If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 139 The Sky Collapses (Subscription Request)
“Faster…faster!”

"It will be a huge joke if we can't find you during the award ceremony later." Monica joked.

Lu Deyang glared at her fiercely.

If you hadn't been messing around, how could she do this?

When King Lu Qiu saw this scene as soon as he entered the room, it was as if the heroine in a martial arts novel had been drugged.

If Monica were put in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", her rank would definitely be higher than Xu Zhimo's.

Monica stuck out her tongue and applied to join the team.

The game was once more intense than on the football field.

Along with devout prayers, God's name was constantly called out.

But Britain is a Protestant territory, and I don’t know whether the Vatican recognizes her as a Christian.

"The timing is just right, the game is almost over."

Monica pointed down and said, "You've been getting faster and faster lately."

Lu Deyang: ...

No.

So exciting and intense.

Is this time still short?

More than 40 minutes on Tieba is almost equivalent to the total time of a yellow card on Tieba.

Lu Deyang stood up, tidied himself up and went downstairs.

King Lu really doesn't waste any of his time.

Before receiving the award after playing in the final, you must also make your own contribution to the European royal family.

After washing his hands thoroughly in the bathroom and finding no odor, Lu Deyang walked to the entrance of the passage.

The game is coming to an end.

Roma players kept committing fouls on the field to vent their depression, while Sampdoria players were still trying to control their emotions.

The referee kept looking at his watch while holding the whistle.

beep,
beep,
beep—

In the 93rd minute, as Redondo tackled the ball from Voller's feet, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Sampdoria players quickly rushed to the sidelines, and Lu Deyang walked into the stadium with a smile.

Before he could react, he was grabbed by Mancini and Vialli, and then the whole team rushed over.

The next second, accompanied by the slogan of "one, two, throw", Lu Deyang was thrown into the night sky of Milan again and again.

“Four-time champion!!!”

“Four-time champion!!!”

“Four-time champion!!!”

Many neutral fans also shouted along.

Today, they witnessed history again at San Siro, a stadium full of honors.

Champions League, European Super Cup, Serie A, Italian Cup, an unprecedented quadruple crown.

Sampdoria won seven championships in two years.

Lu Deyang's performance deserves all the praise. In this team that is crazy about harvesting championships, the players' performance proves who is the absolute hero behind Sampdoria's rise.

In the stands.

Monica and the princess' eyes were about to be drawn.

No matter how much courtesy and praise you receive, you will still yearn to be a hero under the spotlight.

The frenzy at San Siro has raised the temperature in the city of Milan.

If Milan had not prepared a large number of police officers to provide security on the scene, Sampdoria fans would have rushed into the stadium long ago.

An emotion greater than joy fills the hearts of every Sampdoria fan.

The sense of achievement that comes from conquering Europe with the team is incomparable to anything else.

What's more, this is their local team.

A star player's influence can make them do anything, and those fans who say they'd like their girlfriends to practice their skills with the team's heroes are not just talking.

"I said shortly after the start that Roma is here to fight for the runner-up position today."

Rossi smiled and said: "At least they are not considered a failure, after all, they lost to the strongest team in Italian history. Perhaps only the Torino team can compete with Dejan's Genoa. But if Dejan's teammates were replaced by players from the Torino Gods team, they would be the strongest team in the universe."

"Sampdoria's players should be thankful that almost all of their Italian players are world champions, except for Lombardo. The two years they spent as teammates with Dejan allowed them to win countless honors at the club level, which will elevate their historical status to a higher level. When they retire, fans will compare the players' honors and be amazed that some unknown players have won so many championships."

"Paul, your requirements are too high. Sampdoria's main players are still quite good."

"Maybe, but I always feel that they are a little bit lacking next to Dejan. Maybe midfielders like Baggio, Donadoni and Redondo are more suitable to partner with Dejan."

"No team can afford to pay that much, Paul."

What Rossi said about the lineup is good, but it is also difficult to deal with too many big names.

Salary is a big hurdle.

