If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 290 Blitzkrieg Calderon (Please Subscribe)

Football has never been separated from its class attributes.

The competition intensified after the wealthy entered this sport that belonged to the common people.

Some people have said that football is a war without gunpowder, and that is the most authentic aspect of football.

Atlético Madrid was originally a division of Athletic Bilbao, founded by three Basque students.

Such lineage and class doomed them to a serious antagonism with Real Madrid.

This is also a very tough team. Simeone is still a player, not a coach, and Atletico Madrid is playing "iron-blooded football".

Sacchi didn't seem to care much about the opponent, and even put Lu Deyang on the bench.

Atletico Madrid, which lacks a traditional star striker, fielded Argentine forward Juan Esneijder, a former Real Madrid player. Just eight minutes into the game, he received a cross from full-back Defen Gri and broke through Milan's goal.

This full-back later became the president of Getafe, demonstrating considerable ability in business development.

This result still surprised Lu Deyang somewhat.

He hadn't even heard of the striker Juan before.

Atletico Madrid's tradition of star strikers began with Vieri's 24 goals in 24 games.

"It feels like anyone can score over our defenders."

Rossi complained.

"If the captain hears this, he might give you trouble."

Panucci said with a smile.

Lu Deyang didn't play, so Reiziger got the chance to start.

"I'm telling the truth. In the summer, the team needs to make signings, especially taller defenders," Rossi said.

He's gotten used to being a substitute lately.

However, he did not give up, but waited for an opportunity.

Buffon was able to rise to prominence while he was injured, and so can he.

Therefore, Rossi not only did not slack off in training, but also did extra training to maintain his condition.

They also put in a lot of effort when they occasionally appear in cup competitions.

That's how competition is among goalkeepers. Unlike other positions where rotation is more frequent, they have to seize every opportunity.

"The coach is probably already having a headache."

Marco Simone said in a low voice.

Panucci was also chuckling to himself.

Sacchi was surprised that the opponent scored so early.

Moreover, Atlético Madrid plays passionate football.

Their Simeone tackles are like his mother killing someone. During his playing days, Simeone was a very dirty player, and it's hard to say that Atletico Madrid's style of play wasn't influenced by him.

Lu Deyang didn't seem to care much.

At worst, he can come on as a substitute.

Sacchi encountered a 4-5-1 parallel midfield and Atletico Madrid actually managed to contain him with their counter-attacking tactics.

This is also a strange sight for the Italian coach.

Atletico Madrid's five midfielders were almost in a parallel formation, and Milan's inability to break through their midfield today was due to problems on the flanks.

Baggio was clearly out of form, and his partnership with Ma Paul was also mediocre.

Does this F3 not work if one component is missing?
As for the Little Prince, Lu Deyang suspected that Simone would be playing him later.

Totti can control his temper, which is why his opponents shouldn't commit frequent, deliberate fouls.

Simeone, that old fox, has been harassing Totti with dirty tricks, and Totti has been focusing most of his energy on countering Simeone today.

This is a typical piece-exchanging tactic.

Moreover, Simeone didn't expend much physical effort; he relied more on his hands and mouth.

"Don't fall for it, Francisco!"

Lu Deyang, who couldn't stand it anymore, shouted at the field.

Even the King of Land Sports doesn't want to always be in a situation where ten people are needed to save the day.

If they actually resorted to violence, it would be strange if the referee didn't give them a red card.

Fortunately, Tottic managed to control the situation.

"That kid really listens to you."

Marco Simone remarked.

You can feel the arrogance of a genius that Totti exudes when you walk next to him.

An ordinary striker like him was not even worth Totti's attention.

"Francisco is actually very receptive to advice."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Several people on the bench were rolling their eyes.

Near the end of the first half, a conflict broke out between the two sides.

Simeone and Totti were making some rough play when Redondo went to help, but Simeone swung his arm and hit him in the face.

Redondo didn't stand on ceremony with his compatriot, and collapsed, covering his face.

