If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 321 This is Youth (Please Subscribe)
Maldini and Baresi were both rubbing their teeth with their tongues.

He would occasionally take a breath.

Maldini's tackle success rate was already quite high today.

However, when faced with absolute speed, you should be careful when making tackles.

A successful shovel strike can save you from trouble, but a bad shovel strike can be like a shovel behind your back, which can result in you getting a penalty card.

"I finally understand those opponents."

Maldini said.

“He’s different from Dejan. Dejan doesn’t like his opponents getting close,” Baresi said.

Ronaldo is like a bull on steroids; once he starts, he can't stop. He takes at least two punches and kicks during a long run. His combination of physical strength and technique is just reckless.

But Lu Deyang is different. If you let him dribble from his own penalty area into the opponent's penalty area, he may not even make physical contact with the opponent.

"Dejan is afraid of pain."

Maldini said with a smile, "Don't let his low injury rate fool you, he actually hates being tackled."

"I also hate being tackled, but I can't get past people in one go."

Baresi laughed along with him.

Buffon, listening from behind, couldn't help but purse his lips.

When faced with a strong opponent, Baresi and his group would talk about Lu Deyang.

It was really Lu Deyang in the team that gave them confidence; even though they were already leading 3-2, the Milan players still didn't feel any urgency.

Lu Deyang's performance over the past period speaks for itself.

You don't even need to think about this.

Regardless of Milan's form, they should celebrate victory when the final whistle blows.

This is a team that is used to winning.

Wiljoward listened quietly from the side.

I'm used to this kind of thing by now.

After all, he and Lu Deyang were teammates at Sampdoria, and then became teammates again at Milan.

A few days ago, Baresi asked him about retiring. He originally wanted to say it would be in the next two years, but then he remembered what he had said before and kept quiet.

After discussing this matter with Lu Deyang, he went on to play for Juventus and AC Milan.

Who the hell can play until they're too old to play and are ready to retire, yet still manage to play for two top clubs and reach the Champions League final?
Sometimes, even Will Joward felt it was a bit outrageous. Was there some mysterious force that helped him maintain his form for a few more years every time he said he was going to retire?
"Watch out, guys!"

Baresi reached out to remind him.

"Okay, Captain."

Maldini immediately echoed this sentiment.

Buffon retrieved the ball and threw it towards midfield, where Van Basten stopped it with his foot.

"Roberto, warm up."

"Saki said."

Baggio took off his training jacket, stood up, and asked, "Should I switch with Marco or Edgar, coach?"

He rarely questions the coach's decisions, but today he was a little uneasy.

Saki was aware of this, of course, so he paused for a moment.

I never expected that Mr. Nice Guy would learn to ask rhetorical questions.

Sacchi replied, "Marco, he can't run anymore."

"Okay, coach, I'm worried you might need to switch out the wingers."

Baggio offered an explanation and began warming up on the sidelines.

Davis was actually very important in today's game.

He often doesn't appear in public, yet he consistently puts pressure on Beckham.

Beckham hasn't been performing as well as before because he has this scoundrel by his side.

Milan slowed down their attack this time. Albertini received the ball and still wanted to pass it to Lu Deyang, but Giggs blocked it with his foot.

Lu Deyang reacted quickly, rushing forward and launching a sliding tackle.

Having missed the ball this time, Giggs didn't dare to hold onto it for too long and quickly passed it across to Cantona.

Redondo pressed forward very quickly, and Cantona simply passed the ball to the right wing without stopping it.

Beckham made way, and Gary Neville received the ball, cut inside, and immediately played a through ball.

Left flank!

And it was on the left foot.

He delivered a high-quality pass with his non-dominant foot.

Giggs tried to use his speed to get the ball, but Lu Deyan on the inside maintained his lead and didn't give him a chance to move forward.

The two chased each other into the penalty area, and Lu Deyang slid in and sent the ball out of bounds.

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

The Rossoneri were excited.

There's really nothing to criticize about Lu Deyang's performance on both offense and defense.

Today, whether he was defending Ronaldo or other Manchester United players, Lu Deyang frequently appeared on camera.

Sometimes, even if you don't manage to steal the ball, you can use your speed to cause trouble for the opponent and help your teammates steal it.

No fan would hate a player who works this hard.

"Manchester United have won a corner kick. AC Milan need to be careful. Manchester United have scored 9 goals from corner kicks in the Premier League, making them the highest-scoring team in the entire Premier League."

