Chapter 21 This Feels Good

Chapter 21 This Feels Good

Bilbao fans will never forget that when everyone was laughing at Guerrero for giving up his high salary and signing a ten-year lifetime contract with Bilbao, Guerrero only said: "Bilbao is in Historically, foreign players have never been introduced (no non-Basques), and they mainly rely on players trained by the second team. If everyone becomes famous and goes to other clubs, then Bilbao will have no successors." Just because of this One sentence is enough to make Bilbao fans regard this captain who symbolizes loyalty and responsibility as a god in their hearts!

Now, this shitty new head coach treats their forever golden boy, the absolute captain, the role model of the players like this... is it intolerable or unbearable!

In this case, Guerrero once again showed his general demeanor. In an interview, the captain of Bilbao said: "The coach is the decision-maker of the team. We believe that everything he does is based on the overall situation. Let's go. I must express my gratitude to the people of Bilbao and thank them for their support and trust in me. I also believe that all Bilbao people will still support Athletic Bilbao without any reason!"

Sometimes, a word from a person with enough authority is enough to calm all troubles-this is the case now.

Therefore, when Mallorca came to Bilbao, Athletic Bilbao, which had already had some signs of civil strife, had become calm and began to use the most united mentality to fight against the last three rounds. Mallorca...

"What a good player."

After learning about all this, Jose muttered something to himself. Of course, he also knew that apart from Guerrero's sufficient prestige, the biggest reason for being able to calm all dissatisfaction with one sentence was Bilbao. A centuries-old tradition of athletics! Using only players of Basque descent, although inhibiting Bilbao's possible greater development space, has allowed this team to have an extraordinary unity! This kind of unity is thicker than water. There may be problems in the locker room of other clubs, but not in the locker room of Bilbao-the players who would be dissatisfied may have already transferred and left. It is not difficult for a coach to coach Bilbao, just make good use of these players... …

"But no matter what, we still have to take a victory from here." Jose said to himself-he knew that Athletic Bilbao was not easy to play, but they were also good offensive players. Bloody, but the strength is still worse than the offensive line with Ursais, Echeberia and Guerrero.

A defensive counterattack team like Mallorca is actually a little afraid of a team like Valencia that also uses defensive counterattack. When Liecano and Real Sociedad won relatively easily, they played very difficult against the weaker Numancia. This is because Numancia is also a defensive and counterattack team.

February 13th, San Mames Stadium!

The San Mamés Stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 people, is full of seats—a characteristic of Spanish stadiums is that they often symbolize a large area. The stadiums are not small—not to mention the Nou Camp and Bernabeu, like Mesta Stadiums such as Leah have a capacity of around 50,000 people. Even Mallorca, a mid-range team that only represents a population of more than one million people in the Balearic Islands, has a stadium capacity of more than 20,000 people—don't think 20,000 people are very few. You must know that the home stadium capacity of many stadiums in England is only 20,000 to 30,000 people. The home stadium capacity of Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Liverpool is about 40,000 people.

Although the stadiums in Italy are often very large, this has a lot to do with their previous hosting of the Olympic Games. The stadiums in Rome, Milan, Turin, and Naples all have a capacity of 70,000 to 80,000 people. However, due to economic downturn and other factors , Their home attendance rate is not high, at least not comparable to England, Spain and Germany.

Among the 40,000 people, fanatical Athletic Bilbao fans accounted for at least 39,000—Mallorca fans are not used to traveling from afar to watch games away, so this time it was only 1,000. It was just the fans who couldn't reach them. Amidst the shouts of the Athletic Bilbao fans, they were squeezed into a small square, like a wave in the sea. If you don't pay attention, you can't see it...

However, Mallorca's players are used to this point. At least the advantages of being veteran players are that they will not be easily swayed by the atmosphere of the away game. In this atmosphere, I want to teach those guys on the opposite side a lesson, and quiet down the shouting in the stands...

Jose's starting lineup remains unchanged. It's not that he doesn't want to rotate, but that he doesn't need to. The most important thing to play in the league is stability instead of using surprise soldiers. Two poles, Jose can't use any surprise weapon...

But, anyway, Tristan has been in good form recently, and Mallorca's current tactics are also very suitable for him. Even if he is used alone, Jose is confident that he can open the door of any team!

