9: Expedition to Riazor (1st update today)
Europe, Spain, Estadio Riazor La Coruña.
The Riazor Stadium, located on the edge of the small harbour, has been Spain's toughest stadium for almost a decade, and has been a nightmare for La Liga giants Real Madrid and Catalan Lions Barcelona!
In 1992, when Deportivo La Coruna, the small seaside football club, began to sweep the Iberian Peninsula with flashy attacking football, an era called "Super Laco" began.
In this era, no European giant dares to underestimate this team on the edge of a small harbor, Serie A team Juventus, Premier League giant Red Devils Manchester United, Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, AC Milan at its peak...... In the era of Super Laco, almost all the European giants at that time were killed by them!
Real Madrid and Barcelona even called the Stadio Riazor a nightmare!
For Super Laco, they can come back to a 4-0 win at home after a 4-1 defeat away to AC Milan, they can be a big upset today, and they can also beat the underdogs tomorrow!
Well, that's Super Laco, they're known all over Europe for their madness, they're a nightmare for the big guys, they play flashy attacking football, they have a bunch of talented players and down-to-earth veterans!
If you just look at the lineup of Bayern and Deportivo LaCoruna, maybe you will have the illusion that Laco should be the giant, right?
Now in this Super Laco squad, they have goalscorers like Roy Mackay, as well as Diego Tristan, a strong center forward in Spain, and they also have the defensive hub of the 94 World Cup winning team - Mauro Silva, although the old Fran is thirty-three years old, but he is still the soul of Super Laco, and Spain Zidane Juan Belleron is the real Zidane in La Liga threatening balls and through ball statistics.
There is no shortage of newcomers like Luke and Capdevilla in the Super Laco lineup.
This is Bayern's first opponent in the group stage of the Champions League in the 02-03 season - Super Laco!
……
Bayern came to Deportivo after the match against Nuremberg, and Leon had a small injury in the match against Nuremberg, so he also deliberately played a set with Amy before the trip.
After the South American Artillery Regiment returned to the starting line and showed excellent form, Bayern Munich fans finally saw the hope of the team's expedition to Riazor.
Well, compared to Deportivo La Coruna's lineup, Bayern only has their South American artillery regiment, and before the game, the Spanish media generally believed that the performance of Mr. 40 million Leonwill will be a barometer of Bayern's performance.
In terms of the odds offered by the bookmakers, they are optimistic that Deportivo can beat Bayern at home, after all, this Bayern team lacks a real superstar other than Leon.
And Leon, he is actually not a superstar, he is still doing the system test task of upgrading from the peak of the third level of the star to the early stage of the fourth level of the star.
Now Leon is also looking forward to this strong dialogue with Deportivo La Coruna, because strong dialogue can stimulate his own growth, and he can learn valuable lessons by playing with masters.
Heathfield laid out a strategy for Bayern to defend three before the trip to Riazor, and on the road, Bayern will focus on counter-attacking and ensure that they can at least draw Super Laco......
That's right, you read that right, it's a flat! Than the bottom? Of course, Super Laco can't compare to the Bundesliga giants, but if you really want to compare the strength, the current Super Laco is not afraid of the Bundesliga giants at all.
And with the fact that it's away, Heathfield thinks a point is perfectly acceptable, and of course, the best outcome would be if they could take the three points away from the counter-attack.
You know, Bayern's group is the group of death, Lens, AC Milan, Deportivo La Coruna, three points are too precious...... Well, no matter which two teams qualify, it will be a loss for the Champions League this season! Because all four teams have the hope of reaching the round of 16 and beyond!
……
Speaking of which, in these days of training, the scrappy pig Schweinsteiger is also making rapid progress, and he is in the most valuable growth stage of his career with Leon as his goal.
The Paraguayan genius of Santa Cruz is a sign of being crushed by pressure, and Leon is also a little sorry for this, knowing that Santa Cruz's height and excellent foot skills will definitely be a big weapon for Bayern.
In other words, the Bayern team now has a very high evaluation of Leon, and the Germans are like that, always rigorous and reasonable.
……
On September 17, at the Riazor Stadium, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich began their death journey in the Champions League group stage.
Today, Bayern Munich boss Heathfield opted for the main line-up for the weekend against Nuremberg.
Bayern's starting XI was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Kahn (c)
Left-back: Lizarazu
Centre-back: Robert Kovac
Centre-back: Link
Right-back: Sagnol
Defender: Owen Hargreaves
Defender: Leonville
Left midfield: Schweinsteiger
Right midfielder: Salihamidzic
Forward: Pizarro
Striker: Elber
This young and experienced squad is currently the best eleven cards in Heathfield's hands, and as the Spanish media said, the performance of Mr. Leon of 40 million will determine the fate of Bayern at the Riazor Stadium.
And on Super Laco's side, their strongest eleven are all on the scene!
