If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 137 Constantinople Crisis (Subscription Request)
The entire Sampdoria team held a simple celebration in Bari.

We will return to Genoa the next day.

After all, we just won the championship, so it’s more fun to play outside.

After returning to Genoa, I was often easily recognized by the fans and couldn't let go.

When Lu Deyang returned to the hotel, it was already past 3 a.m.

When he entered the room, he found that the light was on.

The scene was more intense than he had imagined.

Something was going on between Monica and her best friend that was hard to explain.

I can only say that Italians are better at having fun.

Lu Deyang had seen this scene in ancient Italian paintings hundreds of years ago.

"What are you doing standing around, come here!"

Monica looked up and shouted, and then suffered another critical hit.

Lu Deyang walked towards the bathroom and said, "Take a shower first. I haven't showered since the game."

"It's okay, we don't mind!"

The princess stood up and grabbed Lu Deyang, then pushed him out.

Before Lu Deyang could do anything, he fell into a soft trap.

It was a kind of unspeakable weakness, yet with amazing flexibility in between.

People with good language talent are always better at this aspect.

the room next door.

Mancini was sitting in the room watching TV.

He suffered from insomnia.

The TV was broadcasting an American program that exposed the Soviets' inhumane human experiments.

Just at this moment, a familiar knocking sound was heard, making him feel a little sleepy.

This rhythm made him try hard to open his eyes and recognize it.

Just before falling asleep, he finally recognized it. It was the theme song from the James Bond movie.

……

Whether you are happy or sad, the sun will rise as usual.

It is conceivable that this day will not make the Rossoneri happy.

The entire Sampdoria team that won the championship was still in sleep, except for Lu Deyang who was busy all the time.

Sometimes he really doubted whether he was the descendant of Zhuge Rennu Jinchuriki. Why did his life seem so busy?

The attention on this Champions League final is very high, and the whole world is going crazy.

News about the Champions League final dominated all the headlines.

For some unknown reason, La Gazzetta dello Sport published a photo of Lu Deyang hugging the princess.

They wrote: "It was expected that the Rossoneri would lose the game. Before the game started, many people were not optimistic that AC Milan could continue to win the Champions League, so it was not surprising that they lost the game. The most important thing is that in this game, Sampdoria completely controlled the rhythm of the game and did not give AC Milan any chance to take the lead, so there was no question of losing the championship. There were many episodes during the game, but this episode after the game was very interesting. Dejan did not seem out of place no matter which woman he stood with."

Turin Sports Daily: "AC Milan hopes that UEFA will severely punish Redondo, but UEFA officials said after the game that they would be cautious about this matter. As for AC Milan's hope that the Italian Football Association will also punish Redondo, this is indeed possible, but will the Italian Football Association punish Sampdoria for the so-called impact on the league's image?"

"Corriere dello Sport" interviewed Totti after the game. The little prince told reporters: "Dejan showed excellent skills in this game. He felt that AC Milan mainly lacked a leader. Their players are very average, but facing a player of Dejan's level, it seems not enough."

The Times: "The treble, another treble. We are sure that Sampdoria's dynasty has begun. They will continue to achieve quite amazing results. If British football wants to progress, there should be some changes. Maybe Ferguson is right. British teams should introduce some players from the Italian league. They are ahead in terms of skills and tactics."

The Manchester Evening Post interviewed Ferguson again. After winning the FA Cup last season, the Scottish coach won the Cup Winners' Cup this season. He has successfully established himself at Manchester United.

Ferguson told reporters: "We must have enough sense of urgency. The players in the Italian league are very good. I have begun to make some new changes to the young people of Manchester United. After being away from the continent for a few years, the tactics of British football have fallen behind a lot. And another point is that the two-point system makes football more and more ugly. If you want to change the status quo, you should think of a new way, such as winning a game to get three points."

Serie A is conservative, but it's about the same around the world.

Drawing two games is equivalent to winning one game. For weaker teams, pursuing a draw is often the best option.

The prevalence of conservatism is mainly due to the competition system.

