Chapter 177 It's worth it
Jose was surprised that Matthias was comparable to Drogba in the second team training. If there was a training session with a similar level, the two of them would definitely improve faster - no matter what happened, if there was a similar level together, everything would improve faster.
Although it is not comparable in other aspects, physical confrontation is similar. Then, while physical confrontation, whether it is Matthias practicing defense or Drogba practicing shooting, the progress will definitely be much faster than usual.
"Should Matthias be transferred to the first team? At least Drogba has an opponent in his usual training." Jose thought came to his mind. Although Mallorca's central defenders each have their own strengths, they are also very difficult to defend Drogba. Gamara is not tall enough, Nadal is old, although Van Biten is outstanding, he is far inferior to Drogba in terms of strength, and Nino. Drogba really can't find a defender in the first team who can compete with him.
However, after thinking about it, Jose gave up this idea. From the feedback point of view, although Mattias is young now, he can already play as the main player in the second team. He can gain enough experience in the second team and face the impact of various types of forwards. This is much more important for him than training. He is eager to transfer him to the first team and has no game to play, which is not good.
Cultivating young players is also a very particular thing to do.
But thinking about it, Matthias's outstanding body has been going from Real Madrid youth team to Getafe youth team and not being valued. Jose's luck is really good.
There should be some reason, Jose thought in his heart.
The schedule is still relatively intensive now. Jose plans to talk to Matthias at the beginning of the winter break. At least you need to understand his past. Sometimes, training players cannot be just from the technical level or the psychological level - Matthias can't survive in so many places, is he personally having some problems? This is what Jose wants to know.
After two consecutive important victories, Mallorca's performance began to stabilize before the winter break.
In the 15th round of the league, Mallorca challenged Valencia away and finally tied the opponent with his fifth goal in the last four games. Luke's form has been surprisingly good recently, especially in the home game against La Coruña, his two goals directly smashed the opponent. It is said that the national team has considered recruiting this local scorer.
In the next second round of the Champions League group stage, Mallorca defeated Portugal's Boa Vista cleanly at home, winning all two games to occupy the first place in the group, while Bayern defeated Nantes with one goal away, regaining the unfavorable situation caused by the defeat in the first round.
With both wins, Mallorca's prospects for qualifying are promising. After this game, the Champions League will be temporarily suspended and will not reopen until the end of February next year. Mallorca can focus all its attention on domestic leagues and cups.
Jose is still the same rule. He uses the main force in the league and the substitute in the cup. He then played two consecutive league games and two cup games. In the league, he defeated Malaga 2-1 at home and tied Betis 1-1 away. He won ten wins, four draws and three losses in the 17th round of the league and gained 34 points, leading the second-ranked Real Madrid three-pointer. In the next round, as long as they do not lose to Real Madrid at home, they can win the winter championship of this season!
With most of the substitutes sent out in the two games of the Cup, Mallorca still eliminated the Spanish Second Division team Sporting Gijon and advanced to the fourth round of the Copa del Rey. Their opponent in the fourth round will be Athletic Bilbao.
"Take Real Madrid and we'll have a happy Christmas together!"
Real Madrid quickly got on track after their stumbling early in the season. Although they won only two games in nine league rounds and lost two games in the early stages of the season, they won seven of them in seven of the next eight league games, and they had already won five consecutive games in the league before coming to Mallorca - the longest winning streak of all La Liga teams this season.
However, Mallorca fans firmly believe that their team can win this game, because in the game coached by Jose, Mallorca has maintained a total of 42 home games! Among them, 30 league games, four Champions League games, five King's Cup, and three League Cups! Such a top record makes Mallorca fans firmly believe that even if Real Madrid has won five consecutive games, it is completely impossible to compare with Mallorca who has won forty-two consecutive games!
Five consecutive victories vs forty-two consecutive victories. The former represents an excellent state during this period, while the latter represents a tradition that has gradually formed at the St. Mois Stadium!
"Fuck, it's a lot of pressure."
Looking at the overwhelming discussion in the newspaper, Jose scratched his head - Real Madrid has now completely gone out of the early stage of the season. Boske's virtual left forward and the tactic of putting two midfielders in the midfield has been completely formed. Although Jose is not afraid of Real Madrid, it is not easy to defeat such a Real Madrid.
Although Jose knew that Real Madrid's record was still average when they had seven superstars in the future, it was Real Madrid without Bosque and Marklele. Bosque was the helmsman who led the team forward, and Marklele was the most important figure in balancing the team's offense and defense. Without these two people, Real Madrid could no longer fully play the level of those superstars, and could no longer deal with the opponent's fierce pressing and quick counterattack.
