Chapter 146

"Welcome to the Stadio Riazor and watch the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final between Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid!!" Frank took a deep breath and continued, "Deportivo is also a surprise today, the schedule is here, although Real Madrid has no possibility in the Champions League, but this also allows them to at least put a lot of energy in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League!" ”

"yes, that should be a good thing." Dean nodded, "Since that night's party, Deportivo has been quiet, as if nothing had happened, but we know something must have happened, haven't we?" ”

Of course, Postiga was photographed leading the pioneer car away, and it was still drunk driving, and the speed of the car almost soared to 100 ...... There was a bruise on the corner of his mouth, something must have happened, the traffic police in A Coruña issued a ticket, fortunately he didn't hit anyone, otherwise he would have been detained directly. ”

"When everyone walked away, Quaresma was the last to go, and he was wearing a shirt that wasn't the same as when he walked in......"

The two men glanced at each other, and both seemed to see the fire of gossip burning in each other's eyes.

However, Dean was a little more sensible, and he coughed lightly: "We have to be sensible, the list of the game has not been reported yet." ”

"You're right, we need to be sensible...... Oh! Postiga is on Deportivo La Coruna's starting line-up today!! Could it be that our guesses are all wrong?! ”

Dean was startled and immediately took Deportivo La Coruna's starting list, and his professional qualities required him to immediately start reading out his name: "Deportivo LaCoruna's starting list...... Diego López; defenders Pablo Ibañez, Jorge Valente, Nuno Maniche, Thiago Silva; David Silva, Pablo Aimar, Juan Riquelme, Fernando Gago; Elder Postiga, Diego Fran. ”

After a sneak peek, Dean was silent.

"Deportivo is giving up the Copa del Rey?"

The players of the two teams were already on the field and were about to shake hands, Frank looked up at the situation on the field, and quickly pushed Dean: "What about Real Madrid's list!" ”

"Oh yes......" Dean was still studying Deportivo La Coruna's list, almost forgetting Real Madrid, he glanced down and said quickly: "Real Madrid's starting list - Casillas; Salgado, Samuel, Woodgate, Arbeloa; Gravison, Beckham, Guti; Ronaldo, Raul, Figo ......"

The two men were silent for a moment before sighing at the same time.

"Although there are most of the substitutes on both sides, the depth of the bench between Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid is still different......

"That's the point?" Dean glanced at his partner with a very unreasonable gaze, "Don't you think it's strange why Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid are on the first team?!! ”

Although it is true that the substitutions on both sides are not on the same level, this does not change the fact that both sides are basically on the bench.

"I know, so Deportivo and Real Madrid want to give up this game at the same time?" Frank blinked, "Or did Real Madrid just want to drain their stamina at the beginning?" ”

"I don't know......" Dean didn't dare to say a word now, for fear that he would say something wrong, after all, he had been slapped in the face by Juan this season too many times, and now as a commentator specializing in Deportivo La Coruna's game, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Juan was standing on the edge of the court at this time, looking a little cold with an expressionless face.

He was not a kind person himself, and his face made people feel even more frozen at this moment, and the two men were silent for a while and looked at each other.

…… Juan: What's wrong with this?

Juan didn't have anything, he was just watching the people on the court, especially his number 12.

Edel Postiga.

As soon as he saw him, Juan thought of the night three days before.

After he said that, the atmosphere fell directly into coldness.

This is an ironclad fact, everyone knows that Postiga is indeed the most cheating and slippery person when he usually behaves, but they didn't expect Juan to say it so directly in front of most people.

Postiga sneered: "So, so what? You're just a manager, what's the big name? ”

This sentence added a hint of unreasonable meaning out of thin air, and Juan laughed: "Are you playing a big name, or am I playing a big name?" Elder you think about it, I'm 13 days younger than you, and in this club of Deportivo La Coruna, I don't have the qualifications to play big names with you! ”

Juan is telling the truth, in A Coruñari it is really not Postiga's turn to talk about qualifications, and his most advantageous is at most a Juan's compatriot status, they have played side by side together in the national team before, that's all.

