football's most handsome

Chapter 101 The first match of the Champions League

It is not surprising that such a weathervane suddenly appeared in the media. After all, last night, Deportivo directly dealt a heavy blow to the Ligue [-] club.

Before the game, everyone thought that Deportivo and Monaco were evenly divided, but Deportivo's lineup had a bit of an advantage, after all, it still had more big names.

--Can!yes!

None of them expected that Deportivo would care so much about their first Champions League match!

When all the live broadcast commentators got the starting list of La Coruña, they stared at it for a while, and almost lost their voices at the same time: "[beep——]?!!"

The reason why I specifically need to mute the sound is that the national curses of various countries are too rich, and they cannot all be translated at once... And when it comes to live broadcasts, when you are the host, you still have to pay attention to your own public influence!

Seeing Deportivo's starting roster, everyone wanted to vomit blood!

"Ahem..." Frank coughed twice, "La Coruña came up with his...the most amazing combination."

"Goalkeeper Diego Lopez; defenders Capdevila, Juan Sorin, Andrade, Nuno Maniche; midfielders Juan Verleron, Fernando Redondo, Barber Lo Aimar, Juan Riquelme; strikers Sousa Romario and Theodoros Zagorakis..."

When he pronounced the last name, Frank almost bit his tongue: "My God, why is there a Greek here?!"

Dean was also silent for a while, and decided to follow in the footsteps of his partner and talk about the Greek's problem: "Actually, Deportivo bought two Greeks at the beginning of the season. Greek defender Basinas only played 45 minutes in the first game against Las Palmas in Deportivo and has been frozen since then, while Greek captain Zagorakis has not started his game until today. Deportivo debut."

"The club's debut is the Champions League, and it's the club's first Champions League game...Although at the beginning I wanted to say whether Juan didn't care much about the two Greeks, but when I saw this lineup, I couldn't help it. I'm starting to have doubts."

It is indeed time to be suspicious. Looking at Deportivo's 11-man lineup, there is not a weak chicken in it! ... Pooh, not a single young man!

This means that everyone in this team can handle the ball maturely, like the "mistakes made by impulsive young people" that Deportivo would have made in the past, should be gone in this game!Among these 11 people, at least 10 people have left a deep impression on everyone, and the only one is the Greek captain.

"But actually thinking about it, it's not very strange for Zagorakis to appear here," Frank comforted himself, "At least in the European Cup in 04, Zagorakis' Greek team had twice forced Juan Diaz's Portugal team... although at the end, Portugal team ended the game with a crazy formation."

Dean coughed lightly, and quickly brought the topic back: "Yes, that's right, Zagorakis can be said to be a very typical forward, and there are still many things he can do on the forward line."

"And Deportivo's midfielder is really too extravagant." Frank sighed, "Defense, organization, connection, attack, these four people can basically do it perfectly, and there is no obvious shortcoming... The defense doesn't even want to face the level, and Deportivo is too serious in this first game, right?"

"I think it's good to be serious." Dean coughed lightly, "After all, it is a good omen to be able to win at the beginning, so it is understandable for Deportivo to put up such a formation now that I think about it. of."

——Understandable ass! !

The average age of Deportivo's starting lineup is almost 28, okay? ! !Can you treat the elderly well? ! !Take a closer look, basically all of them are players from the high-attack crispy series? ! !

Deportivo's game is completely written on their own face "kick me disabled"!Is this really good? !

"Hey, I don't know how many people will be hurt by Deportivo..." Frank sighed worriedly, then turned to look at Monaco's starting lineup, "Let's see, Monaco's head coach Didier Deschamps What kind of lineup did you make?"

Maybe it was because it took too long to list in Deportivo, the players on the field had already entered the field, and the two teams were about to sing the team anthem. When Frank saw this scene, he immediately lowered his head and began to read Monaco's starting list: "Goalkeeper Roma, defenders Maicon, Squillacci, Give, Modesto; midfielders Placiel, Diego Perez, Farnerud, Lacombe; forwards Saviola, Caron ...Hey, these two teams are going to fight each other directly, good news for audience friends!"

I have to say that it is indeed good news. After all, everyone still prefers to watch games that are full of energy and come and go. Of course, this does not mean that Chelsea's bus formation is not good... But in terms of viewing, it is true. Should it be weaker?

"Both teams have brought out their strongest lineups. I'm very curious about what Deportivo will do today..." Frank sighed, "Ligue [-] is not a vegetarian. To be honest, if you attack against each other, Whoever is injured on the field will affect Deportivo's next game."

