I AM the Football Star

Chapter 225 - 82: You Have Your Shamelessness, I Have My Fame and Fortune

"And it has a sense of mystery!"

"Suddenly, I feel Sofia is right, this song is way better than Kubo’s so-called rock party music."

"I’m very interested in Sofia’s movie because of this, this story absolutely intrigues me."

"Who sings this song? It’s amazing!"

"Wait a minute! The songwriter and performer of this song is the same person!"

Online, the praise for this song has skyrocketed.

The music circles are also buzzing.

How did such an impressive musician suddenly emerge out of nowhere?

Who is this "LU"?

It doesn’t seem like a standard name, more like a code.

Research shows people can only recognize things they already know.

So from the beginning and for several consecutive days, nobody thought this "LU" might be Chinese Pinyin.

Until Sofia herself held the final promotional event in Rome before her movie premiered, at the "The Invisible Guest" All Europe premiere!

This event had numerous participants, not only the movie’s leading actors but also many European celebrities, along with some former "close sisters" of Sofia.

Being the celebrated Kiss of Europa back then, Sofia naturally had her own circle of socialites.

It’s just that during her quiet years, most of her former "close sisters" disconnected from her and disappeared.

As a mature woman, Sofia wouldn’t naively and bluntly blacklist people or declare them as sworn enemies. When someone extends a friendly gesture, she still maintains contact with most of them.

But if they want to enter her list of genuine friends again, that’s impossible.

At the premiere, stars were gathered.

But the most fascinating scene happened with the mysterious gift Sofia prepared for everyone.

"Now, let’s welcome the not-so-famous musician LU to perform ’Shape of My Heart’ for us!" Sofia announced enthusiastically and stayed on stage.

A melody began.

Sofia danced to the music.

Everyone at the venue was entranced by the music until after the first three lines were sung, the not-so-famous musician slowly emerged from backstage.

At that moment, two spotlights hit the stage.

One fell on Sofia, who was dancing.

The other fell on the singer approaching.

They extended their arms towards each other, their fingertips drawing close, then separating.

This scene stirred whispers from many.

Even though it was just an artistic performance, the storyline was evidently tinged with some ambiguity.

After this performance, surely the media would focus on this male singer, sparking rumors of a romance between him and Sofia.

After all, the romance between Sofia and Lu Yang had already been circulating for over half a year; it was time for some fresh scoop.

But soon, everyone was stunned.

When they clearly saw the male singer’s face, their minds were filled with a roaring noise.

"The shape of my heart, And if I told you that I loved you..." Lu Yang sang calmly on stage, unworried because he was just doing this for fun.

When taking a free kick, penalty, or even a one-on-one shot, he’d be more nervous than he was now.

Of course, he was a player who performs better under pressure.

Boom!

The venue erupted with a buzz of chatter.

Even Lu Yang’s elegant and mysterious voice couldn’t overshadow the discussions from these people.

"My God! It’s Lu after all!"

"Oh my god!"

"Unbelievable!"

"So, he’s not just a player but also a musician?"

"A musician whose song topped the UK charts straightaway?"

"Wow, this is absurd! The achievements that professional musicians couldn’t reach in a lifetime, a football player achieved! What’s more, he’s just a player from a lower league.

"He’s only seventeen!"

"He shouldn’t be playing football! Honestly, he definitely shouldn’t be playing football! He’s a natural-born singer! If he focused on his music career, he could become a worldwide superstar!"

"I can’t believe my eyes and ears! I think he has more talent than that Canadian bad boy!"

"I guess I finally understand why Sofia fell head over heels for someone much younger than her — Lu, has many unknown and mysterious elements about him."

"He’s extremely talented yet never flaunts it. He’s incredibly strong yet only delivers heavy punches to his enemies. He possesses remarkable skills yet doesn’t care to show off!"

"Without a doubt, this is the typical East Asian personality! They’re always incredibly deep, and you never truly know how extraordinary they are! You only ever see the tip of their iceberg."

The explosion happened again!

This time, the entire Italian music industry went ablaze!

A month ago, they were fiercely criticized by the Italian Football Association because of this player named Lu Yang.

Some could see this was the Italian Football Association asserting its authority but couldn’t do anything about it.

Because they had justified reasons.

They held the moral high ground.

During this time, some people from the music industry did express their dislike for Lu Yang.

Not that they supported Kubo.

But because they supported the music industry.

They saw football’s "despicable" intentions and were unhappy about it.

But who could have anticipated that a month later, this "football spokesperson" would become the singer and creator of the current hottest song?

It’s simply too exaggerated.

"Shape of My Heart singer shows up at premiere, Sofia’s unique vision!"

"Shocked! The singer who topped the UK charts is actually a ball player?"
