Chapter 85, the final round of the league
"We lost to a genius."
At the post-match press conference.
Laudrup refused to say anything about his two centre-backs 'dodging the ball'
For a manager, he can point at a player's nose in the dressing room and scold.
But you can't speak ill of your players in front of the media.
This is unethical.
So even if Laudrup was unhappy, he didn't directly expose it.
Rather, they reject any questions and discussions from the media in this regard.
Pellegrini, on the other hand, did not hesitate to give praise to Yelo.
"He's the best player in the world right now!"
Pellegrini said.
Of course, this has sparked a discussion in the media without any suspense.
After this round of the league, Real Madrid and Barcelona in the championship group all won, but in the media pages, Malaga and Yelo overtook Real Madrid Barcelona and became the protagonists of this round of the league.
And Ye Luo's eleven consecutive league goals also successfully broke the previous record, and now this record of consecutive goals belongs to Ye Luo alone.
But perhaps it is the extremes of things that must be reversed, and the extremes of prosperity must decline.
In the thirty-third round of the league.
Malaga were beaten 1-0 away at Athletic Bilbao.
The match ended Malaga's unbeaten run of seventeen matches from the fourteenth round of the league to the thirty-third round of the league.
It also ended their ten-game winning streak.
Yelo's streak of goals also stands at 11 games.
"It's nothing, it's just a fresh start."
After the loss, Ye Luo's face was not very good-looking, and he left the court while talking in front of the reporter's microphone.
After losing this game.
Malaga are just one point ahead of fifth-placed Atletico Madrid!
This change in points has made many Malaga fans quite nervous.
It also annoyed Pellegrini.
"There are still a few rounds left in the league and every game is a final for us! We can't afford to lose – and if we lose this game, we're only one point ahead! We were in a very good position! We can even catch up with third place! However, now that we have lost that position, we now have to accept and fight for the top four opponents until the final round! Who is responsible for this pressure, it is you who are responsible!! ”
Pellegrini scolded everyone so much that they couldn't hold their heads up.
After more than half a season.
He has managed to establish himself as an authority within the team.
"Don't blame me for putting pressure on you, because the pressure is nothing now, and if we can't even bear this pressure, why should we play in the Champions League!!"
There are only five rounds left in the league.
For Malaga.
The only good news after the defeat is that the schedule is over for three consecutive away games.
This is followed by three consecutive home games.
And the opponents are not strong teams.
In the 34th round of the league, Malaga hosted Racing Santander.
Some media outlets poured cold water on Málaga in this game, believing that they were about to enter a period of downward form.
In this crucial period of the final rounds of the league towards the end of the season, Malaga was suddenly out of form.
And their core player, Yelo, looks to be going down.
It's been half a season, and as a "new star", he's been breaking out long enough.
It's time for a state "break".
Due to the sudden appearance of Yelo, a rival between Messi and Ronaldo.
Similar arguments continue to appear in the big Spanish media.
This is what these media expect.
Expect Malaga to stop winning, expect Yelo to stop scoring.
However, back at home, Malaga beat Racing Santander cleanly 3-0.
Yelo scored two goals in this game.
He scored his 34th league goal.
Málaga also won the next two games against Hekus in the 35th round of the league and against Sporting Gijón in the 36th round of the league.
Yelo also scored a goal in each of those two games, continuing the scoring streak.
In the 37th round of the league, Malaga will go to Levante away.
It was a tough game in Málaga.
Until the eighty-seventh minute of the game.
Yelo blasted the opponent's goal with a direct free-kick.
While killing the opponent, he also increased his league goal tally to 37!!
So far.
The focal point of everything.
All focused on the final round of La Liga this season!
For Malaga.
After a four-game winning streak, they are fourth in the league with 65 points, three points behind third-placed Valencia and three points ahead of fifth-placed Atletico Madrid.
The final round of the league.
Valencia plays away to Barcelona.
And Malaga plays away at Atletico Madrid.
