If you are a brother, come and play football

"You are finally here."

Vialli greeted people at the door of his enormous, extravagant house.

He was saying hello, but he was actually just waving from his sun lounger.

“Idiot, this is the beach at the end of November. Are you trying to show us that buying a house by the sea was the right thing to do?” Mancini retorted.

Vialli sat up and said, “You guys didn’t come in the summer, so I can’t show off. I have to make up for it. If I spend money and don’t surprise my friends, then it’s as if I didn’t spend it at all.”

Several teammates raised their middle fingers together.

I have to say, Vialli's home is quite trendy.

In Lu Deyang's opinion, it was just a little lacking.

The decorating style is more like the American style seen in movies, which Lu Deyang really can't appreciate.

Interior design styles in any region are highly regional, particularly in the use of materials and color schemes.

The home decor styles featured in 90s American movies were later abandoned by them.

Lu Deyang prefers the simpler, brighter, and more approachable Mediterranean style with its pastoral charm.

However, this kind of thing is not surprising. The whole world yearns for the United States, let alone a seasoned movie enthusiast.

In Lu Deyang's view, abandoning the Mediterranean style in favor of American-style decoration is like a Chinese PhD going to New York to wash dishes—completely blind.

I don't know how much I'll regret it after I remove the filter.

Americans have absolutely no cultural heritage.

The Mediterranean style has evolved over thousands of years.

Even if all else fails, you can opt for a Baroque-style renovation; at least that will look quite luxurious.

"The main reason I invited you all here today is that my dad sent half a bluefin tuna yesterday, and I also bought some high-end juice beforehand, so I thought I'd invite you all over for dinner."

Vialli said.

"Juice or wine?"

"Redondo asked."

“Juice,” Vialli said, walking in and carrying out a large box. “Freshly brewed apple juice, also from Sardinia, goes perfectly with the tuna.”

"Damn it, he always flaunts his money."

Mancini complained, but his hands didn't stop for a moment. He first grabbed two bottles of juice and wrapped them in his coat.

Seeing this, Vialli said, "I've already prepared it for Filippo, and I'll send it to Federica later."

Mancini smiled and nodded.

Lu Deyang went over to take a look and found that the tuna had been cut into suitable sizes for cooking.

For them, frying is definitely the best method.

Even complex cooking techniques are beyond the players' capabilities.

Just as he was about to start cooking, Redondo came over and said, "Let me do it, Dejan. I'm quite knowledgeable about cooking."

Lu Deyang immediately vacated the kitchen.

Vialli waved to the others and said, "Let's go, I've prepared a barbecue grill, let's barbecue in the yard."

The teammates didn't have any objections.

The weather is alright today, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, which is perfect for outdoor activities.

With nothing else to do, Lu Deyang found some fresh vegetables, washed them, chopped them, and marinated them in olive oil.

That's enough for them to eat.

With more people, preparations can be faster.

Not long after, Mancini invited Lu Deyang out for barbecue.

Redondo also advised, "I'll take it out to bake after I've finished processing it. You can go out first, Dejan."

Lu Deyang walked into the courtyard where Dosena was showing off with a wine glass.

"Virgil recently won a creativity award for his painting; who knows, he might become a designer or something in the future."

"Why didn't you bring Virgil along?"

Lu Deyang asked after sitting down.

“He said he had plans with friends, and young people prefer to hang out with other young people,” Dorsena said.

“Maybe he’ll bring home a child in a few days and make you a grandfather,” Paryuka joked.

Dorsena, however, said nonchalantly, "Becoming a father at around 14 years old wasn't uncommon in the past."

“If a reporter hears you say that, you’ll be criticized by women all over Europe tomorrow,” Pagliuca said again.

Materazzi nodded in agreement.

Back when I was in Lazio's youth team, even the first team couldn't mess with those guys.

Most importantly, you never know when someone close to you might betray you and start talking about compensation for household chores.

"By the way, I heard from a friend that the Soviets seem to be planning to activate Mount Vesue to destroy Italy," Parry said mysteriously.

