Super Marshal

On the court, Deco was always running, as if he would never tire.

He is very silent and low-key, and the deepest impression left on people is the back view of him running on the court without hesitation.

A reporter once asked him, what makes him have such motivation on the court?

Deco replied with his shy and bitter smile, "I cherish everything I have now!"

This is his confession from the heart, but it is always ignored.

He was born in Sao Bernardo, Brazil. Like other people of his age, he played football for entertainment since he was a child, and dreamed of changing his and his family's life by playing football. However, he has no extraordinary talent. Always hanging out in small clubs.

Even if he was lucky enough to go to Corinthians later, he failed to play for this strong Brazilian domestic team.

When he was nineteen, an agent told him that Benfica wanted a midfielder and they wanted him, and the club's manager told him that he had to go to Portugal because the team had agreed.

Deco has never left Brazil, nor has he ever thought of leaving Brazil, even if his agent hadn't told him, he didn't even know that his grandfather was born in Portugal, which made it easier for him to land in Portugal than others league.

In this way, he landed in Portugal with a feeling of uneasiness and longing for the future in a daze and ignorance, but in the end, the cruel reality gave him a blow to the head.

It turned out that the agent was lying!

Benfica never wanted him, they had no interest in a kid who had never proven himself in Brazil.

But he has already come out, and if he wants to stay in Portugal, he can only continue to hang out in small teams.

So, he joined the national team and was loaned to the second-level Arvika team to play.

Deco remained sober from beginning to end. He knew that if he wanted to stay in Europe, he had to work harder than anyone else. Only in this way could he stay. Otherwise, he would be eliminated and sent back to Brazil.

During his time in Arvika, he played the main role and did a pretty good job.

So soon, he was spotted by Porto.

The head coach at the time was Fernando Santos. He taught Deco a lot and taught him how to gain a foothold in the European professional league, which made his strength grow by leaps and bounds.

After playing for Porto for three years, he was promoted from a substitute to a main force, and he received an invitation from Atletico Madrid.

This is a wider stage than Porto, and it is also a more eye-catching team than Porto.

They have just created a miracle in La Liga, and the team is preparing to do a big job after returning to La Liga, and even make a difference in the European arena.

The young head coach of the team is actually the same age as Deco, but his coaching in the team convinced Deco.

Even, as long as Gao Han speaks, Deco can play as a substitute.

Because of the high cold, Deco is truly famous in Europe, making Deco truly a first-class midfielder in La Liga and even European football.

He still clearly remembers that Gao Han told him that at Atletico Madrid, he would become the best midfielder in Europe, and in fact, he did.

All of this is inseparable from the high cold!

For this coach, Deco is only grateful.

In the past two years, Gao Han has created a fantastic team for Atletico Madrid. First, he staged a newly promoted team in La Liga, then made a fuss in the Bernabéu Stadium in the Copa del Rey, and later defeated AC Milan to win the UEFA Cup. crown king.

All of this makes everyone on the team feel incredible.

Even after the season ended, each of them looked back on the past season and wondered if they were dreaming.

Gao Han brought them self-confidence, and they were also full of confidence in Gao Han.

Therefore, when Gao Han said in the locker room this season that the team was going to make a difference in the Champions League, everyone was applauding and cheering, and no one doubted it.

Because they believe that as long as they are led by Gao Han, nothing is impossible.

Facts have proved that the darkest death group in the history of the Champions League failed to stop Atletico Madrid from advancing.

The same goes for Phase 2!

Deco firmly believes that everyone in the team has the same belief as him.

Like the team's head coach Gao Han, they are eager to succeed and prove themselves.

They have already tasted the wonderful taste of success, and they don't want to go back to the old days of hiding in the corner of the league and being unknown.

They like to accept challenges, like encounters, and defeat one after another stronger opponents than themselves.

That sense of accomplishment, that sense of satisfaction, is enough for them to look back on for a lifetime.

All that Deco thinks in his heart has never been told to anyone. He hides it in the deepest part of his heart, but it turns into motivation on the court.

Every time he plays, every time he makes an appearance, he must do his best.

However, Manchester United was clearly different from any team they had encountered before.

This is a team full of British style, the pace is very fast, and often when one side receives the ball, the other side's opponent is already approaching, so there is no room for hesitation.

Manchester United's players are very understanding with each other, quick and concise continuous kicks, this is the characteristic of the Red Devils players, combined with their active off-ball running, the Red Devils can easily form an advantage on the court.

But Atletico Madrid is also not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Under Gao Han's training, the tactical framework that has been adhered to in the past three seasons is very stable, and the players' cooperation is also full of tacit understanding. The smooth and skillful passing and cutting cooperation, and the compact and orderly overall formation allow Atletico Madrid to be under the impact of Manchester United. There was no confusion at all, but they fought against the Red Devil's needlepoint.

