Chapter 252
Chapter 252
There was chaos on the field, and Juan was standing off the field with a face as cold as ice.
He never expected that in the first game of the new season, Deportivo would be treated like this.
——What's even more ironic is that the one who got off was a Portuguese, and the one who fell to the ground at this moment was their Portuguese captain.
The fans of Deportivo were obviously stunned, and they reacted after being silent for a while, and they jumped into a rage, pointing at the pitch and cursing.
"Castro, are you still human? The captain of his own national team has such a cruel kick!"
"Despicable! Shameless! Dirty!"
"How can you do such a thing!"
Juan was silent on the sidelines, but he didn't look at Castro, but just stared closely at Figo.
The Portuguese captain lay on the ground, bared his teeth for a long time and couldn't stand up, he was very worried.
Belleron was already beside Figo at this time, bent down and said a few words to him, the two seemed to have exchanged some words, then turned around and ran back here.
As soon as Juan saw Belleron's expression, he knew that there was nothing wrong with Figo at this time, but he subconsciously asked: "How is it?"
After all, Figo is very special to him. The captain of the national team has been taking care of him since he joined the national team. He is more meticulous than the big brother caring about the younger brother. For this, Juan has always been very grateful In my heart, when I heard that he might be injured at this moment, my heart suddenly became agitated.
Beleron covered his mouth very cautiously: "It's nothing serious, it's just a little pain in the flesh, it's already been relieved..."
After a pause, he continued, "What do you think the referee will do?"
"After all, this game is the first game of the season. I don't know how the penalty will be imposed." Juan shook his head and glanced in Castro's direction.
That is also his senior from the national team, but how could he do such a thing?
Castro also noticed his gaze, and gave him a faint smile. No matter how you looked at it, there seemed to be an inexplicable meaning in that smile. Juan was taken aback, and became thoughtful.
However, before he could think of anything, he heard the referee whistle and then made a gesture.
He raised a red card.
Ze Castro, sent off in the 6th minute of the game!
No one expected that the penalty in the first game would be so severe, and Castro is a player who just transferred from Coimbra in the Portuguese Super League this year. Atletico Madrid originally had a crush on him. Great hope, who knew he would do such a thing in the first game!
It’s just that Juan felt that his expression just now was very meaningful. If he really wanted to send Figo off the field, then to be honest, no one could stop him-this destructive power, all inside the Portuguese national team I know it very well, how could I be merciful?
And now, since Belleron has already said that it is just ordinary pain, there must be something hidden in it, but it is not convenient for him to say it for the time being.
What else can a player feel uncomfortable saying?
Of course it was the arrangement and plan of the head coach!
Juan's eyes were ten times colder. He silently glanced at Atletico Madrid's coaching bench and found that Murcia was also looking at him, but after noticing his gaze, he immediately turned his head away. Pretend to be paying attention to what's going on on the pitch.
"Ah……"
Allen, who was closest to Juan, seemed to hear a sneer. He thought he had heard it wrong, rubbed his ears, subconsciously looked at Juan, and was shocked.
The expression on Juan's face now is like a spring breeze, no matter how you look at it, it seems that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, but that's not what they say in those eyes...
Allen shuddered again, and took two steps away silently.
He's not stupid either. He knew something was wrong after what Belleron said just now. Obviously his head coach discovered something.
...Could it be that this game is really going to be a close match between Deportivo and Atletico Madrid?
After Castro left the field, Murcia said a few words to him, and then turned his head to look at the field. He thought he would see Deportivo's substitution, but he only saw Filipino. Ge stood up slowly, then moved his feet, ran a few steps with a limp, and finally looked like a normal person.
? !!
Unlike Murcia's stunned, Deportivo has already begun to discuss who is responsible for kicking the penalty.
Castro exposed the studs, it was too conspicuous, obviously, a red card is impossible to quell the anger, the referee added another penalty, so in the 7th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid's goal was about to be attacked. to the threat.
Cuellar almost wanted to smile bitterly standing in front of the goal.
There were several people talking around the penalty spot in front of him, as if they were arguing over the ownership of the penalty kick, and taking a closer look at those people——
Figo, Belleron, Riquelme, Aimar, Maniche, Rui Costa.
