If you are a brother, come and play football

Go to Manchester United?
Raul hadn't thought of that.

But Lu Deyang's invitation was different.

It's like Beckenbauer inviting you to play for Bayern Munich. Going to Bayern isn't the point; the point is that Beckenbauer invited you!
The Emperor has invited you, and you should seriously consider even if it's just to play in the 2. Bundesliga in Hamburg. After all, replicating Kaiserslautern's miracle wouldn't be difficult after promotion.

If it were Podolski who extended the invitation, Bayern Munich might as well not go.

Lu Deyang's question made Raul feel flattered.

There are too many big names in the striker position.

Despite his time at Real Madrid, he's still just a young man, and not even a particularly outstanding one.

There are far more famous strikers in European football than him.

His partner, Zamorano, is a superstar.

For a moment, Raul didn't know how to answer.

Hierro noticed what was happening behind him and walked over, saying, "Don't even think about poaching my teammates. Real Madrid is no worse than Manchester United."

Raul quickly lowered his head.

Hiro pulled him away from the passage.

Lu Deyang smiled and shook his head.

They took it seriously when I was just saying it casually.

What's wrong? Real Madrid's youth academy can support La Liga, but it can't support the Premier League?

They were indeed very dominant in Spain, but they were still a bit lacking at this point. After the Galácticos, they trained one generation of youth players after another.

There aren't that many outstanding young people; they're all poached from all over Spain.

Real Madrid's youth academy didn't produce many prodigies, but their average ability was quite good. After playing abroad for a few years, they became regular starters in La Liga, a path similar to that of taxi drivers.

It's just that Real Madrid has an easier time poaching players, unlike Chelsea which needs to spend money everywhere.

Sometimes, parents bring their children to the door themselves; that's the benefit of good advertising and the dream of becoming a king.

Manchester United had a strong financial foundation, but after more than a decade of turmoil, Hoylen still dreamed of playing for the club.

There are quite a few children like this.

These are all things that Ferguson left behind at the end.

Manchester United would have been in a much better situation if any manager had performed well after Ferguson.

If they had just thrown in 2 million to hire a decent coach and get rid of San Dezi, things wouldn't have been so turbulent.

But it takes skill to play like that, just like Glazer did.

He entered the field with his teammates.

Listening to the thunderous cheers.

Lu Deyang believes that with him having played for Manchester United, the team's strength will double.

Even if the results aren't good later on, there will still be kids who want the Manchester United number 7 jersey coming to Old Trafford.

That's the power of a superstar.

A team is a symbol, and star players make that symbol concrete.

Halftime had passed, and the enthusiasm at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome showed no signs of waning; on the contrary, it intensified.

The kickoffs have begun.

Cantona passed the ball across the box and then received another pass from McClair, immediately followed by a back pass.

He didn't really like McClair, that old fox.

There's no real animosity, but you always manage to avoid crossing his boundaries. It's a clever way of interacting, always keeping a safe distance—not too enthusiastic, but not too distant either.

However, on the field, McClair was indeed a good teammate.

He even thought so of his competitors.

That guy is very clear-headed.

He always knows exactly when to shine, when to use his movement to create opportunities for his teammates, or when to go up and suppress the defenders; he always knows how to position himself correctly.

This is not easy in itself.

Even he himself couldn't do it.

This reminded Cantona of Dennis Irwin.

That guy is always the quickest to react and figure out what to do, but Erwin doesn't like to be in the spotlight, and he doesn't even like reporters.

All this thinking stems from Cantona's strong desire to show off and prove the French team wrong.

He was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Redondo is very solid when he has the ball in midfield, and he always finds the best route when passing forward or backward.

Michel knew he couldn't keep up with the pace and wanted Enrique to press the ball.

But Enrique didn't dare leave Ludwig's side at all.

If he leaves, Redondo will definitely pass the ball to the left wing.

Both Raul and Zamorano began to drop back, increasing the pressure in midfield.

Seeing this, Redondo quickly made a direct pass to Cantona and ran forward to try and avoid being dispossessed.

But this time Cantona didn't pass back; instead, he flicked the ball with his right foot and charged straight into Real Madrid's half.

Laudrup's attempt to intercept Cantona failed.

But then Hierro slid in and tackled the ball behind Cantona.

Laudrup immediately seemed like a different person. The Danish superstar's attacking ability goes without saying. This time, before Redondo could even press him, he immediately found Michel with a long, low pass while on the move.

When Michel got the ball, Irwin pressed him down.

