Chiesa, who didn't expect to score a goal, was stunned.

Then he turned around and rushed to the sidelines frantically.

Lu Deyang discovered that a nut fell out of Chiesa's clothes while he was running.

If this was captured by British journalists, they could at least write a new "Westworld".

But King Lu knows that Chiesa is "Grand Theft Auto".

Compared to that game, Chiesa's "car hunting" ability is obviously stronger.

"Don't you want to score a goal today?"

Mancini asked curiously.

Lu Deyang rarely makes consecutive assists.

After all, it is not an opportunity for others, but it is not difficult for Lu Deyang.

It is a problem in itself that you can score a goal but give it up.

"No, I just feel it's better to give it to my teammates." Lu Deyang smiled and patted Mancini on the shoulder and said, "I don't have that much obsession with scoring goals. Anyway, I can score when I want to."

Mancini: …

He admired Lu Deyang for this.

Just a casual word can reach a height that others can hardly reach.

The most important thing is that he told the truth.

Any random thing that happened to Lu Deyang could be something a player could brag about for the rest of his life.

Mancini couldn't help but sigh that Lu Deyang was a bit outrageous.

Because it was difficult for him to find any problems with Lu Deyang. This bastard seemed to completely fit the definition of an idol in this era.

Even if he has any scandals, fans will be more tolerant.

As for the God of Naples, he hasn't been hanging out as often recently, so the newspapers suspect that there's something wrong with his lower body.

This is the difference in the attitudes of the media and fans towards the two sides.

Shortly after Napoli restarted the game, the referee blew the whistle.

Maradona kicked the ball out of the sideline in annoyance.

Referees rarely call this.

Or they don’t even give the final time and end it a few seconds or dozens of seconds earlier.

Either let the team with the ball make an attack, or let the ball be exchanged before the call is made.

After all, the game needs to be controlled by the referee, rather than everything being strictly implemented according to the rules. It is also important to control the smoothness of the game and the emotions of the players and fans of both sides.

Chiesa remained active after scoring the goal.

Talking about his recent relationship experience in the locker room.

"That boy seems to be popular with women."

Vialli said with a smile.

"He's better looking than you."

Mancini complained.

His best friend has a too big nose.

Vialli rolled his eyes and said, "I just don't like to play around. When we played in the nightclub before, I was no worse than you."

"This is your fantasy buddy."

Mancini pointed at his own face and cursed: "If you are as popular as me, there is only one reason: Italians are short-sighted!"

Parry came over and said, "Did you hear that the Mafia hired a detective to follow the judge, but they were reported."

"Damn it, there should be laws to protect personal information."

Vialli cursed: "I remember two years ago there was a female star named Rebecca Shaffer who was killed because the referee sold her information to fanatical fans."

"Fans are different from the mafia."

Mancini said.

“But the results they pursue are similar.”

"Anyone who sells someone else's personal information should be hanged," Vialli stressed.

“Unfortunately, this is difficult to achieve.”

Lu Deyang said

"So I always feel that people should protect themselves."

Vialli said: "There is a doomsday fortress under my house, and I have stored a lot of weapons. I am not afraid even if I really encounter any danger."

"It was taken out before you even got to the basement."

Mancini complained.

Underground fortifications themselves are a false proposition.

Unless you have been living underground all your life, there is no point in running inside when there is danger.

The topic of the end of the world was discussed again in the locker room.

Such topics are always discussed in this era.

Europeans were indeed worried that the Soviet Union would suddenly go crazy and drop nuclear bombs everywhere.

Who the hell could have known that the Soviet Union would disappear just like that.

After a fifteen-minute break, players from both teams returned to the field.

"Please believe in my loyalty, just as I believe in you. Life, life is shining!"

"Soldier in Love" was played at the São Paulo Stadium.

Napoli does not have an official team song, this one is the most popular song.

The song is catchy and has a brisk rhythm.

It makes people want to hum along.

But this tune did not bring any relief to the Napoli players. Shortly after the start of the second half, they launched a crazy attack.

