Ballon d'Or!!!
Watching the replay at home, Gianluigi·Buffon just felt a burning sensation in my heart.
This is the eleventh Ballon d'Or in Italy football.
But in terms of winners, Dejan Lu is the eighth.
Platini has won it three times before, and Van Basten has won it twice.
Italy League is indeed very strong.
Except for the four major leagues, the clubs of other league winners are all in the Soviet Union area.
Super geniuses like Blokhin and Yashin.
Buffon, who comes from a sports family, knows very well how important it is to have a star teammate in team sports.
Lorenzo·Buffon told him very clearly that no matter how strong you are as a goalkeeper, you will not be able to defend yourself if you are constantly besieged.
If you don't want to concede the ball, you still need to have teammates of comparable strength.
If the teammates are stronger, then there is no point in defending and they might as well besiege the opponent's goal.
The only risk for a goalkeeper on the field is that he can easily catch a cold when the weather is cold.
This is the reason why he must go to Sampdoria.
Buffon knows that his athletic talent is good, but aren't Van Basten and Diego Maradona's athletic talents not strong? It's not like you can't win!
If you want to win, you have to team up with the strongest players!
It just so happened that the school had an early holiday because Christmas was about to arrive, so Buffon decided to embark on his journey to Genoa again.
Since his parents did not support him going directly to play football at Genoa and wanted him to receive training in his hometown, he did not receive much financial support.
But such a small difficulty cannot defeat him Gianluigi·Buffon!
"I decided to go to Sampdoria to try my luck. Don't worry."
After confirming that there was no mistake in writing, Buffon packed up his luggage and set off.
If you want to leave from Carrara, you must first go to Fiorentina.
It was convenient to go from Fiorentina to Genoa. The more than 200 kilometers of road was not even as difficult as the more than 100 kilometers from his hometown to Fiorentina.
Traveling between big cities is relatively easy.
This is not a problem for Buffon.
Tuscany produces grapes, but Carla is the origin of white marble.
Carrara marble is used in the White House, Notre Dame de Paris and the British Museum, and there are transport vehicles to and from Livorno every day, and then the marble is shipped from Livorno to the world.
The 14-year-old Buffon was standing on the roadside, imitating the movie and giving a thumbs up, hoping to hitch a ride.
Rather than going to Fiorentina, he would rather start from Livorno.
Fiorentina people won't show mercy when they rob someone because they are underage. He heard from his friends that those people at Fiorentina won't even leave you sneakers.
"Want a ride, kid?"
A driver asked after stopping his car far away, kicking up a puff of dust.
"Cough cough cough... Yes, I want to go to Livorno my grandma's house."
Buffon said.
The driver put his thick arm on the lowered window frame, looked at Buffon and warned, "Don't lie, there are quite a few people at the port who will be sold to the world. I heard that the French like to eat Italy children the most."
"I'm not afraid of this kind of story anymore."
Buffon rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Can you take me for a ride?"
"Come on up." The driver waved and said, "And don't stop the truck next time. If it fails to stop, you will be hit and killed."
"I know, thank you."
Buffon said sitting behind the passenger seat.
His family situation is not bad, and his parents have never given up on his education.
I may not be able to keep up with my studies, but I will still be polite.
With an extra companion, the driver also started chatting.
Buffon Only then did he realize that he was not trying to scare him.
There are indeed people doing this kind of business, but it's not food.
I often encounter them when running in the port every day.
There are not as many people abducted from Italy as there are people sold to Italy.
Coupled with all kinds of illegal immigrants, it's hard to tell what's going on.
This made Buffon a little more vigilant.
If I hadn't met some kind-hearted people, I might have been sold out of nowhere.
After arriving at Livorno, Buffon dutifully bought the boat ticket and boarded a private boat without looking for a bargain.
Compared with those black ships that may have been during World War II, this slightly worn cruise ship gave Buffon a luxurious feel.
It's a pity that I can't walk fast on the water.
He now wishes he could fly directly to Genoa.
There was a pair of foreign tourists making out next to them, which made Buffon couldn't help but frown.
Just kiss her if you want, and complain in return.
