138 Dangerous Situation
"Mark, it's time for us to do warm-up exercises now," Van der Fate said to Mark.
Now that the half game is over, the two sides are still in a draw, so the substitutes are also warming up together, which is also to prepare for the opportunity to come on the bench in the second half of the game.[]
In fact, this warm-up training is for both sides to do pass training together, so that the players can maintain their current state and not consume too much physical fitness.
Now the fifteen-minute halftime game is over soon, and the players on both sides continue to start the second half.
Mark is now back on the bench, because Ferlando did not choose to substitute. Perhaps in his opinion, the current Atletico Madrid lineup can continue to play.
So Mark continues to watch this game on the bench now, and now Mark is still chatting with his teammates in the first half while watching the game on the court.
Atletico Madrid's luck in the second half was very good. Atletico Madrid scored a goal just one minute at the beginning of the second half.
Atletico Madrid took advantage of a penalty kick and headed the ball directly into the goal by defender Baboro. Atletico Madrid tied the score of the game and took a 2-1 lead in the total score.
"Beautiful" Mark was also excited to jump from his seat after seeing Barboro's goal. Mark has now become a completely fan and now hopes that the team he supports will win.
Although Atletico Madrid won the game in this game, it would not be of any benefit to Mark now, but Mark still hopes that the team can win.
This may also reflect that Mark is not very selfish, and only players like Mark can do this, because Mark has good professional qualities.
"It seems we shouldn't have a chance to play in this game," Torres said next to Mark after scoring the goal.
Because Torres felt that the team had no chance to play after he felt that the team had a situation on the court, so Fernando Torres said to Mark like this.
"We played for the team to win. Now that we can win the game if we don't play, the team can win the game. Isn't this a good thing?" Mark said to Torres indifferently now.
Because Mark knew that his strength would not be buried on the current bench, he would definitely return to the main lineup again on the bench.
This is because of Mark's comprehensiveness, because no player at Atletico Madrid can adapt to all these positions like Mark.
So there is still a place for Mark in the current lineup of Atletico Madrid.
Torres nodded when he heard Mark's words. He naturally knew his current position in Atletico Madrid. Torres naturally did not believe that Ferlando dared to put himself on the bench all the time.
If this is the case now, Torres would dare to show off with the board of directors directly to seek transfer opportunities. You should know that as the golden boy of the whole Spain, there are many clubs looking for opportunities to join excellent players like Torres.
It’s just that Atletico Madrid does not want to let go of the Golden Boy and Torres, whom they trained, are now loyal to Atletico Madrid, so he has not allowed him to transfer.
Now I believe that if Torres opens his mouth and says he transfers, many teams will definitely put the contract in front of Torres.
As for Mark, there is no need to say anything now. Mark was originally a young and promising player. The big clubs have not taken action against Mark now because Mark's previous career was too short, so many big clubs have not dared to take action rashly for the time being. Otherwise, Mark would not have come to Atletico Madrid, which is still struggling for the League Cup.
However, Mark has now conquered the Spanish media with his performances in these games. Many European big-name clubs have applied for transfers to Mark. However, since Mark has just joined Atletico Madrid, even if Mark wants to transfer now, he will have to wait until the winter transfer period begins on January 1st as soon as possible.
Most of the clubs in Europe now have now made the winter transfer period like Spain, which is now open on December 15th. All other mainstream leagues are January 1st.
But Mark still wants to prove his strength at Atletico Madrid, so Mark has never considered the transfer at all. Although Mark is now somewhat rejected by the head coach, Mark still wants to regain the respect of the head coach through his performance.
Mark is still very confident about his own strength. This is also Mark's advantage now. Confidence is Mark's biggest advantage.
After Ferlando scored another goal, he hugged and celebrated with his assistant coach because he was too nervous in this game. Now he felt the pressure of the European game, which is the kind of pressure he had never suffered in the league.
"I can win the game without you," Ferlando now thought to himself after looking at Mark and Torres sitting on the bench.
Ferlando is also very proud now, because now he can finally prove his coaching level. Although the corner kick just now is a lucky balloon, the cooperation of the corner kick is also one of the head coach's tactical arrangements.
Ferlando also took all the credit for scoring the goal at once. Atletico Madrid now has an advantage in the score.
And the significance of this goal is not that. Atletico Madrid has already achieved a valuable away goal because of the goal just now. In other words, if Alkmaar wants to win the game, it must score two more goals. There are still 40 minutes left in the game. It is not easy to score two goals in the hands of Atletico Madrid, which is intensively defending.
Adriansey is now yelling at his players, and he is also a goal of mobilizing troops to replace offensive players to achieve the current Alkmaar team's strengthening offense.
It is obvious that Alkmaar was forced to panic by Atletico Madrid's goal. Now their players have no way out and there is no good way to attack.
Mark has not noticed that Ferlando is looking at him now, and Mark is now studying the running problem on the court with Torres.
Now Mark, Torres and Van der Fate are studying on the bench how to run and make greater contributions to the team's offense if they join themselves on the court.
Torres and Van der Fate are all offensive players, so Mark can only talk about offensive matters with them. Mark can no longer continue to talk about defense matters above, because the current position of the two players, they still do not have a thorough understanding of defense in terms of offense.
This is also a normal thing, because after all, they are not defensive players, so they naturally don’t care about things that have nothing to do with them.
"Our team is really lucky now. It should be invincible now," Van der Fate said to Mark now.
The current format is indeed very beneficial to Atletico Madrid, and from the court, the players of Alkmaar still seem a little impatient.
After all, Atletico Madrid is now one half-ball advantage, so Alkmaar still has to fight to the death.
"But the Alkmaar team seems to be fighting fiercely now. It depends on whether our team can stick to their playing style." Mark said with concern now.
