A Run Of Games [RCD Mallorca] 2
The halftime whistle blew, and the scoreline remained locked at 0-0. Frustration hung thick in the air as the home fans murmured amongst themselves.
The home side had shown promise, but their attack lacked sharpness and imagination. Mallorca's disciplined defence and well-organized counterattacks made it clear that they wouldn't go down easily.
The tension in the stands was palpable—until a figure emerged from the tunnel with the rest of the starters.
Izan.
The announcement of his name by the stadium announcer sent a wave of excitement through the crowd.
The visiting fans looked at the source of the Valencian crowd's happiness and found Izan. The Mallorca fans knew who he was, as almost everyone in Spain would know if they weren't under a rock.
His knack for transforming matches with his electric pace, creative flair, and pinpoint accuracy had made him the team's golden boy.
