Chapter 121

Originally, everyone thought that during the winter break of the 04-05 season, everyone would be quieter, after all, during the summer transfer period, basically the heroes who should have actions are all kinds of big moves, and basically everyone will choose to recuperate during the winter break.

Just when the football world thought that the biggest move was that after Real Madrid listed Morientes, a deep-water torpedo smashed down.

- A Coruña, quote Morientes!

And not against Real Madrid, but against Monaco!

What's even more surprising is that Monaco actually agreed to such a ridiculous proposal, and Morientes, who had just transferred for two days, was pushed to the negotiating table again!

"It's not in order," the editor-in-chief of Marca newspaper almost jumped, angrily saying in his column: "What the hell is A Coruña trying to do?!" Could it be that if they change a young coach, they will forget the rules?! ”

Now after FIFA and UEFA's revised player transfer plan, the main content is: the new transfer plan requires players to have a minimum contract of one year and a maximum of five years, players under the age of 28 who have signed a multi-year contract must serve at least three years in the contracted club before they can transfer, and players over 28 who have signed a multi-year contract must serve at least two years in the signed club before they can transfer.

"Although this rule has been criticized so far, and even conflicted with the transfer ruling of the Belgian player Boseman in '95, at least for now, we can see that such a mechanism is still necessary...... In order to prevent the emergence of such a shameless club as Deportivo La Coruna!! ”

"Morientes is exactly 28 years old this year, which can be said to be a very ambiguous age, and even more ambiguous...... He has already served in Monaco, and although it has only been a year, it has already left Deportivo in a loophole. ”

"From what we have been told inside, Deportivo La Coruna's intention is to rent and buy because there is already a record of one year at Monaco, so Morientes can already be loaned ......"

"A Coruña, it's so vile and shameless and cunning!!"

Compared with the jumping feet of "Marca", the "World Sports" next door is very gloating.

"Real Madrid they once again abandoned one of their twin stars, I have to say, I personally feel that this matter is inseparable from Deportivo coach Juan Dias, I heard that in the playing days, Dias and Morientes had a good relationship, it can be said that if it is not an accident, maybe they can still play together for a long time...... But now it's also a creation to make people, and Dias also has the ability to help his friends cry out for grievances. ”

"It can be said that Dias and Deportivo are like saying to Real Madrid - 'The people you don't cherish will one day stand up again and go back one by one!' I suspect the Deportivo manager thinks the same way! ”

"According to the observation of our local Catalan journalists, Dias and Real Madrid can be said to be in love with each other, and more importantly, the proportion of former Barcelona gangs in the Deportivo team is not low, but Juan Díaz's hostility towards Barcelona is not so heavy!!"

The newspapers of the two families are now arguing, and looking at the words in the newspapers one by one, the four people who are still on vacation are helpless.

"Seriously, you're scaring me." Morientes felt a little chilled at the thought of that scene.

Juan came up with a "you can't come", so that he and Raul didn't know what to do, but fortunately, Juan quickly explained: "Of course, it doesn't mean that you have to move your place of origin all at once, no matter what, you still have a contract with Monaco for a while, no matter what your next decision is, Deportivo La Coruna will put forward our conditions." ”

They have seen a lot of things about transfer contracts over the years, so Raul and Moren quickly reacted and looked at each other.

"Do you want to rent before you buy?"

"Yes." Juan nodded, "Deportivo La Coruna paid in a lump sum, first on loan, and after a season, when the time is up, Morun's contract will automatically turn over." ”

"......" Morientes couldn't find any more adjectives.

The person in front of him always looks very calm, but in fact?

This man has done more crazy things than all of them combined, and compared to him, Guti's delays in training and part-time modeling have become trivial.

Tens of millions of things, in his opinion, seem to be just a small thing that can be achieved with a nod from his good friend.

After a long silence, Morientes looked at Raul beside him with some difficulty.

The Real Madrid captain looked at the people around him, then at the two people in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh.

"So now, it's just two Laco and two Real Madrid people going out together? Let's just hold a sorority party between the two of us in the future. ”

Morientes is not stupid, he immediately understood what Raul meant, Casillas looked directly at Raul with a look of horror, and Juan just looked at him, those eyes were full of seriousness, everyone seemed to be waiting for him to speak, how could he not let everyone down, right?

Therefore, under the gaze of his three friends, he nodded generously: "That's what I said." ”

"Phew......" Casillas breathed a sigh of relief, he was even more nervous than Juan during the whole process.

