Depor got off to a good start by beating Atletico Madrid in their first La Liga game.
However, Yun Sheng was not happy for long. He asked the players not to take it lightly, not to be complacent, and to continue to invest in rigorous training.
Depor's games in August started on the 18th, and there were four games until the end of the month, a double match in a row.
On August 18, the first round of La Liga faced Atletico Madrid.
On August 22, in the first round of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona played at home.
On August 25, La Liga played away to Real Madrid in the second round.
On August 29, in the second round of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona played away.
Faced with such a dense schedule, even if Yunsheng beat Atletico Madrid in the first round of the league, they would not have any time to rest, let alone take it lightly.
Because the next two opponents have a more luxurious lineup and stronger strength.
On August 22, Riazor Stadium once again ushered in a heavyweight contest.
Many years later, Depor once again got the opportunity to participate in the Spanish Super Cup, which made countless old fans sigh with emotion.
Facing the super strong Barcelona, Yunsheng still played with all the main players today!
Because it is the beginning of the season, the players have excellent physical reserves, so even if Yunsheng plays with all the main players, the players will not have a big problem.
The combination of midfielder Gattuso, Riquelme and Kaká has come together again.
In this game for Barcelona, Messi was absent due to injury, and new aid Neymar was also feeling unwell during training and was unable to play, so today Barcelona can be said to be playing with a disabled team. Despite this, their third midfielder Habaib still started.
Therefore, in this game, the midfield control of the two teams is the biggest factor in the matchup.
At the beginning of this game, Depor's strategy was still to grab the opening.
Kaka's cooperation with his teammates is becoming more and more tacit. He was very active at the beginning, and the opponent's defense in Barcelona's half was very difficult.
And Riquelme's precise long passes at intervals also brought many opportunities to Wu Lei and Irving.
However, Valdes performed very well today. He blocked Depor's shots continuously and did not give his opponent a chance.
On Barcelona's side, although they don't have Messi and Neymar, their front trident is still sharp.
The combination of Fabregas, Sanchez and Pedro is also the top combination in Europe. They are also the main players in any team, but even in Barcelona, they can only find them when Messi is absent. Opportunity to appear. After Neymar recovers from injury, the three of them will compete for the remaining starting position. The competition is too fierce.
With the support of midfielder Habaib, they also got many opportunities. But Navas played more bravely today. He saved two consecutive shots and must have scored.
Although Depor won the last game, Navas failed to achieve a clean sheet. Even though no one criticized him and it was not his responsibility, he still blamed himself very much.
In this game, he secretly vowed that he would not let his opponent score again and achieve his first clean sheet of the season!
Throughout the first half, the players of both teams were in excellent condition, especially their respective midfielders, who were at their peak performance. There were no mistakes in passing opportunities. This is simply too rare!
However, the goalkeepers of the two teams performed even better, making consecutive blocks and saves to keep the goal.
After the start of the second half, the two teams made continuous substitution adjustments. Lula, the former Barcelona first assistant coach who has just been promoted to Barcelona coach, is looking forward to a victory in this game.
As Vilanova's successor, he had high hopes, but he got a draw in his first league game, so he very much hopes to win his first coaching victory in this game.
Unfortunately, he did not realize his wish in the end.
In the 78th minute of the game, Depor, who had been unable to score for a long time, finally scored.
This time it was Kaka's wonderful long-range shot that helped the team score a valuable goal.
The final score of this game was also fixed at 1-0.
Although Barcelona still has a chance to play in the second round, many media are not optimistic about Barcelona's journey this season. Although Messi did not appear in this game, in the midfield battle, Depor's combination seemed to be better.
Riquelme versus Xavi, Kaka versus Iniesta, Gattuso versus Busquets.
Many fans are more optimistic about Depor's midfield trio, regardless of reputation or status.
"AS" even wrote an article praising the Depor midfielder: "Now the best midfield combination in the world is no longer Habaib, but the Depor midfield trio! The only one who can compete with them is Arsenal's The Three Musketeers of China! As long as Depor’s midfield trio are not injured, then this season’s Triple Crown will be theirs!”
Although "Asian News" is the mouthpiece bought by Yunsheng, their statement has been recognized by many people.
Especially for a team like Barcelona, once Messi's invincible movement and support in the frontcourt are gone, Habaib's power will not be as good as before.
What many "Mei Hei" people often say is that with a midfielder of Ha Baibu's caliber, even if there is a dog in front of him, he can score goals.
It turned out to be just one game without Messi, and the usefulness of the Argentine ball king was clearly demonstrated.
But having said that, it seems that many "Luo Hei" have said similar things. For example, in such a powerful offensive system of Real Madrid, even a dog with a leash can score dozens of goals in a single season...
Favoring one over another, favoring the past over the present, this is definitely something that fake fans will do. People who truly love football will definitely love every football genius, regardless of nationality, age and origin.
No matter what, Depor won this game, which is a good thing.
But for Depor, it will definitely be more difficult every game.
Especially the match against Real Madrid in the second round of the league three days later caused Yunsheng to encounter a huge obstacle.
After a week of double matches, most of Deportivo's main players were not in good physical condition. If they were forced to play in this game, it might be counterproductive. After Yun Sheng thought about it, he decided to give young players a chance.
In this game, Yunsheng simply and boldly launched the B lineup.
4-3-2-1 formation: Goalkeeper Alan Subbia, defenders from left to right are Felipe, Koulibaly, Albiol and Miranda, three midfielders from left to right are Cai Huikang, Bo Gerba and De Bruyne, the two shadow forwards are Ronaldo and Carrasco, and center Lukaku.
In this game, let alone the mainstays of the offense such as Riquelme and Kaká, even Navas and Zhang Linpeng, who had a very high attendance rate last season, sat on the bench.
In fact, not all players in Yunsheng's A lineup are unable to persevere, but in order to consider the physical consumption throughout the season, Yunsheng must make adjustments in advance. After all, when the Champions League comes, the team will be under greater pressure. , these young players must be allowed to grow quickly.
Although it is only the B lineup, Yunsheng still has full confidence in these players. Especially the Belgian trio, Yunsheng has high hopes for them.
But when it came to the actual game, the obstacles Real Madrid brought to them far exceeded Yun Sheng's expectations...
