Chapter 113: White Moonlight in front of him

In the current league club goal rankings, Deportivo La Coruna is first with 52 goals, and Real Madrid is second with 48 goals, four more than Real Madrid.

Now Portillo, Raul, and Diego Forlan are on the scoring charts, and the three of them are now about to attack the Golden Boot halfway.

(It wasn't as crazy as it was a decade later, and La Liga didn't score a horrible goal, with Diego Forlan winning La Liga and the European Golden Boot with 25 goals in the historic 04/05 season.)

Juan's words mobilized the feelings of the players.

There are only two things that matter on the football pitch - goals! Win the game!

After a short break, the Deportivo players came on full of spirits, and at the start of the second half, Juan observed the Real Madrid players from his position for a while and found that they were more or less tired on their faces, which gave him more certainty.

"Deportivo La Coruna insisted on counter-attacking in the first half, but Real Madrid were experienced with this and sniped Laco well. Although there was not a single goal in the first half, it was very good to watch, it was quite exciting in terms of the process, and in the second half Real Madrid should attack more often, and if they can take advantage of their chances better, they should have won in the second half......"

As he spoke, Frank turned his head to look at Dean, only to find his little friend staring at the screen with a calm expression.

"Dean?"

"Huh? Oh...... I don't think so. Dean sighed, "Do you really think so?" ”

"Don't you think?" Frank looked at him in surprise, although he was a serious Juan's brainless fan, but to be honest, in this game, Deportivo looked like Xiàn really worried him.

"Look at it, A Coruña won't be taken so lightly."

Just as the two of them were expressing their opinions based on the situation in the first half, the second half had already started quietly, and Deportivo La Coruna, who kicked off, attacked from the first minute of the second half.

Riquelme received the ball from Bellerón and passed it to Aimar, who then passed it back, and Gago, who received the ball, handed it to Redondo.

Redondo received the football, casually raised his eyes to look ahead, raised his foot before the Real Madrid players pressed up and passed it to Portillo who received in front, and then cut forward himself, Portillo passed the ball back to Belleron, who stopped the ball and got rid of Salgado's top tackle, and then distributed the ball to Redondo.

Redondo raised his foot to cross the ball into the box on the run, and Portillo, who was sprinting all the way, jumped high to meet the ball and then beat Samuel with a header!

Samuel struggled to interfere with Portillo and, although he couldn't stop his header, at least his attack was a little off, past Casillas's outstretched hands, slammed into the perimeter of the near post and bounced off the line!

"Oh!! Deportivo La Coruna had a very dangerous attack from the start, but alas!! ”

Alan jumped up almost with his head in his hands, then waved his arms violently, chattering and turning his head back, he jumped for a moment and then turned his head to look at Juan, only to find that he was still quietly looking at the watch on the court, as if he didn't care at all.

"Juan, aren't you sorry?"

Juan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What's the pity?" The second half had just started and we had chances. ”

Although he also felt that Deportivo Lacoruna's attack this time was a pity, but it was also a surprise to Real Madrid, and although it was a pity, he looked at Allen's appearance and didn't know why he felt a little relaxed.

'Obviously, Real Madrid set up a second-half counter-attack at half-time and if Deportivo continue to defend like they did in the first half, they can score as long as they can still take some chances.'

Garcia Murray looked at the situation on the field and then made a gesture of calmness.

Don't worry, keep attacking like you did in the first half and prevent Deportivo from a quick counterattack, the victory must belong to Real Madrid!

Real Madrid's players began to push their attacking defence as they did in the first half, but this time Deportivo did not recover so badly and began to press frantically in midfield.

This very different approach from the first half made the Real Madrid players not react at first, as soon as Graveson received a pass from Beckham, Gago's powerful charge came from the side, and although Graveson immediately dodged it, he was quickly stabbed down by Redondo, who had been waiting on the other side!

The poked ball rolled to the feet of Belleron, who took the ball and spun around, then sent a diagonal pass that flew straight to the right, where Aimar quickly stepped forward and lifted his foot to the middle before Robert Carlos could return to the defense.

