Reborn on Top of Football

The team went to Dragon Stadium to adapt to the venue on April 20. This course once made Lendoiro ambitious and wanted to build a new course like this in A Coruña. After all, the Riasso Stadium was built in 1944. It has been 60 years. Even after two repairs, the foundation is very old and it is difficult to expand again. Compared to the 50,000-seat seat at the Dragon Stadium, Riazor has only 34,000 seats, which means that for a game, the club needs to earn at least 300,000 euros less.

As for whether A Coruña with a population of 360,000 can fill a 50,000-seat stadium, no one is worried. Just as Tubingen has a population of 80,000, but the Lions Stadium has 30,000 seats, the city has a first-class team, which attracts not only the residents of the city, but also the fans in the surrounding towns. This is also the reason why some Derby battles are extremely fierce. Their fans have a large area of ​​overlap, and the contention is not mood, but real economic benefits.

Moreover, Porto has a small population, less than 300,000.

The teammates relaxed on the field for two hours and returned to the hotel. Wang Ai was resting in the room. The assistant coach suddenly notified Wang Ai to have a meeting. When Wang Ai was led to the conference room, he found that it was a coaching group meeting.

This is strange. Wang Ailaike has been for a year and has never participated in a coaching group meeting. Irueta takes the authority of the coach very seriously and easily prevents players from getting involved, because he is not a handsome coach and is afraid of too much. Close to the town can not help these players from all corners of the world.

"Wang, I remember you played against them last season?" Irueta asked openly.

Wang Ai nodded: "Indeed, we played two games in the UEFA Cup last season."

"So, how do you feel?" Irueta gestured with his hand. "We have never played with them, and now you need to provide some experience."

Wang Ai sat down and thought for a moment and said, "One year and ten days ago, at that time, it was Antas Stadium. I met Porto for the first time. The feeling they gave me was ... extreme utilitarian football."

Iruetta tilted her head: "Speak clearly."

"Let's put it this way, most teams also need to pursue something else while pursuing the game victory, such as Derby, such as performance, such as the style of the ball, even if not talking about it, but under the pressure of the fans, the head coach It will also be considered. For example, Real Madrid, their philosophy is not only to win, but also to win beautifully. "

Wang Ai spread his hand: "But this is not the case with Porto. They are very pure and need to win. They won't consider anything other than victory. That is to say, they can do whatever it takes to win at any cost, regardless of whether they are beautiful or not. Being punished, do n’t care how the outside commented, and did n’t care about anything, it was the final result. When we met them last season, they were not as strong as they are now, and the team I was attacking at that time was very strong, so they were in In both home and away games, they chose extreme defensive counterattacks. The scene was very ugly and they lost. "

Irueta subconsciously held the pen on the notebook and nodded for a long time to Wang Ai: "Well, you go back. Before the game starts, you can tell everyone a little bit and prepare everyone a little bit."

Wang Ai nodded and agreed. Wang Ai was very impressed with this Porto. Although the team didn't know much about it, they were very familiar with the head coach. The Magic Bird took off from the Dragon Stadium. I just don't know if he was blocked out of the UEFA Cup final last season under his own role, this season he is likely to be blocked out of the Champions League final, can he win the favor of Abu.

In the evening, practice in the gym as usual. After returning to the morning lesson the next morning, I did a little light physical training with the team in the afternoon. After having dinner in the evening and recovering for an hour, the team rushed to the stadium to prepare for the game.

The game was scheduled at 21:45 local time in the evening, and the Laco team arrived at the stadium at 8:30. After adjusting to the venue again, they returned to the locker room for final preparations.

The atmosphere in the dressing room was relaxed, as the outside world boasted: the Champions and runners-up of the previous UEFA Champions League were all planted at Laco's feet, and the remaining three possible opponents are much worse. Porto last won the Champions League in 1987 and has nothing to do with the current Porto. On the other side are Monaco and Chelsea, Monaco is the opponent of the group stage, 8: 3 lead was chased by our Rey and tied, Chelsea is the younger generation in the Premier League.

Although Laco is a younger one, after all, he has defeated the super strong, so he is very relaxed and hopes to win the championship.

Just after 21:00, after talking with UEFA officials, Irueta pushed the door into the locker room, and saw some teammates whispering to each other, some pulled out the game machine and lowered their heads to play games, and some leaned against the closet. He took a slap on the fake slap: "At the meeting in the afternoon, Ruo Jie has analyzed the technical and tactical situation of our opponents and explained the characteristics of the opponent's main team. I believe that everyone has made psychological preparations. Let ’s let Rey in Let me tell you something else. Last season he and their opponents in the UEFA Cup semi-finals in Germany were similar to our current situation, so listen carefully. "

Wang Ai, who had already prepared, stood up and came to everyone: "The opponent we face is likely to be a very troublesome opponent. I met them in Germany last season in the UEFA Cup and played two games. We won them 4: 2 away and returned to home 0: 0. It needs to be explained that in these two games they insisted on a very extreme defensive counterattack, because my team in Germany is famous for its strong attack power. That ’s why they insisted on extreme defense to curb our attacks, even if the scene was ugly. This year I ’m in the more powerful A Coruna. I do n’t know what they will do. But I think everyone must Be alert, our opponents may not be as good as we are, but their thirst for victory will not be weaker than us, especially if we know that our absolute strength is not as good. "

Seeing that his teammates have begun to think, Wang Ai turned to Andrade: "If it is hot, you are older than me and have more experience than me, but I must remind you that you are no longer a friend of Porto. Instead, you are now their promotion Obstacle, or even the most important obstacle, you are their enemy. And, because you are familiar with them, you are likely to be the number one enemy in the mind of the other party. "

After listening to Wang Ai's words, his teammates started to coax, and Andrade stroked his head in the crowd: "I am actually the number one enemy? Then am I the number one star in Raco? Ahaha."
