In the summer of 2004, Owen switched from Liverpool to Real Madrid and became Real Madrid's new striker.
Irving, who was so high-spirited at the time, never imagined that this decision would be the starting point for his career to go downhill.
In one season at Real Madrid, he played a total of 45 times, most of them as substitutes. Even so, he still delivered 16 goals and 4 assists in a single season.
But the days of waiting for opportunities by the Real Madrid water fountain are really uncomfortable. The forward combination of Raul and Ronaldo is unstoppable, and Morientes' position cannot be shaken by Irving. As the fourth forward, Irving has played too few games in Real Madrid.
By the summer of 2005, although Morientes had left the team, the joining of Brazilian talented star Robinho completely made Irving lose hope of entering the starting lineup. In the end, he only stayed at Real Madrid for one year before leaving sadly. .
But even so, Irving's efficiency in Real Madrid is still extremely high.
And behind this efficiency, it is inseparable from the help of Beckham.
Just like the brotherhood between Dominguez and Oliveira, Beckham and Irving are also like brothers. Although the teams they played for in England were rivals of the century, the friendship between the two in the national team was extremely deep. After Irving joined Real Madrid, Beckham gave him great help. It is no exaggeration to say that Irving Half of the goals scored at Real Madrid were related to Beckham.
From 2004 to 2013, 9 years have passed, and the tacit understanding between the two close friends remains the same.
After Cai Huikang successfully intercepted the ball, Irving was already ready to run, and Beckham didn't even take a second look, and he passed a long ball straight to Irving!
The two pass and run together in perfect harmony! Owen easily led forward and Varane was passed!
He even stopped the ball and dribbled past people, all in one go!
Starting goalkeeper Diego Lopez faced Irving alone, and he struck decisively!
Irving moved to the outside, avoided the angle, and volleyed hard!
The ball goes straight into the near corner!
The ball went in! ! !
Just fifteen minutes into the game, Depor took the lead in scoring!
1 to 0! Depor leads the total score!
Owen, who scored the goal, ran towards the midfield and hugged his old friend Beckham tightly!
When Beckham came to Deportivo in the winter, he was still recovering from his injury. Today's passing and running cooperation was the first pass he received from his old friend after returning to La Liga!
"David! Thank you for the pass! You should stay at Depor! We will win the Double this year and win the Champions League together next year!"
Looking at the excited Irving, Beckham was all smiles.
At this time, the Depor coaching staff on the sidelines were equally excited.
Yun Sheng and Li Tie hugged and celebrated, their faces full of joy.
Even though he is a former Real Madrid player, Guti couldn't stop smiling and applauded vigorously.
The players on the bench also jumped up and encouraged their teammates on the sidelines.
The game restarted, and Yunsheng waved his hand - continue to defend and counterattack!
Real Madrid was anxious just now, and now Real Madrid is even more anxious.
Not only was there an away goal disadvantage, but the total number of goals scored was also overtaken.
Now all Real Madrid players have only one thought - to score!
Throughout the first half, Real Madrid began their half-time offensive and defensive drills.
The offensive line headed by Cristiano Ronaldo frequently received passes from stars such as Modric and Alonso, but it was extremely difficult for them to pass through Depor's midfield defense.
He finally used his cooperation to get away from Cai Huikang, but was blocked by Zhang Linpeng again. Even if he bypassed Zhang Linpeng and shot, the ball was saved by Navas again.
Seeing Depor's excellent defense, Mourinho on the sidelines was extremely anxious.
As Mourinho, who once dominated Europe with his defense, he was full of praise for Depor's defensive system.
The central defenders are taller and faster, one older and the other younger. The full-backs have speed and strength, and the goalkeepers are top-notch. Coupled with the defense of Cai Huikang and Beckham in the midfield, Depor's defense is like an iron wall!
He frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Compared to the excellent offensive ability in the midfield and frontcourt, Deportivo's solid defense is the most terrifying thing..."
Throughout the first half, Depor did not allow Real Madrid to gain any advantage. The referee blew the half-time whistle and the score was still 1-0.
At the beginning of the second half, Riquelme was brutally knocked down by Ramos. His ankle was slightly injured. Yun Sheng did not dare to take it lightly and chose to replace his No. 10 core.
He followed the same example and replaced Gattuso, letting him form a double midfielder with Cai Huikang, and then pushed Beckham to the front again, once again letting him replace Riquelme's organization and promotion work.
This adjustment worked extremely well.
The tacit cooperation between Beckham and Irving cannot even be matched by Riquelme; and Depor's defense was excellent just now. This time, the combination of two powerful players, Cai Huikang and Gattuso, is even better than the iron wall. An iron gate.
Real Madrid's attack was fruitless, and they were almost succeeded by a sneak attack by Deportivo.
Beckham passed the ball to Henry, who passed Coentrao and then passed to Drogba. Drogba turned around and shot the ball out of the goal, missing by just a little.
Real Madrid fans broke out in a cold sweat.
Cristiano Ronaldo in the frontcourt stomped his feet vigorously to vent his dissatisfaction.
This dissatisfaction was with Coentrao, who made a defensive mistake, because his recklessness almost caused the team to lose the ball.
This dissatisfaction is also for myself. It is now the 65th minute of the game and I have not been able to help the team score a goal.
Now as long as one goal is needed, the two teams can return to the same starting line!
Drogba's shot not only hit Ronaldo's heart, but also made Mourinho fearful.
As one of his favorite forwards, he is well aware of Drogba's strength. If he can no longer score goals, the situation in front of Real Madrid's goal will become even more dangerous.
Mourinho made a prompt decision and replaced Khedira, Coentrao and Varane with Morata, Higuain and Callejon.
In a desperate move, five strike killers piled up on the court in one breath!
They have different characteristics, so keep an eye on them!
Just when all Real Madrid fans looked towards the court with anticipation, two people on the bench were extremely disappointed.
Kaká, who has already returned from injury, has been on the bench for a month. He came on the bench twice for 22 minutes in five games. This is Kaká’s playing time throughout February.
Seeing that all the substitution quotas had been used up, Kaka's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Casillas on the side patted him on the shoulder and wanted to say something, but as the manager of the water fountain, what could he say...
silence.
On the other side of the seat, Ozil also looked disappointed, even angry.
From darling to outcast, this season, Ozil's status in Mourinho's heart has plummeted due to his declining performance on the court and constant negative comments off the court.
Looking sideways at Kaka, Ozil snorted secretly.
An old guy actually has more playing time than me?
This broken team can't stay anymore!
I'm leaving next season! The team that wants me has it all!
