253 The barking of the defeated dog
Chapter 253
Juan and Deportivo had a wonderful relationship, and in retrospect, it seemed like nothing more than a man who had just risen from despair and a club that had just fallen into despair supporting each other, but who knew they would go so far?
Murcia was already in a state of panic on the sidelines.
He seemed to have seen the dark face of his chairman, the roar of "you have been fired" echoed in his ears, all around him were the cold eyes of Atletico fans, and the players did not even look back, and no one even expressed reluctance to his departure.
No! He didn't want to be in that situation!!
Juan sighed lightly and shook his head to look at Allen: "Seeing how fierce Atletico Madrid was at the beginning, I thought there were a lot of changes in this game, but it turned out to be okay." ”
"Huh?" Alan was stunned for a moment, and craned his neck to look at the situation on the court, "With all due respect, Juan, it seems to me that the situation on the court has not changed much from just now. ”
Deportivo La Coruna is squeezing Atletico's living space, but Atletico stubbornly resists, often bounces back when they are about to be cornered, and can buy themselves some respite.
In Allen's opinion, this situation will not change in a short period of time.
"Yes." Juan smiled, the expression on his face this time looked much more normal, and he had been quietly paying attention to the bench here and finally breathed a sigh of relief - his own little coach was finally not angry, which is a good thing! "At the beginning, when I saw Atletico with all the main players and the players had resolute expressions on their faces, I thought they were going to fight hard in the first game of the season."
"Isn't it?" Alan opened his mouth in a daze.
"Of course not." Juan squinted his eyes and looked at the field, "Atletico Madrid's players are human beings after all, how can they adjust their condition to the best in the first game after a holiday?" Whether it's psychologically or physically, there will definitely be some impact. ”
Obviously, everyone has just finished their vacation, and as soon as they come over, they will face their own head coach who is about to kill their own head coach with red eyes, who will not be used to it, right?
This kind of unaccustomed and awkward is okay at the beginning, as long as the manager of Atletico Madrid finds out and adjusts it himself, nothing big will happen, and it will even have a good impact on the team itself, but what if Murcia can't adjust?
To be honest, seeing the first game of the season, this man put on a red-eyed look, and Juan really didn't think he would improve.
In his opinion, it is only a matter of time before such a person fails, and it is not worth caring about himself at all...... However, he seems to want to take action on his own players, so he has to take revenge.
Deportivo La Corunari doesn't have the kind of person who can use their bodies to go on a rampage, and it can even be said that they maintain their usual high attacking crispy, which is one of the few things that feels familiar about Deportivo La Coruna.
…… I don't know why, when I think of this, everyone actually thinks it's a little weird and funny.
Deportivo La Coruna don't have anyone to counter with, and again, they don't want to use such tactics themselves.
- Although there are a few people in the team who are in the air, there are still a few who are good at work, and they can play people around with technology alone.
But Juan has already keenly discovered from the players' somewhat absent-minded and coping attitudes that this is not the intention of the Atletico players, and if you count it, there is only one culprit, and that is their manager Murcia.
Since they didn't want to win so much, Deportivo would have repaid their "hospitality" on the pitch with a big win.
What Juan thinks, and what he directs the players to do.
"A Coruña has been in a strange state...... "After observing for a while, Frank said with some hesitation. They are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and their movements are sometimes light and sometimes heavy, what is this trying to do? ”
"It can be seen that their transition between fast and slow and light is still a little smooth, maybe the new tactics are not very used to it, so use the old tactics together." Dean said hesitantly.
In fact, he was a little unsure, after all, last season, his "tactical encyclopedia" sign, but Juan and his Deportivo were smashed to pieces, and he didn't dare to talk much this season.
Murcia also apparently noticed the situation here in A Coruña, and immediately frowned.
He really wants Deportivo to lose, and now there is still a long way to go, and Atletico is not without the possibility of a comeback.
- Liverpool trailed by three goals last season, didn't they still knock AC Milan over?
If Liverpool can, why can't they?
Murcia commanded loudly from the sidelines, waving his arms, and Juan didn't even look at him, just staring at his own team.
Jerky?
Not used to it?
Because you are afraid that the new tactics will not be effective, so you want to mix the old and new tactics together?
That's all!
At this time, what was shown on the court was already a new tactic for Deportivo this season, but it was too jerky, and it didn't seem too powerful, so many people took it lightly.
Juan himself knows that what is called speeding up, the so-called minimalist passing, is only a small part of this tactic.
What he needs to seek is change!
There are their own changes in tactics, they can send and receive freely, and they can move calmly, which is what they expect!
It's a pity that this tactic is still only in its infancy, and it still needs to be slowly hammered in the new season.
In the last season, Juan was actually ready for La Clooney to use such a tactic, but unfortunately, Deportivo itself was too weak -
The speed of the players is too slow!
Now it's a problem of player speed, but it's a lack of defensive power, and it turns out that perfection is still hard to achieve, but Juan is very satisfied to have this now, which at least proves that his path is right.
