In the second half of the game, the offense of both sides still failed to improve.
Venice's offense is not strong. After Lu Yang returned to defense, they rarely made threatening attacks.
But similarly, even Lu Yang retreated to defend, and San Remo's offense was even less promising.
Around seventy minutes, Venice changed three people in a row, obviously preparing for a last ditch effort.
For them, relegation is the top priority, but Italian Cup is equally sweet and delicious. Every time they go one more round, they get more money and quench their thirst.
And Soto began to think about life.
Substitution now, what if overtime is played?
Beretelli's physical strength does not allow him to perform vigorously for more than half a game.
His skills are very good, but his physical condition declines very quickly, otherwise he would not be able to only play as a substitute in Serie B.
So Soto only replaced the tired Rondo with Camihon.
Facts have proved that Soto is very thoughtful.
Both sides also had little success in the second half, and the game entered overtime.
This is also two consecutive overtime games for San Remo on Italian Cup.
Soto was replaced by new veteran Beretelli at this time.
Lu Yang noticed that Fernandez was limping a little when he came off the field.
When people are extremely tired, they will subconsciously show some true states.
I'm afraid one of Fernandez's legs is not in very good condition.
Sure enough, after the game, Fernandez found the team doctor and asked for ice to be applied to his thigh.
On the court, Beretelli is actually not faster than Fernandez, but his skills are very good, and his dribbling rhythm is somewhat different. He can often wipe out defenders with his technical movements and stop-and-go bursts.
If he were at his peak, he would probably be a core player.
Perhaps in the same way, his body and explosive power limited his performance on the Serie A field, which is why he failed to gain a foothold in the Serie A field.
Sometimes, just a few subtle differences can determine whether you are a mediocre player or a much-anticipated star.
If this difference can be made up through training, then it must be made up.
If it is irreparable, then you really have no choice but to accept your fate.
And those players who are talented but squander it are really annoying.
In the 98th minute of the game, Beretelli once again passed the opponent's player and successfully made a pass. After passing the opponent with a fake pass, he started to pass again.
At this time, Soguer's position is no longer sudden. He is wrestling with the opponent's center back.
But it was this pause that not only gave Beretelli a better space to cross, but also freed his field of vision from being blocked by the opponent's defensive players.
He saw a better position than Soguer!
Bang!
Starting from the wing!
The football flies high.
Neither Soguer nor Venice's left center back touched the football.
Then the football passed them and fell quickly.
This ball was not passed to Soguer.
Soguer and the left central defender realized this at the same time.
The right center back, who was keeping a distance from the Venice left center back, was about to use his head to hit the football away.
This height is a little awkward.
He took off and the ball was too low for him.
If he moves forward without jumping, the ball will be higher and may not touch the football.
He could only wait where he was before he could click the football away with his head.
His judgment of where the football will land is accurate.
But what he didn't know was that a figure suddenly jumped out in front of him.
Bang!
The football's path changed instantly and it crashed into the net.
"GOAL! Well done!"
"Go-ahead score! San Remo takes the lead again!"
"Beretelli's passing is so beautiful! Whether it is the timing or the passing path, he is a top choice! He is San Remo's super support! He got an assist in his first appearance for San Remo!"
"Although saying this is a bit offensive to the other strikers of San Remo, Beretelli does come to San Remo to help the poor with technology. I hope that the strikers of San Remo can seize the opportunity to learn from Beretelli."
"It's Lu Yang! He went straight from outside the penalty area to the penalty area. When Beretelli passed the ball, Lu Yang was at least two meters away from Soguer and the two central defenders. But when the football came to the center, he jumped out, grabbed the ball in advance, and knocked the football into the goal!"
"Oh! Lu Yang flew so high. After hitting the football, he landed heavily. This fall was not light."
"This is a difficult point where you may be injured. We all know that Diving Header can indeed expand the range of header points, but the general height of takeoff is at the player's chest or even below the waist."
"And this time Lu Yang takes off, it can leap over many short players!"
Bang!
Moric, who was watching football at home, smashed the remote control board angrily. Commentator, who are you mocking?
Is it that difficult to give an accurate number?
"Perhaps everyone doesn't understand this metaphor, but let's put it this way, Lu Yang's soaring height has exceeded 1.74 meters!"
Moric died.
In the remainder of the first half of the overtime, San Remo mainly focused on defense. And due to the restraint of Beretelli on the right, their aggressiveness was not lost.
Unlike Baizami who rushes forward from the left, Baizami can only counterattack.
When Beretelli encounters an opportunity to counterattack in the frontcourt, he can dribble the ball himself, or he can transfer it to Baizami who has escaped from the defensive players in a wide range. He can also choose to protect the ball and wait for other players such as Lu Yang and Versace to come up, and then launch a wave of attacks that are neither fast nor slow, between counterattacks and positional battles.
