Chapter 19 Pretty good debut

Chapter 19 A pretty good debut (")

Carlos ran off the court quickly and he was a little depressed. His condition was still not good in this game. Although the new head coach used himself to play the main players for two games, his condition was still so bad. After the transfer period stopped, the club still loaned a young forward from Real Madrid. Maybe he will be back on the bench soon.

However, Carlos, who has a good temper, did not express any dissatisfaction with Etoo. After hugging Etoo, Carlos got off the court, shook hands with Jose, and then sat back on the bench.

Compared with Carlos's slightly depressed mood, Etoo, who ran on the court, was incredibly happy - it's almost two seasons! He has never played official games much, Etoo is very strong! Cheetahs can only show their value when they run on the grasslands, and they are even worse than a bobcat when they are locked in!

However, no matter how excited Etoo did not forget something. After running on the court, he first ran to Ngonga and told the captain that the coach needed more long passes, and then he ran to Tristan.

"Hey, Samuel, I didn't expect to partner with you so soon!" Tristan said to Etoo with a smile.

Etoo smiled and said, "Diego, the boss asked me to tell you that if there is a direct long pass in the backcourt, grab the first landing point and then ferry to the frontcourt. The next thing is mine."

"Oh, that's it." Tristan nodded, then glared at the same time as if he had thought of something: "If that's the case, wouldn't I help you? Hey, I'm the protagonist on the field!"

"This is the boss's explanation." Etoo said softly.

"Uh, did the boss say it? Well, but if you can't convert my assist into a goal, I'll cause trouble for you!" Tristan showed off his muscles and said whisperingly.

After Etoo came on the court, he did not get any chance to touch the ball immediately. Now Numancia is already under pressure. For the newly promoted team, they don’t need to consider more futures. They just play well in one game. If they can get three points, they can get three points. If they can’t get three points, they can get one point. Now they are behind, so they have to put on the offense. Just equalize it. Of course, it’s better to win. Even if they can’t equalize, there is not much difference between losing one ball and losing two balls.

Facing the opponent's offensive momentum, Mallorca began to recycle on the court - this is a tactic they are better at, especially when leading the way.

Numancia also had no scruples. Mallorca's defense line was not too easy to break, but it was not impossible to break. What's more, everyone knows that Mallorca's quick counterattack is not particularly fast, just pay attention.

Obviously, they are not familiar with Etoo - no wonder Etoo said he has played in La Liga for two years, but in the past two years, he has played only three times, and is often placed at the winger - Jose has to thank the coaches who have led Etooo before.

Etoo was swimming in the frontcourt, but he did not ignore the situation behind him. At this time, the game had gradually become hot. Although he could only accommodate 3,000 people at home, the fans of Numancia still covered the entire stadium with their collective shouts!

Although it is just a small town with a population of less than 40,000, and although it is just a stadium with a capacity of only 3,000, their identities are no different from those top giant clubs - they agree to be a top club! They also play football in the top league!

Midfielder Pacheta gritted his teeth and swung his right foot and shot from a long time from the goal!

This shot was of extremely high quality. The ball flew into the penalty area quickly, flew past Nino, and then flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Franco jumped up and stretched his fingers in the air as much as possible. He held the ball with no means to send it in between. The slightly changed direction hit the far post. Then he bounced back to the penalty area with the sighs of the Numancia fans. A striker of Numancia flew over and saw that there was no angle to shoot. He immediately took the ball to pass it to the far corner. Nadal retreated and then headed the ball out of the penalty area. Mallorca's crisis was temporarily lifted!

Soller fell to the ground and tackled the ball to Ngongga. A midfielder of Numancia immediately rushed towards him, preventing the captain of Mallorca from passing the ball easily - they knew about the previous game. Mallorca's offense seemed to have only three tricks, Ngong added a goal, Stankovic or Ibagasa broke through, and Tristan grabbed the spot in the middle.

However, at this time, Mallorca's attack methods were more than one another!

After the opponent had already forced him over, Engongjia could no longer divide the sides quickly and accurately, but now he has another way of attack.

Seeing the other party pushing him over, Engongjia directly swung his right foot and passed it for a long time!

"Engong increased the clearance of the big foot... Well, it is worth mentioning that this is the first clearance of the big foot in this game. As Mallorca's offense and defense hub, the previous game may have been the reason why coach Jose asked for it in the previous game. He always took the ball and then divided the side. Although Mallorca's offense is not very fast, he can always create opportunities. This counterattack style is different from Cooper's counterattack tactics. However, this time his clearance is very clean. After all, if you control the ball too much in the backcourt, it is easy to make mistakes... Oh! This clearance is really passed..."

Amid the commentator's shocked shout, Ngongjia's ball, which looked so cleared, flew directly to the center circle, jumped up towards Tristan, who was running towards the landing point, and then grabbed the first landing point in front of the opponent's defender!

Unlike before, Tristan did not control the ball himself after grabbing the point, nor did he head back to continue organizing the attack, but instead took the ball to Numancia's half-court!

