Two hundred and fortieth chapters Mallorca (for the national football lore
That night, the second semi-final ended, and Getafe's opponent in the final was also announced.
It's not the giant Barcelona, but it's not weak either. It's Mallorca.
If we look at this season alone, Mallorca may be even better than Barcelona.
First of all, their league ranking is higher than Barcelona, they are third in the league and Barcelona is fourth in the league.
Secondly, they faced Barcelona twice in the league and never lost. In the first round, they defeated Barcelona cleanly 2:0 at home. In the second round, they fought Barcelona 1:1 away at Camp Nou.
draw.
Such a performance shows their strength.
So they defeated Barcelona in the semi-finals, which was not an upset.
It is the result of normal strength comparison.
Although Barcelona is a wealthy club, their performance this season is really unflattering.
After the end of last season, Van Gaal resigned in anger. Not only did he leave the team, he also revealed an internal strife scandal within Barcelona at the press conference on his resignation.
He criticized Barcelona's players as having no quality at all and being incapable of achieving good results.
Since then, Barcelona has fallen into a trough and begun to sink.
Chang Sheng also knows this.
Maybe he doesn't know the details of Zaragoza, but he knows Barcelona's trajectory every season. Who makes Barcelona, a giant, more tolerant of attracting attention?
This season Barcelona only finished fourth in the league. Until the last round of the league, they were still struggling for a Champions League spot.
For the giant Barcelona, this is a very rare thing.
Moreover, Barcelona, the second most successful team in the history of Spanish football, has to fight until the bayonet is red for a Champions League spot. This is a failure in itself. But they have to fight. Otherwise, this season will really have nothing.
.
In the final round of the league, Barcelona faced Valencia at home, a direct competitor for next season's Champions League places.
That game may not be regarded as Barcelona's best game in a season, but it is definitely Rivaldo's best game that season, and even the masterpiece of his career. He performed in that game
Hat trick, one person saved Barcelona, free kicks, long shots, overhead kicks, just like a textbook. He showed off all the scoring methods he is best at.
Especially in stoppage time, his wonderful overhead kick on the penalty area line directly sent Barcelona into the Champions League next season. That overhead kick was banned for a long time.
Considered to be a classic among barbs.
However, Waldo's bravery in this game could not completely save the team's fate.
Subsequently, Barcelona's performance still did not improve.
It was not until 2003, when new president Joan Laporta came to power, that Barcelona ushered in a rebirth.
Now... they are still in chaos.
It was no surprise that they were eliminated by Mallorca in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
They had a chance to salvage an almost winless season with a Copa del Rey title.
Now, they have given up this great opportunity to Mallorca...
But is Mallorca really cheaper?
※※※
No one knew that Chang Sheng had gone to see Jonathan on this day off, not even Carlos Mediano Pedrosa, and naturally the players didn't know either.
When the team resumed training the next day, Chang Sheng summoned everyone before training. Not only the players, but also the coaches and team doctors were summoned. Everyone formed a big circle on the lawn of the training ground.
.Always win in the middle.
He had something to say to these people.
He patted his chest in front of Jonathan and promised to win the championship, but actually winning the championship was not as simple as saying a few words.
From now on, he must unify the thinking of the whole team. Whether it is players or staff, everyone must be united, think together, and work hard together. Only in this way can they have the possibility of winning the championship.
So the most important thing before training is this-unify your mind.
Chang Sheng stood in the courtyard. He kept turning around, looking at everyone, and then he said: "There is only one last game left in our great season. Yes, this season is great, amazing, great and amazing.
It’s all us. We emerged from the economic crisis, and when no one was optimistic about it, we qualified for promotion in ten rounds of the league and won the league championship in thirteen rounds. And now we have grown from hundreds of teams.
The team fought through the siege and reached the final of the King's Cup."
"Did any of you think of such a wonderful season before?"
he asked.
No one answered him, because there was no need to answer - indeed no one could have imagined that they would have such a wonderful season.
