Chapter 257: Smoke bombs again?
There was also an important Champions League quarter-final that night, with Real Madrid hosting Galatasaray.
Real Madrid sit fourth in La Liga, their worst result in recent years, and are fourteen points clear of Malaga at the top of the table, which is a big gap.
There was basically no chance of catching up, so the Champions League became their most important game.
Jose Mourinho's side won 3-0 in the much-anticipated game, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain scoring one goal each.
It laid a solid foundation for Real Madrid to reach the semi-finals!
……
The next day, the major European media commented on the two matches from last night.
Almost all the media praised Real Madrid, believing that it was only a matter of time before they qualified for the semi-finals.
The match between Malaga and Borussia Dortmund was not the same in the media.
The team newspaper commented: "Although Malaga won at the Rose Garden, it was a victory for the stars and, more directly, a victory for Lee. And not Pellegrini's victory!
The Chilean engineer's change of formation was actually unsuccessful, and if it wasn't for Li Chaoshen's play, facing Malaga would have been a home defeat.
In the U-shaped position of the 442 midfielder, Saviola's defensive ability was already very weak, and Lee focused most of his energy on attacking, which led to Malaga's defense in the middle and one less defensive line.
Jurgen Klopp was keen on this and frequently threatened the Málaga defence in the middle.
Isco's playing on the flanks was also a big failure, as he played more as a wide attacker in the game and failed to take on the role of playmaker in midfield.
It's not his problem, it's Pellegrini's.
Thankfully, Lee was strong and with his pass and shot, Malaga was thrilling home to victory.
In the absence of the main player at the back, Pellegrini made an understandable change.
But his change of formation was a failure.
Lee was injured last night and was treated for treatment and only returned to the court two minutes later.
And after the game, the reporter did not see Li in the mixed interview area, and Joaquin confirmed that Li went to the hospital after the game.
This shows that Lee's injury is not as simple as people think.
This shows even more that the Chileans have failed in changing formations.
Málaga's astonishing results this season are inseparable from Lee's phenomenal performance.
Once he is out due to injury, not to mention that the Champions League will be eliminated, the top position in the La Liga standings cannot be kept! ”
The Guardian commented: "In the midst of this clash of youth storms, Malaga made history by winning the first Champions League quarter-final victory in the team's history thanks to Lee's brilliant performance.
It's not easy for a team playing in the Champions League for the first time.
In order to play Lee's deterrent, Pellegrini made him switch to a central striker, and in terms of process and result, it was successful.
All tactics have to look at the result, and Malaga won, so Pellegrini's change of formation was a success! ”
Milan Sports commented: "There has been a lot of discussion in the media about the 442 midfield half-shape, so we won't discuss it here.
Lee's form remains consistent and he is a guarantee of victory in Malaga.
In this much-anticipated match, he scored a textbook-worthy free-kick, which shows that he is transforming into an all-round striker!
With the blessing of free kicks, Lee's threat will be even greater.
However, Málaga lacked a consistent scoring point and Saviola was no longer the same Saviola he used to be, squandering two great chances before taking them the third.
On the whole, Klopp's Hornets are more aggressive and have a better overall strength.
So in the second round, there is a high probability that the Hornets will win. ”
Marca commented: "Why did Pellegrini change his formation in such a crucial game?
The root cause was a problem at the back, but he solved it by starting not at the back, but in midfield.
It's a novel idea.
Although Málaga eventually won at home and Lee played a central role, Málaga's defensive problems remained unresolved.
The goal conceded was a problem with the two centre-backs one after the other.
If Pellegrini can't solve the problems at the back, they can't get out of the Hornets!
So, the main problem that the Chileans are facing now is not how to activate the attack, but to solve the problem of defense! ”
The media has seen that Malaga's biggest problem now is defense, and Pellegrini is also helpless, and there are only a few defenders who can be used.
At noon on the same day, the official website of Malaga announced Li Chuanqi's injury, "After careful examination by the hospital, the middle of the fourth rib of Li's left rib was slightly cracked, and the soft tissue of the left rib was slightly contusion. Doctors think Lee will have to rest for ten days before he can get back in action! ”
Ten days?!
Malaga fans were taken aback, wasn't that going to miss the second leg against Borussia Dortmund?!
Can Malaga win without Lee?
Malaga fans took their anger out on the culprit Kyle, leaving a message on his social account:
"Lee will miss the second round, are you satisfied?"
"Despicable and shameless! Why are you so dirty? ”
"The next time you come to Malaga, I will definitely 'entertain' you!"
"I wish all of your family good health!"
Kyle was interviewed by the German media for the first time: "I said sorry to Lee, it was a game, I was in a hurry to fight, I didn't think about it that much.
No one wants to miss such an important game, and I can feel Lee's pain and the disappointment of the Malaga fans.
I wish him a speedy recovery! ”
The Malaga fan was quite unhappy with his apologies and continued to attack his social accounts.
It wasn't until an opinion piece from World Sports appeared that they stopped attacking Kyle's social accounts.
"In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Malaga went to the Stade de la Dragon, and before the game Pellegrini and Lee both said he was injured and could miss that game, and Lee started the game!
Pellegrini and Lee lied to the whole world.
Lee did leave the pitch briefly during the match against Borussia Dortmund in Malaga and did not appear in the mixed interview area.
So many people think that his injuries are very serious.
But our reporter went to the Malaga hospital for an unannounced visit, and Li was not in any hospital!
If it takes him ten days to return to the game, then the injury is still serious, so why is he not treated in hospital?
What does this mean?
It shows that Pellegrini is setting off smoke bombs again!
So, we think Lee will definitely be in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals! ”
Malaga fans were delighted to see the report.
Yes, Pellegrini is setting off smoke bombs again, which makes us worry in vain.
They both thank and hate Le Monde Sport, and you say that, isn't Pellegrini's smoke bomb in vain? Please keep in mind: Lily, URL mobile version PC version, Lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
