"Don't call him Lu Yang, please call him Lu Kuangsan!" 》
"Speed!" The most awesome scoring performance in the five major leagues! 》
"Feet feel hot!" When to cool? 》
"Serie A goal record, are you trembling?" 》
"Lu Yang's only weakness is the Champions League? The last time he didn't score was the last time! 》
"The Champions League is coming!" Sporting Lisbon faces the battle for the top spot in the group! 》
"Champions League preview, Sporting Lisbon has a greater chance of winning, but Lu Yang's state will be the key to victory or defeat!" 》
"European Champions League soft-footed shrimp!" Lu Yang failed to score in the last round of the Champions League. What's the point of scoring more in the league? 》
Controversy over awards continues.
But the game that needs to be played must continue to be played.
The fifth round of the Champions League group stage kicked off against this background.
This round is Sporting Lisbon's away game against Sanremo.
Sevilla and Arsenal compete against each other.
The game between Sevilla and Arsenal will be earlier.
Sevilla is currently ranked fifth in La Liga, behind Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia.
But their performance in the Champions League is beyond comparison.
Basically, they were infinitely close to being eliminated.
As for Arsenal, their performance in the Champions League is also not stable enough.
But their league form is very good.
Last week, they faced Chelsea, the most promising team in the Premier League, and ended up winning the game with a 4-3 draw.
At this point, Arsenal has returned to the top four in the Premier League and has a strong momentum.
Chelsea, on the other hand, was the previous top spot in the Premier League.
This shows how powerful this Arsenal team is.
But in this round of the Champions League, Arsenal lost 0-1 to Sevilla, which shocked everyone.
In this way, both teams have 5 points.
Moreover, Sevilla, which was originally at the bottom, improved its ranking due to a record of one draw and one win against Arsenal, overtaking Arsenal to become third in the group.
Arsenal, the aristocrat of the Premier League, ended up at the bottom of the group.
In this way, let alone the Champions League, they didn't even play in the Europa League last year.
This is not a repeat of the past.
It’s really Wang Xiaoer’s New Year celebration, every year is worse than the last.
Arsenal fans felt a little confused emotionally for a moment.
They just beat the top of the league three days ago and were directly at the bottom of the Champions League group stage three days later.
Should they be happy or sad?
Should I say Arsenal are awesome or Arsenal are stupid?
The fans feel miserable.
Likewise, Mr. Winter himself was bitter.
Reform will cause pain.
The Arsenal of last year are different from the Arsenal of this year.
Last year's Arsenal team was more technically and tactically mature, but the players lost motivation, especially the young players. There were actually "four lazy guys" and became a joke in European football.
This year, Mr. Winter used thunderous means to improve the team's atmosphere.
At the same time, the techniques and tactics have been innovated based on the existing players, making the playing style more direct and efficient.
However, there are some shortcomings in terms of cooperation.
So so far, Arsenal's record has fluctuated greatly.
They can beat very strong teams, but they can also lose to very weak teams.
Especially the French striker Nerka who has returned to Arsenal. Sometimes he is amazing, sometimes he is awesome, and he has not yet stabilized.
The lower limit of a team is determined by the center.
The ceiling is determined by the wingers.
This statement makes sense to a certain extent.
It's not difficult to understand that Arsenal can't even stabilize their center's form, and their overall performance is a rollercoaster.
The points between Sevilla and Arsenal directly led to a direct promotion spot between Sanremo and Sporting Lisbon, which started later!
If this game ends in a draw, all four teams will theoretically have a chance to qualify in the final round.
But if someone wins this game, then the winner can be declared to qualify early!
If Sanremo wins, the points ranking will be 10, 7, 5, 5. Regardless of the last round, Sanremo will definitely qualify. It is just a matter of first or second in the group.
Sporting Lisbon's victory in this game has the same effect.
Therefore, the meaning of this game suddenly becomes different.
Both sides have the opportunity to seize their own destiny in advance.
