Mark chased Cenden behind Cenden, and Mark also used his excellent running to gradually shorten the offensive distance between him and Cenden.

Mark knew that he looked down on Cenden a little. The reason why Mark was able to succeed before was because he never looked down on every opponent, but he did look down on Cenden a little in this game.

Mark decided that in the next ninety minutes, he would never relax even at all against Cenden. Mark wanted to treat Cenden as Robben to defend and Cenden as his most powerful enemy.

Cenden also found that Mark was very fast. After he got rid of Mark, Mark had already caught up with him without much time. Cenden then passed the football to the forward player, which was just a tentative pass.

The football passed to the top of Viduka's head. Viduka headed directly against Baboro, who was defending him, but this time the header seemed a bit outrageous, and the football flew out of bounds.

"Luckily, that stupid guy didn't catch the ball well." Mark thought of it with some luck in his heart. At the same time, Mark also looked at Cen Deng who had just broken through him with a profound meaning.

After looking at the Cenden, who was only a little over 1.7 meters tall, Mark also had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Mark knew that since Cenden could play tricks on him during the attack, Mark would have to fight back at Cenden. Only in this way could Cenden let him see his power.

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Franco quickly drove the ball, and the football passed directly to Mark who was receiving the ball. After receiving the football, Mark adjusted it and then dribbled the ball forward.

Soon Cen Deng came to him to press him. Cen Deng's defensive ability has always been his weakness before, but after the coach of the Dutch national team and Edvocart's training, his defensive ability has also been greatly improved. Although it is not very outstanding, it should be much better than before.

Moreover, the traditional Dutch team's wingers are players with not very strong defensive abilities, just like another Dutch team's left winger, Ovemas, is not an excellent defensive player.

However, even if Cenden is an excellent defensive player, he may not be able to defend Mark's speed advantage. For Mark, it should be his biggest weapon besides a free kick. If he can be easily defended by someone, Mark won't have to continue to hang out.

Because Mark does not have excellent personal skills, if some of his speed are banned, Mark will really completely lose his offensive means and skills.

I saw Cenden coming to defend against him and then directly drove the football forward, then started at high speed to dribble the ball. Cenden also felt that Mark was about to break through Cenden like the wind.

"So fast." This was the first reaction in Cen Deng's heart. However, Cen Deng did not let Mark go. He directly blocked Mark's route with his body.

This is also a subconscious reaction from Cenden. As a player who is not very good at defense, he naturally cannot let Mark break through the past so easily. Cenden also regards Mark as a shame for making Mark break through the past so easily. He cannot let a new player like Mark bring him such a shame.

Although Cenden is only twenty-eight years old, he has been playing in the European arena for many years. He has destroyed many talented players. He has already made a big fuss before and needs to teach Mark a lesson, so naturally he can't let Mark break through his defense so recklessly.

Players like Cenden also attach great importance to the so-called dignity. He also fights for his dignity because Cenden's situation in England is not very good.

His career at Chelsea was not very ideal. Although joining Middlesbrough became the core of the team, he was squeezed into the middle due to the emergence of the rising star Downing.

Zenden thinks this is also something that makes him feel embarrassed, because after all, the wing is the position where he becomes famous, and Zenden also thinks that his offense on the wing is not worse than that of Tang Ning, so he will tell Mark this game that he should teach Mark a good lesson. At the same time, he is also challenging Mark while motivating himself.

"Boy, I will never let you go," Cenden said to Mark after the foul.

"Then you'll try it next." Mark didn't look at Cenden at all. Mark ran to the frontcourt to prepare to take on his teammate's free kick attack opportunity.

Due to Mark's range, he did not take the free kick this time, and Van der Fate took the free kick.

Mark remained on the wing, and Cenden defended by Mark. He didn't care about Cenden's defense. He still stood directly on the wing and did not move. Mark was waiting for the free kick taken by Van der Fate.

Mark knew that if Van der Fate passed the ball to him, then Mark believed that as long as there was no defensive player in front, he should be able to get football.

Van der Fate quickly drove the free kick out and handed the ball directly to Mark on the right. Mark began to run forward the moment Van der Fate passed the ball.

Van der Fate's pass also happened to be at Mark's feet. This time the pass also reflected the tacit cooperation between the two players. Mark used his speed to shake off Cenden's defense while running, and drove the ball half way ahead of him and rushed forward.

Although Cenden wanted to try his best to catch up with Mark's pace, his speed was obviously not as fast as Mark's, and his desperate pursuit did not shorten the distance between the two.

