"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"Another iconic Dejan-style goal!"

"This long shot was full of confusion and gave the Roma goalkeeper no chance to react. No one except Dejan could have known in advance that the ball started to turn crazily in the small penalty area. Such an arc should probably appear on a racing car."

"Even if Dejan has never participated in a racing competition, I can still imagine how Dejan will perform on the track. When a person's speed reaches the extreme, machinery can only be a means for him to limit himself."

Teammates rushed towards Dejan Lu one after another.

Lombardo is particularly excited to be back in the lineup.

But while running, he found Lanna rushing past him.

Before he could think more, he was knocked down from behind by someone.

Redondo!

When he got up, Dejan Lu was already crowded with people, and he could only stand on the outside and giggle.

The Samp fans in the stands were as happy as if they were celebrating a holiday, with happy smiles on everyone's faces.

Their mentality has changed in recent years.

Not too fond of Italian Cup.

But in a season where we won multiple championships, Italian Cup is still quite useful.

Four crowns!

Last season Samp became the first team in Italy history to win three championships in a single season, and this season it continues to set its own record.

This feeling of happiness even makes fans a little scared, it is not so real.

Every day like this makes Samp fans feel lucky. When they wake up, the team is still the strongest in Serie A, instead of waking up from a dream.

So every time they are on the court, they shout out and shout out wantonly, for fear that if they slack off a little bit, they will not be worthy of the team's efforts.

Giannini stood there with his hands on his hips.

He had a bad premonition before starting the game, and now this premonition is becoming clearer and clearer.

"Give them some color?"

Desideri stretched out his palm and asked.

Giannini smiled and hit up, high-fived his teammates and said, "Of course, we are Roma!"

Even if he senses the strength of his opponent, he won't show it.

Giuseppe·Giannini knows this very well. He is not Italy's most skilled player, but as a captain, he is no worse than the captain of a wealthy club.

"It's just a ball, let's go hard!"

Giannini waved and shouted.

Dejan Lu walked back and nodded with a smile.

Is such an opponent interesting?

If your opponent gives in too easily, the game becomes meaningless.

The Roma team kicked off again, and Rizztelli quickly knocked Völler across the goal.

The German shooter not only did not run forward when he got the ball, but instead pulled it back behind the center circle.

It can be seen that his mentality is not bad and he is not in a hurry to attack.

This Roma team is much more mature than the first two times they met this season.

I did a lot of psychological preparation specifically for Italian Cup.

As a player, you will never give up no matter who your opponent is.

The opponent's strength is too strong, which makes them more able to put down their burdens.

It's not a big deal if you lose, but you make a lot of money if you win.

Judging from the mentality shown on the court, today's Roma is even better than the previous AC Milan. They are completely enjoying the game without the burden of being a wealthy team.

Giannini was not in a hurry to get the ball, but kept passing it with his teammates.

The passing speed in Serie A is not as fast as Dream Team III Barca.

Di Mauro wanted to stick to the ball, but Dossena rushed forward and forced him to the wing.

Di Mauro wanted to find a chance to pass the ball, but the experienced Dossena didn't give him a chance at all, and even paid attention to the distance between his feet.

Roma couldn't find a chance on the wing, so they could only turn around and kick the ball to Dossena for a side kick.

When he received the ball from the caddy, everyone was stunned.

Dossena was standing in front of Giannini, and more importantly, Dejan Lu and Redondo were nearby.

How can the core of Roma be so good that these three people can defend together?

A world champion, a midfielder who refused the opportunity to win the championship with Diego Maradona, and a player who has booked Ballon d'Or this year.

grass!

Giannini himself was speechless.

He didn't even know he was such a big threat.

Di Mauro Without any hesitation, he turned around and threw the ball to the backcourt.

Nela caught the ball and immediately gave it to Aldair.

The Brazilian defender who struggled in Benfica arrived in Roma and quickly became Roma's main player.

He does not have the extreme offensive desire of some Brazilian defenders, but he is very stable with the ball at his feet.

Vialli rushed forward to press, but he deceived him with a continuous spike, which made San Siro Stadium's away fans burst into cheers in the stands.

Roma fans clearly have a lot of love for the defender.

