"They simply can’t stop you! Brother!" Lu Yang rushed to Sevajos, encouraging him.
"You’re practically a sharpshooter!" Sevajos also hugged Lu Yang, and then everyone came over to celebrate together.
This goal clearly eased the tension among the Star of Italy Team players.
They have the ability to break through the opponent’s goal.
This is important.
Of course, the Star of Italy also has their troubles, which is their passing and controlling isn’t working today.
Many people think that passing and controlling means just passing continuously.
But in reality, control is the core.
Often, to achieve the effect of passing and controlling, there must be ball-holding ability, awareness, and ability to stabilize when the opponent is not pressing.
Being able to maintain possession when the opponent is pressing.
This requires technique plus movement plus... physicality!
But the current Star of Italy Team obviously can’t achieve this.
Especially when the opposing team is pressing collectively, no one can hold the ball, not even Morici can withstand the opponents’ hits.
Lu is steady enough, but he was just taken down by the opponent while trying to stabilize.
So, in the upcoming match, the Star of Italy Team still struggled a bit.
And their air defense is really hopeless.
The opposing player number eight again completed a steal against Sevajos, then passed around Lu Yang with a one-two with their right winger.
This time Lu Yang couldn’t manage to defend against two players alone.
He is human, not a god.
The opposing right winger crossed the ball.
The opposing central forward once again scored a header over Lam’s head.
A double! Millwall leads again.
Their head coach nodded; this central forward was their main summer transfer, meant to compensate for another star forward poached away.
Now it seems the effect is quite good.
Although Millwall might be weaker this season, staying in the Championship shouldn’t be a problem.
If they can seize the opportunity to sneak further in the FA Cup or League Cup, reaching the quarter-finals or even semi-finals would make for another successful season.
By then, tickets to big clubs will be almost ready.
On the field.
After taking the lead, Millwall didn’t get careless this time; they used ruthless hard defense to once again break the devil’s wings of Star of Italy.
Too domineering!
Even the big central forward Sogel from Star of Italy is somewhat afraid to enter the penalty area.
Damn, the opponent’s hits really hurt.
After this game, he estimated he would have many bruises all over.
No wonder the media and coaches now advise young players not to play in England, but to go to places like Ligue 1, Eredivisie, and Portuguese Super League.
The football scene in England really isn’t a place for the faint-hearted.
Damn, it’s all tanks!
The attack of Star of Italy once again got paralyzed.
And with the lesson learned from last time, Lu Yang now found it very difficult to help Sevajos attract defenders.
Lu Yang could somewhat withstand the confrontations, but barely even-handed, it was hard to gain an advantage.
Until the first half was about to end, Morici, who was also struggling, suddenly flashed with inspiration and executed his signature half-turn fast pass and shoot!
Most players wouldn’t expect a player facing away from the goal to suddenly kick a shooting pass.
Millwall’s defense was not very tight, their midfield was penetrated instantly, and the defense couldn’t catch up.
Lu Yang appeared in the area of the last goal and shot fiercely again!
Yes, it was Lu Yang again!
The synergy between Morici and Lu Yang is terrifying in this way.
While he passed and shot, Lu Yang was running but hadn’t found an opportunity yet.
But Morici just believed Lu Yang could run into that gap.
Similarly, while Lu Yang was running, Morici hadn’t even received the ball yet, but Lu Yang believed that as long as he reached that gap, Morici’s pass would come.
One dared to run, the other dared to pass.
An excellent opportunity presented itself.
Bang!
The Heavy Cannon took a quick lift shot, unstoppable!
Bam!
Unfortunately, the heavens did not cooperate.
The shot hit directly on the crossbar, and the football bounced out.
The whole crowd sighed.
They might not be fans of the Star of Italy Team, they just thought such a brilliant shot should have been a goal.
But the crisis wasn’t over.
The ball bounced in Sogel’s direction, who had moved out.
He contested with the center-back and took up a favorable position to hit a volley without stopping the ball!
But perhaps due to the fierce contest, the shot was too light, and the ball speed wasn’t fast.
The goalkeeper reacted promptly, but because the football was spinning too much, he cleared it away for safety.
Just when the Millwall players thought it was over.
Parrot, who had been floating near the penalty area and played as the right shadow forward today, successfully took the spot and struck again with a grounder.
The football passed through the legs of several players and entered the net!
Star of Italy midfield equalized at the end!
The score, two to two!
"The ball is in! Parrot has scored! Did Porto’s coaching staff see that? They should start Parrot; he has unparalleled goal-scoring instincts! He can appear in the right place, he is a true finisher!"
"Of course, Sogel’s performance on this goal was also excellent; he almost scored! His ability to contest is trustworthy! To take a shot in such an environment is itself a showcase of skill!"
"Lu Yang’s relentless running finally paid off, his heavy cannon shot was nerve-wracking. So now, Millwall’s trouble is about to begin, will they dare to let Lu Yang roam freely in the second half?"
