"Dejan!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"What a goal!"

"Dejan was very decisive and used speed to play a high-quality counterattack, and finally used a side hook to successfully send the ball into the Arsenal goal."

"Judging from the score, both sides have returned to the same starting line, but I am looking forward to the next game more and more. Both Arsenal and Manchester United played very well today."

"Wenger's Arsenal plays wonderful team football, while Manchester United still plays Dejan plus team football."

After scoring the goal, Dejan Lu rushed to the away fans' stand near the corner flag area.

Manchester United players rushed over one after another.

"This goal is really beautiful, Dejan!"

Butt said.

"Did you let him pounce on you on purpose?"

Cantona asked.

Dejan Lu smiled and shook his head.

Just now I was dribbling the ball at high speed from left to right, and it was not easy to exert force at that time.

If you use your left foot, you will slide past like many left-footed players.

That's why Dejan Lu chose to twist around and use his right foot to exert force.

There are defenders interfering in the rush, and it is impossible to play high-quality balls.

Dejan Lu chose to push forward.

The position is relatively high, so Seaman needs to jump up and pounce. There are only two possibilities for this ball. One is that Seaman cannot pounce, and the other is that Seaman blocks the ball and bounces back.

As for him catching it, that was impossible.

He wasn't given that time.

From judging that it was not a frontal shot to jumping to save, his palms could not reach the height to catch the ball.

That's why there was a second follow-up shot.

This was the moment when he could make the best choice.

Not every shot can be used in a comfortable way. As a top player, you have to consider the follow-up of the shot.

If there was no Keown chasing behind him, he would have chosen to smash the ball and find an angle before hitting, but Arsenal's defense did not leave him so much time.

Cantona looked at Dejan Lu and felt that it was outrageous.

Top players do not look at how you shoot when you are comfortable, but how you score when you are uncomfortable.

Teammate's inverted triangle allows you to score goals alone, and the current Ferguson can also score goals.

But it's different when someone interferes with the ball at high speed.

With just one ball, Dejan Lu proved why he is far better than Kanchelskis.

The Russian winger's breakthrough is also very sharp, but it is difficult to score if there is confrontation.

He was just watching from a distance, and Cantona clearly knew that Dejan Lu immediately adjusted after shooting, obviously knowing that the ball would bounce back.

Even the opponent's reaction was guessed.

What a terrible guy!

"Can we still win, Lothar?"

Platt asked.

"Why isn't it possible?"

Lothar Matthäus said a little unhappy, "This is just the equalization!"

"Okay, come on then."

Platt said with a smile.

Compared to Lothar Matthäus, he is not so competitive.

Italy changed four teams in the past few years. His only dream is to make more money and live in Italy after retirement.

"Be careful, don't give them a chance to fight back!"

Lothar Matthäus shouted loudly.

No matter how strong Dejan Lu is, the scoring efficiency in positional battles cannot be higher than on counterattacks.

He admitted that Dejan Lu was very scary when fighting back.

But just be careful.

Lothar Matthäus is even ready to use his tactics to deal with Diego Maradona.

"David, you move forward a little, I'm standing in the back position." Lothar Matthäus said.

He has to stand in the opposite position and stare at Dejan Lu.

Platt smiled and nodded.

Although he has little motivation, it does not prevent him from liking teammates who have fighting spirit.

In the final analysis, the most important thing about competitive sports is competition.

A slightly normal person would not like to lose.

Arsenal restarts.

In just a few kicks, they passed the ball to Lothar Matthäus.

Lothar Matthäus's long-distance passing ability is at the top level in the world.

He can send the ball to the frontcourt immediately.

McClair's symbolic pressing did not pose any threat to Lothar Matthäus at all.

Lothar Matthäus pushed his way through, standing behind the center circle and continuing to observe the situation on the field.

Butt didn't dare to leave his position. Redondo gave Keane a look and began to press forward.

