Cantona doesn't like sitting in the stands.
I don't even want to take advantage of my teammates' trophies after being suspended.
That's why I chose "cold".
Unexpectedly, Dejan Lu mentioned his name.
As a person who is more emotional than rational, Cantona does care more about the feelings in his heart.
There are Ferguson and Dejan Lu at Manchester United, as well as other good teammates. It seems that he will not be able to announce his retirement in the short term.
After thinking about it for a while, Cantona decided to face it head-on.
In the next game, go to the stands and cheer for your teammates instead of running away like a coward.
The 7-month suspension in the new season is coming, and then let the whole world witness his return as king with Dejan Lu.
English First Division plus Premier League won three consecutive championships.
Manchester United dominated the front pages of almost every newspaper.
"The Times" wrote, "It took Ferguson less than ten years to build a dynasty for Manchester United again. Although Dejan was very decisive, Ferguson led Manchester United to win many trophies before him., this Scotland coach has proven that he is one of the best coaches in football. Even Matt Busby firmly supported Ferguson when the results were not good at first, and Sir Matt Busby once again proved his vision."
"The Guardian": "Premier League will also be improved to a three-point system next season, and Manchester United is likely to become the first team to win the championship with 100 points. As early as 1981, the England low-level league introduced the three-point system. Until the Italy league was launched this season, English football has been at the forefront of the world."
"Financial Times" has a pile of gold coins painted on it, and the title is "Manchester United Effect." They wrote, "After Dejan joined Manchester United, Manchester United has become one of the most watched teams in the world. Sharp, which has sponsored Manchester United since 1982, has encountered challenges. Currently, many merchants from all over the world want to win the chest advertisement of Manchester United jerseys."
"The Sun": "Mark·Hughes's agent has made contact with Manchester City, and the possibility of him leaving the team in the summer is increasing."
Dejan Lu It was already past ten o'clock when I got up.
I saw a message from Redondo on the BP machine.
He took his cell phone to the yard to make a call, and soon Redondo appeared at the gate and waved.
It's so convenient to live close by.
"What's wrong Fernando?"
Dejan Lu asked with a smile.
"I have a great idea for comics!"
Redondo said excitedly, "How about drawing a flashback in the next issue, where Ogawa became the Pokémon master decades later or how to recall the happiness of the past."
"It's a very good idea, I'm going to draw it now!"
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
Isn't that what early novels like to do?
"Mercenary World" just did this thing when nothing happened, and finally killed Da Qingshan.
It's not novel even for this day and age, but there's no need to spoil the fun.
Dejan Lu and Redondo went to the study together.
As a loyal reader of "Pokémon", Redondo has a lot of suggestions.
However, Dejan Lu is not a complete reference.
After all, readers don't consider things that comprehensively.
These days, it doesn't matter if there are some profound thoughts in comics, but Zi Gong still needs to bring more happiness to children.
In the memory, it is set that Ogawa misses Pikachu, which means he simply doesn't want to sell comics.
No matter how long the life of an electric mouse is, Ogawa's one is special. Why can't it live for tens or even hundreds of years?
Dejan Lu understands very well that if you don't make readers happy, you won't be able to feel better.
The last two drew for more than an hour and completed a simple line drawing with some clues hidden in it.
It doesn't matter if the background painting is a little more complicated.
I can't think of any use now, but fans will help you find a reasonable explanation.
"When I went to London, I also customized a suit for you, just in time for Ballon d'Or to wear it this year." Redondo said.
"The size is not measured..."
Dejan Lu said.
Customizing something doesn't require several measurements.
Redondo pointed at his eyes and said, "I can tell just by looking at it. When the time comes, you can try it and let him change it."
Dejan Lu gave a thumbs up.
Good brother, these eyes are really extraordinary, a three-dimensional human body scanner.
It doesn't take a minute to see through those pads.
In the afternoon, many people were called out of their homes.
The Manchester United first team went to the recording studio together.
The song thing I mentioned before has already come to an end.
Just in time to record before the FA Cup finals.
There are still two trophies left to compete for this season, FA Cup and the Champions League.