Middlesbrough left-back Matthew Bates also rushed towards Mark. This time he wanted to block Mark's attack and intercept Mark no matter what action he took.

However, Mark's offensive opportunity this time was not something he said he could intercept it. Mark saw Bates coming up to intercept him and saw Mark poking the football and then continuing to accelerate and overtake Bates. Bates obviously did not have a better preparation for Mark's start speed.

Originally, Bates was a young player of Middlesbrough, and he was just a substitute for Middlesbrough. However, since Middlesbrough had appeared in advance, McLaren also gave Bates a chance to start. McLaren was also out of kindness, and he hoped that Bates could bring surprises to the team on the court.

After all, Bates is also a very promising player, and the personnel at the full-back position of Middlesbrough are not very rich. If they can find a capable new player, it should be of great help to the next game.

As a defensive player, Bates is still a little young, and he is facing Mark with a speed advantage, so he is still a little nervous because this is what Bates has been promoted to the first team lineup by head coach McLaren this season, and he is also a player trained by Middlesbrough's youth training system.

So Bates also wanted to prove his strength. Although he was promoted to the first team, his contract was held for the youth team. In other words, if Bates performs poorly, then Middlesbrough is likely to transfer him to the youth team or even the reserve team.

Due to Bates' hesitation, he did not block Mark's route of dribbling this time, and he did not even make a foul, so he allowed Mark to break through directly.

After the breakthrough, Mark made a cross, so naturally he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Mark tried his best to pass the ball, but it was not a high-altitude ball. Mark chose to roll the ball and cross it.

This is because Mark knows that Middlesbrough’s central defender should not be fast, but their heading ability should be better. If Mark passes the ball at high altitude, it is not very likely.

If Atletico Madrid striker Torres can catch the football, he may not be able to get a shot directly, so Mark chose a more clever pass method, which is to make a rolling ball pass. Mark also hopes that Torres can use his flexibility to successfully grab the points.

However, Torres did not seem to have a tacit understanding with Mark. He was still waiting for Mark's high-altitude cross in the penalty area, and did not pay attention to the opportunity to catch Mark's ball under his feet.

After the football was stuck in the position by Southgate, it broke the football out of the penalty area.

Southgate was born in Watford on September 3, 1970. He started his career at Crystal Palace Club in 1988-1989. Southgate once played for Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough. Since the 1992-1993 season, he has made more than 500 appearances in the Premier League and scored 26 goals. Southgate has been a member of the England team and participated in the 1996 and 2000 European Cups, as well as the 1998 and 2002 World Cups. March 31, 2004

On the day, Southgate played for England in a friendly match with Sweden. In June of the same year, Southgate, who was not selected for England to participate in the European Cup, announced his withdrawal from England. Southgate made a total of 57 appearances for England and scored 2 goals. The scene that left the deepest impression on the Chinese audience was the semi-finals of the 1996 European Cup. At the Wembley Stadium, England and Germany were saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Koppke in the penalty shootout, and England was unfortunately blocked from the final.

Southgate's characteristics are accurate positioning and prediction of opponent's movements, so he is not very tall among central defenders, and he can occupy the position of central defender of the England national team for a long time and often serves as captain in the later stages.

In the warm-up match against Argentina before the 2002 World Cup, he was responsible for defending Batistuta. The God of War did not shoot a single shot directly at the goal in one game.

Southgate also has good academic performance, has A grades in middle school, and is also very low-key, which makes him calm and unstoppable on the court.

"Counterattack" Southgate was also shouting at the players in front after destroying the football out of the penalty area.

Southgate also hopes to use such shouts to inspire the morale of Middlesbrough players, and at the same time, the Middlesbrough players can cheer up.

Although Middlesbrough in this game sent most of the main players to Calderon Stadium, it seems that these players are not able to cheer up. They are not very motivated for this game, and motivating the players is naturally what the team captain needs to do.

Southgate is the spiritual leader of Middlesbrough. All he has to do is to replace the head coach to inspire the morale of the whole team and allow the players to perform better in the game.

It was obvious that Southgate's yell also played a role. After he opened the ball in the frontcourt, Viduka pushed Baboro behind him and jumped up and shook his head to the ball, pushing the ball directly to the right.

Middlesbrough's right forward is Spanish player Mendeta. Mendeta is also a very tragic player.

