Going to Manchester United?

Raúl really never thought about it.

But Dejan Lu's invitation is different.

This is like Beckenbauer inviting you to play at Bayern. Going to Bayern is not the point, the point is Beckenbauer's invitation!

The Emperor invites you, even if you go to Hamburg to play in the Bundesliga 2, you have to think carefully about it. After all, it is not difficult to copy the Kaizer Miracle after upgrading.

If it were Podolski invitation, it would be fine if Bayern didn't go.

Dejan Lu's question made Raúl a little flattered.

There are too many big names at the forward position.

Even though he is in Real Madrid, he is still just a young man, and not such an outstanding young man.

There are too many forwards in European football who are more famous than him.

His partner Zambrano is a big star.

For a moment Raúl didn't know how to answer.

Hierro noticed what happened next, came over and said, "Don't try to poach my teammates, Real Madrid is no worse than Manchester United."

Raúl quickly lowered his head.

Hierro pulled him out of the passage.

Dejan Lu smiled and shook his head.

Just say it casually, but they still take it seriously.

Why, Real Madrid's youth training can support La Liga, but it can't support Premier League?

They were really domineering in Spain, but they were still a little bit behind at this time. After Galacticos, the youth training started one after another.

There are so many outstanding young people who were not recruited from Spain.

There were no talents in Real Madrid's youth training, but the average strength was very good. After playing for a few years, he became a main player in La Liga, which is similar to a taxi.

It's just that it's easier for Real Madrid to poach people, unlike Chelsea who needs to spend money everywhere.

Sometimes the parents bring their children to the door themselves. This is good publicity and the benefit of the Emperor's Dream.

Manchester United's family fortune is not weak. After more than ten years of turmoil, Hojlund is still childhood dream of Manchester United.

There are many children like this.

They are all the last things left by Ferguson.

As long as there is a coach with good results in the post-Ferguson period, Manchester United's situation will be much better.

If you just throw 200 million to find a good coach and tell Ed Woodward to get out, it won't be so turbulent.

But just like Glazer's ability to play like that is also a skill.

Go out with your teammates.

Listen to the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami.

Dejan Lu feels that if he has played for Manchester United, Manchester United's health bar can be doubled.

Even if the results are not good in the future, there will still be children who yearn for the Manchester United's number 7 jersey and come to Theatre of Dreams.

That's what superstars do.

The team is a symbol, and the stars make this symbol concrete.

After halftime, Rome Olympic Stadium's enthusiasm has not diminished at all, but has intensified.

The exchange kicked off.

After Cantona knocked horizontally, he received the pass from McClair again, followed by a pass back.

He actually doesn't like McClair, an old man.

There is no need to deal with it, but you can always avoid touching his forbidden area. It is a very smart relationship that always maintains a line, but it is not too warm but not too distant.

But on the court, McClair is indeed a good teammate.

Even his competitors think so.

The guy has a clear mind.

He always knows when to steal the show, when to create opportunities for teammates by running and pulling, or when to suppress defenders, and he can always position himself correctly.

This in itself is not easy.

Even he couldn't do it himself.

This makes Cantona feel a lot like Dennis Irwin.

That guy is always the quickest to react to what he should do, but Irwin doesn't like to be in the limelight, not even to reporters.

Thinking about it so much, Cantona mainly has a strong desire to show off and prove the French team wrong.

There was a fierce struggle going on inside him.

Redondo is very stable with the ball in the midfield, and will find the best route when passing forward or backward.

Míchel knew that he couldn't keep up with his speed, and wanted Enrico to press him.

But Enrico didn't dare to leave Dejan Lu's side.

As long as he walks, Redondo will definitely pass the ball to the left.

Both Raúl and Zambrano began to retreat to strengthen the midfield press.

Upon seeing this, Redondo quickly passed the ball directly to Cantona. He ran forward and prepared to run to avoid being intercepted.

But this time Cantona didn't pass the ball back, and rushed directly towards Real Madrid's half with his right foot.

Laudrup failed to stop Cantona.

But then Hierro made a sliding tackle and shoveled the ball behind Cantona.

Laudrup immediately seemed like a different person. Needless to say, the Danish superstar's offensive ability. This time, without waiting for Redondo to grab the ball, he immediately found Míchel with a long pass while running.

Míchel gets the ball, and Irwin presses forward.

He quickly passed the ball back to Chendo. Chendo took the ball and waited for two seconds before passing it diagonally to Irwin, who was running towards the center.

