"Marco, what's going on?"

"Who is that girl?"

"Your boy actually found a girlfriend?"

"..."

The teammates were all asking questions and completely forgot to celebrate.

Mainly because it was too shocking.

Everyone thought that Lanna had no hope in this life, but suddenly a girl appeared and seemed to take the initiative to approach him.

"Did you give her your credit card?"

Roberto Mancini asked suspiciously.

Lanna immediately turned black.

I knew it would be like this.

Originally he wanted to get angry, but thinking about it, he couldn't blame others for calling him.

Are you angry with your teammates?

Then the situation in the team will be even worse.

Seeing Dejan Lu smiling and nodding at him, Lanna also forced a smile.

"We see that the Sampdoria team is very united. Everyone is celebrating the goal of Dejan Lu. The football is black and white, half a dream and half a destiny. But because the ball is round, the most important thing is unity. Eleven people become a team. Without unity, dreams will be shattered, and destiny will not be the scene you want to see."

"In just a few minutes of the opening, Dejan Lu successfully broke through the goal of team Red Star Belgrade, but this is only the beginning of the entire game. Next, the Red Star team will definitely strengthen their defense against Dejan Lu. After all, he is Sampdoria and they will not sit still and wait for death."

"The one who appears in the camera now is Cobra Pančev. He scored 22 goals in 35 games last season. His strength cannot be underestimated. Pančev seems to be a little dissatisfied with the defensive players conceding the ball so quickly and is motivating his teammates."

Straightforward and full of enthusiasm.

This is the characteristic of Song Shixiong's commentary.

He once commented on World Cup alone, and also commented on countless sports competitions, from football to volleyball, table tennis to Go.

It can be said that his voice can be heard in almost every game in this era, no matter what project you are in.

"Okay, let's adjust our mentality and stop paying attention to Marco's feelings."

Dejan Lu waved his hand and said, "Red Star is not an easy team to beat."

These days Cruyff and Barca may not be as strong as the current Red Star. Judging from the starting lineup, Miha must be injured and not play. This is not the strongest Red Star.

Anyone pulled out of the midfield is a free kick master, plus Miha's unsolvable free kick.

It's scary to think about it. You're not allowed to fight when you're taking the penalty?

In terms of free kicks, Red Star is bigger than Samp, and it is completely an enhanced version.

Boskov nodded with satisfaction when he saw the scene on the field.

He is most afraid of players being careless.

This Red Star team can be said to have the ability to pass the ball to the goal.

No matter how good your defender is, if people repeatedly pass the ball to mobilize your movement, and when you are slightly open, a through ball will hit you, no defender can guard against this.

While waiting for kick-off, Prosinečki couldn't help but look towards the opponent's half.

As a talented player, he has always wanted to play for a super giant in Europe. Someone in the team is already preparing to go to Marseille, who is called Three Musketeers together with Savićević and Pančev. His first goal is Real Madrid.

Someone rejected Real Madrid's invitation, and when he heard about it, he thought it was fake news.

But it really happened.

It's the Number Seven just today.

I have to say that the young winger is indeed very talented.

No wonder Real Madrid wants him.

Prosinečki licked his lips.

If he can lead the team to defeat Sampdoria, maybe Real Madrid will notice his existence.

Pančev kicked the ball back, Prosinečki immediately passed the ball across, Savićević knocked back to Joković, Joković took advantage of the situation and passed it to Marović on the left.

Marović started to break forward from the left.

Stošić started to push forward crazily, and the two people rushed wildly on the left.

Lombardo rushed towards him immediately, but was unexpectedly knocked away by Marović while running.

Oh shit.

Pari cursed and prepared to go up to fill the position, but was surprised to find that the Red Star midfielder had been wandering near the wing waiting for support.

And there are two connection points!

As long as he goes up to press, he will be passed by easily.

Pari gestured to Dossena, telling him to keep an eye on it, and then rushed towards Marović.

Marović wanted to pass forward but found that Pari had blocked this point. The teammates in the middle were also guarded and had no choice but to pass back.

Belodedić caught the ball and began to control the rhythm again.

Red Star didn't play in a hurry.

"Gianluca, go up and bite him."

Roberto Mancini waved and shouted.

"What about you?"

Vialli asked.

"I was in the back to prevent him from passing the ball."

Roberto Mancini said.

Vialli gestured with his middle finger and rushed forward.

