Chapter 136

Everyone in football knows that Alex Ferguson is particularly fond of his disciples, but in recent interviews, Ferguson seemed to have some cold words towards Juan, which surprised many.

Ferguson has changed sex?!

Or did Juan Díaz do something bad?!

Just when most of the media is still speculating, Manchester United is also helpless, the gentleman's mood these days does not seem to be very good, and it is not pleasing to anyone, well, except for Cristiano......

The Portuguese youngster is the most favored in the whole Manchester United, and everyone knows that the lord has an extraordinary tolerance for him, so after finding out that something is wrong, most people's first reaction is to directly sacrifice the killing weapon -

Manchester United had just finished training and were in the middle of the lunch break, when the big brothers looked at each other and then pushed a Portuguese straight out.

- The only warrior in the entire locker room who dares to be the same as the lord, go ahead! The world needs your salvation!

Cristiano didn't think much about it, he jumped over directly, and caught the old man with a bear hug: "Sir!" ”

Although most people call the lord "boss", Cristiano was really used to Juan when he first came, so he has never been able to change it back, but the lord has never cared, and pointed his backhand at the child's head: "Walk well!" What should I do if I fall? ”

The Portuguese teenager rubbed his head and laughed: "Aren't I excited!" ”

"What's there to be excited about?" The lord glanced at him, but it was obvious that the mood at this moment was okay, especially when facing this little living treasure behind him.

In the last round of the league, Cristiano once again completed his feat of scoring a brace, which the lord is very relieved about, and this is also a rare moment when he is in a better mood during this time.

The little Portuguese laughed and gaged with him for a while, almost forgetting what was going on, and turned his head to see that the big brothers were also hinting at him to hurry up and speak, he coughed lightly: "Speaking of which, obviously I've been doing quite well lately, why are you in such a bad mood?" ”

Speaking of this, Ferguson's face immediately sank, and he snorted coldly: "It's better for you to ask your fellow countryman." ”

"My fellow?" Cristiano was directly at a loss, but at this time, Queiroz happened to call the lord something, so the lord turned his head and left, leaving him alone to think.

He's a fellow countryman...... Dad?

The dad he said was Queiroz, but Cristiano didn't find any problems between the lord and Queiroz after observing for a long time, and Cristiano, who knew that he was looking in the wrong direction, thought about the whole training time, and finally couldn't help but find foreign aid when he went back.

"Juan, what do you mean by this, sir, what do you mean by asking my fellow countryman? I don't even know how many Portuguese he knows...... But looking at the attitude of the lord, it has something to do with my Portuguese countryman! Leo and they don't dare to make a noise in the club now, for fear of provoking the lord to explode again......"

Cristiano said here with righteous indignation and spittle, Juan smiled wryly on the other end of the phone, after all, Cristiano was not stupid, and suddenly realized something as he spoke, and shut up directly.

"You're finally realizing?" Juan asked coolly on the other end of the phone.

If the lord specially mentioned it to him, then it must be the Portuguese that both of them knew.

- Then there would only be Queiroz and Juan.

"Uh, did you do anything......?"

Juan's reply was also very understated: "I gave the lord a gift by courier." ”

"......" Cristiano was silent for a moment, and just as he mustered up the courage to open his mouth to ask, Juan had already naturally continued: "It's David Beckham's jersey." ”

"............" He seemed to know why the lord was so angry.

"I also asked Beckham to sign for me by the way, and I wrote that I am happy every day and my work is going well."

".................." At this moment, Cristiano didn't know what to say.

Thanks to Juan now in Spain, otherwise the lord might have rushed over to give him a marginal education of love and pain.

Cristiano had always felt that they were enough to die, and that Juan and others could be said to be the closest to their age as a benchmark and idol......

However, today, it seems that this person's death skills are simply comparable to his!

"Can I interview you what you think?" Cristiano's question can be said to be sincere, after all, no matter what you say, Beckham is a person who can't be mentioned in the lord's heart, after all, the matter has only passed for so long! Cristiano asked himself, no matter how he died, he would not have reached such a point, right?

