If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 221 Keegan and the Verbal Battle (Please Subscribe)

Whether in England or Italy, the commentators will mention this.

But only by actually playing with Lu Deyang can you truly appreciate how easy it is to score a goal.

Sometimes Lu Deyang doesn't pass the ball because there's no opportunity.

Lu Deyang will pass the ball whenever there's even the slightest opportunity, and when there's an absolute chance, he can just wait to finish the play; there's no chance of a passing error.

This alone made Cantona very satisfied.

When you've made a run to get past your opponent and are about to go one-on-one with the ball, it's incredibly frustrating when your teammates can't pass the ball to you.

The disharmony within the team during the era of two strikers stemmed from this.

They are competitors to begin with, so even if there's an opportunity, they might not spread the word.

It's like the falling out between Del Piero and Inzaghi.

Even if you used to get along very well, you can't continue a relationship. Harmonious relationships like those between Vialli and Mancini are actually rare.

After the initial excitement subsided, Cantona looked towards the sidelines and said, "The boss is about to substitute you again. Do you want to score another one?"

"There will be a chance, I'm not in a hurry."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Cantona: ...

Since becoming teammates with Lu Deyang, he has felt much less pressure in the finals.

The focus has shifted from whether or not we can win the championship to what kind of data is better.

Sometimes Cantona was truly grateful for his football talent.

Otherwise, given his talent level, he would always fall short of the champion in individual sports, and with his personality, he would have developed depression long ago.

Scolari couldn't help but sigh as he watched the game.

He didn't think he was a genius coach.

If we win a major championship someday, it will be because of the players' abilities, just like it is now.

However, for someone of his level, the biggest fear is facing stronger opponents.

This is where the problem lies.

He's all about numbers, not mechanics.

How do you play when the opponent has overwhelming numerical superiority?
If he had two Lu Deyangs, he would be confident of beating Manchester United.

But he didn't.

Even if we wanted to make adjustments now, there's no way to do it. We can't just replace someone less than twenty minutes into the game.

"Hang in there, find a counter-attack opportunity and score a goal."

After thinking for a moment, Scolari shouted to the field.

If he could hold on until the second half, he would bring on Emerson to strengthen the defense.

"Lord Deyang!"

Amid the cheers of the local fans, Jardel passed the ball to Nunes once again.

Nunes immediately passed the ball back.

Both forwards tried, but their individual abilities weren't enough to break the deadlock. So, the next step was to pass the ball to their teammates and let them take responsibility for the consequences.

Da Costa is clearly willing to do so.

He felt he could put some pressure on Manchester United.

After receiving the ball, he charged straight forward from the middle.

Before Andy Cole could even get into position, he charged at him.

Cole instinctively stretched out his foot, but was easily knocked away by Beckham as he ran, and Beckham went to meet him again.

Today's match was not easy for Beckham.

Because the opponent frequently changed players with the ball, although they were all Brazilian, their height and playing habits were very different. They were not originally defensive players, which made it very difficult for him.

Da Costa's footwork was very rapid, and Beckham couldn't find an opportunity to extend his foot. He could only keep retreating and waiting for Scholes to come up and help defend.

The Brazilians had clearly noticed their weak defense along the way.

Another attack was launched from Manchester United's right flank.

Facing two defenders, Da Costa executed a series of stepovers before delivering a through ball.

Alex dos Santos received the ball and immediately cut inside past Gary Neville.

Gary Neville was a step too slow in his start and tried to catch up, but just as he was about to reach the byline, Dos Santos feigned a sudden stop, causing Neville to halt, and then dashed forward to deliver a cross along the byline.

Oh shit!

Gary Neville couldn't help but curse inwardly.

He just hates those jerks with amazing skills.

Fortunately, the pass was too close to the goal line and went out of bounds mid-flight. After the linesman alerted the referee, he immediately blew his whistle and gave possession to Manchester United.

"be careful!"

Schmeichel turned his head and said.

