Football should be played like me

Chapter 160 If anyone can save Italy, it is Lu!

"Oh! What happened?"

"It's Italy's bench! Drake and Vincent seem to be arguing about something!"

"We know that there have been rumors of discord in the Italian team before the game. It is said that some verbal conflicts occurred between the players and the coaching staff in the team. But..."

"But now it's in the game!"

"As one of the captains of the Italian team, Drake is diligent and diligent. He is not a person who plays with privileges. Even if Vincent took him down to play other players, Drake has never complained."

"It was getting louder and there were players coming up, but they didn't pull the two apart."

"Dereki was talking about something, and his words seemed to infect the players of the Italian team. Members of the coaching staff were stopped by the players of the Italian team. The matter did not expand further, but the conversation between the two continued."

"Dreki's voice is very loud, we can already hear what he is roaring!"

In the TV, Drake's angry voice came.

"I play? Why do I go up? Why should I go up?"

"Do you think I can score for Italy? What the hell are you thinking?"

"Victory! We just want to win now, do you understand?"

"Italy needs offense, not defense!"

"It's him who should play!"

"No. [-] scorer in Serie B! Sixty goals in the whole season! Double golden boots in the Coppa Italia and European Youth Championship!"

"He, Lu! Let Lu play! Let him play football!"

"If there is anyone who can save Italy, I believe that person is Lu!"

Drake was hysterical, and the fourth referee was confused by the situation.

This... Should we intervene?

This seems to be the Italian team's own business?

And... no physical conflict broke out.

To be reasonable, the referee shouldn't care.

But... this scene is a bit worrying.

Will Drake suddenly go berserk, punish Vincent, and do what every Italian wants to do?

Vincent turned pale.

He has never experienced such a scene.

This is a battle of life and death in Italy. Under the watchful eyes of fans all over Italy and even all over Europe, his substitution arrangement as the head coach was not only directly rejected by the person who was replaced, but he was even scolded and instructed by the opponent.

Is he still the head coach of this team?
Do these players still want to play football?
There is no doubt that any player who goes against the wishes of the head coach, in any case, will have a narrower and narrower future, with few exceptions.

This kind of violation does not mean fighting with the head coach, etc., but a direct and public rebuttal.

For example, when Sarri was coaching at Chelsea, he wanted to replace goalkeeper Kepa, but Kepa refused.

This thing can be said to be a lose-lose.

Sarri's reputation was discredited, his prestige was lost, and he could only leave the field sadly.

But in the same way, Kepa was considered a stabbing player by the industry because of this, and his value plummeted in the transfer market, and no one cared about him.

And Drake is now about the same as Kepa.

It's just that Kepa is unwilling to end, which is somewhat understandable.

But Drake is unwilling to play, which is even rarer.

This matter is destined to affect Drake, and even once this incident happens, he will never be called up by the national team again, but Drake still made such a relatively extreme choice.

Because he knew that this might be the last hope.

As for Vincent, after experiencing Drake's scolding and rejection, it will be difficult for him to improve his coaching career in the future, because he can't even maintain the most basic authority as a head coach.

This is the player's problem, but it is also Vincent's own problem.

What's more, he has never won any solid championship awards before, unlike champion harvesters like Mourinho and Guashuai, who can change and start over no matter how hard they fall.

In any case, substitutions must continue.

The referee will not give the Italian team too much time.

Pellegrini is bound to leave the field due to injury. If the Italian team does not come up with substitutions, you will be ten or eleven. The Swedish team will not be too happy.

At the critical moment, Manero, who had been silent on the coach's bench, came over, he let Drake let go, and said to the fourth referee in front of Drake and Vincent: "We are sure, use No. 22 player Lu Yang, replace No. 8 player Pellegrini!"

The fourth referee looked at Vincent and found that Vincent did not shake his head.

So, the substitutions began.

Before warming up, Lu Yang was ordered to step in and appear on the court in a dramatic manner.

