If you are a brother, come and play football

Totti finally made up his mind.

Therefore, it's likely that Milan won't be changing players for a long time to come.

Italian players have really long careers.

This season alone, former teammate Verjoward is 38 and still at Milan, Baresi is 37, and Filippo Galli is 34. The three defenders combined are over 100 years old.

Then come two more young guys who look young but can play until they're in their 40s.

Twenty years from now, it'll still be Totti and Buffon.

It’s interesting to think about it.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed with Galliani.

Despite being illiterate, the Little Prince's performance on the field was quite impressive.

Even if a player wants to leave, Roma won't let him go easily.

A final match ultimately added a new romance to the summer.

Whether you like Germans or not, their victory this time was exceptionally poignant.

It perfectly illustrates what football is, and why Lineker said those words.

Such a final will inspire a new generation of young people to aspire to football. The major tournaments of the 90s were the greatest fairy tales, with their formats, various reforms, and unexpected events making each tournament noteworthy.

Lu Deyang returned to Manchester.

They should at least give the fans an explanation.

We can't just run away like a thief.

The "King of the Road" earns a high salary at Manchester United, and he deserves it.

It's best to part ways amicably.

July 1, Old Trafford Stadium.

Only one day had passed since that thrilling final.

But Old Trafford was packed with fans.

New signing Desailly made his debut but did not cause much of a stir.

Desailly himself knew he wasn't the main character today, and he wasn't paying much attention when juggling the ball.

Ferguson, Redondo, and Ludwig stood together in the passageway.

The old Scottish man was quite easygoing, even laughing and saying, "I'll stick it out for a few more years, maybe I can come back and take over when you retire."

"You're far from retiring."

Lu Deyang smiled.

Ferguson had to wait a long time before even considering retirement.

Not to mention actually retiring.

The main problem is that I can't let go.

Reviving a once-powerful family from scratch – this is a true story on FM (a Chinese live streaming platform).

If it weren't for his physical limitations and advanced age, he probably could have continued coaching indefinitely, until Klopp and Guardiola took over after the professor left.

Some people are born to love fighting.

If it weren't for these challengers in the Premier League, he wouldn't be so keen on continuing to manage.

Desailly's appearance has ended.

The Dream Theater DJ shouted enthusiastically, "Next up, please welcome our number 7, Dejan!!!"

"Go."

Ferguson smiled and patted Lu Deyang's arm.

Lu Deyang walked directly to the players' tunnel.

boom--

As Lu Deyang walked out of the players' tunnel, a huge cheer erupted in Old Trafford.

"Deyang!"

The fans did not hurl insults at him for transferring and leaving the team.

Lu Deyang waved and took the microphone from Martin Edwards.

After the room quieted down a bit, he said, "The weather and food in England are a bit bad, but in Manchester, you changed everything with your passion. I'm very happy to wear the Manchester United shirt and win so many honors with the team over the past two seasons..."

The theater erupted in cheers once again.

Lu Deyang had to pause for a moment.

The fans were incredibly enthusiastic, and Lu Deyang could only gesture for them to stop before continuing, "Old Trafford is called the Theatre of Dreams because it's a place where your dreams can truly come true. For some reasons, I want to leave, but I will always remember this time."

After speaking, Lu Deyang looked at Redondo, who was walking out of the passage, and handed him the microphone with a smile.

My good brother said more.

That's how sensitive and perceptive people are.

She even shed tears at the Dream Theater.

Lu Deyang didn't think there was any problem.

After Redondo finished speaking, the two left together and went to the airport.

They boarded a chartered plane and flew directly to Milan.

the same day.

The difference between morning and afternoon.

The two arrived in Milan at a little after 2 p.m.

As soon as he stepped out of the terminal, he was surrounded by fans.

"Deyang!"

Redondo remarked, "An end is another beginning, isn't it?"

"Of course, but we still need to hurry."

Lu Deyang has already seen the Milan management.

They clearly hadn't expected so many fans to show up, and even after contacting the city hall, they still couldn't quell the fans' enthusiasm.

It took about 30 minutes for the situation to improve slightly.

Lu Deyang and Redondo got into the AC Milan club's car together.

Galliani hadn't expected the two of them to sit in the back together, so he arranged for two cars.

However, since that's the case, he also sat in the passenger seat and said, "The fans have been waiting for a long time. Some fans have already appeared at the San Siro this morning."

"They've really worked hard."

Lu Deyang said.

"It's not hard work, and the fans are happy to do it."

Galliani said with a smile, "I heard that Fernando used to have to come to Milan to get a haircut, so this is much more convenient for him now."

