If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 308 One Hit, One Kill (Please Subscribe)

Anyone who enjoys watching live streams has seen it; even professional players are vulnerable when faced with cheaters.

Totti's feelings are understandable.

After standing at the door listening for a while, Sacchi entered and said directly, "You all know Juventus has become stronger again, right..."

A chorus of boos erupted from the locker room.

Sacchi laughed and said, "So today's game won't be easy. Those Torino players deliberately lined up before the game to show their sportsmanship. Beating us with underhanded tactics will only earn them more praise. But such schemes won't work on us. They like physical play, right? We need more set pieces in the attacking third in the second half. Savicevic, you need to dribble and create more set pieces, understand?"

Dejan Savicevic: ...

It's not very polite to address someone by their surname.

Okay, well, what can you do when the team has two Dejans?

But what's with the fuck getting the ball more often?

Set pieces always involve physical contact, and given Juventus' current situation, strong physical contact can easily lead to injuries.

This clearly shows that he is not as important as players like Baggio and Totti.

Although he was dissatisfied, Savicevic did not voice his dissatisfaction.

A team's status is earned through its performance.

If he could consistently secure a foreign player spot, Sacchi wouldn't have let him do this kind of thing.

This can be considered a fairly reliable tactic.

For a period of time, Southampton were practically half-scoring by Ward-Prowse. His free kicks in the attacking third were so accurate that he could break through any defense with sheer force. No matter what tactics you used, he would score from free kicks.

Juninho's six shots and one extra goal is the best proof of that.

Their free-kick efficiency is now on par with that of an excellent striker shooting inside the penalty area.

Sacchi came quickly and left quickly.

They didn't linger in the locker room.

He didn't seem to care as much about the outcome of the match as he appeared.

After all, they had already won the league title.

If he had to choose between keeping his players healthy and winning the game, he would definitely choose keeping his players healthy.

However, as a coach, he cannot express it so directly.

Your coach doesn't care about winning or losing, and that's devastating to the team's morale.

"I'll treat you to dinner after we win today."

Baresi said.

"Come on, Captain, you were holding your credit card the whole time you treated us last time," Maldini joked.

"Exactly, does that mean we can't treat everyone if we don't win?"

"Costacurta said from the side."

Baresi glared at the two of them.

I have a feeling that after the new players arrived, these guys who have been on the team for many years started to become unruly.

Tired.

People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.

The players started discussing what they would eat if they won the game.

At that time of night, all the proper shops are closed.

You either have to say hello to a familiar shop, or you can only go to places like night markets.

The competition days are even more exciting in those places.

It's not that I look down on barbecue at night markets, but when the whole team goes to celebrate, there aren't enough tables, and we're also more likely to be bothered by fans who are drunk.

Even if someone politely comes over frequently to ask for an autograph, it still affects everyone's mood while eating.

In the end, Costacurta called a bar owner he knew and asked him to prepare some ingredients so that they wouldn't be serving any other customers that night.

"We've already decided where to celebrate. Even if we don't win, we can't afford to lose."

Baresi stood up, pumped his fist, and shouted, "FORZA MILAN!"

"FORZA MILAN!"

……

I ran into Juventus players as I left the locker room, but neither side greeted me.

Both teams are on edge today; they might even come to blows.

If you strike up a conversation at this point, you might become a target after the match.

Newspapers have no morals whatsoever.

A photo of you laughing and joking with the other person, and a photo of you losing the game—just switch their order and you can set the tone.

The methods of creating graphics and data on the internet are things that traditional media have grown tired of.

Both coaches were cautious and did not make any substitutions.

Milan immediately passed the ball back after kickoff.

Redondo and Albertini controlled the tempo in midfield, and it was difficult to win back possession without three or four players pressing together.

Di Livio and Jugovic pressed aggressively.

Redondo received the ball again and flicked it with his left foot to avoid Zidane's foot. Seeing Deschamps also rushing up, Redondo turned and delivered another long ground pass.

Jugovic received the ball and started charging forward.

Although he was not satisfied with Sacchi's arrangements, he still cherished the opportunity to perform.

This Montenegrin player also has excellent footwork skills.

