"Welcome to Sanremo, I will help you integrate into the team as soon as possible." Lu Yang extended his right hand.
Beqirqi looked at Lu Yang, held Lu Yang's hand, and said slightly: "Thank you for your kindness. I also hope that I can bring something different to Sanremo."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the teammates with higher quotient in the team were already sweating.
Lu Yang's words implicitly pointed out his protagonist status.
I'll help you, understand.
Bechirci's answer reflects his confidence in himself. He believes that Sanremo's original structure will not restrict him, whether it is playing tactics or relationships within the team.
This is the confidence of an absolutely powerful person and a star.
After that, the rest of the people sparsely expressed their welcome to Beqirqi's arrival.
In the afternoon, team training match.
Lu Yang did not play. He stood on the sidelines and followed the developments on the court with Suotu.
Beqirqi held the ball and after some attempts with the defender, he easily passed the substitute defender.
Then he continued to thrust in the ribs of the penalty area. After some maneuvers, he finally came to the inside of the penalty area and scored a close-range shot with a tricky angle.
"How is it?" Sotu asked.
"My personal ability is indeed quite strong." Lu Yang replied.
"What do you think of this ball?" Suotu asked again.
"If it is an advantageous game and there are more offensive opportunities, then after the first pass, you can start from the ribs and try to shoot." Lu Yang said, "If the team falls behind or the offensive opportunity is hard-won, then in the first After the first pass, when attracting double-teams from the opponent, passing the football to Soger, who is already open, or even to Bayizami, who cuts inside without the ball at the top of the penalty area on the other side, is a more threatening option. ."
"In order to be safe, he did not take a long shot outside the penalty area. However, he later did something more risky than a long shot. He hit the goal after a one-on-one in the penalty area."
"This offense does seem strong enough, but the overall idea is inconsistent. That shot was very reluctant. If our opponent was the goalkeeper of a high-level team, it would have been saved with a high probability."
"Of course, to be able to complete a complete shot in that environment, personal ability really doesn't matter."
Lu Yang did not belittle Beqirqi excessively, but he also did not praise him.
Lu Yang has seen players with Bechelci's playing style and ability before.
Ceballos, the first star of the Italian Star team, plays this way of playing as a wing core.
This season Ceballos has had more playing opportunities in Ligue 1 with Monaco.
Next season, another wing core in their team will definitely be bought at a high price. By then, Ceballos will usher in a period of skyrocketing data. In two or three years, he is estimated to have cost at least more than 30 million to be traded to a wealthy club.
The future is very promising.
But before that, Ceballos also played a lot of time as a substitute and in non-core football.
"He does not trust his teammates." Sotu hit the nail on the head, "He is willing to make some simple passes with his teammates, but at critical moments he only believes in his own personal abilities, whether it is passing people or hitting the goal."
"This is one of the habits developed by the core of small teams. Sometimes, it will hinder their further growth. This cannot be changed in a short while."
"At this time, very direct instructions are often needed to let him distribute the ball and so on."
"But...this kind of instruction would make him very uncomfortable."
"I will tactically ask him to cooperate with his teammates as much as possible in the offense. But when it comes to the game, the only one who can control and remind him will be you."
"This could affect your relationship with each other, especially...if he doesn't recognize your status."
Lu Yang did not speak, but just told Suotu a piece of news: "Alsace said that he recently wanted to renegotiate my contract with the team. But I blocked it..."
Suotu was stunned.
Why are you blocking?
Although renegotiating the contract in half a season seems a bit greedy on the part of the players, but... this is also a decision made when the team was "unjust" in the first place. In theory, it is reasonable and reasonable.
"I asked Alsace to have a good talk with the team in the summer. I don't want the team to have any players with a higher salary than me other than retired veteran stars who are not joining for free." Lu Yang raised his eyes. "I don't mind seeing others being paid more than me, but I don't want this to be a sign that they mistakenly think they can challenge me."
"At that time, Mr. Russell will definitely understand this."
This summer, Lu Yang will ask Sanremo for a high salary that is enough to prove his team status.
Lest there are always people around Russell who feel that Lu Yang is too cheap and that the team still has a lot of salary to sign stars who may not meet the requirements of the team and the head coach.
Suotu frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Yang said: "In the next game, I will let Bechierci play the football he wants to play. If he can indeed shoulder this important task, then in the next game, I will cooperate with him just like I cooperate with Moric."
"But if he can't do it, I hope he can obey the team's tactical arrangements."
All are football players.
