football's most handsome

Chapter 293 Battle of the Club World Cup

[Let me introduce to you the club of La Coruña. The overall style of painting is "inspirational and miracle".

A Coruña is located in the most northwest of Spain, on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, and is a very important seaport city in Spain.This beautiful and calm city has a Spanish La Liga team, Deportivo. (A picture of A Coruña is attached)

They have a small stadium that can accommodate more than 3 people, and a dilapidated chairman's office, which can vaguely see the glory of the past. (A picture of the Deportivo team logo is attached)

At the turn of the century, Deportivo were one of the powerhouses in La Liga. At that time they were called "Super Deportivo". A group of young players left an unforgettable stroke in the history of La Liga. In the 99-00 season, they broke the monopoly of Barcelona and Real Madrid and won the first league championship in team history at that time; in the quarter-finals of the 03-04 season, Deportivo fell behind 1-4 in the first round. Next, they swept AC Milan 1-4 at home in the second round, completing an impossible miracle.Obviously, this team once made the whole of Europe look sideways.

It’s just that the game in the 03-04 season has made the chairman of Deportivo Rendoiro discover the team’s decline. In order to seek changes, he made an extremely risky decision. After the end of the season, Chairman Rendoiro chose Selling off most of the players in the team, gearing up for 4000 million euros to restore the glory of the past "Super Deportivo".

At the same time, the football world ushered in the 2004 European Cup in Portugal. The host Portugal worked hard all the way to the final cup in an almost miraculous way. This is also a team full of inspiration and miracles, and one of them is in it played an indispensable role.

Juan Dias.At that time, he was the second assistant coach of the Portuguese national team. He was the captain of Castilla in Real Madrid's youth training. After retiring, he worked as a translator at Manchester United.

His resume is unbelievably thin, but it is extremely convincing. He was born like a shooting star, but at the same time, Manchester United and the national team bowed to him to recognize his ability.

If that didn't surprise you enough--

Just listening to this resume, some people will definitely misunderstand his age. In fact, this young man who is only 23 years old this year is not the same name as the midfielder Juan Dias who shined in the European Cup and Manchester United. , but myself.

(A photo of the boss playing football is attached, a close-up is required)

The most amazing Juan Diaz, quietly collided with the most amazing La Coruña, bringing about a huge transformation in the following year!

When Juan Diaz first joined the team, Deportivo was almost sold out. Faced with this huge test, the young Juan Diaz and the determined and then-moving Rendoiro The decision was made, which attracted the nobleman in their lives-Anthony invested in Deportivo.

(A photo of Anthony is attached, to be complacent)

Anthony is obviously also an adventurer, and he has great confidence in Deportivo.

An adventurous elder, a young man who rises miraculously, and a young man who provides the most solid support. The miraculous cooperation of these three is the main reason why La Coruña can create miracles! 】

Turning back is about the praise of Deportivo's performance in the past season, especially pointing out several matchups with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which made Juan feel a little ashamed.

Maybe watching the game goal highlights will have this nervous and soul-stirring feeling... right?

"..." Juan put down the manuscript that he heard was only a few photos away from the official release, and sighed. "I just want to know who came up with this manuscript."

At this moment, Allen has also read the manuscript he took from Juan at a glance. Except for a little pause in a few brackets, and his expression became a little weird, he still read it with great interest. Hearing Huan When An asked this, he looked up in surprise: "What's the matter, boss, do you think this manuscript is not good?"

"As a publicity draft, it seems a bit too sensational." Juan's answer was a bit tactful.

"I think it's okay?" Allen shook the manuscript in his hand, "I think it seems that this is the case in La Coruña now, and it's quite realistic, except for a little beautification of the characters ..."

Juan frowned, a little worried: "Are you sure it's just a little beautification?"

The biggest possibility for Rendoiro to find Juan to be his head coach is... Fuck, he never thought that Juan himself was actually the big money maker.

Similarly, Anthony, the "adventurous" big money lord, is actually very cunning, at least from the point of view that Rendoiro's face was helpless and even gnashed his teeth when he mentioned this man, although he brought big money on behalf of Juan. A penny of funds, but my character is not so forthright...

And Juan himself, the mood of joining at that time is still very complicated, but it is definitely not as righteous and awe-inspiring as described in the manuscript, just sacrifice his life for righteousness.