Lu Deyang: ...

Only Italians think Italy is something special.

The Russians do have a Mount Fuji plan.

The disintegration will be revealed next month.

They had gathered a group of geologists and physicists to prepare to detonate Mount Fuji and give the Japanese a big surprise. Unfortunately, the plan was never carried out, otherwise KD might have been able to compete with Oppenheimer for second place.

Speaking of which, Paul from the Wiljoward family is going to be sad again.

Lu Deyang asked, "How's Paul doing lately?"

“Not bad,” Wiljoward said. “Recently, he and his classmates formed some kind of equality group, and they’re out on the streets all day preaching against discrimination against Gypsies.”

Be careful with your money.

Lu Deyang advised, "The French have already done this before."

“Actually, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. At least he’s very kind-hearted,” Wiljoward said.

“If you want to change the world, you have to change the way things are distributed, not use your money to support the poor.” Lu Deyang complained, “You’ve never even eaten shark fin soup, yet you’re always advocating for animal protection with them. This is using collective guilt to cover up their extravagant lifestyle. We don’t need to be held hostage.”

"I ate before."

Vialli and Redondo, who had just come out, spoke together.

“You’re rich now,” Mancini retorted. “No, your uncle was rich before.”

"But I have the heart of a proletarian."

Lu Deyang shrugged and said.

He's a patriotic entrepreneur, so don't hang the wrong streetlights.

Let alone today's players, even if later players make a lot of money, most players' lives are not too luxurious.

Buying a house, buying a car, and occasionally going to a nightclub are things that ordinary people do too. Players just spend a little more, and their entertainment is completely different from that of established wealthy people.

The atmosphere became lively during the meal.

Redondo and some others opted for champagne.

He has always preferred this type of low-alcohol beverage.

After being encouraged by his teammates to drink, Materazzi became more talkative.

He said, “Recently, a Frenchman moved in next door. He always has this inexplicable sense of superiority. He’s a head shorter than me, but I always feel like he’s looking down on me.”

"Those Frenchmen are so annoying!"

Vialli nodded and said, "They always think they're superior to others, but Paris is actually a cesspool!"

"French food is still stolen from us."

Parry said.

When people criticize the French, the whole world has something to say.

At this point, France was still somewhat acceptable; after that, everything was black and green.

I'll go home later.

Mancini insisted on playing the game of walking on the white lines, turning what should have been an hour's walk into a two-hour ordeal.

When Lu Deyang got home, he saw Monica holding the phone between her face and her cheek.

"It's Diane. She said she's coming to watch the Super Cup and cheer for Manchester United."

Monica said with a smile.

“Manchester United fans probably wouldn’t believe that,” Lu Deyang said with a smile, sitting down next to her.

Monica's eyes widened in excitement.

Isn't this her favorite part?

……

Two days later, Sampdoria hosted Manchester United at home.

Manchester United have been using Genoa's training ground, allowing them to get used to the Ferraris Stadium in advance.

Therefore, their preparations are better than those of the average away team.

What left Lu Deyang speechless was that all these details were revealed by his mother, the British.

Compared to them, the Italian media seems like trash.

They're still reporting on Maldini's nightclub antics last week.

“Those Genoa guys really wanted us to lose,” Mannini said. “My neighbors deliberately chose this time to renovate, trying to disrupt my preparations.”

"Manchester United probably won't be able to help him realize his wish."

"No one can beat us at Ferraris Stadium," Wiljoward said.

"We are with Deyang."

Mannini added.

Parry bent down to tie his shoelaces and said, "Actually, Ferrari Stadium should be renamed. Even if it's not called Dejan Stadium, it could be called Mantovani Stadium."

"The Mantovani Stadium is nice."

While changing clothes, Lu Deyang said, "The Chairman is the one who has made the greatest contribution."

“The Genoese would definitely disagree.”

Mancini scoffed and said, "Now all they have left is the stadium naming rights. If the city hall agrees to the name change, they'll have nothing left."

“San Siro and Meazza are just sharing a stadium, so we don’t need to consider their opinions,” Materazzi said in a muffled voice.

