Football Should Be Played Like Me

Stadium stands.

"Lu Yang shouldn't stay in Sanremo, now he's in trouble."

On the court, there are several professional fans or maybe scouts talking to each other.

"Yes, this summer, Arsenal are willing to pay 2.5 million euros for him, which is definitely the peak of his personal worth."

"Arsenal is completely scratching the lottery. In fact, Lu Yang is not worth the price. To this day, he still hasn't played any regular high-level games."

"In other words, this is Arsenal paying for Mr. Winter's face. After all, Lu Yang scored a hat-trick in front of Mr. Winter."

"I understand the ambitions of young people, wanting to start from nothing, and relying on self-struggle to succeed at every stage. This kind of down-to-earth mentality is actually a quality that young people in European football lack today. For that, I admire him!"

"But... Lu Yang lost the bet!"

"Sometimes, you should stand on the shoulders of giants, instead of thinking about getting rid of the so-called blessings of giants."

"Lu Yang wants to stay in Sanremo and create a legend, so that he is different from other young players who joined the giants. He has great ambitions, but unfortunately, he lost the bet!"

"Moric should be the biggest reason for him to stay in Sanremo. With Morich and Lu Yang, Sanremo does have the ability to impact Serie B. But now...as a lottery, Moric can at least make a big ball. The team has the urge to scratch it, but Lu Yang... Engineer players are not worth looking forward to, doesn't he understand the truth?"

"Although Sanremo didn't lose in the first few games, it was only a matter of time. Lu Yang played too awkwardly. Even though he has the title of an all-around warrior, he is not really all-around. Too meticulous organization work. And his super personal ball-handling and passing skills are areas he can't reach."

"But what do you think of Sanremo's formation adjustment this time? 4213, Lu Yang was placed in the attacking midfield position, which is different from the previous games."

"It won't change much. When I actually play, I even think it will be a 451 formation. The two wing forwards can't go up and can only stand at the wing forward position. Lu Yang will not appear in the attacking midfielder. Position, he doesn't have the talent to direct the attack. The only reason Suotu put him there is so that Lu Yang's defensive area can cover everything between the two penalty areas."

"Defensive midfielder? This is the first time I've heard of it."

"So, this is a lineup of four backs, two midfielders, a defensive midfielder, two full-backs, and a center forward?"

"I think so."

"Sanremo's practice of attacking from the middle will not change, and the team's playing style will not change because of one person's incompatibility."

What these fans said was actually very professional.

And they made a very important point, which is that team tactics never serve the individual.

Throughout the European football world, major giants buy players from their own tactical system to see if the opponent is suitable for their own style of play, and then buy.

Many so-called parallel imports, in addition to injuries, are mostly because they do not conform to the team's playing style, so they cannot be integrated into the team system.

In this case, the team will not change the playing habits of ten other players for the sake of one player.

This is what happened to Lu Yang.

He was very tormented in the role of Morich, so in everyone's guess, Welsage should probably try the role of Morich, or even let Latuidi try it. Yang will return to the position of the sappers.

But these people overlooked a crucial factor.

It was also the reason why Lu Yang firmly stayed in Sanremo from the very beginning.

That is... for some small teams, pivoting around potential stars is their firm strategy.

Their battle systems are all based on the needs of the stars.

At some point, everyone on the team has to make changes for this star.

This is rarely the case.

Stars need to have absolute strength, to be worthy of such changes in the team and worthy of the sacrifices of others.

It also requires the head coach to have absolute trust in the stars, and at the same time to be relatively open-minded and have absolute control over the team.

It also requires the trust of the team management in the players and the coach.

It also requires the fans' trust in the team.

This requirement is too difficult to meet.

Unless you're the ball king.

And Lu Yang...Unfortunately, Lu Yang, who brought the first championship trophy in Sanremo's history, Lu Yang, who came down to earth in the championship battle, is the champion of Sanremo!

……

beep!

With a whistle, the second round of the Coppa Italia officially started.

Serie C team Sanremo vs Serie B team Brescia.

At the beginning of the game, Sanremo showed a completely different way of playing from the previous games.

Lu Yang kicked the ball, Versage received the ball, and then passed it back to Sanremo right-back Matthias on the right.

After Mathias got the ball, he made a long pass and gave the ball to Fernandez, the right winger in the frontcourt, before the opponent's flank entered the state.

