Alonso's current situation is definitely not a terminal illness - it's just that he feels uncertain about himself due to the team's different performances. To put it bluntly, it's a knot in his heart, and his performance is actually not affected. As long as Jose can untie the knot in the heart next, Alonso can quickly solve this problem.

However, if Alonso's next performance is affected and he will continue to drag on it, it would be hard to say - Jose naturally does not want the midfield core he has tried every means to become less outstanding than in history due to a series of changes, that would be too scammed.

"I think I understand what you mean, Harvey."

Jose held his right elbow with his left hand and touched his chin with his right hand. He walked back and forth a few steps in the office: "Do you think that when you became the main force at Real Sociedad before, Real Sociedad could only succeed in relegation, but now you have left, Real Sociedad has begun to attack the top few. Do you think your strength is not enough and has dragged down Real Sociedad?"

Alonso did not answer, but his expression showed this very well.

"You're wrong, Harvey."

Jose stopped, then looked at Alonso and said, "I don't know what you think of football... In my opinion, in football, it's not just a person who performs well to make the team successful. To some extent, the head coach is very important."

"The head coach of Real Sociedad was not outstanding before. Real Sociedad was not without good players, but he couldn't use it. For example, you are a natural center of midfielder who is brave enough to take responsibility, but he made you a worker... This made Real Sociedad, who has the strength to attack the European arena, only aiming to relegate. The current head coach is even better. Although he is not particularly outstanding, he can make Kovacevic, Nihart, de Pedro, Carl and others perform well, so it was natural that Real Sociedad performed well this season."

Speaking of this, Jose laughed: "So, this has nothing to do with you, it's just that Real Sociedad was abnormal before. In an abnormal environment, you performed very well. I believe that if you were still at Real Sociedad this season, Real Sociedad would perform better."

Hearing this, Alonso's eyes shone a little - Jose's affirmation was very important to him, especially now that he had doubts about himself.

Seeing this, Jose decided to add another fire.

"Since being the head coach of Mallorca, I have been optimistic about many people. They were obscured at the beginning, but they never disappointed me."

Jose's words were filled with a strong self-confidence. This self-confidence was not obtained for nothing, but the confidence he had accumulated over a long period of time: "When I took over Mallorca, I was facing a mess, the league was at the bottom, the main lineup was aging... I didn't have money to let me introduce players, so I valued Tristan and loaned Etoo. As a result, they became the two most important players in Mallorca's second half of the season, using constant goals to make us relegation successful and won the League Cup. In the second season, I also accepted it halfway through. At that time, I already had the money to buy people, Ronaldo, Karaze, Capdvilla, and the youth team promoted Mota and Luke. Then? Ronaldo became the world champion, Carraze's worth reached 20 million US dollars, Capdvilla is now a member of the national team, Luke was our best scorer last season, and Mota became the core..."

Jose tells his experiences over the past few seasons. He does not exaggerate it, but just describes it very normally, but has great infectiousness - only real is infectious.

Alonso was fascinated by the hearing. Jose's performance in the past few seasons is a myth. This young head coach, who is less than 30 years old, has laid his achievements. If he wants to be the king, he only lacks a few heavy champions. The person involved described what he had done in person, which made people even more fascinated.

"This summer, Mallorca left a lot of people. To be honest, I don't care about Karaze and Luke's departure, because they are just role players, which is easy to make up for. Only Mota's departure is the most troublesome thing. Because he is the core of the midfield. The role players are easy to make up for, but the core is difficult to make up for... But when Mota decided to leave, I thought of you the first time. Because of the game against Real Sociedad last season, your performance made me notice... Although you were just a engineer at that time, your confidence and overall view after getting the ball have made me feel better.

I realized the possibility that you can become a midfield core, which surprised me because although Spain produces a lot of midfielders that can be organized backwards, no one can have a strong body and excellent running ability like you. This made me feel very moved because Mota is a player of this type, and you have his advantages, but you are more flexible than him. At that time, I had the idea of ​​buying you, but you are about the same age as Mota, and I can't waste a midfield core of about the same age to train another one."

Alonso nodded unconsciously. Jose's words made sense, just like if you have a Zico, you won't take the initiative to pursue Maradona. Even if you know Maradona will be better, unless you sell Zico first...

"I'm very accurate in looking at people."

