Enzo said somewhat embarrassedly, "I used to lie to him that I liked to eat dried shrimp and shrimp heads because we didn't have that much money at home. I didn't expect that this kid still hasn't figured it out. Sometimes I even wonder if his mother drank too much alcohol when she was pregnant."

Lu Deyang couldn't help but chuckle.

Totti comes from a relatively well-off family.

That's why they say it's similar to China.

Having experienced war, they are reluctant to spend money, and even if they have money, they will save it for investment.

However, Italians' investments are relatively simple, almost entirely in government bonds and real estate.

"How was I supposed to know you didn't like dried shrimp? I thought you were some kind of weirdo," Totti muttered.

People like to eat poop, so what's wrong with you liking to eat dried shrimp?

Enzo almost couldn't hold back and physically disciplined his son.

However, Lu Deyang was speechless at this kind of old-fashioned parent who insisted on making things difficult for no one.

Is there a big difference between a middle-class family buying one pound and two pounds of shrimp? Does buying an extra pound mean they'll default on their mortgage tomorrow? Parents insist on eating the shrimp shells and heads to feel self-righteous.

Seafood in Italy is also inexpensive.

Old Enzo simply ignored his son and said, "I came to Milan to scout players for the club and also to thank you. Francisco isn't very bright; it would be a real worry if no one took care of him."

He had been coaching the Roma youth team for a while, but it wasn't as comfortable as being a scout, so he went back to being a scout.

"Francisco is a smart man, but he just focuses more on the field."

Lu Deyang said with a smile, "There are very few players in Italy as smart as him; it's innate."

“That’s like me,” old Enzo said with a smile.

Lu Deyang: ...

She didn't even want to acknowledge her son just now.

However, the middle-aged man with no hair in the front has eyebrows and eyes that look very similar to Totti's, so they are obviously father and son.

Enzo himself might have been a handsome young man in his youth.

Europeans and Americans don't have a very long shelf life.

Men are easier to deal with.

Many female celebrities look quite frightening as they age, making it difficult to see their former beauty.

Looking at it this way, the Italian players are actually doing quite well; the group from the 2006 World Cup have all maintained good form after retiring.

"Deyan, there's still one thing I need to ask of you."

Old Enzo wiped his mouth with a napkin with his chubby hands and then spoke.

“No need to be so polite with me, Francisco is like my brother,” Lu Deyang said, shaking Totti’s shoulder.

Enzo laughed, but still said seriously, "We're not around, so it's fine if he has girlfriends, but if he wants to marry someone, you have to help him vet them and make sure he doesn't become the next Marco Lanna."

Lu Deyang almost couldn't help but laugh.

Almost 10 years have passed, and Lanna is still a symbol of shame for Italian men.

It will be passed down from generation to generation by the parents.

"Don't worry, and Francisco himself is very careful about this."

Lu Deyang said.

In fact, Lu Deyang doesn't really approve of Totti dating a highly educated girlfriend.

Universities are intellectually vibrant, especially humanities departments.

Both domestically and internationally, these are pretty much the same; they're both gathering places for boxing.

Women's boxing has recently experienced a resurgence in Europe, so the probability of finding a recent graduate who knows how to box is not low.

High IQ, selfish, self-centered, extreme, and materialistic—in front of a woman like this, 98% of football stars probably wouldn't be able to protect their assets.

You can't start being on guard before you're even married, otherwise what's the point of getting married?

For a player like Baggio, having a beautiful childhood sweetheart is probably the best outcome.

Enzo handed Lu Deyang a box after he agreed.

"A watch? I really don't need one."

Lu Deyang, somewhat helplessly, waved his left hand and said, "I have many watches. Given my relationship with Francisco, it's inappropriate for you to give me an expensive gift."

"No, it's jade, and I've heard it's quite good."

Old Enzo said, "I bought this when I traveled to Asia."

Oh shit!

The gift that Lu Deyang hates the most.

This thing is completely worthless to him, and Europeans are probably scammed when they buy jade.

However, given Enzo's spending habits, it's estimated to be only a few hundred dollars at most. Lu Qiu Wang should still accept the favor.

Lu Deyang reached out and took the box, then opened it.

Fortunately, Old Enzo didn't use terms like "ice jade" or "imperial green," otherwise Lu Deyang would never have accepted it.

He really couldn't tell the difference between these things unless they were exceptionally good.

I've received some gifts from my elders since I was little, and they all seem pretty much the same.

"Very nice, very beautiful!"

Lu Deyang said after taking it apart.

"As long as you like it."

Old Enzo said with a smile.

Totti pursed his lips on the side.

He knew very well that Lu Deyang was just giving him the runaround.

Having spent a lot of time together, he understood Lu Deyang quite well.

This made him feel a little embarrassed, and he needed Lu Deyang to coax his father.

After setting down his glass, old Enzo asked in a low voice, "There's something I've always wanted to ask. I heard that you attracted the princess by juggling that ball. Is that true?"

puff……

Totti sprayed a mouthful of juice directly onto Enzo's face.

