When old players like Audi renew their contracts later, Juventus will experience more upheaval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They still belong to teams that have updated and prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Inter and AC Milan will face harder times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inter, although having 48 million euros left by Gutierrez, Finger's demands are too harsh, leaving Inter in a dilemma now. Finger is in his prime; if they give him a high salary, what about the other players?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, even giving Izalet an eight million annual salary will disrupt AC Milan Team's salary structure with Izalet in his prime!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serie A can't hold on anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year might very well be Serie A's last glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call of the New Seven Sisters of Serie A has just been made, and the twilight of the gods in Serie A has already descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the cruel side of Moneyball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when football leaves you, it doesn't even say goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you realize it, you are already powerless to restore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was Izalet who took the initiative to stand up and put a temporary full stop to this overwhelming discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izalet published a brief text on his public platform: \"Regardless, let's fight for the Champions League this season! AC Milan will win!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izalet's words brought tears to AC Milan fans' eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they seem to already know the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, many AC Milan fans even hope the team is eliminated in the next Champions League quarter-final match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if that happens, wouldn't Izalet stay at AC Milan for not fulfilling his promise to the fans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once when Izalet and Gutierrez dominated Milan City, it now feels like a desolate scene of 'people leaving, tea cools'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on AC Milan's training ground, Andrés continues to run and practice tirelessly, sweating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows that his era at AC Milan is about to arrive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in San Remo was right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izalet is about to leave, Praxedes is already in his twilight years, and in the entirety of AC Milan, only Rui Andres can fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Lu Yang said was actually true!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven moves vigorously, the gentleman should strive unceasingly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next Red and Black is named Rui Andres!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>February 23, the second round of the UEFA Europa League knockout stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo away against Portuguese Super League's Porto!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the kickoff, Porto launched a reckless attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the seventh minute with the first shot, Parrot scored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Porto one to zero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an aggregate score of Porto three to three San Remo, but because of two away goals, Porto has now taken the lead, reversing the situation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But five minutes after this goal, Bernulin's long pass from the backfield found Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang continuously moved laterally to adjust, moving through the penalty area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even adjusted his angle from facing the goal to back again and to face the goal once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the left area of the penalty box, he almost circled with the defending players before, under the siege of four defenders, chipping a shot to the far corner and scored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This goal can be called unbelievable, absolutely at the level of a Miracle Ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This goal not only left Porto's defenders helpless but also had San Remo's other players at a loss, just quietly watching Brother Lu's performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo also took the aggregate lead of four to three over Porto with this goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Porto players didn't lose their confidence, because as long as they score another goal, they can lead again thanks to the away goal advantage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ferreira repeatedly launched assaults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kaint's defense has improved since the last match, truly finding Ferreira's dribbling rhythm, completing multiple successful tackles during Ferreira's advance with the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, San Remo didn't give Porto another chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaint and Lu Yang's sweeping in the midfield left Porto almost without a midfield to speak of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their only offensive method was a long pass from the backfield to find a forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lam's only task in this game was to mark Parrot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine how hard it must be for a defender to mark a fast-moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though San Remo left their central area wide open, if Porto launched a central through ball, they could break through San Remo's defense line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a central through ball, it must start from midfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Porto's football couldn't get past the midfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You expect a central defender to break through the midfield with a through ball from the backfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is nothing short of a fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the 82nd minute of the entire match, Sogel in a counterattack earned a corner kick for San Remo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morici took the corner kick, and Naji, replacing Palacios as a starter today, scored with a header.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five to three!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Remo almost killed the match!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Porto went from needing one goal to win to needing two just to draw, deflating their spirits in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the three whistle blows, Porto concluded their European Competition journey this year, exiting with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And San Remo, successfully entered the Europa League last sixteen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let Italy's last moments of glory shine!\u003C\u002Fp>",990,"2026-06-06T13:45:22.578Z",1,"novelbin.me","4445ddead67fbea2178046deefeacb6d100118a394d88fc423c05bef8067752c","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-649","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-647",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
