Chapter 35 - Laco's New Captain

Vazquez's eyes turned around on everyone, the substitutes were directly eliminated, and the hot-tempered ones were also eliminated, while Vazquez's eyes wandered around Clemens for a while, and suddenly looked at Rich, He took out the captain's armband directly from his pocket, and stuffed it into Rich's hand.

Rich was a little surprised. He is now 33 years old. As a striker, he is not too young. At the end of this season, he will renew his contract with the team for another season at most, and he will return to his hometown France to accompany him in the team. family.Now Vazquez handed over the captain's armband to him, leaving Ricky in a daze.

Vazquez has his own considerations. Rich has no right to speak in the locker room. He has always been a good guy. After all, half of Deportivo's players are Spanish and half Portuguese. As a foreign player from other than these two countries, there is often no time to express an opinion.However, Rich has played football for a long time, and has been in many teams. He knows the rules and unspoken rules on the court very clearly.Vazquez also selected him because of Rich's behavior in holding Clemens in the previous game against Atletico Madrid.

Vazquez was sure that if Nelson was next to Clemens at that time, not only would he not stop him, but he would help Clemens hit him with a fist, and then Deportivo would appear two times. A red card, let alone the knockout round of the Copa del Rey in the next round, maybe a fine can make the team cry.

Vazquez knew these reasons in his heart, but he didn't say it out. Instead, he said to Rich with a serious face: "In the future, you will be the third captain of the team. During the period when Manuel and Alan Subia were injured Time, you have to take on the responsibility of the team leader, Rich, you tell me, can you do it?"

Rich laughed straight away when he heard this, stuffed the captain's armband into his pants pocket, and said loudly, "It's okay, boss."

"Okay, let's take them to training." Vazquez waved his hand, with a familiar smile on his face.

Rich waved his hand: "Let's go! Follow me and run in circles! Let's talk about it first, I will kick whoever falls behind!"

"Captain, kick people when you take office!"

"The captain's treat! Just eating your salary for a week is not much at all!"

"...Let's go! That kid Nelson sneaked away!"

Rich's good popularity in the locker room played a role, and everyone accepted Rich's appointment as the third captain amidst laughter.But when Rich was about to keep up with the team, he was grabbed by Vazquez.

The old coach looked at the players and ran away laughing at each other, and then said to Ricky: "Pay more attention to Clemens in the future, it doesn't matter if you are strict, teach him more things on the court, don't be so impulsive."

Rich quickly understood what Vazquez meant.

The future captain Vazquez is really optimistic about is Clemens. If it wasn't for the young man who couldn't hold back things this time, he might not have the captain's armband at all.

But Rich doesn't feel jealous, after all, he doesn't have a household registration book.

Not only the Premier League has a household registration book, but Spain also has it.

Whether it is the team or the media, the attitude towards Spanish local players is completely different from the attitude towards foreign rescuers.Just like Costa hurt Manuel maliciously, because Manuel is a Spanish player, even the official website of Atlético de Madrid did not have any redundant rebuttals, only saying that the foul was not malicious, and any more words would be fine. dare not say.

Although Clemens is young, Rich has already seen the potential of a superstar. This is a future national team who has come out of the Deportivo youth team. It is acceptable for Vazquez to value him.Besides, Rich is no longer young, and he is not so competitive, so he naturally agreed.

Vazquez patted Ricky on the shoulder and told him to catch up to his teammates, and heaved a sigh of relief.The choice of captain can be determined peacefully because there are no ball bullies and stars in the Deportivo team. This may be the benefit of the small team.

For any team with a little bit of influence, it will become very difficult to solve the problem so peacefully.

"Has Sevilla arrived in the next round of the league?" Vazquez asked Fernandez.

Fernandez nodded, then gave Vazquez a file.

Although the starting lineup has not been announced, just looking at the players of Sevilla playing against Deportivo can roughly guess the tactics the opponent wants to do. Vazquez has been troubled for a while in the game, but now, even Real Madrid has played, Vazquez unconsciously has a sense of calmness.

Sevilla is now ranked No.9 in the La Liga standings, neither high nor low. It can be seen from their data that the goal difference is 0, which means that the goals they scored and the Conceded the same number of goals, enough to see the balance of offense and defense.

Vazquez also took a second look at their goalkeeper.

