If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 276 There is only one Roberto in Italy (Please subscribe)

Lu Deyang hung up the phone.

I also feel very helpless.

You can't understand what the other person is thinking just by looking at a screen.

It's easy to get caught up in it.

A girlfriend who never argues with you and always cares about you is much better than a girl you meet normally.

Lu Deyang didn't intend to persuade; he believed in teaching people through experience, and he was confident they would learn.

Suspected of receiving stolen goods, that's blatant arrogance; the police haven't found any evidence.

After a little arrangement, the Gypsy will go in.

Let the newspapers expose this, write something nice, praise Beckham's compassion, and then let Ferguson and his parents handle the real situation. Love-struck? Ferguson will give you a good beating.

Lu Deyang sometimes marvels at himself, saying that he is truly one of the best teammates.

They even help with things like dating.

The most important thing is to persuade Beckham not to have an online relationship.

Don't be fooled into thinking you're dating someone online when you receive a picture of Adriana Lima. There are just too many fake photos these days.

Even after 2000, some people still used photos of Japanese and Korean celebrities to impersonate themselves and engage in online dating.

A bunch of cats and tigers.

12 month 15 day.

The entire Milan team boarded the bus bound for Genoa.

This away game is too close.

"It feels a bit nostalgic to be back playing at the Ferraris Stadium this time."

Redondo looked out the window and said, "I never imagined that my first stop in Europe would be Sampdoria."

"I knew we'd get along well just from the advice I gave my boss."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Redondo also looked quite emotional.

If he went to La Liga, things might be a different story.

As soon as we arrived in Genoa, the roadsides became lively.

Occasionally, a Sampdoria fan or a Sampdoria fan will spontaneously shout the names of Ludjohnsen or Redondo.

"Man, that's what a defender is like."

Maldini turned to Wiljoward and said.

The defensive players performed well overall, but their presence was surprisingly low.

With a good defensive system, the opponent's attack is often thwarted in advance, and there is no need for defenders to come to the rescue.

Wiljoward shook his head.

He left the team for Juventus, and now he's back in Milan.

It's normal that fans don't like him.

Despite having played for Sampdoria for many years, AC Milan is already his seventh team.

The bus to Milan encountered no difficulties along the way.

Genoa currently only has two top-tier teams: Sampdoria and Sampdoria.

Genoa has been relegated.

Both teams' fans originated from Sampdoria, so almost every fan of either team would wave to the Milan team bus when they saw it.

At least their best memories are of the years Lu Deyang served.

Interestingly, Sampdoria's predecessor teams once won a runner-up title, which was in 1904 when they lost to the newly established and still immature AC Milan.

Lu Deyang knew all of this history from his time playing for Sampdoria.

As the bus arrived at Ferraris Stadium, a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd.

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

Lu Deyang waved to the sidelines, and the fans' cheers immediately grew several times stronger.

"Let's go, big star."

Maldini urged.

Lu Deyang strode into the stadium.

Saki was already waiting at the door and said, "If you don't go to the press conference, the reporters will kill me."

"Let's go."

Lu Deyang shrugged and said.

He should indeed make an appearance in front of his former employer, who has recently re-established itself.

Lu Deyang and Sacchi arrived at the press conference room together, and Ancelotti immediately nodded with a smile.

Seeing Mancini and Ancelotti sitting together, Lu Deyang found it quite interesting.

Before and after the Calciopoli scandal, the main rivalry in Serie A was between these two players.

Now it's the fledgling Ancelotti and his captain Mancini.

"Deyang!"

Mancini raised an eyebrow and greeted him.

Lu Deyang nodded and said, "Roberto, it's been a long time."

“It’s you who likes to act alone,” Mancini retorted.

The reporters didn't give Mancini and Ludwig a chance to catch up; they couldn't wait to start asking questions.

"Dejan, I heard you invested in Sampdoria and acquired shares in AC Milan. Do you own shares in two Italian clubs?"

one reporter asked.

Before the other reporters could speak, Mancini shouted, "I warn you to watch your words. Don't be sarcastic. Even if Dejan owns shares in 20 Italian clubs, there's no way he could manipulate matches. Don't look for news here."

Lu Deyang smiled and shook his head.

That's just like Mancini's personality.

Why does Lu Deyang still enjoy playing with Mancini, who has so many flaws?

Because this guy is really loyal.

And they dare to speak out if they can't stand something.

Lu Deyang pulled over the microphone and said, "Neither team's shares are in my possession, so you can talk to the team's shareholders about this. AC Milan has British heritage; it was founded by the British, as you all know, right? So there's nothing wrong with the princess having shares in Milan, is there?"

Although Lu Deyang did not say it.

