The perfect center forward: Becoming a soccer king from the corner of Chuanu Chapter 036

A beautiful day began with warm-up training, and on the rest day, Lucia directly took Maria to the streets of London.

As the focus of public opinion, the two immediately attracted the attention of reporters when they went out.

After accepting the interview, Lucia took the opportunity to create a buzz for their collaborative project.

Perhaps by accident, it could create some hype for the blind box figurines that hadn’t even started yet.

“Lucia Praises Maria’s Design Talent, Partners to Open a Company to Support the Young Girl’s Career!”

“Disappointment on the Field, Success in Love: Hammers’ New Star Appears in London with Blue Moon Princess!”

“Integrating Chinese Elements, Football Newcomer’s Strange Business Project”

These news stories once again made the bald man in Manchester completely lose it! He returned to England but didn’t come to see him; instead, he went to that number 66 striker!

“Gilipollas! Call your precious daughter and ask her if she’s studying in Milan or attending classes in London??”

Tactical boards and magnets were scattered all over the desk. Guardiola, shouting at Serra, had lost his usual composure on the field.

Guardiola, half-dead with anger from his rebellious eldest daughter, took a long time to gradually lower his blood pressure.

After clicking on Lucia’s social media and seeing Maria’s revealing reply, he turned red-hot again!

– “A 187CM tall player can make this move; it’s easy to imagine how explosive Lucia’s body is!”

Maria: “Couldn’t agree more! ”

…

Completely unaware that he had once again annoyed the petty Guardiola, Lucia was interacting closely with her fans online after dropping Maria off at the airport.

A trending comment successfully moved this young player.

“I hope to gain something by the end of this season, to see Lucia’s Void Walk, Bilic’s stage performance, and Carroll’s high-flying header graffiti become local internet-famous attractions in Newham.

Then suddenly one day, you’ll find these painted over by Millwall fans, and Hammers fans will repaint them during the day, while opponents will paint them over at night, repeating endlessly.”

“That’s so vivid, it’s simply a fan’s romance. I can’t wait to grab my paint and go!”

“So cool~ I hope Lucia can bring us some honor this season!”

“Bro, at least I believe he will definitely bring us pounds after the season ends. Thanks, Arsenal ^o^”

Seeing the local fans’ high hopes for him, Lucia also wanted to bring honor to this team.

Although he currently only had one ability, with his starting position established, Lucia was still confident of winning a championship this season.

It’s worth noting that although West Ham United no longer had Europa League matches, domestically, besides the Premier League, there were also the League Cup and FA Cup.

How many points were needed to win the championship this season? Lucia, a casual fan, couldn’t quite remember, but it wasn’t as explosive as 97 points for a runner-up.

Set the goal big first; if you’re going to do it, do it big! With a cheat, you can’t just set the Carabao Cup as the season’s ideal, can you?

Currently only three points behind league leaders Manchester City, playing steadily and accumulating points might just allow them to create a miracle like Leicester City last year.

If there’s a real gap in strength after a few rounds, then consider the League Cup or the FA Cup, which starts in the second half of the season.

In short, improving strength and striving for honor must be pursued simultaneously and vigorously!

He systematically completed tactical drills, and an own goal created during a scrimmage also refreshed the number of times his “Push Corner” ability was activated, which further motivated Lucia, who was constantly shooting.

This also showed that practicing shooting angles was very necessary. Even if the shots didn’t go in, threatening shots had a greater chance of creating own goals and causing chaos in the box.

Therefore, in addition to the previous rapid left and right foot shooting practice, training shot quality was also essential!

A week passed quickly, and the fifth round of the Premier League arrived. The more clubs that invested heavily, the more intense the strong vs. strong matchups in the league became.

Following the Manchester Derby in the previous round, this round saw the Red-Blue battle between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Lovren and Henderson scored successively, while Costa used his physicality to overpower the center-backs and pull one back. In the end, the home team lost 1- 2 to Liverpool, with the Blues suffering their second consecutive home defeat to Liverpool.

Lucia, who watched the entire match, mainly focused on learning the close-quarters combat techniques of “The Beautiful Beast” (Diego Costa). As a lone striker, he also had to maintain his aggressiveness in confrontations.

If Carroll were still here, it would be great. At 193cm, he would be heavily marked by tall center-backs, allowing Lucia, at 187cm, to bully shorter defenders with his physicality or overpower defenders of similar build with his explosiveness.

Unfortunately, the fragile Englishman was still recovering from injury, and he was still absent from the bus heading to West Bromwich.

In addition to the impact of missing players, the Hammers, who were on their way to the match, were also underestimated by the media.

“West Ham United Starts Strong, Fades Weakly; Lucia’s True Nature Will Be Revealed After Being Thoroughly Studied!”

Head coach Bilic didn’t take it to heart at all. In the Croatian’s mind, the clumsy defensive line in this match would definitely be shocked by the Hammers, who had temporarily switched to a ground-passing style.

The twilight afterglow had not yet faded, and the two teams had already assembled at The Hawthorns. To cater to fans worldwide, the Premier League’s match times had made market-oriented compromises.

Lucia, while stepping on the pitch, saw a long-unseen splash of red in the stands. After being fully acquired by Chinese businessmen, many Chinese faces appeared in the West Brom stands. Following local customs, they had also entered the rhythm of watching a home game once a week.

West Bromwich Albion, who were undefeated in their previous four rounds, were in excellent form and eager to continue their record at home.

Meanwhile, the Hammers, who suffered a home defeat in the previous round, were eager to shake off the gloom and rediscover the feeling of victory.

The Hawthorns, which could accommodate over 20, 000 people, was packed. ESPN commentators had already started to joke about the two head coaches’ hairstyles.

It seemed English media were keen on discussing coaches’ baldness, otherwise, they wouldn’t have specifically published a news article in the future dedicated to studying bald Premier League head coaches.

“The two teams have drawn in their last six encounters, with both sides achieving one win, one draw, and one loss.

West Ham United is known for its tough style of play and powerful attacking force, while West Bromwich is famous for its tenacious defense and team cooperation.

The clashes between these two teams often spark fireworks and are very likely to bring everyone a goal feast~”

The home team, West Brom, led by their Welsh coach, lined up in a 4- 2- 3- 1 formation. Specific information is as follows:

The visiting Hammers also made some adjustments to their lineup compared to the previous rounds. Due to a shortage of personnel, Antonio started as the right-back. Specific information is as follows:

The three forwards’ positioning was mainly to quickly create a multi-point attack in the front field, generating a large number of offensive opportunities through flexible movement and excellent cooperation among the forwards.

However, Lucia, as the center forward, looked at the 195cm McAuley and 188cm Evans and felt overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the head coach had instructed him in advance that this match’s main goal was to use his excellent off-the-ball movement and explosiveness to harass the defensive line.

If opportunities in the middle were scarce, Lucia decided to move autonomously, learning from his namesake friend, the flat-topped Lukaku, by drifting wide and then cutting in behind from the half-space!
