If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 193 Redondo, the Master of Languages ​​(Please Subscribe)
How do you kick this ball?
Trapattoni wouldn't either.

With the score at 5-1, Matthäus received a red card for assaulting a teammate.

Substitute players, focus on defense.

Both forwards have to be substituted today.

Hopefully, Ferguson will give us some face.

The Italian coach immediately called on the two defenders to warm up.

540 strikerless formation, activated!

"Dejan, the coach is going to replace you again."

Redondo pointed to the sidelines and said.

Lu Deyang did indeed see Giggs.

This belongs to the Chiesa branch.

Lu Deyang walked directly to the sidelines.

Applause erupted at the Munich Olympic Stadium.

This made Lu Deyang slow down and applaud the stands.

"That's so cool!"

Beckham said, his eyes wide.

They even managed to get applause from the away fans.

"This is the second time. Dejan also received applause here last time."

Redondo said, "Isn't it only right to thank Dejan for giving them a fantastic match?"

Beckham looked up at the scoreboard.

He felt that Bayern fans wouldn't consider this a dream match.

"Go for it, Ryan."

Lu Deyang and Giggs high-fived and then left the stage.

Ferguson took the towel from Kidd and handed it to Lu Deyang, asking, "Was there a problem with that last move?"

"Nothing."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"Let the team doctor... never mind, we'll just go to the hospital when we get back to England."

Ferguson said.

It would be bad if there were any internal injuries; early detection and treatment are crucial.

To avoid Lu Deyang being injured and sidelined for an extended period.

Lu Deyang did not refuse.

The match ended 7-1, meaning Bayern Munich wouldn't need to play a second leg.

If Manchester United hadn't been so lenient, the score could have been in double digits.

Bayern's morale is very low with one player missing.

"Deyang, the urine test is done."

Kidd shouted.

Lu Deyang stood up with a smile.

Ferguson glanced at Lu Deyang and said, "Deyang, you don't need to go to the press conference later. Mattus's matter is a bit sensitive today, so let Fernando go instead."

Lu Deyang looked at Redondo and nodded.

Lu Qiuwang was quite confident in his good friend, who was no ordinary person, and he approached UEFA officials.

Ferguson, pulling Redondo along, walked toward the press room and said, "We'll try to answer only questions related to the game."

"Our bloodbath against Bayern?"

"Redondo asked."

"Ahem..." Ferguson said with a smile, "Take it a step further."

“Well, Bayern went all out, but we were better,” Redondo said.

Ferguson rolled his eyes.

Forget it, let him be.

He's at least better than Erwin; I don't want to say a word.

When the two arrived at the press conference, Trapattoni had not yet arrived.

It's estimated that the renowned Italian coach is dealing with locker room issues.

With something this big happening, Hoeneß will probably rush straight to the locker room.

Ferguson couldn't help but laugh when he thought about this.

At least at Manchester United, Martin Eduardo is absolutely not allowed to enter the dressing room without his permission, which makes managing Manchester United better than managing Bayern Munich.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Trapattoni hurriedly arrived.

The Italian coach's suit was somewhat disheveled, as if he had been in a conflict with someone.

The reporters' eyes lit up.

"Giovanni, did a player get into a fight with you in the locker room?"

"Mr. Trapattoni, will Matthäus be punished?"

"Mr. Ferguson, what's your assessment of Dejan's performance today?"

"Fernando, why do you think Matthäus would hit his teammate?"

"Let's talk about Bayern's red card in today's match, Alex."

"Mr. Trapattoni, between Scholl and Matthäus, who do you think you would choose?"

"..."

Reporters were clearly more interested in the internal strife within Bayern Munich today.

This made Trapattoni feel even worse.

He pulled the microphone over and said, "Some unpleasant things happened in today's game, but that's how it is on the pitch. Sometimes players are in a state of extreme passion and they can't control what they do, like Cantona before. I believe Mr. Ferguson is well aware of this."

Your mother!!!

Ferguson really didn't expect this.

And then there's the Cantona affair.

He had originally intended not to kick someone when they were down.

However, since the other party has deliberately provoked him, he can't just let it go unpunished.

Ferguson said, "Eric's situation is different from the internal strife at Bayern Munich today..."

The very first sentence sets the tone.

Don't try to fool me; you're having internal strife!

