If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 277 Goalkeeper Killer Lu Qiuwang (Please Subscribe)

"What's with that guy's arrogance?"

Totti watched Mancini's retreating figure and grumbled.

Even before he was an adult, he often argued with Mancini because the young prince felt that Mancini's skills were average and he was too high-profile, acting like some kind of world-class football king.

"Roberto is still capable."

Baggio said.

"You sound like you're talking about yourself," Lu Deyang joked.

That's why foreigners have so many nicknames.

The main problem is that there are too many duplicate names, and the names are also inconvenient to pronounce due to their large number of syllables.

There are also those like Kaka's younger brother who can't pronounce words accurately.

Baggio smiled and shook his head.

As the group exited the tunnel, the Ferraris Stadium erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.

The DJ at the scene shouted, "The Emperor of Genoa is back, along with our Fernando and Pietro!!!"

They will not forget Wiljoward.

However, some children were still calling him Uncle Mancini.

Baggio could hear it clearly.

Totti, who overheard the conversation, complained, "It's really frustrating that my brother's kids all like Mancini."

Totti's brother, Ricardo, almost facilitated his transfer to Real Madrid.

Ricardo's son frequently appears in "Totti's Jokes," a book in which Totti himself wrote jokes about Cassano cheating on him. Considering Blasi's history of infidelity, Totti's words may have come true.

The main point is self-deprecation about being uncultured, such as asking who wrote Shakespeare, or why Tomasi doesn't just buy a finished novel from a bookstore when he writes one.

The Little Prince maintained a pretty good attitude later on.

Baggio also frowned and looked at Lu Deyang.

Because his child had said something similar.

The child even told him that his father and Uncle Mancini had the same name.

Although Baggio is a very easygoing person, he still felt uncomfortable hearing such comments, as if he were imitating Mancini.

I never imagined Monica Burger would have such a huge impact.

He just remembered that every now and then the store would have a new promotion, and he would have to take the kids there for burgers.

The old trading cards were quite beautiful; his wife collected them all in a photo album.

Then there are Olympic hero cards, Pokémon cards, all kinds of cards and toys. Baggio gets a headache just hearing that toys are packaged in opaque bags.

God knows how many packages their family bought before the previous promotion ended, because their child was missing a toy.

Occasionally, Baggio would secretly wonder if Lu Deyang's purchase of a large house in Milan was partly due to Baggio's contribution.

Mancini was still very active when he started warming up.

Totti complained, "If it weren't for Dejan, he wouldn't be so famous. First, he says he and Baggio are both Roberto, then he says he, Dejan, and Fernando are the Three Musketeers. It's like he's involved in every organization."

"And he's also the spokesperson for Dejan Burgers."

Redondo added with a smile from the side.

"Tch, that's exactly why Mancini is so famous among young fans. If you were to go, you'd be a hundred times more suitable than him," Totti said, looking at Baggio.

"Forget it, Roberto isn't suitable."

Lu Deyang said directly.

Baggio, who hadn't spoken, frowned.

It is this feeling.

He was rejected before he could even give a response.

Just like when his son asked him about sharing the same name as Mancini, it gave him a very bad feeling.

He valued his family very much; these dreadlocks were casually braided by his children, and he kept them until the very end.

Even though he is a person who rarely cares, he doesn't want to lose face in front of his children.

Baggio retorted somewhat indignantly, "How am I unsuitable? I should be more famous than Mancini among the fans."

“The vibe isn’t quite right,” Lu Deyang said with a smile. “The name ‘Melancholy Prince’ doesn’t suit our restaurant. We’re a family-friendly place where children are happy and parents can enjoy their meals. Nobody’s going to discuss philosophy with you or talk about your melancholy eyes.”

Redondo glanced at Lu Deyang, feeling something was off.

Lu Deyang had just said some time ago that he hoped Baggio could also be a spokesperson, so that the two Robertos could continue their love-hate relationship.

It is important that Baggio is very famous in Ludjohnsen's home country.

