In the 2011-2012 La Liga season preview, Sevilla hosted Málaga in the season opener, Málaga made a big deal of reinforcements, their squad has been greatly updated, from the warm-up match, Pellegrini abandoned the effective three-back defensive counter-attacking tactics in Malaga last season, and instead sought more active pressing and possession.

Seville, inside the office of the first team's training base.

Seville's new manager, Marcelino, who took office in June this year, is the new head coach of Seville. Garcia put down his hand to make a preview of the season.

His opponent is Málaga, who had a frantic 11-game winning streak last season.

However, this season's Malaga and last season's Malaga are obviously not the same team, their main squad has changed very much, and whether this change is a good thing for Malaga.

Marcelino, in his opinion, is really not necessarily!

Perhaps Malaga can move up the top of La Liga in the future with this squad.

However, Málaga, which is now in a period of change, may not be able to play the power of this line-up.

Change always comes with labor pains!

On top of that, what gives Marcelino confidence in this game is Yelo's form.

In the preview report of [As] newspaper, the question of Yelo's status was mentioned!

Rookie Wall!

Yes, although a rookie like Ye Luo is a bit too showy, but who dares to say that he won't exist in the rookie wall?

Málaga played six warm-up games before the start of the season.

In these six warm-up games, how many goals did Ye Luo score?

Four!

Scored four goals in six games, this goal efficiency is said to be okay, and it is the goal efficiency of a first-class striker.

But if it were on Yelo's head, especially when compared to his insane form last season, it would be completely dwarfed.

So it's easy to conclude that after an offseason, Yelo's form hasn't reached his peak.

On the whole: Málaga's lineup has changed a lot, and Yelo, the core of the frontcourt that relies on the most, is not in good shape. At the same time, it also encountered the main goalkeeper who was recalled by the parent team before the preseason, and the Champions League group stage suffered a super death group.

This has led Marcelino to believe that his opponent Malaga will not be in much better form in this game.

Meanwhile.

Sevilla are in great form.

Three consecutive wins in the warm-up matches.

It was still in a little official cup competition such as the Audi Cup that won against Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.

Sevilla did not perform well last season, but they certainly have a foundation in La Liga.

They have defended the UEFA Cup and are the second team in La Liga to defend their European title – the first being Real Madrid.

Although Sevilla FC has had ups and downs in recent seasons, their fame and heritage are worthy of being one of the giants of La Liga.

Plus sitting at home.

It's also a derby from Andalusia.

This opener match.

Sevilla still have a great chance of winning at home!

Marcelino thought confidently.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!”

Sevilla, Estadio Pizjuan.

More than 40,000 Sevilla fans still had the excitement on their faces that had just started the game, but their faces were already visibly stiff.

Under the boiling commentary seats.

Sevilla coach Marcelino jumped up from the dugout.

His expression changed dramatically.

The pre-match calmness and self-confidence have disappeared at this time.

Before the game, the rhetoric of "we're going to give them a little bit of color at home" is still ringing in my ears.

But at this moment.

It was the Malagans who were celebrating the goal!

The big screen at the Pizjuán Stadium locked on a smiling Yelo.

Ye Luo!! Whoop! Beautiful! We didn't even have time to start the broadcast, and we had already scored on the spot! It was Ye Luo who scored the goal!! Malaga take the lead away from home! The goal was less than twenty seconds away! ”

Duan Xuan, the commentator of the Dragon Country National Television, shouted excitedly.

During this time, many domestic media in Dragon Country reprinted the reports of Spanish media, which made Dragon Country fans a little anxious.

What roster changes too much, what rookie wall, what preseason bad form and so on.

However, all this doubt and uneasiness were shattered in front of such a goal!

"Awesome!!"

"Bunker!"

"Cool!"

"What does it mean to be neat!"

In the cheers of the fans of Malaga and the Dragon Country.

The whole process of the goal just now began to be replayed on the TV screen.

With the referee's whistle.

Center forward Ruud van Nistelrooy passed the ball back to the defender Tulalang, Tulalang received the ball and kicked the ball, handed the ball to Joaquín, one of your three midfielders, Joaquin passed the ball diagonally, looking for Isco who played on the left winger in this game, Isco received the ball and dribbled past a defender to go down, and then inverted the triangle back to Cazorla who received it on the left side of the penalty area.

Cazorla was ready to pass the ball before he received it.

The ball was picked by him to the right side of the penalty area.

Ye Luo had already plugged in at high speed at this time, and pushed the ball with his right foot!

