03-04 In the last game of the European Champions Cup, Deportivo La Coruna, the first in La Liga, swept AC Milan, the champion of last season's Champions League and the first in Serie A this season, 6:0 at home after falling behind 1:4 in the first game.In the end, with an aggregate score of 7:4, after eliminating last season's Champions League runner-up Juventus in the previous round, the Champions League champion was eliminated again and advanced to the semi-finals!
When the results of this match were first spread across Europe, almost all professional players, coaches, and commentators were at a loss, and according to their outlook for the game before the game, Deportivo La Coruna could not beat AC Milan in any case.Whether it is from the past records of the two sides or from their respective staffing, not to mention the experience of the Champions League, AC Milan is full of championships.And no matter how Deportivo makes waves in La Liga, it is also a supporting role.Including the reporters who watched the game at the scene, they couldn't tell how Milan lost or how Laco won after experiencing the game.Many football professionals who received the news from them were even more frantically searching for information about the game.The Deportivo had an overnight revelry, with Luke, the biggest contributor to the game, being interviewed by the local radio overnight after the game, and Ramon, the vice-president who made a "heroic oath" before the game, was also present at the radio studio.In an interview, Luke said excitedly: "At this moment, I really dare to think about the European champion!"
”The next day, the major media outlets in various European countries published this bombshell news, among which the headline of the Spanish newspaper Marca was: "The defending champion is eliminated in disgrace, and Super Laco is shocked to come".The report of the French newspaper "Team" is "Laco 6:0 Milan, knocking out the champion again after eliminating the runner-up", the article has no shortage of praise for Deportivo La Coruna, and looks forward to the ownership of the Champions League this season.The Italian media "Torino Sport" has made systematic statistics on the big reversal in the history of the Champions League: it is not uncommon in history to fall behind by three goals in the first leg and then overtake in the second leg, with a total of 16 times, and there are 2 times when the first leg is 1-4 behind or the opponent is eliminated by penalty kicks after tying the score; Came back from 0-4 down, 4 times; In addition, it was unimaginably difficult to complete a comeback after falling behind 0-5 or 1-5 in the first leg, and there were even 3 times each.So Laco's reversal is nothing remarkable......
And "Milan Sport" pointed the finger at Ancelotti, who admits to be a weak enemy.Even the major bookmakers in Europe have adjusted the odds for Laco to win the championship.As soon as the news came out, it shook the European football world!
That night, Roy Mackay, who transferred to Bayern last season, specially called back and congratulated his teammates one by one, and even called Wang Ai's mobile phone to congratulate him.And many stars who have played for Deportivo La Coruna have also appeared for interviews, such as Bebeto and others.Journalists from all over Europe quickly flooded Deportivo La Coruna's shabby club, and the interview invitation could not be filled for three days, so Deportivo La Coruna was forced to hold a press conference.Head coach Iruetta, captain Mauro Silva and Luke were all present at the press conference.Wang Ai also received an invitation, but politely declined on the grounds of going to school.The reason is strong!
The second-place scorer in the Champions League who "wants to go to school" is under the heavy protection of the University of A Coruña, and the reporters can only sigh.Fortunately, everyone knows that although Wang Ai scored two goals in this game, the biggest hero and the most important goal was actually the first four goals of Pandiani, Belleron, Luke and Forlan, and the latter two were the icing on the cake.It was the previous four goals that kicked Milan into the abyss, and Wang Ai's goal was more of a manifestation of the indomitable will of the Deportivo people.Under the help of the reporters' money, the pre-match feud between the two clubs was soon exposed: the brave man of the small fishing village was forced into a corner by the royal knights to fight back, and a heroic myth was achieved.This has been hyped up in hero-worshipping Europe, and even the Spanish royal family has said: In the next round of the Champions League, members of the royal family will come to Riazor to personally stand on the platform of this hero's small club!
Wang Ai avoided European reporters, but couldn't avoid domestic calls, in fact, just after the game ended, he unexpectedly received a congratulatory call from Xu Qinglian, in the phone, Wang Ai learned about the support of the National People's Congress for his game.If it weren't for him, the varsity team would have wanted to go to the lecture hall in the middle of the night to watch the game?
What do you think?
It's not the China World Cup!
At the end of the call, Xu Qinglian coldly noticed that the members of the school team not far away were looking at her, so she smiled and handed them the phone, and then Wang Ai heard a large group of elderly juniors incoherently congratulating.The game was like a shock bomb in European football, and the aftermath will not end.And in China, thousands of miles away, the shock is no small either.For AC Milan, which has a wide range of fans, it is absolutely beyond the imagination of most Chinese editors, reporters, coaches, players, and fans that it can be played like this by Deportivo La Coruna!
The name of "Super Laco" jumped up and was officially called in Chinese society.Even though many people are very sour when they see their beloved Milan losing so badly and so untempered, they have to admit that they must change their understanding of European football.Milan is strong, Italian football is strong, but this almost invincible strength is only the understanding of the Chinese.In Europe, in the five major leagues, there are all dragon-slaying braves.Fortunately, this Laco team also has one of our members in China, the youngest and most powerful Xiao Wang is there, sharing the honor and experiencing this game.As a result, Laco's sense of anticipation for this summer's trip to China has also increased dramatically in Chinese society, and the advertising invitations received by Beyond Sports, which hosted the event, have also flown like snowflakes.The benefits for Laco are not limited to this, a great victory, a rapid increase in the popularity of Deportivo La Coruna, but also an increase in the broadcast price of the game, the advertising price, and even the player's career prospects have become brighter.For example, Luke, who transferred to Laco two years ago, has always had injuries in the past two years, so the data is not good, and his value has shrunk by 40%.And after this game, Barcelona's current head coach Rijkaard openly expressed his appreciation for Luke in an interview with Daily Sport.Of course, Wang Ai, who scored two goals in a row and still has a super performance in Europe's highest competition, has also attracted the attention of European giants.Only by beating a big team head-on can you win the respect of the big clubs, whether it is for the club, for the team, for the coach and for the players.Just as Monaco boss Didier Deschamps caught the eye of Ahmad Abou, who was sitting on a mountain of gold, after a head-on win over an ambitious Chelsea side, and it was very likely that he would succeed Claudio Ranieri at Stamford Bridge next season.()
