football's most handsome

Chapter 137

Goals from Fernando Gago and Portillo gave Deportivo a two-goal lead, but only three minutes later, Arsenal's young striker Robin van Persie gave the Gunners hope again.

Campbell competed with Andrade and Capdevila on the edge of Deportivo's penalty area, but the ball fell and was caught by Bergkamp. He raised his eyes to observe the frontcourt, and suddenly he was 20 meters away from the goal. From a distance, he shoots with his left foot, and the colorful football goes straight into the dead corner!

Diego Lopez failed to react at all. Bergkamp's furious shot was almost comparable to the world wave. Even if Buffon or Casillas stood in front of the goal, there was nothing wrong with this goal. way.

For this conceded goal, Juan is convinced.

This is completely a manifestation of the individual abilities of the players, and this is the fact-once the superstars have the space and time to play, they will not be able to survive at all.

However, even knowing that the opponent has very strong world-class players, Juan still signaled everyone to continue to attack during the halftime adjustment and rest, and not to think about other things.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Deportivo's city gate once again declared a fall!

The second goal was Henry. His breakthrough was too fast. In the absence of a strong midfielder like Redondo on the court, the entire defense was passed through almost immediately, and Van Persie sent it over. The beautiful through ball made it very easy for him to poke and score in the penalty area, allowing Arsenal to equalize the score when they were two goals behind!

"Deportivo is dangerous... well, well, not really." Frank complained to himself, "To be honest, I want to know one thing right now. La Coruña gave them a 5:2 at home. , so at this moment he is going to return a 2:2 draw?"

"No, you may have underestimated him a little bit." Dean sighed softly, "Go ahead, La Coruña must be more than that at the moment."

"I also know that Deportivo will definitely not let it go like this, but you are not unaware of Arsenal. Once they go crazy, it is difficult to control."

"...Look carefully." Dean glanced at Frank helplessly, "The mental outlook of the players on both sides of Arsenal and Deportivo is already different."

"Huh?" Frank was taken aback, then lowered his head to look at the small screens in front of him.

Indeed, it seemed that La Coruña was going to be in big trouble, but after ten minutes, not only were they safe and sound, but they seemed to be gaining the upper hand...

"Arsenal is indeed attacking now, but their offensive ability has dropped a lot." Dean continued with a light cough, "Neither side belongs to the kind of team that can fight for physical strength, but Deportivo is waiting for work, and In the midfield, Juan Dias has come up with enough places to allocate, which is to make them a little more economical in midfield than Arsenal."

"And the most important thing is... Look carefully, in the back and forth sprinting and entanglement just now, the Deportivo players have always adhered to the policy of running less and passing more, while saving energy to the greatest extent, Drain Arsenal's stamina."

"It's worth mentioning that Deportivo also used the same tactic in the last match at Highbury Stadium, but... the professor fell for it again."

Wenger also found that he was fooled again. After recovering two goals in a row, although Arsenal were still attacking, their offensive strength obviously dropped a lot. Not only did they fail to successfully play against Deportivo in the midfield , but gradually fell into a disadvantage...

In the 60th minute of the game, Deportivo finally succeeded in the storm. Belleron made a cross from the side. Gago overwhelmed the opponent's defender with a header. A beautiful volley scored this goal!

Deportivo lead again!

After Deportivo took the lead again, Arsenal failed to show their previous crazy offensive momentum again. It was not until Wenger replaced three physically weak players in a row at the last point that most of the people present reacted—— Arsenal's physical strength has been almost exhausted.

"No wonder Arsenal has been passively beaten at the moment. The expression on Wenger's face should not be too heavy... In the current situation, Deportivo's total score is 8:4 Arsenal, and there are 10 minutes left in the game. If Arsenal If you can score 10 goals in a row in the next 4 minutes, there is still a possibility of turning defeat into victory..."

