"Welcome to San Remo, I will help you integrate into the team as soon as possible." Lu Yang stretched out his right hand.
Becherci looked at Lu Yang, held Lu Yang's hand, and said slightly, "Thank you for your kindness. I also hope that I can bring something different to San Remo."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the teammate with a higher level of mutual quotient in the team was already sweating.
Lu Yang's words implicitly point out his protagonist status.
I'll help you, understand.
Becherci's answer reflects his confidence in himself. He believes that San Remo's original structure will not restrict him, whether it is playing tactics or relationships within the team, etc.
This is the confidence of an absolutely powerful person and a star player.
After that, the others sparsely expressed their welcome to Becherci.
In the afternoon, team training match.
Lu Yang did not play. He stood on the sidelines and followed the developments on the court with Soto.
Becherci held the ball and after trying it out with the defender, he easily passed the substitute defender.
Then he continued to dart at the ribs of the penalty area. After some maneuvers, he finally came to the inside of the penalty area and scored a close-range shot with a tricky angle.
"How is it?" Soto asked.
"My personal ability is indeed quite strong." Lu Yang replied.
"What do you think of this ball?" Soto asked again.
"If it is an advantageous game and there are more offensive opportunities, then after the first pass, you can take a shot from the ribs and try to shoot." Lu Yang said, "If the team is lagging behind or the offensive opportunity is hard-won, then after the first pass, when attracting the opponent's double-team, passing the football to Soguer, who is already open, or even to Baizami, who is cutting inside without the ball at the top of the penalty area on the other side, is a more threatening option."
"In order to be safe, he did not take a long shot outside the penalty area. However, he later did something more risky than a long shot. He hit the goal after a one-on-one in the penalty area."
"This offense does seem strong enough, but the overall idea is inconsistent. That shot was very reluctant. If our opponent was the goalkeeper of a high-level team, it would have been saved with a high probability."
"Of course, to be able to complete a complete shot in that environment, personal ability really doesn't matter."
Lu Yang did not belittle Becherci excessively, but did not praise him either.
Becherci Lu Yang has seen players with this kind of playing style and ability.
Star of Italy Team's number one star, Ceballos, plays with this wing-core style.
This season Ligue 1 Monaco Ceballos has gotten more playing opportunities.
Next season, another wing core in their team will definitely be bought at a high price. By then, Ceballos will usher in a period of skyrocketing data. In two or three years, he is estimated to cost at least more than 30 million to be traded to a wealthy club.
The future is very promising.
But Ceballos also played a lot of time as a substitute and non-core player before that.
"He does not trust his teammates." Soto hit the nail on the head, "He is willing to make some simple passes with his teammates, but at critical moments he only believes in his own personal abilities, whether it is passing people or hitting goals."
"This is one of the habits cultivated by the core of small teams. Sometimes, it will hinder their further growth. This cannot be changed in a short while."
"At this time, very direct instructions are often needed to let him distribute the ball and so on."
"But... this kind of instruction would make him very uncomfortable."
"I will tactically require him to cooperate with his teammates as much as possible in the offense. But when it comes to the game, the only one who can control and remind him will be you."
"This may affect your relationship with each other, especially... if he does not recognize your status."
Lu Yang didn't speak, but just told Soto a piece of news, "Arthas said that he recently wanted to renegotiate my contract with the team. But I blocked it..."
Soto was stunned.
Blocking for what?
Although renegotiating the contract in half a season seems a bit greedy on the part of the players, but... this is also a decision made when the team was "unjust" in the first place. In theory, it is reasonable and reasonable.
"I asked Arthas to have a good talk with the team in the summer. I don't want the team to have any players with a higher salary than me other than retired veteran stars who are not joining for free." Lu Yang raised his eyes, "I don't hate others being paid more than me, but I don't want this to be a sign that they mistakenly think they can challenge me."
"At that time, Mr. Russell will definitely understand this."
This summer, Lu Yang will ask San Remo for a high salary that is enough to prove his team status.
Lest there are always people around Russell who feel that Lu Yang is too cheap and that the team still has a lot of salary to sign stars who may not meet the requirements of the team and the head coach.
Soto frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Yang said, "In the next game, I will let Becherci play the football he wants to play. If he can indeed shoulder this important task, then I will cooperate with him in the next game just like I cooperate with Moric."
"But if he can't do it, I hope he can obey the team's tactical arrangements."
All are football players.
