The game against Renate gave Lu Yang the player skill "one-touch passing".
This is a very basic skill, but it is also a magical skill, especially for midfielders.
The meaning of basic never means that it is very simple, but that it is used frequently and is a prerequisite skill for various advanced skills.
There are many people who know basic skills, but there are very few people who can practice basic skills to perfection.
To put it bluntly, football is nothing more than passing, stopping and shooting, and one-touch passing is one of the most basic abilities required by professional football.
As its name suggests, it can greatly improve a player's ability to release the ball with one kick.
It doesn't just refer to the threat of the last pass, even if it is just a normal pass, a kick is also very important.
Lu Yang's long pass has therefore reached 70, and short pass has reached 65, approaching the Serie B level.
After this game, Sanremo's opponents in the second round of the Italian Cup were also announced.
They were very unlucky.
Because their opponent is the Serie B team Brescia.
That’s right, Serie B!
This was something Sotu had not expected.
Although in his idea, Sanremo would not meet Serie B teams, but that would only be in the fourth or fifth rounds.
As a result, this time... unexpectedly encountered a Serie B team so early, after the core midfielder was injured and retired.
For a moment, it seemed as if all kinds of bad things were approaching Sanremo, commonly known as a ghost.
In response to this, the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, which had a bad relationship with Lu Yang, started to make a fuss.
They began to publicly criticize Lu Yang and badmouth Sanremo.
"joke! The pass success rate is 75%, and the key pass success rate is less than 50%. This is not even a qualified midfielder, but he is the new core of Sanremo's midfield! 》
"Only two threatening passes in the game!" With such a core midfielder, whoever gets involved will be unlucky! 》
"Shortcomings exposed, he is just an engineer player, admit it, Sanremo!" 》
"Zero goal!" Lu Yang, who came to the middle, lost his ability to score goals. He couldn't even play football anymore! 》
The newspaper even opened a special column to track and report the game between Lu Yang and Sanremo.
They analyzed Lu Yang's performance in the past three games in detail, especially comparing Lu Yang with some outstanding midfielders.
Not to mention Lu Yang, if you compare anyone with top midfielders such as Habaib, Kroos, Alonso, David Silva, and De Bruyne, it will be difficult to compare.
Moreover, the Republic also selectively forgot the goals and assists Lu Yang obtained in these games, as well as the winning streak he brought to the team.
Don’t ask why anyone is paying attention to the Serie C football match, because Sofia had angrily criticized La Repubblica before, making La Repubblica embarrassed in front of her colleagues across Europe.
Now, for the sake of exaggeration, it would not be too much to dedicate a section of the newspaper to revenge.
Even La Repubblica found that the news attention in this section was not low.
You can also make money by venting your anger!
Is this a good thing?
Can you believe it?
This once again proves that for ordinary people, football is indeed not as attractive as entertainment.
Because Lu Yang's influence in the entertainment industry is far greater than his influence in football.
Many people who are not fans will also read the report about Lu Yang in the Republic.
In this regard, Lu Yang was interviewed before the eleventh round.
Lu Yang: "To be honest, after reading La Repubblica, I even thought we lost the last round. Fortunately, the Italian Football Federation was firm enough and did not judge us as a loser or deduct our points based on La Repubblica's evaluation. Because what La Repubblica says is true.”
"Also, regarding the fact that I didn't score in the last round...why do people still ask me this question? I even had to check the current scorer list in Serie C. Fortunately, I am still the top scorer. , otherwise I will definitely doubt whether I know how to score goals."
"Six games, nine goals and four assists, averaging more than two goals per game. Such performance cannot conquer La Repubblica. It seems that their vision is really high. I hope they can find a data to crush me in Serie C. Players, otherwise I’m afraid they won’t be able to compile it.”
"But fortunately, I don't need to conquer La Repubblica, I just need to conquer the team's opponents."
Subsequently, the eleventh round of Serie C started.
Sanremo vs Arezzo.
Lu Yang scored a wonderful goal in the game and responded to someone who asked him before the game if he could not score.
This goal, to a certain extent, is a typical Lu Yang-style goal.
At that time, Lu Yang was holding the ball, but there was no outlet for the ball. Facing the opponent's double-team, he swung past two people with an ox's tail and drove the ball directly from the center.
Then he pedaled his bicycle wildly, forcing the opponent's defensive players to retreat all the way.
When Lu Yang came to the penalty area, he was surrounded by the opponent's defensive players.
There were three people on the other side attacking.
However, Lu Yang carried the three of them and made a Marseille, no, it was half a Marseille pirouette.
He didn't seem to be proficient in mastering this movement, and it was difficult for him to truly complete a 360-degree rotation.
But this does not affect his use of this action to surpass others.
After circling the football twice in a row, Lu Yang surprisingly escaped from the three-man double-team.
No one knows what the name of Lu Yang's escape technique should be.
But Lu Yang knew.
Because this is the famous Bengbu Roundabout!
