Chapter 20 Arriving in Bilbao

Most of them are veterans in Mallorca. These veterans have basically established their skills and have nothing to tap into their potential. If they rashly implement some brand-new gorgeous tactics, before they have any effect, these old guys will probably collapse. The old guys don't want to run so hard on the field, and if they are passive and sabotage or something, their so-called modifiers won't work. No matter how awesome Jose is, he has to go back to the reserve team to play West. B's game goes to...

After all, he is not Li Fantong, he does not have that heaven-defying modifier, and he is not Xiao Ming. He has almost unlimited money to support him to replace all the players!

Jose is just Jose, an ordinary fanatical fan in the previous life. After being reborn, he studied football coaching courses. He has a little money in his hand and a little money in his stomach, but what does Jose think, why does he feel aggrieved...

"I want to invest in Google! I want to modify the players!"

Then a certain bullhead hummed a song in the dark and replied: "This is not allowed, dear~~"

"My lord!"

It was precisely because of the restrictions imposed by a certain bull, that Jose could only carefully complete his plan step by step. With 200 million US dollars in his hand, he did not dare to buy the Mallorca club easily, for fear that after he bought it, he would not be able to buy it. The money has been invested—you must know that the expenses of maintaining a club are huge. Even if you are frugal, Jose's cash on hand is only enough to support the Mallorca club for a few years—of course this is Jose's Marlowe. If the card club is operated according to the way the Asensio family used to operate, it can still have dividends every year...

It is precisely because of this that Jose will only fine-tune the team rather than any major surgery, and Mallorca's management will not support him with any major surgery.

It is also because of the limitations of many objective factors that Jose will adopt the current style of play-the old guys on the back line don't need to run too much on the field, what they need to pay is their experience and stability. It is what they like to see, but in the frontcourt, mainly young players, after formulating a few sets of more effective offensive tactics, it is up to young players with plenty of physical fitness to toss in the frontcourt to score goals, whether they are old players or young players. Players, everyone is happy-at least in Mallorca now, this tactic is enough!

Mallorca fans naturally don't know what's going on in the head coach's head, they are just excited about the team's two-goal lead-the consecutive victories make the fans feel crazy, although Mallorca last season It is not without three consecutive victories, but obviously, against the background of the poor record in the first half of the season, the winning streak during this period made the fans feel even more excited!

And Jose's tactics also made Mallorca fans feel more enjoyable-although in essence, Jose's tactics during this period are not much different from last season, but whether it is luck or other What, Jose's Mallorca has scored many more goals than Cooper's Mallorca...

Mallorca fans don't care what tactics Jose uses as long as the goal is always visible!

During the half-time break, Jose did not make any adjustments, but emphasized continuing to stabilize the defense and launch a counterattack when there was an opportunity-the excellent situation of leading by two goals gave Jose sufficient confidence to adjust.

And Mallorca's luck seems to have begun to falter. In the case of not many attacks, Mallorca scored again six minutes after the start of the second half!

Ibagaza made an unreasonable breakthrough on the wing to get rid of the defense of the opponent's full-back, and then passed a beautiful cross in the running. Tristan hit the ball and scored a beautiful posture And a strong goal!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The goal is scored! Three to zero! Mallorca is far ahead at home! It was Diego—"

The on-site commentator shouted loudly, and more than 20,000 Mallorca fans at the scene took up his words in unison: "Tristan!"

The commentator on the Spanish TV station was not so passionate: "Three games in a row, scored four goals, Tristan fired all the firepower... a beautiful goal, this is the ninth goal scored by the young Spanish striker this season. Ball! And with his recent momentum, it is easy to break through to double digits, a new star is rising..." Hidalgo said.

"At a club like Mallorca, the opposite is good for Tristan, at least when the team is in trouble, the team needs Tristan more... This kind of tempering is really good for him, and Jose seems to be very clear. How should this player be used... This can be seen from the fact that Tristan has scored goals again and again after Jose started coaching Mallorca! Maybe Mallorca will have a headache soon, and that is the end of the season After that, will Mallorca be able to keep Tristan?"

Many Mallorca fans who stayed at home to watch the live broadcast began to scold the two commentators-what are you doing? Dude finally be happy, you two bastards are talking about Tristan's transfer... Yes, maybe Mallorca really can't keep him after the end of the season, but why are you talking about this at this time? What two bastards!

Jose naturally wouldn't know the words of the two commentators and the scolding from the fans. After seeing that he had already led by three goals, Jose nodded, then called Eto'o from the bench, and told him how many times After the sentence, Carlos was replaced by Eto'o.

For Eto'o, Jose didn't use him as a firefighter—what is a firefighter? Play the game as soon as you come, use it to your death, and use it until the state is no longer good-the cautious use of Eto'o just proves that Jose attaches great importance to Eto'o.

If Eto'o was a character like Bashen, he might still not understand, but Jose believes that Eto'o can understand his intentions and know the benefits of doing so.

