football superstar

"The fans call us Super Depor, because we brought them back victories and confidence, but I think without any honor, the title of Super Depor can only belong to the old Deportivo, not yours."

The room was quiet, and everyone was looking at Vazquez, with subtle excitement in their eyes.

Vazquez is not a coach who likes to encourage his team with passionate shouts and roars, but the veteran coach knows how to make his team more aggressive and more creative , he just described his wish in a calm tone: "Now, there is an opportunity in front of you. The King's Cup game is much easier to get than the league. Now we have one leg buried in the quarterfinals." The threshold, I hope you can get a championship trophy, the Copa del Rey trophy."

But there are many players who are embarrassed. They don't speak because they respect Vazquez, but in fact, for them, the Copa del Rey trophy is too difficult.

There are many strong teams in the West. They have stars and capital. They take it for granted when they win, and they lose because of accidental upset.The reason why the Premier League is good is that those teams are of similar strength, so they always answer indifferently and cannot see the result of the game, but in La Liga, there are a few teams that are completely dominant and firmly occupy the top spot. Annual Champions League places.

Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid.

Wanting to win the Copa del Rey against them seems like an impossible task at all, and many players showed skeptical expressions.

Vazquez is not surprised by this situation. If someone told him three months ago that he could lead Deportivo to face the top three, Vazquez himself would not believe it. Sikes was extremely confident: "Do you think you can't do it?"

Honest nod, Deportivo players have always had good qualities in terms of honesty.

Vazquez patted the Atletico Madrid team logo with his hand: "We scored three goals against them in the last round, do you remember?"

Nelson, who had a bright performance on the spot, blinked his eyes and raised his head. The Portuguese striker with a broad heart showed a complacent expression on his face.

"You also won Barcelona, ​​remember?"

Nelson continued to chatter, and the captain Rich sitting next to Nelson also showed a smile. Obviously, the feeling of scoring the winning goal in the game as a guest at the Nou Camp now makes Rich feel endless aftertaste.

"You got the fans at the Bernabéu to give you a standing ovation, remember?"

Nelson almost laughed out loud, and then he was slapped directly on the head by Rich beside him, knocking back his complacency.

Vazquez smiled and said: "We have met them, and we have won, and now we have entered the quarter-finals with one leg. You were still in the second division last season. If you can break through those La Liga goals this season The blockade of the team brought the championship trophy back to the Riazor Stadium, you will become heroes, all fans will remember you in their hearts, and the name of Super Depor will accompany you for life, don’t you want to try it?”

He was still in West Second Division last season, but this season he can crush all the strong teams to the top, which makes all the boys feel excited.

But in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you will know that a domestic cup champion is far less important than a league champion. Many wealthy teams will be dragged down because of the European war. If the cup is added, some teams will face this severe challenge. In the situation, double matches a week for several consecutive weeks or simply three matches a week, even the strongest teams will feel overwhelmed, so they will take the initiative to rotate in the cup to ensure that the league and European games can win.

But for the newly promoted Mara Coruña, they will not dislike the Copa del Rey tasteless, this is a championship that can be won, and this is also the championship that Vazquez hopes to win!

The suspense of the league championship is too great. Although Deportivo can catch up to the third and fourth, the two teams at the top of the list are as many as 3 points away from No.[-]. This is almost an impossible gap. Vazquez doesn't want to put his team's performance on the basis of the opponent's mistakes, which often won't get good results, so Vazquez will put all his energy on the King's Cup.

A championship, a championship trophy that Deportivo has not won for a long time, no matter what others think, but for the fans and the club, it is enough to make them crazy!

The future that Vazquez painted was too good for everyone to resist, and even Clemens felt something in his heart.

Everyone has a dream of being a hero, looking forward to being watched by everyone, hoping to be surrounded by everyone's cheers, and making oneself the most brilliant one in the club is the dream of almost all players.And as a grassroots club, it is even more exciting to be able to take home a championship trophy, which is an almost impossible task.

