Ready to tee off again.

Paolo Maldini breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he said he was not convinced, he really had no bottom when it came to kicking Dejan Lu.

Baresi has never fucking won a single time from his peak to now about to retire.

Three Horsemen of Inter Milan at that time was not bad either.

But the Milan duo took turns, but couldn't win a game.

Not to mention winning, there was not even a draw.

Now that I'm on the same team as Dejan Lu, I feel unspeakably relieved.

Viola took the ball again, and Oliveira took the ball with a clear South American style. His whole person exuded a confident laziness. He pulled the ball to the side before passing it back.

Rui Costa is also in no rush.

Portugal is known as the European Brazilian team. In addition to the language, the playing style is also somewhat similar.

His ability to control the ball is quite good, otherwise Ranieri would not dare to play 4312.

Dejan Lu's own pressing strength is average, and this is especially true for Van Basten, an old guy.

But Totti was different, it rushed forward directly.

At this time, Rui Costa returned the pass.

Schwartz and Cois passed the ball back and forth, Dejan Lu grabbed the ball, and Cois passed it to Piacentini on the other side.

Totti rushed forward again.

Young people always have endless energy.

Sacchi looked on from the sidelines and shook his head.

He did not give Totti such a large degree of freedom.

Unable to bear Totti's difficulty, Piacentini passed the ball back, and Amoruso immediately transferred the ball to the other side.

Seeing this, Dejan Lu went up to press for the ball. Schwartz did not dare to wait for the ball to be secured. He simply jumped up and looked for Xi Leo Tuo, but unexpectedly west Leo Tuo stretched his foot and did not stop, giving Milan a frontcourt sideline ball.

This position is very good. You can almost hit the goal with a cross. Fiorentina players attach great importance to this defense.

When Paolo Maldini came up, he found that his teammates in the frontcourt were being stared at hard, so he had no choice but to throw him back to the midfield.

Albertini still wanted to get the ball, but Redondo stretched out his foot to block the ball.

Before he could stand firm and turn around, he kicked straight through.

Everyone in Milan's frontcourt is a key target, and Fiorentina is not divided into priorities. There are only Phil Cano and Schwartz around Dejan Lu. This kick came directly from between the two people.

Seeing Dejan Lu take the ball, Falcone and west Leo subconsciously ran forward, not wanting to give Dejan Lu a chance to stand alone.

Unexpectedly, Dejan Lu not only did not start to rush forward, but stepped on the ball, pulled it back, rubbed his right foot, and sent a pick pass.

Snap——

The ball fell to the right side of the penalty area. Van Basten had a good time to start, but his speed was slower than before. He only got the ball before the baseline. He turned hastily and volleyed from a small angle but was confiscated by Toldo.

"Good pass."

Van Basten said with a thumbs up.

Dejan Lu waved his hand indifferently.

Van Basten can continue to play football, not because Dejan the Football King forced UEFA to change the rules of tackling from behind early, allowing him to escape.

Then there is Diego Maradona.

Because Dejan the Football King quit that thing.

Rebuilding this thing is no small matter for the players.

How about Dejan the Football King suffer some loss and open his arms like Whitebeard and let them become Dejan the Football King's sons?

Toldo threw the ball away not long after he got the ball.

Amoruso immediately kicked the ball towards the midfield with a big kick.

The accuracy of this long pass was good and it reached Rui Costa.

Albertini wanted to press forward, but Portugal's attacking midfielder didn't get the ball. He rushed forward and sent a through ball with his toes.

His through ball was quite beautiful and rolled past Costacurta.

Oliveira starts very quickly.

Costacurta's turning speed has never been fast. Fortunately, Tassotti took the lead and took a position in the penalty area to pursue.

However, his speed was still a little behind, and he fell behind in the first step.

Oliveira wanted to rush into the penalty area, but Tassotti refused to give in. The two were entangled. Tassotti slipped and fell into the penalty area.

Upon seeing this, he immediately jumped forward and suppressed the ball under his body, not giving Oliveira a chance to get the ball.

