79. Second round of the league
Chapter 79
After this period of getting along, Leo Messi finally found a pattern.
- In A Coruña, honest people are used to be bullied.
For example, Thiago Silva, an honest man, has been eaten and drunk by his compatriots since the first day of training camp, and he has been unlucky after two games, and I don't know what the situation is......
Especially in today's game, he scored twice in the first half, and now in the second half, Diego Forlan and Zagorakis have scored a goal each, although it is not easy and happy, but at least everyone is very comfortable with it, and it is normal to celebrate.
At least he felt that it was normal to cuddle and hug!
As a result, why did a defender score a goal, and the whole team was more excited than the senior one?
Of course, it may also be because this goal is the reason for the fifth son Dengke, but this is also a little too lively......
Messi hesitated, but he still ran over to celebrate with them, but soon, the child realized that he might have gone a little early, and was suddenly picked up by David Luiz -
That's right, it was brought up.
Messi didn't struggle, according to the experience of that month, even if he struggled, this big man who didn't understand the language would pay attention to him!
"The relationship between the two of them is so good." Juan couldn't help but sigh when he looked at it, Riquelme looked at it and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Are you sure?" ”
How did he look at the faces of his juniors, and his heart was like stagnant water......
"Those young people have a good relationship." Aimar also came today, but he didn't share Juan's snacks, because his taste is relatively light, and Juan doesn't know why, the taste is heavier, "They often practice together, and they are often beaten by us together, and they can play with language barriers." ”
"Yes," Juan nodded understandingly, "why don't we strengthen the Spanish learning in the team, so that it will be more convenient to communicate and whatever." ”
"Agreed."
"Seconded."
They're a Spanish team, so they should communicate in Spanish!
Puff Bus, who has always been rampant, finally has a weapon that can clean him up in the future, not to mention for the time being, the game on the field is over, Juan and their discussion here is over, seeing that the field is full of activities, Juan couldn't help laughing.
"Laughing at what?" Riquelme subconsciously shrunk his neck, this person is not saying that he doesn't laugh often, but every time he laughs, it's always a good thing!
"No, I just feel that the rotation in the future will be much more convenient." Juan said it was easy, after all, the situation in the team seems to be going in a good direction right now, at least for now, Juan has no less than five sets of starting lineups and game formations in his head, but there is no time to prove whether either one is feasible.
Originally, there wasn't much time left for Laco and Juan, so no matter what the idea, he could only practice while playing, but at least they had a Copa del Rey that could be used as a training ground, and it wasn't a loss!
The second round of the league is coming soon, Deportivo La Coruna hosts Las Palmas, and the team also has a relationship with Juan Bellerón, the current captain of Laco, whose football career originated in this provincial capital team located in the Atlantic Islands, but compared to Super Laco's god table over the years, Las Palmas has been struggling in the relegation zone for many years, and it was difficult to be relegated last season.
Juan didn't say much when he attended the pre-match press conference, in fact, he was not in the mood to attend the press conference after the last situation, but it was clear that the person did not appear here, his sister and aunt started quickly, and I heard that the person is now mainly interviewing the Madrid team.
There are four La Liga teams in Madrid that can be named, and the other teams are in a little-known state, and even the four clubs are not as good as the tiered teams, so you can imagine the gap between the clubs.
But without a Fernando, there were other people who came to cause trouble, and when the reporter of Le Monde Sports came forward, Juan knew that it was impossible to be good today.
"Dias, since you took over Deportivo La Coruna, it seems that you have not met a strong team, including the pre-season warm-up matches and friendly matches, you are looking for a very weak team, will it make you feel inflated all the way? What do you do when you come up against a team like Barcelona? ”
The question came so unexpectedly that Juan was silent for two seconds before hesitatingly asking, "If I'm not mistaken, the schedule of each club has been set down a long time ago, right?" ”
It's not that he deliberately wants to run into other teams, not to mention that in addition to Real Oviedo, where are Las Palmas and Atletico Madrid weak, and La Liga is full of giants, okay?
