The team doctor started wrapping Lu Yang's arm with a specially designed bandage with some firmness.

Football regulations state that players cannot have anything hard or easy to fall off except for shin guards, face masks, etc., to prevent additional injuries.

So Lu Yang's arm cannot be in a splint, only wrapped with a bandage.

The effect is somewhat less, but after it's done, it can keep the bone stable during normal contact.

For an ordinary person, this treatment wouldn't be effective.

But for Lu Yang, as long as his bone does not dislocate again, he is as good as new.

"Oh! Lu Yang seems to have an issue with his arm. It looks like it's from the collision before that goal in the first minute, not sure if he'll be able to continue."

"San Remo hasn't substituted Lu Yang out; he's treating his injury on the sidelines. San Remo faces Arsenal with ten men, and they are holding possession to buy time for Lu Yang's return."

"Arsenal is pressing hard here; their players are eager to score. They've found their rhythm. Their pressing is very active!"

"San Remo lost the ball! Nils fouled Morici! It's a set piece opportunity."

"Morici is wasting time before taking the free kick and gets a warning from the main referee. Morici takes the set piece, and it's back to passing in the backfield, this negative gameplay behavior eliciting boos from the Arsenal side."

"Oh! Arsenal fans are starting to curse! When two ball-control teams face off, this kind of situation always arises, but we didn't expect it to happen so soon!"

Everyone hates passing back and forth aimlessly.

It's so boring.

Especially when Arsenal is the side wanting to attack.

They hope San Remo will complete an attack with a few big kicks, allowing the play to switch sides.

But San Remo isn't giving them what they want, so they naturally start cursing San Remo fans.

"Does that guy Morici only know how to back pass?"

"What a rubbish midfielder, no wonder Barรงa is interested in him!"

Don't doubt the rivalry between Arsenal and Barรงa; if possible, Arsenal would happily offer Barรงa a 7-UP and Rafael wine!

"This Lu Yang is so fragile! Injured just like that?"

"All the hype before the game, but he seems average now!"

"Lu Yang saying Mr. Winter's judgment has declined seems spot on. This Lu Yang is so crappy, why does Mr. Winter value him so much!" ๐’‡๐™ง๐™š๐“ฎ๐”€๐“ฎ๐’ƒ๐™ฃ๐“ธ๐’—๐’†๐’.๐™˜๐’๐’Ž

"Now I suddenly think Nils was right, who is Lu Yang? Besides the first minute, I haven't seen him perform at all this match!"

"Who is Lu Yang!"

"Who is Lu?"

The Arsenal fans in the stadium began chanting this phrase together.

Soon the voices were unified.

Who is Lu Yang?

Really?

Arsenal fans used this taunt to fervently vent their dissatisfaction.

Of course, there was also some regret over previously not managing to package deals for Morici and Lu Yang.

It's best if what you can't have, rots away.

This is the selfish side of human nature.

Finally, amidst the questions of Arsenal fans, the bandaged Lu Yang returned to the field.

Lu Yang took a glance at Mr. Winter before going on.

Mr. Winter outwardly calm, was inwardly cursing MMP.

Has this kid been provoked?

Fans, have some manners.

If you provoke Lu Yang casually, that's one thing, but during a match, provoking him, he tends to retaliate fiercely!

Sure enough.

In the ensuing dozens of minutes, Lu Yang turned into a defensive maniac.

Olic never once got past him again.

In several consecutive one-on-one duels, Olic was defended against by Lu Yang.

No...not just defended, but intercepted!

Olic found it very difficult to hold the ball in front of Lu Yang.

Arsenal's right-wing was brutally shut down by Lu Yang.

After opening the corridor on Arsenal's right, Lu Yang forcibly closed it in less than fifteen minutes.

As a result, Arsenal had to focus their attack on Rubeus's side.

But with Hoyt cooperating with Rubeus, his speed and agility pale compared to Walter, achieving little under the defense of Canyes, Kaint, Camihong, and Naji.

During this time, Lu Yang initiated three counterattacks.

A long-range shot from outside, creating a corner kick.

A bottom cross, with Sogel heading it off target.

A cross in front of the goal, unfortunately, the ball was too fast, and Bai Zhami misjudged, sending the ball flying into the stands.

All three were very threatening.

Arsenal fans no longer asked who Lu Yang was.

It felt like if they kept asking, San Remo would equalize.

If the first half hadn't ended, perhaps San Remo's stormy attack could have indeed resulted in a goal.

...

During halftime, Arsenal began their tactical discussion.

They must address the problem posed by Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was too dominant.

Both defensively and offensively, he almost owned the entire left side of the field!

Even a star like Olic was rendered ineffective under Lu Yang's pressure.

This was simply a dominant performance.

Olic himself sensibly expressed his wish to avoid Lu Yang.

So, Mr. Winter made a slight adjustment, letting right central midfielder Nils and right winger Olic switch positions, as they could both play in each other's spots.

But Olic is much stronger, so he had priority on positioning, and Nils was moved to the midfield he disliked.

Being able to switch back now made Nils very happy.

"Moruno! Keep close to Lu Yang! His breakthroughs are very sudden and extremely fast, but if you maintain distance, your speed is enough to catch up to him!" Mr. Winter specifically advised his right back.
