Chapter 317 Europe's Fastest Sprint Speed ​​(Please Subscribe)

Little Ronaldo.

His strength is definitely not comparable to Ronnie's.

Ronnie's breakthroughs at his peak were incredibly powerful.

However, it's not entirely without advantages.

His heading ability, free kicks, and even his inside cut-in speed with his weaker foot are all better and faster than Ronaldo's.

They are also better at seizing opportunities.

Some people are born with a very keen sense of smell.

Ronaldo's ability to get into scoring positions isn't bad, but he prefers to dribble past defenders before attacking.

The two had distinctly different styles from the very beginning.

Cristiano Ronaldo played quite well during the Ballon d'Or season.

As for Ronaldo, there's no need to say more; he's a very strong player. Otherwise, he wouldn't have received so much praise if he hadn't won the Champions League.

In today's game, I need to perform well.

Another important thing is to limit Ronnie.

To contain Ronnie, you must contain the people behind him.

I don't know how Ferguson will arrange the starting lineup, but targeting Beckham is definitely the right move.

Fortunately, Sacchi had made arrangements in this regard.

It's just tough on the old guys. Facing strong opponents, they definitely need to make targeted arrangements, and not everyone will get a chance to play.

"All changed? Let's go!"

Baresi waved and said.

Lu Deyang got up and followed him out of the locker room.

Even before leaving the passageway, you could feel the fervor of the crowd.

This is a clash between the world's strongest team and the team that the British media calls the world's strongest.

After Lu Deyang left the team, some players at Manchester United rose to prominence even faster.

On the one hand, he had enough playing time in the first team and his performance improved; on the other hand, Lu Deyang was no longer in the headlines, and some media outlets were also stirring things up.

Besides, Beckham and others truly possess both talent and good looks.

"Deyang!"

"David!"

Milan!

As the players from both sides warmed up, various slogans were shouted loudly.

The atmosphere at the Munich Olympic Stadium continued to rise, seemingly without end.

The press box was already filled with journalists from all over the world.

Every reporter was busy and at work.

Even in this warm-up phase, there are plenty of useful news stories, and it's time to start shooting footage.

Both teams' fans also began their day's work.

Although TIFO hasn't been launched yet, their voices are impossible for anyone to ignore.

Two teams with red as their main color.

Manchester United's red was brighter, as if carrying expectations.

Milan's red is even deeper, like fresh blood.

In addition, there are local Bayern Munich fans.

From a distance, the entire Olympic Stadium still looked like a match day with national team games, as everyone wore red jerseys.

Ronaldo has already started warming up.

He started with a fancy dribbling routine with his calves.

It has feet but doesn't need to use its calves, and can basically stay standing in one place.

It's all about demonstrating ball control and ball feel.

The young Ronaldo also had a competitive spirit and was ready to give his opponent a hard time.

"Dejan, they are provoking you."

Totti pointed to Manchester United's half and urged them on.

Lu Deyang laughed as he juggled the ball, even trying out some fancy moves.

Continuously change the part of your body from which you bounce the ball, and finally lower your head to stop the ball with the back of your neck.

Not counting the moment of stopping the ball, it shouldn't be as spectacular as Ronaldo's juggling. Adjusting position and changing body parts is simpler than standing still.

But the fans don't care about that.

They're going crazy.

Even before the match started, the cheers from the stadium echoed throughout the Munich skyline.

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

The main reason is that we rarely see Lu Deyang doing fancy ball juggling during warm-up.

This performance has made them even more eager to see Lu Deyang's performance in today's match; clearly, Lu Deyang is very motivated.

Redondo dribbled the ball far to the goal, swung his arm and kicked it long, sending the ball flying straight towards Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang, having pinpointed the landing point, stood with his back to the goal and passed the ball out with his back shoulder.

In the stands.

George Best said excitedly, "This kid has finally figured it out. If you have the skills, you should show them off more."

"We are Manchester United legends."

Bobby Charlton said helplessly, looking at his teammate who had picked up the flask.

Best wiped his mouth with his arm and said, "Dejan is also a Manchester United legend, so it doesn't prevent me from supporting him while also supporting Manchester United. There's no conflict at all."

Charlton really didn't know how to refute it.

