Chapter 248 Revenge of La Coruña

Last season, Union Berlin fell into the sand in the Champions League, but this season they have experienced a lot of trouble.Although Edward did not give Bosque any death orders, Bosque also knew that Union Berlin's ambition was mainly in the Champions League.

Union Berlin has been assigned to Group A in the UEFA Champions League this season, because they won the UEFA Cup and last season's Champions League results are not bad. Union Berlin is in the third tier, mainly because Union Berlin has only participated in two of the last five years. In the European competition, so the points can only be ranked first in the third tier. As long as they are not out of the Champions League this year, Union Berlin can properly skip the next season and become the first seeded team next season.

The group assigned by UEFA to Union Berlin is very interesting. The first seeded team in Group A is Deportivo, then Liverpool, the third seed Union Berlin, and finally Olympiacos.If there is no trick in this grouping, it will be hell. What UEFA likes most is to create topics. Last season, Super Deportivo eliminated Union Berlin under unfavorable circumstances, which made many fans feel sorry. A person's brain is labeled as a dog's brain?

This grouping has the players and fans of Union Berlin feeling excited, and they have already started to move when the game is about to come.

The first round of the group stage was to play against Deportivo at home. The whole of Berlin was restless a few weeks in advance. After Edward returned to Berlin, he found that the whole city had changed.

Even those buildings left over from World War II can find elements related to the Union of Berlin, and the billboards on the roadside were temporarily replaced by the Berlin City Hall with themes related to the Union of Berlin.

Now Union Berlin is the face of the city. In the past, the name of the city of Berlin was much bigger than the two teams, but now Union Berlin has gone out of the circle. Not only the influence in the football field is amazing, but even among non-fans. fame.Edward is too good at making things happen. Before the American media investigated Germany, 20.00% of the people in the United States had heard the name of Union Berlin. This is a great thing in the football desert. If it is among those Italian or Mexican immigrants , this ratio will be as high as more than 90.00%. Real Madrid and Manchester United are not so well-known. This is the benefit of making movies and falling in love with female stars. But abruptly let almost one-third of Americans know their names.

This popularity goes beyond football.

For this game, there are fans in the football desert like the United States who bought tickets for the UEFA Champions League and came to Berlin. This incident surprised many media.

They had never seen a crowd of American fans watching a football game together before.

"I liked Union Berlin better before. After watching the movie, I found out that someone organized a Union Berlin fan club, so I joined it." A fan from the United States said.

"I didn't like football before, but I was a fan of Leonardo. After watching the movie, I became interested in football. I watched a few Union Berlin games and found that the rules of football are not so complicated." The woman The fans said: "Especially, Robin is so handsome!"

This is a Van Persie fan.

"I only became interested in football after watching the movie. Union Berlin is so cool. They were excluded by the whole of Germany, but they managed to win the championship!"

"..."

The reasons for these fans are various, but they are basically related to Edward's propaganda.

This incident also made the fans of Union Berlin feel happy, which shows that Union Berlin has gone out of Europe and rushed to the world.The United States is still very important in Europe. They like the views of the United States. It is very interesting to have American fans watching the game.

The fan organization took the initiative to come to the door, ready to take them with the plan to defend the home court.

----------

"I come, I see, I conquer……"

Bosque couldn't let go of the huge slogan made of flaps by the fans at home for a long time, and the pressure in his heart increased a lot.Of course he knew about Union Berlin overturning on Laco last season.

So he put a lot of effort into preparing for today's competition.

As a Spaniard, he still knows Deportivo well. In the summer, Deportivo continued to lose blood, but their roots were still there. Bosque was afraid that the players would lose Jingzhou carelessly, so he repeatedly emphasized the importance of the game.

In fact, the players have been waiting for a long time.

revenge!

The first game of the Champions League in the new season!
In any case, this game must never be lost.

With the experience of being eliminated last time, the tactics class analyzed Deportivo's playing style this season, and everyone listened very carefully.

Boas made a lot of arrangements for this game.

It is of great significance to Deportivo. The opponent's strength has dropped a lot compared to last season. There is no way to compare with Union Berlin. This game is a key game for him to prove himself. I hope to increase the possibility of winning and become sure!

