Chapter 122 The Brit Awards and the Anglo-Italian War(2/3)
"Is he talented or is he squandering the gifts of God? Football or music, how should this 18-year-old choose?"
"One Step to Heaven, One Step to Hell! Do you still want to play football if you are nominated for the Best Single in the British Music Awards?"
As one of the most authoritative music awards and grand ceremony in Europe, the British Music Awards are very popular and valuable in Europe.
This year, a song called "The Shape of the Heart" swept across Europe and directly dominated the music charts of many countries in the European continent for two or three months.
With its elegant melody and restrained lyrics, if such songs cannot be listed in the British Music Awards, the award will lose its due authority and justice.
Therefore, even in the current "national war", Lu Yang should have received a lot of nominations.
This should have been a good opportunity for the Italian media, and they can gain the upper hand in public opinion. After all, their players are so outstanding, with multiple aspects, showing off their own lines.
But who makes the English media more awesome?
They quickly put the title "Warm congratulations to Lu Yang on his two major awards to the British Music Awards on his birthday."
Lu Yang’s birthday is July 25th.
July 24th is the last round of the European Youth Championship group stage, Italy vs England.
July 26th is the first round of the European Youth Competition semi-finals.
Then the question is, under what circumstances should Lu Yang participate in the British concert on the 25th?
Of course, it was when Italy failed to get out of the group stage.
This is undoubtedly a curse of the English media.
And the curse of the blessing mask made the Italian media not easy to have aroused.
It is impossible for them to deny the achievements they have gained in other fields, right?
Lu Yang's song is very nice, which is something that all Europeans know, but unexpectedly, at this juncture, it has become the most important element that affects the morale of the Italian National Youth Team.
No wonder people often say that when you are the strongest, you are the weakest.
This nomination is really not the time.
Later that day, Lu Yang and Sofia got in touch. After the two communicated, Sofia responded to the nomination and invitation of the British Music Awards on behalf of Lu Yang.
The lights flashed, and Sophia was not at all nervous when facing dozens of reporters. She smiled and was very decent: "Thank you for your attention to Lu Yang. He has received praise from the English media and expressed his gratitude for it."
"He is currently preparing for the next game, and it is not convenient to be distracted for other reasons, so I will hold this press conference on his behalf. I will convey some of Lu Yang's ideas."
"First, Lu Yang loves football more than music. He doesn't mind making more attempts during the offseason, but if there is a formal football game, then all activities will make way for the game and he will not be distracted by anything else."
The media in the audience smiled faintly. They knew what Lu Yang wanted to express, but might Lu Yang not be distracted?
The impact has been caused, isn't it?
Otherwise, how did this press conference come about today?
"Second, Lu Yang is sure. No matter what the schedule of the European Youth Championship is, he will not appear at the British Music Awards on July 25th." Sofia said firmly and finally gave the answer the Italian media wanted.
Never bow your head!
In fact, the exposure of Lu Yang's music award nomination at such a critical moment was that the English media wanted to disrupt the morale of the Italian National Youth Team.
But on the other hand, there is actually a deep hint, which is deliberately guiding people to associate.
Did Lu Yang perform worse when he was against England in the European Youth Championship, and the British Music Awards would give him a real trophy instead of just a nomination?
No one has ever said that in the British Music Awards, but such associations will not stop.
Therefore, Italian media hope to hear Lu Yang's firm reply, rather than an ambiguous response that is ambiguous, pleasing on both sides and not expressing their attitude.
At this critical period, the latter is already a betrayal to the public.
This is the same as after every insulting incident in China, some celebrities are obviously stakeholders but insist on pretending to be dead and pretending to be invisible, which makes people disappointed.
"Third, instead of inviting Lu Yang to participate in the British Music Awards so enthusiastically, British media should focus more on their own youth, for example, they can consider inviting players from the English National Youth Team to participate in the event." Sofia said, "After all, I heard that all the players of the English National Youth Team are English stars."
"Their arrival will definitely bring a frenzy of attention to the British Music Awards!"