It's not so bad for defensive players. These days, defensive players generally have low salaries. Even defenses of the level of Inter Milan and AC Milan don't have very high salaries.

But if there are too many big-name offensive players, then the salary will explode.

Baggio and Ludjan are two of the three highest paid people in Serie A, the other one is Maradona.

Even with the boss' investment, few teams can put together such a terrifying lineup.

After Roma received the award.

The entire Sampdoria team quickly went on stage to receive the award.

Italian Football Association President Nizzola's eyes were narrowed by laughter.

He doesn't understand what traffic is.

But Sampdoria's attention in Serie A has definitely benefited from it.

If Sampdoria wasn't so strong, he would have asked the referee to give Sampdoria some consideration.

In recent years, Serie A itself is the first league.

Plus Lu Deyang and Sampdoria.

Nizzola felt that it was inevitable that he would become the greatest Italian Football Association president in history.

"Roberto, congratulations!"

After Mancini lowered his head, Nizzola smiled and helped him put on the medal.

When it was Lu Deyang's turn, Nizola immediately stepped forward, stood on tiptoe to help Lu Deyang put on the medal and said, "I knew I would see you on the podium again, Deyang. Congratulations on your great achievement."

“I couldn’t do it on my own without my teammates.”

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Nizzola nodded and said, "What you said is very good. The Italian players should really listen to you."

Mancini's eyes were rolling to the sky.

It was the first time he had seen such a flattering Nezora.

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded, then left with his teammates.

The entire Sampdoria team raised the trophy again. Lu Deyang immediately grabbed the Italian Football Association official and complained: "Can't you prepare a championship arch?"

Compared with other leagues, Serie A is like a makeshift team.

Even if there were no economic problems, it would only be a matter of time before we were surpassed by the Premier League.

"Take your family out to celebrate today. Mr. Mantovani should have told you in advance, right?" Pagliuca asked.

"Is it still the Astor Hotel?"

Vialli asked.

"Yes, that's right there."

Pagliuca said.

Lu Deyang also knew that hotel.

In the past, Samp would even call the entire team to Astor to stay overnight before home games to maintain their form.

The season he transferred, this tradition was temporarily cancelled due to protests from the players' wives. In addition, King Lu guaranteed the team's victory, so the players would no longer be gathered together before home games.

However, this hotel still has special meaning for the whole team.

After the whole team thanked the fans and had a brief interaction, most players gave their jerseys to the fans.

After changing clothes, the whole team went to the hotel together.

A little after 11 o'clock is not too late for Italians.

The Astor Hotel is not too luxurious.

But because it is the official hotel of Sampdoria, it is now becoming more famous.

At the end and beginning of the season, visitors are always informed that some hotel facilities may not be available.

After all, it’s impossible for them to disturb the first-team gathering.

The hotel had already prepared drinks and food.

Sampdoria, who had just finished the final, were all wearing casual clothes, but their female companions were dressed up and beautiful. After all, they might be captured by the camera at any time in the stands.

Mantovani took the stage amid the players' cheers.

The old chairman was very popular with the players. He took the microphone and said: "Everyone has worked hard, so have a good day!"

There was immediate applause from the audience.

The game had just finished and no one wanted to listen to a long speech.

Kroos complained about the old guys at Bayern because they liked to give speeches in the hotel after the game.

Lu Deyang became the busiest person.

Virgil sat on Lu Deyang's left, and Curly was on his right.

Paul could only stand by holding Filippo.

"I have been spotted by the Andorinha team and I will soon become a player," Curly said with some pride.

"That's great. Remember to transfer here and be my teammate in the future."

Lu Deyang rubbed his dog's head and said.

Although the little Curly resisted, how could a kid who wasn't even in primary school possibly fight against adults?
Virgil snickered on the side.

He has never liked this little brat, who is young but very arrogant.

"Francisco isn't here?"

Lu Deyang asked, after he had asked Virgil to call Totti to celebrate together.

