Chapter 679 175: As a Player, Stay Away from Real Madrid and Barça!
The question of Kaint's Player of the Month award quickly came to an end.
What followed was a discussion on the Italian Football Association's approach.
In this era where everyone advocates attacking, the Italian Football Association, on the contrary, is raising the status and exposure of defensive players.
What kind of approach is this?
Is it better to be a big fish in a small pond?
Creating differentiation?
Believe it or not, after a thorough analysis by professionals, they indeed think it's feasible.
This is the best way for Italian Football to maintain its maximum strength and exposure without making large investments or engaging in Golden Yuan battles!
The league's focus and operational strategy have become clearer with these subtle changes in the rules.
Martivini is gradually pulling Italian Football out of its decline.
Someday in the future, people will feel Martivini's greatness.
Meanwhile, let's talk about another topic.
After winning his first personal accolade, Kaint was so excited that he almost cried.
The following day, HXLT held a signing ceremony and press conference with Kaint.
Numerous media representatives were present, and for the first time, Kaint experienced so many flashlights focused solely on him.
"HXLT has helped me a lot!" Kaint revealed the secret of his improved passing accuracy during a reporter's interview, "HXLT made special adjustments based on my foot shape; the shoes I wear are custom-made for me."
"In fact, many black players with bigger feet encounter similar issues; our toes are too long and they need special protection! I'm very grateful to have found HXLT, and even more to Lu for connecting me with HXLT and having custom shoes made for me!"
"I hope to introduce HXLT to all my black friends who play football; they're bound to fall in love with these shoes!"
Following this conference, HXLT took the opportunity to launch the second generation of the Hunting Blade shoes - the Bayonet!
Meanwhile, the original Hunting Blade shoes' price dropped by seven percent.
However, the Bayonet is positioned at a higher market and starts at a price twenty percent higher than the original Hunting Blade.
It can be said that the Hunting Blade didn't make much profit for HXLT and was mainly expanding the market.
Starting from the Bayonet, HXLT finally began to achieve objective profitability.
Of course, the Bayonet's spokesperson and commercial photo shoot still featured Lu Yang.
As the brand's flagship model, naturally, it should be promoted by the big brother.
Kaint mainly did some promotional shots with the original Hunting Blade, taking over from Brother Lu.
Regarding his customized shoes, if black friends show real interest, HXLT will consider launching Kaint's exclusive series in the future.
But that would only be possible after Kaint truly becomes a star player!
...
On April 9th, the 31st round of the Italian Second Division commenced.
San Remo once again secured a 5-0 victory, overwhelming their opponents.
In this match, San Remo entered a god-like state; their front and mid-field positional coordination was extremely smooth, almost error-free, everything the teammates passed was effective!
Lu Yang used the same technique directly to score three goals, achieving a hat-trick!
With 37 league goals and 11 assists, he dominates the scoring chart.
Morici assisted twice, bringing his league assists to 21, leading the chart with nine assists more than second-placed Lu Yang!
The title of League Assist King seems almost certain!
Sogel scored once and assisted once, with 15 goals and 6 assists, his stats are quite outstanding.
Canyes scored a goal, with 3 goals and 10 assists in the league, ranked third in assists.
So far, a total of 14 players from San Remo have scored, which is a classic example of diversified scoring!
This is thanks to the tactical flexibility of San Remo, who has two standard formations this season, not to mention other special situations.
After this league match, San Remo is about to face the next daunting sequence of matches!
On the 14th, they will participate in the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Eredivisie giant Ajax.
On the 16th, the 32nd round of the Italian Second Division.
On the 21st, the second leg of the UEFA Europa League.
On the 23rd, the Italian Cup semi-final, against Serie A team Udinese!
This sequence is extremely tight.
Moreover, these are key matches for the Italian Cup and Europa League, where a loss would mean there's no further advancement.
The Eredivisie media, however, seemed much happier.
Because Ajax's schedule is nowhere near as brutal as San Remo's.
They have plenty of time to prepare for San Remo.
A member of Ajax's coaching staff revealed they are studying San Remo's tactics in recent times and have made breakthrough progress!
The war of public opinion began before the match.
The Eredivisie is evidently coming in full force; otherwise, they wouldn't deliberately release information that might cause fear in their opponents.
But San Remo wasn't affected at all.
They continued their training by match, adjusting their positional exchange tactics.
Although they didn't incorporate more tactics, this adjustment already poses a strong threat in the forward line.
In fact, after the basic positional exchange, the players could still introduce some variations based on the situation.
For instance, if a good opportunity arises during the exchange, Morici can use his personal skills to deliver a more threatening through ball.
That way, they can penetrate the opposition faster without having to wait for multiple successive runs.
The ultimate goal of continuous positional exchanges is to cause opponents to make mistakes and tear open their defenses.
So achieving the goal without completing the entire tactic is also feasible.
This is equivalent to entering the flexible use stage after mastering fixed moves.
