football's most handsome

Chapter 230

But obviously, at this time, football has left his feet, and there is no possibility of turning back. The expression of remorse on Alonso's face has not yet fully unfolded, but it has already turned into hope.

Gerald!

Gerrard again!

He also rushed in the direction of football!

If his speed is fast enough, as long as he stops the football before Capdevila, then Liverpool still have a chance, and they still have the possibility of turning this goal into a goal!

The game has progressed to the present, although neither side has scored a goal at this time, but everyone knows that one goal is enough to have a huge impact on the situation on the field!

Gerrard gritted his teeth and rushed in the direction of the football, but he could see that he was not the only one in the current situation, and a person appeared in front of him in the next second, and he even had the strength to smile at him, that's all A smile made Gerald's heart sink subconsciously.

— Riquelme.

Why is he here at this time?Obviously, Riise and the others had already stopped this person behind, didn't they!

The expression on Juan's face was very calm. He was watching Riquelme's movements on the court, and now Riise has also been blocked. The person who did this was Romario. I saw Deportivo Ya's big boss stood in front of Riise with a face full of gloom, as aggrieved as he wanted.

Thinking that he has been a lone wolf in football for so many years, when will he deliberately come up to defend others and make wedding dresses for others?But who made him feel a little guilty about his previous kick, so he can only make a little contribution here.

…Stopping others and running to the back to intercept, no matter how you think, the former is more labor-saving, okay?He didn't bother to run to his own half at all. His physical strength was a problem on the one hand, and his personality had become too tired over the years, so he didn't want to do those useless tasks of running back and forth.

Of course, Juan also knew what the boss thought, so before the game started, he had already talked with the boss about the game and his position on the court.

The two big men of La Coruna, one Redondo and the other Romario, these two are the treasures of the town team of La Coruna, even Juan didn't feel that he could dictate to these two people, So both sides spoke in a negotiating tone, and it was precisely because of this that the two big brothers also agreed to his method out of their hearts.

What can he do?

--guard.

Redondo guards Deportivo's second half, while Romario guards Deportivo's frontcourt, that is, the front offense. The bosses on both sides will never run to each other unless the situation is urgent. He went in halftime, which at the same time fulfilled Romario's wish not to run around.

It is precisely because of this that Romario is willing to play the defense that he has not done for many years. No. [-] does not care how many people are stunned by his action.

...Anyway, Giselle was dumbfounded.

As a Brazilian, she almost grew up watching this football player. It can be said that if you don’t mention his appearance, Romario has already been regarded as an iconic figure in the minds of the post-80s generation in Brazil, so of course she I also know that when this person usually plays, his defense, passing, and coordination... are basically fake and fart.

If he is happy, he may cooperate, but if he is not happy, no one can control him, but his role on the court is irreplaceable...so no matter which head coach it is, it seems that there is nothing he can do about it.

But now, Deportivo's young coach seems to have a solution?

Don't talk about other things, just look at Romario's rare defensive interception in his many years of competitive career, and he still looks like it. It's not like he hasn't done such things in training!

Who dares to let Romario defend others?

Who is actually willing to use a magic weapon like Romario to defend?

All of a sudden, the competition on the court didn't seem so important, and most people's eyes were focused on one person.

Juan Diaz!

Juan was still standing near the sideline, ignoring the gazes coming from all directions, his azure blue eyes only staring at the movements on the court, his brows were slightly frowned, as if there was some problem.

Is the situation on the pitch worth his frown?

worth!

Although Romario stopped Riise at halftime, cutting off the possibility of Liverpool's rear reinforcements, and Riquelme stepped forward to block Gerrard, there is still one person who has not been stopped!

Alonso!

Luis Garcia obviously analyzed the difficulty of the situation on the court in an instant, but he didn't show panic at this time, and he didn't even look up when facing Capdevila who was coming directly, he just did one thing thing.

Facing the oncoming football, he directly pumped the arch of his foot vigorously, and vigorously pulled this colorful elf back!

Obviously, no one expected him to make such a dangerous move. Capdevila subconsciously froze for a while as he rushed over, but he still stepped forward and stopped him.

He already knew that he would not be able to touch that football, but he believed in his teammates and also knew his current mission.

The football almost passed by, but Capdevila didn't look back, he just stepped forward and directly blocked the wryly smiling Luis Garcia.

Obviously, Luis Garcia was full of calculations, thinking that he would chase the ball away, so that he could break free from the shackles, but who knew that the sky was not what he wanted, and this person still directly stopped in front of him.

The football flew back towards Alonso. Alonso knew the current situation well. He knew that it would be a good thing if the football could be controlled under his feet at this time. A long pass back to their own backcourt, otherwise, if the football falls into the hands of Acruna, they will really cry without tears.

Deportivo's offensive line is now in their half, but Liverpool's defense is also mostly in their own half. Although they are fighting here in Deportivo, Deportivo still has the upper hand after all—— After all, there are more left-behind personnel in Deportivo than those outside, unlike Liverpool, who almost came out in full force.

Benitez's face sank, he knew that Liverpool had lost one of the best offensive opportunities, but he still felt that if his team waited, the opportunity would still appear.

