I AM the Football Star

Chapter 88: Screams in the Locker Room and the Battle for the No. 1 Star (14000-Word Major Chapter) (Part 3)


In Sotu's tactics, there is the aspect of Becher's holding the ball to create threats, which is even the focus of the team's offense.

But similarly, Sotu's tactics demand more off-the-ball movement and cooperation with Lu Yang.

This is the basic premise for Becher's solo plays.

During halftime, Sotu indeed did not give the team any new instructions.

At the start of the second half, Becher's playing style remained unchanged.

Because in San Remo's 4213 formation, the winger naturally has the first ball rights, so as long as Becher's doesn't pass the ball, Lu Yang truly can't get much possession.

Perhaps sensing the heavy surrounding defense, Becher's attempted several long shots, but his long shots weren't considered strong.

From this, Lu Yang roughly understood the reason behind Becher's playing style.

No wonder he doesn't like shooting from the flanks, because his long shot power is insufficient and his accuracy is lacking. The best shooting position for Lu Yang, for Becher's, is a waste shot area.

Just like Lu Yang doesn't like Becher's personal playing style, it's also due to Lu Yang's current lack of certain abilities.

But the difference lies in that Lu Yang knows that his inability to play like Becher's is his own problem.

While Becher's believes that his inability to shoot like Lu Yang is Lu Yang's problem.

This is the difference between people.

Becher's chose the playing style he was best at, but unfortunately, in the flank area, his threat and efficiency are not as high as Lu Yang's.

Once Sotu realized this, he knew it was time to take action.

In the sixty-seventh minute of the match, Sotu replaced Becher's with Belletti.

Becher's couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the substitution sign.

Replace me?

Is this a mistake?

Has Sotu lost his mind?

Becher's angrily walked towards the direction of the fourth official, ready to leave the field.

He had already thought it through in his mind, when Sotu or Old Tom goes to high-five or even say something to him, he must push their hand away to express his dissatisfaction.

He also wants to kick away the bottle of mineral water that Sotu has placed by his feet, he wants everyone to know he's playing unhappily, he's very angry!

"You! Stand here! Watch how Belletti plays!"

None of the things Becher's imagined happened.

Sotu didn't even look at him, just spoke directly.

Becher's footsteps were stiff, and his expression awkward.

He was indeed angry, but... standing before him was the mighty super fighter of Italian Football, the butcher Sotu!

When he truly faced Sotu, he realized he didn't have the courage to confront Sotu.

He didn't know how he suppressed those complex emotions and stood by Sotu watching Belletti play.

He was completely bewildered.

"Oh, Becher's was substituted, he actually performed quite actively this match, but he's always lacking a bit of luck to score."

"It's clear that Becher's isn't very happy; his face is clouded, making people worry whether he'll have a conflict with the coaching staff."

"No, Becher's stood behind Sotu, Sotu seemed to say something to him, whereas he seemed like a student who made a mistake, accepting guidance."

"The chemistry between Becher's and Lu Yang hasn't developed; he hasn't completely integrated into this team."

"Sixty-five minutes is somewhat too early, can Belletti perform better than Becher's? I personally feel it's unpromising. Becher's future is certainly brighter than Belletti's, but even now, Becher's already rivals or even surpasses Belletti's peak period in terms of strength."

"The defensive line that Becher's finds difficult to overcome, Belletti definitely can't overcome either."

The commentators aren't in favor of San Remo's adjustment.

But on the field, with Belletti's arrival, San Remo appeared as if it had transformed into another team.

Belletti, upon coming on, took advantage of the opponent's inattentiveness and passed two players in succession, then sent a threatening cross into the middle with a forty-five-degree angle.

In the penalty area, Sogel and Lu Yang both competed for the ball, Sogel touched the ball but under pressure, the ball deviated from the goal, it was so close to being a goal.

However, Sogel didn't feel pity because once Belletti came on, he felt opportunities were everywhere.

This feeling, everyone on the field understood clearly.

Kelleres' players thought it was simply absurd, how did this old player, upon coming on, feel like he grew thorns all over, making them extremely uncomfortable.

This is something the stronger Becher's couldn't achieve.

Very quickly, Lu Yang and Belletti executed two successive one-two passes to get past players.

Then Lu Yang pulled to the wing, Belletti cut inside.

Becher's saw this scene and was so angry that he felt steam would be coming out of his ears.

Why?!

Isn't Lu Yang pulling to the wing for Belletti?

That's the cover I always wanted!

Why when Lu Yang played with me, pulling to the wing felt so reluctant and lacked quality?

Isn't this targeting me?

Isn't this afraid I'll take his core position?

But the next moment, Belletti told Becher's why Lu Yang was willing to cover for Belletti.

Only to see Lu Yang make a feint but didn't pull to the wing, instead followed Belletti all the way.

Though Belletti and Lu Yang hadn't known each other long, he had studied Lu Yang's playing habits, he knew what Lu Yang wanted to do.