He knew very well that he couldn't let Lothar Matthäus play so comfortably.

Lothar Matthäus was not in a hurry. Redondo grabbed the ball and immediately turned sideways and passed the ball to Petit.

Petit dribbles the ball forward on the right.

As a full-back, he has great impact.

Keane quickly went to the left to help defend, and Dejan Lu could not face his opponent by himself.

Petit thinks this is an opportunity, the middle lane is already empty.

He sent a long pass while running, and the ball went directly to the top of the penalty area.

Bergkamp, who was on his back, deftly stretched his foot to block, and passed the ball to the right before Parister stretched his foot. Ian·Wright started to easily catch the ball in the penalty area, but the last kick went too far and sent the ball directly over the crossbar, giving Schmeichel no chance to save.

The professor looked at the field and sighed.

The team's forward line has some problems.

Merson has technology, Wright has speed.

If these two people can be combined, it would be better to partner with Bergkamp.

The current situation is that Bergkamp creates opportunities for them in hand-to-hand combat, but these two wings are always close at critical moments, either one step slower or directly missed.

He now needs a forward who can not waste Bergkamp passes.

Or a forward who can give Bergkamp the ball.

This kind of ball didn't seem threatening because the final kick was outrageous. The goal was scored by a slightly more reliable striker.

It's a pity that Alan·Martin·Smith retired due to injury, otherwise he really liked that high center forward.

Smith has only received one card in his career, and his tactical literacy is very good.

Even when he was coaching Arsenal, the forward was already suffering from injuries, and there was nothing he could do about it.

But this opportunity, if it weren't for Wright's speed, he wouldn't have been able to get the ball.

Is there any forward in the world who is fast and efficient in scoring goals?

Schmeichel roared again.

Very dissatisfied with the opponent's easy entry into the penalty area.

In terms of goalkeeper, Manchester United is better than Arsenal, but Seaman is also very good.

The professor is quite satisfied with this position.

The guard is good defensively and even offensively.

But he just couldn't make full use of his tactics. The traditional British full-back was not the type he wanted.

Alas, there is a long way to go to transform the team.

It's not easy for Dejan Lu on the court either.

Lothar Matthäus This guy is like a chicken blood, and there is also Petit.

Arsenal now Lothar Matthäus adds one person to defend him every time, and the other person goes back to help defend.

Even Diego Maradona has experienced this kind of treatment.

But he was in no hurry.

Opportunities can always be found.

The main reason is that Butt on the right is too direct in attack and does not have that strong ability. If it were replaced by Beckham, today's game would be much easier.

That precise long pass can still reduce a lot of burden on Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu takes the ball and passes it back to Redondo.

Redondo gave Dejan Lu again, and Lothar Matthäus rushed forward again.

Snap——

Dejan Lu stepped sideways and passed the ball to the center circle.

Redondo picked the ball in front of Merson and turned to take it to the right. Platt pressed hard, but Redondo still protected the ball steadily and passed Wright before passing the ball back to Bruce.

This performance made fans and commentators exclaim.

Redondo It's like dancing in the backcourt.

There is only one midfielder like him in the entire Premier League.

Bruce passed Parister, and Parister took advantage of the situation to pass to Irwin.

Irwin had noticed the position of Dejan Lu and immediately sent a long pass.

Dejan Lu starts quickly.

As the passive party, Lothar Matthäus is still a step behind.

Being one position behind makes it impossible to catch up.

Even so, Lothar Matthäus is gritting his teeth and chasing after him.

As long as Dejan Lu cuts inside, he will slow down, and he will catch up when he slows down. He is forcing Dejan Lu to keep walking to the side.

Li·Dixon tried to hit Dejan Lu with his body, but failed to stop Dejan Lu. He decisively fell to the ground behind him and stretched his legs.

Dejan Lu tried to protect the ball, but was kicked immediately. He wanted to continue running, but his feet collapsed and he knelt on the turf.

