Chapter 227: Hard Advertising

There is a good saying, those who are horizontal are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When a person can give up his life, then he will have nothing to fear.

The same goes for football teams.

When Deportivo La Coruna was down by one goal and Irueta decided to go out and fight hard, the kind of attacking ability shown by Super Laco was still quite amazing, even Atletico Madrid had to avoid the edge for a while.

But that doesn't mean Atletico Madrid is at a disadvantage.

Deportivo La Coruna's possession tactics up front relied on two players, one being Belleron in the front.

This player is known as Spain's Zinedine Zidane, not to mention his organizational ability and creativity, but his body is relatively thin and his lack of confrontation ability, which is the bottleneck of his ability to become a master-level midfield playmaker.

The other is Forlan, who is nominally a left winger, but is actually a wing-midfielder.

I still remember that when Aragonés mentioned Camacho's powerful Spanish national team to Gao Han, he focused on the midfield of this team at that time, with Guardiola organizing and combing behind, and Forlan and Belleron in the front court to control the ball and penetrate.

Camacho borrowed from Deportivo LaCoruna's tactics at the time.

Gao Han and the coaching staff were clear from the start that to limit Deportivo La Coruna, they had to cut off Belleron and Forlan.

Therefore, when Deportivo La Coruna launched a desperate counterattack, Atletico Madrid's midfielders Pep Guardiola, Marcos Senna and right-back Dario Srna consciously blocked Belleron and Forlan and cut the link between them.

Deportivo have a risky style of play, and when the two most important ball handlers in central midfield are contained by the opposition, their entire attack is thrown into disarray, with more passing errors occurring.

Atletico Madrid is at ease in the midfield, waiting for the right time and counter-attacking when they have the chance.

In the first half, the Bandoners did take advantage of a couple of good counter-attacking opportunities, but Deportivo also increased their defensive focus and failed to score again.

But in the 51st minute of the second half, Deportivo La Coruna, who had not been able to grasp the initiative of the game, became more impetuous, and finally showed a flaw, and was seized by Atletico Madrid with a counterattack.

On the counter-attack, Kaka broke through with the ball and split to the right side, Dario Srna quickly cut in the edge and crossed, Torres deliberately missed in front of the post, and Villa followed up with the push to hit.

Two to zero!

After taking a two-goal lead, Atletico Madrid played more patiently and Deportivo La Coruna came to his senses.

…………

…………

When the referee blew the final whistle, Irueta stood on the sidelines, his face calm.

In the stands, the home fans also seemed calmer.

Their anger had already been exhausted in the course of the game.

The whistle blows, the game is over, and it's a foregone conclusion.

What's more, Deportivo La Coruna's away results this season have been good, although they have not been ideal.

Prior to that, Super Laco had only lost one game at the Stadio Riazor, at home to Athletic Bilbao in the third round of the league, and Heynckes' side played very purposefully in this game, defending it well and relying on two defensive counter-attacks to make Deportivo laugh at home.

Against Atletico Madrid, it was the second home defeat of the season.

Deportivo fans can't blame this result and the decorated coach Iruetta.

Irueta looked at the pitch calmly, but had a decision in mind.

"This summer, we must change the team's stubborn problems!" Irueta said in a loud voice.

After the assistant listened, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Deportivo knows what is lacking in the team, in the opponents, and even in the media.

That is, there is more than possession of the ball, and there is no speed up.

If you don't get up to speed, no matter how much you control the ball, it's useless.

But it's not just that, it's not even the top problem, it's the backline, especially the centre-backs.

Deportivo La Coruna is not located in a big city, and its own finances are not well-off, and in recent years, the reason why the results have improved so much, and even passed the championship addiction in the two millennia, is due to the turmoil of Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the shrewd management of President Rendoiro in the nineties, which accumulated a certain financial base in the nineties, and then took advantage of the turmoil of opponents at the beginning of the century to increase investment.

For example, taking advantage of the fire to poach Belleron, Molina and Capdevilla from Atletico Madrid is quite a shrewd deal.

Deportivo earned enough money from the transfer fee from selling Flavio to Real Madrid to buy the three players.

But now, the age structure of the team has begun to gradually age, and if you want to maintain the competitiveness of the top four in the league, you must not only not sell people, but also increase the recruitment efforts to replenish the team's fresh blood.

With Deportivo Ia's financial resources, every transaction has to be cautious.

If, as Irueta said, the team is going to fill all the problems in the summer, then it is estimated that the club will have to at least invest more.

Whether it is a speedy attacker in the front field or a central defender, for Deportivo La Coruna, without an investment of more than 20 million euros, it is absolutely impossible to fill these two positions.

And to convince the club to invest 20 million euros, it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble.

Iruetta also knew this, but she was very emotional, and even looked at Gao Han with some envy.