However, after the Morientes matter was decided, Juan seemed to have completely fallen into vacation mode, not at all anxious about the appearance of his own team, and the players were muttering.

They often see their coaches not even having time off, and even if they do, they won't be running around during the winter break.

"Ahh On this day, they were basking on the beach, and Juan suddenly got up and startled the three people around him: "What's wrong?" ”

"Guti posted on Facebook." He looked down at his phone and couldn't help but smile: "Not bad." ”

"What?" The three of them gathered around curiously, after all, although Guti usually posts news, but it is also about the team, on Facebook, the Bernabeu Golden Wolves are completely the same: he is a Real Madrid brainless fan.

In contrast, Juan's Facebook has only sent two messages since its opening, one is to ridicule each other with Guti, and the other is an advertisement about Adidas.

'When I got married, there were people gathered outside my wedding site to see Raul; When I opened Facebook, there were people gathered in my comment section to see Juan...... I'm going to be sad too. ’

After such a sentence, Guti also did not change Facebook for a while, but soon he came back like nothing and still did his Real Madrid brainless fan, Juan and Raul didn't know what to say about it.

Juan also specially called to apologize to Guti, but Guti's reaction to this was not so big, but he was very puzzled: "What do you have to apologize for?" It has nothing to do with you, it's just that those people happen to be calling your and Raul's names, nothing. ”

To be honest, the more Guti said this, the more Juan felt guilty, so although he didn't post much on Facebook, he often went up to see if Guti had any new news, and if someone wanted to cause trouble under Guti again, he could send a message to support him at any time.

However, artillery battles are artillery battles after all, and no matter how big things are, he can be beaten in minutes, so Juan has no use for it every time.

But today, Guti posted a photo, which is very ordinary, and even has a feeling of overexposure - of course, anyone who shoots at the sun will be overexposed.

However, in the light and shadow of the sun, there seemed to be a shadow, slender and long, and the four of them squinted their eyes and studied it for a while, and finally Morientes asked uncertainly, "...... Hawk? ”

"I guess so." Juan nodded, "He said 'I finally saw ......' is probably an eagle." ”

Raul and Casillas looked at each other.

Casillas usually rarely provokes Guti in the club, Guti's temperament he can't bear, but Raul is different, he grew up with fried hairy children, so he knows a lot about Guti, this bear child may be talking about something.

"He's showing off, isn't he?" Casillas wasn't sure, "though he tried his best to make a literary look......"

"What kind of literature and art will someone who graduated from high school twice have?" Raul complained and looked at Juan's phone, "Why don't we show it off too?" ”

"What do we have to show off?" Morientes blinked, a little dazed.

So a few minutes later, Facebook blew up.

Or rather, Juan Díaz's Facebook blew up directly.

Raul doesn't have Facebook, he doesn't want to get any of these things, and neither does Morientes, two people who, since '97, have been somewhat repulsive to any media environment where they can expose themselves to the public, especially in a place like Facebook where they can speak their minds at any time and be watched by everyone.

He's not as brave as Guti and can say he's unhappy and doesn't like it, he's the captain of Real Madrid, Spain's only hope for years, and he has to be perfect enough.

His ears do not hear, his eyes do not see, and his mouth does not speak.

He is the perfect prince.

He doesn't get it, neither does Morientes, and neither does Casillas.

Juan accompanied Guti to mess around.

Therefore, four people are directly squeezed into a photo, three of them are grinning at the camera, and Juan is the only one who raises his eyebrows and looks at the camera, with a smile on his face.

'When I said I wanted to take a picture'

Obviously, such a Facebook directly blew up the entire football world by surprise.

Before, the newspaper was still saying that Deportivo La Coruna had made an offer for Morientes, and now they are already together on a wave?!

Dare I ask you guys if you're too casual?!

Although the age is still about the same, but after all, one is a coach and the other is a player, how bad would it be if there were any bad rumors?!

…… Well, Morientes can understand, anyway, it's not a rumor, it's a definite thing, but can those two Real Madrid pay attention?

It's impossible for Real Madrid to sell both of you, but be careful!

And the four of them went out to hang out together, what about Guti?!

After the photo was sent, Guti was quick to respond.

He called directly.

"You four are going to play together, don't call me ?!!"