"Oh, got it!"

Gary Neville said, looking like a thief.

When he wasn't conceding a goal, Schmeichel was in a good mood.

But Gary Neville knew very well that this was brewing.

If they lose even one ball, everyone who made a mistake before will be scolded; no one can escape.

Sometimes he felt that Schmeichel was Ferguson's best successor, as they were both equally stingy.

If Schmeichel had been the head coach, the team's wages could probably have been reduced even further.

The Dane is a money-grubbing guy.

It might lead to some ridiculous situation where a Manchester United youth team player is doing two part-time jobs.

That bastard will also spout nonsense like he was doing part-time jobs while playing professional football.

But the thought of that terrible situation made Gary Neville shake his head.

"Gary."

"what?"

"I threw the ball to you, you idiot!"

Schmeichel offered a reminder.

Gary Neville then noticed the ball in front of him and Silva pressing him.

Oh shit!

These Brazilians change routes incredibly fast.

Now that he had no chance to get the ball, he quickly ran forward a step, stretched out his right leg, and used a split to tackle the ball away.

David Beckham was immediately marked closely by Da Costa as soon as he received the ball.

He wanted to find an opportunity to make a long pass, but the Brazilian attacking midfielder made a lot of hand movements and kept his weight on Beckham, making it impossible for him to shake off the opponent and pass the ball.

Somewhat frustrated, Beckham could only pass the ball across to Scholes, who had come up on the bench.

Scholes received the ball and immediately swung his right foot to attempt a long pass, but Carlos Junior blocked it with the sole of his right foot.

The ball bounced towards the left flank.

In an instant, a huge change occurred on the field.

Lu Deyang and Redondo started almost simultaneously.

Dos Santos, who had just changed lanes, and Arce, who was under pressure, also rushed towards the ball.

With the addition of Carlos Junior and Scholes, a total of six players from both sides chased after them.

In this situation, whichever side gets the ball first and passes it out will have a huge advantage.

If there are too many people in one area, there will inevitably be empty spaces in other areas.

Lu Deyang was Manchester United's closest player to the ball, but the ball was in Gremio's half and closer to Arce.

Seeing this, Redondo gave up and returned to the middle, preparing to cut off the opponent's passing lanes.

Lu Deyang continued to charge forward.

Even if you can't get the ball, you must prevent the opponent from passing it immediately.

A contest of absolute speed.

Ronaldinho isn't slow, but his opponents are also very fast.

Seeing that Arce had taken the ball first and immediately pulled back, Lu Deyang stretched out his right foot and stepped on the right side of the opponent, then turned around and stretched his left foot behind his right foot.

Snapped--

Arce's pass hit Lu Deyang's left instep and bounced behind him.

Too fast, the instinctive pass hit Lu Deyang's foot.

By the time Arce tried to turn and chase the ball back, it was too late.

This time, he didn't have the advantage of distance.

Lu Deyang's start gave him a half-body gap, and by the time he caught up with the ball, Arce was already almost a meter behind.

"Deyang-kun!!!"

Another burst of excited cheers erupted at the Tokyo National Stadium.

The gap in absolute speed can never be bridged.

After Lu Deyang dribbled down the wing, he raised his right foot. The center-back Mendes, who came to cover, instinctively stretched out his foot, but Lu Deyang's right foot landed directly and headed the ball into the penalty area.

Mendes reached out, but immediately withdrew his hand.

He was just one step away from the penalty area, and out of fear, he gave away a little too much space.

Lu Deyang immediately made a cutback pass after receiving the ball again, leaving Batista unable to reach it.

Andy Cole and Cantona almost collided because they didn't coordinate their runs. Neither of them could receive the ball, which was cleared out of bounds by Carlos Junior when he returned.

Ferguson bit his lower lip with his teeth.

The mild pain made him feel much better.

Manchester United's attacking lineup is his biggest concern right now.

It's not that the forwards are bad; every forward is good.

