fits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barça's early playing style coming to the Premier League would not pass the fan test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Arsenal swiftly crossed half the field with Olic's aggressive advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But San Remo's left midfielder Lu Yang disrupted the ball under Olic's feet with a timely tackle in a one-on-one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was their second duel, and Olic suffered another setback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bear in mind, Olic cost Arsenal twenty-eight million euros!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was a direct competitor for purchase with Lu Yang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo fans were jubilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arsenal fans began cursing Lu Yang's recent injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To tackle so cleanly, just recently down in the penalty area and not getting up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Olic indeed felt something was wrong with Lu Yang's left hand... at least it seemed uncomfortable at this stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because on the left, Lu Yang should tackle with his left side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way even if Olic avoids the tackle and wants to cut in, Lu Yang's right hand can immediately pull on Olic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, just now Lu Yang went down on his right side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lu Yang failed in the tackle at that moment, Olic could have cut inside with the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wide defensive player's primary duty is to cover the baseline direction but not allow cutting inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang is a defensive expert, he should understand this principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this light, his choice just now seems intriguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supporting hand needs to aid and balance the body's position...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olic's eyes brightened, signaling to his teammates to keep passing the ball to him later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this, San Remo launched another wave of offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, Arsenal players had abundant energy and speed, although not pressing immediately, they applied considerable defensive pressure once San Remo entered Arsenal's half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This defensive system made it difficult for San Remo to find any opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Morici's long-range shot went wide, the ball possession returned to Arsenal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olic received a pass from his teammate and started advancing on the right flank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhami retreated to press.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo utilized a perfect misplaced+positioned defensive system, focusing on getting back possession up front and applying pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midfield players focused on challenges and pressing, offering substantial defensive pressure, and primarily intercepting the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defensive players focused on encircling opponents, maintaining positions, only actively challenging if supported, otherwise held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with Lam's adaptable attributes between midfield and defense, Kaint and Lu Yang's sweeping attributes, theoretically, this defensive system was perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't provide too much organizing space like positioned defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor would it result in large gaps like misplaced defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was merely theoretical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In practice, some discrepancies would occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, even with a perfect defensive system, it doesn't mean never conceding a goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidence and exceptional play by opponents could still render defense ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olic passed back to midfield Nils, who sent it back to Olic, freeing him from Bai Zhami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by then, Lu Yang had returned to his defensive position and rushed at Olic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olic normally reached out to hold off Lu Yang, facing away from him, seemingly preparing a Marseille Turn to break through on Lu Yang's right, smoothly cutting inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the next moment, the ball at Olic's feet went around his supporting foot and flew left past Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olic also turned left after faking a right turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful feint past the opponent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, such abrupt stops and starts primarily rely on explosive power and first-step ability. Prior movements intend to shift the defender's balance to prevent catching up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Olic didn't anticipate that Lu Yang adjusted his balance excellently, wasn't deceived by the feint, and followed quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, Lu Yang's explosive power didn't lag far behind Olic's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared Olic's breakthrough would fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olic suddenly pushed Lu Yang's left hand away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During breakthroughs, small hand movements between players are entirely normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chelsea's right back Reece James suppressed England's top winger Sterling by pulling his shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Olic's swipe directly slowed the chasing Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang's left hand recoiled instinctively away from Olic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olic seized the chance to outpace Lu Yang and completed the breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici's pupils contracted during the retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang's move just now was... painful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he really injured?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding! Your arm received a strong external hit, injury worsened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding! Superstar Skill Ironman activated, injury temporarily frozen, won't actively worsen...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The presence of Ironman made Lu Yang's injury seem frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet... external force could introduce new complications, resulting in a passive worsening! Turning into a newer harsher injury!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ironman would still freeze new injuries, Lu Yang could feel the pain during this process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ironman allowed Lu Yang not to fear injury, to continue in the match despite hardware damage but couldn't take away the fleeting pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, as long as Lu Yang didn't allow anyone to touch his left arm in the following match, he wouldn't be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>",823,"2026-06-06T13:45:23.672Z",1,"novelbin.me","3f54ec2b3070e4f201ba8ce481546d04c334f298682b5d2410821fb95adeb53d","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-752","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-650",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
