Chapter 186 The Battle of Constantinople (Please Subscribe)
"Manchester United made a substitution, with Dejan replacing Lee Sharpe, who had a positive performance today. After all, both Sharpe and Dejan are on the left wing. However, I think it would have been better to replace Hughes. Mark Hughes was like a Yorkshire Terrier that had just been neutered on the pitch today, posing no threat to Liverpool's defense."

"Ferguson clearly had some expectations, which is why he kept the last substitution until now."

"Dejan once created four goals in eight minutes when he was in Serie A. There are about two minutes left in stoppage time. Maybe he can really help Manchester United win the game."

Because Ferguson made Lu Deyang finish warming up, it took a little time.

There are only two minutes left in the game.

Unfortunately, Liverpool still had possession of the ball because of Sharp's foul.

As Lu Deyang ran onto the field, Liverpool manager Roy Evans immediately shouted: "Push forward and attack, don't let them dispossess you, create an attacking opportunity to end the game."

He studied many of Manchester United and Ludwig's matches.

It must be said that Redondo was an important figure.

Under his influence, Keane also showed considerable restraint and higher steal efficiency.

In this situation, keeping the ball in Manchester United's half is actually more dangerous. Liverpool is not the kind of team that can make quick passes; they must get the ball out into Manchester United's half.

Jones passed the ball forward, and McManaman got it directly.

This versatile forward is incredibly talented.

Evans clenched his fists tightly, muttering, "Right, Steve, hold the ball, don't give Manchester United any chances, keep possession..."

This is a Joe Kerr-esque player who is not injured, with excellent ball control and passing.

In particular, a quick pass can often find the striker before the opposing defenders can react.

Being slender naturally leads to greater flexibility.

Being able to draw with Manchester United after falling behind is already a pretty good achievement.

Moreover, Lu Deyang also took to the field.

A draw might be the best outcome.

Evans has no further expectations for the team.

If you accidentally score a goal, you can keep the accusation until the second half of the season when you meet again.

David May was about to press, but fearing McManaman would go down, he decided to take a free kick.

"I come!"

Redondo shouted and rushed forward quickly.

The physical style of the Premier League actually allows him to better leverage his strengths.

McManaman clearly knew how good Redondo was, so he quickly took possession of the ball, squeezed past May, and delivered a cross that went directly into the penalty area.

Parish immediately stepped in front of Ian Rush, but Bruce was bumped by Jamie Redknapp as he prepared to contest the header.

His father is Harry Redknapp, who is also Lampard's uncle.

At a crucial moment, Schmeichel rushed out of the penalty area and punched the ball away.

"Run!!!"

Schmeichel shouted.

Keane was hit on the shoulder by Zani Moby as soon as he got the ball.

"Spread the word, don't fall for it!"

Seeing this, Ferguson shouted loudly.

Keane then passed the ball forward.

Lu Deyang, who had just come on the field, immediately took a big step forward and received the ball next to John Skiles and Jones, with Neil Rudock trailing behind.

Cantona was making quick forward runs, but after playing one game, he was already a bit tired.

This is a derby.

Every collision consumes a lot of energy.

Fortunately, Lu Deyang was very steady with the ball and didn't need his teammates to support him. He just kept carrying the ball all the way to Liverpool's penalty area.

Neil Rudock, with his menacing face, wanted to end the fight outside the penalty area.

Lu Deyang also had this idea.

click -

With a shoulder feint and footwork, he twice pretended to dribble past Ludjohn, preventing Ruddok from immediately blocking Ludjohn's path. Skiles then took the opportunity to rush to Ludjohn's right side.

But even this brief opportunity was enough for Lu Deyang.

boom--

Before the two could finish closing in, Lu Deyang flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot.

This gave Ludok, who had finally run up to him, another opening, and Ludok took a shot.

The bow is drawn as full as a full moon, and the arrow flies like a shooting star.

The ball flew quickly between Ruddock and Skiles, but then plummeted towards the goal. David James clearly hadn't anticipated this and lunged too high, only able to watch the ball fly into the net from mid-air.

"yeah!!!!!!!!"

Impatient fans in the corner of the goal area jumped up from their seats and cheered.

As soon as the referee blew his whistle, cheers completely drowned out the noise from the stadium.

The goal pointed towards the center circle is valid.

Immediately afterwards, two short and one long whistle sounded.

The match is over!

Killer! ! !