Since we are challenging Lu Yang, we can only compare on the court.
If Beqirqi can also obtain what Lu Yang led the team to obtain, then he should indeed receive core treatment.
But if that doesn't work, then you should stay wherever it is cool.
Sotu thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I will make appropriate adjustments. But we don't have much time. After two rounds, it will be the fifth round of the Italian Cup. In this game, I hope we can be better." Furthermore, because the opponent is not so powerful that it is invincible.”
Sanremo's opponent in the fifth round of the Coppa Italia was actually an old enemy of Lu Yang.
It is also the current leader in the Italian Serie B standings, Chievo!
They are a team that is beyond the level of the second division. They played in Serie A last season.
There were many reasons for their relegation last season. One of the important reasons was that their powerful striker combination was not in harmony, so one of them was loaned to the Italian team Turis.
And it turns out that the one who is loaned out may be the one who can handle things better.
Because this season, with both the star striker and the head coach leaving, the Serie B striker once again carried the team far ahead of the other Serie B teams.
Brescia, Benevento, these strong Serie B teams that are aiming to advance to the first division, are all suppressed by Chievo.
And that striker is called Diego Talista!
I originally thought that the next match would be on the Serie A stage.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yang would meet his old rival again so soon.
To be honest, Lu Yang is not very able to accept losing his place in front of an "old friend".
He didn't want to lose at all in the match with Talista.
Therefore, he must deal with the recent turmoil in the team before that.
On this point, he and Sotu agreed very much.
…
On February 2nd, just two days after the winter window ended, Sanremo ushered in its second game after the winter break.
They face Arezzo, who currently tops the Serie C standings!
The two teams played against each other last season, and Sanremo won at that time, but it was difficult to win because it all depended on Lu Yang's winning goal.
Like Sanremo, Arezzo is very stable in the league. Sanremo had three draws and two losses in the first half of the season and won all the remaining games. The result was three points less than Arezzo.
So, this is a six-point super match that is likely to decide the Serie C title this season.
At the beginning of the game, Arezo set up a 352 or 532 formation.
This is their second formation, not their first choice.
But they believe that such a formation can establish a tactical advantage against Sanremo.
They relied on the numerical advantage in the midfield to attack Sanremo who did not have the weakness of the midfield, and forcibly divided Sanremo's front and backcourts.
In order to get through the half, Sanremo had to increase the retracement of the two wingers and even the center.
This was intentional to further wear down Sanremo's already tired wingers.
It was also because Sanremo's full-backs didn't have the ability to step in.
This is indeed a tactical crushing.
And that's in the long run over the entire season.
If other teams insist on this style of play and increase the burden on Sanremo's wing, then Sanremo may usher in a new wave of injuries at the end of the season.
By then, even if Sanremo can advance, they will lose the qualification to compete with Arezzo for the Serie C championship.
After half a season, it is normal for the opponent to figure out the shortcomings of Sanremo's formation. None of the teams that can lead the standings is exhausted.
"Why don't you come up? What are you afraid of? Play with me and we can fight!"
Sanremo's starting right winger Bechiric was quite dissatisfied with his right back Matias.
Bechierci is not asking Matias to transform into the legendary Italian full-back Taj, he just needs a tool to help him share the defensive pressure and hit a wall with him.
But Mathias is a defensive right back, especially when Lu Yang was playing left back, Mathias had to swing to the right of the three central defenders at any time.
In his bones, there is no gene for stepping forward and taking risks.
This is both his shortcoming and his strength.
Many people say that Lu Yang's all-around playing style damages the creativity and room for improvement of his teammates.
But the premise is that teammates must have the space and willingness to improve.
In fact, to put it another way, Lu Yang's all-round playing style was born to make up for the shortcomings of his teammates and allow them to play in the most comfortable state.
Fernandez couldn't rush forward, and Matias was unwilling to take the risk to intervene. When Lu Yang connected on the right, he naturally retreated deeper.
Bayizami is not good at cooperating, and Rondo is too slow to catch up. When Lu Yang connects on the left, he likes to dribble more and rush in. He only plays with Bayizami in the offensive third zone, and then gives him a pass. Space for Bazami to play.
Whether the versatility of teammates harms the development of others is actually worth discussing.
Many media previously accused Sotu's playing style of asking the whole team to run and cooperate with Lu Yang and make sacrifices.
But there is no other way. Lu Yang is actually sacrificing for everyone.
But Beqirqi is different. He requires the whole team to serve him alone.
