Chapter 539 Only three points away

Updated: 2012-09-17

**Silk transforms into a tall, rich and handsome man, and the scene of regretting black fungus abandoning him is often performed in real society. However, this situation is rare in the world of football. **Silk teams with tall, rich and handsome temperament are rare after all. Even Mallorca has gradually shown this temperament because of Jose's correction. As a great god said, high, rich and handsome is not because of his background, high in IQ, talent, and handsome in behavior. This is the real tall, rich and handsome man. It is not easy for a team to show this temperament. In addition to self-improvement, only with achievements and assets as the confidence can show this temperament.

Mallorca has shown this temperament now, and it is no wonder that people who took the initiative to join other wealthy families, such as Daniluke Tristan, regretted it very much, but it was too late to regret it. They always face various choices in life. When you make a choice, you don’t know what choice will be right. Whether it is right or wrong, you can only bear it yourself.

Amid the shouts of more than 30,000 Espanyol fans, Espanyol wrestled with Mallorca at home. Espanyol is a relatively balanced team. They scored 26 goals and conceded 24 goals in the 21st round of the league. This goal difference is the least among the top ten. Most of their winnings are narrowly won by one goal, and occasionally there are big wins and big mistakes. In short, they play quite smoothly, which also proves the characteristics of Espanyol. They are a mid-range team, a mid-range team with stable performance. Even if they have good results so far this season, their performance is not very good, and they have no particularly outstanding highlights, nor have particularly outstanding flaws.

So Mallorca's players also raised their twelve-point spirit to get entangled with this team, not only because of Jose's advice before the game, but also the characteristics of this team.

In dealing with such a team, only by gradually gaining an advantage in the midfield and then suppressing the opponent with an overwhelming approach can we form an absolute advantage.

In terms of midfield control, Mallorca is better than Espanyol. Although Espanyol's de la Pena controlled the midfield well, Senna and Alonso's turnaround defense against him reduced his organization's power a lot. At the same time, Alonso's organization can unfold smoothly because of Senna's protection, Mallorca has an advantage in this regard.

Another key player in the Espanyol midfielder, Argentina international Maxi Rodriguez, is under the close control of veteran Romero. Jose uses him in this game to mark Rodriguez. Romero is not as good as Ram in assists, but he relies on his rich experience to fight Rodriguez to a large extent. Rodriguez's characteristic is that he runs fast without the ball and has a pass. The best part is his long shot, which often comes with a masterpiece. This characteristic makes Romero's close pressing have a good effect. After all, it is difficult for Rodriguez to get rid of Romero's battle after receiving the ball. It cannot have a good effect whether it is a long shot or a breakthrough. He can only use the pass to help his teammates.

When Mallorca was entangled with his opponents, his defense was actually very stable, because although Mallorca's midfield only had one midfielder Senna who purely helped defend, Alonso's defense ability was quite good. Coupled with Iniesta who was actively running and Kaka who is now increasingly active in defense, Mallorca's midfield can always provide sufficient protection for the back line.

Mallorca's defense line is actually quite a problem. Both full-backs are players who are better offensive than defense, and Ram and Macon are not top full-backs who have both offense and defense in a few years. In terms of central defenders, Mathias' turn and speed are his biggest flaws, while Mex is brave and stable enough. No wonder such a defensive partner always loses a lot of balls. It is actually a simple way to solve this situation. It is just to introduce that kind of top defender - however, this is not something Mallorca can buy easily. Future stars need time to train, such as Chielliniñago Silva and others are still struggling now. As for Nestasamuel Lucio Ferdinand...Mallorca really can't afford it.

Offensive players, you can allow them to make mistakes, but defensive players may make mistakes very serious. In terms of training guards, Jose has always been cautious, just like he used Mattias. After two seasons, he was able to help him become the main force. This is not only responsible for the team's performance, but also for the players themselves. Therefore, Jose has completely different requirements for offensive players and defensive players, which also causes Mallorca's offense to play very beautifully, almost reaching a peak, but it is difficult to continue attacking in defense, and it seems that he has lost a lot of goals due to tactical reasons.

After Mallorca gained the advantage of the midfield, they began to attack continuously. In the 24th minute, Kaka broke through and created a corner kick. Alonso took the corner kick. Mattias at the front point flicked, and Mex, who followed up in the middle, rushed to the top to score for Mallorca's first record!

Mex was quite excited after scoring the goal, and this was his first league goal of the season.

However, the excited Mex quickly made a mistake. After Espanyol launched a counterattack, his rash tackled Dani in the penalty area, and Espanyol received a penalty...