Beep——

After the referee blew the whistle, Milan's defensive players changed their expressions.

The referee signaled it was a free kick!

"Mr. Referee, this was not intentional."

"Yes, I was careless."

Baresi and Tassotti went up together to explain.

The referee said very firmly, "This is against the rules, it is a free kick in the penalty area!"

Seeing this, Baresi glared at Tassotti.

Of course the defender knows the rules. At this time, he is pressing the ball to prevent the opponent from kicking it, just to see if he can get past it.

If you don't get through, just take a free kick in the penalty area.

There are only a few points that are most likely to lead to a free kick in the penalty area, such as receiving a return pass with the hand, or the goalkeeper taking more than four steps to kick off the ball.

Tassotti This is simply intentional.

Some referees don't often call free kicks in the penalty area and tend to forget.

"You go up and block it."

Baresi said angrily.

Tassotti smiled and nodded and said, "If I didn't press the ball, he would have passed it directly to Argentina, and the result would be the same."

Baresi said nothing.

Of course he also knew that Milan's defender was not bored enough to intentionally foul.

Fouls have an effect.

However, facing Batistuta's free kick in the penalty area, they were still a little weak.

Baresi looked at Dejan Lu who stayed in the half court waiting for a counterattack. If Argentina's kick was injured, he must let Dejan Lu also try to get a free kick in the penalty area to teach Fiorentina a lesson.

Free kicks for powerful players are scary, but they still stand so close to the penalty area.

The human wall can only stand on the goal line to block it. The small penalty area is not far from the goal line.

Many Rossoneri in the stands could not bear to close their eyes.

Batistuta's shots are famously powerful.

It's no joke to get injured if one kick hits you.

The human wall is almost entirely covering the space between the legs.

Dejan Lu couldn't help but feel sad, but fortunately there was no need to go back and be a human wall.

"This free kick in the penalty area was very dangerous. I took a run and the ball went in. Batistuta's free kick was very powerful. He started to imitate Dejan's machine gun celebration again."

"I had forgotten it before. This action was first used by Dejan in Serie A. Batistuta probably started imitating it after watching Dejan's games before."

"Although Fiorentina equalized the score, it is not important. We will score soon. According to Premier League official statistics, every time the opponent equalizes, Dejan only needs an average of 4 minutes and 17 seconds to score the next goal. This is an average. Many times, Dejan will help the team take the lead again after the new kick."

Cruyff said excitedly.

Although it was his first time commentating on Dejan Lu's game on behalf of Milan.

But he knows the data of Dejan Lu very well.

It can be said that he has been waiting for this day.

"There's no way I can pass the ball to you on the right." Totti complained as he walked back.

"It's okay, kick slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Dejan Lu said with a smile.

This goal was a coincidence.

Fiorentina would be surprised if the three defensive midfielders could really beat AC Milan.

He Lu has never been afraid of teams setting up buses.

Re-opening the ball, Van Basten gave to Dejan Lu.

Dejan Lu kicked Baggio sideways.

Now he can somewhat feel that the team does not have enough goals.

Baggio took the ball and didn't rush forward. Oliveira came up and he passed the ball back.

Paolo Maldini also keeps pace with the ball in the backcourt.

Neither Sacchi nor Capello is a coach who likes to play quickly. For a long time in the past, AC Milan's rhythm was not very fast.

Milan players are used to this.

Paolo Maldini slowly moved forward with the ball.

Fiorentina's defensive focus will inevitably move to the left.

Dejan Lu took the initiative to run forward, but signaled Paolo Maldini from behind not to give it to him.

really.

When he moved like this, Schwartz was startled and quickly stood in front of Dejan Lu.

Sandro Cois also came over to help defend.

Paolo Maldini saw this and decisively turned around and kicked the ball diagonally across the half court to the right.

Piacentini also wants to go to the side to block Totti.

But the Little Prince has really developed well in the past two years, and he used his body to force the opponent away when they met.

Baggio, Dejan Lu and Van Basten moved forward together, putting considerable pressure on Fiorentina.

