If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 141 Do you want to come to Dream Theater (Subscription Request)
"Dejan, I thought you two left early."

Redondo said in surprise.

He has been waiting at the door for more than half an hour.

Including the time for visiting and experiencing, it was almost two hours.

"I just had something to do, so I found a quiet place to answer the phone." Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Redondo nodded and said, "You have to be careful with reporters in the UK. I heard that every citizen in London will provide tips to the newspapers."

Monica: ...

Doesn’t this person question what Lu Deyang said?

Her boyfriend doesn't even have a cell phone.

Although she had it, how could she call her to find Lu Deyang?

Then it shouldn't be answering the phone, but returning the call.

"Does it feel interesting?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"Well, it's very good. It seems to be the place where Sherlock Holmes lived. They have put a lot of effort into the details. The British have a decent attitude in order to make money."

Redondo said.

"I think it's good, too. Especially the bullet hole with the two letters VR. It looks like it was made with an old-fashioned gun."

Lu Deyang said.

This detail comes from the movie "Sherlock Holmes", in which Holmes got bored and shot the name of the person he admired on the wall with a gun.

“Yes, I feel I did a good job too!”

Redondo nodded excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Deyang noticed it when he answered the phone.

"Who is VR?" Monica asked.

She is not very interested in detective novels.

"Victoria I. Holmes was a patriot."

Lu Deyang said.

"He has no vision in this regard. I doubt even hell would dare to take her in. There are 2 million people there," Redondo complained.

In Argentina, newspapers devoted special attention to the queen's military achievements.

This is the strongest KD in human history.

From India to the British Isles, her medals of honor are everywhere.

"It should be about the same."

Lu Deyang nodded and said.

The seven famines in India alone cost almost nine figures.

Ireland lost half of its territory, plus Britain had so many colonies.

In this respect, Oppenheimer's atomic bomb is far behind him. Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined are not even a fraction of his. Even if he becomes rich, his son still lacks the foundation.

On the way to the restaurant, Lu Deyang and Redondo kept talking about the bad things the British had done.

Redondo had not expected that there would be so much that was not written in the daily reports in Argentine newspapers.

"Dejan, you know so much!"

Redondo exclaimed sincerely.

Lu Deyang smiled and waved his hand.

It’s not that he knows a lot, it’s that there are many bigwigs on the Internet.

Once a quarrel breaks out, people can find any literature and directly start a thread to popularize science for you. This is the most interesting part of Tieba. You can learn all kinds of random knowledge there.

And there is no need to worry about being wrong, as as soon as you say something wrong someone will jump out to correct you.

Then it wasn’t much fun anymore.

The restaurant Lu Deyang chose is in the West End of London.

It was Kettner's, which opened in 1867, a restaurant founded by Napoleon III's chef.

It is better to eat foreign food in the UK.

Edward VII loved to eat French food here, and it is likely that he just couldn't stand the potatoes stolen from Ireland.

“I heard that Oscar Wilde is also a frequent visitor here.”

Redondo said.

He likes buildings with some history.

"Yes, Agatha Christie is also a frequent visitor," said Lu Deyang.

"First we visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum, then we go to the restaurant that Agatha Christie liked." Redondo said with a smile, "I feel like I can write a detective novel when I return to the hotel."

"It's fine if you have ideas. When electronic devices were not so advanced, detective novels could be written," said Lu Deyang.

When the streets are full of cameras in the future, there will no longer be a need for detectives.

Dinner started soon after.

The appetizer was some oysters and bread, followed by the restaurant's famous fish soup.

Lei Dongduo was intoxicated by the drink. Lu Deyang really didn't sing that it tasted good. He didn't really like the taste of thyme. And he felt that Lei Dongduo was drinking the historical heritage, which is what literary youth like.

Just today I frequently get involved with detectives.

If someone sells a fake detective novel later, they might be able to fool Redondo.

The main atmosphere is set here.

Shopping also requires atmosphere.

However, Lu Deyang quite liked the main course of beef bourguignon.

As long as meat is cooked carefully, it is hard not to taste good.

Moreover, the taste of this stew is indeed very rich, and the acidity of the sauce is just right. The century-old shop does have some tricks.

"Why aren't you eating, Monica?"

Redondo asked.

"I have to eat less at night to keep in shape, otherwise Dejan will abandon me soon." Monica said with a smile, supporting her chin with both hands.