Beep——

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and he was given a yellow card to Dixon.

It's a pity for many Manchester United players.

Cantona is ready for a kick.

The French forward glanced at today's referee. This guy was somewhat in the way.

"Are you okay, Dejan?"

Redondo came up and asked.

"It's okay."

Dejan Lu shook his head and said.

Arsenal's defense is still quite capable.

This position is too close to the side road and the angle is not large.

After Dejan Lu placed the ball, he looked at the goalkeeper's position and knew that Seaman was preventing him from attacking directly.

This deterrence is also unique.

He only scores a few direct goals from corner kicks, and every goalkeeper will guard them.

The position of this free kick is not as small as a corner kick, but there is a wall blocking it, so it is difficult to hit it close to the corner.

Beep——

After the run-up, Dejan Lu rubbed the ball away with the outside instep of his left foot. The ball went around the left side of the wall and went straight to the goal. The moment Cantona lifted the ball, Adams took off with him.

Both men have moves in the air.

Although Cantona hit the ball, due to the influence of the opponent, the ball hit the crossbar and hit the bottom line.

"Damn it, do you want to play football?"

As soon as he landed, Cantona turned around and pushed Adams and cursed.

"Asshole, do you want to find trouble?"

"Think we are afraid of you?"

"Damn, I should have taught you a lesson last time..." Players from both sides clashed in the penalty area.

The camera lens suddenly turned to the sidelines. Kidd was hugging Ferguson, and the coach Scotland was struggling continuously. The Manchester United substitute rushed over and grabbed the coach.

"Ferguson is very excited. It looks like he is ready to go on stage to help his disciples."

"Hahaha, but judging from his size, he may not be able to beat Wenger in a duel. He is also older than Wenger. If they are about the same age, Ferguson still has some opportunities. His career is more brilliant than Wenger, which means that his body may be better than the opponent."

The commentators analyzed it seriously.

The fans in front of the TV were looking forward to it.

It's not news that Manchester United and Arsenal are fighting each other.

It would be interesting if the coaches of the two teams fought.

"Relax Alex, Dejan has not been beaten."

Kidd shouted.

He knew exactly why the coach was so excited.

"I'm just going to go up and hold Dejan to stop him from joining in the fun."

Ferguson said angrily.

These bastards wrinkled his suit.

"It's not that easy to control what happens when you enter the field. The French guy will use this to attack you after the game." Kidd reminded.

Ferguson rolled his eyes fiercely and stared at the Arsenal coaching bench.

The professor was a little confused.

During this commotion, both Cantona and Petit received a yellow card.

Adams was smart and didn't fight back.

Otherwise, Arsenal's two defenders will be yellowed and the situation will be a bit worse.

"Damn it, you're dead!"

Cantona pointed at Petit and cursed.

"Idiot, do you want to retire?"

Petit replied in French.

As soon as McClair said this, he almost couldn't hold Cantona back.

The two Frenchmen, who were capable but were not favored by the national team, had an internal conflict on the court.

Dejan Lu has some doubts that Cantona will be called up by the national team again after today's game.

He is already loved by Platini.

Petit also provoked Platini.

Platini would definitely like to see this scene, and it would be easy to use his connections to help intercede.

Each of these football bosses is more petty than the last.

If Dejan the Football King becomes a coach after retiring, he will never abandon capable players because of some personal grudges.

The fierce fighting between players from both sides made the game more intense.

Neither team had any good chances.

In the 37th minute, Lothar Matthäus brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Merson. Merson's low shot on the penalty area line was blocked by Schmeichel with his feet. Bergkamp made a supplementary shot while his center of gravity was unstable and kicked the ball into Schmeichel's face. The ball popped out of the penalty area.

Gary·Neville quickly passed the ball to Keane.

Keane took advantage of the situation and gave the ball to Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu started running wildly after taking the ball on the right.

After crossing the center line, Dejan Lu was approaching the center. Seeing this, Cantona gave up his position and took the initiative to pull to the right to support.

