"Hey, Lu, I'm afraid you're going to be famous this time!" Moliqi rushed to Lu Yang and hugged him.
Moliqi is only 1.72 meters tall and weighs only 110 kilograms. His physical condition is very poor.
But his ball control and passing abilities are extremely strong, and he is the best midfielder in the Sanremo youth training team.
The two have an excellent relationship, often practice together, and learn a lot from each other's strengths.
Moric learned stealing thinking from Lu Yang. Although he looks thin, he is not a defensive vulnerability, which improves his competitiveness to a certain extent.
And Lu Yang practiced ball control with Moric, and among the team's central defenders, he is very reliable in ball control.
"You will definitely be able to join the first team in the second half of the season. You are so damn good!" Moric said with envy.
"Where is it?" Lu Yang was quite low-key.
"Don't be humble, buddy, you deserve this praise!" Moliqi sighed. Lu is just not confident enough and is too reserved. This is the biggest character flaw of Oriental people.
"I'm asking, why am I too strong? Please explain." Lu Yang showed a bright smile.
Moliqi was speechless for a moment.
Can this be expanded upon?
this……
…
"Italian youth training, shining in the Masters game, one goal, one assist, and a stoppage-time winner!" 》
"Manero certified, this young player is not simple!" 》
"The most unlikeable central defender in history, Serie D Lu Yang, produced by Sanremo!" 》
"Master and apprentice fight each other, Sotu was tragically beaten by his own player!" 》
"When the market opens, will Lu Yang be retaliated by Suo Tu?" After all, he let his coach get a yellow card on the court! 》
"Is he an Oriental defender or an Oriental striker? He became famous with one shot! 》
"Two months earlier, he would have won this year's Puskas Award!" 》
Facts have proved that Lu Yang is indeed famous.
Not only him, Sanremo should be famous.
Sotu, a saboteur who claimed not to understand the art of midfield, actually attempted to become the head coach of a team.
This once triggered a big discussion in Italian football, and the conclusion of this discussion was that not all football celebrities are qualified to be head coaches. For example, butcher-type midfielders like Sotu are obviously not suitable. .
Lu Yang, a thin center back who is only 1.78 meters tall and can't even make it to the Serie D first team, is famous for his position as a center forward.
To be honest, with such a weird thing, one person can settle the world, because it will be difficult for the team to be competitive, and naturally it will be stable.
But a small Sanremo actually has two talents: Wolong and Phoenix.
This undoubtedly aroused public curiosity.
So, will Sanremo be relegated this season?
After all, at the end of the first half of the season, they ranked fifteenth among the twenty teams in Serie D, firmly sitting in the relegation zone.
Conceded 46 goals in half a season, almost breaking Serie D's record for goals conceded in a half season.
Many teams don't concede that many goals all season.
As a result, countless reporters rushed to Sanremo in an attempt to get first-hand news.
Sanremo also seized the opportunity to introduce itself to the country and become famous.
On the contrary, Suo Tu and Lu Yang, who attracted everyone at the beginning, quietly disappeared from public view.
The former is organizing the team, thinking about how to break the situation and lead Sanremo to score steadily.
The latter drags Moric to the court to practice every day. He can't wait to get familiar with the player-level skills he has drawn.
Moric and Lu Yang practiced one-on-one, alternating offense and defense, and were fully tortured.
Soon, the second half of the season will begin.
Sotu takes over Sanremo.
The first thing he did when he entered the first team was to transfer a total of five youth training players, including Lu Yang and Moric, into the first team.
"In wealthy clubs, youth training players can still occupy the main position as long as they perform well enough. Why can't this be the case in Serie D? I don't think there are players here who have stronger personal abilities than the players in Serie A, and I don't think the main players and substitutes are even The gap with youth training is wider than Serie A!”
Sotu comes with the power of a famous player, and his toughness can completely calm the Sanremo dressing room.
In this way, Lu Yang, Moric and others successfully entered the first team.
In fact, Sanremo's lineup is not bad for Serie D. At least they actually have a star left winger, Vidian.
The 19-year-old Vidian is rumored to have been spotted by Serie C team Renate and will leave the team next season.
He is a player who is good at passing and shooting, and is also fast. Many people say that his future does not stop at Renate.
But Sanremo's defense is really bad, conceding 46 goals in half a season, which ranks them fifteenth in the league. According to this ranking, they will have to play in the relegation play-offs.
This is mainly related to the fact that the team's defense general Rondo was injured and missed the entire first half of the season.
On the training ground, the players are doing warm-up training, and there will be a training match later.