Sometimes, being in the same city as a strong team is just that unfortunate.

If they don't perform well, they'll be forgotten very quickly; the Ruhr duo is almost reduced to a single Ruhr powerhouse.

After putting on the armband, Lu Deyang chose to participate in the lottery.

[Your good brother Marco Lanna has a terrible reputation, which makes him very unpopular with women. So, draw a player who is very popular with women. Ding! You have obtained a single-match trial card for the 1969-1970 FA Cup fifth round, Manchester United vs. Northampton Town.]

What the hell!

That's putting so much pressure on Manchester United.

It would be difficult to find a player in Manchester United's history whose talent surpasses that of Best.

Even the other two saints were a bit lacking.

Playing with such a heavy ball like that in the early days was something not everyone could do.

"Let's go, let Manchester United know that winning the title isn't as easy as they think."

Lu Deyang waved his hand and said.

Roar--

The Sampdoria players are also holding their breath.

Not being familiar with Manchester United's style of play, we almost let them catch up.

It's a good opportunity to go back to our home turf and teach them a lesson.

……

Lilonggui.

Galliani sat nervously in front of the black-and-white television, waiting.

As Lu Deyang and his teammates came out to warm up, his heart almost stopped!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lu Deyang will start today, marking his fifth consecutive match as a starter.

He will make a fortune.

This money is enough for him to retire and play around with young models until he dies.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, it should be fine.

"Both teams have returned to the tunnel. The fans are very lucky; Dejan started again today."

Upon hearing Rossi's words, Galliani celebrated with a powerful fist pump.

Sampdoria's 4-4-2 formation with two central midfielders:

Goalkeeper: Pagliuca

Defenders: Lanna, Wiljoward, Orlando, Mannini

Midfielders: Ludjohnsen, Redondo, Parry, Lombardo

Forwards: Mancini, Vialli.

Manchester United 4-4-2 parallel midfield:

Goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel
Guards: Dennis Irwin, Gary Pallister, Steve Bruce, Paul Parker
Midfielders: Ryan Giggs, Mike Phelan, Paul Ince, Kanchelskis

Forwards: Brian McClair, Mark Hughes.

"Compared to Sampdoria, Manchester United made more changes to their lineup, with young Giggs replacing Webber in the starting lineup. In midfield, Phelan returned to the starting lineup."

“Paul Parker cost Manchester United £240 million in the summer, but his performance has never been very consistent. On the other hand, Peter Schmeichel, who cost £75, has become an indispensable member of Manchester United.”

"Yes, if it weren't for Schmeichel in the last round, Manchester United would have conceded at least three more goals. The Danish goalkeeper has shown the level of a world-class goalkeeper."

Youngster Giggs was very excited about starting today.

He had only made occasional appearances for the first team before, usually playing with the youth team.

Being able to start in such an important match today felt like a dream to him.

Ferguson even spent more than an hour talking with him.

He gave a lot of advice based on his future development and current playing situation.

Giggs was excited at the thought that his coach thought so highly of him.

He might soon establish himself in the first team.

If he scores in such an important match, will there be reports about him all over the UK?

A headline like "Genius Ryan Giggs scores a last-minute winner against Sampdoria, helping Manchester United to a comeback victory" would be great.

The thought of becoming the dream lover of countless girls filled Giggs with motivation.

At 6:15 p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the match.

Manchester United passed the ball back as soon as they kicked off.

Vialli and Mancini charged forward like madmen, along with Lombardo.

Having finally managed to start alongside Lu Deyang, he was eager to prove himself more than anyone else.

This fast-paced, high-pressure pressing immediately threw Manchester United's backline into disarray.

Ferran managed to pass the ball to the left wing, and Giggs immediately tried to chip it into the center circle to his teammate.

At that moment, Lu Deyang rushed forward and kicked the ball towards Manchester United's half.

The Scottish coach, who was chewing gum, stopped chewing and stared blankly at the field.

Even under intense pressure, Lu Deyang maintained his accuracy in passing the ball, which went directly to Lanna, who was making a forward run.

