Chapter 165, there are regrets, the battle of Tianwang Mountain

"Ye Luo fell to the ground and fouled!! Mascherano fouls! Unequivocal foul !! ”

Andres, the commentator of Radio Corbe, exclaimed.

"Now Barcelona is in big trouble!"

The commentators on the commentary table said one after another.

The Catalan narrator turned pale.

He actually wanted to say that Ye Luo faked a fall.

But soon the monitor in front of him showed a replay of Mascherano's foul.

After Yelo pulled the ball away, Mascherano shoveled over with his foot and shoveled Yelo to the ground firmly!

If it's not a foul.

Sooner or later, the football stadium will turn into a multiplayer online fighting ring.

The Rose Garden Course was completely fried.

The fans frantically shouted at the stadium: "Red card!! ”

The players from Malaga also rushed up.

Ye Luo slammed up from the ground and spread his arms: This is not a red card?

Mascherano tried to struggle: "He's faking a fall!" ”

"Fake Fall Nima!"

Yelo yelled at Mascherano.

However, he was quickly held down by Vanney.

At this time.

Be calm.

You can't make any extraneous branches.

As long as the referee awards a foul.

Then there must be a red card: according to the rules, a foul to destroy an obvious scoring opportunity is a red card.

Single-handedly, is it still an obvious scoring opportunity?

It's not Pellegrini, it's not just the commentators, it's not just the fans in Málaga, it's not just the players in Málaga.

Guardiola is also pale.

The good situation is very likely to be ruined!

"Mascherano fouled the tackle, he stopped Yelo's one-on-one shot, but again, he will pay a heavy price for it!"

"The referee pulled out a red card and he motioned for Mascherano to get up"

"Mascherano sat on the ground and kept signaling to the referee that Ye Luo was faking a fall, but there was no need for slow mirror replay, it was obvious that Mascherano was firmly shoveled on Ye Luo's foot, even if it was not a single goal, this foul was enough to eat a card."

Mascherano also knew that he might not be able to escape.

He rubbed on the ground for a long time before he got up.

Then the referee showed the red card and held it up to him.

"Red card! Red! Sure enough, it's a red card! Mascherano sent off with a red card! ”

'There was a big turn in the game, with Barcelona sent off with a one-goal lead away from home.

"There are still more than 60 minutes to go in the next game, and they will play more with less and 11 in this long hour!"

"Mascherano obviously wiped Pique's ass, Pique's handling was too negligent, too casual, he should have cleared the ball early, but he was waiting, but what he waited for was Yelo who touched the ball first than him, and when Yelo pushed the ball away from Pique, Mascherano actually didn't have much choice, he could only fight to the death."

Mascherano reluctantly turned around and walked out of the pitch.

Instead, the camera is focused on his centre-back partner Gerard Pique.

Obviously.

It was Mascherano who committed the foul.

But this pot is Pique's

In the stands, the fans of Malaga let out a huge cheer.

The other party is now fighting one less.

And he is also the main central defender.

Here's your chance in Málaga!

For Barcelona.

Mascherano was sent off, and it wasn't just that they had to play less and more.

Next game.

Mascherano couldn't play either.

This is quite a blow for Barcelona.

Because as Puyol gets older, he is now sitting more on the bench.

Originally, Barcelona had high hopes for their youth youngster Fontas.

But obviously.

The emergence of a super platinum generation like Habai Bumei is really just an accident.

For a super-giant.

Youth training is important.

But you can't just count on academy.

Fontas has not been able to show the energy he had in the Academy and the B team in La Liga.

So now it's more of Pique partnering in central defenders, but it's Mascherano.

Mascherano was supposed to play in the back.

However, the main force in the back of Barcelona is Sergio Busquets, and Mascheranola went back to play as a central defender, and he naturally cherished the opportunity to play.

So, from last season.

Mascherano has become more and more close to Barcelona's main centre-back.

He has gradually surpassed Puyol in the number of appearances.

But now.

The veteran Puyol, who was on the bench, was called up on the bench and came off the bench.