It may seem like a mess, but actually everything is under control.
Using physical confrontation and moving around in the enemy's double-team, this ball-protecting player is just like Henry.
boom!
Lu Yang came out of trouble and fired a shot directly, scoring a wonderful one-stop goal.
The entire scoring process is very characteristic of Lu Yang.
But it is not a conventional, midfielder-type goal.
This is also a controversial point.
Lu Yang was the best Lu Yang, but he failed to be an excellent core midfielder.
Therefore, Sanremo was quickly equalized by Arezzo.
In the subsequent games, both sides struggled very hard.
It was not until the 85th minute that Lu Yang once again gave up his core playing style and took the risk to rush forward with the ball. When there were too many defensive players in the middle, he chose to pull to the right.
Then a resigned, powerful sweep pass came in.
The football hit the opponent's center back and bounced into the net.
This is an own goal!
With this own goal, Sanremo scored another victory at 2-1.
This is their seventh straight win as they stumble in Serie C.
After the game, although Lu Yang was once again awarded the best player of the game, his rating was not high, only 7.2 points.
This is enough to prove the sluggish state of Sanremo as a whole.
If Lu Yang was not the core of the midfield and did not need to take on the task of sorting out the midfield and organizing the offense, then his performance today with eight points, five points and nine points would be nothing.
But unfortunately, as the core of the midfield, he did not perform well in the organization, and the goal he conceded had a lot to do with him.
If it hadn't been for an own goal in the end, Lu Yang would probably have been portrayed as Sanremo's sinner by the media after the game.
This situation of not being able to win has made it difficult for Sanremo.
…
November 3rd, the last Serie C match before the second round of the Italian Cup.
Sanremo vs Carpi.
In this round of competition, Sanremo finally stopped winning as expected.
If it weren't for Lu Yang's header at the last minute, they would have even suffered a defeat.
But even so, many football media are like celebrating the New Year, happily shouting all over the world that Sanremo finally did not win.
It makes others think that Sanremo is some great team.
Looking at the results, it turns out that they are just a Serie C team. What is there to promote if they don’t win?
The media of these black teams are so black that you are stunned, right?
"Ding! You encountered the first draw in your career and received a random gift pack*1."
“You gain a player-level skill, forward attacker.”
"As a forward attacker, you are born to attack. Even if you are in the midfield, you are very eager for the opponent's goal. You can see the route forward more clearly and you know where you should run. When you are in the opponent's half When you play, your speed, dribbling, passing, and shooting will all improve slightly."
This is a very sharp offensive player skill.
Lu Yang's offensive movement, short passing, and dribbling abilities also improved by two points each, reaching 70, 74, and 67 respectively.
Thinking about his recent awkward playing style, Lu Yang knew that he had to change.
He has tried hard, but it turns out that he is not suitable for the core playing style, at least not yet.
So...he decided to liberate himself.
Boom, boom, boom!
Lu Yang knocked on the door of Suotu's office.
It was Tom who opened the door, but Manero was also inside. They seemed to be discussing something.
"Lu Yang, you are here just in time. Come and watch this game. This is the broadcast video of the latest Milan Derby in Serie A. This game is very exciting. The current Serie A superstar Ricardo Izlet is playing in this game. He dominated every game, dominated the game with a hat trick, and led AC Milan to a narrow victory over Inter Milan 3-2." Manero was quite excited.
Although his club is a mortal enemy of the two Milans, what he is studying now only belongs to football and is temporarily separated from the grudges and grudges of the club.
Lu Yang looked at the computer.
On the screen, a sunny young man who loves to laugh is speeding on the green field.
He is so fast that no one can catch his shadow. He shines like a shooting star.
With just one glance, Lu Yang was sure that this star named Izeret was the Son of God in this world!
"How's it going? What do you think?" Manero asked Lu Yang after watching for a while.
"He is very strong, he is at ease, and he is a step above other players on the field! Serie A's number one superstar is worthy of his name!" Lu Yang didn't know what Manero was asking, so he could only answer like this.
Sure enough, Manero shook his head: "I mean, if you are asked to play football like this, are you... willing?"
boom!
In the flash of lightning, Lu Yang's mind was racing with thoughts. He raised his eyes and began to analyze the real thoughts of Manero and Sotu.
Lu Yang looked at Suotu.
Sotu didn't show any surprise. Obviously, this was the way he and Manero discussed to save the team.
Lu Yang swallowed.
This...originally he just didn't want to play as the core midfielder and planned to retreat to the defensive midfielder. Leave the defense and counterattack to him, and leave the rest to fate.
But unexpectedly, Sotu and Manero actually advanced instead of retreating, not only making Lu Yang the core of the midfield, but also pushing Lu Yang's position forward.
This is crazy...
So bold?
Seeing that Lu Yang did not refuse, Manero immediately smiled: "More than twenty years ago, you and I were in exactly the same situation. Although our technical characteristics are different, the difficulties we faced were the same."
