The Real Madrid bus slowly drove towards the Rose Garden Stadium.
Wait until the bus stops.
The first person to walk out of the door was Real Madrid coach Mourinho.
Facing the camera and microphone, Mourinho showed his trademark enigmatic smile and walked into the stadium.
behind him.
Real Madrid's players also looked quite relaxed.
In fact, no matter how you look at this game, Real Madrid has the advantage - after Malaga and Barcelona engaged in a war of attrition, they didn't even dare to rotate in this game, and Real Madrid had five players to rotate. .
By the end of the season.
It’s all about physical fitness!
Cristiano Ronaldo smiles and always looks confident.
"Ronaldo, Yello has now scored 39 league goals, but you have only scored 31 goals. What do you think of this?"
A reporter asked loudly.
Cristiano Ronaldo froze, looking at the provocative reporter, his face became gloomy.
When he entered the locker room.
All Real Madrid players feel the wrath of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mourinho walked in.
"Beating them head-on is the best way to win!"
he said.
Cristiano Ronaldo raised his head: "I will defeat them1"
"very good!"
Mourinho smiled.
Although a little incredible.
But he also has to admit that Malaga is indeed a championship team this season.
this game.
Indeed, it is a final!
But what Mourinho is best at is playing key battles!
When players from both sides came out to warm up.
Longguo National TV Sports Channel has already started live broadcast.
The current time is 0:30 a.m. BJ time.
There is still one hour left before the game starts.
It stands to reason.
The advertising fees of Longguo National TV Station are so expensive. Generally speaking, few games have this kind of treatment - the live broadcast starts one hour before the game, and then some guests and experts start talking nonsense.
After all, not many people like to watch this.
But the ratings backstage are realistic. There are indeed many fans who are turning on the TV to watch the warm-up one hour before the game.
What is at stake in this battle at Tianwang Mountain is whether Malaga can win the championship. Although winning this game may not necessarily mean that Malaga can win the championship, but at least the initiative to win the championship is in the hands of Málaga. In his own hands.
And if you lose this game.
Then there is a high probability that Malaga will miss the championship - Mourinho's team cannot capsize in the gutter when facing weak teams in the last few rounds of the league, giving Malaga a chance to catch up.
not to mention.
Even if one game capsizes in the gutter, it's not enough.
If Malaga loses the game, it will be five points behind Real Madrid!
The five-point difference will take at least two games to catch up - Real Madrid needs to lose two of the remaining five games and Málaga win all to catch up.
This is almost impossible.
Therefore, there is no retreat for Malaga.
Not even a draw - a draw still leads Real Madrid.
Therefore, in this game, even if the game time is not friendly to the audience in Dragon Kingdom, there are still a large number of spectators in Dragon Kingdom cheering for Ye Luo in front of various screens.
In fact, starting at 1:30 in the morning, La Liga has already taken care of the audience in the Dragon Country - many La Liga games only start at 3:30 in the morning, or even 5 in the morning - 5 in the morning is not bad, it is better to sleep early Getting up to watch the game, and then going to work/school after watching it, it’s almost 3:30 in the morning. It’s almost like staying up late just to watch a game. '
Talk about it.
Real Madrid has lost three games in a row against Malaga - if they lose this game, it will be their fourth game in a row.
So although the Madrid media was hyping up last time that "no team has ever sent Real Madrid to three consecutive defeats", it was slapped in the face.
But this time, many Madrid media still analyzed from a metaphysical perspective. Real Madrid should not lose four consecutive games, right?
In the home team's locker room.
When the players return from warm-up, the windows and doors are closed.
The hustle and bustle of the stadium seemed to be cut off, except for some sounds that seemed to come from far away.
Malaga head coach Pellegrini is doing his final pre-match mobilization.
"There are still fifteen minutes left and the game is about to start. There is no need to say more about the importance of this game. Everyone knows it. I will not deceive myself and say that this is an ordinary league or something. This is a game related to The key battle for the league championship! If we lose or even draw this game, the championship is very far away from us! That we can reach this point this season is beyond the expectations of many people, and to be honest, it is also beyond my expectations As expected, this is La Liga, and Malaga used to be just a lift in Spanish professional football, La Liga, La Liga, and even La Liga B. We are just little people, and we are facing a giant team, but we have already Beat them three times in a row."
Pellegrini held out three fingers.
"three times!"
he said.
"So, it is not us who should be afraid, but them! They have lost three consecutive games to us, and the other two games were at their home court! Doesn't this mean something?"
"We are now only one step away from the championship! As long as we grit our teeth and fight for this last period of the schedule, we can create history for this team and create unprecedented glory!!"
"The thing now is very simple, beat them! Only then will we have the possibility of winning the championship!! Use these 90 minutes to prove to everyone that we are not runners in the league, not some daring little team that covets the La Liga championship. , we are the champions! We have the strength of champions!!”
Pellegrini's speech has obviously been prepared for a long time.
The manuscript is memorized very well.
