"Oh! What happened?"
"It's the Italian bench! Derekchi and Vincent seem to be arguing about something!"
"We know that there were rumors of discord in the Italian team before the game. It is said that there were some verbal conflicts between the players and the coaching staff. But..."
"But now we are in a competition!"
"Drecchi, as one of the captains of the Italian team, performed diligently. He was not a person who took advantage of his privileges. Even when Vincent took him over other players, Drecchi never complained."
"The noise got louder and there were players coming over, but they didn't pull the two apart."
"Drecchi was saying something, and his words seemed to have infected the Italian team players. Members of the coaching staff were stopped by the Italian team players. The matter did not expand further, but the conversation between the two continued."
"Drake's voice was so loud, we could already hear what he was roaring!"
Derek's angry voice came from the TV.
"I'm going up? Why should I go up? Why should I go up?"
"Do you think I can score for Italy? What on earth are you thinking?"
"Victory! All we want now is victory, do you understand?"
"Italy needs to attack, not defend!"
"He's the one who should play!"
"The top scorer in Serie B! Sixty goals in the whole season! Double Golden Boot in the Italian Cup and European Youth Championship!"
"He, Lu! Let Lu play! Let him play football!"
"If there is anyone who can save Italy, I believe that person is Lu!"
Derek was hysterical, and the fourth referee was confused by the situation.
Should this...should we intervene?
This seems to be the Italian team’s own business?
And... no physical conflict broke out.
To be fair, the referee shouldn't care.
But...this scene is a bit worrying.
Will Derecki suddenly go berserk, take action to punish Vincent, and do what every Italian wants to do?
Vincent turned pale.
He had never experienced anything like this.
This was a life-and-death battle for Italy. Under the watchful eyes of fans all over Italy and even Europe, his replacement as head coach was not only directly rejected by the person being replaced, but he was even scolded and coached by the other party.
Is he still the head coach of this team?
Do these players still want to play football?
There is no doubt that any player who goes against the wishes of the head coach will only have a narrower path in the future, with few exceptions.
This kind of violation does not mean fighting with the head coach, etc., but refers to direct and public rebuttal.
For example, when Sarri was coaching at Chelsea, he wanted to replace goalkeeper Kepa but Kepa refused.
This matter can be said to be a lose-lose situation.
Sarri's reputation and prestige were ruined, and he could only leave the game sadly.
But similarly, Kepa was considered a thorny player within the industry because of this, and his value plummeted in the transfer market, leaving no one interested.
And Derek is now almost the same as Kepa.
It's just that Kepa is unwilling to end the game, which is somewhat understandable.
But Drakey is unwilling to play, which is even more rare.
This incident is destined to affect Derek, and even he will never be called up by the national team in the future once this incident comes out, but Derek still made such a relatively extreme choice.
Because he knew that this might be the last hope.
As for Vincent, after experiencing Derek's anger and rejection, it will be difficult for his future coaching career to improve, because he can no longer maintain even the most basic authority as a head coach.
This is the player's problem, but it is also Vincent's own problem.
What's more, he has never won any outstanding championship awards before. Unlike championship harvesters like Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, he can turn around and start over no matter how hard he suffers.
No matter what, substitutions must continue.
The referee will not give the Italian team much time.
If Pellegrini is injured, he must go off the field. If the Italian team doesn't make substitutions, then you will be in the top ten and eleven, and the Swedish team will not be happy.
At the critical moment, Manero, who had been silent in the coaching bench, came over. He asked Dereki to let go of his hand, and said to the fourth referee in front of Derekchi and Vincent: "We are sure, use Player No. 22, Lu Yang, replaces player No. 8, Pellegrini!"
The fourth referee looked at Vincent and found that Vincent did not shake his head.
So, the substitutions began.
Lu Yang, who had not yet warmed up, took over at the critical moment and appeared on the court dramatically.
The Italian fans cheered wildly at the scene and shouted Lu Yang's name together, as if the game had been won.
This is the home stadium of Italy. The capacity of the Italian stadium is also large, so the number of Italian fans here exceeds 50,000!
When 50,000 people chant the same name in unison, the shock is unimaginable to those who have not gone to watch the game.
Lu Yang!
Lu Yang!
Lu Yang!
The fans of the Swedish team were completely confused by this posture.
What does it mean?
Is the King of Superstars about to appear?
Does Italy have any other big weapons?
"It's that Lu! The player who just won the Puskas Award again!" Swedish fans who had done their homework began to explain the existence of this Lu.
In fact, at about the same time in the last game, the Italian fans' expeditionary army was also calling this name.
But in the end, Vincent insisted on being deaf, fought despite being ill, and was physically disabled but strong-willed, which is respectable.
"Is he strong?"