Redondo nodded without saying anything.

I chatted with Galliani the whole way.

There are also many posters related to them on the streets.

We finally arrived at the San Siro stadium around 3 p.m.

The TV station's live broadcast van followed closely behind, and the San Siro's large screen was also showing the broadcast progress. As the two men got out of the van, before they even entered the stadium, they were greeted with cheers.

However, the meet-and-greet is still a long way off.

The two of them made some simple preparations and then went to the press conference together.

After signing the contracts, Lu Deyang and Redondo exchanged contracts with Galliani.

This is just a process; in reality, the contract was signed long ago.

He then raised his Milan jersey.

Click, click——

The shutter sounds were continuous.

"Dejan, why did you come to Milan?"

Do you think you and Baggio will have good chemistry, Dejan?

"Did you leave England because of the Princess, Dejan?"

"Who is your favorite player in the Milan team, Dejan?"

"Fernando, the British think you like men, what do you say?"

"..."

The reporters immediately began asking questions.

Lu Deyang nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "I can only answer a few questions; I can't delay the unveiling ceremony. I chose Milan because they were very sincere, and I believe you wouldn't refuse a $950 million annual salary. A player's career isn't long, so I'm not ashamed to pursue a high salary. Salary isn't my top priority, but it's still a very important aspect. As for Milan's favorite player, it should be Paolo Maldini; he's tenth in the Ballon d'Or!"

The audience burst into laughter.

came back!
They've started teasing Maldini about his tenth Ballon d'Or ranking again.

"What about Baggio and Van Basten? It's said that Van Basten stayed because of you. Who do you think you have better chemistry with?"

The reporter pressed for an answer.

“I can actually play with a lot of players. Roberto and I both like to have the ball more, but I don’t think it’s a problem. After all, the ball should be given to the better players. I believe Roberto would be willing to give the ball to me.”

Lu Deyang joked.

He even dared to say to his face that he was better than Baggio.

The reporters had no doubt about this.

A British journalist raised his hand and asked, "Dejan, will the princess reside in Milan long-term?"

Lu Deyang said, "I can tell you this in advance, but she bought a house in Milan a long time ago. Milan is a historical city and a fashion capital, and the natural scenery nearby is also good. I believe many people would like to settle here."

"What would you like to say about the European Championship final that just ended, Dejan?"

the reporter asked.

"One last question," Lu Deyang said, holding up one finger. "I guessed the Germans would win, but I didn't expect them to win the way they did. The German team's performance deserves respect."

After speaking, Lu Deyang pushed the microphone forward.

Redondo grabbed the microphone and said directly, "I'll only answer this one question: I like women. That's all, thank you."

After saying that, Redondo stood up immediately.

That's what makes a good brother so unique.

Lu Deyang got up and walked with him to the locker room to change his gear.

The two of them changed their equipment together before walking into the passage.

Galliani is already standing in the center of the field.

The bald man, dressed in a black suit, looked dashing and full of vigor.

He said into the microphone, "Many people say I missed out on signing Dejan, that I made a huge mistake. I don't deny that failing to sign Dejan was a mistake, but at the time, I believe no one could have imagined that Dejan would perform like that in his first season in the First Division. However, none of that matters anymore, because I made up for my previous mistake and successfully signed Dejan!!!"

boom--

Cheers erupted at San Siro.

The Rossoneri were ecstatic.

Only when they consistently lose to Sampdoria more than twice a season will they truly understand what this signing means.

$7000 million is indeed an exaggeration.

Lu Deyang's performance justifies the price.

Some fans even felt the transfer fee was cheap, considering Lu Deyang's performance.

Now they can consistently teach Juventus and Inter Milan a lesson.

From the stands, Paolo Maldini sighed and said, "I never expected it to turn out like this."

Baresi slapped him hard on the back and said, "Stop pretending, kid. I heard from Adriana that you jumped around in the dining room for half an hour after seeing the newspaper that Dejan signed a contract."

Paul Ma: ...

The tea party between ladies wasn't exactly a friendly affair for him.

Is it okay to tell other teammates' wives about something like this?

"You've never beaten Dejan either, Captain."

Paul Ma said.

“But I didn’t make that bad of a performance,” Franco Baresi said.

Paolo Maldini rolled his eyes.

How could he know if it was true or false? After all, he hadn't installed surveillance cameras in Baresi's house.

Lu Deyang and Redondo entered the stadium together.

Seeing Lu Deyang put on Milan's number 7 jersey, Ma Baolu breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he believed that no one wanted to be Lu Deyang's opponent, including himself.

Neither of them tried any fancy tricks when they entered the field to juggle the ball.

