Totti finally made up his mind.
Then Milan may not change players for a long time in the future.
Italy players have a really long career.
Just this season, former teammate Verchowod 38 is still in Milan, Baresi is also 37, Filippo·Galli 34, the three defenders combined are more than 100 years old.
Then there are two younger brothers who look young and can play until they are in their 40s.
20 years later it will still be Totti plus Buffon.
It's interesting to think about.
However, this matter still needs to be communicated with Galliani.
Although the Little Prince is illiterate, his performance on the court is not bad.
Even if the player wants to leave, Roma will not let him go easily.
A final, after all, added a new romance to the summer.
Regardless of whether you like the Germans or not, it seems extremely tragic for the Germans to win the cup this time.
It perfectly explains what football is and why Lineker said that sentence.
Such finals will make a group of young people yearn for football. The competition in the 1990s is the biggest fairy tale. The competition system and various reforms, plus accidents, make every competition worth mentioning.
Dejan Lu returned to Manchester.
At least the fans should be given an explanation.
You can't just run away like a thief.
Dejan the Football King earns a high salary at Manchester United and is worthy of his salary.
It is the truth to get together and disperse easily.
July 1st, Old Trafford Stadium.
It was only one day before that thrilling final.
But Theatre of Dreams was full of fans again.
The appearance of new aid Desailly did not cause much sensation.
Desailly himself knows that he is not the protagonist today, and he doesn't pay much attention when he plays the ball.
Ferguson, Redondo and Dejan Lu stood together in the aisle.
Scotland The old man was able to pick it up and put it down, and said with a smile, "I will stick with it for a few years, and maybe you can come back and take over when you retire."
"It's too early for you to retire."
Dejan Lu smiled.
Ferguson It took a long time to think about retirement for the first time.
Not to mention actually retiring.
The main thing is that I still can't let go.
To revive a wealthy family from scratch, this is real FM.
If his body hadn't been able to handle it any longer and he was getting older, I guess he could have continued coaching. Klopp and Guato would be there after the professor left.
Some people are born to fight.
Premier League If there weren't these challengers, he wouldn't have that much desire to continue coaching.
Desailly's appearance is over.
DJ Theatre of Dreams shouted passionately, "Next, we invite our No. 7 Dejan~!!!"
"Go ahead."
Ferguson smiled and patted Dejan Lu's arm.
Dejan Lu walked directly to the players' tunnel.
Boom——
As Dejan Lu walked out of the tunnel, Theatre of Dreams burst into loud cheers.
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
Fans didn't criticize him for leaving the team.
Dejan Lu waved his hand and took the microphone from Martin Edwards.
After the scene became a little quieter, he said, "The weather and food in the UK are a bit bad, but at Manchester, you have changed everything with your enthusiasm. In the past two seasons, I am very happy to wear the Manchester United jersey and win countless honors with the team..."
Theatre of Dreams huge cheers sounded again.
Dejan Lu has to pause for a moment.
The fans were so enthusiastic that Dejan Lu had no choice but to press his hand and continue, "Old Trafford is called Theatre of Dreams because you can really realize your dreams here. For some reasons, I want to leave, but I will always remember this time."
After saying that, Dejan Lu looked at Redondo who was walking out of the aisle, smiled and handed over the microphone.
The good brother said more.
This is what sensitive and delicate people are like.
Even Theatre of Dreams shed tears.
Dejan Lu I don't think there is any problem.
After Redondo finished speaking, the two left for the airport together.
We boarded a chartered flight directly to Milan.
same day.
The difference between morning and afternoon.
It was only around 2 p. m. when the two arrived in Milan.
As soon as I walked out of the terminal, I was surrounded by fans.
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
Redondo sighed, "One end is another beginning, isn't it?"
"Of course, but we still have to hurry up."
Dejan Lu has seen Milan's top brass.
They obviously didn't expect so many fans to be present. Even after greeting the city hall, they still couldn't resolve the fans' enthusiasm.
After about 30 minutes, the order at the scene improved slightly.
Dejan Lu and Redondo got into the Milan club car together.
Galliani also didn't expect that two people would sit in the back seat together, so he specially arranged two cars.
But in this case, he also sat in the passenger seat and said, "The fans can't wait for a long time. Fans showed up at San Siro early this morning."
"Thank you so much for their hard work."
Dejan Lu said.
"It's not hard work and the fans are happy to do it."
Galliani said with a smile, "I heard that Fernando had to come to Milan to get his hair cut before, but now it's a lot more convenient."
Redondo nodded and said nothing.
Chatted with Galliani all the way.
There are also many posters related to them on the streets.
Finally arrived at San Siro Stadium at around 3pm.
