"Yello fell to the ground and committed a foul!! Mascherano committed a foul! A definite foul!!!"
exclaimed Andres, the commentator on Radio Corbe.
"Barcelona is in big trouble now!"
The commentators in the commentary box all said.
The Catalan commentator looked livid.
He actually wanted to say that Ye Luo fell.
But soon the monitor in front of him showed the replay of Mascherano's foul.
After Yello pushed the ball away, Mascherano stepped on it and shoveled Yello firmly to the ground!
If it wasn't a foul.
Sooner or later, football stadiums will become multiplayer online fighting arenas.
The Rose Garden was a complete meltdown.
The fans yelled toward the stadium crazily: "Red card!!"
Malaga players also rushed forward.
Ye Luo suddenly got up from the ground and opened his arms: Isn't this a red card?
Mascherano tried to struggle: "He's diving!"
"Fake it!"
Yelo roared at Mascherano.
But he was quickly held down by Fanny.
At this moment.
Be calm.
Don't make extravagant decisions.
As long as the referee calls a foul.
Then you must get a red card: according to the rules, a foul that destroys an obvious scoring opportunity is a red card.
If he goes it alone, is there still an obvious chance to score?
Not just Pellegrini, not just the commentator, not just the Malaga fans, not just the Malaga players.
Guardiola was also livid.
A great situation may be ruined in one moment!
"Mascherano committed a tackle foul. He stopped Yello's single shot, but he will also pay a heavy price for it!"
"The referee took out the red card and signaled Mascherano to get up."
"Mascherano was sitting on the ground and was constantly signaling to the referee that Yello was diving, but without the need for slow-motion replay, it was obvious that Mascherano was making a solid shovel. What was on Ye Luo’s foot, even if it wasn’t a one-on-one goal, this foul was enough to get a card.”
Mascherano also knew that he might not be able to escape.
He lingered on the ground for a long time before getting up.
Then the referee showed the red card and raised it to him.
"Red card! Red card! It's indeed a red card! Mascherano was sent off!"
"The game took a big turn when Barcelona were sent off with one man off while leading by one goal away from home."
"There are still more than 60 long minutes in the next game. During this long hour, they will fight with less and more, ten against eleven!"
"Mascherano obviously wiped Pique's butt. Pique's handling was too negligent and too casual. He should have cleared the ball early and settled the matter. But as a result, he was waiting, but what he waited for was Ye Luo touched the ball first, and when Yello pushed the ball away from Pique, Mascherano didn't have much choice. He could only fight to the death."
Mascherano turned around helplessly and walked out of the court.
The camera focused on his centre-back partner Pique.
obviously.
The foul was committed by Mascherano.
But this pot belongs to Pique
In the stands, Malaga fans gave a huge cheer.
The opponent now has one less person to fight.
And he is also the main central defender.
Here's your chance in Malaga!
for Barcelona.
Mascherano's ejection not only meant that they had to play less in this game.
Next game.
Mascherano can't play either.
This is a pretty heavy blow to Barcelona.
Because as Puyol gets older, he now sits on the bench more often.
Originally, Barcelona had high hopes for its youngster Fontas.
But obviously.
The emergence of a super platinum generation like Habaibumei is really just an accident.
For a super wealthy team.
Youth training is very important.
But you can’t just count on youth training.
Fontas has not been able to show the energy he had in the youth academy and B team in La Liga.
So now it is Mascherano who is more often paired with Pique as a central defender.
Mascherano was originally playing as a defensive midfielder.
However, Busquets is the main force in Barcelona's midfielder position. Mascheranola returns to play as a central defender. He naturally cherishes the opportunity to play.
So, from last season.
Mascherano has moved closer and closer to Barcelona's main center back position.
His number of appearances gradually surpassed that of Puyol.
But now.
The veteran Puyol, who was sitting on the bench, was about to be called upon in a critical situation and came on as a substitute.
While Puyol was warming up on the sidelines.
Guardiola frowned and thought about how to play next.
With one less player, even a team like Barcelona would not be able to handle it.
