When he stepped into the field, Juan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

——Finally caught up.

Although Deportivo entered the field late, after all, it was their side that took advantage, so he was actually not worried about what would happen to Deportivo, because the one who suffered was definitely Chelsea.

"We can see that the players from Deportivo have finally rushed to the stadium!" Frank laughed. "Ah, it's really thrilling. What's going on with them? I thought they were going to be late. "

"According to the news from the front line, Deportivo players clashed with Chelsea fans outside Stamford Bridge, but fortunately Juan Diaz calmed down these fans..." Di En frowned, "The players in Deportivo started to warm up briefly. Running before the game consumed their energy."

"However, they all don't look very tired. This may be a bad situation with Juan Dias. He directly ordered to abandon the car and run. Otherwise, they might not have performed so easily." Indeed, if you run all the way quickly, you will consume more physical energy.

Frank let out a "Oh shit": "Speaking of which, didn't he change his suit on the road? Why did he change it back when he came here?"

Yes, it's that cool!

At the beginning, no one noticed. After Frank said this, the audience friends suddenly realized, when did he change his clothes back?

Moreover, this person not only changed his clothes back, but also put down his hair. The head of hair, which was like sunshine, was tied up behind his head with a headband, looking as if he was just going to a tea party.

"No matter what, Deportivo has arrived at the scene, and the game can still go on as usual!"

Dean coughed lightly: "Dias is now greeting the referee and the fourth official, and then he walked towards Mourinho, the coaches of the two teams are about to shake hands."

"This is really rare to see. The coaching experience of these two coaches is quite legendary, and they are different from others even at the beginning. I don't know what wonderful things they will bring to us today. Performance."

Regarding Frank's optimistic estimate, Dean waved his hand: "This game will definitely be exciting, yes, because even before the game started, it was so different from ordinary people... Chelsea's bus for Depco was turned off. , They managed to trot all the way here, and finally stood in front of the Stamford Bridge Stadium, but they ran into a group of Chelsea fans again, which almost caused a conflict..."

Dean shut his mouth, because Juan had already walked in front of Mourinho.

The head coaches of the two teams shook hands.

Juan was actually a little uncomfortable at the moment. After all, he was in a hurry. When they rushed into the locker room, it was only 3 minutes before the start of the game. Juan immediately began to direct the players to quickly change into a full set of equipment. He himself turned around and rushed into the coach lounge with his things in hand.

After all, it is not as convenient as a jersey, and it is a bit laborious to put on and take off, so when everyone was ready to come out of the locker room, Juan really had no choice but to come out of the locker room.

...but his shirt buttons were still undone, exposing a large area of ​​his chest.

While hurriedly fastening the buttons, Juan wanted to direct his players to run to the court immediately, but when he looked up, he became angry.

"Why are you in a daze, hurry up and go to the court right now!"

Although such subjective factors are understandable, and it wasn't Chelsea that was at fault first, he didn't want to take advantage at all.

Fortunately, after going out of the player tunnel, he has sorted himself out during this period of time, so after coming out of the player tunnel, he is still the familiar Juan Diaz.

After calling everything, he went to shake Mourinho's hand. The legendary Champions League winner seemed relieved to see him, and then frowned.

"I will apply to the fourth official for a 10-minute delay."

Juan was taken aback and raised his eyebrows: "No need, La Coruña doesn't need to rest now."

"That's you, not your players." Mourinho glanced at him, his gray-blue eyes were cold, and then he turned his head and left. "In this way, you won't have anything to say when you lose, will you?"

Juan smiled: "Thank you very much." Although he said so, there was no smile in his eyes.

He turned his head to look at the camera that had been following him all the time: "Brother, are you going to follow me all the time?"

The staff with the camera was stunned for a moment, Qiqi Ai said: "That's not the case, I still have to follow Coach Mourinho..."

Juan nodded: "Since this is the case, then you can follow him."

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and walked to his seat on the coach's bench.

Mourinho did apply to the fourth official to delay the game for 4 minutes, and it was successful after the discussion. Suddenly, the Deportivo players looked at the direction of Chelsea's coaching bench, which was a bit complicated.

...Is there something wrong with this person, waiting here when they didn't come, and now they are here, delayed by 10 minutes? !

