168 The Arrangement of Fate
When Mark returned home, Momo had already packed his luggage and left. Koros accompanied her to leave. Koros also sent Momo to the airport to say goodbye. After all, there was more talk between the two women.
After Mark saw that there was no one at home, he first went to the gym to continue his strength training and waited for Colos.[]
It took a long time to return home. Mark met Corus when he saw Corus come back.
"Have Mumo been sent away?" Mark asked Corus.
Kolos nodded and sat down. There was one less person in Mark's house, and Kolos and Yu Meng were only three people left to live in. The huge room seemed very deserted.
In fact, even if Momo was here before, it didn't seem very lively, but after all, Mark was used to everyone being together. For a moment, there was a sudden absence of one person in the room, which really made Mark not very adaptable.
During the break that night, Mark also came to the dream space for training.
"Is there any connection between my pass and a free kick?" Mark began to ask when he entered the space.
"So you have discovered it yourself. Yes, your ability to pass the ball is closely related to free kicks, which means that your ability to pass the ball depends on your ability to free kicks. Work hard." After a sound came from the air, Freeman's voice disappeared.
Mark didn't know what was wrong with Freeman today, so why didn't he come to see Mark on his own initiative.
However, Mark still figured out the relationship between free kicks and passes, and Mark also had the motivation. Mark had to increase the level of free kicks to the highest level as soon as possible, so that Mark's passing ability can also be improved to the highest level.
However, this matter has a slow process, so naturally I can't hurry. I have to eat the food one by one and the ball is played one by one.
Atletico Madrid will also face their next opponent at home, which is Real Zaragoza, a veteran La Liga team. Zaragoza is now ranked fourth, while Atletico Madrid is ranked eighth. In terms of ranking alone, there is indeed a gap between the two teams.
However, the gap is only two points away. If Atletico Madrid can defeat his opponent in this game, he will be able to put Zaragoza behind him.
However, Zaragoza's strength is still very strong. Their team also exists as a team that has always been in the middle and upper reaches of La Liga. Although they have never won the league championship, Zaragoza's strength is pretty good, so if Atletico Madrid wants to defeat Zaragoza at home, they also need to do their best.
It was soon the day of the match day, and the Atletico Madrid players were finally able to return to home court to participate in the game. This was the first time Atletico Madrid had returned to home court after several consecutive away games.
Atletico Madrid also sent all its main players to the game in this game, and it also shows the degree of attention he attached to the game.
Cooper also gave instructions to the players in the locker room. Cooper asked the players to pay more attention to defense. Although the team was fighting at home, they could not forget the players' defensive responsibilities. The team's defense was the first priority.
All players know about Cooper's concept, because Cooper himself is a head coach who is defensively the first, and after Atletico Madrid was hit by Bochum in the second half in the last game, Atletico Madrid players no longer dare to underestimate any opponent.
This game was also broadcast by Tianchao Station 5, and Brother Duan Xuan also appeared before the broadcast screen.
Before the game, someone interviewed Mark and said, "Mark, who do you think Zaragoza is the most threatening player to Atletico Madrid now?"
"I think we are the only ones who can threaten Atletico Madrid. As long as we can perform our form, we can defeat any opponent," Mark said confidently.
The reporter who interviewed Mark this time was Sarah Caponero. She almost became a full-time reporter for Atletico Madrid. As long as there is Atletico Madrid's home game, Caponero will try to come and conduct an interview. Of course, this is also caused by Mark, because she wants to get closer to Mark more so that Mark can pay attention to her.
Caponero was also a little surprised when he heard Mark's words, because it was too disrespectful to Zaragoza. He looked down on Zaragoza, a favorable contender for the Champions League place, and Zaragoza's ranking is ahead of Atletico Madrid. However, Caponero was very happy about Mark's words, because the more he spoke, the happier the news reporters would be.
In fact, this is also related to Mark's newly signed agent. After Mark signed with Mendes, Mendes packaged Mark. This packaging is not something Mendes can do alone, because he also needs Mark's cooperation.
Moreover, Mendes asked Mark to show as arrogant as possible, because only in this way can it attract people's attention. The more attractive Mark attracts, the more successful his business operations will be.
