<Four rounds of invincibility! Has San Remo's money been wasted?>

<The King of Serie D defeated Serie C, Modern Football The league level gap is so big!>

<The City of Sunshine has an inevitable fate, San Remo has a high probability of being relegated to Serie D this season!>

<Two draws and two losses, two points from four rounds, second to last in the standings!>

<A phrase that turned out to be a prophecy, analyzing what Latuidi said, "We will only stay at Serie C for one year," turns out to mean a downgrade!>

<I won't lose if the team loses? Italy The core of the future midfielder? That's it?>

<There is no way to save the day! Moric scored four goals in four games, one shot and three passes, but it was hard to win!>

<The fans are angry! They denounced the team's left winger Baizami as not worthy of starting and demanded that Soto remove Baizami!>

<One goal in four games, Milan youth training Soguer still can't find his shooting boots! The cup performance is just a flash in the pan!>

<No wonder Versace will be given up by Viola like this!>

<With frequent mistakes in the front and backcourt, where is the way out for San Remo?>

<A humiliating defeat of 2 to 5, San Remo fans angrily tore up their season tickets and burst into tears!>

<Lu Yang is back! Can San Remo stop the decline and win the first victory of the season?>

The major media have made a huge noise.

In the previous four rounds, the media was relatively silent.

Firstly, the season has just begun after all, and all teams need time to adjust. Many top teams also fall out of the European competition zone in the first six rounds of the season.

So everyone gave San Remo enough time.

But San Remo did not let everyone see improvement.

The second is the fifth round of the league, Lu Yang will return.

Lu Yang currently has huge traffic, and many media found that reporting on Lu Yang-related news had more clicks than reporting on the Serie B team's results.

For the sake of KPI, everyone can only pay attention to rookie competitions like Serie C against their will.

Finally, is the most important reason.

A few days ago, some media photographed Sophia boarding a plane from the Barcelona airport where the crew was located, and flew back to Italy.

If everyone's guess is correct, Sophia should be returning to San Remo to cheer for Lu Yang's debut in Serie C.

Such speculation was quickly confirmed by insiders of the <The Invisible Guest> crew.

According to an informed source. "Yes, Sophia went to San Remo. She didn't say the reason, but we could see that she was very happy. Before she left, she gave each of us a No. 24 jersey of San Remo, with Sophia's autograph on it."

"I think this is enough to explain the reason why she went back this time. We promised Sophia that we will pay attention to that ball game. We hope that the boy named Lu Yang can have a good appearance."

"Of course, I only have one request, don't kiss Sophia, at least not in front of the camera, I won't be able to bear it... That is the Sophia of the world, and we are not ready to lose her yet."

"Finally, I hope everyone will pay more attention to our movie, it will definitely not disappoint you!"

The interview spread quickly on the Internet.

There are many comments below.

In fact, it can be seen from the later high-level marketing cases that the exposure of these news was really coincidental.

Especially now that <The Invisible Guest> is about to finish filming and enter the critical stage of post-production.

Often before a film is ready to be released, it will find ways to create some news and gimmicks.

And now... all Europe knows that the new play directed and acted by Sophia is called <The Invisible Guest>.

Of course, everyone knows that Serie C has a return of the king drama about to take place.

This is a win-win marketing case.

In the mansion of Sophia.

"Your suggestions helped us save at least 30% of the publicity costs! You are really a marketing genius! You are simply good at everything!" Sophia helped Lu Yang brew coffee by hand, uh... while helping Lu Yang make coffee by hand, while praising Lu Yang.

You really can't omit a single word of this damn thing.

Lu Yang was helping Sophia find coffee filters and replied, "Don't say that, Sophia. In fact, I'm very grateful that you are willing to help out during the filming. Thank you."

Sophia turned around and looked at Lu Yang: "No need to tell me thank you, I am willing to agree to any request you have!"

After finishing speaking, Sophia deliberately took half a step in front of Lu Yang. Because she was shorter than Lu Yang, this distance forced her to raise her head and look at Lu Yang.

This kind of angle in which women look up to men is irresistible to many men.

You will feel that the woman standing in front of you is so petite and cute that you can't help but hug her, kiss her, and ravage her...

In addition, Sophia's white shirt today had not buttoned the top two buttons. Lu Yang's gaze could even go down Sophia's neck and peer into deeper secrets.

Sophia is confident, no man can stop her charm.

Sure enough!

The next moment, Lu Yang hugged Sophia.

Sophia was so excited that she felt the strong arms of Lu Yang.

This man's chest is as hard as iron, which is rapidly secreting dopamine in Sophia's body.

Sophia felt that his whole body was weak.