"Did you call us when you went to see the eagles?" Raul naturally raised his eyebrows on the phone and complained, and the Bernabeu Golden Wolf suddenly couldn't say a word.

"Okay...... Where are you, I'm going to play with you? ”

"Just go to Laco and wait for us." Juan said very casually, "Bring the big guy here, Moreau wants to find a house to live in Laco, and he may have to take care of the big guy more." ”

"...... are you talking about?"

"Okay, don't pretend to be stupid, remember to go back to Laco directly with the big guy, you dare to run away!"

Juan directly pinched off the phone: "Okay, now we are separated from here, Moren and Raul are going to move things, and Igor and I are going to find a house." ”

“…… Is your Laco house empty? Morientes didn't know why he suddenly felt a little cheating.

"It's not much, so you need to find it." Juan said very casually, saying that it was not very difficult to find it, after all, even if it was a rented house, "You can live in my house for the time being." ”

Morientes smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm afraid Igor will beat me." ”

“？” Juan was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Casillas, who was discussing with Raul where to meet and how much time it might take to pack things, and it was true that they were better at this, so Juan and Morientes went with them.

"Why did he hit you......"

"Because of you." Morientes didn't plan to save Juan's emotional intelligence, and waved his hand directly, "Anyway, you remember one thing, don't bring people to your house casually in the future, and don't just sleep in the same bed with others, don't ask me why, just think it's for Igor." ”

"Okay." Juan nodded directly in understanding.

"Also, that Mendes is also your agent, right?" Morientes raised an eyebrow, "He's good. ”

"Your father told you?" Juan couldn't help but smile, "He's very good." ”

"Yes......" Morientes nodded and asked with some hesitation, "Speaking of which, what was the first game after the winter break?" ”

In fact, he is still a little afraid of facing Real Madrid in the first game - although he said that he only faced Real Madrid before the winter break, there should be no possibility of facing Real Madrid in a short period of time.

"The first game was against Valencia." Juan replied easily, "Then the Copa del Rey against Magara, the first week was two games, and it was quite easy. ”

"Indeed." Morientes nodded, although he has not played for half a season, but in terms of games, he still has a direct perception, compared to Real Madrid, Deportivo has a lot less commercial games, and generally it is quite good.

'There's still the Champions League, so I don't know where Laco can go, but at least for now, we're on a good footing.

Morientes nodded lightly at Juan's statement.

He had to admit that it was already very powerful for Juan to have such an appearance at his age.

This winter break was really chaotic, but fortunately, in just one month, Juan still got Morientes to his side, and finally didn't need Raul to fly over every week to see people, and most importantly, Laco finally had the attack power to be on the stage.

Of course, he didn't mean that his own strikers were not good, but they didn't have the style of a general, especially when it came to the game, and the whole of Deportivo didn't have a dedicated attacker on the field.

- Romario has experience, but the problem is that he is already old, and Deportivo has a lot of children, so it may be a little early to learn from him.

Morientes is suitable to learn from Romario's experience, after all, as a striker, Romario can be said to be an evergreen in football, he learns a little more is good for his future, and both of them are making a difference in the penalty area, even if Morientes's age can no longer allow him to inherit the mantle of Romario, but at least his ability can be greatly improved.

And there are many things that he can teach Deportivo to his children, he has a keen sense of smell in the penalty area, excellent shooting skills, can shoot with both feet, and the breakthrough is dominated by speed and explosiveness, combined with sudden changes of direction, once a one-on-one situation is formed, his breakthrough rate is always extremely high.

Juan has also suffered from this man in the past one-on-one, and it can be said that most defenders do not want to touch a striker like Morientes, and at the same time, this is the striker that Deportivo La Coruna needs the most.

Deportivo strikers need someone to teach them what it means to be a striker, and it is clear that Morientes is the most suitable.

The winter break passed quickly, and now the whole of La Liga is watching Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna lively.

In other words, what they want to see most is that Real Madrid and Deportivo will face each other again, and the new and old hatreds will be more distinct at this time!

Unfortunately, in the league, Deportivo La Coruna faced Barcelona earlier.

- Of course, the game against Barcelona is also worth looking forward to! Deportivo was very proud of the last time he played against Barcelona!!

Of course, there are eight league games, two Champions League rounds and the Copa del Rey before facing Barcelona.

When it comes to the Copa del Rey, Deportivo La Coruna, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are also going hand in hand, and it can be said that no one will admit defeat, but the three families know that this is not their main battlefield-

League, Champions League.