All of them are master-level midfielders, and all of them are good penalty kick players. No matter who comes, the pressure on them is as great.
In fact, it's not just the psychological pressure those people put on him, he himself is also under some pressure.
Murcia's arrangements and plans were still ringing in his ears. He took a deep breath and suppressed his beating heart.
'It's okay, it's okay, isn't it unsuccessful?Fortunately, Castro, the newcomer, was the first to do it. Fortunately, it didn't work...Murcia has gone crazy! '
When he was so self-comforting and self-psychological hypnosis, the people on the other side had obviously been selected, and the people around him dispersed, and only one person was still standing there.
Cuellar just looked up and took a deep breath.
The man standing there was Figo himself.
As we all know, this sharp striker has a very good name. In his peak period, countless midfielder defenders couldn't stop him at all.
Likewise, he couldn't stop his shot.
With a sound of "swipe", the football almost brushed his ears and entered the goal, and the linesman raised the flag to signal.
The goal is valid!
"Gooooal! 1:0! Deportivo scored the first goal!" Frank laughed, "Congratulations to Deportivo for their first game of the new season. It seems that they will go well this season too! "
Dean frowned: "I just think there is a problem... What is Atletico Madrid going to do, is a Super Cup worth their efforts?"
"Oh, I think you must have a wrong feeling. Isn't Castro new here? So there must be some people who are not used to making such an action!" Frank said carelessly without thinking too much.
"Maybe." Dean nodded.
After this goal, Deportivo did not celebrate. After all, the penalty came so inexplicably. Who knew that this was just a Super Cup, and it was the first round. Why does the competition have such measures.
Is it really just Castro's own problem?
The game continued, and Atletico Madrid also cared about the referee after all, so they didn't make any moves in a short period of time, which seemed very honest.
But they were honest, and La Coruña was not honest—why be honest?Didn't they have a great kick just now?
Deportivo does not play any foul tactics here. Under the command of Belleron, Riquelme and Aimar, Deportivo started to operate again.
"We can see that Deportivo seems to have started their previous lineup again. If they still have the same formation as last season, this season may not be very easy." Frank is quite worried, although Deportivo The lineup of last season can be described as varied, but I have to say that if we only focus on the essence, we can still find ways to crack and restrain it.
Don't you see, did Deportivo actually have several tough games last season?
Atletico Madrid, as one of the first clubs to play against Deportivo, obviously has a lot of understanding of Deportivo's lineup and tactics. If Deportivo still uses the tactics of last season at this time, it is obviously correct In their arms.
However, to everyone's surprise, after only one round of passing, Deportivo's speed suddenly accelerated!
To be honest, no one thought that Deportivo would actually speed up. After all, although they themselves can pass at high speed and high frequency in their own formation, due to the speed limit of the players themselves, Deportivo needs to The players maintain a formation, so generally speaking, Deportivo's overall actions are still very slow, enough to give the opposing team some time to react.
But today, Deportivo's speed has increased to an astonishing level almost in the blink of an eye, and even the La Liga fans who are used to the speed of the Galacticos are amazed at the same time.
fast!
too fast!
Deportivo's almost anti-big pass control and almost abnormal ball possession rate last season seem to be gone. Belleron, Aimar and Riquelme are in control of the center, and the football is almost at their feet. It goes away in a flash, every kick is conveyed as concisely as possible, and it is delivered straight forward, basically there is no possibility of returning.
Even if it is a pass back, it is a pass back to Rui Costa and Maniche. These two people have very good long passes and can send the ball back to the frontcourt in an instant.
Under the pressure of such a formation, Atletico Madrid obviously couldn't respond.
People are still these people, but after changing a core, the whole La Coruña has shown a different style!
Figo and Quaresma are responsible for one left and one right, attacking decisively, shuttling back and forth in Atletico Madrid's lineup.
One side is old and hot, and the other side is young and fearless. This combination of one old and one young has caused a lot of trouble for Atletico Madrid.
As Atletico Madrid's striker and the core of the current attack, Torres originally didn't need to participate in any defensive behavior. As a result, his lineup was disturbed by these two people and he could only be forced to return to defense, which is impressive.
