"We played well in the first half and had a great advantage, but we were behind Barcelona in the score... There is no need to be depressed, because this is only the first half, because we still have enough time to win the score back. There is only one goal, so there is no need to worry."

After returning to the locker room, Jose did not lose his temper. Even though he was quite dissatisfied with the situation in the first half, although Mallorca also failed to bet, most of the time they were able to tear open the opponent's defense before the opponent counterattacked, and then expand their advantage and win like a tyrannical victory. However, when facing a strong enemy like Barcelona, ​​such a small probability happened...

However, what he wants to emphasize is one thing - that is the issue of probability. When you do it in the right direction, of course, there may be situations where you can get bad results if you do it right. However, in this case, you cannot shake it because as long as you persist, you will eventually get good results than you get bad results, which proves that your direction is not wrong.

What Jose wants to emphasize is that Mallorca's direction is not wrong. Being behind or even failure cannot shake confidence. This is more important than winning a game.

"I originally thought that after this summer, Barcelona would become our strongest opponent, but from the first half, it was just that." Jose said relaxedly: "They were almost completely suppressed by us overall, but they could only rely on counterattacks to score goals... Such luck will not continue! As long as we continue to perform like this in the second half, we will definitely be able to defeat them! Our style of play in the first half was very good, and their defense line was infinitely close to collapse. As long as we add more effort in the second half, their defense line will definitely not be able to support it!"

After saying so much in one go, Jose turned around and gestured on the tactical board - he also liked to use slogans to motivate players, but it is obvious that just motivating and then making a joke is not enough, and he also has to take out some real things.

"In offense, we mainly used the first half to pull the pass and pull the attack after the round trip, which made our offense seem very few times in the penalty area. This is also the reason why Barcelona's defense seemed tenacious in the first half. In fact, we don't need to be so careful and boldly pass the ball to their penalty area, using our skills and dexterity to fight them! Barcelona does not have a standard defensive midfielder, and we are all familiar with Mota. Although his defensive ability is also good, he is not a full-time defensive player. In this case, Barcelona's midfielder defense is

Protection is actually very average. What about their two central defenders? They are quite tall enough, but Oleg lacks experience and Marquis seems impulsive. Our attack at the front of the penalty area cannot force out their weaknesses. Only the attack in the penalty area can reveal their two central defenders' flaws... Do you understand? We played a little too conservatively in the first half, and we need more proactive in the second half. In addition, there are more crosses from both sides. Although their central defenders are tall, they may not win us by grabbing points, because we have the best header in the world!"

When Jose said this, he patted Klose on the shoulder. Klose was originally a little ashamed because he felt that he had not played any role in the offense in the first half. After Jose did this, Klose immediately raised his head...

"That's all I have to say on the offense, and now I'm mainly talking about the defense."

After slapping Close on the shoulder, Jose turned to other players: "Our offense has always been suppressive, so there are many gaps in the backcourt. Everyone saw it in the first half. Barcelona's counterattack was quite fierce. Although they were lucky in defense, if their counterattack was half as lucky as defense, maybe we lost not two balls but three or even four balls."

The Mallorca players were a little dissatisfied with this, but the facts were the case. What's more, since Jose discovered this, he would definitely have a way to deal with it... This is what Mallorca players think.

"Mota, Xavi, Deco, these are players who have the ability to play the ball and have excellent passing skills, so Barcelona's counterattack is difficult to contain at the source, because no matter which one of them gets the ball, it is possible to create a single shot through long passes or straight passes, so we can only make other things. The three forwards in Barcelona are all players with excellent speed skills, but there is only one person who really poses a huge threat to us in the counterattack."

Speaking of this, Jose drew a circle at the Barcelona arrow position on the tactical board: "Our acquaintance, Samuel Etoo."

The players of Mallorca's expressions were a little solemn - they knew Etoo's speed. Etoo's speed has always been the first in the team before. Maybe he might not be able to beat Kaka in the 100-meter sprint, but no one in the team can compare to him with the acceleration within 30 meters!

"As long as he runs, we will find it difficult to control him, so we can't give him such space." Jose continued, and then drew three circles in the half of Mallorca on the tactical board.

