Chapter eight hundred and eighty nine poor Vertonghen

Updated: 2013-02-19

On March 23, in the 28th round of La Liga, Mallorca played Atletico Madrid at home and Barcelona played against Malaga at home.

Facing Atletico Madrid, which is still ranked well this season, Mallorca defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 cleanly at home. Although Torres did not play against his old club, Mallorca still won. Henry, who had been injured for a while, scored twice after his comeback and helped Mallorca defeat Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona was demonstrating to Mallorca. They scored six goals from Malaga at home, and beat Jose to Juan's team to amazement. After the game, Juan called Jose and cried: "We were really shot while lying down! I guess they thought we would help you stop them, and then they beat us 6 to 0. We are so unfair!"

Jose comforted Juan, perhaps because Tristan helped La Coruña block Real Madrid last season, everyone knows that Malaga and Mallorca have a good relationship. The actual controllers of the two clubs have always had a good relationship, and Mallorca also sold and loaned many players to Malaga. Malaga's current three main players, Gu Isa, Negredo and Pedro Leon, are all from Mallorca. Among them, Negredo and Pedro Leon are still in the hands of Mallorca. It is inevitable that Barcelona will think that Malaga, who is ranked in the middle of this season, will try to help Mallorca block Barcelona as much as possible - so they almost used the strength to play in the Champions League final to play in this league. Malaga's strength is worse than Barcelona, ​​and once the opponent is serious, he lost by zero to six...

It's so miserable, it's so miserable.

However, I have to admire Guardiola. When Mallorca was chased to the point where he didn't know how to boost the morale of the team. They have won consecutive victories now, pressing Mallorca tightly. Moreover, when Mallorca usually wins one goal and two goals, they all win a lot, and they have to pull back their momentum.

After this round of league, there will be a FIFA match day, and then April, with the most intense schedule, will be the last accumulation of energy for the two teams before the final battle.

In April, both teams will play five league games, two Champions League games and one possible Champions League semi-final, and eight games a day, which is a huge pressure on everyone.

Mallorca and Barcelona are both big international players, and the impact they have been affected in this regard is the same. In this almost completely fair competition, it will determine who is the top team.

If April cannot be decided, then May will be the final battle!

This critical confrontation will have the final result in the remaining two months!

In the middle of this national team competition, all the opportunities were ignored by everyone else.

On April 5, in the 29th round of La Liga, Mallorca challenged Athletic Bilbao away, and Barcelona challenged Valladolid away.

This round of league held after the national team game is also a challenge for both sides. Most of the main players seem exhausted due to their previous exhaustion. If the main players are forced to play, even if they win, they will be in a relatively unfavorable position in the face of the upcoming Champions League knockout stage. If the substitutes come on the bench and cannot win, they will be at a disadvantage at the beginning of the confrontation...

Jose and Guardiola both chose to believe in the substitute.

The first game was Barcelona. They defeated Valladolid away with a gold goal from substitute Boyan, temporarily expanding the lead to four points, throwing all the pressure on Mallorca.

"Now Barcelona is becoming more and more like Mallorca in the previous two years, and their main players can win big when they play, adjust the main lineup to make up for the substitutes when they play. Xavi is becoming more and more like a brain, and has begun to make up for the losses after Deco left. Etoo has been able to score many goals as always, and Messi has become one of the best teams in the world. Can Mallorca continue to persevere in the face of Barcelona's challenge?"

The pro-Barcelona media began to put pressure on Mallorca in this way. If Mallorca cannot win this round of league, then they will be at least tied to three points by Barcelona!

Jose also sent all the substitutes in his hands, saying they were substitutes, but the existence of Klose, Henry, Balotelli, Lisse and others also made the team very strong. Their opponent Athletic Bilbao is no longer at risk of relegation, and the ranking is also in the middle level. It will not be too difficult to win against opponents who do not have much fighting spirit.

However, this is not the case. As a strong La Liga team that has never been relegated, Athletic Bilbao has not achieved great results in the past ten years, but still has a deep foundation. This foundation destined that they will perform well even without much pursuit, let alone that they still have the opportunity to compete in the League Cup...

Just three minutes into the game, Mendeta assisted Yester to break into the penalty area. Vertonheng, who was in a hurry to make up, stumbled Yester. The referee decisively awarded a penalty. Mendeta calmly took the penalty and scored the first record for Athletic Bilbao, who played at home!

The whole stadium immediately fell into a state of madness. The young Vertonghen held his head. He didn't make a foul just now. After all, Yester's chance was not particularly good. However, now, he gave the opponent a penalty kick and asked the opponent to take the penalty. At such a critical moment, if he failed to defeat his opponent away, it would be an unforgivable move!

