I think anyone on the team would welcome his arrival!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Russell felt delighted inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott is the new sports director he found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from handling sports matters, he even considers some economic issues for Russell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Need more Lu Yangs and Moricis\" is the slogan Scott proposed, which quickly won Russell’s favor and trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Russell remembers his agreement with Sotu to give Sotu the maximum authority in recruitment, and he would provide funding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sotu is too frugal with spending, making Russell even doubt if Sotu is used to being poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to tell Sotu, even if you want a Serie A star, I can find a way to buy one for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not an aging star like Latu Yidi, but one who still truly has peak combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, Sotu also had something he hadn’t told Russell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you really think the team’s future expenses will be small?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you really think a salary of two or three hundred thousand can keep Morici and Lu Yang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next season, if you’re not prepared to spend tens or hundreds of millions, will Arthas let you go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t joke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including goals, assists, championships, honor bonuses, etc., Lu Yang’s average salary in the next two years absolutely won’t be inferior to any Serie A star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this case, spending money really needs to be done sparingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the team smoothly enters Serie A, the recruitment issue won’t just be about three to five million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money needs to be spent on the blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these things, even if Sotu told Russell, Russell might not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s business philosophy for the team has already diverged somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Russell has already accepted Scott’s idea of \"cultivating more Lu Yangs and Moricis\" in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is willing to spend multiple millions on lottery tickets, but wouldn’t be willing to spend tens of millions on bringing in real strong players, feeling it’s not worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these outsiders don’t know how many lottery tickets it takes to get a player like Lu Yang or Morici.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a hundred might not yield one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sports Director Scott?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t know a thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the field, in the 86th minute of the whole match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like it would end in a draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again it was Camihong, as a left-back, overlapping with Bai Zhami at the bottom line, taking away a defender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhami, trained by Lu Yang, was still able to perform the basic overlap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Bai Zhami passed the ball to Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang took the ball at the flank, greatly increasing the threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his foot, making the opponent extremely nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Yang only performed a fake shot with a real breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cruyff Turn successfully evaded the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already the final moments, and the opponent didn’t overthink it, decisively fouling and pulling Lu Yang two meters outside the penalty box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yang’s acceleration was fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t completely pulled down by the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he managed to maintain his balance with one hand on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the opposing center-back came up to intercept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang used his hand as an axis, moved his feet rapidly on the ground, using his butt to block the opponent’s interception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This awkward action was not aesthetically pleasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it very forcefully blocked the opponent, and the effect was remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manual spin, the warrior in the realm of spins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a moment gained, Lu Yang suddenly exerted force in his legs, pushing himself to the side, then, during his fall, he kicked the football out with his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball nutmegged the defender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the incident happened suddenly, the opposing goalkeeper didn’t expect Lu Yang, who had just been facing away, to shoot, so he didn’t even attempt to save.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball hit the net, neither too fast nor too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>",847,"2026-06-06T13:45:08.170Z",1,"novelbin.me","28ec9f96b8091db3c7e65d476aa81dc443d579c612058b6428e76d25d3c24bcd","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-244","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-242",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