"He is currently the top scorer in Serie B, but he usually plays as a midfielder. Many people say that he is a bit like England's Gerondo, a player who won the Golden Boot in the midfield position."
"Hey! Serie B? Talk about wool! The stars of Serie A are being pushed to the ground and rubbed by us Sweden, okay!"
"Yeah, so these Italians are confusing."
"And you know the funniest thing? This Lu is a Chinese!"
"What's so funny about this? Developed countries in Europe already have a lot of foreign immigrants."
"The funny thing is that after the European Youth Championship team won the championship, they waved the flags of Italy on one side and China on the other."
"Watt? Did I hear you correctly? What did he mean? Isn't he afraid of being abandoned by Italy?"
"This is what I want to say. He suffered a certain degree of public criticism at the time, and even some Chinese people did not understand his actions. But... after Italy lost the European Cup play-offs this time, some Italian fans publicly stated, If Lu can play and score goals for Italy, they will never object to the colors of the flag waved by Lu Yang again."
"Hahaha! These Italians are really awesome. Are they so undignified?"
Swedish fans laughed at some of the previous comments made by Italian fans.
But an Italian fan next to him countered: "Really? If you can't enter the European Cup or World Cup, and there is a player who can help you achieve your goals, he will also be willing to fight for you, but at the same time he still loves his homeland. How would you choose?"
"Can you give up his support?"
"Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with his behavior. Even if I go to a big city, I will never forget the small rural village where I was raised. Besides, China is better than Italy in every aspect."
The Swedish fans couldn't understand it at all and sneered: "So, you think this guy came to Italy from China to play football to help the poor? Hahaha! This is the best joke I've heard this year!"
The Italian fan was not offended and he took off his Italy national team jersey to reveal the Sanremo jersey underneath.
Obviously, this is a Sanremo fan, so anything he says becomes legitimate, especially something that is unlikely to happen.
Because in the past two and a half years, everything that happened in Sanremo was impossible!
The fan said: "Okay, then I hope that after the Swedish team misses this European Cup, you will not envy Italy for having such a continent!"
"Lu Yang, come on!"
"Lu Yang, rise up!"
"Lu Yang, you're awesome!"
The fan started shouting because Lu Yang on the field had already caught the football.
…
boom!
After Lu Yang came on, he appeared in the left midfield position, replacing Pellegrini.
Candreva in the middle has moved from the defensive midfielder position to the midfielder position, so his performance is not so disastrous.
Lu Yang knew that his biggest task was to attack, so he was not in a hurry to change positions with Candreva, and went to the middle ready to become a defensive midfielder at any time.
Candreva plays the ball to Lu Yang.
This is Lu Yang’s first appearance on behalf of the Italian national team.
After receiving the ball, he swung his tail beautifully, passed the defender in front of him, and then rushed forward with the ball.
This action is very beautiful and makes all Italian fans shine.
This feeling is...a shock that has long been extinct in Italy?
That’s right!
impact!
In the past, Italy had wonderful defense, organization and goals.
But what they lack most is players who can attack the opponent's defense head-on.
This kind of impact may have a high probability of failure.
But at the same time, this is also a drain on the opponent's defensive players.
No matter how many times he guards you, the next time, everyone will be 50-50.
In terms of probability, neither his successful defense nor your failed breakthrough will affect the success probability of your next breakthrough.
This kind of mental exhaustion is invisible to the naked eye, but it is real on the court.
Once the opponent's mental state is not good, even a random pass from you will tear apart the opponent's defense and make the opponent's defense fall short.
But in the past, Italian football was too mature and complete, so it inhibited the birth of impact players.
The short-sightedness of the national team has aggravated the situation.
Therefore, Lu Yang only touched the ball for the first time, and many Italian fans had already reached the peak of their emotions.
This kick of the cow's tail made them see the light!
More than ten seconds later.
"Alas!" the commentator sighed, "This was a wonderful breakthrough. Lu Yang showed great power with his first touch of the ball. But he and Perrotta still lacked a tacit understanding. Lu Yang passed the two of them and defeated them. The football was passed to Ancarelli.”
"Ancarelli gave the ball to Perrotta immediately. Although these two people have rumors of disagreement, they are both very professional. In official games, they will never do anything detrimental to Italy."
"Perrotta held the ball and watched for a moment, then sent the ball behind the Swedish defense with a through ball. It was a very beautiful through ball!"
"Lu Yang had already started. He appeared behind the Swedish central defender and kicked the ball. The ball passed the Swedish goalkeeper's fingers!"
"The Swedish team's defensive players focused all their attention on Ancarelli. They didn't expect that a midfielder would resolutely penetrate their penalty area!"
"But it is a pity that Perrotta wasted some time waiting and watching, which resulted in Lu Yang being offside when he released the ball. Therefore, the goal was invalid and was blown off by the referee."
