Chapter 1093 The Battle of Riazor (2)

PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friend "Pastor Zhudao" for his reward.

After seeing the referee signaling that the goal was valid, Tristan clenched his fists excitedly and ran to the sidelines with his teammates to celebrate the goal. The fans of Laco in the stands were also applauding and cheering for Tristan enthusiastically, not remembering that in the La Liga three days ago, they were wasting their chances of scoring for Tristan repeatedly, which led to the team's opening in the league and scolding him for being completely useless.

"The information on the intelligence is indeed correct. Tristan's physical fitness has indeed declined a lot compared to last season. Otherwise, he shouldn't have stood in the penalty area and competed with Stam when he was attacking the goal, but should have relied on his mobility to throw away the opponent and scored. "Looking at Tristan, who was celebrating the goal on the sidelines, Heinx curled his lips disdainfully, and did not feel impatient because of his temporary backwardness. "It seems that he has committed the same problem as Ronaldo. After becoming famous, he unconsciously relaxed his requirements for himself, which led to a certain decline in his physical and athletic ability. He can no longer easily throw away the defender and shoot as last season."

Since he scored 21 goals in the La Liga last season and beat well-known forwards such as Morientes and Cruyvert to win the La Liga Golden Boot, Tristan's mentality has changed dramatically. He regards himself as a top star and has become lazy. He stands more in the penalty area and waits for the ball in the game, rather than pulling the opponent's defense with running. While looking for opportunities, he also creates scoring opportunities for his teammates.

This change in mentality made Tristan no longer strictly restrain himself as before, and his attitude in daily training began to become lazy, and his physical fitness and competitive state also declined sharply. He never returned to the peak state before the Korean and Japanese World Cup.

It was precisely because of this that former Spanish national team coach Camacho resolutely gave up Tristan after two group matches and turned to Morientes, who had a stronger desire to score goals. Therefore, Tristan's first World Cup journey ended in such a situation. He wore the No. 10 jersey and only left an embarrassing record of not scoring twice in the World Cup but not a single goal.

Although Tristan still has the foundation to win the La Liga Golden Boot before, his football talent is obviously not enough to make him squander like Ronaldo. The reason why he was able to win the La Liga Golden Boot in a vote of strong opponents was, on the one hand, because he had a top organizer like Berellon behind him to deliver shells to him to create murderous intent, and on the other hand, because he had a good attitude in the competition and training at that time, and he maximized his potential.

Now, with Tristan's own unimprovement and increasingly lazy training attitude, in a Champions League game with extremely high intensity, his physical fitness will inevitably not be enough to support the entire game. According to Heinx's estimate, Tristan's current physical strength will be able to last longer halftime at most. If there is more, he will only be a spectator on the court.

As a qualified head coach, good pre-match intelligence is naturally indispensable. Therefore, Heinkes, who knows Tristan's current physical condition, did not change his defensive strategy because of Tristan's goal, but continued to ask the players to strictly guard against Belleron and prevent the midfield from easily receiving the ball and organizing the attack. At the same time, he also ordered Zambrota and Carlos to reduce the number of assists to prevent La Coruna from opening a breakthrough on the wing again.

As for Mauro Silva and Fran hiding in the backcourt, Heinx did not pay too much attention to them, but only instructed Pirlo, Dinatale and others to interfere when they saw them dribbling the ball across the center.

Heinx's adjustment soon achieved the due effect. Although Mauro Silva and Fran could temporarily take over the command from Belleron, they were not qualified organizers after all. They naturally did not do as well as the latter in terms of organizational scheduling and controlling rhythm. It was fine in a short period of time, but there would definitely be mistakes over time.

So, after the game started again, just as the Laco players were planning to use their same trick again, Romero and Victor were shocked to find that not only Zanbrotta, Carlos and others were waiting in front of them, but Dinatale and Pirlo were also helping to defend!

In this way, La Coruna's wing offensive naturally became difficult to play like before, and Fiorentina's defense was able to stabilize again. Since the home team's offense could no longer pose an effective threat to the goal defended by Buffon, Fiorentine players could devote more energy to the offense, and Purple Lily's counterattack became more and more fierce.

In the 38th minute of the game, Fran's ball passed to Victor was intercepted by Pirlo, who was predicted to be out of the ball. After the latter got the ball, he immediately sent a long pass over the top. Vieri, who was pushing and targeting him, squeezed out the pass and drove into the home team's penalty area. Facing Juanmi who was abandoning the goal, he scored with his left foot and tied the score one-to-one before the end of the first half! (Note: This season, Laco's original No. 1 goalkeeper Jose Molina had to say goodbye to the stadium for chemotherapy because he was diagnosed with cancer again, so the main position was replaced by substitute goalkeeper Juanmi.)

In the remaining minutes of the first half, Fiorentina had hope of overtaking the score. Unfortunately, although Diego Milito received a cross from Dinatale, his header just hit the crossbar and bounced out of the baseline, and unfortunately passed by the goal!

After the start of the second half, La Coruna, adjusted by Iruetta, strengthened her offense and tried to establish a lead again. However, Fiorentina did not give the home team this opportunity, and used sharp defensive counterattack to force Laco players to not dare to push the attack. The players on both sides fought back and forth on the court, and the game was so lively. However, although both teams contributed a lot of shots during this period, the players' luck was generally poor and they repeatedly missed goals.

In the 62nd minute, Iruetta, who found Tristan could only move at a turtle speed on the court, sighed, called Luke, who was sitting on the bench, replaced the former, and changed the formation from four-four to four-three.

After Tristan got out, La Coruna's formation became a single arrow-breathing forward, and Luke, Belleron and Victor were responsible for delivering shells to him in the rear. Iruetta's intention of this move was very obvious, that is, to control the rhythm of the game by increasing the number of midfielders, and create more scoring opportunities for Ma Ke, who is good at grabbing points.
