I AM the Football Star

Chapter 85: Chapter 35: C Luo, C Luo, and Still C Luo! (2)

”Lu Yang scored twice, knocking down Tulis’ right-back with a powerful shot, the ball went through the goalkeeper’s legs and plunged into the net!”

”This was a brilliant personal performance! At this moment, he seemed to have the spirit of Serie A divine strikers like Carrel, Ancelotti, and Perrotta! He’s not fighting alone!”

”This was definitely a powerful strike, he’s brought a glimmer of hope for San Remo to claim the championship!”

”San Remo tenaciously equalized the score, both sides are 3-3, there are six minutes left in stoppage time, San Remo still has a chance!”

”Tulis played too conservatively in the last few minutes, they will pay for their complacent mindset!”

”San Remo’s overall performance may not have been as good as Tulis, but just looking at the period after Lu Yang’s injury, San Remo undoubtedly had the upper hand.”

”They fought with the spirit of the players, like a wounded beast, ferocious and strong!”

”This is the second time today that Lu Yang retrieved the ball from Tulis’ goal, he’s fighting with an injury but growing braver, he deserves the respect of all who love soccer!”

”Oh, we can see Sofia on the sidelines, wildly celebrating Lu Yang’s goal. Did this goddess bring Lu Yang strength?”

”Maybe Sofia doesn’t know that the jersey in her hand belongs to Lu Yang, she may not even know Lu Yang, but after this match, she will surely fall in love with Lu Yang! Every San Remo fan will love Lu Yang!”

”He can do anything! He never gives up!”

...

The players of Tulis were also getting nervous.

They can win, maybe even draw, but they cannot lose.

As long as they don’t lose, they are champions of the Italian D League.

But if San Remo wins, they will reverse Tulis with 78 points, climbing to the top by one point.

The trophy that’s within reach, there’s no reason to give it away!

Moreover, San Remo’s consecutive goals have once again angered the Tulis players.

Do you really think you can win?

We just don’t want to go all out.

If you really want to push us to fight, then bring it on!

Tulis replaced their right-back, he slipped to the ground, pulled his thigh muscle, and looks unlikely to play soccer in the short term. Not everyone can overcome injuries on the pitch like Lu Yang.

After Tulis started again, they began organizing their offense, and this time they played quite hard.

In no time, San Remo’s advantage was neutralized.

The pitch seemed like a slaughterhouse, players from both sides collided, making it almost impossible for anyone to control the ball for long.

The possession of the ball kept alternating in a short time.

But amid this chaos, Morici showcased his expertise in chaotic play.

The ball rarely got away from him, he’s incredibly quick and can release the ball fast.

And whenever possession was lost, he could immediately step in to reclaim it. In these three or four minutes of chaos, his role was no less significant than Lu Yang’s contribution on defense.

The efforts of the two defensive powerhouses subtly tipped the balance slightly in favor of San Remo.

”We...” Tom looked at the clock, only one minute left.

”We can win!” Sotu observed the field, ”The situation is chaotic for both sides, formations have scattered, there’s no organized play. But... Morici has the ability for quick passes, his semi-turn pass and shoot can certainly break through the opponent’s defense in such a setting!”

Tom said, ”But Morici’s ability like this isn’t stable, his error rate with such passes is high, which is why he rarely uses it in matches.”

After all, he had to mind his stats, Morici knew how important stats are for young players.

Some coaching staff even judge the excellence of a midfielder based on stats, not by watching the situation.

For winning a match, an opportunity to penetrate the opponent’s defense is worth everything.

But from the perspective of a midfielder, some people think that impressive passing statistics are even more superior.

These are two different schools of thought, and currently, the latter prevails, Morici is unable to overthrow it and can only comply.

But inherently, his pursuit of fast passing and shooting, a lethal one-strike mentality, has never been obliterated.

So...

Bang!

Morici, with his back to the opponent’s goal, won possession and without looking around, instantly performed a quick semi-turn pass and shoot!

It seemed like a regular clearance.

But it magically found an open space—the top left corner of the opponent’s large penalty arc.

And there, Lu Yang had already positioned himself.

Bow bent, arrow ready!

Bang!

Lu Yang missed the football!

He was brutally brought down by the retreating Tulis central forward!

Lu Yang didn’t roll on the ground but immediately got up and charged at the opponent with his chest.

The opponent didn’t back down.

There was a trace of desolation in his eyes: ”I did everything I could, you lost!”

Lu Yang waved his hand, telling teammates intending to get involved to stand aside because he saw the same thing in the eyes of this Tulis central forward.

It was the desire for victory.

He used everything at his disposal but fully abided by the rules.

He knew what awaited him, but he still did it resolutely, just to stop Lu Yang’s attack.

From Tulis’ perspective, this central forward is the greatest hero of the match.

Such a player, if in your team, you’d love him to death.

But in someone else’s team, you’d hate him to death.

There are quite a few such players, they are controversial, but they are immensely loyal to the game. Those notorious hardmen in major leagues are often like this.
