172 Fierce Confrontation

The scores of both sides were not rewritten in the next first half, and Atletico Madrid entered the half-time break with a one-to-zero lead.

"Mark, the performance in the first half was very good. Your shot was so beautiful," goalkeeper Franco said to Mark with his shoulder.[]

Mark also smiled and didn't say anything. Mark enjoyed his teammates' praise for him.

"Okay, we performed well in the first half, we have to defend in the second half," Cooper said to the players during the break.

"Mark, you're back to the midfielder position" Cooper made a substitution adjustment: "Glenshare is the right forward, Van der Fate is the left forward, Salva is the away game, and Colsa comes on the field as the midfielder."

Cooper should be not very satisfied with Salva's performance in the first half. At the same time, it was also because of tactical considerations that Salva was replaced and replaced with a midfielder Corsa, so Atletico Madrid would have three midfielders.

Cooper believed that Zaragoza would definitely strengthen the offense after conceding the ball in the second half, and the midfield was where the two teams needed to compete. For this reason, Cooper directly replaced Salva and replaced the defensive midfielder Corsa.

"We should be solidifying the midfield in the second half. As long as we can win the midfield, we will have a great chance of winning the game." Cooper continued.

However, Salva once again showed a lonely expression. I don’t know how many times he was replaced. Salva before could not use people because Ferlando could not use people, so there was no better chance.

But if he changed his head coach, he was still as conservative. Cooper had not given Salva a chance before, but Salva did not seize his chance well. Atletico Madrid will also introduce new forward players during the winter transfer, which also gave Salva a sense of urgency.

However, Salva, who had a sense of urgency, did not seize the starting opportunity of this game to win the coach's newcomer, so Salva gradually lost hope and felt that his future was relatively confused.

"Brother, don't be discouraged, you still have a chance in the future," Mark, next to Salva, comforted Salva.

In fact, Mark just comforted Salva. Mark didn't know if Salva would have a chance in the future. And it should be fought for by himself, and it was impossible for others to give it to you.

"Thank you, I'm fine," Salva also pretended to be very strong and said to Mark, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed on his face.

Actually, Cooper said it right. The midfield is indeed what Atletico Madrid should strive for, which is where Atletico Madrid must strive for defense in the second half.

The second half of the game soon began, and Zaragoza also made a substitution adjustment, replacing Moreno, who had performed poorly in the first half, with Serbian striker Drulic.

Moreno, sitting on the bench, also looked very declining. If he wanted to continue to prove his strength in Atletico Madrid's game, he would have waited for a long time.

However, although the newly-playing Drulic is unfamiliar with his name, his name is definitely not small. Serbian center, Vieri, who was once known as the Balkans, bought him from the Red Star in the summer of 2001 with a club record of 2.15 billion pesetta (about 13 million euros). To this day, this is still the most expensive signing in the history of the Zaragoza club.

The Zaragoza people regard Drulic as their Milosevic, but Drulic disappointed them. He made thirty-five appearances in three seasons with Zaragoza and only scored three goals. He can be said to be the biggest parallel player in Zaragoza.

The Zaragoza people regard Drulic as their Milosevic, but Drulic disappointed them, and he only contributed six goals in 50 games in all four years of playing for Zaragoza

The reason why Zaragoza's head coach Munos sent him on the court is because Munos hopes that Drulic can give his impact to help Zaragoza create some opportunities.

In fact, there is some gambling in it, but after all, Zaragoza's score is behind, so if Munos doesn't make changes, it will naturally not work.

After the start of the second half, the players of both sides really started a fierce competition in the midfield, and Drulic, who had just appeared, became a nail owner in Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

He didn't leave the penalty area of ​​Atletico Madrid, and Villa often cooperated with Duo on two sides.

Zaragoza's offense often has assists because the two full-backs also often have five midfielders during the offense.

Movilia dribbled the ball and made a breakthrough. Mark was defending him. Movilia also joined Zaragoza from Atletico Madrid. When he came to Zaragoza, he quickly won the main position and became one of the team's offensive cores.

Although his rights on the court are not as free as Savio, his simple style of play is also appreciated by Zaragoza's head coach Munos.

But Movilia's height is not as good as Mark. Mark's height of 1.85 meters is eight centimeters taller than Movilia. Mark's long legs take a step almost equivalent to Movilia's step and a half. If this is a race, Mark probably won.

