Chapter 90

When the third round of the league approaches, La Liga starts to be lively.

Deportivo La Coruna are arguably the most talked-about team in La Liga so far, and their style of play over the past few rounds is so varied that it's hard to figure out, and if I had to say anything, their only trait is one word – change.

The editor-in-chief of Marca lamented in his column: "Deportivo La Coruna is known as the ex-boyfriend club, where almost half of the people are people who have been abandoned by the giants, and it is this group of people who make up the new Super Laco that makes La Liga fearful...... In this round of the league, Deportivo La Coruna is going to visit Camp Nou, can the 'ex-boyfriends' make a beautiful comeback this time and prove to the original club that it was wrong to abandon them? Let's wait and see! ”

However, it is clear that although most of the Marca newspapers are praising and encouraging A Coruña, there are still some people who express their dissatisfaction, and in the club-themed bar of A Coruña, the uncle pours a beer and slaps the glass on the table, shouting loudly and dissatisfied.

"What the hell is my ex-boyfriend, we are neither La Masia Film and Television Academy Laco here, nor Castile Martial Arts School Laco, how can this broken newspaper say that it seems that we Deportivo are specifically picking up rags for those wealthy families!"

"It's just ......"

"And all in all, our Deportivo La Coruna must be more attractive than those giants, we are not very competitive here, and the people are still very good, right?"

"yes, yes, it's just that the head coach is too young......"

"That's right, the head coach is really young, he has no experience or anything, and the director is very frightened when I watch every game now......"

"Actually, it's okay to be frightened, after a few games, although the tactics are very novel, but they still rely on some conventional tactical adaptations, and the problem is not very big."

"The main next game is against Barcelona, although they haven't won the league title for six years, but this year I think they have a lot of hope......

"Yes, yes, Ronaldinho, tsk, the football wizard is really not covered, it is a pleasure to watch him play......"

"Actually, it's acceptable to lose to Barcelona......"

The uncle couldn't help but cough lightly, and then looked at the unnoticed corner of the bar, where there was a man sitting quietly, with a beer in front of him, and his slender fingers tapped on the table, looking casual.

But the uncle knew that the person sitting there was the person they were talking about now, and it was good to say whatever he wanted behind his back before, but now he ...... This is saying bad things about others in front of them!

Others don't know yet, only the uncle is alone there left and right, and everyone here is ignorant and unconscious, the more he talks, the more he goes too far, he coughed several times to remind everyone to be a little more restrained, and was teased "Is it a cold?" "Or are you kidney-deficient?"

Annoyed, the uncle poured down a sip of beer and began to shout, "Don't do this, we can win this round!" ”

"Hahaha, Engel, we've been watching Deportivo for so many years, and the only thing we can guarantee over the years is Real Madrid." Someone replied to him very shamelessly.

Indeed, Real Madrid has been on a winless streak at Deportivo La Coruna's home stadium for almost five years, which has led the entire La Liga to believe that the Riazor Stadium is the nemesis exclusively for Real Madrid.

"I don't know if I can beat Real Madrid now......" Someone at the scene sighed so lowly, and the atmosphere of the whole audience cooled down all of a sudden.

Uncle Engel had been secretly watching the corner of the bar, and the person sitting there was Juan, the last time he came here was his birthday, and I don't know what special day it was, but at this time, the whole bar was still singing about their home team and manager......

Engel thinks to himself, if he changes his words, he will be very sad and angry, he is forty-three years old this year, but he has always been very dead to A Coruña, when he hears these family members say that his family is not good, he will not be happy, what will Juan think?

"Don't sulk, Engel." The bar owner put a beer in front of him and said with a smile: "It's not that you don't know them, you like to say these discouraged words before the game starts to save people's character, just for the team, huh?" ”

"I'm just uncomfortable, we should have been supporting the team to win, why do you say these bad things? And is it really useful to accumulate character or something, why can't we support our team openly? Engel sighed and took a sip of his beer.

