Chapter 1129 - 270: Starting with a Moment Card, Ranked Third in the World_4

Absolutely cannot let this person take another shot in front of me!

Absolutely!

Not just Balajana, everyone who just went up against Lu Yang felt a bit solemn at this moment.

Junior rarely encounters a right winger who can completely overpower him.

Taller ones aren’t as fast as him, and faster ones aren’t as strong.

Despite his short stature, his core strength is very strong, and his defense is not weak.

However, Lu Yang...is taller, stronger, and not even slower, with extraordinary dribbling skills.

Am I dealing with a peak Moreira?

Rubio also rubbed his chest.

That collision just now, he was on the losing side, something he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

In terms of difficulty, Lu Yang seems even more challenging than San Remo’s Talista.

Beep!

Real Madrid kicked off.

San Remo’s front trident charged out like three mad dogs.

Frontal Pressing!

Any of Real Madrid’s forward stars have the potential to tear through San Remo’s defense.

Rather than passive defense, it’s better to actively push up the defensive line and pin Real Madrid in their half.

Among Real Madrid’s defensive players, except for the left-back Junior, the center-backs Rubio, Balajana, right-back Sanchis, and defensive midfielder Joseph, are not known for their passing. Their ball-playing ability is not strong.

This is one of the reasons why Real Madrid doesn’t value Joseph.

Real Madrid has always wanted to bring in Arsenal’s Plazza.

Plazza and Joseph are both main defensive midfielders for the France team, Joseph is a purely defensive player, while Plazza can complete all midfield tasks, known as the Hexagon Warrior.

But Arsenal won’t let him go, and Plazza has no intention of joining Real Madrid.

Real Madrid’s attitude towards Joseph made Plazza realize that defensive players don’t get the respect and treatment they deserve at Real Madrid.

Is there a more versatile midfielder than Plazza?

Yes!

For example, Lu Yang...you can call him the Round Warrior.

Real Madrid had no idea San Remo would play so liberally.

Hector instinctively passed back, wanting his teammates to stabilize the situation.

However, as the football just left, a figure streaked past him.

It’s Lu Yang!

At the same time, Talista and Bai Zhami created a pincer-like formation.

The entire Balajana from Real Madrid’s youth academy who received Hector’s pass froze.

He wanted to pass back to the goalkeeper Luis.

But Bai Zhami was too fast, running towards Luis from an offside position.

If Balajana passed, Bai Zhami could intercept it.

Talista came up, and Balajana had no space to turn around.

Bam!

Balajana tried to turn and then kicked the ball out sideways.

In his mind, he felt a teammate should be nearby, and this pass should definitely be for a teammate.

But...

Balajana put too much strength into it.

The ball rolled past Rubio and continued to the left.

Stuck between Rubio and Junior.

San Remo’s number seven player stormed in, took the ball directly, and broke into the penalty area.

Rubio also rushed back to the box, directly colliding with Lu Yang, while sticking out a foot.

Bam!

Lu Yang shot the ball ahead in advance.

Rubio’s foot stomped on Lu Yang’s ankle.

Lu Yang fell to the ground immediately.

The main referee’s whistle blew.

Looking down, Rubio realized he was inside the penalty area.

The main referee pointed to the penalty spot, signaling a penalty kick, and showed Rubio a yellow card!

Rubio kept explaining, trying to say he touched the ball first.

But the replay proved the main referee’s judgment was accurate.

Rubio did not touch the ball, but kicked Lu Yang directly.

Because his knee had a bending motion and he initially went for the ball, this was a yellow card.

Otherwise...a red card could have been given.

For a moment, at the Bernabéu Stadium, boos surged again.

Lu Yang immediately checked the interface, relieved to find no injury notification.

But his ankle had three bloody scrapes from Rubio’s cleats, with slight pain.

His touch felt distinctly affected for the next two to three minutes.

So Lu Yang called Morici over.

"Dare to take it?" Lu Yang asked.

Morici took the ball: "I’d dare score!"

"Don’t make me waste energy on a follow-up shot." Lu Yang said, "If not, let Talista take it."

Morici smiled: "Just don’t say I stole your hat trick after the match!"

Morici stood at the penalty spot.

"Is Lu Yang afraid to take penalties?"

"Coward! Sending this shorty as the scapegoat?"

"Luis is the best at saving penalties, this ball surely won’t go in!"

"Who’s this? Any nobody dares take a penalty against Real Madrid?"

"I bet a hundred bucks his leg will turn to jelly when he shoots!"

"Morici, if you miss, our Real Madrid might consider signing you this summer!"

"So this is Morici? Looks nothing special, why is he being compared to Hector? Except for the golden hair?"

"He looks very nervous."

"It’s easy to save a penalty from a rookie like this."

The main referee’s whistle blew.

Morici started running towards the penalty spot.

His pace was neither fast nor slow.

Previously, his eyes were fixed on the ground.

Until the moment he swung his leg to shoot, his head lifted to look at Luis’s right side.

Luis’s lips curled slightly!

Too easy!

This Morici is still green.

For a twenty-year-old player, his mental toughness is indeed...

Luis dived to his right, almost covering half the goal.

This is the reflex of a top Gate God.

Today’s two goals by Lu Yang were Miracle Balls.

Otherwise, Luiz would have definitely saved them.

Hmm?

Mid-air, Luis frowned.

The ball did not shoot out with force but floated up like a balloon, then fell into the net.

Morici’s leg went soft!

Because he took a... Panenka penalty!

When the ball dropped into the net, all the Bernabéu fans were dumbfounded.

Are they sure they’re not watching the replay of the last match?

Eight minutes, three goals!

Only this time it was...San Remo who scored!

"GOAL!"

"Mo-Mo-Mo, Morici!"

"Unbelievable! Three to five! San Remo took only eight minutes to close the gap to just two goals!"

"The Saint Remo People didn’t boast! It’s not because there’s hope that they persist. It’s because they persist, that there’s hope!"

"The Galaxy Battleship has been lulled into slumber, Real Madrid’s players haven’t even figured out what’s happening!"

"I seem to see the collapse of the Galaxy Battleship!"

"Lu Yang is calling for fans to cheer and applaud once again, the San Remo fans are shouting hoarse, the Bernabéu has completely turned into a playground for the Saint Remo People!"

"They even forgot to give Lu Yang the only thing they can offer—boos!"