However, it depends on whether Liverpool's current offensive line can last until then.

Deportivo played steadily, and didn't know how the little monster on the opposite side trained his own players. Benitez almost laughed bitterly.

Deportivo is obviously much more stable than Liverpool now, and what's more terrible is that Liverpool is about to go all out at this time, but Deportivo is as stable as a rock, if they have not always shown great caution If not, it is estimated that Liverpool has been broken by this time.

"Careful?" Benitez's expression moved, and then subconsciously looked at Juan Diaz's position.

Standing there was a young man with light blond hair, in a suit and leather shoes, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Just looking at it like this did not seem to be watching a game, but more like admiring a painting.

Obviously, this is a very young coach, even for the players, and he is obviously very decisive in the player's decision, but he is not only decisive, but also very fast in making decisions. Be very cautious when you should be cautious.

For example, at this time, he seems to be very wary of Liverpool, so he didn't break Liverpool directly. Even if it is the end of the battle in Petpu now, Deportivo is patiently fighting Liverpool. Then, use water to eliminate the threat of Liverpool little by little.

If things go on like this, Liverpool's collapse is not difficult.

But now that Benitez has discovered Deportivo's intentions in a flash, can they still make them happy?

To be honest, the situation in Liverpool is not very good now. If Deportivo really hits down directly with the momentum of the thunder, Liverpool may not have any resistance.

But now it seems... Deportivo seems to have some scruples about Liverpool, and Liverpool is 12 points cautious about Deportivo. It can be said that these two clubs are afraid of both sides.

After figuring this out, Benitez's eyes lit up. If at this time, he would use his tricks, would he still have a chance?

Benitez was about to move, but Juan didn't notice it. He was still watching the situation on the court, narrowing his eyes and worrying.

Although Deportivo seems to have the upper hand from the beginning of the game until now, but Juan clearly understands that Liverpool can explode with terrifying energy, and he doesn't want to try at all if Deportivo can stop it.

This is the last game of this season, that is to say, after this game is the summer break, he does not want his players to go on vacation with injuries, so Juan would rather directly use strong players stay.

So even if he saw that Liverpool was obviously at a disadvantage, he cautiously did not signal everyone to attack, but signaled them to continue to adapt. After all, he was standing below the pitch at this time, and not every idea and every tactic could be immediately transmitted to the pitch. Those who went up, unless it was a personal task, he could call them one by one.

So he has been holding back and letting the commander on the court drive the team to run.

The commander he was talking about was of course Belleron.

When Romario was guarding the front and Redondo was at the back, he adjusted the overall situation in the midfield. When Deportivo "reversed", he immediately shrank behind Deportivo's defense line and put Redon Many people pushed to the front of the restricted area.

This is not a momentary overthinking, but the result of careful consideration. Don't you see that Liverpool is rushing from left to right but has not been able to enter the penalty area of ​​Deportivo?

But at this time, Belleron looked at Juan on the sidelines, seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, took a deep breath and made a few gestures to the others.

Deportivo's midfielders are in full force!

Deportivo, who was still "reversing", suddenly flicked the front of the car and faced Liverpool. At this time, Liverpool tried their best to continue to control the football and did not take it away, but the current situation did not allow them to think too much.

Siege!

In Deportivo's half, Gerrard, Luis Garcia, and Alonso fell into the predicament of being besieged instantly!

Moreover, Kewell and Barosh, who were already firmly under control, were pushed directly to the side, where it was almost impossible to get the ball, and they were in a hurry inside - it was useless!

But at this time, Liverpool is not helpless. Gerrard and Alonso looked at each other, and then the two turned around directly.

"boom!"

The football flew into Liverpool's half, and the man who did it was their captain, Steve Gerrard.

"What is Gerrard going to do?" Frank couldn't understand, "Although Gerrard is a small expert in assisting own goals, he is already in the opponent's half after all. No matter what you say, you won't admit it wrong. ? His goal went to his own half..."

"He didn't kick in the wrong direction, nor did he pass the ball himself." Dean shook his head, with a hint of appreciation in his voice. "With Gerrard doing this, the football is at least under the control of Liverpool. If the football reaches the feet of Deportivo at this time, Deportivo will come out... How many can Liverpool stop with the current backcourt? "

Frank was dumbfounded.

Deportivo's special offense has caused many people to suffer, especially his triangle offense and frontless tactics, as well as his dazzling passes in other halfs. Such exquisite tactics, as long as it is not Arsenal In front of Na, no matter which Premier League team it is, it can directly stun people.

So no matter what, it is very important to ensure your own possession of the ball.

"However," but at this time, Dean changed the subject, with some gloating in his tone, "whether this is to control the ball at his feet, or to deliver food to Deportivo is not known."

Not to mention other things, almost all of Deportivo's attacking lineup is in Liverpool's half, and Gerrard's passing the football back has to be said to be a risky behavior.

If the ball is received by the people of Deportivo, it will not only be a one or two blow to Liverpool!

At this time, the first goal on the field has not yet been produced. Deportivo has almost succeeded many times, and Liverpool is obviously not far behind, but no matter how you say it, at least both sides still score zero goals. They are still evenly matched.

