81. Today's second shift
Chapter 81
Dean, who is known as the tactical encyclopedia, doesn't know what to say now, counting that he has really been in the commentary room for a long time, what kind of tactics haven't been seen? So for others who now call it "Tactics Encyclopedia", he is still very complacent.
But Deportivo really dealt him a heavy blow...... It can be said that in all the time since he has been in contact with football, there has never been a team that has given him such a strong sense of frustration.
The tactics that he had never seen before in the first round really refreshed him, saying that it was an offensive system, how could there be an offensive system without a front? And there was no hint of attack in sight across the line, it was the first time he had seen such a slow and leisurely tactic, and the goal didn't even have any of the excitement that football should have.
But it's a defensive system...... Were those goals faked?
In the second round, the defender was pushed forward! This game too! Is that still a defender?!
Looking at the Brazilian puffy head below who was excitedly carrying his little teammates to celebrate, Dean is now on the verge of a very calm collapse: "We can see that Deportivo No. 23 David Luiz quickly plugged in from the sideline, giving Las Palmas an unexpected 'surprise', Deportivo La Coruna has a two-goal lead at home, and the person who sent this key goal is David Silva, even if the language barrier, the two Davids have a great cooperation on the pitch, which is really gratifying." ”
"Don't be so discouraged, Dean, this season has just begun, and we have only only commented on the second Laco game, so we will definitely be able to adapt quickly." Frank was keenly aware of his partner's fault, so he quickly began to comfort him, "Let's turn our eyes to the pitch and feel like I'm always seeing Deportivo celebrations now, how often do they huddle like this?" ”
Frank is obviously out of words, but Dean is also a face-saving person and takes over the conversation: "Deportivo is playing very steadily, do you find it?" Although each game has its own weight, this game may be more biased towards the development of young players, who should be Laco's first players on average, so it is okay to get along with each other better. ”
When serving in the middle circle again, the players of Las Palmas seemed to have touched the routine of Deportivo here, so the people who came out this time were very cautious, and when Laco celebrated the goal just now, their head coach shouted out all of them and said something, and Juan also looked at the group of people over there in surprise.
The players are actually blind when they play, and because the educated Cheng dù is not very high, and they don't like to use their brains, they basically play what the coach says on the court, and the players who can read the rhythm of the game, or think on the court, will eventually become masters.
Obviously, Las Palmas does not have a master-level figure, and if he continues, he will be slowly beaten by Laco, they must be unwilling, but will the effect of on-site adjustment be good?
Juan didn't know what was said there, and it was too late for him to adjust quickly, after all, those young people on the field did not have the ability to adjust themselves quickly, in order to prevent any accidents, he sighed, got up and stood near the sideline.
The players of Las Palmas were ambushed by a key point in the midfield, and I don't know what the opposing players thought, a total of two or three people infiltrated into it, and that cautious look made those Laco backfielders look a little distressed, and in the end, Juan Sorin really couldn't see them so pitiful, and went up to kick to help the players of Las Palmas to liberate.
After breaking the ball, Thorin thought he would be under the radar of the three men, but what left him stunned - the three quickly retreated as relieved and returned to their own half!
What kind of routine is this?
Although he didn't know what the other party was trying to do, Solin also knew what he had to do now, so he directly picked up his speed and distributed the ball to the front.
David Luiz was very satisfied after having a goal, he watched the ball pass slowly to the front and was a little impatient, especially the midfielders, after getting the ball, he had to look up, what was he looking at?
Why don't you hurry up and get the ball out?!
David Silva has been a tough match, and he knows it's going to be his biggest test. When he joined Laco, he knew that he was here to be a substitute, but even so, he was willing - Juan Bellero's substitute, and he was surrounded by well-known seniors, and he was trembling with excitement during the first training!
And now, it's time for him to test himself and study! He has to show that he can't embarrass the big guys!
The Spanish youngster, who had just made up his mind, observed who would be better to pass the ball to and rush forward, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person desperately waving his arm at him, he was stunned, and looked at it unkempt, and the speechless person thought for less than a second before deciding to ignore him, and gave the ball to Quaresma with a resentful look.
Quaresma was still in his own half when he received the ball, and as a striker, he seemed to have become accustomed to staying near midfield to push the attack? Although Juan's tactics seem to be soft and not lethal at all, only those of them who have faced and tried it know that this is the most volatile and dangerous formation.
As he crossed the halfway line with the ball, almost the entire Las Palmas team was waiting for him with bated breath. Facing Las Palmas, who finally came up with the momentum of the bus, Quaresma did not choose to break through, although it was okay with his ability, but the new habits he had developed in the past month made him subconsciously look up and look around.