However, the movements of the three men did not all press towards the defense.

Dejan Lu pressed forward, and Van Basten retreated a little.

Totti encountered Amoruso, and he took advantage of the situation and kicked it horizontally.

Van Basten directly sent the ball into the penalty area and completed the kicking against the wall with him.

Baggio saw this and took the initiative to run to the middle to pull the defense line. Dejan Lu took advantage of the lack of defensive attention and retreated a little here.

If he's too far forward, he won't have much of a chance, so he can only take a supplementary shot.

Amoruso chased all the way back, but missed the best opportunity. Seeing that he could not catch up after seeing the bottom line, the full-back fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle, trying to block Totti's cross.

Totti did choose to cross, but it was not a low ball.

The ball flew over Amoruso's legs and quickly flew to the right at the goal line.

Toldo looked in front of him, and the defenders turned around. No one could do anything about the pass that passed in front of the goal. It was too fast and too close, and there was no time to react.

It was only then that Leo discovered the problem.

Dejan Lu, who was standing outside the left pillar, had turned around.

Dejan Lu took two steps back in succession, looking up to observe where the ball would land. Then he put a little force on his right foot and stood up sideways. The center of gravity of his upper body pressed down crazily, causing his left foot to hit the side of the ball.

Bang——

A turning side hook, the power is not very strong, but at such a close distance, Toldo just moved his steps to Dejan Lu's side, and the ball went from his side into the goal.

Before the goal scorer Dejan Lu had time to get up, he was pinned down by the excited Totti.

Baggio and Van Basten did not do this, but came over to help.

Injured players usually don't like to celebrate.

This celebration resulted in some players being injured.

I wasn't injured while playing football, but it's somewhat unreasonable to be injured while celebrating.

"Dejan!"

"Dejan!"

"Dejan!"

San Siro Stadium cheers rang out again.

Rossoneri are as excited as Christmas.

They used to watch Dejan Lu score Milan's goal.

But now the roles are reversed, Dejan Lu scores goals one after another, and there is no need to worry about falling behind, let alone losing. This feeling is really good.

Rivera in the stands couldn't help but smile.

He knew from the beginning that such a day would come.

After Riva asked him to see Dejan Lu for comparison, he knew that Dejan Lu's strength could definitely gain a foothold in Rossoneri.

Too strong!

Stronger than he thought!

Even if he plays the forward position today, Dejan Lu is still very good.

Every movement is quite reasonable and he can always appear in the most suitable position. This is not easy for a player.

Old friend Riva is engaged in politics. Otherwise, after watching Dejan Lu's game today, Riva would probably feel that Dejan Lu is very similar to him.

Italy players are just doing politics.

Seeing Dejan Lu celebrating with his teammates, Rivera was happy and regretful.

Riva, who originally called him to inspect Dejan Lu, was not able to watch the game live.

"Dejan, great job!"

Paolo Maldini shouted with a thumbs up.

"Ballon d'Or Tenth place Paolo, stop losing the ball."

Dejan Lu turned around and shouted.

Paolo Maldini:...

"It's okay, Paul, Paolo, Ballon d'Or, the tenth place is pretty good."

Costacurta shrugged his shoulders and comforted him intermittently.

Paolo Maldini rolled his eyes angrily. This good friend of his was not reliable at all.

It seems that the day when the Milan Knights table will be disbanded is coming.

Baresi smiled and shook his head.

Although he is relatively old-fashioned, he is still happy with the changes in the team.

Paolo Maldini They may not have noticed.

But he obviously noticed that after Dejan Lu came, these young people no longer worried about the team losing.

This is a huge change.

The joining of one person has greatly improved the team's confidence.

"Be careful. Dejan didn't get much of the ball today. You just need to guard Baggio and Totti. It's easier than guarding Dejan."

Ranieri shouted to the field.

Schwartz and Piacentini looked at each other.

The two defensive midfielders are separated on the left and right, directly facing Milan on both sides.

If only it were as simple as Ranieri said.