Her cheeks were red, she was dizzy, her hands were rubbing Lu Yang's back, her mouth was pouting obediently, looking for Lu Yang's lips.

However...

"That's great! Can you replace the football field outside with real turf?" Lu Yang directly picked up Sophia and spun it around three times. "This way Moric and I will be more comfortable when playing football. Using artificial turf for a long time will have an impact on the player's condition, which is not conducive to..."

To be honest, if Sophia wasn't being held by Lu Yang and spinning around, unable to free her hands, she would definitely slap Lu Yang in the face.

The queue of people chasing my mother stretches from here to the Pacific Ocean, and you actually mentioned turf, football and Moric to me?

FUCK Moric!

Can this person not show up again?

How many times has he ruined my mother's happy moments?

"Sophia, what's wrong? Is my request too much? You just said that I can make any request. I thought this was for you..."

"It's okay, I promise you." Sophia forced a smile and swallowed the sadness in his stomach.

Who could make me like such a man?

No way.

This ascetic and talented male god made me even more attracted to him.

The next day, the small football field next to the Sophia mansion began to be renovated and replaced with real turf, which cost a lot.

But Sophia and Lu Yang are not at home today.

Because they have arrived at San Remo Municipal Stadium.

Today is the day when the fifth round of the Serie C League kicks off.

It is also the first Serie C match day for Lu Yang.

Originally the fans were very dissatisfied with the team.

But after Sophia entered the stadium early, the fans finally gave the big star a face.

Even Sophia is still supporting San Remo, how could they, die-hard fans, give up so early?

At least the current San Remo is still second to last.

They finished last last year, so what else is impossible?

At least, let No. 24 play a game before we talk about it.

That person is the best at creating miracles, isn't he?

In the team locker room, Lu Yang is teasing Moric.

"My good brother, where are you carrying the whole team as promised? As the second captain of the team, I leave the team to you, is this how you help me lead the team?" Lu Yang patted Moric on the shoulder, "No way, right? The dignified Moric can't carry this Serie C's Galacticos, right?"

Moric's face turned red with anger.

One thing to say, Moric really doesn't stretch the crotch.

One goal and three assists in four games, what else do you want from him?

Five goals in nine minutes?

He is a human, not a god!

But no matter what... the team is in the running-in period, and with the black hole Baizami on the left, it is really difficult to win.

"Okay everyone, this game is my first game back. I hope everyone will give me some face and don't let these Serie C friends anymore, okay?" Lu Yang glanced at everyone in the locker room.

Some people smiled knowingly.

Lu Yang This is using the spirit of Ah Q to inspire everyone.

Let everyone not lose confidence.

This may seem silly, even sarcastic from some people.

But from what Lu Yang said, to be honest, you would be very willing to help him with this.

"Well, it's time for them to feel the strength of the former Serie D best defensive player." Rondo is very cooperative with Lu Yang.

"Italy's future midfielder said he must win today!" Moric also spoke.

"In this case... Milan's future No. 9 is going to go crazy!" Soguer also participated, looking very good.

"Viola Midfielder Soul Player Versace is here!"

"Inter Milan Avenger Baizami Never admit defeat!"

For a time, the entire locker room became a sea of middle school students.

This may seem out of place, but at least... the gloomy atmosphere of the previous four games without a win has been dissipated a lot, and the pressure on everyone has also been reduced.

And all the pressure of this game fell on one person.

That is Lu Yang.

As soon as he came back, he exercised his power as a team leader, allowing his teammates to smile with him and enter their own rhythm. Then he must also bear the responsibilities that a leader should bear.

Once the game is over, it continues to be winless.

Lu Yang must stand up and take the blame as soon as possible.

Just like in <Fifty Kilometers Peach Blossom Dock>, everyone cooperated very well with the first group activity after the first leader, Captain, took office, but the result ended in failure.

After that, the residents of the village were no longer willing to listen to his call.

And if the first event is successful, then it will be easier for him to summon fellow residents in the future.

Therefore, any team leader's first game, activity, etc., can only win, not fail.

Coupled with the arrival of Sophia, more media paid attention to this game. The consequences of failure in this game are far more terrible than the failure in the previous four games.

The double-edged sword brought by traffic is already hanging over Lu Yang's head.

Soon, it's game time.

Everyone walked out of the tunnel, and San Remo fans still gave everyone applause.

Especially when the commentator introduced Lu Yang, the applause was the warmest.

If Lu Yang's comeback cannot bring victory to the team, San Remo can basically announce their relegation in advance.

No exaggeration.

Beep!

With a whistle, the game officially begins.

