Chapter 674 173: Lu Yang and Sofia Play Games Late at Night, Martivini Re-Elected_4

This news spread throughout Italy.

On March 31, San Remo did not disappoint everyone.

In the thirtieth round of the league, they defeated their opponents 4-0, taking another step closer to securing the championship early.

In this match, the energetic Lu Yang scored twice; no one knows how he spent this long holiday.

He is Ironman, after all!

In the last few days of Sofia's holiday, he was almost overwhelmed!

It was clear that Sofia had been holding back for too long and needed to be released.

She and Lu Yang might truly be made for each other.

A seamless match!

After recovering from injury, Sogel was back in form and also scored twice.

Morici provided two assists, and Belletti and Bernulin each gave an assist.

After this match, all the events of March came to a close.

After this, Martivini organized a friendly gathering.

The main purpose was to invite friends from his faction to drink and chat.

Because Martivini officially announced his successful re-election!

In the next four and a half years, he will continue to be the leader of the Italian Football Association.

He now has more time to realize his various ambitions.

Lu Yang, Sotu, and Mr. Russell were naturally among the invitees.

And people were often very surprised to see Lu Yang's presence.

Because, in terms of rank, players should not be at this kind of event.

Unless you are a super star of Italy, like Ancelotti or Carrel.

But Lu Yang clearly is not.

And those superstars did not express support or opposition to Martivini's inauguration.

Most of them are still focusing on playing football.

On the contrary, it's Lu Yang, this little soldier, who is somewhat "not doing his proper job."

This could be considered a leap in development.

Of course, Lu Yang knew he didn't need to prove anything at this kind of event.

He didn't need to flaunt himself and let everyone know how visionary this young man is.

He only needs to make the person who can really make decisions trust him.

And after the first banquet, a closer group of people stayed while others left voluntarily.

At this point, many people were even more surprised.

Because Lu Yang stayed and participated in Martivini's "internal personnel recognition and appreciation meeting."

Unquestionably, Martivini expressed his gratitude to this group of close collaborators.

Besides some valuable small gifts, there were also many business cooperations involved.

For instance, the Italian Football Association's standards for renovating many Italian clubs' youth training bases suggested major clubs consider excellent companies like Russell Construction.

Although the golden era of Italian football doesn't seem over, most Serie A stadium facilities were constructed in the last century, even dating back to the '60s and '70s.

These venues might have large capacities, but their functionality lags significantly behind the world's current top venues.

As for the youth training bases, they are even more outdated.

Therefore, during his tenure, pushing for the renovation of these stadiums and youth training bases is one of Martivini's major responsibilities.

This matter is not only beneficial to football.

It also involves substantial capital operations, worth billions or even more!

This is also why the position of the Italian Football Association president is so coveted.

Once the association sets the standards, every major club must plan for renovations.

When to renovate, which stadiums to coordinate with during renovations, and the choice of construction companies for renovations—all involve expertise and opportunities for profit.

Of course, these benefits have mostly been allocated in advance.

So, at this stage, everyone is celebrating having a bite to eat without the need to fight.

Even Lu Yang has received shares in a small design company.

This company will be involved in at least the renovation of five Serie A stadiums and the reconstruction of two stadiums. The shareholders need not worry about anything and can still gain substantial profits.

After the shareholder dividends and the conclusion of events, this company may dissolve or be acquired.

This is a one-time deal, essentially providing Lu Yang with a considerable amount of money in a legal and reasonable manner.