Ferguson is not the first to say this, and he won't be the last.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with only 2 points for winning a game.

Liverpool Evening Post: "Dalglish has decided to leave Liverpool. In the past six years, he has led Liverpool as a player and coach for five of them. But King Kenny is obviously tired of Merseyside. He told Liverpool's top management very clearly that he is leaving, which will shock all KOPs, but this is the fact. Dalglish also mentioned a player when communicating with the top management. He told the team that if Redondo could be introduced, it would create more opportunities for Ian Rush and Peter Beardsley."

The Sun: "Our reporter followed Van Basten. After the game, the Dutch super striker had a meal alone in the hotel. The reporter sitting next to him heard some surprising words. The striker kept talking to himself: Have you seen 4 o'clock in the morning in Genoa? Considering the relationship between that city and Dejan, it is obviously related to Dejan. Maybe this is what Dejan said to Van Basten after the game."

Bild: "Beckenbauer is keen to bring in Dejan, but the Bayern board has concerns about Dejan's salary. They don't want to pay such a high salary for any player."

"Marca": "AC Milan has proved that it is not Real Madrid's problem."

Mundo Deportivo: "Dejan's comics are finally going to be released in Europe. According to our understanding, the first limited edition not only has a book jacket drawn by Dejan himself, but also comes with gifts such as postcards, character badges, and character flash cards. We learned from the publisher that pre-sales are very good, especially in the Basque and Catalonia regions. The agent is full of confidence in the sales prospects of Pokémon in Spain, and is vigorously promoting the TV station's translation of the cartoon. I believe many game players can't wait."

The so-called first limited edition is usually an ordinary comic book with some extra gifts or book sleeves, and the price is 1.5 or even 2 times higher. Considering the cost of those small gifts, this is a very violent harvest of fans.

But this thing is for fans, and they are really willing to pay for it.

In the countries and regions where the game has been released, the sales of "Pokemon" are very encouraging. The game players are usually young people and teenagers, and are aimed at children.

It's not wrong to say it's for all ages.

There were previous newspaper reports that book lovers in the Middle East were collecting first editions from around the world.

L'Equipe: "Dejan will not miss the Ballon d'Or again this year. Judging from the current situation, Dejan has already taken the lead in the Ballon d'Or and is the biggest favorite for the 1991 Ballon d'Or."

They announced last year that they would expand the selection scope.

The editor of L'Equipe has always been paying attention to Lu Deyang.

The European Golden Ball Award is basically based on performance and honors, and Lu Deyang has achieved the ultimate in these two aspects.

There shouldn't be any problem voting.

……

"Deyang, you don't look well?"

Lana asked in surprise, "Didn't you sleep well?"

"Insomnia."

Lu Deyang said listlessly.

He didn't sleep at all.

It's already afternoon, it would be strange if I'm in good spirits.

"Have a good rest when you get home." Viljoward came over and advised: "When I won the World Cup, I also suffered from insomnia for several days. In the end, I took some medicine to fall asleep."

"Yeah, I'm really happy."

Lu Deyang yawned and said.

He fell asleep as soon as he got on the bus.

I don't even know how I got on the plane.

When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

"Morning, Diane, where's Monica?"

"She has work out shooting a commercial," said the princess.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"Do you want to drive me away?" the princess asked Lu Deyang.

"How could that be? I'm just worried about whether there will be trouble." Lu Deyang hugged her and said, "I wish I could be with you every day."

"Only you can talk."

The princess stood up and said, "Don't worry, there are no bodyguards following me now, but there are still people in secret. I made a little deal with them, and they can get double salary."

Lu Deyang gave a thumbs up.

This Mission Impossible.

Who the hell said that women in love have no brains.

This silly girl is much smarter than when we first met.

"Is there anything to eat?"

Lu Deyang asked somewhat embarrassedly.

He hasn't eaten for a long time.

"Wait a moment, I'll cook for you." The princess walked straight into the kitchen and said.

Lu Deyang just felt dazed.

