Paolo·Paolo Maldini turned over and stood up.

"Dejan, I don't know what Flaubert said, but remember, Paolo·Paolo Maldini said that he will never give up defeating you."

Paolo Maldini said.

"Come on, Paolo."

Dejan Lu stretched out his hand and said.

Paolo Maldini glanced at it and squeezed Dejan Lu's hand hard.

The reporters were not stingy with their film and kept pressing the spotlight to record this moment.

Cruyff said emotionally, "Paolo Maldini will not fall, and AC Milan will not sink. Cesare's son Paolo will be our future captain, and Paolo will also have his children in the future. This family will fight with Milan until the end..."

Even wealthy families have their peaks and valleys.

But as long as the kids who grew up here stick around, the team will get back on track one day.

Paolo Maldini, who immediately cheered up after being briefly depressed, also makes people believe this.

Rossoneri is disappointed but also full of expectations.

Even if he can't win against Dejan Lu, there is still Paolo·Paolo Maldini's son.

Even if Dejan Lu can play for as many years as Matthäus, there is still a grandson of Paolo·Paolo Maldini.

As the person involved, Paolo Maldini suppressed his blush.

Staring at Dejan Lu.

Damn, this bastard is so powerful!

Dejan Lu let go after a few seconds, and Paolo Maldini's hands were white and purple.

Paolo·Paolo Maldini pretended to fix her hair and rubbed her right hand hard on her scalp to relieve it.

Dejan Lu looked at Paolo Maldini who was cheering up and couldn't help but smile.

So energetic!

Only a good friend like him would care about a loser at this time.

If only I had a good brother Ballon d'Or.

Dejan the Football King is definitely the winner every year.

Dejan Lu went to Van Basten again and encouraged the Dutch forward.

Franco·Baresi smiled and said, "Dejan That guy is still such a bastard."

"Did you notice it too?" Paolo Maldini asked with a smile.

"Yes, every time he wins, he will perform very decently. This is the greatest pride." Baresi said, "If we can beat him, I will definitely take off my jersey and shorts and rush to him and roar."

Paolo Maldini smiled and shook his head, walking towards the players tunnel.

Even last year's opponents didn't look too miserable when they lost.

As a player from a wealthy team like AC Milan, he can't be inferior to a team like Barcelona that doesn't even have the Champions League.

Players from both sides returned to the channel one after another.

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more lively.

Commentators all over the world are describing the greatness of this match.

I can't wait to put my thoughts directly into the fans' minds.

"We lost, but only to a great opponent. No need to say anything because of Dejan and the like. Ferguson's Manchester United is getting stronger visibly. That coach's team is completely different from the last time I explained Cup Winners' Cup."

Cruyff said with emotion, "This Scotland man has great characteristics. He will never stand still with a set of tactics. Even if Dejan does not go to Manchester United, Manchester United will become the European champion one day in the future. Dejan only But it greatly shortened the process. Of course, if it weren't for Dejan, Manchester United would not have been able to complete the reversal today. Rather than losing the championship, I am more afraid of AC Milan's future image. Maybe every time someone mentions the classic reversal, they will talk about that night in Vienna in 1995."

As a senior commentator.

He knew very well that this was going to happen.

Even if he is commentating, he will use the classic failure of his mortal enemy to tease him. Could it be that Rossoneri can escape?

Sky Sports live broadcast room.

Jim Beglin said, "Finally, Ferguson's team became the first team to win the Champions League after the ban. More than 20 years of waiting have not been in vain. The children of Ferguson have become European champions. There are still children of Busby sitting in the stands and on the coaching bench. This is the legacy of the Red Devils."

"Yes, it is a pity that Sir Matt Busby passed away in December last year and could not see Manchester United win the trophy again, but whether it is him or Ferguson, the two Scotland coaches have quite good vision. When Ferguson signed Dejan, Sir Matt Busby expressed his support for Ferguson. Perhaps he had thought of everything that happened now. The man who once escaped the clutches of death had long known that Dejan would definitely return in this way and lead Manchester United to Europe!"

"Bobby Charlton was as excited as a child and hugged George Best fiercely. After these legendary players retired, what they were most worried about was the results of the team. Fortunately, this team has resilience and strength, and they persisted until the end. What is even more frightening is that except for old players like Bruce and Robson, the main players The ages are 28-year-old Cantona, 26-year-old Redondo, 24-year-old Keane, 24-year-old Dejan, and Scholes who played today is 21 years old, Gary Neville and Beckham are 20 years old... This age distribution is destined to be the best team in the world for a long time to come, no one!"

