Chapter 75

"Hi everyone, I'm Sky Sports correspondent Jen Smith and now we're on the grass in Calderón and looking around we can see the fans coming in and getting ready for the first league game!"

Jane moved out of the way, and the camera swept around the stadium, where the fans were entering in an orderly manner, while the staff on the pitch were also doing the final sprinkling and rest on the grass.

"Thank you Jane for bringing us the scene," Frank coughed lightly after thanking his colleague in the live broadcast room. "Okay, let's take a look at the fans, David?"

David is also a colleague of theirs, and today he was partnered with Jane Smith to report on Calderon's situation, and a colleague was at the entrance to another section of the stadium, and he was now standing at the entrance to the fan tunnel.

"David, how's your situation there?"

'We're good here, the fans are coming in harmoniously and now I'm seeing a group of Deportivo fans who don't seem to be worried at all?

He turned his head and handed his microphone to the fans behind him, who were wearing Laco's away shirt this season.

Deportivo La Coruna has been sponsored by the Spanish local sports brand JOMA since 01 to sponsor its own jerseys, this year's away color is a gradient color, the top is still as refreshing as the white clouds of the snowy mountains, and the color below is gradually deepened, and the transition to the bottom is like sea water, such clothes may not see any problems in the men's model, but as soon as I turned my head, I saw a group of plump and blood-pumping female fans.

Hearing David's question, those female fans turned to smile sweetly at the camera; "What could be the problem?" "yes, how could there be a problem?"

"Do you think Deportivo has won this game?" David subconsciously touched his nose, why did he feel a little itchy in his nose?

"Yes!"

"What's your reason for being so sure?"

"Because Redondo, Riquelme, Aimar...... Juan...... Something like that. The words of the female fan were very vague, but the smile on her face did not look like she was watching the game, but coming to see the lover, but seeing the proportion of most of the Laco fans at the scene, David cautiously chose to leave a few steps before continuing to speak.

"Well, I don't know why, I suddenly envy the male fans of Laco...... The proportion of girls here is too big, right? ”

After laughing at him in the live broadcast room, Frank switched the screen again, this time with aerial footage of Laco and Atletico Madrid's player bus heading here.

It's not that the fans of the two teams are not enthusiastic, it's just that the styles of the two sides are too different, anyway, Aimar said: "I've never felt so many female fans ...... with the car"

Generally speaking, most of the fans who run with the car or come to meet the car are still boys, which is not sexist, but female fans are generally more willing to stay inside and wait for their knights.

But today, it seems that the ratio of men and women outside is almost one to one, which is not a normal situation at all, in this regard, Redondo expressed Xiàn very indifferently: "Fans are not divided into men and women, as long as they love football, they will naturally follow all the way." ”

The whole car felt that it made sense and nodded their heads.

Juan looked back, the little beets in the car were all red, but they all sat honestly in the car, and they didn't dare to say hello to the people outside, and even David Louis, the little baby who usually likes to toss the most, sat honestly, Juan was very curious for a while, and went over to pat him on the shoulder.

"What, nervous?"

was patted on the shoulder all of a sudden, and the Brazilian teenager jumped up almost immediately, his face was full of frightened looks, Juan was speechless for a while and then raised his eyebrows: "So nervous?" ”

"It's not that I'm nervous." David Lewis stroked his head full of explosive hair and smirked: "After all, no one knows me here, why am I nervous?" ”

When he said this, he seemed to be a little stunned, and Juan was stunned.

Now about the attention of the players, Laco is indeed polarized, such as Portillo and Redondo, who are more topical, they are stared at every day, and there are people like David Silva who take a little look, such as Navas, Luis and Thiago Silva, it is basically a vacuum, and no one pays attention to it in front of them, unless it is to ask some questions about other players and want to start from them.

"But I also know that now that I'm young, there will always be a day when I will come out in the future." Luis tried very hard to comfort himself, Juan was silent for a while, and directly reached out and rubbed his head vigorously: "Soon." ”

The Brazilian youngster's face suddenly became sunny, and Juan sat back in his original position, very emotional.

