Chapter 11 A New Hope for Mallorca

During the halftime break, Vazquez didn't notice Mallorca's targeted tactics. He just felt that Mallorca's recovery defense was still very solid, but he still felt that his team's offense would definitely be able to tear apart Open the opponent's defense...

Therefore, he did not formulate any targeted tactics, but only asked for a more violent attack in the second half. At the same time, the full-backs also had to cover the side and insert the opponent's defense line. He did not need to care too much about the opponent's counterattack. After all, Mallorca did not have a fast type in the frontcourt. No matter how good Tristan is, he still needs the support of the midfielder.

So after the beginning of the second half, Vallecano continued the onslaught of the first half, constantly launching attacks after passing back and forth in the midfield, trying to move back and forth to make Mallorca's defense exhausted and exposed flaws.

In the face of Vallecano's aggressive attack, Mallorca's defense is more suitable to be described as "immobile as a mountain". Stay in the penalty area, block the crosses from the two wings, and cut off the penetration in the middle. If there is a chance, it is basically a big foot looking for Tristan in the frontcourt to get a buffer.

Jose stood in front of the coaching bench with a serious expression on his face, watching everything on the field. The offensive tactics he formulated cannot be used casually when there is no good opportunity, at least not to make the opponent more vigilant. Offense is what worries Jose the most.

Although I have confidence in Mallorca's defensive ability, there are often no shortage of accidents on the football field. No matter how good the defense is, it may be broken by the opponent's casual attack.

When Sembranos made an over-the-top pass from the front of the penalty area, and forward Cannavale volleyed the goalpost without stopping the ball, Jose's heart beat a few times. Langke rushed out and pressed the ball tightly under his body, his violently beating heart began to slow down...

"Damn it, the pressure of leading a professional team is really not comparable to leading a youth team... it's exciting enough!" Jose secretly wiped his sweat, and then thought to himself—he always looks very mature in front of players , but in fact, even including the age before rebirth, he is still less than thirty years old.

After missing this opportunity, Vallecano's offensive momentum eased, but soon, they launched an offensive again!

Obviously, this goal post gave them the hope of equalizing the score and even taking the lead in one go.

Mallorca's defense line seemed to be compressed even more flat, and they were pressed and beaten in a 30-meter area. Vallecano's offensive was extremely fierce, but no one noticed. It started to get bigger and bigger. Although Stankovic and Ibagaza are constantly retreating to help defend, one of them will always be in the front, waiting for a counterattack at any time.

Mallorca is also waiting for Vallecano to make a mistake in his offense-now it is to see who makes a mistake first.

Fortunately, Mallorca's mistake came later than the opponent. Unfortunately for Vallecano, one of their offensive mistakes ruined their hope of victory...

In the 71st minute, Sembranos received the ball in the middle and then passed the ball to Michelle on the right. Michelle saw that the full-back Cody had covered the edge and attacked, and immediately kicked straight. Se passed the ball.

Just when Cody was about to catch the ball, Mallorca's left-back Olesola rushed out of the penalty area, and then made a shovel with incredible agility and intercepted the ball halfway!

Cody and Michelle were stunned at the same time. After seeing Olesola steal the ball, perhaps because of inertia, what they thought was not to return to defense, but to continue to counterattack in the frontcourt...

Olesola did not miss such an opportunity. Instead of getting up, he fell to the ground and swept the ball forward vigorously, to Stankovic who did not return to defense just now!

Stretching his foot to stop Olesola's pass, Stankovic flicked the ball forward and headed into Vallecano's half, while Carlos and Tristan in the middle started simultaneously. Sprinting towards Vallecano's penalty area, even Ibagaza who had just retreated to help defend also accelerated his pace and rushed towards Vallecano's half!

Mallorca's counterattack instantly erupted like a torrent!

"Return to defense!" Vazquez shouted loudly from the sidelines, although he didn't realize that Mallorca's counterattack was intentional, but now Mallorca has three players who have crossed the half-court, There is another Ibagaza following up behind him, while Vallecano has only three defensive players in the backcourt, playing four against three in the frontcourt. This situation is already very dangerous.

Stankovic sprinted forward with the ball. Although his speed was not particularly fast, the full-back on the other side had already run to the bottom line of Mallorca's half. , also has a long distance with Stankovic. Without anyone defending, Stankovic ran at his highest speed. He just kept waving the ball forward three or four meters, and then Stride to catch up, and then continue to walk... This simple way of dribbling minimizes the possibility of him being caught up.