While Puyol was warming up on the sidelines.

Pep Guardiola frowned and pondered what to do next.

Playing one less, even a team like Barcelona is not easy to manage.

Stubborn?

It's not Barça's style.

Barcelona are not good at this either.

But the offense must not be pressed up to attack.

Then you can only pursue control.

Replacing Villa, Sanchez returned to the midfield, and Messi was alone in front.

If you have the chance, you will fight behind you.

When you don't have the chance, you try to control the ball as much as possible.

The more possession you have.

The fewer chances Malaga will have.

Keeping the ball at your feet is the best defensive strategy.

If they can take away a 1-0 scoreline away from home, it will be a good result for Barcelona who have played one man less.

Even if it's equalized, 1-1, or even overtaken, 2-1, that's acceptable.

In fact, Mascherano's foul was quite timely.

Because if he slows down a little bit, Ye Luo will be in the forbidden area!

In that sense, Mascherano's foul wasn't entirely worthless – at least he didn't give Malaga a penalty.

The ball was close to the penalty area though.

But it's not a great location.

First of all, the position is about five meters to the left of the arc of the penalty area, although the position is not particularly biased, but compared to the angle facing the goal, the angle of the shot is much smaller.

The second is that the foul position is almost close to the sideline.

Being too close to the goal is not conducive to power.

With a little effort, the football flew up to the second floor stands.

If you don't exert your strength, Valdés is not an amateur goalkeeper, how can you break through his defense if the ball is not fast enough?

Kick the elevator ball and there isn't much room to fall.

The curve ball is very difficult to go around the human wall and fall down.

Isco and Yelo stand in front of the ball.

On Barcelona's side, in addition to setting up the human wall, there are also those who are ready to rush out at any time to prevent Malaga from playing free kicks.

The defense can be said to be quite tight.

Yelo stood in front of the ball and saw Barcelona's not-so-tall human wall.

There are a lot of small people in the Barcelona team.

There aren't many tall people.

Even if Pique is tall, there is Butskec standing next to him, and there are Abidal and Alves.

A wall of four players, with Sergio Busquets and Gerard Pique in the middle, flanked by two full-backs who were less than 1.8m.

It looks like the angles to the left and right of the kicking wall are opportunities.

However, it was not a random arrangement for Barcelona to let Abidal and Alves be the human wall.

People are also prepared.

Because both players have good bounces – full-backs, and they are very fast.

So, when they jump, it's not easy to get around them.

The wall blocked the near corner, while goalkeeper Valdés leaned slightly into the far corner.

"Do you want to make a match?"

Isco asked, covering his mouth.

Ye Luo looked at the forbidden area of Barcelona, which was like a big enemy, and responded: "No, you can help me make a fake run later." ”

"Good!"

The two discussed with their mouths covered to avoid being seen by the other - who knows if the Barcelona players will lip talk or something.

There is no body language either.

After the discussion is completed.

The two stepped back.

Ye Luo looked at the referee.

After the referee blows the whistle.

Isco was the first to run.

And then there was Yelo.

The moment Ye Luo kicked the ball out.

Barcelona's human wall is also jumping upwards at the same time.

But Peake and the others only found out after they jumped up.

The ball didn't fly above their heads!

but

Stick to the ground!

The soccer ball clings to the turf towards the goal.

In the blink of an eye, it came from under their feet!

No one expected that Ye Luo would handle this free kick like this.

Valdés didn't expect it either.

His habitual thinking keeps him focused on the wall above his head.

When he saw the football coming out from under the foot of the wall, it was too late

Yelo's shot was very fast.

The speed of this ball is probably more than 120 kilometers per hour.

So fast.

A distance of more than ten meters is a matter of a blink of an eye.

Valdés couldn't react and watched as the ball clung to the turf and plunged headlong into the goal.

"Yelo and Isco are standing in front of the ball, it seems that Yelo is coming to kick the ball, Isco fakes to run, Yelo shoots! The ball went in!! ”

The narrator was briefly stunned.

Then he reacted.