"Dejan is choosing his position, well, Dejan might be teasing his opponent. He deliberately blocks Cantona, and when the Frenchman changes position, he immediately moves out of the penalty area. Cantona wants to go back, and Dejan goes back to Cantona again. Hahaha, our number seven is obviously very humorous."

Cantona said with a hint of helplessness, "Don't do that."

If it were someone else, he would just start cursing.

"How is it?" Lu Deyang raised an eyebrow and asked, "We're playing in the finals, and you can't even handle a little tactical maneuver, Eric?"

"Fine, you damn bastard, when I've had enough of living, I'll shoot you first, then end my own life."

Cantona said irritably.

He felt that Lu Deyang might be deliberately targeting him.

After all, he has some issues with emotional control.

"Relax, buddy."

Lu Deyang said nonchalantly.

Anyway, Cantona can't do anything to him.

While the two were talking, Beckham quickly took a corner kick.

The power of that shot clearly indicated they didn't want to give it to the near post.

Lu Deyang made his judgment and turned to run. There were a lot of people in the penalty area, and they didn't need him to compete for the second ball.

Going out allows for a quick participation in the counterattack.

This is more physically demanding than staying in the attacking third.

However, he also participated in the defense.

It's all about using more physical energy to kick.

Maldini headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Unfortunately, Albertini's pass was blocked by Giggs' outstretched leg as he turned to pass the ball, preventing him from making the pass.

Many fans held their heads in regret.

Otherwise, if the ball had been passed to Lu Deyang, the chances of winning the game would have been very high.

After a brief struggle in front of the penalty area, possession returned to Milan.

After receiving the ball on the right wing, Reiziger immediately chipped it to Lu Deyang.

Giggs was very active after he came on, but unfortunately his defensive ability was average.

Lu Deyang flicked the ball with his left foot and immediately pulled back, then flicked it again with his left foot after a small flick of his tail to start the attack.

Two consecutive moves left Giggs unable to adjust his balance, and he could only watch helplessly as Lu Deyang dribbled away.

Desailly has become the busiest person at Manchester United today.

Every time Lu Deyang dribbles, he needs to cover immediately.

After playing most of the game, the French finally realized what was happening.

Since it's difficult for him to intercept Lu Deyang, he might as well keep Lu Deyang on the wing and let him lead him all the way to the corner flag area, which would reduce the threat considerably.

The moment Desailly arrived, Lu Deyang realized the other party's intentions.

The Frenchman kept closing the distance between him and the touchline.

If you're not careful while dribbling the ball on the sideline, it can easily go out of bounds.

However, Lu Deyang didn't pay attention, and Philip Neville also came over.

Seeing this, Lu Deyang made a move to speed up, but his heel tripped.

Manchester United's two defenders reacted quickly, but it still took them some time.

Having planned ahead, Lu Deyang turned and dribbled the ball sideways.

This startled Ferguson on the sidelines, who shouted to the field, "Press the ball high, don't give Dejan a chance to shoot from long range."

It can only be said that he is a top coach, with excellent control over the game.

Curly-haired guy does have a pretty good long-range shooting ability.

David May came up quickly, and Lu Deyang couldn't get a shot off, so he simply passed the ball to the left wing.

Davis charged forward with the ball, and Gary Neville tried everything, but he couldn't slow the Dutchman down.

The two players grappled as they headed towards the baseline, with other players from both teams coming to support them.

With little room to adjust, Davis simply used his body to push past Neville, creating a bit of space before cutting inside and forcefully charging into the penalty area.

After a few more steps, the ball was tackled out of bounds by Beckham, who had returned to the penalty area.

"Davis is, after all, just Davis; his dribbling ability isn't among the best of AC Milan's players. Sacchi made a substitution, replacing Van Basten with Baggio, which was a good choice. Baggio should play in matches like this."

"Next is Milan's corner kick, and as expected, it's Baggio. Baggio went to the corner flag. Both teams' fans craned their necks, but today neither team's players are particularly good at heading. Both Milan's defense and Manchester United's attack lack some height."

This is basically a clash of idiots between two teams.

When Manchester United headed the ball, it was a 1.7-meter battle; when Milan had a high ball, it was a 1.8-meter battle.

Relatively speaking, Milan's attacking line still has a certain height advantage over Manchester United's defense.

Manchester United players are aware of this, so they place great importance on defending set pieces.

Seeing that there was little chance, Lu Deyang simply moved quietly to the vicinity of the top of the arc.

Giggs followed him to the edge of the penalty area.

"Ryan, it doesn't have to be like this."

Lu Deyang said with a hint of helplessness.

