football's most handsome

"Gooooal! Hat trick! Morientes scored his third goal of the game, helping Deportivo to increase the score advantage! Deportivo's performance in the second half was obviously better. , the attack was quick and decisive, the performance of the key players was unforgettable, Quaresma's extraordinary breakthrough and cross, the action was extremely gorgeous, will the second Cristiano Ronaldo be born?"

Morientes had just arrived and didn't know Depco's unwritten rules. He rushed to the sidelines and wanted to hug Juan, but his teammates cut him off, and he was thrown to the ground by his teammates. Even the players on the bench couldn't help rushing over, playing Arhats over there.

Juan looked at their situation and couldn't help but sighed.

Fortunately, he didn't pass by, otherwise, what should I do if he was crushed to death?

In the final period of the game, Deportivo was really unable to attack. It didn't mean that the ball couldn't pass the frontcourt, but that the players couldn't maintain a fast-paced high-speed running to catch the ball.

Juan had already discovered in the middle of the field. After adopting such a tactic, Deportivo's physical strength was very high, but facing a team like Arsenal, to be honest, apart from this style of play, He couldn't find another way.

Now that the game is approaching the final time, Juan thought about the situation on the court.

Deportivo has limited physical strength here.

The full-backs Andrade and Capdevila were exhausted and out of breath. The two of them frequently stepped in when the team was strong in offense and defense. The intensity of running straight up and down was astonishing. I am still running around desperately, and it is also very hard...

Juan returned to the coach's bench and took a sip of water. At the same time, he subconsciously looked to see if there were any players who could be replaced. As a result, he was almost blinded as soon as he turned his eyes.

—David Lewis was staring at him with his eyes shining like a puppy begging for food.

The Depor coach suddenly realized something. He squinted his eyes and looked back at the Brazilian teenager, then deliberately shifted his gaze to Thiago Silva on the side.

Pompons immediately weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Thiago Candide Silva immediately noticed that the expression of Pompons beside him was not right, and he immediately turned his head and patted the kid's furry head with concern: "What's wrong? Uncomfortable?"

Pompons looked at him with a mournful face, and buried his head in his arms sullenly: "It's nothing..."

Anyway, no matter in terms of age or experience, Thiago Silva is more suitable than him to change at this time, so he can only quietly cover his face and squat down depressed .

"Thiago."

Sure enough, Juan called Thiago's name, and the Brazilian immediately stood up in response.

"Take the thing beside you, too."

That thing beside me?

But there is nothing next to him?

Could it be...

Thiago blinked and looked back, just in time to meet the eyes of Pompons who raised his head with a blank face.

"..."

"Oh! Deportivo made a substitution!" Frank looked down, "Thiago Silva replaced Ricardo Quaresma, David Luiz replaced Fernando Morientes... ...fuck, Juan Diaz admits to being cowardly?!"

"Where did you say that you admit it?" Dean looked helpless, "You can tell at a glance that Arsenal will counterattack crazily later, keeping Quaresma and Morientes as targets on the field? Don't forget, No matter how much Arsenal pays attention to skills and technology, it is still a Premier League team. If it insists on fighting, Deportivo's strikers may not be able to hold it."

"You make a lot of sense..." Frank nodded, "It feels like Arsenal players are going crazy right now."

"It's more than that, I think Wenger is going crazy." Dean was a little helpless.

Isn't it crazy?The effect of Arsenal's strong play in the middle is very poor. With Redondo, Gago and others guarding the defense in the middle, and Riquelme in front takes the initiative to retreat, Deportivo is not worried at all about Arsenal. Attack from the middle.

In such a dense defensive area, it is difficult for even Bergkamp and Henry to make a fuss.

However, under Arsene Wenger's command, Bergkamp and Henry hit the center in unison, and Vieira also added an assist to participate in the coordination and organization of the attack in the center. In this way, there will be more people in the center No, there is no room for passing and cutting moves.

Arsenal made frequent mistakes. After all, they were not suitable for the midfield route. Vieira's through kick was directly cut off by Gago. Gago passed the ball diagonally to the unmarked Van Persie on the right.