If Malaga wins and Valencia loses, then Malaga will be able to overtake Valencia and move into third place in the league.
In the case of a tie in La Liga, the rankings will be prioritized to compare each other's records.
Málaga and Valencia's head-to-head record is: Malaga lost 0-1 at home to Valencia and beat Valencia 2-0 away, with an aggregate score of 2-1.
So as long as Malaga wins, they have a chance to finish third in the league.
And Barcelona are motivated enough to win this game – they are now only one point ahead of Real Madrid!
By a point, they didn't even dare to draw.
Therefore, it is unlikely that Valencia will be able to get out of the stadium at Camp Nou.
Atletico Madrid is also part of the race for the top four.
A home win over Malaga at Atletico Madrid would level the level of points between the two sides.
But considering that Atletico Madrid lost 3-1 away to Malaga.
So they have to go 2-0, or at least two goal difference, to have a chance of overtaking Málaga in fourth.
And in addition to fighting for the fourth and the championship.
The media is also paying attention to the competition for the La Liga scorer list, which is extremely lively this season and has attracted the attention of the world!
Yelo scored thirty-seven league goals.
But he's still third – tied with Messi for second to be exact.
Cristiano. Ronaldo overtook Lionel Messi and moved to the top of the table with thirty-eight league goals.
Although his results are quite impressive.
Take a look at the results of the goalscorers behind the trio:
Fourth place: Villa, 21 goals.
Fifth: Sergio Aguero, 20 goals.
Sixth place: Pedro, 17 goals.
After that, 15 goals, 14 goals.
In fact, this is "normal".
It's not just La Liga.
The scorers of the other five major leagues are actually at a similar level.
In the Bundesliga, about 20 goals in a perennial season can get a small steel cannon.
The Premier League's all-time single-season goal record is only 34.
For example, Villa, who finished fourth, could have competed for the Golden Boot this season if they were lucky in the past.
So Yelo's thirty-seven league goals are shocking enough.
Even if he doesn't win the Golden Boot this season, absolutely no one will take a look at his achievements.
At least.
This year's Golden Boy Award is ironclad.
No one can compete with Ye Luo for this award.
The Golden Boy is an award created in 2003 by the Italian newspaper Torino Sport. The award is voted for by major European media outlets for the Young Player of the Year and is also considered a "rite of passage" for young rookies. The selection must be for young players under the age of 21 who play for European clubs.
But now don't say it's a player under the age of 21, there are few players over the age of 21 who can be compared to Ye Luo.
However, Ye Luo was definitely not satisfied with this.
He is hungry for the Golden Boot.
Match against Atletico Madrid in the final round of the league.
It's too much for Malaga.
The top three, Ye Luo's golden boots.
The topic is also full enough.
These days, there are a lot more fans who drive to the team's training base to watch the team train, and support the team with slogans.
The media also gathered here.
Detailed coverage of each day of the team's preparation.
Time.
The training base was crowded and lively.
In addition to the fans, it is the journalists.
This season's Malaga is finally not the little transparent of the previous La Liga - before this, where did you see so many reporters in the small base of Malaga.
As the season draws to a close.
Various transfer rumours are also rampant.
In the whole of Europe, who is the hottest right now?
That has to be Ye Luo!
That's not to say he's now considered the best player in the world.
but
Among the superstars at the top level.
Yelo, is the only player who could have been taken away from his parent team!
Other.
Are you going to take Messi from Barcelona?
The current president of Barcelona has not gone crazy again.
Are you going to take Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid? He was still at his peak, how could the shrewd Florentino let him go.
Not to mention a player of this level.
The core of the first-line giants is not too easy to dig.
But what a giant is Malaga.
Isn't it a matter for the big teams to poach their stars?
Therefore, many teams with a little money and a little fame have begun to salivate for Malaga, and they all want to take away Yelo, the popular fried chicken in today's football.
With the efforts of the toilet newspapers from all walks of life.
Yelo is not done this season.
At least a dozen clubs will play for next season.
