"Manero is awesome!"
"Lu Yang is invincible! I knew Manero was right to bring Lu Yang this time. Lu Yang is a player who will never disappoint!"
"The Italian National Youth Team simply crushed their opponents in this game, from the first half to the second half, from offensive data to defensive data!"
"Think about it, Poland and England tied, and we beat Poland bloody, then in the last game of the group stage, our game against England, is it..."
"You are really bold, brother! How dare you even think of this?"
"According to your calculations, Spain should be able to win the second match between Spain and England in the second round of the group stage tomorrow."
"It makes sense. Maybe we will know the answer tomorrow. This is particularly important for our third game."
"There is a saying, every time Lu Yang is on the court, Moric performs exceptionally well. Before playing in Spain, he seemed to be invisible. This time playing in Poland, he is like a top midfield commander!"
"I've told you a long time ago that you must leave Lu. If you want to maximize Moliqi's ability, you have to go to Lu Yang."
"It's not just Moric. The Italian team has changed a lot this time. He has a close relationship with Lu Yang. Lu Yang almost makes up for the shortcomings of all the Italian national youth team players on the court."
"The only pity is that Lu Yang didn't score with his first shot. That damn goalpost! Otherwise Lu Yang would have scored a hat trick!"
"In my first game for the National Youth Team, I scored two goals and made one assist. These statistics are already gorgeous."
"Oh, it would be great if Lu Yang also played in the first game. At least we wouldn't lose so miserably."
This big victory changed the domestic reputation in Italy. No one dared to publicly insult and ridicule the Italian National Youth Team.
This is a very crude and realistic problem. If you want to avoid being scolded, it is actually very simple. Just win.
But it is such a simple truth that some associations just don’t understand. They have marketed their patriotic sentiments time and time again, fooled the fans time and time again, and kidnapped everyone morally, and they have not allowed everyone to ridicule or criticize them.
In this regard, we can only say that the quality and knowledge of today's fans are really getting higher and higher. Even the Football Association feels that there is an opportunity to suppress the angry voices of fans by using the navy.
All sorts of things like underestimating the enemy came up.
As for the current national football team, whose opponent is qualified to underestimate it?
Don’t you know where you position yourself?
You should be crazy about winning.
If you lose, stand at attention and prepare to be kicked.
How can there be so many people who are glorious despite defeat?
In competitive sports, weakness is the original sin. Why do you want to take the blame?
Back to business.
After the big victory, the players of the Italian National Youth Team finally received the praise they imagined.
What "Sogel breaks through himself and scores the first goal for the National Youth Team!"
"Ligue 1 supernova Ceballos redeemed himself. He shot twice from the same position and finally scored!"
"Fifteen million new star Ceballos has the most successful dribbles in the game!"
"Lazio right winger Pompeti is good at passing and shooting, and he has the most number of threatening attacks in this game!"
"The flying wing is finally free. Kanyes' cross is a great threat and he successfully received an assist!"
"Living up to his reputation as a golden midfielder, Moric took control of the overall situation and assisted Lu Yang to score a wonderful goal!"
"Two shots and one pass, he was awarded the best player of the game. As soon as Lu Yang came out of the mountain, the melancholy sky of blue Italy lit up!"
"The eastern sun lights up Italy's blue coast, giving Italy a glimmer of hope of qualifying!"
"The most handsome scorpion swings his tail, and Lu Yang, the first unconventional shooter, makes another great effort!"
"The King of Long Shots is back, Italian artillery blasts the Polish city gates to pieces!"
On the other side, Poland, although they lost miserably in this game, the Poles knew clearly that they had to cheer for their national youth team.
After all, the Polish team's last group match opponent was Spain, which currently looks the strongest.
The Poles cannot afford to be discouraged at this time.
Therefore, their media is also vigorously promoting topics such as "If you lose, you don't lose. Pałowski leads the European Youth Championship scorer with three goals!" and other topics, which can be regarded as diverting the attention of Poland's players who did not perform well in this game. .
The next day, the second match of the second round of each group kicked off.
The game that has attracted the most attention in this round is undoubtedly Spain VS England.
This battle will almost determine who will be the final team to advance from Group A.
And the result is also very surprising.
The Spanish Matadors, who defeated the blue Italy in the first game, were defeated by the Three Cats, oh no, the Three Lions, and were defeated by England 2-1!
Before the game started, everyone thought that Spain actually had a greater chance of winning.
After all, the England team was tied by Poland in the first round, which has proved that they seem to be in poor condition this tournament.
But not long after the game started, Spain was beaten by England.
