Chapter 1295, Midfield Master, here's another one
With a win over Atletico Madrid, Laco's Copa del Rey journey continued.
However, their opponents in the semi-finals are just as difficult - Real Madrid!
In the two-legged semi-finals, Laco will face Real Madrid twice, the team they have played the most against this season.
The first leg of the match was half a month later, on January 30, plus the 19th round of the league that had passed, Laco played Real Madrid twice in January, and the frequency was gratifying......
Before facing Real Madrid, Laco will also play the 20th and 21st rounds of the league, home and away against Malaga and Levante respectively.
Having just finished playing Atletico Madrid away on January 16 and going to Malaga on January 19, the schedule is tight and all away from home, and Laco is under great pressure.
In this case, Yunsheng had to take into account the physical condition and carry out a large area rotation.
At the back, Zhang Linpeng was rested, and two veterans, Lucio and Nesta, came off the bench.
Midfielder Domingos replaced J Ronaldo and formed a midfield line with David Beckham and Cai Huikang. Beckham performed extremely well in the last game, and Yunsheng directly arranged his starting position in this game. Pogba's form has declined to a certain extent in recent times, and Yun Sheng removed him from the starting lineup and made targeted adjustments to him.
There was also a large rotation on the front line, with Camunias and Oliveira forming a shadow-forward partnership, and Drogba still started on the front line.
Despite the continuous fighting, Drogba is still in good physical condition, and the 33-year-old veteran deserves to be called "The Monster".
The 20th round of La Liga on January 19 arrived as scheduled.
Laco was in big trouble in this game.
In the first round of the league this season, Laco swept Málaga 5-2 and won heartily. It was also since that game that Laco has not fallen to the top of the table.
In fact, when it comes to the strength of the two teams, there is not much difference, especially today's large-scale rotation of Laco, goalkeeper Navas, central defender Zhang Linpeng, back Gattuso, Wu Lei and Henry on the front line, these players are all rotated and did not appear. Coupled with the injuries of Riquelme and others, Laco's strength on paper today is actually not as good as Malaga.
But even so, Malaga still played very conservatively.
A soccer match is similar to a fight between two people, and if one person has ever beaten the other, the other person will have a lot of palpitations in the rest of his life.
That was the case in Malaga today, with a 5-2 win over their Laco at the start of the season, and they were a little bit daunted.
Although the manager cheered his players on and told them that Laco was a remnant today, the Málaga players did not think so.
Although Lacodo did not play the main team, but compared with the first half of the season, they still have Drogba and Beckham, Drogba is extremely powerful, Beckham also subdued Atletico Madrid in the last game, let's take it easy in this game......
In this mood, Malaga is not very imposing.
In the 22nd minute of the first half, it was Beckham's precise cross that Drogba jumped high in the penalty area and headed the goal!
The ball smashed into the net!
1 to 0! Laco takes the lead!
Looking at the two people who scored and assisted, the Malaga players were even more solid - these two people are very good! Today Laco is amazing!
Then they continued to retreat, and even played very conservatively when they were down by one goal, which made coach Manuel Pellegrini almost vomit blood.
However, in the first half of injury time, a careless pass from Malaga actually created a good chance!
This time it was Isco's quick push after the ball as he sprinted down the flanks and was pulled down by Castro on the edge of the box.
The referee's whistle blew and Castro was given a yellow card! And a penalty was awarded!
This is Castro's second yellow card! Two yellows turned into one red, and he was sent off!
Isco scored the penalty he had created.
1 to 1! Malaga equalised!
Crowd Pellegrini applauded excitedly on the sidelines, called several players to his side and said loudly: "Now we have equalized!" Morale is high! And Laco has one less fight! You have to press it down! We're going to win this game! ”
With the encouragement and request of the Pei Gong, the morale of Malaga has risen!
They frequently suppressed the Laco defense, and Laco was in front of the door for a while!
Yun Sheng replaced the average Camunias and replaced right-back Miranda.
In this game, Yun Sheng originally wanted him to rotate, so he let the central defender Castro make a cameo, but he didn't expect to receive an unlucky red card.
Laco has one man less, and the player has just played away from home three days ago, and the disadvantage of lack of fitness is becoming more and more obvious.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Isco shot a low flat ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and the ball was fast and tricky, straight into the corner of the goal!
Alan Subia made a save, but couldn't touch the ball......
2 to 1! Malaga scored another goal to overtake the score!
The players' fitness declined, and Yunsheng had to continue to adjust the personnel.
Warcraft Drogba was replaced, Wu Lei came off the bench, and Yun Sheng needed his speed. Now that the Malaga offensive is very fierce, and the rear air defense is not down, Wu Lei has a great chance.
In the midfield position, Yun Sheng replaced Domingos, who was yellow carded, and replaced it with Belleron.
Veteran Belleron is back from injury, making his debut in 2013!
Originally, Yunsheng didn't plan to let him come off the bench in this game, just wanted him to find his feeling in advance, but now that the team is behind by one goal, he needs some changes.
Before going on the field, Yun Sheng patted him on the shoulder: "Man, the first task I give you is to protect your body, don't fight too fiercely." I need the health of a superstar more than a win. ”
Belleron smiled slightly: "Boss, don't worry, I want both health and victory!" ”
What Belleron said is true, after he came on the field, the team's midfield attack suddenly rose to a new level!
It is Beckham, and he also admires Belleron's frequent precision and straightness!
Wu Lei and Oliveira got chances in a row!
And in the 86th minute of the game, Belleron created a great opportunity!
Beckham's crisp break was followed by a straight pass to Belleron, who cut in forward.
At the same time, Wu Lei and Oliveira were at full speed and rushed to the Malaga penalty area at high speed!
This made the Malaga defenders very nervous, staring at these two players!
But unexpectedly, Belleron was about 30 meters away from the goal, and suddenly shot from a distance!
The ball goes straight to the top right corner of the goal!
2 to 2! Belleron's first shot on goal in 2013 helped his team score the crucial goal of equalising!
Jose in the live broadcast room couldn't help but sigh: "The leader of the league, Laco's midfield veteran Riquelme used a record-breaking long-range shot to help Laco open this season's goal account, and he has also become Laco's absolute core on the field this season." But today Belleron used his performance to tell everyone that Laco's midfield master, there is one more here! ”