I'm afraid that only the Prince of Wales can enjoy such treatment. Could it be that King Lu is the orthodox ruler of the British Empire?

Lu Deyang turned on the system.

Sure enough, I saw that the mission was completed.

[Obtained Skill: Endless Battle Roar]

Skill: Endless War Cry - As the leader of your brothers, you will certainly have ways to boost their morale. When you give a speech, it will be more effective. When you try to encourage your brothers, your brothers will soon be in high spirits and perform better both mentally and physically.

Lu Deyang: ...

This skill always feels like the halo in Warcraft 3.

I looked at it carefully several times and it didn't say that it had to be on the field.

Lu Deyang remembered one thing, Vialli had been teasing Mancini for being not very good.

How about King Lu cheering him on from across the wall?
Maybe Mancini's performance will be much better.

[We were 3 goals behind in the first half, but you encouraged your teammates very well. You inspired the whole team with the lie that the opponent opened champagne at halftime, and you equalized the game in the second half. Your header was crucial, helping the team to sound the clarion call for a counterattack, and you also encouraged Alonso, who missed the penalty, to adjust his mentality in the penalty shootout. Because of this epic reversal, you have attracted the attention of Real Madrid, but is going to the Spanish giants really good for your career? Stay with the team in the new season and win a personal honor and a championship]

You can tell it's Gerrard from this description.

Istanbul at night.

For most of Gerrard and that group of players, this was the peak of their careers.

Except Xabi Alonso doesn't count.

His subsequent career was even more splendid.

It's not surprising that the system would think so.

When it comes to the Champions League final and the Rossoneri, most people think of this game first.

The loss in this game was quite unacceptable, and the revenge a year later seemed so satisfying.

Especially that season, Milan was in a precarious situation and was penalized at the beginning.

It's hard to play in the Champions League.

Kaka secured his Ballon d'Or directly in the Champions League.

Soon the princess came to the bedside with a plate.

"Very good, I didn't expect you to cook so well."

Lu Deyang said in surprise.

"We had home economics classes when we were in school, and I dreamed of getting married early when I was little." The princess said, feeding Lu Deyang's mouth with a fork.

Lu Deyang took a bite and felt it was really good.

Considering she is British, this is unbeatable.

The pasta is not too soft and still retains its texture.

The tomatoes and diced meat taste very good too.

Lu Deyang finished his meal in just a few bites. After returning to the hotel after the Champions League final, he hardly ate anything.

"Watching you eat it makes me feel that pasta is delicious and very appetizing." The princess said with a smile.

“It’s really delicious.”

Lu Deyang reached out and held her and said.

The princess's face immediately changed and she said, "No way?"

"Yes!"

Lu Deyang reached out and pulled.

Amid her exclamation, today's hard work began again.

……

"There have been too many holidays recently, and I'm not used to it. I really want to stay at home all the time."

Back to the team, Viljoward said.

Everyone got three days off after the Champions League.

If it weren't for the Italian Cup final, we would have been on holiday by now.

"If you stay at home all the time, you will soon miss the training ground," said Mannini.

Even at the age of 28, he was still thinking about his future life.

One thing players have to face is that they may be unemployed in their 30s.

Even if you are not short of money, you still need to find something to do.

A heated discussion soon broke out on the training ground.

After winning the Champions League, everyone was a little relaxed.

The Italian Cup does not have the same status as the FA Cup in the UK. When other teams are on holiday, Sampdoria players are inevitably distracted.

The newspapers are full of news about where players from other teams are going on vacation.

In addition, it was a final that made people lose their spirits, and a free and easy atmosphere spread in the team's locker room.

Because of the tension caused by the Champions League, Sampdoria players were unable to maintain that emotion at this time.

Pezzotti said with some concern: "The children are too relaxed. If this continues, they will probably be punished by Rome."

"No problem, at worst we can just let Dejan play."

Boskov said with a smile.

Anyway, with Lu Deyang there, he is not worried that the team will lose.

Roma is difficult not because of their technical and tactical aspects, but because of their spiritual aspects.

