In this Champions League, Dejan Lu 3 passed and shot successfully and won Porto 3:1.
I didn't expect to face my old club in the second round of the league, and I didn't expect to draw Deco again.
This is the first time he has drawn the same card in two consecutive games.
Deco is really good.
When he was playing football in Portugal, he was evaluated by the Portugal media as having a simple face like a farmer in the suburbs of Lisbon.
His face does look honest, but he is a big cheater.
After going to London to play football, he just hung out with his teammates all day long.
So it really makes sense that people should not be judged by their appearance.
This makes a lot of sense when you consider that he was originally Brazilian.
The Brazilian-born and naturalized players Portugal all have similar characteristics.
More European than the average Brazilian player, this type of player lacks some spirituality and is not the type sought after by Brazilian fans.
Neither Deco nor Diego Costa received much attention from the Brazilian team in the early days. The naturalization of Deco did not even cause any commotion. Costa was short of forwards in the Brazilian team at that time, and finally had some reaction.
There is so much talent that Brazil simply doesn't care.
Their bloodline is also mixed, and there are naturalized players all over the world.
Isn't this the case with Milan star Altafini, who was squeezed out by Pelé in the early days.
Later, some national teams learned the wisdom. Regardless of whether your potential can be developed or not, as long as you have a foreign origin, they will find opportunities to recruit you to play in international friendly matches. After one game, you cannot change the national team.
This move is quite deceiving, especially for some weak players.
If I choose you one more time, I must have feelings for you. After one time, I will never get a call again and say goodbye to the competition.
So players are becoming more and more realistic, and this is all mutual.
Those multi-national players are becoming more and more calm when choosing the national team. Is it because they are afraid that the national team's youth training will be too strong and there will be no place for them, and they will never bid farewell to the competition.
[Deco] Playing on the wing is not a problem.
Cruyff comments Deco can do everything, that's about it.
He can do everything Xavi and Iniesta can do, and he defends very fiercely.
Individually he may not be as good as Ha Bai, but overall he is more comprehensive than both of them. As a midfielder, Deco has no major shortcomings except for his body.
If you use [Deco] to play on the wing, it must be a midfielder.
It's time to try out the difference between playing midfield with [Deco].
Dejan Lu followed his teammates out of the tunnel to warm up.
Ferraris Stadium immediately burst into loud cheers.
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
Dejan Lu smiled and waved to the stands. There was no conflict between him and the fans of his old club.
Mainly little Mantovani.
It seems that fans still miss Dejan the Football King very much.
In the coaching bench, Dejan Lu saw Eriksson.
He was also the only foreign coach in Serie A at the time.
Dejan Lu has little impression of his coaching ability. I mainly remember that he was pretended to be wearing a white turban by a reporter from "Mundo Deportivo". It was a big fuss at that time.
It also allowed the world to see that Fleet Street has no bottom line.
Even offices, hotels and luxury cars are prepared for the news.
"After Roberto Mancini transferred and left Sampdoria, Montella became the main force of Sampdoria. This young forward is still very good."
"Today Dejan also faces his old club again. I don't know what kind of performance he will show."
During the warm-up, Dejan Lu only saw Mannini, an old teammate.
The original Sampdoria was already in pieces.
Verón kept looking here, and Dejan Lu smiled at him.
These skilled players all want to find some presence in Dejan the Football King. Is Dejan the Football King so easy to bully?
"Let's go back and prepare to appear."
Baresi shouted.
Dejan Lu followed and returned to the passage.
"The game is finally about to begin, and this is also a focus battle."
"Sampdoria's performance fluctuated after Dejan left the team, but he is still at the forefront of the league. It can be said that his background cannot be underestimated."
"But facing the former King of Genoa, Sampdoria should have little chance. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."
Sampdoria 433 single midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Ferron,
Defenders: Alberigo Evani, Omar Dhiene, Mannini, David·Valeri,
Midfielder: Verón, Karembeu, Pierre Legler,
Forwards: Zanetti, Montella, Ikepeano.
