Chapter 323 The King of Land Balls is Going on Stage (Please Subscribe)

Lu Deyang and Buffon took a urine test together and saw Giggs and Ronaldo. He greeted the two of them.

After the two men left, Totti said in a low voice, "They love to play, but they're not that old."

You'll notice it even if you don't want to in the toilet.

All are at normal levels.

A person who is abnormally playful is easily exposed by women, otherwise there would be news about Rooney not being very good.

Chelsea players have said that Mourinho is very exaggerated, but I don't know if it's true or not.

A team with a tough coach as the top coach is no ordinary person.

"What's the connection?"

Lu Deyang said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I thought it was because of some special talent."

Totti raised an eyebrow and said, "Like in the movies, you've seen Tinto's, right? The guy behind the tree."

Lu Deyang nodded.

When it comes to acting in movies, you definitely have to go for big names.

"Are you alright, Francisco?"

Lu Deyang asked curiously.

"How could that be, Dejan? You're insulting me. If someone else asked me that, would I hit them?" Totti said, somewhat displeased.

"No, I was just asking."

Lu Deyang said.

After all, Blasie has put so many hats on the little prince, it's normal for Lu Qiuwang to have such associations.

However, considering that neither Totti's ex-girlfriend nor his later girlfriend complained, it's probably just that Blasi couldn't control her crotch.

Regardless of status, physique, or appearance, Blasie has taken a significant step toward equality for all.

She is one, and Paris Hilton, who can work with security guards, bodyguards, and homeless people, is another. They are all true female bodhisattvas.

Totti then asked, "What do those women see in Ronaldo? Mancini is ten times more handsome than him."

“Maybe some people just like this one,” Lu Deyang said.

In the world of football, looks have become less important; fame and earning power are more crucial. Beautiful girls tend to prefer star players from top clubs and national team players. There are many beauty-and-beast combinations, and Ronaldo is at least not considered unattractive.

Young people like the Little Prince still think appearance is important.

Over the years, I've never heard of any player being unable to get married because they're ugly; on the contrary, all the French black players have blonde, busty women as their partners.

After handing in the urine sample, Lu Deyang parted ways with the little prince.

Totti went back to celebrate first, while Lu Deyang went to the press conference.

When he arrived, the press conference had already been going on for a while. Lu Deyang quietly sat down next to Saki, and the reporters in the audience all breathed a sigh of relief.

It's obvious that many people want to interview Lu Deyang.

Ferguson, in response to the question, said, "You saw the game, we weren't outmatched, Ronaldo was outstanding, but as I said before, Dejan is the best player."

"You mean Dejan affected Ronaldo's performance, Alex?"

The reporter pressed for an answer.

“Go back and watch the video. How many times did Dejan choose to press Ronnie during our attacks? Even though I coached Dejan before, I still find it hard to understand why his stamina is so incredible. His performance on both ends of the pitch is like a combination of Baggio and Matthäus.”

Ferguson complained.

I used to have a very comfortable job coaching Lu Deyang.

This match was incredibly frustrating.

Ronaldo did cause AC Milan a lot of trouble, but after Lu Deyang started dropping back to participate in the defense, Ronaldo had far fewer opportunities to get the ball.

He didn't even seek possession of the ball, just to disrupt Ronaldo's ability to receive it.

How can you deal with such an extreme defense? Ronaldo can't beat Ludwig in the header, which means that Manchester United's crossing ability is largely useless. Without an attacking core, crossing is pointless.

In addition, with Davies harassing Beckham, Gary Neville made more crosses than Beckham today.

They're being targeted too much.

"Mr. Ferguson, in which positions will you strengthen the team this summer?"

A reporter asked, "Manchester United needs some outstanding players to help the team compete against a super team like AC Milan. What positions will you bring in? Do you have specific targets?"

Ferguson paused for a moment and said, "I don't know who to buy. If possible, I'd like to buy Maldini. It's difficult to strengthen Manchester United's squad because my players are already excellent. We lose not because our players are bad, but because our opponents are stronger. But now, can any of you tell me where to buy a new Pelé and a new Beckenbauer?"

Even after winning the championship, they still made signings to motivate the players.

This is what he has always been doing.

At this point, he didn't mind talking about summer signings, but Manchester United's squad was really not easy to strengthen.

The strength of each position is either top-notch or just slightly below average.

A better attacking midfielder than Cantona? Zidane is probably the only one in his prime right now.

A better goalkeeper than Schmeichel? Buffon might not even be better than Schmeichel now, and he's far less experienced.

Even if some players are a bit lacking.

However, whether bringing in a new player can replace the existing Neville and Irwin is also a question.

