For Malaga.
In fact, they can accept such a scene.
They were the side with the lead, and the final score was 0-0, and they could advance to the quarterfinals.
Ye Luo got the ball in the frontcourt. He looked up and saw that it was densely packed with people.
There are no gaps.
Yeluo pouted, passed the ball back to the midfielder, and then the midfielder continued to pass the ball back.
Faced with Lyon's shrinking defense, Malaga's players simply moved in the midfield.
Don’t you want to keep it?
Then just keep it like this.
The frogs boiled in warm water were eliminated, and no one can blame them.
So until the end of the first half, the score was zero to zero.
This result made reporters who supported Messi and Ronaldo very happy.
Media box, area for the Catalan media.
The Catalan reporters all discussed with smiles on their faces: "Judging from this situation, it is not surprising that the game between the two sides ended in a zero-to-zero match."
"As long as that guy doesn't score goals!"
"If he doesn't score, Leo will have a chance to catch up."
"Don't forget about that guy from Real Madrid."
"Don't worry, Leo will definitely respond."
Not only the media in Catalonia, but also the media in Madrid are supporting Ronaldo.
The Longguo reporter was not in a hurry.
After all, Ye Luo is still far ahead in the scorer list - leading by three goals, how can it not be considered far ahead?
So they didn't panic at all.
The neutral reporters were lamenting.
“There hasn’t been such fierce competition in the Champions League top scorer list for a long time.”
"If Ye Luo doesn't score in this game, the competition will become even more intense!"
"I really didn't expect that Lyon would set up a bus even though they were lagging behind. Don't they want to advance?"
"It's not that I don't want to advance, it's that I think the opponent will attack aggressively at home. Who would have thought that Malaga didn't give them a chance at all."
Reporters were buzzing.
Madrid.
Inside Real Madrid's training base.
It's already evening, but Mourinho is still holding a tactical meeting, because the next game is the Madrid derby. Real Madrid will play Atletico Madrid away from home. This game cannot be careless.
But inside the conference room.
Ronaldo was obviously a little distracted.
When Mourinho announced that the meeting was over, he quickly took out his mobile phone.
Marcelo on the side smiled slightly: "No need to look, that kid didn't score a goal."
Hearing this, Ronaldo also showed excitement on his face.
He feels very good about scoring goals this season. In his opinion, he has a chance to top the scorer list.
Moreover, Real Madrid's progress in the Champions League and league is going very smoothly.
If we can successfully win the Champions League and League titles, there will also be a European Cup this year.
In the European Cup, if he can lead Portugal to perform better and score more goals.
That.
This year’s Golden Globe Award is guaranteed!
Since 2008, he won the Ballon d'Or with Manchester United.
The winner of the Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years has been Messi.
This puts too much pressure on Ronaldo.
Winning the Golden Ball again is Ronaldo’s obsession.
But who would have thought that besides Messi, another Ye Luo would emerge from the sky.
The pressure of competition is even greater!
However, this also brought greater motivation and fighting spirit to Ronaldo.
Strong opponents can also make themselves better.
Barcelona.
Messi's home.
The TV was still on, and players from Malaga and Lyon entered the tunnel one after another.
"Leo, Leo!"
The sound got louder and louder until...
Snapped.
Antonella's palm slapped Messi on the back, and he suddenly reacted.
"What's wrong?"
Messi looked back.
I saw my wife's slightly stunned expression.
"Ye Luo, Ye Luo, Ye Luo! You have been paying more attention to this guy's news lately than you have been to me!"
After hearing this, Messi couldn't help but touch his nose, turned off the TV, and went to coax his wife.
In the home team's locker room.
Malaga's players had some regrets when they entered the dressing room.
They were all prepared for a fierce confrontation.
The results of it?
That's it?
Leon is too cowardly!
They are still lagging behind!
"Leon is too cowardly."
"They actually didn't press forward and attack."
"We wasted all our efforts and prepared an offensive plan for a week, but now it has turned into a mistake in the midfield and backcourt."
"It's a pity, but if the second half is still like this, can we advance easily?"
The Malaga players are still complaining.
Pellegrini pushed open the door and entered.
He walked to the middle of the locker room, clapped his hands, drew everyone's attention to himself and said: "Everyone, this matter is a mistake in judgment by our coaching staff."
Pellegrini spread his hands: "After all... I didn't expect any team to set up a bus when they were behind."
The Malaga players couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Although the score is zero to zero.
But they felt very happy at this time.
Why does Lyon have buses?
Aren't they just afraid of their offensive strength and don't dare to attack them?
Too.
Málaga can compete with Bayern Munich even in a head-to-head matchup.
At this moment, Pellegrini looked at Yelo: "Ye, you had several opportunities in the first half to force a shot. Why did you choose to pass back?"
Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, then said: "The reason is simple, because we are leading and I don't want to give the ball to the opponent easily."