Keown, who was lagging behind, kept half-turning to be on guard, and Bould's position was also closer to the penalty area.

Arsenal's defensive players were in decent position this time, which gave fans a sigh of relief.

Dejan Lu chose to slow down and move sideways with his right foot, just in time to block the chasing Lothar Matthäus behind him.

Toni·Adams is ready to look for opportunities.

Snap——

Dejan Lu pushed the ball and the ball passed the defender's wicket.

Seeing this, Bould chose to come over to defend.

Dejan Lu, who was being chased by three players behind him, moved towards his own half, but the outside instep of his right foot turned and squeezed between Bould and the sideline.

The steps are not big, but the cadence is fast.

Dejan Lu, who cut inside, rushed to the side line of the penalty area and immediately passed back an inverted triangle.

Redondo, who came up to respond, passed the ball to Keane on the right side of the top of the arc. Keane poked the ball forward somewhat casually, and was caught by David·Seaman.

Ferguson couldn't help but gritted his teeth and chewed gum faster.

He couldn't accept such a shot.

Even if you don't adjust well, you can still pass it on.

Your teammates took more than 60 meters to pass 6 or 7 people and disrupted the defense in front of the penalty area. You just shot like this?

Even in the midfield, you can pass the ball to Cantona instead of just kicking it yourself.

"Roy, if that doesn't work, pass the ball, pass the ball, what's in your head?"

Ferguson shouted to the court, "Don't waste the opportunity, the quality of such a shot is equivalent to helping them clear the siege!"

"We should have tried to sign Lothar Matthäus before."

Kidd said quietly from the side.

If the kick just now was replaced by Lothar Matthäus, it might have gone in.

Ferguson nodded subconsciously and immediately shook his head.

The players in the team already have their own personalities. If Lothar Matthäus is added to the team, I am afraid they will not become the second green shade Hollywood.

A few minutes later, Dejan Lu tried to break through with the ball again. Lothar Matthäus got into position in advance and escorted Dejan Lu to the bottom line. This guy's ability to stick to people is not ordinary.

The halftime whistle sounded.

Dejan Lu just walked to the sidelines.

It would be difficult to deal with Lothar Matthäus in the same way that ordinary players consume physical energy.

The physical fitness of the Germans is also exaggerated.

His position must be adjusted more.

The main reason was that the breakthrough along the way put too little pressure on Arsenal. Dejan Lu walked to the sidelines. Ferguson came over with a towel and a water bottle and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"Yes, let's replace him."

Dejan Lu said.

"Ah? If you don't want to play any more, then let's make a substitution."

Ferguson nodded and said.

"No, what I mean is to switch sides and put some pressure on them, coach."

Dejan Lu said.

Butt's central midfielder style of play puts too little pressure on the opponent.

"Ryan, warm up!"

Ferguson grabbed Giggs and said.

He had considered this before, but Kanchelskis transferred to Everton, and the team had no right wing to use.

Inverse wingers were not very popular at this time.

Those who can kill both sides are usually right-footed, while left-footed players have a more fixed position.

Lothar Matthäus took a deep breath after gargling continuously on the sidelines.

Oh shit.

Dejan Lu is so damn capable of running away.

In the past, he used to rely on explosive power to catch up in defense.

After all, the defender is passive and will definitely start a little slower.

But with Dejan Lu, there is no situation where he can catch up with explosive power. He must always keep an eye on Dejan Lu's body movements.

This highly concentrated game takes a greater toll on his spirit than physical exertion.

I usually only feel so mentally exhausted after playing for about 70 minutes.

That guy, damn...

Away locker room.

Highbury is already an old golf course.

The facilities in the away dressing room were even worse.

Manchester United players were in no mood to complain.

Keane said with some displeasure, "Those guys at Arsenal are so good at fouling, damn it."

"You're not much better."

Redondo joked.

