Chapter 656 170: Conquering Serie A, the Ultimate Legend! (Part 4)

The young forward Fernandez is in top form, scoring twice.

Versachi and Kaint each provided an assist, with Kaint's assist being a straight pass from the middle back field.

Although the accuracy was somewhat lacking, the gap left by the opponent for San Remo was simply too large, so Fernandez had time to adjust the angle after receiving the ball and shoot to score.

However, the opponent is also one of the strong teams in Serie B, and they scored two goals in the last ten minutes to tie the score.

The final score of this match was two to two.

San Remo secured another draw.

Continuing their unbeaten journey.

Two days later, the Italian Cup quarterfinals arrive.

San Remo will host Lazio at Makabaka Stadium.

The pre-match hype for this game is already high.

Because this is a clash between the winner and loser of the UEFA Europa League.

Although there is no longstanding feud between them, with some media guidance, some San Remo fans and Lazio fans used insulting terms for each other.

This is the media's usual tactic, and there are always fans who fall for it.

Especially Italy's Republican Newspaper, they are never late when it comes to causing trouble for San Remo.

Republican Newspaper's in-depth preview: "San Remo is a new team, lacking foundation, with truly capable players amounting to only about sixteen or seventeen. Just barely meeting the needs of a team."

"Personally, I think their strategic arrangement this season has significant mistakes."

"Judging from the extensive rotation and controlled playing style mid-season, it's not hard to see that San Remo wants to achieve results on multiple fronts this season."

"But they underestimated the opponents they encountered."

"The early rounds of the Italian Cup may be played with substitutes, but from now on, the opponents are basically Serie A level. For San Remo, each match is a huge drain, and they must give their all."

"Similarly, as the league enters the last third, teams in promotion and relegation zones start to fight hard, San Remo cannot be as composed as before."

"Their unbeaten record will inevitably be interrupted, and they will start losing matches in the league, not just one."

"Finally, the Europa League battlefield is a high-level cruel arena that San Remo has never entered before, hence unimaginable. Although San Remo will rotate players in the league, they will still become fatigued from fighting on three fronts, affecting their performance in the Europa League matches."

"The round of 16 is probably San Remo's limit. The pressure this season is definitely incomparable to the previous season in the Italian Third Division."

"Sotu should make a choice. Abandon the UEFA Europa League or the Italian Cup, while giving up some scores in the league to go further in a particular cup event, this would be a more correct approach."

"San Remo absolutely does not have the capability to handle two fronts, let alone advancing on all three!"

A very professional preview comment.

But San Remo fans left comments below.

"I feel relieved seeing Republican Newspaper say this."

"Here it comes, reverse praise to Lu definitely belongs to Republican Newspaper!"

"From the Serie B champion and last season's Italian League to the European Youth Championship winner and Golden Boy Award, Republican Newspaper's predictions are always so precise!"

"Predicting the wrong champion actually isn't a big deal, predicting the wrong champion every time can even be understood as bad luck, but predicting a team definitely won't win only for that team to win, I truly admire!"

"Strongly suggest San Remo sponsor Republican Newspaper, to avoid Republican Newspaper closing down and having no publication able to accurately reverse predict San Remo matches."

"Brother, you're still young! Republican Newspaper has such reverse prediction skills, wouldn't they have early results reversing, with villas by the sea already! How could they go bankrupt?"

"Exactly! I should hurry and place a bet!"

In the end, this Republican Newspaper report directly led to the odds of San Remo's match dropping, and Lazio's win odds soaring.

This means more people believe San Remo will win, and a lot more.

Lazio fans are furious.

Were they underestimated?

Neema!

Who do you go to for explanations!

Juventus, Inter, Milan, Purple Lily, Rome, Naples, Atlanta, not any Serie A team is so arrogant when facing them.

This is simply their highest odds this season!

Even after a three-nil win in the first Europa League leg, their odds for the second leg were never this high!

It means, fans believe, Lazio's chances of a comeback in the Europa League are greater than their chances of beating San Remo.

Who exactly is the Serie A powerhouse?

San Remo?

Lazio fans are indignant, forming an expeditionary force, grouping up and heading into Makabaka Stadium.

However...

Lazio's players did not show much excitement or intense expression before the match.

On the contrary, although the players were laughing, organizing training, and playing circles together.

But their muscles under their expressions seemed stiff.

They were not truly happy, as if they lost something!

Most importantly, their eyes lost the spark, lost football!
