When Etoo broke through Sylvester's defense, then drifted past Batters and sent the ball into the empty goal, the whole of Old Trafford was a little silent at that moment.

When the first half was about to end, Mallorca equalized the score through a quick counterattack. This goal was a great encouragement for Mallorca. Although it was just a draw, the away goal was almost equivalent to a victory![]

For Manchester United, Etoo's goal is undoubtedly a head-on strike - conceding a goal at home, Manchester United will not be able to recover to its previous state by scoring one goal, at least two goals will allow them to gain an advantage when they go away.

However, in the face of Etoo's lightning counterattack speed, can Manchester United be so forward-looking? Mallorca's defense is not something that half-baked offense can break...

When the whistle at the end of the first half sounded, Manchester United fans all had a hint of worry on their faces.

However, in the visiting team's locker room, Jose was more worried than them. In the first half, in the last twenty minutes, Mallorca suppressed Manchester United with offense. It was precisely because of this offense as an opportunity to score a goal to equalize. This tactic was arranged by Jose and it is now going smoothly, but...

In Jose's original vision, the current situation was the best situation he had ever thought of. He scored a goal and could defend more patiently in the second half and then put the final battle at home. However, what he did not expect was that after entering the locker room, the faces of Mallorca players were much more exhausted than usual.

Not adapting to the weather, the slippery lawns and the huge pressure brought by Manchester United have caused Mallorca to consume much more physical energy than usual. At this time, it is when the players were using their physical energy reserves before the season and started to fight by will. However, because of the unacceptable weather, they couldn't fight even if they wanted to...

There is another second half, and the prospects are worrying when dealing with this state.

So after returning to the locker room, Jose did not rush to speak, but allowed the players to calmly restore their strength, breathe heavily, and recover some of them.

Five minutes later, Jose said: "Whose physical fitness is a little unsupported, let me tell you first."

The players looked at each other and saw that the two forwards who had lost their physical strength were the ones who had lost their physical strength, plus the centre-back Van Biden - he was a scavenger today. At the same time, Mallorca also won several frontcourt set pieces in the first half. He consumed a lot of physical strength when rushing forward and backward, while the two forwards had to press on the offense and came back when defending, which was also costly. The other one was Mota. Although he didn't play in the last league game, the pressure he had to face in this game was not ordinary. Although Carazze and Garcia helped to defend, facing the pressure from Scholes and Keane also brought him huge expenses.

"Persist in the second half, raise your hand when you are not physically good, I will replace you. The situation we face in this game is very difficult, and I also know that everyone is working hard, but I think everyone knows the importance of this game... In the second half, we will play a defense. We have an away goal, which is our advantage. Pay attention to protection at the front of the penalty area, be careful of Keane's forward insertion and Scholes' long shot, and cut off Giggs' inward cut in the left, and pay attention to pressing through the cross. On the right, Beckham must interfere with the ball as soon as possible, and cannot let him easily start and stand in his position. On the offensive, after getting the ball in the backcourt, you must exit the ball as soon as possible, and then let Samuel and others counterattack. If you can score, you can score. If you can't score, you can delay time... Even if you fall behind again, don't worry, remember, the game is in two rounds."

Jose plans to defend in the second half, and now all the unfavorable factors are coming towards Mallorca. At this time, it is obviously irrational to fight against Manchester United, who is in good condition, and it is imperative to shrink the defense.

The game is two rounds, and no one can think of killing the opponent with one stick.

However, Jose was still a little less experienced. A few minutes after the start of the second half, Ferguson keenly discovered that Mallorca's formation contraction was more tight than the first half, and his running was not as active as the first half. Ferguson immediately realized that maybe this was a place to be used.

However, Ferguson did not rush to respond because he also had to consider whether Jose deliberately showed it to lure him. After all, this young man is also very cunning, and he has a similar set of tactical response and lower sets. Although Ferguson is not very familiar with Jose, Jose's reputation has gradually become more and more popular in the European continent in the past two years. There are several beautiful matches against Premier League teams. It is not difficult for Ferguson to get information about Jose.

After watching for a few more minutes, Ferguson confirmed that this was not Mallorca's acting—their running frequency was significantly lower than in the first half, which was a sign of lack of physical fitness. The slippery field consumed too much unnecessary physical strength in the first half, not to mention that their condition was not the best.

Seeing this situation, Ferguson began to exert force.

He replaced Bart with Solskjaer, added a center with strong ability to grab points in the penalty area, and formed two firepower points with Fanny Van Nicht. At the same time, he did not relax his defense. Keane's forward attempts decreased, staring at Mallorca's attack center of gravity in the frontcourt Ronaldo - when Mota retreated and his physical strength decreased, Ronaldo was the only initiator of Mallorca's counterattack.