Around the training base, fans and journalists were around.
This scene has given many Málaga club workers confidence in the future.
Although the team changed owners.
But most of the staff were not replaced.
After all, there are many people who have worked here for more than ten years, more than 20 years, and even from 18 to 60 years old.
On the one hand, they are the club's long-time employees, and on the other hand, the team's most loyal fans.
They have a deeper affection for Malaga than anyone else.
They don't like Malaga because of any star or because of the results they can boast of.
Since childhood, they have been fans of Malaga.
Their father, mother, grandparents, are also fans of Malaga.
They never liked Malaga because it was a team that could compete for the title.
And just because, it's their home team.
That's all.
Yelo is desperate to win the league's Golden Boot.
Of course, he is even more eager to finish in the top four and play in the Champions League!
From a technical point of view.
Today's UEFA Champions League is a more technical event than the World Cup.
The technical content of the Champions League final is usually more than that of the World Cup final - excluding the nationalism and nationalist emotions carried by the World Cup, purely from a technical point of view, the top clubs compare the top national teams, on the one hand, the top clubs are selected from the world's best players, and at the same time, the clubs can carry out longer tactical run-in. The national team can't do both.
For Ye Luo himself.
He may not be able to play in the World Cup for the rest of his life.
So.
The Champions League is the highest level and level of football he can play.
It's a World Cup for him alone
The Dragon Country media are also warming up for this match.
[This is Ye Luo's final! 】
[Málaga: Advance to the Champions League!] 】
[Whose house does the flower fall to?] The battle for the Golden Boot! 】
All of a sudden.
Various headlines appeared in the headlines of the media.
And the reason why the media is so serious about this game.
It is because for the first time that a Dragon player has the opportunity to compete for the Golden Boot of the five major leagues, and it is also the first time that a Dragon player is the core to lead the team to the Champions League.
It's not that no Dragons player has played in the Champions League before that.
But there's no way to get the attention of Ye Luo.
Prior to this, two Dragons players had made Champions League appearances.
The first is Sun Xiang, who plays for PSV Eindhoven, on February 21, 2007, in the first leg of the 2006-2007 Champions League 1/8 finals, PSV Eindhoven faced Arsenal. In the 66th minute, Sun Xiang came on as a substitute and achieved a breakthrough of the Dragon Country players in the Champions League.
The second is Dong Yuanzhuo, on December 12, 2007, in the group stage of the 2007-2008 Champions League, Manchester United faced Roma. In the 72nd minute, Dong Yuanzhuo came on as a substitute for Rooney and became the second Dragon player in the Champions League. However, the performance was mediocre.
These are the only two appearances in the Champions League by Dragons players.
Both are fringe players at their respective clubs.
So even if you play, it's hard to have any outstanding performance.
But Ye Luo can be different.
He is at the heart of Malaga!
If you don't leave Malaga this summer transfer window, you will be able to participate in the Champions League as the heart of Malaga!
And with Ye Luo's crazy performance in La Liga, it is normal for the media in the Dragon Country to be full of expectations for Ye Luo.
Ye Luo will definitely be able to see another zero breakthrough for the players of the Dragon Kingdom: scoring in the Champions League!
Originally, because the game time of La Liga was not friendly, and the broadcast technology was not as good as the Premier League.
The league that is getting more attention in China now is the Premier League.
But now Ye Luo has brought up the craze of La Liga, and the number of people paying attention to La Liga in China has instantly surpassed the Premier League.
A female Zhao Sun and Moon can turn many Dragon Country fans into NBA fans, not to mention football, how aggrieved Dragon Country fans are in football is simply not enough for outsiders.
In the limelight.
The final round of the league came as scheduled.
At Calderón Stadium.
Malaga take on Atletico Madrid away from home.
Atletico Madrid, playing at home, can't afford to give up hope – they only need to beat Malaga by more than two goals to overtake them in the table.
The two teams on this occasion are for both sides.
It's all a final!
