Gento!
He doesn't score as many goals as Stefano.
But the speed is very exaggerated.
As early as the 1950s, he could run under 11 seconds. At that time, Spain's 100-meter record was around 10.3 seconds.
Such speed without professional training.
This is talent.
However, when he first started playing football, he was too fast and was prone to being offside. After learning from Uruguay star Rial, he gradually became a player with both skills and speed.
Gento, who was born as a cattle herder, has always admired Stefano.
After retiring, he coached for a while, and then went to Real Madrid coach Stefano as a youth team coach.
From the court to after retirement, he took the initiative to help Stefano.
Such top wingmen are rare.
In recent years, such players like to compete for the top spot.
It's not certain whether the top wingman can score more goals, but not competing is an important part of the locker room.
"Let's go, Dejan."
Gary·Neville came up and helped Dejan Lu put the captain's armband on his left arm.
Dejan Lu nodded with a smile and followed his teammates out of the locker room.
Boom——
As Dejan Lu took a step out of the tunnel, Rome Olympic Stadium finally became an active volcano.
Endless enthusiasm burst out.
In Theatre of Dreams, other players can get cheered.
But in Apennines, Manchester United's other players are not enough.
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
The mountains roared and the tsunami roared.
Spanning the year 2052, it is just like the famous triumphal ceremony of Julius Caesar.
Even though Apennines has left, the legend of Dejan Lu is still circulating on this peninsula.
"Dejan, Dejan!!!"
The Little Prince Totti shouted louder than the fans.
Giannini and several teammates were dumbfounded.
As a professional player, you should at least have your own reserve.
Not far from them were Juventus players. The most eye-catching one was naturally the zebra the Prince Piero who stole Baggio's position.
Just such a small stand can accommodate three the Prince.
Old the Prince Giannini, the Little Prince Totti and zebra the Prince Piero.
Further to the right, close to the neutral stand, there are some players from Milan, such as ballet the Prince Van Basten, Milan the Prince Paolo Maldini, Baggio and Paolo Maldini sitting together, he is known as Melancholy Prince.
The director's footage was constantly shown to the stands.
Fans discovered this, too.
There are so many fucking Rome Olympic Stadium the Prince today.
Not to mention that the Royal Family from some countries also appear here, such as Henry Mountbatten and his mother, Spain the Royal Family.
Consider Real Madrid's Raúl, Bernabéu the Prince, and Redondo, known as Pampas the Prince.
This small Rome Olympic Stadium can accommodate no less than 10 the Prince, both real and fake.
The camera showed Baggio, and he quickly turned around and pretended to chat with Paolo Maldini.
"No need to do this, just say hello to the camera."
Paolo Maldini said with a smile.
"I'm not used to it. If I focus on the ball on the court, I'll be fine, but I'll be nervous off the court." Baggio explained in a low voice.
"Then why are you filming wilderness survival with Dejan and the others?"
Paolo Maldini complained.
"I didn't know it at the time, and Dejan didn't give me a chance to refuse."
Baggio said in a dumbfounded voice, "It's not bad. My wife said it's very good-looking. If it weren't for Dejan, I probably wouldn't have appeared on TV shows for so long in my life. At least I can let the fans get to know me in real life."
Paolo Maldini It feels pretty good.
He would also like to be on TV if given the chance.
Many players have felt the change of this era.
If you can please the fans, your brand can make a lot of money.
He is also worried about whether his quality of life will decline after retirement.
For example, his father has been a top player his whole life, and his assets are about the same as he is now. He still has a long time in his career.
Inflation is something you can feel even if you don't understand it.
The further back the players are, the richer they are.
Many people in his father's generation had never driven a luxury car, so they drove a Fiat until they retired.
Nearby is the neutral fan stand.
It was said to be neutral, but the tickets were reserved for Roma fans.
It's no different from the Manchester United fans' stand.
