After the team’s right forward got the ball, he passed it back to Morici and started to advance forward. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveIＦire.net
San Remo’s right-side attack instantly opened up.
Foggia’s defensive players focused all their attention on San Remo’s right forward and Morici.
However, Morici suddenly made a long pass to the left side.
In that position, Vedian was sprinting wildly.
Receiving the ball means a direct face-off with the goalkeeper!
A light chipped shot, Vedian scores.
San Remo leads two to zero!
Compared to their previous defensive counterattacks, San Remo’s offense finally entered a more structured phase.
The right-side feint attack was definitely not just a feint; if Foggia failed to keep up, Morici would pass to the right forward, who could then cut in or cross, creating a threatening attack.
In the subsequent match, Foggia’s players attempted to initiate a counterattack after kick-off.
But being two goals behind made them a bit anxious; they wanted to penetrate San Remo’s defense with a straight pass without fully organizing.
However, under the defensive coordination of Lu Yang and Rondo in the middle and backfield, they repeatedly lost possession.
The first half of the match was nearing its end.
San Remo’s left side stirred up a storm again.
Morici once again made a precision pass to Vedian.
But this time Foggia’s right-back kept up with Vedian, who passed the ball back to the approaching team’s left-back.
The opposing midfielder went to intercept.
However, Lu Yang unexpectedly also moved up.
San Remo’s left-back returned the ball to Lu Yang.
At that moment, there were actually three San Remo players in such a small area at Foggia’s back right.
The opposing midfielder lunged at Lu Yang while Foggia’s center-back came to support against San Remo’s left-back.
Foggia’s defense was well-organized, leaving San Remo with no opportunity.
According to a normal person’s thinking, Lu Yang should now pass back to Morici in the defensive midfielder position to reorganize the attack.
After all, Morici is the only one in San Remo capable of organizing an attack.
However, Lu Yang nudged the football slightly forward to the left, looking as if he was preparing to go down the baseline.
The opposing midfielder almost laughed out loud.
Lu Yang’s ball control is indeed good, but to say he has the ability to break through is a bit of a stretch.
His absolute speed is not quite fast.
Breakthroughs often rely on the V-shaped Pull.
As long as the opponent doesn’t tackle, Lu Yang can’t dribble past anyone.
Otherwise, why would the cooperation between Lu Yang and Morici consist of give-and-gos rather than individual breakthroughs?
Because Morici has this ability, while Lu Yang does not.
So Lu Yang couldn’t possibly make a bottom cross; he couldn’t bypass Foggia’s midfielder’s defense.
To be precise, neither Vedian nor the team’s left-back beside Lu Yang at the moment have the ability for one-on-one explosive take-ons.
Vedian, besides his speed, is not particularly strong at dribbling past opponents.
Therefore, Foggia’s midfielder concluded Lu Yang was feinting towards the left baseline and would then clip the ball inward to the right to look for a chance to pass or shoot.
After all, Lu Yang’s shooting is skillful; if he cuts in successfully, a two-step dribble to shoot from outside the right side of the penalty area can be very threatening.
No one has forgotten the opening rapid descent shot.
And indeed, Lu Yang’s body began to tilt to the right.
This was the motion preparing to dribble to break through to the right.
A very rough breakthrough action, devoid of any technique.
Foggia’s midfielder quickly blocked Lu Yang’s right-side space.
But at this moment, the football flew up from his right side, which was Lu Yang’s left side.
Sliding out with a not-so-pleasant curvature.
San Remo’s central forward, unguarded, leaped high and smashed the football fiercely into the opponent’s goal with his head.
San Remo leads by a large margin at halftime, three to zero!
