I AM the Football Star

Chapter 681 175: As a Player, Never Get Involved with Real Madrid or Barça!

For example, ten Lu Yangs!

That's very comforting!

But if you get ten Bai Zhamis, to be honest, Morici will collapse.

As players improve, their personal style becomes progressively stronger, and the teams, tactics, and teammates they are best suited for will emerge one by one.

Many cases that seem like dreams of Real Madrid, Barça dreams, or refusing to go to any team but a certain one do have instances where players are blinded by fame and money.

But there are also cases where players precisely understand their positioning and know where they can shine the brightest.

Morici became curious and had a desire to explore distant Barcelona because of this positional play style.

Morici's best friend is Lu Yang, undoubtedly.

So, after having this thought, Morici hesitated for a while and still chose to confide in Lu Yang.

This is true trust!

"Lu, I..." Morici feels very uneasy, even though they haven't parted ways yet. But when the thought of considering other teams enters his heart, he feels like he is betraying Lu Yang.

"Are you crazy? Where else could you possibly go but Barça?" However, Lu Yang wasn't angry and instead focused on helping future Morici choose a good place, saying, "Barcelona is different from other teams, very difficult to integrate into, especially since they already have chemistry!"

"This is no longer the era where one player stays with one team forever; San Remo and we both have our paths to follow. It's normal, and everyone will understand well."

"I believe when we leave, San Remo won't shed tears, and San Remo fans won't feel regretful or sad. But... we can't squander the high hopes they placed on us; we must choose a reliable next stop for ourselves!"

"Morici, your playing style is indeed best suited to Barça. You considered tactics but didn't consider people! When you go to Barça, what position will you play? Or, whose position will you take?"

"You will certainly need to participate in their core playstyle and become one of the cores. But regarding the relationships and chemistry between the core players of Barcelona... who do you think you can replace?"

"Even if you fully master all tactics and positioning, you still can't achieve critical hits with them. Moreover, if they decide to act against you even once, you can forget about making a name for yourself at Barça."

Acting, not necessarily with malice.

Sometimes, when you're with friends, you just want to move more, give more, try more.

With others, you're just an ordinary colleague, not seeking achievements or failures; this isn't acting, yet it is also acting.

It's human nature, not something that can be denied simply with professional conduct.

"Your next destination definitely can't be Barcelona; it will delay your career," Lu Yang said firmly. "It's an excellent team, but any external star going there won't end well."

"You should look to the Premier League; there are teams there that can achieve beautiful cooperation and play beautiful attacks."

Morici suddenly understood: "Are you talking about Arsenal?"

Lu Yang nodded.

We, Arsenal, are invincible!

Momo looked suspiciously: "You didn't secretly take commission from Mr. Winter, did you?"

Lu Yang laughed: "I just don't want you to become the next Raphael!"

Morici frowned.

Rafael Vante, the first player ever to win the Golden Boy Award.

The Eredivisie's once unparalleled superstar.

According to predictions back then, he should have dominated world football by now, at least dominating either La Liga or the Premier League.

But... After roaming through the Premier League and La Liga, he returned to the Eredivisie, even about to lose his dominance there!

His life trajectory took a significant turn after going to Barcelona.

Before going to Barcelona, he was extremely popular, even more sought after than the current Enriquez and Mancini.

Because he could not only be a front-line player but also an attacking core and even a midfield core, he was omnipresent.

But he struggled a lot during his three seasons at Barcelona.

At that time, the Argentine Emperor was just emerging, but the local team was already quite mature, and Vante never integrated into the team due to unintended "exclusion" from the locals.

Starting from the second season, he entered the ranks of substitutes, and the third season didn't give him much playing time.

He went from being a top star to an ordinary star.

When Barça tried to sell him, none of the big clubs were willing to pay over 15 million euros for him.

He depreciated!

Later, Vante joined his hometown team Ajax, helping them achieve revival in the Eredivisie.

But as several injuries occurred, his form continued to decline, losing much of his explosive power, withdrawing from the front-line ranks, and losing his dominance in the game.

Yes, Ajax!

San Remo Europa League's next opponent, Ajax!

Lessons from predecessors, guidance for successors.

The former Vante was far more dazzling than Morici is now.

Morici began to carefully consider these things that Lu Yang had just mentioned.

"What about you? Which team will you go to in the future?" Morici was also curious about Lu Yang's choice. It was a consensus that Lu Yang would not stay at San Remo forever.

The quotes in this season's winter window have already been overwhelming; what about the summer window?

A few years later, even if Lu Yang were willing to stay, the fans might hope for him to leave.

After all... How could fans who truly love a star bear to see him not receive due honors during his peak, wandering in old age, yet being despised by those people?
