There are even reports that several traditional powerhouses in European football have analyzed the playing style of the Italy National Youth Team.
Without any geniuses, and with their tactics thoroughly understood by others, how can they expect to achieve good results without change?
So Maniero loudly announced his appointment and revealed his player selection process.
As a result, although those players would also cause controversy, the greatest controversy would undoubtedly be directed at Maniero, the decision-maker.
Therefore, whether it’s Sevajos in Ligue 1, Lam who was loaned out, or even Juventus’ Canyes who occasionally plays with the first team, they won’t feel much pressure.
Of course, someone like Morici still couldn’t avoid being the focus of media discussion.
Because in Maniero’s plan, Morici will be the future core of the Italy National Youth Team.
A Croatian who missed half a season, a player from the Italian Third Division... it’s really hard to convince the public.
Just that tiny guy?
Does he deserve it?
Who gave him the courage?
Lu Yang?
In an instant, the entire European football scene was buzzing, already warming up for the European Youth Championship this summer.
...
"Momo, stop crying, you’re not garbage at all. They’ll realize they’re wrong at this year’s European Youth Championship." Lu Yang comforted the downhearted Morici.
No one would feel great after being questioned by so much news.
"I appreciate your concern, but it would be better if you weren’t holding a ’Congratulations to Sofia and Lu Yang for raking in a 2.5 billion euro box office’ poster!" Honestly, Morici didn’t feel like playing football anymore.
How much did Lu Yang make from The Invisible Guest?
While I’m still fighting for my life on the football field!
Morici’s mentality was completely off balance.
From initially resenting the coach and hierarchy, he even started resenting wealth!
"Actually, I didn’t get much. What reached me was just small money. Sofia is the real big winner. I estimate about just over ten million euros on my side." Lu Yang was modest and then explained to the daydreaming Morici the professional details of box office share ratios, distribution mechanisms, funds return cycle, film production costs, and revenue structures.
Morici listened in utter despair.
Listen!
Is this even human language from Lu Dog?
It’s basically all flaunting wealth!
There’s really no big difference.
In this era, if you don’t flaunt wealth, how do you have wealth to flaunt?
With righteous indignation, Morici secretly started challenging Lu Yang’s top assist position in the league.
He intentionally created more direct assists for himself, resulting in more assists attributed to him but fewer for the team overall.
But soon, Lu Yang noticed Morici’s double-crossing behavior and also began focusing on providing assists; some opportunities he would normally shoot immediately, he started to pass to the attacking trio.
Thus, Lu Yang’s assists increased, while his shots decreased.
Yet even during the political intrigue between the two cores, San Remo maintained an undefeated record in the next four matches, without any reduction in offensive performance.
This was enough to prove that even with both cores operating at low intensity, San Remo had already surpassed the Italian Third Division.
San Remo was rapidly strengthening.
In the thirty-eighth round of the league, Lu Yang and Morici were both substituted after just thirty minutes.
Because in the next match, San Remo would visit Juventus Stadium to compete with the current Serie A fourth-place team Rome for a spot in the Italian Cup final!
But before that, everyone would first enjoy one of the most significant matches in Serie A this season... a Super City Derby played out in the Italian Cup, AC Milan VS Inter Milan!
In terms of importance, this is the Italian Cup semi-final, which is quite significant.
In terms of desire to win, even if AC Milan didn’t want to go all out, they also feared losing too badly and displeasing their fans, so they’d still give it about 70% or 80% effort.
Also, in the league, Inter and AC Milan are considered potential rivals for the top four, although Inter’s biggest rival is actually Rome.
Considering all factors, the excitement of this match is undoubtedly assured.
This match takes place in both teams’ shared home ground, the San Siro/Meazza Stadium.
The starting line-ups announced before the match were mostly within expectations.
On AC Milan’s side, the supercore Izalelt was seated on the bench, accompanied by two main players.
Those in the know understand that it’s very likely they won’t appear in this match but are there for mere formality against Martivini.
On Inter Milan’s side, Serie A’s second biggest star, Serie A’s top Divine Striker Gutierrez was indeed in the starting line-up!
Inter’s intention to fully compete for the Italian Cup was nearly transparent.
Even though they know this trophy won’t keep Gutierrez, but... what if?
What if Gutierrez decides he doesn’t want the ten million euro salary and insists on taking Inter’s six million euro?
What if Gutierrez feels the excellence of his teammates and the adoration of fans from this Italian Cup trophy?
What if...
In the seventy-minute mark of the match, Gutierrez was substituted, and the audience was in an uproar.
The score stood at Inter Milan trailing 1:2 to AC Milan.
AC Milan’s substitutes bench, with Izalelt and the other two key players, remained calm without entering the field.
