On September 27, one week after the last game, the Deportivo La Coruña team flew to Pamplona, the capital of the Navarra Autonomous Region, to challenge the Osasuna football team.
The Autonomous Region of Navarre is located on the border between Spain and France. It is also a coastal area with a straight coastline in the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, except that Lacó is in the west and Navarre is in the east.
Osasuna is a second-rate team in Spain. Regardless of whether it is in La Liga or not, it has never won a championship in Spain's top competitions in history. However, in recent years, it has stubbornly stayed in the ranks of La Liga, but every time it is shaky.
, just can’t go on. The team doesn’t have much money, so they are all role players, and you can’t really find a big-name star. The head coach is a Mexican named Javier Aguirre, and he led the Mexican team to participate in the competition last year
The World Cup.
Since Osasuna is an agricultural and tourism city with little money, so with a bunch of simple role players, Javier doesn't have much ambition. Staying in La Liga means victory. So he is very conservative in tactics. At the same time, Osasuna
Suna is ranked very low in La Liga, so there are fewer game tasks and light game burdens, and the corresponding players' physical fitness and condition are maintained very well.
This also means that Osasuna is a troublesome opponent. In the first four games of this season, Osasuna also achieved two wins, one draw and one loss, before losing to last season's champion Valencia.
In West Asia, even Barcelona failed to defeat them at Camp Nou.
Before the game, Javier told Deportivo that he wanted to teach Depor a lesson. Irueta responded with a smile. He knew that the opponent was ambitious to qualify for the UEFA Cup this season, so he was too lazy to quarrel with his opponent.
Both sides know that Depor's average age is older, while Osasuna's players are more practical.
At 1:30 a.m. on September 28, Beijing time, and at 19:30 on the 27th, Spanish local time, the home and away teams officially kicked off at the El Sadar Stadium.
Wang Ai is still a substitute in this game, but he is sitting closer to the head coach. In Deportivo, Irueta has been the head coach for five years. Although he always has conflicts with the players, the status of the coach is
It is unbreakable and has a strong authority. Therefore, there are certain considerations about where the substitute players sit.
Wang Ai watched the game carefully from the sidelines. He had a premonition that this game might have to be discussed. Because the weather was a bit cold today, it rained all day, and the turf of the stadium was very wet. This was a big problem for Depor, who played gorgeously.
limit.
At the same time, Wang Ai observed before the game that the team's physical fitness dropped rapidly due to frequent attacks on multiple fronts. There was no obvious improvement after a week's rest. Several of the main players were even unwell and were unable to go forward with the team.
Come.
Sure enough, the home team, which had seen Depor's roster before the game, was very active and had great ambitions to take advantage of Depor's discomfort and score three points. Osasuna's rather solid defense allowed Depor, who was mainly technical, to
The frontcourt was difficult, and their counterattack made Depor feel uncomfortable.
All in all, this was a slightly awkward game, and the entire Depor team was not in good shape.
After 45 minutes, the two sides were temporarily tied at 2:2.
Irueta led the team back to the locker room with a dark face.
Wang Ai knew that this guy was also a troll in the locker room, and he especially liked to expose people's wounds when talking. In other words, he would do whatever he wanted to do.
Sure enough, Irueta turned on the hair dryer as soon as he arrived in the dressing room. He spoke so fast and urgently that Wang Ai couldn't hear clearly, and Constance didn't even have time to translate.
After five minutes of blowing, the players were silent. One of them was used to being scolded. Irueta, an old man, was so anxious that he dared to fight with a young and strong boy. Last year, midfielder Sergio was in the training ground.
He got angry and slapped his head on his face. As a result, Sergio's main position was lost. Because of this, he didn't even go to the World Cup last year.
Irueta was angry enough. He glanced at Wang Ai in the corner, who was secretly poking at the excitement. He pointed at Wang Ai and said a string of bird songs. He didn't know what he said. Maybe he had forgotten. Wait until he finished spraying.
Wang Ai's eyes were blank, and he said fiercely: "Hurry up and learn Spanish! If you don't know the language, you are not a qualified professional player!"
Well, the last sentence was translated by Constance.
Wang Ai smiled and nodded. He is not as knowledgeable as the old man. Everything depends on the performance on the field.
After twenty days of joint training and competition, Wang Ai has initially won the recognition of his teammates, especially the players who scored goals with his several assists. Their attitude towards Wang Ai is obviously very friendly. And Wang Ai himself has also initially experienced
Depor's tactics are ready to explode.
Returning to the second half, Deportivo's offense showed no significant improvement. Irueta replaced center Tristan to try to make an impact, but the attack for ten minutes had no effect. Instead, Belleron was physically exhausted and asked to leave the game.
He had some minor injuries before the game, and after fighting for most of the game against a physically fit opponent, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Whether it is the club owner, the head coach or even himself, he knows that he is the most stable engine in the midfield of this team, but he cannot be injured. Compared with the Champions League, the importance of a league game is not very high.
Irueta turned to look at Wang Ai, frowned and waved her hand.
Wang Ai stood up and shook his shoulders, and his coat was thrown on the chair in a cool manner. The back of the jersey was mainly white with light blue patterns, and No. 44, the largest number in the team at present, was clearly visible.
Beleron walked to the sidelines and high-fived Wang Ai, smiling and saying, "Leave it to you."
Wang Ai nodded with a smile and stepped onto the wet turf.
The Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game finally saw Wang Ai's appearance again, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.
This time, Wang Ai switched to attacking midfielder. I don't know what Irueta was thinking, but he changed several positions. But Wang Ai didn't care, he felt very strong about scoring today.
Unexpectedly, before Wang Ai could find any good opportunity, Osasuna scored again less than three minutes after Wang Ai came on the field. After a melee in front of the goal, Osasuna kicked the football into Pablo's legs and changed direction.
refracted into the net.
Osasuna fans excitedly waved flags on the sidelines to cheer for the home team. This is the first strong team Osasuna has killed this season! They lost to Valencia, drew with Barcelona, and defeated Deportivo.
What a fantastic start.
It's a pity that Depor started today with not only a dog, but also a Chinese doctor, who is said to have the highest IQ among active players in the world.
Several hundred Depor fans who came specially to support the match also had high hopes for Wang Ai's appearance.
You, a dignified World Cup silver boot, have played three games and failed to score a single goal. You even gave up free kicks. Is there something wrong with this? Why is the club not paying you enough?
What they don't know is that at this moment, Wang Ai's chest is filled with the desire to break the door, looking forward to a full-scale explosion.