That's why he was puzzled as to why Lu Deyang rejected Baggio.

Baggio stated directly, "Although I'm not an actor, I do have a sunny and cheerful side. Just don't make me sit next to Mancini wearing a Colonel Sanders outfit."

Lu Deyang: ...

Damn it, I've been seen through.

This is normal; since he's cosplaying McDonald's, it's not surprising that he'd think of KFC.

Lu Deyang lowered his head and juggled the ball, concealing his surprise as he calmly said, "How could I possibly do that? But you're still not quite right for it; it might backfire."

“I don’t want money!” Baggio said directly.

"make a deal!"

Lu Deyang immediately pointed at Baggio and said, "No backing out. I won't take advantage of you. Once we see good results, you'll get the same treatment as Roberto Mancini."

Let Baggio come to us himself; we can even try it out first.

Lu Deyang was somewhat impressed with himself.

If you don't want to be Colonel Sanders, then change your image, it's no big deal.

Lu Qiu Wang is the most democratic person.

Whether you end up grinning like an idiot while holding a hamburger or yelling "It's so delicious!" at the camera is out of your hands.

……

The TIFO show in the stands was outstanding.

Milan fans want to prove that Lu Deyang now belongs to Milan.

However, the home fans displayed Lu Deyang's championship titles and achievements, which were mostly from his previous stint at Sampdoria.

He's only been with Milan for less than half a season, and even if Lu Deyang and Milan have a perfect record, they won't win many championships.

Rosenelli couldn't refute this either.

Even AC Milan was part of Lu Deyang's previous achievements.

The home team at Ferraris Stadium dominated the away team, much to the delight of the Sampdoria fans.

Paolo Mantovani, sitting in the stands, showed no expression.

After all, football is all about playing, and he knew that Lu Deyang was a tough opponent to beat.

Sigh, back then, he happened to run into Rossi at the restaurant who wanted to sign Lu Deyang, and he snatched Rossi's target away. Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, Lu Deyang still went to AC Milan.

The key point is that no one can say Lu Deyang was wrong about this.

Paolo Mantovani felt heartbroken whenever he thought of his son, Enrique.

The key is that his son is doing quite well in managing the company's development, so now all he can do is cause his son some trouble on the basketball court.

"Today's match was almost a carbon copy of Sampdoria's match against AC Milan, except Sampdoria lost several key players."

"Both sides are very familiar with each other, so there's no need for much introduction. Sampdoria has been upgraded every year since its inception, and their performance has been truly surprising. Some people expect them to create miracles, but I would say that they might have had a chance if Dejan hadn't started."

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups for both sides."

Sampdoria da Renése 4-4-2 double defensive midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Barrota

Defenders: Pacheco, Materazzi, Lucio, Thomas Hecht

Midfielders: Parry, Ballack, Mancini, Soldo

Forwards: Bierhoff, Toni.

AC Milan's 4-4-2 formation with two defensive midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Buffon
Defenders: Maldini, Baresi, Wiljoward, Panucci

Midfielders: Ludjohnsen, Redondo, Albertini, Baggio
Forwards: Van Basten, Totti.

"Looking at the lineups, both sides used their full starting lineups. There are seven former Sampdoria players on the field today. Interestingly, AC Milan has four, which is more than Sampdoria's Sampdoria team. Verjoward, Redondo, and Dejan are all starters, but Buffon is easily overlooked. He joined Sampdoria's youth team the season before Dejan was injured."

"So from this perspective, AC Milan actually inherited the most and most valuable part of Sampdoria's legacy."

Even Sampdoria fans couldn't refute Kruedelli's words.

Both in terms of quantity and quality, AC Milan has a better pool of former Sampdoria players.

Both teams' players have already followed the referee team out of the tunnel, and Collina is officiating again today.

The players from both teams were mostly smiling when they shook hands.

Even if they weren't former teammates, they were basically national team teammates; Italy is such a small place.