So he specially arranged for De Jong to defend Tristan closely in the central midfielder position. Modric's position is also a central midfielder, but the position is higher than that of De Jong, and Harvey Alonso is dragged behind. .

When attacking, Modric will exist as an attacking midfielder, and when defending, he will become a central midfielder to participate in the defense. His responsibility is mainly from the front of the opponent's penalty area to the back of the center circle. If it is too dangerous, he needs to return The defense is deeper, but this situation is very difficult to happen.

He also gave up a lot of thought on the choice of striker.

The front trident he arranged today is Messi, Ronaldinho and Robben. The main reason for this is to use Messi's breakthrough ability to disrupt the opponent and cover the two sides.

Not only do I want to win, I want a big win!
After the start of the game, Deportivo still used the ball-based tactic, but the quality of their passing has declined visibly compared to last season.The departure of core players has had a considerable impact on Depor.

De Jong seized the opportunity to steal the ball and gave it to Maicon on the right. Maicon made an accelerated kill and crossed halftime. He cooperated with Modric and then sent a long oblique pass to the left. Ronaldinho stopped the ball and crossed immediately. , and ran into the restricted area at the same time.

Modric's through ball is just right.

After receiving the ball, Messi passed a defender with two short steps, successfully attracted Deportivo's defensive attention, and then immediately passed the ball to the left, and Ronaldinho, who cut inside, kicked up.

This powerful shot violently broke through the defense of the Deportivo goalkeeper and flew into the goal.

Union Berlin scored in less than a minute.

"Good pass, Leo!" Ronaldinho ran into the penalty area and said with his arms around Messi's neck.

Messi is not used to this kind of intimate action, and the one in front of him rubbed the back of his head and smirked.

Bosque laughed and applauded on the sidelines, the progress of the game was smoother than he thought.

------

Putting Messi on the front line today is also a brand new attempt.It seems that the effect is not bad now, but it may not be the best position to let him attract the opponent's firepower in front. Now Messi's best position is probably the midfielder or right winger.

But the starting candidate for the right winger is Robben. Robben is also a very good player, and his offensive ability is not worse than Messi's. His offense is simple and rough but very effective.It is also impossible for Posque to substitute or go to other positions for Messi and Robben. Robben made a sharp breakthrough on the right. Those shots are the most efficient means of attack in European football.

Then Messi can only play the position of the attacking midfielder, but the position of the attacking midfielder will suppress Mondric's performance to a certain extent. Bosque may only think about it like this.For some time to come, Messi should appear in Union Berlin's starting lineup as a midfielder.

After the re-kick-off, La Crugna was a lot more careful, and their passing speed was also speeding up, but after the passing speed increased, mistakes inevitably increased.

It didn't take long for Xabi Alonso to see his chance and play a long ball from the back.His pass is worthy of precise guidance, and he accurately found Robben on the right.

This time the opponent's defensive player was not pressing hard. Robben stopped the ball slightly, looked at the distance of his teammates, and hit the penalty area with his left shoe. After Messi took the ball, he once again showed his magical dribbling ability. Right foot slow motion, right foot left foot slow motion replay.

Just like this three times, five divisions and two shakings, he passed the opponent's two central defenders and faced the goalkeeper alone.

"Single knife!!!"

Edward watched this scene excitedly.

I have to say that Messi makes him feel really fragrant now, and maybe no one can escape the law of real fragrance.

But when faced with this opportunity, Messi lost his composure, his shot was a bit sloppy, and he went straight to the bottom line again.

At this time, a figure wearing a red jersey rushed into the penalty area with lightning speed, and just when he was about to go out of bounds, he saved the ball back and launched another attack with a round pass. The quality of Robben's pass was very, very high. , Ronaldinho was very comfortable when he volleyed the ball from the left, and he could kick the ball with just a lift of his foot.

The shot was so loud that even the fans sitting above the stands seemed to hear it, and he kicked the ball and made a sound.

That is, 0.7 seconds later, the ball flew into Deportivo's goal again.

Ronaldinho is in a hot state today, and this performance made the fans of Union Berlin once again sing the song they wrote for Ronaldinho.

"There is only one Ronaldo in the world, there is only one Ronaldo in the world, he is from Portugal, he is handsome, he is the future Mr Ballon d'Or and our most important player..."

Both Messi and Robben are very envious of Robben. Although he also has his own songs, he is not as popular as Ronaldinho, and Messi also wants to enjoy this kind of treatment praised by fans.