Ferguson then added, "Eric's family was insulted, which is something we absolutely cannot allow. As a coach, I don't support Eric's actions, but as a father, I admire Eric's courage in defending his family's reputation; he's a fighter. As for the internal strife at Bayern, I'm not too sure. They always make the news, not because of anything sporting, which is definitely not a good thing."

The reporters excitedly held up their recording pens.

Very good!
They like coaches like Ferguson.

"There is no infighting at Bayern, it's just that the players had some disagreements about the game."

Trapattoni offered a weak explanation.

"Giovanni, then who will be punished, Scholl or Matthäus?"

A German journalist asked.

This is a very sensitive issue.

Right or wrong doesn't matter; what matters is who Bayern will side with.

They all knew it.

Trapattoni frowned and said, "I'm not aware of this yet. We'll discuss it at our meeting later."

"After you go to play Manchester United away, will you celebrate at the hotel again?"

The reporter pressed for an answer.

Trapattoni snorted and stood up abruptly.

Bayern Munich does have this tradition, but what's the point of celebrating it now?

The reporter was clearly looking for trouble, and staying would only embarrass him.

"Mr. Ferguson, what's your assessment of Scholl's tackle from the side and behind, where he deliberately kicked Dejan?" the reporter asked, shifting the focus.

“This is the worst number 10 I’ve ever seen. Maradona would also make tackles, but he wouldn’t lift his foot after the opponent had passed him. I don’t want to give any advice to a great club like Bayern. But a player who can’t control his emotions will never be a good playmaker. If it were me, I would try to buy a new number 10 from France, Italy, or another German team.”

Ferguson said sincerely.

Many reporters were amused.

This guy really holds a grudge; he only kicked him once, and he told Bayern Munich they'd better give up on Scholl.

If that flying tackle from behind lands squarely, wouldn't it send the player straight to the gallows?
“The coach is right, that Scholl is indeed not very good.” Redondo shrugged and said, “When I played in Italy, I encountered phenomenal players like Donadoni and Baggio, who could change the game on their own. If Baggio or Maradona were at Bayern today, we wouldn’t be able to play so easily. A team’s core player is too important, just look at Dejan.”

"You mean Scholl is inferior to Donadoni and Baggio?"

The reporter asked excitedly.

Redondo nodded directly and said, "I don't like to talk badly about people behind their backs, but I've faced many teams in the Champions League, such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Red Star Belgrade, and even Bayern before... Laudrup or Savicevic could cause us a lot of trouble, but today we only need to defend against Matthäus and Kostadinov. When you wear the number 10 jersey, you have to be able to help the team. Obviously, I didn't feel the strength of Bayern's number 10 today. Maybe he's a genius, but he's not in good form today. I'm looking forward to his performance when he comes off the field."

Ferguson almost couldn't hold back.

He had always thought Redondo was a quiet person.

I didn't expect him to speak in such a sarcastic and insinuating way.

Judging from the style of his press conferences, Ferguson prefers Redondo's style.

Whether facing reporters or opponents, there's no need to be overly polite to them.

What's your take on Matthäus's red card?

The reporter pressed for an answer.

Redondo said, "It's never too late to realize your mistakes and correct them immediately."

"Shakespeare?"

The reporter continued, "Dejan and Matthäus don't have a good relationship. Matthäus even commented on Dejan in the newspaper when he was still with Inter Milan. Do you think his violence against Scholl today was because of Dejan?"

Redondo said, "Dejan is an artist on the pitch, and everyone should understand that. It's an honor to play alongside such a great player, whether as a teammate or an opponent. Self-criticism is as essential to us as sunlight, air, and water. I think Matthäus realized his previous mistakes, and that's why he stepped in to stop his teammate's atrocity today. This is a great change, and from this we know that Lothar Matthäus is not a bad person..."

After speaking, Redondo stood up, bowed, and then turned to leave.

Ferguson smiled, shook his head, and followed.

This disciple is really something else.

As he walked toward the locker room, Ferguson raised his question: "Why didn't the reporters react at all to your last answer?"

"Perhaps I'm a little worried, because I didn't quote Shakespeare this time."

Redondo said with a smile.

"Who is that?"

"Stalin!"

Ferguson: ...

Hahaha!
The old Scottish man laughed heartily in the passageway.

He really likes Redondo so much!

Manchester United flew directly back to Manchester that very evening.

But the controversy surrounding this match is not over yet.

With so much happening, the media is having another frenzy.

