On December 8th, the 18th round of the Serie C League kicked off.
San Remo challenges Cesena away from home.
San Remo, who had just played Italian Cup in the third round three days ago, faced a huge challenge in this game.
Their players are very tired.
Except for a certain Lu who actually had the energy to participate in an event two days ago, the other players felt as if their bodies had been hollowed out.
Before today's game, the media had already reported the news that Lu Yang attended the Sophia movie premiere.
It's different from the entertainment media perspective.
Most of these sports media criticized Lu Yang from the aspect of Lu Yang's professional ethics.
Even Izelet is not as arrogant as Lu Yang in taking time out from the already tight schedule to attend his girlfriend's activities.
But what these media don't know is that this event Lu Yang was prepared with the ball L'Équipe and was carried out only after obtaining the unanimous consent of the team.
Whether it's Soto or Russell, they all know that San Remo needs the public's attention.
This is one of the keys to whether they, the dark horse, can stay in the dark.
For players in lower leagues, widespread attention means they can fight to win.
Otherwise, they are already low-level players, so why bother to make things difficult for themselves? Isn't it a good idea to work hard and not make any effort?
Similarly, Martivni also strongly urges Lu Yang to participate in this event.
He is the person who needs the attention from outside the circle more than San Remo.
Therefore, the accusations from the sports media are just watering down for Lu Yang.
Mature public figures should learn to listen to the opinions of those around them, not the opinions of all netizens.
Because even if it is a soft girl coin, it cannot be liked by everyone.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game officially begins.
In this game, San Remo's cup-match sequelae were clearly reflected.
In the first half, they hardly made much achievements on the offensive end.
Although Lu Yang's running has not changed, the running of the three frontline players has obviously changed.
The retracement distance becomes shorter.
The running speed without the ball has slowed down.
There are fewer cross-covering runs.
Although their state may not change much when they have the ball, the changes in details when they don't have the ball are still reflected in the game.
This is what many fans don't quite understand, why a team's style of play and players have not changed, but sometimes the games they play just don't look good and even look a bit unsatisfactory.
That must be some kind of subtle problem with the team that affects the overall situation.
Football, from the moment the game starts, constantly deviates from the game arranged by the head coach.
These details undoubtedly accelerated the deviation of San Remo.
In the 40th minute of the first half, Fernandez was running slowly, and Lu Yang passed a through ball that was intercepted by the opponent's left back.
The opponent immediately launched a counterattack.
One to zero!
Cesena seized the opportunity and caught San Remo by surprise.
This may be a lucky ball, because when Nagy stretched out his foot to block the opponent's shot, it actually changed the path of the football.
Football changes!
Goalkeeper Jarrad correctly predicted the direction of the first impact of the football, but was unable to block the "second shot" from his teammate.
Nagy lowered his head, extremely annoyed.
He has never been a bad central defender.
In fact, under the training of Palacios, his defense has become more and more intimidating.
He has become the central defender who solves more problems for the team, with quite a bit of "football Destroyer" attributes.
But equally, he also has a big problem.
That's... an own goal!
Just like De Ligt who first arrived at Juventus, Nagy always brings inexplicable mistakes to the team.
De Ligt is a volleyball boy in football, who frequently scores points with handball.
Nagy is the Italy striker on the back line, who penetrates his own goal like crazy.
During the halftime break, Soto did not put too much pressure on its players.
He replaced Fernandez at halftime, asked the team to come on as a substitute right winger, and comforted Fernandez, telling him that this was not his problem, but to protect him.
Fernandez is actually not quite able to understand this at his age, but in front of Soto, no player dares to have a temper, so he nodded and said he was OK.
Similarly, center Soguer was also substituted by the team.
As a player of a major team, Soguer understands Soto's intentions very well.
"In that high-intensity cup match, you were fighting with the opponent's back line, which was very taxing on you." Soto said to Soguer, "But if you want to wear the No. 9 jersey of Milan, then you must work harder in terms of physical strength and confrontation."
"I suggest you not to relax on your own training, even during the holidays."