Mancini, the first star of the England National Youth Team, passed two people and scored a wonderful goal. This is also his third goal in this European Youth Championship, and he is tied with Pawlowski for the top scorer list.
The second half, about sixty minutes.
The Spanish team seemed to have finally recovered. Enriques performed a good show of running in the midfield. He penetrated the Three Lions' defense by himself. Finally, after seducing the England goalkeeper to attack, he passed the football diagonally to his teammates.
A teammate scored a nanny goal, the kind that grandma can score even if she comes.
Spain equalized the score one to one.
However, the English were really crazy. In the 90th minute, they got a corner kick opportunity. England midfield substitute Jesse Raheem shot randomly in the crowd, beating Spain and becoming England's hero.
This Manchester United youth trainee is currently playing for rivals Manchester City in the same city. He is a substitute player in Manchester City's first team. However, he did not perform well last season. I don't know if he will have a chance to prove himself next season.
But at least he won some opportunities for himself in the European Youth Championship.
At this point, the pattern of Group A has changed.
England lead the group with four points.
Both Spain and Italy have three points, but Spain ranks second in the group due to the relationship between wins and losses.
The Italian group is third.
Poland has one point, fourth in the group, and basically has no chance of qualifying.
No matter what the result of the final group match is, the Polish team will not be able to become the first team in the group.
And even if they win, get four points, and rank second in the group, the second place in the group with a total score of four points will definitely not be the second place in the group with the best results among the three groups.
So the Polish team has already been eliminated early.
The other three teams in Group A still have a chance to compete for first place in the group.
England, in particular, have taken the initiative.
As long as they beat Italy in the next game, they will surely qualify.
As for Spain, they have to ensure victory in the next game, and at the same time, they have to hope that England does not win.
As for Italy, they have to win if Spain draws, or draw if Spain loses, in order to become first in the group.
The probability of these two situations in the current major handicaps is extremely low, adding up to no more than 10%.
This is a bit difficult for Italian fans to accept.
…
Because the Italian National Youth Team has become the opponent of the England National Youth Team, and the next game is particularly important. The English media, contrary to their usual habit of supporting Lu Yang and the Italian team, began to criticize the Italian National Youth Team.
They want to build momentum for the England team through public opinion means.
This is also the biggest advantage of the England team in every international competition.
They have the most outstanding football voice channel and public opinion support in the world.
"Preview of the Italian-British war, this will be a confrontational battle!" 》
"The most powerful firepower in Europe!" England's striker trident is worth as much as 75 million! The midfielder is worth over 100 million euros! 》
"The strongest offensive lineup!" Even England's substitute midfielder Jesse Raheem is a first-team player for the Premier League team! 》
"Two of the four best players in Italy are players in lower leagues! 》
"The total value of midfield and frontcourt players does not exceed 35 million. Why should Italy compete with England?" 》
News after news, murderous and heartbreaking.
If Italian players read this kind of news a few more times, they might even lose their confidence when playing football.
What is particularly worth mentioning is that the English football media even did not hesitate to ridicule their own domestic music media for this.
Because in this year's newly announced shortlist for the "British Music Awards", Lu Yang suddenly appeared in it, and more than once!
"Versatile in both civil and military affairs!" Italian national youth team star Lu Yang has been nominated for two major Brit Awards! 》
"Kick a ball!" The eighteen-year-old boy may have the most sparkling coming-of-age celebration! He might be on the podium at the BRIT Awards on his birthday! 》
"The nominee for Best Male Vocalist at the BRIT Awards is actually a Serie B football player! 》
“Is he talented or is he squandering God’s gift? Football or music, how should this eighteen-year-old choose? 》
"One step to heaven, one step to hell!" Does the singer-songwriter nominated for Best Single at the BRIT Awards still want to play football? 》
As one of the most authoritative music awards and ceremonies in Europe, the BRIT Awards are very popular and valuable in Europe.
This year, a song called "The Shape of Heart" swept across Europe and directly dominated the music charts in many countries on the European continent for two or three months.
Coupled with its elegant melody and restrained lyrical meaning, if a song like this cannot be admitted to the Brit Awards, then the award will lose its due authority and fairness.
Therefore, even in the current "national war", Lu Yang deserves a lot of nominations.
This should have been a good opportunity for the Italian media to gain the upper hand in public opinion. After all, their players are so good, they are versatile and can excel at every skill.
But who makes the English media more awesome?
They quickly posted the title "Warm congratulations to Lu Yang for winning two major Brit Awards on his birthday."
Lu Yang's birthday is July 25th.
