If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 90 Italian Football Dynasty (Please subscribe)

As the game time approached, the atmosphere became more and more heated.

Sampdoria, as a highly-watched team, was not the most prominent one this time.

Because a total of four Italian teams made it to the European finals!

The Cup Winners' Cup kicks off first, with Sampdoria facing Anderlecht.

The two final teams of the UEFA Cup are Juventus and Fiorentina, and the trophy will remain in the Apennines no matter what.

AC Milan's opponent in the Champions League final is the Portuguese giants Benfica.

This can be said to be the golden age of Italian football.

The entire Apennines are discussing how many trophies Serie A teams can finally win. Coupled with the fact that Italy will host the World Cup in the summer, football fever has swept across the Apennines.

Many football legends have expressed their views.

Beckenbauer said in an interview with Bild: "Bremer, Matthäus and Klinsmann had a failed season. Four Italian teams reached the final but Inter Milan was not one of them. This can be said to be a failure of German football. From here we can also see that German football needs a certain degree of change. Only in this way can we narrow the gap with other countries."

Rivera told reporters: "I can't guarantee anything, but there is no problem for Italy to win two titles. One will be between Juventus and Fiorentina, and Sampdoria will win one. I hope Milan can win the championship, so that Italy will have three championships."

Italian newspapers have similar views and are more optimistic about this season's European competitions.

It is generally believed that Italy will win 2-3 championships.

Although AC Milan is strong, Benfica is not a weak team either, and is stronger than Anderlecht.

Many familiar friends also left messages on Lu Deyang's pager to encourage him.

Lu Deyang also invited some friends to watch the final.

On May 5, the entire Sampdoria team and their families boarded a special plane to Sweden.

Mancini was reading a detective novel.

Lu Deyang wanted to be quiet for a while, but there was little Curly next to him.

The young Ronaldo exclaimed: "It's great that you can actually take a plane. You seem like a big star now."

"Of course, I asked you to come and play football with me when you grow up."

Lu Deyang said.

"I will be a big star in the future, and I can beat you!" said the little curly-haired boy proudly.

Lu Deyang clenched his fists and rubbed his head twice.

The little curly-haired boy immediately covered his head and cried out in pain.

"I am 14 years older than you. By the time you grow up, I will be old. What is there to be proud of if you beat me?" Lu Deyang taught him a lesson.

He is still young and doesn't learn his lessons. He doesn't know how to lead his elder brother in the future and he even wants to usurp the throne. His thinking must be corrected as soon as possible.

"Humph!"

Ronaldo folded his hands over his chest and turned his head to the window.

Lu Deyang casually handed over a hamburger, which immediately attracted his attention.

Children always have no resistance to this kind of fried food.

"If you really want me to eat it..." Curly said after swallowing.

Lu Deyang stuffed the burger directly into his hand.

"That's not what I want to eat!" Curly emphasized.

"Yes, yes, remember to give me the best car in the world when you have money in the future." Lu Deyang said.

"It might work."

Ronaldo said vaguely while eating a hamburger.

He also had no idea how much the best cars would cost.

Federica pointed at Lu Deyang and said, "Maybe you should have a child. Deyang seems to like children very much."

"I do not think so."

Monica rolled her eyes and said, "He treats other people's children as friends. If it were his own family, I can hardly imagine what he would do."

What if the father and son play together every day in the future, what will she do?
"At least Dejan is caring." Federica complained: "Roberto is always anxious lately."

"What's wrong? Are you having a good life?"

Monica asked.

"He's always worried that his child won't have any special talents." Federica pouted at Lu Dejan and said, "Dejan can play football, ride a bike very well, and draw comics. He can definitely inherit one of these talents. Roberto is afraid that his child won't be able to compare to your future children, which would embarrass him."

“Everyone has his or her own strengths.”

Monica consoled.

If you insist on competing with Pele in ball sense and Federer in tennis, what else can you do?

The family members on the plane were chatting in groups of three or four.

The Samp wives group is more like a tour group than the girlfriends of the stars in the stands.

Boskov was quite satisfied with this atmosphere. After all, he didn't want to see the players suing girls over child support in the newspapers one day.

The flight from Milan to Gothenburg takes less than three hours.

As a tourist city, Genoa still does not have as many flights as Milan.

Sometimes, for international flights, you still need to drive to Milan Airport first.

As soon as I got out of the airport, I saw a lot of enthusiastic fans from all over the world. The security was reliable and we didn't waste too much time.

There are many children among the family members, and they don’t have the patience to stay at the airport with the fans.

