But then Mark felt the pressure on defense, because the forwards of Zaragoza often go to the left, which is Mark's right, to cooperate with Savio.

Atletico Madrid's right-back Velasco cannot defend Zaragoza's forward Villa at all. Mark not only needs to defend Savio, but also help Velasco make up for the position at any time, which greatly weakens Mark's focus on man-tapping.[]

Villa, 24, was born in Tuilla, a small town in Asturias Province. Because he was not tall when he was a child but had a relatively solid figure, Villa received the nickname "Gourd". To this day, this title full of jokes has always been a unique "label" for Villa. Chinese fans also gave Villa a very Chinese-style name "Gourd Baby".

"Cauliwa" grew up in Sporting Gijon. In the 2001-02 season, Villa, who had been the number one star of Team B, was officially promoted to Sporting Gijon and began to compete in the second division. Although his appearance was not amazing, Villa quickly showed the qualities of an opportunistic shooter on the court. During the game, he often lies in the small penalty area. Even if his opponent's defense is tight, he can always find the direction of the goal like a loach.

During the two seasons he played for Sporting Gijon, the "Culhu" participated in 78 games and scored 39 goals. The sudden start and timely grabbing points are an important reason why Villa, who is not tall, can quickly succeed in the B League, which is more physically confrontational. As a natural counterattack shooter, Villa is an extremely important piece for a team that emphasizes balanced offense and defense. In addition, he has an efficiency of winning 1 goal in an average of 2 games in the B League, and many A-level teams are eager to come one after another. In the end, Zaragoza attracted him in the summer of 2003.

Villa performed very well in Zaragoza last season, and there was no discomfort in the La Liga just now. He scored seventeen goals in one season and became the number one scorer of Zaragoza. At the beginning of the league this season, Villa had already scored five goals. It can be said that Villa has a lot of offensive firepower.

Moreover, Villa and Savio's cooperation has become increasingly tacit, making it difficult for all La Liga teams to defend.

Savio is also a very experienced player. He knows how powerful Mark is in defense. Savio knows that it will be very difficult to barely break through Mark. He is very smart and starts to cooperate with Villa.

The two players often make short passes on the wing and then advance into Atletico Madrid's penalty area. Mark had to frequently defend desperately on the right side.

"Damn, this little guy is really flexible, and the pace frequency under his feet is really fast." Mark thought to himself after seeing the attack on the wing.

Mark did not know much about players like Villa before, because Villa had not proved his strength in the giants, so it was easy for Mark to understand that Villa didn't understand.

But since today's game, Mark has also clearly understood Villa's strength. Mark feels that Zaragoza is really full of talents. He did not expect that a mid-range team in La Liga would have such a talented player.

"Defense, Mark, can't let him break through," Cooper also shouted at Mark on the sidelines.

In Cooper's eyes, he cannot give the opponent a chance to break through. Moreover, as a head coach who is defensive first, he is in his mind that the team should do a good job of defense and then attack. Therefore, Mark's position has been retreating to the back and then retreating, and Mark finally retreated to the full-back position.

In this way, for Villa who often pulls the edge, the defensive strength is enough, so Villa can't calmly cooperate on the sidelines.

However, after Mark restricted Villa, Savio's position became flexible. Savio often made crosses on the wing to find another striker in the penalty area Moreno.

Moreno is also the former La Liga scorer. Although he scored twenty-one goals in Alaves, he also became the best La Liga scorer that year.

Then he transferred to Serie A in the same year, and then the beginning of his declining career. He only scored two goals in Milan's 16 games and was loaned to Atletico Madrid. Even at Atletico Madrid, his performance was very unsatisfactory and he did not find his form at that time.

Moreno was ridiculed by everyone as the king of scoring players. Moreno joined Zaragoza this season in the hope of reproving his strength. Moreno's idea is that as the king of civilian shooters, he should go to the civilian team, and Zaragoza is the civilian team he chose.

However, after having some shining opportunities this season, Mores gradually returned to normal after having some flash opportunities at the beginning of the season, so he cherishes every opportunity he plays very much.

And he also wanted to prove his strength to his old club Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid did not choose to sign with Moreno after two seasons of loan. Even though Moreno was already a free agent, Atletico Madrid did not choose to sign him.

This also made Moreno feel shame, so Moreno in this game was also holding his breath after the start of the game, wanting to prove his strength and make Atletico Madrid players regret it.

However, Moreno was defended by Baboro and had no chance to grab the spot in the penalty area. Baboro's height of 1.9 meters also made all the balls at high altitudes intercepted by Atletico Madrid.

