Chapter 152, is it just a companion?
Drawing Chelsea is not a good sign for Malaga.
Because Chelsea have 'resolved' the conflict between their big guys and manager Villas-Boas – the result is a big win for the Chelsea team committee, led by Terry, Cech, Frank Lampard, Kerr and Drogba.
Boas leaves.
In fact.
A team must have the soul of the army, and Chelsea are fortunate to have enhanced Chelsea's cohesion in their golden age because of the presence of five big players, injecting an iron spirit and championship temperament into this team, so that the rapidly rising Premier League upstarts can maintain a high level of competition for a long time.
However, everything needs to be measured, and with the passage of time, the "Chelsea team committee" has become more and more influential in the dressing room, coupled with the frequent change of managers, it has been difficult for anyone in the Blues squad to dare to stand up and control the power of the "five standing committees".
The most typical example of the team committee overstepping its authority is Scolari's 7-month short-lived journey, British media revealed that during Scoladei's tenure, there were many contradictions within the Blues, Anelka publicly questioned the coach's ability to overcome, Drogba confessed that he was "living like a year" at Chelsea, especially in the locker room, the rights group composed of the "five standing committee members" and Ballack "made waves", Scolari, who did not understand the language, could not control it at all and had to choose to leave.
This time around, the same can be said of the conflict between Villas-Boas and the big names in the Chelsea squad.
Chelsea's Champions League quarter-final opponent is Napoli.
Outcome.
In the first round between the two sides.
The Chelsea team of five teams all sat on the bench and pressed the palace publicly.
Chelsea, on the other hand, also swallowed a 3-1 defeat at the Stadio de São Paulo
This game had to force Abu to make a choice.
Whether to choose the big five, or Boas.
In the end, of course, it was Boas who was killed.
So Boas was fired.
In the second leg, Chelsea beat Napoli 3-0 at home to reach the quarter-finals.
Therefore.
This draw is not good for Malaga.
Chelsea are difficult to play, especially with a team that is known for their defensive solidity and is particularly good at playing in the knockout rounds.
In addition, Malaga is a team that is clearly stronger in attack than in defense.
On the premise that Chelsea have resolved their own internal power struggles, the team committee five have completely dominated the Chelsea dressing room.
The fighting power of this Chelsea team is terrifying.
'It's hard for Chelsea to play, of course, I agree with that, but who is the best team to play in the last eight? Ye Luo said when facing the microphones of reporters at the gate of the training base.
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will not be played until 29 March.
Twenty days are still in the day.
During that time, Malaga has four league games to play.
They were away to Valencia in the 24th round of the league.
The 25th round of the league hosts Sevilla.
In the 26th round of the league, they played at home to Racing Santander.
In the 27th round of the league, they played at home to Granada.
Two games in a row against Sevilla and Valencia, opponents at the top of the table.
It's a big challenge for Málaga and, of course, for Barcelona and Real Madrid, it's a good opportunity to catch up with Malaga.
On March 12, Málaga's away game against Valencia and Real Madrid's away game against Atletico Madrid started almost at the same time, and before that, Barceloan won at home to Zaragoza to end this round of the league early, and Barcelona are temporarily at the top of the table with one more round.
For Malaga or Real Madrid, this game cannot be lost, or even drawn.
As the league gradually reaches the middle and late stages, the change in the points ranking at this time is likely to eventually affect the ownership of the league championship.
"Real Madrid is ahead?!"
At the Mestalla Stadium, home of the Bats, Manuel Pellegrini had just shaken hands with rival manager Unai Emery, and before his ass was hot, he heard bad news from his assistant Marosca.
'Cristiano Ronaldo scored, a corner kick in the first minute of the game. Maloska shook her head.
"What the hell"
Pellegrini shook his head.
Madrid derby!
Atletico Madrid's defense at home this season is very good, why can't it defend when it meets Real Madrid?
Valencia, on the other hand, are not easy opponents to play against, and they are also under pressure to fight for a top-four finish and, unlike Málaga, Valencia are now focused on the league.
In order to cope with this game, even after a Champions League match in the middle of last week, Pellegrini did not dare to rotate, and he sent his strongest team.
There was only one change in the starting line-up compared to last week's midweek.
It was center forward Ruud van Nistelrooy who started, and he replaced Joaquín, who was too physically exhausted.
Baptista, who can play in midfield, went back to play in midfield, and Isco continued to pull the side.
Exclude this.
Malaga is indeed an all-out player.
But just after a Champions League attrition, the players in Malaga don't seem very excited.
This left Pellegrini vaguely worried.
It turns out.
Pellegrini's fears are well founded.
In the 24th minute of the game, Valencia, who was playing at home, scored first.
