San Remo The players all rushed towards Lu Yang in surprise.

"GOAL!"

"Two to one! San Remo is in the lead again!"

"Lu Yang killed the game, a buzzer beater, this is definitely a buzzer beater!"

"After losing the starting right winger, San Remo tenaciously won a victory."

"Lu Yang continues to carry the team forward!"

"He can do anything!"

"Oh, we saw that the referee showed a yellow card to midfielder No. 6 Grosser. His pulling action just now is definitely a foul."

"Lu Yang didn't immediately fall down and ask for a well-positioned set piece. He chose to persist in the breakthrough."

"Facts prove that Lu Yang's choice is correct!"

"A tough guy will never fall down casually, even if he is really violated."

"Lu Yang Well done!"

"San Remo, keep going forward!"

In the team president's office.

The match of San Remo VS Grosser is being replayed.

But this is not a celebration party.

It was a high-level meeting with a more serious atmosphere.

Those who participated in the meeting included the team's head coach Soto, the team's first meritorious assistant coach Tom, the team's chairman Mr. Russell, and the team's new sports director Mr. Scott.

The latter has just recently announced his official position, and has been the mastermind behind Russell before.

"We can see how accidental this goal was. Although Lu scored, how long can this embarrassing goal last?" Scott commented on Lu Yang's Manual Spin.

It seems that his rating is not high.

"Really? Don't you know that most of Lu Yang's goals are incredible? He has the ability to create miracles all the time." Old Tom retorted.

Scott smiled slightly, "Of course I know, but that was the past. No miracle can last, otherwise why would a miracle be called a miracle? In world football, no player has ever been able to maintain this kind of magic kick for a long time, even if it damages the team's overall offensiveness!"

Soto stared at Scott, his pupils shrinking infinitely. He kind of hates this guy now.

Because this person actually said in tea chat that Lu Yang's goal was done in a way that harmed the team.

This is simply ridiculous to anyone who has watched Lu Yang play all of San Remo's games.

There is no Lu Yang, and the purpose of San Remo now at Serie C may be to avoid relegation!

No, San Remo may not be Serie D this season!

But you have to deny that, just looking at Lu Yang's statistics and one or two games of play, some seemingly professional people can really come to the conclusion that Lu Yang's play is hurting the team.

This is not a contradiction because the effective information obtained by the two is different.

Those who think Lu Yang hurts the team are just intentionally or unintentionally ignoring some important influencing factors.

Soto has to admit that he has changed his mind about Scott.

Before, he thought that this Scott didn't understand football at all.

But now he discovered that Scott understands it very well.

Only people who really understand football can deliberately ignore some important factors and deliberately belittle or over-praise a player.

This is called professionalism.

"Lu Yang will not harm San Remo, but the premise is that San Remo will not harm Lu Yang. He is a very territorial player and is willing to give everything for his home. But the premise is that this is his home." Soto spoke.

Scott retorted, "But San Remo is not his home, he is just a player of San Remo, nothing more."

Soto raised his eyes. "Do you really think so? Are you sure you can take responsibility for what you said?"

Soto said while looking at Russell.

Russell stood up in time and acted as a peacemaker. "How come, San Remo will always be Lu Yang's home, as long as he is willing. We are not blaming Lu Yang. Scott, Lu Yang has done everything he can for San Remo, and he should not admit any criticism, especially within us!"

"I was a little more radical, and I am willing to apologize for what I just said." Scott was like a ball of cotton. After testing Soto's bottom line, he obediently slipped away again.

"Of course, Soto, our forward players are all in bad shape, and Lu Yang takes on more responsibilities and runs than them. We can't lose Lu! So, we must bring him a player who can help him share the pressure!" Russell said at the center of today's conversation, "If there is a player who can hold the ball in the frontcourt and attract firepower, then Lu will play more easily."

"He's only seventeen and his body needs to relax."

Soto hesitated to speak.

People's physiques cannot be generalized. He understands this because he is also so awesome.

But people who are not so awesome will never understand, and it's all in vain.

"Well, we do need an excellent winger." Soto reflected his professionalism, "I have inspected several young players Eredivisie and Primeira Liga. They all have good talents. They can form a healthy competition with Fernandez. This will be of great help to us in the future and after the first division..."

"Why do we have to have teenagers or veterans?" Scott asked, "Isn't it good to have a star in his playing years and at his peak? What we need is a more powerful forward player, a Beretelli at his peak, not another Fernandez and Baizami."

"Talents are just words. Even if they are cultivated, will they be able to play in the Serie A game?"

"What we want is a star winger who can become a Serie A star in the future!"

