If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 329 Enzo's Pica (Please Subscribe)

PSV Eindhoven players?

If Basten has his eye on someone, it's Stam, no doubt.

During that period, Stam was truly the only top-tier center-back in the Dutch league, and before that, it was Koeman's generation.

Actually, the de Boer brothers are also a good choice. They are all in their prime and are not only highly skilled but also versatile players. It's just that it will be a bit difficult to buy them.

As for the other players born in the 70s, it seems that the Netherlands doesn't really have many decent center-backs.

The Netherlands doesn't have a very deep reserve of defenders.

Usually, there are only a few outstanding defenders in a given period. It's considered lucky to be able to field two capable center-backs and one substitute, since there aren't as many attacking options available.

From this time onwards, Dutch strikers will emerge in droves.

The last highlight was the striker Huntelaar, who averaged a goal per game. However, he struggled to adapt at Real Madrid, and Ajax never produced any decent strikers after that. After that Champions League semi-final team disbanded, Ajax's financial statements might not have looked so good if it weren't for Fujiko F. Fujio saving them.

The Dutch players after the "Three Musketeers" era have somewhat fallen short of expectations.

However, Dutch players were still quite useful at this time, and Cruyff's dynasty was almost entirely supported by his fellow countrymen.

Moreover, the price is not high, similar to the professor's France travel guide.

Good quality and low price.

Take Koeman, who just retired, for example. A defender scored 67 goals in five years at Barcelona, ​​which is ridiculous. That's less than one goal every three games on average. That's more efficient than most strikers. During his time at PSV Eindhoven, he scored less than one goal every two games.

These Dutchmen don't seem too strong, mainly because their teammates from the same period, the Three Musketeers, are too dazzling.

Some say that the Dutch team in the 80s consisted of the Three Musketeers.

But the Three Musketeers' teammates are really very strong.

Each one of them is top-notch.

It's no wonder Dutch fans always lament the bad luck of the "uncrowned kings." Just looking at the squad, the star-studded Dutch team was qualified to win the World Cup in several periods.

Even Reiziger, a fringe player for the Dutch national team, is playing quite well for Milan. His limited playing time is due to the foreign player quota rather than a lack of ability. If he were Italian, he could basically succeed Panucci.

Since it's Stam, Lu Deyang will naturally agree on behalf of the club.

This is no ordinary defender; he deserves at least a place on Milan's foreign player roster.

Before hanging up the phone, Basten was still asking Lu Deyang if he wanted to invest with him.

Startled, Lu Deyang quickly hung up the phone.

Has this guy gotten so rich that he's lost his mind and thinks Van Basten and Buffett are related?

Even for Buffett, the rate of return on investment is not extraordinary.

If you're making a huge investment and expecting several times the return, who are you going to make money off of?
Every year in China, CS:GO items are hyped up. Stickers that cost a few cents to stick on guns are sold for thousands of dollars, and in the end, it's the last person left holding the bag. This cycle repeats itself every year.

That's how finance works. Value doesn't come out of thin air; it's a game of musical chairs where the last fool to enter pays the price.

It's almost a financial crisis, and they're still teaching Lu Qiuwang how to trade stocks.

Lu Deyang has been holding back the listing of Monica Burgers, just to avoid this matter.

It can only be said that sometimes making money too easily can make people lose sight of themselves.

Let alone Basten, even a master's graduate in finance can't guarantee a sure profit.

Therefore, Lu Deyang prefers the real economy to finance.

Having means of production means you can always create value.

It's no joke to say he's doing business with Totti.

Unfortunately, the little prince is terrible at naming things, and Lu Deyang is even considering having him find a fortune teller to name him.

……

Milan's preseason training camp was simply scheduled in the Apennines.

There are no plans to travel to other countries.

"Dejan, what's fun to do in Milan?" Inzaghi asked, leaning closer.

He was much more lively than when we first met.

Lu Deyang: ...

When you say "fun," are you referring specifically to people?
Milan doesn't really have any particularly famous socialites.