Pellegrini nodded, his eyes showing admiration.
He remembered the year before last, when he first saw Ye Luo's information and the way Ye Luo played.
He knew it then.
This guy is a bit independent. He always kicks the ball by himself whenever he has the opportunity. He has a very strong desire to attack the goal.
did not expect.
Now in order to ensure that the team can advance steadily, he actually chose the safest way to deal with it.
Maybe this is responsibility.
What a good captain!
Pellegrini looked at the other Malaga players and said: "Everyone should know that behind our captain, there are two pursuers. Their performance in this round of the Champions League is so shocking. Got it!"
"So... I think we need to ask our captain to do something. Don't you think so?"
"Yes! Captain, just shoot! They are not afraid if they get the ball, we will hold them down!"
"You have to believe us!"
For a time, Malaga players expressed their opinions one after another.
Both Messi and Ronaldo have strong support from their teammates.
We in Málaga cannot lag behind.
The Brazilian beast Baptista patted Yelo on the shoulder and said: "Ye, in the second half, I retreated to the midfield, and you go to the front! I will nip any possible counterattack they may have in the cradle!"
Seeing that everyone expressed their support for him, Ye Luo stopped being pretentious: "Okay! Then I'll let go and shoot!"
Before the start of the second half.
Many commentators, media people, football experts and the like think so.
For Malaga, the smartest way is to wait and see.
See how Leon reacts.
If they keep busing.
Then continue to play like you did in the first half, kill time, and advance to the quarterfinals safely.
If Lyon presses out to attack, then Malaga will counterattack. Anyway, they have a two-goal lead and four away goals in hand.
As long as Malaga doesn't make any major mistakes in the second half, promotion is basically guaranteed.
But at the beginning of the second half.
Malaga's performance left many commentators stunned.
"Malaga has strengthened its attack?" Andres, the commentator of Radio Cobe, saw it.
"They are going to..." Immediately afterwards, the commentator of France Sports 1 also discovered.
"Ye Luo!! Turn around and volley!!"
at the scene.
In the commentary box.
The commentator from Malaga Tower TV suddenly stood up and roared loudly.
On the field.
Ye Luo retreated from the penalty area, received a cross pass from his teammate near the arc of the penalty area, turned around and kicked!
The ball finally hit the defensive player and crossed the baseline!
but
After seeing this ball.
Everybody knows.
Ye Luo was not polite in the second half!
Second half.
In fact, Malaga did not invest much offensive power.
Many times, Ye Luo is left to solve problems by himself.
Their tactics are very simple, that is, control the ball in the midfield, watch Yello's movement, and pass the ball to Yello once there is an opening.
Whether it's on the ground or in the air, in short, just pass the ball to Ye Luo's feet.
This is a very simple and crude tactic.
What he used was Ye Luo's personal ability.
Generally speaking, such an offense lacks hierarchy and continuity.
Generally speaking, no team is afraid of this type of offense.
But unfortunately, when your opponent is Ye Luo, the threat of this offensive method is unprecedented.
There are just too many ways for Yelo to attack the goal.
Long shots, passing, grabbing points, headers.
Every way is top notch, super first class.
You simply can't run a very effective targeted defense.
If you focus on guarding against his long-range shots, he can pass through, draw fouls, and hit free kicks. If you guard against him on the ground, he can also create threats in the air.
For example, now.
Isco takes a corner kick.
Ye Luo once again grabbed the first point.
Whoever made the ball go too high was hugged by Lloris, but it is obvious that Malaga can threaten Lyon's goal even without investing many offensive personnel.
Now the problem is back in the hands of Lyon coach Remi Garde.
Malaga was on the offensive, but they couldn't get a chance to counterattack - there were too many people in the opponent's backcourt.
And if Lyon continues to be so defensive.
Then maybe Ye Luo really has a way to get one in.
And what about Lyon taking the initiative to attack?
If he could, Remy would have done it.
Just when Remy Garde had a headache.
Their goal was lost in the 63rd minute of the game.
The person who scored their goal was Ye Luo.
He was kicked down by center back Sissoko after a successful dribble in the penalty area.
The referee did not hesitate this time and awarded a penalty kick directly.
Due to the controversy and public backlash from the last game.
This time, Platini didn't mess up anything.
He hopes that French football will be good and that Lyon will advance.
But these are not as good as his position as UEFA president.
For these mere things, Platini does not want to make his position as UEFA president unstable - this is a deal he does not want to do.
after all.
He didn't organize it.
If the backlash in public opinion is too great, it is not impossible for people within UEFA to kick him out.
So this time the referee was assigned to an English referee, Atkinson, although this guy also has the nickname "Blind Monk" in the Premier League.
But it is said that he, an English referee, deliberately targeted Malaga.
That would be nonsense.
"Yeluo breaks through. Sissoko stretches his foot. Penalty kick! Undisputed penalty kick!"
