If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 280 The Spokesperson Who Has Been Practicing for Two and a Half Years (Please Subscribe)
When Lu Deyang got home, he saw Monica lying there with no sleeping posture at all, her upper body almost falling off the bed.

He tiptoed over and picked up Monica, who then opened her eyes.

"Why are you so tired?"

Lu Deyang asked.

"She's not your princess yet."

Monica muttered a complaint.

Goodness, even Diane isn't calling him anymore.

"what happened?"

Lu Deyang sat on the edge of the bed and asked.

Monika said, holding onto Lu Deyang's arm, "She pulled me to ride a horse yesterday. I was busy all morning today and didn't get on the plane until noon. My whole body aches."

"Then I'll rub it for you."

Lu Deyang found it amusing that even older sisters could act cute.

What were you laughing about when you went upstairs?

Monica looked up and asked.

Lu Deyang shrugged and said, "Roberto Baggio insisted on being our spokesperson, and he didn't even want a spokesperson fee."

"really?"

Monica stood up excitedly and threw herself into Lu Deyang's arms, saying, "You're amazing!"

Lu Deyang smiled and nodded.

The King of Land Ball is truly amazing.

No one else could have persuaded Baggio so easily.

Mancini did do something good.

"Should we have Baggio do an ad?" Monica asked excitedly.

Lu Deyang nodded vigorously.

Since we finally have this opportunity, we certainly can't let Baggio slip away.

He is well-known in Italy, and also in his home country.

Wouldn't it be a waste to leave it unused?
Lu Deyang isn't afraid of having no ideas; rather, he has too many ideas in his head.

They wished they could have Baggio filmed 180 minutes of commercials on TV, from a leopard chasing him for a hamburger to an old lady pole vaulting to deliver a hamburger to him. There were many interesting commercials during that time.

Borrowing from others will not only avoid copyright disputes, but will also make Chinese people feel that it is important.

Coca-Cola cleverly used a Chinese advertising jingle.

This era is developing rapidly, but the ideas in "Yilin" magazine are still mainstream, and China is eager for international recognition.

If Baggio were to speak a few words of Chinese, Monica Burger would have no trouble gaining popularity.

The only pity is that he is a Buddhist; it would have been better if he were a Taoist.

I'll ask the little prince later if he wants to switch to worshiping the Three Pure Ones.

The couple kept discussing it, wishing they could have Baggio retire and become a dedicated hamburger ambassador.

Monica never expected that the Chinese would like Baggio so much.

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

Just as the two were getting ready to have a baby, Baggio called.

"Roberto? Great, great. Come over tomorrow to sign the contract, and we'll immediately arrange for a top international designer to create your look. We definitely won't need Colonel Sanders. Advertisements will also be on the agenda, and Mancini should be shooting them too. Don't let him outshine you."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Monica smiled and looked at Lu Deyang.

Lu Deyang winked at him.

Baggio is too unambitious; sometimes you have to give him a little push.

Shooting commercials was unfamiliar territory for both him and Mancini, but Baggio would absolutely not allow himself to lose to Mancini.

Needless to say, Mancini has been working hard for years to prove he's no worse than Baggio, and he'll definitely give it his all in a new field.

Lu Deyang felt like a genius, easily making the two Robertos the hardest working employees.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Deyang finally celebrated with Monica.

The game ended so early today, so of course we should do something meaningful.

……

A corner of Milan.

Six-year-old Valentina is watching cartoons while holding her younger brother Mattia.

Andrea is busy in the kitchen.

The match was at 1:30 PM, and I got home around 5:00 PM.

Roberto Baggio played with the children for a while.

He and his wife were high school classmates. Andrena is a year older than him. They are childhood sweethearts. Over the years, Baggio has never had any scandals.

Andrena, who was stewing beef brisket, came out of the kitchen and saw Baggio staring blankly.

She waved her hand in front of Baggio and called out, "Roberto, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Baggio snapped out of his reverie, stood up, walked to the door, picked up his trench coat, put it on, and said, "I'm going to the bookstore. I'll be back soon."

"Dad, I want ice cream, and lots of pistachios!"

Valentina raised her hand and spoke.

Baggio, of course, wouldn't refuse his daughter, and gave her an OK sign with his hand.

Andrea wasn't angry that the child wanted ice cream even though they were about to eat.

She was more worried about Roberto Baggio.

For her, love is more important than unexpected romantic encounters.

Upon hearing the car start, Andreina couldn't help but show a worried expression.

The last time Baggio remained silent like this was when he transferred from Fiorentina to Juventus, a period during which he faced considerable pressure.

She didn't really care whether Baggio could continue playing.

After all, they already have enough money.

As for women, Andreina had no worries at all; Baggio wasn't that kind of person.

