football's most handsome

Perhaps it is precisely because Deportivo's luck is better today. The home locker room, the home side, and the first possession of the ball are all with them. This is of course a good fortune, but whether it is Juan or Benitez I don't care much.

Although there are many superstitions in the field of football, after all, it is man-made. No one cares about this small problem when the game is imminent, as long as it does not affect their morale.

Obviously, such a small setback at the beginning cannot shake Liverpool's confidence at all. Although Deportivo has some joy from top to bottom, they also remain cautious at all times.

"Obviously, both Deportivo and Liverpool are ready to hit the ground running today." Frank coughed lightly and frowned, "Besides, Deportivo kicked off first, so it's not all that good for Liverpool. It's all bad."

Indeed, if you have to say it carefully, it is a good thing for Deportivo and Liverpool that Deportivo kick off first at this time.

What Deportivo is good at is "offensive power", while Liverpool is good at defensive counterattacks. If Liverpool were allowed to attack from the beginning, they probably would not be happy about it.

The players of the two teams stood up on the court, and the referee Gonzalez whistled the kick-off!

"Liverpool's starting line-up today is Dudek; Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Traore; Luis Garcia, Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Riise; Kewell, Barosch , Obviously they still have to play the 4-4-1-1 formation they are most familiar with. Such a defense-oriented defensive counterattack formation has obviously played its own role at this time. Liverpool's backcourt at least looks like this at this time. As stubborn as an iron wall."

"As for Deportivo, they haven't changed much...Diego Lopez; Capdevila, Andrade, Juan Sorin at the back; Valeron, Redondo, Riquelme, Aimar, Portillo in midfield...huh?"

Although the two of them felt that something was wrong when the players on both sides stood together and sang the team song, but now that the position on the Deportivo Stadium was established, Dean was the first to discover something was wrong.

In other words, it should be very wrong.

How did Portillo fall back to the midfield position?Although he will also have a wonderful performance in the midfield position, but what is the difference between this formation and the previous 4-3-3?

Not to mention the people standing in the front...

The big screen turned around, just in time to sweep past the two people.

One is Morientes and the other is Romario.

The expressions on the faces of these two people were very calm. After the referee blew his whistle, Morientes had already started to move, while Romario lived up to expectations and stood there lazily without moving.

"Why Romario?" Frank and all the fans present were a little puzzled. Although Romario's departure has not been announced yet, everyone knows that in such a game scene, what Deportivo needs most is It is the offensive vigor of Portillo and Morientes-at least from their point of view, it is true, and only the combination of the two of them can make Liverpool have no breath under strong pressure.

Moreover, Gago's role on the court is not small. He is not on the court at this time, so who will protect Aimar?

Unlike everyone's doubts, puzzles and worries, Juan himself is very calm.

Although it is said that Aimar could play alone without Gago's protection, after all, he can be regarded as an independent and mature top player. Gago can play a powerful role by his side, but even without Gago, Even if he is vulnerable, he is still a tiger!

And although Gago and Aimar's partner is very smooth, and AC Milan already has a similar combination-Pirlo and Gattuso, this combination makes AC Milan almost undisputed in terms of ball possession. , but Aimar himself has a little opinion on this.

He specifically said to Juan: "Boss, although I'm more likely to get hurt, I'm not a porcelain doll. It's true that I can get the most out of my abilities with Gago by my side...but it doesn't mean that I don't have Gago." I can't do it!"

After all, you have to walk alone as a player. It is rare for two people to go all the way to retirement, especially in the case of big teams. Therefore, no matter how suitable two people are as partners, playing alone It is also necessary to get used to fighting alone.

In this game, Gago just sat quietly on the sidelines, but he is ready to play as a substitute at any time. Now he is still a little green, and he is fine in normal games and even other games in the Champions League, but The last game against Bayern made Juan see his problems, so he was temporarily taken off to settle himself down.

This game depends on the situation on the court. Anyway, he has grown a lot during this period of time. If a replacement is selected to play, he must be the first choice.

Deportivo kick off.

Vereron stood in front of the football, opposite him were Gerrard and Xabi Alonso, the captain of Deportivo took a deep look at the opposite Liverpool captain, as if to remember this young man who was too young Like the captain, he then moved his feet lightly.

The football was passed to the rear with a very gentle movement, and the person who received the ball was Redondo. Obviously, Redondo had already anticipated the arrival of this pass, and the football just stopped at his feet After a short while, it was passed directly back to Riquelme.

Riquelme was actually standing parallel to Belleron, but Belleron still passed the football to Redondo first, and then Redondo quickly transferred. It can be said that the transfer of the three people was almost in the blink of an eye. It was completed in no time, and the Liverpool players were immediately attracted.

If it is said that Belleron passed the football directly to Riquelme, their defense line must not move at this time, but Belleron unexpectedly assigned it to Redondo.

When Redondo took the ball, no one dared not to care, so most of the people moved a bit. As a result, before they moved, the ball was handed over to Riquelme by Redondo.

This time, even Liverpool, who was concentrating on it, swayed, barely revealing a little gap.