Aldair quickly passed the ball to the right side. Berthold caught the ball and rushed forward quickly. Lombardo couldn't even stop him.

As a wide player for Italy, Lombardo does not have the attributes of a wide midfielder.

He is a typical wing offensive player who is not that good on defense.

Berthold just passed the center line with the ball, and Redondo made up the position and rushed forward.

The full-back also knew that Redondo was difficult to deal with, so he quickly knocked Grolin forward.

Grolin took advantage of the situation and knocked forward, giving the ball to Giannini.

Dejan Lu posted it directly.

Give Giannini no space at all.

The Roman captain tried to start with his right foot and found that Dejan Lu's feet were very stable.

Not even in a hurry to move.

This makes him afraid to start dribbling easily. Once he starts, he has no choice but to go to one side.

Giannini moved his right foot and tried again to deceive Dejan Lu's center of gravity.

Dejan Lu was not in a hurry.

When Giannini pulled the ball back with his right foot, Dejan Lu immediately fell to the ground and made a sliding shovel, accurately shoveling the ball behind Giannini.

Samp began to fight back.

Dejan Lu stood up and pulled up Giannini.

Giannini complained, "You are obviously an offensive player, but you are still so difficult to deal with on defense."

"Who told you I was an offensive player?"

Dejan Lu asked with a smile.

Giannini was stunned.

It's true.

But he immediately realized that it wasn't the offensive player wearing Number Seven.

When he turned around, Dejan Lu had already run far away.

Rome the Prince feels like he has been fooled.

Sensing Dejan Lu moving forward, Redondo gave the ball back to Dejan Lu again.

Dejan Lu immediately passed sideways to Dossena.

Dossena ran forward a few steps with the ball and Tempestilli came up to defend.

The two men were deadlocked on the edge.

Dejan Lu rushed to respond, and Dossena passed the ball to Dejan Lu again.

"Sampdoria is very patient in passing the ball. They are always thinking of ways to organize the offense."

"Yes, Dejan's organizational ability in the midfield has reached a higher level than Sampdoria's. The combination of him and Redondo is excellent offensively and defensively. More importantly, both of them have very good organizational skills. Through balls... When Vialli started, his arm was pulled by Nella. Otherwise, the goal would have been scored in the penalty area."

"Vialli raised his hand to the referee to indicate that a penalty kick should be given, but the referee did not point to the twelve yards. In this situation, it is still necessary to maintain the balance of power on the field."

"Yes, Roma itself is lagging behind. If we give a penalty kick, the result of this game will come out directly. Dejan's pass just now was so beautiful. He didn't even look in front and sent a through ball that penetrated Roma's defense."

"Dejan's feet are at this level. Vialli's speed is still a little slower. If it were replaced by Caniggia of Atalanta, I'm afraid Dejan would have a lot more assists."

Vialli gave Dejan Lu a thumbs up.

Dejan Lu smiled and waved his hand.

The reason why he chose to pass through was because he saw an opportunity.

No one can guarantee that a through ball will pass through 100% of the time.

Even if you have excellent foot skills, it does not mean that your opponent will not intercept.

So the timing of passing the ball is also important.

Dejan Lu deliberately pretended to break through before sending a through ball, catching Nella and Aldair off guard.

Roma's two defenders are not weak either.

Especially Aldair, he will be the main defender of the Brazilian national team in the next ten years.

This is the player responsible for guarding the defense line for Ronaldo and Romario.

In the stands.

The Little Prince Totti looked confused.

He didn't even know what attitude he should use to face this game.

As a Roma fan, he certainly does not have as deep a feeling for the team as his father.

But after sixteen years, it's almost done.

But Dejan Lu is his best friend, and as a big star, he doesn't look down on him as a youth team player at all.

In Totti's heart, he hopes Dejan Lu can win.

But he also didn't want to see his parents disappointed.

That was what made him most uncomfortable.

Dejan Lu invited him to leave Rome several times, but the main reason Totti chose to refuse was his family.

After a short period of thinking, Totti finally came up with a conclusion.

That means whichever side can win will be happy for that side.

You can't be happy because of the weak. This is not in line with the spirit of sports.

"Vujadin, do you feel that Romans played very patiently today?"

Pezzotti asked worriedly.

