Chapter 101

It is not surprising that such a weather vane suddenly appeared in the media, after all, Deportivo La Coruna directly dealt a heavy blow to the Ligue 1 club all night last night.

Before the game, everyone thought that Deportivo La Coruna and Monaco were evenly matched, but Deportivo had a bit of an advantage in the lineup, after all, there were still more big names in the calculation.

- Yes! Be!

None of them expected that Deportivo La Coruna would be so concerned about their first Champions League!

When all the live commentators got Deportivo La Coruna's starting list, they were stunned for a moment when they looked at it, and almost lost their voices at the same time: "[Beep-?!! ”

The reason for the need to silence is that the national scolding of various countries is so rich that it is impossible to translate all of them at once...... And specifically during the live broadcast, you still have to pay attention to your own public influence when you are the host!

Seeing Deportivo La Coruna's starting line-up, everyone wants to vomit blood!

"Ahem...... Frank coughed lightly, "Deportivo took out his ...... The most amazing combination. ”

"goalkeeper Diego López; defenders Capdevilla, Juan Sorín, Andrade, Nuno Maniche; midfielders Juan Vellerón, Fernando Redondo, Pablo Aimar, Juan Riquelme; Forwards Sousa Romario and Tiodoros Zagorakis......"

When the last name was pronounced, Frank almost bit his tongue: "My God, why is there a Greek here?!" ”

Dean was also silent for a while, and decided to follow in the footsteps of his partner and talk about the Greek problem: "Actually, Deportivo bought two Greeks at the beginning of the season, Greek defender Basinas only played 45 minutes in the first game of Deportivo against Las Palmas, and then was kept cold, and the captain of the Greek team, Zagorakis, did not make his Deportivo debut until today. ”

'The first game for the club was the Champions League and it was the first Champions League game for the club...... Although at first I was tempted to say that Juan didn't care too much about the two Greeks, but when I saw this lineup, I began to wonder again. ”

Indeed, under suspicion, looking at Deportivo La Coruna's eleven-man lineup, there is not a single weak chicken in it! …… Phew, not a single young man!

This means that everyone in this team can handle the ball maturely, such as the "impulsive young mistakes that Deportivo would have made in the past" should be absent in this game! Of those 11 people, at least 10 people have made a strong impression on everyone, and the only one is the Greek captain.

"But it's not a strange thing that Zagorakis is here," Frank comforted himself, "at least at Euro '04, Zagorakis' Greece drew with Juan Dias's Portugal twice...... Although at the end of the game, the Portuguese team ended the game with a very crazy formation. ”

Dean coughed lightly and quickly pulled the topic back: "Yes, that's right, Zagorakis can be said to be a very typical striker, and there are still a lot of things that can be done on the front line. ”

"And Deportivo has a midfield that's just too extravagant." Frank sighed, "Defense, organization, tandem, and offense, these four people can basically do it perfectly, and there are no obvious shortcomings...... The defense doesn't want to face the level, and Deportivo is too serious in this first game, right? ”

"I think it's good to be serious." Dean coughed lightly, "After all, it is a good omen to be able to win at the beginning, so it is understandable that Deportivo La Coruna put on such a formation. ”

- Understandable fart!!

The average age of Deportivo La Coruna's starters is almost twenty-eight, okay?!! Can you treat the elderly well?!! If you look closely, it's basically all players of the high-attack crispy series?!!

Deportivo This time is completely written in her own face with "Kick me in!" Is this really good?!

"Well, I don't know how many people Deportivo will hurt this time...... Frank sighed worriedly, and then turned to look at Monaco's starters, "Let's see what kind of lineup Monaco's head coach Didier Deschamps has put out." ”

Perhaps because it took too long on Deportivo LaCoruna's roster, the players on the pitch had already entered the pitch, and the two teams were ready to sing the team song, Frank immediately bowed his head as soon as he saw this scene and began to read Monaco's starting list: "Goalkeeper Roma, defenders McConn, Squeerage, Giwe, Modesto; midfielders Prahill, Diego Perez, Fanelud, Lacombu; Forwards Saviola, Caron...... Hey, these two teams are going to fight each other directly, the gospel of the audience and friends is here! ”

I have to say that it is indeed a blessing, after all, everyone still likes to watch the kind of energetic and contacted, of course, this is not to say that Chelsea's formation of the bus is not good...... But in terms of ornamentation, it's really weaker, right?