Everyone present understood what he meant, and there was a chuckle below, and in such a relaxed atmosphere, Juan said with a solemn face, very calmly: "Let's not mention the expansion, I want to say that today is not a match between Deportivo La Coruna and Barcelona, please focus on this game, this is the respect for both teams." ”
I don't know why, the reporters of the World Sports newspaper always like to implicate everything on their own teams, especially Barcelona, whether it is a player transfer or a comparison between clubs, it can always end with a wave of praise for Barcelona, so for the whole of Spain, the reporters of the World Sports newspaper are not very popular.
Who likes this kind of mouthpiece that sells and boasts, praises oneself and belittles other people's homes?
But obviously, the reporter didn't think so, he straightened up and was a little unforgiving: "Please answer my question head-on, are you confident?" ”
"I don't have the confidence, you saw it when I played." Juan raised an eyebrow, "Sir, can I understand you questioning me?" ”
"It's not a question, it's just that you're young and working hard, and we just care about you." He continued to speak shamelessly, and before Juan could speak, there were already low boos around him: "We're not with you, you can be annoying yourself!"
"Personally, I suggest that you better focus on your work and the game, rather than trying to figure it out." Major Marshal Laco got up directly, "I'm done with my speech, today's list is here, you can circulate it." ”
Only a few days after his twenty-second birthday, he pondered a question very seriously.
Why would he waste his limited life on these infinitely greedy journalists? When he first followed the lord, he found out that these reporters were always tired of trying to provoke the manager, and then say something they wanted, or react what they wanted, and every time the lord lived up to their expectations, they were sprayed with blood.
Juan knew that this was a good idea, especially when he had to deal with the media, but it was too tiring, and he didn't have the same deep skills as a knight, or could he learn from his Portuguese colleague Jose Mourinho and take the "first in the world" route?
The little nobleman who had been low-key for twenty-two years was entangled for a while, and finally decided to love what, he didn't serve anymore!
Scolding is also a waste of mind, he might as well take this opportunity to think about a few more tactics and training, and it is best to slap his face with victory!
When he got back to the dressing room, he heard someone talking inside, it was Pompon, he had been brought over for this game, and he looked alive and kicking, looking eager to try and not nervous at all, in stark contrast to Thiago who played in the first game.
Juan smiled and closed the door: "Everyone seems to be very excited today." ”
"Of course!" Ponpong was the first to reply loudly, he didn't even play in the last league, and now it should be his turn??!
"Don't get too excited," Juan coughed lightly, seeing that Puffy was poked all of a sudden before speaking, "I'll announce today's starting list." ”
While the two teams were still preparing in the dressing rooms, the fans in the stadium couldn't help but start singing, and all the TV broadcasts were ready to go.
"Hey everyone, this is Sky Sports, oops...... It's really exciting, finally Deportivo La Coruna is going to have their first home game, and we can see that the Stadio Riazor seems to be a little different from last season? ”
Frank's exclamation resonated with most people, and although it didn't change much on an individual basis, Dean was clearly well prepared, and he immediately picked up the conversation: "Yes, we can see that the Riazor Stadium has renovated its own grass, and I thought that after the Riazor tragedy last season, Deportivo La Coruna would never touch this turf." ”
"What a Riazo tragedy, I really can't speak." Frank hurriedly punched him, and quickly changed his words: "It should be said that it is the miracle of Riazo!" But the transfer of the current batch of people, no one remains...... In the post-Super Laco era, it became a twenty-two-year-old young man to take over, and the world is really changing too fast. ”
When they talk about the Riazor tragedy/miracle, they are referring to the same thing, that is, AC Milan, which immediately becomes a negative example when it comes to big reversals and big turnarounds...... The Red and Black Army is also down, and the lead of such a big score can be overturned, which can only be said to be too underestimated.
"Indeed, the world is changing too fast." Dean lamented, "Who knew that Super Laco would collapse without even making it to the end of the season, and become a mess that no one wanted to take over, at one point there were only three players, and the season package sold very few ......"
