82. Difficult opponents

The newspaper blew Juan a lot of air, and he was a little embarrassed to read it himself, after all, a win doesn't mean anything, the focus is on the next round of the league, their away game-

Camp Nou.

Barcelona's match came too quickly, and Juan was also stunned for a moment when the league table just came down, he didn't expect that he would meet them in the third round of the league, and it was the opponent's home game.

Barcelona can be a tough opponent to tangle with.

In the first half of last season, they were miserable, with a messy dressing room, a disambiguity and the biggest problem – they simply didn't have the talent to do it alone. It can be said that in the first half of the season, they were almost ten points behind Real Madrid in points.

However, during the winter break, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bring in one man - Ronaldinho, and it is because of this that Barcelona came alive and tried to catch up halfway, but unfortunately it was too late, so they fell behind Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna, who were far ahead.

At the beginning of the season, Barcelona brought a very strong atmosphere, especially the football elf, the Brazilian seemed to be invincible on the pitch, every time he dribbled the ball, it was pleasing to the eye, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Regarding this person, he gathered all the bigwigs together and asked about the plan, but the bigwigs were very calm.

"He's playing with balls and flowers." Romario thought about the juniors of this national team, and there was a kind of sigh that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, "But the Brazilians, you know, especially if they have no opponents for a while, they will soon kill themselves." ”

…… This senior, you're talking about your own compatriots, is this really good?

'Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, both of them are tricky. Redondo pondered for a moment and frowned, "Especially Ronaldinho, he can use almost every part of his body to pass the ball where he wants, and it's very difficult to entangle." ”

It's hard to say that Redondo is difficult, this person has defended all the five major leagues, whether it is Baggio, Totti, Inzaghi or Zidane, he has no fear, and even has a great chance of completely preventing them from death, but Ronaldinho is really an alternative, he has never seen a person who can hit the ball like this, he is a person who belongs to all defenders does not want to face.

"No matter how tricky it is, just don't let him get the ball." Juan raised his eyebrows and smiled, indeed, if he couldn't get the ball, how terrifying people were tigers in a cage.

'Barcelona aren't that stupid and now they're at the heart of their attack, Ronaldinho, they're going to put the ball at his feet anyway, it's not going to work, think of something else.'

The three men were silent for a moment, then spoke at the same time.

"How about sending someone to defend him?"

The three of them agreed, and the tactical analyst thought for a moment and asked, "But who will defend it?" ”

Super Laco has several defensive players, and it is basically impossible to defend this person one-on-one, unless Redondo gives up his execution and organizational ability on the court to defend him, but once that happens, who will do the connection between the center and back?

And if the connection between the center and back is not good, Barcelona is not a vegetarian, especially Deco, Juan knows his teammates very well, this person's organizational and attacking ability is first-class, once he is allowed to seize a little gap, Deportivo La Coruna's goal will be lost.

"In the next Copa del Rey, who is our opponent, do you want to use this to train tactics or something?"

The assistant coach on the side subconsciously flipped over the schedule: "Our opponent in the next Copa del Rey game is Real Sociedad." ”

"That's not going to work." Juan directly vetoed, "Real Sociedad's style of play is relatively tough, and Barcelona is completely different concepts, and the players there have always been and still have a style of not playing the disabled, and it is dangerous for anyone to play." ”

Juan actually has a little bad feeling about Real Sociedad, he has not played in the Copa del Rey in the past, representing Castilla, when he met Athletic Bilbao, the whole team of eleven people, went up intact, and all of them had minor or serious injuries, even the goalkeeper at the time, Diego López, was not spared.

The only luck was that they won the game at that time.

"It's dangerous for anyone to go up, so someone should always play, right?" Romario sighed and waved his hand, "And the next round of the league against Barcelona is not good, this Copa del Rey is my one." ”

As an antique, he can also emit his own light and heat!

Lei Dong smiled: "Then take me one too, the two of us haven't fought side by side yet." ”

As soon as the Argentine said this, Romario's eyes lit up, and the thick eyebrows stared at the calm Argentine with a burning gaze: "Indeed, after practicing so many times in the club, we haven't played together yet, it's a pity." ”

It had been a long time since he had this feeling of blood boiling.

Since 97, he has returned to the Brazilian Liga, and it has been a long time since he scored crazy goals in the Brazilian Liga that he has not had this youthful energy.

It's not that the players there aren't young, or that the football atmosphere there isn't vibrant, but what can I say......