The substitutes rushed onto the field to celebrate wildly, and Schmeichel ran all the way onto the field.

The cheers and laughter of the away fans filled Anfield.

The owner of this stadium could only sit on the grass and watch all of this quietly.

There's nothing more disheartening than losing a game in the final moments.

"Dejan, in the last two minutes, he indeed managed to snatch a victory from Liverpool. He made Liverpool taste defeat, defended Manchester United's honor, and helped Manchester United continue to lead the race for the title."

"Yes, Dejan's efficiency was astonishing. There were three defenders on the counter-attack, but he showed amazing composure. Throughout the entire process, Dejan didn't even consider passing to his teammates or checking their positions."

"Perhaps in crucial moments, he can only trust himself. And as it turns out, Dejan is the most trustworthy player in such important matches, without a doubt!"

Lu Deyang clapped at the surrounding stands and walked towards the south stand with his teammates.

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

Manchester United fans kept chanting Lu Deyang's name.

Passionate.

His red jersey made Lu Deyang's face appear even whiter, perhaps due to prolonged bed rest.

He doesn't look much older than the kids on the youth team, but he's the best player in the world.

Today's game once again proved Lu Deyang's decisiveness on the field.

too strong!
Fans who had previously questioned Ferguson now wished they could kneel before the team's manager and admit their mistakes.

Whether it's the changes in the team or this risky signing.

All of this proves that Ferguson is a success, and those who question him will become a laughing stock.

Those youth team players who rushed onto the field also gave them a glimpse into the more distant future.

Lu Deyang arrived at the press conference after his urine test.

Ferguson was clearly excited and sat there chatting happily with the reporters.

Lu Deyang sat down directly next to him.

"...As you all know, matches against Liverpool are never easy. We just beat the King of Liverpool not long ago, and now we've snatched a last-minute victory against them. This is obviously very exciting."

Ferguson said.

"Liverpool is only in sixth place right now, is it still special to you?"

the reporter asked.

“If you weren’t British, I might forgive you, but to ask that question is simply idiotic. This is a derby, idiot!” Ferguson cursed.

Many reporters chuckled to themselves.

The reporter, his face flushed, sat back down.

"If the problems continue as before, this press conference will now conclude."

Ferguson said.

"Dejan, why weren't you in the starting lineup today?"

The reporters immediately changed their targets.

"It's for the team's tactics. Whether I'm starting or on the bench, it's the same for me. When I'm on the field, I have to play well," Lu Deyang said.

Don't you think your playing time is too short?

The reporter pressed for an answer.

"The school will only give you one exam paper and won't care how long it takes you to finish it or whether you get a perfect score, right?"

Lu Deyang asked.

Many people laughed out loud.

efficient!

Lu Deyang's efficiency is indeed astonishing.

"Some fans think that you only score for a limited period of time, and your performance won't be as good if you play the whole game. Do you think that's a problem?"

The reporter pressed for an answer.

"Maybe so. After all, I can score a hat-trick in 4 minutes, but I can't score more than 70 goals in a whole game. If that fan finds a way to improve, please let me know. I also want to try to improve myself and score dozens of goals in a game."

Lu Deyang said.

Are you currently facing any difficulties in the UK?

the reporter asked.

"There are always more solutions than problems. Apart from the weather in Manchester, I don't have much to complain about. You know, last match day I saw three showers in one hour."

Lu Deyang said helplessly.

The reporters nodded in agreement.

Britain experiences frequent showers.

"We rarely see news about you and your teammates going out together in the newspapers. Is it because you don't like them that much?"

one reporter asked.

Ferguson couldn't help but frown.

Lu Deyang shook his head and said, "I just arrived in England and I still have a lot to do. My comics have also started to resume serialization recently. Besides, the weather doesn't support us having too many outdoor activities. If you know of a suitable day for a picnic, please let us know."

"Alright, that concludes the press conference."

Ferguson said firmly, and stood up abruptly.

As the two walked back, Ferguson said, "Actually, you don't have to answer them. As long as you're the winner, it doesn't matter if you curse them."

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded.

11月25日，1:0小胜诺维奇后，曼联结束了11月的比赛。

Things were a bit strange on the days off.

Lu Deyang sat at his desk working on his manuscript, while Kumagai Genden sat quietly beside him, assisting him.

Monica and the princess, who had just returned from Italy, went shopping.

