CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 92: I’M REALLY NOT THE MAFIA—THE WORLD TURNS TOWARD LOYALTY (15,000-WORD MEGA CHAPTER)

Becher: "Perhaps this result may surprise many, but actually... it really doesn’t."

Hans: "Are you sure? Then what about the conflict between you and Lu Yang during the fifth round of the Italian Cup when you were on the field..."

Becher: "That was my fault."

"In that match, I was too obsessed with scoring goals and didn’t follow the arrangements of Head Coach Mr. Sotu. Lu Yang is the team leader and the on-field core; he has the right and obligation to take charge when a teammate is not performing well or is having a mental lapse."

"Although the method was somewhat unique, if there were a better way, Lu Yang would definitely have tried it first. I have to admit, after that incident, my performance improved a lot, and the team also played more threateningly. We eventually won the game, and it was closely related to that conflict."

"I need to thank Lu; he is an excellent leadership player. I feel ashamed for what I did earlier, and previously, I lacked enough respect for San Remo and my teammates."

"And now, I want to fully integrate into San Remo and hope that Head Coach Mr. Sotu, my teammates, and the fans are willing to give me this opportunity."

Hans: "I see, can you specifically talk about what happened between you all before?"

Becher: "Initially, I came with the idea of conquering San Remo. After all, I should enjoy core treatment in any team in the Italian Third Division. But I overlooked that San Remo can perform miracles repeatedly because they are different from ordinary Third Division teams."

"San Remo has so many excellent players. Lu’s efficiency is something I’ve never seen before. Although I haven’t played with the true organizational core Morici yet, I know he is fit to be the brain of any team."

"This team is unlike any I have been in before. If I had to compare, I’d liken San Remo to a team with the makings of a strong team."

Hans: "What do you mean by the concept of a strong team?"

Becher: "Serie A team! In terms of structure, San Remo is top-notch in Serie B, even at a Serie A level. Don’t forget, they have successively defeated all the top three teams in Serie B!"

Hans: "Then how do you think you should better integrate into this team?"

Becher: "In terms of attitude, I must once again apologize to my Head Coach Mr. Sotu, and in the future, I will execute his tactical plans 100%. His authority should not be questioned or challenged by any player; I firmly support all of Mr. Sotu’s powers."

"Similarly, in terms of playstyle, I hope that in addition to my original core playstyle, I can also adapt to the role player playstyle at San Remo. This does not mean that I am not important to San Remo anymore; on the contrary, Lu Yang’s current attacking core playstyle at San Remo is essentially a role player playstyle."

"Lowering my stance and mindset, starting from the most ordinary yet indispensable tasks, steadily contributing to the team."

"This is my requirement for myself, and it is one of the things I learned from Lu."

"Among the many Serie A teams that previously pursued me, many people also hope that I can learn this playstyle because you can’t immediately become a core every time you join a team. Especially when a lower league player joins a higher league team, transitioning from core to role player is an inevitable path."

"Thanks to San Remo, thanks to Mr. Sotu, thanks to Lu, they helped me step out of arrogance and see the full picture of football. If I can become better in the future, it must be inseparable from their help!"

Hans: "Your change is significant. I’ve watched your previous interviews; what caused such a huge change in mindset in such a short time? I must say, the current you looks more like a star player!"

Becher: "Lu talked to me. Although he is almost ten years younger than me, he is very mature and more deserving of the leader player position than I am."

"He told me many key points that I hadn’t paid attention to before and made me more clearly aware of my current position and my future development direction."

"I sincerely thank Lu Yang! Whether on the field or off, he fulfills everything a team leader should do. He is willing to help everyone in this team, even if that person once had a very negative attitude competing with him for the team core."

"I felt an expansiveness from the East in Lu. If I have the chance in the future, I want to read more famous Chinese classics; perhaps they can make me wiser and more responsible, such as The Doctrine of the Mean, Records of History, The Analects, Mencius, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Jin Ping Mei, etc."

"Finally, through this platform, I want to sincerely say a belated apology to Lu... Lu, I’m sorry! Thank you for forgiving and accepting me, thank you!"

Becher’s interview had a significant impact in the football media world.

So significant that it exceeded Becher’s own imagination.

So significant that it was not only the Italian football community but the entire European football community that discussed this interview.

Premier League star Best liked and commented on this video: "I am lucky; I came from a prestigious youth academy, got first-team appearances at a young age, was fortunate enough to score on my debut, and smoothly became a Premier League star."

"But I know there are more players who come up from lower leagues. In a sense, they are more excellent and outstanding than players like me, but some bad habits developed in lower leagues have also become factors hindering their further progress."