AC Milan 433 double back waist:
Goalkeeper: Rossi,
Defender: Paolo Maldini, Baresi, Filippo·Galli, Panucci,
Midfielder: Redondo, Totti, Ambrogini,
Forwards: Dejan Lu, Van Basten, Baggio.
"Sacchi rarely used 433, but I think this formation is still relatively good, which can unleash the offensive capabilities of Milan players to the greatest extent. Except for Baggio, other players can appear in their favorite positions, and Baggio does not have to worry about conflicts between him and Dejan when holding the ball on the right."
"Evani is also facing his old club today. The left back who has played for AC Milan for 13 seasons must be in a very complicated mood now."
Although Samp's lineup has changed drastically.
But many players are old faces.
The number of foreign players is limited there. Italy players are basically circulating in the country, so this is normal. Except for Mannini, all of Samp's defense lines were Dejan the Football King's opponents when they were in Serie A. There are quite a few new faces in the midfield and frontcourt.
Zanetti's name is similar in pronunciation and position to Zanetti. In the past, when he was watching football, he remembered that one of them was from Italy and the other was from Argentina.
The referee is no stranger either.
At 7:30 in the evening, the referee Fo Lorenzo Treosi blew the whistle to start the game.
Van Basten kicked the ball and hit it horizontally, Dejan Lu turned and passed back to Redondo.
Today Totti returned to position 10, but I don't know if he can adapt.
Redondo doesn't like passing the ball to this position.
Van Basten It's easy to say, he is older, and he is not a player who particularly likes to hold the ball for long distances.
However, the three people behind Van Basten all need the ball.
Dejan Lu even felt a bit wasteful. He, Totti and Baggio stood together.
Eriksson's team is not very aggressive in pressing.
Redondo takes the ball easily.
Ambrogini was a little at a loss and could only keep distance from him and try to take advantage of the width of the field.
Montella was very fast. He and his teammates rushed forward to press for the ball, but Redondo knocked the ball across to the right.
Ambrogini didn't dare to take the ball too much and quickly gave it to Panucci who was penetrating forward.
Panucci didn't even hesitate and sent a pass directly with his right foot.
The ball was given to Baggio.
Evani and Baggio rushed towards the landing point at the same time.
There is no obvious difference in speed, but Baggio has obviously thought about how to handle the ball in advance.
He ran up and raised his leg high, knocking the ball behind him.
Evani followed and turned a step slower. When he turned around, Baggio had turned around again and cut inside in front of the baseline.
Dhiene didn't dare to let go of Baggio. As a black and tough guy, he immediately wanted to use his body to fight.
But Baggio paid great attention to this aspect. He took a step forward with his left foot and immediately hit a Sombrero flick from a small angle and hit the near corner. Unfortunately, the ball was blocked by Ferron's legs and was pinned underneath him.
"Milan started very active today, and Baggio also played well on the right."
Ferraris Stadium bursts of boos appeared.
The fans did not expect that the opponent would threaten Samp's goal in the opening game.
Mannini looked at Dejan Lu.
Although Baggio is a threat, as an old teammate, he feels that the threat of Baggio is only one-tenth of that of Dejan Lu.
This ball can be shot if it is replaced by Dejan Lu, and it will never hit the goalkeeper in the near corner.
Just Dejan Lu's selection and shooting accuracy in a short period of time are almost unmatched by anyone.
The same ball Dejan Lu must have shot into the far corner, and the ball went into the goal against the right side of the net.
He has seen similar goals many times, so he is so confident.
The real test will be when Dejan Lu gets the ball.
"Roberto doesn't pass the ball, Dejan will remember to pass the ball later."
Van Basten said as he walked back.
"I didn't have a chance."
Baggio explained.
"I know."
Van Basten said with a smile.
Baggio's serious look is very interesting.
Dejan Lu didn't say anything. He would definitely pass it if he had the chance.
