The poor and generous boss, the iron-blooded head coach, and the simple teammates, the long season finally saw that the harvest was close at hand.Deportivo La Coruna is fully mobilized, and in its 98 years, the Copa del Rey has only won twice, and it was in 1995 and 2002 during the Super Laco period.The weak credit book has a large blank space, waiting for one outstanding player after another and coach and even the owner to write it by himself.In order to prepare for this game, Deportivo La Coruna rotated his players early, and even Wang Ai, a killer rotation player, was arranged with physical reserves, and the opponent Zaragoza was studied clearly up and down.Before the game, both the owner Rendo Iro and the head coach Irueta issued a "nirvana order"!
The club, which already owes 160 million euros, gritted its teeth and sold its blood to scrape together 2 million euros as a bonus.I really don't have any money, and I don't dare to take too much, and then there is the league championship in sight, and the Champions League.Although the money could not be taken out, the owner decided to rush to Barcelona to cheer for the team in person in order to show his attention and support.In Deportivo La Coruna, this was not a good sign before, and on several occasions Rondoiro went to watch the game on a whim, only to lose every time Laco was defeated.So the Laco fan organization strongly resisted Rondoiro and their appearance in the stands at the same time, forcing Super Laco's number one hero, in order to watch his team play, often have to wear makeup, and have to be sneaky.And the last time the Champions League group stage was in Monaco, the reason why Rondoiro danced excitedly in front of the Monaco royal family when Wang Ai scored the last free kick equalizer was because he could watch the game openly in the future.The scrappy squad travelled south to Barcelona on the morning after their match against Mallorca to concentrate on preparing for the final three days later.Since Barcelona had "yin" Laco before, the relationship between the two teams was relatively average.In this way, relations with the Spaniards, who are also "royal", are relatively good.Especially in a region that often advocates Catalonia's independence, a football team named after "Spaniards" is actually quite excluded.Zaragoza, the opponent in the Copa del Rey final, is a very characteristic team, with an average age of young players, probably more than five years younger than Laco.Zaragoza is a member of the "crowd" in La Liga, where the two giants coexist, like Laco, or "other teams" other than Real Madrid and Barcelona.Zaragoza is richer than Laco and has twice as many people as Laco, so there is still potential for development.However, Zaragoza is an industrial city, and after Spain entered the developed world, it was inevitable that there would be a loss of industry, which also weakened the development potential of Zaragoza.Judging by the results of both teams, there is no doubt that Laco has taken the lead in recent years.The first round of the season was between the two sides, and the result was a narrow 1-0 win over Laco, who had not yet played at the time.Waiting for the second half to play again, Laco sat at home and repelled the opponent 4:1.But if you look at the historical results, Zaragoza clearly rose to prominence earlier than Laco, winning the Copa del Rey twice in the 60s, the Cup Winners' Cup and the Copa del Rey once in the 90s, and a total of five Copa del Rey winners.At least in the Copa del Rey, it has an advantage over Laco.The most recent victory was in 2001, and coincidentally the following year it was Laco who won the Copa del Rey.Therefore, both sides have reasons to win this final and have the confidence to win.Although Laco is stronger than Zaragoza in terms of absolute strength, Zaragoza's young players in their squad, in addition to their Copa del Rey experience, see the Copa del Rey final as an occasion to show themselves.This is a rare opportunity for small teams in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga to show their skills in all of Spain.What if you get a crush?
Even if it's not Real Madrid and Barcelona, Sevilla, Valencia or Deportivo La Coruna can do it.Therefore, it is destined to be a game that will not be lonely.In addition to the enthusiasm of the young people in Zaragoza, Laco is not without young people, and even younger, such as Wang Ai, whose height has reached the average height of Spanish adults, was inevitably caught by reporters and asked to say a few words, and then it was quickly amplified and became "Rey's declaration of war on Zaragoza!"
”In fact, Wang Aizhen didn't say anything excessive, he just congratulated the young people of Zaragoza, who won the Copa del Rey runner-up at the beginning of their careers, which is a very good start.But in their hearts, Wang Ai or Laco didn't dare to underestimate this youth army, because they eliminated Barcelona in the semi-finals.A 1-0 win at Camp Nou against Barcelona and a return to the Rome Radar Stadium where the two sides drew again.It is not enough to describe this team, it is more figurative to say that it is exciting to meet a giant, and beat a giant, so as to find a good owner for yourself, which is basically the collective pursuit of Zaragoza: the players have a good place to go, and the team is easy to make a fortune.For example, the current number one star in the team, David Villa.The 23-year-old striker, who has just been transferred from La Liga's Sporting Gijón for €1.5 million this season, has played all competitions for Zaragoza so far, scoring 13 goals and averaging 0.5 goals per game.It's not just him who wants to do well with Laco, their club thinks that way.The "other teams" in La Liga are essentially accustomed to poaching young players from lower leagues or abroad, training them with their own high-level qualifications, and then ......
Sell it!
Sell for a good price!
The two giants have eliminated the training cost of the low success rate of stars, and use the stocking model to buy whoever becomes a talent.Therefore, although the youth training of Real Madrid and Barcelona is famous, in fact, "other teams" are their youth training bases.The climate in Barcelona in early spring is much worse than that of A Coruña, one is on the Atlantic coast and the other is on the Mediterranean coast, so Laco has to come early to try to get used to the venue.Although the temperatures in the two cities are about the same, Barcelona has an average of six days of rain in March, while in Laco it is half a month.It's either raining or preparing for it, and that's winter in Laco.Therefore, when they first came to sunny Barcelona, everyone felt that they were moldy and had the urge to go out in the sun.After chartering a training ground with green trees near the hotel, the whole team conducted a closed training camp.And the Zaragoza team, which came to Barcelona in a low-key manner, is also in full swing to prepare.At 8 p.m. on March 17, at the Espanyol home stadium, the 03-04 Copa del Rey final officially kicked off.()
