When Manzano saw Malaga's starting line-up, he was actually a little overjoyed.

Because Linson did the same as he expected, there was a massive rotation of the starting lineup, and he would never think that this was a kind of contempt for Mallorca. Everyone knows that Malaga's league opponent in three days will be Barcelona.

In fact, Mallorca's luck is not very good, originally as last season's seventh, Mallorca originally had a great chance to play in the Europa League, however, no one expected that the two teams that entered the Copa del Rey last season would be Valencia and Getafe, and these two teams, none of the teams qualified for Europe, Getafe aside, Valencia fell to tenth last season.

And this season, Mallorca, who have lost several big players in the summer, have suffered a series of setbacks at a start, so far, only three wins in eight games, although it is still too early to talk about relegation, but it is not far from the relegation zone, which is why Manzano does not plan to give up the Copa del Rey, especially when the opponents in the next round are also not easy.

It was normal for Manzano to feel happy, but the truth was, his joy was a little early.

Because, Lin Sen didn't really give up the Copa del Rey as he thought, for him, he just changed the lineup, and then planned to experiment with new tactics.

The goalkeeper is captain Arnault, the back line Rosato, Ranocchia, Bonucci, and Gamiz are lined up, Gabi and Apono have always been the main double gates, and the attacking line is Reus, Isco, Duda, and Rondon is at the front. If it is placed in a few years, who dares to say that such a set of lineups will definitely lose to the previous starting lineup?

The most obvious rotation should be that of Leonardo Bonucci and Ranocchia at the back. Since the start of the league, Linson has always been conservative about the use of the pairing, the main thing is naturally the positional relationship, in addition, there is not some polishing in it, young players, one of the most important traits is patience, especially for defenders, this is especially important.

The two youngsters had a good appearance, and although they were slow to get a chance to start, at least there were no problems with their attitude, and they did their best in training, although not very hard. Of course, this cannot be ruled out because the two are very clear about their place in the team.

Bonucci is a pure loan, for this kind of loan, Bonucci knows very well, there is no free lunch in this world, generally this kind of loan contract, with a recall clause, is to prevent players from not being able to get the training of the game after the loan. Even if there is none, there must be a rule on playing time, otherwise, how can people loan players to you for nothing, so Bonucci does not need to be anxious in this regard at all. Ranocchia's patience is better explained, as Málaga's most expensive signing in the summer, he has no reason to worry about being abandoned without even playing a game.

Regardless, their patience paid off.

Linson can't always be conservative with the two, and in fact, after the match against Real Madrid, he realised the need to do everything possible to put Leonardo Bonucci and Ranocchia in the position. Against Real Madrid, Málaga's backline did not work hard, but they still conceded three goals, and it was a half-game. The reason why it is said that it is not hard work, not not brilliant, is because it is purely a gap in strength.

There are not many geniuses in this world, but not for nothing. When the genius appeared in front of mortals, mortals need to work hard to close the distance between themselves and geniuses, but sometimes, hard work is not equal to being able to make up for it, just like the efforts of tens of millions of mortals may not be able to withstand an Einstein, at this time, Hawking is needed.

In addition to the two central defenders in the backline, the biggest change in Linsen's lineup is nothing more than the attacking line, with Reus and Isco both starting for the first time this season.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Away and home is a good draw for the knockout rounds, because even if you lose, the home game will always leave you with some thoughts.

Manzano knew that Malaga's tactics were defensive counter-attacks, and their first priority was to score away goals away from home, so Mallorca unceremoniously skipped the tentative step to attack after the opening.

Regarding Mallorca's anti-guest dominance, Lin Sen didn't care at all.

However, there are two players who are familiar with Mallorca's current players. The first is Jurado, who played for Atletico Madrid last season, and secondly, Gabi's partner in the future Atletico Madrid: Mario Suarez. Speaking of which, it was not that Lin Sen didn't think about bringing Mario Suarez to Malaga at that time, but Atletico Madrid, who already knew that Lin Sen became the coach of Malaga at that time, didn't bird Livermore at all, and finally Mario Suarez came to Mallorca, and the price was only 800,000. As a result, Gabby and Mario, who were originally good friends, now have to fight on their own.