As for League Cup, Manchester United was eliminated by Newcastle United in October, and Dejan Lu had not yet come back at that time.
Many people held wine bottles in their hands.
These big stars are still very nervous at this time.
"Dejan, please stand in front."
McClair waved and said.
Dejan Lu walked to the front.
He listened to a few words and found that his teammates were mainly divided into two types.
One is that singing is not good, and you know it, so you don't dare to open your mouth.
Now I can only rely on drinking to strengthen my courage.
The other kind is Gary·Neville and Paolo·Ince. They sing out of tune and are so damn intoxicating.
Looking at it this way, Dejan the Football King can be regarded as Busby, the god of singing.
"I'm your fan, Dejan."
Johan Edwards stretched out his hand and said.
McClair introduced, "This guy is the bassist of the Status Quo band, but he is a season ticket holder of Brentford."
"This song was written by me, Mike Holdenby, and Andrew Bowen. Andrew is our keyboard player, but unfortunately there are Tottenham Hotspur fans and Crystal Palace fans in the band, but there are no Manchester United fans."
Edwards said.
"That's good, at least you're not supporting the team for the championship."
Dejan Lu blinked and said, "For a long time in the future, the championship will only belong to Manchester United."
Edwards laughed and shook his head.
There were some troubles at the beginning of the recording.
Many players couldn't open their mouths.
Phillip·Neville was fed too much by Big Brother.
He will suffer when he returns to the team tomorrow.
Fortunately, after simple tuning, the players' confidence has been greatly enhanced.
After the first run-in, we immediately agreed on the next time.
Before the FA Cup finals, this song will be available on major radio stations.
Due to the Champions League final, FA Cup was postponed to early June, giving Manchester United ample time to prepare.
In the last four rounds, Manchester United ended with three wins and one draw, which was considered a successful conclusion to the season.
Then the whole team flew to Austria together.
This season's Champions League final will be held at the Ernst Happel Arena in Vienna, the Austrian capital.
This stadium only changed its name a few years ago. It was previously called Prater Stadium.
The name was changed to commemorate the passing of Austrian player and coach Ernst Happel.
After arriving in London, the team took a flight of less than 3 hours and landed in Vienna.
As soon as they left the airport, the Manchester United first team was surrounded by reporters.
Redondo and many young people on the team straightened their backs.
Beckham also deliberately pointed his handbag LOGO towards the camera.
It's a pity that the reporter's attention is not on him.
"Serie A is not over yet, which is a good thing for you, right?"
"Dejan, who do you think is the hardest to deal with in the lineup of old rival AC Milan?"
"Mr. Ferguson, I heard that you brought your own chef. Are you worried about the Austrians?"
"Dejan, you have never lost to AC Milan. Will this give you greater confidence?"
"Alex, where will Manchester United recruit players in the summer? Will you introduce Ajax players?"
"Dejan, you have many friends in South America. Which team do you support in the America's Cup this summer?"
"Karl von Habsburg said he would watch the game live. Thank you the Royal Family for saving Europe. Do you think he is qualified to inherit Austria?"
"..."
Dejan Lu:...
Your mother.
He rarely wants to curse.
But Austria has long since abolished the Royal Family.
What does the Habsburg family have to do with him?
Do you really think Dejan the Football King is the king of Genoa?
Ferguson waved his hand in disgust. Kidd and other members of the coaching staff immediately went over to stop the reporter and escorted the first team to the bus.
"Dejan is really popular."
Beckham looked out the window and said.
"In two years you will too."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
At this time, Beckham is indeed very young.
I can't even tell what the heartthrob looked like later on.
"It would be great if it were true. I must find a very beautiful girlfriend."
Beckham said.
"Stop dreaming David." Gary·Neville said from the side, "A character like yours will not be liked by women. Maybe you will still be single when you retire."
"Women really don't like men who are too refined."
Redondo nodded and said.
Who would look into a mirror with a candle?
Dejan Lu was snickering on the side.
Beckham will be worried too.
But Victoria is really not a good choice.