"The Italian fans are excited for nothing! Italian players are also complaining. They think it is a good goal."
"But through slow playback we can see that Lu Yang was indeed offside. Although not much, it was an offside kick."
"But although it is a pity, from this ball we can also see the difference between Lu Yang and traditional Italian midfielders. He is very aggressive, he is very bold, he is the X factor of Italy!"
"I hope he can score goals for Italy next!"
Of course, some are bullish and some are bearish.
Some commentators also said: "Lu Yang missed his best scoring opportunity in the game. He just came on the field and was not easily noticed, so he stole an opportunity."
"But then, the Swedish defensive players will not give him such a chance again!"
"The presence of Ancarelli and Perrotta diverted most of the attention of the Swedish team's defensive players, but after that, Lu Yang will also enter their defensive vision."
Both statements have certain truths. They are purely the difference in thinking modes between optimistic idealism and pessimistic realism.
In the next few minutes, Lu Yang continued to perform brilliantly.
He got the ball in midfield and faced two opposing players.
Normal people would reply, and Lu Yang did exactly that.
Even Candreva was ready to catch the ball.
However, Lu Yang quickly adjusted the direction with a V-shaped pull of the ball, then caught the fried meatball and passed between the two defenders.
Advance with the ball from the middle!
Unfortunately, at the end of this attack, Perrotta was surrounded by the opponent and Ancarelli failed to intervene in time. In the end, the threat was lost. Ancarelli's long shot turned into a goal kick. .
After this attack, Lu Yang found Perrotta and exchanged a few words with him.
Lu Yang: "Perrotta, you don't need to pay special attention to my movement. If you sometimes see an opportunity and hope someone can hit the wall with you, I will cooperate with you."
"I'm very determined in my insertion, and my physical strength is enough for me to run all over the court, so if you want to pass the ball to me, you can give me more lead time, or kick the ball out."
Lu Yang and Perrotta were talking about the last pass.
If Perrotta didn't pass the ball to Lu Yang right away, Lu Yang would easily have been offside.
The fulcrum center's caution is necessary, but if he knows that there is someone who will always step in when he retreats, he will know better how to handle the football at his feet.
Perrotta nodded.
In any case, Lu Yang's words made him feel very comfortable.
Lu Yang didn't ask Perrotta to do anything. Instead, he tried his best to look at Perrotta's perspective.
This sounds a hundred times better than simply saying, "After you catch the ball, go straight and don't miss the opportunity."
Similarly, Lu Yang went to find Ancarelli again.
Lu Yang: "Ancarelli, no matter if there is a chance or not, I will insist on pushing forward in every attack and pull away at least one defender for you."
"I will also pay attention to your movement. As long as you have a chance, the football will definitely come to your feet!"
Look, how nice it sounds.
Ancarelli nodded and smiled.
This is the little helper he needs most.
Does Ancarelli have this thing about impact?
have!
But not much!
Even if Ancarelli, who is in his thirties, can still run, he cannot sprint many times. He is old after all.
At this time, he not only needs a fulcrum center to help him pull, he also needs a player who is good at forward penetration to help him push out.
Under this double pull, Ancarelli can maximize his shadow edge ability.
Although Lu Yang and Ancarelli do not have a tacit understanding, if Lu Yang is willing to step forward every opportunity, Ancarelli will be able to find good opportunities.
The only hard work was for Lu Yang. Sometimes the team would advance forward but not necessarily attack with the flow, which wasted his physical strength and offensive enthusiasm.
But when it comes to physical strength, other players don't have much, but Lu Yang has a lot!
And the offensive enthusiasm... Lu Yang is very enthusiastic now.
Because this is his Italian national team debut.
Becoming famous with one goal is always the most inspiring script for young players.
In this game, Lu Yang will never admit defeat!
…
The 77th minute of the game.
Sweden received a corner kick.
Lu Yang was naturally prepared to enter the penalty area and participate in the battle for the top.
But he noticed that there were two players in the opponent's corner kick area.
There is also a Swedish player in the front and outside of the Italian penalty area.
Because they are far away from the core threat position, there are no close defenders around them.
If the Swedish team intends to take a tactical corner kick with this goal, then...
Thinking of this, Lu Yang rushed out and went straight to the corner flag area.
"What are you doing?"
"go back!"
"Get back!"
"Defend the person you're supposed to defend, damn it!"
Vincent cursed in the coaching area. This was not his defensive strategy for corner kicks.
Lu Yang didn't obey his tactical arrangements at all.
Including Lu Yang's unlimited forward penetration before, Vincent was not happy to see it.
Indeed, this makes Italy's forwards more threatening to a certain extent.
But this also left Italy's midfield with defensive holes.
