Capello in front of the TV looked at Dejan Lu's goal and nodded fiercely.

He became more and more convinced of his previous thoughts.

If there is no problem, why can a player have such a variety of styles?

witchcraft!

The performer should not be Dejan Lu.

After all, reporters often followed him and never found any problems.

Looking down at Dejan Lu's biography, Capello had an idea.

Dejan Lu only broke out after his uncle passed away.

So his uncle was not shipwrecked, but sacrificed himself to get Dejan Lu's talent.

It makes sense to think so.

Maybe his uncle was seriously ill and wanted to do more for his nephew at this time.

"An elder worthy of respect."

Capello nodded, pushed his glasses hard with his middle finger and said.

If he was seriously ill and knew such a method, he would also sell his soul to let Laura live a good life.

He later resigned from coaching Zhang Gongzi's Suning because he missed his wife.

In the colorful world of football, Capello can be considered a love interest.

Next, he will carefully study what methods Dejan Lu's uncle used.

"Shit!"

"Shit!"

Arsenal fans shouted to the pitch.

They can accept that the team plays ugly, but they cannot accept that the team loses the ball so quickly.

It's a shame they believed the nonsense about Graham's 210-minute defense.

Graham stood on the sidelines with a livid face.

His results are still very good.

The problem is that his learning ability is not strong.

Among the Scotland coaches, Ferguson, Busby and Shankly are the strongest.

Jock Stein and Dalglish are next.

Graham and Sir Alex Ferguson are almost the same if they sit at the same table.

Arsenal's defense during this period had a fatal flaw, which was the lack of positional awareness.

It relies more on the players to fight.

The integrity of the defensive line depends more on the tacit understanding of the players than on an effective tactic.

This is also mainly because British football is out of touch with the world.

This shortcoming is infinitely magnified in the fast-paced passing of Sampdoria. Before your players can find a one-on-one opportunity, the ball is passed away.

It can't really be like what the reporter ridiculed, using wood-cutting tactics without the ball and winning the game by knocking down all the opponents.

Similar thoughts kept popping up in Graham's mind.

But that's the problem.

He couldn't find a solution.

The championship coach stood on the sidelines and kept pacing, no longer watching the game on the court.

I'm thinking about adding an extra midfielder.

This may make it more difficult for Sampdoria to bring the ball to the penalty area.

But another problem is that the team is not familiar with such tactics.

This cannot be solved by changing one, the running and passing systems will change.

A team that plays 442 cannot suddenly play 451.

Thinking of this, Graham still resisted the idea.

You may lose if you continue to play like this, but unfamiliar tactics will make the team lose even worse.

His players on the field were also in trouble.

The ground cooperation cannot pass the level of Redondo and Pari. Their cooperation is too simple and direct.

The accuracy of the long pass is not enough. Paolo·Merson, who is the best passer, needs to be at 45 degrees in the frontcourt to send the most comfortable pass, but Sampdoria does not give them that chance.

Paolo Davis was pressed by Redondo after receiving the ball in midfield.

He is a rare black technical player with good free kick ability.

My body is okay too.

But it's not enough in front of Redondo.

Redondo saw the right moment, took a long stride and opened his arms to directly isolate Davis from the ball. The opponent immediately wanted to push Redondo down but failed.

Redondo adjusted his center of gravity and moved over. He held the ball and stuck the opponent behind him.

stunned!

Arsenal fans didn't expect anything like this.

This is simply a shame for their Premier League logging team.

It doesn't matter if he can't compete technically, but the physical confrontation was easily handled by others.

Redondo This unconventional defensive action did not even take Davis into consideration.

Redondo, who got the ball, immediately split the ball and gave it to Lanna, who was penetrating forward.

Lanna once again showed terrifying explosive power. If he was not born in Italy and this era when wingers are scarce, he should be trained as a winger.

Limpar followed Dejan Lu, and Li Dixon could only rush towards Lanna.

Dixon knew that the speed could not keep up, so he was prepared to tackle in advance.

While running, Dixon's focus was on a sliding tackle. The tackle was fast and hard, but Lanna knocked the ball forward and jumped over the opponent to avoid the kick.

