246 Be Smart

"Look at him, you must never let him grab the football." Renner shouted to his teammates: "Look at their number ten"

It is obvious that Reiner attaches great importance to Mark, and he even attaches more importance to Mark than Torres, which can also show Mark's ability to compete for headers.

An excellent goalkeeper can often tell which player is more threatening. This is all due to the goalkeeper's experience. It is obvious that Reiner thinks Mark's bounce ability and header are better than Torres.

In addition, since Mark was a central defender in this game, he was very good at targeted players to defend him during corner kicks, which caused no one to defend against Mark.

"Hey, is it you who defended me? This time it seems that my chance has come." Mark saw that the player who defended him was Jose Mari. Mark didn't think Jose Mari had any strong defensive ability.

Although Jose Mari is 1.84 meters tall, Mark thinks that Jose Mari's heading ability should be a little different from his foot skills. Mark doesn't think Jose Mari can defend his heading.

Mark knew that his chance should come this time, and Lopez also raised his two fingers. This is the No. 2 tactic. Only Atletico Madrid players know what it means.

In fact, Jose Mali is also helpless in defending Mark, because the striker is usually defending the opponent's central defender. That is because the forwards are generally very tall, and at least they do not suffer in height when defending high-altitude balls.

However, although he did not suffer in defensive height, it was hard to say about defensive actions. After the referee blew the kick-off whistle, Lopez took a corner kick.

Mark ran directly outside the penalty area before Lopez took the corner kick, and then Jose Mali also followed Mark to run outside the penalty area line.

But after Mark drove the ball, he suddenly turned around and ran into the penalty area, then jumped up and prepared to head the ball.

It turned out that Mark was just a fake move when he ran out of the penalty area. What Mark had to do was to get rid of Jose Mali who was defending him.

Jose Mari was also fooled and ran out directly with Mark. Then when Mark turned around and ran into the penalty area, when Jose Mari wanted to chase Mark again, he was already powerless.

Because Mark's explosive power and speed are much faster than Jose Mali. Although Jose Mali is not old, his physical condition is also facing a downward trend, so he can no longer keep up with the young Mark.

"Mark jumped up. Mark jumped so high. Mark's jumping power is amazing," said the commentator of Atletico Madrid in praise.

However, although he praised Mark, his words did tell the truth. Mark's bounce was indeed the best among all the players on the field.

Although Mark is not the tallest player, he has surpassed all the players after jumping up. Mark flew directly and pushed his forehead to the football, which flew directly towards the Villarreal goal.

At this time, Reina quickly responded like a god. Reina's reaction was very fast, otherwise he would not have saved so many penalty kicks.

This time, Mark's header was very close to the goal, but the angle was not tricky, but the angle was very straight, so Reina had a chance.

Reiner directly held the football with one hand. Although the distance was relatively positive, he had to have the super strong reaction nerve of the goalkeeper, and Reiner made a world-class save.

"This is too perverted." Mark clearly saw Reiner's save move in the air, and then Mark thought to himself.

"Damn it, Mark's luck is too bad. As of now, Mark has two excellent opportunities but has not brought the team a chance to score," the commentator said regretfully.

Mark did have two chances in this game. This time he headed the ball, and the last time Mark's free kick hit the crossbar.

If Mark is lucky, even if he can seize such an opportunity, he can win at least the chance to equalize the score.

But this time Atletico Madrid's attack was not over. The football was swept by Rener and changed direction, and then bounced to Portillo's feet.

When Portillo saw such a good opportunity, he even showed a charming smile. At this time, Portillo had already thought about the next clear action in his heart.

If this goal can be scored, it would be Portillo's first goal for Atletico Madrid in the league, which would be very meaningful.

Portillo was also very much looking forward to the arrival of the first goal. Portillo's blood was filled with his head at this time, and he directly shot with a shot.

"Oh...!!! Hahahaha!" After Portillo's shot, a huge laugh broke out from the entire Love Song Stadium. This was because Portillo's shot was so close that he actually knocked him away.

Such a mistake is simply a shame for a top scorer. Portilo is not an ordinary cat or dog. He is a talented striker with a record of 700 goals in Real Madrid youth team.

