If I had known earlier that Lu Yang was this amazing, I might have wished for an early retirement due to injury! But just this once, from now on, I hope I can fight alongside Lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Audi: \"I haven't played with Lu before, but I hope I can play with him often in the future, provided we're teammates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ameluci: \"I've said it many times, he's a kid who keeps creating miracles. Lu is omnipotent in my heart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiavich: \"Initially, Bernulin said Lu would become the soul of any team. I didn't believe it. But now, I even have a premonition that one day, his arm will bear the armband representing the captain of the Italy Team! That's something I never imagined before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Praxedes: \"Playing with Lu genuinely makes you a better person. He rebuilt my confidence. No matter the adversity, I will not give up! If I win any championships in my football career from now on, it will definitely be thanks to Lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sevajos: \"I envy Lu's ability to take the field. I hope one day I too can earn the right to stand beside him! He's always been so outstanding, the best young player in my heart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ancelotti, who had disputes on the field with Lu Yang and Morici.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the camera, Ancelotti smiled faintly and explained: \"We're all just trying to make Italy better. No one is at fault. We won't bear grudges; it's all for the best arrangement!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No 'ifs'! That free kick was taken by Lu. I don't know what the outcome would be if I took it, but I congratulate Lu for doing something remarkable! Italy's future might belong to them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancelotti got into the car and drove away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the car window rolled up, his smile suddenly vanished, and his face turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Italy's future must not belong to them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winning made Ancelotti very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... Lu Yang and Morici lack the most basic respect for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these two become the core of the future Italy Team, Ancelotti finds it unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancelotti isn't bad; he just happens to be on the opposing side of Lu Yang and Morici.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This makes things very difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep beep beep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancelotti's phone rang. He answered—it was the club executive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancelotti, what do you think of player Lu?\" the executive began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancelotti frowned: \"Do you want the truth or a lie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The executive was full of questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancelotti said: \"The lie is, he's Italy's savior. Buy him, and he'll help Juventus continue dominating Serie A, achieving the quadruple, quintuple, or even eight or nine straight wins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the truth is... he's a player with good luck, balanced in all aspects but without outstanding abilities!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know those stars that fall from grace at lightning speed? That's his future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, don't ask me about Morici. That guy has skills, but his character is terrible! When facing enemies, he is as weak as...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For heaven's sake, don't tell me you're interested in them! I don't like them! Not at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancelotti hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Juventus executive sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the club cannot acquire the San Remo twin stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the club's desire to recruit the twin stars was partly because of this match, and partly inspired by Zidane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juventus executive understood Zidane's idea and thought of Ancelotti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Juventus has been looking for a replacement for Ancelotti. To ensure the replacement's strength, they consecutively brought in two or three forwards around twenty-eight years old, in their prime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Ancelotti very dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the second replacement performed quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there's still some distance to fully replace Ancelotti, not enough to give the executives confidence to let go of Ancelotti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this year, Juventus must renew the contract with Ancelotti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's the harsh reality; Ancelotti, almost 33 years old, is too strong for Juventus to let go!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why the Italian golden generation's careers are stronger than their contemporaries; their peaks are indeed very strong, and their prime lasts long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the newly grown top forwards can't replace them as they enter the later stages of their careers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to maintain team harmony and allow Ancelotti to become a Juventus legend without turmoil, the executives have recently decided to pause replacing Ancelotti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hoped to buy the potential and popular San Remo twin stars, allowing the young players to quietly support Ancelotti for two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Ancelotti could assist the young players in helping Juventus transition their core players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is beneficial to both parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang and Morici are young enough to wait casually for two years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mbappe won the World Cup at eighteen and spent three or four years silently beside Neymar, didn't he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to have a twenty-nine-year-old player wait two years, that's clearly not possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, such a proposal was rejected by Ancelotti before it could be put forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juventus executives don't know who's right, but for now, they certainly can't afford to lose Ancelotti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Juventus's dominance in the league fell last year, largely due to Ancelotti's injury absence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The true god has appeared!
