Later that night Dejan Lu watched the live broadcast on TV.

But at this time, the whole world doesn't seem to be that sensitive, or they don't think Balkans's situation will worsen to that point.

Dejan Lu is a little worried about Boskov.

Even though his relatives are already in Apennines, that is where he was born and grew up.

There are countless friends and classmates left there.

Maybe we will be separated forever.

It's a pity that the call couldn't be made. The old coach should be calling frantically at this time.

"What's wrong with you? Are you upset?"

Monica lay on Dejan Lu's chest and asked.

"It's okay, it's time to fight."

Dejan Lu said.

"A war in Europe?! Could it be that the Soviet Union people are coming?" Monica said in a panic, "If we had known we should have bought a house in Sicily, the Soviet Union people would not be interested in such a shabby place. It doesn't matter even if they are, dig a nuclear bomb-proof fortification. What should we do now?"

Dejan Lu:...

Soviet Union is so fucking pornographic.

Still calling.

As someone who has experienced Dejan Lu, I always find it funny, but at this time, this is how Soviet Union feels to Europe and the United States. Because of publicity, ordinary people in Europe and America think they are powerful and evil.

In American movies of this period, there are even small towns holding Soviet Union Occupation Day and other simulated occupation situations, confiscating all private property, which proves the superiority of capitalism.

Dejan Lu stroked her hair and comforted, "It's not Soviet Union, Soviet Union people won't fight, it's Balkans who is going to fight."

"Balkans, okay, that has nothing to do with us."

Monica said with a sigh of relief.

"War is always scary. Mr. Boskov may feel uncomfortable." Dejan Lu sighed.

"... Yes!"

Monica blinked and said hesitantly.

Dejan Lu called Chairman Mantovani.

The old chairman is also worried about this matter.

He always cared about everyone around him.

The two chatted for more than an hour before hanging up the phone. Monica had fallen asleep lying there.

Dejan Lu covered her with the quilt and turned on the system.

Italian Cup's victory did not bring any new rewards, but there was an unexpected reminder.

[Your good brother Paolo·Mantovani has received a gift from fate]

[Paolo·Mantovani treats the players as his family and the club staff as his own business, but his son Enrico·Mantovani is very disdainful of this approach]

[During the season, while negotiating an endorsement contract for the first team, Paolo·Mantovani got into a car accident. He had left the contract very early. If he was seriously injured or seriously ill, the assets would be taken over by Enrico. After you invited top brain experts, you finally rescued Mantovani, but control of his assets has been completely in the hands of Enrico]

[It has to be said that Enrico grew up in a family of businessmen. His business ability is no worse than his father's. Mantovani's oil company is thriving in his hands. But what Paolo·Mantovani cannot accept is that Enrico completely regards Sampdoria as his prop for business cooperation. There is nothing not for sale in his hands, as long as there are enough benefits. Two players, Roberto Mancini and Vialli, eventually left the team]

[Seeing the dynasty that they had worked so hard to build fall apart, Paolo·Mantovani was very angry. However, the hospital's initial critical illness notice did trigger his asset inheritance procedures, and he had no good solution. Although his son gave him enough living expenses, Mantovani's will became depressed]

[One day, I was watching a previous video tape and saw your speech at the Universiade. Mantovani instantly ignited hope. Yes, he can't give up yet. Since Enrico doesn't admit that he is right, he will prove it to Enrico. Paolo·Mantovani re-registered a team, called Sampierdarenese, which is the predecessor of Sampdoria. Dossena, who had just retired, announced that he would return to the green field to join Sampierdarenese. A few days later, Pari made the same decision. The two world champions once again formed a midfield partner, but this time they were in the Italy D-League]

[Team legend Hans-Peter Briggel, who was famous for refusing to wear shin guards, served as the head coach. Genoa and the city hall agreed that the team would use Ferraris Stadium, but there was a problem: there was no money. Mantovani's assets are all in the hands of his son, and the relationship between him and his son is not so rigid. He does not want to regain control through legal channels, because those assets themselves should be taken over by Enrico. At this time, the Princess and Monica came forward to inject capital into Sampierdarenese. The two people accounted for 89% of the club, Mantovani permanently obtained 1% of the club, and the fans jointly bought 10% of the voice, forming the shares of Sampierdarenese]