Just like that, he found that there were actually two people in blue and white jerseys waving at him for the ball in his sight, one was David Luiz who was jumping desperately in his own half, and the other was Messi who raised his arms in the opponent's half.
Messi held up his fleshy little arm, which looked a little difficult, but Quaresma could see the seriousness and resoluteness in his eyes even from such a distance, and he didn't know why, which made his obsession with this game seem extra big - you know, no matter when Messi used to ask for the ball, he would never reach out for the ball.
Quaresma took a look, Messi's position was indeed better, so he passed the ball very simply, but only the exclamations of the audience were heard between the flashes of lightning, and the Portuguese youngster was dumbfounded when he took a closer look: The person who shot the goal was Postiga? What's the situation?
Obviously, the opposing goalkeeper Eduardo almost didn't react, and finally caught the football with his calf and let it bounce out, and the ball didn't go out of the sideline! Postiga quickly stepped forward and shot in one fell swoop!
“Goooal! Postiga!! Frank cheered, "It's a great goal, who's to say Laco is just going to go slowly?" This lightning goal is a direct refutation and answer! From David Silva to Quaresma to Rio Messi, and finally to Postiga's feet, the opposing players didn't react at all! ”
It's no wonder that other players didn't react, starting from David Silva, Laco has been quietly shifting his attack center, although they all have put on a look of going to the middle and others to make a hard bar, but when the ball passed to Quaresma, Laco has quietly shifted his center of gravity to the right, and then passed the ball to Messi, Messi almost didn't stop the ball, and directly transferred the ball in motion to Postiga, who stayed near the small penalty area at some point.
Concise and efficient, and perfectly avoided the opponent's defensive disaster, almost brushing the sideline and offside line to score this goal, a very risky approach, but it is precisely because Las Palmas defenders are assembled in their own half that they have a chance to take advantage of.
Postiga was a stinky fart in his celebrations, first running to the sideline with his hands outstretched, then striking a machine-gun stance in the direction of the fans, and because he was so far away, that when he stood up after a lap, a teammate pounced on him from behind and jumped on his back.
Postiga had an arm around his neck and almost didn't go away, he barely looked at it, how the chubby little hand held high looked familiar, the Portuguese teenager was a little speechless, but he also gritted his teeth and ran for a small half, when Messi got off his back, the person carrying him looked at him strangely.
Unlike Quaresma, Postiga couldn't even speak a word of Spanish, he held it for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, turned his head and ran, the Argentine teenager didn't say anything at this time, and frequently looked at Laco's bench when he ran to his position, and Juan could only nod in desperation, and the teenager focused on the game with a smile, which made the entire bench unable to help but be silent for a few seconds.
"What an obsession this is......" Romario was a little amazed at this time, this kid really only looked at food!
"If he likes to eat, let him eat it." Juan said indulgently, "I should have the cookie he likes in my snack bag, just give it to him...... By the way, would you like to come with me at the press conference after that? ”
Romario smiled: "Okay, those reporters are probably holding back for a long time, the Argentine gang is all stuffy gourds, and it's useless to bring them." ”
To put it mildly, the Argentine players are indeed almost like that, half a sentence has to hold back for a day, and there has been a big wonder of Maradona in a hundred years, with their Argentine painting style is very wild and uninhibited, including even Redondo, who has always seemed to be subtle......
may also be because the seniors are too high-profile, so the younger players in Argentina are very low-key and humble people, especially Aimar, Riquelme and Messi, two generations of players are like this.
The game ended with three goals from Laco, Diego López had few shots and chances today, and Las Palmas had no chance of being able to make any threats, and the second half was completely recoiled, which made him even more useless, and he could only stay behind.
When the final whistle blew and Deportivo finished their first home game of the season, Juan took a deep breath and turned his head: "Are you ready?" ”
Romario gave him a big smile back: "Let me go and change my clothes, will you?" ”
The reporters were already anxious at the post-match press conference, and although they were only waiting for a while, they always felt that they were missing a lot here! Those colleagues who were guarding the exit channel would have already interviewed the exclusive news, I'm so worried!
But soon, they were no longer afraid that they wouldn't be able to grab the first-hand news!
Not long after the coach of Las Palmas left, Juan took Romario and sat down, and the scene was full of people, no quieter than when he was on the court.
"Romario, it's clear in today's game that you were substituted just 20 minutes into the game, is this an insult to the opponent? Or is it an insult to you? After all, you had just scored a goal at that time! ”
"Romario, we found out that you are substituted when the team is already sure of victory, does that have an impact on your position in the scorers' charts?"
"Romario, what is your goal for this season?"
"Romario, is there anything you would like to say to your teammates?"
Although Juan's expression on his face was not obvious, when Romario turned his head to look over, he clearly saw the little devil's tail flicking behind him.
This kid specially called him out to be a shield?