Carlos and Tristan, who followed up in the middle, were not slow at all. Vallecano's three defenders began to return to defense. One of them blocked Stankovic's route into the penalty area, while the other two defenders He kept up with Carlos and Tristan to prevent them from shooting in unguarded places after receiving the ball.

After sprinting to a place parallel to the line of the penalty area, Stankovic looked up and observed the situation in the penalty area. He saw that Tristan had rushed into the penalty area in the first place, and Carlos responded slightly behind. , So Stankovic didn't intend to break into the penalty area, because a defender of the opponent had already greeted him from the side, but after adjusting, he immediately kicked up his left foot and passed the ball into the penalty area.

What he was looking for, of course, was Tristan's point. In the restricted area, Tristan was the overlord.

Panting heavily, Tristan strode into the penalty area. Although it was impossible for him to run too fast with his size, he was still young, energetic and capable of running.

Although Tristan's breath became heavy because of this sprint, his attention was not distracted by it. He could feel that there were teammates behind him to respond, and the two central defenders on the other side paid more attention. Everything is on him.

"Centers need to have a strong desire to score, but it doesn't mean that all shots have to be completed by themselves. In the final analysis, football is a game of forming local advantages. Whoever can form more local advantages will be able to have greater goals." chance to win."

What Jose once said when he was still in the youth team flashed in Tristan's mind. Facing the marking of the opponent's two defenders, even though Tristan had great confidence in himself, he knew clearly that This kind of situation is what Jose called "local advantage", which is just the opponent's local advantage...

Just when Tristan was thinking this way, Stankovic had already kicked the ball into the penalty area!

Although he knew that the opponent had an advantage in numbers, Tristan still jumped up to face the ball without fear. With the help of the speed of sprinting, Tristan jumped higher than usual.

Vallecano's two defenders jumped up at the same time. Although they were not as good as Tristan in terms of jumping and height, they were not worried. Even if the two defenders cannot clear the siege in advance, they can at least cause some interference.

Tristan is also well aware of this. It is impossible for the three bodies to collide without interference. At this moment, Tristan turned his head in the air, and then tried his best to throw the ball backwards Push it over!

"Okay!" Jose stood up off the field, clenched his fists tightly - although Carlos ran to the wrong place, but in the direction of Tristan's ferry, Ibagaza had already rushed up !

The ball landed, and Tristan and the two defenders hadn't fallen from the air yet!

Ibagaza stretched out his foot to pad the ball, and then without hesitation, he swung his right foot and shot the ball hard!

"Call me in!" Jose roared off the court.

Keller's sight was blocked, and his attention was all on Tristan before, which made him see the ball, and the ball had already flew into the small penalty area quickly!

When the ball passed Keller's fingertips, the American goalkeeper felt chilled at the same time!

Keller knew in his heart that the timing of his fall was a step behind, far from being able to block the shooting angle, and now that the ball had flown not far from his hand, it was almost impossible to miss it...

Keller's judgment was correct. In the next second, there was a huge cheer from the St. Moise stands-such a cheer was absolutely impossible to come from the more than 1,000 fans of Rayo Vallecano. from...

"The goal was scored! Tristan headed the ball down, and Ibagaza calmly scored the ball into the dead corner of the goal! Two to zero, Mallorca expanded the score... Let's look at the statistics... This is Mallorca's second shot in this game hit the goal frame. So far they have only shot five times, and only two shots have hit the goal frame. However, these two shots have scored goals! Really high efficiency, Ma Lorca's defensive counterattack was done very well. This kind of performance allows us to vaguely see that Mallorca, which scored only 48 goals in the 38 rounds of the league last season and conceded only 31 goals, This is also the Mallorca we are most familiar with!"

The Mallorca fans at the scene did not have the exclamation of the commentators. They just cheered loudly and gave all their praises to Ibagaza who was rushing to the bottom of the stands to celebrate. The little Argentine who scored the second goal...

And when Tristan and Ibagaza hugged each other, the cheers in the stands became more enthusiastic. Although Ibagaza's performance this season was mediocre, Mallorca fans will not forget him last season His outstanding performance, and when he scored the first league goal of the season, everyone was happy for him, and Tristan is the new hope of Mallorca fans!