Soguer nodded, feeling a little excited.
This means that as long as Soto takes charge of Milan, as long as he meets Soger's requirements, there is almost no doubt that he will become the core of Milan's forward line.
That's Milan!
Serie A Super wealthy!
What's more, he is from Milan's youth training and has an incomparable desire for the Milan first team.
As a result, he regained his health a little bit.
At the beginning of the second half, San Remo's adjustment puzzled many people.
The commentator said, "San Remo is currently firmly in second place in the league, nearly ten points behind the third place in the league. Theoretically, if nothing goes wrong in the second half of the season, they have a high probability of being upgraded to Serie B."
"In this context, it is understandable that San Remo, who has just experienced a big battle, chooses to appropriately rest players."
"This winter break will be extremely important for them. They must adjust the status of their players and make appropriate signings."
"Before the winter break, they may also implement rotations in the next few games, which will definitely affect their record in the next period of time."
"Personally, I use the temporary fluctuations at this stage in exchange for a stable win at the end of the season. I also think the adjustment of San Remo is the best choice."
In the stadium, Baizami also received a signal from Soto.
Soto will replace him at about sixty-five to seventy-five minutes.
San Remo's trident will basically be exhausted at this stage. Although it is okay to continue playing, the risk of injury will greatly increase, so it is best to replace them before then.
Baizami, knowing that he didn't have much time, began to run actively. After retreating to meet Lu Yang, he handed the football to Lu Yang and then moved forward himself.
Lu Yang passed the ball past the opponent's defensive player and handed the football to Baizami.
Baizami rushed into the base, attracted the opponent's defensive players and then passed the football back to Lu Yang who was close to the ribs.
Lu Yang took the ball, and at least two players from the opponent pounced on it.
Cesena, who had a one-goal advantage, set up a bus in the penalty area.
Lu Yang relies on the opponent's defensive player.
The other party didn't give him a chance to turn around.
Under normal circumstances, if you don't turn around, you won't have a chance to attack.
This is also where Moric turns around and volleys the ball without stopping the ball.
He won't give others a chance to come up and press him.
This is a good way to handle it.
But there are others too.
For example, many physically strong players can rely on their opponents and use confrontation to seek opportunities.
However, there are also many players with flexible feet who can also solve this problem through technical means.
I saw Lu Yang leaning sideways against the opponent, looking like he wanted to go to the left.
Then he suddenly stepped out with his right foot and raised his left foot high.
This is a typical crossing action.
Opposing players quickly followed suit.
Who only knows that Lu Yang picked up the left foot lightly, hooked the football, turned around and lunged to the right in front of the opponent.
The moment he turned around, he gave the opponent a strong confrontation.
This is enough to keep the opponent in a stalemate for a moment and create a small space between the two for easy turning.
And because the ball passed behind Lu Yang's right foot, the opponent wouldn't be able to stop it, let alone react. Even if he reacted, it would be a foul.
People who are familiar with this action must know that this is Cruyff Turn!
A small skill that integrates speed, confrontation, flexibility, and foot skills to get rid of side defenders at close range.
After the last cup match, Lu Yang received two gift packages, one was Cruyff Turn and the other was Scoop the Moon from the Sea. This brought his ball control to 76 and tight ball control to 72.
In an instant, Lu Yang got rid of the opponent.
But there is also a defensive player on the right side of Lu Yang.
Lu Yang Step forward with your left foot and lift your right foot high.
This is a shot from the ribs outside the left side of the penalty area!
The defensive players rushed forward quickly, trying to destroy the football before Lu Yang shot.
However, Lu Yang still held the right foot lightly and faked the shot.
He hooked the football, turned his body, and sent the football from behind his left foot to the left.
Another Cruyff Turn in the opposite direction!
The two defensive players were staggered by Lu Yang outside the penalty area, and an excellent gap was revealed between the two.
Bang!
The football suddenly jumped out between the two.
Full of strength.
Due to the sudden incident, Cesena's goalkeeper did not expect that Lu Yang, who had no room to turn around, got rid of the two defenders in an instant and fired furiously.
