If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 151 Jiangdong's sons are talented, and it is unknown whether they will make a comeback (Subscription Request)
Bagnoli spread his hands on the sidelines.

He really has nothing to say about this ball.

He should indeed scold the players for not blocking the ball immediately, but he also knew very well that even if someone went up to press, they would still be dribbled past.

Some players are hard to understand on a tactical level.

Players with strong shooting power generally do not have good flexibility.

Matthäus cannot dribble past the opponent in a small area, he needs to use a wide and open style of play.

But Lu Deyang can both shoot violently from long range and dodge and move in a small area.

The power can be so great that it is terrifying, and his feet can control the ball to the centimeter accuracy in a hurry.

It's outrageous!
Facing such an enemy, is it useful to scold the players?
When he was young, his father often scolded him for being a waste. If scolding people worked, at least he should have established himself in AC Milan after the youth team.

After thinking for a while, Bagnoli shouted to the field: "Be careful, the best thing is not to lose the ball."

This kind of talk is a bit discouraging.

But he believes the players can understand what he means in this situation.

In the past, a narrow defeat meant losing by one goal.

Now facing Sampdoria, Bagnoli feels that the concept of narrow defeat should be changed.

As long as they don’t lose as much as Real Madrid and can score one more goal, the team’s performance will be considered quite good.

"Enrico, get ready. If you can score a goal today, you will start in the European Super Cup." Boskov, who was in a good mood, turned around and said with a smile.

Chiesa was trembling a little when he stood up.

This was the first time that Boskov promised him that he could start, and so long in advance.

Several new players on the bench were congratulating Chiesa.

Being able to start in such an important game shows that his status has been improved.

Chiesa took off his coat and walked to the sidelines, where he immediately heard the conversation between the coaching staff.

Pezzotti asked, “Why are the starting lineups scheduled so far in advance?”

"After all, the opponent is Manchester United," said Boskov.

"Do you think Manchester United is too strong?" Pezzotti asked curiously.

In the whole of Europe, no one except Lu Deyang thinks that Manchester United is stronger than Liverpool and Arsenal.

"No, I think the English team is very barbaric. It's better to let Enrico prepare in advance." Boskov said: "The kid is in good shape and will not get injured easily."

Chiesa: ...

He knew that the coach was not that kind.

Chiesa couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought about how he was kicked by Manchester United players and rolled in the mud in rainy Manchester.

I don't know if he can adapt to the British way of tackling.

Don't be fooled by his toughness in Serie A.

What if the English tackles are more brutal?
I have to go home and find some Manchester United game tapes to watch when I have time.

Not getting hurt is the real thing.

No Italian player can guarantee that he can perform as well as Baggio after being seriously injured.

At this moment, something unexpected happened on the field. When Lu Deyang took a long shot, Ibram Blanco rushed up to block it.

Players from both sides heard a slight sound of bone cracking, and Blanco fell directly to the ground.

His teammates wanted to clear the ball immediately, but Lu Deyang shouted, "Call the team doctor, he must be injured."

Players from both teams immediately surrounded them.

The Genoa team doctor arrived late, but found that there was no way to treat it.

Lu Deyang called Sampdoria’s team doctor from the sidelines to bring an oxygen tube, and Blanco felt better after using it.

The injury was quite serious and he had difficulty breathing.

Rossi said with some concern: "This is not Dejan's problem at all, but the opponent blocked the shot and got injured. Dejan will have a psychological shadow. I hope this incident will not affect Dejan's mentality."

Boskov had the same concern and quickly pushed Chiesa to the fourth official.

Nothing is more important than Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang walked to the sidelines, high-fived Chiesa, and then left.

He took the towel handed to him by Boskov and wiped the sweat off his face.

Boskov said with some concern: "Dejan, you don't need to blame yourself."

"I'm fine, coach." Lu Deyang said with a smile.

This kind of thing is inevitable. King Lu didn't kick anyone, so why should he blame himself?

Boskov breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Lu Deyang's smile was not forced.

If Lu Deyang's mental state were to have problems, even the entire Genoa team would not be enough to be buried with him.

