200 star fans
Mark saw that there were not many fans cheering for Mallorca in the entire stands, and about 10,000 fans came to watch the game.
This may also be closely related to Mallorca's recent results. Mallorca's sluggish results have also caused fans to make such protests.
This is also something that ordinary fans will do, because they are not satisfied with the team's performance and will not go to watch the game on the spot. This way they protest the team's performance.
However, if Mallorca's final relegation this season, there will probably be very few fans who come to cheer at home.
However, although there are few fans in Mallorca, their cheering is not bad. These fans should be the most loyal fans of Mallorca. They use their performance to cheer for the team at home in the most difficult situations of the team. In fact, this is already very rare.
However, every club will have such fans, and even the smallest club will have their loyal fans.
Mark could also feel a hint of fanatic atmosphere at the home court of Mallorca. Although the atmosphere was not strong, Mark really felt that these fans were very cute and could support the team without hesitation.
After the players entered the court, applause and shouts from the players rang out in the stands. This voice should be given to the current Atletico Madrid head coach Cooper, because Cooper brought beautiful memories to the fans of Mallorca.
Cooper can be said to be one of the most successful head coaches of the Mallorca team, and Mallorca fans also understand why Cooper left at the beginning, because Mallorca is a small temple after all, and it is understandable for a head coach like Cooper to find better opportunities.
Cooper also applauded one of the enthusiastic fans on the coaching table. Cooper's eyes were even a little wet, because he thought of many things. The enthusiasm of Mallorca fans evoked Cooper's good memories.
"It's really a warm scene. I wonder if I can get treated like this when I return to Ajax." Mark couldn't help but think in his heart when he saw what Mallorca fans did.
However, such a thing should be difficult to discover in Ajax, because Mallorca is a team that has always been a hard-working team, and Ajax has always been a giant team in the Eredivisie and the champion team. Mark did not lead Ajax to make any breakthroughs.
In addition, although Mark performed extremely well with Ajax, Mark only played for Ajax for half a season. Even if fans like Mark, the time was too short.
Soon the game started after the referee's whistle sounded. Atletico Madrid kicked off first, Mark and Van der Fate drove the ball to the back after kicking off in the middle circle, and then Mark ran forward.
Then Atletico Madrid's midfield began to fall. Atletico Madrid's midfield passed the football to the frontcourt with three passes and two passes. Then Atletico Madrid's right forward Jorge passed the ball on the wing, and the football quickly passed it to Mallorca's penalty area. Mark was next to him by Italian player Yuliano. Yuliano was once known as one of the best central defenders in the world and a representative figure of Italian defensive football. He played for Juventus for many years, but after joining Mallorca this season, he did not play the strength corresponding to his strength.
It should be that Yuliano's physical condition is not suitable for the fast-paced La Liga in La Liga. After all, he is already 31 years old. Although he is not a big deal among central defenders at this age, Yuliano has had many injuries in his career, so Yuliano has not been able to completely get rid of the troubles of injuries this season, and his playing time in Mallorca is not very stable.
Mark easily threw away Yuliano's defense and jumped up to head the ball, but at this time another central defender of Mallorca also jumped up and pushed the ball out of the penalty area before Mark.
When Mark saw the central defender's appearance, he looked very familiar. The name of the central defender immediately flashed into Mark's mind, Nadal.
Miguel Nadal was born in Manacor of Mallorca. Nadal made his debut in the Spanish top league with Mallorca, appearing at Camp Nou against Barcelona on April 19, 1987. In the latter two seasons of Mallorca, he scored 12 goals in 72 league games, and was introduced by the Catalan team in the 1991-1992 season.
At Barcelona, Nadal played in the five major leagues as a very important player, winning two cup championships, and in the 1992 European Cup, he has been an indispensable member of the defender and midfield defender in more than 300 games. However, in the final season, he was thrown into the cold palace by head coach Van Gaal, and he only appeared in two games. In the 1996-1997 season, he was prepared to transfer to Manchester United, but later failed.
Nadal then returned to Mallorca and began to recover. In the first three seasons, he missed only 11 games and won the King's Cup in 2003.
However, due to his age, Nadal's physical condition has declined very quickly. He can only serve as a scavenger as a target for protecting the team in the penalty area, and cannot be the kind of targeting the central defender.
"Come on, uncle" Someone was shouting loudly in the stands for Nadal's clearing ball just now.
