Chapter 251

After that large-scale "flirtation", Deportivo quickly integrated together, everyone got along very well, and there was no problem with Juan's tactics, after the first few days of jerky, the next progress was very fast, at least in the tactical drills and simulated confrontations, there was no big problem, and then it was the actual combat experience grinding.

Juan looked around at everyone present and coughed lightly: "In the two-legged home and away games, everyone has the opportunity to play, it doesn't matter if you can get the Super Cup or not, the key is to practice your own cooperation." ”

Everyone knows that Deportivo is very competitive, except for Diego López, everyone's position is not very stable, and Deportivo La Corunari will not have a shortage of necessary rotations, not to mention that this is the first game of the new season, there is no need to care too much.

"Today's starting line-up—" Juan reads as he looked at the tactics board, "Diego López; Jorge Valente, Nuno Maniche, Andrade, Rui Costa; Juan Bellerón, Juan Riquelme, Pablo Aymar; Luis Figo, Ricardo Quaresma. ”

As soon as this list came out, the expressions on most people's faces moved.

To be honest, this list is quite surprising.

So if you count it, there are 3 Spaniards, 2 Argentines and 7 Portuguese!

What is he trying to do?

Kaka, whose name was not read, was very calm, just looked at Juan with burning eyes, he believed that Juan would not do anything to "help his own family", if Juan was such a person, why could he become the Triple Crown? Why are these players still following him?

He didn't believe that this young coach of the same age as himself would do such a thing!

Sure enough, Juan didn't disappoint him, and quickly continued: "I know everyone must be curious about why I am arranging it this way, so I just said it directly. These people won't start the next leg until the UEFA Super Cup, when the two groups mix and try out new tactics on top of the regular ones...... But rotation can happen at any time, so you have to adjust to your condition at all times. ”

Juan's plan is also clear to most people - last season, Deportivo relied on surprise tactics to make many teams suffer a big loss at the beginning, after the winter break, although most teams have recovered and have found Deportivo Lacoruna's weaknesses, but at that time, Deportivo La Coruna has transferred its weaknesses through the addition of Morientes, and suddenly there was a rush again.

At that time, Deportivo didn't qualify for any cup competitions, and everyone didn't pay attention to them, but this season is obviously different, Deportivo La Coruna's treble status allows them to have two cup games before the start of the game, if it weren't for Juan's pressure, there might be any warm-up matches and friendly matches before that.

There will certainly be a lot of other teams who are quietly watching Deportivo and want to know what kind of chemistry will happen to their so-called new squad!

Adhering to his own tactics, the idea of being known at night is earned, Juan arranged such a seemingly absurd starter, which is understandable.

It would be a shame if the two teams of Atletico Madrid and Sevilla tried out their own tactical skills......

Although it is not a special thing to say that the tactics are known by other teams, after all, in most cases, the tactics are still the same, even if Juan was so varied last season, to put it bluntly, it is just an evolution of the no-blade tactics and the triangle tactics.

But on the pitch, it is useless to study the opponent's tactics thoroughly, the state of the players themselves, the situation on the pitch day, and even the weather can have a great impact on the outcome of the game, so it stands to reason that it is not a big deal to be aware of the tactics.

It's just that if you know the general tactical direction of the other party, it is easy to study the way to crack it, although Juan also knows that it will only be sooner or later, but he also hopes that this day will come later......

And he has a hunch that although Atletico Madrid on the opposite side also has the heart to find out the reality of Deportivo La Coruna, they are absolutely not willing to be the pathfinder of other teams in La Liga, not to mention a Super Cup, which is not a cup competition worth paying attention to.

– Besides, Deportivo have a UEFA Super Cup against Europa League winners Sevilla after that, so why should they be the first birds?

Juan still has a certain grasp of their psychology, so he boldly sent such a lineup, first of all, he knows that such a bunch of people are on the field, most of the Portuguese national team, Figo and Rui Costa debut, how to say that it is still more smooth to match their familiar partners.