Since we are challenging Lu Yang, we can only compare on the court.
If Becherci can also obtain what Lu Yang led the team to achieve, then he should indeed receive core treatment.
But if that doesn't work, then you should stay wherever it's cool.
Soto thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I will make appropriate adjustments. But we don't have much time. After two rounds, it will be Italian Cup's fifth round. In this game, I hope we can go further, because the opponent is not too strong to be invincible."
San Remo's opponent in the fifth round of Italian Cup is actually an old enemy of Lu Yang.
He is also the current leader in the second division standings of Italy, Chievo!
They are a team that is beyond the level of the second division league. They played Serie A last season.
There were many reasons why they were relegated last season, one of the most important ones was the discord between their powerful strikers, so one of them was loaned to the Serie D Turris team.
And it turns out that the one who is loaned out may be the one who can handle things better.
Because this season, with both the star striker and the head coach leaving, the Serie B striker once again carried the team far ahead of the other Serie B teams.
Brescia, Benevento, these strong Serie B teams that aspire to reach the top of the league are all suppressed by Chievo.
And that striker is named Diego Talista!
I originally thought that the next fight would be on the stage of Serie A.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yang would meet his old rival again so soon.
To be honest, Lu Yang is a person who cannot accept being betrayed in front of an "old friend".
He didn't want to lose at all in the match with Talista.
So he must resolve the recent turmoil within the team before that happens.
On this point, he and Soto agree very much.
On February 2nd, just two days after the winter window ended, San Remo ushered in its second game after the winter break.
They play against Arezzo, the current leader in the standings Serie C!
The two teams played against each other last season, and San Remo won at that time, but it was very difficult to win, and it all depended on Lu Yang's winning goal.
Like San Remo, Arezzo is very stable in the league. San Remo had three draws and two losses in the first half of the season and won all the remaining games. The result was three points less than Arezzo.
Therefore, this is a super match worth six points, which is likely to determine the Serie C championship this season.
As soon as the game started, Arezzo set up a 352 or 532 formation.
This is their second formation, not their first choice.
But they believe that such a formation can establish a tactical advantage against San Remo.
They relied on their numerical advantage in the midfield to attack Sanremo's lack of midfield weakness, and forcibly divided Sanremo's front and backcourts.
In order to survive the half, San Remo had to increase the retracement efforts of the two wingers and even the center.
This is intentional to further wear down San Remo's already tired wingers.
It was also because San Remo's full-back did not have the ability to intervene.
This is indeed a tactical crushing.
And that's from a long-term perspective over the entire season.
If other teams insist on this style of play and increase the burden on San Remo's wing, then San Remo may face a new wave of injuries at the end of the season.
At that time, even if San Remo can advance, he will lose the qualification to compete with Arezzo for the Serie C championship.
After half a season, it is normal for the opponent to find out the shortcomings of the San Remo formation. None of the teams that can lead the standings can do nothing.
"Why don't you come up? What are you afraid of? Play with me and we can fight!"
San Remo's starting right winger Becherci is quite dissatisfied with his right back Mathias.
Becherci does not want Mathias to transform into Italy, the legendary full-back Taji. He just needs a tool to help him share the defensive pressure and bump into a wall with him.
But Mathias is a defensive right back, especially when Lu Yang is playing left back, Mathias has to swing to the right among the three central defenders at any time.
In his bones, there is no gene for stepping forward and taking risks.
This is both his shortcoming and his advantage.
Many people say that Lu Yang's all-around playing style damages the creativity and room for improvement of his teammates.
But the premise is that teammates must have the space and willingness to improve.
In fact, to put it another way, Lu Yang's all-round playing style was born to make up for the shortcomings of his teammates and allow them to play in the most comfortable state.
Fernandez couldn't rush forward, and Mathias was unwilling to take the risk to intervene. When Lu Yang responded on the right side, it naturally retreated deeper.
Baizami is not good at cooperating, Rondo is too slow to catch up, Lu Yang likes to dribble more when connecting on the left, and only plays with Baizami in the offensive third zone, and then gives Baizami room to play.
Whether the versatility of teammates harms the development of others is actually worth discussing.
Many media have previously accused Soto of playing in a way that requires the whole team to run in coordination with Lu Yang and make sacrifices.
But there is no other way. Lu Yang is actually sacrificing himself for everyone.
But Becherci is different, he requires the whole team to serve him alone.