最大的问题就是双前锋从也没办法发挥出1+1=2的实力，更不要说1+1大于2。

He wants a forward line that is different from the traditional one tall and one fast, but with a high degree of tacit cooperation.

Either of the two players can act as a fulcrum in front, while the other will put a lot of pressure on the opponent's defense.

Most importantly, he can cooperate with Lu Deyang.

At this moment, he thought of the French again.

Actually, Arsenal's Bergkamp was pretty good.

Ferguson never imagined that one day he would complain about the poor teamwork of a striker who scored many goals.

Manchester United launched a relentless attack for over 20 minutes, and their players were nearing the end of their stamina. Gremio's players became increasingly active.

Ferguson wasn't worried about this kind of thing.

Whenever an opponent makes even the slightest move, Lu Deyang will crush them into the abyss.

In the 26th minute, Da Costa was dispossessed by Redondo while dribbling in the middle.

Redondo immediately passed the ball to the left wing.

Lu Deyang's start was met with cheers from the entire audience.

Today, Lu Deyang's dribbling style was very distinctly Samba-like.

The ball was always stuck to his feet, but his body was constantly swaying, making it difficult to find a foothold even when defending head-on.

Arce waited in his position, and Lu Deyang ran to his side. The Brazilian full-back immediately fell to the ground and stretched out his leg, not caring whether it would be a foul or not, just wanting to do something ruthless.

However, Lu Deyang reacted quickly.

He tapped his right foot.

click -

The ball rolled towards the sideline, and I managed to avoid the shot by slightly changing direction.

He then flicked the ball forward, letting it slightly leave his control, and then accelerated into the penalty area.

Cantona and Cole were both making runs forward, but the Gremio players, wearing away jerseys, ignored them.

The camera pans to the penalty area, where the remaining defenders are all concentrated on the left flank, leaving the middle and right flanks completely empty.

Even though the opponent was just a South American team, it still left fans speechless.

Lu Deyang attracted too much defensive attention.

He dribbled into the penalty area, and Batista immediately came to meet him.

Lu Deyang merely feigned a dribble down the flank with his shoulder and feet, deceiving Batista into moving his body. By the time Batista realized that Lu Deyang was dribbling laterally, it was too late.

The defender felt that Pelé hadn't misjudged him.

Lu Deyang plays more Samba than Brazilian players.

On the other side, Mendes saw Lu Deyang raise his foot and immediately slid down to block the ball.

boom--

However, he was too far away to stop the ball, which flew past Danley's hand and into the right side of the goal.

boom--

"Lord Deyang!"

"Lord Deyang!"

"Lord Deyang!"

He scored two goals and made two assists, and most importantly, he made all sorts of dazzling dribbling moves every time he got the ball.

The fans at the stadium today went absolutely crazy.

When had they ever seen such an exciting performance?

Even though the game was one-sided, they couldn't help but get excited.

Many young people who started watching football because of comics have come to fully appreciate the charm of the sport.

Lu Deyang was equally excited.

Many of the young faces in the stands are people who grew up watching his works.

They can work for decades to come; they might even be working when they're 80.

These are all very good chives.

A new theatrical version every year has been a box office hit for decades.

There is nothing more joyful than this.

In addition, there are various related products and future collaborations.

The financial burden on loyal fans is likely to be considerable.

But that's okay. Sometimes the money isn't really spent; it's used to accompany them in another way.

Seeing the room full of life-sized body pillows and metal plates printed with Pikachu, fans would feel excited even while eating instant noodles.

The King of Land, with his arms outstretched, only received fragments of a private jet, while the cheering fans at the Tokyo National Stadium were incredibly rich in spirit.

Sometimes Lu Deyang even felt that he should receive some kind of Japanese Spiritual Civilization Construction Award.

Unfortunately, EVA had already aired by then.

Otherwise, it would be nice to draw this short story.

EVA linkage is used in everything from buses to hydraulically operated airtight valves and streetlights.

"Substitute someone else."

