199 Acquaintance Mallorca

"Oh, that's right." Mark nodded after hearing the police's explanation. Mark understood a little. It turned out that the robber was a Vietnamese, and the Vietnamese were all ungrateful beasts. Mark was not surprised by him robbing Atletico Madrid's tickets. China had helped Vietnam before, but in the end, the Vietnamese still used Chinese food and guns to attack China.

Nothing that beastly nation can do is surprising. Mark really regrets that he didn't teach the Vietnamese robber well just now. Mark felt that his move just now was too kind.

"Mark, is there anything?" the policeman asked with regret after seeing Mark's face full of hatred and regret.

"Nothing is wrong, I just think that such a person should be sentenced to a heavy sentence by the judge." Mark found an excuse to pass by.

The transcript was soon completed, and Mark was about to leave the police station, but Mark was surrounded by police. It turned out that most of the people in this police station were fans of Atletico Madrid.

Since Mark has come here, he is naturally looking for an opportunity to ask for Mark's signature. Mark is also a new idol of Atletico Madrid recently. Mark's popularity at Atletico Madrid is also catching up with Torres.

Mark also met the requirements of these policemen. In fact, there were not many people in total, and it would not take long for Mark to sign them.

Lusing, Van der Fate and others came to the police station to investigate with Mark. Several of them had already made records and then waited for Mark outside.

In fact, these people did not see any details about the previous events, so they were not asked much, so the investigation time was faster than Mark.

The police still sent Mark and others back to the training ground of Atletico Madrid. If the Atletico Madrid were under normal circumstances, there would be no one at this time.

But today is very different. All the players seem to have not left and are waiting for Mark and others to return in the training ground. This also shows that Mark's popularity is coming. If ordinary people are, there will definitely not be so many people waiting for them here.

Mark was very happy to see these people waiting for him. In fact, these people were also worried about Mark. After all, this happened for the first time in Atletico Madrid's club.

Chairman Cerrezzo and General Manager Hill were also waiting for Mark. This time, Mark did help save a lot of money in the club.

"Mark, welcome back, you proved yourself to be an excellent Atletico Madrid player," said Chairman Cerrezo, patted Mark's shoulder.

Mark was also very happy about this. Mark was brave enough to act. Even if this matter was not something within the Atletico Madrid club, Mark would still help others to stop the robbers. This matter is not a problem, and Mark did not expect any reward at all.

However, although Mark didn't expect anything, the things that could be understood by so many people still made Mark feel very good.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. Actually, I didn't do anything," Mark said with some emotion.

Then the players who stayed at the training base came up to hug Mark, and everyone expressed envy for Mark's heroic behavior just now. Mark was also boasted to these people about his previous behavior.

Mark Mark then asked Chairman Cerrezzo whether the ticket price had been recovered. Because the previous ticket price was scattered all over the floor, Mark also went to the police station to take notes, so Mark didn't know what happened later, so Mark asked curiously.

"All of them have been recovered, and some of the match tickets of 100,000 euros in total" Cerezo told Mark with a smile, and Cerezo praised Mark again: "If it weren't for you this time, our club would have suffered a lot of losses."

What Cerrezzo said is the truth, because although the shareholders of Atletico Madrid Club have a certain competitive foundation, this is the club's working capital after all, and the working capital is uninsured. If it is really robbed by the robbers, Atletico Madrid will also suffer a certain loss. Although such a loss is not too great, Mark's salary for about two weeks, it is a good thing to be able to not hurt money.

Mark also felt that this matter should have passed like this, and he didn't think about it. Mark also actively devoted himself to training to prepare for the next away game against Mallorca.

Soon Atletico Madrid will go to Mallorca to compete in the next round of La Liga. Mallorca is a famous tourist destination in Spain and the only stadium on the outer island of Spain.

Clubs like European football are rare. In Mark's impression, except for Mallorca, it should be the Palermo Club on Sicily, Italy.

The full name of Mallorca is Real Madrid Club. Everyone may like to call it Real Madrid abbreviated as Real Madrid. In fact, Mallorca can also be referred to as Real Madrid abbreviated as Real Madrid, but compared with Real Madrid's results, Real Mallorca is really not enough to watch.

