"Hey, you stay up so late at night, do you have any sense of justice?"
Roberto Mancini knocked on the wall and shouted.
Because his parents and mother-in-law had to take care of Federica and their children, it was not very convenient to get to the team there, so he could finally be alone for a few days.
But he apparently forgot that his neighbors would often stay up late.
The sound of knocking on the wall changed from one after another to continuous.
Roberto Mancini really, really doubts whether Dejan Lu did it intentionally to save face.
Hey, young people just love face.
I think he also told Vialli that he was Apennines's number one hunk.
Later he discovered that no matter how fierce a striker is, he cannot compare to a housewife.
Federica must be more energetic at night because of lack of labor.
Since I couldn't fall asleep anyway, Roberto Mancini turned on the tape recorder and started listening to the night radio station.
"A fan called just now and said that every time he goes to Sampdoria's training base to get an autograph, he can't get through..." the host said with a smile, "It does take a bit of luck to get Dejan's autograph. After an incident where a fan lost control, Dejan rarely stops."
"Let's answer the call from the next friend... This friend said that he is a musician and composed a song for Dejan. Let's enjoy it together."
The host said with some expectation.
Roberto Mancini is also waiting to hear it.
"Heil Dejan..."
The beginning of the German language made the host cough immediately, cut off the call directly and said, "This friend may not be ready. As an emotional show, we still try to talk about some emotional things."
Roberto Mancini curled his lips.
He thought it was a football program before and kept mentioning Dejan Lu.
But he soon discovered that the names Marco·Lanna were mentioned quite a lot.
"I have a friend who looks a lot like Lanna. How should I persuade him..."
"There's something wrong with my girlfriend. I don't want to be the next Marco·Lanna..."
"..."
Roberto Mancini feels that Lanna is a bit pitiful.
What a star of hope, the next captain.
Just being a local player is enough to make him the most popular player second only to Dejan Lu. With such good conditions, he suddenly turned himself into a joke.
He even heard that the club deducted part of Lanna's contract extension to help him deposit the money for a fixed term. The deposit certificate was in Mantovani's hands, just for fear that he would be defrauded of all the money again.
Roberto Mancini, who felt that the program was quite interesting, grabbed the phone, took a look at it, and then put it down.
He saw in the movie that the caller could be found through the phone.
Roberto Mancini called him directly with his mobile phone. After calling for 5 minutes, he got through and told him to wait for a while.
On the radio, he could hear a middle-aged woman complaining that her child was becoming more and more rebellious and that she was going to become a grandmother early.
Roberto Mancini curled his lips and muttered, "So you have to take care of your children..."
"My friend, what is your name?"
At this time, the host's voice came from the microphone.
"Ma...Marco, my name is Marco·Totti."
Roberto Mancini silently gave himself a thumbs up.
He almost said his name without noticing.
"Okay, Marco, what kind of emotional troubles do you have?" the host asked in a magnetic voice.
Roberto Mancini couldn't help complaining that none of these guys with nice voices are handsome.
Mainly because the other party's voice is so nice.
"I, ah, I have a friend. He lives in an apartment with me, but sometimes he brings his girlfriend home..." Roberto Mancini said.
"Did it disturb your rest?" the host asked.
"Yes, they are very noisy. The most important thing is that the guy often knocks on the wall with his hand just to save face." Roberto Mancini complained.
"This is really too much, but are you sure you're knocking on the wall?"
The host said, "If knocking on the wall will also affect his girlfriend's rest, I think this is unlikely. Maybe he is really good at this."
"No way, it's already past 3 o'clock!!!"
Roberto Mancini shouted and hung up the phone directly.
Damn, what an emotional show.
After making a phone call, he felt even more unhappy.
Roberto Mancini stood up and punched the wall behind him more than a dozen times before he couldn't help but wailed.
The team's cafeteria.
"Roberto, why are your hands swollen?"
Vialli asked after sitting down with a dinner plate.
Roberto Mancini's right hand is obviously larger than one circle.
"It's okay, I've been practicing boxing recently." Roberto Mancini said in a low voice.
