Chapter 222

To be honest, if there were any women here at this time, they would have already breathed and heartbeat.

Juan Dias, recognized by the Internet as a new generation of ascetic male gods, is an iceberg face at all times, and wraps himself up and down in a laboratory, although he still wears a jersey when he played on the court again a year ago, but each one is long-sleeved, even if the lines are exposed, they will never show an inch of their skin.

In addition, Juan Díaz himself is very repulsive from thousands of miles away, and the result seems to be counterproductive, and many men and women are like wolves and tigers who want to strip him naked...... It's just that no one has succeeded so far.

Here, however, Juan was in broad daylight...... What is that, it can be said that any outsider will be shocked when he sees it!

But fortunately, at this time, let alone outsiders, except for Redon Dozhi, he can't see his own family, so Juan has no plans to clean himself up at all.

The first is that you don't need to worry much about your image, and the second is ......

Juan looked at his underwear and looked back at Redondo.

The Argentine boss's expression at this time was very serious.

"Big Guy ......"

"Don't go!" Of course, the big guy knew what he wanted to say, so he directly rejected the little friend's request. "Anyway, the color of this panty is pretty good, and it's okay if you wear it like this, right?"

“………………”

Juan's whole face was tangled, and he couldn't see the so-called iceberg and rejection thousands of miles away.

The Argentine bigwig's shoulders were shaking.

After a while, Juan packed himself up, he changed into a training uniform when he was training with the big guy today, and now I think about it, I still need to thank this training suit, but the clothes are looser, otherwise this big pants will be worn in it......

But now that he was already on, he tried his best to ignore the cool feeling of the cool breeze below, and walked towards the small black room with the big guy.

The "Little Black House" is actually a place to watch videos of past matches, do tactical analysis, and lecture on formation and tactics, and under normal circumstances, Deportivo will always come to do this kind of self-analysis after the normal game.

However, everyone's performance in the two games of the Champions League is not bad, and the general analysis is what the coaching staff tactical analysts will tell you, and Juan is only an observer for most of this time, so it doesn't matter if he goes late.

But the big guy is ...... Ahem.

Fortunately, the big guy made few mistakes on the court, especially in the last game, when the core of Deportivo Deportivo was replaced for the first time, and Gago did a lot of things that were not very good, and Redondo quietly remedied them.

"Big guy, do you think Gago will be able to do it after next season?" Juan was very worried, and he glanced at him.

Of course he knew what this kid was going to do, and he deliberately went to search for a few backback masters for Gago to take him with him...... I don't know if this man is a luxury or what.

'He's improved a lot this season, but next season he should be a little bit better, at least better than he is now.' Redondo replied, "He's already laid a solid foundation this season, and if you don't improve next season, you don't have to think about it, just change hands." ”

"Uh......" Juan was stunned for a moment, a little crying and laughing, "Big guy, do you have a little confidence in the core of Deportivo La Coruna's future?" ”

"If he doesn't grow up under the leadership of two people in a row, I don't think he will be at the heart of Deportivo Love in the future." Redondo said mercilessly, and then frowned: "It's really a little difficult for him to support himself now, maybe it will be much better next season." ”

"Why?" Next season, that is, the 06-07 season, if it really goes to that season, Deportivo La Coruna can still stand up, after all, in the long run, it is more secure to have a back that grows and develops with the team.

Redondo glanced at him, made sure he wasn't really playing stupid, and then coughed lightly and reminded: "World Cup." ”

Juan was stunned for a moment, then understood.

It's still early to start next season, for the World Cup, and now the national team is basically called a few times a month, Deportivo here Spain and Portugal players are fine, Brazil and Argentina are simply unlucky......

Not to mention anything else, just taking a plane back and forth takes thirty or forty hours, plus training and competitions, as well as adjusting to the time difference, such a month's round trip is enough to toss.

And if it's a game, forget it, some people haven't played yet! In the past, I used to sit on the bench!

It's just all sorts of heart-stopping ......

At least Deportivo is not a professional bench, most of them are still the main force of the national team, although this is still a lot of physical consumption for the players, but in other words, this is not a reflection of Deportivo LaCoruna's own strength?

