Fermana is unwilling to settle for a draw. After all, the previous four rounds of defeat have made everyone define San Remo as Serie C's underdog.
If even San Remo can't defeat it, why should Fermana pursue this year's upgrade quota?
Fermana The whole army attacks and cuts San Remo's right side hard.
Although Lu Yang is more likely to be stolen when attacking along the way, in terms of difficulty, the right side of San Remo is actually relatively weaker. After all, there are two super defenders Lu Yang and Latuidi on the left.
San Remo The right back Mathias fouled outside the penalty area, received a yellow card, and gave the opponent a well-positioned free kick.
This time, even Soguer came back to act as a human wall.
Bang!
The opposing player's footwork was very strong, and the football went directly over the wall and toward the goal.
If it were San Remo's goalkeeper last season, there is no doubt that this would be a goal from Fermana.
But luckily, San Remo summer brought Jarrad from Serie B Perugia.
Jarrad predicted the opponent's ball path correctly, stood well, and blocked the football with both hands in time.
There is also a certain amount of luck involved.
The football was caught by Rondo, and he kicked the ball directly.
Baizami got the ball near the midfield and started to move forward quickly.
At the same time, San Remo, there were two figures here like arrows, one on the left and one on the right, rushing out.
The one on the left is Lu Yang, and the one on the right is Moric.
Moric is positioned further forward, but Lu Yang is obviously faster.
The two of them advanced together, and when they approached the midfield, Baizami was surrounded by the opponent and could not break through.
Baizami immediately wanted to pass the football to Lu Yang.
But at the critical moment, he accidentally remembered what Lu Yang said before.
So Baizami looked at Lu Yang, and then passed the football to Moric on the other side.
Fermana's midfielder Leg-Stretch Interception, he has already figured out Baizami's playing habits.
Although this kid is fast, he is not a big threat. In addition to leading the football into a dead end, he will only pass the ball to Lu Yang.
So Fermana's midfielder anticipated Baizami's pass in advance.
As long as the ball is passed to Lu Yang, he will definitely be able to intercept it.
That's the defensive smarts...wisdom...of football.
"Oh! Moric got the ball! Baizami made a beautiful pass from left to right. I didn't expect that he could also be fancy. When the ball reached Moric's feet, the threat was greatly increased. Let's see how Moric will deal with it!"
"Moric dribbles the ball at high speed, the opponent player intercepts, Moric passes the ball to Lu Yang."
"Wow! It's so fast! Lu Yang passed the ball directly without stopping. He and Moric made a hit-the-wall coordination and passed the opponent's midfielder."
"Oh my god! Moric also kept passing the ball, and in turn, he also hit the wall to coordinate with Lu Yang! Ping-Pong Dribble! This is the signature stunt of Lu Yang and Moric, the pair of San Remo Twins, and it is also a reflection of their tacit understanding."
"This is a three-on-two frontcourt! San Remo has three offensive players here, while Fermana only has two defensive players."
"Baizami pulls to the side... Oops! Baizami's terrible movement, at this time he should obviously go straight into the middle. His movement overlaps with Lu Yang, and Lu Yang is also pulling to the left."
"This is Baizami. His movement makes San Remo equivalent to losing one person. Fermana's defensive player can even be responsible for guarding two players. He only needs to react to the one who cuts inside."
The commentator saw it very clearly.
Baizami and Lu Yang are on the left, one behind the other.
Moric faced the opponent's defense and passed the ball directly to the left.
It was passed to Lu Yang!
Lu Yang took the ball, his speed did not slow down, and he started to cut inside with the ball.
All the other party's attention came to Lu Yang.
But Lu Yang suddenly slowed down after taking a step inside and raised his left foot.
Cross!
Lu Yang actually chose to cross?
There is only Moric in the middle, and it is impossible for him to compete with Fermana's central defender.
This was an extremely bad choice.
But I have to say that this choice is very "left-back".
After all, the left back's more choice is indeed to cross.
Pass...
Wait!
Is Lu Yang a left back?
Fermana's players were stunned.
I saw that Lu Yang's raised left foot did not pass the ball, but passed over the football, and then knocked the football with his heel.
The football instantly bounced from behind Lu Yang to the right.
Cristiano Ronaldo's heel knocks the ball and changes the direction!
The football flew two meters away.
Lu Yang has the action of decelerating in advance. After knocking the ball, it immediately exerts force and chases the football.
The opponent was completely unprepared and turned around and slipped to the ground.
Lu Yang is completely empty!
Lu Yang is on the white line on the left side of the penalty area, capable of passing and shooting. The opponent's central defender who pounces on Moric doesn't even know what to do.
Fermana The goalkeeper can only attack.