There is no good or effective way for both teams to take each other.

Although Manchester United had the advantage, the offense failed to pose a threat.

Giggs, who was the most active this season, was completely frozen by Diego Simeone on the wing.

As a teammate, everyone knows how difficult that damned Argentine is.

What's more, Simeone said in the locker room before the game that what he enjoys most is the hatred from his opponents.

The more he hates, the more excited he is.

The hatred of Beckham and Manchester United fans completely ignited the Argentine.

But continuing like this is not an option, the team cannot always be passively beaten.

Deco is always observing the surrounding situation, always paying attention to the slightest changes on both sides on the court.

Manchester United attaches great importance to the defense of their front trident, and even often uses five people to defend three of them.

This is not surprising, because Villa, Torres and Kaka are quite a threat no matter whether they cooperate as a team or fight alone, which is something no team dares to underestimate.

However, Manchester United's overall defense in this game was well organized, and the Trident failed to pose a threat.

Just like Giggs, Scholes and Ruud van Nistelrooy were frozen.

"We've got to make some adjustments," Deco thought to himself.

Because of the trident in the frontcourt, Atletico Madrid's offense is mainly concentrated in the center, and the flanks rely on the forward penetration of the two full-backs. forward.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid has never been able to play a threatening offense.

"When the team's frontcourt attack is blocked, you should go forward more decisively, or pull the side, which can break the deadlock on the field."

This is what Diego Simeone said to Deco during a locker room exchange.

It is said that this guy did this when he played for Atletico Madrid.

And he scored more than a dozen goals in a single season, which made him a well-known top midfielder in European football.

It's just that he's old now, and he's powerless.

But Deco can!

Thinking of this, Deco understood in his heart.

"During the attack, I'll go up, can you do it?" Deco approached Javi Alonso and asked.

The Basque midfielder's eyes flashed with surprise, but he nodded firmly: "No problem."

They have cooperated for more than a year, and they have established a tacit understanding with each other.

Looking at Simeone again, the latter also nodded, with encouragement in his eyes.

Soon, Manchester United launched another offensive.

This time it was initiated by Gary Neville and Beckham on the right.

Deco leaned over for the first time and entangled Gary Neville who dribbled up.

This kid was very active after the start, as if there was no one on the left side of Atletico Madrid.

During the entanglement, Gary Neville immediately passed the ball to Beckham, but at this time Jankulovski had already come up, and he poked his foot before Beckham.

The ball was poked off.

Deco received the ball on the left flank with Gary Neville right behind him.

"He's trying to force me to pass back." Deco thought to himself.

At this time, Jankulovski had already run to the neutral position, so Deco didn't have time to think about it, and immediately returned a pass, and he turned around and rushed forward along the left road.

Jankulovski also understood. Facing the incoming ball, he made an overhead ball without thinking, and directly picked the ball to the front of Deco.

This surprised Gary Neville, and immediately turned around and chased him back.

Deco was not fast and Gary Neville caught up quickly.

But when he was about to block Deco, the Brazilian midfielder suddenly stopped, then changed direction, smashing the ball to the middle.

The sudden change surprised all Manchester United players, including Gary Neville.

Gao Han on the sidelines was even brighter, and his whole body became excited.

"There is a chance, there is a chance!"

Gao Han immediately entered the coaching system.

"Start using the Samsung assist card, target: Deco!"

...

On the court, Deco threw away Gary Neville, and after dribbling the ball inside, his eyes suddenly brightened, and the chaotic scene suddenly became clear and clear.

He saw Roy Keane, the Manchester United captain rushing towards him.

He also saw Kaka and wanted to be ready at any time to respond to his pass.

And Bart, the Manchester United midfielder followed Kaka, but was a little distracted by the movement on his side.

All of these flooded into his mind in an instant, and the feeling of enlightenment gave him an almost high-spirited pleasure in an instant, and he threw the ball into it without thinking. Kaka passed in front of him.

...

"Okay, good pass!"

When Gao Han saw this scene in the coaching system, he was overwhelmed, but with a thought, he used micromanagement.

"Adjust the target of the Samsung assist card, Kaka!"

...

Kaka cooperated with Deco very tacitly. As soon as the latter passed, he immediately accelerated and rushed forward.

Keane turned his back to him, and Bart was left behind by him. Kaka sprinted, and at that moment a small unguarded area was formed at the front of Manchester United's penalty area.

In the penalty area, Brown and Ferdinand were taken aback, and the former ignored Villa and rushed up quickly.

But he is fast, Kaka is faster than him.

Before Brown could get close, Kaka took a step ahead and pushed the incoming ball.

The ball quickly rolled past Brown, and Villa, who was unguarded, started in an instant and quickly plugged in.