Lanna immediately passed the ball across to Lu Deyang, who was making a forward run.

Lu Deyang slowed down slightly when he received the ball, which made the Manchester United defense feel the danger.

Bruce quickly grabbed the gun.

It's a pity it's too late.

boom--

Lu Deyang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and twisted his body to deliver a powerful kick, which caused Lu Deyang to jump up and lose momentum.

The ball flew towards Manchester United's goal like a cannonball, and even Schmeichel didn't have a good chance of getting it. As he turned around, the ball had already nestled into the top left corner of the goal.

!!!

Just nine seconds into the game, Lu Deyang broke through Manchester United's goal.

Not to mention the Manchester United fans who traveled from afar, even Sampdoria fans didn't expect such a dream start.

After a few seconds of silence, the Ferraris Stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

While other fans are going crazy praising their own players' dribbling skills and coming up with fancy names.

Sampdoria fans only chant Lu Deyang's name.

The limited vocabulary in the Italian language left them with virtually no way to describe Lu Deyang's performance.

It was already dark in Genoa at this time.

The weather has cooled down considerably. The single-digit temperatures, however, couldn't dampen the passion of Sampdoria fans.

"Another iconic Dejan goal!"

"From winning back possession to providing assists for his teammates, Dejan's goals are always a perfect blend of individual heroism and collectivism. As long as his teammates can get some stats, Dejan will never score the ball himself."

"This is probably the secret to why Dejan is Sampdoria's most popular player. I would like a teammate like that too."

"This goal is not a good thing for Manchester United. In the last game, they scored two goals after Dejan was substituted, giving them hope of winning the title. But Dejan's goal reminded them that when he's on the pitch, Sampdoria is the strongest team in the universe, without a doubt!"

Ferguson stood still.

The mouth, which had forgotten to chew, started moving again.

At this moment, he needed to remain calm more than the players.

Although I know it's going to be hard for the team to win, I still have to give it a try.

He originally wanted to change his tactics, but it was a bit difficult to use the league as a training ground for a hard-to-obtain trophy.

Ultimately, he did not make any changes to the tactics to avoid a tactical adjustment period for the team during the season.

Those kids were all from the same group that played in the FA Youth Cup.

However, Giggs stayed at Manchester United longer than others; he joined the club in 86, while players like Beckham didn't arrive until 91.

Moreover, Giggs was two or three years older than them.

That's why he chose to start Giggs today.

Let that kid experience the pressure of a top team and stop being so complacent.

He occasionally put on a good performance in the English First Division, but he's hardly considered an outstanding player in European football.

However, today's method seems to be a bit too effective.

Not to mention Giggs, even veterans like Hughes and Bruce looked completely bewildered.

The players weren't fully engaged in the game at the start, which dealt them a blow.

Steve Bruce, being the captain, went up and put his arm around Giggs' shoulder, saying, "It's okay, we only managed to come back from two goals in the final moments last time too."

Giggs nodded somewhat blankly.

The outcome of the match was completely different from what he had expected.

Manchester United's back passes were much faster after the restart, as they were afraid of being intercepted by Sampdoria again.

They've never seen this style before.

Irwin received the ball and passed it directly to Giggs, who then took a touch with his left foot and started his run.

He is indeed very fast and has excellent dribbling skills.

Five years ago, Ferguson saw his video and, without hesitation, approached him and signed Giggs to a contract.

This young man has shown great promise.

Seeing that Giggs was young, Lombardo immediately tried to steal the ball.

Unexpectedly, the opponent immediately flicked the ball with his left foot to change direction, and then accelerated past him.

Even Parry's previous attempts to help defend were hampered, as Parry quickly dribbled past him.

Fortunately, Wiljoward quickly intercepted the ball and poked it directly to Redondo.

Sampdoria launched another counterattack.

When Sampdoria attacked, their attack was on a completely different level from Manchester United's.

Manchester United's attack is still one-dimensional; when they break through on the flanks, they move forward into the attacking third, with the midfield at most providing support.