The erupting Italian fans cheered wildly. They shouted Lu Yang's name together, as if the game had been won.

This is the home stadium of Italy, and the Italian stadium has a large capacity, so the number of Italian fans here exceeds [-]!

When 5 people shouted the same name in unison, the shocking power is unimaginable to those who do not go to the scene to watch the game.

Lu Yang!

Lu Yang!

Lu Yang!

The fans of the Swedish team were completely confused by this posture.

What does it mean?
Is the superstar Uranus coming?
Is there any big killer in Italy?

"It's that Lu! The player who just won the Puskas Award!" The Swedish fans who had done their homework began to explain the existence of this Lu.

In fact, around this time period of the last game, the Italian fan expedition was also calling for this name.

But in the end, Vincent insisted on being deaf, and went to battle with illness, physically disabled and strong, which is respectable.

"Is he strong?"

"He is currently the top scorer in Serie B, but he usually plays in the midfield. Many people say that he is a bit like England's Gerondo, a player who wins the golden boot in the midfield."

"Hi! Serie B? Talk about yarn! Serie A stars are rubbed against the ground by our Sweden, okay?"

"Yeah, so this group of Italians is confusing."

"And do you know what is the funniest thing? This Lu is a Chinese!"

"What's so funny about this? There are a lot of foreign immigrants in developed countries in Europe."

"The funny thing is that after the team won the European Youth Championship, the national flag waving is Italy on one side and China on the other."

"Watt? Did I hear you wrong? What does he mean? Isn't he afraid of being abandoned by Italy?"

"That's what I want to say. He suffered a certain degree of criticism from the public at the time, and even some Chinese people didn't understand his approach. But... After Italy lost the Euro Cup play-offs this time, some Italian fans publicly said, If Lu can play and score goals for Italy, then they will never again object to the colors of the flag waved by Lu Yang."

"Hahaha! This group of Italians is really dead, are they so lacking in dignity?"

The Swedish fans ridiculed some of the remarks made by the Italian fans before.

But an Italian fan next to him countered: "Really? If you can't enter the European Cup or the World Cup, and there is a player who can help you achieve your goals, he is willing to fight for you, but at the same time he still loves his homeland. How would you choose?"

"Can you drop his support?"

"Besides, I don't think there is anything wrong with his behavior. Even if I go to a big city, I will not forget the small village where I was raised. Besides, China is only stronger than Italy in all aspects."

The Swedish fans couldn't understand it at all, and sneered: "So, you think this Lu came from China to help the poor in Italian football? Hahaha! This is the best joke I've heard this year!"

Undeterred, the Italian fans took off his Italy national team jersey, revealing the San Remo shirt underneath.

Obviously, this was a Sanremo fan, so it became reasonable for him to say anything, especially the kind that couldn't happen.

Because in the past two and a half years, everything that happened in San Remo was impossible!

The fan said: "Okay, then I hope that after the Swedish team misses this European Cup, don't envy Italy for having such a land!"

"Lu Yang, come on!"

"Lu Yang, stand up!"

"Lu Yang, awesome!"

The fan started to shout, because Lu Yang in the field had already received the football.

……

boom!
After Lu Yang came on the field, he appeared in the left midfield position, replacing Pellegrini.

Candreva in the middle has moved from the midfielder position to the midfield position, so his performance is not so catastrophic.

Lu Yang knew that his biggest task was to attack, so he was not in a hurry to change positions with Candreva, and went to the middle ready to become a midfielder at any time.

Candreva throws the ball to Lu Yang.

This is Lu Yang's first appearance on behalf of the Italian national team.

After receiving the ball, he flicked his tail beautifully, swayed past the defender in front of him, and then rushed forward with the ball.

This action is very beautiful, so that all Italian fans are bright.

This feeling is ... long extinct in Italy ... shock force?

That's right!

impact!
In the past, Italy had wonderful defense, organization and goals.