Lu Deyang returned home after agreeing to go to the hospital with Ferguson the next day.

After a major battle and continuous travel, the Manchester United players fell asleep shortly after returning home.

Only Lu Deyang is still working hard to fulfill Henry's wish for a younger brother.

He was busy until 3 a.m. before he finally decided to rest. He couldn't stay up any longer, because Ferguson would be coming to his door tomorrow.

He had just fallen asleep.

Newspapers, still smelling of ink, were placed in the most prominent position at the newsstand.

European media outlets are giving it extensive coverage.

The Times: "A 7-1 thrashing of Bayern Munich, the Red Devils once again reign supreme in Europe. Sir Matt Busby would be pleased to see this from heaven. Manchester United have a new leader after Bobby Charlton."

The Guardian: "Arsenal's new French manager says he almost signed Dejan, but we still want to ask, who is Wenger?"

The Sun: "A fierce conflict broke out in the Bayern Munich dressing room after the match against Manchester United. This time, Matthäus was not completely isolated, and the spoiled Scholl was clearly not a favorite of the Bayern players. Being reprimanded by Matthäus did not affect Scholl's good mood, and he was seen partying at P1 Disco on Schwabing Straße after the match."

Bild's headline was simply "Matthäus is not a bad guy." The newspaper wrote: "Bayern's position in this conflict is very delicate. Scholl is Bayern's darling and their future. But Manchester United seems to be standing behind Matthäus. Matthäus probably never imagined he'd have an enemy supporting him. UEFA's punishment of Matthäus will be a signal; the story of what's to come in the 'Hollywood of the Football Field' is going to be very interesting."

Gazzetta dello Sport posted a photo of Lothar Matthäus' teammates celebrating when he was injured at Inter Milan, with the caption "Partners of Justice".

They wrote: "Matthäus has never been a likable player, but this time he stood on the side of justice. Redondo quoted Shakespeare and Stalin after the game to prove that Matthäus is a simple person on the field, a player who can distinguish right from wrong. Perhaps we misunderstood Matthäus before, confusing his on-field and off-field personas."

In an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Totti told the reporter, "Dejan's performance in the game is a phenomenon. I have always dreamed of playing with him one day. If I were on the field, I would teach that Scholl a lesson."

The reporter explained below that "Little Prince" meant that Lu Deyang's performance was phenomenal.

Marca: "Scholl's brilliant dribbling has caught the attention of Real Madrid, and Schuster has recommended him to the club."

Mundo Deportivo reports: "Romario is already disaffected by the fact that he was punished for returning to the team 23 days late. Now, Stoichkov has also had a conflict with Cruyff. Cruyff must bring in some replacement players in the transfer market this summer. Perhaps Roberto Mancini would be a good option."

Around 9 a.m., the doorbell rang at Lu Deyang's door.

Monica struggled to get up, changed her clothes, and went to open the door. When she came back, she slapped the Princess and Lu Deyang hard twice and said, "Get up, Deyang's coach is here."

The princess nearly fell off the bed with a start, and darted into the bathroom.

"Diane, there's no need to be so formal."

Lu Deyang sat up and rubbed his temples.

A few hours of sleep is still not enough for athletes.

Monica found him a set of clothes and went to the kitchen. When Lu Deyang arrived in the living room, Ferguson was already sitting there with a pot of coffee in front of him.

"Neapolitan coffee, very tasteful."

Ferguson raised his glass to Monica and then turned to look at Lu Deyang.

"coach."

Lu Deyang greeted him.

Monica immediately poured him a large cup of coffee. Lu Deyang checked the temperature, downed it in one gulp, and let out a long sigh.

I'm finally alive!

“It’s my fault. Young people’s schedules are different from ours. Cathy and I get up at 5 a.m. every day.”

Ferguson said with a smile.

"I was mainly tired from taking a plane and a bus yesterday."

Lu Deyang explained with a smile.

"Then let's go."

Ferguson was eager to get up.

Lu Deyang gestured behind him and said, "Diane is putting on makeup. She's really looking forward to meeting you."

Ferguson's eyes widened as he looked at Monica.

Then she looked at the closed bedroom door.

He really doesn't understand things about young people.

He simply pulled Lu Deyang to his feet.

He was a little unsure of what to do when he met the princess at this time.

Did he mean to tell her not to tire Lu Deyang out?
"Tell Diane."

Lu Deyang smiled, grabbed a coat, and left with Ferguson.

