Sophia is gone.
When she left, she handed the key to the villa to Lu Yang, and she really asked the construction team to quickly complete the construction of an artificial turf stadium.
With Sofia's financial resources, even a small natural turf pitch is affordable, but time is too late.
Sofia could feel that if there wasn't that stadium, Lu Yang might really refuse the invitation to come here to help her look at the house.
But when Lu Yang and Moliqi finished training and were about to return to the villa, Moliqi learned that Lu Yang had settled in the Sofia mansion and his character completely changed.
He felt that his friendship with Lu Yang was coming to an end.
At this point, he vowed that he would never make friends with anyone 1.81 meters tall again.
The speed of their rebellion simply exceeded their expectations.
Rondo comforted Morich and said, "Don't be like this. When you talk about your girlfriend, you will also change like this."
Moliqi asked doubtfully: "So after falling in love, friendship will be greatly reduced?"
Rondo said: "At least that's how it started."
Moliqi asked: "What is it like when you are in love? Is this the same state where Lu gives up on friendship?"
Rondo said: "It can't be said that there are too many similarities. I can only say that they are... exactly the same... No, I was even more extreme than him at the beginning. I was just like a licking dog! To be honest, Lu Yang's current condition is a hundred times better than mine before, you have to understand him, after all, Sophia is his first love, and they are very passionate, you know what I mean."
Moliqi seemed to understand, but women seemed to be more complicated than football.
On the other side, Lu Yang never thought that he could also get rewards in competitions that he did not participate in.
"Ding! The team defeated the opponent without you, and you received a random gift pack*1."
"Ding! You opened the gift bag and got a star-level skill, Golden Wolf Guti's through ball!"
It's the wolf again!
Another star skill!
Lu Yang smiled happily.
Totti's spoon lob from the King of the Red Wolves.
Golden Wolf Guti's through ball.
Will the next pack opening be a lone wolf Romario's shot or something?
Guti is a Real Madrid midfielder who is known as a sharpshooter.
His through balls are very sharp and can often kill him with one blow. But the opposite of high-yield behaviors such as through balls is the high risk of failed through balls and being counterattacked.
Guti has been controversial in his career because of this, but he has never changed his style and insisted on this sharp playing style.
This makes his midfield unstable, but makes the fans addicted to it, mobilizing the fans' adrenaline again and again.
This star skill has greatly increased Lu Yang's passing ability.
Long pass increased to 60.
The short pass awakened and went directly to 55 points.
The strength under the feet has changed from 50 to 55.
Moreover, through balls generally refer to ground passes, which further improves Lu Yang's passing ability. The previous low passes and weighted spin passes were high-altitude long passes.
…
After all the results of the thirty-fifth round of the Serie D league came out, the points ranking changed again.
Turris defeated his opponent and still maintained the lead. The current points reached 73 points.
Bisceglie did not continue to lose the chain and also won, ranking second with 71 points.
Francavilla, on the other hand, fell into the dilemma of being unable to strike due to the injury of its main center. They tied with their opponents 0-0 and ranked third in the standings with 69 points.
Moreover, they share the same points with fourth-placed Sanremo!
It's just that the Serie D league rankings prioritize the outcome, and Franlavella's record against Sanremo is one win and one draw, so they are ranked third.
Sanremo only had two draws in the second half of the season and won all the rest, and one of the draws was given by Francavilla.
But even so, whenever there is a tie, Sanremo is basically at a disadvantage.
Because they lost all the games they faced against the top six teams in the first half of the season.
Even if they win most of the games in the second half of the season, they are often behind by a big score in the first half of the season. If they cannot win by a big score in the second half of the season, they will generally be at a disadvantage in terms of goal difference between the two sides.
This is a hidden danger in Sanremo.
Palermo, ranked fifth, and Catania, ranked sixth, also won, with 67 points and 66 points respectively behind Sanremo and Francavilla.
The competition for the top six is becoming increasingly fierce.
The day before the thirty-sixth round of the game, during Sanremo's regular training, the team's starting right center back suffered a thigh strain. After examination, it was confirmed that he will miss all games after this season.
The team made temporary adjustments and substitute center back Najib entered the starting lineup.
Considering Najib's colander attributes, many people are pessimistic about this adjustment.