But what they lack the most is players who can attack the opponent's defense head-on.

Such an impact may have a high probability of failure.

But at the same time, this is also a consumption of the opponent's defensive players.

No matter how many times he guards you, next time, everyone will be [-]-[-].

In terms of probability, neither his successful defense nor your failed breakthrough will affect the success probability of your next breakthrough.

This kind of mental consumption is hard to see with the naked eye, but it really exists on the court.

Once the opponent's mental state is not good, even if you pass the ball casually, it will tear the opponent's defense line and make the opponent's defense fall short.

But in the past, Italian football, because it was too mature and complete, inhibited the birth of impact players.

The short-sightedness of the national team has aggravated this situation.

So Lu Yang just touched the ball for the first time, and many Italian fans have already reached the peak of their emotions.

This kick of the ox's tail made them see the light!

After ten seconds.

"Ah!" The commentator sighed, "This is a wonderful breakthrough. Lu Yang's first touch of the ball showed great power. But he and Perotta still lack tacit understanding. The football went to Ancarelli."

"Ancarelli immediately sent the ball to Perotta. Although there are rumors that these two men disagree, they are both very professional. In official games, they will never do things that are not conducive to Italy."

"Perrotta waited for a while after holding the ball, and then sent the ball behind the Swedish defense with a through ball. This is a very beautiful through ball!"

"Lu Yang started it early, he appeared behind the Swedish central defender, rubbed his foot against the football, and the football passed the Swedish goalkeeper's ten fingers!"

"The attention of the Swedish defensive players was all on Ancarelli. They didn't expect a midfielder to insert into their penalty area resolutely!"

"But it's a pity that Perotta wasted some time on the sidelines, and when he took the ball, Lu Yang was already offside. Therefore, the goal was invalid and was blown off by the referee."

"The Italian fans are so excited! The Italian players are also complaining, they think this is a good ball."

"But through slow playback, we can see that Lu Yang is indeed offside. Although it is not much, it is an offside ball."

"But it's a pity, but from this ball we can also see the difference between Lu Yang and the traditional Italian midfielder. He is very aggressive, he is very bold, he is the X factor of Italy!"

"I hope he can bring goals to Italy in the future!"

Of course, there are bullish ones, and there are low ones.

Some commentators also said: "Lu Yang missed his best chance to score in the game. He just came on the field and was not easy to be noticed, so he stole a chance."

"But then, the Swedish defenders won't give him that chance again!"

"The existence of Ancarelli and Perrotta has diverted most of the attention of the Swedish defensive players, but after that, Lu Yang will also enter their defensive vision."

Both statements have some truth, which is purely the difference between the thinking modes of optimistic idealism and pessimistic realism.

In the next few minutes, Lu Yang continued to perform brilliantly.

He got the ball in midfield and was pressed by two opposing players.

Normal people would send back the message, and Lu Yang did exactly that.

Including Candreva are ready to receive the ball.

However, Lu Yang quickly adjusted the direction with a V-shaped pull ball, then caught fried meatballs and passed between the two defenders.

Advance with the ball in the middle!

Unfortunately, at the end of this attack, Perotta was surrounded by the opponent and Ancarelli did not get in in time. In the end, he lost his threat. Under Ancarelli's long shot, it became a goal kick .

After this attack, Lu Yang found Perotta and exchanged a few words with him.

Lu Yang: "Perotta, you don't need to pay special attention to my running position. If you sometimes see an opportunity and hope someone can hit a wall with you, I will cooperate with you."

"My insertion is very firm, and my physical strength is enough for me to run all over the court, so if you want to pass the ball to me, you can give me more advance, or give the ball with one kick."

What Lu Yang and Perotta were talking about was the last pass.

If Perotta did not pass the ball to Lu Yang immediately, Lu Yang would easily be offside.

The caution of the fulcrum center is necessary, but if he knows that there is someone who will always plug in when he drops back, he will know better how to deal with the football at his feet.