However, Mark also needs certain strategies to attract attention, and also choose time, say some crazy words from time to time, and then prove that Mark does have arrogant capital during the game, which is enough.
So, although Mendes planned for Mark, Mendes still couldn't help Mark's performance on the court, and Mark had to deal with everything himself.
Mendes' team is only responsible for matters outside Mark Stadium.
"Then what do you think the score of this game will be? And how many goals will you score?" Caponero continued to ask Mark. Naturally, she didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
"Of course, we will know the result of the game after the end, but I know that the winner will definitely be from Atletico Madrid, and this is something that needs no doubt." Mark said confidently.
Mark's meaning was obviously provocative. Mark did not take the Zaragoza team seriously at all, and Mark also made a promise of victory.
Caponero felt that Mark's words were a bit of a fight. If Atletico Madrid in this game could not be defeated, wouldn't Mark have been disloyal? He would definitely become the target of everyone's ridicule after the game. This may be something that young players like Mark may not bear.
Although Caponero wants to get news, she still has an inexplicable favor for Mark, and she feels that she should help Mark.
"Mark, it's a bit earlier to make a promise of victory before the game begins. I think I'd better wait until the game is over. After all, football is round and anything can happen." Caponero kindly helped Mark round the words inside.
"Haha, this doesn't matter, because I have confidence in my teammates. I believe that my teammates and I will definitely win the game with the cheers of the home fans, and under the tactical arrangement of Cooper's head coach." Mark did not win Caponero's affection, but said arrogantly.
After hearing Mark's words, Caponero also felt that Mark was helpless and was extremely arrogant, so Caponero was not ready to continue interviewing Mark because the news given by Mark was enough, so she continued to walk towards other Atletico Madrid players for interviews.
Mark's words also reached the ears of the players of Zaragoza, and the players of Zaragoza also made statements, thinking that defeating Atletico Madrid was simply a breeze.
"Mark is an insult to our team, I'm going to let him try it out," said Zaragoza's left-back Savio, who was the first to bear the brunt.
Because if we look at the starting lineup of Atletico Madrid in the last game, left forward Savio should have the opportunity to compete with Mark directly, so he was the first to stand up and speak.
The head coach of Zaragoza, who is also a native of Zaragoza, was once the main midfielder of Barcelona. Victor Munoz also responded: "Mark is still too young. He watches the game too simple. The game is not something he can say is to win. Although Mark was in good condition before, I will definitely let him feel the strength of the Zaragoza players on the stadium."
Mark also knew in his heart that his words would definitely cause an uproar, but Mark obviously didn't care, because Mark's attention was not above the field, so Mark still wanted to pay attention to the game itself.
On the one hand, Mark's big talk is that he wants to hype, and on the other hand, Mark really thinks that Atletico Madrid's strength is better than Zaragoza.
In this game, Mark's position is still the right forward, which is also Mark's fixed position after Cooper took office, because Cooper is preparing to maximize Mark's speed advantage. Mark can assist at the full-time forward position without being restricted by position.
Anyway, Velasco is behind Mark, and Mark doesn't need to worry about the opponent's counterattack after he assists.
Atletico Madrid basically continued the starting lineup against Bochum in the last game, and the players all seemed full of confidence.
The players on both sides are ready to play, but the battle between the fans on the Calderon Stadium has begun early, and Atletico Madrid fans and Zaragoza fans have already confronted in the stands.
However, this confrontation is not because they have fought, but because they all sang songs from their respective teams to welcome the teams they support. However, after all, this is the home court of Atletico Madrid, so Atletico Madrid will have some advantages in shouting.
Although these advantages cannot be converted into goals, Atletico Madrid players will definitely have some motivation if they get cheers from home fans, which is certain.
As a fan of away games, Zaragoza also took the lead in shaking hands with Atletico Madrid fans on the stadium.
"Savio, I hope you can play with the number today to repay the fans who support you away," Mark said to him after shaking hands with Savio.
Savio was not stunned when he heard Mark's words. In his impression, what Mark should have said was that Zaragoza is dead today, and I will definitely pay attention to it. If you don't have time to lift your pants, that's what it is.
