There are two giants in La Liga. They almost monopolize the league championship. Even if you look at the whole of Europe, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also the top giants.
La Liga can be said to be the root of the two giants. For the league championship, sparks fly every time the two giants collide.
Malaga has suddenly emerged this season and has become a strong contender for the La Liga championship.
If Real Madrid, which is trailing in points, wants to compete for the championship, the best way is to win against Malaga and Barcelona.
The outcome of a direct duel is not simply three points, it can even be said to be six points.
Mundo Deportivo, known as Barcelona's "mouthpiece", analyzed: "People have been talking about the match between Malaga and Real Madrid recently, thinking that this is a peak showdown.
But in terms of points, there is a full nine points difference between Real Madrid and Malaga, and a ten point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona!
So what if Real Madrid wins?
It can only narrow the point difference with Malaga. As long as Barcelona wins this round, Real Madrid will still be ten points behind Barcelona.
With victory, Barcelona can widen the gap between them and Malaga.
There is only one result for Real Madrid's victory, which is to help Barcelona expand their lead.
Does Real Madrid want Barcelona to win the title?
The answer is of course no.
Therefore, Real Madrid does not have a strong desire to defeat Malaga in this game.
We can't deny that Real Madrid have the will to win because they are Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is contradictory. Wearing a silver jersey, they hope to defeat any opponent on the field, but when they have no hope of winning, they also don't want Barcelona to win.
Based on the above analysis, this newspaper believes that a draw is the most likely outcome for this game.
This way we can save Real Madrid's face and prevent Barcelona from extending their advantage too much."
This article made Mourinho furious. In an interview with a reporter from Aspen, he said: "Some media analysis is a piece of shit!
We don’t want Barcelona to win the championship?
Of course, we don't want Barcelona to win the championship, but what we have to do is to win Barcelona down with our own hands instead of relying on other people's hands.
Malaga are performing very strongly this season and they have threatened Barcelona's status, so the Catalan media started talking nonsense.
Those media hope that we will have a bloody battle with Malaga, and it is best to let a few key players lie in the hospital so that they can reap the benefits.
Because after Malaga finishes playing with us, it will soon play against Barcelona.
They are afraid of losing to Malaga and giving up the top spot!
I declare here that we will strive for victory with all our strength, not for others, but for ourselves.
The season is not even halfway through, and now some people are saying that Real Madrid has no chance of competing for the championship.
I tell these people that Real Madrid has only one goal every season - to compete for the championship!
Real Madrid has only one goal when playing against anyone - to defeat the opponent!"
As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, Marca counterattacked against Mundo Deportivo: "Barcelona's mentality is wrong. Li is closely chasing Messi to rank second in the scorer list, which makes many Catalan media very nervous.
They are afraid that Li will catch up with or surpass Messi in the scorer list."
The media in Madrid and Catalonia started a war of words.
…
Malaga internally ignored the war of words between the two regional media and prepared seriously for the game against Real Madrid.
"It's been a tough fight!"
Pellegrini set the tone for this game.
"Although the media often talks nonsense, some of what they say still makes sense. This game is indeed related to whether we still have a chance to catch up with Barcelona and whether we still have a chance to compete for this year's championship!"
Chilean engineers analyzed the situation currently facing Malaga for the team members.
"We have two most important games recently, one is the upcoming game against Real Madrid.
The other one is the match against Barcelona right away.
If we can win these two games, we can win the half-distance championship.
From the analysis of historical data, the probability of the half-time champion eventually winning the league championship is more than 90%!
So, these two games are extremely important."
In order to win the match against Real Madrid, Pellegrini brought together the leaders of the local gang and the South American gang.
"We must unite!"
The Chilean engineer said with rare seriousness: "I only ask you one question, do you want to win the La Liga championship?"
If you don't want to, you can leave now!
If you want to, then you must listen to me!"
The leaders of the two groups exchanged glances and nodded to Pellegrini.
Just kidding, who doesn’t want to compete for the league title?!
Pellegrini breathed a sigh of relief: "There will be conflicts in any team. This is normal, but the difference between strong teams and weak teams is that when facing major games, strong teams will choose to compromise with each other and unite.
stand up.
I know about the conflict between you, but in fact, what’s the point? Wasn’t there already a fight?
Who doesn’t fight in a man’s life?
Once the fight is over, it's over. If you're not convinced, I'll preside over it and you can fight again.
Is that okay?”
this……
This is about to take strong medicine.
Saviola was the first to express his position: "Coach, forget about fighting. It will hurt the harmony. We will convey your opinions to them after we get down."
Joaquin nodded: "I think there should be no problem. Whoever is not united in the face of the overall situation is the enemy of the whole team!"
Pellegrini looked at them: "You are men, real men, and I hope you will do what you say!"
After convening a meeting with the leaders of the two groups, Pellegrini continued to be busy, constantly talking to the team members individually.
"Itura, I brought you here from Chile because I wanted you to have a good future in Malaga. But look, what did you do after you came?
Provoke, fight, fight, cause the whole team to fight.
I heard that you were provocative again a few days ago, saying that Li's original technology was just that, and you were imitating it.
What was the result?
Did you succeed?"
Pellegrini knew that the fellow Chilean in front of him was the source of the team's disunity.
"Please be quiet these days. Although I don't ask you to resolve your feud with Li Bing, you can't stir up trouble anymore!"
The blushing Itura had almost no chance to argue or refute, and Pellegrini asked him to leave after finishing speaking.
Itura knows why the coach treats him this way, because someone has now become the guarantee for the team's victory.
He looked at the sky sadly.
…
"Li, what do you think of the Real Madrid game?"
Pellegrini poured Li Chuanqi a glass of purified water.
Li Chuanqi had a very good impression of him, and under his guidance, his ability to play has skyrocketed.
Holding the cup, Li Chuanqi recalled the scene when the two met for the first time.
At that time, Pellegrini neither poured him water nor even stood up.
Only a few months have passed, and earth-shaking changes have already occurred.
Joaquin was indeed right. This world is about strength after all. If you are strong, you will be respected by others.
