Stress can overwhelm everything.
Pellegrini is also a head coach with championship experience, but most of his players have no experience in this area.
Two goals behind and another loss at the top.
It is not surprising that this kind of pressure accumulates and completely crushes a team.
"We have to make some changes."
Assistant coach Maroska said with a solemn expression.
"Yeah. We have to make some changes."
Pellegrini murmured.
He looked toward the bench.
An attacker who can be trusted is Ruud Ruud.
But who will Ruud van Nistelrooy come down for?
Baptista?
Or simply play a double center?
Pellegrini took a deep breath.
In fact, at this time, any choice you make will have its own reasons. These are like two dishes placed in front of the coach.
Every dish has its pros and cons.
The key is to make a choice.
Although the choice may not be right.
But Pellegrini knows.
Doing nothing at this time is the worst.
"Ruud has gone to warm up. Who is he going to replace? Matthiessen?! God, Pellegrini is crazy!"
"Replacing the center back with a center forward, Málaga will be desperate!"
Commentators were shocked by Pellegrini's choice of substitution.
The camera lens also locked on Pellegrini on the sidelines.
This substitution choice is indeed quite crazy.
Now the team only has one center back, Demichelis.
Can he take care of such a large defense area?
"Isn't this too radical?"
Maloska asked.
Pellegrini was silent for a moment, turned to look at his assistant and said: "I have to let the players know that we have to work hard in every game!"
His eyes returned to the court.
"Winning the championship is so easy."
"Guys, the coach asked me to tell you that winning any championship trophy will never be easy. Now is the time for us to fight hard!!"
"In this game, even if we lose by a big score, we must press forward and attack! Only attack can restore the decline!"
Van Nistelrooy's words shocked the Malaga players.
At first, everyone thought that the head coach had lost his head after the opponent counterattacked so sharply and even replaced a central defender.
But now, they know that this game is about to go all out, and the bayonets will see red!
Valencia is not a soft persimmon, but if they lose this game, it is not certain whether the team can come back.
"Cheer up, everyone! We can't accept losing!"
Ye Luo also clapped his hands and encouraged loudly.
Fanny looked at Ye Luo.
he knows.
With his current physical condition, he cannot be the team's savior.
The only one who can be the savior is Ye Luo in front of him.
He put his arm around Yelo's shoulders and said, "Bapu and I are at the front, giving you room to shoot!"
"give it to me!"
Ye Luo nodded.
"Attack! We need to attack!"
The effect after Ruud came on the field was indeed immediate.
It can also be said that the goddess of luck always favors those who work hard.
The first minute after Malaga put on a desperate stance.
The football was passed from the backcourt to Ruud van Nistelrooy's feet.
This was Ruud van Nistelrooy's first touch of the ball. He didn't dribble or shoot. Instead, he kicked the ball directly and passed the ball diagonally to the gap on the left rib of the penalty area.
That’s the experience of being a veteran.
he knows.
If you stop the ball, observe, and then pass the ball.
Then there is no chance.
Now is the time to be quick.
It's not that the old man Fanny ran very fast.
It’s about thinking quickly.
He didn't see his teammate when he passed the ball, but he believed that if a teammate saw the same gap as he did, it would be a good opportunity.
It was a risky pass.
If you want to score goals, how can you do it without taking risks?
The rewards of Fanny's adventure are great!
When the football passed to Ruud van Nistelrooy's feet, Yelo also saw the space in the ribs of the penalty area.
He resolutely inserted himself into this gap.
If Ruud didn't pass it, then he was just running in vain.
But if it comes through, it’s an excellent opportunity!
If you want to score goals, you have to run.
Yelo tops the scorer list, but not every goal he scores is a world-wide hit. They all pass by several people or are long-range shots.
In fact, many goals are like this.
Movement, passing, getting into gaps, shooting.
Just like now, when Yello started, Ruud van Nistelrooy's pass also came over.
Yelo's off-the-ball movement and Ruud van Nistelrooy's risky passing fit together at this moment.
So Ye Luo, who is running, only needs to lift his feet and push.
The ball speed of football is not particularly fast, but it is pushed into the blind spot.
Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves fell to the ground to save, but was completely out of reach.
The football stuck to the far post and got into the goal!
Such a goal made many Valencia players unable to react.
