During the halftime break, the players all returned to the locker room, and Mark continued to be left on the court for warm-up moves.

This is the signal that Ferlando does not intend to send Mark out, because if Ferlando is preparing to let Mark out as a substitute, he will definitely call Mark into the locker room for tactical arrangements.[]

But Ferlando did not do this. It was obvious that Ferlando still stubbornly wanted to hide Mark.

Mark has no choice about Ferlando's approach. After all, Ferlando is the head coach, and he has the final say if he changes his partner or not. Even if Mark is in good condition, he is just a player. As a player, Mark has no way to make tactical arrangements.

Atletico Madrid's current highest commander is Ferlando. Not to mention whether he was in charge of this game, but he definitely has the right to choose the player he thinks he likes to play.

It is obvious that Ferlando doesn't like Mark now, and Ferlando has reached the point of being crazy. He used to like players like Mark very much, but after Mark put forward different opinions, he completely blocked Mark.

No matter how good Mark is in his condition, he just won't send Mark to the court. If it weren't for the last game against Alkmaar, Ferlando might have really put Mark in a ninety-minute game.

"Didn't the head coach value you very much? What do the head coach think now?" Mark did not appear in the starting lineup after the second half. Van der Fate asked in confusion. Van der Fate had wanted to ask several times before, but he didn't ask.

But this time Van der Fate still couldn't help but ask Mark. He knew Mark's ability to bear it. Even if Van der Fate asked Mark such a sharp question, Mark would not be angry.

"You have to ask him himself. It's just that I told the truth and then banned me. Our team can't live in lies, right? I think there's nothing wrong with me telling the truth?" Mark also spread his hands and said helplessly.

Mark is not hiding his own privately now because he really doesn't know what Ferlando's idea is. Mark is not clear about what Ferlando is thinking now, and Mark is not willing to ask now. Anyway, Mark thinks Ferlando has changed, not the approachable head coach before. Ferlando's change makes Mark feel very disgusted.

"I believe that if you can't start this game, you should have a chance to play. Now we are still behind with one goal, and your free kick will definitely have room for play." Van der Fate saw that Mark was a little unhappy, so Van der Fate comforted Mark and said.

"Let's talk about it... The Spanish Bull should be a person who won't compromise so easily. Who knows what he thinks in his heart?" Mark said indifferently.

"What is he doing in this game? Why did he put Mark on the bench again? And then he is not sent to the court yet." Atletico Madrid's head coach Serezo was also watching the game in his office. The club's manager Hill was also watching the game with him.

"I really don't know what he is doing now. Mark saved the team in the end. I really don't know what he is thinking." Hill was also following Cerezo.

Hill and Cerrezzo are an interest group, and their current relationship is much more harmonious than their predecessors, Old Hill and Footre.

That is, when Old Hill served as the club chairman two or three years ago, when Cerezo was the general manager, it was almost time for the two of them to say hello when they met.

However, Cerezo and Hill Jr. will definitely not be like this now. This is because the interests of the two are consistent, that is, use Atletico Madrid to increase their reputation, and then it is best to make money. Although Cerezo is the club chairman, he is only the second largest shareholder, and Hill is the club's largest shareholder. There is no problem with their relationship now.

After all, there are some things that are decided by two people together, which also reduces the existence of some conflicts between the two people. It can be said that the club is now under the control of these two people.

Even the board of directors cannot interfere if these two people decide what they have, because the combined shares of the two people have far exceeded 51%, and they can have complete voice.

"After this game, I think I should talk to Fernando. It's not okay to keep Mark on the bench. Even if we don't need Mark to develop the Asian market, Mark's strength is enough to be the starter. We can't let Fernando do anything like that. He has put Fernando on the bench before." Cerrezo said while watching the TV.

"Leave this to me, I'll talk to him. I think he should know what he is in the team." Hill took this matter into his arms.

"I think so. We asked him to be the head coach, not to come to Atletico Madrid to do something wrong. Don't think it's amazing to lead the team to achieve good results before. If we weren't lucky in the previous game, it wouldn't be sure whether we could win." Cerrezo was very satisfied with Hill's answer, and he also expressed his personal opinion on Ferlando.

