Chinese champion

Chapter 203 The situation is clear
"Time is running out." Manzano looked at his watch anxiously. There are only 10 minutes left before the end of the game, and there is only about a quarter of an hour in stoppage time. A draw is meaningless to both sides. It will only benefit Valencia fisherman.

"Beep—" the referee's whistle sounded, and Eto'o tackled Beckham, who was holding the ball, from the rear in a counterattack. The referee gave him a foul and showed Eto'o a yellow card.

Manzano's heart shrank suddenly. He suddenly remembered something, and turned to Ferrando, "How many yellow cards has Samuel already received?"

Ferrando obviously thought of this question at the same time, he hastily took out a notebook and flipped through it, and raised his head with a wry smile: "The fifth one, he will be suspended for the next game."

Although this result was expected, Manzano was still disappointed, which means that in the next game, Mallorca will lose their top scorer.

Eto'o on the field obviously hasn't thought about this problem. He doesn't have any disappointed expression on his face, and he is still running on the field.

Manzano glanced at Ferrando with a wry smile: "Let's not talk about that yet, winning this game is better than anything else, if you can't win it...then it doesn't matter if you have him or not in the next game. "

Ferlando understands what he means. If there is only one draw in this game, then the gap with Valencia will widen to four points. With only two rounds left in the league, Valencia is counting on two rounds. A losing streak is unrealistic.

Manzano made two substitutions. Delgado replaced Garcia. This move was obviously to increase the impact of the frontcourt. Panovic replaced Ismail. Plenty of physical strength on the court.

Queiroz also made a substitution, and the teenager Pochettino replaced the captain Raul, who had obviously lost his physical strength.

With 10 minutes left in the game, the coaches of both sides replaced a striker at the same time. The intention was very obvious. What we want is three points!

Zidane took the ball in the midfield. Panovic, who Mallorca had just played, immediately made a fierce steal. Zidane's foot slipped and the ball was lost. Mallorca immediately launched a counterattack!

Campano got the ball and then passed the ball to Pei Wei in front of him. Pei Wei leaned on Beckham and sent the ball back. After receiving the ball, Campano directly hoisted it to the penalty area, and Delgado jumped high Shake your head and attack the goal!

Casillas's beautiful diving to get the ball, at this stage of the game, San Casillas is still extremely stable, and the two conceded goals did not detract from his brilliance.

Throwing the ball to launch an attack, Carlos took advantage of Campano's lack of return to defend and advanced with the ball at high speed. He pushed until near Mallorca's penalty area before meeting Potenza's interception. He did not break through by himself, but passed the ball It was assigned to the foot of Zidane in the middle.

Zidane sent the ball back again, two to one, Carlos received the ball near the baseline, and then kicked a cross!

Bolano also made a world-class save as Ronaldo's header was firmly in his arms.

During this period of time, Pei Wei's performance was mediocre. The pincer attacks of Beckham and Cambiasso caused him a lot of headaches. Beckham ran actively, and Cambiasso defended fiercely. Without a good assistant, he had to keep dropping back to get the ball.

Campano handed the ball to Pei Wei. Although Pei Wei caught the ball, he was unable to turn around under the defense of the two opponents and had to pass the ball back to Panovic.

Although the ball is not at his feet now, Beckham and Cambiasso are still at his side. At this point in the game, everyone knows in their hearts that Mallorca's attack must be launched from Pei Wei's feet. As long as Pei Wei can't hold the ball well, Mallorca's offense will not be able to play.

Pei Wei ran to the right. At the same time, Campano and him had a change of position and ran to the middle. Beckham and Cambiasso had been prepared. Beckham followed Pei Wei and Camby Yasuo still stayed in the middle, just paying close attention to Pei Wei's movements.

Sure enough, seeing that there was one less person staring at Pei Wei, Panovich immediately passed the ball back to Pei Wei's feet. Pei Wei accelerated and kicked off Beckham a little while catching the ball, and the ball went smoothly. stopped at the foot.

Cambiasso ran over, ready to join Beckham to flank Pei Wei. He had just run halfway when he saw a round object passing by him. Pei Wei actually passed the ball at this time!

Unprepared Cambiasso failed to intercept Pei Wei's pass, the ball flew to the front of the penalty area, and Campano received the ball!

What happened suddenly, Real Madrid's two defensive midfielders were pulled to the side, and the defense in the middle was empty, while the central defender was in charge of defending Mallorca's two strikers. Suddenly, no one came up to defend Campano, Campano Nuo took advantage of the trend and entered the penalty area, and immediately kicked and volleyed!
The shot was powerful and the angle was very tricky. Casillas jumped up vigorously, but the ball still passed between his fingers and rushed into the goal quickly!