Stick to it?
This is not Barcelona's style.
Barcelona is not good at this either.
But the offense must not be able to press forward and attack.
Then we can only pursue control.
Villa was replaced, Sanchez returned to midfield, and Messi was alone in front.
Hit behind when you get the chance.
If there is no chance, pursue control of the ball as much as possible.
The more possession you have.
Malaga will have fewer attacking opportunities.
Keeping the ball at your feet is the best defensive strategy.
If we can take away a 1-0 score in the away game, this will be a good result for Barcelona, which has one less player.
Even if it is equalized, one to one, or even overtaken, two to one, that is still acceptable.
In fact, Mascherano's foul was quite timely.
Because if he had been slower, Ye Luo would have entered the penalty area!
From this perspective, Mascherano's foul is not completely worthless - at least he did not give Malaga a penalty kick.
Although the ball is very close to the penalty area.
But it’s actually not a very good location.
First of all, the position is about five meters to the left of the arc of the penalty area. Although the position is not particularly biased, compared with the angle facing the goal, the shooting angle is much smaller at this angle.
The second is that the foul position is almost close to the sideline.
Being too close to the goal is not conducive to exerting force.
With a little effort, the football flew up to the second-floor stands.
If he doesn't exert force, Valdes is not an amateur goalkeeper. How can he break through his defense if the ball is not fast enough?
When you play elevator ball, there isn't much room to fall.
It is very difficult for a curve ball to go around the wall and then fall down.
Isco and Yello stood in front of the ball.
In addition to the human wall on Barcelona's side, there are also those who are ready to rush out at any time to prepare for Malaga's free kick tactics.
The defense can be said to be quite tight.
Yelo stood in front of the ball and saw Barcelona's not-so-high human wall.
There are a lot of little guys in Barcelona's squad.
There are not many tall people.
Even though Pique is tall, Butzquets, Abidal and Alves are standing next to him.
A wall of four players, with Busquets and Pique standing in the middle, flanked by two full-backs less than 1.8 meters tall.
It seems that the angles on the left and right of kicking the wall are opportunities.
However, Barcelona's decision to let Abidal and Alves play the human wall was not an arbitrary arrangement.
People also come prepared.
Because both players have good bounces - full-backs, they are also very fast.
Therefore, after they jump up, it is not easy to get around them.
The wall blocked the near corner, while goalkeeper Valdes moved slightly closer to the far corner.
"Want to cooperate?"
Isco asked, covering his mouth.
Ye Luo looked at Barcelona's penalty area, which was facing a formidable enemy, and responded: "No, you can do a fake run for me later."
"good!"
The two of them covered their mouths during their discussions to avoid being seen by the other party - who knows if the Barcelona players can lip-read or something like that.
There is no body language either.
After the discussion is completed.
The two backed away.
Ye Luo looked at the referee.
After the referee blows the whistle.
Isco took the lead in the run-up.
Then there is Ye Luo.
The moment Ye Luo kicked the ball out.
Barcelona's human wall jumped up at the same time.
But Pique and others only discovered it after they jumped up.
The ball did not fly toward their heads!
Rather
Close to the ground!
The football rushed towards the goal against the turf.
In the blink of an eye, it rushed from under their feet!
No one expected that Ye Luo would handle this free kick like this.
Valdes didn't expect that either.
His habitual thinking directed his attention to the top of the wall.
When he saw the football come out from under the wall, it was too late.
Yelo's shooting speed is very fast.
The speed of this ball probably exceeds 120 kilometers per hour.
Such a fast speed.
The distance of more than ten meters is a blink of an eye.
Valdes failed to make any reaction and watched helplessly as the football clung to the turf and plunged into the goal.
"Yeluo and Isco are standing in front of the ball. It seems that Yeluo is here to kick the ball. Isco fakes a run and Yeluo shoots! The ball goes in!!"
The narrator is momentarily stunned.
Then he reacted.
"Ye Luo!!! Oh wow! Beautiful! He hit a ground ball and fooled everyone!"