Controlling more than once will create opportunities for teammates to move forward.

Míchel took the ball and lobbed it into the penalty area, but the height was not high enough. Parister easily poked the ball out.

However, the ball fell not far from the penalty area. Laudrup came up and swung his right foot. Schmeichel sided one step too late and the ball went into the goal.

Laudrup was very excited after scoring the goal.

After being suppressed for half the game, he finally scored a goal.

Real Madrid players are also venting wildly.

Raúl celebrated with his teammates, feeling a little embarrassed about the fact that he had just considered going to Manchester United.

Too unsteady.

Now looking at it, there is no difference between Real Madrid and Manchester United, just like Hierro said.

Another goal later would be the tie, and then it would be the game-winner.

The young Raúl·Gonzalez·Blanco has already won the first Champions League in his fantasy life.

"Real Madrid scored a goal not long after the start of the second half. This goal was very important."

"Yes, this goal gave Real Madrid hope of equalizing, and it also greatly improved Real Madrid's morale. The most important thing is that Real Madrid finally found a way to score. Although Real Madrid had been on the offensive in the first half, they failed to knock on Manchester United's goal. I believe that after this goal, they will continue to score goals."

The Merenguess in the stands were more and more excited.

Yes, that's right.

How could the noble Real Madrid lose?

Today we will show the spirit of Real Madrid to the world in this much-anticipated final.

"What are you looking at?"

Cantona looked at McClair angrily and asked.

McClair rolled his eyes fiercely, why is this guy like a dog?

It was obviously you who lost the ball and was hit on a counterattack.

He just glanced over there and Cantona bit him right away.

"Don't worry too much, we will score again later." McClair advised.

It's not good to say anything at this time.

However, Cantona didn't appreciate it and walked back with a snort.

McClair curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.

There are a lot of bad-tempered lunatics in football. If you were angry with them, you would be pissed to death.

As long as you have the strength to lead me to victory, I will happily listen to you even if you don't curse too much. This is his mentality now.

"Damn bastards!"

Schmeichel cursed.

But no one challenged me.

Irwin came close to Dejan Lu and said, "What are you thinking about, Dejan, your teammates are all very energetic, right?"

"It's really energetic, very good."

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

"Peter This guy has such a bad temper."

Irwin shook his head and said.

He rarely said this.

"It's okay, he will be happy if he scores another goal."

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

Irwin glanced at Enrico and knew that Enrico was personally defending Dejan Lu.

He advised, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. The team is not your own responsibility."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Dejan Lu said nonchalantly.

Irwin saw this and returned to his position.

Schmeichel threw the ball into the frontcourt, and Cantona returned the ball to Dejan Lu after the kickoff.

Dejan Lu made a gesture directly to Redondo.

If my teammates have some mentality problems, then just score a goal.

Redondo immediately understood the idea, moved his right foot forward, and made a long pass to the right, and then passed sideways to the left.

Dejan Lu When running, his right foot is drawn inward to form an inside eight, allowing the ball to go directly to the front.

Move your right foot and continue running forward with the ball.

Louis Enrico didn't dare to let Dejan Lu pick up the speed, so he met him with a sliding shovel.

Click——

Dejan Lu saw the right moment, gently moved the ball forward, and took advantage of the trend to move over.

Enrico's sliding shovel had no impact at all.

Just like Dejan Lu dribbling the ball normally.

Enrico, who didn't rush quickly, didn't even get up. He sat on the turf and turned around and shouted, "Foul, don't let him dribble the ball by himself."

Laudrup is chasing back at full speed.

But after crossing the center line, Dejan Lu speed picks up.

Hierro tried to attack together, but Dejan Lu fell behind as soon as they met.

He quickly returned to his defensive zone to prepare for his second defense.

Chendo, who was waiting near the penalty area, continued to force Dejan Lu outside the penalty area, but he was immediately left behind by Dejan Lu.

The old fullback gritted his teeth and ran along.

The two are getting closer and closer to the bottom line, but he is always one step behind.

Chendo knows that this step is fatal.

He almost tried his best.

Snap——

But before the baseline, Dejan Lu still sent a cross.

Chendo wanted to stretch his foot to block it but it was too late, the ball flew directly to the back point.

Rafael Alcorta in front of the goal shook his head and knocked the ball out.

McClair, who rushed forward, slightly adjusted his left foot and shot directly, and the ball flew into the far corner of the goal.

One minute after Real Madrid scored, Manchester United scored again.

Boom——

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan!!!"

