Chapter 181 March 9st Update
The second half of the game will start again soon.
After a goal in the first half, Chelsea seemed to have calmed down after the carnival. They knew that this time was not happy yet, and they were still one goal behind.
If in the next second half of the game, Deportivo don't score a goal, and Chelsea can score two more, then their game will be safe.
But is this possible?
Mourinho turned his head and looked in the direction of Deportivo's coaching bench.
Juan was still inside for a long time and didn't know what he was doing, which made him squint his eyes.
So what was Juan doing in the tunnel?
In fact, it was nothing, he was assigning homework urgently.
"Everyone listened in the first half we were defending and we were given a chance and now we're back to our own rhythm...Chelsea wanted to press the whole pitch and not let us go through the midfield too quickly. Hitting their defense, everyone has noticed that, right?"
Most of the people in front of them nodded their heads. During the first half, they did feel that way.
"They encircled and pressed us in the midfield. We blindly evaded, so we missed the opportunity. In the next game, the midfield is the key. We have to regain control of the midfield... Everyone Do you have confidence?"
"Have!!"
Hearing the passionate voices of most of the people in front of him, the expression on Juan's face loosened, and then nodded: "Okay, you all go out, hurry up and get ready to play."
When the players rushed out, Juan looked back, and his coaching staff followed behind him, silent.
Juan sighed softly.
"I bet on the Champions League because I hope that everyone here can realize the seriousness of the matter... Finally, I want to emphasize that no matter what you choose after this season, at least, you are still a Deportivo, and you Everyone has to live up to the flag on this dress."
After saying this, Juan turned around and walked out of the player tunnel.
The cheers of the audience poured into the eardrums almost instantly. More than 3 people are working together to cheer for Deportivo, for the support of their hearts and for their beliefs.
Juan took a deep breath and said with a smile: "This feeling is actually pretty good, isn't it?"
After the start of the second half, Deportivo launched an attack preconceived.
Their control in midfield is well known to everyone, so when they saw Deportivo's players back and forth in the backcourt, Chelsea's players were already waiting with bated breath.
Juan Sorin took the ball to observe for a while, and quickly passed the ball to the frontcourt. Belleron, who received the ball, looked up and saw that Chelsea's defense was very tight, so he did not rush to break through, but passed the ball Gave it to Riquelme next to him.
Riquelme is a master of ball control in the midfield. Naturally, Chelsea will not just watch him continue to control the ball with the ball like this. Joe Cole and Gallas quickly surrounded and suppressed the past.
Of course Riquelme would not just be surrounded by the two of them in a daze, he directly passed the ball to Quaresma on the side.
Aimar did not play today, which is actually a loss for Deportivo.
You know, in the first round of the game, Chelsea was almost pierced by Aimar-this story tells us that rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone top players.
However, Juan also gave Aimar two options, one is to participate in this game and the Copa del Rey after that, and rest in the next league game against Real Madrid; the other option is to rest in this Champions League, and then participate in it The Copa del Rey game and the next league game against Real Madrid.
The Copa del Rey game is impossible to escape, but there is a slight difference between the Champions League and the league.
Aimar is not stupid, he directly chose the latter after a little weighing.
- Nonsense!How can you not participate in the league against Real Madrid!
This is the first league championship for their group of Deportivo rookies!
So during this game, he felt at ease and just lay on his sofa and waited to see the performance of his teammates.
In the first 10 minutes, he kept rubbing his eyes and felt that he was wrong. Is this really the Deportivo he is familiar with, and not someone else's prank?
When looking at the tired expressions of his teammates on the court, Aimar almost jumped up in anxiety.
What happened?Why did strange things happen when he was not around? !
However, after 10 minutes, the team gradually changed into the way he was familiar with, and Aimar gradually heaved a sigh of relief and continued to watch the situation on the court.
"I don't know why, but there is always an inexplicable feeling..."
When Aimar was muttering at home, a sentence also came from the TV: "Dean, do you have a strange feeling?"
Aimar, who was drinking water, almost spit out a mouthful of water, coughing and staring at the TV screen.
The two commentators from Sky Sports always give people such a compliment from time to time! !
Frank didn't know that at this time, a player from Deportivo was thinking about him with some resentment in front of the screen, and he still pulled Dean beside him with some worry.
"Deportivo were almost two spirits in the first half and the second half. I always felt that something happened between them."
"Is there?" Dean glanced at him with some surprise. "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. If you really want to know, as you said, let our frontline reporters ask after the game, isn't it?"
"Well, the main reason is that the atmosphere on Deportivo's bench seems to be too gloomy, so I just ask..."