"I definitely didn't commit as many fouls as the French guy." Keane complained.

Cantona's eyes widened.

Although I knew he was talking about Petit, I still felt offended.

"Today's opponent is not simple, you know it now." Ferguson said after closing the door, "The newspapers said that the French brought technology to Arsenal, but their roughness has not changed at all."

"The referee's scale is not very good."

Redondo said.

"Yes, Dejan will almost never fall, which is not good for us!"

Steve·Bruce nodded and said.

Ian·Wright can't fight against each other, Merson's body is damaged. Arsenal often fall down when the two wings are fighting. If the referee is strict, it will be detrimental to Manchester United.

"I can't dive."

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

"No one said you were wrong." Bruce said, "I'm just saying Arsenal likes to fall."

"In the second half, I will replace Ryan and play on the right to put more pressure on them. Lothar Matthäus has been following Dejan closely today. You must share some pressure with Dejan."

Ferguson emphasized.

"Got it, boss!"

Gary·Neville held a bottle of energy drink and said flatteringly, "Do you want to come to the right? Ryan probably doesn't play well on the right?"

"Do you want an assist?"

Irwin glanced at Neville and said.

Gary·Neville was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he nodded and said, "Dejan It's easy for you to assist on the left. If we play on the right together, I will soon become the world's number one right back."

"Damn it, when others want to assist, they just dribble into the opponent's penalty area and pass the ball. You want to pass the ball in your own half to mix up the assists!" Steve·Bruce said angrily.

Who doesn't know that Dejan Lu has an all-in-one ability to get the ball.

Gary·Neville With such an interruption, the atmosphere in the locker room was not so depressing.

Today's Arsenal, who can kick and tackle, is still a bit unfamiliar to Manchester United.

The newspapers praised Arsenal for their good skills, which made them think that Arsenal had changed their style of play.

After the fifteen-minute break, players from both sides returned to the court again.

"Manchester United chose to make substitutions at the beginning of the second half. Giggs replaced Nicky·Butt. Ferguson was preparing to strengthen the attack on the wing."

"Yes, but Manchester United played very patiently. Today's two teams were not in a hurry in terms of organization. Every time they attacked, they would pass the attack layer by layer."

"Haha, Dejan himself replaced the passing process. He ran the ball for dozens of meters and passed it to his teammates, allowing Manchester United to easily organize in front of the opponent's penalty area."

"Merson made a pass from the right, Bergkamp jumped up and stopped the ball and divided the ball into the penalty area. Petit's long shot went over the crossbar. This Dutchman became different in the hands of Wenger!"

Dejan Lu, who returned to half court, looked into the penalty area.

Although Bergkamp is not the professor's signing, there is no doubt that he is a player that the professor likes.

He saved the Dutchman's career.

Before the professor came to Arsenal, Bergkamp was still struggling to improve his confrontation ability.

It won't be long before Bergkamp will become a representative. That's why there's that sentence - watching artistic football? Either go to Bernabéu to see Zinedine Zidane, or go to Highbury to see Bergkamp.

Even today's formation Dejan Lu feels like it has the prototype of later.

Merson retracement is still 442 on the wing, Ian·Wright is a speed character similar to Anelka and Henry.

This team isn't even complete yet.

Of course the biggest problem is the German.

Lothar Matthäus's strength is so strong that it greatly enhances the formation of the professor's lineup.

Vieira or Keane are not comparable at all to Lothar Matthäus.

When the ball was passed, Dejan Lu immediately turned sideways and kicked it to the right.

Giggs was not very comfortable when he stopped the ball, but he immediately took the ball and launched an impact on Arsenal's half.

His speed is so fast that Petit doesn't even have time to go over and defend.

Unfortunately, he was not skilled in cutting inside and was intercepted by Toni·Adams.

Adams kicked the ball towards the Manchester United half.

Lothar Matthäus had an obvious height disadvantage, and Redondo overpowered him and headed the ball to the left.