The scene is indeed the same as Mark said. The Alkmaar players are now attacking with all their strength, and their players have made full use of their physical advantages to frequently compete with Atletico Madrid players.
The players of Atletico Madrid are not very adapted to the Alkmaar style of playing. The players of Atletico Madrid were also suppressed by Alkmaar in their half and were extremely moved.
"Atlanta Madrid seems to be directly controlled by Alkmaar. Now they have no good chance to fight back. It seems that the absence of Torres and Mark makes the current situation of Atletico Madrid seem very passive. I really don't understand why coach Ferlando doesn't send these two players to the court now," the commentator said depressedly in the live broadcast room.
It is obvious that the current commentator hopes that both Mark and Torres can appear on the stadium at the same time, because the current commentator believes that as long as Mark and Torres appear on the stadium again, the current situation at Atletico Madrid will not appear so passive.
Because Mark is a player with very strong mobility, with Mark's protection outside the penalty area, it can make Atletico Madrid's current penalty area safer. At the same time, Torres's appearance can also make Atletico Madrid's current counterattack more speed and impactful.
Although Salva is now the former La Liga scorer, his condition is no longer as brave as he used to be. His frequent injuries and wandering career have completely wiped out the current Salva's aura.
But Ferlando still insists on his stubborn coaching philosophy, and he has not sent any of Mark or Torres to the field.
However, at the 60th of the game, Ferlando was punished for his stubbornness. Alkmaar captured a mistake from the current Atletico Madrid left-back veteran Sergi to rewritten the score again.
The current score is that Alkmaar's score exceeded the score one-to-one again, and the total score also became a draw. However, due to the few away goals, Alkmaar still has not been able to ensure victory, and they must score another goal now.
After conceding the ball, Ferlando also showed his excitement. He is now yelling at his players, which also shows his dissatisfaction with the players present.
Now the players of Atletico Madrid have put their heads on their heads and look heavy. They now know that they are not performing well now, but the players have no choice because the players can't find the offensive point at all.
Without attack but only defense, the pressure on defense is obviously very great. This huge pressure now overwhelms the young players of Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid players are now in a position to be able to control the ball and continue to attack, but if they control the ball at their feet, the Alkmaar players will immediately run over to press, and the Alkmaar players are also very fierce. Atletico Madrid players often make mistakes and lose the ball under the pressing of the Alkmaar players.
So these players didn't dare to continue to control the ball on their feet. After seeing the football, they all cleared the ball with big feet, but the consequences of the clearing ball were either out of bounds or were obtained by the Alkmaar players again.
This has caused the continuous attack of the current Alkmaar team. Don’t be because defense is easy. The pressure on defense is also very huge. If this huge pressure and physical energy consumption are put on the Atletico Madrid team, it will also make the current Atletico Madrid players unable to bear it.
"Are I going to make a substitution?" Ferlando didn't know how many times he looked at the bench.
Ferlando now thinks of Mark, but when Ferlando saw Mark, he thought of what Mark said before when he was fighting against him on the training ground. Ferlando now makes him feel very angry when he thinks of this, so Ferlando now doesn't put the idea of replacing Mark on the court.
"Mark, now I'm looking at you again. It seems that I might be planning to change you to play again." Van der Fate said to Mark after seeing Ferlando's actions just now.
"Haha, I'm always ready now, but if I don't change to the game, I have no objection. As long as the team can win," Mark turned to Ferlando now. Ferlando had turned his head and said to Van der Fate: "But now should be the time to test the players' hearts. After all, there are still twenty minutes left. These twenty minutes will depend on whether we can hold on. The good show should be coming."
The game also developed like what Mark said. The current Alkmaar team is unforgivable. After just scoring the goal, their players seem to have confidence on the court. They are more active in fighting and running than before scoring the goal.
The current Atletico Madrid players are gritting their teeth and persevering, because the current Atletico Madrid players are still leading the score. They now have their own beliefs, because they also believe that as long as they can persevere to the end of the game, they will win.
The two teams are now fighting tenaciously in terms of willpower. Now it depends on who the two sides can't hold on first.
Shortly after conceding the ball, Ferlando finally made the first substitution adjustment, which was to replace Salva, and the center back Calvo was on the field.
Ferlando is now ready to carry out the defense to the end, and this is to further weaken the already-little-poor Atletico Madrid's chances of counterattacking.
Perhaps it was in Ferlando's mind that there were not many opportunities to counterattack now, so he simply replaced the next striker and made a complete defense. Moreover, Salva is not the forward that Ferlando likes. Because Torres and Salva have a good relationship, Ferlando does not like Salva now.
Atletico Madrid has now become a forward-free formation, and all players retreated outside the penalty area to defend.
"This should be a victory in the game," Ferlando thought to himself now.
"We are so shameless in a formation like this," Mark said to Torres now: "But who cares if you can win the game or not?"
"Yes, it's time to see the last ten minutes now," Torres nodded and said.
Now the last ten minutes and every second should be the most tormenting for all Atletico Madrid fans, because although Atletico Madrid is defending the entire line, Alkmaar has replaced four forwards in the last moment, and Adrianse has now used up three substitutions.
All he had to do was to fight to the death. Indeed, it was time for Alkmaar to fight to the death now. Sure enough, Adrians' substitution had a certain effect. In the 82nd minute of the game, Alkmaar finally surpassed the score.
Thunderous shouts suddenly broke out at the entire home court, and fans now see hope for Alkmaer to win.
After seeing this goal, Ferlando kicked over the mineral water bottle. He now has no chance to vent his anger. He has no other way except to roar a few times.
Now there are only eight minutes left before the entire game. Even if the injury stoppage time is counted, it will be ten minutes. Atletico Madrid is now in a crisis.
Chapter completed!
