On January 10, the Conch Stadium welcomed Barcelona and Real Madrid in four consecutive days. Although this game was only a King's Cup game, it still attracted a large number of Mallorca fans. It is difficult to say how many of these fans were attracted by Barlow. After all, Balotelli had performed very well in Segunda Divisi¨®n and gained the favor of many fans. After learning that Balotelli was included in Mallorca's squad for this game, , many Mallorca fans want to see what kind of performance Balotelli can have at the Conch Stadium.
In fact, the star power of this game is not particularly strong. In the starting lineups announced by both sides before the game, there are many main players hidden. Jose¡¯s starting lineup is 433, goalkeeper Pinto, defender Campano, Ivanovic, Sergio and Puerta, in the midfield, Martinez, Farinos and Senna formed a three-midfielder, and on the front line were Silva, Ronaldo and I Nesta's trident combination. For Real Madrid, Schuster has hidden seven main players, goalkeeper Dudek, defenders Salgado, Ramos, Heinze and Torres, midfielders Gago, Sneijder, Guti, and forward Raul. , Robinho and Higuain, Casillas, Cannavaro, Diarra, Baptista, Ruud van Nistelrooy and other main players have been arranged to take turns. Obviously, in the Copa del Rey game , neither side is particularly concerned about it.
Ronaldo played for the first time after being injured last season. Although the team he played for before was Real Madrid, in the Real Madrid he is facing now, his former teammates only have Salgado, Guti and Raul. , and these three people are now basically reduced to substitutes. Salgado can only play during the rotation. Guti's position is good and bad. Even Raul, as the banner of Real Madrid, basically only plays. To be able to appear in midfield
In the player tunnel, Ronaldo chatted with Raul for a few words. Among the three people, he may have a better relationship with Raul, and he is not particularly familiar with Salgado and Guti.
"Congratulations on your return from injury, Ronnie, but we will not let you win this game. We will also strive to break Mallorca's unbeaten record at home, even in the cup." Raul said with a smile.
"Haha, in my first game after recovering from injury, I don't want to lose. In this game, I will try my best to score a goal!"
The conversation between the two people was naturally relatively friendly, but if it fell into the ears of others, they would have different ideas. Mallorca's substitute lineup did not have much respect for Raul. After all, players like Puerta and Young players like Martinez have never played against Raul. Raul's performance has declined in the past two years. They just feel that this guy has expired. As for the two central defenders who played in Real Madrid's game, they are even more dissatisfied. Think Ronaldo can score in front of us - Ronaldo was very good in the past, but now Ronaldo he has been injured for so long and is getting older, and he still wants to score in front of us?
Ramos is young and energetic, but Heinze purely because of his Argentinian identity, he instinctively dislikes Ronaldo, the Brazilian superstar - Ronaldo is the idol of many players, but few Argentine players express their The idol is Ronaldo, because they have an eternal idol Maradona - but perhaps it is for this reason that Argentina has not recovered from the "Maradona syndrome" and has been looking for Maradona. Ladona thought that with Maradona he could win the World Cup, but he never found one. He just found a lot of "Maradona's successors."
After the players from both sides came out, Mallorca fans gave out huge cheers to welcome Ronaldo's return. Ronaldo frequently raised his hands to signal to the stands. At this time, even the Real Madrid fans who came from afar did not do anything to disgrace the scenery. , although Ronaldo was also very unhappy in his last year at Real Madrid, Real Madrid fans will remember that he brought so many goals to Real Madrid in the four years he joined Real Madrid. Although he did not bring a championship, it is obvious that, That's not his problem alone.
Balotelli was sitting on the bench, and Jose specifically asked him to sit next to him. This scene fell into the eyes of Mallorca's substitute players, and they knew that this kid was going to develop. As a youth team Among the players from the second team, who can be specially placed next to Jose on the bench after entering the first team? The earliest Motta and Luke, later Matias, Torres, Iniesta, and then Silva these all started to become popular after that, and facts have proved that they often make He The young players that Serbia admires in particular have top talents and great futures!
