I AM the Football Star

Chapter 105: Chapter 42: Captain Election, Five S Stand United! (Part 2)

In his eyes, there was an uncommon sparkle.

Lu Yang nodded and said, ”Of course it’s true! His way is... to keep dribbling, breaking through one opponent after another, and then kicking that damn football into the net!”

At this moment, Bai Zhami was stunned.

Lu Yang’s words undoubtedly struck his soul.

Italian football places a strong emphasis on tactical systems from defense to attack.

Bai Zhami is out of place here.

From his first day at Inter, he was taught to work well with his teammates.

But teamwork is also a kind of talent, and Bai Zhami lacked this talent.

He thought there was only one way to play football.

It wasn’t until he met Lu Yang today that he saw another side of football.

Of course, Lu Yang didn’t tell Bai Zhami that even someone as strong as Messi could only leave that World Cup early with that style of play.

But that was the World Cup.

For San Remo, competing in the Italian Third Division next season, even a Bai Zhami who only knows how to rush forward is useful.

Chelsea’s courageous Champions League win, with the biggest contribution undoubtedly from Kante.

But the chaos created up front by Werner, taking away two central defenders in one go, was one of the direct reasons for the goal.

His threat cannot be ignored.

In the second half, Chelsea’s offensive narrowed, partly because Manchester City finally played with a defensive midfielder, but also because Werner was substituted!

Therefore, the ”push push push” style can definitely play a role in team football!

So Lu Yang wants to activate Bai Zhami, not allowing him to drown in an ocean of inferiority, thereby losing the sharpness he originally possessed.

”Is there really football that involves constant dribbling and passing?” Bai Zhami predictably became unsure of himself again.

”Yes, really. I’ll perform it for you when I have the time,” said Lu Yang.

This time, Bai Zhami was amused.

How to perform?

Lu Yang’s dribbling is obviously not as strong as Bai Zhami’s.

But regardless, Bai Zhami appreciated Lu Yang’s kind intentions.

And he also realized the correct way to play his game from now on.

No longer seeking cooperation with the team, but rather becoming a sharp dribbler or even a scorer!

...

”Star of Italy” has premiered.

The documentary-style reality show featuring forty-five young talented players assembling for participation is a first in World Football.

Everyone wants to see Italy’s star creation capability.

At the same time, this is an opportunity to observe the talents of Italy’s younger generation of players.

After all, in recent years, the Italy National Team has been repeatedly unsuccessful, losing more than winning, far from the Italy Team that won the World Cup twelve years ago.

”Isn’t this Aguirre? I remember he played in Serie A last season? He’s Rome’s right winger!”

”There’s even a Serie A player, the credentials are high!”

”There’s also Sevajos from the Ligue 1 championship team Monaco, he looks really suave playing, very graceful!”

”Parrot from Porto is pretty good, very good at scoring!”

”Lam from Premier League Liverpool is very solid in defense, he has the demeanor of a general!”

”Eh, why are there players from the Italian D Division? Is this considered a talent?”

”Brother, are you uninformed? This is Lu Yang! Sofia’s rumored boyfriend!”

”Damn! It’s him! Why?”

”Isn’t just having this handsome face enough?”

”Uh... Although I’m not convinced, I actually think it makes a lot of sense.”

Soon, the conflict between Aguirre and Bai Zhami appeared before everyone.

Aguirre’s excessive cursing was blurred out, but people could still deduce his words based on his mouth movements.

For a moment, many people were dissatisfied with Aguirre.

And this dissatisfaction was vented when Lu Yang stepped in.

After Lu Yang cleanly and decisively defeated Aguirre, there was a chorus of approval online.

Comments like ”Indeed, the man Sofia fancies, truly domineering”, ”You can bully anyone, but you can’t bully San Remo’s players, so collective-minded”, ”This is a real man” were continuously voiced by netizens.

Lu Yang instantly gained numerous fans.

Meanwhile, in real life, at the Juventus Stadium, the training camp moves to the next stage.

Joint training!

Which means actual matches.

Maniero announced in front of the players: ”Guys, next, you have to prove your strength with real combat. First, we need to elect two captains, one for Team A and one for Team B.”

”The two team captains will each select 17 players, forming an 18-man squad, and then start the match.”

”Players who perform well during the match will be documented, of course, the winning team will have performance bonuses.”

”The nine players not selected, along with the thirteen who rank lower or have fewer performance opportunities in the match, will form two new teams, Team C and Team D, for another match.”

”At this point, we will complete the entire selection process, choosing a 24-man squad, then beginning formal team training.”

”Among these twenty-four, eighteen will be kept to face Championship Millwall, England U19, and Premier League Arsenal. Under the watch of the entire world, they will fully showcase their talents!”

”Believe me, as long as you are excellent enough, you will quickly win contracts from giant clubs or opportunities for loans to strong teams! Now, let’s begin by selecting the captains of Teams A and B.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to discuss.

”I want to be Team A’s captain, I will lead everyone to victory. And victory will allow more of us to stay!” Aguirre stepped forward.
