Chapter 26 Playing Like a King(1/2)
In the 34th round of the Italian League, San Remo Municipal Stadium.
In today's stadium, the media reached its peak of its history.
Even the press conference held here after Suotu took office was not as luxurious as this time.
"Live Ball", "Rome Sports", "Italian Football Review", "Italian National Sports", "Milan Sports", "Kickers"... These famous Italian media were present today.
Sure enough, they soon found the protagonists of today in the fan vintage seat.
Manelo and Carlisle!
Two people were wearing suits and tie, chatting and laughing.
What is surprising is that Carlisle actually has staff members from the Purple Lily scout department, senior scout Louis.
This makes Hans' previous article more credible.
"Maniro, are you sure that the child can withstand such a lot of pressure?" Carlisle looked at the San Remo players who were warming up on the court, one of which was 1.81 yellow-skinned player, who was particularly conspicuous.
Because he and another 1.72-meter-72-meter-long player stood at the farthest position in the half court, and then they kept passing each other to each other, going back and forth.
It was Lu Yang and Molic.
What's surprising is that both of them have very stable long passes.
When Moric passes the ball to Lu Yang, he often adds some technical small moves to show his superb balance control ability.
This is his fight back to some pre-match rumors.
Some people say that they want to let him know the cruelty of professional football in this game, some people threaten him, and Molic will use his outstanding skills to tell the other party that I have the strength to overcome you, so if you have the kindness, come and try it!
Similarly, Lu Yang's pass was not as technical as Moric before the ball, but his pass was quite accurate, especially considering that he was a defensive midfielder who was a central defender.
"It seems that I'm over-thinking." Carlisle burst into laughter. "Is he telling the opponents in this way that he also has the ability to support and launch an offense, so as to help that little Magnero share the pressure on defensively?"
Maniro smiled.
Because of his previous praise, many people now know that Molic is somewhat similar to Magnero when he was young.
"He and Manelo's technical characteristics are not exactly the same." Luis, a Purple Lily Ball Cunning, said. "Moric's control of the court is much worse than that of Manelo when he was young, but this is covered by him with running."
"But in the high-level competition, the running range of both sides has increased greatly, and he will have much less opportunities. This is the core reason why many teams are not optimistic about him, not just his thin figure of 1.72 meters."
Maniro nodded, this is something that many people ignore.
The low-level league has a slow pace and low pressure. Being able to become a midfield commander here does not mean that you can still be in the high-level league. Because the opportunity to the high-level league is fleeting and not everyone can seize it.
"But Molic's fast pass is actually very good! Especially his half-turned volleyball pass, I think this is different from other midfield commanders." Manelo said, "I don't have such technical characteristics, and I didn't require me in that era. But with the acceleration of the offense and defense pace in football, this may become his core competitiveness in the future."
Louis frowned: "I've seen his passing, his ability is not stable enough, he has not fully understood the way of passing. And... it's difficult for others to adapt to his passing, too fast for the enemy, and the same is true for their own people."
Manelo: "There will be people adapting, but no one adapts now because Yiding's overall level is too low."
Louis nodded, not necessarily agreeing, but he had a more thought.
After all, Maniro is the dual brain of Italy and Juventus. His vision in football is much longer and more accurate than ordinary people.
"Don't you comment on my successor?" Carlisle forced the topic back to Lu Yang. "Louis, you strongly recommended Zi Lily to buy me. You know me so much, so the senior management asked you to come this time, probably because you hope you can focus on this crown prince."
Hans's articles were very popular, and Florence also kept a high attention to everything related to Carlisle, so he specially sent Louis over.
Louis shook his head, "Carlisle, he is not you. I have studied his technical characteristics. He has played in the centre-back like you, and you have nothing in common."
"Even your best shot is completely different from his sharp drop shooting. He does not have any forward-level and midfield-level dribbling ability, breakthrough ability, and ability to get rid of it. V-shaped ball pulling is just the most basic touching skills. Once it is well-known, it will be difficult to get rid of it."
"Maybe his stop and pass are of a certain level, but such a player cannot be a center!"
"In fact, his technical characteristics are not so much like the Crown Prince of Purple Lily as a bankrupt butcher!"
