Chapter 162: If we eliminate Barcelona?
Locker room.
Everyone looked at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you looking at me?" ”
Seeing the puzzled look on everyone's faces, Ye Luo had no choice but to spread his hands and said: "I don't want conspiracy theories, but in the eyes of the outside world, we may be the weakest team in the top four, and Barcelona is the strongest team, so... If Platini doesn't want us to qualify for the final, who can we draw? ”
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and everyone knew this, but Yelo also revealed the fact that UEFA, or Platini, did not want to see Malaga advance.
Memories of the game against Lyon come to mind.
Seeing that the mood of the crowd was not very high, Ye Luo had to say: "Barcelona is really difficult to play, but don't forget, we have played Barcelona twice before, and they were at their home stadium, and our results are one win and one draw. ”
'But it's the Champions League,' said one player.
The Champions League and the league are different, everyone knows that.
"Platini isn't going to do anything in this game, is he?"
"Should.. No way? This is the semi-final. ”
'Maybe he thinks Barcelona can knock us out with hard power, but not necessarily.' Ye Luo made a joke.
The players in Malaga quickly put the semi-final draw to Barcelona behind them.
Because even if it's not Barcelona, it's Real Madrid or Bayern.
Actually, it's all pretty much the same.
The opponents are all super giants.
The strength is evenly matched.
No matter who you meet, it will be very difficult for Malaga to reach the final!
Therefore, this draw is not too high for Malaga.
But Real Madrid and Bayern fans are already lamenting.
How did a good gift package be taken away by Barcelona?
"Don't be greedy, you think you have a godfather?"
"What's the use of a godfather, wasn't the last time I had a father-in-law also eliminated?"
Fans of both teams complained a little unwillingly.
On the Dragon Country's network, fans are also worried about the fate of Malaga.
After all
Barcelona were the defending champions last season.
[Nanguo Sports Daily] analyzed the results of the draw: "For Malaga, there is no luck in the draw to enter the semi-finals, they have to face one of the three giants of Real Saren, but drawing Barcelona is one of the more difficult opponents, Barcelona's strength is here, but Malaga is not without advantages, first of all, they have not lost against Barcelona in the last two games, which may bring a little psychological advantage to Malaga, in addition to the Champions League reform." There is no team that has successfully defended the title, which is a bit of a metaphysics, but it seems to be in Málaga's favor at this point."
Dragons fans have a lot of confidence in Malaga.
"I'm afraid of hair, I've done Barcelona in the league."
'It's true that you've played against all three opponents and it's a lot better than an encounter like Chelsea.'
"Just do it."
This optimism stems from the fans' blind trust and support for Yelo.
But in such a public opinion environment.
There are also not very harmonious sounds.
"No, no, no one really thinks that Malaga can pass Barcelona, right? No one really thinks that the league and the Champions League can be watched on the same footing, right? No one really thinks that winning Barcelona in the league can win Barcelona in the Champions League, right? Real Sociedad also often play Real Madrid in the league, you let them try to win the Champions League? Blind optimism is just arrogance. - Ma Yanxin wrote such a scarf on his scarf.
Soon, it was screenshotted by many fans and transferred to many forums.
The contradictions between Ma Yanxin and Ye Luo, or the Dragon Football Federation and Ye Luo, are well known.
At this time, Ma Yanxin suddenly brushed a sense of existence, which was very dazzling among the almost one-sided Dragon Kingdom fans who supported Malaga.
"Dog prostitute, isn't it enough to slap your face?"
"Why did this product come out again to brush up on its sense of existence?"
"Are you a Barcelona member?"
"Cao Nyima."
Fans have made a wave of output under this Weibo.
But Ma Yanxin is not surprised by this.
The mentality is very stable.
And he is not without supporters.
Many "Ye Hei" huddled together under his scarf to keep warm.
"What kind of team do these players think Barcelona is, and they still eliminate Barcelona? After knocking out Lyon and Chelsea in the knockout round, you don't know what kind of goods you are? ”
Under this scarf, an account certified as a "well-known media person" commented.
This comment was replied to by quite a few people.
Of course, most of them are exporting some national quintessence.
Ma Yanxin also replied: "If Malaga knocks Barcelona out, I will eat live broadcast!" ”
Suddenly, under the agitation of Ma Yanxin and others.
