If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 213 Every Professor is an Ambitious Man (Please Subscribe)

There are two kinds of despair on the football field.

One of your opponents is Dream Three Kingdoms.

No matter how much you hate him, there's nothing you can do about it.

Another scenario is that your opponent's overall strength isn't ridiculously high, but their key players are incredibly talented.

Liverpool is facing this situation.

No matter how they played, they couldn't beat Lu Deyang.

The three goals in the first half perfectly showcased his individual abilities.

Only by defeating Lu Deyang will there be a chance to defeat Manchester United.

This is utterly despairing.

During halftime, Evans offered them some encouragement.

However, the situation is not as good as expected. Players are prone to getting carried away, but it depends on the situation.

If the conditions are right, the whole team could beat Tyson together.

But if you replace Tyson with Taro, even if you include all the fans, they still can't beat him.

The old man, Ian Rush, is more open-minded.

After all, he had his glory days, and he even thrashed Manchester United when he was young.

However, these young people were unlucky.

They are the same age as Lu Deyang, and their future careers are unlikely to be very smooth.

Liverpool played very cautiously after the start of the second half.

This is typical of Manchester United's opponents.

They started with great ambition, but their fighting spirit vanished by the halfway point.

What's even more frightening is that this Manchester United team is not at its full strength.

Beckham and his teammates are still in their growth stage.

Once Beckham's game reading ability and experience reach a certain level, he can deliver a fatal assist with a single kick.

Having the ball on the left wing is more threatening.

This is Europe's strongest two-pronged attack.

Giggs, growing impatient, asked about the appearance again.

Ferguson nodded and pushed him toward the fourth official.

We can't keep people warming up forever.

"Seven minutes into the second half, Manchester United made a substitution, with Ryan Giggs replacing McClair instead of Cantona, who had little impact today. It seems that Ferguson wanted to give Cantona more playing time."

McClair walked to the sidelines and couldn't help but look back at the court.

Who gets replaced is a microcosm of the situation.

This proves that Cantona was ahead of him in the order of succession.

McClair's worst fears came true.

Cantona is talented and capable.

Andy Cole has a net worth of $700 million.

Fortunately, he has Lu Deyang's friendship, which should be considered quite useful.

After high-fiving Giggs, McClair chatted with Ferguson for a couple of minutes before returning to the bench.

The teammates on the bench were talking about the recent London Fashion Week.

Supermodel Sharon Sharo is in the spotlight.

"Guys, do you know how much the most expensive watch costs? I've recently become interested in watches," McClellan asked, feigning nonchalance.

"Tens of millions of dollars? That's usually only available at auction houses."

Brian Robson said.

He is nearing the end of his career.

I spend more time participating in various activities than playing football, and I've also been thinking about getting myself some decent accessories, so I've specifically looked into that.

Pfft, cough cough—

McClell nearly choked to death while drinking water.

Damn, he didn't even make tens of millions of dollars in his entire career.

Now, incomes are only around a million a year, which was much less before, when everyone's income was low in the 80s.

"I mean a better brand."

McClell said, "It doesn't have to be that expensive. At least it's something I can afford if I grit my teeth, and it'll make me look good."

"Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands will suffice."

Robson pointed to his arm and said, "This watch of mine cost over 7. I wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't won the horse bet last time."

McClair nodded.

Even an old man like Robson is willing to spend over 7 on a watch, so maybe a show-off young genius like Fowler would be willing to spend 20, hoping to get noticed in the newspapers and satisfy his vanity.

He would need to choose a watch worth at least £30 to ensure he has the most expensive watch among Premier League players.

Moreover, even if you spend the money, the style still has to be something the customer likes.

I used to scoff at designers who talked about the meaning behind their designs, but now I realize it's actually quite useful. At least when you give something as a gift, telling the story behind it immediately increases its value.

It was only then that McClair realized that gift-giving was an art.

I'll have to study it carefully when I have time.

……

After Giggs came on, Lu Deyang moved to the striker position.

