football's most handsome

Chapter 123

Of course, this old and young joke is a joke. After returning to this game, Deportivo still made a very sufficient response plan.

First of all, this game is played on the weekend, and Deportivo has a league game to play before. Although this league is not that important, Deportivo is also ready.

Prepare to practice as if your opponent were Arsenal.

Before playing against Arsenal, Deportivo's opponent was Real Betis, and their coach Ferrer is also a beautiful footballer. It can be said that, except for the staffing, Real Betis Sloot is synonymous with Arsenal in La Liga.

...Of course, we also said that there is a little difference in the staffing, so there is also a little difference in the rankings and play styles of the two sides.

The head coach of Real Betis, Ferrer, had already expressed his attitude before the start of the game: Deportivo can be killed or cut at will, anyway, they are not fishes lying down and being slaughtered.

The original words are as follows: "Deportivo is indeed a very surprising team. There is indeed a lot of competitive pressure against them, but Real Betis will not retreat at their home court. We will Bring out your strongest lineup to meet this game."

Real Betis is located in Seville, the capital of Andalusia. It is the rival of Seville next door. However, because it is too aggressive, this team often ranks at the bottom of the league and will always be in the soy sauce zone and relegation zone wandering inside.

Their configuration is indeed very similar to Arsenal, but they don't have Henry the Great, nor Ice Prince Bergkamp. At the same time, their defense is too weak, and they are very easy to be pierced by opponents.

In this game, they did come up with the strongest lineup as promised, goalkeeper Contreras; defenders Juanito, Barrera, Luis Fernandez, Castellini; midfielders Joaquin, Denilson, Assuncao; Forwards Ricardo Oliveira, Alfonso, Martin Dani.

Obviously, Real Betis is full of confidence and wants to give Deportivo a good look at the Lopera Stadium.

Compared with Real Betis's full of energy here, Deportivo's here is much calmer. In this game, Juan started his rotation.

In terms of defense and goalkeeper, Deportivo has not changed much. It is still Andrade, Capdevila, Juan Sorin and Pablo Ibáñez plus Diego. · Lopez, Juan suddenly felt a bit like leading the Real Madrid Five Eagles - of course, he just thought about it a little bit.

However, Deportivo's frontcourt has undergone relatively big changes. Fernando Redondo served as the midfielder, Juan Belleron was on the side to assist in scheduling, and the two wings were Fernando Gago and Pablo Al. Marr, his striker partners are Portillo and Morientes.

Aimar didn't play in the last game against Valencia and sat on the bench for 10 minutes. During the intermission, Juan didn't ask him if he wanted to play to feel it.

——Revenge on Valencia and Ranieri. Originally, he was the main force in Valencia, but as soon as Ranieri came over, he said that Aimar was not necessary, and then he quickly sold Aimar. Laco Runia picked up the leak quickly, and this is how he is now in Deportivo.

But Amal refused.

"It's not that I don't hate, and it's not that I don't hate Ranieri...but I want to set a good example for my younger generations."

When he said this, Aimar smiled, and everyone knew who he was talking about.

Lionel Messi.

The kid is busy running at both ends. Now he not only has to help Deportivo’s youth training competitions, but also participates in the first-team cup matches from time to time. For him running back and forth like this, the entire La Liga and La Liga were very helpful at the beginning. Opinion, especially those teams in the Spanish Second League, every time they see Lionel Messi warming up on the sidelines, the subconscious first reaction is to shiver, and then want to cry but have no tears.

—Brother, did you agree to be the first to use nuclear weapons?

And at the beginning, everyone felt that since Deportivo had already reported him to the first team, they should stop running back and forth. As a result, the data released by Deportivo directly made people dumbfounded.

David Luiz, Lionel Messi, Caylor Navas... all of them were signed in Deportivo's youth training, but they were called up after the start of the season to train with the team. This is also the main reason why Messi's transfer fee was suffocating at the beginning.

A 16-year-old youth training who is 17 years old this year, why did he spend 3000 million euros?

To be honest, even after more than ten years in 2016, there is no such price increase to play!

But Lionel Messi has proven his worth, which makes many clubs start to itch.