In addition, the two defensive players swayed left and right, blocking his line of sight.
The goalkeeper didn't react much.
Lu Yang hit the near corner of the goal with his left foot, and the football went into the net!
San Remo equalized the score one to one.
Baizami rushed over and gave Lu Yang a hug.
Look, isn't this just another assist?
It is sometimes not difficult to become all-around, as long as you have an all-around teammate.
Cesena The situation of the players suddenly became embarrassing.
At halftime, the head coach emphasized defense because they were leading at that time.
But now they are falling behind.
The shortcomings of the team's inconsistent thinking were quickly exposed.
Some of Cesena's bus started to press forward during the attack. Some players thought they had a chance to defeat San Remo. They didn't want to just hold on to one point.
Their formation began to become fragmented.
Although there are still many people in the backcourt, in fact, it is no longer airtight.
Latuidi stole the ball in the backcourt and handed it to Versace immediately.
All-Round Midfielder Versace rarely used his offensive talent and found a fatal gap among many defenders.
He made a through pass and passed the football directly from near the midfield to the top of the penalty area in the frontcourt.
Unfortunately, the team's substitute center did not have a tacit understanding with Versace. When he discovered this pass, it was actually a little late. He was destined to miss the pass by about half a meter.
Many people are secretly lamenting the pity.
If it were Soguer, this wonderful scalpel-like through ball would definitely be caught by him, and then a simple adjustment would result in a shot, with a high probability of scoring a goal.
Although Soguer is also a big center, his starting speed is really not slow among forwards in the same weight class.
"You keep running!"
San Remo The substitute center heard such words, so he continued running along the route he took to catch the ball, even if he couldn't catch the pass at all.
But half a meter away from him, a figure "intercepted" the football in advance.
"Oh! It's Lu Yang! Lu Yang received this through ball."
"Unfortunately, Lu Yang received the ball with his back to the goal, so he couldn't shoot the ball right away."
"Lu Yang There is a defensive player coming up on the right side, and he can't adjust."
"Not only that, the running position of center San Remo overlapped with Lu Yang, and the central defender behind him immediately came behind Lu Yang. This was a bad running position. The next moment the football at Lu Yang's feet would be stabbed by the central defender who ran over by accident."
Sure enough, Cesena central defender was overjoyed.
Originally he was following the center San Remo, but unexpectedly, he instead focused on the more threatening Lu Yang.
This is the legendary God's work.
Coupled with Lu Yang's movement to turn around, the center back was less than half a meter away from Lu Yang, making a steal every minute.
Bang!
Cesena's central defender held Lu Yang's waist with both hands, stretched out his foot and poked Lu Yang's right foot to catch the ball.
However...
I saw Lu Yang gently pick up the instep of his right foot.
The football flew behind Lu Yang's head.
It also flew over the head of Cesena centre-back.
Because he felt the opponent's pull, Lu Yang was able to accurately judge the position of the central defender behind him. He turned left, like a top, and entered the penalty area from the unguarded left side.
With a turn, Lu Yang still blocked the opponent's central defender behind him, but at this time, the two of them had changed from facing away from the goal to facing the goal.
Lu Yang raised his foot and hit the football falling in the air with a not-so-powerful Instep Volley!
Hit the ball into the far corner!
It doesn't require much strength, Lu Yang's kick emphasizes the angle more.
The football hits the net with precision.
The opponent's goalkeeper was obviously a step too late.
Several other surrounding defensive players had just looked from top to bottom, and before the football landed, the football flew into their own goal.
They really didn't expect this scene.
That defense just now was definitely a sure thing!
But under the double-teaming of two people, Lu Yang magically got another chance to hit the goal.
Extraordinary challenge!
Scoop the Moon from the Sea!
Lu Yang really outdid Cesena in this game.
Where is this rough guy's midfielder?
This is simply a technical midfielder that is more Brazil style than Izelet!
"GOAL!"
"Sure enough, the San Remo team is in a sluggish state today. But every time like this, Lu Yang will bravely stand up and win one victory after another for the team."
