Chapter 120 Malaga is Malaga after all

In fact, Malaga's upcoming schedule is indeed quite difficult.

Play Barcelona in the seventh round of the league, then Manchester City in the Champions League group stage, come back to play Levante in the eighth round of the league, Real Madrid in the ninth round, and Vallecano in the tenth round.
The schedule is intensive, and super teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona will also be played during the period.

How to reasonably allocate the physical fitness of the main players is what the coaching staff needs to plan reasonably.

In the end, Pellegrini still decided to dispatch all the main players in the Barcelona game, and to rotate appropriately in the game against Manchester City.

This is of course because the team's two consecutive victories in the Champions League gave Pellegrini confidence, and the media was right about one thing.

For Pellegrini.

The league is what matters.

He is well aware of the difficulty of breaking through in the Champions League.

Although the chances of the league are not great, at least, if the team can stay healthy. In the marathon of the league to bite Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​who knows what will happen at the end of the season?
Before the game, many media were speculating on Malaga's choice, which was different from teams like Barcelona.

Malaga's starters and substitutes are really two grades.

Barcelona midfield rotation Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta.

They can also send out a midfield combination such as Fabregas, Mascherano and Thiago.

What is a cosmic team (tactical retreat).
This is something that Malaga can't match at all. Most of the time, for a small team like Malaga, switching to the second lineup is equivalent to giving up the game.
This match at Camp Nou.

When Malaga's main players made their debut, in the media audience, the reporters all said that Malaga was still very sensible and not crazy.

But
Can Malaga with all the main players win against Barcelona?

"Xavi, Busquets and Villa are all back from injury, this game is our chance for revenge!"

"Whether Malaga is the main force does not make much sense"

The Catalan players in the media gallery looked arrogant.

But looking at Barcelona's lineup, they clearly have the capital of arrogance:
Goalkeeper Valdes.

Central defender Pique partnered with Puyol, left back Alves, right back Abidal, midfielder Harvey, Busquets, and Iniesta started together for the first time this season. , Sanchez, Villa, Messi trident.

On the bench, there are Mascherano, Fabregas, Thiago, Pedro and other players.

Before the game, the Catalan media was hyping revenge, wanting to avenge last season at Camp Nou.

With a drive for vengeance.

Barcelona's players put a lot of pressure on this game, relying on their skilled ball-handling skills and stronger overall strength to suppress Malaga.

At this time, of course, there is no such emotion in Barcelona that underestimates Malaga.

If Malaga double-killed Real Madrid last season, sank the Nou Camp, defeated AC Milan at home this season, and narrowly beat Bayern Munich in the away game, if Barcelona's players still underestimate the enemy, it would be a bit disappointing.

Therefore, Barcelona, ​​who started the game with the determination to deal with a team like Real Madrid, is terrible.

For the first time this season, Malaga were completely out of breath.

Barcelona launched consecutive attacks on the pitch, making the atmosphere at the Nou Camp extremely warm.

However, it was Malaga who scored first in this game!

Game No.208 minutes.

Ye Luo dribbled the ball along the wing.

At the edge of the penalty area, the arch of his right foot pushed the ball to the other side. While pushing the ball, Ye Luo also made a lifting movement, which gave the football a spin and changed the trajectory of the football on the turf. An outward turning arc just bypassed Pique's defense and found Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, who was ambushing on the other side.

Van Nistelrooy is coming of age.

But consciousness and shooting skills are becoming more and more perfect.

He ran to the position immediately and shot with his kick.

The football stuck to the turf, rubbed against the post, and got into the goal.

This shot was quite tricky.

Valdez's reaction was already very fast. He quickly fell to the ground to save, but still failed to touch the football.

Malaga leads [-]-[-] away! !
Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal silenced the enthusiastic Camp Nou a lot.

Malaga therefore returned to midfield with a one-to-nil lead.

But the second half.

Guardiola dispatched troops.

He first replaced Xavi who had just returned from injury with Cesc Fabregas, and then replaced Villa who also failed to find the feeling after returning from injury with Pedro, and pushed Messi to the center forward position. Pedro and Sanchez alternated positions to play left and right.

This substitution adjustment quickly brought Barcelona a goal.

The game is 3 minutes.

