Lu Yang’s roar instantly ignited the entire stadium.
Yes!
In this city of sunshine, there has been too much gloom in the past couple of weeks.
All around were dismissive looks from others.
Every Saint Remo person had long wanted to let out such a roar.
At this moment, in the Sanremo City Stadium, cheers erupted, applause thundered.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! This goal is a testament to the team’s wisdom and also the best demonstration of Lu Yang’s personal ability."
"Latu Yidi’s quick free kick was extremely clever!"
"Bai Zhami opting to hand the ball to Lu Yang instead of crossing it was perhaps his most insightful moment this season."
"Brescia’s central defender was decisive, but he encountered the even more decisive Lu Yang."
"A direct chip, without a shred of hesitation or retreat, Lu Yang has immense confidence in himself."
"When Lu Yang landed, from the footage we can see, Brescia’s central defender actually made a pulling motion on Lu Yang’s calf. If Lu Yang had fallen at this moment, this central defender risked a red card."
"But Lu Yang didn’t! Like the King of Purple Lilies Carrel, as long as there’s a shooting opportunity, he wouldn’t even exchange for a penalty."
"Lu Yang, despite stumbling, took a lead on the volley. He knew that once the ball dropped, he might also fall, so this was his only shooting chance."
"This ball defied physics, soaring like an anti-aircraft cannon, but Lu Yang’s exquisite technique and clever use of his foot allowed the ball to dive rapidly from a high point."
"This is a miracle ball, no one could stop it! Brescia’s goalkeeper was utterly helpless, he didn’t even have time to react!"
"One to zero! San Remo takes the lead!"
"Previously, Lu Yang seemed to struggle a bit in several matches of the Italian Third Division, but at this moment, he seemed to be back in that unstoppable season in the Italian D Division!"
"However, it’s important to know that Brescia is a strong Serie B team; they’re not an Italian D Division team. Therefore, Lu Yang’s goal is even more commendable."
The home commentator was extremely excited.
He’s back.
The emperor of San Remo is back!
From Lu Yang’s first touch today, the home fans had a premonition, and now, that premonition has finally come true.
Lu Yang really is back!
...
Beep!
With the referee’s whistle, the match continued.
Brescia never thought they would fall behind, though the early rounds of the Italian Cup aren’t that important, and Brescia mostly used substitute players.
But that’s on a strategic level.
From the players’ perspective, no one likes to lose, except for gamblers.
Brescia began a counterattack.
But this only increased Lu Yang’s running distance and didn’t have much effect.
Latu Yidi disrupted many of Arnold’s attacks, his experience allowed him to neutralize most of the dangers in the first seventy minutes.
Unless he falls into a stamina crisis, Arnold won’t get a chance.
Fortieth minute of the first half.
Latu Yidi intercepted in the backfield and directly long-passed to Bai Zhami near the midfield line.
Bai Zhami passed back to Lu Yang, who stepped up to support, and Lu Yang wall-passed, kicking the ball forward.
Bai Zhami successfully received the ball and carried it all the way to the attacking third.
The opposing right-back closely followed Bai Zhami, and the right center-back advanced to near the penalty box line to prevent Lu Yang from taking another shot from this area.
Bai Zhami passed back to Lu Yang, who then passed back to the midfield to Versachi.
Versachi passed to Fernandez, and it was another routine offensive transition.
Brescia’s midfield shifted from the left to the right, pressing Fernandez.
Lu Yang came up with another wall pass, helping Fernandez bypass the opposing midfield.
His horizontal movement was particularly frequent and extensive today.
Fernandez successfully reached the bottom line and directly crossed the ball.
Sogel successfully contested for the point in the middle, but he didn’t head directly for the goal because his position was a bit too forward, and he couldn’t turn his body enough to shoot directly.
He chose to redirect the ball to the right side of the penalty box area.
There, having just linked up with Fernandez, Lu Yang arrived just in time.
Facing the ball, Lu Yang, without any hesitation, used his left foot for another volley shoot.
Bang!
The ball flew unimpeded straight into the top left corner of the net.
For a moment, the Sanremo City Stadium echoed with crazy roars.
Another goal!
They were leading by two goals!
If San Remo’s first goal was a flash of brilliance from three players, an outstanding performance, then this time, it was a victory based on their tactics.
They abandoned the playmaker style of utilizing the midfield and employed the simplest tactics to create threats.
With Lu Yang’s frequent support, they activated the front field, using both wings.
Finally, with a single shot, Lu Yang sealed the game, completing the finale.
This style of play isn’t high-level, but it’s what Lu Yang is very accustomed to.
Not all cores are willing to move around to support all players.
Many cores, once they have the ball, want everyone to serve him.
But Lu Yang, this front-field core, is a player willing to serve all his teammates.
This is why he touches the ball frequently, yet his actual ball control time isn’t that long.
His one-touch passes are very clean, making it impossible for Brescia to press and double-team him.
No one will press a player who doesn’t hold onto the ball.
Pressing Lu Yang would be less effective than pressing Bai Zhami, Fernandez, Versachi, Latu Yidi, and others.
