If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 142 Bailey's Strength (Subscription Request)
"Go buy some chocolate."

Lu Deyang took a step behind and said to Monica.

Then came Sir Alex Ferguson and Redondo.

The group arrived at Gordon's Bar next to Embankment subway station.

There is another story about Embankment station.

London has replaced all subway station announcements with robotic female voices.

At Embankment station, you can hear a gentle male voice. This male voice was recorded 40 years ago by a man who graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. After he died, his wife would dress up carefully every day and go to this station to listen to her husband's voice. Later, this station was also changed to a female voice.

Later, the prompt tone here was changed, and the lady went to the subway administration to preserve the recording permanently.

The staff was moved by her deep affection and changed the Embankment station's announcements back to its original male voice. It is also the only subway station in London that uses a male voice to announce stations.

"The cheese here goes very well with the jam, but the red wine is not so good. I recommend Italian cheese, which is better than British cheese!" said the Scottish coach enthusiastically.

Redondo nodded vigorously.

Argentines and Scots have a lot in common when it comes to hating the British.

After all, the positive term "Hand of God" was invented by the Scots.

This bar is obviously old, and the spots on the walls are signs of time.

Decorations from before and after the war and even last century can be seen.

Dim lighting also makes people feel safer and more relaxed.

Even though the three of them arrived early, there were already some drinkers in the bar.

The three of them sat against the wall, and soon the waiter served them snacks and red wine.

The Scottish coach ordered Barbera, a sweet wine.

Some of the drinkers were discussing Gascoigne's injury.

The Scottish manager had a drink and then complained: "You know, I almost signed Gascoigne. I told him about the transfer to Manchester United and then I went on holiday. While I was on holiday, the club chairman Martin Eduardo called me and told me that Gascoigne signed for Tottenham because they bought his mother a house for 8 pounds."

"So that's how it is." Lu Deyang nodded.

Redondo couldn't help but frown.

He hated people who didn't keep their word, so he asked, "Then for the next transfer, are you willing to meet their demands?"

"I'm not a fucking bullshit Santa Claus!"

The Scottish coach suddenly said angrily: "If you want a house, go buy it yourself, don't ask for it from me. I will only tell them that I can help them become better players, let them make more money, and spend their own money to buy things. If I satisfy one person, what if Hughes and Bruce also ask me for a house and a car? I will never put gifts in their socks!"

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded.

This old man's complaints are really interesting.

But he really did it. A few years ago, Giggs was about to go to Manchester City's youth training, and it was he who persuaded Giggs's parents to let him join Manchester United.

After Giggs performed well in the first team, he was instigated by the bigwigs to ask Ferguson for a car, and Giggs was scolded by Ferguson for more than an hour in the office.

However, although those old guys were not reasonable, they still helped them out.

When Giggs played against Sheffield United, he was constantly tackled and the opponent even threatened him. Giggs complained to Robson, who immediately switched positions with him. Ten minutes later, he asked Giggs to return to his position and told him that the opponent had behaved himself.

"I know you are all rich and the Italians pay you a lot, but if you want to become a big star you still need self-discipline. You do this better than the British players."

Ferguson said: "I rarely see gossip about Sampdoria players in the newspapers. Sometimes I get a headache from these young men in their 20s. They are like male dogs in heat, always trying to get close to women."

"Perhaps you could bring in Marco Lanner, women won't be a problem for him."

Redondo said.

Ferguson was stunned for a moment, then he slammed the table and burst into laughter.

This incident was well-known throughout Europe. He had previously reminded his disciples never to give money to their significant other for safekeeping.

"Don't be so mean, Fernando."

Lu Deyang smiled and said, "In fact, Marco has changed a lot. He just thought that the other person was his life partner."

"That's true. If she's your partner, you have to support each other." Ferguson nodded and said, "When I was playing football, Cathy and I suffered a lot together. You should know that half of the people in Glasgow are crazy, and the other half are fucking crazy too!"

“It makes people crazy when faith is involved.”

Lu Deyang said.

"Yes, I'm a Protestant and she's a Catholic. Rangers are a Protestant team and they always insulted me and Cathy because of it, so I was happy every time I beat them when I coached Aberdeen."