It is very urgent to equalize the score.

After failing to find opportunities repeatedly, Maradona once again tried to solve the problem with his personal ability.

He took the ball and made a run forward in the center circle.

Pari was the first to meet him.

Even though he was rested due to fatigue and sat on the bench for a long time today, he still has plenty of energy.

Maradona dribbled the ball in a small area and then made a strong breakthrough.

Perry, knowing that he would be passed, chased after him.

Redondo came up to defend very quickly, and Maradona was forced to slow down.

In just a moment, Parry crashed into it.

Maradona is not tall, but his center of gravity is very stable, which all Serie A defensive players know.

Parry didn't expect to complete the steal with just one physical contact.

He quickly stretched out his hand to prevent Maradona from starting, then turned and stretched his foot.

Redondo stretched out his foot almost at the same time.

The two men blocked all directions, and Maradona really had no way to continue dribbling the ball.

At this time he made his own choice.

He immediately moved his left foot and passed the ball, but was kicked by Redondo.

This ball was given quite exquisitely.

But young Zora still had a problem.

That is, Viljoward watched very closely and did not give him any chance at all.

As soon as Zola received the ball, Verchowade immediately followed him.

The most important thing is that Verchoward chose to squeeze Zola's body from the side, so that if he fell to the ground, he would fall outside the penalty area, and he would not be able to get a penalty even if he wanted to.

The two people entangled towards the bottom line.

Zola stopped suddenly and wanted to find an opportunity to pass the ball, but he didn't expect that Verchois stopped faster than him.

It was as if she knew exactly what he was thinking.

This discovery made Zola lose his patience a little, and he rushed into the small penalty area with his left foot.

Viljoward stretched out his foot and successfully kicked the ball out.

Zora hit his shin and fell down herself.

beep—

“I touched the ball first!”

Viljoward raised his hands and explained to the referee.

In case the referee didn't see it clearly, this may still have some effect.

It’s not difficult to explain it anyway.

"Don't try to cheat a penalty, get up quickly."

Materazzi lowered his head and said.

Being tall and strong, he put a lot of pressure on Zola.

Fortunately, the referee came up quickly, stopped the Sampdoria players and said, "This is not a penalty, everyone return to your positions."

Zora finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That Materazzi was clearly just an adult, a few years younger than him.

But that guy doesn't look like a good person.

"Are you okay, Gianfranco?"

Careka asked.

Zora shook her head.

Compared to the psychological damage, his body did not suffer much harm.

Being continuously marked by Verchois made him lose confidence in his next breakthrough.

Luckily this time the referee blew the whistle.

Otherwise, if Sampdoria lost the ball, they would have launched a counterattack.

You won’t be so lucky next time.

Pagliuca kicked the ball out of the penalty area and Virchowd quickly passed it to Lanner.

Lanner started rushing forward immediately after receiving the ball.

Padovano rushed toward Lanner and stretched out his arms to keep his balance.

Another benefit of this action is that it can prevent the opponent from starting quickly.

This made Lanna a little irritated.

Thinking of Lu Deyang's previous success, Lanner's eyes immediately lit up.

He kicked the ball forward with his left foot and went around the penalty area.

Padovano was dumbfounded. De Napoli took a look and rushed to Lanner, asking his teammates to take over Lu Deyang.

Choosing between defending two people is not a difficult thing at all.

And he had legitimate reasons. He couldn't just leave Lanna unguarded.

Lanner dribbled the ball very quickly, but fortunately De Napoli was already used to Lu Deyang's speed defense, so there were no surprises.

The two people got entangled on the sidelines.

DeNapoli got in position first, and Lanner couldn't speed up.

So he made a quick stop and immediately passed the ball sideways to Redondo at the top of the arc.

At this time, Lu Deyang will be closely watched, so giving the ball to Redondo is the best choice.

Alemão was prepared for this and rushed directly towards Redondo.

Redondo was not in a hurry to pass the ball, but adjusted himself before kicking the ball out.