The entire Sampdoria team stayed at the Radisson Blu Marina Hotel in Gothenburg, which overlooks Gothenburg's port and Gota River and has relatively complete supporting facilities.

This is probably the best hotel Samp has stayed in this season.

“It feels pretty good here.”

Monica said as she lay on her bed and looked out the window.

"Yes, I heard there are saunas and swimming pools. Swedes love saunas. I read in a travel magazine that there are 30 saunas in Sweden, which means there is one sauna for every 30 people."

Lu Deyang said.

"Well, maybe one day I'll see on the news a Swede who fell asleep in a sauna and was steamed to death," Monica complained.

Italy also has public baths and saunas, which have existed since ancient Roman times, and men and women bathe together.

"Do you want to take a sauna together? I heard that we can temporarily book a sauna room." Lu Deyang asked.

"Why? You'll be deprived of oxygen if you're active in such a hot place!"

Monica said warily.

Lu Deyang: ...

Is this the image of King Lu in your mind?
"Okay, go swim. I've made an appointment with Federica to do a SPA together." Monica said.

"Ok."

Lu Deyang saw Little Curly after walking a few steps out of the door.

"Why don't you go play with your brothers and sisters?" Lu Deyang asked.

"They went out to play with others and didn't want to take me with them."

Little Curly said with some grievance.

Teenagers don't like playing with other children.

Lu Deyang took the little curly-haired boy's hand and led him to the swimming pool, where he saw Paul from the Virchoward family.

"Paul, come here!" Lu Deyang waved and shouted.

"What's wrong, Uncle Deyang?" Paul ran to Lu Deyang quickly with his calf glaring.

"You two are about the same age, go swimming together. I'll have some drinks over there. Call me if you need anything." Lu Deyang said, turning around and asking the waiter to get a pair of swimming trunks for Ronaldo.

Paulo Virjoward glanced at Ronaldo and asked, "Man, did you know that the best country in the world is the Soviet Union?"

Lu Deyang: ...

The little guy has been cultivating like-minded companions since he was young, right?

Lu Deyang could hardly imagine what it would be like to see a Cristiano Ronaldo who liked to sing "Katyusha" and dance the political commissar dance when celebrating.

Not long after, Virjoward also sat on the lounge chair by the swimming pool and handed Lu Deyang a glass of juice.

"I thought you weren't worried about the kids."

Lu Deyang complained.

Let him play in the swimming pool by himself when he was only a few years old.

"I was busy just now, and I didn't even know he was coming to swim," Viljoward explained.

"That's very careless of you."

"Isn't it okay?" Viljoward said, "It's the finals again, I'm a little nervous."

"Anderlecht isn't as strong as Barcelona," Lu Deyang said. "You were voted one of the best man-marking defenders in Italian history by the newspapers."

“I’m just afraid of losing.”

"I'm 31 years old now, and you don't know what the future holds. You're not young anymore, and every final could be the last," Viljoward said.

He won the World Cup with Italy at the age of 23.

But the championship at club level is a little bit short.

"Don't worry, you have a long career ahead of you." Lu Deyang consoled him, "Italian defenders always have a long career ahead of them."

Except for those who retired due to injury, almost every well-known defender can play until he is over 36 years old.

"It's not a good thing to have a career that's too long," Viljoward added.

Lu Deyang stood up and waved to Viljoward. Viljoward walked to the edge of the swimming pool, and Lu Deyang kicked him down.

"You just think too much. This isn't for you. Just relax."

Damn, they are both so sentimental.

It would be fine if Mancini said this.

Virgio is a key player of the Italian national team.

How many people want to exchange all the club's championships for a World Cup trophy but don't even have the chance?

Lu Deyang couldn't help but think of Ibrahimovic.

That kid should be hanging around on the streets now, right?
Although Sweden has good welfare benefits, his parents are illegal immigrants and the family lives in a slum.

His parents' jobs are the kind that no one wants and pays little.

Moreover, his two brothers and two sisters are half-sisters, and his mother often beats him, so Ibrahimovic's situation is worse than Cassano's.

His sister is also taking drugs.

It was not easy for Ibrahimovic to achieve what he did later.

Talent is one thing, but self-control is also important.

The fact that he did not develop any bad habits in such an environment was the fundamental reason why he later had the opportunity to realize his talent.

Many Brazilian geniuses have ruined themselves before they even have the chance to leave the slums.

In the evening, Lu Deyang specially tried Swedish food.

After a brief adaptation to the venue on the second day, the competition day finally arrived.