Real Mallorca Football Club was founded in 1916 and is full of the name Real Mallorca Sports Club. Its official first venue is called Buenos Aires Stadium. The team was named "Real Mallorca" by King Alfonso VIII. It is a veteran team with a long history. Mallorca won the second division championship in the early days of its founding team, especially during the Spanish Civil War. It did not perish like some teams, but instead won almost all awards.

In 1960, the team advanced to the First Class A for the first time, and since then, it has risen and fallen several times. Its seventh time in 1997 and the last time it was the first time it entered the finals of the Copa del Rey in 1991. 1997-1998 was the best period. Under the leadership of head coach Ekdore Cooper, he won the runner-up in the Copa del Rey, and then defeated Barcelona and won the Spanish Super Cup. In 1999, he achieved another record and won the runner-up in the European Cup of Winners. As for La Liga, his best record was third, losing to North Barcelona and Real Madrid. In 2000, the team was named the eighth team in the 1999 world by the Federation of Football History and Statistics.

After entering the 21st century, Mallorca's performance has always been in the middle, and this season, Mallorca's ranking is the last of the last 20 teams in La Liga. It is very likely that he will be relegated after the end of the season. Mallorca's head coach is not having a good life. Because Etoo's departure, Mallorca's attack line was affected by the eyes. The defensive counterattack style they rely on for fame lacks a stable scoring point, so they cannot create threats to their opponents at all.

Moreover, as the coach of Atletico Madrid, Argentine Cooper should have a deep relationship with Mallorca, because the first team Cooper coached in Spain was Mallorca, so Cooper was in a very complicated mood when playing against Mallorca.

Cooper was also very happy when coaching in Mallorca, and his ability to join Valencia, which made him famous after joining the Valencia team at that time, was also thanks to his achievements in Mallorca.

When Cooper coached Mallorca, he relied on Etoo's successful defensive counterattack style to successfully overturn several strong teams in La Liga and established his position as the best foreign head coach in La Liga.

But Mallorca was in a difficult situation at this time and made Cooper feel a little sad. He had the opportunity to go to Mallorca to continue coaching before joining Atletico Madrid this season. After all, Cooper's house in Mallorca has not been sold yet, and Mallorca Club is also having private contact with Cooper, and they also want to use Cooper to replace their current head coach.

It's just that Cooper's asking price is relatively high, so Mallorca's board of directors is still about whether to sign a contract with Cooper. After all, Cooper is also a famous coach in La Liga, so Cooper's net worth is definitely much higher than the current Floro, and it is also unknown whether Cooper can adapt to Mallorca's tactical style again.

Just as Mallorca was delaying, Atletico Madrid took action in time. They successfully signed Cooper before Mallorca, allowing Cooper to serve as the team's head coach.

Mallorca regretted his achievements after seeing Atletico Madrid sign Cooper. Atletico Madrid can be said to be very similar to Mallorca in two thousand years.

At that time, Mallorca had forward Etoo, while Atletico Madrid had Torres. Both forwards were experts who were good at exerting their personal abilities. In addition to the different skin colors, the two players still had many similarities in their technical characteristics.

However, although Mallorca regrets it, it is useless. Mallorca's chairman Alemmani has issued an ultimatum to head coach Floro before the game, either winning the game or getting out of class.

In fact, Mallorca's chairman Alemani has a hard time, because although Alemani is the chairman of Mallorca, he does not have any shares in Mallorca. He is working for Mallorca club. If the team performs poorly, he will be in danger of being dismissed.

Next year will be the day for the presidential election of Mallorca. If Mallorca's performance this season is not good, then Alemani's presidential career will be coming to an end next year.

However, as the chairman of the Mallorca team, Alemane actually did a very good job, because Mallorca is a small club in La Liga after all, and the club's development scale is still relatively small. Every year, Mallorca relies on continuous sellers to maintain the operation of the club.

However, it can be said that Mallorca's business has been successful in recent years. As long as Mallorca does not relegate, it will be successful. As for the qualifications of the European war, it is just an extra thing. You can get the best, and even if you can't get it, there is nothing to regret.

After getting off the plane, Atletico Madrid players took a bus to Mallorca's home court.

Mallorca is full of sandy beaches, steep cliffs, fields with olives or apricot trees, and other changing natural scenery. Because of the abundant sunshine, it has always been called the "Mediterranean Paradise".

Mark finally gained some knowledge when he saw that the Balearic Islands were simply a resort. Mark thought to himself: "When the season is over, you must come and have fun, it looks really good here."