Speaking of this, Franco Hedean glanced at each other. As an old partner, Dean took the topic very understandingly: "But this is almost impossible. We can see that in the game In the first 10 minutes, Deportivo and Arsenal were almost two sides, you attacked once and I attacked once, and the rhythm of offense and defense changed quickly."

"After Deportivo took a two-goal lead, Arsenal attacked more frequently, while Deportivo recovered their defenses to save energy. This changed. In the second half, Arsenal completely lost the chance to confront Deportivo. capital."

Seeing that Wenger had rotated three people, Juan looked at the situation on the field and also chose to make consecutive substitutions. Diego Forlan replaced Morientes, and Lionel Messi replaced his chin. Aimar and Thiago Silva replace Juan Riquelme as Deportivo continue to keep the pressure on Arsenal up front.

At this moment, Deportivo has 100% confirmed a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, so at the end of the game, it is normal for Juan to let some young people come up to practice and experience the Champions League.

Especially in the No.803 minute of the game, super substitute Diego Forlan scored Deportivo's fourth goal of the game, which completely established Arsenal's exit.

After the substitution, Juan has returned to his position and chatted with his assistant coach Allen, with a relaxed expression on his face.

In the contest between two aggressive teams, Deportivo finally had the last laugh!

In this game, Deportivo has no serious injuries, is in good physical condition, has a positive mentality, and is in excellent condition. They played a wave of real strength directly at home. This team is as deceptive as their coach looks Completely, Arsenal, who accidentally fell into the trap, became the biggest victim.

After the game, the English media used "Deportivo's upset" to describe the game, but the Spanish media laughed at it.

"May I ask if the English media are getting watery due to the rain every day? Is there any problem with La Liga's first victory over Premier League No.4? This is still called unpopular. We really don't understand the English media. idea."

There is no detailed comparative analysis of these words, and even a bit of data is not provided, but it is clear at a glance-Serie A has dominated these years, and the Premier League and La Liga have refused to accept anyone, and there is still a little gap between the two sides.

When being interviewed in the mixed area, Juan still had that cold expression, but now no one thinks he is "indifferent". Shine like a star.

That is, the dogs who saw the fleshy bones, the sharks that smelled fishy, ​​and the reporters who foresaw the headlines! !

"Dias! What you said before the game..."

"Dias, what do you think of this game..."

"Dias!!"

However, no matter who it was, no matter how hoarsely he shouted, Juan did not stop his footsteps. He passed directly in front of everyone. The players who were still interviewed by media reporters in the mixed interview area, After seeing Juan, he immediately closed his mouth and followed, without looking back.

"What's the situation?" Most people were stunned. After all, it is normal for the head coach to pass by when the players are being interviewed. However, Juan just passed by. Just don't turn your head back? ?

Seeing that the whole Deportivo team quickly disappeared at the entrance of the passage, the reporters could only put down their cameras in disappointment and started chatting with each other.

"Is Juan the magic flute...?" There is a famous fairy tale in Europe, as long as a magic flute appears and blows the flute, all the children in the town will follow him away, completely subconsciously Behavior, this is exactly the same as Juan now.

"Compared to the person playing the magic flute, I think he is more like a tyrant. After all, his players are not all children..."

"Tyrant? How to explain?"

"You think, he was so aggressive before the start of the game, and it was obvious that he was strict with his subordinates, and he seemed to be very disciplined. He was in charge of almost the entire Deportivo club. You said Does it look like a tyrant?"

"Well... so to speak... it seems that there is really a little..."

The reporters at the scene looked at each other, and they all saw excitement in each other's eyes.

Even if Juan Diaz didn't say anything, it's still big news! !

And actually?Juan hurried over just because he and Casillas made an appointment to call soon, and tonight he also wanted to check on Sir Alex, and comfort his little teammates by the way—

At the same time this evening, Manchester United played against AC Milan at home in the second round, and he already knew the score.

0:2, as usual, the host and the guest.