"I didn't think much of it, but I suddenly remembered and sent a dress to the lord, I think he will like it." Juan was right, and Cristiano was speechless.

Even he knew that this was absolutely unacceptable, okay??!

"Speaking of which, how are you Manchester United okay these days?" Juan smiled and asked, "Tell me what's fun?" ”

"Oooh!! All right! Speaking of which, didn't we play AC Milan in our last game? Their number 22 is super powerful......"

Juan and Cristiano were sulking at home when Juan and Cristiano talked about the current situation at Manchester United, although he didn't know where he was sulking.

Especially when he saw the words on the jersey, he really had a very stunned feeling for a while.

"What, still looking at the jersey?" Aunt Casey put down a cup of tea in front of him and subconsciously looked at the jersey in front of him.

Pure white jersey with black "23" back number and Beckham lettering.

– David Beckham.

Even the lord himself was surprised that he didn't throw it out with the box the first time he saw it.

To be honest, even now, the lord still has a feeling of anger at the thought of this name, after all, this bastard boy is too rebellious, and seriously, he still can't understand the child's aesthetics even now.

"This kid still thinks about you." Aunt Casey smiled and pointed to the words, "Happy every day, good work." ”

"Come on, it's not like you didn't see who the sender was when you received the courier, Juan's kid was full of bad water, you didn't know, he must have made it bad, otherwise do you think David has the courage to send me the jersey?"

When he said this, Ferguson was both a little emotional and a little inexplicably proud, and his mood at this moment was so complicated that it was beyond words......

All in all, Juan's fault!

Aunt Casey also knew what kind of temperament her husband was, and at this time she must have slandered Juan in her heart, according to the old man's old man's old words: "Do something superfluous." ”

But is this superfluous?

What kind of smart kid Juan was, both of them knew, so it was unexpected and reasonable for him to do such a thing all at once.

"Even if it's a cheat, Juan sent it to you, so it's naturally for you, isn't it?" Aunt Casey smiled helplessly, "Didn't Deportivo play against Real Madrid last time?" ”

"yes, that's why he got this shirt to ......me off," Ferguson muttered, coughing lightly, "Seriously, I was surprised when I first saw it. ”

"I know, I can feel it." Aunt Casey smiled, "It's not a holiday now, I'm afraid it's still interesting for him to send it to you directly, after all, if it's really a gift, he should ask Jason to bring it back for you." ”

- Speaking of which, their youngest son went to Portugal anyway, and tried to put down roots there, where the sun and air were obviously much better than here in England, and he could see that his son was already working hard anyway.

Although this matter is really nothing compared to his father's achievements, he is still very relieved to see his son gradually coming out of the shadows, although he does not say anything.

In this way, he can't put on a bad face on Juan, and Juan didn't do anything in the first place, and sending him the jersey was just a good intention.

…… It should be well-intentioned, not to see the excitement, right?

Now the lord doesn't believe in the credibility of the young marshal Lako!

"Relax, Alex." Aunt Casey patted him lightly on the shoulder and pecked him on the face with a smile. "You know, this kid Juan doesn't have bad intentions, especially when it comes to us, does he?"

Juan may joke and prank people he cares about, but he will never do anything to hurt others, and Ferguson knows this very well.

"But this ......," Ferguson frowned again.

"Okay, don't think about it, for the sake of this sentence, take it." Aunt Casey nudged his arm and laughed.

“…… Hum. The lord snorted coldly, and did not mean to object.

During the training the next day, Cristiano didn't go up directly to say anything to the lord, he just observed the lord's mood today from a distance, and found that it was not any different from yesterday, so he walked over with courage: "Lord!" ”

"What's wrong again?" The lord looked back at him with an impatient face, but Cristiano knew that the lord didn't really hate him, and when he saw his head coach like this, he put his mind at ease and stepped forward directly: "Is there really nothing you want to say?" ”

"Yes," the lord nodded, and said very calmly, "If you don't train again, I'll kick your ass." ”

“？！” Cristiano covered his ass and jumped away, looking at him with horror on his face.