Dixon quickly raised his leg and tripped Lanna. Lanna supported the turf with both hands and stood up with his center of gravity steady.

Adams had already taken the opportunity to come over to defend, and Lanna, who got the ball again, quickly kicked it horizontally.

Redondo!

Redondo, who was unguarded, took the ball and waited for a moment, waiting for Dejan Lu to continue advancing.

Davis, who originally wanted to take off his defense, saw Rocastle passing by and chose to follow Dejan Lu back to the penalty area.

Redondo passed the ball between two people.

Davis, who was sideways, quickly adjusted, but Dejan Lu stopped the ball very easily, and then moved to the right with a flick of his left foot.

Damn it!

So flexible.

Davis finally adjusted his center of gravity before starting, and saw that Dejan Lu had twisted around and raised his right foot.

Developing strength so quickly?

Fortunately, he has the flexibility unique to black people, so he directly chose to spread his legs and do splits, trying to block Dejan Lu's shot.

Bang——

Davis was lucky. The ball hit the ground faster than him and passed directly between his legs. He opened his legs and stopped in front of Dejan Lu.

Seaman I know intuitively that it is not good.

The actions of his teammates affected his vision. When he found that the ball went straight to the left side of the goal, he had no time to save it. He only moved his steps and turned his head to watch the ball roll into the goal.

The classic counterattack after a midfield steal is still a team goal.

Compared with passing and receiving in a small area, this is more of a display of personal skills.

But the whole Italy remembered the name Paolo Davis.

Rossi didn't even talk about scoring a goal, but was feeling emotional.

"Davis, Paul Davies!"

"This black player, who has played more than 270 times for Arsenal since 1977, has extraordinary courage and actually chose to block Dejan's shot in this way. I can guarantee that if Dejan had been slower and more ruthless this time, Davis would not have been able to save his pee even if he went to the hospital."

"God, I don't know whether I should call him ignorant or fearless, but this performance still won my respect. At least I didn't dare to block Dejan's shot like this. Maybe no one in Italy would do that."

Many fans in front of the TV were nodding.

Every time Dejan Lu takes a free kick, the opponent's wall covers them. Don't you know what's going on?

This Davis actually took the initiative to open his legs to block it. What, you don't want it anymore?

Even though they all felt that Davis probably didn't understand that Dejan Lu's shot was exaggerated, people couldn't help but be amazed by this move.

It would be fun if Dejan Lu didn't shoot so quickly this time.

The Arsenal academy product became one of the most impressive players in the game today.

Even when the Sampdoria players came up to celebrate, they couldn't help but look at it again and again, as if they had seen something strange.

"That guy doesn't know, does he?"

"Absolutely!"

"Hey, it was almost, what a pity..."

"Idiot, do you want to see Dejan kill someone?"

When the Samp players discussed it, Davis looked confused.

Why has it become the focus of the opponent's attention?

Is it because his defense was better this time?

Seaman glanced at his teammate, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done."

Davis nodded.

Indeed it is.

Seaman couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Senior Hilton is a loyal fan of Dejan Lu, so he followed Dejan Lu.

As a goalkeeper, he is very sensitive to shots at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour.

When he thought of this, he decided not to remind Davis.

It is a good thing for him to have such a heroic teammate.

Li·Dixon stood on the sidelines with his teeth bared and never returned to his position.

He will perform better on the offensive end, and today he completely suppressed his characteristics for defense.

The key is that he still can't prevent it, which is what he can't accept the most.

Dixon waved to Adams and said, "This can't continue, we will be defeated."

Toni·Adams nodded.

He also saw that his teammates had nothing to do with this team from Italy.

Adams posted over and said, "Then we have other ways. If our opponent is not on the court, we will win."

Dixon nodded, he also meant the same thing.

Give Sampdoria a little strength.

You can't be an expert in civil war and an outsider in foreign war. You can only be ruthless when facing the English First Division team.

Arsenal are not that kind of team.

He was ruthless when facing the English First Division team, and even more damn ruthless when facing foreign teams!

After playing for such a long time, I have somewhat figured out the referee's standards. In addition, being 3 goals behind, as long as it is not too excessive, the referee should not take any action.

