You are the undisputed leader of San Remo. This is the team’s gift to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang looked at the car key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he had never driven such a good car in his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he doesn’t own one in this life either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps with installment payments, it might be affordable, but the frugal Lu Yang is currently more accustomed to riding in Morici’s small car worth no more than Thirty thousand euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Lu Yang is only seventeen and can’t even get a driver’s license.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas the little guy has already turned eighteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is due to the team’s efforts.\" Lu Yang looked at Russell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, everyone on the team will receive a bonus.\" Russell indicated that Lu need not worry about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang smiled, walked to Russell, and put the car key on the hood: \"Thank you for your kind gesture, but I personally have never been accustomed to accepting gifts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell was stunned, then seemed to understand, nodding: \"Alright, I won’t insist. But this summer, the team will offer a contract that will absolutely satisfy you! Absolutely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not liking gifts doesn’t mean he doesn’t like the things being gifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s because they don’t like the essence of gifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because gifting is essentially eating at someone else’s discretion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others give it if they want, and don’t if they don’t want to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly talented individuals never accept gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They earn everything they want with their abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who dare to refuse high-value gifts, they often possess extreme self-confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a wonderful characteristic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some may think that this behavior of throwing money out of one’s pocket is foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it also reflects their high standards and strict demands on themselves, which spurs them to keep pushing forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What motivates players to keep moving forward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then once they’ve made enough, they will start to fall into decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it beauty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then as soon as many models flock to a player, he becomes further removed from the pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it fame?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then after several interviews with major media outlets, appearing in some variety shows, and guest-starring in a few movies, their hearts become lazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only obsessive self-esteem can drive them to never stop on a certain path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such players, apart from injuries, you never have to worry about them going into a slump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even injuries won’t stop their progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Lu Yang refused the Ferrari, Russell was determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This summer, San Remo will make all of Italian Football aware of Lu Yang’s value to the team, and make sure San Remo’s respect for Lu Yang is known!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also to compensate for the series of troubles brought by Becher’s during the winter transfer window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell opened his arms, indicating a hug with Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang accepted the hug, not excessively blaming Russell. A team chairman offering gifts to apologize and willing to propose a big contract in the summer—what more could he ask for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone makes mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Russell’s intention was indeed to make the team better, not to replace himself. Russell’s actions are fundamentally different from Bartomeu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Ferrari, rather than a reward for leading the team to the top eight of the cup, serves as a subtle apology from Russell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Lu Yang did not expect was, during the hug, Russell whispered to Lu Yang: \"Sorry, Lu, this time I acted on good intentions but did the wrong thing. I was wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence may seem brief, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember what kind of wealth Russell has!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s a top European tycoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting someone like him to say sorry face-to-face is extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is not the type of shameless internet entrepreneur who can kneel and bow for attention and assemble a full package of stunts in no time. Becoming a friend and losing out to become the richest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is an industrialist with relatively high status who enjoys a certain reputation in both the European capital circle and the socialite circle. He has his own aristocratic pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, being able to bow before Lu Yang indicates that Russell really likes football and values Lu Yang highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s alright, actually you didn’t do anything wrong.\" Lu Yang didn’t hold a grudge against Russell. In fact, both of their goals are the same, leading San Remo to a higher stage, \"You just don’t know how great we will be in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell felt a chill, yet filled with happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Lu Yang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A player whose dreams are always above the sky but who always performs beyond his ambitions on the pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His future is destined to change football and become a legend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russell is utterly convinced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding! You won an incredible victory, you earned a silver random gift pack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silver random gift pack, only produces superstar items and above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding! You acquired the Superstar Skill, Batigoal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Batigoal, there are two types of goals in the world. One is called a world-class goal, and the other is called Batigoal! Your long-range shots will receive significant enhancements, shooting angles, shooting power, especially right-foot shots will become finely honed. Your quick-stop shots during high-speed runs and your shooting in confrontations will also improve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1003,"2026-06-06T13:45:08.170Z",1,"novelbin.me","75ab73cf98fc9c8958fff1e4987a32a2fa8cd64fff24f1fbfbc3dfe0d282f8a1","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-83","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-82",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