Seeing Roma playing like this when they are lagging behind is as disobedient as a little scoundrel picking up "The Birds".

"That's true, but don't worry, we have Dejan."

Boskov said.

Pezzotti:...

He thought Boskov had made some tactical adjustments.

I have been working on it for a long time just waiting for Dejan Lu.

But this is indeed the best tactic, Dejan Lu will not let them down.

A few minutes later, Roma attacked again.

Grolin quickly sent a through ball, Giannini caught the ball and Dejan Lu rushed forward.

The Roma captain did not dare to take the ball too much and passed the ball without waiting for adjustment.

Di Mauro took the ball and quickly passed it across the ball, but Redondo stood very alert and blocked the ball with his chest. The somewhat annoyed Völler directly bumped into Redondo.

But Redondo had no response.

The Germans have good confrontation capabilities, and Redondo has better confrontation capabilities.

Völler directly supported Redondo's shoulders from behind, and knocked down Redondo with the ball with a hook.

Shhh——

There were boos and cheers.

The reaction of Samp fans and Roma fans to this move was not small.

Dejan Lu rushed up quickly and pushed Di Mauro away.

Lanna wanted to kick Völler, but Pellegrini hugged him directly from behind.

"This foul is unnecessary, and it's not a good opportunity even in midfield."

"Yes, Völler lost his mind. Dejan and Redondo did a great job in intercepting midfielders today. Völler only had two chances to get the ball in the first 30 minutes."

"This is indeed scary." Rossi said with a smile, "If it were me, I would also feel very uncomfortable. Dejan and Redondo completely cut off the support of the Roma midfielder to the frontcourt, which made it impossible for them to cooperate effectively."

"Yes, a yellow card... This foul should really be a warning, otherwise the Roma team will soon lose control."

As commentators, they all know what the Roma team is like.

As long as they are given a little chance, Roma will definitely find something for the referee to do.

"Are you okay?"

Dejan Lu asked.

"It's okay, it's just a small problem. I'll make sure to give him some color later."

Redondo said unhappily.

No matter in Argentina or Italy, he doesn't care whether the other party is famous or not.

If you dare to mess with him, just wait.

Dejan Lu smiled and shook his head.

The good brother's desire for revenge is a bit strong.

He really wants to learn more about this from Dejan the Football King.

The players from both sides had dispersed, and Redondo kicked the ball to the feet of Dejan Lu.

Standing in the center circle to catch the ball, Dejan Lu immediately spotted the opportunity.

He rubbed his feet directly without any hesitation.

Roma players are all in their half, but Vialli is on the line of the penalty area.

This time Vialli obviously also discovered Dejan Lu's intention, and immediately turned around and rushed towards the penalty area.

The ball simply landed in front of the small penalty area. After the ball fell, Vialli easily poked the ball into the goal.

The sudden change made the Roma players a little confused.

There was almost a fight just now, but why did he get scored on when he turned around?

This is very difficult for them to accept.

Vialli, who scored the goal, quickly rushed to the midfield and hugged Dejan Lu.

"This ball is so beautiful. I knew you could pass it when I started it." Vialli said with some excitement.

This time he encountered few obstacles.

He was one step ahead of the opponent at the start, and the Roma players had no choice but to chase back.

The placement and timing of the ball's fall are also very good, and he only needs a light poke behind the ball.

"Good timing for you to start."

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

"It's still comfortable playing football with you."

Vialli said excitedly.

Roberto Mancini, who ran back, said sourly, "I gave you a lot of assists."

"But you always give it to me when you can't shoot!"

Vialli revealed.

"That was me deliberately attracting the opponent's defensive attention, so that you could score the goal so easily." Roberto Mancini said angrily, "If I had known I would have covered you with a pillow while you were sleeping at the National Youth Team training base."

"Then I'll beat you to death when I wake up. You can't beat me at all."

"Nonsense, it's because you haven't had a girlfriend in the past few years and I got married that your physical fitness surpassed mine."

"How about one after the game?"

Vialli provocatively said.

"Don't you need to pull away?"

Redondo asked.

"No, it would be weird if they really fought." Dossena said with a smile.

Roberto Mancini and Vialli have quarreled thousands of times.

