Volume 5 Chapter 12 Calderón's debut
Flaming red sneakers, stepping on the green field.
With a "boom", Calderón's nearly 60,000 fans erupted in unimaginable cheers, as many people in Spain loved him as many people hated him, because he took away Spain's closest chance to the World Cup, but this does not include the southwest of Madrid.
In this slum area of Madrid, countless fans see him as a savior, expecting him to write a new glorious chapter just like he did in Liverpool.
Because this is the territory of Atletico Madrid, at the beginning of another decade of the 21st century, the fans of the Sheets Army are like dreams, witnessing the miraculous changes of the team, first the arrival of the local tyrants, then the arrival of Mark, and then the stars running into the bowl as if they don't want money.
Their home stadium is located in Poseidon Square, and now these sons of Poseidon want to let out their most angry roar like a tsunami to show their existence.
It was close to 12 a.m. Beijing time, but tens of millions of fans were patiently waiting for the TV or online broadcast in anticipation of Mackin's debut in nearly five months.
The sun was still slanting on the pitch at 3 p.m., and the signal was officially transmitted to the rest of the world, with players from both teams already lined up to take pictures, and the game was about to begin.
With all La Liga matches having to make way for the Spanish national derby to be played in the evening, Atletico Madrid's match was deliberately scheduled for the afternoon, which is not common in Spain, but it is a boon for fans at home.
No. 18 with black broken hair and red sneakers was unusually conspicuous in the queue, "Mr. Ma, it's Mr. Ma", "Mr. Ma is on the field", and there was a burst of cheers.
"Best M Eighteen", "Best M Eighteen", Mackin's new sneaker has become the best nickname for the fans here to cheer him on, yes, the best number 18, which is about to be staged here.
"Audience friends, audience friends", Zhan Jun's subdued voice sounded again, he has now become the queen commentator of the platform Mackin game, "In the 14th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid's home match against Espanyol is about to start, and everyone is waiting to see Mr. Ma's La Liga debut......"
Not only domestically, the media and reporters who flocked to the sidelines and stands today are not expected to be much less than the Spanish derby, and Macqin's La Liga debut, of course, is full of topics.
Carlo Ancelotti and Mauricio Pochettino shook hands and walked to their respective dugouts, but the Spaniard, who had just started his coaching career for a year, did not notice that a pair of black eyes were staring at him in surprise.
To be honest, for the Espanyol team, who have been mixed in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga all year round, except that they are also from Catalonia and know that there was once a bald midfielder soul de la Pena, Mackin really doesn't know anything about them.
Even the pre-match tactical lesson only analysed the Spaniard's usual style of play, but it was not noticed that their manager was actually Pochettino, who would lead Tottenham's rise in the future, and he is clearly a newcomer to the coaching world, so there is nothing to be noticed.
It's a little interesting, Mackin thought, after the appearance ceremony, he turned around and walked to his own half, ready to start the game, later as a fan of course he knows that as Argentina's rising stars the two most famous coaches Simeone and Pochettino, in common, both emphasize pressing against pressing, and the style is tough.
In the previous life, Atletico Madrid, Pochettino's Southampton, and Tottenham were all like this, so the Spaniards in today's game are estimated to be no exception.
"Today, Mr. Ma's position should be in the middle of the midfield?" Zhan Jun said uncertainly, "Ancelotti put a smoke bomb before the game, and when the reporter asked him how he was going to arrange Mackqin's position, he replied that Mackin would arrange his position on the field by himself, and all I needed to do was send him on the field."
"Hehe", Zhang Lu said with a smile, "That being said, we see that the back he removed today is Martinez, the rookie of the Spanish national team has been eye-catching this season"
"It is estimated that in view of the Spaniard's attacking power, there is no need to play three midfielders, Gabi and Raul Garcia are enough to sit in the back, and Raul Garcia will still run to the right midfield position when attacking"
"The front court is still Aguero, Forlan, Mata, well, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began, Atletico Madrid took the lead, attacking from right to left, today's sunshine, the first half seems to be a bit dazzling for Atletico Madrid......"
The first time the fiery red sneakers touched the ball, the audience erupted in the most violent cheers, as if the greatest enthusiasm that had been late for a long time was dedicated to the No. 18 on the field.
Just to welcome him!
As expected, the Spaniard maintained a tight formation and began to press fiercely in central midfield, and Marc walked down the back a few times to make Ancelotti seem to see Pirlo.
Organization, what Atletico Madrid lacks most in his eyes now is organization, organization is not passing the ball, this is the front court of Mata, Forlan and even Aguero can do it, organization is to make the team a whole, let the style of play form a continuation, so that the attack is as orderly as a wave.
With Mackqin's back and forth, Atletico Madrid slowly pressed up, and if you look at it from the wide-angle lens, Atletico Madrid formed a 2341 formation, with the fullbacks pressing forward, Forlan retreating to the front, and then their first attack formed a goal.
Mack didn't slow his pace too fast at first, and when he first appeared on the field after five months, he had to find a feeling not only for himself, but also for his teammates to slowly adapt.
"Macqin, a big foot pass to Juanfran on the right side, the Spaniards' defensive formation is still very good, and they follow very closely", Zhan Jun said, "The ball returned to the feet of the back Gabi, and Mr. Ma retreated again, oops, suddenly passed straight to Forlan"
Marques, the back who had just returned with Mackin was directly pierced in the crotch, and he just wanted to turn his head when he felt a gust of wind running past him, and the red boots even had the feeling of making Mackin step on Hot Wheels.
