!”
Malaga Economic News said: "Malaga has finally found its king!"
Pellegrini also received praise from the media. The Malaga Economic Daily said: "Malaga made a historic breakthrough last season and won fourth place in La Liga. The Chilean engineer Pellegrini was indispensable.
After the start of the new season, the Chilean engineer continued his outstanding work, leading the team to six consecutive wins in La Liga. After the defeat at the Calderon Stadium, he immediately used a big victory to help the team regain the feeling of winning.
Not only that, he also led the team to defeat the Greek powerhouse Panathinaikos, allowing Malaga to participate in the Champions League for the first time.
In the first match of the Champions League group, they defeated Russian Super League powerhouse Zenit St. Petersburg 3-0, making a good start for the Champions League.
Next, the Chilean engineer will lead the team to challenge the Belgian powerhouse Anderlecht at the Vandenstock Stadium.
This will be a huge challenge. As long as Malaga can win again, it will firmly grasp the initiative to qualify.
We hope that the team of Chilean Engineers can maintain its league status into the Champions League and give supporters another surprise!
There is no doubt that Malaga, under the leadership of Chilean engineers, is entering a golden age!
At the same time, we also hope that Chilean engineers will bring Li to Vandenstock Stadium and give him a chance to play.
Malaga supporters hope that the prince in their hearts will not only shine in La Liga, but also in the Champions League!
Come on, Málaga, you, like Spanish football, have ushered in a golden age!"
…
After the eighth round of La Liga, Malaga immediately entered the second round of the Champions League group stage.
Their opponent in this round is Anderlecht, the well-deserved overlord of Belgium!
Anderlecht is a famous Belgian football club founded in 1908. Its home stadium is located in Anderlecht, Brussels Capital District.
Won the league championship for the first time in 1947, and then became unstoppable and became the well-deserved overlord of Belgium.
In the 1970s, it dominated European football and was one of Belgium's most successful football teams, winning five European championships and 31 domestic league titles.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage this season, they went to the San Siro Stadium to challenge AC Milan, the group's biggest favorite.
After ninety minutes of fierce fighting, they withstood Milan's fierce attack at San Siro and shook hands with their opponent with a score of zero to zero.
Although the current Milan is no longer the Milan that once shone in Europe, the strength of the Italian giants is still the strongest in the group.
Being able to escape San Siro, the Belgian media believes that Anderlecht has the strength to defeat the other two teams in the group.
This round at home, they aim to score three points and lay a solid foundation for qualifying.
Anderlecht coach Vanden Brom is a Dutchman. When accepting the British football professional media, he said: "The last round of exit from San Siro gave us strong confidence.
We have the ability to beat any opponent at home, including Malaga.
We also know that Málaga has performed well this season, with seven wins and one loss in La Liga and a victory in the Champions League.
In the just-concluded La Liga season, they achieved a big victory at home.
But we are still confident that we can defeat them at Vandenstock Arena and win!"
When talking about his impression of Li Chuanqi, the Dutchman said: "I have noticed that the Spanish media often mentioned this young player recently. I also watched some videos of his games and knew that he just scored four goals in the last La Liga game.
.
This is a very unique player, with excellent speed and skills. What is even more rare is that he has a strong ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal.
We will develop defensive tactics against him."
Before leaving for Brussels, Pellegrini said cautiously in an interview with a reporter from Marca:
"Although Anderlecht's results in the Champions League have been average in recent years, they were able to draw with Milan in the last game at San Siro, which fully demonstrates that this is a team that cannot be underestimated.
Although our recent form is good, this is an away game and will be very difficult."
When talking about whether he would bring Li Chuanqi with him, he affirmed: "Li Chuanqi is in very good condition and I have no reason to keep him in Malaga.
Not only will I take him to Vandenstock Arena, but I will also let him play."
The Chileans began to relieve Li Chuanqi's pressure: "This is Li's first Champions League game. I hope everyone will not put too much pressure on him.
I hope he can perform normally in the game and not put too much pressure on himself.
I know that many people are optimistic about him now, and this is invisible pressure."
…
On the 23rd, Malaga and his party took a plane to Brussels.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed and Pellegrini led the team out of the airport.
As soon as they appeared, they were surrounded by reporters waiting for them.
Stars such as Pellegrini, Joaquin, Santa Cruz and Saviola were the targets of interviews by reporters.
A beautiful reporter couldn't beat those strong male reporters. When she was feeling sad and discouraged, she discovered the sunny and handsome Li Chuanqi.
Could it be him?
Surprised, she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are you Li?"
Li Chuanqi laughed and said: "There is only one Asian face here, of course I am."
After receiving a positive answer, the beautiful reporter almost screamed with excitement. She glanced around secretly and found that no one was coming, so she calmly asked: "We noticed that Marca was interviewing Mr. Pellegrini.
, he said he would let you play against Anderlecht.
Are you looking forward to this game?
Do you have a preset goal for this race?
For example, completing a goal, or assisting, etc."
Li Chuanqi nodded and replied: "Everyone will be full of expectations for their first time!"
The beautiful reporter didn't know what she thought of, her face suddenly turned red, and she appeared shy.
Li Chuanqi was embarrassed, beauty, where did you think you were?
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Li Chuanqi said seriously: "As for the preset goal... I hope to score. If I can score two, I will definitely not only score one goal!"
"Pfft!..."
The beautiful reporter suddenly laughed, covered her mouth and said: "Li, I'm not laughing at the goal you mentioned, but..."
Li Chuanqi looked helpless, "Beauty, this is a serious interview, okay? It's not an entertainment program. Your attitude is unacceptable..."