The slightly drunk old Scottish man said excitedly.

Lu Deyang nodded.

There are many stories about Manchester United's godfather on the Internet, but hearing the description from the person involved is another matter.

Glasgow is a team that took drastic measures because of their beliefs. It is not easy for the two of them to get together.

Redondo's eyes were moist.

Young literary people have no resistance to this kind of love that breaks through the shackles of faith.

Lu Deyang doubts that if Ferguson invites him to join Manchester United now, he will nod his head.

It’s just that Redondo is not eligible to apply for a labor certification.

The three of them chatted for more than two hours. After Monica came to the bar, Ferguson stood up and said, "I should go back to the hotel. If I don't go back and make the call, Cathy will definitely scold me again."

"We are also preparing to leave."

Lu Deyang took the chocolate from Monica and handed it over, saying, "This is a gift for you."

"Then I'm welcome, but how did you know?"

Ferguson asked in surprise.

He likes sweets very much.

Lu Deyang smiled and snapped his fingers. He handed over a burger and said, "Magicians never reveal their secrets on their own initiative. Take this back for dinner."

He found out about this after watching an interview with Lippi.

Lippi had a good relationship with Ferguson, and all the chocolates he gave to Ferguson's grandson were stolen by Ferguson.

It was precisely because of their good relationship that Lippi brought De Rossi to meet Ferguson after the World Cup.

The Scottish coach was very happy today and did not forget to leave his home phone number with a few people before leaving.

This is a considerable degree of trust.

Because of the poor performance when he first arrived at Manchester United, some fans called to insult his family. The Scottish coach attaches great importance to personal privacy.

"You two seem to like him very much."

Monica asked after Ferguson left.

"Mr Ferguson is brave, talented and not at all hypocritical."

Redondo said directly.

"Yes, I think so too. He has a very straightforward personality, which is a bad thing for successful people, but he can still succeed." Lu Deyang said with a smile.

As the three of them walked towards the hotel, Lu Deyang's pager started ringing.

It’s the old chairman Mantovani.

Redondo handed over the mobile phone directly and Lu Deyang took it back.

"Transfer, Mr. Chairman? I have no objection. Soviet players are of course fine, but is the coach okay?" Lu Deyang asked.

"Vujardin wants to return to Yugoslavia, but it's too dangerous there and it's not easy to go back."

Paolo Mantovani said on the other end of the line.

"You should persuade the coach. The situation in the Balkans is really bad right now."

Lu Deyang said.

If I go back, whether I can come back is one thing.

After chatting with the old chairman for a while and hanging up the phone, the three of them returned to the hotel.

The next day, the three of them flew to Japan.

Sampdoria is training in two East Asian countries this season.

As soon as he got off the plane, Lu Deyang saw a familiar figure.

"Kumaya, shouldn't you be in Italy?"

Lu Deyang said speechlessly.

"Teacher, I will return to Japan to report on my work when you are on vacation. I just happened to hear that you were coming to Tokyo, so how could I not come out to receive you?" Kumagai Gensuke said after bowing.

"Let's go, lead the way."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

This editor is really not an ordinary person.

Although the Japanese are stingy, they are really good at paying attention to details when it comes to things that don't require spending money.

On the way to the hotel, Lu Deyang asked again: "Have you arranged the reception this time?"

Kumagai Genshin's mouth twitched as he said, "Teacher, you still like to joke so much."

"You don't have to joke around, Monica doesn't mind."

Lu Deyang said.

"The prerequisite is to be beautiful!" Monica emphasized.

Kumagai Gensuke's words were stuck in his throat, for fear that this couple would ask him to call Kudo Shizuka again.

"That's right, teacher."

Kumagai Gennori said, "Izumi-kun also said that he would personally entertain you when you come to Japan."

"Let's talk about it when we have time."

Lu Deyang said.

The purpose of my trip to Japan was to sign books and investigate the prospects of the new store.

Then the team started training and warm-up matches, which could be regarded as a rehearsal for the new season of Toyota Cup.

The training camp was arranged in East Asia mainly because of the Toyota Cup.

