Football Should Be Played Like Me

Chapter 73: The Coppa Italia needs a miracle

"Mr. Chairman, I think you need to watch this game."

In the office of the President of the Italian Football Federation, the secretary reminded the Italian Football Federation President Maldivini.

Only when the leaders are anxious can they be regarded as caring little padded jackets by leaders.

The secretary obviously knew how to be a secretary.

Maldivini looked at the secretary's computer.

It was the second round of the Coppa Italia.

The Coppa Italia consists of eight rounds.

The Serie A teams start the competition from the third round.

So the games before that are not important at all.

Many people started watching from the third round.

After all, if you don't watch football in the top leagues, you should watch it!

But in the second round of the cup match, it is said that there are more than ten media at the scene.

This is strange.

At this time, the camera in the computer suddenly locked on a certain player.

After he received the ball on the wing, he did not rush to pass the ball because most of the passing routes were blocked by the opponent.

However, he carried the opponent's defender for a lateral dribble, and used two consecutive irregular Marseille maneuvers in the picture, stumbled and controlled the football under the pressure of three people.

I have to say, this action of protecting the ball is really ugly.

But the effect is really good.

In the end, under the pull of the opponent, this rather young-looking player stumbled to the ground.

However, the referee did not blow the whistle.

Not a black whistle.

It was because the player threw the football with his toes while he fell forward.

You can't tell if he hit the football on the way down or if he was passing the ball on purpose.

But that doesn't matter.

Because this pass tore through the opponent's sky and crossed the opponent's median line combination.

Then, the passer's partner, a 1.88-meter big center, under the helpless gaze of the opponent's goalkeeper, pushed the ball to the far corner of the goal.

Easy header to score!

Eighty percent of the credit goes to the passer.

"Lu?" Maldivini saw the name on the opponent's jersey, and then remembered something, "Is that Lu? The kid Maniero always mentioned? The Chinese who played with Sotu, Lu?"

The secretary nodded.

Maldivi looked inexplicable, and his eyes flashed.

Serie A is in decline, this is a fact that everyone can feel.

Correspondingly, there is also the issue of the gold content of the Italian Cup.

It is also a domestic cup, but whether it is the FA Cup in England or the Copa del Rey in Spain, it is stronger than the Coppa Italia in terms of influence.

As the president of the Italian Football Federation this term, Maldivini could have just let it go, and it would be nice not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors.

But... since he has all stood in this position, and encountered troubled times, how can he be worthy of his restless heart if he doesn't make some achievements?

After all, they have come!

The Italian Star project was established under his impetus.

And the effect is very good.

At least the younger generation of Italian fans are familiar with young stars in their own leagues and regions.

In their eyes, they no longer only have the talents of England, they also know the rising star Ceballos of Italy who will take off sooner or later in Monaco, the Italian whirlwind Parrot, and the Italian rear defense small tank Lahm, I know about the future Italian midfielder Moric and Lu Yang!

These young stars may not be able to play, and there may not be any outstanding young stars from England, Spain, Germany, France, Belgium, but... at least they have the foundation to become superstars... attention!

A player without attention cannot become a star or even a superstar.

Attention not only means attention, but also affects a player's ability to withstand pressure, spiritual pursuit, sense of honor, sense of mission and other qualities and decisions.

Without these, Wu Lei would not go abroad to play football. What's wrong with An Xin being the football champion in China?

But without these spiritual pursuits, a player will never become world-class.

There is a sentence that may not sound good. Although Wu Lei has now been reduced to the second division and has become a substitute, it seems that he has failed quite a bit in Europe, but... at least he has received the respect of this season of fans.

This is what the national football players of this era lack the most... The fans' Respai, the fans' respect!

Having said that, the success of the Italian Star is just a small success, a small attempt.

He proved that if you manage football with your heart, even if the top stars and coaches leave temporarily, Italian football will not fall into a trough.

Just like the NBA, there are enough stories and legends to attract enough fans.

When one day you don't have a story, even if you still have the 400 best stars on the planet, you can't stop the decline in ratings.

The reason why the FA Cup is more influential in Europe than the Coppa Italia is because it has more storytelling.

And now, Maldivini also wants to write a legend that belongs to the Coppa Italia.

