I AM the Football Star
Chapter 807 - 196: Inter’s Agony, Juventus’s Hatred, San Remo the Troublemaker (Part 4)
He personally led Juventus to rise, but now he has a premonition that he is about to witness the decline of Juventus.
The Champions League obsession is the fundamental reason Juventus has come to this point.
The reluctance to let go of veteran players and the suppression of the younger generation leading to a gap are the main reasons.
And... the direct reasons are Juventus renewing Ancelotti on a high salary and signing Kolber at a high price after missing out on Manzuyovich.
But within these direct reasons, Lu Yang’s shadow is clearly everywhere.
This person climbed up step by step from the Italian D Division and Third Division, and when he just entered Serie A, Serie A was in chaos.
Is this... really just a coincidence?
At least Maniero does not agree with this statement.
Times create heroes, heroes create times!
The heroes of Serie A are rising, the twilight of the gods, but there must be a new god who can absorb the essence of the many older generations and shock the world!
This year, who will be the god that Serie A breeds?
"You’re plotting against Juventus like this, don’t you consider my feelings?" Maniero looked at Lu Yang beside him. Back in the day, he was one of the most dazzling stars in Juventus’ star-studded lineup.
"Hahaha, you’d be happy if I turned Juventus upside down, wouldn’t you?" Lu Yang laughed, "When you were at Juventus, they didn’t achieve a five-league championship streak either!"
"Moreover, looking at several actions against San Remo, their current top management doesn’t seem to have much connection with you. After all, you are a potential head coach for Juventus, the current head coach and those behind them may not necessarily welcome you."
Lu Yang saw through it and pointed it out.
Only then did Maniero smile slightly: "Your trick of driving a tiger to swallow a wolf made Inter lose a strong general, and they didn’t even recover the funds. Atletico Madrid snatched away Juventus’ main central forward and supplemented with an uncertain newcomer."
"Not to mention weakened strength, the high transfer fees and salaries will further strain Juventus’ salary system. Probably mid-season, other players at Juventus who need contract discussions will start acting up again."
"Additionally, several other teams have also started to strengthen their squads, breaking the gap between the first and second tier teams in Serie A. Next season, there might be... no fewer than six or seven teams qualified to compete for the Serie A championship!"
As Maniero spoke, Martivini was simply stunned beside him.
Damn... so what does this mean?
Does San Remo really intend to take advantage of the chaos... to give it a try?
"Being targeted by Juventus is still very uncomfortable, even Rome two seasons ago and Florence last season were always just a bit short, let alone us, San Remo." Lu Yang laughed, "So I hope there are more teams that can challenge Juventus."
Lu Yang neither admitted nor denied.
Serie A and Serie B are too different.
The tiger prestige of the world’s number one league is still there.
Many giants are also strengthening.
This kind of competition cannot be compared to Serie B. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Moreover, the league is different from the cup competition, once you get past the group stage, you only play a few games? Three or five games!
If you’re lucky, you can really progress all the way.
For example, this season’s San Remo.
But in the league, after thirty-eight games back and forth, who is strong and who is weak, even if there is an occasional upset, it can’t happen all the time, right?
So the league champion is often extremely dominant.
It’s rare for someone who isn’t top-class in the league to win the championship.
Unless... you encounter a chaotic era!
The fierce struggle of the powerful teams allows some teams to steal the chicken!
"But you know, with this setup, I’m actually more interested in next season’s Serie A." Martivini discovered the highlight, "There’s so much hype this year, I believe the viewership for the new season won’t be too bad."
"Alright, let’s talk about the European Cup squad issues now."
Martivini steered the conversation to a serious topic.
Transfer dynamics are club battles.
But this year in Italy, there’s also a super battle to be fought.
Which is the upcoming European Cup finals in France!
To conquer Europe, who can be the king?
France’s dream of winning the championship on home soil is the main theme.
England, Germany, and Spain all have their own opportunities to win.
The goal of the Italy National Team this time is not high... Can they end the national team’s ridiculous fate of failing to make it out of the group stage in consecutive tournaments?
Maniero looked at Lu Yang’s arm, meaning, young man, can you fight now?
Lu Yang suddenly slammed his left hand on the table.
In an instant, white dust rose, plaster shattered!
Beneath the plaster fragments, the palm is like white jade and the bone like a knife!
A soldier is nurtured for a thousand days for one battle!
How can Lu Mou not fight!
