Riazor Stadium is the home stadium of Deportivo La Coruña. Since its completion in 1994, it has been renovated twice in 1982 and 1998. Now the stadium can accommodate 34,611 spectators. It has all-natural turf and a geothermal system, making the facilities of this stadium very luxurious.
Especially after Yuntian Company took over, the stadium was even more luxuriously decorated inside. The inside and outside of the stadium are full of Chinese elements, which also makes Riazor a very unique stadium.
Despite its beauty and luxury, this historic course has not forgotten its past.
This place has witnessed the super era of Deportivo, and countless big-name stars gathered here, making this stadium also underestimated in La Liga.
Depor's scoring record holder is Bebeto, and 86 league goals are the wealth left by the Brazilian star here.
The appearance record holder is Forlan, with 545 league appearances. He is a loyal member of Depor.
The oldest player is Donato. At the age of 40 years and 131 days, he dedicated his youth to this team.
The league's top scorer record is still Bebeto, with 29 goals in the 1993-94 season, which shocked La Liga.
Ten years later, Super Depor's super striker Ma Kai also scored 29 goals in the 2002-03 season, and the Dutch striker started a legendary road in Riazor.
The player with the most goals in a single game is still Bebeto. On October 1, 1995, he scored five goals against Albacete and made history.
Between 2001 and 2005, Depor participated in the Champions League five times in a row, entering the top 4 once, the top 8 twice, and the top 16 once. Such results are also very impressive in the five major leagues.
When Depor was relegated, the sad tears of countless fans were also recorded on the turf here. It was an unforgettable history that reminded Depor players all the time, inspiring them to try their best and not to fall again...
The Riazor Stadium has witnessed the rise and fall of Deportivo La Coruña. For many fans, this stadium is like their friends and elders. On match day weekends, countless local fans flock in to support their beloved team. Come on and cheer.
Today, the Riazor Stadium was overcrowded early.
For those who don’t know, you might think that the Champions League final will be held here.
La Liga usually starts between 17:00 and 22:00. Today's first game of La Liga will start at 20:00.
At 19:00 on the evening of August 20, the Riazor Stadium was already packed with fans. An hour later, they will usher in the first game of their favorite team's return to La Liga.
Not only that, today's game has another important significance - the Riazor Stadium has a new owner!
When Depor's bus arrived at the stadium gate, countless Depor fans cheered, and when General Depor stepped out of the bus, the cheers of the fans reached its peak!
Classical master Riquelme!
England's talented striker Owen!
Berbatov has an elegant and unrestrained playing style!
Gattuso, the most ferocious defensive midfielder in history!
The former world's number one central defender and right back, Nesta and Maicon!
And the most popular player selected by the fans association last season-Wu Lei!
When the players walked past the fence, they stopped deliberately to satisfy the fans' wishes for autographs and photos as much as possible.
And among everyone, the most popular person is Yun Sheng!
He has coached the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A and won countless league titles. He created the miracle of Monaco’s five crowns two years ago. He created the legend of Juventus’ four crowns last season. He led the Italian team to win the European Cup this summer...
And all these honors were created by a 33-year-old young coach who had just started his career five years ago!
He is the legend of this era!
Especially when Yunsheng said at the press conference that his goal in the new season is to win the double championship, he became the city's national idol!
Coupled with the large amount of capital investment from Yuntian Company, not only the team, but also the local economy also received a lot of help and investment, which made Yunsheng's reputation unparalleled for a while!
The local "Laco News" in Laco City directly called Yunsheng the "Godfather of Deportivo"!
The title he once received in Monaco is what Yunsheng received again here!
But Yun Sheng knew very well that now he was not worthy of this title at all. He has not brought any championships worth showing off to this team. Only when he leads the team to the top of Europe will he be worthy of accepting all praises with peace of mind.
Walking towards the stadium gate, Yun Sheng was kind and polite. He deliberately left the house ten minutes early today just to satisfy as many fans' wishes for autographs and photos as possible outside the stadium.
Looking at the expectant eyes of countless fans, Yun Sheng smiled and was full of confidence.
I hope that when the whistle blows at the end of the game, I can give them a wonderful night!
General Depor entered the court, cleaned up briefly in the familiar locker room, and then ran to the court.
Yun Sheng walked out first. When he walked out of the tunnel, the audience burst into thunderous applause!
This is a round of applause for the five-time, four-time and European Cup winners!
This is a cheer for Deportivo's new coach!
Yun Sheng waved to the fans with a smile on his face.
Beside him, several new players were also waving to the fans.
Riquelme, Owen, Berbatov...
Depor has a lot of new players this season, and many big-name players have gathered in Riazor. Depor fans are extremely excited.
The players ran to the court to warm up, and the opponent players on the court were already in place early.
Today, Depor's opponent is Malaga, and they are very strong.
Last season Malaga ranked fifth in the league and got a ticket to the Europa League. This season they made a comeback and aimed to reach the top four.
Seeing that Yun Sheng's interaction with the fans was over, the Malaga coach walked towards Yun Sheng and said hello to this famous world-class young coach.
"Hello, coach Yunsheng, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Coach Pellegrini, it's a pleasure to play against you."
Standing in front of Yunsheng is the 60-year-old Chilean coach Pellegrini!
Because he has a civil engineering certificate, Pellegrini is affectionately known as "The Engineer" by fans. He coached many South American teams, came to La Liga in 2004, and became the coach of Villarreal at the time. Later, after an unhappy season at Real Madrid, he came to Malaga in 2010 and helped this civilian team steadily improve and enter the European competition.
In the parallel world of later generations, the Malaga he coached in the 11-12 season achieved fourth place in the league, entered the Champions League for the first time, and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League the following season.
In this life, despite the sudden rise of Atletico Madrid, Malaga still got a Europa League seat and represented La Liga this season.
Facing such a strong team with a super coach, Yunsheng's first game in La Liga is not easy!
