Chapter 307 Lu Deyang's Heart-Cleansing Mantra (Please Subscribe)
"Deyang Deyang Deyang..."

"Dejan scored a brilliant long-range goal. Even when surrounded on all sides, he can still easily find opportunities."

"Cruedelli shouted passionately."

He also doesn't like Juventus.

However, not everyone has Zeman's courage.

If you dare to talk about Juventus players taking calcium supplements, putting aside their personal safety, at the very least, their beloved commentary work is definitely over, and it will also affect their descendants. The whole family should pack their bags and leave the Apennines.

Life is full of compromises and concessions.

Before you try to show courage, ask yourself if you're willing to pay the price.

That's why Crudelli, who had been worried for so long, celebrated so wildly.

too strong.

Based on Krudelli's understanding of Lu Deyang, Lu Deyang must have noticed the opponent's unusual behavior.

But Lu Deyang scored a goal by minimizing physical contact, which is his football wisdom.

Some players need top coaches and to play in their familiar positions to deliver world-class performances.

Some players observe their opponents, find their tactical weaknesses, and become comparable to top coaches.

Lu Deyang is clearly the latter.

Players who can solve problems through their own efforts.

This goes beyond the significance of an ordinary player.

Sacchi was well aware of this.

Ferguson and even Boskov knew this.

Coaches who have coached Lu Deyang will understand this characteristic of his.

His on-field adjustments are always faster than the coach's instructions.

Therefore, even Sacchi never required Lu Deyang to play a certain role in the first half. If Lu Deyang's on-field responsibilities were fixed, it would actually affect his performance.

Even some players who play by instinct will constantly change their roles on the field.

If you don't think things through when you're at a disadvantage, then there's really no way you can develop further.

……

Baggio and Totti followed Lu Deyang on either side, celebrating wildly.

Such passion is not uncommon for the Little Prince.

However, this is not very common for Baggio, as Juventus is his former club.

The issues here still warrant further investigation.

"Dejan, why did you suddenly decide to shoot?"

Totti asked excitedly.

"Honestly, I never intended to enter the restricted area."

Lu Deyang said with a smile, "There are too many people around me. Every step forward I take, another person blocks my way. Other players are getting closer to me. In this situation, if a Juventus player is really surrounded by more than two defenders, let alone shooting, I'm afraid I'll be run over."

puff-

Baggio, listening from behind, found it quite amusing.

Crush them to death.

This description makes it sound like some kind of small insect.

However, it's quite apt to describe the exaggerated strength of Juventus players.

That's why boxing is divided into heavyweight classes.

Football players have more to say about it, since everyone's center of gravity, running style, and many other factors affect your strength, especially your upper body.

However, the heavier the weight, the stronger the resistance; too much strength will affect speed.

Players need to find a balance, a weight that best suits their height, center of gravity, and way of generating power.

Using medication directly breaks this common sense.

130 kilometers per hour is an incredibly high shooting speed; anything higher is the work of exceptionally gifted individuals, one in a million.

However, the drugs easily gave them the power to shoot at such high speeds; whether they could actually do it depended on their own power and technique.

Baggio suddenly felt that transferring to Milan was probably the best decision he ever made.

There may not be such a label, but to be able to overpower a Juventus team that was boosted by calcium supplements and win the Serie A title with a perfect record is already one of the greatest achievements in football history.

It's better if the fans don't know.

Baggio, a man of few words, cherishes these little secrets known only to a select few. These will be football memories that will bring him a smile to his face for many years to come.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they returned to the midfield.

The Juventus players were somewhat carried away.

If I can't win this, I won't be able to get past my own hurdle.

Athletes take drugs to win; if they can't win, then what's the point of taking the drugs?

A league match that had nothing to do with the championship actually ignited Juventus's killing intent.

It's hard to say that it wasn't caused by some medications.

Boksic then played a cross-court pass.

