Chapter 128: The Battle of the New King (Part 1)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 This season's La Liga is the season where the little devil is king. Ronaldinho, the core player that Barcelona spent a lot of money to introduce, has experienced a slump at the beginning of the season and left the field after an accidental injury for a month, and his condition has exploded.

He scored 11 goals and had 6 assists in La Liga. At the same time, the European golden boy of Deportivo La Coruna, who is also a championship contender, missed two months due to the World Youth Championship and an accidental injury.

After the game, they also scored 10 goals and 5 assists. Currently, both of them rank among the top ten goalscorers in La Liga, and they are avant-garde players rather than forwards. For example

Torres, Atletico Madrid's pure forward, has scored 14 goals so far and is closely chasing Ronaldo, who has 17 goals.

Among the three, Ronaldinho is 24 years old, Wang Ai is 16 years old, and Torres is 20 years old. They are all the absolute core players of each team. If Wang Ai had not played fewer games and played less total time, his performance would have been very poor.

It will be better.

Therefore, the league game that will be held at the Nou Camp on March 1st is the most important event of this round, and it is also hyped by the media as the "Battle of the Newcomers" in La Liga this season. Although Ronaldinho has just

At 24 years old, he is still considered a "junior", but he is seven or eight years older than Wang Ai. Normally, with a gap of seven or eight years, Ronaldinho can be called a "veteran".

Before the game, when reporters tried to dig up some hard facts and let the two contenders for La Liga's Rookie of the Year award have something to say to each other, both parties unanimously chose not to be fooled. Among them, Ronaldinho said "not nervous."

, always laughing and joking, Wang Ai was too lazy to spit in this situation, especially he didn't want to be fooled. Therefore, the two sides did not quarrel.

However, the two young men in charge did not quarrel, but the other players on both sides were not honest. As Lendoiro revealed before the game, Depor players all knew that they had been cheated by Barcelona's gold and dollar offensive, so the words

The words were not very polite. Of course, Barcelona's Dutch coach Frank Rijkaard was not one to take advantage of the situation. He sprayed Depor up and down in front of "Daily Sports", which was almost his own media.

Even his unbeaten record in 26 rounds was considered by him to be opportunistic and due to luck.

Of course, Rijkaard, who has only been in Barcelona for half a season, may have been tricked by the unlimited "Daily Sports". But in the final analysis, the Dutch have a big mouth, and they can criticize the sky.

It is a national character to fight against the ground and the air, not to mention outsiders, they even look down on their own people. In every European Cup and World Cup, the Dutch team will definitely have internal strife, and it will definitely be very violent. They look down on each other and confront each other.

Scolding, spitting in various ways, quitting in various ways.

In short, before the game, because the coaches and players of both sides frequently opened their mouths under the temptation of the media, this game has been incited.

At four o'clock in the morning on March 1, Beijing time, and at eight o'clock in the evening on February 28, local time in Spain, the two sides were ready to go at the Riazor Stadium. Wang Ai, who had already rested for two games, was finally put into the main lineup by the head coach this time.

During the process, when the players from both sides shook hands, Wang Ai and Ronaldinho smiled friendly at each other. The last time the two sides met was in the 2002 World Cup group stage. Unfortunately, Wang Ai used an off-set move in that game.

The two did not fight directly.

In addition to Ronaldinho, No. 9 Kluivert, No. 11 Overmars, No. 20 Quaresma, No. 21 Enrique, and No. 24 Iniesta in this team are all considered

Well-known stars. Among them, Wang Ai and Iniesta have met for the second time. The last time was at the World Youth Championship. In comparison, Depor's star reputation is far behind.

During the warm-up, Wang Ai also took the time to look at Barcelona's substitute lineup, and unexpectedly saw a small man guarding the water fountain. He was wearing a Barcelona uniform and following the staff busy, unlike a regular substitute player.

Sitting on the bench like that.

It seems that Messi is still fighting for the opportunity to play. It is true that he has entered the first team, but it is still too early to make his debut. Wang Ai, who is 16 years and 3 months old, can already play the main role in Deportivo, while 16 years and 9 years old

Months later, Messi is still doing odd jobs in Barcelona's first team.

When he thought of this, Wang Ai couldn't help but feel happy. He started at a higher level than Messi. But when he thought about the future achievements of this smiling and gentle boy, he couldn't help but laugh. Time waits for no man.

At 8 o'clock sharp, the game between the two sides started.

No one can explain why Rey is so excited. The head coach Irueta is sullen and hugging his shoulders. Therefore, Wang Ai's running distance at the beginning of the game was extremely active. The opposing Barcelona right back Gabri continued

I was teased by Wang Ai three times and could hardly keep up with Wang Ai's rhythm.

Wang Ai's excited performance from the beginning also made his teammates a little uncomfortable. Unless arranged by the coach, players usually try to keep their state as stable as possible during the game. The first ten minutes are equivalent to warm-up time, and in the end

The exciting time points should be the 15 and 35 minutes of the first and second half.

Therefore, there was a disconnect in tactical coordination between Wang Ai, who was too excited for a while, and his teammates.

The reason why Wang Ai is so excited is not only because he feels the pressure of the little demon Messi who is about to appear in football, but also because he is "fearful" that Ronaldinho used an off-the-table move when he met the Brazilian team last time.

Self-shame.

Therefore, Wang Ai wants to "avenge his previous shame", although Ronaldinho does not know it.

Although Wang Ai's exciting performance did not score a goal, it disrupted Deportivo's tactical arrangements. Likewise, it also disrupted Barcelona's tactical arrangements. Just like Irueta couldn't figure it out, Rijkaard couldn't figure it out either.

Understand. This crucial battle unfolded in a situation where the fans were enthusiastic and the coach was not satisfied. From a small point of view, it was a series of exciting events, but from a big point of view, it was messy.

In the eighth minute of the game, Wang Ai regained consciousness after another instigated attack but failed. Deportivo's offensive also slowed down as Wang Ai's storm temporarily subsided. But at this moment, Barcelona scored.

After Kluivert stole the ball in the middle, he passed it diagonally to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho was extremely flexible and dodged Romero's block, passed to the middle, and midfielder Enrique shot directly from a long distance.

hit.

After scoring, Enrique roared into the stands of Riazor Stadium.

Most people in the Riazor stands were silent.

Wang Ai walked back to the half court with his head shaking, and Beleron beside him was whispering comfort. Wang Ai was a little confused. He was not always able to calmly analyze the overall situation. He had not yet discovered the disconnect between him and his teammates.

.On the contrary, I was a little confused about the opponent's sudden goal: I have worked so hard, how could you possibly score first?
