At this critical moment of championship competition, physical health ranks first while ensuring victory.
In the end, Malaga won the away game as he wished, expanding his point advantage to four points.
After the game, Pelegrini praised the defense line in an interview with the media: "We only lost one goal tonight, which means our defense line is improving!
I believe it will get better and better in the future!
Defence is the key to our championship!
Of course, I also want to praise the front line, especially Li.
He played very selflessly tonight, giving out three assists.
We all know that he is only three goals behind Messi now and has a very good chance to compete for the La Liga Golden Boot.
We communicated privately, and he told me that in the face of collective interests, he is willing to choose to sacrifice his personal interests!
This is a great quality, he is only eighteen years old, and I am very surprised to have such an understanding!
He interpreted what he said tonight, and selflessly sent football to the feet of his teammates who were better at the position!"
Li Chuanqi also talked about this issue in an interview: "As for the Golden Boot, it is fake to not want to compete for it as a striker.
But when choosing between the Golden Boot and the Championship, I will definitely choose the latter!
There is a great opportunity to compete for the Golden Boot in the future, but Malaga wants to win the La Liga championship, maybe this is only this time!
I'm leaving Malaga next season, and I hope to leave a trophy for Malaga!"
After hearing what he said, Malaga fans left messages on his social account, hoping that he could lead Malaga to the La Liga championship.
"If you can lead Malaga to the La Liga championship, I will support you wherever you play football in the future!"
"Forgive you, Li! Come on, we support your choice!"
"Attack on, young man, we will support you!"
