If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 311 Saki's New Conjecture (Please Subscribe)

Looking at the field, Lu Deyang thought, "Inter Milan is really something else."

You feel he's not good enough, and he really isn't.

But if you really have no hope, Inter Milan can still pull through.

This early Inter Milan team under Moratti was also unpredictable; when they were out of form, there was no team they wouldn't dare lose to, but when they were in form, they could thrash even the top teams.

It's hard to categorize this team's strength, but they stabilized their performance at the end of the season, securing third place in the league and reaching the Italian Cup final.

To be fair, in a highly competitive league, this is a pretty good result.

But just looking at Inter Milan, they don't give off that feeling of a strong team.

The biggest problem is instability.

Lu Deyang felt that another point was that Hodgson's tactics were unclear.

Massimo, what do you think of Inter Milan?

Lu Deyang asked.

Ambrosini paused for a moment before saying, "It's hard to say; their strength is somewhat unpredictable."

Lu Deyang nodded.

That's exactly right—unpredictable.

Hodgson started playing a defensive counter-attacking style in an effort to keep his job.

Once he secured his position, he started doing scientific research, always wanting to try something new and innovative.

Inter Milan's tactics are diverse, and their players have also learned a wide range of techniques, so they are not unpredictable.

When they're in a good rhythm, they can execute a passing sequence that takes you down; when they're off, they can't even play a proper counter-attacking game.

Don't be fooled by Inter Milan's lead today; it was entirely due to Zanetti's long-range shot.

Tactically, Inter Milan really doesn't have any advantage.

Van Basten, watching the field, said, "Inter Milan's British coach has a lot of ideas."

"really."

Lu Deyang agreed.

Basten had a pretty good eye.

"I reckon only Dejan will have a chance to play today," Ambrosini said with some regret.

He also knew that his appearance would hardly change the situation.

He's not the kind of player who can single-handedly change the score.

Ambrosini was pessimistic about his future.

Lu Deyang also found it very interesting. Judging from the current situation, who would have thought that Ambrosini had played for Milan for so many years? Among all the key midfielders Milan has had over the years, Ambrosini's ability has indeed fallen a bit short.

So fate is truly a mysterious thing.

The two sides went into halftime with a score of 1-0.

"They'll probably have to play a defensive game in the second half."

Baggio said after sitting down.

Inter Milan clearly values ​​this trophy very much, as it is their only chance to lift it this season.

"That's fine. Just let them tackle you with the ball, then bring Dejan on to take the free kick," Totti said directly.

Baggio: ...

That's the logic.

But he's a big star, after all.

“If you’re thinking of buying stocks recently, you’d better follow me,” Van Basten said.

A chorus of boos erupted from the locker room.

Basten didn't take it seriously. He was obviously brimming with confidence after making some money. He turned to Lu Deyang and said, "If you make money with me, get me one of those banners you sent to the police station."

A banner?

If you buy stocks based on my recommendations, they'll turn around and make a talisman to hang in your house.

Pigs on the cusp of a trend always think they're invincible.

With a favorable economic climate, you can make money no matter what you buy.

What's truly impressive is knowing when to jump ship and cash out.

Don't always listen to the experts in the newspapers talking about going to the moon. If we really go to the moon, they won't take you with them.

The financial industry mainly preys on these irrational young people.

Lu Deyang thought of all sorts of Ponzi schemes again. The example of Albania was right in front of him, and it hadn't been long since then. Why hadn't they learned their lesson?

Maldini didn't want to talk about investments, so he asked, "Captain, what are your thoughts on your retirement match? Have you discussed it with the club?"

"Let's see how many people retire by the end of the season, then we'll talk about it."

Baresi said.

His brother has already retired.

In his retirement match, he wanted to play on the same team as his brother. He had played his whole life, and he wanted to fulfill his wish in the end.

"There are quite a few players who have retired from Milan alone, so why don't we do something more interesting?"

