At the end of the game, the Malaga players went to thank the fans, and there was thunderous applause everywhere they went.
Who would have thought that Malaga would have such dazzling results this season.
La Liga, beating Barcelona and Real Madrid to occupy the top spot in the standings.
Reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and won another first leg tonight.
Such a result was beyond their imagination before the game.
These men are their heroes.
Li Chuanqi was interviewed by the official Champions League media under the leadership of the staff. In the interview, he talked about the difficulty of the game: "Obviously, Dortmund studied us carefully and also studied my characteristics carefully.
This is inevitable.
Therefore, my performance in the first half was average and I failed to catch several early passes.
This was a difficult game, Dortmund played very aggressively and their players have great running ability.
Fortunately, we won the game in the end!
I’m looking forward to the next round!”
The reporter asked: "Today Malaga formed a 4-4-2 formation with a U-shaped midfield position, which caused problems in the defense in the middle. What do you think of this problem?"
Li Chuanqi replied: "I don't want to talk too much about tactics. What formation the coach arranges and which position he asks me to play, I just have to follow his arrangements."
My job is to complete the tasks given to me by the good coach."
The reporter felt that this question might be a bit sensitive, so he changed the topic to him: "This is your first time participating in such a competition. Please summarize it for yourself."
Li Chuanqi thought for a while and said: "We didn't encounter any difficulties in the group stage, and it was easy to advance. One of the main reasons is that they are not familiar with us.
As the game progressed, there were no secrets between the teams, and it became more and more difficult for me in the game.
This is an inevitable process. What I have to do is to continuously improve my level and enrich my offensive methods.
That's what happened tonight. Although I didn't score in the positional battle, I relied on free kicks to score goals.
So far, I am basically satisfied with my performance.”
This is not the first time for reporters to interview Li Chuanqi, so they are used to his modesty.
"How do you feel now that you have tied Messi's single-season Champions League scoring record?"
Li Chuanqi said jokingly: "No one reminded me that I have already caught up with Messi's record. If I knew, I would try to score another one and surpass him!"
The reporter laughed kindly.
Li Chuanqi continued: "This is a wonderful feeling. Messi is a great player. Being able to be ranked alongside players like him is a very honorable thing for a player like me who has just entered the top league."
The reporter asked: "What kind of player is Messi in your mind? You have played against him in La Liga. I remember that in that game, you were marking Messi."
Li Chuanqi said: "Yes, Joaquin and I took the initiative to switch positions in that game to mark Messi. He is a good person."
Finished?
The reporter looked at Li Chuanqi. Li Chuanqi blinked, "What else do you want me to say?"
I have just said that Messi is a great player, but you brought up that La Liga game again. I froze Messi's game. Do you want me to say, "Messi's level is just like that."
The reporter laughed and shook hands with him: "Congratulations on your victory, and congratulations on catching up with Messi's Champions League single-season scoring record!"
Li Chuanqi said politely: "Thank you! Goodbye!"
After being interviewed by the official Champions League media, Li Chuanqi immediately returned to the locker room and sent a message to Blanca Padilla, telling her not to wait for him tonight.
He is going to the hospital for examination.
After sending the message, he went to take a shower.
Li Chuanqi did not send a message to his family because he did not want them to worry.
After taking a shower, Li Chuanqi and the team doctor walked through another aisle to avoid reporters and rushed to the hospital by car.
…
At the post-match press conference, Klopp took the lead and praised his players: "They did a great job and scored a goal in the Rose Garden!
Although it is a pity to concede two goals, this is an away game after all, and Malaga has very good offensive players, so this result is acceptable.
My players played to their level and I’m very pleased with their performance!”
He is confident in advancing: "Although we lost tonight, I think we will be the final winner. We have good players and great fans. When we return to home court, we will perform at 100% and play more smoothly."
attack!
We will score more goals!"
Li Chuanqi is an unavoidable topic. Klopp praised Li Chuanqi: "Our marking of him tonight was successful, but we still couldn't prevent him from scoring goals and assists.
Although Li has just entered the top league and played in the Champions League, he still has some shortcomings, but you have to consider his age.
He is only eighteen years old!
I have only seen such a performance from an 18-year-old player from Ronaldo. Messi was still very green when he was 18 years old.
But Li has proven himself in the Champions League.
In the future, he will become a player comparable to superstars such as Messi and Cristiano!
I said before the game that we need to contain Isco and restrict Lee. We did a good job of containing Isco tonight, but we didn't do a good enough job in restricting Lee's performance."
The reporter's mind was full of questions. You said earlier that your marking on Lee was successful, but now you say you are not satisfied with his defense.
Both Android and Apple are available.】
This is inconsistent.
Klopp continued: "It's not that I'm inconsistent in my words. I said that our marking on him was successful because we didn't let him score goals in positional battles. What I'm not satisfied with about the defense is that he still scored a goal and sent it once.
Assist."
The reporters were relieved.
Klopp's stance, Pellegrini appears.
The Chilean engineer praised his players for winning a difficult match.
Focused on praising Li Chuanqi: "Li Chuanqi's position changed tonight. Before the game, I was worried that he would not perform well, but my worries turned out to be unnecessary. Judging from the effect, I think he performed better in the middle!"
A reporter asked: "The biggest problem in Malaga's defense tonight is the center. Facts have proved that the U-shaped position of the 4-4-2 midfielder reduces the defensive level in the center. Have you considered returning to the 4-2-3 formation in the next game?
type?"
Pellegrini thought for a while and replied: "I don't want to talk more about the formation changes in this game. As for whether we will return to the 4-2-3 formation in the next game, our coaching staff will evaluate it and ultimately
Make a decision!”
A reporter asked him about his judgment on the promotion situation. He said: "I am quite optimistic about the promotion! I think it will be us who advance in the end! We are the leader, and the pressure is not on our side, but on their side."