3:2!Mallorca leads for the third time in this game!
After scoring the goal, Campano couldn't believe that he had scored such a crucial goal. He didn't know until the referee pointed to the middle circle. Excited, he was about to rush to the sidelines to celebrate, but was caught The teammates who were equally excited grabbed him and put him under him.

"Great! Alejandro!" Manzano laughed loudly: "I didn't expect this key goal to be scored by him, it really surprised me!"

What he said makes sense. Although Campano has always been the main force in the midfield, he has always been the most inconspicuous among the midfielders on the field. He plays hard and does not score many goals. Just now This goal is only his third league goal this season, not even as much as the defender Nino, but this goal has become Mallorca's most important goal this season!
Campano shed tears on the field. This goal is an affirmation of his efforts!
"If Miguel really wants to retire after this season, I think Alejandro will be the best candidate for the next captain!" Manzano turned to Ferrando and said.

Ferlando nodded in agreement. Although Campano's skills are not outstanding and his reputation is not great, he was born in the Mallorca youth training system and has been working hard. He is indeed a player who can inspire the team at critical moments. Morale character!
Campano's goal in the 83rd minute broke Real Madrid's morale, and their offense began to become weak. Of course, physical strength is also a very important factor. The two veteran midfielders Zidane and Figo It's almost impossible to run.

Queiroz made a desperate move, Guti and Solari came on, replacing Zidane and Figo, but it was too late, Mallorca tenaciously kept the score until the last moment, 3:2, Mallorca In the away game against Real Madrid, they won this crucial three-pointer!
After this round of competition, the situation gradually became clear. Valencia ranked first with 77 points, and Mallorca ranked second with 75 points. After defeating Celta, the points have been tied with Real Madrid, relying on the advantage of goal difference to squeeze out the opponent and rank No.70!

********************************
"What? I can't play? Why?" Eto'o's loud voice rang in Manzano's office.

Can he be in a hurry?Now he and Ronaldo are tied for first place in the scorer list, and it is at the last moment of the competition. If he can't play, wouldn't he give up the top scorer to the bald man he has been unconvinced?
"You think I don't want you to play? Who wants you to get a yellow card in the last game, and you will be suspended if you accumulate five yellow cards, do you know?" Manzano stared: "The Spaniard is not It's not easy to play, you think I want to lose one of you, I'm so mad, didn't you think about the consequences when you tackled the ball back then?"

Eto'o scratched his head in frustration. He had indeed forgotten that he was about to be suspended, otherwise he would not have shoveled that kick, but now, it is too late to say anything.

Pei Wei patted him on the shoulder and comforted him and said, "It's okay, we can win the next game without you. Augustine and Robert have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Damn, are you disgusting me on purpose?" Eto'o said angrily, "It's not that I have any complaints about them playing, it's just that it's boring to think that they can't score. I must play in the last round, don't let I didn't have the motivation to play at that time!"

Of course Pei Wei knew what the "motivation" was in his mouth, he smiled: "Don't worry, we will win, and we will definitely keep the suspense until the last round!"

"Don't chat here, go out, I still have a lot of things to do." Manzano began to drive them away, Eto'o grinned: "Boss, what's the matter, why don't you just sit here in a daze, let Let us stay with you for a while!"

"Are you looking for a fight?" Manzano raised his hand, and Eto'o dragged Pei Wei out. Manzano smiled. These two guys have always been so restless.

But thanks to the two of them, a typical mid-range team like Mallorca can get to where it is today. I just don’t know how long it will last like this, and whether I will have the opportunity to command such an outstanding team again. player...

************************************
"Fuck, what are you doing!" Seeing Delgado's header go wide again, Manzano yelled angrily on the sidelines, and the score on the large electronic screen above the stands was even more like An awl pierced his heart like an awl.

RCD Mallorca 0: Espanyol 2!Only half an hour later in the first half, Mallorca fell behind the Spaniard 0:2 at home!
Perhaps due to the excessive pressure, the Mallorca players appeared stiff on the field, obviously out of shape, and had an astonishingly high turnover rate!
Even Pei Wei, who has always been very stable, made a few mistakes that should not have been made in the game. It can be seen how badly Mallorca played in the first three 10 minutes.

In the 5th minute of the first half, the Spaniard caught a pass error from the Mallorca midfielder. De La Pena broke into the penalty area with the ball, and was tackled to the ground by Nino who returned to the defense. A penalty kick!

The top scorer of the Spaniard, Tamudo, calmly scored the goal and scored the goal for the Spaniard!
Although Mallorca launched an attack after conceding the goal, their offensive efficiency was very low due to unnecessary mistakes. There were only four shots for 10 minutes, including a long-range shot from 30 meters away by Garcia. .