Romario's eyes narrowed for a while, and at this time, Juan returned him a polite smile and motioned for him to invite first, and everyone on the scene began to move.
"I was substituted after 20 minutes on the field because I felt that I had won the game, and it was normal for the young people to come up and kick." Romario said slowly, "Don't you think you're asking too much for a thirty-eight-year-old veteran to mention the scorer list?" ”
"Your thirty-eight years old is not the same as other people's thirty-eight years old." Finally, a reporter at the scene couldn't help but say, "You are the oldest active player in La Liga, and you are also the oldest player on the scorer list." ”
"So?" Romario raised his eyebrows, "It's impossible for my body to keep up with the high-intensity rhythm of La Liga, is it wrong to leave the game after making contributions on the field?" ”
"No, no ......"
The people who originally wanted to insinuate Juan by using Romario now wilted like frosted eggplants, and they couldn't get hard anymore.
Since they couldn't follow Romario's path, they tried to start from the other side: "Dias, we know that now Deportivo has gone through three games, and in those three games you have used almost three different tactics, will this affect the stability of the team in the long run? ”
"I don't think so." Juan coughed lightly and said with a smile, "After all, everyone knows that A Coruña is a club that has set sail again, it is still a baby, and it is very stumbling and stumbling, and only by practicing and trying more methods can it get on the right track." ”
"But you seem to switch too often?"
"That's right," Juan began to sneer as he said this, "I think football is the sport that is most like war, and even in my opinion, this is war in peacetime - for example, the national derby in Spain, the problems of the government and the Catalan region have risen, all the qiē needs to be reacted on the spot, and it is a very team sport, our opponents are ever-changing, if I can't do it now, I can only try to deal with the rest of the teams with all kinds of changes." ”
"In other words, you think football is war?"
"Isn't it?" Juan's expression was calm, as if he didn't know what he said enough to set off a monstrous wave, "Humans are also animals, evolved from beasts, as long as they are beasts, they will have the instinct to fight and hunt, and football is the expression of rationalizing confrontation and struggle with rules and restrictions - football brings us equality, unity, happiness, perseverance, heroism and fighting spirit, both indulgence and restraint, isn't this the charm of football?" ”
"And what do you think is the closest thing about football and war?"
"Conquer each other and conquer yourself." Juan replied succinctly, then coughed lightly, "Everyone's focus seems to have deviated a bit, since there is nothing to ask—"
"Wait, wait!!" "We still have something to ask!!" "We have!"
Romario also watched it with relish, and he hadn't felt the painting style of La Liga reporters for a long time, but he was not there for a while, why did these reporters start kneeling and licking the manager?
"If you don't want to listen, you can't ask questions." Juan waved his hand and directly refused to accept the stunned gaze of all the people who raised their hands, "It's my new idea to plug in the wings, I am very satisfied with Messi's expression, David Luiz has great potential, he is young but they are all malleable, everyone does not understand the language but they still have a tacit understanding, what else is the problem?" ”
"...... "Big brother, you answered too quickly."
The next day's newspapers were full of A Coruña's victory, but most of them focused on the final press conference.
Marca - "Football is war!" 》
"Juan Díaz likens football to war, with ambition and power between words, does he want to be the 'Napoleon' of football and conquer the whole of Europe? If that's the case, he might be disappointed, for now, he can't even conquer Spain! It's just that about his theory of football war, the author is still very much in favor of it, in peacetime, football is not much worse than diplomacy! ”
Ace – "Indulgence and restraint, Dias's philosophy of football"
"Juan Díaz has given us a whole new football concept and all his formations have been refreshing to everyone, every game is a surprise! Although he is young, he already has his own football philosophy, and his understanding of football is deeper than the average person. ”
"What kind of mental state do readers have at the age of 22? At that time, I was obsessed with my studies, my thesis, whether my girlfriend and my favorite team were winning again, and I never thought much about other things, but Juan Díaz, he had already thought deeply about the meaning of football, the meaning of the club...... Indulgent and restrained, heroic and rigid in rules, he can see farther than the average of us. ”
"He has the foresight and courage to be crowned, and now that the king of A Coruña is ready, it is up to them to be crowned!"
World Sports Newspaper - "Conquer each other and conquer yourself, the post-super Laco era!" 》
"After the disbandment of Super Laco, we thought that the miracle of Deportivo La Coruna was going to disappear from the world and never be seen again, but soon we knew that we were wrong, there was a wizard who landed in Deportivo La Coruna, laying a solid foundation for the re-emergence of Super Laco, it can be said that before conquering other teams, Deportivo La Coruna has achieved self-conquest, they are going farther and farther on the road to breaking through themselves, we don't know where they can go, but for now, A Coruña is already ahead of everyone! ”