"Malaga equalized the score! Yello! Yello! Incredible! Simply incredible! His 23rd goal in the Champions League!! He continues to expand his advantage in the scorer list! He continues to expand the Champions League single season Goal record!!”
"Oh my God! Twenty-three goals! Can you imagine? Can you imagine! He almost doubled this record!"
"Yelo continues to drag Malaga forward! Malaga equalized the score! I am now more and more convinced that something earth-shattering will happen in European football in the 2011-2012 season! A player who is like a king, With a small team, win the final Champions League! Don't think this is strange, look, look at Yello's condition, look at his performance!! Malaga equalized the score, and at the same time... they also Hit one more person! They have a chance, a chance to kill the suspense of the game in the first round!!"
to the narrator's exclamation.
On the court, Yelo, who stood with his arms outstretched to celebrate his goal, became the only protagonist.
Twenty-three Champions League goals.
Who else?
"Ye Luo! It's still Ye Luo!! He scored with a direct free kick! After being fouled and destroying his single shot, Ye Luo immediately announced with a direct free kick: His rich variety of offensive weapons is unmatched!!"
Duan Xuan shouted excitedly.
"He continues to expand his record!! Oh my god, twenty-three goals. Before this season, would you dare to imagine a player scoring 23 goals in the Champions League in a single season?"
“And the Champions League is not over yet!!”
Yello's goal was constantly replayed on the TV screen.
In fact, everyone knows it.
The wall jumps up and can be kicked down three lanes.
But this is easier said than done
First of all, the ball speed must be fast and at the same time, it must be able to hold down the ball.
This in itself is more difficult.
Secondly, the timing must be precise.
Because when you shoot, the wall may not have taken off yet, or may be just rising or falling, and the gap is not enough for the football to pass through.
However, Ye Luo hit a ball with extremely fast speed and very precise timing.
Catching Barcelona off guard.
When Yelo handled the ball.
Guardiola is still explaining some tactical arrangements to Puyol.
When Ye Luo blasted the ball into the goal.
Guardiola couldn't help but slap his forehead in frustration.
"damn it!"
it's good now.
The score was evened.
Barcelona's margin for error is even lower.
But this person still needs to be replaced.
If there is one less central defender, it is not enough for other players to fill the position.
So Puyol was quickly on the sidelines.
He will come on as a substitute for Villa.
Villa dilly-dallyed when he came off the pitch, seemingly unwillingly, but in fact he was wasting time.
for Barcelona.
They wished the game was over now.
The one-to-one score gives them a certain advantage when returning to Camp Nou.
to boos in the Rose Garden.
Barcelona completed the substitutions.
in the next game.
Barcelona, with one less player, did not retreat to set up the bus.
Instead, they struggled with Málaga in the midfield. When they had the ball, they controlled the ball as much as possible to attract Málaga players to come up and press them. Then they played the ball behind them, allowing Messi and Sanchez to harass Málaga's defense. .
Both sides can be regarded as attacking and defending each other.
Barcelona managed to maintain the tie until the end of the first half.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
At the beginning, Barcelona could continue to struggle with Malaga.
But as the game goes by, the physical fitness of both sides is exhausted.
Barcelona's disadvantage of playing one less player began to show.
If you are missing one player, it means that the other players have to run more and the physical exertion will be greater.
With one less player to play, Barcelona's control declined, and the game began to be more controlled by Malaga.
Malaga deliberately speeded up the tempo, and the offense and defense conducted at a high tempo consumed even more physical energy.
Thus.
It was even more intense against Barcelona, which had one less player to play.
Guardiola certainly knows what Pellegrini is planning: he wants to use fast-paced offense and defense to play fast rhythm and speed to wear down Barcelona's physical fitness. Once Barcelona's physical fitness collapses, the final moments of the game will be the time to reap the rewards. .
Guardiola has also been prepared for this.
He waved his hand.
Barcelona players no longer push past half-court to press.
Instead, he shrank into his own half and continued to struggle with Malaga.
The running range is not so large, and the physical energy consumption is not so intense.
for Barcelona.