As a left-handed player, he is also a rare two-footed player. Knowing that Deschamps is difficult to deal with, he simply kept dribbling the ball to increase his speed, not giving the French captain any chance to get close.

Borini rushed forward and stretched out his leg, but Savicevic flicked the ball past him.

He still remembered Sacchi's tactical arrangements.

However, when the opponent shifted their defensive focus, Savicevic still opted to pass the ball sideways.

Totti, positioned at the edge of the box, rushed forward and attempted a delicate chip shot with his right foot, but misjudged the force and the ball ended up in Peruzzi's arms.

"Milan launched an attack immediately after the start of the second half. Totti's lob shot was a bit weak this time, but his footwork was quite surprising. The posture looked like a long-range shot. Totti's shooting is still very deceptive."

"Peruzzi was calling out to his teammates to be careful. This was AC Milan's first time getting the ball in the second half and they threatened the goal. If this continues, it's only a matter of time before Juventus concedes a goal."

"Today, AC Milan players tend to shoot from outside the penalty area... Juventus launched a counter-attack, still giving the ball to Deschamps. Deschamps dribbled forward, wanting to take advantage of AC Milan's lack of positioning for a counter-attack. Deschamps passed the ball, and Zidane controlled it with his chest and then forcefully broke through the defenses of Redondo and Albertini. That was a really beautiful move."

He got past two defensive midfielders.

Zidane has already dribbled the ball towards the defensive line.

With both Boksic and Vieri near the penalty area, a 4-on-3 situation in the backfield is still very dangerous.

Wiljoward dashed out decisively, carefully adjusting his position to cut off passing lanes on one side.

Without hesitation, Zidane quickly flicked a through ball with his toe.

The strategy is to attack down the middle and let Vieri fight Baresi.

Fortunately, the Milan captain reacted quickly, turning around and sweeping the ball towards the penalty area, where Buffon cleared it out of danger with a long kick.

Buffon's passes almost always go towards the left flank, unless he deliberately adjusts his position.

This is muscle memory developed during training.

Lu Deyang judged the landing point and started moving directly, but he was immediately grabbed by the arm by Di Livio. His left foot stepped out but his right foot could not follow. Seeing this, the referee blew his whistle.

Yellow card!

Such a big move, even though it's not in the frontcourt.

There is no doubt about it.

Totti shoved Di Livio and pointed at him, warning, "Don't think we're afraid of you. Watch your step."

Sacchi, standing on the sidelines, gasped.

Totti is indeed an unpredictable factor for the team.

He doesn't mind Totti standing up for Ludjohn, but doesn't he know that accumulating yellow cards will lead to a suspension?

This has already affected Sacchi's upcoming league schedule.

Totti was indeed punished.

Saki rubbed his teeth together with his tongue, but didn't utter the curse.

Sometimes he really wished that the team's talents all had the same personality as Baggio, at least they wouldn't cause trouble.

Redondo came on and quickly kicked off.
Lu Deyang received the ball and turned around, and Di Livio immediately stretched out his leg.

Lu Deyang hooked his right foot past his opponent and immediately ran forward two steps, deliberately using his calf muscles to spring his right foot out.

As Iuliano prepared to press forward, he instinctively stretched out his leg to prevent Lu Deyang from sending the ball with a curved pass.

Lu Deyang had a similar ground-ball assist when playing against Dortmund.

However, after Lu Deyang landed with his right foot, he immediately dribbled the ball along the sideline.

At this point, Iuliano realized he had been tricked, but there was nothing he could do; even if he chased after them, it was too late.

Montero tried to quickly cover, but Lu Deyang, who was feigning a run down the wing, suddenly cut inside and flicked the ball laterally into the penalty area.

Unable to regain his balance in time, Montero could only watch as Lu Deyang swept past him.

Peruzzi had already positioned himself at the nearest point, keeping a low profile.

Snapped--

Lu Deyang dribbled the ball to the top corner of the six-yard box and immediately turned and took a shot.

Lob shot, another lob shot!
Peruzzi is going crazy.

Being hoisted from a nearby point to a distant one, he really didn't have any good solutions.

