I AM the Football Star

”After many years, Arsenal is finally back at the top of the Premier League!”

”No more fans mocking them for only being able to fight for fourth! Because they are champions!”

San Remo’s perfect UEFA Champions League campaign is completed third from last!

After the match, Mr. Winter was once again asked about this season’s signings.

And Mr. Winter reminded everyone once more: ”Whether it was Collette or Nelka, I talked to Lu Yang before bringing them in. I must say, his eye for players is incredibly accurate.”

”Even if he doesn’t play in the future, he will be an excellent scout. If he retires, I will immediately invite him to be the chief scout for my team, absolutely!”

After the interview, Winter immediately gathered his team to discuss next season’s recruitment targets.

Collette’s position must be filled.

Originally, Arsenal had no money, but now... the Premier League championship bonus and dividends are enough for Arsenal to have a comfortable year, to enjoy a feast of dumplings.

Even if Collette leaves, they can afford to buy players.

As for whom to buy.

”Are we sure these are our recruitment targets?” The head assistant coach wasn’t very sure, ”Morici is hard to acquire right now; they’ve reached the Champions League final, and he’s a core player.”

”Tottenham, apparently, is preparing to go all in.”

”Barça, it seems, also plans to spend big on him.”

Mr. Winter smiled and shook his head: ”With money, why bother with Morici?”

The chief assistant coach was baffled.

If not Morici, then who?

”Of course, Lu Yang! Prepare well; once San Remo’s season ends, we will join the race for Lu Yang!” Mr. Winter said firmly.

In his heart, he could only say sorry to Momo.

Why settle for a bicycle when you have a sports car right in front of you!

Assistant coach: ”But aren’t we lacking in midfield?”

Winter: ”Lu Yang played as a midfielder in the European Cup and the UEFA Europa League!”

Assistant coach: ”But that’s a different style, it can’t just be forced in.”

Winter: ”Can’t I create a brand new tactical system for him? Moreover, never underestimate Lu Yang’s ability; he can integrate into any system without being restrained by it. That’s his most shining quality!”

...

”Arsenal are the champions!”

”After fourteen consecutive wins, Arsenal courageously took the Premier League championship!”

”The bizarre comeback year! Arsenal, after years of fighting for fourth, suddenly becomes a champion team!”

”Regret! This was Chelsea’s year with the best chance to win the championship, yet they encountered the divine Arsenal!”

”When even Manchester United couldn’t stop Arsenal from winning!”

”The godfather of Arsenal—Lu! Winter stated that all key signings were at Lu Yang’s suggestion!”

”The curtain rises as Lu Yang writes the perfect UEFA Champions League script for himself!”

”Everyone underestimated the miracle of San Remo! What league fourth, Champions League qualification, Lu Yang’s blueprint likely always pointed directly to Saint Bolede’s big-eared cup!”

”Every step of the perfect UEFA Champions League is in San Remo’s hands!”

”The owner’s mission? Arsenal wins the Premier League, next it’s Florence!”

The perfect UEFA Champions League is getting more and more intense.

At this point, not only Italy is feeling the change in flow.

UEFA itself is also feeling differently.

In UEFA’s latest regular meeting, clear data showed that this year’s UEFA Champions League discussion, attention, and influence have surpassed any other UEFA Champions League series in the past five years!

UEFA Champions League is becoming more authoritative and valuable!

The rise in the value of the UEFA Champions League increased dramatically this year.

Is it the heat brought by the dark horse comeback?

No!

It’s not like the UEFA Champions League hasn’t seen dark horses enter the quarter-finals, semi-finals, or even win the championship.

On the contrary, both from the competitive and commercial, influence point of view, the season value of the UEFA Champions League when a dark horse wins is actually inferior to when a top club wins.

Perhaps, apart from the pitifully small fan base of small teams, most people want to see top-level confrontations.

Rather than two unknown teams kicking back and forth, even if one of them is a small team, that blockbuster thrill would be greatly reduced.

That’s the conclusion drawn by numerous football and economics experts in Europe through analyzing various data, and the result is indisputable.

After all, no matter what you say, if you look at where the money flows, you can see the true direction.

In the later Super League, isn’t it all top-level confrontations?

People have already made their choice.

European leagues’ failure is due to many reasons, but certainly isn’t because they were wrong in thinking people prefer top-level confrontations.

The celebrity effect is the same across all industries.

If a movie is star-studded, even if the trailer isn’t exciting, you’re more likely to take a look.

If a match is star-studded, even if you don’t like either team, you’ll still watch it.

Dark horses as an X-factor have never been the mainstream of the market.

So who is making the UEFA Champions League more valuable?

Making UEFA more assertive?

Making European football and even the influence of football advance further?

The high-level figure presenting the data suggests it’s Italian football, it’s San Remo, it’s Lu Yang!

”In the last five years, Juventus, AC Milan, AC Milan, San Remo... Serie A teams have reached the UEFA Champions League final five times!”

”During this time, the influence of the UEFA Champions League has seen a substantial rise. It can be said that UEFA Champions League’s fastest growth phase was completed by drawing nutrients from Serie A!”