In the Argentine national team, Deportivo still has a large proportion of players, with Argentine captain and defensive core Juan Sorin, Argentine third goalkeeper Lukes, midfield core Riquelme, Pablo Aimar, Fernando Gago ......

Fernando Gago's name is undoubtedly the most unobtrusive of the star-studded lists, but in a season at Deportivo La Coruna, Gago has already proven his quality, and Argentina has shown a positive attitude towards his call-up, with favours on him to take over from the back.

And some, or rather, a considerable part of the people, made a suggestion.

Why not recruit Fernando Redondo?

You know, last year, Brazil also called up their 38-year-old legendary lone wolf Romario, although it was only the last game and it was only a warm-up game...... But that's enough!!

Does this also prove that Argentina can also call up those older legends and give them a decent exit?

…… Of course, those people think so, but Redondo obviously doesn't need it, and he has no intention of going back since leaving the national team.

However, Fernando Gago, although a newcomer to the national team, seems to be the core of the backfield, and if there is no accident, Argentina will sit firmly in this position for the next ten years.

There are different bigwigs for two consecutive seasons, coupled with the grinding of the World Cup, if he hasn't grown up at this time, it is estimated that Juan will have nothing to do.

Seeing that Juan's expression was very clear, Redondo nodded secretly, and then frowned.

"If you can't get Rui Costa next season, I'll do it for another year." Redondo said it lightly, Juan turned his head to look at the big guy, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile: "Big guy, are you doing what you say?" ”

In the face of someone's teasing, Redondo turned a deaf ear and walked forward, Juan followed behind and touched his nose, and finally smiled: "Thank you, big guy." ”

"You're talking too much." Redondo replied impatiently, but there was a smile in his eyes.

The two men arrived at the "little black room" quietly when they arrived, and it was obvious that today's story had come to an end, and most of them were just listening intently, and no one noticed the arrival of the two of them.

“…… The above is the summary of the last game, everyone should make adjustments after they go back, and our coach will also help. In Juan's absence, Alan simply made a summary, but soon he noticed Juan in the corner, and just as he was about to scream, Juan waved at him and motioned for him to continue.

Alan nodded and continued: "The next thing we need to watch is the last round of the Champions League semi-finals, AC Milan vs Liverpool...... I hope you will watch it carefully and take it as a warning. ”

At the beginning, Alan said in a very serious tone, and everyone present had a solemn expression, and everyone knew what was going on.

- AC Milan lost, and for the second year in a row, they reached the quarterfinals.

Last season, they were beaten by Deportivo La Coruna on their home turf with a big lead, arguably the biggest comeback in Champions League history, and this season they seem to have forgotten the lessons of last season and made the same mistake against Liverpool.

In the first round of the 1/4 match, AC Milan won 0:3 at Liverpool's home stadium, but at their home stadium, they were given a 0:3 ......

This is only the regular period, in extra time, the soul of the Liverpool team, their captain Gerrard an own goal assist Inzaghi, at this time AC Milan has at least half a foot out of the line, in such a good situation by Alonso a long pass equaliser, and then in the penalty shootout even missed a goal, directly surrendered the chance to advance to Liverpool......

I have to say that this game can be called a heart-wrenching game, which is enough to make people stunned.

No one expected that AC Milan, who had already suffered such a big loss at Deportivo La Coruna last season, would be careless in the face of Liverpool this season - who dares to say that this is not careless?

The current AC Milan lineup is recognized by the media as the strongest squad in the past two decades, not to mention the value of the players themselves, just the devastating performance of this bunch of people in Serie A is enough to explain everything.

However, no one expected that AC Milan's performance in the Champions League would be so unbearable.

Of course, this is also a conclusion made when you only watch the results of the game, not the game, and everyone knows that sometimes it may not be just AC Milan's problem.

The game began to play on the projector, and the camera swept over everyone's face as the players entered the field.

Dida; Cafu, Rui Costa, Nesta, Maldini; Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kaka; Crespo, Shevchenko and AC Milan use the 4-3-1-2 formation they are most familiar with and are good at, Kaka moves as a single striker, but in the use of AC Milan, he can sometimes charge up front, and obviously their manager Carlo Ancelotti thinks so.

