With one goal lead, Mallorca is indeed much easier to play in the next game.

Although La Coruña tried to counterattack and equalize the score, Mallorca launched a stubborn block in the midfield. In addition to Capdvilla's defensive attack on the sideline, even George rushed to the midfield and launched a crazy press.

After each pressing, Mallorca's attack made La Coruna's defense jump for a while. Their attack was not very special. They just took the ball and then rushed directly behind them and relied on the speed of Etoo and others to launch a counterattack. Although this tactic is simple, it hit La Coruna's weakness, leaving them helpless...

At this time, De Jamingha, the core of La Coruna's offensive, fell into a single fight because of his fighting spirit. He kept getting the ball and breaking through, and then kept falling into the double-team of Mallorca's midfield...

I have to say that his skills are indeed very good. Even if there is a dedicated person to guard the situation, he has created many opportunities through his own breakthroughs. However, after all, his personal strength is weak. Even if he can break through one or two, how can he break through Mallorca's entire defensive system?

When the defense is restrained and the frontcourt is fighting on their own, if La Coruna's offense can be effective, that's a real hell...

The first half passed so quickly. La Coruña could not beat Mallorca's midfield defense. Tristan was mediocre because of lack of support. Maka did not get a few opportunities to quickly forward. Mallorca's offensive efficiency seemed a bit low. When the whistle at the end of the first half blew, although the two sides fought very fiercely, they had few shots, and the total number of shots was less than ten times...

With a beautiful raid after the opening, Mallorca gained a leading advantage in this first half with few shots!

"We continue to play like this in the second half... As long as Dejaminha is still on the court, we will deal with La Coruna like this! Don't stop others from getting the ball for Dejaminha, but as long as he gets the ball, you will immediately double-team him to death! After grabbing the ball, counterattack immediately, be patient, be careful not to press too much in the attack. Ma Kai is also a very dangerous guy. The role he plays in counterattack is very terrifying. Don't ignore this."

While Jose was explaining the countermeasures for the second half, Iruetta had a headache in the visiting team's locker room.

There is no doubt that Irueta is the best head coach in La Coruna's history. He has the heart-warming "Super Laco". However, as a coach, he has a big weakness, that is, he is a very good person - he has a gentle temper and is a moderate. At the same time, because he is older, he is inevitably a little indulgent to the players, especially with an outstanding genius like Dejaminha, who is even more almost doting. The famous conversation with Dejaminha is a good example - Dejaminha's answer is actually very impolite, but he is still not angry.

Such an old man is of course a good person, but as a coach, he lacks the ability to manage the army with iron fist. La Coruna has more Brazilian players, so it is naturally not uncommon to join the group. Iruetta's control over the locker room is more due to the respect of others, rather than others.

So looking at Dejaminha, who had already had an imbalance in his mind, Iruetta had a headache.

"Don't worry, although we are behind, we are not at the point where the situation is bad." Iruetta finally decided to appease the players first: "We don't need to worry in the second half. Mallorca's defense is much worse than last season. As long as we calmly seize the opportunity, we can beat them."

"Don't drive the ball alone when attacking, and make more passes. Their wing defense is not that good. Use passes to help Roy and the others create opportunities. Do you understand?" In the end, Iruetta said to Dejaminha.

Dejaminha nodded and said that he knew - only God knows whether he has listened to it...

Iruetta was a little helpless when he saw Dejaminha's appearance. His performance this season was actually very outstanding, but this game seemed to have been greatly affected.

And Iruetta cannot replace him. Now is the critical time for the league and the Champions League. If he replaces him and makes his mood worse, it will be even more disaster for La Coruna.

Now I can only hope that Dejaminha can solve this problem by himself.

However, for a player who is already thirty years old, it is almost impossible to expect him to become mature suddenly - teenagers may mature overnight, because they still have a lot of plasticity. Thirty-year-old players... have basically been set, and it is too difficult to change their style or something.

After the second half, Dejaminha indeed restrained a little and began to pass the ball. However, after Mallorca resisted several attacks and was lost again by Karaze and others' close pressing, he began to take the ball like in the first half and start rushing towards the opponent's defense line again and again...

"So I won't spoil players. Although such players can bring a lot to the team, they will also make the team lose a lot. No matter how outstanding they are, they cannot let it go." Jose smiled slightly and thought to himself.

This kind of attack cannot pose any threat to Mallorca's defense line. It depends on when Iruetta's tolerance reaches the limit. What Mallorca has to do is to score the second goal before Iruetta's tolerance reaches the limit!

