In Canale 5's live broadcast room, Cruyff was silent for a long time.
More than ten seconds later, he said, "Gianni's vision is very accurate, both on and off the court. Today may be a difficult game. I watched all the videos of Dejan before the game, and he once again refreshed his shooting range."
"Gullit is no longer a necessity in Milan. We have Donadoni. If Galliani can realize this earlier, the situation of today's game will be completely different."
Sacchi's starting two wingers are not very sharp. Ancelotti plays in the middle and Evani is simply a defensive player.
If possible, Cruyff also wants to see Milan's wingers able to wreak havoc on the opponent's defense at will.
Italy people can't deny that gorgeous offensive football and personal heroism are the most exciting things about football no matter how much they insist on the one-to-zero doctrine.
Costacurta spread his hands towards Paolo Maldini.
He went up but didn't catch up.
Paolo Maldini also shook his head helplessly.
Who would have thought that Dejan Lu could shoot directly from 40 meters away.
However, he still cheered up and shouted, "Be careful next time and don't give him a chance to kick. We need to pay more attention to Dejan, right? Of course, we can't forget the other people."
Now AC Milan's defender also feels that way, there are too many objects to defend.
Facing Samp last season was not so uncomfortable. In the final analysis, one person brought too much improvement, just like Alemao, a nobody, looked like a football superstar next to Diego Maradona.
Someone who attracts others to defend can get more opportunities, and good teammate performance can also drive other performances.
Not too worried about the competition Paolo Maldini.
Donadoni may not be the top one, but they also have Van Basten!
Having trained with that guy, you know how perverted he is.
Paolo Maldini even thought that if Van Basten, who had just transferred to Milan, was not seriously injured, Serie A would now be a battlefield for Diego Maradona, Van Basten and Dejan Lu.
"Pay attention to defense and don't concede the ball first! Carlo and Mauro, you two, keep an eye on him and treat him like a beautiful woman. You spent 20 years in prison before being released!!!"
Sacchi shouted to the field.
The two-point system makes a draw very cost-effective, which is also an important reason for the popularity of defensive football.
Losing is hard to accept, but two draws can catch up with an opponent who has one win and one loss.
The coaches of wealthy teams are more conservative than those of small teams, especially in big games. The central idea of both Sacchi and Trapattoni is to maintain a tie and win.
When the pursuit of victory is at stake, they would rather have a draw than risk it.
Even Boskov.
So the three-point rule is one of the most important nodes in football history.
AC Milan, who restarted the ball, had no intention of attacking aggressively. The ball kept passing in the backcourt, waiting for someone to press it before giving it to the frontcourt.
I am also more cautious when I arrive at the frontcourt.
It's not a good opportunity, so I'll continue to pass it back.
"Coward."
Boskov complained disdainfully.
Pezzotti was snickering on the side.
You seemed to be like this last season, too.
Why have you become the spokesperson for offensive football now?
On the bench, Chiesa, who had been watching the game, felt a little strange.
To be honest, Dejan Lu can still run quite well, but there really wasn't much running today.
Although he didn't know what the secret was, he felt that AC Milan would definitely suffer in this regard.
After watching the ball for so long, he has grown a lot.
According to Chiesa's own estimation, if he continues to look like this and apply what he has learned through training on the field, he will become a new Diego Maradona within five years, but he will become a new Gigi·Riva.
In the past, there was always no improvement from sitting on the bench, mainly because my teammates on the court were too bad.
If you loan him to the second division to watch those rookies play, how will he grow?
Towards the end of the first half, players from both sides were physically exhausted. Van Basten immediately took the ball from the top of the key and shot a long shot that was blown over the crossbar by Pagliuca.
The Samp players were woken up immediately.
Verchowod clapped his hands and shouted, "Don't lose the ball before halftime, keep your spirits up."
Fortunately, the corner kick was successfully cleared this time and the opponent did not score in stoppage time.
Dejan Lu walked to the sidelines, and Chiesa immediately came up to him with a water bottle and said, "Are you waiting for the opportunity Dejan?"
"Well, you are observing very carefully. You want to wait for them to use up some energy before exerting their strength."
Dejan Lu said after rinsing his mouth.
I didn't expect Chiesa's competition reading ability to be so strong.
Chiesa nodded.
It was exactly what he thought.