But as soon as Redondo gets the ball, Sampdoria's entire formation starts to move.

Even Pagliuca was adjusting his position to support the advancing defense and prevent a sudden back pass after being pressed.

This action made Ferguson fall into deep thought.

Honestly, we learned more from playing over 90 minutes against Sampdoria than we did from winning the Cup Winners' Cup last season.

Previously, he was considering de-centralizing the team, like Sacchi, so that there were no superstars, and everyone was a part of the tactics, a cog in the machine.

However, after seeing Lu Deyang's good performance, he became convinced that the team must have a top-notch player.

Even if a superstar is targeted and the situation cannot be changed, he can still attract a lot of defensive attention.

This is not a simple addition or subtraction problem.

If several people are assigned to defend one position, there will inevitably be gaps in other positions.

Just like this Sampdoria counter-attack, Lu Deyang's forward run was very fast.

Manchester United's defense was frantically tracking back, completely ignoring Mancini, who was slightly behind.

Sir Alex Ferguson felt that if the ball were given to Mancini, it would be a good opportunity.

However, as soon as Redondo crossed the center circle, he immediately played a through ball to Lu Deyang, completely disregarding the defenders on Lu Deyang's left and right sides and behind him.

This made Ferguson frown.

Isn't that too risky?
Lu Deyang dribbled diagonally forward, and Bruce immediately slid in from behind, his studs grazing Lu Deyang's heel. The referee was already preparing to blow the whistle.

However, seeing that Lu Deyang only swayed slightly before continuing his charge into the Manchester United penalty area, the referee still did not blow the whistle.

Oh shit!

Schmeichel left the penalty area and waited in place, keeping his center of gravity low.

He saw that his teammates were chasing after him, but he didn't dare to lose focus.

Only a weakling would place his hopes on someone else.

The Danish goalkeeper silently calculated Lu Deyang's steps and pace, as well as the distance between the two.

At that moment, Erwin, who had been chasing back, suddenly rushed over, and Lu Deyang also rushed in front of him.

Lu Deyang, dribbling the ball, twisted his body and pretended to shoot, then quickly brought his right foot down.

Fake shot!

This move caused Irwin to overshoot, and Schmeichel also dove to the side.

Lu Deyang easily dribbled the ball past Schmeichel, turned and sent it into the left side of the empty net.

Manchester United's defense and goalkeeper became the most dazzling backdrop.

After scoring, Lu Deyang passionately rushed towards the corner flag and slid down to his knees.

Sampdoria players rushed forward one after another and slid down their knees in response.

Ferraris Stadium instantly became a hell for the Red Devils, with endless shouts like a death knell piercing the ears of the Manchester United players.

They couldn't even figure out how they had conceded another goal.

Giggs, who had just been dribbling the ball, immediately knelt on the ground.

This time, his loss of possession directly led to the team conceding a goal.

Ferguson, no longer caring about championships, looked at Giggs with some concern.

That kid is one of the most talented wingers in the whole of England, and he was really afraid that one game would completely destroy Giggs' confidence.

This made him wonder if he was being a little too hasty.

Seeing that Lu Deyang started playing in Serie A at the age of 18, Giggs was also given a chance to play in important first-team matches.

Now he has to admit a cruel truth.

Even if someone has talent, that talent is still divided into levels.

Giggs might become a player of Donadoni's caliber, but Lu Deyang is aiming directly for Pelé's position.

Even on a psychological level, the two cannot be compared.

This convinced the Scottish coach to substitute Giggs after halftime.

Starting him today was a mistake; the kid isn't as strong as he thought.

Manchester United fans at the stadium were rubbing their eyes as they watched the game.

They acknowledged Sampdoria's strength, but now Lu Deyan had given them two goals in two minutes, making it hard for them to believe what they had just witnessed.

Excluding the celebration time for the first goal, Lu Deyang didn't waste any opportunities at all.

They kicked off twice, and Lu Deyang and Sampdoria made two interceptions to complete efficient counter-attacks with a 100% success rate!

