The professor's life may not be easy.

During this time, he needs to pay more than others.

Dejan Lu had breakfast and asked, "What's going on today, Diane?"

The Princess, who was still awake, rubbed his eyes and said, "I made an appointment with my cousin in the afternoon. If you are interested, we can go horse riding together."

"Forget it, I'm going to go out to collect scenery today."

Dejan Lu pointed to his head and said with a smile, "People who often use their brains need to take a break and get more inspiration."

The Princess rolled his eyes fiercely.

I'm afraid it's not like I went out to hide from the editor.

Dejan Lu has been on hiatus quite a lot recently.

After he went out, he went straight to Redondo's house. Redondo had already changed into hiking clothes and was carrying two duffel bags.

Getting into the Dodge Ram Van II, Dejan Lu sat in the passenger seat.

This car is very similar to the car that was disguised as an FBI surveillance suspect in the American TV series. It is quite big.

Previously, Redondo wanted to buy a car that could be used for fun. He was optimistic about the Mercedes-Benz 560 TEL. However, Dejan Lu felt that the car looked too much like a funeral parlor car and it felt weird to ride in.

"I brought a fishing rod. If you're bored, you can go fishing Dejan."

Redondo said.

"It's okay, catching butterflies is quite interesting."

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

Redondo saw the extinct big blue butterfly appearing in the nearby peak area, and wanted to observe it and see if he could pick up a butterfly that had reached the end of its life as a specimen.

After all, the butterfly only has a few days to live.

"I have done some research recently. Did you know Dejan that the larvae of the big blue butterfly eat thyme flowers when it is young? After molting three times, it falls to the ground. When it is carried back to the nest by red ants, it secretes some honey for the ants to eat, and eats the food and ant larvae found by the ants. During this period, it cannot be discovered by the queen, and no more larvae can be carried back. Otherwise, there is not enough food, and they will not be able to emerge from the cocoon until ten months later." Redondo said excitedly.

"It sounds amazing, that's how nature works."

Dejan Lu said.

There is a habit of collecting specimens in the UK and France, and many grocery stores also recycle some rare specimens in good condition.

When two people went to pick up Schmeichel and his son, they saw Gary·Neville.

"Gary This guy has been hanging out all morning. He heard that we were going to have a picnic, so he insisted on coming with him." Schmeichel said.

"I'm doing morning exercises."

Gary·Neville emphasized.

"Okay, main full-back."

Schmeichel said, "Then you train so strictly, I will also use the same standards as Steve and others."

Gary·Neville immediately shrank his head.

"I feel like you're quite angry."

Dejan Lu asked, "What happened?"

"My dad's investment failed!"

Kasper·Schmeichel said.

"Shut up, that's why the teacher came to me. The teacher said that Napoleon defeated the Austrians. He asked the teacher what car Napoleon drives. Damn it!" Schmeichel laughed angrily.

"Tell me about investment, Peter."

Redondo asked, "I also have some investments, but there is no increase at present. This is the best thing."

"The Nordic Electricity Exchange issued a power futures contract. You also know that I am a Nordic. People around me said that I can make money by buying that thing. They even said that a dog went to the exchange with $100 in its mouth and took away $500 in five minutes."

Schmeichel said angrily, "Since I bought that thing, it has started to fall. When I sold it, I lost almost half of it."

"That's not bad, at least we didn't lose everything."

Gary·Neville said.

Dejan Lu nodded.

This makes sense.

He advised, "When you know the news about this kind of thing, that's when others are ready to let you take over. If you are particularly keen on timing, you may be able to earn a good return in the face of huge risks, but usually those who enter the market chasing the rise will be harvested."

"I'll know next time."

Schmeichel said coolly.

But I was crying in my heart.

I lost more than 100,000 US dollars and lost two months of salary and bonus.

The key point is that he didn't even know how he lost money. He lost more than 100,000 yuan just by making a few phone calls.

For Schmeichel, who is 24 years old and still needs to deliver milk, this is simply a fucking scam!

"If you want to invest, you can buy Nokia stocks. Their products are very good." Dejan Lu took out the newly bought 2110 and shook it. He found a mobile phone of this size more acceptable to him.