Vialli looked at Roberto Mancini suspiciously and said, "It always feels like that's not the case. You know, we are best friends. You can tell me anything."
Roberto Mancini rolled his eyes fiercely.
Telling him is equivalent to telling the whole team, and the entire Genoa city knows about it.
Redondo I quickly finished my meal and started eating pasta.
This is Argentina's dessert, a fruit cake.
"Be careful of eating so many sweets and become like Roberto." Vialli reminded.
"It's okay." Redondo grinned and said, "I exercise a lot, so there should be no problem."
Seeing that Dejan Lu had also finished eating, Roberto Mancini said cautiously, "Did you notice that the boss didn't come this morning? I heard that something happened to him. He seems to be quite young."
"Could it be that he was captured by Yugoslavia?"
Vialli joked.
"Yes, that's right!"
A voice came from behind.
Vialli turned around and was almost scared to death, and said with a dry smile, "Boss, boss, I was joking."
"It's okay, Paolo is looking for Dejan."
Boskov said.
"You go first Dejan, I will collect the dinner plates for you later." Redondo said.
Dejan Lu got up and followed Boskov towards the office building.
"Genoa people came to the door." Boskov said.
"Genoa, team?"
Dejan Lu asked after a short pause.
"Well, they want to set up a company with Paolo and acquire Ferraris Stadium from the city hall." Boskov said.
Dejan Lu roughly understands what it is.
Although Ferraris Stadium was built by Genoa.
But when there was no money, it was sold to the city hall.
Recently, there has been a surge in tourists due to Dejan the Football King.
Tourists who cannot buy Sampdoria tickets will watch the Genoa game.
The increase in ticket revenue has only made Genoa more miserable and needs to allocate more money to the city hall.
This made Genoa think about buying the stadium back. After all, it is not a good thing for the team to have the city hall suck blood.
In the conference room, Dejan Lu saw a stranger.
It's not that he knew about Genoa chairman Preziosi, who later became a coach speculator. Preziosi was Old Berlusconi's political lackey, so Milan and Genoa had such a close relationship.
The relationship between Serie A teams is an alliance formed for economic or political reasons.
Mantovani also has relationships with some team owners, so it was so easy to introduce young talents like Vialli before.
"Dejan, let me introduce to you, this is Lorenzo Costa, the current chairman of Genoa." Mantovani said with a smile, and directly took Dejan Lu's arm and asked him to sit down.
"Mr. Costa."
Dejan Lu nodded and said.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Lorenzo." Costa said with a flattering look, "Dejan, you have more respect in the city hall, so we still have to trouble you if we want to acquire the stadium."
Dejan Lu looked at Mantovani.
Mantovani said, "Acquiring the stadium has many benefits for the team, and we can also get a loan."
"No problem!"
Dejan Lu said, "What do you need me to do?"
The old chairman said so, Dejan the Football King just came forward.
Costa said, "We will let people reveal the news in the newspaper, and then hope that you can mention it at the press conference and off the field. At that time, we will directly initiate the acquisition. We may need players to stand up and let the fans support us."
"No problem."
Dejan Lu said.
"Thank you so much." Costa said excitedly, "I will go back and prepare now. I will tell Paolo the specific details."
Dejan Lu stood up directly.
It would be rude to sit down after all the guests have left.
After Costa left, the old chairman explained, "Genoa's economic situation is not very good, but Lorenzo has found an opportunity. The bank loan is lower than the city hall's share. As long as Genoa buys the stadium, he can have more income."
"Didn't they upgrade?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"Yes, but they have also introduced a lot of players. Genoa's ability to resist risks is not strong. Lorenzo seems to want to sell the club."
Mantovani said.
Dejan Lu nodded again.
Understood.
Isn't this just taking advantage of the upgrade to build a stadium to increase the valuation if the players introduced are not completely destroyed?
Anyway, the loan to buy the stadium was repaid by Genoa. When he sold the club, he could make more money. No wonder Costa was so polite.
Faced with a person who can bring you millions of benefits, these businessmen are willing to do anything.
It is estimated that if Dejan the Football King promises to run with all his strength, the other party will have to give him a thumbs up.