"But now, this great and wonderful season is not complete because there is still one final. It will only be complete when we take the Copa del Rey back from the Pizjuan Stadium. Our opponents are very strong, Maro
Card is the third runner-up in Serie A this season. They defeated many strong teams including Barcelona. For us, Mallorca is a tall windmill, lying on the road we must pass, overlooking it with disdainful eyes.
Watching us, waiting for us to retreat and return the way we came."
Chang Sheng raised his hand and drew a circle. "Now we do have to turn around and retreat, but not to go back the same way. We want to distance ourselves, and then... charge!"
"Remember what I once said? With four rounds left in the league, we launched a charge that others thought was impossible to win. But we won. The windmill that looked very powerful was just that,
We won. So in the final of the King's Cup, another powerful-looking windmill appeared in front of us. Then keep charging! Maybe the seemingly powerful windmill will be overwhelmed by us again this time? Many people think
If we are going to beat Mallorca, it will be a miracle. Then we will perform a miracle and show them!"
Carlos Campo shouted: "But I haven't heard anyone say that, boss..."
Chang Sheng waited angrily for this kid who jumped out to cause trouble: "It will be there soon! Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, when you finish training. When you go home and turn on the TV, you will be able to see remarks like this.
!”
He said it for sure.
Because he knows what the media thinks.
Just because Getafe can beat Zaragoza does not mean that they can beat Mallorca.
"I bet that the whole world will not think highly of us, no matter how many incredible results we have created before and how many powerful opponents we have defeated. Before this game, we were not convinced. Because this is the final of the King's Cup, Marlowe There is no such thing as being arrogant and underestimating the enemy. In this case, how can we defeat an opponent whose absolute strength is much stronger than ours? So it is normal for them not to be optimistic about us."
"But we just want to defeat such a powerful enemy. The reason is simple - we have reached the fucking finals, gone through all kinds of hardships, and defeated so many opponents. Is it just to come to the finals and win runner-up? No, If you can win the championship, no one likes the runner-up. I don’t like the runner-up. I even hate the runner-up. If I must fail, I would rather fail at the beginning than lose before the finish line! So in this game, no matter how big the opponent is, We are strong and we must win. Everyone can only think about the championship!"
"Think carefully about what I said. Then train!"
To win this game, of course it's not as simple as saying a few nice words like just now.
There must also be sufficiently detailed and targeted preparations, which is training.
But before training, as the head coach, he must know in which direction he should train hard.
Study your opponent.
※※※
To study your opponent, you must first study the opponent's head coach, because a team's tactical style, playing characteristics, and team personality will be deeply affected by the head coach, and will obviously bear the imprint of a head coach. .
So if you know the head coach of a team, you also know the team.
Mallorca's head coach is José Luis Aragonés Suárez (josé_luis_aragonés_suárez).
This name is very long, so people generally call him "Luis Aragones".
Chang Sheng is definitely no stranger to this name.
Of course, people today are familiar with this name.
In the previous life, Chang Sheng knew more about Aragones from the 2008 European Cup.
In that competition, coach Aragones led the Spanish national team all the way through, and finally won the Delaunay Cup, achieving their second European Cup championship in history.
But in fact, before he became the Spanish champion coach, he was already famous in Spain, otherwise the Spanish Football Association would not have chosen him to take over Ses and be the national team coach.
It's easy to get to know the King of Aragones when you're in Spain.
In his playing days, Aragones was a famous player at Atletico Madrid.
But he started from Getafe. The Getafe of the 195758 season and the current Getafe are not the same Getafe. The current Getafe is the merger of many teams in the past.
It can also be said that Aragones has nothing to do with Getafe today.
He stayed in Getafe for one year before being signed by Real Madrid. However, he was not able to enter Real Madrid's first team until he left, and was constantly loaned out.
Later he moved to Oviedo, where he played in the First Division for the first time.
One season later, he moved to Real Betis with four goals in thirteen games. From 196164, he played 86 times in three seasons and scored 33 goals.
His performance got better and better, and he was spotted by Atletico Madrid.
He played for Atletico Madrid for ten years, making 372 appearances and scoring 172 goals, including 265 league appearances and scoring 123 goals.