"That's why you don't grow up," the boss smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "We've been in this shop for more than ten years, but Engel, you haven't changed at all over the years." ”

"What do I have to change?" Engel sighed and looked up, "Do you really think we won't win?" ”

The owner was silent for a moment and smiled: "From the point of view of a Laco fan, I would love the club to win the game, but from my personal intellectual point of view, Deportivo La Coruna ...... Difficult. ”

Engel was frustrated all of a sudden, their boss has always acted calmly, and the analysis is also a rational line, what he said must be what he thinks in his heart, and he knows it after so many years of getting along.

"It's hard, but you have to try, don't you?" Beside him, a soft, slightly hoarse voice floated slowly, and as soon as Engel subconsciously turned his head, he saw the baseball cap that had been pressed low, and the gold threads and beautifully shaped chin that peeked out of the baseball cap.

"Ah, it's you, young man." The boss has a knack for memorizing people's impressions, and most of his shops are regular customers, or friends who have been brought in by old customers, and it is rare for this young man to come alone with his hat so low.

The boss went to pour him a beer unconsciously, and Engel subconsciously shivered, looking at the man with some trepidation.

He said that he suddenly felt a burst of cold air just now, and the bar was a little cooler, and at first he thought that Engel had turned down the temperature of the air conditioner......

The last time he said that the young man was Juan Díaz, no one believed him, and after laughing and laughing, they thought he had drunk too much.

How could Juan Díaz be in a bar in the middle of the night!

Engel, who has explained this many times, has not been understood by everyone, and he can only turn the page without mentioning this peculiar experience.

And today, he met this man again!

Engel's breathing began to rapid, and the young man beside him seemed to be unconscious, and sat down casually while waiting for the beer, as if he were just waiting for the drink to arrive.

Engel swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "What did you just say...... How do you know if you don't try? ”

"Any questions?" The young man bowed his head at him.

"That'...... Do we already have a trick up our sleeve or something? Engel lowered his voice excitedly, and the others in the bar began to heckle when they saw that Engel had begun to talk to a young man who seemed to be somewhat familiar.

"Hey Engel, you're molesting children again!"

"It's not easy for young people to come here to have a drink, don't bully others casually!"

The scene was so giggling, only he was in a cold sweat.

What is a young man, what is a child, can it be called Juan?!

The man called the child did not get angry, but replied very calmly: "Whether I am a child or not, you will find out tomorrow night." ”

Tomorrow night is the match between Barcelona and Deportivo La Coruna, and as soon as I heard him say this, the weird uncles in the audience began to heckle: "Oh oh!! It seems that the children have a good night plan~"

"I'm so envious, I also want to have a beautiful girlfriend to watch the game with me, and then roll around in bed together for the whole game!"

"It's like when you start a game and you have the heart to roll the sheets with your girlfriend!"

"Wow-you do your wife know that? Poor Bianti, who was widowed at a young age......"

"Get out!!"

In the face of the demons dancing in the audience, the young man did not react, just smiled quietly, but for some reason, Engel felt a little hairy when he looked at the smile on the corner of his mouth.

A beer was placed in front of him, and the bar owner smiled helplessly: "Do you guys turn off the dots?" People and children are going to be embarrassed by you. ”

"Hahaha, how can a child's face be so thin now?"

"That's it, you can have a good night - tsk, it's the envy of the big brothers!"

"A cool and hot girlfriend or something, I really want to have one......"

"Poor Bianti, when she heard your words, she must have chopped you up first, and then widowed in prison......"

"Why do you keep saying that my mother-in-law is widowed!?"

In the face of the impropriety of the audience, Engel's forehead began to sweat, and he subconsciously touched his arm and glanced at the people around him.