"I'll consider it."

Schmeichel nodded and said.

He is not very confident about stocks and futures recently.

This is also the reason why many players would rather lose money than invest in industry. In the financial field, they can't figure out what's going on and their hard-earned money is gone.

The real industry can also know where it is losing money.

If you improve and use your influence to attract fans, you can even turn losses into profits.

The Peak District that several people went to is between Manchester and Xie Phil.

It's not very popular, but you can still see tourists.

Kasper·Schmeichel took two old stockings with some bait inside before going up the mountain with everyone.

"I want to try to catch the rhinoceros."

Little Schmeichel said, "The one-horned fairy looks very funny."

"It's really good. I never saw a unicorn fairy when I was a child. There is no such insect in my house."

Dejan Lu said, "Catch beetles or dragonflies more often, and I will also catch locusts for fun."

"I thought you practiced football every day when you were a kid!"

Gary·Neville complained, "Before you transferred to Manchester United, every time you went to the youth team, the boss would ask us if we had seen Manchester at 4 o'clock in the morning?"

Hahaha...

Dejan Lu smiled happily.

Redondo and Dejan the Football King were roommates a lot.

He should know very well that Dejan the Football King is still asleep at four in the morning.

When we reached the top of the mountain, Redondo went to find the place where thyme gathered, where the big blue butterfly would lay its eggs.

Dejan Lu, Schmeichel and Neville sit down and fish together.

Within a few minutes, Neville threw away the fishing rod and went to catch insects with little Schmeichel.

"That guy has no patience."

Schmeichel curled his lips and said.

He had a fiery temper on the court, but he had developed patience while working in a nursing home.

They are all old people, so they can't just fight with fists.

"Fishing is boring for many people. If it weren't for the water quality problems in the UK, I would prefer to swim in the water instead of fishing." Dejan Lu said.

Calabria is a coastal city, and he often participates in these activities.

"Patience is also a virtue."

Schmeichel said with a smile.

"By the way, Dejan, have you seen the newspaper?"

"What?"

Dejan Lu asked.

"Post." Schmeichel said, "Cruyff said that Ajax's winning rate is not high and is considered a traitor by some Dutch people."

Dejan Lu smiled and shook his head.

Cruyff does prefer Barcelona.

Many times he does things from Barcelona's perspective.

A few people actually ate sandwiches at noon.

Although there is a camping area here, it is too far.

They didn't come to camp, so they didn't bring a stove or anything like that.

Until the afternoon, Redondo could not find the shadow of the butterfly.

"Don't be too disappointed, at least we didn't catch any fish." Dejan Lu joked.

"I'm not disappointed. The process is more important than the result."

Redondo said with a smile, "Perhaps many years from now, Kasper will always remember the spring we played with Gary."

Dejan Lu glanced at the two men, who were pulling with the roots of leaves.

Had a great time.

"Let's go, there's a derby the day after tomorrow."

Dejan Lu said.

The next opponent is Leeds United. The game between Leeds United and Manchester United is called the Rose Derby, which dates back to the time of the War of the Roses.

But now Leeds United's strength is quite average.

Dejan Lu I guess he won't even make the roster.

The rise of Leeds United also relies on a group of young people. Those young people in Leeds United are completely opposite to Manchester United Class of '92.

Although they are talented, they are also capable of causing trouble.

After retiring, he rarely comes out and says anything.

On the way back, little Schmeichel fell asleep while sitting in the back seat. Running all day long is quite tiring for a child.

"If we ask David to come with us, he probably won't be able to stay even for an hour."

Neville complained, "That guy has mysophobia. Every time he returns to the dormitory, he has to put things in order, then light candles and look in the mirror."

"Is he performing some witchcraft ritual..."

Dejan Lu complained.

Even if you are narcissistic, there is no need to light a candle and look in the mirror.

His description sounds like American Horror Story.

"Really, I won't lie to you." Gary·Neville continued, "And that guy also likes to stay up late and often goes to bed after 11 o'clock. I go to bed at 9 o'clock, so it is difficult to live in the same room with him."

"Staying up late doesn't do the players any good."