Belodedić quickly knocked the ball horizontally, and Vujović took the ball and passed it straight to the face.

Joković takes the ball and advances in the middle immediately after receiving the ball.

Even as a defensive midfielder, he has good ball-holding ability.

Dejan Lu, who had just returned to halftime, was not in a hurry. He had a feeling that today would be a tough battle.

On the defensive end, he was ready to give up and rely entirely on his teammates to sustain him.

Because of Red Star's very patient and technical style, Sampdoria has never encountered it, and everyone is not used to it today.

Finally, we have to look at Dejan the Football King.

He didn't care at all when he scored a goal, and the game was still long after two rounds.

If I must say it, the current situation of the team is similar to when Manchester United met Dream Team III.

Both sides definitely have the strength, but Manchester United has not found a way to play Dream Team III at all.

Red Star's patient control of the ball is hard not to remind him of the team led by Xavi and Iniesta.

It's almost two minutes, and the Red Star has not passed the ball across the half court. Instead, the back line is pressing forward to help teammates complete the ball control.

Dejan Lu spotted the opportunity and rushed directly towards Savićević.

Savićević, who had just caught the ball, immediately took advantage of the situation and hit it horizontally.

Dossena, who had been waiting for a long time, stopped the ball immediately. Binić wanted to reach out and pull, but Dossena turned around and got stuck behind him.

Dossena took the ball and immediately passed it diagonally. Dejan Lu received the ball and rushed forward immediately.

Savićević directly chooses to pursue.

One ran and the other chased, and the Red Star team's focus was also shifting to the left.

In order to prevent Dejan Lu from directly cutting inside and approaching the penalty area, Joković and Radinović simply ran to the front of the penalty area, preparing to complete the encirclement with Savićević.

Dejan Lu, who was carrying the ball, did not retreat but advanced directly towards the two people waiting there.

Joković came forward and fought with his body. Dejan Lu quickly jumped up slightly to relieve his force to prevent being hit.

The ball was out of his control.

Radinović felt happy.

At this time, Joković stretched out his right foot and poked. The ball hit Radinović's leg and bounced back quickly.

Dejan Lu took the opportunity to get the ball again, this time with three people chasing after him.

A few steps later, Dejan Lu suddenly rushed to the ball and stopped it with his heel. The three chasing players could only make an emergency stop.

Without waiting for them to adjust, Dejan Lu turned around and took the ball from the center to the left.

The three players were like bees smelling honey and kept chasing.

Dejan Lu made another sudden stop and pretended to spike the ball with his left foot. Once again, he deceived the center of gravity of the three people and rushed directly into the penalty area with the ball.

Ferraris Stadium has turned into a sea of joy.

Cheers came and went.

Vujović saw the right opportunity and fell to the ground with a sliding tackle. Dejan Lu, who had just entered the penalty area, could only give up and jump up with the ball.

Stojanović, who rushed out of the goal line, immediately fell to the ground and held the ball under him.

"Damn it, put some pressure on your opponent!"

Boskov stood on the sidelines and cursed, "If you all just stand there waiting for the ball, you might as well let Dejan play the game by yourself, and then give your wages to Dejan."

This time Dejan Lu kept changing directions with the ball, and his teammates didn't know how to respond.

This makes Boskov very dissatisfied.

His tactics are already quite simple, but the players still can't do it well.

Just pass the ball to Dejan Lu, and then cooperate with Dejan Lu to attack.

"Coach, I think I'm better when I play. No one understands Dejan better than me." Chiesa ran to the sidelines and said.

"You don't need to think about it, I think about it." Boskov said subconsciously, and then he noticed that it was Chiesa.

Chiesa and Dejan Lu played together once and scored goals in key games. Maybe they can still make achievements today.

Boskov waved his hand for him to sit back, but he lowered his chin and thought about the feasibility of this matter.

However, it seems that Chiesa can't restrict the opponent when he plays. If you want to strengthen the defense on the wing, it is better to let Dossena play on the wing and replace it with a midfielder.

In the 20th minute, Dragisa Binić took the ball on the right and took the initiative to find Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu glanced at the opponent and confirmed that the opponent wanted to fight him one-on-one.

Sometimes it's not good for someone to be too famous. People in the socialist camp want to test your talent.

From the perspective of dribbling the ball, Binić is a typical right-footed right-footer, and Dejan Lu directly chose to attack.

