Chapter 128 Lightning Assault
No matter what Dejaminha would think, it became inevitable that he would hate Jose at this time.
For Dejaminha, who is from the middle class, he plays football just because of his hobbies, which makes him unable to go further - this can be seen from the conversation between Iruetta and him - after the end of last season, Iruetta once said to his disciple half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If you can control the red cards you get in a season below three, then you can get Mr. World." As a result, Dejaminha replied naturally: "Fuck Mr. Football." - He doesn't care about this at all!
It is precisely for this reason that this professional player, who is the least like a professional player, has always played football in a fun way. His performance last season was top-notch and helped La Coruna win the first club championship in history. His performance this season was not as good as last season. It is precisely because of this that the more diligent Belleron began to gradually play as the main player, but Iruetta still relied on him more.
"I will let that guy know that he is not qualified to point fingers at my way of playing football!" Dejaminha said viciously in an interview.
It is precisely because of this sentence that my emotions before the game began to become nervous...
"Kaha, entangle Dejaminha, make him irritated, do you understand?" Jose said to Karaze in the locker room.
Karaze nodded, how to deal with an unstable genius? That is to let his emotions affect his performance, and Dejaminha happens to be a talented player with great emotional fluctuations and will affect his performance.
The coach's confrontation is not on the court - not many coaches can understand this now, but it is not a problem for Jose. The intensive bombing of information in later generations has long allowed him to know the benefits of doing so, especially for players like Dejaminha, who have the same ability and temper, it is more effective.
After explaining this sentence, Jose did not talk about the defensive issues, but focused on the offense - "La Coruna's defense is not bad, but it is not as good as Valencia. Their central defender Donato is already 39 years old. Although his performance is still outstanding, the decline in response and other aspects is an indisputable fact. Samuel, he will be your key breakthrough target in this game, get rid of him with speed. As for another central defender Nebert and Albert, restrain him and create opportunities for Samuel. Romero and Pablo are both players with good assist capabilities, so we also need to suppress their wing attacks. Based in the midfield, we will launch a counterattack."
In this game, Jose sent another midfielder who was biased towards offense, and Ibagasa appeared at the starter and took on the midfield assault role with Ronaldo.
There are also many veterans in La Coruna. In addition to the fossil-level defender Donato who is almost forty years old, the 33-year-old Brazilian midfielder Mauro Silva, the 30-year-old left-back Romero, the 30-year-old central defender Nebert, the 31-year-old captain left-frontback Fran (not the Fran Uruguay), the 30-year-old attacking midfielder Dejaminha, the 30-year-old goalkeeper Molina, and the 32-year-old Brazilian midfielder Sampayo are all veterans over 30 years old. The only players in the starting lineup are right-back Pablo, Makai, who serves as right-back and center Tristan. La Coruna is also a team with a strong Brazilian flavor. Even Donato is an Espanyol descendant of Brazil, so this team has gorgeous offense and excellent skills, but not very outstanding in confrontation.
This Mallorca team does not have a thin genius. They use their bodies to disrupt the opponent's defense and then tear open the opponent's defense through rapid offense. This is how Jose deals with La Coruna.
Their main defensive players are basically veterans over 30 years old. They are not afraid of the tug-of-war of the tug-of-war. However, when facing a fast attack, they will easily be penetrated by the fast attack like Mallorca before.
The best way to deal with such a team is naturally to counterattack quickly, and Jose does not intend to use intensive defense. After all, he is clear about Tristan's impact in the penalty area. He is ready to fight a defensive counterattack based on the midfield in this game!
Mallorca's frontcourt is not short of extremely fast players
******************************************
At the beginning of the World War of the Century, Mallorca also welcomed La Coruña at home.
Tristan received warm applause from fans when he appeared on the court. Although he only played for one season in Mallorca, Tristan's goals in the league and League Cup that season made Mallorca fans very grateful to the scorer. Although he left in just one season, for Mallorca fans, it has almost become a norm for Mallorca fans to leave after a season's exciting performance.
Not to mention anything else, even if the opponent of La Coruña in this game, except Tristan, there are two players who have played for Mallorca for one year - Romero and Bellellon both played for Mallorca for one year in the 1997-98 season, but Romero went to Laco after that season, while Bellellon only played for two years at Atletico Madrid.
What's more, the transfer fee brought by Tristan's departure was the player with the highest single income in the history of the Mallorca club. In this case, it seems normal for Mallorca players to applause him.