This position is actually more suitable for Torres.

Cantona was very pleased with this change.

He doesn't like being at the forefront, so his partner should ideally be strong enough to withstand attacks.

He also doesn't like playing with idiots; his partners must have sufficient football intelligence.

He also doesn't like rookies, and his partner's technical skills must be guaranteed.

Looking at it this way, only Lu Deyang and Van Basten are suitable for the position in football; the rest of the forwards are all number 9.5.

With Lu Deyang at the forefront, he could retreat to the organization at any time.

In particular, Lu Deyang put a lot of pressure on Liverpool's defense, making them afraid to leave their positions easily.

After Redondo intercepted the ball in the half, he immediately launched a long ball directly into the penalty area.

Lu Deyang and Cantona rushed towards the landing point at the same time.

Neil Rudock almost cursed.

One Cantona was already enough, but with Ludjohnsen added, he has to make choices in defense.

Ruddok charged toward Ludwig, and the two jumped one after the other.

While in the air, this typical traditional English center-back tried to teach Lu Deyang a lesson by spreading his arms, but Lu Deyang's arms firmly protected the space in front of him, giving him no chance to use his elbows.

Snapped--

The ball was flicked by Lu Deyang and flew towards Cantona.

Cantona adjusted his position to prepare for a volley, but Skiles preemptively ducked and headed the ball away with a very dangerous move.

If Cantona hadn't pulled back, that kick would have at least given him a concussion.

"Are you alright, Eric?"

Lu Deyang asked.

Forcibly pulling back after exerting force or kicking into the air can easily lead to injury.

The knee joint will bear a lot of pressure.

Cantona limped and rubbed his knee, saying, "It's alright, it should be fine."

At this point, he couldn't say for sure.

Jamie Redknapp hadn't even gotten a firm grip on the ball when Redondo came up and kicked it again.

Redknapp, who didn't have time to turn around completely, quickly dodged, and the ball was tackled directly to the left wing by Redondo.

Thomas and Rush, who were chasing back, quickly rushed to the left flank.

Giggs received the ball and immediately delivered a cross.

There was plenty of space in front of the penalty area, and the ball was easily delivered there.

What worries Liverpool fans even more is that Neil Ruddock misjudged the situation and actually took a step back.

This is clearly a misjudgment of the landing point.

Lu Deyang received the ball with his back to goal at the top of the arc, turned easily, and raised his right foot.

Ruddok instinctively stretched out his leg, but Lu Deyang raised his right leg high and gently lowered it, flicking the ball to create an angle before immediately striking it.

boom--

The ball flew past Ruddock and Skiles, who came over to help defend, heading straight for the right side of the penalty area. David James once again became the unfortunate backdrop, staging a scene where he guessed the right direction, but his hand was a few centimeters away from the ball.

A goalkeeper who came through Watford's youth academy, I always felt that a transfer to Liverpool would be a good thing for him.

Life at the top seems pretty good, but Liverpool's arch-rivals are just too strong...

The Dream Theater descended into madness once again.

What excites them even more than the constant scoring is the constant scoring against Liverpool.

The choice between annihilating arch-rivals and winning the championship will be very difficult for fans.

However, if faced with the choice between their arch-rivals being relegated and winning the championship, most fans would choose to forgo the title.

The chants of Manchester United fans were like a dagger piercing the heart of the Kop.

There may be fans of both Liverpool and Manchester United, but there are absolutely no fans of both, unless you are a Michael Owen fan.

“Ryan…”

As soon as he turned around, Ferguson remembered that Giggs had already entered the game.

But since we've already called it that, it doesn't matter if we call it someone else.

If you're not familiar with the place, just go home.

"Andy, get up and warm up."

Ferguson said.

Andy Cole took off his training jacket and walked to the sidelines.

This scene intensified McClair's sense of urgency.

"The score is now 4-1, Liverpool has no hope."

"Yes, at least that's how it was in today's game. Dejan was on fire in front of goal today; he could score from anywhere, especially that solo goal, it was truly amazing!"