Such a sober person is not bad either.
Whether you are spending money or making money, the other party's attitude makes you comfortable.
If you change it to a yellow-skinned dog, you can't wait to discipline the DIY players who pay for it every two years. This thing really needs the rise of domestic products to prevent it from becoming popular. Even if you don't use domestic products, don't belittle it, because it can really benefit you.
After returning home, Dejan Lu saw the discussion about the stadium on TV.
This Costa is quite unusual.
Maybe he even convinced the Milan chairman to do this.
But Dejan Lu probably has little hope.
No matter how powerful you are, can you still compare to the Agnelli family?
It took so long for Juventus to comment on the court. The combined results of Genoa and Sampdoria are not bad, but the energy off the court is far different.
But Dejan Lu will still try his best to help.
This is mainly for the sake of the old chairman Mantovani.
After a 6-2 home victory over Pisa on November 10, Dejan Lu, who did not play, made a rare appearance at the press conference.
He usually attends press conferences after his appearance.
A huge surprise enveloped the reporters.
They wanted to put the microphone into Dejan Lu's mouth.
Why Dejan Lu appears here is news in itself.
"Dejan, why did you attend the press conference?"
"Did something happen to Sampdoria, Dejan?"
"There are recent rumors that Bayern wants to take you away for US$50 million. Is this true?"
"Mr. Boskov, is Sampdoria ready to sell Dejan?"
"..."
Dejan Lu sat down and watched the reporters' performance with a smile.
When they stopped talking, Dejan Lu pulled up the microphone and said, "Thank you for your estimate of 50 million on me. If this is true, I will leave directly and leave 50 million US dollars to the team. I believe that with this money, I can buy several players to bring the team to a higher level. As for the transfer share in my contract, I don't want a penny."
The reporters fell silent immediately.
Baggio broke the transfer fee record. This money can buy almost three Baggio.
Let's not talk about whether Dejan Lu is worth the money. For now, even if he is worth it, it is difficult for a team to spend so much money to introduce a player.
One Dejan Lu to buy five and a half Diego Maradona?
Forget about that half. Five Diego Maradona plus their teammates can beat all teams in football.
If there aren't that many Diego Maradona, wouldn't there be Van Basten and Gullit?
"Then why did you appear at the press conference? You can only attend the press conference after you appear." A reporter asked.
Dejan Lu said with a smile, "There is no reason, I just want to express some gratitude to the fans. It is because of their constant shouting that the team can score the biggest score this season. Some people say that fans are the twelfth person on the field. I strongly agree with this view. Without fans, football is nothing.
But unfortunately, the stadium we are in does not belong to us, nor does it belong to the fans. The twelfth man on the field does not have his own home. "
Boom——
The reporters finally knew what Dejan Lu said.
"Dejan, are your words directed at Italy's current stadium issues?"
"There has been such an argument in newspapers recently. Dejan Did you only think of it after reading the newspaper?"
"Do you think City Hall should sell the stadium to Sampdoria, Dejan?"
"..."
The reporters were even more excited than before.
After all, the stadium is the pocketbook of local municipalities, and they will not give up.
Boskov said quickly, "Yes, Dejan also saw the newspaper, and so did we. You also know that Sampdoria won three championships last season. We received a lot of bonuses and sponsorship income, but we did not spend too much on transfers. After improving the training facilities, the club wants to invest money in the stadium.
For World Cup, Ferraris Stadium is in a hurry to expand. The capacity has increased, but the supporting facilities and quality are not enough, which has affected the fans' viewing experience. We hope to acquire the stadium and renovate it to give fans a better viewing experience. "
"But that would put a huge dent in council revenue, wouldn't it?"
The reporter said directly.
"Yes." Boskov said, "But why does the city hall want to make money on the stadium? The German team has its own stadium, the British team and the Spain team also have their own stadium, why can't the Italy team have its own stadium?"
When I saw the reporters, I wanted to ask more questions.
Boskov stood up directly.
After all, he was not deeply involved in this matter, so talking too much could easily lead to problems.