Because he knows that Lanna will definitely come up.

Binić, who was holding the ball, moved his right foot but found that Dejan Lu was sideways guarding him from walking in the middle. Binić deliberately raised his right foot to signal that he would forcefully walk in the middle.

Dejan Lu "Sure enough, he was fooled" and moved out of the way.

Binić hurriedly walked forward along the sideline. Before he could be happy, Lanna kicked the ball hard and knocked it down behind him.

Dejan Lu immediately took the ball and rushed forward without forgetting to glance back.

What's wrong with the poor defense?

There's someone behind me.

He has used this trick many times.

Every time the opponent comes to me with the ball, I will be particularly focused.

I want to get ahead of Dejan the Football King and show off.

Dejan Lu immediately signaled Lanna with his hands behind his back, and directly let him shovel, using each one accurately.

Just past midfield, Savićević immediately made a sliding tackle.

After Dejan Lu barely skipped over, Joković had already found him. Today, Belgrade really didn't relax his defense at all.

It didn't start at this time. Dejan Lu just shook his left foot slightly, staring at Joković who was holding the center of gravity, waiting for a flaw.

Joković had no intention of taking the initiative. Dejan Lu pushed the ball forward with his left foot.

Xiao Suibu kept pushing the ball with his left foot, approaching Joković little by little, creating pressure on his opponent.

The distance between the two people is getting closer and closer, and Joković doesn't take the initiative to stretch his legs.

At this time, Dejan Lu tapped his left foot and shook his shoulder, pretending to go to the middle, but he knocked the ball hard with the instep of his outside foot.

Joković, who had already given up his center of gravity, could no longer keep up when he tried to catch up. He simply gave up and stood where he was, looking back to see Dejan Lu dribbling the ball to the ground.

Radinović's defense was very fast, and his legs were so short that he soared very fast.

Seeing the baseline getting closer, Radinović directly stretched out his left foot to try to block the pass.

Bang——

Dejan Lu's pass went very high. The ball flew past the goal and dropped to the right side of the penalty area. Roberto Mancini went up to fight for the top and was hit by Belodedić instantly.

The physical conditions of the two people are not at the same level.

Roberto Mancini, who was sitting on the ground, turned around and spread his hands towards Dejan Lu. Are you asking me to compete with this kind of person?

Dejan Lu smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Just because the opponent's defender is tall, you can't never cross.

A few minutes later Samp attacked again.

Dejan Lu pushed forward without the ball on the left, and Binić kept chasing.

That's how strong the defense is.

Pari saw the opponent's defensive focus and decisively passed it to the right. Lombardo immediately jumped over Marović's feet and passed the ball.

Vialli's header in the penalty area was somewhat positive, and Stojanović, who was attacked, hit the ball with a single punch.

Red Star finally showed their counterattack speed. Joković turned around and found Savićević with one kick.

Binić, who was following Dejan Lu just now, was already rushing towards Samp's penalty area. Pančev couldn't even run as fast as him.

Savićević dribbled the ball past the midfield and immediately passed the ball with his right foot. The ball passed between Carboni and Lanna and easily found Binić. Binić hit the goal directly from the right side of the penalty area, but was blocked by Pagliuca sideways.

"This is the first corner kick between the two sides in the first half. Red Star Belgrade's players are taller. They want to use their aerial advantage to score."

"Players from both sides were fighting for each other in the penalty area, and the referee had to come up and warn them to reduce their small moves."

Prosinečki kicked the ball out after a run-up. Belodedić successfully grabbed the first header and attacked the goal. Verchowod failed to provoke it. Fortunately, Carboni stretched out his foot to block the ball at the critical moment, and the ball fell to the right side of the small penalty area.

Seeing this, Joković rushed forward and swung his right foot, but Dossena reached out his foot to hook the ball first, allowing Joković to miss the ball.

The Red Star midfielder fell directly in the penalty area and rolled with his thighs. Dossena, who wanted to pass the ball, simply kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Anyone who has played football knows that it is easy to get injured if you kick the ball too hard.

This is because the knee is too far forward due to the loss of the force bearing point, which often leads to an ACL injury.

Players from both sides were waiting nearby, and Red Star Belgrade's team medical team trotted onto the field with a medical kit.

