Lu Yang’s goal highlights can definitely lure anyone in.
Just in terms of the viewing pleasure and absurdity of the goals, Lu Yang is world-class!
"Was this logging shot made by Lu Yang?"
"Wow! A bicycle kick outside the penalty box, shooting at the Crimson Gate! I’ve seen this goal, it was him who made it!"
"Breaking the net with a shot? Is that for real?"
"The S-shaped free kick, it’s him!"
"Zero-angle goal from the corner flag area, I know this one!"
"World-class four-man defense in front of the goal, I thought it was a Serie A defensive superstar when I watched it back then!"
"Toying with AC Milan’s defense, the car crash creator, this goal has been quite hot recently!"
You wouldn’t know until you watch it, and when you do, it’s a shocker.
Not until then did everyone realize they’ve seen quite a few of Lu Yang’s goals to some extent.
So this is Lu Yang!
This is the Italian Third Division youngster?
This is the Chinese player?
That’s impressive!
Suddenly, many fans became interested.
And Lu Yang’s explosive playing style quickly attracted a group of fans domestically.
"Lu Yang Bar" started to emerge, and followers soon exceeded ten thousand.
But immediately, "World Football News" released a sarcastic program about "Football Sports."
They were not unaware of Lu Yang as a player. In fact, after the Champions League, "World Football News" was the first domestic media to learn about the "San Siro Incident."
But they quickly determined that this information did not have much value for continued tracking and chose instead to wholeheartedly focus on the England Youth Team’s coverage this summer.
The reason was that Chen Jun, the editor-in-chief of "World Football News," learned about Lu Yang’s injury situation.
"After the match, Lu Yang received treatment immediately, and his injuries were revealed. A torn cruciate ligament and meniscus wear are enough to ruin any young football player’s future."
"A torn cruciate ligament means Lu Yang will be unable to play for at least half a year. After six months, San Remo might have already sunk in Serie B, and even if Lu Yang recovers, his explosiveness and stamina will be affected to some extent, making his future unclear."
"Additionally, the meniscus wear comes from Lu Yang’s playing style. Although his explosive style is visually stunning, an Asian body cannot withstand the load brought by such a style of play. If the torn cruciate ligament downgraded Lu Yang, then the meniscus wear completely negates him."
"He is destined to be a talent that will be wasted, and we should not just focus too much attention on him because he is Chinese. We do not see the future of football in him. The future of football is in the Premier League, under the feet of superstars like Mancini!"
"Lastly, although Lu Yang’s Chinese heritage is confirmed, having been born in Italy as a Chinese, we have reason to believe he might not even speak ’hello’ in Chinese."
"Some media hyping up this ABC might be a bit wishful thinking. We still hope everyone will rationally look at the news related to Lu Yang, who is Italian, not Chinese."
For a moment, new discussions emerged domestically.
Fan groups led by the two major media, "World Football News" and "Football Sports," held differing views, showing polarized opinions on Lu Yang.
And the former currently had the upper hand.
But just three days later, the discussion in the football community quickly expanded.
Because more influential groups joined in.
That is... the domestic entertainment industry!
...
June 10, France, Cannes.
The grand opening ceremony of the Cannes International Film Festival was held.
Three well-known domestic directors and actors became judges of this Cannes Film Festival.
There were also two domestic films selected for the Cannes screening unit.
Among them, one film entered the main competition unit, having a huge impact.
Therefore, many news media from the mainland appeared at this Cannes Film Festival.
But soon, domestic media felt the gap between domestic stars and international superstars.
This Cannes Film Festival was packed with superstars.
The flashlights never stopped when many superstars walked the red carpet.
Compared to the sparsely flashing lights during domestic stars walking the red carpet, the difference was stark.
Of course, Cannes hasn’t yet been ruined by fame-seeking celebrities, avoiding the awkward situations where unknown domestic stars hire photographers to take their pictures without any journalists bothering them.
Soon, a domestic star was promptly pulled away by security for lingering too long on the red carpet.
This not-so-small-time domestic star shouted, "I am a star, I am a superstar!"
The security shrugged and said, "Who isn’t?"
In such circumstances, domestic media felt quite embarrassed.
They clearly sensed the slightly contemptuous gazes from the international media peers around them.
Being unknown or not having international influence is fine, but lingering on the red carpet is indeed embarrassing.
This is a typical case of disgrace abroad.
However, soon, media around suddenly got excited.
Domestic entertainment reporters were puzzled and asked, "What happened? Who’s coming? Da Li or the Pirate Captain? Or Brad Jolie, Angelina Pitt?"
There were still some good people among the foreign media peers, who said, "It’s Danny Best!"
Danny Best!
The England superstar, the football heartthrob.
He not only boasts unparalleled popularity in the football world but also has high exposure and influence in the international fashion and entertainment circles.