[At the beginning of the new season, Sampierdarenese made great progress and successfully upgraded with a crushing attitude under the leadership of two world champions. At your suggestion, Sampierdarenese introduced Luca Toni, a late-blooming striker who scored a terrifying 55 goals in a single season under the leadership of two experienced midfielders]

[Toni's performance attracted the attention of many teams, but he rejected the transfer and decided to play in the second division with the team. In this world, Sampierdarenese once again introduced Bierhoff from Ascoli. Brigel wanted to return to his family, which cast a shadow over the team's prospects. However, at your suggestion, Mantovani boldly invited Ancelotti, who had no experience. Soon Ancelotti showed great performance. With his coaching ability, he led the team to a winning streak after the winter break. In the final promotion play-offs, Bierhoff and Toni both scored headers and successfully reversed their opponents. Because of his outstanding performance in the team, Bierhoff successfully entered the German European Championship squad. He is also the only player in the squad who does not play in the top league]

[When the promotion to Class A begins, the real test has come. Pari can continue to play, but Dossena can no longer play. He decided to retire and join the coaching staff of Ancelotti, becoming Ancelotti's assistant. This summer Ronaldo moved to Barcelona, Chiesa moved to Parma, Alan Shearer went to Newcastle... these are the big signings It attracted the attention of the whole world, but the biggest impact was that a bald man who knew Genoa Spin came to Italy, and Juventus sold Vieira. However, Sampierdarenese has made many signings. In addition to buying two old players Roberto Mancini and Matracci, he also introduced Ballack from the Chemnitz period and the young player Lucio from Brazil]

[In Serie A, Sampierdarenese soon gave Serie A a bigger shock. Veteran Roberto Mancini organized the midfield, and Bierhoff in the frontcourt plus Lucio and Matracci in the backcourt made Sampierdarenese the team with the strongest header ability in Europe. In the game against Juventus, they even scored 5 headers, and the 5:5 ending with the Turin giants shocked the world. No one expected that this newly promoted team would be so powerful. The only problem was the discipline of the team. Frequent reds made Sampierdarenese go up and down. In the end, it only finished ninth at the end of the season. In the summer, Bierhoff left the team, and Sampierdarenese poached Deisler and Klose from Germany., Sampierdarenese is still not very stable this season, but the double kill of Sampdoria has given fans hope. They are more excited than winning the championship. Everyone wants to teach the arrogant Enrico·Mantovani a lesson, and German Three Horsemen also allows them to see the future]

[This performance has greatly exceeded the expectations of Paolo·Mantovani. The old chairman has also retired behind the scenes and served as the honorary chairman of the team]

[After the introduction of Rory Delap, Sampierdarenese's tactics have further evolved. This powerful hand-throwing expert can get a lot of assists every season. In such a team with many high-ball players, Delap's hand-throwing ability has been greatly utilized. Sampierdarenese can score many goals every season just by relying on set kicks. Whether it is a wealthy or relegation team, they will sound the air defense alarm when facing Sampierdarenese. Sampierdarenese also got the nickname Castle in the Sky]

[In the 2002-2003 season, Sampierdarenese finally historically qualified for the Champions League. Sampierdarenese, who participated in Champions Cup for the first time, performed well and beat the top teams all the way. However, in the semi-finals, they met the team led by you. Roberto Mancini, who has succeeded Ancelotti as the team's coach, said in an interview: I don't want to say anything depressing, but Italy's chance of ruling the earth is greater than our chance of winning. Even so, the whole team and I will go all out in the game. Even if we fail to win in the end, I will still congratulate Dejan, Fernando and his teammates, because We are family!]

[Skill acquired: Great Personality]

[Skill acquired: Turn Danger into Safety]

Dejan Lu:...

The old chairman did always say they were friends.

But Dejan Lu always thought it was just a scene talk.

I didn't expect this to be the case.

Seeing this, Dejan Lu doesn't know what to say. At least Paolo·Mantovani can survive. Is this a good thing?

As for what happened between him and Enrico's father and son, there really isn't much to say.

Dejan Lu doesn't like that guy Enrico, but the rich second generation can do a good job in the company, which is also a good thing for the old chairman.

The only problem is the asshole's attitude towards the team.

No wonder Vialli and Roberto Mancini later transferred, and Verchowod also retired from AC Milan.

After watching it carefully several times, Dejan Lu always feels that the story of this team is like United Manchester United.

Manchester United fans rebelled against Glazer's takeover of Manchester United's rebuilt team.

