327 Unstoppable
Updated: 2012-08-26
After Mark scored, Mark raised three fingers again. Everyone was surprised by Mark's behavior. After all, Mark stretched out three fingers in the last round of the league, and then scored three goals directly.
"What is Mark going to do? Is this his goal declaration for this game? Is he going to make a continuous hat trick? It's too amazing," even the commentator of Atletico Madrid shouted in surprise.
"Damn, Mark, are you crazy? Are you planning to wear a hat in this game?" Portillo, who came up to celebrate at this time, asked Mark in surprise.
"Yes, is there anything wrong with it? I'm still very confident in this game," Mark said indifferently, as if it was a very easy thing to do.
However, such a thing may be difficult for others, but it is really possible for Mark to do it, because Mark has a keen sense of smell like a beast in front of the door.
Mark is always able to appear on the route to fly in advance. If Mark can seize several opportunities during the defensive counterattack, even Super Laco's defense line cannot stop Mark.
Moreover, La Coruña has another big problem, that is, their offense is strong and defense is weak. Of course, it cannot be said that they are very weak, because La Coruña is a team mainly engaged in ball control. The ball-controlled team must control the football under their own feet and then not give the opponent a chance to get the ball.
If the opponent has no chance to get the ball, the number of attacks will naturally be less. This is a football concept of ball control.
However, if this football philosophy was in the past, it would naturally be fine if it died. However, the problem is that the players in La Coruna were a little older at this time. Such players may not have any technical problems, but there have been great physical problems.
When Atletico Madrid counterattacked just now, Mark stole Sergio's ball from the backcourt and then before Mark passed the ball to Van der Fate.
There is no midfielder in front of Van der Fate to intercept. You should know that Van der Fate is a front-middle player, and the midfielder wants to defend the opponent's front-middle player. This does not mean that the two midfielders of the Coruna team do not want to intercept Van der Fate.
Instead, they were not fast and were unable to catch up with Van der Fate, which led to Van der Fate being able to dribble as he pleased and assist Portillo in the shooting.
If Portillo hadn't had a bad shot in the last goal, it would have been a very classic defensive counterattack after a midfield counterattack. Fortunately, Mark's reaction was smart and he was able to score the football, and he would not have wasted such a good opportunity as Atletico Madrid.
Iruetta seemed very helpless when facing Mark's goal. Atletico Madrid's counterattack was only two passes, which could be said to be very fast. The players under his command were old, small, and there were very few players in the Middle Age, especially in the midfield. Therefore, although Iruetta was known for his resourcefulness at this time.
But he also has no choice but to do with the current old La Coruna team. Iruetta actually applied to the club to buy players before the start of this season.
However, Irueta's request was also rejected by the club. After the club rejected Irueta's suggestion of signing, Irueta also asked the team to lead the team to the championship. Irueta knew that he would definitely become a scapegoat for the team's unfavorable performance. In fact, Irueta also knew that after the end of this season, in order to deal with the angry fans, his dismissal was inevitable. Irueta just wanted to stand in the last shift as the head coach of the La Coruna team.
Mark's goal completely made Iruetta give up the idea of defending. Anyway, he lost the game, so he just made his disciples play more openly and more beautifully.
In fact, La Coruna is also a typical team with a nerve knife. When they are in good condition, they can directly play four of Milan, and if they are in bad condition, they can lose four of Milan.
Nervous Knife striker Pandyani did not appear in the starting list. Let's see if Tristan can prove his worth.
In the 200304 season, Tristan was a celebrity in the transfer market. Many clubs once liked the Spanish striker, but because of the transfer fee, Tristan did not leave the team.
Unexpectedly, after just one year, Tristan's condition plummeted. It is estimated that the board of directors of La Coruna must have regretted it at this time. It would be better to sell Tristan directly. If it were sold, it would be exchanged for tens of millions of euros. Now it would not be easy to sell Tristan.
Because Tristan's salary is not low, if it is a transfer, unless it is a giant team, no one will be able to swallow Tristan's high salary.
But these things have nothing to do with Iruetta. Iruetta proved for his coaching philosophy that Iruetta does not believe that his football philosophy can defeat Cooper's football philosophy.
