Chapter 67: A Draw
The manager had three major tragedies: the fans turned against the water, the class was dismissed, and the goal was conceded at the end.
The fans hurt their feelings, hurt their money after class halfway, and conceded the ball at the end...... Sad.
Recino is sad now.
Lin Sen was right before, before this game, Recino did study Malaga to the bottom, for this game, he even shamelessly consulted Koke, who had just returned to Atletico Madrid, which is almost unthinkable for the traditional Recino at the beginning of the season, and Recino's preparation did have an effect, Lin Sen did not expect Recino to play defensive counterattack with him, you know, the media listed the reasons why he was terminated last season, and tactical conservatism is a big crime.
Playing Lin Sen by surprise, Recino was successful until more than 80 minutes, but it was at this time that Lin Sen's team equalized.
Willing? How could it be willing!
It's just that Recino knows very well that after Malaga scored this goal, although the morale has been completely on Malaga's side, if Malaga wants to take advantage of the victory and chase, the chance is not big, and on the other hand, if Atletico Madrid wants to replicate the feat of Malaga in the first leg, I am afraid the chance is also very slim. Because it's not about morale at all, it's just about tactics.
Heavy armor on both sides, how can it be so easy to find gaps?! Quaresma didn't suddenly exert his strength until the end of the game, and Recino didn't believe it was just an accident!
However, the struggle still has to struggle, Recino replaced Assunção with Diego Forlan and Raul Garcia with Luis Garcia, pressing hard and trying to make a desperate bet, while Linson saw the move, Alba replaced Reuss, and Rondon replaced Lewandowski in the opposite position, the intention could not be more obvious, strengthening the defense before and after, the latter continued to stare at Atletico's backfield like a nail, maintaining the pressure on Atletico Madrid, if Atletico Madrid had not forgotten who scored their first goal in the first leg and howAt the very least, their backline had better be a little more disciplined.
The final minutes of the game were undoubtedly too fast for Atletico, and it seemed that stoppage time was going in the blink of an eye, but they had every reason to be glad that just as the fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines to signal that the game was going into stoppage time, Quaresma almost gave them another slap in the face: it was still that weird curling ball with the outside of the instep, and this time, thanks to Kupe, the Frenchman subconsciously blocked the ball to the crossbar.
Finally, as time freezes on the big screen above the stands, so does the score.
One-to-one.
For Malaga, a draw is not a defeat. For Atletico Madrid, a draw is not a victory.
Lin Sen took the initiative to walk to the coach's seat of Atletico Madrid to shake hands with Recino, and the heart of the first leg was not to be compared. Lin Sen stepped forward and patted Resino on the arm, but he didn't speak, he knew that it was superfluous to say anything, and the Recino in front of him made him seem to see Aguirre last season.
Then, he turned and walked towards Quaresma.
'The assists are beautiful, Ricciardo. Lin Sen first appreciated a date.
"Thank you." There was a hint of a smile on Quaresma's face, and this was the first time Lin Sen had seen him smile, almost making Lin Sen unable to bear to say the next word.
"But if you could have been more concise in your assists, it would have been more pretty."
Lin Sen thought he had changed his tactful way, but Quaresma's answer made him roll his eyes.
"But as you said, I can do whatever it takes. Isn't it? Mr. Coach. ”
Well, that's what I said.
Where did Lin Sen think that one day he would lift a stone to hit his own feet, he suddenly had a little headache, so he had to comfort himself in the same way that he had just comforted Recino, patting his left arm with his right hand.
"Ricardo, you know what I'm talking about, being silent is not a problem for me, it's a much easier way to deal with it. I'm just giving you a suggestion, and as for whether you listen or not, it's up to you to decide. But if it could be better, why not? I believe that I am not the first person to give you this Jianyì. What do you think? Lin Sen's tone is still as calm and tactful as possible, not that he doesn't want to be tougher, but he doesn't think he can be tougher than Mourinho, eating soft or not eating hard is the character trait of many geniuses, Quaresma may not fight against you, the problem is that it doesn't help at all.