…
"Okay, welcome everyone to watch today's Champions League match. I am your old friend Luo Cheng." Luo Cheng sat in the CCTV live broadcast room and smiled, "The person sitting next to me today is a face that you may not expect. He is...Guan Zeyuan!"
Applause rang out, and many domestic fans suddenly became interested.
"Is this the Guan Zeyuan who said something didn't work?"
"Aren't you working as a commentator in Serie A? Are you being invited back now?"
"CTV is awesome!"
"I'm optimistic about Guan Zeyuan's development in China, young man, come on!"
"To be honest, I hope he says something unpleasant in this game, and don't give me a thumbs up."
"That's what it means."
"It's the first time in history that he can be criticized for having four major games in a row. He's really awesome."
"Hello everyone, my name is Guan Zeyuan." Guan Zeyuan still understood everyone's positioning of him, and said clearly when he came up, "Actually, there are many points worth discussing in this game."
"Many media in Europe believe that Lu Yang did not score a goal in the last Champions League game, so he will not perform particularly well in this game. This statement sounds a bit bizarre, but it actually exists in a lot of football matches."
"Oh? So Guan Zeyuan, do you also think that Lu Yang's performance will not be good in this game?" Luo Cheng asked.
Guan Zeyuan nodded.
The next moment, domestic fans gave Guan Zeyuan warm applause.
Thank you for your good words.
In this game, my position should be stable!
In the player tunnel, Sotu was still making final mobilizations for the players.
Don't think that this game looks like it's going to be a fight for a spot in the line, as if the other team won't be in much trouble if they lose.
But in fact, this is a game from heaven to hell, especially for Sanremo.
Because...at present, whether it is Sevilla or Sporting Lisbon, the games against Arsenal are one draw and one win.
This means that when they have the same points as Arsenal, they will be ranked first.
But not Sanremo, whose record against Arsenal is at a disadvantage.
If the two score equally, Sanremo will be squeezed behind.
In the last game, Sanremo faces Arsenal, the pressure will be great.
If they lose this game and lose to Arsenal in the next game, then Sanremo will suddenly die.
At that time, it would be Arsenal teaming up with Sporting Lisbon, or Sevilla teaming up with Sporting Lisbon to be eliminated.
in turn.
For Sporting Lisbon, they lost this game.
They won't be too embarrassed when they face Sevilla in the last game.
If they are really caught up by Arsenal and Sevilla, they will still have an advantage if they have the same points.
So overall, the mentality of Sporting Lisbon's players today will definitely be better than that of Sanremo's players.
What?
You said Arsenal are at the bottom, so why should Sanremo worry about them in the last round?
Come on, that's Arsenal!
Arsenal just defeated Chelsea, the Premier League leader!
What's more, Sanremo lost to Arsenal in the first round?
If you can end the game in this round, don't delay it to the next round. This is the truth that Sotu's rich experience of being overturned in AC Milan told him.
Beep!
A whistle blows and the game officially begins.
Sanremo still has a traditional 433 formation.
There’s not much to say about the front and backcourt.
The midfielder uses a three-midfield combination of Kaint, Lahm and Moric.
This combination is extremely defensive, but slightly weaker offensively, which will test Moric's offensive organization.
Once Sanremo takes the lead, this lineup will give Sporting Lisbon a headache.
"In less than ten minutes after the opening, Aveiro already had three shots on goal. He was very active today."
"Oh, it's a pity. This is Lu Yang's fourth goal in this game, but he still didn't score."
"Beautiful, Moric made a through kick... Sporting Lisbon's goalkeeper stepped forward and resolved the crisis. Talista was addicted to fighting with the opponent's central defender, delaying the opportunity to advance."
"Aveiro's header... Oops, it went wide!"
"Baizami is very fast. Is he going to do it alone... A foul was committed by a Sporting Lisbon player. Bayizami was limping and his ankle was bleeding. Fortunately, it was just a flesh injury and it did not affect his future. Contest."
"Is this free kick taken by Lu Yang? No, it's Moric. The position of this ball is difficult to hit directly."
