I AM the Football Star

The whistle of the main referee seemed to possess magic.

After the sound rang out, both the players of the France Team and the Italy Team collapsed on the ground, motionless.

They all looked up at the sky over the field, tears streaming from their eyes.

But some tears were bitter, while others were sweet.

Some people made up for a lifelong regret, while others left behind a lifelong regret!

The broadcast camera remained locked on Lu Yang, constantly offering various close-ups, reluctant to leave.

Because everyone knew, this match, this player named Lu Yang was truly crucial!

Both offense and defense grabbed!

Both hands were iron-blooded and hard!

The Italy Team’s coaching staff and substitute players rushed onto the field first, pulling up their teammates for a fervent celebration.

And the French Team fans in the entire stadium watched helplessly as the Italians celebrated.

In the European Cup on French soil, the France Team made it to the finals but fell at their doorstep.

In the end, the De Laurant Cup was snatched away by Italy.

But they couldn’t utter any words to deny the Italy Team.

Because... this match, Italy won it so fair and square!

Won without controversy!

”Congratulations to the Italy Team, they have achieved a historic breakthrough, winning the first European Cup in the history of Italian Football! This trophy has epoch-making significance for Italy!”

”I can confidently say that before the start of this tournament, not a single person, including those in Italy, thought it possible for Italy to be champions. Their goal was even just to advance past the group stage!”

”But this is a miracle! And... it’s already transformed from a miracle into a legend!”

”No matter how many years pass, this match will forever be one of the most exciting in European Cup history! This year’s Italy Team will be accounted for repeatedly by fans and will never be forgotten. Because their success is truly great!”

”Additionally, congratulations to Lu Yang, who with eleven goals, surpassed Robben with nine goals to become the European Golden Boot winner of this tournament!”

”Due to the Italian Third Division and Serie B, Lu Yang, as the player with the most goals in the previous two tournaments, was unable to participate in the European Golden Boot evaluation.”

”I’m not saying the selection for the European Golden Boot isn’t fair, but it indeed harms some truly strong players in lower leagues!”

”The European Golden Boot is the title of Europe’s top scorer! Similarly, the European Cup Golden Boot is also Europe’s top scorer! Lu Yang proved his scoring ability from another dimension!”

”This young player who is always accompanied by miracles, his future is limitless! He demonstrated through his actions that he’s even more capable of scoring goals than this year’s European Golden Boot!”

”Furthermore, it’s unfortunate for France Team’s Robben and Zidane; they failed to win as hoped. This may become a lifelong regret for them.”

”Robben is the Silver Boot winner of this tournament. Zidane, with ten goals, became the undisputed assist king! But compared to the European Cup championship trophy, these are all too small.”

”In terms of individual ability or team ability, France Team is stronger than Italy Team. But in this match, whether it was individual performance or team performance, Italy Team achieved a better result.”

”This is football!”

The Italy Team players held the trophy, taking photos like crazy, countless cameras entered the field to track and shoot them.

And Lu Yang was receiving the most attention during the post-match personal interview.

Reporter: ”Congratulations, Lu Yang, you’ve won the European Cup championship. Is there anything you’d like to say?”

Lu Yang: ”There’s no better game than this. Every member of this Italy Team did everything they could. These efforts combined forged the trophy we’ve received, unimaginable that we could be standing here, but at the same time, it seems only natural. Because this team has too many of the best players!”

Reporter: ”After this European Cup, your market value will surely skyrocket. Will you stay in San Remo? Will you transfer to a big team before the season starts?”

Lu Yang: ”Of course, I won’t transfer. I’ve already renewed my contract with San Remo. I believe my journey in Italy isn’t finished, and I haven’t seen the scenery of Serie A football yet!”

Reporter: ”How about next year? Will you leave?”

Lu Yang: ”No comment.”

Reporter: ”Lu Yang, why did you dare to play as a goalkeeper? You’re not a goalkeeper and haven’t received professional goalkeeper training. This could very likely have led to Italy being equaled in the last moment.”

Lu Yang: ”Reality has given you the answer. We were lucky, and we held onto our lead.”

Reporter: ”There were several controversial decisions during the match. How do you view this issue?”

Lu Yang: ”Mistakes in officiating are sometimes part of the game. We weren’t too affected by these mistakes. However, for the unfair penalties received by the Italy Team, I believe the team will file an appeal later. It’s not about being unreasonable, but rather one is one, and two is two.”

This time Brother Lu didn’t directly criticize the referee.

Winners have no need to be aggressive.

Moreover, even if Lu Yang doesn’t criticize, the referee’s decision will be reviewed by professionals after the match.

After all, this is the European Cup final.

The future of this main referee is likely in jeopardy.

Reporter: ”Goal-line technology was introduced for the first time and played a significant role. Is this why you previously strongly promoted goal-line technology?”
