Chapter 116
On October 10, Mallorca played against Osasuna at home. With the support of more than 27 spectators, Osasuna's defense collapsed after only resisting for 2 minutes. The second half just started. The midfielder broke through the opponent's defense and passed the ball. After receiving the ball, Eto'o swayed past the opponent's goalkeeper and sent the ball into the empty goal. Mallorca opened the scoring first.

Only 10 minutes later, Campano's shot was blocked by the opponent's defender from the bottom line. Pei Wei sent a corner kick to the back point. Nino, who inserted an assist, made a powerful header to lock the score at 2:0. Osasuna again Without the ability to fight back, Mallorca won four consecutive victories.

Three days later, that is, on October 10, Mallorca, which only sent half of the main force, defeated the opponent Fronchi in the second round of the UEFA Cup 31:2 in Poland. Roberto and Delgado (suspended only in La Liga) each Scored a goal, while Pei Wei and Eto'o stayed in Mallorca to rest.

On November 11, Mallorca challenged Valladolid in an away game. Delgado, whose suspension expired, started and formed a strike partner with Eto'o.

Before the game, Mallorca also received an unexpected honor. Due to their outstanding performance in October, they won three consecutive victories in the league and two consecutive victories in the UEFA Cup, and the best team award in the Spanish League in October It was awarded to them, and the old coach Aragones also won the title of the best coach in October.

The Mallorca team, which won this honor, beat the home team to shame in front of more than 1 Valladolid fans. Only 3 minutes into the game, Pei Wei and Ibagaza came to a swap. Under the cover of Bagasa, Pei Wei easily broke through to the bottom line, and then passed a well-timed cross. Delgado, who had held back for four games, let out a roar and smashed into the air the two pincers attacking him. The defender, and then facing the ball is a powerful rush to the top. Valladolid's goalkeeper just waved his hand subconsciously. The ball has already rushed into the net and hit the net high.

After the goal, Delgado and Eto'o, who came up to celebrate, jumped up together. Their bodies collided heavily in the air, and the heavy collision sound made Pei Wei speechless.

"Damn, black people are strong, I dare not run into them..." Pei Wei was about to sneak back to the half court, but he knew that Delgado had already run over, knocked him to the ground, and pressed him down.

"My God..." Pei Wei only yelled for a while before being submerged under the teammates who came one after another. By the time the teammates who pressed up on him left, Pei Wei had already rolled his eyes.

When he stood in the middle circle and was about to kick off, Pei Wei said viciously in Delgado's ear: "Good guy, is this how you treat the benefactor who assists you? I will make a note of it. Don't think about it again next time." Pass the ball for you!"

"Oh, I don't want to, I accidentally pulled it...hehe..." Although Delgado was apologetic, his expression made Pei Wei's teeth itch with hatred, just seeing Delgado's 1.9-meter body With that muscular body, Pei Wei wisely gave up the idea of ​​using his fists to teach him a lesson.

The funny laughter of the two of them on the field angered the Valladolid players. Damn, even if your team is stronger than us and ranks above us, this is our home field!
The Valladolid team members, who felt that they lost face, started a frenzied attack. The target of their attack was of course Mallorca's frequent mistakes on the right side some time ago!
Valladolid's left midfielder broke through to the baseline, and just as he was about to make a cross, a foot stretched out from behind him, shoveling him out of the baseline with the ball.

"Damn!" Pablo jumped up from the ground: "Don't underestimate me! How can I say that I am also a member of the Spanish national team!"

"Good job!" Nadal patted Pablo's head: "Keep the ball!"

Valladolid took a corner kick, Nadal forced the opponent to drive the ball out of the penalty area, and Marcos cleared the ball far away.

Valladolid's defender unexpectedly fell off the top, and Eto'o, who stepped in after receiving the ball, shot directly, and was thrown into his arms by the quick-responsive goalkeeper of the opponent.

There was a stalemate on the scene. The two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was extremely lively, but neither of them could pose a substantial threat to the opponent's defense.

Aragones looked at his watch on the sidelines. It was already No. 40 minutes in the first half, and Mallorca still took the lead.

If this score can be maintained until the end of the first half, it will be very beneficial to Mallorca, and in the second half it will return to the counterattack that Mallorca is good at.

Although Valladolid is a weak team, their home results are very good. They have remained unbeaten in the three home games since the beginning of this season, with two wins and one draw. Just look at their opponents and you will know how impressive this home unbeaten record is.

These three opponents are Villarreal, Real Madrid and Barcelona!In addition to the 1:1 draw with Real Madrid, they even beat Barcelona 2:1 at home!

Therefore, this game is definitely not as easy as imagined before the game!
I was really afraid that there were ghosts everywhere, just when Aragones was looking forward to the end of the first half, Valladolid equalized the score!
A seemingly harmless pass, a long-range shot from Valladolid's defensive midfielder, the ball was not fast enough, and the shot was not sharp enough, and after flying into the penalty area, it accidentally hit Nino's body. After a while, the ball flew to the other end of the goal. Franco had already made a save posture, so he had to lie on the ground and watch the ball fly into the net!

"Damn! No way! Can this kind of ball be scored?" Delgado, who saw this scene from a distance, couldn't help but curse out.

"It's shit luck, damn it, their home court is really evil." Eto'o couldn't help but shook his head.

At the end of the first half, the Valladolid fans cheered and sent their heroes off the field, while the Mallorca players who were also in a draw returned to the lounge one by one dejected.

In the lounge, Aragones said only one sentence: "In the second half, keep attacking! Kick those guys who rely on luck to the Mediterranean Sea!"

