Lu Yang has delivered a rising shot! This is the best response to those who doubted his long shots!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This shot was powerful, especially remarkable because Lu Yang took it while shoulder to shoulder with the opposing central defender.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before today, there were rumors in the football world that Lu Yang was the Crown Prince of Purple Lily, because Lu Yang had a similar playing history to Florence’s super central forward, Carrel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many people thought it was just meaningless hype because Lu Yang couldn’t possibly play like Carrel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... Lu Yang has done it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, the camera has moved to Carrel, and he’s dancing excitedly, calling out to Maniero beside him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maniero is equally excited, cheering and applauding Lu Yang’s goal just like San Remo’s fans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Lu Yang isn’t celebrating the goal! He’s running back to the defense, heading towards the main referee! What’s he trying to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game is full of twists and turns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang brushes past the main referee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, his eyes convey a clear message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borges plays like that, and you don’t even give him a yellow card? That tackle from behind could even warrant a red card!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the main referee’s evasive gaze equally indicates that he won’t give Borges a second yellow card, don’t ask why, but there’s definitely a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang and the main referee’s eye contact, fleeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walks over to Morici: \"How are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici responds: \"Maybe it’s okay, but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici’s hand opens slightly, and Lu Yang sees the injury on his ankle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camera also captures this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici’s ankle was cut by studs, with two fairly deep gashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For football players, especially midfielders and forwards, the use of their feet is extremely demanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who need to pass and shoot powerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any minor injury to their ankles would seriously affect their performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop pretending. You collapse like a woman at the slightest touch. Just get off the field, or I promise I’ll break your leg!\" Borges snapped harshly from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their team was unexpectedly trailing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they lose this match, their dream of finishing in the top five will be completely shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means those who bet on the match will lose a lot of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borges himself is one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Potenza to make it into the top five looks extremely difficult, needing to win all remaining matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in their schedule, only San Remo is a tough opponent, while the others are lower-ranked teams with no relegation pressure, so... it’s a good opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borges placed a big bet on his team finishing in the league’s top five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can’t afford to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, Borges no longer thought about any of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because a fist landed hard on his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell!\" Lu Yang launched a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t endure it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to endure it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to take Borges out, or else Morici would definitely get injured and leave today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll kill you!\" Borges retaliated, trying to strike back at Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yang surprisingly used both hands and feet, driving a knee into Borges’ abdomen, making him lose his ability to resist, then delivered an uppercut, knocking him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same time, Potenza’s players reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their number eight player raised his fist and charged at Lu Yang from the side, he must have bet a lot too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yang sidestepped and dodged the strike, then caught the opponent’s arm, lifted his elbow, turned around, and slammed an elbow into the opponent’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down goes another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\" Morici exclaimed from the ground when he saw Lu Yang’s back, barely having time to shout a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Potenza’s number three player suddenly delivered a flying kick towards Lu Yang’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the power of a footballer, if that kick landed, Lu Yang would likely be carried off the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yang, as if he had eyes on the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned, sidestepped the foot, and grabbed the airborne opponent, using the momentum to slam him onto Borges, who had just gotten up to charge at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Potenza lost three players to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t beat us in soccer, and you’re just as useless in a fight!\" Lu Yang shouted, glaring at the surrounding Potenza players, \"Come on, if you dare, come at me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Potenza players who were about to rush in froze like startled birds, stepping back one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever Lu Yang’s eyes landed, Potenza’s players retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No match!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No match at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, he’s a Flower Planter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kung fu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows kung fu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commentator was stunned: \"Oh, my God, this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is definitely the most exciting boxing match, oh no, football match of the Italian D Division season.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Yang single-handedly KO’d three Potenza players in a row, including the notorious football ’bad boy’ Borges!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one dares to challenge Lu Yang. He’s not just the Crown Prince of Purple Lily; he’s the King of San Remo! The Boxing King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps this shouldn’t be said, but... on-field brawls are sometimes part of a football match!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Lu Yang’s behavior was definitely inappropriate, but... if the referee had penalized Borges earlier as he deserved, none of this would have happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"San Remo faced extremely unfair judgments at their home field today, and their anger is justified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, the main referee finally reacted, showing a red card to Lu Yang directly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We see Lu Yang isn’t showing any emotional reaction, his expression is very calm, which means his prior actions might not be a rash decision.
