"Oh oh oh! Unbelievable! Hat trick! Ladies and gentlemen, I must announce here that the first hat trick of this season’s Italian Third Division has been born! It belongs to San Remo’s left-back, Lu Yang!"
"Such positive movement, I’ve never seen such a boldly attacking full-back!"
"His efficiency is incredible! Five shots in total, four on target, three goals, and one assist!"
"He’s causing a chemical reaction within the whole team — he’s San Remo’s real answer!"
"Listen up, the home fans are cheering wildly, they’re singing a song written for Lu Yang! Such treatment has never happened in San Remo before!"
After Lu Yang’s header goal, the score remained unchanged.
The full-time score is four to one!
San Remo achieved a resounding victory.
Post-match, the media interviewed the best player of the match, Lu Yang, with three goals and one assist.
Journalist: "San Remo is winless in four matches without you, and upon your return, you secured a victory. Does this prove your dominance in this team?"
Lu Yang: "Don’t say that. I’m just a part of the team and haven’t contributed more than any other team member. We won because we outperformed the opponent this match. We’re still a new team, it’s normal to have inconsistent results during the adjustment period. I hope the fans will be more patient with us. We won’t let you down."
Journalist: "Do you consider yourself a core player in the team?"
Lu Yang: "That depends on how you define a core player. As I mentioned earlier, I’m just a part of the team; team victory requires everyone’s contributions. Morici’s organization and precise passes, Bai Zhami’s shielding, Sogel’s confrontations, Versachi’s impact, Latu Yidi’s positioning, Fernandez’s maneuvers... too many, each person is crucial!"
The journalist looked at the thoroughly selfless Lu Yang, marveling at why this kid dislikes the spotlight.
The team struggled for a win, you returned from the bench, scored three times, and made an assist, isn’t this the perfect scenario for a heroic narrative?
Who could refuse becoming the main character of this scene?
Don’t say Lu Yang is merely an Italian Third Division player; even superstars in the Five Major Leagues would cheer for themselves for such an achievement.
Why is Lu Yang so calm and generously sharing the credit with the whole team?
Does he not have any inexplicable male competitiveness and desire for dominance in his heart?
To this, Lu Yang can only say, a footballer’s dominance shows on the field.
By sharing the credit with the team, does he really lose fans’ and media’s acclaim?
Not at all.
In fact, genuine credit cannot be stolen.
By doing so, Lu Yang turns a single accomplishment into multiple ones; not only does his own not diminish, but his teammates receive more praise.
Mathematics, sometimes, is just that simple!
This is the proper way to handle honor.
Instead of selfish competition and endless internal disputes.
"Lu Yang!"
Beside him, Sofia rushed over and tightly embraced Lu Yang.
The journalist felt a mix of emotions.
Low profile my foot!
This embrace, the discussion it sparked, might cause more debate than this match itself.
Truly a lucky boy!
In the post-match news conference, some media questioned Feipi’s head coach about Lu Yang’s performance today.
The head coach Feipi spread his hands: "I’ve never seen this style of play before; my team can handle a single left-winger but can’t resist the impact of two left-wingers."
"No team can resist! His impact is too strong!"
"We didn’t lose to San Remo; we simply lost to a player named Lu Yang, that’s all."
Naturally, Sotu had something to say about this: "I don’t fully agree with head coach Feipi’s assessment; Lu Yang is a part of San Remo, he’s seamlessly integrated into the team, his victory is the team’s victory."
"We’re still in the process of blending, but Lu Yang guarantees our minimum standard through this adaption. He’s an incredibly efficient player; his defense masks his prowess in attacking, similarly, his offense overshadows his excellence in defense."
"Whether it’s Lu Yang or San Remo, both will become stronger. Previously, people ridiculed Latu Yidi’s statement, and now I’m repeating it — we will stay in the Italian Third Division for only one season!"
Sotu’s statement caused numerous responses among Italian Third Division teams post-match.
Many think he is too arrogant.
Even San Remo’s team president felt Sotu might be too high profile, inviting him to the office for a brief inquiry on this issue.
Yet, Sotu expressed: "Due to our summer investment, we are destined to maintain anything but a low profile in the Italian Third Division. Since that’s the case, why fear more challenges? Anyway, our goal this season can only be promotion; neither you nor I would accept staying in the Italian Third Division, right?"
"Moreover, the first four matches of the season brought significant psychological pressure on the players, with some even doubting themselves. Now, we need to boost their confidence, we must help them relieve pressure!"
"Tactical and technical skills are one thing, mindset is another. Without a determined winning mindset, how can one play winning football? This is the biggest difference between Lu Yang and other players."