"Kid, you don't come to watch the game these days, I thought you just came by chance." The boss said very enthusiastically, "Take your girlfriend tomorrow night, come with us to watch the game, there are more people and lively, just after watching the game next door is the hotel!" ”

The boss's kindness caused a wolf howl, and everyone began to slap the table wolf howl, looking obscene as if they wanted to see a beautiful woman, Juan couldn't help but smile: "I also want to come and watch the game with you, but no." ”

"Huh? Your family has such a strict upbringing, no wonder you haven't seen it all the time...... You...... Come to ......" The boss's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and finally he was directly stunned, and the atmosphere of the audience was quiet for a moment.

Juan set aside his baseball cap and ran his fingertips over his scalp to tuck the long hair back in front of him, glancing nonchalantly at the bar.

"I heard someone just said I can't do it?" He asked with a smirk, raising his eyebrows and looking at him with a hint of teasing, but no one dared to look at him at this time.

Just now they said a lot of things that shouldn't be said here, which is usually okay within their own fan organizations, but now they have stabbed the team coach all of a sudden, it's a little embarrassing......

As soon as he saw that the atmosphere of the audience was cold, Juan sighed helplessly, from Madrid to Manchester, and then to A Coruña, places like bars may not have anything to do with him! Every time he opened his mouth, the audience was silent, was his cold field ability so strong?

If you think about it carefully, for so many years, the only time he had the opportunity to have more fun in the bar was in Portugal during the European Cup, Guti took him crazy with him, and sure enough, it was a great thing to have Guti in a nightclub!

Seeing that everyone didn't seem to have any idea of talking, Juan sighed in his heart, silently got up and put the money on the bar and prepared to leave: "Although I can't watch the game with everyone, at least I will cheer on the spot." ”

"No, no, even if I invite you." The boss finally reacted, shoved the money back into his hand, grabbed his hand and didn't let go, "Juan, your table in the first few games is really good, at the beginning we were all worried, what will happen to Deportivo in the new season, and now you have saved it!" ”

Juan was stunned: "Well, I didn't do anything special...... And like you said, I'm still young, I don't have much experience, so if you want to talk about it, winning can be a matter of luck......"

As soon as they heard him say this, most of the faces of the audience were feverish, this is indeed what they just said, and it was in front of the little boss?

God, it's just a shame......

"Even if it's luck, hopefully our luck will be the same in the next game." The boss looked at him very sincerely, "Super Laco hasn't fallen yet, but it's already broken, I beg you to take it with you and drive smoothly, not to reach the peak of last season, at least to give us a little hope for next season." ”

Juan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It's only in the third round of this season and you're starting to think about next season?" ”

"Yes," the boss nodded, "this season we estimate that Deportivo La Coruna will be eighth or ninth...... I don't want you to return to your original position in one season, but at least don't take us to relegation, okay? ”

Juan said that this was very helpless: "If you say that, the bigwigs will be angry......"

Someone at the scene chuckled, and the atmosphere finally began to warm up, indeed, Deportivo is now not much better than other teams, there are a lot of big names, and these big names are Deportivo now.

After chatting for a while, Juan looked at the current point in time, and almost got up to leave, and when he left, almost everyone was toasting each other, and Juan went back one by one before leaving.

Now Deportivo is hard for even its own fans to believe, so it's time to work hard and regain everyone's confidence.

On the way back, Juan called Casillas, he did talk to the Spanish goalkeeper every day these days, and every time he sounded very excited, Juan felt a little awkward, and at the same time he was inexplicably comfortable.

…… Is he sick?

While secretly worried, Coach Laco whispered to the person on the phone and slowly chatted, from today's training to his friend's cousin, from Deportivo La Coruna to Madrid, and then to Barcelona.

"Speaking of Barcelona!" Casillas became excited on the phone, "Ahhh ”

"What's wrong with Guti?" Juan is very accustomed to this, he doesn't know his friends, they are all twenty-seven or eighteen, they still look like children, and their personalities are similar! He still has a violent temper, and when he has nothing to do, he provokes others - the most important thing is that he can't beat people, and if it weren't for Raul and them to stop him and help wipe his ass in the back, this kid doesn't know how many times he would have been taken away.