Before their defense was fully organized, they were overwhelmed by the rapid passing and cutting of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Yello in the middle.
Some Valencia players even raised their hands and complained that Yello was offside, but there was a Valencia player who recovered the ball at the far post. The ball could not have been offside in any case.
"Ye Luo.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Malaga pulled one back! They are only one goal behind now! The game has only lasted sixty minutes, and there is still hope for Malaga!!"
Under the huge boos at the Mestalla stadium, Yello rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, and then high-fived Ruud Ruud while running back to the center circle. This was considered a goal celebration. .
"We have to hurry up!"
"One ball is not enough!"
Malaga's players were inspired by the goal, and their physical and mental fatigue seemed to be gone.
"They scored, the one who scored was."
Mourinho directly interjected: "Is it Ye?"
Faria nodded.
"It doesn't matter, we just need to focus on our game. We can't decide other people's matters."
Mourinho looked towards the pitch.
His expression was still that enigmatic.
Faria estimates that he is planning a direct dialogue between Real Madrid and Malaga.
Can Real Madrid win smoothly at the Rose Garden Stadium?
Faria thought.
In fact, Mourinho was really surprised by Malaga's performance.
It stands to reason that this season is indeed a good opportunity for Real Madrid to win the league championship.
Real Madrid's next opponent in the Champions League is Inter Milan. As the coach who led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown, Mourinho knows very well that Inter Milan is basically still the same lineup after he left. There are so many players in this team. There are basically no opponents with many enterprising veterans. It is still very easy for Real Madrid to get past them.
And Malaga has to pass Chelsea.
It's hard!
Although Chelsea has changed coaches, the veterans in their team have controlled the situation. The strength of Chelsea's lineup lies here. Malaga is Chelsea's favorite opponent - Malaga is not good at defense. They rely too much on Yello. Depends on the team's offense.
Therefore, these two Champions League knockout matches with Chelsea will definitely cost Malaga a huge amount.
Strategically.
Mourinho certainly hopes Malaga lose this game.
The accumulation of stress does not happen overnight.
Rather, it accumulates slowly, little by little.
Every time you lose a point, it's an accumulation of pressure.
but now.
Malaga actually pulled a goal back.
Then the result of this game is unpredictable.
Mourinho was right.
Not long after the game resumed, Málaga, playing away from home, regained the ball and restarted the attack!
"Cazorla broke away from the midfielder and passed to the wing!! Isco is so beautiful!! He broke away from the defense with a stop and passed the ball!!!"
At the moment when Isco passes the ball.
In the Valencia penalty area.
The role of the double center forwards of Baptista and Ruud van Nistelrooy is reflected.
The two centers rushed towards the small penalty area at the same time, forming a momentum of two ghosts hitting the goal.
Goalkeeper Diego Alves did not dare to be careless. He struck out immediately, leaped high and punched the ball out!
But the football flew towards Ye Luo near the arc of the penalty area impartially!
Ye Luo drew his bow and drew an arrow!
Volley!
boom! !
Diego Alves had just landed, but saw the football suddenly flying towards him, and instinctively raised his hand.
The football hit Diego Alves' wrist and changed direction, but this change of direction was not enough for him to save the ball.
The football still hit the net!
"Isco passed the ball to Diego and hit the ball out of the penalty area. Yello shot directly?!"
as the narrator exclaimed.
Yello's volley blast once again helped Malaga score.
"The ball has been scored! Yes! The ball has been scored again. It has only been less than a minute since the last goal. Malaga has another victory! Valencia, who are playing at home, were stunned."
"Two to two! Malaga equalizes the score!"
After scoring the goal, Yelo did not rush into the goal this time.
He clenched his fists, opened his arms, and roared to celebrate the goal.
His teammates came up to hug him.
The Mestalla Stadium was silenced by Yello's volley.
Valencia fans held their heads in their hands and watched in disbelief what was happening on the court.
"Yelo! Yello! Yello again! He scored two goals in one minute! Incredible, incredible! Malaga equalized the score within one minute after falling behind by two goals! This is really amazing It’s unbelievable!”
"Look at the expressions of Valencia's players and fans. The Mestalla stadium is a little confused at this moment. Anyone who leads two goals and is equalized in a short time will probably have this expression."
