193 UEFA Cup appearance
Van der Fate did not choose to shoot directly. He ran while observing the positions of the players in the penalty area. As a world-class midfielder, Van der Fate needs to allocate the football to players with better opportunities, rather than shooting by himself when he has the chance. Although Van der Fate's shooting skills are also very good, after all, passing is what he needs to do.
At this time, Torres and Mark seemed to have a close relationship and ran towards the side of the penalty area. Their running was to give Van der Fate a better shot opportunity.
The Middlesbrough forward naturally cannot allow these two players to get the opportunity easily. If the Middlesbrough central defender does not defend Mark and Torres, once Van der Fate passes the ball, Mark and Torres will have a good chance to shoot directly. Such mistakes are not allowed in the defense of the central defender.
But if both central defenders left the middle to defend, then Middlesbrough's middle defense would be gone and no one would protect the goalkeeper, so that Van der Fate could face the goalkeeper directly.
Southgate and Eschiogu were also hesitating, especially Southgate, as the team's backbone and team leader, he was thinking about a better way to deal with it.
"Don't move, protect the goalkeeper," Southgate ordered Eschiogu.
Southgate went to defend Torres because in his opinion, Torres's shooting accuracy is much higher than Mark, so he must not let Torres go, which is also because Torres, as the starting striker of the Spanish national team, has a greater reputation than Mark.
Van der Fate was waiting for this opportunity. After he saw Torres move, Middlesbrough's central defender did not defend him. Van der Fate smiled and he passed the football directly to Mark.
"Mark, let them see how good you are," Van der Fate thought to himself after passing the ball.
Mark received a pass from Van der Fate with his right foot, and Mark even had the chance to look up at the goalkeeper's position. Mark raised his head and looked at the Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzer, then swung his right foot to hit the goal directly.
The football flew like a cannonball and thought about Schwarzer's near corner. In Mark's opinion, shooting was to choose the goalkeeper's angle that he had no time to react to. Mark observed Schwarzer's position, and he was moving towards the far corner, so Mark also directly shot the football to the near corner.
Mark's observation and judgment are indeed very correct. Schwarzer is indeed moving towards the far corner, because Schwarzer believes that Mark will play in the far corner, and the far corner is the most difficult position for goalkeepers to defend, so he also pays special attention to this angle.
However, he didn't expect Mark to do the opposite. Mark actually hit the near corner directly. However, Schwarzer is a goalkeeper who has been famous in the Premier League for many years, and his reaction speed is also very fast.
He immediately responded after seeing Mark's shot, and then rushed to the near corner of the goal. However, Mark's shot was too powerful this time. Even if Schwarzer tried his best to save, the football flew into the net.
“goooooooooooooooooooool!!!”
"Atlanie Madrid's beautiful counterattack, Mark's powerful shot, the football flew into the net, Atletico Madrid took two goals at home," the commentator shouted excitedly.
"Mark, tireless Mark, la la la~~" The fans' praise songs of praise for Mark also sounded inside the Calderon Stadium.
"Let you not defend me" Mark ran towards Van der Fate after scoring the goal, looking back at Eschiogu who hadn't just been marking him and then thought to himself.
Eschiogu was also very depressed at this time. The defensive position commander just now was asked by Captain Southgate to do it, but at this time, Mark, who was not defending, formed a chance to score a goal, which made Eschiogu not feel depressed.
However, Eschiogu did not mean to blame Southgate, because he didn't know how to deal with it just now, and he was also envious and hesitant. If Southgate didn't tell him, he would probably stay in the middle of the penalty area and not keep a guard against Mark.
"Mark, you're doing a pretty job, I guess they won't underestimate you," Van der Fate said after giving Mark a warm hug.
"Raphael, your pass is amazing. With your pass like this, my task will be easier," Mark said with a smile.
"Mark has come to my home, please see this photo." After seeing Mark scored, Old Jason also showed the fans around him the photo with him when Mark went to his home.
The fans around also saw photos of Jason and Mark together. Many fans showed envious eyes. Some female fans were even getting rid of Jason and can help them contact Mark.
Old Jason also laughed and refused to leave. Old Jason knew that he could let Mark go to his home because of a coincidence before. He also knew that Mark had no friendship with him, and he didn't have to find that unnecessary trouble for Mark.
"Damn it, they will catch it in this opportunity." McLaren also cursed on the command system.
Although McLaren is not very concerned about the outcome of the game, he still hopes that the team can win as a professional coach. In addition, he also feels that Middlesbrough is better than Atletico Madrid in the team's lineup.
