One-sided!
Atalanta can no longer hold on.
Even if the commentators don't point it out, the audience can see it on the faces of the Atalanta players.
The feeling of confusion and helplessness could not be concealed.
This emotion is rarely seen in professional athletes.
Bruno Giorgi knows it's bad.
An average of 1.22 points per game is quite good for a mid-tier team.
But if the players lose confidence, the team will decline all the way in the next period of time.
Even falling into the relegation zone is not an exaggeration.
He didn't even know what to do.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Sampdoria had pushed Salzano to the sidelines, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It should be replaced by Dejan Lu, right?
"Substitution has taken place. After Dejan performed a hat trick and assisted twice, Sampdoria finally chose to make a substitution. Salzano replaced Dejan, Atalanta fans applauded Dejan. This is the fourth time Dejan has received such courtesy in an away game. I highly doubt that he will conquer all the stadiums of European giants before retiring."
"As for those stadiums where fans didn't applaud, it's because Dejan doesn't take them seriously at all."
Dejan Lu walked to the sidelines and high-fived Salzano.
After rinsing his mouth, he jogged on the sidelines for two minutes before returning to the bench.
"How do you feel? You seem to be very serious today. Are you influenced by Diego Maradona?" Verchowod asked.
"How is that possible?"
Dejan Lu said with a smile, "I'm not that stingy and I never care what others say."
Every time someone makes a suggestion, Dejan the Football King will write down their name.
This is the attitude of asking for advice humbly.
Verchowod smiled and nodded and said, "Paolo will participate in the chess final tomorrow. Can you come with me to the scene to cheer him on? He will be very happy to see you."
"Of course no problem!"
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
Hey, he is also a little worried about the child Paolo.
Soviet Union is about to disintegrate, I wonder if he will be hit.
"That's great!"
Verchowod said.
He now has a headache for his son.
Even though Dejan Lu left the game early, Samp still beat its opponent 8:2 in the away game.
This is also the game with the most goals in Serie A in recent seasons.
At the post-match press conference, Caniggia told reporters, "I don't even know what happened. Maybe the person playing on the field is not really me."
After almost getting World Cup at Argentina, he was obviously unwilling to accept such a result.
The Brits are going to give him a hard time after the game.
As for Chiesa, it is just an ordinary muscle strain. Depending on his recovery, he will probably miss the game for 2-3 weeks.
The next day, Dejan Lu and Redondo followed Verchowod to their community.
Italy Some communities have football teams and places similar to children's palaces.
Before game consoles became popular, this was where kids spent their time on vacation.
"This time Paolo finally entered the finals. I hope he can win the championship." Verchowod said, "That kid has a strong desire to win."
"This is a good thing. People who have no desire to win will not be able to do anything energetically."
Dejan Lu said.
When a few people arrived, the third and fourth place finals had already begun.
"Uncle Fernando, uncle Dejan!"
Paolo shouted in surprise.
Dejan Lu quickly raised his index finger to tell him to keep his voice down.
Paolo·Verchowod quickly covered his mouth for fear of disturbing other players.
Some parents also noticed this, Dejan Lu smiled at them, nodded and made the same move.
Don't interfere with other people's games, respect other people's efforts and efforts.
Regardless of age or other factors, everyone's efforts are equally valuable.
After a few people went out, they started chatting.
"How are you? Are you nervous?"
Redondo asked.
"It's okay." Paolo said, "My opponent is very powerful. His father is a professional chess player."
"Then you really have to be careful."
Dejan Lu nodded and said.
Talent is important, but so is hard work and strategy.
Having a professional player as a sparring partner, both in terms of experience and ability to evaluate chess games, will far exceed the level of the community.
Paolo This opponent is not easy to deal with.
After waiting for more than half an hour, a community staff member notified Paolo to compete.
Several people also went to watch the battle.
His opponent was a little older than Paolo, probably similar to Virgil, both junior high school students.
Both age and experience are at a disadvantage.
What Dejan Lu didn't expect was that Paolo won the first game with E4E5's classic Italy start.