Vieri charged forward like a small tank, instantly creating a significant distance.

Baresi licked his dry lips.

To avoid physiological issues affecting his performance, he strictly controlled his water intake before the competition.

The veteran Milan captain knew in his heart that today's situation was probably the most difficult match of his career.

Totti's speed in intercepting the ball remained impressive.

Zidane didn't hold onto the ball; he stretched out his long leg and tapped it to the side. Di Livio ran to the wing to receive the ball, turned around to observe, and didn't rush to pass it out.

Lippi's lineup may change, but his tactics remain a refined version of the same set.

They emphasize teamwork, balance, and efficiency, even the full-backs are very cautious about making forward runs, the midfielders have a clear division of labor, and only the core number 10 position has the greatest freedom.

Juventus, who seem slow, can also be fast, but they are fast in transitions between attack and defense.

In positional play, they looked like an aging Dream Team that didn't like to pass the ball, playing slow-paced football.

Lu Deyang charged forward, but Di Livio showed no intention of passing the ball.

This clearly means we need to increase physical confrontation.

Teams that hate physical contact tend to have hot balls on their feet, and their passes are incredibly fast.

Lu Deyang wasn't in a hurry. When he was pressing, he preferred to seize moments like turning around and changing direction.

They had no intention of confronting Di Livio.

Lu Deyang cautiously stepped forward to try and extend his foot, but Di Livio quickly returned the pass.

Iuliano had already come up to meet them.

Totti turned and charged towards the wing, and Lu Deyang immediately retreated to prevent the opponent from lobbing the ball.

Iuliano could only pass the ball across, and Montero received it and quickly passed it forward to Deschamps.

Deschamps doesn't dribble fast, but he's very steady.

Besides being Juventus' metronome, the French captain is also a water level manager.

His and Ferrara's leadership is crucial for Juventus.

Ferrara would direct the defense, while Deschamps would remind his teammates of their positioning.

Such a cautious tactic rarely involves going all-in on high positions.

Savicevic charged up the flank, and Deschamps immediately passed the ball to the wing. Jugovic received the ball on the wing and advanced, while Deschamps also followed up with a run forward.

Di Livio's position on the other side began to drop.

This highly organized system of alternating forward runs in attack means that, apart from Zidane, no midfielder spends an extended period without the ball in the opponent's half.

Lu Deyang didn't chase after the ball; instead, he simply returned to Albertini's side.

Albertini smiled, knowing that it was because his defense was slightly worse than Redondo's.

Both teams played too cautiously.

With Van Basten absent, Totti needs to step up and act as the pivot.

Savicevic, on the contrary, was like Totti, who usually runs around like crazy.

Lu Deyang's positioning is a 4-3-1-2 formation, which is also one of Lippi's commonly used tactics.

Both Italian coaches have a significant impact on their teams, and this match is a showdown of tactics between the two Italian coaches.

Zidane received the ball near the center circle and immediately began to accelerate. As he dribbled forward, his teammates also began to move up.

"Demi!"

Lu Deyang gave him a reminder, and Albertini rushed forward.

Lu Deyang also started his charge towards Zidane.

Costacurta positioned himself early on to prevent Jugovic from combining with Zidane.

Albertini opted for a sliding tackle.

Lu Deyang rushed to Zidane's right side immediately.

This combination of blocking from the left and right sides still made things a bit difficult for Zidane.

He can dribble and jump over there, and he can do it.

But he knew that if he jumped over, he would inevitably run into Redondo's arms.

Somewhat frustrated, the French attacking midfielder could only pass the ball back, and Deschamps, receiving it again, turned and pushed it to Di Livio.

Juventus shifted their attack down the right flank.

This is a microcosm of the entire competition.

The showdown between the two champions was far less exciting than fans had hoped.

"Maldini fouled Deschamps, it was a foul in the attacking third, and neither team gave the other a chance to counter-attack. Between disrupting and building, it's clearly easier to hinder the opponent than to organize your own attack."