Now both of these people are here, and it is really difficult to defeat this team, especially when they are fully engaged and have a strong morale, it is almost impossible to defeat them. They can only defeat them with their strength.
But in the past two years, there are very few teams that can do this, really few...
Although he was nervous, Jose could never decide the loss without playing the game. Although he had no bottom line for this game, he also began to feel that the record of winning at home had gradually become an invisible pressure for himself and the entire Mallorca team, but he still hoped to win this game.
If you win this game, Mallorca will lead Real Madrid by six points, which is a big number.
Winning streaks are honor and pressure, but there will be pressure no matter what game, and there will be pressure no matter what coach.
Under the gaze of Spain, this game that involves two winning streaks, which can continue, kicks off!
What no one expected was that the final result of this game was a loss-loss-two winning records were terminated at the same time-Mallorca was tied by Real Madrid 1-1 at home, Jose coached for forty-two home wins-games were terminated, and Real Madrid also stopped the pace of winning all the last five rounds of the league!
In the first half, both sides tied. Etoo and Morientes missed an excellent opportunity, and the midfield battle between both sides also became the highlight of the court. Ronaldo showed excellent offensive ability, while Zidane interpreted the existence of his football master in another way. Both sides created many opportunities and blocked many scoring opportunities for the opponent. Although they failed to score, the first half was still very exciting.
Ten minutes after the second half, Real Madrid's frontcourt flag Raul scored a goal for Real Madrid. After receiving Zidane's beautiful pass, he turned around and shot in the penalty area, breaking Franco's ten fingers and opening the first record for Real Madrid!
After this goal occurred, Mallorca immediately launched a fierce counterattack!
After continuous attacks, in the 68th minute of the game, the 13th minute after Real Madrid scored a goal, Luke, who had been in extremely outstanding form recently, received a pass from Etoo and scrambled in front of Elgra at the first time, equalizing the score for Mallorca!
When Luke scored, the entire St. Mois Stadium immediately cheered!
"Luke equalized the score! Mallorca is really strong now. Real Madrid scored the goal and can still get the score back so quickly... The two Spaniards, Raul and Luke! In the recent years of foreign aids, it is really gratifying to have so many Spanish scorers! After contributing Tristan a year ago, Mallorca once again contributed a local shooter Luke! From this perspective alone, Mallorca deserves respect!"
Almost all Spanish commentators gave praise to Mallorca. Mallorca's previous performance was enough to make them full of confidence. Mallorca fans also have great confidence, but...
In the next twenty minutes, Mallorca, who was crazy, had an absolute advantage on the field, constantly launching attacks through the midfield, and at the same time, the fierce tackles started in the midfield made Real Madrid's offense difficult. After intercepting the ball, he immediately launched an attack and kept shooting!
But Real Madrid's current defense is quite outstanding.
There is Maclale's protection for the replacement at the front of the penalty area, and there is a Gremi who runs actively around to help sweep. Elgra is strong in the penalty area and defends fiercely. Jero is experienced and experienced. When Salgado and Carlos on both wings do not assist, their defense is complete and effective, plus a Casillas who is in such an excellent state...
Within twenty minutes, Casillas made four effective saves, including Etoo's close-range shot, which was also magically saved from the bottom line!
When Jose saw Casillas once again pulling out the crossbar with his fingers with his fingers, he sighed in his heart - he knew that maybe he could not get this game...
However, at this time Jose was not very disappointed, but felt a very relaxed feeling.
Being burdened with a complete victory - it is actually very tiring. The more you achieve something that makes people look up to, the more you can bring great pressure.
"If you can't win, you can't win... Maybe it will make the players lose the fighting spirit that must win, but it will also prevent them from bearing extra pressure... If you can't win all, it's good to stay unbeaten." Jose thought happily in pain.
However, he did not give up. Krashnich and Novo, who had been replaced continuously, wanted to strengthen the attack, but Real Madrid began to retreat at this time. It seemed that Boske wanted to save this point.
Maintaining a draw is just a three-point gap from Mallorca. As long as it is not a loss, this seems to be an acceptable result - after all, in the past forty-two games, any team visiting this stadium will only suffer one loss!
Boske succeeded. When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the disappointed sighs of Mallorca fans echoed in the stadium. Although they were still unbeaten at home, their record of winning at home was frozen in forty-two games!
This is Jose's personal record, but the termination of this record has made Mallorca fans extremely disappointed!
