One minute after Dejan Lu came off the field, the referee on duty blew the whistle to end the game.
Samp's substitute rushed onto the pitch.
Dejan Lu then walked into the stadium and applauded in the stands.
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!!"
"Dejan!!!"
The cheers from the away fans in the stands grew louder and louder.
Today's game is like a microcosm of these three seasons.
The team is outstanding.
But Sampdoria with Dejan Lu is the real six-time champion.
It may not be obvious at ordinary times, but at the critical moment, Dejan Lu is the most decisive star of the entire team and even UEFA.
After one injury, Sampdoria lost to AC Milan.
Perhaps large-scale rotation is a good reason, but Samp fans believe that even if all the main players are replaced, as long as Dejan Lu can play, AC Milan still cannot win against Ferraris Stadium.
Rossi said excitedly, "At the end of the season, it's the championship harvesting period again. Next are Italian Cup and Champions Cup. Sampdoria will continue to defend the title. I am very happy to witness this era with everyone. The reason why I don't talk about this season is because next season, and the next season, Dejan will still be the strongest winner of the championship.
Rivera and Riva proved their vision, Paolo·Mantovani showed his decisiveness, Boskov told us the importance of luck, and Dejan let the world witness what absolute strength is.
The fans of Sampdoria have won championships one after another. Every summer Sampdoria will try his best to get rid of those coveting eyes, because they have the most important treasure in the world. Suarez on the sidelines could be brought to Apennines by Moratti's huge sum of money, but Dejan rejected Y Billy's high-paying invitation.
Maybe Suarez is a good player, but Dejan, whether it is his skills or his persistence, proves that the gap between Mr. Golden Ball is wider than that between ordinary players and Mr. Golden Ball. There is nothing wrong with making money, but players like Dejan are needed to bring a ray of light to those confused fans and children and let them understand that playing football is not just about making money. Perhaps it is because of such a noble soul that God is willing to give him outstanding football skills. Because of one person, Genoa, the history of this city will be rewritten! "
Inter Milan player once again walked into the tunnel as a loser.
Fortunately, they had the experience of being scored 4 goals in a row at the last minute, so being scored 2 goals in a row this time did not have much impact on them.
Sometimes the harm is not superficial.
Just like some people can't cry at all when they lose a loved one.
But this pain will not disappear, just like rheumatism on a rainy day. Whenever it reaches a certain time, it will be heartbreaking and haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Dejan Lu prefers Ferguson's statement.
You will become stronger the day after you lose.
Everything has two sides, don't care about the pain, but be happy and live hard.
He feels that when he has time, he should go on TV and give cans of chicken soup to his opponents and fans to encourage them and gain a good reputation.
Fortunately, Dejan the Football King will not experience failure.
Hey, at this time he also admired brothers Baresi and Paolo Maldini.
At least these opponents must be mentally stronger than him.
Dejan Lu was feeling emotional when he followed his teammates to the podium.
"Congratulations to you Dejan..."
"You win again, we will meet again soon."
Italian Football Federation's top management all have smiling faces.
Dejan Lu politely shook hands with everyone before taking the medal and walking to the podium.
"Champion!!!"
"Champion!!!"
"Champion!!!"
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic.
The faces of Samp fans were flushed.
This is the result of passion.
In sports, there is nothing more exciting than the team you support winning a championship.
If so, it would be to reverse the opponent and win the championship!
The only regret about today's game is that it is not a final.
Otherwise, I'm afraid some fans may end up in the hospital because they are too excited.
So exciting!
Dejan Lu just waved his hand towards the stands, which immediately caused a burst of high-octave screams.
"Come and raise a glass!"
Roberto Mancini shouted with some envy.
"Is it because of that?" Vialli stared at him and asked with a half-smile.
"What?"
Roberto Mancini felt bad and asked, scratching his neck.
"I saw a magazine a few days ago. Among the most desired boyfriends, husbands, lovers, and cheating partners, Dejan ranked first in all four selections, but you only ranked ninth in the most desired husband. Are you angry because of this?"
Vialli asked with a smile.
He knows Roberto Mancini's character very well.
After realizing the gap between their skills and Dejan Lu, they gave up the comparison and pretended to be a team instead.
