If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 291 The Team Battle Begins (Please Subscribe)

Redondo clearly looked down on his compatriot Simeone.

After celebrating, Lu Deyang went to celebrate in front of Simone and made a book-flipping gesture.

My good brother really loves reading.

If he's willing to stand in front of Monica's Hamburger, he might as well adopt the look of Goenitz.

In the early days, the national team was divided into a mess of North and South factions.

This would be ten times more complicated in Argentina.

For Buenos Aires players, it depends on whether they come from Boca Juniors or River Plate.

Redondo and Simeone both came from Buenos Aires teams.

Redondo's former club, Young Boys, is also located in the Boca Juniors area. It's a team that's even more accessible to ordinary people than Boca Juniors. It's quite interesting that a rich kid would start his professional career here.

Sarsfield, where Simone is from, has a large Italian immigrant population.

This in itself gave the players an excuse to be at odds.

Most importantly, Redondo disapproved of Simeone's defensive style.

You can use your body, but you can't touch someone else's body.

Redondo despised those who used underhanded tactics to provoke their opponents.

He simply doesn't want to acknowledge that Simone is his compatriot.

After all, everyone knows that these little tricks are meant to annoy people.

Simone didn't seem to care much.

As a master at manipulating people's mentality, he wouldn't get angry so easily.

If you use too many underhanded tactics, your opponent will use all sorts of foul language when they curse at you.

Jesus Hill, sitting in the private room, looked extremely grim.

He asked in a low voice, "Who do you think should be held responsible for how the game turned out today?"

Little Hill didn't dare to say anything.

His father wouldn't go so far as to kill someone.

But they're bound to cause some trouble.

Hill doesn't have much contact with the team, and there's no need for him to deliberately annoy anyone.

The players are just playing their games properly, while I'm just sitting at home, and this trouble comes out of nowhere.

How uncomfortable.

Little Hill quickly came up with a suggestion: "I think it's the Real Madrid fans' fault. They knew we were going to play in the Champions League, and they often deliberately caused trouble. They even came to the training ground, which definitely affected the first team's performance."

Jesus Hill's eyes lit up.

It's not out of the question whether or not to team up with Real Madrid.

His main concern was that he didn't want to bully those nobody.

It just so happens that Sans has a powerful background, so he plans to target Sans this time.

"Go back and arrange a meeting with a reporter for me. I want to condemn this behavior that disrupts the preparations of our city rivals," Jesus Hill said.

Hill finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as his father doesn't target his own people, it's fine.

With Sans's strength, he shouldn't be in too much pain.

……

The players from both sides have returned to midfield to prepare for the kickoff.

The Atlético Madrid players were still somewhat confused about the situation.

The first goal was alright; at least everyone played for a while.

The second ball was simply taken away. If you don't count the time wasted on celebration, less than a minute had passed between their last kickoff and this one.

This is no ordinary blow.

If the referee hadn't urged them, the Atletico Madrid players wouldn't have even bothered to return to midfield to restart the game.

Esneijder passed the ball back again, and Camino quickly passed it to Beyber, who then passed it to Pantic.

Pantic dribbled the ball and charged straight forward.

The Serbian player, being physically strong, chose to force his way past Davis.

Davis was knocked off balance by the collision.

The two players are quite interesting; whoever has the ball has the advantage.

Albertini quickly went to the wing to provide defensive support.

Beyber came up to receive the ball quickly, and Redondo was careful to prevent the opponent from getting the ball.

However, Pantic opted to pass the ball back.

Tony Munitz received the ball and immediately chipped it over Reizig's head. As Pantic started his run, Albertini followed him out.

However, it was still a bit slow.

Fortunately, Costacurta cleared the ball out of bounds, defusing the crisis.

"What's very interesting is that opponents like to attack Milan's right flank. On the left flank, besides Dejan, there are also Redondo and Maldini, so it's not easy for Milan to break through on the left. Unless the opponent really relies solely on the right flank to organize the attack, they will usually choose to attack Milan's right flank against other teams."

