Chapter 7, top ten geniuses in history
Score the first goal of the match?
It seems to be a goal for the Malaga youth team.
Ye Luo thought to himself.
So who will Malaga U18's opponent be in the next game?
Malaga U18 participates in the Spanish Youth League (Juvenil A).
This is the highest level of the Spanish Youth League.
There are seven groups in total, with sixteen teams participating in each group.
The group stage adopts a home and away knockout system. The group champion can participate in the "playoffs", which is the Spanish Youth Champions League. The winner will win the Youth League championship of that season.
He opened the official website of Malaga Club to check the Malaga U18 schedule.
Málaga's youth academy U-series teams start from the age of 9 and go up to U21.
However, generally U21 players basically have to train and play with the reserve team and no longer participate in youth leagues. Moreover, if players over the age of 20 want to take the path of professional players, they must seek to compete in professional leagues at this time. .
Those who can't play in La Liga can still go to lower-level leagues to find opportunities.
The league system of any football powerhouse will be very large.
There is a smooth path from the top leagues to the grassroots regional leagues.
Many La Liga players actually had experience in lower-level leagues, and then were discovered by La Liga teams before finally appearing in the top league.
"U18...U18..."
Ye Luo frowned and looked at the Spanish text on the screen.
He can speak some Spanish.
But compared to that, literacy will be more difficult.
However, Spanish is an alphabetic language under the Latin family. If you know the basic spelling rules, being able to speak it means being able to read it.
Therefore, Yeluo quickly found the U18 schedule.
The next game, the first match of the Malaca Cup group stage, the opponent...
Ye Luo's eyes suddenly widened, and then he suddenly reacted and slapped his forehead hard.
"My memory is such that I have forgotten this... Málaga youth team, isn't it the opponent of the Olympic team in the next game! Malaga Cup... The domestic media promotes it every day!"
Ye Luo couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this.
The Mallorca Cup is not even a youth tournament that attracts attention in Europe. It is not even as famous as the WF Cup held in China.
But during this period, the domestic media have been promoting this event because of the participation in the National Olympics.
Moreover, the Mallorca Cup is a youth team invitational tournament. Basically, the clubs invited to participate send their own U18 teams to participate.
That is to say, they are all players under the age of 18.
And even if the age change is not included in the Dragon Kingdom National Olympics, he is already 20/21 years old.
At least two years older.
In professional football, around the age of 20 is a critical period for entering the professional league.
At this age, even a year difference is a big difference.
The average age of the Dragon Country Olympic players is apparently two years older, but in fact it may be three or four years old.
Therefore, it is actually very advantageous to participate in a youth invitational cup like this.
It is expected to achieve a good result.
That's why the domestic media are promoting it so hard, because everyone has already expected that the Olympic team will have the opportunity to score some big wins in the Mallorca Cup.
but...
Ye Luo narrowed his eyes.
His reputation is now basically stinky in domestic football circles.
He contradicted the head coach, disobeyed management, was unorganized and undisciplined, had no sense of national honor, and so on. The labels were all slapped on his head.
Originally, Ye Luo thought it would take a long time to wash off these hats.
did not expect...
The opportunity is coming!
It would be nice if I could get a media interview after the game...
Ye Luo closed the web page.
"sleep!"
Get good sleep and maintain excellent physical condition.
As an athlete, these are all part of self-discipline.
.......
And at this time.
In the first team's training base and the team's office building.
Head coach Pellegrini's office is still brightly lit.
It was a difficult time in Malaga.
Former head coach Ferreira was fired after nine rounds of La Liga.
The reason for being fired is of course directly related to performance.
In nine rounds of the league, Malaga only won one victory, drew two and lost six games!
Malaga, which has only scored five points, is only nine games ahead of the La Liga standings and has yet to win. Zaragoza, which has four points from four draws, has one point and is ranked 19th in the league standings. name.
After being sacked at Malaga.
Former Real Madrid coach Pellegrini took over the team.
Generally speaking, changing coaches means changing jobs.
Teams usually have a small rebound after a coaching change.
But Malaga's situation is still in bad shape after Pellegrini took over.
In the tenth round of the league, they lost to Espanyol 1-0 away from home.
In the eleventh round of the league, they were tied 1-1 at home by Levante.
In the twelfth round of the league, they lost cleanly to Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 away from home.
In the thirteenth round of the league, they lost to Mallorca 2-0 away from home.
Pellegrini has only scored one point in four games since taking over.
The local media in Malaga was in a state of panic.
And what's even worse is...
Next round of league.
In the fourteenth round of the league, the team will challenge Real Madrid away from home!
Of course.
With Malaga's strength, generally speaking, they would not dream of scoring points at the Bernabeu.
However, this game may not be as simple as not being able to score points.
But....
Malaga faced a wounded beast.
In the thirteenth round of the league, Real Madrid was slaughtered by Barcelona 0-5 at Camp Nou on the road!
Mourinho's team suffered an unprecedented defeat.
They urgently need a big win to restore the team's confidence and to explain to the fans and the Madrid media.
That's the case.
Pellegrini's team is very likely to become Real Madrid's punching bag.
There is no doubt about the strength of Real Madrid. They are the team with the highest total value in the world.
Malaga in front of Real Madrid is like Gloria standing in front of a giant.
It's very possible to be trampled to death.
If we suffer another big defeat at the Bernabeu.
Then the team's confidence may plummet.
It's reached a point of no return...
So Pellegrini and his coaching team are working hard to lead Malaga out of the Bernabeu.
However, blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
The team's important attackers, Uruguayan forward Bastian Fernandez and local winger Luque, are both likely to miss due to injuries.
The only forwards available for this game are the Moroccan veteran Baja and the Portuguese player Edinho, who is also over 30 years old.
Relying on these two old guys, I am afraid it will be difficult to have enough impact on Real Madrid's defense. When the time comes, Mourinho's team can confidently press forward and completely suppress Malaga at home.
Now for Pellegrini and his team, the only good news is... After the thirteenth round of the league, there is a half-month-long FIFA international match day.
The team got half a month of repair and adjustment period.
In addition, Real Madrid is a big player in the international football team. Maybe the national team's games will cause Real Madrid to be affected by the FIFA virus and give Malaga a little chance?
Just when Pellegrini was summarizing and reviewing the failures since he led the team in the office.
Bruno, the head coach of the U18 youth team, made a surprise visit.
And he said something that shocked Pellegrini.
"Sir, a top ten genius in history has appeared on my team!"
