Chapter 161 The Strongest Manchester United (Please Subscribe)

Damn.

Schmeichel got up somewhat defiantly, turned around, and kicked the ball into the net.

As a gifted goalkeeper, he knew very well that his opponents had no chance today.

This is no longer a loss on a normal level.

It was not a complete annihilation of their strength, but a situation where they had no room to resist.

Lu Deyang was strong in the last game, but not this outrageous.

Was their all-out attack today because they almost tied the score?

The fact that someone so strong still held back sent a chill down the spine of the Danish goalkeeper.

He is 28 years old and has been playing football for over 20 years.

Previously, he had to work part-time in textile factories and nursing homes, and he worked his way up to the top of the wealthy families because he wanted to change his destiny.

Just when he thought he had the reins of fate in his hands, he discovered that fate had always been that bitch, creating an opponent for him that he could never defeat no matter how hard he tried.

Schmeichel, who is usually short-tempered, calmed down and gently tossed the ball out.

This surprised even Steve Bruce.

Schmeichel didn't yell when they conceded a goal, which was a bit unusual for them.

"Peter, are you alright?"

"I asked with concern," Steve Bruce asked.

"roll!"

Schmeichel said.

Bruce finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the real Peter!

Mark Hughes and McClair stood in the center circle again.

"What do you say about the big star?"

McClair said with a hint of mockery.

As a Scotsman signed by Ferguson, he has always been one of the most professional players.

Despite the low salary, he never missed a training session.

They rarely even get injured.

Brian McClair looked down on Hughes's laziness.

Hughes didn't answer, he just snorted.

After the kickoff, Hughes dribbled forward on his own. His footwork is quite good, otherwise he wouldn't have been noticed by Barcelona.

My poor performance at Barcelona before was mainly due to psychological and adaptation issues.

Parry almost got beaten when he was off guard while pressing forward, but he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and pressed again.

Mark Hughes couldn't get rid of him, so he thought of passing the ball to the wing.

Seeing this, Giggs charged forward.

He wanted to show off, but the opponent was marking him too closely, making it very dangerous for him to get the ball.

He seemed a bit lacking in confidence after losing possession of the ball today, which led to the team conceding a goal.

Seeing this, Lombardo turned back and chased after them.

Having played in the top league from a lower league, he is very good at observing his opponents.

With no one to support him, Mark Hughes could only try to force his way through, but at that moment Lanner rushed up to help defend. In a one-on-two situation, he had no chance at all, and the ball was poked behind him by Lanner.

Mancini, who was originally chasing back, saw this and hooked the ball with his foot, then turned and passed it to the left wing.

Kanchelskis and Paul Ince charged at Lu Deyang at the same time.

The two players were in different positions. Kanchelskis rushed to Lu Deyang's side first. Lu Deyang sent the ball forward with his right foot, then flicked his ankle to throw the ball to the left, and then sprinted forward with his left foot.

Fried meatballs!

This dribbling move is simple and practical.

Seeing this, Ince had no choice but to adjust his strategy and chase back.

By the time Kanchelskis turned around, Lu Deyang had already dashed more than three meters away, and it was too late for him to chase after him.

However, Lu Deyang did not run at full speed. Instead, he slowed down and waited for Ince to step on the ball and pull back. Then, he raised his foot as if to tap the ball past Ince, causing Ince to take a big step and almost strain his groin.

Lu Deyang twisted his left foot and was about to run towards the middle.

Kanchelskis, who was chasing back, quickly accelerated upon seeing this.

Before Lu Deyang had fully started moving, he did another turn by stepping on the ball, just avoiding Kanchelskis who was chasing back with all his might. Ince, who had just regained his footing, was hit hard by him, and the two of them fell to the ground.

"Deyang!"

The cheers of Sampdoria fans were like sharp knives piercing the hearts of Manchester United fans.

Their key players looked clumsy and awkward in front of Lu Deyang.

Bruce wanted to help Parker, but Sampdoria players pushed forward very quickly, including Mancini and Vialli, as well as Lombardo and Redondo making forward runs.

If he goes to the wing to cover, there are too few people in the penalty area.

Paul Parker found Lu Deyang, who was dribbling the ball, on the wing. Lu Deyang turned and dribbled the ball diagonally back.

click -

With a sudden inward turn of his right foot, Parker made a significant movement despite the small amplitude.

