Chapter 815: The Fisherman's Fairy Tale (Prologue)


"Two hundred years ago, the Brothers Grimm wrote the world-famous fairy tale, which included the story of the greedy fisherman and the goldfish.Two hundred years later, there is a group of fishermen who have won the club double for the first time, and then they are 'greedily' eyeing the crown of European football.Will they repeat the story of the past, or will they write a new chapter?

A well-known fishing port in Europe, a world-famous gambling city, their duel will bring a new European champion no matter what. ”When Wang Ai arrived in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on May 25 with A Coruña, the German newspaper Bild welcomed the Spanish guests with such a report.The Kicker, published on the same day, focused on the game with pre-written manuscripts, and even the cover of this issue was a celebratory shot of Laco's victory over Milan.The report systematically reviews the history of the confrontation between Deportivo La Coruna and Monaco, because they are both newcomers to the European competition, so the distant historical memory is of little significance, and the main analysis is the two games in the group stage of this season's Champions League.Among them are the shocking battle in which Monaco led 8-3 away and was tied by the game, and the solid work of Laco in a narrow 1-0 win at home.At the same time, a number of European sports media have also analyzed the prospects of the game between the two sides, among which the analysis of "Torino Sport" is the most objective, which can also represent the current European football expectations for the game between the two sides.The newspaper believes that in terms of absolute strength, Deportivo La Coruna, who won La Liga and the Copa del Rey this season, is obviously stronger than Monaco, which is third in Ligue 1, and judging from the two group stage games, the silent and stubborn Laco is also better than the talented Monaco.However, on the downside, Laco's midfielder Silva and the two main central defenders Andrade and Naibet will miss the final due to red cards, and the instability of the back line has brought the absolute strength of the two sides back to the same level.From the perspective of game experience, both sides are newcomers to the Champions League, and they are both reaching the semi-finals and finals of the Champions League for the first time, so they are naturally not familiar with the Champions League.In terms of players, there is little difference, and there is no one in the Champions League final between the two teams, and they are all pure whites.There is only a gap in terms of managers, with Didier Deschamps winning one European title in his playing career, while Irueta has no experience.So empirically, Monaco is slightly stronger.From the point of view of morale, Laco's morale is more vigorous, compared to the process of entering the knockout stage to meet Lokomotiv first, then Real Madrid, and then Chelsea, Laco first met Juventus, then Milan, and finally Porto, almost every step is a pit, and every time is a tough battle.Needless to say, the locomotive is the belly of the fish in the knockout round, Chelsea's Ranieri is about to leave class, and Real Madrid's Galaxy Battleship is famous, but it has never been successfully integrated.Although it cannot be said that Monaco has been escorted by UEFA, there is nothing inconceivable about the relatively wealthy Monaco and the poor Deportivo La Coruna.It can be seen from the lack of three absolute main players in the final of the Laco team that it has been a hard journey.But it is precisely because of this that Laco's self-confidence, which has been tested many times, is stronger.Therefore, on the whole, the difference in strength between the two sides is similar, except that Laco's suddenly weak backline will become a bomb and will inevitably become the focus of Monaco's attack.Whether or not Laco can successfully protect his weaknesses will largely determine the outcome of the match.In addition to these comparisons, some media reported on the lace of the game, such as Poulshaw, who scored four goals in a single game in the Champions League only this season, and Wang Ai, who scored five goals in the more ferocious world, which belonged to both sides.In the scorer list, the current first place is Morientes with 9 goals, the second is Wang Ai with 8 goals, the third is Pulsau with 7 goals, and the fourth is 6+1 Pandiani, which also happens to belong to the two teams respectively.And none of these four people have won the Champions League Golden Boot, and they may all overtake them in one game.Wang Ai and Pulchaux, in particular, have scored more than half of their goals in a single game compared to Morientes and Pandiani, and it was their group stage match.Last season's Real Madrid abandonment, Morientes, who started their second spring in Monaco this season, Dr.

Wang, who often performed superhumanly in major games, Poulshaw, who occasionally went crazy, and Pandiani, who had an equally developed mouth and feet, will make this game outcome, no one can say.In terms of attacking power as a whole, in addition to these four, there are also Gyuli and Luke, who have scored 4 goals each, Cisse and Belleron, who have scored 2 goals each, in addition, substitute striker Tristan and substitute left winger Forlan in the Laco team have both scored 3 goals.Comparatively speaking, the distribution of attack points is more even.UEFA sent a Danish referee team of Nelson + Jepson Larsson for this game, and this combination has also repeatedly officiated major matches, and the level of enforcement has also made both sides have no opinion.Interestingly, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales from Denmark and Grimm's fairy tales from Germany are two of the most famous fairy tales in Europe, both of which contain the story of a fisherman.The 10-year struggle of the A Coruña to reach the final of the highest level of competition in Europe was a dreamy experience in itself.It's just that no one knows how this group of fishermen will perform this last step.On the personal side, the most talked about is of course Wang Ai, who is about to break the age record for the Champions League final, and even Morientes is not as good as him.He is almost certain to be the European Golden Boy, and he is constantly approaching the standard of the world footballer of the year in terms of statistics, performance, and key role.Even if this possibility is sensational.Grassroots teams, grassroots players, in the Champions League, a golden yuan game, is a typical supporting role, a sparring partner for giants to show their ability, a background board for the game, and an object of ridicule for the public: stupid, greedy, delusional!

However, when such a team plays the role of a dark horse to the end, takes down one big name club after another, gasps for breath and stands on the final court with scars, it will almost inevitably inspire a heroic plot in people's hearts.The Danish fairy tale of Euro 1992 was made memorable by the same factor.Denmark, which didn't even make it to the finals, replaced the banned Yugoslavia, thinking they were fish belly, and as a result, they overthrew all their opponents, even the German team, which was in full swing.In addition to the media and social commentary, major European bookmakers have also given their assessments, with Monaco averaging odds between 1.8-2.0 to 1 and Deportivo 2.2-2.5 to 1.But in the odds of the Champions League Golden Boot, Wang Ai took the lead, ranking first with 1 to 2.7.This is a bit incomprehensible, and in the competition for the champion and runner-up and the Golden Boot, the evaluation is completely opposite.It shows that these powerful and extremely professional bookmakers are also scratching their heads at the complexity of this game.()