Next, when the media reporters asked Juan Díaz again in front of Ferguson, the lord still said coldly, but at the end, he said a little encouragement to Juan in a relatively subtle way.

'Yes, Dias did do well in La Liga, but it's his normal level and I think he can get better, Deportivo La Coruna is a strong team and he deserves to do that.'

"You can't give him too much of it for the time being, why? Because if he goes to the middle and lower teams, he will definitely not have his current performance, the players of his team are the guarantee of his excellent performance, and if he is satisfied, proud, and stops because of this, then soon, he will be left behind by other excellent managers. ”

Since Deportivo La Coruna's head-to-head battle with Real Madrid, Deportivo coach Juan Dias has become the first target of attention of major European giants.

Who knows what kind of idea this man will have in his head, and what kind of moth he will come up with!

And the big giants are also starting to move.

What if Deportivo La Coruna goes bankrupt next season?

What if Juan Díaz is fired next season?

What if they also have a chance?

However, Juan is not interested in the olive branch thrown by any giants, no matter what club it is, it is soft and hard, and it does not eat oil and salt, which also makes many media very frustrated.

They miss Juan Díaz who was super polite and responsive in front of the media! Who the hell changed him?!

Now that Ferguson is pouring cold water on Juan during an interview, many media outlets are fanning the flames and trying to provoke the discord between the master and apprentice.

However, this time Juan stood up directly and made it clear that he accepted all of Ferguson's suggestions and opinions, and in the stunned gaze of the media, Juan said sincerely: "I know that the lord is for my good, so I will listen to every suggestion he makes." ”

Alex Ferguson was arguably his mentor and everything he said was designed to make him better.

Just like many famous coaches will always warn players who are famous at a young age, the lord will also warn the young coach who is just starting out with kindness, as long as he is not arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he can touch the sky with his hand, then he will understand the hard work of the head coach.

Juan is naturally not such an ignorant person, he can still maintain his normal heart now, and the lord is also very pleased with this.

After all, a person's attitude determines his future, and no matter what the future holds, at least for now, Juan has done well enough.

As for Beckham's shirt, he still didn't throw it out or tear it up.

After all, no matter what you say, it's a child who grew up watching herself.

It's not like everyone thinks it's a master-apprentice rivalry, in fact, Juan was greatly relieved after hearing what the lord said.

- Of course, I want to breathe a sigh of relief!

At first, Juan didn't feel anything wrong with it, and it took many days of peace of mind, but it was only after a phone call from Cristiano that he began to realize the seriousness of the matter.

After being nervous for several days, he finally received the words of the lord in the air, and his hanging heart was put down.

At least it shows that I didn't do anything wrong!

With such a righteous mood, Juan welcomed Deportivo La Coruna's home game against Arsenal in the second round of the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger and Juan had a customary greeting before the game began, but when Juan wanted to turn back, the Arsenal professor stopped him with a smile.

'Deportivo La Coruna is on good momentum, you have a lot of new players in your squad and the whole of European football is focused on you to see where you can go.

Juan was stunned: "I know." ”

Arsene Wenger continued: "Deportivo are now valued at more than £200 million in their first-team squad and everyone is wondering how many future superstars you have hidden. ”

Wenger's words made Juan a little confused, what did Wenger mean by this, did he just want to tell him the current valuation of Deportivo La Coruna in England? But what's the use of him saying this?

How much is Deportivo first team worth, can Juan not be clear?

Deportivo alone's midfield is definitely more than 200 million pounds, and Fernando Gago and David Silva alone, if you really want to sell it, 50 million pounds will definitely be grabbed by the team.

Juan looked at Wenger in confusion, and the professor smiled at him: "Now the outside world is not only interested in Deportivo La Coruna's first team, but also your reserve team and youth team, after all, the performance of these echelon teams is also very amazing. ”

Juan shrugged.

