Chapter 108

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Deportivo La Coruna did not change his attacking routine, Olympiacos was quite calm, did not make any obvious changes, very the enemy does not move, now the team is behind, but at least in the first half to prevent most of Deportivo La Coruna's attack, he does not want to mess with himself.

In the second half, Deportivo La Coruna shifted from directly threatening the opposition goal to attacking the attack, with Zagorakis running wide up front, linking up with Forlan and Portillo on the opposite wing.

As Juan said at half-time, Deportivo had a fluid second half, but the threat in front of goal was reduced, and the attack was scoreless.

Juan stood on the edge of the court, his blue eyes intently observing the situation on the field, and he was greeted not by his own players, but by Greek faces gasping for breath.

The Greek players still seemed to have a bit of a problem with their bodies, and they were out of breath at the start of the second half, even defending at the back, and running back and forth with sharp turns and stops kept them out of the motion.

Most of the older players know how to allocate their energy wisely, especially when the game is flexible, such as Romario and Redondo.

When Deportivo La Coruna switches offense or defends across the board, the two of them take the opportunity to get some rest.

Obviously, the opposing players seemed to think the same way in this game, and when Olympiacos went on the attack, the defenders who were not responsible for the assist could rest for a while.

But it was clear that Deportivo had seen through these little ideas—after all, they had a little more here than the elderly!

Deportivo La Coruna desperately pulled the opponent's wing in this game, which made the Olympias players only tired back and forth, often less than ten or twenty seconds after the football was cleared, the Deportivo players rushed back with the ball, which gave them no time to breathe.

The most interesting thing on the pitch for Deportivo was Portillo and Diego Forlan, who almost broke down the opponent's flanks on the left and right.

The opposing left midfielder assisted the left-back in defending Forlan, but with Zagorakis' pick-up, the wing was defenseless, especially the speed with which Forlan or Portillo got the ball, leaving them without even a chance to foul.

The Greek on the right was even worse, being blown up by Portillo and Gago's combination, and even a clumsy foul that earned him a yellow card, looking a little dazed and helpless.

Sixty minutes into the game, Juan squinted his eyes at the court.

Deportivo is in good spirits here, after all, they have always been playing with other people's players, and on the contrary, looking at Olympiacos, the veterans are out of breath, and the young players are in a state of mind, no matter how you look at it, it is a good opportunity.

Andrade, who was warming up on the sidelines after the start of the second half, was called by Juan with his outstretched hand, and then assigned him the task after he came on the field, Andrade is a very orthodox defender, and his key task is to defend, and Juan does not need to be reminded in attack.

…… Anyway, this person doesn't know how to do it.

Juan has taught him many times but has not taught him, and he has completely given up on treating his teammates in his national team.

At the 63rd minute of the game, the fourth official held up the substitution sign.

Deportivo La Coruna made a substitution, with No. 2 Andrade replacing No. 20 Angelos Basinas.

Andrade up, Basinas down, this is the signal that Juan raised to the players in the locker room at halftime, as soon as he saw Andrade slowly running towards the field, the players on the field were shocked, and everyone understood what to do next.

Andrade stretched out his hand to Basinas, who had been invisible for about sixty-three minutes, only clapped his hand in annoyance, then shrunk himself and sat down on the bench.

Juan and his teammates ignored him, and he was left alone to sulk here, and Andrade took a deep breath.

Now is not the time to care about him!

When Andrade came on the pitch, the eyes of the players on both sides lit up at the same time, and unlike here in Deportivo La Coruna, the Olympiacos players felt that this was their chance.

When the Portuguese is defending, the style of the ball is actually not very tough, he wins on the soft, so that the opponent punches over as if falling in the cotton, so Olympiacos also began to move, under the instructions of the manager, the two full-backs retreated a little, and the attacking players kept a certain distance from each other, so that they could be reasonably connected.

However, the opposing coach clearly overestimated the fitness of his players, and after Andrade came on the pitch, Deportivo LaCoruna's tactical style of play changed abruptly.

