"Goal! Lu Yang scored! He scored a wonderful elevator free kick at the last moment! Helping the team beat Ascoli three to one!"

"A new record has appeared! In eleven league games, Lu Yang scored 20 goals! He set the record for the fastest 20 goals in Serie B!"

"In the last game, Moric had ten assists in ten league games, and he just set a new record for the fastest ten goals in Serie B. Now Lu Yang has also set a record! Sanremo is really a record crusher!"

"Kanyes has been completely activated by the right back position. So far he has achieved good data of one goal and five assists. He has the strong assist ability that the right back of the Italian national team currently lacks!"

"Italy is good at playing a three-back formation. It started playing a four-back formation a year ago at Vincent's insistence, but both Prasedes and Bernulini are very good at the three-back formation, so Vincent You can definitely bring Kanyes and give it a try.”

"Yes! Kanyes' defensive problems can be well compensated for in the Italian national team, but his assist ability is irreplaceable!"

"Similarly, Moric is also a very good midfielder. His assist ability is too strong, and he also has a chemical reaction with Lu Yang. If you lead Lu Yang without Moric, you have no instructions!"

"Bernoulini also scored with a header in this game. This is definitely a very good omen!"

"As the fourth captain of the Italian national team, does Bernoulini's goal indicate that Italy can score in the next European Cup play-offs?"

"Finally, Lu Yang's current state is really hot. He has only failed to score a goal in one game this season. This kind of feeling is really reassuring."

"The Italian national team with Lu Yang will definitely achieve new breakthroughs!"

The eleventh round of Serie B matches is all over.

Sanremo won again and remained at the top of the standings, with the gap between second and third place starting to widen.

The league is as stable as a dog, and we are talking about Sanremo.

Two days later, Vincent announced the twenty-three-man squad for the current national team.

Among them, Lu Yang and Moliqi are among them!

Kanyes' previous popularity was okay, but in the end he failed to make the European Cup play-off list this time.

Kolber missed the opportunity due to injuries.

In fact, Moric's position may have belonged to Kolber.

After the list was announced this time, the response throughout Italy was good.

Without looking at the results, you would even think that what Vincent announced was the news of Italy's promotion to the play-offs.

This is hard to understand.

But in fact, this fully reflects the seriousness of the selection problem of the Italian national team.

Although as the coach of the national team, you cannot choose people based on online news, Tieba, Qiqihuidi, Hupu, etc.

But if you are criticized a lot every time you select someone, it means there is indeed something wrong with your selection.

Lu Yang falls into this category.

Maybe it doesn't matter if you don't take Lu Yang before the European Youth Championship.

At that time, Lu Yang was promoted exceptionally.

But Lu Yang, who led Italy to break the championship drought, has not been selected for the national team after the European Youth Championship. That is because there is a selection problem.

Two call-ups and four games, but Lu Yang was not brought once.

It just doesn't make sense.

And now, finally... it's dawn!

In this regard, all walks of life in Italy expressed their celebration and optimism.

Audi, captain of the Italian team, Italian goalkeeper and one of the world's best goalkeepers, publicly stated: "We welcome the two new faces this time and hope they can bring something different to the national team."

"We need new blood!"

"You mean Lu? I know him, I know him very well. He made me miss an Italian Super Cup in my book of honors!"

"Someone in my ears always said that this kid's shot is powerless. Amelucci told me countless times that even I can't block his shot! So I always wanted to try it myself!"

Prasedes, vice-captain of Italy, meritorious captain of AC Milan, and a strong candidate for the world's number one left back: "We are still friends regardless of Lu Yang! Of course, this is just a joke!"

"If Lu Yang is your opponent, believe me, you will be in pain...Okay guys, stop laughing. We were overturned 3-0 in two consecutive games last year. This is a pain for all AC Milan people."

"We will definitely return this defeat! Whether it is Liverpool or Sanremo!"

"But now, please allow me to welcome Lu's joining."

"No one can refuse such a teammate if you have played with him. I hope he can bring the pain he brought to me to his opponent this time, the Swedish team!"

Sweden!

Italy's opponent in the play-offs is surprisingly the Swedish team, which is neither strong nor weak.

The Swedish team is weak because they rarely have impressive results in major competitions.

But the Swedish team is strong because they always have some strong stars in the team.

One piece of news that is good for the Italian team is that there are no superstars in this Swedish team.

But the bad news is that in a friendly match this year, Italy played against Ruidian and lost 1-2.

Bernoulini: "Lu is finally here! Believe me, he can do anything on the football field, what you think of, and what you can't imagine."