Perotta nodded.

In any case, Lu Yang's words made him feel very comfortable.

Lu Yang didn't ask Perotta to do anything, instead he tried to start from Perotta's point of view as much as possible.

It's a hundred times better than saying "you catch the ball and go straight through, don't miss the opportunity".

Similarly, Lu Yang went to Ancarelli again.

Lu Yang: "Ancarelli, whether there is a chance or not, I will insist on going forward in every attack and pull away at least one defender for you."

"I will also pay attention to your running position. As long as you have the opportunity, the football will definitely reach your feet!"

Look, how well said.

Ancarelli nodded and smiled.

This is the little helper he needs most.

Impact force, does Ancarelli have it?
Have!
But not much!
Even though Ancarelli, who is in his 30s, can still run, he cannot sprint many times. After all, he is old.

At this time, he not only needs a fulcrum center to help him pull, he also needs a player who is good at going forward to help him push out.

Under this kind of double pull, Ancarelli can maximize his shadow front ability.

Although Lu Yang and Ancarelli did not have a tacit understanding, if Lu Yang was willing to advance every opportunity, Ancarelli would be able to find a good opportunity from it.

The only one who worked hard was Lu Yang. Sometimes he would advance the team but not necessarily attack with the momentum. This wasted his energy and enthusiasm for attacking.

But for physical strength, there are not many other players, but Lu Yang has a lot!
And the enthusiasm for attacking... Lu Yang is very enthusiastic now.

Because this is his debut for the Italian national team.

Becoming famous with one goal is always the script that best motivates young players.

Lu Yang will never admit defeat in this match!
……

No.707 minutes of the game.

Sweden won a corner kick.

As a matter of course, Lu Yang was preparing to enter the restricted area to participate in the top fight.

But he noticed that there were two players in the opponent's corner.

There is also a Swedish player at the front and outside of the Italian penalty area.

Because they are far away from the core threat position, there are no personal defenders around them.

If the ball Sweden is going to take a tactical corner, then...

Thinking of this, Lu Yang rushed out and went straight to the corner flag area.

"what are you doing?"

"go back!"

"Get back!"

"Defend who you're supposed to guard, damn it!"

Vincent cursed and cursed in the coaching area. It wasn't him setting up corner kick defense tactics.

Lu Yang did not follow his tactical arrangements at all.

Including Lu Yang's unlimited number of advances before, Vincent is not happy to see it.

Indeed, this made Italian forwards more threatening to a certain extent.

But it also left a defensive hole in Italy's midfield.

Vincent didn't pay attention at all that Lu Yang was always able to return to his defensive position in time, he only looked at what he wanted to see.

boom!
In the corner area, the Swedish team sent a corner kick.

Sure enough, it was a tactical free kick.

Lu Yang rushed to the corner kicker immediately.

But the opponent gently knocked the football to the side.

Another Swedish player kicks in a cross.

As we all know, after the corner kick is sent, there will be a wave of blocking and top competition in the penalty area.

However, if the tactical corner kick is a little too long for a second or two, the players who are stuck in the first wave and competing for the top will actually miss the best opportunities and opportunities.

At this time, the players who plug in the back row to grab points are very advantageous.

And a player outside the penalty area arranged by the Swedish team launched an impact on the penalty area at this time, and after preparation, he jumped in and attacked the goal.

however……

boom!
boom!
Lu Yang made a defensive feint.

Seemingly pounced on the corner kicker, but halfway through, he changed direction early and pounced on the corner kick receiver.

Therefore, when the opponent made a cross, Lu Yang happened to appear on the path of the ball.

Lu Yang stretched out his right foot, and in less than half a second after the opponent passed the ball, he also touched the football.

The football flew high and rolled down the wing towards the midfield.

Without hesitation, Lu Yang ran over with the football.

The two Swedish players who took corner kicks also reacted.

