Chapter 29: Team Injuries and New Star Skills

Sophia is gone.

When leaving, she handed over the keys to the villa to Lu Yang, and she really let the construction team quickly complete the construction of an artificial turf field.

With Sophia's financial resources, even a small natural turf stadium can afford it, but there is too little time.

Sophia felt that if there was no such field, Lu Yang might really refuse the invitation to come here to help her look at the house.

But when Lu Yang and Morici finished training and were about to return to the villa, Morici, who learned that Lu Yang had settled in Sophia's mansion, completely changed his mind.

He felt that his friendship with Lu Yang was coming to an end.

At this point, he vowed that he would never make friends with a person who is 1.8 meters tall.

The speed of their rebellion was simply beyond their expectations.

Rondo comforted Morici and said: "Don't do this, when you talk about your girlfriend, you will also undergo such changes."

Morici asked suspiciously: "So after having love, will friendship be greatly reduced?"

Rondo said, "At least at first."

Morici said: "What was it like when you were in love? Is it also in the state of giving up friendship like Lu?"

Rondo said: "No, it can be said that there are too many similarities. It can only be said that it is... exactly the same... No, I was even more exaggerated than him at the beginning, just like a licking dog! To be honest, Lu Yang's current state is a hundred times better than mine, you have to understand him, after all Sophia is his first love, they are hot, you know what I mean."

Morici half-understands, women seem to be more complicated than football.

On the other hand, Lu Yang never thought that he could get rewards for the competitions he didn't participate in.

"Ding! The team defeated the opponent without you, and you got a random gift package*1."

"Ding! You opened the gift bag and got the star skill, Golden Wolf Guti's through ball!"

Wolf again!
Another star skill!
Lu Yangxi smiled.

Red Wolf King Totti's spoon lob.

Golden Wolf Guti's through ball.

Will the next bag opening be a shot from Lone Wolf Romario or something?

Guti is a Real Madrid midfielder, known for his nerve knife.

His through ball is very sharp and can often kill with a single blow.But the opposite of the high-yield behavior of the through ball is the high risk of being counterattacked if the through ball fails.

As a result, Guti has been controversial in his career, but he has not changed his style and insisted on this sharp style of play.

This made his midfielder not stable enough, but it made the fans addicted to it, mobilizing the adrenaline of the fans time and time again.

This star skill greatly increased Lu Yang's passing ability.

Long pass increased to 60.

The short pass awakened and came directly to 55 points.

Foot power changed from 50 to 55.

Moreover, a through ball generally refers to a ground pass, which further improved Lu Yang's passing ability.The previous low-altitude pass and aggravated spin pass are all types of high-altitude long passes.

……

After all the results of the five rounds of the Italian No.30 league match came out, the points ranking changed again.

Turis beat his opponent and still maintained the lead. The current points have reached 73 points.

Bisceglie did not continue to lose the chain, and also won, ranking second with 71 points.

Francavilla fell into the predicament of being weak due to the injury of the main center forward. He regretted a zero-to-zero tie with his opponent and ranked third in the standings with 69 points.

Moreover, they share the same score as No.4 Sanremo!
It's just that the ranking of the Italian league with the same points is based on the relationship between victory and defeat, and Fran La Villa's record against San Remo is one win and one draw, so it is ranked third.

San Remo had only two draws in the second half of the season, and all the rest won, and one of the draws was given by Francavilla.

But even so, as long as there is a tie, Sanremo is basically at a disadvantage.

Because they all lost against the top six teams in the first half of the season.

Even if they win most of the second half of the season, they are often behind by a large score in the first half of the season. If they cannot win by a large score in the second half of the season, they are generally at a disadvantage in the goal difference competition between the two sides.

This is the hidden danger of San Remo.

Fifth-placed Palermo and sixth-placed Catania also won, with 67 and 66 points behind Sanremo and Francavilla respectively.

The competition for the top six is ​​becoming more and more fierce.

The day before the No.30 six-round match, during regular training in San Remo, the team's starting right center back suffered a thigh strain.After checking, it was confirmed that he will miss all games after this season.

The team made temporary adjustments, and the substitute central defender Najib entered the starting lineup.

Considering Najib's colander attributes, many people are pessimistic about this adjustment.

