After the thirty-fifth round, there are only three rounds left in La Liga.
But Malaga will meet Real Madrid and Barcelona in these three rounds, and they will all be away games.
Malaga are now only one point ahead of Barcelona.
This is the reason why the media has not been optimistic about Malaga winning the championship.
In the thirty-sixth round, Malaga will be tested by Real Madrid.
With their good performance in La Liga in recent times, Real Madrid has surpassed Atletico Madrid and risen to third place in the La Liga standings, still about ten points behind Malaga and Barcelona.
This means that although Real Madrid cannot compete for the La Liga championship, they have reasons to secure their third place position.
The top three teams in La Liga can directly enter the Champions League, and the fourth place must participate in the play-offs.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. Real Madrid must defend their home honor.
Marca made a pre-match prediction: "Malaga's attack line has been very active recently and has strong firepower. Especially Santa Cruz, which has scored goals in four consecutive games and has a tendency to return to its peak.
Real Madrid should pay attention to this veteran.
As for Li, he has not scored in two consecutive games, which shows that his recent shooting form is not very good.
However, although Li did not score a goal, he sent a terrifying five assists in these two games!
Therefore, Real Madrid cannot take him lightly and must still focus on him.
Judging from the strength comparison between the two sides, Real Madrid still has the upper hand. Coupled with the advantage of home court, Real Madrid's victory is reasonable.
But they must prevent accidents."
World Sports News said: "As the season progresses, Li gradually becomes familiar with La Liga defenders, so his number of goals is decreasing. This is the main reason why he did not score in two consecutive games.
As for the so-called "personal interests can be given up for the benefit of the team.", this is just a beautiful wording.
Li is not as powerful as people think. His current reputation is directly related to the praise from the media in Malaga.
Therefore, after this round of games, Barcelona will definitely regain the top spot!"
Not favored by outside media, Malaga media cheered for Malaga and Li Chuanqi.
The Malaga Evening News even cited the miracle of Santa Malaga winning the King's Cup: "The greatest charm of football is that before the final whistle of the game, no one knows what the final result will be. In the showdown with Real Madrid, Malaga
It's normal not to be favored by others.
But we can completely ignore what those people say and prepare for war seriously.
Miracles always belong to those who never give up, and those who dare to meet challenges!
When were Santa Málaga favored last season?
But they created miracles again and again and finally won the King's Cup!
Malaga must now have the courage of Santa Malaga to compete in the Copa del Rey next season and create a miracle!"
Malaga Business Daily said: "For ordinary forwards, it is normal for ordinary forwards to not score in two consecutive games. But Li is different. He has not scored in two consecutive games, and some media have mentioned it.
thing.
But they ignored the fact that Li was still the key player in these two games, sending out five assists.
Isn’t this performance eye-catching?
Some media have only one criterion for judging forwards - scoring goals.
This is extremely biased.
Forwards are the attackers of the team, and their task is indeed to score the opponent's goal, but the fundamental purpose of football is to win.
Is a striker who only scores goals a good striker?
In the first half of the match between Malaga and Barcelona at home, Messi scored two goals. In the eyes of some media, he was the best player in that game.
However, Barcelona lost the game in the end!
Although Li only scored one goal in that game, almost everyone knew that he was the most crucial figure in that game and the brightest star in that game.
A forward who helps his team win with assists is not a good forward?
This logic is so funny!
Li, carry out the assists to the end and shut up those people!"
The views of Malaga Business Daily have aroused heated discussion. Many media in Spain have expressed their views. Some people agree with their views and believe that the number of goals scored is not the only criterion for judging forwards. Some people say that the mission of forwards is to score goals. When it comes to assists,
Then why should we play as a forward? Wouldn't it be better to play as a midfielder instead?
Malaga has not been affected by the media and is preparing seriously for the game.
Now Malaga is full of fighting spirit, has strong exclusivity, and is not affected by any outside world.
As for Li Chuanqi, he has no control over the media.
Regarding the game strategy against Real Madrid, Málaga players held many private discussions, and their opinions were divided into two groups. One group believed that the offense should be carried out while maintaining a solid defense, which is a defensive counterattack tactic.
The other group believes that they should attack and fight Real Madrid.
The former view is relatively conservative, but more stable.
The latter view is relatively radical and highly risky.
Li Chuanqi did not participate in the discussion. Joaquin found it strange and once asked him why he did not speak.
Li Chuanqi said with a smile: "No matter how much we discuss, it's useless. The final decision rests with the coach, and everyone knows what the coach's coaching style is."
Are Pellegrini's tactics aggressive?
No, he is conservative.
In many games, once the team takes the lead, he will focus mainly on defense, hoping to hold on to the victory.
Joaquin shook his head and said: "We do know the coach's coaching style, but your opinion is also very important. If you want to defeat Real Madrid, your performance is crucial. I believe that after you put forward your opinion, the coach will consider it carefully."
Li Chuanqi shook his head and said: "Because of this, I won't express my opinion. The coach has greater pressure than any of us now, and I don't need to put additional pressure on him.
If my views coincide with the coach's, that's no problem.
Once I don't get along with the coach, will the coach still have to convince me?"
Joaquin thought about it and thought it made sense.
However, Li Chuanqi was still too young. Soon after, Pellegrini called him into the office and asked for his opinion.
Damn, there are some things that you just can't avoid even if you want to.
Li Chuanqi had no choice but to express his point of view: "Defense and counterattack."
Pellegrini looked surprised and asked: "Why?"
Li Chuanqi said: "In the away game, the opponent is a team like Real Madrid. If we play against them, there is only a dead end.
I think everyone knows this.
The fundamental reason why they propose an offensive war is that they are not optimistic about the final result. They subconsciously believe that they cannot defend it anyway, so they might as well attack it.
In this way, even if you lose, the scene will not be so ugly.
Moreover, they have no confidence in our defense line.
But I have confidence in our defensive line and they're getting better."
Malaga's performance had huge ups and downs some time ago, including being eliminated by Dortmund. The main reason was due to problems with the defense.
"Some media mentioned that Santa Malaga won the King's Cup last season and thought that Malaga's current situation is similar to that of Santa Malaga and is not favored by others. I think this view has some truth."
Li Chuanqi continued: "It is indeed very difficult for Malaga to win the championship. Not only do they have to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona, but they also do it in two away games. This is a fact and an undeniable thing.
How did Santa Malaga win the Copa del Rey last season?
I won’t talk about anything else. Santa Malaga relies on defensive counterattack tactics.
Although Malaga does not have a long pass master like Pablo, Malaga does have Isco.