Considering Manchester United's subsequent situation, it can only be said that these fans are right to worry.

When those Americans made acquisitions, they used very little money to engage in leveraged loan acquisitions. In the next ten or twenty years, Manchester United not only helped them repay the loans, but also gave them a share of the profits and management salaries. The Glazer family took away tens of millions Pound Sterling from Manchester United every year.

Looking at it this way, Samp's situation is much better.

Even if Enrico·Mantovani ruined Samp, there is still Sampierdarenese to leave the fans with a message.

Skill: Great Personality - Your personality charm will infect more people. When you talk about topics such as ideals and loyalty, you can always easily impress more people and are willing to work with you for such illusory goals and radiate light and heat to your heart's content.

this skill.

I always feel like something is wrong.

Fortunately, Dejan the Football King is not such an extreme person, and he has no intention of getting into the Academy of Fine Arts, otherwise something big would happen in Europe again.

But it's not surprising that I got this skill from the old chairman.

Previously, Vialli had other teammates who would stay because of Paolo·Mantovani.

The old chairman treats everyone with the same sincerity, and the players these days are also willing to exchange sincerity for sincerity, which is why Samp has such a stable lineup.

Otherwise, the team would have been dismantled by those wealthy clubs before he even joined.

If Vialli transfers to AC Milan, there really will be no subsequent transfer of Van Basten.

Vialli's transfer fee is not cheap, and Milan will not buy two such expensive forwards.

It feels amazing to think about these things.

Seeing this, Rossoneris should thank Vialli.

Even if the team's functions are similar, Vialli is still far inferior to Van Basten in terms of enjoyment.

Skill: Turn Danger into Safety - As the leader of the brothers, you don't want to see your brothers have accidents. As your brother, you will always be luckier. When facing a huge crisis, you will only pay the minimum price and get the best results. As your good brother, as long as you don't commit suicide, you will really not die.

!!!

No wonder.

This skill is really good.

Seeing this skill, Dejan Lu immediately thought of Vialli and Boskov.

Two important members of this Samp team passed away due to illness.

But with this skill, they should be able to defeat the disease this time.

Dejan Lu even thought of a question.

The Little Prince That guy gets seriously injured before every competition.

Although I was able to catch the last train, it was a bit thrilling every time.

Whether it was European Championship in 2000 or World Cup in 2006, he made a comeback.

Now the Little Prince may not have such a thrilling recovery.

Looking at it this way, it's not an exaggeration to think that Totti would give Dejan the Football King a thumbs up.

Although everyone is about the same age.

I lay in bed for a long time before Dejan Lu fell asleep.

When Dejan Lu woke up the next day, Monica was rubbing his nose with his hair.

She always seemed to enjoy doing it.

"If you don't wake up, I'm going to do other things."

Monica said with a smile, his expression looked like a bully stealing a girl in a western movie.

"Then can I continue to sleep now?"

Dejan Lu asked with a smile.

"Disgusting!"

Monica immediately patted him on the body and said, "Finally nothing happens for two days. We can relax in London."

"Okay, you can go anywhere, as long as you want."

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

"We still need to see Fernando. I guess he should want to go to Sherlock Holmes Museum." Monica hesitated and said.

Dejan Lu smiled and patted her back.

This girl always thinks of others.

She is so beautiful, her personality is good enough to provide emotional value, she almost never loses her temper, and she is famous. If she were to be listed on Xiaohongshu, it is estimated that no one over the age of 25 and with a net worth of 100 billion or less would be worthy of saying hello to her.

After all, if they are preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and like traveling, they can make a wish. When asked about the AI, they can't find a few wishes in the whole country.

Dejan Lu got up and washed up and immediately went to knock on the door of Redondo's room.

When he opened the door, Redondo was still holding "Pokémon" in his hand.

Dejan Lu said with a smile, "If I turned a literary young man into a comic book lover, it would be a big sin."

"Your comic ideas are also very profound, and I don't think serious literature is superior to other forms of entertainment. They are just a way of expressing thoughts."

Redondo shrugged and said.

Dejan Lu gave a thumbs up.

He is indeed a good brother of the King of Land and Earth. When the Nobel Prize for Literature is awarded, remember to tell the reporters that the King of Land and Earth doesn't want it, it's not that he can't get it.

"Is there anywhere you want to go today?"