Atletico Madrid received their third and fourth yellow cards in the first half due to this conflict.

When Czech player Bejber went to break up the fight, he was bumped in the nose by his teammate Juanma Lopez.

Fearing the referee would see, the midfielder covered his nose and ran to the sidelines to secretly treat it.

The referee blew the whistle for halftime immediately; otherwise, he might not have been able to keep it a secret.

Totti stormed off the pitch immediately, cursing before even entering the tunnel: "That bastard kept touching me with his hands, I couldn't play football properly at all."

"Maybe he also thinks you're very handsome!"

Buffon said sarcastically from behind.

"Are you referring to Albanian tradition?" Totti countered.

Buffon: ...

One sentence was enough to silence Buffon.

Buffon even suspects that when he's 90 and hospitalized, that bastard Totti will come to see him and ask the doctor if Albanians go to heaven after they die.

As for why 90 years old?
His family has a tradition of longevity.

He was more worried that Totti wouldn't last that long.

Once inside the locker room, many players were complaining.

I was hoping to play against a Spanish team, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Atletico Madrid played much tougher than Premier League teams.

The Premier League teams I encountered in European competitions were more technically skilled.

Even Chelsea are now playing ground passing, with Zola acting as their attacking focal point.

The course of the game was completely unexpected by the players.

"The goal we conceded today was my fault, and I will pay attention to it in the second half."

Baresi spoke up.

"No goal conceded is one person's fault; it's our fault."

Maldini offered words of comfort.

"I regret now that I didn't eat more when I was younger," Baresi said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Actually, he had a pretty good childhood.

He was talented from a young age and was even featured in newspapers.

It's just that my puberty didn't last very long.

He was rejected by Inter Milan and Atalanta because of his small stature, and Milan was also hesitant, but they couldn't bear to part with his talent and conducted a second trial. A group of legends felt that they should keep him.

This included Paul Ma's father, Cesare.

Baresi's truly difficult time was shortly after joining Milan, when his parents passed away.

Only the older brother remained to depend on each other for survival.

He rose through the ranks to become a legendary captain for AC Milan.

His story is just like the protagonist in his mother's novel.

Don't underestimate a young man's youth; fortunes can change in thirty years.

Lu Deyang had this feeling every time he saw Baresi.

This person's personality and experiences are just like those of a character in a story. He became famous at a young age, suffered setbacks due to slow puberty, and finally joined a wealthy family only to have his parents pass away... It's as if all those hardships were specially arranged, and he has experienced far more than the average person.

Sometimes, successful people really do have a strong heart.

Sacchi stood at the door for a while, and after coming in, he said, "Let's play a little longer in the second half and see how it goes. If it doesn't work, I'll bring on Dejan and change the tactics."

Tardelli stood silently behind Sacchi.

He genuinely admired Sacchi.

Even when talking to the players, he would specifically emphasize that bringing on Lu Deyang was for tactical reasons, not because he relied on Lu Deyang.

Hearing this, many players breathed a sigh of relief.

Baggio had a tough time today. Totti was contained, and without a central support point, he didn't have many options.

At 30 years old, it's a bit much to keep dribbling the ball into the opponent's penalty area.

The atmosphere in the locker room became more relaxed, and everyone was chatting.

Some of my teammates wanted to buy some souvenirs to take back with them during our trip to Madrid.

If we lose, this activity will not be held.

Players are pretty much the same as ordinary people.

What souvenirs are available in Madrid?

Baggio asked curiously.

"Seafood rice?"

Lu Deyang said uncertainly.

"I heard there's a jewelry store that sells the same silver medal that Dejan swam at Real Madrid, and it's selling quite well," Maldini said with a smile.

"I do not even know."

Lu Deyang said.

"It was a waiter at the restaurant who told me that he is an Atlético Madrid fan."

Maldini said.

Lu Deyang took a look and exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

This guy is a true die-hard fan; he recommends that every tourist buy souvenirs commemorating Real Madrid's crushing defeat.

Who knows, this might become a Madrid specialty in the future.

