If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 153 Veni vidi vici (Subscribe)

Strength, balance, and the ability to shoot first.

Plus the extraordinary ability shown in the first goal.

Lu Deyang made the entire Dream Theater stagnant.

Even if they have watched Serie A, the poor broadcasting quality of Serie A cannot reflect the strength of the league.

But after watching Sampdoria's game live, these British fans found that the Serie A team is much stronger than what they saw on TV.

This was a level they had never seen before.

It was even a level they had not imagined. Even Mark Hughes, the ace striker who had trained in Barcelona, seemed to be far from Lu Deyang's level.

Busby and his children fell silent.

Ferguson's children were having a great time discussing it.

"It's terrible, luckily I'm not the starter."

Gary Neville said exaggeratedly: "If I were to play against him, I'd probably break my legs."

"That's for the best, Gary."

Philip Neville said.

"You should call me brother, Phil!" Gary Neville emphasized.

His younger brother is one of the best players in the youth team and is extremely talented, which leaves him with only one advantage: age.

“I don’t think my speed is necessarily slower than his.”

Ryan Giggs suddenly said.

"But your shooting is definitely not as good as his," said Gary Neville.

"I think so."

Nicky Butt said over his shoulder.

Beckham looked at the silent Scholes and asked, "Paul, what do you think?"

"They are right David, this is not an opponent we can deal with. If I were to defend him, I couldn't think of any other way except to make a tackle."

Scholes said in a muffled voice.

He is not a man of many words.

He is severely nearsighted and also has albinism.

I developed asthma after being stuffed into a washing machine by the older brothers.

However, he is not completely introverted and likes to play pranks with his familiar youth team teammates.

“It’s really strong.”

Beckham nodded and said: "Watching their games is like watching a team from another planet. That number seven is simply an alien."

"That's what the Italians called him."

Bart took out his notebook and opened it. He said, "He is the King of Genoa, the Protector of the Apennines, the Conqueror of Munich and Marseilles, the man who overthrew the Roman Empire, the favorite foreign player of the workers in Madrid... Most importantly, he is a good friend of our princess, and a knight of some kind, maybe Lancelot or something."

"Idiot, if the reporters hear you say this, we'll be in big trouble!"

Philip Neville said.

Lancelot is the queen's adulterer.

Isn't this equivalent to accusing the princess of cheating?
Bart stuck out his tongue and found that no fans noticed. He felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

They have performed very well in the youth team, but few Red Devils fans know them except for those die-hard fans who like to watch the youth team games.

Some fans even deliberately avoided them.

I’m afraid they’re not yet adults and are planning to cause trouble.

In the UK, minors are probably the most outrageous in the world.

The murder of a couple in that movie was not artistic processing; it was something that British teenagers really did.

……

"Keep an eye on Dejan!!!"

The Scottish coach shouted to the field: "Don't think you are champions. The midfield and the wingers must focus on defense, especially you Andre. Treat him like the Germans in Stalingrad!"

Andrei Kanchelskis: ...

Isn't that a life-and-death fight?
Not just for one game.

The most important thing is that he has played in England for so long that he no longer has such deep feelings for the Soviet Union.

The Soviet leaders themselves yearn for the free world, so we can't ask them to be loyal to the sickle and the hammer.

Manchester United players finally discovered a shocking fact.

That is, the opponent's counterattack efficiency is much higher than theirs.

Whenever Lu Deyang got the ball and launched a counterattack, he would hit the target every time.

The previous pass failed to score a goal. This is the gap between Lu Deyang and his teammates.

"Let Dejan pass the ball today."

Steve Bruce said.

Blackmore and Paul Ince nodded in unison.

This is the best way.

Players from both sides walked towards the midfield.

McClair knocked the ball across to Mark Hughes, who quickly passed it back to Kanchelskis.

The Soviet winger who originally wanted to break through remembered the coach's instructions and chose to pass the ball back to Erwin.

Vialli pressed the ball very quickly.

Alvin could only drive forward.

McClair saw Redondo and didn't think much about it. He jumped up to compete for the header immediately. Soon he felt a huge force coming from his shoulder and he was knocked over in the air.

There was a burst of amazement at Dream Theater.