That woman had a more negative impact on his career and life. Even at such an old age, he had to go out to make money and pay off his debts.
Not to mention that the children are poorly educated and don't even have a good skin.
Dejan Lu won't care about anything else.
But I will never watch Beckham and Victoria come together.
Manchester United ordered Vienna Concert Hall Belle Vue Hotel.
After the bus arrived, the Manchester United players were surprised by the grandeur of the hotel.
It is a completely Baroque palace building with a huge courtyard.
Not to mention those young people Class of '92, Bruce, Dejan Lu, Redondo, this is the first time I have seen such a classic hotel.
Maybe it has something to do with the city where it is located.
"We didn't book the entire hotel, so don't cause trouble everywhere."
Ferguson reminded me when I was about to get off the car.
"Got it, boss!"
Sharp said with a smile.
He couldn't wait to choose a room.
It would probably be more pleasant if you brought your little star here for vacation.
Maybe I can come to Vienna again with my girlfriend in the summer.
As soon as we got off the bus, Scholes took a camera and secretly took pictures.
He acted as if he was stepping on the right spot, fearing that others would notice him.
He is a bit more lively to his youth team teammates and sometimes does some pranks.
But he was very dull in the first team.
"Paolo, do you need me to take a photo for you?"
Dejan Lu asked with a smile.
"Is that okay?"
Scholes asked.
Dejan Lu took the camera directly from his hand.
Scholes stood in front of the hotel but didn't know how to pose.
"Fernando, help him."
Dejan Lu said.
"Don't be nervous, Dejan is not the editor of a fashion magazine." Redondo walked up and said.
He made Scholes sit on the edge of the fountain, putting one hand on his knee and looking into the distance.
Click——
Dejan Lu took two pictures and shouted to Scholes, "Relax and try a less artistic look."
Now Scholes was stumped again.
Gary·Neville moved forward and hugged Scholes's shoulders.
In this era, such actions between men would not be suspected of sexual orientation.
"Paolo, open your arms, Gary, wrap your arms around his waist from behind." Dejan Lu encouraged.
Gary·Neville immediately complied and put his head on Scholes's shoulder with a shy look, which made Scholes feel disgusted.
Dejan Lu Shoot hard.
The rest of the first team followed to watch the fun.
"Titanic" hasn't been released yet.
Otherwise it would be more interesting.
Arriving in Vienna, which is full of classic atmosphere and has good weather, the first-team players were much more active.
The photo session alone lasted a long time, and all the film was used up.
Even the coaching staff took a lot of photos at the instigation of the first team.
If it weren't for the lack of suitable scenery, Ferguson might have copied Maradona·Brando's classic look.
His usual behavior in the locker room really looks like the boss of Italian Mafia.
Until dinner, the whole team was putting their luggage in the room one after another.
In order to take care of the team's eating habits, they bring their own chefs.
They will use the hotel kitchen to prepare every meal for Manchester United players.
This is also for safety reasons.
In 1990, Blanco claimed that he had been drugged, which has always been considered a sophistry, but it still made many teams wary.
Dejan Lu remembers that Diego Maradona later admitted to this incident that he gave Blanco the problematic water, which contained tranquilizers, and said that this incident was planned by Argentina coach Bilardo.
It just so happened that Bilardo was a serious medical student, not a 4+4.
At that time, Argentina, the dead ball player, was replenishing water, and Blanco also went up to ask for water.
The person Argentina drank from was indeed a transparent bottle, but the one given to Blanco was a green opaque bottle.
It's better to be careful about this kind of thing.
Even just one staff member's impromptu decision can ruin a team's efforts.
"Italy people have to go back to play in the league after the Champions League. It's really hard." Gary·Neville said after sitting down with a dinner plate.
"But we played 42 rounds and they only had 34!"
Redondo said.
At this time, Premier League still has 22 teams, with 4 promoted and relegated.
Coupled with FA Cup and League Cup, if they are not eliminated, they will play 20 more games per season than teams in other leagues.
"This is true."
Gary·Neville nodded and said.