"You always say that. Aren't you afraid that it will come true one day?"

Lu Deyang said this, but he reached out and took Monica's plate.

Redondo curled his lips, feeling a little troubled.

In Argentina, he rarely saw women taking the initiative to lose weight, nor did he see many women who were too fat.

When the dessert came, Monica started eating again.

"I asked the hotel to help me book tickets in advance. Let's go to the opera next."

Lu Deyang said.

This restaurant is right next to the Prince Edward Theatre.

"Okay!"

Redondo nodded and said, "I didn't expect you like opera, Dejan."

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded.

He had little interest in opera, but he guessed that Redondo would like it.

There is no need to say that you don't like spoiling the fun at this time.

Some people clearly don't refuse, but they keep complaining.

In the end, I did a lot of work and helped a lot, and I didn't fall behind.

Either just refuse or don't complain, this has always been Lu Deyang's principle.

As long as you don't refuse, don't be the one who stirs up trouble.

And Monica was also interested.

It is not surprising that an Italian girl who has studied art with her mother since childhood likes opera.

The three of them watched a movie of "Mamma Mia" before returning to the hotel.

The actors’ performance was outstanding, and Lu Deyang still thought it was pretty good.

After a short tour the next day.

Lu Deyang started another book signing session.

Harrods spent 70 pounds to have the organizer hold the autograph session for King Lu in this place known as the best shopping mall in the world.

"I'm obviously just an extra, and I have to get up early in the morning to put on makeup."

Monica complained.

He came to the mall just for Lu Deyang and even spent 20 yuan to take photos of her shopping in the mall.

"For money's sake."

Lu Deyang said with a smile and kissed her on the face.

"Damn it, my makeup is ruined!"

Monica smiled.

Lu Deyang was still dressed in a shirt, jeans and sneakers, but when he left the room, he saw Redondo wearing his bank card.

A neat handmade suit, even a classic four-piece suit.

Both the cufflinks and the watch are inlaid with diamonds.

Custom leather shoes from Florentine brand Stefano Bemer, just a pair of shoes costs tens of thousands of dollars.

This guy has a very heavy idol burden.

Lu Deyang joked: "Don't you want to find a hairdresser?"

"Forget it, my hairdresser doesn't have time. I called him last night." Redondo said seriously.

He plays football for Samp, but goes to Milan to get his hair cut.

Over there is his favorite barber shop.

Lu Deyang nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

There's nothing wrong with a man being a little refined.

What's wrong with making so much money to spend on yourself?

"Come on, I'm dressed like your assistant."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"World-famous cartoonists don't need to use external things to adorn themselves," Redondo also said with a smile.

As soon as the three of them walked out, reporters surrounded them.

"Dejan, where did you go after you arrived in London?"

"The Sun reported that you visited the Sherlock Holmes Museum, is that right?"

"Michael Jackson just passed away. Do you like his songs?"

"Do you have any plans to play in England, Dejan?"

"..."

The hotel staff and mall security stopped the reporters, and the three of them got into the car before they breathed a sigh of relief.

Redondo said with lingering fear: "I always feel that British journalists are not ordinary fanatical."

"Your feeling is correct. Fleet Street is no match for Italian journalists."

Lu Deyang nodded and said.

The craziest and most unscrupulous journalists in the world are all in fucking Britain.

What constrains the wiretapping scandal is technological progress, not the bottom line of journalists.

A cordon had already been set up at the entrance of the shopping mall, but a dense crowd of people could still be seen.

Redondo couldn't help but exclaimed: "There are so many people, more than when we won the championship."

"Dejan is very popular in England."

Monica said with pride.

Winning Maradona was just an opportunity.

The main reason is Lu Deyang’s own excellence.

Whether it is character, appearance, or clothing and behavior, they are all worthy of pursuit by young people.

So what if Alan Shearer is a British star?
No Englishman, not blind, could say that Hiller was more handsome than Ludjan.

There is also the princess and those English legends praising him behind the scenes. Lu Deyang is the most influential player in England who does not play in League One.

The Three Musketeers and the Troika are useless even if they are added together.

The British media’s ability to create idols is unmatched in Europe.

The England national team is so awesome that they can be touted as the favorite, not to mention that Lu Deyang can stand the test in all aspects.