Less than five minutes into the game, Manzano realized something was wrong, and just like him, there was a man in the stands.

Pepe Costa.

Scouts at Barcelona.

Barcelona's scouts were there to watch the game, not to see one of the two teams, but because Barcelona's next league opponent was Malaga.

In fact, Costa also wondered why Guardiola sent himself to watch the game, although Malaga is now the top of the list, but after all, it is still a dark horse, even if it is valued, it has not yet reached the point where it needs to watch the game live, although La Liga is popular with technical flow, but Malaga's defensive counterattack is not uncommon. You must know that the current Barcelona has become a devastating trend in La Liga.

But now, what is in front of his eyes, it is actually an offensive Málaga.

Málaga's current attack is very patient, not at all like the previous team that pursued efficiency, passing the ball layer by layer, and a few young people in the front field also seemed to be very active, and it was only a few minutes into the game, and Isco had already played a few tricks, which provoked several cheers from the stands. And the first goal came from Isco.

It was Malaga who scored first. Isco's breakthrough earned Málaga a well-placed free-kick that Rosato slotted away.

Colorful smoke rose from the top of Manzano's head.

Is this trying to trap me? Malaga doesn't play defensive counter-attacks anymore? Switched to Transmission Control?

The game suddenly entered the rhythm of Malaga, not only Isco was brilliant, but the breakthroughs on both sides of Duda and Reuss were also killing, and several attacks forced Mallorca to obediently put away their attacking stance.

However, Manzano deserves to be Manzano, who was able to bring Mallorca to seventh place in the league last season, and after discovering the change in the shape of the game, he made a decisive change, he broke the usual practice of not taking the initiative to make substitutions in the first half, and directly replaced a striker, replaced a midfielder, and began to strengthen the control of the midfield, and this change was also immediate.

Towards the end of the first half, Mallorca equalised through Arango thanks to a counter-attack.

Linson didn't mind letting the opponent score away goals, but he frowned a little at the goal he had just conceded, because in that defense, the Italian combination that he pushed out of the table for the first time still exposed the shortcomings of not enough tacit understanding, and both actually chose to grab, so that Arango seized the opportunity.

"That's the price."

Lin Sen smiled bitterly in his heart. In the same way that the weak team except the goalkeeper, perhaps the maturity of the defender also needs to be accompanied by the conceding of goals again and again.

In the second half, Lin Sen still did not make any changes, and still maintained the original team in the first half. Costa in the stands shook his head in his heart, through the first half of the game, he still saw something, the current Malaga, actually a little bit like learning the current Barcelona tactical concept of the meaning, not to mention defense, always try to pass the ball through guò in the attack to tear apart the opponent's backline.

This had to make Costa have a sneer in his heart: Barcelona, can anyone imitate it?

As if in response to his sneer, Málaga had another problem with the ball up front, the ball was quickly cut off by Mallorca to launch a counter-attack, and the Málaga backline, which had had a poor performance in the first half, made another mistake and failed to create an offside position, and Arango scored twice.

1:2。

Mallorca overtook the score away from home.

But even so, Lin Sen still did not move the knife at the back, and the three substitutions were then used on the attacking players, and the tactics remained the same. Instead, Manzano began to defend solidly after taking the lead, and the remaining two substitutions were replaced by defenders for attackers.

The game completely became one-sided, of course, just one-sided on the shape shì.

Mallorca held on in the end.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the celebration of the Mallorca players left the Malaga's fans a little sad and a little relieved.

Sadly, it wasn't until the whistle blew that they suddenly realized that Malaga, which had played the most gorgeous offensive of the season, had actually lost the game. And this is also the first defeat for Malaga in the new season.

Thankfully, Malaga has finally become a team that will be ecstatic even if they are defeated.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The experiment failed!

For this defeat, Lin Sen doesn't want to interpret too much, beautiful football is really something that ordinary people can play, but he is not without gains, at least, the defeat proves one thing to all the players, that is, the current Malaga, or can only honestly play their own defensive counterattack.

Leaving the Rose Garden Stadium, Costa, who had already gotten into the car, wrote a personal and emotional comment on his game report.

Malaga, though.
