The game with Renate gave Lu Yang the player skill "One-touch Passing".
This is a very basic skill, but it can also be called a magical skill, especially for midfielders.
The meaning of basic never means that it is very simple, but that it is used frequently and is a prerequisite skill for various advanced skills.
There are many people who know basic skills, but there are very few people who can practice basic skills to perfection.
To put it bluntly, football is nothing more than passing, stopping and shooting, and One-touch Passing is one of the most basic abilities required by professional football.
As its name suggests, it can greatly improve a player's ability to hit the ball with one kick.
It doesn't just refer to the threatening ball in the last pass, even if it is just a normal pass, a kick is also very important.
Lu Yang's long pass has therefore reached 70, and short pass has reached 65, approaching the level of Serie B.
After this game, San Remo's opponent in the second round of Italian Cup was also announced.
They are very unlucky.
Because their opponent is the Serie B team Brescia.
That's right, Serie B!
This is something Soto never expected.
Although in his idea, San Remo would not meet the Serie B team, but that would only be in the fourth or fifth round.
But this time... we encountered the Serie B team so early, after their core midfielder was injured and retired.
For a moment, it seemed as if all kinds of bad things were approaching San Remo, commonly known as a ghost.
In response to this, Italy la Repubblica, who had a bad relationship with Lu Yang, started to dance around.
They began to publicly criticize Lu Yang and badmouth San Remo.
<Joke! The pass success rate is 75%, and the key pass success rate is less than 50%. This is not even a qualified midfielder, but he is the new core of San Remo's midfielder!>
<There were only two threatening passes in the game! With such a core midfielder, whoever gets involved will be unlucky!>
<Exposed shortcomings, he is just an engineering player, admit it, San Remo!>
<Zero goals! Lu Yang who came to the center has lost his ability to score goals, he can't even kick the ball!>
The newspaper even opened a special column to track and report the competition between Lu Yang and San Remo.
They analyzed Lu Yang's performance in the past three games in detail, especially comparing Lu Yang with some outstanding midfielders.
Don't talk about Lu Yang. If you compare him with top midfielders like Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets, Kroos, Alonso, David Silva, and De Bruyne, it's hard to compare.
Moreover, la Repubblica also selectively forgot the goals and assists data obtained by Lu Yang in these games, as well as the winning streak it brought to the team.
Don't ask why people are paying attention to Serie C's football match, because Sophia angrily attacked la Repubblica before, making la Repubblica embarrassed in front of his peers across Europe.
Now, just to vent one's anger, it would not be too much to dedicate a section of the newspaper to revenge.
Even, la Repubblica found that the news attention of this section was not low.
You can make money by venting your anger!
Is this such a good thing?
Can you believe it?
This once again proves that for ordinary people, football is indeed not as attractive as entertainment.
Because Lu Yang's influence in the entertainment industry is far greater than his influence in football.
Many people who are not fans will also read la Repubblica's report on Lu Yang.
In this regard, Lu Yang was interviewed before the eleventh round.
Lu Yang: "To be honest, after watching la Repubblica, I even thought we lost the last round. Fortunately, Italian Football Federation was firm enough and did not judge us as a loser or deduct our points based on la Repubblica's evaluation, because what la Repubblica said seemed to be true."
"Also, regarding the fact that I didn't score in the last round... why would anyone ask me this question? I even had to check Serie C's current scorer list. Fortunately, I am still number one on the scorer list, otherwise I would definitely doubt whether I know how to score goals."
"Six games, nine goals and four assists, and an average of more than two goals per game. This performance cannot conquer la Repubblica. It seems that their vision is really high. I hope they can find a player in the Serie C field whose data can crush me, otherwise I'm afraid they won't be able to compile it."
"But fortunately, I don't need to conquer la Repubblica, I just need to conquer the team's opponents."
Subsequently, the eleventh round of Serie C started.
San Remo VS Arezzo.
Lu Yang scored a wonderful goal in the game and responded to someone who asked him before the game whether he could not score the goal.
This goal, to a certain extent, is a typical Lu Yang goal.
At that time, Lu Yang was holding the ball, but there was no outlet for the ball. Facing the opponent's double-team, he used a Flip Flap to pass two people and directly dribble the ball from the center.
Then he Stepover wildly, forcing the opponent's defensive players to retreat all the way.
When Lu Yang came to the penalty area, he was surrounded by the opponent's defensive players.
There were three people on the other side attacking.
Lu Yang carried three people and made a Marseille, no, it was half a Marseille Turn.
He didn't seem to be proficient in mastering this movement, and it was difficult for him to truly complete a 360-degree rotation.
But this does not affect his ability to use this move to surpass others.
After circling the football twice in a row, Lu Yang surprisingly escaped from the three-man double-team.
No one knows what the name of the technical move Lu Yang should be called.
But Lu Yang knows.
Because this is the famous Bengbu Spin!