Ferguson pushed Giggs to the sidelines and instructed him: "Even though we are in the lead, you still need to step up the attack when you come on. You need to let fans all over the world know that the world's number one and number two left wingers are both at Manchester United. You are Ryan Giggs, not Dejan's substitute."

Giggs nodded vigorously, feeling somewhat moved.

Ferguson chuckled and patted him on the shoulder. He noticed that the Brazilian players had a lot of dirty tricks up their sleeves, especially their tendency to tug at their jerseys.

Lu Deyang often likes to change direction at high speeds, and if he doesn't pay attention, his jersey can easily be pulled and injure his joints.

This gives Giggs a chance to shine.

Ferguson was very pleased with Giggs' reaction.

This naive young man, who was once tricked by Bruce and his gang into asking him for a car, is still so easily trusting.

As Lu Deyang stepped out of the white line, Ferguson immediately handed him a towel, saying, "I bought this at a department store in Japan; it's said to be the most expensive towel in the world."

"I don't dare use it anymore, coach."

Lu Deyang joked.

"It's alright, the club will pay," Ferguson said with a smile.

Lu Deyang laughed along with him.

"Those Brazilians today were really asking for it. If I were on the field, they definitely wouldn't dare to dribble past me like that."

As soon as Lu Deyang sat down, Keane spoke.

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded.

When Curly first arrived at Manchester United, many Premier League defenders threatened to break his legs.

Cristiano Ronaldo's dribbling style is more European and simpler compared to these Brazilians.

Although he was criticized by Ferguson for his obsession with dribbling past opponents, he still thinks about creating opportunities after dribbling past them during the game.

These Brazilians often dribble past opponents just to show off their skills.

After he left the field, Gremio didn't have many opportunities. A single defensive midfielder is not good against two defensive midfielders. There was also a significant gap in strength between the two sides, which led to the game being one-sided.

Manchester United ultimately won 7-0 against their opponents.

As the whistle blew, the Tokyo National Stadium was completely transformed into a sea of ​​red.

Manchester United's substitutes and starters were running around the pitch, and the players' enthusiasm also inspired the fans.

The Gremio players either had their heads down or stared blankly at the field.

The bloody scoreline made them doubt whether they were truly the champions of the Copa Libertadores.

Is there really such a big gap between the South American champions and the European champions?

"Congratulations to Manchester United, congratulations to Dejan, congratulations to Ferguson, for winning this season's Toyota Cup. Manchester United has also set a record for the biggest score difference in Toyota Cup history. This is the biggest score difference since the Toyota Cup was changed to a single-leg format. Even if you include the two legs, Peñarol and Benfica's 8:4 score only has a 4-goal difference."

"Yes, we can see from the score that Manchester United had an absolute advantage in this game. Gremio put far less pressure on them than Arsenal. South American football may have come to an end, and the future of world football belongs to England."

Martin Taylor shouted excitedly.

Jim Beglin, unusually, didn't cause him any trouble.

FIFA staff are making arrangements quickly.

Nobody pays any attention to the losers.

After thanking the crowd together, Lu Deyang and his teammates lined up and walked towards the stands.

After the whole team went up to the stands and picked up the trophy, Lu Deyang once again received the key to the Toyota Cup Man of the Match award. He glanced at it and handed it to Phil Neville.

Young Neville asked, somewhat surprised, "Is it for me?"

"Yes, you don't have a car yet, so now you have a better car than Gary."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"Take it, Deyang doesn't need another car."

Gary Neville advised.

There was still a hint of envy in her eyes.

Neville then gripped the enormous key tightly.

As the countdown began, Steve Bruce and Schmeichel raised the trophy together.

Lu Deyang was the second to receive the trophy and raise it, which again elicited screams.

"You seem to be a pop idol, Dejan."

Schmeichel said, "That's the atmosphere I feel when I see a Michael Jackson concert."

“Dejan is much more handsome than him.”

Redondo said.

Schmeichel nodded in agreement.