Lu Deyang said, "Let's have an All-Star game, and then hold a World Free Kick Championship. Let the sponsors pay for it, and with so many stars gathered together, we can also shoot some commercials."

"That's a good idea!"

Maldini said excitedly.

It sounds professional and can pique the interest of fans.

No wonder Lu Deyang is so good at business. He can easily plan a large-scale event, and most importantly, he doesn't have to spend any money himself. That's real skill.

"Let's have a penalty shootout or something."

Totti said excitedly.

He is still very confident when it comes to set pieces.

"It would be an honor to select the best-performing goalkeeper."

Buffon urged.

Clearly, the young player also wants to prove himself.

"Let's talk to the sponsors after the game, and while we're at it, let's get Monica Hamburg to release a set of trading cards for the Summer All-Star Game," Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Maldini pursed his lips.

Damn it, they were definitely waiting here.

He was truly impressed by Lu Deyang; he always managed to find an opportunity.

However, even if it were someone else, it would be difficult to persuade UEFA or FIFA to provide resources in this regard.

"Do you have any suggestions for the name of the clothing? Dejan and I are going to do business together!" Totti suddenly said.

The atmosphere in the locker room immediately calmed down.

The main problem is that Totti has asked the question too many times.

Several months passed, and everyone was getting a little tired of it.

The brand hasn't been decided yet.

Given Totti's efficiency, these brands might become century-old establishments without even a single store.

After halftime, the players left the locker room chatting and laughing.

Rather than seeing successful startups, people would prefer to see their teammates fail.

Because this is the norm for players starting their own businesses.

You've all succeeded in your businesses, but the others are under a lot of pressure.

When he gets home, his wife will talk about other people's husbands.

As for the most successful ones, they don't care. Just like Jack Chen, Lu Deyang works his life away. This is something that ordinary people can't do. If he fails, his money and children will all go to someone else.

Back on the bench.

Lu Deyang also realized what was going on.

The Little Prince is so arrogant, yet he's still quite popular in the locker room, mainly because his weaknesses are obvious.

Before, he was just a desperate illiterate man; now, he's also struggling to start a business.

Everyone likes teammates like that.

There are too many other people's children, and the mental pressure is too great.

If it weren't for Lu Qiuwang's strong personal charisma, he wouldn't be so popular in the locker room with all his achievements.

In the second half, the two teams started grinding out the game again. Ambrosini leaned over and whispered, "Dejan, are you really going to do business with Francisco?"

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to him."

Lu Deyang said.

Ambrosini pursed his lips, thinking Totti was just lucky.

Despite not being a great student, he has a natural talent for soccer.

Even if they aren't the absolute best, they're enough to make Ambrosini envious; they're basically the undisputed core of Italy's next decade.

With kind people by my side, I'll never have to worry about anything in this life.

Totti seems to have encountered all sorts of good things.

The situation on the field was quite tense, and Inter Milan's defensive foundation was really good.

Milan launched frequent attacks but failed to create any good opportunities, and almost conceded a goal themselves.

Young players Buffon and Zanetti were both very busy today.

Zanetti was placed in the attacking midfield position and still performed exceptionally well. Who can you reason with that?
Moving the defensive midfielder forward is not that simple; positioning and responsibilities are entirely different systems.

Zanetti's impressive performance on both ends of the pitch demonstrates his clear understanding of his role in each position and his ability to adapt his habits, allowing him to excel in multiple roles.

"The coach thinks he'll be letting you play."

"Van Basten said."

"Who knows?"

Lu Deyang said uncertainly.

Sacchi wasn't very decisive when making substitutions.

Maybe they're holding back on letting him play in the Champions League.

These coaches might not be so clear-headed when it comes to the finals.

Guardiola would pull stunts every time the finals came around, and Solskjaer would also make inexplicable substitutions during the finals.

They conceded a goal before a corner kick by making a substitution, but instead of making a substitution for a penalty kick, they kept De Gea, who isn't very good at saving penalties. If he had made fewer of his questionable decisions, his record at Manchester United would have been better.

