154 The Dragon Awakens
The game continued, perhaps because the weak shouts of the fans who came to cheer for Mark away were really heard by Mark, or Mark's luck really came.
In the 32nd minute, Glenshare made a cross from the right, which was a half-high ball. Mark jumped up and then headed the ball before the defensive player of Las Palmas.[]
"Mark's running seems to be a little problem this time, and it is difficult for him to stand this football. The players of Las Palmas have already defended their position." The commentator continued the career of Dark Mark.
However, the fact is not as the commentator said. Mark ran and chose the position. After a few turns, Mark left the defensive player of Las Palmas behind.
The football flew directly into the net like a cannonball, and the goalkeeper of Las Palmas had no way to do with Mark's shot this time.
Because the shooting distance this time was too close, the goalkeeper's reaction was not that fast at all.
“goooooooooooooooooooooool!!!”
Mark opened his arms and ran towards Glenshare on the right, and then Mark hugged Glenshare with one hand. Mark was very excited now, and his depression in the previous games was swept away by this goal.
"I did it, I scored in this game, thank you Yepas," Mark said after holding Glenshare's shoulder.
"Mark, this goal is your excellent running chance," Glenshare said happily. Glenshare also likes to cooperate with players like Mark, because Mark's choice is better, and most of Glenshare's pass marks will get.
As for assist players, they hope that their assists can become goals, which is what assist players want to see the most, and Mark is undoubtedly a player that such an assist player likes.
"Mark, you're doing a pretty job. The header just now was so imposing." Van der Fate also jumped on Mark from behind and shouted loudly.
The fans of Atletico Madrid who were cheering away also jumped up from the chairs and shouted loudly: "Mark, Mark..."
These fans have been holding back for a long time. The previous few games of Atletico Madrid were really depressing, but now, Mark is back. Mark just returned and scored a goal in the starting lineup. Although his opponent is the second-tier team Las Palmas, it also gave fans hope.
"Uh... Mark's goal was very exciting, and the defensive player of Las Palmas made a serious mistake." The commentator couldn't say much at this time. He could only blame the defensive player for not being able to defend Mark well.
After Mark celebrated with the players on the court, he also ran to the bench to hug and celebrate with his teammates on the bench. Mark and Torres hugged.
Mark knew that during his days when he was hiding, Torres also communicated with the club's board of directors a lot, and helped Mark speak nice things in the locker room. Mark was grateful for these.
Although Ferlando's dismissal was his own fault, Mark also saw the friendly attitude shown by Atletico Madrid players, which was what Mark liked the most.
I believe that every player should like to play in a relatively harmonious environment, which will also help the players perform better.
After the celebration, Mark raised his arms to Atletico Madrid fans in the stands to express his return.
Mark's form has also improved after scoring a goal. The defensive players of Las Palmas could not defend Mark's speed advantage at all, and Mark's mentality has become a little stable when scoring a goal.
Mark's position on the forward line is not fixed in the middle, but Mark is still on the wing. Mark often participates in the offenses of the two wings and cooperates with his teammates.
"That's it. Only hard-working players can get more opportunities." Cooper thought to himself after watching Mark's performance on the court.
Cooper also thought that Ferlando was just a fool. He didn't know how to use such an outstanding player. It's no wonder that Ferlando's performance was bad.
Cooper felt that the team's transformation might be faster than he thought. If the two Argentines Cooper wanted to introduce also joined the team, Atletico Madrid's formation would really be perfect.
"Run, run, run a lot," Cooper shouted at the players on the court.
Van der Fate continued to dribble the ball and then Mark moved sideways towards Van der Fate and Van der Fate also passed the football directly to Mark.
After Mark got the ball, he found someone was pushing Mark behind him, but Mark was not in a hurry. He leaned on the defender who was defending him and quickly turned around to make a breakthrough.
However, the defender of Las Palmas did not give Mark a chance to break through at all, and pulled Mark to the ground with one move, and Atletico Madrid won another free kick opportunity.
"Thank you, I gave another free kick," Mark said to the opponent's midfielder.
