Chapter 805: Jose's Declaration

Update time: 2013-01-08

Mallorca beat Sevilla 4-3 at home, with a total score of 4-4 in two rounds. However, because of few away goals, he lost the Spanish Super Cup championship. When Sevilla's players celebrated wildly at the Conch Stadium, Mallorca's fans felt a little lost...

They have become accustomed to Mallorca winning one championship after another. Although it seems like a surprise to lose this championship, no matter whether it is an accident or not, one championship is missing, one championship is missing...

Sometimes the dynasty established by a powerful team does not collapse overnight, but loses one or two seemingly trivial champions first. Although it is not important, it means that their dominance has begun to shake, and then one or two important and critical losses will lead to a chain reaction...

Just like the demise of the powerful Han Dynasty, it was not just because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Before that, the Qiang people caused rebellion, the Xianbei rose, and the Party and Prison Rebellion had shaken the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was just an inducement to finally give a heavy blow.

Will the failure of this seemingly unimportant Spanish Super Cup be the beginning of the collapse of the Mallorca dynasty? No one knows.

Mallorca did not react much to this. They were just waiting for the start of the La Liga. On August 26, Mallorca would face Levante at home in the first round of La Liga.

"After losing a Super Cup, many people think we are not good at all. So let's tell everyone in the next game that Mallorca not only has no failure, but also has become stronger than before." Jose only said this after losing the Super Cup in Spain.

Levante ranked 15th in La Liga last season, leading only the eighteenth place in relegation Celta, three-pointer. Betis and Athletic Bilbao behind them were extremely thrilling to relegate. Their points were both forty, while Celta's points were thirty-nine.

They still gained some gains in the transfer market this season. They loaned goalkeeper Storari from AC Milan, loaned center Rigano from Messina, and free transfer from relegated Real Sociedad to introduce former Real Madrid's Brazilian winger Savio, which has been strengthened to a certain extent. However, compared with Mallorca, if Mallorca is a behemoth, then they are just a little ant...

Jose continued to rotate in this game, with goalkeeper Van der Sar, defenders Macon, Puerta, Matthias and Pepe, midfielders Alonso, Barack and Kaka, forwards Henry, Torres and Iniesta, continuing to use a three-forward-striker lineup.

At his home court, Mallorca never played conservatively, and the large number of conceded goals against Sevilla before did not make them lose their offense. To be honest, Sevilla's three goals in the last game were lucky, one was the mistake of Mallorca's defender. If they dared not attack at their home court for this reason, then Mallorca would not be qualified to win so many championships in the previous game!

Levante could only shrink his defense to deal with Mallorca's attack, but he still could not resist Mallorca's offensive. They only lasted for twenty-four minutes. Iniesta dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was knocked down by the opponent's defender. The referee decisively awarded a penalty. Kaka took the penalty kick in one shot, one to zero!

After taking the lead, Mallorca played even more easily. In just nine minutes of the second half, Mallorca initiated a wonderful attack. Alonso passed the ball forward in the midfield, Torres cleverly headed the ball. Henry, who was inserted at high speed on the left, instantly got rid of the opponent's defender. After receiving Torres' header, he broke into the penalty area. Facing Storari was attacking with his right foot and shot the far corner of the goal, and then opened his arms and rushed to the stands...

"The ball is in! Thierry Henry! The first goal in the official game for Mallorca! We can see that after Henry joined, Mallorca's offensive speed and breakthrough ability in the frontcourt have been added to a higher level. Mallorca will become even more terrible now, because Henry's speed can play a huge role in counterattack... Those saying that Mallorca is no longer able to do it are shit. Mallorca is the most powerful time now. Jose has a headache about how to arrange so many offensive players, not to mention that Ronaldo may recover from injury at the end of the year. How should he arrange so many top players at that time..."

The commentator on the scene caused a burst of laughter from the fans of Mallorca in the stands. He was right. Mallorca has too many good players in the frontcourt now, Torres, Cloze, Henry, Ronaldo, Iniesta, Silva, Kaka, Barack, Alonso... All the old, middle-aged and young players are all, and their own characteristics are all gathered in Mallorca. Although Mallorca's salary expenditure has increased a lot, Mallorca has become so powerful.

Compared with Real Madrid during the Galaxy Warship period, Mallorca's current gathering of stars is not inferior! Real Madrid was bullied, right? It was just seven superstars. What about Mallorca now? The superstars in the frontcourt have to take turns to play. Although some are old, their abilities and strength are still there...

Looking at Mallorca's roster, many people feel scared. No wonder Real Madrid and Barcelona are buying people crazy this season. Real Madrid has now bought four star players, Robben, Sneider, Drent and Heinze, and spent a total of nearly 90 million euros. In addition to the free transfer, Metzeld and Saviola have also been very blood-changed this season. At the same time, they fired Capello and invited Schuster, who had performed well in Getafe last season, and they wanted to compete with Mallorca this season.

