Chapter 488 Super Cup first win
Updated: 2012-08-31
Klose, who played for Mallorca for the first time, did not perform particularly well in the game. He did not adapt to Mallorca's frontcourt running, but he also made his own contribution. He completed the ball well after several retracements. His running in the penalty area also gave Real Madrid's two central defenders a headache - as a typical center forward, Klose is completely different from Drogba. He rarely relies on his body to grab any position with the opponent's central defender. Although he scored a lot of headers, he basically succeeded in sports battles. The most you see is that he inserted the header in the back row, headed the ball horizontally, and headed the ball first... Basically, he couldn't see him jumping on the spot and then carried the opponent's defender in the air and then headed the ball - Drogba is doing such a thing.
So the defense of a center is actually a headache. In some cases, Klose is actually very similar to Inzaghi, but he is much stronger than Inzaghi, and he can also withdraw and get the ball. This is why Jose is confident of cultivating Klose. It’s not that he doesn’t have this ability, but he just rarely gets the opportunity to exercise. Of course, what makes Jose most confident is Klose’s performance in the World Cup two years later…
Because Ram and Macon are both players with strong assist capabilities, Mallorca made many crosses on both wings, but the difference between the two is that Ram often stops and passes an inner arc ball after pulling the ball, while Macon often hits the 45-degree angle and then pulls out the gap and directly passes the outer arc ball. The accuracy of their crossing is actually not particularly high, but they are often very threatening.
The newly joined Samuel performed well. He focused on Klose to a large extent. Although his feet were not moving enough, he relied on excellent judgment and rich experience to succeed, so that Klose did not play a big role.
However, when he performed well, another central defender, Pavin, was in a mess under the impact of Torres. When Pavin entered the first team, he was called the representative of Real Madrid youth team and was the implementer of Zidanega Pavin's policy, Torres also began to make his mark in another team in Madrid. However, now, Torres has begun to have the ability to become the main force of Mallorca and has the potential to become the top scorer in La Liga. In his eagerness to use quick success and constant attacks on confidence, even if he can start at Real Madrid, it is considered to be the most easily exploitable link on Real Madrid's defense...
Now, Torres completed a lightning strike when facing the biggest loophole of Real Madrid!
Maicon stepped forward on the right and attacked. Klose started running back in the penalty area, attracting Samuel's attention. However, Maicon did not make a cross this time, but lifted his foot and passed the ball across to Kaka who was receiving the ball. After Kaka received the ball, he made a straight pass. Torres took the ball and turned to face Pavin!
Parvin half twisted his body and defended Torres in a very awkward posture, which made Torres stunned for a moment, thinking that it was a defensive method that shocked the world and the ghosts. Then he found that Parvin had not had time to turn around completely...
After understanding this, Torres immediately decisively dribbled the ball forward, first tweaking the ball to the left, then quickly dunked the ball from the right, and rushed over the busy Pavin!
When Pavin turned around, Torres had already driven into the penalty area, and then decisively shot the ball against Casillas who was attacking before Samuel came to fill the spot!
Facing this close-range shot, Casillas' reaction was a step further. The ball flew past his armpit and then flew into the goal quickly!
Thousands of Mallorca fans who came to the Bernabeu immediately burst into loud cheers!
"The ball is in! Fernando Torres! After being straightened, Torres scored the first goal of Mallorca's official game this season! Beautiful extraordinary! Pavin was completely shaken by Torres! Real Madrid's defense does not seem to have much enhancement compared to last season... If this problem is not solved, Real Madrid will not be able to compete with Real Mallorca this season. Obviously, even if Etoo and Drogba's departure reduce Mallorca's attack power, their scoring ability has not decreased much. Torres can fully carry Mallorca's forward line! After Klose plays out his abilities, Mallorca's scoring ability on the front line will not be much worse than last season!"
Torres ran to the audience's fans with his arms wide open, and then waved his fists hard - although he is wearing Mallorca's red jersey now, he is produced by Atletico Madrid's bedsheets - as long as he is an Atletico Madrid man, there is no doubt about this!
"here you go."
Jose slapped the court. Mallorca's offense retained its previous style, which was the combination of side and middle, and the full-back assisted very well. At the same time, the follow-up of the midfield players was timely. However, last season, Mallorca's two forwards were able to complete the attack more with their own abilities, and what was shown in this game was different.
Klose is less fighting in the frontcourt, but more active and concealed in running. Torres is more able to complete passes and cooperate with the midfielder. He is better than Etoo in terms of passing and receiving awareness, but the speed and decisiveness of the breakthrough are a little worse.