"Kumagai, don't you think Weekly Shonen Jump should give me a prettier female editor?" Lu Deyang said while drawing.

"Teacher, if you've ever watched 'Crayon Shin-chan,' you'll know how difficult it is to work with a female editor."

Kumagai Gennori said with a smile.

That comic book started serialization in 90, and recently it just happened to be serialized up to the story of the cartoonist who married his female assistant in the anime.

"Your emotional stability is also one of your strengths."

Lu Deyang said.

At least that's how this guy always is.

I've never seen him get angry, which is a good thing.

"Teacher, should we prepare some exciting plot points for your return?" Kumagai Genten asked.

"What an exciting plot? Xiaochuan and Archer both fall in love with a Mewtwo, and after a falling out and fierce battle, they finally reconcile and live happily ever after with their Pokémon?"

Lu Deyang asked with a smile.

Genden Kumagai had a dark expression on his face.

Is this content intended for children?
“What I mean is to create a new enemy, someone extremely powerful, or to give Musashi a tragic and pitiful past,” Kumagai Genten said.

"I'll think about it."

Lu Deyang said.

He prefers stability to excitement.

"How about I draw a theatrical version? I've finally recovered from my injury, so shouldn't the readers go to the cinema to support me?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"Of course!"

Kumagai Genten nodded firmly and said.

"Alright, it's decided then. We'll still use Izumi for the OST. Find me some director profiles, and I'll choose a suitable candidate. Then you can go back and discuss this with Shogakukan."

Lu Deyang said.

The first one should be "Mewtwo Strikes Back".

However, Teacher Lu is going to talk about Pikachu.

Why does an ordinary electric mouse suddenly unleash such amazing power?

What kind of past does it have?

I believe those children won't reject this movie.

We'll arrange "Mewtwo Strikes Back" in the second part.

The first Pokémon movie was the pinnacle, and none of the subsequent movies have surpassed its box office performance.

But that's not a problem.

Most importantly, it can continuously increase the value of the IP, while box office revenue is not so important.

Besides, King Lu has already entered the Hall of the Dead once, so this movie should at least have a boost in box office revenue, right?

Twenty years from now, when the theatrical version is released in China, everyone will owe Lu Qiu Wang a movie ticket.

The match against Crystal Palace on December 2nd ended in a 0-0 draw.

However, this did not affect the mood of the Manchester United players.

At Gary Neville's repeated invitations, Lu Deyang and Redondo decided to play billiards with them during the holidays.

We met the next morning.

Only the Neville brothers and Beckham.

Gary Neville quipped, "Nikki and Paul are both going on dates."

"Isn't Giggs playing with you guys?" Redondo asked.

“He’s two years older than us, and he’s always been secretive and likes to act alone,” Gary Neville said nonchalantly.

They weren't even adults when they were in the youth team, except for Giggs.

"Actually, November is a good time to go to the Hyde Park Carnival, and you can also watch the fireworks."

Beckham said.

"Okay, David, you have a very girlish heart."

Gary Neville scoffed.

Beckham's face flushed with annoyance.

Young people are at an age where they care a lot about their image.

"You can teach him a lesson when you play billiards. He's so accurate at kicking the ball, but he can't do it without using his hands," Lu Deyang said with a smile.

puff-

Gary Neville burst out laughing.

Beckham is not as good as him in this respect.

If it weren't for the discomfort of being on the team, one could even hang out with the team without spending any money.

However, Ferguson would be at work even when the players were on holiday, and nobody wanted to play billiards under Ferguson's nose.

If you only want one table, you can also have fun at a fan bar.

However, the five of them still chose the billiards hall near Piccadilly metro station.

£4 an hour isn't cheap, and the environment is rather basic. The main attraction is the abundance of pool tables and the option to play snooker.

"Haha, Dejan, you're not very good at pool."

Gary Neville said after taking down Black Eight.

"I'm really not very good at it."

Lu Deyang said.

"How about a couple of exciting games so I can make some money off the big stars?" Gary Neville urged, as he was saving up to buy a car.

“Okay, let’s go small, a thousand pounds a ball,” Lu Deyang said.

The Neville brothers and Beckham were all stunned.

Philip Neville quickly tugged at his brother's arm.

Even if Lu Deyang is rich, you can't just invite someone out to gamble and win tens of thousands of pounds, can you?
Gary Neville shoved his brother aside and excitedly said, "Okay, then it'll be £1000 a ball."