Manchester United's full-back stretched out his leg to block the shot but failed, and then spun around in place, as if Yorkshire was chasing his tail.

After finally regaining his footing and facing the sideline, Lu Deyang flicked the ball with his left foot, sending it directly into the penalty area.

Even if you turn around, you can't catch up directly.

Two-legged monsters are just that outrageous.

Bruce knew something was wrong as soon as he saw this, and quickly dropped Mancini and rushed towards Lu Deyang.

But Lu Deyang gave him no chance at all. Just a second before he rushed up to block, he twisted his body and kicked the ball. The next second, the ball was already hanging in the net on the left side of the goal.

the fourth!
Lu Deyang easily scored four goals.

Manchester United's defense remained a mere backdrop.

Even the determined Bruce sat somewhat dejectedly inside the penalty area.

"Pretty!"

Sampdoria players rushed over and surrounded Ludjohn to celebrate.

The restricted area, which is 40 meters long and 16.5 meters wide, covers more than 600 square meters, but Steve Bruce felt there was nowhere to fit.

Everywhere you look, there's the clamor of your opponents celebrating their victory.

The 8-3 aggregate score shattered the Manchester United captain's composure, leaving him only with thoughts of the humiliation he was about to face.

Manchester City fans might even laugh at them to their faces.

When Sir Busby sees him again, will he still be qualified to stand tall in front of that man?
Are you okay?

Lu Deyang bent down and reached out his hand to ask.

Every time I say this, I can't help but think of that scumbag who made search engines.

Are you showing off?

"Steve Bruce said irritably."

"It's just a competition."

Lu Deyang grabbed Bruce's arm and pulled him up forcefully, saying, "Don't embarrass Mr. Ferguson. When the Glasgow fans wanted to kill him, he didn't back down."

Steve Bruce couldn't help but look towards the sidelines.

The head coach was still standing there, nodding and smiling in the face of his gaze.

"Why do this?"

Bruce looked at Lu Deyang again and asked.

"I said, it's just a competition."

Lu Deyang said, "Losing the game is not the end of the world, giving up on yourself is. We thrashed Real Madrid, but we didn't see any players commit suicide, so there's no need to blame yourself too much. You are just at the same level as Real Madrid."

Steve Bruce: ...

Oh shit.

Even knowing it was meant to comfort someone, I still felt like those words were incredibly irritating.

Is Real Madrid really only at that level?

In just a few words, Steve Bruce sensed that Lu Deyang was more proud than the British, a pride that stemmed not from the past, but from the present and the future.

It is confidence in oneself.

It was as if no one could defeat him.

Bruce swore he would never forget that punchable face, even 50 years from now.

Manchester United captain shook off Lu Deyang's hand and said, "Don't think I'll go easy on you like this. I'll tackle you again later."

"If you happen to run into him."

Lu Deyang shrugged and walked back.

Redondo, who had been listening for a while, gave a disdainful sneer, which almost made Bruce lose his temper and make a move.

Oh shit.

Is Sampdoria such a deserving team to be beaten up?
Lu Deyang is alright.

The Argentinian looked at him as if he were a lower animal.

The pity and disdain in his eyes were palpable.

"Everyone, perk up!!!"

An enraged Bruce shouted, "Even if we lose, we'll walk out of the away game with our heads held high and not let anyone look down on us."

Seeing that his teammates' reactions weren't very good, he added, "The boss is still watching you guys. You don't want him to come back and talk to you privately, do you?"

Roar--

In an instant, something called fighting spirit burned brightly in Manchester United's half.

In a shonen manga, everyone would be on fire.

There is no one more terrifying than Alex Ferguson in Manchester.

Even if you don't play well, you still have to try your best not to be blamed.

Being pulled into the coach's office for a one-on-one talk for hours is practically killing them.

However, Manchester United quickly found themselves in trouble after the kickoff.

Their ability to advance through the middle is weak, and Sampdoria's wing defense is excellent, which makes it difficult for them to find a good way to get close to Sampdoria's penalty area.

After several attempts, Kanchelskis had no choice but to pass the ball back with one foot.

Paul Ince, who received the ball, simply launched a long ball into the penalty area.

