If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 313 The Sun's Superb Tactics (Please Subscribe)

Milan fans really love getting drawn away games.

Winning the championship on the opponent's home turf is the most exhilarating thing.

The emotional activity lasted for a long time, and the players couldn't help but get a little excited.

Lu Deyang got home late at night, which is unusual for a match that starts at 7:30 pm.

He was a little hungry, but it was too late, so he simply ate two bananas, washed up, and went to bed.

The next morning, when Lu Deyang woke up, he saw Monica constantly tickling his nostrils with the end of her hair.

"Are you awake, darling? You're supposed to be a substitute, why are you so sleepy?" Monica asked, puzzled. The two of them hadn't done anything special after getting home.

"Celebrating is more tiring than playing football."

Lu Deyang complained.

After the game, you still have to go crazy with the fans at the stadium, and the key is not to leave disappointed.

Celebrating ten or twenty points is fine, but after going crazy on the court for over an hour, Lu Deyang felt a bit tormented.

"Shall I bring you breakfast?"

"Monica asked."

"Forget it, let's not get food scraps on the bed."

Lu Deyang refused.

Eating in bed makes it easy for food to crumble.

It would be even more interesting if it were in a port city.

The cockroaches in Italy are American cockroaches.

When Lu Deyang got up, he was stunned to find a bottle of Vivi soy milk on the table.

"A gift from someone else."

Monica smiled and said, "I just made you a cup."

Lu Deyang sat down with a smile.

I haven't seen this thing in a long time.

Vivi Soy Milk, bringing joy and happiness.

This is a memory from quite a long time ago.

Take a sip, and it still tastes the same, similar to soy milk.

It would be even better with a fried dough stick.

Monica handed the newspaper to Lu Deyang.

The newspapers were almost entirely filled with reports about the Italian Cup final.

Gazzetta dello Sport focused on Moratti, which surprised Lu Deyang.

They made a joke about the Inter Milan president, then focused on their suggestions for summer signings.

Giggs, Beckham, Ronaldo?
Believe it or not, Ferguson could shoot you all to death with a Gatling gun.

That's a pretty good idea.

Inter Milan has a good historical record and has been very strong in recent years.

This prevents them from facing difficulties in player recruitment, much like a fallen powerhouse, or from having to pay exorbitant salaries to bring in second-rate players to boost their influence, like a nouveau riche.

However, it's not easy for powerful families to improve their strength.

Inter Milan's squad isn't particularly strong, but the players are generally either top-tier or just below average.

The players that need to be brought in to improve the team's strength are mostly already in the hands of other top clubs.

Unless you buy young players from South America or players who have developed in smaller teams but haven't yet transferred.

This is very embarrassing.

Despite the relatively low transfer record in the Premier League, Ferguson dared to ask for a staggering $3000 million to buy Beckham.

If a Scottish manager doesn't want to sell, you'll have a very hard time buying him.

Furthermore, British players generally don't like playing abroad.

He's not like Pratt, that kind of spiritually Italian.

As for Real Madrid players, they don't have much of a chance either.

There is some potential in buying players from Barcelona. Barcelona has many strong players, but some of them don't even get to play half a game for various reasons. Barcelona has sold quite a few big-name stars over the years.

Most importantly, they are all in their prime, not at the end of their careers.

The Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport wrote: "AC Milan is only a matter of time before they surpass greatness."

They completely disregarded Manchester United.

Even though Lu Deyang and Manchester United achieved an unprecedented seven titles.

English football has been out of touch with the mainstream of European football for far too long these past few years.

Even if Manchester United achieves good results, it will be difficult to change the world's perception of a league.

The Turin Forecast didn't publish any sensational news, focusing instead on the tactics and techniques displayed in the match.

The analysis was well done.

It also pointed out that Sacchi had some tricks up his sleeve.

If Lu Deyang hadn't volunteered to play, Milan might have lost the Italian Cup title.

Fortunately, they won in the end.

After putting down the newspaper.

Lu Deyang got up and took a stroll.

We finally have a day off, so let's take the opportunity to go out and have some fun together.

Sure enough, good ideas come from standing up.

When Lu Deyang returned to the restaurant, he saw Monica stand up and say apologetically, "Honey, I got a last-minute job in Milan."

"be careful."

Lu Deyang hugged her and kissed her on the forehead, saying this.

Monica kissed him directly on the lips.

They were released a few minutes later.

Lu Deyang was certain of one thing: his and Monica's child's lung capacity was not bad.

Feeling a bit bored, Lu Deyang still didn't call his teammates.

He wanted to try staying home by himself for a day and see what he would do.

