Chapter 283: "No cowardice tonight, we are warriors!" ”
Malaga and Real Madrid are about to start a big game, and instead of a war of words between the fans of the two teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona fans have a war of words.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
This is a phenomenon that belongs exclusively to Spanish football.
The two teams compete for the most successful club in Spain, and every matchup is like a final.
Fans of both teams often taunt each other.
Last season, Barcelona was empty, and Real Madrid fans humiliated Barcelona in revenge for winning the "six crowns" in 2009.
That year was Barcelona's brightest moment, with all the trophies it could get, and naturally, Real Madrid's big four were empty.
Barcelona fans were excited and ridiculed Real Madrid.
The feud between the two teams has been going on since the beginning of its existence.
It has something to do with history, it has something to do with politics.
……
At 7 p.m. on May 9, the Bernabeu was crowded.
The clash of the spotlights between Malaga and Real Madrid is about to begin.
Players from both sides warm up on the court.
Reporters set up long guns and short guns on the sidelines.
Four referees are also warming up, and this big battle will affect the production of La Liga titles this season and they must take it seriously.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the darling of the Bernabeu, and every time he performs well, he will cause the Real Madrid fans to cheer.
Mourinho watched Málaga's warm-up and paid particular attention to Li Chuanqi.
At half past seven, the players from both sides returned to the locker room.
Home team dressing room.
After announcing the starting lineup and tactical set-up, Pellegrini began to boost morale and said in a deep voice: "The decisive moment has come!"
There is no cowardice tonight, we are warriors!
No backing down tonight, we are warriors!
No cowardice tonight, we are a great bunch!
For the championship, tonight, we will do our best! We will do our best! ”
The words resonated.
Joaquín beckoned the players to the middle of the locker room, and everyone folded their hands and shouted along with Joaquin:
"There is no cowardice tonight, we are warriors!
No backing down tonight, we are warriors!
No cowardice tonight, we are a great bunch!
For the championship, tonight, we will do our best! We will do our best! ”
The locker room is full of fire and pride!
Home team dressing room.
Mourinho said in a deep voice: "Although we don't have a chance to compete for the title, we can influence the production of the champion!"
I hate Barcelona for winning the title, but that's football.
Tonight, for the sake of our highest honour, for the defense of the Bernabeu, go all out!
I want to see the best in everyone!
I don't think anyone wants to be killed by one team in one season! ”
That match at the Rose Garden Stadium made a big impression on the Real Madrid players.
They certainly didn't want to be double-killed by Malaga.
Ramos exclaimed: "Defend the Bernabeu!" ”
The Real Madrid stars shouted: "Defend the Bernabeu!" ”
"Defend the Bernabeu!"
"Defend the Bernabeu!"
……
At eight o'clock, the starters of both sides appeared in the tunnel of the players.
Real Madrid players lined up in a neat line under the leadership of Ramos, with Cristiano Ronaldo belatedly at the bottom of the line.
Big names are like that.
Li Chuanqi didn't do that, he is the youngest player on the team, and he doesn't consider himself a big name.
Players on both sides did not greet each other, and neither of them had each other in their eyes.
At 10:00 a.m., four referees led the players from both sides out of the player tunnel!
They were greeted by a tsunami of cheers.
Some Real Madrid fans put up banners: 1,000 home wins!
If Real Madrid can get their wish tonight, that's their 1,000 home league wins!
What a terrifying number.
The Madrid TV commentator exclaimed: "With the players of both sides entering the stadium, it is a sign that this battle of the spotlight is about to begin!"
Since the Copa del Rey final is on May 18, the matchup between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid has been brought forward to tonight!
Now for the starting line-ups.
Pellegrini comes out in a four-two-three-one formation: Caballero; Defenders: Sergio Sanchez, Demichelis, Wiligeton, Monreal; Double midfielders: Tulalang, Camacho; Three midfielders: Joaquin, Insco, Lee; Single Striker: Santa Cruz!
With the return of Willy Caballero and Demichelis, Málaga's defence problems have improved somewhat.
However, this line of defense is far from returning to its peak state.
Real Madrid have two people to watch out for when defending, one is Santa Cruz, who has scored in four consecutive games and is in good form.
The other is Lee, who has not scored in two consecutive games.
But he had five assists in those two games!
That's a scary number!
Shows that he is making some kind of change!
Mourinho also lined up in a four-two-three-one formation: goalkeeper: Diego López; Four defenders: Nacho, Varane, Ramos, Coentrão; Double midfielders: Alonso, Essien; Three defenders: Mesut Ozil, Luka Modric, Ronaldo; Center: Benzema! ”
Essien is finally back in the midfield position he is most familiar with.
In the first half, Real Madrid visited the Rose Garden Stadium, and in that game Essien played at right-back, and was blown up by Li Chuanqi in the first half.
At half-time, Jose Mourinho harshly criticized Essien, and the two got into a verbal altercation.
Jose Mourinho asked Essien to find his own home in the winter transfer.
After returning to Madrid, Mourinho changed his mind and approached Essien for a heart-to-heart conversation, retracting his words.
He also promised to look for opportunities for him to play in the familiar midfield position.
Tonight, he gave Essien a chance.
Mourinho gave him the task tonight to assist Nacho in defending Li Chuanqi.
The Málaga TV commentator shouted: "Malaga fans!
The three key battles for the title of Malaga have arrived!
The results of these three games will determine whether Malaga can win La Liga this season!
What a source of pride!
Now the media and fans all over the world are paying attention to this game!
Malaga is in the limelight!
Hopefully they'll put on a great show for us tonight!
Come on!
Malaga!
You're not alone!
Behind you are millions of Malaga's citizens! ”
Behind the bench in Malaga, Blanca Padilla sat with Li Chuanqi's family.
In order not to affect Li Chuanqi's game, Blanca Padilla did not go to Li Chuanqi.
……
The match between Malaga and Real Madrid attracted the attention of the entire Spanish football world, because it was a midweek match, and the teams did not play.
The Barcelona players are also watching the game, and they will either choose to watch it alone at home or get together to watch it.
Pique's mansion is home to a large number of Barcelona players, including Iniesta and Xavi.
This illustrates Pique's impact in the Barça dressing room.
Shakira was busy preparing fruit and drinks for Pique and his teammates.
The Latin diva has a very stable relationship with Pique.
Pique greeted his teammates with pride.
Messi chose to watch this important match at home alone.
