To draw out the opponent's technical ability, you don't necessarily have to play according to the opponent's habits.

Otherwise, drawing [Denilson] wouldn't be a cheat.

Usually any card in the hands of Dejan the Football King will be better than mine. This is determined by game reading ability and offensive and defensive thinking.

But today Dejan Lu decided that he would make a one-to-one replica of Kevin·Keegan.

You and Ferguson are having a war of words. As Ferguson's first favorite, you can help the head coach find a place, right?

Don't ask, asking is a tribute.

Use Keegan's young playing style to defeat the team coached by Keegan. I believe Kevin·Keegan himself will be very happy.

At least Keegan didn't lose, right?

"I'll play forward today, Brian."

Dejan Lu said directly.

McClair nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a rest and talk to the boss when he comes back from the press conference."

Andy Cole looked at McClair in surprise.

Ferguson now gives Cantona the most time, and he and McClair rotate with each other.

One less game means one less opportunity to play.

Feeling the eyes of his teammates, McClair sneered in his heart.

Andy Cole may be good at football, but he knows nothing.

Today he gave way to Dejan Lu. Next time they play together, Dejan Lu will have to assist him at least twice, right?

Favors come and go, and only when there are contacts are there relationships.

Even if he starts today, it would be good if he can score one goal.

Next time we play together and score a few more, what difference does it make?

Maybe the two games put together are not as much as the number of goals scored in one appearance with Dejan Lu.

In today's game, Manchester United fans played TIFO early.

Keegan's provocation and Newcastle's 4-point lead over Manchester United are both reasons for Manchester United fans to take it seriously.

Although Keegan is famous as Liverpool, this is one of the reasons.

Originally, Keegan's figure did not conform to the aesthetics of England football at that time. It was Bill Shankly who gave him the opportunity and transformed him into a forward.

Keegan's kicking characteristics are more agile, and his body shape determines that his kicking is more like a weakened Diego Maradona rather than Crouch or Shearer.

These celebrities are not long-lived.

Dejan Lu Occasionally, you can see highlights of their football games on TV.

At that time, he felt that Keegan was very smart when he played football.

In addition to his passing and shooting ability, he also makes good use of his size advantage.

He is shorter and quick to start. Many of his goals were scored 55 times before he touched the ball.

He often goes against his opponents in front of the goal and sends the ball into the goal.

This ability to grab points is also quite good.

His strength is very strong, and Fleet Street calls him a person who can be called the same as Beckham.

But it's somewhat hydrated.

Especially his first Ballon d'Or.

In the World Cup year of 1978, Granger World Cup scored 4 goals, 42 goals in 41 games with the club, and 29 goals in 30 games after the transfer to Barca. This was the player with the best statistics at that time.

But at that time, the selection focused more on reputation.

So Keegan won Granger with better data and Cruyff with more honors.

On the contrary, his second Ballon d'Or is not controversial, and the score directly beats Rummenigge.

There are more early selections and honors, such as Uruguay's first World Cup and Italy's World Cup under the gun. This is all due to historical reasons.

But in terms of strength, he is indeed very strong.

The most important thing is that Keegan is a player who can use his brain to play football.

Dejan Lu has already thought about how to play today.

The fans were cheering during warm-ups.

There are endless trophies posted on TIFU and foam boards in the stands.

This is all a demonstration against the visiting team.

Invisibly, it added some gunpowder to this game.

"Dejan appeared in the starting lineup again today. Previously, the Manchester United first team was affected by the stomach flu, and many players missed the previous one or two league games."

"Yes, I heard that it was caused by eating sashimi or sushi during Toyota Cup. Japanese food in London has been greatly affected recently."

"Keegan declared before the game that he hoped to win against Manchester United, which undoubtedly added a lot of excitement to the game. Ferguson will definitely put some pressure on his disciples. Well, the players from both sides have returned to the tunnel, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

Manchester United 442 double midfielders:

Goalkeeper: Schmeichel,

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

Midfielder: Giggs, Redondo, Keane, Beckham,

Forwards: Dejan Lu, Cantona.