They were a little worried at first.

Later I discovered that these two guys were all talk and no practice.

The teammates didn't bother to care anymore.

Boskov on the sidelines excitedly threw a combination of virtual and real punches, which made Pezzotti's eyelids jump.

He didn't know whether Boskov was really unconscious or if he had deliberately practiced it.

As a coach, he probably doesn't have much time to practice boxing.

But Pezzotti was very surprised by the strength Boskov showed.

I discovered this talent earlier. I used to kick ass when I was young, but now I am the Yugoslavia boxing champion.

Chiesa also noticed this.

This super substitute has been reminding himself in his heart that he must be careful when doing things.

If the coach caught him doing this, he might not even have a chance to fight back.

"The biggest problem in Rome is that there is no way to limit Dejan."

"When Dejan is on the left, at least they know that Dejan will definitely push forward. If one person cannot do it, they will use two or three people to defend together. But Dejan went to the midfield, and Roma had no way to restrict him."

"Yes, Dejan was very active in the midfield today and performed very well on both ends of the offense and defense. The most important thing is that he and Redondo kept passing the ball together to pull the Roma team's formation, and it was easy to create opportunities. Sampdoria only scored two goals, which was a lucky thing for Roma. Although Vialli scored one goal, he also missed several good opportunities."

"The Brazilian defender in Roma performed well. His defense against Vialli was very good today."

"Aldair is indeed very good. I heard that he was personally invited to Rome by Roma President Dino Viola."

"Speaking of Roma President, I heard that Viola seems to be interested in selling the club?"

Neither of them was interested in what was happening on the field.

When Dejan Lu came on the field, no team could reverse Sampdoria's lead with two goals. Although the half was not over yet, Roma had already lost the qualification to win the cup.

This ball made Roma instantly change back to its original appearance.

After the restart, their pace was astonishingly fast. Desideri rushed forward crazily as soon as they got the ball.

Lombardo still failed to stop the opponent.

But Redondo went to cover up the defense, and Desideri immediately took the ball and walked towards the middle.

Seeing Dejan Lu, he immediately gave the ball to Giannini.

Dejan Lu turned around and chased after him.

Giannini wants to pass the ball, but the forward is already being marked.

In this situation, he can only grit his teeth and dribble the ball by himself.

The Roma captain even hoped that Dejan Lu could tackle him for a foul and give Roma a free kick.

But Dejan Lu had no intention of falling to the ground to defend, which left Giannini completely confused as to what to do.

Giannini gritted his teeth and dribbled the ball to the wing with his left foot.

Mannini's defense speed is very fast. In this situation, he has no way to find an opportunity between the two people.

The Roma captain immediately wanted to turn around and protect the ball.

At this time, Mannini poked him from behind, and Dejan Lu rushed out to successfully get the ball.

Giannini quickly pulled Dejan Lu's arm to prevent Dejan Lu from starting.

Dejan Lu swung his right foot and directly hit the side and bottom of the ball.

Bang——

The speed of this ball is quite fast. It instantly crosses the center line from the right side of the backcourt and goes straight to the left side of the frontcourt.

Berthold rushed to the landing point immediately.

Roberto Mancini kept an eye out. After he judged the landing point, he deliberately moved his steps to attract the opponent's attention.

By the time Berthold discovered that he had been fooled, Roberto Mancini had already run to the landing point to get the ball.

Berthold rushed forward and knocked Roberto Mancini down with a hug.

"Fouls in this position are still a bit dangerous."

"Yes, there are many free kickers in the Sampdoria team."

Roberto Mancini took Vialli's hand and stood up, giving up his position.

"You don't take the penalty?" Vialli asked in surprise.

"You see Dejan running up specially, you know that guy wants to take the penalty." Roberto Mancini curled his lips and said.

"But it's rare to see you so humble."

Vialli teased.

Roberto Mancini always likes to give in when meeting Dejan Lu.

This is really unusual for Roberto Mancini.

When Dejan Lu came up, he stood directly behind the foul spot.

Just one action made Cervone feel bad.

A free kick of 180 kilometers is a nightmare for any goalkeeper.

Although his teammates seemed to be fearless, weren't they also timid and unwilling to step forward when they lined up against the wall?