AC Milan players have cheered up.

This is also relative to their mental state at the end of the game.

After being three goals ahead and being defeated, no matter how determined you are mentally, it will be difficult for you to recover in such a short period of time.

Under the leadership of Baresi, Milan players received medals one after another.

Their faces were full of confusion and unwillingness.

Almost everyone couldn't help but look back when they walked out of the stadium.

But no matter how reluctant you are to give up, you still have to walk into the dark passage.

With their departure, the atmosphere at the Ernst Happel Arena finally reached its peak today.

Even Rossoneri all admit that this red team deserves to win the championship.

If the opponent is not AC Milan, they will also enjoy the game and cheer for the final result.

Dejan Lu and his teammates allowed the whole world to witness the fairy tale of this summer.

The performance truly illustrates that sentence - no one knows what will happen until the last second on the football field.

For a long time in the future, this game will be used to encourage those young players, and even teams at the same level will continue to mention the miracles created by the Red Devils.

"United!"

"Dejan!!!"

"Saint Dejan!!!"

This is a name that hasn't been called out in a long time.

But no one felt awkward.

Dejan Lu dominated the game today.

He used his strength to snatch the trophy away from AC Milan's arms.

Even the Manchester United players believe that Dejan Lu will get 90% of the trophy, and the remaining half will be given to Schmeichel, Redondo and McClair.

Gary·Neville walked in the front, wishing to straighten up like in "Tom and Jerry".

His original height of 1.8 meters suddenly increased to 1.75 meters due to the forward tilt of his pelvis, and he still felt very imposing.

"I never thought such a day would come."

Steve·Bruce, walking behind Dejan Lu, sighed.

He is already 35 years old.

Even if he does not retire at this age, he will soon be away from the main position of the wealthy team due to injuries or other reasons.

Winning the Champions League before retiring is simply the best thing.

"If you don't retire, you'll still have a chance next year."

Redondo said.

Bruce was choked.

He immediately smiled and shook his head.

He is really old, a young man nowadays.

One is more confident than the other.

"Congratulations..."

"You did very well today, kid..."

Charlton and Johansson stood together and presented awards to Manchester United players.

When it was Dejan Lu's turn, Bobby·Charlton immediately held Dejan Lu's hands and opened his mouth but made no sound.

Dejan Lu took out his left hand and patted Charlton's hand.

Johansson's face was filled with laughter.

Quickly step forward and stand on tiptoe to help Dejan Lu put on the medal.

The UEFA chairman said, "I knew your story was not over yet. If Champions Cup didn't have you, it would have to be renamed the Runner-up Cup."

"I will tell the reporters this later."

Dejan Lu joked.

Johansson said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter even if they know. After watching today's game, you know that there is no better player than you, even the Brazilian football king who always wants to control you."

Chairman UEFA also imitated the movements of a puppet on strings.

Dejan Lu couldn't help but shake his head.

Although Pelé has status, some of his ideas are obviously contrary to the current mainstream coaches in European football.

Just like today's opponent Capello, and Bayern's previous Trapattoni.

They don't want to see 13 dribbles in a single game and end up losing. They would rather win everything boringly 1:0.

Naturally there will be voices against Pelé.

And the voice is not quiet.

This is essentially a confrontation between utilitarian football and attacking football.

Dejan Lu doesn't want to make any comments.

Dejan the Football King How to play depends mainly on your mood.

After everyone got their medals, it was finally time to toast.

"Come on, Dejan!"

Bruce waved and shouted.

"It's okay, just go with Brian. I've done it many times."

Dejan Lu said with a smile and pulled Cantona.

He has played and won medals before.

Just like that, the two old captains stood in front.

Dejan Lu is standing in the second row. On the left is Redondo. On the right is Cantona. Next to Cantona is Scholes. If he stood behind, he wouldn't be able to see it.

Three,

Two,

One!

As the audience counted down, Steve·Bruce and Brian·Robson lifted the Champions League trophy together.

"Champion!!!"

"Champion!!!"

"Champion!!!"

The song played live was "COME ON YOU REDS".

The song originally prepared for the FA Cup finals has now become Champions Cup's.

McClair probably didn't think of this when he and Sharp were discussing this matter.

This song is currently number one in the UK charts.

It's only fitting that a championship song is sung by a championship player to celebrate a championship.

"...For ninety minutes we'll let them know. It's Man United, Here we go! Man United, Here we go!"

Sharp was the first to rush to the camera. He took out a piece of paper from nowhere and shouted to the camera, "If you are younger than 23 and older than 18, taller than 165cm and less than 175cm, and have measurements around 34-22-34, you can contact me. I am currently single..."