To put it bluntly, Atletico Madrid is nowhere near as invested by other teams in the upper middle of La Liga, but they have a team that is enviably strong and, more frighteningly, very young.

That said, it's a very competitive team and at the same time very potential.

So, when he took the initiative to walk to the coach's seat of the away team, barely smiled, and congratulated Gao Han on his victory, he asked inquiringly: "Where did you dig up so many treasures?"

Gao Han won the ball, he was in a good mood, and he laughed constantly, "Want to bring in reinforcements?"

After getting Iruetta's nod, Gao Han smiled and advertised, "Portugal's players are good, you can ask my agent, he has a good way." ”

Iruetta smiled bitterly, is this advertisement too hard?

But Jorge Mendez's name, he's heard of it.

In the last year or so, the rising star has surpassed José Veiga to become one of Portugal's top agents, and it is said that the players under him are all good and very accurate.

Could it be ...... Alpine reinforcements rely on Mendes' recommendation?

Well, it's possible.

I heard that players including Villa, Kaka and Deco are all Mendes players.

Thinking of this, Irueta secretly made a note in her heart that she must tell Rondoroy about this person when she turns around.

…………

Atletico Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 away in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, which made countless Sheets fans very excited, and even many fans were looking forward to the team being able to give the sworn enemy a good look in the ******** of the sworn enemy.

But this match didn't attract much attention because of two big things happening in Spanish football.

One was the other game of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, where the star-studded Real Madrid were beaten by Heynckes' side by two goals away from home, and finally came home with a 1-2 defeat, which cast a shadow over the ********.

Despite being away, Real Madrid started the game dangerously, with Zinedine Zidane taking advantage of a mistake by Athletic Bilbao centre-back in the fourth minute to score and give the Galaxy the lead.

But in the second half, Athletic Bilbao launched a counterattack with two consecutive long passes from the back, and Echeberia and Urses broke through Casillas's goal respectively, reversed the score, and kept it until the end.

If you look at it purely from the score, Real Madrid still has a chance to return to the Bernabeu, but if you look at the whole game, especially after the second half leads, Bosque's conservatism and the slackness of Real Madrid's players make people feel that Athletic Bilbao may even cause an upset.

Real Madrid has invested heavily in ********, inviting sports celebrities from all over the world, as well as political and business celebrities from Europe and Spain, and even the King of Spain himself is in charge of the overall situation, which is unprecedented.

And the Copa del Rey final is the brightest jewel in this crown.

What a shame it would be if Real Madrid missed the final!

Because of this, many media, including the mouthpiece As, have criticized Real Madrid's performance, and also criticized Bosque's conservative tactics, believing that with Real Madrid's attacking power, it should be more aggressive.

Even Real Madrid general manager Baldano has come forward to say that the team is determined to win the Copa del Rey.

Coincidentally, something happened to the Galaxy Battleship, and the sworn enemy Barcelona did not have a good life.

Madrid TV 3 broke the shocking news that on Saturday night, the day before Barcelona's away match against Rayo Vallecano, five Barcelona players, two Dutchmen and three Spaniards, were partying all night in room 821 of the Esperia Hotel in Madrid.

The male protagonist is certainly famous, but the four female protagonists are also not far behind, including Romario's ex-girlfriend, the famous Spanish model Monroy.

As for what the five players and four women did in room 821, who knows?

But as soon as the media broke the news, the news immediately became the focus of attention all over Spain and even the world.

For a time, Barcelona's limelight even overshadowed Real Madrid.

"The house leak happened to rain overnight, and this season's Barcelona is over!"

This was Gao Han's first reaction after seeing the report.

The building was already on the verge of collapse, and now this scandal has become the last straw that crushes Barcelona.

How could Catalans, who have always been arrogant and conceited, accept such a scandal?

"In the final analysis, the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, the upper part is not right, and the lower part can get out of any moth. ”

Gao Han is now very glad that he was not seduced by Barcelona before, otherwise, he would have burned his ass by now.

As for the truth of this matter, whether it is true or false, who knows?

There may never even be an answer.

"Do you think there is any hope for Athletic Bilbao?" Cantarero asked with concern.

In the 28th round of the league, that is, on March 2, Atletico Madrid will take on Real Madrid away.

If Athletic Bilbao can knock out Real Madrid in an upset, then Atletico Madrid will have a relatively easy time.

But if the Galaxy Battleship successfully enters the final, the Madrid Derby reunites in the Copa del Rey final, of course, there is a gimmick, but two games against Real Madrid in four days are quite stressful.

At the very least, Atletico Madrid's bench is far less thick than Real Madrid's.

After hearing this, Gao Han looked at his right-hand man and smiled confidently.

"Whether it's a derby or a Copa del Rey final, no matter who we are, we always have one goal......

“…… Win!" (To be continued.) )