"Liverpool kicked off again, and Rush surprisingly chose to break through on his own."

Ian Rush received the ball and charged toward Manchester United's half.

Clearly, the legendary striker was unhappy with Liverpool's performance today.

Cantona went straight to meet him.

However, in a one-on-one situation between two offensive players, the side with the ball usually has the advantage.

Rush simply slowed down and then accelerated, and successfully brushed past Cantona.

Redondo prepared to go for the ball, but Keane rushed forward first.

Seeing this, Beckham moved over from the flank to help defend, and at that moment Steven Harkness quickly rushed past Beckham.

Rush, who had the ball, didn't waste the opportunity and delivered a through pass from the side.

This ball was preceded by a certain amount of lead time.

When Gary Neville pressed forward, Harkness ran behind the ball and flicked it forward, dribbling past Neville and down the wing.

You'd better be careful!

Schmeichel offered a reminder.

Pallister rushed over to prevent the opponent from crossing the ball.

Harkness turned and cut inside, avoiding Pallister's foot before sending in a cross.

Rush's timing for the tackle was excellent, but Bruce was prepared. He stepped in first, sidestepped Rush, and blocked the ball with his chest.

There's someone behind you.

Gary Neville, who had just returned, was about to turn around when he heard Bruce's reminder.

Neville quickly passed the ball back to Schmeichel.

Schmeichel, fearing a turnover in the penalty area, swung his leg, ready to launch the ball forward.

But noticing the situation in the attacking third, he put even more effort into his footwork.

boom--

The ball flew swiftly across the halfway line from the Manchester United penalty area, its momentum undiminished.

Lu Deyang started his run and charged into Liverpool's penalty area.

Skiles, who was trailing behind, then entered the penalty area.

The two players were near the penalty area, and the ball hadn't started to drop even after it entered the penalty area.

You can only look up to judge the landing point and start selecting a position.

It's falling!
Skiles, who was observing from the side, was unaware of the danger when Lu Deyang made a lateral run inside the penalty area.

next second.

Lu Deyang used his chest to tip the ball right in front of him, successfully getting the ball to land in front of him.

snap,

After the ball bounces off the ground, it jumps again to chest height, which shouldn't be too dangerous.

Skiles tried to get around to the front to block him, but he immediately opened his mouth wide.

Lu Deyang twisted his body with his left foot as support and swung his right foot forward.

Strike in mid-air!
boom--

Its speed is swift as the wind, its wings can traverse ten thousand miles.

Skiles stared intently at the ball's trajectory, and almost instantly felt he couldn't keep up.

David James, who was close by, jumped up and stretched out his arms, but the ball only started to fall in the middle of the crossbar, crashing into the inside of the left post and bouncing into the net.

boom--

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

The Theatre of Dreams was like an erupting volcano, with fans leaping from their seats and shouting excitedly.

As expected, their number seven is just that outstanding.

The more crucial the match, the more satisfying his performance became.

The Northwest Derby is as important to local fans as a final.

"Deyang!!!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"What a goal!"

"I've always wondered where Dejan's limits are, but now it seems that Dejan has no limits at all."

"Whether it's the speed, reaction time, or shooting skills he displayed today, they are all world-class. In this highly anticipated match, Dejan once again dominated."

"Most importantly, he broke the Northwest Derby record again. The previous record for most goals in a single Northwest Derby match was 4, set by Manchester United players George Wall in 1908 and Harold Hals in 1910. Dejan's 5 goals in a single match successfully broke the record held by these two Red Devils, but I believe that even if they see this, they will only feel gratified."

"Some players earn their wages on the pitch, while others are born to compete for championships and break records. Dejan clearly belongs to the latter! Ever since I found out who his girlfriend is, I've felt that even if Dejan goes to the Premier League, he won't become ordinary; he's never been an ordinary person!!!"

Jim Beglin shouted excitedly.

Martin Taylor continued to roll his eyes.