"Why don't you go to the opponent's half and form a wall? Why form a wall if you don't block the player taking the penalty?" Cervone yelled angrily.

Fuck, the human wall has turned into a fucking city gate, and no one is standing in front of it.

Seeing this, Giannini could only take the initiative to take the middle position.

When the Roma players saw this, they could only follow up and form a human wall.

These players all covered the space between their legs with their hands, which shows which head they valued more.

Dejan Lu feels a little funny.

His Lu's free kick accuracy is still reliable. Even if he may not score a goal, he has never hit the wall.

He waited for the Roma players to stand firm before placing the ball at the foul spot.

The valve is directed at himself.

Behind the left side of the retreating ball.

Roberto Mancini stood directly behind the ball but had no intention of covering.

Beep——

After the whistle sounded, Dejan Lu started to run.

Stepping forward with his left foot, the inner instep of his right foot was rubbed out.

Rub your toes under the side of the ball.

Bang——

The wall of people dispersed immediately, for fear of hitting them.

The ball quickly flew over the wall and arced straight to the left side of the goal. Cervone even had time to move before the ball got into the junction of the post and the crossbar.

3:0!

Boom - "Saint Dejan!"

San Siro Stadium There was a huge shout.

With two goals and one assist, Dejan Lu completely helped Samp win its fourth championship this season.

Four crowns!!!

Just saying this term makes me feel excited.

Who would have thought that Sampdoria would have such a day.

If it weren't for the fear of affecting the players, Samp fans would have even wanted to rush directly into the stadium to celebrate wildly.

"Another goal!!!"

"Dejan's free kick scoring rate is really exaggerated."

"It is a pity that the whole Roma team came to Milan specially. They are destined to be disappointed today."

Not long after the game restarted, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Rossi was still marveling and said, "In today's first half, Dejan sent 4 key passes and 1 assist. He and Redondo jointly contributed 101 passes, 5 interceptions, 5 steals and two successful aerial duels. The two of them in The performance of the midfield really makes the opponent despair. Every time I see Dejan playing in the midfield, I know that there will be no suspense in the game. Dejan is on the wing. The opponent can still pass through Samp's midfield, but Dejan will not give them any chance in the middle."

When the players from both sides walked towards the tunnel, they were in completely different situations.

The Roma players were all sullen.

Every Samp player is smiling.

3:0 at halftime, everyone knows that this determines the championship.

Boskov handed the towel to Dejan Lu with excitement and asked, "Are we still going to play in the second half, Dejan?"

"Just play for a while and then I'll get off the field."

Dejan Lu raised his head and glanced at the stands and said.

The Princess hasn't left Italy yet. As the host, she really should go to the box to explain football to her.

"Okay, let's play for a while."

Boskov smiled and nodded.

The home dressing room was quite noisy.

Roberto Mancini opened the prepared champagne in advance and sprayed it.

Redondo and Vialli clapped their hands and took the whole team to sing "We are the world".

The influence of Michael Jackson in this era is quite amazing.

Pezzotti asked with some concern, "The team won't lose if they are so relaxed, right?"

Boskov pointed at Dejan Lu, not even bothering to answer his words.

Pezzotti nodded.

Indeed, as long as Dejan Lu is here, you don't have to worry about these problems.

"How about we go to a Michael Jackson concert together during the holidays?"

Vialli suggested.

"Okay!"

Dejan Lu and Roberto Mancini said in unison.

There were more teammates in the locker room who responded.

If his teammates hadn't mentioned it, Dejan Lu would have forgotten about it.

It's also good to watch Michael Jackson's concert live.

When traditional records decline, there will be no superstars left in the world.

"Dejan Have you not decided where to buy a house yet?"

Redondo came over and asked.

He has long wanted to buy a house.

"I'm not optimistic yet. Let's wait until the holidays." Dejan Lu said.

He has too many things on his plate.

Occasionally, when the team is on vacation, they are either working on manuscripts or shooting commercials.

I have some free time but I still have to be squeezed by Monica.

Redondo nodded.

He mainly wants to be neighbors with Dejan Lu.

If it weren't for his father's financial resources, he would have bought a big house long ago.

Now the apartment where he lives has been bought.