But the journalists already knew that the shares of Sampier d'Arenes were probably in Monica's hands.

There were indeed no violations.

After Mancini's outburst, the situation at the scene improved considerably.

Only then did the reporters begin asking questions.

"Dejan, which team do you think is your former club, Sampdoria or Sanpieda Renése?"

"How does it feel to face your old teammates today, Dejan?"

"Roberto, what is the relationship between you and Dejan?"

"Mr. Ancelotti, you were a player under Arrigo back then. Can you tell me about your acquaintance with Arrigo?"

"Arigo, what kind of person do you think Carlo is?"

The reporters had many questions.

The main issue is that there's just too much buzz surrounding this today.

Lu Deyang and Mancini used to appear together on the front page of Italian newspapers.

As for Ancelotti and Sacchi, the two were once teacher and student, and Ancelotti greatly admired Sacchi.

Ancelotti was the first to grab the microphone and say, "I played for Mr. Sacchi's team and also served as the national team's assistant coach for a period of time. It can be said that Mr. Sacchi's philosophy has had the greatest influence on me. I believe his philosophy is the best, but I haven't been able to get close to Mr. Sacchi's level yet."

Ancelotti spoke from the heart.

While under Sacchi, tactical discipline was very strict.

However, the season's tactics actually gave him space to make runs into the box, allowing Ancelotti to transform from a dedicated defensive midfielder into a box-to-box midfielder. Coupled with Rijkaard, who plays as a defender for the Dutch national team, moving forward, the combination of the two became very attacking.

The move to shift the core of the organization to the back and the strategy of not using number 10 are both influenced by Sacchi to Ancelotti.

He later rejected Baggio for the same reason. At that time, Ancelotti was not very flexible and did not like to use number 10 players. However, at this point, it seems that Ancelotti has already changed, and changed quite a bit.

Sacchi said politely, "I've always thought Carlo is very talented. He's a thoughtful person, and such people are likely to succeed in the coaching field. Perhaps Carlo hasn't achieved much yet, but I think he will definitely become a well-known coach, and it won't be long before he does."

The reporters were left feeling helpless by the polite exchanges between the two coaches.

A reporter asked, "Carlo, what's your opinion of Capello?"

In his autobiography, "I Love Trophies," Ancelotti called Capello a tyrant, criticizing his overly harsh management style and lack of communication skills. Capello responded by saying that Ancelotti only pandered to players and the media, and emphasized the difference in roles between coaches and players.

Everyone in Italy knows about this.

"I understand you want news."

Ancelotti sighed and said, "I still hold the same opinion about Fabio. Sometimes simple communication can satisfy the players, but he prefers to make decisions on his own and thinks it's for the players' own good, and that the players must understand him. Even if I were the coach, I wouldn't be able to accept his attitude."

"Mr. Sacchi, what's your opinion of Capello?"

The reporter continued to ask.

Saki couldn't help but frown.

This attempt to sow discord is far too obvious.

Sacchi and Ancelotti worked well together, and he also worked well with Capello.

However, after Ancelotti said these words, Sacchi had no choice but to either offend Ancelotti or Capello, no matter how he answered.

This annoyed Sacchi somewhat.

Normal people don't like being forced, let alone Saki, who has a strong sense of self-esteem.

Sacchi snorted and said, "My relationship with anyone is none of your business, and I have no right to judge others. I have worked with Carlo and Fabio, and I have high hopes for both of them. Perhaps you think I'm just pretending to be a good guy, but in ten or twenty years, you will be amazed by the achievements of these two coaches who came from AC Milan!"

What the hell!

So cool.

Sacchi's statement is very accurate.

I don't know if he was trying to avoid offending anyone or if he genuinely recognized how outstanding the two people were.

Sometimes, being a good player does not equate to being a good coach.

It's still the same story of Mann's connection. Ferguson misjudged his disciples several times, but he was surprisingly skeptical of Queiroz, which proved to be a very accurate assessment.

The Portuguese coach was ousted from Real Madrid and returned to Manchester United as an assistant coach.

If Saki's judgment was his own, then his insight was truly remarkable.

Capello is already a renowned coach, but Ancelotti's achievements will surpass that. Finding no newsworthy stories in the coaches, reporters turned their attention to the players.

"Dejan, tell us about your relationship with your former teammates."

A reporter said.

Lu Deyang said with a smile, "I keep in touch with many people. You guys often give me high rankings in newspapers and magazines, so my former teammates think so too. They think I'm a very charismatic person, which has led to me having many godchildren, such as Roberto Mancini's son Filippo. As the child's godfather, how could I not be in touch with Roberto?"

