Section 52 The Golden Boy Shines in Monaco (Act 2: Tiger Walk)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 In fact, when Monaco scored the fourth goal, Depor's command system had collapsed. Irueta subconsciously chewed gum and was speechless. Since coming to Depor, he spent five years

Time has brought this team from a championship contender to a champion. In Spain, he can fight whoever he wants. At Real Madrid's centenary celebration, he smashed the opponent's sign and snatched the King's Cup championship.

That's Real Madrid! The football team closest to the Spanish royal family. When everyone wants to make Real Madrid's centenary celebration a success, he doesn't give face. Not to mention Barcelona and Valencia, which can really compete with these top teams.

As for Real Betis, Sevilla, Villarreal, etc., he didn't pay attention at all. In the past five years, Irueta has brought Depor a league championship, two league runner-ups, and one league championship.

Copa del Rey champion, two Super Cup champions, and even won an unprecedented double with Depor in 2002.

When Depor won the double crown, the ignorant Depor fans celebrated for three days and three nights!

Relying on Depor's thin financial situation and being able to withstand Real Madrid's first phase of Galacticos in the past few years, Irueta is indeed qualified to be proud and arrogant. He also deserves the title of King of Galicia.

However, he ultimately made a miscalculation in this game. He did not pay attention to a small detail before the game. The home team's Croatian forward Pulsho openly declared that the day of the game was his birthday, and he wanted to score a goal to commemorate it!

Last season, he played 20 times in Monaco, scoring 12 goals and becoming the team's top scorer.

Irueta sneered at this, "What's wrong with birthdays? I will encounter countless opponents' birthdays this year when I lead the team, and you will transform on your birthday? My more than 20 team members also have birthdays once a year, and they don't see them either."

Until they land on the moon!

In fact, no one took Purchao's rhetoric seriously. It was just part of the pre-game war of words.

It's a pity that Irueta, who has little experience in international competitions, did not notice a problem, that is, Croats and Russians are both Slavic people. People of this ethnic group are usually stupid, but the premise is not to drink. As long as they drink,

Here’s a “Wild at Heart” for you!

And birthdays happen to be a special kind of stimulant.

Therefore, Irueta's forward pressing style did not scare the loose Monaco people, but aroused their arrogance. Pulsaud even got the "birthday buff" and scored three goals in the first half.

Facing a 1:5 deficit, Deportivo's locker room was extremely dull. Irueta also lost interest in turning on the hair dryer. Obviously, this is not the player's problem, it is really the opponent's condition that is too good. To be honest,

Let's say that in a football match, a goal was scored in the first 45 minutes. Deportivo's performance was not bad. Irueta continued to make the decision to stick to the offensive style of play.

In fact, it is impossible not to attack. If you are so far behind and still shrinking, do you want Depor to lose face? How can you be worthy of the thousands of Depor fans who came with the team?

Returning after 15 minutes, the two sides exchange places.

The result was almost exactly the same as the first half. Deportivo continued to preface, and Monaco, who was extremely relaxed, continued to fight back, and they succeeded consecutively from the beginning. In the 47th minute of the game, Roten once again deceived Molina's shot with a single shot, but Molina missed it.

He blocked it with his leg, but Pulsho followed up and shot a shot into the net. In the 51st minute of the game, Rodriguez crossed the ball to Plath, and Plath hit a powerful long shot from 40 meters away from the goal.

In the 31st minute of the game, facing Depor who finally adjusted their formation and no longer pressed forward, in a positional battle, Giuly passed the ball directly in front of the goal, and substitute forward Cisse finally scored the goal.

Although during this process, Depor also launched two successful, even beautiful counterattacks, but...he was actually scored eight goals!

When Molina fished the last ball out of the goal, he was so sad that he wanted to laugh! My fate was so miserable. Am I starring in the French opera "Les Misérables"?

With an eight-goal lead, Monaco did not relax and continued to look for opportunities to attack. On the Deportivo side, Irueta had completely given up command, but the players on the field were still tenaciously pursuing victory. When trailing 1:5

, pursued hard, and when trailing 1:6, tried hard to get a goal back, and it became 2:6, and then it was rewritten to 2:7 again, and then continued to attack, chasing the score to 3:7. And after falling behind 3:8

At that time, they still did not give up the game and were still working hard to find offensive opportunities. Tristan, Belleron, Pablo, Jose, and Sergio were still on the court despite the fatigue and fierce confrontations from many games.

A futile attack.

Time and time again, it failed.

Although their efforts did not win the sympathy of the home team's fans, nor did they win the home team's letting go, it warmed the frozen hearts of the Depor fans. The once silent square of Depor fans once again sounded the passionate cheers.

Team song!

Their efforts also awakened the silent European golden boy who was silent in the substitute lineup. This is the first time that he feels that this team is friendly and cute! If you don't look at Depor's tenacity under such extreme adversity, you really

You may think that it is normal to give up the game when you are behind by a big score.

For example, in domestic football, if you are behind by a big score, you will either actually give up the game, or you will vent your anger and intimidate the opponent. But what about Deportivo? This civilian team is still pursuing victory after being behind by such a big score.

And it is a pure pursuit of victory. There is no despair and discouragement in a desperate situation, and there is no anger after being provoked by the "champion" airs.

They just continued to play football quietly, without even yelling at each other. Even though there were no smiles on their faces, they were still quiet and persistent.

This was the first time that Wang Ai felt so deeply what a professional player is and what professional ethics is!

When Irueta turned his head and glanced at the bench out of boredom, he was firmly attracted by two eyes. He found that the "Doctor" who had always been smiling and unhurried was eager, even

He looked at him with no doubt.

Just looking at him straightly, Irueta even felt a little hot, as if he had been irradiated by two lasers.

Irueta made a gesture unconsciously, then shook his head: "Warm up."

A few minutes later, No. 11 Jose Amaviska, the left midfielder who was quite active in this game, received the order to be substituted. It happened that he had some discomfort in his left leg after a fierce collision.

Walking to the sidelines, the curly-haired Jose high-fived Wang Ai. He had already passed by, but then turned around and hugged his youngest teammate, giving him a silent hug.

Wang Ai didn't look at him, took a deep breath, and stared at the field with strong eyes. His two straight eyebrows were gradually raised.

Liu Jianhong saw Wang Ai's expression through the small lens and suddenly realized something.

Yes, Wang Ai has never had such a strong desire to save the team at this moment. The last time it was so intense was at the World Cup more than a year ago. At that time, he was still a little immature, but now, he has

All the passion is buried in the chest.

Even if he faces a desperate situation, even if he faces an abyss, even if there is a sea of ​​​​fire ahead of him, he must be like a real Deportivo player, never look back and never give up!

The Chinese say: We know that there are tigers in the mountains, but we prefer to go to the tiger mountains!