The Final Battle.

And to be honest, it's not really Real Madrid and Barcelona who are behind both teams at the same time.

A Coruña, Valencia.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the seventeenth round of the league that started during the winter break is a match between these two teams.

"Hello everyone! After a winter break, La Liga is back in flames! The Stadio Riazor is back in the air after a month of silence and Deportivo La Coruna are hosting their opponents – Valencia! ”

Frank took a sip of water and sighed loudly: "Oops, there has been no game commentary for a month, it's really lonely." ”

"Yes, for us fans, the year is actually divided into two parts – the season, and the other time." Dean nodded in agreement, "But Deportivo has also made the winter break very talkative, and we can see that both Deportivo and Real Madrid have changed a bit during this winter break, although it is not big, but it is ...... That's right, I always felt that this was another fateful showdown. ”

"For now, Deportivo La Coruna has made a double kill, Real Madrid and Barcelona have become dead souls, and then Valencia is next, if Laco succeeds, then he has completed five kills in the top six of the league."

At present, the top six leagues in La Liga are Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid.

"Valencia are very strong, and it can be said that they have a better record than Barcelona and Real Madrid in a certain way – although this is only for now, and no one knows what will happen until the end of the game."

"yes, that's right, let's go and see what the pre-match press conference looks like."

In the pre-match press conference, it was clear that Juan's Deportivo La Coruna was a little more interesting than Ranieri's Valencia.

Of course, pay attention!

16 league games, 12 Copa del Rey games, 4 Champions League group games, a total of 32 games, Deportivo La Coruna is undefeated.

32 games undefeated!

Before you know it, it seems that Juan has launched a challenge to Arsene Wenger!

When he heard the media mention this, Juan was stunned for a moment: "We? ”

"yes, you Deportivo La Coruna are unbeaten in 32 games, don't you have anything to say?" The reporter in front of him asked this, which seemed to be kind and praised, but the meaning was self-evident.

It's going to put pressure on Juan.

Juan thought for a moment and nodded seriously: "I haven't realized it yet, but it's thanks to everyone in the team that I have such a table." ”

"Your management and leadership are also indispensable." The reporter continued to tout, "What is your management experience in the team?" ”

"Management experience?" Juan thought for a while, and said very sternly: "If you have to say it, it is that the mourning soldiers will win." ”

“？？？”

"Every time a new guy comes to the team, I tell them, 'You may not be able to play, you have to be ready to retire at any time, you may not be able to do this in the next second......"

Hearing Juan say this, most of the people at the scene fell silent.

Juan said such words with arguably the most powerful words.

He can be said to be the most deeply touched by the fact that he can retire at any time.

'I always tell my players that it's a blessing to keep playing and running on the pitch, and they have to make sure that they are a threat every day and that they are training hard every day and doing their best to keep them in shape.

"One day, when I feel that my players have secretly cultivated almost, give him a chance, he will be very happy, he will cherish it, and he will do his best to seize this hard-won opportunity."

"This is the management model of A Coruña?" The reporter was a little dumbfounded, Deportivo is training future demon stars while teaching to be human?

"Pretty much." Juan nodded, "Some players need to be supported as a matter of course, but if they are in charge, no one will refuse, they just need a platform, but the premise is that they must know what they are doing no matter what, and how to use this platform to show themselves." ”

For the sake of understanding, he directly compared: "It's like saying that another bunch of people are going to arrest a person and sue him every day, and in two days he will be shot, and all he thinks about every day is that as long as he can survive, he knows that he is told to say, oh, from today you are the president...... But if these people gather and sue them, tomorrow they may all be presidents, then they will not be far from rebellion. ”

"Uh...... What does that mean? ”

"Are you a journalist?" Juan asked rhetorically, and amid the ridicule of the big guy, the reporter was silent, and someone on the other side raised his hand.

"Is this talking about Messi, Silva and Luiz?"

Juan thought for a while and shook his head: "Not only them, but many people in A Coruña are like this, but they lack a platform to show themselves, and their own abilities are enough." ”

"And ...... Basinas and Zagorakis?"

'Zagorakis is a very professional player, but unfortunately Deportivo doesn't have the right style for him, so he chose to leave for another team, which is completely understandable. As for Basiñas...... "Juan took a deep breath.

"How much ability to make a lot of money, people must have self-knowledge."

