Chapter 206 March 9 Update
When Casillas asked this question, he was already worried.
At this time, whether Juan is making jokes, changing the subject directly, or staying silent, he has countermeasures.
But who knows, Juan didn't change the subject at this time, instead he glanced at him with a smile, and his voice was very calm: "Yes."
"........."
Casillas never expected that this person admitted so quickly, he was a little confused for a while.
Juan looked at him calmly, with a smile in his eyes.
"I know you still have a lot to ask, but now is not the time."
Casillas raised his eyebrows, but after getting along for so many years, he certainly knows Juan's cautiousness, Casillas definitely has no possibility of finding out, since he mentioned it himself, then Juan will definitely tell him of.
Since this is the case, although I really want to know, at least there is a possibility of an explanation, so I hold back for now and ask Juan what is going on today.
"You are my sanctuary here. Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I would be given a meal by Raul today." When talking about this, Juan smiled, "The two of them can only deal with it. It can be regarded as a small wave, and it will not affect the general situation."
"That's good." Casillas was silent for a while, and asked softly: "Do you have any hope for this season...?"
Juan froze for a moment, knowing what Casillas didn't say, he frowned.
"No."
Last season's UEFA Champions League can be said to be the most unpopular UEFA Champions League in history. There was not even a giant in the top four. This is absolutely incomprehensible in the future.
Extremes must be reversed, decline and prosperity. This season lacks the unpopularity, dark horses and hot spots of last season. However, the powerful contend for hegemony and the dragons win the championship. There is no eye-popping weird arena. trick.
This is a real tyrannical fight, no one can do it right, and it might be overturned in the next moment, so everyone should be careful.
Casillas asked Juan at this time how confident Deportivo was, but it was actually a bit inappropriate.
However, on these small issues, Juan has no reservations about his sweetheart: "I don't have much confidence, especially in the second round. This game looked easy, but when I came back, most of the players in Deportivo Lost strength, some of them didn’t even have the strength to walk.”
"Moro too?" Casillas coughed lightly. He remembered that Morientes was really tired when he came to him to find someone.
"Yes." Juan nodded generously. Of course it was. Otherwise, why would he let these two people face each other directly? According to Morientes' temper, he would definitely have friction with Raul.
...After all these years, there have been no quarrels, but there are still many fights with each other. They are all men, and there are many opportunities to fight.
But at this time, Morientes didn't have the strength to fight Raul when he went back, and this was where Juan felt most at ease.
He doesn't care what Raul does, the fox won't suffer anyway, he is afraid that Morientes will suffer!It is also fortunate that Raul is not willing to take the hard way. At this time, Morientes will go back like this, but he will feel very guilty.
Juan thought for a while, and after confirming that he had indeed missed nothing, he sighed, stretched his waist, and showed a rare youthful spirit.
"Bayern Munich taught Deportivo a lot in this game, such as the pressure and rhythm of the game, and key defensive areas..." Juan said to Casillas unhurriedly, "Of course , we are learning from each other, but I don't know what Bayern has learned."
During the game, both sides will learn from each other, thanks to the fact that both sides are relatively unfamiliar with each other's formation and running positions, and there is an existence in both formations that can affect the progress of the game, otherwise it is not known who is right now who.
"Speaking of which, the next game will be the final of the King's Cup." When he said this, Juan couldn't help smiling.
This season, he has met Barcelona and Real Madrid several times, except in the league, in the Copa del Rey. However, according to internal sources, the Copa del Rey will reform the competition system after this season, and I don't know what kind of reform it is.
Of course, at least this has nothing to do with the current Deportivo.
Deportivo's guaranteed results for this season have already been achieved, the record for the best results in the Champions League is expected to be broken, and the Copa del Rey is also close at hand. No one can imagine that this is a team that has just been formed for only one season A completed initiative.