When he needs to hit the wall, you have to come up and be the wall. Even if you lose your defensive position because of it, I don't care!
When he needs to open up, you have to help him open up space. Even if you don't actually meet his release point once you open up, he doesn't care.
Then when he needs support, he will complain about why you are so far away from him. As for the reason, he doesn't care. He wants him to feel that he won't listen to any explanation.
In short, on the court, Beqirqi was not wrong, it was everyone else who was wrong.
How can this make teammates happy?
Sogel helped him pull the ball twice, but what he got in exchange was "Why don't you grab points in the penalty area? I just had a good passing opportunity and went straight into the penalty area!".
Soger spread his hands and said, OK, see if I will help you out later.
Bayizami ran regularly and cut inside without the ball, but what he got was "Can you stay on the wing? You have brought the defenders to my side. Do I want to fight one against three?"
Bayizami is full of questions. Why don't you seize such a good opportunity? This is what Lu is best at. Are you good at it?
Versage stepped in to assist, and Bechierci's pass was an opportunity, but he complained that Versage's running blocked his breakthrough direction.
Versage looked like he had eaten shit.
I can't run faster without the ball than you can run in circles with the opponent with the ball?
I ran two meters in front of you. Do you blame me for blocking your running route?
Did you apply for a route with the Civil Aviation Administration of China when you were playing football?
No one else can appear in front of you when co-writing?
Even the super engineer Latuidi sat in the back and almost never pushed forward. Bechelci accused him of "Why didn't you come forward to respond just now? You are a midfielder, you can't be an invisible man"!
Ratuidi was so angry that he couldn't even utter a word. How can I, the best midfielder, best defensive player, and steal leader in Serie A, be so worthless?
This season, Ratuidi is currently the steal leader in Serie C. His steal data is better than that of Lu Yang, who is running all over the field. This is enough to show his importance. How can he be called an invisible man?
I am a defensive midfielder and I am inherently slow. Do you understand that my only responsibility is defense? As soon as I come up, people can hit the front of the penalty area in minutes. If you lose the ball, it has nothing to do with you, right?
After half the game, Beqirqi made everyone angry.
During the halftime break, Becherchi also specifically found Sotu. He believed that the current team system needs to make major changes, and he needs comprehensive tactical support.
Sotu agreed to him, and then emphasized some things Beqirqi needed when laying out his tactics.
"Matthias, at the appropriate time, you can step forward." Sotu said.
"Ah? What about the gap behind me after I go up?" Mathias looked embarrassed.
"Lu Yang will make up for it." Sotu said, "Versach, pay attention to your running position, go to the right wing more often, and leave the middle area to Bechirci who cuts inside. He prefers to run in activity in this area.”
Versage nodded helplessly, thinking that he wants me to play wide or even on the bottom. How about I play as a right winger?
"Ratuidi, when you can, switch positions with Lu Yang and try to participate in the attack." Sotu continued, "Baizami, you can open up more space. Today your main task is to pass the ball. middle."
"Thorger, living in the penalty area, puts pressure on their centre-backs so that they don't dare to distract Bechelci."
After some arrangements, everyone was stunned.
This tactic actually sounds quite familiar.
If you look carefully, isn't it just to let Bechelci hold the ball in the ribs?
Isn't this the kicking style Lu Yang is best at?
However, although they are also holding the ball in the ribs, Beqirqi and Lu Yang have completely different needs.
Lu Yang needs his teammates to get close to him, cross paths with him, and provide him with cover.
And Beqirqi needs space even more.
There are two reasons for this different demand.
The first is that Beqirqi has stronger personal ability, so he does not want his teammates to "block" him.
The second is that Lu Yang's vision is so strong that he can capture any route that can deliver a fatal threat pass or a threatening shot in a complicated environment.
Beqirqi's advantage was Lu Yang's disadvantage.
Lu Yang's advantage is also Beqirqi's disadvantage.
This is how we have two playing methods for the same position but with different needs.
With the team serving them, how much threat they can create in the ribs will be the only criterion for judging which of the two is more suitable to stay in this position.
It is true that there is nothing wrong with letting Beqirqi move here and Lu Yang retreat to the midfield.
But...if Beqirqi is not efficient enough, why should Lu Yang sacrifice his versatility to win over Beqirqi?
He doesn't want to be the player hurt by his versatility!
Pogba plays as a defensive midfielder, Griezmann plays as a defensive forward, Kimmich and Cuadrado play as right backs, and Douglas Costa keeps changing sides. These are all forced, not what they are best at and what they most hope for. Kick position.