"It turns out that a talking coach and a talking team are still necessary, I heard that half a week before the start of the season, Deportivo La Coruna opened its own ticketing system, and more than 32,000 tickets for the home stadium were sold out in ten minutes, and this does not include the season package of more than 1,000 people, and the away tickets of more than 1,000 people."
"Come on, it's not like you haven't heard that Juan almost turned his face at the press conference just now, just because some reporters want to hype up something for the sake of topicality, how can Juan's character be endured?" Frank sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk much, the coaches of the two teams came out of the players' tunnel to say hello, the players arrived quickly, and the starting lists of the two teams were also obtained on the spot, let's see what the situation is on both sides." ”
At first, he was still very calm, but after looking down, Frank couldn't help but smile: "Hmm...... This messy list is worthy of Juan. ”
"What?" Dean was stunned for a moment, took the paper from his hand and looked down, looking at it, the corners of his mouth began to rise.
"Very interesting list." He commented, and then began to read the list on the paper.
"Deportivo starters, Diego López; Andrade, Nuno Maniche, Angelos Basinas, Juan Sorin; Juan Bellerón, David Silva, Juan Riquelme; Quaresma, Postiga...... Romario. ”
Frank's face was full of incredulity: "My God, what is this going to do?" This lineup is really messy, especially Romario, they really let the 38-year-old veteran return to the European arena! ”
'In terms of the general likelihood, this game should be played in a 4-3-3 formation. Dean tried very hard to evaluate objectively, "But here's the problem...... In the case of 4-3-3, the defenders are required to have strong interception ability, and the small number of midfielders means that there must be a suitable strong midfielder, and the attack power of the front court must be strong to play the role of such a formation. ”
"Yes, Juan actually had exactly what he needed for the perfect 4-3-3 formation, but we could see that he didn't send the line-up that we thought we we'd like, but brought in Barsinas and Romario, and to be honest, that's what surprised me the most."
Although the Greek team was like a big dark horse in the European Cup, all the way to the final, but it fell under Juan's earth-shattering tactics, and I don't know whether to say a word of injustice, but the Greek team as a whole is very amazing, and it doesn't look so good after being split separately.
And Romario? They just don't know where to start complaining.
When he was still in service, the Brazilian lone wolf had already shown a lazy temperament, often staying in the opponent's half, near the edge of the penalty area, but the Brazilian lone wolf also has his own set, after all, he has a lot of experience, as long as he is in the penalty area, as soon as the ball is sent, he can cause a lethal kill.
At this time, the players of the two teams were already standing on the court, and the two of them subconsciously looked at the screen, a little speechless, and the huge difference in painting style there was Laco.
It's really small, old, and the age difference is so big that it feels like a father and son soldier......
And when the whistle blew, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Deportivo La Coruna's formation was at a new high, with Romario standing lazily in the box, Quaresma and Postiga both on the edge of the box, three midfielders near the centre circle, and four defenders in the back.
"Honestly, in the three games Laco, this one is probably the only one that I can confirm at a glance." Dean lamented, "Their first game, the 4-6-0 I thought about for a long time, I didn't figure out what the prototype of this formation was, after all, it was the first time I had seen a tactic without a striker...... The second game, the Copa del Rey, started with a 4-3-3 that was very good, but the defenders cut in from the wings and scored the goal, and I didn't know what to say. ”
"Dean, although I understand the feeling that your authority in the tactics encyclopedia has been challenged, how can you be sure that he will not use a routine that you are not familiar with?"