When the goal was scored, Ronaldinho said to Robben, "I have already led you a lot in the Golden Ball this season, almost twice as much as you. I feel that you have no chance to compete with me. If If you admit that I am better than you, I will not say such things again, how about it?"

Robben pouted and raised his middle finger at him.

It is impossible for Robben to concede defeat, the competition between him and Ronaldinho is still going on.

Many players in the team bought houses in Berlin, because the villa complex developed by Hoffman Football City has not yet been completed, but even so, the two friends Ronaldinho and Robben still live in the dormitory.

They like this atmosphere of competition in every moment of life.How could it be possible for Robben to admit defeat in this situation?

And the season has just started, Robben secretly felt ruthless, and decided to catch up with Ronaldinho head-on.

These two goals have already caught Deportivo. They know that there is a gap between their strength and Union Berlin. However, the reversal of Union Berlin last season made them feel lucky. Now the two goals have made them completely give up their previous dreams. Back to reality.

They probably have no chance of winning this game.

Fortunately, the players of Deportivo have already made some psychological preparations, and even the meritorious coach has left the team.

So after this kick-off, they started to defend without any psychological burden.

Bosque was very shocked. He knew La Coruna very well. He didn't expect that when facing Union Berlin, he would put down his dignity and put on a posture that he didn't want to attack and defend desperately.You must know that La Crugna will confront Real Madrid and Barcelona when they face them.

This also shows how strong the deterrent force of Union Berlin is. Bosque felt in his heart that this really deserves to be the team with the strongest offensive firepower in Europe.

Under the attention of the fans, Union Berlin's offense was one wave after another. At this time, La Crugna found a chance to counterattack in adversity.

Their defender chose a long pass with a big foot, but this simple and direct way of kicking had a very good effect.

His pass found the striker Christian. This time, Christian entered the penalty area faster than usual. As soon as he entered the penalty area, he shot a cold arrow. The ball broke the goal of Union Berlin.

Edward was a little disappointed, but he didn't feel too harsh in his heart, but the players seemed to be insulted.

There is no way, because today is their revenge battle. The players wanted to have a brilliant victory, but the opponent's goal made their revenge battle less likely to be perfect.

The Union Berlin players immediately showed their best form. If it is the final, it may be just like this.

Soon they suppressed Deportivo again with a powerful offense, not only that, but the opponent's counterattack was also impossible to display under their high position.

However, the score was still 2:1 at the end of the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Posque replaced De Jong with Van Persie, and Messi returned to the forward position.Union Berlin has become a 451 single midfielder formation.

This formation is the most suitable formation for Union Berlin now.It's no use, playing in the midfielder position is much better than in the forward position. He needs someone to cover in front, and Van Persie's technical ability is also quite good, and he can perfectly cooperate with anyone in the frontcourt.

Just one substitution completely activated Berlin Union's frontcourt attack combination.

Van Persie was like a lucky charm, allowing goals to come one after another.

In the 67th minute, the cooperation of Union Berlin's quick counterattack was amazing.It shows that Modric dribbled the ball through the midfield and then sent a pass. Messi took the ball with just a soup ball and passed the opponent's midfielder. He immediately made a 2-to-1 cooperation with Ronaldinho. The ball hit the penalty area, and the cooperation between Van Persie and Robben was even more surprising.

Van Persie ran over to catch the ball at the first time, but if he rushed through the center, his left foot could not be used at all, and the Dutch forward jumped over the ball very cleverly, which not only gave Robben a chance to borrow the ball, but also swayed away. Robben hit the ball directly and broke the goal of Deportivo.

Five minutes later, Union Berlin scored again, this time by Modric.

It was still a complicated cooperation in the frontcourt, but Deportivo's goalkeeper saved Union Berlin's shots twice in a row in this defense.When Messi was asked to play again, he chose an inverted triangle to pass back. Modric, who was inserted near the penalty area, shot directly at the ball and smashed the opponent's goal with a long-range shot with ten miles.

The score of 4:1 is not over yet. When the game is approaching halftime, Union Berlin scored again. Xavi Alonso's foot found Nestanesta's header and Maicon inserted on the right. A volley rewrites the score.

This battle of revenge finally had a good result.
