I AM the Football Star

Chapter 581: Chapter 154: Worthy of the Name Divine Striker, the National Team Doors Finally Open!

Is this San Remo really so difficult to defeat?

Roar!

In the front, a commotion was heard.

Kolber looked over and saw that the ball kicked away by Versachi landed in the front and was unexpectedly received by Calafiori.

Since it was the last attempt, Bologna had no one left in the backfield.

When Calafiori got the ball, he hadn’t crossed the midfield line yet, so it wasn’t offside.

Calafiori dribbled all the way, breaking through the defense.

Facing his former teammates, he didn’t hold back, faking a shot to make the opponents commit to a save before calmly shooting.

The ball went into the net.

San Remo, five to three!

Calafiori, killed the game!

A brilliant performance with one goal and one assist, stabbing his former team!

In the previous games for San Remo, he was so bad that people almost forgot about him.

But in this game, his performance was at least in the top three for San Remo.

Who could blame him for having good stats?

This was also the last shot of the game.

...

After the game, the media interviewed Lu Yang on-site.

Reporter: ”You got a hat trick, was it because of Kolber’s provocation?”

Lu Yang: ”You could say that. High-level opponents often bring out the best in you.”

Reporter: ”What’s your opinion of Kolber as a player?”

Lu Yang: ”He’s very strong, he has his own unique style, and he’s highly efficient in shooting. He’s a Serie A level forward!”

Reporter: ”Do you think he will receive a call-up to the national team soon, for the next national team match?”

Lu Yang: ”I believe he will certainly play for Italy one day, but I can’t determine the exact time. That’s not something I decide. In any case, if I meet him in the national team, I won’t be surprised, only happy.”

Lu Yang gave Kolber a high evaluation.

Similarly, Kolber, during his interview, also expressed his admiration for Lu Yang: ”Lu Yang is the kind of player you can never outperform.”

”Now I understand how Talista felt after losing to Lu Yang. Like Talista, I will always hope to win against Lu Yang next time.”

”He is definitely going to be part of the Italy National Team, he has that capability.”

”Yes, I’m a central forward, but that doesn’t mean Lu Yang can’t solve the scoring problem for the Italy National Team. In fact, none of us knows if we’re the right answer until it’s tried.”

Kolber remained discreet about his chances of making the next national team call-up.

He had always felt he should have joined the national team long ago, but saying so might jinx it.

Now, with Vincent not calling up him and Lu Yang, it would be hard to lay the matter to rest.

After all, both of them, with 19 and 14 goals respectively, are talents Italy urgently needs.

Indeed, shortly after, Vincent, in an interview, explicitly stated he would be calling up Kolber.

”Kolber is exactly the type of forward Italy needs right now. He has what we currently lack, a striking force!” Vincent told the media, ”In the upcoming European Cup playoffs, Kolber will certainly have a spot.”

”But I can’t guarantee he’ll start, that depends on the player’s condition. There’s still more than twenty days to go, and players’ performances can fluctuate.”

”Lu Yang? Yes, barring any surprises, Lu Yang will also have a spot in the national team. He deserves such a slot.”

”No, it has nothing to do with Maniero’s demands. Similarly, I can’t guarantee whether Lu Yang will have the chance to start either, that also depends on his and other players’ form in the same position.”

Vincent’s attitude was ambiguous.

On one hand, he ensured Kolber and Lu Yang would be called up, but on the other hand, he wasn’t clear if they would actually get to play, raising an uneasy feeling among fans.

Could it be... Vincent plans to follow a rigid path to the end?