I originally wanted to draw the original manuscript, but I didn't have any inspiration.

At that point, I just randomly designed a new sprite, and I'll add it to the story when I want to draw it later.

By this time, Pokémon had become unrecognizable.

Especially in terms of the plot.

He didn't make many changes to Pokémon, and he even made special modifications to some discordant parts. Over the years, he only got interested in designing a few Pokémon himself, which didn't even take more than two hands.

Around 10 a.m., Lu Deyang, who had nothing to do, turned on the radio.

After the radio was tuned, the loudspeaker immediately emitted a dynamic rhythm.

"I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really wantSo tell me what you want, what you really, really want..."

The Spice Girls do have some classic songs.

Having not seen any news about Beckham and Victoria for so long, Lu Deyang figured the two probably had little interaction anymore.

It's unclear which sucker will be able to fulfill Victoria Adams' entrepreneurial dream.

After 20 years of entrepreneurship, he is now burdened with debts of over one billion yuan.

Let alone ordinary people, even top players can't all afford to support her.

Women with dreams are fucking terrifying.

Looking at it this way, Lu Qiuwang's girlfriends are all quite worry-free.

Aside from the fact that the princess doesn't earn much money.

However, she still monetized her fame in other ways, such as frequently supporting Monica.

A different radio host is talking about NATO's eastward expansion.

Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic were invited.

No matter how hard the Russians try to lick it, it's useless; they're on guard.

Feeling the sunshine at the end of May, Lu Deyang fell asleep soon after.

I woke up more than two hours later.

From this perspective, even as one of the world's highest-paid people by the hour, Lu Qiuwang (King of Land Balls) often wastes his time.

After getting up to get tools and pruning the flowers and plants in the courtyard, the princess returned after another three hours.

The two of them cooked together in the kitchen, and by the time they finished eating, it was already past eight o'clock.

Lu Deyang rolled his eyes when he saw the time on the clock.

It seems like I didn't do anything all day.

At times like this, he would think of that line from "How the Steel Was Tempered".

"Are you enjoying your freedom at home today?"

"I asked the princess while she was eating her steak."

"It felt like I hadn't done anything before it got dark."

Lu Deyang said with a wry smile, "When you want to kill time, it seems to pass very slowly, but once the time is over, it feels like it's gone in a flash and nothing has happened."

"So you should go out and have fun with your friends more often."

The princess tilted her head and smiled, saying, "You look more energetic when you're playing with those young people."

"Does my charm only manifest itself when I'm surrounded by two illiterate people?"

Lu Deyang rolled his eyes and said.

“Of course not, but Fernando…” the princess thought for a while before saying, holding the dinner knife, “He seems so composed, and I always feel like he’s accommodating to others.”

"Fernando has his own plans, but he also enjoys being with everyone."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

A man like Redondo wouldn't feel bored at home like him.

That guy has many hobbies.

Even if no one contacts him, he can still have a fulfilling day.

There wasn't even enough time.

The princess was about to speak when she vomited.

She took a sip of water and immediately reacted again.

Lu Deyang exchanged a glance with her and asked, "Are you pregnant?"

"I have a feeling that's the case," the princess said softly.

If she gets pregnant, it will be troublesome.

Lu Deyang got up, walked over, leaned on her shoulder, and hugged the princess, saying, "Don't think too much, no one will hurt us."

So many years have passed, by now the British would have long since passed away if they wanted to be some kind of "King of Land Sports." They should also consider the international repercussions.

Since she's pregnant, let's have the baby. Henry has always wanted a younger brother.

The only thing that Lu Deyang regretted was that, according to the princess, the child had no right to inherit the throne, as her family was not a member of the royal family.

"Let's go get it checked tomorrow."

Lu Deyang said.

"You should go to training. The Champions League final is coming up soon, and if you don't train, the reporters will start talking nonsense again," the princess advised. "I'll ask Monica to go for a check-up with me."

"Be careful of the reporters."

Lu Deyang said.

It's better to let this matter be exposed later.

From the moment the photos are exposed, they will be subjected to endless harassment from British paparazzi.

The birth of this child is destined to attract worldwide attention.

After dinner, the two of them leaned against the sofa and watched TV together.

Lu Deyang, who is about to welcome his first child, feels a sense of wonder.

If this kid has football talent, he'd be considered one of the players with the best footballing background.

He was many times better than a fallen nobleman like Boas.

The television is broadcasting football news.

The program obscured the view and played highlights from British football programs, which were mostly about advising Manchester United on how to prepare for the Champions League final.

A British presenter suggested that Ferguson put laxatives in the drinking water for the entire Milan team.