Dejan Lu asked, "Let's go out for a walk after breakfast."

"Look Monica, there are girls out there who need to consider their thoughts." Redondo said.

This is even more modest.

Dejan Lu smiled and shook his head.

But Redondo also has a good personality.

As the second generation of rich people, they are not egotistical at all. This is considered a good example of their parents' training.

"Then let's go to Apsley House. Monica should be more interesting, and then go to Sherlock Holmes Museum, which is relatively close. If you still have time, go and see River Thames at night. Although I heard that the water quality there is not very good, you have to go and see it when you come to London, right?"

Dejan Lu said.

Redondo smiled and nodded, very satisfied with this arrangement.

To a certain extent, his interests overlap with those of Monica. After all, he is a man who subscribes to fashion magazines.

The hotel's breakfast is quite rich.

Dejan Lu chose some ham and butter bread, and a cup of coffee.

Monica's breakfast is similar, but with extra yogurt.

Redondo took a vegetable bowl and sat down and said, "My doctor suggested that I eat more broccoli and carrots, but I don't like those things. I think other vegetables are about the same."

"You and Dejan really look alike, and he doesn't like eating either."

Monica said with a smile.

Watching two people chatting about fashion week, Dejan Lu picked up the newspaper.

The British media, especially print media, are quite developed, and it is not wrong to say that they are number one in the world.

The newspapers provided by the hotel cover a variety of areas.

What surprised Dejan Lu was the attitude of the British.

"The Times" clearly opposed the independence of those two countries. They wrote, "At this time, changes in the international situation will cause a lot of chain reactions. Croatia and Slovenia should remain rational. Their actions may plunge Europe into new turmoil."

Although it is brief, their attitude can be seen.

The shit stirrer really hopes that Europe can maintain a balance.

"Post": "Arsenal is paying attention to Ian Wright. This Crystal Palace striker has scored 117 goals in 253 games. Obviously Arsenal wants to increase their firepower in this way."

Before the professor came to Arsenal, Arsenal was quite wealthy.

They also have an interesting title called England Bank Team, and I don't know how they became that way.

Dejan Lu also saw news about Boban, saying that Manchester United coach Ferguson is interested in him.

I can only think about this kind of thing.

Boban You can apply for a labor certificate, but it is not easy to steal people from Milan, which is at the top of Serie A.

There is still some news about Gulf War in the newspapers. Although the war is over, the aftermath is still there.

As early as February, a British soldier accidentally started a tea boiler and caused an explosion. This incident became a laughing stock around the world. It is rare to see such unprofessional soldiers on the battlefield. Argentina people even celebrated it specially.

Also in February, 10 Downing Street also encountered shelling.

Some information about the attackers was published in newspapers.

London doesn't look too safe either.

Dejan Lu made up his mind not to go to Downing Street to join in the fun.

When he was about to watch "The Sun", Redondo said, "I heard that Diego·Diego Maradona seems to have quit, and his condition is getting better and better. It is said that it is all because of you, Dejan."

"That's why he has perseverance."

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

Diego Maradona XD It seems that this matter is really not a secret. Even Redondo, who is not a national football player, knows about it.

It would indeed be a good thing if he quit.

In this way, he will not be suspended, and the gold content of Serie A will be maintained at a relatively high level.

I'm afraid I won't be able to publish Poet He's lyrical essay about the old horse.

The two chatted for a while about the Argentina national team. Redondo glanced at "The Sun" and said, "British girls are really not as good as Italy girls!"

Dejan Lu gave a thumbs up.

He also felt the same way.

But Monica was snickering on the side.

This is no different from praising her. She is known as Flower of the Apennines.

After breakfast, the three of them left the hotel wrapped tightly in casual clothes.

"These reporters are really annoying. They always want to disturb other people's lives."

Hiding and hiding along the way, Redondo couldn't help but complain.

"Who made Dejan also very popular in the UK?" Monica said with a smile.

She didn't look angry at all, but rather seemed amused.

"If the reporters find out, don't even think about having any private time today, they will be filming the whole process." Dejan Lu complained.

Fleet Street Those reporters are so good at writing news.

Maybe even what Dejan the Football King likes to eat will be written down in the newspaper.

The three of them were walking and chatting.

Apsley House Redondo approached and said, "It is said that 8th Duke of Wellington occasionally lives here. I really wonder what it would be like to have my home turned into a museum."

