When the 70th minute of the game was in progress, more than a thousand Mallorca fans who came from afar suddenly burst into a huge cheer in the stands. In this game, Mallorca fans were completely against the sidelines. Because of their poor performance, La Coruna fans also seemed weak in the stands. At the same time, the relationship between La Coruna Club and Mallorca Club was also pretty good. La Coruna fans did not have much expectations or expectation for this game, so they watched the game very quietly until now, and the situation on the court made them unable to be happy.

The cheers from the Mallorca fans fell into the ears of the Mallorca players on the field, making them immediately feel refreshed!

At that moment, the players in Mallorca were a little lost. They subconsciously looked at the sidelines, and then they saw Jose gesturing a "v" gesture on the sidelines!

The players on the bench also waved their fists to express their excitement - because half a minute ago, news came from the Camp Nou Stadium - Fran scored a hat trick in this game with a beautiful lob shot, and also helped Villarreal tie the score!

"We have hope of winning the championship!" Such an idea popped up in the minds of all Mallorca players.

In the next game, the Mallorca players no longer have the intention to attack. After winning this game, they will have no other ** - if Torres was not injured, maybe they will try every means to push Torres to the top scorer, because Torres' current goals are twenty-four, and Mallorca has not yet produced a league's top scorer, Tristan, Luke, Etoo, Drogba... Etoo, who scored the most goals among them, only won the second league scorer last year...

Unfortunately, Torres' injury caused him to lose the chance to win the best scorer, and Mallorca is indeed nothing else to do next.

However, their advantage is great, which is enough to allow them to firmly control the situation on the court when they are a little distracted. Jose replaced the three main defenders on the court with two full-backs and Nadal to give them a good rest, but the frontcourt players did not change, and they needed to be more proficient in this tactic.

The next twenty minutes passed by the cheers of Mallorca fans. The next twenty minutes of the game was calm, and there was no news of a goal score on another field...

The referee ended the game in just one minute. The players of Mallorca did not have time to celebrate. They all ran off the court to hear good news. While La Coruna fans left the court, more than a thousand Mallorca fans did not choose to leave, but were also waiting in the stands for news from another field...

Jose was also very anxious at this time, but he did not show it. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Is the game over there not over yet? How long will it take to stoppage time?"

Natal, who had been listening to the game on the radio, looked up and smiled bitterly: "In the second half, Etoo knocked the goal post in a fight... So the game over there was delayed for five minutes, and now their stoppage time is eight minutes..."

The players in Mallorca cursed - this kind of waiting feeling really anxious...

But Jose did not curse, but asked with some concern: "Samuel knocked the goal post? Is he okay?"

The Mallorca players were stunned when they heard this. Unexpectedly, Jose would still care about his old players when he was so nervous. However, they also had an emotion that Jose seemed to be very good to every player he coached, and he didn't seem to treat them as an outsider. He scolded Tristan who transferred to La Coruna on the sidelines, which made him regain his fighting spirit and scolded Mota who was injured, blamed him for not taking good care of his body and now caring about Etoo's body...

Following such a coach is at least reassuring.

"It seems that there is no problem. He is still playing now." Natal replied, and this answer made Jose relieved and Mallorca players who have a good relationship with Etoo.

The Mallorca players were gathering in a circle and listening to the sounds coming from the radio, while Jose walked away. He didn't want to squeeze together at this time, and would rather wait quietly for the final result to appear.

After walking back and forth next to the visiting team coach's seat, Jose, who looked up, saw La Coruna's head coach Iruetta.

As mentioned before, Jose still respects Iruetta, not only because he is an excellent coach, but also because Iruetta is a person with good character - even if he makes friends, Iruetta is worthy of his gratitude.

"Jose, it seems that your league championship has hope. Barcelona is actually very easy to lose track in this situation." Iruetta said to Jose with a smile: "I still remember that in the 99-00 season, Barcelona was very strong and had already won two consecutive league titles. In fact, we didn't play well that season, especially in the final stage, but Barcelona played worse than us. They missed at least five more opportunities to overtake us. That season we only scored 69 points in the league, which was the lowest score in La Liga in ten years, but the final championship was still us."

