Chapter 978 - 236: A Forced Melon Is Not Sweet (4)
But no one is perfect, how can commentary be free from subjective elements?
Even if commentators want to be neutral, it’s not necessarily achievable.
Besides, no controversy means no traffic.
Only the buzz gets trending.
This principle of the entertainment industry, both domestic and international sports circles, has been worn out; when will CCTV catch on?
"Teacher Luo Cheng, there is a conversion method circulating on the market that says San Remo lost 2-5 to Arsenal, Arsenal drew 0-0 with Sevilla, and Sevilla lost to Sporting Lisbon," Coach Jun said, "Looking at it like this, Sporting Lisbon should at least win against San Remo by four goals."
"What do you think?"
Luo Cheng laughed immediately: "Football isn’t math; it can’t be calculated so easily. San Remo lost because they were missing nearly half of their main players."
"In fact, I favor San Remo for this match. They’ve been dominating the league recently, winning three consecutive victories! They defeated Juventus, Inter Milan, and Lazio one after another."
"Their hard strength is very strong, and Sporting Lisbon will face their biggest challenge in the Champions League schedule today!"
Coach Jun also laughed: "I’ve always heard that Teacher Luo Cheng is a die-hard fan of Lu Yang, and seeing you today, indeed it’s true."
Luo Cheng nodded: "I’ve always heard that Coach Jun is a die-hard anti-fan of Lu Yang, and seeing you today, it’s equally true!"
Coach Jun looked a little embarrassed.
This match is held at Sporting Lisbon’s home stadium, Estádio José Alvalade.
San Remo is challenging on the away field but doesn’t fear; they lined up their recent successful formation, 3-4-3!
Sporting Lisbon, on the other hand, uses the traditional 4-3-3.
Sporting Lisbon’s young player Chris Averro plays the left winger.
From the start, Averro was exceptionally active.
He dribbles very quickly, constantly attempting to pass players.
But, unfortunately, he encountered Kaint.
Kaint might be less effective against bigger players, but against players who favor physical play, it’s like a sleeper finding a pillow, just perfect!
Averro lost possession three times consecutively under Kaint’s feet.
In response, the few San Remo fans accompanying the expedition booed.
Normal young players usually have intense reactions to such boos.
Averro was no different.
His face instantly turned red in embarrassment.
He knew well that his performance was not good just now.
But after feeling ashamed and annoyed, he fiercely glared at the San Remo fans and then... angrily switched positions with his teammate, the right winger, moving to the right side to face San Remo’s left side, going against Delarre.
Boo boo boo!
San Remo fans continued to mock Averro.
But three minutes later, they were forced to shut their mouths.
Because Averro successfully broke through Delarre consecutively, aggressively creating two threats.
One was resolved by Bernulin, and the other led to a corner after Camihong kicked it out of bounds.
This young man, although he has the typical pride of youth, sometimes for victory, he can temporarily ignore the mocking of local fans.
His inner strength is far greater than his young appearance.
Bam!
Sporting Lisbon took a corner kick.
Averro jumped high, headed the ball...
Bam!
Lu Yang intervened first, heading the ball towards the penalty box.
Then their heads bumped, and both fell in the box.
But the match didn’t stop.
Because outside the penalty box, Morici had already kicked the ball forward.
And Bai Zhami was running wildly.
His speed is extremely fast.
Although there were defenders ahead of him, the moment the ball fell, he flicked it over the player without stopping it.
He overpowered Sporting Lisbon’s defender.
Thud!
The Sporting Lisbon defender’s series of movements—turning, retreating, and pulling—were too closely timed, causing him to fall on the spot.
Bai Zhami faced the opposing goalkeeper alone.
The opposing goalkeeper advanced.
Bai Zhami chipped the shot!
The ball fell into the net!
San Remo made a classic counterattack.
Bai Zhami’s actions from starting, receiving, to shooting were impressive, yet he used them skillfully.
San Remo leads 1-0, seizing the first opportunity!