Ferguson looked at the unreliable disciple with a black look on his face.

Damn, I'm embarrassed in front of the whole world.

"Brian, how long will Sharp's contract last?"

Ferguson asked through gritted teeth.

"Three years."

Kidd said.

"Then it shouldn't be too much to ask him to lead the youth team to win a championship and then come back, right?"

Kidd nodded.

This kid Sharp is miserable!

Beckham looked at Sharp with some envy.

He's not that bold.

Scholes raised his eyebrows and said, "We can spend money together to help David find a girlfriend in the newspaper. Anyway, he is already desperate for her."

Gary·Neville glanced at Scholes and immediately nodded vigorously.

This sounds very interesting.

But you still need to plan well.

If it is published in the newspaper, Ferguson will not let them go.

In Manchester, Ferguson's informants are everywhere, even if they want to be anonymously published in the newspaper.

As an important family member, little Schmeichel once again appeared at the championship scene.

But this time he didn't call Dejan Lu to decide the winner.

The scene of Dejan Lu lobbing Rossi from 50 meters gave him quite an impact.

If it were him, he might not even be able to make a save.

"Dejan, why don't you introduce me?"

Sharp smiled and approached Dejan Lu and asked.

Dejan Lu said angrily, "It's not like you don't know me."

"But I heard you have a girlfriend."

Sharp said.

"Go away, idiot!"

Bruce kicked it over.

There is no secret in front of "The Sun", and he has heard about it.

Sachiko is now the queen of ost. Japanese primary school students turn on the TV and no matter what cartoon they watch, they basically listen to her singing first.

If she didn't sing it, then the money wasn't enough.

She should be able to take some time off in the summer, just in time for the whole family to go on vacation.

"Dejan, go to the press conference after the urine test."

Kidd came over and reminded.

Dejan Lu walked towards where the UEFA staff member was standing.

The mixed interview area was quite busy.

Gary·Neville accepted the interview first.

"How are you feeling now, Gary?"

the reporter asked.

Neville said with a smile on his face, "This is a dream come true, especially when we were trailing 1:4 at halftime, I thought I was going to lose."

"How do you feel about scoring the winning goal?"

the reporter asked.

"I'm very happy. This is the most important moment in my career. But today's game is thanks to Dejan. He is unbelievable. He scored one goal, two assists, created the last two corner kicks, and used the corner kick to instigate the goal. This is great. For example, if you play basketball with Jordan and you win the game 111 to 110, these 111 points are directly related to him. Even if he is already the best player, it still feels incredible." Neville said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bruce pulled him away.

I was afraid that this young teammate would talk nonsense.

The older generation of players are not very cool with reporters.

Everton's previous coaches wouldn't even allow their games to be televised, let alone give interviews.

When Dejan Lu arrived at the press conference, Baresi was answering reporters' questions.

Baresi said, "Losing the game makes everyone disappointed, but there are never two winners in football. Last year we won, this year we lost."

"Someone saw Paolo Maldini popping champagne at midfield. Did your arrogance cause you to lose?"

the reporter asked.

Baresi said with some annoyance, "There is no such thing at all, Paolo would not do such a thing, and we left the locker room together. No one opened champagne during the halftime break, and we did not celebrate. Our opponent is Manchester United, with Dejan's Manchester United. I don't think we have won in the midfield."

Capello took the microphone and said, "Your questions are full of arrogance. Maybe you should learn to respect people before asking questions. We lost a final, but we had a successful season, that's it."

After saying that, Capello got up and left with Baresi.

He was clearly upset by the reporter's questions.

"Mr. Ferguson, can you tell me how you feel now?"

the reporter asked.

Ferguson immediately became excited, smiled and shook his head and said, "I can't believe it, football is so fucking damned. We never gave up until the final victory."

"When you made substitutions in the second half, did you know that Cole would play an important role?"

the reporter asked.

"I don't know anything." Ferguson said with a smile, "I was the one who made the substitution, but it was the players who made the final kill. Everyone who played today performed very well, including David. I believe he will grow a lot after the game."

"You mean Beckham will still gain your trust in the future?"

the reporter asked in surprise.

"Of course, I will not give up on a talented young man just because of one mistake. David is like a perpetual motion machine. He never gets tired on the court. The most important thing is that he also has a good passing skill."

Ferguson said.

"Some people say that Mark·Hughes is about to leave the team. His agent has frequent contact with the top management of Manchester City. Is it because of this that you didn't let him play today?"

the reporter asked.

