Chapter 231: Simeone wants to rob people
The Rose Garden Stadium is crowded.
With the team's performance improving this season, attendance at the Rose Garden has increased significantly, and it is said that it is now a hard to find tickets.
The defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the last round left Malaga fans breathing a sigh of relief, hoping that their side would be able to defend their home honours again tonight.
"I heard that Lee's form has been up and down lately, isn't it very good, do you think he can get back into form tonight?"
Li Chuanqi has become one of the most concerned by Malaga fans, and they call him the "King of the Rose Garden"!
Never before in Málaga's long history have there been such a striking striker, and that striker came from the Malaga junior team.
'After the last game against Porto, he said he wasn't very good at taking chances and scored two goals in that game. So, what he calls 'ups and downs' is different from everyone else. ”
'Before the last game against Porto, Pellegrini also said that he might miss the game due to injury, and he started!
"What do you mean...... The two of them are setting off smoke bombs again? ”
"Oh, what are you worried about, I believe in him, even if he is not in good shape, he will still be the best one in Malaga!"
"yes, yes, look, how many games has he not scored? It seems that there has only been one game so far without scoring a goal, so your worries are unnecessary! ”
Facts speak louder than words, so the Malaga fans who are worried about Li Chuanqi's poor form can rest assured.
At 7:45, the starters of both sides walked into the stadium, and the tsunami-like cheers rang out!
The Málaga TV commentator exclaimed: "The game is about to start, now to introduce the starting line-ups of both sides!"
Pellegrini lined up in a four-two-three-one formation, goalkeeper: Caballero; Defenders: Sergio Sanchez, Demichelis, Veligton, Monreal; Double midfielders: Tulalang, Camacho; Three midfielders: Joaquin, Isco, Lee; Single striker: Saviola!
Simeone lined up in a four-four-two formation, goalkeeper: Courtois; Four defenders: Juanfran , Luiz, Godin, Miranda; Four midfielders: Suarez, Rodriguez, Tulan, Koke; Two strikers: Falcao, Costa!
Falcao has been in excellent form this season and is currently third in the scorers' charts and is the biggest contributor to Atletico's third-place finish.
Some people say that one of the highlights of tonight is the showdown between him and Lee. ”
The Madrid Sports TV commentator exclaimed: "This time it's a match between the first and third places, hopefully they can give us a good game!" ”
Simeone walked to the bench in Malaga and hugged and shook hands with Peragrini who, as South Americans, have a common language.
The two chatted briefly.
"I heard you're going to the Premier League?"
"There's this idea."
"Are you going to take Lee with you?"
"I have this idea."
"I'm going to rob you of someone!"
"There's this...... No way! ”
Simeone smiled at Peragrini and walked away happily.
Pelagrini thought for a few seconds and shook his head slightly, is this to disturb my mind?
"Tick! ……”
At eight o'clock, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Saviola moved the football to the back, Atletico Madrid's overall formation pressed, and the midfield launched a frantic press.
Under Simeone's careful play, Atletico's tactical style has changed significantly, and they have become more active on the field, often using a pressing style of play in front of the court to disrupt the opposition's attacking rhythm.
The biggest drawback of this style of play is the excessive physical exertion, but under Simeone's devilish training, they have not had any major problems so far.
The race started in a tight battle and Málaga found it difficult to organise an effective attack.
The scene was frozen for a while.
It was only in the fourth minute of the first half that Li Chuanqi touched a football for the first time, as Atletico Madrid defended him tightly, and he was usually surrounded by at least three players.
In this case, the teammate did not pass the ball to him for the safety of the football.
After receiving the pass from his teammates, Li Chuanqi turned around after a beautiful duffle and got rid of Juan Fran behind him!
Cheers rang out on the Rose Garden Course.
When Li Chuanqi was about to dribble the ball and quickly advance along the sideline, he found that he was surrounded by three people and did not even have a route to get the ball.
Then force a breakthrough!
The picture that made the Malaga fans enthusiastic appeared, Li Chuanqi flashed and moved, and his left foot pulled, dialed, and buckled on the football like lightning, like a loach, breaking out of the encirclement of the three!
Before he could speed up, Juanfran stretched out his right foot and tripped him directly.
"Tick! ……”
The referee blew the whistle and rushed to the center of the incident.
"Yellow card!"
"Yellow card!"
"Yellow card!"
A loud noise rang out at the Rose Garden Stadium and the Malaga fans were unhappy with the foul.
Damn Juanfran!
You interrupted a great show!
What the referee feared did not happen, and Juanfran pulled Li Chuanqi up from the turf.
The referee gave him a verbal warning.
Such a picture happened frequently in the following time, Li Chuanqi was frequently put down by Atletico Madrid defenders, and he was pulled up by the opponent in a friendly manner.
Pellegrini's face became gloomy, has he robbed people to this extent?
Simeone shouted at his players and encouraged them to continue chasing Li Chuanqi.
In the nineteenth minute of the first half, Malaga launched an attack from the right side, Joaquin crossed from the right, Li Chuanqi rushed into the penalty area, jumped high, and hit the goal with a ferocious header!
However, the header that was close at hand was magically lifted off the crossbar by Courtois!
"Coax! ……”
The Rose Garden Stadium resounded with a loud cry of regret, followed by thunderous applause.
The Málaga TV commentator exclaimed: "This is the first time that Malaga has threatened the goal!" Lee's header almost broke through Courtois's goal! ”
The Madrid Sports TV commentator said: "Lee was heavily defended by Atletico Madrid, Malaga could only attack from the right, Joaquín's cross this time was very beautiful, and Lee's point grab was also very exciting!"
Courtois magically lifts the ball off the crossbar!
It's a great battle to attack and defend! ”
Li Chuanqi patted his forehead, and among all kinds of shooting techniques, headers have always been his weakest point.
If you add a head shake this time, you will definitely be able to enter.
Over time, Atletico gradually adapted to the pace of the game and launched a counter-attack towards Malaga.
In the twenty-third minute of the first half, Rodriguez created a chance on the side, an inverted triangle pass, and Falcao followed up with a direct shot!
The soccer ball hits Demichelis on the leg and goes wide of the goal!
Rodriguez sends in a corner, Costa forces Wiligdon to head in goal, and the ball goes over the crossbar!
Four minutes later, Malaga launched an attack from the left, Isco made a diagonal pass, Li Chuanqi got rid of Juanfran to control the football, and then lightly buckled with his left foot, got rid of the blocked Luis, and shot from a distance at a very small angle!
The ball arcs in the air and flies towards the top right corner of the goal! Please keep in mind: Lily, URL mobile version PC version, Lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