"I know, you also said in public that you will let some young children play." Although Casillas and Juan are about the same age, they are only 23 or [-] years old, but after all, one is the No. [-] goalkeeper of the giants, and the other If it is simply the head coach of the club, it is understandable for them to say so.
"Don't underestimate these kids." Juan said with a smile, "They have smoothed out Valencia's defense, and they are the main contributors to the defense breaking through in one fell swoop...Even if they go to the first team, they can't do it in the same way. Better."
Casillas laughed, noncommittal.
Juan also made it clear, the same way.
Why does the first team have to work as hard as the reserve team to break through Valencia's defense?Their own strength is already here.
Of course, it is enough for them to be clear about this matter, after all, this is not the focus of the current discussion.
"Speaking of which, I heard that you and Bayern's Magath are playing each other's ace of the opponent's reserve team?" Casillas changed the subject, and Juan chuckled: "Ace? Well, that's right."
Schweinsteiger can indeed be regarded as the ace and banner of Bayern Munich's reserve team. Although he is young, he already has the style of a general.
And here in La Coruña?
Magath mentioned Messi.
Not David Silva, the core midfielder, not Thiago Silva, a defensive general who is comparable to Schweinsteiger, not Diego Forlan, the sharpest blade in the frontcourt of the reserve team, but It's Lionel Messi.
What for?
Because of the potential in him!
Bayern Munich is qualified to think about this, but Deportivo's foundation is still shallow after all. The only thing that is fortunate is that they didn't leave anyone with a handle when they transferred, otherwise they would really be in trouble.
Thinking of this, the sternness in Juan's eyes flashed away, but his expression became calmer, making it hard to see the depth.
"I know there are a lot of people staring at La Coruña, but I don't intend to spit out the meat." Juan said calmly, "Let's continue talking about the King's Cup."
Casillas nodded, then frowned.
"I remember that although you guys were pretty good in the competition, and those little ones were all little monsters, they haven't fully matured yet, so they're going to be released against the enemy at this time..."
Casillas' analysis at this time is completely based on the position of La Coruña. Juan listens to it, but she knows that Casillas is not an authority after all, so she doesn't know some things. Doubt is normal.
Of course, it was more normal for him to answer such a question.
"The boss is going to retire." Juan bumped his lips, and Casilla immediately understood, and his eyelids twitched.
He knows the character of his family very well. Since Redondo is going to retire when he is coaching, she will definitely send a retirement gift that matches Redondo.
... Like, the Triple Crown?
Just thinking about it, Casillas patted his head subconsciously.
If La Coruña can really eat it, it is a skill, if not...
If it doesn't work, he will help others to find another way!
"What month?" Casillas' voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that something would scare him.
Juan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The season is over."
Originally, his original plan was to let Redondo play for at least one more season, so that in the World Cup a year later, Juan is confident that with his methods and means of building momentum, it is only natural that Redondo will join the national team!
It's not even just Juan who thinks so. Most people in the team think that it would be nice if Redondo was here all the time, but Redondo said that he will stay soon.
"One season, this is already the greatest help I can give you. I don't know that you can reach this point, otherwise you should have retired during the winter break." Redondo said this At that time, his expression was very calm, but Juan's face in front of him was as pale as paper.
"Boss..." Of course Juan knew what he was doing, and the boss saw it. He thought it was acquiescing, but looking at the current situation, it turned out that the boss was already ready to directly Tunzhi, there is no need to transfer to other teams.
"It's so decided." After Redondo finished speaking, he left the field first. Romario saw that he was also saying a few words at this time, coughed lightly and said: "Redondo is not here, I have nothing to do anymore ... at the end of the season there will be several Brazilian clubs who will offer me."
Although he has long been used to parting, the thought of losing the treasures of the two town teams at the end of the season gave even Juan a headache.
At least two positions are vacant, so in the next time, someone must be recruited from the reserve team, at least from the regular substitute.