"He's afraid that his father will beat him if he's found out, although he doesn't admit it." Virgil said disdainfully, "I'm not afraid of my father beating me."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Lu Deyang said, looking behind Virgil.

This child is born with a sarcastic temperament.

Even though Dosena didn't say anything, that stingy guy would definitely find a chance to beat Virgil up.

It’s a pity that little Henry is not here.

Otherwise, you can watch the "friendly" interaction between him and Curly.

When Ronaldo was young, he was sensitive and proud. It was difficult for him to make friends unless his peers took the initiative to show kindness to him.

"Cristiano, last time you admitted that I was the boss."

Lu Deyang said.

"I, I forgot."

Curly said.

"Okay, I still want to give you a chance to beat me once." Lu Deyang said.

Curly was fooled, and asked anxiously, "Comparison of what?"

"Who has more friends than me?"

Lu Deyang said: "I'll give you two years. If you can have more friends than me, you will be the boss in the future."

"Really?"

Curly asked excitedly.

"Of course!"

Lu Deyang stretched out his little finger.

The young Ronaldo hooked his little finger with Lu Deyang.

The two half-grown children, Paul and Virgil, rolled their eyes wildly.

I just feel that the Portuguese boy is too stupid.

Not counting the players, Lu Deyang has many friends in Genoa, maybe dozens, hundreds or even more.

They both saw Lu Deyang chatting with ordinary citizens of Genoa on the street.

No one can beat Lu Deyang in this aspect.

"Dejan is really loved by the kids. Don't you have any plans?"

The princess asked, nudging Monica with her arm.

"He did say that, but I feel it's too early. Becoming a father at the age of 20 is too cruel for him," Monica said with a smile.

Lu Deyang himself is very busy.

It seemed as if the whole world needed him.

She was afraid that Lu Deyang’s body wouldn’t be able to handle the situation if there was another child in the family.

Taking care of children takes a lot of time.

"It's a bit cruel indeed."

The princess took a sip of red wine and nodded.

It’s hard to imagine what it would be like for Lu Deyang to ride a bicycle with a child in his arms.

"Do you feel that the relationship between the princess and Deyang is not simple?"

Mancini asked in a low voice.

Vialli rolled his eyes.

Did you just know?

"Don't make it known." Vialli raised his eyebrows.

Mancini nodded vigorously.

Federica watched from the side and felt something was wrong.

At this time, Redondo kicked Mancini's stool and said, "Don't make blind guesses about things without evidence, and don't say them out loud."

"Tsk, I didn't tell anyone."

Mancini waved his hand and said.

Soon, a drinking contest started in the restaurant.

None of the Sampdoria players were alcoholics, which was rare in football in the 90s.

A few years later, the first thing the professor did when he arrived at Arsenal was to persuade captain Adams to quit drinking and not drink in the locker room.

But when I'm happy, I still drink some.

Viljoward held the bottle of Red Star Vodka in his hand and shouted, "We need some strong liquor. Sparkling wine is only drunk by women. Don't use sparkling wine to make up the number."

Mannini and Dossena immediately gave him the middle finger.

Not everyone can drink strong alcohol.

"I come!"

At this time, Lanner went over, snatched the bottle which was still a quarter full in Viljoward's hand, and drank it in one breath.

boom--

There was an immediate burst of applause in the restaurant.

Lu Deyang stood up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and went to pull Lana away.

That silly boy is going to the hospital soon.

That one bite weighed about half a pound.

Who the hell drinks liquor like that? I've never seen it except the Soviets.

"He can only be a hero for a short while."

Virgil complained as he looked at Lanner, who was already lying on the table.

"Don't say that. Marco only made a mistake once."

Lu Deyang said unhappily.

Lanna is really not easy.

So much time had passed that even the teenage children looked down on him.

If it were a player with poor mental quality, he might really become depressed.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Lanna is extremely determined and is a man who can accomplish great things.

"You know the rules and so do I, A full commitment's what I'm thinking of..."

The speakers played accompaniment and tuneless singing.