Ye Luo!! Whoop! Pretty! He played boccia and fooled everyone! ”

"Malaga equalised! Ye Luo! Ye Luo! Incredible! It's incredible! His twenty-third goal in the Champions League!! He continues to extend his advantage in the scorer charts! He continues to extend his Champions League single-season scoring record!! ”

"Oh God! Twenty-three balls! Can you imagine? Can you imagine! He almost doubled that record! ”

Yelo continued to drag Malaga forward! Malaga equalised! I am now more and more convinced that the 2011-2012 season of European football will be an earth-shattering event! A king-like player, with a small team, to win the final Champions League! Don't think it's weird, take a look, look at Ye Luo's form, look at his performance!! Malaga equalized and at the same time... They also beat one more person! They have a chance, a chance to kill the suspense of the match in the first round!! ”

In the exclamation of the narrator.

On the field, Ye Luo, who stood in place with open arms to celebrate the goal, became the only protagonist.

Twenty-three Champions League goals.

Who else?

"Ye Luo! It's still Yelo!! Direct free-kick to score! After being fouled and ruining his single knife, Ye Luo immediately announced with a direct free kick: the variety of his offensive weapons is unparalleled!! ”

Duan Xuan shouted excitedly.

"He continues to expand his record!! Oh my God, twenty-three goals, before this season, would you dare to imagine a player scoring twenty-three Champions League goals in a single season? ”

"Moreover, the Champions League is not over yet!!"

Yelo's goal was constantly replayed on the TV screen.

Actually, everyone knows that.

The human wall jumps up and can kick down three ways.

But this is easier said than done

First of all, the ball must be fast and at the same time, it is necessary to be able to hold the ball.

This in itself is more difficult.

Secondly, the timing should be accurate.

Because when you shoot, the wall may not have jumped yet, or it may be in a state where it has just risen or fallen, and that gap is not enough for the football to pass through.

However, Ye Luo hit a ball that was extremely fast and well-timed.

Caught Barcelona off guard.

While Yelo was handling this ball.

Pep Guardiola is still explaining some tactical arrangements with Puyol.

When Yelo slammed the ball into the net with one kick.

Guardiola couldn't help but pat his head in frustration.

"Damn it!"

It's good now.

The score was equalised.

Barcelona has a lower tolerance for error.

But this person still has to be changed.

One less centre-back is not something else to fill in.

So Puyol quickly stood on the sidelines.

He's going to come on as a substitute for Villa.

Villa came off grinding and looked a little reluctant, but in fact he was grinding for time.

For Barcelona.

They wish the game was over now.

With a one-to-one scoreline, they also have a certain advantage back at Camp Nou.

Under the boos of the Rose Garden Stadium.

Barcelona made the substitution.

In the next game.

Barcelona, which has one less person, did not go back to put the bus.

Instead, he entangled with Malaga in the midfield, controlled the ball as much as possible when he had the ball, attracted Málaga's players to come up and press, and then hit the ball behind, allowing Messi and Sanchez to harass Malaga's defense.

The two sides can be regarded as attacking and defending each other.

Barcelona managed to hold the draw until the end of the first half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Barcelona can continue to entangle with Malaga in the beginning.

But as the game went on, the physical energy of both sides was depleted.

Barcelona's disadvantage of playing one less is starting to show.

One less player means more runs and more physical exertion for other players.

Barcelona, who played one man less, lost control and the game began to be more controlled by Malaga.

Málaga deliberately speeds up the tempo, and the attack and defense carried out at a high tempo consumes more energy.

So.

It was even more intense against Barcelona, who played one man less.

Pep Guardiola certainly knows what Pellegrini is thinking: this is to use fast-paced attacks and defences, play fast pace and speed, and drag down Barcelona's fitness, and once Barcelona's fitness collapses, then the final moments of the game will be harvested.

Guardiola has also been prepared for this.

He waved his hand.

Barcelona's players no longer press past half of the pitch to press.

Instead, he shrank into his own half and continued to entangle with Malaga.

The range of running is not as large, and the physical exertion is not as intense.

For Barcelona.