He quickly passed the ball back to Qindo, who waited two seconds before passing it diagonally to Erwin, who was running towards the center.

Control the situation for a while to create opportunities for your teammates to move forward.

Michel received the ball and attempted to lob it into the penalty area, but it wasn't high enough, and Pallister easily poked the ball away.

However, the ball landed not far from the edge of the penalty area, and Laudrup, who had come up, unleashed a powerful right-footed shot. Schmeichel was a step too late in his dive, and the ball nestled into the goal.

Laudrup was ecstatic after scoring the goal.

After being dominated for half the game, they finally managed to score.

Real Madrid players were also venting their frustrations.

Raul celebrated with his teammates, feeling somewhat embarrassed about his earlier consideration of joining Manchester United.

That's too indecisive.

Looking at it now, Real Madrid and Manchester United are not much different, just as Hierro said.

If they score again later, it will be a tie, and then it will be a game-winning goal.

The young Raúl González Blanco has already won his first Champions League title in his dream life.

"Real Madrid scored a goal early in the second half, and that goal was very important."

"Yes, this goal gave Real Madrid hope of equalizing and greatly boosted their morale. Most importantly, Real Madrid finally found a way to break through. Although Real Madrid had a lot of attacking opportunities in the first half, they couldn't break through Manchester United's goal. I believe they will continue to score after this goal."

The Merleigh fans in the stands were all incredibly excited.

Yes, that's right.

How could the prestigious Real Madrid possibly lose?

Today, we will showcase Real Madrid's spirit to the world in this highly anticipated final.

"What are you looking at?"

Cantona looked at McClair with annoyance and asked.

McClair rolled his eyes. This guy was acting like a dog.

You were the one who lost possession of the ball and got caught on the counter-attack.

He just glanced over there, and Cantona immediately bit him.

"Don't worry too much, we'll score again later," McClair advised.

It's not good to say nothing at this time.

However, Cantona was unimpressed, snorted, and walked straight back.

McClair pursed his lips, not taking it to heart.

There are a lot of grumpy lunatics in the football world; if you got angry with them, you would have died of anger long ago.

As long as you have the ability to lead me to victory, I'll happily listen to your insults as long as they're not too excessive—that's his current mindset.

"Damn bastards!"

Schmeichel cursed.

But no one responded.

Erwin leaned closer to Lu Deyang and said, "What are you thinking about, Deyang? Your teammates are all so energetic, aren't they?"

"They really have a lot of energy, which is great."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"Peter has a terrible temper."

Erwin shook his head and said.

He rarely says things like that.

"It's okay, he'll be happy if he scores another goal."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Erwin glanced at Enrique, knowing that Enrique was closely marking Lu Deyang.

He advised, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself; the team isn't your responsibility."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lu Deyang said nonchalantly.

Seeing this, Erwin returned to his position.

Schmeichel threw the ball forward, and Cantona passed it back to Ludjohn after the kickoff.

Lu Deyang made a hand gesture directly to Redondo.

My teammates are having some mental issues, so scoring a goal will do the trick.

Redondo immediately understood, and with a flick of his right foot, he made a long pass to the right wing, then turned and passed the ball to the left wing.

As Lu Deyang ran, he tucked his right foot inward into a pigeon-toed position, allowing the ball to slide directly forward.

He flicked the ball with his right foot and continued dribbling forward.

Luis Enrique didn't dare let Lu Deyang pick up speed, so he went up and slid in with a tackle.

click -

Lu Deyang seized the opportunity and gently flicked the ball forward, then stepped over it.

Enrique's sliding tackle had no effect whatsoever.

It's just like Lu Deyang dribbling the ball normally.

Enrique, clearly alarmed, didn't even get up. He remained seated on the grass and shouted back, "Foul! Don't let him dribble the ball himself!"

Laudrup is chasing back at full speed.

But once he crossed the center line, Lu Deyang picked up speed.

Hierro tried to join in the pressing, but Lu Deyang quickly fell behind him.

He quickly returned to his defensive zone to prepare for a second defensive maneuver.

Qinduo, who was waiting near the penalty area, continued to push Lu Deyang out of the penalty area, but he quickly left Lu Deyang behind.

The old border guard gritted his teeth and ran after him.

The two were getting closer and closer to the finish line, but he was always just one step short.

Qin Duo knew that this step would be fatal.

He gave it his all.

Snapped--

However, Lu Deyang still delivered a cross from just before the goal line.

Qin Duo tried to block the ball, but it was too late; the ball flew directly to the far post.

Rafael Alcorta headed the ball away from the goal.

