective of some experts, judging from the last match, Porto's probability of successfully advancing is even greater than that of San Remo.
It sounds like nonsense, but this kind of situation often happens in reality.
The reason is that the next match is Porto's home game.
Porto has the home advantage, so scoring a goal shouldn't be too difficult for them.
Especially considering that both Ferreira and Parrott have demonstrated unstoppable goal-scoring abilities.
At the same time, Porto has the experience of losing the previous match and has a certain understanding of San Remo. It will not be difficult for them to limit San Remo's attack and strengthen their own defense.
If San Remo doesn't score more than two goals, Porto will have the game in the bag.
Because they have two away goals.
Of course, some might argue that San Remo wouldn't just park buses?
If they park the bus (i. e., score 0-0 or 1-1), wouldn't San Remo be a very safe bet?
However, judging from San Remo's style in Serie C and Serie B seasons, they haven't played a counter-attacking style for many years.
This is also why Baizami has never transformed into a well-known football star.
Even the improvement in Baizami's stats this season is due to his gradual adaptation to the San Remo system; he's finally getting the hang of it.
However, San Remo had long abandoned the counter-attacking style that truly suited Baizami's explosiveness.
Strong teams should have the demeanor of strong teams; otherwise, if you try to challenge everyone in the league, you'll get exhausted.
Therefore, San Remo, having not played a counter-attacking style for a long time, will likely take the initiative to attack when they visit Porto later.
Of course, these are all societal opinions.
The same data can be used by those who are optimistic about Porto, and also by those who are optimistic about San Remo.
Sometimes winning first might lead to a loss, but sometimes winning first is winning.
These are all difficult to say.
However, those within San Remo are relatively relaxed about the second leg.
Soto was already worried about the second round, and his hair was falling out everywhere.
After learning about this, Lu Yang immediately told Soto, "We're guaranteed to win the second leg! We played to our usual standard in this match, scoring three goals."
"And Porto? They seem to have scored two goals, but both of them were unconventional. Without those spectacular goals, they might have even been beaten 3-0 by us!"
So you don't need to worry at all.
Soto was skeptical. "But what if they score another wonder goal in the next game?"
Lu Yang said, "Then they are a god-like team, and their players Ferreira and Parrott are god-like players. So I would suggest that you buy them no matter the cost... But actually, god-like players at this age are already superstars. Why would they stay in Porto?"
Moric and Kente shared the same opinion.
Moric: "Their midfield was far inferior to ours, so I controlled the game without much pressure."
Kente: "I think I can do better defensively in the next game. I've found Ferreira's rhythm with the ball."
The players have all said that, what else can Soto do?
Are we going to keep backing down?
Yes!
Soto chose to play it safe and did not respond to the outside discussions. He also decided to rest the key players in the league match Diva and let the substitutes play, in order to fully prepare for the second leg.
Serie B the top team in Serie B, we have the confidence to rotate our squad!
February 20th.
In the 25th round of Serie B, San Remo implemented a significant rotation of players.
The substitutes played exceptionally well in this match, but the opposing team also performed outstandingly.
The two teams ultimately tied 2-2.
Versace was named Man of the Match for his goal and assist.
Bench king Calafiori scored a goal.
The second leg of the Europa League is about to begin.
However, a major incident occurred in the Champions League that kicked off a day early.
This left the entire Europe football world speechless!
After three years of continuous reinforcements, massive investment in the transfer window, and the acquisition of more than seven world-class superstars, Real Madrid, who formed what is known as the Galacticos, have once again fallen in the Champions League Round of 16!
Champions League Round of 16!
Round of 16 in the Champions League!
This marks the fifth consecutive year that Real Madrid has fallen at this spot.
Last season, they were eliminated by the phenomenal Izelet, who scored two goals and provided one assist over two legs.
And this season, the one who eliminated them... was still the godlike Izelet, scoring four goals and providing one assist over two legs!
Real Madrid is stronger, but Izelet is even stronger!
Especially in the recently concluded second leg, Izelet's hat-trick caused the Bernabeu fans to turn against Real Madrid Izelet, giving him the loudest applause.
The moment the match ended, more than 70,000 Real Madrid fans in the stadium chanted in unison, "Buy him! Buy him! Buy him!" It was as if Li Jiaqi had possessed them!
Real Madrid fans are furious!
They can no longer tolerate being relegated to the Round of 16 in the Champions League!
The position of Real Madrid President Godfather has thus become unstable.
