I AM the Football Star

”Did that bastard really sign?” Naji called late at night, clearly disgusted with a player like Talista.

”Well done! That kid is pretty good!” Bernulin, a seasoned veteran, was quick to offer congratulations.

”Really?” Kaint was obviously quite excited about it too.

Strong players aren’t afraid to team up with other strong players. Those who make them feel disgusted and awful on the field, they’re definitely not going to refuse to cooperate with such people off the field.

Because the other party has already proven their capabilities.

Many teammates messaged Lu Yang, hoping to get a definite answer from Brother Lu.

As everyone knows, the editor of the San Remo website is clearly not as reliable as Brother Lu.

And Lu Yang also began to reassure everyone: ”It’s true, Talista has joined. Don’t worry, Talista is actually a player misunderstood by the media and Inter fans. He’s a good person, you can call him Xiaota in the future!”

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, the teammates of San Remo certainly believe it.

After all, Talista, despite his notorious reputation and strong abilities.

But in front of Brother Lu, he really has no say at all.

Except for a slight victory with a phantom goal in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League, hasn’t he been killed decisively by Brother Lu every other time?

Killing you once is luck.

Killing you many times, that’s skill!

If there’s anyone in football who can make Talista truly convinced, there’s no doubt, it’s only Lu Yang.

Because even Izalelt hasn’t beaten Talista that many times.

It’s been said, the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the unyielding, the unyielding fear those who go all out.

Talista is at most unyielding.

But when Brother Lu plays, he’s really all out!

That scene of a header clearing and facial reception of shoe studs conquered not just San Remo fans, but also opponents of San Remo.

So, the next day, rumors of Talista’s transfer swept Europe.

”The two strongest strikers of the Europa League have joined forces! Tremble, Europe!”

”Unbeatable front line! With Sogel gone and Talista here, just how abnormal is San Remo’s attack now? Let the data speak!”

”44 goals in a single season, Talista unlucky with timing, only ranked fifth for European Golden Boot!”

”70 goals in a single season! If only Lu Yang were in Serie B, he would surely win this year’s European Golden Boot!”

”44 assists in a single season, Morici tops Europe, becoming the best assist player!”

”11 goals and 44 assists, Morici directly contributed to 55 goals in a single season!”

”A total of 86 assists in two and a half seasons, Morici creates the highest assist efficiency!”

”91 goals in a single season, Lu Yang’s stats have ’slightly declined’ compared to last season, with five fewer goal involvements! No difference between Italian Third Division and Serie B?”

”Career total of 54 assists, 157 goals! Lu Yang breaks the fastest 100-goal record, is the next target the fastest 200-goal record? Can be completed next season?”

”Bai Zhami scored 20 goals total last season, will San Remo’s forward line tally next season be 20+44+70?”

”Unbeatable front line! Who can stop them?”

”Morici’s assist period will erupt again? Here comes someone else who can score!”

Those optimistic have unlimited optimism for San Remo.

Initially thought that with Sogel and Versachi gone, San Remo would be severely weakened.

But now it seems their strength has not decreased but increased instead.

You could say Sogel’s future is not less promising than Talista’s, and fans would believe you.

But saying that Sogel currently isn’t less impressive than Talista would have AC Milan fans feel too embarrassed to respond.

Despite Sogel also being a capable central forward with a single season record of 22+9, compared to a monster like Talista who scores 44 goals in a season, Sogel is still considered a normal person.

Of course, there are also many who do not favor this transfer at all.

Because as everyone knows, while Lu Yang is tough externally, internally he’s a player who is willing to sacrifice and compromise.

The atmosphere in San Remo almost collapsed due to Becher’s during the Italian Third Division season.

And Talista... frankly speaking, in terms of causing trouble, he’s ten times better than Becher’s.

Can San Remo really hold it together?

”Can past grudges be easily resolved? Check out the trash talk archive between Lu Yang and Talista.”

”Trash talk? Sorry, the conflict between Lu Yang and Talista has long escalated to the level of foul play!”

”Mortal enemies, grievances resolved with a smile? Has San Remo overestimated Lu Yang’s charisma or underestimated Talista’s inherent flaws!”

”San Remo surely doomed next season! Talista is an antagonist that no team can truly control!”

”Inter’s lesson still fresh, does San Remo think they’ve hit the jackpot?”

”Greed leads San Remo to ruin!”

The debate never ends.

The news of Talista joining San Remo left many confused.

Especially Atletico Madrid, who naturally were the most perplexed.

They thought they had an easy catch, but someone else intercepted it.

This...

Luckily!

Old Mar never misses a trick.

Though they missed out on the opportunity to pick up Talista, Atletico Madrid still has Manzuyovich as a backup plan.

So Atletico’s transfer manager began contacting Manzuyovich’s agent, confirming signing times and etc.

However, Manzuyovich’s response was to hold on for now and reassess.

Atletico was stunned.

Reassess what?

Soon, they found out.

Manzuyovich’s agent flew to Barcelona, where reporters captured him having an agreeable dinner with Barça’s coach Gudiola in a restaurant.