This opening has been around for hundreds of years. The inventor was the 15th century Italy chess player Giocco Piano. It is suitable for both beginners and experts. The core idea is to compete for the center.
Verchowod's mouth could no longer hold back.
However, Paolo unexpectedly lost in the second game and chose to abstain in the third game.
In the best-of-three game, I only got the second place.
Verchowod was not angry, but asked, "Why do you do this?"
"He has been watching his father and has no intention of playing chess. I will not be happy to win against such an opponent." Paolo said directly.
Dejan Lu smiled and patted his shoulder. This kid was quite proud.
And there is sportsmanship.
Fortunately, he is not a professional player, otherwise he would be tricked to death if he met Koreans.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to some ice cream!"
Verchowod said.
Nor do I comment on whether Paolo did it right or not.
It is estimated that he himself is also very complicated.
"This kid is very good at taking care of others. He is afraid that his opponent will get beaten when he goes home." Redondo said in a low voice.
Dejan Lu nodded, and he also saw that the child had some problems with his sitting posture.
His butt should be spanked a lot.
Some people don't speak well, and their children will be beaten if they make mistakes.
Dejan Lu does not agree with this approach.
You have to be reasonable before spanking your child, and you can't just spank them blindly.
Otherwise, if the children are frightened, how can they develop?
"Sometimes I also think that if I have children in the future, I might be sorry for them."
Redondo sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Dejan Lu asked.
Redondo said, "My father gave me a lot of things, but I can't make my children live a better life than when I was a child, because you can't make that much money playing football."
"Sometimes money isn't everything."
Dejan Lu said, "The players are already making a lot of money, so the next step is to make them feel rich."
"Uncle Dejan, do you think I did the right thing?"
Paolo stopped and asked.
"It's good to have compassion."
Dejan Lu said with a smile, "But you have to learn to control your sympathy. You can't give in to your opponent every time you encounter something. You have to distinguish what you will lose if you give in, and whether the opponent is worth it."
"Then how can I tell?"
Paolo asked.
"Feel it with your own heart, and you will understand it when you grow up."
Dejan Lu explained, "If you want to develop in the competitive field, don't do that. Going all out is also a way to respect your opponent."
"But the newspapers say you often don't use your full strength."
Paolo said doubtfully.
"Nonsense, I didn't!"
Dejan Lu quickly retorted, "My performance is worthy of every lira I take."
Verchowod bought four cones from the ice cream truck, handed them to them and said, "Sometimes I feel that your salary is too little. If you play basketball at this level, you will probably earn more than that Jordan."
"I can't compare to him."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
The old gangster has top-notch talent.
Dejan the Football King Drawing cards cannot be a top player in every game.
There is a gap in itself.
Several people went back to Verchowod's house and had dinner before going home.
Two days later, Dejan Lu started and scored a hat trick of assists, helping the team beat Dynamo Dresden 5:0, which directly made the second round meaningless.
Back at home, Dejan Lu sat on the bench, and the team narrowly defeated AC Milan by 2 goals.
He didn't even have a chance to play.
On March 16, Samp defeated Pisa with 3 goals in an away game.
This wave of winning streak has caused some Italy media to start shouting Sampdoria to defend the title.
At this time, Dejan Lu met some unexpected people.
Home of the old chairman Mantovani.
The gardens and courtyards of Paolo·Mantovani are very beautifully maintained.
After seeing Dejan Lu, Mantovani immediately introduced, "Dejan, this is the owner of the Marseille team. He is also the owner of a sports brand."
"Mr. Tapie."
Dejan Lu nodded and said.
He knew the Frenchman.
Tapie's experience is more exciting than the movie.
"It's great to meet the best stars in the world. Are you interested in playing football at Marseille?" Tapie said with some exaggeration.
"Forget it, I still like Genoa."
Dejan Lu smiled and refused.
"That's really a pity, otherwise Marseille would have the strength to win the championship." Tapie said, "We are very interested in outstanding players in Serie A. We have signed Diego Maradona before."
Dejan Lu nodded, knowing that he was talking about Adidas.
