For the first round of the Copa del Rey two days later, there was a bit of controversy at the Laco club.One faction believes that there is still a big gap between the league points and Barcelona, and the Champions Cup is not going well, so it is better to protect a less competitive Copa del Rey.The other faction is more pessimistic, believing that the top four in the league may not be retained, not to mention the league championship, and in order to qualify for the Champions League next season, they should give up the Copa del Rey and prepare for the league wholeheartedly.Owner Rondo Iro did not express his opinion, he is a little ashamed of the club in this "stingy summer", so as long as there is no major incident, he basically no longer intervenes in the club's affairs.In the end, it was the vice-president Ramon who came forward to discuss with Iruetta, and also summoned the old captain Fran, the current captain Pablo, Mauro who often wears the captain's armband, and others to discuss.The final result was a combination of opinions from both sides, focusing on the league, but there was still a little bit of nostalgia for the Copa del Rey, so it was decided to send a substitute lineup of old and young, with the focus on Wang Ai and Duschel.Duscher can play in the back and can play as a central defender, and was originally the absolute main force of Laco's main team, but he has been injured in the past two seasons, so his form has been affected.Wang Ai is because of his good physical fitness, rarely injured, although it is difficult to support 90 minutes in a single game, but he can train normally the next morning after the game, after all, he is young and recovers quickly.So the Deportivo La Coruna team that went to the Copa del Rey was led by the two of them, and of course the captain was Duscher.In addition to these two players with the strength of the main team, players such as Héctor, Cesar, Hoan, and Robert, who have been playing as substitutes in Laco for several seasons, have also been scheduled to play in the Copa del Rey, and of course, Hao Haidong and Li Weifeng, who have always made the club suspicious.Irueta has nothing to say to Hao Haidong, at such an age, it is impossible for you to let him rise again, the existing technology, body, and state can be used, and the substitute is okay.But he has certain expectations for Li Weifeng, after all, he is old and in good health, but the current defense line of the first team has not changed much, and it is difficult for Li Weifeng to have a chance to play.So, when the whole team returned to Galicia the day after the victory over leaders Barcelona, the club made the announcement, and also confirmed that Laco will deal with the league, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey strategy with two sets of squads this season, which is equivalent to re-establishing a first team, a second team, or a rotating lineup in the first team.It's just that Laco's lineup is relatively thin and can't be fully rotated.But even so, when the club announced its strategy to keep the league, the players were very happy.The main players don't have to worry about the league being a mess, and the substitutes are happy because they can get a consistent chance to play.Irueta specifically found Wang Ai and advised: "You still have to ensure the state of the league, the Copa del Rey can be watched and played, it is better to win, and it is nothing if you can't win, the club means the Copa del Rey, where to play, there is no requirement, especially for you, there is no requirement." ”Wang Ai naturally understands that this is in fact giving up the Copa del Rey, but it would be better if Laco's benches could go further.After the announcement of this, the club went straight to a day off, and the main players simply did not go to Elche, and took a few days of complete rest before going to recovery training, after all, they lost a lot this summer.The players who were scheduled to participate in the battle stayed, seizing the time to recover, train, and develop tactics.Although he wants to give up the Copa del Rey, Irueta can't really leave it alone after all, and he is still very serious about studying the situation of Elche with the players and formulating corresponding tactics.Since there is no requirement for the goal of the game, the preparation situation is relatively relaxed, and everyone talks and laughs, which is a rare situation in the Laco team in recent years.The boss is too picky, the coach is too stubborn, Laco has always been in a state of hard work in the team, the relationship between the players and the boss and the head coach has not been very good, there are few players who like Irueta, but he has always led the team to good results, so the players "can't say what they are suffering from".But in fact, Irueta didn't do it*** Duo Yi Luo always wants to make small money do big things, so he must rule the army with iron and blood.Moreover, the relationship between him and Rondoiro is not very good.In short, everyone in A Coruña has something to dislike, but there is also something to be reluctant to.As long as the grades are good, everyone can share the benefits, and they can be peaceful, but if the grades are always bad, it is easy to be fragmented.The sports media in Spain is crazy, and sometimes a small thing can be hyped up by them.For example, a few complaints from a player can be described as a general who is out of harmony and bombards the coaching staff.Wang Ai has been in Laco for more than a year, and it can be seen through his observation that the club belongs to the villain, who is always trembling, and will blow up at the slightest hint of trouble.But the club's management is still very strict, and there are not many bad problems with this group of players, and most of them are managed as "good boys" by the club.The club's rare leniency towards the next game, a large number of substitutes who have been given the opportunity to play cherished this opportunity, so everyone showed a lot of enthusiasm in the next two days of preparation.Li Weifeng also joked with Wang Ai, asking him to work harder, how to reach the quarterfinals, play a few more games or something.Wang Ai naturally agreed with a smile.In fact, he is still quite confident in this batch of substitute players, and he can be selected for the first team of Laco, how bad can he be?
Most of them are not physically and technically poor, but poor form and fighting spirit, but as long as they are adjusted, they still have the strength to fight in the Copa del Rey.On the evening of November 9th, Duscher, Wang Ai and other players composed of the "Copa del Rey Laco" boarded the plane to the Valencia region at the airport, and landed in Elche a few hours later.So, Elche sent a full main lineup, intending to pick up the hair on Laco.Rakozhong knew this, and at 8 a.m. the next morning, before the start of the game, Iruetta, who had arrived with the team, made his final speech in the dressing room: "Boys, Elche has made you a point earner.Although we have to focus on our games this season, it doesn't mean that we are being bullied.You are indeed a substitute, but you are also a substitute for the Treble!
Go for it, lads!
To uphold the dignity of our European champions!
