Chapter 018: It's up to you, brother

Forwards: No. 23 Rondon, No. 23 Juanmi.

Four midfielders: No. 22 Isco, No. 8 Tulalang, No. 12 Cazorla, No. 20 Buonanotte.

Defenders, No. 15 Monreal, No. 3 Veliton, No. 5 Demichelis, No. 2 Gamez.

The goalkeeper is No. 1 Caballero.

Ding Yue looked at this starting lineup and shook his head. If this team is all at their peak, it's really not easy to mess with.

They're not easy to mess with right now....Simeone's starting lineup is also very targeted.

There was no suspense in the goalkeeper, and the number 13 Courtois still started.

On the back side, Simeone showed his stubbornness, five at the back!

No. 21 Peria and No. 2 Godin were mentioned in the starting line-up because they made an excellent impression on Simeone in training. The remaining three are Domingos, Juanfran and Brazilian Felipe, who have previously secured their main positions.

Alda Turan still didn't get the starting left winger position he coveted. Ding Yue sat on the right flank, Gabi and Thiago formed a double midfield, and Diego roamed the opposition half close to the left.

The striker is Simeone's well-known Falcao.

You can go in and out, you can go up and down. This is the idea of Simeone's lineup, when attacking, the two defenders Felipe and Juanfran pressed extremely high, providing manpower and crosses for the attack on the wing, and when defending, they quickly settled into a 541 formation.

Whether any tactic is suitable or not, every team needs to try it to understand.

The same is true of the challenge to the old forces.

As a La Liga upstart, it is obviously unrealistic for Malaga to shout the slogan of chasing Masaka right now, but....chasing the second group of Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla is their goal this season.

If you throw money at it, you have to see a splash.

……

……

La Losaleda Stadium was first established in 1941. During the 1982 World Cup, the stadium was expanded once; In 2000, the team continued to expand the stadium, but the project encountered many setbacks, and it was not until 2006 that the expansion was fully completed, expanding the capacity to 28,693 people. In 2010, the team improved the stadium facilities for the new season, replacing the turf that resembles a vegetable patch, replacing billboards, benches, stereos, repainting railings and stairs, etc.

Last season, Abdullah Alsani, a member of the Qatari royal family, bought a stake in Malaga and became the team's chairman, giving Malaga's fans a Chelsea-esque fantasy.

When Ding Yue stepped into the stadium of La Losaleda, he clearly felt this.

Tsunami-like fans can appear at any stadium, but the shouts of the Malaga fans show their determination to catch up and mock Atletico's loneliness.

"It's up to you, brother. Alda Tulan walked over and stretched out his right hand to squeeze Ding Yue's palm.

Ding Yue nodded.

The performance of himself and Godin and others tonight will have a huge impact on whether Simeone will continue to use the cold bench in the first half of the season. Naturally, Arda Tulan knows this.

It was getting late, and the headlights at the four corners of the stadium illuminated the stadium. Simeone watched everyone on the pitch from the sidelines.

He doesn't like to sit in the dugout and point out. Standing on the sidelines, you can feel the pulse of every minute and every moment of the stadium more clearly, and it also marks that the head coach and the players are together, fighting until the last second.

Atletico Madrid kicks off first. Falcao motioned for Ding Yue to come over.

The scene was noisy, but after the game started, Ding Yue forced himself into a quiet state. Falcao beside him has been thinking about it in fragments, telling Ding Yue not to worry, but those words that seem to be verbose and boring, to a greater extent, just to relieve his own tension.

After the opening, the first attack went to the left, and Thiago's through ball from Falcao was denied by Tulalang.

Gabby's shouting commands kept coming to his ears, character determines fate, and Gabi suddenly became the backbone of this team's midfield. Ding Yue, who stood in front of Juanflan, sometimes followed Isco, sometimes briskly walked down the corridor on the right, avoiding the two pairs of Cazorla and Monreal, who would later reunite at Arsenal.

But every time he came on as a substitute, his teammates still had some distrust of Ding Yue, and the main direction of the ball was always on the left side of Atletico Madrid's attacking direction.

With the game going on for almost fifteen minutes, the cautious Atletico Madrid left Malaga with no good solution, and Atletico Madrid's Falcao in the front court was also a little alone.

"Gabby!Gabby!" Simeone stood in the command area and shouted to Gabby, "Turn around, be flexible, don't just go to the left! Look at Ding Yue's position!"

