football's most handsome

Not to mention the Barcelona players on the field, the Barcelona fans who came from afar in the stands broke out in a cold sweat.

From Deportivo's corner kick, Belleron made a direct pass to the frontcourt, and Quaresma went above the baseline.

No.206 minutes, Riquelme created a free kick, he himself 35 meters away from the free kick directly shot, was saved by Valdes baseline.

No. In the 208th minute, Redondo crossed the ball in the face of the defense of three defenders. Aimar, who was inserted in the back row, shot a long shot and missed the far post.

No.301 minutes, Belleron passed Messi directly, but Valdez attacked ahead of time to get the football.

This kind of attack lasted until No.40 minutes. Barcelona seems to be out of shape today, and can only barely resist the attack of Deportivo. Three defenders and two midfielders easily resolved.

In the 40th minute, Quaresma took the ball in the front court and was violated by the opponent's defender. Deportivo got a direct free kick 25 meters away from the goal.

"Actually, I still don't understand. Whether Morientes or Portillo is on the court at this time, they must be better than the combination of Messi and Quaresma?" Looking at Belle Long walked to the penalty spot, and Frank was a little confused.

After all, those two people are better than Quaresma and Messi in terms of experience and aggression. No matter how you say it, these two people are not yet great.

When facing a team like Barcelona, ​​shouldn't they come up with their strongest attacking lineup?Especially when it is necessary to face the opposite terrorist attack group.

Since it is to play a defensive counterattack, can Deportivo play well? ?

"It is indeed the case. Whether it is Portillo or Morientes on the court at this time, Deportivo's free kick options are much larger than now." Dean also agrees with Frank's point of view. "Such a distance is not very powerful for Vereron, but if he shoots directly and vigorously, the threat of a straight ball is also great."

"Vereron's free throws are very powerful and extremely fast. Even if it is a straight line, it is a great test for the goalkeeper."

But what is surprising is that it was not Belleron who kicked off the ball, but Riquelme who stood beside him like a random screen!

Riquelme fooled most of them, even Valdes.

However, he didn't shoot directly, but drove the football forward. Gago rushed to meet the landing point, and directly ferryed the ball with a header!

This choice surprised everyone, the ball flew over the heads of most people, and in the middle of the goal, a figure leaped high and hit the football hard on the head, Valdes subconsciously raised his hand Blocked, but the football flew between his arms and hung directly into the inner corner of the goal!

"2:0!! In just the first half, Deportivo had already taken a two-goal lead in the first half, and this time it was Lionel Messi who sent the football into Barcelona's goal! When Price's header was ferried, Messi was unmarked and he easily headed the ball into the goal. In the last round of the league, Messi also broke through Valdez's five fingers at the Nou Camp!"

"Deportivo suddenly played vigorously during the game. Could it be that Barcelona is going to become the second team to fall into the sand at the Liasso Stadium and be double-killed?!"

Messi also cheered on the court and went directly to the fan area to celebrate.

In previous away games at Camp Nou, Deportivo had the least number of away games, at most a thousand people. However, in this game, [-] fans at the Liasso Stadium cheered for him. Cheers, boos from the direction of the visiting fans are barely audible.

Barcelona also didn't expect that Deportivo would wave their sickle violently here.

In the past matches, Deportivo always controlled the tempo slowly, either playing defensive counterattacks, or dragging down the opponent's physical fitness first. What exactly is Deportivo doing?

And what's more terrible is that at the beginning everyone thought he was playing tricks-although he came up with a 3-5-2 formation, but his players on the court moved like a standard 4 -5-1 formation, Dean thinks so, obviously Rijkaard thinks so too.

At the beginning, he was still proud that he had found La Coruña's little trick, and even spurned Juan Diaz's childish tricks in his heart.

Think he can't see it? !

But look now, who is the fool and who is the fool?

At the end of the first half, the entire Barcelona fans and players were stunned.

What kind of routine is this in Deportivo?

It looks like he is defending and counterattacking, or flying a kite tactic, but no matter how you look at it now... it looks like... attacking from the side...