Lu Deyang almost thought he was looking at Ruizhan.

"Never Gonna Give You Up" is called the "scam song" mainly because in 2007 someone released a trailer for a so-called new game, but when you clicked it, you saw Rick Eisley singing and dancing.

Soon, countless similar scam videos emerged, and the song became popular again because of this incident.

You are looking forward to watching the new trailer, but you find an old guy singing and dancing there, just like downloading all the works of Momonogi overnight and then you click on "The Legend of White Snake".

This song sounds very rhythmic, but it is actually a love song.

All over the world, songs about love are the most popular.

This style of music is still quite popular nowadays.

Many Sampdoria players were twisting their bodies.

"I'm going home first."

Lu Deyang quietly stood up, waved to the curly-haired boy and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back to the hotel."

The little curly-haired boy rubbed his eyes and hurried over.

A 6-year-old would have been sleepy by this time.

But he didn't want to be looked down upon, so he just stayed awake.

Lu Deyang took him for only two steps when he realized something was wrong. He turned around and immediately bent down to hold the little curly-haired boy in his arms.

Monica pouted at the princess and said, "Dejan has always liked that little guy, and I have no idea why."

“There aren’t that many reasons.”

The princess said as she stood up with a smile, quickly following Monica.

"Hey Jude don't be afraid, You were made to go out and get her..."

When I walked to Lu Deyang, I heard him humming this song.

……

The next day, the Sampdoria team finally felt relieved.

After that, you can have a day off as long as you participate in the Four Crowns Parade.

After daybreak, just as Lu Deyang went to bed, the landline at home kept ringing.

"Hello... Mr. Mantovani? Going to China to play a friendly match? Of course, you can arrange it." Lu Deyang said in a daze.

I don't know when the person on the other end hung up the phone.

Lu Deyang fell headfirst onto the pillow.

He has indeed been lacking rest in recent times.

When I woke up again, it was already dark.

"Mr. Mantovani called again just now. The British want to invite you to attend the opening ceremony of the World University Games." Monica said when she saw Lu Deyang wake up.

"As long as the time is okay."

Lu Deyang asked, "Where is Dai An?"

"Back to England."

Monica continued, "Your editor called and told you to attend some book signings and forget about taking a vacation in the summer."

Lu Deyang stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

Opening new stores and book signings.

Plus sponsor activities.

He may be even busier on his days off than during the season.

……

6 month 11 day.

noon.

Lu Deyang and his teammates gathered again at the Ferraris Stadium.

This championship parade was even more grand than previous ones, and a lot of police forces were even deployed from Milan early on.

In addition to local fans, they also have to deal with a large number of tourists.

Even UEFA President Johansson came to the stadium to congratulate the Sampdoria team before leaving.

The parade started and ended at the Ferraris Stadium.

The biggest purpose of walking around the city is to display Samp's four trophies.

It can also be said to be a show of muscles.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the whole team boarded the bus. As the bus moved slowly, the fans immediately burst into amazing enthusiasm.

They kept shouting the names of the first-team players on both sides of the cordon.

The Sky TV helicopter was hovering over the bus.

There are quite a lot of fans across Europe who want to see this scene, and Sky TV spent a lot of money to beat Canale5 to get the live broadcast rights.

The reporter said to the camera: "Now Sampdoria's parade has begun. Dejan, Mancini and other important players are holding trophies and showing them to the fans. This season Sampdoria has won four championships, the team with the most championships in Europe, and naturally the most prominent team. Today Dejan is wearing a denim jacket and casual clothes. I have a feeling that similar clothes will become popular again..."

Merlo was watching the Sampdoria team showing off their skills on TV and felt extremely envious.

If he has so much public support, he won't have to worry about whether he can go further.

It has to be said that any player from Sampdoria is more popular than him, the mayor of Genoa.

Maybe the assistant coach named Pezzotti would get more votes than him if he ran for election.

Merlo could only sigh.

The influence of football is really fucking huge.