After a short rest, Lu Deyang followed his teammates out and returned to the bench.

Neither side made any substitutions.

Radomir Antić's coaching style is rather conservative.

Interestingly, it was Boskov's recommendation that enabled him to coach Zaragoza.

Before Atlético Madrid, he also coached Real Madrid.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid continued to play a very determined counter-attacking style, preferring to forgo any opportunities rather than allow Milan to create any chances.

The scene was incredibly boring.

Boos erupted from the away fans in the stands.

The Rossoneri can't stand today's opponents.

In the 67th minute, Baggio switched to the right wing, received the ball, and attempted a breakthrough. He was tackled from the side by Munitz, and the referee showed him a yellow card.

However, because Baggio was unable to stand up, a conflict still broke out between the two teams.

"Dejan, get ready to warm up."

Saki said.

Without Baggio, Milan's ability to break through defenses is even worse.

We must replace him with Lu Deyang.

Fortunately, there are fewer restrictions in the Champions League, allowing Milan to use their foreign players more freely.

Baggio, as expected, could not continue.

Lu Deyang stood directly on the sidelines, watching the team doctor help Baggio off the field.

Lu Deyang asked, "How is it? Will you need to recuperate for a long time?"

"Probably not, I'll be back soon," Baggio said with a smile.

Lu Deyang nodded, took the initiative to give Baggio a high-five, and then quickly ran onto the field.

Krudelli got excited and shouted in the live stream, "Dejan is on stage! Dejan is on stage!"

"Finally, Dejan is on the field. The end is near for Madrid. Some fans may not remember, but today's Atletico Madrid coach, Antić, used to be Real Madrid's coach. He was the one who coached Real Madrid when Dejan and Sampdoria thrashed them. Of course, Antić was sacked shortly after those two matches. I doubt whether Dejan will lead to his second dismissal from the Madrid team."

Many fans then realized what was going on.

After all, Antić wasn't exactly a famous coach.

Fans only remember Sampdoria's thrashing of Real Madrid.

If it were Mourinho or Ten Hag, fans might remember who set the bad record.

The little prince was excited to see Lu Deyang appear and said arrogantly, "We're going to fight back and teach them a lesson!"

Lu Deyang smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Tony Muniz received a yellow card, and Maldini kicked off from the backfield.

Milan's organization was noticeably more methodical and composed than before.

This is the change brought about by Lu Deyang's appearance.

Redondo received the ball and passed it to the left wing.

Juan Aguilera immediately slid in to force Lu Deyang to move, and Camino tried to double-team him.

Lu Deyang flicked the ball with his left foot to his right, and easily dribbled past his opponent with a fritter.

However, Atletico Madrid's defense was very tight in the second half, and after dribbling past his opponent, Lu Deyang passed the ball back with a backheel.

Some of the flashy performances drew huge boos from the Calderon Stadium.

Jesus Hill, sitting in the VIP box, laughed and said, "So what if he's the best player in Europe? He can only pass the ball back to us in front of our defense. It seems that the level of Serie A is lower than I thought."

Little Hill smiled but didn't say anything.

He disagreed with his father's opinion.

But he dared not refute it.

Because old Hill actually fucking hit people.

As Jesus Hill's son, young Hill knew his father's character very well.

Old Hill didn't care about the facts; he only said what he wanted to say and wouldn't look at what he didn't want to see.

Even if the result is different from what he expected, he will find an excuse to explain it.

Sometimes, even little Hill wondered if his father really had his own set of logic.

After all, he always has a seemingly logical explanation for the outrageous things he does.

……

The score remained unchanged, but Milan became much more active after Lu Deyang came on.

The attack is also going down the left flank, which is cheaper.

After receiving the ball, Albertini passed it to the left wing again. Lu Deyang waved for Davis to move forward. After dribbling laterally, Davis suddenly flicked the ball with his toe and passed it to Reiziger who was making a forward run.