Damn, why does a player need to be so good-looking?
It would be impossible to say I'm not envious at all.

Lu Deyang is incredibly good at making money!
A few days ago, we attended a sponsor event together, and apart from Lu Deyang, everyone else was just in the background.

He later learned that Lu Deyang could earn $400 million a year just from selling jeans.

The rest of the Manchester United players each received 100,000 to 200,000.

Schmeichel sighed. If his son were as handsome as Lu Deyang, he could really be a playboy. After all, Europe is quite into that kind of thing.

Unfortunately, Casper looks very much like him.

They, father and son, couldn't make money based on their looks.

Lu Deyang returned to the hotel with the team only after undergoing a urine test.

Manchester United will stay in Tokyo for another day; their flight is tomorrow afternoon.

The hotel restaurant.

Have you decided what to choose yet?

Gary Neville leaned closer to his brother and asked.

Manchester United players also became interested.

Previously, Toyota allowed customers to freely choose from various brands, including those from other countries.

However, after giving his car to Mattarella, he can only choose a Toyota this year.

"I have no idea what kind of cars they have."

Neville Jr. said with a smile.

He had been considering buying a used car.

There aren't that many considerations; if the price and the car's condition are similar, then I'll buy it.

Now it's his turn to choose a new car.

Most importantly, it's free!

“I think it would be better to choose a station wagon, so we can go out and have fun together,” Gary Neville encouraged.

There are quite a few people in Class 92.

If I drive a car, it's always crowded when I go out.

"Just choose what you like, don't overthink it."

Lu Deyang suggested, "If you want to go out for fun, you can rent or borrow a car."

Neville Jr. nodded.

He thought so too.

The first car still holds a lot of significance.

Of course, you should choose the one you like.

He had seen the Crown on the street before and thought it looked pretty good, and it just so happens to be under the Toyota brand.

“Dejan is right. You don’t need to consider Gary. He can’t be with you forever.”

Beckham said with disdain.

Gary Neville, that bastard, always hitches rides on his car after his own car is stolen.

Call him if you need anything.

What's most infuriating is that they don't even help you refuel after you borrow their car.

“David, we’re roommates, have you forgotten that I went to get you medicine when you had a stomachache?” Gary Neville said, blinking.

"Going to the team doctor to ask for some medicine is like you're donating bone marrow to me."

Beckham complained.

Many people laughed along with him.

"Those young people are really energetic."

"I'm eating sushi," Pallister said.

"This is a good thing, I think they will succeed."

Bruce said, "It's something we can't celebrate during the season. When I was younger, I would have definitely gone out for drinks, but now, except for Sharp, the whole team is at the hotel restaurant. At least these guys are restrained."

"That's because you weren't under the boss's command when you were young," David May retorted.

Bruce paused for a moment, then nodded.

Scottish managers are indeed terrifying.

After dinner, Gary Neville said, "Let's find somewhere to have some fun. We should celebrate winning the championship."

"Forget it, I have something to do."

Lu Deyang said.

He didn't even have his room key with him.

After Lu Deyang left, Gary Neville winked and said, "Did you book another room for yourself, Fernando?"

Redondo glanced at him but didn't say anything.

He was Lu Deyang's roommate, so how could he go back under those circumstances?

Luckily, I hadn't cancelled the room reservation, so I could stay another day.

……

After Lu Deyang knocked on the door, he saw Koizumi Kyoko dressed in a kimono.

"It looks beautiful."

Lu Deyang said.

Kyoko Koizumi covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Akina said it looks like a widow."

Lu Deyang took a closer look and realized that the black kimono did indeed have that kind of appeal.

The relationship between these two best friends is quite interesting.

On the bed, Lu Deyang saw Nakamori Akina sleeping, hugging her legs and curled up in a ball, her hair a little messy. Lu Deyang reached out and helped her part her messy hair.

Immediately afterwards, I felt something soft behind me.

These two best friends, with Kyoko Koizumi standing behind them looking considerably older.