No one knows Dejan Lu better than him.
In the home locker room, the players took off their shoes and relaxed.
Dejan Lu had his socks rolled down. It was okay. Today AC Milan player's tackle didn't scratch him. Top defenders are not very accurate in their tackles.
Boskov rarely said anything. He was quite satisfied with the progress of the game.
"I've recently fallen in love with a girl, and I think it's true love."
Chiesa approached Dejan Lu and asked, "I'm a little nervous this time, what should I do?"
"There is nothing to be nervous about. Just tell him that you are a Sampdoria player. Genoa It is impossible for any woman to reject you." Roberto Mancini said very unkindly.
"I'm serious, I want to marry her!"
Chiesa said with some dissatisfaction.
As a substitute, he has a bad reputation.
"Why don't you just buy diamonds, a few carats in size? No woman can refuse such a gift." Mannini joked.
"A gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, are you crazy?"
Chiesa shouted excitedly.
Before the diamond scam was exposed, it was quite expensive.
"Actually, it's easy to get to know each other, and it's also easy to get along with each other, but the trouble comes later. What clothes should you wear, which way should you walk at night, and how should you exert your strength and scream." Roberto Mancini said with a wink.
"Federica really complained that your physical strength has declined." Vialli said quietly.
There was a burst of cheers in the locker room.
"Are you still shouting?"
Chiesa asked doubtfully.
"I testify that my living room faces his bedroom. I was watching TV that day when I heard a donkey braying. I was still wondering what was going on. I heard Roberto intermittent questions with uneven breathing mixed with the donkey's braying. He asked if he was feeling well and if he was the best. There was no response for a long time. I turned off the TV and heard that Federica had fallen asleep." Dejan Lu said.
Roberto Mancini turned around and pounced on Dejan Lu.
Just when Pezzotti was about to stop him, he saw Boskov galloping forward, grabbing Roberto Mancini's arm with his right hand and knocking him over.
"Hey, boss, this is just a joke, you seem to have hurt me."
Roberto Mancini, who fell to the ground, rubbed his ribs and said.
How could it hurt even though I didn't hit my ribs?
Pezzotti quickly lowered his head to look at his feet. He just vaguely saw Boskov's left straight punch.
"Asshole, you slandered me."
Roberto Mancini, who was rubbing his ribs, sat back and said.
Dejan Lu shrugged his shoulders, who told this guy not to teach others how to learn well?
When people talk about relationships, you have to talk three ways.
"Remember to pass the ball to me later. I'll forgive you if I can score." Roberto Mancini said.
"I'll definitely pass the ball to you if I get the chance."
Dejan Lu said.
The key is that it is not easy to penetrate AC Milan's defense with a through ball.
When he came out again, Dejan Lu found that the air pressure was a bit low and it looked like it might rain.
Just as he thought, not long after the game restarted, a steady drizzle began to fall over Genoa.
This will bring certain difficulties to the game.
A slippery field will make it more difficult to control the ball. Both teams are more cooperative on the ground.
Rijkaard failed to control his power well in a through ball and was successfully stopped by Pari.
Without saying a word, Pari once again passed the ball to the left. Dejan Lu saw that Roberto Mancini was already near AC Milan's defense line when he was ready to start. He then made another long pass.
Bang——
The ball went straight from the left side of the backcourt to the middle of the frontcourt. Roberto Mancini started the ball at just the right time. Tassotti raised his hand and looked at the line judge but there was no reaction.
Costacurta is already far behind. Baresi is on the same level as Roberto Mancini, but the ball is on the left and Baresi is on the right. Overall, it is further away from the ball.
Andre·Pagliuca chose to attack and rushed to the edge of the penalty area. At this time, Roberto Mancini had slowed down and was preparing to catch the ball. In just such an instant, he slowed down and Baresi took the opportunity to shovel the ball out.
The ball didn't even fly towards the baseline. Costacurta ran to the top of the arc without daring to turn around and kicked the ball out of the baseline.
"It's a bit dangerous. This Roberto Mancini deceleration adjustment was mainly because the turf was slippery. If it hadn't rained, Baresi might not have had a chance to tackle the ball."
Cruyff said with some worry, "There is no problem with our defense, but the problem is with the opponent. Dejan's ability to seize opportunities is too strong. He was preparing to dribble the ball just now, but he changed his mind in an instant."
