I AM the Football Star-Chapter 526 - 143: Dribbling Trap, Consecutive Scoring Record (Part 4)
"Huh? He got past?"
"Lu Yang accelerates again and gets to the ball before the Ascoli center-back!"
"Split-second dribble! Lu Yang nudges the ball hard, sending it flying to the left of the Ascoli defender while he charges out from the right—leaving the Ascoli center-back stunned!"
"Quick! Lu Yang’s speed is picking up again!"
"Other Ascoli defenders are closing in on Lu Yang, but they’re clearly three strides behind him at least!"
"This is a golden one-on-one opportunity!"
"Lu Yang lifts his foot just outside the penalty area. The Ascoli goalkeeper makes a diving motion, everyone knows Lu Yang’s long range shots are incredibly powerful, earning him the reputation as the King of Long Shots!"
"Indeed! Lu Yang holds a huge advantage in this play, deciding not to shoot. Instead, after the keeper hits the ground, he calmly pushes the ball in the opposite direction."
"The ball moves swiftly; the Ascoli goalkeeper can’t get up in time for a second save."
"One to zero! San Remo takes the lead again!"
"With this conceded goal, Ascoli’s defense line can’t dodge responsibility, especially the center-back who charged forward. He made a fatal mistake, letting Lu Yang bypass him far too easily!"
No one on the pitch can truly feel the disappointment of the Ascoli center-back at this moment.
Clearly, he was once so close to success.
A decision to intercept clashing with the world’s reality.
That untainted sincerity.
And yet... he encountered Lu Yang, the big deceiver.
He got deceived right before his eyes!
Dribbling trap!
It’s a perfect dribbling trap!
Such situations have happened before in a match between Belgium Team vs Japan Team, where world-class and potentially the world’s best midfielder, De Bruyne, employed a similar dribbling trap.
At that time, when he received the ball, he pushed forward from the backfield, long strides with touches every ten meters.
This left plenty of space for an interception.
The Japan Team player made a daring advance.
But he didn’t realize De Bruyne’s true touch distance was actually five meters!
Within the following five meters, De Bruyne was already in control of the ball but consciously chose not to touch it.
If one only looked at De Bruyne’s dribbling rhythm, they’d think it was a touch every ten meters. Yet the real distance is five meters, and with a second acceleration, it’s even four meters.
As the Japanese defender slowed down to tackle, De Bruyne quickly touched the ball, adjusted his angle and made a super direct pass assisting Lukaku upfront to score.
This is the strategic art of dribbling and passing—something many straightforward players can’t master in a lifetime.
Morici also enjoys these clever tricks.
After San Remo’s goal, Ascoli’s fans are in shock.
Are they trailing again?
Against a promoted team?
Is this really a promoted team?
This season in Serie B, the promoted Carpi lost two matches, conceding four goals!
Arezzo has one loss, one draw, ranking outside the top ten.
Isn’t this the posture a promoted team should have?
Another win and it’s a three-game winning streak!
This is excessive!
Fortunately, the commentator didn’t let the venue fall into silence and excitedly said, "Lu Yang continues his brilliant performance from the European Youth Championship. His record of sixty goals throughout last season in the Italian Third Division is both shocking and unbelievable."
"Many believed that his efficiency would drop in Serie B. But... six goals in three games in Serie B! Averaging two goals per game! Lu Yang is proving all his followers wrong—his feet are scorching hot right now!"
"He’s at the top of the Serie B scoring chart, leading the second place by two goals. Especially given this data is achieved while playing as a left midfielder, which leaves many Serie B strikers red-faced!"
"At the same time, once again, Lu Yang challenges the consecutive scoring record. Starting from the Italian Cup final, including four matches in the European Youth Championship, the Italian Super Cup, and three league matches, Lu Yang has completed a nine-game consecutive scoring streak!"
"And this record holder is none other than Lu Yang himself! Last season, spanning the Italian Third Division and the Italian Cup, he scored in twenty-six consecutive matches, setting an unprecedented record!"
"Of course, due to the question of prestige, the current consensus in football is that consecutive scoring records apply only to the Five Major Leagues. The highest consecutive scoring record in these leagues is twenty-one matches."
"While Lu Yang doesn’t yet qualify to challenge this season’s record, we believe in the future, he will certainly aim to break it!"