It seems he can just buy a luxury car.

"Are you alright?"

Beckham asked with concern.

£1000 for a ball? That's outrageous!

Just a few years ago, he was still on an £80 contract.

Redondo smiled and shook his head.

He had never seen Lu Deyang lose money.

Lu Deyang is certainly not good at everything, but he would never agree to a prize for a game he's not good at.

Redondo felt that Lu Deyang had deliberately lost to Gary Neville.

Gary Neville won the first game easily by 5 points, and he waved and shouted, "A dozen beers for every table, on me!"

The atmosphere in the billiards hall immediately became lively.

Many people whistled at Neville.

Most people who play billiards in broad daylight are unemployed.

"Gary, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Don't worry, Deyang has plenty of money."

Gary Neville said with a grin.

But Lu Deyang cleared the table in one shot.

“It was luck, wasn’t it?” Gary Neville asked, unconvinced.

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded.

"Come again!"

Gary Neville said.

The two players traded wins and losses for the next few frames, but after the fifth frame, Gary Neville only had the chance to break.

I played for 3 hours.

After Lu Deyang paid the bill, Gary Neville tremblingly signed his name on the IOU.

£70,000!

Even if he renews his contract with the team, it will be difficult for him to earn that much in a year.

On the way to the restaurant, Gary Neville said with a long face, "Dejan, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"Yes."

Lu Deyang said directly.

"Then can we not take it?" Gary Neville asked with some anticipation.

"No, although I won money, you also gained something."

Lu Deyang said, "This is a very fair thing."

"What did I get?"

"Big Neville asked."

"lesson!"

Lu Deyang said.

Philippe and Beckham were laughing heartily on the side.

It was hilarious to see Gary Neville fail. The story spread throughout the team the next day, and even Ferguson overheard it.

The Scottish coach said nothing.

Instead, he invited Gary Neville to play pool with him.

He used to own a bar, and he would play this game every day there.

Playing with young people is just bullying them.

After training in the afternoon, in the locker room.

"I think this sentence should be hung at the entrance of the youth team: You've learned your lesson."

Robson joked.

“We certainly learned our lesson,” Bruce said with a smile. “Don’t you know who Dejan is? His shop sells more fried chicken in a day than you’d eat in a lifetime. And you think you can make money off a big capitalist?”

"Don't talk nonsense, I am a people's entrepreneur."

Lu Deyang quickly said.

What capitalist? We don't know them at all.

"You need to teach them a lesson in the Champions League the day after tomorrow," Robson said.

"Yes, teach them a lesson."

Erwin nodded and said.

Both of them had serious expressions.

"I will handle it."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

He knew very well what had happened.

The opponent was Galatasaray, and that match went quite badly.

When Lu Deyang got home, he saw the news reports about that match.

Last year, about 1000 Manchester United fans traveled to the away game, but they were attacked. The hotel could not guarantee their safety, their camera and DV storage devices were stolen, and all the fans' passports were stamped with "deportation" stamps.

On television, a deaf-mute woman in her fifties and several elderly people are being interviewed.

A retired elderly woman told the camera: "It was terrible. The players were beaten by the police, and we were not allowed to record anything on the field. If I had another chance, I would not go to Turkey to watch the game even if I was given £10,000. The game was full of controversy. On the way back, we were treated badly. The TV station thought we were thugs. We could only defend ourselves in front of the camera. The deportation was resolved a few days later, but some people were detained in Turkey for a month."

The Sun was more efficient than television.

They somehow got hold of the previous photos and posted one of British fans being besieged in a pub.

The opposing team clearly outnumbered the fans, who were trapped in the bar and could only try to protect themselves by using chairs as shields.

Lu Deyang felt very strange.

Whether it was the previous tragedy or last year's Champions League.

The British are eager to smear their own people.

The story about Liverpool fans stealing a deceased person's wallet and urinating on the deceased was fabricated by the British media.

Liverpool fans never forgave The Sun.

The same thing happened in last year's Champions League; without knowing the truth, the British also labeled those fans as rioters.

Let alone ordinary fans, even British football hooligans seem gentle and adorable compared to the Turks.

Lu Deyang recalls that the referee for that match was later banned for life for accepting $40 from Galatasaray, but the fact that Manchester United were eliminated in a 3-3 draw remains unchanged.

No wonder the first-team players were so excited.

I guess they'll get another bad experience playing away in the first round of the group stage.

