With the existence of Dejan the Football King, naturally there is no Del Piero Zone.
Even "Tuttosport" is embarrassed to say such nonsense.
If you perform well and score one goal in a game, you can draw territory on the left. Then Dejan the Football King can score a hat trick when he performs poorly. What is the left?
The wrong location limits the growth of Piero.
As long as he switches to the right wing, he can also play some kind of Tianzun with Figo and the others.
But on the left side, you have to be a dragon coiled up or a tiger lying down.
The King Wales can only serve as a substitute for Dejan the Football King while repairing the car.
If you want to make a name for yourself on the left, it is more reliable to play as a full-back.
The game hasn't started yet, but Italy's commentator has not forgotten Dejan Lu's terrifying notice during the Sampdoria period. Navy Blue is about to become the strongest club in Europe.
Every season, Northern Three Powers is stably double-killed, or even four-killed and six-killed, depending on who is unlucky enough to encounter Sampdoria in the cup.
Dejan Lu waved his hand at Verchowod from a distance while playing the ball.
The old guy said at the time that he wouldn't be able to play for a few more years, and now he's going to Juventus to be the main player.
I remember correctly that he later went to Milan.
Italy Just listen to what the defender said about retiring. It's not a problem to change to three or four clubs after the age of 30. Each one can survive better than the other.
Verchowod is not in such a good mood.
It is not that simple to face Dejan Lu.
There are so many variations in cadence, pace and rhythm that there are countless permutations and combinations.
The situation when you defend Robben and Duff is different. Dejan Lu's span can range from quick steps and large steps to small steps. Only the defender knows how uncomfortable it is.
The only thing that comforted him was that Lippi, at his suggestion, used a back four again.
When playing Dejan Lu, playing with three defenders is no different from serving food.
"Get ready and go back to the passage."
UEFA official greeted, and the players from both sides walked to the player tunnel again.
Basically everyone at Juventus is an old acquaintance.
There are some changes in the lineup, and they are all about tapping potential within Serie A.
Dejan Lu nodded and said hello to his former teammates, and followed his teammates out of the tunnel.
Champions League Anthem was started after the restructuring. This song is indeed very important.
More than one top star has said that this song can give people motivation. Zinedine Zidane also said that when you hear this song, you will feel that the game is completely different.
After the Champions League was restructured, it immediately surpassed Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup, completely establishing its status as the most important trophy.
After shaking hands, the players from both sides stood on both sides of the referee team with serious expressions.
Obviously he was also infected by the atmosphere of the scene.
Being able to play in the Champions League will also become one of the important weights for player transfers.
"This season's Champions League semi-finals are about to begin. Today Manchester United's opponent is Juventus. This game is not as simple as we thought. The team recently rumored to be using drugs is very likely to be this Italy giant."
"Yes, Italy and Germany don't abide by the rules very much, so today's game is not a fair match. Fortunately, Manchester United still has Dejan."
"Let's take a look at both sides' starting lineups first."
Manchester United 442 double midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Schmeichel,
Defender: Irwin, Parister, Bruce, Gary·Neville,
Midfielder: Dejan Lu, Redondo, Keane, Beckham,
Forwards: Cantona, McClair.
Juventus 433 Double central midfielder and single defensive midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Peruzzi,
Defenders: Gianluca·Pessotto, Massimo·Carrera, Verchowod, Ferrara,
Midfielder: Paolo·Souza, Didier·Deschamps, Anthony·Conte,
Forwards: Piero, Ravanelli, Lombardo.
"Both sides are almost using their main players. Just looking at the members of the national team, Juventus' lineup is more terrifying than Manchester United. This team with Italian National Team as the backbone, combined with Portugal genius Sosa and France's best defensive midfielder Deschamps, is almost an enhanced version of Italian National Team."
"The most important thing is that Juventus's confrontation ability is very strong, ridiculously strong." Jim Beglin said in a strange tone.
You can see it when the camera scans the players from the two teams.
Juventus' offensive players are much stronger than Manchester United's offensive players.
Lombardo can be several times stronger than Beckham at the same position. This should not be the case even if he is a few years older.
"Haha, yes, but I still don't think highly of Juventus. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks are useless."
If it weren't for Sosa's skills, Juventus's midfielder would simply be more muscle-intensive.
This game was almost the pinnacle of defense against Ferguson's improved mainland tactics.
Naturally, it attracted a lot of attention.
The camera was frequently shown to the stands, and almost all members of the Agnelli family, the owner of Juventus, appeared in the box.