Juan narrowed his eyes, glanced in the direction of Torres, and gestured towards the backcourt, and the backcourt responded immediately.
Valente and Andrade stayed behind, Maniche and Rui Costa moved forward.
The difference is that Rui Costa pushed forward with almost the entire defensive line, just like Redondo pushed the entire Deportivo front forward. Although the method was different, it also had a considerable effect , Suddenly, Atletico Madrid's frontcourt became more tense.
On the other side, Maniche went to Torres.
Torres is entangled with Quaresma at this time, and the Spanish teenager's idea is also very simple.
Since the old one can't be entangled, it's okay to entangle the young one at the head office, right?
However, Torres thought too beautifully. He may not know that there is a saying that "beat the young ones and come out old"...
Although this kind of situation is rare on the court, it is not impossible. Quaresma is being pestered by him. He just wanted to open his mouth and shout, "Why are you pestering me, a striker?", but his eyes lit up.
Seeing the change in his expression, Torres immediately felt bad, but before he had time to react, Quaresma started running in three steps and two steps.
Torres hurriedly wanted to catch up, but he stopped after only two steps.
The person standing in front of him was no longer Quaresma, but a grinning Maniche.
Maniche himself was also very sincere, covered his mouth and said a very kind word: "Boy, I'll play with you."
Torres raised his eyebrows, and was about to say something, but Maniche waved his hand impatiently: "If I'm playing tricks, I'll just use Castro's method again, but I'm not that stupid, I promise you It went down quietly, and I have nothing to do, believe it or not?"
Torres tilted his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Juan on the sidelines, wondering if this was what he meant, and in the end he got a kind smile from the little coach of Deportivo.
Immediately he understood everything, and he became honest instantly.
Okay, it seems that that person is really angry...
Juan didn't feel that he had anything, but continued to direct the actions of the Deportivo team.
In fact, at this time, Deportivo doesn't need him to do too much command. At this speed, the players have no time to look to the side of the court.
But what I have to say is that these people rushed out together, and the power they brought out was terrifying.
Juan almost watched Atletico Madrid's defense line being cut to pieces by these magical weapons, most of them were lingering, and the only special place was near Simeone.
Juan raised his eyebrows seeing that Simeone seemed to be very tight.
Who cares whether you are strict or not, Deportivo's main goal is not to tear up Atletico Madrid's defense.
——Their main goal is the goal behind!
If it weren't for people like Simeone who happened to be blocking the goal, Juan probably would have ignored them.
But is it useful to be stuck here?
At this time, Rui Costa had already led Acruna's entire army to suppress the border, and the entire Atletico Madrid half was crowded with people. After making sure that nothing would happen, he ran forward by himself.
The speed is not fast, but it does hold its head high, coupled with Rui Costa's handsome appearance, he is indescribably chic and casual.
Seeing him running here, the expression on Simeone's face changed, but he wanted to get his players ready to start defending, but before he could finish his sentence, the football had already reached Rui Costa's underfoot.
This midfield master has world-class good footwork, and it is because of him that he has achieved the reputation of Barty, the God of War. After receiving the ball, Rui Costa glanced at the field in front of him calmly, and then smiled for a moment.
Simeone has been paying attention to his expression, and found that his eyes paused in the upper right corner of the goal, and suddenly shouted: "Attention everyone, the upper right corner—"
Before he could finish shouting, he was blocked by himself.
Rui Costa did not choose to shoot!His eyes did pause at the upper right corner of the goal, but he chose to pass the ball, and the direction of the pass was to the left, where there was already a person waiting!
Figo!
The Portuguese captain suffered such inexplicable treatment when he came on the field in the first half. Obviously, he still held his breath in his heart. A penalty kick cannot be eliminated, and it is a leg lift directly at the goal.
The football took off lightly again, and crashed into the upper right corner of Atletico Madrid's goal without any fireworks!
It was indeed in the upper right corner. Simeone's judgment was not wrong, but unfortunately, he misjudged the person who shot the goal.