Playing football in a place like that, your personal safety is not guaranteed.

Police and on-site security personnel physically assaulted Manchester United players.

The atmosphere during training these past two days has been serious.

Lu Deyang also heard more from his teammates, such as Turkish fans bringing a full-size coffin onto the stands to intimidate them.

The fans are also very excited about this.

December 7th arrived, the final round of the Champions League group stage.

If Manchester United doesn't lose this round, or if Barcelona doesn't win, Manchester United will be guaranteed to finish first in the group.

However, this match has already surpassed his original 3 points, and for Manchester United players, it's a matter of dignity.

While changing clothes in the locker room, everyone was thinking about how to celebrate the goal.

After putting on his shoes, Lu Deyang chose to participate in the lucky draw.

[Your good brother Gianluca Pagliuca only likes to stay in the penalty area, so draw a player who likes to leave his position. Ding! You have obtained a single-match trial card for the 2013-2014 FIFA Club World Cup Final, Bayern Munich vs. Raja Casablanca, featuring Manuel Neuer.]

Damn it.

After walking the dark so many times, I finally saw a ghost.

This was the first time Lu Deyang had drawn the goalkeeper position.

He made his decision almost instantly and asked directly, "How about I kick the goalkeeper? It would be more satisfying to win the game that way."

"Okay."

Schmeichel said with a smile.

But his smile froze the next second, and he stared at Lu Deyang, asking, "Are you serious?"

"Ok!"

Lu Deyang nodded and said.

"That's a great idea, I support Dejan!"

Cantona said immediately.

"If we lose, we'll become a laughing stock."

Schmeichel said.

“I believe in Dejan,” Redondo said.

"Even if we lose, it doesn't matter. Being second in the group won't affect our chances of winning the championship," Robson said.

The main reason is that Lu Deyang has never lost, and he believes that even if Lu Deyang were to play as a goalkeeper, he would be a world-class player.

"Okay, I have no objection. You guys are responsible for persuading the boss later."

Schmeichel shrugged.

Not starting in one game is not a big deal.

His main concern was that Lu Deyang would embarrass himself.

The goalkeeper position requires a lot of basic training; it's not enough to just have good positional adaptability. The training for goalkeepers is completely different from that of other players.

"Don't worry, Peter, Dejan won't do anything foolish."

Cantona said.

He had boundless confidence in Lu Deyang.

During his most disheartening period, Marseille was making great strides.

It was Lu Deyang who stepped forward and taught his former employer a lesson, finally allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if Lu Deyang wanted to play as a goalkeeper, or even if he wanted to coach the team, he believed Lu Deyang could do a good job.

Shortly after attending the press conference, Ferguson returned to the locker room and, seeing the players sitting there, asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong?"

"Dejan demands the goalkeeper be kicked today."

Bruce said directly.

"Alright, then Dejan will kick the goalkeeper."

Ferguson said.

The fact that it was so quick surprised everyone.

Ferguson looked at his disciples with a hint of smugness.

Because of Cantona, he had long anticipated what outrageous demands the players might make.

To be considerate of Cantona's feelings, he made preparations in advance and immediately agreed to try to find a solution.

It came in handy today.

Thinking about it carefully, even in the worst-case scenario, if Manchester United loses and Barcelona wins, and they finish second in the group, it won't have much impact on Manchester United's overall performance.

The only problem is that Lu Deyang and he might become a laughing stock in the media because of this.

That little bit of pressure was nothing to him.

However, he was still somewhat worried about Lu Deyang.

If they really lost, Ferguson decided to take the blame himself and say it was his arrangement.

We can't let players of this age, who care a lot about their image, lose face.

“Go warm up, Peter. If you don’t get a chance to play today, just tell the media that you and Kevin both have the flu and are too weak.”

Ferguson said.

The Kevin he was referring to was Kevin Pilkington.

"no problem."

Schmeichel nodded and said.

He also has high expectations for Lu Deyang's performance in this match.

This match was surprising from the very beginning, starting with the warm-up.

Lu Deyang put on a green jersey and warmed up in front of the goal. To everyone's surprise, Lu Deyang performed quite well in front of the goal during the warm-up.

This relieved Ferguson and the Manchester United players.

"I told you long ago, the Turks should be the ones who are nervous."

Redondo said dismissively.

He believed that Lu Deyang never did anything he wasn't sure of, except when rescuing people.

"The Turks are going to lose face after winning today."