"Both teams have come up with their strongest lineups, and I'm curious to see what Deportivo wants to do today......" Frank sighed, "Ligue 1 is not vegetarian there, and really, if you attack, whoever is injured on the field will have an impact on Deportivo Lacoruna's next game." ”

Deportivo La Coruna's next game is the Copa del Rey against Bilbao, this team's style of play is also dominated by plagiarism, followed by the league against Villarreal, it can be said that it is not a good stubble, the horror schedule of three games a week has arrived, and now is the moment to test the depth of the Deportivo La Coruna's bench!

After the captains of both teams picked the side on the field, the game officially began, and it is clear that Monaco have a very careful study of their opponent Deportivo La Coruna, and everyone seems to know that Deportivo La Coruna is now mainly playing in midfield, and the two wings are a little weaker, so the Monaco players have been on the wing.

After groping on the field for a while, Monaco couldn't help but make a breakthrough on the right side when they were defended back and forth into their own penalty area, and Aimar was responsible for the right side in this game, and his defense was so weak that he almost pierced it! However, he still used his small body to squeeze people to the touchline and directly gave Monaco a throw-in.

Monaco seemed to find a bit of confidence in this breakthrough, and they played mainly on the right side in the following period, and played a good combination in succession, Juan Sorin cleared back and forth at the back, and Monaco also took advantage of the chaos to win a corner!

Thankfully, Deportivo didn't have a good header, but at least, their goalkeeper was okay, and Diego López flew to save the ball, which made Deportivo people breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the game was only five minutes on, and Monaco coach Didier Deschamps was standing near the touchline to watch the situation on the field at the beginning, but Juan was nowhere to be seen.

What about Juan Díaz?

After Deportivo saved this corner, Deschamps slapped his knee with regret, after all, everyone knows that if he can score at this time, it will be very helpful for the rest of the game!

"It's a shame." An unfamiliar voice suddenly came from his side, and Deschamps subconsciously nodded in response, but when he looked up, he was facing the open snack bag.

Deportivo coach Juan Díaz smiled politely at him: "Do you want some?" ”

“…… Actually, I wanted to ask from the beginning of the season. Frank looked at the harmonious appearance of the two head coaches on the screen, and couldn't help but ask more, "Has Juan Díaz become the spokesperson for any snacks, and recommends his snacks everywhere?!" ”

And isn't that rude, can you give someone a whole pack? Are you embarrassed to send your leftovers to others?!

Dean was used to Frank's powder being black in the depths: "Deschamps took a bag from Juan's snack bag...... At this time, Deportivo made a long pass to the right, but unfortunately Redondo's wonderful pass was not caught, Zagorakis's run was not timely, and the two teams quickly switched between attack and defense. ”

"Deportivo La Coruna and Monaco are not very familiar with each other, and they are still groping for each other's tactical play, Bellerón's through-ball! Aimar was offside, and the goal was a bit of a pity. ”

Monaco are careful defensively, and they are aware of the ageing of Deportivo LaCoruna's squad, but so what?

Romario, Redondo, Bellerón, Riquelme, Aimar, these people use their individual ability to assist or score, it is difficult to defend, and Deportivo LaCoruna's midfield pass is too casual - although that casualness seems to have a hint of rigour, but it has to be said that such a midfield pass is really difficult to guard.

Juan stood on the edge of the court, squinting at what was happening on the court.

When he was a player, he didn't have no contact with the Champions League, here it is completely different from the league and the Copa del Rey, the other party and himself are not a system at all, there is not even any intersection between the players, some have not even heard of names, so there is never any mercy or guilt on the field.