"Becherci is our best choice!"

See you in the picture!

Scott named his candidate.

Soto took a deep breath, he really wanted to tell Russell that after Fernandez has been trained, there will be no problem at all in becoming the main rotation of the Serie A team.

He can even serve as a starter on the weak Serie A team in the future.

And Baizami has a very high ceiling, and has been trained to become one of the world's top strikers in the future!

Please note, this is no ordinary Top Five Leagues star!

Instead, it refers to Best, Ancarelli, Perotta, Inzitens, Super Bieber, Taji, Tesli, Soto, Maniero, Martivni, Izelet... Such superstars!

Of course, such words are too shocking, and saying them hastily will only make people feel that they are immature and unreliable.

So Soto bit his lip again and again to stop himself from sharing this opinion that Maniero also agreed with with others.

"Becherci's real goal efficiency is not as high as it seems. I don't expect him to become a Serie A-level star. If this is your recruitment goal, you should replace him." Soto said.

"Are you kidding?" Scott said, "He has scored sixteen goals this season. He is more efficient than the Serie A star Inzitens of the same type! Soto, you should look at Becherci fairly, although he may be a bit expensive."

Soto was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Have you ever heard of expected goals?

How unfair am I?

Am I so unprofessional?

When I hold up World Cup Trophy for Italy, whose popularity are you riding on?

Whose human blood steamed buns should I eat?

What kind of shameless money do you make?

However, these advanced professional knowledge, Soto, Maniero, Lu Yang and others have not yet been compiled into a complete theory, so it is not convenient to put it forward rashly.

What's more, Soto doesn't want Scott to know about such a core technology.

"Okay, but the locker room issue is something we have to consider." Soto solemnly raised this issue.

"You are worrying too much. Becherci will not become the team captain. He will give Rondo enough respect." Scott said.

"Are you kidding me? Who doesn't know that San Remo's locker room leader is Lu?" Soto was very angry. This Scott was clearly trying to change the concept.

"Is that so? Then I believe that Lu will not be so stingy. As a leader, he should know how to be compatible with new teammates." Scott put it another way. Whatever he said makes sense.

"Okay, if there is a problem in this area, I hope you can solve it yourself and don't bother me!" Soto glanced at Russell, turned around and left.

He is angry!

Russell has never made a statement, which in itself is a statement!

Russell has been drunk by Scott, just like an ignorant girl who has fallen into the trap of a scumbag. The more people around her persuade her, the harder it is to get out. Only after she realizes that she has been deceived can you further enlighten her.

The losses she suffered during this period were the price this girl had to pay for her growth.

This is an unsolvable problem.

"Russell, I have never seen a better player than Lu. Miracles exist beyond common sense. There are always people who speculate on genius from an ordinary person's perspective, but they don't know that genius cannot be guessed. No matter who you want to bring in, I have only one request, don't make Lu sad, otherwise we will regret it for the rest of our lives." Tom also turned and left.

He and Russell are old friends.

Although old Tom is just an assistant coach of the team, he really loves football and has dedicated half his life to football in his hometown.

Old Tom's son has long been begging him to travel around the world and stop being that bullshit football assistant who works so hard with no results and always makes the old man's blood pressure soar.

Their family is not short of money.

Old Tom also worked hard to build a business empire in his early years, and then handed it over to Cheng Qi's son to take over early and devote himself to the football career.

Otherwise, why would he become friends with a super real estate developer like Russell?

Circles are everywhere.

The prerequisite for most friendships is that they are of the same class.

Russell looked at the backs of Soto and old Tom and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt Lu. I just brought him the strongest helper!"

January 30th, the day before the transfer window closes.

Italy football revealed a buzzer-beating transfer.

And it's a blockbuster transfer!

Super star Serie C, Becherci transferred to San Remo from the same league for a super worth of four million euros!

You know, his contract only has half a year left, and he will be a free agent this summer.

Although he had many suitors, the highest bid was only 2.8 million, far less than 4 million.

This is an incredible transfer.

A small number of people agree, but most people don't.

Those who disagree have a double disagreement with Becherci and San Remo.

They believe that Becherci's internal transfer within Serie C is meaningless.

Even though San Remo has a high probability of being promoted to Serie B, most of the teams that pursued Becherci before were Serie A teams.

There is a world of difference between the top league and the secondary league!

Similarly, the six-month contract cost four million, and San Remo was undoubtedly ripped off.

Even if there is an urgent need for right wingers, they should not pay such a high price.

This is Serie C!

A four-million-dollar six-month contract is relatively rare in Serie A.

This year Serie A team's average transfer period investment is only three million euros.