Newcastle 442 Double central midfielder:

Goalkeeper: Pavel Srníček,

Defenders: Johan·Beresford, Steve·Howe, Darren Peyeaock, Warren Brown,

Midfielder: David·Ginoula, Rob Lee, Lee·Clark, Keith·Gillespie,

Forwards: Rice·Ferdinand, Peter·Beardsley.

"This game is a continuation of North-West Derby. Peter·Beardsley once broke the transfer record. At that time, it was the transfer of Liverpool. Coupled with the Liverpool pedigree of Kevin·Keegan, this can also explain why Newcastle competes so fiercely with Manchester United."

"It's mainly because of the championship. Srníček is currently the goalkeeper who has conceded the fewest goals to Premier League. He may bring some surprises to Newcastle today. No team can compare with Manchester United in terms of offensive capabilities, so let's compare with Manchester United in conceding fewer goals."

"This is indeed a good idea. There was no communication between the coaches of the two teams after they came on the field. Ferguson and Keegan obviously didn't even want to do face-saving work."

Newcastle's strength is still very good.

The captain went up to guess the coins, and Dejan Lu saw many acquaintances.

David·Ginoula Needless to say, this is Newcastle's core player. It seems that since him, Newcastle has been very fond of introducing French players.

The double-Li combination is England, a regular international player.

Beresford is even more famous as a flying wing, and has been wreaking havoc with Ginoula for several years.

The striker is the most important.

Peter·Beardsley was once the captain of England, a player imported by Liverpool at a sky-high price, but it was only after returning to Newcastle for the second time that he reached the peak of his career.

His playing style is also biased toward Number 9.5.

During the transition from English First Division to Premier League, his height of 173 centimeters was very embarrassing on the front line. If he wanted to survive, he had to find his own position.

What makes Dejan Lu more interesting is Ferdinand.

He is related to Leo Ferdinand of Manchester United. The early Internet said that there was any relationship between them, without even considering the age gap between the two.

In fact, Rice Ferdinand is Leo and Anton's uncle.

The scoring efficiency of 0.78 goals per game is not bad even after that.

It's not surprising that such a lineup is championship competitive.

The cards are already very strong, and the players are playing well.

If it weren't for one or two positions, it wouldn't be surprising if Keegan called for a multi-line championship.

With the team in good shape, it's no wonder Keegan is arrogant.

The best result for those who engage in a war of words with Ferguson is not to lose.

Obviously Keegan does not have as good a pressure resistance as Professor and Mourinho.

Ferguson is quite good at making trouble for others.

Looking at the sidelines, Dejan Lu could feel that Keegan was under a lot of pressure.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Ferdinand was passed to Beardsley, and Beardsley was immediately given to Clark.

Clark and his partner Rob Lee are both traditional British central midfielders, not full-time defensive midfielders. They are not top-notch on both offense and defense, but they can do most things.

They pass the ball more to the wings.

Clark takes the ball and gives it to Gillespie.

This genius from Manchester United was exchanged for 7 million Pound Sterling for Andy Cole. Of course he has his advantages. After Kanchelskis transferred in the summer, Ferguson wanted to buy him back but Newcastle refused.

Gillespie, who wanted to return to Carrington, wanted to express himself very much, so he immediately dribbled the ball and found Dejan Lu.

Hope to prove his ability in front of big stars.

Dejan Lu rolled his eyes and rushed forward to stretch his feet.

There are really people who can not go to the wing and deliberately bring the ball to find the forward.

Gillespie accelerated and knocked the ball behind Dejan Lu, and the pass was half successful.

But Giggs knows this former teammate very well, and Giggs is faster than Gillespie.

He got the ball first and passed it directly to Dejan Lu.

Keegan lost the ball right at the start, and Keegan couldn't help but curse on the sidelines.

The moment Dejan Lu caught the ball, he waved to the right, and Beckham rushed forward. Ginoula and Rob Lee rushed to Beckham almost at the same time to prevent him from catching the ball.