"He's already used it." Dean said very heavily, "This formation should be a 4-3-3 formation, you look at Romario's position, according to the habit of the Brazilian lone wolf, he should not be out of the penalty area." ”
"So what is this formation...... 4-3-2-1? Frank said, feeling a little surprised, "Deportivo La Coruna is really creative, this Christmas tree-like formation can be made." ”
"At the start of the match, Juan Díaz was already seated in the dugout and took out his snack bag, he was really relaxed...... Juan Bellerón gave the ball to the youngster David Silva, the youngest of all the players on the pitch, only 18 years old this year, he had already shown his ability when he was in Valencia, although the youngster is young, but he is very stable in protecting the ball! ”
David Silva rushed forward very carefully with the ball, not that he didn't want to be faster, but he was instructed before he went on the field, not to be fast, but to be stable, as a midfielder, the main thing he should do is to organize in tandem, and leave the attack to the front and backfield......
When he thought about it, he raised his eyes and saw the blue and white striped shirt - Laco's home color, which was very refreshing and atmospheric, and it was very recognizable.
Basinas, who received the ball, was a little stunned for a moment, after all, he killed according to Juan's request, but in fact, he didn't know what he should do?
And at this moment, he heard someone in front of him shouting: "Angelos! ”
As soon as Basinas looked up, he saw Quaresma's hand raised high, and the momentum looked like he was going to ride the wind and waves, and the Greek defender immediately realized that it was a long pass, but his accurate head was really not good, the ball went off track, and under the stunned gaze of Quaresma and Postiga, the ball flew to Postiga's feet.
Postiga was not polite and turned with the ball and rushed into the box, leaving three defenders in the box in Las Palmas and it can be said that from the beginning they seemed to have the idea of playing a defensive counter-attack.
Postiga's technique is good at his feet, and his biggest problem is that he doesn't like to pass the ball, and he likes to show off his skills, but the latter one is not much of a mistake now.
He can't show off his skills, and he can't break through as much as others, but the other party is only a sixteen-year-old child!
While practicing his skills hard, Postiga is also gradually changing his dislike of passing, after all, everyone else is okay, if he doesn't pass the ball to the bigwigs, he will be educated and whipped by all kinds of love when he goes back, and no one can save him......
Now he has been entangled by the defenders, the defenders of Las Palmas have their own tenacity, no matter how they can't get rid of it, Postiga is working very hard with the ball, and has been trying to scramble with his head down, but fighting hard, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that there was a white line over there.
He's going to be spelled out of the rhythm of the sideline!
Postiga gritted his teeth and wanted to kick the ball out directly, after all, even if it went out of bounds, it was just a boundary ball, but who knows what will happen once the ball is broken?
However, at the moment of getting up, Postiga noticed a person-
A man who quietly appeared behind the two of them.
Romario didn't know when he arrived, he was unhurried, he looked like he was strolling in the court, Postiga was sweating with the ball in a hurry, since he wanted to come, then naturally there was hope of scoring, he must protect the ball!
While Postiga was desperately defending the ball and enduring a physical run that amounted to sexual harassment, Romario was turning back to talk to the defender who was following him.
He smiled and asked, "How old are you this year?" ”
The opposing defender was stunned and subconsciously replied: "28......"
It's normal for Romario to speak Spanish, after all, he is also a person who has played in La Liga, but the other party really didn't expect him to ask such a question in the middle of the game.
The Brazilian lone wolf laughed: "It's just ten years younger than me, it's still very young, you said that if you can't prevent me, will you be sad?" ”
"Huh?" The opposing defender only had time to issue a question word, and the person who was still smiling in front of him turned around very casually, and with a "bang", the defender of Las Palmas blinked subconsciously, and then turned back sharply.
The white ball was thrown like a meteor in the direction of the goal, and the goalkeeper of Las Palmas jumped sharply, but the ball grazed his fingertips and hung into the upper right corner of the net.
This goal was too tricky, and it came too suddenly, even the linesman was stunned for several seconds before he suddenly raised the flag in his hand.
The goal works!
