I AM the Football Star

”The ball is in! It’s in! My God, it’s actually in!”

”This ball really went in!”

”No one can believe it! No one!”

”Lu Yang has saved Italy! Italy is in the lead! They’re ahead three to two, look at Italy leading!”

”Roar!”

All the Italian players began to celebrate wildly.

Lu Yang spread his arms and sprinted across the field, feeling the exhilarating wind, until he was toppled to the ground!

”I knew it! You damn well could do it!” Morici pressed down on Lu Yang, even more excited than Lu Yang.

After all, Morici was under a lot of pressure for this free kick.

He openly contested for the free kick with Italy’s top player.

He didn’t even know where he got the guts at that time.

”Brother Lu, you’re awesome!” Bernulin also jumped on.

Age doesn’t matter; Brother Lu is always Brother Lu, no matter how old he is!

Scoring makes you the boss!

”You’re simply the God of Italy! God!” Praxedes went completely crazy.

It was incredibly tough!

This year has been a nightmare for Praxedes.

They were overturned in the Italian Cup final.

They were overturned in the Champions League final.

They were knocked out in the European Cup qualifiers.

The European Cup play-offs were hanging by a thread!

If they lost this match, Praxedes feared he might never recover, possibly even quitting football!

His confidence was utterly shattered.

But luckily.

The young man who once shattered AC Milan’s confidence has returned it all!

Praxedes finally saw a glimmer of victory!

More and more players rushed over, piling into a human tower.

This included Ancelotti, who had previously had some minor disputes with Lu Yang and Morici.

Victory can briefly make the team forget all rifts.

Meanwhile, on the bench, Maniero and the substitute players were also celebrating wildly.

Especially Candreva.

He was crying intensely; he had made huge sacrifices, and Lu Yang and Morici didn’t let him down.

He burned himself to illuminate Morici and Lu Yang.

And these two illuminated the entire Italy!

Even Real Madrid’s superstar Zidane, from across the screen, was stunned, touching his gradually smooth head: ”I’ve never seen such an amazing match-winning performance!”

”It’s one of the most spectacular last-minute victories in the world! Even more brilliant than my Celestial Flying Immortal back in the day!”

”Before this match started, I said I wouldn’t mind playing with a player like Lu Yang. But now I’ve changed my mind. I hope Real Madrid can sign this player; he will bring championships to Real Madrid!”

Zidane’s words sounded inspiring, but whether they were self-serving is another matter.

As a Real Madrid midfielder primarily playing in the attacking midfield, Zidane knew Real Madrid had some new ideas for his position lately.

Real Madrid seemed to greatly admire that highly popular Serie A star, Izalelt!

Don’t doubt the appeal of Real Madrid.

Every player has a dream of playing for Real Madrid; it’s just whether Real Madrid is willing to inspire that dream.

If Izalelt really arrives at the Bernabéu, the pressure on Zidane would be imaginable.

Even if he remains a starter, his position would certainly be further back, becoming a midfield commander.

Although Zidane has the ability to handle it, the pride of a superstar is to play the position he’s best at during his peak.

Zidane believes it’s not time for him to step down from attacking midfield yet.

By contrast, if Real Madrid buys Lu Yang, Zidane’s position wouldn’t be shaken.

On one hand, Lu Yang’s current ability is far inferior to Izalelt.

On the other hand, Lu Yang himself has the ability to play multiple positions; he can adapt to Zidane, without requiring Zidane to adapt to Lu Yang.

Lastly, Lu Yang is still young, and as long as Zidane and the team invest effort, Lu Yang could accept playing a supporting role for two years.

By then, Zidane would be ready to gracefully step aside for Lu Yang and support him.

Everything is so perfect.

That’s why recently, Zidane has shown his appreciation for Lu Yang multiple times on social media.

This is the world of adults.

At the same time, Barça’s new head coach, Jose Guardiola, was about to start a pre-match press conference when all the reporters went crazy.

He asked what happened, and the staff showed Guardiola the replay of the recent goal.

Guardiola also touched his bald head, saying it was unbelievable.

”I never touch my own head lightly unless I feel something is magical or desperate!” Guardiola said, ”It’s one of the most spectacular goals in the world! For the next year, players don’t need to think about scoring beautiful goals anymore.”

”Because no matter how hard you try, next year’s Puskas Award is bound to be this goal!”

”Let’s congratulate the player named Lu Yang in advance for winning the Puskas Award for three consecutive years. It will be a shining record never seen before and never to be seen again!”

A reporter then asked if Barça would like to see Lu Yang appear at Camp Nou.

Guardiola laughed and avoided answering, instead saying: ”Maybe because I come from a midfield background, I truly admire Morici. If there’s an opportunity, I wouldn’t mind seeing Barça’s higher-ups bring Morici’s talent to Camp Nou!”

Lu Yang doesn’t suit Barça; Guardiola could see that instantly.

So, even if Lu Yang is impressive, Guardiola could only offer a ”sorry” to Brother Lu!