But Dejan Lu waved and took the ball and rushed towards Newcastle's half, without any intention of passing the ball.

Lee·Clark was not even distracted and had no time to go to the wing to cover up the defense. Dejan Lu had just passed half-time, and only Newcastle's defense line was left in front of him.

"Dejan!"

"Dejan!"

"Dejan!"

Theatre of Dreams bursts of cheers sounded.

They like Dejan Lu's method of teasing their opponents so much.

Every time I see an opponent player being fooled, I always feel a sense of intellectual superiority.

Warren Brown cursed secretly and rushed towards Dejan Lu.

This full-back with good speed has always suppressed his speed.

Because he noticed that Dejan Lu likes to make sudden stops to get rid of his opponents.

Running too fast at this time is not a good thing.

Brown cautiously approached the wing. Dejan Lu knocked the ball forward and immediately rushed forward to pass the ball. However, he continued to push the ball forward with the outside instep of his left foot.

Brown, who had been on guard for a long time, was still fooled out of his center of gravity.

Dejan Lu glanced at the penalty area, still chose to go to the bottom, and sent a low pass in front of the baseline.

Cantona rushed to the goal with understanding, but unfortunately the ball was blocked by Srníček and blocked the baseline.

The Czech Republic goalkeeper responded very quickly.

He has been the main goalkeeper since he transferred to Newcastle.

Beckham saw Dejan Lu on the left and had no intention of taking a corner kick.

"David, David, come here."

At this time Dejan Lu waved and shouted.

Beckham quickly ran towards the corner flag area and asked, "What's wrong Dejan?"

"Let's take a tactical corner kick..."

Dejan Lu covered his mouth and whispered.

Beckham nodded.

Such an unusual move cheered up the entire Newcastle team.

Especially Gillespie.

He always believed that Beckham stole his position.

You know, he dreams of returning to Manchester United.

Even the transfer contract was negotiated between Ferguson and Newcastle.

At that time, his weekly salary at Manchester United was 230 pounds, but Ferguson said that he was earning 600 pounds per week at Manchester United. After the transfer, he was no longer a young player, and asked for his salary to be doubled to 1,200 pounds. Newcastle agreed.

He was very grateful to Ferguson for this matter.

The salary was more than he expected.

To this day, he still often calls Ferguson to talk about some of his troubles in Newcastle.

"Be careful, that Beckham's long pass is very good!" Gillespie shouted.

Newcastle players also focused on the penalty area.

Peyeaock and Cantona had a fierce push at the front point.

The referee couldn't stand it anymore and scolded two people before signaling for a corner kick.

Theatre of Dreams More than 70,000 people were staring at the corner flag area, wondering why Dejan Lu called Beckham to discuss how to play the corner kick.

Warren Brown stood on the edge, fearing that these two people had some conspiracy.

Beckham still stepped back to leave room for a run-up. After stepping forward, he passed the ball to the nearby Dejan Lu and ran back.

Brown was startled and quickly moved closer to Dejan Lu.

Beckham still wanted to stay nearby to respond, but Dejan Lu moved his right foot directly to find Brown laterally. There was no fancy move, and he moved his right foot directly to dribble the ball diagonally.

Li·Clark was afraid that Dejan Lu would cut inside, so he rushed out of the penalty area.

But before Clark could reach him, Dejan Lu turned sideways and raised his right foot.

!!!

Keegan's eyes widened.

This position, this tactic, this shooting posture... fuck, he's all familiar with it.

Even the shot was parallel to the baseline, exactly the same as one of his iconic goals.

This made Keegan feel mixed emotions.

I can't tell what it feels like.

Bang——

The ball had almost no arc and flew straight from the left wing of the penalty area to the far corner of the goal. Srníček, who was standing on the right, obviously misjudged the height. When he took off, the ball was still on the crossbar, and he couldn't reach it even if he stretched his arms hard.

However, this also made the Czech Republic goalkeeper breathe a sigh of relief. There was a high chance that the ball would go out of bounds.

But after only 0.0 seconds, he discovered something was wrong. Damn, he took off from the highest point and the ball was falling rapidly. The ball almost passed by his fingertips and fell into the right side of the goal.