He hates these unqualified people the most.
Fortunately, the distance between the two places is not too far. Buffon who left in the morning arrived at Genoa in the afternoon.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the sea looks bluer than Livorno's.
After getting off the boat, Buffon stretched out towards the sea and shouted loudly, "Work hard, fight..."
His behavior attracted many tourists' attention, and they hurriedly avoided it for fear of provoking a lunatic.
Buffon doesn't care much.
Because he didn't take a black boat, he didn't have much money.
Before finding the bus stop, Buffon just bought a piece of bread in the supermarket and ate it while walking.
"Damn it!"
The bread almost fell to the ground, but luckily he had quick eyes and quick hands.
Buffon Just when he stood firm, he saw many people running wildly.
Before he could figure out what was going on, someone pulled him and ran with him.
"Stop, stop..."
the police shouted as they gave chase.
"What's going on?" Buffon, who was following him, turned his head and asked.
He immediately discovered the problem.
This is not a fucking Italy person.
He seemed to be involved in some serious incident.
This time Italy police actually chose to block people at both ends of the street and caught almost everyone.
Buffon followed them among them.
"Damn Albanians, you have donated 9 million US dollars, what else do you want?"
A policeman kicked him over and cursed.
Previously, the Italy ship docked in Albania, and 20,000 people boarded the ship to stow away. The captain had no choice but to sail back to the Italy after persuading him to no avail. Italy is not France or Germany, which is very resistant to this kind of thing.
Send him back directly.
However, under pressure from the Pope and other European countries, the monarch chose to settle the matter with $9 million.
These are the fish that slipped through the net.
There are 20,000 people fleeing everywhere, and being able to send back more than 10,000 people is already an extraordinary performance by the Italy police.
Buffon saw that the other party was a bit fierce, so he quickly raised his hand weakly and said, "I am from Italy, and my name is Gianluigi·Buffon·Masoko."
"You said you are a Italy person or a Italy person?"
The policeman said angrily, "There are many immigrants who speak Italy. You look like you are from Balkans. You may have Arab ancestry. Don't try to deceive me."
Buffon:...
Damn it, he won't play for the Albanian national team in the future, right?
He never thought about the possibility of not being selected for the national team.
At this time Buffon also regretted his rashness and sat on the ground wiping tears.
If he is sent to Albania, whether he can live well is a question.
He didn't study well and didn't care much about international politics, but Buffon knew one thing very well. No one would choose to cross the border illegally if they couldn't survive.
"He is also wearing Italy clothes."
Another old policeman tapped Buffon with the toe of his shoe and said.
"Yes, yes, I am from Italy!"
Buffon nodded vigorously and said.
"But you don't have a Genoa accent." the middle-aged policeman said.
"I'm from Carrara, and I want to go to Sampdoria to play football!" Buffon said quickly.
The policemen looked at each other and immediately laughed.
It's like they said they wanted to be United Nations Secretary General.
Is Sampdoria a team that even cats and dogs can join?
But after Buffon said this, they felt that there should be nothing wrong with this child.
Take a closer look at what the central region actually looks like.
This time it becomes difficult to handle.
If this kind of thing gets published in the newspapers, those reporters may not have anything good to say.
The old policeman calmly pulled Buffon up and asked with concern, "Did you come to Genoa by yourself?"
"Yes, I came by boat from Livorno."
"Then you must not have eaten yet. Take these bastards back and I'll treat this kid to something to eat." The old policeman said.
The others immediately nodded in agreement.
There are so many ways to do it with experience.
It was only when he took Buffon to dinner that he realized that this kid was really a player.
At this time, the old policeman slammed the table and asked, "Are you the one who often asks Sampdoria to sign your Buffon in newspapers?"
"Well, it's me, Gudu..."
Buffon, whose mouth was full of food, took a sip of water and nodded.
"Well, I happen to know the phone number of the Sampdoria club. Give them a call. They won't refuse to give you a chance to practice. You have run hundreds of kilometers yourself."
said the old policeman.
"Really?"
Buffon said in surprise, "Thank you so much!"
Christmas Before, Samp only had Juventus as its opponent.
