Chapter 142
Anderson was running into the half of Deportivo La Coruna, he was actually a little worried, after all, the person in front of him was Fernando Redondo, but after a whole half of the first half, Villarreal's overall players found that Redondo went to stay in his own circle and couldn't move.
All of a sudden, all the commentators had different opinions, some said that Redondo was injured and had to play and couldn't move, and some said that Redondo was old, but soon, Redondo told everyone to shut up.
He glanced at Anderson lightly, then moved under Juan's unbearable gaze, stepping out of the area he had planned for no more than a small exclusion zone.
Seeing Redondo slowly leaning in Anderson's direction, Alan looked at Juan with some tears and laughter.
"Is this also your ruse?"
Seriously, at the beginning, he was a little surprised when he heard that Juan asked the big guy to just stay in such a small place, but he was keen after all, and soon found all kinds of demon tails dangling behind their little boss, and then seeing that the big guy didn't seem to have any objection, he held back and didn't speak.
However, now, the big guy seems to really can't stand it anymore on the court, and Alan subconsciously looks at the people around him and finds that Juan has a strange smile on his face.
…… He knew that this man was definitely not just for Diego López!
Juan, you're going to be beaten up by the big guy like this, I'll tell you!
Juan also noticed the look in Allen's eyes beside him, but he only replied with a "calm down" expression: "Don't worry, the big guy knows it."
"......" The big guy knows what he knows, but he doesn't know if you count it in your heart......
As they spoke, the ball went straight at Anderson, as they subconsciously forgot about Redondo's existence in the first half, and then they quickly paid the price.
Anderson did get the ball, he even had time to turn around, but that was the end.
When he turned around and wanted to kick the ball forward, his feet were empty, almost stumbling, he didn't know when a person was standing next to him, silently with coldness, without a trace of fireworks, the football was like a bird singing on a branch at his feet.
"Wonderful! Redondo's steal is simply pleasing to the eye, Anderson is just a kung fu to turn around and get the ball, and in such a small and short gap time, only Redondo has the ability to snatch the ball down! ”
Frank slapped his thigh and yelled, "Who said Redondo is old?" Even though he is now 36 years old, his threat on the court should not be underestimated, although I don't know why, until now, he has only been operating in a small area of his own area, but now, the former world number one midfielder has shown the level of his own......
"Real Madrid has been in existence for the first time in 104 years, and for the first time he has surrendered to one person, and the whole Bernabeu has worshipped him as a prince, and all this has already represented his own ability." Dean coughed lightly, "Poor Anderson is still stupid, he doesn't know what he's done wrong, and the football has disappeared from his feet." ”
"The main thing is that Redondo is so unconventional," Frank laughed, "In the first half, he was motionless and watched Anderson score two goals, how could Redondo's temper be so good?" ”
"That's right, this person has a bad temper but is famous in the whole La Liga, although the style of play is very elegant, but if this person's temper really comes up, no matter who goes up and beats ......"
Dean said this for a reason, before he didn't partner with Frank, it was about a decade ago, he was mainly responsible for commenting on the situation of a mid-table team in La Liga with another person, and every time he met Real Madrid, their grumpy prince was interviewed in the mixed zone with a "I'm annoying you now, I'll kill whoever dares to come", which made many media daunted.
Although Redondo's temper seems to have subsided a lot after going to AC Milan, and he has even learned to smile politely at the media, most people still miss his long hair and cold eyebrows with the media.
What the media did not expect was that their wish was soon granted, and although they did not grow their hair again, the expression on the Argentine's face returned to a cold look, all of which happened after coming to A Coruña, which made most of the media grateful.
Redondo didn't press frantically after winning the ball, but began to patiently organize the attack, and he felt that it was time to teach the group of cubs on the field a vivid anti-counterattack lesson.
Manuel Pellegrini was nervous on the sidelines, thinking about what to do, Deportivo Deportivo would be solid after Redondo's start of playing, and after shrinking the formation, Villarreal's current attack is completely about playing more with less, and once the space is compressed by the opponent in a small area, it will quickly lose possession.
…… Yes, just like that.
After being beaten on the counter-attack, Villarreal's front of the goal was simply a rumor, seeing that Redondo did not pass the ball, but went to Villarreal with the ball, he can be said to be a typical example of where to play, the pass is terrifyingly accurate, and he is the only one in Deportivo who can make accurate passes.