This person is the talented player in the Spanish tennis world today. He is known as Natto's Rafael Nadal, and is also the nephew of Miguel Nadal who plays football on the court.
Rafael Nadal personally came to Mallorca's home court to cheer for his uncle. Rafael Nadal himself is an avid fan. The sports he participated in during his youth were tennis and football. It was just that Nadal's other uncle Tony Nadal's warning that today's Natto chose tennis as his career.
This is also because an athlete's experience is limited after all, and for Nadal, his tennis talent is undoubtedly better than football.
Although Nadal is known as a genius teenager, Nadal was affected by a fractured left ankle this year and was forced to give up almost the entire clay season, including the French Open, which later made him shine. Until he returned to participate in the Polish Sopot Tennis Championship in August, he passed the hurried all the way and won his first AtP Tour championship in his career. In December, Nadal defeated American good player Andy Roddick in the Davis Cup final, helping Spain win the championship, and became the youngest singles player in the Davis Cup final at the age of 18 and six months.
Nadal came to watch the game this time as a relaxation after the Davis Cup. In addition, he was to watch his uncle's performance on the court. Nadal was also a star fan of Mallorca's home court.
Although he does not come here to watch football from time to time, he must not ignore his love for Mallorca, his hometown team. Although Nadal's favorite team is Real Madrid, if Mallorca has any difficulties, Nadal should generously donate within his ability.
This should be the kind of love for the hometown team. Mark can do this, but because of the environment of Tianchao football, Mark is also deterred from helping the hometown team.
"Uncle Tony, Uncle Miguel seems to be in good condition. We should have a great chance in this game," Raphael said to Tony beside him.
"Yes, but after all, the game has just begun. It seems that this game should be a very difficult game." Nadal's uncle Tony was not as optimistic as Nadal. Although he was not a football player, he was a tennis player when he was young, and after retirement, he also focused on knowing that his nephew was doing tennis training, but this does not mean that Tony does not understand football. On the contrary, he is also a very fanatical fan.
Football is definitely the largest sport in Spain, and other sports have to stand aside. Even Spanish bullfighting games have absolutely no popularity of football, because the number of bullfighters is definitely a small number.
Football players are very common in Spain, which also reflects the popularity of Spain's football market.
"Yes, the mightyness remains the same as before," Mark said to Miguel Nadal after he cleared the siege.
Old Nadal was also incompetent in this game and prepared to teach Torres a lesson, but he didn't expect Torres would sit on the bench in this game, so Nadal put all his experience in this game on Mark, which was also his desire to prove to his nephew and brother that he was not old.
Nadal is preparing to play for Mallorca for a few more years because he feels that his physical condition still allows him to fight on the La Liga field.
"Boy, I'm not old. Don't treat me as an old man." Nadal said to Mark with great domineeringness.
While the two were talking here, Mallorca midfielder Melo received a header from Nadal and then drove forward, but he did not lead the ball far and directly passed the ball to their forward Romeo.
Romeo is a very practical Argentine striker. He is a typical opportunist. He is good at grabbing points and shooting. Romeo has a strong ability to seize opportunities in the opponent's penalty area. His excellent sense of grabbing points often allows him to get shot opportunities before the opponent's defenders. His weak point is his weakness.
After the football passed in front of Romeo, Atletico Madrid's central defender Perea jumped up and headed the ball to clear the ball, destroying Mallorca's offensive opportunity this time. This time Perea's clearance was just right. Romeo, the two forwards of Mallorca's team in this game, and Luis Garcia were both taken care of by Cooper before the game.
Although Mallorca's two strikers scored not many goals in previous games, they also have certain strength. Romeo was loaned from Germany's Hamburg Club this season. Romeo had a very exciting shot in the Bundesliga.
As an Argentine head coach, Cooper naturally would not ignore his compatriots. Cooper knew that there were many players in Argentine who had no star position at all and could not even become a superstar.
Cooper can be said to be the most in-depth head coach of Mallorca. This is entirely because Mallorca had contacted Cooper in private, and Cooper was also very interested in joining Mallorca to become a rescue coach.
Since Cooper is interested in Mallorca, he naturally needs to do some research and study the tactical style of Mallorca, and then after he takes over the future, he will make targeted arrangements.
Cooper's research can also be said to have helped him. Although Cooper told the players to be very careful in this game, he is still full of confidence in being able to defeat Mallorca.
