I know Europeans are not good at geography.
But this is too damn outrageous.
When you were young, didn't your parents hang maps on the wall?
Anyone who has looked at a map will know that Sri Lanka is near India.
Well, Totti might think that India is also Europe, after all, it is the crown jewel of the British Empire.
"Stop teasing Francesco, uncle Roberto Mancini."
Dejan Lu said.
"Damn bastard, just because of you, others call me Uncle Roberto Mancini!" Roberto Mancini said angrily, reaching out to grab Dejan Lu's neck collar.
Today's kids all fucking think his career is Joker.
Redondo stretched out an arm, but Roberto Mancini's arm was not long enough. The scene was quite funny.
Dejan Lu suppressed a smile and said, "My reputation is gone anyway, so why not get some money as compensation. Are you ready to give up your shares in Monica's Hamburgers?"
"Dream, that's what I deserve!"
Roberto Mancini said.
"It's true, I have to sit in front of Hamburger shop every day." Totti complained on the side, "I often go to Monica's Hamburgers to buy things, and I see you every time."
"Damn you kid, I decided I'm going to retire and coach Roma!"
Roberto Mancini said angrily.
Totti said disdainfully, "At your level, Mr. Sensi will not invite you to coach."
Roma changed owners and was acquired by the Sensi family last year.
This family is not rich, but it has invested a lot in Roma. Even when it was going bankrupt, it was still investing tens of millions in selling the club. The glory of Serie A basically depends on the boss throwing money, and the money-making ability is indeed not very good.
This is also very similar to the Chinese Super League.
Essentially, it's because players are too expensive, and ordinary leagues can't keep up with Premier League's money-spending speed.
Especially after the big Paris directly smashed Neymar, cats and dogs cost 50 million to 100 million. Many players in Serie A, let alone lottery tickets, cannot afford to spend that much money even if they buy immediate combat power.
There were no colonial benefits and no stadium of its own.
It would not be unusual for Serie A to fall outside fifth place.
If you want to revive, it's better to look at the boss and find someone to take advantage of than anything else.
A relatively poor family like the Sensi family can spend tens of millions every season to introduce Cassano at a record-breaking cost for young players. Even a Serie A team in 2020 will find it difficult to spend such money.
This summer's European Championship is a big deal.
Many players and celebrities who are preparing to watch the European Championship will go to Rome in advance to watch Champions Cup.
This resulted in Dejan Lu becoming the busiest person before the game.
It is estimated that Lu Junyi was not as busy as him at the time.
Fortunately, these football practitioners are all wealthy people and will not have to pay Dejan the Football King any expenses.
But taking photos and chatting with them every day is also very tiring.
Especially some Brazilians.
Even talking about women is different. Brazilian players like to spend money to find women, which makes Dejan Lu a little unbearable.
Just like players at the level of Ronaldinho and Carlos, all their illegitimate children are from dancing girls.
Ronaldo It's even worse. I spent money to find one with a handle.
You are already one of the world's top players. Even if you don't find a famous woman, why don't you find some decent women?
Players in the Americas all have this problem, and even Mexico was exposed as having a collective search for chickens in two consecutive major competitions. Maybe Rooney also has American ancestry.
After sending Romario away, when I returned to the room, I saw Roberto Mancini, Totti and Redondo playing Landlord.
"You're here Dejan, I'm lucky today."
Roberto Mancini shook his cards and said.
Dejan Lu:...
This idiot has some good cards and everyone can see it.
Winning was just a matter of luck.
"Have you arrived at the country L'Équipe you are going to next?"
Dejan Lu asked sitting on the sofa.
"Yes, I am an important member of Italian National Team, how could you not take me with you?" Roberto Mancini said with raised eyebrows.
Totti looked dark on the side.
The Little Prince failed to make the roster.
"The final is the day after tomorrow. Real Madrid will be beaten to death."
Totti asked, changing the subject.
"It's not that simple. That's Real Madrid."
Roberto Mancini said from the side.
"Tch, you are just afraid of Real Madrid." Totti said disdainfully, "Real Madrid will lose miserably every time he meets Dejan."
"What does Dejan's bloodbath at Real Madrid have to do with you? You are so proud. If you weren't too old, I would have thought you were Dejan's illegitimate son." Roberto Mancini complained.
