Comparison between people leads to frustration!
"By the way." Lu Yang took two steps and suddenly turned back, saying, "I don’t know if anyone has told you, but you look really good when you smile."
Laveran was taken aback.
What’s with this "friendly advance"?
Could it be that Lu Yang is a masochist?
But following Lu Yang’s gesture, Laveran looked at the big screen, which was showing the wonderful free kick goal just now.
And before the goal, even at the moment of the goal, Laveran’s face was still wearing a smile that said, "This ball went flying."
Isn’t that just looking really good when smiling?
"F*ck!" Laveran was so angry his hand was shaking.
After provoking Laveran this time, Lu Yang didn’t charge at him anymore.
He started playing on the wing, helping Praxedes or Canyes break through.
Laveran wanted to kill the enemy, but he was powerless to reverse the situation; he couldn’t possibly chase Lu Yang everywhere.
In the last minute of the first half, Lu Yang and Praxedes continued to cooperate, moving into the attacking third.
Praxedes cut in without the ball.
Lu Yang pretended to head to the bottom line but soon made a flower-foot pass.
Canisell, defending Lu Yang, reacted a step slow; not only did he miss the ball, he was also faked out by Lu Yang’s pass, almost hurting himself.
Gudiola, who was watching the match, shyly covered his forehead.
A Barça player being shown up like this would be disgraceful if it got out.
After all, Barça is a technical team.
Praxedes rushed into the penalty area, but the chemistry between him and Lu Yang needed work; he was unsure if Lu Yang would pass, or if he did, where he’d pass, so he turned his back to the goal.
As soon as he turned, he saw the ball already approaching his feet.
At this moment, he was extremely annoyed.
He missed an opportunity.
He still didn’t trust Lu Yang enough.
If he hadn’t turned his back to the goal, the ball would’ve directly come half a meter in front of him, allowing him half a step to adjust for a shot!
But now, with his back to the goal, he might...
Moreover, Praxedes clearly remembered Laveran should be right behind him.
Turning with the ball, Laveran would definitely poke it away.
Laveran had enough skill for that.
"Shoot!"
Lu Yang also saw that there were no passing routes around Praxedes.
Ancelotti and Perrotta’s positions were blocked.
But if Praxedes could shoot, there was a path to scoring.
Laveran didn’t believe Praxedes could directly shoot.
The Portugal goalkeeper thought the same.
In desperation, Praxedes could only heed Lu Yang’s advice.
Thus, he didn’t stop the ball; he let it go by his feet.
But he quickly spun around with the ball.
A one-hundred-eighty-degree spin and shoot.
After kicking the ball, Praxedes was immediately stunned, dizzy.
He felt self-reproach.
Getting old!
Previously, he could turn three hundred and sixty degrees without feeling dizzy like now.
He really let down that beautiful through ball from Xiaolu.
But the next moment, Lu Yang already rushed toward Praxedes.
"Amazing! Why play left-back? If you played left winger, Robben wouldn’t stand a chance!" Lu Yang hugged Praxedes, jumping excitedly.
Praxedes’ mind froze.
Did that just happen...
He turned his head and saw the ball indeed lying quietly in Portugal’s goal.
Just now, that shot... went in?
This...
"Wow! Praxedes and Lu Yang are in sync, and at the end Lu Yang’s through ball allowed him to make a stunning spin shot directly into the corner!"
"What a fantastic goal! Perhaps one of the most remarkable goals of Praxedes’ career!"
"Everyone knew Praxedes was skilled with his feet apart from heading, but no one expected him to be this skilled!"
"Two to two! Italy has equalized! This team’s resilience is truly frightening!"
"Barcelona’s Canisell facing the duo of Lu Yang and Praxedes proves inexperienced. Laveran must assist Canisell more; otherwise, this side could become Italy’s breakthrough point."
"For Portugal, the only good news is that the first half is nearing its end, giving them time to adjust their tactics and mentality."
"But the bad news is, with the current live score, Italy and France Team rank in the top two, with Portugal in third. If the game ends with these scores, Portugal will miss out on advancing!"
"Tension continues! The match remains tense!"
"It’s up to Portugal to rediscover their initial form from the first half."