In the first round of the game, Manchester United also lost 1:2 away to AC Milan, and the Red Devils' Champions League trip in the 04-05 season came to an end.

At the same time, Manchester United also has a difficult brother, that is Real Madrid.

I don't know if Real Madrid is a bit of a loser this season, and this season they died in the top [-]. The title of Champions League Sixteen is finally sitting firmly.

I don't know if they were unlucky this season. They met the old lady Juventus in the quarter-finals. You must know that Juventus is not a vegetarian!

在第一回合主场艰难1：0战胜了对方之后，到了客场的皇马被斑马军团毫不客气地撸了个2:0，惯例主前客后，以总比分1:2的结果输掉了比赛。

Thinking that he had two people to comfort him, Juan felt a headache, his face naturally became ugly, and the players who saw his face dared to continue talking?All of them ran fast behind him, but Juan didn't pay attention, and was immersed in his own thoughts.

After the victory, the locker room was quiet. Allen looked around and felt very uncomfortable, so he coughed lightly: "Juan?"

"Huh?" Juan was still thinking about how to talk to Cristiano, and answered a little casually.

"The game is over, don't you have anything to say to everyone?"

Hearing what Allen said, Juan looked up in a daze, and found that everyone in the locker room was looking at him eagerly.

"Everyone performed very well in today's game. I have nothing to say." Juan coughed lightly.

"..." Everyone looked at him in silence.

Then you kept quiet all the way? !

Facing everyone's unkind expressions, Hu Jing was silent for a while and said: "Well, no matter what, today's performance is really good. Take a day off tomorrow and start preparing for the Barcelona game the day after tomorrow."

"Oh!!" As soon as it was said that there was a holiday, the expressions of all the players became clear.

These poor players, except for the winter break and summer break, are basically open all year round, and it is worth cherishing to get a day's respite during the intensive schedule!

After giving everyone a holiday, Juan sat down again, played with his mobile phone, and finally made up his mind - don't call, just send text messages, he is afraid that he will feel uneasy when he hears those two people collapse. feel good.

"how do you feel?"

A message, sent to two people, there was no response from Cristiano, and Casillas quickly replied with a "terrible :(" to him.

Juan waited patiently for a while. After all, Ferguson has strict control over Cristiano's side. Generally speaking, mobile phones are not allowed in the locker room, so he just has the mentality of giving it a try, while Casillas' here ...

The main thing is that he knows that Casillas must have a lot of complaints to say at this moment. He estimates that it is impossible to call him on the return bus, and what's more terrible...

Igor Casillas, admittedly handicapped, typing is real slow.

Sure enough, after waiting almost 2 minutes, Casillas' second text message arrived late.

"Juventus' two goals were obviously avoidable, but Salgado was responsible for my sight, and Samuel was responsible for assisting other strikers. I was really devastated!!"

Just looking at this line of words, Juan could feel the teenager's anger, and he couldn't help smiling: "Have you changed your jersey with Buffon?"

"It's changed! I forced Raul to change it for me hehehe... After all, if the captains of the two teams change their jerseys, he will definitely give it!"

"...Why don't you change it yourself?"

"I went, I went with Raul, and I took a photo with him afterwards!"

Casillas is now completely out of the Champions League, so he is relaxed, but Juan can't laugh anymore.

Juventus's 27-year-old goalkeeper Buffon is at his peak. Although it is not impossible to say that he has no solution, his stable and terrible performance has caused headaches for all teams.

If Deportivo really face Juventus, Buffon is the most difficult hurdle they have to face.

Of course, the defense of Juventus itself is also particularly astonishing. Juan thought for a while. At present, all the top eight have been produced, Deportivo, AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Chelsea, Olympic Lyon, Bayern Munich , to be honest, all opponents are not good.

Casillas also knew that none of Deportivo's possible opponents would be good, so he was very worried about the situation in their team, and Juan coughed lightly.

There is no high-pressure policy, no serious atmosphere, and it is not like "the whole team is like a training camp" imagined by Casillas.