"I guess it doesn't feel good."

Monica covered his mouth and snickered.

She couldn't bear the thought of so many tourists at home.

"You're right, it does feel bad."

Someone said.

The three people stopped, and the other person immediately introduced himself, "Arthur Valere Ian Wellesley, the 8th Duke of Wellington he just mentioned."

"Sorry!"

Monica said nervously.

It's never good to get caught talking about others behind their backs.

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it. Do you need me to show you the best players in Europe?" Wellesley asked.

"Okay, trouble."

Dejan Lu nodded and said.

"It's no trouble. I won a lot of money buying Sampdoria before."

Wellesley said with a smile, "I have followed your news in the newspaper before, and I thought about buying a little bit every time for fun, but I didn't expect that you have never lost in an appearance."

"It's mainly due to my teammates."

Dejan Lu said with the same smile.

"Excessive humility is the greatest pride." Wellesley said with a smile.

"Dejan itself is the greatest pride."

Redondo said.

Wellesley immediately smiled and nodded.

That's okay.

When he was at parties, he could always hear people discussing Sampdoria Number Seven.

Because there are many tourists.

The group of people just visited the side hall and then left.

Dejan Lu declined the other party's offer to accompany him, after all, we were not very familiar with each other.

He didn't care.

But Monica was obviously uncomfortable.

The name aristocrat still has considerable influence in Europe.

"They also said that British people don't seem to have any hair." Redondo said in a low voice.

After saying that, don't forget to look behind you.

For fear of being caught by the British.

"I heard it was a water quality problem. The water source was polluted in the industrial era, so that's why." Dejan Lu said.

"No wonder, even if I was given 100 million, I would not come to the UK to play football!"

Redondo said with lingering fear, touched the hat on his head and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He is very happy with his hair.

When we arrived at 221B Baker Street, we saw the long queue of tourists. Monica couldn't help but said with some disappointment, "How about we not go?"

"It's okay, look at me!"

Redondo said with a smile and walked over.

It didn't take long for him to shout, "Michael Jackson is here, at Madame Tussauds."

He shouted and ran towards the wax museum, and the tourists actually ran with him.

Monica covered his mouth and snickered again.

Dejan Lu shook her head dumbfounded. She seemed to like these things. When Dejan the Football King met her before, he would ride with her on bicycles.

After almost 20 minutes, Redondo ran back sweating profusely.

"It's a good thing you ran fast, otherwise you would have been beaten to death if you were caught."

After breathing for a few seconds, Redondo said.

Dejan Lu handed over a bottle of juice he had just bought and said, "Don't worry, I saw it in the newspaper. Michael Jackson is coming to the UK today."

"Really? Then they should thank me!"

Redondo drank half a bottle of juice in one go and asked, "Should we join in the fun?"

"Forget it."

Dejan Lu and Monica said at the same time.

Monica explained with a smile, "It's troublesome to be recognized if there are too many people, and if you don't watch him singing and dancing, what's the use of just watching him."

"You're right."

Dejan Lu nodded and said.

He understands whether you are watching a concert or a live game.

I just don't understand what the purpose of those people squatting under the hotel is. Can they be satisfied just by looking at them from a distance?

It doesn't matter if it makes you happy.

So when he meets fans, he tries his best to meet their requests.

At least let the supporters feel his heart.

There were no other tourists, so the three of them first took photos in front of the Sherlock Holmes statue, and then entered the museum directly.

The staff looked at Redondo frequently.

Apparently he recognized him as the person who took the tourists away just now.

"A very smart approach, maybe Sherlock will do the same."

The staff couldn't help but say.

Redondo said with some embarrassment, "This time it's my problem. How about I buy 50 more tickets to compensate for driving away the tourists."

"Forget it, there's no need to do that, but just don't do it next time."

the staff said.

The interior is actually not very big.

There are quite a few things on display.

In order to support each other with what is written in the book, these furnishings are designed and placed according to what is written in the novel.

If Roberto Mancini comes, I guess that guy will be very excited.

Neither Dejan Lu nor Monica are avid fans of mystery novels.

Instead, Redondo frequently asked questions to the staff.

Just as he was following the staff, Monica suddenly pulled Dejan Lu.

"What's wrong?" Dejan Lu asked.

Monica put it next to his ear and said, "I wonder if you want to experience the feeling of doing that thing at Sherlock Holmes's house..."