The broadcast camera also noticed this, and the commentator of Spanish National Television began to shout: "What do we see in the camera? The person sitting next to Jose is not assistant coach Natal, nor other first team members, but was before this gameA member of the Mallorca second team who was temporarily transferred to the first team, the 17-year-old Ghanaian forward Mario Balotelli! This player can obtain Italian citizenship after turning 18, but now he can still only be regarded as a non-EU foreign aid. However, Mallorca has only two non-EU players this season, namely Maicon and Ivanovic. At that time, everyone thought that Jose would buy a non-EU player, but he did not do so. Instead, he vacated a non-EU quota. Was it just for Balotelli? This does not seem to be a rare thing. This player joined Mallorca's youth team in the summer of 2006 when he was only sixteen years old. It is said that he was also spotted by Barcelona at that time, but Barcelona could not meet his needs. There was demand for treatment, so Mallorca grabbed it. In the youth team competition last season, he played 26 times and scored 29 goals! This goal rate has surpassed Messi before, and is second only to the goal record of Bojan, who entered the Barcelona first team this season. When he just turned seventeen last summer, the Mallorca club couldn't wait. They gave him a formal professional contract and allowed him to play for Mallorca's second team in La Liga. He also delivered a perfect answer in the first half of the season, scoring ten goals in nineteen appearances. Four goals, as well as seven assists, helped Mallorca's second team make a great contribution to the top six in La Liga. Originally, no matter how outstanding he was, it was unlikely that he would get a chance in Mallorca's first team quickly. However, Torres' injury gave him this opportunity. Will he become a blockbuster like Messi or be unable to get too much like Bojan? What about opportunities? let us wait and see! "
This commentator is obviously a fan of Mallorca, otherwise he would not have such high expectations for Balotelli - you must know that Balotelli is not Spanish, and he will also become an Italian nationality in the future, but he His excitement can only be explained by the fact that he is a Mallorca fan
While the commentator was excitedly explaining, Jose turned to Balotelli and asked: "Are you envious? Mario?"
"Envy." Balotelli nodded honestly, and then said: "But I will definitely be more popular with fans than him in the future!"
Although Jose has experienced so many storms and met all kinds of players, he was choked by Balotelli's words and was speechless - who was he using as a metaphor? ? Ronaldo! Ronaldo's popularity is not just due to his performance on the court, but to a talent that emerged during the period when the ball was king and made countless people place their hopes. Coupled with his later bumpy fate, he gained more and wider support. This kind of support itself has gone beyond the scope of the stadium. It is the kind that the times create heroes. Even if Balotelli is a genius, if you want to achieve the fame and popularity of Ronaldo, you cannot achieve it on the stadium
But think about it, instead of being famous for his lewdness, he shocked the world with his coquettishness. With Balotelli's 2B character, it might not be a strange thing for him to be able to do this. Of course, it would not be a positive thing. reputation, but negative
Thinking of this, Jose could only pat Balotelli on the shoulder: "Okay, watch the game carefully and see why Ronnie is so popular. His popularity is not just about scoring a few goals."
Jose did not say what he said next. What Ronaldo actually represents is a player's struggle against fate. This is the most essential thing about football - everyone's hands are more flexible than their feet, but football players rely on their feet to survive. , the opponent is a goalkeeper who can use his hands - from this aspect, the sport of football represents something more, it represents a kind of struggle of human beings against their own shortcomings, a sport that challenges one's own limits.
Of course, this kind of general statement should be made to Balotelli? Jose has not yet reached that point of confusion.
While Jose and Balotelli were chatting, the game had already begun, and everyone¡¯s attention began to turn to the game.
The excitement and technical content of this game are definitely not as high as a heavyweight match with both sides sending all their main players. However, there is a lot to watch. Two former top players have been reduced to only playing in the cup. The appearance, the competition between the two of them, was a huge highlight in itself.
In the first twenty minutes, the two sides were constantly entangled in the midfield. Each had some opportunities but missed them. It was not until twenty minutes later that the game really started.
In the 23rd minute, Mallorca got a corner kick. Silva took the corner kick from the right. The ball missed Salgado and Higuain who was returning to defense. Ronaldo followed up in the middle and appeared in time. He was right where he should be, pushing and shooting to open the scoring for Mallorca!
"Ronnie! Ronnie! He scored in the first game after returning from injury! No matter how old he is, he is always the same??Indestructible aliens! "
After Ronaldo¡¯s goal ignited the passion in the hearts of Mallorca fans, just two minutes later, Raul made all Real Madrid fans cheer!
Sneijder¡¯s cross from the right was blocked by Puerta, but the ball still bounced into the penalty area. Raul appeared at the first landing point in time, and suddenly volleyed sideways against the bouncing ball!
The ball was close to the goal and accurately flew into the upper corner of the goal! Pinto had no reaction at all to this shot and could only watch the ball fly into the goal!
"Raul was not to be outdone! This goal was even more exciting than Ronaldo's just now! Perhaps stimulated by Ronaldo's goal, Raul quickly equalized the score for Real Madrid! This sideways volley fully demonstrated the His characteristic is to appear in key places at critical times, and then score goals in this very difficult way! Whether it is Ronaldo or Raul, maybe they are old, but they are still indispensable to Mallorca and Real Madrid. Lack of existence!¡±