Deportivo's next game is against Bilbao in the Copa del Rey. The team's style of play is also aggressive, and then it is against Villarreal in the league. It can be said that it is not a good thing. The terrifying schedule of the three games has arrived, and now is the time to study the thickness of Deportivo's bench!

After the captains of the two teams finished picking sides on the field, the game officially started. Obviously, Monaco has studied their opponent Deportivo very carefully. Everyone seems to know that Deportivo is now playing in the midfield, and the two The sidewalk is a bit weaker, so the Monaco players have been eager to move on the sidewalk.

After fumbling on the field for a while, when Monaco was defended back and forth into their own penalty area, they couldn't help but made a breakthrough on the right. Aimar was in charge of the right in this game, and his defense was so weak that it was almost one Just stab it!However, he still used his small body to squeeze people to the sideline and directly gave Monaco a throw-in.

Monaco seemed to have found a little confidence in this breakthrough. They mainly attacked the right side in the following time and played a good match in a row. Juan Sorin made clearances back and forth in the backcourt, and Monaco took advantage of the chaos to get a corner kick!

Fortunately, although Deportivo does not have anyone who is good at heading the ball, at least their goalkeeper is relatively good. Diego Lopez flew to save the ball, which made the Deportivo people They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the game had only lasted 5 minutes. Monaco coach Didier Deschamps stood near the sideline and watched the situation on the field at the beginning, but Juan was nowhere to be seen.

What about the Juan Dias people?

After Deportivo saved the corner kick, Deschamps slapped his knee regretfully. After all, everyone knows that if he can score a goal at this time, it will be very helpful for the subsequent games!

"What a pity." A strange voice suddenly came from beside him, Deschamps subconsciously nodded in response, but when he looked up, he was facing the open snack bag.

Deportivo's young coach Juan Dias showed him a very polite smile: "Do you want some?"

"...Actually, I've wanted to ask since the very beginning of the season." Frank looked at the two coaches on the screen, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Juan Diaz becoming Are you the endorser of some snacks, recommending his snacks everywhere?!"

And isn't this too rude, can you give someone a whole pack?Do you still have the nerve to give away the leftovers to others? !

Dean is very used to Frank's fans being black from the depths: "Descamps took a bag of something from Juan's snack bag... At this moment, Deportivo made a long pass to the right, It's a pity that Redondo's wonderful pass was not caught, Zagorakis' movement was not timely, and the offensive and defensive transitions of the two teams were very fast."

"Deportivo and Monaco are not very familiar with each other, and they are still groping for each other's tactics. Belleron's through ball! Aimar was offside, this goal is a pity."

Monaco defended very carefully. In fact, they also knew that Deportivo's lineup was aging, but so what?

Romario, Redondo, Belleron, Riquelme, Aimar, if these people use their personal abilities to assist or score goals, it is difficult to defend, and Deportivo's midfielder The pass is too casual - although there seems to be a bit of rigor in that casualness, but it has to be said that such a midfield pass is really difficult to guard against.

Juan stood on the edge of the court, squinting his eyes and watching the current situation on the court.

It’s not that he didn’t experience the Champions League when he was a player. It’s completely different from the league and the Copa del Rey here. The opponent and himself are not in the same system at all. There is no intersection between the players, and some of them have never even heard of their names. However, there has never been any scene of mercy or guilt on the court.

In the 10 minutes of the game, Zagorakis volleyed after receiving a pass from his teammate in the right front court. Unfortunately, it was higher than the crossbar. After 1 minute, Belleron passed the ball through the middle. Romario, however, Romario didn't seem to be in good shape this game. He volleyed directly from the left side of the penalty area. The ball hit the goal frame and was hugged tightly by the opponent's goalkeeper Roma.

No.15 minutes, Monaco's striker Saviola received a pass from Placiel and shot directly from the left side of the penalty area, which was blocked by Maniche.

Two minutes later, Belleron broke into the penalty area from the bottom line on the left and made a cross.

"Your La Coruña's accuracy doesn't seem to be very good today." Deschamps raised his eyebrows at the little coach beside him in a good mood. Juan turned his head to look at him with a smile, and then said softly: "Maybe There might be surprises."

surprise?What surprises can there be? Deschamps is most proud of Monaco's defense. They have Maicon, the future No. [-] defender in the world.

Look at Deportivo now, many chances to shoot, none of them succeeded!And every time they deviate from the goal frame, at least this also proves that Monaco's current policy is not wrong!

"Young man, don't be too proud of yourself." Deschamps warned kindly. After all, he also knows that there are very few capable young men in football nowadays. Even if they come to compete with him, but anyway, At least Juan Dias made them coaches see some other possibilities.

"Proud?" Juan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "Do you think I'm proud... Now I wonder if this is my home field."