And seriously, learning from masters like Redondo, Romario and Juan Bellerón is a dream opportunity for many players, but every time it comes to training, he hides away and is always absent-minded.

Originally, Redondo and Romario hated people who disrespected football and their elders, so they didn't mince words about him, so Postiga couldn't learn anything, which was a huge vicious circle.

Postiga stopped talking, Juan sighed, and said softly: "Do you want a transfer?" ”

Most of the people were shocked when this sentence came out, and then all eyes turned directly to Postiga's direction, he took a deep breath and raised his head.

"Yes."

Juan knew that this matter was no exception, after all, the two of them had the same agent, and Postiga probably didn't know that even if he didn't make a fuss tonight, Juan would start him.

Because Jorge Mendes had called him before, asking him to give Postiga a little more playing time.

"Postiga is very dissatisfied with his life in Deportivo La Coruna right now and wants to transfer, so for the sake of your Deportivo profits, and for the sake of the profits of our two companies, you should let him play more!"

To be honest, Juan is not at all surprised that Postiga is dissatisfied with life in A Coruña.

He's a lazy guy himself, he doesn't like to be disciplined, and he doesn't like to pass the ball to the extreme on the pitch - although this habit has been broken back a little bit by Juan, but it doesn't have much use.

Because not passing the ball is just one of the inconspicuous shortcomings of Postiga's vast expanse.

Although he has many advantages, if he does not change the point of laziness, Postiga's future will not be successful.

Romario may be lazy, but he has a paranoid seriousness and obsessive-compulsive attitude towards the game and football, which is actually enough for Juan.

As long as you're dedicated on the pitch, you'll be fine off the pitch no matter what.

- However, Postiga did not even act at least worthy of his salary.

Juan was silent for a moment at Postiga's insistence and nodded: "I understand, I will try to arrange your playing time in the next time." ”

Postiga was stunned: "Even if you are like this, I want to turn ......"

"I'm not trying to keep you here." Juan interrupted him and said calmly: "I just hope you perform well in the coming time, from today I will be more strict with you in terms of training and diet, I hope you can cooperate, perform well, and then sell for a good price during the transfer period, so that at least it is a win-win situation for the club and you personally." ”

Postiga looked at him with wide eyes, looking incredulous, everyone around him also looked like they had seen a ghost, Juan raised an eyebrow and looked at everyone, and then at the table that was already messed up: "I don't think you're in the mood to eat either, so be it for today, I'm looking forward to the party after the season." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was slammed shut, Juan retracted his gaze and looked around: "What? ”

David Lewis swallowed and trembled, "It's Postiga...... He's gone. ”

"Oh," Juan nodded, "then let's all go back, have a day off tomorrow, and resume training the day after tomorrow." Ricardo, you stay for a while, take a shower and change your clothes before leaving. ”

"Oh......" Quaresma was a little confused, but he nodded anyway, and went to take a shower at Juan's instructions, Romario walked slowly behind, and the Brazilian looked at Juan, and then at Redondo, and sighed.

"Juan, Juan, I really believe the media now that your emotional intelligence is low......"

“？？” Juan blinked, a little dazed, "What did I do wrong again?" ”

"You didn't do anything wrong, but......" Romario sighed more, "Postiga is playing at you, don't you notice?" ”

“？？？？？”

Juan was directly at a loss, what is the situation?

What does it mean to be coquettish at him?

Was that a coquettish atmosphere just now?!

Redondo obviously saw it too, so he stayed behind, and now that he noticed Juan's expression, he really couldn't help it, and he also sighed.

"Juan, you should be a little softer in the future, don't speak so bluntly, it will hurt people."

He had said such hurtful things before, and he knew that he might not feel anything after saying them, but they would definitely cause deep damage to that person.

It's like a person holding his hot and beating heart in front of another person, and that person still dislikes the smell of blood too strong, throws it away at will, or even steps on it.