"Milan is currently leading by one goal, so it is more important to contain their attack. No matter when Juventus launches a full-scale attack, there will always be a point in time."

Sacchi stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, nodding repeatedly.

I am very satisfied with the players' tactical execution.

If they keep this up, Juventus will be torn apart by Milan's counter-attacks in the second half.

In the 38th minute, Costacurta intercepted the ball on the right wing and immediately passed it to Albertini.

Zidane quickly regained possession.

Albertini backheeled the ball back.

Before Wijnaldard could adjust his position after receiving the ball, Vieri turned and rushed towards him.

The veteran defender immediately turned and positioned himself before passing the ball to Buffon.

Buffon quickly passed the ball to the left wing.

Di Livio reached out to pull Maldini, but failed to stop him and turned to run back to his own half.

Maldini glanced at Lu Deyang's position but still chose to dribble forward himself.

Deschamps.

This is a short guy you can't help but take seriously.

Maldini decided to move the French captain around first, and then find an opportunity to pass the ball to Lu Deyang.

However, Deschamps was clearly determined. Maldini dribbled the ball to the halfway line, but the French captain still showed no intention of coming up to help.

Maldini, not wanting to continue his forward run, passed the ball across to the onrushing Redondo.

Redondo received the ball and immediately delivered a low, through pass.

Snapped,
Lu Deyang turned and ran, and Deshang followed him.

Instead, it was Di Livio who went after the ball.

Instead of waiting for the ball, Totti rushed to it, turned around, and used his heel to propel the rolling ball into the penalty area.

Baggio's timing for starting was excellent.

Taking advantage of Montero's focus on the left flank, he quickly started his charge forward.

Ferrara had no chance on the other side.

Upon seeing this, Peruzzi quickly rushed out of the goal.

Can he score into an empty net?

Baggio was also somewhat excited.

He judged that the opposing goalkeeper would be a step slower than him when he came up.

Just as Baggio was adjusting and preparing to tap the ball with his foot, Iuliano, who was rushing in from the left wing, made a diving save and headed the ball away.

Baggio, who had just swung his right foot, simply shifted his weight and fell to the side onto the grass.

There was no chance left, and he didn't want to kick the other person in the head.

This rather thrilling clearance drew cheers from Juventus fans. However, before the ball had gone far, Savicevic had already made his way up to the right flank, and the unmarked Montenegrin twisted and delivered a high-quality cross.

There were quite a few players from both sides in the penalty area, and Lu Deyang also rushed up from the left wing.

Ferrara was in a good position this time, and jumped first to head the ball out of the penalty area.

boom--

Albertini went up and kicked directly, and Borini displayed amazing power.

In this duel, Borini clearly had the upper hand, sending the ball soaring high towards the center circle, while Albertini fell to the ground clutching his calf.

Zidane controlled the ball with his chest and quickly delivered a long pass, a very precise pass that found the back of Milan's defense.

Baresi, who started alongside Vieri, was knocked off balance by a shoulder bump from a younger member of the national team. With no one marking him, Vieri rushed behind the ball and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot. Buffon, who was close by, jumped but couldn't stop it, and the ball flew into the right side of the goal.

Just before the first half was about to enter stoppage time, Juventus equalized.

"Oh shit!"

Saki swung his right hand fiercely and cursed dejectedly.

five minutes!
If they can hold on for just five more minutes, the team can go into halftime with an advantage.

The second half could have been much easier.

Unexpectedly, the score was tied at this point.

"Are you alright, Demi?"

Lu Deyang bent down and asked.

Albertini reached out his hand, and Lu Deyang quickly reached out and pulled him back.

Albertini, who had gotten up, said, "It's nothing serious. The ball must have hit my leg, but it really hurt."

He was still grimacing as he spoke.

"Be careful."

Lu Deyang patted Albertini on the shoulder and said.