Butt, that haphazard, unpredictable player, was marking you closely, even though you're a top European winger.

"It's the boss's order; we can't leave you alone."

Giggs said in a muffled voice.

Few wingers like to defend, but he dared not disobey Ferguson's orders.

Lu Deyang shrugged.

The wind in Scotland is indeed quite frightening.

Baggio took the corner kick after his run-up.

The corner kick was sent to the near post, and Reizig jumped and headed the ball, but it hit Cantona's shoulder and couldn't be cleared.

Seeing the ball fall in front of the goal, a scramble ensued between the players. Schmeichel seized the opportunity, diving to his side and using his body to hold the ball down.

"Well done, Peter."

"I don't have time to chat with you, idiot."

Schmeichel got up and, without even looking at Gary Neville, threw the ball directly to the right wing.

Beckham's position was far enough forward.

Manchester United fans were initially excited, but their excitement quickly turned into frustration just three seconds later.

Lu Deyang!
Lu Deyang chased after him.

It's already absurd to defend only one lane, but Lu Deyang, a winger, was looking for opportunities to cover both lanes today.

He rushed forward to directly challenge Beckham, slowing down Beckham's dribbling speed and preventing Manchester United's quick counter-attack from taking place.

Knowing he couldn't outrun Lu Deyang, Beckham decisively attempted a deep cross.

But before he could make a move, Lu Deyang's left foot was already blocking his way.

The ball hit Lu Deyang's foot and bounced out of bounds.

At the start of the second half, both sides were awarded more set pieces.

Philip Neville stood on the sidelines, ready to throw the ball in.

After observing carefully, he still found no opening, so he simply took a running start and threw it to Giggs.

Giggs launched his attack immediately, while Albertini, who was defending him, was a step too slow.

Just when the Welsh winger thought he was going to get the ball, Ludwig slid in from the side and tackled the ball away again right in front of Giggs.

"Can Dejan really play like that for the entire match?"

Tardelli asked with some concern.

“I don’t know, but Dejan isn’t the kind of person who doesn’t know what’s going on. I think he should be very clear about what he’s doing.”

Saki said with a smile.

I've already told Lu Deyang not to go back to defend once, I can't keep urging him to.

The whole team has defensive duties, but Lu Deyang is not allowed to participate in defense, which is somewhat problematic.

Unfortunately, Manchester United failed to capitalize on this opportunity. The ball was thrown out and hooked away by Wiljoward. Buffon received the pass and immediately launched a long kick, sending the ball far away from the danger zone.

"Pretty!"

"Finally, we're out of trouble."

"At times like this, we absolutely cannot allow the opponent to besiege our penalty area. In the second half, physical exertion increases, and it's easy for players to lose focus."

……

The away fans' stand.

Mancini was getting anxious.

I wish I could appear on stage myself.

Curly-haired boy asked, somewhat puzzled, "You haven't retired yet? I thought you'd retired after your skill level dropped this far."

"No, I'm an important figure on the team."

Mancini explained with a smirk.

Totti has grown up, and now another annoying kid has arrived.

He vowed not to let his son become such an annoying, talkative child.

As a professional player, he knew very well that today's match represented the pinnacle of both teams' skills and tactics.

Both teams are quite strong and well-equipped.

At this point, of course we have to give it our all.

Unfortunately, neither team had a clear advantage. If Lu Deyang hadn't been doing the work of two players, the old guys might have made a mistake in their haste and given away an own goal.

The team has played too many games.

Furthermore, the media also put considerable pressure on the players.

This is the source of the players' pressure.

After winning the season to the very end, of course you want to keep winning; that's the common mentality.

The same applies to Manchester United and AC Milan.

No wonder both teams' players are becoming increasingly cautious.

Judging from the game alone, you'd think Manchester United had taken the lead.

A few minutes later, Manchester United's set piece still failed to work.

Gary Neville came up to receive the ball and tried to make a through pass, but this time Lu Deyang simply stretched out his leg and blocked the ball.

"Great job, they've fought back!!!"

Even Kruderi couldn't help but shout.

They completely forgot that a commentator should remain neutral.

This time, Lu Deyang didn't waste any words with them after receiving the ball. He turned around and dribbled forward from the middle, passing Gary Neville who was passing the ball, and almost instantly crossed the center line.

Such terrifying speed and explosive power will always feel incredibly powerful, no matter how many times you see it.

too fast!
They didn't give Manchester United players any time to get back into defense.