His threat on the court has increased dramatically and cannot be ignored.
Fernandez, who was on the bench, looked at Beretelli, who was showing off his experience, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Boy, you have to watch out. You and Beretelli are the same kind of players. You should kick out threats like him!" Tom came over to comfort Fernandez, "Learn his playing style and ask him for advice. Beretelli is not a difficult player to get along with."
"Of course, you don't need to be jealous of Beretelli. This is the experience he has accumulated from more than ten years of playing football. It's amazing that you can absorb it in the next one to two years. Soto is willing to wait for you, do you understand?"
Fernandez looked at Tom, his eyes turned red.
"In addition, your condition today is not very good. I will carefully consider your physical condition and decide your next playing time. You have to cooperate with the team's arrangements and you can't train yourself any more. Do you understand?" Tom said, "Not everyone is Iron Man. You need to rest. You can't use Lu Yang as your own benchmark, because you are not the same kind of people. He is a pervert, and you are a normal person."
Fernandez nodded in confusion.
On the court, as the second half of stoppage time began, Beretelli's threat gradually diminished.
He changed his playing style. He no longer focused on fancy breakthrough attempts, but switched to simple one-kick kicks.
At the same time, his running is not as active as before.
Lu Yang can feel that Beretelli is reducing his own consumption.
His frighteningly short stamina gauge gives him only about twenty minutes of prime time to perform.
He is destined to sit on the bench and serve as San Remo's surprise player in the second half of the game, unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of starting.
Therefore, Lu Yang took the initiative to adjust the focus of attack from the right to the left.
In terms of looking at the overall situation, he still has "Lu Qiqi".
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
Lu Yang As soon as he came to the left, he encountered a desperate press from the opponent.
Venice doesn't want to lose either.
This is already the fourth round.
Although the bonus is not high, if they enter the fifth round, the opponent will most likely be the Serie A team, and they will be able to earn enough tickets by then. Not to mention that their head coach needs a decent result to stabilize his job.
However, after Lu Yang came to the left, he directly cooperated with the left back substitute Camihon for two consecutive games. The smoothness was simply terrifying.
Lu Yang was playing football purely subconsciously, and he didn't have much time to observe Camihon.
But being able to successfully hit the wall twice in a row was, if not because of a tacit understanding, then because one of them had observed the other's playing habits.
Obviously, Camihon pays great attention to the core of the team Lu Yang.
He knows that Lu Yang likes to catch the ball, kick the ball, then turn around and continue running.
A player of this style really doesn't look like a core midfielder.
But Lu Yang plays like this.
After hitting the wall twice, Lu Yang found that there was a smooth road ahead of Camihon, so he directly handed the football to Camihon, ran towards the middle, and took away the opponent's midfielder.
Baizami also started cutting inside without the ball.
The opponent's right back had no choice but to let go of Camihon and choose to defend Baizami.
Playing wide rather than playing centrally is one of the choices many full-backs have to make, especially before their own midfielder returns.
Bang!
Camihon did not hesitate, Cross from the Baseline took off.
It was Lu Yang again, rushing forward and rubbing the football backwards.
Everyone in the penalty area failed in their first jump.
But Soguer shows the vitality of young people.
After running for nearly 120 minutes, he quickly bounced his header twice and knocked Lu Yang over and the football hit the goal.
"Roar!"
Soguer screamed excitedly and kept beating his chest.
Around the stadium, fans celebrated wildly.
"In, in again! Soguer killed the game!"
"Lu Yang This Backward Header Flick is so sudden, no one thought he would do this! Except Soguer!"
"This is the tacit understanding that belongs to San Remo!"
"Of course, we have to say that one-third of the credit for this goal must be placed on San Remo's new player Camihon. His continuous collision with Lu Yang even reminded me of Ping-Pong Dribble between Lu Yang and Moric."
"His Cross from the Baseline shows his good footwork. I have a hunch that the joining of Camihon may bring new changes to San Remo's left wing!"
"San Remo has been flying together as two forwards, and combined with Lu Yang, it has shown great power. So what if their full-backs also join in and become a real two-winged team?"
"It's really exciting!"
"There is no doubt that we can announce in advance that San Remo's signing this season has been successful!"
"Of course, I know there are still many fans who are looking forward to San Remo's big signings in the winter window, such as Aguilar from Roma, Becherci from Imolese, and River Plate's talented striker Maximi Ferreira."
"But I want to tell you that even without them, San Remo is already powerful enough!"
"Let us congratulate San Remo in advance, they advanced to the fifth round of Italian Cup and set a new record!"
In less than five minutes, with a gap between two goals, Venice knew he had no chance.