The Princess will naturally not miss such an important occasion.
The British the Royal Family doesn't watch Manchester United football much now, but the Princess will always be a frequent visitor to Theatre of Dreams. "La Gazzetta dello Sport" even jokingly called her the godmother of Manchester United.
Compared with Rossoneri, Juventus's background is still worse.
They don't have many celebrities.
There were even fewer people present. Big names like Zoff and Platini all have their own careers.
Without Platini, there will be no representative of Juventus in its most glorious period.
Compared with the Milan duo, the Bianconeri's first Champions League came only in the 1980s, and then came the vigorous runner-up era.
At 7:30 pm, Austrian referee Sandor Biro blew the whistle to start the game.
Ravanelli knocked Piero sideways, Piero passed sideways to Conte, Conte continued to knock Deschamps horizontally, and the Bianconeri played a very layered football.
Lippi has been able to dominate football for many years, so he must have something.
Manchester United players are not in a hurry either.
After finding that there was no chance at the beginning, they started to press symbolically, which was a little more calm than the average team.
This is the so-called championship temperament.
If you can play football steadily, you have the confidence to win.
It's not like Amorim was so fucking anxious at the end.
This kind of competition at the tactical level was not exciting, and the volume of Theatre of Dreams was not as good as before the start.
Both teams have mature tactical systems, and the focus is on the midfield battle.
Even Dejan Lu actively participated today. Juventus's midfielder's fighting ability is quite extraordinary.
No matter Deschamps or Conte, they are not easy to deal with.
In the 7th minute, Keane just got the ball and Sosa rushed forward.
This Portugal midfielder is Juventus' weakest player.
But Keane was not careless and immediately kicked him horizontally.
Redondo just got the ball and Deschamps tackled it.
Redondo rarely chose to pass back, because Deschamps was followed by Conte watching his passing route.
Parister quickly transfers mid- to long-distance passes sideways.
As a defender with good passing ability, he keenly discovered that Juventus' focus was on the right.
Beckham easily took the ball without any pressure, and then quickly passed the center line with a flick of his right foot.
Many times he sacrifices his offensive power.
But it does not mean that Beckham is weak.
His long passing accuracy is also at the top level among England who specializes in passing.
Ferrara rushed up to press Beckham. He also knew that this young man had good passing ability.
Beckham tried a pass but failed. He forced a pass and was blocked by Ferrara.
Italy defender's tactical execution ability is quite terrifying.
Gary·Neville ran to the frontcourt to throw a foul ball, and found that Juventus stood firm and focused on almost every point.
"Give it back."
Bruce reminded.
Gary·Neville turned sideways and threw the ball back into the backcourt.
There is no chance to force the ball forward, which easily gives the opponent a chance to counterattack.
Bruce got the ball behind the center circle, and Lombardo rushed forward.
Lombardo, who previously served as a substitute for Dejan Lu, is not only stronger, but also more confident.
Bruce thought for a moment and turned around and sent back Schmeichel. Knocking horizontally was still a bit dangerous.
The Danish goalkeeper directly met the ball and rushed out of the penalty area with a big kick. He wanted to try to find Dejan Lu.
However, Verchowod was obviously aware of this. The short central defender rushed towards Dejan Lu, holding on to Dejan Lu, creating a chance for Conte to catch the ball.
"Asshole, do you want to kill someone?"
Dejan Lu complained.
"If you talk like that again I will complain to the referee."
Verchowod blinked and said.
"Dad, you are so shameless!!!"
The two people were still teasing each other, and shouts came from the stands.
"Uncle Dejan, come on!!!"
Dejan Lu looked up and saw Paolo·Verchowod waving vigorously.
"Pietro, children will only stand on the side of justice."
Dejan Lu imitated the other party's wink and said, turning around and running away.
Pietro·Verchowod just felt a little heartbroken.
My son strongly requested to go to the game to watch the game. He asked for leave and bought tickets. Unexpectedly, he came to cheer for the opponent.
This gave the old father a big blow.
The stalemate on the field continued.
Both teams protect the center quite tightly, and just passing the ball on the wing does not pose much of a threat.
[Piero] As a winger, his big problem is that his speed and explosive power are not strong.
If you say he is not strong, you can always score good goals. If you say he is strong, you can't count on him at critical moments.
Dejan Lu quickly figured out how to play.
If Juventus doesn't fight hard, then we won't go head-to-head with them.
In the 17th minute, Schmeichel threw the ball, and Irwin passed it to Redondo again.