Reizig didn't expect Lu Deyang to pass the ball so decisively. He was a step too slow when controlling the ball, and by the time Lu Deyang made his run into the middle, Simeone had already rushed to Lu Deyang's side.

Knowing he had made a mistake, Raizig looked at himself, somewhat hesitant.

Albertini quickly reached out for the ball.

After receiving the ball, Albertini passed it to the left wing again, and Maldini began to dribble forward.

Lu Deyang had already returned to his position, but Simone dared not follow.

Seeing this, Totti looked towards the left flank.

I want to try a different route with Lu Deyang and see how Simone reacts.

Lu Deyang nodded and made a diagonal run, while Totti ran to the left.

For a moment, Simeone was unsure who to follow, but after a brief struggle, he chose Totti.

After all, Totti seems easier to bully.

If we can really get this hothead off the field, we'll be one step closer to victory today.

Totti stood still upon seeing this.

Since everyone's following him, it's better to stand next to Lu Deyang so it's easier to coordinate.

After Maldini dribbled past the halfway line, Camino tried to keep him on the wing and wait for his teammates to provide cover.

Maldini, who had the ball, flicked it forward and accelerated past his opponent.

Seeing this, Defe Glide quickly pressed forward; this attack-minded full-back was very fast.

Maldini could only grit his teeth and accelerate.

Fortunately, he got to the ball first and quickly passed it out.

Totti turned around to receive the ball, flicked it with his right foot and turned on the spot, and Simeone tried to get closer.

Before he could get forward, Totti, already facing the penalty area, flicked his right ankle and passed the ball to his left foot, then smoothly delivered a diagonal pass forward with the inside of his left foot.

He was a bit clumsy when receiving the ball, but his passing speed was extremely fast.

Oops!

Simone quickly turned around and rushed towards Lu Deyang.

David Denya also opted to contest the shot at this point.

However, Lu Deyang, who had the ball, flicked it with the outside of his right foot and immediately swung his right foot.

boom--

Denya tried to block the ball, but failed, and it flew past him quickly.

With no obstacles in the penalty area, Lu Deyang played a high-quality shot at extremely high speed. By the time Jose Molina made his diving save, it was too late. The ball had already gone into the goal when he reached the left wing, making him an easy target.

boom--

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

"Deyang!"

After a long silence, the away fans in the stands erupted in cheers.

The Rossoneri fans unleashed their pent-up emotions for most of the match, with many taking off their shirts and waving them around, shouting Lu Deyang's name at the top of their lungs, eager to rush onto the field and embrace the goal scorer to express their excitement.

"Goal!!!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"GoalGoalGoal!"

"Dejan helped Milan equalize just six minutes after coming on, keeping them unbeaten, but I don't think this is the final result. When the final whistle blows at the end of the 90th minute, Milan will still maintain their perfect record for the season."

"What a beautiful and terrifying shot! 172 kilometers per hour, a speed unimaginable for many players, yet Dejan can effortlessly unleash it. Even some free-kick masters can only achieve a slightly slower speed during set pieces, but Dejan created such a terrifying shot with a casual kick in positional play."

"It's not an accident that the goalkeeper couldn't save it; it's pure luck if he did. But with this kind of ball speed, even if he saved it, there's no guarantee of a good outcome!"

"Krudelli said."

Even though the gloves have been continuously improved in terms of shock absorption.

However, when the ball speed reaches a certain level, that so-called technological content simply won't be enough.

Lu Deyang, who scored the goal, turned and walked back.

The excited little prince, however, transformed into a celebratory player, jumping up, turning around, and giving another "Siu..."

"Shh!"

Boos erupted from the Calderon Stadium.

Totti, however, didn't care at all.

He played very frustratingly against Simeone today.

This time, switching positions with Lu Deyang made it easy for him to outmaneuver Simone.

Damn it, a guy who only knows how to use underhanded tactics dares to stand between him and Lu Deyang.

Does he really think he's some kind of world-class defensive midfielder, capable of marking one player and defending against passing lanes?

Didn't he just give us the assist?
With Lu Deyang around, Totti felt more at ease.