Boom——

"Dejan!"

Dejan Lu, who scored the goal, opened his arms.

Theatre of Dreams burst into the loudest cheers today.

Beckham quickly came to Dejan Lu and hugged Dejan Lu's neck.

The young and handsome face has entered the dreams of many girls.

But when the two people stood together, Manchester United fans really felt how exaggerated Dejan Lu's appearance was.

Even next to such a young man, he is still slightly better.

The lips are red and the teeth are white. There is no aggressive look on the face, but the eyes are full of light.

The hair, which has not been designed much, still looks very energetic.

On the contrary, the new idols David·Beckham are made to look like children.

Ferguson turned to the sidelines and wildly raised his arms, wanting to directly stick them on Keegan's face in celebration.

Kevin·Keegan has a dark face.

Oh shit.

One to one reproduction!

This goal was exactly the same as his original goal.

Needless to say, it must be the Scotland villain who asked the players to play like this.

Deliberately give him some color to see.

But Dejan Lu was able to do it, which still surprised Keegan.

After all, Dejan Lu is 15 centimeters taller than him, and can even imitate 80% of his style when playing football. Considering the center of gravity, this is not easy.

Talented!

Keegan can't think of any other words to describe Dejan Lu.

Too strong, really too strong.

It wouldn't be an insult if the best player in the world imitated the way he played, right?

It's a pity that such a good player is on a barbarian team.

Ferguson looks down on Keegan.

Keegan also looks down on Ferguson.

Ferguson's career, which he often talks about, is nothing in front of the two-time Footballer of the Year.

The comparison between the two people is like Zhekeresh and Lewandowski dovsky. There is no comparison at all between the ace of a small team and the core of a giant.

Seeing Ferguson's actions, Keegan's mouth curved in disdain.

Only if your career has not been brilliant will you think of relying on players to vent your anger.

After taking a few breaths, Keegan suppressed his temper and shouted to the court in a calm voice, "Strengthen the defense in the middle, we will play on the wing, David, you guys step up the offense."

Ginoula immediately made an OK gesture to the sidelines.

He is the core of Newcastle.

Compared with the young Gillespie, he is better in terms of experience and technology.

Gillespie has been staring at Beckham's back.

They had a good relationship when they were in the youth team.

It's a pity that people always have to grow up. Every time he sees Beckham and Dejan Lu appear together in the newspaper, the young winger can't help but feel jealous.

Even though he knew it was wrong, he couldn't control his emotions.

Especially after Beckham was red in the Champions Cup finals last season, his mentality completely exploded.

He definitely wouldn't have received a red card if he were on the court.

Originally, he and Dejan were supposed to fly together!

Damn it, good people should endure suffering?

Manchester United bought Andy Cole, and it's not his fault that Newcastle took a liking to him.

Gillespie decided to put more pressure on himself. It would be difficult to return to Carrington just by relying on performance.

But what if Beckham falls?

He remembered that Beckham had always been a bit of a playboy, so he asked a private detective to keep an eye on him. After finding the evidence, Ferguson would definitely be angry, and he would have a chance to return to Theatre of Dreams.

Thinking of this, Gillespie cheered up again and raised his hands to remind his teammates to come on.

This performance makes Keegan very satisfied.

Although it was because he lost the ball just now, it is not a bad thing for young people to make mistakes.

As long as you can grow.

Ferdinand and Beardsley returned to the center circle again.

Ferdinand joked, "We didn't even touch the ball, and Manchester United scored. This is not a good sign."

"There are so many explanations."

Beardsley said with a smile, "You will score one and I will score another later, and we will overtake the lead."

Rice·Ferdinand:...

If it were another team, he would have accepted it.

But the opponent is Manchester United. A good partner doesn't take Manchester United too seriously.

But this mentality is good.

Ferdinand kicked the ball horizontally, and Beardsley immediately gave it back to him.

Cantona wants to take the opportunity to steal directly.

Ferdinand really didn't expect Cantona to grab it so suddenly.