Ferguson immediately opened his eyes and said, "I will never choose players for anything other than tactics. Leave with your problems and get out of here!"

FXCK OFF.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that Ferguson was angry.

Dejan Lu pulled the microphone and said, "All the coach's arrangements are reasonable. He also told us the tactics in the locker room and what we should do. You only saw the final result, but not the process."

"Did you take frequent long shots today, score goals, and take corner kicks on purpose, Dejan?"

the reporter asked.

"I wanted to try my luck with the long-range shot. That long-range shot created a corner kick with the idea. After all, AC Milan's defense is very good. It is difficult to instigate an attack. But if there is a corner kick, we can attack directly."

Dejan Lu said.

"Today's goal is all related to you. Some people say that you can almost win the game by yourself. What do you think?"

the reporter asked.

"Well, fortunately he didn't say that I can definitely win the game." Dejan Lu rolled his eyes and said, "I can't win anything without my teammates. Such a question should not appear in the post-game press conference of team sports."

"The press conference is here, we still have to celebrate."

Ferguson stood up and said.

Dejan Lu stood up with a smile and left with him.

After the team changed in the locker room, they returned to the hotel.

The hotel had prepared everything needed for the reception early.

Even if it's a loss, it's just removing some decorations, not taking things away.

No wealthy family would be so stingy.

Especially since the team has won the Premier League championship.

As today's protagonist, Dejan Lu drank a lot.

He didn't even know how to get back to the room.

But when he reached out and touched it the next day, he knew that this was not the room he and Redondo lived in together.

"Don't make trouble..."

The Princess patted Dejan Lu and said.

Dejan Lu rubbed his temples and asked, "Did you say when you would go back?"

"The flight is at noon, so stop making trouble."

Monica muttered and said.

Dejan Lu looked at the time and saw that there were still more than two hours, which was indeed not enough.

He lay down and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep again.

It wasn't until 11 o'clock that Kidd came and knocked on the door that the three of them got up.

On the bus, my teammates looked like they were awake.

They played late yesterday.

Those old guys are drunkards.

Ferguson There is no limit to their celebration.

When we got on the plane, almost everyone was catching up on their sleep.

But the reports about this final did not fall into a dream like the protagonist.

There are no European Championship and World Cup this summer.

The Champions League final is the most important game.

There was overwhelming coverage of the game.

The reporter of "The Times" interviewed Manchester City famous player Trautmann on the spot. This legendary goalkeeper also watched the game in Viana.

As Yashin talks about being as great a goalkeeper as he is.

Trautmann's experience is even more legendary.

He was a Nazi prisoner of war. When he was playing football with the prisoners of war, he was noticed by the St. Helens coach, so he pulled him to play together. In the end, he successfully avoided relegation. After that, Trautmann was signed by Manchester City.

It even caused an anti-German trend in Manchester.

However, his performance and good character still earned him recognition from fans.

In the final against Birmingham FA Cup, his neck was broken by an opponent's kick, but he still insisted on finishing the game to help Manchester City win the trophy. He lost consciousness on the way back to the locker room.

This performance made him a newspaper hero.

Bert Trautmann said, "I really hope that Manchester City will play in the final, but it is a pity that it is Manchester United. I can't even describe this game. I have played against Charlton and many other players, but I guarantee that Dejan is the best player in the history of football. If you like football and don't like Dejan, then I suggest you have a look at your head."

"Manchester Evening News" wrote, "This great night will be remembered forever in Vienna. Dejan and his teammates allowed the world to witness the most charming game in football. This is also the best game in the history of Champions Cup."

"Financial Times" wrote, "The courtside sponsorship of this final created history. UEFA made a lot of money through the final between Manchester United and AC Milan. The influence of football made those manufacturers realize the importance of sponsoring a football team. More and more teams will be sponsored in the future, which is a good thing for football."

"The Sun": "We got news that after Lothar Matthäus married Switzerland star Morena last year, he immediately cheated on Munich, a girl from a local nightclub. There has been a rift in the relationship between the two."

"La Gazzetta dello Sport": "Rossoneri failed to defend the title. In the final analysis, it is all Galliani's fault."

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Totti said that if it were him, he would definitely not lose control of his emotions. David·Beckham also needs to control his emotions if he wants to be a qualified Dejan teammate."

"Mundo Deportivo": "After Stoichkov was destined to leave the team, Cruyff set his sights on Lisbon. We are very sure that he is preparing to introduce Lisbon winger Luis Figo."

"Bild newspaper" is the one that brings the most important news.

