There was hardly any space left on his yellow card to write down times and player numbers.
Free kick in the attacking half.
Morici made a bold decision, he didn’t send the team’s defense into Zenit’s penalty area.
With only a few minutes left and leading by a goal, there was no need to give the opponent a chance for a counterattack.
So, Morici played a tactical free kick and quickly passed the ball back to their own half.
Ball control!
If Zenit can use foul tactics, why can’t San Remo passively control the ball?
Zenit started charging aggressively.
San Remo, however, passed the ball early to avoid giving the opponent a chance to foul.
Soon, the match entered the fifth minute of injury time.
In these few minutes, the ball was almost always under San Remo’s control.
Lu Yang and Belletti both returned to midfield.
Due to playing with five midfielders in the league for a long time, San Remo’s passing ability improved significantly, making them better at controlling the ball.
No one expected their prowess to first show in the European Competition.
This was something Sotu couldn’t foresee.
The last two minutes of the match.
Lu Yang signaled to Morici and Belletti with his eyes.
The two understood each other instantly.
After controlling the ball for a while, Morici directly made a through pass to Belletti.
Although Belletti didn’t get completely open, his handling was unexpected by the opponent.
He didn’t adjust or stop the ball, just directly crossed it with one touch.
In such a position, with such a pass, he had done it once before and created a goal!
So he didn’t need to overthink!
That’s a smart player!
Bam!
In the same spot, again, at the far post of Zenit’s penalty area.
Lu Yang charged in, storming into the penalty area.
He only needed to pause to have a chance for a direct shot on goal.
But Lu Yang didn’t stop because once he did, the Zenit central defender beside him would rush in front of Lu Yang, gaining the best position to contest the ball and disrupt this cross.
So Lu Yang intentionally ran past, causing the opponent to miss the chance to contest as well.
The next moment, Lu Yang turned, back facing the goal.
Everyone!
Whether it was the live audience or everyone following the game online, a word popped into their minds.
Bicycle kick!
No reason!
But everyone was absolutely sure Lu Yang would attempt a bicycle kick again!
Because he is Lu Yang!
Sure enough!
Under everyone’s gaze.
Lu Yang leaped high, his whole body spinning back.
His left foot was still behind him, but his right foot had already swung powerfully, striking the ball.
Bam!
This shot was powerful and fast, and... unlike a regular bicycle kick that shots directly toward the ground.
But rather... moved nearly parallel to the ground, heading straight for the top left corner of Zenit’s goal!
This was not an ordinary bicycle kick!
This was an overhead kick full of implausibility and filled with the shooter’s ambition!
If the last time Lu Yang’s bicycle kick assist would have been saved by the Zenit goalkeeper if not for Sogel’s touch.
Then this time, even if Ameluci was guarding this goal, he couldn’t save it!
Juventus Audi couldn’t do it either!
Not even Jesus!
Lu Yang said it!
The ball slammed into the net!
In Zenit’s home Petrovsky Stadium, all was silent.
There was no further sound.
Even the sound of the ball rubbing against the net seemed so clear.
Zenit players were all frozen in place.
Because they witnessed a miracle.
A miracle that completely killed them.
Lu Yang wasn’t as excited as before, he slowly walked toward the Corner Flag Area, speaking to the camera there: "This is the bicycle kick you wanted!"
Even professional journalists forgot to press the shutter button in this moment.
That bicycle kick had already become a silhouette, imprinted in everyone’s mind.
A vacuum period lasting ten seconds, perhaps the world became silent.
Until ten seconds later... with a roar!
The whole of European Football exploded instantly.
This was the bicycle kick Zenit’s fans and players wanted!
This was the bicycle kick La Liga fans and those who support the two geniuses wanted!
Now, it came!
But you... do you dare to want it?
