Halftime, visiting team's locker room.
All the players were silent and the atmosphere in the locker room was extremely dull.
Sotu has not come in yet. He is chatting with Vidian alone. After the last game, Vidian continued to perform abnormally in this game.
But the reasons vary.
His playing style was not going well in the last game. This was a natural reason and no one would blame him.
But this time...he was a little too alone.
But he is not a player who can blast the opponent, because his body cannot bear it, and he will drop the ball as soon as the opponent hits him.
Obviously, Vidian fell into a data obsession.
He currently has 24 goals and 10 assists, and 25+10 and 24+10 have completely different effects.
He wants to score goals too much.
However, due to the team's successive losses of key players on the right wing and other reasons, both Moric and Lu Yang were more defensive in this game. They need to stabilize the first half, let several players on the right get used to the feeling of starting the game, and then look for opportunities in the second half.
This kind of tactical mentality of playing hard to get and winning steadily is something that Wei Dian, a black child with low education, doesn't quite understand.
He felt that the first half should be a frantic attack.
As a result, he lost too much of the ball, which put huge defensive pressure on the team, so that the opponent finally made a beautiful combination and penetrated the back line of defense.
Vidian had a problem, and Sotu went to solve it.
But that doesn't mean others don't have problems.
"Guys, I'm sorry, I want to say a few words." Lu Yang stood up in the locker room, "I'm not blaming anyone, I just want to share some news I know with you, so as to reduce everyone's mental burden. "
"I know that the team is looking for top players and even stars, which makes some people panic, but there is no need to do so. Do you know that the Russell Group and the city government have been negotiating for the new sports stadium in Sanremo? The problem has been resolved and construction is expected to start in the second half of this year.”
The players were a little confused as to what Lu Yang said had to do with the game.
Lu Yang said: "Guys, this is a real big move! Russell's investment in this project is huge, but the benefits are also huge. The reason why the city government agreed to give them such precious land is because Russell promised To take Sanremo Football Club to a higher level of competition!"
"The upgrade of a team is not just as simple as A, B, C and D, but also requires a lot of hardware, training grounds, youth training institutions, management departments, etc. How much is our annual salary for playing in Serie D? Eight thousand or ten thousand euros?"
"But after becoming a manager of a rapidly developing club, my salary is at least 50,000 euros a year, and it's still office-based!"
"With the rapid expansion of Sanremo, there will be many people under these managers, and they may even become the club's executives in the future. Think about it, as the club's meritorious players, Moric and I will not talk about it, we You are still young, but Jack, Tony, Benjamin, if you retire in the next few years, the team will keep you and give you a position to continue to shine."
"When the time comes, you will become the first veterans of the team! No matter whether it is Latoidi or Ancarelli, Perrotta or Carlisle, it will not conflict with you, do you understand?"
"They are certainly top stars, but you are the legends of Sanremo!"
Lu Yang's words inspired everyone's thinking.
Yes, if Sanremo really grows into a large club quickly, then as the first generation founders of the Sanremo legend, they are the club's meritorious deeds!
Will it be difficult to become the head coach of the youth training team, the club's first scout, the club's business manager, the head of the fans association, the head of the club's news, etc.?
It's not difficult at all.
Because that's when the club is often most short of people.
After leaving the court, they can still have stable jobs and even better job opportunities.
This prospect is really wonderful.
After all, most of them are around thirty years old, which is the end of their careers for football players in this era.
Rather than becoming famous with one goal on the court, they are more optimistic about development in other fields, because thirty years old is still a very young age in many fields.
"Of course, this all depends on the premise that we are the creators of the Sanremo legend! If the team does not enter Serie C next season, those stars will not come, and we are likely to continue to sink in Serie D. The legend is simply nonsense. Talk."
"God has put the key to our destiny into our hands, and the decision whether to turn it or not lies in this game. Win the game, the legend continues, and we are all better off."
"When we lose the game, we don't need anyone else to replace us. We continue to sink."
"Do you choose victory or defeat?"
In the locker room, many people were lost in thought.
"Tell me loudly, do you choose victory or failure!" Lu Yang asked loudly!
"Victory!" everyone shouted together.
"Louder!" Lu Yang continued.
"victory!"
"Didn't you eat, brothers?" The veins on Lu Yang's temples protruded.
"Victory, victory, victory!"
