It is the first time for many of them to participate in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, which is a fresh experience.
The venue, fans, and media are completely different from La Liga. This is a bigger stage and the highest stage for professional players to represent their clubs.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Pellegrini signaled everyone to quiet down, and the locker room became quiet.
Last summer, there were problems with Málaga's capital chain and the team was in turmoil. Chilean engineers used iron fist to restore normalcy in the locker room.
As the team's performance continues to improve, he slowly eliminates the differences between the local gang and the South American gang, and now the whole team is united around him.
He is the biggest authority in this locker room.
"Here, here! There is a problem with the defense of..."
Pellegrini did not encourage morale. There is no problem with the team's morale now. He pointed at the tactical board and analyzed the gains and losses in the first half.
"Be more patient when attacking and try to keep the football under your feet!"
Barcelona's success has indeed affected world football, and even countries like Germany, which advocates power play, are ready to make changes.
Last month, Bundesliga giant Bayern announced that Guardiola would serve as the team's head coach next season.
This can fully explain the problem.
Pellegrini began to comment on each starting player, pointing out their problems and praising them for what they did well.
When he arrived at Li Chuanqi's place, he didn't say a word for a long time.
Pellegrini finally said helplessly: "Forget it, just play according to your own ideas."
There was laughter in the locker room. Li Chuanqi looked at him and touched his chin in embarrassment.
Coach, if I don’t teach you like this, you can at least say something. It makes me feel special.
Pellegrini understood the meaning in his eyes, sighed and said: "The reason why I didn't make any demands on you is because I feel that you are in a period of transformation, and you need to understand more at this time.
, to understand.
What I said may not be correct.
In this case, it’s better not to say anything.”
The locker room was extremely quiet.
Li Chuanqi looked at him, maybe what you said is correct?
You are a coach, why are you so humble?
The other players didn't know what to say. Damn, should I nod or shake my head?
…
After a fifteen-minute intermission, players from both sides returned to the court.
The Dragon Stadium came to life again, with shouts and cheers coming and going.
Some Malaga fans shouted at Li Chuanqi: "Li! Score one more!"
Li Chuanqi felt helpless. Do you think I can score if I want to?
The commentator of Malaga TV loudly said: "Fans and friends! Audience friends! The second half is about to begin!"
The Portuguese national TV commentator said solemnly: "Malaga entered the second half with a one-goal lead thanks to Lee's lightning goal in the first half.
Porto's performance was average in the first half, and the offense did not create a few threatening attacks.
The defensive performance was not good either.
The main reason was that Lee suddenly appeared in the starting lineup, disrupting Porto's pre-match arrangements.
Hopefully they can make changes in the second half."
"Beep!..."
As the referee blew his whistle, the game began.
The two sides started a fierce battle near the center circle.
In the seventh minute of the second half, Porto struggled to push the football into shooting range, and midfielder Fernando took a long shot!
The football went over the crossbar.
After Malaga got the ball, they did not rush to move the football to the frontcourt to start the attack. Instead, they reversed the ball in the midfield and backfield. In addition to complying with Pellegrini's request, they also attracted the opponent out.
mean.
Falling behind, Porto stepped up its frontcourt press, and more and more people participated in the press.
In the 17th minute of the second half, Willigdon made a direct pass and found Isco near the center circle.
Isco did not pass back this time. After pulling the ball and turning around, Isco immediately made a long pass over the top!
This scene is very similar to Li Chuanqi's goal in the first half.
Li Chuanqi took advantage of the depth, moved forward quickly, jumped lightly, and steadily controlled the football with his left foot.
Porto's right back and right center back took advantage of the time he stopped the ball to quickly move into position and flank him.
Li Chuanqi showed his talent to the entire Dragon Stadium. He pulled the football back with his left foot and picked it up.
He leaned back slightly, turned around quickly, caught Danilo behind him, and stretched out his left foot to regain control of the football.
Just when Ayrton turned around, he moved the football to the left!
Chance!
Otamendi dropped his center of gravity, made a flying shovel, and headed towards the football with his right foot!
Malaga fans are nervous.
Li Chuanqi stretched out his left foot like lightning and stepped on the football, and the football stopped in front of Otamendi's toes!
Then Li Chuanqi gently pulled the football back, and the football escaped Otamendi's flying tackle!
With a slight pick, the football flew over Otamendi!
Li Chuanqi jumped up and followed the football past Otamendi!
Damn, this is definitely a provocation!
Danilo turned around and launched a fierce shovel. He wanted to knock Li Chuanqi down!
Tackle from behind!
"ah!……"
Malaga fans screamed nervously!
A crisis occurred and a strong premonition appeared. The moment Li Chuanqi landed, he jumped again and avoided Danilo's flying shovel.
But he had lost control of the football, which was controlled by Porto centre-back Mangala.
The hanging hearts of Malaga fans finally fell.
The commentator of Malaga TV said: "Li's series of extraordinary skills are amazing, but the players in Porto think that his extraordinary skills are provocation!
So Ayrton made a tackle from behind and luckily Lee avoided his tackle."
Li Chuanqi also realized the problem. In fact, he didn't think about it that much at the time. He felt that this was how he should excel.
He stretched out his hand, pulled Danilo and Otamendi up from the turf one after another, and explained to them.
The misunderstanding was quickly resolved.
In the 17th minute of the second half, Porto got a corner kick opportunity and pressed hard.
Danilo sent the football into the penalty area, and Demichelis pushed the football out of the penalty area with a header!
Li Chuanqi quickly took a step forward, leaned back slightly to lean on Fernando, and after using his chest to remove the football, he hooked backwards before the football landed!
After turning around, Li Chuanqi regained control of the football!
For the next time, Li Chuanqi entered the Dragon Stadium in complete silence.
After picking off Fernandez, Li Chuanqi started to accelerate with the football, smashing the ball, slalom, riding a bicycle... He used five passing skills and broke through five Porto players!
When he looked up, he found that he had reached the front of the Porto penalty area!
He penetrated Porto's defense!
Ayrton quickly attacked while shouting at Li Chuanqi: "Boy! Come on!"
He turned on provocation mode again.
Li Chuanqi sneered in his heart, made a quick feint, passed through his right side, and pushed with one kick!