Schmeichel said, "I used to be forced to cut down on sleep, pick up milk in the morning, and go to work after training. Now I maintain a good schedule every day."

"That's a good thing. Suffering teaches you to appreciate the life you have now."

Redondo, who was driving, said.

"You said it was like a priest." Schmeichel said.

"I don't like little boys."

Redondo said casually.

There was a burst of laughter in the car.

These things can be traced back to the 1950s, but they were only exposed in the early 1980s, and more and more were exposed in the 1990s.

These things are mainly concentrated in English-speaking areas, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Ireland.

Even Benedict, when he was bishop at Munich, failed to prevent a priest from committing a crime and provided false statements.

On April 1st, Manchester United defeated Leeds United 1:0 at home.

Dejan Lu really failed to make the roster.

Three days later, Manchester United will welcome the Eredivisie giants Ajax at home.

This game still received a lot of attention, and quite a few Dutch players were interviewed.

Cruyff said in an interview with "Mundo Deportivo": "Ajax has a glorious history. Their Champions Cup has won more championships than Manchester United, but history is not about history in football. I know Van Gaal looks good, but we don't know until we bite the bad apple."

Van Gaal was naturally not to be outdone. When interviewed by a TV station, he said, "Catalonia and Amsterdam are two completely different places. I don't want to judge others, and I don't care about other people's evaluations."

The feud between the two of them has been going on for a long time.

When Van Gaal was young, he was suppressed by Cruyff who played in the same position.

In 1989, Van Gaal was invited to attend a Christmas lunch hosted by Cruyff. During the dinner, he received a phone call and learned that his sister had unfortunately passed away, so he and his family left the party in a hurry.

Regarding this matter, Van Gaal said that Cruyff thought he had no manners.

Cruyff denied this.

The relationship between the two men was very tense.

This time Ajax coach Van Gaal has to bear the pressure from Ajax and Dutch double star Cruyff.

When Van Basten was interviewed by "La Gazzetta dello Sport", he spoke a lot more tactfully.

He said, "Ajax is a great team, but they are going to Manchester to challenge Manchester United. This will be a difficult game."

Van Basten doesn't even predict the outcome.

"The Times" commented. "Luis Van Gaal obviously didn't realize what kind of opponent he and his team would face. Rijkaard's words gave him confidence? Maybe Ajax is not Barcelona or Bayern Munich, but they may not perform better than those two teams."

In this era, Barca is still obviously inferior to Ajax.

Even when Van Gaal coached Barca after 2000, Barca Vice Chairman Nunez declared that Ajax was the goal of Barcelona's learning.

Whether it is Cruyff or Van Gaal who is good at promoting young people, they are an important part of La Masia's growth.

La Masia is not a natural rich ore either.

It is to first determine a concept and then continue to adhere to this concept to train players.

For this game, Fleet Street also specially interviewed the Arsenal coach.

Facing Sky Sports's camera, the professor said, "Ajax has a very excellent tactical concept, but Manchester United has the most extreme personal ability. I also want to know the result of this game. Whether personal ability has reached the extreme, any tactics will not work."

These remarks disappointed the reporters.

They prefer to watch people predict the outcome.

Just like the former England national team, Peter·Hilton firmly believes that Ajax will lose, and may even be bloodbathed by Manchester United in the first round, directly making the second round lose its meaning.

Whether this prediction is right or wrong can be followed by news articles.

On April 7, Manchester United finally welcomed Ajax at Theatre of Dreams.

Facing three Eredivisie giants in the Champions League, Manchester United players are still a little nervous.

Ferguson drew Ajax's formation on the tactical board and said, "The Dutch have not lost a game this season. No matter how Cruyff and the media evaluate Van Gaal, you must realize that this is a difficult opponent to deal with."

"Their 433 is actually 343. Rijkaard plays a defensive midfielder position responsible for delivering the ball. Today we use 451. The only requirement is that the person playing the front midfielder position and the right wing must constantly go up to suppress their No. 4 Rijkaard. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Got it, boss."

Beckham nodded vigorously and said.

"Very good, then it won't be a problem anymore. This is a typical Dutch team, Total Football, be careful as their No. 10 counterattacks quickly."