"Today, he made two technical moves to get rid of the opponent's players, making people feel like they were dreaming back to ten years ago!"
"In Lu Yang, we saw the shadow of a classic midfielder for the first time."
"Perhaps we pay too much attention to his statistics and off-field news, and thus ignore that he is actually improving on this court."
"He is getting more and more accustomed to playing as an attacking midfielder."
"From the defensive midfielder's playing style at the beginning, to the roaming support throughout the field, to the midfielder Cannon Shooter, to the clever passing from the front midfielder position, and then to today's wonderful person who uses technical means to defeat the opponent's defense. He has come all the way from an engineer player to become a well-deserved core player on the court!"
"Let us shout his name together... Lu!"
This goal became the last goal of the game.
San Remo relied on Lu Yang's two goals to reverse the score 2-1 and narrowly beat Cesena.
After the game, Lu Yang's score reached an unusually high nine points.
Before this, because Lu Yang's playing style was not in line with the mainstream, the ratings were often not high.
Today, his playing style has finally begun to conform to mainstream aesthetics.
But this won't be the norm for Lu Yang.
Because he knows that the so-called mainstream now will sooner or later be abandoned by the future.
The most important ability in the future template of the attacking midfielder position is to deliver the ball with one kick.
From this point of view, Totti and Kaka are more in line with future tactical requirements.
Here, Lu Yang can only say sorry to Zidane!
Although I haven't gotten your skills and Moment Card yet, I think it won't be very good if I get them.
If Zidane knew Lu Yang's inner monologue, he would definitely tell him, it doesn't matter. Do you want to know about Ben Xuanzong's red card in the 2006 World Cup final?
<San Remo's forward players are in a physical crisis, how far can they go in the future!>
<Analysis of Soto 4213 tactics, the average running distance of the front trident exceeds the average running distance of Serie C and Serie B strikers by 30%! >
<Tactical flaw, Soto thinks everyone is Soto!>
<In order to build the core offensive system belonging to Lu Yang, Soto sacrificed the future of the Trident! If this continues, San Remo players will be destroyed by injuries sooner or later!>
<Averaging more than 10 kilometers per game! Fernandez is just an eighteen-year-old kid!>
<The running range covers the penalty area to the midfield. When Lu Yang returns to defense, Soguer is even more like a midfielder!>
<The hard-working black whirlwind Baizami ranks first in the entire Serie C in sprint distance per game and top five in the entire Italy football league, but he is also less than nineteen years old!>
<Averaging 12,000 runs per game! Lu Yang's running distance ranks first among Serie C's!>
<In less than half a season, there have been as many as seven games in which the running distance exceeded 13,000. Lu Yang tied the running record set by Serie A Iron Man last year!>
<With more than three games of running distance exceeding 15,000, young player Lu Yang became the first person in Italy football marathon!>
<San Remo is not something to be proud of because they are overdrafting their forward players!>
<League Cup wants it all in the competition, but beware that it will all come to nothing!>
<The greedy Soto will ruin the current good situation of San Remo!>
<Waste player! How will such Soto succeed Milan in the future?>
Martivni's opponents obviously showed their strength. In the media, mainly <la Repubblica>, they made a special note of San Remo's unconventional substitutions in the last game.
At the same time, some running data of San Remo so far this season are listed.
Don't tell me, what they say does make sense.
In fact, this is exactly what Soto is worried about.
Lu Yang Fortunately, it is also an invincible one.
But other players can't do this.
In the feedback report from the team doctor, it has been clearly stated that the muscles of the two wingers are in a state of tension, and they must control the next game time, otherwise there is a risk of injury at any time.
Soto began to contact some clubs of Serie B and Serie C, hoping to talk to them about the transfer of players in the winter window.
But the uncomfortable part is that the prices charged by these teams are very high.
Almost all of them are sold at a premium.
There is no doubt that these people are determined to eat San Remo.
On the one hand, everyone now knows that San Remo is not short of money.