5 month 7 day.

The Sampdoria team took a nap and then took a bus to the stadium.

As a neutral venue, Sampdoria is clearly more popular than its opponents.

Lu Deyang changed his jersey and attended the press conference with Boskov.

It wasn't long before Demos and his captain, George Glenn, arrived.

德莫斯这名荷兰教练比博斯科夫成就更高，他执教阿贾克斯拿到过1982、83、85赛季的荷甲冠军和82、83赛季的荷兰杯冠军，在海伦芬拿到了1987-88赛季的超级杯和优胜者杯冠军，执教安德莱赫特后也拿到了一个比利时杯和一个比甲。

Lu Deyang's attention was focused on George Glenn, a 1-meter-tall full-back with strong offensive ability. He scored 85 goals in seven seasons in the Belgian league and 7 goals in various cup competitions.

This efficiency is higher than that of ordinary midfielders.

As the two men sat down, reporters began to ask questions one after another.

"Mr. Demos, do you have any plans for Deyang today?"

"Wu Jiading, will you announce your starting lineup in advance?"

"Mr. Boskov, what do you think of Anderlecht?"

"Dejan heard that you invited a child's family to watch the game. Can you tell me about the relationship between you two?"

"It is said that your endorsement income is 1000 million US dollars. Is that true?"

George Glenn's eyes widened.

Is it so profitable to play football in Italy?
As the star player of the team, he only earns $8000 a month.

Before the game even started, Anderlecht's captain suffered a heavy blow.

It was hard for him to imagine what $1000 million was like. Anyway, the combined salaries of their entire team didn't even reach half of that, and the substitutes' salaries were very low.

"Dejan is an excellent player. Johan (Cruyff) called me to remind me not to relax my defense against Dejan. I have made some arrangements in this regard, but the specific effect still needs to be verified in the game." Demos said.

"Will that disrupt your attack?"

the reporter asked.

Demos said unhappily, "You keep asking about tactics, which isn't doing us any good. And you're insulting me by asking whether a team coached by a Dutch coach will have offensive problems." Boskov kindly took the microphone and said, "I've watched their game. Today's match will be difficult, and I've made some tactical adjustments. As for the starting lineup, I'll announce it an hour before the game."

The deadline for submitting the roster is one hour before the game.

Some coaches like to release the roster a few days before the game day, but that can be a smokescreen.

This thing can be changed before final confirmation. After all, no one can guarantee the health status of the players on that day.

There are too many players in football who have missed important games for inexplicable reasons. Casillas's experience in getting promoted is a good example.

Saint Cassi's luck is extraordinary.

Once the main player was injured, he lost his position and then the main player was injured again.

This kind of thing is quite rare even in all these years of football.

"What is your assessment of the strength of both sides, Mr. Boskov?" a reporter asked.

Boskov said: "Those who can reach the final are strong. I am most vigilant against Anderlecht. The players and I have studied the opponent's information many times. I believe we have made sufficient preparations."

The two head coaches didn't give the reporters any news at all and just spoke politely.

The reporters turned their attention to Lu Deyang.

"Dejan, tell me about your endorsement income."

Lu Deyang shook his head and said, "I can only say that it's not as exaggerated as $1000 million. You always like to exaggerate the facts. I don't think there's anything to say. Diego also has a lot of endorsements."

“Were you close to Maradona?”

one reporter asked.

There was a trap in this question, and Boskov couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Some things about Maradona are no secret. Although being friends with Maradona does not mean you take drugs, the media will deliberately lead you that way.

"I admire Diego's skills very much and we occasionally talk on the phone about football. Diego has had some troubles, but he has solved them and we will soon see the best of Maradona."

Lu Deyang said.

"Real Madrid president Sanz said he is ready to bring you to the Bernabeu in the summer. What do you want to say?"

the reporter asked.

Lu Deyang said directly: "I have heard this many times, and I have refused many times. I never think that Real Madrid is more noble than Sampdoria. I don't want to play football in Real Madrid at all. If I go to Madrid one day, I will definitely report to Atletico Madrid."

"So you're going to Atletico Madrid?"

the reporter asked.

Lu Deyang rolled his eyes and pushed the microphone away.

Boskov quickly said: "Dejan is not going anywhere, he was just making a metaphor."

"But he insulted Real Madrid!" said a Spanish journalist in Italian.

