Chapter 224: Impatient Portillo

Mark also fell into depression after the opening, because Mark was proud of his speed advantage, and there was no room for exertion. In the Getafe team's intensive defense formation, Mark seemed a little powerless. Mark's biggest advantage was the speed of sprinting.

Although Mark was able to pass Galiado, Nano behind Galiado always interfered with Mark's body after breaking through. This kind of interference process also made Mark feel very uncomfortable.

Because Flores had specially studied Mark's technical characteristics before the game, he found that Mark's breakthrough was mainly due to his strong speed, and Mark had almost no extraordinary skills in other ways.

This shows that Mark's personal ability is a very bad thing. Mark has almost no skill with extraordinary skills. This is why Flores adopted such a tactic in this game.

It was obvious that Getafe's tactics were successful in the twenty minutes of the first half. Mark did not exert his power under the interference of the opponent's players.

The super winger Mark, who had once had a gamble with Robert Carlos, disappeared all of a sudden, which surprised the media who were following this game.

Originally, these media thought that if Mark could perform so well in the last round of the league, he should have a leaps and bounds in the next game.

After all, he has played against the best left-back in La Liga and defeated the best left-back in La Liga, and Mark has proved his strength.

What was unexpected was that Mark completely lost himself in this game against a relegation team like Getafe, which was very surprising.

In fact, not most of them were surprised. At least Getafe's head coach was very confident in this game that Mark would be defended by them.

If he, as the head coach, did not believe that his players could defend Mark, then the other players would naturally not believe it, and Flores was very satisfied at this time.

After all, Flores comes from a coach from Real Madrid. He feels that the head coach at Real Madrid can't do anything, but he does it, which should be a proof.

That is to prove his personal ability. Although Flores is a representative of young La Liga coaches, no big-name club has sent him invitations.

Without coaching in a big club, it is definitely a question of his coaching ability, because any world-class head coach can conquer everyone's attention by coaching in a big club.

"Look at who is better between us. Defending Mark is just a gift to you." Flores looked at Atletico Madrid's head coach Cooper.

He knew very well that Cooper had achieved success in Mallorca, and then joined Valencia and was noticed. Flores also wanted to use Getafe as a springboard to join a team with competitive ability to win the championship.

"What's wrong with Mark? Do you want to help?" Van der Fate asked Mark during a sideline ball.

"I really encountered a ghost today. I would defend so closely. Are you going to die? I won't surpass you," Mark muttered.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is time. As long as we can stick to the style of play, we will definitely win the game. If they strictly guard the wing, they will definitely expose some loopholes in the middle, and then our chance will come." Van der Fate said comfortingly to Mark.

Mark felt that what Van der Fat said was indeed very reasonable. Mark originally wanted to attack the edge, but because there were no other offensive players on Atletico Madrid's right side. If Mark moved towards the middle, then the attack on Atletico Madrid's right side would be in a passive state.

"Mark, cooperate more with the forwards, so that the forwards can open up the gaps with multiple sets of side-to-side efforts." Cooper also found an opportunity to guide Mark. Cooper also made adjustments to the formation, because after all, it is the first time Atletico Madrid played such a formation this season, and it is normal for players to be unaccommodated. Cooper just needs to reduce this formation routine to allow players to integrate it, which is also what the head coach needs to do.

Mark nodded to show his understanding and conveyed the coach's words to his teammates. Soon Atletico Madrid's offensive formation changed. When Mark got the ball to attack on the right, Atletico Madrid forward Torres quickly pulled down the right to help Mark attack.

With Torres' assistance, Mark naturally had much less pressure on the offense than before, and Mark was able to calmly cross the bottom.

In the 25th minute, Mark got the ball from the side and then dribbled the ball. Soon Getafe's players came up to interfere with Mark. This time, Mark passed the football to Torres who was pulling the side and continued to run towards the bottom line.

Next to Mark, there is the left-back Nano who guards Mark with Getafe. Nano is pressing against Mark with his body at this time. He knows Mark's advantage in speed. If Mark really rushes, he will definitely not be Mark's opponent, so he leans against Mark with his body so that Mark can not fully rush. This is also a trick Nano played when defending.

