133. The first shift of the 19th century
Chapter 133
Casillas' growth in this half season has also been rapid, even to the point of panic.
In such a one-on-one penalty, Morientes was also defeated, and Casirios knew his way of shooting well, so it was not surprising that he would be saved.
However, when the round came down, no one was laughing, everyone kept their mouths closed, just looking at the people who had already been crawling around the court.
- Igor Casillas, clean sheet.
In Deportivo La Coruna's luxury lineup, there is actually no one who can break through his five-finger level.
Although this is only a penalty contest and Deportivo itself is not particularly capable of taking penalties, and Casillas is capable of this, it is enough to say something.
In any case, Deportivo did lose on penalties.
Casillas subconsciously looked at the edge of the court again, and Juan was still standing there very calmly, without the slightest intention of stepping forward and kicking.
To be honest, he hadn't faced Juan one-on-one for a long time, he knew that Juan was best at one-on-one, and after knowing Juan for so many years, he had always lost more and won less against Juan......
"Juan, he's watching you." Diego López couldn't help but turn his head and remind, he really couldn't help it, the first was that the eyes of the people on the field were too hot, and the second was because Juan was here with his head down and what Alan said......
He had a feeling that everyone was going to fight for their lives for the next few days.
"I know." Juan calmly glanced back at the court, "Diego, you're going to go." ”
"Huh?" Diego López was dumbfounded, "Just kidding, I'm going to shoot?" ”
Those shooters didn't succeed, how could he be a goalkeeper?!
"Who told you to shoot?" Juan glanced at him in surprise, "Go and guard the goal, change them to shoot you, and let Igor come over." ”
"Huh?" Diego López was struck by lightning, and for a moment he felt that his whole person was not good, so he could only look back without tears.
The shooters who were discussing on the pitch also seemed to hear Juan's words and looked over one after another, smiling maliciously.
"What are you doing in a daze, go quickly." Juan touched his arm, "Wait a minute, Alan will supervise you, how many balls you concede, just add a few times the saving training, it's reasonable, right?" ”
"Very, very reasonable......" Diego López was on the verge of crying.
Juan nodded and beckoned to Casillas, who was standing in front of the door, Casillas was still looking in his direction, stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously walked in Juan's direction.
At this moment, an out-of-the-sky flying ball went straight towards the goal!
Casillas subconsciously raised his hand, he didn't react to what was happening, but his hand had already subconsciously made a move, and when everyone didn't react, he directly stretched out his hand to catch the flying football!
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Casillas threw the ball back in the direction it was coming, and at the same time calmly took off his gloves and stretched out his hand to Diego López: "Come on, I'll leave it to you." ”
"Oh......" Diego swallowed, the two switched positions, Diego began to guard the goal, and Casillas stood next to Juan and looked at him: "I don't have any plans for the future, right?" ”
"There's nothing to do," Juan nodded calmly, then turned to look at Allen, "Have you decided on the team's training plan for today?" ”
"No problem." Alan nodded.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Juan raised an eyebrow directly at Casillas, "Let's go, go clean up, and come back later." ”
"Coming back?" Alan was immediately stunned, if he came again, he didn't know how his players would continue to train these days......
"yes, definitely going to come back." Juan nodded affirmatively, "Except for the kick-off in the center circle, we have to practice all set-pieces, and Igor is here to help, don't worry about these details." ”
Set-pieces include free kicks, goal kicks, corner kicks, penalties and kick-offs in the centre circle.
"And this is also an opportunity to contact the Real Madrid goalkeeper in advance, everyone has seized it, if we can find the weakness, we will be easy against Real Madrid in the future!"
"Anyway, I'm still around, can you do it behind my back?" Casillas reluctantly came up and pasted his head, and Juan grabbed his hand directly with a smile on his face, "Okay, come here." ”
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Morientes couldn't help it: "...... Who kicked that ball just now? ”
Everyone turned their heads, only to see an innocent-looking unkempt head standing behind, pretending not to know anything, but it was clear that the expression on the face of Thiago Silva, the honest man next to him, had betrayed him.
"You deliberately went to someone else?"
"No, I'm just shooting from a distance...... Pompons also thought it was incredible, after all, when he shot at the goal, Casillas had completely turned his face away, and he never thought that such an out-of-the-sky shot would be caught.
What's worse is that the man actually threw the football back and fell around him impartially......
What a terrifying plot development this is!
When going to the fitness zone, Juan also asked Casillas this question, and to be honest, when this man came on, he didn't notice the ball coming, and by the time he fully reacted, Casillas had already saved the ball and threw it back.
I have to say, it's quite handsome!
Juan did not hide his admiration at all, but Casillas was also sincere, he said directly: "Actually, I didn't react, it was just a knee-jerk reaction." ”
"I don't know what to say about you." Juan shook his head helplessly, "If you have such a reaction, you are already better than most people." ”
Casillas was silent for a moment and blinked: "Compared to Diego?" ”
“?” Before Juan could react, the person in front of him turned his head directly: "Didn't you let him cheer to surpass me?" ”
"You hear me." Juan nodded, "I said so, is there any problem?" ”
"But ......"
"Anyway, I've already said it, whether there can be a breakthrough is his business, I also said, you are Spain's door god barrier for the next ten years, with you, at least for ten years, Spain's first goalkeeper will be stable."
"Ahem," Casillas coughed lightly, trying to change the subject to keep the heat on his face down, "Speaking of which, you don't seem to have been to the Bernabeu on your own initiative." ”
"yes, I actually swore before...... There are only two possibilities for me to step foot in the Bernabeu. Juan smiled and held out his finger.
"First, I lead the team to play here, I am Real Madrid's opponent, my enemy, the object that Real Madrid has to beat."
