Super Marshal

The venue for the Copa del Rey final is Elche, the third largest city in the Valencia Autonomous Region.

The Martinez Valero Stadium is like a small island suspended in the eastern suburbs of the city, surrounded by a desert.

Aragones joked that playing in this stadium, Real Mallorca seemed to be back at home.

What he means is that Mallorca, which is isolated outside Spain, has a sense of belonging here.

Gao Han directly ignored this method of forcefully trying to find a feeling, but he dared not pay attention to Real Mallorca.

This season, Real Mallorca temporarily ranks ninth in La Liga. The results are not very satisfactory, and there are no big-name players, but they stick to the overall tactics of Aragones as always.

This is why they were able to beat Real Madrid 5-1 at the Bernabéu.

Four four two, this is the tactical formation of Real Mallorca.

And the biggest change is the frontcourt.

After top scorer Luke left for Deportivo before the season, Real Mallorca signed Pandiani on loan while also bringing in Fernando Correa from Atletico Madrid.

The former quickly became Eto'o's most powerful partner, while the latter is a qualified substitute for the team.

The midfielder is in a diamond-shaped position, and the Argentine Ibagaza is behind the two forwards, serving as the team's forward midfielder.

In the offensive combination of the frontcourt, Gao Han is most wary of Cheetah Eto'o.

In the past four rounds of La Liga, Eto'o scored seven goals and three assists alone. His performance can be described as a standout and he is the most eye-catching scorer for Real Mallorca.

Gao Han also emphasized the threat of Eto'o in defense.

Atletico Madrid has an advantage in terms of overall strength, but they dare not be careless.

The Galaxy Battleship's five-goal defeat at home is the best lesson learned.

The reason is to underestimate the enemy.

After scoring one goal, Real Madrid thought they had the chance to win. Unexpectedly, Real Mallorca scored two goals in a row, which caught Real Madrid by surprise.

The result after that is very logical.

Real Madrid was desperate to counterattack, Real Mallorca insisted on counterattacking, and the next three goals were almost exactly the same.

Gao Han will not allow Atletico Madrid to repeat the mistakes made by the Galacticos.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid adopted a relatively safe tactic, using its own strength to steadily suppress the opponent, instead of blindly pursuing goals.

This allowed Atletico Madrid to quickly take advantage of the field, and Real Mallorca's truly threatening first shot did not appear until 23 minutes.

It was a wonderful pass from Ibagaza. Pandiani threw away Dario Srna and made a cross from the left. Eto'o suddenly stepped in and jumped at the same time as Marchena to compete for the top. Chener made a successful save.

The African cheetah was obviously disappointed that he failed to score, but Gao Han on the sidelines had lingering fears.

"This kid is really fast."

"Who said it wasn't?" Cantarero was also shocked. "Just now, he was still far away, but he suddenly rushed forward, and he rushed directly to the front. Fortunately, Marchena got a good position this time, otherwise if……"

This kind of sudden rush to grab the spot is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose the ball.

"The most terrifying thing is that this kid is improving every game." Gao Han murmured in admiration.

Because of Aragones' relationship, it can be said that he has always paid attention to Eto'o.

In the past two years, the Cameroon striker has not made much progress, and his strength data in the eyes of the eyes has not changed, which can be called a wonderful flower.

The strange thing is that in the past few games, he seemed to have a sudden epiphany, and he was improving by leaps and bounds in every game.

Now, his strength has reached one hundred and sixty-five, and he is still improving rapidly.

In terms of fame, many people think that Eto'o is a striker who has only become popular in the past few rounds of La Liga. Only Gao Han knows it. In terms of strength, Eto'o may have reached the level of a first-line striker in La Liga. He has the strength to gain a foothold in all teams. up.

What's more frightening is that this Cameroonian player is young, but he has comprehensive characteristics, rich scoring methods, excellent running ability, and very fast speed. Whether it is personal ability or holding the ball, he is easy to use. nothing.

"Continue to maintain this momentum. Within a year, he will become one of the best scorers in La Liga and even Europe!"

After hearing this, Cantarero and Emery couldn't help being a little surprised.

Gao Han has always been knowledgeable, and everyone admires him very much, but is it a bit exaggerated to predict Eto'o's future in this way?

You know, the Cameroon boy has been criticized a lot in the past two seasons, and he has only played a few games now. As for giving him such a big hat?

Regarding the assistant's doubts, Gao Han just smiled and would not answer directly.

But Eto'o responded on the court and became Real Mallorca's most threatening sharp knife on the front line.

Due to the emphasis on Alpine before the game, Atletico Madrid's defense was good. Coupled with its own advantages in strength, it did not give Real Mallorca too many opportunities. The two sides maintained a certain amount of ground by relying on their respective tactics. On the balance of power.

But this balance of power only lasted for more than half an hour.