Diego Lopez, the goalkeeper of the Yellow Submarine Villarreal last season, with Villarreal relegated, Lopez signed with the new club Sevilla and helped Sevilla In many games, he tried his best to keep the city goal.

In this away game, Sevilla did not bring their chief goalkeeper Palop, but brought Diego Lopez, obviously to give the goalkeeper from the submarine a starting chance.

The opponent has a solid defense and a stable goalkeeper, while his own team has lost a general in the defense. Vazquez hesitated for a while, but couldn't decide on the candidate for the goalkeeper position.

There is no doubt that Clemens has established a firm foothold in Deportivo and has also received the support of players and fans. His ability is beyond doubt.But it is also inappropriate to keep Alan Subia on the bench.Maybe this one needs a rotation?Vazquez hesitated.

He continued to stand on the field and supervise the players' training, but Vazquez received a text message with only a short sentence:

As long as you can get the win, write the player names you want and I'll take care of it. - Lendoiro

Victory will bring back the players he wants.

Vazquez understood that the only reason for Chairman Rendoiro to make up his mind to spend money was to exchange the team's steady stream of victories, so he finally decided: "This time Clemens will start."

Fernandis felt sorry for Alan Subia in his heart, but still nodded in favor of the suggestion.

After all, no one in Deportivo's midfield is more reliable than Clemens.

===

In the No.15 round of the league, Deportivo de La Coruña welcomes the challenge of Sevilla at home.

At the pre-match press conference, Vazquez brought the new captain Rich and Clemens to attend.

For Rich, the local media in Deportivo are no strangers, but the tall striker from France is known to other media because he silently elbowed Costa in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. all of a sudden.

Although the referee did not see Rich's little move, the camera recorded it truthfully and was captured by many netizens. It is really funny that Costa's face twisted the moment he was hit hahahahahaha!

Now that Rich has become the team's third captain, he will naturally serve as the field captain for a period of time when both the first and second captains are unable to play.This time I was brought to the pre-match press conference by Vazquez in the hope that Rich could officially show his face and told all the media that this Frenchman is now the third captain of Deportivo and can represent Deportivo in the future Ya made a speech.

The media is very interested in this old-fashioned Frenchman, and Clemens on the side can attract attention even if he doesn't speak. Even if the handsome young player just sits quietly, the cameraman can unconsciously chase him In the past, when a press conference was held in full swing, the Sevilla coach Michel, who came from afar, was naturally ignored.

This is Michel's second season in charge of Sevilla. He set a goal at the beginning of the season, at least to let the team win a European qualification. As a former player of Real Madrid, Michel As a player, he has made outstanding achievements and is known as one of the "Five Eagles" of Real Madrid. As a head coach, he also has extraordinary pride. The brilliance of his player career obviously made Michelle very interested in taking up the pointer to coach the team. Comes with a lot of confidence.

But now, Michelle has been collectively ignored by the media. He has no expression on his face. He looks calm and smiling, but he is already full of dissatisfaction with La Coruña.

So, when Michelle was finally asked a question, Michelle smiled and said in a leisurely tone: "Sevilla's goal is to qualify for the European War this season, and it is our goal to get all three points." Target."

Yo, it's crazy.

The media sensed the news very sensitively, and then the press conference changed direction, and they all started to turn their microphones on Michelle.

Michelle's answer is also a one-by-one match.

"Thoughts on Deportivo? No thoughts, we will treat each opponent fairly." Just look down on you and hit me.

"A draw? No, a draw won't satisfy me. What I need is a victory." One point is not rare, and three points are powerful.

"Some players' magical performance is only temporary. A strong attacker will not be afraid of a goal that is stupidly blocked. Are their goals diamonds?" Yes, it is you, the blond boy. It's up to you to continue not to lose the ball.

Clemens was shot for no reason, and he looked at Michelle, a little speechless.

Does the Sevilla manager like to attack indiscriminately?He obviously sat here and hasn't said a word until now, so why was he dragged to lie on the gun.

The reporter looked directly at Clemens with shining eyes, and asked aloud, "Thomas, what do you think of Coach Michel's words?"

Clemens stopped playing with the mineral water bottle, glanced at the reporter, and said indifferently, "I have no opinion."

