Our Lang Team has long been unable to run. Why is it so hard to be comfortably a substitute for a season and then retire!\" Lu Yang pulled Camihong over to Rondo, \"Rondo, you’re going to be in the office next year. Can you take this half-year opportunity to teach all your skills to Camihong? Can you train another excellent central back for us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rondo laughed heartily and said it was doable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camihong also smiled in agreement and further understood his situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Rondo indeed share playing time, but there’s no competitive relationship between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rondo couldn’t wait for Camihong to play more matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His old bones couldn’t handle playing as a central back, let alone the half-season as a full-back. If the team doesn’t bring in more full-backs, he might have to apply for early retirement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This really disregards the physical needs of veteran players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Lu Yang also pulled Fernandez and Bai Zhami over to Belletti: \"You two, learn from Belletti well. He was once a star winger dominating Serie A!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even just sharing a skill or two will benefit you immensely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words sounded incredibly fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominating Serie A, those four words are really undeserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you talk about a star winger, Belletti indeed thinks he barely qualified back in the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just two introductions, Lu Yang solved the potential conflicts within the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also made the two new players aware of their positions within the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camihong knew he wouldn’t lack playing time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belletti felt respected by the team and players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fernandez and Bai Zhami’s sense of being replaced greatly diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone got what they needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A harmonious atmosphere prevailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On January 23rd, the fourth round of the Italian Cup officially kicked off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo continued to enjoy the home-field advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the commentator called out Lu Yang’s name, the entire stadium erupted in wild cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Sanremo City Stadium is not large, even a veteran like Belletti was startled by this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in this home stadium was excellent, which could bring great support to the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...what kind of outstanding player could win over the fans to this extent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whistle blew, and the match kicked off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only ten minutes later, Sotu frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Lu Yang on the field looked puzzled at Fernandez and Bai Zhami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why hasn’t their condition improved?\" Sotu, experienced as he is, can tell when a player is not right, and ten minutes were enough for him to observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tactics he formulated before the game clearly showed that Fernandez and Bai Zhami weren’t in the right positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Fernandez.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang, while passing the ball, could also clearly feel this, and he had to frequently support Fernandez as a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think, is his leg feeling uncomfortable?\" Belletti casually remarked on the bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having suffered injuries and seen teammates injured, Belletti has some knowledge about the common ailments of professional players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several errors in ball stops by Fernandez clearly indicated some physical discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He had a slight thigh strain earlier, but with a winter break, he should have recovered!\" Tom was also puzzled, \"As for Bai Zhami, he was frequently training on the pitch during the winter break, I just found out about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sotu and Tom looked ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This winter break, they were busy with transfers and had no time to manage the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, extra training by players is generally seen as a good thing, so the training ground administrators were naturally willing to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... Bai Zhami and Fernandez didn’t know that their problem wasn’t too little training, but too many matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they needed was not more perfection but to stop temporarily and rest well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point is always hard for young people to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Often, they only realize to stop when their bodies can’t bear it anymore, but by then, it’s usually too late, and the damage is done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balancing work and rest doesn’t just mean study and entertainment; the essential part is unwinding and settling down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the true balance of work and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the team didn’t provide enough security for the players, causing them to train non-stop, so in this aspect, the team also bears a significant responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the field, Lu Yang felt the lack of strength from the two wingers, making this match feel no different from the last game before the winter break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he had lost his wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Venice, after all, is a Serie B team. Their players naturally sensed such a significant gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They started to focus boldly on Lu Yang, relaxing their guard on San Remo’s flanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the thirty-fifth minute of the match, Lu Yang used his individual skill to create a front-field set piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versachi took the free kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naji scored with a header.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo took a one-zero lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, only three minutes later, a weak pass from Fernandez allowed Venice to intercept, and they transferred the ball from the left to the right in a large range, exploiting the space behind Rondo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rondo’s pace was not enough to catch up, allowing the opponent to reach the endline and cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposing central forward did a small action with his hands, pressing Naji and jumping first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naji couldn’t jump up, and the opposing central forward successfully headed the ball into the net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naji complained to the main referee, but the main referee deemed it normal physical contact, and Naji suffered the loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rarely did he lose his temper, almost receiving a Yellow Gem.\u003C\u002Fp>",947,"2026-06-06T13:45:08.170Z",1,"novelbin.me","49ea7a6e8f5184de59dcf5594f1f2fd204644f942f457c72a1dd72dc00780a4b","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-240","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-238",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