"Dejan!!!"

Manchester United fans chanted the name Dejan Lu.

McClair, who scored the goal, also quickly rushed to the left, hugged Dejan Lu's shoulders and wildly raised his arms toward the stands.

Oh shit.

Who said he was going to be purged by Manchester United?

He Brian·McClair can still score goals in the Champions League.

Gold watches are so damn easy to use.

This is a family skill.

When I have a son in the future, I want him to teach him this.

It doesn't matter if you are not strong enough, as long as someone can help you win.

Playing football depends on strength?

Don't be kidding, football depends on having many brothers. Whoever's brother is stronger will win!

There are still about 40 minutes in the game, but McClair feels that Manchester United is only one step away from victory.

"Yeah yeah!!!"

Ferguson pressed Kidd's shoulders with both hands.

Two retired players with a combined age of 100 were as excited as children.

"We're going to celebrate today."

"Yes, Brian."

"Then we must drink a lot today!"

"Yes, Brian."

"How about you pay for the whole team to drink?"

"Yes, Fake Brian..."

Ferguson calmed down immediately and said, "Let Mr. Chairman spend it."

Kidd nodded quickly.

I was so excited that I forgot everything.

This old man not only holds a grudge, but he is also a good saver.

Bobby Charlton was already jumping up in the stands.

Seven Sisters ah!

That's not just numbers.

As a player, he knows very well how difficult it is to achieve such results under the current schedule.

Thinking back to when Manchester United started playing in the Champions League, this was also the biggest difficulty.

The FA's unwillingness to adjust the schedule was the direct cause of the air crash. Otherwise, Manchester United's charter flight would not have been forced to test fly in bad weather.

This gave him a sense of fate and reincarnation.

The FA also did not cooperate and even created difficulties for them.

These kids succeeded.

When he thought of this, the old captain couldn't help but get wet in his eyes.

I wish I could fly back to Manchester right after the game and tell my teammates the good news in front of their graves.

"... Madrid, forward, Madrid!"

The fans didn't give up, and the players naturally had no reason to give up either.

Zambrano kicked the ball to Raúl, and Raúl immediately returned the pass.

Laudrup is still trying to dribble the ball forward by himself. He doesn't dare to push too far forward now.

But find the supporting teammates in advance and tell them directly.

Míchel was guarded on that side, and he immediately passed the ball to Zarra Soth.

Zarra Soos didn't take Gary·Neville seriously. He wanted to cut inside as soon as he buckled with his left foot.

Gary·Neville saw the right moment and stretched out his foot to poke, and the ball went directly behind Zarra Soth.

When Keane got the ball, Míchel pressed forward.

Keane, who did not dare to turn around completely, made a diagonal pass to Dejan Lu.

Whoosh——

Dejan Lu started up directly and instantly left Enrico behind.

Just after crossing the center line, Louis Enrico was no longer visible in the camera.

Even Real Madrid fans felt it was outrageous. This speed was like flying low on the turf.

Dejan Lu dribbles the ball diagonally to the middle.

The Real Madrid players, who were already very concerned about it, focused almost all their defensive attention on Dejan Lu. Both the players on the left and the right relaxed their focus on the players around them.

Seeing this, Dejan Lu directly raised his hand to let his teammates move forward.

Cantona and McClair quickly started a double ghost attack.

Dejan Lu, who continued to dribble the ball to the right, suddenly sent a through ball.

The ball was passed between Hierro and Alcorta into the penalty area. Cantona took the first step to get the ball and his low shot was narrowly blocked by Buyo.

"Manchester United's attacks come one after another. Can Real Madrid still be able to withstand it?"

"Before we speculated that Real Madrid had a chance to equalize, but looking at the current scene, Real Madrid may still concede a goal."

"Yes, if Real Madrid does not want to lose the championship trophy, it must resist this wave of attacks and then fight out, using the opportunity of counterattack to continue scoring goals."

"Dejan's speed is so terrifying, just run away and it's a single strike."

Both teams used a lot of wingers today.

The biggest difference is that Dejan Lu's speed is much stronger than Real Madrid's winger.

This is a very intuitive comparison.

Every time Dejan Lu is activated, it will pass at least Enrico and Chendo, and may even eliminate all defensive players by itself.

But Real Madrid's wings don't have this ability. Sometimes they just hang from the wing into the penalty area. The gap is too big.

He can't pass people, and he can't attract many defensive players.

This makes it difficult for Real Madrid to open up the situation in the middle when attacking.