But the inner desire to win cannot disappear, especially since Roberto Mancini has always been confident in his appearance.
"What are you talking about? I'm already married, why should I care about that kind of thing?"
Roberto Mancini curled his lips and said, "Only idiots care about other people's opinions. Life will be very tiring in that way. People who are spiritually rich don't need to care about other people's opinions. And I never watch the gossip without connotation in "Heart"..."
Before he finished speaking, Roberto Mancini noticed something was wrong.
He said in a somewhat broken voice, "I just saw it, what can I do?"
"Fangxin" is a famous adult magazine of Italy. Later, they were the first to report that Guti was suspected of liking men. This magazine pays great attention to handsome players. After all, the group they target is women.
"It's okay, Dejan come here quickly."
Vialli pulled Dejan Lu to stand between him and Roberto Mancini, and handed the trophy over.
Dejan Lu turned to look at Roberto Mancini. He was the captain on the field today.
"You lift it, whoever makes you look better."
Roberto Mancini said sourly.
3.
2.
1...
As the fans counted down, Dejan Lu raised the trophy high.
After the family members entered the scene.
Verchowod's son Paolo has no energy.
Dejan Lu, who was hugging Monica, walked over and rubbed his head and asked, "What's wrong, young man, you don't seem happy."
"Soviet Union disintegrated..."
Paolo·Verchowod sniffed and said, almost crying.
Dejan Lu:...
It has been 4 months, and this kid still thinks about it.
It seems that he has a deep affection for his grandfather's country.
"My life is over."
Paolo·Verchowod said, "I don't know what I want to live for."
"I don't think you're thinking right."
Dejan Lu squatted down and persuaded, "When Soviet Union is here, you can grow up to build it. When Soviet Union is gone, you can inherit its spirit and create a new Soviet Union."
Paolo·Verchowod's eyes lit up, and Dejan Lu's scalp felt numb.
He nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I can create a new Soviet Union!"
Monica kicked Dejan Lu with the toe of his shoe angrily.
Dejan Lu could only smile angrily.
I didn't expect this kid to really have ideals.
Maybe one day he can let Red Flag penetrate the world. At that time, uncle Dejan and aunt Monica, two people's entrepreneurs, will still need Paolo to show mercy.
Dejan Lu rubbed his head before dragging Paolo·Verchowod together to take a group photo.
"Dejan..."
Pezzotti came over and shouted.
"Urine test?"
"No, press conference."
Pezzotti said with a smile.
Dejan Lu shook his head with regret and walked into the passage.
This time Suarez and Baresi arrived later than Boskov and Dejan Lu.
It seems that losing has no impact on Inter Milan at all.
"Louis, tell me how you feel about losing the game at the last minute?"
"Franco, some fans say that Baresi loses to Dejan the most times every season. After all, you are two brothers. What do you want to say?"
"It is said that the starting lineup has been changed because Dejan has not fully recovered. Mr. Boskov?"
"Mr. Boskov, someone revealed that Capello is learning Chinese. He wants to take away your job. What do you think?"
"..."
Capello Learn Chinese?
Then it will be more convenient when I coach. I learn Chinese just to coach Suning. I am full of awe.
Baresi took the lead and said, "If any fan says that, then he must be a Juventus fan."
The reporters at the scene laughed.
Suarez continued, "It's a pity that we lost the game today, but it's just a league game. It's regrettable because of the way we lost, not because this game is important."
"But Inter Milan hasn't beaten Sampdoria for a long time. AC Milan just won not long ago." the reporter reminded.
"If Dejan plays and they win, remember to notify me."
Suarez said and stood up directly.
These reporters are just messing around.
Without Dejan Lu and all the main players rotated, Sampdoria like that is not as good as Genoa. What's there to say about winning?
Seeing this, Boskov pulled up the microphone and said, "The first adjustment today is because I am worried about Dejan's recovery from injury. It has nothing to do with Dejan's lack of recovery. I want to wait a little longer."
"Then why did you change to Dejan at the last moment?"
the reporter asked.
"Mainly because Dejan took the initiative to play. He didn't want to lose the game. As you can see, Dejan is a player who won't lose if he doesn't want to lose!"
