When you’re on the field, aren’t you pretty wild?
Can’t you be a bit wild with me too?
Even if you’re a bit of a flirt, I wouldn’t mind, as long as you don’t bring it home, it’s fine.
But you just... sigh...
It’s undeniable that on the road of "bringing home Lu," Sofia still has quite a long way to go.
...
After the fifth round of the cup, San Remo was awarded a rare seven-day break.
Sotu gave everyone a two-day holiday and then began the team training.
Fernandez returned during this time.
His strain was healed.
But regarding his use, Sotu and Old Tom had clear restrictions.
They didn’t want Fernandez to become a fragile player.
This kid should have a promising career, and it shouldn’t be ruined by injuries.
If all goes well, Fernandez will share playing time with the fatigued Bai Zhami.
And Belletti will play more in the last twenty minutes, replacing either of them or Sogel.
Sogel also needs rest!
When San Remo takes off Sogel, they’ll switch to a 442 formation.
If Bai Zhami is playing, he and Becher’s will form the double forward line, Belletti will play right midfielder, and Lu Yang will play left midfielder.
If Bai Zhami is not present, Fernandez will play left midfielder, and Lu Yang and Becher’s will form the double forward line.
Even though neither of them is a traditional central forward.
But Becher’s ball control and dribbling, and Lu Yang’s ability to confront and run to the sides, can partially play the role of a central forward.
Of course, only partially.
This rotation is based on San Remo’s significant advantage in the Italian Third Division, and also on Becher’s correctly recognizing his status and role in the team.
If Becher’s cannot adjust his mentality, Sotu won’t use him.
Additionally, from this rotation, next season, San Remo needs a backup central forward to allow Sogel to have proper rotations.
February 16th.
The Italian Third Division’s 26th round kicks off.
San Remo VS Novara.
In this match, Becher’s was on the substitute bench.
And if nothing unexpected happens, he won’t get even a minute of playing time.
After the last game, Sotu talked to him.
Sotu told Becher’s, I’ve given you and Lu Yang all the conditions for fair competition, but you didn’t respect the team, respect Lu Yang, or respect me as the Head Coach.
Until you adjust your attitude, you won’t get any opportunity to play.
But still, Sotu had Becher’s on the substitute bench.
This is definitely psychological torment for Becher’s.
If he weren’t on the roster, he could just go out and party.
Have some drinks, book a model, squander freely.
But Sotu’s arrangement hits Becher’s right in the kidneys.
Sotu smiled slightly at it.
Are the words "famous coach" mere talk?
Becher’s experienced all this; Sotu had seen too much in Milan and the Italy National Team back then.
Ensuring that people are educated and compliant, begging to play or begging to have their legs tackled for total liberation.
The 15th minute of the first half.
Fernandez, who returned and started, attempted to break through the opponent on the right flank. The injury made him pause, finally giving him time to see how others play soccer.
Becher’s biggest flaw is precisely what Fernandez needs to improve.
In the first fifteen minutes of this game, he frequently tried to create threats to help Lu Yang share the pressure.
This time, although he didn’t fully get past the opponent, he shook open space and attracted the opponent’s fullback’s marking.
Bam!
Fernandez made a horizontal pass, sending it to the right side of the penalty area rib.
Lu Yang and the opponent’s defensive midfielder ran simultaneously towards that spot.
Lu Yang was half a body ahead in the confrontation.
But the opponent had a pulling motion with his hand.
Generally, in such a situation, forwards find it hard to have a shooting opportunity.
Even if they shoot, it ends up being low-quality shots, just like Becher’s before.
In fact, shooting in such an environment hasn’t been Lu Yang’s strong suit.
He excels at shaking off defenders through extensive running and then shooting in open space.
Those who excel at this type of confrontational shooting, counting one by one in all of Italy, there aren’t more than five.
Carrel, Perrotta... The most recent one would be Talista.
But now, this list needs updating.
Because someone has achieved Batigoal!
Bam!
Lu Yang kicked fiercely during the confrontation.
The ball speed was ridiculously fast.
The Novara goalkeeper clearly judged the football’s path, diving to save.
However, the shot’s chosen angle was simply too tricky.
Upper right corner deadlock!
It’s an almost impossible position to save.
The football rushed into the net, raising the goal net high, creating countless ripples.
Undoubtedly, this is Lu Yang’s Batigoal!
"GOAL! The ball’s in!"
"San Remo takes the lead one to zero."
"Young Fernandez provides an assist in his first match after returning; he’s not troubled by injuries."
"Of course, the credit for this goal mainly goes to Lu Yang. He turned a not-so-great shot opportunity into a goal, and today his shooting accuracy is excellent!"
"Lu Yang’s previous shots rarely pursued angles like this. His goals mostly resulted from suddenness and power. Such shots possessing both power and accuracy are extremely rare."