Portillo was able to waste this opportunity to hit the empty goal this time, which was a shame for the forward.

Such a shot is no less than the burden that goalkeepers put on the players' psychological burden. Although the forward can waste opportunities, when Atletico Madrid needs to score, Portillo, as a shooter, can actually knock the ball away, so Portillo himself cannot forgive himself.

After shooting the football away, Portillo knelt directly on the ground and hugged his head with both hands. I guess if there was a gap in the lawn, Portillo would rather get in.

How much he hopes to have a good shot and score. At this time, he seems to be in a vicious circle, that is, Portillo wants to score a goal, but the more anxious he is, the less he cannot seize the opportunity.

You should know that Portillo is not without competition. On the bench behind Portillo, Salva is waiting for the opportunity.

If Portillo could not play so many starting opportunities at Atletico Madrid, even if he returned to Real Madrid, it would be a life of ten thousand years of substitute. Real Madrid would not give him so many opportunities at all.

"Bol, what's wrong? Did the contact lens fall down?" Mark said to him next to Portillo at this time.

"I'm sorry to the team. I didn't even have such a good opportunity just now," Portillo raised his head and said to Mark at this time, and he still knelt on the ground.

"It's okay, it's just bad luck. I believe that as long as you can score the first goal, the goals will come continuously." Mark said to him while helping Portillo up.

In fact, Mark didn't know if this would happen. In fact, this was just a means of Mark comforting Portillo, but it didn't matter whether Mark believed it or not.

What’s important is that Portillo believed, he believed what Mark said, he believed that all this had nothing to do with his ability and condition, it was all about luck. As long as he could score a goal, the next goal would come continuously.

"Mark, thank you. I remember your words. I will definitely seize the next opportunity." Portillo said thankfully to Mark.

"Okay, don't think too much, keep on playing," Mark patted Portillo and said to him.

However, in the next few minutes of the game, although Atletico Madrid still had an advantage in the field, he never scored a goal. After the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid still fell behind with one goal.

Atletico Madrid players also returned to the locker room. Mark saw Cooper's gloomy face on the way back to the locker room. After Mark saw Cooper's expression, Mark knew that Atletico Madrid players should be in trouble during the halftime break.

After Mark saw the expressions on the faces of many Atletico Madrid players, Mark knew that they must have the same feelings as him, otherwise they would not be like dead mothers.

As Mark expected, Cooper also scolded Atletico Madrid players like a storm during the halftime break.

When Cooper's loud scolding, no one of the Atletico Madrid players spoke out because no one wanted to die. If he spoke differently when Cooper's anger was in full swing, he would definitely be destroyed by Cooper's more severe language.

"Okay, let me talk about the tactical arrangements for the second half next time." Cooper said to the players after venting: "In the second half, we must use two crosses from the wing to compete for high-altitude ball opportunities, and at the same time, we must try to shoot as many long shots as possible in the middle."

"Paltillo, you left the game in the second half, Salva, we are mainly fighting for the header in the penalty area." Cooper made the first tactical adjustment.

This adjustment was because Cooper felt that Portillo's performance in the first half would not satisfy him, so he felt that he had to make a substitution adjustment.

This is also a tactical adjustment, because in the second half of Atletico Madrid is going to compete for high altitude ball, so Portillo is not his advantage in competing for high altitude ball.

Salva is different. Salva is known as Morientes' second, which can prove Salva's heading ability, because Morientes was famous for his strong body and excellent heading at Real Madrid.

So it would be understandable that Portillo would be replaced in this game. If Atletico Madrid had not been behind in the score, Cooper might not have made such a substitution.

"Yepes, you replace Corsa in the second half, your position is the left forward, Mark, you go to the right forward in the second half." Cooper continued to make substitution adjustments.

He sent Glenshare on the court, and then allowed Glenshare and Mark to appear on two sides of Atletico Madrid respectively.

This greatly enhances Atletico Madrid's offensive and defensive capabilities on the wing, and these two wings also have the opportunity to cross and shoot.

This can greatly provide Torres and Salva ahead, and Atletico Madrid's formation has also become an attacking formation of 442.