Lu Deyang slowed down to receive the ball, then immediately turned his back to De Napoli, waited for the ball to roll to his toes, kicked it up with his foot, and then knocked the ball under with the instep of his foot.

The ball passed Napoli's defense and flew directly into the penalty area.

There was a cry of surprise at the São Paulo Stadium.

Fortunately, Giovanni Galli managed to grab the ball before Chiesa.

"It was so close. Dejan almost assisted Chiesa again."

"Yes, Chiesa was not slow, but he obviously didn't realize Dejan would pass the ball and was a step slower when he started."

"It's a pity that Dejan's wonderful pass didn't turn into an assist. Many times I was worried about Dejan's mental state because he always seemed so lonely on the court. Even with 10 teammates, few could keep up with his thinking."

"Chiesa's performance today proved that again, so I like to say Dejan leads his teammates because that's the truth."

Chiesa gave Lu Dejan a thumbs up.

This ball was indeed his problem.

If it starts faster, it will be available.

The director gave the camera to Maradona.

The anxiety on Napoli's No. 10's face became more and more obvious, but he was still trying to control his emotions.

This made his face look a little distorted.

Ranieri has returned to the coaching bench because he has a clear feeling that today's game has been lost.

Even without considering the technical and tactical level of the players on both sides.

Just by looking at the expressions of the two teams' ace players, you can get a rough idea.

The young coach recalled that he didn't seem to have much expression when watching Lu Deyang's video tape.

I don’t know if Lu Deyang is better at controlling himself, or if losing the ball really doesn’t cause him to have any emotional fluctuations.

In this era of terrible visuals, watching a video only gives you a rough idea of what’s going on.

A few minutes later, Sampdoria intercepted the ball again in the backcourt.

Just as Lanner was about to dribble the ball from the left, he was tackled by Padovano.

The opponent interrupted Sampdoria's counterattack opportunity with a frontcourt foul.

By the time Sampdoria kicked off from the backcourt, the Napoli players had already returned to their own penalty area.

Lanna could only start again and organize in the backcourt. After Padovano came up, he gave the ball to Redondo, but Redondo made a rare mistake in passing and gave the ball directly to Alemao's feet.

Parry rushed towards Maradona immediately.

Maradona also knew that he was the focus of defense, so he ran to the wing.

De Napoli received the ball and passed it to Alemao again, who kicked the ball to the side.

Maradona lowered his head from the right and the ball chased towards the goal. Careca made a forward header and sent the ball into the goal.

boom--

The São Paulo Stadium, which had been silent for half a day, became lively again.

Napoli fans kept shouting the names of Careca and Maradona.

Alemão and Careca were no better than the Italian players on the team, but they could always cooperate better with Maradona, which is why they were collectively known as the South American Three.

If you want to stand out in a team, you can either be the core of the team or the core's wingman.

After the assist, Maradona showed a maturity that was inconsistent with his character. He was excited but at the same time restrained his urge to show off. He immediately reminded his teammates not to celebrate and to equalize the score as soon as possible.

Under normal circumstances, even if he was behind, he would still look at Lu Deyang, wanting to get more information from Lu Deyang's eyes.

This is also a kind of showing off.

But this time he completely ignored Lu Deyang and just urged his teammates to kick off as soon as possible.

The desire to win has taken over Maradona's heart at this moment.

Such a rational and calm Maradona is scary.

Lu Deyang had to clap his hands and shout to remind his teammates to be careful.

"There is only one goal between the two sides."

"That will allow Napoli to attack even more frantically."

"Redondo's passing error this time may be due to fatigue. He is the player with the second most appearances for Sampdoria after Pari. More importantly, Redondo's average running distance per game is much greater than Pari, and his physical energy consumption is greater."

"Yes, the Argentine covers a large area. He rarely penetrates the opponent's penalty area. He passes the ball out in front of the opponent's penalty area, but it is common for him to return to his own penalty area."

