"He keeps his word; that's Deyang."

Buffon whispered a reminder from behind Maldini.

"I understand, Gigi."

Maldini said irritably.

He had just made a sarcastic remark to Lu Deyang when he was immediately met with a counterattack.

With so many teammates, he really felt comfortable leaving his child with Lu Deyang's family.

Everyone else's family has some problems to some extent.

Young people can't even take care of themselves. Totti is even researching how long to cook macaroni. How can he take care of children?

As for those old folks, let's not even talk about whether they'd be happy if you suddenly dumped your child there.

He was also worried about the captain's family, whose situation was complicated.
As for Verjoward, Maldini had heard that Soviets took their children to bathe in frozen lakes in the winter, and his son probably wasn't so resistant to the cold.

And I heard that his son wants to create a new Soviet Union.

It wouldn't be good if Chris and his friends raided my house later.

Maldini looked around and suddenly felt that the team should strengthen its morale and sportsmanship.

At the very least, we can't let these young people's homes become as chaotic as they are, so that they won't be able to find many suitable places to leave their children.

He's going to do this after Baresi retires.

This is all for the team.

Players have harmonious families and no worries when playing football, which allows them to give 100% of their effort.

Paul immediately figured out the most important plan for the team's next phase.

……

Mihajlovic stands with his hands on his hips.

He really didn't expect that Lu Deyang would fool him with just a feint.

Many people know how to use a shoulder feint while running.

But maintaining a deceptive facade isn't easy.

This requires your body to coordinate with your shoulders to make a convincingly realistic movement.

Doing this while running without affecting your subsequent dribbling is itself a challenge.

Many players know their movements are not quite right when they do this, but they still stop and keep running because their movements are in place, making them more deceptive and slowing them down.

The feint became ineffective.

The players' abilities can be really seen in the details.

Mihajlovic then remembered a former Red Star Belgrade teammate.

That team back then was truly full of talent.

Unfortunately, by the time he transferred to Red Star, the team had already been eliminated by Lu Deyang.

By the time he arrived in Serie A, Lu Deyang had also transferred.

So let alone teammates, the two of them have never even been opponents.

He had only heard about Lu Deyang's abilities from some of his teammates, and now that he saw it, they were being somewhat conservative.

Fortunately, Sampdoria held on for the final stages of the first half.

With one less player on their side, they were dominated by Milan and went into halftime with a score of 3-1.

The little prince, who was sent off with a red card, made many preparations in the dressing room, and even thoughtfully opened the door to ventilate the room.

When his teammates returned, Totti immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Your red card has dragged us down."

Buffon directly mocked.

Totti retorted, "That was Dejan who saved everyone, it has nothing to do with you, the Albanian international who conceded a goal from a free kick."

"Damn it, I just happened to see refugees climbing onto an Italian merchant ship."

Buffon got a little anxious and tried to explain.

"No need to say anything more, I will call the immigration office after the game."

Totti said, his neck stiff.

"Damn illiterate!"

"You are an Albanian illiterate!"

Buffon: ...

Totti was quite formidable today.

He looked at Totti suspiciously, feeling as if his roommate had been replaced by a different soul.

Totti laughed triumphantly.

It was worth it for him to take a lesson in arguing at a coffee shop during his break.

"Alright, there are still 45 minutes left in today's match."

Sacchi walked into the locker room and said, "Sampdoria has never been a tough opponent, and I'm sure you all know that."

Many players nodded in agreement.

Even without Lu Deyang, Sampdoria would be in third place now.

Their strength is undeniable.

Sampdoria has a star-studded central axis from the forward line to the goal line, which is stronger than most teams.

“We’re down a man, so I’ll be focusing on defense in the second half. Marco and Roberto, one of you needs to come off. Have you decided who it is?”

"Saki asked."

Basten reluctantly raised his hand.

He suspected the coach was doing it on purpose.

Davies needs a foreign player slot, Lu Deyang and Redondo are on the field, and then you ask me who should come off between Baggio and me? Are you trying to show your democratic spirit?
This is fucking democracy; it restricts you with conditions, but doesn't restrict your ability to vote.

If he was guessing, Van Basten felt that Sacchi had a better future as a politician than as a coach.

“Great, Marco has asked to come off the field, which makes our lineup easier to arrange. Edgar, you can go out and warm up. We'll make the substitutions in the second half.”

After finishing his speech, Sacchi left the locker room, leaving the rest of the time to the players.

After all, his presence puts pressure on the players, preventing them from getting proper rest.

"I recently bought Dell stock."