Juan naturally saw the disbelief on the faces of all of them. He sighed and waved his hands, calling everyone to him: "Since we have a chance for 10 minutes, let's talk about the formation. It's all right, the final adjustment."

Allen also came over at this time, with a strange expression on his face.

He also has to be weird. If the game starts on the spot at this time, it’s okay. At most, Deportivo’s starting list needs to be reported by the players...

But this 10-minute delay means that Deportivo can get Chelsea's starting list?

After seeing the starting list, Chelsea's formation can be roughly guessed, which is another kind of unfairness to the game.

Especially when the opponent is Juan, a coach who is best at on-the-spot adjustments, it is very dangerous to reveal his starting list in advance.

Juan frowned and looked in the direction of Mourinho. The man didn't even look this way, as if he didn't care about the situation here at all.

Juan frowned, and called Allen to him: "What's the matter?"

"Boss, this is Chelsea's starting list." Allen sneakily handed over his mobile phone, and Juan raised his eyebrows and looked down.

"... Isn't it just an ordinary list?"

It's really ordinary, it's just Chelsea's strongest lineup.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Terry, Carvalho, Ferreira, Bridge, Gallas

Midfielders: Lampard, Makelele, Arjen Robben, Joe Cole

Forward: Didier Drogba

And this lineup, Juan is also very familiar.

——The bus formation, also known as the 901 formation.

Mourinho's proud work left only one offensive striker in the frontcourt during the game, and most of the players defended to the midfield.

Generally speaking, Mourinho would still put two forwards for a little bit of fun, but today he only put one forward, which means he is going to set the bus.

——By the way, the biggest nemesis of Deportivo's offensive pass control is such a bus, especially when the opponent's defense is very strong.

Juan didn't know what to say. He took a deep look in Mourinho's direction and called Allen over.

"Go and give them Deportivo's starting line-up."

"Ah?" Allen was dumbfounded, why didn't this person take advantage of his advantage?

"We don't need to acknowledge him." After Juan finished speaking calmly, he walked towards the players. What I have to say is that after seeing Chelsea's terrifying lineup, he wanted to understand the situation on the pitch. Make a little modification.

"Mourinho asked to postpone the game for 10 minutes... To be honest, I don't think he is such a soft-hearted head coach." Frank felt a little surprised. Isn't it right to go and give a fatal blow?Why did the madman go the other way?

It's not like his style...

"He's always been so crazy." Dean sighed, "Have you forgotten what he did in the semi-finals of the league?"

Frank smiled and didn't say much.

Of course he did not forget that after being beaten by Ferguson's Manchester United in the first round, Mourinho directly accused Ferguson of interfering with the referee during the intermission.

"What can I say? Maybe when I'm 60 years old and have coached in this league for 20 years, I can also earn the respect of everyone, and have the power to make others tremble with every word!"

Comrades, that's Ferguson!

The Premier League's No. [-] hair dryer, the British royal family's certification, tearing up the big hand Sir Alex!

I have to say that this new coach is also courageous enough!

In the second round of the match, Chelsea beat Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford. After the victory, Mourinho turned into a "beautiful young man". He gave a bottle in the name of his birthday. Top red wine and Ferguson chatted after the game...

Perhaps it was from that time that Ferguson hated this young man, but he still admired him.

Of course, the fact that Sir Alex can appreciate it does not mean that Juan can appreciate it. He has always kept this matter in his heart. Waiting for the day when there will be a formal revenge.

So such a day came.

Mourinho naturally felt the gaze from that side, but he didn't turn his head, his face was serious, watching his players warming up on the court.

He has said enough, and he doesn't need to say anything more to his players.

After a while, his assistant came up to him: "Sir, do you want to take a look at this?"

Mourinho thought it was something, but when he looked down, Deportivo had announced their starting list.

"..." Mourinho frowned and looked in Juan's direction, just as the other party looked over calmly.

The little coach of Deportivo nodded slightly at the person, and then continued to bend down to talk to his players. The terrible thing was that his voice was too low, even if there was a camera brother next to him, he couldn't hear him.

And the big cameraman is not at Deportivo at all. He has been working as a photographer at Stamford Bridge for so long, and he has developed a good habit since this season.

——No matter who comes to the game, no matter what, just keep taking care of your head coach.

