Next season, I’ll give you more opportunities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vedian frowned slightly. Was his performance not good enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, then I’ll keep going!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Palacios was speaking with Naji, telling him not to give the opposition so much space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponents are all top-tier Serie B forwards, and their shots are reliable. If given too much space, their long shots are equally threatening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naji nodded. If such an opportunity arises again, he will step up, even though he knows that if he steps up, he will likely be taken down by Vedian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no choice, Vedian was the team’s star player!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game restarted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang proactively aided in defense, colliding a bit with Vedian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed that Vedian had grown stronger, with a noticeable increase in physical confrontation ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In half a year with a top Serie B team, his physical quality has improved significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the hidden bonus of a professional team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Vedian’s footwork technique has improved. Whether it’s dribbling or shooting, he has gotten stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is at a stage of rapid skill enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he continues to develop this way, he can become a Serie A level star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Benevento nurtures Vedian well, they will be rewarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the trade involving Vedian cannot be seen as a loss for San Remo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reasons have been explained many times, and staying in San Remo, Vedian wouldn’t necessarily develop into the player he is now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because San Remo already has Morici and Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though San Remo is a small team, their playing style is quite \"domineering\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big teams focus more on ball distribution, even if you are a superstar, you still have to collaborate a lot with your teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at San Remo, Morici previously had absolute ball control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, although Lu Yang may not seem to have much possession, he also has absolute \"effective ball control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vedian couldn’t evolve into an offensive core at San Remo; the team configuration doesn’t allow it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Benevento, even though it’s a high-level team, don’t forget what Vedian is there for!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is there to succeed the core, so he will naturally enjoy treatment similar to a core player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After praising Vedian so much, Lu Yang still easily snatched the ball from Vedian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like their first intramural training match, easy and straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vedian’s face turned into a confused emoji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel like I’ve evolved into Diga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do I turn back into a small monster when you arrive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This defensive pressure is at the top Serie B level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang’s feet were swift as he passed with Versachi in midfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Benevento ramped up their offense, San Remo simply stopped defending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s attack versus attack, so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the core reason for Vedian’s recent goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versachi began pressing forward, leaving a gap behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To a certain extent, San Remo’s formation shifted to 41113, or even 4123.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host from Sky TV was puzzled: \"Sotu’s adjustments are irrational; does he intend to go head-to-head with Benevento?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maniero said: \"Because they can’t defend!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host was momentarily speechless: \"But if they continue like this, they’ll concede again. The last goal happened this way. Continuing like this, they’ll concede more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maniero replied: \"Indeed, but San Remo can also score.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host glanced at San Remo’s players: \"Reliance on who? Bai Zhami who keeps running back and forth, or Sogel who’s too soft to even dare enter the penalty area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Maniero could reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo’s critical attack arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang, after attracting the defense, passed the ball to Versachi. Versachi completed the flank combination with Fernandez, successfully reaching the byline, and then made a direct ground cross pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pass was extremely clever; the opposition didn’t see it coming at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But similarly, Sogel didn’t anticipate it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a tussle with the opponent’s center-back, Sogel managed to touch the ball, but it lacked the strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sogel hit a high-speed spinning soft shot; the ball gently rose, weakly, and was caught by the goalkeeper. It looked absolutely terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Sogel fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, during the confrontation, the opposing center-back elbowed Sogel’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of pressure from not exerting pressure is understood by all men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, Versachi’s cross was too fast, making it a difficult opportunity to seize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s one of those chances that looks easily achievable by anyone, but even top players can miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sogel complained to the Main Referee, but the referee didn’t see any foul by the opponent’s center-back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Lu, the opponent’s center-back was also very experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Sogel was still complaining to the Main Referee, Benevento’s goalkeeper sent a long ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low kick from the goalkeeper, quickly sending the ball to the front field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there, Vedian was sprinting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious that this goalkeeper was quite skilled, able to maintain confidence even after facing two unorthodox power shots from Lu Yang, which is no easy feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, his offensive awareness was strong, always spotting opportunities for attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, being a goalkeeper does him an injustice; he should at least be a playmaking center-back, fitting future tactical trends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a classic case of being born in the wrong era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, a gem will shine anywhere, and Benevento won’t be his final destination.\u003C\u002Fp>",928,"2026-06-06T13:45:08.170Z",1,"novelbin.me","1d202fb44a4941262e687b19bb9b5b9add6314f73a80e0ebb366dd7718693f74","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-219","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-217",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