Manchester United's 1.79-meter forward duo is clearly not a tall pair. Although Wilcho Ward is about the same height as them, his physical strength is not on the same level.

The two outstanding strikers quickly understood why Wilczewold had secured a starting position in the Italian national team.

Despite his teammates being out of position, he managed to secure a favorable position against two opponents. Although he couldn't jump himself, he effectively prevented his opponents from jumping as well, allowing Pagliuca to easily catch the ball.

Pagliuca immediately threw the ball to the left wing, but his intention was too obvious and the ball was intercepted by Paul Ince.

As soon as Lu Deyang intercepted the ball, Ince immediately passed it across to Ferran, who tried to send a through ball, but Parry stretched out his leg to block it.

Parry, who had the ball, quickly passed it to Redondo.

Lei Dong made a diagonal pass to Lu Deyang.

Enraged, Ince turned around and launched a sliding tackle from the side, spreading his legs to cover more of the defensive area.

Snapped--

Lu Deyang flicked his foot and jumped up, easily dodging the tackle by passing the ball to the other side.

Paul Parker dared not wait any longer and rushed to Lu Deyang immediately.

He even spread his arms from a distance, ready to commit a foul.

While he was stalling for time, Ferran also returned to help with the defense.

Lu Deyang's immediate spike tricked two players into extending their feet simultaneously, but his right foot brushed against the ball and pulled it back.

A fake shot!

Two Manchester United players were waiting for him to dribble up and pass the ball, so pulling back naturally wouldn't result in a collision.

Upon realizing he had been tricked, Ferran immediately reached out to pull Lu Deyang away, but Lu Deyang used his left foot to support himself while continuing to pull the ball back and turn.

"Genoa Spin!!!"

"The opponent couldn't stop Dejan, so what will Dejan choose? Dejan tries to pass the ball at the top of the penalty area, no, is it a lob? Perhaps it's a pass or a lob, this goal is a bit unexpected, neither Schmeichel nor Vialli expected it, the ball grazed the right side of the post and went out of bounds."

"Dejan's ball handling was probably intended to give his teammates a chance, a chance to score with just a touch. But clearly none of his teammates followed his plan. I think Dejan would have been better off taking the ball and attacking Manchester United's penalty area himself."

"Manchester United are already suffocating under the attacking pressure from Sampdoria; that's Dejan's terrifying dominance on the pitch."

Rossi said with a smile.

British commentators also didn't think Manchester United had much of a chance.

The gap between the two teams is too large.

Manchester United has no one who can dribble up the pitch.

Sampdoria has many players who can dribble forward, with Lu Deyang being the most dangerous on the side, but his teammates can also pose a threat.

That's a huge difference.

Ferguson watched the game intently.

In the previous match against AC Milan, Lu Deyang played as a deep-lying playmaker.

Today's organizer for Sampdoria is Redondo.

In addition to the previous round of the match.

These three games made it very clear to him the role of a deep-lying playmaker.

Needless to say, the view is better.

The area near the defensive midfielder is the best position for visibility throughout the game; it's neither too far forward nor too far back.

It also has the effect of disrupting the opponent's formation.

When you are an attacking midfielder, you are organizing the attack in the opponent's half. It is difficult to keep passing the ball and stretching the opponent. You rely more on your individual ability to protect the ball and dribble.

Even if you are very capable and the opponent has more players in your half, it is still easy for you to be intercepted.

However, backcourt playmakers don't have this problem.

With dedicated personnel for protection and a numerical advantage in the backcourt, they can easily pull apart the enemy by constantly passing the ball around.

Once the opponent's formation shows a weakness, immediately launch a long pass to send the ball to where it should be.

Even if a long pass fails to find a teammate, it shouldn't allow the opponent to immediately launch a counter-attack and leave the opponent with an empty half of the field.

There are so many benefits to doing this.

The more I look at it, the more my heart is drawn to it!
However, there are also problems; Beckham needs time to develop after switching to defensive midfield.

Whether it's Ince or Ferran, they can only play the role of henchmen at best.

They might not even be very good at being enforcers, which has nothing to do with ability. Their training method when they were young was the traditional British mid-range avant-garde style.

Judging from Sampdoria's arrangements, this kind of on-field role seems to have no future.