Natural fine branches can produce large fruits, but it is rare.

Most of them need a cushion.

Lu Deyang turned around and saw a splash of white.

Being able to take off clothes quickly is also a talent.

Right in Lu Deyang's sight, Koizumi Kyoko slowly lowered her body and put a finger to her lips, telling him not to wake Nakamori Akina.

As expected, teachers who wear kimonos are very creative; they instantly created an amazing environment.

Lu Deyang immediately thought of similar movies.

Something like his girlfriend being drunk, or his sister being his best friend.

Tokyo in November is still a bit chilly, even with the air conditioning on.

Fortunately, Lu Deyang warmed up shortly afterward.

"Deyang-kun~"

Akina Nakamori opened her eyes and made a meowing sound.

Lu Deyang simply stuck it on.

With her mouth gagged, Akina Nakamori's breathing quickened, and she began to writhe.

She only noticed her best friend's situation after slightly raising her head.
……

The next day, when Nakamori Akina woke up, she found Koizumi Kyoko pressing down on her, showing no signs of waking up at all.

They must be exhausted.

She knew Manchester United would leave today.

I glanced at the time and realized it was already noon.

Akina Nakamori couldn't help but smile when she saw a note on the bedside table.

Haneda Airport.

Fans were everywhere.

The Manchester United players, dressed in suits, could barely move.

Beckham signed autographs for the fans and quickly followed Ferguson.

He had only taken two steps when several security guards grabbed a fanatical fan.

He almost pounced on Lu Deyang.

It took more than an hour for the Manchester United first team to finally board the plane.

I had originally planned to go shopping, but I simply didn't have the time.

Aside from participating in sponsors' events, he's constantly being chased by fans.

Although this feeling is not bad, it's still a bit tiring.

Many players soon fell asleep.

Back in Manchester, Ferguson was nearly driven mad with anger.

The first team was almost completely wiped out.

Gastroenteritis!

He was forced to give the entire first team a day off.

Liverpool never expected such a good thing to happen.

Manchester United's substitutes narrowly drew with Sheffield United before losing the Northwest Derby 2-0.

Then they lost to Leeds United, allowing Newcastle to overtake Manchester United and become the Christmas champions.

Kevin Keegan was clearly very pleased with the outcome, saying in a media interview: "Manchester United lost the mid-season title, but we will not give them any chance. We will continue to extend our lead. Perhaps Manchester United can win the continental competition, but the Premier League title will belong to Newcastle."

Faced with this situation, Ferguson was naturally not going to admit defeat. He directly attacked, saying, "Newcastle is just a second-rate team led by a bad coach. Their coach's incompetence has doomed them to never win a championship. If they want to win a championship, they should just fire him as soon as possible!"

This clearly angered Keegan.

He told the media that he loved beating Manchester United.

The war of words between the two head coaches added a lot of interest to this league match.

Lu Deyang found it very interesting.

The story of Newcastle's dramatic comeback this season has been widely circulated and even wildly inaccurate.

With Lu Guowang on the team, Manchester United will certainly not be 12 points behind.

However, it is true that Newcastle is currently in the lead; they are four points ahead of Manchester United in the standings.

Even if they lose this direct confrontation, it won't affect their top position.

Compared to Newcastle's current situation, Rude Young believes Keegan himself will be the first to succumb to the pressure.

If you can lose a 12-point lead, how much less a 4-point lead?

Under these circumstances, Manchester United faced Newcastle United in the league match on December 26.

Playing a game every two to three days on average is indeed very difficult for Manchester United.

Ferguson did not invite Lu Deyang to the press conference.

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

[Your good brother Peter Schmeichel has excellent mental fortitude. As a top goalkeeper, he always performs better in crucial moments. So, draw a player with average mental fortitude. Ding! You have obtained a single-match experience card for the 11th round of the 1978-1979 Bundesliga season, Hamburg vs. Dortmund, Kevin Keegan.]