However, the low force value did not make Guti keep a low profile, but he went farther and farther on the road of the map cannon...... In the end, it will become a humanoid artillery battle.

"Do you know, Guti was interviewed today, he said that he supported you to win, all kinds of praise for you, the media reporters were stunned, after all, I have never seen Guti praise any team other than Real Madrid like this......" Cassie thought of the scene at that time and felt a little intoxicated, "AC Milan used to be so interested in him, he just politely thanked him, and then turned around to praise Real Madrid!" ”

Indeed, judging from the momentum of the Gu Artillery War, all the media reporters present at the time must have been stunned, who has ever seen Guti praise another team like this?!

"Not because of me?" Juan naturally knows the reason, his good friend's brain circuit is very direct, to put it bluntly, it is a tendon, and he has never had any heart, he can say whatever he wants, a very upright young man, from the beginning of the season, Guti has actually expressed his support for Deportivo La Coruna, but when he played against Barcelona, this support directly formed a small outburst.

"You let him take it easy, don't let the chairman think that he finally has feelings for other teams, hang his cards every minute." Juan kindly reminded, "And ...... I guess he's happy at the moment, but when we compete with Real Madrid, he's scolding faster than anyone else. ”

Casillas, who is now a Real Madrid player, thought for a while and felt speechless.

"And he's not praising me for the sake of harming Barcelona, you and Raul look at him a little, don't let him be used as a gun." Juan lamented why he had to take care of a "giant baby" several years older than him, and at the same time carefully advised, "Finally, if he has started to scold the media now, you must hold him down...... Let's just say that Brother Dong is watching him here. ”

"Okay, I got it!" Casillas reacted very simply, then hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I looked at the schedule, we still have a few rounds to meet." ”

"yes," Juan lamented, "I honestly don't really want to run into you." ”

“…… You had a good shot last time at Manchester United. When he thought of the scene, Casillas felt speechless.

This person is simply excessive, aiming at the goal during the game, shooting, simply not taking the past as a feeling!

"Why don't you say when you're playing in the national team?" Juan was speechless, "Our Ricardo was almost scrapped by Raul. ”

"......" Casillas stopped talking, apparently thinking of the toothache again.

"But I won't be able to play right now, anyway," Juan said calmly, "just sit on the edge of the court, and then I'll see your watch." ”

"Of course!" Casillas replied ambitiously, "That'...... Does he play? ”

Casillas obviously thought of something again, and Juan smiled directly: "Yes, you make Guti's table a little better in these rounds, maybe your coach will let him play." ”

"Good, good!" Casillas is very excited now, Juan actually revealed to him the future personnel arrangement! Although he only said one person, wouldn't rounding up be a full confession to him?

You know, it's dangerous to reveal your list before a game, especially before a game, maybe the opponent will study their own tactics or something, so if someone bombs them on the spot, it will be funny.

"I'm home, what are you doing now?" Juan looked down and began rummaging through the keys to the house.

"Me, I'm lying on the sofa and watching a TV series right now, and I feel like the current TV series is so easy to make people cry!" Casillas began to grumble.

Juan couldn't help but smile: "You were originally a crybaby. ”

"Phew!" The person on the phone said indignantly, "This TV series is really touching, okay, the heroine died generously for the male protagonist in the end!" ”

"Okay...... Juan's two perfunctory responses, taking out two sips of yogurt from the refrigerator, "Who's your opponent in the next game?" ”

"Granada, there's nothing to worry about, as long as there are no problems in the front, there will be no problems in the back." Casillas replied with confidence, of course, he also has enough strength to believe in himself, and now his technical level is getting higher and higher! Whoever wants to have a love-hate duel with him, as long as it is not at the level of a top striker, he will make a pounce!

"Speaking of the previous ......" Juan suddenly remembered Redondo's question before, the face that had appeared when he had asked that question.