Unable to resist, Totti took action directly.
The two of them started fighting on the bed, and Redondo quickly took the cards and moved aside.
Roberto Mancini is obviously no match for Totti.
Even though Totti was young, his body was in better shape, and with a little excitement, Roberto Mancini was completely suppressed.
Not long after, Totti put his knee on his back and asked, "Are you wrong?"
"Francesco·Lu."
Roberto Mancini continued.
Totti added a little more strength to his hand.
Roberto Mancini's body made a clicking sound, and Dejan Lu was a little worried that Totti would break his spine.
Fortunately, there was a knock on the door at this time.
Dejan Lu turned around and opened the door, saw the person at the door and said, "Paolo, are you here to see the pre-match situation of the Champions League finalists?"
"You guy..."
Paolo Maldini pushed him away angrily, walked into the room and said, "Adriana wants to come and cheer you up. I told you earlier that you don't need it."
"You don't have to push your thoughts to her, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Dejan Lu put his arm around Paolo Maldini's shoulders and said, "We are good brothers."
Paolo Maldini pushed Dejan Lu in disgust.
He sat on the sofa and asked, "Are you sure of winning?"
"Have you all bought football? You always ask me if I am sure. How can I be sure about playing football?" Dejan Lu rolled his eyes and said.
Paolo Maldini:...
"Milan is going to change its president, do you know?"
Paolo Maldini asked mysteriously.
"What?"
Dejan Lu's eyes widened.
No, it's too early.
"What's going on?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"I'm not sure. I heard what my dad said. Galliani You know, the manager who has been missing for a long time seems to have made a fortune." Paolo Maldini said.
"I know that guy."
Dejan Lu asked, "He wants to acquire Milan?"
"It seems like this. I don't know the details. It seems that Mr. Berlusconi is going to exchange the team for a sum of money. In name, Mr. Berlusconi is still the owner of the club. If he buys the team, he must guarantee his investment."
Paolo Maldini said uncertainly.
Dejan Lu:...
No wonder Old Berlusconi is selling.
He bought Milan just to expand his reputation and make a difference in the political arena.
The reputation is his and he doesn't have to invest in it, so it's really nice to sell it.
Isn't this the same as spending other people's money to become a big brother in the rankings, pretending to be cool but not spending money.
Galliani That old boy is not ordinary, he actually made so much money.
I didn't expect so many things to happen to Italy.
If Paolo Maldini hadn't said it, he really wouldn't have known.
Later in the evening, Dejan Lu invited many Italy players to have dinner together.
Playing the final in Rome, many Italy players chose to watch the game live.
When people come to support Dejan the Football King, they have to show some expression.
The next day, the Manchester United team simply adapted to the venue and returned to the hotel, waiting for the final to come.
On match day.
Reports of the Champions League final took the world by storm.
Even if there is a European Championship, the Champions League is the most popular competition now.
Photos of Manchester United training yesterday were taken and published in the newspapers.
The old captain Robson, who has left the team, said in an interview with "The Times": "I am now a coach, player and coach. At this time, I can fully understand that it is not easy to be the boss. It is very difficult to coach a team. But with Dejan here, everything will become a lot easier. I think Real Madrid has no chance. Manchester United will become the unprecedented Seven Sisters. If I had known it, I would have stayed with the team for one more season."
Beckenbauer said in an interview with "Bild newspaper": "Real Madrid is very great. They have a great history, but I stick to my point of view. It was a mistake for Bayern not to buy Dejan. If possible, I would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy Dejan. He is worth the price. He is the best player now, bar none."
Real Madrid star Stefano expressed a similar view. He told "Aspen": "Manchester United is terrifyingly strong. I knew English football would come back, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Dejan accelerated the process. He made English football pass the most difficult period. This game will be very difficult for Real Madrid. I think it is a good idea to focus on defense."
Roma the Prince Giannini told "Gazzetta dello Sport": "I respect Real Madrid very much. It is a team with a great history. But if you know Dejan, you know that he cannot lose. When he was in Serie A, every time I faced Sampdoria, I needed to be mentally prepared in advance. It is very difficult to play against Dejan. You need to keep watching him score wonderful goals and keep yourself from being hit. This is very difficult.