Vazquez saw what he wanted to see from the faces of his disciples, enthusiasm, excitement, and yearning for victory.

This is the reason why he skipped a tactical lesson today and turned to pre-match mobilization. He hopes that these players who have matured enough to understand each other can have a kind of temperament, a kind of self-confidence and arrogance as a strong team in La Liga.

The starting point is low, so many players automatically put themselves on the weak side, just like their favorite defensive counterattack, they will put defense in front, which means that Deportivo lacks a kind of spiritual temperament , This will make them deny themselves and feel that the rich are equal to invincible. Even if they have actually won those strong teams, Deportivo will still doubt whether they are really strong, or just accidentally lucky. up.

Now Vazquez told them clearly that you are very strong, you are very good, you can beat all the teams to win the first place in La Liga!

This made the players stare at Vazquez with bright eyes, and when Vazquez patted the Atletico Madrid team emblem and asked them "Can you advance!" !”, making Fernandez outside the door think that they were going to tear off the roof.

Clemens also faintly had expectations in his heart, and then, he felt the phone vibrate slightly.

Quietly took out the phone and clicked on it, and saw that Kaka had sent the picture that Clemens wanted, a picture of little Luka shaking the little Chris on the hammock, the two little guys looked very interesting .But Kaka didn't know why Clemens didn't reply to the message for a long time during the lunch break, so he sent a text message: 'Is something wrong? '

Clemens thought for a while, and quickly replied: 'Copa del Rey, will we meet again? '

It didn't take long to get a reply: 'I hope not, even if I do, I hope it will be the final of the King's Cup. '

Clemens smiled: 'I hope so. '

La Coruña is not a very famous city. They are a city in the north of Spain. They are always called a small fishing village. People here often don’t have that much money, and there are very few luxury shops. But their greatest joy and enthusiasm comes from the city's proudest team.

Royal de La Coruna.

As Deportivo's performance is getting better and better, more and more fans are willing to spend money to go to the bar to watch the game.

The fan culture in the bar is a bit different. Many of them can’t get home tickets. Every time at the beginning of the season, Deportivo will sell package tickets for this season’s games at the Riazor Stadium. Die-hard fans early For those who bought a package ticket, they went almost every game to cheer for the home team. Fans who don’t have a package ticket or don’t want to spend so much money have to keep an eye on the ticket window, waiting for the important game they want to watch. Time to buy tickets to watch.

And for some tight games, like the [-]/[-] knockout match of the Copa del Rey to be held tonight, the tickets were sold out within half an hour of release. Many fans lamented that they knew the team's performance had improved. I gritted my teeth early and spent money to buy a package ticket, which is better than standing outside the stadium holding the money and not being able to get in.

Most of these fans will not go back home to watch TV, but will take the money to go to the bar to watch the game broadcast.

There is only one football team in La Coruna, instead of two La Liga teams like other big cities, so there is no conflict between fans, and any bar is the home of La Coruna.And those bar owners who are close to Celta usually treat all the guests with the same attitude, whether they are from Deportivo or Celta, but once it comes to the match day, everything will be different. The boss will stand outside the small blackboard with written words before the game to prevent the rival fans from entering.

"All Depor fans are half price, Celta fans go away!"

Simple and crude but very clear, it is enough to show how far-reaching grievances there are between the two clubs who are sworn rivals in the same continent.

Today, in a bar not far from the Riazor Stadium in Deportivo, the atmosphere is as lively as the scene. They are singing the team song, holding hands shoulder to shoulder, holding beer or It's the other drinks that await the start of the game.And the TV broadcast an advertisement in the pre-match warm-up.

In the Puma ad endorsed by Clemens, Lakomen looks extremely handsome, which directly conceals the illogicality of the ad.

A male fan who was staring at the TV with his face in his hands smiled obsessively. He looked extremely fascinated. He was obviously a strong and fit man, but his expression at the moment was like a young man in love.And the girl who came with him was obviously not a fan, she poked her phone with gritted teeth, and asked why the friend on the other side of the phone introduced such a person to her?They actually set the first date at a fan bar!