In the end, the game ended with a score of 6:2, and Genoa gave the fans an explanation.

After the game, Boskov rejected Lu Deyang's request to attend the press conference.

I was afraid that the reporters would affect Lu Deyang's mentality.

When he returned home later, Lu Deyang saw Monica sitting at the door with a worried look on her face, and there was a cake on the dining table.

"What day do we need to eat cake?"

Lu Deyang asked after changing his clothes.

"It was Mr. Mantovani who called me. He also had someone send this cake. A psychology expert will come to your house to counsel you tomorrow." Monica said to Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang: ...

It made it seem as if the one who was injured was King Lu.

He was about to sit down and turn on the TV when Monica immediately snatched the remote and said, "I saw a scientist say that it's not good to watch TV while eating."

Lu Deyang took the remote back with a smile and said, "I'm not that fragile yet."

It didn't take long for him to turn on the TV before he found the football program.

It's still a male host. Old Bay's TV station hasn't adopted the idea of female hosts selling football games, so it's less interesting.

"In today's Lighthouse Derby, Genoa defender Blanco was injured while blocking a shot. According to our understanding, he dislocated his ankle. He is really an unlucky guy..."

the host said.

"He didn't seem to mention your name," Monica said.

Lu Deyang nodded.

In another program, Lu Deyang's name was still not mentioned.

at the same time.

Italian Football Federation headquarters in Rome.

It is quite rare for Italians to stay up late at night to get off work.

The conference room was filled with smoke.

Italian Football Association President Nizzola, sitting in the middle, asked: "Have you greeted the media?"

"Yes, they determined that this incident was not Dejan's responsibility."

someone said.

"Be sure to warn them well. If they cause any psychological harm to Dejan, I will find Sicilians to throw them all into the Mediterranean."

Nizzola slammed the table and shouted.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing if it is not intentional, but he is afraid that the media will hype it up.

Anything related to Lu Deyang is big news.

Serie A is getting so much attention now, isn’t it because of Lu Deyang?
Sampdoria's achievements and Lu Deyang's performance on and off the field have created the current Serie A.

I previously asked the Americans to conduct an investigation and found that Serie A's market share in the English-speaking region has increased by 33% in the past two years, which is something that Italian football has not been able to achieve in hundreds of years.

Whether for his future or money, he would not allow anyone to use this matter for hype.

Anyone who dares to take advantage of the issue will be his class enemy.

That is a life-and-death struggle.

The top executives of the Italian Football Association are sitting in the conference room watching the news. They want to make sure there are no problems with today's news.

They have contacted other departments to ensure there are no issues with the paper media.

"By the way, should we find a psychiatrist for Dejan?" someone asked.

Nizzola nodded and said, "I have discussed this with Mantovani, and he has already found someone, but your idea is good. Let someone book a flight to Genoa tomorrow morning, and we will go visit Dejan."

"Should we bring some Chinese gifts?"

someone asked.

"You know and you're still asking me. Now go get ready."

Nezora said, waving his hands impatiently.

Oh shit.

The Brazilian defender was unlucky enough to get injured while blocking Lu Deyang's shot.

There are many top players in Serie A, but the one with the greatest influence in Europe and even the world is Lu Deyang. No one else combined is as useful as Lu Deyang.

This is his and Serie A's trademark.

After hearing about this, he was afraid that the British or Spanish would cause trouble.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong that night.

After returning from Milan the next day, he did not see any negative news in newspapers in other countries.

Nizzola finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was being too cautious.

Maybe the British media is not as unscrupulous as he thinks.

……

Lu Deyang sent away several waves of visitors who were worried about his mental state. After defeating Torino on November 11, he flew to Manchester with the whole team.

The team will have another Champions League match next.

The schedule suddenly became tight.

After returning to Italy, they will face Naples, Milan and Rome in succession.

Even the most die-hard Sampdoria fans can't help but worry about such a devilish schedule.

After five consecutive tough battles, they don’t care whether they lose or not, as the championship still belongs to Sampdoria. However, they are afraid that Lu Dejan or other important players will be injured.

When the Sampdoria team arrived in Manchester, they were invited by the princess to have dinner together.

