Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Collapse (I)

However, the fans didn't buy it, with less than 10,000 fans entering the stadium, making the 34,000-seat Riazor Stadium look empty, and they didn't show much enthusiasm and didn't let out a frightening cry before the game. On the contrary, the three hundred Elche diehards in the West Stand have been shouting frantically, and they seem to be very loud, but the fans of Laco are all scoffing at this, and they all have the same thought: "This group of hillbillies will soon know how good we are!"

Laco didn't stick to Lorena's favourite 5-4-1 formation today, as Elco wasn't a strong team and it was too appalling for them to play defensive counter-attacks, so they went straight to the traditional 4-4-2 for the game.

Goalkeeper Alansouvia, the central defenders are Lopo and Portuguese Castro, the left wingback is Barragán, the right is guarded by Brazilian Filipe, the midfielder Sergio is dragging behind, the left is Lafitta, who has been in the limelight recently, the right is No. 10 Berdu, the forward is the veteran Belleron, the strikers are still their strongest Ricky and Bodipo, and the high hopes of Bravo and Mista, who have just transferred this year, are still shelved, and last year's top scorer Sisko has just recovered from injury so he is not in the squad.

This lineup is already the most ferocious that Laco can come up with, and compared to him, the lineup sent by Elche is the same as the last game, Ai Huan is still placed on the bench, which surprises many people, including Lorena, who has been prepared for a long time, can't figure out what medicine is in Uribe's gourd.

Before the game, he had already noticed the top scorer in La Liga, and also made special arrangements, with Lopo to closely mark the defense Philippe and assist him, but then he suddenly felt a little aimless, and couldn't help but look at Elche's bench and wonder what the opponent was paying attention to.

Without Ai Huan, Elche is only second-rate in La Liga, where can it be compared with the second-rate team in La Liga, Deportivo La Coruna? In less than ten minutes of the opening game, he was completely caught in a passive situation, and all of them were pressed into their second half, and they couldn't even do the most basic counterattack.

Although Laco's special arrangement has lost its effect, he still plays well and does not care at all, with the two midfielders repeatedly attacking Elche from the flanks and frequently switching positions with the two forwards. The role of midfield commander Bellerón is even greater, almost every pass can give the opponent a huge threat, compared to Estrada completely lost his luster, although she and Belleron are eight years apart, but not a first-class player at all.

It didn't take long for the deadlock to be broken. Eleven minutes Belleron stuffed the ball into the box, Ricky's shot was blocked by Maccano, but Lafitta, who followed behind, made it 1-0.

It was just five minutes before Laco made a comeback, this time with Rafita dropping the ball into the box on the flank, instantly disrupting Elche's back, and Bodipo seized the opportunity to make it 2-0 after a series of shabble defences.

After that, Laco's attack was still sharp, and wave after wave of attacks beat Elche to the point of being powerless, but there was no way at all, that is, their shooting skills were too poor, otherwise they would have fallen behind by ten goals in the first half.

The on-site commentator also teased the game very leisurely: "God testify, I really hope that our team will meet Elche every week in the future." ”

Forty minutes later, Laco took the lead again, this time by Sergio, who headed straight at a corner to make it 3-0 before half-time.

This goal ignited the atmosphere in the stadium, and the fans of Laco sang and danced and did not know how to vent their excitement, while the Elche fans who had been trying to shout before were silent, as if they were dead, although they all thought that this game would be difficult, but no one expected it to be so ugly, and all the players on the field became headless flies, and they could not find any direction at all.

In the lounge, Uribe turned into a hair dryer and scolded one by one, and the players were all depressed, and not a single player said a word for fifteen minutes, this oppressive atmosphere made Uribe at a loss, and he was the first to escape from the lounge when the opening time of the second half came.

Nothing changed in the second half, in the face of Deportivo Lacoruna's repeated attacks, Elche was completely casual, in response to the old saying that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, no matter how you do, I don't care about it, what can you do?

Lolena also saw that Elche wanted to give up the game, so he directly replaced Belleron with Mexican star Bravo to keep his main veteran in better physical condition. Bravo is also full of grievances, he used to score at least a dozen or twenty goals a year when he played in Mexico, and he was a complete goal machine.

But everything has changed since he joined Deportivo La Coruna for 3.5 million, he seems to have lost his shooting boots all of a sudden, he can't find the feeling of scoring goals, and he has only scored one goal in the league after playing for so long. He knew he had to settle into the team as soon as possible so that he could stay at Laco and stay in Europe.

So when he knew that he was going to play, he made up his mind to perform well, and if he couldn't make contributions to such a team, he would be really in danger. So since he came on the field, he began to attack frantically, and for a while, it really caused a big mess in Elche's rear.

Originally, Laco's players also felt that since the opponent had given up, they didn't need to pull hatred, but as soon as they saw Bravo wanting to score so much, they began to deliberately help him find a fighter, and finally in the 70th minute, Berdu's diagonal pass sent the ball to Bravo's feet, and he used a very beautiful fish leap to make the score 4-0.