Public opinion has also become muddy.
In fact, because there are too many fans in the Dragon Kingdom, even if most of them support Ye Luo, as long as a small percentage of them are "Ye Hei", it is quite a huge number.
Add to that the fact that the Internet naturally amplifies the impact of extreme speech.
Therefore, under the agitation of Ma Yanxin and others, it is not too strange to muddy the waters of public opinion.
However, some of these 'Ye Hei' remarks in the Dragon Kingdom are just lip service.
It does not affect Yelo, who is far away in Spain.
After the draw is over.
The media in Catalonia were cheering Barcelona for winning the package.
In the thirtieth round of the league, Malaga at the pre-match press conference of the match against Zaragoza at home.
A Catalan journalist stood up and asked: "Mr. Pellegrini, what do you think about the Champions League semi-final Malaga drawing from Barcelona?" ”
"I don't answer questions that aren't relevant to this game."
Pellegrini said.
Barça's mouthpiece media such as Le Monde Sport and Daily Sport also think Barcelona have drawn a good signing.
"Barcelona have a chance to become the first team to defend the Champions League since the restructuring!"
"Semi-final against Malaga? I really can't see a reason why Barcelona would lose. ”
'It's not easy for Malaga to get all the way to the last four of the Champions League this season, but I think that's the end of their Champions League schedule!
The media on the Catalan side is optimistic.
On the contrary, Barcelona's players, as well as manager Pep Guardiola, are very low-key.
Of course, they knew that Ye Luo had the strength to threaten their defense.
The two-legged knockout round has not yet reached the point where one team must win.
And.
Whether it's Malaga or Barcelona, or Real Madrid.
They have to get their energy back into the league.
There is still a month to go until the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Duration.
Malaga play three league games.
The opponents are Zaragoza, Getafe and Levante.
Barcelona and Real Madrid both play four games, three league games and one Copa del Rey semi-final.
The 32nd round of the league is the second leg of the league between Barcelona and Real Madrid in this season's league.
The Copa del Rey semi-final was also the second leg of the meeting between the two teams, with the first leg at Camp Nou in a 0-0 draw.
For Malaga.
The three league games leading up to the Champions League semi-finals are a great opportunity for them to cement their lead in the table.
However, in the thirtieth round of the league away to Zaragoza, Málaga were beaten 3-2 by their opponents - in this game Málaga rotated heavily and in the end Yelo's two goals could not save the team.
Malaga suffered their second defeat of the season.
Yelo has increased his tally of goals in the league to 36.
Meanwhile.
This round of the league.
Real Madrid and Barcelona each beat their opponents.
Málaga's points slipped to third all of a sudden.
But it's not yet time for the league to be clear.
And on the scorer list.
At home against Racing Santander.
Barcelona defeated the opponent 5-0, and at the same time, Messi broke out in this game and staged a big four!
In the scorer list, Messi tied Yelo!
Both scored 36 goals.
After this round of the league.
In Spain, many people are starting to have pessimistic predictions about the outcome of the season in Malaga.
"Malaga didn't make it to the end!"
"The next fixtures are too difficult for Malaga, who will not only face Barcelona twice in the last four of the Champions League, but also Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 33rd and 37th rounds of the league. If it was at the beginning of the season, people might still have something to look forward to in Málaga, but at the end of the season. Will Malaga really be able to make it out in the final difficult schedule? ”
Under the doubts of the media and public opinion.
Malaga continues the away fixtures.
They are going to play Getafe away from home.
The game went well in Málaga, scoring one goal in each half to take a 2-0 lead, both goals were scored by Yelo, who raised his goal tally to 38!
By the end of the season, Yelo's goalscoring form had also arrived.
However, the bad thing is...
In this game, Cazorla was injured in a tackle
The midfielder was out injured, and as soon as the game was over, the players got the news that Cazorla was out for at least three weeks and was bound to miss the first leg against Barcelona.
And in this round of the league.
Messi also scored a brace.
The competition for the standings and the Golden Boot is also very fierce.
April 15th.
In the 32nd round of the league, Malaga faced Levante at home.
Four days after the game, the team will face the semi-finals against Barcelona at home.
There was a certain amount of rotation in the team in this game.
