And the real backbone of the Italy National Youth Team was merely wearing his medal, quietly watching his teammates' wild celebrations from the sidelines, not disturbing or overshadowing their glory.
In fact, when the team's substitute goalkeeper was celebrating, Lu Yang noticed that the media presence was sparse, so he proactively went forward to join the substitute goalkeeper and signaled the media to come over and capture it.
But this "outsider" mode didn't last long.
The official interviews quickly surrounded Lu Yang, as they had countless interests in him.
Reporter: "Lu Yang, as a Chinese-heritage player achieving such tremendous success, do you have anything you'd like to say to Chinese and world football fans?"
Lu Yang: "Certainly! Although I haven't played domestically, I hope to represent Chinese Football and make our voice heard in the center of World Football! In the future, I hope Chinese fans will also be able to engage in the highest level games in World Football!"