After the start of the second half, Mallorca unexpectedly launched a confrontation with the home team!
After receiving the ball, Marcos pretended to pass the ball to deceive the opponent, then dribbled the ball into the opponent's half, and gave the ball to Ibagaza before the opponent came up. Ibagaza did not pass after the bottom, Instead, the ball was distributed to the front of the penalty area, Pei Wei took advantage of the opportunity to wipe over the opponent's defender, and then volleyed!
The opposing goalkeeper struggled to save the ball over the baseline, Mallorca's corner.

Pei Wei cleverly sent a ground ball directly to the penalty area. Eto'o quickly ran to the front point to catch the ball. The opponent's defender immediately forced him from behind. Everyone thought he would pass the ball out At this time, he forcibly turned around and shot at a small angle!

The ball hit the post and popped out of the bottom line, startling the opposing goalkeeper into a cold sweat.

"Good job!" Pei Wei said to Eto'o while running back.

"Unfortunately did not enter." Eto'o shrugged.

"It seems that you have no shit luck today." Delgado stretched his head from the side.

The relaxed mood enabled Mallorca's players to perform well on the field, and Valladolid at home was completely suppressed in terms of momentum.

The deadlock was finally broken in the No.60 minute. Pei Wei and Ibagaza switched positions. When Valladolid's defenders focused on the two of them, Ibagaza passed the ball diagonally to the side. , Eto'o, who was inserted in the back row, passed the ball to the center. Delgado relied on his strong body to get stuck in the position, leaned on the opponent's defender and shot with his foot, and the ball hit the net.

The Mallorca team, which led again, was not conservative. They continued to launch a tide-like attack. Valladolid's defense finally collapsed. Pei Wei took the ball in front of the penalty area and passed the ball to the penalty area. Delgado caught up With a shovel shot from the back of the ball, the ball went into the net for the third time!
"Haha!" Delgado threw Pei Wei down again, and said in his ear, "Didn't you say you won't pass the ball to me? Why did you pass it again?"

"Brother, please forgive me, my ribs are almost broken..." Pei Wei said weakly.

hat trick!Delgado ushered in his first hat-trick in Mallorca!It is estimated that Southampton, which is now in the relegation zone of the Premier League, has begun to regret it very much.

Seeing that the victory was decided, Aragones replaced both Pei Wei and Delgado in one breath, leaving only Eto'o to harass in front.

With the whistle of the referee, the game ended. Mallorca won five consecutive victories, tying the record of last season, and only one step away from the longest six-game winning streak in history!
Three days later, the fatigued Mallorca ushered in the second round of the second round of the UEFA Cup at home. Considering that the main players were very tired and the strength of the opponent was also weak, Aragones boldly used a full substitute lineup , and these players who are rarely on the field are also very competitive. In the first half, they relied on Robert and Bagani's goals to solve their opponents. The sky was weak, with a total score of 4:2, and Mallorca successfully entered the third round.

On November 11th, before the start of the game, Aragones' words raised the fighting spirit of the Mallorca players!

"Boys! Just like last year, we have another five-game winning streak. Last year our winning streak only stayed at five games. This year our goal is to go one step further. If we win six games in a row, we will even Do you want to be the heroes of Mallorca, breaking the record of our club?"

"We do!"

The game started, and the rotation of Aragones played a role. The main players on the field were all full of energy and energy, and there was no sign of continuous battles at all.

Alaves was unlucky to become their victim. Their weak strength was defeated by Mallorca's all-round attack. No. 30 minutes, Pei Wei received Delgado's return pass and scored consecutively. Breaking through the two defenders, he volleyed successfully in the penalty area!
In the second half, Mallorca didn't mean to stop attacking. In 67 minutes and 78 minutes, Ibagaza and Eto'o scored two more goals. Before the game, they thought it would be difficult to win the game so easily. Mallorca is Make history.

On November 11th, Mallorca challenged Racing Santander in an away game. The coach of Racing Santander said in an interview with the media before the game that although Mallorca has been in full swing recently, the state is also the best among La Liga teams in the past two months. yes, but—

"There are highs and lows. This is an eternal truth. Even the best team in the world will have ups and downs. The peaks and lows are often only between one or two games. Their recent form is indeed very good. Okay, but we believe that our players will let them know how good it is."

"But this game is a battle where they may break the record, and they will definitely do their best..."

The reporter was interrupted by the coach of Racing Santander in the middle of the sentence: "Yes, they will do their best in this game. Breaking the record is their motivation, but it is also their pressure. The smooth They will play better and better, but if they suffer setbacks, their mentality will be out of balance, and then our chance will come."

************************************************
"This guy is right." Looking at the coach of Racing Santander talking on TV, Aragones said with emotion.

"What's the matter, just work hard for yourself." An assistant coach said disdainfully.

"You know what!" Aragones said viciously: "He already knows our situation very well, and he has fully explained our problem. I am also worrying about this these days, and his eyes are still That's really sharp...how is Racing Santander doing now?"

"Not so good..." Another assistant coach flipped through the information in his hand: "Nine rounds with two wins, two draws and five losses, and now the ranking is at the bottom... It seems that this coach's ability to lead the team is not very good."

"Really?" The old man was a little surprised: "What's this guy's name?"

"Manzano, Gregorio Manzano, this year he led a professional league team for the first time. His reputation is not very good. It seems that the players of Santander don't buy his account... By the way, it is said that he He's a master's degree in psychology, a gifted coach."

"How can a scholar manage a group of wolves... Haha, it's better to become a psychiatrist. I guess this guy is about to leave get out of class."

Aragones looked at the two happy assistant coaches and shook his head helplessly.

Without keen observation skills, no matter how experienced you two guys are, you can only be assistants.

But is that observant guy on TV just a show?Aragones suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
