I AM the Football Star

”Arsenal’s first goal, that’s how Olic’s pass came about!”

”Indeed!”

”Also, notice Lu Yang’s sliding tackle. Did you see it? Lu Yang hasn’t made any sliding tackles with his left side on the ground because his left hand can’t bear weight!”

”And his running posture is obviously uncoordinated, with significantly less movement in his left arm, resulting in reduced speed.”

”I suddenly understand why Morici said it’s just a fracture. I don’t intend to harm Koschel, but comparatively, the fracture seems to have little impact on Lu Yang.”

”Lu Yang is still tough! Previously, with a torn cruciate ligament, he got an injection and played, and you couldn’t tell he was severely injured during the match. I even thought he might have taken performance-enhancing drugs!”

”I heard the meniscus is also wearing out? But his shooting seems fine?”

”You know, after that injury, Lu Yang’s speed has significantly increased!”

”It’s too mysterious! After this arm injury, I wonder what new features Lu Yang will develop?”

All signs indicate that Lu Yang was already fractured during that match!

Yet he delivered a godlike performance, leaving people in disbelief.

Is the level of Italy’s lower leagues so impressive now?

Such a strong Lu Yang, yet he’s only playing in Serie B?

Is San Remo too strong or Arsenal too weak?

The rapid turnaround left people astonished.

Over in the Premier League, they were just mocking Italy, but suddenly got involved in this issue.

A user with the ID ”Half Box of Great China” claimed to be a physics PhD student, used models to calculate and presented a series of data to show Lu Yang didn’t cause Koschel’s fracture; it was actually caused by Arsenal’s and England’s double goalkeeper—Marduk!

When scholars speak with data, ordinary people have no say.

Just applaud and say ’bravo’.

And so, the war also ignited on England’s side.

Even conspiracy theorist fans jokingly said that England has good tactics, using this double-edged strategy to their advantage.

Not only did they incapacitate the main center-back of the French Team, strong opponents in the European Cup, but also wiped out Italy’s top goal scorer. England totally won this round.

You can imagine how awkward English fans felt.

After all that gossip, they found out the subject was themselves.

This messy matter was thought to be almost concluded.

But Jeffery refused to give up.

Anyone smart enough could see from the media covering this incident that it was Jeffery preparing to deal with Lu Yang, to show Italian football some colors.

You can stage a coup.

But I can give you trouble.

You’ve won a European competition title, but you can’t win European competition every year. I have a hundred ways to make it difficult for you in this circle.

Jie Liangchen can’t be insulted lightly!

Many people from England, Spain, and France received Jeffery’s invitation to have tea.

So the next day, media from England, Spain, France, and other places came forward to refute the arguments supporting Lu Yang.

Various nonsense.

Although it’s nonsense, these claims were reposted by reputable media, dodging the heavy points, even ignoring Lu Yang’s injury completely, distorting the facts.

If initially it was about exploiting the incident to discuss Koschel’s attack on Lu Yang and the Italian Football Association.

Now it’s about distorting black and white, pointing the wrong way, manipulating right and wrong.

From this point onwards, it truly became a European media warfare.

The media that only reports the truth, the conscience media.

But those that can distort and fabricate facts can become reputable media in developed countries.

Everyone deeply understands this.

From this moment, UEFA truly prepared to slap Italian football in front of the world.

To tell them, whether you have reason or not, if I say you’re unreasonable, you’re unreasonable, even if you’re reasonable, you’re not!

...

”Ding! You’ve received Lionel Messi’s gift.”

”Ding! You’ve led your team to win the Europa League championship, earning a reward. You may choose one attribute to enhance to superstar level!”

”You were elected UEFA Europa League Player of the Year, Golden Boot, and selected for the UEFA Europa League Best Team, earning 3 Essence Points as reward!”

”Ding! Data overflow, earned two Essence Points cashback.”

Speed 84-95

Tight Ball Control 82-84

Long Pass 83-84

Curvature 83-84

Jump 81-84

Leg Power 83-84

Lu Yang put his Essence Points into Jump.

No other reason, many of his stats have reached the 84 limit.

Simultaneously, he also used his single-item superstar level data opportunity for Speed, raising his speed to a whopping 95!

This reward, to put it plainly, is much stronger than two or three Moment Cards.

Since it’s a permanent enhancement, and it boosts the fundamental abilities!

Actually, to maximize profit, it should be applied to those stats that just hit 80, raising them by 15 points immediately.

But Speed is so crucial for football.

It’s a visibly significant boost and has a high ceiling.

Relying on various skills, Lu Yang’s abilities in critical moments often exceed panel data.

For example, his dribbling and ball control, seemingly at ordinary star level in the Five Major Leagues, but in good form with Divine Dragon Tail, Fried Meatballs, Marseille Turn, Bicycle Boy, and Human-Ball Separation, a full combo can be overwhelming.
