171 The King of Efficiency
"Come on, competitive!! Come on El Nino, come on Mark!" The fans at home shouted Torres and Mark's names. Torres was the best shot of Atletico Madrid, and Mark was the second scorer of Atletico Madrid. These two players are also the hope of Atletico Madrid.
"Mark doesn't seem to have any good chances." This game was played at Calderon's home court, and Mark and Van der Fate's family, Kolos and Sylvia, naturally came to cheer on the spot. Kolos was the one who just spoke. She saw that Mark had not shot a shot in this game, so she said with some concern. []
"Don't worry, Mark's position has been changed. He is no longer the Dutch midfielder who often shoots long shots. The task of a wing player is to pass the ball. You see, Mark has already passed the ball twice with very threatening passes," Sylvia said to Colos with an expert look.
Although Colos is also a small fan, she is still not as professional as Sylvia. Moreover, her purpose of watching football is to see Mark's outstanding performance. As for others, she doesn't watch it. It can be said that Colos is a pseudo-fan. In fact, it is no wonder that she and Mark are in a sweet time.
As the game progressed, although both teams had their own offensive opportunities, the players on both sides also adopted conservative tactics. Although the formations of both teams were both offensive and defensive balanced formations of four or two.
However, in the eyes of fans on the stadium, both teams tend to be more defensive. Atletico Madrid's four defenders have basically never been in half, which shows how conservative Atletico Madrid's tactics are.
It would be very normal for the central defender to only half. If the full-back only to assist in half, it would reflect the head coach's conservativeness in tactics.
Because in modern football, the assists of full-backs are also one of the team's important offensive methods. Even the Italian national team, a representative country in defensive football, their full-backs often intervene assists.
The head coaches of Atletico Madrid and Zaragoza seem to have already agreed, and neither of them has assisted.
So both teams can also be said to be very conservative.
In the conservative formation, both sides did not get many opportunities. The game has been going on for more than 30 minutes, and there were almost few shots on defense that could hit the goal frame.
In the 35th minute, Zaragoza dribbled the ball to attack. After receiving Villa's pass, Savio passed the ball to midfielder Movilia.
Lu Xin hurriedly pressed up, Movilia swung lightly past Lu Xin who was rushing up with a fake move, and passed the ball to the left with a big foot. Savio of Zaragoza stopped the ball with his left foot. The movement was very relaxed and free. Mark also rushed up to prepare to defend Savio.
Savio pushed the ball to the left and acted to break through the outside line. Mark turned around and wanted to get stuck. Savio pulled the ball to the inside line with his left foot. Mark quickly stopped. When his body was just halfway through, Savio pushed the ball back to the left, then drove the ball forward, and got rid of Mark with an acceleration.
"Can you do it? You suddenly become so powerful," Mark thought to himself.
But Mark did not give up on his pursuit of Savio. He was following Savio all the time and gradually shortened the distance between the two of them.
After seeing Mark being broken, Velasco rushed over immediately. Savio did not choose too much to entangle with Velasco and passed the ball horizontally to Moreno in the middle.
Moreno also pulled out to catch the ball. After receiving the ball, Moreno avoided Van der Fate's tackle and shot directly 30 meters away from the goal.
Fortunately, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Franco was very focused and jumped up to catch the ball. After landing, Franco immediately threw the ball to left-back Antonio Lopez, allowing Lopez to take the ball to attack. Lopez did not intervene in the assist at all, and he directly passed the ball to Van der Fate's feet.
After getting the ball, Van der Fate avoided Poncio's interception, he saw that Dergrencier had started on the left and passed the ball to the left with a long pass. Grencier and Galetti ran towards the landing point together. Grencier used his speed and technique to break through Galetti's defense and then drove the ball forward and went straight down the bottom.
Quarterro rushed over to make up for the position, and Glencier made a move to break out to the outside line. When Quarterro's body just turned, a change of direction in high speed broke through Quarterro from the right. Quarterro was too late to change the center of gravity. Glencier had successfully dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Although the angle was a little small, Glencier still chose to shoot. At the moment he raised his foot, he stretched out a foot and took the lead to the bottom line. Glencier turned around and saw that it was Zaragoza's central defender Gabriel Milito who completed the tackle.
"Atlancia Madrid after a dull thirty minutes of game, they finally have to exert their strength." Duan Xuan Ge praised after seeing Atletico Madrid's excellent cooperation. At the same time, he said with some regret: "If this attack passes to the right and hand it over to Mark, the chance will undoubtedly be greater."