The neutral fan stands have always been the place where the most second-hand tickets are sold.
However, most of the scalpers supported Dejan Lu. The neutral fans' stands were ablaze with red, and everything from Roma jerseys to Manchester United jerseys were on display.
There are also many celebrities in the Real Madrid stands.
Ten or eight big stars can be produced in any period of time.
After five consecutive championships, even when results are poor, there are always top stars playing for the team.
The background is indeed quite sufficient on this point.
If the camera scans casually, it's the Golden Boot or the former captain of the national team.
No wonder there are more and more dreams of the emperor.
After the director's camera overlooked the stadium, it finally showed the players on both sides.
Dejan Lu is today's focus.
This game was broadcast by television stations in more than 170 countries and regions around the world, and countless news practitioners in the press box were busy filming or explaining.
Each player's resume and the meaning of their name.
family situation.
Even some gossips and transfer rumors will shock fans deeply if they are told at this time.
I just thought the explanation was very knowledgeable.
We have not yet reached the age of information explosion.
The information on the players is quite mysterious.
You can start a football magazine by translating a few foreign newspapers.
Not to mention the detailed information.
Many fake news were mistranslated or simply made up at this time. For example, Pelé scored 1,283 goals in 1,363 official games.
Simply think of Pelé as Miura Kazuyoshi.
I have played more than 500 games in my career. Considering that I am getting older, I don't want to be in my 50s.
There are also many rumors about Dejan Lu.
Fortunately, there is video evidence.
Italy media is still replaying it like crazy these days.
Even if you don't watch football, you will understand that Dejan Lu kicks a ball and saves the world.
Warming up with the ball, Dejan Lu didn't do too many tricks.
Just use your feet to bounce the ball back and forth.
Gary·Neville reached out for the ball, Dejan Lu stepped aside and the ball flew over.
Gary·Neville failed to remove it with his chest, and the ball bounced out. He could only run after the ball in despair.
"That guy's got a really bad feel for the ball."
Beckham was gloating on the sidelines.
"I heard that the scout didn't want Gary at the beginning. Gary followed the scout's car for several days. The scout was so annoyed that he accepted him." Scholes said in a wry voice from the side.
Dejan Lu:...
You fucking Asan was filming a movie, and you followed the car around for several days.
"Get out of here, I was a genius in school. They had already come to my parents and insisted that I come to Manchester United to play football."
Gary·Neville said angrily.
Although he is not that outstanding, he is not so choreographed.
That guy Scholes will do this.
When a few people were joking, the staff reminded them to go back to the passage.
As the camera moves, fans all over the world know that this focus battle is about to begin.
"This season's Champions League final is about to begin, and Manchester United has won many strong teams along the way."
"Yes, Real Madrid's schedule is easier in comparison, so it's normal not to be favored."
"Let's take a look at both sides' starters first."
Manchester United 442 double midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Schmeichel,
Defender: Irwin, Parister, Bruce, Gary·Neville,
Midfielder: Dejan Lu, Redondo, Keane, Beckham,
Forwards: Cantona, McClair.
Real Madrid 442 double midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Paco Buyo,
Defenders: Garcia Calvo, Rafael Alcorta, Hierro, Chendo,
Midfielder: Miguel Zarra so, Míchel·Laudrup, Luis Enrico, Míchel,
Forwards: Ivan Zambrano, Raúl Gonzalez.
"The formations of both sides are exactly the same, but there are still differences in some tactical details."
"Yes, Real Madrid's midfield is probably a bit less tough than Manchester United. Just looking at the roster, I feel that Laudrup and Enrico will suffer."
"That's right, Redondo and Keane are the best double midfielder partnership in football right now. There are very few players who can compete with them."
"The specific situation still has to be seen during the game. Maybe there is something in Real Madrid's tactics that we haven't guessed."
Before the game even started, the commentator was not very optimistic about Real Madrid's starting lineup.