Deportivo La Coruna started as follows:
Goalkeeper: Molina
Left-back: Capdevilla
Centre-back: Norettini Nabit
Centre-back: Jorge Andrade
Right-back: Manuel Pablo
Defender: Mauro Silva (c)
Left midfielder: Alberto Luke
Defender: Jose Amarvisca
Forward: Juan Bellerón
Forward: Roy Mackay
Center: Diego Tristan
At present, in La Liga, Deportivo La Coruna is second in five rounds with four wins and one loss, and their attacking firepower is second only to La Liga leader Real Madrid.
In the tunnel of the players, the players of both teams are ready to enter.
A month has passed, Leon's German has improved a lot, and although he is not comfortable communicating with his teammates, he can already speak some technical terms such as tactics on the field.
Now Leon is also asking Mendes to help him find a female teacher who can be multilingual, uh, well, Mendes only knows that Leon is going to learn German, where does he know Leon's sinister intentions - will a multilingual woman let herself learn this foreign language too?
Because after Leon's observation, it seems that special abilities come from a person's surname and her experience, and even the folklore of the place where she was born will have an impact.
Ahem, focus, concentrate.
In other words, in the player tunnel, Deportivo players will look at Leon from time to time, after all, Leon is so famous this summer, the youngest champion captain in the history of the World Cup, only 19 years old set a record transfer fee of 40 million pounds......
Well, you must know that Deportivo striker Bellerón is now earning 500,000 euros a year!
So, Deportivo LaCoruna's players are also interested in Leonwill.
……
Cheered on by nearly 30,000 Deportivo fans, the first round of the Champions League Group D group stage was also kicked off at the Stadio Riazor.
Deportivo La Coruna won the right to pick the edge, while Bayern won the tee-off.
In this game, Heathfield also emphasized one point, that is, the opening three boards must be cut well, if the first goal can be scored at the beginning, then Bayern's defensive counterattack strategy can also be better implemented.
So at the beginning of the game, Leon and his teammates began to try to attack after passing three kicks, as for the temptation? Well, if you try it for a while, then the three-plate axe will still play with a yarn.
In the midfield, Leon looked up and observed, Salihamidzic also had a tacit understanding to quickly insert from the right side, and Leon raised his foot directly near the center circle and made a long pass!
Hmm! The Laco fans at the Riazor Stadium were also scared into a cold sweat by Leon's accurate long pass, which was as accurate as if it were equipped with a navigator, and found Salihamidzic in front.
Salihamidzic stopped the ball with his right foot in the process of high-speed progress and continued to rush forward, and the left-back Capdevilla, who was marking him, was a very scrappy youngster, and he quickly chased back, but Salihamidzic still crossed under the interference of Capdevilla!
In the middle, Peruvian shooter Pizarro pressed Laco central defender Jorge Andrade with a header!
Well, the ball flew off the bottom line against the goalpost.
"MD, what a pity!" Pizarro also spat regretfully, and then he turned to give Leon a thumbs up.
Leon also has some regrets, he almost thought that Bayern could get off to a dream start.
But it looks like Super Laco is a bit slow to heat up today, and there's still a chance.
In the third minute of the first half, Hargreaves predicted the cross pass that Belleron was about to pass to Jose Amarwisca in the midfield, and immediately distributed the ball to Leon and stepped forward, Leon also lightly moved forward, just giving Hargreaves a one-two chance!
Hargreaves cut in at high speed from the middle, and after attracting the attention of Laco defender Mauro Silva, Hargreaves split the ball, and the young player Schweinsteiger on the left side inserted, and in front of the famous La Liga team Deportivo La Coruna, the German teenager Schweinsteiger knocked Manuel Pablo's defense with a clever bicycle and then suddenly sent a cold arrow!
Deportivo goalkeeper Molina flies to the rescue!
Hmm! The Riazor Stadium was another burst of exclamations from Laco fans.
Bayern almost took the lead again!
Corner kick opportunity, Leon stepped forward to take the corner.
Centre-backs Link and Robert Kovac also rushed to the Deportivo penalty area to scramble for the header.
For Bayern, set-pieces and corners are also a rare opportunity for the team to score!
I saw a corner kick, Leon was at the back point, and the Brazilian Elber fought for the ball under the cover of his teammates!
Hmmm――――――! The Laco fans exclaimed again!
Bayern's opening three-board axe was hard enough, but unfortunately, the goal was not very lucky, Molina bravely blocked Elber's header.
It seems that Bayern's opening three-board axe also allowed Deportivo players to enter the state in advance, testing a hair! This is the Riazor Stadium, we are not afraid of any giants Deportivo La Coruna, how can we be pressed by Bayern?
After missing the opportunity to score the opening three-board axe, Bayern's front also began to recycle under the command of Leon.
Resist their attacks first!
