Eight hundred and thirty fourth chapter monk
Relying on Balotelli's outstanding performance after coming on the bench, Mallorca defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home in this King's Cup. Although this is not a safe score, defeating Barcelona and Real Madrid in a row within three days is enough to prove that Mallorca's current state has completely recovered.
At this moment, Jose actually wants not only victory, but a boost in confidence. Real Madrid and Barcelona are definitely Mallorca's biggest competitors this season. However, Mallorca defeated Barcelona, who played with all the main players, and defeated Real Madrid, who played with all the substitutes. The continuous victory has greatly improved the confidence of the entire team, prompting them to quickly show their best form in the next game!
After dormant in the first half of the season, although he was seriously injured in the second half of the season, two consecutive victories have given Mallorca players sufficient preparation to perform extremely well until the end of the season.
After two consecutive home games, Mallorca will usher in three consecutive away games, namely two away league games against Zaragoza and Levante in two weekends, and the mid-week will challenge Real Madrid away in the Copa del Rey. In other words, Mallorca will not return to his home court in the next week, but will be wandering outside for a week - in fact, it can also come back, but when he comes back and stays for a day, he will take off his pants and fart. Fortunately, there are no players in Mallorca who suffer from severe homesickness like Navas, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with...
Because he had to stay outside for a week, Balotelli did not return to the second team this week, but had been training together in the first team. When he was staying outside, Jose arranged for Matthias to live in the same room with him. First, Matias is the captain, and it is normal for the captain to bring new players. Second, Jose thinks Matias should have similar interests with Balotelli...
What surprised Jose was that after living with Matthias for a day, Balotelli seemed to be obedient to Matthias. However, remembering that Balotelli was beaten up by the then Inter Milan locker room leader Matrazi in Inter Milan in history, and then Balotelli was still a precedent for being convinced by Matrazi. Jose thought that Balotelli was born to be convinced by this evil-style locker room leader...
In private, Jose asked Matthias why Balotelli was convinced by him. Matthias laughed arrogantly twice, and then gave an answer that made Jose want to beat him: "I am taller than him, stronger than him, and more handsome than him. Of course he will be convinced by me!"
"mb, I shouldn't have asked you..." Jose said in his heart, then waved his hand to let Mathias go away, but thinking about it, Matrazi seemed to be a guy who was taller than Balotelli, stronger than Balotelli's physique, and more handsome than Balotelli. It seems that it is not their problem, but Balotelli's problem - children always admire those big brothers who are taller and more powerful than themselves!
Since Matias can control Balotelli, Jose is too lazy to care. Although Matias is a bit 2b, it is obviously much more mature in terms of brain development. He is also Mallorca's absolute main force, not much older than Balotelli. If Balotelli convinced him, he would imitate him unconsciously. Balotelli was not affected by Matrazi in Inter Milan in his previous life. The bigger reason is that the two are a teenager apart, and Matrazi also began to fade out of Inter Milan's main lineup at that time.
For the next two opponents, Levante is a little bit better. They are now at the bottom of the points and only scored eight points in the league. They are a team that has been scheduled to be relegated long ago. Zaragoza's performance this season is not bad. They are now ranked tenth and are also a mid-range team. Mallorca will also take some effort to defeat the opponent away.
In this game, Jose sent all the main players - his current strategy is to play the main players in the league and replace the cup. One game a week has no impact on the main players at all. How far can you go in the cup? In addition to luck and performance, Ronaldo and Balotelli will be the two most important players. Their performance determines Mallorca's performance in the Copa del Rey.
On November 13, Mallorca ushered in the 19th round of the league. Zaragoza naturally would not give up easily at home. They only lost one game at home this season, and their scorer Diego Milito has performed well this season. He has scored nine goals so far and is a standard shooter.
In the 24th minute, he received a cross from Sergio Garcia. Milito headed the ball in the penalty area. This was a typical Milito-style goal. He did not compete with Mallorca's two tall defenders in the penalty area, but instead grabbed the first landing point through running position. Then he did not even take off, and directly headed the ball to the goal. The ball topped the goal and Zaragoza led 1-0.