…
Soon, the second half kicked off.
Everyone noticed that Sanremo’s formation had changed.
From 4213 to 433.
Lu Yang retreated to midfield.
As for his front midfielder position, he is more occupied by the right winger Bechelci after cutting inside.
Bechelci's right winger position was filled by Versach.
In his playing style, Beqirqi swings more on the right wing and attacking midfielder positions.
His threat has indeed increased significantly.
He won two set pieces for the team in the half-space.
However, they were located far away and did not pose a very direct threat.
Eighty-one minutes into the second half.
Bechierqi called to Matthias to come forward and get involved with him.
After they hit the wall, he cut inside decisively.
Mathias kept thrusting forward.
Versage also ran from the center to the right, behind Bechelci on the right side, ready to receive Bechelci.
Beqirqi faced the opponent's defensive player in the ribs. He kept moving his center of gravity and finally broke through with the ball.
The opponent did not follow up and he gained a certain amount of space.
It was a good chance to shoot from distance, but he missed.
The opponent's central defender stepped up, and now it was a good opportunity to pass the ball to Soger.
In 1V1 in the penalty area, Soger has an advantage as the attacker.
However, Beqirqi made a beautiful Marseille spin and passed the opponent's central defender, which looked amazing.
boom!
The midfielder coming from the other side made a tackle and kicked the football away from Bechelci's feet.
He should have helped defend Bayizami with the right back, but after Bayizami lived on the wing, his threat was greatly reduced, so the midfielder who helped defend had to focus on Bechirci.
This is a good steal.
Because after completing the Marseille slalom, the distance between Bechelci and the football was a bit far, and it was easy to be intercepted.
It’s already been eighty minutes, so it’s normal for Bechelci’s physical strength and explosive power to be a little behind.
Beqirqi kept complaining on the ground, indicating to the referee that this should be a free kick or even a penalty kick.
The referee ignored him at all.
There were no fouls on defense this time.
"Return to defense!"
Lu Yang yelled at Mathias and ran towards the right back position.
The place was completely empty.
Sure enough, the opponent also saw this gap and passed it directly.
One of the opponent's two centers pulls over and goes all the way to the bottom.
Lu Yang defended and stood his ground, but the opponent passed the ball back to the midfielder outside the penalty area.
Ratuidi stood forward and was stuck two positions behind him, unable to do anything.
The opponent dribbled the ball forward three meters and entered an excellent long-range shooting area.
Najib had to rush forward.
The opponent's midfielder faked a shot and passed the ball to the midfielder coming up from the right.
Palacios made a prompt decision and made a lateral sliding tackle to the right, preparing to block the opponent's shot route.
If the opponent shoots a low ball, he can block it.
If the opponent shoots a half-high ball, it depends on the performance of goalkeeper Jarrad.
This is a cooperation between the central defender and the goalkeeper, which must be said to be quite high-end.
However, the opponent's midfielder still did not shoot, but kicked the ball to the unmarked Arezzo center in the penalty area.
boom!
Arezzo center lived up to Kong Rong's kindness and scored the ball.
1:0!
Arezzo takes the lead!
Considering there may be less than ten minutes left in the game, this could very well be the shot that kills the game.
Because this is the focus of Serie C, it will also be broadcast on TV.
On TV, this attack was replayed repeatedly.
From Sanremo's deadly threat to Arezzo's counterattack, everyone saw it.
The average fans are pity that Beqirqi almost succeeded in one pass three.
But high-level fans can see that Beqirqi mobilized most of the team's resources to serve him, but only allowed those teammates to serve without allowing them to participate in the core offense.
He carried the offense on his shoulders by himself, but failed to carry it.
Therefore, when he lost the ball, most of the team was out of position, and it was not difficult to understand why he was forced to counterattack.
Especially the opponent's last three consecutive transfers, the No. 11 center was transferred to the No. 6 midfielder, the No. 6 midfielder was to the No. 8 midfielder, and the No. 8 midfielder was to the No. 9 center.
A set of transfers passed Lu Yang, Nagy, and Palacios, creating a single opportunity in the penalty area.
In sharp contrast to Bechierci who passed three.
"If he was the Argentinian superstar, this ball might have been available, but unfortunately...he is not." Old Tom was quite regretful.
He knew that there was not much time left for Beqirqi.
For eighty minutes, Bechierqi fully demonstrated his technical characteristics and threats, but never brought about a breakthrough in the score.
