Chapter 51 The embodiment of value
"Well, should I learn from Xiao Ming and intercept Figo in the middle? For Barcelona, Figo's visit to Mallorca is much better than going to Real Madrid, but I don't know if Figo is willing or not." Jose touched his chin and started to yell. For him, the means were not difficult. It was just to use the thinking and contradictions of several parties to create a space that could make him dance well, but...
"Fuck, more than 30 million US dollars in compensation and more than 50 million US dollars in transfer fees, my family must be filled in half of it in one person... Forget it, with that damn restriction, how dare I spend money..." Jose lamented in his heart, then put down all unrealistic thoughts and began to watch the game on the court carefully.
Ibagasa's attack just now attracted a burst of exclamations from Barcelona fans in the stands, and then they immediately began to shout, hoping that the team could launch an attack immediately and teach the opponent a lesson!
Barcelona launched an attack, but their offense was different from usual. Before, with Cruyvit, the "center that is most suitable for 433" and Rivaldo Figo, two powerful wings. Barcelona's offense is not only unique in Europe, but at least few teams can compare with them. Their weakness has always been on defense rather than offense. However, Figo did not play, Barcelona's offense broke one shoulder. Dani worked very hard and wanted to prove that he was doing well in front of his old club and teammates. However, his most suitable position is the striker or the second striker. He is not good at playing on the wings. In the game, he always unconsciously leans into the middle, but instead squeezes Cruyvit's activity space, which has also had a huge impact on Rivaldo, who often pulls to the middle to attack...
In addition to Ronald Debor, Barcelona fans were helpless to see that there were always four people huddled in the middle, and Barcelona's offense began to become extremely chaotic...
Taking advantage of the chaos of Barcelona's attack, Mallorca took the opportunity to launch a counterattack!
Barcelona's attack is always very high-pressed, and in this case, it is Eto's world!
Ronald Debor made a mistake in passing, and the ball fell directly to Ngongga's feet. Ngongga looked up and saw Tristan approaching the middle, while Etoo had quietly inserted it from the side. This is the most effective way to score in Mallorca's counterattack...
Engongjia did not hesitate anymore, swung his right foot and passed it decisively!
The ball flew accurately toward the center circle. Tristan looked up to observe the landing point of the ball, and used his body to hold Avellado behind him. Although Avellado also judged the landing point correctly, he was not Tristan's opponent in the confrontation of strength!
After easily suppressing Avelado, Tristan jumped up, faced the falling ball, and then headed the ball into the penalty area!
The ball flew quickly to Barcelona's halftime, and Etoo instantly stepped on from the left and chased the ball with big strides!
Cheetah's speed once again performed to the fullest on the Camp Nou court!
Although Rezig is also a fast defender, and although Barcelona's defenders are not slow, they are all left behind by Etoo in the confrontation of speed and sprint!
"Run!Run!Run!"
More than a thousand Mallorca fans who arrived at the scene shouted in unison. Although they were only a drop in the ocean compared to more than 90,000 Barcelona fans, the uniform voices still tenaciously fought for their own living space at the Camp Nou Stadium!
The sound of the wind blew in his ears. Eto'o had forgotten everything in his heart at this moment. He was just running, running constantly, exerting his speed to the fullest, throwing away Rezig, throwing away Debor, and being the first to catch up with the ball!
After receiving the ball, Etoo directly dribbled into Barcelona's penalty area!
Hesp abandoned the goal and attacked!
"Call in, and call me in!" Jose clenched his fist tightly and shouted in his heart.
To talk about teams like Mallorca, they are really the natural enemy of teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona with extremely sharp offensive skills but average defense. In the previous two seasons, Mallorca's winning rate against Real Madrid was quite high, and in the Super Cup, he defeated Barcelona in two rounds to win the championship, relying on tenacious defense and sharp counterattacks.
Although Mallorca once lost tradition this season, after Jose took office, they picked up traditions again, their defense was more stable, and their counterattacks were sharper!
Because he took office late, Jose has no chance to lead the team to Real Madrid. He gave up the game for various reasons when he faced Barcelona. Now facing Barcelona, Jose wants to prove to everyone that his Mallorca also has the strength to challenge the strong team and the giants!
In Jose's extremely expectant eyes, facing Hesp who was attacking, Etoo swung his right foot, but it was a fake move. After Hesp fell to the ground, Etoo quickly thrust away Hesp's hand that he stretched out, and then half turned around and swept the ball on his body!
The ball rolled quickly towards the empty goal, and a second later, it flew into Barcelona's goal!
Jose finally breathed in his chest, and turned into a cheer of joy!
At the same time as his cheers, there were more than a thousand Mallorca fans cheering, and more than 90,000 Barcelona fans were silent at that moment!