As soon as the two people combined, they conveyed this idea to their teammates.

There's a reason they're called the logging crew by reporters.

Kevin·Campbell knocked horizontally, and Alan·Smith quickly returned the ball.

Paolo·Merson also learned the lesson this time and no longer tried to dribble the ball, but gave it to Paolo·Davis immediately.

Davis just got the ball and wanted to move forward.

Boskov couldn't help but shake his head on the sidelines.

Even against opponents, he still felt that Arsenal's players were not fully exploiting their potential.

Even if Sampdoria and Italy teams don't have Redondo, teams generally won't be too anxious to attack, and turnovers in the backcourt are common.

Arsenal obviously couldn't control the rhythm.

If you don't move forward with the ball, you won't be able to kick it.

Such an opponent is the easiest for Sampdoria.

After all, a wave of defense is an opportunity to counterattack, and Sampdoria is not afraid of any team when it comes to offensive quality.

Davis was pressed by Pari. He wanted to force a breakthrough, but he didn't expect that Pari moved very quickly and kept stretching his feet to steal the ball without turning his center of gravity.

This left him with absolutely no chance.

After trying to start the ball without success, he immediately handed the ball to Paolo·Merson who was penetrating forward.

Dossena was very determined to grab the ball, and Merson immediately raised his left foot upon seeing this.

Long pass?

Dossena quickly blocked the ball sideways, but at this time Merson knocked the ball and rushed over.

Scammed!

At this time Dossena can only chase back.

Fortunately, the defense of Mannini behind him is very reassuring.

Merson obviously also knew how difficult Samp's defensive players were. He only took a few meters out and immediately raised his arm and kicked out, making a 45-degree cross!

Matracci was stuck by Alan Smith, and the ball was removed by the opponent's chest.

Kevin·Campbell took the ball and hit the penalty area with a low shot, which was blocked by Pagliuca.

Roar——

Pagliuca stood up and raised his arms.

After such a long start, he finally got a chance to perform.

There was a commotion in the stands.

Many Arsenal fans are already looking forward to it.

Their team is very good at heading the ball, and several defenders have good scoring ability.

A corner kick is the best chance.

The Arsenal players rushed towards the Sampdoria penalty area with a roar, leaving only two defensive players in the backcourt.

This is a very risky move.

Paolo·Merson walked towards the corner flag area.

"You don't have to come back, Dejan."

Verchowod pushed Dejan Lu away and said.

The core of other teams does not need to defend. Dejan Lu has already taken the initiative to take on some defensive tasks in positional battles. When setting the ball and returning to the penalty area, what do the defenders like them do?

Dejan Lu smiled and shook his head and chose a spot.

Be prepared to launch a counterattack.

Merson drove the ball towards the center of the penalty area after a run-up. This uninterrupted cross was very accurate. The pass was fast and accurate, without giving any chance to the defensive player in front.

Toni·Adams and Verchowod took off almost at the same time.

But Verchowod is less than 1.8 meters tall, and Adams is a full 1.91 meters tall. Even if he was affected while standing behind Verchowod, his take-off height was also higher.

Adams pushed the ball out with a flick of his head. Fortunately, the angle was relatively straight. Pagliuca raised his hands to block the ball from his chest.

The penalty area instantly fell into chaos.

Verchowod, who landed faster, turned around and wanted to pass the ball out, but was stopped by Winterburn with his foot.

When Wenger Bourne was adjusting, the ball was hooked away by Pari's foot.

The full-back simply chose to fall to the ground and reach out to the referee. Unfortunately, the referee just waved his hand and did not give a penalty kick.

Before Pari could pass the ball, Alan Smith reached out from behind and knocked down Pari.

Beep——

The referee finally blew his whistle.

Pari did not cause trouble for the opponent and got up to take the kick. However, at this time, he was harassed by Kevin·Campbell. He was not given a chance to take a free kick quickly and could only watch the Arsenal players run back.

"Next time someone falls to the ground, don't worry, you just kick off."

Pari said to Matracci.

That sounds good to my teammates, but can you please stop raising your arms and prepare for a fight? Why don't we start the fight quickly?