Second, apart from Figo and Rui, everyone is teammates who have already worked together last season, so they know each other very well and can take care of each other no matter what.

As for Benzema, he is still too young and Juan has prepared him for the same as the rest of the reserve squad – starting with the Copa del Rey and moving up to the first-team bench if he can perform.

To be honest, in fact, most of Deportivo Deportivo should still be working hard in the youth echelon, but Juan also knows that compared with big teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, Deportivo Deportivo's youth training is too scum.

Deportivo can achieve such an achievement, mainly because Juan has invested a lot of money and energy in the first team, and he has paid less attention to the youth academy after a season, but it is not in the way, and there are naturally a few old people in the youth academy, no matter how you say it, nothing will happen.

But the current little monsters are not suitable for training with those children in the academy.

At this time, most of the youth players are still 9-a-side football or small football at their age, and few of them play the full game of the adult team, after all, they are still young, and if they are boosted, it will really ruin the future of a genius.

So even if you let the children from the reserve team follow, at most they will play in the last few minutes, or if there is absolutely no suspense in the game, you can go for a while.

With the current number of Deportivo La Coruna's first team, it is indeed not the time for the children to try to start, of course, even so, it is impossible for the children to play in the youth training game, otherwise it is not bullying to play with their talent and ability? On the contrary, if you train with the first team, you can still manage it centrally, and the resources can also be tilted, which is a good thing for the growth of these little monsters.

- What's more, the total number of Deportivo La Coruna's first team plus reserves so far is only 25, which is completely in line with the regulations, so it is impossible for even those who want to find faults.

As for the West B B that the reserve team is going to play, Juan doesn't pay attention to it at all, he has long said that if they can't even win a La B championship, they still want to come to the first team?

Although this is almost a strict demand, Juan does set a goal for them, so that these little cubs do not stare at the position of the first team every day.

As for the Super Cup, in fact, Juan doesn't pay much attention to it, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with such a lineup, and Atletico Madrid on the opposite side must be the same, so he doesn't care at all.

However, when it came to the game, Juan Díaz made a mistake in judgment for the first time.

He frowned and looked at the other side - Atletico were almost at their best, and everyone's expressions were serious, as if today was not the opening game of the season, but the last game of life and death......

？？？？

Juan was suddenly a little confused, and when the two coaches shook hands, he subconsciously grabbed Jose Murcia's hand and asked in a low voice, "What are you crazy about?" ”

This is the first game of the new season, and it is understandable that everyone is not in shape, but look at Atletico Madrid opposite...... Is this a life-and-death struggle as soon as it comes up?

Murcia smiled faintly and squeezed Juan's hand tightly, too.

"Last season's hatred, we at Atletico Madrid have always remembered it."

Last season's feud?

Juan was stunned, he and Atletico Madrid ...... last season Is there a feud?

Besides, which team didn't win a few games back and forth by Deportivo La Coruna last season? Why are they so angry?

…… Or is it the same attitude towards Deportivo La Coruna now?

When he thought of this, Juan's heart was a little heavy, but to be honest, although his heart was heavy, he was not worried at all.

The game, winning or losing is a common thing, even if you lose, you are not wronged, summarize the reasons for the next game, just find the field back, how can there be Atletico Madrid who has risen to the level of hatred like this?

You know, even Deportivo La Coruna's rivals, Atlético Deportivo – a mid-tier team in the second division, are symbolic of Deportivo itself, in fact, they wish Deportivo would treat their club as their own satellite club, so that some of Deportivo Deportivo players can come here to play for them.

Juan returned to his coach's bench full of doubts, and Alan seemed to see his doubts, and coughed lightly: "Juan, what's wrong?" ”

"That's ......" Juan recounted Murcia's reaction, and Allen had seen the Atletico players as he crossed the tunnel, so he sighed after thinking for a while, and understood: "I probably know what's going on." ”

“？” Sure enough, I still have to ask these old foxes who have been immersed in football for many years about these things! His deeds and well-informed are still not enough!

