Chapter 289 Cheetah's Sword

"Oh, I actually scored the goal by that bald fat man." Karin looked at Ronaldo who was celebrating on the court in disappointment and said disappointedly.

"It would be strange if Real Madrid is pressed and beaten like this." Ferming shrugged his shoulders. He was much calmer, and he watched much more football than Karin, and knew that losing goals in such a game was nothing.

"Actually, Mallorca has played well so far, but Real Madrid has performed too well." Fermin thought to himself: "Next, it depends on whether Jose will make any changes to turn the situation around. Real Madrid is good at attack, and Mallorca is good at attack. If you can't use offense to suppress Real Madrid, Mallorca's situation will be quite bad."

However, Jose did not make any changes next, but allowed Mallorca's players to fight with Real Madrid in the midfield, which surprised Fermin a little.

In fact, it was not only him who was surprised, but everyone including Boske was a little surprised - Jose is not the kind of head coach who suffered losses and was not at all. His counterattack was often very fierce, but he did not make any moves...

"What is this guy thinking?" Everyone was a little surprised, but Jose still did not move, and Mallorca's players continued to attack through back and forth in the midfield as if they had not lost the ball.

They quickly completed a shot. After Etoo received the ball in the middle, he passed the ball across the road. Ronaldo kept shooting from the ball, but was saved by Casillas.

However, Real Madrid quickly gained the advantage on the field again and continued to attack in the midfield. Figo made another long shot at the front of the penalty area, and the ball slightly missed the far post.

After Carlos, Zidane and Ronaldo showed their strength in succession, it was Figo's turn to become the main force of the offense. Since the beginning of this game, Real Madrid's main force of offense has been changed four times. This is also Bosque's carefully prepared offensive routine. Continuously changing the main force of the offense has put Mallorca's defense under greater pressure. Now it seems that the effect is good.

Mallorca, who lost the power in the midfield, was forced to use more foul tactics. They kept fouling in the midfield. Although they didn't move very much, such frequent fouls would also cause the referee to warn them. Finally, they received yellow cards in a row...

First, in the 40th minute, Capdvilla tackled Figo who was holding the ball and received a yellow card. Then, before the first half was about to end, Beletti pulled Carlos who was dribbling the ball and also received a yellow card.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Jose couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Real Madrid's attack was indeed too sharp. Mallorca's two sides almost completely lost power. In the first half, they all received three yellow cards on the defense line, which was quite deadly...

Fortunately, except for Nadal's suspension in the next game, both fullbacks are still innocent, otherwise Jose would have caught him in the second round. Fortunately, there is a substitute Campano on the right, and if Capdevila on the left is suspended... Will Olesola, who has not played much this season, appear? Just kidding.

However, although he played in a mess in the first half, he basically achieved his strategic goal. He did not count how many meters the players on both sides ran in the first half. However, the players in Mallorca were breathing heavily when they left the court. Real Madrid's players were not less running than those in Mallorca's players. Their physical fitness would definitely decline in the second half!

This may not be obvious at this time, but if you take a break for a while during the intermission, you will feel more tired.

"We played well in the first half... Although they scored a goal, they did not lose the second goal. I am very satisfied... But there are two points to pay attention to in the second half. When the midfield continues to get entangled with them, we must strengthen the offense and directly hit the forward's feet to let them face the opponent's two central defenders. The second point is to pay attention to the foul action. We have a lot of cards on the defense line, so be careful."

The players nodded one after another. After all, most of the players in Mallorca are very young. After a while of rest, their physical fatigue gradually disappeared. After the winter break, Mallorca suffered a lot of injuries, but this objectively forced them to complete some rotations. Many players are in good physical condition, which is also one of the factors that Jose decides to consume with Real Madrid.

After emphasizing these two points, Jose did not say anything, but gave the players a good rest. Although the situation was not good in the first half, Mallorca's locker room seemed very quiet and everyone was hurrying to rest.

In the home team's locker room, Boske first praised the players, and then emphasized that the pace can be slowed down a little in the second half, dragged Mallorca into the situation of incompetence in offense, protect the front of the penalty area, and then scored goals through counterattacks - one high and one fast in the frontcourt, Real Madrid's forward partner is also very suitable for counterattacks.

But what he didn't notice was that among the several important offensive players in Real Madrid's frontcourt, Figo and Zidane looked very tired, and Ronaldo was not much better. Among the several offensive focus in the first half, Carlos was still very lively.

Since the winter break, Real Madrid has basically completed its running-in and has been in excellent shape. Bosque has basically not used any rotation tactics. A lineup is played from beginning to end. If Mallorca's physical reserves are still 60% before the start of the season, then Real Madrid still has at most 40%. When they are in good condition, they don't think anything. With the experience of Real Madrid players, they can also allocate their physical fitness well. However, the good situation in the first half is also related to everyone's strengthening their running, which makes their physical fitness decline even more.

