Chapter 1162 - 279: More Frightening Than a Perfect Champions League is a Crown Won Upon a Thousand Bones!

This year’s Serie A can be considered the most star-studded league in the world.

Because they have two best lineups.

Each lineup is highly recognized by the fans.

On the Serie A second lineup, led by Perrotta, Talista, and Praxedes.

Just the names of these three players showcase what quality means.

Perrotta!

The King of the Red Wolves from Rome, fourth in Serie A, the league’s iron shoe.

Talista, one of the three new Divine Strikers that have emerged in Serie A over the past two years, known alongside Kolber and Lu Yang.

A fierce character with a single season record of 20+12.

Praxedes, last year’s Champions League winner, and the absolute contributor to AC Milan’s fifth position in the league this year, the current Team Spirit of AC Milan, and an absolute mainstay for the Italy National Team.

These three, which league would they not enter as the best lineup?

Yet in Serie A, they can only be selected for the second lineup.

Among the three forward lines of the second team, the remaining one is somewhat unexpected because... it’s Sogel!

Sogel, the newest rising Divine Striker in Serie A, after this year, the number of rising Divine Strikers over the past three years is not three but four.

The Four Divine Strikers of Serie A!

Tali, Kol, Lu, Sogel!

Among these, Lu Yang has the greatest achievements, highest popularity, highest prestige, most unique, and is most irreplaceable.

Talista is the most unruly, having the worst reputation, and is one of the representatives of "rogue football".

Kolber represents the style of a poacher forward, and is the leading figure of modern central forwards in Serie A.

And Sogel is the leading figure of classical central forwards, pivot forwards, and large pillar-type central forwards.

Kolber’s statistics are more striking, but Sogel’s tactical role is greater, and he will be more rare in the future.

Of course, neither Kolber nor Sogel are entirely poacher or pillar central forward types, they both possess a distinctive personal style and have a tendency to evolve into all-around central forwards.

Kolber, after all, is a bit older, at twenty-seven, and perhaps the experience and vision was in place, leading to a sudden qualitative change.

While Sogel was greatly influenced by Lu Yang at San Remo, at a young age he embarked on the path of becoming an all-around central forward. By the time he reaches Kolber’s age, he might be much stronger than Kolber is now.

This might also be one of the reasons Sogel is able to outperform Kolber.

Not only Kolber, but this year’s Serie A forwards collectively rejuvenated, with Savio and Vedian from Atlanta, Perotti from Florence, Du Wan from Lazio, all performing comparably to Sogel.

The immense popularity of AC Milan is an important reason for Sogel earning this position.

This is the advantage of belonging to a prestigious club.

Of course, sometimes this advantage can turn into a disadvantage, full of uncertainties.

It can only be said that Sogel’s luck and strength are both quite good.

In the midfield, the core of Udinese, Candreva, the newly crowned champion Purple Lily’s unparalleled midfielder Cortino, Rome’s midfield core Balera, and Naples’ team core Pellegrini are selected.

Unexpectedly, AC Milan’s new midfield core Andrés regrettably did not make the selection, defeated by the aforementioned four.

This is the disadvantage of prestigious clubs.

The selections of Praxedes and Sogel squeezed out Andrés from the selection.

Furthermore, AC Milan’s league performance this year is somewhat mediocre, managing fifth place even without Izalelt.

But it’s not really great either, as they didn’t make it into the Champions League zone, slightly inconsistent with AC Milan’s prestigious status.

Moreover, Andrés... is not Italian, nor was he trained at AC Milan, so in terms of support and popularity, he is indeed lacking.

The person he most likely could have squeezed out is Candreva.

But... one of the key purposes of expanding the Serie A second team lineup includes supporting star players from mid and lower tier teams.

This is official policy.

So the fact that the Candreva-led Udinese is only ninth in Serie A becomes an advantage.

Furthermore... Candreva is quite popular.

In the final moments of the European Cup playoff, if Candreva hadn’t voluntarily asked to be substituted, bringing on Lu Yang, there wouldn’t have been that one foot that shocked the world with the One Hundred Million Euros valued Lu’s Arc.

And Italy wouldn’t have bravely won the European Cup afterwards.

With Lu Yang present, Candreva never dies!

When one prospers, their entire entourage prospers!

It might be hard to believe, but in the future, Candreva will surely be an essential figure when people recount the San Remo miracle.

In the backfield, Rome’s goalkeeper Ameluci, Praxedes, Udinese’s King of Free Kicks Milovjevic, and Juventus’ center-back right-back swinger Turan are selected.

Among them, the most controversial is Turan.

It’s not that he doesn’t deserve it, but... as one of the finest center-backs in Serie A, unmatched best right-back... how could Turan not have made the first team?

But rather the second team?

Turan and Juventus’ fans are extremely dissatisfied, leaving numerous comments under the official announcement.

And indeed, the Serie A officials have no hidden agenda, their attitude is calm and their stance firm, stating that Turan’s poor performance facing Lu Yang in the thirty-eighth round perhaps proves that an ordinary center-back isn’t so bad.

But it also proves that Turan isn’t as incredible as everyone thinks.

Facing truly top-notch players, being overwhelmed is normal.

But as a top-notch player, to be played off so desperately in such direct confrontation, allowing Lu Yang to shine and continuously equalize and overtake, is definitely inappropriate.

This explanation instantly quieted Juventus fans.

Because... it’s indeed reasonable.

Turan was completely knocked from the first team to the second team by Lu Yang this year.