The center of Deportivo's offense has always been in the middle, which everyone knows, but today, it seems that Deportivo wants to challenge itself?

During the intermission, Juan clapped his hands: "Everyone performed very well in the first half, and the second half will continue. Isn't Barcelona good at attacking? Then we will make them unable to attack, and we will use their best attack Beat them!"

"Oh!!!"

After the opening of the second half, Barcelona obviously started to play a little timidly. After all, they are still afraid of Deportivo's counterattack.

Although several of their strikers who can play are not on the field today, it does not mean that there are no dangerous people on the field.

- Quaresma, Lionel Messi.

These two people didn't go through any fighting on the field when they were in Barcelona. After all, they even had very few opportunities to play. However, in Deportivo and under Juan's strict discipline, they have gradually started Climb to the peak of the future.

Barcelona is timid, but Deportivo doesn't need to be afraid of them?

So amidst the excited cheers of the home fans, Deportivo de La Coruña rushed up like a tiger descending the mountain like a tiger, and wanted to have a bloody battle with the opponent!

Seeing Deportivo's aggressiveness, Barcelona, ​​which is two goals behind, has no choice. They plan to speed up the pace to score goals quickly, and they also have to adapt to Deportivo's crazy pressing tactics.

After a somewhat ignorant first half, all Barcelona players have begun to be familiar with Deportivo's high-pressure pressing tactics, and the enthusiasm of the players to take the initiative to respond to football has obviously increased.

Moreover, Deportivo has fallen into a strange state of seeking stability. They are obviously attacking crazily, but once there is no point in front of the ball, then Deportivo's players would rather pass back than let themselves fall into the trap. In a double-team environment.

This can also be regarded as the most cautious approach, after all, they are the ones who are leading now!

The one to worry about is Barcelona, ​​they just need to keep this score.

"The game has entered a slightly dull scene. Deportivo and Barcelona are competing for control of the midfield. Haven't they thought that they can take two sides instead of the midfield?" Frank complained. , "Dean, what is your reason?"

Dean glanced at him and sighed softly: "Whose sidewalk did you make move?"

"Of course..." Frank choked suddenly.

Yes, who can move on the wing?

Barcelona and Deportivo are facing each other in the middle. The wingers and full-backs on both sides are in full swing. No matter what, football can't go to them. After all, they dare not send it there.

Both sides are entangled at the moment, and the people who are entangled are not simple. Redondo, Juan Sorin, Ronaldinho, and Harvey are all in this range. These big guys can It is said that it is a heavy weapon for the two teams, and it is now displayed to serve as a deterrent.

And if they weren't involved with each other, what a terrible scene would have appeared at this moment-Ledondo's steals and organizational offenses are not a joke, if he is really allowed to do this once, both Harvey and Iniesta Not enough for him to watch.

Who dares to try these two paths?

No. 407 minutes, Iniesta took a risky pass and tried to send a cannonball to Ronaldinho, but the ball was accurately intercepted by Redondo. After stealing the ball, Redondo directly sent the football to the goal to the left.

When the ball was about to go out of the sideline, Messi controlled the ball with a beautiful outside instep unloading technique. Before Puyol pressed from behind, he started at high speed.

When Edmilson came to defend him, he smashed the ball in a high-speed dribble, then dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, made a pass and stopped on the spot, and the entire Barcelona defense line retreated to prevent him from passing through. The ball was hit, but Messi kicked and kicked without warning!

The football bounced from his feet like an elf. Van Bronckhorst and Sylvinho were dumbfounded. Edmilson subconsciously used his head to block the flight route of the football.

Because of his obstruction, Valdez was blocked from sight. When the football flew in front of him like a meteor, he moved a step sideways, and finally stopped.

boom.

The football hit the post and bounced from the inside of the post into the goal.

"Lionel Messi!! A goal!! whatagoooooooal!!" Frank roared directly, he really didn't expect that this 16-year-old boy could show such a powerful combat power on the court ! ! !

"He took the ball from the touchline and dribbled it all the way, past Edmilson, and faked the Barcelona defenders in front of the penalty area, everyone thought he was going to pass the ball, but he didn't!! "Dean was also very excited, he was even panting.