It's true that today's players lack a way to let the public know about themselves, especially players like David Luiz who need the attention of fans, and prefer to be a little more lively, so it's time to think of a way.

…… For example, social software?

Juan was lost in thought for a moment, not even hearing Redondo's voice calling him.

"......" the Argentine was helpless, "Coach? ”

"Ah, what's the matter?" Juan subconsciously replied, but when he looked back and saw that it was Redondo, the whole person was not good: "Uh, big guy, you can call me whatever you want......"

"What do you call you?" Redondo raised his eyebrows, and Juan opened his mouth to be speechless.

"Okay, don't worry about the details." The Argentine patted him on the shoulder. "Wait a minute, you don't have anything to tell you?"

"Ah, there really is." Juan got up, and the people who noticed Juan's movements almost immediately looked over, and then the little coach Laco realized that in fact, the whole audience was very nervous, and everyone was waiting for him to speak, but he was too nervous, and he didn't notice it at all when he got up just now, and scared Luis.

After realizing this, Juan felt a little guilty, but now was not the time to apologize, he said with a calm face: "When you get off the bus later, everyone should pay attention, don't let the media photograph you are afraid, and go in with your head held high!" ”

"Oh!!" Several youngsters gave a very face-saving shout, in fact, whether it is broadcast or live broadcast now, it is not very good at the situation before the team enters the stadium, but Laco is too exceptional, they are simply a news concentration camp.

"Coach, what do you mean to go in with your head held high, I won't ......" Zagorakis raised his hand a little weakly.

"Aren't you the captain of Greece, just imagine yourself representing the national team and winning glory for the country with a small flag in your hand!" Andrade coaxed down the aisle, and Zagorakis could only give him a wry smile in return.

"Even in the national team, I don't have such a high level of attention."

"Oops, it's just handsome to get out of the car!" Valente interjected, in fact, he was also a little nervous, they had been training for nearly two months, and they also tried against teams from other countries halfway, but they didn't know what kind of situation they were in La Liga, and they didn't have any confidence in their hearts.

Compared with the anxious appearance of the young players, those veterans are very tired, especially Romario, who still looks lazy, what has he not experienced, can the start of the league scare him?

"But how did you get off the car ...... very handsome?"

The Brazilian veteran finally couldn't listen to it anymore: "It's okay not to be the same hand and foot when you get off the bus later, raise your head, no matter how bright the lights in front of you are, just go over with your eyes open!" ”

"Oooh!!"

Juan smiled: "Don't worry, I'm ready for everyone...... I thought I wouldn't need it, but looking at it now, it seems that I didn't prepare in vain. ”

Although it was not as bright as daylight outside, the bright light that flickered from time to time made it clear to him that when their car stopped, they might see a terrible scene.

When their team staff took out a large bag, everyone was stunned, what was the situation?

Their head coach pulled the bag open and calmly took out a few pairs of sunglasses from it: "Later, everyone will choose a pair of sunglasses, wear them to get on and off the bus, wearing glasses can not only protect your eyes, but also prevent others from discovering what you are thinking." ”

Indeed, sunglasses are a very necessary thing, after all, it is a big deal to be affected by the light outside when the time comes, and when the glasses are distributed, a few people who can't hold it can be put on them, Romario held it in his hand and played with it, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"This brand?"

Juan smiled back at him very calmly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Romario couldn't help but sigh.

Now the young man starts to spend a lot of money without saying a word, and Ray-Ban's glasses are the amount of a sports bag as soon as he takes them out, which is terrible.

But obviously, after the glasses were put on, the lethality of Laco's group did increase all of a sudden, at least they all looked decent and had some aura, Redondo played with the glasses for a while, and finally prepared to put them up, Juan looked at it: "You don't like it?" ”

"It's not." Redondo looked back at the people in the whole carriage, everyone seemed to be a little nervous, although they seemed to be a little better after getting the glasses, but the naked eye could see that their spirits were still tense, the only person on the scene who was more relaxed may be Juan Belerón, he didn't seem to have changed at all, he was as calm as if he was out on an outing, just by virtue of this he was not at all unusual as the captain of Laco.