In order to deal with possible security issues, the mall simply arranged eight bodyguards in tuxedos to escort the car, and King Lu Qiu also enjoyed the treatment of General Jin.

As the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the mall, the crowd immediately burst into thunderous cheers.

"Dejan!!!"

"Ahhhh...Dejan!"

Even through the glass, I could feel their enthusiasm.

Monica covered her mouth and snickered, saying, "Those girls wanted to kick me out and stand by you."

"Maybe." Lu Deyang said, "But I am superficial and only like pretty girls. No one on earth can beat you in this respect."

Monica smiled even more happily.

Redondo felt like he shouldn't be in the car, he opened the door and got out from the front and was almost caught in the face by those fanatical fans.

Lu Deyang and Monica got out of the car and quickly walked into the mall.

There were already so many people outside the door, and there was even a long queue inside the mall.

Monica gloated and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to work hard again today, so I won't accompany you."

After saying that, she walked straight towards the princess who was waiting there, and the two of them held hands and started shopping in the mall.

Lu Deyang and Redondo were guided to a table by the mall staff.

"Can you prepare some refreshments for my friend?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"No problem at all."

The staff left immediately.

"Actually, I can just sit here and read a book."

Redondo said.

Lu Deyang gave a thumbs up and said, "I heard that a great man also read in a noisy environment when he was young. People who can remain undisturbed in such an environment are amazing."

Redondo immediately touched the back of his head and smiled. The TV station's reporters had already set up their full equipment before the book signing event began.

The female reporter stood in front of the camera and said, "We are now inside Harrods. Dejan, Monica and his teammates have already arrived at the mall. There is a long queue inside the mall, and a large number of enthusiastic fans have gathered outside the mall. The big screen specially prepared by the mall is playing the scene of Dejan saving people, which undoubtedly makes the fans more excited... Next, we will interview Dejan before the book signing event."

"Dejan, is this your first time in the UK?"

The female reporter walked up and asked.

"Yes, first time."

"What is your impression of London?" the reporter asked.

"London is rich in history. You can feel the flavor of the Industrial Revolution in the air. The fans and readers are also very enthusiastic. I like it here very much."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

If English Football League One wasn't so bad, he would have thought of playing football in the UK.

The British are still rich these days.

Thirty years from now, the British will be shocked to find that their wages have hardly increased, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been relying on tax cuts to attract wealthy immigrants from all over the world to produce beautiful financial statements.

"Really? What do you think of the British teams?"

the reporter asked.

"I have watched Manchester United's games. They are very strong. Mr. Alex Ferguson is very talented and has excellent coaching skills. He knows very well how to use the players in his hands and maximize their characteristics. He also knows what kind of football he wants. Manchester United will be a tough opponent in the Champions League next season."

Lu Deyang said.

"You think too highly of them, the champions of English Football League One in the past two years were Liverpool and Arsenal."

said the female reporter.

Lu Deyang smiled and shook his head.

Sir Alex Ferguson's start was indeed not very good.

Even after winning the FA Cup and Cup Winners' Cup in a row, they were still not favored.

But the whole world will soon witness the Red Devils Manchester United's resurgence.

Lu Deyang said: "Maybe, but I like Manchester United better. Mr. Ferguson led Aberdeen to beat Real Madrid. He can also beat Real Madrid with Manchester United."

"Are you saying that Manchester United are already stronger than Real Madrid?"

The female reporter asked excitedly.

Lu Deyang silently rolled his eyes and said, "I mean that under the coaching of Mr. Ferguson, Manchester United has this potential, not now."

Seeing that Lu Deyang didn't want to answer, Redondo closed the King Lear in his hand and said, "The interview ends here. If you want to interview Deyang, you can make an appointment in advance."

The female reporter took a step back after seeing the somewhat aggressive Redondo and said to the camera: "Dejan's teammates have a bad attitude. He is an Argentine player, maybe that's why."

Redondo watched from a distance and complained: "Women should not be allowed to host sports programs. They don't know anything."

"Be careful of being overheard."

Lu Deyang reminded with a smile.

Although the movement in the early 80s has now reached its low point, they have made a comeback.

Lu Deyang had seen videos on this topic made by UP hosts on Bilibili before.

He had previously read the article “Becoming the Third Wave” by the black American female writer in the newspaper.

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid."

Redondo said indifferently.