Allen sighed lightly and said: "It seems that Atletico's top management has been putting pressure on Murcia since the summer break, and I don't know exactly what direction it is, but it's nothing more than the rankings, or something against our Deportivo La Coruna...... Anyway, if Murcia doesn't do well, it is estimated that he will not survive at the end of the season, and he will be out of class. ”

Juan raised his eyebrows, no wonder Murcia was so hostile when she saw him!

"In this case, this game, which was originally expected to be relatively peaceful, seems to have a lot of changes." Juan chuckled, "I don't know if this match will be a severance match between our Laco and Atletico Madrid......"

"What is the Matchup?" Alan was stunned for a moment.

"What is a friendlie?" Juan glanced at him.

Alan thought about it and understood that the competition held in order to enhance friendship, exchange experience, and improve skills is called a friendly match, so on the contrary, it is naturally a severance match!

"But, but...... Atletico doesn't have to do this for no reason, right? Alan was dumbfounded.

"A manager with the pressure of being fired at any time knows what he will do?" Juan shook his head and squinted at the court.

"In this way, fortunately you have arranged such a lineup, otherwise it would be dangerous for us to face the main lineup of Atletico Madrid in this first game?" Allen frowned, he can only hope that the Portuguese national team can play the good fortune of the European Championship to bless Deportivo La Coruna.

"It's not necessarily dangerous, but there is definitely trouble, and maybe we're going to be forced out of the hole in the first game." Juan chuckled, of course, this sentence was just a joke, and when he was talking, Juan's eyes subconsciously glanced at the bench, and Kakaan sat there quietly, smiling all the time, listening very carefully to the speeches of his teammates around him.

Noticing the gaze of the two of them, he turned his head and nodded in greeting, and then said something with great interest, Juan exhaled lightly and continued: "Although the situation is a little unexpected, it is still under control, leave it to them on the field." ”

Alan took a deep breath and nodded.

It's too late to make personnel adjustments, they have to trust those people!

In the same way, it is also the belief that Juan Díaz can take them out of the predicament!

Juan didn't expect this to happen, and he was already thinking about how to deal with it when the players came on the pitch, but on the surface he was still immobile.

Obviously, Atletico Madrid want to show Deportivo de la Coruna's face in the first game, and this is definitely not possible - it is okay to lose the game, but it must not be insulted by the opponent!

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, that's the truth.

Unlike Juan's frowning and thinking off the field, the two anchors are still very happy!

"Hi everyone, I'm Frank!"

"I'm Dean!"

"After three months, we finally saw the familiar course again! It's back to the familiar season! ”

"yes, it's about to start again!"

Without further ado, let's take a look at the rosters for both teams...... Obviously, Deportivo La Coruna can be said to have a makeover this season, and Redondo's retirement last season has obviously changed Deportivo a lot! Well, we just don't know why Juan sent such a lineup...... Could it be to pave the way for the two new Portuguese bigwigs? ”

"It's possible, you see, even the new signing Kaka has stayed on the bench, obviously for Juan, Kaka doesn't fully have his trust, the Brazilian youngster has to rely on his performances to impress the young coach his age!"

"Ahem...... Actually, what I'm trying to say is, maybe Kaka is Juan Dias's hole card? ”

"Haha, it's not impossible! Let's take a look at Atletico's lineup...... Atletico Madrid has also gained something this season, and it is basically not an exaggeration to say that it has changed its appearance! ”

"Atletico Madrid's starting line-up here – Cuellar; Antonio López, Peña,

Ze Castro...... This is an acquaintance, who is also a member of the Portuguese national team, if he sees the opposite lineup, will he have the illusion of playing side by side with the national team? ”

"Maybe it would be fun if he subconsciously passed the ball to Rui or Figo...... Similarly, Costinha is also a Portuguese player and we are looking forward to seeing how they perform in this game! ”

"Okay, let's move on...... Simeone, Barrera, Miguel, Torres, Petrov, Mista...... Wow, Atletico Madrid's people in this game are really exciting! ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they were indeed excited.

