Another main central defender who played in the second half was on the side holding the line.
Bam!
The soccer ball dropped from the sky, and due to the intense collision, neither Lu Yang nor the AC Milan central defender touched the ball.
The ball bounced high.
Under normal circumstances, many would slow down and wait for the ball to drop since a ball bouncing in the air moves very slowly.
But before the ball reached its highest point, Lu Yang directly headed it forward.
This move was unexpected for the AC Milan central defender.
As a result, Lu Yang got half a body’s lead and pressed on the left rear side.
Similarly, just as the ball landed, another AC Milan main central defender had seen through Lu Yang’s breakthrough path.
Lu Yang wanted to cut inside from the left!
So he decisively stood his ground and blocked Lu Yang’s path.
However, before the ball landed a second time, Lu Yang flicked it with his foot.
With a gentle flick, he performed a move like "Scoop the Moon from the Sea"!
The ball flew over the main central defender’s head, completing the inside cut in the air.
And Lu Yang also paused, sidestepped the main central defender, and completed the inside cut, coming around from behind him.
The AC Milan main central defender staggered, but his professional ability was extremely strong, and even in a situation of being bypassed without defense, he forcibly shifted his center of gravity, chased after Lu Yang, and tried to tug at Lu Yang’s shirt, attempting to stop him.
It can be said that both Lu Yang and this main central defender displayed quite strong athletic capabilities.
If there were no others, Lu Yang’s breakthrough could almost be described as perfect.
But unfortunately...
AC Milan’s coach had specific arrangements for Lu Yang beforehand.
AC Milan’s left-back Chaloba moved to the center of the penalty area when the team’s defensive line shifted to the right.
Seeing Lu Yang take down two players on the left and complete the inside cut, how could he sit still?
Just in time!
Lu Yang’s final flick, though it bypassed the central defender, temporarily put the ball out of his control.
Chaloba rushed in preparing to kick the ball away!
Destroying Lu Yang’s solo breakthrough attempt, Chaloba’s performance in this game would likely satisfy most people.
He thought, as he extended his foot.
But just as he extended his foot, Lu Yang, who was initially some distance from the ball, suddenly broke free from the pulling of the main central defender. He suddenly exerted strength, causing the player pulling him to tumble backward, almost falling.
Bam!
Lu Yang’s head quickly nudged the ball away from under Chaloba’s studs, his head at that moment less than five centimeters away from the studs!
Chaloba watched in disbelief as the ball and Lu Yang passed by him, but due to the inability to interrupt his flying kick motion, he continued to fly to the side.
Bam!
Chaloba collided hard with his team’s staggering main central defender, both falling near the penalty area.
There were no more pursuers behind Lu Yang.
The AC Milan goalkeeper noticed Lu Yang entering the penalty area with the ball in a one-on-one situation, and his heart tightened.
He decisively charged out.
The ball was at Lu Yang’s right foot!
Lu Yang’s right foot was injured, and he would likely switch the ball to his left foot.
This adjustment time was enough for the AC Milan goalkeeper to pounce at Lu Yang’s feet and seize the ball.
He was betting on this!
No matter how heroic Lu Yang was, discomfort remained discomfort.
Lu Yang’s two goals in this match were both scored with the right foot, but they were all soft shots with little power.
Rather than Lu Yang’s signature powerful shots.
This clearly indicated a problem with his right foot.
There is a saying, "Three times lucky," but not beyond that!
In such an important moment, potentially clinching the game with a goal, who would use an uncomfortable, severely injured leg to shoot? Lu Yang would surely choose the safer left foot, surely!
The AC Milan goalkeeper can only take this gamble to possibly...
Bam!
A flash of white.
A gust of wind swept past the AC Milan goalkeeper’s face.
He had only made it halfway out before the ball was already in the net behind him.
Lu Yang’s heavy artillery made its return!
A right-footed Batigoal blast, completely unreasonable!
"It’s in! The ball is in!"
"Last-minute victory! This is a decisive goal!"
"The ball is in! Lu Yang once again stormed the dragon’s den, single-handedly bypassing three AC Milan defenders, causing a crash in AC Milan’s defense! I think this crash will be remembered for a long time!"
"With one powerful shot, he silenced all doubts!"
"Oh! If I remember correctly, wasn’t the recent trick shot and the power shot, similar to what he previously used to prove himself capable of playing soccer in the presence of Sotu?"
"Or should I say, was Lu Yang just rehearsing? Did he just rehearse the process of killing them in front of all the AC Milan players, without AC Milan’s awareness!"
"This might just be a coincidence, but I prefer to call it fate! At the very least, without that rehearsal earlier, Lu Yang wouldn’t have such a smooth touch on the ball."
"AC Milan led three to zero in the first half, yet after forty-five minutes, they were down three to four! Look at Izalelt and Praxedes’ expressions, they must regret being substituted early!"
"San Remo seemed divinely inspired; they equalized four goals in the second half, making a comeback against AC Milan!"
"Three minutes remaining in the match, can AC Milan refuse a humiliating defeat and take the game into extra time?"
After the goal, Lu Yang clenched his fists, extending only his index fingers, then raised his arms to the sky, as if bathed in the glory of God.