It may seem like a mess, but actually everything is under control.
Using physical confrontation to move around in the enemy's double-team, this ball protection is simply like Henry.
Bang!
Lu Yang, who came out of trouble, shot directly and scored a wonderful one-stop goal.
The entire scoring process is very characteristic of Lu Yang.
But it is not a conventional, midfielder-type goal.
This is also a controversial point.
Lu Yang achieved the best Lu Yang, but failed to become an excellent midfield core.
Therefore, San Remo was quickly equalized by Arezzo.
In the subsequent games, both sides struggled very hard.
Until the 85th minute, Lu Yang once again gave up his core playing style and took the risk to rush forward with the ball. When there were too many defensive players in the middle, he chose to pull to the right.
Then a resigned, powerful sweep pass came in.
The football hit the opponent's centre-back and bounced into the net.
This is an own goal!
With this own goal, San Remo scored another victory, two to one.
This is their seventh consecutive victory in the Serie C League.
After the game, although Lu Yang was once again awarded the best player of the game, his rating was not high, only 7.2 points.
This is enough to prove the overall depressed state of San Remo.
If Lu Yang was not the core of the midfield and did not need to take on the task of arranging the midfield and organizing the offense, then his performance today with eight points, five points and nine points would be nothing.
But unfortunately, as the core of the midfield, he did not perform well in the organization, and the goal he conceded had a lot to do with him.
If it hadn't been for an own goal in the end, Lu Yang would probably have been rendered as San Remo's sinner by the media after the game.
This situation of not being able to win makes San Remo very difficult.
On November 3rd, the last Serie C game before the second round of Italian Cup.
San Remo VS Carpi.
In this round of competition, San Remo finally stopped winning as expected.
If it weren't for Lu Yang's header at the last minute, they would have even suffered a defeat.
But even so, many football media are like celebrating the New Year, happily shouting all over the world that San Remo finally didn't win.
It makes others think that San Remo is some great team.
Looking at the results, it's not the Serie C team. What's worth promoting if they don't win?
The media of these black teams are so black that you are stunned, right?
"Ding! You encountered the first draw in your career and received a random gift pack*1."
"You have gained player-level skills, Forward-Surging Attacker."
"Forward-Surging Attacker, you are born to attack. Even if you are in the midfield, you are very eager for the opponent's goal. You can see the route forward more clearly, and you know where you should run. When you are in the opponent's half, your speed, dribbling, passing, and shooting will all improve slightly."
This is a very sharp offensive player skill.
Lu Yang's offensive movement, short passing, and dribbling abilities also improved by two points each, reaching 70, 74, and 67 respectively.
Thinking about his awkward playing style recently, Lu Yang knew that he had to change.
He has tried hard, but it turns out that he is not suitable for the core playing style, at least not yet.
So... he decided to free himself.
Boom, boom, boom!
Lu Yang knocked on the door of Soto's office.
The person who opened the door was Tom, but Maniero was also inside. They seemed to be discussing something.
"Lu Yang, you came just in time, come and watch this game. This is Serie A's latest round of Milan Derby broadcast video. This game is very exciting. The current Serie A Superstar Ricardo Izelet dominated the game with a hat trick, leading AC Milan to narrowly defeat Inter Milan three to two." Maniero was very excited.
Although his club and the two Milan are mortal enemies, the thing he is studying now only belongs to football and is temporarily separated from the grudges and grudges of the club.
Lu Yang looked at the computer.
On the screen, a sunny young man who loves to laugh is speeding on the green field.
He is so fast that no one can catch his shadow. He shines like a shooting star.
With just one glance, Lu Yang was sure that the star named Izelet was the Son of God in this world!
"How is it? What do you think?" After watching for a while, Maniero asked Lu Yang.
"He is very strong, he is at ease, and he is a step above other players on the field! Serie A is worthy of his reputation as the number one superstar!" Lu Yang didn't know what Maniero was asking, so he could only answer like this.
Sure enough, Maniero shook his head. "I mean, are you... willing to let you play football like this?"
Boom!
In the flash of lightning, thoughts were flying in Lu Yang's mind. He raised his eyes and began to analyze the real thoughts of Maniero and Soto.
Lu Yang looked at Soto.
Soto didn't show any surprise. Obviously, this was the method he and Maniero discussed to save the team.
Lu Yang swallowed.
This... Originally, he just didn't want to play as the core of the midfield, and planned to retreat to the defensive midfield. Leave defense and counterattack to him, and leave the rest to fate.
But unexpectedly, Soto and Maniero actually advanced instead of retreating, not only making Lu Yang the core of the midfield, but also pushing Lu Yang's position forward.
This is crazy...
So bold?
Maniero saw that Lu Yang did not refuse, and immediately smiled, "More than twenty years ago, you and I were in exactly the same situation. Although our technical characteristics are different, the difficulties we faced were the same."