Then he... needs a legendary male protagonist!

Looking at the entire European football, non-top league teams rarely have a good record in cup competitions.

If there is, it is a miracle.

And Sanremo has reached the second round and defeated a strong Serie B team with a chance to upgrade.

This means that as long as they maintain this level, it is possible for them to reach the fifth round.

Fifth round!

This is absolutely a miracle.

After a rough screening, Sanremo is really the only team that meets Maldivini's requirements.

First of all, their team has relatively strong strength.

They are almost invincible in the Serie C League. Although they only suffered a stalemate recently, the score against Brescia is enough to show that they have solved the problem.

Secondly, Sanremo has money!

Their chairman is a well-known and rich man in Italy, and he did not act because the team was not worthy. But now, in order to build the stadium and to make a name for itself, the old chairman finally intends to let the team rush for results.

Once again, they have a bridge of giants.

Their coach Sotu and player Ratuidi are all Milan's merits, just like Maldivini.

In fact, Maldivini had been teammates with Sotu for a while.

The title of Butcher of Sotu was only acquired after the old captain, Maldivini, left.

The relationship between Maldivini and Sotu, just like the relationship between Sotu and Ratuidi, and the relationship between Latuidi and Soger, is the relationship between the previous generation and the next generation.

The association has the resources to support its own people first. Is there a problem?

Finally, Sanremo still has a high level of attention.

Especially their player named Lu Yang.

It is rude to say that this year's Serie C has seen a huge increase in ratings because of the presence of Sanremo Luyang.

Don't doubt, there are not many viewers in Serie C, especially online viewers.

But Lu Yang...he has a lot of followers all over Europe.

Although those people are most concerned about the relationship between Lu Yang and Sophia, and not necessarily all of them like Lu Yang.

But that doesn't prevent those people from getting to know some of Lu Yang's games by the way.

It can be said that Sanremo has fulfilled all of Maldivi's fantasies.

At this time, on the computer screen, Lu Yang was knocked down by an angry Brescia player at the last moment and won a well-positioned frontcourt free kick.

Although the Brescia players recovered a goal, the 4-1 score still left them faceless, so some people were angry, right Arnold.

The position of this free kick is not far outside the penalty area, but it is less than 25 meters away from the goal.

It's not the elevator ball area that Lu Yang is good at, it's a little too close.

But because Morich was away, Lu Yang deservedly became the No. 1 setter.

Lu Yang held his breath and lifted his foot to take a shot.

Brescia's players jumped high, they said nothing to allow Sanremo to score again.

Four to one is already a shameful score.

However, after these people took off, they all looked at their feet in horror.

Because...the football passed under their feet.

The goalkeeper had no idea that the football didn't fly from above.

Anyone staring in the air and then suddenly looking closer to the ground, the pupil needs a period of reaction time to shrink and zoom. During this period, the human eye is essentially unable to see things clearly, and it will also produce a sense of dizziness.

This is the biggest reason why a free kick can be scored on the ground.

Lu Yang took a free kick unexpectedly on the ground, helping him complete a hat-trick!

At the same time, he also participated in all the goals in this game!

With three goals and two assists, he became the well-deserved MVP of the game!

After the game, the current ranking of goals and assists in the Coppa Italia was displayed on the big screen.

Lu Yang scored five goals, topping the scoring list.

Four assists, also leading the assist list.

This number of goals is already the data of the top scorers and assists in the past several Coppa Italia.

"It's him!" Maldivi was conquered by Lu Yang's last kick.

There are many great players, but very few smart players.

If the league wants to support it, it also needs the cooperation of the players.

Otherwise, I will praise you today, and tomorrow you will say that the Football Association is not good here and there. This is not a slap in the face.

There are also those mindless players on and off the court, who eat what they shouldn't eat, make random appointments, have special hobbies, and participate in political teams that they don't understand at every turn. Many people have a bad impression of sports stars. .

At this point, Maldivini was very relieved to Lu Yang.

He has seen this young man being interviewed, mature and decent.

The most important thing is that old friends like Manello and Soto are also familiar with this young man. Just click on him to keep him within the controllable range and cooperate with the promotion of the Football Association, so as to maximize the effect, right?

