Chapter 38: This is Damn Hell
All the Galatasaray players, after seeing José's move, felt a burning pain on their faces.
When the angry jeers from the stands surged like a tidal wave toward the away team's bench, all the Galatasaray players simultaneously felt a surge of intense anger!
This also made Terim, who had originally planned to wait and assess the opponent's weaknesses before making a move, abandon his initial idea—he knew his players well. If he told them to slow down now, it would only diminish the anger that had been ignited inside them and further affect their performance!
Although Terim had a good grip on Galatasaray, he knew that he couldn't force this wild stallion to be tamed. Instead, he had to use its momentum, trying to direct it in the way he wanted.
So, after the game restarted, Galatasaray launched an even fiercer attack, pressing Mallorca tightly into their half once more.
Mallorca, on the other hand, resumed their tight defense.
Everything seemed like a repeat of the first twenty minutes of the match, except now, with an away goal in hand, Mallorca's defense was even more resolute and thorough!
Previously, Mallorca's two forwards and Ibagasa had been positioned higher up the field, but now, Ibagasa had started to drop back into defense, and even Eto'o was helping with defensive duties on the left wing. Only Tristan remained up front as a lone target!
Against Galatasaray's furious attack, Mallorca's defense held strong, forcing the opponent's offense to crash against their defenses in frustration!