"Nagy's header went over the woodwork, it's a pity."
Throughout the first half, the two sides fought back and forth.
But there has been no goal.
Lu Yang tried it some time ago and found that the opponent valued him very much, so he reduced his holding of the ball and focused on pulling and assisting.
This is using his own threats to create a more relaxed playing environment for his teammates.
At the same time, it is also slowly numbing the attention of Sporting Lisbon players to him.
This may sound a bit false.
You are a player who has scored nine goals in two games. How can people let down their guard against you?
But in fact, in a real game, this is definitely possible.
Because the game itself is a game that constantly deviates from the pre-game layout.
Be it Messi or Ronaldo, once they fail to create enough threats for a long time, the players defending him will inevitably shift their focus towards others.
It is impossible to ensure high-intensity marking of the "useless Melo" for ninety minutes.
After all, most people’s attention spans can’t even cover a forty-minute math and Chinese class, let alone a forty-five or ninety-minute high-intensity physical education class?
In addition, the involvement of powerful players will definitely give teammates a good offensive space, allowing teammates to also exert a strong threat.
In turn, when teammates become more threatening, they will change direction to help them pull and create space for them.
Therefore, due to multiple reasons, it is impossible for the players to be watched to death no matter how much the head coach mentioned before the game.
And as the physical strength goes by, this becomes more and more obvious.
This is why those super players always break out at the end of the game.
This is not an accident, all of this is supported by thousands of theories, practiced by the best players, and the final result is reached.
If Sporting Lisbon dares to continue to mark Lu Yang like this, Talista and Bazami will definitely make them taste the bitter pill.
In the second half, Talista had two excellent opportunities to change the score.
But his footwork didn't seem to go well today.
In other words, Sanremo's shooting resources have been mainly tilted towards Lu Yang in recent times.
Talista's condition was inevitably affected and became a little colder.
Talista didn't complain, but if he wanted his shooting form to return, he would have to take a few more kicks.
You can't ask a player to score a goal with every kick.
boom!
After Talista's shot was saved, Sporting Lisbon immediately launched a counterattack.
They have a player who is very good at counter-attacking tactics.
boom!
Sporting Lisbon's midfielder grabbed the first shot and then drove the football forward again.
Aveiro, who had just won the Golden Boy Award, was soaring all the way. After receiving the ball, he cut inside and passed the busy Najib on the way.
Najib is too tall and has a high pace. Aveiro uses a crotch strap for this ball.
Najib knew that the football passed under his crotch, but he had no choice but to watch Aveiro.
Big men have their advantages and disadvantages.
Later, players such as Salah became obsessed with cutting in while running, because there were more and more big central defenders.
This greatly increases the success rate of crotch penetration during running, and once it passes, the opponent often can no longer keep up.
boom!
Aveiro entered the penalty area and hit the goal directly. He did not wait for Areola to attack. He was confident in his shooting skills.
Areola was about to start, but the football flew over. He was frozen in place for a moment, and he also watched the football enter the net.
The two Sanremo defense players paid attention one after another.
Aveiro successfully accepted it.
One to zero!
Aveiro opened the scoring and silenced the Miracle Stadium!
"Wow! As expected of this year's Golden Boy Award winner, Aveiro faced Sanremo and showed even more fiery touch than Lu Yang!"
"In comparison, the other golden boy Moric was a bit mediocre today. He could only send the football to Lu Yang's feet. It was not that there was a problem with his technique, but that there was a problem with his emotions."
"Moric hoped that Lu Yang could perform better to respond to what happened since the Ballon d'Or. The intention was good, but he ignored the reality that this would put more pressure on Lu Yang."
"And this approach is also harmful to Sanremo's overall offense. When Sanremo's engine goes awry, it will be difficult for the team's overall offense to improve."
What Luo Cheng said was very pertinent.
The full support of teammates may not always be a good thing.
What's more, Lu Yang has always been a second tactic that is beneficial to the team's tactics.
