After the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, all the European media lamented - Mallorca was indeed very strong before, but it was not as strong as this. What is terrible is that Barcelona also showed In order to be able to be on par or even slightly superior to Mallorca - they are one point ahead of Mallorca in the league, and also entered the quarterfinals like Mallorca in the Champions League and ranked first in the quarter-finals. They took a big lead in the round and also entered the final of the King's Cup.
If Barcelona can get past Mallorca, they may also become the Triple Crown champions
In such a terrifying half zone, both Mallorca and Barcelona were able to achieve such brilliant results. Looking at the other half zone, facing a team whose strength is obviously one level worse, Manchester United was defeated by Porto 2-2 at home. -A draw, and Arsenal also drew 1-1 with Villarreal away from home. If Mallorca and Barcelona enter the semi-finals, then this is not a semi-final. It is simply a two-game final. ¡
The fans of Mallorca are quite happy. There seems to be no problem in entering the semi-finals. Mallorca has entered the semi-finals of the Champions League for seven consecutive years. This achievement seems to have not been achieved by any team, even Real Madrid. When they won six championships in seven years, they also failed to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League the year they didn't win the championship
In the next round of the league, Mallorca only needs to win the opponent to tie the winning streak set by Real Madrid. Another thing that has been overlooked before is that Mallorca has not lost this season. However, they are now unbeaten in 29 rounds this season. In addition to the eight unbeaten games at the end of last season, they have now completed a record of 37 unbeaten games, which is far away from the 38 games created by Real Sociedad. The undefeated record is only one game away
Mallorca is going crazy
With one more win, they can tie two records, a La Liga winning streak record and a La Liga unbeaten record. With two more wins, they can break two records, a La Liga winning streak record and a La Liga unbeaten record.
Jose was also surprised by this result - this can be seen from the fact that he didn't say anything before. He didn't even calculate Mallorca's current winning record and unbeaten record - the winning streak maybe he He had thought about it. After all, they had won fourteen games in a row. It would be strange not to think about it. However, the unbeaten record He didn't even know how many games the previous unbeaten record in La Liga had
Now that Mallorca is about to get close to these two records, the media is naturally discussing the situation of these two records. Jose also ran to check, and then he found that Real Sociedad's unbeaten record was in two seasons. Created in , they failed to win the league championship in these two seasons, and the games were indeed 38 rounds - but before that, there were two teams in La Liga that had reached the level of unbeaten in the season, respectively 29- Athletic Bilbao in the 1930 season and Real Madrid in the 1931-32 season. However, La Liga had just emerged at that time, and there were only more than 20 league rounds in a season. Therefore, although they created an unbeaten record in the season, the unbeaten record was not President of Real Sociedad/./
And now, Mallorca is infinitely close to these two records
"Such a record although it is a bit boring, but it can still be taken. Even if it is not always remembered by others, it will be pulled out of the pile of old papers and talked about from time to time" Jose said to his players with a smile.
Considering that the advantage of defeating Chelsea in the first round was too great, Jose made a big move and sent out a mixed lineup of half main team and half substitute in the next round of the league. The attackers in the frontcourt were changed, but the backcourt was Still retains the main lineup
Their opponent, Almeria, walked into the Conch Stadium with high morale - in fact, their pressure was not very high. If they could block Mallorca, then they would be praised by everyone. If they failed to block, they would not There is a big shadow - they are not a traditional strong team, and they do not have much pride in having to stop Mallorca's winning streak. But now their results are good, firmly ranked in the middle, and there is no danger of relegation. It is unlikely that they will enter the European competition. This game is a good opportunity for them to show themselves. Just like last season when they blocked Real Madrid and Mallorca, they stole the limelight. Sheng Gu is happy to lose.
Teams with this kind of mentality are often able to perform extremely well on the court. This is the case with Almeria now.
They defended very steadily and in a well-organized manner. When counterattacking, they would attack faster when they had the opportunity. If they didn't have the opportunity, they would attack step by step. Their purpose was just to cause trouble. The more they caused, the more they would be able to gain from their opponents. respect
Now Mallorca respects this opponent very much. They use constant back and forth passes to find opportunities.??This is Almeria, not Chelsea. They don't have much need to attack. If you want to pass it, pass it. We don't come out very much anyway, and we will never expose the gap behind us to you.
Facing such an iron walnut, no one has much to do. Mallorca's players attack very seriously, but it is difficult to get too many opportunities - they have really begun to respect this opponent now, and this opponent has shown They are admired for their ability. At least when facing opponents who are much stronger than them, they are neither arrogant nor impetuous, step by step, and have no psychological fluctuations at all. This is a rare quality.