Krudelli was absolutely right.

Redondo plus Maldini, that's the strongest side in the world.

No matter who Albertini adds, the defensive strength will be weaker than the other side, so it's normal for the opponent to make that choice.

Although Atletico Madrid failed to create any real threat this time, getting a corner kick was still a good result.

This was Atletico Madrid's best chance, with De Felix Griezmann positioned at the corner flag.

This full-back, who excels at crossing, had no other idea than to deliver a direct cross for his teammates to contest for a header.

After a run-up, he quickly launched the ball.

Maldini, positioned at the near post, was affected by Camino and jumped a little too early; the ball only flew over his head as he was falling.

At this moment, the ball began to drop, and Camino took the opportunity to duck and head the ball.

Buffon's attention was focused on the forward post, which was a very dangerous moment.

At the crucial moment, Baresi jumped to the side and blocked the ball with his chest.

Buffon displayed agility completely out of character for his size, quickly stepping past Baresi and extending his foot to block Simeone's follow-up shot, which hit the outside of his foot and bounced out of the penalty area.

Albertini was fouled by Camino, giving Milan a free kick in their own half.

"Thanks, Captain."

Buffon said with lingering fear.

"That's how it should be."

Baresi said.

Buffon pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

He knew Baresi's personality very well.

The two sides went to a stalemate again after the kickoff from the backcourt.

The referee's decisions still affected Milan's players.

The opponent's numerous dirty tricks, coupled with various fouls in the attacking third that disrupted counter-attacks, made it difficult for Milan to get into their familiar rhythm.

Atletico Madrid's fouls are very decisive; the first person to receive the ball is fouled directly, giving them no chance to pass the ball to the left wing.

Sacchi looked at the field with some concern and said, "Won't Dejan get injured if they keep playing like this?"

"Probably not, Dejan rarely gets injured."

Tardelli said uncertainly.

These words only exacerbated Sacchi's worries.

If Lu Deyang gets injured at this point in the game, then he really won't rely too much on anyone.

Damn it, without Lu Deyang, who can he bring on when the team is behind?
Should we replace him with Dejan Savicevic?

They really think that having Dejan's name will make them carry the whole game?

However, taking a one-goal lead isn't very secure.

Milan's schedule remains quite busy. If possible, Sacchi would like to take the lead away from home so that things can be easier when they return to their home ground, and he could even rotate some players to play a counter-attacking style.

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to replace him.

Atletico Madrid launched another attack, with Pantic and Beyber making consecutive one-two passes on the left wing.

Davis couldn't stop the two defenders in one-on-one, and Albertini quickly covered, but Beyber chose to pass back to Simeone.

Simeone received the ball and immediately lobbed it forward, sending it directly to the left flank of the attacking third.

Reizig was fast; he took the lead over Pantic as soon as he got going.

Pantic kept trying to get into position behind him with his hands, and Reizig, who was running at full speed, lost his balance, slipped and fell outside the penalty area.

Costacurta wanted to curse.

At this point, he couldn't immediately make up for it.

Pantic, who had the ball, flicked it with his right foot and dribbled into the penalty area. As Costacurta rushed past, he immediately made a cutback pass.

Fortunately, Albertini returned and made a sliding tackle from behind, successfully bringing the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

When Maldini turned and attempted a long pass, Camino jumped up and blocked the ball out of bounds with his body.

Paolo Maldini quickly threw the ball out of bounds, and Redondo turned and launched a long pass.

Van Basten charged to the landing point in the middle, but this time he was pushed back by the opponent.

Simeone was pressed by Totti when he got the ball.

Totti used both hands and feet this time, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Simeone deliberately lured Totti to raise his arm, intending to slap him across the face.

But the little prince has become quite clever lately; he pays more attention to the movement of the hand that is close to the other person's head, and subconsciously moves it away from the other person's head.

This way, you won't end up slapping the other person instead of faking an accident.

Unable to pass the ball out quickly, Simeone simply passed it across to the returning Gree, who tried to dribble forward on the right flank.