But Mark obviously also made sufficient preparations for Nano's defense. At this time, Mark turned outside and quickly bypassed Nano's defense.

At this time, Torres' passing also came. Torres's skill is very outstanding. He is a particularly all-round striker, so Torres' passing ability is also very good, and he is a modern center.

Torres passed a high ball, and passed the ball over the top and directly tore off Getafe's defense on the wing. At this time, Mark was fighting desperately with Nano for position, because at this time, although Mark had an advantage in speed, Nano kept using small movements behind Mark, and such interference also made Mark very uncomfortable.

In fact, Nano's interference to Mark should be strictly a foul action, but because Nano's movements are relatively hidden, the referee will not call him a foul under normal circumstances.

The two of them were entangled for a short time. The football quickly bounced on the ground and then flew towards the sideline. Will the football go out of bounds?

"Nano did a good job, defend him, and you can't let him break through you easily. You must defend him well, that's it." The fans at the scene shouted loudly. Nano's successful defense against Mark had also brought them great confidence in the previous few times. The fans of Getafe team believe that Nano will definitely successfully defend Mark this time.

"Mark, let's free your abilities. I believe in your speed advantage. You will definitely be able to score this time." After Torres passed the ball, he also ran into the penalty area because he fully believed that Mark could receive his football this time.

Although the pass this time seems to be a bit big, this is also based on people's opinion. Because Mark is not an ordinary player, Mark's impact is still very strong. Although Mark does not outperform, he seems to have shown all his abilities to his speed.

Mark did not disappoint Torres' expectations this time. Mark quickly got the football. Mark, who got the football, looked up and looked in the penalty area. There were also heavy troops defending in Getafe's penalty area.

But Mark still decided to pass the ball because Nano had already caught up with Mark at this time. Although Mark had thrown away Nano, the distance between the two was not very far. After Nano was squeezed behind by Mark, he was also pushing Mark with his hands. He wanted Mark to lose his center of gravity, and even if he passed the ball, he would not allow Mark to wear it well.

But even if Nano interfered with him behind Mark, Mark was not disturbed by him, because Mark was very fast. Mark had already passed the football into the penalty area before Nano interfered with him.

In the penalty area, Atletico Madrid's forward Portillo is competing for the top. Another striker Torres is running into the penalty area because he has just cooperated with Mark in the penalty area, but his position is not very good, and Mark's pass this time is not for Torres.

The landing point of Mark's pass this time was to find his teammate Portillo. Mark believed that Portillo should be able to receive his pass, which was also because of Mark's confidence in Portillo during training.

Because Portillo showed very good condition on the training ground, he should be the kind of very spiritual striker, and his ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is also very good.

You should know that Portillo scored 700 goals in Real Madrid's youth team before, becoming the Spanish youth team record so far.

The previous record was maintained by Raul, and Portillo broke such a record of his predecessors. It can also be said that he has great potential, so people like to call him Raul Little.

In other words, I hope he can represent Real Madrid like Raul and then lead the entire La Liga forward line, but unfortunately Portillo's career has not been as smooth as his youth team.

However, although Portillo did not make any achievements in Real Madrid, he won many championships. Javier Garcia Portillo was recognized by fans in a UEFA Champions League match on February 25, 2003. At that time, he scored a goal in the 90th minute of the game, helping Real Madrid tie Dortmund. Although he is very young, Javier Garcia Portillo already has important championship titles such as the UEFA Champions League, La Liga, Toyota Cup, Spanish Super Cup and European Super Cup.

However, such a championship title was not obtained by Portillo through his efforts on the stadium. Portillo appeared more as a substitute in Real Madrid's lineup, and those who fought on the stadium were always those superstars, not as a young Real Madrid star.

So Portillo came to Atletico Madrid to show his strength, because he didn't want to be a substitute all the time. Although he played for Atletico Madrid, he did not leave the city of Madrid.

This is because Portillo also thought that the reason why he couldn't play well before was entirely because of the lineup of Real Madrid's team. His condition was obviously not a problem, and he was very happy in the city of Madrid.

