Chapter 155 Maradona's Disappointment (Subscription Request)
ah!!!!!!!!!!

Maradona was excited because his opponents were Lu Dejan and Sampdoria.

The feeling of scoring a goal against different opponents is naturally different.

Most importantly, he has restrained himself for so long.

Don't talk about that stuff.

Even women are rarely touched.

It went from cheating a few times a week to a few times a month.

He looks like the same jerk, but his wife almost went to the TV station to read a thank-you letter to Lu Deyang.

After all, this kind of thing has been caught by reporters many times, and the person next to you knows it clearly.

Claudia never wanted a Maradona who didn't cheat.

Even with Maradona in his current state, she found it hard to believe.

Compared to the stuff he was smoking, just going out for fun was a small matter.

The number of people returning home every month has increased several times compared to before.

As for the better Maradona, she doesn't even know whether he exists or not.

After going through the most difficult period, Maradona also felt the strength in his body.

It was a long-lost, healthy and real power.

It's not the unreal feeling you get when you're excited or drunk.

Before, I was confused and often played football based on instinct, but now I have more and better ideas in my mind.

The most important thing is that today not only did his condition return to its best, but the team also made more tactical arrangements.

Let Maradona believe that he has a chance to defeat Lu Deyang.

When he walked towards midfield, his confidence was gone by half.

Because Lu Deyang's face still had the same expression as before, and there was no sign of worry about falling behind.

Damn, is this guy really not worried about losing?
……

"I always felt that Maradona was Dejan's best rival."

Rossi said in the live studio.

"Why Paul?"

Variale asked.

Even he was curious about this.

Rossi said: "First of all, Maradona has enough skills. His skills are very delicate and imaginative. He can score all kinds of amazing goals. And this Argentine player has a very strong desire to win. Only such an opponent can make Dejan completely serious."

"I think Van Basten is also good."

"Yes, but Van Basten didn't tackle much."

"And what about Mateus?"

"That guy's reputation makes it hard for Dejan to bother with him. Do you think the Olympic 100-meter champion would care about a crazy guy who runs very fast?"

"Cough cough..."

Variale quickly changed the subject and said: "If Maradona scores first, the game will still be more exciting. Napoli may win today."

Galliani, who was sitting in front of the TV, slapped the TV hard.

After the video stabilized, he complained: "If Napoli wins, I will have to live in seclusion in Africa, but Dejan's chances of losing are about the same as me unifying Africa."

Newspapers and TV commentators are always analyzing it seriously.

It seems like one team is very threatening.

Galliani thinks this is all deceptive and the data doesn't lie.

The day when Lu Deyang loses a game as a starter, he will admit that what was said on TV is right.

The ball is restarted.

Chiesa passed the ball to Mancini, who turned around and passed it to Redondo.

Redondo was not in a hurry to pass the ball. Napoli's tactics today were a bit unfamiliar. It was easier for him to pass the ball to his teammates on both sides when he was in this position.

Let's stabilize it first.

Napoli's pressing was indeed not that aggressive, at least Redondo did not encounter any decent pressing.

As a team, you can't run more and pass the ball while also pressing all the time. Such tactics will not last more than 90 minutes.

There is always a standard for the physical distribution of players.

Seeing this, Redondo felt much more relieved and passed the ball with Materazzi.

Materazzi, who played as a midfielder in an official match for the first time, was more cautious. He would pass the ball earlier and sometimes could not control the power of the pass well, but he also had to pass the ball before the opponent pressed.

Redondo didn't say much about this.

It's not easy for a defender to reach this level.

At least you won't pass the ball to your opponent.

The Napoli players could not hold back any longer. Claudio Ranieri immediately waved his hands and shouted on the sidelines: "Don't push too far forward. We are leading, so don't worry. They should be the ones who are worried. We just need to fight back!"

He can understand that the players are anxious.

But it also depends on who the opponent is.

That’s Sampdoria, the Sampdoria with Lu Deyang.

Given Sampdoria's counterattack speed, he could organize several attacks and score several goals just by standing in the bathroom and peeing.

So even if he used 433, he still didn't dare let the team press too forward.

His reminder worked, and even Maradona patiently roamed around the midfield instead of following his teammates on the front line to press.