Conte rushed forward like a mad dog, and his temper was not very good when playing football.
Seeing Dejan Lu asking for the ball, Redondo turned sideways and immediately passed it.
After Dejan Lu caught the ball, Deschamps quickly moved to the side.
Dejan Lu took the ball and dribbled the ball diagonally with small steps. The distance between the two people became closer and closer.
As soon as Deschamps accelerated, Dejan Lu flicked his ankle and passed the ball in front of him.
Snap,
Deschamps subconsciously stretched his foot but still couldn't touch it.
Cantona didn't stop after receiving the ball and passed the ball to the left again.
Dejan Lu goes up and gets the ball easily.
Deschamps was unwilling to run after Dejan Lu. Dejan Lu looked sideways at Redondo. The French midfielder immediately moved his steps to block his passing route.
But Dejan Lu rubbed the inside of his instep, and the ball flew laterally to the right.
Even if Deschamps is not a genius, he still knows that he has been fooled.
He glared hard at Dejan Lu.
Dejan Lu shrugged, NO-LOOK-PASS is not difficult, is there really anyone who can't do it?
Beckham received the ball and Sosa wanted to press. He was about to pass the ball when he saw Dejan Lu's signal. He decisively raised his arm and kicked the ball. The ball passed over Verchowod's head and went into the penalty area. Cantona's low shot after getting the ball near the baseline was caught by Peruzzi.
Although this attack failed to pose a threat, Manchester United clearly found a way to deal with it.
No matter how fast you press, you can't outrun the ball.
Quick passing and receiving can easily penetrate Juventus' tactical system.
This is the secret behind why Arsenal can score goals against anyone.
Ferguson smiled and clapped his hands, showing his masterly demeanor.
As a coach with the most championships in football, he has also begun to pay attention to his personal image.
Damn French!
Act like a gentleman every time.
This is the biggest reason why he changed his image.
Ferguson does not allow himself to lose to a nasty opponent.
Even if he didn't care that much before.
Sometimes he would think, how could there be such annoying people?
Arsenal is not even a competitor, but it strongly opposes Manchester United's change of schedule.
The day after this game, it was Manchester Derby.
When he thought of this, his teeth itched with hatred.
Otherwise, there will be a gap of more than ten days after playing Arsenal. A slight change in the schedule will be more reasonable and allow the players to get sufficient rest.
He will remember this incident for the rest of his life, and he will definitely give the Frenchman a hard blow if he finds the opportunity.
Juventus's technology is also good.
Several midfielders look rough, but none of them have the ability to advance with the ball.
Deschamps took the ball and started to rush forward. After fighting with Keane, he passed the ball to Ravanelli. Ravanelli turned around and passed the ball to Lombardo.
Lombardo rubbed his feet to avoid Gary·Neville's tackle and sent a cross.
What's a little embarrassing is that no one in the middle is grabbing the ball, and Schmeichel easily picks the ball off.
Ravanelli is known as the successor of Vialli.
Currently Italian National Team should also be the first choice.
However, his strength and luck are far from average.
Dejan Lu remembers that he later moved to Middlesbrough, coached by Brian·Robson. The team won the Silver Boot but was relegated. The captain of Manchester United was very cool when he coached.
It's hard to find a number one among Robson, Bruce and Hughes. The coaching skills of these people are really not very good.
Dejan Lu thinks that if he has too much money in the future, he might as well buy all the teams in the league and invite Manchester United to fight against Milan.
Nine coaches from each side will coach a team, giving everyone similar transfer funds and two seasons to fight Solskjaer, Nesta VS Neville. This will definitely be very interesting, and it can also be made into a variety show.
A league like Billy can be ranked not too low and has little money.
It is estimated that the football associations of small countries are also willing to facilitate such a thing, which can increase the attention of their leagues and cultivate many newcomers from the countries where the leagues are located in two years.
If you add the sponsorship fee and sell it later, you shouldn't lose money.
The key is that something like this is difficult to replicate a second time.
It's hard to find coaches who are famous, about the same age, and have played for the same team in their careers.
But it's a bit of a bully-man connection.
Gary·Neville can directly book a relegation spot.
It's hard to say who is the strongest among a bunch of guys, but everyone knows who is the worst.
This thing is really exciting. In a few years, Dejan Lu will consider whether to do it. The entire league will be sponsored by Monica's Hamburgers.
As the game progresses, Dejan Lu has been frequently organizing on the left.
Use the pass to move Conte and Deschamps's positions.
It doesn't matter if they don't score a goal, just consume their energy.
