But the football did not bounce out of the goal line.
Ilich immediately counterattacked.
Unfortunately, Camihong was faster and controlled the ball at the baseline.
Ilich, overwhelmed by anger, made a reckless move and knocked Camihong down.
However, Camihong had learned some crafty moves from Bernulin and directly pressed the football by his side when he fell to the ground.
Even if the referee didn't blow the whistle, it would still be difficult for Ilich to take away the football and continue the attack.
Bang!
Ilich, who had already entered a frenzy state, lost all his usual rationality and demeanor and kicked the football hard.
Since the football was right next to Camihong's abdomen, this kick landed directly on Camihong.
The linesman immediately raised the flag.
The main referee blew the whistle to stop the game.
Ilich immediately turned around.
But Camihong got up and pushed Ilich back.
"What's wrong with you, playing football or kicking people!" Camihong was very angry.
At the same time, Bernulin, Palacios, Lam, and Canyes from the other side rushed over.
They surrounded Ilich.
Lam even pushed Ilich.
Ilich didn't fight back; he just glared at Lam.
"Hey, guys, it wasn't on purpose." Pompey rushed over.
Bernulin also held back the excited Camihong, saying, "Calm down, he's not a malicious person. I have played against him many times in Serie A; he's actually a nice guy."
"Today they... maybe they lost too badly..."
Afterward, Lu Yang, Morici, Bai Zhami, and others all returned.
Except for Kaint and the too-distant Fernandez, almost everyone from San Remo came.
In contrast, from Lazio, only the young Pompey came to support Ilich.
The other players either remained indifferent or walked over slowly from a distance.
For a moment, the red and white jerseys were tightly knit, while the blue jerseys were scattered everywhere, making the layout apparent from the stands.
"Okay, everyone calm down." Lu Yang spoke after checking with Camihong that he was okay, "Pompey, I understand how you and your teammates feel; there's nothing wrong with wanting to score."
"But we have no reason to let you score just like that. It's our responsibility to stop you from scoring."
"Don't let this happen again, Ilich. San Remo is a tough team, and if anything like this happens again, I will personally come to defend against you in the backfield!"
Ilich knew he was in the wrong and remained silent.
Pompey nodded as he led his big brother away.
However, the main referee still gave yellow cards to Ilich, Pompey, Lam, and others.
In fact, Ilich is indeed an honest person.
This match really made him see red due to the loss.
He had lost before.
But he had never lost in such a humiliating way.
Look at his teammates, what are they doing?
Enjoying Morici's dribbling?
And the Lazio head coach, smiling at the camera, what the hell are you smiling about? Your team is three goals behind, and you're not doing anything!
Even if you don't have a solution, at least pretend to adjust the formation or substitute some players. This can make people feel like you're still trying, that you're present at the sidelines, not lost in thought!
Due to this conflict, plus the celebration time of the three goals, the first half had four minutes of stoppage time.
In the last minute of stoppage time, Fernandez's shot was blocked by a central defender, sending the ball out of play.
San Remo had a corner kick opportunity.
Morici prepared to take the kick.
In the Lazio penalty area, the near post was fiercely contested, as Palacios and Lam were both there.
Conversely, there were not many people at the far post where Lu Yang was positioned.
Bang!
Morici seized this loophole and kicked straight to where Lu Yang was.
Next to Lu Yang was only a midfielder, and he positioned himself in a highly advantageous spot.
The football flew in, and Lu Yang didn't even need to jump; he easily headed the ball towards the goal.
The ball hit the ground; the speed wasn't fast.
At that moment, there were almost seven people in front of Lazio's goal.
But the ball rolled past their feet, and no one could stop its forward momentum.
Even the goalkeeper didn't expect that from among countless blue figures in front of him, seemingly the safest place, a black-and-white ball would suddenly appear.
This was simply too ironic.
Six or seven people!
The football rolled across the goal line, and the main referee indicated that the goal was valid.
Four to zero!
San Remo led four to zero at halftime, completely crushing Lazio!
Lu Yang scored a hat-trick in the first half, scoring at will!
Morici achieved a hat-trick of assists in the first half, and the San Remo twin stars were simply unstoppable!
The game then entered the halftime break.
The fans of San Remo couldn't remain calm; they celebrated wildly during these ten-plus minutes, knowing their team was on the verge of claiming an extraordinary massive victory!
Meanwhile, a third of Lazio's fans left early.
They just couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Today's Lazio was playing like crap!
Except for Ilich and Pompey, the other players weren't even playing football; they were just taking a stroll!
...
In the halftime break, inside the San Remo locker room.
"This is the weakest Serie A team I've ever played against, no exceptions." Camihong said, expressing disbelief, "Even last season's Sampdoria was stronger than them!"
"They've been crushed, apart from Savic and Pompey, there's no fighting spirit in the whole team," Morici said, "I feel no pressure in the middle at all."