When Padovano rushed towards Redondo, his hands moved.

But at 1 meters tall, he was no match for Redondo at all. After bumping into Redondo, the hand he stretched out could only be used to keep his balance. He stumbled after bumping into him, which looked quite funny.

This scene also reminds Napoli fans that it is too early to be happy.

There were even louder boos at the São Paulo Stadium.

Lie.

Even though he knew it was useless, he was still trying to put some pressure on Sampdoria players.

Even just a little bit.

After all, there wasn't much they could do.

After Redondo passed the ball back, Lanner quickly passed the ball forward.

Lu Deyang raised his right foot to let the ball pass, and then started to knock it.

DeNapoli quickly reached out to try to stop Lu Deyang.

But Lu Deyang started very quickly, and after knocking the ball he rushed out more than half a meter, leaving him empty-handed.

Alemão has turned around and chased back, with his teammate Padovano behind him.

The biggest problem with 433 is that the midfield is relatively thin.

After passing De Napoli, you will almost face Napoli's defense directly.

Especially today, Lu Deyang didn't seem to have any intention of getting entangled with them, and he showed amazing speed as soon as he started.

This reminded everyone of the classic scene where the man passed the ball across dozens of meters, which was even more terrifying than passing it to himself 3 seconds later.

Lu Deyang, who only relies on speed to resolve battles, is almost unstoppable.

Even if you fail to steal the ball when passing the opponent in a small area, you can still commit a foul.

But if you use speed to eat them alive, you can't catch up and you don't even have the qualification to foul!
Francini gritted his teeth and rushed to the sideline.

Even if he was closer to the sideline, he was afraid he would not be able to catch up.

Fortunately, Lu Deyang's speed is not that outrageous.

Francini kept his center of gravity low near the sideline, constantly adjusting his steps, fearing that he would be passed by.

slow.

Seeing Lu Deyang taking small steps, Francesi's heart tightened.

At this time, Lu Deyang suddenly raised his right foot, and Francesco turned and ran.

However, the imagined ball-man separation did not happen. After Lu Deyang put down his right foot, he used the outside of his foot to push the ball towards the middle, but the Napoli full-back missed the target.

Ranieri also felt the pressure as the players made embarrassing mistakes one after another.

But he knew the players had done nothing wrong, and he had to give them affirmation at this time.

"Well done, you moved to force Dejan to the middle, keep doing it!!!"

Ranieri shouted.

De Napoli, who was chasing back, paused and almost fell down.

Why didn’t I realize that the coach is so good at talking before?

If Lu Deyang scored a goal, did it mean that we forced him to be unable to pass the ball?

His feet were a little slow, but Ferrara and Pusedu delayed Lu Deyang's pace. Alemao took the opportunity to rush forward and reached out secretly when Lu Deyang passed the ball, causing Lu Deyang's pass to deviate and Mancini failed to receive it.

"Mr. Referee."

Lu Deyang turned and looked at the referee.

The referee immediately shook his head.

His vision wasn't very good, and the contact wasn't very intense.

You can't give a free kick in this situation. What's the difference between Lu Deyang's free kick and a penalty kick?

If it were any other team, he might consider it.

But this is Sampdoria.

"Be careful."

Mancini pointed at Alemão and warned.

He didn't see it clearly, but there was something wrong with Lu Deyang's pass, so it must be the opponent who did something.

Alemão walked forward nonchalantly and left the penalty area.

When playing football in Brazil, both sides often greet each other's families.

Even Brazilian street kids wouldn't be scared of this level of threat.

"Give me the ball!"

When walking back, Lu Deyang heard the shouting of the Napoli goalkeeper.

He immediately realized something was wrong and rushed towards his own half without even looking back.

Giovanni Galli got the ball and kicked it towards Sampdoria's half.

The ball flew more than 60 meters and landed in front of the penalty area. Redondo was in a forward position and couldn't go back. When Materazzi wanted to go to the landing point, Zola reached out and pulled him.

Just because he was one step slower, Maradona successfully got the ball.

Materazzi glared at Zola and ran back.

He felt very embarrassed to be tricked by the other party due to the huge height difference.

While running, Maradona passed the ball to Careca, who then passed the ball into the penalty area and completed a wall pass. Mannini and Pellegrini chased after him together.

