I AM the Football Star

Chapter 135: Chapter 53: I Refuse to Admit He’s a Genius!

”The Arsenal number eighteen player reached out to pull him, but he missed!”

”So fast, Lu Yang accelerated again! Lu Yang’s speed is incredible! He’s broken through the encirclement!”

”He’s left the other three Arsenal players behind. Their off-the-ball movement can’t catch up to Lu Yang, who’s dribbling!”

”How can he have such stamina? It’s almost the ninetieth minute!”

”Arsenal still has a defensive midfielder and a center-back in front of Lu Yang. They might be Arsenal’s last line of defense.”

”Lu Yang adjusts the football’s direction; he’s changed his route, moving a bit to the left, no, no, no, he’s adjusted back, using this change in direction to avoid the opposing defensive midfielder’s interception.”

”He’s overdone it! Lu Yang is almost at the top of Arsenal’s penalty arc, but was his last touch too heavy?”

”No, it wasn’t! Lu Yang used his speed to go straight past Arsenal’s last center-back! He’s being chased by five Arsenal defenders, but none can interfere with him.”

”The Arsenal number eighteen player attempts a slide tackle from behind!”

”But it’s useless! Lu Yang is too fast, he didn’t slow down! The slide tackle couldn’t reach him!”

”Arsenal’s goalkeeper charges out!”

”Lu Yang takes a low-angle shot, but with considerable power!”

”The ball hits the goalkeeper’s ankle but doesn’t deviate completely from the goal.”

”It’s in!”

”It’s in, it’s in, it’s in!”

”A decisive goal! Without a doubt, that’s a decisive goal!”

”Lu Yang rode a solo effort from miles away, scoring his third goal of this match! He has completed a hat-trick!”

”My God! I must be seeing things, how can he score such a spectacular goal!”

”This year’s Puskás Award judges will go crazy! Because every goal in the top three deserves that award! Of course, they’ll rejoice because the player who scored these three goals is the same person!”

”Mr. Winter’s expression is very complex, he’s holding his head! He finally lost his composure!”

”An unbelievable goal! Lu Yang, in twelve seconds, from the pursuit of eight Arsenal players, sprinted seventy-three meters to score a single-handed goal! This is definitely this year’s best goal, absolutely!”

”Listen to the cheers from the fans! I think now, no one will doubt the value of the Star of Italy anymore, because we’ve truly witnessed the rise of the Star of Italy!”

”And Lu Yang is unquestionably the star among stars! He has conquered everyone with his performance!”

The commentator simply couldn’t stop.

Even if Lu Yang’s goal is praised a hundred times, it wouldn’t be too much.

And soon, when the referee blew the final whistle, the entire stadium erupted in cheers once again.

Because the big screen at Juventus Stadium showed Lu Yang’s match statistics.

Everyone already knew about the three goals.

But Lu Yang’s 16km running data shocked everyone.

What kind of stamina is this?

How can a player run so much?

Moreover, the big screen displayed another player who ran 16km in an official match, and that was Manchester United’s superstar Danny Best!

”Best! Best! Best!”

The entire stadium chanted wildly for Lu Yang.

As if to say Lu Yang was the best performer of this match, he is the best!

Also as if to say, Lu Yang is the Italian Best; otherwise, how else could he defeat Arsenal!

Arsenal faltered in Italy, losing to the ”Italy U19”!

Onsite, everyone was exhilarated.

The Star of Italy production team was also overjoyed.

Although reaching this point in the recording was already a success for them.

But if the Star of Italy Team truly defeated Arsenal, it would elevate the show’s status in the history of world football.

Because Arsenal is a giant in world football!

It has a wide fan base globally.

And now, on every land with Arsenal fans, the legend of the Star of Italy will spread.

Mentors of the Star of Italy Team were interviewed.

Famous Taji: ”At first, Maniero said Lu Yang was a genius, I didn’t believe it because he seemed so ordinary. But he used the match to tell me he truly is a genius!”

Carrel: ”If I were in the management of Florence, I would buy Lu, immediately... of course, I actually have suggested this to the team management! I have a premonition; if he could join the Purple Lily, he would become the next king. He’s a natural match killer!”

Perrotta: ”Lu Yang is excellent, and he always manages to kill the match, which has transcended beyond football. Such a player is destined not to be ordinary; he was born to achieve great things and will surely become a star!”

Ancelotti: ”He’s very intuitive; he has a connection with football that we don’t understand. Such goal instinct, I’ve only seen it in one person. Yes, I’m talking about him, Super Bieber, the Fox in the Penalty Area!”

Maniero: ”From seeing him play in his first match, I knew what kind of person he is, a born winner; his football is exceptional. In him, I often see a lot of reflections on football... I’m not exaggerating, it’s true, his way of playing is unprecedented, yet... incredibly powerful!”

All the interviewees gave Lu Yang the highest praise.

But Mr. Winter, Arsenal’s head coach, known for his elegance, lost his usual demeanor in the post-match interview.

Winter: ”I don’t acknowledge him as a genius... That’s right, you didn’t hear wrong... I don’t care what others say, but I have to say, this is my view.”