And July 24th is the final round of the European Youth Championship group stage, Italy VS England.
July 26th is the day of the first round of the European Youth Championship semi-finals.
Then the question arises, under what circumstances will Lu Yang be able to participate in the All England Concert on the 25th?
Naturally, this is the case when Italy failed to make it out of the group stage.
This is undoubtedly the curse of the English press.
Moreover, it was a curse disguised as a blessing, which made the Italian media uncomfortable for a while.
It's impossible for them to deny their players' achievements in other fields, right?
Lu Yang's songs are very good, this is something that people all over Europe know, but unexpectedly at this juncture, it has become the most important factor affecting the morale of the Italian National Youth Team.
No wonder people often say that your strongest time is also your weakest time.
This nomination came at a really bad time.
Later that day, Lu Yang and Sofia got in touch. After the two communicated, Sofia responded to the BRIT nomination and invitation on behalf of Lu Yang.
The lights flickered, and Sophia showed no stage fright in the face of dozens of reporters. She smiled and was very decent: "Thank you everyone for paying attention to Lu Yang. He has accepted the praise from the English media and is grateful for it."
"He is currently preparing for the next game and it is not convenient for him to be distracted for other reasons, so I held this press conference on his behalf. I will convey some of Lu Yang's thoughts."
"First, Lu Yang loves football more than music. He doesn't mind trying more in the offseason, but if there are official football games, then all activities will make way for the game, and he will not be distracted by anything else. Heart."
The media in the audience all smiled vaguely. They knew what Lu Yang wanted to express, but could Lu Yang not be distracted?
The impact has been made, hasn't it?
Otherwise, how did today's press conference come about?
"Second, Lu Yang is sure. No matter what the schedule of the European Youth Championship is, he will not appear at the Brit Awards on July 25th." Sofia said firmly, finally giving what the Italian media wanted. The answer is.
Never bow your head!
In fact, by exposing Lu Yang's music award nomination at such a critical moment, on the one hand, the English media wanted to disrupt the morale of the Italian National Youth Team.
But on the other hand, there is actually a deeper hint that deliberately guides people to make associations.
Did Lu Yang perform poorly against England in the European Youth Championship, so the Brit Awards will give him a real trophy instead of just a nomination?
No one at the BRIT Awards has ever said that, but the association won't stop.
Therefore, the Italian media hope to hear a firm reply from Lu Yang, rather than an ambiguous response that flatters both sides and does not indicate his attitude.
At this critical period, the latter is already a betrayal to the public.
This is just like how after every incident in China where some celebrities speak out and insult women, they are obviously interested parties but insist on pretending not to speak out and pretending not to see it. It is disappointing.
"Third, instead of being so enthusiastic about inviting Lu Yang to attend the Brit Awards, the British media should focus more on their own youth. For example, they could consider inviting players from the England National Youth Team to participate in activities." Sophia said, "After all, I heard that all the players in the England National Youth Team are England stars."
"Their arrival will definitely bring a frenzy of attention to the BRIT Awards!"
After Sophia finished speaking, her smile remained.
But the media in the audience already let out a gasp.
What does this mean?
Just like the British media hopes that Lu Yang will appear at the Brit Awards, because it means that the Italian team will be eliminated in the group stage.
In the same way, what Sofia just said was telling everyone that Lu Yang hopes that the England team will be eliminated in the group stage.
Considering that England is currently at the top of the standings of Team A, this is almost straightforward to tell everyone that Italy will definitely compete for victory in the next game and will definitely beat England!
Not to mention the English media, even the Italian media workers present were a little embarrassed and ashamed of such a level of talk.
Although they are awesome, they are the England National Youth Team!
The value of the midfield and frontcourt players alone exceeds 100 million euros. Players in almost every position are star players. Most of the players play in the five major leagues and are either the main force or the rotation of wealthy clubs.
It can be said that before the game against the England National Youth Team, there was no one on the planet who dared to say that they would be able to beat them.
Even Spain, the second seed this time, would not dare to say such a thing.
Fortunately Spain didn't say that, because they even lost to England.
What's more, Italy was once the lowest team in this European Youth Championship!
"Sofia, is this Lu Yang's provocation against the England National Youth Team?" Some English media outlets were indignant and took the initiative to ask.
Sophia is charming and full of confidence: "It can't be said to be provocative..."
"Then how dare he say that? I think you need to explain clearly, otherwise it will be easy for people to mistakenly think that Lu Yang is an arrogant young man who doesn't understand football!" The reporter was very angry.