Such a sudden change in rhythm has been seen countless times in Ma Qin's body, but there are still many people who have been recruited, and there will be no less in the future.
In Mack's absence, the ball-taking organization mainly relied on Mata and Forlan, and now that Mackin is back, their role has become that of attackers.
He looked at Sergio Aguero in the box, but he struck a diagonal shot like a planned route to Spain's right flank, where their right-back was being taken straight back into the box by Mata.
"Oh ......", the stadium suddenly exclaimed, no one noticed, when the ball passed, there was no space suddenly appeared a large blank, like everyone was avoiding the ball, except for the left wing-back Felipe.
"Don't look at people passing, Mr. Ma's current coquettishness is simply amazing", Zhan Jun shouted, "Felipe, he plugged in at high speed, this is an opportunity"
The Spaniard, who was positioned in the main defence, was suddenly torn out of space on both wings, and Felipe, who was running wildly, was very crisp, catching up with the ball and smashing his foot into a forward cross.
The so-called forward cross is that the ball is sent in an arc to bypass all the opponent's defenders, generally at a waist-high level, so that it is convenient for the striker to grab the point after landing in the penalty area.
"Good ball, Espanyol is dangerous, Aguero, oops, goalkeeper Kameni crosses in front of the goal, Aguero saves the ...... in the back", exclaimed Zhan Jun.
"Oh ......", the huge regret in the stands has not yet landed, "bang", facing the falling ball outside the penalty area, a red left foot to meet the ball is a volley, a white light directly grazed the crossbar and flew out of bounds.
"Oh ......", "......", first louder exclamations, then a tidal wave of applause, "Mr. Ma's long-range volley from outside the penalty area, slightly over the crossbar, he almost scored his first goal in Spain, less than 4 minutes into the game"
Mark Qin shook his head, and used his hand to block the sunlight that the angle thief hated, he was shaken just now, and the best state of the body of the long-lost battle formation did not come back, otherwise he could hit this kind of ball within the range of the goal before.
"Mr. Ma organized a very threatening attack at the beginning and almost scored by himself, and it seems that he is in very good shape after a five-month break," Zhan Jun said happily.
"How do I think Mr. Ma is now playing more and more masters......", someone on the Internet suddenly bubbled.
"That's it, a leisurely stroll, a steady B"
Next, Mackin felt the biggest difference in the Spanish league, the Spaniards kicked a short goal kick, and they also played up with a board at their feet, and Atletico Madrid was not polite at home, and immediately launched a press in the midfield.
In any case, people are really not panicked in the face of pressing, how to pass and how to pass, and the ball is hit in the midfield with three plays and five divided by two, but how to say it, it is a little less creative, which may also be the biggest gap between the middle and lower technical teams and the top technical teams.
Mack Qin stepped into the midfield area, and the Spaniard fell a few feet left and right in midfield, easily sending the ball to his feet, and he stuck the route in front of Real Madrid's academy striker Callejon.
"Mr. Ma, he broke the ball, the long pass ......", Zhan Jun's voice didn't even keep up with the speed of the ball's flight, it was too sudden.
Just look at the Spaniard in the blue and white quiver shirt is still engaged in cooperating, and then the red sneakers suddenly appear on the rolling path of the ball, and the second kick is a fatal long pass!
The ball flew up with a "whew" and flew directly over the back line and back line that Espanyol were still in attacking mode, and a large gap in the backfield.
"Aguero ......", with a shout from Zhan Jun, a red and white figure inserted in the back directly crossed the last line of defense of blue and white and chased straight to the ball.
"Woo......", the fans in the stands have raised their hands to their shoulders, ready to jump and cheer, and Kameni's decision to abandon the goal did not stop Aguero from sprinting.
I saw him flick the outside of his right foot directly, and then strode past the goalkeeper who fell to the ground, and then caught up with the ball and pushed straight into the empty goal!
When the alien Ronaldo was at Barcelona, his favorite person was De la Pena, who had just made his debut at that time, because his through ball was a scalpel, which was the favorite way of passing the ball for speed strikers.
Now that Sergio Aguero is finally feeling that happiness, the wind plugs in, the wind changes direction, and then the ball goes in, there is no easier way.
“Goaaaaaaaaaal…… lololololo......, A...... Kui...... Luo ......", Calderón's live broadcast suddenly shouted wildly, and the fans in the stands finally raised their hands, "Boom"
"The ball went in, the ball went in, Mr. Ma's scalpel-like long pass over the top, Aguero did it in one fell swoop, the goal came too suddenly, and the Spaniards paid the price for their careless passing......", Zhan Jun exclaimed.
Carlo Ancelotti stood up and clapped in celebration, a way he has seen goals in AC Milan countless times, when it was Andrea Pirlo who passed the ball and Kaka in front of him or Inzaghi.
"It's too easy, it's too easy, the Spaniard's resistance didn't last more than 10 minutes", Zhan Jun continued to shout, "Ma made his debut less than ten minutes and gave the team an assist to take the lead......"
Aguero excitedly opened his arms and galloped in celebration, followed by Mackin close behind......