Maradona chased the ball with his back to the goal, rubbed and flicked it with his feet, then hooked it, and the ball flew in front of the goal. Careca's header was too straight and was saved by Paluka over the crossbar.

There was a sigh at the São Paulo Stadium.

This cooperation can even be given full marks because of Maradona's pass.

The only problem was that we couldn't score.

"Be careful."

Viljoward said with a serious expression.

He was frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.

In this attack, the Napoli players were just running around, and with the cooperation of the two South Americans, they almost let in a goal.

Naples today is more lively than ever.

Alemão's corner kick was headed out by Materazzi. Mannini and Zola competed fiercely on the right. Zola was more flexible and quickly hooked the ball under his feet.

Mannini had no choice but to fall to the ground and shovel the ball out of the sideline.

"Napoli's attack today was very fierce. It's rare to see Sampdoria being continuously pressed by the opponent."

"Yes, Naples is indeed a little different today."

Rossi said.

Zola quickly threw the ball out of bounds, and Maradona's long shot from outside the penalty area missed the post.

"Damn, what's wrong with you guys today?"

Pagliuca cursed.

My teammates are sometimes unreliable, but they gave us too many chances today.

"Those guys always like to get physical," Materazzi complained.

Pellegrini nodded.

"The referee was rather lenient towards the home team today, and his whistle wasn't very strict," said Viljoward, frowning.

Clearly Napoli is taking advantage of this.

"Be careful."

Lu Deyang said as he was about to return to the front court.

Napoli copied the South American football style to Serie A.

And they were lucky, the referee today was tolerant of their fouls.

This allows them to influence the performance of Sampdoria players at almost no cost. If Sampdoria players are angered, they may take the initiative to get a card, which is beneficial to them no matter how you look at it.

This tactic does depend on the referee's enforcement standards.

In order to win, Napoli left it to luck.

If the referee is strict, all the little moves they spent time practicing will be wasted.

It’s no wonder that Napoli’s tactics were a bit strange today. They even dared to use a 433 formation that was completely offensive, hoping to make up for it by committing fouls.

Lu Deyang looked towards the sidelines.

Even though they are young, they can still recognize each other.

The Tinker is still quite capable, and the defensive aspect of this tactic is almost identical to Guardiola's Manchester City.

Your tendency to adopt an offensive strategy will inevitably make you vulnerable to counterattacks.

Not to mention Rodri, even if there is another Gundogan, it is impossible to disrupt the opponent's attack every time. At this time, it is necessary to commit fouls with small costs.

Then you can only try not to let the other person get close to you.

After all, the referee's standards are here.

Lu Deyang had a plan in mind as soon as the ball was kicked off from the backcourt.

As long as I'm fast enough and don't slow down to pass you, you won't be able to affect me.

Redondo passed the ball to Lu Deyang, who rarely lowered his head and dribbled the ball forward.

Hey!
De Napoli was thrown several meters away in an instant.

He almost thought Lu Deyang was flying on the grass.

too fast!
He couldn't even catch up with Lu Deyang who was dribbling the ball with his head up, let alone running with his head down.

Fortunately, this time his teammates were all in the half court, and Francini and Maradona rushed to the wing together.

click -

Lu Deyang moved towards the middle with the outside of his foot, followed by a Genoa turn, and with his balance unstable, he threw the ball to the front of the left.

Mancini received the ball on the side and passed it back to the middle immediately.

Lu Deyang, with his back to the basket, knocked his heels against the opponent.

Snapped--

The ball easily passed between Ferrara and Pusedu and found Mancini who was making a forward run again. Giovanni Galli attacked decisively, but Mancini steadily used his right foot to rub the ball into the goal.

There is no way he would miss a one-on-one shot.

Mancini, who scored the goal, glanced back at Maradona, turned around and rushed towards the corner flag area, not forgetting to point a finger at Lu Deyang who assisted the goal.

nobody.

No one can beat the combination of him and Lu Deyang. This combination barely includes Gianluca Vialli, a guy with no ability, and it is better to include Redondo.

He has been thinking about it recently.

The reason why the phrase "we are family" is not popular may be that their good brother Vialli dragged them down.