At this time, there were only fifteen minutes left before the end of the game, and there were two goals behind in the score. McLaren knew that Middlesbrough had no chance at all.
If Middlesbrough team is injured in the fight next time, it will be a loss. After all, Middlesbrough team will have a league test next.
Next, McLaren replaced Hasselbaink and replaced Cameroon striker Job. He did not use the last substitution slot, which was used to prevent some players from being injured.
In the next game, Middlesbrough players seemed to have been defeated by Mark's second goal, and the players who seemed very lazy on the court were even more motivated.
Middlesbrough players only hope to end the game as soon as possible and then return to England. Many players hope to go to the nightclub to enjoy a happy time at night.
A team like this can't show their due strength at all, and the last fifteen minutes of the game turned into garbage time, and neither player on both sides had the desire to attack.
Atletico Madrid is the defensive side. If the opponent's players do not want to attack, they naturally don't need to attack. The game ended until the end of the game, and the scores of both sides did not change. The final score was frozen at 2-0, and Atletico Madrid won at home.
All four group matches of Atletico Madrid's League Cup were over, and with one more game, Atletico Madrid led the fourth-ranked Bochum team by five points and qualified to advance to the next round of the League Cup.
"Oh... Madrid will win" After the game, there were long applause and fans' shouts sounded throughout the Calderon Stadium.
The applause and shouting should be given to Atletico Madrid players and head coach, because Atletico Madrid has not entered the knockout stage of the League Cup for a long time, so the Atletico Madrid players are very happy.
"Mark, what do you think about this game? During the game, you challenged two strong wing players in a row. Are you under pressure?" Caponero also interviewed Mark after the game. In this game, Mark was named the best player in the game.
"I am definitely very capable in Middlesbrough, and their wingers are also very good, but obviously we did better, I learned a lot from them, and I look forward to the next opponent," Mark said with a smile. It was obvious that after winning the game, Mark was in a very good mood.
"How do you watch the next Atletico Madrid game?" Caponero continued to ask.
"As long as Atletico Madrid can play its true level, I think I can defeat any opponent," Mark said confidently, and after that, Mark walked away.
After that, Mark returned to the locker room and celebrated with his teammates, and Cooper also went to attend the next press conference. Atletico Madrid players also disbanded directly after the celebration.
On that night, Atletico Madrid's chairman Cerezo invited all Atletico Madrid players to celebrate at a nightclub in the center of Madrid.
This is also because Atletico Madrid has been struggling for a long time, and Atletico Madrid's board of directors defines the European results this season as entering the League Cup group stage. Therefore, Atletico Madrid's ability to qualify in the group stage is beyond the expectations of Atletico Madrid's board of directors. The board of directors is also satisfied with Atletico Madrid's current results, and in order to commend the players, they naturally need to celebrate.
Fortunately, the game was held in the afternoon. After the game, the players still have time to go home to prepare and attend the party.
In fact, these players have their own outing suits, and the competition suits are all in the team's locker room, so these players don't have to prepare anything at all, and can drive to the nightclub to celebrate directly.
The cars of these players are parked in the underground parking lot of Calderon Stadium, so there is no problem with transportation.
In fact, it is better to say that it is club chairman Cerezo bringing these players to pick up girls, because the celebration location I chose was a very famous nightclub in Madrid, and Cerezo did not book the entire nightclub. There are still some men and women kissing me in the nightclub, which is interesting.
However, Mark found that none of these players brought their girlfriends and wives. In addition, after they came to the nightclub, they soon got into the state and looked for their own goals.
It is obvious that Mark was not used to such occasions, but since it was initiated by the club, Mark had to come. After Mark came here, he found a seat and then chatted with some players. Several people around Mark included Lusing, Van der Fate, Torres and others sitting together. Lusing explained to Mark that men were going to enjoy life, etc. Although Mark had different opinions on Lusing's words that Lusing was looking for more girlfriends, Mark did not prevent Lusing from talking endlessly.
At this time, a brunette came to Mark and sat down generously.
"Sister, your surname is yours, you are too familiar with it," Mark thought to himself.
"I don't know if I can sit down? My name is Lilina." Lilina's voice was the same as her clothes and appearance. It was a little charming in her sexy style. In every move, there was a little seductive. After Lilina sat down, she showed a greedy look like a beast in her eyes. If the eyes could be used as a hand, Luxin should have taken off Lilina naked at this time.