After a moment of silence, Redondo spoke again: "You need someone to help you share the firepower." ”

Juan was stunned and smiled.

He knew that his teachers were worried about him, but how could he let the players share the pressure with the coach? "It's okay, don't worry, I can stand it, you just have to go in and play with peace of mind, and I will do everything in the future."

"Really?"

"Really." Juan replied easily.

The bus came to a slow stop, the bus that had been in service in Laco for almost six years was still very well insulated, but even so, the singing and noise outside continued to come in through the cracks, and Juan took a deep breath.

"Ready, we're going to war."

"Oh!!"

The bus driver opened the door, and the outside sound poured into the car at once, noise, screaming, noisy, and the reporters yelled louder than one, and the terrible sound that made the scalp tingle and adrenaline rise instantly made the players on the bus a little timid, Juan glanced at them, got up and put on his sunglasses.

"Let's go."

When Laco's car arrived, the media reporters were all so excited that they couldn't wait to rush straight up, after all, although Laco's roster was reported, but now their starters have not yet been determined, and all the media reporters are about to go crazy, and no one knows what kind of terrible lineup it will be.

The door slowly opened, black baroque leather shoes slowly stepped out, and a person stepped out of it.

Juan Díaz.

He is wearing a very formal black suit and three-piece suit today, deliberately wearing a gradient tie with the same style as the away jersey, and a small white square scarf is exposed in the pocket of the left jacket of the suit.

The fact that his hair, which was already a little long, was taken care of like this, which instantly diluted the delicate and soft silk on Juan's face, making his whole line cold and hard, especially when the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and he even looked like he had an empty look.

Normally, although Juan refuses to be thousands of miles away, if he is cheeky enough to speak, he will still say a few words, but now he looks like a dangerous large carnivore, and anyone who gets even closer will be accidentally devoured.

Especially if he wears a pair of sunglasses.

For a moment, the person waiting seemed to have some body heat, and whoever it was had an animal instinct.

Or rather, nature?

-- The thrill of adrenaline rush when being targeted by a carnivore.

The man they thought was dangerous didn't do anything, so they just licked their lips and waited for Juan to walk around, and everyone couldn't see what Juan's expression was, he was just standing on the side of the car, as if he was waiting for someone to come down?

The next person who came down scared everyone.

Romario!

The lone wolf got out of the car slowly, waved lazily, and walked inside with his bag, ignoring everyone's intentions, and then came down Juan Belerón, who was sitting closer to the door, so he quickly came down.

At first, he didn't want to wear sunglasses, but after Juan went down, the bright lights flickered, looking at the crazy formation, Beleron gritted his teeth and wore glasses after thinking about it, and it turned out that his choice was right.

Then it was as good as dumplings, everyone got out of the car one by one, and the reporters didn't even have time to shout, so they could only step up their movements and press the shutter desperately.

Finally, the person they had been calling for in their hearts came down.

Redondo!

Redondo still looked calm and calm when he came down, and at this time Juan took half a step forward, and the two walked side by side into the stadium, and the people who had not had time to talk during the whole time finally couldn't help but start rioting.

"Juan!!"

"Fernando!"

"We have a problem!!"

But this time, I don't know if it's because of Redondo's presence, the coquettish shouts of those girls didn't work, and the two people left without looking back, and the onlookers could only sigh that the current players are not close to the people at all!

"I'm going to set up a social network." Before entering the locker room, Juan suddenly spoke to Redondo, and the Argentine couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Social...... What the? ”

"Social networks." For a certain backward Argentine, Juan maintained his due patience and said: "The kind that allows players and fans to get in touch with each other, closer to life." ”

"If it's to increase the popularity of the players, you don't have to go through the hassle." "If it's to sell jerseys, tickets, or whatever, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, as long as the team's results are good." ”

"Actually, I'm not just for the team." Juan smiled, who knows how much benefit social media will bring in the future? In comparison, the profits brought by a team are nothing.

