I AM the Football Star

Morici glared fiercely.

Alright, Brother Lu has the final say.

So, the San Remo players surged forward as soon as they gained possession.

With a numerical advantage, they were able to bring the ball to the front.

However, they couldn’t afford to concede a goal, otherwise the only ones to stop the goal would be the three center-backs.

For a moment, the counterattacks from both sides became even more intense.

Pavovsky had two shots, one just slightly over the crossbar, and the other was blocked by Palacios with his foot, sending it out for a corner.

But in return, from San Remo’s side, Kaint also managed to swing his leg twice, with one shot on target, but it was saved by the opponent’s goalkeeper.

84th minute.

San Remo launched a dual-wing attack.

The two forwards naturally pulled to the sides.

Kaint and Lam simultaneously pressed forward, executing a switch on the left and right flanks.

Lu and Canyes simultaneously inserted through the ribs, causing Bremen’s defensive line to tremble in confusion.

Facing the pressing defense, Morici made a swift turn and rocket pass shot!

Even without a central forward for a switch, he still had the capability to pass, which was Morici’s personal complement to the team’s tactics.

Bam!

The ball was lobbed perfectly to Lu’s side.

However, Lu was closely marked by the opponent’s midfielders, while their central defender pushed up decisively to block Lu.

But they had overlooked the reason for Morici’s pass on this side.

In terms of absolute speed, Lu was slower than Canyes.

Even factoring in physical confrontations, Lu’s impact was strong, but why did Morici insist on this side?

The answer was Bai Zhami!

Bai Zhami made a positional switch and pulled back, and after Lu charged in, he too decided to advance.

While Lu was being obstructed, Bai Zhami beside him had already rushed forward.

Such a chain attack, Lu and Bai Zhami had indeed executed before.

Occasionally in matches, they played as dual left-wingers, sometimes one would cut in while the other reached the byline, but sometimes both would cut in.

Bai Zhami broke into the penalty area, clear-cut chance achieved.

Bam!

Bai Zhami’s solo strike could always be trusted!

Goal!

The score was 4-1!

Total score: San Remo 5, Werder Bremen 3.

Pavovsky’s counterattack call vanquished.

Werder Bremen’s players let out wails towards the sky.

Too late!

Way too late!

With less than ten minutes remaining, three goals were impossible to recover.

San Remo played fiercely today!

Though everyone knew there were many holes in San Remo’s fierce attack, they couldn’t catch them because they couldn’t withstand San Remo’s strong push!

Time ticked away, and with three whistles, the match officially ended.

San Remo, after losing at home in the first leg, secured a massive away victory in the second leg against Bremen, powerfully advancing.

Into the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals!

Post-match, Bremen’s coach was at a loss for words about the match: ”I don’t know what went wrong, I don’t want to criticize our players because they are excellent and did their best.”

”But purely from a tactical perspective, our players indeed made many mistakes, constantly losing track of their defensive targets for no reason.”

”My half-time reminders did not change this.”

”This is football; this is already a result we have to accept. I can’t expect the fans to understand everything, but I can only say that we will give our all in the upcoming matches!”

The coach was straightforward and didn’t make excuses.

But he knew he probably wouldn’t last long in this position.

Even though he was confident the club wouldn’t fire him this season, because it was clear that Pavovsky would transfer to Bayern at the end of the season.

At this time, with the team’s star player leaving, at least keeping the head coach was crucial for the team’s stability.

The club didn’t need to worry about the fans’ anger, as the one taking Pavovsky was Bayern Munich. In the Bundesliga, no team can resist Bayern Munich’s scavenging, and non-Bayern fans in the Bundesliga need to get accustomed to this.

But without Pavovsky, Werder Bremen’s performance next season would surely decline; no need to even think about it.

And this coach was ultimately going to be the scapegoat at that time.

The buyer can never be as savvy as the seller.

In world football, there aren’t many coaches and players who can outsmart the club.

Werder Bremen’s central forward Pavovsky, in an interview, also said: ”This San Remo made it hard for us to play; they were obviously different from last match.”

Journalist: ”What do you think about the competition between you and Lu? Lu now has eleven goals in the UEFA Europa League, leading the Europa League’s scoring chart!”

Pavovsky: ”He’s as outstanding as ever, just like in the European Youth Championship, if not stronger. Of course, I’m also improving, and we will meet again at the right time; I’m confident I’ll be the ultimate winner then.”

Journalist: ”You’re so confident, is it because you’ve already confirmed a transfer to Bayern Munich after this season? Do you have an estimate of your future salary? What conditions did Bayern offer you...”

Pavovsky: ”Sorry, this has nothing to do with the match.”

Journalist: ”Then, have you already reached an understanding with Bayern because we heard...”

Pavovsky: ”We still have this season’s league and German Cup; I don’t want to mention other teams now.”

...

On the other side, Italian media was all joyful.

Because both Italian teams in the Europa League advanced.

Just like San Remo, Inter also made it to the next round.

No one noticed the bizarre overloading from San Remo in this match.

If you adjust San Remo’s two wing midfielders’ positions slightly to fit this match’s formation, you would realize.

Lu, with his two goals and an assist, and Canyes, providing an assist, were essentially ”full-back” players!

For two full-backs to deliver such stats, any team would be stunned.

But this time, world football was blinded by the 352.

If it was 532, they might pay more attention.

However, after tasting success, San Remo began designing more chain-switch plays in training.

Sotu and Old Tom, those two tinkerers, really watched a lot of basketball games and came up with quite a few positional switch ideas.

But what’s the difference between a tactical master and a tactician?

The latter can only organize tactics, while the former knows how to adapt and use tactics suitably.

San Remo’s attempt unquestionably failed.

At this stage, they couldn’t handle any more tactical switch variations.

The players would be confused.

It’s said that in Guardiola’s team, the thickness of the players’ tactical movement manual is unmatched.

You then realize that while positional switching sounds easy, doing it is extremely difficult, especially when entering an infinite switching mode later on!