Etoo ran down the court with his head held high and his chest held high. As a player who still has a contract with Real Madrid, he also felt unparalleled pride in scoring goals on this court!
Then, he spread his arms and rushed to Jose, hugging him tightly with the coach who brought him from Real Madrid to Mallorca.
If it weren't for Jose, maybe he was still sitting on the bench of Real Madrid, just like in the first half of the season, watching the superstars on the court running, scoring goals, and winning...
The value of a player needs to be reflected on the court.
"It's a lightning-fast counterattack...Mallorca's defensive counterattack is getting better and better. In addition to Tristan, the center, Etoo, who was loaned from Real Madrid, has become the most powerful pawn on Mallorca's forward line. His speed makes up for the last link in Mallorca's tactics... In fact, Mallorca's tactics are not surprising, but they can maximize the strength of Mallorca's current players. Mallorca's strength is not bad, otherwise he would not have won the third place in the league last season. As a young coach, being able to accurately grasp this information has proved his ability. This young man is not simple."
Bones commented. Hidalgo next to him nodded: "Shaville is right. Mallorca's performance after Jose took office is completely different. It has a strong defense and a sharp counterattack... Without introducing too many new players, just a striker from Real Madrid, it is enough to prove Jose's coaching ability. Mallorca is very lucky because they have such an excellent head coach themselves. I can't help but think that if Cooper leaves
If the team's coach is Jose, maybe Mallorca is now qualifying for the Champions League, not fighting for relegation... Maybe Mallorca's strength is not enough to dominate La Liga, but it is enough to become a team that disrupts the situation. However, Mallorca is lucky, and the other relegation teams are unfortunate. Maybe only two teams were relegated, but now they have become three. Judging from Mallorca's recent momentum, there will be no problem with their relegation, and they even have a chance to win the League Cup championship!"
"Compared with Mallorca, Barcelona's recent situation has been very bad. La Coruña has defeated Atletico Madrid and led Barcelona with more than five points. If Barcelona capsizes in this game, there will be six rounds left and five points behind, which is not easy to catch up." Bones added.
When the commentators began to comment on the goal just now and the situation in the league, Mallorca's players had finished their celebration and returned to their own half - now it was only the 14th minute of the first half, and there was still a long time left for the game.
Amid the shouts of Barcelona fans, Barcelona began to attack, and Dani also noticed his problem and stayed on the right side to attack with Van Gaal's roar, but his breakthrough and extraordinary ability are still a certain gap compared to Figo. He is not the kind of player who can break through the wing. He is the best at ambushing behind the center to wait for an opportunity to attack.
Dani was not used to the new position, and Cruyvert was not in good condition in this game. Barcelona's offense fell on the number one superstar Rivaldo. However, under Jose's command, Mallorca decisively launched a intensive defense, temporarily putting down the idea of counterattack, and constantly defending in the half.
Rivaldo is very active in the position. In addition to being on the left, he often goes to the middle to participate in the offense - he is a player who likes to attack in the middle, so he is also a little dissatisfied with Van Gaal, because Van Gaal, who attaches great importance to tactical execution, always stipulates that Rivaldo should act on the left, and even Rivaldo scored two goals in the middle and was criticized by Van Gaal in the locker room after the game...
However, Van Gaal gave Rivaldo more room for activity in this game, which also made Rivaldo very happy.
However, facing Mallorca's defense line, Rivaldo's activity did not create too many scoring opportunities for Barcelona. On the left, Soler and Ibagasa joined forces to defend him, and when they came to the middle, Ngongga and another Soler interfered with him. No matter how he ran back and forth, Mallorca's players thoroughly implemented the regional defense policy and did not mess up their defensive formation by his running. This is the situation that offensive players fear the most. If the defense line is not messy, there will be no more opportunities to exploit. How much effect the offense can have in this case depends on luck...
Unable to drive the ball into the penalty area, Rivaldo can only keep shooting from a long shot outside the penalty area. His long shot has always been very threatening. In Barcelona, his status almost gives him unlimited fire. So next Barcelona fans saw Barcelona players trying every means to pass the ball to Rivaldo. Then Rivaldo took the ball and kept firing long-range shots outside the penalty area, rumbling, rumbling...
The fight was lively, but the actual effect was not very good.
Nothing is easier to defend than a single offense. Under Jose's command, Mallorca not only tries to cut off the passes from Rivaldo by others as much as possible, when he shoots, one person will definitely interfere with him, and the other person is responsible for filling in the position, so as not to Rivaldo's fake shot and real dunk...
Under Mallorca's targeted and unwavering defense, the rest of the first half passed like this.