"Need my help?" Redondo frowned, "I'm not involved in these areas. ”

In football, he can still help Juan, but in areas other than football, he really can't help.

"No, I just had an interesting idea that I wanted to share with you." Juan replied with a smile.

Redondo shook his head helplessly: "Why don't you think about the game, this is your Lako's first battle, aren't you nervous?" ”

"It's a lie to say that I'm not nervous, you see I forgot to go to the press conference." Juan said something very unbelievable with a calm face.

On the other side, Laco's assistant coach Alan sat on the stage without tears, facing all the cameras and questions.

"Juan didn't come because he wanted to prepare for the fight, you know, it was his first fight in Laco and he will do his best......"

At this time, a reporter in the audience stood up: "Is this really the case, isn't it because of fear and nervousness?" ”

"Really, who hasn't had a first time?" Alan was tired of coping, and finally couldn't help but say: "Think about what you looked like when you did an interview for the first time, in fact, I was also doing an interview for the first time, and I was very nervous......"

However, as soon as he said it, he knew that it was not good, and the eyes of the reporters below lit up one by one, and they were ready to say something to him, and he reacted very quickly to this, and directly lowered his head and began to read the list, and after reading it, he quickly got up and fled, and it was useless for anyone to call.

At the same time, the players began to warm up on the pitch, and Sky Sports' live broadcast room also got the starting lists of both teams.

"Atletico Madrid's starting line-up - Alagoneses; Velasco, Anthony López, Calvo, Aguilera; Corsa, Sampaio, Simeone; Torres, Salva, Bonovic...... It's going to be 4-3-3. ”

Frank looked at the list in surprise: "Atletico Madrid has almost come up with their strongest lineup, right, so look up to Deportivo La Coruna?" ”

"If you dare to look down on it?" His partner Dean glanced at him, "Redondo, Juan Thorín, Nuno Maniche, Riquelme, Aimar...... I'm scared when I see this lineup. ”

"Maybe they won't be able to play all, and you don't know that Redondo, Riquelme, and Aimar are all injury-prone physique and style of play, so Laco's young manager won't be so impulsive...... Right? ”

Frank rarely hesitated for a while, but finally decided to read the list directly: "Let's see, Laco's starting list is - Diego López; Andrade, Capdevilla, Jorge Valente, Juan Sorrin; Juan Bellero, Fernando Gago, Fernando Redondo, Juan Riquelme, Pablo Aimar, Javier Portillo...... What's going on? ”

The two Sky Sports streamers were simply dumbfounded.

"This, A Coruña is crazy, isn't it? It's not like this is how to use more midfielders! ”

Compared to Frank's excitement, Dean was obviously much calmer, but he also looked incredulous: "Laco has a total of six midfielders, which is something we all know, but in our opinion, there are five starters in this game? I suddenly began to wonder about Juan Dias's professionalism. ”

"Unreasonable! What kind of play is this, what are they messing around?! ”

'Should I thank United for not having so many midfielders for him to pile up?'

It's not just Sky Sports' two live commentators who are crazy, in fact, everyone who gets the list thinks that Laco's manager is crazy, and it's just crazy.

Who's going to pile up five midfielders at once?!

There is no most popular style of play in football now, but everyone basically takes the center forward to initiate the attacking route.

"Should I be glad that at least Dias remembered to bring a centre-forward?" Frank directly began to smile wryly, "Where is he going to take Laco here......"

They saw that Juan was still watching the players warm up very indifferently on the court, he had already gone to say hello to the referee before, and now he took off his glasses, and the whole person was still very indifferent, and he didn't seem to be nervous at all because this was his first game.