Cantona said with a sinister tone.

Last year in Türkiye, he was hit several times by a security guard.

He kept this matter in his heart.

Cantona was not a magnanimous person; if his life hadn't been in real danger, he would have fought back.

"We'll see."

Redondo said.

"Both teams have returned to the tunnel, but we already know that a huge surprise awaits us on the field today."

"Yes, Dejan is in goal. Schmeichel doesn't look very energetic; he's probably injured. It's quite rare to see him sitting on the bench with Pilkington."

"We'll know the result once the match starts, but let's take a look at the starting lineups for both sides first."

Manchester United's 4-4-2 formation with two holding midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Lu Deyang

Defenders: Irwin, Bruce, Pallister, Gary Neville

Midfielders: Simon Davies, Keane, Scholes, Redondo, Beckham
Forward: Cantona.

Galatasaray's 3-5-2 defensive midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Quintalas Stos

Defenders: Mert Korkmaz, Sedat Balkanli, Brent Korkmaz
Midfielders: Hamza Hamzaoglu, Suwat Kaya, Karimoglu Tugay, Ergun Pembe, Arif Erdem,

Forwards: Hakan Suker, Kubile Turkirmaz.

"The rivalry between the two sides runs deep, and Manchester United fans do not welcome the away team in today's match."

"That's for sure. Manchester United fans were treated inhumanely in Istanbul. Judging from the away fans' stand, it seems that Manchester United fans didn't do anything to the away fans. In comparison, Manchester United players were more civilized."

"However, it would be very interesting if Dejan could win the game with him in goal."

At 7:30 p.m., referee Richard Wolkik from Poland blew the whistle to start the match.

The opponents got into the game earlier than Manchester United.

Galatasaray were quite active in the opening stages, and the Turkish players had decent footwork.

They orchestrated attacks by passing the ball around the midfield.

After receiving the ball, Tugue launched a long, low ground shot that reached behind Manchester United's defense.

Gary Neville was still chasing back when he saw Lu Deyang rush out of the penalty area. Before Neville could figure out what was going on, Lu Deyang slid in and cleanly tackled the ball out of bounds right in front of him. Eldem was forced to jump to avoid colliding with Lu Deyang.

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

A huge cheer erupted in the Theatre of Dreams.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a clean and efficient goalkeeper.

It's like they've been specially trained to tackle.

Neither goalkeeping nor tackling should be done by Lu Deyang.

"Wow, what a beautiful tackle. It seems Ferguson knew Dejan had this ability all along, making a decisive move and giving the Turk no chance... The Erdem player threw the ball in, Hakan Suker received it and tried to lob it into the penalty area, Dejan rushed out of the six-yard box, outmuscled Turkilmaz, caught the ball, and immediately threw it out... That was really far!"

Neither team's players expected that Lu Deyang's throw would cross the halfway line; Cantona was a step too slow, and the ball ended up at the feet of the opposing defender.

Cantona could only turn around and gesture from a distance, indicating that it was his problem.

"Hey buddy, how did you develop that strength?"

"Irwin asked in surprise."

He wasn't a talkative person, but this really startled him.

Even Schmeichel's throws weren't this outrageous.

Irwin suspected that if Lu Deyang really put in the effort, he might throw the ball directly into the opponent's goal.

"intrinsic."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Gary Neville winked at Lu Deyang.

It's obvious they're not thinking about anything serious.

Both sides played aggressively today, with very intense pressing in midfield.

Both teams' defenders also pushed forward.

This actually gave Lu Deyang more room to maneuver.

Redondo passed the ball back, and Lu Deyang launched a long pass directly to the front. Simon Davis crossed from the byline, but Brent Korkmaz blocked the cross, resulting in a corner kick.

Manchester United players immediately crowded into the penalty area.

They were afraid of missing the chance to score.

The players from both sides engaged in a fierce battle for the ball in the penalty area.

Beckham took the corner kick after a run-up, and the ball was very well delivered. However, Bruce's header hit Kaya, and Scholes' follow-up shot was blocked by Balkanli.

The ball flew high out of the penalty area, and Eldem turned to the side and tried to pass the ball forward with the inside of his foot.

At that moment, a green figure appeared in the center circle.

Lu Deyang!
boom--

Lu Deyang headed the ball back into Galatasaray's half before Hakan Suker could react, and Redondo took a long-range shot that was blocked out of bounds by the opposing goalkeeper Stos.