Fortunately, Sanremo's opponent in the next round is Viterbo, a weak team that has already confirmed its relegation spot.
One day later, the thirty-sixth round of the league kicked off.
In the seventh minute of the game, Lu Yang stunned the audience with a unique through ball.
At that time, there were at least four people between him and the team's center, but Lu Yang's through ball accurately flew out of the four people and appeared at the feet of the Sanremo team's center.
This was a rare accurate ground pass from Lu Yang, catching the opponent off guard.
Because the only person in Sanremo who could pass such a ball before was Moliqi!
With the ball in hand, the Sanremo center did not miss this good opportunity and opened the scoring for the team.
Sanremo leads Viterbo 1-0.
Although relegation is certain, it doesn't mean that Viterbo's players don't want to win.
You must know that Sanremo is now a famous team in Serie D, and even most Serie C teams are far less concerned than them.
There are also rumors in the media that scouts from big teams often watch Sanremo games during this time.
Playing against Sanremo is almost the most exposure channel for lower league players.
Viterbo's players also want to shine and see if they can be noticed by other teams. Not to mention going directly to Serie A and Serie B, it would be good to at least stay in Serie D.
So everyone played very enthusiastically today.
The blockade against Lu Yang was also particularly in place.
Who makes Lu Yang the most famous person in Sanremo today?
Stadium commentator: "Oh, we can see that Lu Yang seems to be in trouble today. Although the team's offense is relatively smooth, as long as he catches the ball, he will inevitably face being double-teamed."
"Lu Yang and Moric are two different types of players. Moric can double-team like this with ease, but Lu Yang seems to be in a hurry. Fortunately, he has good ball control and vision, and he can always catch the ball before he loses it. Pass the football to Moric or the backline."
"But this also undermined the team's offense invisibly. This is why Sanremo's midfield was well organized today, but it was difficult to obtain very direct offensive opportunities."
"So far, the score is still 1 to 0. Vedian's footing was not smooth in this game and he got two good opportunities but failed to score. The connection between the team's right midfielder and right forward was not particularly smooth. The two seem to be in poor condition, which may be related to their hard work in the last game."
"With Lu Yang absent in the last game, the defensive pressure on the Sanremo team increased greatly, and their team has many older players. The center forward, right forward, right midfielder, previous starting right center back, etc. are all over 30 years old. Two years old.”
"It was previously reported that Sanremo's starting right center back is injured, and youngster Najib is the starter. This is the reason. The physical strength and durability of most Sanremo players have reached their limits recently. If not handled properly, the next They may still get injured in the next game.”
So far, Sanremo has had a terrifying nine-game winning streak.
Even the nine-game winning streak was preceded by two consecutive draws, and before that was another five-game winning streak!
They remained undefeated in the second half of the season.
But it also means the players are exhausted.
Especially after they started to attack the promotion zone, the challenges they faced became stronger and stronger, the players became more and more excited, and everyone performed better in every game.
But the body may not be able to bear it.
It is impossible for a team like Sanremo to have a perfect rotation.
They have many positions and don't even have reliable substitutes.
Often a substitute player wears multiple hats and can serve as a substitute for multiple positions.
Now, physical strength has become an important factor limiting Sanremo's progress.
On the court, although they had taken a 1-0 lead, Sanremo did not have an advantage on the field.
"We have to score more goals to reduce the mental and defensive pressure on the team." Moric found Lu Yang.
He is very sharp and the team's right forward and right midfielder were in very bad shape today.
Different from Wei Dian's unfavorable foot style, those two people were a little... holding back and kicking today.
This means they are less afraid to exert force.
The reason that often makes a person reluctant to exert force is because a certain position will be uncomfortable when exerting force. The pain is not severe, but it will make people subconsciously withdraw their strength.
This is often a sign of initial injury to certain parts of the body.
This cannot continue.
Sotu's defensive tactics are indeed solid, but they require a lot of movement.
The team obviously does not have the ability to run a lot now, so Moric decided to change the team's playing style privately.
But the reduction in running means that the defense has more holes, which is likely to allow the team to concede goals.
Therefore, the team's offensive personnel must first take advantage.
There is a link here, and no step can be messed up, otherwise good intentions will end up doing bad things.