"Gooooal! Luis Figo! Deportivo 2:0 Atletico Madrid!" Frank was incoherent in excitement, "The game has only started 10 minutes, and Deportivo has already scored two goals. What kind of madness!"
Dean shook his head aside: "I don't know how crazy it is, but I really want to know why La Crunia has such a huge change!"
Quite a change indeed, and there doesn't seem to be even a hint of jerky, how is that possible? !
Last season, Deportivo's speed was very slow, and every shot was so powerful that the oppressive opposing team could hardly react and could only bow their heads, but what about this season?
The two anchors were almost dumbfounded when Deportivo's speed was raised instantly.
With the speed and lightness of a butterfly wearing a flower, even when scoring a goal, it is light and fluffy. It looks very understated but full of murderous intent.
This is almost a formation of two styles. How could Deportivo have completely transformed themselves in a short period of time? !
Juan breathed a sigh of relief watching from the edge of the court. In fact, the formation of Deportivo has not been practiced very well. Just like last season, this formation probably has a prototype. Relying on actual combat experience to slowly explore and adapt.
Moreover, their actions at this time were only showing off their power a little bit, not fully showing it, and not breaking their own plan, which reassured Juan.
Atletico Madrid was obviously shocked by such a change in Deportivo, and they were almost frightened for the next time, but in the following time, Deportivo seemed to be slow, which was a little bit Give them some courage and move on.
——Obviously, the game has only started for such a short period of time, so what if two goals are scored?They still have a chance to win it back!
However, it is impossible for Juan to give them this opportunity. After all, at the beginning, the head coach of Atletico Madrid has already shown that he wants to fight with Deportivo. sworn enemy.
If this is the case, why does La Coruña give them face?
So under Juan's instruction, the old Coruña's midfield trio began to operate at high speed again. They streamlined their passes. Within, the football is sent to the front field.
At the beginning, it was a bit jerky to do this, but then everyone got used to it soon, and even when the next goal happened, everyone still felt very natural.
It seems as if the ball has been passed into the opponent's goal after a few passes.
Frank and Dean were stunned again.
"how can that be?"
"12345... just now Deportivo scored a goal, and it took a total of seven passes!" Dean took a deep breath, "This is simply unbelievable... You know that Deportivo would rather use seventy passes last season. A pass for a safe goal!"
"It's true. Last season, Deportivo's pass was almost enough to make people faint. Why did they suddenly change their nature this season?"
"What's more frightening is not the sex change...but that they use this classic tactic faster and more skillfully than last season. How is this possible?"
4-4-2 is indeed a very classic tactic, but it is a bit strange for Deportivo to use it. It doesn't look like 442?
...It's a bit of a 4-3-3 instead.
Of course, they are not the only ones who feel this way. Others also feel that Deportivo seems to have a midfielder who has quietly pushed to the front.
However, the midfielder is not a fixed person. Sometimes it is Belleron, sometimes it is Riquelme, and sometimes it is replaced by Aimar. The three people have almost completely different effects in the front. It makes Atletico madrid every time.
Seeing Atletico Madrid like this, Frank sighed.
"Deportivo has risen, but when will it be Atletico Madrid's turn to rise?"
"I don't know when Atletico Madrid will rise, but it probably won't be under the leadership of such a head coach." Dean pointed out.
After Deportivo's second goal, Murcia seemed to be a little confused. Seeing that Atletico Madrid seemed to be beaten back by Deportivo a little bit, he suddenly panicked and stood He commanded loudly from the edge of the court, his face was so hideous no matter how he looked.
"In the previous few seasons, Murcia led Atletico Madrid from the relegation zone to the middle level of La Liga...He is indeed a good coach who leads the lower teams to climb up."
Dean spoke very calmly, Frank glanced at him and stretched his voice: "But——"
Dean sighed: "However, his ability is nothing more than that. He can lead the team to the middle level, but he can't lead the team to the top."
"A coach's ability represents the height he can go, and Murcia... can only go so far."
It was a pity when he said this. After all, Atletico Madrid has great potential, but it is really unable to develop due to the economic level.
... Compared with Atletico Madrid, Deportivo seems to be too lucky.
How on earth did they think of finding a young man who was only 21 years old as their head coach?