After all the time was consumed, the Venice players left the field with regret.
Their Italian Cup journey has come to an end.
But here at San Remo, it can be said that the gongs and drums are noisy and firecrackers are blasting.
"Ding! You lead the team into the fifth round of Italian Cup and get a random gift package."
"Ding! You have obtained player-level skills, Manual Spin."
Lu Yang looked at the panel and was speechless for a moment.
Manual Spin?
Could it be the Manual Spin that uses the hand as the supporting axis to make a circle?
Are you sure this isn't a hip-hop move?
The Black Afraid Boy Lu Yang will be online soon, I'm asking you if you are afraid!
"The introduction of Beretelli is simply a wonderful move! Coach Soto's move is so clever!" Moric has not yet left Sophia's home.
As long as Sophia doesn't go home, Moric won't pack up and get out.
This is the tacit understanding between the plastic sisters.
In fact, Sophia has given Moric the right to use a certain servant's room on the first floor.
Unless Sophia comes back, Moric can always live here, supervise, oh no... accompany Lu Yang.
And Moric is also very sensible. He will move into this house the day before Sophia comes back and the day after he leaves. From now on, the king will never see the king again!
"Camihon is also very good. It has one more outlet, which is really comfortable for a player like me." Lu Yang also appreciates San Remo's performance in this winter window.
However, according to Fernandez's recent performance, if he does not adjust his condition in time, he may be put on the bench after Moric recovers.
By then Versace will most likely play Fernandez's position as a pseudo-right winger.
The hexagonal omnipotent warrior is not covered.
Anyway, the real murderous potential of San Remo on the right wing in the future will only appear when Beretelli comes on the court after seventy minutes.
"Fernandez should have put too much pressure on himself. He needs to get enough rest, but he doesn't know this." Moric speculated.
"By the way, I heard that Becherci hasn't transferred yet, so he probably won't be able to leave this winter window." Moric smiled, "Roma only offered two million, and Imolese won't be satisfied with this price."
"The prices of Brescia and Sampdoria are not enough for them. They want four million! Can you believe it!"
"A player with only a half-year contract costs four million! The famous Serie A star may not be so valuable!"
The two talked and laughed, and then came to the training ground. As usual, Lu Yang further improved various technical movements under the guidance of human coach Moric.
On January 26th, the winter break gradually ended, and the 23rd round of the Serie C League kicked off.
San Remo VS Grosser.
At this time, there are only the last three days left until the end of the winter window.
But in this game, San Remo received some unfortunate news.
Fernandez, who originally only had 60 minutes of playing time, suffered an injury in the 30th minute and was forced to retire. Beretelli came on as a substitute early.
Soto and Tom were both frowning at the scene. They predicted that Fernandez was in poor condition, but it was a little late to make adjustments.
Similarly, the two of them looked at Baizami.
This kid... I hope he can hold on.
This injury substitution made Soto decide. In the next game, he will let Versace or other substitute strikers rotate Baizami appropriately to give him time to rest.
Even if it means sacrificing some league results, it doesn't matter.
San Remo has now won ten consecutive league victories.
The gap between them and third place is still widening, and they are even close to catching up with the equally crazy top spot in the league in the first half of the season.
There is little pressure for them to upgrade.
Therefore, ensuring the health of players and maintaining competitiveness in cup competitions has become the top priority.
During the halftime break, Soto made decisive adjustments, and Camihon replaced Rondo.
On the one hand, it is for the health of Rondo, and on the other hand, it is also hoped that Camihon can bring improvement to the team's offense.
And the effect came out quickly.
Beretelli was full of threats in the 20 minutes after he came on the field, contributing two threatening crosses and a ground roll pass.
It's a pity that neither Soguer nor Lu Yang seized the opportunity.
But this also made Grosser's left wing uneasy, and he had to do his best to encircle and suppress Beretelli.
In the 50th minute, right winger Beretelli suddenly moved in a wide range and passed the football to left back Camihon who came in from the left wing.
Camihon is in an excellent position, passing the ball at a 45-degree angle and accurately delivering it into the penalty area.
Soguer overshot a little, but it didn't matter. He overpowered the crowd and pointed the football toward the outside of the penalty area.
There, Lu Yang volleyed the ball directly into the net!
San Remo finally takes the lead!
But the good times didn't last long. At the 78th minute, it was clear that Beretelli couldn't run anymore, and his threat quickly decreased.
The opponent's player hit Beretelli behind with great ease.
When two players collided with the ball and passed Versace, the opponent had a good shooting opportunity in the rib area.
San Remo The right back Mathias belongs to Defensive Full-back and is not very fond of the former. In addition, he is used to Fernandez's retreat to assist defense and positioning, so there is a huge gap between Mathias and Beretelli.