Messi pulled it out of the penalty area, received a pass from Iniesta at the top of the penalty area and crossed it to Fabregas. Fabregas led the ball into the penalty area and stepped on the ball with his heel. Messi volleyed directly with his left foot!
The football flew into the goal against the lower edge of the crossbar! !
This cooperation is pleasing to the eye, tacit cooperation, and full of imagination.

Although Cesc Fabregas played for the first team at Arsenal, he is a player who came out of La Masia's youth training camp after all. He is a child of Messi, Pique and others who also grew up in La Masia. Friends from time to time, so after arriving at Barcelona this season, I quickly integrated into it.

Barceloan continued to attack aggressively after equalizing the score.

Game No.608 minutes.

Barcelona's second penalty area has arrived.

Andres Iniesta's long shot from distance on the penalty line gave Barcelona another point.

This goal silenced the diehard Malaga fans who the visiting team liked.

It is indeed too difficult to face a 100% Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

A first-half lead led Malaga fans to think they could beat Barcelona at Camp Nou again.

But now the bloody reality is in front of us.

No team can win forever.

Barcelona cannot.

Neither can Malaga.

Accepting failure is part of football
Malaga fans sat in the stands dejectedly.

"Malaga conceded another goal, and they were reversed by Barcelona. Malaga's style of play this season is actually pursuing control and attacking the frontcourt, but this game has played so far, and Malaga's midfielder can't do it at all. Compared with Barcelona's midfielder, they are far behind Barcelona in terms of ball possession rate, and Malaga only got 36% of the ball possession rate, which is far lower than their ball possession rate in previous games." On the commentary, The narrator Andres said.

The camera shot was given to Pellegrini who was frowning on the sidelines.

"Malaga's state was excellent last season. They only scored five points in the No. 13 round of the league. From the No. 14 round of the league, they scored crazy points all the way, and finally won the league No. 3. They The state of this season is also very good, the league has five wins and one draw, and the Champions League has won two epic victories. However, now at the Nou Camp, Malaga is behind and they are likely to get their first defeat of the season. "Yes," Andres said, shaking his head.

not far away.

The Catalan commentator shouted with one arm: "Barcelona! Ooooh! Barcelona!! Ooooh! We are Barcelona!! We are the invincible Barcelona!!"

The cheers from the entire Camp Nou almost toppled the roof of the stadium.

Can't blame the Barcelona people for being so excited.

For Barcelona.

This game is indeed a battle of revenge.

from their perspective.

If it weren't for the "accidental" loss to Malaga at the Nou Camp last season.

Nor does their league title race need to last until the final round of the league.
Ye Luo frowned.

He felt powerless again.

Facing Barcelona's possession tactics, Malaga's press seemed to hit the cotton, and Ye Luo didn't get much possession of the ball himself.

And Malaga's own pass control also seemed a bit out of shape because they didn't get many ball possession opportunities in this game.

Ye Luo looked at the sidelines.

Pellegrini was gesturing to him.

Ye Luo nodded towards the sidelines and returned to the midfield.

As the game resumed, Malaga began to surround Ye Luo and pass the ball.

Ye Luo's range of activities has expanded.

He constantly opened up space in the midfield, and when Malaga's players couldn't find a passing line, they looked for Ye Luo's position!
The defensive pressure around Ye Luo is great.

But whether it is Busquets or Fabregas, or Iniesta.

Or the two Barcelona full-backs who came up on the premise, and Pedro and Sanchez who returned to the forward line to help press.

He failed to snatch the ball from Ye Luo's feet, and at most it was a foul.

In the 70nd minute of game No.[-], after receiving the pass, Ye Luo was blocked by Fabregas and Busquets. Ye Luo fell to the ground, but the ball was not taken away. Fabregas fouled.

1 minute later, almost the same way, this time it was the cooperation of Alves and Sanchez, but still failed to complete the interception, Ye Luo's ball protection was too stable, their outstretched feet could only trip Ye Luo .

Another foul!
With Ye Luo's efforts.

Malaga finally stabilized the situation after conceding two goals in a row.

in the stands.

Malaga fans were moved.

They are ashamed of their previous depression.

"Ye is still working hard! We are really ashamed."

"Isn't it just one goal behind? We must shout! We must let the players hear us!!"

"come on! Come on!"

The fans encouraged each other.

soon.

In the away stands, the cheers of the Malaga fans broke out again.

Although in the Nou Camp, there are more than 6000 Barcelona fans.