These Irish people were indeed happy to see the British royal family make a fool of themselves.

His commentator would mention the princess at least twice during a Manchester United match.

If you didn't know better, you'd think "Princess" was some kind of nickname, like how athletes call themselves "King." "Very strong!"

Cantona gave a thumbs up.

Just now, my mouth was big enough to fit an apple.

However, in order to maintain his composure, he suppressed his excitement.

Manchester United players ran up one after another to celebrate excitedly.

Beckham pointed to the sidelines and said, "Boss, you're going to be substituted, Dejan."

Lu Deyang looked towards the sidelines and, sure enough, Andy Cole was standing there.

He smiled and walked away from his teammates, heading towards the white line.

clap clap-

Old Trafford erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Lu Deyang's performance today deserves all the praise.

Lu Deyang raised his arms and clapped towards the stands before slowly walking toward the sidelines.

This will take a little time.

But the Liverpool players did not urge them on.

Even opponents would have enough respect for such a player.

In the world of football, you can dislike anyone, but you can't deny someone's ability.

"So, how about we head home early?"

Ferguson put his arm around Lu Deyang with concern and asked.

Lu Deyang thought for a moment and nodded.

There really is a need for this today.

Ferguson immediately gestured to the team doctor, indicating that he should accompany Lu Deyang into the tunnel.

This scene still made many Manchester United fans' hearts clench.

It's estimated that reporters will ask related questions after the match.

"Robert, I can go back by myself."

Lu Deyang said.

Rob Swail's experience is also quite interesting.

He knocked on Ferguson's office door to apply for the job in 1991, and then rose through the ranks from assistant team doctor, working at Manchester United for over 20 years. He stayed for a while after Ferguson retired before leaving.

"Forget it, the boss sent me, I'll just take you home, and I can leave work early too."

Swell said with a smile, and waited on the side for Lu Deyang to change his clothes.

Lu Deyang decided to send a shopping card to this outstanding team doctor from before the new year later.

He is quite capable and has high emotional intelligence.

She was clearly dropping him off on purpose, yet she said she could skip get off work and leave early.

That way of speaking makes people feel very comfortable.

On the way back, the two were still happy to hear on the radio that Cantona had scored a penalty.

The match ended 6-1, failing to break the record for the biggest score in the Northwest Derby.

When Lu Deyang got home, he saw Monica, who had just finished work.

She was wearing a light silk nightgown with a belt around her waist, but it didn't cover her size at all.

Monica was pleased with Lu Deyang's look and took a cherry from the plate.

He held the cherry between his two fingers and rubbed it against his lips, but wouldn't eat it.

"Gulp... Where's Diane?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"Hmph, that defeated opponent is already asleep. If you want to wake her up with a kiss, you'll have to get past me first," Monica said provocatively.

They started cosplaying as Maleficent.

"How about I take a shower first?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"It's okay, I don't mind."

Monica pushed him onto the sofa and squatted down to begin her workday.

Good ingredients should be cooked using the simplest methods.

To preserve the original flavor to the greatest extent possible, Chef Mo, being Italian, cares a lot about the freshness of the ingredients, and even disregards the sweat on them before personally tasting them.

Only after confirming it was a familiar taste did she nod in satisfaction.

After working for more than half an hour, she finally found the essence of it.

But the real test has only just begun.

To make the best food, every step is crucial.

Force, angle, and even sound are all important factors.

Chef Dai, who was resting in his room, noticed the situation and joined in the cooking.

Lu Deyang woke up at around 10 a.m. the next day.

I only slept for 7 hours.

He quickly prepared a few things and put them in the microwave, then went to the door to get a newspaper.

The newspapers were full of reports about this Northwest Derby.

The Times wrote: "Liverpool's crushing defeat has jeopardized Evans' job, and the Liverpool board is already considering a change of manager, with Redknapp currently being one of the leading candidates."