With a 1-1 scoreline, they wouldn't be too happy if they hadn't been sent off.

But now they are fighting one less.

If you can maintain this score until the end.

That's a big deal for Barcelona.

So it's normal for Barcelona to tend to be conservative in their thinking.

Málaga will not be satisfied with a 1-1 draw.

It would be a pity if Barcelona were forced to draw with one more player, and it would be a major blow to the team's morale.

They stepped up their attack-for-tat.

With the Barcelona players gradually experiencing a fitness crisis.

Especially the frontcourt player Alexis Sanchez, this game can be regarded as exhausting him.

He was constantly running in midfield, sometimes sprinting back and forth.

Because Barcelona can't let Messi do these things, Messi has to keep his physical energy and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, so Sanchez has to run more.

The Chilean striker was tired and stuck out his tongue and gasped.

In the seventy-third minute of the game.

He was replaced by Barcelona Academy midfielder Thiago Alcantara.

Thiago is an all-round midfielder who can attack and defend.

So this substitution marks that Barcelona are going to hold on to this draw!

Málaga, on the other hand, replaced the veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Replaced with Baptista.

Continue to attack Barcelona's backline.

Barcelona, who shrunk defensively, showed their defensive prowess.

It's not like these top players can't defend, after all, football is essentially a game of how to use space.

How do you rate a player's ball quotient?

The first criterion is actually the same as real estate.

Location, location, location!

Barcelona's players are in a reasonable position, which determines that they are not bad even when they are shrinking their defense.

And with Cesc Fabregas coming on in the 83rd minute of the game, Messi was replaced.

Barcelona completely shrunk back to defend and didn't even want to counterattack.

Manuel Pellegrini thought Barcelona would have done it sooner.

But I didn't expect that.

They didn't do that until the 83rd minute of the game – it's a really good team to train indeed.

If it ends with this score.

Then Barcelona must have left the Rose Garden with a smile.

It was the final moment of the game.

Málaga, for their part, also offered the same tactics that all teams that need to score in the final moments will use: long balls and crosses, wide crosses.

Hit the ball in the air!!

By this time.

You can only pass the ball into the opponent's penalty area as much as possible.

Attacking quantity for quality.

It turns out.

The desperate use of high-altitude balls at the last moment is still very testable.

Eighty-eighth minute of the game.

Tulalang hoisted the ball into the box, where Yelo jumped high and headed the ball to the left side of the box.

Joaquin, who came up in front, pushed the ball!

The ball hit Thiago's thigh and refracted it.

This refraction made Valdés, who had already made a save, only look at the ball and sigh.

With this goal, Malaga narrowly beat Barcelona 2-1 at home.

At the end of the whistle at the end of the game.

Everyone could see that Manuel Pellegrini walked into the tunnel with a black face.

The players in Malaga are not too good-looking.

They hurried off the pitch.

The opponent fights with one less man and fights at home.

But it only relied on a lucky refraction in the 88th minute to overtake the score.

Two to one.

Although it was won.

But it really doesn't make the players and coaches of Malaga happy.

But they forgot that their opponent was Barcelona! What kind of team is Malaga, winning against Barcelona, and still being so unhappy

Pep Guardiola, of course, is not happy.

Anyway.

To lose is to lose.

And Mascherano is suspended for the next game.

He can only hope that Puyol can fight for some gas and try not to get injured - as he gets older, injuries are commonplace for Puyol.

In a word.

Both sides were not too happy with the results.

And so it goes.

A week later, the second leg between the two sides became particularly important.

It's like a final!

The media all over the world, as long as they follow these two teams head-to-head, will consider this game at Camp Nou to be the key in the key.

Barcelona has the advantage of being at home, but looking at this score and looking at Yelo's state, you will know that the suspense of who will die in this game is still very, very big.

Yelo scored a hat-trick at the Allianz Stadium and had a senior at the San Siro.

It's no surprise to score a few goals at Camp Nou.

It's clear to everybody.

Málaga has been able to get to where it is all due to Yelo's play.

Yelo's state is a barometer of Malaga's strength.