This made the young Belgian defender very frustrated. In the following time, Athletic Bilbao was not conservative, but continued to launch fierce attacks again and again, using continuous back and forth to make the Mallorca players a little tired of running.

Although this substitute lineup is not bad, they are somewhat lacking in experience, especially in terms of central axis. Klose Silva in the frontcourt is both experienced players, and Balotelli is also a monster who doesn't know what the tension is. However, in the midfield, besides an experienced Farinos, Martinez is still young. De Jong cannot contribute much except defense, and both central defenders are also new players. Under the opposing side, they will inevitably lose their positions...

Mallorca resisted the entire first half, but still couldn't resist it - in the 40th minute, Mundeta passed the penalty area directly to the right of the middle. Lorente ran away from Thiago Silva's defense, and then still grabbed the first landing point under the confrontation of Vertonheng, headed the ball to the dead corner of the goal, Pinto failed to save it, 2-0! Bilbao led Mallorca two goals at home!

Bilbao fans are going crazy. Mallorca has never lost in the Champions League and the league since the beginning of this season. In the Champions League, they won six consecutive games in the group stage, and in the league, they are unbeaten until now. They have only lost two games since the beginning of the season, one is the Spanish Super Cup away against Valencia, and the other is the Spanish King's Cup away against Real Madrid away. And even if they lose, they have never been behind two goals!

Whether it is Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​or the powerful players in the European arena, what has not been done has made Athletic Bilbao, which is now ranked in the middle, do it! This is enough to make Athletic Bilbao, which has been sluggish for a long time, regain its reputation!

Vertonheng was almost collapsed. The first penalty was a foul, and the second time he lost the ball, the opponent's center pushed the top of his head. The poor Belgian felt that he was the culprit for the team to fall behind by two goals...

He was frustrated until the center back partner Thiago Silva pulled him, and then he realized that the first half had ended and he should enter the halftime break now - this is also what he feared the most, because during the halftime break, he would definitely be severely criticized if he made a mistake. The giants could not get sand in the eyes of the big club. Such a bad performance may make him lose hope and trust in Mallorca's future...

It is also the thing that Vertonheng fears the most. Being able to join Mallorca is an excellent opportunity for Vertonheng. Being able to play under the guidance of famous coach Jose is enough to prove that he has good potential and is likely to become famous in the future. However, he also knows that not everyone will train Mallorca, which is valued by head coach Jose. The players who are focused on training are extremely successful, but there are also players who are not very capable, and they are just ordinary performance in Mallorca - for example, Campano, who has played substitutes for many years in Mallorca, such as Guísa, Negredo and Pedro Leon, who have not received many opportunities in Mallorca's first team... After all, Mallorca is different now than before. They are a giant family. Even if they still have the tradition of cultivating outstanding young players, they will only train those top players and become top players...

Even if I transfer to Mallorca at a price of 10 million euros, it may not prove that in Jose's eyes, he can train a talented player at the top level.

Now that this is the case in such a critical game, Vertonghen seems to have seen himself in the future, and then live a few years of mediocre life and then transfer to other teams...

The Belgian was so scared that he felt a little scared when he entered the locker room. In the end, although he still walked into the locker room, he hurried in the corner and didn't dare to look up at the other people in the locker room.

Originally, Jose was not really annoyed. He had to bear the price of their mistakes with young players. Strictly speaking, the two goals were conceded, except for the first Vertonheng who was a little reckless, he did not make much mistakes in the second goal. He made up for Thiago Silva, and also made up for the position, jumped up and competed for the top. In the end, because of the subtle disadvantage in height - his height was 1.9 meters, and Llorente's height reached 1.9 meters - because of this disadvantage, Llorente's first head shot was not a mistake.

But when he saw Vertonheng's look timid, he was a little annoyed - where is the central defender? That is the position that requires the most courage and fighting spirit! Except for a few central defenders who are famous for their elegance, such as Baresci, which other central defenders do not need to fight with the opponent's defenders, and use courage and fighting spirit to block the opponent's attack? Take the top Italian defenders for example, Nesta is elegant, but he can also fight with the hands and hands. Cannavaro is only over 1.7 meters tall, but he is known for his courage. Matrazi is synonymous with tough guys and evil guys. A central defender does not have the courage and is easily frustrated. Even if his physical fitness is excellent, he will end up like Sendros.

The central defender can be defeated, but cannot be defeated.

Just as he was about to teach Vertonheng a lesson, Matthias, who was the substitute in this game, secretly pulled him and waved to Vertonheng: "Jane, go, let's go out and talk!"
