As the starting players from both sides entered the stadium, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Now let's introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides. Levante has a four-three-three attack formation.
Goalkeeper: Munua; four defenders: Juanfran, Ballesteros, Del Horno, Venta; three midfielders: Xavi Torres, Farinos, Iborra; three front Forwards: Pedro Lopez, Baldo, Aruna Cone!"
The commentator of Malaga TV loudly said: "Levante will play with all its main players!
It's going to be a bad night in Santa Malaga!
Ignacio Martinez is preparing to end the suspense of promotion in the first round?
Next, we will introduce to you the Santa Malaga lineup..."
Levante’s full lineup is on the field?!
The Santa Malaga supporters in the stands also discovered this and turned pale.
"Do you want face? Does Levante want face? Do you need to field the entire lineup to play against a D-level team?!"
"Damn it, all the main players are going to fight! St. Malaga is in trouble tonight..."
"Nima...I'm going..."
Li Chuanqi's family stood in the stands behind the bench. All four of them were wearing raincoats. The younger sister was particularly active. The second brother has now become her idol.
When her classmates learned that her brother played football in Santa Malaga and was the main striker, she became a star in the school and countless classmates wanted to get Li Chuanqi's autograph from her.
Li Xiaofeng is not a fuel-efficient person. There is no problem with signing autographs, but you have to pay for it!
Two euros per signature.
As more and more students asked for autographs, she has raised the price to five euros, but the number of students has not decreased.
In this way, Li Chuanqi became his sister's cash cow.
"If I win this game, I will raise the price to ten euros!"
The younger sister's bright eyes smiled like crescent moons. At this moment, in her eyes, the second brother was just a pile of money.
"What ten euros?"
Brother Li Chuanrui asked curiously.
My sister quickly waved her hands and said, "Nothing, nothing!"
…
"Beep!..."
As the referee blows his whistle, the game officially begins.
Santa Malaga, who took the lead to serve, moved the ball to the backcourt, and Levante's three forwards immediately pressed for the ball.
Santa Malaga quickly pushed the football into the frontcourt. The two full-backs frequently participated in the attack, and the backcourt players pressed near the center circle.
Santa Malaga changed its previous conservatism and invested a large number of troops in the attack!
Santa Malaga's first attack only advanced to the penalty area and was intercepted by the opponent. When Levante prepared to launch a quick counterattack, they found that they could not launch it at all.
Because Liage lost the ball, he immediately launched a fierce counterattack!
Although Liag failed to steal the football, he prevented the opponent from transferring the football to the midfield at the first time.
The two sides started a fierce battle in the Levante half, and screams were heard from time to time...
The commentator of Malaga TV loudly said: "When the attack failed, Santa Malaga did not immediately retreat to its own half to defend intensively like before, but started an active press in the midfield and frontcourt!
Santa Malaga changed tactics!
This change makes the game better to watch.
But it is not necessarily a good thing for Santa Malaga. After all, their strength is much weaker than Levante!
Therefore, I speculate that as time goes by, Santa Malaga will return to the tactical routine of defensive counterattack!
The reason why Santa Malaga did this is probably to disrupt Levante's pre-game arrangements!
No wonder Santa Malaga has made it this far!”
As time went by, the dominant Levante gradually took control of the rhythm of the game, advanced to the frontcourt, and launched an attack.
Santa Malaga's midfielder did not retreat to the penalty area as before, but actively pressed.
Such a change completely disrupted Levante's pre-match plan. It was very difficult for them to advance and they were unable to create shooting opportunities for a while.
"Ten minutes have passed, and neither side has created a chance to shoot!"
The commentator of Malaga TV loudly said: "Santa Malaga is very tenacious, this is a brand new Santa Malaga!"
In the fourteenth minute of the first half, Levante midfielder Farinos took a long shot and finally completed the first shot of the game.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Santa Malaga launched an attack from the right. After Li Chuanqi got the ball, he made a cross pass with Pablo who was connecting in the middle and went straight into the one-two, relying on his speed advantage to regain control of the football.
Then, amid the cheers of his supporters, he rushed to the baseline and kicked an inverted triangle!
Liag, who was ambushing in the middle, held Del Horno and pushed the ball!
The football flew towards the right side of the goal like a sharp arrow!
Levante goalkeeper Munua reacted quickly, jumped up, and blocked the ball out of the baseline with one hand!
This was Santa Malaga's first shot of the game. They had threatened Levante's goal, and the supporters in the stands burst into thunderous applause.
Li Chuanqi took the corner kick into the penalty area, and Levante center back Ballesteros overwhelmed Liag and pushed the football out of the penalty area.
Pablo, who was lurking outside the penalty area, shot furiously!
The football hits the goal like a cannonball!
The atmosphere in the rose garden became heated, and a storm was brewing.
"Damn it, no way..."
Levante fans' hearts were in their throats as they looked at their goal with worry.
"Pong!..."
There was a loud noise and the football hit the crossbar hard!
"No!……"
Hopes turned into disappointment, Santa Malaga supporters held their heads in pain.
"call!……"
Levante fans exhaled a long and heavy breath, and their hanging hearts finally fell, but their vests were cold.
The football bounced into the penalty area, and Levante midfielder Xavi Torres made a big kick to kick the ball out of the sideline, completely resolving the crisis in front of the goal.
The Malaga TV commentator said loudly: "This is a powerful and heavy long-range shot!
Santa Malaga captain Pablo's long shot was rejected by the crossbar!
In just one minute, Santa Malaga had two threatening shots!"
The game restarted, Santa Malaga patiently looked for opportunities, Levante was also very patient in defense, and the situation became deadlocked for a while.
In the 24th minute of the first half, Pablo suddenly accelerated the offensive pace after picking up the ball in the middle, and made a direct pass to Liag in front of the penalty area.
Liag made a beautiful turn around to get rid of the ball and get space to shoot.
"Bang!..."
Liag seized this fleeting opportunity and shot a long shot from outside the penalty area!
However, he failed to control his footwork when shooting, and the ball flew out of the field above the crossbar.
Lewandowski quickly took the goal kick, but Santa Malaga did not retreat in the midfield and immediately launched a counterattack. The situation became stalemate again.
In the 31st minute of the first half, Levante midfielder Farinos took the ball, suddenly turned around, and then directly passed the ball!
The football drew a wonderful arc in the air and flew towards the right!
"That's a nice long pass!"
The commentator of Malaga TV loudly said: "Farinos' long pass has a God's perspective. The football directly finds the weak spot of Santa Malaga's defense!"
As the Santa Malaga defense was pressing forward, Farinos' long pass flew over the Santa Malaga defense. Levante winger Aruna Cone took advantage of his speed to overtake Barris who stayed at the end.
·Ado!
"It's time to form a single sword!"
The Malaga TV commentator said loudly: "As long as Aruna Cone gets the ball, it's a one-shot!"
"La Liga teams are La Liga teams, and they can create murderous opportunities in an instant!"
The Levante fans in the stands became excited, and the Santa Malaga supporters became worried. Some even trembled: "I knew this would happen! Santa Malaga's defense was too close! It was too close.
