The perfect center forward: Becoming a soccer king from the corner of Chuanu Chapter 032

Baldy Pep’s rambling blog post was primarily aimed at denigrating young players like Lucia, who enjoyed the adulation of fans online.

He believed that such inflated egos would cause young players to lose their drive, and that fame and money coming too easily would prevent them from focusing on the pitch.

While his words had merit, there was no doubt that the most crucial reason was Guardiola, with his fiery temper, taking out his anger over his daughter on Lucia.

With the Manchester Derby approaching in the next round, he wasn’t busy studying the opponent’s tactics, but instead engaging in a war of words online with an eighteen-year-old player.

Facing such a direct attack, Lucia responded immediately online, demonstrating that he wouldn’t be pushed around.

“A Ferrari can be driven like a Fiat, but a Bugatti can never be driven like a Volkswagen!”

Borrowing Ibrahimovic’s classic retort against Guardiola, Lucia directly posted pictures of two car brands.

And in terms of starting price, a Bugatti had more prestige than a Ferrari.

The most exciting part of this direct response wasn’t the netizens’ replies, but the fact that Maria Guardiola liked the post.

The classic scene of a loving father and a smiling child is timeless. Such a cheeky move meant that Sera would have to painstakingly clean up broken dishes again, lest his second daughter, Valentina, get hurt~

The brief international break became a time for Lucia to train extra hard. With his excellent performances in the last two matches against top clubs, Ventura was also considering letting this exceptionally talented young player get a taste of the national team.

In terms of efficiency, Lucia, who had scored four goals in three league matches, absolutely far surpassed Immobile, who had only scored nine goals in 29 appearances last season.

Moreover, with Pelé’s increasing age and his performance in lower-tier leagues, it was imperative to call up a new generation of fresh talent.

Watching the first World Cup qualifier against Israel at his Italian restaurant, he was surprised to see the former Luneng star perform quite impressively, assisting and scoring to help the team to a 3- 1 victory.

“Lucia, when will you get to wear the blue jersey?” Pinto, currently in high spirits, teased his son.

“Next international break!” Lucia said with a smile.

The advantage of choosing an Italian agent was that Raiola had already explicitly told Lucia that if he maintained this level of performance, he would definitely be included in the next national team squad.

The World Cup and European Championship were the major events that attracted the most attention. Since he had Italian blood, Lucia had to achieve something in these international competitions.

And he had to join early, otherwise, the unreliable Azzurri might not even make it to the World Cup’s round of thirty-two.

The casual promise to Rice turned into a regular dinner. Lucia, having signed a short-term competitive cooperation agreement with Maria for head-to-head matches, no longer sought out other flirtations.

Instead, he was discussing another business venture with Guardiola’s eldest daughter: selling blind box figurines overseas.

Making money wasn’t the main goal; the most important thing was to make Guardiola, who publicly criticized him online, even more uncomfortable!

Lovers can break up for various reasons, but a business relationship can last much longer. And Lucia was genuinely supporting Maria, who had a dream of becoming a designer, with real money.

For a rebellious young girl, this was an absolute killer move, the best male friend who understood her as a soulmate.

Since Maria had a talent for cartoon character design, and Pop Mart hadn’t yet swept the domestic market,

Lucia thought of selling such blind box figurines both domestically and internationally. In the future, once he had enough revenue, he would buy the portrait rights of Manchester City staff.

He wanted to create a hidden edition figurine of Guardiola from 2014, when he was utterly crushed 4- 0 by Real Madrid in the Champions League at the Allianz Arena.

His own daughter had to create it based on her old man’s painful expression, staging a moment of uproarious filial piety that would pierce his heart.

Or, he could make a figurine of Mourinho wildly sprinting with one finger pointed to the sky at Camp Nou, to infuriate that petty Guardiola!!

Choosing the English names of the two people as the brand name, Lucia had Raiola arrange for the company registration to be completed, and then began the design of the first batch of products.

Knowing the value of being backed by the world’s largest market, Lucia spent a small amount of money to purchase the usage rights for the figurines from the 2015 animated film “Monkey King: Hero Is Back.”

Spending little to achieve much, the film’s production company could use this opportunity to create a buzz by going global, while the newly established ML Maru Company aimed for success both domestically and internationally!

Moreover, big IPs like Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms still had a significant market abroad. In the future, a player version of Lin Daiyu wouldn’t be out of the question either.

“Maria, I believe in your talent. Your designs will definitely be recognized by the market!”

“Thank you, darling. You’re so good to me~”

Maria, who had specifically flown back to London from Milan, didn’t even go home to see her parents. Instead, she immediately began head-to-head training with Lucia at their new rented home.

Lucia, well-rested from no matches, met Maria, who was experiencing intimacy for the first time and indulging freely.

A fiery battle concluded with Lucia scoring twice. The young girl already understood what a “safe period” was, and directly performed a “puff pastry filling.”

“Guardiola’s expression seems a bit stern. I wonder if it’s the news about his beloved daughter last night that broke the old man’s heart again, or if Mourinho’s targeted tactics are giving him a headache!”

The British media, ever eager for traffic, wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to earn it, mentioning these amusing anecdotes while commentating on the Manchester Derby.

In the end, the Blue Moon prevailed in the opening match of the fourth league round, as Manchester United, playing at Old Trafford, lost 1- 2 to Manchester City.

De Bruyne scored first, Iheanacho contributed a goal and an assist, and Ibra pulled one back. Manchester City successfully completed the comeback, climbing to the top of the league table with a one-point advantage over their city rivals.

“Honey, the game’s over, it’s time for bed~” The young wife, in a lace nightgown, invited.

“Stop it, the next game is about to start!” The man righteously refused. There was only one game a week, so the match was naturally more important.

“What time?”

“Soon, it starts at ten o’clock!”

“Then there’s still time~” The young wife directly used a soft but firm tactic, altering a line from the Book of Songs.

“Underestimating me, are we? Today, I’m going to make you look good!”

A few moments later!

The old brother, who had finished his post-match cigarette, turned on the TV and saw that the two teams were still in the player tunnel. He rubbed his lower back and quickly ordered two dozen Rushan oysters as a snack for watching the game.

Not choosing powerhouses like Arsenal or Tottenham, Real Madrid fans chose to support the young player Lucia, who was making Guardiola uncomfortable.

On September 10, 2016, at 10:00 PM Beijing time, West Ham United faced Watford at home.

Before the match, the good news for the Hammers was that three injured players, including last season’s core Frenchman Payet, had successfully recovered.

The bad news was that five players were still injured, with Andy Carroll and record signing Ayew still recovering.

Facing an opponent of similar strength, Bilic set up a 4- 2- 3- 1 formation, with the in-form Lucia still leading the line as the lone striker.