Since it was just the two of them playing together, they cooperated and played for a while.

A few minutes later, Redondo failed to catch the ball, and the brief juggling session ended.

Lu Deyang gestured for Lei Dongduo to speak first.

Redondo, holding the microphone, said: "I really like AC Milan when I play in Argentina. It's a team with a rich history and great strength. It's a great honor to play here."

It ended in just a few sentences.

However, the Rossoneri were very accommodating.

"Fernando!"

They were shouting his name.

Although Redondo's brilliance was completely overshadowed by Lu Deyang, Lu Deyang was the main focus in transfer reports.

However, Redondo's level is undeniable, and Milan fans are very happy to have brought in such a high-caliber player.

Redondo's impact is something that even fans might not realize.

The explanations from various countries are also constantly emphasizing this.

More importantly, Redondo is not just a metronome; he often makes forward runs to provide assists.

This is a very intuitive representation.

No team in the world would not want a player like that.

Lu Deyang simply copied Redondo's words verbatim.

Many fans laughed.

But this was met with even more enthusiastic cheers.

This is Lu Deyang!
Lu Deyang and Redondo kicked several more of the signed balls into the stands before the unveiling ceremony was finally over.

They haven't bought a house yet, and AC Milan wanted to arrange a hotel for them, but they refused.

The house in Genoa isn't far from Milan, so I can just go back and stay there.

Ultimately, the hotel was somewhat uncomfortable.

The house had been uninhabited for a long time, and a lot of dust had accumulated.

You'll need to hire a cleaning company afterwards.

However, Lu Deyang still did a quick cleaning before ordering takeout.

There were many reports on television about their appearance.

The unveiling ceremony is not important; what matters is the future landscape of Serie A.

Their return to Italy will inevitably impact the dominance of other teams.

The next day.

The Italian media gave it extensive coverage.

The Gazzetta dello Sport published an interview with Kruedelli, a die-hard Milan fan and commentator, in which he excitedly exclaimed: "My God, this is simply the most wonderful gift I've ever received in my life, it's like a dream. Even among dreams, this could be considered the most beautiful dream. Because of Dejan, I missed out on Milan, and I thought we would never cross paths again, only able to watch Dejan beat Milan with different teams. I never expected Dejan to actually come to Milan! Expensive? I don't think Dejan's transfer fee is expensive. Dejan's influence transcends the field, as does his ability and skill. I can already predict that this is the best signing in Milan's 100-year history, without exception!"

*La Gazzetta dello Sport* wrote: "AC Milan's interest in Francesco Totti likely stems from Dejan Damjanović. We've received inside information that Roma and AC Milan are in talks regarding Totti's transfer. Interestingly, the young man, who enjoys giving interviews, has refused to comment on the matter, suggesting that Totti is very keen to go to Milan." *Tuttosport* stated: "AC Milan acquired Dejan Damjanović in a very extravagant way, which is not good for football. It's hard to imagine a player worth tens of millions of dollars in the future; it's outrageous. This transfer fee could even buy a decent Serie A team."

The lack of a stadium is a major drawback.

Italian Serie A teams generally don't sell for high prices.

This was also the case during Serie A's most glorious period.

The Sensi family didn't spend too much money when they bought Rome.

This is still a strong team from a big city.

This is a fatal flaw in Serie A. Even with the conditions of the Premier League, not having their own home stadium is a significant limitation for Serie A teams.

Looking across the entire football world, only Italy is like this.

All the teams in the Portuguese and Dutch leagues have their own stadiums.

After getting up, Lu Deyang became the busiest person, receiving many phone calls.

"Dejan, can't we just leave aside the matter of finishing tenth in the Ballon d'Or?" Maldini said with a hint of helplessness on the other end of the phone.

"I was just trying to acknowledge your ability, Paul, you're tenth in the Ballon d'Or!"

Lu Deyang said exaggeratedly.

Maldini pleaded, "The newspapers are mocking me again. Please choose someone else next time."

“But I’m not familiar with anyone else, and we’re friends, this is how I express friendship,” Lu Deyang said.

"Could you try a different approach?"

Lu Deyang asked, "Would you like to sit outside Monica's Burger?"

"Forget it, tenth in the Ballon d'Or is fine."

Maldini laughed and hung up the phone.

Compared to Mancini, his situation is not as difficult to accept.

Galliani acted quickly.

7 month 4 day.

AC Milan held a press conference, where Galliani told reporters, "After tireless negotiations, we signed Francesco Totti for $800 million plus George Weah. Francesco is the most talented player in Italy, and we hope the team can establish itself domestically and have more Italian players in the starting lineup."