Mark's words made the opponent's midfielder stunned. The one who defended Mark was Carsédo of Las Palmas. Carsédo didn't expect that after she just fouled on Mark, Mark would still express his gratitude to him, so Carsédo could not accept it for a while.
Because according to the general situation, it would be great if the injured party did not go to the foul party to quarrel, but no one would ever express gratitude to the foul party.
Mark gave Carlsaydo the feeling that he was saying "Following fouls, I'll foul on me next time", which made Carlsaydo not understand what the situation was.
In Carlsedo's view, although Mark's previous free kicks had a high level, due to the distance and angle of the player, Mark's previous free kicks were not threatened by the threat.
However, since Mark made a free kick cooperation between Van der Fate last time, all the goalkeepers were not careful about Mark's shot because they didn't know when Mark would come and how he would do it.
At this time, Mark stood before football again, with Van der Fate beside Mark, and Mark was muttering in Van der Fate's ear, as if discussing some tactical cooperation.
The referee signaled that it was possible to kick off the ball, and Mark ran first, Van der Fate was behind Mark, and Mark twisted his body directly, then opened his arms and kicked his feet, and shot.
The football flew towards the goal of Las Palmas with the sound of wind. The goalkeeper of Las Palmas moved quickly and flew to save, but with a "bang", the football hit the crossbar and popped up the net.
"Tsk, I'm so unlucky," Mark whispered.
However, although this time the shot did not make the net, it was much better than the free kicks Mark had taken before. Mark's free kick shot was once again taken seriously by the goalkeepers of Las Palmas.
However, the score of the Power Palmas was not rewritten until the end of the game in the first half. Although Las Palmas fell behind, they did not seem to be in a hurry to equalize the score.
Perhaps in the eyes of the head coach of Las Palmas, it is normal to lose to Atletico Madrid, and they don’t seem to have any burden. Atletico Madrid is also a veteran strong team in the La Liga, and this season it also represents Spain in the League Cup.
Las Palmas is still full of fear for Atletico Madrid. In their opinion, it is normal for Atletico Madrid to win this game.
Las Palmas wants to take advantage of the opportunity of this game to allow their players to perform well. It is best to defeat Atletico Madrid. Even if they don’t win, they will have valuable experience in fighting against strong teams. This is also a very important thing.
After the half, both teams returned to the locker room. The players of both teams seemed to be in a good mood. The players of Las Palmas did not feel depressed because of the backwardness of the score. Their players also walked into the locker room with laughter and laughter.
The players of Atletico Madrid are even happier. For Atletico Madrid players, one goal is enough. For teams like Las Palmas, Atletico Madrid's defensive players are still very confident.
"We performed very well in the first half, and we still have to maintain this trend in the second half," Cooper walked into the locker room and said in praise at the players.
"Yes, coach" many Atletico Madrid players also responded to Cooper.
"Mark, your header shot before was amazing, and your ability to grab points was first-class," Torres also said to Mark.
Torres didn't say much when Mark and Torres celebrated before. That was because of time, Torres did not express his opinion. Now in the locker room, Torres encouraged Mark.
"Fernando, if you come on stage, you will definitely do better than me." Although Mark has great confidence, Mark is not a brainless person. Mark also knows that everyone likes to listen to good things, so Mark also said modestly, and also complimented Torres.
"No, your strength is indeed more comprehensive than mine, I am very convinced of this." Torres smiled happily after hearing Mark's words. After all, Torres is just a twenty-year-old young man, and he also likes to hear other people's praises.
"Okay, listen to me," Cooper said at this time, pointing at the tactical board and writing.
Cooper made all the tactics of the second half. Atletico Madrid players were also listening to Cooper's explanation very seriously. They were all very serious. This is because Cooper mentioned the issue of focusing many times. Players are prone to inattention on the stadium, and Cooper is also correcting the mistakes made by these players on the stadium.
"Mark, in the second half, you can move a little wider range, and use your physical strength and speed to press in the frontcourt," Cooper explained to Mark.
Mark nodded to show his understanding that Mark's range of activities in the first half was only around the opponent's penalty area. Mark knew that Cooper wanted him to intercept Las Palmas' defensive line and destroy the rhythm of Las Palmas' offense. As long as Las Palmas makes a mistake and can capture Atletico Madrid, the game will be over.