Coupled with players coming in and out, there may be many who will actually spend tens of millions of euros to buy players.

But... that's not how people spend their money.

What's more, such an operation will also have a lot of adverse effects on San Remo's future signings.

When everyone thinks you are stupid and have too much money, any player you fancy will be priced at a 30% premium.

Moreover, the subsequent issue is not just the transfer fee.

<Sky-high transfer! San Remo spends a lot of money to strengthen the striker!>

<The top right winger returns and in the second half of the season, San Remo is unstoppable?>

<Confirm in advance the success of reaching the second level! San Remo's terrifying lineup is released!>

<True core in the frontcourt! Becherci will lead San Remo to victory!>

<Salary is questionable? How high is Becherci's salary level?>

<Special contract! San Remo gives Becherci the biggest choice in the future!>

If most of these are rumors and media speculation, then the famous Italy media <la Repubblica> published an exclusive interview titled "The core has changed hands! San Remo welcomes the real leader!", which caused an uproar.

They specially invited Becherci and conducted this exclusive interview with Becherci, questioning a lot of sensitive content circulating in the market.

And Becherci seems not to know that <la Repubblica> is a very unpopular media member of the San Remo team. He answers all questions, no matter the details.

Reporter: "Can we know how long your contract is?"

Becherci: "Three years."

Reporter: "Why only three years? Aren't regular contracts five years?"

Becherci: "Because I am turning twenty-six this year, I will reach the peak of my career in three years. At that time, I can make the most important decision in my life again. This is one of the guarantees San Remo gave me."

This is very straightforward.

Three years later, Becherci will ask for a super-high-paying contract, or go to a wealthy team that was still pursuing him at that time, and then launch an attack on the honor of a top star.

This contract would be the envy of any professional player.

This is equivalent to Barcelona giving a three-year contract with no liquidated damages to the 26-year-old Messi, and Real Madrid giving a five-year contract with a maximum salary to the 33-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo.

That's outrageous!

Of course, it is equally outrageous for Barcelona to let Messi go!

Reporter: "How much is your salary? Can you disclose it?"

Becherci: "The basic salary is 800,000 euros."

Reporter: "Wow! Is this the second highest salary for Serie C? The first is Latuidi?"

Becherci: "I don't know. If there are enough bonus clauses in Latuidi's contract, maybe so."

Reporter: "You are about to join San Remo. What do you think of San Remo's previous playing style?"

Becherci: "San Remo had two ways of playing before, one was when Moric was there, and the other was when Moric was not there. I appreciate the former more. As for the latter, the offensive aspect is a bit too simple, and it is often not easy to perform against strong opponents."

Reporter: "Then what do you think of Lu Yang and Moric?"

Becherci: "Both of them are good players. I appreciate Moric's creativity and Lu Yang's diligence."

Reporter: "Do you have any expectations for your position in the team?"

Becherci: "I hope I can bring a leap forward to San Remo's offense. I believe this is why they signed me. After all, defense depends on attitude, but sometimes hard work is not enough for offense."

Reporter: "It's a pleasure to talk to you. I wish you can go further in San Remo and lead them to more honors."

Becherci: "I will definitely do it."

This exclusive interview has spread throughout most of the Italy football world.

Especially those knowledgeable veterans, once they read this interview, they will know that San Remo is finished.

At the very least, San Remo will definitely go through a period of turmoil.

First of all, the choice of this media is very knowledgeable.

The contradiction between Lu Yang and <la Repubblica> is well known to the world.

For Lu Yang, Sophia directly held a press conference and unilaterally blocked <la Repubblica>.

However, Becherci doesn't mind <la Repubblica>'s exclusive interview.

You know, as the top transfer bidder in this winter window, he should not lack invitations for exclusive interviews, and he has enough room for choice.

Maybe <la Repubblica> is indeed the most influential among them, but... is it really possible to ignore the tension between <la Repubblica> and the leading player in the team you are about to join for this reason?

This at least sends a message.

Lu Yang's interpersonal relationships are not in the priority order here at Becherci.

What can be derived from this is the issue of status within the team.

Becherci did not evade the word "lead San Remo" that the <la Repubblica> reporter repeatedly raised, and accepted it quite calmly.

This also reflects his heart.

He believes that he is here to lead San Remo and make it better.

At the same time, he also hinted that his actual salary is likely to exceed Latuidi, and coupled with his high transfer fee, he undoubtedly believes that he will be San Remo's "number one" player.

Not the goalkeeper wearing the No. 1 jersey, but... the core players, even the leaders.

But as we all know, the leader of San Remo is...Lu Yang!