Ten minutes into the game, Zagorakis received a pass from a teammate in the right front and volleyed, but unfortunately it was high over the crossbar, and a minute later, Belleron passed the ball to Romario in the middle, but Romario did not seem to be in much shape in this game, and a direct volley on the left side of the penalty area, the ball hit the goal frame and was held tightly in the arms of the opposing goalkeeper Roma.

In the fifteenth minute, Monaco striker Saviola received a pass from Prasil and shot directly from the left side of the penalty area, which was blocked by Maniche.

Two minutes later, Bellerón burst into the box from the left baseline and crossed, Riquelme cut in from behind = to hit the goal, and again, the ball went wide of the woodwork.

"You Deportivo don't seem to be on the right spot today." Deschamps was in a good mood and raised his eyebrows at the little coach next to him, Juan turned his head to look at him with a smile, and then said softly: "Maybe there will be surprises." ”

Surprise? What other surprises can there be, Deschamps is most comfortable with Monaco's defense, they have McConn, the future world's No. 1 defender, the backfield is as stable as a rock, no matter how you look at it, it is much more normal than Deportivo La Coruna!

Look at Deportivo now, there are many chances to shoot on goal, not a single one! And every time it deviates from the goal frame, at least it proves that Monaco's current policy is not wrong!

"Young man, don't be too proud." Deschamps was a kind warning, after all, he also knew that there are very few capable young men in football now, even if they come to compete with him, but in any case, at least Juan Díaz has made them coaches see some other possibilities.

"Pride?" Juan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, but couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Do you think I'm proud...... Now I wonder if this is my home turf. ”

Juan sighed for a reason, this game is at the Riazor Stadium, although this stadium is not big, the basic attendance is still very guaranteed, especially this game is the first Champions League game of New Laco, everyone is looking forward to Laco's performance.

But now, there were only boos in the stadium, not for the home team, not for the away team, but for the manager.

Not to mention anything else, Aimar has been brought down four or five times in this kung fu, and every time it looks like it hurts, but the referee has not dealt a card once, and the whole game is about to riot.

Referee, do you know what a home game is, whether it will blow or not, whether it will be awarded a penalty?! Won't let us come?!!

And now, the shooting situation on the pitch is a little bit chaotic, Deportivo lacks enough energy here to see the people sitting there as the camera sweeps over the home bench.

If you don't see it clearly, forget it, and when you see it clearly, everyone wants to cover their faces.

On the forum, someone directly complained: "Your group is really very big-hearted, either bring the oldest or the youngest, this is also a Champions League, isn't it good to bring a little bit of the year of play?" ”

Under many of the same complaints, a truth emperor stood up, he said: "With all due respect, your team has basically been on the court for the year of play, and the rest of the players are basically moving between the main substitute and the substitute." ”

…… If you think about it this way, it seems to be the same!

"Monaco and my group are too chaotic in their shots, it seems that basically everyone wants to go to the goal to touch Yunqi, but fortunately, my group has a strong midfielder interception ability, reliable defenders, and a serious defensive goalkeeper, otherwise it will be fatal......"

It's really terrible.

Fernando Gago was looking forward to it off the pitch, and for his age, he wasn't really suitable to play, but he wasn't too young compared to Laco's group of sixteen or seventeen-year-olds.

The 18-year-old wondered if he could play before the game started today, but he was a little shaken when he saw how serious the fight was on the court.

For his age, to participate in such a scramble, he can fall down at the slightest touch, and everyone on the bench is basically like that, and the only one who has some hope is Thiago Silva.

In the 38th minute, Andrade assisted the ball directly to Aimar in front of him after the half, but Aimar was directly tackled from behind by the opponent's midfielder Fanelud after the breakthrough, and the referee finally didn't sleep on the field, and the whistle came directly to a yellow card.

This Monaco's foul is also inevitable, if you don't stop Pablo Aimar, maybe the clown has broken through to the Monaco penalty area at this time, McCone is on the other side at this time, and he can't catch up at all, so many times, fouls are also an unconventional means.