Juan Sorin and Pablo Ibanez, who had been in the back for 60 minutes, began to plug in from the flanks, with Andrade and Capdevilla forming the last barrier for A Coruña.

After such a long time in the first half, Belleron found a very interesting phenomenon: as long as the first scramble fails, then the Olympiacos players will not come up to fight for the second time, so Belleron only needs to make two inverted passes with David Silva or Gago.

As long as he passes the middle circle, basically no one will chase him.

This makes Belleron feel very interesting, after all, when he is usually in La Liga, he should still be closely guarded at this time, but since the Greek team helps him like this, he is not welcome, there is a lot of space in the midfield, and he can easily play his own characteristics when organizing attacks.

What are the characteristics of Belleron?

Passing, of course.

His ball is one of the best in the whole of La Liga, especially when it comes to the game, as long as he can be given enough support points, then Deportivo will not be overwhelmed by the lack of the ball.

In particular, Deportivo has two full-backs who have stepped in to increase the number of points on the ball, Zagorakis has dropped back to respond, Portillo and Diego Forlan have two wingers to retreat to conceal the attacking points, and Belleron has a lot of options to choose from.

For a while, the scene on the field became better, when the Deportivo players were in possession of the ball, the football would not stay at the feet of one of the players for too long and for too long, Portillo and Diego Forlan, who were originally racing after taking the ball, did not know what they were thinking, and began to touch the ball with one kick, and the football passed back and forth at the feet of the Deportivo players at an astonishing speed.

"Oh, Deportivo has finally done what they do!" Frank slapped his thigh and said happily, "But compared to the past, Deportivo is borrowing a boat very quickly, and you have to use a long shot to see their offensive routine." ”

The players of Olympias were obviously also taken aback, and they did not expect Deportivo to suddenly start playing such a routine, and they did not react at all.

Especially the two full-backs, who had become accustomed to marking Portillo and Diego Forlan to prevent them from breaking through with the ball, did not rush in their direction at all, but instead diverted the ball to someone else when the opposing player rushed forward to break the ball.

Gago came up from the right, Portillo received the ball and turned around, the opposing full-back habitually began to defend head-on, but Portillo was very casual to stuff the ball straight to the opponent's left-hand side, in that direction, Juan Sorin happened to be offside and straight into the ribs of the penalty area!

The players and coaches of Olympiacos were dumbfounded.

Deportivo La Coruna, what's going on, don't play the winger cut in, let the full-back cut in instead?!

After Juan Sorin cut diagonally into the box, the opponent's No. 8 immediately pounced. He was also confused by the situation on the pitch, not expecting a full-back to break into the box instead of the opposing winger.

Seeing that he was about to be killed, Juan Sorin stabbed the ball into the middle first, hitting the goal and breaking through are not his strong points, and he grabbed a point with the opposing player, he was at most half a step faster, and could only play the ball.

Olympiacos' No. 8 saw the ball rolling behind him from his side, and his heart suddenly cooled.

The person whose heart is also half cold is Juan.

It stands to reason that either Zagorakis or Diego Forlan would have been a good chance to catch the ball at this time, but there was one guy standing closer than both of them.

- Fernando Gargo.

An Argentine who lost his shot button from the start of the game and didn't seem to have any intention of picking it up.

Fortunately, Gago himself knew that he didn't have the talent to shoot, so he opted to pass.

Seeing Zagorakis running towards the drop point, Juan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zagorakis is 33 years old this year, and as a striker, he is basically in the last years of his career, and even he could not have imagined that he would have the opportunity to play in La Liga.

This is also the reason why all the media were not optimistic about Deportivo La Coruna at the beginning.

Originally, he didn't have enough manpower, and he bought three people in their thirties to come back, Romario and Redondo are understandable, and they themselves are people who play in the top league, only he was directly pulled up from the Greek Premier League......

Seriously, when he received Deportivo La Coruna's offer, he was really shocked, but when he stepped on the green field of La Liga, he found that in fact, the world is very big, in fact, there are many powerful people in this world, in fact, there are countless amazing talents in this world.