Baggio wasn't home, so while she was busy in the kitchen, she kept an eye on her daughter and son in the living room.

It took Baggio about half an hour to get home.

He was holding several books in his hand.

Andrea breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You scared me. You really did go to buy books." Baggio kissed her on the cheek and apologized, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Hurry up and go out, dinner is almost ready."

Andrena smiled and waved her hand to shoo them away.

The atmosphere was very nice during dinner.

The couple chatted, occasionally answering questions about their daughter.

My son often gets food all over himself while eating in his high chair, but that's the kind of life Baggio loves.

Baggio turned to Tina and asked, "We won't be eating hamburgers for a while, right, Tina?"

"no!"

Valentina said somewhat angrily, "The new year is almost here, and there will be a new series for the new year that everyone will collect!"

Baggio: ...

Damn you.

He finally understood why Lu Deyang was so rich.

You own a burger shop and you still need to renew your season pass every year, huh?

“Valentina, you should talk to your father properly,” Andreina said, glaring at her.

Baggio quickly advised, "Don't get angry with the child. Tina is just a little impatient, which is a good thing. She can't be like me, can she?"

Andrena glared at her husband.

She always felt that Valentina had stolen a part of Baggio from her.

After dinner, Baggio started playing with the children again, while Andreina began clearing the table.

After the children went upstairs to sleep, Baggio also went upstairs.

After Andrena took a shower, she noticed that Baggio hadn't returned to the room. After searching around, she found her husband sitting in the study, engrossed in reading.

Under the soft yellow light, Baggio looked handsome and captivating as he focused intently.

Andrea stared at it for a few seconds before noticing the book title—"An Actor Prepares."

……

The next morning, visitors came to Lu Deyang's house.

Fortunately, he and Monica went to bed around midnight and called their lawyer early.

Otherwise, Baggio's requirements really couldn't be met.

Andrea glared at Lu Deyang with annoyance.

"What's wrong? Have you recently discovered that I'm more handsome than Roberto?"

Lu Deyang joked.

The two families are familiar with each other, so there's no need to be too reserved.

"I just want to see what kind of person you are, this black capitalist," Andrea said irritably.

She had already figured out what had happened on her way here.

Baggio has considerable commercial value, yet he insisted on becoming Lu Deyang's free spokesperson. Even a fool would know that it must have been her husband's good friend who did something.

She didn't have much of an opinion about this.

However, Baggio's distracted appearance displeased her.

“Andrena, you seem to have some prejudice against me,” Lu Deyang said with a smile. “Roberto Mancini earns a considerable income every year because he endorses Monica Burger, and I give your husband the same treatment, so why are you still looking at me like that?”

Andrena's eyes widened even more.

Upon hearing Mancini's name, she naturally understood what was going on.

Sometimes she even suspected that Mancini might have a crush on Baggio, since that show-off would often mention her husband's name in interviews.

Baggio and Monica completed the signing with the help of their lawyers.

Lu Deyang stood up and said, "Let's go out for dinner to celebrate."

"Let's go get a burger!"

The little girl, who had been holding back for a while, said excitedly.

“Shut up, Valentina,” Andreina snapped.

The little girl immediately grabbed Lu Deyang's arm with a pitiful look on her face, and said in a tearful voice, "Uncle Deyang..."

Lu Deyang hugged the little girl and comforted her, "Don't pay attention to your mother, because your father has too good a temper and she's used to bullying everyone."

Valentina glanced at her mother's face and realized that Lu Deyang was right.

"Honey, please don't provoke her anymore."

Monica slapped Lu Deyang and quickly grabbed Andrena's arm.

Baggio was clearly pleased to see this.

He didn't want his wife to have no friends.

Even someone with his personality has a few friends.

"Uncle Deyang, when I grow up and marry you, can you give me all the new cards before I grow up?" Valentina whispered in Lu Deyang's ear.

Lu Deyang laughed heartily, rubbed her head and said, "You don't need to marry me to receive all the cards."

The little girl put her index finger to her lips, but it was too late.

After being glared at by her mother, Valentina quickly ran behind Lu Deyang's sofa, peeking out with half her face to observe him secretly.

“Let’s eat at home. Andrena and I will cook. We happen to have some ingredients at home.”

Monica suggested.

“Then I’ll call Fernando. He’s probably reading. If I don’t call him, he’ll definitely be eating at a restaurant,” Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Nobody eats out all the time.

It's not about money.

Eating at home and eating out feel completely different.

After the two women went to the kitchen, Baggio looked at his daughter, who was holding Lu Deyang's arm, and complained, "I feel like my treasure has been stolen. Luckily, Mattia is still here."

"Maybe when your son grows up."