At the end of the first half, the score was zero to zero. After returning to the dressing room, Jose did not blame the team. Instead, he highly praised the performance of the players and also praised the opponent's performance: "You performed very well, the opponent It was a great performance. It was a respectable game. You know what I thought? This game was worthy of us trying to tie two great records. No records come easily. And it is the same now. What we have to do is to defeat our opponents in such a respectable game and tie two respectable records. The best way to respect our opponents is to defeat them in an upright offense and let our The glory becomes even more dazzling.¡±
Jose¡¯s words made Mallorca¡¯s players begin to face the next game with high morale. They began to attack patiently and look for opportunities
In the 61st minute, Mallorca finally found an opportunity in its tireless attack. After a series of kicks, Henry immediately distributed the ball to the wing. Puerta, who advanced forward, forced his way into the opponent's penalty area. Then he quickly passed the ball back, and Henry followed up and sent the ball into the dead center of the goal. Mallorca finally broke the deadlock.
The Mallorca fans in the stands gave a huge cheer and showed their respect for Almeria's performance. In this case, Mallorca still took the lead, which makes them proud. one thing
After Mallorca took the lead, the next thing was much simpler. Although Almeria did not give up on the offense, they were more open than before and gave Mallorca more opportunities. Nesta received Alonso's overhead pass and went straight in to expand the lead to two goals, and Mallorca secured the victory.
When the final whistle sounded, the excited voice of the on-site commentator rang through the entire sky: "The great Mallorca, 2-0, has won fifteen consecutive games and is undefeated in thirty-eight games while tying two records. If they continue to win in the next round of the league, Mallorca will set two records. Let us cheer for the great Mallorca who will never stop moving forward."
"Let us continue to win. The longer the record, the better." After the game, the Mallorca fans did not rush to leave. Jose came to the field and used a temporary microphone. Saying such a sentence immediately aroused huge cheers in the stadium again.
The process of tying the record may be a bit hard, but then, the journey to Mallorca will be a bit smoother
In the following midweek, due to the considerable advantage at home, Jose also sent all his main players in the away game, but he adopted an open style of play and played against the opponent - Chelsea had no choice. , in the end the two sides played offensive football and scored a lot of goals - Mallorca's Torres, Kak¨¢, Puerta and Iniesta all scored, while Chelsea's Ashe scored Leigh Cole, Drogba, Lampard and Joe Cole, Mallorca finally tied with Chelsea 4-4 in the away game and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals for five consecutive years.
Barcelona drew 1-1 with Bayern on the road and entered the semi-finals of the Champions League without a fight. The competition between Mallorca and Barcelona this season has reached a climax - the Champions League on April 29. In the first game of the semi-finals, Mallorca will face Barcelona away from home. In the second game of the Champions League semi-finals on May 7, Mallorca will face Barcelona at home. In the 36th round of the league on May 18, Mallorca will face Barcelona at home.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the two sides playing three consecutive games in a week, such a decisive battle, who can laugh at the end, and win the league and Champions League championships is almost a sure thing - Barcelona is now only one point ahead of Mallorca. There will be a fierce confrontation between the two sides in the Champions League semi-finals. In the other half, although Manchester United and Arsenal both defeated their opponents in the second round to enter the semi-finals, the English teams have shown great performance this season regardless of their status. Ability, but it seems completely incomparable to Mallorca and Barcelona
Whether Mallorca or Barcelona enter the final, winning this final will not be too difficult. Manchester United was defeated by Mallorca in the first two seasons, and with their characteristics, it seems difficult to beat the current team. BarcelonaThat
Jose doesn't care much about this result. If they want to get the remaining two honors this season, then Barcelona is their inevitable opponent. Next, Jose cares about the following round of the league. As long as they win , they will be able to create two records in the world
Mallorca¡¯s next opponent is Malaga
Although it was an away challenge, this game was much easier than the previous home game against Almeria. When Juan called Jose before the game, he just said depressedly: "Oh my god, you have to be merciful." Ah, don¡¯t beat me too badly"
The same is true for the competition process
Although Guissa, Negredo and Pedro Le¨®n also want to perform well in front of their old club, Malaga is still in the middle of the pack this season, but its overall strength is still a bit worse. The midfielder once helped Malaga equalize the score, but Torres's two goals in the second half still allowed Mallorca to defeat the opponent 3-1 in the away game, allowing Mallorca to set two records.