"Sometimes I feel that football is really mixed with too many things. Why can't I just play football?" Boskov said with emotion.
Dejan Lu said with a smile, "Because football has had its class nature since its birth, and it has always included struggle and evolution."
Boskov also nodded.
As a person born in the 30s, he knows exactly what football was like before.
The two returned to the locker room together.
The next day.
Seeing that Monica was still sleeping soundly, Dejan Lu got up, washed up, went downstairs to get the newspaper, and then started cooking.
Breakfast was ready Monica just sniffed, mumbled a few words and fell asleep again.
Dejan Lu suddenly discovered a problem.
Monica always picked him to go to away games before, especially when he came back from away games in Europe and squeezed him hard.
That's why I feel so tired.
He didn't even play in the Pisa game, and he also had new skills.
Monica I don't know how long I will sleep now.
Opening the newspaper, Dejan Lu immediately stared.
"La Gazzetta dello Sport" actually published a letter of initiative from fans.
They wrote, "What Dejan said is what we think. As legal citizens, we respect everyone in the city hall. But we firmly demand that the management rights of the stadium be returned to the team. The stadium is as important to the team as the army is to the country. Although the city hall operates well, the stadium that does not belong to the team lacks soul.
Ferraris Stadium is named in memory of Genoa player Louis Ferraris who died in World War I. It is not a city hall or mayor's stadium. To deprive the team of its management rights is modern Farisism, and it robs the club of its past. We demand an open and fair negotiation opportunity for us to communicate. If our demands are not met, we will take measures such as not entering the stadium to watch the game and protesting in front of the city hall.
Genoa Royal Guard. "
I have to say that the fans' messages were very well written.
Mentioning the origin of the stadium's name arouses emotional resonance, emphasizing the importance of the stadium to the team to prove the need to return the operating rights. The most important thing is that the wording is strong but not absolutely tough.
It seemed like there was a request, but it didn't say much in detail, and it didn't give the city hall a way to deal with it.
At worst, it's just a one-and-done affair. If you don't go to the stadium to watch the game, you won't make any money.
Not to mention tourists, even if there are enough tourists, locals will find ways to prevent them from entering.
But the last signature made Dejan Lu dumbfounded.
At first glance, this is the fan base of Dejan the Football King.
Hey, this has become Dejan the Football King's problem.
That's okay, at least it's not signed "Free Genoa" or "Genoa XX Front" or anything like that.
Otherwise Dejan Lu has to be careful about whether there will be an explosion on the street when going out.
Genoa City Hall.
Merlo has smashed three ashtrays in the office.
The secretary looked frightened, fearing that it would hit her on the head next time.
As a person who relies on his face for a living, he can't let others destroy his livelihood.
"Rita, get them to the conference room."
Merlo said.
Hell, the Expo is less than two years old.
After that, he wanted to leave Genoa, but there were always people looking for things for him to do.
The management rights of the stadium represent billions of liras in revenue every year and are an important source of municipal expenses and some benefits. Who would agree to cut their own benefits?
Also, Italy does not allow private ownership of land.
Whether the team is building a stadium or wanting to buy a stadium, there are many formalities and problems.
If Dejan Lu hadn't stepped forward, Merlo wouldn't have had such a headache at all.
He always knew that big star had a lot of influence.
But I didn't expect it to be so big.
He stood up and stood in front of the window, pressing the blinds with his fingers and looking towards the street. Many fans holding slogans had gathered.
If we don't reply as soon as possible, more fans will make trouble.
Merlo hurriedly walked to the conference room, and the senior management was basically present.
The mayor, who was not in the mood to talk nonsense, knocked on the table and said, "Come up with a way to at least deal with it."
"There is no precedent for saying Italy!"
"We agreed first, but they were stuck on the formalities."
"I can't agree to this, damn it, otherwise my political future will be completely ruined."
Fontana, head of the cultural department of the city hall, said.
If you open this hole, what will happen if fans of other teams cause trouble?
Offended everyone at once.
Even if he doesn't get shot in the back and die, his political future is over.
"Yes, Leonardo is right. Then Leon, give us a solution." Merlo said directly.