Fortunately, the person he knows is still waiting for him, and he can still pick up the heart that has been scarred.

But Juan's situation is different, it's really different, Juan doesn't seem to realize how much young he is because he is still very young and there are many elders in the team, and he must be very sad to be said like this at this time.

…… Although he said that everything was done by himself, other people would be a little chilled to listen to it, right?

Juan also knew that it was not good for him to do this, so he was silent for a while and took a deep breath: "I'll go and apologize to him." ”

After all, although it is the difference between players and coaches, if you count it, they actually have a closer identity -

They are still friends.

"Don't go." Redondo stopped him directly, "Although what you said is not very good, but those are facts, so you don't have to explain anything, he will understand you in the future." ”

Of course, Redondo still hasn't said the second half of the sentence.

If you can't understand it, then the future may be a lifelong enemy, and you will never get along with each other.

Romario naturally knew what Redondo's unfinished words were, and he was silent and didn't say anything, then sighed softly.

Although it was already a commonplace social interaction for him, it seemed a little too early for Juan.

Juan just remained silent and didn't say anything, he couldn't figure it out, if this was also coquettish, then Postiga's coquettish was a little too fierce......

But when he played today, he still faced everyone with his usual attitude, after all, work is work, private is private, and Postiga didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes quietly.

Deportivo knew that Real Madrid had a classic opening five minutes, commonly known as "pit goalkeeper time", in the team playing against Real Madrid, most of them will aim for these five minutes, and the probability of scoring goals will be greatly improved, and Deportivo La Coruna is no exception.

At the beginning of the game, Deportivo and Real Madrid began to fight fiercely in the midfield, the ownership of football has always been a mystery, Deportivo intercepted and tackled more ferociously today, and Real Madrid too, so the game on both sides has a strange taste that I don't know what to say.

Dean finally couldn't help it and said: "To be honest, the substitutes on both sides are still starry on Real Madrid's side from the lineup...... But I have to say that Figo is not young, and the defects in the central defender and back position of Real Madrid can be said to be well-known in La Liga, Real Madrid's defects in these two positions are really impossible to look at, almost all teams face Real Madrid, they are playing for these two positions, basically as long as the ability is enough, it is a play and an accurate. ”

"I think ...... too Florentino didn't know what to think, and was basically in a state of ignorance for these two positions, and was forced to buy Graveson, Pablo Garcia, Woodgate, Samuel in the past two years...... However, these guys didn't play very well, not as good as Deportivo Maniche and Valente. ”

Dean doesn't look down on Maniche and Valente when he says this, it's just that the two Portuguese defenders and midfielders have played a lot less time than the above four, but the data is correct, Maniche and Valente have contributed more to interceptions than the above four.

Although everyone knows that Real Madrid has a pit goalkeeper gift package, but today's gift package is so big, Deportivo La Coruna did not expect it at all, after a few fierce pressing back and forth, Deportivo quickly occupied the initiative on the field, and through the back-and-forth transmission and scheduling of the midfield, Real Madrid was quickly suppressed, and the attack came in an instant!

In the third minute of the opening game, Riquelme cut off Graveson's pass in the midfield, and then distributed it to David Silva, David Silva took the ball at the edge of the box and distributed it to the left, and Diego Forlan, who was directly inserted, received the ball and suddenly shot from 14 yards from the goal!

The shot was so quick and fast that Casillas made a brilliant save almost entirely on his knee-jerk reaction, jumping sideways and then blocking the ball with one hand!

Casillas was used to this kind of warm-up before the start of the game, but habit did not mean that he would not be angry about it, and after getting up, he directly yelled loudly - no way, the stadium was too noisy, and he could only use this method to pass the word to his teammates who had already run away.

"Watch defensive!!"

Since 03 years, Real Madrid's defense has always been a headache for him, although in recent years he has been constantly using all kinds of divine saves to turn the tide and save Real Madrid from the abyss, but even so, Real Madrid still conceded more goals than stars in the sky.

It's not something to be proud of when defending all against the goalkeeper, and to put it seriously, it's a shame for Real Madrid!

