Chapter 128

“Gooooal！ Hat-trick! Morientes scored his third goal of the game to help Deportivo La Coruna extend the advantage of the score! Deportivo La Coruna were clearly better in the second half, with a quick and decisive attack, a memorable display of key players, and Quaresma's brilliant breakthroughs and crosses, will a second Cristiano Ronaldo be born? ”

Morientes just arrived, not knowing Laco's unwritten rules, he rushed directly to the sidelines, trying to hug Juan, but his teammates cut him off, and he was directly thrown to the ground by his teammates, and even the players on the bench couldn't help but rush over and play Arhat over there.

Juan looked at their situation and couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, he didn't pass, otherwise what if he would have been crushed to death this time?

In the final period of the game, Deportivo La Coruna really couldn't attack, not that the ball couldn't pass to the front, but that the players couldn't maintain a fast pace and run at high speed to plug in to receive the ball.

Juan had already discovered in midfield that after adopting such a tactic, Deportivo La Coruna's physical consumption was very large, but in the face of a team like Arsenal, to be honest, he couldn't find any other way than this style of play.

Now that the game is almost in the final hour, Juan thinks about the situation on the field for a while

Andrade and Capdevilla, the two full-backs are tired and out of breath, and the two of them are frequently inserted when the team is strong in attack and defense, and the intensity of running straight up and down is really amazing......

Juan returned to the coach's bench and took a sip of water, while subconsciously looking at anyone who could be replaced, only to be almost blinded as soon as his gaze shifted.

- David Lewis staring at him with his eyes that sparkle like puppy begging.

The young coach realised something, squinting his eyes back at the Brazilian and then deliberately turning his gaze to Thiago Silva to the side.

Pompons immediately wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Thiago Candid Silva immediately noticed that the expression of Pompons next to him was wrong, and he immediately turned his head and patted the child's furry head with concern: "What's wrong?" Under the weather? ”

Pompons looked at him with a sad face, and buried his head in his arms sullenly: "It's nothing ......"

Anyway, it is true that Thiago Silva is more suitable than him to change at this time, both in terms of age and experience, so he can only quietly cover his face and squat down depressedly.

"Thiago."

Sure enough, Juan called Thiago's name, and the Brazilian immediately answered and got up.

"Take that thing with you, too."

That thing?

But there's nothing next to him?

Could it be ......

Thiago blinked and looked back, just in time to meet Pompons, who had raised his head and looked blank.

“……”

"Oh! A Coruña has been replaced! Frank looked down, "Thiago Silva replaces Ricardo Quaresma and David Luiz replaces Fernando Morientes...... F*ck, Juan Díaz confessed?! ”

"Where did you say you confessed?" Dean was full of helplessness, "At a glance, I knew that Arsenal would definitely fight back wildly, leaving Quaresma and Morientes as targets on the field?" Don't forget, Arsenal is a Premier League team, no matter how technical they are, and Deportivo strikers may not be able to hold up if they are forced to do so. ”

"You have a point...... Frank nodded, "it feels like the Arsenal players are going crazy at this point." ”

"Why, I feel like Arsene Wenger is going crazy." Dean was a little helpless.

Isn't that crazy? Arsenal's effect on playing the middle is very poor, with Redondo, Gago and others guarding the defense in the middle, and Riquelme in front of him taking the initiative to retreat, Deportivo La Coruna is not worried about Arsenal's attack from the middle.

With such a dense defensive area, it is difficult for even Bergkamp and Thierry Henry to make a statement.

However, under the command of Wenger, Bergkamp and Henry played straight to the middle in unison, and Vieira also inserted assists to participate in the coordination and organization of the attack in the middle, so that there are more people in the middle, and there is no room for passing and cutting.

Arsenal's mistakes became frequent, after all, they were not suited to the route of midfield, and Vieira's through ball was cut off by Gago, who crossed the ball diagonally to the unmarked Van Persie on the right flank.