Deportivo La Coruna has a lot of midfield playmakers, and now their main ability distribution range is - whoever is more suitable for the position will be the midfield playmaker, there will be absolutely no complaints, and the whole team is in harmony.
After all, they usually come from all kinds of hell when they are training, everyone knows each other's catties, and they also know how far they can go, and when their teammates are very powerful, they don't need to force themselves to do things that are not suitable.
The difference in the quality of the midfielders is best reflected in the counter-attack.
If you hesitate for a second to hit the ball, maybe a single ball will become a half one.
The route is not optimal, it cannot be the most direct threat to the opponent's goal, and perhaps half a single knife becomes a positional battle.
Of all the midfielders for Deportivo La Coruna, Redondo is arguably the most mature, with an excellent sense of the big picture and his ability to read the game, when to plug in, when to drop back to defend deeper, and when to fill in. He knows when he chooses to pass the ball without passing the ball.
Arua Bagner pressed up, even though he knew that he was slow, but he comforted himself in his heart, Redondo is not the type of person who is very fast!
However, Redondo was not so stupid, he played a beautiful one-two with Belleron on the side, and then passed the ball to Riquelme, turned and ran forward, Riquelme immediately sent a ball over the top of the head, over the head of Arua Bagner!
"Poor Arua Bagner, who has been teased twice by Riquelme today......" Frank said pitifully, but still gloating.
The ball didn't fall at Redondo's feet, but flew in front of him, and Redondo was very good at receiving such goals, although he was not fast, but it was easy for him to adjust his pace.
…… After all, he is not Riquelme's stupid and bold, daring to stop the ball and use his speed to eat other people's defenders.
Of course, the main thing is that he knows that such an approach is not suitable for him.
Arua Bagner was dragged again, seeing that he would definitely not be able to catch up with Redondo, Villarreal had another person rushing to the side, that person was Gonzalo, seeing Gonzalo leave, Batalha quickly ran to the middle of the penalty area to play as a cameo central defender to help Gonzalo make up for the defense.
"Nice quick counterattack! The speed of Aimar and Riquelme's two wings is no less than that of Villarreal, or rather, these two men are not only fast, but also treacherous, and their passing routes are simply difficult to predict what will happen! ”
Although in terms of fame, Riquelme and Aimar are not as good as Redondo, but they have also fought side by side in the Argentine national team, and this kind of thing can be said to be their specialty, and a series of smooth passes directly set off a wave of cheers in the stands of Liazor Stadium.
Gonzalo pounced violently, and at this moment, Aimar, who was holding the ball, slammed the football inward with his heel, and at the same time stopped and turned around, Villarreal's main central defender was not so easy to deceive, he saw Aimar raise his feet, and at the same time followed by a sudden brake, and the opponent stopped and he stopped!
"Aimar has failed!"
But is that the end of it?
Of course not!
He's a clown, the most skilled and difficult clown in the entire circus!
After a quick stop, Aimar then turned the ball with his right foot and slid the ball towards the baseline, looking like he was going to take a throw-in, but he changed direction again.
Gonzalo's reaction was still very fast, Aimar started to start, and he moved with him, although he couldn't dismantle as fast as Aimar, but he still had a pair of legs!
Now that it's very close to the baseline, Aimar will either choose to cross or give up the ball directly to take a throw-in, which Aimar has liked in the past against Valencia!
He's already figured out this man's routine!
Sure enough, Gonzalo stretched out his leg to block Aimar's cross, and the Argentina international did cross it, but his cross route was higher than Gonzalo's outstretched leg......
The ball arcs high in the air and crashes in front of Villarreal!
"Aimar's cross! The cross was of high quality, and although it was influenced by Gonzalo, it flew in the direction of the goal, where Deportivo two centre-forwards were already waiting to be fed! ”
Morientes and Portillo were ready to scramble for headers, flanked by Villarreal's two defenders and a defensive midfielder, who looked crowded in front of goal.
With so many people huddling in front of him, Reiner quickly weighed it in his mind.
Holding the ball directly may be in danger of getting out of his hands, otherwise he will simply hit it hard......
That's what he thought and that's what he did, his fist hit the ball and he managed to get it out of the box, but it wasn't Villarreal's player who received the ball outside, it was Redondo in the blue and white jersey!
“…… I [beep!!] Pellegrini finally couldn't hold back and cursed on the sidelines.
He thought he could finally end the Deportivo coach's winning streak, and even when he equalised several times, he was starting to doubt it.
