After defeating Sabadell with a score of 2-0, some Santa Malaga players were really inflated, forgetting the difficulty of the game and only remembering the final score.
Captain Pablo's words made them wake up. They were just a team at the lowest level in Spain, and their current opponent was a second-division team.
In this case, shouldn't it be Alcorcón who feels disappointed?
Santa Malaga has regained its position, and its fighting spirit and morale have returned.
After a fifteen-minute intermission, the second half of the game began.
Santamara, who was the first to serve, did not rush to transfer the ball to the opponent's half to start the attack, but patiently dropped the ball in the midfield and backcourt.
Alcorcon immediately started pressing in the frontcourt, and the competition on the court became fierce in an instant.
The Santa Malaga players did not panic when the opponent pressed them. Instead, they cooperated extremely smoothly, vividly demonstrating the characteristics of Spanish football.
As time went by, Alcorcon's players became impatient and moved more aggressively, and Santa Malaga's players were knocked down frequently.
Antonio did not direct the team to rush to attack, but still directed the team to dump the ball in the midfield and backcourt, and the home fans let out huge boos.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Pablo, who had the ball in the hinterland, suddenly made a long pass and launched the first attack of the second half!
The football flew toward the hinterland of Alcorcon. Liage failed to win the battle with the opponent's center back, and the ball was pushed back to the midfield by the opponent's center back.
"Rob!……"
Liage wanted to take a rest, but Antonio shouted loudly from the audience.
The tactics Santa Malaga often practices, in addition to defensive counterattacks, are high-position pressing. Antonio hopes to kill the opponent's offense in the cradle through high-position pressing.
Liage immediately retreated to the midfield and counterattacked with his teammates.
Through a collective effort, Santa Malaga stole the football once again!
damn it!
How can coach Alcorcon sit on the bench? Ten minutes into the second half, Alcorcon not only failed to show a decent offense, but the football was firmly controlled by Santa Malaga.
If this continues, it will be extremely detrimental to Alcorcón.
Under the shouts of the coach, Alcorcon's formation pressed forward collectively. More and more players participated in the pressing in the midfield and frontcourt. The two sides started a fierce battle near the midfield.
As the pressure increased, Santa Malaga, whose overall strength was at a disadvantage, began to make more mistakes, but they kept the situation evenly matched through active pressing.
After Alcorcon completed the steal, he was unable to launch an attack comfortably, and the two sides fell into a chaotic battle.
Coach Alcorcón, who was standing in the command area, looked increasingly uglier and his roars became more frequent.
Evenly matched with this D-level team?!
The impatient mentality of Alcorcón's players emerged.
In the 27th minute of the second half, when Pablo stole the football from the opponent's feet, he was brought down to the ground by the opponent.
This was a bad foul. The opponent kicked Pablo on his right leg, and the stadium immediately became chaotic.
Players from both sides gathered around, spitting, pushing and pulling, and there was a tendency to "fight if they disagreed".
The referee rushed to the center of the incident and stopped the situation from deteriorating with a yellow card.
In the subsequent games, the movements of both sides became larger and larger, and the game turned into a hand-to-hand battle, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