"Some experts believe that Andy Cole and Ronaldo are not a good match. Do you have any targets in the forward line?"

the reporter asked.

"I can bring in players to be their backups, but I can't bring in players to replace them. Like I said, if you have any good suggestions, you can call me privately. You know my number. If it's a really useful suggestion, Manchester United will pay you enough for the scouting fee."

Ferguson said with a cold laugh.

Aside from freakish strikers like Ronaldo, Andy Cole is one of the best strikers right now.

If you buy a player like Vieri or Montella to play in the Premier League, he might not be as effective as Andy Cole. Whether the player can adapt is a question, and even if he can adapt, it's a waste of money if he can't produce better stats.

Kerr has 20 goals, and he spends $20 million to buy a player who also has 2000 goals. What's the point?

Without a striker who is clearly superior or a player needed for a specific tactical situation, Ferguson is unlikely to spend a lot of money to sign players in this position.

Milan means something similar.

Costacurta has his flaws, but who can you buy to consistently improve upon him?

Scratch-off lottery tickets are a sure way to boost a player's performance; not only are transfer fees high, but salaries are also substantial.

Even wealthy families wouldn't spend a fortune for such a small improvement.

Seeing that there was nothing new about Ferguson.

The reporters looked at Sacchi.

"Mr. Sacchi, Van Basten and Baresi will both retire at the end of the season. Will you make targeted reinforcements?"

the reporter asked.

Sacchi nodded and said, "Their retirement is a major loss for the team, and Milan will certainly strengthen the squad. In fact, we already have some targets in mind. However, if you ask for a specific list, I will not tell you, as that would put our transfer work in jeopardy."

The reporters cursed inwardly.

This shut them up immediately.

The focus is on AC Milan's player recruitment, since with top players retiring, it's impossible not to make signings.

"Could you tell me whether the players you follow are Italian or from other countries?"

the reporter asked.

"No comment."

Saki said expressionlessly.

What are you thinking?

If we define a range for them, then almost all the possible candidates will emerge.

The newspapers are hyping it up, so the seller will definitely want a higher price.

Sacchi was not about to fall for this and create more news for the reporters.

"Can you tell me the key to winning today's game, Arigo?"

the reporter asked.

Sacchi finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "Our victory over Manchester United in this match was mainly due to the players' tactical execution and individual ability. Yes, I'm talking about Dejan. I usually say we don't rely too much on Dejan because the opponents aren't strong enough. Against a team of Manchester United's caliber, Dejan is the most crucial player. Over 12,000 meters of running distance, 80 touches, 77 successful passes, 4 key passes, 7 successful aerial duels, 7 successful dribbles, 4 interceptions, 6 successful tackles... No one can find fault with these statistics."

The reporters nodded in agreement.

Lu Deyang dribbled past fewer players than usual today because he was more involved in defense.

Even so, seven successful dribbles in a single game is still top-tier statistic for a winger. From the start of the run to the passing or shooting, that counts as one dribble, not just getting past a player.

The number of times you successfully dribble past an opponent is approximately 20.

So after the match, some people felt something was off. Some players had put on a great solo run, but only managed to dribble past their opponents two or three times.

"Mr. Sacchi, will you be fighting for the winning streak record again next season?"

one reporter asked.

This is also a concern for fans.

"No!" Sacchi said decisively. "I will make significant rotations in some less important matches. Winning streaks don't mean much to us. We've already made history by winning four titles with a perfect record. It's more important to let the players let go of the burden of records, rather than putting more pressure on them."

In other words, Sacchi is prepared to lose in the Italian Cup or against mid-to-lower table teams.

It's already quite an achievement that Milan has managed to hold on until now.

If you keep trying to break records, you're likely to encounter major setbacks at the start of the next season.

If he had any other options, he would have given money to other teams to target Milan's reserve squad.

It was pure luck that we didn't lose a game this season; the players gritted their teeth and persevered to secure victory on numerous occasions.

The league already has a margin for error, and next season there will be the European Super Cup and the Toyota Cup. It would be crazy not to use the league and the Italian Cup for rotation.

If they played like that, the players would all rebel.

Half the team was injured at the end of the season, and the whole team was at home recovering from injuries during the World Cup.

Not even Saddam Hussein could bear this responsibility, let alone Saki.

"Mr. Sacchi, after Baresi retires, who will receive the captain's armband, Maldini or Dejan?"

one reporter asked.

Saki glanced at him; the question seemed provocative.

However, Sacchi still said, "We haven't discussed this matter yet. There will be a vote in the locker room during the warm-up matches. Asking me won't help. AC Milan is a very democratic team. The captain is chosen entirely by the players' votes."