Lu Deyang raised an eyebrow and said.

Baggio looked down at his son in his arms and couldn't help but hug him tighter.

Lu Deyang found it very interesting.

Andrena is clearly very lively, yet she can tolerate Baggio's personality.

Baggio doesn't seem to enjoy socializing much, but he seems quite happy around his friends; you can tell.

Lu Deyang prefers to associate with stable families like this.

Like Lee Sharp, just remembering his girlfriend's name and occupation is fucking exhausting.

Your teammate changes girlfriends all the time, and you're more tired than the original girlfriend when you meet her. Every time, she's a new person, and you don't know anything about her personality or family background. You also need to be careful when chatting with her.

Although Sharp doesn't care.

But Lu Deyang didn't want to be impolite.

Redondo arrived shortly after, bringing ice cream.

Valentina immediately cheered.

As Andrena came out of the kitchen, the little girl immediately hid the ice cream behind her back.

Redondo deliberately blocked Andrena's view.

Lu Deyang smiled and praised, "As expected of Fernando's defense."

Redondo smiled and picked up Valentina, sitting down next to her.

The little girl climbed back into Lu Deyang's lap with her ice cream, and cautiously asked, holding up the spoon, "Uncle Deyang, do you want some?"

"I will not eat."

Lu Deyang said.

Valentina immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Redondo, observing Baggio's expression from the side, couldn't help but say, "You'll be crying when she grows up and gets married."

"cut."

Baggio snorted, indicating his disdain.

Lu Deyang, however, felt that what Redondo said was true.

Italians like their whole family to live together, but the daughter belongs to the son-in-law's family and lives with the husband's parents.

Given Baggio's personality, he probably attends the wedding smiling, but goes home and cries secretly under the covers.

"You should find a girlfriend sooner."

Baggio said bluntly.

Redondo said nonchalantly, "Fate is a strange thing; if it doesn't come, there's nothing anyone can do."

Lu Deyang, standing to the side, suddenly remembered something.

Redondo likely played for Real Madrid and married Solari's daughter.

Now that he hasn't gone to Spain, he naturally doesn't know Solari's daughter.

Solari's daughter was very active in the art world when she was in Madrid, which is why she and Redondo have common ground.

It seems we need to think of a solution with the young female artists.

Lunch was traditional Italian food.

Andrena was really not polite at all; she made almost everything Baggio liked to eat.

Monica also catered to Redondo's tastes.

Otherwise, Redondo might have just been watching from the sidelines today.

Among the people Lu Deyang knows, there are very few who like potato products as much as Baggio. Perhaps he can find common ground in the Irish league.

"We're planning to go shopping this afternoon, you guys can kill some time on your own."

Monica said, "Let's pick up Diane first; she'll arrive in Milan at 2 PM."

"Okay, don't worry about us."

Lu Deyang said, "We'll go to the amusement park this afternoon."

Valentina immediately cheered.

Redondo and Baggio had no objections.

Andreina then said, "Roberto wants to go back to his hometown in the future, but I think the children can get a better education in Milan."

“You can let your child live with us and attend school.”

Monica said.

“Paolo Maldini was saying yesterday that he wanted to send his son here to be fostered. If this keeps up, we’ll have to open a kindergarten,” Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"Actually, the child would be better off staying at your home."

Holding a wine glass, Redondo said, "I can hardly imagine what the boy would be like next to Maldini; he's too serious."

Is Paul still serious?

Baggio asked with a smile.

“He’s mostly serious and doesn’t seem to have much of a sense of humor,” Redondo said, gesturing as he quickly controlled his hands, afraid of being assimilated into Italian culture.

Redondo certainly has reason to complain.

He also likes to joke around in private.

“Everyone’s feelings are probably different. Compared to Franco, I feel that Paulo is much better,” Baggio said in a low voice. “I’m a little scared every time I see Franco.”

Lu Deyang nodded.

He understands that feeling, much like when you saw the principal.

"Alright, let's talk about your own business," Lu Deyang said. "We've been shooting some commercials for Monica Burger recently, and they're being released in many regions, including Italy, Europe, South America, and Asia. It's practically a global campaign. You should be fine with that, Roberto."

Upon hearing this, Andreina looked at Baggio, then at Lu Deyang.

She finally understood the origin of that book.

In the afternoon, boys and girls were divided into groups, excluding children.

Lu Deyang and his group took the two children to the amusement park.

The children are too young, so they can only play on some of the less thrilling activities.

However, Baggio and Redondo are actually a good fit, and I have no objections. If it were the Little Prince, he would never ride the carousel, even if you killed him.

That kid also has some idol image to maintain.

Redondo, who also has an image to maintain, is mainly concerned about his appearance, clothing, and behavior, rather than what he does.

