But this really did muddy the waters.
Twenty goals suddenly turned into twenty league goals.
Some less rational netizens walked right into the trap set by French Football, getting dragged onto the track defined by French Football's rules.
Calculated like that, Lu Yang now has seventeen league goals, still three short.
And although the Golden Ball Award result will be announced on December 1st, the voting will definitely be over before that, followed by a series of arrangements.
So Lu Yang might only have one more match left as an opportunity.
That's what the fans think.
But this kind of thinking… the demands it places on a player are really too high.
He just scored four in the last game.
And now he's supposed to follow that up with a hat trick?
Seven goals across two games back-to-back, is that even possible?
This time, forget French Football.
Even some neutral papers are stating quite fairly that this is impossible.
Seven goals over two games is not unheard of.
