the attention of many professionals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo has steadied themselves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their morale hasn’t scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They haven’t panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does panic mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent years, matches played by the German Team when they fall behind vividly illustrate this concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in major tournaments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Often, with twenty or thirty minutes left and they are trailing by a goal, they start with mindless long balls and big kicks to the front, tactics that essentially have no strategic significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ironically, they don’t even have a matching big central forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more critical the match, the more evident this becomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they can slowly organize the attack, opportunities are plenty, but they choose ways they aren’t skilled at when they shouldn’t gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mindset of this team is problematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their results can also reflect this issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo, at this moment, is the opposite of the German Team, their mentality is great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they all know, they have Lu Yang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might be the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A team with centripetal force and a definite core has a future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drawing the opponent out slightly, Lu Yang, with a move of a ball tap and lift, initiated a sudden breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed by a bicycle kick passing the ball forward, passing by the number ten player, leaving the opponent to only watch him leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Benevento’s midfield was instantly penetrated by Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, because the two \"flyers\" did not advance, only Sogel was in the San Remo front line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Benevento could have three people come up to trap Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang performed the Bengbu Spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent knocked Lu Yang down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A set piece in the front field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the San Remo players still didn’t advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still only Sogel was at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhami seemed to be walking in the front as well, but that was genuinely walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stamina isn’t good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t have both eruption and stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versachi kicked the ball to Lu Yang, and Lu Yang passed it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They returned to the scene at the start of the extra time, purely wasting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cowering play style really lacks grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sotu showed no shame in it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I open the door of my house, waiting with open arms for you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should we let our exhausted players all run up to join the attack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a match, not a friendship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Lu Yang brought the ball forward a bit more than last time, and at thirty-five meters from the goal, he chose to shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a shot with no chance of scoring, and Lu Yang didn’t aim at the goal at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just didn’t want to be intercepted by the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to consume some more opposition time, grind against the opponent’s players a bit more, is his tactical goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this powerful shot indicated that he still had plenty of stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is crucial, yet few people noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people only saw the decline in Lu Yang’s shooting quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen minutes passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second half of extra time began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang ran across the field, with running distance already reaching 15 kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his speed didn’t noticeably slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a beautiful interception, Lu Yang continued dribbling the ball towards the front field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vedian, who was intercepted, was a bit dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect Lu Yang could catch up with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only came on in the second half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He performed well today, ran a lot, sprinted a lot, so his stamina was also depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he should be stronger than Lu Yang, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang took another long shot to waste time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commentator said: \"San Remo’s intention is clear, they want to drag the match into extra time, but this may not be a wise choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although both sides conceded four goals, the ability of both goalkeepers is not low.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Benevento’s advantage is that their goalkeeper is younger. While Jalard in San Remo has decent skills, his age means that such a long focus in a match greatly exhausts his mental and physical strength, his state won’t be better than Benevento’s goalkeeper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, Benevento’s players have generally better ball skills than San Remo. In their team, at least over seven players can step up for penalty kicks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"San Remo can’t even assemble five people. Lu Yang, Sogel, Bai Zhami... Who else? Naji perhaps, since he’s scored quite a few own goals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commentator added humor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His insights are also most people’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo is committing a self-destructive act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, getting to this point, they haven’t lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this battle, everyone knows San Remo doesn’t belong to the Italian Third Division anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have the strength to wrestle with top teams in Serie B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Lu Yang’s two miracle goals, they can score two excellent goals. Change any Italian Third Division team to come, they absolutely can’t achieve this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>minutes into the whole match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naji intercepted the opponent’s bottom cross in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality of both sides’ attacks have severely declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh player’s pass didn’t reach his own central forward’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scoring early, he perfectly performed the invisibility skill, his performance was quite poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This has much to do with Lu Yang always marking him during defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versachi received the ball, surrounded but transferred the football to Lu Yang on the flank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang directly kicked the football out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The athletics race, came again!\u003C\u002Fp>",928,"2026-06-06T13:45:08.170Z",1,"novelbin.me","610871812afd857e70c9c9428f6fc9e848cb05e5f7864080f4f7ee113533a045","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-222","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-220",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