Ferron didn't waste too long and decisively kicked the ball away.
Karembeu and Redondo quickly rushed to the landing point. Their take-off timing was almost the same, but unfortunately there was still a gap in the confrontation.
Redondo, under the influence of the opponent, once again headed the ball to the right.
This time Baggio was a step slower, and Verón got the ball near the sideline.
Ambrogini and Panucci rushed forward almost immediately. As a long pass expert, Verón didn't hesitate much and sent a wide-range transfer with one move of his right foot.
The ball went straight to Ikepeano.
The young winger was still retreating to adjust his position when Paolo Maldini rushed up to his chest and stole the ball from his face.
Facing these young people, Paolo Maldini's steal success was ridiculously high.
Paolo Maldini, who was carrying the ball, rushed forward so quickly, and Milan launched another attack.
Ferraris Stadium It's really a turmoil.
Unexpectedly, the opponent organized another attack just after the kickoff.
Totti moved forward very resolutely, preparing to fight with the opponent's bayonet to help Van Basten share the pressure.
Dejan Lu ran decisively to the middle.
Redondo, who had been leaning sideways and thrusting forward together with Paolo Maldini, chose that side when he saw this.
Paolo Maldini, who dribbled the ball diagonally past the center circle, passed the ball diagonally to the left, and then rushed straight from the midfield to the baseline to connect.
Italy's veteran players rarely begrudge their physical fitness.
David·Valeri and Mannini went to the wing together. Redondo's dribbling rhythm is very characteristic of South American players. With his medium-long hair blowing in the wind, he looks very chic.
He pretended to move forward and kicked his left foot. Valeri, who reacted incorrectly at the first moment, ran to the bottom line to defend Paolo Maldini, and handed Redondo to Mannini.
Redondo threw the ball to the right with his left foot and ran sideways.
Dhiene chose to grab the ball, but Redondo took the lead and poked the ball.
The ball rolled all the way to the center behind the top of the arc, and Dejan Lu, who was waiting there, took advantage of the situation and took out his right foot.
Bang——
The lights of swords and shadows danced gracefully, and the enemy troops were panicked and did not know how to fight back.
Legler, who came back, blocked the ball sideways a step too late. Dejan Lu's long-range shot route was planned very well, passing through the defensive player and heading straight for the goal. This kick was full of power. Ferron pressed his center of gravity and prepared to take off. The ball went from his side into the left side of the goal. The goalkeeper subconsciously turned around and let him become the backdrop.
Boom——
"Dejan!!!!!"
"Dejan Goal!!!"
"GoalGoalGoal!"
"Dejan helped Milan take the lead in just 6 minutes. His long-range shot was of very high quality and did not even give the Sampdoria goalkeeper a chance to save. This is Dejan's shot, it is so terrible."
"Although most of the Sampdoria players today have never been teammates with Dejan, Mannini will definitely be impressed by such a shot. The Sampdoria fans at the scene should also be familiar with it, because they have seen Dejan use the same posture to score the goals of other teams many times, including Milan."
"Now that the identity has changed, Sampdoria fans should have very complicated feelings."
The teammates rushed up quickly.
Dejan Lu did not celebrate.
This is basic respect for the old club.
Both Samp fans and old chairman Mantovani maintain a good relationship with him.
However, the current chairman of Samp, Mantovani, does not have a good relationship with him.
That prodigal son will doom Samp sooner or later.
But he made a lot of money from his business. Even if Samp lost money, he could make up for it from other places.
This is the type of boss that fans hate the most.
He has the team in his hands but doesn't care, and may even make some player trades for off-field reasons.
Just like Manchester United buying Mount, Dejan Lu has always felt that this has nothing to do with sports. Mount's decline is visible to the naked eye, and there are also injuries. If you buy it at a high price and pay a high salary, it is difficult for people to think it is normal.
The Samp fans in the stands had mixed feelings.
It's like Dejan Lu chose not to celebrate.