He even rejected the national team and was scolded in Argentina. Is he still afraid of those people?
"Be careful anyway."

Lu Deyang sat down and stretched his wrists.

Looking at the teams today, I’m afraid it will take a long time to sign.

The book signing started at 10 a.m., and the first person to come up with a book was a young boy.

With red hair and freckles on the nose, he excitedly said to Lu Deyang: "Deyang, I have always been your idol. No, I am your fan, and I am also your reader..."

"It's okay. Speak slowly."

Lu Deyang smiled and comforted.

"I've been watching your game, and my friend brought me some comics a while ago. Your comics are amazing, and I really want a partner like Pikachu!" said the boy.

"Yes, I want it too."

Lu Deyang said.

"faster!"

Someone behind urged.

The boy then handed over the comic and said, "McDonald, my name is John MacDonald."

Lu Deyang immediately wrote in Scottish grammar: "I wish my dear reader John will wake up with a smile every day in the future."

The "Mike" in his last name means someone's son in Scots, just like the Croatian "XXchi" and Manchester United's McTominay, which means Tomina's son. In Irish, the "o'" also has this function, such as Manchester United's O'Shea. Lu Deyang did some homework before coming to the UK.

If you want to reap the benefits, you must integrate into the local culture.

The more attention you pay to detail, the more loyal these leeks will be.

In a place like the UK with complex bloodlines, this seems even more sincere.

"thanks, thanks!"

The boy left excitedly holding the book.

The next girl rushed directly to Lu Deyang, and Redondo quickly reached out and covered her mouth with the copy of King Lear.

There was a burst of laughter from the back of the team.

Lu Deyang gave him a grateful look.

He really is worthy of being King Lu’s good brother.

The readers who followed were much more obedient, probably because Redondo was more intimidating.

He was wearing all these designer brands and he gave off the vibe of a bodyguard.

At noon, Lu Deyang even signed autographs while eating his lunch box, which moved the readers to tears.

"Deyang, you can actually take a break."

Redondo persuaded.

"It's okay, this is what I should do."

Lu Deyang said.

"This is for you, Dejan!"

While the two were chatting, someone handed them a pair of car keys.

Lu Deyang looked up and identified her and asked in a low voice: "Princess Stephanie?"

The other party smiled and said, "The car is already parked in front of the Ferraris Stadium. You can't refuse to accept it."

"I'll give you the money."

Lu Deyang said as he was about to take out the checkbook.

The other person turned and left, and her bodyguard quickly followed.

"The Princess of Monaco, a troublemaker."

Lu Deyang explained directly.

Redondo nodded on the side. He had also read the gossip about the second princess in the newspaper.

It's normal that Lu Deyang doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Lu Deyang ended the book signing for the day after being persuaded by the princess and Monica.

After getting in the car, Monica rubbed his wrist with some distress and said, "Why are you working so hard? It's not like we don't have money to spend."

"You don't understand. If I take more of the British's money, others will have less. It's better for me to take more."

Lu Deyang said in a low voice.

There is no problem for the rich in the UK, but even the middle class will have a hard time in the future.

The Americans are reaping the rewards of the world and no one can escape.

If King Lu could earn more money, he could help them.

Let them protest in Downing Street.

Lest you be confused about what's going on.

There are not many idols as responsible as Lu Qiuwang.

Fortunately, the princess did not show up at the hotel that night.

Otherwise, he would definitely be photographed.

There were quite a lot of reporters outside the hotel.

They have had no shortage of news this summer.

There were dozens of interview invitations and TV show invitations sent to Lu Qiuwang alone.

Lu Deyang could only select a few, some of the more influential newspapers and programs.

In early July, Lu Deyang was invited to participate in the opening ceremony rehearsal of the Universiade.

The princess appeared again as expected.

But the two of them didn't do anything.

There were quite a lot of people at the scene.

An old man with a Scottish accent approached Lu Deyang and said, "I watched the live broadcast of the signing event. Do you think I can lead Manchester United to surpass Liverpool?"

"Yes, Mr Ferguson, I didn't say Liverpool, but you obviously targeted Liverpool."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

The princess and Monica were chatting on the side, but her eyes were always glancing towards Lu Deyang.

"Fernando, right? You play very well in midfield. Are you interested in playing at the Theatre of Dreams?" Ferguson asked.

Redondo shook his head without thinking and said, "If I go to England to play football one day, I must be crazy, but Dejan said you are an excellent coach."