Everyone is preparing for this game.
Before, it could be explained by the time difference and state, but when facing competitors, no one wants to lose.
I worked very hard during training.
"Everyone, come here."
Pezzotti waved and said, "The souvenirs customized by Dejan at Spain have arrived. You can come find yours."
There were staff carrying several large boxes, and the first-team players immediately surrounded them.
Exquisite!
The shop owner really put in the effort.
I actually made a micro-painted enamel disk. I'm afraid I had to find a lot of people to paint such a large area.
The most important thing is that everyone has their own image, and with Bernabéu Stadium as the background, the game process is recorded on the edge of the plate, with a huge score and the dates of the two games in the middle.
Atletico Madrid fans can be said to have used their strength to grind Real Madrid to the ground.
This thing can even be called a handicraft rather than an industrial product.
"It's so exquisite. I can put it on the fireplace. When I have children in the future, I will tell them that we defeated Real Madrid." Vialli said, already choosing the style and color of the bracket in his mind.
With silver products, it is better to use solid wood brackets.
"You only have one thing worth showing off."
Roberto Mancini complained.
"Idiot, I am also the World Cup champion!"
Vialli said angrily.
This guy can't speak with his brain. Even if he wants to attack others, he must be realistic.
"World Cup is the best performer from me and Baggio. The best performer from Real Madrid is Dejan. You just make up the numbers." Roberto Mancini said.
The two quarreled again.
"Did you hear that there is a young man coming to the youth team?"
Pagliuca said with a smile, "I heard he has good talent and is a goalkeeper. I have to be careful."
"You mean the kid who ran over here?"
Pari asked.
"Yes, that's him."
Pagliuca nodded and said.
Samp is now famous, and many children want to join the Samp youth team.
But I came to Genoa from other places.
"His parents are too irresponsible." Dejan Lu frowned and said, "What if something happens?"
If you have time, you should write a reminder in the newspaper and you must be accompanied by a parent.
Italy The public security during this period is ten times less than the domestic chaos in the same period. Those Calabria and Sicilians are in the final stage of madness.
"He ran out secretly. The young man is quite interesting."
Pagliuca said, "I heard that his grandfather seems to be AC Milan that Lorenzo·Buffon."
"Who?"
Dejan Lu asked with wide eyes.
"Buffon, what's that kid's name Buffon." Pagliuca said.
Dejan Lu:...
Damn it.
The young general himself delivered it to his door.
Things suddenly became interesting.
Buffon is the legendary goalkeeper of Juventus.
The next opponent is Juventus.
They didn't know that the dragon's veins were fucking broken before the game.
A good and consistent goalkeeper is so rare.
The young player himself has outlasted several generations of Italy goalkeepers, and it is not easy to find a replacement.
Even when other goalkeepers perform well, he is still among the top three in the world, and his long standby time is even more terrifying. Even people like Neuer cannot survive him.
"Dejan, he is your fan."
Pagliuca joked, "Remember to ask him to save some face for me when the time comes."
He was more relaxed when he said this.
Goalkeepers generally have to be in their 20s before they can establish themselves.
By the time Buffon is in his 20s, he will be at the end of his career.
"I will meet him when I have time."
Dejan Lu said.
I had seen Buffon recommending himself in the newspaper before, but I didn't expect that he would actually come to Samp.
The young player has also put in a lot of effort to become teammates with Dejan the Football King.
Life is so amazing sometimes.
Dejan Lu decided to ask Totti if he wants to transfer when he has time.
Why.
If De Rossi knew what Dejan the Football King had done, he would be his godfather.
December 20th.
Ferraris Stadium.
Sampdoria ushered in the last game of 1991.
As soon as they arrived at the stadium, security helped fend off the fans.
Dejan Lu went directly to the press conference with Boskov.
The Juventus coach is no longer Maifredi, but the previous Inter Milan coach Trapattoni.
The current No. 1 coach at Italy has changed positions and is still coaching at Northern Three Powers.
As Boskov and Dejan Lu took their seats, the reporters couldn't wait to ask questions.
"Dejan, do you have anything to say after getting Ballon d'Or?"