"Opportunity!" Riquelme's eyes lit up, he knew what he was going to do at this time!

Juan stood on the edge of the court, watching Riquelme eager to take the ball, and couldn't help frowning.

If he had to say that Liverpool would directly reveal such a flaw at the beginning of the game, Juan would never believe it, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

If he is Riquelme, facing the situation where the opponent is almost open, his only choice is naturally to take advantage of the vacancy and give the opponent a ruthless blow.

It is precisely because he has such an attitude, so during the game, both Juan and Deportivo have the same way, and it is appropriate to demonstrate at the beginning!

Riquelme immediately caught a route, took the ball and hit the penalty area directly, and he couldn't see what he did. It seemed to be a slow speed, but no one could catch up with him, even from Riquelme just fiddled with the ball in front of him, and the football seemed to stick to his feet. No one could succeed.

Riquelme swept into Liverpool's half like a hurricane, and suffered a very tragic siege as soon as he entered. After all, everyone knows Riquelme's sharpness. How else to fight?

Although Liverpool is very good at turning over difficulties, it does not mean that they like difficulties!

Especially at this time, we still have to work hard to change the name of the product!

Facing the siege of Riise and Luis García, Riquelme showed a half-smile look on his face. Before the two men surrounded him, he directly sank his dantian and raised his head high. foot--

"Bang" sound.

Not a shot.

With such a huge kinetic energy, Riquelme flew to the other side like a cannonball. No one thought that he would choose a long pass!

After all, at this time, it is also possible to force a shot from his angle!

Although this is outside the restricted area, as long as Riquelme wants to do it, it is probably not a problem.

But Riquelme actually chose to transfer the ball, and still transfer it on such a large scale, why is this?

Soon, the doubts in everyone's hearts have been revealed - the reason is very simple.

Riquelme's ability to transfer the ball so easily and without sloppiness is naturally because he believes that the person who catches the ball is more sure of shooting than himself!

Generally speaking, even Morientes, Portillo, and Riquelme will not give up the ball so easily, at least they will take the ball for a while, but this is obviously not the case now.

The one who catches the ball is Romario.

His steps to catch the ball are very steady, and his steps to stop the ball are very small. It was obviously a football that flew over from such a distance. As a result, magnets seemed to grow on his feet. Lifting, the football is thrown into the range of his feet like a baby swallow returning to its nest, so well-behaved that it makes people's eyes widen.

And Romario didn't hold back at this time, the football was already under his feet, so he raised his head subconsciously.

Looking at him like this, in fact, although he is only one or two steps away from Liverpool's big penalty area, no one knows why he stops here. You must know that Morientes is in the front position just like him. They are almost standing on the edge of the small restricted area!

However, when Romario raised his head, many people remembered that there was Morientes in the penalty area. Suddenly, many people, such as Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek, became nervous.

Morientes himself stood very calmly towards the corner of the goal, his eyes focused on Romario's direction. His unfailing actions at this time alone have made many people feel at ease.

Sure enough, Deportivo will attack from the very beginning!

Although it is said that Liverpool is not strong in defense or attack, isn't Deportivo a big one?

Just when some people in the stands were secretly sneering, and some were worrying about paying attention, Romario chose an action that surprised everyone at this time.

He stared at the direction of Morientes, and then, under the eyes of the people around him, he raised his leg and his thigh muscles tensed.

"not good!"

"Heavy artillery!"

The surrounding players, no matter the enemy or the enemy, reacted instantly, and almost cleared a way in front of them. After all, everyone knows that it is not at all uncomfortable to be hit by a ball like a heavy artillery, and it may be a fracture or something. little things...

But Romario is like this, isn't he afraid of any accidents to Morientes who catches the ball?

The doubts in everyone's minds disappeared in a flash, and only Gerald immediately raised his head and shouted: "Dudek, stop!!"

Although there was a long distance between the two sides, Dudek still heard Gerrard's voice, and his eyes froze for a moment, but before he could sink his body, he heard a whistling sound in his ears, followed by a football hitting heavily The sound on the doorjamb!

The iron goal frame rattled at this time, it sounded like an anthropomorphic cry of pain, Dudek immediately turned his head to look.

Football is out of the gate!

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he raised his heart again.

Football is out of bounds!

It just flew high into the sky, it flew high, but it obviously landed not far away, Liverpool's danger has not been resolved!

Dudek's heart sank, and he was ready to attack immediately. He was ready to go out and grab the ball directly!

After all, there is a Morientes in Liverpool's penalty area now!

La Coruña's big killer!

The Liverpool players are really all staring at the high-flying football at this time.

Although I knew that the game would be very difficult and tense, and the battle between the two sides would be on the verge of breaking out, but who knew that the game would be so brutal from the very beginning?

Less than 2 minutes after the opening, Deportivo went directly to the front of Liverpool's small penalty area, showing a domineering and confident attitude!

The football was falling, and Morientes ran over immediately, but are all the Liverpool players around him vegetarian?

Especially at this time, in Liverpool's penalty area, Deportivo Morientes is the only one. How can he compete with a group of Liverpool players who are like jackals and leopards around him?