I remember that time he came to the Italian National Team station to cheer us on. At that time, all the Italy national players were looking at him, but no one had that kind of aura. Dejan looked like a conqueror, just like Caesar. "
"La Gazzetta dello Sport" published a photo of Dejan Lu rushing into the fire, and published an interview about the mother and son.
A middle-aged woman named Jennifer Ma Ronaldo said, "I am not a fanatical fan, but after that I became a fan of Dejan. Oh my god, at that time I was thinking that my little Paolo and I must die. The fire had already burned downstairs, but I didn't expect Dejan rushed in. God, he seemed like an angel at that time. My mind was in a mess. Dejan arranged everything. I didn't know what I was thinking. But in the next game, Dejan will definitely win. If he loses, it must be because God is asleep."
The now 8-year-old Paolo·Ma Ronaldo was interviewed wearing a Manchester United's number 7 jersey. The young Paolo said, "Dejan saved my mother and I. He is a superhero. My friends and I are all his supporters. Although we can't go there, we will definitely watch the game in front of the TV. Dejan is the best!"
Bringing up old things again.
Italy fans don't find it strange.
At that time, Dejan Lu was playing in Serie A and making headlines almost every day.
Now that I see such news about Dejan Lu, it's as if he has never left.
In Apennines, every fan has his own home team, but this does not prevent them from supporting Dejan Lu.
The TV station has already prepared the warm-up.
The whole world is waiting for the upcoming football gluttonous feast.
Football is about to go home, and the British guys are equally enthusiastic about this game and want to warm up European Championship.
The famous star Lineker, who recently retired, was invited by the TV station to do a street interview.
Lineker stopped a fan wearing a Roma jersey and asked, "Do you support Dejan?"
There was a reporter nearby who was responsible for translating.
The fan nodded and said to the camera, "Totti is a genius, he is the successor of Dejan!"
"Okay, then do you think Manchester United is strong because English football is very strong?" Lineker asked expectantly.
After hearing this, the fans looked at Lineker with wide eyes and said, "English football is bullshit. The ball keeps flying in the sky. Your strength is not even as good as Spain."
Lineker took away the microphone with some embarrassment and said to the camera, "This fan may be biased against the England national team, but we can interview other fans."
This time he was able to find a fan wearing a Manchester United shirt and ask, "Where are you from?"
"German Democratic Republic."
The fans said directly.
Lineker:...
He felt that this might not be a good interview subject, as East Germany was disbanded.
But I could only bite the bullet and ask, "Then as a German, why do you support Manchester United?"
"I am not a German, I am the German Democratic Republic!" the fan said angrily, "The damn bastard lied to us and robbed our wealth and factories. Dejan can bloodbath the West German team every time, so we all support him. The West Germans should go to hell!!!"
The live broadcast screen switched directly back to the live broadcast room.
The topic discussed by this fan is somewhat sensitive.
Martin·Taylor said with a dry smile, "It seems that the fans are very supportive of Manchester United. This also shows that English football is developing very well. It would be great if it can become the first team to defend the Champions League after the restructuring."
"They obviously support Dejan. If Dejan goes to Aberdeen, he and they are Aberdeen fans." Jim Beglin said.
Ahem,
Martin·Taylor could only cough dryly to hide the embarrassment.
The partner sitting next to him is not a good person either.
As a guest, Hilton nodded and said, "Dejan is a player with a very charismatic personality. I am also his supporter, but I will never support Manchester United."
"Right, Dejan is great!"
Beglin said excitedly.
The two people communicated.
Martin·Taylor could only sit aside in embarrassment.
As a famous tourist city, Rome has many tourist intentions.
But this time the number of tourists clearly exceeded the city hall's expectations.
In a few days, more than 1.2 million tourists poured in. Although it was only less than one-third of the Romans population, it still had a serious impact on the security of Rome.
First of all, there are not that many places to stay in this city.
Some locals used their homes as B&Bs to earn money for a few days, which also caused some security issues.
In the past few days since the two teams arrived in Rome, the sirens of Rome have not stopped.
They arranged for police cars to clear the way in advance, but the road to Rome Olympic Stadium was still blocked, and the bus moved slowly like a turtle.
Even if the Manchester United players have seen the world, they still can't help but be surprised.
In Japan, fans are so enthusiastic that buses are not blocked so seriously.
"Italy The police are still like this." Redondo complained.