With a score of one to one, if they had not been sent off, they would naturally not be too satisfied.
But now they have one less player to fight.
If we can maintain this score until the end.
That's a big advantage for Barcelona.
Therefore, it is normal for Barcelona's game ideas to tend to be conservative.
Malaga will not be satisfied with this one-to-one draw.
It would be a pity if Barcelona were tied with one more player, and it would also be a major blow to the team's morale.
They stepped up their offense tit for tat.
As Barcelona players gradually develop a physical crisis.
Especially the frontcourt player Sanchez, this game can be regarded as exhausting him.
He keeps running in the midfield and frontcourt, and sometimes sprints and runs back.
Because Barcelona can't let Messi do these things, Messi has to conserve his physical fitness and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, so Sanchez has to run more.
The Chile forward was so tired that he stuck out his tongue and gasped for breath.
In the 73rd minute of the game.
He was replaced by Thiago Alcantara, a midfielder from Barcelona's youth academy.
Thiago is a versatile midfielder who can attack and defend well.
So this substitution means that Barcelona will keep the tie!
Malaga replaced veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Replaced by Baptista.
Continue to attack Barcelona's defense.
Barcelona, which shrunk their defense, showed their defensive ability.
In fact, these top players are not unable to defend. After all, football is essentially a game of how to use space.
How to evaluate a player's golf IQ?
The first criterion is actually the same as real estate.
Location, location, location!
Barcelona's players are positioned very reasonably, which determines that their ability is not bad even when they shrink their defense.
And with Fabregas coming on the scene in the 83rd minute of the game, Messi was replaced.
Barcelona completely shrank back to defend, not even wanting to counterattack.
Originally Pellegrini thought Barcelona would do this early.
But I didn't expect it.
They didn't do it until the 83rd minute of the game - this is indeed a well-coached super team.
If it ends with this score.
Then Barcelona must have left the Rose Garden with a smile.
It’s the final moment of the game.
Malaga also adopted the tactics used by all teams that need to score at the last moment: long passes and crosses from the wing.
Hit the high ball! !
By this time.
You can only pass the ball into the opponent's penalty area as much as possible.
The quantity of offense was exchanged for quality.
It turns out.
The desperate approach of using high-altitude balls at the last moment can still stand the test.
The 88th minute of the game.
Tularang hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Ye Luo jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball to the left rib of the penalty area.
Joaquin, who came forward, pushed the ball towards the ball!
The football hit Thiago's thigh and caused refraction.
This reflection made Valdez, who had already made a save, just watch the ball and sigh.
With this goal, Malaga narrowly defeated Barcelona 2-1 at home.
At the end of the full-time whistle.
Everyone could see Pellegrini walking into the tunnel with a black face.
Malaga's players didn't look too good either.
They left the field in a hurry.
The opponent has one less player to play and is playing at home.
But they only relied on a lucky reflex in the 88th minute to overtake the score.
Two to one.
Although he won.
But it really doesn't make Malaga's players and coaches happy.
But they forgot that their opponent was Barcelona! What kind of team is Malaga? They beat Barcelona and are still so unhappy.
Of course Guardiola was not happy either.
Anyway.
If you lose, you lose.
And Mascherano will be suspended for the next game.
Now he can only hope that Puyol can gain some momentum and try not to get injured - as he gets older, injuries are commonplace for Puyol.
Anyway.
Neither side was happy with the outcome.
This way.
A week later, the second round of the match between the two sides became particularly important.
This is like a final!
Media all over the world, as long as they pay attention to the confrontation between these two teams, they will consider this game at Camp Nou to be the key among the keys.
Barcelona has the home advantage, but looking at this score and Yelo's state, you know that the suspense of who will win this game is still very, very high.
Yello scored a hat-trick at the Allianz Arena and a big four at San Siro.
It’s not surprising to score a few goals at Camp Nou.
Everyone knows it.
Malaga can reach this point entirely due to Yello's performance.
Yello's state is a barometer of Malaga's strength.
Ye Luo is in good condition.
Malaga is the invincible team.