"Good job, so that they can pass the ball at will, just defend the ball under their feet," Mark thought to himself.

If Mark only needs to defend the opponent's players' breakthrough, it will naturally reduce some of the pressure on defense, because Mark's selectivity can be much greater, which is more conducive to Mark's defense.

Atletico Madrid's defense also began to pay attention to Villa. As long as Villa moves to the wing, Velasco will defend him, and then Perea will make up for defense.

If Villa returns to the penalty area, Pereia will defend him by man, so Villa has no better chance. Pereia looks in good shape in this game.

Although Pereya also participated in the last game against Bochum, compared to the central defender's physical energy consumption should be second only to the goalkeeper, so Pereya is still relatively good in terms of physical fitness.

At this time, Savio passed the football to Villa. It was a half-high ball. Villa was preparing to head the ball to Moreno in the air, but since his position was not very good, it was not very easy to head the ball.

Perea also went around to defend, then headed the ball directly and flew out of the penalty area and was obtained by Atletico Madrid's Van der Fate.

"Raphael!!" Mark shouted and rushed towards the half of Zaragoza. At this time, the formation of Zaragoza was an offensive relationship, so their defensive formation was a little out of touch.

Mark rushed directly on the right, while Zaragoza's right defense was only one of their left-back Toledo, who was defending, and Savio was already left behind by Mark.

Although Savio was desperately chasing Mark, Mark did not control the ball, and Savio was not Mark's opponent in the sprint.

Van der Fate also heard Mark's shouting. After he got a chance, he passed the ball directly with a long pass to the front.

"Van der Fate passed the ball, but this time the pass seemed a bit too big. It's a pity. This time it was originally a good opportunity for Atletico Madrid to attack," Duan Xuan Ge said regretfully after seeing Van der Fate's pass.

"Mark, you will definitely get the football." After Van der Fate passed the ball, he thought confidently in his heart, because he and Mark had been working for the longest time, so he naturally knew that Mark's speed was numerous. In Van der Fate's opinion, Mark was definitely capable of getting football.

The football had already flew over Toledo's head, but because Toledo's position was a little forward, he turned around and chased the football. The distance between Toledo and Mark was as much as five or six meters, and everyone doubted whether Mark could surpass Toledo to catch up with the football.

Moreover, Zaragoza's central defender Milito also ran towards the football, and he was also ready to control the football. Can Mark get the football before these two people?

Although Toledo is very close to the football than Mark, he has his back to the football and he still needs to turn around. The moment he turns around, Mark is already two meters away from him.

Because Mark has never slowed down and is sprinting with all his might, his speed is naturally much faster than Toledo.

Zaragoza's central defender Milito was also running towards the football desperately. However, although Milito was not tall, his speed was not fast. When Milito was about to see the football, Mark also rushed to the football and successfully controlled the football.

"Mark once again showed excellent speed. He got the football before the two players of Zaragoza. This was an extraordinary move. I believe that only Mark could do such an incredible thing," Duan Xuan Ge said in surprise.

"Baopao" There were bursts of applause in Calderon's stadium, and Atletico Madrid fans cheered for Mark's amazing speed.

These fans also shouted loudly at Mark out of sincerity, and they could only reward Mark's performance with applause.

However, although Mark controlled the football, while Mark controlled the football, Milito also entangled Mark. It would not be very easy for Mark to break through Milito's defense.

Milito is also a well-known player in La Liga, but Milito's fame is related to Real Madrid. The deal that lost money in the summer of 2003 caused quite a stir. At that time, Real Madrid first announced that they had signed Milito, and then said that the Argentine failed the physical examination and gave up. In fact, according to Milito and his agent, the injury was false. Real Madrid went back on their word and had no sincerity to sign the contract. In the end, Milito joined Zaragoza and was very lively in the La Liga. However, Woodgate, who "passed the physical examination", was constantly injured and his position in Real Madrid was very unstable.

Milito started his career with the Argentine Independence team in 1997 and played for the team until 2003. After landing in Zaragoza, he quickly became the main force in the team. His outstanding physical fitness and strong style allowed him to gain a foothold in La Liga. It is worth mentioning that in the confrontation with "enemy" Real Madrid, he successfully frozen Ronaldo and Raul one after another. People can't see any signs of what Real Madrid calls "knee problems".

Mark also felt Milito's fierceness in defense. Milito, who is only 1.77 meters tall, has a stable center of gravity. Even a player like Mark with strong explosive power will find it difficult to break through his defense.