No matter how good you are at running, can you still run more than 13,000 meters in one race?
Everyone in shock is Beckham.
Beckham Although not as exaggerated as the legendary 16 kilometers in 90 minutes in a single game, his running ability is indeed very good.
Now Ferguson is using him as a troublemaker running on the right, who can occasionally pass good balls.
Although it cannot make full use of the characteristics of Beckham, it is enough for Manchester United.
When excellent players are together, they always have to prioritize.
Dejan Lu once again took the ball and passed it back to Redondo. Redondo moved his right foot and Sombrero flick passed Conte head-on.
Deschamps didn't dare to go up to fill the position, and kept staring at Dejan Lu.
Redondo can press forward with the ball calmly.
Lombardo and Piero could only run back as hard as they could.
But before they could return to half court, Redondo started rushing forward quickly.
Deschamps couldn't hold his breath and went to defend. Redondo immediately passed the ball to the left.
Dejan Lu took the ball and ran forward. Ferrara didn't even dare to tackle it. He kept standing on the line of the penalty area and waited for Dejan Lu to get the ball.
This made Dejan Lu, who originally wanted to play one-on-one, changed his mind.
Simply dial the ball slightly to find Ferrara.
He faced Ferrara sideways and moved the ball with his right foot, but knocked the ball into the penalty area with the outside of his left foot.
Snap——
Just a moment of lagging behind was enough for Dejan Lu.
When he reached the penalty area, he turned sideways and passed the ball through. Verchowod was still a step too late to make up the ball.
Snap——
The ball rolled directly from his feet to the middle. McClair turned sideways and easily sent the ball into the right side of the goal with his inner instep. Peruzzi didn't even have time to save it.
Boom——
The game lasted 30 minutes and the deadlock was finally broken.
Although it was McClair who scored the goal this time, if you have eyes, you will know who made the greatest contribution.
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
Theatre of Dreams The name of No. 7 rang again.
This is the king of Theatre of Dreams.
"Goal!"
"McClair!"
"McClair scored the first goal of the day with the assist of Dejan."
"This time Dejan continued to organize on the left. After cooperating with Redondo, he entered the penalty area from the left and passed the ball low, allowing McClair to score easily."
"Manchester United's left attack, from Redondo to Dejan, and then from Dejan to Cantona, the cooperation is very tacit and smooth. It does not mean that using the crowd tactic to limit Dejan can limit Manchester United's left attack. Three or more players are cooperating. If you want to steal the opponent, there must be at least two more people than the attacker."
"It's like this. Manchester United players run very well and are always looking for a position to receive the ball. This forces their opponents to keep running."
"The defender runs passively and will soon be pulled out of space. This is an unsolvable problem."
Lippi stared at the field with his hands in his pockets.
Even if it was expected before the game, it still made him find it difficult to accept.
Dejan Lu's strength goes beyond tactics.
This is like making an appointment to line up with your opponent to shoot, but unexpectedly the opponent showed up with an AK.
It's not a weapon of the same era at all.
Here you shout that the emperor is on board, and the other party throws the little boy away.
Can that be the same?
The feeling was not so strong during Atalanta.
By the time he left Napoli to take over Juventus, Dejan Lu was no longer in Serie A.
But in a face-to-face confrontation, you can still feel that damn sense of oppression.
Too strong!
It looked like a random pass from the left wing, but the continuous passing organization before that obviously made the Juventus players feel a little swollen.
That's why this sudden start seems so easy.
Maybe Ferrara thought Dejan Lu would continue to send back messages.
It took more than half an hour to create an illusion for Juventus. Even if Manchester United reached the penalty area, there was nothing they could do to them.
Then suddenly his fangs were revealed.
Being able to endure is one thing, and having a heart is another.
Dejan Lu taught Juventus a good lesson.
It's not that I can't break the door, I just want to use a more cunning method.
McClair was extremely excited after scoring the goal.
The goal in the semi-finals!
If he continues like this, he may even leave his name on the Champions League scorer list.
The Wales international player knows very well that scoring more goals while playing football means being more famous. If you are famous, your life will be more comfortable after retirement.
He is now buying a watch for Dejan Lu, which is an investment.
However, the risk is not even mentioned, it is a very stable capital-preserving investment.
Before, he felt that Cantona and Andy Cole would put a lot of pressure on him.
Now, at a glance, Cantona is clueless and Andy Cole is Shaozhi. If this continues, who might be able to stay at Manchester United and play longer.
Paolo·Verchowod in the stands shouted wildly in celebration.
