I AM the Football Star-Chapter 608 - 160: A New Storm Has Emerged—Lu’s Arc Worth One Hundred Million Euros!

Rumble!

The site roared again!

But Lu Yang, Audi, and other players didn't look surprised.

Reporter: "So, what about Vincent?"

Maniero: "Just now, the Italian Football Association made a decision to dismiss Vincent. From now on, I will lead the national team and prepare for next summer's European Cup!"

At almost the same time, the reporters' phones buzzed, and they received the news.

The official platform of the Italian Football Association released this announcement. Vincent was dismissed, and Maniero was appointed as head coach of the Italy Team, with an annual salary of one million euros!

This news, surprisingly, didn't shock anyone.

Because this journey of Italy's European Cup qualifiers has already shown that Vincent is indeed trash.

And Lu Yang and Morici, who helped Italy defy destiny, are players that Maniero has been advocating for.

When Maniero accepted Vincent's invitation to enter the national team and carry the blame, he said that the only condition was if the team made it to the European Cup, Lu Yang must be included next year.

And Lu Yang lived up to expectations, fighting his way into the super intense competition of young stars even while being in Serie B.

Even under the suppression of the two big benefactors, Ah Ke and Nike, he still went crazy in the Golden Boy Award!

This year's Golden Boy Award controversy was unprecedented.

Some fans have already started to believe that even if Lu Yang doesn't win the Golden Boy Award, he should at least be in the top five, if not the top three.

And this was criticism before this playoff match.

So Vincent had no choice but to call up Lu Yang to enter the national team early.

This call-up changed the fate of Italy forever.

Behind this legendary experience is gamble after gamble, and miracle after miracle.

Maniero reached this position almost a year earlier than everyone had imagined!

Initially, everyone thought it was suitable for Maniero to take over after the European Cup.

Because the European Cup performance of Italy was definitely going to be average.

But last summer, Maniero took over the Italy National Youth Team, and he himself walked into a giant pit.

If he failed, his plan to take over the national team would definitely be delayed.

No one wanted to have a failure lead the team to success, especially a team that already lacked confidence.

Who would have thought that Maniero would find divine favor and actually lead the team to win the championship!

This locked his time to become the national team head coach after the European Cup.

Even if Vincent led the team out of the European Cup group stage, Maniero could still take over later with the support of Martivini.

But Vincent unbelievably led Italy to the playoffs!

This...

And Vincent also shamefully pulled Maniero along into the group.

Once Italy was completely eliminated, Vincent would undoubtedly be doomed. Maniero would also be hit, facing more resistance in taking the role. The position might still be his, but the power would likely be restricted.

Who knew... Maniero was at home, and fortune came from heaven.

Brother Lu's hat-trick forcefully carried Italy into the European Cup.

Maniero wanted to jump into the pit but couldn't — he was dragged back by Brother Lu!

This legendary experience, who would believe it if told?

Maniero's experience probably can't be matched by anyone other than the creators of miracles and myths like Qi Xuan Sect and Gua Gualong.

Even the Sweden head coach, when interviewed, expressed envy toward Maniero: "We beat Italy, but we lost to Lu! A player like this, you can't predict his future, he's unprecedented in football!"

"I couldn't lead Sweden into the European Cup, this makes me feel very frustrated, I've already submitted my resignation letter to the association!"

"I envy Maniero for being able to coach Lu Yang. He doesn't need you to worry about him; the only thing you need to do is call him up and let him play!"

"Italy worshiped the right god this time, wishing Lu Yang blesses them to go further next year!"

Italy's true god — Lu Yang!

Famous across Europe!

...

Great competitions always produce superstars!

The more important the match, the more it draws the public's attention.

Standing out, thus not difficult.

But being able to write the first stroke of one's name in the national team with a key hat-trick like Lu Yang, there are very few.

Even those as strong as Mei Luo at the start of the national team were merely supporting roles.

Looking back from years into the future, Lu Yang's biggest significance in this game might not even be helping Italy with a last-second qualification to the European Cup.

It's about… kicking out his status in the Italy National Team!

After the match, when Italy's top stars were interviewed, this clearly showed.

Bernulin: "I'm grateful for what I said back then, if there's someone who can still save Italy, it's Lu!"

Drake: "This is the most correct decision I've made in my life, bar none! I know I couldn't help Italy, but I also knew this little guy called Lu Yang definitely could!"

Perrotta: "Yes, it's very enjoyable to play with Lu Yang on the field. He's the kind of player who doesn't waste the opportunities created by hardworking center-forwards. Sogel feels very fortunate to be beside him!"

Candreva: "Thanks to Lu Yang for speaking up for me. My private messages increased by fifty thousand 'sorrys', while previously there were thirty thousand angry messages. So the question is... Who secretly cursed me?"

"Of course, this is just a joke. Thanks to Lu Yang for speaking up for me, and even more thanks to him and Morici for not letting my sacrifice go to waste. If there was a chance again, I might not have the courage to ask to get off! That's a very cruel thing for any professional player!"