This substitution quickly had an immediate effect - Solskjaer's ability to "scorer goals when you come on the bench" made Jose speechless - Solskjaer scored a goal in just three minutes after he came on the bench!

Giggs broke through on the left and was knocked down by Campano. Manchester United won a free kick from the side. Beckham passed the ball into the penalty area. Solskjaer jumped in the run and then volleyed against the falling ball!

Franco had no choice but to face this close-range shot!

In this goal loss, Van Biden made a mistake. He failed to keep up with Solskjaer's footsteps. He was unable to reach the ball while jumping in a hurry and was unable to reach the ball, allowing Solskjaer to easily pick up a leak from the back point!

This has a lot to do with the decline in physical strength. The decline in physical strength leads to slow running, which leads to a series of chain reactions that followed!

Jose could only let Gamara warm up. Fortunately, Nadal didn't run much in this game, but he was following Fanny. Otherwise, Jose would have been a little bit fussy. Although there were four central defenders, with Nino's level, it was still not enough to watch at this level. Only Gamara, a trustworthy substitute.

However, things that make things worse are always coming one by one.

Just as Jose was about to make a substitution, something happened on the field that gave him a headache.

During a pressing, Mota and Scholes collided. This was a very common collision. Scholes quickly got up, but Mota failed to get up...

When the team doctor told Jose that when Mota's thigh muscle was strained, Jose was already a little numb.

Mota has been very healthy for more than a year, which is completely different from the glass man before. Jose also pays great attention to letting Mota take good care of his body and not become the future strain emperor - but this strain also makes Jose feel very collapsed.

After comforting Mota for a few words, Jose sent Marcos on the court - fortunately, the team plus Carlaze had five midfielders, otherwise Jose would have to add the court with Engong, who was already on the verge of retirement...

Originally, Jose had already introduced Pablo Garcia with Karazemota Ngonga and Marcos, just because he was worried that Mota would be injured in consecutive games and prepared a backup plan. However, now Jose would rather his backup plan not play any role.

Unfortunately, Mota was injured, and this had become a fact. Jose could only sigh in his heart.

Marcos came on the court and replaced the injured Mota. At this time, Jose did not plan to replace Van Biten. After all, Van Biten would not make too many mistakes when Mallorca recovered, but instead restrained the attack...

Among the two forwards, Etoo's physical fitness was better, while Luke retreated more times, so he could not support Etoo first, so Jose's second substitution was given to Drogba, asking him to replace Luke, and Mallorca's next counterattack would be easier!

However, Ferguson's response was more appropriate.

After taking the lead, he began to direct Manchester United to slow down the offensive rhythm and pay attention to the integrity of the defense line. At the same time, he replaced Johnson with young player Brown. Although Brown was average in experience, his physical fitness was good and his speed was not slow, and he could increase the speed on the defense line.

Facing Manchester United, who is not in a hurry to attack, Mallorca is in a dilemma. He can't fight back, so he is afraid of the opponent's counterattack. Fortunately, Jose kept his mind at this time and decided to calm the players down and not to attack. Even if he loses one to two, it will be an acceptable result for Mallorca. On the contrary, Manchester United is not satisfied with this result!

Jose guessed right, Manchester United could not accept this result - however, in this case, the side behind often dazzled and felt that they were able to get better results and suffered a big loss - Ferguson looked at the visiting team coach's seat in surprise. There were not many young coaches who could be so calm.

Keep a clear mind under pressure and try to avoid making moves as little as possible - no coach can do not use tricks, but if you can do not use tricks, you will be an excellent coach.

Just when Ferguson had a headache, was he just keeping the score until the end of the game, or was he pressed the attack and tried to score another goal, luck fell on Manchester United again. Manchester United played a quick cooperation in the frontcourt. Beckham received Keane's pass and passed the ball to the middle. Scholes passed the ball again. After Giggs got the ball, he attracted Campano's attention and then distributed the ball to Sylvester who was inserted into the side. Sylvester made a cross from the bottom. Nadal had already reacted, but a slippery foot failed to complete the press as soon as possible. He was guarded by Captain Mallorca. The king of the small penalty area who had not obtained too many opportunities in the whole game would certainly not miss such an opportunity to fall from the sky. He immediately pushed the ball towards the goal against the near post. Franco was out of reach.

Three to one.

This goal was also the last goal in the game.

The final score was 3-1, and Mallorca lost away. They were not without a chance. Although they were two goals behind, they had an away goal, which was the last thing they could rely on.

Mota was injured, physically declining, Nadal made a mistake - Mallorca, who has been performing well in the Champions League this season and has good luck, seems to have used up all his luck before. If so many unlucky things were not combined, they might be able to win a draw...

However, now, they can only look forward to recovering the loss of this game at home.