"Will Ballon d'Or be shown today?"
"Who do you think the next Ballon d'Or in Italy football will be? Will it be a Italy player?"
"Giovanni, it is said that you and Antonio·Conte have conflicts, is that true?"
"Mr. Boskov, will you recruit people in winter?"
"..."
Reporters are obviously very interested in Ballon d'Or.
Even though Italy has continued Ballon d'Or over the years, Dejan Lu is still the first player to get Ballon d'Or besides Northern Three Powers.
Dejan Lu looked at Boskov, and Boskov motioned for him to answer first.
Reporters clearly showed little interest in the two coaches.
Dejan Lu nodded and took the microphone and said, "I have finished what I want to say. Thank you to my teammates and fans for their support. The most important thing is to thank my girlfriend for their company."
"Them?"
A reporter keenly noticed the problem, raised his hand and asked, "Do you have other girlfriends?"
The two coaches also looked at Dejan Lu with interest, and Boskov didn't even know about it.
"Of course, I don't deny it."
Dejan Lu said.
"Can you tell me her name?" a reporter asked.
"Not yet, because she is a star, and as you know, this will have an impact on her career." Dejan Lu said with a wink.
He can guarantee that tomorrow Italy's newspaper and "The Sun" will change several of the stars Dejan the Football King has seen.
They certainly wouldn't have guessed it was spring water.
"Can you tell me which Italy player you think can get Ballon d'Or?" a reporter asked.
"Baggio, Paolo Maldini, currently they are the two most promising."
Dejan Lu said.
"Do you think a defender can get Ballon d'Or? But now no defender has got it except Beckenbauer. He is a free agent?" the reporter asked.
This is big news.
"No non-European player has won Ballon d'Or before me. As long as you work hard, you can definitely do it. I believe Paolo can." Dejan Lu said with a smile.
The reporters nodded along.
Dejan Lu and Paolo Maldini have a really good relationship.
Trapattoni glanced at Dejan Lu and felt that there was something else in this sentence.
But it has nothing to do with him.
After answering a few more questions, Dejan Lu pushed the microphone away.
Trapattoni emphasized the harmonious relationship between him and his players.
When walking back, Boskov reminded, "There is a trophy display before the warm-up. The fans attach great importance to this matter. You should think about what you are going to say in advance."
"Yes, Coach."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
Boskov shook his head.
The team's Number Seven doesn't need him to worry about this at all.
Dejan Lu opens the system selection lottery.
[Your good brother Roberto·Baggio doesn't like to express his own opinions. Even when he is wronged, he will only play football silently, so we selected an outstanding player who is very good at expressing himself. Ding, get the 1985 Toyota Cup, Juventus VS Boca Juniors, Míchel·Platini single game experience card]
Damn it.
A great player, a dirty politician.
Even Lothar Matthäus will not receive such extreme evaluation after retirement.
Platini really hurt football for profit after retiring.
But as a player, he was very good. He was the best Number 9.5 at that time.
It seems that the Italy league always has great Number 9.5, maybe this has something to do with the style of the league.
And another very important point is that Number 9.5 during this period all had excellent long-passing abilities. Platini, Diego Maradona, Zico... would often use wonderful long passes to assist teammates.
Modern attacking midfielders lack this ability.
"Dejan, get ready."
A staff member came over to remind me.
"Okay."
Dejan Lu put on the receiving jersey directly in the tunnel, and then walked out of the player tunnel.
As Dejan Lu walked out of the tunnel step by step, Ferraris Stadium's DJ shouted passionately, "Let us welcome the first Mr. Golden Ball in the history of the team!"
Boom——
"Saint Dejan!"
"Saint Dejan!"
"Saint Dejan!"
Ferraris Stadium gave a loud cheer.
In terms of his contribution to the team, Dejan Lu deserves any praise they receive.
After entering the stadium, Dejan Lu looked around the stadium and kept applauding in the stands.
After walking around for a while, I took the Ballon d'Or trophy from Mantovani's hand and raised it high.
The stadium was boiling again.
Genoa fans can hear Ferraris Stadium's voice even at home.
