Chapter 121: Chapter 115: I Saw, Thought, and Then Did It—This Act Is Really Satisfying! _3

"They all say Mancini has a keen eye, especially when it comes to spotting young players!"

"Good horses are always around, but it’s hard to find a discerning trainer. Playing under Mancini is a huge blessing for young players; their abilities can be maximized!"

"Look at that, no wonder he’s our famous Italian coach. It would be great if he could go coach the national team."

At this moment, the gray-haired Milan sports reporter began to ask Tang Long questions again.

"Tang, I’d like to ask you, Mr. Mancini’s tactical adjustments had an immediate effect, allowing the team to equalize the score. How did you feel at that moment? What was the team’s mindset like? And was your positioning behind the attacking midfielder today a deliberate arrangement by Mr. Mancini? Could you talk about how Mancini has influenced you tactically since joining Inter over the past six months?"

Hearing the reporter’s question.

Mancini’s heart skipped a beat.

A fleeting trace of unease flashed in his eyes~

As a head coach with years of experience in Serie A and the Premier League, he knows how to deal with the media.

Even speaking in front of reporters doesn’t make him blush or feel uneasy.

But what made Mancini uncomfortable was that Tang Long was sitting right next to him!

If he had come to the press conference with another player, perhaps he wouldn’t have felt so awkward.

Is this kid going to expose me in public when he speaks later?

Mancini’s heart felt slightly apprehensive, and he sneaked a glance at Tang Long.

Tang Long noticed Mancini’s unease as well.

He just smiled faintly and gave Mancini enough face.

"It’s well known that Mr. Mancini is Italy’s top tactical master. His immediate battlefield management is also top-notch, always injecting new energy into the team at crucial moments."

Tang Long glanced at Mancini, nodded, and then turned to continue speaking to the reporters, "Kovacic was suddenly moved from defensive midfielder to attacking midfielder. This kind of on-the-spot adjustment, in fact, Mr. Mancini started rehearsing within the team a week ago; it was just used appropriately today at the right time."

The people below were suddenly enlightened!

Words of praise rang out once again!

It turns out that Mancini’s personnel arrangement, which seemed like an on-the-spot adjustment, was actually prepared a week before the game!

And it happened to be employed effectively in this match against Udinese, proving his tactical coaching was successful.

"Sure enough, it’s the seasoned Mancini!"

"In this regard, Stramaccioni is still a bit too inexperienced!"

The gray-haired questioner was very satisfied with this answer.

While raising his thumb to Mancini, he was rapidly tapping away on the keyboard, quickly writing the draft.

Finally, when the reporters asked Tang Long why he chose to make a long-range shot from such a distance.

Tang Long’s reply seemed rather understated.

"I saw it, thought of it, and then I did it, that’s it."

After saying this brief sentence, Tang Long remained silent.

He leaned back, took a sip of water.

The reporters below, who were eagerly expecting Tang Long to give a detailed account of his psychological state at that time, expecting his mouth to crack a smile up to his ears.

But unexpectedly, Tang Long responded to them with such a brief sentence.

And it seemed understated, not a hint of excitement from a dramatic goal.

To know this goal from the center circle, not to mention being a candidate for the best goal of the Serie A season.

Even after the year is over, it has a great chance of winning the Puskás Award in the world of football!

The reporters below were stunned, and after a brief 5-second silence, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted.

This answer is incredibly bold!

The aura of dominance surged straight to the rooftop of the press conference!

"I saw it, thought of it, and then I did it!"

These European reporters are very familiar with such a phrase.

In 47 BC.

Caesar of the Roman Republic, after completely defeating Vernac II, wrote in his letter to the Senate the first sentence:

"VENI VIDI VICI!"

Translated, it means "I came, I saw, I conquered"!

Tang Long’s words have a striking resemblance to Caesar of Rome 2000 years ago!

It showcases the heroism and dominance of a top commander.

Only, the former was on the battlefield, while the latter is on the football field.

But there’s a saying that during peacetime, football is war without smoke.

At this moment.

In the hearts of these reporters below, Tang Long’s image is as towering as that of their ancestor, Caesar!

Faced with the applause from the reporters, Tang Long still maintained a calm demeanor.

So composed that even the Inter coach Mancini sitting beside him couldn’t help but glance sideways.

Why are you so calm, not even cracking a smile?

Although Tang Long remained outwardly silent.

Inside, waves were churning.

At that time, the AI hotspot map in his mind had long hinted that the goalkeeper was positioned forward, suggesting he could attempt a long-range shot.

Tang Long initially intended to use the front of the foot to strike the ball.

However, at that moment, with energy exhausted, Tang Long was unsure if he had the strength left to firmly direct the ball into the opponent’s goal.

After all, this distance is estimated to be close to 60 meters!

In that instant, Tang Long suddenly recalled the subtle ankle movement during the Ground Strike simulation with De Bruyne’s model in the AI Cloud Training Ground~

To increase ball speed, you’ll either need to apply force or impart spin.

Given my strength at that moment was depleted, only a curved shot could ensure that the ball goes steadily into the net before the goalkeeper rushes back to the goal!

At the moment of impact, Tang Long added a twist to his supporting left foot.

This spin indeed accelerated his kicking speed!

This strike was made with the inside of the foot, and with the added curve, the ball flew with speed no less impressive than a direct shot from the front of the foot!

The Udinese goalkeeper could only look at the ball in despair, helplessly accepting the humiliation of being lobbed.

Of course, all these decisions and the performance were made in the blink of an eye.

Tang Long certainly wouldn’t tell the reporters why he made that decision as the ball was descending.

These are Tang Long’s own secrets.

They just need to know I scored the goal, clinched the victory, and that’s enough.

And incidentally, show off in front of these Italian reporters.

Looking at those reporters who enthusiastically started writing on their laptops after applauding, eager to tell the world what he said.

Tang Long felt this show of bravado was really exhilarating~
