defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was about to enter the attacking third, a spark of inspiration struck Canyes as he saw Lu Yang running on the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No cutting inside, no heading to the end line, a direct diagonal forty-five degree pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang at the edge of the attacking third on the left flank received the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang played a Rabona with his left foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like he would go to the end line, but in reality, he was cutting inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball went through the legs of the opposing defender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replicated Ferreira's earlier fancy dribble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang started his cut inside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opposing player tried to tug at Lu Yang, but unlike Kaint, they weren't decisive, and Lu Yang was much stronger in duels than Ferreira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang swatted away the opponent's little hand pulling his jersey, cutting into the left side of the penalty box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent's center back came out aggressively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang stopped the ball, then used his right foot to roll the ball in a full circle to the left, seeming like he was going from cutting inside to going to the end line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to the end line from this position was very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to the end line on the wing usually only allows for a cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some insist on rushing into the penalty area from there, but the success rate is too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if you go to the end line from a step within the penalty box's vertical line, you could either pass or shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many superstars score from such small angles, going to the end line and then blasting the ball into the goal from near the baseline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Vinicius and Salah both scored such small-angle goals from the left and right sides of the penalty box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The center back followed Lu Yang's movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Lu Yang's right foot had already stepped to his left foot's left side, it was definitely a direction change to the end line, leaving no other option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang's left foot whipped out quickly and swiftly brought it down to heel the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball immediately switched from \"right to left\" to \"left to right,\" bouncing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Side pull heel touch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a seemingly simple technical move, but it was difficult to execute and had a great effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players whose basics aren't solid can easily mess themselves up using this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cristiano Ronaldo, at the edge of the penalty box, often stumbled with his fancy moves on Rabonas and side pull heel touches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move either claims a victim or injures the user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arsenal's left-back Kieran Tierney once showed how clumsy a technical mishap could be on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A picture could be included here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang continued cutting inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This side pull heel touch turned Lu Yang's cutting route into a lightning bolt, like the one on Harry Potter's forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The route was winding, but the target remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as Lu Yang pulled left, Porto's second center back moved over to cover for his teammate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Yang completed the move, he met the second Porto center back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang slowed down again, stepping on the ball with his right foot and pulling it left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like he might repeat the previous technical move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Porto's center back wouldn't be fooled again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best time to intercept was when Lu Yang's right foot landed and his left foot lifted to heel the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the center back never waited for this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this time, Lu Yang hadn't put his right foot down yet and directly kicked the ball in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Side pull and abrupt stop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking half a step back and kicking the ball away again added a fake move between pulling the ball and dribbling past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could see this move as a slow-motion version of a Rabona flick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move is slower than a direct touch dribble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But faster than a side pull heel touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang was just that bit faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He broke past the center back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breakthrough path resembled lightning again, but this lightning was a bit smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's basically equivalent to the \"continuous curve\" road sign in the country, similar to but slanting to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dribbled past three players in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Lu Yang, there was no obstacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful shot from the center of the penalty box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Batigoal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Porto's goalie could only be thankful for diving the wrong way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or he would've been doomed or injured!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done! This is an artistic goal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One to one! Lu Yang dribbled past three to score, and San Remo equalized at home!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ferreira's world-class strike was indeed a Miracle Ball. But Lu Yang's series of lightning breakthroughs felt like God playing football! Truly Immortal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rabona, side pull heel touch, side pull and abrupt stop! Lu Yang accomplished a technical triple combo even I can't do in FIFA!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So strong! This is what Sotu relies on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the 3-5-2 formation strong? It's all about how good your wing-backs are! And whether it's Canyes or Lu Yang, both can make San Remo's attack soar on both wings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this offensive momentum, what can Porto do to defend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One to one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first half score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although San Remo didn't score again, they were already gaining the upper hand in offensive momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their large-scale transfer and pulling made Porto exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the time were longer and their attack more refined, Porto might concede more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was also Porto's lucky point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During halftime, Porto's Head Coach adjusted the team's tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ferreira couldn't handle that little scamp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he shifted the attack center, focusing more on linking up and allocating some attacking resources to the right side of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ferreira agreed but felt a sense of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant, in the Head Coach's eyes, he was no longer the one to secure victory for the team. He had to start supporting and letting others step up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ferreira wasn't unable to accept it; he just hated this feeling of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-06T13:45:22.578Z",1,"novelbin.me","928a7e961e98d3feae08b793be1e0ad614689d10d50edd0f1c8d51351d636149","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-643","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-641",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