Born in Bilbao, Spain's Basque Region, he joined Valencia at the age of 19. Here, Mendeta grew up to be the best midfielder in the world. He can compete in many positions in the midfield: right forward, back midfielder or front midfielder. He has excellent breakthrough ability on the wing, accurate crossing, and was also a world-famous penalty kick handler at that time. As the captain, he led Valencia to the finals of the Champions League twice in 2000 and 2001. In the semi-finals of the 1999-2000 Champions League, Valencia defeated Barcelona 4-1 and was considered to be the pinnacle of Mendeta. In the 2000 European Cup, although Spain was eventually eliminated by Zidane's free kick, Mendeta continued to perform well, with his great attack power and genius dribbling and dispatching once again proved his value, and thus reached the peak of his career.

In 2001, Mendeta transferred to Lazio with a net worth of 8 billion pesetta, equivalent to US$41 million. This number is also the third largest transfer of the season, second only to Zidane transferring to Real Madrid and Buffon transferring to Juventus. However, in Serie A, the Spanish midfielder genius was not used and struggled. A season later, he was loaned to Barcelona. Back to La Liga, Mendeta quickly found his feeling that he performed well in the early stages of the season and the Champions League, but was squeezed into substitutes by players such as Mota and Rochebuck due to injury. Moreover, with the dismissal of Van Gaal, his dream of permanent transfer to Barcelona was shattered.

In the 2003-04 season, Mendeta landed in the Premier League to join Middlesbrough. In England, Mendeta once got rid of the trouble of injury and became the best midfielder in MiBo and even the Premier League. Under his leadership, MiBo won the League Cup and won two goals in the Premier League 4-1 win against Manchester United.

Mendeta's life was destined to be tragic. After being born, he was abandoned by his mother in the monastery of Castellon. He was an orphan. We only saw the indifference and determination on his face, but we could not explore the real world in his heart. Playing football was the only way to break free from the shackles of his soul. When he was a child, he loved this sport so much that he had to sleep with football every night. At that time, he would never have thought that it was this almost dependent hobby that became the biggest killer of his football career after many years. Mendeta did not want to be separated from football. On the court, he loved to control the ball and enjoyed the wonderful feeling of football turning under his feet, which was hard to accept by the Italian team.

He did not leave voluntarily, but failed after leaving. Many people who have been following him began to miss the glorious years he led Valencia to the European Champions League final for two consecutive years after he chose to wander. At that time, fans called him the "Mestalia magic lamp", which was a metaphor for him guiding Valencia forward like a lighthouse, praising him like a bright light to illuminate the Mestalia Stadium that had been dark for many years. His magic made Valencia wait for the world's admiration and respect again. At that time, his pride and loneliness would only add to his unparalleled spirit, and now it will only make people sigh at the vicissitudes of the world and the coldness of the world. The narrow-minded people will even ridicule him.

Atletico Madrid's current head coach Cooper knows Mendeta best. Cooper directly established Mendeta's core lineup from Valencia. Mendeta was also the captain of the team when Cooper coached Valencia. Cooper also felt a little moved when he saw his former disciples in the command seat.

Cooper naturally knew that Mendeta had a very difficult journey after leaving Valencia, but as a professional coach, Cooper would certainly make targeted defense against Mendeta based on some of his technical characteristics.

Glencier was also the main winger of Chelsea, but because Abu was sold to Atletico Madrid after he got the car. Although these two players are not comparable in terms of value, their experiences are also very bumpy.

Moreover, although Mendeta's injuries have improved a little for many years, he is still injured after all. After seeing Glenshare coming up to tackle him with all his heart, Mendeta was also a little panicked. Mendeta knew that the physical confrontation of Premier League players was very fierce, and he did not dare to fight head-on with these players because his body could not stand it.

Although Glencier was a player of Atletico Madrid at this time, he also played in the Premier League for many years, and the style of the Premier League players cannot be changed for the time being.

Mendieta passed the big foot to Cen Deng on the left side. Mendieta's excellent footwork also ensured that he could do a large-scale pass transfer, which was also a routine for Middlesbrough's offense.

McLaren asked Middlesbrough’s two wide players to do more large-scale transfers, and then allow the opponent’s defense to create gaps.

When Centen or Tangning was a winger, they often had a certain advantage in speed, so McLaren nodded with satisfaction after seeing Mendieta's pass. He was also satisfied with Mendieta's handling of the ball.

"Well done well, that's it. We are a technical team and we must give full play to our technical advantages." McLaren thought in his heart with satisfaction.

However, at this time, Mark suddenly appeared before Cenden and jumped up, and got the football. Mark passed the football to Van der Fate and then said something to Cenden, but he didn't piss off Cenden: "Is your name Cenden? It's too slow?"