In Mark's opinion, this brunette is likely to become Lu Xin's bed companion today. Because in a corner of the nightclub, a "infatuated man" and a "resentful woman" had a chemical reaction under the catalysis of alcohol. Of course, such chemical reactions are destined to be an exothermic reaction that makes the two release heat exceed their control range, they will probably find a place to relieve it as much as possible. In nightclubs, whether in the United States or Europe, this situation often happens, so if Lu Xin immediately takes the young and beautiful brunette in front of him, go to a hotel to check in, or go to a luxurious car or any place where you can live, he would not be surprised, because nightclubs are actually a professional place to do this.
Of course, there are some differences between American nightclubs and European nightclubs. The United States can provide many places for loneliness, such as various undressing clubs, single clubs, and even husband and wife clubs. There are all kinds of things, even you can't imagine. If Americans go to nightclubs, most of them are young people. And it's mainly for drinking and having fun. As for being alone, there is no such purity as European nightclubs.
Mark heard from Glenshare that in England, there are always countless beauties wandering around in nightclubs. It is a paradise for English men. Even when it is mentioned, Glenshare is very nostalgic, because he said that there are a wide variety of beauties there, and countless beauties line up to wait for men to come, some to solve their sexual needs, and some to try their luck to find opportunities to become famous. So if you meet celebrities or models in nightclubs in England, you don’t need to feel strange. Perhaps those enchanting beauties are looking for "Kaizi who can make them famous."
As for whether the brunette beauty Lilina in front of her is looking for "Kaizi. Mark doesn't know, nor is she interested in knowing it. Because even if she sits here, she has a purpose. Mark believes that Frenchman Lu Xin will not have any objection. After all, both men and women are willing to fight and the other are willing to be beaten. Since you want to eat ice cream, you need to pay the price of ice cream.
There has never been a milk falling from the sky in this world as slightly yogurt cheese, and it is impossible to expired cheese!
Although Lilina was chatting in Lusin, her interest seemed to be on Torres. Perhaps because Torres was taller, handsome and handsome, Torres was also a chat expert, and he should be very experienced in nightclubs.
Listening to Lilina and Torres chatting constantly, Mark did not interrupt or talk. He was not interested in the woman opposite, so he was very sensible and just sat there so honestly, but his not speaking did not mean that the other party was not talking to him!
The brunette beauty Lilina obviously has a lot of interest in Mark. Although she has been chatting with Torres and Luxin, she always looks at Mark who seems to have nothing to do and looks very bored from time to time.
"Don't you introduce your companion?" Lilina pursed her delicate red lips, and her seductive eyes floated towards Mark.
Lu Xin, who was talking, was slightly stunned, and then he slapped his forehead. If it weren't for Lilina's reminder, he would have even forgotten the existence of Mark beside him. As for whether he was too excited to see the beauty and subconsciously forgot it, he was still afraid that Mark would steal his limelight.
"He is Mark, our Atletico Madrid player," Lusing introduced
"Mark, I've watched your game. I know you are an excellent player. In the last game, it was as good as Fernando," Lilina said with a charming smile.
"I deliberately pretended to be garlic, and I knew I was pretending to introduce something. I didn't have to do this if I wanted to seduce me, although I was very handsome." Mark thought in his heart very arrogantly.
At this time, Luxin saw that Mark did not speak, and the scene seemed a little awkward. He began to look for topics and introduced himself by the way: "Mark is one of the best players in our team. Of course, he mainly relies on me as a midfielder to defend so that he can perform like this."
"Oh, that's so amazing. It seems that you don't like talking very much?" Lilina's eyes were very relaxed. She looked at Mark in a slut, and her eyes were almost very similar to those of Lu Xin's previous eyes when she looked at her.
"Sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." Mark didn't want to communicate too much with Lilina, because Luxin's performance just now Mark already knew that Lilina was Luxin's prey tonight, and Mark didn't want to have too much interaction with this woman, so Mark ran away by urination.
"What a cute little boy." Lilina thought to herself after watching Mark leave.
In fact, Mark did not go to the bathroom, but went to the other side. Mark just wanted to avoid the slutty woman. In fact, Mark could leave early, but after all, this was a celebration party in the League Cup, so Mark wanted to stay for a while. Another reason was that Mark had nothing to do when he returned home.
His fiancée Colos is still working in another place and doesn't know when he will come back, so even if Mark goes home, it doesn't matter. It's better to chat with his teammates here.