Bernoulini's speech made people laugh and cry.

Because Bernoulini, as the fourth captain of the Italian team, called Lu Yang "Team Lu".

This obviously refers to the Army of Sanremo.

Only if you have a good relationship would you joke like this.

Because this even feels like flattering Lu Yang.

Of course, Bernoulini will not praise Lu Yang, he will help Lu Yang integrate into the game well.

Amelucci, the second goalkeeper of the Italian team: "I don't believe that Italy can't score this time, because we have found a young man who is currently the best goal scorer in Italy!"

Roma captain Perrotta: "The last time Lu and I met was when we were at Star Italia. Since then, Manero told me that Lu is a player with a big heart."

"And my Roma was indeed blocked from the Coppa Italia final by him last season. We could have had one more Coppa Italia!"

"Now, Lu, it's time to test whether you are truly a big-hearted player. For many people, the next two games may be the two most important games!"

Derecki, the third captain of the Italian team and vice president of the Roma team: "Here he comes, he is here! This kid is very tough, I bet he can score! I am willing to bet all my wealth! For Italy!"

These are the big guys in Serie A.

Their statements also showed the Italian team's welcome to Lu Yang.

And Mo Qiqi next to Lu Yang seemed to have become a little transparent.

Looking at these news, Moliqi was really pissed off.

Hearing this, Tia slapped her back?

Why the hell are you going to curse again?

Only then did Molic remember that he was no longer single.

well.

I think back then, Lu Gou was just an addition to me, Moliqi.

Unexpectedly, now, the bosses only have eyes for Lu Gou.

See you soon, see you soon!

Don’t you think that Lu Gou’s goals were all fed by me, Moliqi?

Having eyes does not recognize gold inlaid with jade.

Worship Guan Gong in the Bodhisattva Temple!

Look, real bosses won’t argue with you.

When Benmo shows off his power in the play-offs and provides frequent assists, you will know who is the only true god of the Italian team in the future!



The day after the roster was announced.

Lu Yang and Moliqi appeared at the entrance of the national team training base.

Three days later, they had a league game.

But none of that matters now.

The Sanremo brothers patted their chests one by one to reassure Lu Yang and Moric that they would definitely stabilize the league situation in the few days when the first and second boss are away.

Moliqi is deeply pleased with this.

It turns out that the brothers also know that I am the boss of Sanremo. As expected, the eyes of the people are sharp.

Until Bernoulini came to greet Lu Yang and Moliqi and took out his mobile phone: "Hey, Najib, yes, Lu Yang and the others are already here. Don't worry, I, the second boss, will take good care of him, the saint." Remo is the boss!"

Moric died.

On the training ground, the Italian team's training has begun.

Everyone is comfortable, the coach has not changed, and everyone knows what to do.

Warm up first and then practice some simple basic team offensive routines.

The rest depends on the individual performance of the players.

Most of the players who can come to the national team are extremely capable.

Confining them too much will be detrimental to their performance.

This is Vincent’s request for everyone at this stage.

The reason why it is said to be at this stage is because these players are actually very familiar with Vincent's tactical system.

In their early days, they also received a lot of tactical indoctrination from Vincent, and had a relatively difficult acceptance process.

This is actually because Vincent's national team is not very welcoming to newcomers.

Because the previous players were all mature, Vincent really didn't have the patience to wait for the newcomers to become familiar with the team's tactical system.

How long will this have to wait?

He doesn't have that skill.

Therefore, when Lu Yang and Moric played on the court for a while, they felt something was wrong.

They made many mistakes in cooperating with others.

So much so that Lu Yang and Moliqi haven't felt this way for a long time.

It’s so uncomfortable.

But the two of them didn't take it seriously.

This is the only way to get along.

In fact, with Lu Yang's super vision, and Moric's solid basic skills and midfield talent, the two of them can completely reduce mistakes!

Just send it back.

You can never go wrong with a postback.

But... this doesn't fit in with Lu Yang and Moric's playing philosophy.

And it is harmful rather than beneficial to the Italian team.

It's just about benefiting yourself at the expense of others.

Brother Lu can't do this.

"Stop!"

Vincent angrily stopped the training match on the sidelines, and then replaced Lu Yang and Moliqi.

The two of them looked puzzled.

Damn it!

How long did it take for us to be replaced?

I finally have a feeling. What do you mean by doing this?

Only to make people look bad and not to clear their name?

On the other side, Manero, who had seldom spoken before, spoke next to Vincent: "Lu Yang and Moliqi seem to have made a lot of mistakes, but in fact they are all trying to move forward."