Dejan Lu took the opportunity to walk to the sidelines and picked up the kettle. He squeezed the kettle and poured water into his mouth before spitting it out. He repeated this twice before throwing the kettle aside.

"I feel like the middle lane wasn't very easy to play today."

Roberto Mancini came over and said.

"Yes." Dejan Lu nodded.

He made several passes because the opponent's defense in the center was too tight.

Joković is not a simple defensive midfielder. He also has strong offensive ability and can easily complete the transition between offense and defense.

So when facing an offensive player, he can easily use his own thinking to see through the offensive player's thoughts.

Dejan Lu couldn't help but sigh that this issue Belgrade is really all over the world. It would be strange if a group of players who can play core roles in a wealthy team are put together. It would be strange if they are easy to deal with.

"Should we play more wide?"

Roberto Mancini asked, covering his mouth.

"It's okay if you don't cover your mouth. They can't understand Italian language." Dejan Lu complained.

He just discovered that Belodedić is right-footed, but has the same inverted foot as Dejan the Football King, and his reaction speed is very fast.

The partnership with Golan Vujović is also considered to be one high and one fast.

"I mean what should we do? We have to score more goals to ensure we can win."

Roberto Mancini asked.

"It's okay. At least we are ahead and can play slowly."

Dejan Lu reassured. "It's them who should be worried at this time, not us."

I'm used to it in Serie A, and Roberto Mancini starts to get anxious when the situation goes slightly wrong.

This mentality is not good.

Once you play more Champions League football, you won't be so nervous anymore.

After a short period of treatment, Joković successfully stood up again without any problems.

Judging from the situation, there should be no injuries.

Savićević directly threw the foul ball back to Samp.

Lanna picked up the ball and without thinking, he swung his left foot and passed the ball to the ground.

Verchowod, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at Lanna with some disappointment. Why didn't he shout anything this time?

Dejan Lu turned his back and raised his right foot. When the ball rolled past his feet, he rubbed it with his feet and easily stopped the ball at his feet.

Binić was already standing in front of him. He glanced at the position of his teammates and Dejan Lu chose to continue cycling.

Both feet continue to move quickly across the ball, giving the center some opportunities to move forward.

Feeling the pressure, Binić stretched out his foot to grab the ball. Dejan Lu immediately stepped on the ball with the toes of his right foot and swung the ball from behind to the left. He pushed forward with his left foot, allowing Binić to miss the ball and easily throw away the opponent and break through along the sideline.

Joković quickly came over to cover again.

Dejan Lu was not in a hurry and turned around as soon as the inner instep of his left foot knocked.

Joković quickly stopped and stretched his legs to prevent Dejan Lu from walking in the middle. But Dejan Lu smashed the ball forward with his right foot again, and once again broke through along the wing, with no intention of going to the center.

Joković, who was a little embarrassed, stood firm on his hands and feet and stuck to him again. Dejan Lu, who got the ball, stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled back, then leaned on the opponent and turned around.

This time he really dribbled the ball towards the center.

Prosinečki, who was running back, saw this and went straight to grab the ball. Dejan Lu once again pulled the ball and turned around in a circle. A little anxious, Prosinečki simply fell to the ground and tackled the ball.

He tackled Dejan Lu's feet directly, and Dejan Lu's feet knocked the ball away.

Hiss——

Dejan Lu, who jumped on one leg, ran behind the ball and saw Prosinečki, who had gotten up, rushing forward.

He just dunked lightly to avoid the opponent's senseless attack, but after taking two steps, Vujović fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle. Dejan Lu, whose left foot had not fully recovered, hit the opponent's leg and fell in front of the penalty area.

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

Roberto Mancini immediately rushed forward and stretched out his hand to push Vujović's face. Vujović was a little shorter than him, but had a longer wingspan. He stretched out his hand to hold Roberto Mancini's shoulder, making Roberto Mancini's hand empty.

"Don't be impulsive, take a look at Dejan first."

Vialli quickly stopped Roberto Mancini and said.

In the recent season, Roberto Mancini has become even more violent than before.

Beep——

The referee's whistle also sounded at this time, but it was not directed at the Red Star players, but to warn Roberto Mancini. The referee pointed at him and said, "Control your emotions, if you don't want to get a card."

Roberto Mancini walked towards the spot of the foul somewhat unconvinced, muttering, "This guy is no good at all, aren't they very good at blowing whistles?"

"I can't give you Sørensen."