After receiving the ball, the Dutchman went over the top to recruit his senior compatriots. Bergkamp succeeded in turning offside in an instant. However, the ball sent by Van Persie was not very powerful, and there was Kapude beside him. Villa have been disruptors, so he didn't stop the ball quickly, the football bounced on his instep, and it landed a little far away.

I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune. When Bergkamp received the ball, he was on the edge of the small penalty area. Bergkamp sent the ball directly to Deportivo's goal. The ball is in his arms.

But things didn't get any better. Arsenal's two full-backs also stepped forward to attack at this time. Campbell dribbled the ball all the way forward from the wing, and together with Vieira and Freddie Ljungberg, they hit a wall to pass. Redondo, Ljungberg dribbled the ball from the side, and made a cross directly at a position about 45° from the goal without waiting for Thiago Silva or David Luiz to come up to press.

David Luiz made a header with his height to clear the siege, but the landing point was snatched by Arsenal. Henry's long shot was blocked by Diego Lopez. The football did not go far and was still in the penalty area. Van Persie Just before Thiago Silva saved the ball, he stabbed and shot it. Unfortunately, the angle was not good enough. Diego Lopez threw the football out again in his busy schedule.

He performed exceptionally well in two consecutive saves, but unfortunately, he also failed to block the ball out of bounds this time.

In the chaos, Bergkamp suddenly burst out, almost kneeling the ball into Deportivo's gate!

"Gooooal!!! Dennis Bergkamp!! The Ice Prince of Highbury!! Arsenal come back again, our prince's goal gave Arsene Wenger a lifeline with [-] minutes left, Arsenal are now two goals behind Deportivo!"

The fans at Highbury Stadium were revived in an instant. They began to roar in the stands, waving flags and scarves in their hands, loudly encouraging the team to continue their efforts.

goal! !Goal! !

Get two more fucking! ! !

"This is really a crazy game." Dean sighed, "And, I can finally see a gap clearly now..."

"What gap?" Frank answered politely.

"Why am I just a 'tactical encyclopedia' in the commentary world, while Professor Wenger... can lead Arsenal unbeaten in 49 games and go straight to the Champions League." Dean looked at the old man who was calmly applauding on the sidelines , sighed lightly, some people's experience and vision are really not comparable to them.

——But Wenger recognized him, what about Juan Dias?

This person was still a player the year before last, but now he has risen to the level of a head coach, and he is indeed undefeated. Is there really such a genius in this world who "knows everything at once"?

Juan was unmoved by the team's loss of the ball, or in other words, he didn't even respond at all. He was still sitting on the coach's bench chatting with his assistant coach Allen, regardless of how his assistant coach was about to jump up in a hurry up.

"Juan!! We've been scored again!! You have to think of a way!!" Alan shook his legs anxiously, it was because Juan kept pressing him to prevent him from jumping up, otherwise If so, I may not know what to do.

"What are you in a hurry for?" Juan smiled at him, very calm: "Don't we still have two away goal difference?"

"Uh, but..."

"There's nothing wrong with it, Alan, you have to calm down, our performance in the first half was already very good." Juan spread his hands calmly, "And we have almost withdrawn all the attackers, and we still have What attack?"

"..." Allen looked back silently at the players sitting on the bench chatting and laughing.

"Okay, you have to trust our players." Juan patted him on the shoulder very easily, "Are you nervous, do you want some snacks?"

"..."

When Deportivo kicked off again, Riquelme passed the ball back and did not move forward.

Deportivo seemed to be really exhausted at the moment, and they began to delay time by turning their feet backwards. Wenger knew what this meant-the players of Deportivo could not run anymore.

The score is leading and the game is about to end. This kind of time-delaying tactic does not feel ashamed to use it. Others can accuse Deportivo of delaying time. They can explain it as controlling the rhythm and patiently looking for opportunities.

Anyway, we are the ones who want to win, so it doesn't matter what we do!

When Arsenal began to press the whole court, Deportivo still continued to reach the backcourt. At most, they made a few long passes from the backcourt and drove the ball forward.

There were one or two chances that Portillo actually caught the football, but when he wanted to take the ball and turn around to kill, Kolo Touré just kicked up and broke the ball. sidelines.