But Mark suddenly said such a very polite word, and Savio didn't react for a while, but he immediately said with a gentlemanly manner, "I hope so too."
However, Mark said the next thing that he did not make Savio's nose pissed. Mark continued: "I don't want the opponent I defeated to be an uncle who is about to retire, but I think it's hard for you to recover to the level he was in Real Madrid."
Savio is a well-known magic foot in football. He is fully capable of causing bloody storms for you on any world-class defense line. He is fast, has outstanding skills, and has strong shooting ability. The only drawback is that the defenders take too much care of him. His legs are injured and injured. He is the player with the most attacks in La Liga, because the defenders all understand that if they want to stop Savio, they can only make fouls. On the other hand, his cooperation with Robert Carlos, who is also a Brazilian, is also perfect. With him, the opponent's defense line will never be peaceful.
Savio was the leading actor in Flamengo and was very powerful. Real Madrid paid a lot of money to poach him, and after spending the most glorious years of his career in Real Madrid, he was sold off. Savio joined Zaragoza last season by Porto, and made great contributions to Zaragoza's ability to reach the sixth place in the league last season.
"Then let's try it out and see who is better." Although Savio's condition is not as good as his peak period, he still has the will to admit defeat, and he said to Mark without showing any weakness.
"Okay, the game has officially begun." After the referee's whistle sounded, Brother Duan Xuan also announced the start of the game in the broadcast room.
"The defense of the two teams in this game should be the key to the team's victory, because both sides have teams with talented super shooters." Duan Xuange also commented on the game after the game started: "Atlanie Madrid forward Torres is the golden boy of the whole Spain, and Zaragoza forward Villa is also the hope star of Spain, and this game is also their competition."
"It depends on whether you can hold the opponent's forward," Cooper also thought in his mind.
Of course Cooper knew the key to defense, but Madrid now adopts elastic defense, that is, like a spring, not full defense, but a tactic of both offense and defense. This tactic is the most suitable tactic for Atletico Madrid today.
Villa got a chance after the opening. In the fifth minute of the opening, Zaragoza attacked from the right, and then the football passed directly to Villa's feet. Villa shot straight from a long shot with his right foot, but the football hit high.
"Although the football has been high this time, Villa has also successfully gotten rid of Pereya's defense. The good show of this game seems to be gradually interesting," Duan Xuan said as if he had seen some tricks.
Zaragoza's formation in this game is: goalkeeper Luis Garcia
Right back Quartero left back Drio Torres centre back Milito and Alvaro
The left front guard of the midfield is Savio, the right forward guard of Galetti, the central forward guard of Poncio and Movilia
The forwards are Villa and Moreno.
Zaragoza's starting lineup includes five South American players, including three Argentinians and two Brazilians.
Originally, more than three foreign players were not allowed to appear at the same time in La Liga, but four of the five players of Zaragoza have second nationality, that is, EU passports. According to regulations, although they were not born in Europe, they were not considered foreign players.
This is also a feature of South American players, especially Argentine players. Argentines claim to be Europeans in South America because their ancestors basically immigrated to South America in Europe.
Therefore, it is difficult to see black players in Argentina. This is why blacks can only be seen in Africa at first. If European human traffickers didn’t sell Africans as slaves, then blacks would not have been seen in Europe.
"Look at him, you must not let him shoot easily." Cooper was not satisfied with Pereya's defense just now, so he shouted on the court with some excitement.
"The highlights of this game are so many," Duan Xuan Ge's voice rang again: "One highlight of this game is the showdown between Mark and Savio. Before the game, both sides had already spoken harsh words and wanted to lead the team to win this game, so I don't know if it was Mark's youthful invincible or Savio's old strength."
"In addition, another highlight is whether Moreno can perform well in the face of his old club again?" Duan Xuan Ge did not stop at all. He continued: "Moreno played for Atletico Madrid last season. Moreno's performance after transferring to Zaragoza this season was not ideal, but I don't know if he can play his strength in the game with his old club. You should know that players usually perform well in the game with his old club."
After Duan Xuan said this in this game, many fans realized that there were so many highlights in this game, but Duan Xuan's explanation was just to the junior fans. For senior fans, they would definitely understand without listening to Duan Xuan's introduction.