But Ye Luo played well.
He seemed to be stimulated by Messi's performance.
A hat-trick at home helped Málaga defeat Levante 4-2.
Meanwhile.
Barcelona lost 2-1 away to Real Madrid!
So.
Malaga has won 32 games, won 27, drawn 3 and lost 2, accumulating 84 points and ranking second in the league.
Real Madrid has 28 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 86 points and ranking first in the league.
Barcelona has 27 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses with 83 points, ranking third in the league.
The troika, almost in unison.
And then for Malaga.
The real test is coming.
On April 19, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals hosted Barcelona.
On April 22, in the 33rd round of the league, he faced Real Madrid at home.
On April 25, the second leg of the Champions League semifinals, away to Barcelona challenged!
For Malaga, these three games may be able to determine their fate this season, if they lose to Barcelona, the Champions League is out, if they lose to Real Madrid, and are separated by Real Madrid by five points, then Malaga has almost no chance of winning the championship! These three races are the ultimate test for Malaga! If they get past it, then Málaga may be able to win at least one title this season! It's time for the players of Malaga to be put to the real test! ”
This is the general view of the media.
The next three games.
Decide the fate of the Malaga season.
Malaga are also in full swing preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
This match will be difficult for Malaga.
Cazorla is injured and Ruud van Nistelrooy is also expected to be unavailable.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has Baptista to replace, and Cazorla's absence has really put Malaga's midfield in jeopardy.
Isco, of course, could be pulled back into midfield to play Cazorla's position, but Isco is young after all, and his experience and ability are still a little behind the mature Cazorla.
During this time, Malaga has made a number of compromises to solve the problem of Cazorla's absence.
Manuel Pellegrini made changes to his team's formation.
He decided to let Yelo play in the No. 10 position - Yelo's position is very lively, so he can play any position.
Up front was Baptista, and on either side of Yelo, Isco and Joaquin went to play as a double attacker.
And behind him.
It's Tulalang partnering with Juanito, playing double midfielders!
Malaga has been focusing on the 4231 system during this time.
The team also remembered the closed training, and the media could only take pictures of the players in Malaga warming up for half an hour every day.
The time was in anticipation, and it was finally the day before the game.
The Barcelona players arrived in Malaga a day early.
The focal point of everything.
They all gathered in Malaga and focused on the Rose Garden Stadium.
Right now.
in France.
A bombshell news disrupted and left everyone stunned.
According to information received from within UEFA, the financial review of Malaga by the UEFA side has ended! A decision will be made soon on the penalties for Malaga, including fines and bans, the amount of which is currently unknown, but Malaga's chances are that they will not be able to participate in next season's Champions League."
Report on [French football].
Like a boulder, it was thrown into the calm lake, and it suddenly set off an uproar!
Before the Champions League semi-finals of Malaga and Barcelona.
UEFA actually released such a rumor!
Soon.
Almost all the media began to follow suit.
"Malaga will not pass the financial balance review and will be banned from European competition next season!"
The president of La Liga declined to comment on the matter.
The Spanish Football Federation did not respond to this news.
The timing of this news breaking out was too bad for Malaga, and they were inevitably distracted before the big war."
I don't say it's Platini's revenge on Malaga, on Yelo, but that's what it is!"
All of a sudden.
The news that Malaga will be banned from European competition next season.
It overshadowed all the news about the Champions League semi-finals in an instant.
It has become the hottest news at the moment!!
When the players from Malaga returned to the dressing room after training.
Some players saw the news on their mobile phones and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Platini! Yours is it! ”
"At such a point in time, such news broke out! Oh, our dear UEFA president, Mr. Platini, is really holding a grudge. ”
"UEFA!!"
The players in Malaga were furious.
Such news will inevitably distract them and make them unsettled.
Right now.
Ye Luo suddenly laughed.
"Everyone, everyone"
He clapped his palms, the corners of his mouth raised.
"What does Platini mean by making this kind of thing at this time? It shows that this guy is quite recognized by our strength. We were given an opponent like Barcelona, and then we stepped on the match point to arrange this kind of news to break out."
"So."
Yelo's gaze swept over each of the Málaga players.
"So, if we knock out Barcelona."
"The expression on Platini's face must be quite exciting."