Not long after, Cantona also sat down with a dinner plate, and Gary·Neville closed his mouth.
"Will the boss let you appear?"
Redondo asked.
"No."
Cantona raised his head and said, "I don't want to appear, as if I'm stealing other people's opportunities."
"Aren't you tired of talking like this?"
Redondo asked.
Cantona was stunned for a moment and then said, "I'm just used to this."
Gary·Neville, who was sitting next to him, tried hard not to laugh.
Dejan Lu stepped on him quickly.
If he laughed out loud, Cantona would probably remember him forever.
For those who want face, don't hurt their face.
Gary·Neville immediately held it back.
"How about AC Milan?"
Cantona asked.
"Very strong!"
Dejan Lu said, "Their defense is very good. Although I don't want to say it, Baresi's defense line is stronger than Steve's."
"That's true. Paolo Maldini is not easy to deal with either."
Redondo nodded and said.
"It's a pity that I can't face them." Cantona said, putting down the cup.
"You are not banned from the Champions League."
Gary·Neville muttered.
"I don't want to cause trouble."
Cantona glared at him and said.
The most important thing is that he feels that he has no contribution in the league, so he comes to play in the Champions League, like a thief.
Someone as proud as him couldn't do that.
While eating, Dejan Lu talked about some things that happened when Genoa was playing football.
In terms of weather and culture alone, Italy is more livable than the UK.
When I returned to the room at night, Dejan Lu watched TV for a while.
12 days of preparation time is too much for a final.
This also shows how inappropriate the FA is.
Although the FA Cup final has been rescheduled, Manchester United played more than 60 games this season and ended the league earlier than their opponents. It is no wonder that even people like Keane are frequently injured.
The next day, the Manchester United first team borrowed the Rapid Wien training ground.
There were reporters everywhere during training.
I can't wait to take pictures of every moment.
AC Milan's history is great enough, and Manchester United is also a European giant.
This kind of collision is already the most intense competition in European football, especially since there are no major competitions in the summer.
Before their opponents arrived in Vienna, Manchester United was the focus of media pursuit around the world.
Even during lunch, a British reporter pretended to be a Rapid Wien staff member and sneaked into Manchester United's temporary canteen.
"Damn it, one day I'm going to blow up Fleet Street!"
Ferguson gritted his teeth and cursed.
If Kidd hadn't caught the reporter, there would have been a big mess.
The players discuss everything when they eat.
"Calm down Alex." Kidd said helplessly, "We should look at finding some local security companies to cooperate now, otherwise we don't know what will happen."
"Let Martin arrange this matter as soon as possible."
Ferguson said.
He also knows how poor British journalists are.
If there is some big news before the finals, it will affect the team's morale.
Especially in recent times, the news between Dejan Lu and the Princess has always been on the front page.
The next day there were more security personnel in black suits at the training base.
But there is still no way to stop the enthusiasm of reporters.
Even some snapshots of training moments were published in newspapers, making it hard not to suspect that they used military-grade filming equipment.
After AC Milan arrived in Vienna, the atmosphere of the finals became even higher.
Celebrities from both sides and legends from both countries often express some of their views in newspapers.
As the first person to discover the talent of Dejan Lu, Rivera said in an interview with "La Gazzetta dello Sport": "I am very happy that Dejan is back on the court, but for Milan, this will be the most difficult thing. Fortunately, we have Paolo and Franco. I believe they will find a way."
Zoff also expressed a similar view. He told reporters, "Every final is tantamount to a war, and this time the opponent is stronger. The good news is that AC Milan is very familiar with Dejan, which may help them."
Peter·Hilton firmly stated that Dejan Lu and Manchester United are invincible.
Pelé, who is on vacation in New York, emphasized his attitude in an interview with "Folha de S.Paulo". He said, "I care more about Dejan's performance than winning or losing. His talent allows him to do anything on the court, but compared to pure winning or losing, I prefer Dejan who will pass all opponents and send the ball into the goal."
Seeing that Pelé did not predict the outcome of the game, Dejan Lu also breathed a sigh of relief.
After putting down the newspaper, Dejan Lu stood up and took out the swimsuit.