The British fans watching the game at Old Trafford today felt like bumpkins, and they needed to be surprised at everything they saw from Sampdoria.

The technical disadvantage is understandable, but English Football League One is known for its physical confrontation and brutality.

The ball flies in the sky, people chase it on the ground, and they kick it when they meet.

Fouls are met with applause.

But now even their strengths have been surpassed, which is hard for British fans to accept.

Especially the fans of other teams, they booed at the Theatre of Dreams.

Let Manchester United players be more ruthless.

Show the momentum of English football.

Blackmore wanted to take advantage of Redondo's unstable landing to grab the ball, but Redondo turned his body to the side, pushed the opponent away with his arm, and calmly passed the ball to Parry.

Ferguson's eyes lit up as he watched from the sidelines.

When I met Redondo during the holidays, I invited him out of courtesy.

But after inspecting the goods on site, he found that Redondo was really strong.

He is better defensively than Blackmore and Ince, and even more talented offensively.

The most important thing is that he has a quality that is very rare in today's midfield. He doesn't rush forward as soon as he gets the ball, but instead controls the rhythm.

It is difficult to find such players in today's football world.

He plans to discuss the matter with club president Martin Eduardo later and, if possible, bring Redondo from Sampdoria.

Parry and Redondo controlled the tempo in midfield.

There was no rush to attack when we were one goal ahead.

Seeing Lu Deyang making a forward run, Redondo carried Blackmore and made a long pass.

This time the long pass was sent into the penalty area.

Both Lu Deyang and Redondo knew that this forward run was a feint to attract the opponent's defensive attention.

The Manchester United players were fooled.

Fortunately, Lee Martin returned to defense in time and blocked Mancini's position, so that his pass was blocked. Bruce returned to the penalty area and turned around to clear the ball, but was blocked by Vialli's foot.

The ball fell to the left again.

Lu Deyang took the ball and turned around and kicked it towards the right post. Vialli jumped up and headed the ball. The header was fast and tricky, but it was still blocked by Schmeichel sideways and went out of the baseline.

The Danish goalkeeper stood up and started scolding his teammates again.

Vialli looked at Mancini and said: "Now I see that Gianluca is still quite cute."

"Idiot, don't you feel weird saying that?"

Mancini cursed.

Vialli is also known as Gianluca.

"Italians are really lacking in imagination. If I have a child, I will add Ski or Love after his name so that I won't be afraid of having the same name as him."

Vialli joked.

"It's too late for you to surrender to the Soviet Union now. Maybe you can ask that Manchester United winger if he has any connections." Mancini also teased.

The two of them always tell some jokes on the court.

"Hurry up and shoot the free throw!"

Schmeichel shouted.

Mancini shrank his neck and walked towards the corner flag area.

Oh shit.

This Manchester United goalkeeper even cursed his opponents.

Mancini took a run-up and quickly took a corner kick, but the ball was too close to the goal and was successfully caught by Schmeichel after jumping up.

Schmeichel loudly reminded his teammates to counterattack and threw the ball more than 30 meters away.

Neil Webber on the left took the ball and rushed forward madly.

Dossena was not in his position, so Mannini had to move forward to fill the position.

Webber was the hero of Manchester United's victory over Barcelona in the Cup Winners' Cup last season, but his position is unstable this season and he really wants to prove himself.

This time, the two of them were still some distance apart, so he wanted to speed up and eat them alive.

Always adjusting the rhythm of dribbling the ball.

Mannini almost laughed out of anger.

Is it so obvious?

He deliberately didn't rush to steal the ball, but gave Weber a chance.

Webber suddenly pushed the ball forward, trying to force a pass.

Mannini didn't even start immediately, but waited half a second before turning around.

As he touched the ball, Neil Webber bumped into his back and easily completed the steal.

As a teammate of a world-class central defender, his defensive side is not bad.

Even facing Maradona, there is still a chance.

This overly obvious separation between man and ball can be said to be at the elementary school level.

Mannini got the ball and passed it back quickly, Viljoward passed it forward, Redondo passed it to Lanner at the first time, and the ball was shoveled out of bounds by Paul Ince.

"Paul, keep your eyes on him!"

Ferguson shouted.

Ince nodded, knowing exactly who the coach was talking about.

