O'Reilly stood up and watched nervously at the situation on the court.

He didn't expect Mallorca's attack to be so fierce, especially the short right forward, who did not cross and find the first landing point after passing the opponent's defender. Instead, he boldly dribbled the ball and cut into the penalty area. If there were only some threats in the cross, then the threat of cutting in after the breakthrough was even greater...

Jose also paid attention to the situation in the penalty area of ​​Leeds United. He is more familiar with these players of Leeds United. After all, Leeds United was once a fan of Leeds United when the youth guards whirlwinds were swept up in Europe. You should know that Leeds United's defense was not particularly good this season. Although Radbey was diligent and loyal, his strength was not particularly outstanding. Woodgate performed quite well. However, he also had a common problem with England's central defender, which was frigid. This situation was not relieved until the sky-high defender Ferdinand joined. For the defender, the contribution of nine clearances was not as great as the impact of a mistake...

Seeing Ibagasa dribbled into the penalty area, Woodgate was indeed a little nervous. Although Radbe was still trying his best to guard Mallorca's most threatening center Tristan, Woodgate had already abandoned Etoo, who was originally his guard, and rushed to stop Ibagasa's advance...

"Oh no!" Such a thought flashed through O'Reilly's mind.

Jose, who was on the side, looked full of expectations - Woodgate's replacement was indeed a very rash behavior. You should know that although Ibagasa broke into the penalty area, he did not have much shooting angle. After all, he started to cut across from the baseline, and there was almost no angle for the shot in this place. Although Ibagasa was constantly adjusting the route of progress to make the angle of shot larger, he still could not easily complete the shot. Bati has retreated and is ready to block Ibagasa's forward route. In this case, there is no need to leave the forward who is guarding to block Ibagasa's advance, because Ibagasa cannot shoot directly, but Etoo is facing the goal...

Although Barty was rushing towards Etoo desperately to stare at him and make up for the gap, at this moment, a big gap appeared on Leeds' defense!

Ibagasa did not hesitate anymore, and bounced his right foot and directly sent the ball to the goal!

Etoo appeared where he should appear the most, received a pass from Ibagasa in the corner of the small penalty area, and then directly raised his right foot and volleyed!

This is an irregular shot, but it is the fastest and most timely shot!

The changed directional ball flew directly to the front point of the goal. Etoo remained calm when shooting. Jose reminded him before the game that Leeds goalkeeper Martin is the third goalkeeper of the England national team. He is experienced and tall. However, when facing the earth, his fall-and-down save often seems a little slow...

Etoo shot it was a close-knit shot!

Although Martin made a move to fall, he was still a beat slower. The ball quickly flew into the goal against the goal post!

When he saw Etoo's shot, Jose had already raised his arms high, and as he moved, a huge cheer suddenly sounded in the stands!

"goal! The ball is in! Etoo's goal scored! Ibagasa's excellent breakthrough created a chance for Etoo. This is Etoo's fourth goal in the League Cup, and he performed well! Now he is like Stankovic and Tristan, Mallorca's best scorer in the League Cup. Mallorca's loan was so successful! It didn't cost much money, but he loaned a scorer who had already scored eight goals in the League Cup and the league. His existence allowed Mallorca to find another stable scoring point outside Tristan!"

Etoo opened his arms and rushed to the bottom of the stands, then raised his right hand high and pointed to the stands. When the cheers in the stands sounded again, he turned around and hugged his teammates tightly!

"We have to talk about Ibagasa here. This small Argentine midfielder was one of the best midfielders in Mallorca last season. However, this season seems to have suffered from 'seventh grade syndrome'. There was no goal in the first half of the season, only two assists, which is in sharp contrast with the performance of eleven assists and seven goals in the first season. However, after Jose took office, Ibagasa, who changed to the wing, became better and better. He has scored three goals and assists seven times in various games. If this continues, Mallorca fans will be very happy to see that Ibagasa from last season returned to their front... "

After waving his fists a few times, Jose made a downward gesture on the sidelines - now recover a little bit for the time being, and then suppress the attack again after they attacked a few times!

After losing this ball, O'Reilly did not realize that there was something wrong with his tactics. Besides, it was just a ball. In the away game, this kind of backwardness was nothing.

What he didn't notice was that the Leeds players on the court had already developed two mentalities at this time.

Young offensive players hope to be able to quickly attack and equalize the score to quickly reverse the situation on the court. Players on the defense still remember O'Reilly's previous instructions and pay more attention to defense. Even if you lose a goal, don't worry, focus on stability in the away game...

With the inconsistent thoughts on the court, although Leeds United launched a fierce attack after re-telephone, they seemed unable to succeed because there were not enough players to follow up the assists...

Bowyer dribbled the ball from the middle and was blocked by Soler and Ngongga. He turned around and wanted to pass it to Bati who was following him, but unexpectedly found that Bati did not follow him. When he wanted to pass it to Buck on the right, Soler predicted it in advance and broke his pass!