It's as if they're very socially responsible.

A few days later, the princess and Monica arrived in Milan and finally finalized the house purchase.

This time, I bought a house that is bigger than the ones I bought in Genoa and Cheshire. It occupies 7000 square meters of land and has a building area of 800 square meters. It has a private tennis court, a swimming pool and a mini golf course.

Large golf courses are typically tens of hectares in size, much larger than this.

Such a large villa is rare in Milan.

They're usually in places like Sardinia.

Monica and the Princess are very happy with their new home and plan to hold a housewarming party when Sachiko comes to Milan after her trip.

Redondo didn't stay nearby this time.

He chose to buy a luxury apartment in downtown Milan.

After all, Lu Deyang's new home is not far from their villa in Genoa; it's a short drive away.

Redondo felt there was no need to buy another set.

However, Lu Deyang believes that the reason he prefers to live in the center of Milan is because he prefers to live there.

The news of Lu Guowang buying a house also made the newspapers.

It's just The Sun.

This news has greatly excited Milan fans, as it at least indicates that Lu Deyang is prepared to stay in Milan long-term.

AC Milan resumed training in mid-July.

However, not all players will return to the team; those who participated in the European Championship in the summer will have an extra week of vacation.

The same applies to Lu Deyang and Redondo.

Although neither of them played in the European Championship, Manchester United's schedule was too congested, and the Champions League final meant they had almost two weeks' break later than the Serie A players.

Even with a one-week extension, the holiday is still almost over.

Lu Deyang simply took his girlfriends to Boyetto Beach in Cagliari for a vacation.

This is Cagliari's most famous beach, with crystal-clear water that attracts many tourists from all over the world every summer.

Monica, wearing sunglasses, lay under a parasol, attracting a lot of attention.

The bikini could hardly accommodate the pair of breasts that the King of Land had pushed to their limits; they were almost squeezed out.

"You should wear a one-piece swimsuit."

Lu Deyang said irritably.

I'll be more careful next time.

Monica said with a smile.

The princess, sitting on a beach chair, glanced down and glared at Monica.

Monica immediately made a face at her, which made the princess even angrier; her figure was only average.

Some fans recognized Lu Deyang and tried to strike up a conversation, but unfortunately he was accompanied by two girls.

"It's really strange that Fernando didn't come along."

Monica changed the subject.

“He’s been busy writing his autobiography lately,” Lu Deyang said.

"You're writing an autobiography so early?"

"Monica asked."

Redondo has only been in Europe for a few years.

It's usually players who are in their late 30s or at the end of their careers who think about publishing an autobiography.

“He wants to write it himself, so starting early is not a problem,” Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"I never expected him to have such thoughts."

Monica exclaimed in amazement.

Although I've always sensed that Redondo is different from ordinary players, I'm still always surprised.

Redondo's actions were difficult for her to understand.

"I think it's good too, at least it's something I wrote myself."

The princess said, "I don't have to worry about my own writing being misinterpreted by reporters."

"Is such that."

Lu Deyang said, "That's what Fernando meant; he wanted his autobiography to express his true self."

"What is the title of his autobiography?"

"Monica asked."

"I don't know, but I think 'My Struggle' is very good."

Lu Deyang said.

Monica gave him a playful slap.

The group had a great time in Cagliari.

Unfortunately, with reporters following us the whole time, we couldn't find a less crowded place to do anything exciting.

Otherwise, it would immediately make the newspapers because of the field battle.

Even so, the three of them had a great time at the hotel.

Monica simply used the excuse of having a job to run away.

The princess, left behind, could only raise the white flag, secretly resenting the woman for being disloyal.

July 20th finally arrived, the day I was to return to the team.

Lu Deyang didn't ride a motorcycle, but drove his Mercedes to Milanello.

The fans were waiting at the entrance of the training base early.

They waved enthusiastically whenever they saw Lu Deyang's car.

Lu Deyang cooperated by stopping the car, rolling down the window to check the time, and said, "I have 10 minutes. I can sign autographs, but I won't answer questions."

The fans readily handed over autographed books.

"To whom?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"Francisco Poli!" a fan exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay, wishing Francisco Poli good health and happiness forever, your Dejan."

After signing, Lu Deyang took another book.

"Angela!"

The female fan exclaimed excitedly.

"May Angela always be beautiful."

After Lu Deyang signed the document and handed it over, the female fan unexpectedly leaned down and kissed him on the cheek.

Lu Deyang, feeling a bit overwhelmed, quickly waved his hand with a smile and started the car.

If this continues, Lu Qiuwang's face will be covered in lipstick marks.