“Goooooal!! Sousa Romario!! Frank immediately jumped up, "Incredible, amazing!!" The thirty-eight-year-old will prove his ability with a magnificent goal in his first game back in La Liga! ”
"The king of the forbidden area is old and old, but the older he gets, the better he becomes." Dean also sighed, "Let's take a look at the replay just now, it was still Postiga who was blocked on the touchline, how did he pass the ball out all of a sudden, and then it became Romario's goal? ”
To be honest, not only them, the live broadcasters, but also the people at the scene were stunned, and almost everyone looked up and began to watch the replay. Postiga was pushed all the way to the sidelines, well, no problem on this side; Nearby Romario began to approach in that direction, and this was fine; Romario turned around and talked to the defender who followed him??
At this time, Postiga seized the opportunity to send the ball out, but the position was a little crooked, and the front court where Laco was present today was not very accustomed to passing the ball, and he turned his head a little worse, but this was not a problem in front of the king of the penalty area.
It's a no-go zone, it's his territory.
The defender in front of him was still confused as the ball passed through him at three o'clock, and he opened his crotch and raised his leg high on the first, second, and third steps.
The ball came so suddenly, not to mention the goalkeeper, even the defender didn't react, and watched Romario finish the shot very calmly - of course, the biggest reason is that the defender himself has contempt and doesn't care much about the defense, which makes Romario suddenly attack.
At the end of the replay, when switching to the court, Deportivo La Coruna's celebration was not over, the Brazilian lone wolf had two deep dimples on his face, and he hugged the whole team with these two deep dimples, and patted their teammates on the back very affectionately when they came over, and for a while it looked like a kind elder.
Although it seems that it is indeed an elder...... But how can there be such a murderous elder?!
After a goal, the Brazilian lone wolf regained his lazy appearance and walked around the opponent's penalty area, but this time no one dared to underestimate him, the defenders of Las Palmas couldn't help but start to tense their nerves as soon as they saw him, and they didn't dare to say a word, the Brazilian lone wolf said that he was really lonely, and no one spoke to him×
As soon as he saw that the entire La Liga seemed to be taken aback, Juan nodded with satisfaction, this person is a typical representative of the older and more demonic, even if he may not be able to adapt to such a high-intensity event in La Liga, but even on the court, it has the effect of fixing the sea god's needle.
Las Palmas didn't dare to let the ball pass into their own penalty area, at the beginning, in order to play defensive counterattacks, they frequently fell in their own half, and Romario was just lazy to watch, and there was no intention of coming up to steal, at that time they were still secretly disdainful in their hearts......
It turns out that if you want to evaluate a person, you must not look at his appearance.
"I seem to be happy to see Postiga and Quaresma?" Portillo asked with some hesitation, Juan brought him over today and put him on the bench just in case.
"Of course they're happy." Fernando Gago on the side answered very casually, "After being so frightened, don't you want to share the same feelings with the world?" ”
Indeed, they were very worried about Romario at the beginning, but a simulated match in the team taught them these midfielders to teach them how to behave in minutes, and if they trained alone, they still had the possibility of guarding, but once they were involved in sports warfare, the only person who could say that they could stop him with confidence was Redondo.
Portillo thought about it carefully, so he happily continued to watch, when they celebrated the goal just now, they were about to tear down the roof of the coach's box, Juan looked up at the roof and sighed: "This place may also need to be repaired......"
"What?" Portillo subconsciously turned his head, he seemed to hear Juan say something to fix it?
"Nothing." Juan replied calmly and focused his attention on the game again, and Portillo broke out in a cold sweat.
When it comes to repairs, he thinks of the team's inhumane wheel warfare training methods, and when it comes to wheel warfare training, he thinks of Basinas, who just passed the ball on the pitch and missed, and Postiga who was forced from the middle to the sideline and almost went out of bounds......
God bless them both, Amen.
Juan didn't know that his friends around him had already begun to make up the scenes of the two people being "crackling" in various ways, he just looked up at the time.
In the twentieth minute of the game, Romario's goal, Deportivo 1:0 Las Palmas at home, if nothing else, this game can be drawn early in the first half.
"Messi." Hearing someone calling him, the Argentine teenager subconsciously looked up, and everyone stared at him.