This is also the place where Irueta is persistent. It can be said that Irueta and Cooper are very similar in some aspects. They are both very persistent for their football philosophy, but Irueta is lucky to Cooper. After all, Irueta once won the La Liga championship with Super Laco.
Cooper has never won a championship, but this season is different. Atletico Madrid has reached the final in the League Cup and will face the challenge of CSKA Moscow. Atletico Madrid is also very likely to win the final game.
Of course, it is just a possibility. There is no match that must be won in football matches, and there are also many people who capsize in the gutter.
But in this game, it seems that Atletico Madrid has much greater hope of winning the game, because Cooper is very familiar with the forward combination of Coruña, Tristan and Luke.
Because the players in the past two years have been players who were coaching in Mallorca, Cooper also has some understanding of these two players, of course it is only limited to their understanding of them in Mallorca.
But in fact, this is enough, because although these two players have made some progress after joining La Coruña, the overall progress is not very large. Cooper asked the defensive players to defend based on the technical characteristics of these two players, which is obviously very good.
So far, these two players have not received any good opportunities, and the game continues to go along with the offensive and defensive transitions between the two teams, and it is getting closer and closer to the end of the first half.
However, at this time, La Coruna got a good opportunity. La Coruna got a free kick, and it was this free kick that allowed the midfield passer master Belleron to find an opportunity.
Originally everyone thought he would choose to shoot, but Belleron passed the football to Luke on the left, and then Luke scored directly, and the score was equalized.
It was such a wonderful pass that directly made Atletico Madrid's efforts in the first half silence, and the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half.
The players on both sides walked to the locker room with some reluctance. La Coruna had an advantage in the situation on the court and was unable to use the advantages to transform them into victory, which made these players feel a little unwilling.
Atletico Madrid was also tied the score by them at the last moment, so they were a little unwilling to accept it. Of course, Cooper would not be willing to do it, because Cooper himself is a defensive coach, and he is very dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid's slack in the defense of free kicks.
This is not a question of whether the opponent scores or not, but a question of the attitude of the players. Of course, the first thing that is to be affected is Velasco, who defends Luke. Velasco was scolded by Cooper in the locker room.
At this time, the players of Atletico Madrid should be very clear that Cooper was very dissatisfied with the team's defense in the last moment of the first half, so Cooper also made a series of adjustments to his tactics in the midfield.
Although Velasco made serious mistakes in defense, Cooper did not replace him. In fact, there was no better candidate in Cooper.
Because the right back on the bench is Contra, a player with strong offense and weak defense, Cooper dares not use such a player to play. Contra's style is not what Cooper likes.
So after the second half of the game started, Atletico Madrid's formation did not change much.
La Coruña did not make any substitution adjustments. Both sides still started the second half with the starting lineup. In the second half, Atletico Madrid still had a tactical style of defensive counterattack.
Just five minutes into the second half, Atletico Madrid's midfield intercepted the ball successfully. Mascherano passed the ball to Mark on the right. At this time, Mark faced Capdvilla's defense. Then Mark used his speed to force Capd Future and directly killed towards the bottom line of La Coruna.
Although Capdvilla was eaten by Mark, he did not panic too much. He used a tactical foul to block Mark's forward attack.
Moreover, since Capdvilla made a foul in midfield this time, the referee only warned him once and did not show Capdvilla yellow cards.
Mark seemed a little dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, but Mark was just dissatisfied. Mark complained and said a few words. Mark knew that there was nothing to say with the referee. Anyway, Mark still had a chance next time.
This time, Atletico Madrid won a free kick opportunity, which should be a good opportunity for Atletico Madrid to score. Moreover, because the distance is relatively long, Mark did not take the free kick this time.
Van der Fate was the one who took the free kick this time, and Mark ran into the penalty area to prepare to fight for the header. Atletico Madrid's tall central defender Baboro also ran into the penalty area to prepare to fight for the header.
At this time, Mark was beside Portugal's central defender Andrade defending Mark. The black central defender has a pretty good defensive ability, and Andrade is also the backbone of the defensive team of La Coruña.
