Li Chuanqi knew that his shooting form was not good tonight, so he immediately made adjustments.
The ultimate goal of the game is to defeat the opponent. If you are not in good condition, why do you have to complete the shot yourself?
In the 37th minute of the first half, Li Chuanqi once again got the ball. This time he did not try to complete the shot himself.
When attracting the attention of the opponent's three defensive players, he suddenly made a breakthrough!
Teammates look for openings to respond.
In the blink of an eye, Li Chuanqi's feet were like two hands that were flashing rapidly, constantly pulling and turning the football!
Football is like a hound chasing its prey in the jungle, constantly avoiding the trees and grass in front of it...
After a fight, Li Chuanqi broke out from the encirclement of three people!
The Saint-Moise stadium was shocked and speechless.
Two other Mallorca players pounced.
Chance!
Li Chuanqi made a diagonal pass and the football flew towards Santa Cruz who was standing on the arc of the penalty area.
After passing the ball, Li Chuanqi immediately moved forward to distract the Mallorca defense.
What I didn't expect was that after Santa Cruz got the ball, he didn't knock back to Isco, who was following. Instead, he passed the ball diagonally and passed to Li Chuanqi again.
Li Chuanqi flew forward, controlled the football, and pressed his center of gravity forward, allowing the two defensive players who came over to focus on his forced breakthrough.
Santa Cruz is available!
Li Chuanqi quickly made a cross kick!
Santa Cruz raised his left foot and shot directly!
The football flew against the turf towards the lower left corner of the goal!
The angle of the ball was so tricky that the Mallorca goalkeeper could only watch the ball and sigh with excitement as he watched the ball roll into the net!!
The ball went in!
One to zero!
After scoring the goal, Santa Cruz immediately hugged Li Chuanqi.
Fellegrini waved his fists excitedly, this was the scene he most wanted to see.
He hopes that Li Chuanqi can not only create shooting opportunities for himself, but also hopes that Li Chuanqi can create shooting opportunities for his teammates when there is no shooting opportunity.
The Saint-Moise stadium was silent.
The Malaga TV commentator shouted excitedly: "Santa Cruz! He pushed the ball calmly in the penalty area and the ball went in!
Li handled the ball very reasonably. When facing two opposing defenders, he did not force a breakthrough, but transferred the football to the open feet of Santa Cruz!"
After the game restarted, Mallorca launched a crazy counterattack, and Malaga responded calmly, resisting the opponent's attacks again and again.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, Li Chuanqi relied on his strong foreboding to complete the steal in the hinterland.
Joaquín suddenly moved forward to the right side of the penalty area.
Li Chuanqi made a diagonal pass!
Joaquín, who was unmarked, guided the football to his right in the penalty area and pushed the ball!
The football penetrated the Mallorca goalkeeper's fingers and got into the net!
Two to zero!
Malaga entered the second half with a two-goal lead.
Only thirteen seconds into the game, Mallorca took advantage of the fact that Malaga's defensive players had not yet entered the state and played a wonderful fast break.
Israeli forward Hemed blasted a shot from outside the penalty area, and the football flew directly into the goal from the upper right corner of the goal!
Two to one!
The home fans were overjoyed and cheered loudly. They saw the hope of equalizing the score.
In the next game, Mallorca's morale was high and they launched a fierce attack on Malaga!
Malaga did not panic and dealt with the opponent patiently.
In the 23rd minute of the second half, Mallorca launched an attack from the right, and the full-back made a pass near the baseline.
When Demichelis was competing for a header with the opponent, the football hit his raised right arm!
"Beep!..."
The referee blew his whistle and pointed his right hand firmly at the penalty spot.
Mallorca midfielder Victor made it in one fell swoop!
Two to two!
Mallorca equalized the score!
The Saint-Moise stadium was filled with cheers.
When the game restarted, Malaga did not rush to launch an attack, but patiently dropped the ball in the midfield and backcourt to stabilize the team's mentality.
As time went by, Malaga gradually adjusted its mentality and launched an attack on Mallorca.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, Li Chuanqi made a pass from the left and Santa Cruz headed the ball over the crossbar!
Three minutes later, Malaga made a comeback. Joaquín launched an attack on the right. He made a simple cross pass with Isco in the center and went straight into the one-two, tearing apart the opponent's defense in one fell swoop.
After Joaquin regained the ball, he made a beautiful smash, got rid of the defending center back, and passed the ball in an inverted triangle. Isco followed up and shot!
The football flew towards the left side of the goal!
The Mallorca goalkeeper bravely blocked the football!
Li Chuanqi immediately followed up and prepared for a follow-up shot. He kept paying attention to his Mallorca right center back Jeromel and blocked his follow-up shot route.
Li Chuanqi made a cross kick!
Santa Cruz stretched out his left foot to block, and the football changed direction and flew into the empty goal!
The ball went in!
Three to two!
Malaga takes the lead again!
The reporters on the sidelines looked at each other in shock. Damn, a forward who is competing with Messi for the top spot in La Liga's top scorer list does not seek to shoot his own goals, but delivers cannonballs to his teammates?!
The Malaga TV commentator shouted loudly: "Santa Cruz scored twice! Lee scored a hat trick of assists! This was an atypical game. Lee changed from the team's top scorer to the top assister!
However, the result is still beautiful, and this Li is more intimidating!"
In the next game, Mallorca accelerated their offensive pace.
After getting the ball, Malaga no longer seeks to advance quickly, but patiently passes the ball in the midfield and back to consume time.
In the 42nd minute of the second half, Mallorca almost equalized the score again. Midfielder Max completed a steal near the center circle and immediately launched a quick counterattack.
After forward Hemed got the ball in the arc, he passed it lightly. Pina pushed the ball into the penalty area and pushed the ball!
The football went towards the left post of the goal!
In a flash of lightning, the football flew close to the post and flew out of the baseline!
This goal made Malaga break into a cold sweat.
In the following time, Malaga changed tactics and quickly pushed the football into the frontcourt.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Li Chuanqi had the best chance to score.
After Isco got the ball, he suddenly broke into the penalty area.
Isco made a beautiful overhead pass. Li Chuanqi raised his chest to remove the football, and then volleyed!
The football is over the goal!
Li Chuanqi sighed helplessly, as expected, no one can maintain peak condition in every game.
Three minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Malaga won with Santa Cruz's winner and continued to lead Barcelona by five points and occupy the top spot in the standings.
Li Chuanqi's second position in the scorer list has not changed, but the gap between him and Messi has widened to eight goals!
Li Chuanqi's record of consecutive goals also ended, fixed at sixteen games!
The La Liga defenders felt a lot more relaxed after knowing that Li Chuanqi had not scored a goal, but when they learned that Li Chuanqi had scored a hat trick of assists, their faces turned ugly.
Damn it, Lee who likes to shoot is already very uncomfortable. Now he finally didn't score a goal, but he scored a hat trick of assists.
How to defend him from now on?
Prevent breakthroughs, prevent shots, and now we have to add another one to defend against passes!