At least Cooper felt that it was certain that he would not lose in this game. Both Mallorca's forwards were players with weak ability to take the ball. As long as someone pressed them tightly, the power of Mallorca's two Mallorca's forwards would also be minimized.
Although Cooper was considering that Mallorca would line up a single forward formation before the game started, it was also something that Cooper was prepared for Mallorca to play a double forward.
Cooper is a well-known head coach after all, and he cannot only make one tactical preparation. Moreover, the starting lineup of the game was announced three hours before the start of the game, so Cooper also made preparations.
Cooper still hopes that Mallorca can play against Atletico Madrid, because only in this way can Atletico Madrid's counterattack be more effective, and it will be more meaningful for Cooper to send Mark.
Because Mark's speed is his advantage, only by giving Mark the right space to counterattack can Mark's maximum counterattack energy be used, so Cooper was not sure how happy he was about Mallorca's tactical arrangement.
"The strikers are too weak, their physical condition is too poor," Rafael Nadal said with regret about the opportunity just now.
At this time, he thought of his favorite forwards, Ronaldo, Raul and others, but it is obvious that this is unrealistic. Even if Mallorca has a striker of this level, the club can't keep it. It's like Etoo was poached by Barcelona.
"There is still a chance in a while, there is no problem with one or two defeats." Tony Nadal comforted his nephew.
Tony felt that his nephew was still very young after all, and was more prone to impatient. This was also easy to see on the tennis court. If Raphael could get rid of his impatient habits, his future would be unlimited.
The players of both sides were working together in tactical cooperation. Atletico Madrid firmly used double midfielders to control the midfield. Atletico Madrid did not invest too much force in the offense. Cooper was playing psychological warfare with Mallorca's head coach, because only if the opponent was anxious, Atletico Madrid could get the opportunity.
But the opportunity soon appeared, but it was not an offensive opportunity for Atletico Madrid, but an excellent opportunity for Mallorca to score.
The Spanish left winger who was loaned to Mallorca from Valencia in the tenth minute asked Glopez to break through Jorge's defense on the left.
"My!" Baboro shouted, and he jumped high, and it seemed that he had certain relief.
However, the ball suddenly turned into a strange arc in front of the goal. The ball passed by Barboro and landed directly in front of the opponent's forward Luis. Raul Garcia was also shook by Barboro. He was obviously not fully prepared for the arrival of such an opportunity.
Luis Garcia has always been a tragic figure. He was born in the youth training system of the Spanish star club Real Madrid team. Real Madrid youth training camp, also known as realmadridcastilla, is also Real Madrid B team. However, like most Castilla players, Luis Garcia did not get a first-team appearance in Real Madrid and was eliminated, and then left Mallorca.
This is also related to Real Madrid's superstar policy. Many powerful stars are forced to leave the team because of Florentino's superstar policy.
But to be honest, Real Madrid's youth training system is indeed good. There are also many young players trained in their youth training teams. These players are not without strength, but the board of directors of Real Madrid lacks confidence in these players. Therefore, after Real Madrid cannot be selected as the first team, these players can only choose to transfer.
However, these players have many practical players, and have become the first choice for small and medium-sized clubs in La Liga, and Luis Garcia is one of them.
"God, Baboro is over! Luis Garcia stops the ball, and he doesn't interfere with him, and he shoots hard!"
All the Mallorca fans seemed extremely excited. They were waiting for the moment when the football entered the net and shouted goal!!! But it was obvious that Louis Garcia disappointed them. He was obviously not prepared for such a good opportunity and just a hasty shot.
"Stop! Franco flew to save and directly blocked the football from the baseline. Franco showed the sharp response of the South American goalkeeper in front of the goal. Most of the goalkeepers in Argentina were very flexible, and Franco was no exception."
"Oh, no, it's so damn. How could I not score in this way?" The tennis star Nadal, who was in the stands, was also excited and shouted with his head in his arms.
It was also very regretful to see his expression. He was ready to cheer just now, but he didn't expect that this close-range shot would be boring, which made Nadal's preparatory shouting just now swallow his stomach.
This is indeed depressing, as if someone suddenly poured a basin of cold water, so Nadal rarely watches Mallorca's game. Because Mallorca's team is not strong, Nadal, who is very competitive, can't find common ground at all. If he hadn't cheered for his uncle, Nadal wouldn't have come to see Mallorca's game. I don't know how comfortable it would be to watch Real Madrid's game than Mallorca.