The little coach Laco narrowed his eyes unhappily: "You seem to have a pretty good relationship with your teammates, huh?" ”

"Huh?" Casillas was not stupid, he immediately understood the inner meaning - Juan had played this trick before, but not against him, but against other people, and all the reason why he had not played this trick against him was that he was in the same league with Juan at the time......

However, Casillas, who had quietly observed many times, naturally knew what the standard answer was, and he said naturally and sincerely: "It's okay, but I still like you the most." ”

Juan chuckled on the phone, not at all looking angry: "Well, me too." ”

（⊙ｏ⊙）…… This is different from the standard answer!

Casillas is not unaware of Juan's low EQ, since he has come up with a standard answer, he originally thought that Juan would also reply him with a standard "you know", but it turned out to be "me too"?

…… The person on the other side is really Juan, why did he suddenly open up, so he was very afraid to feed.

When he hung up the phone, Casillas still felt a little unreal, he slapped his face violently, and found that the temperature of his cheeks had risen so much that he was even more red when he ran to the bathroom to wash his face.

"Do you want to ...... like this," he muttered, burying his face in the pool of cold water.

During his last training session the next day, Redondo noticed that Juan was at ease.

Although it seemed that his face was no different from usual, anyone who spoke to him had a feeling of spring breeze, especially Redondo, who originally just wanted to ask Juan about his arrangements for tonight, but Juan gave him a very refreshing smile.

"I've prepared tonight's arrangements, and I'll talk to you slowly when I break at noon."

"......" Redondo suddenly felt very tired, shouldn't he tell this kid about what he had and didn't, but just let them fend for themselves.

The training in the morning ended quickly, because of the game in the evening, today's training is still based on passing and receiving the ball, and finally exercising his foot feeling, and at noon, Juan gathered everyone together, and said very strictly: "Everyone, pay attention, we are going to Camp Nou in the afternoon, those who have been to Camp Nou before, please raise your hand!" …… Forget it, it's better for those who haven't been there to raise their hands. ”

A few people raised their hands sporadically, the Greek duo, the Brazilian little fresh meat, and the two from the Brazilian league had never been there, and the others, including David Silva, had already been to the Camp Nou - although only on the bench, but they had already experienced the atmosphere at the Camp Nou.

However, there are still the vast majority of people here who have already experienced the Camp Nou, especially the few who have already come out of the Camp Nou, and they have completed half of the season to the cheers of the Camp Nou.

"Since most of the people have already been there, we won't talk much about the atmosphere." Juan gestured slightly, "Our Riazor Stadium can accommodate 34,611 spectators, and the Camp Nou can accommodate more than 93,000 spectators, and everyone knows the difference......

The threefold difference in numbers is not only numerically oppressive, but also psychologically overwhelming, and the number of people can be called terrifying, and the boos at Camp Nou are also absolutely stressful.

The Bernabeu, the Camp Nou, the mecca of players, the nightmare stadium of the rest of La Liga.

Of course, this is not to say how good they can shout, nor how powerful their swear words are, but that the pressure of the crowd is condescending, and that kind of pressure is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Some people are already uncomfortable being stared at by a pair of eyes, but now they have to feel the eyes of more than 90,000 people from all sides of the stadium......

That taste, tsk.

Juan also knew that there was no need to increase the psychological pressure on his team members in these matters, so at noon, he directly announced the list of eighteen people he wanted to bring.

"Diego López, Lukes, Andrade, Ibanez, Juan Sorin, Capdevilla, Jorge Valente, Nuno Maniche, Juan Bellero, David Silva, Fernando Redondo, Juan Riquelme, Pablo Aymar, Fernando Redondo, Portillo, Quaresma, Romario...... Lionel Messi. ”

After registering the list, the people in front of him were both excited and disappointed, Juan paused and looked up at them.

"These guys are going with me and the players bus tonight."