"How is that an insult to Real Madrid?" Lu Deyang asked, grabbing the microphone. "Is rejecting Real Madrid an insult to Real Madrid? From your tone, I thought Franco still had the final say in Spain. Is there a rule that says players can't reject Real Madrid? It's not a crime for me not to play for Real Madrid."

Many reporters laughed.

Especially British journalists.

They really despised the Spanish people's faces.

English League One is not doing well now, but they won't allow the Spaniards to be so proud.

"Okay, that's it for today's press conference."

Boskov said, pulling Lu Deyang up with him.

He was afraid that Lu Deyang would say something controversial again.

As they walked towards the locker room, Boskov said: "You lost your composure today, Dejan. Even if you don't like Real Madrid, you shouldn't say it so openly."

"I just don't like the attitude of Spanish reporters." Lu Deyang complained.

It seems like it's your honor that Real Madrid takes a fancy to you.

That club, from the chairman to the players, from the players to the fans, as well as the staff and reporters following the team, are all equally arrogant.

"Okay, I can understand the young people's thoughts. I hope they won't make any dirty moves when they face Real Madrid next time." Boskov said with some concern.

Don’t think that Real Madrid players are clean. The Juanito in the Juanito spirit is a famous boxer.

He was suspended for stepping on Matthäus' face with his shoe studs.

"Don't worry, coach. We are not easy to bully."

Lu Deyang persuaded.

Hearing this, Boskov became even more worried.

Don't let his players be banned for five years.

"Let's go. I'll be waiting for you."

Vialli waved hello.

"Let's go."

Lu Deyang also came out to warm up.

boom--

As the players from both teams walked out of the field, there was a burst of cheers at the Old Ulivi Stadium.

Sampdoria fans showed great enthusiasm. They thought the final was a sure win, so they preferred to watch the game in person.

With the addition of fans from some other countries, the neutral stadium has completely become Sampdoria's home ground.

When Vialli passed the ball to Lu Deyang, he remembered that the draw had not yet taken place.

[Ding, because your good brother Mancini can't kick the falling leaf ball and can't control the rotation of the ball, so draw a player who can kick the falling leaf ball and get the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United VS Dynamo Kyiv, Cristiano Ronaldo single game experience card]

Little Curly!!!
Based on previous experience, Lu Deyang thought he would draw some Anderlecht legend, or at worst Belgian legend Enzo Scifo, or Tintin, Burger King or the like.

Unexpectedly, a little curly-haired girl came directly.

When he first arrived at Manchester United, Ronaldo was really willing to show off his skills. Sometimes he did it just to show that he missed the best time to pass the ball, and his ability to taunt was extremely strong.

At that time, many defenders said they wanted to break his legs.

Being able to play for such a long time, this physical fitness is really exaggerated.

Since you have drawn Curly, let’s give the child some shock from Xiao Xiao Luo.

"Hey, warm up."

Vialli reminded.

Lu Deyang flicked his right foot, stopped abruptly with a kick, and then knocked the ball past his back with the inside of his foot.

The gorgeous moves caused cheers from the audience.

A more entertaining style of play is naturally more popular with fans.

Vialli reached out for the ball, Lu Deyang passed it to him, but Vialli tried to knock the ball away, and his whole body was stiff, which caused the fans to laugh.

"They really know how to show off."

Charlie Musonda complained.

His son later went to Chelsea and was known as Hazard's successor, but unfortunately he failed to make it.

"Because they really have the ability," said Vanderlinden.

"If you knew how much money he makes, you would think his income exceeds his ability," George Glenn complained.

"How many?"

Vander Linden asked.

"$1000 million in endorsements, not counting salary."

"How many?"

"$1000 million! Damn, I'm going to play football in Italy!" said George Glenn.

Before the game even started, the entire Anderlecht team suffered a huge blow.

Not even close.

The team's top salary, Glenn, is only over $40 a year.

This means that Glenn would win the championship every year and get bonuses, and he would have to play for 20 years without any injuries to catch up with Lu Deyang's one-year endorsement income.

This huge gap would be difficult for anyone to accept.

We are all contestants in the Cup Winners' Cup finals. Why do you earn so much?
Lu Deyang performed a few fancy juggling moves on the sidelines, and it felt like the opponents were aiming at him.

People are very sensitive to other people's gazes.

He turned his head and found that none of his opponents were looking at him. Lu Deyang knew that they were definitely looking at him.

If you think about this kind of thing, you will know who helped him to attract hatred.

Not to mention opponents, Lu Deyang was afraid that his teammates would be jealous if the news were made public.

Fortunately, Sampdoria players have a good mentality. Everyone knows that he makes a lot of money, and their attitude towards him has not changed much.