When the list was announced in the locker room, in fact, everyone was also shocked, after all, no one expected that Juan would only bring a striker, and it was Portillo, not to mention others, Portillo himself was stunned.

"I know people are very confused right now." Juan closed the tactics board and said calmly, "It's just that the whole football world is paying attention to the scoring ability in the front court, and they haven't noticed one thing - that is, the midfielder wins the world!" ”

"So, in this game, we looked at the hoarding midfielder and relied on the midfield's organized attack to complete the interception of Atletico Madrid, understand?"

"I don't know ...... very much," the players replied very honestly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand," Juan smiled, "as long as you remember, what we're here for." ”

"What for?" The players are confused again, aren't they here to play?

"Victorious!" The little coach Laco has a bit of a hatred for iron.

"Oh!!" The players who reacted raised their arms and shouted in Juan's caring eyes. Juan nodded in satisfaction, turned around and walked out of the locker room, leaving them captain time, but what he didn't expect was that Belleron's captain time was so short, he just stood for a while, and someone stood next to him.

As soon as Juan turned his head, Romario yelled at him, "Yo." ”

He smiled at the lone wolf in Brazil: "Sorry, I didn't let you start." ”

"What's there to be sorry for?" Romario laughed, "It's a bit hard for me to start at my age, and it's good to be a substitute or something." ”

"You really want to open it." Juan smiled and turned to look at the exit of the players' tunnel, the singing outside had begun to drift in one after another, Atletico Madrid after the relegation, the whole team has gathered more people, and now the team is very united.

"It's okay, it's not that you can't think about it...... It's you," Romario turned his head and winked, "what do you think of that starting lineup, and the tactics?" ”

"It's the best way I can think of to avoid getting hurt at the moment." Juan replied directly, "Atletico Madrid's team is playing ferociously, and I can only try to divide my attention, Laco is already a small number of people, so if you can hurt one less, you can have one less." ”

"That's right." Romario responded, "And what is the name of your tactic?" ”

"Striker tactics."

“…… Portillo is not a forward mission? Romario was even more stunned at the moment, he had never heard of a team where no one was on a striker role, so who would score?

"No, he's more or less a midfielder." Juan was also a little embarrassed when he said it, he was indeed a very messy manager, when he was at Manchester United, he let the midfielder go forward, and when he was in the national team, he directly came to an unprecedented 1-1-8 formation, and now he came to Laco, and he didn't even put a striker, and directly brought out a 4-6-0 formation.

"To be honest, I've been playing football for so many years and it's the first time I've heard of this." Romario sighed very much, if he was young a few years ago, he would have done it with such a head coach a long time ago, but think about it carefully, if it was a few years ago, how could he have agreed to this little guy to come to Laco?

"There's something you wouldn't expect." Juan smiled slightly, no matter how you look at it, it is ill-intentioned, the Brazilian lone wolf was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Don't play Laco badly." ”

After all, it's not that kind of XJBT tactics now, whoever wants to step forward can go forward and run all over the field casually, in that case, he will really be blind to his football career when he comes to this team.

"No, you can trust me." Juan replied softly, "Or trust in the power of this tactic." ”

Romario was silent for a moment.

"Then I'll see."

After the warm-up, the two teams returned to the players' tunnel to prepare for the game, the camera swept over the player's tunnel, and then subconsciously shifted a little to the right, and suddenly swept to the away coach's box, so sweeping, Sky Sports commentator Frank finally couldn't help but sigh.

"My dear mother, what the hell is this bench?"

Romario, Postiga, Quaresma, Zagorakis, Lukes, and a tall and thin unkempt head and a young man who looked very steady, swept over at such a glance, there were many strikers sitting on this bench!

It was at this time that the players of the two teams came out, and Juan Belerón came on the field holding his own small flag, his expression was very calm, but now in the eyes of the fans, it seems that he has a bit of the courage of Taishan collapsing forward and not changing his face.

A true warrior who dares to take on the responsibility of captain when Laco collapses like this!

