"WTF!"
"You can believe it!"
"This..."
Perhaps no one could have imagined that Star of Italy Team would dare to play like this when facing Arsenal.
Especially after Wenger appointed new team player Smith Luoer.
"Smith Luo! Pressure, you want their No. 24 player to feel the pressure. You can't let him come and go in our midfield at will, understand?" Wenger shouted to Arsenal's new midfielder Smith Luo.
Smith Luo just transferred to Arsenal this summer. He previously played for the EFL Championship team. He is a typical England defensive midfielder and is positioned as an important rotation player for the team.
His main playing time next season is expected to be after 70 minutes, used to maintain the team's advantage.
Last season, Arsenal ranked among the top three Premier League teams in terms of goals conceded in the last 20 minutes. This is definitely not a good result.
The team believed that the players were not tough enough in the second half and needed to introduce tough defensive players.
But some people believe that this is because the Arsenal players are either too young or too old and lack enough physical strength to support the entire game. Therefore, the loss of goals caused by the reduced control of the football in the second half has nothing to do with whether the defense is tough or not.
But judging from the signings of Arsenal, they are more willing to believe in the former.
Of course, it may also be related to Arsenal's insufficient transfer funds.
After all, if the latter's approach is followed, Arsenal will undergo a large-scale replacement. Not to mention whether the players can adapt, at least Arsenal's funds cannot adapt.
You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, right?
Return to the field.
The instruction of Wenger has just been sent.
Ten minutes after kick-off, the second layer of Perpetual Motion Machine special effects of Lu Yang was activated.
His ability increased to 5%.
This also means that he has run 12km.
This data is undoubtedly astonishing.
One minute later, Arsenal launched a fierce attack on the right side of Star of Italy.
Their entire army pressed forward.
Canyes was unable to defeat the four-handed opponent with two fists. He retreated all the way and was pushed near the penalty area line by the opponent.
Just when the opponent was about to dribble horizontally to break through, Moric quietly retracted from behind.
He completed a perfect sneak steal and interrupted the opponent's attack.
But Arsenal's players also rushed towards him instantly.
With more than three people surrounding him, Moric had no time to organize an attack.
He could only subconsciously transfer the long ball and drive the football to the left.
And because there was a player blocking the ball in front, his kick was a cross pass outside the penalty area, which did not comply with the clearance principle.
But Moric still spread it like this!
And why is it the left?
Because Moric subconsciously knows that the person he trusts the most is in that direction.
The football went from the right back of the Star of Italy half to the left back of the Star of Italy half.
Lu Yang gained an advantage in the aerial confrontation with the opponent's forward and successfully fought for the football.
The opponent's forward fell to the ground and signaled to the referee that Lu Yang had committed a foul, but the referee said that this was a normal confrontation.
Lu Yang controlled the football, looked at Smith Luo directly in front, and moved the football to the right.
Smith Luo was not fooled, he occupied Lu Yang's forward position from the wing.
On the goal just now, Lu Yang broke through the Arsenal defender's defense with an action that looked like an inward cut but was actually a bottom move.
Although the current stroke of Lu Yang is different from the previous technical movements, the idea is the same.
Smith·Luo believes that Lu Yang intends to lure him to block his possible dribbling to the middle.
But the final direction of Lu Yang must still be to the bottom.
So Smith·rib does not move at all.
At this time, the direction of Lu Yang is no longer facing the baseline, but facing the goal, which is about thirty degrees intersecting with Smith Luo.
Coupled with the setback of Smith·Luo, Lu Yang has sufficient foot space.
He saw a perfect opportunity!
He swung his right leg back sharply and began to accumulate strength.
At the same time, Smith Luo was lost.
Lu Yang What are you planning to do?
This is sixty or seventy meters away from the goal, right?
Why does his movement look so like... shooting?
No, he must be trying to pass the ball.
Definitely!
Bang!
Many people have seen the accumulation of Lu Yang.
But no one knows the destination of Lu Yang's kick.
Baizami?
He is right behind Smith Luo. If the ball is passed to Baizami, then the direction and the force are wrong.
Soguer?
He is still near the center circle, and Lu Yang seems to have used too much force, right?
Right?
Parrott and Soguer are in similar positions, and it is impossible to get the ball.
"Oh...Lu Yang The pass was too big and the football flew to... Wait a minute, this is not a pass!"
"Oh my God! Lu Yang This is not a pass. Is he trying to shoot?"
"Look, Arsenal's offensive is so fierce, their goalkeeper even ran out of the penalty area! Now it's an empty goal!"
"The football is fast, powerful and really aimed at the goal!"
"Arsenal's goalkeeper was running back, oh, the football jumped over his head."
