In the locker room.
Everyone looked at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Yeluo could only spread his hands and said: "I don't want to conspire, but in the eyes of the outside world, we may be the weakest team among the top four, and Barcelona is the strongest. Team, so... if Platini doesn't want us to advance to the final, who can we draw?"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly. Everyone knew this, but Yello also revealed a fact: UEFA, or Platini, did not want to see Malaga advance.
The memory of playing against Lyon comes to mind.
Seeing that everyone was not in a high mood, Yelo had to say: "Barcelona is indeed difficult to play, but don't forget, the two times we faced Barcelona before were both at their home court, and our results were one win and one draw."
"But this is the Champions League," one player said.
The Champions League and the league are different, everyone knows this.
"Platini won't cause trouble in this game, right?"
"Probably...not right? This is the semifinals."
"Maybe he thinks that Barcelona can eliminate us with its hard power." Yello made a joke.
Málaga's players quickly put their semi-final draw against Barcelona behind them.
Because even if it’s not Barcelona, it’s Real Madrid or Bayern.
In fact, they are almost the same.
The opponents are all super wealthy.
The strength is between equals.
No matter who Malaga encounters, it will be very difficult to reach the final!
Therefore, this draw actually does not have high expectations for Malaga.
But fans of Real Madrid and Bayern are lamenting.
Why was this great gift package taken away by Barcelona?
"Stop being greedy, do you think you have a godfather?"
"What's the use of a godfather? Wasn't the one who had a biological father eliminated last time?"
Fans of both teams complained unwillingly.
On the Dragon Kingdom network, fans are also worried about the fate of Malaga.
after all
Barcelona was the defending champion last season.
[Southland Sports News] analyzed the draw results: "For Malaga, there is no luck in the draw to enter the semi-finals. They have to face one of the three giants of Royal Saren, but the draw Going to Barcelona is one of the more difficult opponents. Barcelona’s strength lies here, but Malaga is not without advantages. First of all, they have not lost in the last two games against Barcelona, which may bring trouble to Malaga. There is a psychological advantage. In addition, no team has successfully defended the Champions League since its restructuring. Although this statement is a bit metaphysical, now, this seems to be beneficial to Malaga."
The fans of the Dragon Country have great confidence in Malaga.
"I'm afraid, I've beaten Barcelona before in the league."
"Indeed, we have met three opponents. This is actually much better than playing against Chelsea."
"Just do it."
This optimism stems from the fans' blind trust and support for Yeluo.
But in this public opinion environment.
There are also discordant sounds.
"No, no, no one really thinks that Málaga can beat Barcelona, right? No one really thinks that the league and the Champions League can be equal, right? No one really thinks that in the league If you beat Barcelona, you can beat Barcelona in the Champions League, right? Real Sociedad often beats Real Madrid in the league. You want them to try to win the Champions League? Blind optimism is just arrogance." - Ma Xixin on his scarf I wrote this scarf.
Soon, it was screenshotted by many fans and forwarded to many forums.
Everyone knows the conflict between Ma Gaixin and Ye Luo, or the Dragon Country Football Association and Ye Luo.
At this time, Ma Xin suddenly had a sense of presence, which was very dazzling among the Dragon Country fans who almost overwhelmingly supported Malaga.
"Dog whore, isn't a slap in the face enough?"
"Why did this guy come out to increase his presence again?"
"You are a member of Barcelona?"
"WTF."
Fans made a wave of comments on this Weibo.
But Ma Xin was not surprised by this.
The mentality is very stable.
And he's not without supporters.
Many "Ye Hei" huddled together under his scarf to keep warm.
"These footballers blindly think what kind of team Barcelona is, and they still eliminated Barcelona? They eliminated Lyon and Chelsea in the knockout round, so they don't know who they are?"
Under this scarf, an account certified as a "well-known media person" commented.
This comment received responses from many people.
Of course, most of them export some national essence.
Ma Gaoxin also replied: "If Malaga knocks out Barcelona, I will live broadcast the show!"
Suddenly, under the interference of Ma Xin and others.
Public opinion has also become muddy.
In fact, because there are so many fans in Dragon Kingdom, even if most of them support Ye Luo, as long as a small proportion of them are "Ye Hei", it is still a huge number.
In addition, the Internet will naturally amplify the influence of extreme speech.
Therefore, it is not too strange that under the agitation of Ma Xin and others, the waters of public opinion have been muddied.
However, some of these "Ye Hei" remarks in the Dragon Kingdom are just rhetoric.
It cannot affect Yelo who is far away in Spain.
After the draw is over.
The media in Catalonia are cheering that Barcelona has won a big gift package.
In the 30th round of the league, Malaga held a press conference before the home game against Zaragoza.
A Catalan reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Pellegrini, what do you think of Malaga being drawn against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals?"
"I won't answer questions that have nothing to do with this game."
Pellegrini said.
Barcelona mouthpiece media such as Mundo Deportivo and Daily Sports also believe that Barcelona has drawn a good draw.
"Barcelona has a chance to become the first team to defend the Champions League since its reform!"
"The semi-final against Malaga? I really can't think of a reason why Barcelona would lose."
"It is quite difficult for Malaga to advance all the way to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, but I think their Champions League schedule is over here!"
The media in Catalonia are optimistic.
On the contrary, Barcelona's players and head coach Guardiola are very low-key.
Of course they knew that Ye Luo had the strength to threaten their defense.
The two-round knockout round has not yet reached the point where one team is certain to win.

