Chapter 720 182: Ghost Goal—He Can Bring Us More Than One Champions League!

All of a sudden, the sound of seeking to acquire Izalelt was incessant.

For major clubs around the world, not having news about wanting to purchase Izalelt would be seen as unambitious and lacking in strength.

Just think about how terrifying this scene is.

A player has already become the standard by which the public judges whether a club qualifies to be called a giant.

What kind of status must this player have?

Throughout all Europe, there is only one giant that hasn't been rumored with Izalelt.

That is Bayern Munich, who also reached the Champions League final after defeating Manchester United.

Their rumored target is... Pavovsky from Werder Bremen.

Ahem!

Poor Pavovsky, originally an excellent central forward, but being brought out for comparison with Izalelt in this context naturally became a joke.

Pavovsky's reputation inexplicably worsened, ridiculed globally, suffering misfortune for no reason.

This year, no player is qualified to compare with Izalelt, which is a consensus in the industry.

...

On the day Barça lost, Gudiola flew to San Remo overnight.

At this time, names like Morici, Sotu, and Lu Yang all became nothingness.

Including the past times Gudiola was interested in San Remo's infinite position swapping, he no longer cared. He just wanted to know why Sotu from San Remo was so certain that in this Champions League semi-final, his Barça would lose.

In the seaside villa owned by Sofia in San Remo.

"This is Taibai Flower Tea that a friend of mine brought back from China not long ago, it tastes quite good." Lu Yang was pouring tea for everyone.

Sotu, Gudiola, Maniero, and Morici were all present.

"I really like drinking tea." Gudiola was very courteous, but after taking a sip, he immediately frowned.

Obviously, he wasn't accustomed to it.

"Sotu said, you believe this year's Barça can't make it to the end? Why? Is it because you didn't buy Barça?" Gudiola got straight to the point.

Lu Yang shook his head, holding the teacup and said, "Because you haven't become bald yet, because this Barça is not strong enough yet."

Gudiola looked completely confused, unable to understand what Lu Yang was talking about.

Lu Yang sat down and smiled, "Just joking, but studies show that a man's hairstyle has an influence on his studies and career beyond everyone's imagination."

"When a guy is sloppy, has a bad hairstyle, or even a shaved head, all his attention will be focused on his work. This is the only way to eliminate common men."

"Otherwise, any man walking down the street would be thinking, 'I'm so handsome, does that beautiful woman next to me like me!'"

Hahaha!

Laughter erupted in the room.

This joke apparently worked well.

Lu Yang added, "Speaking of Barcelona, I don't know what you call Barça's tactics, but in my view, the soul of this tactic is infinite position swapping."

"Taking your players and the opponent's defenders as a fixed combination, using your players' movements to change the opponent's formation, thereby exposing their flaws."

Gudiola's pupils contracted, asking, "Not passing? Out there everyone says what this team excels at is passing, and there are data points to support these claims."

Lu Yang shook his head, "Passing can only tear apart ordinary teams. The formations of high-level and physically strong teams will not be torn apart by passing. Behind the pass, the real threat is crossover positioning."

Clap, clap, clap!

Gudiola began applauding.

This young man named Lu Yang saw behind many concepts summarized by football experts.

Passing is not a tactic, passing is a personal ability.

For example, Beckham's long-pass guidance, Wolf King Totti's one-touch pass, Golden Wolf Guti's demon blade through ball, Zidane's leisurely grace.

Those are not tactics, those are their superstar abilities, one of the reasons they are so highly valued.

The movements after passing, off-the-ball running, and on-ball running, these are team tactics.

Barça has never been able to successfully replicate the tiki-taka tactic because tiki-taka is not a team tactic at all, but a fusion and manifestation of the personal abilities of Xabi Alonso and MSN.

Without these players, there wouldn't be the invincible tiki-taka, even if you keep passing, creating a flower with the ball, it could at most be called ball possession.

"But infinite position swapping is not an invincible tactic, every tactic has weaknesses." Lu Yang got to the point, "High-level position swapping and defensive covering theoretically can completely restrain infinite position swapping!"

"Praxedes is a player with this ability, he can complete defense in almost any position on the field. Infinite position swapping, in the face of a Praxedes-centered defensive tactic, its threat will be minimized."

"Moreover, this is still in a world where world football hasn't specifically targeted infinite position swapping. If there were focus on infinite position swapping, then not every household could prepare a Praxedes, but they could prepare two or three players with strong defensive covering abilities, which could similarly limit infinite position swapping."

"Once the entire world of football enters a high-level state, the greatest ability of infinite defensive swapping will be to create one-on-one situations, rather than create open spaces."

"At that time, the most needed thing for infinite position swapping will emerge, and that is Origin Burst! Whether you can get past or even abuse your opponent under one-on-one circumstances will be Barcelona's biggest reliance on how far they can go."

"Players who possess the ability of Origin Burst are very rare, but Barcelona has two, and both are top hands in the field! But… sometimes having one is a blessing, having two is a headache."