Aiming at the angle of the far pillar!

If you don't stop the ball, you can shoot with your feet.

Soccer cleanly dares to drill into the goal from the far end!!

Meanwhile.

The scoreboard on the big screen of the stadium has also changed.

0:1

The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.

Sevilla lagged behind.

Yelo was in excellent form, and that shot was a half-volley with the arch of his foot tapped into the far corner.

It's very relaxed, and the state is very relaxed.

This made Marcelino realize. All my pre-match assumptions were wrong.

Ye Luo didn't have any bad state at all.

The opening time was less than twenty seconds.

Sevilla FC conceded a goal, which is almost the equivalent of starting the game with a goal down!

"Beautiful! Yelo's received a pass from Cazorla and sent the ball into the goal! This shot was completed quite calmly, and the average player who reached this position may have a burst shot with the instep! But let's look at Yelo. He watched the ball first, then the goalkeeper, and then shot in the most accurate way possible! ”

Andres, the commentator of Radio Corbe, sighed in the commentary seat.

"Rookie Wall? Is there still a wall in this world that can stop Ye Luo from scoring goals? ”

Marcelino called Rakitic, the heart of Sevilla's midfield, over to teach him a face-to-face opportunity.

"They've taken the lead, so we're going to take the initiative to press and attack, watch out for their counter-attacks!"

Marcelino quickly explained in Rakitic's ear.

After taking the lead, Málaga will likely play the defensive counter-attack that they are good at.

After all, there are now four midfielders in Malaga – and Isco can go back to playing in midfield.

So now Sevilla may be at risk of being beaten by Malaga in the way they do best.

However, before the game, Marcelino's strategy for Sevilla was to take the initiative at home.

So now it's just going according to plan.

Rakitic is a midfielder with a fairly high level of skill.

Able to attack and defend well, and run actively.

He can press up and act as an attacking midfielder when he needs to attack.

He can also defend in the low post when needed.

So after the game restarts.

Rakitic took the initiative to put his position on the premise, intending to help the team strengthen the attack.

But what everyone didn't expect was this

After scoring the goal, Malaga didn't pull back to play on the counter-attack like they did last season.

Instead, he carried out a high-intensity frontcourt press, grabbed the ball back, and then continued to suppress Sevilla to attack.

And when Malaga took the initiative to attack.

Sevilla's players found themselves awkward to defend.

Although Yelo played as a right winger in this game, he was an adducted winger, equivalent to a winger's style of play, he had just been active in the rib area of the penalty area, and he alone pressed Sevilla's defense line and did not dare to move, not to mention that there was also the king of the small penalty area Vanney in the center position, and Sevilla's players did not dare to let go of Vanney.

And on the other side.

Isco's left side is not a winger, but a wide midfielder, which is equivalent to putting a player who is good at passing the ball on the wing.

This combination of completely different styles of attack from both sides makes Malaga's attacking arsenal seem rich.

And Isco, Cazorla, and Joaquín will also make frequent changes.

All three are players who can play on the wings and in the middle.

All have considerable offensive ability.

Especially when Yelo pinned down Sevilla's defence.

Sevilla tried to fight back, but found there was no way to get up.

Malaga's three midfielders Tulalang, Joaquín and Isco, and three strikers Isco, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Yelo.

At the same time, the full-backs on both sides, Sergio. Sanchez and Monterrey both have considerable assist ability, and although they are not well-known, they are both mature players who have been in La Liga for many years, and their performances are very consistent.

And the two central defenders, Demichelis and Mathieson, are the main internationals of Argentina and the Netherlands respectively!

Sevilla's sporadic counter-attacks were deflected away by the two centre-backs from Malaga.

Passive defensively.

Poor counterattack.

The game soon fell into Málaga's control.

"Malaga have strengthened their squad this season and looking at how much they are now on the pitch, I even see a real strong team!"

Andres said with some surprise.

'The run-in in Malaga looked smooth and they looked very skilled in the middle and back lines, which of course may have something to do with the lack of pressure on them from Sevilla.

"But with Yelo up front, he single-handedly pinned down at least three Sevilla players, and in this case, Sevilla wanted to put enough pressure on Malaga's midfielders. It's also difficult for some strong people! ”

"Malaga has come out stronger this season!"

Many commentators also saw it.

Sevilla FC were completely overpowered by Malaga on the pitch.

Both sides don't even look like teams at the same level.

In fact.

The gap between the two sides is not as big as it appears on the field.

And the reason why it is the current situation

The camera gives a close-up of Yelo and gives the answer.