Wealthy Italians wouldn't let their children go astray like Paris Hilton.

This country is so similar to China in every aspect; even the wealthy people act like high-class, aristocratic families.

Milan is most famous for its supermodels who walk the runway every season.

Lu Deyang, who was changing his sneakers, said with a smile, "If you want to go to a nightclub, you can look for Paul. He still goes out partying a lot after he got married."

"Hey, it's not good to talk bad about others behind their backs."

Costacurta, who had just entered the locker room, said, "But I can vouch for Dejan. That Paolo Maldini guy is a real womanizer. You've probably never seen him like that in a nightclub."

Inzaghi's eyes lit up.

I never knew Maldini had this hobby.

He had already imagined a dramatic scenario where the player had close ties with the gang, and the gang helped introduce him to beautiful girls.

That's why no one discovered it; those who did were all corpses.

Lu Deyang suppressed a laugh.

It's rare to see someone like Maldini drinking water in a nightclub.

Even after knowing him for so many years, Lu Deyang still couldn't figure out what that guy was doing at the nightclub.

Are they preparing to become square dancers? Are they really going to dance at nightclubs?

Isn't this the same as going to a karaoke bar specifically to sing? It's putting the cart before the horse.

The girls are so eager to touch you, they feel uneasy taking your money.

Seeing that there were few teammates around, Costacurta said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, Paul is a weirdo. If you invite him out and he refuses, it means he doesn't really mean it. He's like a woman, saying one thing but meaning another."

Lu Deyang pretended not to hear.

It feels like Billy is going to screw over Maldini again.

He truly is a good brother.

"So Paul rejected me, so I dragged him along to play, right?" Inzaghi asked.

Costacurta gave a thumbs up, ready to do this with Inzaghi.

Since Adriana was angry, she could shift the blame to the newcomer.

The two of them had already discussed where to go later.

Young people love excitement and women, and that kind of place can satisfy all of that.

"Where are your henchmen, Deyang?"

"I can't believe it," Costacurta asked curiously.

“What followers? They’re all my friends,” Lu Deyang explained. “Fernando has been doing yoga at home before training lately. As for Francisco and Gigi, I don’t know. All sorts of things always happen to those two.”

Costacurta nodded.

Those two young men are no pushovers.

After changing their clothes, the three of them went to the training ground together.

Without Baresi, the three of them were the first to arrive.

After Lu Deyang had been stretching for ten minutes, Baggio had already changed his clothes and walked over.

Lu Deyang has a good eye; this guy washed his hair again.

Baggio washes his hair frequently.

This is a sign of good hygiene.

But anyone who has ever braided their hair knows that washing it is a hassle.

If it were Lu Deyang, he wouldn't have been able to persevere.

Baggio actually grew a braid for his child.

Athletes can't go without washing their hair all the time; the smell is unbearable.

If it were Lu Deyang, he wouldn't have kept a queue; it's too much trouble.

It's estimated that Baggio has to get up half an hour earlier every day to wash and blow-dry his hair, and then have his wife braid it for him.

It's funny to think about.

This habit would seem abnormal if it weren't for Baggio.

“I have a feeling you’re thinking something very rude,” Baggio said as he walked up.

"How can it be."

Lu Deyang chuckled dryly and said, "You're really rude, not even greeting your new teammates. Filippo even said you were his 60th favorite player."

Upon hearing this, Inzaghi and Baggio both froze on the spot.

It wasn't a commonly used Italian sentence structure, and Baggio immediately punched Lu Deyang in an annoyed tone after realizing it.

Inzaghi's eyes were constantly darting around; the child seemed quite clever.

As teammates arrived one after another, the training ground instantly turned into a tea party.

The intensity of the first day or two of preseason training is very low, mainly to help the players get back into the swing of things and get used to working life.

Next comes new tactics and physical conditioning; players who are underweight or in poor physical condition will have specific training plans.

The morning passed by with hardly anything done.

During lunch, Totti put down his plate and said mysteriously, "Dejan, I think I have a clue about the Platini treasure."

"Platini?"

"No, Mussolini."

