Chapter 139, what is the champion mentality?
"It's over! It's over! Malaga drew 2-2 at home with Bayern Munich, and scored 14 points with four wins and two draws in six games in the group stage, one point more than Bayern Munich and ranked first in the group, while Bayern Munich could only be relegated to second place in the group! In this group of super death, who would have thought that Malaga would actually break through as the first in the group! ”
On the commentary seat.
Schmitz shouted.
What followed was a burst of cheers.
In the final stage of the competition.
The mood of the fans in Malaga is nothing short of a rollercoaster.
When attacking in Malaga, their emotions were at their peak, and when Bayern Munich attacked, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
But the good thing is.
Malaga eventually withstood it.
They held on to this draw.
And with this draw, they beat Bayern by one point and are at the top of the standings!
"Congratulations to Malaga, they are now top of Group A!"
"Bayern Munich finished second in the group and the result of the other game didn't really mean much, AC Milan finally beat Manchester City 1-0 on their home turf to claim their only win in six group games, but they ended up one point behind Manchester City and finished last in the group, while Manchester City finished third in the group and fell to the last 32 of the Europa League.'
Andres was excited.
Malaga finished first, squeezing Bayern Munich into second place in the group, while also knocking out Manchester City and AC Milan.
This is not a good thing for Malaga.
Good for the whole of La Liga.
Now in the Champions League points, La Liga has a posture to surpass the Premier League, the Premier League was very strong in the Champions League a few years ago, and La Liga played three English against Lu Bu - Barcelona and three Premier League teams entered the semi-finals.
Although in the end, most of them were won by Barcelona.
But in terms of European points, there are more people who can't stand it.
So now the European points ranking is: Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga.
There is not much difference between them.
But because of this points ranking.
The Premier League has four Champions League places, and as long as you get the top four, you will go directly to the group stage of the Champions League.
And La Liga and Serie A are both 3+1.
The top three qualify directly for the Champions League, with the fourth place going to play a play-off.
There are only three places available in the Bundesliga.
So, in this case, any team's Champions League results will have an impact on the European standings.
For La Liga, it is quite a surprise that a small team like Malaga, which was expected to be a drag on its feet, is now beating Bayern Munich to top the group.
With this result, if the performance of La Liga teams can be slightly better this season, after this season, La Liga will surpass the Premier League to become the top league in European points, which is just around the corner.
And Malaga is the first in the group, and there is a high probability that they will draw a team that is not so strong.
This means:
There is also a good chance that Málaga will reach the quarter-finals – they have performed so well against strong teams.
And within Spain.
Most of the media agrees.
For Malaga.
The first place in the Champions League group is already an overfulfillment of this season's European task.
At the end of the whistle, the camera lens locked on Ye Luo for the first time.
His hair was completely drenched with sweat, and he smiled excitedly, clenched his fists in celebration, and then hugged the players from Malaga one by one.
The first place in the group is indeed a cause for celebration for Malaga.
And Yelo broke the record in this game, which is also big news.
"Thirteen goals in six group games! It's hard to imagine if Malaga could go far in the Champions League. How many goals will Yelo score, and how far will he extend his Champions League single-season scoring record? ”
At the post-match press conference.
Heynckes shook his head and said: "It's a pity that we didn't win this game in the end, Malaga is very strong, especially Yelo, I can even say that Bayern Munich is the second group that lost to Yelo for Bayern Munich, there is nothing, this is also qualifying, we will go as far as possible in the Champions League, champion?" We'll come one step at a time. ”
"It's a tough game." "But luckily we still won the group and it means a lot to us. ”
'Yelo is our captain and I've never seen a player of his type, his future? His future is not something I can predict, he is already the best in the world right now, as for his future. Maybe he'll be the best footballer of all time. ”
Pellegrini said.
The reporters looked at each other.
Best ever?
This is also an exaggeration.
Ye Luo has only played well for more than half a season now.
After the game.
The home draw with Bayern Munich in Malaga was the focus of the global sports media.
Of course, the reason is not that Malaga beat Bayern Munich to take first place – although this is also news, it does not meet the standards of the global sports media to make headlines.
And to be able to meet this standard.
It was Ye Luo who set a new record.
Scored 13 goals in six games in the Champions League group stage.
This goal efficiency has stunned the whole world.
People began to speculate about what kind of crazy record Yelo will create this season!