"Poor Valencia, they were leading by two goals a minute ago and had great hopes of beating Malaga at home. Now. Now they have become the unluckiest people."
"Cristiano Ronaldo!!!"
Calderon Stadium.
In the commentary box, many commentators spread their arms and shouted.
Cristiano Ronaldo is spreading his arms and celebrating passionately at Calderon.
He always feels very good against Simeone's teams.
That's right.
Real Madrid scored.
They are two goals ahead!
Leading the home team Atletico Madrid 2-0 in the away game!
On the pitch, Real Madrid players celebrated wildly.
In the visiting team's stands, Real Madrid fans were waving white scarves, cheering and jumping for joy.
There was also joy in the coaching bench.
Mourinho celebrated the goal with his assistants.
But he was quickly caught by Faria.
"That...Jose" Faria hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?" Mourinho smiled.
"You really don't care what happens over there?"
"What?" Mourinho was stunned. He didn't expect Faria to come to him because of the Malaga incident.
"Malaga equalized the score."
"What?"
Mourinho had a look of surprise on his face.
"I remember just two minutes ago you told me they scored?
"Yes, Yeluo scored two goals in one minute and they equalized." Faria spread his hands and said helplessly.
"*****"
Mourinho whispered something in Portuguese.
pressure.
It's mutual.
Malaga players are under pressure.
Why not Real Madrid?
If Malaga had stayed ahead.
So
This pressure.
I'm afraid it will be dumped to Real Madrid.
The Mestalla finally booed again.
Valencia fans recovered from conceding two goals in a minute and responded with boos.
But for the Malaga players.
The confusion on their faces has disappeared, replaced by confidence.
The television camera focused on Ye Luo.
"It's unbelievable. Yello scored twice in this game. He has scored his 29th league goal in the league this season!"
"Averaging more than one goal per game is simply astounding."
The narrator is lamenting.
at the same time.
On the coaching bench in Malaga.
Assistant coach Marosca is reporting to Pellegrini on the situation at Real Madrid.
"Real Madrid leads Atletico Madrid 2-0."
Pellegrini said with a smile: "Don't worry about them, it's not a problem for us to win this game!"
Pellegrini guessed right.
Valencia was indeed overwhelmed by Malaga's offensive.
But they are quite tenacious.
Shrink the restricted area and defend to the death!
Malaga fans originally thought that after scoring two goals in a row, it was natural to win the game.
However, it was the 80th minute of the game.
The score was still a draw.
Valencia defended for twenty minutes, but Malaga still didn't score.
At the end of the game.
Malaga pressed forward across the board and besieged their opponents.
But the time left for them is getting less and less.
Including injury time, it was only twelve or thirteen minutes at most.
Can Malaga really score a goal in these ten minutes?
The excited Malaga fans were a little worried.
At this time, Emery no longer expected the team to win. He began to make substitutions, replacing two defensive players and replacing two attackers.
This is to maintain a tie.
Facing the championship team Malaga, getting a draw against Valencia is not bad.
Because the other four opponents are very likely to lose to Malaga.
Valencia was also very satisfied with one point.
But not Malaga.
one cent.
Not a cent will quench your thirst.
If they were tied in this game.
That would put them in second place in the standings, and they would still have the same points as Barcelona.
At the last moment.
Malaga basically doesn't pursue any complicated cooperation and penetration.
Like all teams who expect a goal in the final moments of the game.
They played crosses from the wing and long shots from outside the penalty area.
Now.
They can only pursue the number of attacks and trade quantity for quality.
"Cazorla long shot!!"
"Ye Luo... turned around and volleyed in the penalty area! Oh oh oh, it was almost!"
"Van Nistelrooy's header went wide!"
Time passed by minute by minute.
Malaga's offensive was fierce.
But Valencia's defense is also quite tenacious.
Malaga were never able to score their third goal.
This boot never hit the ground.
"They're still a draw!!"
The game at the Calderon Stadium has turned into garbage time.
Because Real Madrid already has a three-goal lead.
Ramos seized the opportunity of a corner kick and scored with a header, helping Real Madrid lead 3-0 away from Atletico Madrid.
Now not only the coaching bench, but also the Real Madrid bench are paying attention to this game in Malaga.