"The next schedule is too difficult for Malaga. Not only do they have to face Barcelona twice in the Champions League semi-finals, but they also have to face Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 33rd and 37th rounds of the league. If it is in At the beginning of the season, people may still have expectations for Málaga, but at the end of the season, can Málaga really break through in this difficult final schedule?"
Under the questioning of the media and public opinion.
Malaga continue their away schedule.
They are going to play Getafe away.
Malaga played very smoothly in this game. They scored one goal in each half and took a 2-0 lead. Both goals were scored by Yello. Yello increased his goal tally to 38 goals. !
By the end of the season, Yelo's scoring form also came.
But the bad thing is...
In this game, Cazorla was injured by a tackle

And in this round of the league.

The competition for the standings and the Golden Boot is also very fierce.
April 15th.
In the 32nd round of the league, Malaga faced Levante at home.

If they lose to Barcelona and are eliminated from the Champions League, if they lose to Real Madrid and are opened up by five points, then Malaga has almost no chance of winning the championship! These three games are the ultimate test for Malaga! If they can survive, then Malaga may be able to win at least one championship this season! Malaga's Now it’s time for the players to be put to the real test!”
This is a common view among the media.
The next three games.
Decide the fate of Malaga's season.
Malaga are also intensively preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
This match will be very difficult for Malaga.
Cazorla is injured and Ruud van Nistelrooy also has some muscle tightness and is not expected to play.
Van Nistelrooy can be replaced by Baptista, but Cazorla's absence really puts Malaga's midfield in danger.
Of course, Isco can be pulled back to the midfield to play Cazorla's position, but Isco is young after all, and his experience and ability are still somewhat behind the mature Cazorla.
During this period, Malaga made a lot of compromises to solve the problem of Cazorla's absence.
Pellegrini made adjustments to the team's formation.
He decided to let Ye Luo play at the 10th position - Ye Luo's position is very flexible, so he can play any position.
On the forward line is Baptista. On both sides of Yelo, Isco and Joaquin play as double forwards.
And behind him.
It's Tularang partnering with Juanito, playing as a double midfielder!
Malaga has been focusing on practicing this 4231 system during this period.
The team also remembered the closed training. During the half-hour media opening time every day, the media could only take pictures of Malaga players warming up.
The time has finally arrived amidst all the anticipation, the day before the game.
Barcelona's players arrived in Malaga a day early.
The focus of everything.
Everyone gathered in Malaga and focused on the Rose Garden Stadium.

A piece of breaking news shocked everyone.

The fines The amount is currently unknown, but there is a high probability that Malaga will not be able to participate in the Champions League next season."
[French Football] Report.
Like a huge boulder, thrown into the calm lake, it immediately caused an uproar!
Before the Champions League semi-final between Malaga and Barcelona.
UEFA actually released such a rumor!

Almost all the media started to follow suit.
".Malaga cannot pass the financial balance review and will be banned from the European competition next season!"
"The president of La Liga declined to comment on the matter."
".The Spanish Football Federation has not responded to this news."
"The timing of this news breaking is too unfavorable for Malaga. They will inevitably be distracted before the war."

It instantly overshadowed all the news about the Champions League semi-finals.
It has become the hottest news at the moment! !
When the Malaga players returned to the locker room after training.

"Platini! It's really yours!"
"At such a time, such news broke! Haha, our dear UEFA President Mr. Platini really holds a grudge."
"What the hell is UEFA!!"
The Malaga players were furious.

Ye Luo suddenly laughed.
"Everyone, everyone"
He clapped his hands and raised the corners of his mouth.

"so."
Yello's eyes passed over every Malaga player.
"So if we knock out Barcelona."
"The expression on Platini's face must be quite wonderful."