At 7:30 pm, the referee Sandor Fezi from Hungary blew the whistle to start the game.
Zamorano kicked the ball to Raúl, and Raúl immediately passed it back.
Real Madrid's organization is patient.
Dejan Lu is not in a hurry to move forward.
[Gento]'s speed is there, even when he returns to the backcourt, he can easily use his speed to launch an impact.
The speed is so fast, but staying in the frontcourt is a waste of impact.
Luis Enrico comes up and sticks to Dejan Lu. This should be Real Madrid's tactical arrangement.
The core of the exchange strategy is to exchange marginal characters for the opponent's top cards. If it can be executed well, the benefits will be huge.
Like Werder Bremen or Huang Qian later, if you lose Miku or Riquelme, the opponent's strength will drop a lot.
Manchester United will not be able to play without Dejan the Football King.
But the strength has also declined.
Dejan Lu ran with Enrico, not in any hurry.
Don't even think about changing paths.
The speed is so fast, if you don't yo-yo Enrico, isn't it in vain?
Laudrup takes the ball forward himself, preparing to find an opportunity to pass it out.
Real Madrid's offensive players move forward very quickly.
Dejan Lu followed Míchel and ran back together. Enrico gave up after thinking about it for a while.
After all, when Laudrup takes the ball, he is not in his position, and Real Madrid's center will be directly vacant.
As one of the Five Eagles, Míchel is already 33 years old, and his speed is much slower than his peak.
Dejan Lu chased back without much effort and easily pinned him to the sideline.
Seeing this, Míchel tried to shake Dejan Lu with a fake move, but Dejan Lu didn't fall for the trick at all, and just stood there waiting to make a move.
The Eagle decided not to take risks and turned around and passed back to his teammates.
Chendo, as the greatest full-back in Real Madrid history, is also 34 years old.
Dejan Lu rushed up to the old guy without giving him any time to think.
But he is a top defender after all, so Chendo didn't panic when he chose to pass the ball, and passed it to Calvo on the other side.
Calvo was worried that he would be intercepted, but before Beckham could grab the ball, he kicked the ball straight from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
Zambrano saw the opportunity and rushed towards the landing point. Facing the terrifying Ivan, Redondo did not retreat.
The two people took off and raised their arms almost at the same time. Redondo took off at a higher height in the air, but Zambrano's shoulder hit his ribs.
This caused Redondo's center of gravity to become unstable and it fell sideways onto the turf.
Unwilling to miss the ball, Redondo, who was lying on the ground, stretched out his leg and tripped Zambrano.
"This time, it shouldn't be."
The referee blew the whistle and showed the yellow card.
Ferguson on the sidelines clenched his fists but still did not curse out loud.
I endured it.
The midfielder turned yellow at the beginning of the game. If you are not careful, there will be one less player in the battle.
You can't be afraid that he will get red and replace Redondo, then Real Madrid will be very happy.
There is no other such a powerful midfielder in Manchester United.
Free kick.
Dejan Lu returned to the half and did not go too deep, still waiting for a counterattack.
What impressed him most about Zambrano was that Real Madrid traded him for Carlos, and also gave Ronaldo the jersey to wear 1+8 on the back, showing that he was still number nine.
Players these days are also very creative.
Laudrup stood at the spot where the foul was committed. Dejan Lu glanced at Raúl and said to Irwin, "Be careful with that kid, he is very good at picking up mistakes."
Irwin nodded immediately.
Dejan Lu must have a reason for saying that.
Beep——
Laudrup chose to attack directly after the run-up, but the ball hit the left side of the crossbar.
Raúl sure enough moved very quickly.
Just rush forward and shoot again.
After being reminded by Dejan Lu, Irwin took precautions and directly stepped sideways to block Raúl, allowing Parister to turn around and clear the ball out of the small penalty area.
Gary·Neville Just got the ball, Zarra South reached out to pull his jersey.