Originally, it should have been decided by the team's internal struggle, but Deportivo could not bear such a large internal friction, so Juan simply drove all these people to the adult competition system and the top league. Watch them fight their way out one by one.
Therefore, Juan handed over the Copa del Rey to most of the players in the reserve team. He hoped that under pressure, some people would stand out.
Then Deportivo will find a way to buy a few people who need it, and next season's life is almost there.
Juan told all these people to Casillas, in exchange for the other party's constant speechlessness.
Of course he was surprised. After all, while the players of their generation were still working hard for the chance to play, Juan Dias, who was with them, was already the head coach of a wealthy team. Can compete with the rest of La Liga teams.
When Juan said it, he knew the strangeness, but Casillas also knew that it was an accident that Juan came into contact with these, and it was impossible for him to deal with those head coaches in a short period of time, so it was completely It's for fun.
"...Speaking of it." Juan suddenly remembered something, "What about Liverpool and AC Milan?"
Casillas was still relishing the tit-for-tat sentences between Juan and Magath. When he heard Juan's question, he subconsciously froze for a moment: "You don't know?"
No wonder Casillas felt strange. After all, as the head coach, Juan should be the first to care about the result of the opponent's game, so he can prepare early in the next time.
Juan gave a wry smile.
Where did he get the time?
Although it seemed that someone mentioned the result of the other side's match before, Juan didn't care much about it. After all, at that time, he first wanted to cheer up and chat with Magath, and the second was to keep talking. Pay attention to Morientes, come back and reconcile Morientes and Raul non-stop, and then fly directly to Madrid...
What's more, before that, he had concentrated on directing a fierce game for 10 minutes, all the while tensing his nerves, and gave the most precise instructions at the most appropriate time.
Commanding on the edge of the court is not only a mental work, but also a physical work, and the degree of fatigue is not as easy as playing on the court, but at least he is not playing by himself, so Juan is fine, just a little tired , so some do not want to speak.
Moreover, everyone thought that Juan should have known the result of the game long ago, so no one thought of telling him at all.
Of course, Casillas also knew how busy Juan was tonight. He coughed lightly and said, "You can prepare some information about AC Milan... In this game, they played [-]:[-] at home."
By convention, after home and away, AC Milan has already had three away goals.
"Unless Liverpool, like Deportivo last season, have a Jedi counterattack in San Siro, otherwise it is absolutely impossible."
What Casillas said is quite reasonable. With the big comeback against Deportivo last season, will AC Milan still underestimate the enemy so much?
Liverpool is now behind by a big score, basically there is no hope.
Juan smiled and couldn't help shaking his head, but at the same time, there was a thoughtful flash in his eyes.
In his dream, the last two winners of this season were Liverpool and AC Milan, and Deportivo had already been eliminated in the group stage, but Juan also knew that it was because in that dream Here, he did not join Deportivo.
But now, everything is different, and it is normal to have discrepancies from the dream.
But Juan also remembers that this season is not easy for Liverpool. They have been ups and downs for 20 years, and finally there is a glimmer of hope under the leadership of Benitez. , On the opposite side came a heavy mountain.
AC Milan.
From the perspective of AC Milan fans in later generations, Ancelotti has led AC Milan for many years. The most domineering time period is not the two seasons when he won the Champions League, but this season.
In the previous Champions League, Pirlo hadn't grown up, and the team was in the ascendant; in the next Champions League, the team was already old.
Of course, AC Milan is also a veteran at this time, but at this time Crespo is still at the peak, Shevchenko is famous all over the world, Kaka is just emerging, and just like the previous evaluation, they are getting more and more monsters as they get older.
In the [-]-[-] season, these old monsters have obviously reached a certain level of heat, but they are not old enough to use physical strength as a weakness on the court.
Veteran is not old, it is the strongest state.
Facing AC Milan at this moment, Liverpool did not lose this round.
"Actually... I don't think Liverpool is powerless." Juan said after pondering for a while. "Their coach Benitez, do you remember?"