'Malaga has at least two Champions League games to play, can Yelo still score? I think it's pointless, he's definitely going to score, he's going to extend the record he's set this season, and we can see that in the Champions League in the future, until a new record appears, the name Yelo will not be able to be bypassed! This season's Champions League matches are destined to leave the name of a striker named Yelo. ”
The French authoritative media [European Football] focused on Yelo's record-breaking review after all the group stages of the Champions League in this round.
In the Dragon Kingdom, Ye Luo's record-breaking incident has also become a hot search in the news.
Dragon Nation fans feel like they're dreaming.
This kind of record, which only the best players can break, has now been broken by a Dragon Nation player.
And the funny thing is.
This Dragon Country player actually had no chance with the Dragon Country National Team.
All of a sudden.
The FA was sprayed again.
They can only be turtles with shrunken heads, and they have not dared to show their heads recently
For Malaga.
After this period of the Champions League group stage, the task of European competition has come to an end for the time being, and when all the other games in the Champions League group stage have been played, UEFA will conduct the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League.
The Champions League knockout rounds will not be until February next year, and there are still more than two months to go.
But at the same time, the Spanish Copa del Rey matches followed.
For Málaga now, it's just a step at a time, if they reach the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey in February, then it's the league, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.
Fighting on three fronts is a bit difficult for big clubs, let alone Malaga.
But that's all something to worry about in the future.
Now for Malaga.
It's about winning the game as much as possible.
Played the final round of the Champions League group stage.
The team is about to face a league game at home.
In the fourteenth round of the league, Malaga hosts Real Sociedad.
The match was scheduled two and a half days after the match against Bayern Munich.
As a result, the team rotated to a considerable extent.
Yelo scored a brace in the game to score his eighteenth goal in the league.
But Malaga still lost.
Real Sociedad is a team that plays strongly.
Even Barcelona and Real Madrid have capsized in the gutter and been beaten by Real Sociedad.
Malaga also tasted the power of the real world this time.
They lost 3-2 at home to Real Sociedad and tasted defeat for the first time this season.
This game is followed by the Copa del Rey match.
But halfway through the season, injuries began to emerge one after another.
Isco suffered an ankle injury in training.
After the examination, you will be out of action for at least two weeks.
This was followed by Ruud van Nistelrooy and Mathieson who also experienced tightness in their back thigh muscles.
If you have a muscle problem, you will have to miss at least a week.
However, the next opponent is not a strong team.
It's a match in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey.
Málaga were drawn from a team from the lower divisions, Miranda sur Ebro in the Spanish third division.
There is also a translation to Milandez Football Club.
However, the official translation of the team's name in Dragon Country is Miranda upon Ebro FC.
I don't know who translated this translation, it's full of the flavor of the grass platform.
Originally, most people thought that Malaga would definitely have a big rotation in this game.
After all, the opponent is only a team from the Spanish third division.
But what people didn't expect was this
Malaga is indeed a big rotation, but Yelo still starts!
Originally, Miranda upon Ebro had no intention of continuing to entangle in the Copa del Rey.
Because they also know that it is impossible for the West C team to continue in the Copa del Rey.
The format of the Copa del Rey is complex.
The 20 teams in La Liga were added in the round of 32 in the fourth round.
Then there is the fifth round (quarterfinals) and the sixth round (quarterfinals).
This was followed by the semi-finals and the finals.
Each round is a two-game contest between home and away.
To win the Copa del Rey, you have to play 10 games.
It can be said that there is quite a burden.
A La Liga team has to win the treble of La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey.
He had to play 38 league games, 13 Champions League games, 10 Copa del Rey games.
A total of 61 matches.
The schedule can be described as very intensive.
For Malaga, it is definitely necessary to divide the priorities, and the strength of their squad is certainly impossible to support them in the third line.
But Ye Luo's starting appearance really surprised many people.
In fact, Pellegrini regretted agreeing to Yelo's request not to rotate after the end of last season.
But now Ye Luo is not injured, and his physical fitness does not seem to be affected at all.
So Pellegrini has no reason to rotate Yelo either.
Miranda-on-Ebro, on the other hand, was furious.
They think that Ye Luo must be playing in this kind of game to brush up on the goal statistics!
He is now number one in the league scorer charts, but Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are also chasing closely.
It's hard to guarantee that Yelo didn't score goals in the Copa del Rey, won the Golden Boot of the Copa del Rey and helped him win the title of the total number of goals scored this season.