After all, there can only be one winner in a football match.

Whether it's Lu Deyang or Manchester United, one side will be heartbroken after the match because of the result.

Cesare Maldini was also present.

His main task was to scout Italian players, and he didn't expect so many Italians to choose to retire at the end of the season.

Some positions previously had very strong reserves, but now there are not enough people.

There's no problem with AC Milan's Italian internationals; they're all of the right age and can basically all be selected.

Even Buffon and Totti are considered the core of the next decade.

On the field, Lu Deyang has already started testing his footwork and practicing free kicks.

Cristiano Ronaldo's knuckleball is one of his most frequently used weapons during this period, and he should have a chance to use it today.

Buffon stood in front of the goal, constantly scooping up the ball and throwing it out.

Redondo would have passed the ball to Lu Deyang instead.

Lu Deyang stopped the ball with his foot, and after a run-up, immediately unleashed another powerful shot.

The ball clearly had no spin and was dropping very sharply. Even Buffon was fooled, and the ball, which was about to go over the crossbar, still slammed into the goal.

"Beautiful, Dejan!"

Buffon gave a thumbs-up and shouted.

He admired Lu Deyang most for this.

He was often substituted on for only about 10 minutes, and the team was still trailing.

Anyone else would probably be worried about their undefeated record.

However, Lu Deyang never complained and always performed well at crucial moments.

This is probably what makes a big-game player: the more crucial the moment and the more time-sensitive the situation, the better their footwork becomes.

This is the kind of Lu Deyang who makes people feel at ease.

"Dejan, are you really going to play on the right wing?"

"Yes, this was decided long ago, and I must respect the coach's tactical arrangements."

Lu Deyang said.

Beckham needs a dedicated person to watch him; Lu Deyang really couldn't stop his passes when he was matched up against him.

Therefore, someone needs to go and keep an eye on it.

As for whether they can stop Ronaldo, that depends on luck.

Even those defenders in their prime needed luck to stop Ronaldo.

The attacker always has the advantage in a one-on-one situation.

……

Henry appeared in the stands today with his mother, Monica, and Quanshui.

In addition, the cameras frequently focused on the Milan families, including some teammates' relatives. After the players went to the tunnel, the cameras even gave a five-second close-up of the wives and girlfriends of both teams, clearly trying to cause trouble.

Fans can see it more clearly now.

As for the wives and girlfriends, there aren't many Manchester United players with normal taste.

Even Cantona's wife, a primary school teacher, was a fairly ordinary person, which may have been the reason for their later divorce. Childhood sweethearts couldn't compete with the sudden arrival of a blond-haired newcomer.

The wives and girlfriends of Milan are almost all former models.

Moreover, she doesn't have that skinny physique. Not to mention her overwhelmingly better looks, she's not even in the same league in terms of temperament.

The difference in camera presence between ordinary people and trained models is vividly displayed on television.

Even Baggio's wife, whom he's had since high school, is quite beautiful.

This time, the relatively unknown AC Milan WAGs (wives and girlfriends) stole the show, making fans realize that the Milan WAGs' lack of news was simply due to their low profile.

"dad."

As the Champions League theme song played, both teams entered the field with the refereeing team.

The eldest son pointed at the field and shouted.

"Dad hasn't come out yet."

Adriana pushed the eldest prince's hand away and said.

"Dad, Daddy..."

The eldest son, feeling suppressed, was unhappy and instead pointed his finger out forcefully.

The nearby family members burst into laughter.

The vertical arrangement wasn't obvious before, but now the players from both teams are lined up on either side of the referee team. Isn't that referring to Lu Deyang?
"The Godfather, the Godfather!!!"

Adriana emphasized helplessly.

"dad……"

Hahaha.

Monica couldn't hold back and burst into laughter, grabbing Adriana's shoulders.

The main reason is that she knew the inside story.

When the eldest son was staying there, Lu Deyang taught the little guy to call him "Dad".

Seeing the results now still makes me laugh.

"The Milan families get along very well, which is what we hope to see. The players can also rest assured that their female partners will not affect the harmony of the locker room."

"Both sides made some changes to their usual tactics in today's match, which was obviously an arrangement made in response to their opponent in the final."