So this formation is said to be 4-3-1-2, sometimes it will be more like 4-3-3, of course, now there are Argentine shooter Crespo and "Ukrainian nuclear warhead" Shevchenko in front, in general, it is not very necessary to charge forward with Kaka, a young man, in fact, his passing is also very good, and the ball is also striding forward with his head held high, when looking at him, Juan subconsciously glanced at Redondo beside him, who knew that Redondo was also looking at him at this time, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

Redondo quickly asked in a low voice, "Are you sure Costa is viable?" In the Champions League quarter-finals like this, he is the main player, and AC Milan may not let him go......"

Juan was stunned, and he didn't expect Redondo to think about it, but he coughed lightly and waved his hand: "To be honest, I didn't have much confidence before this game, but after this game, it may not be ......"

Redondo raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much, but turned his head to continue watching the game, but Juan narrowed his eyes and continued to stare at the Rossoneri's number 22.

Kaka.

Maybe the photographer also knows that good-looking and young men can easily attract viewership - of course, Juan doesn't know, and there is a little credit for him here - all in all, the camera stayed with him for a few seconds before reluctantly leaving, and this is because Kaka has not noticed the camera's movements and has been chatting with Shevchenko in the back, so he retreats in a huff, otherwise it is estimated that he will have to shoot for a while.

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere here at AC Milan, most of Liverpool's faces are not smiling, and their faces are tense one by one.

Sweeping all the way, Juan subconsciously frowned.

Isn't the atmosphere in Liverpool a little too tragic?

Dudek; Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Traore; Luis, Garcia, Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Reese; Cowell, Barosh ...... There was a little sadness on everyone's faces, but most of the emotions were still resolute, and with such an expression, it was no wonder that Juan used the last sentence "tragic".

Liverpool are playing a 4-4-1-1 game here, and to be honest, such a standard defensive counter-attacking formation is quite understandable.

"Liverpool's formation is wonderful......" Juan's eyes flashed a peculiar expression, he remembered, in the group stage, Deportivo and Liverpool also had two rounds of matches, but at that time, Benitez's formation was not very smooth, so Deportivo could find the attacking point so quickly, and then won Liverpool in two games.

4-4-1-1, this formation looks a little strange, but if it has to be said, there are traces to follow.

Benitez was a master tactician and quickly figured out the best fit for Liverpool.

The single striker is the most goal-scoring and fastest Barosh in Liverpool, and the shadow striker is very good at tackling and shooting from a distance, Colwill is also good at long-range shooting, and the four midfielders are fast on both sides, and the middle two are good defensively, physically strong, and good at tackling......

It can be said that this is the most suitable formation for Liverpool right now.

Of course, this is still not comparable to AC Milan's squad and formation.

AC Milan were already rated as the most championship-worthy team before the start of the Champions League.

Crespo and Shevchenko are two super center forwards, Kaka plays in the front midfield, and Pirlo, Seedorf and Gattuso play in the back three.

The organization is mainly handed over to Pirlo, assisted by Seedorf, and Pattuso's Forcekeeper is mainly responsible for intercepting and protecting the organization of Pirlo - by the way, Deportivo LaCoruna's current training direction of Gago is a bit biased towards Gattuso's path, of course, it depends on his performance in the next season to slowly adjust.

Finally, with Brazilian captain Cafu and Portugal's golden generation of midfield maestro Rui Costa providing assists, paired with several other excellent centre-backs to defend, the whole revitalization is almost solid.

Such a formation gives full play to Pirlo's playmaking ability - Juan glanced at Redondo again - and can also play Kaka's ability, and his ** type of forward just happens to be in the most empty part of the field and can run long distances at any time - Juan glanced at Redondo again.

And, worse still, AC Milan's attacking capabilities are more than that.

The two centre-forwards at the front are very capable and are good at tearing apart the opponent's defense.

At this time, AC Milan has strong midfield control and enough width in the midfield, so it can be said that this formation is enough for them to be invincible against any team.