"Second, I became the manager of Real Madrid and went back as the owner of the Bernabeu...... You know what I mean? ”
Casillas nodded wordlessly.
In fact, the confrontation between Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna came a little faster than expected.
In the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid played Deportivo La Coruna at home.
During the pre-match interview, Juan looked calm and calm.
"Deportivo La Coruna doesn't have an advantage at the moment, we play on three fronts like Real Madrid, so the outcome of this game is still unknown, and if necessary we will only fight for the Copa del Rey strateg???ically."
"But shouldn't it be a strategic abandonment of the Copa del Rey in general?" The reporter couldn't help but ask, Juan's bribery was too strange, and he didn't understand it well.
'Whether it's the Champions League or the league, we're going to have a tougher competition than we would in the Copa del Rey schedule, so Deportivo La Coruna will prioritise the Copa del Rey schedule.
As soon as Juan made such a public statement, most people didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or whether to have a more complicated mood, Deportivo La Coruna is officially out of the championship race?
But the one with the best momentum right now is Deportivo La Coruna?
"What do you think about this?" As the opponent of the next Champions League, Wenger was a little surprised when asked about this: "Dias wants to give up the Champions League? …… Honestly, it's impossible. ”
Arsene Wenger is, after all, an old fox, and knows a little about Juan and Ferguson, who are almost identical masters and apprentices.
――Although the styles of the two men are not quite the same.
But he knew that no matter how harmless Juan was disguised, he would not just give up on the current trending front.
Deportivo La Coruna played Arsenal 2:5, unless they are willing to be beaten 4:0 by Arsenal at their home stadium, otherwise there is no chance.
So he doesn't believe a word of Juan Díaz's nonsense.
"Juan Díaz has already achieved some results that have left us jaw-dropping, and even if he stops there, it would be a shame to sigh at the aftermath, but it's clear...... It's a bit early to say that. ”
Arsene Wenger's optimism about Juan surprised many people, and what was even more surprising was that not only him, but also another person was also very optimistic about Juan's appearance, that is, Ferguson of AC Milan in the next game.
The lord made his position straightforward: "It's completely normal for Juan to say that, after all, it's only his first time in charge of the league, and it's not a bad thing to lower his goals, and in any case, Deportivo La Coruna had a certain injury in the last game, and I think it's normal to give up." ”
The lord can see that the maintenance of his own disciples is personal, so as soon as many people heard the lord say this, they scolded speechlessly in their hearts.
This coach, even if he loves his disciple, can you not help him fight psychological warfare with him so openly?
Of course, the lord doesn't think there's anything wrong with this at all, who will hurt if he doesn't hurt his own family?
"To be honest, Deportivo La Coruna is also a devil's schedule...... "Arsenal, Espanyol, Real Sociedad and so on have taken turns against Real Madrid, and then at home to Sevilla...... Next up is the away game against Arsenal, Deportivo La Coruna said that he wants to give up something, in fact, I think it is still very possible. ”
However, for most teams in La Liga, facing Real Madrid is good news. In addition to the reasons for the level of competition, in general, the home ticket revenue and TV broadcast rate of the game with Real Madrid will increase by several percentage points, especially the TV broadcast dividends after that, which is a big head, and a lot of money rolls into Deportivo La Coruna's account!
It's good to have a back to a wealthy family!
However, for Juan personally, it really wasn't a wonderful thing.
He never expected that the draw for the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey would actually be drawn by Real Madrid, and he would have known that Subisareta would not be allowed to draw lots!
What a bad luck this is!
Deportivo La Coruna has a bit of a problem at this point, first of all, Pablo Aimar is injured, Juan Riquelme has just finished a two-week injury and Juan Bellerón has to rest for at least one game after a tired muscle.
In this way, Juan has little confidence that he can block those extremely terrifying attack groups of Real Madrid.
Although they are also infighting and the locker room is disordered, there are many stars inside, and any person who stands up has the ability to change the direction of the whole game, or even solve a qiē alone.
At the beginning, Juan was not afraid of Real Madrid at all, and could even go directly to wrestle with Real Madrid, but once there was a personnel rotation or injury or suspension, the horror of Real Madrid itself was directly displayed.
――Any one of them on the bench is a well-known name.
Even if you don't think about the bench, just look at Real Madrid's lineup.
Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul, Robert Carlos, David Beckham, Luis Figo......
All the managers will go crazy when they see it, and all the club presidents will be silent at first sight.
It's a dizzying team, a team that makes people cover their wallets painfully, and it also makes more people headaches.
During the last two training sessions before the game, Juan coughed lightly: "To be honest, I thought the biggest card that Liazor Stadium could usher in in the last ten days was Arsenal, thanks to the good luck of our goalkeeper coach." ”
In the face of Juan's ridicule, Subisareta helplessly raised her hands to show her innocence, and the audience burst into a very good-natured laugh, and David Luiz shouted without fear: "It's okay coach, it's good to sign!" ”
"How?" Juan looked at him with great interest, and Pompons touched his head and smiled: "We can play against strong teams, of course it's a good sign!" Even if I don't play, I can learn a lot! ”
"Yes, yes, it's the best game against a strong team."
"It's interesting to be evenly matched, what kind of ability is it to abuse vegetables?"
"We were looking forward to it before the draw, either Real Madrid or Barcelona, or Mr. Lucky!"
Deportivo La Coruna's players are gearing up, and Juan doesn't know where their confidence comes from, and the enthusiasm for the big team is getting stronger - and it may be the confidence that came from the last game, but all in all, it's not necessarily a bad thing for Deportivo La Coruna.
"It's just to have such momentum!" Juan waved his hand, "In order not to lose fighting spirit and confidence, now all of us are training!" ”
"Oh!!"