"Next, let's take a look at the starting lineups for both sides."

Manchester United's 4-4-2 diamond midfield:

Goalkeeper: Schmeichel
Defenders: Phil Neville, David May, Parish, Gary Neville

Midfielders: Nicky Butt, Desailly, Cantona, Beckham
Forwards: Ronaldo, Andy Cole.

Milan's 4-4-2 formation with two defensive midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Buffon
Defenders: Coco, Maldini, Baresi, Reiziger

Midfielders: Davids, Redondo, Albertini, Ludjan

Forwards: Van Basten, Totti.

"Both sides have put a lot of effort into their defense. The trident of Cantonazi (number 9.5) plus Ronaldo and Andy Cole is currently the strongest attacking combination in the Premier League. Davies playing on the left is obviously to counter Beckham's passing, but is it a bit of a loss to have Dejan switch wing?"

“Giggs has not fully recovered from his injury after the semi-final, but he still has a chance to play, and he is already on the roster today. Ferguson has to make some trade-offs with his choice of a diamond midfield, and Scholes, who performed well before, is on the bench.”

“Milan’s defense has undergone significant changes. At the end of the season, Sacchi gave Coco many opportunities, aiming to use this young full-back to counter Manchester United’s speed. Maldini’s move to center-back alongside Baresi was also a key change. With no shortage of foreign player slots in the Champions League, Reizig finally got his chance. While strengthening the midfield defense, Sacchi opted for a faster full-back. Sacchi’s adjustments were specifically aimed at Manchester United’s flanks.”

"However, Giggs didn't start, I wonder if he'll be satisfied with this result. Alright, both captains have gone to flip the coin, the match is about to begin."

Baresi originally wanted to give the armband to Lu Deyang, after all, he was his former team.

However, Lu Deyang refused. This was Baresi's last official match.

He prefers to win the Champions League with two different teams for two consecutive years rather than wear the armband.

When Cantona went up, Baresi frowned.

Those who know him well know that's just how he is, while those who don't feel he's a bit annoying, always acting like he's the most important person in the world.

However, this is something that can't be said, since appearance and temperament are things that can't be changed.

Baresi looked somewhat melancholy when he was expressionless, but he became kind and gentle in his old age.

Maybe other people don't like him either.

A very funny scene occurred when the two were guessing a coin: Cantona's nose was sticking out, and Baresi rolled his eyes.

The referee was about to curse. Why don't you take a look at me?

Fortunately, it ended quickly, with Milan kicking off first.

Lu Deyang was making his final preparations at halftime when Gary Neville winked at him from afar.

Neville was clearly very happy that he didn't get to face off against Lu Deyang today.

As for his brother, all we can do is wish him good luck.

At 7:30 p.m., the referee from Hungary, Alexander Pull, blew the whistle to start the match.

Van Basten passed the ball across, and Totti immediately turned and passed it to Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang didn't rush to pass the ball, but instead took small, quick steps forward.

If you get [Little Luo], wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't even ride the bike a few times?

The diamond midfield lacks explosiveness on the flanks, requiring the full-backs to push forward. The Neville brothers' willingness to push forward makes Milan's counter-attacks highly effective, and Davies' speed is no joke.

Generally speaking, Manchester United's formation is at a significant disadvantage.

But after all, he's Ferguson; he might have other plans.

Nicky Bart reluctantly stepped forward.

He really didn't expect Lu Deyang to play on the right wing.

Throughout his entire professional career, Lu Deyang played on the right wing no more than five times.

Then in the Champions League final, they deliberately switched to the right wing to dismantle him?

Bart didn't think he had that much influence.

Looking at his former teammate, Bart felt a lot of pressure.

Swah——

Lu Deyang's left foot swept over the ball, and then he switched to his right foot.

Not only him, but even Desailly, who came to cover, was dumbfounded.

Lu Deyang performed a high-speed bicycle kick in place without moving forward, a move he has almost never made in his games.

What do you want to do?
Bart's mind was a complete mess.

They couldn't even consider what kind of dribbling technique would be used to get past opponents after such a bicycle kick.

Desailly sensed something was wrong and rushed toward Lu Deyang.