But as a black player, his flexibility is very good. He stepped on the ball and pushed, spreading his legs to avoid Cantona's feet.

Immediately afterwards, he used his ankle to throw the ball to his teammates.

Rob Lee caught the ball and gave it to Ginoula.

Ginoula's skills have always been among the top in Europe, but he was not very reliable in key matches. Cantona was hurt by him before. Even French fans nicknamed him Bulgaria international.

But his dribbling and appearance are still impressive.

Beckham was obviously no match for the veteran. Ginoula successfully dribbled past him with a change of pace.

Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, thought of Figo, who moved to Barcelona in the summer.

Moreover, this Newcastle winger also has a passing skill that is not inferior to Beckham.

Ferguson even thought about introducing him in the summer, but Newcastle couldn't sell him.

Gary·Neville is in the front position and presses forward directly.

Ginoula, who was walking in the middle, encountered Keane, and he immediately picked the ball over Keane.

The Magpies fans in the stands were excited.

Here comes their core signature shot.

Unfortunately, Keane turned around very quickly and did not give him a chance to volley after picking the ball up. He directly headed the ball to Parister with his chest.

Parister tried to find Redondo, but found someone beside Redondo, so he simply passed the ball to the right with his big foot.

"Beautiful cross, Redondo and Beckham's long pass made us forget that Gary·Pari is also a crosser himself, Parister's cross found Beckham, and Beckham was undefended..."

"Beckham dribbled the ball past the center line. How will he handle this counterattack opportunity? David·Beckham also chose a long pass. The arc of this kick is very exaggerated!"

Beckham sent a cross before Beresford grabbed it.

It's his iconic full-moon scimitar.

The ball arced and fell into the center circle. Cantona turned his back and tried to dive to return the ball but failed to hit it, but it affected the Newcastle defender's judgment.

Click——

Dejan Lu, who advanced to the left side of the penalty area, just pressed the instep of his feet and picked up the ball, causing the ball to jump as he expected.

Then he turned around and swung his right foot directly behind the ball.

Bang——

This kick has no arc, but it is full of power.

Srníček raised his hands and touched the ball, but failed to stop it. The ball rolled past his palm and went into the goal.

Magpies fans in the away fans' stands couldn't help but cover their eyes.

They would rather their goalkeeper not touch the ball.

"Goal!"

"Goal! Goal! Goal!"

"Dejan Goal! Only 4 minutes into the game, Manchester United took a two-goal lead. The outcome of today's championship battle has almost been determined. Dejan has never been tied with a two-goal lead, let alone lost to its opponent."

"Yes, Manchester United's counterattack this time was really beautiful. A long pass from the back position to the right. Beckham on the right dribbled the ball for more than ten meters and then sent another long pass to assist Dejan. Manchester United created this goal with just two passes."

"Srníček was stunned on the spot. The Czech Republic goalkeeper obviously couldn't accept the fact that he lost the ball again. But he should have clearly felt that the shot Dejan had a strong spin when it was kicked. This was the main reason why he let go."

"Yes, we saw in the replay that Dejan's movement of pulling his right foot upward when shooting was very obvious, similar to when we play table tennis and rub the edge of the ball to increase the rotation. In this way, kicking an upward rotating ball will cause a lot of trouble for the goalkeeper in the half-high ball save. Dejan has obviously guessed that the opponent who shoots from the front has a chance to hit it, and adds an insurance to his shot."

"It's really scary to be calm. Some people will complain that God favors Dejan and gives him unparalleled talent, but Dejan's choices on the field come from himself. Manchester United's number 7 will always make the best choice in front of the goal!"

Manchester United players ran to the frontcourt one after another, surrounding Dejan Lu who scored the goal.

Keane shouted excitedly, "It's too fast. I thought about having a fight, but I didn't expect that the victory has been secured now."

"That's right, it's really easy for this guy Dejan to score goals."

"That's Dejan's good movement. Didn't you see that he was wandering around the penalty area for a long time just now?" Redondo said.