The Liverpool Evening Post, however, showed no mercy to Liverpool, writing: "While Manchester United may be incredibly strong with Dejan, a 6-1 scoreline is unacceptable. Fans cannot accept a team without any fighting spirit. As star players, Fowler and McManaman received the most cheers, and they should also be criticized at this time, instead of praising them when they win and making their teammates bear the burden when they lose. Perhaps the abilities of these two talented players are not as outstanding as we think."

Lu Deyang saw the professor's speech in the Manchester Evening News.

The days ahead are unlikely to be peaceful.

The professor directly targeted Manchester United, saying, "Ferguson wanted to reschedule some league and cup matches to make it easier for Manchester United to play some continental competitions, but this is unfair to other teams. If a team wants to achieve something in six or seven competitions and doesn't want to give up any matches, then it has to overcome the scheduling and personnel issues itself."

Arsenal have had a very good season so far.

They're not even worse than Manchester United.

They went straight from the middle and lower ranks to become contenders for the championship.

Manchester United's unfavorable schedule is advantageous for Arsenal.

Regarding his team's title win, the professor would definitely oppose adjusting Manchester United's matches.

However, Ferguson would probably be unhappy.

A war of words is about to begin between the two.

The Sun reported on gossip about Lee Sharp and the TV presenter.

Lu Deyang felt that Sharp was probably going to take the blame for Ferguson's wrath.

He had just finished eating when he heard the phone ringing upstairs.

He returned to the bedroom and saw that the two girls were still sleeping. He took his phone and went out of the bedroom to answer it.

"Fernando, did Brian invite us? Okay, let me change my clothes first."

Lu Deyang said.

McClair called Redondo to arrange a game with the "King of the Underground".

The logic here is somewhat complicated; Lu Deyang hadn't even figured it out yet.

Five minutes later, he changed his clothes and came downstairs, where Redondo was already waiting at the door in his Bentley.

Lu Deyang sat in the passenger seat looking at the map. It took the two of them quite a bit of effort to find the arcade that McClell had mentioned.

Arcade games were popular in Europe and America for a while, but they weren't as popular after the 90s.

More people will choose to play at home using a console.

Sony and Nintendo machines sold very well at this time.

"I heard you like playing games, and I happen to like them too, so I invited you guys to play together."

McClair, who was waiting at the door, said with a smile.

"You also like playing games. I thought you only liked golf."

Redondo said in surprise.

He joined Manchester United before Lu Deyang and had never heard of McClair having this hobby.

"That's because you don't know, I'm a Street Fighter master."

"McLair said smugly."

"Let's go in and have some fun."

Lu Deyang waved and said.

Hearing McClellan say that, he became interested as well.

After buying game tokens, the three of them started looking for games that interested them.

McClair said from the side, "Dejan, how about a duel?"

"forget it."

Lu Deyang said.

It would be more like it were Class 92.

Playing games with these people born in the 60s is just bullying them.

"Is it because you're afraid?"

McClair said, "How about we make a bet, best two out of three? I just picked up the watch I ordered from London."

Redondo glanced at McClair's wrist and rolled his eyes.

Your family made a bet with someone using a £34 watch?

This guy is clearly trying to give Lu Deyang a gift.

Damn, I really underestimated these old fogies. They're all cunning.

He didn't think McClellan was trying to frame Lu Deyang.

Even if everyone's skill level is about the same, younger people tend to have faster reaction times when playing video games.

Moreover, McCree doesn't seem like someone who plays games.

It's really hard for him to come up with such an excuse.

Sure enough, he lost the game with almost no chance to fight back.

He threw the watch to Lu Deyang and ran away after being refused by Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang looked at Redondo speechlessly.

Redondo said with a smile, "I guess it's to thank you for your help before. This watch isn't cheap, and you put thought into this gift, so you should accept it, Dejan."

Lu Deyang could only fasten the watch to his wrist.

I'm afraid to even put it in my pocket for fear of scratching it.

Looking at it this way, he should have persevered a little longer.

McClair and his ilk are all penniless.