Platt came up very quickly, Dejan Lu turned around and gave the ball to Keane who came to respond.

Keane was still observing while holding the ball, but Lothar Matthäus rushed towards him again.

Ireland man quickly passed the ball to Irwin.

Irwin stopped the ball and then made a big kick.

He had long noticed that Dejan Lu was thrusting forward.

So this kick gives a lot of power.

Dejan Lu started up very quickly. Dixon tried to pull Dejan Lu's jersey but failed, so he could only grit his teeth and chase after him.

abnormal!

Dixon only has this feeling.

He even suspected that Dejan Lu would have fallen further if he hadn't waited for the ball.

Snap——

After the ball bounced off the ground, Dejan Lu, who was running sideways, accelerated.

This is where the ball will land.

The ball bounced directly into the penalty area.

McClair and Cantona in the middle are also accelerating, preparing to support from two positions. This puts a lot of pressure on Arsenal's defense, making it impossible for them to help defend.

Click——

After the ball bounced to the ground again, Dejan Lu hit it with his chest, slowed down and followed the ball into the penalty area. He immediately used his left foot to fly into the air, and bent his right foot to hit the ball.

His legs are too long and cannot fully stretch in this position.

But this kind of action is more conducive to controlling the intensity.

Snap——

The sound was not loud, but in the eyes of David·Seaman, it was worse than a powerful shot. Seaman, who was standing close, didn't even have time to jump up and reach out sideways, knowing that the ball was out of reach, and could only watch the ball fall into the right side of the goal.

Boom——

"Dejan!!!"

The away fans' stands were filled with excitement.

Only Manchester United fans in their early 2000s suppressed the voices of more than 30,000 gunmen.

Not long after the second half started, Dejan Lu immediately scored another goal to help Manchester United take the lead.

What technology flow arsenal?

They were also worried that Arsenal would challenge Manchester United's status.

But their Number Seven proved with practical actions that any gorgeous football is inferior to the strongest personal heroism.

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan Goal!"

"What a goal!"

"With a simple anti-offside move, Dejan successfully took the ball and shot past Arsenal's goal. Just when we thought Lothar Matthäus put too much pressure on Dejan, Dejan immediately proved with his strength that the only one in the world that can defend him is our own goal!"

"The speed that Lee Dixon relies on for survival is nothing to mention in front of Dejan. Several of Arsenal's famous defenders are like toys in front of Dejan. If any defender can maintain a 40% success rate in one-on-one with Dejan, then he is worth 30 million Pound Sterling!!!"

Premier League's transfer record is still Bergkamp's 7.5 million Pound Sterling.

30 million Pound Sterling is roughly four Bergkamp.

If you count forward a little further, almost 8 Alan Shearer can even buy a team that is not a wealthy team.

Although this amount of money is very exaggerated, the fans in front of the TV don't think there is any problem.

Defenders are inherently disadvantaged against offensive players.

The key is that the opponent is Dejan Lu.

Since Dejan Lu played, none of the top defenders have been able to do it, whether it is Bergomi or Baresi.

It's hard to imagine what level a defender is better than that level of defender.

Lothar Matthäus stood there with his hands on his hips.

Reluctance was written on his face.

This Football IQ excellent midfielder knows very well that Giggs's appearance has brought changes to Manchester United.

This proves that it was not that he restricted Dejan Lu in the first half, but that Manchester United only played all the way so that he could defend easily.

This kind of knowledge makes the proud Lothar Matthäus unable to accept it.

Fortunately, he quickly cheered up.

It's not him who's wrong, it's the world.

If the teammates were replaced by Brehme, Bergomi, and Bergkamp and Klinsmann double ghosted the goal, Arsenal might still be ahead.

In the final analysis, these teammates are too good, hey.

After kicking off, Lothar Matthäus immediately acted recklessly. His impact was really strong.