Vincent didn't pay attention to Lu Yang's ability to always return to his defensive position in time. He only looked at what he wanted to see.
boom!
In the corner kick area, the Swedish team took a corner kick.
Sure enough, it was a tactical free kick.
Lu Yang immediately pounced on the corner kicker.
But the opponent gently knocked the football to the side.
Another Swedish player crossed the ball.
As we all know, after a corner kick is taken, there will be a wave of blocking and a battle for the top in the penalty area.
However, if the tactical corner kick is overdue for a second or two, the first wave of players who are stuck and fighting for the top will actually miss the best opportunities and opportunities.
At this time, the players in the back row to grab points will have a great advantage.
A player outside the penalty area arranged by the Swedish team launched an impact into the penalty area at this time, and after preparing to jump in, he attacked the goal.
However……
boom!
boom!
Lu Yang made a defensive fake move.
It seemed that he pounced on the corner kick taker, but midway, he changed direction early and pounced on the corner kick receiver.
Therefore, when the opponent sent a cross, Lu Yang happened to appear on the path of the ball.
Lu Yang stretched out his right foot and touched the football in less than 0.5 seconds after the opponent passed the ball.
The football flew high and rolled down the wing towards the midfield.
Lu Yang didn't hesitate and ran over to the football.
The two Swedish players who took the corner kick also reacted.
This is an Italian counterattack!
The opponent immediately pulled Lu Yang, but it was just a hair’s breadth away from Lu Yang’s jersey.
"Oh! Lu Yang completed a wonderful gambling defense! He anticipated the opponent's penalty kick and completed a wonderful interception."
"Now the football is flying towards the midfield. Lu Yang is very fast and he has the opportunity to touch the ball first."
"Swedish players tried to pull Lu Yang away, but there was no chance. Lu Yang was too fast!"
"You can't tell at all. There is an entry on Lu Yang's profile that says he is good at defense, but there is never a comment about being fast. I think it's time for all the major scouts to update the information cards that belong to Lu Yang in your hands."
"It was too late for the Swedish center back to retreat. His speed put him at a disadvantage when returning to defense, so he did not retreat but rushed towards the football."
"Lu Yang, speed up! Go faster and faster!"
"Lu Yang is the first to touch the football! Be careful!"
"The Swedish center back came in front of Lu Yang and made a sliding tackle!"
"Beautiful pass! Lu Yang and the football leap over the Swedish center back!"
Boom!
The scene broke out into very enthusiastic cheers.
Italian fans were excited.
Lu Yang actually avoided the opponent's tackle and continued to control the football!
This is incredible!
In the entire Swedish half, apart from the goalkeeper, there was also a right back in front of Lu Yang on the right.
The road ahead of Lu Yang was almost flat!
Lu Yang glanced at the opponent and kept dribbling the ball on the wing.
Counterattack vanguard!
Fast horse on the side!
Kaka's stride!
Lu Yang's speed exploded!
He is like a supercar, unable to stop at all!
The Swedish right back saw something was wrong and had no choice but to move closer to Lu Yang.
He slammed towards Lu Yang and had a violent physical collision with Lu Yang.
Can Lu Yang beat the opponent?
He may not lose!
But if he really collides violently with the opponent, it will be difficult for him to maintain control of the football and maintain this high-speed advancement.
So Lu Yang made a choice.
He kicked the football forward suddenly.
At the same time, Lu Yang was knocked out of the sideline by the opponent.
The cheers of the Italian fans stopped abruptly.
Instead, the Swedish fans celebrated with a vengeance.
But the next moment, everyone's voices disappeared.
It was like my throat was being strangled by the hand of fate.
Bell's outside overtaking, start!
"Oh my god! It's incredible! Lu Yang was running fast outside the sideline, and he didn't stop!"
"Exceeded, really exceeded! Lu Yang is surpassing the Swedish right back!"
"It's passed! Lu Yang overtook from the outside! He actually passed the Swedish right back!"
"Cut inside! Lu Yang was the first to touch the football. His intention is very firm. He wants to cut inside!"
"It's completely over! Lu Yang made a big arc, but in the end he ran in front of the Swedish right back!"
"Between two points, Lu Yang is the shortest!"
"Lu Yang breaks into the restricted area with a single sword!"
"The Swedish goalkeeper stood at the door. He blocked most of Lu Yang's shooting angles with his body. He was very calm, he..."
boom!
Lu Yang shot furiously!
The Swedish goalkeeper's foot touched the ball, but it did not affect the ball entering the net.
One to one!
Italy equalized the score!
The young player Lu Yang, who played for less than ten minutes, shot twice and scored two goals. One was called for offside, and the other was undisputed!
At this moment, Italian fans finally saw the light they needed!
Lu Yang, YYDS!
