"Oh my god, what did I just see! This is San Remo’s longest goal in the Italian Third Division so far! Thirty-five meters! How can he fire from such a distance?"
"Lu Yang’s speed is really fast, after intercepting the ball, he dribbled all the way down, and Feipi’s defenders couldn’t keep up with him. Bai Zhami cut through the middle, causing trouble for Feipi’s defenders."
"It was this moment of hesitation that gave Lu Yang the best angle and space."
"A violent volley, this is Lu Yang’s forte. Whether it was Carrel or Best, they were not short of such brilliant goals. As the Crown Prince of Purple Lily and Italy’s Best, it’s no surprise Lu Yang has such capability."
"There are no wrong names, only wrong nicknames! Every title Lu Yang holds explains his terror!"
"The cheers at the scene are loud, San Remo hasn’t won in four games, now Lu Yang brings them hope of victory. Today, can they defend the dignity of their home court? Let’s wait and see!"
During the celebration, Lu Yang found Bai Zhami and said to him, "Play just like that, if our coordination isn’t smooth enough, use language to reduce the difficulty of coordinating."
"You just need to receive my instructions at the first moment, and we can play a different kind of football."
Bai Zhami nodded, although the goal just now had no statistical correlation with him, his cover was important. One could even say, it’s a very sophisticated playing style.
It was one of the few times he participated in the team’s offense, he was happy to make an impact.
In fact, in many soccer and basketball games, players use language to guide each other’s cooperation often.
In soccer, because players from many teams come from all over the world, the languages are not unified, so there is a language barrier between some players. Language ability is even something that many teams consider when signing players.
At the same time, on the field, the cooperative language among teammates can be understood by the opponents, which in turn guides their defense against you.
Quite unsightly.
Feipi’s right-back remembered the sentence "You go to the middle" that Lu Yang said to Bai Zhami just now.
He wouldn’t let this naive coordination happen again in front of him.
Whistle!
The whistle blows to start the game.
The match resumes.
This time, Feipi’s right-back wasn’t so recklessly pushing forward.
Without his assistance, Feipi’s right winger found it hard to get past Lu Yang.
He lost the ball several times in front of Lu Yang.
Without Lu Yang, San Remo’s left flank is the corridor for enemies.
With Lu Yang, San Remo’s left is a no-passage zone for the opponents.
Don’t underestimate the change brought by just one player, it significantly impacts the entire situation.
Latu Yidi no longer needs to frequently assist the left-back in defense, reducing the risk of losing position in the middle.
Whether the opponent attacks from the middle or transfers from the left to the right, neither is as smooth as before, stabilizing San Remo’s defensive performance significantly.
This is the qualitative change brought by excellent players.
For example, in the Champions League final between Chelsea and Manchester City, it was because City’s defender Stones repeatedly fell short in duels against Werner, allowing Werner to create several killing opportunities.
This led to another City defender, Dias, not trusting Stones’ one-on-one defense.
In that fatal goal for Chelsea, Dias chose to help Stones defend wide against Werner, thus pulling open the position, exposing a flaw, allowing Mount to play behind, with a through-pass assisting Havertz in scoring.
So the victory or defeat of a 1V1 sometimes equates to the victory or defeat between teams.
Bang!
Lu Yang again successfully intercepts the ball, then drives forward without passing.
Feipi right winger quickly returns to defend, but surprisingly fails to outrun Lu Yang, falling far behind.
Feipi’s midfielder quickly returns to position in the backfield, blocking Lu Yang’s route for a cutting angle, preventing Lu Yang from having another long-range shot opportunity like before.
Seeing no chance, Lu Yang passed the ball to Bai Zhami, who came forward to receive.
Bai Zhami, after getting the ball, tried to surpass the opposing right-back, but the opponent would rather retreat and defend rather than make a rash tackle, so Bai Zhami found no opportunity, and after advancing a few meters, could only pass the ball back to Lu Yang.
"Cut in!" Lu Yang shouted after receiving the ball.
Bai Zhami immediately made an off-ball cut in.
Feipi’s right-back quickly followed Bai Zhami and shouted, "He’s going to cross!"
A winger cutting in and a defender crossing, that’s a very simple flank coordination.
Suddenly, Feipi’s penalty area was in chaos.
Sogel also began to engage in a physical battle in the penalty area, preparing to seize the spot.
Feipi’s midfielder following Lu Yang stretched out his leg, intending to block Lu Yang’s pass.
Who would have thought Lu Yang would fake a move over the ball, then perform a step-over and cut in, dribbling past this midfielder.
Lu Yang didn’t plan to cross?
He’s going for a cut-in shot?
Feipi right-back wanted to die.
You told your teammate to cut in, and you’re also cutting in?
Do you think you’re a winger?
Aren’t you going to cross?
Otherwise, your teammate’s run was in vain!
Don’t you understand such a basic tactical rule?
Feipi right-back could only rush and cover Lu Yang.
Accordingly, in the penalty area, Feipi’s right-center back moved to the right, marking Bai Zhami.
The left-center back moved to the center, confronting Sogel.
The left back positioned himself in the left-center back’s spot, expanding his defensive range outward, watching for the advancing Versachi.
It can be said, one change led to subsequent changes that were closely linked, but Feipi’s defenders didn’t leave any gaps near the small penalty area, their adaptation was successful.
