"I knew it, I knew you'd be there!" Morici rushed over and jumped on Lu Yang, frantically patting his chest, "That shot of yours was incredible, the Rapid Descent Shot, you actually pulled off a Rapid Descent Shot, do you know that's a forward-level shooting skill!"
Then, the rest of the players rushed over and surrounded the two.
Everyone celebrated wildly.
They won!
It was over!
Lu Yang's goal happened in the first minute of stoppage time. And there were only two minutes of stoppage time in total.
Lu Yang killed the game, San Remo won!
Everyone was thrilled beyond words.
It had been too long since they last won, let alone turning the game around with a last-minute victory?
At least this season, they hadn't had such an experience!
Sotu started a passionate sliding knee celebration on the sidelines!
The commentator was extremely excited: "This is a rebirth for San Remo! A legend belonging to San Remo is truly setting sail! Lu Yang, Morici, Sotu, I hope everyone will always remember their names because this legend is being written by them!"
"We can see that when Morici was charging forward, most of the San Remo players were also pushing forward. Among them was Lu Yang, who should have been in the backline position. He sprinted past Avellino's forward players and midfielders."
"If Avellino's players could foresee the future, they would certainly have stopped Lu Yang. Because this center-back is about to reverse the game entirely with a powerful shot!"
"Defenders with attacking abilities are often called knife-wielding defenders, but I'm willing to call Lu Yang a cannon-wielding defender! This heavy artillery shot of his, this nearly thirty-meter world-class Rapid Descent Shot, was truly shocking!"
"We can see the never-give-up spirit on the faces of Lu Yang and Morici, they are young, they are inexperienced, they are even only sixteen, seventeen years old, but they always crave victory, they just want to win!"
Sure enough, after San Remo celebrated, as soon as Avellino kicked off, the referee blew the whistle to end the match.
Lu Yang and Morici were found by Sotu and then taken to the post-match press conference.
Yes, even though they were in the Italian D Division, San Remo had their own post-match press conference because their head coach was Sotu.
This small Italian D Division match wasn't nationally broadcast, only in the Liguria Region, and even that was because of Sotu's arrival; otherwise, San Remo wouldn't have such a privilege.
There weren't few media present today, with about a dozen outlets, including two quite famous nationwide in Italy, like the "Live Football Report."
Hans was a columnist for Live Football Report, with a very keen news sense. During a previous celebrity match, he became interested in Lu Yang, so he volunteered for the "Sotu debut" assignment.
But his real target was that magical center-back.
And that center-back didn't disappoint him.
"Hello Sotu, I'm Hans from Live Football Report." Hans was the first to ask a question.
"Oh, I know you, my retirement couldn't have happened without your help." Sotu was familiar with Hans. The reasons for his retirement were multifaceted, but one of the more important ones was related to his fierce demeanor on the field.
An article exposed the lives of players Sotu had injured; some were living quite miserably, which once brought disrepute to Sotu.
And the author of that article was Hans.
He was a journalist who really knew how to tell stories.
"Hehe, we all have to make a living, and besides, I later published articles speaking on your behalf." Hans laughed.
"But the one speaking well didn't go viral." Sotu was speechless.
"Alright then, Sotu, we noticed that during the match, Lu Yang, as a center-back, often controlled the ball and finally rushed to the arc top of the opponent's penalty area. Is such tactical discipline allowed in your team?" Hans's question was very pointed.
Sotu didn't hesitate at all: "Clearly, such tactical discipline is not allowed in any head coach's team."
Hans's eyes brightened.
Did Sotu just fall into a trap?
The truth is, this was a tough question to answer.
If you say you allow Lu Yang's undisciplined behavior, the head coach's authority is undermined, and team discipline loses its binding force.
But if you criticize Lu Yang... you must know, Lu Yang was the hero of the last-minute goal!
Sotu's answer was undoubtedly the latter.
But Sotu quickly added: "But I believe that in any team, scoring goals is allowed, no matter how it's done!"
Clap clap clap!
There was a round of applause from the audience.
Lu Yang's behavior was indeed debatable, but the truth that goal scorers are blameless is also one of football's truths.
...
They went viral!
San Remo went viral once again!
"In Sotu's debut match, they broke the team's four-game losing streak with a comeback victory!"
"Magical substitutions! Both players substituted by Sotu scored goals!"
"13 seconds! Fastest goal in the second half in Italy!"
"Perfect double debut! San Remo's two youth team substitutes came on and scored!"
"Magical midfielder! Morici scored on his second touch after coming on; his first touch was the kick-off."
"Cannon-wielding defender! Lu Yang scored a world-class goal in the last minute of the match!"
"The defender who most deserves to be a forward in Italian D Division, just look at how lethal his Rapid Descent Shot was!"
"Season's longest goal in Italian D Division born, 29.6-meter world-class goal, created by San Remo!"