Another Hand is not a very expensive restaurant, but interestingly they do not have a fixed menu.

This approach is a gimmick, but it also tests the chef's skills.

At least you have to know how to process the ingredients that customers want to eat in multiple ways.

Because the princess made an appointment in advance, the only customers today are the entire Sampdoria team.

In order to cater to the seaside team, the restaurant also prepared a lot of seafood.

“It’s not cheap to rent a restaurant.”

Lu Deyang asked in a low voice.

"They said they were inviting you, and they wanted it to be free." The princess smiled and said, "It only delays one day of business, but it can get you a chance to show your face to the whole world."

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded. That's the truth.

Once we arrived in England, there were a lot more reporters.

With the princess present, the reporters became even more excited.

This is a great opportunity for any restaurant.

Later, those hotels sponsored the teams for free or even for a fee, just to show their faces in front of the fans.

Newspapers usually report on the hotel where the team is staying and describe the hotel's size and facilities, which also helps fans understand the team's preparation environment. This is good publicity for the hotel.

A highly popular team like Manchester United decades later always has a lot of sponsorship.

"Gianluca, do you think that princess seems to like Dejan?"

Mancini covered his mouth and whispered.

Vialli rolled his eyes.

It's been so long and this guy still doesn't know.

If the two of them hadn't paid attention to protection, they would probably have had the child.

But when he thought of Charles's dignity, Vialli could understand the princess's choice.

Old Chairman Mantovani stood up and raised his glass and said, "Thank you for the invitation, Ms. Spencer. Let us toast to our host and wish her eternal beauty and happiness."

He would fly with the team to important games.

Enrique manages a lot of the business.

The atmosphere in the restaurant immediately became lively.

They were more excited to be entertained by this famous princess than to be received by the royal family.

In a sense, it is also a recognition of their character.

The princess smiled and stood up in response.

The dish presentation in this restaurant is relatively simple, but the ingredients are fresh, especially the sauce, which tastes very good. In addition, the service staff does not try to make their presence felt, making everyone in the group feel very comfortable.

"Fernando, are you feeling unwell?"

Mancini asked.

Redondo's eating movements were too stiff.

"No."

Redondo shook his head.

Lu Deyang glanced at the reporters standing outside the restaurant taking pictures, smiled and shook his head.

There is a small window at the entrance of the restaurant, and the glass is covered with cameras.

Redondo's performance at this time is not surprising.

Although Mancini has a heavy idol burden, he does not let it affect himself.

Redondo appears very cautious in front of the camera.

What’s more, there are so many reporters.

I guess he was worried about what The Sun would say about his fashion sense tomorrow while eating.

Lu Deyang stood up and grabbed the waiter, and went with him to get the tablecloth. In the desperate eyes of the reporters, they stuck the tablecloth to the inside of the glass, completely blocking the reporters' cameras.

really.

Lei Dongduo breathed a sigh of relief and became a lot more natural.

After Lu Deyang sat down, the princess covered her mouth and laughed, "Your friend seems to be particularly concerned about his image?"

She had noticed it before by following Lu Deyang's gaze.

"Well, Fernando is the kind of person who cares a lot about what others think. He always wants to make himself better." Lu Deyang nodded.

It’s a bit tiring to live like this.

But there's nothing wrong with it.

Managing yourself is no different than fishing or playing games, as long as it makes you happy.

Redondo is happy every time the media praises him for dressing well, and that's enough.

After dinner, the princess separated from the entire Sampdoria team.

Even though she needed a hotel in Manchester, she chose a different one.

Lu Deyang went to bed after some simple exercise.

A stately home in Wilmslow, Chestershire.

The five-bedroom house is the home of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.

After experiencing poor results and being harassed by fans, he moved to Cheshire.

He has many plans against Sampdoria.

But it is not easy to guarantee victory.

Precisely because he has this talent, he was quite outstanding both as a player and as a coach, so before the game he had a hunch that the team was unlikely to win.

But it was impossible to ask him to give up.

There are no such words in the Scottish dictionary.

He also wanted to see how big the gap was between Manchester United and the strongest team in the world. He was busy until after 11 o'clock before he went to bed.