As a player, he won three league titles and a Copa del Rey for Atletico Madrid.
He also almost helped Atletico Madrid win the first Champions League trophy in the club's history. In the 1974 Champions League final, Atletico Madrid faced Bayern Munich at the Heysel Stadium in Belgium. He scored the team with a free kick in the final.
But one minute later, Bayern Munich equalized the score and the game was dragged into overtime. In overtime, Bayern Munich scored four goals and defeated Atletico Madrid with a total score of 5:1.
Atletico Madrid just missed out on their Champions League honors.
Then he announced his retirement and immediately became the head coach of Atletico Madrid. He was only 35 years old at the time.
As a coach, his coaching performance is also good, especially in the early stage.
He just took over Atletico Madrid and led the team to win the Intercontinental Cup, and then won the La Liga championship for Atletico Madrid in the 1976-77 season. At that time, Atletico Madrid had only won eight La Liga titles in total. Aragones was a player and a coach.
, only four for Atletico Madrid, accounting for half of the team's total championships. It can be said that Atletico Madrid can become the third largest team in Spain, and Aragones' contribution is very great.
So until now, Atletico Madrid fans like him very much, and he himself has always regarded Atletico Madrid as his favorite team.
There is one thing that may prove this.
In the next season, Aragones will leave Mallorca, where he has excellent coaching results, and switch to Atletico Madrid, which is struggling in the second division. Then it will take him one season to turn Atletico Madrid from
Pulled out of the quagmire of the Second Division.
So there can be no doubt about his feelings for Atletico Madrid.
As the head coach, he coached Atletico Madrid four times. He brought Atletico Madrid a Serie A championship, three Copa del Rey championships, an Intercontinental Cup, a Spanish Super Cup, and an Iberian Cup (Spain and Portugal).
competition for the most representative teams of the year), and there is also a second division champion that has not yet been born.
Later, he coached many Spanish clubs, including Real Betis, Barcelona, Espanyol, Sevilla, Valencia, Real Oviedo, Mallorca...
He currently coaches at Mallorca.
This season, under his leadership, Mallorca finally ranked third in the league, beating Barcelona.
However, after he left Atletico Madrid, generally speaking, he had no outstanding results in other teams.
That’s just one Copa del Rey title in Barcelona.
In terms of personal honors, in the season when he led Atletico Madrid to win the league championship, he won the Don Balon Best Coach Award of the season presented by Don Balon of Spain.
※※※
Aragones has coached many teams, and his style is a bit hodgepodge. Although his tactics in the Spanish national team will be impressive in the future, he has not yet reached the point of being a master at this time.
He is better at watching the market fall and formulating his own tactics based on different players.
It is not set in stone, sticking to one tactic and not knowing how to adapt it.
This earned him the nickname: "The Wise Man of Ordaleza".
Mallorca's tactics this season are somewhat similar to their winning tactics in Getafe.
It is a defensive counterattack. The backcourt is strictly defensive, and the frontcourt offense relies on the cooperation of a few people to quickly counterattack.
Defensive counterattacks are not uncommon in Spanish football, but they are not mainstream. However, there are still very few counterattacks that are as ugly as Chang Sheng and are extremely stubborn. Getafe's original defensive counterattacks only focused on the results and did not look at the process at all.
Even if you win, you will feel like "this guy got lucky again".
In terms of defense, Aragones is not as thorough as the winning team, and in terms of offense, it is not as imaginative as Getafe, which is always winning.
He relies more on Eto'o's sprint and Luque's support.
Since Mallorca is a defensive counterattack, and the specific tactics are somewhat similar to Getafe's defensive counterattack, what will be the result if you insist on using defensive counterattack?
Chang Sheng simulates the game between the two sides in his mind.
Then he found that the game would be ugly. Because both sides were defensive and counterattacked, no one was willing to take the initiative to attack. There was really no highlight in this scene.
At the same time, because everyone is defensive and counterattacking, they will be very familiar with each other.
Basically there is nothing new, it is just a competition between the two teams in terms of their strength in each position to see who is stronger and performs better.