Ferguson reminded again.

Dejan Lu nodded.

Litmanen!

It was because of him that Van Gaal let Bergkamp go on purpose.

Litmanen and Finnish Ice Blade are very similar to Thomas·Müller. They are the kind of players who are hard-working and talented, and their movements are always very reasonable.

"Dejan, what do you think of the Dutch?"

Ferguson asked, "You met many Dutch people when you were at Italy."

"They are very difficult to deal with. They have excellent footwork and they all like to foul. The most important thing is that Van Gaal's players prefer to use the wings. I think this is an extension of Michels's theory. When I watch their games, they often choose to go wide to expand the use of width and give up the organization in the middle."

Dejan Lu said.

"Yes, so the defensive task on the wing is very heavy. Dennis, you have to attack as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on Dejan." Ferguson said.

Irwin nodded vigorously.

"Brian must be quick when passing back. In Dejan's previous game against Arsenal, the cooperation with his teammates was not so comfortable." Ferguson said again.

"I will take care of it." McClair said.

"Okay then, let's go out and warm up. I'll go to the press conference to check it out."

Ferguson said with a wave of his hand.

Dejan Lu Only at this time did I think of the lottery.

[Your good brother Marco·Van Basten almost never drinks, let alone other things, so we selected a player who likes to drink. Ding, get the 2009-2010 Champions League final, Inter Milan VS Bayern Munich, Wesley Sneijder single game experience card]

Damn it!

Sneijder ah.

Among the three stickmen, his situation is the most miserable and the least worthy of sympathy.

The other two players mostly retired due to injuries or other factors that affected their condition, and they did not retire until they were in their junior years.

Sneijder is entirely your own problem.

After abandoning his first wife, he married the female anchor Spain.

The female anchor didn't want to live with him at Italy, so she started drinking and taking drugs.

When Inter Milan was able to reach his peak, it can only be said that his body resisted and he did not decline as much in the early stage.

If only he could be more self-disciplined, or stay with his first wife like Van Persie and Robben, his career would be very different.

You are willing to play but you don't have the vision yet.

Then it's really your own problem.

Beckenbauer went from lover to lover, but he didn't see any one who would cause him to drink to relieve his sorrows and affect his state.

However, Sneijder was really strong at his peak.

There are almost no shortcomings except defense.

Long shots, passes, free kicks... the offensive talent is almost overflowing, and he can always find a way to help the team.

It just so happens that he is also from Ajax's youth training, so he is perfect for facing Ajax.

After appearing on the stage with his teammates, Dejan Lu immediately felt the enthusiasm of the fans.

Perhaps the opponents they faced today were a bit strong, which made Manchester United fans less confident.

They showed off a giant TIFO in the stands early, with the back of No. 7 Dejan Lu on it. His enemies were dead on the ground, and their heads were replaced with the team emblems of various wealthy teams.

Only Ajax is left hanging on.

Dejan Lu did kick Ajax for the first time.

"Their fans are really arrogant."

Overmars looked at TIFO and said.

"If we can win, we have the right to be arrogant." Blinded frowned and looked at Dejan Lu who was bumping the ball and said, "That man has never lost."

"Maybe we can give him a first time. The first time will always be fresh in his memory."

Frank·De Boer said with a smile.

Ajax burst into laughter at halftime.

Keane turned to look at the opponent's half and said, "Where do these idiots think this is?"

"Theatre of Dreams?"

Gary·Neville said uncertainly.

"I mean they're going to stop laughing soon!"

Keane said with a snort.

Gary·Neville curled his lips and looked at Dejan Lu.

It's not the confidence your teammates give you.

Otherwise what else can you do except threaten to tackle their legs?

"The players on both sides have begun to warm up. George·Best and Bobby·Charlton are unstoppable in Theatre of Dreams. These two Manchester United legends are loyal fans of Dejan."

"The camera showed Hilton, and Qian Guomen, who retired, also appeared in the stands. Apparently he was ready to cheer for Dejan on the spot."

"It's a pity that Barca still has a game, otherwise Cruyff could go to Old Trafford to watch how Van Gaal lost."

"Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

Manchester United 451 single attacking midfielder:

Goalkeeper: Schmeichel,

Defender: Irwin, Steve·Bruce, Parister, Gary·Neville,

Midfielder: Dejan Lu, Redondo, Phillip·Neville, Roy·Keane, Beckham,

Forward: Brian·McClair.

Ajax 343 diamond midfielder:

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar,

Defenders: Frank·De Boer, Danny·Blinded, Míchel·Reiziger,

Midfielder: Seedorf, Rijkaard, Litmanen, Ronald De Boer,

Forwards: Overmars, Kanu, Finidi·George.

"Van Gaal's 343 is still relatively rare in European football. In his tactics, Rijkaard will retreat to the guard position, so 433 is fine."

"Ajax's three defenders are all midfielders. Perhaps this is the secret of Van Gaal's success. As midfielders, they will have better vision and passing skills. They use constant passing to pull the opponent's formation."

"The biggest highlight today is that Rijkaard faces Dejan again. He never defeated Dejan once when he was in Italy. He seems to have found confidence again after returning to the Netherlands."

After the players from both sides followed the referee team out, the coaching staff of both teams also came out.

Ferguson shook hands with Van Gaal very politely.

Van Gaal also smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "I hope today will be a wonderful game."

Ferguson nodded.

But in my heart I was discussing.

As long as the Dutchman commits a minor foul, he will try to restrain his temper.

The Dutch are as famous for their skills as they are for their foul play.

Dutch players don't seem to be so obvious when they are in other leagues, but once they return to the national team, 23 Dutch people gather together, and the severity of the fouls will skyrocket.

At 6:30 in the evening, referee Akhment Yaqak from Turkey blew the whistle to start the game.

Kanu kicked the ball to Overmars, and Overmars immediately passed it back to Seedorf.

Ajax's organizational ability in the midfield is one of the best in Europe.

Dejan Lu took a brief look at their starting lineup, and it was indeed All-Star level. Basically, these players have played in wealthy clubs, and most of them have been the main players in wealthy clubs and achieved success.

This is the strength of Ajax.

It didn't take long for Dejan Lu to discover that Chef Fan's Ajax team had better possession of the ball than any other team he had seen in his career.

Perhaps it's because old Blinded and the others are all from midfield background.

The movement after encountering pressure is always quite reasonable, and there are always at least two contact points.

Rijkaard is a location similar to Bucskics.

This team can even be said to be the prototype of Dream Team III.

Dejan Lu went up to press Reiziger who had the ball. Reiziger dunked his feet before passing the ball.

This is different from most defenders.

Danny Blinded took the ball and passed it diagonally to Seedorf, continuing to use the width of the field.

Beckham pressed forward quickly, but Seedorf's feet were more delicate than he wanted.

Beckham tried to extend his foot twice in succession, but was avoided by Seedorf smashing the ball. After Rijkaard rushed forward, Seedorf immediately gave the ball to Rijkaard.

Phillip·Neville immediately rushed forward to press.

Rijkaard chose to turn around and control the ball.

Little Neville immediately felt physically suppressed.

When he was young, Rijkaard's tall body was still a bit thin, but now he is already quite powerful.

For little Neville who has just recovered from injury, the confrontation between the two is not at the same level.

Keane also discovered the plight of his teammates and rushed forward.

Rijkaard just passed the ball back with one kick at this time.

Blinded was about to get the ball, and McClair started and rushed forward.

Blinded, who was forced to turn his back after getting the ball, did not dare to pass back.

After the return pass rules were changed, the goalkeeper was unable to receive the return pass with his hands.

He squeezed back hard and immediately knocked him to the right.

The ball was too big. Reiziger chased it to the sideline before successfully stopping the ball, but Dejan Lu had already rushed behind him and did not give him a chance to turn around.

"Throw-in ball, throw-in ball..."

Van Gaal whispered, for fear of shouting out Dejan Lu was on guard.

Reiziger obviously thought so too. He suddenly turned around and kicked the ball towards Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu, who was on guard for a long time, also chose to raise his leg sideways. The ball hit Dejan Lu's knee and bounced on Reiziger's calf before it came out of the sideline.