Totti said somewhat awkwardly, "After all, I'm a player, so it's normal to make mistakes subconsciously."

Lu Deyang looked at Buffon.

Buffon shrugged and explained, "This guy found a very strange notebook at the flea market, which was full of exploration records about a peak in the Alps."

"Mount Adammoro?"

Lu Deyang asked, somewhat surprised.

Buffon nodded.

Redondo, who was standing nearby, also became interested.

In 1943, Hitler sent a shipment of gold and jewels to Mussolini, but the plane crashed on the Adamameiro peak in the Alps.

The search only found the pilot's remains and the wreckage of the plane; there was no trace of the escort team or the gold, artifacts, or other valuables they were carrying. It is said that they hid them in a secluded location nearby.

This is also one of the treasures favored by European explorers.

Naz left behind various mysteries throughout Europe.

Of the so-called great treasures of Europe, nine out of ten are related to the Germans.

After all, they had plundered extensively, and before their defeat, they would certainly have saved some to use in the revival of the Third Reich.

Some were intercepted or destroyed by Allied forces during transport.

There are a considerable number of documented Nazi treasures.

Rumors circulate that there are countless Naz treasures in Austria, Switzerland, Africa, and the United States, and it's unknown how much the mustachioed man has plundered.

However, Switzerland probably has them; those bastards have done a lot of double-crossing.

The main feature is that you can store but not withdraw.

Totti said from the side, "That notebook records six treasure hunts, it can't be fake, can it?"

"Maybe he's a treasure hunter."

Lu Deyang said nonchalantly.

Europe has many treasure hunters.

This isn't a common profession, but the sheer size of the population makes it undeniable.

Lu Deyang has never been interested in treasure hunting.

Smaller treasures are worth only tens or hundreds of millions, and even taking them out and moving them away would be difficult.

After spending so much time and money, even if you make tens of millions of dollars, it's not worth it. You might as well go to Japan and make a quick buck.

The topic of treasure hunting came up during the dinner table.

Lu Deyang was not disappointed.

Just look at the success of Indiana Jones.

The anticipation and excitement of getting rich overnight without working still make this topic very popular.

While the group was chatting, Inzaghi leaned over and said, "Treasure hunting, I've always loved that kind of theme. I sometimes create things during my holidays."

"Me too, but I don't write very well."

Redondo said with a smile.

"Are you interested in fishing? I'm very good at it."

Inzaghi asked again.

Several people shook their heads repeatedly.

This disappointed Inzaghi.

"Fishing is a lot of fun. It takes time to prepare and patience to wait for the catch. You can think a lot during this time. And the joy of the catch is unimaginable."

Inzaghi is still trying to promote his preferences.

Unfortunately, both Heng and Ha were impatient.

Patient Redondos can't appreciate the joy of fishing; they feel like they're just wasting their time.

Even Lu Deyang, known for his enthusiastic support, found it difficult to agree with Inzaghi.

You know, fishing can easily lead to mosquito bites, and Lu Deyang didn't want to come home covered in bites every time.

Seeing that some people weren't interested, Inzaghi went to chat with the other teammates again.

"The new guy is very energetic; it's rare to see young people like this," Totti said quietly.

“You are a young man, he is a few years older than you.”

Buffon said irritably.

He really couldn't stand Totti's condescending tone.

"But I have a more mature mindset."

Totti shrugged and said, "That guy doesn't seem very reliable. Do you believe I'll get married before him?"

Buffon did not refute this.

Having shared an apartment with Totti for so long, he has a good understanding of Totti's views on love and family.

Despite his good looks and popularity, Totti doesn't actually do much promiscuity.

The afternoon training consisted of simple recovery exercises.

The players then went home.

Lu Deyang did want to organize a get-together.

However, some teammates are overweight, so it's not appropriate to have them eat and drink together at this time. Therefore, we will wait for the time being.

When Lu Deyang got home, he saw Monica and the princess busy in the kitchen.

He went into the kitchen and asked, "What's good to eat today?"