"Watching Sacchi leave," Van Basten said.

Near the end of his career, he became more interested in investing.

"That's great, but remember to sell it soon."

Lu Deyang said.

He knew about the financial crisis, but he didn't know how the various companies were performing during it.

At this time, stocks that have risen significantly should have a considerable impact.

"It's okay, I'm measured."

Van Basten said with a smile.

Lu Deyang: ...

It doesn't sound reliable.

Baggio, standing to the side, asked, "Have you decided when to arrange my statue?"

"Yeah, soon."

Lu Deyang said.

He glanced at Baggio's face.

Even if this guy wore the Ke Zhen'e suit, he probably wouldn't look bad.

Why not just give Mancini an extra whip and have Baggio jump through a ring of fire?

Seeing the silence in the locker room, Albertini said, "Have you seen the news? It says that someone in Ukraine has sold several nuclear bombs."

"Really!"

Totti asked, his eyes wide.

"Of course, they say they sell anything, as long as you pay."

Albertini reiterated.

"Damn it, I hope I never have to use my doomsday bunker."

Totti turned to Dejan and asked, "Dejan, if my high school were destroyed by a nuclear bomb, would I be able to graduate directly?"

A burst of laughter erupted in the locker room.

This child always has such unique ideas.

Costacurta said, "I think your enrollment will be transferred to another high school. You'll still need to take an exam unless you can prove you took it before the nuclear explosion."

"Do I no longer need to prove that I passed?"

Totti asked again.

Costacurta nodded.

After something this big has happened, who the hell would hold you back for having a high school diploma?

Looking at the eager young prince, the players in the Milan locker room were a little worried. Would this kid do something big after graduation?

After a 15-minute halftime break, the players got up and left the locker room.

Totti could only sit there and watch his teammates come on.

This feeling is really unpleasant.

Not all players are willing to take the money without playing any games.

Sitting in the locker room, Totti began to think of ways to graduate early.

He wasn't that crazy about launching nuclear missiles, nor did he want to cause any explosions.

But what if he goes to take the exam, and his lover steals the ungraded exam paper?
You can't blame him for this, right? Losing the exam paper should count as passing, right?

Thinking about it that way, it actually makes sense.

All you need to do is find a Gypsy gang and spend some money.

He never expected that the problem that had been bothering him for several years would be solved so easily.

Totti thought he was a true genius.

I wonder what Buffon's expression will be when he sees that he graduated first.

He reads books in bed every day, as if nobody knows that.

Totti suspects that Buffon falls asleep every time he reads, rather than secretly studying.

……

In the second half, Milan substituted Davids for Van Basten, maintaining a total of three foreign players on the field.

Eriksson also opted for a substitution, replacing attacking midfielder Vincenzo Icopino with Marco Pecorari.

This 19-year-old has good hold-up ability, and at 1.87 meters tall, he is enough to put some pressure on Milan's defense.

During this period, AC Milan's defense was unusually short for Serie A.

It's just a coincidence that Milan's defenders are strong but not tall; almost every one of them is like that.

After Pecorari came on, Sampdoria's long passes became much more threatening.

The essence of football is long passes and crosses.

If ground passing fails to create opportunities, teams with long passing capabilities will choose to play this way.

Looking at it this way, Moyes was quite a genius.

He made 81 crosses in a single game; if he had been in the same league as Bierhoff, he wouldn't have fared so poorly.

In the 51st minute, Karembeu received the ball and passed it back to Veron. Veron was standing near the halfway line and was about to launch a long pass when Redondo rushed up and turned to block it.

Veron had no choice but to switch from a pass to a dunk, but he was immediately marked closely by Redondo.

After failing to get past the defender twice, Veron opted to pass back.

Baleri, who had come up, dribbled forward.

Upon seeing this, Maldini immediately rushed over.

His success rate with frontal tackles is very high.

Baleri clearly knew this too, and upon seeing Maldini, he immediately delivered a cross.

Franceschetti was a step too slow in controlling the ball and was immediately marked by Albertini.

Despite the similarity in spelling of his surname to Totti's, he is a standard defensive midfielder.

Originally a defender, he wasn't very agile on his feet.

Faced with this situation, he immediately wanted to send a message back.

However, this time Lu Deyang rushed up and stole the ball.

Lu Deyang received the ball and moved diagonally to the right.

The Sampdoria players, chasing back, followed in a long line behind Lu Deyang.

Seeing this, Baggio chose to switch positions, voluntarily running to the left wing.