Upon seeing this, Neville quickly took a step forward and made a cross pass when he saw Redondo rushing out of the penalty area.
Enrico went up to press quickly and did not let Redondo pass the ball out immediately.
Dejan Lu chose to retreat, but Redondo made a mistake and squeezed with his body, forcing the ball past Enrico.
After getting rid of his opponent, he didn't rush to pass the ball. He took the ball all the way to the center circle and then sent a through ball.
This kick hit directly behind Chendo. Dejan Lu was more than three meters away from Chendo and started directly in front of the center line.
In an instant, the distance between the two people was less than one meter, causing Merengues people to exclaim.
Such explosive power is still too terrifying.
Some Real Madrid fans couldn't help but remind the meritorious full-back to be careful.
Chendo himself is aware of the danger, but there is no way to improve speed no matter how motivated you are.
He gritted his teeth and ran back, but was overtaken by Dejan Lu near the penalty area.
Knowing that he couldn't get the ball, Chendo simply panicked and fell to the ground with a sliding tackle.
Click——
This time the Real Madrid full-back was rushing to hurt someone.
Dejan Lu was already on guard.
After reaching the ball, he did not choose to take it, but rubbed it sideways.
The ball was tackled by Chendo and hit Dejan Lu's left foot, bouncing towards the Real Madrid penalty area.
Realizing that his teammates were unable to handle the situation, Hierro quickly came over to make up the defense.
Dejan Lu's low pass was hasty and hit Hierro's calf.
The forward Irwin took the ball and lobbed it into the penalty area, but the ball was a little too big. Paco Buyo rushed out of the small penalty area and jumped up to successfully pick the ball off.
"Paco!!!"
A burst of cheers erupted from the away fans' stands.
The terrifying speed of Dejan Lu just now really scared them.
Although Buyo did not solve Dejan Lu, it still made them happy to be out of danger.
19-year-old Raúl stood on the center line, feeling fear in his heart.
As an offensive player, he knows very well how terrifying Dejan Lu's speed is.
Just now he ran out of the penalty area, and before halftime Dejan Lu ran from the backcourt to the Real Madrid penalty area.
Not to mention Real Madrid, very few people in the entire football world can keep up with this speed.
No wonder the coach kept reminding before the game not to give Manchester United a chance.
I would rather foul than let Manchester United rush.
With this kind of speed, I'm afraid it's not always accurate in counterattacks.
"Careful, guys!"
Hierro raised his hand and reminded.
Chendo immediately gave a thumbs up, looking confident.
But he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
After just one encounter, he felt that Dejan Lu was faster than before.
Isn't this damn good player going to practice track and field instead?
Buyo suggested holding the ball for a while before throwing it out to give his teammates some time to breathe.
Although it was just the beginning, the Real Madrid goalkeeper was keenly aware that he was afraid that Manchester United would be forced to play at halftime today.
In this case, it is necessary to control the offensive rhythm.
Even for a few seconds, teammates who are sprinting continuously can recover their physical strength.
Chendo is very cautious with the ball.
Real Madrid's offense slowed down.
The speed of organization is much slower than before.
Obviously Dejan Lu's counterattack speed gave them a big scare.
Shh!
Seeing Real Madrid players passing the ball in half-court, there were bursts of boos at Olimpico Roma.
Such negative tactics are somewhat unworthy of Real Madrid's reputation.
McClair and Beckham pressed forward together, and Calvo quickly passed to Laudrup sideways.
Whether in Barca or Real Madrid, Laudrup is the core of the team.
After getting the ball, start pushing forward.
Keane saw this and wanted to grab him, but Redondo reached out to stop him and rushed towards the center circle.
Laudrup also became serious.
Both of them have very good skills. The important thing is that Redondo understands the thinking of offensive players very well.
It's easy to predict his movements.
Small steps, head-on confrontation.
Laudrup stretched out his right foot and sent the ball forward.