There is a reason for Juan to sigh so much. This game is at the Riazor Stadium. Although this stadium is not big, the basic attendance rate is still very guaranteed, especially this game is the first game of the new Deportivo. In the Champions League, everyone is looking forward to Depor's performance.

However, now, the audience is only booing, not to the home team, not to the visiting team, but to the coach.

Not to mention anything else, Aimar has already been knocked down four or five times, and every time it seems that he fell very painfully, but the referee didn't deal a card even once, and the whole audience was about to riot.

Referee, do you know what a home game is, will it blow or call a penalty? !Won't let us come? ! !

And now, the shooting situation on the field is a little messy. Deportivo lacks enough vitality here. Clearly.

It's fine if you don't see clearly, but when you see clearly, everyone wants to cover their faces.

On the forum, someone directly complained: "Your group is really big-hearted. You can either bring the oldest or the youngest. This is a Champions League after all. Wouldn't it be good to bring some youngsters? "

Under many of the same complaints, an emperor of truth stood up and said: "With all due respect, most of the players in your group are already on the court in their prime years, and the rest of the players are basically on the main bench and substitutes." walk between."

...If you think about it this way, it seems to be the same!

"The shots from Monaco and my team were too messy. It seemed that basically everyone wanted to touch Yunqi in front of the goal. Fortunately, my team had better interception ability in the midfield, reliable defenders, and a A goalkeeper who defends seriously, otherwise he will die..."

It is indeed fatal.

Fernando Gago was looking forward to it off the court. Considering his age, he was actually not very suitable to play, but compared with the group of sixteen and seventeen-year-old children in Laco, he was not too young.

The teenager was thinking about whether he could play before the game started today, but he was a little shaken seeing the serious fighting on the field.

Considering his age, participating in such a scramble, he will fall down at the touch of a touch, and basically everyone sitting on the bench is like this, the only one with a little hope is Thiago Silva.

No. In the 308th minute, Andrade assisted and passed the ball directly to Aimar in front of the half. It's because he didn't sleep on the field, and a yellow card came directly after blowing the whistle.

Monaco's foul this time is also inevitable. If Pablo Aimar is not stopped, the clown may have broken into Monaco's penalty area at this moment. Maicon is on the other side at this time and cannot catch up at all, so many Sometimes, fouling is also an unconventional means.

When Juan was in Deportivo, he never advocated that any of them take the road of fouling. Although the old drivers basically knew how to prevent fouls and what to do, Juan still hoped that they would , unless you are forced to do so, don't make such a move.

——In other words, what Juan means is that although this matter is related to professional ethics, once you feel that you have been violated, you must protect yourself immediately. There is absolutely no objection to this.

Aimar suffered a little injury, he slowly jumped to the sidelines for treatment, Depor's team doctors were very efficient and immediately surrounded him, Juan stepped forward to check his condition, very worried: "Joker, if it doesn't work come down?"

Aimar smiled and shook his head with an ugly face. He is very used to this situation. After all, the style of play is really a flaw that he cannot change, so as long as he is on the court, basically every team will beat him. direction.

His passing and organization are very deadly, and his defense is not good. If you cripple him first, the game will be easier to play!

At least half of the teams think so, and this is the main reason why Aimar basically has three games in one game.

"Juan..." Allen called their head coach worriedly, and Juan looked back at him, pondering for a while.

"Alan, do you think we should try to strengthen a training?"

As soon as he heard about the strengthening training, Allen shivered first, but when he thought that he was not a player and didn't need to participate in those trainings, he felt relieved: "What training?"

"The game is fouled or fouled, how should we train the referee to ask for cards." Juan said this seriously, and then turned his head to continue watching the game on the field. Alan was directly caught by Lei Not light.

What kind of training is this, and there are still such trainings now? !

The game that was interrupted on the field restarted, Deportivo took a free kick, Juan Belleron stood in front of the ball, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, the Spaniard who has always been quiet does not mean He will not be angry, nor will he be excited, just like the last game, at this moment his eyes are burning with blazing fire.

It's done overnight!

"Gooooal!! Juan Belleron, our free kick master! He sent the ball directly into the goal! I feel that Deportivo's current scoring method seems to be mainly free kicks..."

In the 42nd minute of the game, Monaco defender Maicon fouled Juan Belleron, and Deportivo got a free kick on the right side, but the shot in front of the penalty area seemed a bit reluctant, and Juan Belleron made a cross in the penalty area. Directly cleared by the opposing defender.

Deportivo reorganized their offense and started a long pass policy. Aimar failed to control the ball at his feet on the right side of the penalty area and did not even get a corner kick.

