I AM the Football Star
Chapter 784 - 192: A Flash Before Death, The Cuckoo in the Magpie’s Nest! (Part 2)
These stars, under immense exposure, have become known to football fans worldwide.
More in-depth fans will delve into the Serie B and Italian Cup leagues.
In terms of the Italian Cup, San Remo has maintained its tradition, demonstrating overwhelming superiority in the best player category.
This is partly because other Serie A teams do not field their main players, so they suffer statistically.
Lu Yang was the best player in the Italian Cup and also won the Silver Boot.
Hu Lai took the Golden Boot, but they didn’t make it past the fifth round, so Hu Lai wasn’t in the best squad.
The Italian Cup indeed doesn’t ask for heroes’ backgrounds, but early round performances count for little in the total score, as those matches were chaotic and low-level.
The front line consists of Lu Yang, Talista, and San Remo’s young Fernandez.
The midfield features Finger, Morici, and San Remo’s second-string core Versachi.
In defense, San Remo’s Naji and Mathias were also selected.
The best lineup for Serie B is essentially a San Remo showcase, even worse than the Italian Cup.
The three upfront are Bai Zhami, Sogel, and Bologna’s Kolber.
Midfield includes Lu Yang, Morici, Kaint, and Canyes, directly dominated by San Remo!
In defense, Bernulin and Areola both made it.
Serie B’s best player and Golden Boot go to Lu Yang, with Morici as the assist king.
One can say, looking at this data, fans can truly understand how dominant San Remo has been this season.
The best lineup is not about more members because you’ve won the championship.
It’s a horizontal comparison of individual positions, comparing right wingers with right wingers, midfielders with midfielders. Some teams may not have great records, but their midfield or right winger is superb, and awards should go to them.
Take AC Milan this year, only having two selections in the Champions League best lineup, fewer than Real Madrid in the quarterfinals and Barça in the semifinals.
In Serie A, even winning Juventus didn’t have the most selections.
Thus, when a team can occupy half or more of the best lineup spots, it indicates their dominance in those competitions is phenomenally strong.
This often reflects that the entire team’s strength has surpassed the current competition level.
San Remo is definitely a Serie A-level team, even surpassing some general relegation teams, and not too far from Serie A powerhouses.
However, there’s an interesting aspect where different best lineups position Lu Yang uniquely; some put him upfront, others in midfield.
This depends on other selections and also on Lu Yang’s playstyle this season.
Throughout the season, Sotu often pushed him to play left winger, right winger, or even central forward, yielding great results. Coupled with his goals, calling him the best forward isn’t wrong.
These honors brought Lu Yang a total of six essence points.
Lu Yang attributed them to heading and interceptions, raising them to 84 and 83 respectively.
Thus, Lu Yang’s Serie B season came to a complete end.