However, thanks to the big cameraman who joined Mourinho, the live broadcast room quickly received a message: "Deportivo has announced the list of players? Ah... Really, their Facebook account has announced the players At the same time, we also received a starting list of players..."

"Deportivo, goalkeeper Diego López..."

Goalkeeper: Diego Lopez

Defenders: Juan Sorin, Jorge Andrade, Capdevila

Midfielders: Juan Belleron, Fernando Redondo, Fernando Gago, Juan Riquelme, Pablo Aimar

Forwards: Javier Portillo, Fernando Morientes

"Deportivo has obviously come up with their strongest attacking lineup..." Frank sighed softly, "There are 32 teams in the Champions League in the [-]-[-] season. To be honest, just look at the stars of the team. Deportivo Asia may not be the most brilliant team, but if you look at the overall strength on the court..."

"In terms of overall strength, Deportivo can only be regarded as one of the best teams." Dean took over, "At least from my point of view, the lineups of AC Milan and Chelsea are also very good. "

"I also think they are both very good, but what I want to know more now is, what exactly does Deportivo want to do... Can such a lineup break the iron barrel formation on the opposite side?"

"I think it's a bit difficult." Dean sighed, "You can compare. Deportivo have conceded [-] goals this season, while Chelsea have only conceded [-]!"

[Remarks: In reality, in the [-]-[-] season, Chelsea conceded only [-] goals and won the Premier League title four rounds ahead of schedule. However, they lost to Liverpool in the Champions League. The same is true for AC Milan, which won the league title ahead of schedule, and then lost to Liverpool... 】

"These two conceded goals are terribly low, okay? You don't even look at Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​[-] and [-]...One is almost one goal per game, and the other is a little more than one goal per game. This is basically It's like conceding a goal every game!"

"You don't need to calculate these things like this. After all, Real Madrid can have less with Iker Casillas. As for Barcelona... Valdes is also a good goalkeeper, um..."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about Deportivo and Chelsea." Seeing that the topic was about to fly away, Dean immediately pulled back, "We all know that Deportivo is best at playing a triangle Offensively and defensively, their passing and control have always been excellent."

"Yeah, it's actually quite similar to Chelsea, but what they are good at is kite-flying style of play...letting a striker hang around in front, attracting firepower and attention...if this person is not the beast Drogba, But for others, he has no possibility of success at all."

"But what I'm more curious about now is, if both of their teams play defense... who will attack first?"

"..."

That's right, if both sides don't attack, how can this match go on?

When the two of them looked at each other, Mourinho below had gathered everyone together, and everyone formed a circle. He needed to adjust his tactics.

To be honest, if Juan didn't play Aimar in this game, he might really play a defensive counterattack honestly.

But how big is Aimar's target on the court?

Do not fight for nothing!

He said to his players in a low voice: "Change your tactics, and directly mark and press the whole court after entering the field!"

"Huh?" The players stared, coach, is this different from what was agreed at the beginning?

Mourinho didn't care about the stupid looks on his players' faces, but continued to say in a low voice and quickly: "Deportivo wouldn't have thought that we would suddenly decide to play full-court marking and pressing, Huh?" No matter how fast An Dias can react and command on the spot, there will always be a time gap, our chance is fleeting - Drogba, grab it, the sooner the better!"

"Yes, boss." Beast Drogba took a deep breath and nodded to express his understanding.

"The sooner we score, the better, so as to disrupt Deportivo's deployment and plans... Let's try to win this game as soon as possible."

"Aren't they able to pass the ball and love to pass and control? Then we will press the whole court and use any means to destroy their passing route and offensive rhythm! But be careful with the cards and be smart for me... This is my home court , everyone knows it! But don’t overdo it, referees can’t turn a blind eye, understand?!”

"Understood!!" The players responded with great momentum.

When the game started, the two sides immediately pressed and blocked on the field. After the opening, a small confrontation broke out in the midfield. However, Deportivo is not a vegetarian after all. In the confrontation, Riquelme will The football is passed to Gago who pulls the side.

Just as Gago was about to pick up the speed, Joe Cole on the opposite side was fouled and Deportivo got a free kick near the sideline.