Of course he also knew the risks behind this matter.
That's why he asked everyone to come to the meeting. Even if he takes the blame, he can't take the blame himself.
"Actually, things are not as bad as we thought." Piazza from the Ministry of Planning and Construction said.
His last name means square, and quite a few people in his family are in politics.
"Tell me what you think."
Merlo said noncommittally.
"We can change the approach. For example, instead of letting Genoa and Sampdoria acquire the stadium, we can use the stadium to invest in some companies." Piazza said
"Mantovani will not agree."
Merlo said directly.
Others are not stupid. You only earn so much from football tickets in a year, but the oil industry makes a lot of money.
"Then there's nothing I can do."
Piazza said.
It's all rubbish!
Merlo rubbed his temples, they were really unreliable at the critical moment.
In this case, everyone can do it according to their abilities.
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
Merlo said.
He met reporters when he left the city hall in the evening. Merlo smiled and said to reporters, "I am personally very willing to return the stadium to those two teams, and I am also working hard to promote this matter. However, there are many complicated procedures involved, and I am afraid that there will be problems with some procedures in the end."
After speaking, he refused reporters' questions and left directly.
He went home at night and called others to explain that he didn't really want to do this.
I believe other mayors can understand.
Public statements can gain the support of many people. In addition to these Genoa fans, there are also fans from other cities. Maybe his political career can really go further.
The most important thing is that if it fails, it will be because of the procedures and procedures. It is not his efforts, but someone in the city hall who sabotaged it.
Oh.
Then those idiots will have their hands full.
This incident caused quite a fuss.
It has completely become a game between the team and the city hall.
Until the ninth round, the news was full of these politicians.
Everyone agrees when asked, and rejected when applied.
Italy politicians are also quite good at playing.
"Damn vampire bastard!"
"Support Dejan!"
"Give us the court!"
Outside San Paolo Stadium, many fans held banners asking them to return the stadium to the team.
"Dejan, just go to the locker room and stop being interviewed." Boskov said.
He really didn't expect that this matter would have such a big impact. If he had known this earlier, he would never have agreed with what Dejan Lu said at the press conference.
It's obviously a team matter, why let a player get caught up in the whirlpool of public opinion?
Dejan Lu smiled and nodded and walked to the locker room.
Roberto Mancini whispered, "It feels like something is not right. You should really be more careful."
He has always been a sharp person.
"Don't worry."
Dejan Lu said.
No matter how big this thing is, it will not affect Dejan the Football King.
Both parties behind the scenes knew who their opponents were, they were just using the banner of Dejan the Football King.
If the old chairman hadn't wanted the stadium back, he wouldn't have come forward.
Roberto Mancini once again helped Dejan Lu put on the armband.
Diego Maradona is the captain of Napoli, and Dejan Lu, as his good brother, cannot let down his momentum.
"Dejan!"
Matracci smiled and changed equipment. He was very tall and looked funny when he bent over and raised his head.
"Congratulations, Marco, finally debuted."
Dejan Lu said.
Matracci trains with the first team and plays games with the youth team.
This time it was mainly due to serious injuries on the defensive line, and Carboni's body being unable to play continuously, that Matracci got the chance.
"I will try my best."
Matracci said.
Verchowod glanced at him and said, "You look like a tough guy, play hard."
"Okay!"
Matracci grinned.
Dejan Lu chooses to draw the lottery directly.
[Because your good brother Roberto Mancini is very popular in the team, even if he goes to coach Italian National Team, his old teammates are still willing to help him, so a player who is not popular in the locker room is selected. Ding, get the 33rd round of the Bundesliga in the 1992-1993 season, Bayern Munich VS Bochum, Lothar·Humbert·Lothar Matthäus single game experience card]
!!!
Dejan the Football King is having sex with Lothar Matthäus?
The last game was Anthony·Lothar Matthäus, and this game is Lothar·Lothar Matthäus.
It's just that this Lothar Matthäus is much stronger than the previous one.
Just watching the game broadcasts and highlights, you can feel the power of Lothar Matthäus.
But when playing football face to face, the feeling is more intuitive.