He is excellent and the type of player Sanremo lacks and needs.
But he could not carry the legendary ship Sanremo that was setting sail.
In the next five minutes, Beqirqi seemed to know that he seemed to have messed up his debut, and he began to dribble the ball more desperately and drill inside.
Sogel also began to help him pull aside regardless of previous suspicions, hoping to rewrite the score.
Versage also stayed at the right wing position, helping Bechelci pull away a defensive player.
Mathias did not dare to step forward.
However, left back Kamijon frequently stepped forward to form a wing threat with Bayizami.
It's a pity that Bechirci has never seen this side.
It seems as if the task of Bayizami and Kamijon is to help him attract one more defensive player.
With the decrease in physical strength, Beqirqi's emergency stops and starts during the breakthrough became much slower, and the threat began to decrease. The opponent had more opportunities to engage in physical confrontation with him. He kept falling down, but gradually he couldn't even get the whistle for a foul.
During this period, the opponent counterattacked again and almost scored.
After the opponent's counterattack, Lu Yang's expression changed significantly.
He gave Bečilci everything he asked for Sotu, but Bečilci did not put in a convincing performance.
Lu Yang was not one to sit still, even if there was little time left, he decided to rely on himself to fight for the last chance for the team.
The game entered stoppage time.
Sanremo won the ball again.
But the opponent has returned to defense across the board.
Beqirqi once again got the ball in the rib area. Judging from his posture, he should be thinking about trying to break through the opponent again, without any intention of passing the ball to other players.
And this time, there were definitely more than three defenders around him.
boom!
The football at Bechelci's feet was stolen.
Beqirqi was very surprised.
There should be no opposing defender behind him.
In an instant, a jersey identical to his own floated past his eyes.
He realized that he seemed to have been intercepted by his teammates?
"What happened on the court? Lu Yang stole the football from his teammate Bechirci?"
"Lu Yang rushed forward with the ball, his feet were spinning continuously, and his speed did not slow down."
"One push of the ball, easy breakthrough."
"Two players from the opposing team came up to attack Lu Yang."
"Oh! A beautiful ox-tail pass! Lu Yang broke through to the right, but the football bounced out from the left. The ox-tail pass passed through the crotch and the ball passed. This is an extremely beautiful breakthrough."
"Lu Yang squeezed past the opponent's right side. The opponent's hand was pulling, but he couldn't stop Lu Yang!"
"The opponent's centre-back came up!"
"Lu Yang controls the ball and turns around. Is he going to use his extremely confrontational Bengbu swivel again? Yes, we interviewed Lu Yang and he called this action the Bengbu swivel."
"No! Lu Yang didn't continue to spin. He only did the first half of the action. He leaned against the opponent's center back, turned his back to the goal, and picked up the football."
"The opponent's center back can only watch the high-altitude ball. Because of Lu Yang's blockage, he can't compete for the top."
"But at the same time, Lu Yang can't handle this ball. It's unrealistic if he wants to copy his previous extraordinary shot. This ball is not mobile and just flies up in place. , has height, but no speed and displacement.”
"Moreover, Lu Yang was blocked by the opponent's center back and could not complete his turn. The opponent had obviously done their homework on Lu Yang."
boom!
Lu Yang leaned back vigorously, creating a little space.
Then he seemed to have lost his balance. One foot suddenly exerted force, and the other foot was raised high. The whole person suddenly jumped up, and then hung upside down in the air.
boom!
The opponent's center back put his head forward, trying to hit the football falling from mid-air.
But in between, a foot kicked the football out.
The football was full of force, going straight from top to bottom and straight to the ground. At the moment when everyone was still looking up at the sky, the football had already penetrated into the lower corner of the goal.
This is an amazing shot!
The upside-down golden hook in the penalty area!
Amazing as always!
Sanremo equalized the score at the last moment of the game!
"Roar!"
After Lu Yang stood up, he looked up to the sky and let out an angry roar!
Sanremo did not lose.
But Sanremo didn't win either!
This is not cause for celebration!
Lu Yang's roar aroused the resonance of the entire Sanremo team.
They all looked serious.
They relied on Lu Yang to gain a glimmer of dignity and did not let their strongest competitor take all three points.
But they were not happy at all in this game.
They had the upper hand and they could have won.
Arezzo is no better than Sanremo, this is something everyone in Sanremo can feel.
But they missed too many opportunities.
In this roar, there is unwillingness, anger, regret, and too much dissatisfaction!