This was a grand occasion that they had never dreamed of.
A Mr. Golden Ball!
Mantovani hugged Dejan Lu and said emotionally, "Thank you, thank you, Dejan!"
Dejan Lu patted his back and sent the old chairman to the passage.
Then he took the microphone from the staff.
Dejan Lu said, "I said when I presented the award, football is nothing without fans..."
Boom——
Ferraris Stadium became enthusiastic again.
Dejan Lu pressed down his palms several times in succession, and the scene became quieter.
He continued, "Many people are eager to stand on such an occasion, and of course I am the same, but when I get it, I think more about you, everyone in the club, my teammates, my girlfriends... Your support is the most important, otherwise even if you win the award, it will be meaningless. In the next season, we will continue to work hard to win more championships!"
"Champion, Dejan!!!"
"Champion, Dejan!!!"
"Champion, Dejan!!!"
Dejan Lu smiled and waved his hand and returned to the tunnel, joining his teammates to prepare for the warm-up.
"Can you still play?" Roberto Mancini asked curiously, "If you do, I will definitely not be able to calm down."
"It's been a few days since I won the award, so I'm not that excited."
Dejan Lu said.
Roberto Mancini glanced at the trophy that the staff was taking away with some envy.
It is impossible to say that I have never thought about winning a prize.
Almost every professional player has dreamed of such a moment when they were young and promoted to the first team.
But Ballon d'Or is just a competition of super geniuses after all.
Even if he is already a genius, he is still not qualified.
Roberto Mancini shook his head, took off the armband and helped Dejan Lu put it on his left arm.
During the warm-up, Dejan Lu was the focus of Juventus players' attention.
Baggio couldn't help but feel envious.
Ballon d'Or, who wouldn't want it?
Häßler, who has already mastered Italian language, said, "Today our opponent is Mr. Golden Ball."
Baggio said nothing.
Marocchi curled his lips and said, "Van Basten is still Mr. Golden Ball, he also lost to us."
Baggio almost couldn't help but curse.
Dejan Lu Have you ever beaten others when you didn't win the gold ball?
Fortunately, he didn't have to listen to his teammates' nonsense anymore after the warm-up.
"Today is really a good day worth remembering. I always knew that Dejan would get Ballon d'Or, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."
"Yes, the World Football Federation has also announced that it will award an award to World Footballer of the Year founded by them on the last day of this year. I am very optimistic that Dejan will win this newly born award."
"If you don't give it to Dejan, it's a shady case." Rossi said.
"Ahem... let's take a look at both sides' starters first."
Sampdoria 4-4-2 double central midfield:
Goalkeeper: Pagliuca,
Defenders: Lanna, Verchowod, Matracci, Mannini,
Midfielder: Dejan Lu, Redondo, Dossena, Lombardo,
Forwards: Roberto Mancini, Vialli.
Juventus 352 single front waist and double back waist:
Goalkeeper: Tacconi,
Defenders: Cesar, Massimo Carrera, Jurgen Kohler,
Midfielder: De Agostini, Antonio·Conte, Roberto·Baggio, Marocchi, Häßler,
Forwards: Pierluigi Casiraghi, Di Canio.
"Schillaci's status fluctuated greatly this season and he has been reduced to a substitute. His position was replaced by Casiraghi."
"Sampdoria tied with Foggia in the last game. Juventus still has some chances today. I meant to tie."
"Maybe, but I'm not optimistic about them."
Dejan Lu walked to the center circle holding the team flag.
Tacconi immediately smiled and said after seeing Dejan Lu: "It's just a game, you don't need to play too hard, right?"
"Score?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"What I mean is..." Tacconi gestured and said, "Control your power, many goalkeepers are afraid to see you."
"I don't mean to hurt others, and I won't kick others on purpose."
Dejan Lu said.
Tacconi nodded, feeling relieved.
Blocking a shot and going straight to the ambulance is quite a deterrent to any defensive player.
It's just football, it won't kill you.
"Who comes first?" referee Loris Staffoggia asked.
Tacconi immediately said, "Let Dejan go first."
"Human head." Dejan Lu said.