"Now we want to sign you and sponsor Sampdoria." Tapie pointed at another person and said, "My CEO thinks so too. If you agree, we will give you the most generous treatment."
"Nike and I get along very well."
Dejan Lu said, the smile on his face getting thicker.
If you want to rob Dejan the Football King, it depends on your sincerity.
Even if the price is not enough, you can still negotiate with the Americans backhand.
"Don't you want to own shares in a sporting goods company like Jordan? We can also create your personal brand, just like AIR-JORDAN."
The CEO said with some urgency.
Mantovani kept winking at Dejan Lu.
He doesn't know much about sporting goods, but as a businessman, he has realized that Dejan Lu is probably very, very important to those selling leather balls now.
"We can offer 5% of the shares, which is even more than what Jordan can get."
Tapie said directly.
"But Nike's market value is probably higher." Dejan Lu said directly.
"Yes, but if you sign, we are confident that the value of the company will be higher. Jordan's first contract is only US$2.5 million for 5 years."
The CEO said.
"Maybe you can try to convince my agent, who is also my girlfriend." Dejan Lu said with a smile.
He didn't want to talk anymore.
It is better to leave this aspect to Monica.
Monica That girl is very ruthless when negotiating, Dejan the Football King always gets a bigger contract than expected.
And he heard that Adidas is still in debt, so don't be fooled by them.
Tapie That guy's tricks are not ordinary.
"Just so we don't talk about business matters, I'll have people prepare some Genoa traditional dishes." The old chairman stood up and said.
This kind of contract is not something that can be completed in one day.
At the dinner table, Tapie said, "We have made a lot of efforts to convince the board of directors to sign you with shares."
"Then I really appreciate your recognition of me."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
"Do you have any ideas about personal branding?" Tapie asked.
"Not yet, Adidas probably has its own sub-brand," Dejan Lu said.
"Are you talking about the clover? It was inspired by the Olympic Games. Mr. Adolf Dassler is a genius." Tapie praised.
After the acquisition, he also learned about the company's affairs.
Those who can grow from small workshops to large companies have a powerful founder or second generation behind them, just like the five Fendi sisters.
"I have also heard that Mr. Dassler refused to give benefits to athletes, so he missed the championship." Dejan Lu said.
He had also probably seen what happened to the brothers.
Dassler had the idea of providing free shoes to athletes, but he was unwilling to satisfy the idea of good athletes asking for some money to wear shoes, so they changed the brand.
That's where the early endorsement fees came from.
"Yes, but we won't miss it." Tapie said with a smile.
As a Frenchman and the owner of a football club, he is well aware of the current development of football.
As television broadcasts progress, the influence of football will become more and more exaggerated.
Just the Italia '90 that just passed made the whole world see the charm of football.
He believes signing Dejan Lu is the right decision.
Dejan Lu told Monica about it when he got home in the evening.
"What do you think would be better?"
Monica asked.
"Actually, I don't care, but Americans still have some problems with the value assessment of football players. They are willing to pay for athletes, but they are not willing to believe that there are players like Jordan in football."
Dejan Lu said.
That's the point.
Now in the football field, Adidas is not as good as Nike.
But the endorsement fee given by Nike can no longer satisfy Dejan Lu.
"Then let's give it a try. If the Americans don't want to pay, we'll sign a contract with the French." Monica said.
She also feels that Americans have underestimated the influence of Dejan Lu.
"Why are you reluctant to go home today?"
Dejan Lu hugged Monica's waist and asked.
"There will be an event in a few days. Can you go with me? The organizer hopes you can show up." Monica asked.
"Let's look at the team's schedule."
Dejan Lu said.
Boskov is not like Sir Alex Ferguson, but Dejan Lu doesn't want to do too much other things on training days.
Fortunately, we went to East Germany to play an away game on March 20, and Dejan Lu didn't even make the squad.
I attended the event in Milan with Monica.
There are quite a few fashion events happening in Milan this time of year.
The two people just got out of the car and the scene exploded.
"Dejan!!!"
"Dejan!!!"
"Dejan!!!"
Monica, who got off the car later, said, "These fans are more fanatical than movie fans."
