Chapter Seventy-Three, the most familiar opponent
"Mourinho is so hateful, what qualifications does he have to say Ye."
"What else is "naïve", what do you need to compete for the golden boot? ”
In the dressing room in Malaga.
The players are speaking for Yelo.
"Hey, hey, guys, how about we have a different celebration after Ye scores?"
Isco suggested loudly.
"How to celebrate?"
Everyone was interested.
A war of words, Mourinho is the master.
But the players of Malaga decided to respond to the master of the war of words on the pitch!
What could be more eye-catching than a post-goal celebration?
Everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
To say that Yelo responded to Mourinho's purpose, in fact, he is still working on his own system.
It's been a long time since I've brushed out side quests or anything.
It's so empty.
This time, Ye Luo was pleasantly surprised.
The war of words with Mourinho triggered two side quests.
【Golden Boot Battle】
Objective: Get the Golden Boot of the league this season!
Quest Reward: Determined by the quest score.
【Stadium Winner】
Objective: Respond to Jose Mourinho with a performance at home to Real Madrid in the 30th round of the league.
Quest Reward: Determined by the quest score.
One game, brush out two side quests.
Yelo has a good impression of Mourinho now.
A war of words or something, a little more, the more the merrier.
The Rose Garden Stadium was packed, and tickets were hard to come by.
The La Liga lift in Malaga is finally starting to have its peak moment again.
As a small team in the Andalusian region.
The team's pinnacle was winning the Eurototo Cup in 2002 after beating three strong teams: Legent Villarreal, Willem II and Villarreal.
However, the European Toto Cup is not a high gold medal.
It was a tournament held during the summer break for teams that failed to qualify for the Champions League or UEFA Cup, and was abolished in 2009.
And it's different from a regular cup competition.
The Toto Cup does not have a final single final to determine the champion, it is more like a qualifying tournament.
Since the final round of the Toto Cup is not only the championship and runner-up duel between two teams, but often 6 or more teams compete, the so-called champions of the Toto Cup are not representative, and the nature is completely different from the general cup champions, or the so-called champions of the Toto Cup cannot be called the champions, because there are too many teams in the so-called champions of one session, and they can only be regarded as a few places to qualify for the League Cup.
As a result, Málaga qualified for the UEFA Europa League after winning the Toto Cup, their first major European cup competition, and were beaten in the quarter-finals by Boavista, who were in full swing at the time.
Such a result is not something to brag about, or even humiliate to any big club – if you congratulate United on reaching the quarter-finals of the Europa League, people might think you're being a yin and yang.
But for Malaga.
Reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup is indeed the best result of the team.
And now the team can finish in the top four of La Liga, and there is a high probability that they will participate in the Champions League next season.
What's not to be satisfied with for Malaga fans?
So during this time, the Rose Garden Stadium can be said to be full, and many fans who do not have season tickets sometimes get up at seven or eight o'clock in the morning to queue up in order to buy tickets to the game - this point is indeed very desperate for Spaniards.
And today's game is even more favourite.
The opponent is Real Madrid, not to mention.
In the middle of an earlier match.
Villarreal drew 0-0 at home to Zaragoza.
Now Malaga have a game in hand, one point ahead of Villarreal.
If they can beat Real Madrid at home.
That would open up a four-point gap for fifth-placed Villarreal.
With a four-point gap, it will take at least two games to catch up.
So for the leader, this point difference is a little safer.
So this match is the best chance for Malaga to consolidate their fourth position.
As soon as the match in Villarreal ended, many Malaga fans walked out of their homes and flocked to the Rose Garden Stadium.
Yelo and his teammates got the news of the end of Villarreal's game on the bus to the stadium.
The result was clearly a delightful result for the Malaga-based players.
Quite a few people chanted "Long live Zaragoza".
Because of this score and result, the pressure on Malaga was suddenly a lot less.
Even if they lose this game, they won't drop out of the top four.
"Brothers! We can't afford to let up! Win Real Madrid, we're going to the Champions League! ”
Ye Luo stood up and raised his fist and shouted.
More players shouted.
"Champions League! Champions! Champions! We're going to the Champions League!! ”
Everyone stood up from their seats, waved their arms, and sang and danced.
The inside of the bus is quite lively.
Back-to-back victories have given the Malaga players a lot of confidence.
Even if the opponent is Real Madrid, there is no solemnity or fear on their faces.
This scene made Pellegrini laugh too.
This team, very active and passionate.
It's hopeful.
The players are already so passionate.
So before the game, Pellegrini didn't say any nonsense.
Just look at how they do on the pitch.
The game begins.
Malaga took advantage of the home advantage to launch the attack.
A wave of attacks in the first few minutes of the game is a strategy specified before the game.
"Malaga started the game with a fierce attack, which was really surprising, but . . . This is the posture that you should have when fighting on your home turf! ”
Said the receiver of Málaga TV.
The fans in the stands were also very excited.
Not many people want to see their team at home afraid to attack and defend in the low post.
That's too passionless.
The fans in the stands kept singing.
Especially now the darling of the whole of Malaga, Yelo, is the object of praise.
"Oh oh oh, look at it, this is our Ye Luo, he is from the Dragon Kingdom, he seems to be an omnipotent kung fu kid, he is left, he is right, no one can stop him!"
"Oh, oh, oh! No one can stop it! ”
This song is the first song created for Yelo by Malaga fans.
The fans are neither composers nor lyricists.
Therefore, the repertoire is selected from the songs that are often on the court.
As for the word-filling.
What stands out is that it is simple and crude.
The most important thing is that the melody is catchy, the lyrics are simple and direct, and everyone can sing together after listening to it once.
Under the offensive in Málaga.
The Rose Garden Stadium has been transformed into a choral stage.