Former England goalkeeper Shilton even joked that Manchester United could win the game if they could just find a way to keep Lukasz the King off the field.

There were also all sorts of random suggestions.

Things like letting fans make noise downstairs at the hotel.

These methods have all been used in football.

On the contrary, Lu Deyang felt that the suggestion from The Sun was somewhat reliable.

They wrote: "To prove he doesn't overly rely on Dejan, Sacchi often hesitated for a long time between bringing Dejan on and not bringing him on. Several times, Dejan couldn't stand it anymore and asked to play himself, ending this farce and ensuring AC Milan's victory. If Ferguson wants to win, he should frequently mock Sacchi in the media before the game, saying that he achieved his current success entirely because of Dejan, and try to get Sacchi to put Dejan on the bench."

They maintained a balanced game throughout and then scored a last-minute winner against AC Milan, denying Sacchi the opportunity to make substitutions.

If a goal is scored too early, then you need to control the game and give Sacchi an opportunity, preventing him from making substitutions. By the time Sacchi is forced to make a substitution, the game will be nearing its end. Sending an assistant coach to feign a fall and smear Dejan's jersey with coffee can delay Dejan for a few more minutes, preventing him from playing. Those few minutes might just decide the outcome of the match.

The host joked, "It seems that The Sun's suggestion has the highest success rate so far, which is completely out of line with their newspaper's positioning. Perhaps The Sun will become a professional sports newspaper in the future."

The Sun truly lives up to its name.

I've pretty much figured out what's going on in Saki's mind.

However, this kind of advice should only be taken as entertainment.

In the Champions League final, it's impossible for Lu Guowang to be on the bench during the season.

Upon discovering that the princess was asleep, Lu Deyang carried her upstairs.

The next day, while they were still training, Lu Deyang received the news that he was indeed going to be a father.

Moreover, not only was the princess two months pregnant, but Monica was also pregnant, a few days later than the princess.

This was something Lu Deyang really hadn't expected.

June 1st, International Children's Day.

Serie A has entered its final round.

All matches start at 3:30 PM, a schedule designed to create suspense.

Unfortunately, the outcome of the Serie A match was decided very early on.

Milan will host Cagliari.

Massimo Cerino, the president of Cagliari, became the main character.

His pre-match statement that he was willing to let his players injure several key Milan players if Manchester United offered £1000 million caused quite a stir.

He has been in charge of Cagliari for quite some time.

He will acquire Leeds United after 2014. Even 20 years later, he will still be a controversial figure. The team that Bielsa led, which prioritized attack over defense, was born during his tenure at Leeds United.

What was originally just a simple league match, a warm-up for the Champions League final, was transformed into a highly anticipated game.

The Italian Football Federation fined Massimo Cerino $5 for inappropriate remarks.

They specifically replaced Collina with him to officiate the match and also dispatched several officials to San Siro to handle any unforeseen circumstances.

The future Leeds United chairman's big mouth has caused him a lot of trouble.

This matter is far from over.

Some people just like to attract attention.

Don't they even consider their own safety?
Some radical fan groups in Milan's south stand have made threats against his personal safety.

Sacchi was so frightened that he temporarily changed the roster, fearing that the key players would be injured by tackles.

Fortunately, the match ended without major incident, with Milan securing a narrow 2-0 victory at home, much to the relief of many.

If a player is injured, the away fans will likely become the target of the Rossoneri's anger. Even if the Milan City Hall sends a lot of police, it will be difficult to guarantee the personal safety of the away fans.

In the post-match press conference, Sacchi said, "I can't understand why an Italian would say such a thing. Even if he doesn't want to support Italian teams to win the championship, there's no need to encourage opponents to play against them in ways that violate sportsmanship and UEFA regulations. If such people are not severely punished, the environment of football will become extremely hostile."

Sacchi's statement received support from many people.

Riva told reporters seriously, "Perhaps Massimo Cellino wanted to be the protagonist, but he chose the wrong way. His words made him look like a terrorist, not a football club president."

Rivera went further, saying, "I suggest a direct investigation into Massimo Cellino. His words raise suspicions that he may have been involved in similar matters in the past. For the sake of the integrity of football, we must prevent such things from happening."

Even Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson didn't have a good impression of Massimo Cellino.

In an interview with the Manchester Evening News, he said: "Neither David nor I know Massimo Cellino, and we have no connection with him. He may be trying to get attention for the owner of a small club and make headlines, but he has chosen the wrong target. Manchester United will not use any illegal or unethical means to win. We want the title and will win the game through our strength."

While the controversy surrounding this incident was still ongoing, the entire Milan team had already boarded a connecting flight to Munich.

