Brother!\" Lu Yang rushed to Sevajos, encouraging him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re practically a sharpshooter!\" Sevajos also hugged Lu Yang, and then everyone came over to celebrate together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This goal clearly eased the tension among the Star of Italy Team players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have the ability to break through the opponent’s goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Star of Italy also has their troubles, which is their passing and controlling isn’t working today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people think that passing and controlling means just passing continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, control is the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Often, to achieve the effect of passing and controlling, there must be ball-holding ability, awareness, and ability to stabilize when the opponent is not pressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to maintain possession when the opponent is pressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This requires technique plus movement plus... physicality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the current Star of Italy Team obviously can’t achieve this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when the opposing team is pressing collectively, no one can hold the ball, not even Morici can withstand the opponents’ hits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu is steady enough, but he was just taken down by the opponent while trying to stabilize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in the upcoming match, the Star of Italy Team still struggled a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their air defense is really hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposing player number eight again completed a steal against Sevajos, then passed around Lu Yang with a one-two with their right winger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time Lu Yang couldn’t manage to defend against two players alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is human, not a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposing right winger crossed the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposing central forward once again scored a header over Lam’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A double!