"Dejan!!!"

Theatre of Dreams A huge cheer sounded instantly.

If you want to play tricks here, you don't even want to see where this place is.

Danny Blinded looked at Reiziger in surprise.

Throw-ins are their usual method. After all, defenders cannot pass the ball every time they get the ball. Creating throw-ins like this can prevent the opponent from getting the ball in the backcourt.

I didn't expect to fail today.

"He reacts quickly!"

Reiziger said.

It shouldn't even be said to be a reaction.

But Dejan Lu predicted his movements.

His turning movement and his dominant foot already allowed Dejan Lu to guess the direction he would probably kick the ball.

Such an opponent is indeed difficult to deal with.

Beckham walks to the sideline and prepares to throw the foul ball.

Reiziger immediately focused on Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu gave Gary·Neville a look and asked him to move forward.

Gary·Neville stood on the right side of the penalty area.

Dejan Lu simply retreated to the hinterland of the middle road.

Reiziger had no choice but to go up and guard the big Neville.

Beckham played a little trick and threw the ball to Dejan Lu, but he threw it directly to Phillip·Neville.

Phillip·Neville's skills are very good, and his feet are more delicate than his brother's.

After pretending to turn around and face the ball head-on, he tricked Rijkaard into turning around and immediately passed the ball back to Redondo.

Redondo didn't even hesitate and gave it to Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu stood in the middle to get the ball, and Ronald De Boer immediately made a sliding tackle.

Click——

Dejan Lu dunked his right foot and ran directly to the left. Rijkaard wanted to double-team from the other side.

Dejan Lu simply dribbled the ball forward.

Irwin was already following behind him.

After all the defensive players came over, Dejan Lu turned his heel while running and accurately passed the ball to Irwin. He rushed to the top corner of the penalty area immediately.

This action made Rijkaard hesitate for a moment and did not go up to press Irwin.

In his opinion, the threat of Irwin is really limited.

What role can a full-back who only knows how to cross play?

Irwin found that he failed to attract the opponent to attack, so he gave the ball to Redondo and pulled it to the sideline.

Redondo immediately passed the ball straight after receiving the ball.

grass!

Rijkaard was almost furious.

Just pass the ball to Dejan Lu in front of him?

There are four defensive players around Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu, who received the ball on the line of the penalty area, started directly.

The ball was quite powerful, and the center of gravity was not stable when it started. He shook his shoulders, causing Frank·De Boer to miss the best opportunity to take the ball.

Rijkaard rushed towards Dejan Lu and stretched out his left foot. Dejan Lu passed the ball to the right with his left foot.

Sombrero flick turned sideways and pressed his center of gravity, narrowly avoiding Rijkaard's feet.

Litmanen, who returned to the penalty area, rushed towards Dejan Lu, but Dejan Lu had already twisted and kicked up at this time.

Danny Blinded saw this and quickly jumped sideways, trying to block the long shot.

Bang——

But the next second, Blinded discovered that he had guessed wrong. The ball looked powerful, but it was actually a pass.

Their attention was focused on Dejan Lu, but they did not notice McClair on the defense line.

The ball flew accurately in front of McClair. Wales, the international player, stepped forward with his right foot and stretched out his left foot, easily clearing the ball. Reiziger wanted to steal it, but McClair didn't need to adjust at all. He turned around and hit the goal with one kick.

Van der Sar simply misjudged the direction. Unexpectedly, McClair would choose to play on the right side and could only watch the ball roll into the goal.

"Dejan, beautiful, Dejan!!!"

McClair turned around and ran away excitedly.

Immediately a bear hug hugged Dejan Lu.

He knew that starting with Dejan Lu today, he would definitely score a goal.

The ball came too fast and too easy!

He didn't even encounter any decent defense. The biggest difficulty was just stopping the ball.

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan assisted McClair again!"

"The tacit understanding between the two of them is getting better and better. Before, we thought that Dejan and Cantona were the future of Manchester United. Now it seems that the tacit understanding between Brian·McClair and Dejan is better. Maybe they will be the golden guns for Manchester United to conquer Europe..."