"Arsenal The goalkeeper took off and tried to intercept the football in the air, but unfortunately, he couldn't touch the football at all."
"Football seems a bit high."
Bang!
The football missed the crossbar and crashed into the goal.
There were more than 40,000 fans at the scene, and it was completely silent.
Facing Arsenal, the score is behind!
Big kick from the backcourt!
And he got in!
There are thousands of ways to score a goal, but no one can imagine this one!
"GOAL!" The stadium commentator reacted immediately and roared into the microphone!
And a moment later, incomparable cheers came from Juventus Stadium!
"Oh my God! This is simply unbelievable. Lu Yang actually chose this method!"
"This is Arsenal!"
"How dare he?"
"He really is a player with a big heart!"
"Lu Yang's vision is so broad! I think we have all seriously ignored this! He is the player who lost the least ball rights in this game, which is definitely related to his vision!"
"It's too strong. It's such a long distance, which requires a lot of foot strength and shooting accuracy. Of course, you can even think of this as a precise high-altitude pass into the goal!"
"Sixty-five meters! Lu Yang created a new record of Juventus Stadium. He became the holder of the longest goal distance in this stadium! And this record will be difficult to break."
"This is also the farthest goal in the history of the Arsenal team!"
"This goal is enough to remind people of Premier League Manchester United the legendary star Best, who scored a stunning midfielder lob in his first game!"
"Previously, some media called Lu Yang Italy Best. Now it seems that Lu Yang is really similar to Best in some aspects."
"And as we all know, Best is the famous killer Arsenal!"
"He once ran 16km in a game against Arsenal, and finally led Manchester United that season to defeat Arsenal by two points and became the Premier League champion."
"This is a past event that makes Arsenal fans sad. Now, it has been brought up again."
"Oh, we can see Mr. Wenger getting up. He frowned and stared at Lu Yang who scored the goal. Maybe he finally felt something different about this player."
At the same time.
Wenger was covering his mouth while communicating with the assistant beside him. "I don't know why, but I have an ominous premonition about this game."
The teaching assistant was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Wenger said, "Everyone knows that I am good at discovering talented players. I have my own unique way of identifying people... Do you know what the characteristics of talented players are?"
The assistant coach said, "Running fast? Top physical fitness? Excellent ball skills? Unparalleled shooting skills?"
Wenger nodded and shook his head. "These are all considered, but... there is another kind, and that is the most special kind... that is, the more important the game and the more critical the game moment, the stronger his performance will be."
"Such players are called key players in basketball. But in football, they prefer to be called giant killers!"
"We may very well have encountered an unprecedented giant killer."
The assistant coach was full of questions. "Is it because of these two goals?"
Wenger nodded. "If he only scores two goals in this game, he at least has the potential of a first-class forward."
Assistant coach. "But he is just a defensive midfielder. Oh no, he is playing as a left back in this game."
Wenger: "The position is not important, talent will lead him to the correct playing position. Just like even if he is at the left back position, he can still contribute two goals."
Assistant coach. "Okay, but when you just said, 'If he scores two goals,' is there a second half to this sentence?"
Wenger said, "If he can perform a hat trick, then his future will be beyond this era!"
The assistant coach was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Wenger, this... is impossible... we are Arsenal, and we will win the final victory. And... even if Star of Italy scores another goal, it will definitely not belong to this young man. The players on the field have regarded him as the biggest threat in this game, and he has no chance."
Wenger said, "Have you seen the collection of tragic comebacks in football in the past twenty years? In 80% of the games, a player scored twice, in 60% of the games there was a penalty kick, in 30% of the games there were more than two goals in the last ten minutes, and in 10% of the games there was a stoppage time winner!"
"Do you know what percentage of games have players scoring hat tricks?"
The assistant coach shook his head and said, "I don't know, five percent? Or one percent? After all, there shouldn't be many situations where you rely on your personal ability to defeat the opponent's entire team."
Wenger smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty percent!"
"Huh?" the assistant coach couldn't believe it.
Is this probability so high?
This is a hat trick!
And it was a hat trick in a comeback game!
Wenger said, "This fully illustrates the ability of key players to dominate key games. This is difficult to reflect in various usual data, but this is the biggest characteristic of superstars!"
"I'm suddenly looking forward to what this Lu Yang will bring us next."
The game starts again.
Lu Yang scored with a super long shot from the backcourt, allowing Star of Italy to successfully equalize the score.
Arsenal players are anxious.
They didn't expect the score of this game to be like this.
In fact, they played relatively easily, but the result...
Suddenly, many Arsenal players became anxious.
They pressed forward eagerly to attack.
Although it seems that they have gained more advantages on the scene, almost forcing Star of Italy Team to play in the backcourt.
But their cooperation with each other is no longer as patient as before.