Is this what Italian football is like?!
Arriving in Genoa with a sense of superiority from the British Empire, they were left questioning their very existence from the very start of the match.

They were harassing and snatching the goods like mad dogs.

A steal without any unnecessary movements.

Precise and quick passing.

A lightning-fast counterattack.

The skill displayed by getting past the goalkeeper and outmaneuvering the defender.

All of this made them feel that the opponents they were facing were not teams from the same era as Manchester United.

too strong!
It was even stronger than the last time I saw it at Dream Theater.

Is this the true strength of Number Seven?
As a team with a tradition of wearing the number 7, Manchester United fans believe that only a number 7 like this can be compared to George Best. Kanchelskis, wearing number 7, isn't even worthy of shining Ludwig's shoes.

……

"guys."

Steve Bruce didn't know what to say.

But as the captain, he had to step up.

Bruceston paused for a moment and said, "Two goals is indeed exaggerated. They are very strong, but we are Manchester United. Sir Matt Busby and Mr. Charlton are watching our performance on TV in Manchester. It's too early to talk about giving up now."

"Well said, Captain!"

Schmeichel joked.

This taciturn man actually said something that surprised him.

Schmeichel raised his right arm and shouted, "Get the hell together, all of you! If anyone makes me have to fish the ball out of the net again, I'll shove your heads down into the toilet in the away locker room at halftime, you hear me?"

A burst of howling immediately followed the halftime break.

Schmeichel's words were clearly more intimidating.

Despite having only been with Manchester United for less than six months, this hot-tempered goalkeeper is indeed very fierce.

Some veteran players are afraid of him.

Schmeichel raised an eyebrow at Bruce with a hint of smugness.

Steve Bruce smiled and nodded.

He prefers to express his determination through actions rather than words.

It would be great if Schmeichel could step up.

Manchester United finally stabilized at the kickoff this time.

Manchester United players consciously avoided Giggs' left flank when passing the ball, to avoid putting too much pressure on him.

Kanchelskis received the ball, accelerated, and overtook Lu Deyang. Lu Deyang tried to catch up but still fell behind.

Seeing this, Lanna rushed forward and slid in with a tackle.

Kanchelskis was prepared and dodged the ball with a flick, jumping over Lanna's feet.

The only one who was stopped was Lu Deyang, who was almost tackled.

"I'm sorry, Deyang."

Lu Deyang waved his hand dismissively.

At this point, Kanchelskis had successfully reached the byline.

The Soviet international, not wanting to get entangled with Vilchovold, simply turned and lobbed the ball into the penalty area.

Orlando was a step slower than Mark Hughes, but fortunately Pagliuca caught the ball first.

Upon spotting Lu Deyang in the backfield, Pagliuca immediately threw the ball to him.

Before McClair could press, Lu Deyang smoothly flicked the ball diagonally to Parry.

Parry quickly splits the ball with Dorsena.

After receiving the ball, Dossena dribbled laterally and passed it to Redondo.

Redondo immediately turned around and kicked Lu Deyang again.

Lu Deyang received the ball and immediately flicked it past Paul Ince, leaving him more than three meters behind. The terrifying speed made Sampdoria fans gasp in amazement.

If it weren't for the billboards as a reference point, fans watching on TV might have thought they were hallucinating.

This is practically flying at low altitude over the grass.

Two long legs clad in white socks flew up and down, and Mike Phelan was beaten before he could even extend his leg.

"Dejan charged into the opponent's penalty area again. What will Dejan choose this time? Vialli and Lombardo both moved into the penalty area. Dejan chose to pass the ball. Lombardo... oh dear, the ball wasn't passed back immediately. After passing the ball, Dejan rushed into the penalty area, obviously wanting to do a one-two with him, but Lombardo's control of the ball was a bit sluggish, and the pass was too slow."

"After Bruce intercepted the ball, he launched another counter-attack. Both teams were running like crazy on the pitch today. Although Manchester United have already conceded two goals, their attacking power on both flanks is still quite good."

