I AM the Football Star-Chapter 624 - 163: Call Me the Little Eel of the Forbidden Zone!
Everyone knows that eight million is impossible to take Lu Yang down.
But everyone tacitly did not continue to increase the transfer fee, after all, Lu Yang’s release clause was only ten million euros, so everyone thought to give Lu Yang more preferential treatment in terms of conditions.
As long as Lu Yang nods, San Remo should not set obstacles for Lu Yang’s departure.
This is the respect that a newly rising team must give to the team’s number one star.
Otherwise, the team and the number one star will fall out ugly, and ultimately both lose, tremendously reducing the reputation and fans of both sides, which is very uneconomical.
What can be confirmed is that this winter transfer window, there will definitely be many giants making offers for Lu Yang.
And whether Lu Yang will leave or not, perhaps, has become a problem.
...
On December 23rd, San Remo hosted Sampdoria at home.
San Remo deployed a 433 formation.
Bai Zhami, Sogel, Fernandez
Lu Yang, Lam, Morici
Camihong, Bernulin, Palacios, Canyes
Areola
This lineup of San Remo has the highest margin for error and the most balanced combat power.
But as mentioned before, Lam has just changed from a central defender to a defensive midfielder. Although he has completed integration with the team over nearly half a season, he is still not stable enough in this position.
He has relatively fast speed, but his defensive awareness as a central defender is too intense.
This leads to him having a bit of a "backbone" attribute in the defensive midfield position.
Which means he can hold the defensive midfield position, not easily penetrated from behind, and is not prone to exposing flaws for the opponent to launch a deadly through ball.
Even if sometimes he gets passed, he can quickly chase back.
Having him is equivalent to having a central defender who advances one position, very good.
His vertical protection ability is extremely strong.
But correspondingly, his lateral protection ability is much weaker.
Unlike Latu Yidi.
Latu Yidi’s running ability is too weak, resulting in poor lateral protection ability.
Lam’s issues are purely because of awareness and habits.
In the short term, it’s very difficult for Lam to change.
At this time, pairing him with a defensive player with a huge running range would be simply delightful.
For example, Lu Yang.
Of course, that’s impossible.
But Kaint is just such a defensive player.
This is also why Sotu and Lu Yang agreed to take down Kaint.
Sure enough, in this game, Sampdoria’s midfield core Olma Perotti directly eased forward in the rib area and got a shooting opportunity.
Lam’s lateral move was too slow, leaving a path for the opponent’s shot.
Bernulin raised his foot, but the football had a lot of curvature, bypassing Bernulin’s toe and heading straight for the goal.
One to zero!
Perotti shook the world, scoring a goal in just five minutes, giving Sampdoria the lead.
After this goal, Perotti started a heated celebration, shouting madly at the camera, very excited.
Obviously, this goal wasn’t the reason for him being so excited.
He just wanted to tell everyone through this goal that if he had been in the play-offs instead of Morici, he would have been able to help Italy change fate against all odds and advance to the European Cup!
He, Demon Blade Perotti, has that kind of strength!
Lu Yang and Morici looked at each other, both a bit helpless.
There’s no way around it, in the football world, players with the nickname "Demon Blade" are always very enigmatic.
Sometimes they are inexplicably strong, playing with any method and succeeding.
But sometimes they are ordinary or even perform poorly.
Players like this, with large fluctuations in form, are only suited to be surprise players, not core players.
This is probably an important reason why Sampdoria were relegated last season despite having a strong central forward.
The substitutes’ spots in football are very precious, and the substituted player cannot come back on like in basketball. So the use efficiency of this kind of "Demon Blade" player isn’t maximized.
Therefore, using Demon Blade players in football has become a real gamble.
Trying to develop a player like Demon Blade Ginobili in basketball within football rules is impossible.
The closest example is probably Lin Huang.
Coming off the bench, succeeding no matter how he plays.
But this is just a period for Lin Huang, luck plays a big part.
And today’s San Remo obviously encountered a lucky Demon Blade Perotti.
That shot was completely unreasonable.
To handle this situation, Lu Yang quietly retreated from the attacking midfield position to the defensive midfield position.
For some reason, once Lu Yang returned, Lam’s heart settled down.
"Perotti, Perotti with the ball, Camihong is very nervous... low cut! Perotti cuts inside, Camihong defended incorrectly, he defended the baseline, and now he can’t catch up with Perotti!"
"Rib position, great opportunity, Perotti raises his foot... no, it’s a fake shot and real breakthrough! Bernulin was passed by Perotti!"
"Brilliant dribble, Perotti enters the penalty area, he..."
Bang!
A slide tackle!
The football was precisely poked away.
Perotti fell in the penalty area.
But Lu Yang, who just tackled the ball from under Perotti’s feet, immediately got up and quickly left the penalty area with the football.
The main referee indicated that it was a legal challenge and not a foul.
Perotti complained in the penalty area.
"Perotti thinks this was a penalty, but through the replay, we can see that Lu Yang’s tackle was very clean! This was a bold and careful defense!"
"You know, Lu Yang is different from ordinary golden boot players, he has won tackle king and interception king! His defensive skills are very solid!"