Not to mention anything else, just a few children under twenty in A Coruña, just when they usually train together, he has already sighed in his heart.

It turns out that in this world, injustice can be so obvious.

Those children are really good at playing football, and the random passing and catching of the ball and passing people are spirituality that others can't imagine, compared to him, he can really only be called "kicking" the ball, and those children directly play the ball out of a flower.

But even so, he never gave up on himself, he has been training hard, even if he can't compare with others in terms of talent and age, at least he can still contribute to the team.

The opponent's No. 14, who was responsible for intercepting between the back line and the midfield, met him, and he stared at Zagorakis's run, the two had equal chances, but the Greek captain did not give his fellow country a little face.

Zagorakis directly carried the opponent with his body, and deliberately slowed down the speed, which made the opposing player very uncomfortable, especially when the opposite side was the captain of his own national team, so he could only slow down at the same time, and the ball rolled in front of the two of them again.

As soon as the ball passed, Zagorakis immediately gave up the confrontation and then began to run to the right front, while the Olympiacos player went to chase the ball, just three or two steps away in front of him, he almost watched a meteor arrive in stride, aiming at the football is a shot into the wind!

There are no defenders to interfere with his shots, and he can even calmly adjust his movements to make his shots more comfortable, and the arch of his foot hits the ball, and the colorful ball is slightly deformed, like a meteor flying towards the goal.

Olympiacos' goalkeeper flew in the right direction, even his fingertips touched the ball, and he could feel the force of the ball with this glove, and it was this feeling that made him desperate.

He couldn't stop this ball.

Sure enough, the ball only changed direction slightly, and eventually, the shot that hurt his fingertips blasted Olympiacos again!

“Gooooal！ Portillo!! Beautiful goal!! A Coruña, which we all know best, is back! Their one-shot shots and quick cuts were nothing short of superb, and with seemingly equal numbers, they used their movement and instant explosiveness to dominate them, and the Olympiacos defender should have been eyeing Portillo, but he didn't seem to be able to keep up with the Spaniard's pace...... This wave of Deportivo attacks directly tore apart the defense of Olympiacos! 0:2, with 20 minutes left in the game, this score can undoubtedly make Deportivo more calm. ”

After the goal, Portillo didn't celebrate, he just hugged his teammates around him, Deportivo was so calm, to be honest, if it weren't for the smiles on their faces, they might have thought something bad had happened and asked them to comfort each other.

The Olympiacos players looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

It's weird.

It's obviously the same people, it's the same formation, it's still the same configuration, why does it seem to be a different team? The overall style of play is completely different.

What about their flanks in the first half? Why did Deportivo full-backs rush up? Why are their one-foot passes so accurate? Didn't it say that A Coruña is very good at playing with flowers under their feet, why don't you see them playing today?

The coach of Olympiacos covered his head, and his heart sank to the bottom.

In fact, Deportivo La Coruna at this time is the La Liga team he has spent a long time studying. However, in the first 60 minutes of the game, Deportivo deprived them all with the tactics of breaking down the wing, and at the same time used Guò's pressure on the wing to exhaust their energy.

That's when he began to think about whether his own players ran too much in the first half. And it was obvious that everyone was gasping at half-time, when he was worried about how to deal with Deportivo in the first half, and didn't pay much attention to the condition of the players, and now it seems that he may have fallen into the trap of the opponent.

Now that Deportivo are playing their most familiar team pass and cut with rapid progress, Olympiacos' players are clearly not keeping up with the rhythm in terms of movement.

Ruse!!

The two goals, which almost relied on different tactics, directly made the whole Olympiacos team directly blindfolded, and they didn't know what to do.

There is a very subtle aura on the pitch.

If Deportivo La Coruna start the game is dominated by their fast advances, and once they are defended by Olympiacos in the half, then they will play more and more, both physically and mentally, and will enter a rhythm that restrains their opponents.

However, Deportivo seems to have guessed their approach for a long time, and it was silent before, but as a result, the style of play suddenly changed in this game, which caused Olympiacos to suffer a heavy blow before he could react.