"It's Redondo again! After winning the ball, Redondo passed it to Mancini. Redondo is a nightmare that Manchester United's wingers can never wake up from!"

Mancini received the ball, turned, and made a very good through pass. Lu Deyang, who was in an offside position, deliberately ran away from the ball to create cover. Vialli followed up with a shot, but Schmeichel successfully caught it in his arms.

That shot was perfectly straight.

Vialli applauded Lu Deyan.

That run and combination was really beautiful, but he thought Lu Deyang was going to get the ball, so he was a step too slow when he went up to shoot, which made it impossible for him to adjust.

It was delivered directly into the goalkeeper's arms.

"Counterattack! Counterattack now!"

Ferguson waved and shouted from the sidelines.

If they can score just one goal, the pressure on them will be significantly reduced.

Schmeichel quickly threw the ball to Irwin.

Today, the main reason for Erwin and Giggs playing together is to stimulate Giggs's ability to break through defenses.

After receiving the ball, Irwin thought for a moment, but still made a wide pass to the right wing.

Kanchelskis controlled the ball very well, easily stopping it at his feet.

They then launched another attack on the right flank.

Lanna gritted his teeth and charged forward.

Damn, they really think he's easy to bully?

The Soviet man was just as fast as him, and the two engaged in a speed duel on the wing.

The experienced Kanchelskis made a sudden stop, deceiving Lanna into losing his balance, and then, without adjusting, lobbed the ball into the penalty area.

This pass was a bit out of control; Pagliuca jumped and caught the ball without even leaving the goal line.

The Sampdoria goalkeeper wanted to mock the opponent's pass, but he immediately widened his eyes.

opportunity!

Without saying a word, Pagliuca tossed the ball up and launched it with a powerful kick.

The ball dipped sharply after crossing the halfway line, and Mancini, in the center circle, jumped up and flicked the ball towards Manchester United's half.

click -

Lu Deyang jumped slightly to stop the ball, but did not rush to attack.

You still need to adjust your breathing rhythm after continuous back-and-forth running.

Pallister and Bruce saw Lu Deyang get the ball and turned around and ran back almost simultaneously. Mancini, who had just passed the ball, quickly moved forward to receive Lu Deyang's pass.

Lu Deyang had only taken a few steps when Mike Phelan rushed towards him.

Lu Deyang accelerated and flicked his right foot with the outside of his foot, using his speed to forcefully break past Ferran.

This future Manchester United assistant manager also complained that Sir Alex Ferguson did not pass the position to him when he retired. Interestingly, Giggs, who played alongside him on the left flank today, also later served as a Manchester United assistant manager.

Paul Ince gave chase but could only run past Lu Deyang.

Seeing that something was wrong, Steve Bruce quickly accelerated and rushed towards Lu Deyang, not wanting him to rush into the penalty area.

However, the difference in explosiveness between the two is still quite obvious.

Bruce was ready to foul, even shifting his weight forward.

But he couldn't touch Lu Deyang's body and almost stumbled and fell in the penalty area.

Oh shit!

Schmeichel cursed under his breath and continued to adjust his position.

Lu Deyang's shooting angle was getting smaller and smaller, so he would naturally choose to block the near post.

"Fake!"

Schmeichel suddenly roared and charged at Lu Deyang.

This is a trick he learned in England, used to intimidate players with the ball.

Lu Deyang turned around and kicked him.

Bang—Schmeichel, who hadn't even reached his position, immediately fell to the ground with his arms outstretched and his feet together, trying to make a final struggle. Unfortunately, the ball flew over his calves and went straight into the left side of the goal.

boom--

"Goal!!!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"Goal! Goal! Goal!!!"

"Dejan once again made a half-field run, dribbling past several players and leaving Manchester United's defenders and goalkeeper as mere backdrops. Today, Dejan scored a hat-trick in just seven minutes, completely killing the game."

"If 4-3 gave Manchester United a chance, then 7-3 foreshadowed what could be a disaster."

"Ferguson had better hope that Boskov would substitute Dejan early, otherwise a double-digit scoreline today is a foregone conclusion..."