In short, the two black winds before were better in their abilities, but as long as Torres and Klose were better integrated into the team's overall tactics, the role they could play may not be much worse than Drogba and Etoo.
Torres' goal occurred in the 38th minute. Real Madrid, who was behind, launched a counterattack. However, in the midfield, they could not suppress Mallorca. In this case, Raul had to retreat more to the midfield to participate in the offense. Only Ronaldo could attack in the frontcourt to pose a threat...
Last season's La Liga Golden Boot Ronaldo obviously seemed to have not yet rested in the summer. He seemed a little lazy on the court. Facing Mallorca's two young central defenders who were like wolves and tigers, he chose to avoid physical collisions. In this case, it would be strange that the counterattack effect would be good...
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, Mallorca led Real Madrid with one goal away. Mallorca may not have many advantages in the whole game, but they created more threatening shots than Real Madrid. If Casillas had not had two wonderful saves, perhaps Real Madrid would have fallen behind more.
During the break, Jose praised the players' performance in the first half, and then announced that they would switch to defense more in the second half, testing the defensive ability of the current defense line. Then he changed two people in a row, replaced Iniesta, who performed well in the first half, and then replaced Klose with Puerta, and Mallorca changed the team and started dealing with Real Madrid in the 451st.
"Remember, run more and find out what you felt before." Jose said to Mendita.
Then he had only one advice to Puerta - "Find an opportunity to get the ball, and then fly up on the left!"
Puerta played in high spirits. He didn't expect that he would have the chance to play in such a game before. However, Jose really wanted to do something on the left. In fact, since Stankovic transferred and left, Mallorca's midfielder has never been a full-time left forward. When Karaze was there, he was actually more helping with defense. When Ronaldo was there, he also took the left middle into consideration. After Ronaldo left, the left side was almost completely handed over to the full-back, first Capdvilla and then Ram. This kind of full-back assist tactic is always easy to be stared at. Although Puerta has the task factor and wants to prepare for Ram's possible departure in the future, it is also a huge factor to want to have a full-time player in the midfield who is active on the wing to add more possibilities to the tactics.
Puerta was quite excited after playing. He kept receiving passes from his teammates and also made breakthroughs on the left. His physical fitness was not bad. His height of 1.83 meters and his weight of 74 kilograms were not inferior to Pindecissor Salgado. Pindecissor is still almost thirty years old after all, and his condition has declined quite well in the past two seasons.
Puerta's performance aroused unanimous praise from Mallorca fans on the sidelines. Once Puerta used a pretty fancy heel to pick the ball and escaped Salgado's defense and passed the ball into the penalty area. Torres followed up and shot with a strong shot. If Samuel hadn't blocked his shot beautifully, Mallorca would have led two goals...
Compared with Puerta's eye-catching performance, Mendeta's performance is a bit quiet. This midfielder who led Valencia to confront Real Madrid a few years ago is now different from the past. He didn't even get much applause when he came on the court. After he came on the court, he just ran back and forth in the midfield diligently, receiving the ball, passing, running, and receiving...
However, Jose nodded slightly. Mendeta's performance was not eye-catching, but what he did was an inconspicuous but very important job. Mallorca's midfield is very technical. Alonso, Kaka, and Puerta are all very skilled players, and their passing awareness is also very good. Although Senna is inconspicuous, his timely pass and passes in the midfield can make Mallorca's midfield offense smoother. Mallorca's midfield runs well and the offense will be effective.
After Mendeta came on the court, the operation of Mallorca's midfield did not stagnate, and this was his role.
"It's a pity that his feet are not good enough, so there is nothing we can do about it. Compared with Iniesta now, there is still a certain difference..." Jose thought to himself.
In terms of technical content, Real Madrid's midfield is not inferior to Mallorca at all, but they are at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness and condition - except Elgra, among the other three midfielders, Beckham and the national team entered the knockout stage together, and Zidane was the same. He performed well in the group stage, and this outstanding performance requires physical fitness as a price, especially for a superstar like him who is over 30 years old, Figo is even more so - he has led the team to the finals in the Portuguese national team, and the physical overdrawn is not a little bit.
If they play more games, they will naturally be a few days later in the team's training camp, and their condition will be a little late. In terms of midfield, even if Mallorca is not in good shape, they can still suppress it in the midfield!
Raymond was not idle. He made three consecutive substitutions, including Irving's replacement of Ronaldo who was running casually, and then Morientes replaced Zidane who was ineffective. Raul returned to the midfield. The last substitution was to replace Robert Carlos with Solari - however, this substitution did not have any effect. When the final whistle sounded, the score was 1-0. Mallorca defeated Real Madrid away and won the first game of the Spanish Super Cup!
Chapter completed!
