If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 210 It's all Sharp's fault (Please subscribe)
"Alan!"

"Alan!"

"Alan!"

A great deal of cheers erupted at Wembley Stadium.

As a star of the British Empire, Hiller still has quite a few fans.

Even Manchester United fans would find it hard to dislike Shearer, given his numerous past connections with the club.

Unfortunately, they chose Blackburn.

Ferguson also had some players he almost signed, mainly in England.

Schiller was one of them.

Later on, very few players refused Ferguson's offer; they were mostly like De Rossi, who never even wanted to transfer.

Otherwise, going to another team might not be better than Manchester United.

Schiller, however, did not relax; in fact, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

A game isn't just about one goal.

Even if the Charity Shield isn't that important, it's still an opportunity to get ahead of the competition, so Blackburn takes it very seriously.

Mark Hughes sat in front of the television with mixed feelings.

He didn't really want to see Manchester United win, since he felt like he had been abandoned by Manchester United.

He was only able to transfer to Chelsea because Ferguson didn't give him a place in the team.

But he wasn't too happy when Shearer won.

That would affect his historical standing.

As Lu Deyang's former teammate, he knew very well that he had no chance of defeating Lu Deyang.

However, if Shearer wins, his historical status will be elevated to an exaggerated level, which is something Mark Hughes does not want to see.

Compared to many Manchester United players, he wasn't that loyal.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the team for Barcelona so early.

He cares more about himself than the current players.

……

"Damn it, you idiots."

Schmeichel yelled at Gary Neville and Bruce, "Neither of you could stop Hiller? Have you been petrified by Medusa?"

"Then could you find a prince to kiss me?"

Bruce joked.

Schmeichel raised his fist at this shameless old man and said, "If you concede another goal like this, I'll make you pay at halftime."

Steve Bruce shrugged.

"He wouldn't actually do it, would he?"

Gary Neville said with some concern.

"Do not worry."

Neville breathed a sigh of relief.

Bruce then added, "I don't think he'll go all out; he can't force the team to make substitutions."

Gary Neville: ...

Oh shit.

He felt that these dim-witted guys weren't suited to play football.

Even when playing a match, you always have to worry about your teammates.

If you're so capable, why don't you learn from Cantona and kick the fans? What kind of skill is it to take your anger out on your teammates?
But he wouldn't dare say that.

Schmeichel had heard about Ferguson almost beating him up when he was in the youth team.

Someone who dares to mess with even the coach won't be spared.

"Be careful, Alan."

"Irwin said."

“I know, that kid has become smarter now.”

Bruce nodded.

Shearer used to be a big, clumsy guy who just liked to rely on his physical strength.

But now I've also learned how to plug it in after a sudden start-up.

It's clearly a change brought about by competition experience.

Erwin nodded and said nothing more; he wasn't a talkative person to begin with.

David May also reminded himself not to lose his position at crucial moments.

The problem actually stemmed from his positioning, which allowed the opponent to pass the ball behind him and then cross it into the penalty area.

The players from both sides returned to the center circle.

Cantona kicked off and passed the ball across to Scholes, who took a few steps back before passing it to Beckham.

Beckham was pressed by Gallagher and quickly passed the ball back to Scholes.

The young men in Class 92 clearly had better tactical discipline.

Beckham will not easily attempt to launch an attack.

Scholes received the ball and quickly turned to pass it to Lu Deyang, who raised his foot to stop the ball, and Stuart Ripley pressed forward.

Ripley bent over, shifting his weight to the side to guard against Lu Dejan dribbling the ball towards the center.

By spreading his arms to maintain his center of gravity, he could also pull Lu Deyang away immediately to prevent him from starting.

This is already the safest approach.

Delay for a bit and wait for your teammates to come and help defend.

Lu Deyang chose to pass the ball back to Redondo.

Redondo controlled the tempo in the middle after receiving the ball.

With Scholes in the center and Cantona who doesn't like to stay in the back line, Manchester United players can easily find passing lanes.

A closer look reveals that every time a Manchester United player receives the ball, there are at least two teammates nearby to support him.

This became even more apparent after Manchester United played against Ajax.