The reporter was a little confused. After the game against Atletico Madrid, Clemens spoke out a lot of exciting topics like a news machine. Why is it misfired now?Don't be shy, handsome guy, how can I make it up if you don't talk... no, how can I write it?

But Clemens' words obviously didn't end: "But for Deportivo's goals, I can guarantee that they are iron and not diamonds. If Coach Michel has any doubts, he can check it before the game." Reimens pushed the microphone away, apparently not planning to say anything more.

The reporters of the various newspaper offices below all had bright eyes.

right!That's what it feels like!Go on, don't stop!The lonely football world depends on you to save Clemens!

Many reporters have already thought of the title of the news:

"Deportivo goalkeeper dissatisfied with Michel: My performance is beyond doubt"

"Diamond Goal?Deportivo's goal material questioned"

"Before the game, Clemens is not afraid of the challenge"

If Manuel encountered this situation, his first reaction would definitely be to defend what Clemens said.It's a pity that Rich is not Manuel. The new French captain has the humor and romance of the French as well as the violent temper of the French, so he added: "I will cooperate with Coach Michel to check the goal. When we go back to Sevilla away, we will also carefully check the material of Sevilla's goal."

Don't be cowardly, just do it!Afraid of you!

Rich's answer was very domineering, and those Depor players who eavesdropped in the aisles on both sides of the press conference felt very relieved, and they liked the new captain even more.Only Vazquez pinched his nose helplessly, is it too late to regret replacing him now?

Michelle was choked by them and became more and more angry. Vazquez became a peacemaker and began to seriously analyze the situation between the enemy and the enemy. He expressed his loyalty to himself and cheered for the team, but in fact he just passed it by without saying anything.

The pre-match press conference also ended successfully because of Vazquez's time-delaying tactics. Michelle strode away directly, and Vazquez didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that the opening of the game must be difficult.

In fact, as Vazquez thought, in the first 10 minutes of the game, Sevilla's high pressure made Deportivo feel out of breath.

In the past, Deportivo had always liked to give the opponent a big blow at the beginning of the game, and now when the situation is turned upside down, not only the players on the field are a little uncomfortable, but even the Deportivo fans in the stands of the Lizoya Stadium feel that Some surprises.

This is their home court, and the people of La Coruña are fearless, how can they let them turn their backs on customers to contain us?

Are you going to lose again?

The Deportivo fans cheered loudly, just to help the team cheer, and to create psychological pressure on Sevilla.

However, the players on the field were not as anxious as the fans. On the contrary, many people looked at Clemens intentionally or unintentionally, with a bit of a look on their faces.

The reason is that just now in the locker room, Vazquez asked Clemens after setting up the tactics: "Thomas, I hope you can continue to participate in the defensive system of the backcourt in this game."

Clemens has his own thoughts on this: "Sir, I will not leave the penalty area for a while after the opening."

This sentence is not difficult to understand. Sevilla will definitely bombard indiscriminately after the opening game, and will not choose to attack with any reservations. Clemens probably has no time to participate in the overall defense protection.

Vazquez has this idea. After all, Michel's attitude makes people doubt whether the head coach is angry with his two players, but according to the card data, Sevilla With both offense and defense, it is not a team that will attack like crazy.However, Vazquez fully understood and trusted Clemens' thoughts: "It depends on the situation, Thomas, everything depends on your judgment at that time."

Now that Clemens' prediction was successful, everyone was looking at him, but Clemens stood there calmly, looking at Coach Michel on the sidelines.

Sevilla may be a good opponent, but there is still a gap compared to the top giants. The Deportivo players who once won the Madrid duo are very calm at the moment. Although they played a bit difficult, they did not encounter any problems. .

On the other hand, Sevilla is playing well now, but it does not pose any pressure on Clemens.

I have to say that Deportivo has been a devil's schedule recently. Starting from the match against Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Celta Vigo, Mallorca, Atletico Madrid, there are several difficult bones in it, and except for the match against In addition to Atletico Madrid's league defeat, Deportivo has either won or tied, with a remarkable record, and now it has climbed to the middle of the league, getting farther and farther away from the relegation zone.

And the most effective thing in these few games is to stabilize Deportivo's dismissal.

Hitting high and throwing long passes, this kind of tactic that was originally very common in the Premier League team was played by Deportivo.