As long as Milito persists for a few seconds, he can wait for his teammates to come back to defend Mark together. Then it is not difficult to cut off Mark's football.

"Mark seems to be in trouble. He doesn't seem to have a good way to defend Milito." Duan Xuan Ge also said anxiously after seeing Mark's situation at this time.

"No chance, this little guy's defense is really great," Mark thought to himself, and Mark also heard the breathing of players behind him. Mark understood that this must be because the Zaragoza players had returned to defense, so Mark naturally didn't want to waste such an opportunity.

Mark sent the football forward and then forced a pass. This was the best way Mark thought of. Mark had to use his outstanding explosive power to create a chance to pass the ball.

Mark's pass quickly flew into the penalty area of ​​Zaragoza. Torres found a gap and jumped up to take a first shot. But Zaragoza goalkeeper Garcia seemed to be ready, and Garcia also jumped up and hit the football with both fists before Torres.

Then Zaragoza's midfielder Poncio got the football and he dribbled the ball and continued to advance. Soon the situation on the court changed. Before, Atletico Madrid attacked and Zaragoza defended.

In just a moment, it turned into Zaragoza's offense and Atletico Madrid's defense. Moreover, since the Atletico Madrid players were just about to pick up Mark, their position was quite chaotic. This is also the most familiar and favorite opportunity for defensive counterattacks in Zaragoza.

Poncio joined Zaragoza with Milito, and he was also the main midfielder of Argentina's World Youth Championship in 2001. There were also Chinese players in that year, which was the Chinese national football team led by Shen Xiangfu, known as the super platinum generation. However, it was later proved that this was another self-deception of the Chinese dynasty.

Poncio did not pass the football to Savio on the left because he saw Savio and Mark running desperately, and Savio's speed was obviously not as fast as Mark. Mark caught up with Savio in just a few strokes, and Poncio did not like Savio either.

What he believes more is that he is a player from the same country as him, that is, a player from Argentina, so he distributed the football to Galetti on the right. Galetti is also a typical Argentine winger player. His talent is also very good and his skills are equally excellent.

However, Galetti, like most of Argentina's offensive geniuses, does not know how to defend. Such a player naturally has no problem with offense, but he will undoubtedly be a team's weakness when defending.

However, Zaragoza is attacking now, so Galetti has no problem. Galetti easily drifted past Glencier's defense and then dribbled the ball and continued to move forward.

Then Zaragoza's forward Villa also ran to his right and sought cooperation with Galetti. Galetti did not pass the ball to Villa, but directly shot from the outside of the penalty area. The football slid out and ended this attack quickly.

The players of Atletico Madrid were also a false alarm, but Zaragoza is such a team. When they counterattack quickly, they basically had three or four players involved. If they didn't make an attack, they would continue to retreat to defend.

If Mark hadn't just played his speed advantage to the limit, he wouldn't have easily broken through Zaragoza's defense.

But Villa was also a little dissatisfied with Galetti, because in Villa's opinion, Galetti should cooperate with him and then shoot again.

However, Galetti ignored Villa's dissatisfaction. He also ran for half to prepare to defend.

"Pay attention to their position and don't give them a chance to shoot easily," Cooper also yelled off the court.

Cooper is also using shouts to remind Atletico Madrid players to pay attention to defense, and Cooper is not very satisfied with Atletico Madrid players' defense.

But Cooper also knew that this was Calderon Stadium after all, so Atletico Madrid players naturally could not play too conservatively at home, otherwise the home fans would definitely be dissatisfied.

In fact, the fans of Atletico Madrid really don’t have that many ideas. If they are asked to choose the team to win and play well, the fans of Atletico Madrid will definitely choose the former.

Only Real Madrid fans will ask the team to play well and win games. Atletico Madrid is in a revival period and they only hope that the team can win the game. As for other things, they have no reason to ask for more.

"The trio of Zaragoza team just now completed an attack quickly, which also shows the strength of Zaragoza." Duan Xuange analyzed the attack just now: "Mac's attack just now was caused by Milito's pressing, which caused Mark's forced cross. Then the football was punched out by the goalkeeper, and Poncio dribbled the ball and passed it to Galetti, and then Galetti scored. Three of the four players involved in this attack were Argentina players."

Duan Xuan Ge obviously regarded Milito, who was defending Mark as an offensive player, but Milito did have his role. If he did not defend Mark closely, then Mark would not be able to make a forced pass.