But this is not a race, but a football game. Although Movilia's height is different from Mark, his offensive skills are definitely not weaker than Mark, because Mark is a very pure defensive player, and Mark's personal skills are very average compared to his defensive ability.

However, Mark does not need to take the ball to attack. Mark's task at this time is to defend Movilia, so Mark can only focus on Movilia.

Zaragoza's midfielder did not make personnel adjustments in the second half. Their two central defenders were still a combination of Movilia and Poncio. Movilia was already stared by Mark. His offense was basically no threat. Mark entangled him like rubber.

Another central defender, Poncio, was also watched by Atletico Corsa of Atletico Madrid. Corsa has poor offensive ability. Although his defensive ability is not good, Atletico Madrid has a third central defender, that is Lusin. Lusin will make up for Colsa and the players marked by Mark at any time. As long as Mark and Corsa are broken through, Lusin will make up for the opponent's players.

After seeing the situation on the court, Cooper couldn't help but look at the coaching seat of Zaragoza, "What is this Munos going to do? Does he think these two central defenders can fight against Atletico Madrid's three-man defensive midfielder, or does he mean something else?"

At this time, Savio quickly broke through on the wing, then cut inside and passed the ball.

"That's what it means after a long time." After watching the changes on the court, Cooper understood that Arsenal's current tactic is to use the inward cuts of the players from both wings to break the defense of Atletico Madrid's midfield.

Atletico Madrid has already practiced before the game. If Zaragoza players cut inward, Atletico Madrid's wingers will also go to the middle to make up for defense. If they can't defend, they will use tactical fouls. As long as they don't move much, they will not be able to get a yellow card.

Now the two teams are comparing with interception ability, is it Zaragoza's midfielder's strong interception ability or Atletico Madrid's midfielder's better interception ability.

Movilia took it there and passed it to Galetti on the right. After Galettin cut, Van der Fate on the left stepped forward to interfere. Galetti didn't control the football, and the football was cut off by Mark, and then Mark passed it to Van der Fate. Now is a good time to counterattack.

However, Movilia of Zaragoza's team stepped forward to intercept and stepped on Van der Fate's feet. Van der Fate immediately fell to the ground, and then rolled on the ground with his legs in his arms.

"What the hell are you doing? Are you blind?" Mark came up and shouted at Movilia with a grudge.

"I didn't mean it either," Movilia explained to Mark, and he also expressed his friendship standing beside Van der Fatt to pull Van der Fatt up.

But Van der Fate was still rolling on the ground, and he didn't see Movilia's hand stretching out.

"You can really pretend, okay, you want to play, right? I will let you know how great it is later." Mark thought to himself after seeing Movilia's hypocritical performance.

After the referee awarded a free kick, the referee signaled the Atletico Madrid team doctor to enter the court. Mark couldn't help but worry when he saw this, but after the team doctor came on the court, Van der Fate stood up and the game continued.

Van der Fate took a free kick, and the free kick flew directly to Liverpool's right. This is Glencier's position. After Glencier got the ball, he saw Poncio coming to defend himself. He immediately changed the line and prepared to cut into the penalty area. Poncio was not deceived by Glencier. He just followed Glencier so that he could not have the right opportunity to shoot. As for Glencier if he wanted to pass the ball, there was no suitable opportunity. Poncio's close defense put a lot of restrictions on Glencier.

Glencier had to pass the football back to his companions without getting a good chance. After Lusin got the football, he dribbled the ball and strided. At this time, Movilia tackled directly to the football with a tackle, and Mark was knocked down. Although Movilia's movements were suspected of being a foul this time, the referee did not award a foul.

This is a good opportunity for Arsenal to counterattack, but when Movilia passed the ball to Villa in front, the football was cut off by Mark again.

After seeing Mark's beautiful interception on the sidelines, Cooper shouted appreciatively on the sidelines, "Good done, just do it, let them know that we are better than them and we can grab it better than them."

After Atletico Madrid's tireless midfield interception, the team's attack fell into a passive position. The short pass infiltration on which Zaragoza relied for its fame is now unable to score at all.

Villa and Drewlic frequently retreated and responded to the midfield. Cooper watched the two appear frequently in their midfield. Cooper also shouted to the players: "Area defense, defend your own area, let Mark make up for the position."

The players of Atletico Madrid naturally know how to defend. As long as the two forwards of Zaragoza are pulled outside the penalty area, Atletico Madrid's three-defensive midfielder will split a player to keep them fixed, which will reduce their chances of getting the ball.