Who is the special four strikers in a game?!! They counted the numbers, and they were really four strikers!

Although this will also have a strong attack, it is easy to create a situation where the attack is strong and the defense is weak, and it must be said - their midfield is only controlled by Simeone and Barella because of this, if you are careful, Deportivo can completely cut off the center of the entire Atletico Madrid and paralyze them completely!

"But I have to say that this method is likely to be a good way to stop Deportivo last season." Dean thought for a moment and said.

Indeed, with more strikers, there are more passes up front, which will certainly put a heavy pressure on Deportivo as a midfield interception.

What's more, Deportivo doesn't have Redondo at this time, and there is also no Redondo's level of back, plus most of the players on the court at this time are strong offensive and weak defenders, and it's almost wishful thinking to stop these people.

In such a comparison, it seems that Atletico Madrid's winning chance of this game is actually quite large?

Of course, that was against Deportivo last season, who knows what will change this season?

And came up with such an unfamiliar lineup, and played an attacking lineup 4-3-3 that Deportivo rarely plays, there must be something changed in it, so even if Atletico Madrid is full of confidence here, they also hold their breath and dare not neglect.

Opening kick-off, Deportivo La Coruna's possession.

Because he didn't know what was going on on the other side, Belleron didn't act rashly, and after the referee blew the whistle, in order to show weakness to the enemy, he also made a secret gesture behind him, and then the football moved lightly and passed to Riquelme's feet.

Simone on the other side was overjoyed.

Obviously, Deportivo still has to implement the formation and style of play of last season, and at the beginning it will require players like Riquelme to make a big charge and a demonstration!

That's a great thing for Atletico!

And none of them handed the ball to Figo, who is more suitable for this matter, and obviously Figo's integration of the team is not very smooth!

So is it possible to infer that the same is true of Rui Costa? That's why there are so many Portuguese on the pitch in this game?

And Bellerón and Riquelme were dissatisfied with the manager's arrangement, so they didn't pass the ball, but planned to follow the original tactics?

I have to say that people's imagination is also very wild, and Belleron is just a cautious move, which actually makes the other party have such a deep misunderstanding as "Deportivo La Coruña's internal instability".

Seeing that Riquelme was about to rush over with the ball, several strikers here at Atletico Madrid immediately surrounded him and forced him, which scared Riquelme - in the past, he would only be besieged if he went to the opponent's area, why was he surrounded by just a little touch of the ball at this time?

However, he was not nervous, but distributed the ball to Aimar, which strengthened Simeone's mind!

With this in mind, Simeone felt more confident and had a chance to implement his manager's idea – and after six minutes, he finally succeeded.

Or rather, Atletico finally succeeded.

"Toot-" The referee blew his whistle urgently, and rushed over with a serious expression.

In the opening six minutes, the game was suspended, and the players of both teams spread their legs and ran in one place.

There, a man lay on the ground, and on the other side, Ze Castro was standing innocently, looking as if he was just passing by, but many people saw it.

It was he who tripped Figo, who received the ball, and very stealthily spikes up!

Yes, exactly Figo!

Aimar was also almost surrounded after receiving the ball, and when he rushed to the left and right, he saw that he was about to lose the football, and gritted his teeth and quickly released the ball to Figo.

Figo's first touch of the ball at Deportivo La Coruna has finally arrived! However, the Portuguese captain was full of excitement and before he could do anything, the faces of his national team teammates appeared in front of him......

Then he fell to the ground in a whirlwind.

To be honest, Figo was a little stunned, and it took a while for him to realize that his calf seemed to be a little painful.

Isn't it, injured on the debut??

Figo was shocked, but quickly calmed down—just the pain in his flesh. 166 Reading Network