Now the two people's attention has returned to the field of the game. Atletico Madrid replaced Van der Fate after the adjustment of the midfield. After Van der Fate came on the field, Atletico Madrid's scene became more beautiful.

However, although Van der Fate's appearance alone brought organizational skills to Atletico Madrid, he had just returned from injury, and Van der Fate was still slowly looking for his own state.

Moreover, there are some technical moves that Van der Fate dare not do too hard now, and Van der Fate's injury has not fully recovered. Now he has only recovered by about 80%. He does not want to drag his body down because of a game.

"Come on Rafael!!" Mark shouted at Van der Fate on the bench. Mark still completed his personal positioning of the game very well. Since Ferlando wanted Mark to be the cheerleader, Mark now just really cheered for his teammates on the bench.

Ferlando also heard Mark's yelling. Originally, Mark cheered for his teammates with kind intention, but when it came to Ferlando's ears, it turned into another meaning. He thought Mark was deliberately clamoring with him.

"I'm so arrogant. Didn't you see that I'm the head coach? You're actually yelling behind me, are you planning to be the head coach?" Ferlando thought to himself.

It turned out that Ferlando thought Mark was shouting on the bench beyond the scope of the players. Ferlando felt that Mark was provoking the authority of the head coach, that is, his own authority.

Ferlando can be said to be really too rich in imagination. Mark is just trying to cheer up his teammates. Since Mark cannot play, Mark hopes to use his actions to help his teammates increase their morale. This may be the only thing Mark can do now.

The second half of the game is still going on. Kovacevic's performance is still very good now. He has also shown his strength as an all-around center. However, because of his age, Kovacevic's current physical condition is naturally not comparable to Kovacevic at his peak.

"This uncle is really brave in this game. He can't tell at all that he is a 31-year-old player." Mark thought silently in his heart after looking at Kovacevic's performance on the court.

In fact, Kovacevic's career has been very bumpy. Neither Lazio nor Juventus were able to get the main position. At that time, when he returned to Real Sociedad by $12 million, he also created the transfer fee probability of Real Sociedad.

Even from the transfer fee, we can see the importance of Real Sociedad Kovacevic, but that is because Kovacevic has played for Real Sociedad before. Otherwise, Real Sociedad would not have introduced Kovacevic, who is just a substitute.

Mark is now considering how he will defend the tower in the penalty area once he comes on the court. Mark is studying Kovacevic's running route and shooting action.

Mark has already regarded himself as Barboro. Now Mark has completely devoted himself to the field of thought. Mark has no longer paid so seriously to other things.

Mark feels that he can find a way to deal with Kovacevic outside the court, so that he can wait until he comes on the court and then continue to play a better role. Although head coach Ferlando may not necessarily send Mark to the court, and even after Mark comes on the court, he may not necessarily defend Kovacevic.

But Mark doesn't think so. Mark thinks that even if he can't play, this is a valuable experience, because he might encounter this type of striker in the future, so Mark also needs to learn from experience at any time to better defend.

Mark competed with Kovacevic in his personal thoughts, where Mark had already thrown Kovacevic to the shoveler.

The game has been going on for 75 minutes now, and Ferlando seemed to see that Atletico Madrid really couldn't start the game, so he remembered Mark, and he was about to let Mark appear.

"Tell Mark that his position is the striker, and he must score a goal when he lets him go up." Ferlando said to the assistant coach.

Obviously, Ferlando doesn't seem to be talking to Mark anymore. This is Ferlando's stinginess. It should be counted as it is because Alkmaar team did not celebrate with Ferlando after scoring the goal in the last game, so Ferlando still holds a grudge now.

But as a head coach, you should have a certain degree of demeanor and you should not hold a grudge just because of these small things, because most head coaches who do this usually die miserably, not that they will die, but because their life in the club will be very miserable.

However, there are also successes, but there are very few successful people, and without exception, those who succeed are the world-class coaches. Capello successfully saved Casano's career in Rome. Although Capello was also very dissatisfied with Casano's style, he also patiently trained him.

Ferlando may also want to train Mark, but he has such ability and incidents. You should know that Capello had many good cards in his hands back then, so he boldly put Casano on the bench.