"Don't think too much about Frank, look at the expression on Juan's face, does it look like something is wrong?"
"..." Frank looked at the small screen.
Juan was still standing on the edge of the court, with a cold expression on his face, as if he was fighting on the battlefield, which meant that he had already put all his energy on the court and had no time at all. care about other.
The young man standing there quietly is like a pictorial. At this time, the cameraman seemed to be Fulin's heart, and directly moved the camera.
A close-up of him appeared directly on the TV in this way, and even a few light-colored eyelashes could be clearly seen. It was obviously a fierce game, but the head coach of one side was still in a trance.
It's not that Juan didn't feel that someone was patting him around him, but he still had to try his best to let himself ignore the uncomfortable feeling.
...Although it is said that when I am a model, I am often stared at by the camera, but that is my job.What is this now?
Juan frowned, and decided to ignore the camera, but he didn't know that his frown had already been captured.
"My God..." A female fan couldn't help covering her chest and sighed, "His eyes..."
Quaresma didn't do much after getting the ball. In front of him was Chelsea's defensive line.
He knew how heavy he was, and once he encountered Chelsea's defense line, he had no room to resist at all, so after hesitating for a while, he directly passed the ball back to Morientes.
Today Morientes' position is not very forward, even a bit close to the midfield. After receiving the ball, he went straight to Chelsea's defense.
Morientes is different from others. He can be said to be the sharpest knife in Deportivo. Facing Lampard's defense, Morientes relies on his unreasonable breakthrough to directly create a chance.
——Since arriving in Deportivo, even a kind person like Morientes has brought some impact and aggressiveness on the court, which is a good thing for Deportivo.
However, after breaking through Lampard, he did not pass the ball into the penalty area...mainly because there was only Portillo in the penalty area at this time, and the two of them were separated by almost a full half-court.
In order to avoid this opportunity being wasted again, Morientes took a risk and chose to pass the ball to the front of the penalty area.
Quaresma had already followed up at this time, but Terry was still on the other side, and he didn't have time to follow up. He took the opportunity to hit the goal directly, but the football was higher than the crossbar.
"A great chance! It's a pity the football misses...Chelsea's goal kick, will they take the opportunity to counterattack?"
Chelsea does want to launch a counterattack, but Deportivo will not just give them such a chance.
When Deportivo ran up the midfield and picked up speed, they were like a meat grinder activated, and all the attacks that came to them would be crushed.
Under such interference, Chelsea's offense encountered a lot of trouble.
Originally they only had one Lampard and one Drogba on the offensive line, but now they have been directly cut off from the midfield and striker. Chelsea's midfield lacks players who can control the rhythm.
This is something they discovered in the last round of the game. However, this problem has not been resolved by Chelsea in this round-of course it cannot be solved.
This kind of problem may not be solved until the summer transfer period, when Chelsea buys talents again.
After the start of the second half, Deportivo followed Juan's advice and focused on attacking Chelsea's right flank. Gallas, standing on the right flank, felt very difficult to defend. Performance began to decline, and Mourinho couldn't help frowning when he realized this.
His players did have some imperfections on the court, but he used the formation to cover them up perfectly. What he didn't expect was that Juan and his Deportivo discovered it so quickly.
Seeing Galla's disheveled face being broken by Morientes and Quaresma, Mourinho really couldn't stand it anymore, and he directly used up the first substitution spot.
Babayaro replaces Gallas.
Although Babayaro is not very aggressive compared to Galla, at least he is better defensively than Galla. Mourinho does not know why he has a sense of crisis. Deportivo on the opposite side It seems that something is brewing.
Gago was running tirelessly around Riquelme.
In this game, Juan only gave him one task, which was to protect Riquelme.
Although Riquelme already has a strong enough breakthrough ability and dribbling ability, however, when the opponent comes up, there will be two people, so Juan gave Gago a task to protect Riquelme and the people under him. The ball, let him not be easily robbed.
——At the same time, he has to do one thing, once the football is taken away, he must immediately get it back.
And he needs to do everything possible to give Li Kai the time and opportunity to get the ball, so that he can organize the offense without interference.
Generally speaking, he should be protecting Belleron at this time, but Belleron's position is a bit retreated today, and Juan directly let Riquelme push himself to the front to organize the attack, so in order to protect the football, Gago can only play the role of a knight.
"We can totally feel that in this game, the center of the midfield is the key. No matter which side it is, as long as the midfield is alive, then their wings can fly." Frank was really itchy, and he wanted to Knowing the football master, "Dean, you see, they were scored in the 10st minute of the first half, but the Deportivo players didn't seem to be affected at all."
