Chapter 112 Crazy Bielsa, Crazy Biba.

In the game against Zaragoza, the team's starting main force was out.

Dedicated a hearty five to zero for the fans at home!
Yello scored a goal in each half, Isco and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored goals, and Baptista, who came off the bench, scored the fifth icing on the cake.

After playing this game.

Malaga has won four consecutive league victories and scored twelve points.

Two hours later, the good news came.

Real Madrid's away game against Sevilla was tied [-]-[-] by their opponents!

And still at the last moment of the game, Sevilla tied Real Madrid!

If neutral fans watch this game, they will find it very exciting. The hearty confrontation battle, the two sides cooperated to contribute six goals, and at the same time, there was a perfect goal at the last moment of the game.

But that's not the case for Real Madrid fans.

Because after the game was tied.

Their points were overtaken by Barcelona.

The current La Liga standings are as follows:

Malaga won four consecutive victories, scored [-] points and ranked first in the standings.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid all have three wins and one draw, all with ten points.

Barcelona are second on goal difference, Atletico Madrid third and Real Madrid fourth.

However, the next fifth round of the league is another difficult choice for Malaga.

Because three days after this game, they will be in Munich and challenge the Bundesliga giants at Bayern Munich's home court.

This game and the Champions League three days later.

For Malaga, which game is more important?
This requires the team's coaching staff to make a trade-off.

In the end, Pellegrini still decided to send half of the main players and half of the substitute rotation in this game against Athletic Bilba.

After finally reaching the Champions League, Pellegrini did not want to pay too much attention to the Champions League game. The team defeated AC Milan in the first Champions League game, which proved that the team can respond when facing top teams .

That being the case.

So why make a decision so early on?
Now the league has just begun, and it has not yet reached the final sprint stage, and it has not yet reached the point of either-or.

Therefore, it is normal for Pellegrini to make this decision.

His calculation is that between the two opponents of Athletic Bilbao and Bayern Munich, it is obviously more likely to make a rotation in this game against Athletic Bilbao, because even if It is a rotation lineup, and Malaga may not lose to Athletic Bilbao in the away game.

However, when they faced Athletic Bilbao, who played crazy at home.

The situation was not as wonderful as Pellegrini had planned.
Athletic Bilbao is a founding member of La Liga and has not been relegated since 1928.Only Real Madrid and Barcelona have this honor at the same time.

Moreover, since the establishment of this team to the present, only players from the Basque Country have been used in the team lineup!
This is quite rare all over the world.

Even before 2008, the Basque Lions never had any commercials on their jerseys!

It shows how conservative this team is.

But this kind of conservatism has allowed Athletic Bilbao to retain their own style since its inception. They are like bulldogs, full of fighting spirit and tenacious willpower.

The Basques are very sturdy, a mountain nation on the border between West and France.

This sturdy character is reflected in the Athletic Bilbao team, which is quite difficult to press and run.

In addition, coach Bielsa of the madman has taken over the Basque Lions, and the combination of the madman and the Basque Lions seems to be a match made in heaven.

Let this team's game style become more passionate.

as a head coach.

In terms of championship honors, Bielsa, who has only won three Argentine domestic league titles and one Olympic gold medal, is hardly worth mentioning in front of many honorary head coaches.

However, as a football theorist, Bielsa has undoubtedly had a profound impact on South American football. Since the 60s and [-]s, when the four-back style of play began to influence the world from Brazil, no South American has ever had an impact on football. Tactics have such a huge impact.

In a sense, Bielsa's tactical philosophy can also be regarded as a continuation of the tactical philosophy of Total Attack and Total Defense.

That's why he's called a lunatic.

It originated from his tactics, the almost crazy frontcourt pressing and oppression in the frontcourt!
This kind of pressing and oppression seems commonplace today in the 2020s.

But when Bielsa took the lead in implementing this almost crazy tactic, it was indeed a "crazy" behavior.

In that era when goalkeepers generally had no ability to play the ball, the opponent could hardly organize an attack from the ground and could only use big kicks in the suffocating press in the frontcourt, and the number of defenders of one's own side was far more than that of the opponent's forwards, controlling the high altitude The probability of the ball far exceeds that of the opponent, so the time limit for this kind of pressing is naturally quite high.

Many head coaches in later generations have been influenced by Bielsa. Guardiola said in an interview that his tactical thinking has been greatly influenced by Bielsa.