A few dozen minutes ago, Lu Yang blasted the goal from almost the same angle, but five or six meters further away.
Now, in the same position, Lu Yang's feet feel better, and Soto's first-layer special effects of Perpetual Motion Machine are also activated, so he has no reason to miss!
Bang!
The opposing goalkeeper quickly went to the ground and made a ****.
He judged that Lu Yang would choose to shoot the ball. This was the goalkeeper's hunch.
He was right.
But...Lu Yang The goal was Rising Shot, not a ground ball shot. The football flew half a meter above the goalkeeper's head, and the goalkeeper was helpless.
"The ball goes in, goes in, goes in!"
"Beautiful heel knock to change direction, Lu Yang's breakthrough is so practical!"
"This trick looks simple, but it's not that easy to actually use, and it requires a lot of body control and explosive power from the user!"
"I have to say that Lu Yang's shot was really accurate. His feet feel very good today!"
"Five goals, this is Lu Yang's fifth goal in two games. His efficiency is terrifying!"
"I remembered what coach Feralpisalò said in the press interview after the last round. No one can guard a team with two left wingers."
"On the court, many goals are actually foreshadowed. In the first half, before Lu Yang scored, he actually tried a shot from this place, but the football did not completely catch it and was slightly 20 centimeters higher than the goal."
"That attack didn't attract everyone's attention, but looking back now, Lu Yang's two subsequent goals were both in this area."
"Lu Yang has probably found his sweet spot for scoring goals!"
The sweet spot originally refers to a spot on a golf club that is most suitable for hitting the ball. The hitting feeling at that place is completely different from other places.
Later it was extended to other sports, such as basketball, which refers to the point where a player has the highest shooting percentage.
In football, it also has this meaning.
Of course, in football, we prefer to use a certain area to describe it.
But Lu Yang has not yet achieved that kind of regional dominance, so it is called the sweet spot.
When one day, he will feel frightened just by standing in this position to defend players, this place can be called "Lu Yang Zone".
"Your feet feel so smooth today!" Moric came over. He got another assist and led the team to victory.
Today's victory was hard-won, and Fermana made Moric feel very uncomfortable.
"I think it has something to do with my lucky sunglasses." Lu Yang thought of the sunglasses he kept in the dressing room, and he was already intoxicated by the milky fragrance on them.
It was a smell that made him feel reassured, calm and happy.
"They shouldn't let Lu Yang kick the ball casually." Soto was analyzing Lu Yang's recent goal with Tom, "Lu Yang has been in good shape in this area recently. Once he finds the feeling, every kick he makes is extremely threatening."
Such situations do exist.
For example, on European Championship in 2021, Italy National Team's starting left winger Lorenzo Insigne from Napoli football club scored a world-beating goal on the left side of the penalty area against the world's No. 1 Belgium National Team.
It is worth mentioning that shortly after the start of that game, Insigne actually had a very threatening shot attempt from the same position.
Although he didn't score a goal, both the arc and the strength of the ball were very good.
This undoubtedly allows Insigne to find its feet here.
The goal that subsequently killed the game was indeed in this area again, but its power and accuracy were improved.
That's predictability in football.
Beep beep beep!
With three whistles, the game ended with a score of 1 to 2.
San Remo won its second consecutive victory of the season.
In the first six games of the season, they had two wins, two draws and two losses, accumulating 8 points and escaping from the relegation zone in one fell swoop.
The head coach of Fermana said in an interview, "We are the side that does better, but we don't have Lu Yang!"
This sentence completely established the reputation of Lu Yang in Serie C.
Because Fermana is not a relegation team, but a proper strong team Serie C.
<The wolf is coming! The Chinese defender has five goals and one assist in two games, averaging three goals per game!>
<Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? The King of Serie D is moving forward!>
<Super killer! His name is Lu Yang!>
<Seeing injustice, help! Star of Italy Team shines forever Serie C!>
<Four games with one goal, three assists and zero wins, and two games with three assists and two wins! With Lu Yang, Moric is a phenomenal midfielder who can lead the team to win statistics and wins! >
<World wave professional! Serie C youngster Lu Yang scores goals like crazy!>
Soto was quite emotional when he saw the news coming out one after another.
Lu Yang has adapted very well to the intensity of competition at the Serie C level.
This is inseparable from Star of Italy's training, which made him grow a lot.
Now Lu Yang even has the feeling of an all-round warrior, he can do any job.
Even Soto has doubts. Will Lu Yang really grow into a second self in the end?
Although he felt that he could kill everyone in the lower leagues back then, but... well, Soto admitted that at least his shooting was far inferior to Lu Yang.
This kid has no template at all in Europe football.