In the Sanremo visiting team's locker room, there was an extremely violent roar.
Sotu and Wei Dian, who were standing at the door, looked at each other. It seemed that there was no need for Sotu to mobilize inside.
…
In the second half of the game, Sanremo took on a new look.
Their players all showed a strong fighting spirit.
Because for them, this game and the next game can almost determine the happiness of many of them in the rest of their lives.
This is truly twenty years less struggle!
They must win!
Sanremo's strong pressing made Ternana players very unaccustomed.
They couldn't control the ball at all.
As Vidian stopped messing around, Moric began an orderly offensive organization.
Threatening passes were passed time and time again.
Vidian took the ball from the wing, and the Sanremo center hit the goal with a header, almost rewriting the score.
There is no doubt that Sanremo is on the rise.
The 77th minute of the game.
Sanremo received another corner kick.
Moric took a penalty to the forward point.
Nagy fought for position, but was pushed further forward by the opponent and did not have the angle to directly head the ball into the goal.
He subconsciously bent over and rubbed the football back, ferrying it to the back point.
And there, Lu Yang and the opponent's center back had just fallen from mid-air.
The football was about to slide past.
However, after landing, Lu Yang quickly bounced twice and shook his head like a lion.
Bang!
The football hit the net and the opponent's goalkeeper had no reaction.
"GOAL! Sanremo equalized the score, Lu Yang scored with a header, beautiful header!"
"Nagy, who grabbed the first spot of the ball, performed very well. He almost reached the best level of a normal center back in terms of participating in the offense."
"Of course, we can't compare with Lu Yang's central defender. After all, Lu Yang's central defender may be the most powerful offensive central defender in the world."
"Oh, we can see that Lu Yang did not celebrate. He rushed into the net and picked up the football immediately."
"This is Lu Yang, a calm butcher on the court. He always knows what to do at what time."
"Twelve minutes left in the game, Sanremo still has a chance."
Soon, Ternana kicked off.
But as soon as the ball kicked off, they were surrounded by Lu Yang's iron wall.
After the start of the second half, Lu Yang and Moric changed positions.
Moric appeared in the left midfielder, while Lu Yang was in the right midfielder position.
This put Ternana's strategy of staring at Sanremo on the right into a stalemate.
Lu Yang has a wide running range and is very good at stealing and intercepting.
If passing the ball around other defensive players only requires keeping a distance of fifty centimeters between the football and those players, then when facing Lu Yang's pass, you must ensure that the distance between Lu Yang and the football is close to two meters.
Even more, it was necessary to avoid Lu Yang's sudden speed after prediction.
This greatly blocked Ternana's passing lane and their offense entered a dead end.
The 85th minute of the game.
Another wonderful steal from Lu Yang.
He quickly handed the ball to Moric and started to move forward.
It was a move he had little to do in the second half.
He gave up all of himself to defense, leaving all breakthroughs to Moric and Vidian.
So this time the forward thrust was unexpected.
Moliqi and Lu Yang hit the wall and passed, and then quickly passed and shot. This is his specialty.
Vidian got the ball from the wing and passed directly.
The Sanremo center took away a central defender, and Lu Yang and another central defender got the ball in the confrontation.
But there was resistance behind him, and the opponent's midfielder immediately came back to defend, so he couldn't turn around and shoot.
Fortunately, Moliqi also rushed forward boldly.
Moric received the ball and then distributed it to Vidian who came over.
At this time, the area near the opponent's penalty area was already overcrowded.
Except for the two central defenders and a right midfielder, almost all Sanremo players were pressed into this half. The two full-backs on the left and right came to the vicinity of the penalty area.
And almost everyone in Ternana was there.
Sanremo wanted to grab points, but Ternana didn't want to lose a point at the last moment. Both sides worked hard.
Lu Yang ran out and Wei Dian passed the ball to Lu Yang. Lu Yang turned his back to the goal and relied on the opponent's defensive player.
Two people followed Lu Yang, one controlled Moric, and the other controlled the center. Sanremo still had no chance.
"rush!"
But just as the football rolled over, Lu Yang suddenly spoke.
Moric had a clear idea and rushed towards the goal.
Many people don't understand Moric's behavior.
Moric was originally in the penalty area, and the sprinting space was already very small. He might have reached the goalkeeper before he even started.
What's more... there were three people and two walls between him and Lu Yang, so it was impossible to get the ball.