Bielsa has not won too many championship honors, but he is undoubtedly the figure of a generation of masters who started a school.

And he has almost paranoid requirements for tactics, and he doesn't even care about the outcome. His team is always pressing, passing the ball forward, and attacking.

This game from the very beginning.

Athletic Bilbao, who sit at home, launched a suffocating press.

They started with a 4231 formation.

Javi Martinez and Herrera are two players in the midfielder, and the Spanish international Llorente is on the front line.

The two tough midfielders gave Athletic Bilbao the confidence to press crazily.

Game No.13 minutes.

Athletic Bilbao scored.

Relying on their crazy frontcourt press, they directly completed the steal and grabbed a chance!
Camacho was surrounded when he got the ball in the backcourt. He hesitated a little, and was surrounded by Athletic Bilbao players. He could only choose to protect the ball and prepare to use his body to block the opponent and create a foul in order to get a Stop the game and get a breather.

However, when Harvey Martinez squeezed him to the ground, and after stealing the ball, he handed the ball to the winger Suzaeta on the wing. Suzaeta inserted at high speed and passed the ball directly without stopping!
Llorente and Demichelis competed for the top in the middle, and the football hit Demichelis' shoulder and bounced to the penalty area line.

Herrera, who inserted from the midfielder position, volleyed towards the ball.

The football went straight to the goal like an arrow from the string.

Caballero has nothing to do with this shot.

"One to zero!! Herrera scored!!" Andres shouted.

"Athletic Bilbao take the lead!"

When the football flew into the Malaga goal, there was a huge cheer in the air of the San Mamés stadium!
"Athletic Bilbao are ahead! Malaga are behind on the road! This is the first time they have fallen behind this season. From the beginning of this game, Bielsa's team has no mercy. Let Malaga The frontcourt was almost suffocating, and in this game, Cazorla and Joaquin sat on the bench, Camacho, Isco, and Juanito were in the midfield, and Yello was on the front line , Baptista, Diego Bonannot, in the midfield, Camacho and Isco are too young, and a large part of Athletic Bilba's pressing in this game is aimed at them Yes, and it worked out really well.”

"Malaga is behind, and the happiest people may not be the fans of Athletic Bilbao, but the fans of Real Madrid and Barcelona. They finally see the hope of Malaga losing."

Andres joked in the commentary booth.

And after the game resumed.

The competition became more intense.

Malaga wanted to quickly equalize the score, while Bielsa's team was tit-for-tat and refused to give up an inch.

The players on Malaga's side were angry.

Because they felt that Harvey Martinez's stealing the ball was obviously a foul, but the referee ignored this, which led to the loss of the ball.

While Athletic Bilbao was celebrating a goal, Malaga's players surrounded the referee for an explanation.

Ye Luo, wearing the captain's armband, questioned the referee's penalty scale.

The referee just explained to Ye Luo that Martinez did not open his hand, and the two sides had a reasonable collision.

Naturally, this explanation cannot convince the Malaga players.

So after the game restarts.

The scale of action on Malaga's side began to get bigger and bigger.

Naturally, Athletic Bilbao is not to be outdone, and the game scene between the two sides has become more and more heated.

In the No. 20 minute of the game, Malaga full-back Fernando was shown a yellow card for a foul on Llorente, which made the Malaga players even more angry, because they felt that according to Martinez knocking down Camacho and not calling the foul Standard, this foul action is not enough to get a yellow card.

But soon.

Game No.203 minutes.

After Ye Luo got the ball near the center circle, he was overthrown to the ground by the defender Elora who followed all the way - everyone knew how threatening Ye Luo would be if he turned around.

Therefore, the strategy of Athletic Bilbao is to prevent Ye Luo from taking the ball as much as possible. The next best thing is to prevent him from taking the ball in dangerous areas. Don't let him turn around, foul directly!
This method is of course very effective. Malaga got a free kick, but this free kick was far away from the goal and was not a big threat.

After the whistle was blown, the referee also took out a yellow card from his pocket and showed it to Elora.

Elora looked puzzled and aggrieved, this time it was the turn of the Athletic Bilba players to surround the referee.

Within 3 minutes, both sides received a yellow card each.

The referee found a little balance.

But
The referee's way of finding balance.

It is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Players on both sides are simmering in their hearts.

Let the competition become more intense.

The game started racing towards a wild scene