Although Vialli is Italy's main center forward.

But there was almost no news about him off the court. He was just a rich second-generation and his dress was nothing special.

As for his appearance, I can only say that he is not ugly, but I can't say he is handsome.

Compared to Lei Dong who refused the call of the national team, he has more personality, but in terms of fashion, he is far behind.

Yes, that's right, that's why reporters don't report much on this combination of Samp.

As long as Vialli is kicked out and Redondo is brought in to form a new version of the Sampdoria brothers, it will definitely be very popular.

Mancini, who had figured this out, pointed at Redondo when he ran back, leaving Redondo confused.

Materazzi whispered: "I heard from Lazio players that Roberto seems to have some mental problems. You'd better not mess with him."

Redondo nodded.

Mancini is indeed a bit moody.

He is mentally ill, so just obey him.

Redondo also raised his right hand and pointed at Mancini.

The fans are very happy to see this scene.

Locker room harmony is the guarantee of team performance.

Especially their number 10 is a difficult guy. The fact that he can now have such a good relationship with his foreign teammates has surprised many Sampdoria fans.

Maradona kicked the grass in the air.

He was somewhat discouraged by the equalization.

He felt as if all this had happened many times before. When he had abstained from sex in preparation for the competition, it was a similar story.

The goal was not scored by Lu Deyang this time.

But everyone knows that Lu Deyang contributed the most to this goal.

He did almost everything to create a one-on-one opportunity for Mancini.

"Both sides are back to the same starting line again. Today Sampdoria's forward combination has changed, and the absence of Vialli still has a significant impact."

"Yes, there was no one in the front to act as a fulcrum in the penalty area, which caused some problems for Sampdoria's offense. Chiesa also likes to take the ball and attack the penalty area instead of fighting on the back line. His starting lineup is a weakening for Sampdoria."

Rossi said bluntly.

Neither Lu Deyang nor Mancini likes physical combat.

Lu Deyang is good at confrontation, but he would not choose to get close to the opponent unless it is necessary.

Mancini even more so.

This is where Chiesa is embarrassed.

He is a completely different type from Vialli, a goal-scoring striker.

He does not overlap with Lu Deyang and Mancini, but he cannot provide any help to either of them.

The most important thing is that his skills and strength are not enough to support him to replace Mancini.

If he had been born a little later, he would have known what he should do by looking at the way Raul played football.

The Lord of the Rings can remain standing in Real Madrid because he is constantly learning.

Shortly after the restart, Maradona received the ball in the frontcourt, and this time he and Redondo, two Argentines, faced each other.

Maradona's consecutive dribbles made Redondo distracted, and Redondo was not polite either. He turned around and slid down the national team big brother.

"damn it!"

Careca ran back from the front of the penalty area.

Lu Deyang rushed forward to block him, lowered his head and asked, "Can you still play?"

"I'll be fine no matter what happens to you."

Maradona stood up and patted his socks to persuade: "This is just a trip, it's no big deal."

Kalek kept on trying.

The referee who arrived late only warned Redondo.

Alemao came up and took the free kick, and De Napoli immediately passed the ball horizontally.

Francini dribbled the ball a few meters forward and passed it to Maradona in the first place.

Lu Deyang put a lot of pressure on him, making him afraid to stay in the frontcourt for too long with the ball.

If he lost the ball and was not in the backcourt, Lu Deyang would not give him a chance to chase back.

Maradona received the ball and dribbled it down the middle. The Argentine number ten, who was in great form, didn't even need to go to the side, and passed Materazzi with a light fried meatball.

Redondo rushed forward.

Maradona also knew that this compatriot was a bit difficult to deal with, so he chose to pass the ball straight away.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely dribble past the opponent, but now he is in such good shape.

But when facing Lu Deyang, he would rather put aside his pride.

Careca received the ball with his back to the goal and passed it back immediately, and Maradona kicked it.

This time the long shot was blocked by Pellegrini.

But Pellegrini fell to the ground, and when he saw the ball fall to his feet again, Maradona took one step and then kicked the ball out of the sideline in frustration.

He disdains scoring in this way.

If you want to defeat Lu Deyang, you must do it fairly.