Dejan Lu took Joković's hand and stood up, complaining.

At this time, the referees in Northern Europe and Eastern Europe were basically not very fair.

Eight years ago, Yugoslavia took the lead, and Sørensen started to perform. First, he fell to the ground outside the penalty area and called a penalty kick. When the penalty kick was saved, he said he moved in advance. He did not stop until Spain scored the ball.

Soviet Union suffered a miscarriage of justice in the summer.

No wonder Roberto Mancini couldn't help complaining about the referee for not taking care of Samp.

In this era, football referees are indeed more focused on Eastern European teams.

"Are you okay?"

Roberto Mancini asked as they walked back.

"There was no problem. The main reason was that I didn't avoid the second tackle because I was tackled first. I chose to rush forward to avoid injury."

Dejan Lu said.

There is definitely no way to recover immediately after being kicked hard.

"It's just a matter of liking the ball. I used to get tackled a lot when I took the ball." Roberto Mancini said.

"You can run ten meters with the ball, which is already pretty good."

Vialli ran over and complained.

Dejan Lu is a person who can dribble the ball from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area.

"I'm a striker, a striker!"

Roberto Mancini shouted unwillingly.

"Then you can learn from watching Baggio play football." Vialli mocked.

Roberto Mancini immediately bent over, preparing to take off his shoes and slap Vialli in the face with his spikes, but unfortunately the referee was nearby and he had no choice but to give up.

The Red Star team chose to attack suddenly in the backcourt.

Joković received a pass from the defender and suddenly swung his right foot more than 70 meters away from the Sampdore penalty area. The pass fell directly in front of the penalty area. Pančev used his chest to push the ball towards the penalty area and quickly moved forward.

Carboni kept harassing him from behind, but Pagliuca simply chose to attack.

Pančev, who was moving at high speed, could not change direction at all. Pagliuca fell to the ground in the penalty area and successfully tackled the ball away. The ball hit Carboni's calf and bounced toward the baseline.

Pančev, who fell to the ground, raised his hands and shouted, "This is a penalty kick, referee."

Portugal The referee ran over and shook his finger and said, "It's not a penalty kick, it's a corner kick."

Pančev spread his hands with some dissatisfaction and did not get up.

Or Savićević went up to pull him up and asked him to quickly prepare for the corner kick.

"The first half of the game is coming to an end. Dejan Lu also returned to the penalty area to participate in defense this time. The corner kick was taken, which was specifically for Dejan Lu, but Dejan Lu's jumping ability was very good, and he successfully pushed the ball out from the front. Stošić got the ball, and Mannini went up and kicked Stošić's foot."

"The referee gave a free kick. There is no controversy about this penalty. The location of the foul was near the left side of the penalty area. The player who came up to take the penalty was Number Seven Prosinečki. He ran and the ball went in. The ball directly hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal. This position is very tricky. At the end of the first half, the Red Star Belgrade team equalized the score."

"The referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and the players from both teams walked to the locker room. After a short break, the second half will begin. Now we see the head coach of the Sampdoria team, Vujadin·Boskov. He handed Dejan Lu a water bottle and asked Dejan Lu to replenish water. This coach is also from Yugoslavia."

In the home locker room.

The atmosphere was a little more serious than usual.

Mainly because this opponent's playing style is unfamiliar to Samp.

After Boskov entered the locker room, he smiled and clapped his hands and said, "I'm still glad that you guys have realized your shortcomings. When we won the Triple Crown before, you always felt that we were No. 1 in the world. You won't play against Red Star Belgrade today, right?"

"Man, they're passing the ball too much, they're passing the ball all the time."

Pari complained.

"This is football. Has anyone stipulated that passing the ball is not allowed?" Boskov asked with a smile.

Seeing that no one was talking, Boskov continued, "Actually, when we were in the lead, we could have kept counterattacking, but because you thought you were the Triple Crown champion, you frequently pressed out to give them opportunities. I am surprised that it is only 1:1 now. In the second half, our tactics were simpler, which was to use defense to wear down the opponent as much as possible, and then find opportunities to hand the ball to Dejan."

"It's really a special tactic."

Verchowod couldn't help but smile and said.

This was probably the tactical instruction he heard the most last season.

"It's useful, isn't it?"

Boskov said with a smile, "We strengthened our defense in the second half, Attilio·Lombardo will be replaced early."

