"The wolf is coming!" The newly promoted team leads the Serie B standings with six goals! 》
"Is the triple jump coming?" Sanremo's odds of promotion to Serie A this season plummet! 》
"The 60-goal player of the season scored a hat trick in the first game of Serie B. Is he going to dominate the Serie B scorer list?" 》
"Luck or Strength?" Sanremo tactical analysis small class! 》
"Arrogant?" Sanremo changed their formations for training in the second half. How could they go far if they were so arrogant? 》
The first round of Serie B ended quickly.
Sanremo also got some attention and their performance was a surprise.
But there is no more relevant news.
Because the life-and-death battle for the Italian national team has come to an end.
There are only four final games left in next year's European Cup qualifiers.
From September 2nd to 6th, two of them will be completed.
All Italians are waiting for good news from the front.
However, what is unacceptable is... In the past few days, the Italian national team has had one draw and one loss, almost failing to qualify.
Life hangs on a thread!
According to the current points, they must win the next two games, and only if several other competitors fall behind can they directly qualify for next year's European Cup finals.
If one requirement is not met, they will have to play in the play-offs.
Even if they lose the next two games, they won't even get to play in the play-offs.
This is the first time in the history of Italian football.
It only took Italy twelve years to go from winning the European Cup to missing out on the European Cup.
For a time, the entire Italian football world was filled with complaints.
Everyone is angrily criticizing the Football Association's inaction and wrong policy.
Some people even criticized Vincent, the current head coach of the national team, thinking that he would not mobilize his troops and would only mechanically use a very small number of players. Especially in the selection and use of young players, it is too conservative.
For example, Ceballos and Pompeti, who were recruited this time, did not get playing time. They felt that they were just making appearances for the public, changing the soup without changing the medicine.
In this regard, Vincent was speechless and choked.
He does have this problem.
But... these four games are all life and death battles. Who dares to let the rookies play?
You know, if Italy wins all four games, it can directly qualify and get a spot in the finals.
Of course Vincent is going to give it a try.
Now that he has lost, everyone is throwing the blame on him?
If you are promoted to a young general and lose, do you have to blame yourself for putting too much pressure on the young general and being too eager to train?
Damn it!
Vincent could clearly feel that among those public opinions, there was someone from Maltivini, the current president of the Italian Football Association.
Maltifni wanted to get himself down and pave the way for Manero.
In response, Vincent refused to accept his fate and resisted.
Vincent: "No matter how good the chef is, he can't make fragrant rice without rice. I personally think that I have done my best. It is an indisputable fact that Italy is inferior to other football powers in terms of football talents."
"The team is not picking up the slack. This is not my responsibility, it is the responsibility of the entire society. I can only organize my troops, but I cannot cultivate a group of new stars who can fight hard in a short period of time. No one can do it. ."
"What? You said Manero can do it?"
"I know that Manero has just led the team to win the European Youth Championship, but the youth team's game and the adult team's game are completely different. As long as you know a little bit about football, you will not be unaware of the gap."
"Of course, I am personally willing to invite Manero to be the assistant coach of the Italian national team. I think neither I nor he want Italy to miss the European Cup next year, right?"
Vincent was very shady and dug a hole directly.
Still a conspiracy!
Manero had to pick.
He invited Manero. If Manero refused to join the assistant coaching staff of the Italian national team at this time, then Vincent would have something to say.
Manero's reputation will also take a hit.
After the European Youth Championship next year, or there will be no European Youth Championship at all, when Manero competes to be the coach of the Italian national team, this will be a stain.
But if Manero comes.
Then... if there is no result, Manero will also get a share of the blame.
After getting good grades, Vincent is the one who makes the money.
No matter what, Manero can't be happy with it.
Even foreigners are very good at this thick black art.
But Vincent did not expect that less than two hours after he said this to reporters, Manero summoned reporters to publish his "application for joining the group": "So far, I have not accepted Any invitation for national team duties, but..."
"I personally say that I am willing to make any sacrifice to save Italy. This includes but is not limited to becoming a member of the national team's assistant coaching staff and becoming Vincent's assistant."
"Italy cannot live without the European Cup, and Italian fans cannot live without the European Cup! For the benefit and wishes of the fans, I am undoubtedly willing to do anything for Italy."
Manero's response came so quickly, beyond the expectations of Vincent and the Football Association executives behind him.
Because everyone knows that it is impossible for Manero and Vincent to work together.
It’s not that they are in conflict, but that they have different positions and represent different interest groups.
The simplest question is to join the coaching staff with two qualifiers left. If Italy does not reach the European Cup this time, how should the pot be divided?
Vincent will definitely take the blame.
But Manero wanted to be a non-stick pan, and the people behind Vincent would not agree.