Redondo reacted immediately, moving quickly to the left.
When Laudrup hit the ball with his right foot, Redondo reacted faster than him. He quickly stood up with his left foot and stretched out his foot, stealing the ball directly!
Sombrero flick is disconnected!
Laudrup I really didn't expect it.
This passing move is very difficult to intercept.
Even if you know what I'm going to do, there's nothing you can do about it.
Unexpectedly, Redondo hooked the ball away.
The Danish superstar quickly stretched out his arms to counterattack.
But Redondo didn't give him a chance. He raised his right hand and pushed Laudrup, dribbling the ball past the center line from the side.
"Watch the pass!"
Laudrup turned around and shouted.
As he shouted, Redondo turned sideways, pushed the instep of his right foot, and then sent out a through ball.
This time Dejan Lu starts faster.
The whole person jumped out like a cheetah.
Chendo Even if he was on guard, he was instantly dropped by more than half a meter.
Such a scene makes Merengues people a little desperate.
Too fast!
Red clothes and white socks, striding like stars.
Even if Chendo runs on the inner circle, it can still only catch up from behind.
Dejan Lu dribbled the ball into the penalty area easily and was still close to the baseline.
In this case, Buyo can only move closer and be careful to prevent Dejan Lu from hitting the door at a small angle.
Snap——
In front of the baseline, Dejan Lu hit his left foot while running and sent a low pass.
Chendo ran up and stretched out his feet, but still failed to block it.
The ball quickly flew from the left side of the penalty area to the center.
Hierro tried to block with a sliding shovel but failed, leaving Cantona with no interference on the left side.
The French forward lowered his head and turned sideways, easily heading the ball into the center of the goal.
After scoring the goal, Cantona quickly rushed towards Dejan Lu, jumped directly behind Dejan Lu, raised his arms and shouted at the stands like a madman.
The Champions League final!
When he was suspended before, many people said he was finished.
French media even feels that his career has come to an end.
Many media outlets that don't like him are crazily criticizing him.
At that time Cantona felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
Although Ferguson immediately went to France to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, the overwhelming negative news still made Cantona feel suffocated.
Until Dejan Lu stood up and publicly expressed his support for him.
Look now, he Eric·Cantona scored in the Champions League final!
Boom——
Cantona's crazy expression ignited the enthusiasm of the fans.
They wanted to rush onto the pitch and celebrate with the Manchester United players.
"1:0!"
"Only 7 minutes into the game, Dejan assisted Cantona and successfully took the lead."
"There is no skill in scoring such a goal. It's just Dejan's speed. Dejan's two sprints have left a deep impression on me so far. His speed is so fast."
"Yes, I very much doubt that Dejan can achieve good results even if he doesn't play football and practices track and field. Real Madrid's full-back Chendo has nothing to do with Dejan. If this continues, he will be kicked out today."
If you can't keep up with the speed, everything else is useless.
Just like Chendo just slide shovel Dejan Lu directly.
Italy Those defenders who like to tackle only need to be able to touch the ball.
Once you meet each other, all you have left is your heel. Should you shovel it or not?
If you don't shovel, you can't even touch anyone. If you shovel, it will be red.
There is simply no other option.
If you want to rely on positional sense to steal, you must have the opportunity for a head-on confrontation.
If someone competes with you just for speed, no matter how good your positioning sense and prediction are, it will be in vain because there is no chance to stand face to face.
As a top full-back.
Chendo is naturally aware of this.
But he could only grit his teeth and persist.
None of Real Madrid's young full-backs are too fast.
If you want to defend Dejan Lu, a slight difference in speed will be of no use.
It's better to let him continue playing. At least he has rich experience and has faced Dejan Lu before.
Arsenio stuck out his tongue and licked the bubbles at the corner of his mouth.
In order to restrict Dejan Lu these days, he has done a lot of overtime work and has had insomnia many nights.
A string of blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth.
