At least that's what the Republican Newspaper thought.
Soon, on November 7th, the thirteenth round of the Italian Third Division kicked off, San Remo vs Como.
Como Team clearly listened to the Republican Newspaper's advice, focusing on defending Lu Yang's shots from the flank area.
In the first half of the match, Lu Yang's performance was indeed not outstanding.
He frequently shuttled back and forth on both sides, connecting passes or returning the ball, but was never able to create a truly threatening attack.
He initiated four long-range shots from his sweet spot.
Three times from the left flank, once from the right flank.
Two were blocked, and two deviated from the goal to avoid being blocked.
Quite a few Como fans felt it was a false alarm and not much to worry about.
After all, the Italian Third Division team's prior fear of Lu Yang's flank blasts had become somewhat exaggerated, as if every kick would score.