The four-time champion attaches great importance to the championships that have not been won in the team, and everyone wants to win all the championships in their career.

Although I didn't see any female stars when I arrived at the hotel.

But Shogakukan's president, Shigeo Aiga, was waiting there.

"Mr. Deyang, it's great to meet you. You are a great contributor to our publishing house." Shigeo Aiga walked up quickly, took Lu Deyang's hand and said.

"Can the royalties be increased?"

Lu Deyang asked.

cough cough...

Shigeo Aiga coughed several times before changing the subject and said, "The kaiseki cuisine here is very authentic. It's a good opportunity for us to taste it together today."

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded.

Damn it, it just doesn’t work when it comes to money.

Fortunately, King Lu held on to the copyright tightly from the beginning.

Shogakukan and Nintendo should be regretting it now.

But there’s no use regretting. The so-called strongest legal department is useless on King Lu.

We returned to the hotel after the meal.

The next day, Lu Deyang started a series of autograph sessions.

In front of Kumagai Genshin, although King Lu appeared reluctant, he was still very happy in his heart.

This person is rich!

Complain to the publishing house and let Li know what's going on.

But you can't fool yourself.

Every time you smile at your readers now, they may support you for twenty or thirty years in the future. For example, many fans of works like "Crayon Shin-chan", "Doraemon" and "Pokemon" have supported you for decades.

And when you grow up, you will pay for your feelings like crazy.

They are the ones who pay for games, joint products, and figures.

The reason why "EVA" can become the bus of the crossover world is because the fans buy into it. It even crossovers with street lights.

A day later, Lu Deyang received similar evaluation as Kimura Takuya.

These excited readers praised King Lu to the TV reporter as "the chosen one", "a beautiful face like a god", "a smile like the sun"...

There are too many descriptions like this.

The Japanese are inherently immature.

Lu Deyang was considering whether to submit articles to the Asahi Shimbun.

For example, a reader waited for King Lu so long that he missed the return Shinkansen, so King Lu drove hundreds of kilometers to take the reader back to Akita.

Or perhaps in order to reply to readers' letters, King Lu Qiu worked intensively and was hospitalized but still refused to rest.

These little stories with a strong flavor are still quite useful these days.

In the absence of information, even false information can be made to appear true.

However, Lu Deyang did a good job in replying to the letter.

He not only bought a lot of beautiful letter paper and signatures, but mainly a signature, and a sentence of encouragement to the reader was enough. The envelope would also be sealed with wax.

This is the best way to achieve the sense of ceremony.

This is why later products were packaged in beautiful boxes.

Good packaging is valuable.

Not long after, Lu Deyang met the old chairman.

He arrived in Japan in advance to paved the way for the players.

He always treated himself like a staff member.

From the hotel to every detail, he must personally review it, striving to provide the players with a comfortable training environment.

At the end of July, the whole team arrived in Japan and began training.

The team had several new faces, such as Soviet international Alexey Mykhailichenko.

He moved to Samp from Dynamo Kyiv.

The remaining players such as Marco Branca and Bonetti were transferred from lower-level leagues.

Sampdoria still maintains its previous transfer strategy at this time.

It may also be because big-name Italian players are hard to come by and there are not enough quotas for foreign players.

Starting from next season, Serie A will no longer limit the number of foreign players a team can have.

But only three people can play at the same time.

At most, AC Milan had 7 foreign players taking turns.

Another point is that players under the age of 22 in Italy do not need to register. If Italy can really dig up young talents from other countries, they can be counted in the number of foreign players.

"It's great to be back with the team. I missed you guys so much."

Mancini said excitedly.

"You don't want to stay at home to take care of the children, Uncle Mancini," Vialli said sarcastically, pointing at his nose.

Mancini the Clown has spread across major European cities, and it is estimated that in the future his image will be more famous than his identity as a player.

"Asshole, I'm telling the truth." Mancini said unhappily, "It's a pity that Fausto transferred."

"If he doesn't leave, there won't be many opportunities for him to play."

Lu Deyang said.

Sarsano still chose to transfer away from the team and went to Rome like Carbone.

"In fact, our squad is quite stable, and not many people leave the team every season." Pagliuca said: "But Enrico seems to have refused to be loaned out."

