"Mallorca, the only seedling in La Liga!"

After the Champions League match on March 10, Spanish media were shocked to find that the La Liga team's advantage in the Champions League was lost. After Barcelona was eliminated by Chelsea, Real Madrid also lost to Juventus in 90 minutes away. The game entered overtime. In overtime, Ronaldo and Pesotto had a dispute in the midst of entanglement. Both were sent off by red cards. When the overtime entered the last five minutes, forward Uruguayan Salayeta scored a crucial goal, Juventus defeated Real Madrid and entered the quarterfinals!

Valencia was eliminated in the group stage, and Barcelona and Real Madrid were both eliminated in the quarterfinals - now the La Liga team is the only one left in the Champions League. It is really surprising that Mallorca's performance in the Champions League in the past four years is indeed amazing. Not to mention that he won the Champions League twice in a row, he also reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League one before. In addition to entering the quarterfinals this time, few teams can match this achievement.

Now the media didn't say it, but they were wondering whether Mallorca would become the fourth team to complete three consecutive championships in the Champions League? Only three teams have achieved such results in the past 50 years. Real Madrid, with five consecutive championships, Ajax led by Cruyff and Bayern Munich led by Beckenbauer, is also because of such honors that Cruyff and Beckenbauer also won the nickname of the King of Balls, and are at the same level as the two generations of Balls Kings.

Mallorca's performance seems to prove the trend of the development of world football - Ajax and Bayern had an unquestionable leader before, but Mallorca did not have such a leader. They play the whole, and everyone is very important but not indispensable. To be forced to say, the only indispensable one is the head coach Jose, which is also the trend of football development - the overall strength is more higher than the individual's strength, and the importance of coaching will become more and more obvious.

The La Liga teams have not had a particularly good prospect in the League Cup. Now there are three teams left in the quarterfinals - Villarreal, Zaragoza, and Sevilla. All three teams have encountered a draw, and I don’t know what the next game will be...

Not beyond Jose's expectations, Mallorca's players and coaches went to a club for a party that night - in fact, nothing was done. Mallorca took the club down and refused to enter. The players basically brought their girlfriends, and most of the bachelors didn't know where to find girls. Honest people like Kaka kept sitting with Jose and chatting, and didn't drink or anything else. But in this way, when Matias walked out of the club drunkenly hugged Elsa's waist, he was also taken by reporters who were ambushing outside, but no one else could avoid it. Even if Jose walked out of the club alone, he was photographed by someone. He went to the newspaper the next day, and the title was very shocking - "The head coach of Mallorca took the lead in the carnival, and the night after winning the game".

"How do you say I should punish you? Damian?" Jose said with a smile to Matthias, who was still a little hangover.

"You spare me, boss." Matthias begged for mercy.

"The next round of Santander Athletics..." Jose said in a long voice.

"You can deduct my salary if you lose a ball." Matthias said with his chest, and then he regretted it after walking out of Jose's office. There are really few people who don't lose balls, especially in the next game, the away game...

Jose smiled at Matthias's back. He had never thought of deducting Matthias' salary. However, the current situation is not particularly beneficial to Mallorca. They are still three points behind Barcelona in the league. Barcelona, ​​which has been eliminated in the Cup and the Champions League, can now focus all their energy in the league, and Mallorca is still distracted by the Champions League and the Cup. Of course, Jose does not intend to consume too much physical fitness from the main players. Even if he has entered the semi-finals, he is only ready to send all substitutes to play the Cup of Kings League. In any case, Mallorca is not qualified to lose points in the league now. Giving Matthias a warning to make him remember that strengthening the defense is a good way.

Matthias, who was a little petty, felt very distressed for the salary that might be deducted, so he always seemed very serious in the next two days of training, which also led the defenders to pay more attention to defense - this effect was good. In the league three days later, Mallorca performed extremely well on the away game. Matthias was invincible in defense, headed the ball and cleared ten times, and successfully intercepted six times heading. Most of the Santander Athletics attacks were resolved by him.

With the stable defense, Mallorca's offense has never had any problems, and this time is no exception. Torres scored his eighteenth league goal of the season, and Klose and Ram also scored one goal each. Mallorca beat Athletic Santander 3-0 away. The only bad news is that Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at home and continued to beat Mallorca with a three-point advantage, ranking first. After being eliminated by Chelsea, Barcelona quickly returned to form.