He missed several opportunities because of this, and he couldn't help but remind Matracci.

Matracci chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

He received too much care from everyone in the first team, and he always looked for opportunities to help the Big Brothers.

Do something to repay your teammates.

Matracci took advantage of the situation and gave the ball to Pari, and Pari passed it forward to Dejan Lu.

Anyway, the opportunity is lost, so just take your time.

What Pari didn't expect was that Dejan Lu actually chose to dribble the ball directly.

Paolo Davis rushed up and made another one-foot tackle. His foot scraped the ball. Dejan Lu still managed to get the ball and rush over, but he staggered a little.

Li·Dixon, who was still in the center circle, didn't run back as if he was dead. Damn it, he was going to attack!

Redondo took the ball and turned around. When he saw Dejan Lu standing firm, he knocked the inside of his foot and gave the ball to Dejan Lu again.

David·Rocastle made it clear from the start that he was going to shovel, and there was no concealment in his actions.

This is also a common practice among British players, using spikes to intimidate opponents during games.

Bang——

Just after crossing the center line, Dejan Lu pointed his toes behind the ball.

This pass was so extreme that it rolled out against Rocastle's left leg. Dejan Lu could only jump up quickly to avoid the opponent's spikes.

But danger always comes with opportunity.

It was precisely because he saw his teammates that Dejan Lu chose to take risks and pass the ball instead of passing through.

The ball rolled quickly to the left against the turf. Before Dixon could return to his position, the ball was passed directly in front of Roberto Mancini.

Roberto Mancini is Dixon on the left, and Adams is slightly behind on the right.

Bould fell even further behind and simply chose to reach out to indicate offside.

It's too far, I can't run back!

But the linesman couldn't call it, Roberto Mancini was not offside at all when it started.

Farke!

Adams gritted his teeth and rushed back, trying to squeeze Roberto Mancini and interfere with the opponent's ball.

Standing over 1.9 meters tall, he ran like a heavy tank. Even Roberto Mancini was surprised by his opponent's speed.

So slow!

However, the ball was given to the front. He didn't even need to adjust his cadence or pace when he got the ball, and he just took advantage of the situation and entered the penalty area.

With just such a moment's pause, Adams found the opportunity to stick to his side.

Unfortunately, it was just a little short. The moment Adams stretched out his foot, Roberto Mancini had already raised his foot to shoot. The ball went directly past the near point and rolled into the far corner of the goal.

"4:0!!!"

"Roberto·Roberto Mancini!!!"

"Dejan scored a hat trick of assists in this game!"

"Arsenal players deliberately committed fouls to delay Sampdoria's counterattack, but it had no effect. When they thought it was safe, Dejan only advanced the ball less than 15 meters and sent a fatal pass, completely shattering Arsenal's plan."

"One pass makes three defenders useless. This is Dejan. When he wants to pass the ball to his teammates, he can always use his feet to turn opportunities that are not opportunities into opportunities. I want to correct my previous statement. If I am on the same team with Dejan, I can score 80 goals a season."

"When you only need to counter offside and advance forward to get a one-on-one ball, then everything will become simple. I even suspect that a player who is very good at countering offside will become the greatest shooter in European football next to Dejan."

Isn't this just talking about him?

Filippo·Inzaghi's eyes widened.

Rossi is obviously talking about him.

The 18-year-old Inzaghi has just been promoted to the Piacenza first team, and was praised by the coach for his keen sense of smell. Although he has not scored yet, he has reached the opponent's defensive space several times.

It's just that his teammates don't believe him.

Inzaghi had never thought about this problem before.

But as soon as Rossi said it, he became interested.

Instead of trying to please these second-tier first-team players who have little strength, it is better to find an opportunity to play with Dejan Lu, so that he can maximize his characteristics.

Although he has not scored a goal in the professional league yet, Inzaghi believes that if he and Dejan Lu team up, he will definitely become a good shooter.

He can do what Roberto Mancini can do.

As for how to join Sampdoria, the newspaper has already given the answer.

Inzaghi looked at the newspaper in front of him. On it, a teenager was holding a football and grinning. The headline of the newspaper was "Gianluigi·Buffon realized his dream and successfully joined the Sampdoria youth team..."