Lu Deyang slid in and successfully tackled the ball behind the opponent.

The ball has returned to Atletico Madrid's half.

Van Basten went to the wing to get the ball, but Juanma López forced him out of bounds. The referee did not call a foul, and Atlético Madrid had possession.

"The referee's standards were clearly biased towards the home team today."

"This isn't the first time; Atletico Madrid players have been using their bodies to commit fouls recklessly. I'm really worried about whether Milan players will get injured today."

During those ten minutes or so, players from both sides kept falling to the ground.

They either tackle someone or get knocked down.

Atletico Madrid will be relentlessly attacking Milan's right flank today.

Davis and Reiziger, two Dutchmen, were treated like pushovers.

Pantic brought the ball up again, and Davis immediately delivered a hard blow to him.

This time, they weren't aiming for the ball at all; they were going for the player.

The Serbian realized something was wrong and quickly jumped to the sideline, abandoning his dribble. The ball was then tackled out of bounds by Davis.

"Damn it, do you want to kill someone?"

Pantic steadied himself, turned around, and shoved Davis in the chest. The little prince, who had been holding back all day, was about to go up when Lu Deyang grabbed his arm and shoved him back. By the time Totti ran forward again, Lu Deyang had already reached the spot where the foul occurred.

"There was a standoff between the two teams. Davies' tackle was definitely aimed at the player, but Milan players have also been fouled quite a few times today. This is the result of accumulated anger."

"The referee is losing control of the game now because he keeps letting Atletico Madrid players run rampant, which has led to increasingly aggressive play from both sides."

"The camera focused on Simone. Diego Simone tried to sneak up on Reiziger from behind, but Dejan pushed him away. Redondo then confronted his compatriot. Simone looks fierce, but he's not as strong as Redondo. If the two of them were to fight, I think Redondo would have a higher chance of winning."

"The referee only warned Davis and gave Pantic a card. I think there was something wrong with his handling of the situation. Davis didn't commit a foul, but it should have been a dangerous move. Giving Davis a yellow card would have helped him control the game better."

"Krudelli said."

Despite being an unsuccessful product of AC Milan's youth academy, he plays a very tough style of football.

This commentator also had a very difficult life.

He lost both his parents at the age of 12 and was taken to Milan by his aunt to be raised. His 24-year-old cousin is a passionate Milan fan, and under his cousin's influence, he became a die-hard Milan supporter.

At 16, he applied to join Milan's youth team and actually passed the trial.

However, it's just that unfair; no matter how hard you work, you can't beat someone else's talent. After being loaned out to two clubs, he retired at the age of 20. 27 years ago, he began trying to continue working for his beloved Rossoneri in traditional media, becoming a freelance journalist for Sky Sports and the honorary deputy editor-in-chief of the Milan team magazine.

Although he's not a great football player, he has a good eye for talent.

This is the referee's best chance to bring the game back to a normal pace.

But the referee missed it.

Football referees have sufficient authority to officiate; controlling the game to a certain extent is more important than maintaining balance.

Krudelli continued, "If there are any more fouls, a large-scale conflict could break out between the two sides. Hopefully, not too many Milan players will be suspended."

That's what worries him the most.

Milan's winning streak is actually very dangerous.

While setting records, it also increases the psychological pressure on players.

Any slight setback could become a turning point for the team's season.

"Let's warm up our Yugoslavian winger."

"I've made up my mind," Saki said.

He wants to replace Lu Deyang with Savicevic.

Although it was a joke about replacing Dejan with Dejan, he didn't have any other better options.

The situation on the field remains very tense.

Lu Deyang was heavily guarded.

Caminero was practically glued to Lu Deyang.

The two goals made Atletico Madrid fear that Lu Deyan would score another one, so he simply completed a hat-trick.

With their attacks targeting Milan's right flank, Camino's side didn't need to do much in terms of attack.

In the 85th minute, Pantic dribbled the ball down the left flank.

Muniz moved forward ahead of time to protect Pantic and be ready to provide support at any moment.