The development squad is the second tier of the club, located between the first team and the youth team, also known as the second team, and the non-youth players who cannot be included in the first team can enter the reserve team and maintain their form through training and games in the reserve team - it is worth mentioning that on the Manchester United side the first team will also be sent to the reserve team to play for a long time.

In the event of a major injury or suspension in the first team, the reserve team players can quickly step up, and some players who have returned from injury can also adapt to the rhythm through the development team games, so as to make the transition to the first team.

This year, the momentum of Deportivo Deportivo reserves is very strong, the reserve league has started to the present, they have followed the pace of their own first team, leaving all the teams behind them far behind, such as Kylor Navas, Leonel Messi, Mesut Ozil, David Luiz, Thiago Silva and others are currently playing in the reserve league, so in terms of record, Deportivo La Coruna reserves can be said to be far ahead without humanity.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the reserve team has attracted attention from the outside world, after all, there are too many demon stars in it.

Many European giants want to poach Deportivo La Coruna's reserve team and youth team players, but although some people have expressed their willingness to leave, none of those main targets are willing to leave, unless the giants personally promise the opportunity to play, but this is something that all the giants cannot give.

Even Manchester United can't do anything about this, most of the players in his team are in their playing years, and there is no need to give up the main team for the sake of a young man.

The non-big mid-table teams poached players who said they could give the main team, but their players themselves did not look down on the ranking of their teams, and most of them were still willing to stay in Deportivo La Coruna.

The reason is simple, the overall record of Deportivo is good enough at the moment, and there are a few players who are a little older or more prone to injury, and they have a much better chance of staying here than outside, and it would be nice if they could get in Deportivo La Coruna, if not.

"I know more about what you're talking about, so?"

Faced with Juan's question, Wenger coughed lightly: "Messi ......"

"Forty million."

"......" Wenger looked at him with a look like a robber, "are you sure?!" Luis Figo is only 40 million! ”

"It's a rule, whoever wants to buy Messi has to pay double the price." Juan gave the old man a subtle smile back.

“…… And what about Thiago Silva? ”

"Twenty million."

"......" Arsene Wenger really wants to kill right now.

How can a reserve in A Coruña be sold so expensive?! "I'm not kidding Mr. Dias, I really want to ask for the price."

"As a manager, I'm really telling my psychological price." Juan's expression was particularly innocent, which also made Wenger a little depressed.

…… Who didn't know you could be involved in the transfer of Deportivo La Coruna?!!

He's so envious!! He's really envious!!

Alex Ferguson and Juan Dias, why do they always run into wrongdoers who only pay money and don't interfere with specific content?!!

"Looks like we're not going to get along."

Faced with his question, Juan smiled slightly: "The player is about to enter the field, and he is out of company." ”

When he returned to his place, Juan sank his face.

Of course, he knew Wenger's famous name - "pedophile", but he didn't expect that his hands would stretch out so quickly, and there were still nearly three months before the start of the summer transfer period, is it really good to mention players now?

And let's be honest, generally speaking, Deportivo La Coruna's reserves and youth teams should rarely choose to leave, after all...... Not every team gets endorsements when they're in the reserves.

Adidas and Nike are obviously reluctant to give up the gold-absorbing land of Deportivo La Coruna, and in the end, the win-win method for both sides is actually Nike sponsors the first team, while Adidas sponsors the reserve team and the youth team...... Or rather, Adidas wants to sponsor all the echelons except the first team.

The reserves, youth teams and junior teams have sponsors, and they are not the same sponsors as the first team, which can be said to be the first in the entire football world, and Adidas can be regarded as a wealthy one, after all, no team's reserve team can generate income for the club so quickly!

Moreover, Deportivo La Coruna's contract is even better than the average contract of a mid-to-lower team, and most players can get a lot of endorsement fees for this endorsement brand.

The reserves can make money with money, but the reserves in other places don't have this benefit, whoever likes to go, they don't go anyway!

