I AM the Football Star-Chapter 501 - 137: Crowned the Treble Winner!

The soccer ball penetrated the net.

Lu Yang, after missing a penalty, scored on the rebound.

Four to three!

San Remo scored again in the ninety-fourth minute.

"Lu Yang! Lu Yang has scored again!"

"Two goals in one game, Lu Yang completed a spectacular match at the Bird’s Nest Stadium!"

"The first reaction after missing the penalty was to continue chasing the ball. This shows a player’s desire for victory. This tireless spirit is something that all soccer players in the country should learn!"

"This was a penalty of immense significance! It was Lu Yang’s first missed penalty, marking his eighty-ninth goal in official matches during his career!"

Luo Cheng calculated very clearly. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Eighteen goals in the Italian D Division, sixty goals over the full season in the Italian Third Division, nine goals in the European Youth Championship, plus two from this match, making it eighty-nine goals for Lu Yang within just under two years!

In fact, if we include three exhibition matches of Star of Italy, Lu Yang’s goals are nearing one hundred.

How efficient is this?

"Of course, let’s also congratulate San Remo in advance. They have achieved an unprecedented Triple Crown in the Italian Third Division!" Luo Cheng bestowed yet another title.

The Triple Crown is a title of substantial weight in European Football, typically referring to three championships: the Champions League, League, and Domestic Cup.

Of course, with the spread of events like the Domestic Super Cup, European Super Cup, Community Shield, and FIFA Club World Cup, some teams have gradually included these into their championship honors, calling themselves Triple Crown winners.

Therefore, the Triple Crown title has somewhat lost its purity.

But it still signifies strength.

Teams that get three of these championships are undoubtedly powerhouses.

Not to mention those who sweep the cosmos with a Quintuple Crown or a historically unprecedented Sextuple Crown.

Yet...

No one expected that now even in the Italian Third Division, a Triple Crown winner has emerged!

The league title of the Italian Third Division might be insignificant, but to be in the Third Division and win the Italian Cup is legendary.

And now, the legend continues.

They also defeated last season’s Serie A champion in the Italian Super Cup.

What a glory is this?

Doesn’t this prove that San Remo has the combat power of a Serie A Level team?

Indeed... it is true.

Actually, last season, San Remo proved they had Serie A Level strength by beating Samp, Rome, and AC Milan, at least they had Serie A Level attacking capability.

And after a summer of reinforcements, calling San Remo the floor of Serie A now wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

On the field.

After San Remo’s celebration, Juventus resumed play, but the Main Referee didn’t give the Serie A giant time to wake up, ending the match directly.

Applause roared, and all San Remo players rushed onto the green field.

The commentator said: "Let’s congratulate San Remo on filling yet another void in the club’s history. The honors they’ve achieved now exceed most Serie B teams."

"Of course, Juventus needs to reflect well. They seem not to have moved past their triple crown from last season."

"In fact, when Juventus’s pre-season training started this season, as many as three key players couldn’t participate directly due to not meeting weight and body fat benchmarks."

"Meanwhile, they lost a key player and a backup on the defensive line. Although Juventus did bring in new players during this summer, it seems the integration will take time."

"Veterans need time to get back in shape, new players need time to blend into the team, and most excellent key players weren’t even on the match roster. With such a lineup for practice and honing, Juventus certainly underestimated San Remo with Serie A Level strength."

"They may have the reason to underestimate, as their trophy room doesn’t really have space for another Italian Super Cup. Everyone knows that Juventus’s ultimate goal this season isn’t even to win the league title but... the Champions League!"

"With a focus on the Champions League, they disdain any other glory; this is the confidence of a Serie A Triple Crown winner."

Teams like Juventus actually have this template in reality.

Many top teams vying for the Champions League in that year often appear casual in other competitions, especially early in the season.

Take the recent Manchester United, not yet reaching top-tier strength levels, but can carelessly exit the League Cup, even some fans saying it’s a strategic loss to reduce late-season match pressure, seen as a good decision... it really makes one’s head spin.

Is this a decision?

This is totally an accident!

Ask whether they want to exit the League Cup so early!

So, likewise, Juventus’s coaching staff now looks speechless.

Ask them if they want the Italian Super Cup?

Of course, they do.

But... losing, ask again, and perhaps they won’t answer the same.

Sure enough, a reporter soon found the Juventus Head Coach and interviewed him: "Does this match where Juventus lost to Serie B promoted San Remo seem normal?"

The Juventus head coach showed a charming and appropriate smile: "If you ask me, this is actually normal. Our first goal this season is the Champions League, the second is achieving a fourth consecutive league title, and other honors are not within our current priorities."

"Congratulations to San Remo on winning a new trophy. They’re very good, and I hope they have a smooth journey this season."