Isn't it interesting that you let the Olympic champions play against the provincial players? Even if he is old, he can still abuse this group of little children.

- Sure enough, La Liga is the most interesting!

After the two bigwigs finished their questions, they left, and the two of them were ready to go to the court to practice their footwork, for which Juan was very grateful. Since Romario and the others, his teachers have rarely patronized him, which makes Juan very happy, after all, he is still a head coach anyway!

The way the manager is abused to death, it's not good to be seen by the players all the time!

"Aimar and Riquelme, let's go to the other of them." The tactical analyst handed him the notebook in his hand, Juan looked at it, this is the analysis of the game these days, these two people have not played for two games in addition to the first round of the league, Juan smiled: "Okay, if it can be arranged, these two people are also good together, after all, they are friends, and the tacit understanding is enough." ”

"Wouldn't it be too risky to have the King's Cup at once?" The tactical analyst is very worried, after all, the opponent is a very fierce style of play, if one is injured, how difficult will they be here?

Laco is already short of people, and the league has just started, so they can't start to tighten up from now on, right?

"It's okay, let them go." Juan handed him back the notebook, his face was very calm, and that kind of certainty was his belief in the strength of the players: "And don't forget, they are all people who have been in La Liga for many years, and they won't just fall here." ”

What's wrong with the soft style of play, who says that football must be straight and everyone is rough? He didn't think so anyway.

In the game against Real Sociedad, Deportivo still surprised the people who came up, Sky Sports' Frank and Dean are now full-time broadcasters of Deportivo La Coruna's games, even the Copa del Rey did not let go, and they found out when they broadcast TV statistics that when Deportivo La Coruna FC played, the ratings were simply a small peak.

"Hello everyone, this is Sky Sports, I'm Frank."

"I'm Dean and I'm broadcasting the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad La Coruna and as far as we know, both teams have very peculiar names in La Liga."

"Yes, yes, Real Sociedad is also called Real Underworld, and Deportivo is directly called Laco Trusteeship, these two teams are simply two extremes hahaha."

"Indeed, Frank, if you look at the starting line-ups for today's game, it's just two extremes."

"Real Sociedad's list is full of young adults, the youngest is 23 years old, and the oldest is 28-year-old goalkeeper Javier, but look at Deportivo La Coruna? In the starting list, the youngest is only 17 years old, and the oldest is 38 years old...... Perfectly avoided the golden age of 24-27 year olds. ”

"Juan Bellerón is the only player who has a slight touch on this age group, as the captain of the team, he is the most stable part of Deportivo LaCoruna's starting line-up at the moment, it can be said that apart from him, even the goalkeeper position has been rotated, and Deportivo has not decided on the vice-captain, so they have always asked their captain to play?"

"Honestly, rather than not deciding on the vice-captain, I would insist that Juan did it so that the team's tradition would not be lost...... After all, you also know that Deportivo has only three original players now, except for Belleron, the other two are still defenders, the kind that often rotates, so there is no way to do it. ”

The game began as the two hosts gossiped, and it was a game that surprised everyone, and instead of continuing the 4-3-3 attacking formation of the previous two games, they took the same caution as they did in the first round of the league, slowly falling to their feet, weaving nets in their own half, waiting for the opposing players to fall into the trap.

As soon as they saw such a scene, for some reason, Frank and Dean's hearts began to tighten up.

"Dean, you tell me honestly, are you nervous every time you see them passing the ball slowly?"

Dean took a deep breath: "I'm not nervous...... Well, that's a lie, and honestly every time I see Deportivo slowly fall in midfield and Juan Díaz calmly watch from the sidelines, I get nervous and feel like I'm watching some kind of predator. ”

"Dias is a very attacking player, but when he was coaching, he became very patient, and he could hold back his attacking desire for a victory, and I have to say that this is the most frightening part."

In nature, the most terrifying thing is not the creatures that rush straight up, but the kind that waits patiently until the fatal blow is delivered in order to hunt their prey.

"I'm wondering if they're going to use Real Sociedad to practice against Barcelona......" Frank said, looking helpless. Real Sociedad and Barcelona are almost two styles of play, but in terms of difficult Cheng Dù, the two teams are still comparable, Dean, do you think this tactic will work for Barcelona? ”

"I think it's dangerous." Dean hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, no matter what, the gap between the players of the two teams is here. It's like a spider preying on its prey, a moth hits a web and can't escape, but once a bird hits a web, what will be the consequences? ”

Of course, it was the web that was broken, and the spider's layout was ruined.