Fortunately, San Remo's opponent in the next round is Viterbo, a weak team that has already confirmed its relegation quota.

A day later, No.30 kicked off the six rounds of the league.

In the 7th minute of the start of the game, Lu Yang made a brilliant through ball and amazed the audience.

At that time, there were at least four people between him and the team's center forward, but Lu Yang's through ball flew out of the four precisely, and appeared at the feet of the San Remo team's center forward.

This is Lu Yang's rare accurate ground pass, which caught the opponent by surprise.

Because San Remo was the only one who could pass this kind of ball before!

Taking the ball is one-handed. The Sanremo center did not miss this good opportunity and opened the scoring for the team.

Sanremo leads Viterbo one-nil.

While relegation is certain, that doesn't mean Viterbo's players don't want a win.

You must know that the current San Remo is an online celebrity team in Serie D, and even most Serie C teams are far less concerned than them.

There are also rumors in the media that scouts from big teams often watch San Remo games during this time.

Playing against San Remo is almost the channel for low-level league players to get the most exposure.

The players of Viterbo also want to shine and see if they can be favored by other teams.Not to mention reaching the sky in one step and directly entering Serie A and Serie B, at least it would be good to stay in Serie D.

So everyone played very vigorously today.

The blockade of Lu Yang is also in place.

Who made Lu Yang the most famous one in San Remo today?
Stadium commentary: "Oh, we can see that Lu Yang seems to be in trouble today. Although the team's offense is relatively smooth, as long as he catches the ball, he will inevitably face double-teaming."

"Lu Yang and Moric are two types of players. This kind of double-teaming Moric can be done with ease, but Lu Yang seems a little in a hurry. Fortunately, he has good ball control and vision, and he can always get the ball before losing the ball. Pass the football to Moric or the defense."

"But it also destroyed the team's offense invisibly. This is why Sanremo's midfield is well organized today, but it is difficult to get a very direct offensive opportunity."

"So far, the score is still one to zero. Vidian's feet are not going well this time, and he got two good chances but failed to create a goal. The team's right midfielder and right forward are not particularly smooth. They The two seem to be in poor condition, which may be related to the hard work in the last game."

"With Lu Yang absent in the last game, the San Remo team's defensive pressure has increased significantly, and their team has many older players. The center forward, right forward, right midfielder, and the previous starting right central defender are all over 32 years old. .”

"It was reported before that San Remo's starting right center back was injured, and the teenager Najib was the starter. This is the reason. The physical strength and durability of most San Remo players have reached their limit recently. They may still be injured in the next game."

So far, Sanremo has played a terrifying nine-game winning streak.

Even before the nine-game winning streak, it was a two-game winning streak, and before that, it was a five-game winning streak!

They remained unbeaten in the second half of the season.

But it also means the players are exhausted.

Especially when they started to attack the promotion zone, the challenges they faced became stronger and stronger, the players became more and more excited, and everyone performed better every game.

But the body may not be able to bear it.

It is impossible for a team like San Remo to have a perfect rotation.

They have a lot of positions, and they don't even have reliable substitute players.

It is often a substitute player who has multiple roles and can serve as a substitute rotation for multiple positions.

Now, physical strength has become an important factor limiting San Remo's progress.

On the court, although they have achieved a one-to-zero lead, Sanremo does not have the upper hand on the scene.

"We have to score more goals to reduce the team's mental and defensive pressure." Moric found Lu Yang.

He is very sharp, the team's right forward and right midfielder are in a very bad state today.

Unlike Wei Di'an's unfavorable foot wind, those two people are a bit... kicking back and forth today.

This means that they are less likely to exert force.

And often the reason why a person is afraid to exert force is because a certain position will be uncomfortable when exerting force. The pain is not severe enough, but it will make people subconsciously withdraw force.

This is often a manifestation of initial injuries to certain parts.

It cannot continue like this.

Suotu's defensive tactics are indeed sound, but they require a lot of running.

And the team obviously doesn't have the ability to run a lot now, so Moric decided to change the team's playing style privately.

But the reduction in running means increased holes in the defense, which is likely to allow the team to lose the ball.

So the team's offensive personnel must first play the advantage.

There is a link here, and no step can be messed up, otherwise good intentions will do bad things instead.