"Sacchi should bring on Dejan now to end this farce."

Krudelli bluntly stated, "Today's match was truly unbearable. Baggio had few opportunities up front, Totti was constantly harassed by Zanetti, and Milan couldn't find a single point of attack. If Sacchi still says after the match that he doesn't overly rely on any player, I support the reporters throwing their recording devices in his face."

Krudelli was very dissatisfied with this formation.

Even if you don't use Lu Deyang, wouldn't it be better to use Simeone and Totti as a two-striker formation? That would give Baggio some space.

Is it really necessary to put Baggio at the very front?
Only when Lu Deyang is on the field can Baggio and Totti's two strikers work together effectively.

However, it would be more accurate to say that they were a double number 9.5, with both players frequently dropping back to the top of the arc to coordinate with Lu Deyang, plus various lane changes.

That's a completely different offensive system.

Paul Ince intercepted the ball again and sent a through pass. Zanetti and Redondo, despite being at a physical disadvantage, managed to get the ball first.

He didn't have a chance to drop Redondo and create an angle, so he could only pass directly to Zamorano.

Zamorano received the ball with his back to goal and passed it across, but Maurizio Ganz's long-range shot went wide of the crossbar.

Seeing that more than 70 minutes had passed, Lu Deyang stood up and walked to the sidelines, saying, "Coach, let me go on."

If we wait any longer, we'll lose the championship.

"Alright, then Dejan will go on stage."

Saki nodded and said.

He originally really wanted Lu Deyang to play in the Champions League directly.

However, since Lu Deyang has already said so, let's go on stage.

After a quick warm-up, Lu Deyang stood on the sidelines, drawing cheers from the away fans in the stands.

Today's final is in Milan, and the home, away, and neutral stands are almost entirely filled with fans of both teams, with only a few tourists.

The two teams received roughly the same number of tickets.

However, despite consistently trailing, the Milan fans' support was not very strong.

This is the first time today that they have gained the upper hand in momentum against the Inter Milan group.

"Dejan replaced Savicevic, and Davies stayed on the field... Dejan simply went to the right wing, hahaha, that's an interesting choice. Even Baggio couldn't shake Dejan's position as a left winger. It's something to be proud of that Davies was able to play as a winger under Dejan today."

Playing on the right wing is mainly because Maicon is better suited to that position.

At his peak, Maicon played on the right wing with his right foot and could often cut inside and shoot like Robben, which is quite difficult for a winger with his dominant foot. Moreover, his playmaking ability was also very strong.

At his peak, Maicon was an exceptionally strong wing carry.

Is it the core of the organization or the core of the attack?
There's no difference at all. Maicon just grabs the ball and breaks through, whether he passes or shoots depends on the situation.

With Lu Deyang on the field, the Milan players' morale immediately changed.

Even the little prince, who had a bad day playing, no longer had a long face.

The Milan players immediately found their leader.

As longtime rivals, Inter Milan players are naturally aware of this situation.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Zanetti stepped forward and reminded them, "Be careful, we can eliminate them if we hold on for the last ten minutes or so!"

The best course of action at this point is to hold firm.

Fortunately, Hodgson's Inter Milan started out in this field, so it's his old business.

Soon, fans noticed that the game had changed dramatically.

Inter Milan players resolutely retreated into their own half.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Boos and cheers filled the San Siro stadium.

This also represents the different stances of the two teams' fans.

Redondo received the ball and instinctively passed it to the left wing, only to realize there was a problem; Lu Deyang was on the right wing today.

Davis also has a very distinctive style when he dribbles.

He is very agile and his center of gravity changes quickly. In addition to his fierce defense, he often manages to dribble past several players in a row.

Josephine Angeloma was clearly struggling; being taller, he found it difficult to keep up with Davis's pace.

As he got closer to the penalty area, Davies suddenly accelerated down the wing and crossed the ball. Baggio started very quickly this time, and Galant couldn't keep up at all.