Although it was a pity that the goal was not scored, the fans in the stands still regretted it for a while and then began to cheer happily.

The home team took the initiative at the beginning, and it seems that tonight is another wonderful night of high and high days!!

Juan stood on the sidelines of the court and applauded, his expression finally loosening a little.

Of course, he knows Real Madrid, and he is even more familiar with Real Madrid than the Deportivo team that he has put together, and their overall flaws are too many and there are many problems, especially when Lafayette doesn't care about the defense at all.

The structure of the whole Real Madrid team is deformed, so even if Luxemburg has a way, they can only arrange such a formation.

In this game, Real Madrid did not play 4-3-3 as everyone imagined, Luxenburg was ingenious, making Raul, Figo, Beckham, Guti, and Graveson form a midfield, and Ronaldo played as a single arrow - I have to say, in fact, this is also partly inspired by Deportivo La Coruna's formation, but Luxemborg will never admit it.

Raul is a goalkeeper killer, but this season in order to make way for the people in front, he is gradually moving to the direction of the midfield, and even sometimes plays a cameo role as a defender, participating in various defenses, Juan is almost stunned, and asks if the situation is when he is bullied at the Bernabeu, Raul just laughs.

"Guti can play any position to stay at Real Madrid, and so can I."

Since then, Juan has stopped thinking about Real Madrid's stupid friends, and he still has a good conversation with his Igor to communicate his feelings.

However, even if Raul made concessions, it would not help, and Real Madrid still had a big problem.

Raul retreated, Ronaldo, the single arrow, lacked a person who could cover him, and his condition was not very good, and there was nothing to say about being directly guarded against him at this time.

And David Beckham? He needs space to pass the ball, and if he doesn't have space, a long pass with Gold's right foot is a sealed life.

And Real Madrid's biggest flaw in this game?

It's their midfield position.

The man who played as Real Madrid's defender today was Graveson, and by the way, the shot was completed by stealing Graveson.

Allen leaned in and asked their junior manager with some uncertainty: "Juan, I'm not mistaken, Luxemberg is imitating us, making the midfielder the heart of the whole game?" ”

"yes." Juan finally couldn't help it and took a deep breath to stop his laughter, "He has a big role in the Real Madrid squad. ”

It's really big, Luxemberg has high hopes for him, he is not only a barrier in front of the backline, but also responsible for passing the ball up front, although he was such a role in the past at Everton, but can Everton's teammates compare to Real Madrid's teammates?

What's more, although Everton is a small team, he can get enough trust and support, and his teammates can carry out his command 100 per cent, but what about Real Madrid?

In Real Madrid's entire superstar lineup, he is like an inconspicuous dust, and he is also the most inconspicuous one on the field, when he first came to Real Madrid, he could even forget his name in the middle of the commentary game, it can be said that he has received enough cold reception in Real Madrid.

However, just when he was used to such a cold reception, Luxenburg directly promoted him as the core of the team, responsible for the tandem between Real Madrid's midfield and backfield, and he panicked directly.

It can be said that during this period of time, he was under great pressure on Real Madrid, and he was the least famous one on the field, but he had to bear such a burden that did not match his fame, and if he did his job well, if he didn't do it well, he was the sinner of the whole team, and he was the first to be scolded after the game, which made him feel even more depressed.

But after all, he has been in Real Madrid for so long, and he is not stupid, so he still continues to play very dedicatedly during the game, even if he has to go through some psychological construction every time he plays.

What's worse is that Deportivo La Coruna seems to have seen his external strength and weakness, and there are more and more pressing against him, and for a while Gravison has a delusion.

Has he become Lei Dongduo, and the other side is going to defend him so desperately?!

Gavison couldn't say if he was suffering, but Samuel and Woodgate weren't much better.

Deportivo La Coruna's two flanks are Riquelme and Gago, both of whom have good running and defensive ability, and although Gago still has a youthful streak, he has already seen a little bit of growth in the future.

