When six consecutive crowns, three consecutive Champions League titles, three consecutive Club World Cup titles and other honors are concentrated on one team, whether this team wants to cast a dazzling light, that is all impossible things.
It is not that Spain has never had dynasties, but often when Real Madrid and Barcelona were at their strongest, they began to decline. It was not because of the decline in the form of their main players, the lowering of the level of their players, etc. They often died in civil strife, led by Van Gaal. When the team won two consecutive league championships, Figo's departure was the watershed. The intolerance of the Dutch and local gangs ushered in five years of gloomy period for Barcelona. The first period of Real Madrid Galaxy fell apart and Florentino was completely torn away. Starting from Vicente del Bosque, Meng Er's decline stemmed from the conflicts between Ronaldinho and Eto'o and others These teams all started to decline in performance when they still had a very strong lineup. The biggest reason was the internal conflict. Fight, but do you want Mallorca to fight within itself? This is almost impossible
There is a reason for the tradition of infighting between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The advantage of a membership-based club is that it is impossible to have an unpopular chairman in office all the time. The disadvantage is that there are always many people eyeing the position of the chairman, and the forces in the locker room are intertwined. They can still work together when reaching the peak, but after achieving their wishes, they start fighting among themselves. However, Mallorca does not have such a problem. There is only one voice in the entire club, and that is Jose's voice. Players requested by the card will be eliminated, and the club's top management is even more monolithic - Chairman Alemany is Jose's father, Vice Chairman Remo was promoted by Alemany and Jose, and Technical Director Piri is Jose is a friend of Jose, and Jose owns all the shares of the club. No player can compete with such a high-level executive. Players who want to cause trouble in the team have only one end, and that is to leave.
Under this circumstance, it seems impossible to expect Mallorca's performance to suddenly decline due to internal strife, and Jose has been gradually promoting rejuvenation. The 32-year-old Ballack and Ronaldo, the 28-year-old Maicon left and joined the 24-year-old De Jong and Thiago Silva as well as the 21-year-old Vertonghen. These three transfers reduced the average age of the Mallorca team by one year. Now Mallorca has only three goalkeepers, Senna and Henry, who are over 30 years old. With their condition and cooperation, there will be no problem at all if they can maintain their top form for another three or four years.
Now this problem has become an almost unsolvable problem - that is, how to prevent Mallorca from continuing to win honors, and even how to prevent Mallorca from continuing to attack the Triple Crown with greed and let others I can't even drink soup in the club
"If you want to stop us, apart from luck, you can only rely on the referee."
Jose smiled slightly, it was the winter break now, Mallorca's players were on vacation, and he was also on vacation with Karin.
Karin is now teaching in a local junior high school in Mallorca. She serves as a biology teacher. She also contributes articles to travel magazines in her spare time. Her life is quite comfortable.
Karin is also quite satisfied with her current life. She has a good job and she and Jose even filmed together during the holidays. Is there any more suitable career than this?
After hearing what Jose said, Karin raised her head and said with a smile: "Even if you are blocked, it's not a big problem, is it?"
"That's right." Jose snapped his fingers and then laughed: "Even if we are blocked in a cup competition, it's not a big deal. Anyway, we will definitely win one or two championships If this continues, we will win. In a few years, Mallorca's status will be completely stable, and if someone sets up an organization like G14, Mallorca will also be the target of their efforts."
Perhaps it is because of this relaxed mentality that Mallorca continues to advance on all fronts after the New Year.
After the New Year, they played against Barcelona and Real Madrid in the league. Mallorca showed excellent form in these two games. They drew with Barcelona in the away game and beat Real Madrid by one goal at home. Although they had two games less As a result, they are nine points behind Barcelona, ??and Mallorca still has nothing to worry about.
Mallorca also completed a reversal under this situation last season. Barcelona won fifteen of the previous sixteen league rounds and only drew with Mallorca. This kind of results cannot continue forever. Yes, as long as Mallorca can achieve good results in the make-up games and then bite Barcelona, ??there will always be time to catch up.
In the two Copa del Rey games, Mallorca, which sent out all substitutes, still defeated Almeria twice and entered the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey.
Their opponent in the Champions League is their old enemy Liverpool. Obviously, among the second-place teams, they want to find someone who can eliminate Manchester United.It is indeed rare to see a team with a high score
"Is Mallorca going to win the Triple Crown again this season?" Many people have asked this question. Now both UEFA and the Spanish Football Association have begun to embarrass Mallorca with the schedule. After all, a team that is so powerful Some teams that go too far are definitely something that no one wants to see - they are playing too much and no one can stand it
Although the King likes Mallorca, Mallorca has never suffered any losses in the country in terms of referees, and of course there is no favoritism - this kind of treatment was only available to Real Madrid in the past, and now there is another horse Lorca, no wonder Barcelona is getting more and more sour - but the referee does not make it difficult for Mallorca, it will always be a little more difficult in terms of the schedule
So in the next quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, Mallorca unsurprisingly faced a powerful opponent, and that was Real Madrid
Real Madrid's performance in the league this season is mediocre, and Juan Ramos can't save Real Madrid. They are three points behind Mallorca in the league, and are already twelve points behind Barcelona - they don't have much to make up for. .