Davis's actions made Pantic less willing to break through so recklessly. The Serbian dribbled the ball to the vicinity of the midfield line and immediately passed it across to Simeone.

Simeone tried to dribble forward, but Totti's dropping back and harassing him gave him little chance to get going, so Simeone could only pass to Defen Gri on the other side.

Van Basten has been out of the public eye for a long time.

But a top player is a top player, and this time he seized the opportunity and charged forward.

These were some of the few times Van Basten pressed hard today, but they threw Gree into a panic.

Defe Griezmann quickly ran towards the ball, but Van Basten was right next to him.

In the ensuing commotion, Gree's pass still headed towards the center, but Totti intercepted it first, stopping it with his chest in front of Simeone.

Simeone immediately tackled him.

Before falling, Totti passed the ball to the left wing with the inside of his foot.

Maldini, making a forward run, shook off Aguilera and quickly passed the ball to Redondo. Redondo, noticing that the opposing players had already tracked back, opted for a long pass to the left wing.

"The ball was passed to Dejan. Totti could have passed it to Dejan, but Simeone's foul caused Milan to miss their best counter-attack opportunity. After two passes, Atletico Madrid's defenders had already returned to their own half."

"Dejan dribbled down the right wing and accelerated past Camino. The central midfielder thought he could contain Dejan, but Dejan didn't need to use any feints to get past him."

Defe Glee kept backing away, his center of gravity low, inwardly cursing his unreliable teammates.

Even if you can only stall for a few seconds, it's still good; otherwise, you'll be overtaken in a single exchange.

Even when training a compass, it wouldn't be this absurd; people usually have to go around obstacles.

Lu Deyang, dribbling the ball near the sideline, kept flicking it with the outside of his right foot to keep it rolling low.

Gree's forehead was already sweating, and even his feet were unconsciously mimicking Lu Deyang's rhythm.

Fight and retreat.

The two players reached the side of the penalty area. Lu Deyang quickly swept his right foot across the ball, performed a half stepover, and then immediately ducked down.

Seeing this, Gree thought Lu Deyang was going to lie to Zhongxin again.

Unexpectedly, Lu Deyang took the opportunity to push with his right foot.

Snapped--

He really dribbled the ball forcefully past him and into the penalty area.

Juanma López quickly came up to help defend, and Gree also quickly turned around.

Two players sandwiched Lu Deyang, who had stepped onto the penalty area line, at the top corner of the penalty area.

Before Gree could figure out what to do next, he saw Lu Deyang already swing his right foot.

boom--

Without any warning, the ball flew in a not-so-exaggerated arc towards the far corner of the goal, but Molina, standing nearby, was out of reach. Even though he tried his best to jump sideways and stretch out his arms, he still couldn't touch the ball. The ball hit the crossbar, bounced onto the inside of the post, and went into the goal.

hat trick!

Totti immediately rushed towards Lu Deyang, opening his mouth wide and roaring wildly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one who scored the goal.

Lu Deyang, who had just opened his arms to celebrate, was immediately embraced by Totti.

The little prince immediately put his arm around Lu Deyang's shoulder and went to the home fans' stand together, where he waved his arms wildly at the stands.

This provocative action drew deafening boos from the Calderon Stadium once again.

"Deyang!"

"Deyang, still Deyang!"

"At crucial moments, we still have to look at Dejan's performance. It's hard for me to say that anyone else deserves credit for this goal. Perhaps Redondo's pass was part of the attack, but there was nothing particularly remarkable about it; he simply passed the ball over."

"But for Dejan, passing the ball was all he needed to do. First, he used his speed to get past Camino, then he used a feint to fool Defe Griezmann, and finally he simply stood on the wing of the penalty area and unleashed a world-class shot."

"The opponent's main purpose is to make Dejan's goals more exciting."

