This was Bisceglie’s closest chance to scoring recently, if it weren’t for Lu Yang, perhaps...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Yang has an incredible amount of energy within him; his will is exceptionally resilient. We’ve just acquired data statistics: today, in the battle for landing points, San Remo was thoroughly suppressed by Bisceglie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Yang practically never won a landing point in front of their number nine central forward, and his other one-meter-ninety-tall central defender was likewise suppressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But against all odds, Lu Yang won in this final and most crucial battle for the landing point. Especially in a situation filled with physical confrontation; this is very difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s congratulate San Remo; they earned respect for themselves, taking one point from Bisceglie, and at the same time, we also need to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Morici takes the ball on the outside; he strikes a long pass—it’s... a counterattack, it’s San Remo’s counterattack!

Though surpassed by Vedian, he stayed close to Vedian the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trusting his instincts, Vedian made a sudden left-footed swing, high-kicking the ball towards the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoping teammates would appear there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball sailed high and lightly, drifting into the right-sided area outside Bisceglie’s penalty area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bisceglie’s goalkeeper decisively launched, charging forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one kick to send the falling ball forward, and the match would end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was only one point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just now... the one point they almost secured risked becoming zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was there to ponder?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in a moment of clarity, the Bisceglie goalkeeper noticed a red and white figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red and white jersey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was San Remo’s away kit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goalkeeper began sprinting even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that red and white figure also accelerated, overtaking Bisceglie’s central defender and left-back, who were rushing back simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu! It’s Lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My heavens, why is he always seemingly everywhere?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having just cleared the ball in his own penalty area, and now appearing outside the opponent’s penalty area in the next second, it’s simply miraculous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ball is outside the penalty area, Bisceglie’s goalkeeper cannot use his hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Bisceglie goalkeeper reacted earlier; he’ll reach the ball before Lu Yang. Can he manage it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Manage? No, this is too risky, stopping such a high ball well is challenging. He should use his head to knock the ball back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bisceglie’s goalkeeper, indeed steady, opted for the commentator’s strategy, using his head to head the ball back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, didn’t direct it too accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the ball drifted upwards rather than far, merely distanced about three meters from the initial spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the goalkeeper nodded the ball forward, Lu quickly pivoted to step forward, keeping his eyes fixed on the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>",960,"2026-06-06T13:45:07.891Z",1,"novelbin.me","d913c35dffc9897a002f5167d654266d0d0fef12212d22aea5962a90f58705ac","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-131","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-130",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
