Reborn on Top of Football

v3 Chapter 234: Fisherman's Fairy (Prologue)

"Two hundred years ago, the Brothers Grimm wrote a world-famous fairy tale, among which are the stories of greedy fishermen and goldfish. Two hundred years later, after a group of fishermen first won the club's double crown, they were 'greedy 'Stare at the crown of European football. Will they repeat the past or write a new chapter? A well-known fishing port in Europe, a world-renowned gambling city, no matter what their duel will bring a new European champion. "

When Wang Ai followed A Coruña in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on May 25th, the German "Picture" used such a report to greet Spanish guests. The "Kicker" magazine published on the same day used the manuscripts prepared in advance to focus on the game, and even the cover of this issue was a celebration shot after Laco eliminated Milan. The report systematically reviewed the history of the fighting between La Coruna and Monaco. Since they are newcomers to the European War, distant historical memory is of little significance. The main analysis is the two matches in the Champions League group stage this season. Among them are Monaco's 8: 3 away game which is tied to lead the world, and Laco's solid 1-0 home victory.

At the same time, a number of European sports media have also analyzed the prospects of the two sides. Among them, the "Turin Sports News" analyzes the most objective, and it can also represent the current expectations of the European football team.

The newspaper believes that: in terms of absolute strength, La Coruña, who has won the La Liga title and the King's Cup this season, is obviously stronger than Monaco, who is third in the Ligue 1, and from the two group matches, it is silent and stubborn Laco is also better than the talented Monaco. On the downside, the backcourt Silva of the Laco team, Andrade and Naybert of the two main centre backs will miss the finals because of the red card. The instability of the back line has pulled the absolute strength of the two sides back. On the same level.

Judging from the game experience, both sides are newcomers to the Champions League, they are also the first time to reach the Champions League semi-finals and the finals, and they are naturally not familiar with the Champions League. In terms of players, they are almost the same. None of the two teams have played in the UEFA Champions League finals. They are pure whites. Only the head coach has a gap. Deschamps, the young coach, has won a European championship in his player career, but Irueta has no experience. Therefore, from experience, Monaco is slightly stronger.

In terms of morale, Laco's morale is more vigorous. Compared to the process of meeting the locomotive, then Real Madrid and then Chelsea in the knockout stage, Laco first touched Juventus, then Milan, and finally Porto, almost step by step Pit, every time is a tough battle. And the locomotive need not mention, the fish in the knockout round, Chelsea's Ranieri is about to end class, although Real Madrid's Galaxy battleships are famous, but they have not been successfully integrated. Although it cannot be said that Monaco has been escorted by UEFA, it is not unimaginable for the relatively rich Monaco to experience the poor La Coruna. It can be seen from the lack of three absolute main players in the Lako team finals that it has been hard work. But it is for this reason that after a long trial, Laco has stronger self-confidence.

Therefore, as a whole, the strength of the two sides seems to be different, except that Larco's sudden weak defense will become a bomb and will inevitably become the focus of Monaco's attack. Whether Laco can successfully protect his weaknesses will largely determine the outcome of the game.

In addition to these comparisons, some media have reported game lace, such as Pursau, the only individual in the Champions League this season to score four goals, such as the more fierce Wang Ai, who scored five goals, belongs to both sides. In the scorer's list, the first is Morantes who scored 9 goals, the second is Wang Ai with 8 goals, the third is Pursau with 7 goals, the fourth is 6 + 1 Pandia Nepal, just happens to belong to the two teams respectively. None of the four have received the UEFA Champions League gold boots, and they may all reach the summit in a single game. Especially Wang Ai and Pursau, compared to Morantes and Pandiani's goals are relatively average, more than half of these two goals were created in a game, and it is also their two in the group Match in the match.

Real Madrid abandoned last season, this season started the second spring of Morientes in Monaco. Dr. Wang, who often performs superman in major competitions, occasionally crazy Pursau, and the same well-developed mouth and feet of Pandiano, will No one can tell what the outcome of this game will be.

In terms of overall attack power, in addition to these four players, there are Guri and Luke, who scored 4 goals each, and Cissé and Belleron, who scored 2 goals each. In addition, the team of Laco Substitute forward Tristan and substitute Fran have scored three goals. Relatively speaking, the distribution of attack points, Laco is more uniform.

UEFA has sent the Danish referees of Nelson + Jepson / Larson for this game. This combination is also a major law enforcement competition, and the level of law enforcement has made both sides have no opinion. Interestingly, the Danish Andersen fairy tale and the German Grimm fairy tale are the two most well-known fairy tales in Europe, both of which have fisherman stories. The La Coruna has struggled for ten years to reach the final of the highest level of European competition, which is also a dreamy experience in itself. But no one knows how this group of fishermen will perform this last step.

Personally, the topic is of course Wang Ai, who is about to break the UEFA Champions League final appearance record, even Morientes is not as good. He will almost certainly win the European Golden Boy. He is constantly approaching the standards of the world's footballer in terms of statistics, performance, and key functions. Even the possibility is sensational.

Grass-roots teams, grass-roots players, in the Champions League game of the Golden Yuan, was a typical supporting role, is the sparring of the giants to show their abilities, is the background board of the game, is the object of public ridicule: stupid, greedy, delusional! However, when such a team plays the role of the dark horse to the end, after putting down the big-name clubs, panting and standing on the final court with scars, it will almost certainly inspire the heroic plot in people's hearts.

The Danish fairy tales of the 1992 European Cup are memorable for the same reasons. Denmark, who didn't even go into the finals, replaced Yugoslavia, who was suspended, thinking they were a fishbladder. As a result, they overcame all opponents, even the German team.

In addition to media and social commentary, major bookmakers in Europe have also given their assessments. The average odds of Monaco are between 1.8 and 2.0, and the average of La Coruna is 2.2-for-1. Between 2.5. However, in the odds of the Champions League golden boots, Wang Ai took the lead and ranked first with a loss of 2.7.

This is a bit unintelligible. In the competition of the championship and runner-up and the golden boots, the opposite evaluation is given. It appears that these powerful and extremely professional bookmakers are also scratching their heads about the complexity of the game.