In the end, it was decided to let the smart midfielder Enrico go one for one.
But it seems difficult to work now.
After all, Enrico can keep up in positional warfare, and it is impossible for Enrico not to participate in the attack when launching an attack. In that case, Real Madrid's offense will not be able to start.
If he goes up to participate in the attack, he won't be able to keep up with Dejan Lu when Manchester United counterattacks.
This is an endless loop.
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
Waving to the field and shouting, "Louis, come here."
"Coach, what are the plans?"
Enrico asked.
"You don't need to participate in the attack, just follow Dejan, no matter where he goes." Arsenio put his arms around Enrico's neck and said, "Even if you can't guard against it, as long as you harass him when he starts, you can even pull the jersey to buy us some time to return to defense."
"Okay, I'll try coaching."
Louis Enrico nodded and said.
In this situation, he didn't dare to speak too fully.
Dejan Lu has such terrifying explosive power, it is not easy to slow down Dejan Lu immediately.
Unless he kept pulling Dejan Lu, it would be difficult to react.
But if I keep pulling Dejan Lu, the referee will not allow it.
Headache!
The moment it starts is so hard to catch.
When he returned to the court, he was still thinking about the coach's arrangements.
Enrico glanced at Míchel and Chendo and couldn't help but shake his head.
Both old guys were in their 30s and were in decline, so they couldn't bring him much help at all.
Real Madrid's lineup does not have a good way to deal with speedy players.
Real Madrid's defense did not encounter too many challenges from those who usually ran fast but had problems with passing or shooting.
He didn't know what to do in this situation, so he could only take one step at a time.
Merenguess haven't defected yet.
But it was not as exciting as the opening stage.
Real Madrid fans have never been low on the team.
Their lineup does have good technical content, but being forced to play does not satisfy Merengues.
Raúl chose to retreat after taking the ball, and Cantona rushed forward and stretched his feet.
Bernabéu the Prince dunked with his left foot to avoid it, turned around and passed the ball to Míchel.
Míchel went over Enrico to find Laudrup and continued to let the Danes be in charge of the organization.
Laudrup just started to push forward, and Redondo started to move.
This time Laudrup learned wisely and chose to go to the side of Dejan Lu.
Enrico is standing nearby. Even if he can't run to catch the ball, he can at least serve as a receiving point.
He passed the ball to Enrico, and Enrico passed it to him again, and they completed the wall-kicking coordination with him.
Keane also chose to grab at this time.
Laudrup quickly gave it to Chendo. Chendo didn't wait for Dejan Lu to come up and passed it with one kick.
The full-back's long pass was very accurate. Míchel picked up the ball in the frontcourt and accelerated, trying to force the ball past Irwin.
But Irwin played very smart, always paying attention to the position, stretched out his arms to firmly restrict the opponent's position, and let the ball roll all the way out of the baseline.
The opportunity that was finally created was wasted, and there was a sigh in the stands.
Roberto Mancini pointed to the court and said, "Their skills are too poor. If I were on the court, I would be at least two goals ahead now. The cooperation between Dejan and I is very good."
Totti said angrily, "Cantona's skills are no worse than yours, they should be better than yours."
"How is it possible? Some fans don't know him. This guy has no reputation. How can he not be famous if he is so awesome? He can't even be selected for the national team!" Roberto Mancini said, squinting his neck.
He only admitted that Baggio and Dejan Lu were stronger than him.
"Tch, you're not that famous."
Totti turned around and patted the child next to him and asked, "Do you know him, young man?"
The child's parents saw that it was Totti and Roberto Mancini, and encouraged the child to answer the question Totti.
The 5 or 6-year-old child bit his thumbnail and stared at Roberto Mancini suspiciously.
Roberto Mancini worked hard to put on the best-looking profile. He had specially practiced it.
The child suddenly shouted excitedly, "I know, you are Uncle Roberto Mancini who sells hamburgers..."