"Yes, Redondo runs very hard. Even if Virchowd and Pagliuca can resolve the crisis in many cases, he will run back to the penalty area and will not stay there afraid of running in vain. This is a very important point. So sometimes we see him clearing the ball near the penalty area, it is because he runs enough." As football practitioners, Rossi and the others praised Redondo generously.

The development of football has evolved from the WM formation of 5 forwards and 5 defenders to Michels' all-out attack and defense. At this time, many teams have realized the importance of midfield.

I just haven't figured out what kind of midfield would be more suitable.

In this era, they only have the number nine and a half positions and attacking midfielder to choose from, so Pirlo's attacking midfielder position is so representative.

The advantage of the organizing position being closer to the back is huge in terms of vision. Another point is the solid defensive positional warfare. It is less likely to be intercepted when holding the ball in front of the back line.

In the following time, Naples launched a crazy counterattack.

Lu Deyang also started to return to defense to provide assistance to his teammates.

Compared with Chiesa and Mancini, Lu Deyang has a much better sense of position.

He was often able to destroy Maradona's offensive opportunities in the first place.

As time went on, Lu Deyang once again cooperated with Lanner to block Maradona's pass. Maradona kicked Lanner down when he counterattacked.

He asked angrily, "Shouldn't you go to the front court to participate in the attack? You are the biggest favorite for the Ballon d'Or."

"No one says defensive players can't win the Ballon d'Or. If you don't believe me, just look at Yashin and Beckenbauer," Lu Deyang said with a smile.

"Damn it, one day you'll drive me crazy. If I become mentally ill, you'll be the murderer!"

Maradona said angrily.

Only one goal away, but unable to equalize.

This feeling is as maddening as if a beautiful woman is in front of you but you don't react.

Ranieri looked at the field.

I still couldn't help but shake my head and sigh.

Maradona is indeed a genius.

But when it comes to emotional control, he is no match for Lu Deyang.

After only a short while, Maradona's temper flared up.

This shattered Ranieri's newly ignited hope.

It is not wise to pin the team's hopes on a player who has lost his composure, even if the other player is a genius.

But he had no other options.

Sampdoria, who focused on defense, played the most typical Italian football.

There are almost no loopholes in defense.

At this time, we can only rely on the players' personal abilities to break the deadlock.

The young coach who was born in Rome was both excited and worried. He didn't have high hopes for today's game, but this score still made him want to get a point at home.

"It's already injury time. Boskov didn't replace Dejan today."

"Maradona put too much pressure on them, and Sampdoria didn't have any suitable substitutes. If Lombardo replaced Dejan, I'm sure Sampdoria would lose the ball immediately. When it comes to restricting Maradona, Matthäus and Dejan are the two best players, but Matthäus is a midfielder and Dejan is a winger!"

It's hard to believe.

Even the three musketeers, Gullit and Rijkaard, were not as good as Lu Deyang in defending Maradona.

The fans in front of the TV felt that Lu Deyang could see through Maradona's thoughts, so he could always prepare for Maradona's next step in advance.

Maradona dribbled the ball towards Sampdoria's half again.

But the frequent sprints still consumed a lot of his physical energy.

Shortly after passing the midfield, he felt his feet go weak, and Maradona quickly passed the ball to Careca.

Materazzi suddenly started and rushed forward to steal the ball.

This made the Napoli fans open their eyes wide.

Is there such a thing?

Zola and Careca counterattacked quickly, and Materazzi quickly passed the ball to Mannini on the right.

Mannini's pass was a bit too big, Parry took it back to the backcourt, and then made a diagonal pass behind the center line.

Lu Deyang received the ball sideways and immediately rushed across the center line.

Even near the end of the game, his speed still made Napoli fans feel a little scared.

"Shh!"

The loudest boos of the day were heard at the São Paulo Stadium.

They were afraid that Lu Deyang would kill their hopes of equalizing the score.

Snapped--

Lu Deyang knocked the ball forward and accelerated again.