He even plans to use his fancy footwork to assist Lu Deyang in front of Simeone when he gets the chance later.

He makes quite a few backheel passes, and Totti is confident that Ludjohn will be able to receive them.

Courtside.

A slight smile appeared on Saki's face.

After all, it wasn't surprising that Lu Deyang scored a goal after coming on.

Sacchi pointed to the field and said, "Substitutions are very important, and my substitutions had an immediate effect."

"Yes, Arigo."

"I can't help it," Tardelli said helplessly.

He has recently come to understand the true meaning of being a coach.

The key is that your players are strong enough; when the time comes, you can say whatever you want.

The winner has the right to say anything.

Eisner stands in midfield waiting for the kickoff.

Totti turned to Dejan and said, "Dejan, have you noticed that there are a lot of people calling Juan on the field today?"

Lu Deyang nodded.

Spain really does have this characteristic.

He had noticed this when he looked at the roster before; Atletico Madrid had too many players with "juan" in their names, including five in the starting lineup alone, if you include Juanma.

Juan, Juanma, Juan Carlos...

The Spanish really like using the name Juan.

South Americans often have similar names, making it easy to tell their ancestry.

As people of mixed race, they have a very strong sense of Spanish identity.

Esneijder passed the ball across, and Pantic received it somewhat carelessly. Davis immediately charged forward like a mad dog.

Pantic turned to shield the ball, but it was too late. Davis spread his arms and leaned his weight on him, hooking the ball to his feet twice in a row.

The team lost possession of the ball right after kickoff, which angered Atletico Madrid fans.

A huge chorus of boos erupted again from the crowd.

Pantic quickly regained possession, even wrapping his arms around Davis's waist.

However, as a Dutch player, Davids' basic skills are still excellent. Even with the opponent's influence, he easily passed the ball back to Albertini, who passed it forward without stopping, attempting to launch a fast attack.

Totti still received the ball with his back to the goal and turned around.

Facing Simeone, Totti flicked the ball with his right foot, deceiving Simeone into losing his balance, and then immediately passed the ball to his left foot.

As Simeone moved again, Totti flicked the ball with his right foot, squeezing past Simeone and delivering a diagonal pass.

There is plenty of space in the middle.

But the vengeful little prince deliberately bumped into Simone's shoulder.

It's just the start of the game, and Atletico Madrid players haven't pushed forward yet.

Lu Deyang faced a very tight defense when he received the ball on the left wing.

Redondo quickly came up to receive the pass, and Lu Deyang passed the ball to Redondo while running towards the penalty area himself.

Atletico Madrid's defenders all marked Ludjohnsen, with no one going up to defend Redondo.

Even so, Redondo still passed the ball back to Ludjohn.

Caminero and Defe Glee lowered their weight and waited for Lu Deyang to come forward.

However, Lu Deyang did not stop the ball when he received it. He seized the opportunity with his left foot, passed the ball to Camino, and easily dribbled past him into the penalty area.

Juanma López, who was trailing behind, gestured for caution in the penalty area.

At this point, most of Atletico Madrid's players had returned to the penalty area.

Beibel came up to block Lu Deyang, but he didn't rush to kick him, hoping to delay and wait for his teammates to come to his aid.

But Lu Deyang, who had just finished dribbling past someone, raised his right foot as if to shoot, and Beibel quickly turned to block it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Deyang raised his right foot high and then gently lowered it, cutting past him into the penalty area. Denya couldn't catch up in time.

Lu Deyang quickly pushed the ball forward from the edge of the six-yard box, but Molina could only watch as the ball rolled past him and into the far corner of the goal.

Reversal!
It took less than ten minutes to go from equalizing to turning the tide.

Atletico Madrid's manager even held his head in his hands, unable to believe his eyes.

The entire defensive line, and even the midfield, had retreated, yet the opponent still managed to dribble past them several times and score.

Even Atlético Madrid fans couldn't help but marvel at how terrifyingly decisive it was.