…… Juan Díaz conceded so many goals in this game, and the score on both sides was so close, why wouldn't he be training in Navillarreal? ?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and before he could say anything, he saw that Redondo's stop this time was not intentional or not, and the ball fell and bounced in front of him.
Arua Bagner rushed up to break the ball, risking himself being kicked, but Redondo would let him break so easily?
He didn't even look at Arua Bagner, he just put on a posture.
Although the football bounced back and delayed him, it was just in time...... He can just hit the volley!
Although he attacks less and shoots less, that doesn't mean he won't attack and shoot!
"Redondo's powerful volley from outside the box!!"
Reina's reaction was not unavoidable, when he landed, he saw that the person who received the ball was a blue and white striped shirt, so he jumped up from the ground again and pounced in the direction where the football flew from!
But at this time, his teammates blocked his view, and at this time, Gonzalo was right between Morientes and him, and if it wasn't for his teammate Garcia, then the ball would be eight times out of ten. Nine was able to let him catch it directly, but Garcia stretched out a foot to block the football as it flew over, and the football bounced on his knee and changed direction directly.
At this time, even if Reina is possessed by God, there is nothing he can do with this goal that flies in the opposite direction.
Everyone watched as the ball flew through the crowd and into the other half of the goal.
Juan, Allen, the fans in the stands, and the fans in front of the TV couldn't help it, and they just stood up and jumped.
“al!! A Coruña !! ”
Although the evenly matched game is very good, anyone who watched Deportivo LaCoruna's previous games knows that Deportivo seems to have been put in an invisible shackle this time, and almost did not play the strength it should have, especially in the midfield, the big guy even moved very little distance in the first half.
Is this really good?!
But now, the Deportivo they knew was back!
"Another quick counterattack! What is surprising is that the person who organized the attack this time is actually Redondo, is Deportivo going to usher in a feast of gorgeous attacks?! Frank was a little excited.
"What's unexpected, Redondo is the core of the midfield......" Dean glanced at him and sighed, "To be honest, my sister has said that in La Liga for so many years, but a player in the same position as Redondo who can compete with him, I haven't seen it until now, even Pep Guardiola is a notch behind him." And it's not appropriate to describe Redondo as gorgeous, he always plays with grace, elegance, confidence, and composure...... I've only felt this kind of dominance in two French players, one is Eric Cantona and the other is Zinedine Zidane. ”
"That's true...... There are really fewer and fewer people with such temperament among the current players, and I don't know if the young people in the future will have such a demeanor in the future. ”
"Maybe there will be, maybe not, Deportivo has a lot of children, maybe there will be a second Redondo level player in the future, but there will definitely not be a second Redondo."
"...... are you referring to a player of Redondo's level?"
"As long as he's there, the Champions League will remain at least the top four, such a level."
"So you're optimistic about Deportivo La Coruna's next Champions League game?"
"You're not optimistic? I don't think Lyon have a domestic team to play against......"
At this, both men laughed, not because of what they were talking about about Lyon, but because there was something wrong with the celebration on the part of A Coruña.
After celebrating, Redondo slowly ran to the edge of the court, and he didn't know whether to drink water or wipe his sweat, Juan had been waiting there early, holding a tissue in one hand and a water bottle in the other, how to look at it, when Redondo leaned over, Juan smiled and stretched out his hand directly: "Big guy, what do you want?" ”
Redondo had actually been staring at him for a while when he walked over, and Juan was a little furious when he looked at him, but he also knew that his little conspiracy and tricks would definitely be discovered soon.
For example, although Redondo was still very serious in all the previous games, it was just professionalism, and he couldn't see his passion for football at all, probably because Romario's slump these days had affected him, and Juan could only make this decision, let him also come to his senses, and in the name of exercising Diego López, he would have some fun for the big guys
…… Of course, he had already thought about the consequences of being discovered, and their big guy stood in front of him and looked at him with a very unspeakable gaze, and then gently hugged him, just when Juan was flattered, Redondo said softly: "Go back and settle the account slowly." ”
"......" Juan opened his mouth, a little crying and laughing.
Well, he's also thinking about the big guy!!
After the game, in the mixed interview area, Redondo made a rare opening.
'I don't have any opinion on this game, I don't have anything to say, my team-mates are all good, working together, facing everything together, playing with young people, I feel like my mentality has become younger, hehe.
That sentence directly scared a few people around who made mistakes on the field today, and they all knew what it was like for the big guy to say that his mentality became younger......
It's not all angry with them......