Although the first goal was a penalty at the beginning, the second goal has already given him a taste of the attacking power of the tactic and more confidence in his future and that of Deportivo La Coruna.
The game continued on the pitch, with Juan and Murcia still intently directing the game from the sidelines, but one was calmer and the other was furious.
Absolutely!
With five minutes left in the first half, Deportivo La Coruna scored again, this time by Quaresma, not Figo.
Speaking of which, there is actually some coincidence in this goal, Deportivo will have a midfielder on top every once in a while, so that Deportivo Lacoruna's formation will briefly change to 433, and although this change of formation is fast, there will be some mistakes at the same time.
After all, this is the first actual combat exercise, very unfamiliar and deserved, Atletico Madrid also used to rushing up, ready to take the ball - according to their practice in the first half, the ball should be caught by Miguel or Barella, and then the two men passed the ball to Simeone, who took the ball and tried to rush forward.
Under normal circumstances, at this time, it will be intercepted by the opposite midfield, the most recent one, but it is only worthy of the edge of the small penalty area, but even when it gets there, there is no chance to raise his foot to shoot, and he is directly forced out of bounds by Andrade.
But this time, when Simeone stepped forward, he suddenly found that this time it was not Andrade who was standing in front of him, but Nuno Maniche.
The Portuguese Simeone is still well aware that as a defender, his attacking power is inevitably a little too strong, but at the same time his defense is also very aggressive, and if he is not careful, he is likely to be sent off.
As soon as he thought of this, Simeone was even more careful, but what Simone didn't expect was that Maniche just stood in front of him and didn't let him pass, without saying that he wanted a position at all.
???
Although I don't know what kind of medicine this person sells in his gourd, Simone thinks this is also an opportunity! So without saying a word, he just turned around and wanted to pass the ball.
The ball went out, and the man stayed.
Oh, don't get me wrong, it's not the ball that goes out, it's the ball that is lost.
Simeone never expected that Mani was standing in front of him, and behind him there would be Rui Costa quietly surrounding.
What's even worse is that after Rui Costa broke the ball, he also looked at him with a smile over there, Simeone felt that something was wrong for a while, but after all, the football was in front of him, and he still had to step forward to force it, but he knew it was not good as soon as he moved.
Maniche is still behind it!
Sure enough, Rui Costa stood in front of him to attract his attention, but the next second he passed the football, and the target of the football was Maniche behind him!
Simeone wanted to turn around quickly and chase the ball, after all, they were still very close, and if he reacted quickly, the football could be cut off immediately.
However, Simone looked back and saw only the scene that broke his heart.
- Maniche lowered his feet.
The football was flying high into the front of Deportivo La Coruna like a cannonball, and Maniche didn't even stop the ball just now, but sent it straight to the front.
To be honest, in fact, those who are good at long-range shooting are not necessarily good at long passing, one is strength work, the other is technical work, Maniche is the kind of person who is good at strength work, but not good at technical work.
The ball did fly like a cannonball to the front, but it landed straight in front of Antonio López.
???
Atletico Madrid's López was stunned on the spot, and even in the leisure time when football was about to fly, he subconsciously looked left and right to see if there was a Deportivo player waiting around, and took a closer look......
No???
What about Deportivo La Coruna's players?
At this time, the Deportivo players, who had already run well, were also a little confused.
That's not what the eldest of the family said when he taught them!!
Atletico Madrid's Lopes saw that no one could grab the ball, and immediately knew that this was his chance, and immediately grabbed the ball first.
However, it is not known whether it was the reason why he did not recover at the beginning of the season, or if he was really too flattered, the Atletico defender stopped a distance of about three meters when he stopped the ball.
“…………”
Not only the players on the field, but everyone on the sidelines was stunned.
Is this a ball that a top flight player can stop?! Isn't it a little too amateurish?! Stop the ball and stop three meters, big brother, if there were no Deportivo players around, this ball would have been gone a long time ago!
Atletico Madrid's Lopes felt his face a little red at this moment, and he coughed lightly and rushed forward, holding the ball at his feet again, looking up to find his teammate.
Simeone was entangled in the opposing half, and it was too late to return.
Barella was also in the opposition half, but the look in his eyes was very frightened, and Atletico Lopes blushed and looked away again, trying to find a teammate who could pass the football out.
After looking east and west, he finally found someone after looking for a long time.
Petrov!
This striker was directly pressed into his own half when Deportivo La Coruna attacked, and he was almost walking side by side with him, and he was still here at this time, Atletico Madrid's Lopes looked left and right, and it seemed that there was only such a person who was more suitable, so he was relieved to boldly pass the ball over.
So here's the problem.
There is no one around him, after all, he is a defensive player, and if he doesn't take the initiative to lean in, basically no opponent will want to take the initiative to lean in front of him.
But Petrov is different!
That's a striker, boy! A striker who has just arrived!
