I AM the Football Star-Chapter 563 - 151: Who Approves, Who Opposes?

But you can’t assume that the decisions in this match were influenced by financial factors.

This is something UEFA absolutely cannot tolerate.

No matter whether the main referee has off-field black gold dealings or not, that’s not something a head coach should worry about or bring up. These matters are more appropriate for your country’s federation president to discuss.

Do you understand a business worth several billion dollars?

As long as the head coach doesn’t mention it, the players don’t bring it up, the media doesn’t deliberately report, the fans won’t pay attention to this part of the content, and these things belonging to the other side of football will clearly exist, yet seem like they don’t.

But once certain coaches and players frequently mention this, the pressure on UEFA and FIFA becomes very significant.

Because they know how dirty they are.

One generation of famous coach, Magic Bird, was severely educated by UEFA on this issue, and only after going to Rome did he learn to speak as little as possible on this topic.

What Sotu just said was definitely an emotional outburst, San Remo will appeal, but surely won’t dare to question the main referee too much.

However... just as Sotu was about to explain, Lu Yang, who also attended the post-match press conference, firmly pressed Sotu down.

He moved the microphone from Sotu’s side to his own and spoke into it: "That’s right!"

There was immediate commotion below.

"You heard correctly." Lu Yang reiterated, "San Remo will appeal against the many unfair decisions in this match. At the same time, we will also accuse the main referee and his officiating team in this match!"

"I don’t care whether it’s a matter of his capability or if he truly has other issues, but over this matter, UEFA must give San Remo an explanation!"

"We are participating in the Europa League, which is a super-high standard cup tournament second only to the Champions League in Europe. The playoffs are one thing, but the group stage is already the main event, and for such important matches to have referees of this level, UEFA should openly apologize to all teams participating in the UEFA Europa League!"

"Otherwise, San Remo might even choose to take legal action against this referee!"

Boom!

If Lu Yang’s overhead kick silenced more than fifty thousand fans on the pitch.

Then at this moment, the things Lu Yang said in front of the reporters were enough to silence most of European football!

Accuse a UEFA referee?

Isn’t this practically accusing the UEFA Refereeing Committee?

Still want UEFA to apologize to all teams?

Are you asking the father to apologize to his sons?

Is it possible?

No need to wait till the next day.

That evening, this press conference overshadowed all news, appearing on the front pages of major football media outlets!

Bild: Misfortune from the mouth of the youngest hat-trick creator in UEFA Europa League?

The Times: Three overhead kicks! Glamorous hero over La Liga twins suing UEFA?

Manchester Evening News: Eastern Giant Dragon’s lineage awakens! A player tougher than Englishmen!

The Sun Newspaper: Before heading to Zenit, Lu Yang once parked his sports car roadside for an hour—Sofia was in the car too!

Such news spread globally.

A young player from Serie B openly challenges UEFA, threatens UEFA to apologize to all teams participating in the Europa League, and demands strict scrutiny and examination of its referees.

This is no longer football news; this is fantasy news!

No one dared to do this, at least... no one dared before.

No one knows what Lu Yang is thinking.

Including Sotu, who initially made these demands.

...

"Um... Lu, our... isn’t it... kind of..." Sotu looked constipated.

The butcher of the pitch swore he’d never looked so awful in his life.

Because he was genuinely worried about the consequences of this incident.

Sotu’s initial spur-of-the-moment outrage could have been ignored, perhaps leading to a few extra suspensions from UEFA.

But then Lu Yang solidified the issue, leaving Sotu without a way back.

Sure, Sotu is already wildly successful in his life, even if UEFA completely bans him, he can still coach outside Europe.

Even if he can’t be a head coach, Sotu has countless options; he has endless paths in life.

But Lu Yang is different.

Lu Yang is still young and hasn’t achieved fame and status yet.

If UEFA bans Lu Yang, his life will be ruined! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

No one can match UEFA; that’s for sure.

Even if twelve top world football clubs join forces, it wouldn’t be enough.

At least not before 2022.

Especially for a small-time Lu Yang?

Honestly, Sotu is now afraid UEFA might hire a few terrorists to blow up their plane.

This is, of course, speaking in jest, but that’s the sentiment.

Lu Yang is in big trouble!