There are no defenders around him so he doesn't have to be too careful when dribbling the ball.

De Napoli saw Lu Deyang slow down after getting the ball again and rushed over quickly.

click -

Lu Deyang easily avoided the pressure from Napoli's midfielder with a flick of his right foot, and also jumped over De Napoli's outstretched foot.

He took the ball towards the penalty area again, and Napoli's defense gathered around him.

Ferrara, Pusedo and Francini were blocking the penalty area line.

Redondo stood at the top of the arc ready to support, and Chiesa, who was also on the penalty area line, was running sideways to get forward.

The moment Chiesa saw Lu Deyang raise his foot, he rushed into the penalty area quickly.

boom--

But it was a shot, a beautiful arc from Lu Deyang, the ball flying between Pussetto and Francini and arcing straight towards the Napoli goal. Giovanni Galli correctly judged the defensive line but misjudged the height, and the ball flew over his left arm into the goal.

beep,
beep,
Beep - there were 13 seconds left in the game, but the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Almost instantly, all Sampdoria players rushed towards Lu Deyang.

The substitutes rushed into the field excitedly.

The suspense of this game remained until the last second, but Lu Deyang was still the same Lu Deyang and did not give his opponent any chance.

"Dejan!!!!!!!!!!"

"Dejan scored a goal in the final minutes. He had three assists and one goal today, creating four goals and killing Napoli."

"This was the most difficult match I've ever had commentating for Dejan. Maradona was like a demigod on the pitch today. His frequent breakthroughs caused huge trouble for Sampdoria. He was always able to pass the ball to his teammates at the right time, and his organizational skills also played a very important role."

"But we should all have heard similar plots in mythology. No matter how hard the demigods try, they cannot escape the shackles of fate. There is an insurmountable gap between demigods and gods. If Maradona is the demigod of football, then Dejan is the god of green. On the green field, no one can beat the team led by Dejan."

Maradona stood there with his hands on his hips, staring at Lu Deyang who was surrounded by his teammates.

After looking for a few seconds, he lowered his head.

If you lose, you lose.

But he played very smoothly in today's game.

This is a feeling my body hasn't had in a long time.

Maradona took the initiative to walk over, took off his jersey, handed it to Lu Deyang and said, "Change your jersey."

Fearing that Lu Deyang would think he had given up, Maradona quickly added: "Hanging your jersey at home will make me more motivated. I will definitely beat you next time."

"I've heard that several times."

Mancini complained.

Maradona was a little discouraged.

Under any other circumstances he would have cursed.

It is not right for a younger brother to interrupt when his elder brother is talking.

But Mancini was telling the truth.

Harsh words said too many times will become a joke.

"Okay, but remember to work harder. I get up at 4 a.m. to train," Lu Deyang joked.

"Only a fool would believe that."

Maradona complained.

After seeing the report, he also tried flipping eggs at home.

After playing with and breaking thousands of eggs, he determined that this could not happen.

It would be almost the same if I changed it to an orange, but it would be impossible to keep the orange from breaking.

After taking Lu Deyang's jersey, he put it directly on his shoulders and walked towards the player tunnel.

"Diego!"

Even after losing the game, the fans still showed their support for Maradona.

Maradona was about to go straight into the tunnel when he remembered Lu Deyang's approach. He stopped and waved to the fans before walking towards the locker room.

"That guy feels that he and you are arch-enemies, just like me and Baggio, but the gap between him and you is even bigger than that between me and Baggio," Mancini complained again.

Vialli avoided his good friend immediately.

Sometimes he couldn't tell whether this guy was really stupid or shameless.

Vialli was determined to expose Mancini when he had the chance.

Otherwise, if this bastard keeps bragging for ten or twenty years, new fans will really think that he is as good as Baggio.

"Deyang, are you going to the press conference?"

Boskov asked.

"Forget it coach, I'm a little tired."

Lu Deyang said.

In fact, 10,000 meters is not a lot for him.

