Chapter five hundred and forty-eight missed opportunity
Update time: 2012-09-20
I have to say that Mallorca's assistant coaches seem a little unconventional now. Although Mallorca is ahead now, they are at a disadvantage in the field. Villarreal, who now controls the midfielder, although Mallorca comes first, the situation is not optimistic...
Compared with Mallorca, who is distracted in the Champions League, Villarreal, who is only focused on playing the league, is naturally much easier. They have an excellent main lineup, but the bench thickness is not enough, which leads to their unstable performance in the league. However, when all their main lineups are on the court and can perform well, their ability to show is not inferior to any top team - being able to beat Barcelona three-to-zero and not perform much in Barcelona's offense is a good evidence.
After the game restarted, Villarreal was not affected much, but continued to attack based on the midfield. Riquelme was still very excited. He had a large range of movement, kept running around and then passed the ball after receiving a pass from his teammates. In this way, he was similar to Alonso, but he was in a higher position and was under more defensive pressure, but he did not do worse than Alonso.
In addition to the organization, his free kicks and direct assists are his trump card - Riquelme has been the best Riquelme in recent years, and even better than when he was in Argentina - after all, he has to face opponents who are stronger than those in South America!
Under Riquelme's organization, Villarreal's offense began to become fierce. Mallorca wanted to seize control of the midfield, but was at a disadvantage in this regard, which made Villarreal's offenses appear to be more and more, especially Fran. After Torres scored, he seemed to be stimulated. After receiving the ball far away from the goal, he began to unreasonably shoot long shots. His long shots are quite distinctive and can often score world-like goals. Under Riquelme's involvement, Mallorca's midfielder's attention is mostly on Riquelme, and often cannot stop Fran's long shots at the first time, which also makes the long-haired Uruguayan more and more excited.
Fortunately, Cameni's performance today is also quite good. He is also a game-type goalkeeper. His quick reaction and agility are his characteristics. This goalkeeper may easily make mistakes, but after his condition comes out, it makes people feel difficult to deal with. Fran's several very threatening long shots were all rushed out one by one. His posture of saving long shots was quite graceful. Often when Fran's long shots flew out from under his feet, he had already judged the route of flying the ball, and then flew up gracefully, stretching his body as much as possible in the air, and then stretching out his arms to block the ball. His figure is also quite standard, and when he snatches out, it makes others feel quite pleasing to the eye. So although he looks a little ugly, it still arouses cheers from some female fans when he flies out...
After several long shots, Fran was a little tired - you should know that long shots are also a very tiring job. It is easy to gather all your body strength to shoot, but it is difficult to do. If you shoot a few times, you will feel very tired (this seems a bit obscene). After several heavy shots, Fran began to feel that his physical fitness was declining rapidly...
Theoretically speaking, how much strength you use to shoot, how much strength your feet have to bear. This is also one of the reasons why the player's shooting speed cannot be increased to a particularly high level - even if it is just a cortical sphere, if you kick it hard, your feet will hurt...
After resisting Villarreal's attack during this period, Mallorca began to attack. Because he was involved in Riquelme, Alonso's forward attacks decreased a lot, and he began to pass the ball more to Puerta and Kaka to launch an attack. On the forward line, Gu Isa, who has not played many times this season, seems a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the game. He just kept running in the frontcourt, but it did not help the attack.
Torres seemed very active, but Villarreal defended him very closely. His several times of getting the ball away were blocked by the opponent's double attacks. Puerta made several crosses on the wing, but was blocked by Renner, who was in time to attack.
In the first half, Mallorca took the lead in the score, but Villarreal's attacks were more frequent, which made them get warm applause from Villarreal's fans when they were over. This team has brought enough surprises to fans this season!
"Look at the performance of these fans on the stage... do you feel familiar? A few years ago, when we started to bring more surprises and win more, our fans treated us the same way... Although it has become a normal state for us to win now, the attitudes of the fans have never changed! Be vigilant, this is a respectable opponent, they are walking the path we have taken before... We have to kill this opponent in the bud! In the second half, we must focus on Riquelme, suppress Solin and Casorla, so that their two forwards have no chance to catch the ball! Mohamed, in the second half, you replace Daniel and entangle Riquelme, and you can't let this dangerous guy continue! Stay tuned to him, victory is ours!"