After intercepting the ball, Soler immediately handed the ball to Ngonga. Ngonga made a long pass without hesitation. Etoo who inserted it almost made a single shot again. Fortunately, Woodgate reacted quickly this time and flew to block Etoo's shot at the front of the penalty area with his body.

A few minutes later, Leeds United launched a counterattack and the ball was passed to Cowell's feet. Cowell was a little difficult to carry the ball. Mallorca's defense line was quite complete, and he was very strict in the defense of the two forwards, so he had no chance to shoot.

Jose smiled slightly off the court - the current Leeds United is still very different from the young guards a year or two later. Without Ferdinand, their defense line is not as stable; without Dakota, their midfielder is missing a midfielder who is both offensive and defensive; and before Viduca has arrived, there is also a powerful shooter who can destroy cities and villages in the penalty area!

Smith is excellent, but he is not a strong player. Bridges is a good center forward. However, his deterrence in the penalty area is not as good as Viduka. Nino, who is also tall and strong, is enough to freeze him!

The ball was passed back and forth and returned to Cowell's feet. Cowell still couldn't find any gap for the pass. If it were normal, two full-backs should be assisted at this time, especially Hart on the left. Although Hart was average in defense and not fast, his left-foot crossing skills and free kicks were quite excellent. The crossing after forward assists can always create a threat.

Kewell usually cooperates with Hart quite a tacit understanding, but when he turned around to observe Hart's running position, he found that Hart was still standing stupidly behind the middle circle line...

Cowell was almost so angry that he couldn't even control the ball, but at this time he remembered that it was O'Reilly who asked the defenders to try not to attack and ensure defense...

In desperation, Cowell could only break through the side road alone. With Soler's interference, he still found the opportunity to cross. However, the hasty cross failed to pass a high-quality ball. Nino jumped high in front of Bridges and then pushed the ball far away.

"Be careful of their counterattack!"

O'Reilly shouted loudly on the sidelines. He knew that Mallorca was a team with a distinctive counterattack...

However, he ignored one thing. In addition to being a team with very distinctive counterattacks, Mallorca is also a La Liga team. What are the characteristics of the La Liga team? It has delicate skills and its offense is mainly ground. Even the mid- and lower-level teams can often make more than a dozen consecutive passes without making mistakes...

Although Mallorca is not good at this, but under the influence of ears and eyes, the ground coordination and technical content of the offense are higher than that of Premier League teams. Nowadays, the Premier League is still a traditional league with popular offense. In addition to being better at ground attack under Wenger, even the Premier League overlord Manchester United is a tactic of high-level play in the traditional sense. Just look at their midfielders, a fierce midfielder Keane, who blocks and passes the ball, and a front midfielder who mainly shoots forward and scores long shots.

Scholes, a fast winger Giggs, and a passer-sex Beckham - a typical British midfielder. Although he won the Champions League last season, the defect of lack of technical content still exists. If it weren't for his good luck, he would have been defeated by Bayern's Effenberg and Basler in the finals so that there was no scum left. Bayern's two local strikers Yankee and Ziegler were wasted a chance in the game, which led to the miracle of Manchester United scoring two goals in the last three minutes!

If Elber had not been injured at the time, Bayern's advantage would have been enough to convert into three or four goals in that game, so Manchester United would not have a chance to turn the tables.

Although Leeds United has a lot of vibrant and talented players, they are still a Premier League team. Although there are technical players like bad boys Bower and Smith, other players still focus on fierce steals and running, and their technical content is not high.

After receiving the ball, Ngonga did not pass it directly, but controlled the ball on the spot and avoided Bowy's counter-robbery, and then passed the ball to Stankovic. Stankovic dribbled the ball forward a few steps before passing it to Etoo in front. Etoo protected the ball on the sideline and did not force a breakthrough. Instead, he waited for his teammates to come up before continuing to pass the ball back to Stankovic - Mallorca played the ball-control tactic directly in the frontcourt.

"They run a lot and fight for active force, so we let them run. If they see no chance to counterattack, pass the ball back and forth, causing them to run everywhere and consume physical energy, I will see how long they can run when they are drowsy!"

This is what Jose said before the game - he did not explain any issues such as spring laziness to the players. He just told the players that Leeds United players will feel drowsy and weak in their hands and feet to varying degrees. Even if they compete with the opponent for physical fitness, we should not be afraid. Of course, it is the best to consume their physical fitness while saving their physical fitness...

This method is the best for teams with slightly weaker technical content...

Watching Mallorca's players start organizing attacks through passing balls in the frontcourt, Jose smiled satisfied.

The players' poor condition caused by the discomfort of the weather, and intentionally luring the opponent to increase their running to consume more physical fitness, this two-pronged approach will make your Leeds players slowly rust!