"Damn, you think I'm Superman, you can score goals when you go up. This is not a basketball game. You can score goals when you go up and say you can score goals," Mark cursed in his heart.

Ferlando obviously really regarded Mark as the sharpshooter in basketball games. Many of the sharpshooters in basketball games can score goals and score as soon as they come on the court.

But it is obvious that the rules of basketball and football are different. The score of more than 100 points in basketball games is beyond the reach of football games.

But Mark just thought about it in his heart. Mark was not so stupid that he could say it out loud. Moreover, Mark was already very happy to be able to get the chance to play, no matter what position he was.

Atletico Madrid has used up three substitutions, and Van der Fate, Salva and Mark have all appeared.

Atletico Madrid's current formation is a strong offensive formation of 433. Torres and Mark are on both sides of the forward, and Salva is at the front.

Colsa, Lu Xin and Van der Fate in the midfield intercepted and defended, which was also the first time Van der Fate returned to the formation of three midfielders. Last season, Mark played the organizational midfielder in Ajax's three-midfield formation and also participated in the defense. Van der Fate is naturally not very unfamiliar with such a formation now.

The four defenders at the starter line were still the helpless moves of Ferlando. Atletico Madrid fell behind in the score, but it was not the kind of time that needed to go all out. Because of the disadvantage of falling behind in one ball, Ferlando was hesitant whether to attack with all his strength.

However, in the end, the conservative Ferlando decided to stabilize the defense first. As for the offense, it should be directly left to his players to let them use their strength.

This does not mean that Ferlando's current idea is wrong, because the 4333 lineup is also considered a strong attack formation. As long as two full-backs are assisted, the formation can immediately become a 253 formation.

Last season, Ajax won the league championship with such powerful offensive power, but at that time this formation was a super offensive formation in Koeman's hands.

However, Ferlando arranged such a formation not to strengthen the offense, but to strengthen the defense. The two full-backs of Atletico Madrid are now suppressed by Real Sociedad and have no chance to go forward to assist. Atletico Madrid can only directly pass the ball from the backcourt to find the top of his forward's head.

However, the chance of passing such a ball is too slim. Although there are three forwards of Atletico Madrid, the opponent's defensive players have already prepared the interception route when passing the ball for a long distance. Moreover, Real Sociedad now has a lot of people in, with three central defenders defending.

This is also a solution to deal with Real Sociedad's head coach after seeing Ferlando replace Mark on the stadium. In his opinion, Mark should be the most threatening person for Atletico Madrid.

"Going outward" Mark can't get the football at all now. Mark is now shouting and gesturing at his teammates, which means telling his teammates to pass the ball and try to get out of the penalty area so that he can get the football.

However, in this situation, only Van der Fate can pass such a ball, but Van der Fate has been frozen. Often after Van der Fate gets the ball, two Real Sociedad players will intercept it. Anyway, if you can't intercept, you will directly commit a foul. Generally, the referee rarely gives yellow cards for fouls in the half of Atletico Madrid.

So now Real Sociedad has figured out the head coach's law enforcement standards. They are firmly implementing the head coach's tactical arrangements. They must not let Atletico Madrid's best passers pass the ball. As for other players, their footwork is still different from Van der Fate.

"Damn it, let's do it, how can I play if I can't get the ball?" Mark thought depressedly.

Mark has no choice now. Although head coach Ferlando asked Mark to score a goal, Mark is still running directly to the midfield to intercept according to the situation on the court.

"Good grab" Jack Ma, who was watching TV, shouted at Mark's performance.

"Speak softly, it's midnight now," Julie next to her reminded.

After hearing Julie's scolding, Jack Ma nodded and stopped talking. He also knew that his voice was a little loud, but the reason why Jack Ma was so excited was entirely because Mark had just completed an excellent slip shovel and directly broke the football off.

"It's better to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing." Mark just slid the shovel and broke the ball under Preto's feet and ran forward, thinking in his mind.

"Okay, come on Mark!" The fans of Atletico Madrid who came to cheer away were also shouting, and their shouting sounded particularly loud in this small stadium.

There are still tens of millions of fans in China who are paying attention to the current game. Although Mark cannot hear their voices, they are also shouting hard to cheer up Mark.