“Someone sent some seafood, let’s wait and eat,” Monica said.

Having been together for so long, she knew Lu Deyang's tastes quite well.

Lu Deyang likes most seafood, but he doesn't like to cook it with too much cream.

Bored, Lu Deyang turned on the TV and saw a transfer news item.

The host sat there and said, "Juventus captain Didier Deschamps transferred to Chelsea for $300 million, and Gullit continued to strengthen the team in the summer. Juventus, on the other hand, was a little lacking in terms of player recruitment..."

What the hell!

Deschamps is gone.

Lu Deyang really hates Deschamps.

It's mainly on the court that he's a tough opponent.

As for personal grudges, Lu Deyang had long forgotten about such a trivial matter after 6 years and 4 months.

Seedorf's transfer from Sampdoria to Real Madrid cost $1100 million, which is not cheap.

That Ajax squad produced quite a few talented players.

That evening, Lu Deyang enjoyed a sumptuous seafood feast.

All I can do is work hard to repay the chef.

The next morning, he finally saw the news about Juventus' transfer.

With Vieri's $1650 million transfer to Atletico Madrid and Inzaghi's departure, Juventus has been busy with striker signings.

Tuttosport wrote: "After wasting the entire month of July, Juventus finally made a move, spending $13 million to bring in Dutch prodigy striker Kluivert."

Kluivert's Serie A journey was not very successful.

However, he played quite well after transferring to Barcelona.

It remains to be seen whether he can perform well at Juventus after this swap deal with Inzaghi.

Lu Deyang clearly remembers that Kluivert played for Milan for one season and scored 6 goals.

This statistic was broken by his national team predecessor, Koeman, a defender who didn't even need to play for half a season.

Therefore, his purge was inevitable.

Despite becoming a regular starter for Ajax early on, Kluivert's career development hasn't been very successful.

Compared to the media's opinion, even Kluivert during his time at Barcelona did not meet the expectations of fans and the media.

Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Ince's news, given that he is a former Inter Milan player.

They wrote: "Liverpool fans are overjoyed at Ince's arrival and even threw him a grand welcome party. Ince's fitness is unknown, but many Kop members already believe that signing Paul Ince is a huge blow to Manchester United. And they can certainly look forward to Ince's performance in the Northwest Derby..."

Ings has been looking for revenge against his former club since leaving Manchester United, but he has not been able to succeed.

This return to the Premier League might be because they can't wait for revenge.

After breakfast, Lu Deyang returned to training with the team, and after the holiday, he resumed his regular life.

On August 9, Milan finally signed Stam for $8 million.

It is said that Eindhoven is very satisfied with the price.

In their first warm-up match against Avellino, Milan won 6-1.

If Bayern Munich were to face such a weak opponent, they would score more than 20 goals against them.

Many merchants have also approached Lu Deyang about endorsement deals.

Lu Deyang's business value has been widely recognized by economic experts in Britain and Italy.

The decline in Premier League value after his departure from Manchester United is the best proof of this.

Until the middle of the month.

When Totti arrived at the team in the morning, he awkwardly invited Lu Deyang.

Later, when they met at a restaurant, Lu Deyang learned that Totti's father had come to town.

"Deyang, thank you very much for taking care of this kid."

After the food was served, Enzo Totti raised his glass and said.

"Don't be so polite, Francisco and I get along very well."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

He's known Totti for quite some time now.

"Then I must thank you."

Enzo Totti remarked with some emotion, "Although I was angry that he left Rome, I'm still very happy to see his growth. This kid has finally shown some responsibility."

"Francisco is an excellent person."

Lu Deyang said again.

"Hurry up and eat, it'll get cold soon," Totti said somewhat awkwardly from the side.

Even though both of them were praising him.

Old Enzo glared at his son and put down his wine glass.

Lu Deyang also started to focus on the food, realizing that he had been eating seafood a lot lately.

When Lu Deyang peeled the shrimp shells and was about to throw them away...

Totti stopped him, saying, "Don't throw it away. My dad likes to eat shrimp shells; he always eats them at home..."