"Sports competition itself can stimulate adrenaline better." Dejan Lu said.
This was the golden age of football.
After the Champions League was restructured and Bosman ruling was introduced, football developed faster during that time.
The British began a 20-year god-making movement, and World Cup was a hit every time.
But after Shuangde and the others retired, England completed their breakthrough into the top four.
"Dejan, it's nice to see you." A middle-aged woman walked up quickly and said, "Before you went to Genoa, the newspaper linked you to us."
"This is Paula Ms. Fendi." Monica introduced.
"Hello, Ms. Fendi."
Dejan Lu said.
There are a lot of things about the quarrel between the five sisters in the newspapers, and you can see them every now and then.
Five children in a family have to fight, let alone run a company together.
This Paula is the fourth child and the most business-minded, it is she who signed Karl Lagerfeld.
"Would you be interested in being our spokesperson?" Paula Fendi asked.
"Forget it, I'm more suitable for jeans."
Dejan Lu refused.
He can't stand the aesthetics of the fashion world.
"We have a denim collection," said Paula Fendi.
"Dejan!"
Míchel·Ferrero walked quickly to Dejan Lu and said, "You didn't even give me a ticket during the final, which made me very sad."
He still maintains good health even in his 60s.
"I'll make it up this time."
Dejan Lu said.
"You are really confident. Next Sampdoria may get Real Madrid or AC Milan, or Marseille. I saw in the newspaper that the singing boss from Marseille is here Italy."
Ferrero said.
"Yes, he is having a headache these days. How to deal with Monica."
Dejan Lu smiled and introduced, "Monica·Bellucci, my girlfriend works part-time as a non-commissioned agent."
"Wow, you really know how to do business."
The old man smiled and said, "I should let my grandson learn from you and marry a capable woman when the time comes. This way I can even save my salary."
Ferrero greeted Monica again, "I can always see you in the newspapers. Your beauty is impressive."
"Thank you."
Monica said with a smile.
She never expected that Dejan Lu would be so popular.
Even if it's not in front of those fans.
"If you can still win the championship this season, how about I make a Sampdoria chocolate?" Ferrero asked.
"I don't care about this. You have to convince Mr. Mantovani."
Dejan Lu said.
While the two were chatting, someone selling sparkling wine approached them.
Dejan Lu didn't finish socializing until the event started.
"Sometimes I think it's enough to step behind the scenes and be your manager," Monica said with emotion.
"You still have to have your own career."
Dejan Lu said, "They are looking for me just because I have value. If one day I stop playing, they may not be so polite. When you succeed, you will find that you are surrounded by good people."
Monica knocked Dejan Lu on the head and laughed and cursed, "You are only 19 years old, why are you so emotional?"
"Perhaps this is a common problem among literary and artistic workers."
Dejan Lu said.
The two of them became quiet when the show started.
I have to say that the fashion industry at this time is pretty reliable.
At least Dejan Lu thinks these models are very healthy and not as thin as they were later.
Clothes are not so abstract. Just get a woven bag and sell it for tens of thousands.
When leaving, a young model probably bumped into Dejan Lu and stuffed the note into his hand. Not only was Monica not angry, he even called the other person when he got home.
The little model was so frightened that she hung up the phone without saying a few words.
"It's not fun at all."
Monica said.
"Then let's watch the game."
Dejan Lu said while looking at the TV.
As soon as the TV was turned on, Samp led 2:0.
The East German teams lacked the protection of the secret police and were just serving food in front of Europe's top teams.
Samp defeated his opponent with 8 goals in two rounds and entered the semi-finals.
The subsequent draw excited the sports media throughout Europe.
Sampdoria's opponent is Real Madrid, AC Milan met Marseille.
"La Gazzetta dello Sport" wrote, "Sampdoria finally met Real Madrid. This time they will face an opponent with the largest number of Champions League champions. However, we think Real Madrid should have no chance. They drew AC Milan can't win, and Sampdoria can't win even more. The suspense of the semi-finals is which side will win between Marseille and AC Milan and become the opponent of Sampdoria."