During the halftime break, Jose took the lead in changing someone else and replaced Guísa with Sissoko - this does not mean that he wants to transfer the team to defense, but just makes targeted adjustments. After Sissoko comes on the court, Alonso can be completely freed to participate in the offense. Although there is one striker missing, his offensive ability will not decline much.
Gu Isa left the game with a little dejected look. For him, he failed this good opportunity. I don’t know if there are any other opportunities... He is almost twenty-five years old now, but he can only serve as a substitute in Mallorca. Although the salary is not bad, the honors he has won are incomparable to other teams, but it is not a big deal to be a substitute...
"Daniel, come and sit here."
At the beginning of the second half, Jose waved and shouted Guysa: "I know you don't think you performed well in the first half... But in fact, you have the strength and performed well in some games. You didn't perform well in this game. There is only one main reason. You forgot what you are best at."
Guysa, who sat down beside him obediently, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded unconsciously - indeed, his characteristic is actually scoring. His footwork is not very good, and his ability to confrontation is not particularly outstanding. Running and then finding opportunities to shoot is what he is best at. However, in the first half, he wanted to retreat like Torres to get the ball and then attack. This is not what he is good at, so his performance naturally looks quite average!
"Remember, there are still many things that have not been used to this characteristic of yours. Although you are not young, you will never be able to make progress again... Your characteristic is also very important to us. Do you still remember how magical Solskjaer is? I think you actually have this potential. Be patient when you are on the bench and learn to observe more. Do you understand?" Jose continued.
Guysa nodded vigorously. The conversation between Jose and him made him full of hope again - the boss still valued me, and he still had high expectations for me...
On the court, after Sissoko took the field, Riquelme's performance began to become quiet. Although Riquelme's rhythm changes are quite outstanding, Sissoko no matter how he, an art master, changes the rhythm, he just follows Riquelme tightly. His physical fitness is better than Riquelme and runs faster than Riquelme - nothing is easier than destruction. Riquelme, who can't even get the ball, quickly became silent...
The football field was originally rising and falling. After Riquelme was silent, Mallorca's offense, whose defensive pressure was reduced, began to gradually open up. Although only Torres was the striker, Alonso's continuous forwarding began to make Mallorca's offense more flexible.
In the 75th minute, Alonso caught the attention of the opponent's defender and knocked the ball to Kaka. Kaka took the ball and turned around and pretended to shoot, but directly passed a diagonal pass on the ground to the right side of the penalty area. Maicon, who was inserted at high speed, rushed into Villarreal's penalty area like a bullet, and then took the ball forward, then faced the attacking goalkeeper Renner, and pushed the ball forward while running!
Mallorca overtakes the score!
Jose breathed a sigh of relief, and the news came from another stadium was that Barcelona and Espanyol were still zero to zero. If the score was maintained until the end of the game, Mallorca would reduce the points behind Barcelona to one point...
Now Mallorca fans are beginning to think Villarreal is cute - they defeated Barcelona and narrowed the gap between three points, and then lost to Mallorca and narrowed the gap between two points. If they win the championship in the end, Mallorca has to thank Villarreal...
But for Villarreal, they didn't want Mallorca's thanks.
They launched a crazy counterattack. Although Riquelme was under the close guard of Sissoko, they relied on two sides to launch an attack. Thorin kept rushing up and down on the left. His running strongly supported Villarreal's attack. Although Cazorla's breakthrough was not much, he was waiting for an opportunity.
When the game reached the 84th minute, Cazorla suddenly received a pass from Tachinadi on the right side, and then used a beautiful breakthrough to get rid of Ram who had the advantage before facing him!
Ram turned around and wanted to return to defense, but Casorla dribbled the ball very quickly. Ram couldn't catch up with him for a while, and he easily got down the bottom and then made a cross!
Cassora's cross had a strong rotation. After Cassori made a jump, he found that the ball was flying too high and he seemed to be unable to get it. Cassori, who knew that he was a little rash in his attack, struggled to jump, but his fingers still touched the ball. The ball jumped up and then landed to the back point...
Fran, who was forward, completed the shot before Mex blocked! He easily pushed the ball into the empty goal, and Villarreal tied the score again!
Two to two! This is the final score of the game. When the final whistle sounded, Jose shook his head regretfully - in another game, Barcelona was tied by Espanyol 0 to zero, but Mallorca failed to seize this good opportunity. The gap between them and Barcelona is still three points...
ps: I am so tired that I owe my brothers a chapter, and I will make up for it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow...
Chapter completed!
