February 13, the day before Valentine's Day. The next day, Santos will face Ituiano at home. Conventionally, Curry announced the 18-man roster to represent the team tomorrow. Lu Feng was selected into the roster again.

Although Santos's forward line is not bad, Padu and Gill were injured one after another. Claybel has just recovered from injury and his condition cannot be guaranteed. As a last resort, Curry had to prepare to start Lu Feng, the important hero who won the game.

In fact, Curry didn't want to give Lu Feng a chance to play so quickly, mainly because Lu Feng is too young. Young players should grow slowly. Starting from the youth team, to substitutes, to rotations, to main players, and starting directly, this is not about caring for young players, but about harm.

Don’t forget that the policy of Zidanega Pavin in the second phase of the Galaxy Battleships ruined the talented young defender like Pavin. After staying in Brazil for so many years, Curry has a lot of experience in how to train young players.

Lu Feng also read the roster by Curry, and was called to the head coach's office by Curry.

This is also the first time Lu Feng has come to the head coach's office in Santos, and it looks no different. Compared with the Suning team manager's office in China, it looks even more shabby.

"Sit." Curry took the lead and pointed to the stool beside him.

Lu Feng sat down silently, feeling very nervous. He didn't know what the head coach asked him to come. After all, he wouldn't have thought that Curry would let him start tomorrow.

Even Curry had a lot of controversy when discussing with the coaching staff. Seeing Lu Feng's slightly cramped look, Curry smiled.

"Lu Feng, don't be nervous. I heard that you are learning free kicks with Fernandos recently?"

"Yes, coach." Lu Feng didn't know what Curry was coming, so he had to nod and answer.

Curry saw that Lu Feng was still nervous and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Lu Feng was still too young.

"Let me do it this way, I'll just say it. Tomorrow's game, you start and perform better."

"Really?" Lu Feng couldn't believe his ears. The head coach asked him to start, was he dreaming. He pinched his face. It hurt, it was not dreaming.

"You start tomorrow, but if you perform poorly, you can stay in the youth team in the future. Don't expect a chance to play in the first team." Curry warned Lu Feng with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, coach." Lu Feng patted his chest hard. "I will definitely perform well in tomorrow's game and strive to score."

Curry couldn't help laughing. This kid really doesn't know that the world is high and he wants to score goals. Do you really think scoring a goal is a simple thing? Those top forwards dare not say that they score goals in every game. Curry waved his hand and signaled that Lu Feng could leave.

"Well, go ahead, remember, if you let me down, just stay with the youth team."

"I understand coach, don't worry." Lu Feng couldn't control his inner joy when he heard the good news that he could start. The smile on his face couldn't hide, and he jumped out of the head coach's office.

Curry shook his head. Lu Feng had both talent and diligence, but he was still too young and could not control his emotions.

..

The next day, Santos Cal Dela Stadium, Santos faces Ituiano at home. Compared with the previous round of the league, Santos only made two adjustments to the starting lineup. One was that Lu Feng replaced the injured Jill, and the other was that Sammy was suspended and replaced by Unamno.

"This is Cardela Stadium, where Santos faces Ituiano at home. The super substitute in the last game, Lu Feng, who was only 16 years old, will start in this game. In the last round, Lu Feng scored two crucial goals, helping Santos escape from Campinas Stadium and scored three points. I wonder if Lu Feng can continue his excellent performance in the last round in this game.

However, Curry's beloved player Sammy was unable to play due to injury, replacing his 31-year-old veteran Unamno. However, it is reported that Sammy was suspended by head coach Curry because she was late for training in the nightclub. Curry denied this statement at a pre-match press conference.

Santos' strength is significantly higher than that of his opponent, so Ituano, who played away, lined up three midfielders, and seemed to be very afraid of Santos' offense. Santos' side is still the 442 formation we are familiar with, and Curry has not made any changes."

Compared with away games, in addition to familiarity with the venue, the support and shouting of fans will undoubtedly increase the morale of home team players. On the contrary, the away team players have to bear huge booing interference. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for fans to be called the 12th man on the team.

Lu Feng, who started for the first time, was very excited when he followed his teammates to the court. Even though Lu Feng knew in his heart that so many cheers and applause belonged to him, after all, for the fans of his teammate Santos, Lu Feng was just a young player with outstanding performance.

Many young players became famous in one game and then fell rapidly. No one knew whether Lu Feng was one of them. Therefore, for Lu Feng, many Santos fans recognized his performance in the last game, and remained on the wait-and-see attitude towards Lu Feng's future in the team.

With the whistle of Argentina referee Parisi, the whole game officially began. Ituano won the kick-off. After the kick-off, he made a tentative attack and handed over the control of the ball to Santos. The formation of Santos seems to be 442, but in fact it is 4411. Lu Feng's position is behind another striker Levies.

Due to Lu Feng's dreamy performance in the last game, Ituiano did not relax his defense against Lu Feng in this game. Beside Lu Feng, Ituano's midfielder Robbente kept following Lu Feng to defend closely. Midfielder Hesi Silva and another striker Leviers were also treated the same way.

Ten minutes before the game, even though Santos got nearly 80% of the ball possession rate, he never found a good offensive opportunity. Most of the offenses would be destroyed once the 30-meter area was destroyed. Five shots were all long shots, and the real threatening attack was almost gone.

In the 16th minute, Silva, Leviers and Benjamin cooperated in a small range and successfully sent the ball into the penalty area. After Lu Feng got the ball, he passed the ball to Louis, who was unmarked. The latter actually knocked the ball away directly when facing an almost empty goal.

Lu Feng was so angry that he didn't even enter the empty gate. If he had known it, he would have come by himself. Next time, if he had such an opportunity, he would have to come by himself.

In the 21st minute, after Santos's team fell down continuously outside the penalty area, Leviers suddenly stepped in, and Benjamin passed the ball just right to avoid Leviers' offside. Facing the opponent's defense teammate's backup defense, Leviers transferred the ball to Lu Feng who was surrounding the back point.