"Oh my god, Dejan!!!"

"Dejan showed amazing control from the start. He's not a goalkeeper at all; he's a free man in the goalkeeper position. This kind of goalkeeper is really exciting."

Dream Theatre is like an erupting volcano.

The fans weren't concerned about the upcoming corner kick; they were all excitedly discussing Lu Deyang's header from the previous goal.

The goalkeeper rushed to the center circle and headed the ball—that's fucking outrageous!

It was precisely at the crucial moment that it thwarted the opponent's counterattack.

Today, Lu Deyang's playing style was as if the team had a top-class defensive midfielder in the backfield.

Lu Deyang's two crucial ball handling decisions reassured the Manchester United players, who then began to press forward more aggressively in attack.

Try to score more goals to defeat the opponent.

In the 14th minute, Balkanli sent a long ball into the attacking third. Bruce ran alongside Suker and waited for his chance, only to see Lu Deyang rush out of the penalty area again.

Suk, who was adjusting the ball's trajectory, was startled and saw Lu Deyang jump up and kick the ball away from him with an unconventional move.

The ball wasn't cleared very far and ended up at Eldem's feet.

Eldem quickly dribbled forward, shaking off Redondo's marking, and then lofted the ball into the penalty area.

He wanted to take advantage of Lu Deyang's absence from the front door to create a murderous opportunity.

However, Lu Deyang had already returned to the penalty area, and he jumped up and easily caught the ball.

Ferguson couldn't help but laugh and said, "No matter what position he plays, Dejan is always the focus on the field. I can guarantee that the cameras have been filming Dejan the whole time."

Kidd nodded.

Damn, even a retired player like him got so excited watching it.

Lu Deyang has completely transformed the goalkeeper position into a highly entertaining one.

Schmeichel and Pilkington on the bench looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two goalkeepers, who have played together for over 30 years, have never seen or imagined that any goalkeeper would play like this.

Goalkeepers do occasionally rush out of the penalty area in dangerous situations.

However, more often than not, they would choose to wait in front of the goal, looking for an opportunity to save the opponent's one-on-one chance.

Lu Deyang, on the other hand, didn't give the opponent a single chance, and ended the battle directly outside the penalty area.

This is truly a method they had never considered before.

Lu Deyang, who had just caught the ball, threw it to Irwin. Irwin had barely received the ball when he was blocked on the wing by Eldem, who tore at the Manchester United full-back's shirt in an attempt to steal it.

Some referees, unable to stand it any longer, called a foul and warned, "If you play like this, I'll have to issue a card."

He watched that game last year.

If the referee has no problem, he can eat shit.

Someone called him before the match today, not asking him to do anything, but just to remain fair.

Eldem walked back dejectedly.

Irwin and his teammates ran forward together.

Lu Deyang positioned himself at the foul point, preparing to launch a long ball; both teams were choosing the most likely landing spot.

opportunity!

Seeing the opposing goalkeeper's position, Lu Deyang had a sudden inspiration.

His main concern wasn't a lack of power, but rather the need to control it.

He has acquired many skills that enhance his strength, so kicking 90 meters in this static position is no problem at all.

After making a rough assessment, Lu Deyang took a running start and swung his leg out.

boom--

Fans in the nearby stands heard a loud noise.

All 7+ fans in the stadium looked up at the sky.

The ball soared high above the halfway line, its momentum undiminished.

Oh no, it's a shot!

Stos has already discovered the problem.

However, the ball landed just outside the penalty area.

This hesitation led him to the best opportunity.

boom--

The ball slammed into the penalty area and bounced up again, flying over Stowe's head and into the goal.

stunned!

The Manchester United players were more surprised than their opponents.

They didn't expect Lu Deyang to score directly from the backfield.

After a brief silence, they ran back frantically.

Get ready to celebrate this goal with the hero who scored it.

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

A huge cheer erupted at Dream Theatre.

Manchester United fans were like zombies in a movie, wildly waving everything in their hands to vent their excitement.

That was awesome! A free kick from the backfield found the back of the net.

They thought Lu Deyang was at most a bit worse than Schmeichel in the goalkeeper position.

Unexpectedly, Lu Deyang was directly relegated to a free agent position.

Just when they thought the free-roaming backcourt was the limit, Lu Deyang gave them a huge surprise.

Wearing the goalkeeper's jersey, number 7 seems to have no limits...