“I feel like I have what it takes to play for the first team.”

Chiesa said on the sidelines.

"Well, good luck in the new season."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

There was immediately a burst of ghostly howling on the training ground.

Seeing this group of big boys, a smile appeared on Boskov's face.

He had figured it out during the holiday.

Even if he worries, it can't change anything, life must go on.

It is better to do your own job well and help your old friends when you have the chance to contact them again.

"The kids are really energetic. I feel a lot younger when I return to the team," Pezzotti said with a smile.

"Yeah." Boskov nodded and said, "If I continue to take the holiday, I might end up in the hospital."

It's only been more than a month since this vacation, but his hair has turned a lot whiter.

“It looks like they’re still motivated,” Pezzotti said.

"Yes, that puts me at ease."

Boskov said.

A few days later, Meiji Jingu Gaien Stadium in Tokyo.

Sampdoria faced its first opponent in the warm-up match in Japan - the Japanese national team.

An interesting scene occurred at the event, with some readers and fans supporting Lu Deyang on the spot.

This has caused a split in the home turf of the Japanese national team.

Compared to the Sampdoria players who were warming up in a relaxed manner, every Japanese international had a very serious look on their faces.

Studying abroad is already an unattainable dream for most of them, and Sampdoria is the most dominant team in the entire European football.

South American football is not so bleak these days.

So it is hard to say that Samp is the best in the world.

But even so, the title of quadruple champion is like a mountain pressing on the hearts of Japanese international players.

CCTV broadcast the event live.

Song Shixiong's magnetic voice reappeared, and he said: "The players of both sides have already started warming up, and Sampdoria's big names are still enjoying this trip to Asia. The match against the Japanese national team is the beginning of their summer training."

After Lu Deyang passed the ball twice, he remembered that he hadn't drawn the ball yet.

After opening the system, select the lottery.

[Your good brother Roberto Mancini has enough strength, but he is rarely mentioned because of his number nine and a half. He is more often mentioned because of his coaching ability, especially the European Cup championship of the Italian national team. So draw a number nine and a half who has coached the national team and is very famous in the position of nine and a half. Ding, get the 1981 South American Libertadores Final, Flamengo VS Colo Colo, Artur Antunes Coimbra single game experience card]

Damn it! ! !

Zico.

Lu Deyang was amazed not because of Bai Baili's strength.

The main reason is that Zico has a strong connection with Japan. Not only did he play for Kashima Antlers in the late stage of his career, he also served as the head coach of the Japan national team afterwards.

It was after the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

It can be said that Zico is very suitable for the Japanese national team.

After the referee’s reminder, Lu Deyang followed his teammates back to the passage.

Many fans at the scene have begun to get excited.

The Japanese commentator also said: "The Japanese players must give their best in this game. Facing the strongest team, they must be 100% determined. Only by striving for victory can they get a good result. In this world, nothing can stop a man's determination. If he can't do it, it's because he doesn't have enough fighting spirit!"

Lu Deyang saw a familiar player in the starting lineup of the Japanese team.

The old guy Kazuyoshi Miura was still quite young at that time.

Who would have thought that this guy would become a data brush.

All the teams in Japan kept offering him contracts just to prolong his career.

Paolo Rossi is not very optimistic about the Japanese team.

Italy is the best in the world and doesn’t even take European teams seriously.

Rossi said: "Today's warm-up match can only serve as a warm-up. For Dejan, no, even for Sampdoria's substitutes, playing against the Japanese national team will not have any good effect, and it will not improve the players' experience."

"Actually, that can't be said. The Japanese team seems to be quite strong."

"Really? Then I hope they don't lose too badly." Rossi said sarcastically.

"Forget it Paul, let's take a look at the starting lineups for both teams."

Japan 442 double defensive midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Matsunaga Chengcheng,
Defenders: Horiike Takumi, Tsunami Toshifumi, Ihara Masami, Sakakura Yuji,
Midfield: Yamada Takahiro, Kitazawa Go, Yoshida Mitsuhiro, Moriyasu Hajime,

Forwards: Masashi Nakayama, Kazuyoshi Miura.