The singing of Yelo is so frequent, because Yelo is the heart of Malaga and the football is basically passed to his feet.
And Ye Luo's performance is also quite active in the singing of tens of thousands of fans.
Ye Luo!! Almost! Another shot! In just two minutes he had already tried three shots on goal, which was the most dangerous of all, but unfortunately the ball went slightly wide of the goal! ”
The commentator of Málaga TV hugged his head in regret.
If you can score in the opening stages.
What a great start for Málaga – they were able to retract and play back and play on the counter-attack.
"Luck! We're just a little bit of luck! ”
The narrator said regretfully.
However, it was Ye Luo's left foot that had just finished shooting.
Yelo's main foot is the right foot.
Although his left foot is not a broken foot, his back-footed shot is quite reliable, but after all, it is not as threatening as the right foot, so this shot is a little off.
And this is also the deliberate intention of Real Madrid's defensive players - Yelo's characteristics have of course been studied under the microscope by countless managers and tactical experts.
Ye Luo's left foot is far less reliable than his right foot, just look at the game.
It's no secret.
Ye Luo covered his face with his hands regretfully.
But the game lasted less than ten minutes.
He still has a chance.
Jose Mourinho on the sidelines roared at the Real Madrid players on the pitch.
Express your anger.
At the same time, he glanced at Ye Luo, and didn't quite understand why Ye Luo suddenly seemed to be far more powerful than before when facing Real Madrid?
How could he possibly know
Real Madrid is the team that Yelo is most familiar with.
The tactical characteristics of this team, the strengths and weaknesses of the players, where are the weaknesses
Ye Luo was quite clear.
No way.
Who has played against this Real Madrid team hundreds of times in the virtual arena.
You will also know this opponent well.
Real Madrid's players are awkward.
They have a feeling.
It is Ye Luo who seems to be able to make accurate predictions for every defensive position they choose, every pass, and every choice whether it is defense or offense.
It's a terrible feeling.
This makes them a little uncertain.
So ten minutes passed.
Real Madrid failed to put in a good performance.
Under the leadership of Ye Luo.
Malaga launched a passionate attack.
Their midfielders are very athletic and have precise passing targets – just getting the ball to the feet of Malaga's twin stars.
Isco is in charge of organising, Yelo is in charge of breaking through, and Baptista is in charge of suppressing the opposing defenders and opening up space for Yelo to run and break through.
The characteristics of the three are different.
But the combination is very powerful.
Putting a lot of pressure on Real Madrid's backline.
Jose Mourinho is well aware that Malaga's defence is a far cry from their front trident.
So there are a lot of holes in the back of Malaga that can be exploited.
But it's one thing to see it on the sidelines.
It's one thing for the players on the pitch to be able to exploit these holes.
Now Real Madrid is feeling the pressure.
Málaga's attacks came in waves, wave after wave.
In the front of Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo and center forward Higuain did not return to defense, and the defense of Evil Beggars and Di Maria was only symbolic - in the end, it became two midfielders and four defenders, and six people were trying to defend.
This scene made Real Madrid fans a little in a trance.
They seem to have seen what Real Madrid's team looked like before Mourinho took over.
The front court is full of superstars, and a group of big names are basically not involved in defense.
And the backcourt is exhausted.
At one time, "Ronaldo in the front, Casilla in the back".
It's a bit similar to the scene now.
Cristiano. Ronaldo stands near the center circle.
The long ball that had just been given to him by a teammate was pushed out by Demichelis one step ahead.
He waved his hand a little annoyed - the opposing defenders mentioned this position, and there was a big gap behind them!
However, football just can't be transmitted.
In front of the media.
Cristiano. Ronaldo is always confident.
Ye Luo wants to get the Golden Boot, he always doesn't care, Lao Tzu must be the attitude of the Golden Boot.
But in fact, he felt the threat of Ye Luo.
Seventeen league games and twenty-six goals were scored.
This goal efficiency is a bit staggering even in Ronaldo's heart.
The opponent is now only four goals behind him.
The footsteps of the pursuers behind them could already be heard.
This competition is the best opportunity for him to give a live education to that challenger: Want to challenge me? You don't have the strength yet!
Even how to celebrate, what to say in the interview after the game, Ronaldo has already thought about it.
But now, football just can't reach his feet, and Málaga, which is playing at home, is full of momentum, and the cheers of the Rose Garden Stadium are wave after wave.
In the midst of this burst of cheers.
Manuel Pellegrini stood on the sidelines, looking calm on the surface, but in fact he was very anxious inside.
He knows that with the strength of Real Madrid, as long as they recover.
Then Malaga is going to be out of luck.
After all, Mourinho's Real Madrid is the signature of a quick counterattack.
Once the ball was passed to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria.
Let their counterattacks fight.
Then Malaga's goal is dangerous.
Real Madrid's long pass from the back showed that they were already trying to counter-attack – and if it hadn't been for Demichelis' timely scramble, Real Madrid would have been able to hit the counter-attack.
So. Malaga need to score!!
To press up and grab the attack is to catch the opponent off guard.
Real Madrid most likely didn't expect Malaga to dare to take the initiative.
If the opponent reacts, it is you who is unlucky.
It's a double-edged sword!
Malaga will be dangerous if they can't finish the goal.
Pellegrini was anxious inside, but his face was calm, and he couldn't show any anxious look.
Because he feared that it could shake the team's determination and morale, giving Real Madrid an opportunity.
And on the sidelines.
Jose Mourinho has returned to the dugout.
It was the eighteenth minute of the game.
He doesn't believe Malaga can continue to attack - if that's the case, then Real Madrid's counterattack is not vegetarian!
Malaga's assault was about to come to naught.
They lost first.
That's next
When it's Real Madrid's turn to fight back, they may not be able to stand it!!
