Chapter 114 Mallorca's Suppression

When Boske got Mallorca's starting lineup, he began to confirm that Mallorca would use defensive counterattack tactics in this game.

Goalkeeper Franco, defenders George, Nadal, Nino and Capdvilla, midfielders Karaze, Mota, Ngonga, Ronaldo, and the forward partners are Luke and Etoo.

Although compared with Mallorca who had a fierce attack in the last game, only one person was changed in the starting lineup, that is, Ngongga replaced Novo. However, Bosque could see that although Mallorca's midfielder was a diamond-shaped position on the surface, it was actually a defense of three midfielders - Karaze is a player with strong defensive ability, and Ngongga is a standard midfielder. There are three players with excellent defense in the midfield, so they can better protect the defense!

He got the starting lineup of Mallorca just two hours before the start of the game. In this case, it is impossible to substitute players unless a player is injured, but he will use the substitution quota in the game, so this lineup is definitely true and credible.

"Do you want to catch us off guard in this way? This young man is indeed very cunning."

Boske thought in his heart, and then he was full of confidence. No matter how cunning the foxes were, they could not fight against the good hunters. Although he only got the starting lineup of Mallorca at this time, he had made sufficient preparations for this game before. Since the opponent wanted to play a defensive counterattack, the key point was how to tear open the opponent's defense and fight against the opponent's counterattack...

Boske was not worried about tearing the opponent's defense. Raul's skills allowed him to create opportunities in the penalty area, and Morientes was different from Cruivet. His impact and point-grabbing ability were quite excellent. What's more, Figo in the midfield was a good player who could create opportunities in breakthroughs. With these three people alone, there would not be too much problem facing intensive defense.

As for Mallorca's counterattack, Bosque was indeed a little worried. Ronaldo and Etoo are both fast players, and their cooperation is also tacit, which is a great pressure on Real Madrid's defense line.

Therefore, Boske sent Savio as the left forward in this game, reminding Carlos to reduce his assists - his speed will be the most powerful weapon to suppress Etoo, and Marklele's mission in this game will also be to freeze Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, the initiator of the attack, used Marclayle to freeze the attack, and used Carlos to deal with Etoo, the sharpest arrow in Mallorca's counterattack. Bosque felt that this would basically make Mallorca's counterattack play no role.

As for Luke, he also plays an important part in Mallorca's offense, but he is an auxiliary player. He can help Ronaldo and create opportunities for Etoo, but he helps his teammates score goals and can score goals himself, but he needs his teammates to create opportunities. As long as Ronaldo and Etoo, Luke will have less room to play!

After thinking about it carefully, Boske felt that his tactics had no loopholes, so he asked the players to play and prepare for the game with confidence.

When Boske walked out of the player channel, the players on both sides were already preparing for the game to begin. At this time, he saw Jose standing next to the visiting team coach's seat. After sensing his gaze, Jose turned his head and gave Boske a friendly smile.

If it is a positional attack, there is actually no need to do this. Boske has only one reason to do this, that is, to prevent Mallorca from using the tactic of quick counterattack to deal with him.

"That's the best thing you think about it..." Jose was showing the friendly smile on his face, but he was constantly proud of himself.

******************************************

Just five minutes into the game, Boske, who was originally in the old god, found something was wrong.

Because from the first minute of the game, Mallorca's formation was relatively high, and he launched a fierce press in the midfield. Nino followed Morientes, Mota and Karaze joined forces to deal with Figo, but let Raul go. When other players got the ball, other Mallorca's players also launched a vigorous press in the midfield!

The pressing of pushing Mallorca's defense line in the first 30 meters is enough to make Real Madrid's offensive players in a hurry!

After grabbing the ball, they will immediately launch an offense on the spot, passing it back and forth quickly between several players in the frontcourt, and then completing the shot immediately!

In just five minutes, Mallorca made two consecutive shots, and Etoo and Luke made one shot. Fortunately, Casillas reacted quickly and made two wonderful saves in a row to ensure the goal was not lost!

"They are actually fighting against each other?" Boske was stunned for a moment, and then realized that something was wrong.

Although Mallorca's midfielder put three midfielders with strong defensive capabilities, their offense did not weaken at all. The two full-backs pressed very well, while Karaze and Ngongga made up for the two wings. It was precisely because of this that Boske's tactics were set up by all players!

He had previously arranged how to get a chance to score under the opponent's dense defense. However, now Mallorca's defense has pushed thirty meters in front of the defense line, and all the environments are very different - after thirty meters, you can shoot by breaking through. Now, even if you break through Mallorca's defense, you need to advance a distance to create a threat to the goal. In the case where Real Madrid's offensive players are not particularly fast and Mallorca's defense has increased a lot, the effect of this tactic has become not so good...

What about Mallorca? With the overall formation in advance, they can immediately attack after grabbing the ball and bypass the opponent's two midfielders. Ronaldo is more active on the left side, while Etoo is restraining on the right. The short pass cooperation between several people can often immediately reach the penalty area of ​​Real Madrid!

This kind of suppressive attack that runs back and forth without any energy, Mallorca obviously wants to suppress Real Madrid in the first half and then gain a leading advantage!

Boske didn't know how to adjust this situation for a while. Fortunately, he arranged a lot of defensive players in this game. After the midfield was faintly suppressed by the opponent with a large-scale running, he was able to maintain a sufficient line of defense. Marklele tried to put out the fire back and forth in the midfield and intercepted Mallorca's offensive to a large extent.

"This guy... is really important to Real Madrid."

Piri, who was watching the live broadcast of this game in Mallorca, couldn't help but mutter to himself after seeing Maclalee start and cut off Mota's pass in advance halfway.

He didn't pay much attention to Real Madrid's games before, maybe because he was avoiding watching Real Madrid's games deep down, but in this game, he began to realize that this Marklele may indeed be very important to Real Madrid now.

Real Madrid's midfield is not short of offensive players, Figo, McManaman, Savio, Munitis... Even Brazilian Flavio Concesan is a good player in organizing offense, but only Marklele is the midfielder who can be willing to defend. To a certain extent, he maintains Real Madrid's midfield balance and allows Real Madrid's midfield to be protected. Only he has this ability. Piri, who is extremely familiar with Real Madrid, thought for a long time but did not expect a player who can replace Marklele's position.

But he doesn't think he lost. After all, for Real Madrid, even if Marklele leaves, they can buy an excellent defensive midfielder.
