October 13th, October 15th, international match days.

Italy Team fought two national teams continuously, achieving one win and one draw, scoring six goals in total.

Currently, they are ranked first in the qualifying group, with a very optimistic outlook.

If they can maintain this status, Italy Team won’t have to battle in the playoffs next year like in the European Cup.

They are fully capable of announcing their advancement to the World Cup finals next September.

Since the qualifying matches began, Italy Team’s forward line has fully revived.

In recent national team games, Lu Yang has scored five goals and provided one assist for the team.

Morici scored one goal and provided three assists.

All assists were for Lu Yang.

Ancelotti scored two goals and provided two assists, Perrotta scored two goals and provided three assists, Kolber scored one goal and provided one assist, and Sogel provided one assist.

Some fans are even calling for the team to play with a three-forward formation.

Maniero’s side seems to be formally researching this possibility.

Ancelotti and Perrotta have maintained excellent form, and their performances give people confidence that they can still contribute significantly to Italy in the World Cup two years later.

But Kolber and Sogel, two newcomers, are also outstanding; they will be even better in two years.

Lack of playtime is not only detrimental to their growth but also a great waste.

October 17th, San Remo welcomed yet another crucial match.

Competing against the current Serie A leader—Florence!

For this match, having lost time to the international match days, San Remo’s main players needed time to rest, with only Lu Yang playing.

Whereas on Florence’s side, Carrel’s Argentina National Team had finished their match a day earlier, allowing him to perform better in the game.

In the end, Lu Yang had five shots on goal, three were on target, all were saved, creating the most threats in the match.

Yet Lu Yang failed to score.

Instead, young Moriba, assisted by Camihong, broke through Florence’s goal with a long shot.

However, San Remo did not win because of it.

Lacking Morici, Canyes, Bernulin, Talista, Bai Zhami, their strength was indeed greatly weakened.

Without Lu Yang using a Moment Card, their defeat was quite natural.

Carrel had finished the match early with a brace around the sixty-minute mark.

Throughout ball control, shots, corners, and other statistical aspects, San Remo was severely overwhelmed by Florence.

With a golden lineup of Carrel, Versachi, Cortino, and Perotti, San Remo needs to go all out to have even a small chance to win.

Thus, San Remo faced their first Serie A defeat.

Lu Yang also experienced a rare loss in a match after so many participations.

With the deepening of matches, such situations may become more frequent.

...

October 19th, Champions League match day.

San Remo fully revived, hosting Sevilla at home.

In top-tier leagues, both the Champions League and the national league are equally important.

Depending on the role the team plays, the league and Champions League might have their own focuses.

The match against Florence was originally part of San Remo’s tactical arrangement.

In the first half of the season, they will focus on the Champions League.

In the latter half of the season, they will focus on the league.

The goal is Champions League group advancement and a top four finish in the league.

They want to grab all possible bonus money, which is the most cost-effective and suitable way for their strength.

However, this year’s Champions League has been particularly tempestuous.

In the match between Sporting Lisbon and Arsenal, which started a day earlier, shockingly Sporting Lisbon reversed Arsenal three to two!

Arsenal, having quickly scored through Nelka and Rubeus, had one goal pulled back by an assist from Averro in the first half.

In the eighty-fifth minute of the second half, Averro broke through and won a well-positioned set piece in the frontcourt.

Sporting Lisbon executed a tactical free-kick, Averro blocking, and a midfielder made an over-the-top through ball, a forward teammate seized the chance and scored, equalizing the score.

In the eighty-eighth minute, Averro dislodged Arsenal’s central defender Solcan White with a ”Lu Yang’s heel flick” outside the penalty area, then broke into the penalty area to shoot.

Marduk failed to make the save.

Averro, with one assist and one goal, saved the host team, achieving a miraculous turnaround against Arsenal, sending Sporting Lisbon to the top of the group table!

Sporting Lisbon, with six points, monopolizes the summit, waiting for a fierce contest between San Remo and Sevilla.

This match left the entire Premier League captivated by Averro.

Especially Manchester United, who had been fiercely competing with Arsenal in the previous years.

It’s rumored that Sir Manchester has already included Averro’s matches in his viewing schedule, watching TV broadcasts for every Sporting Lisbon’s game.

He is particularly keen on this seventeen-year-old.

Regarding this, several Manchester United players with the closest relationship with Sir Manchester mentioned Averro at a party.

Since they were all insiders, Sir Manchester had no reservations with them, frankly telling them that next year Manchester United would do whatever it takes to secure Averro.

Manchester United’s right-back O’Shea Neville seemed to see another answer in Sir Manchester’s heart and asked, ”Sir, is it because of Lu Yang?”

The attendees all looked at Neville, as the question was somewhat strange.

”Is it because Averro’s eyes and will are the closest to Lu Yang among players so far?” Nelvi asked firmly.

He had played against Lu Yang; back then, Sir Manchester was in the stands cheering for the England Team.