As long as Malaga cannot win, Real Madrid will climb to the top of the list again! !
When Mourinho heard that Malaga was still tied, he began to look forward to it vaguely.
If Valencia draws with Malaga
Next time Emery leads the team to visit the Bernabeu, he can consider buying him a drink.
Mourinho thought.
Game time is running out now.
The possibility of Malaga taking the lead is becoming less and less.
With the current score, Real Madrid is one point ahead of Malaga and tops the standings.
"There is not much time left for Malaga. Malaga is still attacking. Valencia is now retreating. All the fans at the Mestalla Stadium can't sit still and everyone stands up. . Two to two, this score is too subtle. In the 85th minute of the game, this game time is also too subtle. Can Malaga really score a goal and complete a decisive reversal?"
The voice of Duan Xuan, the commentator of Longguo National TV Sports Channel, also became anxious unconsciously.
Yelo received the ball outside the penalty area with his back to the goal. The Valencia defender behind him tried to prevent him from turning around.
Facing Ye Luo, all defenders did not dare to neglect.
This guy has almost no shortcomings. If he makes an oversight, he might score a goal.
When the football landed, Yelo stopped the ball, passed the ball back to Cazorla, and then turned around and ran towards the penalty area.
However, Valencia's defenders kept a close eye on him and when they saw him running into the penalty area, they retreated towards the penalty area.
But just at this moment, Ye Luo suddenly stopped and turned back!
This change of pace allowed him to temporarily escape the defense.
But this temporary time is very short - certainly not more than a second!
And Cazorla's football has also reached Yello's feet.
This is the tacit understanding between the two, and this is also the habit of Malaga players - when you need to score, look where Yelo is for the first time, and then give him the ball!
When Cazorla caught the ball, he originally planned to pass the ball into the penalty area, but when he saw Ye Luo suddenly stop, he knew what ball Ye Luo wanted. Luo.
Ye Luoke received the ball and had little time to adjust.
Although Valencia's defenders were temporarily freed by Yelo's sudden stop and turn, they were not sloths. Professional players would react very quickly. They all turned back immediately and pounced. Yeluo.
Therefore, Yeluo's receiver did not adjust, but chose to pick up the ball with his toes, and then his left foot was like a bearing, driving the body to rotate, the instep of his right foot was straightened, and his entire body was facing away from the goal. He turned around forcefully and whipped the ball towards the goal!
This ball is not easy to hit.
In fact, Ye Luo failed to exert any force, so this ball was more about pursuing angles.
The instep is like a table tennis racket, and football is like a table tennis ball at this time.
The instep cuts through the lower part of the football.
When the football flies up, it spins violently.
This rotation causes the football to create a rainbow-like arc as it travels through the air.
The arc bypassed all Valencia defenders.
Goalkeeper Diego Alves made a flying save, but failed to reach the ball.
See it from his perspective.
The football seemed to fly toward the sideline, then circled back, just passing through his fingertips and flying into the goal from his back.
"It's beautiful!!! Oh my god! It's so beautiful!! This ball! This ball"
Duan Xuan was speechless.
For a moment, he couldn't find the words to describe this goal.
"Ye Luo! Ye Luo! Hat trick! A beautiful turning volley! He scored his third goal in the game and his thirtieth goal this season!"
"Incredible! Incredible goal! Yello beat Valencia in the 87th minute of the game!"
"Three to two!!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful goal! Wonderful game!!"
"Yelo! Yelo! It's still Yello!! Pick the ball and turn and volley! It's all done in one go! What a wonderful, beautiful goal! Malaga beat Valencia!! They kept their top spot!"
The Mestalla stadium was filled with cheers from Malaga fans.
Valencia fans were stunned.
They looked shocked and disbelieving.
Yelo lost his center of gravity after scoring the goal. He fell to the ground, and just as he was about to get up to celebrate the goal, he was pressed to the ground by Cazorla, who was so excited that he was carried away.
Then came Ruud van Nistelrooy, Baptista, Isco, Turalang and Joaquín.
All the players stepped forward!
The pressure was so intense that Ye Luo rolled his eyes below.
I can't breathe
Ye Luo patted the grass.
But everyone doesn’t care about this.
What a reversal.
Killer, reversal.
Such a scene.
Who could not be excited?