"I'll give it a try," Lu Yang said, "Today they put a lot of defensive pressure on me. You can look for more opportunities to go to the front."
Morich also nodded.
Soon, the opportunity presented itself.
In the 35th minute of the game, Lu Yang got the ball.
One person from the opponent's midfield blocked Lu Yang from close range, and another person came from the side to double-team him.
The player who blocked Lu Yang had obviously studied Lu Yang and knew that Lu Yang did not have the ability to break through with the ball.
As long as you don't rush for it, you won't be shaken by Lu Yang's favorite V-shaped pull ball.
This is the best way to defend Lu Yang. We have successfully defended like this several times today.
But this time, Lu Yang did not sit still and wait for death.
He pulled the football back with his right foot, and the football rolled to the toes of his left foot. Then he lifted the toes of his left foot and the football flew up.
The opponent's defensive player's eyes lit up. This kind of mid-air ball was very difficult to control. He could definitely grab the ball and be sure of it!
Did Lu Yang make a mistake?
But just when the opponent's player was about to step forward, the football that was supposed to fly high hit the knee of Lu Yang's left leg as he stepped forward, quickly landed on the ground and bounced forward.
It sounds like a long time, but it only took that moment to make this move.
After Lu Yang pulled the ball with his right foot, as soon as it landed, the football flew up and was knocked out by his left knee.
That's almost a second.
And why did Lu Yang's left knee move forward and hit the football?
Naturally, it was because Lu Yang was stepping forward with his left foot in preparation for sprinting.
In an instant, Lu Yang pushed his right foot on the ground and stepped out with his left foot. The man and the ball rushed past the defensive player at the same time, like a yellow lightning.
The commentator was stunned: "This is...knee kicking! It's a cool street ball kicking action, but it can also be used for breakthroughs, which is very sudden. But in official games, few people use this Kind of fancy moves.”
"This action does not seem difficult to defend, but it is actually a difficult test for defenders. It can cause the football to shift three times in an instant. The first time is from the front to the back. The second time is to let the football move in three directions in an instant. The football flew from the ground into the air, and the third time the football suddenly ejected from mid-air towards the ground in front.”
"Three shifts of focus in a short period of time, very few defensive players can keep up with it. Even if the brain reacts, the body's center of gravity cannot react. In other words, the brain knows that this is deception, but the muscle memory does it unconsciously. Being mobilized. We could see Viterbo's defensive player frozen in place, unable to move, and could only watch the football and Lu Yang pass by him."
“That’s the power of kicking the ball with your knees!”
After Lu Yang broke through the opponent's defense, he drove straight in, which was equivalent to breaking through two players in one go, because there was another player who wanted to flank him.
As a last resort, the other Viterbo players rushed to Lu Yang.
Moric had a wide space and moved forward to the top of the penalty area.
He had just arrived, and Lu Yang's straight pass had also arrived.
Another fine pass, past a defender.
Moric took the ball and shot from a long distance.
Sanremo scored 2-0, consolidating its advantage!
Taking advantage of the goal celebration time, Moric found the team's right-sided players and asked them to hold back and conserve their energy and protect their bodies first.
The expressions of the team's right forward and right midfielder changed slightly and nodded.
Sanremo's style of play also changed after that, with more balls coming from the left, giving Vidian more opportunities to adjust the feel of his feet.
"Why does the team's style of play seem to have changed?" Tom saw the changes in the team, and he was worried that Sotu would be angry because of this. No head coach likes his tactics to be tampered with by players at will.
However, Sotu smiled and said: "This is the function of the brain. As players on the field, they are often able to detect some details better than us, just like we can see the spatial position on the field better than they can."
"Moric is adjusting the team's style of play based on the status of the team's players. This is what a core midfielder should really do. Our right player may have some problems, in the second half..."
Glancing at the bench, Sotu pursed his lips.
He actually didn't have much room to adjust in the second half.
The team's biggest achievement in the winter window was signing him, and because both Sotu and the team chairman felt that the season was over and the biggest task was to avoid relegation, Sotu did not ask for transfer funds or players.
The team's player inventory is therefore severely insufficient.
If he had known that there was hope for promotion this season, the team chairman would have bought a few substitutes for Sotu in the winter window.
Okay now, there is no rice to put in the pot!