Their whole team lives in a very cheerful atmosphere every day, and most of the players are not so delicate. Everyone is careless and doesn't take the game very seriously.

No matter who the opponent is, as long as you work hard to win, it's right.

However, Casillas' worries are not superfluous. After all, there are quite a lot of boys in Deportivo who have no experience in the Champions League. If they can't adapt to such a dense schedule, there may still be time to adapt.

What he worries most is not the issue of adaptability, but whether the players of Deportivo can hold on.

——Because soon, the international competition day will also start.

There are many international players in Deportivo's team. Although some of them are still young and only sit on the bench when they go, there is also no lack of main players in the national youth team. So looking at it this way, Deportivo may be empty. Drop half.

And now their third-line battles have reached a critical time. If they just went to the international friendly match and caused players to be injured, then Juan would have nowhere to cry.

Of course, no matter how you say it, Deportivo hasn't had any problems right now, and all he thinks about is to prevent problems before they happen.

And the next game is against Barcelona, ​​so how can you think about other things?

Just when Juan and Casillas were chatting about some gossip about the team, a new text message came, and Juan opened it.

"Juan Juan, I was guarded to death today!"

"..." Juan was speechless for a while, and then replied: "Then you are so happy?"

"I'm not happy but excited. AC Milan's defense is too ruthless. I was directly shoveled out of the field by Gattuso!"

"Are you hurt?"

"Fortunately, it hurts a bit when I hit the billboard. Fortunately, Gattuso was seriously injured. Their team doctor came here, so I can borrow some medicine to spray it."

Juan thought he had misunderstood. He looked at Cristiano's words for a long time before hesitating to reply: "Their team doctor?"

"Yeah, I told their team doctor that I was also injured and gave me some medicine, and their team doctor helped me deal with it... The team doctor of Manchester United just came to see me!"

Juan was a little helpless, he finally found out that his teammate might not be aware of being an opponent.

"By the way, my lord asked me how you are today, and I said you're all right, do you want to call him?"

Juan felt that something was wrong, but he quickly agreed: "Got it."

But to be honest, he really felt a little nervous about talking to the Sir, after all, he really couldn't figure out what the Sir was thinking.

So after hesitating for a while, he decided that it would be better to live than to die, and not to call for now...

Both of them are about to get on the plane, let's fight again when we go back!

However, after such a moment of hesitation, he received a message.

"Kathy's making eel jelly tomorrow."

—Sender, Alex Ferguson.

Juan smiled wryly.

Sir Alex's invitation is really awkward and eclectic!

However, he quickly returned a message: "Can I have the honor to taste it?"

The phone was silent for a long time, but the lord still gave him an answer. Juan looked down at the "Come" on the phone, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Even most of the players have come out of the shower, Allen came to call him, Juan looked down at the phone, put it in his pocket and smiled: "All Deportivo are disbanded on the spot, I'm going to do something .”

"Boss, can I go and play with you tomorrow?" David Louis was eager to try, and now the weather is getting hotter. There is an open-air swimming pool in the backyard of Juan's house. His favorite thing is to take a dip in it. all day.

Very comfortable!

"I may not be at home tomorrow, and I have to go out." Juan said very easily, "But the boss has my key, if you want to play, tell the boss, let the boss open the door for you. .”

"..."

After Juan said this, he quickly walked out of the locker room, and Morientes chased him out in two or three steps: "Juan."

"Ok?"

"Where are you going?"

"Airport."

"Then I'll go with you."

"...?"

Facing Juan's bewildered face, Morientes said naturally: "I'm going to see Raul. He used to go to Monaco to see me. Now it's my turn to see him."

Juan nodded knowingly: "Since this is the case, it's just right, the two of us are on the same plane."

Morientes froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

When Raul came to pick up the plane, he was a little confused when he saw the two people talking and laughing: "Juan?"