It stirred up the excitement of all the players, squealing their feet, like wild horses about to escape the reins, ready to trample the enemies in front of them to the ground with thousands of feet.
at the same time.
In the Real Madrid dressing room.
It is different from being confident externally.
Mourinho's face was solemn.
"I know that the comments in the media these days are very optimistic about us. Yes, we are two points ahead, and we are four points ahead of Barcelona. Even if we tie, we are still top of the list. It is really good. It seems that there is no need to worry. "
Mourinho looked at his players.
"Really? Tell me, are these remarks correct?"
No one answered.
"It seems that no one thinks these remarks are right, which is good. Forget these things, forget the two-point lead, forget the draw. I tell you, in the arena, there is only victory, or defeat, there are only two options! If If you can't win, you will lose! If you face this game with the mentality of a draw, you will definitely lose! Remember! Our goal is only one. That is to defeat them at their home court!! "
Real Madrid players were also excited.
Real Madrid has not won the La Liga title in three seasons.
these three seasons.
these three years.
Real Madrid were overwhelmed by Barcelona.
In the past three years, Barcelona has won two Champions League titles, three consecutive league titles, and became an unprecedented six crowns!
These three years have been Barcelona's era.
Mourinho took over Real Madrid to break Barcelona's dominance!
Now it seems that he has done well. At least in the past two seasons, Real Madrid has not been inferior to Barcelona. This season, Real Madrid also defeated Barcelona at home, leading Barcelona by four points!
Although a Malaga suddenly appeared this season - this was an unexpected surprise.
But just beat Malaga in this game.
This accident made no waves.
Defeating Malaga is basically equivalent to winning the La Liga championship!
this game.
Real Madrid players must go all out!
When players from both teams appeared on the court.
The televised footage gave close-ups of nearly every key player.
In the end, the camera stayed on Ye Luo and Ronaldo for the longest time.
The top star of both teams, a superstar, and the top scorer with explosive scoring ability, is also very likely to become the master of this game.
"Players from both sides are already standing on the court! The game is about to begin!"
Duan Xuan's voice sounded a little excited.
In the commentary booth, Andres also took a deep breath: "The game is about to begin. This is a key battle for the La Liga championship. This may even be a preview of the Champions League final!"
Andres made a little joke, seemingly trying to reduce the tension of the game.
However, his words soon made him a hot topic on the Spanish Internet by Barcelona fans.
After all, the Champions League semi-finals are not over yet.
"The importance of this game is self-evident. On Málaga's side, Cazorla started the game after his comeback, while on Real Madrid's side, although they have rotated, their rotation players are also top-notch players, and their strength cannot be overemphasized. And Yu, on the bench, Real Madrid is also full of elite soldiers! From the perspective of book strength, Real Madrid has the upper hand, but football games are not chess games. The performance of the players on the field is the most important! ! Of course, what’s more important is that Malaga has Yello! This is their greatest confidence!”
Duan Xuan said loudly.
The words just fell.
The referee blew the whistle to start the game.
The first to kick off was Malaga.
Baptista kicked the ball into the backcourt.
Cazorla, who was back from injury, received the ball and then passed it forward.
This passing choice indicates the mentality of both sides in this game.
cautious!
Neither side dared to act too rashly.
The battle of Tianwangshan that people are looking forward to should be extremely hot and lively, with a fast offensive and defensive rhythm, and fierce offensive and defensive battles between players from both sides.
But it's a pity.
This only exists in people's imagination.
Actually.
Both Malaga and Real Madrid played very cautiously in the opening stage.
If there is no good chance, he would rather pass back.
This is normal, the final is an unknown game.
In such an important game, no one wants to make mistakes, so being conservative and cautious is a normal choice.
Both sides chose to deal with and test.
The game has passed seven or eight minutes.
Neither team even had a shot on goal.
This shows how cautious both teams are.
And it also fully shows that these two teams are actually very mature.
There is a lot of excitement in the locker room, but you can calm down immediately on the court.
In football, it's not okay to be hot-headed.
Excited emotions can win you a game or two.
But the league is a marathon.
Winning by playing chicken blood lasts too short.
Both Real Madrid and Malaga have achieved nine consecutive victories this season.
Being able to win nine games in a row is not something that can be sustained by just trying hard.
What is needed is a mature system and a mature mentality.
A team that can compete for the championship in the league must be a team with a stable mentality - this may be the so-called championship mentality.
A championship team must not only be superior in technique and tactics, but also be superior in psychological adjustment.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who is relatively easy to fall for.
But now he can hold back from shooting for seven or eight minutes and patiently intersperse and move.
Ten minutes of the game.
The competition scene finally started to have some waves!
After receiving the ball in the frontcourt, Shaheen passed the ball through the ball to the left rib of the penalty area.
Shaheen moved to Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund this season.
As the core player of Dortmund's frontcourt, Shaheen undoubtedly has strong personal abilities.
But after coming to Real Madrid, Shaheen was a little acclimated.
He didn't get many chances.
He was able to get the chance to start in this crucial battle entirely because Kaká was injured. Bad Beggar had some tight calf muscles and was now sitting on the bench.