The vision of the players on the field is naturally not as clear as Simeone on the sidelines, and several times Simeone saw Ding Yue run out of position, but the players in his midfield either didn't see it, or saw it, or turned the ball to the left.

Simeone asked the players to be more cautious about the game, to be serious, to be spirited, but definitely not to stifle their aura, their flashes of inspiration, their adventurous spirit.

No adventure, no gain!

Gabi received instructions from Simeone. But the attack is still a little constipated, without him, there are few people, and Falcao is constantly pulling in the front, but Demichelis has been about two meters by his side, and Diego is on the left side, but the style of play dictates it, and he is more accustomed to pulling back to the middle to pave the way for his teammates, which leads to him and Thiago overlapping positions a lot of times.

It takes a flashpoint, someone who changes the pace of the game.

Ding Yue?

Corner time. Málaga's Isco trotted towards the corner.

Ding Yue ran outside the penalty area line and looked at Tulalang, who was about to wait for a long-range shot outside the penalty area.

"Behind the other party, run to me and give it. ”

Gabby walked up to Ding Yue, covered his mouth and said.

Ding Yue exhaled and finally saw my efforts. Nodding.

From the beginning to the present, in addition to chasing back and assisting in defense, Ding Yue has been working the right side, and when Falcao got the ball in the midfield, he rushed forward, and he pulled it to a place slightly closer to the middle to share the pressure of the midfield, making a point and a wall. When Falcao responded in the middle, he sprinted forward desperately, although he did not hoist the ball once, but all this was watched by Simeone.

Isco's corner was a bit low and was set by Godin at the front post. Corner kick again.

Cazorla gestured at Isco and ran over to exchange penalties.

Cazorla's footwork looked a little better than Isco's, or rather, a little more experienced, and he drove a ball with a very strong curling inside shot near the penalty spot.

Málaga's two centre-backs doubled in on goal, and finally No. 3 Wiston completed a powerful header!

The ball smashed to the ground, smashed into Godin, who was coming back, and bounced in front of the teenager Juanmi! But because he was too close to his body, Juanmi could only use his inner thigh to block the ball towards the goal!

Courtois broke out in a cold sweat, but years of training instinct drove him to stomp on it, and he threw himself to the right side with all his might, grabbing the ball down.

The audience in Malaga hugged their heads in regret and sighed one after another.

Courtois didn't linger on the ground for long, almost the moment he hit the ground, as soon as he grabbed the ball, he held it up, stood up and ran a few steps forward, his eyes constantly watching the position of his team-mate outside the box.

Ding Yue!

Courtois immediately saw Ding Yue, who had thrown off the defender and had already run sideways to the sideline near the sideline on the right side outside the penalty area!

With a precise hand in his right hand to throw the ball, Courtois threw the ball to Ding Yue!

Unloaded the ball with his right foot, Ding Yue ignored the reaction and hurried to catch up with Tulalang.

After more than 20 meters along the sideline, Ding Yue had already reached the vicinity of the middle line. Simeone was less than four meters behind Ding Yue, he didn't make any sound, at this time, it was not a good thing to disturb the player's on-the-spot judgment, he knew this after playing football.

But Monreal and Gamez both fought and retreated with Falcao in the middle, and this ball was naturally better to continue to move forward in Simeone's eyes.

Ding Yue's speed was not slow, even with the ball, he threw off Tulalang two or three meters away from this distance.

Monreal saw it.

He and Games stared at Falcao on the left and right, and Ding Yue naturally would not pass the ball rashly. But at this time, Ding Yue had already taken the ball past half court.

Monreal decided to pounce and interfere with Ding Yue to continue to dribble the ball, plus Tulalang, who kept up, it was best to make a pinch steal, if it didn't work, fighting and retreating could also delay Ding Yue's speed with the ball.

It was less than three or four paces away from Monreal. Ding Yue didn't raise his head during the run, and pushed a diagonal pass with a slight arc directly on the inside of his right foot!

The ball slid past Monreal's side!

When Falcao started, it was in the middle of Monreal and Gamez, and as soon as Monreal left, he was only on the left side of the attack!

The ball was passed very badly!Bypassing Monreal, but there was a point of overlap with Falcao's direction!

Falcao sped up violently!

Got the ball! At this time, Gámez on the left was in an awkward position! Suddenly he was squeezed by Falcao to the outside.

The Colombian Tigers, who got the ball, continued to rush forward, a quasi-single knife!