"Lionel Messi kicked the ball on the spot and hit the ball in an arc. The speed of the ball was not fast, but the angle was tricky. It was definitely a dead corner. It bounced inside the goal post and then drilled into the goal. The ball sighs!!!”

"Deportivo's striker is stronger than before, and will even become more dangerous and unpredictable in the future. Messi's threat is far more lethal than a pure striker! Deportivo has scored three goals in a row, Barcelona What are we going to do next time?!"

Lionel Messi's goal stunned the crowd.

The fans of Deportivo opened their mouths wide after this goal, and were speechless for a long time. They didn't react until Messi ran in front of them and began to applaud vigorously. The fans recalled the process of scoring just now, Full of praise for Messi's performance.

Who the hell said that this kid is too expensive for 2000 million yuan?

According to them, this child is worth buying! !

"Valdés has become Lionel Messi's background board, and his performance today is a bit abnormal." Dean looked at the situation on the court and continued: "It may be that he was beaten by Real Sociedad in the last game." A defender with his head on his waist is not good, or maybe he really can't do anything about Lionel Messi."

Rijkaard's face sank.

Of course he knows what Valdes is doing now. It's the same thing if he is not in the state. In addition, Lionel Messi has played in the dead corner of Valdes several times. The method, once you can capture that position in the game, the goal is nine out of ten.

He had nothing to say about the first goal conceded, it was teamwork after all.

He was really speechless after conceding the second and third goals.

A set kick, a Messi's personal show, as long as the luck is so good, they won't be such a score.

The last time they scored so many goals so quickly was the national derby!

And he actually let a 16-year-old boy come to a solo show in front of Barcelona's defense line!

Juan looked at the situation on the court, and made several gestures to the court with a calm expression. The players of the whole team were paying close attention to the situation on the side of the court at all times. After seeing Ju Andong's gestures, they all responded. Start running.

In the original pre-match plan, Deportivo's high-pressure pressing tactics should only be carried out in the first half. After all, few teams can maintain high-pressure pressing for nine to 10 minutes. The most important thing to consider is their physical strength. After all, if you keep pressing like this, you will be hit by a strong counterattack by your opponent after your physical fitness declines, and you will be easily pierced through the defense.

But there is no problem now. Deportivo has already led by three goals, the timing is just right, and the situation is not bad, so it can be stopped and played.

Rijkaard looked a little pale.

Deportivo's luck is so good, he really wants to know now, why their team has not had any major injuries, and why their team can pick up treasures?

The three goals in this game, Lionel Messi and Ricardo Quaresma, were all sold by him personally, and he did not have any regrets when selling people, but now, he Suddenly, I felt tired.

——At the beginning, I really thought that these two people were just losing money. They were also very happy that the big guy in La Coruña was willing to buy it, but now, they don't know who is more losing.

Now is not the time to think about these things. There was nothing to gain in the previous round of offense. Deportivo is going to kick off again. Rijkaard didn’t think there was any problem at the beginning, but when he saw Deportivo on the field clearly After Ya's performance, he almost spit out a mouthful of water, stood up and wanted to rush to the home coach's bench to challenge Juan one-on-one!

He is really the dog of the whole of Spain. Why doesn't Deportivo's midfielder grab it now? !And why did their formation shrink back to play defensive counterattacks? ! !

Juan Diaz, I [beep——] kill your whole family, can you stop being so wretched? ! !

Juan didn't know that he had been put on a wretched hat unintentionally. If he knew, he would just sneer.

Obscene?

He has already led by three goals, and if he doesn't defend well next, what else is there to think about stabilizing the score?Now Deportivo is like a cheetah that has preyed and eaten, yawning lazily, stretching or something, anyway, it will not attack Barcelona stupidly anyway.

——What's more, Barcelona still has the physical strength to sprint on the court.

And if Deportivo really wants to be wretched, Juan can put up a formation that makes the whole of Europe desperate with the players he has on hand.