Boskov said with a smile.
The two free kicks today scared even him.
Even if calculated based on probability, Dejan Lu should have scored one and lost one today. After all, he only had two chances.
Dejan Lu's free kick probability is there.
But the reality is so crazy. It can only be said that Dejan Lu was born for the big scene.
Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the case. The free kicks that were not missed before seemed to be when we were ahead or when there was no pressure. Maybe there are people who perform better under pressure.
"What do you think of Capello?"
the reporter asked.
Boskov frowned.
Learn Chinese?
This kind of thing itself is very strange.
There is only one Chinese player Dejan Lu in the entire European football world.
What does that Sacchi assistant teacher want to do? Boskov was silent for a few seconds and said, "I don't know Capello's intention of learning Chinese. It may be his own hobby. But every coach wants to have players like Dejan, so it's not surprising even if other coaches want to coach Dejan. Well, that's it for today's press conference."
Boskov ignored the reporters' attempts to stay and stood up directly.
Capello is still very concerned about learning Chinese.
He needed to clear his mind.
Later Boskov appeared at Mantovani's home.
After Paolo·Mantovani heard his doubts, he simply smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this kind of thing at all, no one will take your place, Vujadin. We have been working together for many years, why would you want to change the coach just because he is learning Chinese?"
"I know, Paolo, I just want to say something. If you have any opinions about me, you can tell me."
Boskov said.
He also felt like he cared a little too much.
Mantovani smiled and nodded.
The team's performance was stable and the coach was changed when there was no time to spare.
Capello may be good, but he doesn't have any impressive results.
After Boskov left, Mantovani turned on the TV.
The TV was reporting on the team's reversal today, and the Sampdoria chairman fell into deep thought while watching the TV.
Compared to Boskov, Dejan Lu is more important.
The competitive aspect doesn't even need to be mentioned.
Even at the brokerage level, it will bring huge benefits to the team.
This gave him some sense of crisis.
Not every team has an endorsement contract.
After thinking for a while, he made a new decision.
On the second day of rest, Dejan Lu and Monica went to the old chairman's house together at noon.
"I'm sorry to ask you to come during the holiday."
The old chairman greeted with a smile.
"Monica and I have wanted to come and have a look for a long time." Dejan Lu handed over the wine he was carrying.
Not very expensive, not cheap either.
"It just so happens that you haven't eaten either. I asked someone to cook some Chinese food. I don't know if it suits your taste." Mantovani said.
Monica looked at Dejan Lu.
Dejan Lu grabbed her hand, patted it, and said with a smile, "Don't think so much, it won't be bad if Mr. Chairman calls us here."
Mantovani smiled and nodded.
Dejan Lu is very arrogant and will say everything to his face.
He admired this style of work very much.
Mantovani turned around and walked to the table, picked up a document bag and handed it to Monica and said, "I thought about it yesterday. Dejan's contract is still not worthy of his performance. Now Dejan also needs a more generous contract. The world's number one star should have the world's number one salary."
"I already have an annual salary of 2 million."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
Mantovani spread his hand and motioned to Monica to open the document bag.
Monica took out the contract and looked at it for a few seconds, and immediately screamed, "$6 million?"
This is three times the previous salary of Dejan Lu.
Dejan Lu also turned around and looked over. He thought 3 million was enough.
He didn't expect it to be so much more than he thought.
Mantovani said, "The team's annual endorsement income is almost 10 million US dollars. Although it is not as much as Dejan's personal endorsement income, it is still quite a lot. We are the only ones in football who have so much income. This is all because of Dejan's relationship, his teammates are also favored by some brands. I think a part of the team's endorsement income should be allocated to Dejan's salary, so the number I decided is 6 million US dollars, and the remaining money will be invested in the team."
"This is too much, Mr. Chairman..."
Dejan Lu said directly.
For him, salary does not account for a large proportion of income, but it is different for the team.
Mantovani smiled and waved his hand and said, "You deserve such a salary, otherwise others will think we are squeezing you. I have communicated with some first-team players this morning, and they are very much in favor of this matter, so don't refuse."
Dejan Lu took out the pen directly from his pocket, took the contract, turned to the last page and signed his name.
"Come and eat."