But the next moment.
Lu Yang did not stop the ball, but directly knocked it with his heel.
Redondo's heel!
The football rolled from the crotch of the defensive player beside Lu Yang into the penalty area.
The other party didn't even realize this yet and was still eyeing Lu Yang covetously.
The ball speed was not slow, and it passed several defensive players one after another and appeared in front of the goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper strikes quickly.
However, one foot got ahead of him and poked the football into the goal.
Sanremo players embraced each other passionately!
Killer!
Lu Yang sent a fatal assist, and Moric completed the decisive shot!
Sanremo leads two to one!
"Oh! My God! This is simply crazy football!"
"Under such huge pressure, Lu Yang actually used a heel to pass the ball."
"This goal is so secretive. Even after the goal, Ternana's defensive players were still marking Lu Yang. They had no idea when Lu Yang passed the ball!"
"Moric started too timely. If he had been a little slower, the ball would have been confiscated by the goalkeeper first."
"This is the tacit understanding between the two stars of Sanremo's midfield! This is the duo of Italian midfielders that Manero himself admitted!"
"Little Manero and Butcher II completed a dream connection and successfully helped Sanremo take the lead!"
"The suspense of Sanremo's title race is back! They are one step closer to promotion!"
Sanremo didn't let the score change again and they defended the final five minutes to earn a hard-fought victory.
…
"What made us transform in the second half? Yes, of course there is the reason for the head coach Mr. Sotu, but... I think more of it comes from Lu Yang's encouragement to us." Sanremo captain Rondo said He replied in the post-match interview, "He has a very leadership temperament. He told us why we must win, which inspired our morale."
Vidian said in an interview: "I made a lot of mistakes in this game, but the head coach corrected me in time. I am very happy that the team was able to win."
Moric was asked about Rondo's words: "Of course, Lu Yang has always been like this. Whether on the court or in the locker room, he can help his friends. If you didn't tell me, I would have even forgotten about him. He is one year younger than me, because he always makes you mistakenly think that he is the elder brother you can trust and rely on!"
After the game, the Sanremo players all praised Lu Yang, which made people wonder what Lu Yang said during the halftime break.
But reporters failed to interview Lu Yang.
Because Lu Yang's running range was too large in this game, he started rest mode directly after the game. He needed to seize every minute to recover his strength for the last game of Sanremo this season.
That will be a real battle for the top spot!
Soon, the thirty-seventh round of the league was completed.
The results can be said to be unexpected.
Francavilla, sixth in the standings, faced a relegated team and was evened by the opponent, taking only one point.
With 70 points, it almost announced that they had nothing to do with direct promotion.
Even the chance to play in the play-offs has become distant.
Fifth in the standings is Catania, who defeated their opponents and scored 72 points.
What makes Sanremo fans applaud is that Bisceglie lost the key battle with Palermo. Arnold continued his goal drought and affected the team's overall offense.
Bisceglie will lose the opportunity to threaten Sanremo. From second place, one place ahead of Sanremo, relying on the relationship of victory and defeat, it has directly fallen to fourth place in the standings, and is tied with fifth-placed Catania, both with 72 points. , relying on the two sides' record advantage of one win and one draw to barely take the lead.
In the next round, Catania's opponent was a weak team, and they made it to the bottom.
Because in the next round Bisceglie will have a direct conversation with Francavilla, who is ranked sixth.
No matter what the outcome is, Catania will remain firmly in fourth or fifth place.
At this point, the teams most likely to miss out on promotion this season have been revealed.
One of Francavilla and Bisceglie is very likely to be the unlucky guy everyone mentioned before.
Of course, Palermo, ranked third with 73 points, is not completely safe, because the point difference between them and Francavilla is only three points. If everyone wins and they lose, then Francavilla can still compete with Palermo, and Palermo has a disadvantage against Francavilla this season.
After much calculation, only Turris, who scored 77 points, was finally determined to be upgraded.
Sanremo, which ranks second in the league with 75 points, simply cannot afford to lose.
Palermo, who is third, has 76 points in winning.
Bisceglie and Catania, who are fourth and fifth, have 75 wins, but according to the relationship between wins and losses, they can be ranked ahead of Sanremo.
As long as Sanremo loses, there is a high probability that they will go to the promotion play-offs.
There was only one path before them.
That is to defeat Turris and win the league championship!