"Yes, Italy's police officers don't have high incomes, so their work enthusiasm is not very high."
Dejan Lu said with a smile.
"What about the Japanese?"
Redondo asked.
"It doesn't seem to be very high, and it's very difficult to get promoted, but Asia is different. Asia Countries are very concerned about face, and security at events with foreigners will be better."
Dejan Lu explained.
The Pan-Confucian cultural circles are all similar.
Beckham noticed the enthusiastic fans and said, "Italy girls seem to be very beautiful."
"Let me see, let me see!" Gary·Neville squeezed to the window.
Many players followed and looked outside.
Dejan Lu agrees with this matter.
Italy girls are indeed the best in Europe, otherwise you have to look at Eastern Europe.
Just one face shape can push England and a German girl to the ground and rub them against each other.
"Li, there is a girl holding a phone, do you want to try again?"
Bruce encouraged.
Sharp immediately shook his head.
What happened last time, he was almost killed.
I don't want to go through it again.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, the Manchester United players also became excited.
However, the bus arrived at the stadium more than an hour late, which still tortured everyone.
At the reminder of Ferguson, the players got out of the car and quickly walked into the stadium.
"Dejan, let's go to the press conference with me."
Ferguson waved and said.
Dejan Lu followed and walked over.
The two went to the press conference together.
The press room of Rome Olympic Sports is not small, but there are too many reporters, and many people can only stand in place.
Soon Arsenio sat down with Hierro.
The reporters couldn't wait to ask questions.
"Fernando, did you have a conflict with your teammates?"
"Mr. Arsenio, which team is better between you and Manchester United?"
"Dejan, you rejected Real Madrid several times before, is it because you think Real Madrid is not strong enough?"
"How many goals will you score today Dejan?"
"Mr. Ferguson, which Real Madrid player is the most threatening?"
"If you had the chance in the summer, which Real Madrid player would you bring in, Alex?"
"..."
Journalists had many questions.
And it's all about both teams.
But they obviously put Real Madrid in a weak position.
Arsenio said with some displeasure, "The game hasn't started yet. It's too early to say whether we will win or lose. As for our players who will not be transferred, I don't know who wants to leave the team yet."
"Is it true that the relationship between you and Míchel·Laudrup has broken down? Will he leave Real Madrid in the summer?"
asked the reporter with a Catalan accent.
They have been waiting for this day.
Arsenio's face became even worse. He said, "Míchel is a great player. We have a great friendship and there is no relationship breakdown at all."
"Then why did the reporter take a picture of him ignoring you at the end?"
the reporter asked.
Obviously he doesn't want to let Arsenio go.
"Players will be very tired when they get off the field, and it's normal to not want to talk sometimes, and today is the pre-match press conference for the Champions League final." Arsenio said angrily.
"Then will you let Laudrup debut?"
the reporter asked.
Arsenio said, "I don't want to discuss my lineup, but I can tell you in advance that Míchel will start today. He is an important part of our tactics, so don't ask any more boring questions. There are no problems between us. We are very good!"
"Paolo Breitner thinks your tactics are conservative, what do you think?"
the reporter asked.
"Who is that, a famous Real Madrid player?" Arsenio asked in anger.
The reporter reminded him that the other party had played for Real Madrid for 4 seasons and won three championships.
Arsenio rolled his eyes fiercely.
Of course he knew who Breitner was.
But if you criticize me, then I don't recognize you.
Arsenio said angrily, "There are many players who have won championships in Real Madrid. I don't know every one of them. This is normal. If he wins the Ballon d'Or, I won't forget his name. Mr. Breitner doesn't seem to have achieved much as a coach. I can't understand why he misunderstands me. Do you know how to coach after playing football?"
Ferguson was snickering on the side.
I didn't expect this colleague to be quite interesting.
Big clubs also have big club problems.
There are too many celebrities, and not everyone will come out to cause you some trouble.
This is not a problem at Manchester United.
The old guys in Manchester United's early days are basically 180 years old. In the last glorious period, they were the Three Saints. Those famous players were very good in their stance and never talked too much.
This saves him a lot of trouble in coaching.
Hierro found that the coach was a little unable to hold on, so he quickly helped and said, "We have made a lot of preparations. The coach has been busy with tactical matters recently, so he does not understand some situations."