Carlisle was stunned.
How come my successor became a little butcher?
But looking at the picture on the coach's seat, all this seems to be explained.
It seems that this trip I came here to reminisce about Maniro.
The Crown Prince said it was purely hype.
...
Beep!
With the referee's whistle, the match between San Remo, who is ranked fifth in the standings vs. Potanta, who is ranked seventh in the standings officially began!
Just three minutes into the kick-off, Moric was knocked down by the opponent's midfielder in a fight.
At that time, Molic had clearly passed the football, but the opponent "failed to brake in time" and knocked Molic over.
The opponent's No. 8 midfielder is a defensive expert with fierce style.
"Hey, man, I've already posted the ball!" Molic complained a little.
Whether it is intentional or not is the best judgement on the court.
"Then you will get the ball earlier next time." The opponent's No. 8 player did not apologize.
"What did you say? If you have the kind, please say it again!" Lu Yang pushed up. He was taller than the other party and stronger than the other party. He directly pressed the other party with his chest, causing the other party to stagger.
"Hehehe, be honest with me!" The referee came over and shouted to Lu Yang and the opponent's No. 8 player.
The two sides immediately dispersed.
The commentators also set a tough tone for this game.
"Oh, we can see that Molic was knocked down again, this time it was Potanta's captain Boggs. He broke two stumps before the game and then tagged Molic, I thought it was the threat of Red Fruit!"
"Lu Yang went up again. This is the third time he has gone up today to argue with the opponent's players. It can be seen that his relationship with Moric is really good, and he is very angry."
"If it weren't for Lu Yang's tough attitude, Molic might have been violated more. Potanta's tactic today is to freeze Molic, and it is not just a tactical freeze."
"Borgs is much stronger than Lu Yang, but Lu Yang was not at a disadvantage during the fight. They evenly matched!"
"Lu Yang performed much more like the captain today than the second captain of the team! Rondo was not here today, but Lu Yang held up the tough side of San Remo!"
The last five minutes of the first half.
Moric dribbled through.
Potanta's No. 8 player rushed towards Molic in an attempt to use foul tactics.
But Lu Yang stuck his position in advance and blocked the other party.
Moric got a good chance, and he dribbled two more steps and he would get a good shot.
But at this moment, Boggs put the shovel on his face.
Molic fell heavily to the ground.
Beep!
The referee whistle sounded.
This is a foul action.
But it's very cost-effective, because the free kick in this position is not a threat.
Before the fans could even boo, a figure rushed towards Boggs.
"Are you playing football or someone?" Lu Yang pushed Boggs directly with both hands, overturning the tall Boggs to the ground.
Boggs immediately stood up and rushed towards Lu Yang.
The two people collided, and kept pushing each other's chest with their hands, without retreating.
The rest of the team surrounded him, and the atmosphere was very tense.
The referee decisively gave Lu Yang a yellow card.
But after seeing Lu Yang's angry eyes, he also gave Boggs the yellow card.
But the reasons are different.
Lu Yang received a yellow card because of his pushing action.
Boggs received a yellow card for a rough foul on Moric.
In fact, the referee's verdict in this game is relatively loose, which may be his style, but it also makes the gunpowder smell stronger and stronger on the court.
Previously, at least two players of Potanca deserved yellow cards, but neither of them called.
Even this time, if Lu Yang had not received a yellow card, the referee might not have given Boggs a yellow card, which was a yellow card to find balance. He also knew that if he did not give Potanta's yellow card, the San Remo players might be extremely dissatisfied with him.
Look at Lu Yang who was staring at him, look at the butcher Suotu who was shouting on the sidelines, and look at the angry audience.
In order to ensure that he could still walk out of the stadium alive, the referee then made a penalty of giving each yellow card.
"I've seen Potanta's data. They have very few cards, but they shouldn't be very few cards in their way of playing football." Louis said.
"In the low-level league, this situation is inevitable. Potanta is a famous referee team. They can always miraculously change the situation of the league and make the dealer gain a lot." Maniro almost said it explicitly.
In this game, the referee was obviously tolerant of Potanca.
Molic rolled on the ground twice, and after getting up, he still covered his ankles.