Sampdoria 352 double wingbacks:

Goalkeeper: Pagliuca

Defenders: Materazzi, Virgilio Verchoud, Pellegrini,

Midfielders: Lanner, Ludejan, Redondo, Parry, Mannini,

Forwards: Vialli, Mancini.

"It can be seen that Boskov intends to experiment with a new formation in this game."

"Yes, because Sampdoria has been using 442, Serie A teams are all studying ways to crack 442. Actively seeking change is a good way."

"Maybe, but I still maintain my opinion that the match against Japan will not bring any help to Sampdoria."

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

After the opening, the Japanese players were very cautious. Masashi Nakayama passed the ball back quickly, and Kitazawa Hao immediately passed it back after receiving it, giving Vialli and Mancini no chance to press.

Just pass the ball back to the defense line.

This made Sampdoria's double strikers a little uncomfortable, as few opponents in Europe dared to do so.

Taking the ball on the defensive line is like playing with fire.

After a brief moment of daze, the two men looked at each other and rushed forward.

Ihara Masami obviously didn't understand how well the two good friends had understood each other. When he wanted to pass the ball, he couldn't find any opportunity and could only dribble the ball towards the baseline little by little.

This scene made the Japanese fans at the scene speechless.

What kind of tactic is this where the defender dribbles the ball towards his own baseline?
Ihara Masami tried hard to find an opportunity, but his body was not at the same level as Viallibi, and he couldn't even turn around. In desperation, he could only kick the ball out of the baseline and give Sampdoria a corner kick.

Such a scene also surprised the Japanese players. They didn't expect that their teammates couldn't even kick the ball to the opponent and get a goal kick.

This corner kick did not create any danger.

Materazzi's header was cleared and Sakakura Yuji immediately kicked the ball to Moriyasu Hajime.

Moriyasu wanted to wait for his teammates, but Redondo had already chased back to him, roaring. The future coach of the Japanese national team was frightened and he quickly turned around and passed the ball back.

As soon as Yoshida Mitsuhiro got the ball, Redondo rushed to his side and kicked him.

The Japanese midfielder lost the ball and fell to the ground.

The referee's whistle did not sound.

There was a huge booing at the Meiji Jingu Gaien Stadium in Tokyo.

"This ball is not a foul." Song Shixiong explained: "Redondo ran for the ball and kicked the ball first and then touched Yoshida Mitsuhiro."

The ball has reached Lu Deyang's feet.

Seeing this, Lanna simply gave up on advancing to save energy.

Vialli and Mancini rushed forward on the left and right, but Horiike Takumi and Toshifumi Toshifumi's attention was on Lu Deyang.

The coach had already explained this to them before the game.

Lu Deyang is the most threatening player.

Even though Vialli was right next to him, Toshifumi Tomokazu still faced Lu Deyang head-on and focused on him.

Vialli went around him and moved to the middle. Lu Deyang immediately kicked the ball with his right foot and rushed into the top right corner of the penalty area.

Toshifumi Tobin was always paying attention to Lu Deyang's upper body, but forgot to adjust his posture. When Lu Deyang started to accelerate, he wanted to turn around and chase back, but he fell on the grass.

Such an embarrassing scene was simply unbearable for Tokyo fans to watch.

Just forget about it if you can't defeat the foreigners.

Now everyone is Asian, and you perform a flat fall in front of them. What kind of player are you?
Horiike Takumi still follows Lu Deyang.

But there was no chance to post it.

If he slowed down even a little he would be thrown off.

Seeing goalkeeper Matsunaga Kenji go out for the attack, Horiike Takumi felt that his choice was right.

As long as he follows the left side, he can limit Lu Deyang's shooting angle and provide assistance to the goalkeeper.

Matsunaga Kenji was very decisive in his attack.

This gave many Japanese fans hope.

The Japanese goalkeeper was smart enough not to use his hands, but instead lowered his center of gravity and made a sliding tackle, hoping to use a faster method to prevent Lu Deyang from reacting in time.

But Lu Deyang avoided his foot with a light flick, then turned around and poked the ball out with his toes.

boom--

The next second, the ball was already in the net.