Although Portillo knows that this person has a yellow card, he may not continue to be so excited, but when he thinks of the rumor of "shoveling Henry, Bergkamp and Wenger in a row", he still feels that he should be careful Better……

And what's more terrible is that the ball still belongs to Deportivo.

Deportivo is really not in a hurry. They still have a two-goal lead, so David Luiz, who went out to kick off, looked around with the football in his arms. He didn't know who he was looking for. He was always waiting for the person who received the ball to come forward. Come on, after seven or eight seconds, the football returned to the field, and he threw it directly to Thiago Silva.

As soon as Thiago Silva got the ball, there were many Arsenal players around him. After all, this man made his debut with an own goal, so Arsenal is relatively calm about him taking the ball. Go Silva also knew that he had no lethality with the ball, so after watching for a while, he passed the ball back to Riquelme directly.

Riquelme holding the ball and Thiago Silva holding the ball are two different things, so the Arsenal players quickly surrounded and suppressed them, but the Argentine suddenly accelerated his breakthrough and left most of them behind.

His choice caught his opponents by surprise, and at the same time caught the commentators by surprise.

"Juan Riquelme directly chose to break through Arsenal's entire defense line from the sideline! What is even more surprising is that he really did it!!"

But if he cuts in with the ball towards the goal, he will definitely be blocked halfway, because in terms of distance, he is farther away from the goal.

Juan Riquelme took the ball all the way up to the corner flag, and then protected the ball with his back and resisted Campbell. No matter how hard he tried, Campbell couldn't touch the football, and he became a little angry for a while Campbell stretched out his hand and pushed Riquelme directly out of the field with the ball.

"Uh, the referee signaled Campbell to foul... It's not such a hasty way to push him off the field."

"It's too immature, and I don't have any experience facing a midfielder like Riquelme, otherwise it might be better."

"...not necessarily." Dean didn't dare to say anything now, "To be honest, no matter how good-tempered a person is, it's a headache for a player like Riquelme..."

"Deportivo continued to maintain their possession of the ball. As time passed, Arsenal had almost no chance to touch the ball. If they couldn't even get the ball, how would they even the score?"

Deportivo set the ball in the frontcourt, and there were only two people in front of them, one was Riquelme who kicked off, and the other was Portillo who was about to receive the ball.

Van Persie had already run to Portillo's side, ready to have a fight with him to catch the ball, but Riquelme didn't kick off the ball, but reached out to signal the referee.

——Referee, there is not enough distance for someone to back off!

The referee immediately pointed to Van Persie to make him back, but Van Persie waved his hands innocently, and also protested against Riquelme for delaying the time. The referee just gave him a blank look and was unmoved. Select Back.

Sure enough, after getting the ball, Portillo took the ball and rushed towards... the corner flag without looking back.

The fans at Highbury couldn't help booing loudly.

What kind of team is this!What qualities are these! !

Deportivo de La Coruña lost face in order to delay the game time! !Who will take care of them! !

Juan didn't care about the boos all over the field. After all, this is just a common strategy on the court. It actually means the same thing as "garbage time". However, garbage time requires the tacit understanding of the players on both sides, and now It's just that they took the initiative to drag the rhythm into it.

What's more, it's not without benefits to do so. It can kill the opponent's fighting spirit and make Arsenal's formation have to retreat. Otherwise, their front line will definitely be stretched, and Deportivo is not a fool. They really have a chance If not, they will still shoot head-on.

Arsenal were forced back to their own half, but as soon as the number came up, they were about to start to encircle Deportivo. Riquelme protected the ball again, but this time it was Colo who came up to steal the ball · Toure, he and Campbell intercepted the other and Riquelme weighed the pros and cons and avoided the impact and sent the ball.

As soon as he got the ball, Kolo Toure tried his best and drove forward with a big foot.

However, Arsenal basically stayed in their own half at this time. The people in the opposite half were far ahead, and they couldn't catch up for a while. Gago, who was successfully blocked, directly made a header to clear the sack.

Two short and one long, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Arsenal players wiped their sweat and looked up at the score.