Constant running and passing significantly strengthened Manchester United's control in midfield.

Blackburn's formation is constantly pushing forward.

Ray Halford discovered this but couldn't do anything about it.

This isn't something you can simply tell the players to control.

Every time, it will make you look like you have a chance to intercept. You push forward and the opponent passes the ball away. You immediately think about pressing with your teammates. As more and more people are involved in the pressing, the formation naturally pushes forward.

To deal with this kind of team, you need to have enough patience to park the bus and be able to launch highly efficient counter-attacks.

Fortunately, Manchester United didn't maintain possession for long, and soon Redondo chipped a pass to the left wing.

Lu Deyang started his run and caught up with the ball. With a simple flick of his foot, he changed direction and easily got past Ripley.

David Batty and Jeff Connorway rushed toward Lu Deyang almost simultaneously.

Lu Deyang didn't dribble the ball much; he turned sideways and swung his left foot directly.

Snapped--

Connor immediately jumped to the side and extended his right leg, trying to block Lu Deyang's cross.

However, Lu Deyang's left foot landed sideways on the side of the ball, making a cross!
Scholes, who had made a run forward, unleashed a long-range shot, which struck Ian Pierce's leg and went out of play.

"This was the first corner kick of the first half today. Now, whenever I see a corner kick, I think of the scene in the Champions League final where Dejan equalized and scored the winning goal with a corner kick."

"That's right, but Dejan doesn't seem to be interested in taking the corner kick. Beckham went to the corner flag area. Dejan is quite good to his young teammates, directly giving up the corner kick option."

"Beckham took the corner kick after his run-up, his intention was very clear to find the middle, but unfortunately Flores saw through it and the Blackburn goalkeeper successfully caught the ball in front of the goal."

Ferguson shook his head with some regret.

Beckham's game reading ability is still a bit lacking.

Directly finding teammates' positions is relatively easy for opponents to defend against. The best way is to observe teammates' positions and pass the information to them based on their movement. This makes it less likely to be defended.

Flores quickly threw the ball out, and Scholes was quick to react as he chased back, raising his foot to commit a foul.

Offensive fouls are the least costly way to win.

David Batty noticed what was happening behind him and immediately passed the ball out.

Sherwood met the ball and chipped it directly to Gallagher, who, before Gary Neville could pounce, delivered a 45-degree cross from the wing.

Shearer hadn't reached the door yet; only Mike Neville was there.

Irwin raised his arm first, preventing Mike Neville from getting in immediately, and Schmeichel rushed out of the penalty area and punched the ball away with one powerful punch.

This action still made Gary Neville shrink back.

He felt that if he were to be hit by a punch like that, he definitely wouldn't be able to play the second half.

The two teams engaged in a highly efficient offensive and defensive battle.

Scholes received the ball and passed it forward, and Redondo immediately passed it to Lu Deyang.

David Batty and Tim Sherwood started their run almost simultaneously towards the center lap.

Lu Deyang turned to face the right wing while running, but flicked the ball to the left wing with his heel.

This action affected the judgment of the two defensive midfielders, who failed to rush to the left flank to cover immediately.

Redondo felt no pressure at all when facing Jeff Connorway himself.

Both of them were using their hands, entangled as they rushed forward along the side road.

As the defender, Connor was under immense pressure and couldn't get in front of Redondo's arm.

This situation put him in a passive position.

Connor accelerated, trying to force his way into a favorable position, but Redondo pushed him hard backward, causing him to fall onto the grass.

The referee showed no intention of blowing the whistle.

Having shaken off the opponent's entanglement, Redondo quickly delivered a cross.

Blackburn players couldn't get up on the counter-attack, making their defensive retreat easy.

The defensive players are all inside the penalty area.

Chris Sutton stretched out his foot but failed to touch the ball, while Ian Pierce, who was blocking Ludjohn in the middle, blocked the passing lane.

The ball was moving very fast and hit Pierce's shin, giving him no chance to handle it.

The ball, blocked, bounced behind Pierce.

David Batty, who was chasing after him, suddenly felt his vision go black.