Even fans can understand that in the previous attack, Dejan Lu rushed up and immediately created an opportunity.

At the signal of Dejan Lu, Beckham stood in the corner flag area.

Even though it was his second time participating in the Champions League final, he still couldn't help but be excited.

He was ridiculed by many people and the media for the last time he dyed red.

So today his tactics were executed very well and he didn't have many ideas of his own. Now that it's the part he's best at, Beckham still wants to give it a try.

What if you make a meritorious service?

Don't ask for too much, just one more assist.

I carefully observed the situation in the restricted area.

Beckham wants to try to pass from the top of the arc, but Dejan Lu has a strong ability to enter from behind.

However, Real Madrid seemed to be on guard against this and specially arranged Zarra Soth at the top of the arc.

"Hurry up and tee off, don't waste time!"

Beckham is still thinking, but the Real Madrid players are getting impatient.

Under the referee's reminder, he could only kick the ball out after a run-up.

Middle!

The ball was not passed much. McClair successfully hit the ball with a swing of his head, but was knocked out by Calvo who was standing near the post and took off.

Another corner kick.

Beckham ran directly to the corner flag area on the right.

The corner kick also had to be moved.

He suddenly discovered a problem.

There are fewer teammates questioning him now.

In addition to ability, of course there are reasons for Dejan Lu.

It seems that his father is right. It is good to hang out with Dejan Lu more often.

This time, the teammates didn't go into the penalty area much, probably because they were afraid of being hit back.

Beckham is a little unconvinced.

This is not believing him.

After his run-up, he kicked the ball toward the center. Although Cantona successfully hit the ball, the ball flew to the left side of the penalty area.

Real Madrid players are still turning around.

Hierro's eyelids twitched immediately, and he saw a red figure coming up.

Dejan Lu!

Dejan Lu stretched out his left foot, unloaded the ball in front, took a step forward and pulled it sideways.

Bang——

There are also advantages to having fewer people in the penalty area. There is a clear space in front of the goal, and there are no obstacles at all. Paco Buyo's position is slightly forward. When he dived sideways, he was already a step slower, and the ball flew quickly from under him into the goal.

"Dejan!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Dejan Goal!!!!!!!!"

"4:1!!!!!!!!"

"Dejan helped Manchester United secure the championship!"

"Dejan first dribbled the ball and sent a fatal pass, creating an opportunity for Cantona, which led to the subsequent corner kick. During this attack, he received a header from Cantona and successfully scored a goal."

"Dejan's breakthrough on the left today is unmatched. How dare other players have their own nicknames in this area? No matter who is on the left, they will only feel ashamed when they see Dejan's performance. In the history of football, Dejan is the best left winger, bar none!" "Beckham should be lucky that he is a right-sided player!"

Another one.

Many Manchester United fans in the stands have already begun to celebrate the championship in advance.

Holding high the poster of Dejan Lu and the trophy they made.

Eagerly looking forward to the birth of Seven Sisters.

Galliani sat in the stands, his eyes full of heat.

Because of Dejan Lu, he was able to reach this point.

It would be even better if there is a chance to bring Dejan Lu to San Siro.

Acquiring a team is not the purpose, it is just a means to make money.

He feels that even if the Italy economy is not very good, the brand value of AC Milan has not been fully developed.

As long as it is developed, he can make a lot of money.

As for turning around and investing?

Seeing Berlusconi's operation made him want to laugh.

Take a look at Manchester United. After the introduction of Dejan Lu, there were basically no signings.

This is the most important part.

He even suspected that Manchester United should have made money in last summer window.

When a football club can reach this point, it is really great.

Stay competitive and you can even make money during the transfer window. You will definitely not lose money by playing football this way.

"Be careful, guys."

Hierro continued to remind loudly.

Manchester United's attack speed is too fast, and if you lose concentration, you will be broken.

Chendo is too lazy to explain at this time.

I can't guard against it, I really can't guard against it.

Enrico also kept shaking his head in place.

He did everything he could do today.

But the idea of redeeming Dejan Lu one-on-one should have failed.

The versatile player looked to the sidelines, hoping the manager could do something.

If they don't adjust, Real Madrid has no chance at all.

Arsenio grinned and told the players to get up and warm up.

The Real Madrid coach is prepared for the worst.

He is Valdano who takes over during the season. From this point of view, he does not seem to have another season.

Don't think that Sanz will go easy on him if he leads the team to the finals.

That bitch looks more like the boss of a mafia family than the president of a club.