When he needs to hit the wall, you have to come up and be the wall. Even if you lose your defensive position because of this, I don't care!
When he needs to open up, you have to help him open up space. Even if you don't actually meet his point of release once you open up, he doesn't care.
Then when he needs support, he will complain about why you are so far away from him. As for the reason, he doesn't care. He wants him to feel that he won't listen to any explanation.
In short, on the court, he Becherci is not wrong, it is everyone else who is wrong.
How can this make teammates happy?
Soguer helped him pull the ball twice, but what he got in exchange was "Why don't you grab points in the penalty area? I just had a good passing opportunity and went straight into the penalty area!".
Soguer Spread your hands, OK, see if I can help you out later.
Baizami runs regularly and cuts inside without the ball, but what he gets is "Can you stay on the wing? You have brought all the defenders to my side. Am I going to fight one against three?"
Baizami is full of questions. Why don't you seize such a good opportunity? This is what Lu is best at. Are you good at it?
Versace stepped in to assist, and Becherci's pass was an opportunity, but he complained that Versace's running blocked his breakthrough direction.
Versace looked like he had eaten shit.
I can't run faster without the ball than you can run in circles with the opponent with the ball?
I've already run two meters in front of you. Do you blame me for blocking your running route?
Did you apply for a route with the Civil Aviation Administration of China when you were playing football?
No one else can appear in front of you when co-writing?
Even the super engineer Latuidi, who was sitting in the defense and almost never pushed forward, was accused by Becherci of "Why didn't you come forward to respond just now? You are the midfielder, you can't be an invisible person"!
Latuidi I'm so angry that I can't even say anything. Co-authored by me, Serie A is the best midfielder, best defensive player, Tackle King, etc., so unworthy?
This season, Latuidi is currently Tackle King in the Serie C league. His steal data is better than Lu Yang who is running all over the field. This is enough to show his importance. How can he be called an invisible man?
I am a defensive midfielder and my speed is already slow. My responsibility is only defense, do you understand? As soon as I come up, people can hit the front of the penalty area every minute. If you lose the ball with the team, it has nothing to do with you, right?
After half the game, Becherci made everyone angry.
During the halftime break, Becherci also specifically found Soto. He believed that the current team system needs to make major changes and he needs comprehensive tactical support.
Soto agreed to him, and then emphasized some things Becherci needed when arranging tactics.
"Mathias, at the appropriate time, you can step forward." Soto said.
"Ah? What about the gap behind me after I go up?" Mathias looked embarrassed.
"Lu Yang will make up for it," Soto said, "Versace, pay attention to where you are running, go to the right side more often, and leave the middle area to Becherci who cuts inside. He prefers to move in this area."
Versace nodded helplessly, thinking that he wants me to play wide or even on the bottom, how about I play as a right winger?
"Latuidi, when you can, switch positions with Lu Yang and try to participate in the attack." Soto continued, "Baizami, please open up more space. Today your main task is Cross from the Baseline."
"Soguer, live in the penalty area and put pressure on their central defenders to prevent them from being distracted and going to Becherci's side."
After some arrangements, everyone was confused.
This tactic actually sounds quite familiar.
If you look carefully, isn't it just to let Becherci hold the ball in the ribs?
Isn't this the kicking style that Lu Yang is best at?
However, although they both hold the ball in the ribs, Becherci and Lu Yang have completely different needs.
Lu Yang needs his teammates to get close to him, cross paths with him, and provide him with cover.
And Becherci needs more space.
There are two reasons for this different demand.
The first one is that Becherci's personal ability is stronger, so he doesn't want his teammates to "block" him.
The second is that Lu Yang's vision is so strong that it can capture any route that can deliver a fatal threat pass or a threatening shot in a complicated environment.
The advantage of Becherci is the disadvantage of Lu Yang.
The advantages of Lu Yang are also the disadvantages of Becherci.
This is how we have two playing methods for the same position but with different needs.
With the team serving them, how much threat they can create in the ribs will be the only criterion for judging which of the two is more suitable to stay in this position.
It is true that there is nothing wrong with letting Becherci move here and Lu Yang retreat to the midfield.
But... if Becherci is not efficient enough, why should Lu Yang sacrifice its versatility to become Becherci?
He doesn't want to be the player hurt by his versatility!
Paul Pogba plays as a defensive midfielder, Antoine Griezmann plays as a defensive forward, Kimmich and Juan Cuadrado play as right backs, and Douglas Costa keeps changing sides. These are all forced and are not the positions they are best at and most want to play.