After getting up the next day, he habitually took the newspaper from the mailbox.

Sure enough, it was all news about Sampdoria.

The Times wrote: "Yesterday, the entire Sampdoria team landed in Manchester. As the only football team sponsored by an airline, they don't have to worry about flight times. After landing in Manchester, the princess invited them to dinner. It seems that this time our princess will not stand on Manchester United's side."

The Scottish coach curled his lips.

Whoever the royal family supports will win.

That Villa should have risen again long ago.

The Sun focused on reporting on Marco Lanner's case, fearing that British fans might not know about it.

"Marco Lanna, a player trained by Sampdoria's youth team, was previously considered the next captain, but his girlfriend kept his salary card. After their breakup, she teamed up with some thugs to demand tens of thousands of dollars in breakup money from him. With no money, Lanna finally spoke out about it. Dejan brought the entire Sampdoria team to his door. It's said that Dejan paid off the thugs' leader to resolve the matter.

Marco Lanna is already a negative example. No one in Italy wants their son to be the next Marco Lanna, even if their child likes to play as a full-back.

Hahaha……

Ferguson laughed heartily.

He doesn't think it's a problem who gets the salary.

What's important is whether two people can run a household together.

It's like he has made money all his life, and even if he handed it over to a manager, it would be Cathy who would keep an eye on it. How could he have the time for that?

The main reason is that Lana didn’t meet any good people.

Just bad luck.

If he were on his team, he would definitely give Lanner some good advice.

But since he is an opponent, there is nothing we can do.

The team was a little nervous, and Lanner was the breakthrough point.

Financial Times focused on Lu Deyang's income, writing: "Deyang's salary hasn't been made public, but we suspect it's the highest in football, significantly higher than Napoli's Maradona. On top of that, he earns a lot from endorsements and other sources. Monica Burgers has opened five branches in London, and Deyang's comics are selling very well. Add to that the copyright income from comic-adapted games, and his estimated annual after-tax income exceeds £5 million."

Seeing this, the Scottish coach couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What does 1800 million pounds mean?
A top-level British player like Mark Hughes, at the level of Manchester United captain, can be bought 12 times, and there is still one extra player in each starting lineup.

There is currently no player in English Football League One who earns £10,000 a week.

Even Mark Hughes or Steve Bruce earn around 5000 pounds. Hughes earns more because he is an offensive player, while Bruce earns less.

Their annual after-tax income, including bonuses, is just over 30 pounds.

1800 million can pay the salaries of 50 top players in English Football League One.

Only then did Ferguson realize how awesome the awesome players were. The difference in income quantified their strength. No wonder Lu Deyang was so strong.

"Eat quickly, or your breakfast will get cold."

Cathy Ferguson complained.

The Scottish coach quickly threw the newspaper aside.

The person he owes the most over the years is his wife.

After getting married, I was scolded for my beliefs, and later I had to take care of a whole family.

What’s more important is to always support him behind the scenes.

Otherwise he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

Marriage and family are also very important for coaches. Later, a coach in Manchester became unsuccessful after his divorce.

After breakfast, the Scottish coach drove to Carrington.

This training base is a bit dilapidated. After all, Manchester United was already a declining giant when he took over.

After winning the Super Cup, he already had the idea of renovating the training base.

"Good morning, Boss." Brian Kidd greeted.

"Are all the children here?"

Ferguson asked, nodding.

"Hughes hasn't arrived yet, but everyone else has."

Kidd said.

Ferguson couldn't help frowning.

He doesn't like these old hands very much because they know the coach's bottom line very well and keep testing it near the bottom line.

If they perform well in the last game, they will immediately look for opportunities to slack off.

He brought Hughes back from Barcelona because Hughes was in bad condition at the time. Unexpectedly, after his performance was good, this bastard started looking for death again.

"Tell him not to leave after training tonight and to come find me in my office."

Ferguson said.

Kidd nodded quickly.

He has seen Ferguson's power.

The old man often scolds the team's forwards by using the number of goals he scored when he was playing football.

Ferguson waited until Mark Hughes arrived before going to the training ground.