McClair rushed forward, adjusted his left foot slightly, and fired a shot that flew into the far corner of the goal.

One minute after Real Madrid scored, Manchester United scored again.

boom--

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

"Deyang!!!"

Manchester United fans chanted Lu Deyang's name.

McClair, who scored the goal, quickly rushed to the left wing, put his arm around Lu Deyang's shoulder, and waved his arms wildly towards the stands.

Oh shit.

Who said he's going to be sold by Manchester United?

Brian McClair can still score goals in the Champions League.

Gold watches are fucking awesome.

This is a family secret technique.

When I have a son in the future, I will also teach him this.

It doesn't matter if you're not good enough yourself, as long as someone can carry you to victory.

Is playing football all about skill?
Stop joking! Playing football is all about having lots of brothers. Whoever has the strongest brothers wins!
With about 40 minutes left in the game, McClair felt that Manchester United were just one step away from victory.

"Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!!!"

Ferguson placed his hands on Kidd's shoulders.

The two retired players, whose combined age is 100, were as excited as children.

"We should celebrate properly today."

"Yes, Brian."

"Then we must drink a lot of alcohol today!"

"Yes, Brian."

"How about you treat the whole team to drinks?"

“Yes, Fuck Brian…”

Ferguson immediately calmed down and said, "Let the Chairman spend this money."

Kidd nodded quickly.

He was so excited that he almost forgot himself.

This old man not only holds grudges, but he's also good at saving money.

Bobby Charlton jumped up in the stands.

Seven-time champions!

That's more than just numbers.

As a player, he is well aware of how difficult it is to achieve such results under the current schedule.

When Manchester United first started playing in the Champions League, this was also the biggest challenge they faced.

The FA's unwillingness to adjust the schedule was the direct cause of the plane crash; otherwise, Manchester United's chartered plane wouldn't have insisted on taking a test flight in such bad weather. This gave him a sense of karmic retribution.

Similarly, the FA was uncooperative and even created difficulties for them.

But these children succeeded.

Thinking of this, the old captain couldn't help but get teary-eyed.

He wished he could fly back to Manchester right after the game and tell his teammates the good news at their graves.

"...Madrid, onward, Madrid!"

The fans haven't given up, so the players naturally have no reason to give up either.

Zamorano kicked off and passed the ball to Raul, who immediately passed it back.

Laudrup is still trying to dribble forward himself; he's hesitant to push too far forward on his own right now.

However, teammates who have been arranged to meet in advance can easily identify the problem.

With someone defending his side, Michel immediately lobbed the ball to Sarazos.

Sarazos didn't take Gary Neville seriously and tried to cut inside with his left foot.

Gary Neville seized the opportunity and poked the ball directly behind Sarazos.

When Keane got the ball, Michel pressed him.

Keane, not daring to turn around completely, made a diagonal pass to Lu Deyang.

whoosh-

Lu Deyang started moving immediately, instantly leaving Enrique behind.

He had just crossed the center line when Luis Enrique was no longer visible on the camera.

Even Real Madrid fans found it outrageous; the speed was practically like flying low over the grass.

Lu Deyang dribbled diagonally towards the middle.

The Real Madrid players, who were already very focused on him, concentrated their defensive attention on Lu Deyang. Both the players on the left and right flanks relaxed their marking of those around them.

Seeing this, Lu Deyang immediately raised his hand to signal his teammates to move forward.

Cantona and McClair quickly launched a double-door attack.

Lu Deyang, who was dribbling the ball to the right, suddenly sent a through ball.

The ball was passed between Hierro and Alcorta into the penalty area, where Cantona got to it first and his low shot was narrowly blocked by Buyo and went out of bounds.

"Manchester United's attacks come wave after wave, can Real Madrid hold on?"

"We previously speculated that Real Madrid had a chance to equalize, but judging from the current situation, Real Madrid will probably concede another goal."

"Yes, if Real Madrid doesn't want to lose the championship trophy, they must withstand this wave of attacks and then launch their own counter-attacks to continue scoring."

"Dejan's speed is terrifying; he can easily create a one-on-one opportunity with just a few runs."

Both teams made good use of the flanks today.

The biggest difference is that Lu Deyang's speed is much stronger than Real Madrid's wingers.

This is a very intuitive comparison.

Every time Lu Deyang starts his run, he gets past Enrique and Cindo at least once, and may even take on all the defenders on his own.

However, neither of Real Madrid's wingers possessed this ability; sometimes they simply crossed the ball from the flanks into the penalty area, highlighting the significant gap in skill.

They can't get past anyone, and they don't attract many defenders either.