A striker who almost has a shiny "good bully" sign on his head!
Even in the eyes of the Deportivo defenders, the sign on Petrov's head still has a neon marquee, which is a conspicuous thing in the dark......
It is said that persimmons should be pinched softly, since this is the case, who will not bully him?
But the seniors of Deportivo still had to be a little cheeky after all, and after teasing the lad for a while, and determining the range of the lad's own strength, they called a man over to defend him.
Yes, that man's name was Quaresma.
Petrov was stunned when he saw that the opponent was actually defending him with a striker, and pointed at Quaresma without saying a word for a long time.
Quaresma glared at him angrily.
Does this kid think he wants to come himself? On the pitch, he positioned himself as a wingman, and now his first task is to stop Petrov.
Originally, Quaresma thought that he would end up on the pitch like this today, but who knew that when he looked up, the football would fly in this direction!
He was stunned on the spot, and even subconsciously turned his head to look at Petrov, only to find that Petrov's kid was also looking at him stupidly.
……
???
Not knowing what the kid was doing, Quaresma decided to rush forward and take the ball next.
When he rushed forward again, he had already thought about all kinds of measures how to keep the football, how to rush forward, how to pass the football to Figo......
The last one didn't work.
Yes, not a single one!
Quaresma didn't expect the goal to come so easily, he almost just raised his foot lightly, and the ball was sent into the goal......
The inexplicable success made Quaresma a little confused, and he glanced back at Petrov behind him again.
Petrov smiled at him, looking a little mischievous, but soon his expression returned to normal, so fast that Quaresma almost thought it was his delusion.
However, he also knew that it was not his mistake, so after hesitating for a while, he wanted to lean over and ask what was going on, but Petrov ignored him.
When the halftime whistle blew and the two teams rested, Quaresma still had some depression on his face, which made Juan feel very novel.
"What's the matter, Ricciardo, this is the first game of the new season, you scored, aren't you happy?"
"Happy, but there's one thing that cares a lot about me......" Quaresma told Juan about Petrov's weird smile on the pitch, Juan thought for a moment and patted him on the shoulder, "It's nothing, it's the other party expressing his friendliness." ”
……???
Friendly?
Be friendly to a team that played them 3-0 in the first half?
Is the opposite player's brain broken?
Juan knew very well that there must be something wrong with the other side, and it was probably the protest of the players themselves to the manager, but in this regard, it was still very beneficial for Deportivo La Coruna, so Juan only told him to relax.
When he returned to the locker room, the players were still relatively relaxed, Juan specially called the team doctor to see how Figo was doing, and if there was any problem, the team doctor gave the answer that it was a flesh injury, which reassured Juan.
"Remember, if any of you are slightly injured in the future, don't hide it, everyone has a chance to play, everyone has the ability, do you know?"
Although everyone wondered why Juan wanted to emphasize such a thing over and over again, since he had already said so, everyone still obediently replied, "Understood!" ”
Juan was a little relieved, after all, last season because of the concealment of the injury, there were a lot of things in Deportivo La Coruna, but fortunately they have been suppressed, and this season, Postiga has also recovered.
Because his attendance in the Champions League was not enough, he couldn't give him a Champions League trophy, which Juan was very sorry for, but Postiga himself was very optimistic, proudly said that it doesn't matter if there is no time at this time, wait for yourself to be better, just earn one yourself!
Juan is very pleased with Postiga's attitude, although this kid has always been so awkward, but he can express his thoughts a little bit, congratulations!
Honestly, that's what makes Juan happiest the most.
"Ah, Juan." Figomore twitched his phone - in fact, he couldn't play with his phone at halftime, but Deportivo didn't seem to have such a rule internally, everyone was still having a good time, and Juan didn't care, so he took it out and looked at it.
He obviously wouldn't call Juan "boss", he couldn't pass that level either psychologically or by his age, and Juan understood it very well, so he immediately walked over and looked at the phone he raised.
It was a text message from Castro, obviously a little sneaky and short, but it still expressed his apologies and unhappiness about his feet.
…… All in all, Juan was relieved that everyone was actually not very happy with the game.
That's fine, at least this game and Atletico Madrid don't have to fight to the point of breaking up, that's enough.
At the beginning of the second half, Deportivo LaCoruna's offensive obviously slowed down, but it was very impressive to attack and defend back and forth with Atletico Madrid, Juan watched for a while and didn't notice that the players on both sides were acting, let alone the opposite Murcia, and thought that his own tactics had worked, and he was very proud.
But that was the end of his pride.
Rui Costa scored a beautiful goal with fifteen minutes left in the second half, and Frank said on the spot that it was enough to compete for Goal of the Year.
Scoring a goal in the first game of the new season that can compete for the Goal of the Year?
This game is crazy enough......
There is a little angel mentioned the coaching summit, the author wants to say here, the coaching summit is held in Sweden at the beginning of September every year, that is, the traditional first international break of the new season, and it is only mid-August, and it is not yet time 2333