In terms of strength, they are far inferior to AC Milan.

When he returned home later, Lu Deyang saw Bailey's familiar figure.

The Brazilian football king said in an interview with a TV station: "I watched the Champions League final, and I can only say that this is Dejan's true strength. When he gave up using his body completely and used his skills to play, he was the best Dejan. As the current top player in football, Dejan has the responsibility to use his performance to attract more fans to pay attention to football and get involved, rather than letting fans watch the game and marvel at his strength and forget about the sport. Gorgeous passing can always bring more spiritual pleasure to fans, I hope he won't forget this."

really.

Brazilians' pursuit of gorgeous football is eternal.

And it's like this from top to bottom.

This is not a wrong thing. After all, many fans became their fans because of Ronaldinho's and Ronaldinho's footwork and thus insisted on watching football games.

But how King Lu wants to play is not something he can decide.

That depends on King Lu's condition on that day.

……

Lu Deyang has been busy again these days.

On the one hand, the comic book volumes are ready to be released in Europe.

In addition, burger restaurants are also preparing to open in some major cities in Europe.

In addition, there are editors urging us to submit manuscripts, as well as some endorsements and advertisements.

Lu Deyang was captured almost every day after training.

As for who will capture them, it depends on the ability of the market operators.

They even had a fight outside the training base because of this, fighting each other in suits, and Lu Deyang had no choice but to let them draw lots, and whoever got the luckiest would shoot the commercial first. The time came to June 6th.

Sampdoria also ushered in the last game of the season.

The game was scheduled at the San Siro Stadium, which was not good news for the fans of the two Milan giants.

After losing a season, they had to watch their opponents win the championship at home.

As for Roma? They really didn't think Roma could win.

That's the way it is.

Bari's double victory over Sampdoria already annoyed them.

They don't want any other team to beat Sampdoria to win the championship.

Wouldn't that make them lose face?

Lu Deyang had just arrived in the locker room and was about to change his clothes when he heard his pager ringing.

"Wouldn't it be nice if you had time to buy a mobile phone?"

Vialli couldn't help but say.

Every time Lu Deyang needed to return a call, he had to borrow a mobile phone or find a phone on the street.

"That thing is too heavy. I'm not used to it."

Lu Deyang complained.

Even if new models are released, he still dislikes them.

At least it's about the same as when Nokia's classic models came out.

At that time, he could even send text messages blindly.

Hold the phone in your hand and operate it with one hand without looking at the keyboard.

But that's not possible if the phone is too big.

"How about I give you one?" Mancini asked.

"No, you bought Monica's car. If you are interested, we can play some games. I am willing to win some money from you."

Lu Deyang said.

"cut!"

Mancini curled his lips and pretended to be disdainful.

He wanted to get back at the plate.

Lu Deyang put the IOU in a hamburger shop for a lottery, so that the whole Apennines knew about it.

But he really can't beat Lu Deyang.

Seeing the pager keep ringing, Redondo couldn't help but ask: "Who is this? Don't you know the game is about to start?"

"Paolo Maldini, Marco van Basten... are all AC Milan players. They are afraid that we will lose to Roma." Lu Deyang said with a smile: "Everyone told me that we must win. I thought they were our fans."

"It's normal, I've been watching their games since the last defeat against Barcelona."

Pari said with a smile.

He didn't dare to talk about this in the locker room before.

But after winning the Cup Winners' Cup, no one cared so much anymore.

If there is a chance, I still want to beat Barcelona once.

"Okay, let's get ready to warm up."

Pezzotti reminded.

Lu Deyang nodded, sat down to change his equipment, and directly opened the system lottery.

[Your good brother Francesco Totti always wears the captain's armband, as if it is natural, so draw a player who wants the captain's armband but can't get it. Ding, you get the 2008-2009 season, Italian Super Cup, Roma VS Inter Milan, Daniele De Rossi single game experience card]

vice!!!
One word sums up this player.

De Rossi is really miserable.

