Chapter 584 Mendieta's Desire
When the time came to 3:00 pm, ten La Liga matches began at the same time. What attracts attention is three games - Mallorca vs Real Betis, Barcelona vs Real Sociedad, Villarreal vs Levante - the first two games are related to the title of the league, and the next game is related to who the fourth team enters the Champions League next season, and also to the result of the quota of the League Cup - if Betis enters the Champions League, then only the fifth and sixth places can enter the League Cup. Osasuna will win or lose in the final of the Cup. The importance of these games can be regarded as a move that can affect the whole body.
Betis, who was the first to kick off the ball, launched an attack. They did not test it, but directly distributed the ball to Joaquin on the wing, allowing the number one golden boy to attack.
Maikong tangled up - maybe his speed was not as fast as Joaquin, but his body was the best way to deal with Joaquin - in such a final, Maikong was not polite at all. Just as Joaquin was about to accelerate, Maikong knocked out of the bottom line by a powerful collision...
The player Joaquin became famous at a young age, had excellent talent, and had a speed that others could not reach. However, his biggest flaw is that he was like a flower in a greenhouse, without being baptized by storms, debuted too early and was too smooth, so that he would be unable to recover after a little setback. This is also one of the factors that he failed to achieve greater achievements in the future. His personality is not the kind of person who is getting stronger and stronger. After being so fiercely Maicon came here at the beginning, his arrogance quickly faded. Although he did not perform well because of the importance of this game, he did not perform well, but he also lost the spirit of the beginning.
This approach was instructed by Joseph. If Joaquin had been in Mallorca from the beginning, he would naturally use various methods to make Joaquin become better than in history. However, Joaquin is not his player now. If he has weaknesses, he naturally needs to make good use of it!
Although Macon's foul gave the opponent a free kick, the free kick near the sideline did not create any good opportunities. Matthias jumped high to clear the ball, and Mallorca launched a fierce counterattack!
Farinos quickly passed the ball to Kaka in front, Kaka was about to drive the ball forward, and Real Betis' players returned to defend quickly. Seeing that there was not much opportunity to counterattack, Kaka chose to pass the ball back and forth. Mallorca began to step back and forth in the midfield, constantly dispatching back and forth in the midfield, slowing down the rhythm of the attack.
Jose never thought about having a round-trip battle with Real Betis. This is what Betis is good at. They are good at running, so they have to tie their legs!
Real Betis' midfield defense is not particularly outstanding. Joaquin basically does not participate in the defense. Assongsang's top-level free kick can only be considered average. Arzu is diligent, but not particularly outstanding. Edu's offensive ability and running are good, but he is an attacking midfielder and it is difficult to make too much contribution to defense.
Betis' Brazil international De Nielsen sat on the bench. The Brazilian was still in a bad state. Ferrer dared not send him to the field. There was already a Joaquin who didn't defend much. If De Nielsen on the left wing, then Betis' midfield would not have much resistance, and being easily suppressed by Mallorca's midfield would become inevitable. In that case, it would be too unfavorable for Betis.
Ferrer also knew that this game would not be that simple, so they made sufficient preparations before the game, and entangled with Mallorca in the midfield was also a kind of preparation...
Mallorca passed back and forth, and Betis's players kept their positions firmly. Although their defense was not very good, that was relatively common. After all, they were all professional players. As long as they stood in their own position, they could still deal with Mallorca who had no offensive power to some extent.
The two sides started an entanglement in the midfield - in this entanglement, time passed quickly. When the game was twenty minutes old, there was a commotion in Betis's coaching bench, and then an assistant coach rushed to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Levante led Villarreal one-to-zero! We have hope!"
Jose raised his brows and then smiled slightly - the game started for such a little while, he didn't think Levante, who had been relegated early, would have the fighting spirit to maintain the leading advantage until the end of the game, and Villarreal's offensive power was enough to smooth out this gap in an instant...
However, no matter what, this news really greatly stimulated Betis' players. Their running quickly increased a lot. After resisting a attack from Mallorca, they quickly launched a counterattack!
Hua Jin also threw everything away and began to break through quickly along the side road. Mai Kong stuck up. The two were entangled. According to Jose's tactical arrangement, Mai Kong kept rushing against Hua Jin with his body. However, after all, he was in a very good condition and was not the glass man later. Although he was constantly hit by Mai Kong's body, he insisted on taking the ball to a deeper place. Then, relying on his agility, he stopped and dodged the pass, and raised his foot to pass the ball to the middle.