Despite Redondo and Keane, the ball was still passed to Bergkamp. Bergkamp started a little slowly and was stuck by Steve·Bruce. The ball was obtained by Schmeichel.

This scene strengthened the professor's determination to introduce a new striker.

Whether you let Bergkamp play the ball or let him shoot, you have to choose one.

It's really not easy to balance both.

A few minutes later, Manchester United launched an attack on the left. Lothar Matthäus and Platt rushed towards Dejan Lu at the same time. Dejan Lu once again chose to move widely.

However, Giggs failed to stop the ball and was intercepted by Petit.

Petit rushed forward quickly with the ball, Keane went up and pressed Petit on the sideline.

Gary·Neville was a little slow when tackling the ball. Seeing this, Petit turned sideways and took the initiative to send the outer instep to the sole of Neville's shoe, causing a foul.

"Arsenal won a free kick from the wing, which was in the same position as Manchester United's free kick in the first half."

"Bergkamp and Lothar Matthäus are both standing in the kicking position, and the two are discussing how to take the free kick. Lothar Matthäus seems to have changed a lot after leaving Bayern. It seems that he gets along very well with his teammates."

"Lothar Matthäus kicked off directly after the run-up. Parister blocked the attack with his body. The Manchester United defender fell to the ground, but there seemed to be no problem. Arsenal's desire to continue attacking aroused the dissatisfaction of the Manchester United players. It is estimated that Arsenal did this because they suffered a loss in the last game with Blackburn."

"Yes, last time they kicked the ball out Sutton immediately sent a throw-in, so the style in football was destroyed by these players who have no style."

Bruce bent down and touched the ball, but the referee gave a free kick in the backcourt, which made the Arsenal players very dissatisfied.

But the referee still insisted on his penalty.

Parister had no problem. He kicked the ball out of the backcourt. Bruce wanted to give it to Redondo, but found Lothar Matthäus standing there. He simply passed the ball to the left with one foot on the ground.

Platt wants to go up and steal.

But Dejan Lu never waits for the ball on the spot, and this pass of more than 40 meters still found Dejan Lu.

Click——

Dejan Lu turned his back and knocked the ball behind him with his heel.

The two men turned around almost at the same time.

Platt is even further back.

He turned around and pushed it smoothly, preventing Dejan Lu from starting.

Dejan Lu twisted his feet and made a big circle.

But even though Platt did so much, he still couldn't get faster than Dejan Lu.

Knowing that he can't get the ball first.

The midfielder simply fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle, trying to shovel the ball out of the sideline.

Snap——

But Dejan Lu reacted quickly and knocked the ball forward, narrowly missing Platt's feet.

Seeing Dejan Lu knock the ball far away, Petit thought he would have a chance.

But he didn't expect him to run to the wing. Dejan Lu immediately jumped out more than 5 meters and appeared behind the ball the next second.

Dixon didn't even run forward, choosing a position on the wing of the penalty area early.

Wait for Dejan Lu to take the ball and look for opportunities sideways.

He was a little excited to see Dejan Lu dribbling the ball in small steps. Petit would come over immediately to cover.

Just don't let Dejan Lu start.

Following Dejan Lu's move to the baseline, Dixon naturally continued to take a step forward to block Dejan Lu.

But he didn't expect that Dejan Lu suddenly knocked the instep of his left foot, knocking the ball behind him.

Snap——

Before Petit could come up, Dejan Lu forcibly cut in between the two people.

Dixon quickly turned around, while Petit almost stepped on Dejan Lu, unable to adjust his center of gravity.

Keown saw this and came over. Bould was waiting in front of the small penalty area.

Dejan Lu just turned in and kicked.

Bang - the ball arced in front of Keown, bypassed the left side of Bould and went straight to the far corner of the goal. Seaman failed to save and once again became the backdrop.

Lothar Matthäus, who chased back to the penalty area, cursed hard in his heart.

Yes, the team's goalkeeper is not good either, he should be replaced...
