I AM the Football Star

Only when you have a good relationship can you joke like this.

Because this almost feels like killing Lu Yang with praise.

Of course, Bernulin wouldn’t kill Lu Yang with praise. He will help Lu Yang integrate well into the match.

Italy’s second Gate God Ameluci: ”This time, I don’t believe Italy can’t score, because we’ve brought in the most goal-scoring youngster in Italy right now!”

Roma Captain Perrotta: ”The last time I saw Lu was at the Star of Italy event. From then on, Maniero told me that Lu is a big-hearted player.”

”And my Roma really was blocked by him before the Italian Cup final last season. We could have had one more Italian Cup!”

”Now, Lu, it’s time to prove whether you are truly a big-hearted player. For many, the next two matches might be the most important ones!”

Italy’s third Captain, Roma’s deputy Drake: ”He’s here, he’s here! This kid’s footwork is solid, I bet he will definitely score! I’m willing to bet my entire fortune! For Italy!”

These are all big bosses from Serie A.

Their statements also show Italy Team’s welcome to Lu Yang.

But Morici, who is beside Lu Yang, seems to have become invisible.

Looking at these news, Morici feels almost betrayed.

Hearing these words, Tia responded with a slap?

Say that again?

Morici then remembered he was no longer single.

Sigh.

Back then, Lu Dog was merely an addition to me, Morici.

Unexpectedly, now the big bosses only have eyes for Lu Dog.

Live long enough and you’ll see everything! Truly, live long enough!

Don’t they realize that all of Lu Dog’s goals are fed by me, Morici?

Seeing gold and not knowing it.

Praying to Guan Yu at a Buddhist temple!

Just watch, real bosses won’t argue with you.

When I unleash my prowess in the playoff games, providing endless assists, you’ll see who truly is the real god of Italy Team’s future!

...

The day after the roster was announced.

Lu Yang and Morici appeared at the entrance of the national team’s training base.

Three days later, they were supposed to have a league match.

But now, that’s no longer important.

The brothers from San Remo patted their chests one by one, reassuring Lu Yang and Morici that they would surely stabilize the league situation during the days when the main leaders are away.

Hearing this, Morici felt deeply relieved.

Turns out the brothers know I’m the main boss of San Remo. Indeed, the masses’ eyes are bright.

Until Bernulin, who came to welcome Lu Yang and Morici, pulled out his phone: ”Hey, Naji, yeah, Lu Yang and them have arrived. Don’t worry, I, as the second boss, will take good care of San Remo’s main boss!”

Morici fine.

On the training field, Italy Team’s training had already begun.

Everyone is comfortable; the head coach hasn’t changed; everyone knows what to do.

First, warm-up, then practice some simple foundational offensive routines.

Everything else depends on the players’ individual performances.

The players who can come to the national team mostly have strong abilities.

Being overly restrictive would actually hamper their performance.

This is Vincent’s current request to everyone.

Why is it said to be the current stage? Because these players are already very familiar with Vincent’s tactical system.

Early on, they also received a lot of tactical input from Vincent, a relatively difficult acceptance process.

This is actually why Vincent’s national team wasn’t very welcoming of newcomers.

Because the previous players have matured, Vincent truly has no patience to wait for newcomers to familiarize themselves with the team’s tactical system.

How long would that take?

He doesn’t have the time for that.

Thus, when Lu Yang and Morici played for a while on the field, they felt something was off.

There were many mistakes in their cooperation with others.

So many that both Lu Yang and Morici hadn’t felt this way in a long time.

Too unadaptive.

But neither took it to heart.

This is a necessary path to integration.

In fact, with Lu Yang’s super vision and Morici’s solid fundamentals and midfield talent, both of them could actually reduce the number of mistakes!

Simply pass back.

Passing back never goes wrong.

But…this doesn’t align with Lu Yang and Morici’s football philosophy.

And it’s detrimental to Italy Team.

It’s purely damaging to others while benefitting oneself.

This is not something Brother Lu could do.

”Stop!”

Vincent angrily stopped the training match from the sidelines and replaced Lu Yang and Morici.

Both looked at each other, puzzled.

Damn!

How long has it been since we’ve been replaced?

Just when we were starting to feel the rhythm, what’s the meaning of this?

Only letting people fail, not allowing them to redeem themselves?

On the other side, Maniero, who rarely spoke before, commented next to Vincent: ”Lu Yang and Morici’s mistakes seem frequent, but they are actually trying to move forward.”

”It’s indeed difficult to perform such offensive cooperation between unfamiliar players.”

”But their intention is good. Once they build the consensus for forward attack with the current players, our offensive end will immediately see great improvement.”

”We should give them more time to integrate into the team.”

Normal players trying to integrate into a team actually takes time.

Passing to each other, small cooperations, team tactical cooperations, and so on.

But who are Lu Yang and Morici?

Geniuses!

They know, they don’t have that much time to develop tacit understanding with teammates.

Because they are ”mobile personnel.”

Even Lu Yang’s selection this time was due to media pressure and Lu Yang’s performance in the European Youth Championship and brilliance in the league.