Lothar Matthäus is a perfect player on the court.
Things such as momentum and spirit that cannot be felt on TV actually have a great impact.
Otherwise, Emperor Bei wouldn't have said Lothar Matthäus when choosing someone.
Dejan Lu tied his shoelaces and stood up and jumped.
Sometimes he feels like he is a good person, as he helped Diego Maradona fight Cruyff through the air.
Now after Diego Maradona quit taking drugs, Lothar Matthäus has fallen into trouble. In order to give him a fair duel, Dejan the Football King stood up again.
When he came out to warm up, Napoli fans gave him face.
Everyone is in the same trenches lately, otherwise normally the northern teams would only hear boos when they go to San Paolo Stadium.
"Something doesn't seem right about that guy."
Roberto Mancini pointed at Diego Maradona and said.
Dejan Lu looked over and saw that Diego Maradona was indeed not as active as before.
He raised his hand towards Careca, motioning for the other party to come over.
Dejan Lu directly covered his mouth and asked, "Diego What's going on? Didn't he say he doesn't use that thing anymore?"
"Yes, but it's very difficult. He needs something else to distract him."
Careca also covered his mouth and said.
Effenberg He was greatly shocked by the fact that his lips were read.
South American players often greet other people's families on the court.
"So what did he choose?"
"Girl, this guy has been fooling around lately."
Careca complained.
Dejan Lu smiled and shook his head.
Drug addiction is indeed difficult to deal with and requires family support in addition to willpower.
Diego Maradona's frequent cheating has put him in an endless loop.
Dejan Lu believes that he loves his wife the most.
After all, when he was divorced, he refused to agree, and finally let his ex-wife become his manager and refused to leave him.
But from here, it seems that it is difficult for this guy to change some habits.
"Then can he play?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"It's okay. He hasn't gone out to play for half a month in order to deal with you. It's not because his feet are soft, it's just recently..." Careca said hesitantly.
"I understand."
Dejan Lu suppressed a smile and nodded. He quickly waved his hand to signal the other party to go back, and he also returned to the half court.
After doing this for a long time, Lao Ma was holding it back.
"Thank you, Dejan, about Diego..."
Careca said behind him.
The conflict between Dejan Lu and the gang allowed Diego Maradona to successfully get rid of the Napoli gang.
The constant persuasion is also for Diego Maradona's good.
And there is absolutely no interest relationship.
He thinks what the newspaper said is right. Compared to rotten people like them, Dejan Lu is the best role model in football.
"Try to feel it."
Seeing Dejan Lu coming back, Verchowod kicked the ball directly to Dejan Lu.
The ball was not very fast. Dejan Lu ran up to meet the ball, swung his right foot and hit the ball behind.
Bang——
The loud noise silenced the court.
Matracci felt a strong wind blowing past his head, causing his face to hurt.
Pagliuca, as a goalkeeper with outstanding reaction speed, jumped out immediately, but still failed to stop the shot.
After he landed, he felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
"Are you okay?"
Verchowod bent down and stretched out his hand to ask.
Pagliuca stood up and shouted to Dejan Lu, "Asshole, are you going to kill me?"
As a top goalkeeper, he could clearly tell that the long shot just now contained considerable power.
Dejan Lu smiled and waved his hand and said, "I just kicked him casually, so don't take it too seriously."
"Damn, I always thought I had a good relationship with Dejan."
Pagliuca muttered, "Now I realize that I thought too much. He was waiting for an opportunity to kill me."
"You kid."
Verchowod laughed and scolded, "You also saw me passing the ball. Dejan shot directly without any preparation. Isn't this just a casual kick?"
Pagliuca did not deny it. After all, the matter was exactly as Verchowod said.
But he bent down to catch the ball and immediately discovered a problem.
Something wasn't right with the ball.
Having played football for more than 20 years, he can feel it as soon as he gets started.
Pagliuca quickly took off his gloves and touched the ball back and forth twice. He couldn't help but cursed, "Fuck, the air is leaking!"
If a casual kick is so brutal, then if you are prepared, the goalkeeper will not die on the court?