This method of exploiting loopholes really opened everyone's eyes, but soon they discovered that such a method did not have any feasibility.

First, they have enough manpower, and they don't need to call teenagers to play football; second, their youth training is not so perverted that they can mix in the top professional adult leagues at the age of sixteen or seventeen. A little monster who thrives on wind and water.

In desperation, most of the clubs gave up such an idea, and then all kinds of coveted Deportivo.

But today, Messi did not come, and Deportivo have reached a very critical step in the second division-their opponent is La Masia, and this is where Messi's real battle lies.

Aimar is willing to set an example for Messi, but he is actually afraid that this kid will go further and further on the road of hatred in the future.

And people who are blinded by hatred will not be happy in life.

At the beginning of the game, Real Betis launched a crazy attack from the first minute of the game. Naturally, they cannot lose their momentum at home, and they can gain a foothold in La Liga by running and attacking. Their progress every season There are a lot of goals, and there are also a lot of conceded goals. Just relying on running and attacking, the points they grabbed abruptly gave them a little foothold in La Liga.

In just 2 minutes of the opening, Real Betis's Denilson made a sharp breakthrough from the right, and Fernando Gago, who returned to defense, shoveled the ball out of the baseline and took a corner kick.

"Gago... This young midfielder is better at assisting forward than defending. Real Betis will definitely seize the loopholes on this side to attack aggressively." Frank looked at the situation on the field with some concern. .

Fernando Gago is indeed very suitable for assists, but although he has a lot of opportunities to exercise, his characteristics are not a defensive midfielder who is good at defense. The characteristics of assists and wingers make him always defensive. There are omissions, and as a junior, it is often impossible for him to do such things as attacking easily, and he can barely play the defensive end, and he can only play more and more depressed.

Redondo naturally also saw his depression, and he also knew that although his younger generation was very similar to him in playing style, they were still a little impatient, and they still needed training in the game to become better.

The corner kick taken by Real Betis was pushed out by Andrade, who returned to the defense. Deportivo quickly launched a counterattack. Juan Sorin received the ball from Andrade at the front of the penalty area. , Aimar on the right has already started to advance, Sorin did not hesitate, and immediately passed the ball with his foot.

Aimar didn't take the ball, but dunked the ball and passed it to Juan Belleron who came over to meet him. Juan Belleron turned around to take the ball, looked up at the frontcourt, and then looked up The foot passed the ball straight to Portillo near the center. Portillo did not take the ball after receiving the ball, but passed the ball directly into the half of Real Betis!

A flurry of gimmicky passes left Real Betis' players dizzy and gradually began to show their flaws when Fernando Gago rumbled into Real Betis' half-court like a tank.

He is tall and strong, but his feet move very fast. He caught up with the football in a few strides, and then he continued to use his feet to dribble the ball when the three Real Betis defenders were chasing and intercepting him. go ahead.

"Fernando Gago, you dribble too much!"

Juan's voice was heard clearly, Gago was startled and almost slipped his foot, but he quickly dunked the ball, made a quick stop and turned around, looked eagerly at the people on the sidelines, and found that Juan's face had indeed begun to fall. Gather a layer of frost.

...Well, he just stayed with the ball for a while...QAQ

At this moment, a gradient blue jersey rushed up from his left side. Gago didn't hesitate any longer, but raised his left foot and passed the ball diagonally!

It was Morientes who went forward!

After catching up with the ball, he quickly swung his left foot and shot with his big foot before the opponent's defender returned to the defense while running!

The ball flew to the near corner of the goal. Real Betis goalkeeper Contreras reacted quickly, blocked the ball with one hand, and then flew to press the ball under him, completely preventing Deportivo's attack this time. .

"Morientes' forward move was very timely, and it was a high-quality counterattack! We found that Juan Diaz seemed to be a coach who was very good at getting the team to make a quick counterattack, especially the various passes on the ground Counterattack, although this attack does not look very exciting, but such a fast, efficient and precise ground counterattack may be what Deportivo is most pursuing now."

Juan didn't know Frank's complaints about him at all. In fact, he was concentrating on watching the situation on the court. Deportivo had shown their ability to counterattack quickly in the forward drive just now, and passed the test smoothly. Yes, which relieved Juan.

