Li Chuanqi returned to the locker room, and Joaquin and others congratulated him.
"Li, it's okay. I didn't expect you to be such a blockbuster!"
"Congratulations, congratulations! Damn it, you completed the hat trick in fifteen minutes. The media doesn't know how to praise you tomorrow!"
"That's incredible, Li, this is worthy of your talent and hard work!"
"Brother! Well done! This is a good start and the future is bright!"
Li Chuanqi said modestly: "I still have many shortcomings. I hope everyone can give me more help!"
These words made everyone feel very comfortable. The little guy was not bloated.
There were two completely different worlds in the locker room. The South American team was silent, as if Malaga had not won the game that had just ended.
Other players gathered around Li Chuanqi and chatted happily about the game, and some players drooled when they got excited.
Itura closed his eyes and cursed in his heart: Damn ****! Damn Chinese! Listen, "I still have a lot of shortcomings. I hope everyone can give me more help!"
Damn, what are these words?
Is this what people say?
…
The mixed interview area was bustling with activity, and tonight's game had twists and turns, ups and downs.
"When Mallorca lost 2-0, I thought the game was over, but who knew it was just the beginning!"
"Lee's talent is truly amazing!"
“What does ‘really amazing’ mean? It’s simply ‘astonishing’!”
"I saw England's legendary forward Gary Lineker once said on a program that Maradona played like Lee before a game, fifty times in a row.
Lineker and the others were stunned at the time.
They tried it afterward, but they could only kick it a dozen times in a row at most!"
"Well, I've watched that show too, it's true!"
"Li kicked more than seventy times tonight..."
"In terms of talent alone, Ronaldinho is not bad, but he quickly declined..."
"It's really a pity for Ronaldinho. Brazilian players are good at everything, but their self-discipline is too poor."
It is unreasonable to associate a La Liga rookie with Maradona and Ronaldinho, but the reporters present did not feel anything was wrong.
"Coming!! Coming!!"
A reporter suddenly shouted, and the group of reporters immediately stopped their discussion. Some smart foreign reporters immediately approached the Malaga reporter.
Malaga players appear in the mixed interview area.
"Li, here! Here!"
Many reporters waved to Li Chuanqi.
Li Chuanqi walked up to a reporter from the Malaga Evening News whom he was familiar with.
"Li, first of all, congratulations on your perfect debut in La Liga! How do you feel at this moment?"
Right, this is a normal interview.
Li Chuanqi couldn't hide his happiness and said with a smile: "Thank you to the fans for supporting me."
He joked: "If they hadn't called my name, I'm not sure I could have played tonight."
"I am very satisfied with myself for being able to complete my professional debut in this way. Of course, I am very aware that I still have many shortcomings and there are still many areas that need to be improved."
He then pointed out that he failed to handle several details during the game.
This surprised the reporters. They performed so perfectly and were so humble?
They suddenly remembered Li Chuanqi's Chinese identity. It is said that Chinese people are famous for being modest and low-key. It seems that this is true.
…
At the post-match press conference, the Mallorca coach was the first to appear.
"This is a regrettable night. We performed well for most of the game and even led 2-0 at one point. But when the young player came on, everything changed."
He said frustratedly: "Thank you for everything the players have done on the court! Thank you for their efforts. The season has just begun and we still have a lot to do."
During the question and answer session, a Malaga reporter asked: "Just now you said 'that young player', does that mean you didn't know about Li's existence before the game?"
The Mallorca coach nodded and replied: "I really don't know about this young player. Is he very famous? Last season, I remember Malaga didn't have this player, otherwise I wouldn't have had an impression."
The reporter who asked the question felt incredible. Didn't you pay attention to the King's Cup? You didn't know about the massive "Retain Li" campaign?
Then he explained to him: "This young player's name is Li Chuanqi. He represented Santa Malaga in the Copa del Rey last season and won the championship! And in May, Malaga launched a massive 'retain Li' operation.
A lot of media reported this."
The Mallorca coach suddenly realized: "Operation 'Keep Lee'... It turns out he is the one... Santa Malaga is a D-level team, right?"
After receiving a positive answer from the reporter, he nodded and said: "I know him. Has he come to Malaga?"
He immediately realized his stupidity: "If I had known that he was in Malaga, maybe the result tonight would have been different."
The Mallorca coach answered a few questions and then left.
Pellegrini then appeared.
“It was a great night and we got the result we wanted. In the unfavorable situation of being two goals behind, we didn’t give up and we showed sportsmanship!
The fans are also very good and they encourage us when the team needs them.
Of course, we still have problems with our defense, and we will summarize how we conceded these two goals.
I am quite satisfied with our offense and we will get better and better!
I admit that we have not entered the state yet, and the ability of the forwards to seize opportunities needs to be improved, but we can create so many shooting opportunities, which fully shows that our offense is still good!"
Pellegrini made no mention of Li Chuanqi and attributed the comeback to the efforts of the entire team.
This made the local Malaga reporter who likes Li Chuanqi very dissatisfied. A reporter from the Malaga Commercial Daily asked: "Mr. Pellegrini, if the fans at the scene hadn't shouted Li's name, wouldn't you have thought of replacing him?"
We noticed a detail. Before Li came on the field, your assistant said something in your ear.
Does this mean that replacing Li was not your own idea, or is it a requirement of the club?"
The atmosphere at the scene changed instantly, and Pellegrini's expression changed.
Damn it!
Damn reporters!
This is……
The Chilean engineer took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil and said in as calm a voice as possible: "He was replaced because he performed well in training.
We were in a disadvantageous situation at the time, and I thought substituting him might turn the situation around, so I subbed him on.
Let me emphasize again that Li is a young player and has never played in La Liga, so it is impossible to start him at the moment.
I don’t think any head coach would arrange it like this!
Li is a very young player. There is a process for training young players. We cannot rush for success.
We had plans to play him tonight.
The assistant just reminded me that I could substitute him in advance. His appearance has nothing to do with the pressure from the club. I am the head coach of this team!"