He turned his head a little dazed, only to find out later that the person he was talking to was Juan, their head coach. He hurriedly stood up: "Yes! ”
"Go warm up." Juan bowed, the Argentine teenager was stunned for a moment, and then stood up in everyone's envious and hateful eyes.
"Oh, we saw movement on the bench for Deportivo La Coruna! Lionel Messi got up and went to warm up, he had a great performance in the last Copa del Rey game, which is probably the main reason why he got this chance to play! ”
Frank said, a little hesitant: "As far as we know, Messi is a youth player from La Masia, but his size may limit his future development...... I don't know where he can go. ”
"Maybe we'll know after one round of the league." Dean smiled, "According to reliable sources, Messi's acquisition cost Laco a big price, and it is a full buyout, it can be said that any subsequent transfer of Leo Messi has nothing to do with Barcelona, and according to the contract, if Barcelona is interested in Messi, they may have to pay an additional 70% fee for anti-buyout." ”
"170% of the transfer fee is used to buy a young player who is not very tall, and Barcelona will not do such a thing unless they are crazy." Frank said casually, "The fourth official played the substitution sign, and No. 25 Leo Messi replaced No. 16 Sousa Romario!" Why did it take on Romario, I think it would be better for Postiga or Quaresma to come down. ”
Romario was a little lazy when he came off the pitch, and the fans gave him very enthusiastic applause and cheers, Deportivo La Coruna has always been a very pure place, the people who have contributed to the team, no matter who they will remember.
Messi jumped twice in place, and Juan couldn't help frowning as he looked at his long hair: "Leo." ”
Messi subconsciously swears uàn fake punishment Tubu about dry mu 4.
"Huh?" He was stunned.
Juan didn't know why he was also keeping his long hair, and he didn't plan to trim it at all, he usually used a headband behind him, but on game days, the headband would be replaced with a sports headband to look a little more energetic.
Messi has never had the habit of putting his hair up, especially when he doesn't need it much, but Juan knows that it is easy to blindfold him when he sweats in the game later, and the sweat guidance effect of having a hairband will be very different.
"Put it on and go to the game." Juan paused and smiled: "You have to score a header in this game, a whole pack of sweet biscuits." ”
The Argentine youngster's eyes lit up, he loves to eat junk food the most, but both dietitians and rehabilitation therapists strictly prohibit him from eating them, such as potato chips, Coke, hamburgers...... There are also sweet biscuits, so he's especially looking forward to playing.
As soon as you play, there will be a snack reward of one kind or another!
Romario strolled over, and the energetic Messi ran to the front with a high-five hug hug, and the Brazilian lone wolf looked back at him and sighed: "Look at this kid who is hungry and hasn't eaten for three days." ”
"Isn't it just that I haven't eaten for three days?" Juan smiled, last time Messi scored twice, he bought fried chicken and Coke for the whole team to celebrate, a rare relaxation! And most of them are young people, so they love to eat these things.
Among all the people present, Messi ate the most energetically, when the people of Real Oviedo came to the locker room to exchange jerseys, the kid still held a chicken leg and didn't let go - David Luiz made a bad want to rob other people's things, Messi ate well, usually did not resist at all, but this time he did not let it go at all.
"Uh, excuse me......" As soon as the opposing player spoke, before he could say anything, he heard a staff member of Deportivo shouting: "What are you doing?!" ”
Juan was still on the pitch and greeted the head coach of Real Orvieto kindly, after all, he was embarrassed to beat someone else today and send them out of the Copa del Rey directly, but after coming back, he still got some fragments from the players' vague words.
For example, Messi who bites the chicken leg and doesn't let it go, for example, David Luiz who has a big box of chicken legs and wants to grab Messi's chicken legs, and for example, the player next door who was inexplicably criticized and doused with Coke and the poor team doctor supervisor......
Anyway, since that day, the whole team has forbidden junk food to enter, so it is true that it has not been eaten for three days, which seems a bit cruel to the little prince of junk food?