"Call Maniello, he has a high probability of becoming the head coach of the Italian national team in the future. He is qualified and obliged to participate in the strategy of revitalizing Italian football." Maldivoni said.

The secretary then called and invited Manello to visit the Football Association headquarters in a while.

……

"Sanremo found the answer, Lu Yang scored three goals and two assists to dominate the top two lists of goals and assists in the Coppa Italia! 》

"The True God Returns! He can't play an organizational midfielder, but he can become an unstoppable all-round attacking midfielder! 》

"Central defender to attacking midfielder! The Serie C teenager shines in the Cup! 》

"Legendary team San Remo, Lectra Serie B strong team, how far can they go in the Coppa Italia? 》

"Legend Sail! What he said last season, he is doing it! 》

"Italian Star Shining Cup, is gold, it will never be buried! 》

"Face the odds, he will never admit defeat, this is the young player that Mr. Winter is most optimistic about! 》

"Prospects for the Cup, who will be the next team to fall at the feet of Sanremo? 》

After the second round of the Coppa Italia, there was a storm of public opinion.

For media practitioners, this is a bit abrupt.

This level of public opinion is almost the same as the previous fourth round of the cup.

Obviously, someone was blowing wind behind him.

But the fans don't mind, as long as you are willing to blow it, the fans are willing to watch it.

It sounds like such an exciting article, just read it as a pastime.

Everyone may not fully believe the contents, but at least they understand a little more.

In fact, there are quite a few cases of this kind of official touting.

A lot of times, some small teams play a few good games and are inexplicably reported by major news. Here, there is the propaganda behind the small team, but there is also no lack of official help.

Everyone wants to see the dark horse counterattack.

In theory, the Football Association is very willing to support the dark horse team.

It's just that these small teams can really become dark horses, and very few of them go to the later rounds.

Under the widespread attention, Suotu, as the team's coach and the biggest coffee, accepted an exclusive interview with Hans, a special correspondent of the Live Football News.

Hans: There is a team. Although the average age of the team is reasonable, most of their players are young players under the age of 20 and older players over the age of 30.

They experienced a wave of injuries last season. As many as 11 players in the team were injured and suspended for more than three games!

This season, their core players suffered serious injuries again.

But against this background, they reversed their direct rivals in the last game of last season and won the Italian championship. This season, they are currently second in the Serie C standings, and they are about to perform a miracle of newly promoted horses.

They also defeated Serie B powerhouse Brescia in the second round of the Coppa Italia.

Today, let's take a look at Sanremo, where "the legend is setting sail"!

The guest we invite today is the famous butcher in Italian football and the current head coach of Sanremo, Sotu. Hello Sotu, Sanremo has been a bit rough recently, can you tell us about it?

Suotu: Of course. Some time ago, the core of our team suffered... It almost broke us. I believe everyone can see that we struggled in the next few games... But as I said, Lu Yang is an amazing player, he can not only appear in any position you need~www.NovelMTL.com ~You can also complete any task you assign.

After some adjustments, I think we have found the right path... We are very confident in the upcoming fixtures, whether it is the league or the cup, we will try our best to do our best.

As for our goals for this season...I have told the players at San Remo that the most important thing I can give them is not tactics, little tricks, not even football ideas, but... champions Gene!

Sanremo, we have champion genes, we only play for champions!

This interview is very exciting.

All Sanremo fans are going crazy with joy.

This is Sanremo, we only play for the championship!

In the same way, this passage has also been extended to indicate that Sanremo has greater ambitions in the Coppa Italia.

This made the whole Italian football lively.

There is a spirit of recognizing Suotu, because a professional player can never lose his desire for championships, even if you are in the D and C leagues.

Some people think that Soto is crazy, but defeating Brescia, who has a substitute lineup, is like beating a giant team.

These people come and go on social platforms every day, and the battle is not pleasant.

And these public opinions have become the popularity of the Coppa Italia, and many people are full of interest in this year's Coppa Italia.

The value of the Coppa Italia is, invisibly, really slowly increasing.

Maybe after the end of this season, looking back, people will realize that it doesn't really matter who is the champion. What matters is that this year's Coppa Italia has so many topics and expectations, and it is so legendary!

And this is what Maldivini wanted.