As soon as they got into Ferguson's car and left the yard, they saw Redondo jogging.

"Fernando."

Ferguson slammed on the brakes, immediately rolled down the window, and waved.

It's hard not to like a player who's this disciplined even on vacation.

"Dejan, Coach, I think I'll go take a look too."

Redondo heard about what happened today.

I knew the two of them were going to the hospital.

Lu Deyang couldn't help but shake his head.

He was perfectly fine. His coach was worried, and his good friend stayed by his side.

It's as if something happened to him.

Salford Royal Hospital is located northwest of Manchester, and it is a very good hospital in the UK.

The two people helped Lu Deyang with his examination and then sat him down in the examination room.

Ferguson said with a smile, "Fortunately, Manchester United has a partnership with them, and that's why the inspection was conducted so quickly."

"What a coincidence, I also have connections to get into the hospital."

"That's what the doctor who's looking at the scans said."

The atmosphere in the examination room suddenly became tense, and Ferguson clenched his fists and glared at the middle-aged doctor.

The doctor grinned and said, "Relax, I was just joking. I graduated from Cambridge University."

"Isn't it some community college that issues Cambridge diplomas?"

Redondo asked suspiciously.

Once trust is broken, it is very difficult to rebuild.

This is related to Lu Deyang's health.

"Relax, relax, I really am a medical student, and a consultant."

The other party said.

A consultant is equivalent to a chief physician or professor, which is quite good for a middle-aged person around 40 years old.

"Okay, how is Dejan doing?"

Ferguson asked.

"He's fine, as fine as could be. You can leave now."

"That's what the middle-aged doctor said."

Ferguson gave him a suspicious look, stood up and muttered, "Why don't we go to London? I don't feel comfortable with hospitals in Manchester."

Lu Deyang: ...

He still managed to persuade Ferguson to stay.

Otherwise, I'll have to spend all my rest time on the road today.

A round trip to London by car is no easy feat.

Even if he and Redondo are fine, the coach is too old to handle it.

After having lunch with Ferguson and watching the Scottish coach leave, Lu Deyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The coach overreacted a bit."

Redondo said.

That film is easy for ordinary people to understand; Lu Deyang's bones are fine.

"Yes, but it's always good that nothing's wrong."

Lu Deyang asked, "What are the plans for this afternoon?"

"Not yet, but I'm planning to go to the library to check."

Redondo said, "Recently I've been wanting to see if early versions of Shakespeare's works differ from the current ones."

"Then let's go together."

Lu Deyang said.

The two of them stayed in the library for several hours before going home.

The next day, upon returning to the team, many people saw the news.

"You quoted Stalin at the press conference? Hahaha, that's really interesting," Bruce said, passing the ball to Redondo.

"Knowing who Stalin is is already quite an achievement in the football world."

Redondo said with a sneer.

Steve Bruce's eyes widened.

Is this a compliment?
“Don’t mind Steve, I have two young friends in Italy, they’re not very well-educated,” Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"You mean Buffon, right, Francisco Buffon?"

"Irwin asked."

"Gianluigi Buffon!"

Lu Deyang said.

At this age, the young player's name was still hard to remember.

However, he will soon become a nightmare for Italian goalkeepers.

Not only did he have a long professional career, but he was also selected for the national team early on.

Some goalkeepers have long careers, but their national team starting careers usually begin at 27 or 8 years old and last for a maximum of two World Cups.

A goalkeeper as outrageous as this young one truly makes other goalkeepers despair.

Manchester United made a major rotation a day later but still won the game.

Immediately following that was the match against Everton.

Everton is a tough opponent.

However, despite Lu Deyang's absence, the recovered Keane still led the team to victory, and his partnership with Redondo is among the toughest in the Premier League.

There have been many reports lately about who Wenger is.

Lu Deyang only then learned that the professor had come to the Premier League.

Surprisingly, he didn't go to Japan.

The upcoming Premier League matches are going to be interesting.

Ferguson will soon discover that he dislikes Arsenal's new manager even more than Graham.

It takes a long time for two people to go from being enemies for years to burying the hatchet.

On March 14, Manchester United hosted Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Gascoigne went to Italy.

But this Tottenham team still has some old friends.

In a pre-match interview with The Times, Klinsmann humbled himself, saying, "Dejan is the best player on the planet. I'm just a relatively good player in Europe. Maradona is more aptly compared to him. I've already discussed this match with my teammates, and it will be very difficult to play against a team with Dejan."