Gago, who received the ball, spared no effort to overpower Real Madrid's half and rushed in the direction of the ball!

Real Madrid's replay speed was obviously slower than in the first half, although Salgado and Samuel sandwiched Gago left and right to make him unable to speed up, but Gago himself was strong and strong, under his unreasonable impact, Salgado and Samuel felt that their center of gravity was unstable every time, and the wolf stumbled several times, only to find that he couldn't stop him at all.

In the confrontation, Robert Carlos can still stop him, he is not left behind by Gago, but the height limit still makes him a little constrained.

He was intercepted by Gago in the back, and he didn't dare to foul - how to foul? The referee didn't know what to think, and kept following them, his eyes glued to the situation on the field, obviously eyeing him.

Hey, there's no need, right? Carlos smiled bitterly in his heart, didn't he just kick people off the field in the last game? I've already been suspended for one game, so what?

But now it was obvious that he didn't have time to speak, and stepped forward several steps with his two small short legs, barely catching up with Gago's long legs, and couldn't even go around Gago, so he could only keep interfering behind him, hoping to block Gago's attack with Casillas, who was attacking.

Gago didn't rush to shoot, he continued to move forward with the ball, Carlos was constantly interfering behind him, and Casillas had already abandoned the goal, intending to pinch Gago with Robert Carlos one after the other, at least so that he didn't have much room to shoot!

However, just as Casillas was about to rush in front of Gago, he saw Gago raise his right foot, and then, with the interference of Robert Carlos, he got up and passed the ball to the other side of his body, and the person who cut in at high speed on that side was-

Javier Portillo!

In a pure sprint contest, the Real Madrid defenders simply couldn't catch up with Gago's speed, Gago's man was far behind, but obviously there was an unkind atmosphere around, Portillo was keenly aware of this, he didn't force a shot, but after attracting the attention of these two people, he sent this extremely beautiful assist!

Portillo, who was inserted at high speed, didn't even have time to adjust the pace of his shot, and after the football rolled in his direction, he raised his foot to the side of the ball, and the ball turned close to the ground and flew towards the goal, Casillas, who had fully attacked and was infinitely close to Gago, had no room to defend himself, and as soon as he turned around, the ball was already close to the goal line.

Salgado, who struggled to defend himself, was also a step slower, and although he touched the football, he could only let it hit the net again.

“Goooooooooal！！ A quick counterattack from A Coruña! They suddenly burst into pressing in the midfield and caught Real Madrid off guard! The speed of the counter-attack was simply too fast, and the strength and delicacy of Deportivo were on full display in this counter-attack, Roberto Carlos and Casillas had done their best, but they couldn't stop Gago's beautiful pass, Portillo just had to meet the empty net and aim for it, it was not too easy......

The stadium at the Bernabeu was silent for a while before sporadic boos began to sound, and the middle class still had some reserve and did not make loud noises during the game, which also shrouded the Bernabeu home atmosphere in a somewhat terrifying depression.

This has to be said to be another psychological tactic on Cheng Dù, and it is more likely to make people feel frightened than the usual noisy court.

"Did you suddenly step up the pressing in midfield...... Garcia Murray frowned, but after thinking for a moment, he continued to wave his hand and let the players attack the way they had done before.

They are Real Madrid, and they will never lose to anyone else in attack!

However, after two minutes, he noticed that something was not quite right, and it was clear that after taking the lead, Deportivo did not continue to shrink the defense as in the first half, but put more attention in the midfield, that is, Deportivo played more aggressively than in the first half, although this approach made him feel a little strange, but anyway, Real Madrid now have more chances!

As long as Deportivo didn't hold the box, their two strikers would be able to get more chances!

"Juan Dias, since you launched a challenge, Real Madrid will not fail to deal with it, see who has the better attacking ability!"

Playing against the attack, Real Madrid has not been afraid of anyone!

With García Murray making a gesture to press the attack, the Real Madrid players understood the next tactic - that is, to use the attack to show the Deportivo players that Real Madrid's attack is not something they can provoke!