Duang——

Fortunately, the ball hit the outside of the junction of the post and crossbar and bounced out of bounds.

The Rossoneri, who had originally intended to celebrate, returned to their seats.

Milan's attack was even more ferocious in the second half than in the first half, with two threatening attacks right at the start of the game.

On the field, Milan pinned Juventus back in their own half.

Lippi really hadn't expected that.

Gaining the upper hand but failing to score only wastes skills on offense.

With Lu Deyang on the team, can you guarantee that Juventus will have the same luck for the next goal?

"Pay attention to defending Dejan's side, make sure he doesn't get into the penalty area, and also be careful of his long-range shots from outside the penalty area."

Lippi shouted to the field.

If we fall behind again, things will get really messed up.

If Juventus' attack improves even slightly, it will put considerable pressure on Milan.

The transition between offense and defense is fast enough that the ball can reach the frontcourt almost instantly.

Both Zidane and Vieri pose a significant threat.

After several such incidents, Redondo also started swearing.

Juventus consistently played behind their defensive midfielders, with their defense pushing forward.

This is just kicking at his defensive zone, as if he's an easy target.

A few minutes later, Redondo received the ball and advanced forward, ignoring the players around Lu Deyang and simply making a straight pass.

Deschamps immediately turned around and chased after him.

His reaction speed is already very fast.

Unfortunately, as the passive party, they were still left behind.

Seeing this, Iuliano had no choice but to come up and help defend.

Juventus players were almost all moving towards this side.

But at that moment, Lu Deyang stepped forward with his right foot and suddenly knocked the ball across from behind with his left.

Albertini, making a forward run, quickly moved forward, and Baggio, dropping back, received the ball and charged into Juventus' penalty area.

Totti has already positioned himself in defense, and this is a very good opportunity.

Ferrara sensed danger, handed Totti to his teammate, and rushed out on his own.

One on one.

After shifting his weight, Baggio pretended to move to the left, and Ferrara quickly stepped to the right. Unexpectedly, Baggio's left foot knocked the ball to his right foot.

Realizing he had been tricked, Ferrara chose to tackle Baggio to the ground.

"foul!"

"foul!"

"foul!"

The San Siro stadium erupted in angry shouts.

Juventus' actions before the start of today's match have garnered some goodwill from Milan fans.

However, that initial goodwill completely disappeared as the competition progressed.

"A penalty kick?"

Baggio asked uncertainly.

He fell into the restricted area.

"It should be a penalty!"

Totti said confidently, "Free kick, just outside the penalty area."

The referee pointed to the edge of the penalty area and said.

"What are you doing?"

Totti, indignant, confronted the referee, saying, "He only fouled me when he was already in the penalty area."

"No, it's right on the edge of the penalty area, I can see it very clearly."

the referee said.

"Never mind, Francisco."

Lu Deyang went up and pulled Totti aside, saying, "Anyway, penalties and free kicks make no difference to me."

referee:……

Baggio: ...

The Juventus players, who were about to step forward to stop the Milan players, couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Lu Deyang's magnanimity only made them feel as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.

The Little Prince nodded in agreement.

As a loyal fan of Lu Deyang, he practiced his free kicks almost entirely by watching Lu Deyang's highlight reels.

"Don't let them score!"

Ferrara clapped his hands and shouted.

Lu Deyang's somewhat disdainful attitude can actually ignite the fighting spirit of Juventus players.

This delighted Ferrara.

On the field, motivation often comes from the opponent.

Juventus players, under Peruzzi's direction, busily formed a human wall.

Although it was annoying that Lu Deyang acted as if he had scored, a free kick from the edge of the penalty area was indeed a very dangerous move.

The apex of the arc is slightly to the left.

This position is comfortable for most right-footed players, let alone Lu Deyang, who has an exceptionally high free-kick scoring efficiency.

"Don't block my view."

"Go left, go further left... You're not tall enough to stand on the side."

Peruzzi shouted irritably.

He now feels that his teammates are a bit of a liability.

As a goalkeeper, he was the last person he wanted to see Lu Deyang take free kicks.

Even without Lu Deyang using powerful free kicks, his technique alone is enough to affect Lu's judgment.