"Players should be more careful when defending corner kicks this time."
AC Milan is still very careful, Sacchi is very reasonable in the allocation of players, and Sampdoria has someone responsible for several dangerous points.
Roberto Mancini kept observing the corner flag area but couldn't find any good opportunities. The referee couldn't help but gestured to urge him to kick off the ball quickly.
Swish——
After taking a run-up step, Roberto Mancini's left foot slipped, and the ball was kicked and sent directly to Tassotti's feet.
"Fight back!!!!!!!!"
Tassotti shouted.
Players from both sides rushed out of AC Milan's penalty area almost instantly and ran towards the direction of Samp's penalty area.
Dejan Lu's feet slipped a bit when it was started.
This is because artificial turf has not become mainstream, and natural turf is not that slippery. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable not to change the spikes on some artificial turf on rainy days.
This time AC Milan's attack was quite fast. Donadoni passed forward diagonally almost as soon as he got the ball, leaving Dejan Lu to miss.
Paolo Maldini, who got the ball, arrived near the penalty area and immediately chose to take the ball and pass.
Pagliuca rushed out of the goal, grabbed the ball before Van Basten, and fell to the ground to suppress the ball.
"Stop lying there, pass the ball!"
Hearing Boskov's shout, Pagliuca looked towards the front court.
He quickly threw the ball up with a big kick.
Dejan can really run. He was back in front of the penalty area just now, and he was in the opponent's half so quickly.
Oh shit!
Sacchi Everyone is feeling bad.
The heart started beating wildly.
The AC Milan attack was too exaggerated this time, and it was naturally very uncomfortable when it was the opponent's turn to counterattack.
The entire defensive line is behind the center circle and must gain time to return to defense.
The ball passed the center line and landed in front of Tassotti and Dejan Lu. It was impartial and no one had an advantage.
Dejan Lu immediately accelerated and grabbed half of his body when he saw this.
Damn it!
Knowing that there was no way to get the ball first, Tassotti chose physical confrontation.
He hurriedly bumped into Dejan Lu with his shoulder. Unexpectedly, Dejan Lu stood there steadily and successfully used his head to rub the ball forward.
Baresi stepped up his pace to make a clearance, but Dejan Lu didn't give him any chance. He immediately stretched out his right foot and flicked the ball under the ball, and directed the ball toward the penalty area.
Knowing that he would be thrown away when he turned around, Baresi immediately reached out and got entangled with Dejan Lu's arm.
"Be careful!"
Boskov shouted.
He saw Rijkaard flying up and trying to use his knees to clear the ball, but Dejan Lu, who was entangled with Baresi, had already lowered his head to head the ball again.
This time he was hit by a knee and he would definitely be injured.
Fortunately, Dejan Lu was one step faster and immediately adjusted his center of gravity after pushing the ball away, just in time to avoid Rijkaard.
Rijkaard, who threw himself out, hit Baresi hard, and the two fell together in the penalty area.
Dejan Lu, who took the ball again, had no defensive players around him.
Andre·Pagliuca couldn't help but curse, is that Dutchman an undercover agent?
If it hadn't been for him, Baresi might have been able to find a chance to steal.
But it was too late to say anything now. He moved forward two steps and began to press his center of gravity. While putting pressure on Dejan Lu, he was also preparing to get off the ground immediately.
Snap——
Turn slightly sideways and raise your hands to maintain balance, and push forward with the instep of your right foot.
Dejan Lu does not have any unnecessary actions.
Right side!
Pagliuca judged it, and he quickly fell to the ground sideways, but he was still a step too late and the ball rolled under his arm and went into the inside of the goal.
Dejan Lu, who scored the goal, opened his arms and waved to the stands.
This action instantly ignited Ferraris Stadium.
"Dejan Captain!!!"
"Dejan Captain!!!"
"Dejan Captain!!!"
The word captain is used in English because it also means captain, which can perfectly explain today's Dejan Lu. Both the new captain on the field and the captain leading them forward.
In Genoa, the captain and commander specifically refer to Andre A. Doria!
The rain hit Dejan Lu's face and then slid down his chin, as if God didn't want his face to be covered in dust.
The night lights of the stadium were refracted through the rain, and there seemed to be a divine light around their Number Seven.