"I'll try." Lu Yang said, "Today they put a lot of defensive pressure on me, you can find more opportunities to go forward."

Morici nodded too.

Soon, the opportunity presented itself.

Game No. 305 minutes, Lu Yang got the ball.

The opponent's midfielder blocked Lu Yang at close range by himself, while a man rushed over from the side to double-team him.

The player who blocked Lu Yang had obviously studied Lu Yang, he knew that Lu Yang did not have the ability to break through with the ball.

As long as you don't grab it, you won't be swayed by Lu Yang's favorite V-shaped ball.

This is the best way to defend Lu Yang, and he has successfully defended like this several times today.

But this time, Lu Yang did not sit still.

He pulled the football back with his right foot, and the football rolled to the toe of his left foot, and then the toe of his left foot kicked, and the football flew up.

The opponent's defensive player's eyes lit up. This kind of half-air ball is very difficult to control. He can definitely grab the ball and be sure of it!

Did Lu Yang make a mistake?

But just when the opposing player was about to step forward, the football that was supposed to fly high hit the knee of Lu Yang's left leg, and landed quickly, bouncing forward.

It's a long time to say, but it's only a moment when this action is done.

After Lu Yang pulled the ball with his right foot, just as it landed, the football flew up and was knocked out by his left knee.

That's almost a second.

And why did Lu Yang's left knee move forward and hit the football?
Naturally, it was because Lu Yang had to step forward with his left foot to prepare for a sprint.

In an instant, Lu Yang stepped on the ground with his right foot and stepped forward with his left foot. The man and the ball rushed past the defender at the same time, like a yellow lightning bolt.

The commentator was stunned: "This is...knee kicking the ball! It's a cool street ball kicking action, but it can also be used for breakthroughs, which is very sudden. It's just that in official games, few people use it. Kind of a fancy move."

"This action looks not difficult to defend, but it is actually a difficult test for the defender. It can make the football move three times in an instant. The first time is to pull it from the front to the back. The second time is to let the The football flies from the ground to the mid-air, and the third time the football is suddenly ejected from the mid-air to the ground in front of it."

"Few defensive players can keep up with the three center of gravity shifts in a short period of time. Even if the brain reacts, the body's center of gravity cannot react. In other words, the brain knows that this is deception, but the muscle memory will unconsciously Moved. We could see Viterbo's defenders frozen in place, unable to move, watching the football and Lu Yang pass him by."

"This is the power of kicking the ball with the knee!"

After Lu Yang broke through the opponent's defense, he drove straight in, which was equivalent to breaking through two players in one go, because there was another player who wanted to pinch him.

As a last resort, the rest of the Viterbo players rushed towards Lu Yang.

Moric has a lot of space, and he advances to the top of the arc in the penalty area.

He just arrived, and Lu Yang's Zhisai has also arrived.

Another brilliant pass over a defender's block.

Moric took the ball and shot from a long distance.

Sanremo is two to zero, consolidating the advantage!

Taking advantage of the time to celebrate the goal, Moric found the team's right-sided players and asked them to stop playing next, with the priority of conserving energy and protecting the body.

The faces of the team's right forward and right midfielder changed slightly, and they nodded.

After that, Sanremo's style of play also changed. More balls were launched from the left, so that Vidian had more opportunities to adjust the feeling under his feet.

"Why does the team's style of play seem to have changed?" Tom saw the changes in the team, and he was worried that Suotu would be angry because of this. No head coach likes his tactics to be tampered with by players at will.

However, Suotu laughed and said: "This is the role of the brain. As players on the field, they are often more aware of some details than us, just as we are better than them at seeing the spatial position on the field."

"Moric is adjusting the team's style of play according to the state of the team's players. This is what a midfielder should really do. Our right-sided players may have some problems. In the second half..."

Glancing at the bench, Suotu pursed his lips.

In the second half, he didn't have much room to adjust.

The biggest achievement of the team's winter window was signing him, and because Suotu and the team chairman felt that this season was over and the biggest task was to keep relegation, so Suotu did not ask for transfer funds and players.

The team's player inventory is therefore seriously insufficient.

If he had known that there was hope for promotion this season, the team chairman would have bought a few substitutes for Suotu in the winter window.

It's good now, there's no more rice for the pot!