Lanner threw the ball outside the sideline, and Redondo took advantage of the situation and the ball flew to the left side of the frontcourt.

With his back to the goal, Lu Deyang's chest felt smooth, and he immediately raised his foot and kicked the ball over the head of Steve Bruce who was trying to steal the ball. After turning around, Lu Deyang started straight away.

"Steve Bruce's name is made up of two superheroes, but he looks like a Mercedes truck in front of Dejan. Every time he looks powerful, he is always easily avoided."

Martin Taylor complained.

You have to know that what Ferguson valued most when he came to Manchester United was the defenders, and he started to build the team only after forming the defensive line.

It seems that all Manchester coaches are similar in this regard.

Bruce usually performs very well in League One.

But he didn't get any advantage in front of Lu Deyang or even Mancini.

When Lu Deyang rushed forward, Irving, who was chasing back, kept pulling his jersey from behind.

After getting the ball, Lu Deyang flicked it with his right foot and then volleyed the ball to the right with his left foot. Parist made a great contribution by heading the ball back into the penalty area.

Schmeichel successfully received the ball again.

Johansson said in front of the TV: "Adjust the return pass rules. The goalkeeper can't catch the return pass directly with his hands."

As a very perceptive football practitioner, he has discovered that the current back-pass rules will affect the viewing experience of the game.

The teams in this period actually had higher defensive lines than later because the defenders could pass the ball back to their teammates.

Changing this rule would have a huge impact on game tactics.

Schmeichel did not throw the ball quickly this time.

But waited a moment.

As a goalkeeper, he doesn't consume much energy, but the Manchester United players consume a lot of energy chasing back.

In addition to commanding the defense, a top goalkeeper can also help the team delay time to a certain extent.

Just like this time.

As soon as he threw the ball, Sampdoria started pressing immediately.

So he chose to give his teammates some time.

A few seconds later, he threw the ball to the right at the referee's urging.

Irwin took the ball and advanced, and Kanchelskis quickly moved forward.

The combination of these two people is similar to Lu Deyang and Lan Na.

Irwin is not as strong as Lanner in offense, but his defense is a little stronger. However, his cross accuracy is still good. British players have put a lot of effort in this aspect.

Thinking he could make a long pass, Irving was not in a hurry to pass the ball forward.

At this time, Redondo rushed up again.

When Irving wanted to pass the ball, he found that Redondo did not give him any chance to adjust.

The passing method of flicking the ball and then swinging the arm is simply not feasible.

By the time he wanted to pass the ball to Bruce, Mancini was already blocking the passing route.

In an instant, all of Irving's passing routes were successfully blocked.

"Be careful!!!"

Irving also carefully protected the ball sideways to block Redondo's feet.

At this time, Bruce's shout was heard.

He subconsciously turned around, and Lanner had already rushed behind him and poked the ball, and the ball rolled just in front of him.

This time the offense and defense changed, Redondo rushed forward and blocked the position directly, preventing Irwin from counterattacking at the first time, and then passed the ball forward, allowing Lanner to attack Manchester United's right side.

Lanner dribbled the ball to the top corner of the penalty area, where Steve Bruce was already running towards him.

Lanner got the ball and immediately passed it back to Lu Deyang in front of the penalty area.

Snapped--

Lu Deyang made an unconventional move.

He leaned sideways with his right foot to support himself, and then he knocked the inside of his left foot against the inside of his right foot. He then moved his right foot slightly to pick up the ball, and the ball just passed over the players from both teams in front of the penalty area.

Lanner rushed into the penalty area, got the ball and adjusted his left foot to shoot. Schmeichel chose to attack. Halfway through, he opened his arms to save the ball, but failed to stop Lanner's shot. The ball flew over his head and directly into the right side of the goal.

After scoring the goal, Lana turned around and ran, directly into Lu Deyang's arms.

This was his first goal of the season.

Mancini didn't even move forward, but looked up and observed with the opposing defender, but he felt that this might be an opportunity so he chose to move, and he didn't expect to actually score a goal.

"Lanna changed the score again." "Today's game was pretty much what I expected. Manchester United's style of play and physical exploitation made Sampdoria a little uncomfortable, but even so, Sampdoria still had the advantage both on the field and on the scoreline. In the face of absolute strength, strange tactics had no effect."