When various internal revelations came out, there was a lot of excitement.
This makes people a little confused about Manero's motives.
Including Maltifni, they all told Manero that this is not the best time for you to come forward. Why did you respond to Vincent? Isn’t it better to pretend to be disconnected? I will handle this matter for you!
In this regard, Manero had only one sentence: "Because I really can't accept the European Cup without Italy's participation!"
Maltifni was speechless.
More than ten seconds later, Maltifni sighed: "Okay, I will try my best to fight for your power in the teaching staff. But... you have to be prepared. The most you do may be coaching. Drink water at the table.”
This means that you may definitely suffer this loss.
Manero knew that his decision somewhat broke Maltifni's arrangement, and comforted him: "Thank you for your understanding. Of course, you don't need to worry too much."
"Even if we really fail and Italy misses the European Cup, I will not be the biggest sinner. The eyes of the fans are sharp."
"Besides, if Sanremo can continue to perform brilliantly this year, and if the miracle you created can advance from the Italian Cup to the European War and achieve certain results, then we will still become the masters of the Italian national team next summer."
"The initiative has always been in our hands. In other words, the initiative has always been in the hands of Sanremo! Fortunately, Sanremo has always been on our side."
Maltifni's eyes widened.
European war?
Sanremo?
Miracle?
A bold idea suddenly came into his mind.
Does Manero think that Sanremo will have a chance in this year's European war?
I don’t want to know, I’m scared when I think about it.
Maltifni looked through the European war records over the years. Among the teams that have reached the Europa League for the first time, the one with the best results is the Premier League Wolves.
They did reach the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
But Wolves are a Premier League team, a top league team!
In the secondary league, the best result achieved by entering the Europa League for the first time was third place in the group!
Yes, there is no one who has made it out of the group stage and into the knockout rounds, no!
As a second-tier league team, if Sanremo can reach the knockout rounds, it will be a huge success and it will show its strength throughout Europe.
Sanremo is now somewhat famous throughout Europe.
But no one knows how strong it is, and no one recognizes it yet.
The European war is a Shura field where each league understands each other's strengths.
No matter how timid you are at home, if you are brave in the European war, your reputation is destined to be even greater. You will have more fans, your fans will be more aggressive, and you will be more competitive when buying players.
No matter how strong you are at home, you will only become a sinner in the domestic league in the European war.
If you are an expert in civil war and an outsider in foreign war, you will only be looked down upon.
If Maltifni can cultivate such a Sanremo team, as the president of the Italian Football Association and one of the supporters of Sanremo, and create miracles in the Italian Cup and the European War one after another, Maltivni’s right to speak is definitely enough Dominate the choice of coach of the Italian national team.
Even if Italy loses the qualification to participate in the European Cup, even if the coach once served as an assistant in that failed national team.
"What you said makes sense. I will try to get the best schedule for Sanremo." Maltifni already had an idea in mind.
One day later, the Italian Football Association officially announced that Manero had joined the Italian national team coaching staff and became the chief assistant coach.
It is said that Manero did not make any changes to Vincent's national team after becoming an assistant coach. He only had one request, and that was...next time, which is the last call-up for the European Cup qualifiers, the last two games When the time comes, take Lu Yang with you!
…
Whether Italy's European Cup dream is shattered or not is still being watched by most fans.
In the Sanremo head coach's office, there is a rare loud voice other than Sotu.
"Why? If Bernoulini doesn't play, shouldn't I be the starter?" Nagy said with reluctance on his face.
Because Sotu just told him that he will be on the bench in the next game.
It's not that Najib can't accept substitutes, but...even if he can't compete with Bernoulini, why are Palacios and Matias the starting center back combination for the next game?
Matias is a right back!
Sotu looked at Najib without saying a word for three full minutes.
During this period, Najib realized that he had just lost his temper with the butcher?
That's a butcher!
It goes without saying that Sotu is still the head coach.
Perhaps the communication pattern between Lu Yang and Sotu misled Najib, making him think that anyone could get along with Sotu like that.
Between Lu Yang and Suo Tu, they talked freely, and Suo Tu even liked to listen to Lu Yang's opinions many times, because what Lu Yang said was very meaningful. Sometimes, Lu Yang would even go against Suo Tu's arrangements, such as ending up injured, etc., and Suo Tu would always compromise for Lu Yang.
Including Suo Tu's fate in Lu Yang's place, if Lu Yang doesn't want to, Suo Tu will take his life back.
As time went by, Najir became a little more casual.
So much so that he forgot why Lu Yang got such treatment.
Lu Yang didn't end up playing, and Lu Yang played injured, not because Suotu didn't want him to play, but because Suotu couldn't bear it.
This is fundamentally different from Sotu letting Najib stand in as a substitute.