With both of them pressed down the flanks, it became difficult for Graveson to get the ball up front.

And after the two of them began to step forward frequently, Deportivo only had two midfielders left, and Real Madrid's five midfielders were properly inferior, but at the beginning, Juan arranged Nuno Maniche and Jorge Valente to push in the midfield, these two Portuguese are very good at pressing in the midfield, Juan rarely let them play just because Deportivo LaCoruna's midfield defense is generally more solid, and they don't need to get on the field to press......

And on the Real Madrid side, in addition to Guti and Beckham, Raul, Figo, and Graveson, who is from the midfield?

Nobody.

It can be difficult for them to adapt to a new position, especially if it is completely unfamiliar to them.

Therefore, Real Madrid, who looked to have a larger number of people in the midfield, was gradually suppressed by Deportivo La Coruna.

After suppressing the opponent's midfield, Deportivo will naturally become more fluid!

Finally, Graveson managed to pass the ball to the front and distributed it to Beckham, and Gago, seeing that the heartthrob with the ball was not fast and could not break through, went directly up and unceremoniously put the person down.

Although he knows that Beckham is notoriously tough, and unlike his handsome face, Beckham can also be said to be a little expert in taking cards, when he was at Manchester United, he was never soft when he took cards, and sometimes even Keane scared him.

Originally, the English were going to be low-key after arriving at Real Madrid, but it turned out that people can't be too low-key, and at this time a young man dared to come over and shovel him!

Gago got up and ran away quickly, which Juan had stressed before the game, and in addition to pressing Gravison, Deportivo was also focusing on Beckham and Guti, who were no small threat on the pitch.

Real Madrid got a free-kick and Beckham took it from the penalty spot, but the box was crowded with Deportivo players, and Real Madrid had only a few jerseys, and most of them were wandering outside.

Beckham sighed inwardly.

The ball flew into the box and everyone started jumping, with Jorge Valente heading in before Woodgate cleared.

"Now Real Madrid and Deportivo have a 2:3 aggregate scoreline, all five goals came in the first leg, and since the second leg, both teams have kept zero goals."

"We can see that Deportivo LaCoruna's pressing is very fierce, although Real Madrid's midfield has the treacherous passing Guti, the golden right-footed Beckham, the captain Raul, and the devil's right-wing Figo, but in the midfield, these people are too weak."

is very weak, Guti himself is thin and thin, and he basically has the upper hand in physical confrontation; Although Beckham is dedicated and fierce, his speed is too slow, a little faster can throw him off, and the scary thing about heartthrobs is his professionalism and his terrifying physical strength that he can't run on the field; Although Raul's physical confrontation is okay, he has only only come to this position after all, and it is normal for him to be unaccustomed to all kinds of water and soil; Figo is fine in all respects, but he's getting older.

If the midfield is suppressed is nothing, then next, Real Madrid is really a headache.

When pressing in midfield, Graveson and Maniche got tangled together.

Danish defender Gravisen is known as a "mad dog", this bald head - it is worth mentioning that Real Madrid has a lot of bald heads, and at a glance you can only distinguish who is by height - is strong, excellent running, good passing and dribbling skills, but the problem is that his temper is not too easy to control.

Maniche himself is a small man, and he still has some experience in harassing the enemy, so when the football rolls out of the sideline, there are two other people who roll out at the same time......

Gravison and Maniche scuffled together, and it was clearly Gravison who made the first move, and Maniche was pushed out unsuspectingly with his back to him, and then his fists rained down.

The piercing whistle sounded, and at the moment of the whistle, Juan had already rushed over, Allen followed, Juan took the time to glance at him and take a deep breath: "Allen, go and tell the fourth official, if it weren't for the red card and penalty, we Deportivo would have directly boycotted and appealed!" ”

"Good!"

It's already too bad, it's not a reasonable brawl on the pitch, it's a brawl!

Deportivo La Coruna's players are running fast, as are Real Madrid's players, especially Raul, who as captain he has to come and see the situation, even if he knows that it is his own side that is wrong......