――Big brother on the other side, come here, we usually don't meet in the league at all, and it's the first time in 100 years that we meet in the Champions League, and there is no injustice or hatred in Su Ri, why do you do this to us?!!

It's too late for Olympiacos to make amends, and it's clear that the current shape is not in their favour, with Deportivo La Coruna scoring two away goals and the score dominant, and this is still their home turf, and they have no way out.

Juan didn't feel the resentment from the home dugout, and at the moment he was standing on the sidelines clapping his hands to encourage the players to keep going.

This is the first time that Deportivo La Coruna has tried to change the formation on the pitch, and it is also a refinement of Juan's current formation for Deportivo La Coruna......

Now Olympiacos is faced with a very simple and crude problem.

- How to restrain Fernando Gago.

After the whole game, this person is simply a shadow of Olympiacos!!

However, their head coach reacted quickly, and he switched directly to a central midfielder to mark Gago, and easily removed one of his strikers, and his substitution caused a wave of boos across the stadium.

When the team needs to attack the most, they actually replace the striker?

Is their head coach out of the blue?

The home fans may not have realised that the Olympiacos strikers seemed to have disappeared from the pitch since the start of the game, and when the cameras were on them, they either lost in the scramble or were caught in an offside trap, making no contribution at all in attack.

Fernando Gago is not afraid of being defended at all, especially when he plays in the area that is far behind, and if the opponent pounces hard, then David Silva and Juan Belerón in central midfield will have more space...... What's more, Olympiacos' two flanks are already being beaten to the ground, and their current defense is simply useless.

Juan Bellero played with ease in midfield, allowing attacks to start from the flanks, and Diego Forlan and Zagorakis, who had been holding back for most of the half, began to unleash their attacking power.

"The game was completely in the rhythm of Deportivo La Coruna from 70 minutes, even if they lost the ball, they would immediately organize a counter-attack, once they got the ball and launched a counterattack on the spot, the players of Olympiacos seemed to have a physical problem, they couldn't keep up with the speed of Deportivo La Coruna!"

Frank took a deep breath and continued: "Seriously, at the beginning I saw the squad for the game and wondered, didn't Juan Díaz want this fight? But obviously, I guessed wrong...... You're right, Dias never wanted to give up a game, and he even had the leisure to experiment with his new formation! ”

"Deportivo La Coruna never give up, they are very active on the pitch, 70 minutes have passed, all their players have not slowed down at all, there is not a single one who threatens Deportivo La Coruna's door so far, Diego López is already running back and forth boringly at the back."

As soon as Dean said this, everyone remembered that there were still people in Deportivo La Coruna's backfield, but when the camera turned, they couldn't help but find that Capdevilla and Andrade were standing on both sides of the goal on both sides of the goal, as if they were chatting with each other, while Diego López was running back and forth between the small penalty area and the goal......

This can't be blamed on them, it's really that the players of Olympiacos are too weak, and the attack can't be beaten, and sometimes there are no people in the Deportivo area, all of them are stopped outside, and the three of them can only just look at the chickens and dogs in front of them, and judge them while watching.

The contrast between the front and back was so strong that both Frank and Dean couldn't help but cover their faces.

"Deportivo have a gorgeous feast in the midfield and ...... at the back How can there be a feeling of eating melons......"

Deportivo La Coruna's midfield directly beat Olympiacos into a daze with a stormy attack, and the wind in front of the goal was constantly in danger, like a headless fly, and the only good player in the field was actually the opponent's goalkeeper.

How else to say that the scum defense is a god-level goalkeeper? At this moment, the goalkeeper of Olympiacos almost became the hero of the game, and the Deportivo players could save every shot within the goal, except for Portillo's shot that he touched and did not block, and then in the next fifteen minutes, Deportivo had twelve fancy shots on goal, eight of which were in the goal, and he cleared them all!

In particular, Portillo's close-range point-grabbing shot was blocked by his outstretched foot, which directly made Deportivo strikers look at his expression.