After scoring the goal, Lu Deyang had no intention of celebrating and just walked back.

This one action led to different interpretations by commentators in several countries.

"Lu Deyang is still very graceful. Since it was a friendly match, there was no need to celebrate too excitedly. However, he dribbled past four Japanese players in a row to score this goal and performed a ballet in the opponent's penalty area. This style of play reminded us of Lu Deyang's opponent in the Italian league, Maradona, the king of Naples." Song Shixiong said.

In the early days, their nicknames for players and national teams were not very accurate.

Rossi said sarcastically: "I have said long ago that this game is just a warm-up at best. It is bullying for the strongest team in Serie A to play against the national team, not to mention the Japanese national team."

Club players train together longer and have better coordination.

Therefore, the tactical level of a mature club is far higher than that of the national team.

There are no exceptions to this.

This is why it is said that the technical and tactical level of the Champions League is higher than that of the World Cup.

The tactics and tacit understanding are higher, and players can also be introduced into scarce positions through transfers.

The club is also better than the national team in terms of lineup rationality.

The World Cup mainly has the bonus of national honor.

Any Italian Serie A giant will have a better chance of winning against most European national teams.

The same situation applies to Bayern. Even against the Italian national team, they have a greater chance of winning.

Hans Ofutt stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets.

He has just become the head coach of the Japanese national team.

But as a Dutchman, he knows too well how strong Sampdoria is.

Even if the three best players of the Netherlands were in AC Milan, they would not be able to threaten Sampdoria's dominance of Italian football.

He gave the Japanese team a lot of special training before the game.

It was he who brought about tremendous changes to the Japanese team and was later called the Godfather of Japanese football.

But now it seems that in the face of absolute strength, no tactics will work.

Hans Ofutt said a few words to the translator, who immediately shouted to the field, "Be careful, we should focus on defense and use our long feet to create counterattack opportunities. As long as we lose fewer balls, we will win. Compress the space and stand firm, so they won't be able to find any gaps to exploit."

Lu Deyang, whose Japanese proficiency had greatly improved, listened to most of it.

It made him feel a little funny.

The strength of the Japanese team at that time was far inferior to that of 30 years later.

Not to mention him, even if he passed the ball to his teammates and didn't go near the penalty area, he could easily score double digits today.

The Japanese international players who kicked off again obviously heard the coach's instructions.

But they didn't know how to get the ball.

It was their kick-off that gave Sampdoria the chance.

Now it was their turn to have the ball again.

Without any instructions from the coach, they could only keep passing the ball.

Their technical level prevented them from doing so in front of Samp.

When Moriyasu got the ball and wanted to pass it, it was too late.

Lana showed a mocking smile.

Dejan wears No. 7, you fucking wear No. 7 too?
Let me tell you today that not everyone can wear size 7.

Lanna rushed forward immediately.

Moriyasu Hajime still had some ideas, and he tried to break through with his left foot.

But his moves were easily seen through even by Lanner, whose defensive abilities were not that great.

Lana stretched out his foot and easily hooked the ball under his feet.

Then he rushed forward quickly with the ball.

"Damn it, pass the ball to Dejan!!!"

Boskov shouted from the sidelines.

As soon as you see your opponent is easy to bully, you just dribble the ball yourself?

You were a dragon when you played against AC Milan.

Startled by the coach's shout, Lanner quickly passed the ball.

Lu Deyang received the ball at the top of the penalty area, with the entire Japanese team's defense line in front of him.

Even so, Lu Deyang still dribbled the ball forward and faced Ihara Masami. Before he stepped into the penalty area, Lu Deyang suddenly changed direction with his right foot.

Ihara Masami turned around immediately but was unable to catch up.

Horiike Takumi and Tsuchiho Toshifumi hurried back, and Ihara Masami followed behind Lu Deyang.

Three Japanese defenders were chasing after Lu Deyang.

Matsunaga Chengshi chose to attack again.

This time, the Japanese goalkeeper chose to pounce at Lu Deyang's feet, changing from using his feet to using his hands, but he was still easily dribbled past.

Lu Deyang stepped on the ball with his right foot and immediately sent the ball into the empty goal with his left foot.