"Can't let them go, leave it to me to defend them," Mark shouted at the players.

When Atletico Madrid's defensive players heard Mark's shout, they seemed to have a backbone. Mark's defensive mobility is also very admired by all Atletico Madrid players, so if Mark takes the initiative to defend, the other players will naturally feel at ease.

"Mark has good excitement. If he is on defense, there should be no problem," the assistant coach said to Cooper. In fact, he wanted to praise Mark.

Cooper nodded and said, "Yes, these players are the cornerstones of the team's championship. If they are given enough room for growth, it will be impossible for Atletico Madrid to win the championship in the future."

"I wonder which players are more optimistic about?" The assistant coach also continued to ask Cooper on the side.

"It should be Mark, Fernando and Raphael. If the team can introduce Carlos and Alejandro during the winter break and then match other players, it may not be impossible to win the championship," Cooper said to the assistant coach with expectant look.

"Coach Cooper seems to be discussing some secret tactics with the assistant coach." Duan Xuan pretended to be discovering the new world, but at the same time he said: "It seems, but it seems to be chatting again, which is too easy."

"If you are really chatting, you can only explain two issues. One is that Li is very confident in this game, and the other is that he is very unconfident." Brother Duan Xuan continued, Brother Duan Xuan said both possible.

While Cooper and the assistant coach were talking, Atletico Madrid once again interrupted the football in the backcourt. "It's Mark again, why use it... This is the tenth steal in the thirty minutes of the second half. Mark's performance is simply invincible. Atletico Madrid has simply picked up a big advantage. He is simply an all-round player." Duan Xuan Ge continued to praise Mark, and at the same time he said with some regret: "If there are more players like Mark in our country, I believe that the dream of going out of Asia and rushing to the world will definitely not be too far away from us."

"I wonder if the head coach of the Chinese national team will see his superhuman performance," Duan Xuan continued, but it's a pity that Mark actually withdrew from the national team at such a young age.

The ball was intercepted and it was Movilla, the midfield core of Zaragoza. Movilla whispered to Mark who was defending him: "Brother, are you crazy today? Why are you so fierce?"

Mark said slowly from the side: "Because you have hurt my friends, I will teach you a lesson on the court. Of course, it is not like you use despicable means, but defeating you upright."

After Movilia heard Mark's words, he was suddenly inspired to fight because he had not been told by such a young man. He also wanted to prove his strength in this game.

Because Atletico Madrid is Movilia's previous parent team after all, he hopes to perform well in this game to make Atletico Madrid regret it.

Now Mark grabbed the football and passed it to Lusin immediately. Lusin did not pass the ball. He continued to assist, but soon he met Poncio. Poncio pressed Lusin tightly to block his way forward, and Lusin passed the football to Mark.

Mark continued to dribble the ball and recommend it forward. At this time, no one defended Mark. Mark felt that there was a great chance this time, so Mark also wanted to use his maximum speed to accelerate and run, striving to get this offense and turn it into a goal.

Cooper was also very nervous when he saw Mark running on the stadium, because if Mark could bring a goal to Atletico Madrid this time, Atletico Madrid would lead with two goals in the score.

If this is the case, Atletico Madrid will definitely win the game at home, so Cooper is also looking forward to this goal, and he needs Mark to score.

He needs a goal, a goal that breaks the situation between the two teams.

After Mark got the ball, he used his speed to pass the open space in front of Movilia who was defending him. Poncio is still desperately chasing back. Poncio has just defended Lusin. After passing the ball to Mark on the route, he immediately reacted and then chased Mark frantically.

Van der Fate and Glencier saw Mark get the ball and quickly split the side, which involved Zaragoza's defensive players on the side, and the defense in the middle suddenly leaked out.

After Mark dribbled the ball and broke into the penalty area, Zaragoza's central defender Milito roared and rushed up. The two people collided again in this game.

Mark's current superb skills are not superb, and Milito's speed is relatively slow. It depends on whether Mark can use his own speed to force Milito. Milito didn't give Mark a chance at all. When Mark dribbled the ball directly over Milito's defense, Milito fouled on Mark. The referee awarded a free kick and showed Milito a yellow card.

At this time, Atletico Madrid also got a free kick opportunity with a good position. It depends on whether Mark can seize this free kick opportunity to help the team score.
