Mallorca, who won a complete victory in March, encountered a draw in the first game in April, and was in the crucial Champions League knockout round, and at home!

Why is it said that home court is very important in home and away matches? It is the so-called right time, place, people and everyone are on the home team. They are familiar with the local climate, familiar with the lawns of their home court, and the stands are fans who support them... If you cannot win at home, then you go to an unfamiliar place and unfamiliar stadium, surrounded by fans who support their opponents. If you want to win in such a place, it will be even more difficult!

"Jose's tactical arrangement in March began to show disadvantages...Mallorca won a complete victory in March, which made their state a little overdrawn. When a more important game such as the Champions League knockout came, they dropped the chain at the most critical moment. At such an important moment, they did not win the home game. Perhaps Mallorca's determination to win the triple crown was severely setbacked the second day after April!"

The news that Mallorca was tied 1-1 by Liverpool at home quickly reached everyone's ears. In the four games in the first leg, Mallorca was not the most unlucky strong team - the most unlucky one was Chelsea. They lost to Fenerbahce 1-2 away. Although they still have a great chance to win when they returned to home, can Chelsea, who has lost Mourinho, continue their strong performance in the Champions League?

Barcelona and Manchester United both won away. Barcelona beat Schalke and zero four away, and Manchester United beat Roma 2-0 away, and one foot has entered the quarterfinals. Compared with Manchester United and Barcelona, ​​Mallorca's prospects are not particularly good.

This draw also ignited hope for Real Madrid fans - Mallorca was just tied in the Champions League, and now morale should decline. If we can beat Mallorca away, we can turn the situation around - defeat Mallorca away, and the gap between Mallorca is only five points left. Next, Mallorca will be distracted in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey finals, and Real Madrid is not without a chance!

Jose saw this very clearly, so while preparing for the away game, he was also preparing for the league - he would win the triple crown this season, and the advantage in the league is still so great, even if he didn't beat Real Madrid at home, as long as it was a draw, it would be enough...

So in the 31st round of the league, Mallorca sent a lineup with all defense at home. The trident in the front court became Ronaldo, Silva and Balotelli, and the midfielder was Senna, Martinez and Farinos. The two full-backs were all players who were good at defense. Riser and Ivanovic served as two full-backs, while the central defenders were Matthias and Pepe...

No one expected that Mallorca would only get one point at home, which caught Real Madrid off guard. After all, Mallorca has always shown the characteristics of carrying out the offense to the end, especially at home. When did they shrink? Now they fight for a point in the league, and they lost to Real Madrid in the league before, but this time they willingly just get one point...

Real Madrid, who had never expected this, had a very chaotic attack after the opening, because Schuster set a strategy to first entangle Mallorca in the midfield, and then wait for an opportunity to attack. Who knew that Mallorca would shrink at the beginning of the game!

This chaos allowed Mallorca to score a goal quickly through counterattack in the first half. Balotelli received the ball and got rid of Diarra and then passed it to the left. Silva paddled the ball forward while receiving the ball. Ronaldo, who was inserted at high speed, got rid of Cannavaro who was hurrying back to defense in the sprint, and then received the ball to form a single shot, and directly hit the goal guarded by Casillas!

After taking the lead, Mallorca's defense began to become more ease. They reclaimed their defense and passed it directly to the three forwards in front when they had the chance. This approach made Real Madrid very annoyed. They should attack, but they dare not press too much. After all, the three opponents are all players with excellent speed skills. If they don't attack, they are now behind...

In the end, Real Madrid fought to the death or just scored the score back to the draw in the second half by Van Nicht. In the next time, they did not create any chance at all and could only accept a one-to-one draw. Mallorca continued to lead the league standings with an eight-point advantage. The only difference is that Real Madrid had eight league games before, but now there are only seven games left - even if they win all seven games, Mallorca only needs not to lose two in the next seven games, and winning five games is enough to win the league championship this season...

What Jose hopes most now is that the senior management of Real Madrid is sacked and fired Schuster at this time. In that case, Real Madrid will have no chance to smooth out the eight-point gap in the next game. Mallorca can win the league championship by playing in the league. However, Real Madrid's senior management seems to have learned to be smart this time. They did not fire Schuster midway, but strengthened their hearts to at least let him finish this season...

