I AM the Football Star

Chapter 316: Chapter 99: I, Lu Yang, Welcome the Challenge!

The movie ”Girlfriend” swept a massive 20 million euros upon its release! Keep in mind, the production cost of ”The Invisible Guest” was less than five million euros, with a significant portion used for publicity.

It’s said that Lu Yang and Sofia have box office share contracts, so once the final box office figures are out, will Lu Yang still be kicking balls?

Morici’s return directly activated San Remo’s super transformation mode, slaughtering a Serie A team five to two.

Such a triumphant and joyful life, even novels wouldn’t dare to write it.

That’s why many media outlets hope to see a disappointed expression on Lu Yang’s face.

Because that’s the most precious sight!

Who would have thought Lu Yang would show a ”forgetful” expression and retort to the reporters: ”What two goals and two assists? Did I even play in this match? I was almost bored to sleep on the field, honestly!”

”If it weren’t for today’s strong media presence, and my desire to gain some more spotlight, then tell everyone that ’The Invisible Guest’ is worth watching, I’d even wish the coach substituted me at halftime.”

”I genuinely don’t want to play such matches, they’re boring, the opponents are too weak with no resistance whatsoever. I can’t even use all my strength for fear of people saying we at San Remo are bullying!”

”If the opponents in the next two matches are of the same level, then honestly, I’d suggest to the big boss Sotu that next time let me and Morici have a good rest and train the team’s substitutes or youth players instead.”

After Lu Yang finished speaking, his lips curled slightly upward.

As always, he remains humble and courteous.

To be honest, Sotu, who was sipping water, almost choked.

Damn it!

If anyone can pretend, it’s you, Brother Lu!

Were you the dog clapping hands vigorously with everyone at the locker room door during halftime?

Running a distance of 14,000 meters on the field and you tell me you were almost asleep?

Then you must be fatigue driving!

If I had substituted you at halftime, wouldn’t you just perform a Chinese fasting act right there?

Also, our substitutes at San Remo are all veterans, no point in training them.

And our youth system can’t even form a proper basketball team.

Moreover, they hold multiple jobs, be it gardeners, florists, painters, brick movers, shopping guides, preschool teachers, they’re versatile in everything except playing football.

But let me tell you, this talk sounds invigorating!

Reporter: ”Alright, thank you for your response. Lastly, if you could say one thing to the opponent in the upcoming match, what would it be?”

Lu Yang chuckled: ”I heard the ones advancing on the other side are Rome? I’m familiar with Rome’s players, so I’ll keep it brief... Friends from Rome, I... Lu Yang... request a thrashing!”

Boom!

The media friends at the scene gave applause and cheers even more enthusiastic than during a football game.

That’s exactly it!

Lu never fails to impress!

As long as people want it, I’ll say anything.

And watching the interview nearby, Martivini was even more delighted.

See, what a great young man this is.

Do you think Rome will dare to field the youth system and substitutes next match?

Such talent, superior to certain stars like the so-called 272 who negatively affect football development and reputation!

Lu Yang’s words, without a doubt, are a further provocation to the Serie A team.

But unlike before, he now has the qualifications to provoke the opponent.

Because among the mountain of corpses under his feet lies a Serie A team called Sampdoria.

Of course, waiting for Lu Yang outside the conference venue, Sofia also smiled.

So Lu Yang doesn’t like those without resistance.

No wonder he is indifferent to my explicit and implicit advances.

So... he likes the more thrilling gameplay?

Alright, Sofia stated she’ll immediately learn, ”Beautiful Investigator,” ”Sister’s Friend,” let’s go!

...

Lu Yang’s interview quickly became the headline for various media outlets. Even many entertainment media temporarily stopped reporting on ”The Invisible Guest” box office, instead focusing heavily on Lu Yang.

Because everyone knows about the box office, reporting every day would lead to aesthetic fatigue.

But Lu Yang... is a man who never disappoints you.

”Miracles continue! San Remo breaks into the top four!”

”Rome’s painful 2-1 victory, star player Perrotta scores as a substitute and then retires again due to injury!”

”Rome confirms, Perrotta’s old injury reoccurs, affected by injury, he will miss the next two months of matches and is out of the Italian Cup semi-final!”

”San Remo challenges Rome, our substitutes and youth system can crush you!”

”Serie A, is that it?”

”Sotu commands the army like a god! Super substitute Versachi with one assist and one goal, Bai Zhami replaces and angrily grabs an assist!”

”San Remo’s updated super engine, future midfield maestro Morici!”

”Morici’s rare bloody outburst, provoked fans, applied for a yellow card!”

”Fatigue driving? Lu Yang said the match was boring, he almost fell asleep!”

”Milan’s future is bright as the sun, Sogel with one assist and one goal! If San Remo makes it to the finals, Sogel will return to San Siro!”

”Declaration from the War God of Italian Third Division: I, Lu Yang, request a thrashing!”

All major headlines are vying for coverage.

Among them, there’s no lack of attention to other players from San Remo.

Like Sogel.

The winners of the two Italian Cup quarterfinal matches the next day were already revealed.

Although AC Milan’s Izalelt and Inter Milan’s Gutierrez are still not on the roster, these two teams smoothly advanced to the top four.

And the upcoming schedule, is San Remo VS Rome.

AC Milan against Inter Milan.

If San Remo can overcome the hurdle of Rome, then in the finals, they will appear at San Siro/Meazza Stadium!