"Relax, the finals are tomorrow."
Redondo asked after seeing it.
"Yes, let's go for a swim. There are too many reporters recently and it's impossible to go out." Dejan Lu said.
He also wanted to visit Vienna.
But now there are probably more journalists in Vienna than football practitioners.
"Reporters were like this when we were in South America. They would even invite players to nightclubs for drinks." Redondo said with a smile, "My teammates have called me before, and reporters seem to help arrange women."
"That's a good idea, but never make friends with reporters."
Dejan Lu said.
He thought of Little Curly again.
The kid returned to Manchester United for the second time, and was severely cheated by his reporter friends.
"How come?"
Redondo also got up and looked for a swimsuit. While searching, he said, "I won't interact with reporters at all."
"Sooner or later, I'll get in touch with you, for example, on the pretext of helping you plan your autobiography. Once you get to know each other, I'll get something valuable out of your mouth."
Dejan Lu said.
Many people's autobiographies are like this.
Especially Stam who was kicked away by Ferguson.
Even if the players don't know the severity, the reporters know exactly what to write about that will annoy the coach.
But they don't tell the players.
This is very interesting.
There were not many people in the swimming pool at night. When the two of them arrived, Bruce was sitting on the edge of the swimming pool drinking champagne.
"Drink less."
Dejan Lu said.
Bruce raised the goblet, shook it and said, "I haven't drank a glass all night. My son won't drink Coca-Cola so slowly."
Dejan Lu smiled and waved his hand.
British players like drinking too much, and they don't know where this trend comes from.
The next day.
The whole team got up early to eat.
After breakfast, I recalled the opponent's technical characteristics in the tactics room.
Then just rest and replenish.
It wasn't until after 2 p. m. that the whole team had a pre-match meal and got on the bus.
The atmosphere on the bus was obviously not as lively as before.
Even those players who committed to Ferguson early on participated in the Champions League final for the first time.
Only Dejan Lu and Redondo in the team have played in the finals before.
Beckham was listening to music with headphones, and soon turned around and asked, "Dejan, will the referees of the competition be very strict?"
"Don't worry, it's the same as usual."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
"Italy people's defense is very good?"
Gary·Neville asked.
"Didn't Manchester United encounter Sampdoria before?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"We were all sitting on the bench at that time." Gary·Neville whispered, "If we had played, maybe we wouldn't have lost so miserably."
Dejan Lu mouthed behind him.
"Don't scare me, I've seen this kind of trick too many times."
Gary·Neville said without caring.
Parister stood up, slapped him hard on the shoulder and asked, "Really? Then you'd better not make any mistakes today."
Gary·Neville turned around and saw a few old guys on the defense line staring at him.
They were the ones who were defeated by Sampdoria led by Dejan Lu.
"I'm just talking casually."
Gary·Neville said with a dry smile.
"I remember that coach AC Milan is still learning Chinese." Redondo asked sideways.
"It seems like, Fabio Capello, he was also a good player when he played football."
Dejan Lu said.
Redondo nodded.
He felt that Dejan Lu was very accurate in seeing people.
Before Manchester United's performance had not improved, he was optimistic about Ferguson.
He also said that Capello is a good coach.
It really looks like this now.
The entire Manchester United team arrived at the stadium at around 3 p. m.
Obviously in Vienna, Manchester United also has many fans.
As soon as I got off the bus, I was warmly welcomed by the fans.
"Go directly to the dressing room, Dejan and I will go to the press conference."
Ferguson waved his hand and said.
After entering the stadium, Dejan Lu stood on the side waiting for Ferguson, and the two of them went to the press conference together.
Manchester United arrived earlier today.
After waiting for almost 5 minutes, Capello and Baresi arrived.
Seeing the two people sitting down, the reporters couldn't wait to ask questions.
"Fabio, are you confident of winning?"
"Mr. Ferguson, do you think AC Milan is the strongest opponent?"
"Dejan, do you have anything to say to Paolo?"
"Franco, will it feel special to face Dejan again?"
"Will there be overtime in today's game?"