He immediately picked up the phone and called his secretary in, saying, "Get the honorary citizenship done before the new season starts."

"Is it just Dejan?"

the secretary asked.

"Idiot, many people in Sampdoria are qualified. Let's arrange Sampdoria's foreign personnel first this time." Merlo said.

This thing itself is an honor.

Italians who were not born in Genoa can also obtain it.

But granting it to too many people at once would seem like a joke.

……

Buffon, who came to Genoa for the first time, wanted to rush onto the bus to show himself, but he didn't expect there were so many people on the streets of Genoa that it was difficult for him to move.

The young player Buffon could only wave his hands and shouted: "Dejan, Dejan, my name is Gianluigi Buffon, I want to play for Sampdoria..."

It's just that the place was too noisy and his voice couldn't be recognized at all.

Buffon could only wave his hands like crazy, but no Sampdoria player noticed him.

As the bus slowly drove away, Buffon lowered his arms in disappointment.

But he immediately cheered up again.

Such a small setback could not defeat him at all. Joining Sampdoria would mean becoming a quadruple champion, an honor that even Maradona had never achieved. Of course, he would not give up.

Buffon decided to go back and plan carefully, and then find an opportunity to recommend himself to Sampdoria.

At around 7pm the bus returned to the Ferraris Stadium.

Even though the stadium was expanded for the World Cup, it is still unable to accommodate all fans.

Except for season ticket holders, local fans and tourists can only get admission by lottery.

If you are unlucky, you can only stand outside the stadium or find a bar in Genoa to watch the live broadcast.

Sampdoria has always been simple and warm in style.

Chairman Mantovani thoughtfully prepared small pizzas and drinks for the fans.

There were no guest performers.

He and the coaching staff followed the first team out on the field.

Such a simple method still won cheers from many fans.

As long as there are results, the fans don’t care about the form of the celebration. Even if Mancini brings Filippo to the stadium and makes him shit on the spot, the fans will cheer.

Mantovani took the microphone from the staff and said: "After I came to Genoa and bought Sampdoria, I promised to lead the team to a bright future. Some people did not agree with my transfer strategy and thought we should introduce stars like Zico and Maradona. I was also very nervous in my heart. Fortunately, time has proved that there is no problem with our transfer strategy. I have kept my promise..."

Mantovani choked up a little when he said this.

After all, those who spend money and still get scolded are the ones who truly love the team.

Many Serie A bosses want to make money through their teams.

There is a huge gap here.

“…Thank you Deyang, thank you Wu Jiading, and thank you for sitting here.”

After a few seconds, Mantovani continued.

There was warm applause.

Lu Deyang and his teammates were also applauding.

Almost everyone in the first team has received help from Mr. Mantovani, and everyone likes this boss who discusses things with the players.

I have never heard of any other team chairman discussing the jersey style for next season with the players.

He put the players on an equal footing and never felt that he was superior to the players because he was the owner of the club, which made everyone respect Mantovani.

"Go ahead, coach."

"Yes, boss, it's your turn!"

The first team cheered.

Boskov was pushed to the middle of the court by Pagliuca and Mancini and took the microphone from Mantovani.

Boskov thought for dozens of seconds before picking up the microphone and saying, "I don't know what to say, because I just had a fantastic season, which makes it impossible for me to comment. I really want to say that my work is worthy of the team's results, but the team's results are too good, better than I expected. I don't think my job is so good, so I don't think the team's results are all my credit. Here I want to thank the first-team players and the fans who have always supported us, thank you!!!"

The first-team players all went over and said a few words.

After Mancini finished speaking, he handed the microphone directly to Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang looked around the Ferraris Stadium and said: "Before transferring to Sampdoria, I never thought I would play here. I feel the enthusiasm and support in this city, and I have gained more than I have given. My pursuit of the championship is far from over. Like everyone else, I want to continue the glory of this season, so don't worry, we will still fight for honor next season. Whether it is Serie A, Coppa Italia, Champions League or Toyota Cup, we will not give up on any of them, this is my guarantee."

