What did I just see, Lu Yang actually used a beautiful outside foot pass, the ball flew between two central defenders, finding Sogel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was definitely an exquisite pass!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The outside foot pass gives Lu Yang’s passes dual-directional optionality, making him a threat on both sides at any position, and almost impossible to defend before the pass is made.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, the outside foot pass possesses certain curvature, making it even tougher to block Lu Yang’s pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Breakthrough! San Remo successfully achieved a breakthrough, relying on Lu Yang’s golden pass to crack the deadlock! In the future, they are likely to go on a winning streak, as I can’t think of any way to stop Lu Yang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game restarted, the whole match entering the ninetieth minute, Lu Yang once again pushed forward in the center, executing a Divine Dragon Tail over to break through, followed by a Bengbu Spin resisting two charging central defenders, in the same way, they couldn’t give Lu Yang the space to use an outside foot pass again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the Bengbu Spin, Lu Yang used a heel-knock behind the opponent, sending the ball through the opponent’s legs into the penalty area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Lu Yang turned and shook off the defender to rush towards the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sogel moved to the side taking one person away, the penalty area was empty, Lu Yang chasing the ball might result in a goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent was helpless, only able to pull Lu Yang down, but forgot that during the Bengbu confrontation with Lu Yang, the three had already entered the penalty area range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whistle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow card plus penalty kick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear decision!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vercelli’s two central defenders focusing on Lu Yang collapsed on the field, covering their faces in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s too difficult!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This game is too hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, they’d rather face Izalelt than Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izalelt might beat them instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yang often defeated them when they always felt they had already defended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former shows a much bigger gap, but the latter is more cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, we can see that Vercelli’s two players are not in good shape, they are somewhat collapsing. I can understand this feeling, this feeling of always being just a bit short is too despairing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this is exactly why Lu Yang is always trusted, he always seems just a bit away from failure, yet he succeeds!