Soon, the second half begins.
Everyone discovered that San Remo's formation had changed.
From 4213 to 433.
Lu Yang retreated to midfield.
As for his attacking midfielder position, it is more occupied by the right winger Becherci after cutting inside.
For Becherci's right winger position, Versace takes over.
In his playing style, Becherci swings more on the right wing and attacking midfielder positions.
His threat has indeed increased significantly.
He won two set pieces for the team in the halfback position.
However, they were located far away and did not pose a very direct threat.
Eighty-one minutes of the second half.
Becherci called out to Mathias to come forward and edge him.
After they hit the wall, he decisively cut inside.
Mathias Continue to insert.
Versace also runs from the center to the right, behind Becherci on the right side, preparing to meet Becherci.
Becherci was facing the opponent's defensive player in the ribs. He kept moving his center of gravity and finally broke through with the ball.
The opponent did not keep up and he gained a certain amount of space.
This was a good chance for a long shot, but he didn't shoot.
The opponent's central defender stepped up, and now it was a good opportunity to pass the ball to Soguer.
In 1V1 in the penalty area, Soguer has an advantage as the attacker.
However, Becherci made a beautiful Marseille Turn, which passed the opponent's center back and looked amazing.
Bang!
The midfielder coming from the other side made a tackle and kicked the football away from Becherci's feet.
He should have helped defend Baizami with the right back, but since Baizami lives on the wing, the threat is greatly reduced, so the midfielder who is assisting in defense can focus on Becherci instead.
This is a good steal.
Because the distance between Becherci and the football after Marseille Turn is a little far, it is easy to be intercepted.
It's been eighty minutes, and it's normal for Becherci's physical strength and explosive power to be a little behind.
Becherci kept complaining on the ground, indicating to the referee that this should be a free kick or even a penalty kick.
The referee ignored him at all.
There were no fouls on defense this time.
"Return to defense!"
Lu Yang yelled at Mathias and ran towards the right back position.
The place was completely empty.
Sure enough, the opponent also saw this gap and passed it directly.
One of the opponent's two centers pulls over and goes all the way to the bottom.
Lu Yang defended the ball and stood still, but the opponent passed the ball back to the midfielder outside the penalty area.
Latuidi was standing forward and was stuck two positions behind him, unable to do anything.
The opponent dribbled the ball forward three meters and entered an excellent long-range shooting area.
Nagy had to rush forward.
The opponent's midfielder faked a shot and passed the ball to the midfielder coming up from the right.
Palacios made a prompt decision and directly shot a horizontal Slide Tackle to the right, preparing to block the opponent's shot route.
If the opponent shoots a low ball, he can block it.
If the opponent shoots a half-high ball, it depends on the performance of goalkeeper Jarrad.
This is a cooperation between the central defender and the goalkeeper, which must be said to be quite high-end.
However, the opponent's midfielder still did not shoot, but kicked the ball to the unmarked Arezzo center in the penalty area.
Bang!
Arezzo center lived up to Kong Rong's kindness and scored the ball.
1:0!
Arezzo takes the lead!
Considering that there may be less than ten minutes left in the game, this is likely to be the shot that kills the game.
Because this is the Serie C focus battle, it is also broadcast on TV.
On television, this attack was replayed repeatedly.
From San Remo's deadly threat to Arezzo's counterattack, everyone saw it.
The average fans are pity that Becherci almost succeeded after one pass three times.
But high-level fans can see that Becherci mobilized most of the team's resources to serve him, but only allowed those teammates to serve without allowing them to participate in the core offense.
He carried the offense on his shoulders alone, but failed to carry it.
Therefore, when he lost the ball, most of the team was out of position, and it was not difficult to understand why he was forced to counterattack.
Especially the opponent's last three consecutive transfers, the center forward No. 11 was transferred to the midfielder No. 6, the midfielder No. 6 was transferred to the midfielder No. 8, and the midfielder No. 8 was transferred to the center midfielder No. 9.
A set of transfers passed Lu Yang, Nagy, and Palacios, creating a single opportunity in the penalty area.
It is in sharp contrast to Becherci, which is one over three.
"If he were that Argentina superstar, this ball might have been available, but unfortunately... he is not." Old Tom was quite regretful.
He knew that there was not much time left for Becherci.
For eighty minutes, Becherci fully demonstrated his technical characteristics and threats, but never achieved a breakthrough in the score.