Just when everyone thought Inter Milan was about to concede a goal, Pagliuca rushed out of the goal and punched the ball away with one fist, preventing Inter Milan from conceding a goal.

"Dejan put a lot of pressure on Inter as soon as he came on. Bergomi, who was very active today, didn't dare to leave his position."

Bergomi played left-back today, and Lu Deyang came on as the right-back to directly match up against him.

In this situation, how could he dare to leave his position to cover for his teammates?

That's no different from courting death.

The ball was passed to the middle by Pagliuca, and Zanetti rushed up quickly.

Redondo was also running towards the ball.

The two Argentine players faced off, with Redondo being closer and Zanetti slightly faster.

This resulted in the two players arriving near the ball almost simultaneously.

Redondo raised his right foot to meet the ball's weight, but Zanetti, feeling he couldn't match the power, opted to hook the ball with his own foot.

Unexpectedly, Redondo gently landed with his right foot and poked the ball behind him.

Redondo immediately raised his right arm to block the shot, and the two men rushed toward the ball at close range. Redondo had a significant advantage in physical confrontation.

Having long arms and legs is something that can't be compensated for by willpower or other factors.

Redondo, who was a step slower in his start, used his long legs to hook the ball in front of him.

He didn't give Zanetti a chance to press, and after receiving the ball, he immediately turned and passed it back.

Maldini received the ball near the halfway line, flicked it with his right foot, turned sideways, and swung it out with his right foot.

boom,
The ball flew from the left midfield line to the right flank of the attacking third. Bergomi rushed out of the penalty area and headed the ball away, overpowering Albertini. However, Redondo regained possession of the ball.

Snapped--

Lu Deyang was nearby, and Redondo immediately delivered a cross kick.

Lu Deyang, running forward, used the inside of his foot without stopping the ball, quickly changing its trajectory and sending it rolling towards the attacking third.

Albertini blocked the ball with his body to the side, and the ball bounced high. He turned around and stretched out his left foot again to bring the ball down.

When they saw him get the ball, the Inter Milan players didn't try to tackle him.

They focused their efforts on the area near the penalty area.

There are no loopholes as long as you don't recklessly force a grab.

But at that moment, a white figure rushed up quickly.

Milan No. 7!

There was no one specifically watching Lu Deyang.

He charged forward, and Albertini delivered a through ball.

Bergomi was a step too slow to react because Lu Deyang hadn't touched the ball yet.

When he turned to chase back, Lu Deyang had already received the ball behind him and dribbled forward. Receiving the pass from his teammate did not affect Lu Deyang's forward speed at all.

The Inter Milan captain had a strong feeling about this.

Inter's other defenders were also adjusting their positions. Lu Deyang's angle as he dribbled down the wing became increasingly narrow, so Galant and Freisch didn't press him but instead blocked the goal, preventing Totti from getting a chance.

In this situation, a triangular pass is the most threatening tactic.

Pagliuca was already waiting nearby.

As Lu Deyang's former teammate, he deliberately stood a little outside the post to prevent Lu Deyang from hitting the spot between him and the post.

The angle is getting smaller and smaller.

It's almost reached the bottom line.

Although I've outpaced Bergomi, I've lost my angle.

Even Paliuka, who knew Lu Deyang very well, didn't know what this former teammate was up to.

However, he did not relax his vigilance.

boom--

Shooting from a tight angle?
It really is so.

Lu Deyang kicked out with his right foot, and Pagliuca turned and made a save, but as soon as he did, he noticed a problem: the ball had a curve.

Oh shit!

And the curve is extremely exaggerated!!!

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

If you didn't watch the replay, you would think it was just a powerful shot that went straight up and down into the goal, with the ball going straight through Lu Deyang's feet.

In fact, the ball bypassed him; Lu Deyang flicked a hidden, large arc with the toe of his right foot.

As expected of you, Deyang.

Paryuka looked at Lu Deyang with a complicated expression.

Even if he anticipates the ball's trajectory, it will be very difficult for him to save it.

Moreover, such a bizarre shot is hard to predict.