Yelo's condition has fluctuated, and Malaga's strength has also dropped to the level of ordinary La Liga teams, which cannot be compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
so.
As long as there is no problem with Ye Luo's condition.
No one dares to say that Barcelona can eliminate Malaga at their home court.
The chatter about the match between Malaga and Barcelona started to die down a day later.
Because of this day.
Another big game is about to take place.
Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich at home.
In terms of influence.
Both teams are very big.
Although everyone in the Dragon Kingdom pays attention to Malaga and Yeluo.
But let’s talk about the influence and attention in the world.
The game between Real Madrid and Bayern at home attracts more attention than the game between Malaga and Barcelona.
Galacticos take on the Bundesliga giants.
A showdown between super wealthy families.
The vast majority of neutral fans will pay attention.
Even Ye Luo will pay attention to this game.
So before the game, he also turned on the TV and sat on the sofa to watch the game - after all, this was about who the opponent would be in the finals.
result
This game is exactly the same as Malaga's home game against Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid leads Bayern 2-1 at home.
Ronaldo scored twice.
Thomas Muller helped Bayern pull one back.
Robben lost a single.
Real Madrid center back Pepe accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card.
There were also many scenes worthy of media discussion during the competition.
And after this game
The team is about to usher in another important game.
Malaga vs. Real Madrid at home! !
And just two days before the game.
The day after the Champions League game.
The media in Madrid suddenly broke the big news.
AS reported on the front page: "According to information obtained from within Real Madrid, Malaga player Isco will transfer to Real Madrid after the end of the season for a transfer fee of up to 50 million euros, including 40 million euros. A fixed transfer fee and a floating fee of 10 million euros."
"Malaga is very likely to be banned from the European competition next season, and many players in its team will seek transfers to leave. The transfer negotiations between Real Madrid and Malaga regarding Isco actually started in the winter window."
After [Aspen Newspaper] reported.
[Marca], [Madrid News] and other media began to follow up.
In fact, the media broke the news about Isco's transfer to Real Madrid in the winter window.
Many fans know that after the end of the season, it is not surprising for players such as Isco and Yello to leave Malaga.
The Madrid media chose this time to break the news.
The purpose is, of course, to establish a greater advantage for Real Madrid in this Tianwangshan Station!
really.
At the training base in Malaga.
Many Malaga fans gathered at the entrance of the base holding banners to persuade Isco to stay.
There are also reporters squatting at the door to guard Malaga players and coaches.
Before the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.
These news will inevitably affect Malaga's preparations for the game.
In response, Pellegrini went into press silence.
Start closed training.
As for Isco's move to Real Madrid.
Isco also explained to his teammates in the locker room.
His agent is indeed talking to Real Madrid about a transfer.
But it's still far from a solid quotation or anything like that.
Therefore, this is a battle of public opinion among the media in Madrid.
its purpose.
Just to disrupt Malaga's preparations for war.
That's part of the championship - the game, not just those 90 minutes.
Mourinho even launched his skill before the game: the master of verbal warfare.
He publicly criticized the La Liga schedule: "We just played a game against Bayern Munich. We have one less day to prepare for the game than Malaga, and then we have to rush to Malaga non-stop. We still have time to prepare for the game. During the two days of rest, the team didn't get any rest at all and was very tired. Malaga played one day earlier than us, and they were also playing at their home court. I don't understand how such a bad schedule was managed. Why can't this game be postponed by one day? Can't the league arrange the schedule flexibly and make adjustments for special circumstances?"
Honestly.
Mourinho's complaints are valid.
Because their game against Bayern Munich is one day later than Malaga's game against Barcelona.
At the same time, they are also playing away from home in this game.
Therefore, Real Madrid suffers a bit in terms of schedule.
But this has nothing to do with Malaga, because the schedule was decided before the start of the league.
At that time, who would have thought that Málaga could reach the Champions League semi-finals, and who would have thought that this game would actually be a battle for the top spot in the league?
Pellegrini responded: "A dense schedule? We only had two days of rest in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Why didn't Mourinho give us a break at that time? Oh, yes, at that time Real Madrid's game is on Sunday, so they have one and a half days more rest than us."