Often without thorough tactics, they take long shots from gaps that look like opportunities but are not good ones.
There are also adventurous long passes and so on.
This style of play looks strong, but it doesn't lead to points.
Star of Italy's side, under the tight defense, actually has some opportunities to counterattack.
Lam blocked the shot once and used his body to block the shot. The football fell to Moric's feet. Moric turned around and quickly volleyed the ball.
Baizami jumped up and rushed forward.
Arsenal's defense line suddenly went crazy.
In the end, the attack was barely disrupted.
But this finally got Mr. Wenger excited, and he began to scold the team's defense.
Arsenal barely returned to normal.
Eighty-two minutes.
The same situation happened again, Moric once again got a clearance ball from his teammate.
This is his pitch insight.
He raised his feet and was about to turn around and volley.
But he was hit by Smith Luo behind him.
Moric fell down on the spot, hugging his legs and curling up into a ball on the court.
Turning around and volleying the ball has its unparalleled threat on the court, but it also has a fatal flaw. That is that the players themselves are actually unaware of the situation behind them!
Therefore, this kind of passing requires players to have strong instant memory ability and brain dynamic simulation ability.
Players often look at the situation in the frontcourt, remember it in their minds, then turn around to catch the ball and pass the ball quickly without looking at anyone.
During the turn, how the players behind him move, etc., are all invisible to this player. He can only simulate the movement of the entire field in his mind based on his rich game experience, tacit understanding with his teammates, and tactical anatomy of the opponent, so as to judge where each person will appear.
Only in this way will a pass be made that the defensive players cannot react to.
But if there is a player behind him who makes an "unreasonable" move during this period, Moric cannot simulate it.
For example...
The opponent suddenly turns back or goes up, etc.
This was vividly reflected in the 2021 Champions League finals.
De Bruyne moved quickly after passing the ball, but before he could even take a full step, he was knocked to the ground by Rudiger who was on top of him. He suffered fractures to his nose and orbital bones, and he quit the game on the spot.
The movement of Rudiger is an "abnormal movement" that cannot be simulated in De Bruyne's mind.
Of course, De Bruyne is a quick insertion after a quick pass, which is double speed. Moric cannot yet achieve this.
But even if you are knocked down during a quick pass, the consequences can be serious.
"Moric!" Lu Yang ran over.
Moric stretched out his hand towards Lu Yang and shook it, indicating that he was not seriously injured, just in simple pain.
Lu Yang felt better, then he looked at Smith Luo who had just defended Moric and said, "Hey, man, he is just a child. You can be gentler next time. This is not the Champions League final after all."
Lu Yang's tone control is pretty good.
You can interpret it as a slight complaint on his part, but you can also interpret it as a sense of humor.
But Smith Luo didn't seem to feel Lu Yang's humor. After all, Lu Yang had previously kicked a 65-meter super lob in front of him.
Smith Luo's violent foul against Moric may not have been out of vent.
"That's how the game is. If you can't play, ask the head coach to replace him as soon as possible." Smith Luo was very indifferent.
"What's your attitude? You should go for the ball, and you shouldn't aim to hurt others. This is not Premier League, this is Italy!" Lu Yang frowned.
"This is a normal collision in the game. Maybe I will get a yellow card for it, but that is also the referee's business, not your business." Smith Luo said, "You pushy boy, I completed a beautiful defense, and I did nothing wrong. I have said that if his body is brittle, he should leave professional football as soon as possible, otherwise he will always have a broken leg in the future!"
"Who are you saying has a broken leg?" Lu Yang's temper grew.
A broken leg is one of the most vicious curses on a professional player.
"He, you, you Italy little brats, all of you!" Smith Luo is also on fire, I'm like this, if there's anything wrong, the referee will say, it's none of your business!
As for a player's development and future achievements, what does it have to do with him?
There is one thing to say, Smith Rowe is not wrong, and Lu Yang's reaction is not excessive. However, due to the positions, performances and scores of both sides, both sides are angry, so it is easy to be swayed by emotions and amplify the conflict.
Maybe after the game is over, everything will return to normal.
But at this moment, the two people were fighting each other angrily.
The referee rushed over immediately.
He gave a yellow card to Lu Yang who took the initiative to cause trouble.
Then Smith Luo was given a yellow card for a foul.
After Moric stood up, Lu Yang returned to his defensive position, and then silently drew a random gift bag.
In this game, all Star of Italy Team players were originally able to accept a draw.
The other party is Arsenal!
But from this moment on, Lu Yang was different... He suddenly wanted to win!
This is not against Smith Luo, but... against Arsenal... everyone who came to Juventus Stadium this time!
At such times, the system often chooses to be an individual.
"Ding, you got a Moment Card, Son Heung-min!"