"Three to one! Mallorca beat Real Sociedad at home, this is their three consecutive victories... Ngonga, Nino and Tristan helped Mallorca achieve three goals in the first fifty minutes The lead of the ball, and then Real Sociedad only relied on midfielder Alan Bruu's goal in the 85th minute to get back a point, although this goal was the result of Mallorca's executive coach Jose Alemani taking office. The first goal conceded afterwards did not affect the excitement of the Mallorca fans celebrating..."

"Despite winning three games in a row, Mallorca's strong response seems to have stimulated other La Liga relegation teams. Several teams in danger of relegation performed well this round, except for Real Betis who lost to Valencia. In addition, Sevilla, which was only one point ahead of Mallorca, defeated the same relegation opponent Racing Santander 1-0, Atletico Madrid tied Zaragoza 2-2, and Oviedo 1-0. Zero defeated the Spaniard, and Mallorca is still at the bottom with 21 points, but compared with the previous situation, it is much better..."

"In another closely watched match, Deportivo swept Real Madrid 5-2, while Barcelona conceded a surprising one-goal home defeat to Alaves, allowing Deportivo to extend their lead to Four points, this team is very likely to win the first La Liga title in the club's history! The team's Djaminha and Mackay have performed well..."

After this round of the league, there are good and bad. Of course, Mallorca fans don't care about other teams. After all, their current momentum is very good. Although relegation still seems very slim, they are far away from the penultimate Betis. The gap between them has been reduced from the previous fifteen points to twelve points, and there is hope for progress...

Mallorca is also very happy. Chairman Alemani highly praised the team's performance, and the Mallorca players are also very happy, because the newly appointed head coach is satisfied with the tactics arranged. In addition, you can also achieve good results...

Amid the joy and encouragement, Eto'o seemed a bit in a bad mood. Unlike the last game when he came off the bench and got a direct assist, this time he played mediocrely and failed to score a goal. Instead, Real Sociedad scored a... …

Jose saw all of this, but he did not go to comfort Eto'o. He had said and done enough for Eto'o before, but if there were too many, it would be easy to spoil the players. The speed in the middle is subtle. very.

Next, there will be another week of tactical drills. The next round of the league is an away game against Athletic Bilbao. During this period, Jose still needs to adjust the physical fitness and state of the players, and let them adapt to the new tactics faster...

Jose's luck is good, the next few opponents are not particularly strong opponents, but Jose knows that apart from Real Madrid, the strong teams of Deportivo, Barcelona and Valencia are not in the league yet. I have encountered it before, and if I want to grab points from them at that time, the team will need to adapt to their own tactics and adjustments.

On February 11th, the Mallorca team set off and flew directly to the Basque Country—although it is a small place, Mallorca Island has its own airport, so it is very convenient to go anywhere...

Athletic Bilbao is a very special team - they are not only one of only four membership clubs in Spain, but also the most stubborn and traditional club in terms of club blood - perhaps the only club in the world For such a club, not all of their players are Spanish players, but they emphasize that they can only use players of Basque descent-for example, Lizarazu, the main left back of the French national team, once played for Athletic Bilbao. For one season, he was not Spanish, but he also had a passport from the Basque Country and had Basque blood, so he was able to play in Athletic Bilbao. Of course, Athletic Bilbao still failed to stay. Live the world's top left-back.

Although the results of Athletic Bilbao this season are mediocre, they are still playing in the Champions League last season. The team's center Urcez, winger Echeberia, and midfielder Guerrero are all Spanish nationalities. Among the members of the team, Urces and Echeberia made their debut from the Real Madrid youth team and the Real Sociedad youth team respectively, while Guerrero was a standard Bilbao youth training and stayed in Bilbao from the beginning. ...

To some extent, Athletic Bilbao is the most difficult team in the world to coach, because players of other bloodlines cannot be purchased, making it very difficult to coach this team, so that football manager game players over the years, They all regard coaching Athletic Bilbao as a model of self-abuse, but often they are the best team to coach, because you don't need to rack your brains to buy people, you can only count on existing players and youth training, often Bilbao The fans are not too harsh. When choosing this club tradition, they have to bear the reality that the team may not have a championship for a long time.

However, the fans of Bilbao have been quite dissatisfied recently. This dissatisfaction is not because the team is only ranked in the middle-they have suffered worse results than this, but because their coach Fernandez did not do well before. In few games, players are always replaced in the middle of the game, but the one who is replaced is always their captain, a model of loyalty, Bilbao's golden boy Julen Guerrero...

For this young man who became famous, he was born in Bilbao's youth training. When Real Madrid and other big clubs flocked to him, he decisively signed a ten-year "sell contract" captain with Bilbao. Fans of Bilbao They worship him like a god! Although Guerrero's performance has not been particularly outstanding over the past year, the head coach Fernandez always starts him, but he will be replaced after halftime no matter how he performs. Bilbao fans will not tolerate it Such an insult to the captain!