Finally, Becherci praised Lu Yang for his hard work, but said in a follow-up interview that sometimes hard work alone is not enough. This obviously revealed his disapproval of Lu Yang.

Taken together, Becherci may not have accepted the interview with <la Repubblica> out of negligence.

It is very likely that under the advice of the team, he chose a mighty way of coming, telling everyone that he came with bad intentions, that he was not someone to be bullied, and that he came to conquer!

In European and American culture, this kind of self-confidence culture has always been advocated.

Because being modest among them, especially at United States, they will be bullied.

The word "Zang Feng" only exists among truly noble and elegant minds.

Becherci and his team prefer aggressive statements.

This is also in line with his playing style, which is very aggressive.

"How dare he say that?"

Bang!

Moric smashed the phone angrily.

Lu Yang looked at the phone with a shattered screen and said expressionlessly, "If it wasn't my phone you dropped, I might be a little touched by your behavior."

Moric laughed twice, "Isn't this deliberately humorous to ease your possible depression?"

Lu Yang said, "What should I be depressed about?"

Moric chuckled, "Stop pretending, Oriental, I know you very well. When you are grand, you are really grand, but when you are stingy, you are also really stingy."

"No matter what Becherci says, you can forgive him. After all, you have never really played football together, and many of your perceptions of each other are inaccurate."

"You can eliminate the interference caused by these information gaps and only evaluate a person after real and frequent contact. This is what makes you better than most players and even most people."

"But... you attach great importance to position issues!"

"You won't verbally ask your friends, family, and teammates to agree with you about something you really hate, but deep down you hope they will make the same choice as you."

"Becherci violated your taboo, he accepted an interview with <la Repubblica>!"

Lu Yang raised his eyebrows.

I have to say, Moric really figured him out.

Lu Yang is not interested in most of what Becherci says.

His personal playing style is indeed not easy for others to see, and it does not conform to today's aesthetic trends.

But he is indeed very concerned about the stance of his teammates.

The more people give, the more they will get.

Lu Yang always takes the initiative to stand up for his teammates on the court, so accordingly, he also hopes to see some support from his teammates within their ability.

"So how will you face him in tomorrow's team training match?" Moric asked, "A beautiful Slide Tackle or freeze his ball? I know you don't like to express it simply in words."

Lu Yang thought for a while, "Let's look at it again. If there is really no me in the way he plays, then there will be no him in the way I play. Before that, I would not arbitrarily trigger my teammates to do anything to him."

Chinese culture is broad and profound.

A show of force is just a very superficial move.

For a truly powerful chess player, when you see his murderous intent clearly, everything is a foregone conclusion.

Using random moves has no other effect than exposing your purpose.

"You are so unlucky that you met a core big-name player who is unwilling to be compatible with you so quickly." Moric limped and said something rude to express his jealousy towards Lu Yang.

Because Sophia is making video calls and has to do so every night, Moric must avoid it.

What kind of pornographic content are you doing, chatting for half the night, private live broadcast?

That's outrageous!

"No, you are so lucky to have met an uncle who is willing to tolerate your playing style!" Lu Yang pressed Moric's head, shut him out, and then connected to Sophia's video, "Why did you take a shower again today?"

In the video, Sophia was wrapped in a bath towel and said with a smile, "This makes it more ceremonial..."

While talking, Sophia climbed onto the bed, so it is normal for the camera to be exposed intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Yang is used to this and knows how to appreciate it.

The next day.

San Remo On the training ground, the players welcomed the influential figure Becherci.

Wearing sunglasses, he broke through the siege of reporters and looked like a star.

On the court, Soto deliberately called everyone over, but did not say more.

Being surrounded and silent is a very strange state.

Everyone is looking at Lu Yang, waiting for Lu Yang to express his stance.

Lu Yang's attitude will determine their attitude.

Camihon I'm new here, how did I know there are so many twists and turns?

In his previous team, the boss in the locker room was always a veteran, not a seventeen-year-old boy. So he walked out without knowing the importance and prepared to say hello to Becherci.

Beretelli pressed Camihon, who was about to say hello, and said, "Listen more, speak less. Never express your stance before Lu has expressed his attitude. These will be the two most important principles during your playing days at San Remo."

Camihon was stunned. "What about Coach Soto's order? Put it in the third pick? Wouldn't it be too disrespectful to the leader?"

Beretelli smiled and said, "If you do the first two points well, you will not violate the third point."

Otherwise, why is ginger still spicier?

Even though Beretelli has only been here a few days, he has really understood the team relationship.

San Remo This team's last name is... Lu!

Ever since, the atmosphere on the training ground became inexplicably tense.
