124. Lao Jiang's roar

At the Riazor Stadium, referee Swiss Mel blew the whistle to start this small theater tour with an unknown ending.

Iruetta's Deportivo La Coruna put on a 4-2-3-1 line-up that didn't look much different from the previous game.

The goalkeeper is Molina, the left-back Romero, the right-back Pablo, and the center-back is a combination of Naibet and Andrade.

Jiang Qi had a circle drawn between Pablo and Andrade, so he set his eyes there early in the morning.

The midfield is flanked by Mauro Silva and Sergio, with Deportivo at the heart of Deportivo in front of them, flanked by homegrown winger Luque on the left and Victor on the right.

Speaking of which, Spain's wingers are like leeks, cutting stubble and growing stubble, from Luke and Victor in Laco to Vincent and Rufitte in the Bat Army, to Joaquín who produced Betis to shine in the 2002 World Cup, to Navas who popped up in Sevilla in the following years, and even later Silva who took all the left, center and right......

Such an efficient production rate makes every manager who has to face a Spanish team in Europe pay special attention to the wide defence.

By the way, there is also a single arrow missing from Laco's lineup, Uruguayan Pandiani!

The Makai stand-in may not have such a terrifying goalscoring efficiency, but it is practical enough.

More importantly, the strong desire for victory that broke out after Deportivo opened the game, which Jiang Qi who was standing on the sidelines could deeply feel it.

Sure enough, Laco chose to focus on Luke on the left side, but because Jiang Qi specifically told Gattuso to entangle Luke before the game, it was AC Milan who got the first opportunity to attack.

Luke was cut off by Gattuso when he broke through on the left, and Ivan's seemingly random kick clearance turned into a lethal pass because of the emptiness of the Deportivo penalty area, Andrade was obviously at a disadvantage in the race with Shevchenko, and just when the Ukrainians were about to attack the goal directly, they heard Jiang Qi shouting "Hold down" on the sidelines!

After a moment's hesitation, Shevchenko unloaded the ball, and in that moment of hesitation, Andrade had already pounced on him to block his way.

Seeing that there was no chance to shoot, Sheva had to pull the ball back and pass it to the midfield, and the Deportivo had already retreated like a tide.

"Possession of the ball! Ball control! Lao Jiang shouted again on the sidelines, pulling his neck and shouting, the opportunity just now was actually not very grasped, and such a hasty shot to end the attack is better than leaving the ball in his hand to grind the spirit of the Deportivo people, at least not conceding the ball in the first ten minutes.

In European football in 2004, Milan and Arsenal were undoubtedly at the pinnacle of possession, even with Ronaldo and Rijkaard's Barcelona. Therefore, although the physical fitness has been severely tested, the handy routine of playing possession is still within everyone's ability, but the rapid transition between attack and defense will make the Milan players' physical disappearance faster, and it will be accompanied by a gradually increasing number of mistakes.

Irueta couldn't sit still, his dominant tactic for the Deportivo players was to bring the pace of the game as much as possible, and only chaotic battles would have a chance to turn the tables around, but now that the AC Milan players are interested in stabilizing the rhythm and playing possession, the situation is even more unfavorable.

"Fight! Fight! ”

The same repetitive words popped out of Iruetta's mouth, leading the Deportivo players to run harder.

This kind of tactical arrangement has shifted the focus of the competition between the two sides to the midfield, and it seems to have gradually cleared a little worry in Jiang Qi's heart, at least ten minutes have passed in the first half.

But at this moment, Luke suddenly made a strange turn to get rid of Gattuso, and then received a pass from Belleron that was just right and ran along the left wing at high speed, and just before Cafu intercepted head-on, suddenly a close pass drew an arc and moved sideways to the middle, where the person lurking like a hunting beast was Pandiani!

The Uruguayan turned very smoothly, and Jiang Qi on the sidelines also shouted at the same time.

"He's going to play the back corner, Paul, seal the angle!"

This scene has deep traces in Lao Jiang's memory, although the time of the incident was delayed for a few minutes, but the trajectory of the shot did not change a little, so the rookie head will launch the same shouting "He will play the opposite corner", which makes Maldini's shovel speed is about a few tenths of a second faster than the action in the memory fragment!

That's how Maldini's leg really sealed the ball in about a few tenths of a second!

After the collision, the ball line hit the near corner, and Dida reacted quickly, and the good goal-line technique allowed the Brazilian's palm to seal almost the entire goal, but there was still a small gap......

And it is precisely after the collision that the refracted ball goes towards the gap!

Dida had realized this, and his waist and abdomen strength made him struggle with his right hand towards the near post again!

The Brazilian's hard work paid off as the ball was rubbed by his fingertips and bounced headlong into the near post before bouncing back into the box, where the quick-eyed Nesta cleared the touchline with a neat foot!

"Whew......", Jiang Qi's heart was thrown down in an instant, and he couldn't help but swing his fist, accompanied by the exclamation of Qi brushing in the Riazor Stadium, for the home team fans, they undoubtedly reaped a disappointing ending.

Again, this result had a completely different feeling for both the attacking and defensive sides, with Dida rarely standing up and roaring, and he was set off by the silence of the Deportivo players.

"Pestering Luke!" , Jiang Qi's roar sounded again, making the fierce Ivan can't help but shudder.

You must know that in the original 0:4 defeat to Riazor, Luke was the most crucial victory for Deportivo La Coruna. The first goal was his pass to the feet of Pandiani, the second was his cross with a strange arc to lure Dida into a mistake and was cleared by Belleron, and the third goal was the Spaniard who took advantage of Nesta's mistake to burst into the box and blast into the top corner of the goal.

Therefore, Jiang Qi didn't care about his throat at all, and took the trouble to remind Gattuso to entangle Luke, and the rookie coach also specially told Ivan not to pounce but to have as many physical battles with Luke as possible in order to consume as much physical energy as possible from the Spaniards, which is the same way to deal with Piero in the away game against Turin.