In addition to Thiago Silva and David Luiz, two defenders who have played in the reserve team all the year round, Deportivo also has six backcourts. Juan Belleron and Redondo in the midfield, with Morientes and Portillo in front, dare not say that every game will win, but the defense will definitely make the European strikers desperate.

... Can you not despair?Six defenders come up at once, this is exactly like setting up a bus in front of the goal!

But Juan himself doesn't like that style of play very much. The first is that it suppresses the talents of the players themselves, and the second is that he himself is an offensive coach.

And if he also runs into a defensive team, the scene of the game is really too monotonous. Anyway, as a young man, he can't stand such a boring scene, and he might sleep on the coach's bench.

On the court, Deportivo took the initiative to shrink and fight the opponent's counterattack, taking into account their own physical problems and to prevent injuries, but in this way, Barcelona also got a chance to breathe.

Five minutes after the re-kick-off, Barcelona began to try to keep possession of the ball. They finally recovered. Without encountering the hellish siege of Deportivo in the midfield, the players finally relaxed themselves. The tense nerves began to show a more calm state.

"Wow wow wow... I knew that Juan is so weak." Dean sighed, but the smile on his face couldn't stop at all. "Before the game, we and Rijkaard only guessed half right. Juan's formation can play 4-5-1 or 3-5-2, but he played tricks and let us When everyone thought he would play 4-5-1, he resolutely chose 3-5-2... This really caught Barcelona by surprise, and he also scored three of their goals, but this tactic also has its own advantages. questionable."

"What's the problem?" Frank was a little confused.

"The problem is, if it is 4-5-1, Barcelona may not really be prepared. After all, the list is known before the game, and it is impossible to adjust the formation on the court immediately. However, Juan chose 3-5-2. This When the formation was playing, due to the limitations of Deportivo's players on the field, their defense on the side was still a little bit worse. For example, the formation was too wide and the midfielder lacked technical elements, so Barcelona had to react at this moment It's..."

Facts have proved that Dean's judgment is also correct, although in the first half, Barcelona was almost stunned by Deportivo - this is the second time they were stunned in a short period of time. Chelsea led by Mourinho played like this.

However, Rijkaard quickly discovered the small problem of Deportivo's formation-their left wing was a bit empty.

Barcelona has never encountered a high-pressure press from a strong team. Even if they encounter a tough defensive team, they will not take the risk of pressing forward. The opponent Chelsea in the last game even played a sideways counterattack. Only today Deportivo de La Coruña put Barcelona under unprecedented siege pressure.

They bounced back after losing three goals in a row. Barcelona's contraction gave them space to stabilize their mentality and rhythm. When they could pass through the midfield calmly, their offensive advantages began to be reflected.

— At least one or two goals must be scored, right? !The last time they were at the Nou Camp, they were already ashamed enough. Now that they are at the home court of Deportivo, are they going to lose face to Riazor? !

With this belief, Rijka Caldrick began to command all the players to storm the left, and successfully used the breakthrough on this side to create a corner kick, and used this corner kick to get back a point.

In stoppage time, Barcelona once again took advantage of the gap on the left to get back a point, but it still didn't help. Relying on Quaresma's goal and Messi's brace, Deportivo scored three goals at home. Two Lectra Barcelona.

At the post-match press conference, Juan had a very strange smile on his face.

"I remember at the beginning of the league, the head coach of a team made an appointment for the second game of the league and asked me to wait and see during the first game of the league, and told me... Is there such a thing as having to compare the team's points with Deportivo before coming here?"

The reporters at the scene started to laugh. They all knew what was going on. Rijkaard paid the price for his arrogance. In the league, Deportivo beat Barcelona twice. In the Champions League, Deportivo had already reached the quarter-finals. position, while Barcelona died in the top sixteen and could no longer move forward. Judging from this result, Deportivo is much better than Barcelona. Now there is only one Copa del Rey, and the records of both sides can take Come out on a par.

what about others?

Ha ha.

"Some teams know how to be opportunistic, just compete with their own derby opponents? They must make enemies outside... Deportivo is not a soft persimmon to handle." Juan smiled pointedly. , "Facts have proved that if they want to come to La Coruña's territory to act wildly, they are not so tyrannical."