"Be careful. A two-goal lead does not guarantee victory. Don't forget that we overturned a three-goal lead before, AC Milan."

Dejan Lu reminded.

"We are not AC Milan."

Gary·Neville complained.

"Don't say it so early Gary, otherwise you will regret it."

Dejan Lu said.

"I'm the god of gambling, Dejan!"

Gary·Neville said with a smile, "If it weren't for my talent in playing football, I would have made a lot of money from spinach. Have you not seen that there are people in Africa who have made a lot of money?"

"Anyone who makes money by luck will lose it sooner or later."

Redondo complained.

"The seagulls chase the fishing boats because they know the sardines will be left behind. The gambling companies keep their doors open because they know you will lose money." Cantona said suddenly.

Dejan Lu gave a thumbs up.

As expected of a philosopher, what he says is philosophical.

The Manchester United players returned to half-time talking and laughing.

The fans are very satisfied with the team's atmosphere.

The harmony of the team is more important than anything else.

They are especially pleased with the growth of young people. In just one season, many young people have established themselves as the main force.

Not surprisingly, they are the cornerstone of the team for the next ten years.

Newcastle players obviously did not expect to lose the ball one after another.

Still a little confused now.

Especially the second ball, it was passed to their penalty area with two consecutive kicks, and Dejan Lu took a second step.

The referee urged them several times before they slowly returned to the center circle.

I have forgotten all the rhetoric I made before the show started.

They didn't even know how to kick after kickoff.

Continuous quick return passes proved the mental state of the Newcastle players, just as they showed.

The title-challenging team was beaten by Manchester United within four minutes.

"Hold still, hold still for me!"

Keegan roared at the field.

As a player, he obviously knows the team's status well.

The ball went all the way to the defense and then passed back into the goal.

Johan·Beresford takes the ball and wants to organize a wave of attacks. Together with Ginoula, he is Newcastle's sharpest weapon.

But after just a few steps, Beckham rushed forward.

Having been teased by Ginoula before, Beckham was holding his breath. When they met, he just made a sliding tackle after running up.

Beresford didn't expect that Manchester United's stupid young man would be so determined, and it was too late to pass the ball again.

Beckham just slid and tackled the ball in front of him.

Beresford tried to pull Beckham to counterattack. When he got up, Beckham was a little embarrassed and had to put his hands on the ground to stabilize himself. However, he firmly controlled the ball under his body and blocked the opponent's feet with his own legs.

"Pass the ball, David!"

Beckham didn't even stand firm, he just passed the ball with one hand on the ground.

This is just a hornet's nest.

Dejan Lu caught the ball not far from the top of the arc, and Li Clark was chasing after him like crazy.

Several defenders were moving near the center, fearing that Dejan Lu would break Newcastle's goal again.

Theatre of Dreams also lost his voice, and more than 100,000 pairs of eyes in the audience were staring at the edge of Newcastle's penalty area.

Dejan Lu The rhythm changes at his feet and he advances steadily with the ball.

Although Newcastle had a whole line of defense, they kept retreating, and no one even dared to attack.

Brown on the flank couldn't help it and rushed towards Dejan Lu.

But just after reaching the penalty area line, Dejan Lu took advantage of the situation and rubbed his left foot.

Bang——

The rubbing and shooting of the calf is very sudden, but simple and effective.

The height of the ball was not high, about the same as a small spoon, but Srníček couldn't react. He was standing not far from the goal line, so he couldn't save the ball. He could only raise his hand and watch the ball fly from his head into the goal.

hat trick!!!

Boom——Theatre of Dreams burst into loud cheers.

Manchester City fans can only choose to listen to music or increase the TV volume at this time to drown out the noise of their neighbors.

Every Manchester United match day is a torture for the teams in the same city.

Manchester United's Number Seven is simply a sure-win ace.

Like, so similar!

Keegan stared at the court, and even the way Dejan Lu exerted force was similar to when he was playing football.

Regardless of height, it can even be said to be exactly the same.

The 44-year-old Keegan stood there, looking over with affectionate eyes, seeing his 22-year-old shadow...