"Pellegrini seems to be injured again. As a glass man, he is frequently injured every season and his form is also ups and downs. Now Sampdoria must change talents."

"It is because there is no one else to use that Boskov will let Materazzi play as a guest in the midfield. Parry has played almost all the games so far this season. His attendance rate is higher than Redondo. Will Boskov let Parry, who is resting, play?"

"As expected, Parry played again. Sampdoria's biggest problem is that the lineup is too thin."

Boskov was very helpless.

It is not difficult for a team to buy players.

But if you want to spend a lot of money to buy top players and let them compete for the starting position, regardless of whether the players agree or not, the locker room will inevitably be affected.

Not everyone is like Lombardo, who has a good personality and is a transfer from a low-level team and does not have so many requirements.

Are you still buying people from low levels?
In the summer, almost all the new players were bought by low-level teams. At present, except for a few players, it is a bit difficult for them to be substitutes.

He was very curious about how those big clubs could make their players live in peace.

But when I thought about Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Bayern being in the news every day because of their locker rooms, I gave up the idea.

Pellegrini is replaced by Parry.

Lanner took the ball on the wing and passed it back to Napoli.

Napoli could only pass the ball back to the organization.

Maradona, with the ball, launched another attack.

He avoided Parry in the first place, then jumped over Redondo's tackle, and then passed the ball with his heel without adjusting his body.

Padovano passed the ball to Careca without stopping, and Careca pushed the ball sideways into the penalty area.

Zola's forward speed was very fast, but unfortunately he met the partner of Verchoise and Mannini. The two of them had a great understanding between them and did not need any verbal communication at all.

Verchoward rushed forward and used his shoulder to block the position, and Mannini immediately blocked Zola's passing route.

The two old guys squeezed Zola all the way and made him take the ball out of the baseline, not giving the young man any chance.

"It's a good pass."

Lu Deyang said as he ran forward.

“No goal again.”

Maradona said somewhat dejectedly.

He wanted to beat Lu Deyang so badly that he hoped the team could score a goal at every opportunity.

Lu Deyang thought that Napoli played very well today.

The tactics are a bit disgusting, but it is also an exploitation of the rules.

There is no need to talk about Maradona, this guy is in great form.

Even if King Lu is gifted, he still has to fight hard today.

Paluka finally snatched the ball from the caddy, observed the position of his teammates, and immediately took a run-up and kicked the ball towards the front court.

boom--

The kick was so powerful that the ball quickly passed through Sampdoria players and into Napoli's half.

The Napoli players reacted quickly as well, and almost half of them rushed towards Lu Deyang instantly, even though the ball landed in the middle.

Feeling insulted, Mancini saw Redondo on the landing spot and continued to rush forward.

As expected, Alemao was suppressed by Redondo when he jumped, and Redondo headed the ball forward.

"Pass the ball!"

As soon as Mancini got the ball, Chiesa stretched out his hand and shouted.

There were people around him, but their attention was not on him.

Mancini passed the ball to the left again, and Lu Deyang kicked the ball and stopped it in front of him, allowing De Napoli to rush over his head.

Without waiting for the opponent to adjust and stretch his leg, Lu Deyang had already turned around and knocked away Padovano who had returned to the penalty area, and kicked the ball sideways to the lower side.

Bang - the ball cleverly passed the Napoli defense line and went to the right side of the small penalty area. Chiesa jumped up and blocked it with his right foot. Pari, who rushed into the penalty area, knocked the ball into the goal in front of the goal.

After scoring the goal, Parry hugged Chiesa, turned and rushed towards Lu Deyang.

The away fans in the stands were boiling with excitement.

They knew that no one could defeat them.

Neapolitan God?

Not even the God of the Vatican!

"Sampdoria turned the game around and Dejan launched another attack."

"When Dejan received the ball this time, he passed De Napoli and then got rid of Padovano. The defense of the Napoli players did not play any role. The incomplete turn at the end showed his understanding of the situation on the field and he had guessed the position of his teammates. It was a pity that Chiesa failed to stop the ball, wasting Dejan's assist, and the goal turned into an assist."

"If it was Mancini, he would have scored directly this time."

In terms of ball feel, the traditional number nine cannot compare with the number nine and a half.

“This ball is a beautiful gift!”

Pari said a little excitedly.