Under Sotu's death gaze, Nagy felt guilty.
Seeing Nagy react, Sotu slowly said: "As the head coach, I don't need to explain to the players why I put him on the bench. This is my absolute right."
"But since you also know what mistakes you made, I can give you a little light."
"Your performance on the field and in training does not satisfy me. Your body has enough talent to support you to become a good central defender, but your mind is not clear enough."
"You don't understand the importance of some things. This is not the consciousness of a good centre-back."
"You have the most own goals in the league, and your low-level mistakes are the highest in the team. You should be forgiven because you are the team's own youth training, you are still young, and you are worthy of everyone's efforts and waiting."
"But the premise is that you have to let everyone see your changes. One year is like this, two years is like this, three years and five years? What reasons should the fans use to convince themselves?"
"As the head coach, I want you to know what behavior is right and what performance is wrong. I can't let you go further and further down the wrong path, because that is not tolerance for you, but irresponsibility for you. ."
"Okay, now you can get out! I hope you disappear within five seconds, otherwise you won't even have to sit on the bench!"
Sotu sees off guests politely.
Nagy crawled and rolled out of the office.
Looking at Najib's back, Sotu fell into deep thought.
I hope Najib understands what he means.
Moric...is not a fool.
As a commander with extremely high EQ and IQ, Molic may be a little confused when he has just fallen in love, but as time goes by, it will be difficult to hide what Najib does from Molic.
By the time……
If he had to choose between Moric and Nagy, Sotu would undoubtedly choose Moric.
The matter of Najib and Moric must be resolved later.
Maybe Najib was just joking, but the joke clearly went too far.
On September 8, the second round of the Italian Serie B league kicked off.
Sanremo is still playing at home against regular Serie B team Pisa.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Because Ratuidi and Bernoulini had just returned from the national team, neither of them was included in the squad for this game.
Sanremo's current substitute lineup can still give them a break.
Due to personnel changes and other issues in this game, Sotu still arranged Sanremo's more confident 433 formation.
The frontcourt trio of Bayizami, Soger and Fernandez.
The midfield trio of Moric, Lahm, and Lu Yang, with Lahm continuing to serve as the defensive midfielder.
The backcourt quartet of Camichon, Palacios, Matias, and Kanyes.
Among them, Matias served as the central defender in a four-back formation for the first time, which surprised many fans.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t we go to Najib?
Of course, some people speculate that this may be Sotu's reward or appeasement to Mathias.
After all, he was the main right back last season, but this season he has been visibly reduced to a substitute, which makes everyone feel unhappy.
If he doesn't take care of his emotions, Mathias is likely to leave as soon as he says it.
It's not like there aren't teams out there pursuing Mathias.
Even Serie B had several teams ask Sanremo about Matias' transfer after Canyes' transfer.
Sanremo declined these inquiries due to squad thickness considerations.
This game allowed Sanremo to become more familiar with the level of Serie B.
They found that, except for the strong Serie B teams, the other teams could not put much pressure on Sanremo.
Although Pisa was stronger than Cittadella in the previous round, they were still slightly inadequate in the face of Sanremo's attack.
Twenty-third minute of the game.
Kanyes and Fernandez cooperated on the wing, and Fernandez pulled the ball back to Kanyes.
Kanyes kept passing the ball to Lu Yang, and then chose to cut inside without the ball.
Lu Yang was three steps outside the penalty area and dribbled the ball laterally from the right to the center.
Because of the pull of his teammates, he was not strictly defended.
Therefore, Lu Yang hit Pisa's goal with a heavy shot!
Sanremo leads 1-0.
This goal came easily, because after the last game, Lu Yang received a random gift package.
After opening it, the player-level skill "Stepping Ball Skill" was obtained.
As a result, the ball control attribute has increased from 83 to 84, approaching the critical value.
The technique of stepping on the ball is actually not a specific technique, but a "ball feel".
So it's actually very important.
Especially when players dribble laterally, this ball feel can make the player's instep dribbling more smoothly.
The difference between dribbling with the instep, dialing the ball, knocking the ball and other dribbling methods is that it can control the football to the maximum extent.
Dribbling is essentially losing the ball, but you just grab the football again.
But carrying the ball with the instep is different. It allows the instep to be in almost constant contact with the football.
Many defensive players you see are indifferent to players who are not very fast in lateral dribbling, allowing the opponent to pass easily. The reason is because the attacker uses the instep to dribble the ball.
This method is extremely confusing and precise.
Once a defensive player takes a step, there is a high probability that he will be penetrated by the opponent.
And if you don’t take a step, you won’t be able to keep up with the opponent’s next step.
Messi and Dybala are all good players.
Of course, their dribbling threat comes not only from instep dribbling.
The 41st minute of the game.