Hey, you may not even be able to get liquidated damages.

At this time, there is only a substitution and a struggle.

Just when he was considering who to replace, Manchester United successfully counterattacked.

Another attack from the left.

Dejan Lu After a Sombrero flick passed Enrico, he directly knocked the ball out for more than ten meters. Chendo used his speed to force a cut inside and then hit the goal. Buyo had no way at all from the near point.

Or Calvo rushed back to the goal line and blocked the ball out of the baseline with a sliding tackle.

"Substitutions have been made, Amavisca replaced Luis Enrico, Manolo·Sanchis replaced Alcorta, Real Madrid used up two substitutions in one go."

"Yes, this should be to strengthen defense, but we still need to see the effect."

Dejan Lu feels that this substitution is not very rational.

Solskjaer especially likes to make substitutions before corner kicks, and then lose the ball at corner kicks.

This thing is not a superstition, but as soon as it is interrupted, the defensive players immediately breathe a sigh of relief.

Less focused.

That's why it's easy to lose the ball when substituting before the opponent takes a corner kick.

Offensive players will indeed be affected, but they will not lose the ball if they are affected. They are the offensive side.

This is not a good practice for a coach.

Dejan Lu simply stood in the middle, waiting for an opportunity.

This time the penalty area was crowded with players from both sides, squeezing into each other like sardines in a can.

He stood in the middle, where Real Madrid also focused its defense.

The front door is a key area.

Hierro stood directly behind Dejan Lu, and in front of Dejan Lu was Míchel.

Beckham took a look and decided to find Dejan Lu.

Beep——

After a run-up, he drove the ball towards the center of the penalty area. Just as Dejan Lu was about to take off, he spotted Buyo rushing out from the corner of his eye.

The Real Madrid goalkeeper jumped up and hit the ball outside the penalty area with both fists.

Being able to use your hands is a huge advantage, it doesn't matter how good you jump.

But the next second, the hearts of Real Madrid fans rose.

Cantona at the top of the arc easily took the ball, took a step back and immediately pulled it sideways. The ball flew cleanly into the right side of the goal without touching any player on either side.

5:1!

After scoring the goal, Cantona opened his arms and looked around Rome Olympic Stadium.

Scored twice!

If the French national team does not bring it, it will be a loss for the French team.

"It's over, there are still 20 minutes left, but 5:1 Real Madrid has no possibility of reversal."

"Yes, Real Madrid was killed early today. Cantona, Beckham, and McClair contributed a wonderful ensemble, making this game the most gorgeous movement of the summer. Dejan was the conductor of the orchestra and pointed the direction for the entire orchestra."

"Unprecedented Seven Sisters, Manchester United still has 20 minutes to set an unprecedented record that will be difficult to surpass in the future. No team will win so many championships in a single season, even if it is Premier League's team, even if there may be more cup competitions in the future, such a miracle will not be replicated again."

"Yes, Ferguson and his disciples have created a new dynasty. Of course, the most important thing is that he decided to sign Dejan, who is still recovering from injury."

"Brian·Kidd, this assistant coach is also the child of Busby, and the United Trinity is still sitting in the stands. The children of Busby should be very happy to witness the birth of another dynasty of the team!"

Celebrate wildly.

Manchester United players are celebrating.

The substitutes rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly.

This game doesn't look like it's over yet, but it's no different than it is.

Even the Real Madrid players didn't think there was any problem.

If you ask them what they think, they just want to finish early and go back to the locker room to rest.

Playing a final that you are destined to lose is quite torture.

Sanchis As the old captain of Real Madrid, he played in this situation and didn't even know what he should do.

Four goals behind, no matter what he said, the team could not change the situation.

The veteran even complained to the head coach why he was replaced under such circumstances when he was not fully recovered from his injury.

Raúl looked at the excited Manchester United players with a blank expression.

Everyone is doubting life.

At halftime, I felt that Real Madrid and Manchester United were almost the same.

But judging from the score, that's not the case.

This game was not without any gains. At least I competed with Dejan Lu and truly experienced what it means to be powerful.

Looking at Dejan Lu surrounded by his teammates, he couldn't figure out how to win against him.

He has always felt that he was lucky to still get the favor of Real Madrid even though Atletico Madrid's youth training was disbanded.

But looking at it now, Real Madrid seems to be nothing special.

The Prince of Bernabéu, who was about to celebrate his 19th birthday in the finals, tasted the most bitter defeat in his life...