The Dutchman directly went over the top after receiving the ball to his compatriot seniors, and Bergkamp instantly succeeded in countering offside, but Van Persie's goal was not very powerful, and he had Capdevilla by his side who had been disrupting him, so he was not able to park the ball quickly, the football bounced on his instep, and the landing distance was a little far.

I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, Bergkamp was on the edge of the small box when he received the ball, Bergkamp sent the ball directly towards Deportivo La Coruna's goal, and Diego López came out to collect the ball in his arms.

However, things didn't get much better, Arsenal's two full-backs also stepped forward at this time, Campbell dribbled the ball all the way forward on the wing, and hit the wall with Vieira and Ljungberg to cooperate with Redondo, Ljungberg dribbled the ball on the side, and Thiago Silva or David Luiz came up from the goal to cross directly from 45° to the goal.

David Luiz forced a header from his height to clear the ball, but the landing point was grabbed by Arsenal, Henry's long-range shot was blocked by Diego Lopes, the football did not run far, it was still in the penalty area, Van Persie grabbed Thiago Silva to save the ball and stabbed it directly, but unfortunately the angle was not good enough, Diego Lopes was busy with a flying save to save the football again.

On two consecutive saves, he was overperforming, but unfortunately, this time he also failed to seal the ball out of bounds.

In the midst of the chaos, Bergkamp burst out and almost pushed the ball into Deportivo with his knees!

“Gooooal！！！ Dennis Bergkamp!! The Ice Prince of Highbury!! Arsenal pulled one back and our Prince's goal gave Arsene Wenger a chance to live, with 12 minutes left and Deportivo two goals behind Deportivo La Coruna! ”

The Highbury Stadium fans were instantly rejuvenated and began to roar in relay from the stands, waving flags and scarves in their hands, shouting on the team to keep up the good work.

Goal!! Goal!!

Two more !!

"It's been a crazy game." Dean sighed, "And I can finally see a gap clearly now......"

"What gap?" Frank replied very kindly.

"Why am I just a 'tactical encyclopedia' of the interpretive world, and Professor Wenger ...... can lead Arsenal to 49 games unbeaten and go straight to the Champions League. Dean looked at the old man who was applauding indifferently on the side of the court, and sighed lightly, some people's experience and vision are really not comparable to them.

- But Arsene Wenger admits it, what about Juan Dias?

This person was still a player the year before last, and now he has risen to the level of head coach, and he is indeed undefeated, is there really such a genius as "one point" in this world?

Juan was unmoved by the team's loss of the goal, or rather, he didn't even react at all, and sat in the dugout chatting with his assistant coach Allen, ignoring his assistant coach who was about to jump to his feet.

"Juan!! We were scored again!! You have to think of a way!! Alan was so anxious that he shook his legs, and that was because Juan kept pressing him to prevent him from jumping, otherwise he might have had to tell what he would.

"What's the hurry?" Juan smiled at him, very calm: "Don't we still have two away goal difference?" ”

"Uh, but ......"

"There's nothing to do, Alan, you have to calm down, we had a good performance in the first half." Juan spread his hands very calmly, "And we have almost removed all the attackers, what else to attack?" ”

"......" Alan looked back at the players who were sitting on the bench talking and laughing.

"Okay, you have to believe in our players." Juan patted him on the shoulder very easily, "Are you nervous, do you want a snack?" ”

“……”

When Deportivo La Coruna restarted the ball, Riquelme passed the ball back and did not run forward.

Deportivo also seemed to be running out of energy at this point, and they began to use guò to stall for time, and Wenger knew what that meant - the Deportivo players couldn't run.

With the score leading and the game coming to an end, this tactic of delaying time is not a shame to use, and others can accuse Deportivo La Coruna of delaying time, which they can interpret as controlling the rhythm and patiently looking for opportunities.

Anyway, it's us who will win, so it doesn't matter what we do!

When Arsenal began to press all over the field, Deportivo still continued to go to the backfield, at most a few long passes from the backfield to drive the ball forward.

On one or two occasions, Portillo actually got his hands on the ball, but when he was about to take the ball and turn forward, Collo Toure came up and fired the ball off the touchline.