With little hope in the league, the only way to make an impact is in the cup.
Jose continues to use all substitutes to face the next Copa del Rey. His main focus now is on the league.
Juan Ramos' team finally eliminated Mallorca as they wished. They defeated Mallorca 3-1 at home, who came on all substitutes, and then lost only one away game against Mallorca, who also came on all substitutes. In the end, they struggled to reach the semi-finals. Their opponent in the semi-finals was Bilbao, while Barcelona's opponent was Sevilla.
After being eliminated from the King's Cup, Jose breathed a sigh of relief - to be honest, it doesn't matter whether Jose wins the King's Cup or the Champions League this season. The main thing is that winning the Champions League three times in a row is enough to become the target of public criticism. We still have to play hard in the Champions League, but if we can take a step forward, we will take a step forward. It is also good to take a step forward and get more bonuses. Jose will not be too disappointed if he cannot win the final championship.
However, Jose will never give up on the league - the foundation of a team is still in the league. Mallorca's current honor is five championships in the Champions League and the league, four in the King's Cup, and other miscellaneous The number of championships is enough. For example, they are the team that has won the most intercontinental competitions. They have won five Toyota Cup and Club World Cup championships, and they have won the most European Super Cups These honors are important, but they are not the most important. important.
What determines a team's status in Europe is the number of European honors. Mallorca has won a total of six UEFA Cups and Champions Leagues, and the most important Champions League has five. This is already the top level. , the number of times they have won the Champions League is the same as AC Milan, more than Bayern, Ajax and Liverpool who have won four times, and only behind Real Madrid who have won nine times. No one can deny that Mallorca is a very important team in Europe. one.
However, domestically, the honor of five league championships seems a bit thin, not to mention compared with Real Madrid, which has won the championship 29 times, and Barcelona, ??which has won the championship 17 times. There is a certain gap between Athletic Bilbao. Their current results are the same as Valencia's, both are five-time La Liga champions and ranked tied for fifth.
So in terms of the league, Jose will never relax. He can tolerate not winning the King's Cup, and even tolerate not winning the Champions League. However, he must launch an impact in the league, and the league will not let Malo, who has excellent overall strength and a stable lineup, It¡¯s also the best card to get. However, Barcelona is indeed quite strong now. Guardiola quickly integrated the team after the first two rounds of defeat in taking office, using Messie To'o as the arrow, Xavi as the brain, and adding a brand new In the back line, Barcelona has now gradually played the model of the future Dream Team. After all, this kind of trace has been left in their minds since the youth team. As long as the team operates normally, this kind of tactics will naturally appear. on them.
Facing such a powerful Barcelona, ??Mallorca, which is now nine points behind, must concentrate all its attention on the league. The Copa del Rey was eliminated, which allowed Mallorca to make up the match earlier to avoid being in the Champions League knockout round. After the start, you have to be distracted by the make-up games of the league. That would not be fun
If you lose the Copa del Rey, you lose. If you do well in the next league, that's it.
During the period of losing the Copa del Rey, Mallorca once again won two consecutive victories in the league, and they won both against Villarreal and Valencia. They sank the submarine three to two in the battle, and once again defeated the Bat Legion three to one at home, continuing to hold on to Barcelona's winning streak and ranking second.
If it hadn¡¯t been tied with Mallorca midwayWith one game, Barcelona may have broken Real Madrid's winning streak long ago - they had won fourteen consecutive games in the league before encountering Mallorca, and after their winning streak was ended by Mallorca, they next Another consecutive winning streak - this momentum makes all Mallorca feel that Barcelona this season is indeed a powerful opponent that Mallorca has never encountered in recent years!
"Barcelona is indeed very strong this season." Jose answered this question naturally during the interview: "Barcelona is finally on the right track now, and Guardiola is the most suitable head coach for them This is not Compliment. If Guardiola is underestimated because he is coaching the team for the first time, everyone will pay the price. Barcelona is a very special team. They adhere to the same system from the youth team to the adult team. As long as If the head coach of the first team knows how to play Barcelona's tradition, they will become a strong team. But in the league, we will not be afraid of anyone. Nine points? After two rounds of make-up games, there are only three points left. Don¡¯t forget that we still have a home court.¡±