The intensity of the first half is even comparable to the entire game of some not-so-economic La Liga. After a game, after a day or two of rest, the players' condition can recover almost the same, but now, they only have twenty minutes of rest time.

***************************************

"The second half is about to begin! Mallorca and Real Madrid contributed a wonderful first half for us... Although they only scored one goal, both sides played beautifully, with more than twenty shots in total, including Mallorca nine times and Real Madrid fourteen times. This data proves that both sides are mainly attacking... Real Madrid gained the upper hand in the first half, but one goal is definitely not enough. Mallorca was suppressed by Real Madrid in the midfield battle in the first half. Maybe they will change their tactics in the second half, so let's wait and see! Now both sides have appeared, Real Madrid has no substitutions, and Mallorca... has not substitutions either!"

Amid the commentator's shouts, the players on both sides ran to the stadium. As the commentator said, neither Real Madrid nor Mallorca substitutions. Bosque was very satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half, while Jose felt that there was no need to substitutions.

Mallorca kicked off in the second half.

After receiving Etoo's return pass, Ronaldo once again passed the ball back to Alonso behind, and Alonso transferred it to Beletti on the right, and Mallorca's attack began.

Real Madrid did not force it to be as fierce as the first half at the beginning, and they also wanted to save some physical fitness. However, Mallorca immediately launched a fast attack. Beletti made a quick breakthrough on the side, attracting Carlos' defense and handed the ball to Drogba. Drogba passed back, and Kaka followed up with a long shot with a very good quality, forcing Casillas to make a beautiful save.

"Catch them back!"

Without Boske's shout, Real Madrid players had such an idea.

Casillas threw the ball and launched an attack. After Carlos dribbled the ball, he began to drive straight into the left. Beletti kept interfering with him. Kaka also returned to the defense to help Beletti control Carlos' breakthrough. The combination of the two Brazilians finally slowed down a Brazilian. Seeing that he could not easily get rid of his opponent, Carlos immediately raised his foot and passed the ball to Zidane in the middle.

Zidane received the ball, and then he used an extremely exciting turn to pull the ball and dodged Dacott's defense. Then he made a wonderful pass and ran out of the gap. Morientes, who had received the ball in the penalty area after receiving the ball, but he seemed to be a little ineffective. He shot and finally hit the ball high under the interference of Van Bitten.

The huge sighs of Real Madrid fans sounded in the stands. Even Carlos I, who had been watching the game calmly, couldn't help but slap her, with regret on her face.

The Real Madrid caddie behind the goal sighed and threw the ball in his hand to Franco. However, after a minute, he would be extremely regretful of his move...

Franco quickly received the ball and placed the ball in the small penalty area, then passed the ball directly to Alonso in front!

Alonso received the ball and turned around, then took a long pass to attack!

The ball drew an arc and flew toward the center circle. Kaka jumped and pushed the ball forward. Drogba jumped again and swung the ball down. After receiving the ball, Kaka passed the ball directly to Ronaldo, who ran to the front of the penalty area and leaned against the left side. Ronaldo received the ball, and the ball jumped up. Ronaldo used his thigh to push the ball upwards, and then turned around to break through!

Guti had no idea that Ronaldo would use this method to break through. Ronaldo rushed over from the side. After completing this beautiful pick-up, Ronaldo did not continue to drag the ball, but while turning around, he volleyed against the falling ball!

This angle is not good, but the ball hit Yero's thigh and then flew obliquely into the middle of the penalty area...

A black shadow quickly penetrated from the middle!

In the whole first half, Etoo's performance was not good, especially when the midfielder was suppressed by Real Madrid, he was almost invisible. During the break, many commentators believed that Etoo's injury had to play and train to regain his form after nearly a month of injury. What Jose should do most was to let Torres, who had performed well before, appear. However, Jose chose to trust Etoo, and Etoo did not disappoint his trust and appeared in the place where he should appear!

This ball is a change of direction, so it is not good to land something. The ball flew to the middle of the penalty area at a very awkward height. However, Etoo rushed forward directly, and then directly used his stomach to knock the flying ball forward. The ball with the force changed direction forward, and then fell down...

Etoo stepped forward again. At this time, his position was almost approaching the small penalty area. Before Elgra rushed over, he had already swung his right foot and calmly pushed the ball!

Pushing with a arch at close range is not very powerful, but the accuracy is...

The ball flew directly to the lower left corner of the goal. No matter how fast Casillas reacted, he was powerless at this time. Without everyone's response, the ball flew into the goal against the left post...

One to one! Etoo, who had been silent for half the game, tapped out his sword at that moment and instantly pierced Real Madrid's heart!

After pushing, Etoo only took a look, then turned around and rushed towards the sidelines - the Cheetah started his running again!
Chapter completed!