"When we play away games, there are often very few people to support us... But it's not bad, isn't it? It's also a pleasure to silence the home team's stands... Diego, remember last season in Mallorca B When you broke through the goal of Real Madrid's B team, the whole Bernardo fell silent... remember?" Jose said in the dressing room.

"Of course I remember, haha!" Tristan laughed loudly, that was the most glorious moment in his one and a half years in the Mallorca B team - breaking through the gate of Real Madrid! Even if it's just a B team...

"How did it feel at that time? I remember that the whole Bernabéu was quiet..." Jose added appropriately.

"It feels really good! It's even better than having a chick!" Tristan let out a burst of laughter - and the other Mallorca players couldn't help laughing at the same time...

Happy laughter echoed in the locker room, and a group of Mallorca players seemed to have turned into wolves at this moment, and they all let out *ah** laughter...

When the players were almost laughing, Jose waved his hand violently, and then shouted: "Okay, let's go now! Let those little girls moan in ecstasy!"

The laughter in the locker room became louder, and then Natal opened the door of the locker room, and the players from Mallorca poured out of the locker room with the laughter!

Seeing the players pouring out of the locker room, Jose waved off the smile on his face, and slowly walked out of the door of the locker room.

Young coaches, of course, have the benefits of being young coaches—if you change to an older coach, you probably won't be able to make such vulgar jokes with the players—but sometimes, this kind of joke between men is easy Just shorten the distance between each other...

When the players from both sides entered the field, the Athletic Bilbao players immediately launched an attack amidst the shouts of nearly 40,000 fans, while the Mallorca players were not afraid, and started intercepting from the midfield, and the opponent Intense competition started on the court!

Ursesz is entangled by Nino. Although Ursesis is a member of the Spanish national team, he is not young anymore. At the age of 29, his impact is not as good as before. Last season he He has scored sixteen league goals in more than thirty league games, and so far this season has only scored three goals—Nino, who is three years younger than him, entangled him with his strength.

Echeberia on the wing was closely followed by Mallorca's left back Olesola. Although Olesola is thirty years old, at least at this moment, his physical strength is fine. , it is still possible to entangle Echeberia for the time being.

As for Guerrero, he is under the marking of the midfielder Soler.

After marking the three most threatening attackers in Bilbao in a man-to-man manner, Mallorca launched an attack. Ngonga, who had no worries, started to move forward and continued to create opportunities for the two wings by distributing the ball. , while Stankovic and Ibagaza on the two wings began to break through frequently, creating opportunities for Tristan in the middle!

Jose's judgment is not wrong. Although Mallorca's offensive tactics are very simple, in the absence of fast full-backs and excellent central defenders, this kind of attack poses a considerable threat to the opponent's defense!

Bilbao's offense created little threat under Mallorca's effective defense, while Mallorca's offense, Athletic Bilbao did not have enough effective means to stop it-this is the difference between the two. difference!

It is only a matter of time before it takes the overall advantage, and sometimes it is only a matter of time before you want to take the lead.

In the 22nd minute, after continuous attacks, Mallorca finally took the lead!

It was Ibagaza's cross after a forced breakthrough from the right, and Tristan rushed to the top of the penalty area like a god!

strength! Deterrence! Tristan's characteristics are so fierce and unstoppable under such an offensive method!

Bilbao's young goalkeeper, 24-year-old Inaghi Lafuente only had time to wave his hand, and the ball quickly flew into the gate of Athletic Bilbao!

As Jose said, when Tristan headed the ball into the goal of Athletic Bilbao, the entire San Mamés stadium turned from noisy to silent in an instant, and only a few hundred Mallorca fans remained. Cheers!

Tristan jumped up and let out a roar, then embraced with the swarming teammates!

Yes, this feeling is really cool! The moment the goal was scored, the entire stadium was silent... This kind of pleasure is simply not inferior to the pleasure brought by the fans' avalanche and tsunami-like cheers after scoring a goal at home!

"Mallorca took the lead away... no doubt, that's normal, they had the upper hand in attack before and Tristan scored his fifth goal in four league games in just four league games. In just one round, his number of goals equaled his total number of goals in the first half of the season... I have said it many times before, but I will say one more thing now: Even if Jose has no other role I think just activating Tristan, an outstanding young center forward, is enough to prove his excellence!"
