As the 29th round of La Liga is approaching, the entire Galicia region, the whole of Spain, and the whole of Europe are attracted. This has been a fierce competition in La Liga that has not been seen for many years. Other competitions in the five major leagues are sluggish.
In contrast, La Liga's constant competition has made La Liga's commercial value rise steadily.
The two teams, Deportivo and Barcelona, who are at the center of the storm, are naturally caught by the media to express their opinions. The Barcelona generals, who are considered to be superior in terms of points and overall strength, are very cautious this time, far from what they said before the first half of the game.
With such pride and ambition, even Ronaldinho, the new World Footballer of the Year, praised Depor's tenacious spirit in his speech. Of course, he didn't mention a word about his football skills.
The last time he actively advertised for his younger brother Messi, but in the end it was Wang Ai who scored a hat-trick at Camp Nou. Not to mention that his younger brother didn't get a chance to play at all, and even he himself was inferior. In this regard, the younger brother
Ronaldinho was unconvinced no matter what, but he couldn't say it out loud. Apart from Ronaldinho, all the Barcelona generals were also more cautious in their speeches. Even head coach Frank Rijkaard also expressed his respect for Irueta.
On Depor's side, the attitude of the speeches was also similar. From Pablo and Mauro to Belleron, Forlan and Wang Ai, they all expressed their respect for Barcelona's lineup this season.
No matter how unhappy they are with each other, in the face of a major game that almost the whole of Europe is paying attention to, no one dares to speak freely. The clubs and head coaches of both sides have imposed certain restrictions on the players' speeches in interviews. Don't talk about freedom of speech, where is it?
Freedom is limited. If you talk nonsense before this kind of competition, you might be laughed at by the whole Europe.
China Central Television and Xinhua News Agency's European branch sent reporters to Deportivo, the city of glass, to prepare for concentrated coverage of this game. No matter how many fierce games were played in the five major leagues this weekend, this match between Barcelona and Deportivo
A battle between dragons and tigers is what attracts the most attention after all. Even if there is no Wang Ai in the team, it will be the same. With Wang Ai, all Chinese teams have an emotional tendency towards Deportivo, whether it is against Real Madrid or Barcelona.
With Wang Ai here, Laco is one of his own!
No one would dislike a simple, low-key, hard-working and persistent team. In the summer, Deportivo came to China and under the transcendent organization, they had many interactions with fans. In Jinan, Liaoning and Beijing, the local fans were deeply impressed.
The good impression is far from being comparable to that of AC Milan and Real Madrid who came to China in the past. Maybe it is a little worse in terms of star aura and publicity, but with the endorsement of Wang Ai, a young star loved by fans across the country, the effect is definitely different.
The closer to the match day, the less the clubs, coaches and players of both sides said. The closer to the match day, the sharper the contrast between the inside and outside of Riazor: the stadium was sealed off and airtight, and outside the stadium, fans came spontaneously with flags.
Sing the team song, entertain yourself, and cheer up the team.
Both sides regard this game as the most important game for the championship this season. Both sides regard the other as the number one stumbling block on the road to winning. Both sides have studied the other side clearly and accurately.
In Riazor and Camp Nou, the training of both sides and the performance of the fans are the same. Many TV stations even presented the two teams and two stadiums on the cut-out screen at the same time in the program, sparing no effort to incite this incident.
A tense and suffocating atmosphere.
On March 18, Barcelona arrived in La Coruna one day in advance to adapt to the venue.
On this day, it started to rain continuously in A Coruña, a city on the Atlantic Ocean.
The two sides did not meet before the game, and Deportivo kindly arranged for the Barcelona team to adapt to the venue. Every winter, the climate difference between Deportivo and Barcelona, two cities on the Atlantic and Mediterranean sides respectively, becomes larger.
One is cold and rainy, the other is warm and sunny.
The next day, the rain was still dripping, which greatly affected Barcelona's preparations for the game. Rijkaard stood in the room and looked out the window at the gray cloudy sky and at the teams of fans holding Depor flags on both sides of the street below.
He looked at Riazor, who was farther away, with a cautious mood and a stern expression.
At the same moment, the entire Deportivo team was playing in the rain on the training ground. Deportivo was obviously more adaptable to this winter rainy weather than Barcelona. The entire team wore long-sleeved jerseys and jogged back and forth on the slightly dim green turf.
Teams of two practiced ground coordination. Both Irueta and Lao Shen on the sidelines were wearing transparent raincoats, standing one behind the other to observe the situation on the court, while several assistant coaches stood outside the players.
, constantly blowing the whistle, making gestures, or simply speaking or encouraging.
Deportivo was also a little nervous. No one would completely relax before such an important game. At this time, the value of several veteran players in the team was reflected. The old captain Fran, the veteran midfielder Mauro and even the old Hao all practiced it.
, the relaxed play slowly led other team members to relax.
At noon, the whole team ended their training and returned to the club. After having a sumptuous lunch, they announced a half-day holiday. They could do whatever they wanted. They were all professional players, and each had their own way of relieving stress. For example, Wang Ai’s choice was to go home.
He took a nap, woke up and chewed on a philosophy book, forgetting both things and me. Anyway, people reminded him of the competition. Belleron's choice was to go to church and sit all afternoon. Tristan did not dare to drink at this time.
But he can drag Victor home with him to play video games.
As the game time drew closer, teams of fans from both sides began to appear on the streets of the small town. Although there was no conflict, the two sides were also wary of each other and had a cold attitude. Their teams regarded each other as their biggest rivals, and the fans of both sides could not
Warm interaction would be damned.
For the sake of television broadcast, the time of each round of La Liga games is staggered as much as possible. Therefore, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon on this day, four mid-table games were played in advance. The victory or defeat has neither the championship nor the relegation, and they are all very low-profile.
match. Then two more games were played at 18:00 and 20:00 in the evening, and the battle between Deportivo and Barcelona was arranged to the most golden game time of the Spaniards with rich nightlife: 9:30 in the evening.
At 18:00 that night, Wang Ai put down his philosophy book, as if he had just woken up from a big dream; Belleron stood up from the church bench, as if his soul was reborn; Tristan and Victor threw down the PS2 controller, feeling refreshed; Barber
Luo and Fran each stopped their housework and kissed their wives goodbye without looking back; Romero and Naibet got off the small fishing boat on the seaside, put away their fishing rods and catch, and walked side by side. Duscher and Andra
De, Molina, Sergio, Scaloni...
The Laco generals from all directions gathered towards Riazor.
