I AM the Football Star

Chapter 335 - 102: King of Long Shots! Saint Simon!

And the fans of San Remo have come this far under the guidance of miracles, so they have no reason not to continue believing in them!

Rome’s head coach specifically instructed some words before the players took the field, especially pulling Aguirre aside for a one-on-one talk.

In the last moments of the first half, Aguirre received a yellow card for a sliding tackle from the side and behind.

He was quite lucky.

Given his actions and the result it caused, a red card wouldn’t have been too much.

But perhaps due to the main referee’s relatively lenient judging in this match, Aguirre narrowly escaped.

This coach must be reminding him to watch his actions.

An eleven-man Rome is sure to win.

But with a ten-man Rome, it’s unpredictable.

Tweet!

The whistle blows, and the second half begins.

Soon, San Remo felt the changes in Rome.

Rome indeed wasn’t fighting as hard anymore.

They were preventing the players of San Remo who could dribble from getting past in one step, thus exposing huge flaws.

As long as there are no exceptionally good opportunities, under Rome’s defense, even if San Remo attempts a shot, it won’t be too threatening.

At the same time, Rome was managing their stamina.

Their team had a relatively older average age, so they were not as vigorous as the youngsters in terms of stamina.

So San Remo began to control the ball, trying to find gaps in Rome.

This Rome team is typical of someone good at breaking down defense as well as parking the bus.

Their ground defense is very solid.

About fifteen minutes passed, and Sotu was getting anxious.

When strong teams play shamelessly, it’s time for weaker teams to suffer.

Moreover, the key point is that Rome’s so-called bus is not a complete bus.

They’re a bit like a sting operation.

Their midfield has strong interception abilities.

But they’re not using it.

They’re just luring the snake out of its hole.

They hope to make their attack simpler, so they’re starting with defense.

They don’t want to press up with a large force and attack collectively, only to be counter-attacked by San Remo like in the first half.

But San Remo knows it’s a trap and has to go in anyway.

After painstakingly getting a chance with ball control and attempting an attack, what are they waiting for if they give it up?

Waiting for the next counter-attack opportunity?

They’ve tried it and can’t endure Rome’s first hammer.

Taking control of the game now is the best opportunity.

"Damn it!"

Morici was the first to notice something was wrong: "Fernandez, over here, I ... no, not here, give it to Latu..."

Morici’s words were interrupted several times.

Because the situation changed too quickly.

Rome closed in when Fernandez received the ball.

Fernandez found himself surrounded, with people everywhere.

Morici, Lu Yang, Camihong, Latu Yidi, all the points to pass were blocked.

Bam!

Fernandez tried a long kick forward, but it was surprisingly blocked by Rome’s right-back with his body.

Drake got the ball and immediately passed it to Balera.

Balera pushed forward with the ball.

The entire San Remo defense was retreating, albeit a little too late.

Aguirre made an off-the-ball cut inside.

Latu Yidi was in a dilemma and could only let Aguirre block Balera.

Bam!

Balera made a cross pass to the left.

Drake caught up and made a through pass to the right inside channel.

Latu Yidi could only look on helplessly.

Aguirre, after receiving the ball, tapped and accelerated.

Naji, who was stepping up, was beaten in one step.

Bam!

Aguirre took a long shot!

Jalard reached the ball, but was slightly late, and the ball still went into the goal.

"GOAL! Three to two! Aguirre scored!"

"He is Rome’s hero! Last summer, not selling him was the right choice for Rome, he will bring a championship trophy to Rome!"

"This season, Aguirre hasn’t done badly for Rome, at least in this match, he might be one of the highest-scoring players on Rome’s side."

"Aguirre was very excited, celebrating wildly."

"But Drake, who assisted, did not celebrate with him, instead, he returned immediately to the midfield area."

"Balera and Drake high-fived, their cooperation in that goal was truly exceptional."

"Now San Remo is in trouble. There are only about half an hour left in the match, can they still equalize?"

The commentator didn’t mention overtaking because that seemed a bit unrealistic.

Sotu made a quick decision, immediately substituting Fernandez, who hadn’t shown much in this match, with Bai Zhami.

It’s not to blame Fernandez for just conceding the ball.

It’s because it’s already time for Bai Zhami to take the field.

His speed might bring a different impact to Rome.

But Rome quickly told Sotu, you’re thinking too much.

Rome set up the bus again.

Even more determined than before.

If before, Rome was conducting a sting operation, then now they firmly stated, "No fishing allowed here."

San Remo seemed to be up against an iron turtle.

In this situation, how can you create any exquisite cooperation?

It would be lucky to even manage a blind kick.

But this quality of a blind kick posed no threat to the goal guarded by Ameluci.

Despite conceding two goals, Ameluci’s performance in this match is still impeccable.

"Four million, charge forth!" Lu Yang took the opportunity during the dead ball to pat Becher’s on the shoulder.

Four million was the transfer fee for Becher’s transfer, the highest fee ever in a San Remo deal.

Many believed it was too high.

Rome originally only offered two million euros.

But Becher’s has a duty to tell everyone, this price... is not too high at all, it’s even considered a bargain!
