The home stadium of Malaga is located in the center of Malaga, and the name is very picturesque, called Estadio Larosaleda, which translates to the Rose Garden Stadium, and it is not known whether it was a rose garden before.

The Rose Garden Stadium is not unknown, and it also hosted three matches in the '82 World Cup. Jackson and Pique's wife Shakira have all held concerts here.

On the night of the second leg, the Rose Garden Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 30,000 fans, was packed.

For many Malaga fans, this night may be the swan song of their lifetime in the Champions League.

Málaga's predecessor, Atletico Malaga, has gone bankrupt, and no one can say where the future of Málaga is, and their team lost 0:2 in the first leg before this game.

Fans put up all sorts of slogans, insulting the management and the hateful Qatari tycoons, but it was useless.

Pellegrini looked at everything in front of him, and shook his head imperceptibly, these football players hurt the fans in the end, the power of the fans is too weak, and they can't have too much influence on the team's decision-making, not to mention that the fans are not necessarily right, and football still needs professionals to deal with it.

"Maybe I'll have to leave in the summer!" Manuel Pellegrini is already thinking about the summer.

Don't look at his hard mouth and clear attitude in the press conference before the game, thinking that the team still has the possibility of qualifying, but deep down Pellegrini has actually given up on this game, and he knows that Malaga cannot compete with the opponent.

Manchester City was almost impeccable when Pellegrini was speechless, especially in defence, which really made him helpless, which was an important reason for Pellegrini to feel that the team had said goodbye to this season's Champions League early.

He also knows that when he can't restrain the opponent's tactics, the best thing to do is to play his own characteristics, and stop thinking too much about restraining the opponent's offensive and defensive system, but the facts of the last game told him that it is difficult for Malaga to play his own characteristics.

"You're such a nice guy!" Seeing the young Wensheng again, Pellegrini couldn't help but feel a little jealous and blurted out.

"Thank you, I hope it's a good night!" Wen Sheng paused for a moment, then smiled.

He and Pei Gong are not very familiar with each other, and they don't speak each other's language well, so after saying this, the two quickly said goodbye.

Watching Wen Sheng go away, Pellegrini was a little puzzled, he felt that he was so old and how could he not be as good as the young Wen Sheng, could there really be a genius?

He has also coached Real Madrid, and knows that big clubs are not so easy to manage, Wen Sheng is so young, how can he manage a team like Manchester City in an orderly manner?!

Pei Gong also doesn't want to think that Manchester City is definitely not Real Madrid, on the contrary, the current Manchester City is more like the yellow submarine Villarreal that he once managed. Guangxi

During the Villarreal period, Pei Gong was also a role to say with the support of the top, and Riquelmedo was loved by the fans?! That Peigong said that he was masturbated or jerked off!

Of course, what is more important is that Real Madrid is a membership system, Manchester City and Villarreal are privately owned, and the support of the owner is the sky, and the fans are helpless no matter how much they jump.

Málaga have been relatively neat lately, with Manuel Pellegrini not playing 442 on his home turf this time, but using 4231.

Caballero is still the goalkeeper, Demichelis and Weligeton are still the central defenders, Antunes and Gamez are on the left and right, Tulalang and Itura are in the defensive position in the midfield, Baptista is in the middle, Joaquín and Isco are left and right, and the center forward is Saviola.

Compared to the first leg at the Etihad, Málaga did not make much changes to their squad, they did not make too many reinforcements in the summer, and there were really not many people available on the bench, and it is quite good that Pellegrini can lead the team to this extent.

The performance of Santa Cruz in the last game was not good, and in this game Pellegrini used Saviola, who is no longer as brave as he used to be, but this is also one of the few cards in Pellegrini's hand, and he must make good use of it, and this season Saviola has also made more than 20 appearances under Pellegrini, scoring six goals for the team.

Santa Cruz has not performed well under Van Dijksavić's pack, so the manager should weigh it up and think differently.

On Manchester City's side, the starting goalkeeper was replaced by Keylor Navas, Zabaleta, Van Dijk, Kompany and Kolarov in the backline, Melo and Milner in the midfield, Silva in the front, De Bruyne on the right, Nasri on the left, and Sergio Aguero in the forward position.

Manchester City has also suffered a bit of injury problems in the past two days, Toure was injured in training, Dzeko was injured in the last game, these two were absent in this game, and there is a certain problem for Wensheng's lineup, Toure's absence may have a big impact, I don't know if Milner will be able to complete Wensheng's task arrangement.

The task of equalising was heavy for Malaga, but after the opening game, Malaga did not directly press out and launch a fierce attack on Manchester City's position.

For Manuel Pellegrini, the game was all a pit and the situation was completely in City's favour.

If his team invests too much energy in attack, the back line is bound to be empty, Manchester City's ability to seize opportunities from defense to attack is still quite strong, there are many good passers in the team, and if you don't make a counterattack, you will score, then this game is absolutely hellish for Malaga.

But if he doesn't put too much energy into the attack, then Manchester City's defense is not covered, he can guess two goals in hand, how can Wen Sheng play against himself at the Rose Garden Stadium?! He wouldn't have done that if he had changed.

The attack must be attacked, but the defense cannot be ignored, so the strategy adopted by Pellegrini is to compete with Manchester City for possession, keep the formation compact, gradually push forward to press back Manchester City's attacking arrows, and then rely on small passes between the players in the front field or a flash of inspiration to create chances.

Peigong's thinking is very clear and feasible.

So after the start of the game, the two sides were entangled in the midfield, and the meaning of Saviola was very clear, he felt that Saviola's technical ability was more outstanding, and his passing and ball control ability was good, so Malaga's style of play was inevitably unlikely to be based on crossing, and would be based on pass control.

Wen Sheng also wants to control this game, wants to relieve the pressure on the defense through control, Manchester City wants to control, Malaga also wants to control, and the two sides naturally have to fight hard for the ball in the midfield.