Ferguson said nonchalantly: "I don't like the weather in England either. It's really bad here."

"Some people say you came to coach Manchester United to deal with Dalglish. Is that true?"

Lu Deyang asked in a low voice.

The Scottish coach was stunned, then nodded and said, "If they think so, then they are right. When I abandoned Alan Hansen in the Scottish national team, he started to cause trouble for me. Of course I don't like him."

"How candid!"

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"There's nothing I can't say. I went from being an apprentice to being here, not because I'm gifted. If I were that gifted, I wouldn't have been an apprentice. I've always wanted to teach everyone who offended me a lesson, so I succeeded!"

Ferguson said with a smile.

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded.

It was obvious that the Scottish coach was as generous as himself.

"They were having a really good chat."

The princess whispered, "Isn't this the first time that Ferguson and he met?"

"It should be, but Dejan can chat happily with anyone. Last time we visited Mancini's house, he chatted with Mancini's son for half an hour."

Monica gestured exaggeratedly and said, "The child was only born half a year ago."

The princess immediately covered her mouth and giggled.

Monica's expression is so funny.

The two of them were originally the focus of today because they had been paying attention to Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang and the other two became the center of attention.

Some journalists already have headlines in mind.

Ferguson invites Dejan to join

"Red Devils' new No.7, Best says it's good"

The Saviour of English Football

They can write a lot just from the tone and expressions of a few people.

If the princess's reputation wasn't so good, they could have written a 100,000-word gossip based on her eyes. Her writing style wouldn't be any worse than Chen Chi's.

"What do you think is Manchester United's biggest problem right now?"

Ferguson asked.

Lu Deyang thought for a while and said: "Lack of creativity. Whether it is McClair, Mike Phelan, Paul Ince or Lee Sharp, they all lack sufficient creativity. Manchester United's victory over Barcelona mainly depends on Mark Hughes, but Mark Hughes also needs someone to pass the ball to him. Manchester United needs a player like Baggio."

Ferguson smiled bitterly and said: "Even if we have money, Roberto Baggio will never come to England to play football. Italian players rarely go abroad, let alone play in England. If you come to Manchester United, the team's problems can be solved."

"Forget it, I still want to play at Sampdoria."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

As long as the old chairman is still here, it is impossible for King Lu to leave.

Let's wait and see after Enrico Mantovani takes office.

"Dejan, Dejan, come and get ready."

The staff greeted.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ferguson."

Lu Deyang said: "I'll go over first. Fernando is not very familiar with England, so please take care of him."

"Don't worry, I won't let your good partner get lost."

The old Scottish man joked.

Lu Deyang left with the staff.

The staff pointed to the center of the stadium and said, "The athletes are here now. You can just go up and say a few words. If you don't know how to give a speech, just give them some simple encouragement."

"it is good."

Lu Deyang said.

Only at this time did I remember to explain this matter to King Lu Qiu.

Lu Deyang took the microphone and walked directly into the stadium and onto the center stage.

The athletes at the Universiade look more energetic.

After a quick look, Lu Deyang put the microphone to his mouth and said, "Maybe many people don't know me. I'm a football player, about the same age as you. Last season, I won four championships with my teammates. Because football has a wider audience, I can stand here, but football is not more noble than other sports. The sweat that each of us has put in is equal..."

The athletes who had been a little agitated just now immediately gave warm applause.

Humble people are always more likable.

When the applause stopped, Lu Deyang said, "Representing the country in the competition is the highest honor. The national flag on your chest is far more important than the name behind you, because you carry the earnest expectations of countless compatriots. Even if it is an unpopular event, even if it can only occupy a corner of the newspaper, the weight of the gold medal will not change because of the number of audiences. Every champion is the best in the world."

Without waiting for them to applaud, Lu Deyang waved his hand and said, "But competitive sports are so cruel. There is only one winner. I once heard a saying that I agree with deeply - the most glorious day in a person's life is not the day when he achieves success, but the day when he develops the desire to challenge life from sorrow and despair, and bravely steps towards this challenge. As long as you have firm beliefs, make full preparations, and maintain high morale, the world may, may, unveil its cold veil and show you a bright smile."

Amid applause, Lu Deyang walked off the stage.

Poet He probably wouldn't care, after all, King Lu saved his idol Maradona.