A player who can take high-quality free kicks with both feet is difficult for a goalkeeper to anticipate.

In addition, if you are proficient in both the inner and outer insteps, then there are many more combinations.

Both shots are aimed at the corner, but while the instep outside rotation and the outside rotation inside rotation result in similar final goal positions, the ball's trajectory differs significantly.

Peruzzi glanced at Lu Deyang, who was standing still holding the ball.

Damn, so many tricks are used in bed, what kind of skill is that on the sports field?
Juventus players are constantly making adjustments.

The human wall only stopped moving after the referee, unable to bear it any longer, reminded them to stand in their positions quickly.

Lippi stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, silently praying that no goal would be scored.

If the score is tied, their physical advantage will be significant after 70 minutes.

But if AC Milan takes the lead, it's all over; they can easily seize the opportunity to launch endless counter-attacks.

In a counterattack, no one will give you a chance to take advantage of the confrontation.

Time was running out, and this free kick was really infuriating.

More than 80,000 fans watched the game.

As Lu Deyang placed the ball, the referee blew his whistle.

beep—

Totti, positioned outside the penalty arc, feigned a run forward, but the move was largely misleading; Peruzzi didn't even look at him.

However, at the same time, Lu Deyang exerted force on the spot and pulled his right foot out.

boom--

Ok?
Juventus' goalkeeper's eyes widened.

Damn, this ball wasn't a high ball over the wall, it hit the side of the wall.

This curve?

He didn't even think about whether the ball would go out of bounds before he quickly lunged to the side.

However, he didn't realize at first that it wasn't a high ball, which gave him the advantage. Peruzzi hadn't even hit the ground before the ball went under his arm and over the goal line, rolling into the goal.

"Deyang!!!"

"Beautiful free kicks, psychological battles, Dejan never loses."

"Juventus were clearly trying to prevent Dejan from hitting the top right corner of the free kick, which is the corner where the post and crossbar meet. Both Peruzzi's positioning and the wall were designed to target that position, but they didn't expect Dejan to kick a low, curving shot that went around the wall and straight into the bottom right corner of the goal."

"In the 67th minute, Baggio won a free kick, which Dejan took, and helped Milan take the lead again. The balance of victory has begun to gradually tilt towards AC Milan."

The San Siro stadium erupted in cheers.

The voices of the home fans echoed through the Milan night sky.

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

Lu Deyang rushed towards the south stand, turned around, and opened his arms.

The San Siro echoed with that syllable "Siu~~~~~~~~~~~" once again.

boom!
Lippi picked up the water bottle from the sidelines and smashed it on the ground, completely forgetting about manners.

This goal could change the course of the game.

After a hard-fought equalizer in the final stages of the first half, just as they were about to gain the upper hand, AC Milan scored again.

If we lose today, it's this free kick that ruined everything.

Lippi looked towards the field.

He won't offer any defense for Ferrara after the match.

Vieri stood there with his hands on his hips.

At 23, he had already played professional football for seven years, though he started out playing in the second division.

After joining Juventus from Atalanta, he thought he could win a championship.

But this season, AC Milan's performance showed Vieri just how big the gap is between top clubs.

This made the young striker, who was already eager for a championship, consider leaving the team.

His last decent title was the U21 European Championship he won in 1992 under Cesare Maldini, while his club record was completely blank.

He would like to join AC Milan in the summer if possible.

Marco van Basten's retirement in the summer gave him more confidence.

The only uncertainty for him was whether Juventus would be willing to sell him to a league rival.

……

Lippi is already considering making substitutions to strengthen the attack.

It doesn't matter to AC Milan in the league, and it's the same for them.

This match was more of a battle for honor.

At this point, giving it your all actually reduces the pressure.

However, just as he turned his head, he saw that some players were already warming up in front of Milan's coaching bench.

Reiziger and Davis.

Isn't this a blatant attempt to substitute a foreign player to strengthen the defense?
Sacchi's steady performance is giving Lippi a real headache.

Are you really not giving them even the slightest chance?
A few minutes later, Zidane fouled Redondo and received a yellow card. Sacchi substituted Davids for Savicevic to further strengthen the defense.