When Little Curly grows up, if Lu Qiuwang provides dozens of assists a season, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to earn hundreds of thousands each time, right?

The FA has still not adjusted Manchester United's schedule.

Two days after the Northwest Derby, Manchester United faced the second leg of the third round of the League Cup.

Despite everyone's best efforts, Lu Deyang was still forced to appear on stage.

York City parked the bus in this match, and Manchester United struggled to score the equalizer.

Lu Deyang, who came on as a substitute, contributed a goal and an assist, helping the team advance to the next round with a total score of 4-3.

The timing of this match also made Ferguson completely hate the Professor.

He didn't even wait until the next day, but said at the post-match press conference: "There is only one disease in the world that has no cure, and that is being envious of others. A team can compete for multiple championships because of their performance last season. Even if the other teams in the league don't help, they won't hold us back. Liverpool didn't do that, but someone else did. If you ask me, it's because the French are jealous of us. They're afraid that I'll win too many championships."

Things turned out exactly as Lu Deyang had predicted.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Next, these two old men would find fault with each other every now and then.

This has been one of the biggest highlights of the Premier League for a long time. Both teams are controlled by managers rather than coaches, and both have achieved excellent results. Their rivalry is the most high-profile clash.

On October 14, Lu Deyang started and played for ten minutes, providing a hat-trick of assists with Gundogan to help Manchester United defeat Manchester City 4-0.

A week later, the entire Manchester United team traveled to London again.

“We go to London many times every year for the FA Cup, the League Cup, and away games for London teams. Why don’t we just move to London?”

Gary Neville complained.

"If you dare say something like that to the fans, they'll beat you to death."

Schmeichel said.

“I’m just saying, but Manchester has really declined. It’s rare to see a city decline so quickly,” Gary Neville remarked.

As a local, he witnessed the gradual decline of this industrial city.

"If you had studied more, you would have known that Detroit fell even faster."

Redondo joked, "That city used to be very wealthy; no city has ever declined faster than Detroit."

"How could that be? What about Hiroshima?"

Lu Deyang asked casually.

Redondo immediately suppressed a laugh.

Some people on the bus looked completely bewildered, while others were slapping their thighs and laughing.

This depends on each person's level of knowledge.

After his teammates explained, many people laughed along with him.

Europe's lower classes lack understanding of the world, and its players are the cream of the crop.

I told a regional joke.

The atmosphere on the bus improved considerably.

This trip to Stamford Bridge was also a new experience for the Manchester United players.

Hughes transferred to Chelsea in the summer.

Chelsea also spent a lot of money to bring in players such as Gullit.

This has also made Manchester United players very curious about Chelsea's current strength.

The name of the Dutch Three Musketeers is still very well-known.

Upon arriving at the stadium, Lu Deyang went to the locker room with his teammates.

“Hughes called me last week to brag about his new house in a wealthy area of ​​London,” Steve Bruce said. “Today I’m going to teach him a lesson.”

"He's in trouble then. I don't think Hughes can get away from your defense."

"Gary Neville said obsequiously."

Bruce and Pallister often wiped his bottom.

"Just do your best."

Bruce cautioned, "Otherwise, that Peter guy won't let you off the hook."

Gary Neville glanced at Schmeichel furtively.

If you had to pick one player he least wanted to play with on the team, it would definitely be the Danish goalkeeper.

The guy was suppressed by a combination of seniority, strength, and martial prowess, plus he had a very volatile temper.

The young players on the team were all afraid of him.

She didn't even dare to sit alone with him in the locker room to change clothes.

I was afraid he might suddenly lash out.

Even though I know it's unlikely, I still have this worry.

Lu Deyang changed his clothes and opened the system to select the lottery.

[Your good brother Roberto Mancini always wanted to become a legend of a team, to have his jersey retired by the team, but he couldn't. So, we're drawing a player whose jersey number was retired by a team to receive a single-match experience card for the 1997 international friendly match between Italy and England, featuring Gianfranco Zola.]
