Chapter 335 Feeding the Ninth Young Master a Pancake (Please Subscribe)

Good guy, really good guy.

Nesta was even a step too slow to react.

Not only was Inzaghi's timing for starting the attack excellent, but Ludjohn's passing timing was also outstanding.

The fact that Milan, with its strength, wanted to buy him made Nesta somewhat excited.

It's not that I want to transfer, but rather that I want to realize my self-worth.

There is a feeling of being recognized.

This was actually the first time he had competed against Lu Deyang.

He was in the youth team when he was young, but he got injured after being promoted to the first team and couldn't play for Milan until today.

As a guard who frequently watches offensive players' videos, he knew very well that Lu Deyang was more than just that.

The positioning he just made is enough for some attacking players to study for a lifetime.

Despite being the starting left winger, he delivered a backheel pass from the right side of the center.

This isn't just about running from the left to the right.

Instead, he first drew Pancaro away, then retreated to take Jugovic away, and finally pretended to coordinate with Redondo while wandering in the middle before receiving Maldini's pass.

Nesta was very excited by such a graceful run.

That feeling of excitement when facing strong opponents, of challenging for the world's number one spot.

Just thinking about it makes me excited!
If Lu Deyang could be marked tightly, he might have helped the team defeat AC Milan today.

Amelia wasn't in such a good mood. He turned to Yugovich, shrugged, and said, "How could we let him get away?"

“He’s not with me, you should ask Pavel.”

"Yugovic said irritably."

Nedved wasn't in his proper position when he made that forward run, so why blame him?
"Okay, it's on me."

Nedved advised.

He's been at Lazio for a while now, and what can I say about that team?

Apart from the locals, they're all mercenaries. Teams that spend a lot of money but never win a championship are all like this.

If you can't win a championship, those players who make a lot of money can easily change their ways.

Whether I play well or tank, I'll be a mid-table player, and it won't affect my earnings. I still have several years left on my contract, so I might as well play it safe.

Some players didn't even realize that their mental state was off, and they started playing without realizing it.

After all, the team atmosphere isn't positive and uplifting, so how can anyone constantly push themselves not to follow the crowd?

Lazio's food tycoon was also unlucky.

He'd been throwing money at the league for years, because at that time, Serie A was incredibly competitive and still in its final, glorious phase.

Even if you throw in over 8000 million, you can only narrow the gap with the big families, let alone become the top dog.

This amount of money is no less than the purchasing power of £100 million later, and even exceeds that of Chelsea at that time. However, there weren't that many strong teams in the Premier League back then. Including the rising Chelsea, there were only the BIG4.

The league environment is different.

Besides AC Milan in the Italian Super League and Real Juventus, the top team in Serie A, there are a lot of clubs that spend big money, such as Inter Milan, Roma, and Parma, and Lazio is just one of them.

Standing out is not easy.

Lazio's squad is absolutely championship-caliber, with only one or two positions having issues. Eriksson hasn't fully unlocked Lazio's potential.

However, the other teams in the Serie A are not weak either, and the internal strife in Serie A is exceptionally severe.

Just like in the Premier League later on, let alone the Seven Sisters, even small teams could beat the big clubs.

In a league like this, it's already quite an achievement to occasionally win a championship or reach the final once. To be as dominant as Milan is extremely difficult.

Lazio and several other strong teams would have performed much better if they had played in Ligue 1 or the Portuguese Primeira Liga; their squads are more luxurious than those of the leaders of smaller leagues.

Lazio players could also sense that their team was quite strong.

But what can you do if your opponent is too strong?
……

Lu Deyang took a look.

To be honest, Milinkovic-Savic's through ball ability is probably not as good as Bruno Fernandes'.

During that period, when discussing threatening balls, you couldn't avoid talking about the so-called Manchester United captain.

However, Milan's game reading ability is far superior to Bruno Fernandes'. He doesn't pass the ball recklessly; he dribbles the ball a few times and waits for his teammates to get close before passing it to them. That's the difference.

In addition, he is much stronger than the Manchester United captain in terms of physique and positioning.

If you give both cards to LuGuKing, Bruno Fernandes, whose through balls are stronger, is definitely more useful.

Because Lu Qiu Wang (the "King of the Road") won't make endless through balls like Big B (the "Big B").

Those luck-based through balls are not suitable for the tactics of top clubs, let alone for key players.

Big B lacks other qualities of a passer.

If you can add two more skills to ball control, dribbling, advancing, clearing the ball, and controlling the tempo, you won't be that bad. Milin has a certain level of skill in these areas.