When Juan was in A Coruña, he never encouraged any of them to take the path of foul play, and although the veteran drivers basically knew how to prevent foul play and what to do, Juan still hoped that they would never make such a move unless they were forced to do so.

In other words, what Juan means is that although this matter is about professional ethics, there is absolutely no objection to protecting yourself as soon as you feel that you have been abused.

Aimar was injured a little, he slowly jumped to the sidelines for treatment, Laco's team doctors were very efficient and surrounded him at once, Juan stepped forward to look at his situation, very worried: "Joker, if it doesn't work, come down?" ”

Aimar smiled ugly and shook his head, he was used to this kind of situation, after all, the style of play is really a hard injury that he can't change, so as long as he is on the field, every team will basically play his direction.

His passing and playmaking are deadly, and his defense is poor, so if he is lame first, the game will be easy to play!

That's at least half of the teams, and that's the main reason why Aymar basically has three games off for every game.

"Juan......" Alan called out to their head coach worriedly, and Juan looked back at him and muttered for a moment.

"Alan, do you think we should try to step up a workout?"

As soon as he heard about the enhanced training, Allen shivered at first, but when he thought that he was not a player and did not need to participate in those trainings, he was very relieved: "What training?" ”

"The game was fouled or fouled, how should we train for the referee to get cards." Juan said this seriously, and then turned his head to continue watching the game on the field, and Alan was directly thundered.

What kind of training is this, and there are still people who have this kind of training?!

The interrupted game restarted, Deportivo took a free kick, Juan Bellerón stood in front of the ball, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, the Spaniard, who had always been quiet, did not say that he would not be angry, nor that he would not be excited, just like in the last game, at this moment there was a raging fire burning in his eyes.

Overnight!

“gooooal！！ Juan Vellerón, our master of free kicks! He sent the ball straight into the back of the net! I feel like Deportivo is scoring mainly from free-kicks......"

In the 42nd minute of the game, Monaco defender McCone fouled Juan Bellerón, and Deportivo won a free kick on the right side, but the shot in front of the penalty area seemed to be a little reluctant, and Juan Bellerón's cross from the penalty area was cleared directly by the opposing defender.

Deportivo La Coruna regrouped and began a long-pass policy, with Aimar failing to keep the ball at his feet on the right side of the box and failing to win a single corner.

The situation on the field was really a bit grim, Gago and Thiago Silva were a little unable to sit still, the two of them looked at each other, and then got up at the same time: "Coach! ”

As soon as Juan subconsciously turned around, he saw two young generals looking at him with blank eyes.

Deportivo needs a man to break this situation now, and there is no doubt that Gago is the best candidate, his midfield playmaking and attacking attack are outstanding, and his physique is good, but Thiago Silva has a better physique and is a little more calm when he is older.

Juan raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them, and was about to open his mouth to say something, when the halftime whistle had already blown, and he swallowed the words that he wanted to say: "Go back to the locker room." ”

The two youngsters returned to the dressing room with a very apprehensive heart, but Juan looked calm and did not look dissatisfied with the performance of everyone in the first half, in fact, he had already expected this game to be like.

Deportivo La Coruna's lineup is weak in terms of insufficient attacking power, which cannot cause some pressure on the opposing defenders, but it is absolutely stable defensively.

Juan paused after finishing the performance of everyone in the first half, and then raised his eyebrows: "Aimar, come down and rest in the second half, don't let a small injury become a big injury, Laco can afford to wait for you to get better, Gago will play in the second half." ”

Just when Thiago Silva was still disappointed, Juan continued: "Capdevilla also went on in the second half, Thiago Silva went on...... Plug in on the left wing, you can, I'm optimistic about you. ”

Juan deliberately replaced Capdevilla without meaning anything, but this person is really not suitable for cutting forward during the game, and his aggression is relatively weak, so Juan can only nod when he replaces him at this time.