In the 36th minute, Atlético de Madrid played an exquisite cooperation in the front court. The ball was passed back and forth, and Villa and Jankulovski cooperated on the left side. Headed the goal and opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid, 1-0.

After breaking the deadlock on the field, the first half continued to maintain the balance of power before the goal.

But in the second half, after the two sides changed sides and fought again, Real Mallorca suddenly launched a wave of rushing attacks, especially Eto'o, who was quite active. Chener, almost to form a single pole.

But at the critical moment, Carvalho calmly tackled once and resolved a crisis.

Only five minutes later, it was Eto'o who took the ball from the left again. After passing Dario Srna and Marchena in a row, he kicked suddenly, but Cech reacted quickly and lifted the ball out of the crossbar with both hands. Keep the goal clean.

Atlético Madrid also quickly responded. Villa, Deco and Dario Srna successively shot very threatening shots, which made Real Mallorca's goal very jittery.

Especially in the 73rd minute of the game, Kiko, who came off the bench, received a pass from Deco in front of the goal and flew the header to the left. Villa caught up overnight and made another victory for Atletico Madrid. than zero.

So far, the game has completely lost its suspense!

…………

…………

"We tried our best, but we still lost, what the hell!"

As soon as the game was over, Aragones came over to congratulate Gao Han for the first time, but the first sentence was a complaint.

The Spanish coach, who has a distinct mark of Atletico Madrid on his body, is not in a bad mood even though he lost the game.

Throughout the whole game, he did try his best, but his skills were not as good as others.

It is an indisputable fact that Atletico Madrid's overall strength has completely suppressed Real Mallorca.

The record of the Bernabeu's five-to-one massacre of Real Madrid is rare, but one can never be repeated.

"Judging from your tone, it seems that you are not convinced." Gao Han asked with a smile.

Aragones shook his head, "Of course we are not convinced. We can do better. If Eto'o can score a goal, the result will be completely different, but unfortunately, we are not very lucky."

In this regard, Gao Han can only hehe.

He really wanted to remind this stubborn Spanish coach that Eto'o doesn't seem to have an absolute chance to score, right?

But if you win the ball, you have to step down a little bit, right?

"La Liga and the Copa del Rey are here, and now it's time for the Champions League."

When Aragones said this, he suddenly looked at Gao Han with a very envious look, "You kid should have some snacks. In the history of Spanish football, no team has ever won the Triple Crown. If you do, then But..."

But whatever, Aragones didn't say anything, but Gao Han knew it in his heart.

Getting this honor will completely establish his position in Spanish football, and even European football.

No matter how long it passes, there will still be countless fans who will remember him.

After all, professional football also pays attention to ranking seniority.

"The current AC Milan is not easy to deal with." Gao Han said with a frown.

"Last weekend, when we played away to Deportivo, I chatted with Irueta for a while. Guess how he described AC Milan to me?"

Aragones suddenly became interested, "How to say?"

"He said that AC Milan has the most luxurious attacking combination in the world, but they play the most conservative football in the world, but as long as you don't pay attention and show some flaws, they will mercilessly kill you. eat."

The flesh on Aragones' cheeks twitched slightly, and he nodded in sympathy.

A team like AC Milan can only be born in Serie A.

Shevchenko and Inzaghi are both well-known scorers in the world. Seedorf, Rui Costa, Rivaldo and Pirlo are all famous No. 10 players in the world.

If you say that this lineup is put together, it can be regarded as a top-ranked top attacking lineup in European football.

But in the hands of Ancelotti, it was abruptly kneaded into an extremely conservative defensive counterattack.

What's even more troublesome is that they not only know how to defend, but once they are given a chance, they can quickly launch a sharp and deadly counterattack.

The 4-0 game at the Riazor Stadium is the best example!

"Serie A teams are really difficult to play, and AC Milan is one of the hardest bones, especially in the Champions League final." Aragones is also very helpless about this.

AC Milan was able to go from the second place in the two-stage group stage to the knockout stage, beheading many strong teams all the way, and reaching the Champions League final, which in itself is an affirmation of the strength of the Rossoneri.

If Ancelotti didn't have any housekeeping skills, he wouldn't be here today.

As for Atletico Madrid, it is not easy to break through AC Milan's goal and avoid being attacked by the opponent's counterattack.

Facts have proved that after adjusting tactics from Ancelotti, no team can do it.

Deportivo, Juventus and Inter Milan all died in the hands of AC Milan.

Although Atletico Madrid is in good condition and has a strong momentum, it is still very difficult to beat AC Milan in the Champions League final.

Moreover, the Sheets are young, and it is the first time they have reached the Champions League final. Whether it is experience, patience, or even overall stability, they are probably slightly inferior to AC Milan.

Therefore, it is not completely unreasonable for the bookmaker to give half-even odds.