"What a simple shooter... It's a pity that we don't lack such a striker, and his ownership is a little troublesome." Jose sighed on the bench. He had originally had the idea of buying Milito. This is a shooter who is so simple that he makes people think that his goals are lucky. However, although Milito belongs to Zaragoza, his ownership is in the hands of Genoa. However, Genoa has not returned to Serie A yet, so he has never taken him back. If you want to buy him, not only have to deal with Zaragoza, but also with Genoa. For such a troublesome thing, Jose would rather buy other players or train young geniuses.
Although he was behind in the score, Jose was not worried about the team's situation, because Mallorca is in good shape now. No matter how outstanding Milito is, he is just a person - in the entire team's confrontation, his overall strength is still the first.
Obviously, Milito, who was not as good as his height, scored with a header beside him. Both Pepe and Matthias were very unhappy. Just five minutes later, Henry won a corner kick on the side, and Alonso took a corner kick. Under Matthias' cover, Pepe jumped up in the middle and smashed the ball into Zaragoza's goal!
Although it is also a header, Pepe's header is much bigger than Milito's header in terms of viewing and shocking - there is no way, Milito is a striker who can only score in the simplest way. Naturally, in terms of viewing goals, the goal is not comparable to Pepe, who can't score a few goals in a year.
This goal made the fans of Zaragoza look silent. After the momentum of Zaragoza, Mallorca began a more fierce siege and was bound to take the lead again in the score!
Before the end of the first half, Maicon, who had assisted, cut into the penalty area and then rolled the ball and passed the far corner. Klose made a move in the middle, and Henry, who followed the back point, pushed the ball directly into the dead corner of the goal. Mallorca overturned the score!
However, Zaragoza did not want to surrender just like that. Milito was constantly looking for opportunities to score goals, and his teammates kept providing him with firepower. Thirteen minutes after the second half, former Real Madrid defender Diogo passed the ball into the penalty area. Milito relied on his excellent sense of smell and flexible running to sweep away Pepe, then jumped up at the front point and headed the ball again into the near-point blind spot!
"Fuck!"
Pepe cursed angrily and swear words. Milito scored both goals and scored the ball, which made Pepe very depressed. Faced with this shooter who almost never confronted his body, Pepe's energy was useless. It would be as uncomfortable as it would be.
"Calm down, Pepe is just a draw... This guy is indeed different from other forwards, but such a forward is difficult to encounter, and he is in good condition today... Continue to make us defend better, I believe that the guys in front can help us score again!" Mattias patted Pepe's shoulder and said.
Pepe nodded. He could not control his temper at first, but Milito did not use any other method to deal with him, but he just didn't fight him head-on - whoever stipulated that he must fight with the defender head-on? So he had no place to send a message. Now Mattias reminded him, he could only control his temper and then try to deal with him with the means on the football field!
The equalization of the score again made Zaragoza strongly motivated. Milito's two goals made them feel that Mallorca's defense was at this level. However, Milito knew that he wanted to create these two opportunities, how much effort it took to achieve...
Mattias was as stable as a mountain, while Pepe kept running and sweeping. It was not easy for these two central defenders to find a flaw. He has never stopped running until almost the whole game. In addition, the players in the backcourt kept providing him with shells, so he found two opportunities in the game that were not opportunities. Whether he could create such opportunities in the future is really unsure.
However, Mallorca's offense seems to have not been affected at all. If you say that the team in the world that is least affected by the goal loss is probably Mallorca. They rarely have time to lose the ball, and they are not in a hurry to fall behind, let alone just a draw now.
Five minutes after Zaragoza scored, Mallorca scored again!
After receiving Kaka's pass, Rise shot the ball on the left side of the penalty area. The ball hit the opponent's defender and bounced into the penalty area. Klose immediately appeared at the landing point of the ball, and then raised his foot and pulled the ball directly into Zaragoza's goal!
Zaragoza, who was not to be outdone, launched a counterattack, while Pepe gritted his teeth and laughed - this was the opportunity he was waiting for!
Ten minutes later, when Milito received the ball in the penalty area through unremitting running again, before he could spike the ball, Pepe threw himself up, and then flew over and kicked the ball out with big feet. If it weren't for avoiding fast, Pepe would have kicked Milito down...
"This guy really has the characteristics of a Shaolin monk..." Jose off the field was also speechless, but this brave and fast central defender was what the current Mallorca defense line needed...