I have waited for so many years but Totti still hasn't retired.

When he finally became the captain, he was already old and left the team not long after.

Lu Deyang very much doubted that if it weren't for his obsession with the armband, De Rossi would have left Rome long ago.

After waiting for so many years, I have finally gotten to be the captain for two seasons.

It's not a big deal for an outsider.

But De Rossi has a promising future and, like the little prince, is a product of Roma's youth training system.

De Rossi is also talented and was a forward in the youth team.

Many midfielders have similar experiences, from striker to shadow striker and then to midfielder. Manchester United's Scholes is a good example. He was still playing as a striker even when he was promoted to the first team.

In later football, there were fewer players who played from forward to midfielder.

Lu Deyang stood up and handed the captain's armband to Mancini.

Mancini asked in surprise: "Why don't you want it?"

"I'll give it to you today. This is the last game of the season."

Lu Deyang said.

Mancini looked touched.

It turns out that Dejan and he are a family.

Lu Deyang smiled and shook his head.

It always feels a bit strange to have De Rossi wearing the captain's armband.

The popularity of the two teams can be seen from their warm-up performance.

Although Roma is the team from the capital, it is not very popular among Milan fans.

Sampdoria, on the other hand, is quite popular.

Monica and the princess reappeared in the box.

The main reason was that Monica made too many small movements, and the princess didn't want to seek excitement in the stands anymore.

If it is really discovered by fans, it will be big news.

It will directly steal the limelight from the finals.

She slapped Monica in annoyance and said, "Can't you keep your hands quiet?"

Monica kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile: "You are so special. I am very happy to see you."

princess:……

What else could she say.

The two people sat closer and closer.

Monica's hand nimbly found its target.

Soon there were heavy breathing sounds in the box.

"The Sampdoria players don't look very energetic."

"After all, they won the Champions League before, so it's understandable that they are a little slack at this time. Boskov probably had this in mind when he arranged Dejan to start."

"Yes, the camera is on Francesco Totti again. I wonder which side he will support today. This young man has become a celebrity in Italy before he even played for the first team."

Rossi said with a smile.

Becoming friends with Lu Deyang immediately made you the focus of media attention.

The TV station even broadcast several games of the Roma youth team.

Totti did a really good job.

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams first."

Sampdoria 442 double defensive midfielder and double forward:
Goalkeeper: Pagliuca

Defenders: Lanner, Pellegrini, Virchowd, Mannini,

Midfielders: Lu Deyang, Redondo, Dossena, Lombardo,

Forwards: Mancini, Vialli.

Roma 442 diamond midfield:

Goalkeeper: Cervone,
Defenders: Tempestili, Nera, Aldair, Berthold,

Midfielders: Di Mauro, Grolin, Giannini, Desideri,
Forwards: Voller, Ruggiero Rizzitelli.

"Roma's diamond midfield may be Bianchi's secret tactic against Sampdoria, but the effect still needs to be verified in the game."

"Sampdoria's rising defender Materazzi did not start today, and Pellegrini returned to his position. Redondo, who was sent off in the Champions League final, still started. The Italian Football Association did not punish the midfielder for the foul in the Champions League."

"Yes, Sampdoria made some tactical adjustments today. Lombardo is back in the starting lineup."

Mancini walked to the center circle to toss a coin with Giannini.

Lu Deyang said to Dosena, "Change positions."

"I?"

Dossena asked in surprise.

"Yes, I will play in midfield today." Lu Deyang said.

"Then let Adilio go to the left, I am more comfortable playing on the right." said Dossena.

Lombardo went straight to the left.

He can play on both flanks and has no preference.

Before transferring to Samp, he was just a low-level player and the only requirement for his position was to be able to play.

This is also the idea of many low-level players, they will do whatever the first-level coach tells them to do.

Redondo looked at Lu Deyang with some surprise and said, "We are partners today, the Romans are doomed!"

"Aren't we Ottomans then?"

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"Quickly bring me my fermented grape juice."

Redondo said in a strange tone.

