He was displeased, but he couldn’t express it, so he could only attribute it to his own inadequacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could also freeze Lu Yang, then the head coach would certainly not substitute him, and San Remo wouldn’t be revitalizing their midfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\" Lu Yang followed Kane, maintaining a certain distance, and said, \"No matter the outcome of this match, I would like to exchange jerseys with you afterward, is that okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane turned to glance at Lu Yang, somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not someone who likes to actively exchange jerseys, nor does he ever agree to someone else’s request for a jersey exchange, so to this day, Kane has never exchanged jerseys with anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the true situation for many shy, ordinary players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane nodded but said something: \"We’ll win. Without me, the team’s attack will be smoother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang shook his head: \"But we will too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camera recorded all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ness fans, although unable to see lip movements, expressed dissatisfaction with Lu Yang’s behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main referee came over to tell Lu Yang that he couldn’t use words to deliberately provoke opponents. Kane explained for Lu Yang: \"He didn’t provoke me, you misunderstood. We were discussing exchanging jerseys afterwards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main referee was startled, well, it seems this year’s UEFA Europa League Fair Play award winner has been found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, the main referee, who was already reaching into his pocket for a card, subtly wiped his hand on his chest, covering up his almost mistaken gesture with the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main referee quality varies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to distinguish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides being able to execute certain \"special tasks\" arranged by higher-ups in key matches, you have to be competent in regular matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you wouldn’t even qualify as a biased referee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not all gold referees are biased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every biased referee must have been a gold referee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A popular player like Lu Yang is someone all referees study before matches. Because if you make a critical error in judgment on him, and if things blow up, your quarterly bonus is doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further, your future prospects will also be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this referee’s gesture prompted a wave of boos from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These boos were directed at the main referee, Lu Yang, and even at Kane who defended Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ness’s head coach didn’t know what to say to Kane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Praise him for sportsmanship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Ness doesn’t deliver good results in the Europa League this year, this coach might even lose his job — what good is praising sportsmanship for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 65th minute, Sotu on the San Remo side also made a grand gesture and started substitutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was a triple substitution!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Morici had communicated with Sotu when Kane came off the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their trump card off, they can strengthen their offense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, on the San Remo side, Belletti replaced Fernandez.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versachi replaced Bai Zhami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two players were substituted for protective reasons, also due to their excessive stamina consumption and declining impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Versachi didn’t move to Bai Zhami’s left winger position; instead, Lu Yang moved up, and Versachi played in Lu Yang’s midfield position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang often appears forward this season because he adapts well to different positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, Sotu used Lam to replace Latu Yidi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning is similarly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lam’s defensive ability is certainly weaker than Latu Yidi’s, especially in some anticipatory interceptions and tackles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... Lam is young and can run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Latu Yidi was a sweeper, a disruptor, but at San Remo, he doesn’t run much anymore. He’s more like a behind-the-lines midfielder; coverage isn’t his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the transformation time brings to a player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing on Lam means our defensive intensity can decrease, but our defensive range must expand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea is the opponent’s attack isn’t as strong — our purpose is to reduce their attack even if some attacks come through, the defensive line can handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is sheer disdain for Ness’s attacking capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it shows San Remo is about to launch a major offense. Their midfield and front will consequently disconnect somewhat from the defense, requiring Lam to fill the gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is an open play!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ness fans quickly noticed an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come, even after substituting out Kane who restricted their attack, Ness’s situation became even murkier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ness’s attack is smoother, but the number of attacking opportunities decreased significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, San Remo’s attack became even silkier, with attacking opportunities rapidly increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One long shot here, a cross there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly substituted players performed well, no issues anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 78th minute of the match, Morici fully revived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did a rabona on the central field, drawing in two defenders before passing to Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang retreated for support, did a wall pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici did a wall pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wall pass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wall pass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them ping-ponged through the midfield, penetrating with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo’s twin star’s ping-pong passes shone in European competition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Morici 1V1 faced Ness’s central defender at the top of the penalty arc, performing an elegant Marseille turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ness’s central defender adjusted sideways, Morici directly bumped into him, failing to get past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player didn’t get past, but the ball did!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ball, Morici anticipated it early on — he never intended to directly get past the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>",900,"2026-06-06T13:45:17.999Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c2654116065f82ffa840ab6b4f67c87bfa5f69f3a467284b0f8f5c96a13e891","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-536","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-534",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