Morientes was directly blocked by Finnan and Carragher with their bodies. He ran left and right but failed to pass. He immediately felt that it was a pity, and he could only watch the football being held in Dudek's arms.

Liverpool's goal kick.

At this time, the Liverpool players obviously still had some lingering fears. Several people looked at each other, the expressions on their faces changed several times, and then looked at Gerrard in front.

As the captain of Liverpool, Gerrard obviously knew that he should take the lead and command at this time, and he was already very familiar with such things, so it was no problem to do it, but Gerrard still hesitated, and then subconsciously Looked around the field.

In any case, the person who led Liverpool to this position is Benitez, so no matter what, Gerrard still hopes to refer to his opinion.

Now the ball is in Dudek's hands. Obviously, if Deportivo can be given an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye, the Liverpool players will definitely not be soft. After all, they are also a group of young people. Fang Gang?

Benitez stood on the edge of the court and saw a group of people looking at him on the court. Of course he knew what God meant, but after being silent for a while, he still ignored the disappointment of those people on the court. eyes, slowly shook his head.

Not to mention anything else, if Liverpool took the initiative to attack at this time, it would almost be an act of courting death.

Although Deportivo's steals and overall interception ability are not the best in the world, it is not a big problem to deal with Liverpool.

And this is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that Deportivo has already demonstrated its offensive ability at the beginning of the game. There are still plenty of chances to score.

If the ball is taken again by Deportivo, with their various attack methods, no matter what, piercing the Liverpool defense that has already attacked is similar to piercing a layer of paper, and it does not take much effort. of.

Deportivo have used various offensive methods to kill many teams this season. Many teams have exhausted their methods when facing Deportivo, and Liverpool is now choosing the roughest Benzene, but it is also the most effective way.

They absolutely do not take the initiative to attack, so as not to let La Coruña catch their own pain, which is also the safest.

Seeing Benitez prohibiting them from attacking, many Liverpool players showed some depression on their faces, but they did not show much disgust. Obviously, they have long been accustomed to Benitez's character and behavior. So at this time, he quietly dormant, and slowly fell in the backcourt, luring Deportivo to take the bait automatically.

Juan stood on the edge of the field, his squinted blue eyes saw everything in his eyes, he was silent for a while, and couldn't help smiling.

Of course he understands how Liverpool play now. Their style of play is really simple and rough, and it is directly on the surface. Even if Juan wants to play dumb, he has no chance.

The opposite side gave him an aboveboard conspiracy. From the current point of view, it seems that Deportivo can only step in and try whether Liverpool's defense is a tortoise shell.

But were Juan and his Deportivo so easily swayed?

The smile in Juan's eyes flickered, and then he made a few gestures towards the court.

Beleron, who had been paying attention to Juan, immediately received the message from Juan, waved directly to the back, and then ran back quickly.

???

Not to mention the Liverpool players who are still tempting the Deportivo players on the opposite side, the Deportivo players who are in the opponent's penalty area are also dumbfounded when they look back.

La Coruña also brought out the Iron Barrel Formation!

But everyone knows that Deportivo is not good at defense, what they are best at is interception, so the top ones are - Redondo, Juan Sorin, Capdevila, Zhi Youan Dradder is still behind the support alone.

Seeing such a formation, even Dean and Frank were stunned.

"What, what's going on?" Frank was a little slurred, and he turned his head to look at Dean, wanting to hear what he thought.

Dean was silent for a while, and raised his eyebrows: "A Coruña is reversing?"

"??"

Dean didn't mean to explain either, but just watched La Coruña's response intently.

Now, Liverpool's own goal is to attract Deportivo to attack, but Deportivo immediately put on a defense that does not advance, which immediately stunned Liverpool.

At the same time, they are not the only ones who are confused.

Romario almost wanted to jump up and curse!

He knew what Juan was planning!

Squeeze him running all over the court just to see him go? !

He, he... Damn, he really likes this!

Romario almost glared viciously at a tall figure standing on the edge of the court, and ran towards Gerrard who was dribbling the ball.

Gerrard was also taken aback. After all, everyone knew that Romario was usually too lazy. If the ball hadn't been delivered to his feet, he wouldn't have moved at all.

Who knew that at this moment of effort, he would rush over directly?

And that speed...not slow at all!

The frightened Gerrard wanted to pass the ball almost immediately. He originally wanted to take refuge with Alonso, but when he turned around, he saw Alonso standing quietly beside him. A Riquelme was smiling at him. Obviously, once the football passed, it would be up to Alonso to keep it.

However, it is clear that the power of Riquelme's previous rush and long pass is still in Gerrard's memory. He immediately chose to pass the football to Luis Garcia on the other side.

Although Luis Garcia is not very good at handling the ball and organizing offense, he must not give the football to the opponent's offensive player!

This kind of balance is difficult to grasp, but now Liverpool is trying to master this balance. Obviously, this is the way Benitez customized for Liverpool to win.

Although it was only 7 minutes since the game started, Juan already knew a thing or two about the situation on the court, and couldn't help showing a smile immediately.
