Before this game, Depor had been unbeaten for nine games. If you include the King's Cup and the Champions League, it was 13 games unbeaten, with twelve wins. Such a brilliant record also made "Super Depor"
"The reputation of "Champion Depor" has become weaker, and the reputation of "Champion Depor" has become louder.
Especially for Deportivo fans, the Riazor Stadium is extremely crowded every time there is a game. Every away game, a large number of Deportivo teams travel with the team. Even another team in Galicia
Fans of La Liga team Celta Vigo also secretly watched Depor's game.
However, Depor's current unbeaten streak of 13 games is somewhat lucky. For example, in the Osasuna game, Wang Ai used his personal performance to help Depor survive a difficult game.
After a period of low ebb, the team continued its undefeated record.
In today's game against Murcia, Deportivo had another low performance.
The whole game was extremely boring. Murcia resolutely chose defensive counterattack tactics in the face of the powerful Depor. The dense crowd made Depor, who was already in poor condition, helpless. Irueta always stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, occasionally shouting
A shout.
However, due to the overly intensive schedule, no matter how much he yelled, the players' performance was still not exciting. Pandiani had several threatening attacks, but they were successfully resolved by the Murcia team who defended full-time and strived for a draw. Even in the second half
Irueta replaced Wang Ai, but he failed to score in the end.
Wang Aida added a lot of variables to Depor's offensive, but he could not control the whole team, and in the end he could only regretfully get a draw.
However, Irueta is basically satisfied, because he has put all his attention on the fourth game of the Champions League group stage three days later. This game will almost determine the final ranking of this group.
Deportivo, which has won all three games in the first three games, is currently ranked first, and its most powerful opponent, Monaco, has been hiding its main force since the last round of French Ligue 1. It seems that it will avenge its humiliation at home. This is not good for Depor.
What's interesting is that, except for the underdog AEK Athens, the last game against Eindhoven was also an away game. At the Philips Stadium, Hiddink, the Dutch coach, must have dug a deep hole for Depor.
Therefore, when we go to Monaco in three days, whether we can defeat our opponents will be crucial for Deportivo's next games. If we defeat Monaco twice, then qualifying for the group will be stable. We can lose the next two games, which will affect the schedule.
Depor, which is too dense, is a respite.
After spending a night in Murcia, the team did not return to A Coruna. Instead, they took a plane directly across the Eastern Mediterranean and arrived at the small country across the sea from Corsica.
This place is extremely rich! Otherwise, a 2.2-kilometer land cannot support a French giant. Deschamps, the Monaco young coach, did not show an aggressive momentum at the pre-match press conference, with a unique French attitude.
Romantic or Arrogant responded to the reporter's question about "game prospects": "We lost a small goal in Spain in the last game because we did not adjust our state. Now, we seem to be ready, but we just don't know what the opponent's state is.
"
Irueta, another protagonist of the joint press conference, instantly became the focus. Facing Deschamps's change of topic, Irueta said with his usual black face: "We are ready to dedicate a wonderful game to the fans.
Already."
Then there was no other expression, no matter how the reporters raised their hands, they would not give any specific answers.
Deschamps' statement put a lot of pressure on Irueta. Because Deportivo's state has not been very good recently, he has a certain offensive power, but not enough toughness. This is the fifth game in half a month. And
The characteristics of the French team are very different from other leagues, because the French do not place too many other feelings on football, such as feelings of family and country. Although they will be excited when the French team wins, there are even football hooligans, but
The football culture here regards football more as a game and does not pay much attention to the outcome of the league. Therefore, the burden on players in Ligue 1 is relatively light, and France is far richer than Spain. The French team’s
The financial situation is also better than that of Spain. At least compared to Monaco and Deportivo, just like the regions where the two teams belong, the differences are obvious.
This characteristic gives the French team a special temperament: often careless and extremely relaxed performance on the field. They may be defeated by the underdogs in a daze and easily take their bags home. But they also often have sudden outbursts.
, beat the strong teams to the ground. In short, the French's overly relaxed attitude makes football more rounded.
This is actually more in line with the healthy football concept and football ideal pursued by Wang Ai. It is best to regard football as a pure game, and then players can be highly involved.
Facing Monaco, any result of the game may happen, so everyone in Deportivo cannot help but be nervous.
The day before the game, Depor went to the Louis II Stadium to adapt to the venue. The French fans who were watching were booing, making the game even more tense. The sports media from various countries published that day also focused on this upcoming incident.
Great war.
CCTV decided to broadcast this game live. So, facing Liu Jianhong who came specially, Wang Ai accepted a brief interview.
"I don't have many predictions for this game." Wang Ai said with a slightly serious expression: "It would be best if the game goes well, maybe I don't need to come on? Or I can just come on in the second half to maintain my condition. But I guess it's possible
It’s not going to go well.”
"Why? Because the characteristic of the French team is that usually they are half-hearted, but once they get serious, it is very difficult to deal with them. If you don't believe me, just take a look." Wang Ai turned around and pointed at the fans inside and outside the stadium, "They
We have treated this game as a big battle, which will definitely affect the level of participation of Monaco players in the game. As Monaco, which was second in Ligue 1 last season, will definitely try its best to defeat us and strive to advance from the group or even be first in the group.
.”
Speaking of this, Wang Ai said seriously: "According to the analysis of our club, there is a certain strength gap between Monaco, PSV and AEK Athens. They will definitely use this game to defeat us and win the first place in the group."
Possibility. They may even try to defeat us by a big score, thereby accumulating advantages for possible final goal difference rankings.”
"So, we're at the right place?" Liu Jianhong raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Ah, isn't that right? Shouldn't you be on my side? Shouldn't you feel sad about the unfavorable situation of our away game?"
Liu Jianhong nodded in sympathy: "Actually, it's good to see you get beaten. You have won too much, and we Chinese fans are tired of it."