Ye Luo is in good shape.

Malaga is invincible.

Yelo's state has fluctuated, and Malaga's strength has also fallen to the level of an ordinary La Liga powerhouse, which cannot be compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona at all.

So.

As long as Ye Luo's state is not a problem.

No one dares to say that Barcelona can beat Malaga on their home turf.

The talk of the match between Malaga and Barcelona began to diminish a day later.

Because of this day.

Another big game is about to be staged.

Real Madrid will host Bayern Munich.

In terms of influence.

Both teams are very big.

Although in the Dragon Country, everyone pays attention to Malaga and pays attention to Yelo.

But to talk about influence and attention in the world.

Real Madrid's home game against Bayern Munich will be more closely watched than the Malaga and Barcelona games.

The Galactic Battleship takes on the Bundesliga giants.

A showdown between the superpowers.

The vast majority of neutral fans will be concerned.

Even Yelo will be following this game.

So before the game, he turned on the TV and sat on the couch to watch the game - after all, it was a question of who the opponent was in the final.

outcome

The match was exactly the same as Malaga's home game against Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid lead Bayern 2-1 at home.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice.

Thomas. Muller helped Bayern pull one back.

Robben dropped a single knife.

Real Madrid centre-back Pepe was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards.

There were also many images in the stadium that deserved to be discussed by the media.

And after this game

The team is about to face another big game.

Málaga, home to Real Madrid!!

And just two days before the game.

The day after the Champions League match.

The media in Madrid suddenly broke the bombshell news.

The newspaper reported on the front page: "According to information from within Real Madrid, Malaga player Isco will move to Real Madrid at the end of the season for a transfer fee of up to 50 million euros, including a fixed transfer fee of 40 million euros and a variable fee of 10 million euros."

Málaga is likely to be banned from Europe next season, with many of its players looking to leave, and the transfer talks between Real Madrid and Malaga over Isco actually began in the winter window.

After the report of the [As] newspaper.

[Marca], [Madrid News] and other media began to follow suit.

In fact, about Isco's transfer to Real Madrid, the media broke the news in the winter window.

Many fans know that it is not surprising that players such as Isco and Yelo left Malaga after the end of the season.

And the Madrid media chose this kind of news at this time.

The purpose is, of course, to establish a greater advantage for Real Madrid in this Tianwang Mountain Station!

Really.

Training base in Malaga.

Many fans from Malaga gathered at the entrance of the base and held banners to keep Isco.

There were also reporters squatting at the door of the players and coaches of Malaga.

Before the Battle of Mt. Tenno.

Inevitably, these news have affected Málaga's preparations.

In response, Pellegrini was silent on the news.

Start a closed session.

As for Isco's move to Real Madrid.

Isco also explained to his team-mates in the dressing room.

His agent was indeed talking to Real Madrid about a transfer.

But it's still far from a clear quote or something.

So, this is a public opinion war of the media on the Madrid side.

its purpose.

It was here to disrupt Málaga's preparations for war.

It's part of the title race – the game, not just in those 90 minutes.

Even Mourinho unleashed his skill before the game: Master of the War of Words.

He openly criticized the La Liga schedule: "We just played a game against Bayern Munich, we have one day less preparation time than Malaga, and then we have to rush to Malaga non-stop, we have two days to rest, the team has no rest at all, very tired, and Malaga is a day earlier than us, they are also playing at their own home stadium I don't understand how such a bad schedule came out, why can't this game be postponed by a day? Can't the league be flexible with its schedule and adjust it for special circumstances? ”

Frankly.

Mourinho's complaints are justified.

Because their match with Bayern Munich was a day later than the match between Malaga and Barcelona.

At the same time, they are also playing away from home in this game.

Therefore, in terms of schedule, Real Madrid has suffered a little.

But it doesn't have much to do with Málaga because the schedule is set before the league starts.

Who would have thought that Málaga would reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, and who would have thought that this game would be a battle for the top spot in the league?

