Super Marshal

There is a saying that goes well, those who are arrogant are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying.

When a person can even take his life, then he will have nothing to fear.

The same goes for football teams.

When Deportivo was one goal behind and Irueta decided to go all out, the attacking ability shown by Super Deportivo was quite amazing. Even Atletico Madrid had to temporarily Avoid the edge.

But this does not mean that Atletico Madrid is at a disadvantage.

Deportivo's frontcourt possession tactics mainly rely on two players, one is the midfielder Belleron.

This player is known as the Zidane of Spain. Needless to say, his organizational ability and creativity are relatively thin and his confrontation ability is insufficient. This is the bottleneck that he has never been able to achieve as a master-level midfield organizer.

The other is a nominal left forward, but in fact he is a front midfielder, Fran.

I still remember that when Aragones mentioned to Gao Han about Camacho's strong Spanish national team, he focused on the midfielder of the team at that time. Forlan and Belleron hold the ball and penetrate.

Camacho was drawing lessons from Deportivo's tactics.

Gao Han and the coaching staff made it clear from the very beginning that to restrict Deportivo, Belleron and Fran had to be cut.

Therefore, when Deportivo desperately launched a counterattack, Atletico Madrid's midfielder Guardiola, Marcos Senna and right back Dario Srna consciously intercepted Belleron and Vernon. Lan, cut the link between them.

Deportivo's style of play is inherently adventurous. When the two most important ball handlers in the midfield are contained by the opponent, their entire offense will fall into chaos, and there will be more passing and possession errors.

Atlético Madrid defended the midfield with peace of mind, waited for the opportunity, and counterattacked when they had the opportunity.

In the first half, the Sheets did seize several very good counterattack opportunities, but Deportivo also increased their emphasis on defense, so they failed to score again.

But in the 51st minute of the second half, Deportivo, who had not been able to take the initiative in the game, became more impetuous, and finally showed his flaws, and Atletico Madrid seized a chance to counterattack.

In the counterattack, Kaka dribbled the ball and split it to the right. Dario Srna quickly inserted the edge and then made a pass. Torres deliberately missed the previous point, and Villa followed up with a push shot and hit.

Two to zero!

After leading by two goals, Atletico Madrid played more patiently, and Deportivo also fully woke up.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Irueta stood on the sidelines with a calm face.

In the stands, the fans of the home team also seemed relatively calm.

Their anger had already been exhausted during the game.

The whistle sounded, the game was over, everything was a foregone conclusion.

What's more, although Deportivo's away results this season are not ideal, their home results have been good.

Prior to this, Super Deportivo had only lost one game at the Riazor Stadium. It was the third round of the league, a home loss to Athletic Bilbao. Heynckes' team played in this game. It was very targeted, defended solidly, and relied on two defensive counterattacks to make Deportivo hate at home.

Against Atletico Madrid, it was the second home defeat of the season.

The fans of Deportivo can't criticize such a result and the famous marshal Irueta.

Irueta looked at the court calmly, but made a decision in his heart.

"This summer, we must change the team's persistent illness!" Irueta said loudly.

After listening to the assistant, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What is Deportivo's stubborn disease, whether it is inside the team, opponents, or even media reporters are well aware of it.

That is to have more than enough ball control and lack of speed.

If you fail to increase your speed, no matter how much you control the ball, it is useless.

But the team's current problem is not only this, even the top problem is not it, but the defense, especially the central defender.

La Coruña is not located in a big city, and its own finances are not rich. The reason why the performance has improved so much in the past few years, and even became addicted to the championship in two thousand years, is thanks to the The turmoil in Real Madrid and Barcelona was caused by the shrewd operation of Chairman Rendoiro, who accumulated a certain financial foundation in the 1990s, and then took advantage of the opponent's turbulence at the beginning of the century to increase investment.

For example, taking advantage of the fire to poach Belleron, Molina and Capdevila from Atletico Madrid is quite a shrewd deal.

Deportivo's transfer fee income from selling Flavio to Real Madrid was enough to buy these three players.

But now, the age structure of the team is gradually aging. If you want to maintain the competitiveness of the top four in the league, not only can you not sell people, but you have to increase the intensity of signings to supplement the team's fresh blood.

Given Deportivo's financial resources, every transaction has to be cautious.

If, as Irueta said, the team wants to make up for all the ills in the summer, then it is estimated that the club must at least increase investment.

Whether it is a frontcourt speed-type assaulter or a central defender, for Deportivo, without an investment of more than 20 million euros, it is absolutely impossible to fill these two positions.

And to persuade the club to invest 20 million euros, it is estimated that there is still a lot of wrangling.

Irueta is also well aware of this, but she is very emotional in her heart, and even looks at Gao Han with some envy.