"At that time, I chose to retreat and become a core player. Later, this even became a trendy style of play, allowing more midfielders like me to take on heavy responsibilities."
"But with the acceleration of the pace of football, the core-back style of play is gradually no longer applicable. The overall level of players has increased, and it is difficult to find defensive flaws by observation alone. You must have enough impact to find opportunities to kill the opponent in high-level games."
"In my fantasy of future football, the core should gradually move forward and fall on impactful players. When they have opportunities, they can seize them as soon as possible."
"And that's something rear cores can't do."
"Izelet's kicking style has this futuristic quality. And you... do you want to try it?"
Lu Yang smiled.
Midfielder!
Maniero actually suggested that he play as an attacking midfielder.
Just ask, who can refuse to move forward on the football field?
Kimmich, Alaba, Bale, everyone is digging forward, because the superstars in the frontcourt will always shine brighter than the superstars in the backcourt. This is an indisputable fact.
Looking at Lu Yang who was thinking, Soto spoke, "There is a difference between the core and the core. You may not be able to become a core like Moric, but... you can become a core like Lu Yang."
In a word, be yourself!
The two big guys said this, which is equivalent to saying that even if something goes wrong, they will take the blame and you can kick the ball however you want.
Lu Yang What else is not satisfying?
So, Lu Yang nodded heavily.
Then in Tom's desperate eyes, Lu Yang started a heated discussion with Soto and Maniero. He had some recent discoveries and confusions that he needed to communicate with the two tactical masters.
Maniero smiled slightly, why did the two master tacticians talk about it?
The puppet Tutu is just a mediocre person, why should I care? A hero has a great ambition and a good plan. Today, the only heroes in the world are you and me!
During the communication process, Lu Yang was convinced and started drawing pictures directly with Maniero. Soto was mainly responsible for erasing the blackboard.
In the room, Tom's despair was justified.
Lu Yang can't even play the rear core well, so why should he play the front core?
Izelet can do it, because Izelet is a top star, and his abilities in all aspects are first-class or even super-class. If he doesn't play as an attacking midfielder, he will be equally good as a forward and midfielder.
Where is Lu Yang?
This is not a matter of looking down on one's own people, this is a real issue.
But soon, Maniero gave his answer.
"Your speed is not absolutely fast, but... the same is true for Izelet. However, he can always give people a feeling of being as fast as lightning. This is because of his dribbling rhythm and breakthrough choices. Pay attention to this place and see how he plays..." Maniero pointed at the screen, "And here, have you noticed Izelet's running?"
"His running this time was very smart... and this, his passing at high speed seems to be a test of passing footwork, but in fact the real test is the player's vision and ability to capture opportunities."
"You may be lacking in passing skills, but in terms of vision, I have great confidence in you. This is also the most important reason why I suggest you play this position."
"In fact, Moric can also play in this position. Although his impact is not enough, his quick passing and shooting can create new threats in this position. He can even change the attributes of the attacking midfielder position like Izelet."
"But... in the same way, you can make different changes in this position. Especially the irregular Marseille Turn you made under the opponent's press in the last round of the league, let me see your potential in this position."
Looking into Maniero's eyes, for some reason, Lu Yang always felt that Maniero was looking at his own son.
But you said that is called irregular Marseille Turn, my great emperor Li Yi is going to have a bad temper!
The look in Maniero's eyes was exactly the same as the look in Soto's eyes when he looked at Lu Yang.
This is an ideal sustenance and a better fantasy for myself when I was young.
"Ding! You have activated the special mission, Maniero's Outlook."
"Maniero's outlook: Due to limitations of size, speed and the times, Maniero's understanding of football has not fully become a reality. In football, there are still many things that are beyond his reach. You will become Maniero's best-looking person and complete his guesses about future football on his behalf."
"Task reward: Superstar skills, Maniero's envy of Iron Man (injury immunity). Ball-star skills, Kaka's Long Stride. Player-level skills, Outside-of-the-Foot Mastery."
Lu Yang looked at the taskbar and instantly understood Maniero's enthusiasm.
When God opens a door for you, he will also close a window.
Maniero's football career is perfect, but he can never see the scenery ahead. He can only sit in the midfielder position and win the game thousands of miles away.
Although it is full of the demeanor of a wise man and a coach, it also lacks a bit of the passion, excitement, blood and decisiveness of the front line.
Maniero must be preparing something. With his understanding of football, he cannot be idle all his life.
Serie A More than six teams have invited him, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1. Teams everywhere have invited him to coach. But he has never agreed, so his goal is actually obvious.
Either wait to take over his parent team Juventus, or... take over Italy National Team and lead the team to complete the task they failed to complete that year - European Championship!
In an instant, Lu Yang woke up with a start.
He looked at Maniero and nodded heavily.
No one knows what he promised Maniero, including Maniero.
What he promised was not to help Maniero test a new way of playing, but to help Maniero fulfill his dream and touch the glory of Delaunay Trophy!
