Chapter 106 I really want to beat Barcelona once
"Ivan can train with the team?"
Valverde arrived at the training ground early on Tuesday morning when he stood with assistant coach Ruby and chatted about Ivan de la Pena.
'The team doctor's report shows that he is fully fit to come back, the only thing that hinders him is fitness. Lu Rushi reported.
"Fitness,"
Valverde squinted, calculating the rest of the time.
"There are four days left, and he can catch up."
'We need him to play at least 60 minutes, even 70 minutes.'
Playing Barcelona is more difficult than playing Real Madrid, and De La Pena's timely comeback is tantamount to a timely rain.
Just like Casilla as a former Real Madrid player, de la Pena as a former Barcelona player will be extra motivated for the game, not to mention that de la Pena is at the heart of the Spaniard himself.
With Tamudo and Garcia's efforts in the distant future, de la Pena is even more precious.
"He's already training."
Ruby snapped and shook his jaw to point Valverde in the right direction.
"Yo, he's actually training with Stone."
"Looks like he's desperate for battle."
Valverde's eyes lit up, and he turned to a look of relief, wasn't De La Pena running with Wu Sanshi?
The 33-year-old de la Pena is still hungry for the game and still wants to prove himself in front of his former club, which is quite good!
"Tell him not to get hurt."
"We need him."
※※※※
On the training ground, De la Pena and Wu Sanshi ran side by side.
“stone,”
"You know what? The old captain Tamudo has not been very fast. ”
'But he always scores.'
'He's the kind of player who is used to cruising around the offside line looking for opportunities and the two of us always have a good chemistry......
De la Pena and Wu Sanshi were chatting about Tamudo, and Wu Sanshi was also very patient as he ran and listened.
Obviously, de la Pena and Tamudo are very good friends.
"However, the most spiritual guy in front of the door is Raul."
'As long as you pass the ball, he's always where you need to be.
"Oh, that guy, always so spiritual."
De la Pena has a bit of a lot to say today.
Can Raul Gonzalez, the famous Prince of the Bernabeu, captain of Spain be without spirituality? "We were ...... when we were in the national youth team"
followed by another praise for Raul, but unfortunately the national team career of his friend Raul is completely different, Raul became the captain of Spain at a young age, and de la Pena was 33 years old, he only had 5 appearances in the national team, and their beauty stayed in the national youth team......
"But my favorite guy is Ronaldo."
"Aliens," Wu Sanshi nodded.
"Yes, he's perfect, he's better than any striker in the world."
'I just had to put the ball in front of him and he would almost score. Ah, that guy, he's really too strong, too strong, unbeatable......"
"Our fit was perfect."
De la Pena is like being drunk, always recalling with affection every striker he has worked with.
Fans who watched the 1996-97 Barcelona game will remember the scene:
Ronaldo, who is in the front court, receives a direct pass, forms a single or semi-single knife, accelerates the start, forcibly overtakes people, and then feints to shake the chasing defender, casually brushes the goalkeeper, and then habitually shows his celebratory actions - running with open arms for a while, and then waving his right hand into a fist from top to bottom, leaving the kneeling goalkeeper, the defender who picks up the ball, the dumbfounded referee, the stunned spectators, the teammates who don't have time to celebrate, and Bobby Robson who can't believe his eyes with his head in his hands......
And it was De la Pena who sent direct passes to Ronaldo again and again!
It's no wonder that he misses Ronaldo the most......
Titled 'Little Buddha', he has started and gone high and low in his career, going to many clubs such as Barcelona, Lazio, Atletico Madrid, and finally returning to the top in Espanyol, and his life can be described as a big ups and downs.
Although his career has not achieved much, and his national team career has not been satisfactory, he can also be said to be an alternative legend.
"My old partner Tamudo is also injured and I'm always asking myself how long I can stay on the pitch."
"Don't be like that, Ivan, you're only 33 years old, and you can play for at least three or five years." Infected by De La Pena's emotions, Wu Sanshi's mood was also a little low, but he still tried to comfort De La Pena.
"Heh, maybe I won't be able to wait that long." De la Pena squinted and kept her eyes on the runway ahead.
"You know what? Stone, I'm very optimistic about you, I like the way you play, you always cruise near the offside line, you always find a way to get the ball, you have a lot of spirit and you're faster. I also like to pass the ball to you. After Tamudo's injury, I thought I had lost my best partner, but you stepped up. ”
"Thank you."
Suddenly, De La Pena stopped, his expression became richer, and Wu Sanshi also stopped, not knowing what De La Pena was going to do.
"Sometimes, everything can be as simple as it doesn't require complicated coordination and tactics."
'I pass the ball, you run, you get the ball and shoot and then you score.
"I think we should have that tacit understanding."
Wu Sanshi didn't know what to say, and he always felt that today's De la Pena was a little abnormal, but the next sentence made him stunned.
"I really want to beat Barcelona once."
Is this a dream?
Does he have a hate for Barcelona?
Yes, he always felt that Barcelona had abandoned him and that Barcelona owed him.
In fact, since joining Espanyol in 2002, De la Pena has had bad luck against his former club, never beating Barcelona in a derby, and losing all but one of his matches against Barcelona.
Every time he played against Barcelona, he wanted revenge.
Each time, he failed.
Who fights the hardest in every Barcelona derby? That man was undoubtedly de la Pena......
"Let's see what's going to happen this weekend, shall we?"
De La Pena retracted her thoughts, patted Wu Sanshi on the shoulder, and ran again.
Big brother, you actually put your desire to beat Barcelona on a teenager who is less than 17 years old? I'm actually 27 years old......
Wu Sanshi chased after him again, he knew that De La Pena was not just talking, his heart must be full of infinite longing.
Just like Chinese fans have longed for the World Cup countless times......
Persistent!
training
Crazy training.
These days, there is always an old and a young figure on the Espanyol's training ground early, they run together, they train with the ball together, and even eat together, and even Casilla is a little jealous......
"Stone, you should have been a little earlier, my ball will definitely be there, you don't have to doubt it."
"Stone, you should shoot straight at goal, they won't give you such a shot adjustment."
“stone……”
Halker and Riela stood not far away, and the two of them muttered.
"Ivan is crazy again."
"When it comes to this time, his mood always changes a lot."
'Understand, he really wants to beat Barcelona.'
"For him, we have to do our best!"
"Are you ready?"
"Heh, I've been waiting for this day for a long time......" Halque was full of confidence and puffed out his chest, in fact, De la Pena was the only one who wanted to beat Barcelona?
