"Sporting de Gijon doesn't have many options, they are always used to defending away from home."
Inside the home dressing room at the Rose Garden.
Pellegrini said to his players.
"But we can't take it lightly. They have a certain ability to counterattack, so... our two central defenders cannot press forward! We must contain their counterattack line as soon as possible!"
The two main central defenders nodded repeatedly when they heard this.
Showdowns between teams ranked in the middle and lower reaches are sometimes like this, and it is likely to turn into an anxious battle in which both sides "do not want to make progress."
For example, now.
Sporting Gijon was determined to set up a bus, but Málaga, which did not have much ability to break the bus, did not dare to attack too hard to avoid being counterattacked by the opponent.
Therefore, unless something unexpected happens, this kind of game will generally not go well.
But now Malaga can have a player who can cause some surprises... or surprises.
"If the opponent shrinks their defense, it means we can have a lot of time to control the ball in the frontcourt." Pellegrini looked at Yelo when he said this, "Yelo, your position can be more flexible. , look for their weak points and ask for the ball to make bold breakthroughs! Create more opportunities for set-pieces in the frontcourt."
The set-piece attack in the frontcourt is also a good way to break the dense defense.
Ye Luo nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "No problem, boss!"
Pellegrini nodded, took a deep breath and said: "For us, no matter whether we defeat any opponent at this stage, we only get three points. Half the season is almost over, and we have only got nine points. It is absolutely impossible for us to achieve relegation in La Liga with this result..."
"Victory over Real Madrid is a good opportunity. This must be the beginning of Málaga's bottoming out. We must win points one by one. Only by getting enough points to avoid relegation can we talk about anything else!"
Pellegrini didn't say anything too sensational.
Because this game requires patience.
Although Malaga has players like Yello, the overall strength is here, and there is nothing to be proud of.
Sporting Gijon needs to avoid relegation.
Why doesn’t Malaga need it?
Although...in this winter transfer window, the new boss will definitely invest heavily, but it is difficult to say how effective the investment will be. Neither Pellegrini nor the team's players can count on winter transfers. You can rebound by buying some people in the window - before that, any points gained are extremely valuable.
It was the first time for Yello to set foot in Malaga's home stadium - the Malaga Rose Garden Stadium.
This stadium once attracted 100,000 people to watch Shakira's concert.
However, it is definitely not possible to let so many people in during a football match. In fact, for safety reasons, the stadium is usually not allowed to be completely crowded.
About 40,000 tickets are released for Málaga's home games, but not all of the 40,000 tickets are usually sold. The home team has about 25,000 fans, and the away team usually has a few thousand. The overall occupancy rate is around 75%.
When Yelo entered the court.
The cheers of the home team's fans were like the roar of a volcano, with hot lava rising into the sky.
"Welcome to our No. 41, Ye..."
"Ye Luo!!"
Led by a live DJ.
All the fans chanted Ye Luo's name.
Ye Luo turned his head and looked at the scene of thunderous cheers, and his desire for the game could not help but become stronger.
Maybe this is the encouragement brought by home court.
The television camera focused on Ye Luo.
His close-up appeared on the television screen.
The National TV station of Dragon Kingdom broadcast this game without any suspense - although the Atletico Madrid game started at the same time in this round.
But the vast majority of Dragon Kingdom fans definitely want to watch this game.
Because there are players from the Dragon Kingdom playing in this game!
Everyone's belief and desire for football are projected on these Dragon Country players who play in the five major leagues.
As long as there are games in the five major leagues in which Dragon Kingdom players appear, they will definitely occupy the first place in the ratings in Dragon Kingdom on that match day.
Now, Ye Luo is the only player from the Dragon Kingdom who has studied abroad in the five major leagues.
All this huge attention fell on Ye Luo.
"Yeluo starts without any doubt! This is his second consecutive La Liga start! I hope he can continue his performance against Real Madrid in the last round and score again!"
Duan Xuan's voice also reached the ears of the fans watching the live broadcast of the game through the TV.
"Come on! Ye Luo!"
Almost every fan is silently cheering for Ye Luo.
And in the cheering boxes at the Rose Garden.
There are also people who are looking forward to Ye Luo's wonderful performance.
That was Mendes, who had just signed a temporary commission with Ye Luo.
Next to Mendes is the team's general manager Fernando Sanz.
Sanz had a bit of a wry smile on his face. ,
"Jorge, do you know how exaggerated your conditions are? Although my boss is rich, there is no way he can agree to this condition!"
"Why is it impossible? If you spend tens of millions to retain a superstar, it's not certain who will lose and who will gain." Mendes spread his hands and said, "Who told you that you are not bound by a professional contract."
Sanz shook his head and said: "Of course I know his value. But he is not yet eighteen years old! Look at your conditions: a signing fee of 10 million euros, an annual salary of 10 million euros after tax, and you only signed a four-year contract. , plus a liquidated damages of up to 60 million, goal bonuses, winning bonuses, and appearance fees are all double the current highest level in Malaga!"
"Contracts like this are for the really big stars."
“Don’t you think my clients are big enough?”
Mendes smiled.
"Fernando, don't think that he is the one taking advantage. If Malaga cannot keep Yello, do you know how much loss this means? With a four-year contract and a liquidated damages of 60 million, there will definitely be teams that directly If we pay the liquidated damages and take him away, Malaga will only make a profit but not lose anything."
Do I want to make more money...
Sanz thought.
While the two were talking, the game had already started.
As soon as Sanz looked up, he saw Ye Luo wandering to the middle to get the ball, then turn around and volley directly!
The football flew close to the turf, hit a defensive player's foot, was refracted, and entered the net from the other side!
One to zero!
The game had only started for two minutes.
Malaga broke Sporting Gijon's "iron barrel formation".
The smile on Mendes's face seemed a little proud. ,
"How about it, my brother."
Sans shook his head helplessly.
Tangled ah.
Of course he hopes Malaga can win.
But if Ye Luo performs too well in these games...
Then there is no reason to lower the price.
Do we really have to agree to Mendes’ conditions?