Baggio Needless to say, Apennines the Prince, who has been famous for a long time, has extraordinary abilities.

Not to mention Schwartz, even Lothar Matthäus wouldn't dare to say that he was anti-death Baggio.

The Piacentini side is a little easier, just a little.

After playing for such a long time, he clearly felt that Totti's skills were very good.

With his body and skills, this kind of player is not very easy to defend.

Viola was in trouble at this time.

The three defensive midfielders put the tactics on the table, but the three of them could not limit AC Milan's passing, which led to tactical failure.

With so much manpower invested on the defensive end, the offensive end will of course be affected.

At this time, Oliveira also put away the expression he had at the beginning, and rarely became serious.

Bati felt a little funny watching the transformation of his partner.

These Brazilians always feel like they are the best in the world, and it doesn't take long for them to be educated.

One very interesting thing about football during this period is that there are often situations where Brazil and Argentina forwards are paired together.

The relationship between the two countries is that of mortal enemies.

Having fought against a sworn enemy on the battlefield is not just a matter of the green field.

However, the players' private relationships have not been affected at all.

Fiorentina, who kicked off again, still used the same routine as before, and again, their tactics were clearly stated.

The Little Prince Totti caused a lot of trouble for Rui Costa.

Although Totti's stealing ability is not strong, after he returns the pass, Redondo will come up to restrict him.

Viola's other ball release points are much weaker.

As soon as he was restricted, Fiorentina's offense immediately stopped.

Similar to Riquelme's later Villarreal, the tactics were completely based around the tenth position.

The ball could not be passed, and Falcone passed it back to Toldo. Toldo drove the ball towards Milan's half with a big kick.

The landing point was near Albertini. Costacurta was worried that he would suffer a loss and rushed up to tip the ball to the right.

Tassotti took the ball and started to rush forward. Gioaccentini quickly went to the side to cover up the defense. Tassotti accelerated and rushed forward and immediately sent a long diagonal pass.

Another large-scale transfer, but the ball landed in front of Dejan Lu.

Phil Kano and west Leo are facing a formidable enemy.

Dejan Lu was too dangerous during the counterattack. The two made up their minds without communicating and rushed to the landing point together without giving Dejan Lu a chance to get the ball.

As the ball fell, the two people took off with the same hand, one after the other, sandwiching Dejan Lu in the middle.

Behind Dejan Lu, Phil Kano pushed forward hard, fearing that Dejan Lu would use his strength to jump too high.

Under such care, Dejan Lu failed to get the ball, and the two of them failed to top it.

The ball bounced off the ground and went out of the baseline.

Baggio said with some regret, "It would be great if you pass the ball to my side. When I play with you, no one will defend me."

"That's really sad, Roberto, think about why it's like this."

Dejan Lu joked.

Baggio rolled his eyes angrily.

He has a very clear understanding of himself. He is indeed one of the best players in Italy, and Dejan Lu is simply the best player in the history of football.

Is there any comparison?

Sacchi is not very satisfied with the progress of the game.

The team's situation was different from what he thought.

The players still pay more attention to passing the ball to Dejan Lu. Not everyone he said is an ordinary player.

Yes, every team has a focus.

But if he keeps playing like this, Milan players keep passing the ball to Dejan Lu, and his style is ruined.

Because of the Donadoni incident, the media made trouble for him.

Just because Dejan Lu is a bigger brand and stronger, we can't double standard it.

The well-known shoemaker-turned-coach had a headache.

He's not a deadbeat either.

But for the sake of his own reputation, he still hopes that the team can fully blossom, so that he can prove the correctness of his tactical theory.

There are not as many fans as he thought.

From the beginning today, Milan fans have been in an extremely excited state.

Now they can finally enjoy football happily.

When they think about the situation of Inter Milan and Juventus fans, they become even happier and look forward to the early arrival of the derby.

"The full-backs should press forward."

Rui Costa said.

Without the help from the wing, he really can't play well.

The tactic of three midfielders and one front midfielder is too extreme.

