Chapter 176: Mourinho: Tonight we have only one goal - to win!
At 6:30 in the afternoon, night fell in Malaga, and the Rose Garden Stadium was bustling with activity.
Malaga fans gathered their friends and rushed to the Rose Garden Stadium to cheer for their team.
In the recent confrontation between Malaga and Real Madrid, they suffered nine consecutive defeats.
This is a shameful record.
With the support of nine consecutive wins in La Liga, Malaga fans saw hope of defeating Real Madrid.
So they have to defeat Real Madrid tonight with their own team to end their losing streak.
"Bet the bet, bet the bet, the old rules, whoever loses pays the bill tonight!"
"I bet Lee will score tonight!"
"No, this is too easy! He has to score two for you to win!"
"Okay..."
"I bet on Santa Malaga to win!"
"No, you have to win at least two goals before you win!"
"I bet... Ronaldo can score a goal."
"Well... OK, it's also two goals. If Cristiano Ronaldo scores two goals, you win!"
"I bet on a big ball, there will be a big ball tonight!"
"Okay, five counts as a big ball! Does anyone else place a bet?"
A group of Malaga fans in their twenties gathered together and played a game.
This made the Real Madrid fans not far away from them very uncomfortable.
Damn, Lee scored two goals?
Can Malaga win by two goals?
"idiot!"
A red-haired Real Madrid fan sneered.
"We have lost nine games in a row and you are still talking nonsense here!"
His companion tried to persuade him angrily: "Isn't it okay for others to have a good time while the competition hasn't started yet?"
Their voices were loud and were heard by the group of young Malaga fans.
There was no tense situation. The group of Malaga fans smiled and said to them: "Yes, we are just having fun. Real Madrid is very strong, but it is only nine points behind Malaga now."
These words irritated the red-haired Real Madrid fans, and there was a fierce light in their eyes.
His companions grabbed him and said, this is not Madrid, this is Malaga.
…
At seven o'clock, the Malaga and Real Madrid buses drove into the Rose Garden Stadium.
The war is coming.
When we got off the bus, the reporters who had been waiting for us were like calling them.
Ronaldo, wearing headphones, ignored reporters' calls and followed his teammates to the locker room.
Mourinho, who has his own halo, accepted the interview: "I have said before that this is just an ordinary La Liga game. We did not think about off-field factors and we must try our best to win the game."
Malaga is much friendlier. Not only Pellegrini was interviewed, but also players such as Joaquín and Li Chuanqi were interviewed.
Pellegrini said: "I hope tonight can end the losing streak between the two teams!"
Joaquin said: "Nine consecutive losses is a shameful record. Tonight we will bottom out and win the game!"
Li Chuanqi said: "I played against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-finals last season, and those two games left a deep impression on me. Real Madrid and Barcelona are teams at the same level, and I am eager to play against strong teams.
Some people think that my data cannot explain anything. I also want to try to see if I can score goals when playing against strong teams.
Some people say that Real Madrid is a touchstone to test my quality.
I think this sentence makes sense, and tonight is the time to test my quality!"
…
While players from both sides were warming up, fans entered the field in an orderly manner.
At the end of the warm-up, the very popular Li Chuanqi was summoned by several young fans, hoping to sign an autograph for them.
Li Chuanqi took over their jerseys, hats, etc. and signed his name on them.
This made Li Xiaofeng, who was standing with Yaisa, heartbroken: "Yaiisa, how much less do you think we will make?"
Yaisa advised: "Your brother is a star now, there is nothing you can do about it.
Feng, we have made a lot of money recently, twenty thousand, Feng, I have never seen so much money!"
Li Xiaofeng's eyes were filled with smiles at the thought of making so much money.
"Yaisa, we should expand our business lines. Basically every classmate in our school has one of my brother's jerseys, and the signed notebooks can't be sold anymore.
We have to find a way to sell it to students from other schools!”
Yaisa shrugged and sighed: "We don't know anyone from other schools. We sell it ourselves. What if others think we are liars?"
Li Xiaofeng had an idea: "How about we recruit a few people into the team, that little fat guy Rodriguez, the one from the class next to us.
It is said that he has a wide social circle and knows many people from other schools!"
Yaisa thought of the little fat man, nodded and said, "Okay, I heard about it too."
She asked: "Then how can we give him a commission?"
Li Xiaofeng squinted like a little fox and said with a smile: "Commission? What commission? I promised him that if he does a good job, I will let my brother take a photo with him!"
When Yaisa heard this, her eyebrows flew up and she nodded like a chicken: "That's it! That's it!"
Li Chuanrui opened his mouth slightly and gave them a thumbs up.
It’s amazing, you know how to make money at a young age, and you know how to expand your business!
amazing!
Twenty thousand?
They actually earned 20,000 yuan, which is a year's salary for many people!
…
The home team's locker room was full of fighting spirit.
Playing against a strong team is every player's dream. Only defeating a strong team can prove your strength.
"The tactical arrangements have been discussed this afternoon. I will only emphasize a few key points here."
Pellegrini stood in front of the tactical board: "The attack mainly focuses on the two wings. After Li gets the ball, he has to cooperate with the center, and after passing the ball, he has to move forward!
Don't stick to the ball for Isco, pass the ball quickly when your teammates have a chance!
When defending, the midfielder and frontcourt must press the ball as soon as possible to prevent Real Madrid from making a quick counterattack.
We all know that for Real Madrid now, quick counterattack is their most important scoring method!
Therefore, whether we can guard against them tonight mainly depends on the frontcourt players’ immediate counterattack!”
The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was solemn.
Mourinho is lecturing: "Some people say that in order to prevent Barcelona from easily winning the championship, we will deliberately lose to Malaga!
That's fart!
It is our own business to depose Basara, when will we pin our hopes on others?
They think we have given up the fight for the La Liga title this year.
What I want to say is - No!
We haven't reached despair yet, the season is still very long, and we still have plenty of opportunities!
As long as we can continue to win, we will return to the championship ranks!
Therefore, defeating Malaga is very important to us, very important!
I won’t say more about this truth.”
The locker room was very quiet, no one spoke.
Ever since Casillas was benched by Mourinho, the atmosphere in the locker room has become dull.
The conflict between the two was because Casillas told his reporter girlfriend what happened in the locker room.
In fact, this was nothing.
But Casillas' journalist girlfriend told the media what happened in the Real Madrid locker room.
Mourinho was extremely angry. Since that incident, Casillas has never appeared in La Liga.
As the captain of the Spanish national team and Real Madrid, if something like this happened, the atmosphere in the Real Madrid locker room became dull.
"We only have one goal tonight - to win!"
Mourinho said in a deep voice: "I have said this ten thousand times, but some people seem to have forgotten this sentence and the ultimate goal of a football match!"