"James, I've had enough, you've got to watch it, I'm going home!" The girl looked very depressed, and the noise and noise here made her head buzz.

"Sally, what's wrong with you?" The man named James has an Asian face, and when he speaks, he has a Chinese accent.He took the girl's hand in surprise, and looked at Sarah in surprise at the moment.

Sally frowned and stared at him, really not understanding why she fell in love with such a boring man.Obviously when he was in the company, he looked capable and calm, and his appearance was quite pleasing to the eye, otherwise I would not have agreed to meet him, but now this very stylish guy actually brought himself to the bar in a suit!Or to watch the game!

Are you kidding me!

Howard looked a little confused, but the bar owner who was sitting not far from the two of them looked at Howard helplessly while wiping the quilt.

It was the first time he saw a girl chasing after her like this.

Sarah, who had no interest in football, shook off him and was about to leave, but when she turned around, she inadvertently glanced at the TV screen.

The golden hair of the man on the screen is fluttering slightly, and the eyes in the close-up are as blue and clear as the sea water, and that face is almost the most beautiful among the male stars Sarah has ever seen, especially the curvature of the collarbone that almost makes Sarah Feel drunk.

She stood there subconsciously, and completely stopped her movements because of Clemens. After the commercial finished, Sarah looked down at Howard: "Hey, who is that?"

Howard already had a good impression of Sarah. He is a Chinese guy who is not good at chasing girls. Now he heard Sarah ask him and said hurriedly: "He is Thomas Clemens, the team I like Deportivo. Goalkeeper," Then Howard's voice paused, looking a little embarrassed, this expression is really rare for this tall man who is always strict in the company, "He is my male god."

It was a little surprising to Sarah that a man called another man a god, but the glimpse in the advertisement just now left Sarah with a lingering impression of Clemens.She hesitated for a moment and looked at Howard again: "Is the game you are going to watch later his?"

"Deportivo vs. Atletico Madrid, this is the knockout match of the Copa del Rey. I..." Howard shut his mouth wisely after seeing Sarah's inexplicable expression, and then nodded honestly, "Yes, I Watching Thomas play, he will definitely play."

Sara thought about it. Anyway, she had nothing to do at night, so it would be nice to see the handsome guy here.

Although the little girl who was left behind by such a simple reason was still a little unhappy, she did not refuse the juice drink Howard handed her.

Drinking juice at a bar is a little different: "I can drink."

Howard frowned slightly, his oriental face was serious: "It will be very late when it's over, you can't drink, it's not safe."

Silly boy, others are persuading people to drink in hopes of gaining some benefits, but you are the one who is so stupid, tsk tsk.

The bar owner who had been eavesdropping on the side shook his head, thinking that this Asian boy was too honest.

But Sara liked what Howard said very much. For the first time, she showed a sweet smile on her face. After taking a sip of the juice, she put the glass aside and started chatting with Howard: "Do you like that Thomas very much?"

Howard replied honestly: "Yes, I am his fan." Then Howard also specially contributed his mobile phone, "This is a picture I usually take when I go to the scene. I originally wanted to buy tickets to invite you to watch the game Yes, but this time the tickets are a little hard to get, so I'll take you to the bar."

Sarah looked at the picture taken by Howard on the mobile phone. It was a picture of Clemens standing in front of the goal line with his fists raised to celebrate the victory. His short blond hair seemed to shine under the spotlight, and Sarah was also the first Once I found out that men can be so handsome in jerseys.

"It's amazing." Howard approached with a smile. Sara, an orthodox Spanish girl, turned her head to look at the simple and cheerful smile on Howard's face, and suddenly felt that this Chinese boy might be easier to get along with than she imagined.

Perhaps, there is nothing wrong with watching football with him, as long as the players have good looks.

Sara stuffed the phone back to Howard, and drank the juice on her own, but she didn't seem to be impatient just now, but rather enjoyed it.