Boom——"Sheng Deyang!!!"

"Holy Dejan!!!"

"Holy Dejan!!!"

Sampdoria fans were so enthusiastic that they wanted to rush into the stadium to get close to their idol.

"Fans like to call Dejan that lately."

Vialli said, looking towards the stands.

"Who made him Dejan?"

Mancini said calmly.

Vialli looked at his friend in surprise. Mancini was not normal.

Mancini felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him and could only explain: "When you set your opponent as Baggio, you still have hope of catching up. When you meet Dejan, you'd better pray that he is your teammate."

Vialli nodded in agreement.

He didn't even dare to think about how terrible it would be to be an opponent of Lu Deyang.

Inter Milan last season, AC Milan this season.

The two Milan giants were defeated by Sampdoria in various competitions, but each of them knew very well that it was because Sampdoria was so strong because of Lu Dejan, not because Lu Dejan joined an incredibly strong team.

Now, the biggest wish of these players who have played for Sampdoria for several years is to play against Barcelona.

They are still upset about losing the Cup Winners' Cup final.

Finally, the celebration ended with the whole team sliding down on their knees passionately.

After Monica finished filming the commercial, she immediately flew to Berlin with Lu Deyang to cut the ribbon for the new store. They also went with her, as Redondo had nothing to do during the holidays.

Originally, Lu Deyang invited Lanna.

But Lanner plans to spend his summer at the burger joint.

When leaving Berlin for Catalonia.

Monica turned her head to look at Redondo on Lu Deyang's left and said, "Fernando, don't you want to find a girlfriend?"

"I am a person who values feelings. If a woman does not have enough depth of thought, I cannot accept it," said Redondo.

Monica: ...

Are you still looking for someone to study humanities and philosophy with you at home?

She didn't know how to refute this and could only look out the window.

Luckily, the flight wasn’t long, so Redondo had to stay in a hotel by himself during the rest period.

After the book signing the next day, I rushed to Bilbao.

In this way, the three of them spent most of their time on the plane.

When they arrived in London and met the princess, Monica threw herself into her arms and cried, "I'm so tired during this period. I want to live with you, not Dejan."

The princess looked at Monica in her arms, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

But she didn't dare to make any big moves in the UK.

There are more than a dozen people holding cameras at the airport right now.

This was when neither Lu Deyang nor she disclosed their itinerary.

"Let's go, my driver has two cars."

The princess said, "London is your last stop anyway, so there's no need to work so hard."

Lu Deyang and Redondo followed them out and got into another car.

Monica immediately leaned over to the princess's ear and said, "When will you invite us to Buckingham Palace? We'll do something interesting in Buckingham Palace."

The princess immediately glared at Monica.

She knew very well that since Monica said that, she really wanted to do it.

She didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like to do something like that in Buckingham Palace.

Buckingham Palace was full of staff.

The two of them laughed and joked in the car.

On another car.

The radio was playing news about English football.

"It is said that the Manchester United coach has a strong interest in Alan Shearer and he really wants to bring Shearer to the Theatre of Dreams. After winning the Cup Winners' Cup, the Scottish coach wants to pursue more honors..."

"Our Super Cup opponent is Manchester United, right, Dejan?"

Redondo asked.

"Well, Manchester United are difficult to deal with."

Lu Deyang nodded and said.

That was Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, who were on their third rise.

Manchester United will be one of the strongest teams in Europe for a long time to come.

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of them. Is it because of that coach?" Redondo asked.

"Yes, Mr Ferguson is very talented. When he coached Aberdeen, he beat Real Madrid in the final. If you must compare, you can understand it as winning many championships with Lanus and winning the Toyota Cup."

"This metaphor is really vivid. I understood it immediately."

Redondo said with a smile.

At this moment, the voice on the radio changed, and the radio host quickly said: "Just now, after a long period of preparation, the Slovenian and Croatian authorities simultaneously declared independence..."

Lu Deyang sat up straight. He knew that the Yugoslav civil war had begun...