Samp fans are very grateful to Dejan Lu for bringing so many championships to the team. Dejan Lu leaving the team is not what they want, nor is it what they want.
This incident in itself made them very angry.
But even now that Dejan Lu returns to Sampdoria, they are not very optimistic about the team.
The ability of little Mantovani is there. It is not something that ordinary people can do to play the new European giants like this in a few years.
Many Samp fans could only look at the field with complicated eyes.
Some fans were in trance, recalling the glory of the past.
Once upon a time, there was no water in the sea, but nothing except Wushan was like clouds.
After experiencing the best of times, it's hard to be excited about what comes next.
Ferraris Stadium Only the away fans cheered in the stands.
Sacchi clenched his fist and waved it hard on the sidelines.
Hell, sometimes it helps to have a superstar on the team.
Mannini Put his hands on his hips.
He had known this would happen.
As the captain of the team, he should not have such a mentality.
But it is also an objective fact that there is no way to beat the team led by Dejan Lu.
"Be careful, guys!"
Mannini clapped his hands and shouted.
Not to mention escaping unscathed today, it was a bit difficult not to be washed in blood.
Verón stood with his hands on the spot and stared at Dejan Lu.
He had already heard the legend of Dejan Lu in Argentina.
Verón just made his debut for the national team Argentina at the beginning of the month.
The eldest brother of Argentina is naturally Diego Maradona.
In Diego Maradona's mouth, Dejan Lu's strength is extremely exaggerated.
But after seeing it on site, Verón felt that what Diego Maradona said was a bit conservative.
As a player who can use his brain to play football, he had been observing Dejan Lu when he returned to defense just now.
Dejan Lu's movement is not a new one, but his timing is very accurate.
It leaves defenders with a difficult decision to make every time.
Once you are targeted, you should immediately try to reduce your presence, and take advantage of your teammates to retreat before moving forward.
Such a calm decision made Verón find it very troublesome.
At the same time, Verón is also a little excited. He came to Italy just to compete against such top players.
beep,
After Montella knocked back, Zanetti moved his left foot and took the ball to the side.
Baggio immediately pressed forward.
He is not special in Sacchi's tactics.
Baggio's pressing ability is indeed average, but frontal pressing will still delay the opponent's ball release time, which is also very important.
Therefore, the symbolic pressing by the frontcourt players also has an effect.
Zanetti passed Baggio, and Baggio immediately turned around and looked for him again.
This made Zanetti dare not continue to take the ball and quickly passed the ball back.
After receiving the ball, Evani took the ball two steps to Karembeu.
Karembeu, who had dreadlocks, ran with his hair trembling in a rhythmic manner. Totti went up with big hip steps to use his body to block the position. Karembeu forcibly passed the ball forward and hit Totti's feet and bounced back into the Sampdore penalty area.
Totti was pulled behind him when he wanted to start grabbing the ball.
Mannini quickly passed the ball to Valeri on the right.
At this time the referee's whistle sounded.
Totti, who was pulled, pushed Karembeu out of embarrassment, and the referee showed the Little Prince a yellow card.
"Damn it, he pulled my shorts down first!"
Totti shouted at the referee.
"Relax, otherwise I will give you another yellow card." The referee said somewhat unhappy.
"Damn..."
Before Totti could curse, Dejan Lu covered his mouth and persuaded him, "Forget it Francesco, if you turn red Sacchi will definitely not let you go."
At this time Totti finally calmed down a little.
He glared at the referee, spit on the turf, turned and walked back.
"Francesco·Totti's temper is not very good. It reminds me of Nesta of team Lazio. The same young genius with the same bad temper. It seems that Italian National Team's red card will be inevitable in the future."
Cruyff said with a smile.
He is still very tolerant of Milan's young talents.
It's not the first day that Totti's talent has attracted attention. When he was in the youth team, many Italy people believed that he would be the core of the future national team.
Position and style of play determine this.
For such a player, most fans are willing to give him more tolerance.