Jose smiled slightly. He knew that Iruetta wanted to comfort himself. He also had a deep impression of the game that season, especially in the second half of the season - because he became Mallorca's head coach at that time, and La Coruna's winning of the championship was actually due to his contribution - Mallorca, led by him, defeated Barcelona 3-0 away, making Barcelona make mistakes in the next game...

"Thank you for your encouragement. I hope you can compete with your team again next season. La Coruna needs a blood change now. As long as the blood change goes smoothly, La Coruna will return to the championship ranks after one or two years." Jose said sincerely. He was telling the truth because he felt that a team like La Coruna should have a better ending, rather than being demoted to Class B after doing nothing for a few years...

"Maybe, but I'm old, tired, and out of date. Nowadays, football is not the time when an old guy like me can continue to rush on the front line." Iruetta smiled slightly, then pointed to his temples: "My thoughts are still the coaching thoughts of the last century, and this season is becoming more and more obvious, so I have decided that after the end of this season, I will resign as head coach of La Coruna. This team should have a better coach to lead it."

Jose was speechless. This old man was really stubborn. Although he had a good temper, he would not turn back what he decided on. This was comparable to that old guy Aragonese. The older generation of Spanish head coaches may not have achieved too high personal achievements, but they were all stubborn like stones.

"What a pity, what are you going to do next?" Jose asked tentatively. When Iruetta's tone was like preparing to never be a coach again...

"I don't want to continue being a coach anymore. Maybe I'll take a break and try to do something other football-related." Iruetta laughed: "I've been a coach for many years and I'm a little tired. I'd better go to live some easier days."

Jose sighed. He really didn't know what to say now. He knew that he could not persuade Iruetta, and no one could stop Iruetta from withdrawing from the front-line football. His contract with La Coruna has always been signed once a year. Even if La Coruna doesn't want to give up on him, this old man with strong self-esteem will not renew his contract again.

"Then... I wish you a good rest next." Jose could only congratulate Iruetta in the end. After all, Iruetta is fifty-seven years old. Although he is not old for the coach, people are different. Ferguson is seven years older than Iruetta, and at the age of seventy, he is still very active in the position of Manchester United head coach. He has slaughtered many head coaches who want to take over him. He is as energetic as he is forty. However, Iruetta, who is seven years younger than him, is already extremely tired...

"I won't have a long rest. Even if I don't become a coach, I can still do other football-related things, but I'm not as tired as a coach." Iruetta said with a smile.

Jose nodded slightly. The football circle is very large. If you don’t act as a coach, you can also be a different position. Boske is now living a life of being a special commentator and writing a press release.

At this moment, the Mallorca players who were in a circle suddenly burst into cheers, and then a louder cheer broke out in the stands!

Jose was excited!

"Go and celebrate with your players... It seems that you have hope for the Triple Crown this season!" Iruetta laughed and pushed Jose.

Jose looked up at him, then nodded, turned toward his players, while Iruetta smiled slightly and turned toward the player passage.

There is still one week left before Javier Iruetta retires.

When Jose walked over, Matthias rushed over with excitement and shouted loudly at Jose: "Boss, the game over there is over! The final score is three to three! Barcelona was tied by Villarreal! We are the first again! We will soon complete the honor of the triple crown!"

Jose looked at Matthias in ecstasy, and a smile slowly emerged on his face.

"Yes... Damian, we have the initiative again... How about it, did I say that as long as we can do it to the end, no one can surpass us, right?"

"That's right, that's it!" Matthias jumped around in the spot like an orangutan for several times, then turned around and greeted the players loudly: "Guys, you can't forget the fans who cheered us! Come, let's go and greet them together!"

Under his greeting, Mallorca's players followed him and laughed and rushed to the audience's fans, then lined up to applause and greeted the stands, then took off their jerseys one by one and threw them into the stands. The fans in the stands were excitedly scrambling for the sweaty jerseys - this is not something you can bump into in every game...

"We finally take the initiative again..." Natal sighed.

"That's right, but we haven't got the championship yet... In the next game, we will kill Real Betis at home and then win the championship at home! This will bring a perfect end to this season!" Jose waved his fist and said loudly.
Chapter completed!