Perhaps after a few years, Barcelona and Real Madrid will not be like this, but for now, these two teams are chaotic locker rooms, players are distracted, and La Coruña is united as one, the comparison between the two It is also a matter of course to double kill this pair of national derby opponents.

The reporters on the scene laughed out loud. Juan Diaz showed his sharp side directly after abandoning all his friendliness, especially those who were very rude to him at the beginning. Now Juan is slapping them in the face one by one, using his own results.

"Speaking of which, almost all the main players in the backcourt have been released in this game. What will you do in the next Champions League game?"

Hearing such a question, Juan was taken aback subconsciously: "Isn't the next Champions League game in April?"

The match between them and Arsenal was on March 3th, and it is only a little over half a month now. Why did they mention the quarter-finals in early April?

"That's right, there are still three games. In the middle two league games, you have to play Villarreal and Real Betis. The Copa del Rey is the second round match with Real Madrid. Are you not worried at all?"

Indeed, the more thrilling the La Coruña schedule became, the more chances to meet Hao Qiang. Juan was silent for a while, smiled and nodded: "I'm worried, but I will still face it head-on."

"But if this is the case, Deportivo may lose all four players."

"I don't care." When Juan said this with a smile, the reporters in the audience were silent, "This is the first season of Deportivo, even if there is no trophy, I don't care, but we must establish It's absolutely essential to get the spirit and soul of the team up."

"Many players in Deportivo have an inseparable relationship with several strong teams in La Liga. Do you think this is the key to your victory?"

"The key?" Juan thought for a while, then waved his hand, "It doesn't count, and these things will only make people stagnate, what Deportivo players need is to believe in their future, not to indulge in the past Unfortunately, I'd let them say goodbye to the past if they wanted to."

"Like Portillo, Morientes, Quaresma and Messi?"

——Personally play the whole game and win the former team?

To be honest, this is really a farewell that can completely heal my soul...

Juan smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"..." The reporters on the scene were silent for a while, "Then against Villarreal, will you let Riquelme play?"

"That has to take into account the player's own state." Juan simply replied.

"Will you start Lionel Messi again in the next game?"

"This is a team secret, so it's inconvenient to tell."

Deportivo had done well with a 3-5-2 formation in the win over Barcelona, ​​and they left Ronaldinho nowhere in the first half, leading many to believe in the same A set of styles of play.

However, Juan knew that such a style of play could not last.

It can be used once or twice, but if it is too much, it will be easy to be caught. It is okay to use it occasionally as a tactical change, but not for long-term use.

Deportivo can be said to have a changeable lineup at the moment, and no one can figure out their tactical routines at all, which is also the key to their victory over the enemy.

And in Juan's view, this set of tactics has a good room for growth, especially at the moment Deportivo has more players with full potential for improvement. After a few years, if you look at the current lineup, it will definitely be It is the most luxurious.

On the eve of the Villarreal game, Deportivo sent representatives to draw lots. This time they chose to let Zubizarreta draw, and their "lucky" goalkeeper coach lived up to expectations and got the lottery. A "signature".

Deportivo's opponent in the next game is the Ligue [-] powerhouse Olympiad Lyon.

Lyon this season is terrible. Although their overall strength is not particularly junior high school, and the substitute lineup is also various weaknesses, but their starting 11 players are surprisingly strong. Their overall strength is not weak, especially under the leadership of coach Le Guin. Under the leadership, their ability to grab points is quite strong.

Le Guin is a head coach who is very good at playing in the league, but he is a bit poor in cup games. It is because of this that Lyon led by him has mediocre results in the European arena, but in the league, they can compete with Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco. The existence of the team rolling up their sleeves.

"I should thank you, didn't you draw Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Chelsea, the Milan duo or Paris Saint-Germain when the Deportivo schedule was so intense?"

Juan is a little helpless, this draft is not good, he is actually quite satisfied, after all, no matter how good Lyon is, it is not as overbearing as the above-mentioned teams, at least Deportivo still has a chance to deal with it; Well, he himself has no confidence-Juan knows almost zero about the Lyon team.