Mantovani greeted.
Dejan Lu nodded and pulled Monica over.
Monica rolled his eyes silently in his heart.
I didn't even take a closer look at the $6 million contract.
She also admired her boyfriend and the club president. One of them dared to issue a salary, and the other dared to sign the contract without reading the terms clearly.
Maybe this is the tacit understanding between men?
There was no talk about money at the dinner table.
Mantovani has been talking about the future team's plans.
"I feel like we should have our own stadium, let's put a little pressure on City Hall, and the mayor should take care of this for us taxpayers."
Dejan Lu said.
"I agree too."
Mantovani nodded and said, "We haven't spent much money on transfers for three consecutive seasons. We have a lot of championship bonuses and ticket income left. If we can build our own stadium, it will definitely further strengthen the team's economy. It will become a good positive cycle. Even if we are no longer in Sampdoria in a few decades, the team will have good development."
Italy A slightly ambitious club president in football wants to build his own stadium.
But this is not a one-person thing.
Rather, it's up to City Hall, of all places.
Whoever opened this hole may have a second team requesting to build a stadium.
It is a big weakening for their finances.
That's why no one dared to nod.
Both Mantovani and Dejan Lu believe that Sampdoria's achievements and reputation are enough.
If we win six championships this season, it will put pressure on the Genoa City Hall. As soon as the land is approved and the procedures are completed, foreign construction companies will be invited to build the stadium as quickly as possible.
On the one hand, Italy people are not very efficient.
Wages are a trivial matter.
I am afraid that the city hall will repeat it.
At that time, we will find reasons to stop the approved stadium project.
It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Dejan Lu and Monica left.
On the way back, Monica complained, "You should have read the contract carefully just now."
Dejan Lu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Because I am Mr. Mantovani, I dare to do this."
"You can't place your future on the conscience of others." Monica said out of breath, and slapped Dejan Lu's arm hard.
"I know." Dejan Lu touched her head and said, "But isn't it the players themselves who have the final say on how the players perform on the court? There is no problem with Mr. Mantovani's character or his IQ. He will not do anything in this regard."
Monica then nodded.
The story was in the newspapers the next day.
The headline of "La Gazzetta dello Sport" contains a long series of numbers, 13500000000. Just seeing so many zeros is surprising enough.
A salary of more than 10 billion lire!
They wrote, "Sampdoria announced Dejan's new contract to dispel the covetousness of other teams. In the new contract, Dejan's salary increased from US$2 million to US$6 million, which tripled at once. Even if Dejan knew It's very surprising that 's performance deserves such a salary. Dejan's own income is comparable to that of a small country. The biggest problem in football is that there is no such high salary. Compared with some sports in the United States, $6 million is not the highest salary."
"La Gazzetta dello Sport" mainly expresses shock at this salary.
It also reminds fans that among top athletes, $6 million is not the most exaggerated amount.
The United States is strong here.
What is the American dream? The main thing is that Americans have money.
If they like sports, the income of athletes will be higher.
But even so, it still scared many people.
Ferguson When he got the news in the afternoon, he held the newspaper and was speechless for a long time.
What are you talking about?
There is no way in this life to coach Dejan Lu.
If you let a person work in a worse place, the salary must be adequate.
With the current situation of British football, it cannot be given 10 million US dollars?
He thought, but Manchester United couldn't afford that much money.
Compared to this, there is another news that has attracted more attention from fans.
UEFA announced new rules for tackles. There will be many restrictions on tackles from behind. Defensive players will have a difficult time in the next period of time.
And they also announced that they will announce the rosters of the European Star Team and the Italy Star Team before the Champions Cup finals, as well as the coaches of the two teams.
This matter can be said to be the most talked about thing in summer.
However, some national teams and players have had conflicts over this.
The national team certainly does not want the players to play an exhibition match before European Championship. Although the intensity may not be high, judging from the current attention, the players may play very hard.
That puts them at risk of injury.
Whether it is Serie A All-Stars or the European Star Team, the players who can be selected are the absolute core of the national team. Even some small football countries may only have one or two stars.
If they get injured, will European Championship still play?
From a player's perspective, most people want to play.