Speaking of this, Jose pointed to his eyes. Alonso had no doubt about this - because Jose has been the head coach for a short time, but he maintained two difficult records - that is, the home unbeaten record and the buyers are almost excellent, with almost no failures. From Senna, it can be seen that as long as he is positioned as the future star or the main player now, he can perform very well. Even Wenger, who claims to have the best eye for wisdom, did not do this - he was dismissed by Virtod.

"So you have to have confidence in yourself."

Jose smiled: "You are the one I am optimistic about. No word I said when I introduced you is false... I am optimistic that you can become the core of Mallorca's future, and you even have the ability to become the core now. But you are not mature enough now and you still need to get rid of some of the problems left when fighting in the army. So I loaned Albertini, who is now, and you are the future. In a season, you will become the main force of Mallorca, just like Mota before, but I think you have a better future than Mota because you are more flexible and responsible than him. In the position of the midfielder, these two points are also more important."

"Don't doubt your ability, Xavi. You haven't become the main player of Mallorca, it's just that I have higher expectations for your future. Being a substitute in Mallorca is no worse than playing as a main player at Real Sociedad, let alone you become the core next season... Look at Drogba, he trained for a whole season and endured a season of loneliness last season, and then, this season, he became the player with the most goals in Mallorca."

Speaking of this, Jose patted Alonso on the shoulder: "Remember, under my hands, the efforts will definitely be rewarded."

Looking at Alonso, whose expressions on his face began to become richer, Jose knew that his purpose had almost been achieved, and if he continued, he would add to it, so he stopped talking.

"Think about it carefully, you are the main player the day after tomorrow." Jose said only one last time: "This is also a good opportunity to test you, show what you learned from Albertini on the court, so that Real Sociedad's old teammates can see what your changes will be after coming to Mallorca!"

***************************************

Jose didn't know how effective his words could play, but during the training the next day, it was obvious that Alonso's expression and attitude were countless times more active than before!

In addition to becoming more serious in training, he followed Albertini whenever he had time and kept asking Albertini some questions - although Albertini felt a little tired these days, there was no problem with training, and he was also very enthusiastic about answering his questions to Alonso.

Seeing this scene, Jose was relieved. He didn't care how Alonso performed next. The key was that he had to follow the current path before he could become an excellent midfield core. Drogba performed averagely when he came on as a substitute last season, scoring occasionally, but it did not prevent him from becoming Mallorca's top scorer this season.

"The next thing is to deal with Real Sociedad." Jose said to Natal with a smile.

Real Sociedad's performance before this season was very good, but their performance against strong teams was average, losing to Valencia, Celta, Real Madrid, and draw with Coruña. The results against the top few were quite average, which was also related to their formation. Their head coach Denox used a three- or five-two formation. After the success of the Brazilian national team in the World Cup, many coaches began to adopt such formations. However, they ignored the crazy running and siege of Brazil's two back midfielders and three central defenders under the crazy attack in the frontcourt. More importantly, few teams with wing players like Cafo and Carlos can have it.

Although Alan Bru and Gabrielondo on both wings of Real Sociedad are also very good wing attackers, they are still much worse than Brazil's double card. What's even more serious is that Real Sociedad's midfielder is a tactic of double front midfielder with single back midfielder. Carpin and De Pedro attack, and only one Boris is dragging the back defense. This arrangement of troops can only make the defensive defects bigger.

The two wings suppressed the opponent, focusing on breaking through the middle, and it was not very difficult to tear open the defense line of Real Sociedad. Even if the Dutch goalkeeper Westved, who they introduced in the middle of last season, performed well, it would not cause too much hinder Mallorca's goal.

While the defense could not contain Mallorca's offense, even Casillas conceded four goals in the offense against Mallorca, let alone Westved.

Real Sociedad has strong offensive ability, but Van Bitten's existence can minimize Kovacevic's threat - even if his physical fitness is not as good as his or her height is still an advantage.

Nehart is more like a libero in the frontcourt, a bit troublesome, but it is not undeniable.

When December 15th arrived, Alonso's confidence began to reach its peak.

Listening to the crazy shouts in the stands, Alonso, wearing the No. 17 jersey, stood in the player's passage, turning a blind eye to the gazes thrown by Real Sociedad players.

Real Sociedad is already past. He, Xavi Alonso, is now a player in Mallorca. In this game, his task is to use offense to curb Kalping's organization, and at the same time use passes to help his teammates hit the ball into Real Sociedad's goal!

Now, let the past teammates see what I got in Mallorca!
Chapter completed!