Cooper can also be said to have made up his mind. He made two substitutions during the halftime break. If Cooper's set does not work, Cooper will only have the last chance to substitution.

And Cooper is actually a gambling, because although Atletico Madrid's formation looks good, there are also loopholes, and the loophole is the defensive ability in the backcourt. If Jose Mali and Fran both run into the penalty area, Villarreal will be two forwards, and Atletico Madrid's central defender can defend these two forwards is also a problem.

But Cooper didn't have time to think about this anymore. Anyway, Cooper had played his cards and Cooper had done everything he could do. If the players on the court perform, it depends on the players themselves.

"We must focus, I don't want our team to make that inattention problem in the second half," Cooper said at the end.

This was obviously said to Martin, because in the first half, Martin was not focused and made many mistakes of losing his hands. If it weren't for his luck, Atletico Madrid wouldn't have the same score at this time.

Although Cooper wanted to replace Martin with the court, Cooper felt that the third goalkeeper was not as good as Martin, and he could not waste a valuable substitution just because of Martin's mistake.

"Although this game has nothing to do with the title, it is a good opportunity to prove whether we are a strong team or not, and it is also a chance to prove whether you are a superstar. It depends on your next one," Cooper said after patting the shoulders of these players.

"Madrid, you must win, you must win..." The players of Atletico Madrid put their hands together, then shouted and rushed out of the player's channel.

After the second half, Villarreal did not make substitution adjustments. Perhaps their head coach Pellegrini felt that the players' performance in the first half still satisfies him.

So he doesn't need to make substitution adjustments. Everything is to adapt to changes in the same way. This may be Pellegrini's tactical style.

He doesn't like to make more changes in tactics. He hopes that the players can communicate more and communicate more on the court. In fact, there are the most important things, that is, there are players like Riquelme on the court.

Pellegrini doesn't have to make any changes at all, just all players need to cooperate with Riquelme in playing football.

As for other matters, there is no need to consider. Riquelme will help him solve all problems. Pellegrini also believes that Riquelme has such strength.

After the second half of the game began, Atletico Madrid first relied on two wings to make a fuss, and Cooper's transformation to the wings during the halftime break really worked.

Glencier successfully suppressed Jose Mali's offense. Glencier was mainly because he was faster than Jose Mali, so he had advantages in both offense and defense. With Lopez helping him, Glencier seemed even more at ease.

Another point is that Atletico Madrid had five defenders in the first half, but often had one player on the wing, while Cooper made a change in the second half. Atletico Madrid had two players on the wing.

This is very beneficial in both defense and offense. The same thing also happens on Atletico Madrid's right side. Unlike the left side, on Atletico Madrid's right side, Mark is basically attacking alone.

At the beginning of the second half, Mark used his extremely powerful speed and superman-like physical condition to hit the Villarreal team defended by Thorin.

Although Thorin and Aru Abarena tried their best to control the left defense, Mark's frequent interlude and running also gave these two people a headache.

Thorin finally felt the feeling of Velasco in the first half. In the first half, he proudly broke through Velasco's defense, and then continued to use his speed to attack Velasco.

But at this time, Mark brought Thorin a stronger impact. Thorin felt a little tired at the first ten minutes of the game. This was because Thorin had almost no chance to stop and he was running all the time.

Even if Thorin is physically strong, he can't stand Mark's invincible youth.

In the tenth minute of the second half, Atletico Madrid attacked and Glencier scored a ball on the wing, but this time Glencier's pass was obviously a bit big.

The football flew directly out of the penalty area and then flew to the right. At this time, Aru Abarena made a fool of himself. He did not directly destroy the football, but was ready to give the football out of the baseline. In this way, Villarreal would get a chance to get the goal.

However, his cleverness this time brought a crisis to Villarreal. When Aru Abarena protected the football with her body, Mark also ran from behind. Moreover, Mark's movements were very fast. He hooked directly behind Aru Abarena and then hooked the football out.

Then Mark leaned against Aru Abarena, and Mark did not foul. This time it should be an excellent opportunity for Atletico Madrid. How should Mark deal with it? Will Aru Abarena's petty eyes be punished?