Klinsmann's attitude pleased Manchester United fans, who did not hang up banners in protest at the stadium early on.

"Dejan will play half the game today to prepare for the upcoming match against Bayern and prevent Scholl from leading Bayern to a comeback," Ferguson said seriously.

A burst of laughter erupted in the locker room.

The old Scottish man was quite sharp-tongued.

Scholl has become a laughing stock in the Manchester United dressing room lately.

Steve Bruce once mocked Neville during training, saying he was so bad that even Scholl couldn't defend him.

Actually, Sauer is quite strong.

Unfortunately, he was still growing when he encountered the King of Land Balls.

In a contest between players of the same caliber as Lothar Matthäus, Scholl appears insignificant.

After changing his clothes, Lu Deyang chose to participate in the lottery.

[Your good brother Marco Materazzi is a tough guy on the field, often getting cards for fouls. So, we've drawn a player with a clean playing style. Ding! You've obtained a single-match trial card for the 1989 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, Barcelona vs. Sampdoria, featuring Gary Lineker.]

Lineker!

A gentleman of football.

He never received a yellow card while playing football; he's truly clean.

What impressed Lu Deyang the most was that Lineker had been hanging out with young models since his divorce; rich men really do always like 18-year-olds.

This 18-year-old is not an adjective.

Lineker's second wife was 18 years old when they got together.

"Coach, I'll be playing forward today."

Lu Deyang raised his hand and spoke.

Ferguson nodded, glanced at the players, and said, "Cole is a substitute, Brian, you screen for Dejan, David, you and Lee start and are responsible for passing the ball to Dejan, that's the arrangement."

Brian McClair turned to look at Andy Cole.

Are you stupid?
I asked you to deliver some red wine.

So what if it's £700 million? He'll still be on the bench.
McClell thought he could invite Lu Deyang to play golf later.

Lu Deyang joined his teammates for warm-up.

Manchester United fans were thrilled to see this.

Regardless of whether Lu Deyang starts or not, he's at least on the roster.

This made them very happy.

Some people were still stubborn, saying that Italian football was nothing special.

However, with the arrival of Redondo, Ludjohn, and some Serie A players in England, even the most extreme nationalist fans would no longer mention this argument.

Leaving aside Lu Deyang, Redon, with just one defensive midfielder, is already incredibly adept at dribbling past opponents.

There isn't a defensive midfielder in the entire Premier League whose dribbling ability is much better than Redon's.

Even many wingers aren't as good at dribbling as he is.

"Matthäus has been having a tough time lately because of the Scholl incident, but it's very interesting that UEFA hasn't imposed any further penalties on him for the straight red card."

"Yes, but we all know that Johansson is a staunch supporter of Dejan. The UEFA president even said that Dejan alone, plus a goalkeeper, could win every title. So Matthäus standing up for Dejan should be encouraged by UEFA."

"That's very interesting. Hoeneß said that Matthäus's actions were excessive. UEFA did not impose any further penalties on the player, but the club wanted to punish him."

The two commentators had a very pleasant conversation.

The British really enjoyed making fun of the Germans.

Because of what happened at the press conference, Redondo's reputation in the British media has improved a lot recently, and they no longer mention his Argentinian identity.

"Both teams' players have returned to the tunnel. Let's take a look at the starting lineups."

Manchester United 4-4-2 with two strikers:
Goalkeeper: Schmeichel
Defenders: Irwin, Pallister, Steve Bruce, Gary Neville

Midfielders: Lee Sharp, Redondo, Roy Keane, Beckham
Forwards: Lu Deyang, McClair.

Tottenham 4-3-3:

Goalkeeper: Ian Walker
Defenders: Colin Calderwood, Gary Mabart, Justin Edinburgh, Dean Austin

Midfielders: David Howells, Darren Anderton, Nick Barmby

Forwards: Ronnie Rosenthal, Klinsmann, Sheringham.

"Tottenham fielded a very attacking formation today. Francis is probably betting that Manchester United will prioritize the Champions League. But with a score of 7-1, do Bayern still have a chance?"

"Maybe so, Sauer is quite outstanding!"

"Okay, I'll suggest Gazzado watch some of Scholl's game footage when I have time; it might help him play in Italy."

At 11 p.m., referee Kelvin Morton blew the whistle to start the match.
