Chapter 163: Praise and criticism from teammates in Santa Málaga
Having won the match, Pellegrini was in a good mood.
With two wins in a row, Málaga will be able to qualify from the group and enter the knockout rounds, as long as there are no major problems in the subsequent matches.
You know, this is the first time in Málaga's history that they have participated in the Champions League.
He then answered questions from reporters, and when it came to the use of Li Chuanqi, he explained why Li Chuanqi did not get the starting position:
'Because he's still so young, you need a process at a young age, you need to watch the game from the bench and it helps him a lot to get on the pitch.'
He then added: "With a performance like this, I think he's up to the line-up and that day will come soon. ”
After Pellegrini's departure, Anderlecht coach Van den Bromme came on.
The Dutchman's mood was not very high, and he felt that the second half was a bad game and his team could not withstand Malaga's attack in the second half.
"Our failure to prevent Lee was the biggest reason for tonight's defeat, and there is an objective reason for this: we got the video of the game, Lee played on the left winger, but he played on the right winger tonight.
In the pre-match build-up session, we focused on him as a left winger, but Pellegrini played him as a right winger.
Another reason is that we analyzed from the footage that Lee is not a player who likes to pass the ball, so we developed a trap strategy.
But he changed his style tonight and in many cases we thought he was going to break through and he passed the ball instead. ”
What should I do, the other party does not play according to the card.
That's the biggest reason why the Dutch think they lost.
But his explanation was ridiculed by journalists.
……
Malaga is financially struggling, but it is not enough to run out of money to stay in a hotel for an extra night.
Not to mention that it was already late after the game.
Lying on the bed, Li Chuanqi had time to look at his phone.
When he turned on his phone, he noticed that there were a lot of messages.
The most informative group is the San Malaga chat group.
He looked through the unread messages and saw that his teammates had been following tonight's game.
Even the MiG had a live text broadcast!
When Li Chuanqi came on the court in the second half, the whole group began to live.
When Li Chuanqi created the penalty, all the diving teammates came out to speak.
When he scored the first goal, MiG let out a voice of his own excited roar.
When he provided the assist for Saviola, Pablo thought he had improved, but Liag thought Li Chuanqi shouldn't have passed the ball and should have broken through to finish the shot.
"Although Vasilewski is desperately trying to chase back, but Lee has only one defender in front of Deschampie, why can't Lee break through on his own?
I don't think he's improving, maybe it's something else that made him change his style. ”
Several people quarreled over this issue, and in the end, it was the confidant sister Pablo who came out to settle the argument.
When Li Chuanqi cut inside and scored with a right-footed shot in stoppage time, the crowd exclaimed.
Liag believes that this goal is where Li Chuanqi has improved.
"It's not often that we've seen him shoot with his right foot in the past, which shows that he must have been working his right-footed skills when he entered Malaga! That's where he improves! ”
After the match, MiG proposed to go out for two drinks, and everyone agreed.
After reading the message of the chat group, he began to speak: "Thank you teammates for your attention. ”
He @ Liag and said: "I practice more after every training session, and as you know, this habit was formed when I was in San Malaga.
Half of the time is spent practicing right-footed shooting. ”
Thousands of miles away in Malaga, the players of San Malaga gathered around a large table and drank.
MiG held his mobile phone and shouted: "Li replied to the message!" Liag, he@you! ”
Liag immediately picked up his mobile phone, and before he could open the chat group, a teammate read out what Li Chuanqi said.
'As for why I wanted to pass the ball to Saviola, it was a momentary decision and there was nothing else to do.
I don't remember who said it, it seems like Antonio said that the game is about learning to change, you can't stay the same, unless you are at the level of Arjen Robben or Messi.
At that level, even if the other party knows what you're going to do next, they won't be able to intercept it.
You have also seen the first few La Liga games, and after I got the ball, I was basically breaking through, but the effect was not good.
So I want to change that. ”
Liag responded to him: "As a technical striker, you have to have the courage to break through all opponents, even in tight spaces, even in the face of packs and blockages.
I watched the first few games and thought you did a good job, that's how it should be.
While this may cause displeasure among teammates and coaches, do we need to ignore their dissatisfaction?
Someone famously said that as long as a striker can score goals, he is a good striker.
So as long as we can keep scoring goals, they can only accept it!
Are you scoring fewer goals now?
Why care what they think in their hearts? ”
Liag still believes that Li Chuanqi chose to pass the ball because of pressure from his coach and teammates.
As a professional player, which one is not proud, which one will not break through, why do you only know how to break through when you take the ball?
Do you know how many opportunities you miss?
Do you still have teammates in mind?
Did you know that football is a team event?
Li Chuanqi didn't know how to respond to Liag, although he said it very self-containedly, but there was still some truth.
Sister Pablo stood up again: "Liag, it's okay, you started talking about these things when he was thirteen years old, and he didn't know anything. It's just a pass, there's no need to extend so much. ”
Liag replied unconvinced: "Since you followed me when you were thirteen, why didn't you listen?" ”
Under the persuasion of everyone, Liag stopped criticizing Li Chuanqi.
Li Chuanqi did not get angry, but felt warm, and his teammates did not change their attitude towards him because he became a professional player, and still regarded him as their apprentice, hoping that he could improve.
……
The next morning, Pellegrini held a post-match summary meeting at the hotel, at which he praised Li Chuanqi.
Praise him for learning to pass the ball.
"This is Lee's biggest improvement last night!"
After hearing this, Yin Tula's face turned gloomy.
Two goals, one assist, penalty creation, none of these are praised, just passes.
This shows that in Pellegrini's heart, that damn guy, those dazzling data are nothing, just normal operations.
】
It is conceivable that the status of that damn guy in Pellegrini's mind is already very important.
……
At noon the next day, Malaga boarded a plane to Malaga and after a long journey, they returned to Malaga at five o'clock in the afternoon.
There were no fans at the airport to greet them, only a few local journalists from Malaga who knew the exact time of their return, waiting for them.
Pellegrini arranged for three goal-scorers to give interviews to the media.
All three were pleased with the result, with Joaquín and Saviola praising Li by name as the most important contributor to the victory.
Li Chuanqi was very modest when facing reporters, he believed that the main reason why the team could win was that the overall game was good, and as for himself, he just did what he had to do.