Some people may think that he looks like themselves, he looks like Carlisle, he looks like Best, but Soto knows that neither of them is true. Lu Yang's habit of playing football is like coming from another world.
Who taught him that aggressive full-back-as-winger style of play?
Ordinary young generals don't say whether they dare or not, they simply can't even think about it.
"Lu Yang, it's time for us to discuss your playing style." In Soto's office, there were Tom, Lu Yang and Moric.
The problem they have to solve today is... Lu Yang's offensive and defensive problems. Lu Yang may not always play at left back, but... Lu Yang can appear at the left back position whenever necessary.
Therefore, Lu Yang needs a specific left-back tactic.
Can offense and defense be combined?
Some people say yes.
Some people say no.
This is actually quite correct.
Yes, it means that if a player is good enough, he can indeed have strong offensive and defensive abilities at the same time, just like Lu Yang who is currently wreaking havoc on Serie C. This is in terms of ability.
No, it's in terms of space and time.
If you want to attack on the court, you must go to the offensive third zone. If a defender goes to the offensive third zone, there will be no one in the defensive third zone.
The so-called three zones refer to dividing the football field into three parts: the front, middle and back. The area close to the opponent's goal is the offensive third zone, the midfield part is the offensive second zone, and the backcourt is the first offensive zone.
The defense is the other way around, your own side is the defensive zone three, and the other side is the defensive zone one.
No matter how powerful you are, there is only one of you.
In fact, Lu Yang has encountered this situation before.
That is when he plays as a central defender, even though he has strong offensive ability, once he plays, there will be a huge hole on the defensive end. This is caused by the particularity of the defender position and is almost irreparable.
The reason why I say almost is because... in Modern Football, there was a way to make up for it later.
The first one is fill-in.
Let the midfielder fill the gap after Lu Yang is inserted, which is part of the chain defense.
In these two games, Latuidi tried this approach.
The advantage is that it does have a certain effect, but the disadvantage is that the area that Latuidi was originally responsible for is freed up, and it is easy for others to take long-range shots in the ribs.
A better way is actually to change the formation.
Later, many strong national teams did this, which is the so-called dynamic formation, but now, this is still very advanced.
The four defenders changed into three defenders, and the five defenders changed into four defenders, all in order to free up their full-backs and let them help the offense. At that time, the requirements for full-backs were getting higher and higher, and it was far from the current situation where the strong player plays in the center and the weak player plays on the side.
After Soto finished speaking, Lu Yang communicated his thoughts with Soto.
That is to say, when he comes in, the team changes from a four-back lineup to a three-center-back lineup. Latuidi does not need to fill in, so he will not be out of position.
On the contrary, Latuidi, who is sitting in the midfield defense, assumes the defensive midfielder position, which can actually strengthen the team's defense.
In this way, the team's defense will not have any problems, and Lu Yang can be completely liberated.
The only player who needs to pay more is the right player. They will lose their offensive nature. The right back Mathias will lose the power to go forward and concentrate on defense.
The right winger Fernandez will also lose support and become a right midfielder that looks like a right winger.
But whether it is Soto, Tom, or Moric, they all support the idea of Lu Yang.
After playing six games, it has long been obvious whether San Remo's right wing can take on the offensive responsibility.
Mathias Although he is at his peak, he is not excellent on the offensive end.
Fernandez is not suitable to play as a right winger.
This approach, while liberating Lu Yang, also puts them in a better position.
Therefore, San Remo's formation still looks like a four-three-three, but during the attack it will actually change to an irregular three-five-two or three-four-three.
As for which one it is, it depends on how radical Lu Yang is.
This is a change of formation centered on personal offense. It is a special tactic belonging to Lu Yang alone, but it requires the cooperation of the whole team.
I have to say that this is a proper treatment for the core of the offense.
Moric is not bitter about this at all. After all, the more Lu Yang shares, the less he bears.
When one day Lu Yang's playing style becomes a regular tactic, then Moric can fully display his accelerator talent.
Only like that San Remo will be stronger.
Instead of what is happening now, Moric must spend his energy on conventional tactics, so that he does not have enough energy to seize the opponent's loopholes and carry out fatal transmission.
The two complement each other, but... Lu Yang is somewhat more popular.
As the core of the team, Moric tends to get higher ratings in tactical evaluations.
But as a sharp knife on the court, Lu Yang has more advantages in data and performance.
The latter is often more refreshing.
Because the former needs the affirmation of others and lives up to the reputation of being awesome in other people's mouths. Master tacticians were far underestimated before the sport of football was completely scientific.
The latter is the one who enjoys himself, who can decide whether he is awesome or not at any time, and who holds his destiny in his own hands.