After Cooper explained, the second half of the game was about to begin. Atletico Madrid players left the locker room and came to the stadium.
After the referee's whistle sounded, the second half of the game continued. Atletico Madrid still had a tactical style of defensive counterattack, and Mark's position was also adjusted.
Mark did not stand in front, his position was a little far behind, and Mark basically retreated to the central advancement position, which was also Cooper's plan to use Mark's speed advantage to strive for a chance to fight back.
Although Cooper has not taken over Atletico Madrid for a long time, he has already gone through training classes at the airport. Cooper has also had a simple understanding of the technical characteristics of Atletico Madrid players.
The head coach needs to understand the players first. Only when the players know about the same thing can he teach according to his aptitude and let the players exert their greatest energy in the position they are most suitable for.
It took about ten minutes to start the second half, and Mark's pressing ability gradually showed the effect. Las Palmas' right forward Carmelo got the ball and pushed forward. At this time, Mark rushed over directly to prepare to intercept the ball.
In a panic, Carmelo passed the ball back, but it seemed that he did not form a tacit understanding with the defender player, the defender player was not ready to catch the ball, and the football was not obtained by the defender of Las Palmas.
At this time, Mark started to compete for football again. Mark and Las Palmas defenders both ran towards the football, but Mark's speed was obviously a little faster. Mark got the football before the opponent's defender.
But Mark saw that there were many players defending in the penalty area of Las Palmas, and someone had already come to fill the position. At this time, Mark should choose to pass the ball.
"Mark is going to pass the ball, so he passed the ball directly, but Mark's footwork is not very good. Will the pass be successful this time?" The commentator's voice sounded again.
The fans of Atletico Madrid before the TV and Mark's fans were extremely annoying when they heard the voice of the Spanish commentator.
Everyone hates this Spanish commentator who likes dark horses very much, and domestic fans don’t have such troubles, because most domestic fans don’t understand Spanish, and Tianchao 5 will not broadcast the Spanish Cup Cup.
So more fans are watching this game through the Internet.
Mark's pass line was a bit high. Salva was entangled by the players of Las Palmas in the penalty area. If he wanted to shoot, he would not have a better chance. The defender of Las Palmas in the Football Cup pushed out of the penalty area.
However, Mark was also outside the penalty area at this time. Mark easily caught the football. Then Mark directly shot from outside the penalty area line, and the football flew into the goal in an instant.
“goooooooooooal!!”
"Mark scored again, Las Palmas' defense is like paper." The commentator on the scene said with a little regret.
Mark has already scored twice and is in a hot state. It's just such a result. Even if the commentator of this game wants to go to the dark Mark again, there is no good chance.
If he had always shown dissatisfaction with Mark, he would definitely receive a notice from the TV boss, because as a football commentator, he should not have his own position. He serves for broadcasting. If he is a fan, he should also be a fan of the two teams.
After Mark scored, he made a strange celebration move. After Mark scored, he hit the head against Van der Fart and made a bull-like move. No one else knew what such a move meant.
"Beautiful job, the long shot just now was amazing," Van der Fate said to Mark after finishing the celebration with Mark.
"Haha..." Mark just smirked. Mark had no words to describe his mood at this time. Mark had already scored two goals in this game. If Mark continued to work hard in this game, he might have been able to score a hat trick.
Seeing this opportunity come to his hands, Mark still hopes to score a hat trick in the game, so Mark continues to participate in the game after celebrating the action.
After Mark scored his second goal, Atletico Madrid head coach Cooper was relieved. Atletico Madrid had basically won this game. Mark's goal was a goal that hit their confidence for Las Palmas.
The 2-0 score also made Las Palmas lose the motivation to continue attacking. Their players also hope that this game can end as soon as possible, so that they can recover their mood well.
Although Las Palmas knows that its strength is not as good as Atletico Madrid, the players also hope to score a goal that saves face. Las Palmas players don't understand why Mark was in such an excellent state just after his comeback.
Mark, the giant dragon from the East, also began to wake up.
