Chapter 19 Three consecutive victories are just around the corner

"In the 22nd round of La Liga in the 99-00 season, Mallorca defeated Numancia 2-0 away and won the first two-game winning streak in the league this season... Under the new coach Jose? After Alemani took office, Mallorca's performance has been completely new! In the last two games, they scored five goals and did not concede a goal. This round tied the opponent and scored one point. Mallorca is still at the bottom of the points. However, their 18 points make them only one point away from the previous Sevilla. With Mallorca's current momentum, maybe You will soon be able to get rid of the position of deputy squad leader of the league... I have to say that the management of Mallorca made a good move. When the team was in trouble, they decisively replaced the head coach who could no longer lead the team forward Gomez, and replaced the youngest head coach in La Liga, Jose Alemani. I have to say, this move is quite a bit of a move that does not shy away from relatives. You must know that Jose Alemani is The biological son of Mallorca executive chairman Matteo Alemani, the father and son are in charge of a club at both the club and the team level. It has never happened in La Liga before, and Jose has indeed done a good job. In less than half a month, the defense has been stabilized and firepower has been increased. Although the young forward Diego Tristan's performance in the first half of the season was not bad, he only scored five goals. Since Ser took office, he has scored three goals in two games. The young striker who participated in La Liga for the first time has already attracted the attention of many strong teams. A new star is rising..."

After returning from Numancia, the reports on Jose and his Mallorca began to increase-it was like this, a team won only three games in the whole first half of the season, and the bottom of the points almost booked a relegation It is already a big gimmick for the team with the quota to win two games in a row after the coaching change. Coupled with the sensation brought about by the Alemani and his sons jointly in charge of a club, the media even more It is also normal for the media to pay attention-of course, if Jose does not perform well in the next coaching performance, the enthusiasm of the media will soon fade away.

Of course, Jose is quite clear about this-the media has always been the most aggressive and forgetful. If a coach can only make some gimmicks, he may be able to get a lot of attention at the beginning, but this kind of attention But it will dissipate quickly. If you want to maintain the appearance rate, you have to keep getting results, let the reporters know that the coach is capable, and then they will surround you like flies...

Thanks to Gomez, he lost the Copa del Rey in the first half of the season, so Jose only needs to focus more on the league and the UEFA Cup. The league is the most important thing, and success in relegation is the most urgent thing. The UEFA Cup is an honor that can be icing on the cake, and its importance in Jose's mind is naturally not comparable to that of the league.

Therefore, after the UEFA Cup re-registration started in the second half of the season, Jose did not make any adjustments to the entry list. It was just that Eto'o, who was newly loaned, was topped off. He was seriously injured in the first half of the season and will miss all the remaining games of the season. Biaghini, and then let the striker Luke in the second team replace a substitute striker who will basically not play-this is a preparation just in case, Luke is over 21 years old UEFA stipulates that youth team members under the age of 21 can participate in European competitions without registration, so Jose did not put Motta in the UEFA Cup list-he will be in the hands of Jose A secret weapon, now he doesn't want this secret weapon to appear in front of others.

At least when he can really master Mallorca, this secret weapon cannot appear in front of others for the time being.

In the absence of the Copa del Rey game and the UEFA Cup will not start for some time, Mallorca is currently playing once a week in the league, which also gives Jose more time to play. Adjust the state of the players so that Eto'o can get acquainted with his teammates faster.

In the second half of the season, the striker combination of Eto'o and Tristan is the foundation for Mallorca to settle down!

Tristan can play a big role in the tough battle, and Eto'o can give Mallorca's counterattack wings. Of course, Eto'o's value is not only in the counterattack, his ability to grab points And the ability to break through with the ball is still a sharp weapon to break the deadlock at critical moments. When the defense cannot help the offense, the forward's personal ability can play a big role-Eto'o's outstanding feature is that he can Create opportunities, while Tristan needs to seize opportunities more.

In fact, before rebirth, Jose also had a misunderstanding of Eto'o, that is, he thought he was a pure shooter, and his outstanding performance in Barcelona was based on the support of Barcelona's powerful midfielder. The performance of the two seasons after arriving at Inter Milan has impressed Jose and the vast majority of fans - besides scoring goals, there are many things he can do on the field...

For the next week, Jose didn't go anywhere, just stayed on the training ground to watch the players' training and conduct tactical drills at the same time-now is not the time to make any physical reserves, the next league schedule is basically They are played once a week, with several UEFA Cup games in between. Even if the average age of Mallorca's main lineup is relatively old, their physical fitness can be guaranteed without rotation.