The live broadcast truck of the TV station followed closely, and the big screen of San Siro was also broadcasting progress. As the two people got out of the car and even entered the stadium, bursts of cheers arose.
But it's still early for the meet-and-greet.
The two of them made some brief preparations and arrived at the press conference together.
Dejan Lu and Redondo both signed the contract and exchanged contracts with Galliani.
This is a process. In fact, the contract has been signed long ago.
Then he raised the Milan jersey.
Click, click——
The shutter sounds are continuous.
"Dejan, why did you come to Milan?"
"Do you think you and Baggio will have a tacit understanding, Dejan?"
"Did you leave England because of the Princess, Dejan?"
"Who is your favorite player in the Milan team, Dejan?"
"Fernando, the British think you like men, what do you say?"
"..."
Reporters immediately started asking questions.
Dejan Lu nodded and glanced at the watch and said, "I can only answer a few questions and cannot delay the debut ceremony. I chose Milan because Milan is very sincere. I believe you will not refuse the annual salary of 9.5 million US dollars. The player's career is not long, so I am not shy about pursuing high salary. Salary is not my most important aspect, but it is also a very important aspect. As for Milan, my favorite player is Paolo·Paolo Maldini, and he is Ballon d'Or's tenth place!"
There was a burst of laughter.
Back!
I started teasing Paolo Maldini about being ranked tenth in the Golden Ball again.
"Where are Baggio and Van Basten? It is said that Van Basten stayed because of you. Who do you think you have a better understanding with?"
the reporter asked.
"I can actually play with many players. Roberto and I both like to get the ball more, but I don't think it's a problem. After all, the ball should be given to more powerful players. I believe Roberto is also willing to give the ball to me."
Dejan Lu joked.
Even in person, he dared to say that he was better than Baggio.
Journalists have little doubt about this.
A British reporter raised his hand and asked, "Will Dejan, the Princess live in Milan for a long time?"
Dejan Lu said, "I can tell you this in advance, yes, but she bought a house in Milan very early. Milan is a historical city and a fashion capital. The nearby natural scenery is also good. I believe many people are willing to settle here."
"What do you have to say about the just-concluded European Championship final Dejan?"
the reporter asked.
"Last question." Dejan Lu raised a finger and said, "I guessed that the Germans would win, but I didn't expect the way they won. The German team's performance deserves respect."
After speaking, Dejan Lu pushed the microphone to the front.
Redondo pulled the microphone and said directly, "I will only answer this question. I like women. I have answered it, thank you."
After saying that Redondo stood up directly.
Good brothers have such great personalities.
Dejan Lu stood up and walked to the locker room to change equipment.
The two of them finished changing their equipment together before walking into the passage.
Galliani is already standing in the middle of the court.
Wearing a black suit, Galliani is in high spirits.
He took the microphone and said, "Many people said that I missed signing Dejan, and I made a huge mistake. I don't deny that it was a mistake to fail to sign Dejan, but at the time, I believe no one could have imagined that Dejan would perform like that in the first season of the First Division. However, it doesn't matter anymore, because I made up for my previous mistakes and successfully signed Dejan!!!"
Boom——
San Siro bursts of cheers sounded.
Rossoneris are so excited.
Only they, who have steadily lost to Sampdoria more than twice every season, know what this signing actually represents.
$70 million is indeed an exaggeration.
But the performance of Dejan Lu is worth the price.
Some fans even feel that the transfer fee is very cheap, compared with the performance of Dejan Lu.
Next, they can steadily teach Juventus and Inter Milan some lessons.
In the stands, Paolo·Paolo Maldini sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this."
Baresi slapped him hard on the back and said, "You kid, stop pretending. I heard Adriana say that you saw the newspaper signed by Dejan jumping around in the restaurant at home for half an hour."
Paolo Maldini:...
A tea party between ladies is not very friendly to him.
Is it okay to tell other teammates' wives casually about this kind of thing?
"You haven't defeated Dejan either, Captain."
Paolo Maldini said.
"But I'm not as embarrassed as I acted." Franco·Baresi said.
Paolo·Paolo Maldini rolled his eyes fiercely.
How could he know whether this kind of thing was true or not? After all, he didn't install surveillance cameras in Baresi's home.
Dejan Lu and Redondo entered the court together.
Seeing Dejan Lu wearing Milan's No. 7 jersey, Paolo Maldini breathed a sigh of relief.
If possible, he believed that no one would want to be Dejan Lu's opponent, including him of course.
The two of them didn't do anything fancy when they entered the court and bumped the ball.
It was just two people together, so we played together for a while.
A few minutes later, Redondo failed to catch the ball, and the brief bumping of the ball ended.