Benitez was the head coach of Valencia last season. He led Valencia to break the monopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona and became the third league champion in recent years.
Now, of course, Deportivo is the fourth.
Of course Casillas knew about Benitez, and immediately frowned: "I remember that this coach actually doesn't have a good reputation among the players..."
"Aimar thinks he's not bad." Juan smiled. It was under Benitez's command that Aimar showed his ability. Ranieri didn't give him the treatment he deserved. Will resolutely join Deportivo, so Juan should also thank Ranieri.
"Benitez...is not very sociable and has a weird temper, but he is a real coach." Juan tapped on the table lightly, narrowing his eyes.
"Since he has the ability to lead Valencia to break the joint monopoly of Real Madrid and Barcelona, then we have to look forward to his performance in the Champions League, right?"
Moreover, in the Champions League last season, Valencia's results were also very good, which is enough to show that Benitez's name of "Master Tactician" is not false.
"Do you think he can bring Liverpool back in an away game?" Casillas was a little disapproving. Although Real Madrid hadn't played against AC Milan for a while, he could still remember the last match, even though Redon was standing opposite him at that time. Many, but Casillas can guarantee that he has been frightened for a whole quarter of regular time, mainly because of the opponent's amazing forwards.
——In those two games, Real Madrid ended in disastrous defeats.
Iker Casillas dare not say what the current AC Milan is capable of, but he knows that with a new blood like Kaka and the maturity of Pirlo and Nesta's partner, AC Milan will only be stronger than that time.
And this season, AC Milan has just ended their league journey. In this season, they used a record score to reach the Serie A championship. Chelsea, who won the league title in four rounds, were overshadowed.
Nothing more, Serie A is the world's number one league!
Don't you see the Ligue [-] next door, even if Paris Saint-Germain will win the championship halfway ahead of schedule almost every year in the future, but in terms of attention, it is far behind the Premier League and La Liga teams?
Nothing more than others, just because of the limitations of the league itself.
Real Madrid should be afraid of AC Milan like this, let alone Liverpool?
With many injuries and stumbling, Liverpool has actually won this step.
So although Casillas admires Liverpool very much, he still doesn't think they can make a comeback.
Juan smiled: "Have you been in touch with Harvey recently?"
Casillas froze for a moment: "Which Harvey?"
Juan also paused, then shook his head helplessly: "Of course it's Xavi from Liverpool!"
He hated this society with random names...
Casillas shook his head honestly: "Actually, I haven't contacted Harvey on both sides for a long time."
"Forget it." Juan didn't care, and continued, "The energy of the Liverpool group is astonishing. If AC Milan is not paying attention, it will also be overturned to the ground."
"Is there such a god?" Casillas looked at Juan suspiciously.
"Of course there is." Juan talked eloquently, "AC Milan is actually a team that is not very reassuring in actual combat. They often capsize in the gutter over small teams in the league, especially Bologna. , this team is simply the nemesis of AC Milan... and besides being good at overturning the boat in the gutter, AC Milan is often unable to withstand the tough battles in the Champions League, which is also a problem."
After a pause, Juan continued word by word: "So I say, Liverpool is not hopeless!"
Although Liverpool and AC Milan met in the semi-finals this season due to the appearance of Deportivo, Juan had a vague feeling.
Some things, the general direction will not change.
Listening to Juan's words, Casillas was a little dazed, but then he shook his head, threw these thoughts out of his head, and said with a smile: "It would be interesting to let Benitez know that you said this. "
It is indeed very interesting, after all, it was Deportivo who made a big comeback against AC Milan last season, and Juan is now the coach of Deportivo. Shake it up.
Juan's eyes flickered, but he still shook his head randomly: "I can't move this idea... Besides, it wasn't me or the current team that overthrew them, but 'Super Depor'."
