"Two hundred years ago, the Brothers Grimm compiled a world-famous fairy tale, including the story of the greedy fisherman and the goldfish. Two hundred years later, a group of fishermen really won the club's double crown for the first time, and then
Greedily eyeing the crown of European football. Will they repeat the story of the past, or write a new chapter? A well-known fishing port in Europe, a world-famous gambling city, no matter what, their duel will bring about a
The new European champions."
When Wang Ai arrived in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, with Deportivo La Coruna on May 25, the German "Bild" greeted the Spanish guests with such a report. "Kicker" was published on the same day
The magazine focused on the prospect of this game with articles collected and written in advance. Even the cover of this issue of the magazine is a snapshot of Deportivo's celebration after knocking out Milan. The report systematically reviewed the battle between Deportivo La Coruna and Monaco.
Because they are all newcomers to the European war, distant historical memories are of little significance. The main analysis is the two games in the Champions League group stage this season. Among them, Monaco's 8:3 away lead was tied.
In the battle, Depor also had a solid 1:0 victory at home.
At the same time, a number of European sports media have also analyzed the prospects of the match between the two sides. Among them, "Torino Sport" has the most objective analysis and can also represent the current European football expectations for the match between the two sides.
The newspaper believes: In terms of absolute strength, Deportivo La Coruna, which won La Liga and the Copa del Rey this season, is obviously stronger than Monaco, which is third in Ligue 1. And judging from the two group matches, Silence and Stubbornness
Depor is also better than the talented Monaco. However, the disadvantage is that Depor's midfielder Silva and the two main central defenders Andrade and Naibert will miss the final due to red cards. The defense line
The instability brought the absolute strength of both sides back to the same level.
From the perspective of game experience, both sides are newcomers to the Champions League. They have also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time. Naturally, neither of them is familiar with the Champions League. In terms of players, they are also almost the same. Both teams have played in the Champions League.
There is also no one in the Champions League final, they are all pure novices. The only difference is the head coach. Deschamps has won a European championship in his playing career, while Irueta has no
Experience. So from an experience point of view, Monaco is slightly stronger.
From the perspective of morale, Depor's morale is stronger. Compared with the process of entering the knockout stage, first meeting Lokomotiv, then Real Madrid, and then Chelsea, Depor first met Juventus, then Milan, and finally Porto. Almost every step was the same.
It’s a tough battle every time. Needless to mention Lokomotiv, Chelsea’s Claudio Ranieri will be sacked soon. Although Real Madrid’s Galacticos are famous, they have never been successfully integrated. Although it cannot be said that Monaco has won
UEFA's ban, but the experiences of relatively wealthy Monaco and poor Deportivo are not unimaginable. From the lack of three absolute main players in Deportivo's finals, we can see how hard this journey has been.
But it is precisely because of this that Deco, who has gone through many tests, has stronger self-confidence.
Therefore, overall, the strength of the two sides seems to be very different, except that Depor's suddenly weak defense will become a bomb and will inevitably become the focus of Monaco's attack. Whether Depor can successfully protect its weaknesses will largely depend on
Decide the outcome of the game.
In addition to these comparisons, some media have reported on the game. For example, Pusao, who scored four goals in a single game in the Champions League this season, and Wang Ai, who scored five goals, belong to both sides respectively. They are on the scorer list.
, currently ranked first is Morientes with 9 goals, second is Wang Ai with 8 goals, third is Pulsho with 7 goals, and fourth is Pandiani with 6+1, which happens to be
They belong to two teams respectively. None of these four people have won the Champions League Golden Boot, and they may all reach the top in one game. Especially Wang Ai and Pulsa, compared with the achievements of Morientes and Pandiani,
The goals are relatively average. More than half of the goals scored by these two players were created in one game, and it was also the game between them in the group stage.
Real Madrid's discarded players from last season, Morientes who has started his second spring in Monaco this season, Dr. Wang who often performs superhumanly in major competitions, Pulsaud who occasionally goes crazy, and Pandiani who has a mouth as well as a foot, will let him
No one can tell what the outcome of this game will be.
From the overall offensive point of view, in addition to these four, both teams also have Giuly and Luque, who each scored 4 goals, and Cisse and Belleron, who each scored 2 goals. In addition, Depor's
Substitute forward Tristan and substitute left winger Forlan both scored 3 goals. Relatively speaking, the distribution of attack points was more even for Deportivo.
UEFA sent the Danish referee team of Nielsen + Jepsen / Larsson for this game. This combination has often officiated major games, and the level of officiating has made both sides agree. Interestingly, Denmark's Andersen Fairyland and Germany
The Brothers Grimm's Fairy Tales are two of the most famous fairy tales in Europe, both of which are about fishermen. After ten years of hard work, the people of A Coruña reached the finals of Europe's highest level competition, which is a dream enough experience in itself. But no one knows it.
How will this group of fishermen perform this last step?
On the personal side, the most talked-about person is of course Wang Ai, who is about to break the age record for the Champions League final. Even Morientes is not as good as him. He will almost certainly continue to be the golden boy of Europe. In terms of data, performance, and performance,
In terms of key role, he is constantly approaching the standard of World Footballer. Even if this possibility is said to be sensational.
Grassroots teams and players, in a gold-and-dollar game like the Champions League, are originally typical supporting roles, a sparring partner for the wealthy clubs to show off their abilities, the background of the game, and the object of ridicule by the public: stupidity, greed, and delusion! However,
When such a team once plays the dark horse role to the end, knocking down big-name clubs one after another, and then stands in the finals gasping for breath and carrying scars, it will almost certainly inspire a heroic plot in people's hearts.
The reason why the Danish fairy tale of the 1992 European Cup is unforgettable is due to the same factor. Denmark, which did not even enter the finals, replaced the banned Yugoslavia. They thought they were weak, but in the end, they overturned everything.
Opponents even include the German team, which is at its peak.
In addition to media and social comments, major gambling companies in Europe have also given their assessments. The average odds of Monaco are between 1.8 and 2.0 to 1, and the average odds of Deportivo are between 2.2 and 1 to 1.
2.5. But when it comes to the odds of winning the Champions League Golden Boot, Wang Ai leads the way, ranking first with 2.7 to 1.
This is a bit confusing. They gave completely opposite assessments on the competition for championship, runner-up and golden boot. It shows that these powerful and extremely professional bookmakers are also scratching their heads about the complexity of this game.
