I AM the Football Star

Areola stands in front of the football, takes a deep breath, and then kicks the ball hard.

Beep, beep, beep!

Three whistles sound, the match is over!

The Real Madrid players, as if their spirits have been instantly drained, one by one collapse to the ground.

They lost!

Defeated by Lu Yang’s eight minutes—two goals and one assist.

Defeated by Lu Yang’s overhead kick.

Defeated by Lu Yang’s outside overtaking.

Defeated by Lu Yang’s divine comprehension of the offside rule!

Real Madrid, utterly defeated!

Six to one!

The bloody score makes every Real Madrid player unable to lift their heads to face the fans.

But Real Madrid’s fans have always been magnanimous, they entirely ignore their own players’ poor performance and are soaking in the desire for new players.

”Lu Yang! Lu Yang! Lu Yang!”

On the Bernabéu Stadium, the Merengues continue shouting Lu Yang’s name.

Even more organized, more enthusiastic than San Remo fans.

Looking at the scene, you cannot guess Real Madrid is the side eliminated.

Of course, Manchester United’s white scarves, hats, bottles, popcorn buckets perhaps could evoke a sense of awareness in everyone.

For Real Madrid fans, their season is over.

Neither the King’s Cup nor the league title holds much significance.

Winning the Champions League, crushing Barça, these are Real Madrid’s top priorities each year.

This year, one has failed, one has succeeded, better than in the past, but far from satisfying everyone.

”Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, the Champions League semi-final is now completely over! Before this, ninety-nine percent of people never thought that the team reaching the final would be the Sanremo Football Club from a small city in Northwest Italy!”

”They performed a miraculous comeback in the second leg at the Bernabéu, reversing a zero-five disadvantage! Six to one! San Remo handed Real Madrid their biggest defeat in nearly five years!”

”Real Madrid’s next Champions League victory will not be this year! They still need to wait!”

”Now, let’s reminisce Lu Yang’s declaration to Real Madrid before the match. Do you still think everything this player has done is merely arrogance?”

”That saying, bringing Real Madrid a Champions League ring money couldn’t buy seemingly hung as a Damocles’ sword over Real Madrid’s head!”

”Facts prove, neither Real Madrid, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, nor Manchester City can buy the Champions League!”

”Okay, this concludes the match commentary, but don’t go away, as our special feature, ’The Sanremo Miracle’ is about to air, unveiling the mysteries of the Sanremo team. I’m your good friend, Luo Cheng!”

The match has just ended, and the major media outlets can’t wait any longer.

Tomorrow?

No!

They’re about to publish headlines immediately.

Because this match, this news, is too shocking.

”He plays football like mathematics! Lu Yang: If Real Madrid can score five against us, then why can’t we score six against them?”

”From zero-five to six-one! The big gift pack turns into a thunderous explosion!”

”San Remo the Giant Killer! The Galaxy Battleship crashes at the Bernabéu!”

”Hat-trick conquers the Bernabéu! The strongest new team in the Champions League emerges!”

”Half-step to championship! San Remo upholds Serie A glory, facing Bayern Munich for showdown!”

”I only play against the world’s best! Lu Yang, the European Cup best player, devours Junior, complete domination!”

”New King ascends! Lu Yang wears the crown at the Bernabéu! With sixteen goals, he secures the top scorer position in advance!”

”Discard kills master! Drela charges through Real Madrid’s gate, helps San Remo complete super upset!”

”Ordinary Sanremo’s extraordinary journey! Cutting through five and six teams, detailed count of teams conquered in reversal by Sanremo.”

”Shortest path between two points, Lu Yang’s super run kills Real Madrid, conquers the Bernabéu!”

”Football’s strongest offside trap! Lu Yang ’hand’fully erases Real Madrid’s hope of comeback!”

”Buy him, buy him, buy him! Real Madrid fans demand the team to buy Lu Yang in the summer transfer window!”

”What’s happening in Serie A? Another Izalelt appears!”

”Fun fact, Sanremo ranks ninth in the Serie A standings!”

”How deep is the water in Serie A? Ninth place in the league reaches the Champions League final?”

”Return to the world’s number one league! Why do La Liga and Premier League challenge Serie A?”

”Long road ahead! Premier League and La Liga still have to wait, Serie A teams have reached Champions League finals for three consecutive years!”

”Five times in four years to Champions League final, is this the downfall of Serie A you speak of?”

”Revival of Serie A stars, both new and old stars shining brightly, is Lu Yang the catfish?”

”Lu’s words: It’s not because there’s hope that one persists, but because one persists, there’s hope!”

Fire!

Lu Yang has become the hottest name in the current football world.

The momentum exceeds that of last year’s Izalelt.

Though in terms of recognition, everyone generally feels Lu Yang still has some way to go compared to mega-stars like Gutierrez, Izalelt, Mateo, who have been popular for three to five years.

Not to mention comparing with superstars like Zidane, Moreira, Lima.

But...

Lu Yang himself already has a high heat value!

Don’t forget, he’s an Oscar-winning screenwriter!

A Brit Awards best single winner!

Sofia’s boyfriend!

An ordinary player becoming a star receives attention.

But a player who already garnered attention becomes a star, what does he attain?

He receives far more attention than is due at this stage.

Geometric multiplication!

Chemical reaction!

Almost less than an hour after the match ended, Real Madrid’s top brass openly admitted their desire to obtain Lu Yang.