He silently added in his mind, unless the outcome is truly unacceptable.

This situation is extremely unlikely to occur.

Only players with strong leadership skills will gain the support of the locker room.

That's why Sacchi was willing to delegate authority in this regard.

If the most popular guy in the locker room was a playboy, he certainly wouldn't let the players vote.

Seeing that neither team's coach had given any major news, the reporters finally turned their attention to the players.

"Peter, can you tell me which opponent impressed you the most today?"

the reporter asked.

Schmeichel said, "Of course it's Dejan, there's no question about it."

"Okay, Dejan is excellent, but compared to his time at Manchester United, has he improved or regressed?"

The reporter pressed for an answer.

His desire to be in the headlines was obvious.

Ferguson's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Schmeichel with some concern.

Or, Peter, why don't you tell us more about your dad being a spy?

Despite Ferguson's vengeful nature, he also knew that Lu Deyang was not a magnanimous person either.

Schmeichel really offended Lu Deyang by talking nonsense; their next meeting will be a fight to the death.

The reporter's questions also contained pitfalls.

After a brief silence, Schmeichel said, "Because of the tactical arrangements, it's hard for me to judge whether Dejan's level has improved, but he was still the best player today, without a doubt. Every time I saw him with the ball, I got very nervous."

Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Did Dejan's appearance affect your performance?" the reporter pressed, unwilling to give up.

Schmeichel nodded and said, "Any goalkeeper would feel nervous when they see Dejan with the ball, it's not a problem."

"Deyang, someone saw the princess go to the hospital. Is she pregnant?"

The reporter suddenly asked.

Lu Deyang: ...

There's really no escaping this problem.

We can't keep avoiding it, and we can't lie to people anymore.

Lu Deyang nodded directly and said, "That's right, I will soon be welcoming my child."

boom--

The press conference room has finally become what it should be.

It looks like a wet market.

What did they hear?
This is truly huge news.

There were four people sitting on the stage, and three of them looked at Lu Deyang in surprise.

Lu Deyang shrugged.

It's not like it's anything shameful.

I wonder if the old lady will give the baby a full moon gift, a longevity lock would be fine too, a gold one doesn't cost much.

The two children are one month apart.

Lu Deyang felt that he should first educate his Milan teammates about the customs of a full moon celebration in China, and then Lu the King of Football should hold two more full moon celebrations to receive some gifts.

You can't say you don't care about money just because you have it; you have to find ways to make money when you're spending it.

"Deyang, have you thought of a name for the baby?"

"Deyang, what will the child's surname be?"

"Will the child have the surname Spencer, Dejan?"

In which country will this child be baptized?

"..."

The reporters started asking questions like crazy.

Lu Deyang was not in a hurry.

Once the room quieted down, he held up one finger and said, "I'll only answer one question: my child will naturally have the surname Lu, but I haven't decided on a name yet."

After saying that, Lu Deyang stood up.

Baptism?

This is also a key issue.

Britain is a Protestant country.

Lu Deyang wanted to say that children have freedom of religion, but this approach doesn't work in Europe.

I need to discuss it with the Princess later.

After shaking hands with Ferguson and Schmeichel, Lu Deyang left with Sacchi.

Even if they don't leave, the issues that follow will all be about the children.

Lu Deyang really didn't want his child to become the focus of attention before the child was even born, but he couldn't just deny it when asked.

I'm going to be busy for a while now.

After Beckham's eldest son and youngest daughter were born, The Sun offered a reward for a photo of their faces.

The children of the King and Queen will only receive more attention.

A single photograph can fetch hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds; it would drive even ordinary people crazy, let alone paparazzi.

Moreover, there's absolutely no way to ban this.

Even if the other party is wandering around with a camera, as long as they don't actually take pictures of minors, they are not breaking the law.

Lu Deyang was even considering whether or not to let them return to China to give birth.

The British way of doing things won't work in the country.

Back in the locker room, Lu Deyang, being cautious, walked behind Saki.

Sure enough, Sacchi was sprayed with champagne as soon as he opened the door.

"Champions! Champions! We are the champions!"

The Milan players jumped and cheered.

It was as if he was venting all the pressure he had endured throughout the season.

It cannot be ruled out that someone wants to retaliate against Saki.

But even Sacchi couldn't do anything about such a life.

Lu Deyang quickly sat back down to change his clothes, lest he become the target of these bastards.

But Maldini quickly grabbed a bottle of champagne and sprayed it all over Lu Deyang, soaking his pants.

“I’ll remember you, Paul.”

Lu Deyang pointed to his eyes and said.

Paul Ma has been acting a bit too arrogant lately; we need to teach him a lesson.

"You're not going to be a sore loser, are you, Dejan?"