The Spaniard's press in the midfield was very fierce, while the lagging Mallorca side seemed very anxious, which also prevented them from using their technical advantages to attack step by step. Instead, they played the long pass that the opponent is good at. , the game fell into chaos, the audience only saw the ball flying in the air continuously, and almost didn't play a decent match!

Faced with this situation, the Spaniard's players don't care, because they are already leading now, and this style of play is also their favorite way. The impatience produced by the over-eager desire for victory made them not calm down due to the chaotic situation on the court, and the less calm they became, the more frequent the players' mistakes were. The two formed a terrible Vicious circle!
Mallorca finally paid the price for their poor state. No.207 minutes, the Spaniard scored another victory in the counterattack, and it was Tamudo who scored the goal. He passed the wide pass without defense The ball easily headed into the gate guarded by Bolano, and the Spaniard expanded his lead!
Mallorca, who fell behind by two goals, was finally sober, but mistakes still existed, and there was no way to pose any threat to the Spaniard who was fully defending.

Manzano's face was ashen, but another piece of news made him feel better. The news from the Ballad Stadium, Valencia also seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. They fell behind Villa 1:2 in the away game Lille!Goals from Sonny Anderson and Riquelme give Villareal a surprise lead over Valencia!

At the end of the first half, Manzano turned and walked to the locker room.Usually he is always the last, but today, he is the first!
The team members walked in quietly, they all knew that they played very badly in the first half, no wonder the coach looked so bad.

"This is a farce!" After everyone walked into the lounge, Manzano slammed the notebook on the table angrily!
The team members were silent, not even daring to breathe. Manzano took a deep breath to calm down.

"I know everyone wants to win this game, and I want to, I want to die. On the other field, Valencia is also 1:2 behind the opponent, this is our chance! But first, we have to win first Next game! The Spaniards are not easy to play, but in my opinion, we who have defeated Valencia, Real Madrid, and Barcelona can definitely beat them! But the premise is that we can play at a normal level! Saying this, I There is no other meaning, I just want everyone to calm down and face this game with a normal attitude. Yes, this game is very important, and it is related to whether we can win the championship, but I hope everyone can treat this game as a Play an ordinary game, what if we are behind by two goals? Then we will score three or four! Until the final whistle, it is us standing proudly! It is our Real Mallorca!"

"You have to remember that you are wearing a Mallorca jersey, you have to be worthy of the number on your body, and the spectators who are watching the game. Remember, no matter when and where, don't go to them. It is responsible to football, to the audience, and to yourselves!"

After speaking, Manzano opened the door and left, leaving only a group of players in the locker room.

"Brothers, the coach is right. We shouldn't behave like this." Nadal said in a low voice: "As the captain, I have the responsibility. In the second half, that boy Tamudo will be handed over to me. I will let him take the No ball."

"I won't waste opportunities like I did in the first half, I will score." Delgado also vowed.

The atmosphere became heated, and the players expressed their opinions in a hurry. Unknowingly, the tension that had been surrounding them was greatly diluted.

"For the fans, for the victory, let's go!"

Five minutes after the start of the second half, Pei Wei broke through with the ball in the middle, and then distributed the ball to the unguarded Campano. Campano made a precise cross, and Delgado made a beautiful and powerful header Hammer wins back a point!
The Mallorca fans finally waited for this moment, they loudly cheered for the team, and the Mallorca players became more and more courageous!
In just 10 minutes, Mallorca had three very threatening shots. The Spaniard's goalkeeper Songao became the busiest person on the field.

"Valencia scored again over there, and the score has been equalized." Ferrando said to Manzano.

A smile appeared on Manzano's face: "That's not what I think about anymore, now I only care about the game here!"

As soon as his words fell, there was another goal on the field. Wang Xiaomin passed the ball from the wing, but it spun directly to the upper right corner of the goal. Back in the penalty area, Garcia made a supplementary shot into the net for the first time!

In 74 minutes, Mallorca equalized the score!
After scoring the goal, Garcia did not celebrate, but picked up the ball and ran back quickly: "We have to score one more!"

The mad Mallorca was no longer something the Spaniard could resist. Twelve minutes later, Pei Wei made a sharp breakthrough and sent another wonderful pass. Delgado pushed through the net and scored twice, successfully reversing the situation score!
Delgado clenched his fists tightly and let out a roar!
Compared with the Mallorca players who were celebrating wildly, the Spaniard players were downcast one by one. Conceding three goals in a row hit them too hard!

But Mallorca didn't seem to let the opponent go. In stoppage time, Ibagaza's volley scored again. 4:2, Mallorca completely knocked the opponent into the abyss!