Lu Deyang was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

What kind of urban legend is this?

"You should go back to the hotel right away, you're drunk!"

Totti stood up and said with disdain.

If this continues, we'll lose all face.

"You silly child, I haven't eaten properly yet," old Enzo complained, but still got up and followed him.

Lu Deyang glanced at the bill, then took out a few banknotes and placed them under the cup.

After leaving the restaurant, Lu Deyang said, "You take your father back to the hotel, Francisco. I'm going straight home."

"Ah."

Totti nodded.

He and old Enzo had a pretty good relationship.

I just feel a bit embarrassed today.

Lu Deyang didn't think much of it; he thought the father and son were quite interesting.

Lu Deyang has never liked families with strict fathers, especially those who scold their children for everything. He believes it's better to be friends with the children.

When Lu Qiuwang's kids are a little older, I'll play CS with them and try to get them proficient in Dust2 before they start elementary school. Maybe I can train a Donk like that.

Lu Deyang never objects to his children playing video games; he even agrees to them playing professionally.

But if you don't have the talent for this, there's nothing you can do.

He's really talented at playing games and he'll dominate. It makes his dad proud. But don't let him go through all that trouble to get into the world championship, only to have his fans swim back home after a few games.

When he got home, he found that the princess and Monica were already asleep, so Lu Deyang went to the study.

I wonder what materials are needed for prenatal education to cultivate a gaming genius.

There weren't many games available at that time.

I couldn't sleep, so I drew a rough 3D dragon chapter to soften up "The Phantom of Baker Street," hoping to reap another wave of profits worldwide next year.

After putting down his paintbrush, Lu Deyang felt that his theatrical versions in recent years had become too didactic.

Let's put this aside for now. Next summer is the World Cup, and it would be a crime not to capitalize on that hype.

Then, from comics to animation, from burger shops to the King of Land himself, there will be a super-duper dream collaboration, reaping huge profits from fans all over the world.

While packing up his art supplies, Lu Deyang remembered something.

Galliani asked him to provide a list of potential signings.

Whether it's Sampdoria, Manchester United, or AC Milan, the club's management always hopes he can be involved in the transfer process.

However, Lu Deyang really didn't have a good candidate.

Manchester United still has a chance to strengthen their squad.

But Milan... Milan at this time was too tough.

Why don't we just poach Cafu sooner?

Milan can only make signings for center-back, right-back, and defensive midfield. Finding a defensive midfielder stronger than Albertini and better suited to Milan won't be easy.

As for Ambrosini, he wasn't a key player.

In a few years, when Pirlo takes over, we can find him a better partner than Ambrosini.

Ambrosini's level isn't low, but it's not high either. It's quite surprising that he was able to play for Milan for so many years.

It's hard to say what kind of reinforcements can be made if Nesta can't be found at center-back, especially since Stam has already been bought and he and Welchoward have a good partnership.

There are also opportunities to bring in a right-back.

If the foreign player is to be a level above Reiziger, then it can be said that the signing is not a waste.

Sagnol is also a good option; he could be the first to poach the Bavarian giants' players.

As for domestic players, Lu Deyang actually remembered Camoranesi. He was clearly Argentinian, but he had an Italian passport and didn't need any foreign player quota.

Moreover, he provided a great boost to Italy's flanks; otherwise, Italy wouldn't have had any decent flanks during that period, with strikers and shadow strikers filling in.

Once he makes a name for himself in Argentina, I suggest Milan buy him.

At this point, Lu Deyang didn't even know which team he was playing for.

I'll discuss it with Galliani later, and it'll be Cafu for Palmeiras.

After getting up in the morning, Lu Deyang prepared breakfast and then took out the newspaper.

Gazzetta dello Sport: "Leonardo has arrived!"

This traitor who later took over Inter Milan is still a decent attacking midfielder.

He was brought in from PSG, so he later went to PSG to become a director.

As far as Lu Deyang knows, the team is still in talks with Bayern Munich about Zieg's transfer, and Milan's summer reinforcement efforts have not stopped.

The Gazzetta dello Sport featured Parma's signings on page three: Thuram and Crespo! The two together cost $16 million, more than Arsenal spent on those nine players.

Italian Serie A teams are indeed making some crazy signings at this time, and their strength is guaranteed.

These two names alone form almost a central axis; thankfully, young Buffon was lured away by Lu Qiuwang early on.

If I remember correctly, Buffon transferred to Parma that year, and it cost him $1500 million, breaking the record for goalkeeper transfers.

His subsequent move to Juventus was also a goalkeeper transfer.

Young Buffon is the kind of prodigy whose talent was obvious from a young age; scouts would immediately call and urge the team to sign him.

However, even without Buffon, Parma's strength is not bad, as they already have stars like Cannavaro.