What about Barcelona? Gabriel Milito, Abidal and Yaya Toure together spent nearly 50 million euros. At the same time, they kept Jiuli. In terms of offense, they still think they are very strong and only need to strengthen defense. The joining of Milito, Abidal and Yaya Toure proves this.

Another team that spent money was another team in Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Fran, Cymour, Raul Garcia, Luis Garcia, Reyes and Mota, who joined them for more than 70 million yuan. These three teams alone had spent more than 200 million yuan in cash in the transfer market. If Mallorca hadn't brought them too much pressure, would they have bleed so much? Don't joke...

After leading two goals, Mallorca's offense did not stop his pace, but began to suppress the opponent. Although Jose replaced Silva, Senna and Riser continuously, their offenses were still suppressing.

In the 72nd minute, Torres scored the third goal for Mallorca. After receiving a straight pass from Barack, he broke into the penalty area and quickly shot and scored the ball into the near corner of the goal. Three to zero, Mallorca won a complete victory at home.

When the game ended, Mallorca fans welcomed their heroes with enthusiastic cheers. This season, Mallorca's home court, the Conch Stadium, was different from last season. This summer, Mallorca expanded the Conch Stadium - this was no problem at all. When the stadium was built, Jose left enough capacity. If it was fully expanded, the number of people in the stadium could increase to 80,000. If it was to be expanded, there was enough space left under the roof of the stadium, which was enough to make the entire stadium a super stadium with a capacity of more than 90,000 people and close to the capacity area of ​​Camp Nou!

However, if such a large stadium is not enough, it will look ugly if it is empty. So at the beginning, the Conch Stadium only had 58,000 seats, and the expansion of the stadium was left. This time, it did not cost too much, and the stadium capacity was expanded by 8,000 people, increasing its capacity to 66,000. In the entire La Liga, there are only Camp Nou, which can accommodate 98,000 people and Bernabeu, which can accommodate 80,000 people, which can accommodate 80,000 people, which can accommodate 80,000 people, which can accommodate 80,000 people. In fact, before the expansion, the Conch Stadium was already the third largest stadium in La Liga teams. You should know that the third largest was Atletico Madrid's Calderon Stadium, which had a capacity of only 55,000 people, and Mestalia of Valencia could only accommodate 50,000 people.

After the expansion, the first thing we welcomed was not the UEFA that Mallorca did as soon as possible, but the fans of Mallorca - because the 66,000-person stadium can also be quickly filled, which can greatly alleviate the situation of difficult tickets for important games in Mallorca. The sale rate of package tickets is higher, and the general ticket sales can also meet the needs of more Mallorca fans. Of course, what is even happier is that Mallorca Club has an additional 8,000 seats, which means that millions of euros will be added to a year...

In fact, how to master the capacity of a stadium is also a matter that needs to be considered seriously. You should know that expanding the stadium is not a one-time transaction. The money is spent. The more seats there are on the stadium, the more expenses it will be for management and maintenance of the stadium. If a stadium can accommodate 60,000 people and have an average attendance rate of 50,000, this can be built. However, if there is only 30,000 occupancy rate, a large part of the ticket revenue will be used to repair the stadium, which is also very unfavorable to the development of the club. No matter how fast Mallorca is developing now, it has only a population of more than one million. According to the proportion of the 20-to-1 fan population, a stadium with more than 60,000 people is already very suitable. If it is not good to build a stadium with a maximum of 10,000 people, it will be more costly to maintain it.

You should know that Madrid has a population of three million and its members are close to 100,000, so the Bernabeu, which has 80,000 people, can fill it, while Barcelona alone has more than one million people, and the total population of Catalonia is more than seven million! Barcelona has more than one hundred thousand members, and they are not worried about the dissatisfaction of the Camp Nou. In fact, if it is not for the purpose of meeting the specifications of the UEFA game and cannot arrange station tickets, Barcelona will not have adjusted the Camp Nou from a seat that can accommodate 105,000 people to the current 95,000 people...

In fact, when the Bernabeu was built, it could accommodate 120,000 people, and when the Camp Nou was built, it could accommodate 130,000 people, which shows how crazy these guys were at that time...

"This summer we left six players and joined five players, and at least three of them were possible to enter the main lineup. In this case, of course, I need to examine their abilities and status to prepare for the next game. During the adjustment process, the players' state and performance will certainly have some ups and downs, which is normal... If someone thinks we are not good for these reasons, then we don't mind using the next performance to make them suffer. Mallorca will never be snatched away by the same opponent in a row. I am now looking forward to the September 1st game." Jose said at a press conference after the game.