"Do not worry."

Albertini smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Milan's backline was not so calm.

Buffon turned around to retrieve the ball and immediately slammed it into the goal.

"Damn, that shot power."

Buffon wanted to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Vieri's kick was more powerful than Lu Deyang's in most training sessions.

"My question, Gigi."

Baresi said with a wry smile.

"Don't take it all on yourself, old... captain," Buffon teased, drawing out his words.

Buffon, who was initially very angry, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Baresi like this.

He had some doubts about whether this person had ever experienced emotional fluctuations or lost control of their emotions on the field.

Is it really meaningful for someone to always be so calm?

"Old, Captain."

Maldini, for some reason, found it funny and came over to pat Baresi on the arm.

Baresi rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "I'll suggest to the coach that after I retire, I give the armband to Dejan and you get a younger captain."

Paul Ma: ...

More than 10 years.

He kept telling me that I was his successor.

Now that you're retiring, you're not going to pretend anymore?
Maldini vowed that if he ever encountered a talented defender, he would learn from Baresi's methods.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of all those years of my youth.

I can't be the only one acting like a fool.

Lippi celebrated wildly on the sidelines.

Both sides are back on equal footing.

In the second half, Milan's physical exertion will intensify, and their advantage will become increasingly significant.

Despite playing their Champions League match a day later and having 24 hours less preparation time than Milan, their physical condition is truly different – ​​a testament to the wonders of the human body versus the advancements of science.

Even if you run yourself to death, you can't surpass the limits of the human body.

But we can do it!
Thinking about this, Lippi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Regardless of how you won, if the urine test is normal, then it was a fair competition.

Zidane returned to his position early.

She turned to look at Lu Deyang, who was walking back.

Lu Deyang's performance was not bad, and his off-the-ball movement drew Juventus' defense very well.

But he always felt that Lu Deyang still had energy left.

This sounds absurd, suggesting that the calcium-deficient party has suppressed them without giving it their all, but he just has that intuition.

Lu Deyang made fewer breakthroughs than usual today.

Was he really shut down by his teammates?
Zidane, who had watched countless videos of Lu Deyang, was not sure.

beep—

Baggio's kickoff was a simple turn and a back pass.

Lu Deyang did not disappoint Baggio. After receiving the ball, he flicked it forward with the outside of his foot and began a rapid advance.

Di Livio came up very quickly.

However, Lu Deyang pushed the ball forward with his right foot and immediately flicked his ankle to pass it to the left wing.

A fried dough ball easily slipped past the opponent, without even giving Dilivio a chance to get close.

Oh shit.

Deschamps cursed under his breath and quickly moved to the middle lane to cover.

He suddenly moved to block Lu Deyang's path.

This was premeditated; they carefully observed Lu Deyang's footsteps and body movements.

It was as if the two of them were performing a double act. Lu Deyang, who was supposed to bump into him, took a step forward with his right foot while dribbling the ball at high speed, and pulled the ball with his left foot to rotate counterclockwise.

A counter-clockwise Genoa turn gracefully bypassed Deschamps.

Iuliano rushed towards Lu Deyang almost immediately.

Lu Deyang didn't have a chance to stand firm this time, but he made a choice.

As you shift your weight backward, pull your left foot back and push it forward.

Snapped--

"Baggio chose to cross, even though it looked like he was unmarked. But if he had held onto the ball for even a moment, the player chasing back would have been right next to him. This was the right choice, but unfortunately Peruzzi punched the ball away with both fists."

"Dejan is still Dejan. In this kickoff attack, we won't talk about how he dribbled past his opponent, but let's talk about the time he failed to dribble past him."

"After Genoa's turn, he immediately pulled back with his left foot and flicked the ball to Baggio. This reaction speed, along with his judgment and decisiveness on the field, are qualities that other players find difficult to learn. Most importantly, when we fall backward, we feel afraid and instinctively make other movements, but Dejan is not like that. Just from this backward pass, you can see many of Dejan's valuable qualities..."