"I'm sure, at least from the perspective of my assistant coach, it must be no problem for outsiders." Allen waved his hand, showing very calm, "Why don't we think about how to beat Sao Paulo? ?”

"What's there to think about?" Juan showed 12 points of disinterest in this, "It's not a big game, don't worry too much, so what if it's the first round? Besides, I'm still playing against South American teams." Has some experience."

"???" Allen was stunned, "Where do you get your experience playing in South American teams?"

Juan paused, and raised his eyebrows with a half-smile: "Do you still remember that Portugal has a nickname?"

"The Portuguese national team is also called the European Brazil... Oh!" Allen understood.

"Unless the Brazilian national team and the Brazilian national team have two completely different styles, otherwise I still have some experience with this style of team." Juan was very calm, regardless of his "Portuguese national team" =European Brazil=Similar to Brazil =Similar to most teams in Brazil's league" How far-fetched is the formula?

...Or it should be said that what is even more frightening is that Allen, the assistant coach who is usually responsible for dissuading Juan's unconstrained ideas, actually felt that what his coach said was very reasonable, and nodded in agreement with him.

But at least Juan did not disregard the trust of his assistant coach. In the game the next day, Deportivo played half of the main lineup and got into a fight with Sao Paulo.

Sao Paulo lineup (3-5-2): Rogerio Ceni; Fabbon, Diego Lugano, Ed Carlos; Cicinho, Mineiro, Josue, Danilo, Juan Niort; Amoruso, Aloisio.

[Author's Note: Danilo and Junior are not the Danilo and Junior we all know, they are the same name. 】

Coincidentally, this is Deportivo's favorite formation in the past, and even Sao Paulo's configuration is very similar to Deportivo's choice.

Seeing such a configuration, Allen turned his head to look at Juan with wrong eyes.

That's right, no wonder Juan is so calm... The opposite is the usual formation of his family before, even the configuration looks a bit similar, can you be confident? !

It's all the way I'm used to playing, how can I not win? ?

Juan swore that if he knew that Alan thought so, he would definitely pat his assistant coach on the shoulder and persuade him: "Alan, I think you may have suffered from delusional disorder recently, why don't you go back and ask the team doctor to prescribe some medicine for you? ..."

Deportivo's starting XI for today (4-4-2): Diego Lopez; Thiago Silva, Nuno Maniche, Andrade, Capdevila; Buro Aimar, Fernando Gago, Juan Riquelme, Kaka; Morientes, Figo.

Anyone can see that Juan is deliberately selecting players with a more Latin American style of play, which puzzles many people.

"Theoretically speaking, the best way to fight against Latin American players is the tough guy style of play in the Premier League. To restrain this technical team's approach, Chelsea is already playing like a textbook. Why should Deportivo do the opposite? How to do it?" Frank hesitated, obviously he was also at a loss, after all, it is not that Deportivo has never played against similar teams in the past, why did they use such a style of play against Sao Paulo?

"Actually, we can make a little guess." Dean was very calm. He looked at the scene below the stadium, "We have been commenting on the Deportivo game for more than a season. Among the many opponents, can there be a real Latin American team?"

"No." Frank answered honestly.

"That's right, even if many teams are skilled and even have players with delicate footwork, they are not Latin American teams after all." Dean shook his head, "You said that for a Latin American team, Is it more threatening from a team that knows them all, or is it more threatening from a team that only theoretically counters them but actually knows a little about them?"

"Understood." Frank nodded seriously. "...But if this is the case, doesn't Sao Paulo know La Coruña well?"

"Of course not." Dean was confident, or in other words, he was full of confidence in the coach of Deportivo de La Coruña-this was the gradual accumulation of blows over the past season! "Juan Diaz is not the kind of person who can be easily seen through. His tactics... are direct and straightforward, but they are unstoppable."

In the 5th minute of the game, the South American players of Deportivo immediately showed their familiarity with the opposing team. However, due to factors such as the venue not being very adaptable, the first opportunity came and went quickly.

Gago's right line throw-in, Riquelme cross near the bottom line, Figo header shot wide of the left post.

The Portuguese boss rarely felt his cheeks getting hot, he coughed lightly and turned his head.

Do you want to lose your old face and years of reputation here? ?