Others can choose this thing, but you are not on the big list. Even if you explain to the fans that you don't want to go, some people will say that you are not capable enough.
It is an honor in itself, which causes players to care very much.
I don't have to play, but I have to be a member of the star team.
Selecting so many people but not making the roster is a blow to the top players.
UEFA is still coordinating this matter. In fact, the main roster has basically been voted out.
What the fans want to see is definitely the best player. There is no dispute about this matter. The performance of the game is reflected on the field, and the specific data is also statistics.
The main reason is that the national team does not want the players to play.
UEFA still needs to do related work.
A few days later, Sampdoria ushered in the Champions League semi-finals against Marseille.
Ferraris Stadium can't wait for a long time.
Regarding Dejan Lu's contract renewal these days, the fans' attitude is nothing but happy.
$6 million?
Sampdoria fans feel that they are not even worthy of Dejan Lu's performance.
Ferraris Stadium put up banners early in the stands to express their support and gratitude to Dejan Lu.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Every summer there are always many wealthy families interested in Dejan Lu.
Dejan Lu has always refused to transfer, which is why Sampdoria has won so many championships.
Before the players from both sides came out to warm up, the stands kept chanting the name Dejan Lu.
In the away locker room, Papin frowned and said, "It's really noisy here."
Abedi·Pelé pretended not to hear.
Since Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year, Papin's temper has become worse.
But you don't think about it yourself, even if there is no Dejan Lu, Lothar Matthäus they are more qualified than you.
He wouldn't say such words, but that didn't mean he didn't have his own ideas.
Don't you look at how others behave? If you want to win Ballon d'Or, first lead the team to win the Champions Cup championship.
The atmosphere in the home dressing room is much better.
Roberto Mancini sat next to Dejan Lu and said, "You recently made 6 million US dollars, don't you have any other feelings?"
"Not recently."
Dejan Lu explained dumbfounded, "That's the annual salary. Does it make you feel superior to others if you make more money? I think it depends on your football skills."
"Yes, Dejan is several levels higher than you because of his skills."
Vialli is doing some finishing work on the side.
"Get away!"
Roberto Mancini said angrily, "Just thinking about it, I feel a little scary. I didn't expect that this guy Dejan didn't have any mood swings at all. It would have taken me a long time to adjust."
"Roberto is right." Pagliuca nodded and said, "In other words, I might have insomnia for several days. It always feels unreal. I will buy a lot of things in the next few days and want to spend money every day. I will return to a peaceful life after I get used to it."
"So you guys don't make $6 million in wages."
Verchowod said with a smile, "If you have that kind of strength, you won't have the mentality of picking up money. Every penny of your salary is earned by strength, so naturally you won't think about spending it every day. It's hard-earned money."
Mannini nodded vigorously on the side.
Dejan Lu's performance was there. When Mantovani called him, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly nodded.
Can the money earned by one Dejan Lu be equal to two to three Diego Maradona? Anyway, he thinks it is worth it.
We have reached the Champions Cup semi-finals, and Barcelona had won the day before.
Next, as long as you advance, you will basically encounter Barcelona.
Now the whole team has the confidence to take revenge. Isn't this confidence because of Dejan Lu?
Dejan Lu smiled and chatted with his teammates while changing equipment.
The whole team doesn't have any objections to his salary being so high, it's pretty good.
Although he is very strong, his high salary will still cause some chain reactions.
It can only be said that the players at this time are innocent and the atmosphere in Samp's locker room is good.
Later, Menu opened his mouth and asked for 200,000 Pound Sterling. Is he worthy of it?
It's not just about the high wages of other teammates. He wants outrageous wages even if he performs a little bit.
After changing clothes, Dejan Lu chose the lottery.
[Your good brother Verchowod is not well-known because he played in Sampdoria. After he retired, no one knew that he was one of the best players of this period, so we selected a player who is more famous than his strength. Ding, he won the 1986 International Football Friendly Match, France Team VS North Ireland, Jean-Pierre Papin Experience Card]
Papin ah.
This is not to say that fame is greater than strength.
Mainly because the golden ball he won was more controversial.
It's a pity that Verchowod is a teammate, but as a teammate of Dejan the Football King, people will still mention him even after he retires.