The Frenchman chose to extend his foot directly while running, launching a sliding tackle from the side.

click -

Lu Deyang's left foot didn't brush the ball again; instead, he knocked it away directly.

Start directly.

Desailly regretted his actions and wanted to turn back, but Newton would never allow it.
The Frenchman turned and reached out, trying to pull Lu Deyang to steady himself, but he couldn't touch Lu Deyang's trousers.

The explosive power is too strong!

It rushed past him almost instantly.

Seeing this, Totti slowed down and charged forward, allowing Van Basten to reach the opposing defense.

The old swan's athletic ability has declined considerably, but its role as a pivot point near the penalty area remains very strong.

"Oh shit……"

Ferguson cursed inwardly, uttering words that started with the letter F.

With the lone defensive midfielder getting beaten like that, he's now directly facing the defense.

A 5-on-4 advantage in the frontcourt? That's just giving away free wins.

Fortunately, Gary Neville anticipated the ball's trajectory the moment Lu Deyang made the pass, sliding in to stop Davis before he could reach it. He then lost his footing and passed the ball back to Schmeichel, who cleared the danger zone.

This relieved Ferguson.

He has now discovered a problem with the diamond midfield formation.

The number 10 position requires good defensive ability.

The number 10 position should cover the flanks, and the defensive midfielder should cover for them. This way, the flanks and defensive midfielders won't be beaten in one go, leaving the opponent directly facing the defense.

But Cantona's defense.

That's all I can say; it was all about recklessness.

Who knows, if he gets angry, he might end up in trouble.

This also gave him a major headache, and he dared not assign Cantona too many defensive tasks.

Even when he's not allowed to defend, he'll still tackle people from behind.

It's hard to say how things will turn out if I assign him to defense.

Manchester United's physicality is not bad, but due to the different player arrangements, they are still at a disadvantage when pressing with four midfielders against four midfielders.

Cantona and Ludjohn don't defend much.

Davies, Redondo, and Albertini can even be considered a three-man defensive midfield trio, something Manchester United's diamond midfield can't match.

Desailly is trying to chase the ball.

Unfortunately, the Milan players didn't stop the ball at all; they passed it out with one touch, and the speed was extremely fast.

Redondo received the ball and passed it diagonally to the right wing again.

Bart rushed toward Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang didn't use any fancy tricks this time. He pretended to be on the wing but suddenly stopped and passed the ball to his left foot. He then flicked the ball forward with his left foot and cut inside again ahead of time.

Desailly tried to intercept.

Snapped,
Lu Deyang, who had the ball, immediately flicked his ankle and knocked the ball away hard.

Totti received the ball with his back to goal and marked Pallister. He wanted to pass with his heel, but fearing that Van Basten wouldn't have enough speed to accelerate, he chose to pass it back instead.

It was a lucky shot. Desailly moved back and adjusted his position, and Totti's pass landed perfectly at Desailly's feet.

Faced with this unexpected gift, Desailly reacted quickly. Fearing that the ball would bounce away and give Totti a chance to win it back, he simply took the initiative to dive to the ground and sweep the ball across to the side.

Lu Deyang made a quick tackle, almost instantly rushing across the halfway line.

Butt didn't dare to touch the ball and backheeled it to his teammate.

Neville Jr. received the ball and deliberately stopped it forward, then took a run-up and kicked it.

boom,
That shot was pretty accurate; it was aimed at Milan's defense.

Andy Cole and Ronaldo started up together; this should be considered the Black Wind Duo PRO MAX version.

The two players had a very clear division of labor: Ronaldo would make a forward run, and Cole would win the header and then pass the ball to Ronaldo.

In this situation, Maldini could only take responsibility for Cole, and Baresi, in the last game of his career, faced one of the most outrageous strikers in history.

Maldini clearly hadn't expected Cole to have such a good jumping ability; his takeoff was half a head short.

Cole headed the ball into the penalty area.

Baresi turned slowly, but Ronaldo was faster.

He rushed past him almost instantly, and as soon as he got the ball, it was a one-on-one opportunity.

"Buffon!!!!"

"Gianluigi Buffon made a very decisive run, diving directly at the ball. Although he couldn't catch it, he punched it away, preventing Ronaldo from getting the ball."