"Arsenal has no chance."

"Yes, Arsenal didn't have any power to fight back today."

Martin·Taylor nodded and said.

"The main reason is that their tactics are too rough and they cannot attack effectively in front of Sampdoria."

"Yes, although Alan Smith has a height advantage, he cannot deal with all Sampdoria's defenders alone. Arsenal's crosses cannot find him accurately every time."

Two commentators who are familiar with Arsenal easily pointed out the team's plight.

They all let the ball fly in the sky, so it depends on how it flies.

Arsenal's players are better at crosses from the wing, supplemented by Merson's 45-degree crosses, bombarding their opponents.

Those defenders who come up to assist have good scoring ability.

Even if Alan Smith is targeted, they can still find an opportunity.

The biggest problem now is that Arsenal cannot hold the ball in the frontcourt.

Sampdoria doesn't give them that chance at all.

Occasionally, there is no time to adjust when a breakthrough passes. Unless the opponent is really following the opponent's block, they still cannot kick the ball according to their most accustomed routine.

This resulted in Arsenal's last threatening attack today being the previous corner kick.

Almost every organization was successfully resolved by Sampdoria.

Four goals conceded also left the Arsenal players a bit overwhelmed.

Even if they have a strong heart and a tough character, their mentality is a little broken at this time.

In English First Division they only conceded four goals in five games or more.

The first half is not over yet.

"Hold on! Toni, let them cheer me up. This is not something that can be solved by giving up. We must let the fans see us fighting."

Graham shouted to the field.

As a Scotland person, I have a side that refuses to admit defeat.

This is also the reason for the blowout of coach Scotland.

Playing football is more about talent than coaching. If you don't have talent, you can't do anything. But if you want to be a coach, even if your talent is a bit lacking, you can make up for it with hard work.

Obviously Scotland coach has such persistence.

Adams went over and pulled Bould up and shouted, "You have also heard what the leader said. You have to finish the game no matter what, so you better cheer up."

"Toni is right, we must give them some color!"

Li·Dixon shouted.

As a defender with a knife, I feel very frustrated having to defend today.

He can also transform into a machete defender, specializing in logging opponents.

Otherwise, Arsenal at this time is like Roma. They have a ruffian spirit in their bones, which is completely different from the Arsenal after Vieira left.

"It's really difficult."

Roberto Mancini couldn't help but say while watching his opponent shouting at halftime.

"Putting aside their abilities, they are indeed opponents worthy of respect."

Vialli nodded and said.

"Your skills are not much better." Roberto Mancini complained.

"Asshole, I am fucking number nine, you are idiot number ten, you are like a maggot compared to Diego Maradona." Vialli turned around and cursed angrily.

"Compared to Van Basten, you are like a stink bug. You stink even if you stand here." Roberto Mancini shot back.

"Then you're shit!"

"Shut up, you wild boar..."

Dossena shrugged at Dejan Lu on the right.

Watching two idiots fight every game.

Dejan Lu nodded helplessly.

I feel in my heart that Italy's curse words are really civilized.

If a random Zaun player were to come over, the striker duo would be able to stop talking and take action in a matter of minutes.

The Arsenal players returned to their positions, and Vialli and Roberto Mancini were still arguing.

They didn't know what was going on, Italy people started arguing among themselves.

Paolo·Merson and his teammates all looked excited.

Seeing Anders Limpar with a smile on his face, Dejan Lu couldn't help but shake his head.

You are a simple opponent, you thought Sampdoria was having internal strife, right?

It seems that the bickering between the Haier brothers is not without effect, at least it will make their opponents careless.

This is also a way to confuse opponents.

Smith quickly gave the ball to Campbell, and Campbell immediately took the ball and pulled over to find Dejan Lu.

After playing for such a long time, he also discovered that the defense on Dejan Lu's side is relatively weak.

"It's time for me to appear."

Lanna licked his lips and said.

Verchowod quickly suppressed his laughter.

Is this kid going to shout slogans and tackle football again?

However, Campbell obviously had no intention of holding the ball for a long time. When Limpar came up, he immediately passed the ball and asked Limpar to take the ball to the center.

