I do not think he will become a Serie A level star. If your recruitment target is this, you should look for someone else,\" Sotu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you kidding me?\" Scott said, \"He has already scored sixteen goals this season; he’s more efficient than the Serie A star Inzitens of the same type! Sotu, you should view Becher’s fairly, even though he might be a bit pricey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sotu nearly coughed up blood in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you heard of goal-scoring expectation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I unjust?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I unprofessional?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I lifted the World Cup for Italy, who were you basking in the glory of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whose blood-soaked buns were you eating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What shameless money were you making?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such advanced professional knowledge, Sotu, Maniero, Lu Yang, and others have not yet organized into a complete theory, so it’s inconvenient to propose recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Sotu does not want Scott to know about such core technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, but the locker room dynamics is something we cannot ignore,\" Sotu solemnly raised the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re overthinking it. Becher’s will not become the team’s captain; he will show Rondo enough respect,\" Scott replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you freaking kidding me? Who doesn’t know that the locker room leader of San Remo is Lu?\" Sotu was very angry, knowing that Scott was clearly playing with words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Then I trust that Lu won’t be so petty; as a leader, he should understand how to accommodate new teammates,\" Scott changed his tune, making it sound reasonable in any way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, if any issues arise along these lines, I hope you can resolve them yourselves without bothering me!\" Sotu glanced at Russell, then turned around and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was furious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell’s silence itself was a statement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell had already been brainwashed by Scott, like a naive girl falling into a scumbag’s trap, unable to be pulled out despite others’ persuasion; only when she realizes she’s been tricked can you help wake her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, the losses suffered are the price this girl has to pay for her growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s an unsolvable problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Russell, I’ve never seen a player more outstanding than Lu, a miracle beyond understanding. There’s always someone who tries to measure a genius with ordinary perspectives, not realizing that genius cannot be fully comprehended. Regardless of who you wish to bring in, I have only one request: do not let Lu be heartbroken, or we will regret it for a lifetime,\" Tom likewise turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Russell were old friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t underestimate Old Tom as just an assistant coach; he genuinely loved football and contributed half his life to his hometown’s football.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tom’s son had long been asking him to travel the world, to stop being an assistant coach that caused him stress and high blood pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t lack money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tom had also built a business empire in his early years, handed it over to his capable son, and then immersed himself in football.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he be friends with someone like Russell, a real estate magnate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth is, circles exist everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The premise of most friendships is being in the same social class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell watched the backs of Sotu and Old Tom and said, \"Rest assured, I won’t harm Lu.