Mannini took a free kick in the backcourt. After receiving the ball, Valeri looked up and observed the situation on the court, looking for the placement point of the long pass.
As a veteran of Serie A.
He also discovered that the team's midfielder could not pass the Redondo level.
So the best way is to pass the ball as long as possible to the frontcourt, and find a way to give it to Verón to organize the frontcourt attack.
This is the case for the frontcourt playmaker. When being suppressed, it is difficult to even get in touch with the backcourt. It is inevitable that the playmaker is behind.
The angry the Little Prince rushed forward like a bull.
Valeri wanted to hit him horizontally, but Van Basten stood decisively beside Mannini.
Mannini may not be his opponent in a physical fight, but Valeri has no choice but to give up this plan. At this time, Totti has already pushed him to the side.
The two struggled for a long time, but Valeri failed to pass the ball.
He admitted that he had underestimated this famous illiterate.
This guy's body is not ordinary hard.
When he spiked the ball again, Totti pinned it in the corner flag area. Valeri turned around and kicked Totti's calf. The ball bounced off the baseline and it was a goal kick.
"Be careful and try not to hold the ball in the backfield."
Eriksson shouted to the field.
Ferron kicked off the ball and simply drove towards the frontcourt. There was wind with this kick, and the ball flew quite far.
Both midfielders misjudged the placement. Montella easily caught the ball in front of the penalty area, but before he could spike the ball, Baresi poked the ball behind him.
Montella's turning speed is very fast.
It's a pity that he faced Paolo Maldini, who has been partnered with Baresi for a long time.
Paolo Maldini was well prepared, took the first step, got stuck in position, took the ball and passed it to Redondo.
Verón and Legler worked together to attack Redondo.
Afraid that Redondo would pose a threat by passing the ball directly.
Faced with this situation, Redondo didn't panic at all, and took the initiative to find Verón and pull the ball sideways.
His half-pivot was not that elegant, but it firmly stuck the newly promoted national team teammate to his side, giving Verón no chance to make a move.
Paolo Maldini moves forward to ask for the ball.
Snap,
Redondo was assigned to the left, but it was given to Paolo Maldini.
Seeing Dejan Lu get the ball, Paolo Maldini chose to continue pushing forward.
The positioning of the two men caused some confusion.
Neither David·Valeri nor Mannini wanted to defend Dejan Lu, so they followed Paolo Maldini to the bottom.
This scene almost pissed Eriksson to death.
He has never seen two people put players with the ball together to defend players without the ball.
Fuck, if his remaining sense hadn't told him otherwise, he would have even wanted to replace the two of them together.
Dhiene was not afraid at all. He tried to intercept Dejan Lu who was dribbling the ball laterally, but Dejan Lu took two steps and decisively turned around to face the goal diagonally, rubbing the wrong instep of his right foot.
Bang——
This kick is not as powerful as the previous long-range shot, but the angle is very tricky. Ferron, who had been well prepared, hit the ground very quickly. He judged both the height and direction correctly, but he still could only watch the ball pass between his hand and the post.
Too tricky.
The ball almost hit the right post.
There was nothing he could do in this situation.
Dejan Lu, who scored the goal, still did not choose to celebrate, but the excited Milan players instantly overwhelmed him.
Especially the Little Prince, who came up and put his arms around Dejan Lu's shoulders and punched Karembeu to demonstrate, as if he had scored the goal himself.
Paolo Maldini, who ran 90 meters from steal to run in this offense, was also very excited.
Today, his running has always been to the extreme, and the results are also very gratifying, and there is no waste of diligence.
Sometimes he is not afraid of wasting energy.
I am afraid that I have been working hard to create a good environment for the team, but my teammates are not scoring goals.
Fortunately, Dejan Lu's counterattack efficiency is amazing, so this situation does not exist.
Paolo Maldini grinned so wide that you could see his back molars.
The Sampdoria fans in the stands fell into silence again. Could it be that they can only say goodbye with red eyes...