"Dejan's pass this time is a work of art. I always think Dejan likes to score goals, but sometimes his teammates can't score. Once his teammates have a chance, Dejan will immediately make a wonderful pass."

"Again, if I were teammates with Dejan, I could score 50 goals a season."

Rossi said with a smile.

He and Lu Deyang really missed each other. What made him regretful was that Lu Deyang emerged a few years after he retired.

Just a few years.

Otherwise, with his ability, he would definitely score more goals.

"Shouldn't Ferguson change his tactics?" Jim Beglin said. "Kanchelskis and Irwin were completely matched up against Dejan and Lanner on the wing. Perhaps the Scotsman wanted to use offense to counter offense. But the reality was that his team was completely suppressed on this side, and Irwin often had to go back to defend."

"Maybe, but even if it's Lee Martin, I don't think he has any way to deal with Dejan," said Martin Taylor.

"That's true. Dejan's dribbling ability is far superior to that of the English League One wingers. No wonder Ferguson has been calling for the relaxation of the work permit policy. Now we have to face up to this fact. The English League One has fallen behind."

"That's true, but the FA may not agree."

Put your hands on your hips and lower your head.

That's how Manchester United players behave.

This lightly-handed pass caused them great harm.

The defense line was neat, with a total of seven players near the penalty area, but they were able to easily lift the ball into the penalty area and provide an assist.

So what are these defensive players doing?

"Okay, cheer up."

Steve Bruce advised: "The game is far from over. Mark just scored a goal. Maybe he can score another one."

"Steve is right, we still have a chance."

Clayton Blackmore nodded and said, "As long as we don't give up."

"We don't have a chance to give up if we don't want to die." Paul Ince nodded to the sidelines.

Several people didn't dare to look at the sidelines, but they could imagine Ferguson's expression.

Their coach can accept losing, but cannot accept them giving up the game.

Webber fought so hard today. He was thrown to the bench at the beginning of the season, but after a few games on the bench, his attitude immediately improved.

"Then come on, keep watching Dejan!"

Steve Bruce looked up at the time and said.

It's been more than 30 minutes.

Not continuing to concede goals in the first half can be considered a staged victory. Their coach will definitely make adjustments to the opponent's tactics during the half-time break.

This is the consensus of Manchester United players.

Ferguson has a bad temper, but he is very talented.

"Be careful, we don't need to score more goals."

Boskov yelled to the field.

Having lived through the civil war in his homeland, he now has a hunger for success far greater than before.

Even though he knew that becoming an excellent coach would not be able to influence the domestic situation, he still wanted to give it a try.

The Yugoslav coach looked at Lu Deyang on the field.

African warlords once stopped fighting because Pele was going to play football. Perhaps Dejan can do the same.

But it was just his imagination. Even if Lu Deyang agreed, Mantovani and Monica would not allow Lu Deyang to go to such a dangerous place.

"be careful."

Lu Deyang also reminded.

No matter how well we play in the first half, it is only half the game.

Besides, the first half isn't over yet.

Ferguson's team scored many goals in the final minutes of the game.

The main thing is that the players have been working hard.

Lu Deyang doesn't believe that a score of 3:1 will defeat the Red Devils. Even their old rivals in Serie A will not give up so easily.

After Manchester United kicked off, they passed the ball back and organized an attack in the backcourt.

Schmeichel received the ball and passed it forward, and Steve Bruce immediately passed the ball horizontally.

Irving continued to run forward with the ball.

His speed is also quite fast, and most importantly, he has strong confrontation ability.

Vialli was forced through at first sight.

By the time he turned around, Erwin had already rushed several meters away.

Lu Deyang knew that he might not have a chance to steal the ball, but he still chose to rush forward.

What surprised Lu Deyang was that Alvin was obviously on guard against his and Lanner's tactics. When he saw him rushing forward, he immediately dribbled the ball diagonally towards the middle.

Redondo immediately stretched out his hand to signal Lu Deyang not to chase back, he would be responsible.

Lu Deyang smiled, nodded, and rushed forward.

It really makes people feel at ease to have teammates like this behind them.