"Your tactics have been arranged. Can you defend Dejan?"
one reporter asked.
"We will work hard." Hierro said briefly.
He really didn't want to answer this kind of question.
Even if it hadn't started, he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to defend against it.
But speaking directly, Real Madrid seems a bit weak.
"Besides Dejan, who is Manchester United's most threatening player?"
the reporter asked.
Hierro thought for a moment and said, "Cantona, his skills are very good. I have watched him play football and his ability is very strong."
Hierro is patient.
After he finished answering, the reporter looked at Ferguson.
Ferguson said, "You always want to ask me whether I will introduce opponents' players. I know that Real Madrid has many excellent players, but I can't buy them if I want. It's like Fernando·Hierro is already sitting here, but I'm not sure if he has a chance to wear the Manchester United jersey. If possible, I hope he plays in Theatre of Dreams."
Dejan Lu quickly lowered his head.
It starts again!
Arsenio obviously felt something was wrong and said, "You can't talk about my players before the game!"
"Sorry, the reporter asked."
Ferguson shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I thought it was my responsibility to answer the question. I will definitely pay attention next time."
Arsenio glared at Ferguson fiercely.
No wonder those reporters wrote so brilliantly about this guy's psychological warfare.
Hell, he invited his players to play for Manchester United right in person.
Even Hierro will have psychological fluctuations.
Seeing Ferguson's face, he couldn't help it. Arsenio slapped the table hard and stood up.
Hierro quickly followed and left together.
"Look, you are unhappy if I don't answer. Some people are unhappy if I answer. But judging from the number of people, more people are happy if I answer. This is democracy."
Ferguson blinked and said.
Many people at the scene laughed.
He's a wisecracking coach.
"Mr. Ferguson, you defeated Real Madrid when you were in Aberdeen. Do you think there is any difference between the two Real Madrids?"
one reporter asked, raising his hand.
"The team I lead now is stronger."
Ferguson said with a smile, "We reached the Cup Winners' Cup final 13 years ago. No one thought that Aberdeen could beat a big club like Real Madrid. But now the situation seems to be reversed. The newspapers think that Manchester United has a greater chance of winning. This shows that I have grown well and I am very satisfied."
"Then do you think Manchester United can win today? Is the probability of victory high?"
the reporter asked.
Ferguson said, "I don't want to make any predictions, but we will work very, very hard. This championship means a lot to us, and everyone will run to the last second for it."
The reporters nodded along.
Seven Sisters ah.
Of course it means a lot.
Champions Cup is also one of the most important trophies.
If you don't get Champions Cup, it will be somewhat unsatisfactory.
"Can you tell me the secret to your good results this season?"
the reporter asked.
"Just try to play every game well, don't think too much, this is the result now." Ferguson glanced at the time and said, "If you don't want to ask questions Dejan you can continue to ask me, we have to go back to prepare."
The reporter quickly changed his target and asked, "Dejan, who is the player who poses the greatest threat to Real Madrid?"
"Louis Enrico and Laudrup are both very strong. If I only name them, it would be difficult for me to name them." Dejan Lu said.
Real Madrid's results during this period are average, but the lineup is not bad at all.
They always bring in big-name players.
"It's half a home game in Rome, do you think you can win?"
the reporter asked.
Dejan Lu said with a smile, "This is the last question. I have to go back and change equipment. The coach said that he will not predict the outcome, but considering that I have never lost here, then I have no reason to lose today, right?"
Boom——
The reporters were excited again.
Such confident words are great.
Regardless of whether Manchester United wins or loses, it is good news after the game.
If Manchester United loses, you can use these words to mock Dejan Lu.
The only thing that disappointed them was that Dejan Lu and Ferguson left the conference site.
On the way back, Ferguson thought for a while but still didn't speak.
Dejan Lu has said what he said, it's too late to say anything now.
The two people opened the door of the locker room, and Gary·Neville immediately greeted him, "Hurry up and change your clothes. Steve gave you the armband. He might be scared to pee."
"Damn Gary!"
Dejan Lu smiled and changed equipment, and chose the lottery by the way.
[Your good brothers Roberto·Roberto Mancini are very good at coaching after retiring, and even invited old teammates to join the coaching staff, so we selected a player who can usually only join the coaching staff after retiring.