Looking at the first team, he said: "Tomorrow we will face the strongest team in Europe - Sampdoria. I know you are in a very active mental state. But whether you are excited or scared, the game will come. Don't think too much. The game is played with feet. No matter who the opponent is, you have to tell them with your actions that the Theatre of Dreams is not a place where they can run wild!"

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

This Manchester United may not have that many talents.

But there is definitely no shortage of tough guys.

Most Manchester United players wanted to teach Sampdoria a lesson and let the Genoese feel the toughness of English football.

The Scottish coach continued: "Remember not to laugh at Marco Lanner. When a person has a bad reputation and no money, no one knows what he will do on the court."

Sure enough, there was a burst of laughter in the training ground.

Lanner's jokes had spread throughout Europe.

Even the Manchester United dressing room would use this name to tease teammates.

The Scottish coach breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his disciples relax.

The kids in the youth team are very talented, but it is too early for them to play against a team of Sampdoria's level.

……

The next day.

For many people it's just an ordinary day.

But it is an important day for British football.

This is the first time a British team has faced off against Europe's strongest team since they were banned.

Sampdoria's achievements in the past two seasons are there.

Even though they don't have a solid foundation, their current strength and condition are the strongest in Europe.

England fans are also curious about the outcome of this game.

For them, it might be about the glory of the British Empire.

But for Galliani, this game, no, the next games are all important.

During this period of time, he was no longer satisfied with this simple model with little reward.

Lu Deyang's matches were indeed risk-free, but the odds offered didn't satisfy him. He pondered for a moment before dialing a familiar number: "Five goals in a single match is only 1.4? What if Sampdoria wins all five of their next games... No? How could that be? Fine then, I'll bet on Deyang playing in all five of the next five games, Adriano Galliani, password c006187g24."

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but worry.

This is how the world works, high risk means high rewards.

Given Boskov's habits of using players, it would be difficult for Lu Deyang to play in five consecutive games.

But when he saw the names of Manchester United and the other four opponents, Galliani couldn't help but want to give it a try.

If Roma had performed better, Lu Dejan would have played.

At around 2 pm, the entire Sampdoria team got on the bus.

What’s interesting is that some local fans wearing blue jerseys cheered them on and held up signs asking them not to go easy on them.

“Those are Manchester City fans, right?”

Pagliuca asked.

"Yes, they are Manchester City fans," Vialli said. "They must be upset to see Manchester United win the championship for two consecutive years."

"We borrowed their training ground before, so we should at least meet their requirements."

Pagliuca said with some ease.

"Don't be careless."

Redondo reminded: "Dejan has already said that Manchester United is not easy to deal with."

"I know, Dad."

Paliukara joked in a long tone, making fun of Redondo's long-windedness.

Lu Deyang smiled and looked out the window.

If it weren't for Lu Kuwang, none of these teammates would be able to compare with the Manchester United players in terms of honors in their careers, even if they won some championships.

But now Sampdoria has much more honors than Manchester United in the same period. It's so strange.

Waiting for Dream Theater.

It's not so easy for Sampdoria players.

You can’t play football and not have heard the story of the Busby boys.

There have been many disasters in football history, but a story of resurgence like Manchester United's is unique.

The coach and captain who survived the plane crash rebuilt the team together and reached the top of Europe after a decade.

This is the most standard plot of sports inspirational movies, but it actually happened.

Especially since Italy has the reference of the Turin God Team, Manchester United's resurgence is even more precious.

Lu Deyang and his teammates quickly walked into the Theatre of Dreams.

Boskov immediately grabbed him and said, "Let's go to the press conference."

Lu Deyang nodded and left with Boskov.

When the two arrived at the press conference, the Scottish coach and Steve Bruce were already sitting there.

Ferguson looked in good spirits.

Even indoors, his face looked a little red.

When the generals from both sides arrived, reporters couldn't wait to start asking questions.

"Alex, do you think Manchester United will have the last laugh after two rounds?"

"The princess will be there to support Sampdoria. Will this have any impact on your team?"

"How big of a threat do you think Dejan is to Manchester United, Mr. Ferguson?"

"Tell me about the relationship between you and the princess, Dejan."