In Mallorca's continuous and rapid counterattack, the defenders of La Coruna were already feeling a little tired. For the defenders of La Coruna who were not young, had just played two fierce league games and two Champions League games and had double games for a week, their load was almost at their limit!

In the 67th minute, Mallorca's counterattack worked again!

Dejaminha's pass was cut off by Capdvilla in front of Makai. Then Capdvilla immediately passed the ball to Karaze in front, and Karaze immediately made a transition and passed the ball to Ronaldo in the middle!

Etoo began to jump into the left high speed, and the defenders of Coruña immediately stared at him, but Ronaldo did not pass the ball to Etoo, but directly divided the ball to the right!

What was inserted from there was another fast offensive player in Mallorca, Argentine Ibagasa!

After the second half of this season, Ibagasa, who was originally a main player in Mallorca, gradually became less important. In Jose's offensive system, Ibagasa sometimes became a substitute, but his strength still cannot be ignored, especially in counterattacks.

However, the defenders of La Coruna ignored Ibagasa at this time.

After Iba Gassa got the ball, Romero, who was attracted by Etoo, wanted to return to defense, but it was too late.

Ibagasa sprinted forward at the wing high speed, approaching the place parallel to the penalty area line, and then began to break into the penalty area. Then, before Nebet, who was returning to defense, suddenly stepped on his foot and shot!

The ball flew into the blind spot of the goal quickly! Mallorca successfully expanded its leading advantage!

"Okay, this game has been won!"

Jose waved his hand violently, then turned around and high-fives with Natal!

There are only more than twenty minutes left in the game. Even if you reclaim the defense, you can maintain the leading advantage until the end of the game!

Considering that there are two games against the strong teams in the next round, Jose started substitutions after leading two goals, Campano replaced George, Engon replaced Luke with the field, and Mallorca, who replaced two defensive players in one breath, began to defend intensively.

Iruetta also replaced Dejaminha with Belleron, and he had to do this at this time, otherwise there would be no hope of winning the game.

But for Jose, Iruetta's substitution this time seems quite slow!

Although La Coruna began to fight back against Mallorca in the next game, they could not create too many opportunities in the face of Mallorca's intensive counterattack!

After Belleron came on the court, La Coruña's offense became much more organized. Makai began to break through the side road frequently, and Tristan continued to seize the position in the penalty area. La Coruña's offense began to become really fierce, while Mallorca's defense was organized quite well. Karaze returned to defense and Capdvilla to stabilize the left side together, and Nino in the penalty area also tried hard to entangle Tristan. Although he was at a disadvantage, it also made Tristan difficult to deal with...

After tireless attack, La Coruña finally scored a point in the 85th minute. After receiving the pass from Belleron, Makai forced into Mallorca's penalty area along the sideline. Tristan used a pick-and-roll action similar to a basketball pick-and-roll in the penalty area to block Nadal who was going to fill the position. Then Makai used a tricky shot in the penalty area to break through Franco's ten fingers.

"The attacks of these guys are really sharp, fortunately they have obtained enough lead..." Jose thought in his mind that being able to break through Mallorca's defense line was something that Arsenal and Barcelona did not do last season. Although Mallorca's defensive ability has declined a little this season, it can also prove that La Coruña's offensive firepower is indeed very sharp.

However, Jose is not worried that victory will slip away from his hands, because there is not much time left, and Mallorca's counterattack may have a good effect at the last moment...

Sure enough, when La Coruña saw Hope launching a large attack despite the flaws in the defense, Mallorca once again smashed the opponent's defense with a sharp counterattack. Mota's straight pass from the middle helped Ronaldo get a single shot. Ronaldo easily swiped past Molina who attacked and won another goal for the team.

Three to one, this is a score that will set the victory for Mallorca.

After winning this game, Mallorca once again narrowed the gap with the top four. The top four in this round failed to win. Except for La Coruña losing to Mallorca, Real Madrid and Barcelona tied a two-to-two in a match with Mars. The top scorers of both sides, Raul and Rivaldo each scored one goal, while Valencia was tied by Zaragoza away. Mallorca is now one point behind Barcelona, ​​three points behind Valencia, five points behind La Coruña, and ten points behind Real Madrid...

"Who said our goal is to enter the Champions League next season? Who said we don't have a chance to win the league? There are thirteen rounds in the league, and I think we still have great hope." Jose replied with a smile at the press conference after the game.
Chapter completed!