Manuel Pellegrini responded: "Tight schedule? We only had two days off in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, so why didn't Jose Mourinho give us a draw? Oh yes, Real Madrid was playing on Sunday and they had an extra day and a half off than we did. ”

It's not just coaches on both sides.

The players are also competing.

Real Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos said in an interview that Real Madrid has an advantage: "We are two points ahead, we have a psychological advantage, and we won this game if we draw. ”

For Ramos's remarks.

Ye Luo responded like this.

He asked the reporter with a surprised face: "A draw is a victory?" Did you know that in our dragon kingdom, this phrase symbolizes a curse. ”

"Cursed?"

Journalists in Spain looked at each other.

The reporters of the Dragon Kingdom were holding back laughter.

"Yes, curse, generally say that a draw will qualify, and a draw is the time to win. Most of the game is to lose! ”

Journalists in Spain were confused.

The Dragon Country reporters laughed.

In the history of Dragon Country football.

There are too many "tie XXX", and then it backfires.

Therefore, "if you draw and qualify", it is a big curse of Dragon Country football.

There are also media outlets in Madrid who are asking about Isco.

Yelo, who is the captain, answered the question head-on: "It's his freedom where Isco is going, and it's next season. We are all professional footballers and we must give our all on the pitch, so if you think Isco is going to move to Real Madrid, he will be merciful on the pitch, then you are very wrong, you are questioning the professionalism of the players! ”

Madrid reporters also know that it is a bit difficult to make a team fluctuate based on transfer rumors.

Unless.

It was Yelo who was rumored to be transferred.

So a reporter asked: "Will you transfer to Real Madrid one day?" ”

Ye Luo smiled when he heard this: "Is it appropriate for you to ask this question before the game?" You're a journalist from Madrid, right? ”

"Well, I'm a reporter for [The Madrid News]."

"Well, what do you want me to say? I have two answers, one is that I have no comment, we have a saying in the Dragon Kingdom called making a fortune in a muffled voice, and it is best not to say anything. If you have to ask, then I will give you a clear answer, I will not transfer to Real Madrid, not now, not in the future, which answer do you prefer? ”

Ye Luo rebelled against the army.

Let the Madrid journalist be speechless.

If he continues to press.

Wouldn't that completely make it impossible between Yelo and Real Madrid?

When I saw each other, I didn't say anything.

Ye Luo turned around and walked into the training base.

The reporters of the Dragon Kingdom couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's really a general."

"He's getting more mature!"

"I'm looking forward to this game more and more"

Journalists discussed.

Match day.

The Rose Garden Course was packed.

This match will be a major test for both Malaga and Real Madrid.

This is because they have just experienced the attrition of a Champions League semi-final and three days after this game, both teams will be on their way to the second leg of the semi-final.

Even the situation facing both teams in the Champions League is the same: they won the first leg, but not by much.

So.

Face this game.

The two teams made different choices.

Malaga, the main net out.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, has made a certain amount of rotation.

The different selections of the two teams are also based on the basic situation of the two teams.

Málaga, on the other hand, did not dare to rotate: if they sent most of the substitutes to play, it would basically be tantamount to surrendering and admitting defeat.

But it's the final!

The battle of Tianwang Mountain, which is related to the league championship!

If they lose to Real Madrid at home, the points will be stretched to five points, plus Real Madrid will basically not have any strong teams in the next fixtures.

If Malaga wants to win the title, they can only count on Real Madrid to capsize in the gutter themselves.

It is impossible for them to pin their fate on Real Madrid when they can still try to grasp it themselves.

So in this game, even if the time is tight and the task is heavy, you have to grit your teeth and resist it.

And what about Real Madrid.

They have the capital to rotate at all.

Up front, Gonzalo Higuain and Callejon started in place of Karim Benzema and Angel Di Maria.

Midfielder.

Shaheen started in place of the evil beggar.

Defender line.

Coentrão and Raphael Varane replaced Marcelo and Pepe.

Compared to the start of the previous game against Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid made a full rotation of five players.

But even so.

The quality of the players who have been rotated is also top-notch, top-notch.

That's the difference between Real Madrid and Malaga.
