Throughout the stadium, countless gasps filled the air.
Accompanied by the jubilant shouts of San Remo fans: "Just this?"
"Just this?"
"Just this?"
Sampdoria fans were silent, unable to utter a single word.
Because the fact was just as Lu Yang mentioned, Serie A teams only lasted eleven seconds under San Remo’s play.
Isn’t it "Just this"?
Do you call this coincidence?
Is this an accident?
Is this a heavy blow?
Does it matter?
They scored, and that’s that.
It’s clear everyone knows Lu Yang is showboating, but similarly, everyone knows he deserves to!
That nonchalant "Just this" is the ultimate disdain for Sampdoria.
Just like the disdain Sampdoria showed for San Remo before the game.
"F*ck! Beat those hillbillies!"
"Get out of Marassi Stadium!"
"Kill them! Sampdoria will definitely win!"
"Make them feel our anger! Score, we need to score!"
Almost until Lu Yang had returned to his half, Sampdoria’s side finally reacted and became furious.
Even Sampdoria’s players had flushed faces, their fists clenched, wanting to confront Lu Yang.
Luckily, they were held back by some level-headed players.
Otherwise, Sampdoria might have had too many injured and had to end the match early.
Speaking of fighting, Brother Lu sure wouldn’t hold back.
Various TV commentators also weighed in on Lu Yang’s actions.
It’s undeniable that some commentators have grown fond of Lu Yang.
This player is just too provocative.
Can’t remember the names of San Remo and Samp sub players?
Lack the professional vocabulary in your commentary?
Can’t see the match’s big picture, unable to analyze both teams’ tactics?
No worries, talk about Lu Yang!
Whether you criticize or praise him, talking about Lu Yang is the right move!
The key is that the audience loves it too!
Host of the Spanish Sixth Television: "Oh, this is just so rude, who does he think he is?"
Guest Italian veteran left-back Taji: "How is it rude? He didn’t even use foul language like Samp’s fans did; he only said two words."
Host: "But the insulting meaning behind those two words is just too strong!"
Taji: "Just this?"
Host: "If I weren’t afraid of losing, I’d really want to hit you."
Taji: "So I say, it’s an issue with your own mentality. I’ve interacted with Lu, he’s very smart; on the field, he’s like a god!"
"He has Napoleon’s dominance and prestige, Zhuge Liang’s wisdom and tactical prowess, King Leonidas of Sparta’s might and courage! If kickoff pressure is part of their tactics, then this ’Just this’ must be one of their team’s strategies as well."
Host: "Altogether quite impolite, he’s not even a star yet and he’s already so disregarding of others."
Taji: "So what do you expect? Football isn’t a game, football is war! Understand war? From the moment players step onto the turf, their only task is... to defeat the opponent!"
...
While Lu Yang’s "Just this" buzzes across the web, on the Marassi Stadium pitch, Samp players are launching a major offensive.
But their attacking players were careless.
On their front line, there wasn’t even a main player, and in the midfield, there was only one traditional starter, with the defense relatively intact, but the goalkeeper was a substitute.
Moreover, Samp’s defensive line in Serie A, bluntly speaking, ranks in the bottom three.
So...
Latu Yidi effortlessly intercepted between Samp’s unfamiliar and unpolished midfield and forward line.
Don’t underestimate him in the Italian Third Division, but your grandpa is still your grandpa.
Latu Yidi’s defensive quality, aside from the elite clubs, truly draws no disdain.
Samp players promptly rushed towards San Remo’s two full-backs, fully aware of San Remo’s tactical system.
Full-backs are San Remo’s biggest outlet for the ball.
Wingers are San Remo’s key reception points.
Lu Yang is the free agent linking the front and the back.
If you stop Mattias, Camihong, and Lu Yang, San Remo’s attacking system will collapse.
Becher’s solved issues in San Remo’s attack, enriched San Remo’s offensive tactics, but couldn’t overcome the lineup flaws of a 4-2-1-3.
However... Latu Yidi horizontally passed to Morici.
Becher’s limitations don’t mean everyone’s limited.
In San Remo, besides Lu Yang, there’s someone else who can break the lineup shackles.
Morici holds the ball, facing the opposition’s pressing, he remains unflustered.
A Marseille Turn, like a shepherd boy in floating white robes.
Then, at his signal, the retreating Becher received Morici’s pass, while Morici moved laterally in midfield.
The opponents rushed to Becher, but Becher could return the ball to Morici without any adjustment.
The opponents blocked the previous moment’s route between Morici and Becher but can’t block the next moment.
Because Morici’s position, at every moment, is constantly changing.
Bam!
Morici deftly dribbled and controlled the ball several times, then passed back to Latu Yidi.
The opponents failed to intercept.
Latu Yidi watched Morici run into an unattended spot and passed the ball to Morici.
The opponents pressed again.
In a double team, Morici calmly executed an outside-of-foot lob, landing the ball two meters in front of Camihong, who favored standing slightly behind the midfield.
At this moment, before Camihong, there’s nothing but open space, vast and free.