The situation on the court was really serious. Both Gago and Thiago Silva couldn't sit still. The two looked at each other, and then stood up at the same time: "Coach!"

When Juan turned his head subconsciously, he saw two teenagers looking at him eagerly.

Deportivo needs one person to break the current situation. Undoubtedly, Gago is the best candidate. His midfield organization ability and forward attack are outstanding, and his physique is also good, but Thiago Silva's physique needs to be improved. Better, and older and calmer.

Juan raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, the halftime whistle blew, and he swallowed his words: "Go back to the locker room and talk about it."

The two teenagers returned to the locker room with a very anxious heart, but Juan looked very calm, and he was not dissatisfied with everyone's performance in the first half. In fact, he had already expected that this game would be difficult. Some look.

Deportivo's lineup is weak because of its lack of attack power and cannot put some pressure on the opposing defender, but it is absolutely stable defensively.

Juan paused after talking about everyone's performance in the first half, and then raised his eyebrows: "Aimar, come down and rest in the second half, don't let a small injury become a major injury, Laco can wait for you to get better, Gago Come on in the second half."

Just when Thiago Silva was still lost, Juan went on to say: "Capdevila also went off in the second half, Thiago Silva came on... the left wing came in, you can, I Good on you."

It doesn't mean anything that Juan replaced Capdevila on purpose, it's just that this person is really not used to going forward during the game, and he is relatively weak in attack, so Juan replaced him now, and he also I can only nod.

The substitution seems to have some miraculous effect. At the beginning of the second half, Monaco, who was inertial and wanted to play on the right, was directly beaten. Gago intercepted the ball on the right and passed it to Riquelme in the midfield. Bringing the ball into the front of Monaco's penalty area and passing the ball directly to Redondo, Redondo knocked back to Thiago Silva who was running wildly in the middle, the Brazilian passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area, and Zago was unmarked on the right wing Lakis pushed and broke the net.

"Zagorakis! A beautiful goal! La Coruña taught Monaco a profound lesson with his precise pass control! At the same time, it must be mentioned that this is the first time in the history of La Liga for a Greek player. First goal!!"

Juan was almost overwhelmed by the boys who rushed up from behind, but before he was overwhelmed, a big bear hug came in front of him, and NO.19 of La Coruña jumped at him with tears in his eyes Come over, the still not very fluent Spanish said intermittently: "Thank you... Coach, Juan... Thank you!"

Zagorakis came to Deportivo, and he knew how much heartache there was, but at least now, this goal told him that his efforts were not in vain!

He can score goals for the team! !

The game continued, and a foul by Maniche gave Monaco a free kick. Diego Lopez fought hard to defuse the opponent's shot, and the ball did not fly out of the touchline!

At this time, there seemed to be a person who had already ambushed and waited near the sideline. When the ball flew over, he directly shot a shocking long shot!

Everyone watched the ball go straight through Deportivo's half, bounced and landed on the outside of Monaco's penalty area.

At this moment, because of the free throw, Monaco's half is empty! !

Romario catches the ball! !

At this moment, the Brazilian lone wolf showed his most terrifying side. He still seemed to be leisurely, lifting his feet lightly, and the back of his feet hit the football.

The colorful elves flew towards the goal of Monaco with an indomitable momentum!The opponent's goalkeeper Roma has nothing to do with this alien visitor!

"Deportivo [-]-[-] Monaco!!!" Frank roared with all his strength, "Magic Deportivo, aren't they the same team as in the first half? big change?"

"The goal came too fast, I was a little caught off guard..." Dean stared blankly at the jubilant celebration on the court.

In fact, not only him, everyone was a little confused.

This goal is simply amazing...

Veterans still have their own pride!

However, after the start of the game, the referee seemed to be in a rut again. Monaco had possession of the ball. Deportivo de La Coruña intercepted the ball and ran away with the ball. Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack. Belleron made a cross in the penalty area. , Riquelme struggled to run, but was blown offside.

At this moment, no matter how good-tempered a person can be, Redondo squinted his eyes angrily and prepared to step forward. No one dared to walk away from him in this match. Avoiding him, this made him already accumulate a lot of anger in his heart, okay? !

Seeing how angry he was now, Belleron hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Calm down Fernando, calm down, at least we are leading now."

Redondo snorted coldly and patted Belleron's shoulder, took two deep breaths to calm his anger.

Juan, who was off the court, had a clear view of the situation on the court. At this time, the players of Deportivo were very angry. They were knocked down again and again, and the opponent had no cards. It's just nitpicking, is this really good?

Gago runs very actively on the field. The newcomer is full of energy, fast, and active in defense. He almost immediately attracts the attention of the enemy. His outstanding performance immediately attracted the attention of the Monaco side. .