On the other side, the 19-year-old Fernando Torres, who was standing at the front with the small flag and the captain's armband, was already preparing to retire, so he handed over the captaincy to their golden boy and the prince.

"Speaking of which." Pompons, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly spoke, "There are three Fernando on the field now!" ”

“…… And then? Thiago Silva couldn't resist talking, even though every time he knew that there would be no good consequences for talking.

"Then, our side is 2:1, do you think our score today will also be 2:1?" David Lewis swears he really just said it casually!

As a result, after he said this, the eyes of several people around him who knew Portuguese were instantly not good, especially Lukes, with a resentful expression of "what kind of grudge does our goalkeeper have with you", which made him frightened: "Uh, what's wrong?" ”

"Ponpony, have you forgotten Laco's specialty......"

"What, isn't it one-on-one?" Pompons looked suspicious, he was also from Laco, and these people couldn't fool him!

"And the 'education of love', why did you forget this?" Thiago Silva was helpless, "You are not usually under-educated, and you were only forgotten about the glowing salary last week?" ”

As soon as it came to wages, David Luiz's whole body was wilted, and he couldn't recover for a long time, Thiago Silva finally couldn't help but speak: "Forget it, I'll invite you to dinner in the next few days." ”

"It's only a few days, then I'm still hungry......"

"Until your next paycheck, okay?"

"However, we usually just eat youth training, and we can't eat anything else......"

"I'll buy it for you!"

"Thiago, you're the best!!"

The others on the bench looked at the Brazilian youngster with a kind of unjust look, and Romario sighed and waved his hand: "Don't say I know him, this honest man is too easy to be deceived, watch the game, watch the game." ”

Juan was standing on the edge of the court at this time, the players on both sides had finished greeting, and then there was a group photo before the game, looking at the group of people on his field, Juan sighed, turned around and walked back to the coach's box.

The people who were still talking were all silent when they saw Juan coming back, thinking that he had heard their nonsense, but Juan ignored them, bent down directly and took a bag of snacks, opened it and put one in his mouth, and everyone was dumbfounded.

"Uh, Coach, what are you eating?" Listening to the crisp sound of him chewing something, David Luis mustered up the courage to ask, Juan glanced at him, and stretched the bag forward: "Walnut kernels, brain tonifier, come on?" ”

"No, no, no." David Lewis waved his hand and then said something that he almost regretted his entire career: "I was born without brains!" ”？？？？？

Facing everyone's smiling expressions, Ponpons's whole person went crazy: "No, I didn't mean that!" I'm just saying I don't need to make up my brain...... Ahh!!hhhhh ”

Seeing this madness, Juan didn't feel strange, after all, Pompons had a convulsion when he was fine, and all of Laco knew that he just sent the bag to the side very usually: "Thiago, come on?" ”

Thiago Silva looked down at the walnut kernels inside, wondering if he had been infected by the people around him, and he said another classic sentence without thinking: "No, when did I go out with my brain?" ”

“……”

Deportivo La Coruna's bench erupted in loud laughter before the start of the game, which made all the cameras can't help but sweep the camera again, and when they swept over, they only saw the players staggering, Juan was sitting there eating his own snacks, looking calm and self-controlled, looking very calm.

"What kind of wind is A Coruña?" The on-site commentator muttered, "They must be too big-hearted, what's going on with this club?" ”

The players on the pitch also have bitterness in their hearts, they are actually very nervous, they are not big at all! Is it the friendliness of their team under the stadium?! Hey, hey, hey, hahahaha, whatever, I've never seen anyone play on the field!!

After laughing for a while, everyone finally relented a little, and at this time, the captains of the two teams had already finished exchanging flags, and had already guessed the heads and tails of the coins.

As a result, Atletico Madrid's possession!

When Juan saw this result, he was not disappointed at all, he just sat quietly in the coach's seat, looking like he was winning, and his ice blue eyes only looked at the situation on the court, so calm that it seemed that everything was under his control.
