I AM the Football Star

Chapter 736 185: League Seasons Conclude in Succession, Nuclear Weapon 7 (14,000-Word Super Chapter)

If Izlalete competes with Lu Yang, he can't maintain his momentum.

Instead of competing with Lu in dribbling success rate, it's better to test his luck against Areola.

Bam!

Izlalete suddenly takes a shot from thirty-five meters away from the goal.

A super long-distance shot!

Astonishing!

Areola dives to save.

But this kind of ultra-long-distance shot is very difficult to save because the ball often has irregular trajectories in the air.

Many people may think that shooting within or just outside the penalty area shows off skill. Being able to consistently shoot in this area and cause harm is the mark of a shooting expert, like Manchester United's Greenwood.

That view isn't wrong.

For an ordinary player's shooting skill, Greenwood's is actually very impressive.

But... for top-level experts, that's merely entry-level shooting skill.

Such straightforward shooting, you can make the shot, and the super goalkeeper can predict it, making a save not difficult.

Truly top-tier shooting skills are instinctual shots at close range, with almost no reaction time, inside the small penalty area.

And the ability to shoot from the super long-distance area beyond twenty-five meters.

Both of these kinds of shots are difficult for even a super goalkeeper to save.

The former is entirely a shooter's instinct, often an unthinking shot, and whether it scores is not something a player can decide consciously; it totally depends on whether they have the talent and the fate.

And the latter requires not only excellent thigh conditions, and precise judgment of the point of landing, but also the ability to master or be familiar with those irregular changes of direction in the air.

Those changes cannot be precisely controlled, but with enough kicks, it's possible to exploit them.

Beckham's Curved Moon Blade, C Luo's Elevator Ball, Juninho's Falling Leaves Ball, Carlos's powerful shot, all make use of these irregular trajectory deviations in super long-distance shots.

And right now, Izlalete's super long-distance shot also has an irregular trajectory.

Judging by Izlalete's technique, he definitely has in-depth research into this kind of long-distance shot.

Swoosh!

The ball hits the net.

Izlalete scores a brace!

After the goal, Izlalete points both hands to the sky, humble and low-key, yet impossible to ignore.

Areola gets up and angrily slaps the turf.

He hates himself for not being able to block this critical goal.

The game was about to end.

Damn it!

"Those favored by the Overdraft God often have to pay huge interest," Lu Yang walks past Izlalete, glancing at Izlalete's thigh.

Whether it's beating someone in a step or a Big Step Meteor, or a super long-distance shot, they all put a huge burden on the legs.

Carlos, C Luo, Bell, Batistuta, all these people have suffered severe leg and knee injuries.

Even with their devilish muscular bodies, they couldn't avoid it.

Lu Yang himself previously also injured his knee and meniscus from powerful shots.

Without being "Ironman," Lu wouldn't be able to talk about retiring from professional football, but he definitely wouldn't have the bright future he has now.

Time is humanity's greatest enemy.

And injury is the second greatest enemy for players.

You can only avoid it but can't confront it head-on.

Later in his career, C Luo almost never took Elevator Ball free kicks and rarely scored them because he chose to retreat proactively from injuries.

This allowed him to become one of the few players to fully retire while under the threat of injury.

If not... the repeated injuries like Bell experienced serve as the best example.

The reason Lu Yang wants to form his own football team is certainly for future considerations. But the current priority is using scientific and systematic observation and assessment to plan his career path.

Izlalete indeed has immense talent, but recklessly flaunting this talent will subject him to the wrath of the gods in the future.

The groin, thigh muscles, and knees will all become his Achilles' heel.

Humans are like a machine; with the increase in usage over time, all sorts of problems will arise.

The reason young people don't feel the ailments that middle-aged people do is simply that their time hasn't come, but it will come sooner or later.

"What do you mean?" Izlalete looks at Lu Yang.

"Hope you never understand," Lu Yang doesn't have time to explain further to Izlalete right now and will have plenty of opportunities later.

With added injury time, there are only five minutes left in the game.

AC Milan intends to end the game within regular time, as they start pressing forward.

After all, it's AC Milan. Even their substitutes can't be too far off in strength, at least reaching Serie B top level is not a problem.

Once they pressed up, they actually created another chance.

If it weren't for Izlalete not being good at heading balls, San Remo might have conceded the fatal goal.

In the 93rd minute of the match.

Izlalete receives the ball again, driving straight in.

Kaint attempts to ram into Izlalete but is dodged by an Izlalete leap.

But Lu Yang seizes the opportunity to tackle the ball away.

After playing the entire match, especially with explosive bursts at seventy to eighty minutes, Izlalete shows signs of fatigue, and his speed unknowingly slows a bit.

Morici picks up the ball and turns to fire a rocket pass.

Sogel desperately chases the ball and enters a fierce physical confrontation with Chaloba.

They run towards AC Milan's penalty area, tugging and bumping into each other.

Sogel, having played the entire match and lacking strength, is squeezed behind by Chaloba.

Facing the ball, Chaloba tries to head it back.

But at that moment, Sogel suddenly crouches slightly and uses his shoulder to force against Chaloba's chest.
