I AM the Football Star

Chapter 351 - 104: Joint Lawsuit, Champion’s Light (10,000-Word - ) (Part 4)

"While conservative treatment may make Lu appear healthy in a month, if he engages in intense exercise, the injury will rebound and recur, and it might be more serious than his initial injury."

Dr. Xu’s judgment has been recognized by many peers in the medical community.

For a while, fans began to question why Lu Yang did not undergo surgery immediately, why he insisted on playing in the Italian Cup final?

After all, everyone knows that San Remo cannot defeat AC Milan.

Unless AC Milan reaches the Champions League final!

The Republican Newspaper expressed in a subsequent interview: "Perhaps the Italian Football Association played some role in this, young players always find it difficult to refuse the enticement or coercion of such powerful forces."

"Martivini’s greatest success this year was turning the Italian Cup into its current state. Now, the world has focused on the Italian Cup final."

"For this reason, Lu Yang cannot falter at the crucial moment. Even if his leg were broken, he must play this game! This is Martivini’s will, not Lu Yang’s!"

"I can’t imagine what kind of agreement Sotu, Maniero, Martivini, and Russell reached behind the scenes, but all this is unfair to Lu Yang. Even though they might have made promises to Lu Yang, I must tell Lu Yang, young man, you’ve been deceived by them! This path will ruin you!"

A single stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The Republican Newspaper never disappoints fans when stirring matters.

Although they seem to be speaking for Lu Yang throughout, lamenting for him, the last sentence exposes their stance.

They directly placed Lu Yang in the Martivini camp, pointed out that Lu Yang received certain promises, and cursed that Lu Yang would pay a huge price.

This article led many confused fans to "wake up to realization."

They believed it and took it as gospel, starting to attack San Remo and the Italian Football Association, denouncing Martivini.

The Republican Newspaper’s nature is evident.

But soon, San Remo reacted.

San Remo, along with Rome, Sampdoria, Chievo, Brescia, Benevento, and almost all teams they have faced in the Italian Cup, including AC Milan they are going to face, jointly sued the Republican Newspaper, demanding a public apology and acknowledgment of their mistake.

Because the Republican Newspaper used the word "manipulate" concerning the Italian Cup.

Obviously, this implies San Remo reached this stage through arrangements by the Italian Football Association, rather than their own strength.

This is a severe accusation against the Italian Football Association and the greatest insult to all the participants.

Ameluci: "I can accept a defeat, but I cannot accept the insult from the Republican Newspaper! The Red Wolf spirit, enduring and unwavering, every Roman is giving their all for the team."

"Losing to San Remo, we are very indignant, but they indeed won, fair and square, we should not speculate on anything post-factum."

"Is Lu Yang’s ability to save four penalties arranged by the Italian Football Association? Can my saves also be arranged? Can player goals be arranged?"

Drake: "I must remind everyone that up until the penalty shoot-out, there were no penalties in this match! The Republican Newspaper must explain their wording and publicly apologize!"

Balera: "This is a grave insult to Rome! We did lose, but we accept the gamble with grace, San Remo may not be stronger, but they have been honorable in every step of the Italian Cup!"

Talista: "The Italian Cup’s grandeur this year was played out, not manipulated. Because of this, it could attract the attention of European Football and even World Football."

"The Republican Newspaper is tarnishing Italian Football, if they can’t present solid evidence, they will pay a significant and grievous price for this! Because football must not be desecrated!"

Izalelt: "AC Milan reaching this stage has elements of surprise and luck, as well as our strength, but definitely no so-called manipulation! The Republican Newspaper should apologize immediately for their remarks!"

The other side of football beyond competition is revealing itself to everyone without reservation.

On the field, Lu Yang has beaten Rome decisively.

But off the field, the extensions from this match are still full of variables.

This wave of voices was particularly resounding, the Republican Newspaper secretly deleted their headlines from the website, but reality has memory, those printed papers cannot be deemed nonexistent.

Martivini is pressuring the Republican Newspaper, and within two days they will publicly apologize, they did misjudge the tone this time.

However, they are still not very honest, they obtained a report on Lu Yang’s injury through internal staff at the hospital where Lu Yang is situated.

Among them, there is a piece of information that seems to have little impact on Lu Yang currently, but once the Republican Newspaper released it, it attracted the attention of numerous elite clubs.

...

"Five million? Impossible, five million won’t buy Lu, double it and it might still be open for negotiation!" Mr. Winter is on a phone call with club chairman Kroenke.

If Arsenal had to label their greatest disaster ever in this lifetime.