Lombardo nodded.

Vialli patted Lombardo to signal him not to pay attention. This was the tactical arrangement.

Before they transferred to Sampdoria, both of them played football at Cremonese.

"Fernando, warm up directly in the second half and prepare to play."

Boskov said again.

Redondo pointed at himself in surprise. He did not expect that his debut would be on such an important occasion in the Champions League.

Boskov nodded and said, "Give them some pressure after we go up. The Red Star offensive players have too little pressure."

"Okay, coach!"

Redondo nodded fiercely and said.

Isn't it just to put pressure? Who in the Argentina League doesn't know how good he is?

"Not bad, boy."

Pari said with a smile, "It will be my debut so soon."

They are both midfielders and often have the opportunity to play together during training in the team.

Redondo smiled and nodded.

When he first arrived at the team, he was still a little defensive, fearing that someone would cause trouble.

But after more than a month passed, he discovered that Samp's situation was completely different from that of Argentina, and the veteran players had no airs.

It seems that there is only one full-back named Marco·Lanna in the team who is not liked by everyone.

"We won't be able to win today, right?"

Mannini whispered.

As a full-back, he was a little tired facing the opponent's impact.

These Balkans people are really flexible under their feet.

"How is it possible? Anyway, Dejan will definitely take care of everything in the end."

Roberto Mancini put his arm around Dejan Lu's shoulders and said.

No one in the locker room objected.

Because in the strong dialogue, Dejan Lu's performance is indeed trustworthy.

If the opponent is free, he can run long distances.

If the opponent sets up a bus, he can find opportunities to shoot from long range.

If the opponent doesn't give him a chance, he can score directly with a free kick.

It's like there's nothing he can't do.

"Hey, every time we rely on Dejan at critical moments, the media said that Dejan has brought us to a higher level." Pagliuca sighed.

"Isn't this the truth?"

Verchowod said with a smile.

After reaching the finals of Cup Winners' Cup for two consecutive seasons, it feels like there is a huge difference between Dejan Lu and Dejan Lu.

"Tell them to shut up next time, we never rely too much on any one person."

Roberto Mancini said.

"Yes, yes, let's just say it. Roberto, you are so good at talking. After you retire, you should become a coach." Vialli mocked.

"If I were the first coach, I would let you sit on the bench. Then you and Francesco·Totti will sit on the bench and eat peanuts." Roberto Mancini said fiercely.

Francesco is the name he hates most now.

Totti is already synonymous with disgust.

Seeing such an atmosphere, Boskov breathed a sigh of relief.

The self-regulation ability in the locker room is really good, so you don't have to worry about these kids being nervous.

"Okay kids, it's time to show up."

Pezzotti clapped his hands and reminded.

He has always been a very good deputy and later served as an assistant coach for Capello.

"Okay, Narciso."

The players stood up one after another, and some high-fived Pezzotti before walking out of the locker room.

This good old man has always been very popular.

"Have you ever thought about coaching a team by yourself in the future?" Boskov asked with a smile.

Pezzotti looked at his unconscious left fist and shook his head like a rattle, fearing that Boskov would blow his head off with one punch.

"The players from both sides returned to the court again, and this time the two sides exchanged venues. In the second half, the Red Star Belgrade team kicked off, and Pančev chose to pass back."

"It was given to the left wing. Prosinečki quickly dribbled the ball. He took the ball and hit the center with a long shot! Sampdoria goalkeeper Pagliuca saved the ball from the bottom line. This time the Red Star team wanted to catch Samp by surprise at the beginning of the second half and created a corner kick."

"Prosinečki still took the corner kick and drove the ball towards the penalty area after running up. Sampdoria's defense core Verchowod bounced well, but his height was a weakness. He still suffered a disadvantage when facing tall opponents. Carboni appeared at the edge of the goal post again to block this. The next header hit the goal, and Savićević's follow-up shot hit Dossena... We saw a player warming up on the sidelines. This was Argentina, the midfielder Fernando·Redondo, who had just transferred to Sampdoria in the summer."

The ball bounced out of the penalty area, and Dossena turned around and made a clearance without even thinking about it.

This kick rubbed the bottom of the ball, and the ball flew high but did not fly very far.

Roberto Mancini saw this and was waiting on the spot. When he saw Dejan Lu advancing, he raised his right foot sideways and tapped the ball under the ball with his outer instep.