At this moment, Lu Deyang suddenly turned around and made a wide pass, Baggio stopped on the left and continued to rush forward.

Franceschetti chose to turn around and chase after Baggio.

Baggio flicked the ball forward, sending it out of his control. Franceschetti, thinking it was an opportunity, gritted his teeth and charged towards Baggio, launching a sliding tackle from the side.

Baggio anticipated his move, rushed behind the ball, and flicked it back with the outside of his right foot, avoiding Francescoti's sliding tackle. He immediately launched a long pass, once again making a wide-ranging switch of play.

"Dejan, volley! Goal!!!"

"Dejan has scored another goal. Today, Dejan doesn't stop the ball at all. He shoots directly as soon as the ball reaches him."

"That was beautiful. Just the way you kept the ball under control and prevented it from going into the stands is something many attacking players could learn for a lifetime."

"Another factor is judging the landing point."

“Dejan was originally standing behind Mihajlovic, but as soon as the ball came, he ran to the opponent's right side. Dejan's judgment of the landing point is too accurate, so he can be one step ahead. Every single one of Dejan's strengths could be a signature skill for an ordinary attacking player. It is the combination of so many excellent aspects that makes up the Dejan we see.”

Baggio smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Lu Deyang waved from the right flank.

This level of cooperation is not difficult for them.

That's why everyone likes to play football with a genius.

The teams are evenly matched, so the game won't be too tiring.

At this point, Sacchi turned to the player and asked, "If we want to strengthen the defense by substituting Dejan, who should we bring on?"

"Rezig, let Coco play as a winger."

"Tardelli said."

Sacchi's eyes lit up; playing a full-back as a winger is a tradition in Italy.

Many full-backs have also played as winger.

It just so happens that Keke can play on both wings.

Lu Deyang's departure will free up another foreign player spot, so if we add another Dutchman, we can't say we're not giving them a chance.

For a big team like AC Milan, the number of foreign player slots is too limited.

Even if Milan were given six foreign player slots, it might not be enough.

It's not that Italian players are bad.

However, at this point, Italian players had a slight advantage due to their Italian citizenship.

It is precisely because of the restrictions on the number of foreign players that Italy's top players are so expensive.

Players of similar ability can be bought for half the price and at a discounted rate in the Balkans.

Saki turned and beckoned to Reizig with his finger.

Reiziger took off his jacket and started warming up on the sidelines.

This full-back is already considering a transfer; he's too young to be relegated to the bench all the time.

His main concern is whether Milan will buy a domestic striker after Van Basten retires.

If they continue to buy foreign players, then he will have to leave the team.

Spending two seasons on the bench makes it difficult to get selected for the national team again.

"Sacchi is preparing to make another substitution, and this time I reckon he wants to replace Dejan."

"However, Dejan's performance today was indeed outstanding. Even though the opponents didn't commit any particularly aggressive fouls, I was still a little worried that Dejan might have been playing too hard."

Krudelli was somewhat worried that Lu Deyang had strained himself.

Generating power while volleying is much more difficult than when the ball is on the ground.

……

"We can't lose like this, it's too embarrassing."

Mihajlovic shouted.

After three seasons in Italy, he speaks Italian quite well.

"Be careful."

"Barreri said."

As a long-time rival, he knew Lu Deyang all too well.

Oh shit.

He used to play for other teams, and Lu Deyang dominated him at Sampdoria.

He went to Sampdoria, while Lu Deyang went to England.

Even if we weren't teammates, at least I wouldn't have to face Lu Deyang. Sampdoria's performance wasn't good during that period, and they couldn't qualify for the Champions League to face Manchester United.

I never expected that we'd become rivals again this season.

In Italy, you can't survive playing right-back without considerable skill.

Fortunately, Baleri is quite capable, and most importantly, he has a good mentality.

Otherwise, most people wouldn't be able to stand being the background character every time they face Lu Deyang.

Veron turned to look at his teammates discussing, but didn't join in.

However, their desire to transfer is already very strong.

He hopes to join a team capable of challenging AC Milan and accomplish what Maradona failed to do.

There's only one game left this season, and Maradona will most likely retire at the end of the season. It seems like Maradona won't be able to beat Lu Deyang even once.

If he can defeat Lu Deyang, he can fulfill Maradona's wish.

He would likely be treated like a hero in Argentina.

As they moved forward to prepare for the kickoff, Veron suddenly had an idea. He said to the two forwards, "After the kickoff, you two run forward quickly. I'll try to pass the ball directly to them for a quick counter-attack."

Pecorari's eyes lit up.