3:5, the host before the guest.

"It's been a long time since Arsenal fell behind another team by two goals at home." Frank said with some emotion, "The Deportivo players finally started to celebrate after the game, especially Two young people, today is the first match of the Champions League for David Luiz and Thiago Silva, and they will be in the quarter-finals as soon as they come up. The opponent is Arsenal. It seems that Juan Diaz I care a lot about these two kids.”

"Dias and Wenger shook hands on the sidelines. There was no communication between the two. We couldn't see any joy on the faces of the two coaches... I can understand Wenger, Dias?"

"It's probably because of those three goals." Dean raised his eyebrows and looked at the end of the field. Juan didn't seem to plan to attend the post-match press conference, and his assistant coach was standing next to him, talking endlessly. What, he just raised his eyebrows and glanced, then nodded.

"A total of eight goals were produced in the whole game, and there were countless wonderful shots. From the perspective of those of us watching the game, we may think that this is a classic confrontational battle, but... this is simply not the case. Like Deportivo and Arsenal."

"When did Arsenal concede five goals in a game?"

"Sometimes Deportivo can't concede three goals in five games, right?"

Indeed, now Juan was thinking of something similar.

In this game, Deportivo are not the dominant players.

They basically rely on the players' personal ability and fighting spirit to carry out the game, not to mention dominance, and he can't let go of chasing three goals in a row for a long time.

Passively adjust the countermeasures according to Arsenal's offensive and defensive posture. To be honest, Juan is not happy to win this game.

So in the locker room, when everyone was very relaxed, Juan said calmly to all the players: "Today's victory is commendable. The Champions League has just begun. Don't be complacent... Also, lost three About the ball, we will talk slowly when we return to Deportivo."

He didn't say too much, it wasn't necessary, it was enough to keep the players clear-headed, but even so, some players still had a muscle twitch on their faces.

La Coruña's Hell Special Training...

Juan still couldn't bear Alan's earnest request to attend the press conference, and the first sharp question made him silent for a long time.

"Although Deportivo scored five goals in this game, the defense conceded three goals. This figure is almost equal to the total number of goals conceded in your six games in the group stage. Deportivo's Is the reason for the sharp decline in the quality of defense?"

"First of all, the people are still the same group of people, and the teams we are facing are not the same type of team. The Arsenal we are facing has created an incomparable difference between last season and this season. I'm very satisfied with my players and I can achieve this result against a team like this."

The reporters in the audience looked over with complicated eyes.

——To be honest, if they didn't look at the score, they thought that Deportivo was fucked by someone in an away game, and then they were convinced and said some kind words.

But the one who won two goal difference at this moment is Deportivo? !

Dad, did you take the wrong script? !

Juan coughed twice, and continued: "Football games are not scientific. It is difficult for you to use reasoning to find all the reasons for a goal or conceded goal. Factors such as morale, mentality, and performance at critical moments all account for it. It's a big factor, it can be said that football is full of passion and infinite possibilities."

"We were lucky to win today, but it doesn't mean we are on the same level as Arsenal. Deportivo still has a long way to go."

After the press conference, Juan was going to return to Spain with the team, but before going back, he received an invitation from someone.

Juan looked at the phone and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Go back first, I'm going to stay here for a while." Juan put away his phone calmly, put on his sunglasses casually, jumped off the bus, and waved at them.

"Ah?" Allen, who was following behind, was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Okay..."

To be honest, Juan's friends are too many all over the world, why are there still acquaintances in London? !

Juan also has all kinds of hardships that he can’t tell. He found a coffee shop outside Highbury and waited for someone. Now a large wave of gun fans have come out of the stadium, cursing and swearing. Juan doesn’t even need to think about it. I thought, there must be his name in it, the kind of a series of swear words.

...To be honest, he is quite dangerous here.

Juan wanted to smile bitterly, or was that person's original purpose to let him stay here, and then be beaten to death by gun fans?

Shouldn't it? ?

Even Juan, standing here is a bit cautious.

You said, the team lost the game originally, but when you are in a bad mood and see the head coach of the opposing team standing in front of you, what should you do?