"Players from both teams walked towards the tunnel. The Cup Winners' Cup final is about to begin."

"Sampdoria has reached the Cup Winners' Cup final for two consecutive years. After losing to Barcelona last year, they are determined to win the championship this year. Moreover, the opponent is weaker than last year, and Sampdoria has been greatly strengthened."

"Yes, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams."

Sampdoria 442 double defensive midfielder and double forward:
Goalkeeper: Pagliuca

Defenders: Carbone, Pellegrini, Virchowd, Mannini,

Midfielders: Lu Deyang, Parry, Dossena, Sarsano,
Forwards: Vialli, Mancini.

Anderlecht 442 double defensive midfielder and double forward:
Goalkeeper: Philippe de Wilde,

Defenders: William Kooyman, Stephen Cosey, Guy Machur, George Glenn,
Midfielders: Patrick Wilfort, Charlie Musonda, Milan Jankovic, Arnold Gudjohnsen,
Forwards: Mark van der Linden, Mark DeGresse.

"Both Anderlecht forwards are short but very agile. It seems they also want to target Sampdoria's tall defenders."

"We are all familiar with Stephen Keshi. He is known as the best defender in Nigerian history. This defender has excellent physical fitness and amazing flexibility. He can often make incredible clearances. Sampdoria should pay attention to this in their offense."

"In general, Anderlecht is more offensive, and William Kooijman and George Glenn both have good assist levels. It could be a wonderful offensive battle today."

Mancini went up to play coin toss with the opponent but failed to win.

At 7:15 p.m., Bruno Galle from Switzerland blew the whistle to start the game.

Technology has always been the strong point of Belgian players. After the kick-off, Van der Linden and De Grese passed the ball continuously near the center circle, attracting Sampdoria players to press forward.

Vialli and Mancini rushed forward, and Van der Linden immediately passed the ball back with his heel.

Musonda passed the ball horizontally as soon as he received it, and Jankovic pushed the ball forward with his right foot.

When Vialli went up, Jankovic continued to break through with the ball sideways, and the two men had a physical contest.

Salzano rushed to help, and Jankovic immediately kicked the ball to the right.

Gudjohnsen!
This is the father of Gudjohnsen from Barcelona.

Seeing Lu Deyang, Gudjohnsen still felt a little nervous.

Compared to the videos he had seen before, the $1000 million really shocked him.

In his impression, only entrepreneurs have so much money.

He didn't dare to dribble the ball forward immediately, but instead carefully moved the ball to test it.

"To the middle!"

Demos yelled, "Don't dawdle there."

Gudjohnsen quickly made a cross pass and found Jankovic who was making a forward run again.

As soon as Jankovic got the ball, Parry saw the right moment and made a flying tackle, directly shoveling the ball behind him.

When Gudjohnsen noticed Lu Deyang starting to move, he reached out and grabbed Lu Deyang's jersey. The coach's task today was to keep a close eye on Lu Deyang.

Knowing that he couldn't run, Lu Deyang didn't take the ball. Instead, he rubbed the ball with the outside of his foot and sent the ball sideways to the center circle.

Only after the opponent let go did Lu Deyang start to move forward.

Dossena was not in a hurry after getting the ball. Lanner was absent today due to injury, and the left side lacked an assist player. He needed to observe the situation on the field.

Seeing Lu Deyang pointing to the right with his hand behind his back, Dossena knew that he was going to change lanes.

He slowly moved forward with the ball, and when Musonda came up to press, he immediately passed the ball to Mannini.

It's now!

Mannini passed the ball forward immediately, and Lu Deyang suddenly started to rush diagonally to the right and successfully caught the ball.

Salsano quickly gave up his position and went to the middle.

He didn't play as a winger very often and was not very familiar with Lu Deyang's style.

Lu Deyang stood near the sideline and William Kooyman stared at him in the same way.

The little curly-haired boy in the stands clenched his fists tightly and whispered, "Go ahead, get past him, go ahead!"

At this time, Lu Deyang suddenly started doing a bicycle kick and pushed the ball forward, seemingly going straight to the bottom.

Kooman did not dare to be careless and rushed to start, but he did not expect Lu Deyang to make an emergency stop and knock the ball back, and then passed the ball into the penalty area with a fancy foot. The ball fell at the feet of Sampdoria players twice in a row but was finally cleared.

The little curly-haired boy in the stands was extremely excited.

This is it!

This is what he wants to see!

He also wants to become such a gorgeous player in the future!