And so.
The Miranda upon Ebro players defended the most intensely in this game, and their only goal as a team was not even to win, but to prevent Yelo from scoring in this game.
On the Malaga side, the players on the field are all players from the reserve team, and even some of them have been in contact with Yelo in the youth team of Malaga.
Now everyone is eighteen years old.
But some people are already La Liga Golden Boot at the age of eighteen, breaking the Champions League single-season goal record, and the German superstar is worth more than 150 million.
And some are 18 years old and still waiting for a chance to play in the first team – for example, in the Copa del Rey against Spanish Liga side Miranda-sur-Ebro.
Although Ye Luo did not say that he wanted to brush the data in this kind of competition.
But I can't stand the reserve team and ask the players of the year to make up for it themselves.
This big guy has to play in this kind of game.
What else could it be for?
It must be for the goal!
So everyone in order to please the big guy.
also single-mindedly passed the ball to Ye Luo.
The players on both sides are considered to be sleeping dragons and phoenixes, and they are bright for a while.
However, Málaga, with Yelo present, was even better.
At home, Malaga scored two goals in the second half.
Yelo scored a hat-trick and also provided an assist.
Help the team win 4-0.
The second round of the fight between the two sides completely lost any meaning.
And after this game.
The other group matches of the Champions League group stage have also ended one after another.
The Europa League group stage matches are also over.
After all the Champions League group stage is over.
La Liga media is quite excited.
Because three of the four teams participating in the Champions League qualified.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Malaga all finished first in the group.
Valencia, on the other hand, finished third in the group stage, behind Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen, to play in the Europa League.
In fact, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia are not too surprised by this result.
Between Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen, it is normal for them to be squeezed into third place if they don't play well, and the strength of Chelsea in that group clearly stands out from the crowd.
And Real Madrid and Barcelona are very easy in their groups.
It was no surprise to finish first in the group.
The only surprise was Malaga.
They actually finished first in a super group of death, with an unbeaten record.
It was a big surprise for the Spanish press.
On Friday night after all the Champions League and Europa League group stages.
UEFA held a draw for the round of 16 in Zurich.
As the group leader of Group A.
Málaga's opponents will be second in the other groups, avoiding their opponents Bayern Munich and teams from the same league, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are both top of the group and are unlikely to collide with Malaga.
So Málaga's possible opponents include: CSKA Moscow, Basel, Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen, Marseille and Napoli.
There are no particularly strong super-giants.
This can very well illustrate what it means to be dependent on blessings and misfortunes.
Malaga were drawn in the group stage with a Super Group of Death.
After they finish first in the Group of Death.
Bayern Munich, the strongest of the group's second-place opponents, avoided it automatically so that they could draw from the other, less powerful group runners-up.
And at this time.
Most of the first group members were a little trembling, and they were worried about drawing the big boss in the second group.
The English press is lamenting.
"Arsenal finally won the group in Group F, but who would have thought that Bayern Munich would fall to second in the group!"
Of course, this is all a joke.
Although everyone is lamenting Arsenal's bad luck, every time it is either Bayern or Barcelona.
But now that Arsenal are top of the group, maybe the signing will change.
On the day of the draw.
None of the players in Malaga returned to their accommodation after training, and Yelo did not practice again.
Instead, they gathered with everyone at the team's training base, in the tactical conference room, and turned on the TV screen to watch the Champions League draw.
'I'm hoping to draw CSKA Moscow, and they seem to be the weakest.' ’
"Me too"
"No, no, no! Moscow is too far away, I don't want to go that far, and Basel is not bad. ”
"The rest of Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen, Marseille and Napoli don't look like it's impossible to win."
For the players in Malaga.
The opponents they may draw are not particularly strong, even Bayern Munich has played, and then look at these group runners-up, a sense of superiority arises.
But everyone basically hopes to draw CSKA Moscow or Basel.
"Ye, who do you want to draw?" Isco asked.
Everyone looked at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo grinned and said, "I don't care. ”
He spread his hands and said, "I said it, my goal is to win the championship, so. Whatever opponent you draw, beat them! ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then gave a thumbs up.
"Your mentality, awesome!"
"What is a king! This is the king! ”
"That's the championship mentality!"
"Damn, I'm going to fall in love with you."
"It's better to go transgender, I'm sure Ye might consider it."
"No, no, no, I still think it's good to be a man."
There was laughter in the meeting room.
