ps, sorry, sorry, yesterday, oh no, I revised the draft until after two o'clock this morning. I was so dizzy that I went to bed and forgot to set automatic updates...
Hey, my brain is becoming less and less used these days...
As expected, I can’t stand it anymore...

Before the game, many people got Getafe's list for this game. Charles Tias, Getafe's top scorer this season and the top scorer in La Liga, did not appear on the list.
Instead, Popovich.
However, this did not attract widespread attention.
Even Mallorca's head coach Aragones didn't take it to heart.
Because more than half a week ago, Chang Sheng informed all the media through the team's weekly press conference that the main center Charisteas was injured and it was not yet known whether he could participate in the King's Cup final.
At that time, many Getafe fans were still praying for Charles Thias.
And many in the media are gloating about the misfortune.
Charisteas is Getafe's top scorer this season. He has scored a total of 29 goals in the league and three goals in the Copa del Rey.
He has always been the most important point in Getafe's defensive counterattack tactics. With him, Getafe's defensive counterattack has a direction and a fulcrum.
If he cannot play in the game, Getafe's strength will definitely be greatly affected.
This has also become a reason why the media are not optimistic about Getafe winning.
In fact, where did Charisteas get injured? This is simply a lie.
Chang Sheng colluded with the whole team to deceive the outside world.
What's the point of telling a lie in order to win?
Chang Sheng has no psychological burden at all.
※※※
When the game started, neither the commentators nor the reporters in the media box, nor the fans who knew the game, nor even Mallorca's coaches felt anything was wrong.
Mista moved to the center, Popovich became the winger, and Charisteas sat on the bench. Obviously he was unable to play due to injury, but Chang Sheng was unwilling to keep him in Getafe, so
Just bring it. Maybe you are still imagining that a miracle will happen and Charisteas can appear.
Unfortunately, Charles Tias was still sitting on the bench until the start of the game.
It seems that Charles Steas was left out in this game. Chang Sheng put him on the bench, probably just to embolden himself.
Getafe is still 433, with no changes from the backcourt to the midfield. Goalkeeper Pablo, center back captain Pedro Canizares and Jose Passarella partner, left back Balzaretti
, right back Rondo, midfielder with three midfielders, Senna in the middle, Carlos Campo on the left, and Yaya Toure a little on the right. There are changes in the front line, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Mallorca took advantage of the kick-off opportunity and launched a wave of offensive from the beginning of the game.
Defensive counterattack does not mean not attacking at all. If there is a chance, you still have to attack. Since they have a chance to kick off, do they just kick forward and then withdraw? There is no such a stupid team.
For teams that defend and counterattack, the opening is more important. On the one hand, they cannot lose the ball. If they lose the ball, they will not be able to play defensively on counterattack. On the other hand, they must strive to score first and have a one-goal lead.
, their defensive counterattack is useful...
Therefore, it is not surprising that Mallorca launched a fierce offensive at the beginning of the game.
In fact, even if Mallorca does not play defensive counterattack, their frontcourt offensive combination is still very strong.
Luke, like Luis Garcia, is a player in the Barcelona youth academy. He is a loyal Barcelona fan. However, there is no place for him in the Barcelona team. Barcelona's then coach Louis van Gaal thought he was not good enough.
Abandoned him. He had to transfer to Mallorca. Later he was loaned to Malaga. Due to his outstanding performance in Malaga and his emergence, he played 758 minutes and scored three goals. Although
He didn't score many goals and didn't play much playing time, but he was competing with famous players at the time. Catania, who scored 24 goals that season, and Rufete, who later moved to Valencia, all
is his competitor.
In addition, in the summer of 2000, he also won an Olympic silver medal on behalf of the Spanish Olympic team.
He returned to Mallorca before the start of this season. Because Tristan moved to Deportivo La Coruna, he got more opportunities, squeezing out the previous team's main forwards Carlos and Biagini.
Go to the bench.
He has excellent left foot skills and good speed and strength. He can play as a left winger or a center forward.
The cooperation between him and Eto'o is one of the main reasons why Mallorca can rank third in the league this season.
Eto'o needs no further introduction. He is a talented boy brought back from the African continent by Real Madrid. He has all the potential to become a superstar, including body, speed, sense of smell, technology... all. The only pity is that he is in a Royal Palace where superstars gather.
There is really no place for him in Madrid, so he can only be rented out here and there. After performing well on loan to Mallorca, he got the love of Mallorca, and then Mallorca paid for half of Eto'o.
Ownership, just like that, he became a member of Mallorca.
He has excellent speed and explosive power, which are his greatest strengths.
He has already proven his ability in La Liga against the big clubs.
He will be the toughest test for Getafe's defense in this game.
In the midfield, Ibagaza is definitely the core organizer of Mallorca. As a young man, he has already taken the lead in Mallorca. He has delicate footwork, excellent dribbling, and is good at commanding in the midfield. He is Mallorca's
The initiator of the attack.