Tristan and his former teammates were still very friendly, constantly shaking hands and hugging each other, but the other players in La Coruna were not so friendly. Ma Kai was silent with a stern face, while Dejaminha kept looking at the players in Mallorca with provocative eyes, looking like he was in trouble.
Unfortunately, few of the Mallorca players paid attention to him, but they just looked at him calmly, just like looking at a cloud of air, which made Dejaminha even more annoyed.
This idea made Dejaminha use his own breakthrough to cause trouble for Mallorca's defense at the beginning of the game!
When he received Ma Kai's return pass, he did not continue to return pass, but dribbled the ball and started rushing into Mallorca's penalty area!
Didn’t you pretend you didn’t see me? Then I’ll let you see what kind of existence you are facing!
The annoyed Dejaminha burst into an excellent state, and Luke, who rushed to defend, was soon left behind by him!
Then Ronaldo, who symbolically met up, was also left behind by De Jiamingha. Although Ronaldo is also a player with excellent skills and rich imagination, he is not good at defense after all. Despite his reaction, he was still left behind by the rampage De Jiamingha with a back and forth move!
"The skills are really excellent, this guy." Jose sighed off the court, but he was not worried. Modern football has long been a game where he can score goals by just one person. Overall defense and collaboration are the characteristics of modern football.
Sure enough, Dejaminha soon fell into Mallorca's double-team. Mota and Karaze joined forces to stop Dejaminha's advance. Then Karaze hit Dejaminha's center of gravity from the side, and Mota quickly stretched out his foot and poked the ball out!
"Damn, that guy was fouled!"
After conceding the ball, Dejaminha did not return to grab it, but waved to the referee for a foul. However, the referee ignored him and ran directly to La Coruna's half-time - Mallorca's counterattack has quietly started!
The ball that Mota poked was obtained by Ibagasa, and the Argentine did not dribble the ball because at this time, La Coruña's overall defense line had just been pressed up and was in a chaotic moment of defence to offense. It was the time when Mallorca seized the opportunity to counterattack!
"The midfielder intercepted the ball and hit the back immediately!" This is something Jose explained many times before the game began!
So Ibagasa did not hesitate at all, and immediately raised her foot and gave the ball to Ronaldo near the center circle!
After receiving the ball, Ronaldo showed his foot skills that were no less than Dejaminha. Facing the main midfielder Mauro Silva and Sampayo of the Brazilian national team in 1994 and 1998, Ronaldo moved and controlled the ball in a narrow space, and then suddenly stepped forward!
The ball flew between Donato and Nebert, while Etoo inserted it from the backcourt like lightning!
Thirty-nine-year-old Donato and thirty-year-old Nebert seemed to turn so slowly at this moment!
When they turned around, Etoo had already received the ball behind them and threw them away by at least five meters - in the process, Ronaldo's beautiful direct pass and Etoo's outstanding speed played a huge role - not offside!
After receiving the ball, Etoo approached the penalty area with two big steps. Facing Molina who was attacking, Etoo picked the ball upwards, picked over Molina's head, and then accelerated himself and walked around Molina!
The cheers of Mallorca fans in the stands sounded. Amid the cheers, Etoo quickly caught up with the ball, then raised his foot to push the ball into the empty goal!
In less than a minute of the game, Mallorca relied on a fast break launched by a midfielder after intercepting the ball, making her beautiful first start!
"What a quick attack! It's not just a quick counterattack, but a counterattack based on the midfield steal, which makes La Coruna's defense line have no room for defense at all... This is not accidental. Mallorca's counterattack was very good, and without hesitation, it must be Jose's targeted arrangement before the game begins!"
"Jose's tactical arrangement has shown a deep foundation in previous games, especially when facing a strong team, his targeted arrangement has made a lot of famous coaches feel extremely troubled. It is amazing that such a young head coach can have such excellent insight. We have reason to be optimistic about Mallorca's next results. Although they are not stable, their excellent points-grabbing ability is enough to make them a place in the top few of this season! It may be too early to say that Mallorca will enter the Champions League next season, but the European League will definitely have their place!"
Jose slapped hard, and no one knew better than him how to deal with a team with excellent abilities but older defense, because Mallorca was such a team before. In order to avoid this weakness, Jose has made a lot of hard work, and now it is the time to use it.