Mancini immediately added, "We often discuss whether to go on vacation together, and Dejan gives us and the children gifts during holidays. Sometimes he also gives me some investment advice."

Did Dejan's advice make you money?

The reporter asked curiously.

Investing in players usually results in losses.

"Of course, how could I be laughing if I were losing money?"

Mancini shared excitedly, "We live in a high-tech era now, so buying high-tech stocks is the way to go. I've made a lot of money."

"Is there also your income as a spokesperson for Monica Burger?"

The reporter reminded.

Mancini's expression changed immediately, and after a few seconds he said, "Although I am very reluctant to say this, the income is really not low. More importantly, now the children all think I am the uncle who sells hamburgers."

Sacchi and Ancelotti couldn't help but laugh.

It's rare to see a side business in football with such a huge impact. Even Lu Deyang, the owner of Monica Burger, isn't as famous as Roberto Mancini, especially among young children.

Even if their parents tell them that Mancini played football, this group will still only remember that Mancini sold hamburgers.

Lu Deyang was considering whether to invest in an animated film called "Uncle Mancini".

The practice of using animated films to sell products has been around for a while now.

Transformers is a good example.

The same applies to later series like Digimon and Let's & Go!!.

These are animated films made specifically for product development, unlike regular animated films which release merchandise after becoming popular.

The Japanese have a well-established system for this.

It's basically about passion, friendship, and romance.

The anime "Let's & Go!!" features a group of elementary school students who have crushes on different characters.

If you have time, ask Kumagai to help you find out if anyone can write a script directly.

The more I think about it, the better it seems.

Monica Burger has already become a hit in Europe and South America, but it's not doing so well in North America, mainly because of strong regional protectionism there.

But we have our own national circumstances.

A popular singer performs a few times in a bar on Long Island and then claims to have held a concert in the United States.

Monica Burger has more than 10 locations in the United States, all near Texas, so it's fair to say it's incredibly popular across the country.

It's quite popular in Europe and South America. When the animated version comes out, we'll promote it domestically as well.

First-tier cities are directly operated, second-tier major cities are directly operated, and the rest are recruited agents with unified standard training, which can be used to quickly cover all stores.

With its foreign heritage and animated content, it should quickly capture the elementary school student demographic.

Just as Lu Deyang was still thinking, Sacchi nudged him and whispered, "The reporter asked you what you think of Materazzi."

Lu Deyang then looked down at the audience and said, "Marco is a very passionate player, which is not a bad thing. On the football field, passionate people will fight to the end and even inspire their teammates. I believe everyone would like to be teammates with someone like Marco Materazzi."

"Deyang, you haven't mentioned your former employer yet."

The reporter reminded them again.

Lu Deyang glanced at the time and said, "This is the last question; there really isn't any time left. Sampdoria was formed by the merger of Sampdoria and Andrea Doria. To be honest, I really like the navy blue, but everyone should know that Sampdoria rose to prominence under Mr. Paolo Mantovani. Whether it was me, Roberto, or Vialli in England, we were all signed by Mr. Paolo Mantovani. During his coma, his son inherited the team, and Mr. Paolo Mantovani didn't approve of his son's management style, so he rebuilt Sampdoria. Therefore, I feel that Sampdoria is my original club. Perhaps for some people, Sampdoria is the team they have supported for a long time, but for me, I only played for Mr. Paolo Mantovani."

"Yes, that's right, that's what I think too."

Mancini nodded and said, "Sampier d'Arenece is the true successor of Genoa, WE ARE FAMILY!"

Lu Deyang: ...

Lu Deyang got up and left with Saki.

Mancini was still winking at him.

This guy really knows how to show off.

It might be better to combine it with Baggio's personality.

On the way back, Sacchi slowed down and said, "Everyone is curious about how things are between Fabio and me."

"Actually, you don't need to say it, Coach."

Lu Deyang said.

He wasn't really interested.

Sacchi continued, "I have high hopes for both Fabio and Carlo; they both reflect aspects of me. However, I feel that Fabio focuses too much on discipline and hasn't found his role. He was my assistant coach before, an extension of my will. I won championships, and I led Parma to a double victory over AC Milan, which convinced Berlusconi to invite me to join the team. But Fabio didn't. He was just an assistant coach. He has great talent and led his team to championships, but he was wrong."

Lu Deyang understood what Saki meant.

It's like Mourinho coming to Chelsea and telling the players he's the champion and they're nothing.

Sacchi only gained the confidence to coach Milan after defeating them twice.

His coaching career at AC Milan wasn't initially characterized by extreme strictness; it was only through his achievements that his demands continued to rise.