Centre-forward Soldado headed in a cross from the flanks and smashed the ball into the Malaga goal, a goal that detonated the entire Mestalla stadium.
On the commentary seat, Valencia's commentator chanted Soldado's name.
Speaking of which, Soldado and Yelo also have a one-sided grudge - although Yelo never cared about that.
But now after the goal, Soldado also seemed to have a bad breath and celebrated very wildly.
On the sidelines, Manuel Pellegrini frowned.
The conceded goal put him under a lot of pressure.
The league championship is too much of a mental test.
Even Pellegrini couldn't help but curse at this time.
Until the end of the first half.
Malaga failed to find the back of the net against Valencia.
Valencia, playing at home, ended the first half with a 1-0 scoreline.
The Malaga side has no choice but to accept this reality.
And on the other side.
The score was 0-1.
Real Madrid, playing away, lead.
At halftime.
Real Madrid's assistant coach Faria told Mourinho the good news.
"They're lagging behind?!"
Jose Mourinho was excited.
Faria nodded: "Yes!" They conceded the goal! Now it's Unai Emery's team ahead! ”
Mourinho couldn't help but clench his fist.
If the match is Real Madrid wins, Malaga loses.
Then Real Madrid would be at the top of the table, with Malaga two points behind Real Madrid and one point behind Barcelona.
Regaining the top spot in the standings during the crucial period of the championship race is a great incentive for the Real Madrid players!
Second.
Yibian fights again.
Málaga, who were behind, of course, had to launch a fierce attack on Valencia's goal in the first place.
But.
What everyone didn't expect was that.
It was Valencia who scored first in the second half.
In the forty-ninth minute of the game,
Valencia had a chance to counter-attack.
Valencia No. 7 winger Jonas dribbled down the left flank and crossed, the ball was passed to the ground near the arc of the penalty area, and Valencia midfielder Albelda met the ball and pushed the ball into the corner.
"Ahh Lost the ball again!! Malaga are two goals down and they are unlucky."
'This game could be a turning point for Málaga this season, yes, with a Champions League game played in midweek, Manuel Pellegrini was still the main scorer, but the main players of Málaga who spent 90 minutes in midweek were sleepwalking in this game, they were heavy and tired, and at the Mestalla Stadium it was the price of such a performance. Malaga have to make a choice, they want both the league and the Champions League, so it's not going to be a good place to be so greedy! Malaga has not yet reached the point where it can win on both fronts! ”
"Valencia is not a soft persimmon, and both Pellegrini and Malaga will have to pay for their greed!"
The television broadcast showed close-ups of several players in Malaga.
On TV, most of the Málaga players looked a little confused, and couldn't believe that they were now two goals behind.
'The effects of the Champions League are starting to emerge and the problem is unsolvable for Malaga.
Andres, the commentator of Radio Corbe, shook his head in regret.
He was sorry for Yelo.
With Yelo's performance, it would be a shame if the four major were still empty in Malaga this season.
But
He's still quite young.
After this season.
Malaga definitely won't be able to keep Yelo.
For Ye Luo.
In his career, there will certainly be no shortage of champions.
"Two to zero! Valencia leads Malaga by two goals at home, and at the Calderón Stadium, Real Madrid is still leading 1-0 away, if it ends with this score, Malaga will be pulled down from the top of the league standings, and suddenly fall to the third place in the league, this season's championship battle is no longer a rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona, but how long can Malaga last? ”
"Malaga has conceded again!!"
Away team's dugout at Calderón Stadium.
Faria's tone was a little excited, and he excitedly told Mourinho the good news.
Mourinho smiled.
The smile wasn't just because Malaga was two goals down.
All the more so now that Real Madrid are in control.
Atletico Madrid is good at counterattacking, but Real Madrid will shrink in the backfield after scoring first, waiting for Atletico Madrid to attack, and Atletico Madrid is the least good at this, if they dare to press up, Real Madrid's counterattack is not vegetarian.
"The second half of the league is the real test of the championship!"
Mourinho said with a smile.
He was even in the mood to lift Erlang's legs.
He admits that Málaga have a strong squad and Yelo is also strong.
But the league title is not a matter of one or two games.
It's thirty-eight games!
The later in the league, the greater the pressure on the championship team and the higher the bench thickness requirements for the team.
In this regard
Málaga has no experience in competing for the title under such pressure.
And there is not enough bench thickness.
Mourinho believes.
He just needs to keep putting pressure on Malaga, and there is a high possibility that this team will collapse in the final stages, which means that the real opponent this season is Barcelona.
As for Malaga?
They're nice.
But.
The final champions won't be them!
They are just chaperones.