"Raul, long time no see." Juan waved his hand naturally, "Can you take me to Igor's house on the way?"

"Uh..." Raul looked at the security checkpoint, "To tell you the truth, Igor and Guti just passed the security check...the plane to A Coruña."

"..." Juan opened his mouth, turned around and left. "Where are you going, Juan?!"

"Buy a ticket and go back to La Coruña!"

"Wait, hey, don't worry...!" Raul and Morientes grabbed him directly, "Wait a minute, don't be impulsive!"

"Let go, now I can still catch the same flight." Juan took a deep breath, and turned around to book a ticket, but was hugged head-on.

"It turns out that Guti read it right, you are really here..."

"I can't ask you to find me every time, can I?" Juan replied with a smile, then frowned. "Igor, don't hug my neck, I'm so tired from bending over."

"..."

Raul and Morientes, a pair of good friends who have not quarreled for a hundred years, finally watched the "domestic violence" scene for the first time. Raul watched with emotion: "Moro, you said that when you fought with me in the past, Juan is so easy to fight?"

"No." Master Mo is usually straightforward, and at the end he added, "At this moment, his combat effectiveness is not as high as Guti's."

The five of them habitually use each other as the basic unit, that is, the lowest person is a unit point. For example, Guti is the least able to fight among them, so they use Guti as the basic unit, for example, "I can fight at once. Two goodies!" "I can hit three!"

...Of course, it is inevitable that Guti will blow his hair when he is fine... However, his combat power is really reflected in his mouth. In the past, Guti's mantra was "I can say ten at a time like Moreau!"

The current time in Spain is not a night, but the rhythm of the nightlife just beginning. There are few people at the airport, but some people have noticed the situation here.

Raul is more conspicuous than ordinary stars in Spain. Seeing that he was about to cause a commotion, he immediately cooperated with Morientes, and the two of them pulled up one by one and ran away, so as not to be surrounded by the crowd. unlucky...

"Actually, according to the regulations, Juan should not be able to meet with us at this time, after all, you are the head coach." While driving, Raul turned around and made fun of: "And Real Madrid is actually not in a good mood at the moment. Well, you know it too, Ou Guan Shiliu Lang."

When talking about this, even Raul was a little helpless, but he quickly came back to his senses: "Speaking of which, your results this year are really great."

"It's okay..." Juan said a little politely, and Casillas stared at him from the side: "Is this okay??"

In the third-line battle, Deportivo has not fallen behind and has maintained a good state. Moreover, among the four teams in La Liga to participate in the Champions League, Barcelona and Real Madrid have fallen in the top [-], while Valencia is even worse. Didn't even make it out of the group stage...

In contrast, Deportivo, the newest team, has reached the quarter-finals all the way, it is simply incredible, okay?

But now the media are not very optimistic about Deportivo, and think that Deportivo will lose every time, but every time Deportivo has not fulfilled their wishes.

Now the media have discovered that the more Deportivo scolds, the more slapped their results will be. They really don't know what the team is thinking.

——The quarterfinals, a new team, isn’t La Liga really a joke?

However, Deportivo's current performance is really great, so no matter how reluctant the Spanish media are, they will cheer for the only surviving team in their local league to save their character.

Except World Sports Daily.

"Speaking of which, do you know that someone shouted at you again in Barcelona?"

"I don't know, and I haven't subscribed to World Sports Daily." Facing Raul's question, Juan answered very confidently.

I really don't know!

Raul laughed and shook his head: "Yes, it's nothing important anyway, and it doesn't matter if you don't know."

"I'm a little interested when you say that." Juan poked Casillas beside him, "Igor, you must know, tell me about it?"

"It's nothing..." Casillas muttered, he did know, and he had a few friends in Barcelona. Both he and Raul belonged to the kind of people who have friends all over the world. "It's just saying that your grades are nothing but water, and you were recommended to the quarter-finals all the way. Otherwise, it's impossible for your grades to have such good grades..."