To be honest, he doesn't care what happens to Basiñas, but this person has to say in front of the media that Deportivo La Coruna is bad before leaving, and that is not his.

Juan was out on vacation with Morientes and the others, and he didn't care about it at all, and it wasn't worth mentioning to him anyway, but when Basinas pointed the finger at Deportivo La Coruna, saying that he was kicked away because he couldn't give him a raise, Juan couldn't help it.

Is this a Deportivo thing?

Hearing Juan say this, there was an immediate commotion, and he immediately stopped a qiē: "I refuse to answer all the questions about Basinas, next." ”

"Can we talk about Morientes without mentioning Birconas? For his sake, Deportivo now seems to have torn up with Real Madrid. ”

"First of all, I have to state that Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid are not tearing their face......s," Juan paused and continued, "because there is nothing to maintain between our two clubs. ”

Oooh oh?!!!

The league has just restarted, and it's so exciting?!

"Of course, it's not just Real Madrid, Barcelona is the same for us, obviously, this kind of attention is very unnecessary now," Juan tilted his head, "Let's just tell you this, now they give me the feeling that Barcelona Real Madrid is like a couple who have been together for more than 100 years, tired of watching each other's every move, and we are distant neighbors, isn't there a saying called 'distance produces beauty'?" ”

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, and one reporter couldn't help but ask: "So you think this is the reason why Barcelona and Real Madrid are targeting you so much at the moment?" ”

"No, no, I'm not saying they're targeting me." Juan waved his hand, "It's just that I really hope that this couple won't be attracted to new people all at once, and it's better for both of them to be together all the time and love and kill each other, that's the way husbands and wives should get along." ”

“……”

For some reason, Juan's words sounded so strange that the reporters on the scene, especially those in Madrid and the Catalonia region, had on their faces as if they were having a plate of in front of them, and they were going to eat it later.

"Okay, nothing to ask, right?" In a strange gaze, Juan began to read Deportivo La Coruna's starting list.

"Diego López; Pablo Ibanez, Jorge Valente, Nuno Maniche, Juan Sorín; Juan Bellerón, Fernando Gago, David Silva; Javier Portillo, Ricardo Quaresma......"

There was only one last spot, and Juan opened his mouth.

"Fernando Morientes."

Morientes !!

"Sure enough!" Frank slapped his thigh, "Morientes is still on the field, and Juan is not afraid to buy it and not adapt to it!" ”

"How can it not be adapted, today Deportivo ruled out Morientes' most comfortable 4-3-3 formation, and if you look closely, there are not a few veterans, and the whole team can serve Morientes' attack," Dean sighed, "Juan Díaz...... It's very righteous, and I don't know whether to say that he is young and good, or whether to say that he is bold and reckless, for the sake of his good friends, he can do this. ”

"You think he's for Morientes, too?" Frank was excited, "It's rare for us to be on the same level once!" ”

...... "I don't know why, Dean couldn't laugh." Let's take a look at what's going on here in Valencia. Compared with the situation where Deportivo La Coruna is only half of the main force here, Valencia is full of main players, and it can be seen that Ranieri attaches great importance to this game. ”

"It's not necessarily very important, but he wants Valencia to cheer everyone up a little bit with this game? The winter break is just over, and maybe the players haven't found their form yet. ”

"That's right...... Frank looking at the starting line-up," Valencia starting line-up – Canizares; Ayala, Curro Torres, Marchena, Canela; Albelda, Baraja, Vicente; Mista, Di Vaio, Corradi, today they opted for a lineup like 4-2-3-1. ”

"Canizares didn't have a good performance at the European Championships, but in the league, with his high and low blocks, Valencia has only conceded 16 goals this season, which is already a remarkable achievement, and the only person in La Liga who has conceded fewer goals than him is called Diego López, the young goalkeeper of Deportivo La Coruna...... The record is, six goals. ”

The two sides are really incomparable, Dean coughed lightly and changed the topic: "But I thought I could see Aimar on the court in this game, after all, according to Juan's character who has a face and will fight and revenge, Aimar is going to make a shot no matter what." ”

"It's not that it's impossible, Aimar is sitting on the bench right now, Juan is probably afraid of hurting him."

While the two commentators outside were guessing one sentence and one sentence later, Juan had already returned to the locker room to do the final pre-game mobilization.

Deportivo La Coruna's players looked at Juan with some trepidation, and from the day he came back to the training camp, Juan's attitude was as kind as a spring breeze, which made the players who had been in Deportivo for half a season unable to accept such a change for a while......