The next thing to test is La Coruña's positional warfare capabilities.

After the failure of the attack, Deportivo was undaunted and quickly launched an attack again. Aimar gave the ball to Fernando Gago in the midfield. Portillo, Real Betis midfielder Joaquin intercepted the ball midway, causing loud cheers from the Real Betis fans in the stands.

Although they were happy that Deportivo's attack was intercepted again, Juan didn't care about this failure at all.

"Well, it's not stubborn." Juan was thinking off the court. Fernando Gago didn't show his dribbling ability these few times, but he did a very good job in passing. The ball to a teammate, and at least at this point, he's not cocky enough to think he can figure it all out by himself.

Deportivo has gradually made some achievements in offense, but in terms of defense, Deportivo's midfield is still under a lot of pressure. The breakthrough put a lot of pressure on Aimar. In the No. 12 minute, his breakthrough on the wing forced Denilson to foul and received a yellow card.

"Gago, remember to help the defense more!" Juan frowned and shouted to the field.

Fernando Gago, Juan gave him a new position definition, but it seems that he is not very accustomed to such changes.

Gago nodded in Juan's direction, and began to help Aimar defend more, sharing his pressure. After Gago's mischief on the court was less, the scene gradually became quiet.

Just when Real Betis felt a little fortunate that the game might end in a draw, Fernando Redondo, who had seemed relatively quiet after the opening, suddenly broke out.

After retreating to the center, he received a direct pass from Belleron, then turned around and got rid of the opponent's midfielder Joaquin. When other Real Betis players wanted to come up to defend him, he raised his foot and sent it out. A long diagonal pass.

——To be honest, at the beginning, Real Betis did not expect that Redondo would actually play. After all, according to the previous understanding of Deportivo, it is basically not an important game, like Redon Players like Duo and Romario are all offered in the club.

Just when Redondo made a long pass, Gago and Vereron's running from left to right attracted the attention of other Real Betis defenders. Morientes inserted from the right almost silently, and soon He successfully received a pass from Redondo!

In the penalty area, Morientes casually unloaded Redondo's long pass with his chest, and then Morientes rushed in front of the attacking Real Betis goalkeeper Contreras and directly volleyed with his left foot. , The football jumped past Contreras, like a cute little girl, and then flew into the goal that he had been guarding behind him!

"Gooooal!! Fernando Morientes!! A beautiful goal! But from this goal, we see more of a performance between several stars. Is this the only thing Juan can do? Is that too disappointing..." Frank muttered, and then looked at Dean, who was a pure Juan Diaz fan, and would definitely say something to refute him.

Sure enough, Dean looked up and explained seriously: "You are wrong Frank, although this beautiful goal does look like a flash of inspiration from Redondo and Morientes, such a goal we can I saw it many times in Real Madrid games. This is the most criticized point of the Galaxy Battleship. They have always bought superstars, and they have always wanted superstars to play an important role. But superstars are not omnipotent. When some important games When they play poorly, the team's performance will be greatly affected."

"..." Frank opened his mouth, "Then?"

"Then, even without those big shots, Deportivo's results are still so stable and efficient. Maybe superstars can play a supporting role to a certain extent, but it turns out that they can get to this point entirely by relying on Strength! And it also proves that Juan Dias is not the kind of rigid head coach who does not limit the individual performance of the players, this is the favorite head coach of those South American players, isn't it?"

But there is a saying that is good, you must not continue to lose character in the game, otherwise you will be punished, and it turns out that this is the case. In the next game, Deportivo seems to be cursed by someone Same, all kinds of shots can't get in.

Belleron's direct pass once created a single-handed opportunity for Portillo, but Portillo's kick was a little slower, and the football was held in the arms of the attacking Contreras.

Then, Portillo split sides, Morientes' long-range shot was blocked from the bottom line, and then there was another chance, Morientes topped twelve yards in front of the goal...

Before the end of the first half, Gago also missed a close-range header. His own header is not very good, so this header is not too difficult to accept...

The halftime whistle sounded, Juan Diaz got up and walked into the locker room first.