But normally I play for 30 minutes, but suddenly I have to play for 90 minutes. Even if I am physically fit, I still feel a little tired mentally.

Oh shit.

Napoli fans made a lot of money today.

Others who buy tickets can only watch the second half of the game played by King Lu.

With one ticket, they saw King Lu play four times as long as usual.

If Napoli fans hadn't been so barbaric, Lu Deyang would have really wanted to go to the press conference and ask them to buy additional tickets.

Boskov called Redondo away.

Lu Deyang took his teammates to the away fans' stands to express his gratitude.

……

When the reporters saw that it was Redondo, they couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

But the British guy was still very capable and raised topical questions at the first opportunity.

"Fernando, who do you think is better, Dejan or Maradona?"

"Did you refuse the call-up to the national team because you hate the Argentine team with Maradona at its core?"

"What do you think is the difference between Argentina and Sampdoria, Fernando?"

"Who was Napoli's most threatening player today?"

"Mr. Ranieri, do you think the biggest reason for the loss is that Maradona is not as good as Dejan?"

"..."

Boskov's heart skipped a beat.

I didn't expect that letting Redondo attend the press conference would cause trouble.

If you don't give a good answer to these questions asked by reporters, it will make the headlines tomorrow.

The most important thing is that Redondo's personality is a bit difficult to deal with, and he might really give reporters something to talk about.

Boskov quickly said: "Both teams played very well today and displayed a very high level of skills and tactics. Diego Maradona and Dejan are both among the best players in Serie A. They have different styles, but they are both very important to their respective teams. There is no need to compare them."

"I think so."

Ranieri said.

He is not a very aggressive person, and the reporter's questions made him a little annoyed.

"But there won't be two winners on a football field, and the data between players won't be the same, so who is stronger between the two of them?" a reporter asked.

“Data doesn’t tell the whole story.”

Boskov said.

"You mean Dejan can't prove he's better than Maradona no matter how many goals he scores?"

asked the reporter from the UK.

Boskov's expression changed immediately.

Even if Lu Deyang has a good temper, he can't answer this question casually.

While he was thinking, Redondo grabbed the microphone and said, "Your head is full of shit. Dejan can often score 5 goals against big teams. When can Maradona do it once? Then compare with Dejan."

Boskov: ...

He knew something was going to happen.

But he still couldn't control himself.

Sometimes it’s not good for young people to be too individualistic.

He is more worried about Redondo's future with the national team than the controversy.

Maradona is the undisputed big brother of Argentina.

"You mean Maradona is not as good as Dejan, right?"

the reporter asked.

"Yes, I have made it very clear."

Redondo said.

He didn't even bother to add that Maradona was also excellent.

"But Maradona is your compatriot."

The reporter reminded.

"If I tell a lie because he's Argentinian, then Caniggia is a better player than George Best. But do you think that's possible?"

Redondo asked rhetorically.

boom--

So cool!
The reporters were thrilled.

They like Redondo's character so much.

Unexpectedly, he not only criticized Maradona, but also offended Caniggia with his first words.

This is tantamount to cutting oneself off from the Argentina national team.

Even though he is very strong, the bosses still have to save face.

You have named them, so how can they face you if they let you into the national team?

A reporter asked, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to make the national team if you say that?"

"Do I have to lie just to be selected for the national team? If that's the case, there's no point in being selected for the national team." Redondo said with some disdain: "No one, whether it's a current player or a retired player, can be compared to Dejan. The statistics don't lie. Those legends are so famous only because they were born earlier and were not in the same era as Dejan."

Boskov rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

tired.

Just say whatever you want to say.

This kid’s fighting ability is too strong, he really can’t save the situation.

Redondo did dare to say it.

He doesn't care whether they are active players or celebrities.

Sometimes Boskov even wondered what was going on with this guy.

It's hard to believe that he would refuse the call-up to the national team.

Is this the generation gap?

He leaned back in his chair and let Redondo play.

It's already like this, the situation can't get any worse.

Just when he was about to give up, Boskov heard a question.