No matter how stressful it is, don't leave! Besides, stress can make people improve!

'We don't know what the managers of the two teams said before the game...... But I know it's going to be a very hearty attacking game. Frank looked at his starting lineup.

Here in Deportivo La Coruna, Pablo Aimar and Juan Bellerón returned at the same time, David Silva was on the bench, Fernando Gago was behind the two central forwards of Morientes and Portillo, Aimar, Bellerón and Riquelme formed the midfield, Andrade, Pablo Ibanez, Capdevilla and Juan Sorin formed the back, Diego López guarded the gate, and Juan only rotated Quaresma, who was violated many times in the last game and had a slight injury.

Arsene Wenger sent a 4-3-3 formation, and now Wenger can play such crazy and beautiful attacking football, which is enough to prove that their team has a lot of good players, such as Kolo Toure and Campbell in the back, Ljungberg and Cesc Fabregas in midfield, and Van Persie in the front, these are all players with excellent performances, and will become the most indestructible squad for the Gunners in the future.

From the beginning of the game, Deportivo launched an attack, and Arsenal were also not to be outdone, and launched a crazy battle with Deportivo in the midfield, striving to give Deportivo La Coruna a disadvantage with attack.

Arsenal instigated a number of brilliant attacks in the first two minutes of the game, with a cross from the wing being headed over by Gago, before Campbell's long-range shot from front of the box was denied by Diego Lopes.

Deportivo La Coruna quickly launched a counter-attack, Juan Sorin passed through to Aimar at the back, Aimar received the ball and distributed the ball to Riquelme on the right side, Riquelme wanted to cross to Belleron but was blocked by the opposing defender, and the follow-up Morientes shot again on the opposing defender and bounced off the bottom line, a corner.

Deportivo La Coruna brought in three of the back four and packed the box to the brim, putting a lot of pressure on the Arsenal backline – but they were able to push away a corner from Belleron.

Portillo intercepted the ball from the edge of the box and fired a shot straight from distance, which bounced off Riquelme on the other side of the box, and Riquelme passed the ball to Aimar, who pulled out of the box.

Aimar received the ball and turned quickly, and at the same time sent a beautiful curling ball from the edge of the penalty area, and Fernando Gago, who was inserted in the back row, met the ball and headed it straight into the net!

1 to 0!

In the first four minutes, Deportivo La Coruna scored first with a strong attack!

The Stadio riaço erupted in cheers as the two sides were attacking from the start, but before Arsenal's attack could have any effect, Deportivo La Coruna scored with a forced attack - it was not a counter-attack, it was not a dribble, but a complete suppression.

The corner kick was cleared and the long-range shot from the edge of the box bounced to the feet of Riquelme, who immediately passed straight to Aimar in front of him, and the dim Aimar completed the turn when he received the ball, and then raised his foot to send a curling ball almost without looking.

The ball spun directly over the heads of all the players in the middle of the pack in the crowded penalty area, and all Fernando Gago had to do was stretch his neck as he ran and let the ball fall on top of his head!

This series of attacks was done against an almost full-scale Arsenal defence.

Although Arsenal is attack-oriented, the team led by Wenger has a strong rear, and there is a vague sense of attacking and defending, and they are all in place when they return to defense, but they are still torn open by Deportivo Lacoruna's attack!

Three minutes later, midfielder Fernando Gago almost scored a brace.

After receiving the ball in the middle, Belleron found that Gago had stepped forward to a very good position, and the captain Laco, who didn't think much about it, sent a beautiful through pass, and Fernando Gago formed a single knife, but unfortunately his shot was touched by the opponent's goalkeeper after breaking into the penalty area and flew directly out of the bottom line.

Bellerón takes a corner and Portillo's header goes high in the middle of the chaos.

Juan sighed softly from the sidelines, but applauded.

It's a bit of a shame to miss a single shot, but Fernando Gago was happy with his performance today.