Although Portillo knew that the man had a yellow card on him and would not necessarily continue to be so excited, he still felt that he had better be careful when he thought about the rumours of "tackles on Thierry Henry, Bergkamp and Arsene Wenger" in a row......

And what's worse is that the ball is still Deportivo La Coruna's.

Deportivo La Coruna is really not in a hurry, they still have a two-goal lead, so David Luiz, who went out to kick off, looked around with the football, and didn't know who he was looking for, he had been waiting for the person to receive the ball to come forward, and it took seven or eight seconds for the football to return to the field, and he threw it directly to Thiago Silva.

As soon as Thiago Silva got the ball, there were many Arsenal players around him who stepped forward to press, after all, this person debuted with an own goal, so Arsenal was still relatively calm about him taking the ball, and Thiago Silva also knew that he was not lethal with the ball, so after watching it for a while, he passed the ball back to Riquelme.

Riquelme and Thiago Silva were two different things, so the Arsenal players quickly surrounded them, but the Argentine suddenly accelerated to break through, leaving most of them behind.

His choice caught his opponents off guard, and at the same time caught the commentators by surprise.

"Juan Riquelme chose to break through the entire Arsenal defence on the touchline! What's even more surprising is that he really did it!! ”

But if you cut inside with the ball towards the goal, you will definitely be intercepted halfway, because in terms of distance, he is further away from the goal.

Juan Riquelme carried the ball all the way up to the corner flag, and then protected the ball with his back to resist Campbell, no matter how hard he tried, Campbell couldn't touch the football, and Campbell, who was a little annoyed and angry, reached out and pushed Riquelme out of the field with the ball.

"Well, the referee signaled for a foul on Campbell...... It's not such a hurry, it's just pushing people out of the court. ”

"It's too immature, and I don't have any experience with a striker like Riquelme, otherwise it might have been better."

“…… Not necessarily. Dean didn't dare to speak at all now, "Honestly, no matter how good-tempered a person is, it's a headache for a player like Riquelme......"

'Deportivo continued to have the ball, as the clock ticked by, Arsenal barely had a chance to touch the ball, so how could they equalise if they couldn't even get the ball?'

Deportivo took the set-piece in front of them, with only two people in front of them, one was Riquelme who kicked off and the other was Portillo who was ready to receive the ball.

Van Persie had already run to Portillo's side, ready to have a big battle with him to catch the ball, but Riquelme just didn't kick off the ball, but reached out to the referee.

- Referee, there's not enough distance for a guy to retreat!

The referee immediately pointed to Van Persie and asked him to retreat, but Van Persie waved his hand innocently, and Manchester United protested indignantly against Riquelme's delay, the referee just gave him a blank look, unmoved, and Van Persie could only choose to retreat.

Sure enough, after getting the ball, Portillo rushed to the ground with the ball without looking back...... Corner Flag Zone.

The fans at Highbury Field couldn't help but let out a huge boo.

What a team this is! What is this!!

Deportivo La Coruna doesn't want to delay the game!! Who's going to take care of them!!

Juan didn't care at all about the boos on the field, after all, this is just a common strategy on the court, and "garbage time" actually means the same thing, but garbage time requires the tacit understanding of the players on both sides, and now they take the initiative to drag the rhythm in.

What's more, it is not without benefits to do so, which can discourage the opponent's fighting spirit, so that Arsenal's formation must retreat, otherwise their line will definitely be stretched, and Deportivo La Coruna is not stupid, if they really have the opportunity, they will still shoot on goal.

Arsenal were forced back into their own half, but as soon as the numbers came up, they were about to start encircling Deportivo La Coruna, Riquelme protected the ball again, but this time it was Collo Toure who came up to break the ball, he and Campbell both intercepted and kicked off, Riquelme weighed the pros and cons and simply avoided the impact and gave away the ball.

As soon as he got the ball, Chloe Toure was full of energy and drove forward with a big foot.

However, Arsenal basically stayed in their own half at this time, and the people in the opposite half were in front of them, and they couldn't catch up for a while.