Graveson was still covering his face and panting when he was pulled away, the pressure on him at Real Madrid these days is too great, from a marginal figure to the absolute core of the behemoth of Real Madrid, to be honest, no matter how good the psychological quality is, it is useless.

As a result, Maniche hit the muzzle of the gun right today, and he couldn't help but start to move roughly, and even if he calmed down now, he felt a palpitation.

Riazor did not have as much pressure as the Bernabeu, and the boos from the small stadium of more than 30,000 people were not as strong as those at the Bernabeu, but when he raised his head and saw the vice-captains of Real Madrid - Raul and Guti who were walking like water, his heart was cold.

He didn't know how he was going to get back.

The two men were talking to the referee, but the referee just shook his head, then resolutely pulled out a red card, held it high, and signaled directly to the fourth official.

Red card plus penalty!

Juan had just run to Maniche's side at this time, and he didn't look at the desperate Graveson, but squatted next to Maniche and frowned: "How is it?" ”

Maniche covered his face and saw through his fingers that it was Juan, and he whispered, "It hurts a little for him to hit someone." ”

"Did it hurt anywhere?" Juan then asked.

Maniche blinked: "I'm the kind of person who would hurt myself?" ”

Juan then put his mind at ease, rubbed his head and stood up, glancing coldly at Real Madrid, Raul also saw his expression, although there was nothing on his face, he wanted to smile bitterly in his heart.

- Seriously, Real Madrid and Deportivo have played so many games, basically the players on both sides will have a little concern, the game is a game, not against people, after all, there are acquaintances on both sides, and it can be regarded as saving some face.

However, Gravison's fight today can be regarded as angering Juan, Deportivo is not so easy to bully, and when the 36th round of the league comes, if the two teams tear their faces without regard for personal feelings, then they have nothing to do.

But Juan didn't say anything, just stayed by Maniche's side, in fact, he was considered a violation, after all, out of the command area, but the situation was special, the referee said a few words to him, Juan nodded and turned to go back, after all, now the players of Deportivo La Coruna have gathered, and the two teams are currently facing off, and the referee will not have anything to do with the situation on the spot.

"Juan!"

As soon as he turned around, he found that the person who stopped him was Raul, and he just took the opportunity to take a look at the situation over there, Graveson had already stood up, Guti narrowed his blue eyes and was saying something, Juan also knew how poisonous Guti's mouth was, so he took a look and withdrew his gaze, and turned to stare at Raul in front of him.

"What's the matter?"

"......" Raul opened his mouth, feeling a little speechless for the first time.

Although he is very eloquent, and he has long been accustomed to fighting with his friends, falling in love and killing each other - he, Guti, and Puyol have all grown up in the same generation, and everyone has been playing non-stop since the junior team, all the way to the first team, even if he changed from Atletico Madrid to Real Madrid in the middle of the game.

But Juan is different.

Juan is also a friend, but at the same time he is not a friend who was hostile from the beginning, Raul can be said to have watched Juan grow to the point where he is now, how much he has suffered and how many sins he has suffered in the middle, he knows in his own heart.

Now that the two teams are fighting, it's impossible for him to say, "Juan, you have to forgive Graveson, he's a Real Madrid player now...... Isn't this the bandit mentality?

Raul was a little hesitant, and Juan knew what he was thinking now, so after a pause, Juan sighed, beckoned and called people in front of him - Raul stood inside the sideline, and no one other than the players was allowed to enter the sideline.

Raul walked over, Juan hugged him directly, rubbed his head, Raul was immediately stunned, but still subconsciously hugged him tightly.

"Do you know why you don't grow tall?"

......Raul was stunned again and looked up at Juan.

…… Speaking of which, I don't know if it's a sin, Raul was already 180 tall when he was 18 years old, and just when everyone was excited to think that he would continue to grow taller and go straight to 190 height, 28 years old, Raul Gonzalez, his height is still ......

Juan, who was 1.88 meters, looked down at him with a bright and friendly smile on his face.