After Manchester United's attempts to break through with long balls failed, they gradually became more aggressive.

After playing like this for two games, they finally started committing fouls; they're no longer a decent League One team.

Boskov immediately turned around and beckoned with his finger.

We can't let Lu Deyang play anymore.

Chiesa breathed a sigh of relief as he took off his clothes and walked to the sidelines.

Boskov had even stopped using him before, which had worried him for a long time. On the field, Redondo received the ball and was tackled by Ferran. Redondo stepped on the ball, pulled it aside, and immediately passed it to the right wing.

Lombardo, receiving the ball, faced Giggs, feinted, and spotted Lu Deyang in the middle, quickly passing the ball diagonally out.

Ferguson almost cursed when he saw this.

Even if he wasn't one of his players, it shouldn't be this outrageous, right?

There were three people around Lu Deyang, and a whole defensive line in front of him. How the hell did you pass the ball to him?

These are eight Manchester United players; even eight pigs wouldn't allow Lu Deyang to receive the ball in the middle like that.

really!

The moment Lu Deyang received the ball, Kanchelskis on his left, Ferran on his right, and Paul Ince in front of him all started moving simultaneously, rushing towards Lu Deyang from three directions.

Should we turn around and pass it back?
This was the only way Ferguson could think of to handle the situation.

But Lu Deyang is Lu Deyang; he dribbled diagonally, causing Ince to quickly form a pincer movement with Kanchelskis.

Snapped--

Just as the two men were extending their feet, Lu Deyang flicked his right foot with the outside of his foot.

Even though Ince turned around immediately, he was still a little too slow.

The dark-skinned, tough guy simply fell to the ground and stretched out his leg, but Lu Deyang easily dodged it with a flick of his wrist.

The Scottish coach, his fists clenched, stared wide-eyed as Lu Deyang charged towards the team's defense with the ball!
Three more people!
Apart from Irwin keeping an eye on Mancini, the other three defenders were positioned in front of Lu Deyang.

As soon as Lu Deyang entered the penalty area, he was met by a wall of players.

Not to mention Ferguson, even Sampdoria fans are a little worried.

At this moment, Lu Deyang flicked the ball with his right foot and dribbled into the open space in the middle.

Bruce and Parish quickly turned around and adjusted their positions.

click -

But Lu Deyang had only taken one step when his right foot stepped on the outside of his left foot and flicked the ball towards the space left by the two runners. Pallister immediately stretched out his foot and hooked Lu Deyang's left foot.

However, he didn't exert enough force, and Lu Deyang jumped over him.

This little incident gave Bruce time to get back in front of Lu Deyang, and Paul Parker also rushed over.

click -

Lu Deyang twisted his right foot and changed direction again.

Bruce made good use of the gaps left after each position change, making the Manchester United captain feel like a circus clown.

Unable to stand it any longer, Erwin rushed forward and attempted a sliding tackle, but Lu Deyang had already turned and kicked.

boom--

He fired a powerful shot from close range to the right side of the goal with his left foot. Schmeichel guessed correctly and went down decisively, but he couldn't stop the goal; the ball rolled directly over the goal line and into the net.

"Deyang!!! ...

"Deyang!!! ...

"Deyang!!! ...

"Another iconic Dejan goal. I told you Dejan should go it alone. After giving up on creating opportunities for his teammates, Dejan dribbled past eight players and easily put the ball into the goal."

"With a series of short dribbles in the penalty area, Manchester United's top defenders were like puppets in front of Dejan, defending exactly as Dejan planned, making them always seem a step too slow. The beautiful waltz in the penalty area was accompanied by the Red Devils' death knell. Dejan, with his magical dance steps in the penalty area, once again dominated the fate of both teams."

Congratulations to Dejan Damjanović for leading Sampdoria to a successful defense of their UEFA Super Cup title!!!

Inside a British television station.

Jim Beglin and Martin Taylor kept shouting "unbelievable!" and "what a fantastic goal!" in English.

In this respect, they are not as good as Paul Rossi.

But this goal was truly unbelievable.

It's worth noting that even Maradona's legendary goal against England involved dribbling past his opponents from the halfway line all the way to the penalty area before scoring.

This time, Lu Deyang simply faced multiple defenders both in front of and inside the penalty area, repeatedly outmaneuvering them under such double-teaming.