"It's impossible to say that they weren't affected." Dean frowned, "But obviously, there was one person who gave them confidence and hope, allowing them to regain their strength... Moreover, there were still seven and 10 minutes left in the game. , how could they not have confidence in their home court?"
The players of La Coruña seem to have some bonuses in their home court, and they run extraordinarily vigorously. It is the hard work of all of them that La Coruña's home court, the Riazor Stadium, can maintain its own " The title of the cemetery of the wealthy family".
"I'm serious, if this goes on like this, if you want to fight with the stadium, many wealthy teams will fall into the sand. At that time, this stadium may not be called a cemetery...it would be more appropriate to call it a cemetery."
When it comes to cemeteries, people will think of mass graves and people who died tragically. However, when it comes to cemeteries, the neat arrangement of tombstones carries the irreversible desolation of life, old age, sickness and death. It has almost two meanings.
Frank didn't realize it at first, and after reading it twice, he suddenly smiled and said, "You're still educated!"
Dean nodded implicitly, raised his eyebrows and smiled for a while before remembering his frown: "Speaking of which, Chelsea's full-court pressing tactics are very effective. Their crazy pressing in the frontcourt made Deportivo very uncomfortable, so in the first half The conceded goal was not surprising at all. Although Deportivo also played a part in it, most of what we saw was Chelsea's toughness... At least in the second half, Juan made some adjustments, so it was Didn't keep conceding the ball."
Just when the two of them were talking to each other and teasing the situation on the field, Deportivo had found a breakthrough point.
Under Gago's escort, Riquelme's organization was a little smoother.
Now he no longer has to worry about the ball being snatched from his feet, because there is already a person behind him to escort him.
After breaking through Chelsea's first line of defense, he passed directly to the back point. Bridge wanted to try to clear the siege, and successfully kicked the ball to the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Joker did not stick The ball hit directly back to Lampard in the middle. Lampard wanted to pass a direct pass to Drogba in front, but was intercepted by Redondo.
After receiving the ball, Redondo made a cross pass directly.
The football made a stunning arc in the air.
"Beautiful pass! After so many years, Redondo still lives up to his title of prince, and his style of play is still so elegant... In terms of passing, he is not as good as Guti, nor is he as fast as Riquelme , but that precision, that amazingness is unmatched!"
Morientes was not sure he could pass the football to Portillo, Redondo could.
The football cut diagonally across Chelsea's half and landed directly at Portillo's feet. Portillo took a step across the ball and then took a shot, but he didn't know whether it was because of the grass or himself. After a while, the football didn't use its strength, it just rolled in the penalty area and fell to the feet of Quaresma who was going forward.
Quaresma is now on the runway near the penalty spot. Seeing a good opportunity, he quickly took a shot. Cech fell to the ground and tried to block the ball with his hands. However, the football did not fly far, and Cech was completely down. With no chance on the ground, he could only watch as Morientes sprinted into the box to stop the ball before Terry made a clearance - he even had time to do so - before volleying with his right foot.
The football flew into Chelsea's gate like a shooting star!
"Goooooooooooal!! Fernando Morientes!! At two minutes into the game, Deportivo equalized the score!!"
Morientes was still a little excited. After all, the first 10 minutes of the first half was a bit too depressed. Now he finally let out a breath of anger. He swayed to the corner and shouted at everyone with his fists clenched. , his own teammates from behind also rushed over, Juan smiled and applauded.
This goal, at least at this time, is very important!
"Damn it, they scored this goal..." Mourinho clapped his hands, his face full of annoyance.He's a manager who can easily throw himself into a game, especially at a time when everything off the pitch is a cloud.
Here, he is the madman.
"Chelsea all, don't hesitate, keep attacking!"
Re-kick-off in the middle circle, Chelsea's possession of the ball.
The referee blew the kick-off whistle, Robben kicked the football lightly, and Makelele followed up and passed the ball back to Lampard behind him.
Lampard made a gesture to move forward on both sides, and then stepped forward to catch the football. He didn't pass it out immediately, but controlled the ball and began to observe the situation on the pitch.
On the one hand, he was looking for a good line to get the ball out of the field, and on the other hand, he was waiting for his teammates to finish running.
In such a long time just now, he broke through many times in a row and created several opportunities, but he failed to score a goal, which also made Lampard a little angry.
But he also knows that scoring goals cannot be forced at all, and rushing to force a breakthrough will not bring any benefits to the team...
However, when he just dribbled the ball near the middle circle, he was double pinched by Gago and Capdevila and had to stop to protect the football.
Babayaro wanted to run to meet him, and the Deportivo players immediately focused on him. However, Lampard did not pass the ball to the center, but kicked the ball back, and directly stuffed it to the side. .