Mark had the intention to come to Mallorca for vacation at this time, but all this had to be done until the end of the season. The bus soon arrived at Mallorca's home court, St. Mois Stadium, the home court of the Spanish League League team Mallorca Football Club, with a capacity of 26,500 people.

The home court of Mallorca in La Liga stadium, the Santa Mois Stadium is a relatively recent one: in 1999, the Santa Mois Stadium was built for the celebration of the University of Palma. It was also from that time that Mallorca began to use this stadium as its home court.

After the team got off the car at the entrance of the stadium, the fans were warmly welcomed. Of course, most of the fans came to welcome Torres. They worship Torres as an idol, which may also be related to the fact that there are no outstanding local stars in the Mallorca team.

Their best foreign aid Etoo also transferred this season, causing Mallorca fans to lose their favorite idol. Moreover, because Mallorca's performance this season is very sluggish, fans do not have much passion for the club.

"Fernando, I didn't expect you to be so popular everywhere," Mark teased Mark after entering the corridor of the locker room.

"I can't do anything about this, it's because the fans are too enthusiastic," Torres said helplessly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and he seemed very innocent.

After seeing Torres's look of not being beaten, Mark made a very contemptuous look. In fact, when Mark despised Torres, he also forgot about himself. While Mark was crazyly sought after by fans, his performance was also very proud, which was even better than Torres.

"I know that everyone will despise Mallorca in this game, but I hope everyone will not think so." Cooper made the final arrangement after the players came to the locker room: "But Mallorca is a very strong team, and we cannot ignore them. In this game, we will treat Mallorca as a competitive team to play."

However, for the fact that the players of Atletico Madrid have learned from the last game, they did not look down on Mallorca, and Atletico Madrid players have gradually matured.

However, although Atletico Madrid did not ask for instructions from Mallorca in this game, it made some changes in the starting lineup. Because Atletico Madrid played two games in a week, there were also rotations in the starting lineup. Mark replaced Torres in this game and appeared in the starting lineup.

The position where Mark appeared was not the right forward he had used to, but the forward. This was the first time Mark appeared in the starting lineup as a single forward in this game.

"Mark, your task in this game is to find opportunities in the frontcourt. Once you have the chance, you can shoot at will," Cooper said to Mark.

"I understand coach, I will do it in the new position," Mark said after nodding.

Mark knew that he had a great responsibility in this game, because although Mallorca played at home, Mallorca would definitely not attack with all his might, so Mark might not have many opportunities on the court, so Mark could only seize the limited opportunities to help the team score.

Although Mark had played as a forward in Ajax before, it was in the Dutch league after all, and Mark was not sure whether he could do a good job in the forward position.

"Mark, don't be nervous, I will pass the ball behind you, just like we did in the Netherlands." Van der Fate also saw that Mark seemed a little nervous, so he also patted Mark's shoulder beside him and said.

"Mark, don't have any burden. You relax your mind in this game. Our goal is to get a point away." After hearing Van der Fate's words, he suddenly thought that it was the first time Mark appeared in such a position. It should be normal for a little nervous, so he also told Mark the bottom line of the team in this game.

Mark felt much more relaxed after hearing everyone's comfort. Mark felt that he shouldn't be nervous in this game, because the one who was anxious should be his opponent Mallorca. Mallorca should have fallen to the bottom. They should be more eager to win the game than Atletico Madrid.

As for what kind of tactical style Mallorca will use on the stadium, it depends on the tactical arrangement of the head coach on the other side of Mallorca. This has nothing to do with the players and coaches of Atletico Madrid.

Players from both sides soon appeared on the stadium, and the Mallorca team in this game was indeed stimulated to a certain extent. They actually played a 442-2 lineup in this game, which is a typical offensive formation.

It seems that Mallorca's head coach Ferro should be preparing to make a gambling. He wants to attack Atletico Madrid at home.

Atletico Madrid seemed to have expected Mallorca to give it a try like this, and they still arranged their fixed formation, four or five-year double-back low-rise formation.

This game is not only a contest between players on the court, but also a contest between the head coaches of both sides. Cooper had a successful transformation of Mallorca before, and Cooper also left a tactic for Mallorca that was very suitable for them, that is, the defensive counterattack tactic of 532.

But all the things left by Cooper were changed by Ferro. Ferro insisted on sticking to his April-51 tactical style, and was also punished.