Howard cheerfully continued to stare at the screen with his face in his hands, hoping to wait for Clemens to appear on the scene again, completely unaware that the bar owner on the side stared at him speechlessly.

The silly boy is really lucky, he may not know that he just flirted with someone else's girl.

Is this a new way of chasing girlfriends?Introduce the male god I like to you so that you like it too, and we will be able to sususu together in the future.

A few minutes later, the player entrance ceremony began, and the fans in the bar also cheered along with the TV.

Sarah stared blankly at Howard, who was beside him, unbuttoned his suit and took off his shirt, revealing the jersey he had put on earlier.

Solid black with gold number 99 on the back.

Clemens jersey.

He also stood up and sang the team song together, jumping up and down, wanting Sarah to accompany him.

The Spanish girl stood up reluctantly, and sang aloud, but gradually the catchy music made Sarah very familiar, and the atmosphere was indeed contagious, and Sarah hugged Jumping and jumping together with Howard's arm, very happy.

The owner of the bar seemed very pleased, not just because the young man was favored by a beautiful woman, but more because his home team had another fan

What a good thing, isn't it?

Before the game, in the locker room of the home team, Manuel, who returned to the Rizoya Stadium after a month, went to see his teammates.

Manuel's injury has been treated very well now, but because he is too old, he no longer has the recovery ability of young people, and in addition, Costa's kick did not hold back at all. El's ankle was damaged from bone to muscle, which made Manuel have to accept that he might be reimbursed for the season.

Even though Manuel is recovering well now, he still cannot walk around like ordinary people. Instead, he can only do some recovery training under the guidance of a doctor, so as to ensure that the muscles of his body continue to be healthy and his ankles cannot be exerted. , Even walking is more strenuous than ordinary people.

But he still insisted on coming to the Riazor Stadium and the locker room of the home team, just to cheer for his teammates.

Clemens raised his head when he heard the door open, and saw Manuel walking in.The injured captain was still on crutches. Although the gauze seemed to have been removed, his injured leg was still unwilling to use force.Clemens directly stepped forward to support Manuel, and the Deportivo players in the room who were preparing to enter the field also surrounded them. After Manuel sat down, they all said one sentence after another. show off.

Yes, to show off, Manuel has always had a high prestige in the team, which made their first reaction when they saw the captain was to bring out the good results they had recently achieved to make the old captain happy with themselves, and let Manuel by the way El complimented them a few words.

Because he was about to play, Manuel didn't stay for too long. He said some words of encouragement to his teammates and gave his new teammate Griezmann a hug before leaving the locker room.

But before that, he specifically stopped Clemens: "Thomas, I look forward to your performance."

Anyone can guess that Atletico Madrid will inevitably adopt a strong offensive posture in order to win this game. Clemens will undoubtedly be the busiest person on the field, and his performance will directly affect the final score of Deportivo.

Clemens calmly gave you a hug from Manuel: "Captain, we will welcome you back with victory."

What Vazquez expects of them is the Copa del Rey trophy, and Clemens expects the same of himself. After realizing that a championship is not so far away, they will become looking forward to it.

Looking forward to victory, looking forward to the future, and looking forward to getting glory quickly!

Glory to La Coruña.

After Manuel left, Rich stood up, first nodded to the coaching staff on the side, and then shouted to his teammates: "Come on, come with me." Then he left quickly When he got to the door, he didn't open the door first, but turned his head to the Deportivo players behind him and said, "What do we want?"

"Victory!" Everyone cheered.

"What will those Madrid guys get?"

"Out!"

Rich was very satisfied with this answer. A group of people screamed and left the locker room and rushed into the player tunnel. This state directly scared the Atletico Madrid players who came to the away game.

It's just playing football, what's it called?scary...

But no one greeted the players of Atletico Madrid. All the way to the queue, there was zero communication between the players and the coaches on both sides, even without any eye contact.

The second round of the knockout round of the King's Cup quarter-finals is about to officially kick off.