Irwin didn't dare to continue dribbling the ball, and kicked it forward quickly, hoping to transfer it to Webber's feet, but Dossena reacted quickly, jumped up and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Webber immediately took the ball from the caddie and threw it out, starting a fast break.

Mark Hughes passed the ball into the penalty area. McClair's shot was blocked by Materazzi, and Blackmore, who rushed up, passed the ball to the side again.

This time Weber lifted the ball to the far end of the penalty area. Kanchelskis rushed into the penalty area and volleyed the ball, but was blocked by Pagliuca who fell to the ground. McClair's follow-up shot was again blocked by Materazzi.

"That kid did a great job."

Pezzotti said with a smile.

Because the team lacks suitable defenders, he and other members of the coaching staff have always paid close attention to Materazzi.

We also put a lot of effort into his training.

He was very happy to see Materazzi perform well.

"Marco is really good and he has physical advantages, but shouldn't we work harder on defense?" said Boskov.

Sometimes Materazzi likes to participate in the attack too much, which gives him a headache.

Pezzotti nodded somewhat awkwardly.

He is the type of player who is developed according to the style he likes to play.

So Materazzi's habit of running forward was indeed not corrected.

The game was in a stalemate, so the two started chatting on the sidelines.

Manchester United caused them some trouble at the beginning of the game today, but after getting familiar with the opponent's rhythm, the game was back under Sampdoria's control.

He also saw that Manchester United's coach was imitating the tactics of the Dutch national team.

But after all, Paul Ince and Blackmore are not Rijkaard or Gullit.

There is not much hope of advancing through the midfield.

The Dutch Three Musketeers have never defeated Sampdoria, but their strength is still top-notch in Europe, and there is almost no other combination like them.

As the first half was coming to an end, Kanchelskis dribbled the ball from the right and rushed into the penalty area and almost scored, but fortunately Paluka blocked the ball out of the baseline in time.

As the referee blew the whistle, players from both sides walked to the sidelines again.

"Glory Glory Man United, Glory Glory Man United..."

The Dream Theater's sound system was playing a poor quality tape, but it did not affect the song's passionate and uplifting spirit at all.

Before Lu Deyang reached the sidelines, he heard Mr. Ferguson speaking to the Manchester United players.

"Don't act like your salary has been confiscated. We haven't lost yet, and this game isn't over. Even if it's over, there's still a second round, so hold your heads high and don't keep them down!!!"

Lu Deyang smiled and shook his head.

It was indeed difficult to defeat Manchester United during the Ferguson era.

"How's it going Dejan?"

Boskov came up and asked.

"It's okay, but the weather is a bit cold."

Lu Deyang said.

The temperature difference in Genoa is also very large at this time, but it is still different from the humidity after a rainy day in Manchester.

Boskov turned around and took a piece of clothing from the coaching bench and put it on Lu Deyang.

This move made Manchester United's generals and coaches stop and take notice.

Then the strong Scottish accent sounded again.

"You want me to be your babysitter, then you should score five goals against Real Madrid first. I don't mind special treatment, but you have to show enough performance..."

Manchester United players rushed into the tunnel with their necks shrunk and their heads raised.

Away locker room.

"I didn't see any pretty girls in the stands."

Paluka, who was sitting cross-legged, complained.

His teammates suppressed Manchester United, and he had many opportunities to observe.

"That's how the British are. I wouldn't go to England to play football for the girls." Mancini nodded.

"You're married!"

Vialli reminded.

"But it's not illegal to look at beautiful girls. Scientists have studied that looking at beautiful girls more often can help you live longer," said Mancini.

Lu Deyang: ...

He has seen similar research after 2000.

Later, it gradually became less and less.

Boskov simply drew a few circles on the tactical board, wrote the jersey numbers of both teams, and said, "Your performance was not that exciting. I have always been curious about what two Marcos equal. You gave the answer: two Marcos equals Mark Hughes' GOAL!"

There was laughter in the locker room.

Boskov's witticisms have improved.

"Boss, we will do our best."

Lana assured immediately.

Materazzi quickly nodded.

"That's great. I will find an opportunity to replace Dejan in the second half. All you need to do is let us leave with a victory." Boskov said.