Lu Deyang!
Lu Deyang was always on Pierce's right side, and this time Pierce was forced to pass the ball to Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang turned around and raised his right foot to stop the ball from flying outwards.

As the ball fell, Lu Deyang fell to his side. Le Socks tried to block it with his foot, but Lu Deyang's movement was very fast.

boom--

The person fell to the side, and his right foot swung out in the process.

Flores immediately dove to the side, and because he was close enough, he was able to make the save.

But the goalkeeper knew something was wrong as he lunged forward.

The ball was at about the same height as his save, but not so close to the post. He lunged towards the right corner, but the ball flew over his shoulder and into the goal.

Boom—"Deyang!!!!!!!!!"

"Deyang!!!!!!!!!"

"Deyang!!!!!!!!!"

Cheers erupted at Wembley Stadium once again.

Lu Deyang is always so reliable in critical moments.

After scoring, Lu Deyang rushed towards the corner flag and performed a passionate knee slide.

He was quickly embraced from behind by Cantona, who followed him on his knees.

Cantona's buzz cut looks intimidating, but it appears rather rough in comparison.

It made Lu Deyang look even more refined.

If we're talking about looks, Lu Deyang is more suited to be compared to players like Inzaghi and Baggio.

Even so, it still excited the fans.

Number 7 and number 11, these are the team's two most important players right now.

What's really interesting is that George Best wore both of those numbers back then.

The handsome number 7, as handsome as a Roman statue, placed next to the somewhat ferocious and testosterone-filled number 11, is unbearable for some female fans.

His hands, which had been raised high, couldn't help but lower, and he let out a low murmur that was hard to decipher.

Ferguson excitedly raised his arms several times.

Kidd was equally excited.

When Ferguson retires, all of these will be his property.

As an assistant coach with a strong sense of ownership, he cared even more about the team's future than Ferguson did.

If Nancy Ferguson ever manages to convince this old man to retire, he could become the manager of Manchester United!

Kidd couldn't help but get excited at the thought of standing on the sidelines directing a player like Lu Deyang.

When he played football, he wasn't as good as Best and the others.

But if I go on to coach, I'm sure I'll become a world-class coach.

Perhaps he will also have his own statue, placed next to the Sir Matt Busby statue that was erected last year.

"See? Schiller looks very disappointed."

Ferguson said with a smile.

"Yes, that poor guy, who told him to turn down your kindness."

Kidd continued, echoing Ferguson's words.

“I’m not mocking him.”

Ferguson said sternly, "I'm just lamenting that every choice in life is very important and can cause your life to go astray."

Kidd made up his mind, inwardly rolling his eyes.

He would have believed it if he hadn't seen your list of enemies.

Last time Gascoigne stood you up, everyone at Tottenham, from the chairman to the manager, Gascoigne's entire family, and Gascoigne's agent Katie Davies, were all put on the death note.

I estimate that Schiller's situation is similar.

Considering Shearer's love for his hometown of Newcastle, you might even harbor resentment towards the teachers who educated him from a young age.

However, Brian Kidd thinks this is a good thing.

Desire is the driving force behind human beings.

People like them are not short of money, and ordinary people don't like women as much as they get older.

If it weren't for having some enemies, even a sense of honor wouldn't be enough to keep you moving forward.

He felt that this was actually Ferguson's strength.

The more vengeful someone is, the more they want to succeed.

Kidd even suspected that the old Scottish man sometimes deliberately created enemies for himself, like that new Frenchman.

Manchester United have taken the lead again.

The situation would be completely different.

Ultimately, Blackburn's goal was a mistake by Manchester United players, not a result of them finding a way to beat Manchester United.

A draw is better than a goal from open play.

After the restart, Blackburn found themselves on the back foot.

Cantona, who had just returned to the team, was very active; he was even constantly running and putting pressure on the team.

With Scholes behind him, the two of them were practically a nuisance in Blackburn's midfield.

Even some less astute fans could see Blackburn's disadvantage.

The ball was returned to the backfield, and Scholes rushed forward again.

David Batty didn't dare to hold the ball for long and quickly passed it to the left wing.

As soon as Gallagher started moving, Beckham rushed forward.