So in order to compete, he must carefully study everything about Lyon.

——Of course, before facing Lyon, he still has three fierce battles to fight.

Villarreal are a very difficult team, even without Riquelme they still have a solid midfield and the Yellow Submarines always play great football.

Although Guayre, the main attacker of the yellow submarine, was injured and unable to play in this game, the attack power of the trident of Forlan, Jose Mari and Sony Anderson is also not to be underestimated. The Trident has scored quite a few goals, and Villarreal is now able to rank in the middle of the league. The offensive ability of these three people has played a big role.

"Anderson has been famous since I was a child." As soon as Juan's opening remarks came out, most people had the urge to vomit blood, but they couldn't tell what was wrong...

What a goddamn young coach! ! !

"But we are opponents now. I don't want my team to lose points here. It happens that our offense is also very strong, so today I want to compare with the yellow submarine and see if it is the new Deportivo. A good attack, but Villarreal's attack is even better."

Before the start of the game, Juan made no secret of the tactics he would use next, but the media all expressed their disbelief!

"Don't be fooled by this guy! He always pretends to be attacking in situations like this and actually plays on the counter-attack. He did it many times in La Liga and the Copa del Rey! He always does that. You don’t mean what you say, you want to defend but you attack, you want to attack but you say it’s a defensive counterattack... Villarreal, don’t be fooled!”

The La Liga media were very eager to remind Villarreal, but after the game started, they found that they seemed to be judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain...

Goalkeeper Diego Lopez, defenders Andrade, Capdevila, Juan Sorin, midfielders Fernando Redondo, Juan Belleron, Pablo Aimar, Juan Riquelme, Fernando Gago, forward Morientes, Portillo.

That's a special case against Barcelona!However, except for the game against Barcelona, ​​Deportivo's starting lineup has not changed compared to the last league game, and there has been no change in tactics...

At the beginning of the game, Deportivo used a somewhat fierce attack, which almost stunned Villarreal.

In fact, Villarreal's tactics this season are very simple. The attack in the frontcourt relies on the trident, and the defense in the backcourt relies on the other seven players. Up to now, all the goals in their league have been scored by the trident in the frontcourt. .

So in fact, although their current rankings are not bad, it is because they can always achieve small victories and grab points quite well, but they are not particularly outstanding in terms of offense and defense.

It was precisely because of this that Juan let La Coruña go directly up to attack on a large scale.

Anyway, Villarreal does not have Riquelme at the moment to organize an offense, and they are still a little weaker if they want to confront Deportivo head-on.

Anyway, the idea that Juan brainwashed everyone in Deportivo is that goals, a lot of goals, maybe a lot of goals will be conceded, but that's Diego Lopez's business-when it comes to this, Diego Lopez Pace always has a sad expression on his face - but this always leads to a lot of goals in the game.

He needs Deportivo to have an aura, an aura that is not afraid of losing, but will not lose.

From the beginning of the game, Deportivo launched a frenzied attack, constantly creating opportunities by attacking from the center. At the same time, the midfielder also ran to support each other, and then tore through the opponent's defense through back and forth passes.

Deportivo have center forwards like Morientes and Portillo, so they have not been passing by. Their two full-backs, Gago and Riquelme, are more like free agents. Sometimes he retreats to the position of the midfielder, and when attacking, sometimes he goes up to the winger, and sometimes he goes up into the penalty area. This style of play is more flexible and more difficult to defend.

Only 8 minutes into the game, Deportivo deported Villarreal's defense through a series of passes in the frontcourt. First, Juan Belleron advanced and then passed the ball to Portillo. Portillo took the ball and turned around, but knocked the ball to Gago who was plugging in from the left.

Facing the defense in front of him, Gago raised his foot straight into the penalty area. Morientes relied on his speed advantage to grab the ball in front of the opponent's defender, then turned around and raised his foot to pass the ball to the other side of the penalty area. , Portillo, who went forward, pushed the ball with one kick, and the football flew into the goal in the blink of an eye!