Who would have thought that he would score a goal as soon as he came on the pitch.

"Enrico cooperated well."

Lu Deyang said with a smile.

Chiesa immediately broke into a smile and couldn't stop smiling.

He was happier to receive praise from Lu Deyang than to have Boskov let him start.

Moreover, Boskov always makes big promises for him. He failed to score a goal when he came on as a substitute last time and he didn't start against Manchester United.

Who the hell can guarantee a goal as soon as they play?

Ah, except Dejan!

In fact, he still likes the team very much.

Except Boskov and Mancini.

Chiesa said with a smile on his face: "This assist was still easy. I guessed that Dejan might pass the ball, so I thought of giving it a try."

"That shows you have good awareness."

Pari encouraged.

"Everyone be careful, let's try to score one more goal!"

While the Sampdoria players were chatting and laughing, Maradona shouted impatiently.

He doesn't want to experience the bitterness of failure again.

As a player from a low-income family in Argentina, he strongly believes in getting rewards through hard work.

But you can't keep letting me work without reward.

Before he met Lu Deyang, his football journey was not smooth sailing but it was safe and sound. But now, the feeling of not being able to win a game no matter how hard he tried made him a little crazy.

"Relax, Diego."

Kalek said worriedly.

"I am fine."

Maradona waved his hand and said.

These words did not put Kalekha's worries to rest.

After all, he witnessed with his own eyes the efforts Maradona has made during this period.

Rather than the game, he was more worried that Maradona would be devastated by the loss and become his old self again.

Born in the slums of Brazil, he knew very well how difficult it was to quit addiction. If possible, he really didn't want Maradona to continue to be addicted to it.

Careca kicked the ball horizontally and Maradona immediately came up to receive the ball and started to organize the attack.

Both of their wingers can move to the side to utilize the width of the field.

Maradona remained cautious and passed the ball to Zola in advance.

The younger brother respected him very much in the team.

Zola has good footwork, but he did not dribble the ball himself. Instead, he passed the ball back to Alemao immediately.

Alemão himself is Maradona's wingman, responsible for passing the ball to Maradona.

This is also his greatest advantage.

Finding that Sampdoria’s formation had not yet expanded, Alemao continued to pass the ball sideways.

De Napoli rushed forward the first time he received the ball, and also did not choose to dribble past anyone.

Napoli passed the ball a lot today, which was very South American style.

After passing the ball across half the court, he is still patiently organizing the ball. It seems inefficient, but the progressive approach reduces the risk of being intercepted.

Alemao received the ball again and passed it to Maradona.

Maradona flicked his right foot and then used the outside of his foot to break through Redondo.

He sent a through ball the moment Virgil van Dijk came up to steal the ball.

Boskov on the sidelines clenched his fists nervously, but fortunately Materazzi kicked the ball in advance.

The tall defender lost his balance, but Lanner got there first, hooked the ball away and turned around to kick it.

Left road, still left road!
This time Napoli pressed too far forward.

When Lu Deyang received the ball, only Giovanni Francini was with him.

Snapped--

He knocked the ball forward and Francini immediately passed it to him.

boom,
Lu Deyang rushed across half the court and pushed the ball forward again, and the ball rolled more than ten meters away.

Ferrara in the middle wanted to take off directly, and Chiesa was making forward progress beside him, but Ferrara completely ignored the young Sampdoria striker and kept observing Lu Dejan's situation on the left.

Francini performed well, but he was still half a body length behind, which made Ferrara dare not be careless.

Oh shit.

Even if he was closer to his own penalty area, Ferrara felt that this ball was still a one-on-one opportunity.

Because the horizontal distance was more than four meters, he had no way to defend Lu Deyang on the left.

Bang——but at this moment, the outside of Lu Deyang's right toe rubbed the side of the ball.

The ball rolled towards him in a perfect parabola. Ferrara turned his head while running and following the trajectory of the ball, and a terrible thought came to his mind.

really.

The ball accurately found Chiesa on his right.

Chiesa didn't even have to stop or speed up. Samp's young striker didn't even need to adjust. He just pushed the ball with his right foot and it rolled towards the far corner of the goal. Even Giovanni Galli quickly got down to the ground but couldn't stop the ball.