"Super Deportivo" has existed in name only as early as last season, and now they are an emerging Deportivo team, so that no matter what Juan says, he will not be able to affect AC Milan, but may turn public opinion against them .
It has to be said that last season's big comeback was also caused by the Rossoneri's own underestimation of the enemy. Facing the current Juan Dias and Deportivo behind him, the Rossoneri may have already put them down. Treating it as an opponent at the level of Real Madrid, it is impossible for such a problem to arise.
Of course, the current Deportivo has such qualifications.
"Besides, it's not good for us to help Liverpool." Juan's expression was very calm.
If one of the two sides of the game is a team from their own league, or a team with a good personal relationship, nothing else can help, but at least it is okay to say something to disgust the other party before the game starts.
But now, neither Liverpool nor Deportivo can get involved, and Juan is also very afraid of AC Milan's current strength, so he has no plans to do anything extra.
"Deportivo is already tired of protecting itself and climbing up in the current situation. How can they care about other teams?" '
Of course, thinking so, after the two returned to Casillas' home, they still watched the video of AC Milan's game against Liverpool seriously.
Juan stared closely at the players in white running on the court, and then took a deep breath.
The players in white are the AC Milan players who are going away.
In terms of age, AC Milan's players are older than Deportivo's - AC Milan's entire defense line, except for Stam, the main players are all over [-] years old.
But who dares to look down on this defense?
It can be said that apart from the unchangeable shortcoming of age, AC Milan's defense is almost beyond reproach. Everyone knows that AC Milan's backcourt is strong. Stuck on the bench, there is no chance to play at all.
With Maldini at left back and Cafu on the right, with both wings flying together, AC Milan's scene is simply not too beautiful...
And their midfield?
AC Milan's midfielder is the strongest in the [-]st century, there is no suspense!
Defenders: Pirlo, Rui Costa
Right midfield: Gattuso, Dorazo
Left midfield: Seedorf, Ambrosini
Front midfielder: Kaka!
That gorgeous midfielder makes Juan jealous.
Deportivo's midfielder is actually not bad. You must know that Pirlo's rapid maturity is also related to Redondo. If you have to say it, Redondo's passing skills are superior to everyone on the opposite side.
— But, he is retiring.
Thinking of this, Juan felt sad, but he quickly adjusted himself and continued to watch the video. It happened that AC Milan scored the first goal at this time, and the scorer raised his neck high with his fingers. Like an elegant and proud swan, his handsome face is filled with a bright smile.
"Gooooal!! Kaka!! Kaka is almost full attendance this season. He has participated in AC Milan's games no matter how big or small. However, he is a young man after all. I have a hunch that within three years, Kaka will definitely be remembered in football. name!"
The commentator roared excitedly, while Juan narrowed his eyes and smiled with great interest. Casillas exhaled, turned his head and frowned and said, "I'm not sure about his shot just now."
This really cannot be blamed on Liverpool's goalkeeper, it can only be blamed on Kaka's goal being too decisive and fast.
Juan nodded and said thoughtfully: "Ancelotti is also interesting, just use a midfielder as a striker... I heard that someone suggested that Kaka be the top scorer of this season?"
That is a matter of Serie A, and has no interest relationship with Deportivo, so Juan can ask so calmly.
"Yes, and I think the feasibility is quite high." Casillas coughed lightly: "This Kaka is now ranked first in the scorer list..."
A midfielder ranked No.1 in the scorer list of the first league. Below him are world-famous strikers, but those names were all dropped by him.
Hu Jing nodded silently, secretly marking Kaka's name with a key point.
Speaking of which, since he arrived at Manchester United, and then walked back to La Liga step by step, he heard the names of many genius little monsters along the way. They were all god-level players who were famous in the future in his dreams, and one of them had the most brilliant name. But also the most fleeting.
This name once overwhelmed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but then turned around sharply, which is regrettable.