Juan didn't have a moment when he hated La Liga's game system so much, so why could he only bring eighteen people per game? If he could bring everyone, he still has a little confidence in his heart!

…… Although he has taken everything he can with him, he still hopes to lead the newcomers to feel how big the outside world is!

Redondo naturally saw his regrets, and after the others dispersed, the man deliberately stayed behind and patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, it's a good thing not to take them there." ”

"But if they don't look at the sky outside, they never know how big the world is." Juan frowned, "They'll think A Coruña's little stadium is all there is to it." ”

"They have eyes, they have television, and they can see what they need to see." Redondo was helpless, his hands were a little itchy, and he wanted to give the little melon baby in front of him a brain collapse. "You haven't even cultivated a basic sense of belonging to the club, so take them out to wave now, and you're not afraid that they will be gone."

For teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, which have cultivated a very good sense of belonging to the club, no matter where the youth players have gone or what position they have played, they will want to go back to their parent club whenever they have the opportunity, and this is the sense of belonging of the team.

And it didn't ...... Generally speaking, it refers to a team that has not cultivated a good sense of belonging, and people are on loan or sold, and they can't come back as soon as they go out, so how much blood should they vomit?

Juan naturally knew the twists and turns, so he nodded: "You have a lot of sense, so shouldn't I start cultivating it now?" ”

"You don't have to worry about us who are older, just toss those little ones." Redondo immediately saw his disciple's thoughts, and he was a little helpless.

They are veterans and veterans, their worldview has long been formed, what loyalty is there?

Especially for him and Romario who are on the verge of retirement, as long as they can find a place to play comfortably, it doesn't matter where they are, so Romario can play in the Brazilian Liga for seven or eight years.

…… Saying that Romario would be willing to return to La Liga, he was really surprised.

After all, the fighting intensity of La Liga and the Brazilian Liga are still two different things, the ability level of the players is also two different things, and the intensive schedule is even more different.

Thinking of this, Redondo asked bluntly: "Juan, how did you trick Romario into La Liga?" ”

Juan was stunned for a moment, laughed and waved his hand: "How embarrassing it is to lie...... And a lone wolf is such a smart man, how could I have deceived him? ”

"That's?" Redondo raised his eyebrows with some suspicion, he also had a certain understanding of his disciple's language arts, this kid would definitely not be able to say anything good!

"It's a trick." Juan's face was full of sincerity.

“……”

"Okay, I really just tried to invite it." Juan waved his hand, in fact, the old-timer was willing to come, and he was also very surprised: "I told him that we lack a town treasure in A Coruña, and we need someone with enough experience to help us move forward......"

As he spoke, he found that the Argentine in front of him did not have a very good expression, so he hurriedly added: "I know that you are also very good at leading forwards, isn't Raul the best example?" But you can also see that Deportivo still needs to bring too many newcomers, Romario in the front, and you bring a little bit in the middle and back......"

Speaking of this, Juan was still a little embarrassed: "My only failure in the whole transfer window is that I didn't find a goalkeeper to take us, but fortunately, after this round of games, maybe we can have a more professional goalkeeper coach." ”

Goalkeeper coaches have strong professional requirements, and generally need industry insiders to serve, and it is best to have experience in the industry, what does this mean?

This means that it is better to teach these things to someone who has been a goalkeeper, and they can teach not only some theoretical things, but also some consciousness.

Deportivo goalkeeper coach originally had the idea of retiring at the beginning of the season, Juan came to visit, asked him to take another month or two, and if he found the right person, he would let him retire, and he nodded and agreed.

"Since you can find a goalkeeper coach, let's get a new defensive coach." Thinking of the current Deportivo defensive coach, Redondo felt a little speechless, of course, this is not to say that the teaching is not good, but ......

As soon as I saw a few players, I started to play non-stop, and I didn't dare to use my true strength when practicing, is it really necessary for such a coach?

Juan smiled: "You can give people a chance, they are a little older than you...... We'll talk about that when we get back, how about that? ”