Gallagher could only pass the ball back to Lessaux.

The problem with the two-striker formation is that having one less midfielder makes a huge difference. Everyone needs to make more runs to compensate.

Fortunately, Blackburn's full-backs all had a cross to deliver, and as Beckham rushed over, Le Socks immediately switched the ball diagonally forward.

Stuart Ripley and Lu Deyang started simultaneously.

Ripley was closer and got the ball first.

Ripley clearly didn't want to go head-to-head with Ludjohnsen, but Redondo on the wing had already secured his position and even cut off his passing lanes.

If Lu Deyang isn't eliminated at this point, there will be no way to supply shells to the front lines.

Ripley put both feet on a bicycle.

This kind of stationary cycling is not difficult for professional athletes.

Maguire is an option.

Ripley immediately tried to tap the ball to get going, but Lu Deyang quickly stretched out his leg and moved his body, dribbling past him with the ball.

Trying to dribble past him with a ball is wishful thinking.

David May quickly got the ball.

Lu Deyang turned around and rushed forward.

Ripley reached out to pull Lu Deyang, but failed.

Lingard has many shortcomings.

They might run away!

Seeing this, David May immediately chipped the ball over the halfway line and headed straight for Lu Deyang.

David Batty, who was running from the middle towards the landing point, was a step too slow. The defensive midfielder decisively went down and swept his leg, willing to risk a card to disrupt Manchester United's counter-attack.

Lu Deyang, who was prepared, flicked the ball with his foot, causing it to bounce.

He then jumped up with his left foot, successfully avoiding Batistuta's foot.

This scene made many Blackburn fans hold their breath.

We're facing the defensive line again!
Another defensive midfielder, Sherwood, also abandoned the middle and charged towards Ludwig from two directions simultaneously with Connorway.

Connorway turned and stretched out his leg in front of Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang immediately flicked the ball with his left foot, then tapped it with his right foot, preparing to dribble into the penalty area.

Chris Sutton rushed towards the flank of the penalty area.

Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough. Lu Deyang got there a little ahead of the ball, and it went straight into the penalty area.

With few defenders, Cantona easily broke the offside trap, but by the time he got the ball close to the byline, his shot from a tight angle was blocked by Flores' outstretched leg.

"Manchester United's attacks are relentless. Dejan truly deserves to be called Manchester United's attacking engine and the team's absolute core. As soon as he gets the ball, he quickly poses a threat to the opponent."

"Yes, although they've escaped danger for now, Manchester United will have to take a corner kick next, so Blackburn must be careful."

David Beckham walked towards the corner flag area again.

This time he chose to pass to the far post, and although Lee Sharpe successfully contested the header, he headed it wide, sending the ball directly into the stands.

Blackburn escaped unharmed.

Flores breathed a sigh of relief for the moment.

He slowly walked towards the bottom line, trying to buy himself a few more seconds.

Unexpectedly, the caddie quickly threw the ball to him.

This left the Blackburn goalkeeper both amused and exasperated.

You can't just take your anger out on a child.

The referee had already gestured for him to kick off quickly, and this time Flores opted for a fast long ball directly into Manchester United's half.

Redondo headed the ball to the left wing first. David May looked up to find Lu Deyang as soon as he got the ball, only to find that Lu Deyang was standing in the middle.

This is a change of route with Scholes.

May delivered a through pass, still a little unsure, and shouted to Scholes, "To Dejan!"

Scholes received the ball and immediately moved towards the center, passing it to Lu Deyang right in front of two opponents.

"idiot!"

Ferguson couldn't help but curse.

The intention behind this pass was too obvious.

David Batty started it directly.

Fortunately, the ball was a little faster than Batistuta's, and Lu Deyang cleverly didn't stretch out his leg to pull the ball. When the ball came over, Batistuta missed his tackle.

When the ball came to him, he flicked it forward gently and started his run towards Blackburn's penalty area.

Tim Sherwood and Ripley chased back simultaneously.

The two of them were about half a meter behind Lu Deyang.

Lee Sharpe, who had made a forward run, waited for the ball in place. Lu Deyang cut inside with his right foot, getting past both Sharpe and Sutton. Pierce quickly slid in to tackle the ball.