He may seem to stumble and fall while dribbling past opponents, but he can actually buy time for his teammates to get into position, instead of being forced to pass the ball behind the defense where no one can receive it.

Therefore, when discussing with substitutes like Ambrosini, Lu Deyang always believed that the timing of the pass was more important than the accuracy of the pass.

They're all professional players. Even if you make a through pass that's perfectly placed, it still requires some adjustment. That tests the striker. But if the timing is bad and the striker can't get the ball, it's not even a test anymore.

Lazio restarted the game.

Sigrinova receives the ball on the wing.

The striker on this side works tirelessly and is already Lazio's fourth all-time top scorer, yet he is still willing to give up the number nine position.

Baggio was very aggressive when pressing forward, but unfortunately his defensive ability was really average.

The two players moved back and forth on the wing, but possession of the ball never changed.

After passing the ball back, Sigrino immediately ran forward, hoping Nedved would pass the ball over the top.

Baggio retreated with him.

With no one marking him, Nedved simply dribbled the ball forward himself.

Ambrosini was about to start, but Redondo rushed forward first.

"Why can't I do it?"

Ambrosini muttered something.

Lu Deyang said with a smile, "Fernando never relies too much on his partner. You can ask the coach if you have any questions."

Ambrosini looked constipated.

I never expected Sacchi's words could be interpreted in this way.

Nedved is quite skilled at dribbling; he has a low center of gravity, quick changes of direction, and a certain amount of explosiveness.

Redondo opted to go straight for the ball.

He held back a bit of his strength, and when he failed to grab it, he immediately turned around and chased back.

The two of them raced each other.

Redondo also cleverly gave Nedved only a half-body advantage, so Nedved had no way to stop and handle the ball.

The Czechs couldn't help but curse inwardly.

He is a player who changes his footwork very quickly, but when the opponent is behind him rather than in front of him, it is not easy to deal with them.

You can't just change your rhythm in the air and then have your opponent catch up and steal the ball.

Half a body length is a delicate matter for a player with his characteristics.

Seeing that Redondo was following him like this, he also became ruthless inside.

Since you're not coming up, I'll extend my lead and then I'll have a chance to handle the ball.

As a long-range shooting expert, Nedved's strength is quite impressive.

With a single step, he unleashed a burst of speed, turning half a body length into a full body length.

Redondo was now forced to accelerate as well.

Redondo is a bit heavier than Nedved.

Even with precautions, Nedved was still a step too slow when he came to a sudden stop.

By the time he turned around, Nedved had already cut back and delivered a cross to the center.

"should be no problem."

Krudelli said, "Stam, Stam has done it again. Many teams still think of Milan from last season, where they would just throw in a cross and try their luck, which didn't have a lower chance of scoring than ground passing. But the arrival of the Dutch defender has changed everything. Milan has transformed from a weak team in aerial defense into a strong team in headers."

As expected, Stam outjumped Bokšić and easily headed the ball away. "Counter-attack!!!"

Sacchi shouted from the sidelines.

Ambrosini received the ball, turned, and immediately played a through ball to Zig Ziglar, who was making a run forward.

Zieg's speed isn't particularly fast, but he's very well-rounded.

Even his right foot is quite good.

More importantly, he felt there was no challenge in Germany, so he chose to transfer.

Lu Deyang had some doubts about why he didn't go to other teams, as it would be difficult for him to find a challenge in Milan.

Nedved tried to catch up, but the distance between them was too great.

Left with no other option, Favalli had to resort to attacking.

Amelia looked at Lu Deyang and still chose to stay in the middle lane.

Lu Deyang's frequent moves towards the middle lane today made him very uneasy.

Snapped,
Zieg quickly slammed the ball across Lu Deyang.

Amelia saw an opportunity and immediately stretched out her leg to try and steal the ball.

click -

Lu Deyang flicked the ball with the outside of his foot, sending it between Amelia's legs. He quickly moved around to receive the ball and passed it to his right foot, immediately sending a through ball.

Snapped--

The timing was right.

The ball rolled between Giovanni Lopez and Pancaro, and Inzaghi deliberately slowed his start, so the linesman clearly saw that he was not offside.

Inzaghi received the ball in the penalty area unmarked. He turned and kicked a high ball with his right foot. Marchegiani, who was on the ground, misjudged the situation and could only watch as the ball flew over him and into the goal.

boom--

"Filippo!"

"Filippo!"

"Filippo!"

The name was first heard at the San Siro stadium.

