The top prediction at the start, I am the third ball king

Chapter 218 The Champions League knockout round is here

With the end of the No.20 three rounds of La Liga, fans in Europe and the world will turn their attention to the upcoming UEFA Champions League.

On February [-], Malaga took an international flight to Porto, a city in northern Portugal.

Porto Football Club was established in 1893. After its establishment, it became the leader of the Portuguese League One. There was a period of sinking in the middle, and then it began to rise completely, sweeping many league championships.

The Porto club has won multiple league titles, becoming the team that has won the second most Portuguese league titles.

Porto has won two UEFA Champions League titles in history.

In 1987, Porto ushered in the first glorious year in the history of team building. In that year's European Champions Cup, they defeated their strong opponent Bayern Munich 2-1.

From 2002 to 2004, under the leadership of Portuguese coach "Madman" Jose Mourinho, they won the UEFA Cup first.

In the 2003-20004 season, he defeated Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo Football Club. In the final held in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, he defeated the French club Monaco [-]-[-]!

Become the European Champions Cup champion again after 17 years!
It became the second team to win the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League for two consecutive years after Liverpool from 1975 to 1977.

In the 2010-11 season, under the leadership of Marshal Villas Boas, the Porto team won the Portuguese Super League, Portuguese Cup and Europa League Triple Crown.

This is a strong team, from the historical record point of view, Malaga can not be compared with it.

However, under the leadership of the "Gemini" this season, Malaga beat Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​occupying the top spot in the standings, and qualified two rounds ahead of schedule in the Champions League group stage.

Therefore, Malaga and the media believe that Malaga has a greater hope of advancing.

At noon on the 23rd, Malaga and his party landed at Porto International Airport.

When they came out, journalists from all over Europe who had been waiting there for a long time called them.

Pellegrini and Joaquin were interviewed by the media as representatives.

Li Chuanqi did not go because the media would definitely ask about his relationship with Blanca Padilla.

He doesn't want to talk about his love life in front of the media.

However, his idea is beautiful, but the reality is "cruel".

The reporters rushed towards him, and the airport security couldn't stop him.

Li Chuanqi had no choice but to accept the media interview.

When talking about tomorrow night's game, he said modestly: "After the lottery, many people think that we have drawn Porto, which is a good lottery. But our whole team believes that Porto is a strong team.

Tomorrow night's game will be very intense. Our goal this time is to score an away goal first, and then strive for a draw. If possible, we will strive for victory. "

The media has gotten used to his modesty and didn't pay much attention to it.

They shifted their target to his love affair, and asked how they met, and why they walked together without any warning before.

Li Chuanqi told them that they had known each other five years ago and that they had studied in the same school. Blanca Padilla returned to Madrid after studying in Malaga for a year.

When shooting commercials, they met again after five years, so they came together naturally.

This is the first time he has officially admitted their relationship in front of the media.

The reporters were very satisfied, thinking that they didn't have to wait so long today for nothing.

Pellegrini said: "Porto is a team worthy of respect, their history is glorious, they have won the Champions League twice, and we are participating in the Champions League for the first time.

It is a good thing for us to play against Porto this time.

We can learn from them. "

The reporters were extremely surprised, Mr. Pellegrini, why are you so humble?

Real Madrid and Barcelona have been beheaded in a row, aiming to compete for the La Liga championship. Can Porto compare with Real Madrid and Barcelona?

Pellegrini ignored them and continued: "It will be very difficult to play against a team like Porto, which has a lot of experience in the Champions League.

Now that it has entered the knockout stage, every game is very important and will determine the final promotion situation.

So our tactical strategy is to defend firmly and wait for an opportunity to counterattack! "

Is this a smoke bomb?

Reporters don't know.

Some people say that football is the epitome of modern warfare. In order to win, coaches and players battle wits and bravery. There are endless schemes and lies. You don't know whether what they say is true or not.

Joaquin said in an interview: "We are eager to play against a team like Porto, which will give us a lot of experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

There are not many players in our team who have participated in the Champions League knockout rounds, they need to exercise. "

Joaquin is telling the truth, and this is Malaga's biggest shortcoming.

A reporter asked him if he was optimistic about Li Chuanqi's match tomorrow night.

Joaquin said: "Lee is the most talented player I have ever seen! Not only that, but he is also the most hardworking player I have ever seen. When we were on vacation, he did not rest, but trained on the training ground.

He was in the weight room doing strength training in the evenings while we were at Peggy.

Do you think such a player should succeed? "

The reporters were taken aback, and then gave a thumbs up. Top talent, coupled with hard work, of course such a player should succeed.

……

After checking into the hotel, Li Chuanqi put down his suitcase and called his mother, telling her that he had arrived safely and had checked into the hotel.

His mother told him to be careful in everything outside.

Joaquin, like him, called home after putting down his luggage.

After Li Chuanqi told his mother that he was safe, he called Blanca Padilla.

After the call was connected, the opposite side was a bit noisy. According to Blanca Padilla's description, it should be a dressing room.

The din of the phone died down quickly, and Blanca Padilla was supposed to walk out of the dressing room.

"Honey, have you arrived at the hotel yet?"

Blanca Padilla's sweet voice rang through the phone.

The two chatted for half an hour before ending.

In the afternoon, Malaga conducted adaptive training at the venue provided by Porto. Laughter came from the training ground from time to time, and the reporters outside the training ground set up long guns and short cannons.

The platform of the UEFA Champions League is indeed different.

Pellegrini did not arrange targeted tactical drills. After warming up, he conducted simple technical training, and then fought within the team.

Li Chuanqi's state is mediocre, and he failed to score a goal in the first three shots.

The Portuguese reporter's eyes lit up. Malaga's top scorer is not in good condition, which is good news for Porto.

Li Chuanqi also seemed to know that his condition was not good. In the next confrontation, he focused on passing the ball to his teammates.

At the end of the first half, Li Chuanqi was knocked to the ground by the defender.

He limped to his feet, and Pellegrini immediately made a substitution, leaving the team doctor to deal with it.

The reporters outside the training ground shot Li Chuanqi who was sitting on the ground!