"You've praised Manchester United many times. What do you think is Manchester United's biggest threat, Dejan?"

"Dejan, do you think Manchester United's tactics lag behind Italian football?"

"..."

Bruce and Boscov became complete outsiders.

Fleet Street journalists did not ask them even token questions.

The old Scottish man pulled the microphone and said, "I'm not a charlatan. Don't ask me questions after the two-round final. It shows that you are not very smart. I said Manchester United will win. Can you guarantee that Manchester United will win? As for who the princess supports, that is her personal preference and will not affect the mentality of the team."

The English media didn't like him either.

The status of Scottish coaches is earned through results.

Sir Matt Busby was like that.

Shankly was the same way.

Even though Ferguson won two major championships, Fleet Street did not take him seriously.

The English naturally have an inexplicable sense of superiority over the Scots.

"Then can your players limit Dejan?"

A reporter asked in a strange voice.

Ferguson sneered and said in the same tone: "Steve, if you hold Dejan and prevent him from participating in the game, you don't have to play either."

Steve Bruce looked at the coach in confusion, and it took him a few seconds to realize that this was a joke.

The press conference fell silent, and Ferguson continued, "This is how I limit Dejan. If you have any good ideas, please tell me. After we win, I will convince the chairman to pay them consulting fees."

The reporters at the scene all curled their lips.

That's what they hate about Ferguson. He never suffers any loss.

The attitude towards them is also quite bad.

"Then are you willing to let Dejan play for Manchester United?"

one reporter asked.

Ferguson rolled his eyes and said: "I don't know how much Dejan's salary is, but Manchester United can't afford it."

Even if Lu Deyang's salary is only one-sixth of the total income, it would be 300 million pounds.

The total salary of Manchester United's first team is probably about that much.

Seeing that Ferguson was not cooperating, the reporters turned to look at Lu Deyang.

"Dejan, what do you think is the biggest problem with Manchester United? You have always attached great importance to Manchester United." asked a reporter with a Liverpool accent.

Ferguson and Bruce also pricked up their ears.

They were curious about this, too.

Judging from Ferguson's coaching achievements in recent years, it is good to bring Manchester United back to the championship race and win two championships at the same time, but how could Lu Deyang know that Manchester United would continue to be glorious.

Lu Deyang smiled and said: "Manchester United has a DNA, this is their heritage, they will never be defeated. Another Scottish coach stands here, and soon Mr. Ferguson will establish his own dynasty."

"Dynasty? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

The reporter asked directly.

He's from Liverpool!
Lu Deyang shrugged without answering.

Time will tell.

"Then who do you think is Manchester United's most threatening player?" the reporter asked.

"Manchester United have many dangerous players. I can't point to any one player, but the most dangerous player in Manchester United is definitely a player from Carrington. I am sure of that."

Lu Deyang said.

Every time Manchester United rises, youth training is the cornerstone.

The quality of youth players determines the strength of Manchester United's first team.

So when a Manchester United legend sends his child to Manchester City's youth training camp, Manchester United's performance in the future is already determined.

"Dejan, if you don't consider the salary, would you be willing to play football in the UK? You have a lot of fans in the UK!"

one reporter asked.

Ferguson was so angry that he laughed.

damn it.

He just said that Manchester United can't afford Lu Deyang's salary, so now he's not considering the salary anymore, right?

Why don't you consider the salary and become a war correspondent?

Lu Deyang nodded and said, "Yes, I am very willing to play in England. This is also my answer without considering the reality."

There was a burst of laughter.

Ferguson spoke again and said: "The press conference ends here, we still have to prepare for the game."

Lu Deyang cast a grateful look at the Scottish coach.

British journalists are so annoying.

Lu Deyang and Boskov returned to the locker room together.

I saw the captain's armband on his jersey again.

When he sat down to change his equipment, Lu Deyang chose to draw a lottery.

[Your good brother Viljoward has Soviet ancestry but doesn't have any artistic talent, so pick a player who speaks and behaves in an artistic way. Ding, you get the 1994-1995 Charity Shield, Manchester United vs. Blackburn, Eric Cantona single-game experience card]