This makes it difficult for Real Madrid to break through the middle when they attack.

Even fans could see that Lu Deyang created an opportunity as soon as he rushed up during the attack.

At Lu Deyang's signal, Beckham stood in the corner flag area.

Even though it was his second time participating in the Champions League final, he still couldn't help but get excited.

He was ridiculed by many people and the media for his previous incident of being sent to the police.

So today his tactical execution was excellent, and he didn't have many of his own ideas. Now that it's time for his strongest area, Beckham still wants to give it a try.

What if you make a contribution?

I don't need much, just one more assist would be enough.

I carefully observed the situation inside the restricted area.

Beckham wanted to try passing to the edge of the box, but Lu Deyang's ability to make late runs into the box was very strong.

However, Real Madrid seemed to be wary of this and specifically positioned Sarazos at the edge of the penalty area.

"Hurry up and kick off, don't waste time!"

Beckham was still thinking, but the Real Madrid players were already getting impatient.

After being reminded by the referee, he could only take a run-up and kick the ball out.

Middle lane!

The ball wasn't passed much, and McClair successfully headed it, but Calver, who was standing near the post, jumped and deflected it away.

Another corner kick.

Beckham ran straight to the corner flag area on the right wing.

The corner kick needs to be moved to a different position.

He suddenly discovered a problem.

Now fewer teammates are questioning him.

Besides ability, Lu Deyang was certainly a factor.

It seems his father was right; it's beneficial to go out and play with Lu Deyang more often.

This time, the teammates didn't go into the penalty area much, probably because they were afraid of being attacked on the counterattack.

Beckham was somewhat unconvinced.

This shows a lack of trust in him.

After his run-up, he chipped the ball towards the center. Although Cantona successfully headed the ball, it flew towards the left side of the penalty area.

The Real Madrid players were still turning around.

Yero's eyelids twitched as he saw a red figure approaching.

Lu Deyang!
Lu Deyang stretched out his left foot, unloaded the ball in front of him, took a step forward, and then slammed it out to the side.

boom--

Having fewer players in the penalty area has its advantages; there's a wide-open space in front of the goal with virtually no obstacles. Paco Buyo was positioned slightly ahead, and he was a step too slow when he lunged to the side. The ball flew quickly under him and into the goal.

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

"Dejan Goal!!!!!!!!!!"

"4:1!!!!!!!!!!"

"Dejan helped Manchester United secure the title!"

"Dejan first delivered a crucial pass, creating an opportunity for Cantona, which led to the corner kick. Then, during this attack, he received a header from Cantona and flicked it on, successfully scoring a goal."

"Dejan's breakthroughs on the left wing today were simply unstoppable. How dare other players have their own nicknames in that area? No matter who plays on the left, they will only feel ashamed seeing Dejan's performance. In the history of football, Dejan is the best left winger, without a doubt!" "Beckham should really be glad he's a right-winger!"

again.

Many Manchester United fans in the stands had already begun celebrating the championship ahead of schedule.

They held up Lu Deyang's poster and the trophy they made.

We eagerly await the birth of the seven-time champion.

Galliani sat in the stands, his eyes burning with passion.

He was able to get to this point because of Lu Deyang.

It would be even better if we could bring Lu Deyang to San Siro.

Acquiring a team is not the goal, but merely a means to make money.

He felt that even though the Italian economy wasn't doing well, AC Milan's brand value hadn't been fully realized.

Once it's developed, he can make a fortune.

As for turning around and investing?

Berlusconi's actions made him want to laugh.

Look at Manchester United, after signing Lu Deyang, they basically didn't make any more signings.

This is the most important part.

He even suspects that Manchester United must have made a profit in last summer's transfer window.

A football club that can achieve this level of excellence is truly impressive.

Maintaining competitiveness and even making money during transfer windows means you can't lose money playing football this way.

……

"Watch out, guys."

Hiero continued to remind him loudly.

Manchester United's attacking speed is too fast; if you're not focused for even a moment, you'll be scored against.

Qin Duo was too lazy to explain at this point.

It's unstoppable, truly unstoppable.

Enrique was also shaking his head repeatedly.

He did everything he could today.

However, the idea of ​​exchanging Lu Deyang one-on-one likely failed.

The versatile player looked towards the sidelines, hoping the head coach could do something.

Without adjustments, Real Madrid has no chance at all.

Arsenio grinned and yelled at the players to get up and warm up.

The Real Madrid manager has prepared for the worst.

He succeeded Valdano mid-season, so it seems like he won't be playing next season.