Under the involvement of Fernando and Oliveira, Edou, who was inserted in the back row, got the ball and then planned to take a long shot immediately. Senna, who had withdrawn, made a quick decision and pulled down his Brazilian compatriots. The referee's whistle sounded, and the free kick was 27 meters away from the goal, and the position was in the center.
"This foul is a bit unprofitable..." Jose couldn't help but mutter. It was not that he was too demanding, but because Betis had a freak who could punish free kicks. Asongsang is not very good, but at some point it makes people feel a headache. The shooting rate of 30% of the free kicks at the front of the penalty area is enough to make any team feel terrified.
Come whatever you are afraid of - Asson did not disappoint Betis' fans. The free kick he sent with his left foot drew a beautiful arc in the air, directly bypassing the jumping wall, and then flew into the dead corner of the goal before Cameni rushed over - no matter from any angle, it was a textbook free kick!
"Luckily, this guy's other level is very average, otherwise even if he has 80% of Senna's defensive ability, his value can reach 30 million with this free kick skill!" Natal next to him couldn't help sighing. Mallorca was also one of the victims of Assongsang in the past two seasons. He scored with a direct free kick last season, and this season he encountered it again...
"It doesn't matter, this guy is just a double-edged sword. His lack of personal ability is destined to use his team to surprise him in free kicks. I will not use such a player, unless he gets a free kick when the game is about to end. He can only be the most useful... Betis asked him to play a single midfielder, no wonder he lost so many goals." Jose sneered, then called Ram and said in his ear: "Phillip, tell everyone on the field that the offense is more concentrated in the middle, and just hit the point of the guy who is celebrating!"
As soon as Jose said this, Assongsan was in trouble. While he was still immersed in the joy of scoring, Mallorca's attack, which had re-activated, had quietly begun. He no longer kept entangled with Betis in the midfield like before, but immediately began to attack the poor Assongsan, whether it was Kaka or Iniesta, or even Farinos and Mendeta who were in the front...
Asongsang can only be regarded as an ordinary defensive midfielder. His confrontation is not very good, his footwork is average, and he has no sense of attacking forward. It is just that the free kick is surprising, otherwise he would not have been able to gain a foothold in Rome. Although two of these players in Mallorca are substitutes, even substitutes like Farros and Mendeta are substitutes who "has been rich before", and there is no big problem with him...
After being attacked by Mallorca's players in turn, Assongsan immediately became distracted. Although Edu kept pulling back and helping him defend, he could not stop Mallorca's offense. While constantly passing through the midfield, Mallorca's offense also began to face Betis's defense directly!
Originally, Jose didn't want to use this offensive method, but there was no striker on the court, and such a style of play was inefficient. Now both sides have been entangled in the midfield for a long time, and Betis's defense line has not been hit too much. Now, a sudden impact will probably achieve better results!
Sure enough, after five minutes of attack, Mallorca equalized the score!
Farinos, who had been assisting forward, broke through Assonsan's defense, and then passed the ball to Kaka at the front of the penalty area. Kaka raised his foot and passed the ball to Iniesta who was inserted from the side. Then he ran into the penalty area. Iniesta raised his foot and seemed to be trying to pass a high-altitude pass and handed it to the penalty area. When Betis's defense subconsciously retreated, he shook his ankle and directly passed the ball to the front of the penalty area...
Jun Dietta, who rushed up from a diagonal line, appeared in front of the ball, then swung his right foot, pulled the ball hard, and flew into the penalty area on the ground, and then rushed into the goal quickly before the goalkeeper fell to the ground!
"Beautiful goal! Mendeta! His current state has almost returned to his peak state in Valencia... It's so exciting, Mallorca equalized the score! With several main players absent, Mallorca's signings this summer have shown excellent form. It is their outstanding performance that gives Mallorca a chance to win three consecutive league championships! Whether it is Farinos and Mendeta who have become famous before, or the young player Puerta, they have become important players of Mallorca. We have every reason to believe that Mallorca will be even better next season, because they not only have an excellent main lineup, but also have enough bench thickness, which is very important..."
Amid the excited shouts of the commentator, Mendeta waved his fist and asked who was more eager for this championship. I am afraid no one could be more eager than Mendeta. He is now thirty-one years old and has achieved brilliant achievements, but has not won a heavyweight championship yet. At the peak of Valencia, he passed by the Champions League and the league championship. After transferring to Serie A, he completely missed the honor. However, he won the League Cup championship with Middlesbrough last season, but Mendeta still longed for the honor of the league championship!
