Chapter 219: Fooling the World

That night, the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League began.

Serie A giants Juventus completed the 3-0 away team Celtic in the Soviet Super League, and the media generally believed that Juventus' complete victory had made the suspense of promotion disappear.

Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain beat Valencia 2-1 away!

The result slapped the media in the face, because three days ago, when Malaga won 3-1 away at Valencia, the media thought they were saving for the Champions League, only to lose to Paris Saint-Germain.

Both games were won by the away team, and the Malaga fans were very happy, believing that this was a sign that their team could also walk away with a victory at the Stadio Dragons.

But that night, they were in a bad mood because of a piece of news.

……

The news that Li Chuanqi was knocked over by his teammates and injured during training was quickly transmitted from Porto to all over Europe.

The three largest bookmakers in Europe reacted the fastest, and they immediately adjusted the odds for the Porto vs Malaga match.

The next morning, Malaga went to the Dragon Stadium for acclimatization training, and Li Chuanqi did not follow the team for tactical training after the warm-up training, but carried out leg rehabilitation training under the leadership of the assistant coach.

This phenomenon confirms the news of his injury yesterday.

The Porto fans were so excited that their team's chances of winning tonight had increased their chances.

Malaga fans left messages on Li Chuanqi's social accounts, hoping that his injury would not affect the match against Porto.

Li Chuanqi replied to them that he is actively recovering, and there is no big problem on the field, please rest assured.

On the 10th of February, there was a sudden heavy rain in Porto, and the temperature dropped to 17 degrees!

Joaquin looked at the heavy rain outside the window, shook his head and said, "This ghost weather! ”

Not knowing what to think, he suddenly laughed.

In the afternoon, at the pre-match press conference, reporters asked Pellegrini about Li Chuanqi's injury, and the Chilean engineer told them that Li Chuanqi had a right leg strain.

Asked if Li Chuanqi would be able to play tonight, Manuel Pellegrini said: "It's hard to say right now, it depends. ”

He did not say whether it was based on Li Chuanqi's injury or the situation of the game.

Asked by reporters what Porto coach Andreas Pereira thought of Li Chuanqi's injury, Pereira said: "After the draw came out, we started working on Malaga.

It was found that although this team participated in the Champions League for the first time, they advanced with an unbeaten record, which fully shows that they are a very strong team.

Lee is Malaga's top scorer, scoring eight goals in just three group games, which is terrifying.

If he's out tonight with an injury, it will take the pressure off our backline. ”

………

As night falls in Porto and the lights come on, Malaga takes the hotel bus to the Dragon Stadium.

Along the way were fans wearing Porto jerseys, who braved the heavy rain to sing Porto's team anthem.

In Europe, for most people, football is a part of life, an essential part.

Half an hour later, the bus arrived at the Dragon Stadium.

Designed by renowned architect Manuel Salgado, the Dragon Stadium was completed in 2003 and has a capacity of 50,476 spectators.

The design of the course is very unique, and the entire course is made of steel.

The reason why the stadium has a "dragon" in its name is because of the dragon in the crown of the Porto emblem.

Therefore, the course is also named after the "Dragon".

The Stadio de la Dyngola has been awarded a UEFA five-star football stadium by the UEFA Football Federation and is considered to be the venue that can host the Europa League Champions Cup final.

It's a majestic stadium.

The bus drove into the field, and Maraga, getting out of the car, was summoned by the reporters who were already waiting.

However, none of them were interviewed in Málaga and Pellegrini did not look good.

The reporter believes that this is because Li Chuanqi's injury has affected his mood.

……

During the warm-up, the rain was a little lighter, and Li Chuanqi still did not train with the team, and warmed up under the leadership of the assistant coach.

The Porto fans were happy that the media were not lying this time.

Twenty minutes before the start of the game, the media got the starting lists of both sides, and Li Chuanqi was really not on the starting list, but on the substitute list.

At 7:45, the starters of both sides appeared in the tunnel and waited to play.

Joaquin whispered to Li Chuanqi behind him: "When they see you, I don't know what kind of expression it will be." ”

Li Chuanqi said helplessly: "No way, when he was dealing with it yesterday when the team doctor was dealing with it, his old man told me not only to pretend to be injured, but also to pretend to be a little bit." It's also the first time I've done anything like this. ”

Joaquin couldn't help but laugh.

The Porto players were surprised when they saw Li Chuanqi and pointed at him.

By this time, they finally understood that Pellegrini and Li Chuanqi staged a scene for them.

Nima, this smoke bomb is ...... Let's all think you're injured, but you're a lively starter?

Lee, is it necessary?

Coach, you've been lied to by them.

……

On the broadcast seat, the commentator of Portuguese national television was introducing the starters of both sides: "Fans and friends, in the 2112-13 season, the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the match between Porto and Malaga is about to begin!"

Malaga is playing in the Champions League for the first time, so there is no record of the two teams playing each other.

Porto have lost only one of their last eleven home games in the Champions League knockout round, and that one came in April 2009, when Porto lost to Manchester United!

Porto are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Spanish teams, with three wins and four draws.

The last defeat came nine years ago, when Porto were defeated by Real Madrid in October 2003.

Pereira lined up a four-three-three attacking formation for Porto tonight, goalkeeper: Elton; Four defenders: Danilo, Otamendi, Mangara, Alex Sandro, three midfielders: Lucho Gonzalez, Fernando, Moutinho, three forwards: Izmailov, Martinez, Varela!

Manuel Pellegrini lined up for Málaga in a four-two-three-one formation: Caballero; Defenders: Sergio Sanchez, Demichelis, Wiligeton, Monreal; Double midfielders: Tulalang, Camacho; Three midfielders: Joaquin, Isco, Fernandez; Single striker: Saviola!

Eighteen-year-old Malaga, the team's top scorer, Lee was unable to enter the starting lineup due to injury......"

As soon as he said this, the assistant hurriedly handed him a piece of paper, and he glanced at it, extremely surprised.

"We just got a new starting line-up, Malaga changed the starting line-up and Lee started in place of Fernandes!"

The Porto fans in front of the TV looked confused, didn't they say they were injured?

How did you get into the starting list now?

Could it be that Malaga deliberately staged a scene?!

After the sideline reporters got the new starting list, they also realized that Pellegrini and Li Chuanqi played a scene for them!

Nima, is this necessary?

The Portuguese journalist shook his head incessantly, then turned his gaze to the Porto bench, what should Pereira do?