Juan Bellero took his time to take a corner and waited for his own defenders to rush up.

With 86 minutes to go and four minutes to go, there will be no chance unless Olympiacos can cut the ball straight and then do his best to hit Deportivo La Coruna's goal.

The Olympiacos players looked nervous at this point, most of them were exhausted, their hairstyles were crooked, and sweat was running down their cheeks and glistening in the light.

"This is football and youth." On the court, Juan sighed, "It's good to be young. ”

"......" assistant coach Allen looked at their 22-year-old coach with a very unspeakable gaze.

The linesman raised the flag to signal that the ball could be teed, so the players were desperately squeezing in front of goal, Deportivo here, Diego Forlan at the back post, Portillo at the front post, Zagorakiz in the middle, and when Belleron took two steps back to prepare for a short run, the box was in chaos.

But the people in the box who watched the ball land were dumbfounded.

excuseme？？

Big guy, are you driving high? How did this ball fly over the heads of all of them?!

Everyone watched the ball fly high to the top of the arc outside the penalty area, where a man waited quietly.

Before the corner kick preparation, David Silva has been cruising in the midfield, no one is defending him, the football is a semi-high ball in the air, there is no one blocking the route, the flight speed is not too fast, there is a slowdown when it falls, seeing the ball like this, David Silva is overjoyed, he is ready to come to a handsome goal!

Well, the barb is quite coquettish!

While thinking so, David Silva watched the football with bated breath, and when it was approaching, his waist and abdomen soared into the air!

Bang!

Juan frowned slightly and didn't speak, while his assistant coach Allen, standing on the sidelines, slapped directly on his head and couldn't bear to look at it.

"What the hell?!"

Obviously, David Silva, he kicked it off.

The ball spun on his instep and flew slowly into the box.

The Olympiacos players saw that Juan Bellerón's ball was headed outside the penalty area, and they rushed out, who would have thought that David Silva's volley of the upside-down golden hook actually kicked the ball behind them, and they hurriedly stopped and chased back, almost breaking their waist and ankle......

In the small penalty area, the goalkeeper of Olympiacos abandoned the goal and wanted to hold the football first, but someone was faster than him!

Portillo jumped up in front of him and forced a header into the top right corner of the goal, but the Olympiacos goalkeeper was powerless to make one last resistance, raising his hand to the linesman to signal Portillo offside, but the linesman only raised an eyebrow at him and did not react.

“Gooooal！！ Portillo!! With less than five minutes left in the game, Deportivo pressed Olympiacos 3:0 away from home, and their goalkeeper complained that the opponent was offside, but the slow motion told us that Portillo did stand behind Olympiacos' defender in the penalty area, but Olympiacos' right-back guarding the far post moved a little slowly, he dragged to the back, and when he came up, Portillo had successfully scored, and the referee's decision was correct, and the goal was valid! ”

Portillo smiled excitedly after scoring and opened his arms to his teammates, he ran along the sideline, his teammates chased and intercepted him, everyone seemed to be excited and excited to go crazy, this is also a rare excited expression on the pitch of Deportivo players, especially in the first two goals, everyone was calm and self-contained as if it was just an ordinary delicate cooperation, everyone encouraged each other to continue to work hard.

"Deportivo La Coruna have a good habit of not celebrating in the middle of the game, but saving all the joy for the end of the game and breaking out to celebrate together...... Ah, Portillo still didn't escape the clutches of his own teammates, who threw him to the ground, and his teammates all rushed to celebrate the goal. ”

"......" Frank opened his mouth, "Dean, shall we discuss something?" ”

"What?"

"At least don't be so calm at this time, it sounds weirdly scared......"

At this time, assistant coach Allen also rushed over with a happy smile, and the other coaches and players also hugged each other, and everyone cheered and celebrated the team's victory!

Seeing that the clock was about to enter garbage time, Juan looked at the bench to start his own substitutions**, first replacing Zagorakiz with Quaresma and then Capdevilla with Thiago Silva, and it was clear that he was about to start training the newcomers.