He is more accustomed to creating and stealing opportunities by himself, rather than the rest of the team creating opportunities for him.
Lu Yang is powerful because he can maintain efficient goals and assists without taking up team resources.
But when it really takes up a lot of team resources, his efficiency may not be as high as that of the world's top strikers and midfielders.
In recent times, his data can also reflect this.
For top strikers, if you add more shooting and goal data, you can see the overall trend. About five to seven shots can lead to a goal.
A first-class striker who can score one goal in about ten shots.
A top striker who is in great form can score a goal every two or three shots in a certain period of time.
For a long time in the past, Lu Yang was a forward who was in outstanding form.
In Serie D, Serie C, Serie B, European Youth Championship, and Italian Cup, his scoring efficiency is very high!
Abnormally high.
But when the team entered the Europa League and European Cup, his efficiency dropped to one goal from three to four five shots.
But it is still at the top level.
In the last three or four games, although he seems to have scored more goals, his number of shots has actually soared even more outrageously.
At this time, his efficiency has reached the level of scoring one goal in seven, eight, or nine shots.
Admittedly, it's still high.
But Lu Yang's efficiency is definitely on a different level than before. It's not an exaggeration to say it's been a crazy decline.
Moreover, Lu Yang did not occupy the team's shots in the past.
Most of his shots were taken by himself.
Steals, interceptions, counter-steals after losing the ball, follow-up shots, etc.
These chances are equivalent to extra chances. You can understand that Sanremo has one more shooter than the opponent.
This kind of opportunity itself is also very sudden. In addition, Lu Yang has good shooting skills, so the goal rate remains high.
But now... due to the forward position and the team's attention, after the team gives Lu Yang resources, Lu Yang no longer needs to grab resources himself.
Without the resources he grabbed, the team's overall resources, namely offense, number of shots, etc., would actually be reduced.
The team is getting weaker.
On the other hand, because most of the opportunities were prepared and not sudden, Lu Yang's success rate also began to decline.
From abnormally accurate, to normal and very accurate.
With both data declining, Sanremo... Hey, Sanremo has become so damn strong?
This unscientific?
But this actually illustrates Lu Yang's abnormality.
Even after his diluted shooting goal rate, he is still considered a first-rate or even top-tier forward.
Coupled with his stable state, if the team dares to continue to feed him like this, he will dare to continue to score like this. Moreover, the team's opponents are generally not strong recently, and it is understandable that they have won consecutive victories.
If this continues, even on the highest level of competition, averaging one goal per game will not be a big problem.
This phenomenon has happened before, and some teams are willing to play like this.
But the problem is that their core often can't be that durable.
One goal in six or seven shots?
Some people do manage to do it occasionally.
But there are still many core forwards who are not in good condition and can't score a goal with thirty or forty shots. At that time, the team still insisted on this style of play, and the forwards were completely weak.
Therefore, from the team's perspective, we still hope that the team will have multiple stable scoring points to avoid goal droughts.
But this setting essentially deprives a shooter of unlimited fire rights.
The unlimited right to fire here does not mean that you can shoot at will, but in a literal sense, the right to keep firing and shooting while others just pass the ball!
The former is the first level of unlimited fire power, and the latter is the second and more advanced level.
In fact, top stars are not happy to have their unlimited firing rights violated, whether it is the first or second gear.
But Lu Yang is not obsessed with unlimited firepower.
Because the team gives him unlimited fire power, although his statistics can soar, his high-level statistics have actually declined.
This decline not only ties the team's victory or defeat to him alone, but also causes other players in the team to decline.
It doesn't matter in normal games, but in the really crucial duel between strong players, without the help of strong teammates, will you have to rely on Lu Yang every time?
He doesn't have that many moments stuck.
So after exchanging recent data with Luo La, Lu Yang was looking for an opportunity to "decentralize power."
Give the right to fire to other teammates appropriately.
But this is a technical job and needs to be carefully considered.
Certainly not now.
