Chapter 1122 - 269: The Most Sensational Brawl of the New Century

"Lu Yang has actually torn his Achilles tendon!"

"Then there’s no way he can play; his injury is far from healed."

"He’s not expected to recover until June, and it’s only the end of April now!"

"I said it before, Lu Yang going to the team’s training base is just for show; he’s currently not capable of playing football."

"It’s probably to motivate his teammates and fans. Lu Yang is quite good at this."

"We were almost fooled; this San Remo is playing dirty!"

"Oh my God, without Lu Yang, what does San Remo have to face Real Madrid?"

"Don’t be naive; even with Lu Yang, San Remo has zero chances of winning. This is the Galaxy Battleship! Making San Remo like Barça already shows mercy; not understanding surrender means losing by ten in this game!"

"Exactly, just surrender voluntarily; surrendering halves the loss, and we’ll go easy."

Soon after, major media outlets followed the revelation of Lu Yang’s injury.

And Zidane quickly called Lu Yang, indicating Old Buddha’s influence is vast and funds are in place; no one can stop him.

Lu Yang thanked Zidane, whether he helped or not, at least he tried to help.

One should not blame others for other reasons; principles must be upright.

On the same day, Lu Yang continued to appear at the team’s training ground and was surrounded by reporters.

Reporter: "Lu Yang, did you come to the training ground just to show off?"

Reporter: "You’re clearly not recovered, yet you forcibly make an appearance; did you learn this marketing tactic from the film industry?"

Reporter: "You even ran a few steps yesterday during training and practiced dribbling and shooting; don’t you know that intense early exercise can worsen your injury?"

Reporter: "How do you view Real Madrid fans’ statement of ’surrendering halves the loss’?"

To this, Lu Yang responded with a slight smile: "San Remo will never abandon the pursuit of the championship, nor will I. Real Madrid may be the strongest opponent we’ve ever encountered, but precisely for this reason, we must give our all."

"I don’t know where Real Madrid got my medical report, but they might have invaded my privacy; I’m contacting a lawyer. I want an explanation."

"I feel I’m mostly recovered; I will definitely appear in the next game. This isn’t some desperate marketing tactic; it’s the truth."

"I understand Real Madrid’s fear of me; after all, I am currently the player they most want, which speaks volumes, doesn’t it? Real Madrid wouldn’t want mediocre players."

Lu Yang’s response was interesting, as he was ready to sue Real Madrid.

But Real Madrid was proactive, stating their website was previously hacked, altering the homepage.

They have now reverted the website and are pursuing the hacker.

Uh...

Such words are only believable to children.

It directly blocked Lu Yang’s reason for the lawsuit.

And Real Madrid’s Old Buddha made uncharacteristic frequent interviews: "Do we most want Lu Yang? No, no, it’s never been like that."

"I think Lu Yang has misjudged his value. Our football department has indeed mentioned signing him, but mostly for Eastern Market commercial development considerations."

"In terms of competitive level, Lu has yet to meet Real Madrid’s starting standards, let alone replace any of our main players. Of course, we hope to sign him, but he must start as a substitute first."

"We don’t fear him or San Remo. Remember, we won the first leg against them by five goals!"

Old Buddha deliberately raised his hand to illustrate "five" vividly.

Reporters immediately flocked to Lu Yang, eager to see his response to Old Buddha.

The scene is bound to become more intense, they sense.

If such verbal disputes continue, one side will eventually exaggerate or reveal shocking information.

This is the moment the media awaits eagerly.

And this time, after San Remo drew with opponents in the league, going five consecutive league matches without a win, the media finally got what they needed.

Post-match interviews, reporters were indifferent to this match’s result.

Everyone knew that San Remo’s league campaign had effectively ended even before the Champions League semifinals began this year.

Reporter: "In this league round, Florence was held to a draw, and Juventus caught up with Florence’s points. The competition between the two teams has reached a fever pitch; who do you favor to win the championship?"

Lu Yang: "I favor Florence. From our encounters, Florence has clearly exerted more pressure on us this season. Never underestimate a top scorer’s championship heart."

Reporters gleaned some implications.

These words were said to Carrel by Lu Yang, but also to Real Madrid.

Don’t underestimate San Remo.

Reporter: "What do you think about the interview with Real Madrid’s chairman, especially his...hand gestures? Are you considering accepting Real Madrid’s ’surrender halves the loss’ condition?"

Lu Yang frowned: "Why accept? Because we lost by five? If they scored five in the first leg, why can’t we score six in the second leg?"

"Anything is possible; I always expect miracles!"

The reporter was stunned: "Are you saying... San Remo will score six goals at Bernabéu?"

Lu Yang nodded: "If possible, why not?"

There was an uproar at the scene, reporters were holding back laughter.

It’s happening, Lu Yang has lost composure!

He can even say such things.