Olympiacos seems to be a little unwilling to score this game, and they don't care whether they are still in shape or not, and they are directly overwhelmed.

However, there is a big shortcoming in the big team, and that is that the team will have some gaps no matter what, especially in the middle of the field.

And can Deportivo have a midfield interception that easily get them through?

Olympiacos was unsuccessful with a powerful attack, Deportivo once again played the ball at his feet, and Belleron found Quaresma with a long ball over the top, and the Portuguese was so explosive that he strode wide and slotted in.

Quaresma's ability is not weak, especially when it comes to the control of football. He and Cristiano Ronaldo are players who debuted together, and the two of them are known as the Lisbon duo, and when they first debuted, he was clearly more eye-catching than the skinny kid.

However, the extreme treatment on both sides of Manchester United and Barcelona made him almost abandon himself on the bench.

But it's not too late, is it?

You still have a future, don't you?!

He looked at the front with the ball very calmly, and those who didn't know looked at it, he seemed to be big, when facing the opponent's defender, he kicked the ball directly to five meters behind the opponent, the opponent's defender turned to chase back, just ran two steps, and found that someone around him was galloping with him, and after taking two steps, the opponent had thrown him off a position.

…… Malegobi, referee!! Someone here is hanging!!

Quaresma didn't know what to think, he gave up the Chinese method he was most accustomed to, and directly ate the opponent's defender in such a simple and rough way, dribbling changed direction into the penalty area, facing the Olympias players who came to defend, he changed direction again to the bottom line, and then knocked the ball back to the middle.

Running out of the air, unmarked, Diego Forlan faced this godsend, calmly volleyed, the angle was well chosen, and the goal was in the near corner!

However, the goalkeeper of Olympiacos made another cross-pounce to block the ball, and he only subconsciously because the ball hit him in the face!

"......" The whole stadium fell silent.

Diego Forlan was still angry that he didn't score in this game, but now he was completely out of temper, and after a moment of stunned speech, he stood there with his hands on his hips and lowered his head to look at the situation, slowly stepped forward, bent down and patted the opposing goalkeeper who had fallen to the ground in pain with his face covered.

"What, are you okay?"

The goalkeeper of Olympiacos waved his hand, unable to tell whether it was good or bad, and muttered something twice, and Diego Forlan was completely confused.

He knows English and Spanish, but he doesn't know Greek.

Zagorakis came to his rescue, and the Greek captain came up to check on him, listened to what he had to say, and then raised his hand to call the team doctor.

Olympiacos escaped, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game, their goalkeeper has to undergo an emergency examination by the team doctor to see if there is any problem, and now there are only ten seconds away from the end of the game, Olympiacos has no possibility of saving the score, and the referee is not afraid of being blamed.

At the end of the game, in the 04-05 Champions League group stage, Deportivo La Coruna defeated Olympiacos 3:0 away, and is currently in the first place in the group with two wins and 6 points.

In second place is AS Monaco with one win and one loss, with four points and three goal difference.

In third place is Liverpool, also with one win and one loss, with four points and two goal difference.

Olympiacos is currently fourth in the table, with two losses and 0 points, and his opponents are Liverpool and Deportivo La Coruna, and even if he wins his next game against Monaco, he will be the first team to go out of the Champions League group stage, and will not even play in the UEFA Cup next season.

- Unless they can win the second round, they will really only have to qualify for a back-to-back fight.

In contrast, Deportivo La Coruna will travel to Anfield against Liverpool in the Champions League, and if they win this game, they can basically be said to have secured a place in the group stage.

Or else?

Deportivo La Coruna have scored so many away goals, who can beat them?

And among these four teams, none of them seem to be good at counterattacking, right?

After the game, the head coach of Olympiacos smiled wryly at the press conference and said that the first qiē is not over yet, at least they have worked hard and have been here.

"We've been put in the death group." As he said this, Juan, who was listening to him, shook his head repeatedly.

He listened to the group stage of the Champions League on the spot, and this head coach should be the same, whether it is the death group or not, both of them know very well in their hearts.