As a rich second generation, he is not used to living in other people's houses.

"Isn't the boss going to replace you later? Why are you eating so many bananas?" Roberto Mancini asked in surprise.

Based on his understanding of Dejan Lu.

In a competition of this level, Dejan Lu doesn't even need to supplement.

"We must take every opponent seriously."

Dejan Lu said with a serious face.

Monica always shows amazing fighting power when he is next to the Princess.

Dejan Lu also dare not be careless.

Roberto Mancini nodded and put away his smile.

Fifteen minutes later, the Samp team walked out of the locker room again.

After leaving the door, I happened to meet the Roma players.

Their spirit and morale are good, and they really deserve to be Romans.

Giannini looked at Dejan Lu and said, "We will not give up."

"Well, come on!"

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

It seems that every opponent likes to express their determination to Dejan the Football King.

Dejan Lu always feels like they are trying to convince themselves.

Players from both sides returned to the field again.

Boskov immediately said to Chiesa, "Warm up, I will replace Dejan later."

This made Chiesa feel a little moved.

When did the coach give him a chance to warm up in advance?

Vialli kicked off the ball to Roberto Mancini.

Völler rushed directly towards Roberto Mancini.

Roberto Mancini turned around and made a diagonal pass. After it was passed, he muttered, "Damn, I thought it was Dejan."

Lombardo almost fell down while holding the ball.

He also knows that Roberto Mancini has a bad temper, but do you want to show it so obviously?

Lombardo also held a breath in his heart and rushed forward with the ball.

Want to prove myself.

Before Desideri could stretch his legs, Lombardo passed the ball and rushed over easily.

How embarrassed he is on defense and how sharp he is on offense.

Grolin will inevitably go to the side to defend.

Lombardo pressed his foot to the sideline and continued to rush forward.

The Samp players also pressed forward very quickly.

Berthold stared closely at Roberto Mancini who came to respond, but did not go up to help defend.

But Lombardo on the left didn't know what to do.

At this time, there are only Roberto Mancini and Vialli in the penalty area. The success rate of hanging into the penalty area is not high.

"Give it to me!"

Hearing Dejan Lu's voice, Lombardo turned around and immediately kicked back when he saw a familiar figure.

Grolin quickly rushed towards Dejan Lu, but Dejan Lu took the ball and ran sideways.

When Grolin was next to him, Dejan Lu had already twisted around and kicked behind the ball.

Bang——

This time the force was so strong that Dejan Lu was lifted up to relieve himself.

The ball flew directly over Aldair's head and went in. Cervone flew sideways for the first time, but the ball went straight to the extreme point on the right. The Roma goalkeeper still failed to stop the ball and could only watch the ball hanging on the right side net.

Crazy!

The second half kicked off, and Dejan Lu changed the score again.

"Dejan!!!!!"

"Goal!!!!!!!!"

"Goal!!!!!!!!"

"Dejan Goal!!!!!"

"Dejan scored another wonderful long-range shot at the kickoff of the second half and once again scored a hat trick in the final. So far, Dejan has scored a hat trick in all the finals he has participated in."

"The score of 4:0 has completely killed the game. Dejan did not give Romans any chance. In the 46th minute, he turned the remaining 44 minutes of the game into garbage time. Romans's struggle will no longer have any meaning."

"Let us congratulate Dejan and Sampdoria in advance for becoming the four-time champions of this season!!!"

Dejan Lu walked directly to the sidelines.

Boskov quickly pushed Chiesa to the fourth official and said, "Substitute, just substitute!"

"Come on, Enrico!"

Dejan Lu smiled and high-fived Chiesa before walking off the court.

"Go back and take a shower, Dejan."

Boskov said.

Dejan Lu nodded and did not refuse.

The Samp team doctor immediately got up and started covering the situation skillfully.

Everyone knows that Dejan Lu is not injured, but if a player doesn't sit on the bench, you have to have an excuse.

Otherwise, even if Italian Football Federation is willing to give you face, there will be no steps.

Dejan Lu went to the box without even changing clothes.

As soon as he entered the door, he was pushed into the corner.

Immediately after Dejan Lu, I felt a coldness in my lower body, and immediately felt hot again. Italian Cup After that, another war began.