It is worth mentioning that when Portugal won the Euro 04 Cup, it also used a 4-2-3-1 formation, Figo, Rui Costa, and Cristiano Ronaldo lined up, and the scene was simply picturesque......

It can be said that just looking at the formation, there is still a little gap between the two sides, of course, if the game is compared to the formation, the two sides are listed, and the bad side is simply the head, there may not be today's decisive battle.

When the game began, everyone was staring closely at the people on the court.

Juan couldn't help but squint his eyes as he watched the running position on the pitch.

"Actually, if Inzaghi was on the court at this time......" Juan whispered, and Redondo glanced at him.

"Inzaghi, the start was a bit reluctant."

"............" the big guy said so, and Juan could only keep his mouth shut.

Indeed, with Shevchenko and Crespo in full swing right now, and Inzaghi coming off the bench against Juventus, it's understandable that Carlo Ancelotti doesn't trust his abilities.

Plus...... He's just recovering from an injury and he's really not very fit to play.

However, Inzaghi's ability to tear through the defense and grasp the opportunity is obvious to everyone, and Juan even moved his thoughts, but think about it from another perspective, if someone wants to take Quaresma from him......

Forget it, let's try Rui hard.

The game was almost one-sided from the start, AC Milan repeatedly threatened Liverpool in the first half, and it can even be said that Liverpool's goal did not concede in the first half, which was almost an eye-blesser.

AC Milan were relaxed until the end of the first half, after all, although they didn't score a goal in the first half, three goals away from home were enough to give them peace of mind.

Is that really the case?

They seem to have forgotten how similar the scene Deportivo faced in 03/04 was to the scene that Liverpool are facing now.

In the second half, AC Milan was still very calm, dribbling and passing unhurriedly, and the team's attack on the goal was also a match, in fact, AC Milan was not to blame.

With three away goals on their way, there is little hope of a comeback, and they are slowing down their attacking pace at this time, which can be regarded as saving face for Liverpool.

That's true, otherwise they attack aggressively at the beginning, how long can Liverpool hold out?

What they didn't expect was that it was such a contemptuous idea that would bring an end to AC Milan's Champions League road this season.

In the second half, Liverpool began to fight back desperately, and the counter-attack was simply unexpected.

Midfield sweeper Gattuso seemed to have forgotten to turn on his switch today, watching Gerrard dribble through him, and only remembered to chase after him for a while.

But, it's too late! Liverpool, which has been dormant for a long time, has shown their fangs!

“goooooal！！ Steve Gerrard!! The lob shot was tricky, the ball went over Dida and into the far corner, and Liverpool blew the horn for a counter-attack!! ”

“goooooal！！ Smitchell!! His powerful low shot from 26 yards in front of goal was conceded by Barosh and the ball drilled into the bottom left corner of the pitch! Just three minutes later, he scored the second goal for Liverpool and the counter-attack was expected!! The Red Army has seen the dawn of hope!! ”

“goooooal！！！！ Harvey Alonso!!! In the 60th minute of the game, Liverpool equalised, and the two pairs were on the same starting line!! ”

Even though the score was already known, seeing the three-goal Jedi counterattack that was completed almost in seven minutes, the Deportivo players were still speechless for a long time.

It's wonderful, it's incredible.

The first goal, in the 53rd minute, Liverpool's wide range of transfer on the right attracted the attention of AC Milan, although Gerrard is an own goal assist expert, but his own strength should not be underestimated, especially in front of the opponent's goal! So, the first goal was all in one fell swoop!

The second goal was even more crisp, Reese threw a boundary kick on the left side, Alonso and Hamann continued to control the ball and knock it horizontally, directly past the back line that AC Milan was still a little stunned and did not react to the previous goal, Smitchell fired a powerful low shot, Barosh blocked Stam and at the same time gave up the football with his own belly, this goal three minutes later is a coincidence!

As for the third goal...... That's all Gattuso's pot.

Gerrard burst into the box, Gattuso tripped in his back, and the referee gave the harshest penalty of all – a red card and a penalty.

Seeing Alonso standing in front of the football, Deportivo players subconsciously swallowed. 166 Reading Network