Inzaghi was also very excited, and ran around the field with his arms outstretched.

It's as if they want to embrace the whole world.

He thought joining Milan would be easier, but he didn't expect his Milan career to go so smoothly.

Including friendly matches, he has scored in nine consecutive games.

"2:0!"

"Dejan assisted Inzaghi again."

"Although Inzaghi's role as a target man was limited, we could clearly feel that both he and Totti performed better today. Even though Totti hasn't scored yet, he has made great progress in his positioning and ball control, putting a lot of pressure on Lazio, which allowed Dejan to get the ball easily."

Data is important, but not entirely important.

Doing things like Totti allows you to steadily suppress the opponent's defense and distract them.

They can also provide significant assistance to their teammates, and their contribution is no less than that of the player who passes the ball.

Sacchi watched the field with excitement, not expecting Inzaghi to integrate into the team so quickly.

When he brought in Inzaghi, he even considered that if Inzaghi couldn't integrate into the team, he would let Marco Simeone be his substitute.

However, seeing Inzaghi's excellent performance in the friendly match, he released Simeone and agreed to let the club sell Simeone to Paris Saint-Germain.

In retrospect, signing Inzaghi before Juventus was a very wise decision.

The little prince didn't look too good as he walked back.

He turned to Deyang and said, "Deyang, I feel like I'm useless."

"Don't worry about it too much. Not participating in scoring goals is also useful to the team."

Lu Deyang advised, "Even if you just stand there and cooperate with me, you can still make a great difference."

Don't let Totti's poor academic record fool you.

But he is really sharp on the field.

Just like Bruno Fernandes and Milinkovic-Savic mentioned before.

Totti is clearly the latter, possessing sufficient game reading ability.

Whether it's passing or shooting, they can find good opportunities.

This may be an innate talent for football.

Even when cooperating, he tries his best to choose the optimal approach.

However, when asked to explain, he couldn't articulate it clearly.

That's the domineering nature of geniuses; they don't even need to think deliberately.

Totti was not satisfied with his performance, even though it was excellent.

Lu Deyang himself often chooses to press the defense to relieve pressure on his teammates and help them find openings.

This is a very important point.

However, Totti focused too much on being involved in scoring goals and neglected his own contribution to the team.

……

"Be careful, even if we don't score, we can't concede another goal!"

Sigrino reminded him.

Nesta responded immediately, discussing the two goals conceded with his teammates on the defensive line.

He was really feeling unwell today.

He was still thinking about having a showdown with Lu Deyang.

However, Lu Deyang didn't give him any chances at all, and didn't even try to attack Lazio's defense with the ball. He mostly just passed the ball to his teammates.

Most importantly, Lu Deyang didn't attack this side at all, which left Nesta very disappointed.

Lazio kicked off with Nedved once again.

After losing the competition with Zidane, Jugovic also lost the competition at Lazio.

Nedved's future transfer to Juventus would make him Zidane's successor.

It's not unfair that a versatile player like Jugovic lost.

Redondo and Ambrosini switched positions, with Redondo now keeping an eye on Nedved.

Lu Deyang simply switched positions with Ambrosini and went to the middle to defend with Redondo.

Ambrosini's eyes practically flew to the sky.

Honestly, he has absolutely no status in midfield.

However, Lu Deyang's positional switch did have a significant effect. He and Redondo were on one side, and Nedved decisively chose to pass the ball, wanting to switch to the other side.

As soon as Jugovic got the ball, he was pushed back down the wing by Ambrosini.

The former Red Star player tried to dribble past his opponent several times without success, so he immediately passed the ball back.

But at that moment, Totti rushed forward and stretched out his foot, directly blocking the ball.

Oh shit!

Jugovic tried to win the ball back, but Totti was faster. He turned and flicked the ball across half the field to find Redondo who was making a run forward.

Redondo received the ball with his back to goal and made a diagonal pass behind him. Lu Deyang glanced into the penalty area and chipped the ball over the goalkeeper without stopping it.

Snapped--

The ball obediently bypassed Lazio's defense and headed straight for the goal.

Totti wasn't done yet, but Inzaghi didn't disappoint Lu Deyang.

Even though Pancaro was nearby, he still managed to get a touch on the ball in front of the goal and volley it into the net with the inside of his foot.

"hat trick!!!"

"Inzaghi scored a hat trick!"

"He had a fantastic start in Milan, but today he should give more credit to Dejan, who provided him with three assists. Dejan helped him score in three different ways. If Dejan wanted to shoot himself, he could have put the ball in the goal as well..."