In fact, when the people who sang the votes on the stage shouted "Group A, Liverpool", Juan's heart sank directly, and the lord also noticed that his feelings seemed to be lowered all of a sudden, and raised his eyebrows to look at him: "What, are you unhappy to play Liverpool?" ”

“…… What's so fun about playing Liverpool? Juan was a little helpless, "When I was at Manchester United before, I was scolded by Liverpool fans a lot. ”

Although he can't tell the lord about the more specific reasons, he can't say that Liverpool and AC Milan had a big battle during the game, and then Liverpool reversed AC Milan by the way in a penalty shootout and turned the tables directly, and finally won the Champions League in Istanbul, right?

It's not bad if the lord doesn't deserve to be a madman......

Liverpool's table in the league is also stumbling all the way, and it seems that there is nothing special at all, and no one will believe him.

"That's normal, the harder they scold you, the better you play, and the more pressure you put on them." The lord was unimpressed, and he had a deep disdain and indifference to Liverpool, which may be due to the years of grievances between Liverpool and Manchester United......

Originally, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious and polite when Olympiacos was interviewed, but when it was Juan's turn to be interviewed, the atmosphere changed abruptly, and most of the local reporters in Greece were silent, except for a few reporters who held on to the issue of Diego Forlan squandering the team's opportunities, as if they wanted to cause civil unrest in Deportivo La Coruna.

…… Maybe you want to provoke the displeasure of Olympiacos?

To such a pointed question, which could easily cause problems within his own club, Juan replied very lightly.

"It's normal for Diego Forlan not to score today, people have ups and downs, without exception, and in this game he contributed a lot to the offensive and defensive end of the pitch, if he disappears from the pitch or doesn't even see a figure when defending and gives our team a draw or doesn't even stop a single attack from the opposite side, I will be very critical and deal with such a striker...... At least in my opinion, Diego Forlan was a great performer today, and all he lacked was luck. ”

Journalists here in Greece have already heard the meaning of Juan Dias's words, he is casually blackmailing Olympiacos's two wingers who can't see any appearance in the whole game, and it seems to be invisible, this is the first time that Juan has directly satirized the opponent's expression.

This shocked the reporters at the scene, after all, no matter what this game said, Olympiacos didn't show his aggression towards Deportivo La Coruna, right? If anything, the questions asked by these reporters after the game were sharper...... Dot......

Just a little bit, you're not so careful here, are you?

However, Juan Díaz just played with the mineral water bottle in his hand lightly, and noticed that everyone's eyes were just smiling casually, and he looked serious: "What's the problem?" ”

Anyone with a little brain can tell that Juan is not trying to fall into the trap, and the Greek reporters don't seem to care much about their team's loss, but have to dig up some tabloid news, which he is satisfied with.

Usually he is low-key, but now that he represents one league and plays against another, he must not be soft and polite, and let the other party ride on his head.

Seeing that there seemed to be no sound in Greece, Juan coughed lightly and turned his head to look at the camp he was more familiar with - the Spanish press corps, most of them were people he knew, and the faces were very familiar, and it seemed that the major newspapers had learned to be smart, not only sending beautiful women to interview Juan, but also trying to arrange his more familiar faces, so that the chance of being named was much greater.

"Dias, the Olympiacos boss thinks they still have a chance to turn the tables, what do you think?"

- Wait a minute, when did Olympiacos' boss say that?

Although they still have a second meeting, it is clear that the other side is already in the stage of semi-abandonment, and listening to the tone, are the Spanish journalists a little too capable of fanning the flames?

And this fire is fanned in one go, looking at the sincere expression of the reporter who asked the question, people who don't know still think that what he said is true.

However, Juan still gave everyone an unexpected surprise, and he nodded very seriously about the ill intentions of his own media: "I think he is right. ”

"Huh?" The reporters at the scene were dumbfounded.

Juan fiddled with the microphone in front of him and continued: "We only experienced 90 minutes of 180 minutes in two rounds, and the two sides did not play a big scoreline, Olympiacos of course still has a chance, the second round is full of suspense and variables, we will take the next battle very seriously, if we underestimate the opponent, it will make today's victory meaningless." ”

…… Boss, is it really good that you are so humble?