Real Madrid desperately needs a savior.
And no one is more suited to be Real Madrid's savior than the Son of God, Izelet. He is powerful and elegant, handsome and sunny, yet a true powerhouse!
His temperament is a perfect match for Real Madrid!
Almost on the night the match ended, the whole of Spain was in an uproar.
Because calls from Real Madrid fans to keep Izelet have already spread.
"He is the best, his ability is number one in the world, with him Real Madrid will definitely achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League! Even a super breakthrough!"
"Buy him! Only Real Madrid deserves his smile and charisma!"
" Izelet! We only need Izelet! We're just one Izelet away from being here!"
" The Galacticos can conquer the universe, but this battleship is missing its final piece: the Izelet!"
"The god has returned! Izelet should have come to Real Madrid long ago!"
"If we had bought Izelet last summer, we should have won the Champions League this season!"
"No matter the cost, the team will bring Izelet to the Bernabeu!"
" Barcelona has produced an emperor, and it's time for Real Madrid to find its heir! We need Izelet! He can help me fight against Barcelona's Mateo!"
Real Madrid fans are going crazy!
They would do anything for Izelet.
At this moment, no star player matters when faced with the name Izelet.
Whether it's Real Madrid's own youth academy prodigy Enriquez or Barcelona's new signing prodigy Mancini.
Even Real Madrid's current star Zizo, and Leonardo Mateo, Barcelona's homegrown youth star who has emerged strongly in the last three seasons and is known as the "Argentina Emperor," were overshadowed by Izelet at this moment.
Izelet became the only one.
According to Marca, based on internal sources, Real Madrid may spend more than 50 million euros to acquire Izelet after the summer transfer window opens.
This exceeds the transfer fee of Gutierrez is currently the world's most expensive player.
Moreover... Izelet only has one year left on his contract, and Real Madrid is willing to spend 50 million euros for that one year, which shows they are incredibly wealthy.
If he were to switch teams, they would most likely reach an agreement with Izelet, wait a year, and then he could transfer as a free agent for 50 million – wouldn't that be great?
But Real Madrid is different. Real Madrid never resorts to underhanded tactics when buying players; they use open strategies and follow the right path, which is why they exude an aura of dominance!
This might put some extra financial pressure on you, but it also ensures you maintain a commanding presence and refined image.
In the world of football, some people spend money with elegance, some with shrewdness, and some with generosity.
But the so-called aristocratic temperament is simply a shrewd person spending money elegantly and generously!
Furthermore, it is reported that Izelet's annual salary may exceed eight million euros after joining Real Madrid!
They will also receive a substantial signing fee.
Izelet's father, who is Izelet agent, also receives a commission of over five million euros.
Finally, the issue of Real Madrid's most valuable asset—the players' image rights—is not entirely unnecessarily untouchable!
Regarding personal terms, Real Madrid is confident that Izelet will not refuse if they ask.
But the most important question right now is how much transfer fee AC Milan will ask for.
Otherwise, Real Madrid wouldn't even have had the chance to directly contact Izelet.
Of course, this is only true on the surface.
If Real Madrid is willing, is there any player they can't reach?
Furthermore, there are reports that Izelet's father had already been in contact with Real Madrid last year!
It's undeniable that Izelet's delay in renewing his contract with AC Milan is due to his strong interest in Real Madrid's offer.
But the defeat in last season's Champions League final made the loyal and devoted Izelet willing to take another gamble for AC Milan and fight for the Champions League once again!
Otherwise, Izelet should have transferred after the end of last season!
These words sparked another bloody storm.
Compared to the uproar in the Spain media.
AC Milan fans felt as if the sky had fallen.
They won the game and made it to the Champions League quarterfinals, but not a single fan could smile.
Everyone is waiting for the team to give Izelet a new high-salary contract after winning the Champions League this year, and for Izelet and the club president to smile and hug in front of the cameras.
But now everyone realizes that this moment may never come back.
It seems like Izelet might really be leaving!
The more realistic the news, the more unbelievable it becomes, or rather, the less people want to believe it.
In Milan, the fans were utterly silent.
No one asked Izelet if she was leaving.
Because no one dares to compare with Real Madrid in terms of player appeal, especially since Izelet's task is to activate that incredibly luxurious Galacticos!
Salary of eight million.
Exorbitant signing fees and commissions.
Unparalleled ability and revenue from developing portrait rights.
These are areas where AC Milan has the will but not the ability.
Serie A is in decline.