"Redondo pressed Beckham down the wing, but Beckham couldn't find an opportunity to pass. He turned at the corner flag and kicked the ball at Redondo. The linesman signaled a corner kick."

"Milan had a clear advantage in the early stages. Manchester United's formation was relatively thin, and their lone defensive midfielder was easy to break through. But we must be careful of their counter-attacks."

"Krudelli reminded me."

Baresi was also still shaken.

Ronaldo's muscles weren't that muscular, but as soon as he turned around, he felt like he was about to be knocked down by the other player.

His high ranking in the Golden Globe Awards is well-deserved.

The Milan captain sensed that this Brazilian was no ordinary player.

"Are you okay?"

"rest assured."

Baresi said, but there was no sign of relaxation.

He doesn't want to become a weakness for Milan in the last game of his career.

Beckham stood at the corner flag and called out to Lu Deyan, who was back in front of the penalty area: "His crosses are very accurate, be careful."

Buffon gave him a thumbs-up from afar, indicating that he understood.

After the whistle blew, Beckham took a run-up and delivered a corner kick, the ball heading straight for the near post with just the right height.

This time Maldini was prepared, easily overpowering Andy Cole with his height advantage and heading the ball out of the penalty area.

Desailly came up and immediately swung his right foot, but his long-range shot hit Cantona in the buttocks, who couldn't dodge in time.

By the time he tried to get the ball again, Redondo had already slid in and shoved it behind the Frenchman.

Manchester United players quickly ran back.

The four balls ended up at Gary Neville's feet.

The full-back attempted to lob the ball directly into the penalty area from midfield, but Maldini controlled it head-on and launched a long ball out, which Andy Cole, who was trying to intercept, failed to reach.

Maldini performed exceptionally well in air defense today.

"Counterattack!!!"

Lu Deyang shouted.

The ball landed just before the halfway line, and Beckham, who was nearby, jumped up to head it, but the ball was still flying towards Manchester United's half.

Davis rushed forward and stretched out his foot, poking the side of the falling ball.

Snapped,
The ball bypassed Pallister and was passed to the left wing, where Totti dribbled forward.

The Little Prince's absolute speed is not fast.

Manchester United fans didn't take it seriously.

But at that moment, a white figure in the shot caused many people to gasp in surprise.

Holy crap, is this for real?

Lu Deyang!!!
When Maldini launched the long ball, Lu Deyang was in the Milan penalty area.

At this point, Lu Deyang had reached the vicinity of the center line.

Phil Neville chased after Lu Deyang, but fell behind after only two steps.

Knowing he couldn't stop Lu Deyang, Neville shouted, "Watch out on the right flank!"

The others heard his warning, but there was nothing they could do.

The players chasing back were concentrated on the left flank.

Seeing this, David May gritted his teeth and accelerated, preparing to go up and force Totti to intercept.

Totti, who was dribbling diagonally inwards, suddenly made a very awkward adjustment and delivered a pass with the outside of his right toe.

Snapped--

With a backheel flick, the ball bounced off the left side of the penalty area, and neither Davis nor Pallister could reach it.

Lu Deyang charged into the penalty area from the right flank, unmarked.

Schmeichel had no time to change positions at the far post and could only face Lu Deyang.

click -

Facing the incoming ball, Lu Deyang forcibly shortened his steps with his left foot, almost stepping on the spot, and pushed out with the inside of his foot.

Bang—Under the gaze of 53600 fans in the stadium, Schmeichel burst forward towards the right side of the goal, but unexpectedly the ball was aimed at the far corner. Even though the ball was touched by his right foot, it still went into the goal.

"Goal!"

"Goal!"

"Goal!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"Dejan was very active on the right wing today, frequently cutting inside and directly breaking through Manchester United's midfield. From that moment on, I knew Manchester United was in danger."

"Manchester United's defense today was focused on Milan's left flank, which should be the result of targeted training, aiming to mark Dejan closely. Therefore, there was not much time to think during counter-attacks, and many players instinctively tracked back from the left flank."

"Even if they chase back down the right flank, it won't affect Dejan's goal. In this goal, Dejan ran from the Milan penalty area to the Manchester United penalty area, covering 90 meters in just 9.73 seconds. That's a truly terrifying sprint speed."
