Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two powerhouses in La Liga. Although a temporary downturn is inevitable, it is common to be in the championship team. However, no one would have expected that Barcelona led by Frank Rijkaard would be so strong this season, ranking in the top nine.
Unbeaten in every round, with only two draws. This summer, Barcelona spent heavily to buy players from teams that performed well in the Champions League last season, such as Porto's Deco and Monaco's Giuly. In addition, they also purchased players from Mallorca's La Liga team last season.
Eto'o, who scored 17 goals, and Deportivo's Luke!
All this laid the foundation for Barcelona's rise.
Relying on the lineup composed of this group of players, coupled with Ronaldinho, who has the highest reputation for World Footballer this year, they achieved astonishing results, and also beat Real Madrid, which has six superstars. Barcelona's results are even better.
Well, the greater the pressure on Real Madrid, the more shaky the "all-star lineup" composed of superstars will be.
So in La Liga, Depor is an accident.
However, last season's Triple Crown, as well as this summer's European Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup championships, have injected a strong color into the history of this small team and will have a long-term positive impact on the development of this team.
Effect. In other words, Depor has stepped into the threshold of the giants and truly threatens the La Liga structure dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Unfortunately, after all, the team did not have enough foundation, or the money in the wallet was not thick enough. After winning five championship trophies in one go in the spring and summer, Deportivo's performance in the new season was disappointing. Fortunately, in the sixth round
, Wang Ai came back, and the team immediately won four consecutive victories. It finally maintained the authority of the Triple Crown and showed a signs of recovery. This also made the outside world begin to rekindle hope for this team, including broadcasts.
TV stations and sponsors.
Therefore, although Depor's 15 points in the standings are far behind Barcelona's 23 points, the outside world is still optimistic about Depor's prospects this season.
Therefore, in the tenth round of the 2004-05 La Liga season, Barcelona's home match against Deportivo became the focus of the game. Not only was the Spanish national television broadcast live, but many TV stations in Europe also promoted this game as a key promotion, even from far away
CCTV in China also made this game a broadcast event of the day.
There was little history between the two teams in the early days of history. At that time, Depor was still fighting in low-level competitions. However, as Depor gained momentum, pressure from Barcelona also followed, such as the 1994 championship.
At the critical moment, it is said that Barcelona bribed their last-round opponent Valencia, and their stubborn fight against Deportivo caused the championship to fall apart. As a result, Depor also developed resentment towards Barcelona.
At present, in addition to the factors that one of the two sides is the La Liga champion last season and the team with the strongest momentum this season, there are also many tit-for-tat factors among the players of both teams, such as the "interference" between Deco and Andrade.
"Knife Gate" became famous because of Wang Ai's intervention and became a famous event in the history of European football - if Depor lost to Porto in the end, no one would mention it. It was precisely the efforts of Wang Ai and his teammates to defeat
He lost Porto, making Deco and Porto the laughingstock of European football: they had exhausted their plans, betrayed their friends, and ended up losing.
It is impossible to say that Deco has no resentment towards Andrade and Wang Ai. Although he rarely gave interviews after the incident, and especially avoided talking about the incident itself. But Andrade robbed him.
There are few advertising endorsements but they are real.
In addition to this pair of enemies, there is also a huge topic between Ronaldinho, who has a high probability of winning the World Footballer, and Wang Ai, who has a high probability of winning the European Golden Boy Award for three consecutive years. The two had a match in the game last season.
After a head-on confrontation, the 16-year-old Wang Ai managed to keep up with the 23-year-old Ronaldinho. If it weren't for the poor strength of Chinese football, and the fact that most of the time Wang Ai came on as a substitute, as well as some incompetent players.
The reason - the national team head coach vote and the International Players Association vote, most of them are European whites, which is very detrimental to the yellow Wang Ai, Wang Ai can even compete with Ronaldinho in the competition of World Footballer
.But even so, Chinese football has given Wang Ai a lot of help this summer. The Asian Cup champion and the Copa America champion in Brazil, where Ronaldinho is, are both intercontinental champions!
What wonderful performance they will have has also made the outside world curious. Needless to say, Ronaldinho led Barcelona to a sudden rise. After returning, Deportivo immediately went from five games without a win to four consecutive wins. Wang Ai's role is also amazing.
Although this is mainly due to the players going through the fatigue period at the beginning of the season.
In addition to the topic between Ronaldinho and Wang Ai, in the pre-match interview, Ronaldinho suddenly raised a third topic. He told the reporter of "World Sports News": "Wang Ai is excellent, but the best person is actually
He is Leo in our team! Although Wang started playing in the professional league very early, the person who starts first is not necessarily the fastest, nor is he necessarily the first to reach the finish line."
His words were interpreted by the outside world as the third highlight of this game: Leo Messi, who has been with Barcelona for five years and has always been on the fringes of the team, or is protected by the club, and Leo Messi, who has always been at the forefront of the professional league
The contest between the radiant Wang Ai. Even if Messi has not yet shown his dominance on the court and is still under the wing of Ronaldinho, Wang Ai is already the main rotation player of Deportivo. However, "Daily Sports", "
Mundo Deportivo, two Barcelona mouthpieces and two of the four most well-known sports media in Spain, vigorously promoted Messi, but Messi was pulled out and pushed into a head-to-head comparison with Wang Ai.
They were both born in 1987. Messi is half a year older than Wang Ai. They both started entering the La Liga first team at the age of 16. They are both representatives of the younger generation of the team. However, one is from Argentina, a football powerhouse and is known as
One is Maradona's successor, and the other is from China... I don't know who his successor is.
To Ronaldinho's unexpected words, Depor's stars also responded quickly. Belleron, who has a gentle personality, said: "Our Rey's achievements have surpassed that of many adult players, and his future is already very clear.
." Old captain Fran said: "The little guy from Barcelona may be great in the future, but right now, he is not qualified to compare with Rey."
Andrade was even more blunt: "Comparing anyone with Rey is an insult to Rey."
When "Marca" reporter Martin asked Wang Ai what he thought of Ronaldinho's words, Wang Ai took a deep breath and smiled: "See you on the field."
