Santa Malaga's away victory over Valencia, ranked third in La Liga, really shocked the Spanish football world. When did a D-level team become so aggressive?
Fortunately, there is only a D-level team like Santa Malaga, otherwise professional teams and professional leagues would become a joke.
The outstanding performance of Li Chuanqi and Pablo put Málaga on the forefront, because these two came from the Málaga youth training camp, and many Santa Málaga players have experience in the Málaga youth training camp.
Why did Malaga let go of so many players with professional potential?
Faced with such accusations, Malaga Football Association President Arsani said in an interview with the media: "First of all, we congratulate Santa Málaga on their excellent results in the Copa del Rey.
Secondly, this just shows the strength of Malaga’s youth training camp, and we will increase our investment in youth training in the future!”
What does it mean?
Is this putting money on your face?
A reporter asked if Málaga has any plan to bring back outstanding players from Santa Málaga?
These people came from the Malaga youth training camp and still have deep feelings for Malaga. Letting them return and renew their dream of professional football is a happy thing for everyone.
Arsani replied: "This issue is already being discussed within the club and I believe there will be a result soon.
Once the club reaches a decision, we will contact them as soon as possible.
If they are willing to become part of Málaga again, we warmly welcome them back!"
It was the first time that Malaga officials said such words in public, which also ended some media speculation.
…
"Have you heard? Malaga wants Li, Pablo and others to return to Malaga."
"There were speculations in the media before, but Malaga has not expressed its position."
"You didn't read today's news. Arsani already expressed his position in an interview with reporters yesterday!"
"Really?"
"Really, the news was reported on TV and in newspapers!"
"This is a good thing! What a great thing!"
"Why go to Málaga? If they leave, there will be no Santa Málaga. Who will we go to see play then? Can we only play in Málaga in the future?"
"Thomas, you have to hurry up, otherwise your daughter's chances of becoming a professional player will be much smaller..."
"What can I do? I can only make connections. If I were a woman, I would go there myself..."
"No! If you were a woman, Li would definitely despair of this world!"
At the Park Stadium, the Santa Malaga players haven't arrived yet, but their supporters have already arrived in advance and gathered around to chat.
Watching Santa Malaga training matches has become the most important part of their lives.
These players are like their children. They have the feeling of watching their children grow up and now finally become famous all over the world.
The better Santa Malaga's results, the more they feel a sense of accomplishment.
Pablo was still the first player to arrive, and he greeted the supporters enthusiastically. Without these supporters, Santa Malaga would not be where it is today.
Several times the team had no funds to play away games, and Pablo desperately wanted to disband the team. After these supporters found out, they raised enough travel expenses for them, and the team was able to survive.
When the team performs poorly, these people encourage them and analyze the reasons for their failure with them.
So in Pablo's heart, these people are part of Santa Malaga, an inseparable part.
"Pablo, Arsani has made his statement. How are you considering it now? Are you really going to play in Malaga?"
Thomas, the "Sex-Girl", asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
They are very conflicted now. Once these core members leave, will Santa Malaga still exist?
But they don’t want their ideas to stop Pablo and others from realizing their dream of professional football.
Pablo smiled and said: "I don't think about these problems at all now, and they have not contacted me now. I am still the captain of Santa Malaga, and our most important game now is the King's Cup!
We’ll talk about other things later!”
This... is it because you don't want to reveal your true thoughts?
Are you afraid it will affect the team's morale?
Pablo looked at them, exhaled a long breath, and said seriously: "If I were to be twenty-five years old, I would definitely accept the club's invitation without hesitation.
But, I am already 28 years old now, even if I become a professional player, how many years can I still play?"
Pablo laughed self-deprecatingly: "Have you ever heard of someone who doesn't become a professional player until he is twenty-eight?"
While everyone was still thinking, Pablo continued: "Liag is still possible. After all, he is only twenty-four years old. But, this guy probably won't play football. He has too little self-discipline."
.
If he wanted, he could play in the professional league back then!"
Liage is unwilling to play in the professional league?!
But... what Pablo said does make sense. Although Liag couldn't make it to Real Madrid's first team, it was still not difficult to find a first-class team.
"Li will play in the professional league. Although he has been away from the youth training of a professional club for too long, he has not stopped progressing. It can even be said that he has made greater progress now than in the youth training camp."
Pablo expressed his feelings: "He is only seventeen years old and still has a lot of room for improvement. Instead of wasting time in the D-League, it is better to enter a real professional league.
And this is also his dream. The stage there is bigger and more suitable for him. His future should not just be to shine in the King's Cup!"
Someone nodded and said: "I think it makes sense. Li should go to the professional league. Can you stay in St. Malaga or St. Malaga? We people are now used to your existence."
Just gave up the opportunity to enter the professional league?
Thomas, the "Selling Mad Girl", felt sorry in his heart, looked at Pablo and said: "There is still time to think about it, don't make a decision in advance now, after all, it was your dream.
Of course we, the people, hope that you all can stay, and we hope that Santa Malaga will remain Santa Malaga, but... don't make a decision easily, you may not have such an opportunity in the future."
Thomas is telling the truth. The reason why Santa Malaga has suddenly emerged this year is because professional teams have not taken them seriously at all. On the other hand, Santa Malaga's self-confidence and morale have reached their peak.
By continuously defeating professional teams, Santa Malaga has broken the curse of "D-level teams being unable to defeat high-level league teams" and has boosted their morale.
And there is another important reason, because of the existence of Li Chuanqi.
If Li Chuanqi hadn't shined again and again, Santa Malaga would have been eliminated like other D-level teams.
Li Chuanqi will definitely leave Santa Malaga to fulfill his dream of professional football.
So, can Santa Malaga still frighten high-level league teams like it did this year?
Without dazzling results, if they want to become professional players, is it realistic?
Pablo nodded seriously: "Okay, I will consider it carefully after the King's Cup is over and discuss it with my family."