This will determine who starts the first game of the second half of the season.
"I have watched Vidian's game. He is very good. In Serie D, his speed and dribbling are enough to eat up opponents. The team can only be fifth from the bottom despite conceding 46 goals. With him, It has a lot to do with it." Sotu was communicating with Tom, the first assistant coach next to him, "but he has two fatal weaknesses."
"One is that he is too thin. As long as you give him some physical contact, he will lose the ball and lose the opportunity to attack."
"The second is that he lacks the support of his teammates. Whether it is the midfielder who can give him good opportunities, the forward who can accept his ammunition, or the teammates who can help him contain the enemy, he has none of them."
"He was like a lone soldier, so desperate that he almost lost his self-confidence."
Tom, who has worked at Sanremo for more than ten years, agrees with what Sotu said: "Our midfield has always lacked an offensive core and can only play defensive counterattacks. Last season, with Rondo here, the defense was relatively solid and we did not lose anything. If the defender takes the ball, Vidian's speed can kill the game."
"Last season we were also ranked in the promotion zone. If Ron was not injured at the last moment when we were promoted to C, we should have been an Serie C team. It is precisely because of this that Vidian is willing to stay for one season and help Let’s try again for C.”
"But I didn't expect that Rondo would be injured again in the second game of this season. The team, fans and Vidian were all desperate."
"Vidian was lost in the first half of the season. He was no longer sharp, and even his good passing and shooting were greatly reduced due to confidence. The reason why he is still in the team now is because Renate started They doubt Vidian’s talent, and they plan to wait and see.”
Suotu snorted disdainfully: "Hmph, by the time they finish watching, Wei Dian will no longer be affordable for them! There is nothing in this world that is without risk... By the way, are you sure that boy wants to Play as a defender instead of a forward?"
That kid, defender and forward, obviously refers to Lu Yang.
Tom spread his hands and said: "He said that now is not the time to play as a forward. He currently has more experience in playing as a defender. He is confident that he can make Sanremo's defense strong again."
Sotu covered his forehead.
really interesting.
How can a 1.78-meter central defender still be impregnable?
Who gave him the confidence?
We originally expected Wei Dian to break through at speed and then pass the ball to Lu Yang, who would then use his dazzling woodcut shot to score.
Now it seems that this striker combination is just a dream.
Lu Yang would never be able to play in that game again, right? It was just a flash of inspiration from an ordinary person.
Lu Yang is just an ordinary or even inferior central defender.
Suotu kept muttering in his heart, as if he was planning to convince himself, but the light in his eyes that never dissipated did not seem to agree with this point of view.
If Lu Yang was really ordinary, why was he able to break through his defense twice?
And why can he always receive Manero's weird and difficult passes?
And why can he and Manuelo never forget him?
Beep!
The whistle blew and the Sanremo first team training match officially began.
The side wearing yellow vests is the main lineup, and the side wearing red vests is the substitute lineup.
Lu Yang and Moliqi both wore red vests.
And Vidian is undoubtedly wearing a yellow vest.
From the beginning, Vidian showed his strong speed. Before the substitutes have fully adapted, they directly dribble the ball through the center.
A yellow whirlwind swept across the court and broke through the midfield area of the substitute lineup in an instant.
No... not completely throwing away everyone, there is a small man on the substitute side who is not far away from Vidian.
It's Molic!
Unlike other small organizational midfielders, Moric doesn't seem to like to be too forward. He stands deeper from the beginning. Now it just gave him a chance to stop Vidian.
Moric moved quickly, but did not rush directly towards Vidian, but pressed from the side.
But even so, Vidian moved the ball, accelerated, and quickly passed Moric.
But the next moment...
boom!
Lu Yang appeared on Wei Dian's offensive line and cut off the football first.
"Well done!" Suotu suddenly clenched his fists in the audience and looked extremely excited.
He is a midfielder, so he is particularly excited when he sees the ball stolen.
The cooperation between the midfielder and Lu Yang just now was perfect!
That’s right!
Just cooperate!
Moliqi and Lu Yang!
As a god-level troublemaker, Suotu knows that defense also needs cooperation.
First of all, Moric's position fully illustrates his defensive awareness. A midfielder of his type shouldn't appear in the team's defensive midfield position, but he just appears.
Then facing the rapidly advancing Vidian, Moric did not rush forward, but used his body to block Vidian's offensive route, forcing Vidian to change his direction.
Although it seemed that Wei Dian was still passed by him in one step, Wei Dian was actually forced towards the defensive area where Lu Yang was.
