I AM the Football Star

Chapter 952: Chapter 230: FIFA Virus, Just Wait for Me! (Part 2)

This is really too cruel.

To bid farewell right after celebrating, who can bear it?

The players can accept it, but the fans can’t.

Moreover, winning the European Cup proves the strength and cooperation of these players, making them top players in the current world football!

Without the strongest team, using a group of youngsters is hard to convince the public.

Of course, setting facts aside, from a purely macro perspective, a quick transition is actually best for Italy now.

Centered around Lu Yang, complemented by Morici, Sogel, Kolber, Canyes, Lam, Cortino, Pirola, Areola, Italy team’s next generation framework is quite complete.

Two years, fully training this batch of national team stars.

Although Italy team’s strength will hit rock bottom these two years, if the players perform well, during the next World Cup, they might not have championship competitiveness, but at least they can be considered officially formed, ready for testing.

If development goes well, four years later at the next European Cup, Italy might have championship competitiveness.

Immediate rebuilding, small success in two years, major success in four years, this is the fastest path to rise.

Of course, this approach is too aggressive and very difficult to operate.

Moreover, it’s too risky, the rebuilt Italy team will certainly be terribly weak, then... it’s hard to say if they can even qualify for the World Cup finals.

If they lose the World Cup qualification, Maniero might be fired immediately.

This is the biggest event in the football circle, missing it is like committing a crime.

So, Italy’s transition can only be plotted slowly.

This also means they might take four years to train the new team.

But the advantage is, Italy team won’t have a period of true weakness, they should have no problem qualifying for the World Cup finals.

Official announcement in the morning, match in the evening.

The second round of Serie A begins.

San Remo home game against Parma.

Today is also San Remo’s first use of their new four-star stadium in Serie A.

The stadium is named Miracle Stadium.

It’s said... only a three percent difference in voting, the stadium’s name wouldn’t be Miracle Stadium, but Lu Yang Stadium!

In the end, Lu Yang stepped up and voted for Miracle Stadium, swaying some fans, otherwise... he would become the first active player to have a stadium named after him.

If that name came out, it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Russell might cry in the bathroom any minute.

Last year, San Remo rented Makabaka Stadium.

Due to poor stadium conditions, San Remo made a series of promises back then.

This season, they fulfilled their promises.

Fans with last year’s season tickets get huge discounts on this year’s season tickets.

Ticket prices are cheaper than last year.

This is truly profitable!

Because last year San Remo played in Serie B, but this year they play in Serie A!

In the entire Serie A, few tickets are cheaper than those held by Makabaka season ticket holders.

New stadium, new Serie A team, Europa League champions, popular team, many football stars, occasional appearances of Sofia and her celebrity friends, San Remo has too many flow elements, ticket prices are leading in Serie A.

Only Juventus, Florence, Rome, Milan’s Twin Giants can compete with San Remo in ticket pricing.

Of course, San Remo didn’t completely squeeze the fans.

Their ticket pricing is quite diverse, with a series of local fan protection measures.

Local ID holders’ prices are halved, but they can only buy up to two tickets per match.

Most ticket prices in the stadium are leveled with teams like Juventus mentioned before, though some high-priced tickets have high premiums, but rich fans are always willing to pay.

Such high-class tickets are needed to get a watching experience, hm... ordinary fans are also part of the rich fans’ watching experience!

But San Remo also offers quite a large portion of tickets at very low prices, almost the lowest in Serie A!

This practice might hurt San Remo’s ticket revenues but won widespread praise.

Therefore, before this match began, all over fifty thousand tickets to Miracle Stadium were sold out!

The venue was packed.

Die-hard fans even prepared huge banners early, saying: Serie A, we are here!

The atmosphere was extremely intense.

For a while, visiting Parma players felt like they were in a devil’s home ground.

Every devil’s home ground is very intimidating.

Every devil’s home ground must have created miracles.

And San Remo didn’t let down the fans’ goodwill.

Seventeen minutes into the game, Talista successfully protected the football under a double team and passed it to the cutting Lu Yang while on the ground.

Lu Yang adjusted a step after receiving the ball and took a shot.

Robben Region!

Bang!

The football pierced into the net.

Scoring first for the team in consecutive games.

Lu Yang also became the first player to score at the new stadium for his team.

And Talista became the first player to assist for San Remo here.

For this, Morici was full of resentment.

In the fortieth minute, Morici made a cross from the right side at a forty-five-degree angle.

Talista made small movements affecting Parma’s central defenders, you know, tickling.

Bang!

Talista jumped and headed the football into Parma’s goal.

Parma’s central defender immediately complained.

He tickled me!