Wearing the captain's armband, Mancini walked up to Lu Deyang with feigned seriousness, shook his hand, and quickly said, "I'm going to win today."

"I also want Audrey Hepburn, but can you just have her whenever you want?"

Lu Deyang complained.

Mancini immediately lost his composure and was about to make a harsh statement when Parry pushed him.

Parry stepped forward and said, "Ignore that idiot. We won't go too far today."

"If you have the ability, don't say things like that."

Lu Deyang said directly.

What left Lu Deyang speechless was that these former clubs were really good players. Parri was a member of the Italian national team in the 82 World Cup and is still a key player in Serie A, just like Verjoward.

If Dosena hadn't retired, Lu Deyang would have thought they could have continued playing.

Of that generation, Sampdoria players have persisted the longest, and currently only he, Verjoward, and Baresi remain.

Baresi Jr. had a more illustrious national team career than his brother, and won more championships throughout his professional career.

He was also a role model for players in Milan.

His lifelong problems revolve around his wife and son.

It's no wonder some fans couldn't accept it and got into a brawl with others.

Baresi can be said to be the idol of Rossoneri for those born in the 50s and 60s; his entire life was truly spotless.

Lu Deyang also felt it was a pity.

You can feel it in the locker room. Nobody believes what Baresi says, but everyone sympathizes with him and respects him.

Ma Paul was also good, but after that, Milan's local players were much worse.

Qian Duoduo was originally capable enough to take over as captain, but unfortunately, her personality was not a good match.

Lu Deyang turned to look at Buffon. Milan would have to wait more than 20 years to worry about their captain again.

The two team captains went up to guess the coin, and Lu Deyang was already making his final preparations.

Toni and Bierhoff standing there are very intimidating; they look like formidable strikers.

Van Basten remarked, "Their players are really tall."

"You're not short either."

Lu Deyang said.

Milan's average height is acceptable.

However, the defense was somewhat lacking.

Baresi and Wirjoward are both under 1.8 meters tall, and such a central defensive pairing will be very rare in the future. Baresi walked back with a smile and said, "We'll kick off later and teach them a lesson."

Lu Deyang gave a thumbs up.

Mancini is really bad at guessing coins.

At 1:30 p.m., referee Collina blew the whistle to start the match.

Toni quickly passed the ball across to Bierhoff, who then passed it to Mancini.

Mancini was luring Totti away by deliberately letting the ball leave his feet. As Totti rushed forward, Mancini immediately turned and passed the ball to Parri.

Back in Sampdoria, he and Dossena often played as defensive midfielders while also playing as wingers, because both of them had good attacking and defensive abilities.

Ancelotti's 4-4-2 diamond midfield formation vaguely resembles a four-attacking-midfielder formation.

None of these four players are purely defensive; they are also excellent at organizing and passing the ball.

Mancini simply stood in his favorite spot.

Ballack is not simply a defensive midfielder, but rather plays a role similar to that of Ancelotti when he was with Sacchi.

All I can say is that this tactic is very Sacchi.

Lu Deyang did not rush to seize the opportunity.

Sampier-Darrenese's two-striker formation means they will likely play more on the wings.

They can create opportunities by penetrating through the middle, but it's difficult for two tall players who aren't particularly skilled to play with their backs to goal and pass the ball into the penalty area in front of Baresi and Verjoward.

For the first three minutes, Sampdoria da Renése controlled the ball.

Milan did not press forward aggressively.

Such a cautious attitude already shows that they take their opponent quite seriously.

Ballack received the ball in the backfield, and the little prince rushed up to him.

But Ballack, who looked a bit stunned, didn't hold onto the ball and immediately passed it across to Thomas Hech, a German-Italian player who had just transferred from Reggina in the summer.

Barak and he played together quite a lot.

Hechi accelerates immediately with a push forward with his left foot, and his outside-of-the-foot flick is quite distinctive.

The opponent's posture was somewhat similar to Robben's.

Lu Deyang was not careless either, and stood in front of the center line ready.