Fernandez was left unguarded and moved forward with the ball.

When the opponent came to defend, he immediately passed the football back to Lu Yang, who came to respond.

Brescia's midfield was close to Lu Yang, and Lu Yang passed the football to Fernandez.

But Fernandez still had no chance, and returned the football to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang returned the football to Versage near the center line.

The tentative attack was over.

Welsach moved from the back, passing the ball to the left-back.

The left-back of Sanremo did the same thing as the right-back, passing the ball directly to Baizami in the frontcourt.

Baizami took the ball and ran, leaving the late Brescia right back to chase.

But the opponent's defensive experience is very rich, and they shrink directly to prevent Bayzami from cutting in and not preventing him from going down.

This time, Sanremo made some attacks from the left.

However, with the retreat of the opponent's midfielder, Bayzami was blocked, and he could only pass the football to Lu Yang, who was behind him.

At this time, some fans already felt that something was wrong.

Why is there Lu Yang everywhere?

It's a long story, but it's actually a quick thing to switch from attacking from the right of Sanremo to attacking from the left.

But why are there Lu Yang's figures on both sides?

After Lu Yang received the ball, he tried to pass back to Bayzami, but in fact he missed a right foot and a flower-arranging foot with his left foot, sending a forty-five-degree cross in the rib area.

This is absolutely unexpected.

Lu Yang's left and right feet doubled the threat of the flower arrangement!

Sogel jumped high in the penalty area, but the opponent's two central defenders were very focused. With men on the left and right, Sogel missed the opportunity and failed to reach the football.

But it is undeniable that this is a beautiful threatening cross.

"That's it, great job!" Suotu was on the sidelines for the team.

The home fans also began to cheer.

The team is different!

Everyone saw it.

Although the opponent is stronger, and although the outcome is still unknown, today's Lu Yang is obviously much more free and happy than Lu Yang in the past half month.

The head coach on Brescia frowned slightly.

He saw that Sanremo had changed.

"They gave up the midfield and the position of the team's metronome, and they lost their midfield commander." The Brescia coach said to the assistant next to him: "The disadvantage of this is that they can only play according to the attributes of the formation. Attack on the left and right flanks, otherwise they wouldn't attack."

"Next, as long as our players guard their wing attacks and don't let them enter dangerous areas such as the attacking third zone, they will not be able to create any threat."

The assistant was bewildered, so Sanremo has surrendered?

It is absolutely impossible for this kind of rigid tactics without a midfield commander to break the door of the Serie B team.

Why do they do this?

Even having Welsage as the midfield metronome would be better than not having a midfielder at all, right?

The head coach of Brescia said: "Because they want to completely liberate Lu Yang! A top-level team has three organizational cores. Some people in the back defense can take on the heavy responsibility of organization, some people in the midfield can undertake such heavy tasks, and there are people in the frontcourt."

"But among the three cores, the midfielder is undoubtedly the real brain of the team. The two cores of the back defense and the frontcourt can only be regarded as the cerebellum. The offense launched by the back defense can only be a trick, not a routine. Tactics, otherwise it will give the opponent too much possession."

"Although the attack launched by the core of the frontcourt is more deadly, it is very unstable. It often comes from the flash of inspiration from the players, and if it fails, it also bears the huge cost of being counterattacked by the opponent. Therefore, many teams give the frontcourt players. The requirement is to seize every opportunity to start, not to pursue 100% opportunity.”

"Sanremo has no defensive and offensive core, and also lost its midfield playmaker. They liberated Lu Yang and placed Lu Yang's position at the top, hoping that Lu Yang could play as the offensive core in the frontcourt."

"Looking at past cases, Lu Yang has such potential."

The assistant was stunned.

Is the head coach agreeing with the opponent's tactics?

In fact, the head coach did have expectations.

Because Lu Yang's left-back play is actually an alternative core play in the frontcourt.

Also, when he played as a defensive midfielder at the Italian Star or at Sanremo, he frequently attacked the frontcourt and switched positions with the strikers to attack.

In fact, he has long proven that he is an excellent cerebellum.

You ask the cerebellum to do what the brain does, but he may not do it well.

But doing what the cerebellum itself should do is definitely not a big problem.