But after seeing Morientes, most of them knew it in their hearts.

This father, even if he tricks a super striker, don't you be so excited, okay?

"I'd love to say that the real test is about to begin, but when you think about it, it seems like the first half of the season is basically a double or three games a week, and there are very few midweek breaks, so the next games are not a test, are they?"

Juan's words sent a low laugh in the locker room.

Indeed, since the beginning of this season, Deportivo has either scheduled the league in midweek, or the Copa del Rey and Champions League games, and rarely has a break, but in the first half of the season, Deportivo La Coruna has basically sent substitutes and young players in the Copa del Rey Cup, so the main players are not particularly tired.

"But to be honest, it's a little different. If the midweek game in the first half of the season was a game for us to train our young players, then from now on, we are going to get real......" Juan coughed lightly, and his players seemed to be extra excited when it came to getting real?

"So in the next games, unless there are injuries, rotations and suspensions, I won't make too big changes in the backline, and I won't change a set of defenses from time to time like in the first half of the season, and half a season is enough to show some strength. But don't let the substitute defenders think that you can relax, and still be ready to play to your strength. ”

"There's still a long way to go in the second half of the season, of course we can't just rely on one squad to play all the games, in midfield I'm going to rotate the right ones and everyone has to keep their shape, I don't want to hear the phrase 'not ready' when I put someone on the game, what I need is that when you are brought on, you can still play perfectly according to the tactics I have arranged, understand? That's what you're going to do in the game! ”

"Got it!!"

The players responded with a wave of answers, knowing that this was the most important stage of the season, and that the winter break was just after the time when most teams were still composed.

In the first half of the season, Juan would give some opportunities to play in some games that were not particularly important, but now that time has come, the results come first, and the rookie training can be done next season.

It is clear to everyone that this is Juan's first season in charge of Deportivo La Coruna, and his first task is naturally the league, with the Champions League and the Copa del Rey not being the most important.

The league champion is.

Although Deportivo La Coruna have already won the league title, that doesn't mean they don't want a second, a third or more.

Now that Deportivo La Coruna is seven points ahead in the league, it is the time to seize the opportunity to stabilize the advantage, and at this time, there is absolutely no room for slackness!

To rest, wait until the end of the season to have more time to rest, those two months were unpleasant, it all depends on their table now!

"Okay, if you understand, go out now and win the game!"

"Oh!!!"

When Juan got the starting lineup list for Valencia, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Claudio Ranieri is not a coach for a big club, especially a club like Valencia.

Last season, under the leadership of Benitez, Valencia won the league title, but this season, Valencia was really bumpy and was pulled out by Deportivo La Coruna by as many as seven points, which can be said to be the first and second with the biggest gap in La Liga so far.

Valencia was able to second, thanks to Real Madrid and Barcelona from time to time with convulsions and slippery feet.

The reason Juan is so sure is that the squad sent by Ranieri looks very good, but in his eyes it is full of flaws.

If Valencia's flanks want to strengthen their attack, Albelda and Baraja are not particularly good at assisting, and if they focus on defense, Valencia's midfield is like a piece of paper compared to Deportivo La Coruna.

Valencia's three strikers are all technical and dexterous, with overlapping characteristics and a lack of variety, so the attack will look messy, scoring one goal after another when playing well, and if you don't play well, you will directly lack effective attack in the face of the opponent's defense.

At the start of the game, Deportivo La Coruna unexpectedly played a defensive counter-attack tactic on their home turf, which surprised the commentators.

Originally, they thought that Juan would take Morientes to a hearty attack

As a result, Deportivo is now in the middle of the three midfield positions directly behind to protect the backline, although Valencia's three forwards are constantly looking for opportunities, but it is difficult to find any opportunities in front of the Deportivo Deportivo defense, which has an advantage in numbers, and Deportivo is constantly relying on counterattacks, relying on three strikers who are quite good in their individual ability to create opportunities.

Valencia opened the scoring for more than 10 minutes before being hit by Deportivo La Coruna.

Fernando Gago quickly cut off the ball in midfield and passed it to David Luiz, who received the ball and handed it to Bellerón, with the Laco captain going straight to Portillo in front.

Portillo received the ball and crossed from the corner of the box, but Quaresma caught the attention of Valencia's two defenders at the back post and again pressed the two to cross the ball to Morientes.