However, Hechi immediately passed the ball across the field as soon as he dribbled up, without going one-on-one with Lu Deyang at all.

Lu Deyang had no way to force Parry to come back, otherwise Parry would definitely pass the ball back.

Seeing this, Redondo rushed forward quickly, and Milan's backline was full of players, forming a complete encirclement.

Parry was knocked off balance by Albertini, but still managed to pass the ball to Ballack.

The somewhat inexperienced German midfielder suddenly revealed his fangs. He received the ball and suddenly accelerated, taking advantage of Redondo stretching out his leg to rush past him, dribbling diagonally to Redondo's front and then cutting the ball with his right foot.

Baresi was ready, staring at Barak's right foot.

We're just waiting for him to adjust and handle the ball.

Unexpectedly, after Baresi dribbled the ball with his right foot, he immediately followed up with a left-footed shot.

He unleashed a high-quality shot with his non-dominant foot, and even though Buffon, standing on the right side of the goal, quickly scrambled to his feet, he still couldn't stop the low shot aimed at the far corner.

boom--

The home fans in the stands erupted in cheers.

Some players from both sides were also surprised.

This is the case all over the world. Unexpectedly, the newly formed Sampdoria and Renésé were able to score the first goal, and it was Ballack who scored.

Despite Germany's strength, the Italians don't take Germany seriously.

So far, they have never lost to Germany in regular time in official matches. In the 1970 World Cup, Beckenbauer was injured, and Germany lost to Italy.

Ballack's performance has indeed overturned their perception of the new generation of German players.

I used to think that the "Three Musketeers" would be Germany's last glory, since the German players brought in to Serie A before had generally performed poorly.

It seems that young people in Germany are quite capable.

"We don't need to worry about it being a one-sided game," Krudelli said with a smile. "But I still firmly believe that AC Milan will win."

The little prince returned to midfield with his hands on his hips.

His pressing at the start of the game took a toll on him, and the opponent's early goal only fueled his frustration.

Lu Deyang patted Totti on the shoulder and advised, "There will always be a chance. We can't always score first. It's normal for the opponent to score first occasionally."

"I just can't stand how excited that guy is."

Totti said with a sneer.

Lu Deyang knew without looking that the Little Prince was referring to Mancini.

The feud between the two lasted for many years, back when Totti, still a minor, looked down on Mancini.

His attitude towards Giannini and Baggio wasn't that great either; he wasn't as humble as a young person would be towards their idols. This might be the source of his confidence as a genius.

"Don't worry, they won't win today."

Lu Deyang reiterated his assurance.

"Yes, just wait and see."

Baggio nodded and said.

Baggio didn't want to lose the match against his son's uncle, Mancini.

Damn, he can't even beat a hamburger vendor. He might as well retire and go back to farming. He was planning to buy a farm and drive a tractor across the fields.

After the restart, Totti decisively passed the ball to Lu Deyang.

Seeing the little prince's expectant expression, Lu Deyang simply nudged the ball forward and started the race.

Soldo was startled and quickly came to greet him.

Lu Deyang didn't play any tricks on him. He flicked the ball forward hard with his left foot again, and the ball ended up behind Soldo.

Then he accelerated again, using his body and speed to try and take control of the flank against Soldo.

"A beautiful dribble past the defender. When Dejan doesn't choose to use skill, that's when no one can steal the ball from him," Krudelli exclaimed excitedly.

He always believed that Lu Deyang's physique was the most terrifying, and that high-speed change of direction was something no player could imitate.

Ballack, who just scored, quickly moved to cover on the left flank.

Lu Deyang paused mid-run, took a step out with his right foot and lowered his shoulder. Barak immediately shifted his feet, fearing that Lu Deyang would cut inside prematurely.

But the next second, he realized he had been tricked.

The German genius chased back somewhat angrily, but he also knew very well that once he lost his position, he would never be able to catch up with Lu Deyang.

The distance between the two people is still widening.

Materazzi gestured to his teammates to press forward.