Lu Deyang, who didn't celebrate much today, opened his arms and slid towards the corner flag after scoring a goal.

It stopped right next to the corner flagpole, leaving three scratches.

Precise and elegant.

Lu Deyang's passion ignited an even louder cheer from the Sampdoria fans.

They were going crazy.

Mancini followed with a sliding knee, but after sliding a little over a meter, he felt obstructed and got up, pretending that he hadn't encountered any problems.

They all surrounded Lu Deyang, shouting and yelling.

Even professional players would find it hard not to be captivated by the charm of this ball.

"Damn it, you bastard..."

"Deyang, oh my god, I really don't know what to say..."

"That was a beautiful shot!"

"my God!"

Lu Deyang stood up and hugged his teammates, saying, "Even the most beautiful goal is just a goal; winning the game is the more important thing."

Mancini: ...

Oh shit.

He will never be able to be like Lu Deyang in his lifetime.

Sure enough, his personality is as low-key as Baggio's; he's not one to seek the limelight.

"Dejan, the coach is going to be replaced again."

Redondo reminded him.

Lu Deyang turned his head and saw Chiesa with a complicated expression.

I don't understand why someone so young has so many emotions.

Lu Deyang walked directly to the sidelines.

Snapped,
clap clap-

A huge round of applause erupted at Ferraris Stadium.

Manchester United fans were also mixed in with them.

They did that in the last game, so it won't hurt to do it again today.

If Lu Deyang were no match for them, today's five goals would certainly have been well-deserved.

Even against opponents, it's hard to find fault with a player like that.

"Come on, Enrico!"

Lu Deyang hugged Chiesa before leaving the field.

Boskov immediately handed Lu Deyang a towel and helped him put on his training jacket.

They were worried that Lu Deyang might catch a cold.

Ferguson, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but purse his lips.

I don't know whether to criticize this colleague for being obsequious or to envy him for having such a strong player.

If Rudd-Yang were at Manchester United, he could also be a good-natured coach.

Damn Italians, they're fucking rich!

The Scottish coach couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness.

After rinsing his mouth, Lu Deyang stood on the sidelines for a while before returning to the bench.

He watched the video of the last game.

Today, his teammates clearly adapted to Manchester United's style of play, and even after he left the field, they didn't give Manchester United any chances.

Ferguson's answer did indeed surprise him.

Before halftime, he substituted Mark Hughes and Giggs to further strengthen the defense.

The match ended 5-0, with a total score of 9-3.

"champion!!!"

"champion!!!"

"champion!!!"

The Sampdoria fans erupted in excitement when the whistle blew.

As Europe's strongest champions, they just need to wait for time to come.

At this point, the Ferraris Stadium, and even Genoa, was filled with joy.

Standing on the sidelines, Ferguson looked at the fans with some envy. A few seconds later, he walked onto the field, helped his fallen players up, and put his arm around their shoulders to comfort them.

"Another championship!"

"Dejan and Sampdoria defeated Manchester United 9-3 on aggregate to win their second title of the season. Next, they will go to Tokyo to reclaim the Toyota Cup that belongs to Genoa, and then launch an attack on the Italian Cup, Serie A and the Champions League."

"It's a pity I haven't seen the Torino God Team, but I have seen the Genoa God Team. Even that terrifying Torino team couldn't be stronger than Dejan's Sampdoria, right?"

"No team other than this one made me feel at the start of the season that the championship belonged to them. That's the charm of football. But Sampdoria's terrifying dominance is killing all suspense and letting the world know that this is the era of Sampdoria's number seven!"

UEFA staff are busy setting up the venue.

Lu Deyang and his teammates returned to the tunnel entrance after thanking the crowd.

The Manchester United players, helped up by Ferguson, returned to the tunnel and rallied to receive their awards.

Every Red Devils who walked out of the tunnel couldn't help but look at Lu Deyang with complicated expressions.

Regardless of what they thought, Lu Deyang decided the European Super Cup with his own two feet.

Too strong!

Incomparably powerful!
Even just walking next to Lu Deyang, Steve Bruce felt short of breath.

He felt that the other person had left him with psychological trauma.

Especially the last goal, no matter how he defended, he couldn't stop Lu Deyang. His movement seemed to be exactly what Lu Deyang had planned.