Of course, you need to be more patient and shameless.
In terms of patience and shamelessness, Chang Sheng thinks he should be far better than Aragones. But in terms of hard power, his Getafe may not be able to compare with Mallorca.
A very simple comparison, can his Getafe finish third in La Liga this season? He thinks it will be difficult.
But Aragones' Mallorca did it. And Mallorca's performance in the first half of the season was also very average. They were working hard from the back.
In the end, they were eight points ahead of fourth-placed Barcelona and secured third place in the league.
So if everyone uses defensive counterattack, Chang Sheng feels that the winning rate is very low.
He knows Mallorca's tactics, and Aragones must also know his own tactics. He is very, very clear. Maybe at this time, he has broken down his tactics and analyzed them.
It would be difficult for him to show off his defensive counterattack in front of the "Wise Man of Odaleza".
Only by surprise can we have a chance of survival.
But how can we come up with new and surprising tactics that are targeted and at the same time?
This has to start with analyzing the opposing team.
※※※
After analyzing the opponent's head coach, let's analyze the team.
Mallorca's performance this season is very good, especially in the second half.
This has a lot to do with their players.
Because Aragones is a head coach who is very good at using existing players to make tactical arrangements.
Look at these players from Mallorca right now.
The striker is the speedy Samuel Eto'o, who Mallorca bought out half of the ownership from Real Madrid this season. Mallorca shares it with Real Madrid.
Eto'o has excellent speed, which is his biggest characteristic. He fully reflects this in the defensive counterattack tactics tailored for him by Aragones.
Eto'o's partner is Luke.
This player, like Luis Garcia, also came out of Barcelona's La Masia youth training camp, but he waited until he was twenty years old and did not get the opportunity given by Barcelona. He had to leave and come to Mallorca.
He was loaned to Malaga in Mallorca, where he had 23 opportunities to play and scored three goals. After his outstanding performance, Mallorca gave him a chance to play in the first team this season.
Replaces Diego Tristan (diego_tristan) who moved to Deportivo La Coruna this season.
This season he is the team's main forward and has scored nine goals. He is the team's second-leading scorer, second only to Eto'o who has scored 11 goals.
In the midfield, Argentinian Ibagaza serves as the attacking midfielder and is responsible for organizing the offense. Although he is not well-known in international football, in Spain, he is definitely a first-class player. At only 23 years old, he is a member of the Atletico Madrid team.
Lorca's absolute main force.
After Yugoslavia international Jovan Stankovic was loaned to Marseille, he took the lead in the offensive organization of Mallorca's midfield. He made 34 appearances in the league this season and scored ten goals.
, the performance is eye-catching.
Finidi George (finidi_gecome), the Nigerian international and one of the founders of the Ajax dynasty, currently plays on the right side of the midfielder in Mallorca. He has played 31 times in the league and scored five goals.
On the left is Alvaro Novo (alvaro_novo), who was in the Mallorca B team last season. This season he was promoted to the first team and took the main position. He scored three goals in thirty-four league games.
Plus a defensive midfielder Vincente_engonga. He is of Equatorial Guinean descent and has good physical fitness and strong offensive power. He is the first black international player in the history of the Spanish national team and participated in the 2000 European Championship.
.Played 31 times this season and scored an unprecedented two goals. He had never scored a goal for Mallorca before...
There are a lot of veterans on the defense line, only center back Fernando Nino is younger, 26 years old.
The person who partners with him is famous, the Spanish national team's central defender Miguel_angel_nadal. He became famous in Mallorca, and then moved to Barcelona and became Barcelona's main central defender. Now he is 34 years old, and at the beginning of his career
At the end of his career, he returned to his hometown team where he debuted and planned to retire here.
He has a nephew who will be very famous in the future, even more famous than him - Rafael Nadal, the greatest Spanish tennis player.
My uncle is a Barcelona center back and my nephew is a die-hard Real Madrid fan.
Right back, 30-year-old Javier_olaizola, has played for Mallorca for six seasons and has always been Mallorca's main right back.
