Chapter 228: Li is the guarantee of victory in Malaga!
The news quickly spread within the Santa Malaga team.
It instantly aroused heated discussion and completely eliminated any worries in Li Chuanqi's mind.
"@ Santa Málaga, the person with the least say last year, when you proposed to sponsor the team, I agreed with both hands, but Pablo disagreed, and now he finally figured it out!"
"@ Santamálaga, the person with the least say, damn, you finally remembered that we are still living in dire straits, damn, hurry up and transfer the money to the team account, the team will soon be unable to open the pot!"
"@ Santa Malaga, the person with the least say in the future, when the team buys players, you may have to take action!"
"@The person with the least voice in Santa Malaga damn Pablo, if it weren't for him, I would have spoken to you a long time ago, hurry up, bring the money, we can do whatever you want!"
"@The most voiceless person in Santa Malaga, Pablo told me just now, You are a little guilty and feel that you have taken advantage of us. Damn it, what is in your head? Guilty ass, I think that's all
Well, next year your father must improve our treatment!"
"@ Santa Malaga, the person with the least say, you have to change your nickname. From now on, you will be the person with the most say in Santa Malaga."
"@ Santa Malaga, the person with the least say in the future. If I want a salary increase, I will come to you. Do you still dare not to give me a salary increase?"
"@ Santa Malaga The person with the least say Juan has been struggling to support himself in the past few years. Think about how we played in the King's Cup last year. How long did we fight for a plane ticket? You have already put all this into consideration.
Have you forgotten?!"
Looking at the lively chat group, Li Chuanqi laughed.
Sure enough, these people are family too!
…
With the Santa Málaga matter settled, Li Chuanqi returned his energy to football.
As for my father's running for parliament, my father and brother Li Chuanrui are worried about it.
The twenty-fourth round of La Liga is coming soon.
Pellegrini carried out a large-scale rotation, and Li Chuanqi and others did not even make the squad.
On February 16, the 24th round of La Liga kicked off, with Málaga playing at home against Athletic Bilbao.
Santa Malaga competed with them for the Copa del Rey championship last season. With Li Chuanqi's two goals, Santa Malaga won a thrilling victory, creating new history in the Copa del Rey.
Li Chuanqi still remembers that game. It was the first important trophy he won.
The Athletic Bilbao coach breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Malaga squad in his hand.
Thinking about it, this is normal. Malaga is already seven points ahead of Barcelona. The lead is obvious. The team has just finished playing in the Champions League. It is normal for the main players to rest.
Li Chuanqi was wearing casual clothes and stood in the stands with Joaquin and others. After Malaga fans spotted them, they waved to them excitedly.
Ending the nine-game losing streak against Real Madrid, ending the six-game losing streak against Barcelona, and overpowering the two giants to occupy the top spot in the standings... Such dazzling results have made them heroes in the hearts of Malaga fans.
Li Chuanqi, Joaquin and others waved to the fans.
The game starts on time at 7pm.
Malaga relied on the home advantage to launch an attack on Athletic Bilbao and frequently created offensive opportunities.
As time went on, Athletic Bilbao gradually stabilized its position and the two sides reached a deadlock.
At the 35th minute of the first half, Athletic Bilbao suddenly broke out. Right back Iola stepped forward to assist and made a pass. Center Aduriz scored a header in front of the goal, and the football broke the Málaga goal!
One to zero!
Athletic Bilbao, playing away from home, broke the deadlock and scored the first goal.
In the next game, Malaga launched a crazy counterattack, and there was danger in front of the Athletic Bilbao goal.
However, Malaga was unable to equalize the score.
After the start of the second half, Pellegrini mobilized his troops and Malaga's offensive became more fierce.
In the 37th minute of the second half, Malaga created an offensive opportunity in the center through a series of wonderful passes.
Santa Cruz gets a chance to stand alone!
But his push shot missed the goal!
In the end, Malaga lost 0-1 at home, and the Malaga fans left the Rose Garden with regret.
This is their first home defeat this season.
There have been complaints that Pellegrini should not have been rotated on such a large scale.
Some people think that with a seven-point lead, the team is fighting on two fronts and can carry out large-scale rotations. However, Pellegrini did not expect that the forward's ability to seize opportunities is so poor.
After the game, in an interview with reporters, Pellegrini said: "Our biggest problem tonight is our poor ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal. We missed at least four must-goals!"
Of course, reporters from the Malaga region would not let him go so easily. They asked a lot of tricky questions and believed that the responsibility for the loss lies with him. The main point is that there should not be a large-scale rotation.
Pellegrini looked at this group of Malaga reporters coldly, "You just lost a game that is not very important. Is that all you do?"
He left the scene angrily and did not answer reporters' questions.
As the most famous player in Malaga now, Li Chuanqi did not escape the fate of being interviewed by reporters.
On the matter of large-scale rotation, he supported Pellegrini: "The second half of the season has begun. We face two fronts, the Champions League and La Liga, and rest will become the norm.
We are already seven points ahead in La Liga, and there is no problem in making large-scale rotations under these circumstances!
Even though we lost this game, we still occupy the top spot in the standings.”
Joaquin and others also stood up to support Pellegrini.
Malaga's achievement this season is inseparable from Pellegrini's outstanding work. He tried every means to reconcile the local gang and the South American gang and form a joint force.
Although there is no way for the local gang and the South American gang to become friends, at least they haven't had any trouble at the training ground or on the playing field.
…
After Barcelona finishes this round of games, they will immediately play in the Champions League knockout rounds.
In order to prepare for the Champions League knockout match against AC Milan, Barcelona put Messi on the substitute list.
When Barcelona heard that Malaga lost at home, they immediately adjusted their starting lineup and Messi started.
Barcelona challenged Granada away from home in this round. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Messi fired up and scored twice, leading the team to a 2-1 victory!
With this victory, Barcelona narrowed the gap with Malaga, and the gap between the two teams was reduced to four points.
After the end of this round of matches, the news that Malaga defeated the La Rosaleda Stadium made headlines in many Spanish media.
Marca commented: "After just finishing the Champions League quarter-finals with Porto, Pellegrini went on a large-scale rest, and most of the main players, including Li, were excluded from the squad.
Although they controlled the football most of the time, the forward's ability to grasp the ball was too poor, and they eventually lost a goal to Athletic Bilbao.
Malaga suffered its second defeat in La Liga this season.
We discovered that these two losses had one thing in common - Lee did not play!
The match against Athletic Bilbao, if Lee was on the field, maybe the result would be different!"
World Sports News commented: "With the arrival of the Champions League knockout rounds, Malaga's problem of insufficient bench depth was exposed. They lost to Athletic Bilbao at home despite fully dominating the scene.
Barcelona did not miss this opportunity and narrowed the points gap to four points!
Maybe it only takes a few rounds for Barcelona to regain the top spot in the standings!"
Malaga Evening News believed that this defeat just showed the importance of Li Chuanqi to Malaga. They called on Arsani to meet Li Chuanqi's request for a salary increase and keep this genius in Malaga.
Malaga Business Daily said: "Facts have proved that Li is the guarantee of Malaga's victory. Without him, Malaga would not even be able to defend its home court!"