What a terrifying guy.

Although thinking this way is somewhat cowardly.

But Steve Bruce really didn't want to see Lu Deyang again.

Fortunately, they are a League One team.

At this point, even the Red Devils captain felt a bit sorry for those Serie A teams.

He admired the Italian players' mental fortitude in facing such terrifying opponents at least twice a season and managing to play well until retirement.

After receiving his award with his teammates, Bruce quickly left.

He even restrained himself from looking back when he left, fearing that a glance back would lead the team to encounter Lu Deyang again next season.

The loser is eliminated.

The atmosphere at Ferraris Stadium became even more intense.

Pagliuca was the first to go up and receive her award.

Then there's Vialli.

Mancini deliberately avoided standing with Lu Deyang this time, and went to receive the award early.

To avoid seeing the UEFA president treating them differently.

When it was Lu Deyang's turn, Johansson took a step forward with a smile on his face.

This scene was witnessed by Mancini as he turned around, and he pursed his lips before leaving with his teammates.

“I knew this championship belonged to you, Dejan.”

"I said affectionately," Johansson said.

"We will lift the trophy again at the end of the season."

Lu Deyang said.

Johansson paused for a second, then immediately smiled and said, "Then I must congratulate you in advance on winning the Champions League this season, but Cruyff's Barcelona will be a tough opponent."

"Let them get into the finals first. We don't care about our opponents; anyone is fine with us."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Johansson smiled and nodded in agreement.

Lu Deyang is certainly qualified to say such things.

No matter how strong Barcelona is, how much stronger can they be than Real Madrid?

Even if they are twice as strong as Real Madrid, they might not have an advantage against Sampdoria.

After Johansson put the medal on Lu Deyang's head, Lu Deyang stepped down from the podium.

This time, he stood directly in the first row.

Mancini placed the trophy in front of him and said, "You can raise the trophy yourself. You were the one who created all the goals. I don't want to raise it, lest someone say I'm forcing myself to be a partner with you."

"You might as well just say it's me."

Vialli said.

"You're the idiot! You're just jealous of me!"

"Mancini shouted."

The two started arguing again.

As the countdown ended, Lu Deyang raised the trophy high.

In the reporter's lens, behind Lu Deyang were two Sampdoria forwards pushing each other's faces with their hands.

This photo is probably unique among all the championship photos.

Before Lu Deyang could even take a few photos with his teammates, Pezzotti came over and said, "UEFA is making you do a urine test on Deyang. Your performance today really scared them."

Lu Deyang nodded and walked over.

Damn, if every urine test could improve his skills, Lu Qiuwang might soon become the number one player in the universe.

Even though Serie A consciously reduced the number of urine tests he underwent, he still had to be tested quite a few times due to protests from his opponents.

They will basically take a urine test every two appearances.

In European competitions, this frequency reaches three-quarters of the time.

Lu Deyang wondered why these people couldn't face the difference in talent.
He went to the press conference after the urine test.

Boskov and Ferguson were already there answering reporters' questions.

Lu Deyang walked gently onto the stage and sat down next to Boskov.

"I don't want to explain that much," Ferguson said angrily. "I don't need to explain to you idiots either. Are you members of the Manchester United board? I will explain the reasons to Chairman Eduardo, but not to you now. We lost because Dejan was the better player. If any of you can help Manchester United buy Dejan, I can report to you every day what I ate, what I talked about with my wife at night, and what happened at the team. But can you do that?"

Boskov couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

This was the first time he had ever seen a coach swear at a press conference.

Lu Deyang, however, was not surprised.

Ferguson was relatively mild at this point, but later he would often use F-words to insult reporters.

But the reporter still had to interview him.

This is determined by the relationship between supply and demand.

He's newsworthy, so even reporters who curse him have to put up with it.

They barely survived Ferguson's wrath.

A reporter asked, "Dejan, you've always said Manchester United is very strong. Do you still think Manchester United will succeed?"

"of course."

Lu Deyang said with a smile, "If you saw how Manchester United players behaved after their loss, you'd know they're not so easy to beat. Mr. Ferguson will definitely strengthen the team. People who are good at learning are hard to defeat. Sooner or later, Manchester United will surprise everyone..."