There was an immediate burst of laughter on the field.

It was the first time for many teammates to see Redondo do this.

At this time Mancini returned to his position.

Vialli asked: "Lost again?"

Mancini said in self-deprecation: "I may be cursed. I will go home and tell Federica that I will abstain from sex for a while to break the curse."

"You are just making excuses for your poor health!"

Vialli scoffed.

"I'll fucking kill you..."

At 7:30 p.m., referee Arcangelo Pezzella blew the whistle to start the game.

Roma, who kicked off first, was a bit cautious. After Voller passed the ball back, Giannini took the ball directly back to a deeper position, which was clearly an attempt to disrupt Sampdoria's formation.

Facing the honor of the Italian Cup final, Roma players are indeed more serious than Sampdoria players.

Vialli rushed forward to press, but Giannini passed him with just a shoulder fake, and then kicked the ball to Grolin.

Grolin passed the ball to Di Mauro on the wing, but Di Mauro was not in a hurry to rush forward with the ball.

Di Mauro passed the ball back only after Dossena went up.

Tempestili made a quick diagonal pass to find Giannini again.

Giannini rushed forward with the ball.

Redondo rushed forward to press the ball immediately, Giannini quickly passed the ball to Desideri, who passed it back without stopping, and the two completed a wall-kick cooperation.

Lu Deyang wanted to press forward.

But Giannini caught the ball a step faster.

The two men faced each other, and neither of them took the first step.

Giannini flicked the ball with his right foot, trying to lure Lu Deyang to steal the ball.

But Lu Deyang was not in a hurry at all.

Redondo chases back very quickly, and wasting time here will be more beneficial to Sampdoria.

Apparently Giannini had also thought of this. Seeing that Lu Deyang did not try to steal the ball, he directly pushed the ball and tried to force a breakthrough.

It was at this time that Lu Deyang rushed forward.

Giannini immediately passed the ball forward.

When Lu Deyang saw this action, he immediately knew it was fried meatballs.

The opponent's movements are very small, so the fried meatballs are more concealed.

Lu Deyang made a judgment almost instantly.

He chose to force Giannini to go to his left side instead of extending his foot and shifting his center of gravity.

Giannini really passed the ball to his right foot, trying to pass it past Lu Deyang.

But Redondo, who was returning to defense, made a sliding tackle from the side and cleared the ball directly.

Mannini took the ball and passed it forward quickly. Lu Deyang deliberately took a step forward while running and missed the ball, allowing the ball to go directly to Redondo.

Redondo hesitated for a moment and then moved forward with the ball.

He originally wanted to give it to Lu Deyang.

But considering that Lu Deyang didn't catch the ball, he probably had no intention of dribbling the ball.

When Giannini chased back, he realized how much trouble Lu Deyang was.

He was completely at a disadvantage in physical confrontation.

The Roma captain tried twice before giving up chasing back.

At worst, I can just stay where I am and wait for a counterattack.

Giannini, somewhat unwilling to give up, shouted at Lu Deyang's back: "The championship will not be given to you."

Lu Deyang, who was making a forward run, did not respond, but just raised his right hand and swung it backwards.

Please feel free to indicate.

As long as you can snatch it, the championship is yours.

This action made Giannini even more angry.

He just hated the way Lu Deyang always won, even though Lu Deyang really always won.

Redondo quickly slowed down with the ball.

Although he was looking at Lanner and Lombardo's side, he was observing Lu Deyang's position.

When he found Lu Deyang had reached the front court, he kicked the ball sideways without thinking and also ran to the left.

With three players on the left, Roma can't just ignore it.

Only Grolin turned and rushed towards Lu Deyang.

But it is already late.

Lu Deyang swung his arm and kicked out with his right foot.

boom--

The ball went to the middle and Mancini subconsciously squatted down for fear of being hit.

The ball flew into the penalty area past Mancini's head, and then drew an arc to the right side of the goal. By the time Cervone determined the direction, he was already too slow and could only jump out in vain and watch the ball fly into the goal.