It's really not like you!

The reporter sitting below and Juan sitting on it smiling looked at each other, and the atmosphere at the scene looked a little strange for some reason.

After returning to Spain, Juan Díaz's watch in Greece caused a stir, and the already chaotic La Liga shì seemed to be even more chaotic, although no one was there to watch the game in Greece, they still knew what was going on, so the eyes of all parties looking at Deportivo La Coruna were even more wrong.

At home to Sevilla in the league at the weekend, Juan opted to rest his players and lead a younger squad.

The Riazor Stadium was packed, and the victory in the Champions League gave them confidence in the game, even in the cold weather in November, there were still people wearing thin jerseys to cheer for the team, and fortunately the atmosphere was not too cold after the whole stadium was warmed up, otherwise it would really have to rely on momentum to warm up......

The players of both teams lined up, at least they all looked to have warmed up well, none of them looked very cold, Juan sat peacefully on the bench, he was not polite at all, the long woolen trench coat and scarf were meticulously wrapped, and he looked like a fan who had gone to the wrong place to watch the game.

- Of course, no one is going to treat him as a fan or a substitute now.

Deportivo LaCoruna's starting lineup for this game is very strange, or rather, Deportivo looks quite strange in every game, which also makes Frank and Dean habitually make predictions before the opening.

"Sevilla's starting line-up for this game is - goalkeeper Esteban; defenders Javi Navarro, Juan Redondo, Sergio Ramos, Daniel Alves; midfielders Baptista, José Martí, Casquero, Jesuli; Forwards Dario Silva, Marcukula, Antonito, Aranda, obviously, I guess Sevilla FC will play 4-3-3! ”

"Nonsense, they can only play 4-3-3 with this lineup, okay?" Dean spat and picked up the list at hand, "Deportivo starting lineup for this game...... goalkeeper Diego López; defenders Andrade, Capdevilla, Juan Sorin, Jorge Valente; midfielders David Silva, Fernando Gago and Juan Riquelme; Forwards Javier Portillo, Ricardo Quaresma, Eld Postiga. ”

Looking at Deportivo LaCoruna's starting line-up, Dean turned to his partner and asked, "What tactics do you think they will play?" ”

Frank was stunned: "Huh? I think so...... Deportivo played against Olympiacos in the same offensive set, as long as the overall defense is strengthened, there should be no major changes. ”

Dean looked at the roster in his hand: "So you think they will go back to the traditional 4-4-2 on both wings in this game like the last one?" ”

Frank was a little hairy when his partner asked, "Uh, wouldn't it be?" ”

"It's not that it won't be ......" Dean hesitated for a moment, in fact, he was already a little unsure of Deportivo LaCoruna's tactics now, "If it's like the last game, the two midfielders can defend with all their strength, and the attack can be handed over to the wing, but Deportivo is ...... on the wing today"

After muttering for a while, he said directly: "Let's take a look at what the scores of the two teams are on the field." ”

After the game started, Frank looked at it and finally couldn't help but say, "This is indeed the most suitable 4-4-2 tactic for today's game." ”

"Really?" Dean smiled wryly, "But the situation on the field doesn't seem to be very good right now......"

It's not very good, Deportivo players are still a little confused, although they have tried hard to rotate, but it is inevitable that some players will play again.

They went to Greece on Monday night, played on Tuesday night, flew back to Deportivo La Coruna late Wednesday night, and had a half-day rest yesterday, but fortunately it was a home game, otherwise it would have been enough to drag most of the players down.

Deportivo veterans hardly play in these long-distance races, first because they can't keep up with the audited physique, and secondly, they can save up for the next game, and this is the policy that Juan has set for Deportivo La Coruna - long-distance and close-quarters.

To be honest, even Juan, a young man, is a little dazed in such a dense schedule, but he doesn't mind at all, he has to get the players used to the rhythm of this midweek long run, both physically and mentally.