"Tristan topped the ball to Numancia's halftime, and this action was a little panicked. There were no Mallorca players in Numancia's halftime. Rasplying the ball to the ball can only allow Numancia to easily organize the attack again. If you control the ball, it would be better to wait for the teammates on both wings to follow, and at least it would give the defense some chance to breathe... Oh! Who is that? The speed is so fast!"

In the horrifying eyes of Numancia fans, a red and black figure began to rush from the Mallorca halftime, like a black lightning flashing across the clear sky, engraving an indelible trace on the sky!

When Tristan took off, Etoo was still in the top of the arc in the middle circle. After Tristan pushed the ball towards Numancia's half, Etoo had already raised his speed to the highest level. Like a cheetah hunting food on the grassland, Fengchi electric engine rushed towards his target - the football flying forward in the air and about to land!

Accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate again!

The moving legs drove a strange rhythm, and the muscles were beating on the thighs, bringing a strong sense of beauty. Under Etoo's sprint, the distance between the two Numancia defenders who were originally five meters in front of him was gradually shortening, four meters, three meters, and two meters.

Finally, after the ball landed and bounced upwards, Etoo accelerated again during the run, successfully surpassing the two central defenders, then stretched out his foot to pad the ball directly, and then drove the ball forward!

"Catch up! Etoo caught up with the ball, single shot! His speed is amazing! Let's see what he will do next... Ah, he dribbled the ball and approached the front of the penalty area, and Numancia's goalkeeper chose to attack!"

When the ball was falling, Numancia's goalkeeper Nunes had already abandoned the goal and attacked. His judgment was correct, but he still underestimated Etoo's speed. When Etoo received the ball, he had not yet been able to run out of the penalty area. After seeing Etoo's stop, he ran back first, then turned around and attacked again. After a while, his feet were already in chaos.

Facing Nunez who rushed over, Etoo decisively pushed and shot while running!

After seeing the ball fly out of Etoo's feet, Nunez fell down hastily, but was still a step slower. The ball rolled past his armpit and flew towards the goal behind him.

The Numancia fans in the stands held their breath, and Jose also stood up - if he scored a goal just after he came on as a substitute for Mallorca, Etoo's future path will be much easier!

Perhaps Jose's expectation alone could not resist the resentment of the 3,000 fans of Numancia. After the ball rolled quickly on the lawn for a distance, it directly hit the outside of the goal post with the comforting eyes of Numancia fans, and then rolled horizontally along the bottom line!

Jose suddenly leaned back, and a hint of regret appeared in his heart.

Although he absolutely believes that Etoo can succeed in Mallorca, he still regrets that he failed to expand the score - just one goal lead is not enough. If he can expand to two goals, then this game will basically be won!

However... it's not over yet! This attack is not over yet!

After the shot, Etoo's movement paused for a moment, but he continued to run towards the goal, and then got the ball in front of all the opponent's defenders. Numancia's defenders were not slow. Although they were left behind by Etoo before, the pause brought by the shot made them catch up with Etoo. After seeing Etoo get the ball, the two defenders immediately stuck to him, one cut off his shooting route, and the other kept oppressing Etoo from behind.

Etoo tried hard to protect the ball, but was still pressed by the opponent's two defenders near the baseline, and he couldn't even turn around.

Trying to protect the ball, Etoo looked up and looked back, and then he saw a red and black figure emerging into his eyes.

Before I could see which teammate he was following, I leaned back hard, squeezed Numancia's defender away, and then raised my foot and passed the ball back!

The one who received the ball was Stankovic who was in the receiver. In the counterattack just now, his position was the first to follow up besides Etoo and Tristan!

Facing the ball passed by Etoo, Stankovic swung his left foot while running and shot immediately!

"Get in!" Jose jumped up with his arms wide open, which would be a goal to lock in the victory!

The ball flew to the far corner of the goal. Nunes, who had just gotten up and returned to the goal, leaping hard, but he could only catch a ball of air!

The ball flew into the goal quickly, and the huge sighs of the Numancia players sounded in the stands!

Stankovic rushed off the field with his arms wide open, and Jose jumped up, waved his fists and shouted: "Beautiful job, You Wan!"

Amid the cheers of hundreds of Mallorca fans at the scene, the Mallorca players hugged each other, and now it is the 70th minute of the game, and Mallorca's victory is in sight!

Etoo also hugged his teammates. Although he missed his first goal in Mallorca, he contributed an assist in this goal. This kind of dedication will not be forgotten. For a player who has just joined, it is already rare to have such performance!

After thinking about this, Etoo could not help but be more grateful to Jose. If it weren't for the targeted tactical fine-tuning, I'm afraid he wouldn't have easily obtained such an opportunity? Unfortunately, he failed to score.

At this time, Jose, who had embraced the players, walked over and patted Etoo's shoulder hard, and said loudly: "Good job, Samuel, continue to work hard next!"

Hearing this sentence, Etoo suddenly felt that the regret in his heart had disappeared, but he did not express any other emotions, but nodded heavily to Jose and ran to the court.

"Yes, it's nothing to miss a goal. Since the head coach will use me, are you still afraid that you won't score? Then keep working hard!"

Looking at Etoo's back running onto the stadium, Jose touched his chin in surprise: "Uh, this kid should be very grateful to me... It seems that he has to continue working hard..."
