I AM the Football Star

Chapter 838 - 203: Life-and-Death Battle, Lola’s Work Report and Recommendations

"Italy 6-2: This team has gone mad!"

"No tears for Italy! A big win against Russia, rising to the top of the group!"

"All-round bloom! Perrotta, Ancelotti, Lu Yang, Sogel, Kolber all scored up front!"

"Frequent appearances of the San Remo connection changed Italy’s attacking style!"

"Back-to-back 2+1! Lu Yang is the only player in the European Cup to have consecutive two-goal, one-assist matches in the last twelve years!"

"Top of the European Cup scoring chart! It’s him, again!"

"The day has finally come! Four goals, alone at the top of the European Cup scoring chart, this is Lu Yang!"

"Last year, he just won the Golden Boy Award, but the way he’s playing now, he might be in the top 30 for the Golden Ball Award in two years at most!"

"Lu unbeatable! Golden Boot machine Lu Yang shines brightly! Can he win the Golden Boot in this European Cup?"

"Super cool fact! Aside from the half season when he entered his career, Lu Yang has won the Golden Boot in nearly all the competitions he’s participated in! All of them!"

"Italian Third Division, Italian Cup, European Youth Championship, Italian Super Cup, Serie B, Europa League... Will Lu Yang’s next Golden Boot be in the European Cup?"

"Youth storm! Nineteen-year-old Lu Yang becomes the hot favorite for the Golden Boot in this European Cup!"

"France’s Robben and Portugal’s Madeira are tied for second place in the scoring chart with three goals, below Lu Yang!"

"Desperate journey, creating miracles again! Morici with three assists tops the assists chart! Paired brilliantly with Lu Yang!"

"4430! Italy climbs to the top of the group by goal difference, France tied for second, Portugal loses to France and painfully loses three points, ranking third, and Russia is eliminated early with two losses!"

"4-2! France wins the crucial battle, holding the qualification in their own hands. Next match against Russia, unbeaten means advancing!"

"Portugal VS Italy! A clash of life and death emerges, Portugal and Italy both have chances to advance as long as they remain unbeaten, but defeating each other guarantees advancement!"

"Most suspenseful group stage! Italy, France, Portugal all have chances to advance, the case is intense and complex!"

"Italy creates another group of death! Retained suspense until the last moment, replicating the European Youth Championship qualification scenario!"

After this round of matches, too many newsworthy stories emerged.

Every piece of news carries some information worth savoring.

After all, regardless of victory or defeat, the first match doesn’t actually decide anything.

But once the result of the second match is out, some teams are already certain to advance or be eliminated.

This results in several key matches in the final round.

The attention for teams that have already advanced or been eliminated is absolutely not as high as those with potential outcomes remaining.

Whoever can withstand pressure at crucial moments to deliver better performances wins the love of many fans.

This is why players who perform well in major tournaments and key moments are more loved by fans.

Whether it’s Kobe or C Luo, both are hailed as kings of clutch moments, and their popularity partly comes from their extraordinary performances at crucial times.

From an influence perspective, the significance of a single iconic match sometimes exceeds ten or fifteen consecutive matches with goals.

During the preparation for the final group match, reporters interviewed many players.

Reporter: Zidane, what is your attitude towards the current situation of the France Team?

Zidane: The team atmosphere is great, and the current results are within everyone’s acceptance. We will face the third group match with our best form.

Reporter: Do you feel regret for not advancing early?

Zidane: We absolutely do not have that mindset. Wanting to advance early in such a tournament is very difficult because every opponent is not simple. Many underestimated Italy before the tournament, but now Italy is even ahead of us, and that’s football for you.

Reporter: Who do you think can advance between Italy and Portugal?

Zidane: I don’t know, but I hope, and I believe, the France Team will definitely advance. Whether it’s Italy or Portugal, both are strong teams, including Russia. We will definitely not underestimate Russia, which is a team with the Tsar after all!

Look at that.

With Zidane’s attitude, Lu Yang can be sure that if there are opportunities to work together in the future, Olic certainly won’t mind teaming up with Zidane.

Isn’t this casting a wide net?

Moreover, Russian fans will definitely feel great about Zidane because of these remarks.

Holding up opponents is indirectly holding up oneself, isn’t it?

Zidane often manages to hide several hints in a single sentence, hitting multiple targets—absolutely stunning.

The real situation in this group is that the France Team has the greatest chance to advance because the strength gap with Russia is the largest.

But you can’t tell this at all from Zidane’s words.

Reporter: What about you, Robben, do you think Lu Yang will ultimately win the European Cup Golden Boot? He’s scored one more goal than you!

Robben: Scoring goals is just a means, our ultimate goal is to advance, advance, advance!

Reporter: How do you view everyone’s remarks that if Lu Yang wasn’t in Serie B last season but in Serie A, then the European Golden Boot would have been in his pocket?

Robben: Such speculation is meaningless, you’ll know the answer next season.

Robben at Bayern Munich used the dominating advantage of the Southern King to rack up plenty of goals.