Sofia nodded and imitated Lu Yang's tone: "Sofia, don't worry, it's just England. Their defense is not as strong as everyone thinks, at least not much better than Poland!"
"I feel like I'm in good shape. I won't score fewer goals in the next game than when I played against Poland. I promise! We have a great chance of winning!"
Then, Sofia commented: "In fact, I think it is more accurate to say contempt than provocation. Yes, that's what our Lu Yang said, he is going to beat the England team!"
"Of course, this is not because Lu has any grudge against England. This is just a small contribution he made to the BRIT Awards. By the way, remember to send invitations to the players of the England National Youth Team for the BRIT Awards. "
The press conference is over.
The European media exploded instantly.
Listen, what the hell did that boy say?
He actually said he was going to beat England in the next game?
Does he think England's defense is similar to Poland's? In other words, the Italian team is going to score four goals against England in the next game?
Better than Spain and scored three goals against Italy, but what about facing England?
It’s just one shot!
Who does Lu Yang think he is?
Did he think he was in the Italian football team that was on top of the world more than a decade ago?
He is now in the Italian National Youth Team, a fake football powerhouse!
Great chance of winning?
You call one-tenth a big chance of winning?
So England's eight out of ten chance of winning is very small?
The English are gearing up one by one and really hope that the last group stage match will start soon.
In this way, they can shut up that rampant oriental boy.
In this way, the Italy VS England European Youth Championship, which originally attracted a lot of attention, attracted more people.
Originally, everyone paid attention to it because everyone wanted to know who could appear in England or Spain.
After all, only the first place in each group will definitely qualify.
But now, everyone is really looking forward to the Italian National Youth Team, which they have been talking wildly about.
Lu Yang is known as Italy's face-slapping player.
Because when he was playing in Serie D, Serie C and even the Italian Cup, he slapped people who were not optimistic about them several times.
Among them, there are even powerful teams like Roma and AC Milan.
But no matter what, this is just in Italy.
Although match-fixing is not rampant in Italy, or each league has a certain number of tacit matches, the reputation of "unintentional match-fixing" has spread, and most fans feel that Italian football matches have more room for artificial manipulation.
So maybe the miracle created by Lu Yang, the legendary launch of Sanremo, was also manipulated?
At least that's what the English media wants to think, and that's how it's spread.
And almost none of the major mainstream media believed that the Italian National Youth Team could win.
Many neutral media have adopted the slogan "a draw is a victory."
There is no doubt that these media are from Spain, because if England is tied by Italy, then Spain itself will have the initiative to take the first place in Group A.
The feeling of deciding your own destiny is undoubtedly the best.
…
July 24th, the day before Lu Yang’s birthday.
The first game of the final round of the European Youth Championship group stage is about to begin.
After the players got off the bus, Lu Yang accepted a brief interview with China Television's "Super Football".
These clips will be shown later in the documentary.
The reason why we are interviewing now is because CTV also feels that this battle is not optimistic.
If this battle is lost, then CTV's recording will be over, and they will naturally want to collect more material.
This will affect the player's status to a certain extent.
But Lu Yang doesn't mind, it even helps him improve his condition. He is a typical big-game player who can withstand pressure.
Therefore, only Lu Yang from the Italian National Youth Team went to be interviewed without anyone noticing.
Tang Yuqin: "Lu Yang, are you nervous now? Because there have been many voices questioning you from the outside world."
Lu Yang: "It's not about being nervous."
After all, there is also a Messi time card and a time package, Lu Yang is confident.
Of course, temperament cannot be faked.
Once you have confidence, people's potential is often stimulated inadvertently, and many times difficulties can be overcome without any trump cards.
In addition, the team will face many challenges next season, so Lu Yang plans to save a wave of time cards.
"It's normal to question, because it means that your excellence is beyond the acceptance of ordinary people." Lu Yang said, "Just like most young people who suffer from mental illnesses, excluding congenital and genetic factors, people with depression, Anxiety disorders are often evidence of what they are struggling with.”
“Because the state of hard work is contrary to the relaxed and joyful state that humans naturally yearn for, it will only be a matter of time before problems arise in the long run.”
"Just like my opponents, it's only a matter of time before they question me or fear me."
Tang Yuqin had contact with Lu Yang, but she assured that the Lu Yang in private was completely different from the Lu Yang who talked about football and the Lu Yang who was preparing for games.
It is said that a girlfriend who often changes her look is equal to many girlfriends.
So if such a changeable Lu Yang becomes a boyfriend, does that mean he has many boyfriends?
Tang Yuqin suddenly understood. Is this Sophia's happiness?