"The Atletico Madrid team that troubled Milan for half the game today was nothing compared to Dejan. Perhaps this is the difference between a superstar and an ordinary player. It shows us that even Ballon d'Or winners are not all the same. Whether it's Baggio from Italy or Van Basten from the Netherlands, their biggest contribution on the field is just to help Dejan get all eleven players on the field!"

Seeing this goal, Sacchi decided to wait a little longer.

He doesn't expect to score more goals.

However, by weakening your own offense, you not only reduce your own offensive opportunities, but also alleviate the pressure on your opponent.

Conversely, the opponent's attack can then commence.

That's why there are sayings in football like using offense to suppress opponents, and that the best defense is offense.

Regardless of the opponent, as long as Lu Deyang is on the field, Milan always has more attacks than their opponents, and by more than just a little.

Sacchi decided to hold on for the last few minutes.

If they score again, and we're three goals ahead, the outcome of the match will be decided in one leg.

Twelve-year-old Torres' eyes lit up in the stands; he couldn't be a caddie today because of a stomach flu.

He only joined Atlético Madrid's youth academy last year and has already scored 55 goals in just one year.

He recently turned down an offer from Real Madrid.

This kid, who lost two front teeth while playing goalkeeping and then switched to being a striker, has Lu Deyang's goals on his mind.

He was very fast, and he realized a problem a long time ago when he watched Lu Deyang play.

As long as you master high-speed change of direction, then whether you use those fancy and flashy dribbling moves or not won't have much of an impact.

Watching the game live today was exactly as he expected.

Lu Deyang is very skilled, and there are even techniques named after him, but he doesn't use too many tricks to get past opponents.

This gave Torres a lot of confidence.

He can score goals, but his footwork is stiffer than some agile players, and his technical moves are not as aesthetically pleasing as other kids.

Seeing the world's number one player play like this, Torres feels that there's nothing wrong with using fewer technical moves to dribble past opponents.

……

The score is 3-1, and the game is about to enter stoppage time.

It will be very difficult for Atletico Madrid to reverse the situation or equalize.

Today's game was basically a loss.

The Atletico Madrid players, who had played a good first half, were extremely unwilling to accept defeat.

Especially Esneijder, this former Real Madrid player is still thinking of humiliating his old club and showing Real Madrid that he can beat Milan.

Unexpectedly, Milan's squad was only at its full strength after the substitutions.

Esneijder seemed somewhat distracted as he kicked off again; he was already considering whether to have Argentine barbecue when he got home to console himself for the loss.

Camino received the ball and immediately passed it to the wing.

Aguilera showed no intention of advancing and passed the ball back to Defe Griezmann.

Gree tried to chip the ball directly to Esneijder, but the Argentine striker made a basic mistake when receiving the ball, directly passing it to Redondo.

Faced with this unexpected gift, Redondo turned sideways and delivered a low, powerful kick, easily finding Lu Deyang in front of the center line.

Lu Deyang got rid of Caminero as soon as he started.

Having anticipated this, Simone was already waiting on the wing. He simply grabbed Lu Deyang with both hands and tackled him to the ground.

This action is like firing the starting gun.

The players from both sides rushed towards the spot of the foul almost simultaneously.

Camino reacted quickly, immediately pulling Simeone behind him, fearing that his teammate might be at a disadvantage.

Redondo, who had long wanted to teach Simeone a lesson, shoved Camino repeatedly, but still couldn't find an opportunity to directly confront Simeone.

Van Basten doesn't want to fight. He's about to retire, and if he gets injured and the season ends early, he'll be really frustrated.

But at this point, we have no choice but to go for it.

Standing at 1.9 meters tall, he exudes a powerful aura.

A serious standoff ensued between the two teams' players.

Fans at the Calderon Stadium were also jeering.

Just as Lu Deyang was about to get up, he saw the little prince open his mouth and spit a mouthful of phlegm onto Simone's face.

It has to be you!
Totti really likes using this weapon.

Since that's the case, we must put pressure on Atletico Madrid and help Totti share the burden.

Lu Deyang changed his mind, his body gradually curling up into a ball, covering his ankles and pressing his forehead hard against the grass...
