Chapter 54

What Mourinho did not expect was that Jose's tactics in this game were actually the defensive counterattack tactics of giving up possession of the ball that Mourinho used in Inter Milan. On the ground, a small-scale cooperation between several people is used to create killing opportunities, and the backcourt relies on intensive defense and assistance to complete the block, although the overall strength of this Mallorca team is definitely not comparable to that of the later Inter Milan, which won the Triple Crown. In comparison, however, the current Barcelona is not comparable to the Barcelona of the Dream Team...

What's more, in terms of defense, this Mallorca team did better than that Inter Milan team, and it was also because Jose didn't pay much attention to the outcome of this game, so he played with a more relaxed attitude. Playing this game, coupled with Barcelona's impatience, has such a wonderful result!

Jose held out three fingers high to indicate that he would go home from the Nou Camp with three points, but what he didn't expect was that two minutes after he raised the three fingers very coolly, Mallorca would scored again...

Barcelona's next attack did not pose any threat. At the same time, the players were a little dazed because of the second goal. After Eto'o got the ball, he began to take the ball indiscriminately and sprint towards Barcelona's half. …

This action completely angered the Barcelona players. Reziger rushed up like taking medicine, then tackled Eto'o on the wing, and gave Mallorca a yellow card at the same time. A well-placed free kick in the frontcourt.

Without Jose's command, Mallorca's two central defenders rushed into Barcelona's penalty area at the same time, and Barcelona's defense began to tense up. Although their average height is not short, a few tall players are concentrated in the frontcourt instead, such as Rivaldo and Kluivert who are 1.87 meters... Poor four defenders and two midfielders in the backcourt, the tallest is only in the early 1.80s...

Faced with Nadal who is 1.88 meters, Nino who is 1.86 meters, and Tristan who is 1.87 meters, Barcelona's defenders generally expressed a lot of pressure.

"Mallorca's free-kick up the pitch... they've just taken a two-goal lead and Mallorca forced another free-kick, it's amazing how much momentum they've had for a while, even though they're pretty much out of danger of relegation , but it is not easy to be two goals ahead of Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Look at this ball... Ngonga passed the ball into the penalty area. Barcelona's penalty area is really lively! Nadal in Germany Ball failed to jump up due to the interference, Nino and Cocu collided, and neither of them could touch the ball, the second point...Diego Tristan!"

Amid the shouts of the commentator, Tristan jumped high from the back point, in mid-air, he forced his body to knock away Abelardo who was defending, and then shook his head vigorously to push the ball out!

Facing the header from the back point that was close at hand, Hesper only had time to wave his hand, and the ball flew into the goal!

Tristan staggered on the ground, then opened his arms, waved his strong arms in the air, and let out a loud roar!

Like Eto'o, Tristan is also eager to prove his worth by scoring goals in a great stadium like Camp Nou!

Now, following Eto'o's brace, he has also scored, his 16th league goal of the season, an incredible figure for a striker playing in La Liga for the first time. Even amazing!

This season he has scored against Deportivo, scored against Barcelona, ​​and scored against Real Madrid and Valencia in the first round, plus he is equally good against mid-range teams. Goal scoring ability is enough to prove him, Diego? Tristan is an extremely good striker!

Twenty-four-year-old Diego Tristan, after a late bloomer, finally became a blockbuster in La Liga!

"What a good center, especially the domineering display on the court..."

I don't know how many people have such a sigh in their hearts at the same time.

And then, when they think of Jose holding up three fingers on the sidelines two minutes ago, most people will get it wrong-could this young coach named Jose predict that there will be goals in the future? , That's why he raised three fingers and issued a victory declaration in advance?

No way...

Jose was also a little dumbfounded at that moment. His original intention was to take away three points from here, but it just so happened that Mallorca scored the third goal with the extension of three fingers. ...

However, he quickly realized that no matter it was a coincidence or not, it was better to pretend at this time, at least it would be beneficial to him to leave an inscrutable impression in other people's minds.

Mallorca's third goal completely made the Barcelona players feel desperate for this game. Facing Mallorca, who had six or seven players running back to their penalty area before the kick-off in Barcelona, ​​Barcelona The players felt discouraged when they saw it...

In the next ten minutes of the game, although Barcelona still attacked a lot, they began to look weak. They were afraid that Mallorca would counterattack and lose the ball again. Although losing three goals would be shameful, but losing four goals That would be even more embarrassing.

Van Gaal did not make any adjustments either, he had completely given up on the game and accepted that he would be five points behind Deportivo in the league.

Now Van Gaal has already begun to consider whether to give up the league and concentrate on striving for a breakthrough in the Champions League. After all, chasing five points in six rounds is already very difficult to achieve in the process of winning the championship. On the contrary, the Champions Cup only needs one match. No matter how hard you fight, there is still a chance.