Even without the help of the slow motion of the TV broadcast, you can clearly see that after Yello dunked the ball, Sissoko's foot stretched out and hooked Yello to the ground.
Sissoko himself didn't argue, he just kept taking deep breaths and panting.
Ye Luo alone turned their defense upside down.
He regretted it just now when he stretched out his foot.
But helpless.
at that moment.
He was indeed starved of oxygen to his head.
Yelo stood at the penalty spot holding the ball, facing Lloris.
He placed the football and looked at Atkinson.
Atkinson blew the whistle.
Ye Luo took a few steps to run up and volleyed hard.
The football went to the right.
The ball is extremely fast.
Loris guessed the right direction and couldn't save it.
This is the style of Yello's penalty kick.
Just hit the four corners.
Just smoke.
Don't fight with your goalkeeper.
Take your guess.
Even if you guess it right, you can't save it.
"Ye Luo! The penalty kick was definitely hit!!"
"Beautiful! The seventeenth goal in the Champions League!! Oh my god, is he going to score more than 20 goals in the Champions League this season?"
"terrible!"
"He's widened the gap again!"
Yelo didn't celebrate too much after scoring the goal.
Just a penalty kick, a small problem.
After being scored, Lyon was completely free of desires.
If they are to advance now, they have to score at least four goals without Malaga scoring no more.
This basically leaves them with no hope.
So the next game.
Lyon seemed to have no desire and their only hope was not to continue to concede goals.
And what about Ye Luo?
It also clashed with Lyon's defense.
17 goals is an exaggeration.
But Ye Luo was not satisfied.
He is still working tirelessly to score goals.
Since the whole team supports him, if he doesn't score a few more goals, wouldn't he be betraying the good intentions of his teammates?
In the 86th minute when the game was about to end.
Yeluo captured the opportunity in the penalty area.
That was Joaquín vigorously sweeping the ball toward the goal near the sideline.
And Ye Luo made a clever push with the arch of his foot in the small penalty area.
The football rolled between Lloris' legs and into the goal.
"Ye Luo!!!! The ball scored again! Unbelievable!! Two to zero!! Ye Luo scored twice!!"
"He scored his 18th Champions League goal of the season!!"
In the commentary box.
Many commentators put their heads in their hands!
8 games.
18 goals!
Oh, God.
How did he do that?
This is too scary!
"Yelo! Oh wow! The second half of the game was completely his own performance. His two goals helped Malaga beat Lyon 2-0 at home. The total score became 6-2. Malaga was going to Advance to the quarterfinals!!!”
"Messi and Ronaldo both scored five goals in the two knockout rounds of the top 16. They used their crazy state to show the world that they wanted to catch up with Ye Luo, but looking back, Ye Luo immediately scored with a goal Proclaimed his strength for the second time!”
After scoring the goal, Yello was also surrounded by Malaga players.
They excitedly slapped Ye Luo's shoulders, hair, and back.
In this game, Málaga did not attack at all.
All offenses were led by Ye Luo himself. He was completely helpless in the penalty area.
But even so.
He still scored.
Got two in! !
After entering the knockout round, five goals were scored in two rounds.
In the Champions League.
It can be seen how important a Yello in excellent form is to Malaga.
finally.
Malaga defeated Lyon 2-0 at home.
In the two rounds, they defeated their opponents with a total score of 6 to 2 and advanced to the quarterfinals.
After the game.
Ye Luo was once again surrounded by reporters in the mixed zone.
"Golden boots? I never think this thing can be snatched away by others! My focus is not on this, but that the team has entered the quarterfinals! We want to go further in the Champions League!"
Ye Luo said loudly.
His words were arrogant.
But neither journalists in Catalonia nor Madrid could argue with that.
because.
Ye Luo has now scored 18!
A full 4 points ahead of Messi and 5 points ahead of Ronaldo!
Such a gap.
Who dares to say that he can catch up?
Remi Garde admitted his failure at the post-match press conference: "We played very conservatively, but there was nothing we could do. We were facing Yello. After conceding four goals at home, there was basically no hope. After advancing, our only hope was to counterattack while ensuring defense, but obviously, we failed. He is just too powerful."
"He's just too strong!"
Accompanied by a photo of Remi Garde looking sad on the sidelines and a somewhat blurry scene in the distance of Malaga celebrating a goal.
"Lyon suffered a complete defeat at the Rose Garden. They were defeated 2-0 by Malaga. Yello scored his eighteenth goal in the Champions League this season and his fifth goal in the knockout rounds. ball!"
"Scoring five goals in two games, and on such a top stage as the Champions League knockout rounds, not many people can do it, but in this round, two rounds of knockout rounds, three players did it, but Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both have strong team-mate support, but what about Yello? Malaga's lineup is far behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, but he did it, and he topped the scorer list!"