"..."
Capello nodded and signaled Ferguson to speak first.
Ferguson nodded, took the microphone and said, "Champions Cup The final is very special for everyone. This is the highest honor in European football, especially for Manchester United. Champions Cup It has a special meaning. My assistant coach Brian is a player of Sir Matt Busby. Bobby, George and Dennis also came to Vienna. For us, we must try our best to win this honor."
"Will AC Milan be a difficult opponent? Who is the most difficult player for AC Milan?"
the reporter asked.
Ferguson nodded and said, "AC Milan is one of the greatest teams in history. They have Fan Van Basten, Baresi and Paolo Maldini. Such a team is difficult to defeat. If I have to talk about one person, I think it is Fan Van Basten. He is one of the best forwards I have ever seen."
"Compared to Cantona?"
the reporter asked.
Ferguson was obviously unhappy. He frowned and said, "They are completely different types. Eric and Fan Van Basten can play as double forwards together. Compared to No. 9, Eric is more of a No. 10 player. It's a pity that he is not in the squad today, so I don't want to discuss this matter."
"Some people think that Dejan's private life will affect his performance, what do you think?"
the reporter asked.
"Enough!" Ferguson slapped the table and cursed, "I don't know where you heard this from, but I don't think there is anything wrong with Dejan. If you think Dejan is wrong, then you must be a fool. Even the king's daughter can remarry!"
He was talking about Margaret Tudor, Queen Scotland.
His father is Henry VII.
Many people looked at Capello.
It seems that this Italy coach is more talkative.
"Fabio, do you have any tactics against Dejan?"
the reporter asked.
Capello nodded and said, "We all know that Paolo and Dejan are friends, so I am going to let Paolo defend Dejan. They are more familiar with each other, which may play a big role."
Baresi rolled his eyes on the side.
I didn't expect that Capello could also tell jokes.
Today Paolo Maldini is clearly out of place with Dejan Lu.
The players already know the starting lineup.
"Then do you think Paolo·Paolo Maldini can guard against Dejan?"
the reporter asked.
"This needs to be seen on the court. I think mental strength is also very important." Capello said, "Paolo is one of the best defenders in the world. He is now at the peak of his career. He has the ability to cause trouble for any offensive player."
"Then have you ever thought about playing overtime?"
the reporter asked again.
Capello nodded frankly and said, "Of course I have thought about it. Facing Dejan and Manchester United, every team will consider this matter, and we are naturally no exception."
Seeing that Capello is so easy to talk to but can't find any news.
The reporter finally looked at Dejan Lu.
"Dejan, will you show mercy to Paolo?"
the reporter asked.
Dejan Lu said, "Going all out is respect for the opponent. No matter who the opponent is, and who do you think Paolo is, he is the tenth Ballon d'Or in Europe. If I let it go, it might become a joke."
Many people even Baresi and Capello laughed.
Here it comes, here it comes again!
Familiar Paolo Maldini joke.
Dejan Lu hasn't mentioned it during this time, and AC Milan no one calls him Golden Ball Paolo anymore.
"Then what level do you think Paolo Maldini is at now among defenders?" the reporter asked again.
Dejan Lu said, "Paolo·Paolo Maldini is the best full-back. He can do a lot of things on the wing. Even in Italy history, he is one of the best full-backs. No wide player can easily deal with him."
"Including you?"
the reporter asked.
"Of course."
Dejan Lu said.
"Francesco·Totti is currently preparing for the high school graduation exam. Is there anything you want to say to him?"
the reporter asked.
"Hopefully he can pass."
Dejan Lu said, "The press conference is here, I have to go back to warm up."
Ferguson stood up immediately upon seeing this, and the two of them walked back to the locker room together.
The teammates have already changed their clothes.
Dejan Lu sat down to change clothes and chose the lottery by the way.
[Your good brother Eric·Cantona likes to move behind the forward, but he is more inclined to attack in the midfield, so select a player who is more active in the midfield. Won the 1978 World Cup final, German team VS Netherlands team, Johan·Neeskens single game experience card]