"When we attacked, there were three people unable to move." Jose's voice sounded in the locker room. All the Mallorca players looked at the tactical board and listened carefully to what Jose said: "Sena, the position is fixed near the center circle. When the opponent counterattacks and passes directly, stand at the position and strive to be able to interrupt their passes in the middle. Even if they can't stop, they can't easily find the route of the pass. Mex, if the opponent's ball is passed, strive to become the first line of defense, interfere with the person who takes the ball, so that they can't launch a counterattack quickly. Mattias, you are the last line of defense, so your position cannot be too far ahead, and deal with Barcelona's counterattack, offside.

It is of great use, because the space on our defense line is too large, and the speed of our defense line can only curb Etoo's counterattack at a short distance, so Mathias, you can be at a lower position. When Barcelona starts to counterattack, you don't need to stick it up as soon as possible. You just need to block the route and prevent them from moving forward unscrupulously. Do you know? As long as the time is delayed, it is enough to complete the return to defense! Three points will kill all the possibility of their counterattack. Other people's missions are only one thing to do, and that is to tear open their defense line with the offense. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Mallorca's players responded with a loud bang. Jose said it very carefully on both ends of the offense and defense, which left them no longer confused - it would not work if you play "you just do what I said" on the football field. You have to let the players know what to do and what purpose they are doing. They will not be confused on the court. Keeping the players clear is the most important thing!

"Start, kill them... Let them know who is the master on this court!" Jose waved his hand, and Mattias swung his arm and waved twice: "Start, kill those guys from Catalonia!"

After shouting, he seemed to notice something and said to Iniesta apologetically: "Sorry, I'm not talking about you, Andrez..."

Iniesta shrugged amid the laughter of other players: "You didn't say me at all, because I'm an Albacete..."

Jose smiled slightly. The reason why Iniesta could say this was at least proved that Barcelona was not so deep in his heart. After all, he was not a Catalan...

You should know that when Jose was poached, he was still a little worried, because the Catalan teenagers who were poached by other clubs in the future had some results and cried and shouted to go back to Barcelona. The reason was that Catalonia was their home, and Pique and Fabregas were the best examples. Although both of them were so obvious because of their family backgrounds, they did it so obviously, but Jose had to worry about this. If Iniesta was trained, he would take Guan Yunchang to ride alone for thousands of miles, and then he was given a transfer fee of less than 30 million euros by Barcelona and paid in installments, then he would be so stupid...

However, it seems that there is still a big difference between Iniesta, Fabregas and Pique. After all, Pique's grandfather served as the vice chairman of Barcelona for twenty years, and Fabregas's father also had a close relationship with the Barcelona club. Compared with them, Iniesta is from Albacette. Now his father is also preparing to move the Albacette bar to Mallorca. It is natural that he has a completely different attitude from these two people.

After the players set off one after another, Jose took a deep breath in the locker room, then hurried out of the locker room and prepared for the second half of the game.

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

"Mr. Rijkaard, your team played very well in the first half!" Jose greeted Rijkaard enthusiastically, which made Rijkaard feel confused.

"When Jose is enthusiastic about you, you have to cover your pocket." This is a sentence that has become popular among managers of major European league teams. It means that when Jose starts to treat you very enthusiastically, he is probably interested in a player in your team who has outstanding potential but has not yet discovered it. At this time, you must be vigilant.

Rijkald is not a manager, he is just a head coach, but when he saw Jose greet him enthusiastically, he began to feel this way...

There must be something wrong, Rijkaard thought in his heart.

However, no matter how vigilant he was, Rijkaard was not willing to show weakness in front of Jose. He shook his head: "Mr. Jose, it's just the first half... We will continue to work like this in the second half."

"Continue like this, let's contribute a wonderful game together!" Jose smiled happily: "I think this will definitely be a wonderful game!"

Seeing Jose smiling so happily, Rijkald became even more alert - this guy must have some tricks...

"To be honest, Mr. Rijcard, I am looking forward to competing with your team in the league... Only with a team with such strong offensive ability can we show how outstanding our offensive power is! Come on, Mr. Rijcard!" Jose made a "come" move, then left the visiting team's coaching seat and returned to his position.

"What the hell is this guy thinking?" Rijkald's brow frowned into a pimple.
Chapter completed!
