Chapter 324: Super Lako!
The Spanish media are optimistic about a home win for Deportivo La Coruna, but, interestingly, in the current La Liga standings, Deportivo La Coruna have one point less points than Sporting Gijón, two places behind Sporting Gijón. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since the start of the season, Deportivo La Coruna has not started well, with two wins, two draws and two defeats, including a one-five defeat to defending champions Valencia, but in the last two rounds, Deportivo La Coruna's form has begun to pick up, drawing with Real Betis in the fifth round of the league, and then beating Real Madrid 1-0 away in the sixth round of the league.
Countless people came on the day of the game, and the Riazor Stadium was crowded and brightly lit outside, and the Riazor Stadium, which can accommodate 34,611 people, had an attendance rate of more than 90 percent today.
Deportivo La Coruna's opponent Sporting Gijón is not a strong team, and such a matchup is not a focal point, so many fans can come to watch the game, even the commentator was surprised.
"The Riazor Stadium was almost full and it was a surprisingly interesting match. Commentator Dagstino said as he looked at the crowding team.
"The away win against Real Madrid has ignited the enthusiasm of the Deportivo fans, who are hungry for a good win against promoted Sporting Mahjón. Gonzalez said.
"Coach Leon will be unhappy when he sees this scene. Dagstino laughed, and his partner laughed as well.
***********
As the fans entered the stadium one after another, the two teams were sitting in the dressing room and getting ready.
"I don't need to say much about what kind of team Deportivo has in Deportivo Ia. Deportivo La Coruna have a strong attacking prowess, and there is no way out against such an opponent. Leon stood in front of the players, "So, I'm going to attack away from home.
Teammates looked at the Croatian and there was speculation as to who would replace Juan Mata after his injury, but it was clear from the two days of training that Luka Modric would replace Javier Blanco in the starting line-up.
Modric held back the excitement in his heart and nodded vigorously. This will be his first start for Sporting Gijón, and Mata's injury is a big headache for Leon, but it is a good opportunity for other players such as Luka Modric to perform.
Leon drew the midfield position on the tactical board and wrote Modric's name on the right.
"In this game, you're going to have a lot of defensive tasks, Marcos needs you to help defensively, and your main task is to. Leon nodded Albertini's name on the board.
"Protect Demi?" asked Modric, who had previously been tasked with protecting Albertini, and seeing Leon nodding, he nodded, "I see, Coach!"
Leon hesitated for a moment, then added, "In addition, if ...... If you have the chance, you can plug in and attack, and as for the timing, you can grasp it yourself!"
Modric nodded.
***********
Leang sighed in his heart, with Carlos on the field, this kid's defensive sweep is very large, can provide protection for the attack in the frontcourt, Mata does not need to take on too many defensive tasks, now, Carlos is suspended, Leon can only send Marcos, however, Marcos's type of back is conscientious and sticks to the middle, and the coverage is smaller than Carlos, at this time Modric is needed to help defend, which is bound to reduce the offensive power of Sporting Gijon.
In a sense, Carlos' absence has had a greater impact on the team than Mata.
"Well, I mean there's a chance...... On the premise of defending well, do you understand, Luka?" Leon thought for a moment, and finally had to remind Modric that he was worried about the rise of Modric who got the start, and only cared about participating in the attack.
Luka Modric nodded, "I understand, coach. ”
"Also...... Marcos." Leon called Marcos' name. With Carlos suspended, Marcos will be the biggest barrier for the Sporting Gijón midfield.
"Protect the midfield! I understand, boss!" Marcos said.
Leon looked at him, then nodded: "Yes, your job is the same as before, and you have to work a little harder in the midfield." ”
Then, Leon glanced at Albertini again, and the latter nodded, indicating that he understood what to do, and Leon smiled, this is the role of veterans, sometimes you don't need to say anything at all, they will understand.
Leon named Ribery again, "Frank, you are on the left side, today I ask you to be extra active, don't you like to pass people, today you can enjoy passing people, your task is to disrupt the right side of Deportivo La Coruna." ”
"To what extent, is it messy?" asked Ribery.