Dejan Lu motioned to Redondo to speak first.
Redondo took the microphone and said, "I play in Argentina and I really like AC Milan. This is a strong and historical team. It is a great honor to play here."
It was over in just a few sentences.
But Rossoneri people are very considerate.
"Fernando!"
"Fernando!"
"Fernando!"
Shouting his name.
Although Redondo's shine was completely overshadowed by Dejan Lu, Dejan Lu dominated the transfer reports.
However, the level of Redondo is there, and Milan fans are very happy to introduce such a high-level player.
Even the fans can't see the role of Redondo.
Explanations from various countries are also constantly emphasizing this.
What's more important is that Redondo is not just a metronome, he often goes forward to provide assists.
This is a very intuitive performance.
There is no team in the world that doesn't want a player like this.
Dejan Lu simply copied Redondo's words completely.
Many fans laughed.
But there was even more fervent cheering.
This is Dejan Lu!
Dejan Lu and Redondo signed a few more ball autographs and kicked them into the stands to end the debut ceremony.
They haven't bought a house yet. Milan Club wanted to arrange a hotel for them but was rejected.
The house at Genoa is not far from Milan, so you can just go back and live there.
The hotel was a little uncomfortable after all.
It has been unoccupied for a long time, and a lot of dust has fallen on the house.
You will need to hire a cleaning company later.
However, Dejan Lu did a simple cleaning before ordering takeout.
There were many reports about their appearance on television.
The debut ceremony is not important, what is important is the subsequent pattern of Serie A.
Their return to Apennines together will inevitably affect the hegemony of other teams.
The next day.
Italy The media reported overwhelmingly.
"La Gazzetta dello Sport" published an exclusive interview with Cruyff. The die-hard Milan commentator said excitedly, "Oh my god, this is simply the best gift I have ever received in my life, just like a dream. Even a dream, this can be regarded as the most beautiful dream. Because I missed Milan because of Dejan, there will be no intersection, and I can only watch Dejan won against Milan in different teams. I didn't expect Dejan to actually come to Milan! Is it expensive? I don't think the transfer fee of Dejan is expensive. The influence of Dejan goes beyond the stadium. The same is true for Dejan's strength and technology. I can already conclude that this is the best signing in Milan's century-old history!"
"Gazzetta dello Sport" wrote, "AC Milan became interested in Francesco·Totti, which should have originated from Dejan, we have received news from insiders that Roma and AC Milan are negotiating on the transfer of Totti. It is very interesting that this young man who likes to be interviewed refused to comment on this. From this we can see that Totti really wants to go to Milan.""Tuttosport": "AC Milan introduced Dejan in a very exaggerated way, which is not good for football. It is hard to imagine that the player will be worth tens of millions of dollars in the future. This is a very exaggerated matter. This transfer fee can even buy a good Serie A team."
No pitch is a flaw.
The selling prices of Serie A teams are generally not high.
This was also true when Serie A was at its most prosperous.
The Sensi family didn't spend much money when they bought Rome.
This is still a strong team in a big city.
This is too fatal for Serie A. Even with the conditions of Premier League, not having its own home court is a considerable restriction for Serie A teams.
Looking at football, only Italy is like this.
The teams in the Portuguese Super League Eredivisie all have their own stadiums.
After getting up, Dejan Lu became the busiest person. He received many calls from people.
"Dejan, Ballon d'Or, can't we just talk about the tenth place?" Paolo Maldini on the other side of the phone said helplessly.
"Don't I want to express my recognition of your strength, Paolo, this is Ballon d'Or's tenth!"
Dejan Lu said exaggeratedly.
Paolo Maldini begged, "The newspapers are laughing at me again. Please change someone else next time."
"But I am not familiar with others, and we are friends. This is my way of expressing friendship." Dejan Lu said.
"Then can you try another way?"
Dejan Lu asked, "Do you want to sit at the door of Monica's Hamburgers?"
"Forget it, tenth in the Golden Ball is tenth in the Golden Ball."
Paolo Maldini smiled and hung up the phone.
Compared to Roberto Mancini, his situation is still not that difficult to accept.
Galliani moves very quickly.
July 4th.
AC Milan held a press conference. Galliani said to reporters, "After unremitting negotiations, we signed Francesco for US$8 million plus George·Weah. ·Totti. Francesco is the most talented player of Apennines. We hope that the team can be based on the local area and have more Italy players in the starting lineup."
It sounds like you have a strong sense of social responsibility.
A few days later, the Princess and Monica came to Milan and finally finalized the house.
This time I bought a larger house than the previous ones in Genoa and Cheshire. It covers an area of 7,000 square meters and has a construction area of 800 square meters. It has a private tennis court, swimming pool and miniature golf course.