When they played against Deportivo, the whole team had already done their homework. In Deportivo, there was no doubt about the superstar's personal strength. The only way they could think of to solve the problem was to use rough methods to obtain victory.

But fortunately, they didn't know much about Gago, and they thought that he could also kick directly, but they encountered a difficult problem on the spot. Redondo broke into the penalty area and passed the ball to Zagorakis. In front of him, the Greek faced the goalkeeper and the ball was blocked.

It was at this moment that Gago seized his opportunity. He directly raised his foot in a deadly arc. The football flew into the upper right corner of the goal while spinning. Roma could only watch helplessly as the football fell.

"The goal is scored!! Fernando Gago!! In the 5 minutes of playing, the Argentine teenager handed over the report card of a goal. I will give it a full score for the Champions League debut!!"

Compared to Frank's elation, Juan was a little worried: "Deportivo can shoot so easily with even a defensive midfielder. Do you really think this is a good thing?"

"Why is this not a good thing?!" Frank said unconvinced, "Deportivo is indeed lacking in offensive points now, especially when Romario is too lazy to run, so he seldom touches the ball. Zagorakis is still a little uncomfortable with the team, what will you do with Deportivo if you don't rise a bit later?"

And to get this treatment at home, there is no one in Deportivo.

Belleron took the ball again, and Redondo looked at the situation on the court and waved for the ball directly.

He couldn't bear it anymore, what's going on with the referees now? !

Belleron chose to give up his breakthrough without even thinking about it, and gave the ball to Redondo with one kick. After the Argentine midfielder got the ball, he directly broke into the penalty area.

boom!

Lei Dongdo felt a very bad breath suddenly coming from behind, and adjusted his movements in time. The next second, he only felt a pain in his calf, and he fell down directly.

There was an uproar in the audience, and all the Deportivo players huffed and surrounded them. For the first time on the field, Bellerón lost his face, turned around and went to the referee, and the others were responsible for the Monaco players. Separated from Redondo, lest someone take advantage of the chaos and continue to make trouble.

The referee came over, and on Redondo's white socks, a shoe print was clearly visible on the calf. The referee bowed his head and pondered for a while, and called the opponent's defender to come. He stretched out his hand and received a yellow card.

"What?! There is only one yellow card?!" Frank jumped up, "What does this mean? Hey, is the referee's head broken?!"

"Foul!! This is an extremely dangerous action!! It's only a yellow card!? And the Monaco team didn't get a card for the dangerous action against Aimar before. The referee made a professional mistake. This is simply a big mistake. Shame, shame!"

"This is a very unfair game. If it weren't for the boos at the scene, I would have thought this was an away game for Deportivo." Dean was also very serious, and now everyone can feel it. Coruña is being targeted!

The game between the two sides started again, and the ball was on Deportivo's side. Now Deportivo has obviously become fiercer.

Are you here?

Okay, then let's head to head!Let's see who is better!

Juan Sorin waited for the defense to push forward at once. When he was carrying the ball, he slammed directly in front of the opponent's feet. The strong defense team knocked Monaco into pieces.

Especially Juan Sorin, originally he was just wearing it at the back of the team, waiting to defend, but now he has been released. When facing the Monaco players, he only hit people and even hit the ball. They didn't care about it, and chose the most positive conflict every time like a bull, directly messing up Monaco.

Monaco's pressure suddenly increased, but Deportivo's midfield retreat gave them more opportunities to get the ball. Although after some attempts, they finally came to only one conclusion-it was difficult to shoot.

Deportivo's goal was too far away.

Gago is doing what the attacking midfielder should do on the court. He has good physical strength, fast speed, takes both defenses into account, runs all over the court, and supports any place at any time. There is already that shadow, and at this moment he is also in the sequence of collision.

With the addition of Gago, the strength of the defense team suddenly increased. Sorin, Maniche and Andrade blocked the opponent's forward. Take it away, and at this moment, Maicon came out like a ghost, facing Gago with a sliding shovel.

At the critical moment, Gago picked the ball with his toes, and a long pass was made on the spot, and then fell directly on the grass with a bang.

Maicon immediately got up, opened his eyes innocently and spread his hands, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Foul!! Foul!! This is a nasty foul, Maicon shoveled someone behind the back, red card, definitely a red card!!!" Frank was so angry that he exploded.

"Deportivo suffered the most unfair treatment in this game. Why is this? Obviously this game is La Coruña's home game, isn't it?!"

Dean also took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Let's see what the referee says."

The referee stepped forward to take a look, and then put the whistle in his mouth.
