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

Chapter 248 Pellegrini Changes

On March [-]th, the weather in Malaga was fine.

The first leg of the Champions League quarter-final match between Malaga and Borussia Dortmund will start today in the Rose Garden.

The major European media made predictions for this game.

Most media believe that the game is likely to be tied.

L'Equipe said: "Three days ago, Malaga ended two rounds of La Liga without a win and won a victory, but we can see that there is a problem with their defense.

Although the main central defender Willigton returned from injury, he has not yet found his form and shoveled the opponent's cross into his own goal.In addition, the main goalkeeper Caballero will miss this game due to injury.

Malaga's biggest problem now is the defense problem!
Li can still output steadily for Malaga, and Malaga's offensive power is still strong, but once their defense has problems, it will be very difficult for Malaga to beat Dortmund. "

Defense is indeed Malaga's biggest problem recently, with two consecutive rounds without a win, Barcelona narrowed the points gap to two points.

For Barcelona, ​​two points is a small gap, maybe they will be able to regain the top spot in the standings in the next round.

The British Guardian said: "Malaga can only hope for a greater contribution from the forward line if they want to win the first leg!"

Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy was more direct: "Malaga wants to win, but they can only hope that the twin stars will shine!"

……

Blanca Padilla did not arrive in Malaga a day earlier this time, but came to Malaga on the afternoon of the game day.

Because of the conflict with the training time, Li Chuanqi did not go to pick her up, and asked his father to send a car to take her to the hotel.

After training, Li Chuanqi went directly to the hotel to meet her.

The two did nothing, and Blanca Padilla knew that her boyfriend had an important game tonight.

She puts tenderness at the end of the game.

The two had a warm and romantic dinner in the hotel restaurant.

Blanca Padilla drank a little red wine, and her face was peach-blossom-like, delicate and charming.

Li Chuanqi wanted to eat her right away, but finally held back.

After dinner, Li Chuanqi kissed Blanca Padilla affectionately and headed to the training base with his sports bag on his back.

……

At [-]:[-] p.m., the Malaga players gathered at the training base and took the club bus to the Rose Garden Stadium.

The atmosphere on the bus is still relaxed. Although there are problems in the defense, they are still looking forward to tonight's game.

Pellegrini closed his eyes, thinking about tonight's formation.

Now that the back line is unstable, he wants to change his formation and make adjustments to the midfield.

Fans wearing Malaga home jerseys appeared in the streets and alleys of Malaga. They knew that their team had encountered difficulties recently, and many of the main players were either absent due to injuries or in poor condition.

They are going to the scene to cheer for their team.

When they saw the Malaga bus, they yelled, "Come on!"

At [-]:[-], the Malaga bus drove into the Rose Garden Stadium.

As Pellegrini and the players stepped off the bus, they were greeted by waiting reporters.

Pellegrini came to the reporter alone for an interview: "About the team's defense, I have already said a lot in the pre-match press conference in the afternoon, and now I will mainly talk about offense.

Tonight I will give Lee more autonomy, let him play freely, and fully exert his deterrent power.

Isco's position will also change to some extent. "

The reporter asked: "Can you tell me how it changed?"

Pellegrini shook his head and said, "I can't tell you now!"

The reporter looked at him suspiciously, do you know that your reputation is not good now?
The scene at the Dragon Stadium is still vivid, are you going to use our mouths to release smoke bombs again?
Soon after, the Dortmund bus arrived and Klopp was interviewed by the media.

A reporter expressed what Pellegrini had just said and asked him what he thought.

Klopp thought for a while and said: "Now it is difficult to judge whether what he said is true. If he wants to liberate Lee, it is most likely to let Lee be in the middle position. As for Isco, I think it should still be in the middle position.

Tonight will be a difficult game. Some people say that Malaga's defense has problems recently. I don't think so. I think their defense is still strong!
We will execute according to the plan made before the game! "

……

At [-]:[-], the players from both sides finished warming up and returned to the locker room to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Visiting team locker room.

Klopp is speaking passionately: "Tonight will be the beginning of another journey for us!
Even if Malaga is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, we have to break through it!

Even if the Rose Garden is the home of the devil, we have to break through!

Tonight, we will raise the banner of victory high and plant the banner of victory on the Rose Garden Stadium!
Tonight, we will be the bravest challengers, because this is the Rose Garden Stadium, where Real Madrid and Barcelona have turned back one after another!
Tonight, we will show all our courage and go forward with indomitable momentum to fulfill our dreams! "

Dortmund soldiers are fighting like fire!

In the locker room of the home team, Pellegrini announced tonight's starting lineup and formation: "Tonight our formation is four four two!"

The players were not surprised. In the past two days, Pellagrini kept trying the [-] formation and the [-] formation. At that time, many players guessed that the formation might change tonight.

"Goalkeeper: Kameni; four defenders: Sergio Sanchez, Willigdon, Onyeu, Monreal; four midfielders: Joaquin, Toulalang, Camacho, Is Branch; Forwards: Saviola, Lee!"

Pellegrini read out the starting lineup.

He looked at Li Chuanqi and said, "I will give you the greatest freedom tonight, you can play according to your own ideas!"

There was a surprised sound in the locker room, and then disappeared immediately.

This is giving Li Chuanqi special privileges.

But thinking of Li Chuanqi's contribution to the team, the players immediately accepted this reality.

In fact, this approach is very dangerous. If it is not done well, it will cause chaos in the locker room.

Pellegrini looked at Saviola as if he didn't hear the surprise from the players, and said, "Once Lee gets the ball, you need to open up space and give him more room to attack!"

Saviola nodded, he has passed the peak of his career, as long as he can contribute to the team, he is already very satisfied.

Of course, more fundamentally, he had a good impression of Li Chuanqi.

He hadn't come to Malaga yet in the big conflict between the local gang and the South American gang.

So his impression of the local gang is not as bad as other South American gang players.

……

At this moment, the reporters have already got the starting list of both sides.

Looking at Malaga's starting lineup, the reporters were talking hotly:

"Pellegrini improvised and put Lee up front, which was really to free him up so he could attack from the front!"

"Isco put it on the side! Pellegrini really didn't put smoke bombs!"

"However, I don't think this change will be effective. The U-shaped position in the midfield and the defensive level in the middle are missing. Their defense has problems, and they still change like this."

"Just look at the effect, it's still too early to say this! To liberate Li, the midfielder must be adjusted!"

"However, does Li adapt to this change? He is used to playing on both sides, and suddenly put him in the middle, and his speed advantage can't be used at all! So I think it's a dangerous move! Maybe, Li I'm going to lose myself tonight!"

"In terms of height and body, Lee's position tonight is center forward. Does he adapt to this position?"

Most of the reporters were not optimistic about Pellegrini's change of formation, and at the same time expressed concern about Li Chuanqi's performance tonight.

Pellegrini is putting all his treasures on Li Chuanqi.