Nagy was forced to grab.
It was also passed by the opponent in a one-two.
Palacios had to follow.
Then the opponent pushed forward to the empty forward. The opponent made a slight adjustment and shot an angled shot, leaving Jarrad unable to recover.
One to one!
Grosser rejection failed!
Beretelli is a double-edged sword. Within twenty minutes, it is extremely lethal.
Within forty minutes, he brought more benefits to the team than harm.
But once this time is exceeded, he will do more harm than good.
No team likes this kind of man who is "three seconds fast and not durable".
Except San Remo.
But after losing his main right winger, San Remo also began to love and hate Beretelli.
"That's not Beretelli's fault. He is the player who best suits our current team structure." Soto was firm.
"Mr. Russell, I'm afraid they are about to take action." Tom looked embarrassed.
The two of them reached a tacit understanding and stopped talking.
Because sometimes, facts make all rhetoric pale and powerless.
San Remo really needs to bring in another main winger.
There are really very few players on the market who are capable of taking on this important task.
Mr. Russell is now full of confidence in the team and is willing to invest in the team, which is already very good.
Anyone who stops Mr. Russell at this time is really going too far.
Almost at the same time, in the private room of the stadium, Mr. Russell excitedly dialed his phone. "Scott... Yes, that's right, win Becherci, we need him... No problem, meet all his requirements... I think everyone in the team will welcome his arrival!"
After hanging up the phone, Russell felt happy.
Scott is his new sports director.
In addition to being responsible for sports matters, he will even consider some economic issues for Russell.
"Need more Lu Yang and Moric" was the slogan put forward by Scott, which quickly gained the favor and trust of Russell.
Of course, Russell remembers the agreement he made with Soto and gives Soto the maximum power to recruit people, and he only needs to match the funds.
But Soto spends money very sparingly, which makes Russell wonder if Soto is used to being poor.
He wanted to tell Soto that even if you want Serie A star, I can still find a way to buy it for you.
Not a star in his twilight years like Latuidi, but one who still truly has peak combat effectiveness.
Regarding this, Soto actually had something to say but did not tell Russell.
That is, do you really think the team's future expenses will be very small?
Do you really think that a salary of two to three hundred thousand can keep Moric and Lu Yang?
Next season, if you don't prepare tens or millions, Arthas will let you go?
Stop joking!
Including goals, assists, championships, honorary bonuses, etc., Lu Yang's average salary in the next two years will definitely not be inferior to any Serie A star.
In this case, you really have to spend money sparingly.
If the team successfully enters Serie A, then it won't be a matter of three to five million to recruit!
Money should be spent wisely!
But Soto told Russell about these things, and Russell may not be able to understand them.
Everyone has some differences in the team's business philosophy.
Because Russell has already accepted Scott's concept of "cultivating more Lu Yang and Moric" in advance.
He is willing to spend a lot of 3 to 5 million to scratch lottery tickets, but he will not be willing to spend 1, 2 to 3 million to bring in real strong reinforcements in the future. He will feel that it is not worth it.
But laymen like them have no idea how many lottery tickets it takes to get one of players like Lu Yang and Moric?
Ten?
Twenty?
Fifty?
Not even one can be scratched out of a hundred.
Sports Director Scott?
He knows a thing or two!
On the court, the 86th minute of the match.
It looked like it was ending in a draw.
It's Camihon again. As a left back, he plays with Baizami and takes away a defensive player.
Baizami who was trained by Lu Yang can still learn basic hemming.
Then Baizami passes the ball to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang takes the ball in the ribs, which greatly increases the threat.
He raised his feet, making the other party extremely nervous.
However, Lu Yang is just a fake shot.
Cruyff Turn successfully wiped the opponent.
It was already the last moment, and the opponent didn't think much about it. Even two meters outside the penalty area, the opponent resolutely committed a foul and pulled Lu Yang.
But Lu Yang starts very fast.
He was not completely pulled down by the opponent.
Instead, he put one hand on the ground and barely maintained his center of gravity.
At this time, the opponent's central defender came to grab the ball.
Lu Yang used his hands as a pivot, moved his feet quickly on the ground, and used his butt to block the opponent's upward attack.
This terrible action is very unappealing.
But he blocked the opponent extremely forcefully, with great effect.
Manual Spin, battle in the whirling world!
Lu Yang, who had gained a moment, suddenly exerted force on his legs, pushed himself to the side, and then kicked the football out with his feet while he was falling.
The football passed under the defender's crotch.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the opponent's goalkeeper didn't expect Lu Yang to hit his butt just now, so he shot the ball, so he didn't make a save at all.
Bang!
The football hit the net, neither too fast nor too slow.