Gago kicked off the ball. He looked at the situation on the field and drove the football directly into the penalty area. Portillo failed to keep up at the thick point. As a result, the ball was confiscated by Cech who was provoked.

The pace of the game seemed fast from the beginning, but it was difficult for both sides to create any chances.

Deportivo's midfield interception ability is very strong, and their players' running ability is also very good, which is the first condition for them to compete in La Liga.

In this regard, Chelsea is also a strong point.

Although Joe Cole has not been able to contribute outstanding performance, at least he is also a player who can run very well. With Makelele and Lampard, Chelsea is even better in the hardness of the midfield. Few of Coruña's players could resist.

However, in terms of the direct threat of the striker, Deportivo has already gained the upper hand.

The cooperation between Morientes and Portillo in the frontcourt is already quite tacit, and although Chelsea has the beast Drogba, what he often does is rampage in the frontcourt, unable to form with the backcourt The key tacit understanding does not have much impact on Deportivo's defense.

After all, no matter how you say it, Deportivo's defense line is now also a defense line with both strength and speed!

The game has been entangled for 10 minutes, and Deportivo's side is a little impatient. Belleron raised his head and glanced at Juan on the edge of the court, then made a gesture to the audience, and then accelerated suddenly—— —

Deportivo take the lead!

In this game, Portillo was Chelsea's key target. In the previous league and Copa del Rey, his performance was very good, and in terms of Deportivo's performance throughout the season, the games he missed were also very good. There are very few, and it can be said that he is worthy of praise in terms of diligence, hard work and seriousness.

It's not that Chelsea don't want to stare at Morientes. After all, Morientes is also a very scary existence, but after careful weighing, Mourinho still signaled that they will focus all their goals on Portillo.

After all, although Morientes is strong, once he can't get the ball, his power will drop sharply, but what about Portillo?He can run, he can defend, he can do a lot of things.

If Morientes is a peerless sword quietly waiting to kill, then Portillo is a swordsman who takes the initiative to find every opportunity, actively meets challenges, and is not afraid at all!

He is not as quiet as Morientes, with a detached coldness, he is a knife that a common man needs, the most suitable and applicable.

If it is said that Morientes is relaxed, Mourinho is actually not very worried about the threat of the goal. What he is more afraid of is Portillo's silent erosion of the defense.

Mourinho also saw this very clearly, so Bridge has been following Portillo, pestering the Spanish teenager with his height and strength, preventing him from easily getting any opportunities.

In fact, it is not difficult to keep an eye on Portillo. Although his range of activities is relatively large, most of them are still in the center position. After all, he is a center forward. If he is not in the center position at this time If it does, it will lose its deterrent effect.

What's more, although it is not an easy task to keep an eye on Portillo, it is at least much better than keeping an eye on Belleron, because his range of activities is too large.

Belleron looked at the situation on the field, and Portillo ran to meet him, and Bridge followed.

Belleron still passed the ball to Portillo under the defense of Bridge, but Portillo did not take the ball because he already felt the eyes of the people behind him, so he quickly stepped forward to face the ball. As soon as the ball was drawn, the ball was drawn back, and Gago, who followed him, kicked up and directly transferred the ball to the right!

Juan Sorin, who was on the right, decisively passed the ball directly into the penalty area. Morientes appeared on the route of the pass. Regardless of Carvalho's flying over, he still swung his right foot, intending to Forced a shot.

Cech tensed his nerves and planned to save the shot. After all, no matter how blocked Carvalho was, it was impossible to block all the angles of the shot... But something that surprised him happened!

Morientes did not choose to shoot directly!

His right foot touched the ball, and at that moment he changed the part where he touched the ball. With a flick of his ankle, he knocked the ball directly into the middle of the penalty area!

Portillo, who was inserted in the back row, got rid of Bridge's defense, and volleyed vigorously while running against the rolling ball!

The ball quickly flew into Chelsea's gate sticking to the ground, Cech's attention was on Morientes, and it was too late when he turned around!

More than 3000 Deportivo fans immediately gave a huge cheer, celebrating the arrival of their first goal!

They were very nervous at the beginning of the game. They didn't expect the first goal to come so fast!

When Morientes, Portillo and their teammates hugged together, Juan clapped and smiled, showing no signs of excitement.

It's just a ball, and it's not time to get carried away.
