Shit!\" Sotu sprayed Bai Zhami, \"In the second half, I need your breakthrough, you can’t always let Lu Lai do your job for you. If that’s the case, why did the team buy you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sotu’s words were harsh but logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhami nodded heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the welcome Vedian received today made him somewhat uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his role was to fill the void left by Vedian’s departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, there exists a comparative relationship between him and Vedian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last season, Vedian scored 25 goals with 10 assists, showcasing his all-round abilities in the Italian D Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this season?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>goals and 3 assists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad, but definitely not good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Fernandez, who cost much less, has similar stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the extent that occasionally some fans would say things like if only Vedian were here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhami definitely cares about such words; don’t forget his personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, what he lacks most is a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needs to prove himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Sotu initially wanted to adjust today’s central defense lineup, but after looking at the substitutes bench, he held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Naji is a big weakness, San Remo truly doesn’t have a better center-back substitute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the combination of Naji and Palacios as tall center-backs has a fatal flaw: speed... turning speed, tracking speed, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nemesis of such center-backs is the agile and fast type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Benevento number seven is already enough trouble for these two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you add Vedian, it’s hard to even imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next season, no matter what, we need to bring in one or two more center-backs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adjustment finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second half began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as Sotu predicted, Benevento really switched to a 433.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their midfield control thus decreased, giving Lu Yang the chance to run and even hold the ball in the midfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo tentatively launched an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang played a one-two with Bai Zhami, passing the opposing midfielder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the opposing right-back, Bai Zhami did not hesitate and went for a direct breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Benevento’s right-back was unprepared, he never expected Bai Zhami to be so fast, feeling just like Vedian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a burst of speed, Bai Zhami brushed past the opponent, successfully reaching the end line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kicked the ball across!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang and Sogel rushed into the penalty area one after the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the opposing goalkeeper, highly skilled and bold, directly charged out, catching the football in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Benevento’s goalkeeper looked at Lu Yang with lingering fear, indicating that as long as he doesn’t kick the ball, they can remain friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly afraid of when Lu Yang held the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A half-field shooting range covering 180 degrees, whoever challenges ends up as background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attack didn’t succeed, and Benevento retaliated against San Remo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goalkeeper directly threw a powerful handball towards the outside of the penalty area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang sensed danger and shouted towards the midfield, \"Watch out for the counterattack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Benevento’s number ten had already taken the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned with the ball, dribbling past the pressing Versachi, then advanced with the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versachi chased after him all the way, but couldn’t catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is enough to prove that this number ten is really something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Morici were here, he would probably have quite a battle with this number ten; they belong to the same accelerator-style midfield, both having strong personal skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang couldn’t catch up in time; the number ten played a through pass to the right flank of San Remo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, Vedian cut inside without the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Latu Yidi ran over to cover the space left by Versachi’s charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it was just an overlapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same way Bai Zhami outpaced Benevento’s right-back, Vedian did so against Latu Yidi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that Latu Yidi didn’t try hard; with age, speed is really his weak point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you enter positional play, Latu Yidi’s defense strength is very high.