After throwing it away, Staffoja spread his hands and said, "Heads, Sampdoria choose first."
"The venue."
Dejan Lu said.
Kick-off was around 1pm, and the sun still had some influence.
But because there is no sunset, there will be no situation where both halves suffer.
At 1:30, Staffoja blew the opening whistle on time.
Buffon, who was sitting in the stands, could not conceal his excitement. This was his first time watching the game as a member of the Sampdoria youth team.
I suffered so much for this matter before.
After his parents found out that he went to Genoa and successfully signed the contract, they immediately suspected that he was a liar.
After confirming that he signed the contract, they suspected that he wanted to play football at Genoa to avoid studying.
In short, he really paid too much for football.
Next comes the harvest period.
He will be 14 years old soon and 16 years later in two years. He will be promoted to the first team at the age of 16. When the first team goalkeeper is not in good condition, he will get a chance. When the time comes, Pagliuca will be firmly pressed on the bench. His Gianluigi·Buffon era is coming!
At this time Buffon wishes it could grow faster.
A year later to be promoted to the first team would be a year later to win the championship.
Although the two teams were facing off on the field, Buffon felt that Sampdoria had the upper hand.
Baggio encountered a very tight defense when he got the ball.
Redondo didn't give any face at all, and directly confronted him physically.
He couldn't get rid of it at the first time, but soon Baggio realized that he was in trouble. He quickly turned around and kicked the ball back.
Conte takes the ball and runs to the right.
The defense in the middle is too tight.
Damn it?!
Dejan Lu, who had just returned to the half court, saw the second idiot and immediately started chasing him.
To be honest, he was still not used to seeing Conte playing football.
This guy did too many tricks when he was a coach.
However, Conte's body was very hard, and there was half a head difference between the two of them. Dejan Lu immediately got up to fight, but Conte was stunned to carry him forward.
But it's no use.
Squeezed on the sidelines, that's Lanna's territory.
Lanna rushed up and made a sliding tackle, teaching Conte, who had recently transferred to Juventus, a valuable life lesson.
The ball was shoveled behind Conte.
Offensive and defensive exchanges.
Conte subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Dejan Lu. The cost of a frontcourt foul was negligible.
But Dejan Lu was faster than he wanted. He went up to get the ball and rushed forward.
"Be careful and get back to me!!!"
Trapattoni shouted from the sidelines.
As a coach who likes to squat, he is quite excited when he stands up.
Fortunately, Juventus did not press too deeply this time, and the players returned to defense very quickly.
Dejan Lu advanced the ball to the frontcourt and immediately stopped.
Midfielders and defenders.
Juventus has quite a few defensive players.
Redondo can also pull back to prepare for Dejan Lu's return.
But at this moment, Dejan Lu kicked his right foot forward and started directly.
Snap——
The ball flew out hard.
Mistake?
At this time, Marocchi's eyes widened. The ball actually hit the side of his lower abdomen and bounced to the left.
Just found Roberto Mancini.
Juventus' defensive players were stunned.
If it weren't for the competition, they would all want to applaud Dejan Lu.
He actually chose to use the opponent's body to pass the ball and successfully broke the game.
Roberto Mancini reacted quickly. He immediately turned around and picked the ball into the penalty area. Dejan Lu, who rushed into the penalty area, was tripped by the impact of Tacconi, but he did not fall to the ground.
He stumbled and took two steps forward. When he was close to the sideline, he stabilized his center of gravity and immediately kicked sideways.
Bang——
The ball got into the goal cleanly.
Small angle!
"Dejan!!!"
"Dejan Goal!"
"Dejan started the game again and helped Sampdoria take the lead."
"The ball started from Lanna's tackle. Dejan drove the ball all the way to the Juventus penalty area. When passing it to Roberto Mancini, he used the opponent's body. It is even more amazing for Dejan's imagination. Perhaps only the sky is his limit!"
Boom——
Ahhhh...
Buffon also joined the enthusiastic fans, stood up and frantically vented his excitement.
The game on the field today is his bright future tomorrow. He Gianluigi·Buffon is a man destined to become a championship goalkeeper!