As Mark's home studio, Duan Xuan Ge naturally promoted Mark unscrupulously, because the more he praised Mark, the happier the Chinese fans would be, and the happier the fans would be, the greater the reputation of Duan Xuan Ge, and he would have made another step forward from his way to surpass Brother Jianxiang.
The referee signaled that this was a corner kick!
Van der Fate was responsible for taking the corner kick. Van der Fate took the corner kick straight to the front point, and Mark pulled with the Zaragoza players in the penalty area.
After seeing the football flew over, Mark was also ready to jump up and compete for the top, but Moreno happened to be ahead of Mark. When Mark jumped up and was about to head the ball, Moreno also pushed it by Moreno. Then a player wearing a white jersey pushed the ball out of the penalty area first. Mark saw that this player was the backbone of Zaragoza's defense, Milito, which was also the second time Milito blocked Atletico Madrid's attack.
Poncio received the ball from Milito outside the penalty area and kicked the ball directly into the frontcourt. Villa, who was just "strolling" near the center line, ran quickly towards the landing point and took the lead to remove the ball. A simple change of direction swam past Lu Xin who came to defend.
A man dribbled the ball into Getafe's penalty area. Peña rushed over from the side to defend, but was also shook by Villa. In desperation, Perea had to put Villa on the ground from behind. The referee stopped the game and showed Peña a yellow card. Zaragoza won a free kick 40 meters away from the goal. Since Zaragoza's players were generally not very tall and there was no threat to the free kick. Baboro jumped high and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
Outside the penalty area, Poncio passed the ball to the right winger Galetti in front of Van der Fate. Galetti moved his body to the right and made a move to the bottom. Lopez quickly turned to the left. Galetti used his left foot to push the ball to the left, and he pulled out the angle to lift his left foot and shot hard. The ball flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Franco stretched his body to the limit and only changed the original direction of the football. Mark also rushed into the penalty area and rushed towards the landing point with Villa. In the end, Mark was faster and took the lead and shoveled the ball out of the baseline. Franco, who had climbed up from the ground, patted Mark on the head with his hand to express his gratitude. Barboro also shouted to Mark: "Beautiful job, Mark! Everyone is cheering up!"
The corner kick was taken by Savio. The corner kick he took was not of high quality and was held in his arms by Franco. Then Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack.
Mark dribbled the ball from the side and handed it to Van der Fate in the middle, and Van der Fate also passed the football to left forward Glenshare.
Glencier kicked the ball, and center Salva couldn't shoot comfortably under Milito's interference, so she had to cross the ball to the top of the penalty area.
Torres also leaned on the central defender Alvaro who defended him, and then sent the ball back to Atletico Madrid teammates outside the penalty area.
At this time, Mark had already run from the right to the middle. After seeing Torres's return to the ball, he did not adjust at all. He just made a long shot with a powerful and powerful shot.
"Boom!!" The football hit Zaragoza's crossbar and made a muffled sound, then bounced into the penalty area. The football bounced towards Salva, but Salva was obviously not prepared for this opportunity. Salva had no good chance of shooting after Milito's interference, but he still shook his head and attacked the goal. The ball hit the outside test of the post and bounced out of the baseline. Salva, who missed the opportunity, knelt on the ground and pounded the lawn hard.
"The two teams seem to have suddenly accelerated the offensive rhythm of the game. This should be what fans like to see the most," Duan Xuan said excitedly. After all, Duan Xuan also hopes to enjoy high-quality football as a commentator. He is also a fan. He also likes to see games where the offensive and defensive conversions are very fast.
Atletico Madrid and Zaragoza were just as they had agreed. If both teams did not attack, they would attack if they attacked.
The two sides played very fiercely. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of goalkeepers and defenders on both sides, the score would have long been rewritten.
It was Zaragoza again to attack. Milito received a return pass from Movilia in the backcourt and saw Savio standing on the left side of the center line raising his hand to ask for the ball and passed it over.
Mark also judged Milito's intention in advance and accelerated and rushed over as soon as the ball was shot. He jumped in front of Savio and pointed the ball with his head. He accelerated and threw away Savio's defense.
After successfully breaking through, Mark drove the ball and rushed towards the penalty area. Milito rushed over first. Mark, who was running at high speed, did not stop the ball at all. He continued to walk into the penalty area. At this time, Mark had already thrown Milito away for half of his body.
At this time, Mark was already in the penalty area of Zaragoza. Two players, Alvaro and Toledo, ran towards Mark to prepare to stop the football under Mark's feet.