Two short and one long, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Arsenal players wiped their sweat and looked up at the score.

3:5, home and away.

'It's been a long time since Arsenal have been two goals behind the other team at home. Frank sighed with some emotion, "The Deportivo players finally started to celebrate after the game, especially the two young men, today is the Champions League opening match of David Luiz and Thiago Silva, and it is the quarterfinals, the opponent is Arsenal, it seems that Juan Dias values these two children very much." ”

'Dias and Arsene Wenger shook hands on the sidelines, there was no exchange between the two men, and we couldn't see any joy on the faces of either coaches...... Wenger I can understand, Dias? ”

"I guess it's because of those three goals." Dean raised an eyebrow and looked at the end of the court, Juan didn't seem to be going to the post-match press conference, his assistant coach was standing next to him and was babbling about something, he just glanced at it with an eyebrow, and then nodded.

"There were eight goals and a lot of great shots, and from the perspective of those of us who watched the game, it might have been a classic head-to-head battle, but ...... It's not like Deportivo and Arsenal. ”

'When have Arsenal scored five goals in a game?'

"Deportivo sometimes can't concede three goals in five games, right?"

Indeed, now Juan is thinking about something similar.

In this game, Deportivo La Coruna is not the dominant one.

They basically relied on the individual ability and fighting spirit of the players to play this game, not to mention domination, and the fact of chasing three goals in a row made him unable to let go for a long time.

Passively adjusting the countermeasures according to Arsenal's offensive and defensive posture, to be honest, Juan was not happy to win this game.

So in the dressing room, when everyone was relaxing, Juan calmly said to all the players: "Today's victory is commendable, the Champions League has just begun, and we must not be complacent...... Also, we will talk about conceding three goals when we go back to Deportivo La Coruna. ”

He didn't say it too seriously, it wasn't necessary, it was enough to keep the players clear-headed, but even so, there were some players with a muscle twitch in their faces.

A Coruña's Hell Training......

Juan still couldn't resist Alan's plea to attend the press conference, and the first sharp question that came up made him silent for a while.

"Deportivo scored five goals in this game, but the backline conceded three, which is almost equal to the total number of goals conceded in your six group games, is this the reason for the huge drop in the quality of Deportivo Deportivo at the back?"

"First of all, we are still the same people, and we are not playing against the same type of team, we are facing Arsenal, who have an unbeatable unbeaten record from last season to this season, and I am very happy with my players to be able to achieve this result against such a team."

The reporters in the audience looked at it with a very complicated look.

- To be honest, if you don't look at the score, they still think that Deportivo La Coruna has been by someone away from home, and then they are convinced to say some kind words.

But the one who won two goal difference at this time is Deportivo La Coruna?!

This dad, did you get the wrong script?!

Juan coughed lightly and continued: "Football is not scientific, it is difficult for you to find all the reasons for a goal or a goal conceded, morale, mentality, play at key moments and other factors account for a large factor, it can be said that football is full of passion and infinite possibilities. ”

'We got lucky to win today, but that doesn't mean we're on the same level as Arsenal, Deportivo still has a long way to go.

After the press conference, Juan was ready to return to Spain with the team, but before he could do so, he received an invitation from a man.

Juan looked at his phone and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Go back first, I'm going to stay here for a while." Juan calmly put away his phone, put on his sunglasses casually, and then jumped off the bus and waved at them.

"Huh?" Allen, who was following behind, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay......"

To be honest, Juan's friends are a little too many in the world, why do there are still acquaintances in London?!

Juan also can't say all kinds of bitterness, he found a coffee shop outside Highbury and waited for someone, and now a ** gun fan has come out of the stadium, swearing in his mouth, Juan doesn't have to think about it, there must be his name in it, the kind that has this long swear word.

…… Honestly, he's pretty dangerous here.

Juan wanted to smile wryly, or was the man's original purpose to keep him here and then be killed by the gun fans?

Probably not, right??

Even Juan is a little cautious standing here.

You say, the team lost the game, but when you are in a bad mood, what should you do when you see the head coach of the opposing team standing in front of you?