Large golf courses are usually dozens of hectares, much larger than this.
Villas of this size are rare in Milan.
Usually it is in a place like Sardinia.
Monica and the Princess are very satisfied with their new home and are planning to hold a housewarming party when Sachiko comes to Milan after his trip.
This time Redondo does not live nearby.
He chose to buy a high-end apartment in the center of Milan.
After all, Dejan Lu's new home is not far from their villa in Genoa, and it can be reached in a short drive.
Redondo feels there is no need to buy another set.
But Dejan Lu thinks that's why he prefers to live in the center of Milan.
Dejan the Football King's purchase of a house was also in the newspapers.
It's just "The Sun".
This incident makes Milan fans very excited. At least it shows that Dejan Lu is prepared to stay in Milan for a long time.
In mid-July, AC Milan resumed training.
However, not all players will return to the team. Players who participate in European Championship in the summer will have an extra week of vacation.
The same is true for Dejan Lu and Redondo.
Although the two did not play in the European Championship, Manchester United's schedule was too intensive. The Champions League final caused them to have a holiday nearly two weeks later than the Serie A players.
Even if it is extended by a week, there is still not much left.
Dejan Lu simply took his girlfriends to Cagliari's Poyeto Beach for vacation.
This is the most famous beach in Cagliari. The water is very clear and attracts many tourists from all over the world every summer.
Monica was lying under a parasol wearing sunglasses and attracted a lot of attention.
It was difficult for the bikini to accommodate the pair who had been exploited to the limit by Dejan the Football King in the cafeteria, and they were almost squeezed out.
"You should wear a one-piece bathing suit."
Dejan Lu said angrily.
"I'll be more careful next time."
Monica said with a smile.
The Princess, who was sitting on the beach chair, looked down and glared at Monica.
Monica immediately made a face at her, which made the Princess even more angry. Her figure could only be considered average.
Some fans recognized Dejan Lu and wanted to strike up a conversation, but unfortunately there were two girls with him.
"Fernando is really surprised that he didn't follow."
Monica said, changing the topic.
"He has been busy writing his autobiography recently." Dejan Lu said.
"Writing your autobiography so early?"
Monica asked.
Redondo has only been in Europe for a few years.
Usually players who are in their late 30s or at the end of their careers think about publishing an autobiography.
"He wants to write it by himself, so I don't think it's a problem if he starts early." Dejan Lu said with a smile.
"I didn't expect him to have such an idea."
Monica exclaimed.
Although I have always felt that Redondo is different from ordinary players, I still feel surprised every time.
Redondo does things that are difficult for her to understand.
"I think it's good too, at least I wrote it myself."
The Princess said, "You don't have to worry about reporters misinterpreting what you write."
"That's right."
Dejan Lu said, "This is what Fernando means. He hopes that his autobiography can express his true self."
"Then what's the name of his autobiography?"
Monica asked.
"I don't know, but I think "Mein Kampf" is very good."
Dejan Lu said.
Monica slapped him angrily.
Several people had a great time playing Cagliari.
It's a pity that there are reporters following us all the time, so we can't find a place with less people to do something exciting.
Otherwise, it will be in the newspapers immediately because of the field battle.
Even so, the three of them had a great time in the hotel.
Monica simply ran away because he had a job.
The Princess, who was left behind, could only hang up his no-war card and complained in his heart that the woman was unloyal.
On July 20, it was finally the day to return to the team.
Dejan Lu did not ride a motorcycle, but drove a Mercedes to Milanello.
Fans were waiting at the entrance of the training base early.
When I saw Dejan Lu's car, I said hello like crazy.
Dejan Lu parked the car very cooperatively, lowered the window and looked at the time and said, "I have 10 minutes. I can sign but I won't answer questions."
The fans cooperated and handed over autograph books.
"To whom?"
Dejan Lu asked.
"Francesco·Poly." A fan said excitedly.
"Okay, I wish Francesco·Polly always healthy and happy, your Dejan."
Dejan Lu took another book after signing.
"Angela!"
The female fan said excitedly.
"Bless Angela to always be beautiful."
Dejan Lu signed and handed it over. Unexpectedly, the female fan leaned over and kissed him on the face.
Dejan Lu, who couldn't bear it, quickly smiled and waved his hand and started the car.
If this continues, Dejan the Football King's face will be covered with lipstick marks.
I'm afraid it's not good to be like this on the first day at the team.
He followed the signs and parked the car in the parking lot, and saw Paolo Maldini also getting out of the car.
Dejan Lu smiled and greeted, "Isn't this Ballon d'Or the tenth Paolo..."