Lu Deyang's former club Sampdoria brought in Laurent Platini, the son of Michel Platini, which was ridiculed by Tuttosport.

They wrote: "Mantovani Jr. has made a mess of Sampdoria, but he thinks he's great. This second-generation club president wants to bring in another second-generation player to help Sampdoria get back to its former glory. But we're pretty sure Laurent doesn't have the talent of his father Michel, just as Mantovani Jr. isn't as good as Paolo Mantovani."

Many people don't know that Platini Jr. played football.

The main problem is that there's nothing particularly noteworthy about his career.

After reading the newspaper, Lu Deyang was still marveling at the madness of the Italian teams.

Spanish clubs also made significant signings during this period, often involving transactions worth tens of millions of dollars, not just the two La Liga giants.

Teams like Valencia and Atletico Madrid have not given up on the title race, with Atletico Madrid spending $1650 million to acquire Vieri.

In addition, there's Dortmund in the Bundesliga, who are going all in.

The Premier League actually spends the least on player acquisitions, with many deals involving millions of pounds.

Just when teams all over the world were busy making signings.

AC Milan have signed Zieger and have stated that the transfer window is now closed.

This means that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Milan will not make any further signings in the ten days or so leading up to the transfer window closing.

Sács' performance in the summer preseason games may also be the source of his strength.

On August 23, Milan finally played their first match of the new season, a single-leg Italian Super Cup, against Juventus, the second-placed team in last season's league.

The fact that it was such a fierce battle before the start of the league clearly satisfied the fans.

Unfortunately, this match is at the Stadio delle Alpi, so even if Milan wins, they won't be able to clinch the title at home.

Inside the away game's locker room.

Maldini, who had just sat down, complained: "Torino's away dressing room is really run-down. It looks like it was when I was promoted to the first team."

Teams don't really build away game locker rooms, since they're mainly for the opposing team.

But it's rare to see a stadium as dilapidated as the Stade de la Alpi.

“Paul, Captain, Paul…” Lu Deyang joked, “If you want a better environment, you’ll probably have to go to a hotel. The away game locker room isn’t an entertainment venue.”

"Damn it, how dare you say that."

Maldini glared at Lu Deyang and shouted, "You and Billy, you two bastards, lied to Filippo. I almost caused a family crisis because I came home too late."

"Who told you to like wandering around like that?"

Lu Deyang waved his hand and said.

Inzaghi sat on the sidelines watching the spectacle with great interest.

That was the day he and Costacucu tricked Maldini into going out.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you, Billy."

Maldini roared.

Costacurta scoffed, "You can't beat Dejan, so you're coming after me, the easy target, right? Paul, you know nothing about the power of science."

Maldini rolled his eyes in annoyance.

If this continues, he might become a villain.

"Did you guys have a good time this summer?"

Lu Deyang asked.

Some players had national team duties, so they only returned to their teams now.

Needless to say, their physical condition at this point was...

Without systematic physical conditioning during the summer, players not only can't run, but they also haven't fully shaken off the post-holiday syndrome.

Reiziger said, "My girlfriend and I went to Florida, and all I can say is that America isn't as good as we thought. It's alright, but not much better than Italy."

"Indeed it is."

Marco Simone, who had also just returned from the United States, nodded in agreement.

He thought America was a land of gold, and that everyone was a pioneer of civilization.

I went on a trip and, if I don't say the filter is shattered, then it's pretty much over.

Before long, they started urging Lu Deyang to talk about his vacation experience.

"have nothing to say."

Lu Deyang waved his hand and said, "I've been participating in and organizing events."

After he finished speaking, he chose to participate in the lottery.

[Your good brother Paolo Maldini may seem serious, but he's actually a very gentle person. So, draw a player who looks mild-mannered but isn't actually very good-natured. Ding! You've obtained a 2001-2002 Italian Super Cup match between Roma and Fiorentina, a single-match trial card featuring Francesco Totti.]

I am Cao!

Lu Deyang hadn't been this speechless in a long time.

I often draw my current teammates.

The Little Prince is undeniably capable, but he also has a rather bad temper.

It's quite interesting to be able to team up with Totti today.

The two Tottis were somewhat bullying.

"Everyone has changed their clothes, so let's get ready to go out and warm up."

Maldini cautioned, "We are still undefeated, and the most important question for us now is whether we can carry over last season's record to this season."

Saki licked his teeth with his tongue as soon as he opened the door.

Oh shit.

He wished Milan would just break the record with a single game, but he never expected Maldini to say something like that.

This makes it even more difficult to handle.

Continuing to pursue a perfect record will be very tiring.

"You guys continue talking, Deyang, come here for a moment."

Saki waved and said.

"Coach, you wanted to see me?"

Lu Deyang jogged to the door and asked.

"I forgot to invite you to the press conference."

Sacchira explained to Dejan, "It just so happens that Lippi is an old acquaintance of yours, so we can go and take a look at the sausages."

Want to take a look?
Let's watch the show.