Snap——

Dejan Lu, who rushed up, directly raised his left leg, used his thigh to lift the ball, and rushed forward with the ball.

Crazy!!!

"Dejan!!!!!"

Ferraris Stadium is going crazy.

What did they see?

Dejan Lu didn't let the ball fall at all. His thigh, thigh, left foot, calf, thigh... he just kept bumping the ball with all parts of his body while running, without letting the ball touch the turf at all.

This exaggerated combination of ball feel and human ball made even the Red Star players chasing after them widen their eyes.

In Balkans, which is full of talented people and is known as White Brazil, they rarely see such outrageous situations.

This is the Champions League. Are you just showing off your talent in front of them like this?

Savićević, who ran back, swirled his tongue around the inside of his mouth, grinning to show his mood.

As one of Three Musketeers, he has always felt that he and his teammates are the top players, at least in this era, and Dutch Trio is just about the same as them.

But when he saw Dejan Lu running over 40 meters with the ball in an exaggerated manner, he couldn't help but take a breath.

Everyone's fucking name is Dejan, why are you, Dejan, so fierce?

Dejan·Savićević is convinced.

He couldn't catch up, so he could only hope that his teammates who were returning to defense would destroy the attack as soon as possible.

Joković ran back as if he was dead. He turned around and rushed towards Dejan Lu without any hesitation, and ran into him without even thinking about how to steal it.

Snap——

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the opponent's purpose. Dejan Lu chose to hit the ball with his knee this time. The ball flew up significantly higher than before.

He took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, avoiding the bull-like Joković, and charged forward again.

Already reaching the vicinity of the penalty area, Dejan Lu did not continue to bump the ball, but chose to straighten his chest and smooth the ball to his feet.

After such an interruption by Joković, the Red Star defenders had all returned to the area near the penalty area.

There were as many as 7 players from both sides standing in the penalty area.

Radinović didn't dare to rush forward rashly. He just bent down slightly and pressed his center of gravity, waiting for Dejan Lu to bring the ball to him.

There is no noise at the stadium with a capacity of more than 30,000 people.

Fans on both sides are wondering how this talent can bring closure to this offense.

Dejan Lu dribbles the ball forward in small steps.

This put Radinović under tremendous pressure. He kept looking back, trying to find the route Dejan Lu was preparing to pass.

But at this moment, Dejan Lu's left foot swung out.

It's at this location, on the side of the top corner of the penalty area.

Bang——

The crisp sound reached Radinović's ears. The fast full-back immediately looked up and saw the ball flying high, as if it had turned into the brightest star in the night sky.

However, the flight process did not last long. As soon as it entered the small penalty area, the ball began to fall, falling from the side toward the goal.

Players on both sides are rushing forward with the ball, trying to get the first landing spot.

At this time, Red Star goalkeeper Stojanović cursed fiercely and immediately kicked off his right foot and flew towards the right side of the goal.

Something's wrong!

He felt like the ball was a shot.

But it's too late.

The ball flew right in front of his eyes, crossed the goal line and hit the bottom of the net on the right side, completely confirming his suspicion.

The Red Star goalkeeper who fell to the ground stared at the ball, as if he could change the result with his thoughts.

He couldn't understand at all, how could that person dare?

He just lobbed the goal directly from the wing, drawing such a perfect arc. In the end, the ball landed there and passed through the net to completely unload the force, without bouncing up again at all.

It all feels fake.

At least in his career, he has never seen such a goal.

Astonishing skills!

Ferraris Stadium, who had been silent for a moment, completely burst out with volcanic enthusiasm.

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan!!!"

The Sampdoria players also went crazy, rushing towards Dejan Lu one after another.

Some wanted to hug him, while others simply pounced on him.

It's crazy.

They just wanted to vent their excitement and say something like awesome, really awesome to the hero of the goal.

Dejan·Savićević, who returned to the half court, stood there with his hands on his hips and kept shaking his head.

This time he finally believed that there are still more powerful talents in European football.

At least this Number Seven is more talented than their Three Musketeers.

As a talented player, he knows very well that such imaginative and creative goals require strong skills and ball sense to support him in order to complete the dribbling from the backcourt to the frontcourt and score directly from the side of the penalty area.

Looking at Dejan Lu surrounded by teammates.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up, I Dejan·Savićević would like to call you the strongest Dejan.