They even kept Lu Deyang on the field to prevent Milan from lacking attacking power after Juventus scored.

It's clear that Sacchi is determined to win this match.

On the contrary, Lippi has been slow to respond.

In the 73rd minute, Zidane received the ball in the attacking third and chose to force his way through, which made it difficult for Milan's defense to make a decision.

If Wiljoward dares to press, he will definitely make a through pass.

However, Zidane seized on that moment of hesitation, and the Frenchman dribbled into the penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot from the side near the top corner of the box, which Buffon caught with both hands.

“Beautiful, Gigi.”

Baresi shouted.

Buffon didn't care, took a step forward, and threw the ball out forcefully.

"Back on defense!!!"

Lippi cried out in anguish.

Juventus players were prepared to commit a foul.

However, this time Lu Deyang received the ball and immediately passed it forward, and Baggio was right in front of him.

Iuliano was matched up against Baggio.

I was quite annoyed with it.

Damn, today Lu Deyang and Baggio took turns attacking his side. How could he possibly face two Ballon d'Or winners in one match? He's not even tenth in the Ballon d'Or rankings.

However, he made a mistake when dribbling past his opponent this time, leaving the ball in place.

Overjoyed, Iuliano didn't pass the ball too far, instead sending a direct pass to Lu Deyang in front of the halfway line.

"Damn it, you idiot!"

Deschamps quickly started his attack and lunged at Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang reacted quickly as well.

The Juventus players had already returned to their own half, and Lu Deyang showed no intention of moving forward himself. He turned around and took a step back, then twisted his body with his left foot and slashed out with his right.

boom--

The ball flew from the left flank in front of the center line to the right side of the attacking third, and was accurately delivered to Davis's feet.

The Dutchman's cross, delivered shortly after coming on, was poorly executed and was easily caught by Peruzzi.

Peruzzi didn't dare throw the ball out immediately.

AC Milan's offensive has been too strong lately, wave after wave, putting Juventus under immense pressure.

He wanted to hold the ball to give his teammates some rest time.

The goalkeeper was truly impressed.

Damn, just from what the sidelines said about one team using drugs, if you didn't know the truth, you'd think Milan was the team that was collectively taking calcium supplements.

Even with all the cheaters using cheats, we still can't beat them. What can we do?
Deschamps and Jugovic combined to advance the ball, and this was almost Juventus' attacking pattern today.

After drawing the defense, pass the ball to Zidane, or establish direct contact with the forwards.

Davis was quick to intercept.

Jugovic still passed the ball across to Deschamps.

His current position at Juventus is awkward; he is not as good as Deschamps in defense, nor as good as Zidane in attack.

He has gone from being a starter to a rotation player.

Deschamps wanted to pass the ball to Zidane as soon as he got it.

However, both Redondo and Albertini were wary of this.

After passing the center circle, the French captain still passed the ball to the right wing.

Click,
Di Livio waited for the ball in place, when he saw the red and black figure chase back and make a sliding tackle to successfully intercept the ball.

"Deyang!"

After successfully receiving the ball, Lu Deyang flicked it with his left foot and headed towards the center.

Deschamps was so angry he laughed.

Instead of pushing forward, standing in this position is perfect for defense.

However, Lu Deyang did not hold onto the ball, but instead made a diagonal pass to Baggio before continuing his forward run.

Baggio wasn't in a hurry; he turned and passed the ball to Redondo.

By the time Redondo passed the ball back, Di Livio had already caught up with him, and Baggio, who received the ball, quickly turned and delivered a cross.

Lu Deyang, who had moved forward into the middle, had no defenders around him, so he simply stood still and waited for the ball.

Snapped--

Even in such a simple setting, Lu Deyang still surprised both sides.

Without stopping the ball, he stretched out his right foot, and with the outside of his foot, he directly changed the trajectory of the ball, sending a precise through pass. The ball rolled past Montero and headed straight for the penalty area. Totti, who rushed forward, didn't use any more tricks and simply swung his right foot and smashed the ball into the goal.

3: 1!

Seeing the scoreboard change again, Lippi closed his eyes in anguish.

It's over, it's over...