The substitution still seems to have some miraculous effect, at the beginning of the second half, Monaco, who wanted to play on the right side, was directly blinded, Gago passed to Riquelme in the midfield after breaking the ball on the right side, Riquelme dribbled into the front of the Monaco penalty area and passed the ball directly to Redondo, Redondo knocked back to Thiago Silva who was running wild in the middle, the Brazilian passed the ball diagonally into the box, and the unmarked Zagorakis on the right flank pushed and broke the net.

"Zagorakis! A beautiful goal! Deportivo La Coruna taught Monaco a profound lesson with his precise passing! At the same time, it has to be mentioned that this is the first goal scored by a player of Greek origin in the history of La Liga!! ”

Juan was almost overwhelmed by the boys who came up from behind, but before he could be submerged, a big bear hug came in front of him, and Deportivo Nineteen burst into tears with tears in his eyes, and said intermittently in Spanish, "Thank you...... Coach, Juan ...... Thank you! ”

Zagorakis came to Deportivo La Coruna, and he knew how much of it was painful, but at least for now, the goal showed him that his efforts were not in vain!

He can score goals for the team!!

The game went on, a foul by Maniche gave Monaco a free kick, Diego López saved and the ball didn't fly off the sideline!

At this time, there was a person who seemed to have been ambushed a long time ago, waiting near the sideline, and when the ball flew over, he directly shot a shocking long shot!

Everyone watched as the ball went straight through Deportivo La Coruna's half, bounced off and landed on the edge of Monaco's penalty area.

And at this moment, because of the penalty kicks, Monaco's half of the court is empty!!

Romario catches the ball!!

The Brazilian lone wolf showed his most terrifying side at this moment, he still seemed to be leisurely, lifting his foot with ease, and the instep of his foot was pumped on the football.

Colorful elves flew towards the Monaco goal with an indomitable momentum! The opposing goalkeeper Roma has nothing to do with this visitor!

"Deportivo La Coruna 3-0 Monaco !!" Frank roared with all his strength, "Fantastic Deportivo La Coruna, aren't they the same team as in the first half, why is there such a big change?" ”

"The goal came so fast that I was caught off guard...... Dean stared blankly at the jubilant celebration on the pitch.

In fact, it wasn't just him, everyone was a little confused.

This goal is simply a bombardment......

Veterans still have their own pride!

However, after the start of the game, the referee seemed to start to get into the hole in his head again, Monaco's possession, Deportivo midfielder broke the ball and ran away with the ball, Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack, Belleron in the penalty area A cross, Riquelme struggled to run, but was blown offside.

At this time, even a person with a good temper can't help it, Redondo narrowed his eyes and was ready to step forward angrily, no one dared to leave him in this game, and everyone avoided him when he saw him, which made him already accumulate a lot of anger in his heart, okay?!

Seeing that he was so angry now, Belleron hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Calm down, Fernando, calm down, at least now we are ahead." ”

Redondo snorted coldly and patted Belleron's shoulder, taking two deep breaths to calm his anger.

Juan off the field can see the situation on the field clearly, at this time Deportivo players are very angry, they have been tackled again and again, the opponent has no cards, and the result is simply nitpicking on Deportivo at this time, is this really good?

Gago was a very active runner on the pitch, and the new recruit was full of energy, speed, and aggressive in defense, attracting the attention of the opposition almost instantly, and his outstanding performance immediately attracted the attention of the Monaco side.

The whole team had done their homework against Deportivo La Coruna, where the superstar's individual prowess was unquestionable and the only way they could think of to solve the problem was to use brutal methods to win.

But fortunately, they didn't know much about Gago, and thought he could play it directly, but it turned out to be a hard stubble on the spot, Redondo burst into the box and crossed, the ball was given to Zagorakis, and the Greek shot at the goalkeeper, but the ball was blocked.

It was at this moment that Gago seized his opportunity, and it was a fatal arc to raise his foot directly, and the football swirled into the upper right corner of the goal, and Roma could only watch the football fall.