In a week's time, Eto'o and his teammates have established a preliminary cooperation, and Jose has also practiced several sets of different tactics, which makes him full of confidence in the next team's victory.

On February 6th, in the twenty-third round of La Liga, Mallorca played against Real Sociedad at home!

The results of Real Sociedad this season are not particularly good. They are now ranked tenth, and the hope of entering the European arena is slim, but there is no danger of relegation. For Mallorca, grabbing three points against this opponent is also Things that must be done.

Jose continued to use the previous main lineup in this game, and Eto'o was still sitting on the bench. Jose should be cautious and cautious in using him.

Although the players have not changed from the previous two games, this game went surprisingly smoothly - after winning two consecutive victories, the spirit of the Mallorca players is completely different from before, although they are still at the bottom of the ranking, but They have nothing to fear!

Although Eto'o was not sent to the field, Jose's hard work in the past half month has achieved remarkable results. Mallorca's frontcourt offense has become more and more fast-this kind of speed is not the speed of the whole, but the speed of the frontcourt. The rapid attack with individual small-scale cooperation made the Royal Society's defense very uncomfortable.

And Mallorca's offensive efficiency is also quite good. It only took fifteen minutes, amidst the cheers of more than 20,000 Mallorca fans, they broke through the gate of Real Sociedad!

This goal was not scored by Tristan, but it has something to do with Tristan - in the 15th minute, after receiving a pass from Stankovic, Tristan broke into the penalty area against offside, and the ball was a goal. Feet cum!

Real Sociedad goalkeeper Albert made a beautiful save, but Tristan's shot was too powerful, and Albert could only choose to play the ball...

"Tristan shoots! Oh, Albert saves the ball...Goal! GOAL!!! The goal is... Ngonga! Mallorca's old captain Ngonga unexpectedly rushed in Inside the penalty area, he kicked up the shot at the first time! This is really surprising. After moving to Mallorca, Ngonga seldom entered the penalty area to participate in the attack. His last goal still appeared in the Two seasons ago, the arrival of Jose made Ngonga full of vitality! This is really an exciting head coach!"

Amidst the compliments from the on-site commentator, Jose jumped up on the sidelines, then turned to face the stands, and waved his arms vigorously!

The cheers in the stands were raised to another level, and the Mallorca fans were ecstatic about Jose's provocative gesture!

"Well, coach Jose is young, but he has a good way of mobilizing fans' emotions... In the first game against Vallecano, he didn't make such a move when he was leading by three goals, which shows that he knows that. At that time, the fans did not accept him, but now, his actions will get a huge response, which in turn will stimulate the players' performance on the court!" Hidalgo said with a smile.

Bones still has a cold face. After hearing what Hidalgo said, he simply said: "It may be that two victories made him get carried away!"

"Uh, you're right... But fortunately, Jose doesn't seem to be in danger of dismissing get out of class for the time being, and there will be more time for us to observe this young head coach and see if he is really outstanding, Or is it just luck during this time..." Hidalgo replied with a smile.

Obviously, Hidalgo's judgment is quite correct in this matter.

The head coach's crazy behavior on the sidelines, the sudden increase in decibels in the stands... Even though Mallorca's players are mostly veterans, they are still excited by this situation, and their bodies seem to be several years younger...

Let alone young players like Tristan and the others!

In the next period of time, Mallorca beat Real Sociedad, which was ranked nine places higher than them, at home - in the words of that fashionable bull-headed dick, "it's almost blown out..."

In the 32nd minute, Tristan's forced breakthrough created a free kick in the front court. Stankovic, the team's number one set kick kicker, passed the ball into the penalty area. Under the cover of Tristan, central defender Fernando ?Nino overwhelmed the opponent's defender and shook his head to attack the goal, and the ball went into the net for the second time!

This goal is another manifestation of Jose's well-designed set-piece tactics - Tristan, who has gradually become the target of public criticism, has attracted most of the opponent's attention in the middle, but the ball is passed to the back point, and Nino shakes his head and breaks the goal. ...a very simple tactic, yet very effective!

This is exactly the tactical style that Jose has promoted after taking office, that is, there is no need for such flashy offensive tactics on the court, and Mallorca does not have and does not need them. A few sets of simple but effective tactics can be used in the game. Goal, that's enough!