In the final analysis, the introduction of Quaresma, Linson did not let him be a hero, let alone to please the fans of Malaga, he just wanted to add some X factors to his team that was slowly being familiar with other teams, and at the same time gave himself a problem that it was better to meet late than early. Quaresma is not the first big-name player he gets along, in terms of big names, the opposite Aguero has more cards than him, and it is not necessarily how difficult it is to get along with, but Quaresma is by no means the last big-name player he gets along, not to mention anything else, within a few years, Malaga has more in the current lineup than he is more famous, but Linsen knows that he must adapt to this kind of "problem player", if he can't even get a Quaresma who is at least still in the competitive category, then for Adriano, who is completely off the line behind, Lin Sen might as well give up treatment as soon as possible.
Quaresma was silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, he nodded, "I understand, Mr. Coach, though, I don't mean to offend you, but it's my style of playing." ”
"It looks like we're going to need to get used to each other." Lin Sen smiled bitterly, but he didn't want the atmosphere to become too heavy, so he smiled, "Anyway, it's a good debut. Congratulations. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Coach." Quaresma smiled again.
--------------
The 20th round of La Liga has been completed.
A home draw at Atletico Madrid did not drop Málaga's league standings, but Sevilla were able to regain a point of victory over Santander after a surprise 2-0 defeat at home. And Numancia, who gave Barcelona the only defeat this season at the beginning of the season, finally proved that the upset of the first leg between the two sides was just an accident, they fell to the Camp Nou 1-4 away without suspense, and the unbeatable Barcelona also opened the gap with the second place again with this revenge, reaching as much as eleven points, of course, not many people will care how many points Barcelona will eventually lead the second place, anyway, now Barcelona's opponent is only themselves, even the sworn enemy Real Madrid, The new manager, Juan de Ramos, did not die like his predecessor Schuster, but also admitted that Real Madrid had withdrawn from the title race this season.
Of course, Linson is not in the habit of being a dead duck, and he prefers to focus more on more realistic goals, such as the Copa del Rey, rather than the unrealistic dream of a league title.
After the match with Atletico Madrid, Málaga will have another round of fixtures in action, three days later in midweek, when they host Real Betis in the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, then away to Athletic Bilbao in the league weekend, and the second leg of the Copa del Rey in the middle of next week, followed by the league weekend...... In other words, Malaga will have two consecutive weeks of double matches in a week.
A month ago, Málaga had a perfect record of three wins and one draw, and Linsen's rotation had a good effect, but this time, against the stronger Real Betis, Linsen chose a different approach.
On January 28, Malaga faced Betis with almost the same line-up as against Atletico Madrid, the only change was that Reus was replaced by Elissu, but the media expected that Quaresma, who might start, was once again on the bench, however, the bench did not prevent the Portuguese from being the focus of the game again, this time Quaresma, who had the opportunity to play in the second half, became a nightmare for Real Betis, not because of how many goals he scored, but because he was in the short ten minutes of the second half. He created two red cards for Real Betis, which directly led to the rout of Real Betis, helping Malaga score two goals in the last ten minutes of the game to win the opponent, and even indirectly paved the way for the second leg of the game in Malaga.
Two days later, on the final day of the winter transfer window, the final madness did not materialize. Real Madrid, who brought in Huntelaar and Las Diarra, became the protagonists of the winter transfer, but in the words of the Spanish media: Calderón's money was spent late. Barcelona were only scandalous and did not act all winter, and in the end there was no entry and exit, and Guardiola maintained their squad from last season.
And Málaga has unexpectedly become the biggest "beneficiary" of winter transfers, Rosario and Koke two transfers, bringing them seven million transfer income, and their only introduction, is from Inter Milan loan Quaresma, Marca newspaper rarely praised Málaga's transfer, that Quaresma's arrival not only improved Málaga's popularity, the most important thing is to make up for the vacancy after Coke's departure, and take Rosario, who has lost his position, in exchange for 4.5 million, It will also help to improve Málaga's fragile finances. Fame and fortune are gained, and there is no reason why Málaga's transfer work should not be recognized.
For these evaluations, Lin Sen doesn't care, Quaresma is looking very eye-catching now, but if it weren't for the loss of Coke, Lin Sen may not have the idea of introducing him, so the winter transfer is more like a home defense war for him, no matter how successful it is, it will be a failure, because the battlefield is at your own doorstep, and gain is premised on loss.
Perhaps this summer is more worthy of Linson's attention than winter, because by that time, there may be more than one transfer such as "Cork".
Coincidentally, on the last day of the winter transfer window closing, Linson received a call from Sans Jr. in person.
