Chapter 1267: This Barça Is Very Real Madrid_2

However, Mebarak could see that Lu Yang was pretending, and Gudiola could too.

Can Gudiola accept Lu Yang acting to turn a guaranteed three points into just one?

Impossible!

As the Head Coach, the most important thing is to lead the team to victory. If you lose or draw a few games, watch Gudiola get sacked.

So… although Lu Yang pretended, he actually messed up!

After this match, Gudiola will definitely stop Lu Yang.

By then… watch how I deal with you!

Meanwhile, Mateo was blocked on the right flank and passed back to Hernandez.

Hernandez made a long pass, and Mancini received the ball on the left and started advancing.

By the time Sevilla’s players caught up, Mancini was already dribbling into the attacking third.

At the same time, Lu Yang had run over from his Central Forward position to support Mancini.

Mancini passed to Lu Yang and then ran toward the center, making a position swap without technical complexity, which did not confuse Sevilla’s defenders.

Barça’s left-back Ava passed by Lu Yang, preparing for a basic flank combination with him.

This did attract the attention of the Sevilla defenders.

After all, if Lu Yang passed to Ava, then also inside cutting without the ball, and Mancini, who had just run toward the center, turned back to receive the ball at the left edge of the penalty area, it could create a threat.

A straight pass to the front-running Lu Yang, a diagonal pass for Ortiz advancing from the center for a long shot, or a back-point pass for Mateo, who rushed into the penalty area from the right, all were possibilities.

But just when everyone was watching Ava, Lu Yang did not pass to Ava.

Lu Yang controlled the ball and took up the stance for a cross.

Ava was stunned… You can cross too?

Well… my position might be better for crossing, right?

Besides, if you don’t go into the penalty area, who the hell will get the header?

Mateo?

Wouldn’t you know it, Mateo actually had already rushed into the penalty area.

But watching Lu Yang’s pass, honestly, he felt nervous.

With this ball, he didn’t even need to jump to know the result.

Because even if he jumped, the result would be the same—it would definitely be headed by the opponent.

You can’t expect a player who’s only 1.7 meters tall to just fly up and bombard the opponent’s goal from the spot.

Seeing Lu Yang’s move, Mancini urgently changed his route and dove into the penalty area.

No matter if it’s effective or not, even if only to disrupt, it’s beneficial.

Wouldn’t you know it, this time it actually messed things up.

Because of Mancini’s forward run near the front point, Sevilla’s goalkeeper took a step out.

If Lu Yang’s pass was close to the goal this time, then the goalkeeper could directly snag the ball.

The same situation would be different if it were Ava, who was in a position closer to the baseline.

Because from Ava’s position, the curve of the ball after passing into the penalty area would inevitably move away from the goal, making it impossible for the goalkeeper to run out and catch the ball.

But from Lu Yang’s position, the ball would continuously approach the goal after being kicked out.

Curvature, mathematics, physics.

All are applicable in football.

Bam!

Lu Yang kicked with his left foot.

The football flew into the sky, tracing a beautiful curve…

Uh…

Seems like it’s a bit off target?

This kick, the curve isn’t very obvious!

Many Sevilla fans laughed out loud.

“This technique is too…”

“Ridiculous! I’ve never seen such a funny cross!”

“Looks like Ava’s face turned green! This cross quality is extremely poor!”

“If you can’t cross, don’t force it; it’s a wasted opportunity. It’s not easy for Ava to make it up!”

“No skill, only selfishness!”

On the bench, a disdainful smile appeared on Mebarak’s lips.

This technique… is even worse than his!

Good, without this ridiculous performance, Mebarak really wouldn’t know how to criticize Lu Yang after the match.

Now, with this draw, everyone is equally to blame.

My defense was inadequate, you failed to create chances; we’re all idiots!

On the field, Mancini looked at the curve, sighing at how off-target it was.

It wasn’t raining today.

In the rain, the ball slips, and it’s normal to fail to maintain control.

But on a breezy and sunny evening, a cross barely curving is a bit ridiculous.

Even Sevilla’s goalkeeper looked up at the football, thinking this one was secure.

But there were three people who thought differently.

Mateo, Ortiz, Hernandez!

These three share a common trait, which is outstanding technical ability, high football intelligence, and excellent awareness!

Even if placed in Lu Yang’s position, they wouldn’t have made the same move, but that doesn’t affect their understanding of Lu Yang’s intent.

Crossing?

This is a shot!

Similar to last game’s midfield lob, an outrageous wing cross shot!

Crossing technique!

But aimed at the goal!

Is Lu Yang unable to control the curve?

No, he never intended to!

This is a cross shot formed by an inward-curving instep with a sudden ankle lift during the shot!

Almost a second later, the Sevilla goalkeeper also realized.

This shot might fall into the far corner of the goal!

He retreated continuously, then leaped backward, reaching up towards the sky.

But there was still a palm’s distance from the ball.

At this moment, he lamented that if he hadn’t been drawn forward by Mancini just now, the distance might have been sufficient.

But there is no “what if” on the field.

Whoosh!

The football fell into the net.

The entire stadium was stunned!

The next moment, Lu Yang, without any surprise, raised his hands skyward, turned in place, and scanned the fans throughout the stadium.