Shaheen, who got the chance to start, naturally worked very hard and wanted to impress Mourinho.
There are already rumors that Shaheen will be sold by Real Madrid once the transfer of Isco to Real Madrid is completed.
He came to Real Madrid from Dortmund regardless of everything.
Being sold after one season hit Shaheen's self-esteem hundreds of times.
For Shaheen, there was not much time left for him.
He was convinced.
Once he fails to show the ability to satisfy Mourinho, a bad beggar will take his place in the second half.
This through ball reflects Shaheen's ability to deliver threatening balls!
The football passed through the crowd and accurately hit the fleeting space in the ribs of the penalty area.
And right now.
A white figure rushed into the restricted area!
"Cristiano Ronaldo!! He caught the ball in the ribs of the penalty area!!"
exclaims the narrator, Andres.
In the stands.
Real Madrid fans immediately cheered, but the next moment they were booed by Malaga fans.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who entered the penalty area, made a direct shot with his left foot. After Demichelis made a blocking action, he then spiked the ball to his right with his heel, cut to the middle, and raised his foot to shoot. ! !
crucial moment.
Turalang was almost desperate, leaping forward and blocking Ronaldo's explosive shot from the bottom line with his head!
"Ahhhhhhh!!! Ronaldo!! Ronaldo!! Ah..." In the commentary box, the Madrid commentator held his head in his hands and almost jumped up from the commentary box.
"Cristiano Ronaldo!! Almost!! Tularang's defense is so critical!! Real Madrid took the lead!!!" Andres exclaimed.
Duan Xuan was almost broken into a cold sweat by the ball.
"It's dangerous! Real Madrid suddenly exerted force, and Malaga's defense was unprepared, giving Ronaldo a chance. Fortunately, Tulalang came back to block and resolve the crisis!!"
Ronaldo was almost beating his chest while standing in the penalty area.
He roared angrily and stared fiercely at Malaga's goal, vowing in his heart to send the ball into this damn gate.
And his shot also opened the key to the next stage of the game.
The trial phase is over!
The game is starting to get on track!
Cristiano Ronaldo just threatened Malaga's goal with a blast.
Looking back, Malaga must fight back!
Yello received the ball on the left wing, cut inside and shot, causing Real Madrid's defensive players to rush over to block it. In the process, Real Madrid's defense also had a loophole, and Yello faked a shot and passed the ball. , sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area!
Isco came in at high speed, received the ball on the left side of the penalty area and directly dribbled the ball inside!
"Isco!!"
the commentators chanted.
Another highlight of this game is Isco.
He will most likely be a Real Madrid player next season. If he personally takes away Real Madrid's hope of winning the La Liga title, it will be great to see him arrive at Real Madrid next season.
How will he face his new teammates?
Isco won't think about this now.
He slowed down when facing Coentrao's defense, and then immediately looked at Yelo's position.
Pass the ball to Yeluo immediately.
This is the first choice for many Málaga players.
At this time, he did see Ye Luo inserting himself into the penalty area.
It stands to reason.
He can just give the ball to Yello now.
Although there is a dragon and a tiger's den in front of Ye Luo, Ye Luo can create a threat as long as he gets the ball in the penalty area.
However, Isco has his own ideas. If he passes the ball now, the probability of scoring is low.
After he made a fake pass, Xu Huang turned around and attacked Coentrao!
Coentrao was shaken for a moment, but he reacted quickly, turned around immediately, and gave chase!
Anyway, Isco's absolute speed is not very fast, and there is not much space in front of him.
The further Isco takes the ball towards the baseline, the smaller the chance.
Coentrao quickly chased back and put enough pressure on Isco.
Facing Coentrao's defense, Isco stopped suddenly, changed direction, and got rid of it!
Another change of direction allowed him to break away from Coentrao's defense. However, just when everyone thought Isco was about to shoot, he suddenly stopped, with one foot hanging in the air and the other foot constantly shooting. Jumping forward with a pained expression, he finally sat on the ground.
Coentrao was stunned. He subconsciously held the ball and launched a counterattack.
Ye Luo slid in and shoveled the ball out of the sideline, then hurriedly got up and shouted to the referee.
"Our men are injured!"
He hurriedly ran to Isco.
"What's wrong?"
Isco looked pained.
"It seems like a muscle strain."
"Cao!"
Ye Luo cursed in a low voice.
This is too bad luck.
If you strain a muscle in such a crucial battle, you won't be able to persist.
Malaga not only lacked a main player, but also had to waste a substitution spot.
He also knows why Isco was injured.
He must have been influenced by public opinion.
He wants to prove his professionalism through his performance.
But I can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Media reports still have an impact on Malaga.
The team doctor came up quickly and after an examination he said: "I'm sorry, Isco, you can't play this game."
The team doctor made a substitution gesture towards the court.
"Damn it!"
After Pellegrini saw it, he couldn't help but cursed.
However, he still asked assistant coach Maroska to inform substitute player Bonotna to warm up.