Don't assume that just because he led his team to the finals, Sanz will give him a break.

That bastard is more like the head of a mafia family than the club president.

Sigh, I might not even be able to get the penalty for breach of contract.

At this point, the only option is to switch players and try to salvage the situation.

Just as he was considering who to substitute, Manchester United successfully won the ball back.

It was another attack launched from the left flank.

After Lu Deyang dribbled past Enrique with a fritter, he sent the ball more than ten meters away, using his speed to overtake Qin Duo and forcefully cut inside before shooting. Buyo was completely helpless at close range.

Calvo sprinted back to the goal line and slid in to block the ball out of bounds.

"Substitutions have been made: Amavisca replaces Luis Enrique, and Manolo Sanchis replaces Alcorta. Real Madrid has used up two substitutions at once."

"Yes, this is probably an attempt to strengthen the defense, but we'll have to wait and see how effective it is."

Lu Deyang felt that this substitution was not very rational.

Sohai particularly likes to make substitutions before corner kicks, and then he loses the ball from those corner kicks.

This isn't superstition; it's just that the interruption immediately relieved the defending player.

My attention span is short.

That's why it's easy to lose possession when the opponent makes a substitution before taking a corner kick.

Attacking players will indeed be affected, but being affected won't necessarily lead to a goal conceded; they are the attacking side.

This is not a good habit for a coach.

Lu Deyang simply stood in the middle lane, waiting for an opportunity.

The penalty area was packed with players from both sides, so crowded that it was like a sardine can.

He stood in the middle, and Real Madrid focused their defense there.

The area in front of the gate is a key area.

Hierro stood directly behind Lu Deyang, while Michelle stood in front of Lu Deyang.

Beckham took a look and decided to contact Lu Deyang after all.

beep—

After taking a run-up, he launched the ball towards the center of the penalty area. Just as Lu Deyang was about to jump, he noticed Buyo rushing out out of the corner of his eye.

The Real Madrid goalkeeper jumped up and punched the ball out of the penalty area with both fists.

Having your hands is a huge advantage; no matter how good your jumping ability is, it's useless.

But the next second, Real Madrid fans' hearts were in their throats.

Cantona easily received the ball at the top of the penalty arc, took a step back, and immediately turned and volleyed it into the right side of the goal, without touching any players from either side.

5: 1!

After scoring, Cantona spread his arms wide and looked around the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Scored twice!

It's a loss for the French national team that they didn't bring the players.

"It's over. There are still 20 minutes left, but Real Madrid has no chance of turning things around at 5-1."

"Yes, Real Madrid was killed early today. Cantona, Beckham, and McClair delivered a brilliant ensemble, making this match the most magnificent movement of the summer, while Dejan was the conductor of the orchestra, pointing the way for the entire team."

"An unprecedented seven titles! Manchester United will set a record that is unprecedented and will be hard to surpass in the future. No team will ever win so many titles in a single season again, not even a Premier League team. Even if there are more cup competitions later, such a miracle will never be replicated."

"Yes, Ferguson and his disciples created a new dynasty, and most importantly, he decided to sign Dejan, who was still recovering from injury."

"Bryan Kidd, this assistant coach is also Busby's son, and the Manchester United trio are sitting in the stands. Busby's kids should be very happy to witness the birth of another dynasty for the team!"

A wild celebration.

Manchester United players are celebrating.

The substitutes rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly.

The game looks like it's not over yet, but it's practically over.

Even the Real Madrid players didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

If you ask them what they think, they just want to finish as soon as possible and go back to the locker room to rest.

A final match that was destined to be lost was incredibly agonizing.

Sanchis, as Real Madrid's veteran captain, was brought on under these circumstances and didn't even know what he was supposed to do.

Trailing by four goals, no matter what he says, the team can't change the situation.

The veteran even complained to the head coach about why he was substituted in when he wasn't fully recovered from his injury.

Raul looked at the excited Manchester United players with a blank expression.

I'm starting to question the meaning of life.

During halftime, I thought Real Madrid and Manchester United were about the same level.

However, judging from the score, that's not the case.

This match wasn't entirely without its rewards; at least I got to compete against Lu Deyang and truly experience what strength is all about.

Looking at Lu Deyang surrounded by his teammates, he couldn't figure out how to beat them.

He has always felt very lucky that Atletico Madrid's youth academy was disbanded but still managed to attract Real Madrid's attention.

But now, Real Madrid doesn't seem so great after all.

This prince of the Bernabéu, just before turning 19, tasted the bitterest defeat of his life in the final...