Mex, who was still extremely excited just now, spread his hands open with helpless look on his face. Jose shook his head off the court. He used Mex to use his courage, but brave players are definitely prone to make mistakes, which can be considered as gains and losses...

De La Pena came to take the penalty kick in person. When he walked into the penalty area, Cameni moved his arms and stood in front of the goal - he is a goalkeeper who is good at saving penalty kicks. However, in Mallorca, Mallorca rarely gives the opponent a chance to score penalty kicks. Most of their conceding goals are single shots or failing to stare at the opponent's forward in the penalty area to allow the opponent to shoot at close range. Cameni's performance opportunities also seem to be much less, because facing single shots and close shots, no matter how fast Cameni's reaction is, it is very likely that he will not be able to react in time.

Now this penalty kick...Cameni stretched his arms again.

De La Pena looked at Cameni, and Cameni's calm expression made him feel a little confused. However, as a technical midfielder, he is quite confident in his footwork, and he has always been a player who plays with his brain. He knows that Cameni's reaction is very fast, and the best way to deal with such a goalkeeper is to deceive his judgment.

He first stared at the left side of the goal and then glanced at the right side of the goal without paying attention. All of this was seen by Cameni, and he had a preliminary impression in his heart.

Dela Pena started running, then raised his right foot, twisted his body slightly, and took the position of shooting to the right side of the goal.

Cameni was indeed fooled. He began to prepare to pounce to the right side of the goal. However, at the moment of shooting, Dela Pena shook his ankle, changing the direction of his shot, and shot the ball directly towards the middle!

When the ball flew out, Cameni's body began to pounce to the right, and then Cameni found himself fooled - fortunately, one thing was that Dela Pena's shooting speed was very fast. Before Cameni had completely saved it, the ball had already flown in front of the goal. Cameni tried hard to stabilize the center of gravity, turned around and blocked the ball with one hand!

Cameni saved Dela Pena's penalty!

While cursing in his heart, Dela Pena rushed towards the ball flying back to the penalty area. He still had a chance to shoot! Facing the flying ball, Dela Pena raised his foot and continued to block the ball - he had no time to control the ball, because at this time Macon had rushed behind him, but facing an empty goal, raising his foot to block the ball back was enough to score...

At this time, Cameni, who had already fallen on the lawn, made a wonderful save. His left hand supported on the lawn, and then bounced up from the lawn. Cameni, who was in the air, stretched out his right hand and tried hard to hold it under the ball, pushing the ball directly out of the bottom line!

With two wonderful saves in a row, Cameni blocked the entire goal like a quick spider!

"Carlos-Cameni! Another black spider from Africa! Beautiful save!"

Cameni, who had climbed up from the lawn, waved his fists. This save made Espanyol's just-ignited hope of equalizing the score extinguished again, and at the same time boosted Mallorca's morale!

Mallorca's defenders ran over to hug Cameni, who waved his fists - as a goalkeeper, saving the opponent's penalty is the most noticeable moment! This situation is not common, and he also needs to celebrate to leave his highlights...

If Espanyol could still play against Mallorca before, then after Mallorca scored first and saved a penalty kick from the opponent, Espanyol's momentum began to decline, and Mallorca took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

In the 35th minute, Kaka threw away the opponent's defense while running, and then he received a pass from Iniesta. Seeing that no one came up to defend himself, he immediately swung his right foot and shot from the right side of the penalty area. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced into the penalty area. Kloze, who followed, was quick-eyed and quickly, and immediately pushed the ball and shot into the net, 2-0.

Fifteen minutes after the second half, Macon broke through on the right and tripped by the opponent's defender. He personally took the free kick from the right and passed it into the penalty area. Kaka, who inserted into the penalty area in front, grabbed the first landing point under the cover of Kloze Torres Matthias and others. In the small penalty area, he bent over and headed the ball against the falling ball, and headed the ball into the dead corner of the goal, three to zero!

This is Kaka's tenth goal this season, and he is also the second midfielder in La Liga this season to score double-digit goals - the first one is Riquelme, who scored the eleventh goal in the last round and performed quite well.

Jose clapped vigorously and then began to replace the main players with substitutes. Iniesta, Alonso and Cloze were all replaced. Farinos was allowed to play when the overall situation was decided. This was also a rainy day. After all, Farinos is Alonso's substitute. The substitutes at this position need to cooperate with their teammates to temporarily replace Alonso's position.

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Mallorca seized the opportunity to make up the game and won another stadium in Barcelona with a clean three-to-zero victory. This victory left Mallorca behind Barcelona with only three points. If they win in a face-to-face confrontation with Barcelona after one round, they will tie Barcelona with points and rely on their mutual victory and loss relationship to reach the top of the standings!