The Argentine midfielder is not very good in all aspects, ball control, breakthrough, speed, and confrontation can only be regarded as mid-stream, but his passing ability and ability to pass the last pass are quite top-notch, so in comparison, the "stadium panacea" is really the best position.

In the ninth minute, Bergkamp took a lob from outside the box and the ball was held in the arms of Diego López, who was in a good position.

In the twelfth minute, Diego López saved Henry's shot, Deportivo launched a counter-attack, and Bellerón passed straight to Morientes, who got up from the edge of the box and fired a shot that was saved by the goalkeeper.

In the fourteenth minute, Henry's powerful long-range shot from 20 yards out was blocked by Diego López.

In the 17th minute, Portillo fired a long-range shot from 25 yards out of goal, Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann saved the ball, and Belleron followed up with a follow-up shot, which was blocked by opposing defender Kolo Toure with his body.

In the eighteenth, twentieth and twenty-fifth minutes, Diego López made three consecutive saves to keep Deportivo La Coruna's door open, and after a period of entanglement, their heavy pressing in front finally had the effect it should have!

Belleron cut off a pass from Arsenal and then made a one-two with Aimar before slotting into the box, where he looked up to see what was going on inside the box.

Morientes was at the back post, and he raised his hand to ask for the ball, which is still a rare thing on the pitch, so Belleron immediately raised his foot and crossed in surprise.

When the Arsenal defenders were shocked and pounced on Morientes to stop his shot, Portillo appeared in the middle and fired a shot directly at the ball from Belleron, which was completely unexpected by the Arsenal defenders and goalkeepers, whose attention was all on Morientes, and their goalkeeper Lehmann was still blocking the back post as the ball flew into the goal......

Two to zero! Deportivo La Coruna extended their lead in the thirty-first minute!

“al！！ Portillo!! After the initial run-in, this pair began to become compatible, and at the same time showed its own attack power!! Frank slapped the table, "I knew it!!" Juan, this kid really can't hide his true nature for half a season! He looks cold, but he's actually a crazy guy! ”

"......," Dean looked at him helplessly.

At the beginning, Juan Díaz still hid his fangs, but after half a season, in the face of the aggressiveness of the media and the contempt of various coaches, he finally tore through the amiable paper.

— or rather, that's what suits you best.

At the beginning, Juan still had the youthfulness of a rookie coach who had just debuted, and he always couldn't let go when facing the media, but at today's pre-game press conference, Juan said something very exciting with an indifferent expression as before.

"I know a lot of people are waiting to see my jokes right now...... So what? They all lost anyway. ”

"What, kindness? What is that, is it useful, can it be eaten, can it be won by Deportivo La Coruna? ”

"No nonsense from you and me!"

"Football is a war in peacetime and I don't want the day in the future when I am beaten by a team and the manager of the opposing team pretends to say to me, 'You guys are playing well, keep working hard next time'...... For me, it's humiliating! ”

"In football, competition is the norm, as long as there is an opportunity, I will do whatever it takes to beat the other party, above board, and never retreat!"

"There may be like-minded people, but there must be no less enemies! For me, having opponents is the most interesting thing! ”

"Sir? He is my guide, and I respect him. Jose Mourinho? We haven't met each other yet, and we don't know him very well. Luxemberg ...... Honestly, don't you really want to mention Coach Arsene Wenger? Today is Arsenal vs Deportivo La Coruna. ”

I don't know what other people think, anyway, this pre-match press conference can be said to be full of tension and passion, for someone to have such an aggressive side under that cold face, most people are surprised and more surprised.

After all, Juan has always looked like a Nordic boy made of ice and snow, and his whole style is not in tune with the Iberian Peninsula, and many people have doubted his ancestry and whether his mother is cheating or something...... However, Eugenia of the Albert family directly rebuked these false conjectures.

But now, everyone's doubts are gone.

This rebelliousness, this passion, this aggressiveness, if it is not produced in the Iberian Peninsula, no one will believe it! 166 Reading Network