After a period of chaos, Real Madrid's morale has gradually stabilized. They are likely to win all the way. Mallorca will be distracted in the Champions League in the next game. Real Madrid is not without a chance. They have the advantage of fighting each other. If Mallorca only wins and draws in the next seven rounds of the league, it may be tied by Real Madrid and then surpass them with the help of their win-loss relationship. This is also one of the factors that no one expected that Mallorca would only want to win a draw at home. Jose never thought of winning the championship with the same points!

Regardless of the controversy left after this game, Mallorca's entire team flew to Liverpool collectively after playing against Real Madrid, waiting for the second round of the game.

For Liverpool, their attention is now all in the Champions League. The first leg draws the powerful Mallorca away, which makes them full of great confidence. Even if they cannot defeat Mallorca at home, a zero-to-zero score is enough for Liverpool to advance. Benitez is also a head coach who is very good at coaching defense. It is not a rare thing to say that they can do this. Although the media all believe that Liverpool will still attack at home and will still use offense to create opportunities...

"I don't think he doesn't. Coach Benitez is not like a Spanish coach at all... He never minds getting what he wants with an extremely ugly draw. If Liverpool sets up his position at home and plays against us, they may lose 90%. We are not capable of resisting both our offensive ability and offensive means. We may score higher goals than them. The only thing they can use is an advantage of a draw away... Didn't you notice his expression after the end of that game? I looked for the video and watched it several times. He was very satisfied with the one-to-one score.

Very satisfied, very satisfied, and all the satisfaction is so much that he can't be satisfied anymore... What is he satisfied with? A away goal? Joke, with our offensive power, it is not difficult to score two or three goals away from home. Even if we are two to two at home, it will not be worse than zero to zero. Will a head coach like him be happy for this advantage? There is only one possibility, that is, he has never thought about defeating us, and he only thought about one thing, that is, to eliminate us by scoring away goals, and now he can get a one-to-one draw away, so he absolutely wants to eliminate us through a zero to zero draw! Waiting for an opportunity to attack is his tactic." Jose told Natal.

"No, why do you say that this game was also played at Liverpool's home court... Benitez really can't help but do this?" Natal was a little disbelief.

Jose smiled slightly. It may be hard to believe what he said. However, Jose is sure that Benitez played such a main force - Mallorca's overall strength is now the number one in Europe, and their ability to play tough battles and single-game finals has always been praised. Last season's Champions League final proved that Liverpool was difficult to compete with Mallorca overall. If Benitez wants to advance, it is actually the most feasible way to force a zero-to-zero draw at home.

If you change to other head coaches, you may feel that using this tactic at home is too embarrassing, not to mention Anfield, which has a glorious tradition. However, Liverpool's current head coach is Benitez! Jose knows what kind of head coach this is, and he is also the kind of head coach who can get results without any means. In history, Benitez's Liverpool met Mourinho's Chelsea in the league, which was a collision and loss. However, in the Champions League, Mourinho's Chelsea were both imperative and were close to the Champions League championship twice.

Benitez had no other moves to eliminate him, but he was even more embarrassed than Mourinho. Every time these two teams met in the Champions League, they played extremely ugly and hugged in his half to wait for the opponent to attack. Then Mourinho couldn't stand it. After all, he was more famous than Benitez and had a higher status than Benitez. He could only grit his teeth and direct his players to rush out, and then he was fatal by Liverpool's counterattack... This was the case both times, and he scored no more than two goals in two games. Benitez, who was more patient, laughed to the end.

If such a Benitez is said to have a zero-to-zero score with a dead guard at home, Jose really believes he can do it.

So in the next two days, Jose began to numb Benitez.

"I believe this game will be a lottery match, and Mallorca will laugh to the end." Jose said in an interview that Liverpool's reporters were quite dissatisfied, but they had nothing to refute. After all, Mallorca will not be defeated by the attack now. Even at Anfield... Liverpool is no longer a Red Army Liverpool that swept across Europe, and Anfield's magic is gradually disappearing. Even the most hardcore Liverpool fans are not optimistic about Liverpool defeating Mallorca with attacks at home.

In the team, Jose started closed training, with only one content of the training, that is, how to break the opponent's intensive defense. As long as you can score a goal at the beginning, Benitez's overall plan will be disrupted, and that is when Mallorca brings the entire game back to the right track!