Similarly, Lu Yang's performance in defense this time was also remarkable.
He and Morich have an unparalleled tacit understanding, as if he knew that Morich would definitely push Vidian in this direction.
At the same time, the timing of the final move is very important.
If Lu Yang attacks in advance, Wei Dian, who has not yet released the ball, can completely adjust the direction of the football and pass Lu Yang. It doesn't matter if he dribbles more horizontally, he can still pass Lu Yang.
If Lu Yang is slower, then Wei Dian will also be able to touch the football before he touches it because he has such speed.
But it happened to be neither fast nor slow. The rhythm that Lu Yang captured was something Wei Dian couldn't adjust at that moment.
This time, Lu Yang's defensive awareness, attacking awareness, and his explosive power, which is relatively good among central defenders, were all displayed.
Just one defensive cooperation made Sotu look at Lu Yang and Moric with admiration.
He is an expert in midfield defense. He doesn't understand offensive matters, but he has something to say about defense.
"Who is that person?" Sotu asked, pointing at Molic.
"Moric is also a young player from our youth training. He came here at the age of 15 and is now 17 years old. His ball control and passing are very good, but his thin body has hindered him from playing." Tom said , "In order to change his shortcomings, he took the initiative to invite Lu Yang to train together. The two have a very good relationship."
"Isn't this just an engine?" Suotu looked at Moliqi doubtfully.
"Originally, if Rondo had not been injured, the former head coach was prepared to let Moric move up to the first team to participate in the game this season. But..." Tom said with a bitter look on his face.
Suotu nodded to express his understanding.
In the view of his predecessor, Moric's appearance would have reduced the team's defensive strength in the midfield, because Moric might become a defensive black hole.
After Rondo was reimbursed for the season, the team's defensive quality dropped significantly. How could he dare to let Moric play at this time?
The presence or absence of a central defender affects whether a midfielder can play or not. This is the so-called chemical reaction.
But unfortunately, in Sotu's opinion, the predecessor's chemistry was not up to scratch.
Because if he has watched Moric and Lu Yang play together, he will know that Moric will never burden the team's defense. On the contrary... he can even strengthen the team's defensive strength.
Because he himself has many "not too tough" defensive abilities.
What does it mean to not be too hard?
It’s just that the physical fitness is really not good.
But sometimes defense doesn’t have to compete with the other team.
Block the opponent's route when the opponent is advancing, take advantage of the easily overlooked advantage of your small size to grab from behind, cooperate with midfield defenders or defenders to flank the opponent, block the opponent's passing route, etc.
These are less direct defenses that provide coordination for the main defensive players. They are also defenses and are very important.
Moric has such good habits, especially when playing with Lu Yang, it is very obvious. When they are on the pitch at the same time, he can even defend as well as a serious defensive midfielder.
Frankly speaking, Sotu was jealous.
Because he saw the shadow of Manero in Moliqi.
A short and thin man who doesn't know how to defend... a master of midfield!
Black hole in midfield?
This is just an illusion created by Manero, who deceives the opposing players, referees and fans to gain sympathy!
He is a big liar!
As long as Moric has a good midfield sorting ability, Sotu doesn't mind giving him a chance to perform in the game.
boom!
A clearance ball awakened Sotu.
He looked at Lu Yang, who had made a successful rescue, and said, "Why is he always making rescues?"
Tom was also a little stunned: "I don't know, maybe it's because... he can always disrupt the main team's offense. This is the first time I've seen the main team not score a goal after playing for thirty minutes. Lu Yang maybe... Can he really play as a centre-back?"
Small teams do not have a very thick lineup, and there is often a large gap between the main players and substitutes.
Of course, this does not conflict with what Sotu said in the locker room before.
If the main force of a wealthy team has 90 points, the substitutes will have more than 80 points.
If Serie D's main force has fifty points, then the substitutes are estimated to have anywhere from ten to forty points.
Theoretically speaking, the substitutes of wealthy teams can also perform at the level of the main players, but it is difficult for the substitutes of Serie D teams to perform at the level of the main players.
But for a talented player, going from ten to fifty is easy, so he can easily counterattack the main force of the Serie D team. But it is almost impossible to go from ten to ninety, so there are few youth training players from wealthy clubs who can counterattack and rise to the top.
Therefore, when Sanremo's main team and substitute team ended the first half with a score of zero to zero, it actually fully demonstrated that the team's strength structure was broken.
On the substitute side, someone has strengthened the team!
Considering the gap between the substitute side and the main team in the past, this person almost equalized two to three goals.
And this person is...
