As He Wei said.

Malaga did not occupy the initiative on the field, and Isco's mentality was unbalanced, blindly burying his head in the ball and forcing shots, wasting Málaga's rare counterattack opportunity, which made Malaga even more passive.

They were already behind in the scoreline and they needed to equalise as soon as possible to boost their morale. Isco, who was supposed to be the team's explosive point, became the team's offensive finisher and squandered his chances, which was too demoralizing.

At the end of the first half, Malaga failed to equalise, but it was Mohamed Salah's in-cut shot that almost extended Basel's lead.

In the end, at the end of the first half, the score was still 1-0, and Basel led 1-0 with Jiang Chenxi's goal, leading 3-1 on aggregate.

……

"Francisco, you need to play with your head up."

At half-time, Manuel Pellegrini was harshly critical of Isco.

At this time, commentators from various countries were also commenting on the first half of the game.

'Isco's performance in the first half was really average, he squeezed the space of Tulalang and Joaquín to hold the ball, disrupted the Málaga attacking cluster in front of the court to transfer the ball to each other, to move the ball properly, to rotate correctly.

'Isco's too much possession and dribbling slowed down Malaga's attacking tempo, and in today's game, Isco worked hard, but he wanted to score goals and change the game on his own.

"In the positional attack, between Baptista and Santa Cruz, there needs someone to thread the needle, this is Isco's job, he needs to suddenly change the rhythm and tear apart the opponent's defense, but Isco just can't play this tactic, he has to carry the ball himself."

It was clear that the performance of the golden boy of Malaga in the first half made them shake their heads: this was not a normal Isco.

"Isco wants to win so badly." He Wei shook his head, "To be exact, he cares too much about the duel with Jiang Chenxi." ”

"In comparison, although Jiang Chenxi also showed a strong fighting spirit, he had a good mentality, focused on the game, and was in excellent condition." Zhang Lu said, his expression proud, "Isco wants to win Jiang Chenxi, Jiang Chenxi wants to win the game and advance to the quarterfinals!" ”

……

Isco improved his performance at the start of the second half and he was able to pass the ball to his team-mates.

In addition, although Isco will still choose to carry the ball himself, he will judge the situation and see a good opportunity, and will choose to pass the ball.

The change also gave Málaga an improvement in the second half.

Isco's technique is his weapon, a weapon capable of disrupting Basel's defence, and when he is no longer focused on dribbling the ball, his technical weapon can be effective.

In the 61st minute of the game, Isco attracted the attention of several Basel defenders with the ball alone, and suddenly sent a diagonal ball.

Baptista's beautiful run caught the ball, but Baptista's shot was saved by Basel's goalkeeper Sommer.

Isco was unhappy that Baptista had wasted the opportunity and shouted at his team-mates.

Five minutes later, Isco had a flash of inspiration and suddenly picked up a pass.

Santa Cruz was successful in an offside position, however, in the return of Alexander. Pressed by Dragovic, his shot was floppy and did not pose a threat to Basel's goal.

The camera captures the gloomy and terrifying face of the golden boy of Malaga.

……

After this, Isco may feel that his teammates are not competitive, and it is better to give them a chance.

He started to play at the same pace as he had in the first half.

In a Basel attack, Salah passed the ball to the goal, Jiang Chenxi's tackle was blocked by Malaga goalkeeper Caballero with an outstretched leg and hit the post, and Malaga escaped.

Subsequently, Malaga launched a counterattack.

Isco received a pass from Baptista and used his beautiful footwork to get past two of them and into the box, at which point Basel's defence was fatally flawed: their left wing-back Park Joo-ho had not been able to get back in time after an assist.

At this time, Isco only had to pass the football horizontally to the right, and the Santa Cruz that was inserted was unguarded, almost facing half an empty goal.

However, Isco didn't pass the ball and he shot straight at goal.

Basel goalkeeper Sommer was in a good position, he stretched his leg and knocked the ball out of the bottom line, and Basel escaped!

Corner kick!

……

Santa Cruz was unhappy with Isco's choice, shouting at him with open arms and questioning his teammates why they didn't pass the ball.

Isco ignored Santa Cruz, who had squandered a one-on-one ball after passing the ball to Santa Cruz, and he made up his mind to do it himself: he didn't trust his team-mate.

"Isco didn't pass the ball! Otherwise, Málaga could well score. "Perhaps, Isco made two good passes, but his team-mates wasted the chance, which made Isco not trust his team-mates very much, but, obviously, he was not able to handle the shot himself." ”

"In fact, I can't blame Isco too much, in the second half of the game, Isco did change and passed the ball, but his teammates were not angry, he could only choose to do it alone." Zhang Lu said.

"The problem is that Isco himself is not angry and does not take advantage of the opportunity." He Wei smiled slightly, "Now, Malaga is far away from scoring, to be exact, Isco is actually one distance away from helping Malaga score, but it is actually a distance away from Jiang Chenxi!" ”

……

Pellegrini couldn't stand it anymore, he couldn't take it anymore.

Málaga made an immediate substitution.

Saviola came on and came on for ...... Santa Cruz.

Manuel Pellegrini still doesn't have the courage to replace Isco at this time, the golden boy of Malaga is the tactical core of the team, and with Isco, Malaga has no hope of turning the tables, and he can only hope for Isco's individual ability now.

Santa Cruz, who was substituted, was furious, and he did not have any communication with manager Manuel Pellegrini, and went straight to the players' corridor.

He couldn't accept the manager's substitution.

……

Pellegrini's substitution didn't work very well.

On the contrary, because of the absence of Santa Cruz as a central pivot, Malaga's attacking threat has been greatly reduced.

Saviola, who is 31 years old, is in fairly average form since coming on the pitch and can hardly pose any threat to Basel's goal.

On the contrary, with 71 minutes of play, Basel played an excellent combination.

Azi passes the ball to Jiang Chenxi.

This time, Jiang Chenxi made a gesture to run to catch the ball, but missed the football.

This time, Basel's defense was completely caught off guard, and everyone thought that Jiang Chenxi would receive the ball and shoot.

At the back post, Salah fired a shot straight past Willy Caballero.

Basel leads Malaga 2:0, and the aggregate score of the two legs is 4:1, sealing the win!