Benitez was very nervous, even more nervous than the players on the court.

He now knows where Liverpool's path to victory lies.

Now it is obvious that Deportivo is very cautious about Liverpool, and he also knows the reason. Even he himself was a little bit embarrassed about the energy that broke out against AC Milan in the last game, let alone other teams.

After figuring out the situation inside, he has roughly figured out what the routine is, and now he has some ideas about how to counterattack La Coruña...

The football rushed directly in the direction of Liverpool, and Benitez's slightly relaxed expression suddenly sank.

He now has a clue to counterattack, but that's at least the second half!And if Deportivo scored a goal in the first half, if their own reality is found out in this way, Liverpool will have a particularly headache in the second half!

So now, he should have been very cautious in commanding Liverpool's bluff...but that was based on the premise that Deportivo hadn't scored!

If the ball is received by Deportivo, what else is there to say?

What's terrible is that Gerrard is worthy of the title of his own goal prince, a long pass, and the football flies to Riise in an impartial way——

He is obviously his own teammate, why is he called the little prince of own goals?

But don't forget, the person guarding Riise's side is Romario!

At this time, there is no second desperate Steve Gerrard to block his heavy artillery!

Apparently, when Romario looked up, he also saw the football flying towards him. The expression on his face was very surprised. He was just about to catch the ball, but he felt his body crooked, staggered and pushed to the side.

Romario subconsciously turned his head and glared, only to see Riise jumping up to catch the ball at this moment, the strange color in Romario's eyes flashed away, he subconsciously glanced at the referee's direction, and immediately relaxed his movements, The whole person fell to the ground.

The ear-piercing whistle sounded, and the referee ran over with a stern expression. The old man Romario was lying on the ground covering his face, unable to see his expression clearly. Juan and Allen looked at each other, and at the same time showed A dumbfounding expression.

——To be honest, when he saw Riise push people, he already knew what the boss wanted to do.

Romario is an old fritter on the court, arrogant and crazy, and he will not let go of the opportunity to cheat the opponent!

Especially at this time, it was logical for him to fall to the ground. Almost everyone could see Lise pushing people in public, and he did not strike lightly, plus he was pushing people from behind... If it wasn't so far away from Deportivo's penalty area, it would be a red card and a penalty right now!

Of course, even if the current position is relatively close to Liverpool's penalty area, it is useless. After all, if you do it, you do it, and it is still under the nose of the referee.

Most people are paying attention to the football flying past!

Riise's face turned pale. Of course, he knew what would happen if he was sent off at this time. Liverpool could almost fall into a doomed situation immediately.

So when the Liverpool players gathered around to help him explain, their lips were trembling, and even their whole body was trembling, not daring to step forward to say anything.

The referee squatted down and looked at Romario's situation. After all, Romario was an old fritter, showing a bit of pain just right, but said that he was still able to compete. Immediately, the referee had a better impression of him and nodded. , and then looked at Riise.

Gerrard also flew over from the backcourt to intercede with the referee. He didn't expect such a long pass from himself to put Liverpool in such a crisis. It was too late to repent, but he didn't show anything. come out.

After all, that was the best way at the time, otherwise why wouldn't he want to hand the ball to Alonso, who is good at long passes?

But it doesn't help now. The referee is obviously not helping each other. It can be seen from the treatment of Gerrard at the beginning-but Gerrard was aiming at the ball by himself at that time. Going there is not considered a deliberate incident in La Coruña, so there is nothing wrong with handling it that way.

But what about now?

Under the gaze of both sides, the referee Gonzalez frowned and remained silent for a while, and then made his own penalty—one arm forward, pointing in the direction of the free throw.

"Direct free kick!"

Benitez's eyes darkened, while Deportivo showed a surprised smile.

"Backward collision, a direct free kick is cheap for them!" Allen said angrily while smiling, "No matter what you say, you should add a yellow card!"

Juan shook his head and said softly, "A direct free kick is enough."

A direct free kick is enough to send Liverpool to a more precarious situation!

However, Benitez breathed a sigh of relief.

He can still accept a direct free kick goal, at least this goal did not expose Liverpool's bottom, and Deportivo will continue to shoot rats in the next game, which is enough!

A goal...Liverpool can still chase!

They recovered all three goals, let alone one!

So although Benitez was very stern on the surface, he was secretly relieved in his heart. He subconsciously looked at Juan Dias on the other side. The little coach was obviously relieved, but He still didn't relax, obviously worried about Liverpool's possible counterattack next.

Benitez secretly smiled bitterly.

How can Liverpool counterattack?It's just a lonely courage to break the boat...

Of course, he himself would never reveal this matter, and the expression on his face didn't even show any similar meaning at all. He still had the same poker face, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

After discussing for a few minutes, Belleron and Romario stood in front of the football.

Seeing these two people, even Benitez swallowed all his thoughts, with a bitter expression on his face.

The next second, the whistle sounded, Belleron stopped on the spot and did not move, Romario stepped forward two steps, and the arch of his foot slammed on the football.

The colorful sprites are gone in a flash!