Mark was also watching the team's running position at this time, mainly observing the running position of Atletico Madrid players. Mark was preparing to use this opportunity to help Atletico Madrid expand the score.
Mark saw that Torres was not defending, but Torres' position was just above the offside position, so Mark did not dare to pass it to him.
Fortunately, Torres also knew that his position was not good, so he was trying hard to send him to the back. Torres was preparing to return to the position that was not offside to cooperate with Mark.
At this moment, a huge cheer sounded over the Calderon Stadium, and every fan stood up. All the Madrid fans shouted loudly, "Come on", "Come on!"
"Come on, Mark, this offense must rewrite the score for the team." Colos and Sylvia also stood up. Colos also shouted at Mark in the stadium. Even if she knew that Mark could not hear it, she shouted with emotion.
In Colos' eyes, there are no other players. There is only one player in Mark in the whole game. Perhaps Colos is a fake fan, but she is the fake fan who likes Mark the most.
Soon, two defenders of Zaragoza had already run to the vicinity of Mark. If they could touch the football under Mark's feet, Atletico Madrid would have lost this time.
But this time, Atletico Madrid fans quickly discovered that Mark passed the ball, and it was a pick-through pass.
After Mark saw two Zaragoza defenders pounce towards him, he also found a player wearing a red and white shirt running into the penalty area with his eyes.
Mark knew that this must be his teammate, so Mark directly passed the football to his teammate with a pass.
The player who was inserted in the back row was Mark's good partner, midfielder Van der Fate. Van der Fate had no adjustment after receiving Mark's pass, just shot with a shot.
This is because Zaragoza goalkeeper Garcia has already attacked. Garcia abandoned the goal the moment he saw Mark pass the ball. This is because Garcia has no other choice. If he doesn't take the initiative, then when Van der Fate adjusts the football before shooting, he basically doesn't have much chance.
If Garcia attacked at this time, there might be some chances. At least Van der Fate did not adjust the ball, which is also the keen nerve that Garcia has as a goalkeeper.
For Van der Fate at this time, after seeing the opponent's goalkeeper attacking, he directly shot, because he had no extra time to make adjustments, so Van der Fate barely shot.
But Van der Fate's shot was saved directly by Zaragoza's goalkeeper Garcia.
"Garcia saved this shot. Garcia is so brave. Has Atletico Madrid's excellent opportunity been wasted like this?" Duan Xuan Ge said regretfully.
However, although Garcia saved Van der Fate's shot this time, the football did not bounce out of the penalty area, and Mark still got the football. Mark's keen shooting feeling made him notice the flight route of the football in advance.
Then Mark started early and came to the football. When he was almost facing an empty goal, Mark shot and scored the football into the net.
“goooooooooooooooooooal!!!”
"1:0, when the game reached the 39th minute, Mark used his outstanding sense of smell in front of the goal and scored a goal." Duan Xuan Ge was also excited to shout for Mark's goal.
After Mark scored the goal, he ran to the fan's stands and raised his arms and shouted loudly. At the same time, Mark also blew a kiss in the stands because Mark knew that Colos was in one of the stands here.
Kroos was also very excited when he saw Mark's goal. She jumped up and hugged Sylvia.
When Mark ran to the side and blew kisses, Kroos also responded to Mark.
The cheers at the entire Calderon Stadium reached a climax, and all the fans were shouting Mark's name. I don't know how many times Atletico Madrid fans have called Mark's name. Anyway, since Mark scored, the fans have been shouting Mark's name loudly.
“make, make, make, makema
avilla. (Mark, Mark, Mark; wonderful Mark.)” There are songs made by fans for Mark, which is also the expression of Calderon fans' love for Mark.
Van der Fate was the first to run to Mark, then knelt down on one knee, put Mark's right foot on his goal and made a shoe shining action with both hands.
"Raphael, you're so funny," Mark couldn't help but smile after seeing Van der Fate's actions.
At the same time, Mark was also very happy because Mark had already put aside his big talk before the game. If he could not defeat his opponent in this game, it would be too shameless. At this time, Mark was the first to help Atletico Madrid score a goal, which was also a good start. After all, the team's defensive ability is also very strong, and it is also the home court of Atletico Madrid. It is not easy for Zaragoza to win the game.
Soon the rest of the teammates also ran to Mark and gave Mark a hug. Some players touched Mark's head and expressed encouragement to Mark.
"Good job, good Mark." Cooper was not very excited after seeing Mark's goal, but he was also very excited because Mark's goal could help Cooper better arrange the team's tactical arrangement in the next game.
Chapter completed!