"At that time, I chose to retreat and become a core player. Later, this even became a trendy style of play, allowing more midfielders like me to take on heavy responsibilities."
"But with the acceleration of the pace of football, the core-post-playing style is gradually no longer applicable. The overall level of the players has increased, and it is difficult to find defensive flaws just by observation. You must have enough impact to compete at a high level. Find the opportunity to kill the opponent."
"In my fantasy of future football, the core should gradually move forward and fall on impact players. When they have opportunities, they can seize them as soon as possible."
"And that's something rear cores can't do."
"Izellet's kicking style has this futuristic quality. And you... do you want to try it?"
Lu Yang smiled.
Midfielder!
Manero actually suggested that he play as an attacking midfielder.
Just ask, who can refuse to move forward on the football field?
Kimmich, Alaba, Bale, everyone is moving forward, because the frontcourt superstars will always shine brighter than the backcourt superstars. This is an indisputable fact.
Looking at Lu Yang who was thinking, Suotu spoke: "There is a difference between the core and the core. You may not be able to become a core like Moliqi, but... you can become a core like Lu Yang."
In a word, be yourself!
The two big guys said this, which is equivalent to saying that even if something happens, they will be responsible for the blame, and you can kick the ball however you want.
What else is Lu Yang dissatisfied with?
So, Lu Yang nodded heavily.
Then under Tom's desperate eyes, Lu Yang started a heated discussion with Sotu and Manero. He had some recent discoveries and confusions that he needed to communicate with the two master tacticians.
Manero smiled slightly, why did the two master tacticians talk about it?
The puppet Tutu is nothing more than a villain, why should he care? A hero has great ambitions and a good plan. Today, the only heroes in the world are you and me!
During the exchange, Lu Yang was convinced and started drawing pictures with Manero directly. Suotu was mainly responsible for erasing the blackboard.
In the room, Tom's despair was justified.
Lu Yang can't even play the core position at the back, so why should he play at the core position at the front?
Izelette can do it because Izelette is a top star, and his abilities in all aspects are first-class or even super-class. Instead of playing as an attacking midfielder, if someone plays as a forward or midfielder, they will be equally as good as him.
Where is Lu Yang?
This is not a matter of looking down on one's own people, this is a real issue.
But soon, Manero gave his answer.
"In fact, your speed is not absolutely fast, but... the same is true for Izelle. However, he can always give people a feeling of being as fast as lightning. This is because of his dribbling rhythm and breakthrough choices. Pay attention to Here, look at how he kicked..." Manero pointed to the screen, "And here, did you notice Izellet's running?"
"His running this time was very smart...and this, his passing at high speed seems to be a test of passing footwork, but in fact the real test is the player's vision and ability to capture opportunities."
"You may be lacking in passing skills, but in terms of vision, I have great confidence in you. This is also the most important reason why I suggest you play this position."
"In fact, Moric can also play in this position. Although his impact is not enough, his quick passing and shooting can create new threats in this position. He can even change the attributes of the attacking midfielder position like Izelet. "
"But... in the same way, you can make different changes in this position. Especially the irregular Marseille spin you made under the opponent's press in the last round of the league showed me that you are in this position. potential."
Looking into Manero's eyes, for some reason, Lu Yang always felt that Manero was looking at his own son.
But if you say that is called an irregular Marseille slalom, my great emperor Li Yi will have a temper!
Manero's eyes were exactly the same as the way Suotu looked at Lu Yang.
This is the sustenance of ideals and a better fantasy of one's youth.
"Ding! You activated the special mission, Manero's Vision."
"Manero's outlook: Due to limitations of size, speed and the times, Manero's understanding of football has not fully become a reality. In football, there are still many things that are beyond his reach. You will Become Manero’s most beautiful person and complete his guesses about the future of football on his behalf.”
"Task reward: Superstar skills, the Iron Man (injury immunity) that Manero envies. Ball-level skills, Kaka's stride. Player-level skills, proficiency in the outer instep."
Lu Yang looked at the task bar and instantly understood Manero's enthusiasm.
When God opens a door for you, he will also close a window.
Manero's football career is perfect, but he can never see the scenery ahead. He can only sit in the midfielder position and win the game thousands of miles away.
Although it is full of the demeanor of a wise man and a coach, it also lacks a bit of the passion, excitement, blood and decisiveness of the front line.
Manero must be preparing something. With his understanding of football, he cannot be idle all his life.
More than six teams in Serie A have invited him, including the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1. Teams everywhere have invited him to coach. But he has never agreed, so his goal is actually obvious.
Either wait to take over his parent team Juventus, or... take over the Italian national team and lead the team to complete the task they failed to complete that year - the European Cup!
In an instant, Lu Yang woke up.
He looked at Manero and nodded heavily.
No one knows what he promised Manero, including Manero.
What he promised was not to help Manero test a new way of playing, but to help Manero fulfill his dream and touch the glory of the Delaunay Cup!