Limpar, who has been defending Dejan Lu, feels very good.

He is a player with good skills no matter what, and he is going to cause some trouble for Samp this time.

The Swedish player moved the outside of his right foot and was about to start. When he saw Redondo stretching his foot, he immediately pulled back and knocked the ball forward, trying to pass through Redondo's wicket.

And he did it.

But the next second he found out to his embarrassment that he couldn't get through it!

Redondo didn't even chase back, just blocked his position.

Smith had no time to catch the ball before Verchowod took the lead.

Verchowod quickly passed the ball directly to Dejan Lu in the middle circle.

Dejan Lu dribbled the ball forward, and Highbury immediately let out a huge boo.

So scary!

Paolo Davis and David Rocastle rushed over almost at the same time. The two met in front of the center line and wanted to complete the steal together.

Snap——

Dejan Lu Push the instep sideways.

The ball rolled lightly between the two people, and Li Li, who stepped forward to assist, could only chase back.

Adams had even reached a high position. He wanted to stretch his foot to intercept but failed to touch the ball.

It's over!

The Arsenal captain thought pessimistically.

Left again.

Roberto Mancini took the ball and quickly rushed to the penalty area, directly from the top corner into the penalty area. Bould also wanted to block the shot, but Roberto Mancini directly sent the ball into the far corner without adjusting at all.

hat trick!

After scoring the goal, Roberto Mancini took off his shirt and ran wildly in Highbury, waving his jersey with his right hand.

The dark chest hair shines black under the light.

Highbury, who was still booing, fell silent again and just allowed his opponents to celebrate in their stadium.

5:0!

The bloody figures left Arsenal fans wondering what to do.

Don't even know what kind of reaction to give.

The players played without any problems today and even worked harder than usual.

There's nothing glaringly wrong either.

But just like that, he was defeated and washed away with blood.

This is the reason for their silence.

Even if you can't find a person directly responsible for the curse, is it really using words to insult those players who have tried their best?

Losing is not terrible.

It's not terrible to lose by a big score.

The scariest thing is that I keep getting scored on and I don't know what's going on.

Sampdoria's tactics seem to be covered in a layer of fog in front of the fans, making them extremely unfamiliar.

Some Arsenal fans even have a question, are they really playing football?

It's already like a different kind of sport.

It's completely different from the football they know.

Watching Serie A on TV, I just feel awesome.

When I saw it at the scene, I realized that it was really fucking awesome.

The team that has won the English First Division championship twice in the past few years, from the coach to the players, from the players to the fans, is so unfamiliar with the opponent's tactics.

Two consecutive long-distance ground through balls completely shattered the saying that football is the ball in the air.

Maybe there really is a way to play football outside of the UK?

"What a beautiful pass!"

Roberto Mancini ran back and said.

He didn't even try to hug Dejan Lu, because he knew that Dejan Lu would definitely avoid it.

"Don't worry."

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

"Only a miser would thank others with his mouth." Vialli said quietly from the side.

"Idiot, I will buy a gift for Dejan when I get back!"

Roberto Mancini scratched his neck and said.

Dejan Lu looked at the referee helplessly.

How about punishing one of these two bastards?

"Enrico, get up and warm up!"

Boskov turned around and shouted.

Chiesa quickly took off his training jacket and ran to the sidelines.

His situation has not been very good recently.

Because Lombardo has gradually returned to the starting lineup in important games, Boskov will sometimes be replaced by Pari or Dossena who are taking turns.

This kept him worried about missing opportunities.

That's why I didn't do anything in the parking lot.

Chiesa, who got the chance to warm up, was ready to give his best performance.

After the restart, Arsenal made a lot of moves and lost the ball quickly. Redondo once again completed the steal to Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu passed the midfield and passed forward again. Vialli started to catch the ball and was knocked down by Adams.

Seeing this, Dejan Lu stepped up and rushed forward, hoping to take the opportunity to get the ball back.

Before Adams could stand still, he simply threw himself out, used a sliding tackle with both feet, protected the ball with his left foot, and kicked Dejan Lu down with his right foot.

After a brief silence, hoarse shouts broke out from the sidelines, "Team doctor, team doctor..."