Lu Deyang made another risky change of direction to avoid the attack, creating a three-on-two situation in the frontcourt.

Cantona was offside, and Beckham was behind the center of the penalty area.

Jeff Connery didn't even have time to make a move before Lu Deyang used his speed to leave him behind.

Oh shit!

Flores cursed inwardly.

These teammates are fucking unreliable.

The entire defensive line was breached just like that.

At this point, he could only rely on himself.

Flores rushed out of the penalty area, and Lu Deyang immediately turned and shot towards the far post, leaving the goalkeeper with nothing.

The ball rolled all the way into the right side of the goal.

"hat trick!!!"

“Dejan has made history again, becoming the third player to score a hat-trick for Manchester United in the Community Shield. The last time this happened was in 1908 when Jimmy Turnbull scored three goals in the replay to help Manchester United beat Queens Park Rangers 4-0.”

"Dejan helped Manchester United secure the title, and Blackburn and Shearer are going to be disappointed again."

“Giggs, Dejan’s regular substitute, is now standing in front of the fourth official. Ferguson has made another substitution.”

Every time Lu Deyang was substituted, the fans were somewhat disappointed.

Shearer didn't see anything wrong with using a player so cautiously.

Hey.

He sighed.

A tie in the Charity Shield would result in a double championship.

Manchester United are so domineering that they're unwilling to give up even half of the trophy.

Although there is still some game time left.

Even without Lu Deyang on the field, it won't be easy to turn the tide against Manchester United when they are up 3-1.

"How are you feeling, Dejan?"

Ferguson handed over the D. Porthault towel and asked.

As soon as Lu Deyang got his hands on it, he noticed the difference. He wiped it clean and handed it to Kidd, asking, "This towel is very smooth and feels great. Did the team change the brand?"

"Ah, yes!"

Ferguson nodded.

How could this towel be used by the whole team?

too expensive.

Audrey Hepburn, Charles de Gaulle, Winston Churchill, and Grace Kelly were all loyal users of it.

It took him a lot of effort to persuade Martin Eduardo to buy a batch.

Lu Deyang nodded and sat back on the bench.

"Congratulations, Deyang."

Philip Neville said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Lu Deyang said.

"This kid's a bit frustrated because he didn't get a chance to play, so he deliberately struck up a conversation with you," Pilkington joked.

The main purpose was to help Philip secure an opportunity.

"You'll have an opportunity soon, and I think the position at Sharp is more suitable for you."

Lu Deyang said.

"really?"

"I'm surprised," Philip Neville asked.

Lu Deyang nodded and said, "That's what I think, but the coach might not think that way."

"It's already great that you think that way!"

"Philip Neville said excitedly."

Even if Ferguson doesn't think that way, he can still talk to Ferguson.

Let Ferguson know Lu Deyang's thoughts.

Philip Neville himself felt he was a better fit than Sharp.

That guy is always in the entertainment section; he doesn't seem like a serious player.

Last season, his teammates all got a lot of opportunities, but he, who was selected for the first team first, didn't get much playing time. It's no wonder he was anxious.

The match ended 5-1, with Cantona and Beckham each scoring a goal.

Amid the dejected looks of the Blackburn players, Manchester United's substitutes and coaching staff rushed onto the pitch to celebrate wildly.

It hasn't been long since Manchester United won the FA Cup last season, and they've already won another trophy.

The Manchester United fans in the stands were ecstatic.

The constant stream of championship wins, with titles at the end of the season and again at the beginning, made them feel a bit dizzy and unreal.

Ferguson and his children gave them so many surprises.

"The new season has just begun, and Manchester United has already won the Community Shield, which is a great start to the season. We believe that Manchester United will win more trophies at Wembley by the end of the season."

"Yes, Manchester United will not give up on either the FA Cup or the League Cup. Last season, when Dejan was injured, Manchester United were eliminated from the League Cup. I believe they will be even more eager for the League Cup this season."

As the name suggests, this competition was created for charity.

Initially, it was a match between professional and amateur teams.

Manchester United beat QPR in 1908, when QPR was an amateur team.