I had a blast all afternoon.

Later that evening, Valentina reluctantly left with Baggio.

Redondo said with a smile, "I feel you'd be perfect for raising children, Dejan."

"Hold on."

Lu Deyang said.

Lu Deyang only had time to read the newspaper when he got home.

Most of the news is about yesterday's match.

Buffon finally achieved his goal of becoming a star, appearing on the front page of almost every sports newspaper.

Gazzetta dello Sport wrote: "Gianluigi Buffon, Lorenzo Buffon's grand-nephew, is Milan's next Buffon, just like Milan's next Maldini. It's great to witness such a legacy, but it's probably not good news for other Italian goalkeepers. If you're not as good as Rossi, even if you're selected for the Italian national team, you'll likely be Buffon's backup. Considering Buffon's age, being his backup won't get you a long career."

Lu Deyang couldn't help but laugh.

This report is fucking true.

If we didn't know the outcome, who would have thought that Buffon had been so consistent for so many years?

From Kahn to Casillas, Van der Sar to Neuer, De Gea, Oblak, Courtois... none of Buffon's opponents over the years have been easy to deal with.

However, in terms of career stability, it's really hard to find anyone who can compare to him.

They either achieve great things late in life or decline prematurely. There are very few goalkeepers who can consistently remain in the top three in the world like Buffon for twenty years.

12 month 22 day.

Milan hosted their final match of the year at home.

Next, besides Christmas, there's the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

Lu Deyang is considered a strong contender for the award this year.

Sacchi still started Lu Deyang in this match, hoping that he could rack up some stats before the awards ceremony to give the world an explanation.

The teammates obviously thought so too.

Lu Deyang scored 7 goals in the first half, causing the away fans in the stands to burst into tears.

When teammates like Totti, Baggio, Van Basten, Redondo, and Albertini work hard to feed one person, that person has too many balls to receive.

If the game had lasted only 45 minutes, the final score would not have been just 9-0.

This match also allowed the world to witness Milan's strongest form.

When the whole team feeds Lu Deyang, his stable and terrifying scoring efficiency is maximized, making him a nightmare for every opponent.

In an interview with Bild, Beckenbauer said: "If I were to coach Dejan, I would build a special squad for him. Some people say that team football is replacing superstar football, but this kind of thing is impossible for Dejan."

Lu Deyang spent Christmas with his girlfriends.

He finally assembled his filming crew before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

December 27, on the streets of Milan.

Although it was already winter, the "actors" were all wearing summer clothes.

After the shoot, the group immediately put on down jackets and carried hot chocolate.

"Deyang, I knew that agreeing to your request wouldn't lead to anything good."

Paul Ma stammered, trembling.

“Gigi doesn’t even have a chance to film,” Totti said directly.

Deyang is doing you a favor by hiring you.

Lu Deyang smiled and gave a thumbs up; he liked this little prince just the way he was.

The main problem is that Buffon is too tall.

Today, we'll add Paul Ma.

The two Robertos and the little prince temporarily formed another group, FozzaItaly, or F4 for short.

To ensure he achieved the desired effect, Lu Deyang even drew storyboards for every single second.

For a long time to come, idol dramas will dominate Asia, so let's have a few people shoot a cool and handsome commercial.

Even her clothes were designed by Lu Deyang.

It's impossible to make them look so tacky.

After a few minutes of rest, the director called for filming to resume.

The shot showed two cars, both new models from Fiat, one of the sponsors of the advertisement. They even paid me to film this ad.

The two cars came to a stop.

The driver and passenger doors of the car behind opened, and the passenger door of the sports car in front also got out.

As the driver who was reversing, Maldini got out of the car, pulled up his shirt collar, put one hand in his pocket, and walked forward, looking around as he went.

Next up were Mancini and Totti.

The three men got out of the car and kept looking around, but their eyes never met.

Finally, Baggio, dressed in a casual suit, got out of the driver's seat of the car in front and began to look around.

The four of them looked in a total of 16 directions.

"Monica!"

Baggio exclaimed in surprise.

The camera switched to the other side of the street, and from below, Monica, with her powerful aura, walked two meters with an imposing presence, her high heels constantly hitting the ground.

Hearing Baggio's call, Monica couldn't help but smile, exuding confidence and composure.

As a big star, she's seen this kind of thing many times.

Just as she was waiting for a few people to come and chat with her, Baggio and his group quickly walked past her. Monica was stunned and turned around to find that they had rushed into the hamburger shop.

At this moment, let's take a close-up look at the burger shop's sign: Monica Burger.

Finally, the group held up their hamburgers and said in broken Chinese, "For hamburgers, I support Monica Burger! Authentic hamburgers, only at Monica..."