After a week of rest, Mallorca welcomed Sevilla at home. In this case, the disadvantages of Mallorca's players' physical fitness began to decline were revealed. They were tied 1-1 by Sevilla at home, while Barcelona relied on Etoo's gold goal, Clarkorínia, and expanded the advantage of leading Mallorca to five points!

"Mallorca will be difficult to deal with next. Barcelona, ​​which is full of effort to attack in the league, is terrible. If you continue to be distracted in the cup, Mallorca's prospects in the league are very bad..." Some media expressed pessimism about Mallorca's premise.

Next, Mallorca will not only fight against the sky, people, schedule, Barcelona... but also fight with the national team. After this round, Mallorca ushered in a FIFA match day and continued to provide a large number of talents for the national team...

There are two games on this FIFA match day. Mallorca will not usher in the 30th round of the league until April 4th. After that, the Champions League and the King's Cup will also start again. They will play seven games throughout April, including four league games, two Champions League matches against Juventus, and the first game of the King's Cup semi-finals, as well as the first game of the Champions League semi-finals that may appear...

The four teams in the Champions League half of Mallorca are Mallorca, Juventus, Bayern and Chelsea. Mallorca first plays Juventus at home, and then goes to the away challenge. The focus of the other half of the area is the Milan derby, and the match between Lyon and Eindhoven is more inconspicuous.

"After playing against Juventus, it's probably against Chelsea. UEFA really has the will to destroy me..." Jose thought to himself.

Five points behind in the league, the Champions League was divided into a half-zone of the death group. Although Mallorca still has the chance to win the triple crown, the situation is quite bad.

However, sometimes, the bad situation does not mean that you will lose. Jose has great confidence in the tenacity of his team and also has great confidence in the thickness of the team's bench.

More than a week later, the internationals returned to the team with a tired look, while Jose made an amazing move. He will participate in all two matches of the national team's six main players - Matthias, Ram, Alonso, Kaka, Torres, and Klose, all stayed in Mallorca for rest, and flew to Madrid with eighteen other players to prepare for the match against Atletico Madrid.

"Our goal is still the Triple Crown champion, so I won't lose too much for a game." Jose explained to the media this way.

His approach aroused the anger of Atletico Madrid - you should know that although their performance this year is not very good, their performance has been greatly improved and down after head coach Aragones went to the Spanish national team, they are still ranked eighth and higher than La Coruna!

But soon Mallorca let them know why Jose has such confidence.

Cameni, Romero, Mex, Nadal, Mecon, Cena, Farinos, Iniesta, Puerta, van Perssi, and Gu Isa, relying on such a starting lineup, Jose led Mallorca to beat Atletico Madrid four-two away. Van Persia scored two goals alone, Gu Isa also scored one goal, Mex pushed Iniesta's corner kick to the goal, Mallorca withstood the pressure brought by the fifa virus and won an extremely critical victory in the league!

The key is that in another game, Barcelona, ​​who was also implicated in the national team game, but still sent all the main players, did not win. They were scored by Joaquin in the game against Real Betis, and Etoo quickly tied. However, Real Betis, who performed well, then relied on Oliveira's goal and Joaquin's double score to lead Barcelona 3-1. At this time, Barcelona began to explode. First, Etoo scored twice and recovered one point. Before the end of the game, Ronaldo's beautiful assist Van Bronxter equalized the score, and Barcelona survived!

Although he survived, Mallorca used his bold behavior in this round to narrow the disadvantage of falling behind to three-pointers. In the next round, Barcelona will challenge Real Madrid away, while Mallorca will face Zaragoza at home, which is also a good opportunity to chase points!

"We are in a strong competitive league, and no advantage is enough to be the advantage of the final decision. In addition to Mallorca and Barcelona, ​​there are many excellent teams in this league - Real Madrid, Valencia, La Coruna, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal... No team can win continuously under the siege of so many top teams. We lost a lot of points before, but now it may be Barcelona's turn to lose it. La Liga is the most powerful La Liga, and even compared with the previous World Cup, it is not inferior. I'm glad we can compete in such a league. I'm very interested in seeing what kind of results we can achieve in such a cruel environment!"

Jose smiled and said in an interview after the game that although for Mallorca, they will inevitably be affected by the Champions League mission, for Barcelona, ​​their next game is completely unpleasant - Real Madrid, Valencia, Villarreal... They have three teams that have performed well this season to deal with, and after Mallorca passed Atletico Madrid, the only teams that are difficult to deal with are Valencia and Betis.