"Gazzetta dello Sport" posted a photo of the streets of Madrid and wrote, "Even in Madrid, there are many young people who imitate Dejan's dressing style and buy the motorcycles Dejan rides. Real Madrid is a European giant, but this time they will meet a world-class star."
"Tuttosport" specially interviewed Pelé for the sake of sales.
Pelé said on the phone, "I also watched Dejan's game recently. He is still very good, but what I want to say is that he should win in a good way. Facing a game like Real Madrid, playing in a gorgeous way is the best. As for the winner? I really want to say it is Real Madrid, but my knowledge tells me that Real Madrid can't do it."
"Aspen" wrote, "This time Real Madrid is ready to teach Sampdoria a lesson and let them know that the dignity of the King of the Champions League cannot be offended."
"Marca": "Stefano will lead the team to win everything."
Because Toshack dismissed get out of class, Stefano took over the coaching staff of Real Madrid for the second time.
He had good results when he coached for the first time, leading Real Madrid to six runner-up finishes, tying Ballack.
Cruyff said on "Mundo Deportivo": "There is no way Real Madrid can beat Sampdoria now, their team is extremely chaotic. Dejan He has enough talent and is playing the best football on the pitch. If he can go to Barcelona, it will take his career further, although I don't want to say it, but players must play in a big team to gain some advantages in the selection."
Supporters from both sides have been escalating their insults in the air.
Even the media from other European countries are involved.
Many celebrities have chosen to take sides. Italy celebrities all believe that Sampdoria is stronger.
What's interesting is that not all Spain celebrities support Real Madrid.
The British national goalkeeper Hilton firmly believes that Dejan Lu will win. Dejan Lu's previous victory over Diego Maradona was considered to have avenged him. Since then, the England international has often praised Dejan Lu in newspapers.
Even some current players came to join in the fun.
Diego Maradona said in an interview, "I don't think Real Madrid has any chance. I have played in Spain and I know their strength very well. It is not easy to defeat Dejan. Maybe among the current players, I am the only one who has such ability."
After the reporter reminded him that he had never won once, Diego Maradona left with an ugly expression.
Paolo·Paolo Maldini put it more euphemistically. He said, "Real Madrid is very strong. Sampdoria must be careful. They have the strength to win the game, and we will work hard to enter the finals."
So it's April 10th.
Samp finally welcomed Real Madrid at home.
Although Real Madrid's current results are not very stable, their reputation is there.
In order to prepare for this game, even at home Boskov chose to have the players return to the team and stay in the hotel one day early, for fear that the players would indulge themselves at home.
The previous Cup Winners' Cup loss to Barcelona made him very unwilling.
So facing the Spain team, Boskov is more careful than before.
Northern Three Powers is quite strong, but since we are in the same league, we know each other better.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Samp team got on the bus and left the hotel.
As the bus was driving on the road, we saw fans standing on both sides of the street.
They kept shouting the name of the team or Dejan Lu, and waved the team flags and jerseys in their hands.
"I said I wanted to play for Real Madrid, and my dad has had insomnia for several days."
Redondo looked at the BP machine and said with a smile.
Real Madrid's influence in South America is even more exaggerated than in Europe.
"Left you another message?" Dejan Lu asked.
"Well, he told me not to feel any pressure and play well." Redondo said in a dumbfounded voice, "If he didn't call me all the time, I would definitely feel better."
"No way, that's Real Madrid."
Pagliuca said with a smile, "My mother even asked me to call and tell every relative. The last time I did this was my first time being selected for the national team. I didn't even know I had dozens of relatives at home."
"Virgil has been very excited these days and cheers me on."
Verchowod said.
Dejan Lu nodded.
Real Madrid can become the best team of this century.
Barcelona really can't compare with Real Madrid at this time.
He could clearly feel the tension among some of his teammates.
The last time Cup Winners' Cup lost in the final, it was a past that many teammates did not want to recall.
What's more, this time we faced Spain, the number one wealthy family.
Even if Serie A is developing like this, few newspapers and fans say that a certain Serie A team has surpassed Real Madrid.