However, the defensive players who have been training long pass skills with Clemens have not had any chance to perform. The melee in the midfield continued until 10 minutes after the opening. Shovel, did not touch the ball but shoveled Sevilla's striker Reyes, turned his back on his back, rolled on the ground several times before stopping.

Pizzy became nervous for a moment. Although the foul was outside the penalty area, it was only a moment. Reyes rolled too far and rolled directly into the penalty area.

If the penalty is a foul in the penalty area, it is a penalty!

Fortunately, the referee saw it very clearly, and the line referee was standing not far away. There was a bit of performance in these rolling balls, but the referee still gave Pizi a yellow card and awarded A free kick to Sevilla.

"In the 11th minute of the game, a Deportivo player fouled with a shovel, and Sevilla got a free kick in an excellent position! This position is very comfortable for the striker, it is about three meters in front of the penalty area, as long as you can Finding a good angle is an excellent opportunity to score. Oh, it seems that Reyes, the hero who created this free kick, is going to take the penalty himself." Sesam, who commented on the game, his eyes lit up. To be honest, The commentator has commented on many Deportivo games. From the league to the Copa del Rey, Sessam feels that he and Deportivo have always had a special fate.What impressed Sesam the most was Clemens' bravery, so he now has a kind of hope.

Looking forward to watching this little player concede a goal, and also looking forward to Clemens being able to break the record of not conceding a goal. This kind of contradiction makes Sesam always very excited.

This kind of excitement is just from the perspective of a bystander, which is not a good thing for fans.

They held their breath nervously, looked at Clemens, and prayed in their hearts.When Reyes stood behind the ball, the home team booed loudly to interfere with Reyes' judgment.

Reyes let out a long sigh of relief, then raised his eyes and looked at the wall of people in front of him.

Run up, pause suddenly, and then kick the ball vigorously!

The wall didn't jump when he paused, but after Reyes kicked the ball.Clemens could see clearly, the ball was spinning, and it was clearly heading towards the upper right corner of the goal!

He quickly crossed a few steps to the right, ready to reach out to block the ball, but he couldn't wait for the ball to arrive.

Clemens raised his head in confusion, and saw a high jumper fell to the ground covering his face, looking very painful, while the ball bounced and rolled aside, Reyes was already Going to rush over!

Clemens naturally let him succeed even more, he stepped forward and picked up the ball firmly in his arms, then slightly bent his knees to stand firm, and pointed his shoulder at Reyer who was rushing forward Reyes, who couldn't hold back his feet, directly hit Clemens. Because of the reaction force, he sat directly on the grass, and the body that hit Clemens' shoulder was painful.

God, isn't this Deportivo goalie all meatless and made of iron?Why is your body so hard!

Thomas - just can't eat fat - Clemens looked around and saw Nelson in the frontcourt waving.It's such a good opportunity, as long as Clemens passes the ball it's fine.But Clemens hesitated for a moment, looked at the player who was lying on the ground covering his face, and directly sent a long pass, but it was not directed at Nelson, but at the bench outside the field.

Vazquez was very excited to signal the players to press on, but he didn't pay attention to the movement on Clemens' side, nor did he notice the ball flying straight towards him.

So, amidst the shouts of the bench players, Vazquez turned his head to look in doubt, and was hit directly on the head by the flying ball.

The poor head coach fell to the ground clutching his head, but the referee blew his whistle, and stretched out his hand to signal Depor's team doctor to enter the field. The one who fell was their captain Rich, with a red scar on one of his hands. blood.

But the team doctor had a hard time.

The head coach and the players fell together. We have never encountered this kind of situation before. Who should we save first?

In the end, Fernandez stood up, pushed the team doctor in, and then took out an ice pack and pressed it on the old coach's forehead, which froze Vazquez so much that he was completely awake.

It hurts to be hit by a ball, but it only hurts for a while, and there is no other wound except for a red mark.

Now Vazquez is most concerned about the situation on the field: "Who is injured on the field?"

Fernandez said anxiously: "Ricky, he just jumped up and blocked Reyes' shot when he was lining up the wall, but it looks like he was injured."

"How can you still be injured by sending a gun?" Vazquez frowned.

Fernandez coughed twice: "The part where he blocks the ball is not very good."

"Where did you block it?"

"The face, oh, and the nose, poor Richie."