The Champions League final this season will be held at the Munich Olympic Stadium, at which time the Allianz Arena has not yet become Bayern Munich's home stadium.

The venue for the Champions League final was arranged long ago, but unfortunately Bayern failed to seize the opportunity to win the title on home soil and didn't even get to play in the Champions League.

The flight from Milan to Munich takes just over an hour.

To maintain secrecy, Sacchi did not announce the team's departure time in advance.

However, after the Milan team exited the terminal, they still saw countless reporters from all over the world, and the news had already spread like wildfire.

Upon seeing the Milan players, they swarmed around them.

"Dejan, do you see any difficulties in this match?"

"Mr. Sacchi, will Dejan start in the final?"

"What would you like to say to your former employer, Dejan?"

"Franco, would you choose to play in the final or give the opportunity to a younger player with better physical fitness?"

"..."

Sacchi was also in a real bind, fearing this kind of thing might happen, so he didn't announce a specific departure time to the team.

Unexpectedly, upon landing, he was still surrounded by reporters.

With the addition of onlookers, the crowd around them grew larger and larger.

Seeing that things weren't going well, Lu Deyang stepped forward and said, "Three questions. After you answer them, move aside and guide the fans and tourists not to gather together, okay?"

The reporters immediately agreed to his proposal.

"Deyang, do you have any special feelings when you face your former employer?"

"A reporter with a Liverpool accent asked."

"Of course, Manchester United offered me a contract during my most helpless period, allowing me to use the money to recover from my injury. I am always very grateful to Mr. Ferguson, Chairman Edwards, and the Manchester United fans."

Lu Deyang said.

"Would you celebrate if that goal against Manchester United? Who is Manchester United's most dangerous player?"

The reporter pressed for an answer.

Lu Deyang didn't open his mouth, but instead randomly pointed to a pretty female reporter and asked her to ask a question.

"Dejan, what are your thoughts on Ferguson?"

the reporter asked.

Lu Deyang said, "Mr. Ferguson is exceptionally talented and relentlessly hardworking. He doesn't shy away from new things and actively learns from other people's tactics and techniques. He embraces technological advancements; he even has a computer in his office. It's not easy to beat Mr. Ferguson's team. Even though I used to play for Manchester United, I might not be able to predict their tactics. Mr. Ferguson's tactics are very versatile, and he's also very good at learning and improving upon other people's tactics."

This is the last question.

After a brief argument, one of the reporters finally came up and asked, "If fans use extreme methods to disrupt your rest, who do you think you should contact to resolve the issue?"

"Police, don't be polite to football hooligans. If they want to ruin our chances of winning the championship, they'll have to pay the price. Okay, please help maintain order at the scene and remind fans and tourists not to linger."

It would be terrible if a stampede occurred.

The group made their way forward with difficulty, but thankfully boarded the bus without any major incident.

The whole team breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was still early, I was already hungry.

The bus slowly drove towards the hotel in Milan where we were staying.

Not long after, Milan players appeared in the hotel restaurant in twos and threes.

The players are exhausted; they can't keep up if they don't eat on time.

Lu Deyang had barely sat down when Totti immediately handed him a plate.

Buffon, who had just sat down, complained, "That sycophant definitely wants something from you, Dejan."

He thought Totti had changed his taste today, but it turned out he was preparing it for Lu Deyang.

“Francisco must have something important to do,” Lu Deyang said.

Redondo nodded in agreement.

He always felt that Totti was very measured.

When Totti returned, Lu Deyang asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, Francisco?"

"You noticed, Deyang."

Totti said somewhat embarrassedly, "My dad said he wouldn't watch matches of teams other than Roma, but he actually arrived in Munich quite early, even before us. I wanted to..."

"A performance you want your father to see?"

Lu Deyang asked.

“Yes, that’s it!” Totti nodded and said, “I want to prove to him that I made the right choice.”

Lu Deyang patted the little prince on the shoulder.

As the group chatted, the frequent appearances of Manchester United legends on television caught Lu Deyang's attention.

The British are good at creating news.

Given the high level of attention this Champions League final is receiving, they will definitely produce a lot of related programs around this match.

Inviting renowned figures to give interviews is the most basic step.

This is also a display of the two teams' heritage. Fortunately, Milan has a glorious history, so they are not afraid to compare themselves with legends.

Upon seeing George Best, Lu Deyang put down his knife and fork, wanting to see what Best would say.

George Best said to the camera: "I hope Manchester United can win, but their chances are slim. Neither Manchester United nor Sampdoria have been able to find Dejan's weaknesses since his departure. Dejan is the best player in the world, bar none. If I were 20 years younger, Dejan would have a worthy opponent..."