On the wing was Joe Cole.
In this game, due to the marking of Deportivo's midfielder, Joe Cole did not have a lot of forward attacks. After all, in the last round of the game, he posed a lot of threats to Deportivo on the court, so It was marked from the very beginning.
But now, it's time to give full play to his offensive ability!
Joe Cole raised his foot to stop Lampard's pass. At the same time, he did not stop his pace, but took the ball forward. At this moment, Gago and Redondo's attention was both Attracted by Lampard, in front of him is a smooth road!
Joe Cole protected the ball and moved forward very carefully. His speed is not very fast, but he wins in safety. He moves forward with the ball at a very uniform speed. When he advances, the entire attacking line of Chelsea is following up. , and Deportivo are also reacting calmly, they are cautiously shrinking their defenses, ready to deal with the thunder blow from Chelsea at any time.
Joe Cole kept dribbling close to 30 meters before stopping himself because of Capdevila's replacement, but he was not helpless.
Drogba the beast has rushed up.
Joe Cole immediately crossed the football, facing the flying football, Drogba swung his right foot while running, ready to shoot directly at the front of the penalty area, Juan Sorin rushed up, directly in front of him.
By chance, the feet of the two collided through the football!
Drogba is called a monster for many reasons.
Some people say that he looks like a monster, and his playing style is very fierce, just like a monster; Good physical fitness, explosive...
Although Juan Sorin is also strong, he is the defensive side after all, and in the game, Drogba's strength is always amazing, as if it will never be used up. With such a pair of feet, Sorin immediately It's a bit of a disadvantage, but he is not stupid, and what Juan said to him at halftime still worked.
So when they were facing each other, even though the two collided directly, Sorin played a tricky game. When he was facing each other, he went down a little bit, and the football with his opposite foot bounced directly into the sky.
... In fact, it's just a low altitude.
After all, a monster is a monster. When the football flew into the air, he had already stabilized his center of gravity. He jumped up to face the falling football and shook his head violently!
The football was pushed directly into the penalty area by him, and Robben quietly appeared in the penalty area of Deportivo, and quickly accelerated towards the football landing point!
Facing the attacking Diego Lopez and Andrade who was desperately jumping over from the side to make up for it, Robben looked extremely calm.
The Dutch striker has a sensitive sense of the ball under his feet. He directly raised his right foot and tapped the football. The naughty elf jumped up. At this time, Robben swung his right foot again.
When the Dutch shooter was shooting, half of his body turned sideways as a whip, and he pulled the ball out forcefully. The football was suddenly forced in the air, and fell to the grass like a meteorite. Into the gates of La Coruña!
"Goooooooal!! Robben!! His recent state is really amazing, and he has scored in seven consecutive rounds!!"
"The Netherlands has a group of top scorers, but they don't know why they always fall into the sand in international competitions. The orange tulip has always been the uncrowned king...but this is also understandable. Not a top striker can save a goal. team, and it is a good thing to have a peerless striker in a team, but if there are a group of them, it is not a good thing..."
"Roben, Van Persie, Sneijder, Huntelaar... There are such a group of people. I am really looking forward to the European Cup in 08. I heard that before the start of the season, Juan wanted to recruit Robben. But he rejected it, obviously, Juan also agreed with Robben's ability... It's just a pity that Robben didn't choose Deportivo, but went to Chelsea."
"Now the score of the two teams is 1:2. According to the usual practice, Deportivo and Chelsea have a real-time total score of 5:4. Next, Chelsea only need to score one more goal. La Coruña We're going to be out of the Champions League."
As soon as the goal was scored, Mourinho immediately jumped up from the coach's bench with a loud roar, hugged the people around him, and then jumped up and waved his fists. He is such a person who is so enthusiastic when celebrating The head coach, Juan thought it was very interesting, so he took a second look, but he was still interested in watching it, and Alan beside him didn't have any thoughts at all.
"Juan, what should we do now?" Allen was desperately anxious, but he couldn't do anything, and now he was even more anxious and regretful.
If he hadn't been so self-willed, La Coruña must not be so passive at this time! !
What have they done! !
But now he had no choice but to anxiously seek Juan's opinion. Juan sighed and patted his arm.
"In the last round, our superstar had a flash of inspiration and won the victory with extraordinary performance... Now, it's their turn to perform extraordinary."
"Then, then now..."
"It's okay, don't worry." Juan smiled back at him, took a deep breath two steps forward, and shouted into the stadium.
"Deportivo, keep attacking! We want to win this game!"
After calling out this sentence, Juan arranged their positions and tasks for several people, and moved their positions on the field a little. Now is the time when Deportivo needs to compete with perseverance and state most!