Juan was still thinking about it, and Casillas continued: "Speaking of which, AC Milan's strikers are all big killers, Shevchenko, Crespo, Inzaghi..."
As a goalkeeper, every time Casillas pronounced a name, he would feel the pores on his body explode, with a slight numbness on his skin.
He has faced Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and too many geniuses. His hands exist to intercept their goals.
It is precisely because I have seen the strongest that Casillas's division of this offensive line is so clear.
"Speaking of which, after watching this game, we will watch two other games." Juan suddenly remembered something, and immediately said, Casillas was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the time.
It's late at night.
But for the Spaniards at this time, it is the beginning of the night carnival.
What Juan wants to watch is this season's game, but it is the group stage of the Champions League-the two games between AC Milan and Barcelona.
The leader of Barcelona is Ronaldinho, also known as Ronaldinho to Eastern fans.Everyone knows the concept of Barcelona in the Champions League with Ronaldinho as the core. However, even such Barcelona, when competing for points in the group stage, fell behind AC Milan by three points and could only rank in the group. Two appearances.
Different from the calmness and ease in the face of Liverpool, AC Milan played a real fire in these two games, showing a fierce look and showing its strong true colors. They won one and one defeat against Barcelona, and then won the game with away goals. With the top spot, such a team is absolutely brutal and domineering.
Watching such a game, Juan took a deep breath, and suddenly turned his head seriously: "Igor, I think I am dreaming now."
"What's wrong?" Casillas looked back inexplicably.
"I must be dreaming." Juan said firmly, and then, as if afraid that Casillas would not understand, he immediately added: "Otherwise, how could I win Barcelona so many times this season?"
Casillas was stunned, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you in need of a beating?"
If there is a person who plays football in Barcelona here, if he hears this sentence, if he is not sure, he will directly rush forward and fight into a ball first.
"No... I just don't understand." Juan frowned.
"Is there anything I don't understand." As a bystander, Casillas saw it clearly, and pointed it out immediately, "You have Redondo in the lineup, and based on his understanding of Barcelona, it is not easy to suppress Barcelona. Is it an easy thing?"
"I see." Juan wanted to smile bitterly, and Casillas realized why he was smiling bitterly, and wanted to shake his head immediately.
This season, with Redondo in charge, Real Madrid and Barcelona were defeated by Deportivo so easily, but next season, without Redondo, Real Madrid and Barcelona will definitely buy more and better ones Players, so what will happen to Deportivo's situation?
Is the prestige that Deportivo has just gained this season going to waste like this?
Will Deportivo be the next Valencia, and then disappear?
Juan's eyes were cold and bright at the same time.
He knew that the crisis in La Coruña had only just begun.
But there is no rush right now, he can slowly plan after this season is over.
Redondo's postponement of retirement should be impossible-as long as this person's decision is announced in public, there is no possibility of change, but it doesn't mean that Redondo can't stay in La Coruña after retirement?
The cubs here still need him to deter them!
Moreover, he is retiring, and he is not going back to the motherland league to retire like Romario. It is always possible to stay in Deportivo!
Of course, it’s not about these things to think about now, but to study the future opponents carefully.
"By the way, Juan, don't forget, you haven't been able to face AC Milan yet!" Casillas said suddenly. Before they mentioned that the reason for AC Milan's failure last season was to underestimate the enemy, but now Juan Isn't that just underestimating the enemy?
Juan paused, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled.
"I know, at the top is Bayern Munich..."
He doesn't look down on Bayern, but Juan is very confident when playing at home.
Riazor Stadium, the cemetery of wealthy families, come and bury one by one!
Putting his thoughts away, Juan patted Casillas' arm: "Let's continue to look at it. AC Milan's formation is indeed exquisite, and there are not many requirements for pass control. I think the children can also use it." .”
Casillas was taken aback for a moment, even though he had known each other for so many years, he was subconsciously dumbfounded for a while.
This person... can steal the teacher just by watching the video?