On the other hand, everyone also knows that San Remo aims to reach the second level and will not give up the cup competition. If they want too much and want to strengthen, they will inevitably be blackmailed by others.
Finally, San Remo has already experienced a certain physical crisis and is in urgent need, which gives others the opportunity to rip off her.
One week later, Serie C is the nineteenth round.
San Remo versus Fano.
In this game, San Remo's forward team performed quite well.
Baizami assists Soguer to score.
Fernandez assists Lu Yang to score.
Lu Yang assists Versace to score.
A wonderful 3-0 win!
The forward players including Versace all gained.
But these goals all happened sixty minutes ago.
In the 65th minute, Soto replaced the frontcourt trident with a wave of his hand.
Since then, San Remo has not been on the offensive again.
In the next game, if Lu Yang hadn't completely devoted himself to defense, San Remo would have probably lost the ball, and there would have been more than one.
This once again highlights the important role of the San Remo trident.
If Lu Yang is always the one who provides help in times of need, then the San Remo frontcourt trident is the icing on the cake.
Without Lu Yang, it would be hard to win for San Remo.
But with only Lu Yang and no frontcourt trident, San Remo's offense will be infinitely close to zero, and we can only look forward to Lu Yang's magic ball.
After all, Lu Yang's offense has been almost touched. Rather than saying that he is willing to run around the whole court and constantly assist his teammates, it is better to say that he needs to use his own and his teammates' running to organize the team's offense and create murderous opportunities.
His explosive offensive power is not only based on those magic balls, but also based on the running of his teammates with him as the center.
It can be said that since Moric's injury this season, the San Remo Trident has made extra runs to serve Lu Yang.
If Lu ** prepares the kind of control that Moric has, the frontcourt may be much easier for the Trident.
This situation is not unique to San Remo.
Implementing the mountain, Premier League giant Liverpool also actively introduced Thiago for similar reasons in order to solve the problem of the team only running without midfield.
But unfortunately, their move was a little late. Coupled with the intensive competition problems caused by the epidemic, they encountered a major injury wave in a certain season, which made the team difficult to move forward.
This may become the epitome of San Remo's second half of the season.
If they don't have strong signings.
In the next two games, this was confirmed again.
In the twentieth round, San Remo met Serie C's old rival Turris.
Turris, who lost Diego Talista, are no longer sharp this season. They are currently ranked second to last in the standings.
San Remo beat Turris four to one.
Lu Yang scored two goals and provided one assist in this game. He is still the star among stars.
Soguer One goal and one assist.
Baizami scored a goal.
Fernandez and Versace both provided an assist.
It still looks like there are more flowers.
But this is also based on match data from seventy-five minutes ago.
After the two wingers were replaced, San Remo made more mistakes in the frontcourt and lost a goal.
Because the winter break is approaching, the league is rushing to progress.
Three days later, the twenty-first round kicked off.
San Remo is still playing against his old rival Francavilla.
Last season Francavilla once ranked first. In the later period, due to injuries to the core of the striker, it continued to decline and once missed the play-offs.
But in the end, their front line came back and defeated their direct competitor Bisceglie in the final battle, allowing the opponent to stay in Serie D completely.
They did not miss the opportunity to win the promotion play-offs. After defeating their opponents in the play-offs, they successfully promoted to the C League.
Of course, Francavilla is also struggling in the Serie C league. They are currently fifth from the bottom in the standings, and their biggest goal this season is to avoid relegation.
In this game, Baizami and Fernandez suffered from cramps in the first half, which is extremely rare.
After replacing them, San Remo was once scored by the opponent and fell behind.
Until the 80th minute, Lu Yang and Soguer worked hard at the same time and played a series of coordination in the middle.
Soguer is like a midfielder, giving Lu Yang a good cake.
In turn, Lu Yang is like a good fulcrum center. Bengbu Spin passes the ball to Soguer to help him score.
Both of them passed and shot, killing their opponents.
At this point, San Remo has only one last battle before winter break!
Their frontline issue finally met the scrutiny of the media and was officially brought to the forefront!
San Remo track and field team may be in a physical and injury crisis!