This is a counterattack belonging to Italy!
The other party pulled Lu Yang at the first moment, but the jersey of Lu Yang was not the same as Lu Yang's.

"Oh! Lu Yang completed a wonderful gambling defense! He predicted the opponent's free throw method and completed a wonderful interception."

"Now the football is flying towards the midfield, Lu Yang's speed is very fast, he has a chance to touch the ball first."

"The Swedish players tried to pull Lu Yang, but there was no chance, Lu Yang was too fast!"

"I can't see it at all. There is an entry on Lu Yang's profile that he is good at defense, but he has never been evaluated as being faster. I think it's time for all the scouts to update the data cards that belong to Lu Yang in your hands."

"It was too late for the Swedish centre-back to retreat. His speed put him at a disadvantage when returning to the defense, so instead of retreating, he rushed towards the football."

"Lu Yang speed up! Faster and faster!"

"Lu Yang touched football first! Be careful!"

"The Swedish central defender came head-on from in front of Lu Yang, with a sliding shovel!"

"Beautiful dribbling! Lu Yang leaps over the Swedish central defender with the football!"

Rumble!
There was a very warm cheer at the scene.

The Italian fans were thrilled.

Lu Yang escaped the opponent's tackle and continued to control the football!

This is incredible!
In the entire Swedish half, besides the goalkeeper, there was also a right back in front of Lu Yang's right.

The front of Lu Yang is almost a level river!
Lu Yang glanced at the opponent and kept dribbling the ball on the side.

Counterattack Vanguard!
Hurry up on the sidewalk!

Kaka's big stride!
Lu Yang's speed completely exploded!
He is like a supercar, he can't stop at all!

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the Swedish right back had no choice but to move closer to Lu Yang.

He slammed into Lu Yang fiercely, and had a violent physical collision with Lu Yang.

Can Lu Yang win the opponent?
He may not lose!
But if he really collided violently with the opponent, it would be difficult for him to maintain his continued control over the football, and it would also be difficult for him to maintain this high-speed advancement.

So Lu Yang made a choice.

He slammed the football forward.

At the same time, Lu Yang was knocked out of the sideline by the opponent.

The cheers of the Italian fans stopped abruptly.

Instead, there was a vengeful celebration from the Swedish fans.

But the next moment, everyone's voices disappeared.

It was as if the throat was strangled by the hand of fate.

Bell's outside overtaking, start!

"Oh my god! It's unbelievable! Lu Yang ran so fast beyond the touchline, he didn't stop!"

"Over, really over! Lu Yang is overtaking the Swedish right back!"

"It's passed! Lu Yang overtook another car from outside! He even passed the Swedish right back!"

"Cut inside! Lu Yang was the first to touch football, his intention is very firm, he wants to cut inside!"

"It's over! Lu Yang circled a big arc, but in the end he ran in front of the Swedish right back!"

"Between two points, Lu Yang is the shortest!"

"Lu Yang entered the restricted area, single-handedly!"

"The Swedish goalkeeper stood at the door, blocking most of Lu Yang's shot angles with his body. He was very calm, he..."

boom!
Lu Yang shot furiously!

The Swedish goalkeeper's foot touched the ball, but it did not prevent the ball from entering the net.

One to one!

Italy equalized the score!
The teenager Lu Yang, who played less than 10 minutes, had two shots and two goals, one was offside and one was undisputed!
At this moment, the Italian fans finally saw the light they needed!
Lu Yang, YYDS!

　I should have written all about this game, but Taozi is out these days.I went to Mount Putuo with my friends to fulfill my wish, but the time was very tight, and I didn’t save any manuscripts at all, so I had to write manuscripts in the hotel every night.

　　Today, I took the time to write this article on the plane, and because of it, I got airsick and threw up in the toilet.The update said that even the hotspots on the subway were updated, and now they are still on the road, and they haven't eaten dinner.

　　I hope everyone understands.