After Sophia finished speaking, her smile remained the same.
But the media outlets had already made a sound of gasping for breath.
What does this mean?
Just as British media hopes that Lu Yang will appear at the British Music Awards, because that means the Italian team is out of the group stage.
So, Sophia just said that she was telling everyone that Lu Yang hopes England will be eliminated in the group stage.
Considering that England is currently the top of the A-team scoreboard, this is almost straightforward to tell everyone that in the next game, Italy will definitely win and will definitely win England!
To this extent, let alone the English media, even the Italian media workers present were a little embarrassed and ashamed.
Although it is great, it is the English National Youth Team!
The net worth of midfielders alone exceeds 100 million euros. Almost every player is a star player. Most of the players play in the five major leagues and are the main players or the giants rotate.
It can be said that before the match against the English National Youth Team, there is no longer a team on the entire earth that dares to speak out and will definitely beat them.
Even Spain, the second-seeded student in this session, dared not say such words.
Fortunately, Spain didn't say that, because they even lost to England.
What's more, Italy was once the lowest-end team in this European Youth Championship!
"Sofia, is this Lu Yang's provocation to the English National Youth Team?" Some English media were indignant and asked a question on their own initiative.
Sophia is charming and confident: "It can't be said to be a provocation..."
"Then how dare he say that? I think you need to explain it clearly, otherwise it will easily make people mistakenly think that Lu Yang is an arrogant young man who doesn't understand football!" The reporter was very angry.
Sofia nodded and imitated Lu Yang's tone, "Sofia, don't worry, England is just the one with their defense, they are not as strong as everyone imagines, at least not much stronger than Poland!"
"I feel like I'm in a good state. I won't score fewer goals in the next game than playing Poland. I promise! We have a big chance of winning!"
Then, Sophia commented: "In fact, I think it's more accurate to say contempt than to provoke. Yes, that's what our Lu Yang said, he wants to play England!"
"Of course, this is not because Lu and England have a grudge. This is just a tiny contribution he has made to the British Music Awards. By the way, remember to send invitations to the players of the English National Youth Team."
The press conference ends.
European media exploded instantly.
Listen, what did that boy say?
He actually said that he would play England next game?
He thinks England's defense line is similar to Poland? That is to say, Italy is preparing to score four England goals in the next game?
As strong as Spain, three of them entered Italy, but what about facing England?
Just one shot!
Who do Lu Yang thinks he is?
Did he think he was in the Italian football team that stood at the top of the world more than a decade ago?
He is now in the Italian national youth team, a pseudo-power football powerhouse!
A big chance of winning?
Do you call one tenth a big win?
Is the chance of winning in England very small?
The Englishmen are ready to go, hoping that the last group match will start soon.
In this way, they can shut up the rampant Oriental boy.
In this way, the Italian vs England European Youth Championship, which was originally very concerned, attracted more people.
Originally, everyone was paying attention to it because everyone wanted to know who could appear in England or Spain.
After all, only the first place in each group must qualify.
But now, the Italian national youth team, which is really talking wildly, is full of expectations.
Lu Yang is known as an Italian slap player.
Because he cared about Ding, Serie C and even played football in the Italian Cup, he slapped people who were not optimistic about them several times.
Among them, there are even many powerful teams like Rome and AC Milan.
But no matter what, it is just in Italy.
Although Italy is not rampant in fake football, or there is a certain number of tacit understanding in every league, its reputation for "fake" has been spread, and most fans think that Italian football matches have more room for artificial operations.
So the miracle created by Lu Yang and the legend of San Remo set sail, maybe it was also operated?
At least the English media is willing to think so and spread it so much.
And major mainstream media have almost no idea that the Italian national youth team can win.
Many neutral media have put forward the slogan "Getting is a kind of victory."
There is no doubt that these media are all from Spain, because if England is tied by Italy, then Spain will take the initiative in the position of the first place in Group A.
The feeling of deciding one's own destiny is undoubtedly the best.