Moric kept rocketing the ball and shooting, and Bayizami ran directly out of the left wing.
Facing the goalkeeper, Bayizami made a move to pass the ball to Fernandez, who inserted himself on the right, but ended up hitting a shot from a close corner.
The goalkeeper was deceived and saved the ball.
Sanremo leads 2-0.
Bayizami opened his league goal account this season.
This is his second goal this season.
The last goal was scored against Juventus in the Italian Super Cup.
Awards such as the Super Cup, Club World Cup, and Community Shield are all one award that can be used as two awards.
They can be counted when counting awards last season.
They can still be counted when counting awards this season.
What a useful one!
Coming back in the second half, Pisa was obviously not willing to take the bitter pill like this.
They launched a very fierce attack on Sanremo's right flank.
Kanyes is strong on offense and defensive on weak.
Matias is not a dedicated central defender, and the defense between the two men was shaky for a while.
Pisa used a high-altitude ball pass and hit two headers directly on Matias' head, almost scoring both times.
In the 67th minute of the game, Sotu signaled a substitution and replaced Mathias with Nagy.
Judging from the current situation, Matias may be able to play as a central defender in a three-back lineup, but he may only be able to play as a right back in a four-back lineup.
But no matter what, Matthias is on the field, and he is relatively happy.
As time goes by, the team will play more and more games, and Matias will not worry about not starting the game by then.
However, on the other side, Nagy once again suffered from a lack of concentration five minutes after coming on.
Kanyes faced the opponent's pressing and passed back to Najib.
The opponent quickly pressed Najib.
There was an opponent's striker wandering between Najib and Palacios, and Najib passed back to goalkeeper Areola for insurance.
But when he was passing the ball, he missed the kick, and Areola, who came out to receive the ball near the goal post, was three meters away from the path of the football.
The Pisa striker made a quick decision and rushed towards the ball.
Areola competed with the opponent for speed, but because the opponent calculated deliberately and unintentionally, he was a step slower.
Not only that, Areola was also kicked in the chest by the opponent's foot after stabbing the football.
Not only did Sanremo concede a goal, but the goalkeeper held his chest for a long time and couldn't catch his breath.
After checking by the team doctor, Areola was fine, but it is best to take a rest, otherwise he will still be easily distracted for a while.
Jarrad warmed up quickly and came on to replace Areola.
And Versage also came on to replace Nagy, who had just come on.
After Versage came up, he swapped positions with Lahm. Versage played as a defensive midfielder and Lahm played as a central defender.
Najib looked confused and in disbelief when he was substituted.
So much so that he remained indifferent to Suotu's meaningful gesture and refused to give Suotu a high-five.
Sotu ignored Najib.
But this time it was captured by the media.
Basically, this is the first time something like this has happened in Sanremo.
Even Beqirqi had never expressed his dissatisfaction in front of Sotu in such an exaggerated way.
This may be... the difference between one's own children and other people's children.
No matter how much their parents make trouble outside, their children are not afraid of them, and they often even get into temper tantrums with them.
Because it is difficult for parents to use their violent methods on their own children.
Children will also rely on this, and once they reach the rebellious stage, the problem will become more serious.
Nagy is a child of Sanremo, has the full support of Sanremo fans and has brought so much happiness to everyone. He has never felt the anger of Sotu for once.
Nagy, however, did not realize the seriousness of the problem. After staying on the bench for a while, he directly entered the tunnel and went to the locker room.
Lu Yang raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.
Eighty-fourth minute of the game.
Fernandez, who played the entire game today, made a through ball and passed a good ball.
But unfortunately, the forward Lu Yang started a little slowly, and the football was finally confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.
Lu Yang slipped and fell in the small penalty area and did not get up in a hurry.
tired.
It doesn't hurt to lie down for a while.
It’s the last few minutes anyway.
But Pisa doesn’t think so.
The Pisa goalkeeper shouted for his teammates to move.
They were two to one, with five or six minutes left in the game, and they had all the time to fight.
Sanremo has space on the right, and Pisa can pose a threat.
So the Pisa players quickly moved into position.
At this time, Lu Yang had already secretly gotten up.
The Pisa goalkeeper looked sideways.
Lu Yang took a small step and hid in the blind spot of the Pisa goalkeeper.
The focused Pisa goalkeeper threw the football to the ground at this time, preparing to make a long pass.
But the next moment, a blue and white figure jumped out from behind him and stabbed the football away.
boom!
Lu Yang carried the Pisa goalkeeper, turned and volleyed!
The football flew straight into the empty goal!
Sanremo scored another goal and led 3-1!
Such a dramatic loss of the ball completely shattered the spirits of the Pisa players.
The Pisa goalkeeper sat on the ground with his face hidden, hoping that this nightmare would end soon.