Portillo wants to use his actual actions to tell Real Madrid's strength. Although he cannot play on the court to represent Atletico Madrid, if he scores a goal in the match against Real Madrid's younger brother Getafe, it can prove his strong strength.

Mark's passing angle is very good, the football ball is very fast and the angle is very tricky. In addition, the central defender Albiol, who had defended Portillo before, was not very fast.

Mark's pass was a half-high ball. If Portillo could reach this ball, it would be a sure goal. However, although Albiol's speed was not fast, Albiol was better than Portillo in terms of height and physical fitness.

When the two of them competed for the header together, Albiol had the advantage, and such an advantage was not something Portillo could make up for now.

In fact, as a forward player, Portillo's template is Raul, and he is also imitating Raul all the time. For a flexible forward like Portillo, he prefers ground-rolling balls, not the kind of high balls.

Although Portillo can also compete for a header and score, he still suffers a little from the strong central defender's confrontation.

This time, Portillo saw Mark's pass, showed his agile ability to capture fighter jets in front of the goal. This time he jumped up at the same time with Albiol, and the two of them also hit the football together. However, after Portillo hit the football, he did not grasp the angle of the header and directly hit the football on Albiol. At the same time, his body also hit Albiol. Albiol's body became stronger. He directly knocked Portillo away and then pushed the football out of the penalty area.

Van der Fate, who was outside the penalty area, also got the football, and then Van der Fate directly shot from a long shot, and the football flew out of the baseline through the horizontal exercise.

"Damn, he's too strong" Portillo thought to himself after being hit by Albiol.

At the same time, Portillo was also making gestures to Mark, thanking Mark for his pass just now, because Mark's passing just now was of very good quality, Portillo did not seize this opportunity, and then wasted such an opportunity.

Portillo felt that his luck was really bad at this time. This header could hit the opponent's defender, which was very depressing for a forward player.

Portillo is also a very smart player. He knows it is very difficult to get a shot against Getafe's intensive defense.

The way to break Getafe's intensive defense is to score. Only in this way can Atletico Madrid occupy a good situation on the field.

If Atletico Madrid takes the lead, everything next will be easy enough, but he easily wastes an opportunity and feels very depressed.

"Damn it!!" Cooper also jumped up on the chair. He just saw Mark's pass and felt it was perfect, and Portillo's running was just right. The only regret was that he did not hit the football into the opponent's goal.

Although Cooper did not have high requirements for this game, he felt that being able to win this game would be a victory, but as a head coach, no one does not want to win the game.

Even as a most conservative coach, Benitez, known as the Turtle Shell, hopes to win the game, but the coaches have different expectations for winning the game. Some head coaches think that the way to win the game is offense, while some head coaches think that winning the game is to stabilize defense and then attack.

"It's okay, let's continue to work hard and strive for another attack next time," Mark shouted at Portillo with a slap.

At the same time, Mark was also encouraging the morale of his teammates, and captain Torres also ran over to pat Portillo and said, "It's okay, we still have a chance. We'll just join them later. Don't worry, this is your first league game after joining the team."

After seeing Torres' encouragement to him, Portillo nodded gratefully. At this time, he felt that Torres overlapped with the previous captain Raul, the captain of their team.

Portillo was also encouraged by Raul before, and it was Raul who made Portillo determined to join Atletico Madrid on loan.

Torres at Atletico Madrid has also cheered Portillo up a lot, so Portillo also developed a certain favorable impression on these Atletico Madrid players.

He felt that the players of Atletico Madrid were not as difficult to contact as others had said before, and the players here were still very easy to get along with.

Portillo's problem at this time was that he was too impatient. He had also shot in a hurry in the previous few shots. He did not cooperate with his teammates. Although Torres did not complain about his forward partner, his overly impatient mood was also unfavorable for Atletico Madrid.

If forward players do not cooperate, it will be really bad, because football requires cooperation to gain greater power. I am afraid that any forward in the world needs that kind of cooperative partner to exert his greater power.