"Pressed the offense?" Alan stretched his neck a little nervously to look at the situation on Real Madrid's side, and that sneaky look made Juan a little helpless, but he still nodded: "Yes." ”

Real Madrid's strengthening of the attack is something they like to see, although Deportivo Lacoruna's current offensive ability on the field does not look so strong, but in such a tug-of-war back and forth, Real Madrid's weaknesses will be more and more exposed!

Real Madrid lack a person who can lead the overall situation, which is not to say that Raul is bad, in fact Raul is a good captain, but the problem is in the staffing of Real Madrid itself.

It can be said that the current Real Madrid has gathered all the freaks, geniuses, and leaders who can gather in the five major leagues, and they are not convinced by anyone, although they all seem to be normal, but which genius is not born unruly?

Juan has heard a lot from Casillas how chaotic Real Madrid's dressing room is right now, and he can even piece together a possibility from just a few words.

-- Real Madrid now, there is no commander-in-chief in the full sense of the word, the frequent change of coaching seats makes the head coach of Real Madrid lack prestige, the entire locker room occupies the mountain as the king, usually peaceful, when there is nothing to do, stab the next hill, like a nest of stragglers.

…… Ah, but there are times when the stab is against the scales, for example, last time Raul directly beat Ronaldo, for the sake of Morientes.

In short, Raul can still call twice as the captain at ordinary times, but once everyone's temper comes up, it is a situation where no one can stop it.

For example, now, whether it is defense or offense, Real Madrid seems to lack a discipline, and it is completely relying on the personal ability of the superstar to promote the game, so in the back and forth tug-of-war attack, Real Madrid's weaknesses will become more and more unconcealable and exposed.

"In total, our average age here is relatively old, but in the first half, their consumption is relatively large, so we still have the advantage here."

Juan slowly and methodically analyzed Alan one by one, the more Alan listened to the breathing, the more rapid his breathing became, he looked at Juan's eyes shining, Juan squinted his eyes at the situation on the court, and said: "From the moment of the lead, the balance of victory has been tilted in our favor...... As long as Real Madrid continue to attack, the further the game goes, the better our hopes of victory! ”

Juan was right that in the second half, the Bernabeu had a goal feast.

In the back and forth tug-of-war attack, Juan replaced Aimar with Diego Fran, which strengthened Deportivo Lacoruna's offensive power, Juan has been very careful with the use of the Joker, he knows that this person is capable enough, but the way of playing is too easy to get injured, and it has not been changed at all for so many years, every time Juan treats him like a fragile object.

Deportivo quickly extended their lead when Portillo crossed from the right, Diego Forlan received the ball at the top of the box and turned past Samuel before Salgado stepped up to make it 2-0.

However, Real Madrid is Real Madrid after all, and Deportivo did not give up after leading by two goals, and they seized a lot of opportunities - in the 60th minute of the game, Raul received a long pass from Beckham outside the box, and in the face of Juan Sorrin's block, he forced a turn and shot with his feet, and the ball crossed an arc and flew into the corner of the goal past Diego López's hands.

The goal boosted the morale of Real Madrid, and Raul kissed his ring as he ran around the sideline, his brown half-long hair fluttering in the wind with a hint of uninhibited chic.

Juan looked at him from afar, while silently watching the number seven, and the entire Deportivo bench.

The white-clad swordsman, the iron-blooded captain, the representative of Real Madrid, the pinnacle of the galaxy's appearance - Juan knows so many people, has seen so many peerless figures, in all fairness, Raul is the most painting-like person among the strikers he knows, he plays the violin with his left foot in the penalty area, and when he sees Raul, he thinks of Real Madrid.

"Raul......" Alan sighed and shook his head, then looked at Juan, "Is there anything we can do?" ”

Juan didn't speak, he narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

The goal boosted the morale of Real Madrid, but also made them forget about their fatigue for a while, and in the following time, they launched a world-class attack, and four minutes later, a mistake by Capdevilla in the box allowed Michael Owen to easily receive Zidane's high ball and slam a lion's head into the goal!