Once past the center line, Lu Deyang was about to leave the center circle. Desailly, gritting his teeth and chasing back, saw no one in front of the penalty area and simply slid in and brought down Lu Deyang.

"Damn it, you want to fight?"

Totti is very fast.

He wasn't playing well today, and he's holding back a lot of anger.
"calm down."

Baggio quickly tried to persuade him.

"The referee gave a yellow card, and a red card wouldn't have been unreasonable for this foul. But now it seems the referee is still lax in his oversight of the rules."

"Dejan stopped Totti; at this point, we really can only rely on Dejan."

"Dejan quickly took the free kick, Baggio moved to the left wing to try and get possession, Dejan was dribbling forward, but it was still difficult to break through such a dense defense, so he chose to pass across again, this time to the right wing."

Davis was clearly pleased that Lu Deyang valued him so much, but his opponents didn't see it that way.

Before Davis could even get a move off the ball, Gary Neville stretched out his leg to block the Dutchman's passing lane.

Davis didn't want to get entangled with him, but as he started running forward, he found his jersey being tugged.

Gary Neville, who was a step too slow, used this tactic to run alongside.

The two hadn't run more than a few steps when Davis lost his balance and fell onto the grass.

beep—

This time the referee was finally more decisive, indicating a foul by Manchester United and awarding AC Milan a free kick.

If you were given a free kick at this point, and it went in, it would almost certainly kill the game.

However, the position is not very good; it's on the right side and quite far from the goal in a straight line.

"Do you need my help?"

Baggio asked.

"Keep an eye on who doesn't like me and submit a report to me later."

Lu Deyang joked.

Want to help? Help my ass.

You can kick a free kick that far.

Lu Deyang stood at the spot where the foul occurred.

This time, the Manchester United players also didn't take it very seriously.

Even for Lu Deyang, the location of the foul was too far away.

If it were a player who wasn't as skilled, they wouldn't have been able to play this game.

Two players have now won free kicks in the attacking third.

Lu Deyang was not prepared to give up such a good opportunity.

There's not much time left in the second half. If this goal goes in, it'll practically guarantee them the championship.

Ronaldo returned to his half, staring at Lu Deyang's retreating figure with a complex expression.

The frequent physical confrontations today have taken a toll on his energy.

Lu Deyang was the instigator.

If it weren't for Lu Deyang's constant harassment, he might have already tied the score.

However, Ronaldo was still convinced.

The sheer amount of sprinting back and forth between the front and back courts surprised him.

Both sets of fans were on the edge of their seats.

He clasped his hands together, not daring to utter a sound.

Creating noise to influence the players would require more people to cooperate, but not every fan is willing to participate in their plans.

They were also afraid of affecting their own players.

The two sides remained silent for a brief period of peaceful coexistence.

beep—

The referee blew his whistle.

rub--

Lu Deyang then dashed out.

Left foot

Right foot,

Left foot.

The location was quite far, so he took a few extra steps to get a running start.

After reaching the ball, he immediately used his knee to generate power, tensing his entire body as he shoved the ball under his foot, accompanied by a lifting motion.

boom--

The force wasn't too great, but the ball's flight path was flawless, quickly soaring over the wall and heading straight for the right side of the goal.

Schmeichel quickly dove to the side.

He thought that at such a distance, he could make a judgment before taking any action.

Unfortunately, the ball was not fast enough, leaving him no time to think. He had to rely entirely on his instincts to choose a defensive position.

As the ball grew larger in his line of sight, Schmeichel was not happy about it.

He was horrified to discover that the ball was moving faster than he had expected. He had judged the position and height correctly, but he couldn't get his hand out first.

a step far.

If only he had stretched out his arm, he could have touched it. But alas, there are no "ifs." The ball flew right past Schmeichel's head and into the goal.

boom--

"Deyang!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"Goal! Goal! Goal!!!"

"Another dipping free kick goal, Dejan's free kicks are really entertaining. Last time he was closer to the goal on the left wing, but Dejan chose to let the ball bounce. This time, from 42 meters out, Dejan chose to send the ball straight to the goal."

"Such a choice is clearly unconventional, and Dejan obviously put a lot of effort into the psychological game. Moreover, as the best free-kick taker in European football right now, Dejan's performance today was also outstanding. In the most important game, he scored two out of three free kicks, demonstrating an extremely high free-kick scoring efficiency. It is not shameful for Manchester United to lose to a Dejan like this."

"Krudelli said excitedly."

Although the game isn't over yet, it's practically over.

4: 2.

The score was a bloody 88:21.

Time is running out for Manchester United.