Lu Deyang feinted with his left foot, pretending to cut inside. Materazzi and Pacheco adjusted their positions, but Lu Deyang flicked the ball forward with his right foot, sending it towards the byline.

He dribbled past his opponent three times in a row, twice deceiving him into losing his balance.

The away fans cheered.

Lu Deyang, who had made a run down the wing, turned and delivered a cross, but unfortunately, Van Basten couldn't win the header against Lu Deyang. The ball was headed out of the penalty area by the Brazilian defender, and Mancini, fearing that Milan would get the ball, kicked it out of bounds.

Almost.

Lu Deyang headed towards the middle lane looking for an opportunity.

There are many players with flashy playing styles in Serie A now, but Lu Deyang is increasingly finding that simple dribbling can sometimes be very effective.

The move I just used to shake Ballack was inspired by De Jong. I suddenly remembered that Brazilian genius, and after trying it out, the effect was quite noticeable.

When you draw a card with enough "Explosive Power," baiting out your opponent's balance before starting is clearly safer than using technical moves to get past them.

After all, once the key point is revealed, the other party will have no way to defend against it later.

Materazzi immediately stood by Lu Deyang's side.

"Marco, you played well today."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Materazzi grinned.

He was very happy to receive Lu Deyang's approval.

His purpose in leaving the restricted area was to keep an eye on Lu Deyang.

Panucci kept turning around in the attacking third but still couldn't find a good passing option, so he could only turn around and throw the ball to Wilchoward.

At this moment, Lu Deyang reached out his hand directly, and Wiljoward understood and responded accordingly.

He looked to his left but passed the ball to the right wing.

He dared to do this because Lu Deyang drew the defense, leaving a large opening on the right flank.

Otherwise, his passing accuracy would easily lead to long-distance ground balls being passed to the opponent.

Totti received the ball on the right wing, catching Sampdoria and René off guard.

The Sanpiedardene players quickly moved to the right flank.

At that moment, Totti suddenly backheeled the ball, precisely finding Baggio who was making a forward run.

Baggio's footwork was excellent, instantly drawing a lot of defensive attention.

Lu Deyang turned and ran back, smiling at Materazzi.

This kid is still a bit green.

Sure enough, as Baggio charged forward with the ball, Ballack and Lucio pressed him down together.

Baggio, while running, suddenly made a diagonal pass backward, sending the ball from the right side of the penalty area to the center.

Just as Materazzi noticed Lu Deyang running away and was about to warn his teammates, Lu Deyang had already swung his right foot.

No arm swing, no ball stop, just direct power.

boom--

Even the fans on the upper level of the stands could hear it clearly.

What appeared to be a casual kick turned out to be earth-shattering.

Sampierda Renesse's defensive line kept shifting its focus, creating gaps in the central defense. When the ball flew out, the opposing defenders left a large open space in the middle.

The ball's speed gave them no chance to react; almost in the blink of an eye, it flew into the penalty area. Barrotta, standing on the left side of the goal, lunged to make a save, but failed to judge the ball's trajectory.

Duang——

The ball struck the bottom edge of the post hard, but due to the force, it flew into the goal, grazed the left side of the net, and bounced off the ground.

stunned!

It's over 40 meters away.

Barrota, lying on the ground, knew very well that he had completely guessed the ball.

It was moving too fast, giving him absolutely no time to react.

His ability to make a save already puts him among the best in terms of reaction speed among goalkeepers.

At this point, the goalkeeper began to feel a sense of dread.

Even though the sound was so loud inside the penalty area, he even wondered if the ball had been kicked and broken.

If that kick had hit him on the head, he would probably have been taken to the hospital by ambulance today.

A cool breeze blew by, and the sweat on my back turned icy cold.

The goalkeeper then realized something terrifying: Lu Deyang hadn't adjusted or taken a run-up; he had simply unleashed such a powerful shot from a stationary position. If it had been a free kick, it would probably have been even faster. No wonder goalkeepers were reluctant to face Lu Deyang…