However, with star players' salaries rising again, Serie A is clearly feeling the strain.
Juventus is already in a precarious situation; Ancarelli alone has turned Juventus into a ticking time bomb. Further turmoil is expected when veterans like Audi renew Juventus contracts.
They are a team that has undergone early generational changes and made some preparations.
In comparison, Inter Milan and AC Milan will face a more difficult situation.
Inter Milan have the €48 million left by Gutierrez, but Finger's asking price is too high, leaving Inter Milan in a dilemma. Finger is in his prime; if they give Finger a high salary, what will happen to the other players?
Similarly, even if Izelet were offered an annual salary of eight million, the prime-age Izelet would cause AC Milan's salary structure to collapse!
Serie A can't hold on any longer!
This year may very well be Serie A's last moment of glory.
The slogan of the new "Seven Sisters of Serie A" had barely been uttered when the twilight of the gods had already arrived in Serie A.
This is the cruel side of money-driven football.
Sometimes, when the football leaves you, it doesn't even say goodbye.
By the time you realize it, it's already too late to undo the damage.
In the end, it was Izelet who stepped forward to temporarily put an end to this massive debate.
Izelet posted a short message on his public platform. "Let's fight for the Champions League this season no matter what! AC Milan will win!"
Izelet's words brought tears to the eyes of AC Milan fans.
Because they seemed to already know the answer.
At this moment, many AC Milan fans even hoped that their team would be eliminated in the next Champions League quarter-final match.
Because if that happens, will Izelet stay at AC Milan again because he hasn't fulfilled his promise to the fans?
Milan, once a battleground between Izelet and Gutierrez, has suddenly become desolate, with many figures seemingly forgotten.
But on AC Milan's training ground, Andres kept running and practicing, sweating profusely.
He knew that his AC Milan era was about to begin!
The man in San Remo was right!
With Izelet about to leave and Plasedes nearing the end of his career, only Rui Andres remains a worthy opponent for AC Milan!
What Lu Yang said was actually true!
As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!
The next red and black will be Rui Andres!
February 23rd, the second leg of the first round of the Europa League knockout stage.
San Remo will travel to face Porto in the Primeira Liga Porto!
After the kickoff, Porto launched a furious attack.
Parrott scored with his first shot just seven minutes into the game.
Porto 1-0!
The score was 3-3 between Porto San Remo, but Porto had taken the lead and turned the tide thanks to two away goals!
But five minutes after that goal, Bernulini made a long pass from the backfield and found Lu Yang.
Lu Yang repeatedly moved laterally to adjust his position, maneuvering and weaving within the penalty area.
He even changed his angle from facing the goal to facing away from the goal, and then back to facing the goal, all in order to adjust the angle.
He almost circled the defenders on the left side of the penalty area, and then, surrounded by four defenders, curled a shot into the far corner of the net.
This goal was incredible; it was absolutely a wonder goal.
This goal not only left Porto's defenders helpless, but also left San Remo's other players bewildered, only able to watch Lu Ge's performance in silence.
San Remo also took a commanding 4-3 lead over Porto with this goal.
But the Porto players remained confident, because if they scored just one more goal, they could take the lead again on away goals!
Ferreira launched repeated attacks.
However, Kente's defense has improved since their last encounter. He has really found Ferreira's rhythm with the ball and made several successful tackles while Ferreira was dribbling.
This time, San Remo did not give Porto another chance.
Kente and Lu Yang's sweeping attacks in midfield left Porto with virtually no midfield options.
Their only offensive tactic is to launch long balls from the backfield to find the forwards.
But Lam's only task in this match was to mark Parrott.
It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be for a forward to be marked by a fast center-back.
Although this leaves San Remo wide open in the middle, if Porto launches a through ball down the middle, they could potentially break through San Remo's defense.
But even a through pass down the middle can only start from midfield.
Porto's football simply cannot get past the midfield.
You have your center-back play a through ball from the backfield to break through the middle.
This is nothing short of a fantasy.
In the 82nd minute, Soguer won a corner for San Remo during a counter-attack.
Moric took a corner kick, and Nagy, who started in place of Palacios today, headed the ball into the net.
Five to three!
San Remo almost killed the game!
Porto's morale plummeted after they went from needing only one goal to win to scoring two to draw.
After the third whistle, Porto's European campaign came to an end, ending their unfortunate exit from the competition.
San Remo has successfully advanced to the Europa League Round of 16!
Let Italy shine its last rays!