However, Capello has no experience in achieving results as a coach, and his demands are stricter than Sacchi's from the start, which is problematic in itself.

Milan's players are all superstars, who the hell are you?

It's no wonder Capello is unpopular, given his inability to win over the public and his insistence on even stricter demands.

He and Ancelotti are like two sides of the same coin as Sacchi, both being more extreme than Sacchi.

Ancelotti inherited the tactical philosophy, adhering to the 4-4-2 formation and refusing to use the number 10 position.

Capello inherited the tactical discipline and locker room management.

In hindsight, Anpang eventually adapted, going from not using number 10 to using four numbers 10, which was a significant improvement.

On the other hand, Capello has a good coaching record, but his management style makes him unpopular with the players.

The two returned to the locker room together, where the players were ready.

Lu Deyang sat down and changed his clothes.

Baresi, holding the armband, sat down next to Lu Deyang and said, "How was it being the team captain today?"

"It doesn't have to be like this."

Lu Deyang said with a smile, "I don't need anything to prove myself."

Maldini gave a thumbs-up from the side.

mad!
Moreover, he refused Baresi's offer.

Maldini kept his eyes on Baresi and only breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the old captain wasn't angry.

However, Lu Deyang is indeed qualified to say such things.

After he got home, he watched Lu Deyang's video of Inter Milan no less than ten times.

That was a fantastic kick.

Maldini was even somewhat jealous of Lu Deyang's talent.

He can dribble past opponents and doesn't want to always be making tackles to defend. Everyone dreams of being a striker when they're young.

Moreover, after watching the video, he felt that even if the opponents were Baresi and Bergomi, or Milan's defense, the result would not be any different.

That agile and skillful movement left a very deep impression on him.

Redondo, standing on the sidelines, was already warming up with chest expansions, much more active than usual during matches.

The first stop on my European journey is not so easy to forget.

Lu Deyang then chose to participate in the lottery.

[Your good friend Roberto Mancini has a very strong competitive spirit, both as a player and as a coach after retirement. It's hard to imagine that the elegant and easy-going Mancini in his trench coat could be so volatile. Therefore, we've selected a player who isn't particularly competitive but still possesses considerable ability. Ding! You've obtained a single-match trial card for Ruud Gullit in the 10th round of the 1993-1994 Serie A season, Sampdoria vs. AC Milan.]

What the hell!

I never expected it to be the two Dutch swordsmen.

This player is a central axis of his own, playing from striker to sweeper.

Rijkaard, one of the three musketeers, was more of a playmaker. Although he was very capable individually, coaches preferred to have him control and distribute the ball from the back.

Gullit is the offensive core; he has impact, speed, power, and good creativity.

Although the player drawn was Ruud Gullit from the Sampdoria era.

Judging from his performance at Chelsea, he still has a lot of potential.

Van Basten will probably feel a sense of familiarity today, as the two Dutch swordsmen reunite.

After changing his clothes, Lu Deyang got up.

Baresi immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let them know who's the boss in the North!"

Sampdoria is on a roll, upgrading every year. They are currently in the middle of the table, but still have a chance to break into the top few.

The media inevitably linked them with the Sampdoria team from back then, as there was even a lot of overlap in the players between the two teams.

This made Baresi very unhappy.

Back then, Sampdoria dominated the three northern powerhouses, with Inter Milan and Juventus being the biggest victims, and AC Milan wasn't much stronger either.

They lose at least twice a season, they're just lucky they didn't meet in the Italian Cup.

So many years have passed, and Baresi is naturally holding a grudge.

He stormed out of the locker room.

As soon as I stepped out of the locker room, I saw the home locker room door open.

Lu Deyang stopped and greeted his old teammates.

Parry said excitedly, "I was so worried when I saw you were injured. I knew you wouldn't die so easily."

Lu Deyang laughed and punched Parry, saying, "I'm younger than you, so isn't it normal for me to live longer than you?"

Dossena smiled and nodded.

He retired in the summer and is now Ancelotti's assistant coach.

It was great to see Lu Deyang and the others again; it reminded him of the old days.

That was the most glorious period of his career.

"Your name is Michael, right?"

Lu Deyang looked at Barak and asked.

Barak paused for a moment and nodded, not expecting Lu Deyang to greet him first.

Lu Deyang patted Ballack on the shoulder and said, "Play well, East German players have it tough."

Barak nodded vigorously.

Mancini watched for a while, then sneered and said, "Other teams try to bribe our players, and even if you flatter us, we won't go easy on them. Today, I want to tell the world that there is only one Roberto in Italy!"

Baggio, who was waiting nearby, immediately turned pale. If he had two bullets, he would have shot Mancini in the head once and shot him in the groin once...
