I AM the Football Star

Chapter 97: Chapter 39: Star of Italy, S-level Players and C-level Players_2

”Lu Yang, 16 years old, San Remo’s midfielder. Although his skills are rough, he has strong defense and can handle multiple positions like center-back and midfielder. He once delivered a marvelous logging shot and scored with a thirty-three-meter overhead kick. This year he led San Remo to win the Italian D Division championship, leaving a strong impression in the final match of the league.”

”He possesses an exceptionally strong spirit attribute, and after receiving stitches and returning to the game from the sidelines, he scored his first career hat-trick in ten minutes, leading the team to win by comeback.”

”Of course, it’s not Maniero’s praise or the similar playing style with his head coach Sotu that made him famous, but rather the rumor with European famous actress Sofia Katrina. Media previously reported that Lu Yang is currently residing in Sofia’s seaside villa in San Remo! Their relationship remains mysterious!”

The long list of player introductions captivated every fan.

Juventus Canyes, hailed as Italy’s next flying wing! His dribbling skills are even sharper than a winger!

Liverpool Lam, the main competitor for Italy’s center-back position over the next ten years!

Super League Parrot, some call him Little Ancelotti!

Monaco Sevajos, destined to have a place in the future Italy National Team!

Milsogel, known as the next forward pillar of the Red-Black Corps!

Inter Bai Zhami, Italy’s fastest young player!

Purple Lily Versace, the player with the best chance in recent years to become the perfect Hexagon Warrior!

Rome Aguirre, a Serie A semi-main player!

San Remo Morici, Little Maniero!

San Remo Lu Yang, the crowned prince of Purple Lily, the butcher’s successor, Europe’s toughest warrior, Europe’s best-looking face!

Yes, Lu Yang’s titles do not conflict with each other.

The toughness is because of football, and the good looks are because of Sofia.

This list is so tempting that just its announcement made RAI sports channel receive over three thousand phone calls.

The caller had only one common request, which was for the show to air as soon as possible!

And some players haven’t played a single match and their value has already skyrocketed.

Of course, this list is not a football legend list that encompasses all heroes.

There are many talented young players who, for various reasons, did not accept the invitation to this recording.

In fact, these absent young players are actually even stronger.

It’s a simple truth that truly top-notch players at this time have no time to participate in such variety shows.

The players who need this exposure and hype are often young people still waiting for their chance.

From this perspective, Rome’s powerful recognized player Aguirre is somewhat awkward on this list.

Although there are players in the list even older than him, like twenty-four-year-olds, the really amazing ones are nearly all under twenty years old.

Those are the true stars of tomorrow.

Aguirre, at twenty-three years old, finds himself quite out of place here.

Of course, Aguirre doesn’t think so himself.

His agent sees it as a great opportunity to prove his strength and potential again, to defeat this group of so-called geniuses, and Aguirre might even receive offers from Premier League teams.

By then... he would only have to say sorry to Rome.

Players attending the Star of Italy Training Camp with Aguirre’s mindset are actually quite numerous.

But there are also players purely there to earn some appearance fee without ambition, isn’t that right, Morici?

...

”Hey! Lu Yang, over here, I’m here!”

The TV crew’s bus is constantly picking up players to the ”Juventus Stadium,” which is the first independently owned stadium by a team in All Europe. For the next month, everyone will train and compete in this stadium.

The program crew is quite spectacular.

”Morici!” Lu Yang hugged the excited Morici.

”Don’t you feel anything different?” Morici was very smug, spinning several times in front of Lu Yang.

”Did you start wearing a skirt?” Lu Yang was puzzled, only girls would spin like that after wearing a skirt.

”I’ve grown taller!” Morici exaggeratedly extended two fingers, ”Two centimeters! I’m now 174 cm! Just in one month, if this continues, I’ll reach 180 cm!”

Lu Yang smiled slightly: ”Congratulations, but I also grew two centimeters, I’m now 183 cm. I am willing to call it the strongest 183 on earth!”

Morici was dumbfounded and devastated.

Goodness!

Drought to drought, flood to flood.

Already over 180 cm, what’s the point of growing taller!

Your golden staff just won’t stop extending?

”By the way, have you seen that tiered list?” Morici remembered an angry incident while catching up with Lu Yang.

The members of the Star of Italy Training Camp were determined, with a total of forty-five players participating. As the program enters the co-training phase, most will be eliminated, leaving just a list of twenty-four players.

Then, these twenty-four players will participate in matches against Millwall, England U19, and Arsenal.

And actually, only eighteen from the big list will truly have the chance to play.

Indeed, among these eighteen, only the eleven starting players will have sufficient playing time.

Where there is selection, there is evaluation.

To facilitate viewer’s watching and to demonstrate their professionalism, before everyone entered the training camp, the program group categorized the players into four tiers based on player data, league level, and past training evaluations.
