I AM the Football Star

How deep is our grudge?

"French Football" really has some wishful thinking.

They know very well what kind of player Talista is.

A super troublemaker!

How could such a person be content to play second fiddle?

They believe that Talista joining San Remo and the previous praise for Lu Yang was just a last resort.

When the right opportunity arises, Talista will seize the throne without hesitation, turning the tables.

And "French Football" is willing to offer Talista such an opportunity.

Now, all of Europe’s attention is on you and Lu Yang.

As long as you are willing to stand up and say Lu Yang is garbage, everyone will flock to support you, and you’ll become highly sought after again.

Will Talista hesitate to step on Lu Yang to rise?

On the same day, Talista posted a comment on his social media platform about the article: "First of all, I can assure you the writer of this article knows nothing about football."

"Because if he knew football, he would surely know you can question Lu Yang’s future, but you can never question Lu Yang’s present. Because the future is unknown, but the present is seen by everyone."

"I have never given up treating Lu Yang as my competition, even though we are on the same team. But precisely for this reason, I will not accept my greatest rival being belittled by others."

"Though I am reluctant to admit it, I must say, whether it’s me or Sogel or the substitute Calafiori, even Bai Zhami, Fernandez, or Naji, the central forward position at San Remo is irrelevant."

"As long as Lu Yang is there, San Remo remains San Remo."

"My stats have always been good, a reflection of my abilities. But Lu Yang’s stats are equally an indication of his capabilities, even sacrificing some of his own stats for me and Bai Zhami at times."

"He has the ability to monopolize all the team’s goals, you understand? He has that strength!"

"So don’t use me to attack Lu Yang anymore. We are close teammates now. We only collaborate, with no rancor between us."

"I’m not saying this just because Lu Yang is the captain. That’s just who I am. When the day comes that I leave San Remo and need to challenge Lu Yang again, I’ll do it myself, without needing ’French Football’ to stir anything up."

"Finally, the absence of the great Talista from the hundred-man voting pool is further proof of ’French Football’ lacking authority and fairness. Didn’t I perform well enough this year? My goals are ranked in the top ten among all European forwards, and I can’t understand it."

"Can you give me an answer, French Football?"

French Football did not gain Talista’s support.

Instead, they got bitten by Talista.

Don’t be fooled into thinking only Lu Yang wasn’t included in the hundred-man list; Talista wasn’t on it either.

This is partly due to his rapid rise.

And certainly related to his notorious reputation.

"We knew many people would bring up the European Cup." ’French Football’ on its homepage seemed to respond to Talista’s comments.

But Talista looks bewildered.

Your script was already prepared, wasn’t it?

I didn’t say a single word about the European Cup.

Have you begun writing and directing a show on your own?

"But we’ve already said many times, the European Cup was the effort of all Italian players. Lu Yang has also repeatedly acknowledged this." French Football screamed, "His stats are unique, but stats cannot fully capture the contributions of other players."

"When you’re playing alongside Ancelotti and Perrotta, your chances will definitely increase. Any forward player understands this."

"Praxedes, Bernulin, Calafi, Audi, the contributions of these veterans shouldn’t be forgotten."

"I admit, Lu Yang’s penalty save was indeed cool and legendary. But what does that prove? A penalty is pure luck; we all understand that."

"Even the later hyped-up successive saves were largely down to luck, weren’t they?"

"If Lu Yang were a goalkeeper, we wouldn’t mind rewarding his outstanding performance by including him in the hundred-man list. But he’s not; he’s an attacking midfielder."

"Many people, based on performance and role, are more suited to be in this list than he is."

French Football used "borrowing a knife to kill" twice on you.

First Talista, then a group of Italy’s veterans.

French Football is clearly trying to stir up some trouble around Lu Yang.

The method is simple.

But sometimes the simpler the tactic, the better the effect.

Especially against Lu Yang.

Because Lu Yang has never been a model player.

He’s the notorious controversial player.

His actions have caused numerous internal and external conflicts.

He’s called Italy’s toughest man, but without all those confrontations and fights, how else would he get such a title?

Plus, Lu Yang is successful in love, winning over Kiss of Europa Sofia.

Meanwhile, he’s thriving in business, with achievements large and small in music, movies, and even personal branding.

Such a person naturally evokes jealousy among peers.

And even if it’s not envy, Lu Yang has too many adversaries.

Not to mention, Ancelotti... their relationship with Lu Yang is at most superficially harmonious.