Kick-off in the middle circle, Deportivo has the ball.
Belleron lightly kicked the football to Riquelme, who passed it back to Redondo without raising his head.
"Redondo has the ball! What is Deportivo doing, look at their movement, Riquelme goes to the right to face Joe Cole, the left is Quaresma and Ferreira Confrontation..."
Ferreira is most afraid of forwards like Quaresma. If Riquelme's speed can be relied on to block and experience to resist a little bit, then Quaresma is really good. It's too much.
It's not that Quaresma's ability is already higher than Riquelme's, it's just that he is not good at dealing with speed forwards, especially Quaresma who still has a little skill at his feet. big problem.
Redondo obviously thought so too, so he quickly assigned the ball to Quaresma's position. Sure enough, in the matchup between the two, Quaresma made Ferreira suffer. Mourinho can only direct Bridge to make up for it.
However, in this way, Lampard, who is alone in the middle, looks a bit thin...
One of the main reasons why Chelsea is called an upstart is because their bench thickness is really not enough, especially when facing such a strong enemy, Mourinho looked back and saw that he was unbeatable at all. Change--
Now on his bench, there are quite a few offensive players. His boss seems to want to learn from the chairman of Real Madrid. He bought a lot of offensive players, as if he wanted to turn Chelsea into a second striker. Collect factories.
...But what he needs is a player who can strengthen the defense!
If Makelele hadn't been restrained by Redondo at this time, Chelsea would definitely not be where it is now!
In this game, two people are almost invisible, and those two people are Redondo and Makelele-or in other words, these two people restrain each other and prevent any of them from approaching the football.
During the game break, Redondo glanced at the direction of Chelsea's coaching bench, and found that the opponent's head coach was frowning, as if he was thinking about something, and he couldn't help curling his mouth.
Juan did a great job with this one.
"What are you looking at?" Makelele asked suddenly, Redondo withdrew his gaze and pursed his lips: "It's nothing."
The two of them have no intersection. In the season when Makelele transferred, he packed his bags and went to Italy, but at this time, they both have the same name——
Real Madrid veteran.
Of course, there are also many people with this title on the field, but most of them left on their own initiative. Only him, Morientes, and Redondo in front of him were sold by the team.
So for a moment, he even felt that the people in front of him were also fallen in the world.
However, during the matchup, he found that the person in front of him didn't seem to be shaken at all, and his eyes were very clear and firm. When Makelele said some trash talk on the court, he would naturally mention Real Madrid intentionally or unintentionally, but the person in front of him seemed to be interested. He didn't care about it at all, and only glanced at him when he got impatient.
"You seem to be too attached to that place."
Makelele was dumbfounded.
Of course he is persistent, he is obsessed with that place, or in other words, he has an inexplicable feeling for this place.
But Redondo and Morientes, these two people seem to be able to afford to let go. When mentioning Real Madrid, the expression is the same as when mentioning Chelsea-for them, this is just a club, unlike other clubs. Football clubs don't make any difference.
Makelele was very puzzled, but the person in front of him obviously didn't intend to explain his confusion, so he countered quietly.
In the following time, both sides tried their best to gang up on each other's midfielders. After a fierce attack, Deportivo scored a winning goal in the No.803 minute!
Riquelme forced a breakthrough with the ball, and he almost pressed the entire Chelsea defense line back step by step. However, when everyone thought he was going to press into the penalty area, he dunked the ball back and passed it straight. Portillo who came over to meet him.
Portillo puts his foot straight, and the football goes straight in [. 】Into the penalty area, the inserted Quaresma did not stop the ball, but turned sideways. When the football flew in front of him, he turned sideways and let the football slide by, while he adjusted the angle and kicked the football !
The football drew an arc, bypassed Cech's outstretched hand, and then hit the inside of the far post, and quickly bounced into the goal!
Two to two tie! !
Mourinho frowned, and made two more substitution adjustments in succession, directly replacing two attackers, trying to break the boat, but such a counterattack did not have any effect.
When the final whistle blew, everyone looked up at the score on the big screen.
The game was tied two to two.
At the same time, Deportivo scored [-]-[-] on aggregate, eliminated Chelsea and advanced.
Mourinho looked at the field and wanted to sigh a little, but he soon cheered up.
This is his first season at Chelsea and there is a long way to go.
He stood up as usual, adjusted his clothes, and walked towards Juan.
"Excellent game." Mourinho extended his hand to Juan.
"Thank you." Juan held his hand, looked him straight in the eyes, and said sincerely: "Your midfielder is very good."
Mourinho laughed dumbfounded: "Why, are you laughing at me?"