Now the whole team has the same hatred and wants to help Brother Lu get the Ballon d'Or in the face. Brother Lu suddenly said, "It's not good for me to score goals alone. Let's all shoot together." To be honest, it hurts morale.
At least the outside world will think that Lu Yang is giving in.
Lu Yang knew that his form would not last long, so he retreated quickly. It seemed that he was sharing the ball, but in fact he was just preparing an excuse in advance for his possible goal drought.
Some teammates in the team may even feel that Brother Lu is not tough enough, thus doubting Lu Yang's dominance.
Right, Talista?
If this continues, good things will turn into bad things.
Lu Yang, with his high emotional intelligence, would naturally not let such a situation happen.
Therefore, even if he knows that his and the team's efficiency is declining, he must hold on for a while.
When the fans and teammates feel that you should be brave, as a player, you must be brave.
Only in this way can you become their idol and gain their unreserved support.
If you stop fighting evil just when they think you should be doing it, you will disappoint them.
I have mentioned several types of fans before.
A large part of those die-hard fans pin their emotions and things on the stars that they want to do but dare not do.
The Ballon d'Or is not fair enough and manipulates the rankings. Fans have been suffering from them for a long time.
Don't reason with me, just do it well!
Therefore, since Lu Yang started an uprising, there was no reason to retreat.
So Lu Yang made a vague gesture towards Suo Tu.
It means substitution.
He prepared the room to whet his appetite and started to add snacks.
Defense is no longer important at this time, you just need to keep setting up cannons for him!
Suotu took the order and made two substitutions with a wave of his hand at sixty minutes.
Replaced Kaint and Lahm and replaced Delray and Moreiba.
Delray's offensive attributes are stronger.
Moreba seems to be a defensive midfielder, but he has always been restless on the offensive end in his heart. He likes to pass some aggressive passes whenever he gets the chance, which is just right for Lu Yang who now needs to deliver artillery shells.
"Oh! Sotu has made substitutions. He replaced two defensive midfielders and midfielders early. Sotu is confident of winning!"
"But such a substitution would not take Sporting Lisbon's offense seriously, right?"
"Sotu is a bit exaggerated."
"But one thing has been confirmed, that is, the atmosphere in the Sanremo team is very good, and Sotu's head coach is also very authoritative. Lahm and Kant, who were replaced early, did not have any unhappy expressions. They sat there On the bench, they were still actively discussing where they didn’t play well enough just now.”
"With this atmosphere, even if we lose this game, Sanremo will not lose hope of advancing!"
Guan Zeyuan opened his mouth to encourage Sanremo.
As everyone knows, what Kaint and Ram are discussing is...
Kaint: "Brother Lu didn't have a very good shooting chance in this game."
Lahm: "Well, the number of times was in place, but the ball passed to him from the frontcourt was not subtle enough."
Kaint: "The main frontcourt lacks changes, and Talista's ball is barely usable. Bayizami... I won't mention him."
Lahm: "There is only one offensive starting point in the midfield, Moric, and it is too easy to be arranged in advance. Moric's ball passed, and Brother Lu did not have a good chance. All Sporting Lisbon studded around Brother Lu, Brother Lu As soon as I got the ball, there was a wall of people in front of me.”
Kaint: "It's our fault for our poor footwork. We can't send cannonballs to Brother Lu and help the midfielder get the ball at this time."
Lahm: "If Delray comes up, he should be able to break the deadlock. His dribbling and passing are not much worse than Moric."
Kaint: "Well, Moreba also has a good long pass. I hope Brother Lu can continue his efforts. I won't say too much in this game, but I have to score a goal. Otherwise, French football will really say that he is a weak player in the Champions League. It’s shrimp.”
Lahm: "Yeah, Brother Lu has to rise up! We can't let the Golden Globe see the joke. Goal, goal, goal!"
Lahm's voice moved the Sanremo bench.
Then, the entire Miracle Stadium shouted with them: "Lu Yang, score a goal! Lu Yang, score a goal!"
The home atmosphere was instantly activated.
