Chapter 1240 - 292: Unbeaten Barça, San Remo’s Miracle Spreads Across Europe (Part 3)

"The main purpose of this match is to test the effectiveness of our training camp during this period. It looks like we’ve managed to shed the summer weight, which is good news."

"From Shanggang, the player who impressed me the most is definitely the number eleven. His speed, shooting skills, and sense of positioning are all quite good. He’s somewhat similar to that Chinese player Shi Tian from the Spanish team."

"This actually surprised me. Because I always thought China mainly produces players like Lu, who have excellent physical stamina, are actively running, well-balanced in both offense and defense, with strong spirit attributes."

"Of course, we really hope Lu can rejoin the team soon. The good news is that according to the head coach, Lu’s injury recovery is much faster than everyone expected!"

Well, this almost sounds like saying I thought you could only produce rough players, but it turns out you can produce quick and agile ones too!

In Hernandez’s interview, he proactively mentioned Lu Yang and expressed a certain goodwill.

This is in stark contrast to the previous silent attitude of the Bar?a local group.

Along with the similar response from Ortiz yesterday, it inevitably makes people wonder... Has the conflict between Lu Yang and Bar?a, as well as the Bar?a dressing room, been resolved?

Or has there been a different voice emerging within the Bar?a dressing room?

On July 26th, the high-scoring drama film "When Happiness Knocks at Your Door," directed and starred by Sofia, saw a surge in ticket sales over the new weekend, surpassing the American blockbuster that was previously ahead, securing the North American box office championship for July.

Its cumulative box office has already exceeded one hundred million dollars, achieving profitability!

It is preliminarily estimated that this film has an eighty-two percent chance of reaching a total box office of two hundred million dollars.

Because of the film’s high rating, its screening period might be relatively long.

Therefore, on this day before the match, Lu Yang interjected some information about the film with a microphone at the Chengdu Longquanyi dedicated football stadium, exciting the fans greatly.

Because in two days, "When Happiness Knocks at Your Door" will be released in domestic theaters simultaneously with Europe!

Becoming one of the first regions globally outside North America to screen this film.

No doubt, related review departments have given it the green light, otherwise, it wouldn’t have passed so quickly.

Tang Yuqin has certainly played a significant role in this.

This match is Chengdu Rongcheng VS Bar?a.

But Chengdu Rongcheng’s strength is obviously far behind Shanggang.

In just the first half, Bar?a scored four goals.

Four to zero!

New Real Madrid Mateo’s hat-trick in half-time triggered cheers all around.

In the second half, Bar?a began large-scale rotations.

This finally allowed Chengdu Rongcheng to catch a breather.

In the seventy-fifth minute, Chengdu Rongcheng’s young center-back Chen Tao broke Bar?a’s goal in a header attack, achieving a breakthrough from zero.

"Chen Tao! Awesome!"

"Chen Tao! Charge!"

Lu Yang looked at the excited He Gongliang, and his intuition told him there’s definitely something going on here.

"You know him too?" Lu Yang asked.

"Jiangyou People! Chen Tao is also a Jiangyou person! Two years younger than Yu Shihao, the second batch of young players I coached!" He Gongliang excitedly said, "It was because the players of that batch could never score goals that I became disillusioned with men’s soccer, and turned towards women’s soccer, coaching two batches of women’s teams. Last year I met Zhang Linyan!"

Well.

It all connects now!

Does this mean all the players playing soccer from Jiangyou were coached by you?

666!

Ultimately, this match ended with Bar?a easily defeating Chengdu Rongcheng 6-1.

But after the match, the media also noticed this issue.

"Soccer talent boom? A barren region in the soccer map, Sichuan Jiangyou, has successively produced two players who broke Bar?a’s goal!"

"Jiangyou? The hometown of Li Bai, that Jiangyou? Isn’t it a place for eating intestines, how is it related to soccer?"

"Lu Yang effect? Zhang Linyan! Yu Shihao! Chen Tao! Who’s next?"

"All trained by me! Jiangyou’s physical education teacher He Gongliang states that Zhang, Yu, and Chen are all his disciples!"

"Future famous coach He Gongliang! Chinese Super League clubs, what are you waiting for?"

"Too late! He Gongliang has already accepted Bar?a’s invitation, joining their youth training squad!"

"The next center of Sichuan soccer, Jiangyou?"

"Cultural and sports are inseparable! The second football novel writer A Fat Peach is also from Jiangyou!"

Jiangyou became famous overnight.

Jiangyou players also became renowned, suddenly having no trouble finding a team, with many clubs recruiting here.

Jiangyou online writer A Fat Peach further leveraged this heat, soaring to the top of the soccer novel bestseller list, breaking into the top fifty bestsellers online, skyrocketing!

...

July 28th.

"When Happiness Knocks at Your Door" was released domestically, with a first-day box office of fifty million RMB.

It is expected that the total box office will not be less than seven hundred million, destined to break the domestic box office record for films.

And today is Bar?a’s last friendship match in China.

Barcelona VS San Remo!

That’s right, San Remo also came over for warm-up matches.

Their opponents were Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guo’an respectively.

It’s heard that Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, Florence, and other teams are all in talks with Chinese Super League clubs, planning to play some friendship matches domestically next year.

Chinese-Italian football cooperation is becoming increasingly close.

San Remo coming to China naturally receives the host’s treatment.

The previous day, Lu Yang invited all San Remo players and staff for a welcoming dinner.

This time, those who previously said that Lu Yang was weak for compensating and apologizing to Bar?a have nothing to say.
