I AM the Football Star

”Two to one! Talista has scored again! He has scored in both legs against Paris, demonstrating his consistent scoring ability! He is definitely an outstanding central forward!”

”With an aggregate score of four to three, San Remo once again takes the lead! If the match ends with this scoreline, San Remo will miraculously advance to the Champions League semi-finals!”

”Who would dare to believe it? Is Paris Saint-Germain’s big gift really going to explode?”

”Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain originally intended to sign Talista, but eventually gave up because of his reputation. They lacked no funds and completely had the capability to acquire Sevajos, Boe, and Talista all at once.”

”If Paris Saint-Germain fails to reach the Champions League semi-finals, the decision to pass on Talista last summer will undoubtedly be one of their most foolish decisions!”

”And similarly, if San Remo has the fortune to reach the Champions League semi-finals, then signing Talista last summer will be a legendary level trade!”

”Because not only did San Remo not spend a penny on transfer fees for such a Serie A Silver Boot level player, but they also only offered him a salary of two million euros!”

”Two million euros for a chance at the Champions League semi-finals, over a hundred or even two hundred clubs would be willing to spend this money!”

”Additionally, if all goes as expected, the long-awaited San Remo Supermarket across all Europe will open at the end of this season. Talista will inevitably become a member on the trading shelves, as he only has a two-year contract with San Remo.”

”By then, how much transfer fee could Talista fetch? It surely won’t be a small number! This season, he has already contributed nearly thirty goals and twenty assists for San Remo! These are phenomenal figures! That’s in Serie A and the Champions League!”

”Moreover, Fernandez and Camihong absolutely deserve credit for that recent goal!”

”Camihong was nearly overwhelmed by Miguel in the last two matches for almost 180 minutes! But all he needed was one minute of counterattack to negate all of Miguel’s efforts.”

”This is a supreme comeback for an ordinary player against a genius player! Camihong’s interception and drive this time are likely to become a classic part of the San Remo miracle.”

”And Fernandez, whose talent is far less than that of Bai Zhami, has been benched for a long time by players like Bai Zhami, Sogel, Talista, and Lu. Yet whenever he’s on the pitch, he always manages to give San Remo the help they need.”

”He’s practically a super sub, reminiscent of Manchester United’s baby-faced assassin! They are the same kind of player, but Fernandez is more comprehensive!”

”The most ordinary players carrying San Remo to overthrow Paris Saint-Germain and into the Champions League semi-finals! I feel like I’ve seen this before!”

”I feel myself boiling over, returning to this day three years ago, hearing their slogans resound through the sky!”

Creepy!

Everyone watching this match felt the same at this moment.

Could it be...

San Remo...

Could really...

Defeat Paris, right?

Countless question marks surfaced in everyone’s hearts.

It was getting more and more intense.

On the field, the goal has dealt a huge blow to Paris Saint-Germain’s momentum.

Some players’ eyes were red, while others suddenly lost confidence.

Sevajos, the team’s attacking midfielder, was tasked with the central transportation, and had a good observation of the front three.

He knew exactly where Paris Saint-Germain’s attacking problems lay today.

”Stiepelman!” Sevajos found the team’s big shot and spoke up, ”Paris...needs you to save us!”

Stiepelman was slightly stunned and didn’t speak.

Sevajos continued, ”I know their defenders are targeting you, but precisely because of that, shouldn’t you respond strongly?”

”I can’t make any decisions for you, but if I had your ability, standing in your position, I would be willing to give it all I’ve got.”

After a long while, Stiepelman gritted his teeth and nodded, indicating he knew what he had to do.

He made up his mind.

Many may find it hard to understand why Hazard, Bell insist on staying at Real Madrid with high wages.

Dembele, Umtiti, and others hold fast at Barça not leaving, even without playtime.

Because to them, football isn’t everything. Football is just a job.

Especially the latter, the former might still have thoughts of proving themselves, but the latter have truly laid back.

Getting a high salary without having to work, they can fully enjoy their games and parties, what more can they ask for?

Including veterans like Stiepelman, who might play two or three more years; it’s almost time to prepare for cashing in overseas or retire to enjoy life.

They’re very wealthy and have dedicated thirty years to football. They want to leave the next thirty or fifty years to themselves, is that selfish?

It’s not selfish.

That’s why famous veterans often don’t have the reasons young players have to put their blood and sweat into the game; they prefer playing it safe.

Crashing into an injury, or worse a lasting condition, isn’t worthwhile for Stiepelman.

But watching the lively celebrations of San Remo players on the opposite side, Stiepelman suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit.

San Remo isn’t some Champions League large gift, this team has strong resilience and explosiveness.

So...they’ve awakened the king of headers, Stiepelman!

At this moment, Paris Saint-Germain’s true god awakens!

”Guys, next...pass the ball to me!” Stiepelman suddenly shouted towards Miguel and Boe, ”Fire at me!”