He was a little worried that Lu Deyang might not be able to adapt to such weather.

It would be bad if you catch a cold.

The locker room became even more chaotic.

Mancini and a few others were cheering.

Boskov didn't care either.

These players have always been like this.

Lu Deyang, who was eating an energy bar on the side, also started laughing.

It feels magical no matter how long you play at Samp.

There is not such an obvious gap between the players and the coach. The most important thing is that Boskov and Pezzotti let everyone go and even joke with them, but no player goes too far to challenge the coach's authority.

This in itself is a very strange thing.

Cantona, the future Manchester United king, was sold by Leeds United coach Howard Wilkinson, who valued authority, just because he always wanted a fixed starter.

In football, there is always an infinite power between the coach and the player.

When the two Reds competed for supremacy, Ferguson was the stronger side.

Arsenal's players are more assertive, and the coach's decline has led them to publicly express their dissatisfaction in the newspapers. Something similar is unlikely to happen at Manchester United.

Lu Deyang has always suspected that the reason why Class 92 is so competitive after retirement is that it is a rebound from being suppressed too much during their playing days.

After the fifteen-minute break, both sides returned to the court.

Manchester United did not make any adjustments to the lineup immediately.

When they restarted the game, Hughes quickly passed the ball to Kanchelskis.

Kanchelskis deliberately observed Lanner's position and wanted to force a breakthrough past Lu Deyang.

Redondo took a run-up and kicked the ball directly out.

Mannini almost couldn't stop on the wing.

Oh shit!

The Scottish coach almost cursed.

We talked so much to them in the midfield, but we gave the ball away at the beginning of the second half, right?

Mannini got the ball on the right and passed it forward immediately.

Lu Deyang received the ball with his back to the goal. In front of him were three midfielders. Irving rushed up directly from behind.

Lu Deyang, with his back to the goal, was not in a hurry to turn around. He pushed the ball with his right foot to let Irving move with him, and then he pushed the ball back with the outside of his right foot. At this time, he turned around.

click -

Irving, who had just adjusted his center of gravity, wanted to stretch his foot, but unexpectedly Lu Deyang knocked his foot again with his right foot, and instead of going to the right, he rushed past him.

The fooled Irving chased back frantically, and Lu Deyang strode with the ball.

Seeing this, Steve Bruce rushed forward to block Lu Deyang's advancing path.

Snapped--

While running, Lu Deyang made a diagonal pass and ran forward himself.

Vialli still didn't expect that Lu Deyang would pass the ball. He felt a little awkward when receiving the ball. He adjusted himself and waited for Parist to pass before he stood firm.

Vialli quickly kicked his right foot and completed a wall kick with Lu Deyang.

Parist shifted his target and chased after Lu Deyang.

Steve Bruce, who was thrown away, immediately raised his hand to signal offside, but the linesman did not make any comment.

This made the Manchester United captain feel very disappointed.

As soon as Lu Deyang entered the penalty area, he slowed down immediately.

Parist knew something was wrong and tried to block Lu Deyang's shot, but Lu Deyang's calf moved down too fast, causing him to miss the ball.

Oh shit.

Schmeichel cursed inwardly as he rushed out of the penalty area, stretching his arms out as far as he could. However, the ball was a bit high, and he was too far forward to touch it. The ball flew past his hand and went into the intersection of the left post and crossbar.

4:1! ! !

“Goal!”

“Goal!”

“Goal!”

"Dejan Goal!"

"A signature Dejan goal!"

"Even though he could break through on his own, he still had to give his teammates a chance to assist. This is Dejan, and this is the secret to Sampdoria's unity. Vialli got an assist inexplicably, which was given to him by Dejan."

"Dejan scored a hat trick at Old Trafford. The camera turned to Sir Matt Busby. The legendary coach had a serious look on his face. It was obvious that he didn't know how to limit Dejan's performance."

"In fact, I knew from the beginning that the English had no chance. Maybe Dejan's praise of Manchester United and their coach was just polite words."

After scoring the goal, Lu Deyang looked around the entire Theatre of Dreams.

Combined with the dark blue of his turned-up collar, he looks extremely majestic.

After looking around, Lu Deyang opened his arms and hugged his teammates who came up to celebrate.
