Just a bit short!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the VIP stands, those stars, along with some big club sports directors and even presidents, were whispering to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the private boxes of the stadium, people of similar ranks were equally amazed by the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They actually have such a powerful midfield core! Who is this kid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morici! It’s said he’s a shepherd boy from Croatia, discovered by a local league because of his talent for football, then tricked to San Remo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tricked? What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone said they could bring him to Serie A and make him a top star. He, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, followed someone here, but it turned out that person was just an ordinary youth player trader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morici wasn’t noticed by the big teams. He was thin and weak, and although he had a good feel for the ball, he hadn’t mastered many technical movements at the time, and his tactical execution wasn’t strong enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, the other party threw Morici to San Remo, which took him in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s really a legendary story, how much is he worth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Thinking of buying him? Doesn’t your club already have someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, there’s never too many good prospects, is there? Of course, I’m just asking, not necessarily buying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True, buying rashly might be a bit too much, like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. This kid seems to be in a period of growth; changing the environment might affect his development.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... actually, last year some Serie B teams inquired about him. But this summer, I estimate Serie A teams will pursue him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then will he leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the field, Morici, with support from Lu Yang, once again evaded the opponent’s pressing and made a sudden long pass with the help of Lu Yang’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Samp player behind Lu Yang had a chance to intercept this ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This player was also the only one who had a chance to break this pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was screened by Lu Yang, and by the time he reacted, the ball had already flown past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The football flew swiftly, heading straight towards San Remo’s right front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it was positioned at the flank near the wing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pass not only hit the gap between Samp’s left center-back and left-back but also made the Sampdoria goalkeeper hesitant to rush out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this pass were one or two meters more to the left, perhaps the Sampdoria goalkeeper wouldn’t have hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici’s pass control was wonderfully precise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, slightly regrettably, Becher’s charge was slow, ultimately lacking chemistry with Morici.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the football crossed the baseline, giving the opponents a goal kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becher shook his head slightly, then turned and gave Morici a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici smiled faintly, nodding slightly to indicate it’s okay, keep trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this attack didn’t fully materialize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Samp coaching staff demonstrated the quality of Serie A coaches; they recognized the super threat of Morici.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took advantage of a pause in the twenty-fourth minute and made two substitutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such actions were surprisingly bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, unless due to player injuries, making adjustments at halftime is already quite extreme and decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, football, the field, the opponents’ playing habits, physical strength, speed, etc., all need acclimatization; considering there are twenty-two players on the pitch but only one football, it often takes half an hour to fully adjust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty-four minutes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo really had Sampdoria under pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, the \"so what\" attitude of Lu Yang and Sogel seriously provoked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the Samp coach wouldn’t have brought on two key players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two substitutions were direct swaps for specific positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samp’s number eleven came on as a substitute, one of Samp’s regular starting forwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Samp’s number eight came on as a substitute, a key defensive midfielder in Samp’s regular lineup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both have clear tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former is to score goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter is to limit Becher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, these two also brought the coach’s instructions to the team: limit San Remo’s left flank, namely Fernandez’s side of the attack, and don’t let their left-back advance up the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This adjustment had nothing to do with Lu Yang or Morici.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this is where the master’s level is evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Serie A head coach, calling him a master is not an overstatement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, how many leagues are there in the world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many head coaches?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To work in the Five Major Leagues, there must be something commendable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This adjustment was just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only addressing immediate concerns without anticipating future ones is not the way of a thorough strategy, too reactive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Granted, perhaps this might also yield great results, but... the Samp coach already saw through the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Morici infinitely running to support Lu Yang, it’s impossible to completely contain them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless two high-level defensive players appeared simultaneously to mark Lu Yang and Morici.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even then, Becher still poses a significant threat; he’s capable of playing in Serie A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Samp coach’s thought process was straightforward: restrict San Remo’s wings, forcing them to attack through the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But San Remo’s midfield attack essentially relies only on Lu and Mo, giving Samp an advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they win the ball back, Samp can counter-attack through San Remo’s middle lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From here, it’s evident that the Samp coach is aiming for a victory in this match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the best plan to both restrict San Remo while enhancing their attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it does carry some risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because restricting Lu Yang and Morici, while leaving Becher, Sogel, and Fernandez free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to restricting the flanks and leaving Lu Yang and Morici free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, the latter could still pose a threat to Samp.\u003C\u002Fp>",959,"2026-06-06T13:45:08.170Z",1,"novelbin.me","e063fccb199ad5e327bd495ea8b44338c1f202b1164572f9b4c2b159b806bb29","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-308","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-306",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
