Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Sixth Old Enemy, Old Woman (Part 1)
Accustomed to facing many super stars in La Liga, a World Cup Asian qualifying group match is not a heavy burden for Wang Ai, but the heavy burden is the back and forth. Even if he slept well in the first class,
But it is not home after all. The plane will be bumpy, there will be other people, and there will even be noises from time to time. It is far less relaxing and thorough than sleeping at home.
After getting off the plane in Madrid, Wang Ai did not return to Deportivo La Coruña, but stayed in Madrid to rest, and met up with the visiting team for training the next day. The opponent in the 25th round of La Liga was Atletico Madrid, and Wang Ai
Ai needs to stay in Madrid for two days before returning to A Coruña.
Although the club was very satisfied with Wang Ai's timely return to the team, considering that it was not easy for him to travel back and forth and was on the plane 24 hours in three days, he was not included in the squad, even if Wang Ai
Indicates that he can play.
"You have to focus on the Champions League on Wednesday. Our opponent in the top 16 is an old enemy, Juventus." Irueta comforted Wang Ai.
Wang Ai nodded helplessly and no longer forced it. In this year's La Liga, Deportivo has been undefeated in 24 rounds, including 18 wins and 6 draws. The current points have reached 60 points, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are tied for second.
Rencia both have 51 points, a full three wins away. Barcelona only has 40 points, only 3 points ahead of fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao, and their qualification for the Champions League is in jeopardy. Judging from the situation, this season has not been played so far.
, Deportivo, Real Madrid, and Valencia are three strong players, which have gradually excluded Barcelona from the list of candidates for the championship. Of course, Barcelona's most ugly man Ronaldinho is on the eve of going crazy, and people don't know this yet.
Therefore, from the perspective of the La Liga title race, this game against Atletico Madrid is not too important. The real core events are the direct confrontations against Valencia in early March and Real Madrid in early May. The difference is 6 points.
Therefore, this weekend, Wang Ai had a rare moment of self-relaxation. During the game, he watched the game from the stands. The performance of his teammates was a bit sluggish. In the case of multi-line combat, just a week's rest was not enough for the players to completely recover, so
The game ended with a 0:0 draw.
Both parties can accept this result. Deportivo's focus has been on the King's Cup and Champions League. La Liga is undefeated and it will go down steadily without any big surprises. Atletico Madrid has maintained the dignity of their home court.
, being able to grab a point over "Invincible Depor" is enough to comfort the fans.
Of course, Torres was a little unwilling because Deportivo's King did not play and lost the opportunity to compete again.
After returning to Deportivo with the team, Wang Ai quickly integrated into the normal rhythm of life. Despite the praise in the domestic football world at this moment, it seemed that his excellent performance in the group stage was just an episode in life. He
He borrowed the Juventus game video from the club this season and watched it carefully. Although he is not the head coach, he still needs to be familiar with the opponent.
Everyone knows the name of Juventus. The "Bianconeri" has countless supporters in Italy, Europe, and the world, even in China. Before the new century, when CCTV mainly broadcast Serie A games, even Parma was
They have been popular in China for a while, not to mention Milan and Juventus.
And their lineup is also luxurious, more eye-catching than the last time Wang Ai met Lazio in Tübingen: the goalkeeper is Buffon, and the main defenders are Thuram, Lello Taglie, Montero, and Pesotto.
The midfielders are Gianluca Gianluca, Tacchinardi, Appiah and Nedved, and the forwards are Trezeguet and Del Piero. Their head coach is the famous Silver Fox Lippi.
In the history of the team, Juventus has won 27 Serie A championships. Serie A has only been 105 years in total, and Juventus has won a quarter. It has also won 9 Italian Cups and 4 Italian Super Cups.
.In the European battlefield, he has won 1 Cup Winners' Cup, 3 UEFA Cups, and 2 Champions Leagues.
As for Deportivo, so far, they have won 1 La Liga title, 2 Copa del Rey titles, and 3 Spanish Super Cups. As for the European battlefield, Cup Winners' Cup: 0; UEFA Cup: 0; Champions League: 0.
Just looking at this comparison of historical honors, Deportivo could pee blood. But in fact, when an old woman covered in jewels and a graceful appearance meets Deco, a fisherman with stubble on his face, his whole body and head hurt. Regardless of Deco’s team history
How weak, Depor just fights head-on. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, all of them have been harpooned.
The two sides have met four times in the Champions League since the new century, and they have met for four consecutive years. In the 2000-2001 season, the two sides were divided into a group, and finally tied with 0:0 and 1:1. 2001
-In the 2002 season, the two sides were again divided into a group. This time, Juventus retreated 0:0 in Riazor, and then returned to the Alpi Stadium to call Deportivo to play 2:0. In the 2002-2003 season, the two sides were once again divided into a group.
In the group, this time Juventus was tied with Depor at home. They went to the Riazor Stadium and gave Depor a 3:2, avenging last season's away draw and home loss.
But this season, UEFA finally showed some kindness and no longer divided the two sides into the same group. As a result, in the knockout stage of 16 to 8, the two sides saw each other again and joined together. And the most disadvantageous thing for Juventus was
Yes, Juventus is not in good shape this season. In the league, AC Milan and Roma are facing off, and Juventus is a bit unable to keep up. The problem of the age of the absolute main players in the team is more serious for Juventus than Depor. For example, Del Piero is already 30 years old.
Now, Nedved is 32 years old, and even Trezeguet is 27 years old. Even excluding Rey, the average age is more than one year older than Depor.
What's worse is that Juventus's state is stable at best, while Depor's state is crazy. Real Madrid, with three world footballers, insists that they be ranked second. Whether it is the King's Cup or the Champions League, whoever is caught will be destroyed. More
Needless to say, it was a crazy game with the most goals scored in a single game in the history of the Champions League.
Facing the rabid Laco, the well-informed old woman immediately fell into Parkinson's disease.
The day before the game, Juventus came to the small town of Deportivo in a low-key manner. Since Spain and Italy are not far apart, they adapted to the venue at the Riazor Stadium that afternoon and were fully prepared for the game.
preparation.
Since Juventus is in Turin, Italy, Wang Ai's old acquaintance "Turin Sports News" also specially sent reporters to attend the pre-match press conference between the two sides.
They played four times in four years, with a tie in the first year, one win and a draw by Deportivo in the second year, one win and a draw by Juventus in the third year, and the overall record was evenly matched. What will happen this year?
