I AM the Football Star

"Oh! Rubeus has been intercepted again! This is unbelievable!"

"Originally, I thought San Remo’s right side would be shredded by Rubeus, just like last time, but Kaint’s appearance has changed everything!"

"I can’t imagine how Kaint at 1.68 meters tall, facing the world’s top left winger, who is taller and faster than him, managed to push him back time and again."

"Six breakthroughs, two direct interceptions, two passes intercepted, one blocked cross, and forced Rubeus to pass back once. Kaint has completely frozen Rubeus!"

The first fifteen minutes of the match were entirely a showcase duel between Rubeus and Kaint.

Rubeus performed at least ten dazzling dribbling tricks.

If it were Canyes, frankly speaking, he would have crumbled long ago.

Canyes’s defensive abilities at this position can only be considered barely qualified.

But Kaint...

As San Remo’s most reliable defensive midfielder, he can perform as well as Lam even in the defensive midfielder position.

And Lam, originally a center back, naturally has better interception and tackling skills than an average defensive midfielder.

Therefore, Kaint’s defensive prowess is certainly worth pondering.

"Shit!"

Under the main referee’s whistle, Rubeus fell to the ground.

He was taken down by Kaint.

"Do you know how to play soccer!" Rubeus angrily shouted at Kaint, but Kaint had no intention of arguing, just smiled slightly and turned away.

Rubeus had no outlet for his frustration, feeling extremely annoyed.

The free-kick from this position posed little threat, and if Rubeus had gotten past Kaint, the opportunity would have been much better.

This...

This little black coalhead, really tough to deal with!

On the bench, Head Coach Sotu kept smiling, as if everything was under control.

Old Tom, on the other hand, said excitedly, "Indeed, despite Rubeus’s fame being hundreds of times greater and standing over ten centimeters taller than Kaint, Kaint’s core power is incredibly strong, his confrontational ability could be called perverse."

"In the areas of speed, confrontation, soccer IQ, and vision, without completely overpowering Kaint, no one can avoid being frozen by him."

"He’s just too effective!"

Sotu nodded.

Indeed, Kaint’s defensive prowess is frighteningly comprehensive.

You can gain some understanding of his abilities from the nickname San Remo fans gave him.

Lu Yang, minus the offensive data and plus the ability to break legs!

Impressive, right?

In the aspect of defense alone, aside from being over ten centimeters shorter than Lu Yang, there’s no difference.

Unless the opponent completely suppresses him or some statistic is overwhelmingly strong, it’s hard to break through Kaint’s defense.

Arsenal, seeing Rubeus’s plight, was clear.

"This guy, not called up to the France National Team? Ridiculous!" Mr. Winter looked at Kaint speechlessly.

Yet, when thinking about the France National Team’s crazy lineup, it seems understandable.

Regardless, next year, this guy will definitely be called up.

Otherwise, countries will be vying for him.

Kaint’s defensive strength is too strong.

No national team would mind having such a super substitute fighter like him.

"Attack the right side!" Mr. Winter signaled, indicating the team should shift their offensive focus.

Plazza and Lock in the center received orders and began passing to the right to Olic.

But soon, Winter realized why Lu Yang was playing on the left wing today.

"Lu Yang is back tackling! Olic is knocked down by Lu Yang, and there’s no foul? It seems the main referee considers this a fair collision."

"Again, Lu Yang! The first person Olic has to face after receiving the ball is Lu Yang. He tried to get past Lu Yang, but Lu Yang’s position was solid...intercepted! Lu Yang intercepted Olic again!"

"Oh, still Lu Yang! Olic passes back to Lock."

"Beautiful! Olic finally bypassed Lu Yang using an unconventional move, but it’s really tough...oh! Camihong rushed up with a sliding tackle in advance to break out the soccer."

"With Lu Yang charging ahead, Camihong only needs to clean up the aftermath, and his abilities are enough to handle Olic’s lack of strength in follow-up."

"Lu Yang’s defensive coverage is extremely broad, two of Olic’s passes to Walter were intercepted by Lu Yang."

"This is similar to the situation with Kaint on the other side, Rubeus’s ball has a hard time getting past him to Nelka’s feet."

"San Remo’s lineup is more 442 or 532 than 433!"

"Arsenal is in trouble today, their wings can’t open up the game. It’s unbelievable, even in the Premier League, Arsenal’s lineup is absolutely considered a team capable of flying on both wings!"

"Arsenal adjusted their offensive focus again, Ashley Gordon went up too, he wants to help Rubeus break through Kaint’s defense together."

Morici also joined in the back defense, his coordination with Kaint is quite seamless; the vision and soccer intelligence of both players are high. Kaint mainly defends, Morici provides support. Morici harasses while Kaint seizes opportunities to tackle, the layers are clear."

"However, Arsenal’s situation is finally better compared to the beginning; now their left side gradually gains the upper hand in the confrontation with San Remo’s right side."

"But their right side constantly faces the danger of defenders missing positions. If San Remo seizes this weakness, they might create a strike."

"Next, let’s see whether Gordon helps Rubeus crush San Remo first or San Remo seizes Gordon’s gap first."