Today San Remo's opponent is Serie C, the downstream relegation team Feralpisalò.

It's a very long name, let's just call it Fepi.

Although Fepi is a relegation team, they have not been relegated in the past five years, which shows that they actually have stable Serie C strength.

If you can't beat them, San Remo really can't be defeated by anyone in the Serie C arena.

Fepi serves the ball.

After a short period of organization, the opponent directly chose the left side of San Remo as the breakthrough point.

In the first four games, Baizami's black hole properties were clearly exposed.

Now all teams know this principle of playing behind Baizami.

The previous left back of San Remo was almost shut down in these games. Even under the repeated impact of the opponent's forward, his tired body was overwhelmed and he fell ill.

If Lu Yang doesn't come back in this game, Soto will really have no cards to play.

Baizami's defense is equivalent to not having it.

The opponent easily passed Baizami and rushed towards Lu Yang with the ball.

Lu Yang meets the opponent's right winger in a narrow road.

But the opponent was very smart. He directly knocked the ball with his heel to the right back who was catching up behind him, and then made a pass without the ball.

Lu Yang follow or not?

Hey, what about the right back of Fepi? If he runs a few steps with the ball, he can cross from the ribs, or even cut inside with the ball.

Not following?

If he doesn't follow, Fepi's right back will definitely pass the ball to the right winger at the bottom, and then the right winger will kick the ball and pass. This is also a successful tactic.

Such tactics are much more successful and there will always be goals scored.

This is how everyone defeated San Remo before.

It has nothing to do with the midfield, no matter how Moric is dispatched, it's useless, Baizami just misses people, and he can't do anything about it himself.

Defense is sometimes related to hard work, but sometimes it has nothing to do with hard work.

Baizami is the kind of person who cannot keep up with the other party even if he spares no effort to do so.

In an instant, Lu Yang took half a step back.

The opponent's right back was overjoyed. This was because he was ready to let himself go. That's right. No defensive player dared to aggressively grab the ball in this situation instead of retreating.

He raised his foot and took the football forward with confidence.

However... just when his foot was about to touch the football, Lu Yang, who was originally retreating, advanced instead of retreating and ejected directly over.

This is a fake move to retreat and then grab the ball!

It was too late, but it was so fast that even Fepi's right back reacted, but his body was no longer under control.

So what everyone saw was that the right back of Fepi took the ball too far, and the football became half a goal.

Both he and Lu Yang have a chance to control it.

At the critical moment, Lu Yang's explosive power was better. He poked the football first, passed Fepi's right back, and took advantage of the situation to directly complete the pass.

For a moment, there was only a vast green grassland in front of Lu Yang.

The birds in thousands of mountains have disappeared, and the traces of people in thousands of paths have been wiped out.

Lu Yang strode to the ball, Flank Speedster, started to take off!

"You go to the middle!" Lu Yang yelled.

Baizami next to him also reacted and quickly rushed to the middle. Although he will not move automatically, it would be much better if there is a voice prompt.

The two of them were like two bolts of lightning, cutting through the dark lawn.

Fepi's right center back wanted to come over to cover, but was blocked by Baizami who crossed over diagonally. He also hesitated in the choice of following Baizami or covering up Lu Yang.

Normally, defending the ball carrier is the first priority.

But Lu Yang is the left back.

And Baizami is a left winger.

From a functional perspective, Lu Yang is obviously not as threatening as Baizami.

The left and right backs at this stage are not yet the all-around full-backs of the second decade of the 21st century.

At this stage, most teams' requirements for full-backs are defense.

It is not unheard of for a full-back to assist or even cut inside, but many coaches will not allow such behavior.

Because such an insertion also means that you lose a side defense.

The effect of losing a wing defense can be seen by referring to the first four games of San Remo.

A lot of brainstorming swirled in the right back's mind, and he made a quick judgment based on his own experience and defensive system.

He followed Baizami and chose to let the team's midfielder cover Lu Yang.

Although the midfielder is coming back slower, San Remo's midfielder is still behind. This left back named Lu Yang can't possibly do it alone, right?

As a result, Lu Yang was released nearly 35 meters outside the restricted area.

It seems that this place is extremely far from the goal, and almost no normal players would choose to hit the goal in this place.

But this distance... Anyone who is familiar with Lu Yang knows what choice he will make.

Bang!

A shocking cloud-piercing arrow flew away.

Because the force is strong enough and there is not much rotation, the football is greatly affected by the airflow and sways significantly in mid-air.

Fepi's goalkeeper rushed to the left, but failed to hit the shaking football.

goal!

After a brief silence, the scene suddenly erupted into violent cheers.

The emperor of San Remo is back like this!
