Chapter 171 Only One Ball Is Needed
Malaga arrived in Barcelona three days before the game.
They were well received by Barcelona's bitter rivals Espanyol.
To be honest, the relationship between the Espanyol club and the Malaga club is not good.
But the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
To say that the least hope is to see Barcelona advance to the final.
Except for the Malaga party.
I am afraid it is Real Madrid and the Spaniard.
After all, they are mortal enemies.
The Champions League match between Malaga and Barcelona took place on April 4.
The other game, Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid, was played on April 4.
So in fact, the question of what schedule Real Madrid operates here before the game is really just "I don't take advantage or I suffer."
Malaga finished the game against Real Madrid and only had three days to rest.
One day less than both Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Some media pointed out before the game that this may be the root cause of Malaga's elimination.
Compared with Malaga's two consecutive fierce battles.
Barcelona's No.30 opponent in the third round of the league is Racing Santander, who has no desires this season.
So they have carried out a big rotation in this round of the league.
This can ensure that all players have sufficient physical fitness to deal with them in the second round of the semi-finals.
Barcelona is sitting at home, waiting for work.
Malaga is fighting a series of fierce battles, and there is no room for rotation at all.
In the pre-match preview.
Media from all over the world agree.
Barcelona, which is sitting at home and waiting for work, has a better chance of advancing. Of course, this is also a temper for Malaga.
They have now survived the first hurdle - beating Real Madrid.
If they can knock out Barcelona and reach the Champions League final.
That is a huge boost to Malaga's morale, which is also of great benefit to their competition in the league.
After all, for Malaga.
They and Barcelona still have a key battle to play: the direct dialogue between the two sides in the seventh round of No.30 league.
This game is the real game that may directly determine the championship! !
Of course.
before this.
Neither side has focused on that game yet.
For Pellegrini.
There is no giving up in the semi-finals of the Champions League. He must send out his strongest lineup and strive to eliminate his opponents.
But honestly.
For every manager, how to beat Barcelona is a very head-scratching question.
In the first round of the match between the two sides, Malaga was actually quite dangerous. If it hadn't been for Yello's breakthrough that caused Mascherano to be sent off with a red card for a foul, the outcome of this match would be really unpredictable.
Now the intelligence about the opponent is also true and false.
First of all, it is certain that Mascherano will definitely not be able to play.
Before the war, there were media reports from Catalonia.
Xavi was injured in training and may miss the game, while another suspected injured player is Puyol, who was substituted midway through the league, limped when he came out, and did not appear to be injured. I wonder if this is a smoke bomb released by Barcelona.
As for Malaga.
Isco will definitely not be able to play-he will have to rest for at least two weeks.
Fortunately, the other players are fine.
So for Pellegrini.
Of course he hoped that both Harvey and Puyol would not be able to play in this game.
Although Barcelona has Cesc Fabregas in the midfield who can replace Harvey, and Fontas and Abidal on the back line can both play central defenders as substitutes.
But Fabregas obviously cannot completely replace Harvey's role.
Neither Fontas nor Abidal can compare with Puyol and Mascherano in the position of central defender.
So if Xavi and Puyol are really injured, it is really good news for Malaga.
But Pellegrini can't guarantee that this is not a smoke bomb released by Barcelona.
So he still has to be prepared that all the main players in Barcelona can play.
In the case of Isco's injury.
Pellegrini decided to implement a strategy of defending and counterattacking at the Nou Camp.
After all, the total score is now two to one, Barcelona is behind, and they should be anxious.
Leave Ye Luo alone in the frontcourt, and then set up troops in the backcourt, and look for Ye Luo when he has the ball.
Give full play to Ye Luo's personal ability!
Anyway, whether it is a high-altitude ball or a ground ball, Ye Luo can be used as a very reliable frontcourt holding point and offensive point. He can be a bridgehead, a battering ram, or a sharp blade!
In this way, as long as there is no goal conceded in the first half, Malaga's chances of advancing to the final will be greatly increased.
therefore.
In the past few days, Málaga has been training mainly on defense, and the offense mainly rehearses some counterattack routines-Malaga will be stationed in the midfield for this game, so Ruud van Nistelrooy and Baptista are both sitting on the bench , to fight back, it is up to Ye Luo and Joaquin and Cazorla who came forward to push.
On the afternoon of April 4th, the Malaga team boarded the bus and headed to the Nou Camp.