"The ball is in!! Fernando Gago!! In the five minutes on the field, the Argentine youngster handed over a one-goal report card, and I gave full marks for his Champions League debut!! ”

Compared to Frank's elation, Juan was a little worried: "Deportivo can shoot so easily even from a back midfielder, do you really think it's a good thing?" ”

"Why isn't that a good thing?!" Frank was unconvinced, "Deportivo is indeed lacking in attacking points now, especially on the field, Romario is lazy to run so rarely touches the ball, Zagorakis is still a little uncomfortable with the team, what if you want Deportivo to rise a little after this time?" ”

And to get this treatment at home, Deportivo La Coruna is no one.

Belleron took the ball again, Redondo looked at the situation on the field and waved directly for the ball.

He can't help it anymore, what's going on with the current referees?!

Belleron didn't even think about it before he gave up his own breakthrough and gave the ball to Redondo, and after the Argentine midfielder got the ball, he burst straight into the box.

Bang!

Redondo felt a sudden very unkind aura behind him, and adjusted his movements in time, and the next second he only felt a pain in his calf, and the whole person fell down directly.

There was an uproar in the stadium, the Deportivo players hula all around, Belleron sank his face on the pitch for the first time, turned around and went to the referee, and the others were responsible for isolating the Monaco players from Redondo, so that no one would take advantage of the chaos to continue to play black feet.

The referee walked over, Redondo's white socks, a shoe print on the calf was clearly visible, the referee bowed his head and pondered for a while, called the opponent's defender to come, and stretched out his hand to get a yellow card.

"What?! Only a yellow card?! Frank jumped straight up, "What does this mean, hey, is the referee's head broken?!! ”

"Foul!! This is an extremely dangerous move!! It's only a yellow card!? And in the previous time, the Monaco players did not get a card for the dangerous action of Aimar, and the referee made a big professional mistake, which is a shame, a shame! ”

"It was a very unfair game, if it weren't for the boos in the crowd, I would have thought it was an away game for Deportivo La Coruna." Dean is also very serious, and now he can feel it personally, Deportivo is being targeted!

The game between the two sides started again, with the ball on Deportivo Le's side, and now Deportivo is clearly on the verge of attacking here.

You're here?

Okay, then let's go head-to-head! Let's see who's better!

Juan Sorin and other defenders suddenly pushed to the front, and when they carried the ball, they hit it directly in front of the opponent's feet, and the strong defense team knocked Monaco to pieces.

Especially Juan Sorrin, originally he was just wearing Anan at the back of the team, waiting for the defense, but now he has been released, when facing the Monaco players, he only hits people, doesn't even care about the ball, and every time he chooses the most head-on conflict like a bull, and directly messes up Monaco.

Monaco were under pressure, but Deportivo LaCoruna's midfield retreat gave them more chances to get on the ball, and after some attempts, they came to the conclusion that they could only shoot on goal.

Deportivo La Coruna's goal was just too far away.

Gago is doing what the front midfielder should do on the field, he has good physical strength, speed, defense balance, running all over the field, supporting any place at any time, although it can't be said that he is revitalizing a game alone, but he already has that shadow, and he is also in the collision sequence at this moment.

With the addition of Gago, the strength of the defense team suddenly increased, Sorin, Maniche and Andrade blocked the opponent's forwards, Gago's up was a beautiful turn, directly took away the football at the opponent's feet, and at this moment, McCone killed like a ghost, and it was a sliding tackle against Gago.

At the critical moment, Gago picked up the ball with his toes, and it was a long pass on the spot, and then slammed and fell directly to the grass.

McCone immediately got up, his eyes open, and he spread his hands innocently, as if he had nothing to do with him.

"Foul!! Foul!! It was a bad foul, McCown tackled behind his back, a red card, definitely a red card!! "Frank was so angry that he exploded.

"Deportivo La Coruna was treated most unfairly in this game, why is that, obviously this game is Deportivo La Coruna's home game, isn't it?!!"

Dean also took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Let's see what the referee has to say." ”

The referee stepped forward to look at it, then took the whistle in his mouth. 166 Reading Network
