"The Devil Knocks! Canyes’s Adductor and Groin Reveal Injury Risks!"
"Italian Wing Suffers a Loss! San Remo Announces European Super Cup Squad, Canyes Not Included!"
"Decision for Surgery! Canyes Reports His Injury Status on Social Media!"
"Significant Blow! San Remo Has No Strength to Introduce Another Quality Right Back!"
"At Least Two Months! By the Time Canyes Returns, San Remo Might Have Fallen Behind Across the Board!"
"Dream of Five Titles Evaporates! European Super Cup, AC Milan Aims for Victory!"
The show "Super Football," hosted by Luo Cheng and Tang Yuqin, was the first to secure an interview with Canyes.
In the interview, Canyes stated, "It was Lu who first discovered my injury. He pays close attention to every player in the team, and he even knows our bodies and conditions better than we do."
"It was also Lu who advised me to have surgery; he told me it would be beneficial for my career."
"Honestly, without Lu’s support, I might have chosen conservative treatment. I don’t know what impact this might have had on my future, but after the doctor told me about the possible outcomes, I only have gratitude for Lu."
"I will recuperate well, and then return to the team as soon as possible."
Lu Yang was naturally also interviewed.
Luo Cheng: "Lu Yang, will Canyes’s temporary departure affect San Remo?"
Lu Yang: "It will definitely have a significant impact; his role in the team is irreplaceable."
Luo Cheng: "Does this mean it will be difficult for you to compete against a fully equipped AC Milan in the upcoming European Super Cup? This time, they have brought out their full strength!"
Lu Yang: "Facing the Champions League winners is indeed very challenging, but it’s also a chance for us to prove ourselves. We want to use a trophy to let Canyes rest easy! This battle is for Canyes, and I think it will inspire us to tap into our greater potential!"
Luo Cheng: "Okay, wishing you success in the European Super Cup!"
...
Evening, August 25th.
The European Super Cup commenced at the Beijing Bird’s Nest Stadium.
A crowd of 80,000 spectators filled the venue to capacity.
Many prestigious clubs have tremendous influence in the mainland.
But in recent years, AC Milan may have the most fans in the mainland.
This is especially evident after last year’s tragic Champions League runners-up and this year’s vindicating Champions League win.
And don’t forget, the mainland fans’ home team San Remo is known as Little AC Milan!
Today is an internal battle of AC Milan!
On AC Milan’s side, the starting central forward Sogel was the main central forward for San Remo in the past two years.
On San Remo’s side, the head coach Sotu is a former AC Milan star.
The entrance of the two teams led to cheers from all 80,000 spectators, and the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
"Hello, everyone, I am your good friend Mou Jun," the commentator began. "AC Milan, I am sure everyone is familiar. This summer, AC Milan’s Son of God, Izalelt, left for the Bernabéu."
"But at the same time, they also welcomed back their heir apparent, Sogel!"
"Tactically speaking, Andres, who performed well in the past two years, has now become the absolute core of AC Milan. Whether this Portuguese talent can shoulder the sky left by Izalelt’s departure along with Sogel remains to be seen."
"It’s worth noting that AC Milan veteran Praxedes is also starting today. After the grueling battles of the European Cup, Praxedes, who achieved his European Cup dream, practically has no regrets left."
"If there is any goal left in his career, it might be to help AC Milan quickly complete its rebuild within two years!"
"On the other side, San Remo, veteran Bernulin is suspended for five matches due to his handball against Robben in the European Cup, and the European Super Cup is one of the suspension matches, so he cannot play today."
"Today, San Remo is playing with a 4-3-3 formation."
"The forward line consists of Bai Zhami, Talista, and Lu Yang. Oh, Lu Yang has been moved to the right winger position, which is a very exciting decision."
"Everyone knows this player, who has continually received multiple golden boots, won’t stay in midfield forever. His limit should be in the front line!"
"In midfield, from left to right, are Delarre, Lam, and Morici. Delarre’s good performance in the last match earned him a starting spot, which is related to the adjustments involving Kaint."
"Yes, Kaint is surprisingly playing at right back today, filling in the gap left by Canyes. However, this adjustment may spark some debate after the match."
"Kaint is a defensive midfielder, lacking the attacking capability required for a right-back. Moreover, good midfield defense doesn’t necessarily translate to good right-back defense. This is a very bold adjustment!"
"San Remo’s defense consists of Camihong, Palacios, Naji, and Kaint, with Areola as the goalkeeper."
Whistle!
The match begins.
On San Remo’s side, Delarre takes a kick-off shot, aiming directly for Talista in the front line.
However, Talista struggles to gain speed amidst the tussle with AC Milan defender Chaloba.
Ultimately, the football is caught by AC Milan’s advancing goalkeeper.
The chemistry between these two new players isn’t very strong yet.
If the ball had been fed directly to Talista without leading, it might have posed more of a threat.
Delarre signals that his pass wasn’t comprehensive.
The rest of the teammates express their understanding.
At least the idea was good, the ball handling was precise enough, and the issue was just with coordination.
