Even if it’s next year or the year after, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to join Real Madrid.

It’s not because he’s unworthy, but because Real Madrid won’t be able to afford it by then!

"I can wait!" Zidane spoke.

Four words, encompassing great strategic insight.

This sentence almost encapsulates Zidane’s career choices for the coming years.

When Izalelt arrives, Zidane will yield, endure, and even collaborate fully with Izalelt to bring glory to Real Madrid. This means Zidane’s position will step back, and he might sit on the bench more often.

But Zidane doesn’t fear.

He knows that Real Madrid’s Galaxy Battleship is aging; without Izalelt, it would disband this year. Even if Izalelt joins, the battleship can only hold on for three more years at most.

Three to four years later, the battleship disbands, and if the results don’t meet expectations, Izalelt cannot continue with Real Madrid.

Because Real Madrid doesn’t keep heroes who fail; they only want winners, and they even dare not to want winners!

Those who remain then are people like Zidane, who have both fame and skill but are not overly flashy. Just like C Luo who left and Modric who stayed!

Then, Zidane will invite Lu Yang, the newly risen star who has finished training, to join and together bring glory to Real Madrid.

With Lu Yang’s support, Zidane’s position is as steady as a mountain.

With Zidane’s assistance and eventual stepping down, Lu Yang’s future at Real Madrid will be within reach.

This is an epic collaboration, the most perfect story in football!

An epic of rebirth and legacy.

And the two people in the story will become unavoidable legends in Real Madrid’s history!

"Are you coming?" Zidane spoke, each word carrying immense weight!

Morici wanted to speak up several times but found he lacked the courage.

Because even if it’s three to four years, who dares say they’ll have the skill to grace Bernabéu then, conquer Real Madrid, and become the emperor in countless Merengue’s eyes?

Just ask who the hell dares!

"Sword come, oh no... I come!" Lu Yang responded.

At this moment, no matter how history changes, no matter what tomorrow holds.

As long as Zidane can still run, as long as Lu Yang is still playing, the two will definitely succeed in forming an alliance!

...

Late at night.

Morici tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He’s likely to end up at Barça in the future, but Lu Yang is certain to join Real Madrid?

This...

Morici sat dazed in the living room.

Knock knock knock!

The door was opened.

It’s Lu Yang.

"Why are you here? Didn’t you go back? It’s already past one in the morning." Morici was somewhat surprised.

Lu Yang pushed open Morici’s door with his uncasted hand and said, "I figured you wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, so I came to console you."

Morici closed the door while handing Lu Yang slippers: "So you’re definitely going to Real Madrid?"

Lu Yang said: "Not necessarily."

Morici sighed, indeed, after all, they have to... wait!

"Not necessarily?" Morici was dumbfounded, "But you agreed to Zidane earlier today that you’re coming..."

Lu Yang looked at Morici as if he was an idiot: "Do you think Zidane only said that to me?"

Morici’s eyes almost popped out: "You’re saying?"

"You play football. But Zidane plays... the ways of the world!" Lu Yang said as he turned on the living room lights and TV, "There are countless talents in football; I’m not the only one he’s chosen, so I might not just promise him alone."

"It’s like when James, Wade, and Bosh formed a peak alliance; do you think James only sought them? Even Rose or Pao Luo, Anthony are possible!"

"Brotherhood football, do you think it’s one life, one pair?"

"Sorry, actually, the one Neptune picked just happened to be you!"

Morici stood still, deeply feeling the complexity of society.

"Brother Lu, so fast?" Emma came down in pajamas, hugging a PS.

"Didn’t you say you have the latest FIFA game here? I can’t stand the dumb reps of PES anymore; quick, start a match!" Lu Yang excitedly rushed to connect the PS, showing no sign of his broken hand.

Morici frowned.

This isn’t right.

Weren’t you supposed to come see me in the middle of the night?

Turns out you came for gaming with my sister... and I caught you?

Damn!