The voice of three thousand Malagasy is so insignificant.

However, their cheers were like tenacious shoots emerging from the cracks in the rocks, standing proudly in the sunshine.

Either win or lose.

They have to tell the players too.

We are together.

You don't give up.

We will not give up either! !

Yello catches the ball again, this time it's Messi trying to steal it from under him, but Yello puts Messi behind him for the first time, Messi misses the ball and tries to take advantage of Messi on the other side Abidal, who stole the ball when Xi and Ye Luo were fighting, stretched out his foot to hook the ball, but the football was pulled away by Ye Luo at the first time. Just when Ye Luo was about to take the ball to speed up, Abidal made a tactical foul.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Messi stretched out his hand to Ye Luo and pulled Ye Luo up.

Messi suddenly said: "I won the La Liga title and the Champions League title last season, do you know why, Ye?"

Ye Luo froze for a moment, then looked at Messi suspiciously.

He just wanted to send it quickly.

Now in a daze, the opportunity to send out quickly is gone.

He glanced at Messi in displeasure. He really didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can also play trash talk tactics.

"You are amazing, you are awesome." Ye Luo said angrily.

Messi laughed, he shook his head, and said: "No! Ye, you are also very strong, maybe you are about to surpass me."

Seeing that Ye Luo frowned, Messi made a long story short: "It's because of my teammates, my team! You know what I mean? I don't need to be like you. From the frontcourt to the midfield, trying to support the whole ball Team!"

"It can't be done, Ye. Football." Messi patted Ye Luo on the shoulder, "Football is a sport for eleven people."

Seeing Ye Luo turn his head.

Messi said seriously: "Join us, we can win all championships."

Ye Luo smiled: "Leo, you are too cunning."

Seeing Messi's face froze for a moment.

"What you said just now delayed us for more than 30 seconds!"

As Ye Luo said, he bent down, held down the ball, and kicked it out quickly.

"What did you tell him?"

Iniesta leaned over.

Messi shook his head: "I didn't say anything."

Iniesta watched Ye Luo get the ball again, and frowned slightly.

I saw Ye Luo pass Abidal with a fried ball, quickly dribbled forward, and was fouled by Puyol who came up 30 meters from the goal-Puyol also got a point Yellow card.

Both Messi and Iniesta had a bad feeling.

really.

Ye Luo blasted a super world wave with this long-range free kick.

Sent the ball into Barcelona's goal and equalized the score.

This is also the score at the end of the game.

Two to two.

Malaga drew with Barcelona away.

Malaga suffered two consecutive draws.

The most happy with this result is Real Madrid.

Mourinho's team won again, after they beat Atletico Madrid [-]-[-] away and won this crucial Madrid derby.

They had seven league games, six wins and one tie, and they scored [-] points to dominate the rankings!

And Malaga slipped to No.2 because of this draw, they had five wins, two draws and seventeen points.

Barcelona had four wins and three draws, scoring fifteen points.

No.4 Real Betis and Valencia have four wins, one draw and two losses. Atletico Madrid lost the Madrid derby and slipped from fourth to sixth.
Real Madrid are the favorites to win the title.

And Malaga, which suffered two consecutive draws in the league, was also bad-mouthed by many media, who believed that it was time for them to return to "normal levels".

These two draws are proof.

After the game.

When interviewing Ye Luo, a reporter asked: "Ye, do you still think that Malaga's goal is the La Liga champion? You are already two points behind Real Madrid."

The game was evenly scored, and Ye Luo was naturally quite upset. He looked at the reporter and said, "Oh, I thought we were behind by [-] points."

With that said, he turned and left.

Some journalists in Madrid are very comfortable.

Looking at Ye Luo's back, they couldn't help smiling.

"The guy is strong, but Malaga is Malaga after all."

"You still want to win the championship? In the words of their Dragon Kingdom, what is it called?"

"Toad wants to eat!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"I bet the next game is when they lose!"

"To play Manchester City away, Malaga may not be able to send all the main players."

"I'm looking forward to the moment when they are dragged down by the Champions League!"

"They will play Real Madrid when they come back!"

"What a pity."

Ye Luo frowned when he heard the laughter behind him.

"Ding! Activate the side mission: [The Crisis of Lianglianping]"

Side quests?

The activation of this task system is really quite random.