Many times, he sends fatal direct passes to Eto'o. So in defense, Getafe mainly has to do two things, one is to limit Eto'o's speed, and the other is to entangle Ibagaza.
When defending, Getafe shrinks its defense and does not give Eto'o any space to sprint forward.
As for Ibagaza, it is left to the three defensive midfielders of Senna, Carlos Campo and Yaya Toure.
He believes that his three powerful defensive midfielders are enough to stop Ibagaza.
As for Finidi George and Nuovo on the wing, as long as Ibagaza can be contained, the threat from these two wingers will be much smaller.
Therefore, controlling Ibagaza and Eto'o is the key to Getafe's victory in this game.

Perhaps because they thought Getafe was easy to bully, Mallorca's offensive did not end quickly, but repeated for five minutes. In these five minutes, Mallorca got three chances to shoot. One of them was in the
Within the door frame, the other two times were either too high or off.
The kick that hit the goal frame was too accurate.
Overall, the offensive quality is not high.
In fact, no one expected Mallorca to take the lead within five minutes of the game.
So after they completed this offensive, they quickly retreated.
When Getafe kicked off, both Eto'o and Luque were in the center circle.
The defense retreated even further, keeping the distance between each of the three lines within ten meters.
In this way, when the opponent comes over with a big kick, they can have three lines of defense and will not let Getafe's offensive players easily grab the spot.
This is the standard defensive posture of a team defending on counterattack.
But when the football was kicked out by Getafe goalkeeper Pablo, many people realized something was wrong.
This match is wrong for Getafe!
Pablo didn't just kick the football into the frontcourt with a big kick.
Instead, he passed the ball directly to captain Pedro Canizares, who was waiting on the line of the penalty area.
Well, if that's the case, it's not bad. After all, Charisteas did not play in this game, and they lacked a high point for headers in the frontcourt. Getafe was cautious and did not directly take big shots.
Very normal.
But the question is what comes next...
Next, Getafe did not directly send the football forward.
Pedro Canizares gave the football to Jose Passarella, who was fifteen meters away from him.
Passarella did not send the football forward. He looked back at the frontcourt. He found that Eto'o, who was closest to him, was still in the center circle, about thirty meters away.
So he passed the football back to his captain.
The captain got the ball, took two steps forward, and passed the ball back to Jose Passarella.
Passarella passed the ball directly back without stopping.
Pedro Canizares received the ball and adjusted twice. He looked up at the frontcourt and seemed to be about to kick off the ball.
This attracted Mallorca's players to concentrate on getting into position and preparing to compete for the top spot.
In the end, Canizares just feinted a shot and passed the football back to Jose Passarella!
The two Getafe center backs have passed the ball five times in a row!
As if there is no one around, it's like practicing passing the ball to each other on the training ground...
This made a group of people look at each other.
Mallorca's players didn't understand the situation, and they didn't press forward easily. But it was really weird to see the opponent's two central defenders passing the ball back and forth like this.
The fans were also confused about the situation, whether they were Sevilla fans, Mallorca fans, or Getafe fans. None of them understood why the two central defenders were passing the ball back and forth not long after the game started...
…isn’t that pointless?
The reporters in the media box looked at each other. What is Getafe doing?
The commentator responsible for accepting this game was also confused. He was startled at first and shouted something like "Pedro Canizares is going to move forward!", but now he felt like he was like
Like an idiot...
Aragones was also surprised.
He leaned out of his seat and stared at the court with some confusion.
Then he turned his attention to the sidelines, next door, in front of Getafe's coaching bench.
What does that Chinese person mean?
Chang Sheng squatted on the ground and couldn't see his expression. Naturally, he didn't know whether this scene was his instruction or the players' own decision.
As for Chang Sheng himself, he squatted on the ground and looked at the court, with a faint smile on his face.
His copycat version of tikitaka sounds simple, but in fact there are many small details in it.
Every player has their tasks.
He knew that Tikitaka had been criticized by many people for knowing how to use his feet in the backcourt to increase the ball control data. He had also despised it.
However, this criticism has given him inspiration now.
Why can't he play from the back?
There is a huge strength gap between the two sides in this match. Is there any way to directly ignore the strength gap between the two sides?
It's very simple, a penalty kick!
Anyway, the penalty kick was specially practiced for the normal victory.
If a penalty kick really had to be taken, his team would be mentally prepared. Mallorca might not be.
So even if this game is dragged into a penalty shootout, that is what Chang Sheng wants to see, but it may not be what Aragones wants.
So if it's as simple as that and you can waste time and drag it directly into a penalty shootout, why not?
Therefore, in the tactical meeting, Chang Sheng assigned tasks to everyone, and one of the tasks given to the two central defenders was to waste time like this.
This seems very immodest and shameless.
But for the sake of victory, what's the point of being shameless?
If a weak team still has to challenge a strong opponent, it should use all means and power, otherwise it will die.
This is not a fair duel between two gentlemen throwing gloves, this is a "you die or I die" war!..)