"It's really difficult to do this kind of offensive coordination with unfamiliar players."

"But their intentions are good. Once they establish a consensus with the current players to move forward, we can immediately make a big difference on the offensive end."

"We should give them more time to integrate into the team."

Normal players who want to integrate into the team actually have to take their time.

Passing the ball to each other, small coordination, team tactical coordination, etc.

But who are Lu Yang and Molic?

Wise man!

They know that they don't have that much time to develop this tacit understanding with their teammates.

Because they are "mobile personnel".

Even Lu Yang's selection this time was due to the pressure of public opinion and Lu Yang's performance in the European Youth Championship and the highlights of the league.

Not to mention "backdoor players" like Moric who came in while Kolber was injured.

What's more... Kolber himself is also a "mobile operator", similar to Lu Yang.

Moreover, Lu Yang and Moric also knew that they, who had just been selected for the national team, encountered another significant play-off.

Not to mention starting, if you have the opportunity to come on as a substitute, you are lucky.

What do fans want from a player who plays at a time like that?

What does the head coach ask for?

It's you who make an immediate contribution to the team!

At this time, you can reduce touching the ball and reduce unnecessary cooperation and passing with teammates.

But you must be able to make very obvious changes to the team's offense.

So just now Lu Yang and Moric were on the court, constantly making threatening passes with Perrotta, Ancarelli, offensive midfielders, left back Prasedes and others.

Ancarelli has just recovered from a minor illness and is reluctant to do strenuous sprints.

However, although the shadow forward position he plays does not require him to rush all the time, it does require him to suddenly break out at some point.

So if he holds back his kick, the effect will naturally be bad.

There are many problems with Lu Yang and Moric's cooperation with him that should be Ancarelli's fault.

But in Vincent's opinion, this is the rumor between Lu Yang and Moliqi!

Ancarelli is not weak in dribbling. If you pass the ball to his feet, he will twist around and create any opportunities.

Why do you have to think about passing through balls and over the top?

The assists of the national team are not as simple as yours in Serie B.

Also, Perrotta is a 1.93 meter tall center who is a super pivot.

He is very good at catching the ball, but at this time, it is very demanding for Moric and Lu Yang to penetrate forward.

Moric and Lu Yang have just arrived. As a midfielder, do you think it's a little too much to rush forward so recklessly?

Therefore, there were a few mistakes. It was their problem, but it was understandable.

The same goes for the cooperation with Praxedes and so on.

Therefore, although there are many problems, they can actually be solved after careful communication and adjustment.

As long as the offensive problem is solved, Lu Yang and Moric will have a chance to play.

But Vincent obviously didn't intend to give them such an opportunity.

"Do you think I can give them a lot of time to adapt?" Vincent asked Manero.

"Otherwise? Then why did you recruit them?" Manero said, "These old members of the national team, even if they don't train, are still capable of fighting. What do they need to train for?"

"While maintaining their form, let's see if Lu Yang and Moric can bring some new changes. This is the meaning of this training period!"

Vincent's eyes narrowed: "But during this period, I want to try a new combination. Derek's condition has declined significantly recently, and I want to try Candreva as a defensive midfielder."

Derecki, Roma defensive midfielder and Italy's main midfielder, is almost 33 years old this year.

Delecchi's performance in Italy's last qualifying match was not good.

Dino Candreva, the core attacking midfielder of Udinese, a mid-to-lower Serie A team, is 28 years old. He played multiple positions when he was young. He was a versatile midfielder and played as a substitute midfielder in Italy.

Midfielder?

Candreva?

this……

Do you really think everyone is Manero?

Can everyone play as an attacking midfielder or as a defensive midfielder?

Didn't you see that the excellent Moric played from the defensive midfielder back to the attacking midfielder?

Manero's face was speechless.

The pioneer and master of the post-playing core position is right in front of you, and you told me that you want Candreva to play as a defensive midfielder?

Even if you say you don’t understand football, most people really don’t dare to use the attacking midfielder to play as the defensive midfielder. That’s something only a world-famous coach like Guardiola dares to do.

But if you say you know football, don't you know that I, Manero, have the most say in this matter?

"Candreva can't play as a defensive midfielder. When he plays as a midfielder or attacking midfielder, he is not a cerebral player." Manero said.

"Oh? But I am very optimistic that he will become the brain of the new generation of Italy!" Vincent said, "In the past two seasons, he has performed very well in Udinese!"

Manero's thousands of words converged into one MMP.

Let me tell you a Jaguar!

In this way, Lu Yang and Moric's first national team training did not go well.