Sanremo prefers the latter when choosing between a low-profile cerebrum and a high-profile cerebellum.

Whether the choice of Sanremo is worthwhile depends on whether the height of the cerebellum is stronger than that of the ordinary brain.

In the next game, Lu Yang didn't send out a good threatening ball, because the two wings of the team were indeed restricted by the opponent.

Baizami and Fernandez couldn't get up at all, they were really no different from the left and right midfielders, and it was difficult to go deep into the third area.

But again, Sanremo's defense is relatively solid.

This is mainly due to Lu Yang's sweeping in the middle lane.

To tell the truth, there has never been a team's attacking midfielder who defended the door of their penalty area for the first time.

You are the core of the frontcourt attack!

You stayed in the backcourt for a long time, are you still playing offense?

This was especially profound when Arnold broke through Sanremo's left defense line and chose to cut inside.

boom!

Lu Yang hit Arnold from behind and easily hooked the football away in a physical confrontation.

Arnold signaled to the referee, but the referee said it was a good steal.

An angry Arnold turned around and chased after him. Lu Yang was brought down by Arnold in revenge.

The referee gave Arnold a yellow card.

Arnold was still too young.

He thought that Lu Yang, who was a midfielder, turned back on him because Lu Yang had a personal conflict with him and was targeting him.

But in fact, this is just the defensive task that Lu Yang should undertake in Suotu's arrangement.

So far, Lu Yang has performed very well.

In terms of attack, he can respond to the return pass from the left and right wingers.

In terms of defense, he made many steals and interceptions.

And once the attack fails, he will decisively return the pass, let the backcourt split again, and move the attacking flank, not for success, but for nothing.

In just the first thirty minutes, Lu Yang's running distance had already reached a terrifying 5,500 meters.

This may be the only flaw in his style of play.

It's too exhausting.

The modern attacking midfielder position consumes physical strength, not to mention Lu Yang is also a front midfielder who undertakes the B2B defense task.

After the referee showed the yellow card, he indicated that he could take a free kick, but Arnold was still looking for the referee and said that Lu Yang should also get the card just now.

The seasoned Ratuidi didn't talk nonsense at all and took a quick free kick.

After receiving the ball, Lu Yang took a big foot to the left.

Vision is one of his greatest strengths in this position.

Bayzami is in a good position and can sprint for a long distance with the ball.

The Brescia players just woke up like a dream and returned to defend.

Baizami successfully entered the third area of ​​attack. Although he had the opportunity to cross, for some reason, his football IQ was enlightened at this moment.

What is Brescia's weakest point now?

Back defense?

No, their defenders are always in position.

The quick free kick just now affected the Brescia midfielder.

Most of them were left behind by Lu Yang.

The forward striker made Lu Yang's speed and movement come into play at this moment.

Either they couldn't catch up with Lu Yang, or they were blocked by Lu Yang's movement and had to slow down.

Lu Yang is like a long eye in the back of his head~www.NovelMTL.com~ One person suppressed the defense of the three midfielders.

boom!

Baizami made a fake cross, but the opponent raised his foot to block it.

Then Bayzami switched positions, kicked up calmly, and pushed the football to the left side of the penalty area.

There, in Sanremo, it is called the Luyang area.

There, Lu Yang left behind a group of Brescia midfielders and rushed over.

The central defender of Brescia secretly said that something was wrong, and rushing out of the penalty area directly was a tough tackle.

This reaction can basically be given full marks.

If Lu Yang shoots directly, there is a high probability that he can block Lu Yang's shot with his own body.

If Lu Yang intends to stabilize, then the central defender will risk a foul and force Lu Yang down. The ball is too good.

Even if you play cards, you will recognize it.

It was a tough defense.

However……

Lu Yang lightly picked the football with his toes.

Then he leapt past the central defender with football.

Near the line of the big penalty area, Lu Yang landed first, and then when the football fell, he volleyed from the instep!

The football soared into the sky exaggeratedly, at least half a meter above the door frame.

However, when he was two meters away from the goal, he fell sharply and plunged into the net.

A sharp shot with an extremely exaggerated arc!

It's just unreasonable!

GOAL!

Lu Yang rushed to the corner flag area, his blood was bursting, and he roared at the camera excitedly: "We are going to advance! We will wait for you on the Coppa Italia schedule! Moric!"