The two of them did not have much confrontation before, because Mark often used as a contact point outside the penalty area and rarely was in the penalty area, so Andrade had no way to keep a guard against Mark.
In the few confrontations between the two, Mark used his outstanding prediction ability to score a goal, which was a goal scored by Mark in the first half.
It can be said that Mark is quite confident in Andrade's defense, because Mark knows that Andrade's ability to defend high-altitude balls is not very strong. After Mark scored just now, Mark has strong confidence in confronting Andrade.
However, Andrade is not really useless. He still has certain strength, otherwise he would not be able to hold a solid position in the Portuguese national team.
Andrade has been the backbone of Portugal's defense in recent years. Neither the newly-rise Carvalho nor the previous Mela could shake Andrade's main position.
The current head coach of the Portuguese national team, Scolari, also likes Andrade very much. He plans to let Andrade and Carvalho play as a central defender in the World Cup in 2006.
At this time, Van der Fate directly kicked the inward-turning arc ball, and then drove into the penalty area of La Coruna. At the moment when Van der Fate passed the ball, he thought about running behind, and Mark's running also took Andrade to run behind.
But after Mark saw Andrade running back with him, Mark suddenly turned around and ran forward. Although Andrade also turned around and ran out with Mark at this time, his speed was not as fast as Mark.
So he was still halfway away by Mark. At this time, Mark quickly ran to the front point, and at this time Van der Fate's football also reached the penalty area. Mark jumped up and grabbed the front point and headed the goal.
This time Mark's header was very powerful. Although goalkeeper Molina wanted to make a save at this time, unfortunately the football was far away from him, so he was powerless and could only watch the football fly into the net.
"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mark's header directly broke through the goal of La Coruna, and Atletico Madrid's score was once again ahead.
After Mark scored, he stood there and stretched out three fingers, Mark one step further from his promise.
Andrad, who was thrown away by Mark, also looked regretful. In fact, it was not that Andrad didn't work hard, but that Andrad himself was not a central defender who was good at marking people.
It should be said that Andrade is the kind of central defender who makes up for his teammates. He is not his characteristic of grabbing or something. In the Portuguese game, he basically does not play the role of grabbing.
To be precise, Andrade should be the role of a scavenger, so it is obviously a bit difficult for him to let him keep a mark on Mark, who has excellent explosive power.
Although it is a must-train for centre-backs to mark people, if it is an ordinary player, Andrade will naturally have no problem with his control, but Mark's condition in this game is simply a little better. Andrade has no good way to guard Mark like this.
At this time, the Atletico Madrid players rushed to Mark's side, and they began to celebrate in the penalty area of La Coruna.
"Mark, your condition is simply amazing today, it's invincible," Portillo said to Mark.
"You said a lot, it's invincible," Mark said with a smile.
When other teammates heard Mark's arrogant words, they all smiled knowingly, because Mark really has the right to say such big words, because Mark really said that he was only one goal away from three goals.
Mark's goal also made La Coruna's head coach Iruetta shook his head repeatedly. He had already made careful preparations for this game.
But what he didn't expect was that he ignored Mark, who had been like a god descending to earth recently. Although he also explained his defense against Mark to the players, it was obvious that Mark was not easy for these players to defend.
Although I know Mark's various skills, it is obvious that sometimes I don't know how the opponent is, and I can defend easily. Defending a player is a very passive thing.
"Mark is so great. He has scored two goals on his head and kicked. It seems that it is not far from the game that once again scored a hat trick." The commentator of Atletico Madrid calmed down after shouting the goal, and then praised Mark: "I really want to see how many goals Mark will score after the end of the season. If Mark can perform with such an unstoppable momentum, then the league's top scorer will be suspense in the end."
Not only the commentator was surprised by Mark's recent state, but also the media were surprised. The media who predicted Mark's failure to score before the game also felt a burning pain on their faces.
Mark is going to score another hat trick in this game. Who can stop this state? Andrade's mission on the court should be Andrade. Andrade also thought silently in his heart: "You must not let him score the third goal, and such a shame must not happen to me."