"Okay." Juan rubbed his forehead helplessly, "I just want to know who said such stupid words."

"Rijkaard." When the name was mentioned, Raul's tone was a little bit bad, "He focused on targeting us and you, maybe he still thinks that he didn't lose badly enough."

Barcelona's loss was indeed a tragic one. They were double-killed just like Manchester United, and what's more, it was Mourinho's Chelsea who double-killed them.

To say that they are miserable is because Chelsea is also a team that has just regrouped this season. Their head coach is Porto's champion coach Mourinho. After these two games, Barcelona injured two people in a row, one of them Just Ronaldinho...

The British tough guy style of play lives up to its reputation!Chelsea is also good at playing the bus. This time Barcelona played so aggrieved. After all, I don't know what's going on at the moment.

Barcelona's next game is against Deportivo—to emphasize, it is Deportivo who has almost no injuries and is in very good condition during the game.

And that's it, Rijkaard still talks about Deportivo?

Wasn't he really out of his mind?

"Okay, okay, whatever he says." Juan waved his hand casually, "Everything will be decided after the game between Deportivo and Barcelona."

The four of them laughed maliciously in the car.

"Speaking of which, Juan, you have been very tough recently, are you going to make any big moves?" Raul asked casually, and Juan couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, don't tease me, you know that I am such a person."

"Of course I know, but you never behave like that in public, and I thought you would hide your true nature until you die." Raul smiled back with a lazy smile.

Raul sent the two of them back to Casillas' home. They had a Deportivo head coach here. He said that tomorrow must be a holiday, unlike the two people on Real Madrid's side. With some pitiful meaning in it——

Real Madrid's Champions League is over. Deportivo Deportivo defeated the Copa del Rey in the first round. It is estimated that the second round will be even worse. They will shift the focus of the game to the league. As for the Copa del Rey, they will work harder. look……

Do everything you can, know the destiny.

However, because the pressure of the current schedule has become less, Real Madrid does not have any holidays at the moment. Unfortunately, Raul and the others have to continue training tomorrow, which sounds tragic.

So even if Morientes and Juan came to Madrid to see their little (careful) partners (people), they still can only stay at home peacefully, sleep well and get enough sleep tomorrow and continue to Valdebeba This is the serious business.

"Speaking of it," while lying on the bed, Casillas suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said, "Luxenberg is very angry."

"What's so angry about him?" Juan casually combed his hair behind his head with his mobile phone, "How can you blame others for your lack of strength?"

"No...he seems to be angry that Deportivo's grades are better than ours, after all you know..."

"Of course I know." Juan narrowed his eyes in trouble.

"The head coaches of the entire La Liga...or, the head coaches of the entire football world, all think that I am a different person, and they all think that I am not from the same world as them. After all, the age difference is here..."

"Then, then you..."

"I'm not sad, and I don't have anything to say. After all, it's the truth... At my age, they may still be fighting for the main position." He yawned, "I am special, they What you think has nothing to do with me."

To be honest, Juan just wanted to reply to Rijkaard's words - anyway, the quarterfinals are a little stronger than you in the quarterfinals. If you have the ability, Barcelona will fight Arsenal, and the Gunners will be exhausted just by attacking. Barcelona defender.

However, considering the mood of his little friend—the top eight, his mentor—unlucky, and also the top eight, he finally didn't say this, because harmony is the priority after all.

When he woke up the next morning, Casillas drove Juan to the airport. He was a little reluctant. After all, at first he thought Juan would stay here all day, but Juan's face was very heavy.

"I did a really egregious prank and now I'm going to apologize."

"Who?" Casillas asked this purely out of curiosity. Juan is usually very measured in pranks. How could he suddenly go too far?

"Do you remember the last time I went to ask for Beckham's jersey?" Juan sighed softly, "I asked him to write 'happy every day, smooth work'...then I delivered it to Sir Alex."

"..." Casillas was dumbfounded.