Juventini near him fell silent.
If he hadn't known that he was a family member of a player, he might have been beaten by now.
Juventus fans have always been one of the most brutal groups, and Milan fans also have many football hooligans, but they are far behind in terms of firepower. Juventus fans have heavy firepower.
"It's so difficult."
Conte, who was wearing the captain's armband, lowered his head and said.
He moved to Juventus from Lecce very early.
It was only later that I discovered that I was just being abused by Dejan Lu in a different place.
Today's game obviously reminded him of the unbearable past.
"Just get used to it."
Lombardo said, "When we were at Sampdoria, every opponent felt the same way. Once I even saw the Dutchman crying when he was kicked."
"Really or not?"
Conte asked.
"Really, you should feel that powerless feeling when you keep losing. No matter how hard you try, you can't win."
Lombardo said.
Conte rolled his eyes fiercely.
That's what he said, but it didn't sound very good.
It seems that this season's Champions League journey may be coming to an end here.
Piero returned to the center circle with his teammates.
He came to the position relatively late, and he was still in the second level when Dejan Lu was killing everyone.
But in today's usual duel, you can still feel how powerful Dejan Lu is.
Everyone focuses on defense, but Dejan Lu will still perform well against defenders of Ferrara and Verchowod's level.
In comparison, Irwin and Parister are weaker, but they have already targeted him.
The somewhat unwilling zebra the Prince wants to show off.
beep,
Ravanelli The kickoff is still a horizontal knock.
Piero took the ball and tried to take it forward, but Beckham still actively grabbed it.
Two talented teenagers meet on a narrow road.
Piero was very nimble on his feet and even deliberately used Sombrero flick to pass Beckham.
Beckham It was too late to recover it.
However, Keane filled the position very quickly, he just made a sliding tackle.
Piero was startled. Although he controlled the ball with an emergency stop, Beckham had already caught up.
In this case, the zebra the Prince didn't dare to mess around anymore, so he turned around and gave it to Paolo Sousa.
As an important member of the group Portugal's Golden Generation, Sosa is soft compared to a tough guy like Deschamps.
He's actually a very versatile player.
After catching the ball, he waited for Keane to grab the ball before sending a precise pass.
Conte received the ball on the other side and quickly rushed towards Manchester United's penalty area. This time, the attack caused some chaos to Manchester United's defense.
Redondo rushed over to cover up the defense, and Bruce and Irwin also rushed up almost at the same time.
Faced with such an opening, Conte immediately sent a through ball.
Piero startup speed is not slow.
"Get out of my way!"
Schmeichel discovered the danger and decisively abandoned the door.
His momentum was still very strong. Piero paused and took a step slower, allowing the Danish goalkeeper to get the ball under him first.
After a second, Schmeichel picked up the ball and stood up.
Seeing the position of Dejan Lu, he was indeed preparing to attack.
The Danish goalkeeper threw the ball up and kicked the ball hard.
"Danger, get back on guard!!!"
Lippi shouted at the top of his lungs.
The ball flew directly over the center line, making coach Italy realize something was wrong.
Ferrara simply rushed out of the penalty area and wanted to compete with Dejan Lu for the top position. His take-off height after the approach was a bit exaggerated, and Dejan Lu simply gave up taking off.
The ball was pushed hard from the front of the Juventus penalty area.
But it was obtained by Cantona who was behind.
Cantona once again sent a pass to find Dejan Lu. At this time, the Juventus players had returned to the penalty area.
Even so, it doesn't give Lippi much sense of security.
The situation just now is exactly the same as now.
Dejan Lu dribbled the ball into the penalty area, made an emergency stop and kicked back, and stood near the top corner of the penalty area.
Ferrara carefully pressed his center of gravity, ready to take action at any time.
Dejan Lu Lifted his right foot and then dropped it.
Click,
The ball moved slightly, then Dejan Lu moved his left foot, and his right foot rubbed under the ball again.
Bang——
It's not a fake shot.
Ferrara reacted a step too slowly and failed to stretch his legs.
After the ball took off, it went straight to the right side of the goal. Peruzzi flew sideways for the first time, but what made him a little desperate was that the ball was too far away and he couldn't catch it if he was standing close. The ball hit the right post and fell into the goal.
Boom——
"Dejan!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The Manchester United players ran wildly towards the frontcourt and celebrated wantonly.
Theatre of Dreams is truly a place where dreams come true.
Del Piero put his hands on his hips and looked back at Dejan Lu who was surrounded by people. He couldn't help but feel envious...