"2-to-2 !!" Frank jumped up excitedly, "In five minutes, Real Madrid scored two goals in a row, this is going to be a big reversal of the rhythm!" ”

"No, it won't." Dean sighed, he could still come and pour cold water on his partner while he was dancing. "Look at Real Madrid...... They don't have that strength anymore. ”

A few guys up front were fine, but Real Madrid's entire backline was starting to feel tired.

Extremely tired!

They are all well-established people, and they naturally know what their situation is now, the pace of this game is too fast, and the consumption is much greater than that of an ordinary league, and the emotions that were stimulated by the goal before began to gradually lower down.

They can't run.

When Deportivo La Coruna pressed Real Madrid into their own half with an attack, García Murray was slow to discover that although there was no change in tactics on the field, Deportivo had suppressed them in the attack.

It's not because Deportivo suddenly burst out of seeds or anything, but because Real Madrid's players are gradually unable to support themselves physically.

But when Garcia Murray turned his head to make a substitution, his eyes turned around the bench, and then he could only smile wryly.

There are a lot of people on the bench who are very good, but right now Real Madrid don't need strikers, they need defenders.

But now the players on the bench ......

Except for Guti, who can make a cameo at the back, there is no one else.

Although there are substitutes in the backline, the strength is far inferior to the four main forces on the field, and it is also tyrannized by Deportivo La Coruna, and at this time, replacing the substitute defenders, whether it is cooperation or organizing defense, cannot be compared with the main lineup.

Now it has been suppressed, and if there is such a stubble again, any mistake may cause particularly strict consequences, so he can only endure it!

As long as they can endure until the end of the game and keep a draw, Real Madrid's face will not be lost - although one point is not as good as three points, but being able to maintain a five-point gap is already quite a good consequence at this time.

The young man......

"A Coruña the Terrible, Juan Díaz the Terrible." Frank lamented that he is only now reacting to the situation, Juan has been building momentum for the last 20 minutes from the beginning of the game, and all the tactical arrangements and adjustments he has made are to give Real Madrid a good time at this time.

If Deportivo takes the lead halfway through, if Deportivo builds enough confidence and advantage in this kind of attack, then there will be no problem at all with the remaining twenty minutes of advantage!

"Amazing on-the-spot command ability." Dean exclaimed, although he had discovered Juan's intentions earlier, but if he put himself in his shoes, could he have come up with such a tactic?

To be honest, when he first realized what Juan was going to do, his whole body was shaken.

"An impressive sense of the big picture and a sense of detail that Deportivo coach Juan Díaz can achieve at the age of 22...... It's top-notch. ”

"I have a hunch that the name of this young coach must be on the list of legendary coaches in the future."

At the time of the two commentators, Deportivo LaCoruna's attacks on the field still did not stop, and they set off round after round of attacks with great calmness, which was as unstoppable as the tide.

Originally, this could only be regarded as a relatively difficult task for Real Madrid, but it was not impossible to resist, but now, Real Madrid's defenders are weak, their legs are as heavy as lead, and the muscles all over the body are lamenting discomfort, and they can only watch Deportivo slowly push off their defense layer by layer!

Salgado finally couldn't hold it anymore, he ran hard back and forth in this game, and he couldn't bear to play against players like Gago, Redondo and Belleron.

In an aerial battle with Riquelme, he fought hard to push the ball off the line, only to lie down on the turf in the next second in pain, and he had cramps.

Knowing that Salgado could no longer support it, García Murray had no choice but to replace Guti, but at this time, Juan used up his second substitution.

He brought on Quaresma for Capdevilla.

“…… Once again, A Coruña challenged my perception. Dean coughed lightly and raised an eyebrow, "This is ...... 3-4-4 formation? ”

"A Coruña is amazing! They have created a new formation again! ”

Looking at the team that was putting on an offensive appearance with great fanfare, Garcia Murray couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He knows that Real Madrid is more than lucky.

And his hunch quickly came true after half a minute, and Deportivo LaCoruna's substitution achieved excellent results!