Dejan Lu also wanted to know the results in advance, so he directly chose the lottery.
[Your good brother Enrico·Chiesa's football talent was passed down to his son, so a player with a talented son but no talent was selected. Ding, he won the 11th round of La Liga in the 2001-2002 season, Real Madrid VS Barcelona, Zinedine·Zidane Single Match Experience Card]
Zidane!!!
Dejan Lu Someone who was surprised appeared.
He thought it would be Stefano or Gento.
Needless to say, Zidane's strength is called the half-step ball king by many people.
As a midfielder, he is physically strong and even has good header ability.
As for midfielder duties such as passing and dribbling, Zidane is at the top level.
If I must say a disadvantage, it is that the speed is not fast enough.
So Dejan Lu has always felt that the Little Prince is like Zinedine Zidane. Both of them are physically strong but not very fast.
I really can't find any shortcomings in other aspects.
If I must say it, it's that I don't control my emotions very well.
Before Matracci, Zinedine Zidane was also the type who often clashed with his opponents. After all, his breakthroughs could always tease his opponents. This style of playing could easily be provoked by his opponents.
Drawing Zinedine Zidane just allows Real Madrid to experience the power of the wing core.
"Dejan, let's go to the press conference."
The bus just stopped and Boskov greeted.
Dejan Lu nodded, got out of the car and quickly walked into the stadium with the coach.
"Coach, in fact, Real Madrid is just an ordinary team."
Dejan Lu said.
There was something wrong with the old coach's reaction today.
"Of course I know, but I just can't help being nervous." Boskov said with a wry smile, "Maybe only coaching the Yugoslavia national team will make me feel the same."
Dejan Lu did not speak.
Hey, I guess even if they win the championship at the end of the season, the coach won't be happy.
The two people walked quickly to the press conference. The Real Madrid general had not arrived yet, but the reporters were already waiting in Ferraris Stadium's press conference room.
Today's press conference was particularly crowded and there were not enough chairs.
Many reporters were standing in the aisles and behind, and the door to the press room could not even be closed.
Stefano and Sanchis appeared together, and reporters immediately started asking questions.
"Mr. Di Stefano, are you confident of winning a victory today?"
"Dejan, can you tell me why you rejected Real Madrid?"
"Dejan, the Princess and Ferraris Stadium, will the big-name fans give you extra motivation?"
"Manolo, do you and your teammates have any solution against Dejan?"
"Mr. Boskov, will your tactics change today?"
"..."
Boskov smiled and nodded, indicating to Stefano to speak first.
Stefano pulled the microphone and said, "Sampdoria is very strong. We have made some preparations. As for taking away a victory, I can't guarantee it, but Real Madrid will always fight for victory."
The reporters couldn't help but shake their heads.
Especially from Catalonia.
"Then do you have any tactics against Dejan?"
"Of course, every coach will specialize in defending Dejan, and I will certainly not be an exception." Stefano said.
"It is said that Sanz issued a kill order that Real Madrid must win. Is this true?"
one reporter asked.
Other reporters also pricked up their ears.
Stefano quickly said, "There is no such thing at all. Mr. Chairman really asked us to work hard. This is true for every opponent. There will be no exception because of Sampdoria."
Sanchis nodded and said, "Yes, we will not change our attitude just because of our opponents. Sampdoria is not a special opponent for us because they are not derby opponents. Only derby opponents are special."
Quite good at talking.
Dejan Lu did not expect that one of Real Madrid's Five Eagles could easily resolve the reporter's trap.
Let's not mention Samp's strength, just talk about Derby.
This is indeed no problem.
Reporters immediately lost interest in him, and no matter how big a player he was, he was just a defender.
Defenders are inherently less topical than offensive players.
"Dejan, do you think Real Madrid is special?"
one reporter asked.
Dejan Lu pulled the microphone and said, "Of course, they are the team that has won the most Champions League titles."
"Then why did you reject Real Madrid?"
The reporter asked with interest.
Dejan Lu said with a smile, "Rather than joining a giant club, I prefer to create a giant club with my teammates."
