With the end of the 23rd round of La Liga, fans in Europe and around the world have turned their attention to the upcoming Champions League.

On 13 February, Malaga took an international flight to Porto, a city in northern Portugal.

Founded in 1893, FC Porto has been the leader of the Portuguese Serie A since its founding, with a period of decline in between, and then a complete rise to prominence, sweeping multiple league titles.

FC Porto have won a number of league titles, making them the second team with the most Portuguese league titles.

Porto have won the UEFA Champions League twice in their history.

Porto had their first glorious year in their history in 1987 when they won 2-1 against rivals Bayern Munich in the European Champions Cup.

From 2002 to 2004, he won the UEFA Cup under the leadership of Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho.

In the 2003-2004 season, Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo FC defeated French club Monaco 3-0 in the final held in Gelsenkirchen, Germany!

Winner of the European Champions Cup again after 17 years!

It became the second team after Liverpool from 1975 to 1977 to win the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League two consecutive years.

In the 2010-11 season, Porto won the Portuguese Super League, the Portuguese Cup and the Europa League under the leadership of young coach Villas Boas.

It's a strong team and in terms of historical record, Malaga simply can't match it.

However, under the leadership of the "twin stars" this season, Malaga overtook Real Madrid and Barcelona to occupy the top spot in the standings, and qualified for the Champions League group stage two rounds ahead of schedule.

Therefore, Malaga and the media believe that Málaga has a better chance of qualifying.

At noon on the 23rd, Malaga and his entourage landed at Porto International Airport.

When they came out, they were summoned by journalists from all over Europe who had been waiting there for a long time.

Pellegrini and Joaquín were interviewed by the media as representatives.

The reason why Li Chuanqi did not go was because the media would definitely ask him about his relationship with Blanca Padilla.

He didn't want to talk about his love life in front of the media.

However, his ideas are beautiful, but the reality is "cruel".

Reporters rushed to him, and airport security couldn't stop him.

Li Chuanqi had no choice but to accept an interview with the media.

Speaking about tomorrow night's match, he modestly said: "After the draw, a lot of people thought we had drawn Porto and it was a good draw. But our whole team thinks Porto are a strong team.

Tomorrow night is going to be a very tight game and our goal this time is to get away goals first, then a draw and, if possible, a win. ”

The media, accustomed to his modesty, did not pay much attention.

They shifted their focus to his romance and asked how they met and why the two walked together without any warning.

Li Chuanqi told them that they had known each other five years ago, that they had attended the same school, and that Blanca Padilla had been in Malaga for a year before returning to Madrid.

When filming the commercial, they met again after five years, so they naturally came together.

This is the first time he has officially admitted their relationship in front of the media.

The reporters were satisfied, believing that they had not waited so long today on the basis of this.

Responding to a reporter's question, Pellegrini said: "Porto are a team that deserves respect, they have a glorious history, they have won the Champions League twice, and we are playing in the Champions League for the first time.

It's a good thing for us to play Porto this time.

We can learn from them. ”

Journalists are amazed, Mr. Pellegrini, why are you so modest?

Knocking Real Madrid and Barcelona down in a row, aiming to compete for the La Liga title, can Porto compare with Real Madrid and Barcelona?

Pellegrini ignored them and continued: "It will be very difficult to play against a team like Porto who have a lot of experience in the Champions League.

Now that we're in the knockout stages, every game counts and will determine the final qualification.

So our tactical strategy is to defend solidly and wait for the opportunity to counterattack! ”

Is this a smoke bomb?

The journalists are not clear.

Some people say that football is the epitome of modern warfare, in order to achieve victory, coaches and players are fighting wits and courage, and there is an endless stream of schemes, and you have no idea that what they say is true and what they say is false.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Joaquín said in an interview: "We are eager to play against a team like Porto, which will allow us to gain a lot of experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

We don't have a lot of players in our squad who have played in the knockout stages of the Champions League and they need to work out. ”

Joaquín is telling the truth, and this is also Malaga's biggest shortcoming.

A reporter asked him if he was optimistic about Li Chuanqi's game tomorrow night.

Joaquin said: "Lee is the most talented player I've ever seen! Not only that, but he's also the hardest working player I've ever seen, and when we were on holiday, he didn't rest, he was training on the training pitch.

In the evening, when we were in Pei's house, he was doing strength training in the strength room.

Such a player, do you think he should succeed? ”

The journalists were taken aback, followed by a thumbs up, top talent, coupled with hard work, such a player certainly deserves success.

……

After staying in the hotel, Li Chuanqi put down his suitcase and called his mother, telling her that she had arrived safely and had moved into the hotel.

His mother told him to be careful outside.

Joaquín, like him, dropped his luggage and called home.

After Li Chuanqi reported his safety to his mother, he dialed Blanca Padilla's phone.

After the phone was connected, it was a bit noisy on the other side, and according to Blanca Padilla's description, it should be a dressing room.

The cacophony of the phone soon died down, and Blanca Padilla should have walked out of the dressing room.

"Honey, have you arrived at the hotel?"

The phone rang with the sweet voice of Blanca Padilla.

The two chatted for half an hour before it ended.

In the afternoon, Malaga was training at the venue provided by Porto, where laughter erupted and reporters set up long guns and short guns.

The platform for the Champions League is really different.

Pellegrini did not arrange targeted tactical drills, and after the warm-up, he conducted simple technical training, and then started to fight within the team.

Li Chuanqi's form was average, and his first three shots on goal failed to score.

The Portuguese journalist's eyes lit up, and Malaga's top scorer was not in good form, which was good news for Porto.

Li Chuanqi also seemed to know that he was not in good shape, and in the next confrontation, he focused on passing the ball to his teammates.

Towards the end of the first half, Li Chuanqi was knocked to the ground by a defender.

He limped to his feet, and Pellegrini immediately replaced him and let the team doctor take care of it.

The reporter outside the training ground slapped Li Chuanqi sitting on the ground!