Morientes had been waiting for this moment for a long time, he caught the ball, changed direction at high speed in the box, shook off the defender who was marking him, and quickly volleyed the ball into the corner of the Valencia goal!!

“Goooooal！！！ Fernando Morientes!! He had already scored a goal in his first game with Deportivo La Coruna, as efficient as ever!! Didn't the three managers that Aragonés and Real Madrid change that season find out that they put a sharpshooter on the bench for a long, long time?! ”

Frank roared directly, he couldn't help but be excited, Morientes's goal was too fast and too passionate!!

In other words, it's good, it's very Spanish!

'Honestly, Deportivo has played so many games and it was one of the most exciting goals I've ever seen. Dean was also very excited, "In the forward line of Deportivo La Coruna, Portillo is a penalty shooter, he is the best at grabbing points; Quaresma and Postiga are both technical players who are the best at evasion; Diego Forlan is a great volleyer, but he rarely shows up during the game...... Morientes such a table xiàn. ”

Catching the ball, controlling the ball, shooting, flowing smoothly, with a chic and confident that ordinary people do not have, and almost instantly, the opponent's two defenders can't guard him at all. He didn't even have to carry it or try to get himself out of the line.

Even if he is killed, he can shoot with ease.

Fernando Morientes, Spain's top scorer.

Deportivo La Coruna leads 1-0.

Such a goal made many commentators sigh, Valencia's problems they can also see, the lack of change in the attack, the defense seems to be slow, such a staffing seems to be more suitable to play defensive counterattacks, but they attacked aggressively, but Deportivo continued to counterattack......

Ranieri didn't seem to have thought of this at all, and he sat back in the dugout in disappointment, only to jump out of the dugout twelve minutes later.

Porti forced his way through with the ball and then handed the ball to Quaresma, who was tripped by the returning Albelda, who was directly handed a yellow card and Deportivo La Coruna was awarded a direct free-kick twenty-six yards from goal.

The people standing at the penalty spot were Belleron and Morientes, and as soon as the whistle blew, Belleron pretended to shake, and Morientes followed up with the heavy bombardment!

"2 to 0 !!!" Frank was so excited that he was incoherent, "A Coruña is really ...... Unexpectedly, Morientes has a new lease of life in a new team, and I remember what Aragonés said, saying that Spain would not call up Morientes in the future...... He'll know it's a mistake! A failed decision!! ”

Ranieri really didn't expect that Valencia had already conceded two goals in the opening 22 minutes, he really couldn't sit still, and as soon as the second half opened he replaced Albelda, who already had a yellow card, with Fiore, and Vicente returned to midfield and switched to the usual 4-4-2 formation, but they still couldn't create any chances in front of Deportivo Deportivo's midfield defense.

"A winter break doesn't seem to have changed much, Deportivo have remained as solid as a dog in midfield......

Dean coughed lightly, and Frank immediately changed his mind: "I mean, Deportivo Deportivo is still as solid as a wall of sighs, and since the beginning of the new century, we have rarely seen such a solid defense in La Liga, which is really amazing......"

Ranieri, who jumped off the wall, brought on Angulo in the 70th minute for Di Vaio, a substitution that allowed Juan to relax directly.

Is Ranieri also a person who really can't change around?

The midfielders, who were already struggling to defend themselves, immediately collapsed, and Deportivo played more comfortably, scoring Deportivo their third goal in the 84th minute with a beautiful direct free-kick.

Deportivo La Coruna beat Valencia 3-0 at home.

No one expected that Deportivo La Coruna would win this game so smoothly and efficiently, which surprised many people.

And at the press conference, Juan was also very calm.

'Valencia are a very good team, they have a lot of good players, the difference between us is not so obvious......

- No, how do they feel that Juan has something to say?!

Next, Juan took a deep breath and said something that directly made all the reporters suddenly realize.

"It's just that in such a high-level game, if the tables and tactics of both sides are not at the same level, it is inevitable that there will be such a big gap, after all, Valencia has not succeeded in establishing a complete tactical system since the change of coach, this is the first game between Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia, but in the past as a player, I did not compare with Valencia, Valencia at that time did not have such chaos, although Valencia is familiar, However, it is only because of the weakness of the slightly inferior ability to defend against high balls...... It's just that now, on the whole, Valencia is far from Valencia, who won the league last season. ”

This person is simply boasting about himself in a different way!