To put it bluntly, Atletico Madrid's investment is far less than that of other teams in the middle and upper reaches of La Liga, but they have obtained a lineup that is too strong to envy. What's more frightening is that this lineup is still very young.

In other words, this is a very competitive team with great potential at the same time.

So, when he took the initiative to walk to the coach of the visiting team, forced a smile, and congratulated Gao Han on his victory, he asked for advice, "Where did you dig up so many treasures from?"

After Gao Han won the game, he was in a good mood and kept laughing, "Want to sign up?"

After getting Irueta's nod, Gao Han smiled and advertised, "Portugal players are good, you can ask my agent, he has a lot of connections."

Irueta smiled wryly, is this ad placed too hard? Simple, rude and direct!

But he had heard of the name of Jorge Mendes.

In the past year or so, this rising star has surpassed Jose Vega and has become one of the best brokers in Portugal. It is said that the players under his hands are very good and have a very accurate vision.

Could it be that... Gao Han's signings depended on Mendes' recommendation?

Well, it's possible.

I heard that players including Villa, Kaka and Deco are all Mendes players.

Thinking of this, Irueta secretly made a note in her heart, and she must tell Londo Roy about this person later.

Atletico Madrid beat Deportivo 2-0 away in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, which excited countless fans of the Sheets Legion, and even many fans were looking forward to it. *****Go ahead and give your sworn enemy a good look.

But this game did not attract much attention, because two major events happened in Spanish football.

One is another game in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. The superstar-studded Real Madrid was reversed by Heynckes' team with two goals in an away game. In the end, they came back with a score of 1-2. A shadow was cast.

Although it was an away game, Real Madrid started very threateningly. Zidane took advantage of the mistake of the Athletic Bilbao central defender to score in the fourth minute and gave the Galacticos the lead.

But in the second half, Athletic Bilbao counterattacked with two consecutive long passes from the backcourt. Echeberia and Urses broke through Casillas' goal respectively, reversing the score and keeping it until the end.

If you simply look at the score, Real Madrid still has a chance when they return to the Bernabeu, but if you look at the whole game, especially after leading in the second half, Bosque's conservatism and the slackness of Real Madrid's players make people feel that Bilba E Athletic may even be upset.

Real Madrid has invested a huge amount of money in the event, inviting sports celebrities from all over the world, as well as political and business celebrities from Europe and Spain to participate, and even the King of Spain personally presides over the overall situation. Call it unprecedented.

The Copa del Rey final is the brightest jewel in the crown.

Just ask, what a shame it would be if Real Madrid missed the final!

Because of this, many media, including the mouthpiece Aspen, criticized Real Madrid's performance and also criticized Bosque's conservative tactics. They believed that with Real Madrid's attack power, they should play more aggressively. .

Even Real Madrid general manager Valdano has come forward to say that the team is determined to win the Copa del Rey.

Coincidentally, something happened to the Galaxy Battleship, and the sworn enemy Barcelona was not having a good time.

Madrid TV 3 broke an amazing news, that is, on the day before Barcelona's away game against Vallecano last Saturday night, there were five Barcelona players, including two Dutch and three Spaniards, Party all night in Room 821 at the Hotel Esperia in Madrid.

Although the leading actor is well-known, the four leading actresses are equally as good, including Romario's ex-girlfriend, the famous Spanish model Monroy.

As for what five players and four women did in Room 821, who knows?

But as soon as the media broke the news, this news immediately became the focus of attention from all of Spain and even the whole world.

For a time, Barcelona's limelight even overshadowed Real Madrid.

"The house leak happened to rain overnight, and this season's Barcelona is over!"

This was Gao Han's first reaction after seeing the report.

The building was already about to collapse, but now this scandal has become the last straw that crushes Barcelona.

How can Catalans, who have always been proud and conceited, accept such a scandal?

"In the final analysis, if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the upper body is not straight, and all kinds of moths will come out below."

Gao Han is very fortunate now that he was not seduced by Barcelona before, otherwise, he should be burning his ass by now.

As for the truth of this matter, whether it is true or false, who knows?

There may never even be an answer.

"Do you think there is hope for Athletic Bilbao?" Cantarero asked with concern.

In the twenty-eighth round of the league, that is, on March 2, Atletico Madrid will challenge Real Madrid away.

If Athletic Bilbao can upset Real Madrid, then Atletico Madrid will be relatively easy.

But if the Galaxy battleship successfully enters the final, the Madrid Derby will reunite in the Copa del Rey final. Of course there will be a gimmick, but there will be two games against Real Madrid in four days, and the pressure is quite high.

At the very least, the thickness of Atletico Madrid's bench is far inferior to that of Real Madrid.

After Gao Han heard this, he looked at his right-hand assistant and smiled confidently.

"Whether it's the derby or the Copa del Rey final, no matter who the opponent is, we always have one goal..."

"……win!"