The 19-year-old already had a picture in his mind.

He passed the ball across to Montella, who then passed it back to Veron. Veron then headed the ball to Montella, who scored a one-on-one goal.

Although one goal won't affect the outcome of the game, it at least gave the player a chance to shine.

Pecorari nodded vigorously, ready even before the kickoff.

beep—

Pecorari quickly made a horizontal pass and then started charging forward.

Montella briefly received the ball, giving Pecorari time to make a forward run, and only passed it back to him when Davis pressed him.

After Veron received the ball and estimated the time it would take for Montella to get off, he stepped on the ball with his right foot, pulled back, adjusted his arm, and kicked the ball out with a long kick.

Sampdoria was somewhat surprised by this. Redondo noticed the other's unusual behavior, but he was a step too slow when he ran back.

Veron's pass went straight for Milan's defense. Costacurta couldn't beat the energized Pecorari in the header, and the young Pecorari headed the ball towards Montella's side.

It was almost exactly as they had planned.

But at that moment, Baresi went down first and made a sliding tackle inside the penalty area.

Montella was just one step away from receiving the ball, but could only watch as it was slid towards the left wing.

Maldini tapped the ball forward, and only after Veron and Karembeu reached him did he unleash a powerful right-footed shot.

While both Maldini and Veron used long passes, Maldini's long passes were less accurate.

However, the attacking players in front of him are stronger.

This pass didn't require high precision; it was simply aimed behind Sampdoria's defense. Soon, Sampdoria fans witnessed a familiar yet terrifying scene: Lu Deyang accelerated past David Baleri.

Dean was also left behind by Lu Deyang.

It's a one-on-one situation!!!
Seeing this, Ferron quickly launched an attack, but dared not rush too far forward.

He could only stand in front of the penalty area and wait for Lu Deyang.

The ball bounced and entered the penalty area, followed by Lu Deyang.

As the ball bounced up again, Lu Deyang struck the back of the ball with his right foot.

boom--

Ferron felt the ball was moving too fast, and he dove to the side to meet a strong gust of wind, but he didn't feel any impact on his hand.

After landing, he heard the rustling sound of the ball rubbing against the net behind him.

The ball went in!

Boom—"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

A huge cheer erupted at the San Siro stadium.

Today, Lu Deyang completely turned a disadvantage into an advantage, showing no respect for his former team at all.

Although Sampdoria's situation is complicated, Milan fans still insist on this view.

No fan would dislike this kind of player.

"The fifth one, Deyang!"

"Dejan scored five consecutive volleys today, which will be a new record. It's not easy to score five goals in a game, let alone five consecutive volleys."

"Perhaps this is the limitation Dejan imposed on himself. I was going to make five volleys today, so he made five volleys. I can't even imagine how terrifying it would be if Dejan, who is so strict with himself, gave up his self-discipline."

"When discussing a player or looking at statistics, Dejan has already broken down the types of goals he scores, and it's hard to imagine another player coming close to his level. Rivera's judgment of Dejan alone proves that his eye for talent is better than his skill!"

Milan fans will always think of that legendary figure when they hear this.

Rivera really did everything he could to get the team to sign Ludwig.

Before that season started, some fans thought Rivera was making a mountain out of a molehill.

But once the season started, the Rossoneri realized what Milan had missed.

Even if they traded the two Dutch swordsmen for Lu Deyang, they wouldn't lose out.

After all these years, Rivera has finally achieved his dream.

"It's a change, Dejan."

Baggio pointed to the sidelines and said.

Lu Deyang turned his head and saw the number on the substitution board, then walked to the sidelines.

Cheers and applause erupted once again at the San Siro stadium.

Now every match day feels like Christmas to the Rossoneri.

Lu Deyang waved to the stands, then high-fived Reiziger on the sidelines before leaving the field.

Sacchi handed him a water bottle and said, "Let's go back to the locker room first. It's not a big deal to go home early sometimes. You can also try to talk some sense into Francisco."

"Okay, coach."

Lu Deyang said.

It's perfect to go out for lunch now that the game starts in the afternoon.

Lu Deyang was indeed quite tired today; he was sweating from running.

He turned around and walked into the tunnel with the team doctor.

Tardelli couldn't help but ask, "Arigo, isn't this an exception?"

"how could be."

"Saki asked."

“The players won’t believe Dejan is injured,” Tardelli said.

"I just asked Dejan to talk to the young man who got his blood on the line, not to give him an early holiday," Saki said seriously.

Tardelli silently gave a thumbs up.

Damn it, no wonder you're the head coach.