Paliuka had a bad feeling.

Today's match is likely to end badly.

boom--

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

The Rossoneri are going crazy.

Sacchi's reluctance to make a substitution has led to much speculation.

Some fans are even prepared to lose the Italian Cup.

But at this moment, Lu Deyang stepped forward again.

He helped the team equalize the score within minutes of coming on.

So handsome!
"Deyang Deyang Deyang!!!"

Krudelli exclaimed excitedly, "Dejan scored a beautiful goal from a zero-degree angle! That goal was simply the most beautiful work of art on the pitch!"

"Inter Milan's defensive strategy is very thorough. Apart from the offside trap, they are also focusing on the middle and leaving the flanks open. After all, the flanks are less of a threat."

"However, this is only in general terms. Dejan's run down the right flank and his goal from a zero-degree angle is a good example. Even if the opponent marks the middle tightly and even defends against Totti and Baggio, Dejan still has a way to win the game on his own!"

I'm so excited.

Krudelli also felt a sense of accomplishment.

He said that substituting Dejan would solve the problem, and when Dejan came on, the score was immediately tied.

Although many people already knew this, he still felt very excited.

Milan's number seven never disappoints.

The number seven jersey in football has gradually surpassed the number ten in importance, becoming the most legendary number.

If jerseys were retired based on fame and contribution to the team, Milan might have to retire several numbers.

When the stories behind Milan's jersey numbers are told, fans of other teams will only be envious.

However, based on his understanding, neither Maldini nor Ludjohnsen would agree to the club's decision to revoke the jerseys.

It's hard to say who will carry on the legacy of these legendary numbers in the next generation.

You can't just let any Tom, Dick, or Harry wear Lu Deyang's or Maldini's jerseys.

Krudelli is already imagining what kind of talents the team will have in the future.

Buffon knelt excitedly in front of the goal, raising his arms passionately.

He was frustrated for almost the entire match after conceding a stunning long-range goal just 11 minutes into the game.

As the competition drew to a close, he finally found redemption.

So what if he wasn't the one who scored?

Buffon watched the opponent's half from afar.

He won't give Inter Milan any chance in the upcoming matches.

Even a world-class goal is not acceptable.

……

Hodgson said a few phrases starting with the letter F, but even that couldn't calm him down.

His flushed face spoke volumes about the turmoil within the England coach.

few minutes.

They were just a few minutes away from defeating AC Milan and lifting the trophy.

But an unexpected incident still occurred.

What worries him even more is the outcome of the upcoming match.

With stoppage time approaching, the probability of Milan defeating them with a last-minute goal is much higher than the probability of them defeating Milan with a last-minute goal.

Joy is conserved in this world.

If someone loses their happiness, it must have been taken away by someone else.

Old Master Ho looked worried, while Saki and Tardelli hugged each other and celebrated excitedly.

Of course, it's better to avoid losing if possible.

It seems that we might really be able to maintain a perfect record this season.

Even if they don't beat their opponent in regulation time today, the team's undefeated record will continue.

While a record is icing on the cake, an undefeated season is also a respectable achievement.

Lu Deyang really is his lucky star.

However, Sacchi thought of another problem.

Today, Lu Deyang's performance on the right wing was something he really didn't expect to resemble any Inter Milan legend.

Perhaps he was overthinking things?
Sacchi decided to go home and watch some old Inter Milan videotapes.

Zanetti returned to the penalty area, bent down to pick up the ball and handed it to Pagliuca, saying reassuringly, "This isn't your fault; no one else could have saved this shot either."

Pagliuca smiled but didn't say anything.

He wasn't thinking about whose responsibility it was for conceding the goal; he was thinking about winning or losing the game today.

After leading for so long, it's definitely not something to be happy about if you lose the game.

However, Lu Deyang's track record speaks for itself, and as a former teammate, his confidence in Lu Deyang far exceeded his own.

Damn, the score looks evenly matched, but the trophy is probably already in the opponent's hands.