Jose looked at Barcelona, ​​whose offensive strength had weakened a lot, and sighed in disappointment. He originally planned to use Barcelona to train his team more, but now, it seems that there is no chance.

However, being able to play Barcelona at the Nou Camp has lost confidence, and it is enough to be proud of the young Jose.

In the following time, Jose sat on the coach's bench and watched all the games. He did not make any substitutions, and there is no need for any substitutions in this situation.

"In the 32nd round of La Liga this season that just ended, Mallorca unexpectedly beat Barcelona 3-0 away! This is Barcelona's worst loss at home this season. Unexpectedly, it was It was caused by Mallorca, who had just left the relegation zone... After the young head coach Jose took office, this team changed its decline in the first half of the season. Not only is relegation imminent, but it is also making great strides in the UEFA Cup! Jose, the youngest head coach in La Liga, is now in the limelight!"

After the thirty-second round of the league, the major media focused on Barcelona's 0-3 home defeat to Mallorca. This game was indeed legendary enough. The small team overthrew the giants, although This is not the first time that Mallorca has defeated Barcelona. However, relying on home and away goals to defeat Barcelona to win the Spanish Super Cup, and sweeping the defending champion Barcelona with three goals in an away game are completely two concepts!

That time under the command of Cooper, they defeated Barcelona to win the Super Cup. People can also say that Barcelona capsized in the gutter for a while, but this time it was zero to three... Even if the process was ugly, the three-goal victory was real. ...

The Mallorca fans greeted the Mallorca players who returned to Mallorca almost with a ceremony like welcoming heroes, and Jose was praised by countless people-the Mallorca fans are indeed very easy to satisfy , a win or two is enough to keep them happy.

"Daily Sport" and "Mundo Deportivo", which are the mouthpieces of Barcelona, ​​slammed Van Gaal's strategy of reusing the Dutch. There were seven Spaniards in the main force on the spot. Mallorca beat Barcelona, ​​which only had four Spaniards. At that time, Van Gaal's practice of reusing the Dutch direct line was more clearly exposed. This season, the Catalan media, who were already dissatisfied with Van Gaal's intensified use of the Dutch, took the opportunity to fire and beat Van Gaal with all their might. Stance.

The pro-Real Madrid media "Marca" and "Aspen" began to add insult to injury. While boasting about Eto'o, who scored two goals in the game, they happily said, "The strikers that we don't need for Real Madrid can all be in the game. Camp Nou scored two goals for Barcelona", while praising Mallorca's rise in the second half of the season to add more suspense to La Liga...

With the media hype from both sides, more and more media started to interview Jose. However, Jose has no intention of exposing himself too much. He rejects all interviews proposed by various media. On the cusp.

Jose is not a person who doesn't like to be in the limelight. In fact, as an ordinary fan in his previous life, he was very happy that his name appeared on the headlines of the newspaper, but he knew that now he made his reputation too hot , It's not a good thing for him, after all, he can't show too much threat now, so as not to affect his future acquisition plan.

When he can really master the Mallorca Club, he will be famous all over the world!

After Jose adopted the strategy of reclusive and rarely accepting interviews, the media were at a loss. In order to fill their pages, the reporters could only deal with readers with trivial articles...

"Jose walked to the only local Chinese restaurant in Mallorca today. It is said that he is a frequent customer of this restaurant"

"The guy at the Chinese restaurant revealed that Jose loves the braised lion head here"

"A mysterious visitor ushered in Jose's home, and it turned out that this person was delivering food"

"Jose basically doesn't go to nightclubs for entertainment. Is there a problem with the youngest head coach's sexual orientation?" "

...

Such extremely boring and vulgar headlines kept appearing on the headlines of newspapers, disgusting readers and disgusting Jose at the same time.

"What the hell, you actually spread rumors that I'm gay? What kind of gossip magazine, I remember you..." Jose threw the newspaper in his hand on the ground, and cursed at home.

However, Jose is angry, and he has nothing to do. The general regular media is not so boring, but some third-rate tabloids have started to report various news about Jose during this period. It feels like a toad on the feet of Jose, which does not hurt. It's not itchy but he's disgusting...

Jose doesn't have much time to find trouble with these third-rate tabloids. There will be no games in Mallorca for the next week, and it's time to recharge his batteries and wait for the next round of the league and the away game against Leeds United.

After defeating Barcelona, ​​Mallorca extended their advantage over the relegation zone to eight points. With six rounds left in the league, it is basically certain that they will succeed in relegation. Their ranking has also risen to fourteenth. The field is still hopeless, but relegation will not be a big problem.

"Playing away to Leeds, it seems that we can continue to test the defensive quality of the defense..." Jose thought while rubbing his chin.