They wrote, "Based on information within Bayern, we concluded that Lothar Matthäus has been abandoned by Bayern, and Bayern easily made a choice between Scholl and him. And we have heard that he is currently very close to a team from London. Perhaps he wants to challenge Dejan again, which prompted Lothar Matthäus to make such a decision."

In the afternoon, the Manchester United team returned to Manchester.

As soon as we left the airport, we were blocked by enthusiastic fans.

Ferguson shouted to the fans, "The FA Cup finals are coming next, let the players rest first!"

He didn't even need a loudspeaker to get nearby fans to move out of the way.

The players got on the bus, but the speed of the bus still couldn't be increased.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the police Manchester managed to maintain the mood of the fans and allowed the bus to slowly leave the airport.

The three of them were still resting after returning home.

It was only the next day that Dejan Lu saw overwhelming reports.

What concerned him more was that Lothar Matthäus was coming to Premier League.

I remember correctly, Gullit and many Italy players will also come to Premier League next season.

This fucking reunion happens again.

But Three Musketeers can't beat Dejan the Football King, so why should Chelsea challenge Dejan the Football King on his own?

That's somewhat impossible.

Even so Dejan Lu feels very interesting.

The next Premier League is going to be exciting.

Before the FA Cup final against Everton, the Carrington base is always surrounded by reporters.

Everyone wants to dig out some news about Manchester United players.

Even in June, the enthusiasm for that final has not subsided at all.

After training, Kidd went to the sidelines to remind, "You'd better not talk nonsense to reporters, otherwise everyone will be punished like Li. Alex will not joke with you."

"Got it, Brian."

Steve·Bruce said, "It's not the first day you met us, and it's not easy to find the second Sharp."

Kidd smiled and nodded.

After the finals, Kidd's cell phone kept ringing.

That guy seems to have changed his mobile phone number recently.

"We still have one day to rest before the finals. Should we go out and relax?"

Schmeichel asked.

He really likes playing with Dejan Lu.

"Then ask everyone to come together."

Dejan Lu said.

There was quite a discussion after saying this in the locker room.

But Manchester is really nothing interesting.

Those are the only places we can go back and forth in one day.

Finally, the first team organized a bowling game and then went home after having dinner together in the evening.

The time comes on June 4th.

The Manchester United team once again embarked on a journey to London.

The FA Cup finals will be held at Wembley, and that stadium has not been lent to Tottenham Hotspur at this time.

The streets of London are filled with enthusiastic fans.

Many Manchester United fans want to witness history with the team, and will wait outside the stadium even if they have not bought a ticket.

As long as they win FA Cup, Manchester United will become an unprecedented treble champion.

Looking at the enthusiastic fans outside the window, the Manchester United players cheered up.

"I heard that the Queen is going to confer honors on us."

Gary·Neville said while holding the newspaper.

"I don't want any medals, and I don't need the British to award me medals." Redondo glanced at Dejan Lu and said.

Dejan Lu It is impossible to go to the Buckingham Palace in this situation.

Then he won't go either.

"But..."

Neville wanted to talk again, but Scholes kicked him.

This guy is not clever at all.

They do this kind of thing incidentally, and it doesn't depend on what the team boss wants.

Schmeichel said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's better to give more bonuses."

He still feels bad about those investments that lost money.

"That's true."

Bruce said.

As a British man, of course he wanted to receive an award.

But as a teammate of Dejan Lu, his stance is very firm.

You can't rely on Dejan Lu to win the championship here, and just accept the fucking badge of Charles instead.

Players ultimately have to rely on championships to speak for themselves.

Seeing that it was time for Wembley, Ferguson stood up and stood in front of the bus and reminded, "I don't need to say the importance of today's game. Don't lose your honor at the last minute. Whether you become a triple crown champion or only win two championships depends on your performance today. I will not let Dejan start. If you can't handle it, Dejan will appear..."

This was originally a method of provoking generals.

But it doesn't work very well for Manchester United players.

Dejan Lu is really strong at the critical moment.

No one in the team can guarantee that they can win without Dejan Lu playing.

Everton is also a tough one.

At this time, it is not even worse than their rival Liverpool in the same city.

The closer to Wembley, the slower the bus speed.

There are cheering fans on the roadside.

There were even some local Manchester United fans in London.

Somewhat boring Dejan Lu opened the system selection lottery.

[Your good brother Fernando·Redondo has a lot of hair. He has always been proud of his long hair, so he selected a player who is troubled by his hair. Ding, get the 9th round of the 2002-2003 season Premier League, Everton VS Arsenal, Wayne·Rooney single game experience card...]