Maldini made a face and mocked.

Lu Deyang didn't say anything more, but simply gave a thumbs up.

You don't criticize me when I don't change my clothes, but you start criticizing me as soon as I take out my casual clothes and change into them. This is intentional.

Lu Deyang didn't care that his clothes were wet; he'd just wear them like that, since he'd be home soon anyway.

"We're drinking until we drop tonight, and the club's on the bill!"

"Tardelli shouted."

Lu Deyang: ...

Everyone has forgotten about this.

No wonder Paul Ma was so deliberate.

Damn, this is to let Lu Qiuwang try on clothes for the victory celebration banquet.

I never expected Paul Ma to have a brain.

Oh shit.

If it weren't for Lu Qiuwang's principles...

They'll arrange for someone to get close to you at a sponsor's event, and have someone take some photos of you from a distance, just to see if Adriana will crush you.

Arrive at the hotel.

Lu Deyang then pulled Adriana along and held the eldest son while the reporters took a few pictures.

“You’re not going to be a sore loser, Paul. Christian is my godson,” Lu Deyang asked.

"how could be?"

Maldini said in a muffled voice.

Angry!
Lu Deyang grinned.

It's okay to get angry.

Otherwise, the title of "King of Land Balls" would have been for nothing.

Monica punched Lu Qiuwang from the side.

Lu Deyang smiled but didn't say anything.

"Deyang, do you have any vacation plans?"

Wiljoward took the initiative to come over and ask.

"What, want to play with me?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"Yes, mainly because Paul is always thinking about the new Soviet Union, so I want him to experience the hardship of labor, and if possible, to see Russia, so he won't always be just daydreaming."

"Village Joward said."

“It is indeed necessary,” Lu Deyang nodded and said, “Young people always think of everything as too beautiful and are easily influenced by others. Only by truly experiencing it can they gain a deeper understanding.”

"That's why I wanted to ask you, since I don't know what the Soviet Union, no, Russia, is like."

"Village Joward said."

His father fled to Europe a long time ago, and he was just a mixed-race child.

I had never been to the Soviet Union; my impressions of that country came entirely from the media.

“I’m not interested in traveling there, but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any safety issues there, it’s similar to Europe.”

Lu Deyang said.

A European passport is still quite useful in Russia at this stage.

There will definitely be some unrest, but it won't be life-threatening.

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Totti came up and asked Lu Deyang about his holiday plans.

Lu Deyang had really thought it through. With two pregnant women in the family, his girlfriend would naturally take the lead.

Would you mind if I spoke with Dejan?

Galliani came up with a wine glass and asked.

Totti promptly gave up his position.

"Dejan, what are the requirements for the new contract? Your previous contract no longer reflects your contributions to the club. After a perfect season, you should receive a higher salary," Galliani asked with a smile.

He's made a fortune recently by buying so many Adidas shares.

For Lu Deyang, keeping him tied to the Milan and Adidas juggernaut is the most important thing.

"You and Monica can discuss this further; I won't get involved."

Lu Deyang said with a smile, "Actually, I don't care much about my salary because I have plenty of money and it's enough for me. But in football, you have to get a contract that matches your status."

Galliani nodded.

That's the situation; Milan is also afraid that Real Madrid or other teams will offer better terms.

He plans to include a clause in Lu Deyang's new contract that would set him at the highest salary in the world, meaning that no matter which player signs a higher-paying contract, Lu Deyang's contract will automatically increase to one dollar higher per year.

Such contracts are usually the team's highest-paying clauses, and even these highest-paying clauses are not very common in football these days.

Galliani really went to great lengths to please Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang has his own side business, which he is doing very well.

Rather than asking for a salary, it's more accurate to say that the salary is meant to reflect Lu Deyang's status in the football world.

Otherwise, why would the media constantly compare Messi and Ronaldo's salaries?

Fans are always praising Saudi Arabia for being willing to give him 8 million and you 10 billion, and that's the key point.

Salary reflects the level of recognition you receive from fans, the team, and the market.

Unless you truly don't care about these aspects and are willing to play football for free like Valerón, finding joy on the green field.

Otherwise, every player should have a contract that matches their performance.

I also talked with Galliani about the arrangements for the championship parade.

Lu Deyang and the other two left the celebration banquet ahead of time.

After all, it's more important for the princess and Monica to rest.

Even so, it was already past midnight when I got home.

Just as Lu Deyang was washing up and getting ready for bed, he heard a message notification on his phone.

He glanced at the message and immediately perked up.

Lu Deyang smiled and said to the princess, "It seems our holiday is already planned. Next, we will witness history and see the British slink away with their tails between their legs..."