"We'll figure it out." Xi Leo said.

Originally, their tactics included forward pressing by the full-backs.

But today Milan's wingers put too much pressure on them, and they had no way to press forward. This is the most important point.

When Dejan Lu was running back, he noticed Monica waving in the stands.

This girl must have just finished work.

She is the happiest person about moving to Milan. Monica's focus is Milan, while Paris and London are incidental.

It could be seen that she was in a good mood and kept gesticulating on the court.

The camera lens is frequently shown to Monica.

Monica was not sitting in the box, and she benefited from the attention from nearby fans.

Although this is also the case at Manchester United, the British and Italy people are different after all. The envious female fans nearby are all her compatriots.

Seeing Dejan Lu running on the field, Monica couldn't help but tighten his legs and made another gesture to the field, asking Dejan Lu to finish the game quickly.

Dejan Lu did see it.

But for his first appearance, he had to score a hat trick anyway.

During this period, Fiorentina's offense was very stable, and it was not easy for him to score goals.

Buffon in the stands sighed for a while. This guy Totti had assisted, but he could only be a fan in the stands.

As a wicket-keeper, I can't even get a place on the bench.

Although he is confident in his own ability, if he wants to take the goalkeeper position, it still depends on the timing.

Fortunately, the first and second goalkeepers were injured, so they could directly start the game to show their strength.

When you are unlucky, you will only make one or two appearances a season. Your opponents are not strong and you have little chance to show yourself.

It was better to continue playing midfield.

Buffon I really don't think he is worse than Sebastian Rossi.

If he played as a midfielder, he would be better than Totti.

There was a temporary stalemate between the two sides on the court.

The three defensive midfielders are placed there, which is the iron barrel formation.

Amoruso rushed forward cautiously with the ball, for fear of being intercepted again.

Totti is still running tirelessly. He talks a lot, but his attitude is completely different from when he was in Rome.

If you want to survive in a wealthy family, talent alone is not enough.

Totti rushed forward very quickly, and Amoruso didn't even have time to pass the ball in advance.

He turned around and wanted to get Totti stuck behind him, but found that he couldn't fight against it. In this case, he quickly passed sideways. Piacentini took the ball and quickly passed it diagonally to Schwartz. Schwartz dribbled the ball forward without forgetting to look back.

After confirming that west Leo Tuo came up with him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Baggio was passed directly, and Paolo Maldini came forward.

Schwartz passed the ball back, and west Leo immediately raised his foot to hang into the penalty area, but Redondo stepped sideways to stretch his foot, making him change his mind.

Xi Leo lowered his right foot and turned sideways to try a large-scale transfer again.

Anyway, if the situation cannot be opened along the way, then give it to the other side.

But this time Tassotti went up very quickly, overwhelming Piacentini and heading the ball towards the center.

Redondo was not in his position. Rui Costa grabbed the ball first but was bumped from behind by Albertini. The ball escaped his control. When Oliveira retreated, Redondo rushed towards him.

The Brazilian players did not dare to try to get the ball and simply kicked it back.

Redondo stretched out his foot to block it, and the ball rolled directly to the center.

Seeing Baggio running to catch the ball, Dejan Lu immediately rushed forward from the left.

Baggio, who took the ball, just passed the center line and immediately distributed the ball to the left. Dejan Lu took the ball and exploded, which was a direct one-shot.

Falcone gritted his teeth and ran back, but he didn't expect to catch up.

Dejan Lu slowed down in front of the penalty area, so he put his center of gravity in front of Dejan Lu. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Baggio rushed to the left to respond.

However, Dejan Lu did not pass the ball. He moved his right foot out of the angle and immediately kicked sideways.

Bang——

Toldo didn't react slowly and jumped sideways, but the angle of the kick was a bit tricky and he missed it. The ball almost hit the post and went into the goal.

Boom - "Dejan!"

"Dejan!"

"Dejan!"

San Siro Stadium cheers rang out again.

Dejan Lu did not celebrate, but turned to the sidelines and made a substitution gesture...