The left back is 36-year-old Miquel Soler (miquel_soler). Although he is old, he is indeed the main left back of Mallorca. He is very experienced and has a record of eight national team games. He once played in
He has played for Barcelona for many years and is the main player. At the same time, he is also the only player in Spanish history who has played for both Madrid (Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid) and Barcelona (Barcelona and Espanyol).
In the goalkeeper lineup, Mallorca prefers the Argentinian.
All three of their goalkeepers are Argentinian!
The main goalkeeper is the young Leo Franco (leo_franco). After the previous main goalkeeper Roja ran back to Argentina to avoid the end of the world due to religious issues, he quickly became the main goalkeeper of Mallorca. And he is only 23 years old now.
age.
Both substitute goalkeepers are Argentina's national goalkeepers. Roa was the main goalkeeper of the Argentine national team in the 1998 World Cup. He became famous because he successfully stopped England in the penalty shootout.
Many people thought that his career would be smooth in the future, but they never thought that because of religious reasons, Roa gave up football midway. Roa is a believer of "Seventh Day Christ". According to the doctrine, Roa can only play in the sun every Saturday.
He could only participate in training and games after sunset, and many La Liga games were on Saturdays, which caused him a lot of trouble. In addition, he also believed in the end of the world. In order to avoid the doomsday, he announced his retirement at the peak of his career.
, returned to Argentina and spent the end of the world in the deep mountains and forests. However, the end of the world did not come, but he always had to survive. So he returned to Mallorca.
Originally he was still the main player this season. However, due to injury, he did not play a few games and Franco became the main player again.
Another substitute goalkeeper, german_burgos, is also the Argentinian national goalkeeper, but he is a substitute. The long-haired Bergos has been complained more than once that his goalkeeping ability is not as good as his ability to sing rock music. Marca Radio had a special topic, La Liga
Only three of the twenty coaches are willing to use Boggs. The reason is simple. The Argentine may be more suitable for singing rock music than guarding goalkeepers.
Later, he became the main goalkeeper of the Argentine national team. In the qualifiers of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, he was deeply trusted by Bielsa. But strangely, in the final World Cup in Japan and South Korea, the main goalkeeper of the Argentine national team became Kabbah.
Lello.
Such a team is Mallorca's basic main lineup.
There are also some good substitute players.
For example, Francisco Soler (francisco_soler) in the defensive midfield position is a veteran of Mallorca. He has been playing for Mallorca since his debut. It is now his eleventh year in the first team.
.Has played 22 times this season and is an excellent substitute for Ngonga.
There is also Spanish international Armando at the right back position, who is also an excellent substitute.
In addition, in the central defender position, Gustavo Lionel Siviero (gustavo_lionel_siviero) has always been the main central defender. When Mallorca won the runner-up in the Cup Winners' Cup, he was the main player. But this
During the season, his form declined due to injuries and other reasons, and he became a substitute. However, he has rich experience and still has strength.
Such a team has excellent players, an experienced head coach, and a tradition of defensive counterattacks - they almost dethroned Lazio in the Cup Winners' Cup final, relying on defensive counterattacks.
It can be said that it is a very difficult opponent to deal with.
But Chang Sheng must win, because he said that he must show a miracle.
How to win?
After understanding Mallorca's tactics and team situation, Chang Sheng became more determined not to use defensive counterattacks to deal with this team.
If you don’t use your best defense and counterattack, then what should you use?
※※※
ps, the 3480 monthly ticket bonus has been sent. I just watched the national team’s game and beat Iraq at the last moment!
When the corner kick was taken, I was still thinking, "The Chinese team needs a hero, who can step forward?", and then it was a winning goal!
The win was not beautiful, not exciting, not convincing...but none of these are important. What is important is that we won. Look at the painful and desperate expressions of the Iraqi players when they lost the ball. This is the difference between victory and defeat.
To be a winner, never be a loser!
This game still exposed many problems of the Chinese team, but those are issues that the Chinese team's coaching staff should consider.
As for us ordinary fans, there is no need to act serious and just enjoy the victory in this game.
For this ultimate killer, more updates will be added!..)