It’s not just the coaches on either side.
Players are also competing.
Real Madrid center back Ramos said in an interview that Real Madrid has an advantage: "We are two points ahead and we have a psychological advantage. Even if we draw this game, it will be considered a victory."
Regarding Ramos' remarks.
Ye Luo responded like this.
He asked the reporter with a surprised look on his face: "A draw is a victory? Do you know that in our Dragon Kingdom, this sentence symbolizes a curse."
"curse?"
The Spanish reporters looked at each other.
The reporter from Long Kingdom was suppressing laughter.
"Yeah, curse. Generally speaking, if you draw, you will qualify. A draw is when you win. Most of the games will be lost!"
Spanish journalists were confused.
The Long Kingdom reporters actually laughed.
In the history of Dragon Country football.
There are too many examples of "a draw would mean XXX", but then the results backfired.
Therefore, "a draw means qualifying" is a curse of Longguo football.
There are also media in Madrid asking about Isco.
Yelo, as captain, answered this question head-on: "Where Isco goes is his freedom, and this is a matter for next season. We are all professional players and we must go all out on the court. If you think If Isco wants to move to Real Madrid, he will be merciful on the court. Then you are totally wrong. You are questioning the professionalism of the players!"
Reporters in Madrid also know that it is difficult to make a team's morale rise based on transfer rumors.
unless.
It was Ye Luo who was the subject of transfer rumors.
So a reporter asked: "Will you transfer to Real Madrid one day?"
Ye Luo smiled when he heard this: "Is it appropriate for you to ask this question before the game? Are you a reporter from Madrid?"
"Well, I'm a reporter from [Madrid News]."
"Well, how do you want me to answer? I have two answers. One is no comment. We in the Dragon Kingdom have a saying that it is best to make a fortune silently. It is best not to say anything. If you insist on asking, Then I will give you a clear answer, I will not transfer to Real Madrid, not now and not in the future. Which answer do you like?"
Ye Luo counterattacked an army.
The Madrid reporter was left speechless.
If he continues to press.
Wouldn't that completely make the relationship between Yello and Real Madrid impossible?
They didn't say anything when they saw each other.
Ye Luocai turned around and walked into the training base.
The Long Kingdom reporters couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"You really have the air of a general."
"He's getting more mature!"
"I'm looking forward to this game even more"
the reporters discussed.
Game day.
The Rose Garden was packed.
This game is a major test for both Malaga and Real Madrid.
Because they had just experienced the exhaustion of a Champions League semi-final match, and three days after this match, both teams were going to play the second leg of the semi-final away from home.
Even the two teams faced the same situation in the Champions League: although they won in the first round, their advantage was not big.
so.
Face this game.
The two teams made different choices.
Malaga, the main force came out.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, has made a certain degree of rotation.
The different choices of the two teams are also made based on the basic situations of the two teams.
The reason for Malaga's side is that they don't dare to rotate: if they send most of their substitute players to play, it will basically be equivalent to surrendering.
But this is the final!
The battle of Tianwangshan is related to the ownership of the league championship!
If they lose to Real Madrid at home, the points will be extended to five points, and Real Madrid will basically have no strong teams in the upcoming schedule.
If Malaga wants to win the championship, they can only count on Real Madrid to capsize in the gutter.
It is impossible for them to pin their fate on Real Madrid's overturning while they can still work hard to control their own fate.
Therefore, in this game, even if the time is tight and the tasks are heavy, we must grit our teeth and endure.
As for Real Madrid.
They have the capital to rotate.
On the forward line, Higuain and Callejon replaced Benzema and Di Maria in the starting lineup.
Midfield.
Shaheen replaced Bad Beggar in the starting lineup.
Defender line.
Coentrao and Varane replaced Marcelo and Pepe.
Compared to the last start against Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid made a full rotation of five players.
But even so.
The abilities of these players who have been rotated in are also top-notch and first-rate.
This is the difference between Real Madrid and Malaga.