At this moment.
The atmosphere of the Champions League semi-finals is already very strong.
The flags of the Champions League and both teams were hung on the light poles on both sides of the road to the stadium.
On the road, Barcelona fans wearing red and blue jerseys can be seen everywhere, converging into a huge stream of people.
Many of them are organized fan groups.
These are the workhorses that create the atmosphere on the pitch.
They sang songs in unison and walked towards the stadium together.
Seeing these crowds, a player on the bus said: "It is estimated that the whole of Barcelona is our enemy now."
Ye Luo said: "Our opponents are only Barcelona players on the pitch, and they can only make some noise at most."
"I don't believe they can come down from the stands and kick the ball into the goal for a Barcelona player"
The players laughed when they heard this.
The tense atmosphere became slightly more active.
But when the players actually come to Camp Nou.
They know it.
This is definitely not a noise. The terrifying noise made by more than 9 fans shook the stadium, and many players felt their chests being shaken.
This kind of pressure is not something ordinary people can bear.
But for the Malaga players.
The temptation to reach the Champions League final is too great, too great!
Yes, we are just a small team!
But we... also have huge dreams!
And who stipulates.
To which giants does such a thing as winning the Champions League belong?
Prince and general, would you rather have a kind?
Barcelona are definitely ready to attack aggressively at home.
And Malaga's defensive counterattack was actually expected by Guardiola.
He didn't dare to expect that Malaga would press out against Barcelona in this stadium.
Because Malaga's defense is actually not very good, they formed a 451 formation in this game. When the starting list came out, Guardiola knew Malaga's strategy for this game.
So far this season, for both sides, there are no secrets.
Pellegrini also knew before the game that Harvey and Puyol both started-as expected, the so-called injuries were just smoke bombs.
After the start of the game, Barcelona didn't attack too hard, because everyone knows how strong Ye Luo's personal ability is. Once he gets a chance to score a goal, Barcelona will be really troubled.
So in the first half, Barcelona was not in a hurry. Anyway, they only needed one goal to eliminate Malaga with an away goal advantage.
Now the two teams have their own fears and are competing with each other for patience.
Facing Barcelona's temptation to fall in the backcourt, Malaga was not fooled, and they were also very calm.
Isn't it just more patience?
If the situation of the game does not change, Barcelona will be anxious after all!
In fact, this situation is what Pellegrini wants to see.
Because in such a smooth situation, the team's defensive pressure is small, and the possibility of losing the ball is also small.
He can accept a zero-to-nil - it would be good for Malaga if the first half ended at a zero-to-nil.
and so.
In the first half of the game, both sides had a tacit understanding and did not attack aggressively. The two teams played a first half that made many fans drowsy.
"In the first half, both sides suppressed their desire to attack. This may be related to the importance of this game. Both sides played very conservatively, which made the first half dull. After all, it is related to who can enter the Champions League In the final game, neither side wanted to show their hole cards first, which is understandable, but this is not very friendly to the fans of Longguo who got up to watch the game in the middle of the night. sleepy."
Duan Xuan complained when the whistle sounded at the end of the first half.
At the media table.
Many reporters even yawned.
"so boring."
"Barcelona shouldn't be like this. Time wasted in the first half, they were behind."
"indeed"
Actually.
Guardiola also noticed that Malaga really came to this game with the intention of killing time with Barcelona.
Now there are only 45 minutes left in the game. In the second half, Barcelona has little retreat and they must attack.
Pellegrini is also aware of this, so he emphasized to the players during the intermission to pay attention to Barcelona's aggressive attack in the second half.
"Only 45 minutes to go, lads, you played really well in the first half, we didn't concede a goal, so the initiative is still on our side, but the second half is not so easy, the second half, they will definitely play. If we attack hard, our defense will be under much more pressure than in the first half!"
Pellegrini's face was serious.
This made the Malaga players look very serious.
Everyone knows the seriousness of the problem.
Before everyone was about to return to the pitch, Ye Luo, the captain, stood up and said: "Brothers, Barcelona thinks that only one goal is needed to kill us! But don't forget, we only need one goal." A goal will send them down!! Remember, we only need one ball too! Only one ball is needed to break them!"
Ye Luo's words inspired the confidence of Malaga's players again.
Yes.
All it takes is one ball!
Neither Barcelona.
Or Malaga.