Juventus also launched a quick counter-attack.

They are not a team that likes long passes, but in the penultimate round of passes, there were quite a few long passes, mostly to Zidane.

Deschamps relayed the gist of the message, but Costacurta stumbled when Zidane bumped into him during the header challenge, which did not cause any hindrance.

Before he could even get his footing, the Frenchman dribbled inside and unleashed a powerful shot.

Click,
It wasn't the far corner, but an unexpected near corner, aiming to hit the inside of the post.

This is not only due to confidence in one's shooting accuracy, but also to utilizing habitual thinking.

If no one is blocking him, the angle of the far corner is definitely larger, but he insists on shooting at the near corner.

If you can hit the ball accurately, this method can result in a high scoring rate.

Zidane, who was waiting to celebrate, immediately widened his eyes after taking the shot. He thought the ball would go in, but Buffon blocked it by stretching out his leg.

beep—

The first half of the game is over.

The score is 1-1.

Zidane, who almost scored, shook his head with some regret and walked back.

Seeing his retreating figure, Buffon spat and cursed, "What are you trying to show off for? Do you really think I'm some Albanian who's never seen the world before?"

Lu Deyang frequently used similar shots during training matches in Milan.

Buffon will always be wary of this.

That Mediterranean shot was far inferior to Dejan's.

Buffon walked back grumbling, and Baresi went over and patted his younger brother on the arm.

The young players on the team don't have great personalities, but their skills are absolutely top-notch.

Seeing the ball's trajectory, Baresi thought they were about to concede another goal, but he didn't expect Buffon to get off the ground so quickly.

As his teammate, I was always amazed by his talent.

Moreover, this kid is a natural-born goalkeeper, and his positioning is also excellent.

"I'm going to report them!"

Totti rubbed his shoulder and walked back.

He really suffered a lot today.

Positioned in front of the defense, he is often double-teamed by two defenders.

Damn, they're all incredibly energetic.

Do you know where to report this?

Buffon, who was walking from the backfield, asked.

"The Italian Football Federation, no, the International Anti-Doping Agency."

Totti said smugly.

This is a word he recently heard on a sports program.

"Hurry back to the locker room, or someone might overhear you."

Costacurta said with a smile.

The Milan players chatted and laughed as they walked toward the locker room.

Although they were tied in the final moments, they still dominated the game today.

Many people took off their shoes as soon as they returned to the locker room.

I only noticed some bruises on my calves and other parts of my body after taking off my socks.

"These damn bastards."

"Shall we get something to eat next time?"

"Red Bull? Want something else?" Maldini gave Totti a slap in an annoyed tone.

"They're abnormal, but can't we complain about it?"

Totti rubbed the back of his head and complained.

"Either you don't say you're reporting it, or you actually do it."

Buffon said from the side.

It's not just about letting others hear it; it'll only cause trouble for yourself.

“Spend more time reading the Bible, Albanians. Only God can save you now,” Totti retorted.

The unrest in that country is still ongoing.

They've swindled all the money from the lower levels; it won't be easy to smooth things over.

"Can you even write the Bible? You keep talking about it all the time. If you can name the 13 disciples, I'll buy you the best car," Buffon said dismissively.

Totti was stunned, then turned to Baggio and asked, "Do you believe in any scriptures that offer peace of mind and prevent complaining?"

"I know about the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, but it will take you some time to learn it."

Baggio said with a smile.

He didn't care whether Totti used him to interrupt or answered seriously.

"It's really troublesome."

Totti muttered.

Lu Deyang said, "It's not that difficult. You just need to curse more people. Once you swear out the swear words, your heart will be clean. That's the 'Heart-Cleansing Mantra'."

Baggio rolled his eyes; it was the first time he'd ever heard someone explain it like that.