It wasn't until 74 that the league champions faced the FA Cup champions, which significantly increased the prestige of the competition.

The name was later changed because some of the revenue from the Charity Shield was misappropriated by the Football Association, so it was renamed the Community Shield.

The trophy for the event was an octagonal plate. After receiving his medal, Steve Bruce handed the trophy to Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang raised the trophy high, igniting another round of cheers at Wembley.

The Manchester United players were somewhat restrained.

After all, it's only the beginning of the season, so we can't get too excited.

That would actually affect their mindset in the upcoming matches.

Before the holiday, Ferguson specifically reminded the whole team not to celebrate too much.

Back home, Lu Deyang was just about to celebrate with the princess when he received a call from Schmeichel.

When he turned on the TV, he saw the program they had filmed before.

Sky Sports deliberately waited until the new season to start broadcasting, clearly knowing that this time would yield better ratings.

The first episode went on until Gary Neville and Totti got lost, leaving fans in suspense.

Even without elaborate post-production, it can still attract a lot of people.

The two had just finished watching a variety show together when Lu Deyang's phone rang again.

He could only give the princess a helpless look.

The princess, however, knelt down in front of him and began to do so on her own.

"Pinocchio, does your penis grow longer when you lie?"

Lu Deyang rolled his eyes and said, "French directors really have ideas, but Eric, the appeal of this kind of story will be longer. Are you sure they can make something like this? If not, they should watch Italian films instead. 'Don Juan in Love' is pretty good. Aren't French directors good at storytelling? There's no need for them to make that kind of film..."

Cantona pulled Lu Deyan aside and talked for a long time.

He mainly had a lot of ideas that he wanted his friends to film.

What else can French directors make in their films? They make crazy, lowbrow stuff.

Lu Deyang, a cartoonist, also had to help Cantona come up with ideas.

After about 50 minutes, Cantona finally hung up the phone, still feeling quite unsatisfied.

"My mouth hurts."

The princess complained.

"The main thing is that it's not irritating."

Lu Deyang said.

The princess immediately opened the wardrobe, pointed to Monica's clothes, and said, "How about I wear her clothes? We won't tell Monica!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the doorbell began ringing frantically.

The princess lay heavily on the bed, pounding the mattress with her hands and feet.

Lu Deyang had no choice but to leave the room and go downstairs. When he reached the front door, he asked in surprise, "Kasper, what brings you here?"

"Uncle Deyang, I've run away from home. Could you let me stay for the night?"

"Little Schmeichel, with his backpack on, asked."

"No problem, come in with me."

Lu Deyang put his arm around him and said.

The princess also saw Peter Schmeichel, and Lu Deyang gave her a look, signaling her to call and tell Peter Schmeichel.

Otherwise, if the child gets lost, that guy will probably call the police.

As soon as I pulled little Schmeichel down to sit, the little guy's stomach rumbled.

He looked at Lu Deyang somewhat embarrassed.

Lu Deyang patted his head and said, "I'll go get you something to eat, and then we'll talk."

Not long after, Lu Deyang made a plate of ham fried rice.

Schmeichel was clearly hungry and ate with great relish.

Before long, the whole plate was gone.

He drank another large glass of water before finally settling down in the chair, satisfied.

"Why did you run away from home, Casper?"

Lu Deyang asked.

“My dad and I had agreed that after we won the championship, we would go out for fried chicken together, Monica Fried Chicken!” Schmeichel said.

"and then?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"Then he realized he didn't have his wallet, so we went home together to get it."

Schmeichel Jr. said, "I just turned on the TV and watched for a few minutes. They were talking about Lee Sharp's new girlfriend."

Lu Deyang nodded.

Sharp does appear on television frequently.

“My dad warned me not to be like Lee Sharpe, hanging out with TV hosts all the time. That’s not how a player behaves. I agreed,” Schmeichel said.

"That's good, there's no problem. Why did you run away from home?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"My dad suddenly saw my schoolbag and wanted to check how well I had done my homework. Then he saw my essay..." Little Schmeichel said hesitantly.

"What composition?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"My Idol Lee Sharp..."