The two of them didn't even participate in team training most of the time.

Gives the impression of a special dish from both of them.

Don't tell me, maybe someone in the team really feels that way.

After all, Lu Yang and Moliqi are not Euros, and they cannot be liked by everyone.

The national team also has intra-team competition.



November 17th.

The twelfth round of Serie B, Sanremo VS Empoli.

Sanremo, which lacked Lu Yang, Moric, and Bernoulini, seemed to be missing its soul and was overwhelmed by the opponent in the first half.

If you want to say that Sanremo's players are not good enough, this is also wrong. Sanremo's players in all positions are almost at the top level in Serie B.

But without the core and deputy core, no team can move in a short period of time.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Empoli was so excited that they actually made a wonderful combination, penetrated Sanremo's defense and scored a goal.

Sotu didn't say much on the sidelines.

There is no way, this is the consequence of missing Moliqi and Lu Yang.

Yes, it has nothing to do with Bernoulini.

With Moric, he will not give the opponent the opportunity to penetrate the midfield with multiple passes.

With Lu Yang, he will return to the penalty area in advance after many passes from the opponent.

They all have the ability to prevent this goal from happening.

But luckily.

The bus was set up after the opponent scored a goal.

It seems that Empoli also knows that being able to steal three points from Sanremo, the first team in Serie B, is already very impressive. They have no intention of scoring more goals.

In the 80th minute, Kanyes tried to create some opportunities.

But after he went down, he found that he didn't have a good chance. There were too many people on the opponent's defense, making it difficult to pass the ball.

Kanyes cut inside the baseline and tried to get into the penalty area for a try, but was intercepted by the opponent.

Empoli immediately launched a counterattack.

They attacked quickly because they realized that this was their chance to beat Sanremo with two goals.

boom!

At the critical moment, Ram came out of the blue and completed the steal cleanly with a sliding tackle.

Ram kicked the football out immediately.

Counter your counterattack!

The fast horse Bayizami played the whole game this time. He has the ability to fight in the whole game. In the past, he was always substituted for protective use.

Bayizami was extremely fast. After receiving the ball, he ate up the opponent's two central defenders and finally scored a single goal.

This is a 1V3 single-handed goal, which is very exciting.

In the end, Sanremo shook hands with Empoli one to one.

Ended six consecutive league wins.

Bayizami also overtook Soger for the first time and became the team's second leading scorer!

After this game, many media believed that Sanremo was overrated.

Empoli is not a strong team, but Sanremo equalized at the last moment.

Everyone thinks that in a situation like Sanremo's, the team will probably fall apart in the second half of the season.

Some experts even stood up and criticized the players involved in Sanremo's game.

But in fact, the truth has already been said. If you let these players run in for a season or two, they will also be a strong team in Serie B at this level.

Sanremo's poor performance in this game was purely due to the lack of two core players.

Without Messi, wouldn’t it be difficult for Barcelona to win?

Four days later, November 21st.

The European Cup play-offs have kicked off, and the brutal competition for the last four spots in the European Cup has begun.

The first leg of the match was played at the Swedish team's home court.

For the Italian team, Vincent put together a classic lineup.

433, or 4123.

This 1 is the defensive midfielder and 2 is the double midfielder, not Sanremo's double attacking midfielder.

As expected, Lu Yang and Moric failed to start and sat on the bench.

But being selected for the 18-man roster is already a very positive signal in the eyes of many fans.

If nothing else, they should be able to get some opportunities.

However, there is also something "eye-catching" about the Italian team in this game.

That is, they replaced Derecki with substitute midfielder Candreva, who played in the attacking midfielder position at the club, and appeared in the defensive midfielder position.

No one could have imagined this twist.

Many commentators were stunned.

This...It is difficult for Italy to score goals and there is a problem with the offense, so you removed a defensive midfielder and replaced it with an offensive player.

If football offense and defense were that simple, everyone would be a master!

Do you underestimate the word chemical reaction too much?

Do you think too highly of Candreva?

At the beginning of the game, Candreva made a mistake and was directly penetrated by the opponent.

If Bernoulini and goalkeeper Audi hadn't been focused enough, they might have just conceded a goal.

But thirty minutes later, the Italian team still could not escape.

The Swedish team's midfielder kicked a long-range magic kick.

The world wave breaks through!

Audi is beyond reach.

Zero to one, Italy did not escape after all!

And this time behind, it will be really difficult for Italy to play!

I was already weak in scoring goals, but now I have to break the opponent's bus and prevent the opponent's counterattack.

Victory is really slim!