"Huh?" In the face of the strong enemy Deportivo La Coruna, the atmosphere in the locker room was originally a little solemn, Ribery suddenly said this, Leon was stunned at first, and then laughed hilariously, "That's right, just do that, you can mix it up as you want." Don't you feel like a bird in a cage, fly today. ”
"I'm not a little bird, I'm a big bird. Ribery muttered.
A burst of laughter erupted in the locker room.
***********
Compared with the slightly dignified atmosphere in the dressing room of Sporting Gijón, the atmosphere in the dressing room of Deportivo La Coruna is relatively lively, although the start of the season is relatively average, but the team's recent form has rebounded, especially the 1-0 away defeat to Real Madrid in the last round, which has brought Deportivo back to spirit, their players' self-confidence has risen, and they say to themselves that they are still the Super Laco that makes many European giants tremble!
Irueta stood in the middle of the players, who had already changed their jerseys.
Irueta didn't have a great time as a player, but his performances as a coach were quite impressive, not counting this new season, Irueta has been in charge of Atlético Deportivo for seven years, which is very rare in the very utilitarian modern football circle. In the past 7 years, Irueta has become the "godfather" of the team, and he has made a name for himself in Deportivo La Coruna!
Of course, Irueta is also entitled to such special treatment, and before Irueta arrived at Aportico A Coruña, Atroletico La Coruna was only a team that shocked Spain. Irueta turned the team into a superdepor, or even a champion, who led the team to the first Spanish Primera League title in the club's history, as well as a Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups.
Irueta once told reporters that if it weren't for Belleron, he wouldn't have played 4231.
This sentence shows both his love for Bellerón and the conceit of this man.
Because of the fact that he had Belleron, he firmly played 4231.
Deportivo La Coruna's 4231 is a typical 4231, two wingers who are good at breaking through plus a classic forward and a strong center, two backs to escort, this lineup has become tacit and stable after the initial adjustment, Mauro in the middle has a good sense of position, mainly as a barrier and link to the team, he generally gives the ball to the front of the Belleron, Sergio is running all over the field, making up for interceptions everywhere, and also responding everywhere, the forward Belleron often returns to the center circle to get the ball, and then stuffs the ball to both sides, or helps the fullback of the assist to cooperate with the forward, Belleron, who doesn't seem to run, sometimes creates excellent killing opportunities in the frontcourt's inadvertent counter-robberies.
Luke on the left prefers to insert into the box to look for opportunities, leaving space for Romero to assist, while Victor on the right is roaming the touchline and rarely cutting inside.
In addition, Laco's defense is solid, the side is almost impossible to break, because there are always two people entangled with each other, the middle is also very solid, at least two players protect the position of the middle, coupled with the team's steady and tacit ball control, the opponent can get few opportunities.
It is worth mentioning that counter-attacking is also one of Laco's main attacking routines, with two sharp wings and Belleron's bizarre passing, Laco's counter-attacking quality has been very high. With three almost indispensable players in the squad, Andrade and Mauro Silva and Belleron in central defence, Andrade and Mauro were absent for the first time in the second leg of the 2004 UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
And now, stars such as Andrade, Mauro Silva and Belleron are healthy, and Deportivo has a full squad and is back in form, which can be said to be full of morale.
Therefore, Irueta has a lot of confidence in his team.
The team's performance in the new season was not good, and Irueta also held his breath, after the 1-0 away win over Real Madrid, it was a breath of relief, but, in Iruetta's view, to make everyone remember the horror of Super Laco again, they still need to stand up, and they need to use a big win to stand up.
And now, the promoted Ma, Sporting Gijón, has become the object of Sporting Gijón in Iruetta!
At this moment, Irueta looked at his players, and his cold eyes swept over everyone, "Half game, my request is that by the end of half time, the balance of victory has been completely tilted!"
Sporting Gijón, if you want to blame it, blame your bad luck. With his head held slightly high, Irueta left his player and walked down the players' corridor to the dugout. (To be continued.) )