He is excellent, the type of player San Remo lacks and needs.
But he cannot afford to carry San Remo, the legendary ship that is setting sail.
In the next five minutes, Becherci seemed to know that he had messed up his debut, and he started dribbling the ball even harder.
Soguer also began to help him pull aside regardless of past grudges, hoping to change the score.
Versace also lives in the right wing position, helping Becherci take away a defensive player.
Mathias dare not step forward.
However, the left back Camihon frequently stepped forward and formed a wing threat with Baizami.
It's a pity that Becherci has never seen this.
It seems as if the mission of Baizami and Camihon is to help him attract one more defensive player.
As his physical strength decreased, Becherci's emergency stops and starts during the breakthrough became much slower, and the threat began to decrease. The opponent had more opportunities to engage in physical confrontation with him. He kept falling, but gradually he could not even get the whistle for a foul.
During this period, the opponent counterattacked again and almost scored.
After the opponent's counterattack, Lu Yang's expression changed significantly.
He gave Becherci everything he asked for Soto, but Becherci did not perform convincingly.
Lu Yang is not a person who sits still, even if there is not much time left, he has decided to rely on himself to fight for the last chance for the team.
The game entered stoppage time.
San Remo won the ball again.
But the opponent has returned to defense across the board.
Becherci once again got the football in the rib area. Judging from his posture, he should be thinking about trying to break through the opponent again, without any intention of passing the ball to other players.
But this time, there were definitely more than three defenders around him.
Bang!
The football at Becherci's feet was stolen.
Becherci was very shocked.
There should be no opposing defender behind him.
In an instant, a jersey identical to his own floated past his eyes.
He realized that he seemed to have been intercepted by his teammates?
"What happened on the field? Lu Yang stole the football from his teammate Becherci?"
"Lu Yang rushed forward with the ball, and the speed did not slow down."
"One push of the ball, easy breakthrough."
"Two players from the opposing team come up to attack Lu Yang."
"Oh! Beautiful Flip Flap passed the ball! Lu Yang broke through to the right, but the football ejected from the left. Flip Flap passed through the crotch and added the ball. This is an extremely beautiful breakthrough."
"Lu Yang squeezed past the opponent's right side. The opponent's hand made a pulling movement, but he couldn't stop Lu Yang!"
"The opponent's centre-back came up!"
"Lu Yang controls the ball and turns around, is he going to use his extremely confrontational Bengbu Spin again? Yes, we interviewed Lu Yang, and he called this action Bengbu Spin."
"No! Lu Yang didn't continue to spin. He only did the first half of the action. He leaned against the opponent's center back, turned his back to the goal, and picked up the football."
"The opponent's center back can only look at this high-altitude ball, because Lu Yang blocks it and he can't compete for it."
"But similarly, Lu Yang can't handle this ball. If he wants to copy his previous pass shot of the Scoop the Moon from the Sea, it is unrealistic. This pick ball has no mobility. It just flies up in place and has height, but no speed and displacement."
"Furthermore, Lu Yang was blocked by the opponent's central defender and could not complete the turn. The opponent has obviously done their homework on Lu Yang."
Bang!
Lu Yang tilted his whole body backwards, knocking out a little space.
Then he seemed to have lost his balance. One foot suddenly exerted force, and the other foot was raised high. The whole person suddenly jumped up, and then hung upside down in the air.
Bang!
The opponent's center back put his head forward, trying to hit the football falling from mid-air.
But in the meantime, one foot kicked the football out.
The football was full of force, going straight from top to bottom and straight to the ground. At the moment when everyone was still looking up at the sky, the football had already penetrated into the lower corner of the goal.
This is an amazing shot!
The upside down golden hook in the restricted area!
Amazing as always!
San Remo tenaciously equalized the score at the last moment of the game!
"Roar!"
After Lu Yang stood up, he looked up to the sky and let out an angry roar!
San Remo did not lose.
But San Remo also didn't win!
This is not worth celebrating!
Lu Yang's roar aroused the resonance of the entire San Remo team.
They all looked serious.
They relied on Lu Yang to gain a bit of dignity and did not let their strongest competitor take all three points.
But they were not happy at all in this game.
They had the upper hand and they could have won.
Arezzo is not better than San Remo, this is something that all San Remo people can feel.
But they missed too many opportunities.
In this roar, there is unwillingness, anger, regret, and too much dissatisfaction!
